Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Eagles Theatre restoration nearly complete by Danielle Smith Eagles Theatre has touched the hearts and lingers in the memories of people of all ages in our area. Some recall their first date at Eagles; others recall their child’s first time viewing a movie at a theater. Restoration and improvements are currently underway to ensure that this historic building lasts as long as its memory. At the beginning of 2010 the 104-year-old building fell into loving hands when it was acquired by the Honeywell Foundation. The restoration efforts began immediately. “We started doing some behind-the-scenes stuff because the theater was still open until July,” said Kyle Dubois, of the Honeywell Foundation. “We’ve been working pretty consistently since the beginning of the year.” Some of this behind-the-scenes work included installation of heating and cooling, addressing electrical concerns and changing over 1,000 light bulbs. “We redid a lot of the marquee. There are two yellow bands that go around it and there are 600 bulbs in those bands alone, not even counting the white bulbs and the neons,” Dubois explained. At the end of July, a volunteer day was held at Eagles Theatre, with over 40 volunteers attending. The volunteers removed the seats from the theater, painted and cleaned. “The people who volunteered were just incredible,” said Scott Fulmer, of the Honeywell Foundation. “They worked so hard that day. It was hot, it was raining and everybody was just soaking wet and dirty. It was a great group effort.” The seats on the main level of the theater were replaced and the floors sanded and repainted. Fresh paint was applied to the interior of the theater in what they believe to be the original color scheme. “We had very little to go on. As we scraped and peeled layers we could see what may have been, but a lot of the area had no layers underneath, it was just paint that had gotten old and dirty,” Dubois said. “We did have some pictures, especially of the outside, from the 20’s or 30’s that were provided to us from the museum and Wabash Marketplace.” The ceiling was in dire need of repair. “There was a hole in the ceiling that was 8 or 10 feet wide and 4 feet long, the ceiling was literally falling down. People were sweeping up the remains of what had fallen before the movie so people could come into the theater,” Dubois said. The platter system in the projector was replaced and a new sound system was installed. Additional decorative touches were replaced or added such as curtains on the box seats, fabric on the walls and accent lighting. A handicapaccessible area was added, and the entry doors to this area are the original theater entry doors. One of the more challenging parts of the restoration was painting the high points of the ceiling, which stretch to heights of 45 feet. “We had to build scaffolding. We knew there was a way up there, but we didn’t know when we got started what we were going to have to do. True Value Hardware donated some scaffolding to us to go all the way up and then we also used a man lift,” Dubois said. Projects to improve the facade of the building included repainting and redoing the glazing and paint surrounding the windows. The lobby now has new paint and carpet. The counter area has been modified and the counter top will be relaminated. “When you first walk in it’s a completely different experience than what it was before,” Dubois said. Since the restoration efforts began, many stories have

(photo by Danielle Smith) been told of experiences at the Eagles Theatre. Some of these can be read on Eagles Theatre’s Facebook page. “There is a huge emotional attachment to this building to a lot of people in the community,” Fulmer said. In order to complete this massive project, the Honeywell Foundation received assistance from the community. “We had huge support from the community. A lot of people came in and volunteered their time and their products. We had discounted products from a lot of local vendors. This whole project has definitely been a group effort,”

Dubois said. Terry Pence is credited with being the overseer of the project. Eagles Theatre will host a grand reopening celebration, Nov. 9-14, in which a free movie will be shown each day at 2 and 7 p.m. The movies will walk through the decades, beginning with The Wizard of Oz, 1939, and ending with Fireproof, 2008. The premiere showing will be Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.

Prosecutor continues to call witnesses in Pattison trial by Danielle Smith Prosecutor William Hartley spent the week calling witnesses to testify on a range of issues relating to the trial of Scott Pattison, accused of murdering his wife, Lisa Pattison. On Oct. 26, jurors entered the circuit court of the Wabash County Judicial Center to find a weight bench set up for them to observe. The first witness called to testify that morning was Richard Moulton, an employee of Koorsen Fire and

Security. He testified that he received a phone call from Pattison approximately a week after the death of Lisa. Pattison had questions about the digital video recorder that was part of the security camera system that the Pattisons had installed at their home. Moulton also explained to the jury that the video has two timestamps, one of which is watermarked so it cannot be altered. Next to take the stand was John Timmons, also an

employee of Koorsen. He received a call from Moulton on July 16, expressing concern about Scott’s inquiries. Timmons contacted Detective Randy Miller, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, and informed him about the call. Detective Mike Davis, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, was the prosecution’s next witness. On July 2, 2009, Davis was contacted to investigate the unattended death of Lisa Pattison. He obtained

search warrants for Pattison’s body, residence and vehicle. He interviewed Pattison then went to the Pattison home. Davis testified that they then seized the weight bench, paperwork and computers from the home. The security system was seized later on. Jurors were allowed to view the security tapes that reveal Pattison arriving at his home at 8:30 a.m., three hours before he originally claimed to arrive. (continued on page 4)

Businesses stepping up Honeywell House support for MRA chili speaker will discuss supper fundraiser on Nov. 6 history of Wabash

The Manchester R e c r e a t i o n Association (MRA) is planning a free-will donation chili supper fundraiser Nov. 6, 5 7:30 p.m., at the Scout Hall. All funds donated will be directly applied to help the MRA meet its 2010 budget and to get things started positively for 2011. “We are hoping this fundraiser will make a real difference,” said board president Tim McLaughlin. The MRA will attempt to get all things needed for the fundraiser donated so that all proceeds will be profit. The MRA has been contacting coaches and asking them to donate a crock pot of chili or dessert as well as businesses to try and get the bowls and silverware donated so that there is no cost for the event. “So far, more than 30 coaches

have committed to bringing a crock pot of chili and many others are bringing d e s s e r t s , ” M c L a u g h l i n explained. Pizza Hut is providing napkins and spoons for the event.

tion, Pattison’s defense introduced two checks into evidence. One to Lisa’s doctor and one to Lisa from her divorce attorney, which was determined to be the return of the balance of her retainer fee. On Oct. 27, the director of product safety for Icon Health and Fitness outlined the safety features of the Smith machine. He also revealed that the bruising on Lisa’s neck was not consistent with what would have been present had an accident occurred during her workout. Dr. Timothy Drinkard testified about what he observed of Lisa when she was brought to the emergency room at Marion General Hospital. He said that she was unresponsive to all procedures and he pronounced her dead at 12:49 p.m. Jason Page, Indiana State Police crime scene investigator, was next to take the stand;

he outlined his findings for the jury. He had found no unusual scratches or defensive wounds on Pattison’s body. He took note of unusual scuffmarks on the carpet by the stairs that Pattison allegedly carried Lisa up. He ruled out mechanical failure of the weight bench as a cause of death and stated that the weight bench was in an odd position with the bar positioned over the user’s neck as opposed to chest. Oct. 28 began with the cross-examination of Jason Page, during which he noted that Lisa’s death was caused by a slow pressure on her throat as opposed to a crushing blow. On Oct. 29, Lucille Rich, Lisa’s mother, took the stand. She referenced a prior conversation with Pattison in which he had told her that Lisa didn’t trust him anymore and he wanted her and her son to leave.

She told the jury that she was eating lunch when Pattison called to tell her to come to the hospital on July 2. He told her that he found Lisa on the weight bench and she had been pronounced dead, then hung up the phone. Dr. Wagner, a forensic pathologist, also took the stand on Oct. 29. He shared his findings with the jury including bruising on Lisa’s neck and scratches on her shoulder and an injury on the bridge of her nose, both of which he said occurred near the time of death. He estimated that she had been dead since before 10 a.m. on July 2, although Pattison did not leave for the hospital until after noon. Next to take the stand was Dillon McCoy, Lisa’s 19-yearold son, who had been at the job site with Scott the day of Lisa’s death. He testified that Scott left the job site early and they had dif-

McCoy informed the jurors that he was eating lunch in Swayzee with the others in Pattison’s roofing crew when Pattison’s sister, an employee at the restaurant, ran out and told McCoy to call Pattison. McCoy reached Pattison and he told him to come to Marion General Hospital. When he arrived, Pattison told McCoy his mother was dead. “At that time I fell on my knees and I was lost,” McCoy said. “I was confused.” McCoy’s testimony also included statements that he had only seen his mother bench press one time and that it would have been uncommon for her to use the Smith machine.

Heartland Career Center hosts 2010 College and Career Day

HEARTLAND COLLEGE AND CAREER DAY: Former Heartland Career Center and current Vincennes University students Nolan Haynes, Ethan Statzer, and Josh Lyons showcase some of the academic offerings the university has to offer. (photo provided)

On Oct. 20th, the students at Heartland participated in the Fall College and Career Day. There were 29 participating schools and employers that visited with students to provide them information about post-secondary options. The goal is to give students a safe place to ask questions and inquire

opportunities about beyond High School. College/Career Fair representatives were from 4-year colleges/universities, 2-year colleges, schools, technical employment unions, services, military, and employers. several Additionally there were bank representatives available to talk to students about financial

aid. The list of participating institutions and representatives included: Army National Guard, Baker College, Brown Mackie College, Charter College of Health & Therapy, Massage Global Precision Parts, Grace College, Indiana Tech, ITT Technical Indiana Institute, University, Wesleyan

which was July 17, the motion was denied. McCoy said that he believed that Pattison and Lisa were still planning to go through with the divorce because all of their wedding pictures were taken down and their house was up for sale. On Nov. 1, before the jury entered, Judge Robert McCallen addressed an issue of Pattison having contact with the prosecution’s witnesses via telephone. Later, he asked members of the audience to refrain

from discussing the case, stating that this could result in a mistrial. Jared Tolley, a former employee of Pattison, testified that Pattison spoke of Stacey Henderson frequently and that she came to a jobsite once to visit him. Tolley is currently serving a 10year sentence for robbery, but he was not offered any benefit for his testimony against Pattison. Christine Smith, Lisa’s older sister, was the prosecution’s next

Each of the 530 students is asked to complete a questionnaire, which helps them interact with the representatives. “The idea is to encourage the students to consider their options beyond high school and

to give them a starting point for getting the necessary information. We do this event twice a year to familiarize students with the great network of college and career options available to them in our local area. “We can’t thank the representatives enough for their willingness to visit with our students and share their information.” The next event is scheduled for April 20 at Heartland, which coincides with the public open house where many of the representatives will be available during the day and into the

evening at the career

witness. She revealed that Lisa had planned to make her son the sole beneficiary of her $450,000 life insurance policy. Lisa had received the paperwork for this action, but it was not sent. Smith testified that she and her husband, Brian, met with Pattison and she asked him to explain what had happened. “I touched his arm and said ‘If it was just an accident please tell me’ and he didn’t respond,” Smith said. She went on to say that

Pattison asked if the beneficiary on Lisa’s policy had been changed and she told him that it had. She stated that he appeared upset and stunned. Later in the day, a coworker of Stacey Henderson was called to the stand. She testified that Pattison came to their office and called often. She stated that Pattison told her, on two occasions, that he would leave Lisa for Stacey. The trial is slated to continue for 1-2 more weeks.

Wabash’s longest operating contractor shares construction experience

HANK EILTS enjoys collecting and working on tractors. His collection was featured in the September 2010 issue of Green Magazine. Eilts is the founder of Hank’s Construction, the longest standing contracting business in ours and surrounding counties. (photo by Danielle Smith)

by Danielle Smith A Person You Should Know this week is Hank Eilts, founder of Hank’s Construction, the oldest contracting business in Wabash and the surrounding counties. Hank was born in Rensselaer in 1931, the youngest of eight siblings. His mother died when he was four years old, at which time his father moved the family to a 200acre farm in Pleasant Township. It was shortly following the Depression and the family was able to purchase the farm on a loan and did not have to pay on it until their crop came in the next year. Hank still manages the farm, which is located on CR 1050 N. Hank and his wife married in 1955, he was working for M c M a n n ’ s Construction at the time. He left there to work for Reath Rowley Construction in Seymour in 1960. For the next 10 years he worked all over the northern area of Indiana. He bought a house west of North

Manchester then moved to Indianapolis to work in 1965. He continued working all around Indianapolis until 1969. In 1969, Hank went out on his own and negotiated a contract with L.W. Eddison, in Michigan, to do the structure work on U.S. 30. Hank’s Construction became incorporated in 1970. Hank and his wife had three children, Karla, born in 1957, Tammy, born in 1959, and Karen, born in 1963. Hank now has five grandchildren ranging in age from three to 27 years old. He is a member of

enced by different things. It makes it a little harder to deal with. What historical or interesting jobs have you done? I tore down the warehouse where Launder’s Orchard used to be. I have some equipment that came out of there that I took down to the Ol’ Boys’ Toys Expo, they had a special booth for Launder’s Orchard. It was pretty neat to tear down the Wolfe house, east of the library. It was right next to the library and the library bought it and expanded. I tore a lot of houses down for the Honeywell; I had 17 at one time. When Honeywell was built, I did the work in ’92 for the new Ford Theater, all the excavation and demolition. What is the key to having loyal employees? I have three people that have been with me for a long time, Wilbur Hall, George Glosher and Bill Taylor. We were loyal to each other. It was easy because they didn’t have to hunt for a job and I could rely on what they were going to do. Don’t get me wrong, I threw my hat on the ground a lot of

times and stomped on it and fussed at them and run them off, but it’s been a good rela-

tionship for all of us. How has your business remained successful in these

and that helps a lot in business or yourself. You have to have a challenge to your work and you have to enjoy it. Between those two things and being reliable you’ll end up with a pretty good business. What do you do for enjoyment? I like to collect and work on tractors and I play basketball about three nights a week. I golf quite a bit and play volleyball on Tuesdays and Fridays. I coached the last girls’ basketball in the gym on Hill Street. They had a girls’ league and all three of my girls played in it before they ended the league. I played the first basketball sectional tourney held in the Honeywell gym in 1942, and then it’s ironic that 60 years later, almost to the month, they opened the Y and I opened the gym there. I still enjoy basketball about as much as anything. The Lord has kept me pretty healthy that I am able to continue playing. What are some of

your childhood memories? Every day in the summer we used to swim in a lake on our farm. We would play volleyball and baseball every weekend. A lot of kids from Wabash would come up there. There were eight of us and my mother was taken when I was four so we moved up here. I think ‘how in the world can a man with eight kids and no mom run a house?’ We used to raise 10 acres of potatoes. We had sweet corn, anything to keep us busy. Have you done any traveling? I just got back from West Virginia, my wife’s family lived there and we used to go there all the time. Every time it rained we would head for West Virginia with the kids. What is next for you? I guess I’ll keep on playing ball until the Lord stops me. I’ll play golf and work when I want to. Everybody asks me why I haven’t retired, but I kind of look at it as I am retired because I do what I want to and that’s a pretty good retirement. If I want to sit on a machine a few hours a day I can do that. Is there anyone you know that you feel like everyone should know? Feel free to nominate someone for this column by contacting Mike Rees at mrees@thepaperofwabash.com or Brent Swan at news@thepaperofwabash.com. Either of them can also be contacted by phone at 260-563-8326. The only requirements are that the individual is a positive, local person.

The Kiwanis was privileged to have as their guest at their meeting on Oct. 5 officers from the newly formed K-Kids Club from O.J. Neighbours Elementary School. The officers were the program and each officer spoke about what they enjoyed about K-Kids so far. The principal from O.J. Neighbours, Melissa Jessup, and the teacher representative, Judy Ward, also accompanied the children to the meeting. The club was formed as an extension of Kiwanis to teach them life skills, teach them to volunteer their time to help others, learn leadership skills and just enjoy being together. This month they are making gifts to give to veterans who are visiting their school and are enjoying a party with the Kiwanis Key Club from Wabash High Schools. At the end of the meeting, Donna Siders, K-Kids Kiwanis representative, presented Kiwanis President Juanita Rapp with a K-Kids patch to go on the Kiwanis banner.

Ivy Tech Peru receives $25,000 2-1-1 services still available in Wabash County gift from Schneider Electric

KYLE HAMM, plant manager of the Schneider Electric plant in Peru, hands a $15,000 check to Theresa Murphy, executive dean of the college’s Peru Instructional Site at Ivy Tech. With its total pledged gift totaling $25,000, the company will be honored with the naming rights to a classroom or computer lab on campus. (photo provided) The Ivy Tech Foundation received a $25,000 gift on Tuesday from Schneider Electric to support the college’s regional Building communities. Changing lives. Vision Campaign. The gift, designated to Ivy Tech Peru, enables Schneider Electric to name a classroom or lab in the college’s C. Don B a k e h o r n Instructional Site building. Kyle Hamm, Schneider Electric’s Peru Panelboard Operations Plant Manager, says the decision to support the college was an easy choice. “This gift illustrates Schneider Electric’s commitment to education and to the development of our local community,” says Hamm. “We’ve been providing grants to support education here in the community since 1920. We’re certainly pleased to be able to support the continued growth of the local Ivy Tech campus and we look forward to our continued partnership. “We’re just happy to have such a highquality option for higher education in Peru.” Theresa Murphy, executive director of the Peru Instructional Site, is grateful for the company’s support. “We can’t say thank you enough to Schneider Electric

for their commitment to Ivy Tech and to the community of Peru. It is because of Schneider Electric and others like it that the citizens of Peru and Miami County have a quality, affordable, closeto-home option to pursue a college education. The gift is not the first partnership between Schneider Electric and Ivy Tech. In the past, the college has provided on-site, tailored training programs for employees at Schneider Electric’s Peru plant, and, in 2007, Schneider Electric donated grant money to join other communityminded companies and individuals in helping to establish the Ivy Tech campus in Peru. The $25,000 gift will be added to the college’s regional Building communities. Changing lives. Vision Campaign total. The campaign is an effort to raise funds to continue expanding the educational opportunities the Kokomo Region offers. In the last five years alone, the region has experienced a more-than80-percent increase in enrollment which has resulted in the greater need to expand and enhance both programs and facilities. As a global specialist in energy management with operations in more than 100 countries, Schneider

Electric offers integrated solutions across multiple market segments, including leadership positions in energy and infrastructure, industrial processes, building automation, and data centers/networks, as well as a broad presence in residential applications. Focused on making energy safe, reliable, and efficient, the company’s 100,000+ employees worldwide achieved sales of nearly $22 billion in 2009, through an active commitment to help individuals and organizations “make the most of their energy.” The Ivy Tech Foundation partners with donors to invest in Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana students, faculty, and programs to build stronger com-

munities and a better Indiana. For more information about the Ivy Tech Foundation or to learn how you can make a lasting impact with a gift to the college, contact Greg Aaron, executive director of resource development for Ivy Tech’s Kokomo Region, at (800) 4590561, ext. 450, or gaaron1@ivytech.edu . Ivy Tech Community College is the state’s largest public postsecondary institution and the nation’s largest singly accredited statewide community college system serving nearly 200,000 students annually. Ivy Tech has campuses throughout Indiana. It serves as the state’s engine of workforce development, offering affordable degree programs and training that are aligned with the needs of its community along with courses and programs that transfer to other colleges and universities in Indiana. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association. Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region serves Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Tipton and Wabash counties and includes campuses or instructional sites in the communities of Kokomo, Logansport, North Manchester, Peru, Rochester, Wabash and Winamac.

Northeast Indiana’s 2-1-1 Call Center is extending its free telephone information and referral service to all Wabash County residents, thanks to the support of the Wabash County United Fund. 2-1-1 is a national dialing code for free access to health and human service information and referral. By dialing the three simple numbers (2-1-1), most northeast Indiana residents can get free, confidential, and 24hour information about local social services, such as housing, shelter, food, legal aid, clothing, counseling, utility assistance, health care, transportation, and more. The Community Foundation of Wabash County supplied grant monies to cover the first year’s expenses associated with the free service. The Town of North Manchester, the City of Wabash and Wabash County Commissioners have graciously covered the expense of continuing the service as well as signed letters of intent in support of the continuation of the 2-1-1 for the following year. 2-1-1 is easy to use and helps track gaps, duplication and trends in social services. 2-1-1 is essential in disaster relief, helping reduce non-emergency calls to 911 by connecting victims, donors and volunteers with social service agencies. 2-1-1 can also be good for business because it helps employees through crises. Christine Flohr, Wabash County United Fund executive director, shared her enthusiasm for the service. “21-1 service is a crucial service for connecting

quality aide to community members who need it,” she said. “We’re very appreciative to our partners who recognize its importance.” Calls to 2-1-1 are increasing. Averages of 60 residents are taking advantage of the service each month. Most of the calls are related to basic needs like food,

clothing, shelter, and financial assistance for rent and utilities. Wabash County United Fund is dedicated to providing the necessary financial and human resources to support 20 qualified organizations in their efforts to enhance the quality of life for any and all of the residents of Wabash County.

From 12 to 1 p.m. at Eugenia’s on Nov. 6, Mental Health America is sponsoring a free session led by the Hon. Christopher M. Goff, Wabash County Superior Court Judge, on the recertification of Wabash County’s Problem Solving Court that will now include a Mental Health Court. Jessica Rupchock, Director of the Wabash Bowen Center, will also be speaking about the role Bowen Center has had with the already establish drug court and how their counselors will help with the new Mental Health Court. Mary Ann Mast, Executive Director of Mental Health America, will open the session with brief remarks about Mental Health America. This past year a law was passed in Indiana that states the all counties shall have an advisory board that will develop a forensic diversion plan to provide adults who have a mental illness, an addictive disorder, or both a mental illness and an addict ice disorder and who have been charged with a non-violent crime, an opportunity (pre-conviction or post-conviction) to receive community treatment and other services addressing mental health and addictions instead of or in addition to incarceration. Since 2006 Judge Goff and Judge McCallen have worked together in the operation of a very successful Drug Court with statistics that show that treatment does prevent individuals from being arrested again and again for the same offense. At this free noon session on Nov. 6, Judge Goff will explain how problem solving courts work, how they help people receive the treatment they need sometimes without being incarcerated, and how this affects you and the taxes you pay. This noon session is free. Reservations for this session are appreciated, but are not required. There is a buffet lunch served before the session that does require a reservation. For more information or a reservation, call 866774-3432 or email mamast1906@comcast.net. Mental Health America is a Wabash County United Fund Agency. Please support the current United Fund campaign so that we can continue to work for all of the people of Wabash County.

Resident expresses ongoing concern for flooding of Senior Center parking lot Dear editor, This article is intended to be a follow-up of an earlier writing concerning the flooding of the southeast parking lot at the Winchester Senior Center. I would invite anyone after a moderate rain to drive by this parking lot and see the water standing where guests of the Center are to park. Then visualize for a minute that water frozen and turned into slick ice. Get the problem? And to think, it has been there for years. Wet feet we can stand, but broken bones from a fall, we cannot.

Mr. Mayor, if help is on the way please disregard this writing and thank you so much. Bernie Dillard Wabash

T H E LAFONTAINE RED BONNET BELLES met for their October lunch at Homers in Peru. Joann Draper was hostess with the help of Reba Jacobs. It was good to see Reba back again since she has missed several months due to cancer. Dolly Hoch said the prayer before the meal. She also told the ladies about an invitation to a Red hat Holiday Christmas Party on Dec. 4 in Plymouth. We will decide at the next meeting how many would like to go.

Joann played a Red Hat bingo game. Several prizes were won. It was fun. Dolly gave away four prizes. Names were drawn and winners were: Jan Hullinger, Mary Ruth Mendenhall, Reba Jacobs and Marilyn Fischer. Our November meeting will be held at Ugalde’s in Wabash with Kathy Eviston as hostess. There were 11 members and one guest present. Those in attendance were: Rita Carlson, Marilyn Fischer, Margerite Guenin, Dorothy Henderson, Dolly Hoch, Jan Hullinger, Reba Jacobs, Mary Ruth Mendenhall, Jean Snapp, Barbara Weidner, Joann Draper, and Joann’s sister, Frances, as our guest.

Hoch.) APRON STRINGS: Isn’t it funny how society moves away from tradition? Think Little House on the Prairie, think grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Think mothers. They all worked and worked hard at making a home, working toward the survival of the family. And they all wore aprons. In the good old days, they wore aprons all day every day. They didn’t have washing machines – who needed one with only two dresses to their names? Aprons served a purpose. Aprons kept clothes from becoming soiled by the chores of everyday life. Often, aprons had pockets where a woman would store her rolling pin, clothes pins, handkerchiefs; she might use

the corner of her apron for a hot pad to remove pans from the oven or a place to store treats for the kids. Aprons were tied to domestic life. And now, quite possibly, they serve as a reminder to women how those apron strings kept us tied to the kitchen. In our societal changes, we’ve decided we need more clothes. We need more of this, more of that. We need things to make our jobs easier and faster as we multitask ourselves further and further away from the lives once led by our ancestors. We’ve evolved from toting laundry to the creekside into a society who needs the Maytag repairman. As a majority, we’ve cut the apron strings to domestic lives. When we’re in the kitchen making pie crusts, rolling noodles, or just cleaning the counters, it’s inevitable we’ll walk away with something on our clothes. It’s sim-

ple. We simply change clothes (you know we have plenty), throw the dirty into the washer, flip a switch, press a button and ta-da. Clean clothes. It’s not so bad, when you’re caught up in the grind of high tech lifestyles. But when you take time to breathe, and breathe you will, you may reach a point where you wonder what it is you’re working for. It’s a crazy rat race out there. You meet yourself coming and going, often times forgetting where you’ve been. It’s times like these where one pulls out the trunk in the attic. You know, the one where you’ve stored Grandma’s apron. Tie the strings around your waist, take a step back in time and connect to the women who built our world. There is strength in the strings. ~ Lynnanne THANK YOU! I would like to thank all the ladies from LaFontaine United

Methodist Church who made desserts and sandwiches for Charlie Enyeart’s funeral dinner and delivery service to the Lincolnville U.M. Church on Oct. 19. I’d also like to thank the ones from Lincolnville Church who brought food and helped me serve the soups, etc., and for helping to clean up afterwards. Thank you so much.

WINTERIZE SPECIAL 2010 Tips for winterizing your home against indoor allergies (ARA) - Spring and fall are the most notorious allergy seasons, but as any of the estimated 50 million Americans who suffer from allergies know, winter can be just as uncomfortable. As we move our lives back indoors, we often seal up our homes to prevent the cold from seeping in. While

that’s good for energy bills and staying warm, if you don’t take some precautions, it can cause problems for those with indoor allergies. To make sure that your home is a healthy one throughout the season, start taking action against allergens as you winterize your house.

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), some of the most common indoor allergens are mold spores, dust mites and pet dander so pay special attention to preventing those. As the weeks pass, keep to a schedule of cleaning that will maintain a lower

level of allergens. Here are some tips to help you make your home a haven where allergy sufferers will feel comfortable. Don’t let towels pile up. Whether in the kitchen or the bathroom, it’s important that damp towels aren’t left to sit in a pile. The moisture they retain can create perfect conditions for growing mold or provide an ideal home for mites. Hang towels so that they can dry fully and launder them in your washing machine at least once a week to get rid of mold spores. Stop the fur from flying. AAFA notes that cat dander is the most common pet allergy. But whether you have a dog, cat or other furry critter, they can cause discomfort for any members of your household with allergies, as well for any guests who come to town for holiday celebrations. To cut down on allergens from both dander and saliva, be sure to wash your pets’ toys and beds regularly. Vacuuming up pet hair is also an essential step. A vacuum cleaner like LG’s LuV300B Kompressor is a good option because its HEPA filter captures 99.97 percent of common household allergens. It has also been certified “asthma and

allergy friendly” by AAFA. Giving your pets regular baths and brushings can also help to cut down on the amount of hair and dander that they shed. Make your bed and sleep in it. If your sleep is being disrupted by allergy symptoms, you need to make sure that your bedding isn’t part of the problem. Miteproof bedding and mattress or pillowcases can help cut allergens, but you should also remember that washing, cleaning and replacement are important. Some washing machines from LG feature the Allergiene cycle, a specialized steam cycle that helps to kill dust mites and their eggs; it’s the only such cycle that has also been certified by AAFA. While you’re washing your sheets and comforters, take time to vacuum your mattress with a HEPA-filter equipped vacuum. Pillows should be replaced every two years and it’s suggested that mattresses be replaced every 10 years. Don’t forget decor. Vacuuming your floors is a given, but to really make an impact on the allergens in your home, you need to pay attention the rest of your decor as well. Area

rugs in the living room or bedrooms, as well as kitchen and bath floor mats need to be vacuumed often and, if possible, laundered regularly. Cleaning the upholstery on your couches and chairs is another essential step - pet hair and dust mites can settle there and irritate people with allergies. Large capacity washing machines that are certified “asthma and allergy friendly” are ideal for large items like throw rugs and slip covers from your couch or easy chair. If they can’t go in the washing machine, have

Smart, simple and walletfriendly weatherizaton tips (ARA) - Getting ready for the coldest months of the year means a lot of things. You need to get warm clothes out of storage, decorate for the holidays and, of course, make sure your house keeps out drafts that can make you shiver and drive up utility bills. While it might seem like a lot to take on, prepping your home for winter doesn’t need to take a lot of time or cost a small fortune. Sprucing up your home with seasonal

decor is great for creating a cozy feeling, but you need to pay just as much attention to what you can’t see. To make your home a warm and inviting haven, think about what’s behind the walls and in the attic - and how you can save energy. After all, what you can’t see can often ends up costing you a lot of money. To get started on weatherizing your home for fall and winter, follow these energy-efficient tips: Find hidden energy leaks in your home. A thermal leak detector that senses changes in temperature can help you find where your home’s weak spots are. Insulate. The Department of Energy recommends that you have approximately 19 inches of insulation in your attic. According to the EPA, adding insulation to your home can save your family up to $200 a year on utility bills. For the average attic that has existing insulation, you will need to add R-30 unfaced insulation. The greater the material’s R-value, the better it performs as an insulator.

17 Find, fix and forget - simple steps to weatherize your home this winter Winterize Special 2010

November 3, 2010

(ARA) - The weather outside is about to get frigid and frightful, but inside, many homeowners can still enjoy the comfort and coziness of warmth ... if they don’t have to worry about cold air drafts and leaks causing the temperature inside to plummet like the climate outside. Luckily, for many homeowners, problem areas where cold air is sneaking in - and warm air may be escaping can easily be found, fixed and then forgotten. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the annual energy bill for a typical single family home is about $2,200. By properly sealing and insulating your home, you can save up to 10 percent on home energy costs. And, you don’t need a permanent and more expensive draft-blocking

solution, such as installing new windows, adding more insulation or replacing old doors with insulated versions, to stay warm and reap the financial rewards. Here are a few simple do-it-yourself steps to keep the warm air - and cost savings - in your home this winter: Find. Perform a home energy audit to determine where you might have some issues. While you can pay a professional, this can also be done quickly with a simple list and a few household items. To start, make a list of potential problem areas, including windows and doors, as well as places where pipes, electrical outlets, vents and mail slots are located. To complete the audit, make sure all doors, windows and fireplace chutes are

closed, shut off all combustion appliances, and turn on exhaust fans (in the kitchen and bathrooms, if you have them). Then, take a lit incense stick or candle and hold it in front of the areas you listed as possible problem sources - leaks and drafts will cause the smoke or flame to flow in the direction of the air leak. Be sure to keep track of any areas in need of sealing. You can also shine a flashlight around doors and windows to look for gaps and cracks - if you see light shining through, you’ve likely found an area in need of fixing. Fix. Once you’ve determined the areas that need attention, look for DIY weatherization products that can help. Many costeffective, easy-toinstall solutions are on the market today, with many formulat-

ed for specific problem areas. For leaks around pipes, electrical outlets, vents or mail slots, consider caulk or other specialized products, like foam seals, to block the drafts. Drafts around windows can be fixed with a window insulation kit, typically a clear plastic film that can be placed on the inside or outside of the window to create a draft-proof seal that can easily be removed when the cold air clears out. Additionally, many window and door seals can be applied quickly and easily, but don’t forget about the bottom, where cold air might be creeping in. For leaks under doors and windows, look for a solution that will “hug” the bottom to create an airtight barrier. The Double Draft Seal from Duck brand offers two layers of protection from

home, visit lowes.com/insulation. Caulk and seal. Gaps, cracks and holes let the warm air out and the cold air in, making your home drafty and sending your energy bills sky high. Air leaks from windows and doors are easy to find because they are easy to feel. Install weather strip or caulk to seal the frame. Air leaks in your attic or basement are harder to find, but cost you a lot in warmth and money. Take time to search your attic and basement so that you can find hidden energy leaks, especially along ducts and vents. A quick fix for these trouble spots is insulating foam sealant. Give your windows a check-up. If you’re handy and your windows have seen better days, installing new windows is a good project to take on. Replace single-

paned windows that waste energy and require a lot of maintenance with maintenance-free vinyl windows that have many energyefficient features. For additional savings, make sure the replacement windows you use are Energy Star-qualified models, like Pella’s ThermaStar windows. They can help you save up to $500 a year in energy

bills, according to the EPA. With all windows, it’s important they’re installed properly. If you’re not sure of your abilities, call in a pro. If you’re not sure of where to start with weatherization, there are plenty of resources. In addition to consulting the experts at your local home improvement store, you can find kits like “Weatherizing for

Dummies” that will get you started with key items like weather strip, outlet sealers and caulk. With a few simple steps, your home will be more efficient - protecting you from high energy bills, as well as the cold of winter.

drafts, sealing underneath doors and windows from both sides, for maximum energy efficiency and thermal protection. Forget. Take the time to fix the problem areas now and you’ll forget you had any air leaks and drafts by the time the weather turns frigid

and frightful. For DIYers, it’s as simple as taking the time to find the cold air sources, choosing the right products to block the drafts and installing them properly. The fall offers many perfect opportunities to get DIY weatherization done.

And, many of these projects can be completed in a weekend and then forgotten throughout the cold winter months - all without breaking the bank. For more information and tips to winterize your home, visit DuckBrand.com/Ho meSmart.

Ten tips for a cleaner and more efficient wood fire (ARA) - Heating your home with a wood stove this winter? Now is a good time to ensure your wood stove will generate as much heat as possible while protecting your family’s health. Wood smoke is a mixture of gases and particles, also called

particle pollution, that isn’t healthy to breathe indoors or out - especially for children, older adults and people with heart disease, asthma and other lung diseases. Particle pollution can irritate your respiratory system, and is linked to health problems such as bronchi-

tis and asthma attacks. Replacing your wood stove with a model certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) can make a big difference. About 75 percent of the 12 million wood stoves used in the U.S. were built before 1990. These

stoves put out about 70 percent more wood smoke than the EPAcertified stoves on the market today. These older stoves are also about half as efficient as today’s models, meaning you have to burn a lot more wood in your old stove to get the same amount of heat. Several financial incentives are available for purchasing cleaner, more efficient wood-burning appliances. The federal government and several states may offer tax credits for buying a more efficient biomass stove. If you’re not able to replace your older stove this year, there are still ways that you can reduce pollution, according to the EPA. The manner in which you operate a wood stove is important to help reduce pollution and maximize energy

efficiency. Follow these tips from EPA for a cleaner, safer fire: Age all firewood at least six months to help it dry out. Dried wood burns hotter, cuts fuel consumption and reduces smoke. Burn the right firewood. Split, stack, cover the top and store your wood for quicker drying. Never burn trash or treated wood, which can release toxic chemicals into the air. Keep your chimney clean. A clean chimney provides good draft for your stove and reduces the risk of a chimney fire. Have a certified professional inspect your wood-burning appliance and chimney once a year. Follow instructions. Operate your wood stove according to the manufacturer’s instructions and fol-

low all maintenance procedures. Upgrade to cleaner equipment. EPA-certified wood stoves and fireplace inserts burn cleaner and more efficiently, emitting less pollution than older models. Stoves with solid doors (with no glass panes) generally are older and should be replaced and disposed of properly. Start it right. Use only clean newspaper or dry kindling to start a fire. Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal starter or a propane torch. Check your local air quality forecast. Make sure your area has not issued a No Burn Day. Clean ashes. Excess ashes can clog the air intake vents. Be sure to dispose of ashes in a metal container away from the house or any flammable material to reduce the

risk of fire. Be a good neighbor. Follow good woodburning practices and always remember to comply with state and local codes. If you see smoke, there may be a problem. A properly installed and used wood-burning appliance should be smokefree inside and out. If you notice a lot of smoke coming from your chimney or stove, your wood may be too wet or you may need a more efficient appliance. Smoke from a chimney can mean wasted energy.

(ARA) - The holidays provide a great opportunity to connect with friends and family and to celebrate the joys of the season. Unfortunately, they are also viewed as a time of opportunity for wouldbe burglars. “Taking steps to protect your home during the holidays isn’t radically different from what most people should be doing the rest of the year,” says Thomas Leman, a retired 27-year veteran of the police force and criminal justice professor at Argosy University Online. Yet, according to the FBI, victims of burglaries suffered a loss of $4.6 billion in property in 2009 alone. “The problem,” says Leman, “is that most people get lured into a false sense of security and tend to let their guard down thinking that crime won’t happen to

them.” Just as the holidays seem to start with the change in your home decor, so should your view on safety. When it comes to holiday decorations, modesty is definitely the best policy, says Leman. “While you may love the look of a Christmas tree in your front window, expensive decorations on display can be a signal that there are valuables inside your home worth a criminal’s time. Gifts under the tree are the most blatant of these displays and are a welcome invitation for thieves.” Leaving gifts tucked away until the last possible minute is a quick and easy safety precaution. Whether you are home or out and about, take care to close and lock all doors and windows and set alarms.

“Given that most people have extra valuables and gifts in their homes during this time, it’s a good idea to practice home safety whether you’re there or not,” says Leman. USAA, a leading provider of banking, insurance and investment services to the military community, advises customers to install tapered inchlong deadbolt locks on exterior doors to make it harder for a wrench to twist the door open. Leman adds that a simple dowel placed in a sliding glass door or window can be an inexpensive way to secure those entrance points as well. “Alarms or closed circuit video surveillance systems are a great and inexpensive way to protect your home,” says Leman. A well-lit and wellgroomed home not only shows well, but provides an important measure of safety. “The better the lighting in your home and yard, the fewer places there are for criminals to lurk,” says Leman. USAA recommends homeowners use the “3 foot/6 foot rule,” trimming branches to 6 feet off the ground and shrubs down to 3 feet to minimize hiding places for burglars. While leaving the box for your new 55inch flat screen on the

curb will win you cool points with the neighborhood and the title of host of the next big football party, it could land you in trouble with potential burglars. “When it comes to big ticket items and valuables, boxes on the curb can be an advertisement for the new valuables in your home,” cautions Leman. “Take the time to break down boxes and recycle them or put them on the curb over time and inconspicuously,” he advises. If you plan on traveling for the holidays, you need to plan ahead for home safety. Whether you opt to have a neighbor collect mail and newspapers or have your service stopped by calling the post office and your neighborhood delivery person, be sure neither piles up at home. “Set your lights and television on timers,” suggests Leman, who also advises homeowners to have a neighbor park their car in your driveway intermittently to keep up the appearance someone is home. While keeping your home safe may not top the list of your holiday “to dos,” taking a few extra precautions can go a long way to make sure your season stays merry and bright.

Federal tax credits set to expire by end of year (ARA) - Putting off that home improvement project? Waiting too long could be detrimental to your wallet. On Dec. 31, the federal tax credit worth up to $1,500 for energy-efficient home improvements will expire, leaving procrastinating homeowners out in the cold - or at least chilly from their old, drafty windows. In addition to tax credit savings, many window sellers are offering savings on qualifying windows during October, which happens to be National Energy Awareness month. “The timing couldn’t be better for value shoppers to make the investment into new energy efficient windows for their homes,” says Erin Johnson, window expert for Edgetech I.G. “Special offers and tax credits will add up through December, but the long-term savings on energy bills will be long-lasting if consumers do their homework to find the right windows to meet all of their needs.” Shopping for replacement windows The first rule of thumb when shopping for new sustainable windows is to understand what the

labels mean, and to read them carefully. Windows that bear the ENERGY STAR label are proven to reduce heating and cooling costs, and are National Fenestration Ratings Council (NFRC) approved for U-factor (the rate of heat loss through the window) and solar heat gain (how well the window blocks heat from the sun). To meet the federal tax credit requirements, windows must achieve a .30 U-factor and .30 solar heat gain coefficient, and this information should be clearly marked on the windows. But to ensure the long-term performance of replacements, there are a number of other factors that should be considered, including condensation resistance. “The existence of condensation on windows is a sign that a window is inefficient,” Johnson says. “This can even occur in newer, poorly constructed windows and will lead to other problems, including mold and damage to curtains, walls, carpet and the window itself. Most importantly, moisture can lead to seal failure and the need to replace the entire window system.” Some NFRC labels

include condensation resistance (CR), which is reported on a scale from one to 100, and measures the ability of a product to resist formation of condensation on the interior surface of the product. The higher the CR rating, the better that product is at resisting condensation formation. While this rating cannot predict condensation, it can provide a credible method of comparing the potential of various products for condensation formation. This rating is not required to be posted on new windows - so be sure to do your homework if it isn’t there. The primary component to watch for to prevent condensation is the spacer - the window component that separates and seals the two panes of glass. According to the NFRC, an important step toward reducing the potential for condensation is the use of a warm edge spacer system that reduces the conductivity through the edge of the window. “Non-metal, dualsealed warm edge spacer systems, such as Super Spacer, are less conductive than metal spacers, which leads to less condensation in insulating glass windows,”

Johnson says. “Because of its allfoam, no-metal design, Super Spacer offers the highest condensation resistance in the industry.” According to Johnson, all-foam spacers have other benefits that will ensure the long-term energy performance of replacement windows. “Rigid, metal spacers do not bend, so over time stress from wind, snow and barometric pressure changes can cause the seal to crack. A flexible spacer will expand and contract with weather changes, keeping the seal intact and the window performing longer,” she says. A survey conducted by the Alliance to Save Energy found that 64 percent of homes in the U.S. have single-pane windows, which contribute up to 35 percent of energy wasted in buildings. In cold climates, energy-efficient, dualpane windows with low-e coatings can reduce heating bills by as much as 34 percent. In warm climates, they can cut cooling costs by 38 percent.

Saving energy might not be as difficult as you think (ARA) - While saving energy and lowering your bills during the winter takes some personal sacrifice, it might not be as hard as you think. With a combination of changing your habits and a few simple fixes, it’s possible to realize significant savings on your utility bills. You could be well on your way to saving money and lessening your impact on the environment this winter by making a few simple changes: Reduce your home’s average temperature by a degree or two. You obviously don’t want to make your house too chilly for you or your guests, but this is a case where a little can go a long way. For each degree, you may be able to save 1 percent on your heating bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Over the whole winter, that 1 or 2 percent can amount to quite a bit in actual savings. Consider a programmable thermostat. This allows you to set the

heat at a lower temperature while you are at work or while you sleep, and then program the thermostat to reach comfortable levels before you arrive home in the evening or get up in the morning. Products like the Schlage LiNK remote home-management system, which can be used with a Trane Remote Energy M a n a g e m e n t

Thermostat, allow you the option of controlling the temperature of your home from most Web-enabled cell phones or a computer no matter where you are. You can also set up the system so when you enter your code in the Schlage wireless keypad lock in your front door, the thermostat will adjust to a temperature that’s most com-

fortable for you. You can even program the thermostat to send text or email alerts if the temperature goes below a preset level, indicating a potential heating system failure. With a system like this, you can save a lot of energy - and money - and always be comfortable when you arrive home. Check your HVAC (continued on page 20)

How you can make your home and family - more fire safe

(ARA) - A home fire is as devastating as it is dangerous. Fires in the United States cost as much as $347 billion every year, taking into account medical treatments, property damage, fire department costs, lawsuits and more. Even more distressing is the fact that as many as 3,200 civilians and 85 firefighters lose their lives to fire every year. Those figures make it clear why it’s so essential to protect your family and your home from fire. With the right precautionary steps, your home can be safe and secure. To start, go through your home with this fire safety checklist. Check smoke detectors to make sure they’re working properly and that batteries have full power. There should be at least one smoke alarm on each floor of your house. Consider investing in residential fire sprinklers. If your home already has them, make sure that they are inspected by trained professionals on a regular basis. Make a list of emergency fire, police and medical phone numbers and keep it near your house phone. You could also program the numbers into the cell phones of adult family members in case you have to leave the house before placing the call. Teach children how to call for help in case of an emergency. Make sure that your house number is clearly visible from at least 20 feet away. If trees or bushes are obscuring the house number, trim the foliage back. Keep flammable liquids away from heating sources. Store them in a cool location away from paper products and cloth materials. It’s important to remember that while having smoke alarms is essential, they are just the first step in ensuring your family’s safety. They will alert you to a fire, but having a method that gives you more time to escape, like residential fire sprinklers, is an even more effective way to protect your family and home. Residential fire sprinklers are designed to contain and even extinguish a fire before the fire department arrives on scene. Installing a fire sprinkler system has become more affordable, and is less expensive than installing granite countertops or upgraded cabinets in your home, and sprinkler heads now blend almost seamlessly into your ceiling. With improved technology, according to the National Fire Sprinkler Association, residential fire sprinklers are activated by heat, not smoke, and only the fire sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, which cuts down on water damage while still protecting your family and property. Once you’ve gone through your fire safety checklist, it’s important to sit down with your family and create a detailed emergency plan. Think of at least two ways to escape from every room in the house and consider purchasing chain-link safety ladders for second-floor rooms. Then, take the time to do a family fire drill, ending in a designated “safe” place that you would go to in a real emergency. Practice a number of times throughout the year to make sure that everyone has the plan memorized. When you know how to escape a fire and protect your home and family, you’ll be able to rest easier.

Trane thermostat mentioned above, will send text alerts when filters need to be replaced. Seal places where heat could escape. Some strategic caulking and weather stripping can go a long way toward bringing your heating costs way down; the Department of Energy says properly sealing your home can reduce costs by 20 percent. Using duct sealant to close up any exposed heating or cooling ducts can also offer significant savings. Keep curtains open during the day to let in natural heat energy. Keep them closed at night to provide extra insulation around your windows. If you’re looking for more ideas on how to save energy, it may be a good idea to have a local contractor conduct an energy audit on your home or visit www.energystar.gov for more information. The auditor will be able to give you minor tips, as well as suggestions for major projects you may want to do in the future. After all, with a few simple cost-saving measures in place, you might be able to afford bigger energy-saving projects in years to come.

lar meeting at 7 p.m. The Christmas party for members and guests will be Dec. 13. Besides the 17 members present, Luke Hunt’s brother, Orville Hunt, from Grand Rapids, Mich., attended the meeting. LADIES NITE OUT CLUB members were treated to an entertaining and informative program when they met for their October meeting at the restored German School located at 3995 N 1000 W on the Huntington / Wabash county line next to St. Paul’s Church, which was originally St. Paul’s German Evangelical Church. This German school was built in 1887 and was used as a church and school for the several German families that settled in the area. Thelma Jean (Goebel) Gernand, who attended the school as a child, was interested in its restoration. She presented the history of the building and then her cousin, Carolyn Hegel, gave some history of the families that used the school. Before the program club members sang the Table Blessing, enjoyed a brown bag lunch, and had a short business meeting. Club President Helen Dawes thanked Esther Terrel and Mary Jean Wendel for hosting the meeting and then read the thought of the month “The distance doesn’t matter; only the first step is difficult.” Helen led in reciting the Club Creed and the Pledge to the flag.

the United States, is to remember that in the United States we educate ALL children and strive to help them achieve their maximum potential. The use of technology in the Metro Schools was explained by Dr. Weaver as she relayed how the schools must keep “up with the times” and teach students the ethical use of the Internet and the technology that is available to them. Times have changed since many of us were in school. School systems and teachers need to change. After the program Lions President Luke Hunt conducted the business meeting. In response to Dr. Weaver’s presentation a motion was made to give $200 each to Metro North, Sharp Creek, and Northfield to be used by the principals/teachers from each school who turned in a request for funds for special projects. A decision was made that the Lions Club would not sell fruit this year. For those who have ordered fruit in the past, please support your local FFA fruit sale. Plans were finalized for the Urbana Lions Club Nov. 6 all-you-caneat (dine-in only) Fish Fry from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The “Ambassadors for Christ” Sunday school class from the Urbana Yoke Parish will be helping serve to earn money that will go towards expenses for Lori Siders’ and Stacey Denton’s mission trip to Haiti in February 2011. Also helping serve will be members of the Urbana Street Light Committee. Tickets are 50 cents cheaper if purchased ahead of time. All of those helping will have tickets for sale. A notice was received from the North Manchester Lions Club about their Club’s pork loin dinner at the Main View on Nov. 14 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Supporting any Lions Club fundraiser is a great way to help these Clubs help others in our communities. The Club’s next meeting will be on Nov. 8, with a board meeting at 6 p.m. and the regu-

was the Lucky Lady. Jean Fleck will assist Helen Dawes for the November meeting. SHARP CREEK: Grandparents day is Nov. 5. Your grandchild has the details about the visitation schedule.

URBANA HEADSTONE: Work is continuing around the Urbana Headstone. Lion members Ron Anderson, Luke Hunt, Steve Gilbert, Marvin Mast, Max Chamberlain, and Michael Snell removed the rest of the old sidewalk and some of the extra stone. The next day Wendel and Scott Dawes brought in fill dirt and leveled the area. The seeding of the grass and the landscaping around the headstone will be completed in the spring. Thanks to the Lions members and a big thank you to Wendel and Scott Dawes for their donation to get this area beautified! URBANA LIONS CLUB met on Oct. 25 with Dr. Sandra W e a v e r , Superintendent of Metropolitan Schools, as the guest speaker. Dr. Weaver told the group a little about her background of growing up on a farm in Whitley County and graduating from Whitko High School where Lions President Luke Hunt was one of her teachers. She also told about her experience as a special education teacher in the Metro School system, leaving the education field for a time, and then her calling to go back to teaching, becoming a principal, getting her doctorate, and becoming a superintendent. She loves to learn and hopes to instill that desire to learn in the school administrators and teachers with the hope of passing this desire on to the children they teach. Dr. Weaver said that in all of her past experiences she has never worked in a school system where the kids and adults are so polite and thoughtful. She said that one thing she always points out to people is that when they read that students in China and Japan perform so much better than the students in

Bluebird reopens under new owners

BACK IN BUSINESS: The Bluebird CafĂŠ in Laketon reopened Oct. 9 following a change of ownership and various renovations. The business is open daily from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., including Sundays. Pictured are new owners (from left): Bryan Trager, Cyllan Batchelder, and Bobbi-Marie Giordano. (photo by Aaron Turner)

by Aaron Turner After a brief respite, one of Laketonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remaining businesses is back open - and even on Sundays. Three Wabash County residents - Bobbi-Marie Giordano, Cyllan Batchelder and Bryan Trager - purchased the Bluebird CafĂŠ, brought it up to current code, and opened the bustling business two weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have restaurant experience in different areas,â&#x20AC;? Giordano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to own a restaurant of our own. This is a dream come true.â&#x20AC;? Giordano and Batchelder previously worked at the Red Apple in nearby, and happened to meet then-owner of the Bluebird Marti Huffman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were talking, and we learned that she was selling the cafĂŠ,â&#x20AC;? Giordano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we talked some more, made the arrangements and spent a week here learning from her and she introduced us to a few of her regulars.â&#x20AC;? After a few kitchen renovations, during which time â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the regulars stopped by to see if they could help,â&#x20AC;? the Bluebird reopened on Oct. 9. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found out how important this place was to the community,â&#x20AC;? Giordano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great and supportive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neat is when Marti came in and said we were doing a good job.â&#x20AC;? The Bluebird CafĂŠ is now smoke free, and Giordano hopes that the atmosphere keeps customers coming back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re friendly and have a sense of humor,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a friendly atmosphere with good cooking. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not changing the menu too much, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have daily specials - one item off the menu and another specialty food thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.â&#x20AC;? The Bluebird CafĂŠ will also accept cash and credit cards, except American Express. During the course of the interview, the Bluebirdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new cash register arrived, which brought a tear to Giordanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little things like that, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you know the dream is really coming true.â&#x20AC;? The Bluebird CafĂŠ is open from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m. daily, and now on Sundays from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Squires no match for top-ranked Knights

MANCHESTER’S SKYLER HONEYCUTT (88) goes up for a pass against a Bishop Luers defender during the second round of sectional action Oct. 29. The Squires were unable to find the end zone all night as the top-ranked Knights won the contest 69-0. (photo by Eric Christiansen)

by Eric Christiansen Playing on the road, against defending state champions and the current topranked team in the state in Bishop Luers, the deck was stacked against the Manchester Squires on Oct. 29, and in the end, it was the Knights holding all the cards. The Knights scored early and often, enjoying a 49-0 halftime lead, before ending with a 69-0 defeat of the Squires. “We knew it would be very difficult to stop them on offense,” Manchester coach Brandon Baker said. “I thought that we had a good chance to move the ball in little chunks.”

The Squires did move the ball in chunks on the first possession of the game. They started on their own 20, and a Logan Brunn quarterback keeper for eight yards, followed by a three-yard plunge from Austin Flack gave them a first down on the 31 yard line. On second down, however, the Squires were called for an illegal procedure. Two plays later, Manchester was forced to punt from their own 29 yard line. The Knights’ Eric Sorg broke through the line, blocked Mazric Shambarger’s punt, and recovered the football in the end

zone to give Luers a 70 lead. “We were moving the ball on that first drive, Baker said. “That penalty put us in a third and long situation. That was something we knew we had to avoid. “We can’t imitate their speed in practice...nobody in the state can do that,” Baker added. “The best thing we could do is show them the plays they run, but there is no way we could prepare for their speed.” Things didn’t get better on the Squires’ next drive either. Starting on their own 20, Manchester faced a four and out, and another punt. Steve Kiermaier

returned the punt for a touchdown, but a block in the back against Luers brought the ball back to the Luers 46 yard line. Midway through the first quarter, the Knights’ offense took the field and showed why they are the topranked team in the state. On the first play from scrimmage, Luers quarterback James Knapke found Chance Young for a 16-yard strike, Ken Mullen followed with an eight-yard run, followed by seven- and four-yard runs from Kiermaier. Knapke hit Quyuan Mattox for an eightyard pass, and DeAngelo Fincher finished the drive with an eight-yard run and a three-yard touchdown run with 3:21 left in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead. On the Squires’ ensuing possession, they were forced to

punt, and Luers started on the Manchester 44. Three plays later, Kiermaier found the end zone on a 21-yard run to give the Knights a 21-0 lead, still in the first quarter. The Squires turned the ball over on downs on their next possession, and two minutes later, Jaylon Smith gave the Knights a 280 lead with a 10-yard touchdown run. Trae Bruce did his best to get things going for the Squires with a 25-yard kick-off return, followed by a 25-yard catch, and a 10-yard reception to put the ball on the Knights’ 45 yard line. Preston Penrod followed with an eightyard run, and Flack picked up the first down with a threeyard run. The drive was halted, however, after a one-yard run from Penrod, and three

straight incomplete passes to give the ball back to the Knights. Luers used an eightplay 67-yard drive to take a 35-0 lead on a nine-yard touchdown run from Mullen. After another four and out for the Squires, Mullen made it a 42-0 lead with 3:19 left in the half on a 70yard punt return. The Squires fumbled the kick-off, and Luers got one more shot at the end zone. Starting on the Squires’ 26 yard line, Knapke hit Nick Chapel for a 27-yard touchdown reception three plays later to give the Knights a 49-0 halftime lead. They added three more touchdowns in the second half for the 69-0 win. “We thought we could play with them,” Baker said. “We moved the ball ok until the penalty. When they blocked the punt for a touch-

down, it was all downhill from there.” One bright spot was Penrod, who rushed for 103 yards. “Penrod has done a good job all year, so has the offensive line,” Baker said. “That was one thing we thought we might be able to do is run against them. “I hoped we could score some points,” Baker added. “I knew they would put up a lot of points, but I thought we could score some too.” The Squires will lose 11 seniors this year. “They did a great job of working hard this season,” Baker said of his seniors. “We are going to miss the effort they brought, day in and day out.” Manchester finishes the season with a 47 record. Bishop Luers improves to 110.

Knights cap off successful cross county season

MEMBERS OF THE SOUTHWOOD CROSS COUNTRY TEAM celebrate their fourth place finish in sectionals on Oct. 23. The Knights’ performance earned them a regional berth, where they finished seventh out of 10 teams on Oct. 30. As a team the Knights narrowly missed advancing, but Chandler Sonafrank’s fifth place finish qualified him for semi-state for the third year in a row. (photo provided) Recently, the Southwood Knights cross country teams had strong showings at the 2010 sectional meet held at Indiana Wesleyan. Lisa Schmalzried closed out her season with a 22nd place finish in the girls’ race, matching her personal best time of 21:34. In the boys’ race, the Knights advanced to regional competi-

tion by virtue of their top five sectional finish. The top five team scores at sectional were Whitko, 45; Huntington North, 48; Eastbrook, 105; Southwood, 112; and Columbia City, 121. Leading the Knights was Chandler Sonafrank in fifth place with a season’s best time of 16:32 and Johnny Mendez in 10th in a personal best

time of 17:01. Rounding out the scoring for the Knights were: Samuel Woodling, 24th, in a personal best time of 17:36; Grant Keaffaber, 35th, in a personal best time of 18:01; Devin Dale, 38th, in a personal best time of 18:11; Dakota Oliver, 55th; and Steven Case, 74th. At the regional meet, the Knights

Cross Country team had a strong showing, finishing seventh out of 10 teams. The team just missed qualifying for the semi-state meet, which would have been the first time in school history. Team scores at regional were Homestead, 54; Huntington North, 75; Whitko, 80; South Adams, 120;

Eastbrook, 163; Norwell, 165; Southwood, 171; Bellmont, 176; Columbia City, 177; and New Haven, 186. C h a n d l e r Sonafrank led the Knights, qualifying for semi-state as an individual – for the third year in a row – with his fifth place finish. He ran a personal best time of 15:55, the second fastest time in school history and the fastest time anyone in the County has run in over 10 years. He accomplished this feat after battling back from mono at the beginning of the summer. Rounding out the scoring for the Knights were Johnny Mendez, 26th, in a personal best time of 16:53; Grant Keaffaber, 48th, in a personal best time of 17:43; Samuel Woodling, 49th, in 17:50; and Devin Dale, 52nd, in a personal best time of 17:55. Dakota Oliver also ran a personal best time finishing 72nd in 19:31.

Manchester College ranks 25th in D3hoops.com Preseason Poll The Manchester College men’s basketball team enters the 2010-11 season ranked 25th in the preseason poll released by D3hoops.com on Oct. 29. Manchester’s ranking marks the first time the Spartans have been nationally ranked since Dec. 12, 1999. The Spartans were also predicted to finish second in the HCAC league standings, as defending conference champions Anderson edged Manchester in voting points 97-85. Seventh-year head coach Brad Nadborne looks for a promising season for the 2010-11 men’s basketball program. Manchester is coming off a 17-10

record last year, and a fourth place finish in the conference standings with a 10-6 record. The Spartans look to use last year’s momentum and compete for a conference championship, while gaining exposure at the national level as their top six scorers return from last season. Returning is a group of upperclassmen that have continually improved year after year. This year’s senior class has created a 13win swing in the overall record since their freshman campaign. Last year’s success can be partially attributed to the strength in shooting by the entire team. Manchester ranked fifth in the nation in

field goal percentage at 49.7 percent and 15th in the country in three-point shooting at 39.5 percent. Manchester lost at Illinois Wesleyan on a last-second game winner by IWU in the regular season (IWU went on to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament) and the Spartans fell by one to NCAA Tournament qualifier Anderson University in the semi-finals of the HCAC Conference Tournament. Leading the way for Manchester is senior guard Mitch Schaefer, who led the team in scoring last year with an average of 11.3 points per game. Schaefer ranked 34th in the country in three-

point field goal percentage at 39.4 percent. Senior Tyler Henn shot 53 percent from the floor last year, and averaged 10 points and five rebounds per game, while junior guard Jordan Moss added nine points and four rebounds, with a team high 84 assists. Nathan Ferch was a 54 percent field goal shooter last year and averaged over four rebounds per game with his 8.1 ppg average, while fellow senior Tyler Delauder added eight points and 39 steals, and shot 47 percent from behind the arc. Jason Spindler, at 6’8”, led the team in blocked shots with 42, and averaged seven points and four rebounds per game,

while shooting 55 percent from the floor. Manchester will travel to New Mexico to face former Manchester College coach Steve Alford and the University of New Mexico Lobos in exhibition action on Nov. 6 at 10 p.m. Manchester opens their regular season Nov. 16 at home against Wheaton. Wheaton is just one of the nationally ranked teams on the Spartans’ schedule this year, as they are ranked 28th. Anderson is ranked 14th, Guilford sits in 19th place and Franklin College ranks in the Top 50 in the D3hoops.com Preseason Poll. Grace College enters the season ranked 17th in the NAIA (II) Preseason Poll.

VolleyKnights fall short of return trip to state finals

MEGHAN BINKERD sets the ball during the semi state finals against Fairfield. The VolleyKnights fell short in their attempt at a repeat appearance in the state finals against Muncie Burris. (photo courtesy of wabashcountysports.com)

by Brent Swan For the second consecutive year, the Southwood VolleyKnights were matched up against Fairfield during the IHSAA volleyball semi-state, held Oct. 30 at Bremen High School. This year, however, Southwood came in ranked lower in the coaches poll, but favored by many to win due to a higher strength of schedule coming into the match. From the beginning, Fairfield showed the Knights last year’s loss was still in their minds as they repeatedly capitalized on unforced errors and a few questionable calls from the officials before closing out the first back and forth set with a Lady Falcon victory, 25-22. Realizing they were going to be tested for the first time in some time, the Knights rallied back to take the second set 26-24 with a come from behind victory, at one point staring down game point at 24-23. The momentum had swung in Southwood’s favor after claiming the second set, but was quickly turned around as the Lady Falcons battled their way back from an 8-3 deficit to capture the third set 25-21. In the fourth and final set, Southwood kept the score close early, but appeared to lose focus as Fairfield went on a six-point rally to go up 10-4. The VolleyKnights were unable to knot up the score again, as they battled back but could only climb their way to within four at 2521. The VolleyKnights finished the season with a 32-6 record and two straight appearances in the IHSAA Class 2A Final Four.

They reported 18 commercial motor vehicle violations and 35 vehicle crashes were investigated. Lt. Matt Bilkey, district commander of the Indiana State Police Peru Post, would like to remind Hoosiers that the start of deer hunting season is upon us. The Indiana deer population will be on the move.

“Constantly monitor the roadside and be prepared to stop,” Bilkey said. “Deer are most active in the late evening and early morning hours. They can come onto the road with little warning. Motorists should realize it is sometimes better to hit the deer rather than swerving and hitting another vehicle.” Citizens are reminded Indiana law requires a police report on any crash that results in at least $1,000 in vehicle damage or a crash involving personal injury.

Instrument Petting Zoo visits Wabash County schools Leadership a

Members of the Wabash Unit of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, with the help of 50-60 volunteers, made the unique experience available for eight schools in Wabash County. (photo by Brent Swan) by Shaun Tilghman Members of the Wabash Unit of the Indianapolis S y m p h o n y Orchestra, along with 50-60 area volunteers, arranged an Instrument Petting Zoo that visited S o u t h w o o d Elementary School

fifth-graders on Oct. 28. All total, eight schools in Wabash County have taken or will take part in the petting zoo; including nine home-school students through WATCH (Wabash Area Teaching Children at Home). Instruments used

for the petting zoo were on loan from the Indianapolis S y m p h o n y O r c h e s t r a Association. Accompanying the instruments were members of the Wabash Symphony Unit and various members of the community who play

some of the instruments. Wabash Unit members Anne Garver Curless and Ann Ridenour were pivotal in arranging the experience for the youths in the area. “We want to introduce children to instruments at an early age in order to help them build a cultural appreciation,” said Ridenour. Curless added, “Students these days don’t have as much opportunity to experience music or interact with instruments as they used to. We’re hoping that somewhere down the line these experiences might inspire the children to join bands or pursue music.” Southwood music teacher Whitney Kingseed also played an important role in the success of the e x p e r i e n c e . Kingseed arranged for the students from

her three fifth-grade music classes to attend the petting zoo in 40-minute sessions. At the petting zoo there were four stations, each representing one of the families of instruments in the orchestra – string, woodwind, brass, and percussion families. The students were divided into four groups and rotated between the stations in 10-minute intervals. Kingseed emphasized that the petting zoo “gives children hands-on experience in trying out a variety of these instruments.” The Wabash Unit is one of only seven units of the I n d i a n a p o l i s Symphony Orchestra in the state. They have been providing this experience in Wabash County every two years for more than 10 years now.

hot topic at Day of Healing

Growing Christian leaders has been a big deal at the Wabash Friends Counseling Center for the past several years, so it’s no wonder that leadership plays a big part in the annual Day of Healing: A Personal Growth Conference, hosted by the counseling center for the 18th year on Nov. 6 at the Honeywell Center in downtown Wabash. The theme for this year’s conference is “Live Life to the Fullest” and the keynote speaker is Dr. Dan Allender, a bona fide Christian leader. In addition to being a dynamic, entertaining and thought-provoking speaker, he also is the founding president of Mars Hill Graduate School in Seattle, Wash., where he is a professor of counseling. In addition to delivering two keynote addresses, at the opening and closing general sessions in the Ford Theater, Allender will conduct a workshop entitled “Sabbath Leadership: Taking the Driven Out of Your Purposeful Life.” A part of the Church Leadership Track at the Day of Healing, “Sabbath Leadership” will be offered at 1:30 p.m. in the ballroom at the Charley Creek Inn, located one block east of the Honeywell Center. “We are too apt to worry and work when we are called to wonder and worship,” Allender said. “We are driven and empty rather than rested and responsive to the prompting of God. What we lose in the midst of our exhaustion is the capability to create and play. “Why would we settle for such a task master life when Jesus says his yoke is easy and his burden is light? We will focus on the issue of fear, envy and sabotage as the prime results of a life of labor rather than a model of Sabbath leadership,” he concluded. In his general sessions, Allender will deal with “Embracing Exile: Allowing Extremity to Transform Us” and “Rejoicing in the Return: Stumbling toward Joy.” “How do we embrace exile as part of the divine drama in which God is not merely shaping us, but using us for the proclamation of his story,” Allender said. “Joy is not being pain free; it is freedom to turn pain into a name that brings meaning to our sorrow.” Even part of Allender’s general sessions will benefit a leader by addressing how we face loss as a leader and then how we make the slow return to joy. Allender, who received his Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Michigan State University, is making his fifth appearance at the Day of Healing. He received his Masters of Divinity from Westminster Theological Seminary. He has taught at the graduate level for more than 20 years at Grace Theological Seminary, Colorado Christian University, Western Seminary and Mars Hill. He has authored or co-authored “Leading with a Limp,” “To Be Told,” “How Children Raise Parents,” “Encouragement: The Healing Path,” “The Key to Caring,” “The Wounded Heart: Hope for Adult Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse,” “Breaking the Idols of your Heart,” “The Cry of the Soul,” “Bold Love,” “Intimate Allies” and “Sabbath.” He travels and speaks extensively to present his unique perspective on sexual abuse recovery, love and forgiveness, worship, and other related topics. Allender and his wife, Rebecca, and their three children, Annie, Amanda and Andrew, live on Bainbridge Island. “Dan is so powerful in how he talks about ways we can change and heal,” said Scott Makin, director of the Counseling Center and Day of Healing organizer. “I just want as many people to hear him as possible. “I only know of a couple other people that have that sense of where we are in our struggles and how to deal with them so that we get to that genuine joy. Of course, I like it that he isn’t ‘churchy’ and doesn’t use a bunch of religious cliches on how we live (continued on page 32)

Leadership a hot topic...continued from page 31 out our Christian faith.” The other workshop in the Church Leadership Track is entitled “Leaders That Last” and will be led by Mark Malin, pastor of the O a k b r o o k Community Church, Kokomo. It will be at 10:15 a.m. in the Honeywell Center. Another leadership workshop will be led by one of America’s up-and-coming leaders, Bryan Gray, CEO of MediaSauce, Carmel. His morning workshop is entitled “Leadership in the Digital Age: How to Survive and Thrive in High Velocity and Uncertain Times.” Described as a “serial entrepreneur,” Gray has the unique ability to see emerging technologies, tie these with fundamental needs, and then build a team of passionate people to develop strategies and deliver them. Beginning with just one person in 2003,

MediaSauce has grown to 60 strong, with revenues up 3,76 percent over the first four years. Media Sauce is on Inc. Magazine’s list of fastest-growing, privately owned businesses in the nation and is the 15th fastest-growing media company in the United States. This is the second multi-million dollar business the 43-yearold has created. The other is Access Cash International, one of the largest distributors of ATMs in the U.S. And those aren’t Gray’s first forays into entrepreneurship. He started a baseball card shop when he was 13. He is a member of the 2001 Indianapolis Business Journal’s “40 under 40” list, a Neighborhood SelfE m p l o y m e n t Initiative board member, President’s Council member for the Indiana Sports Corporation, a Big Brother, and father of twin boys and hus-

band to wife, Kim. “Bryan will help you learn how to tell the unique story of your company (branding) in an engaging way both online and through the normal marketing means,” Makin said. Also, during the extended lunch break this year, a DVD workshop entitled “How to Build Trust as a Leader,” by Dr. Henry Cloud, will be shown from 11:35 to 1:25 p.m. in the Nixon room. Dr. John Townsend, last year’s keynote speaker, will show another DVD workshop in the Honeywell Room from 12:30 to 1:25 p.m. It is entitled “A Leader Who Confronts Successfully.” “Drs. Townsend and Cloud are nationally known speakers who have written more than 20 books,” Makin said. “They have years of experience working with top level executives.” Gray, Cloud and Townsend have been featured this past

year at the Counseling Center’s Leadership Luncheon Series, now in its third year. The series, conducted in the gymnasium at the Wabash Friends Church, will resume Dec. 2 with Dr. Blair Dowden, president of Huntington College, talking on “Leading Change.” On Jan. 6, Scott Livingston, an executive coach and founder of IntegratEI, Indianapolis, will deal with “The Leadership Life Cycle.” On Feb. 3, Scott Makin, director of the Wabash Friends Counseling Center, will lead a workshop on the #1 Best Seller on the NY Times booklist, “ D e l i v e r i n g Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose.” Then on March 3, there will be a dvd workshop by Dr. Henry Cloud on,” O v e r c o m i n g Obstacles and Winning.” Specially discounted books will be available for conferees, as

well as educational resource booths from a number of local and regional organizations and businesses, in the lobby of the Honeywell Center throughout the day. The Day of Healing has been approved by the National Board of Certified Counselors for 5.0 continuing education hours. Registration begins at 8 a.m. The Day of Healing has become the largest one-day, self-help conference in Indiana and last year was attended by more than 900 professionals and lay people from Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Missouri. For more information about lunch options or to register for the Day of Healing, visit the Counseling Center’s Website at wabashfriendscounseling.co m, call 260-563-8452 or 877-350-1658 or email rachel@wabashfriends.org.

LINCOLNVILLE HISTORY, shared by Linda Collins, and prepared for Homecoming Day at the Lincolnville Church on July 20, 1975, by Roger Rapp. Christian Swaffer bought one acre of ground in 1848 and set up a wagon shop. It was changed to a blacksmith shop run by two brothers, Job and Israel Holloway, on May 12, 1854. Jacob Combs started the first store in 1864. People began calling the area “Holloway Town” or “Holloway Corners”. The name was unofficial because the g o v e r n m e n t required a town to have a post office in order to be officially named. A post office was acquired on the site of Lincolnville’s General Store in 1865. After President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, the townspeople decided to officially name the town “Lincolnville” in honor of the late president. I.V. Straeghn, proprietor, recorded the first flat of land on June 24, 1876. The township trustee erected a brick school building in 1876 at a cost of $5,000. It consisted of three rooms. There were seven school teachers, three of which were high school teachers. The community formed an Amateur Dramatics Club and Lecture Association. A highlight of the program was a performance by the famous Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley in 1877. Lincolnville had three churches (Friends Church, Methodist Church, and the United Brethren Church) as well as smith shops, wagon shops, a barbershop, five physicians, a drug store, a grocery store, two milliner shops, two shoemakers, a shingle

Teen MOPS met Oct. 19

Teen MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) met Oct. 19 at First United Methodist Church. The meal was provided by Ann Emrick and Linda Snapp. The guest speakers were Michael and Cheryl Eaton, who presented information from the book, “The Five Love Languages,” by Gary Chapman. They discussed how each person is unique in the way that they need to give and receive love. The “love languages” include: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch. Recognizing the kinds of love languages that are important to significant people in our lives helps us to love them better. For the craft, the moms were given a book, “The Eensy Weensy Spider,” and assembled a simple spider art project they can do with their children to go with the book. The next meeting will be held on Nov. 1. Any persons interested in joining Teen MOPS may register at the LIFE Center or by calling 563-7275.
