4-H Queen Pageant enters

60 YEAR TH

18 4-Hers vying for 2021 honor

By Mandy Mahan mmahan@thepaperofwabash.com Around this time 60 years ago, the first ever Miss Wabash County 4-H Fair queen, Shirley Anderson (Wright), was crowned. Since then, many local 4-H members have competed for the esteemed title.

Gaining a spot on the long list of queens is many little girls’ dream as they grow up in 4-H being handed ribbons, always accompanied by a smile, by the beautifully crowned young lady. It seems so glamorous and important, and being in the spotlight for a week, getting free fair food and getting your picture taken more than you can count seems like a little slice of heaven. Within the whirlwind of a week, other lessons are learned.

First, before the crown is even placed, contestants practice and learn how to interview, how to demonstrate poise and confidence, and how to converse properly – all skills that seem inherent, but with a little extra training can place one ahead of the rest. New friends are made and old friends reminisce during preparations to take the stage and wait for the nail-biting announcement of the queen and her court.

During the year long reign, the queen

City backs locating new planes at Grissom

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash City Council, on June 28, endorsed a letter to Acting Secretary of the Air Force John Roth asking him to consider Grissom Air Reserve Base as the home for the new KC46A Main Operating Base.

In May, the Department of the Air Force named Grissom and five other bases as potential locations for the KC-46A Pegasus aircraft.

Mayor Scott Long said he attended a recent meeting at Grissom on the subject.

“They’ve done a lot of work over the years on their fuel system at Grissom on how they deliver fuel to the aircraft in preparation to try to land a wing of these new tankers,” he said.

During the meeting, he was asked to prepare a letter of support from the City of Wabash, the City Council and himself.

“If Grissom is chosen, it will be 2025, second quarter, I believe, before any aircraft is stationed at this base,” Long continued.

“As leaders in the region,” the letter reads in part, we feel that Grissom’s unique defense assets alongside the region’s robust quality of life offerings make Grissom ARB the

the KC-46A Pegasus will be the fifth base to house the aircraft.

Site surveys at each base are being conducted this summer

and will be assessed against operational requirements, potential impacts to existing missions, housing, infrastructure

and manpower, according to an Air Force press release.

The base is expected to be selected later this fall.

A KC-46A Pegasus refuels an F-15E. U.S. Air Force photo best choice for basing the new tanker.”

It continued, “Our region is proud to serve as home to Grissom ARB and the servicemembers who lend the base its prestige. The talented members of the 434th Air Refueling Wing at Grissom have acquired several accolades in recognition of their diligence and success, such as the Air Force eReserve Command Maintenance Effectiveness Award and six Air Force Outstanding Unit awards. Central to the success of the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allied nations, the 434th ARW has engaged in U.S. military efforts, including Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.”

While the base’s merits are part of the decision making process, the letter notes, “a high quality of life for active duty servicemembers and their families” also is important.

“Therefore, we have taken inventory

of the many opportunities and advantages that our region has to offer,” the letter says.

“From housing, childcare, utility infrastructure, economic development and education, our community is well suited to embrace this project.”

The city’s close proximity to locations such as Indianapolis, South Bend, Fort Wayne and Lafayette added to that quality of life.

“We believe that Grissom ARB is the best location to serve as the next base for the KC-46A Main Operating Base, and we are thrilled to extend our support on behalf of the city,” the letter concluded.

Long noted that “we’ve got some folks from our community

who work there fulltime, active Air Force and several Reservists.”

Other sites in the running are Beale Air Foce Base, California; Joint Base Andrews-Naval Air Field Washington, Maryland; March Air Reserve Base, California; Niagara Falls Air Reserve Base, New York; and Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

New book takes look at history of Urbana

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A new book looking at the history of the town of Urbana is now available.

The book, “Remembering Urbana,” was passed out during the Urbana class reunion on June 26 at the Urbana Lions Club building.

“We had started it a year ago, but then they canceled the reunion,” said Shirley Anderson, a member of the committee who put the book together. “So, we kind of left it on

the back burner. We started the first of

March, when I met with my committee,

and we started gathering all this information to put in there.”

The book includes the history of the former school, the town, and of various activi-

ties that have taken place around the community.

The committee faced some challenges while putting the book together.

“We couldn’t get anybody to get us the information we were looking for, so we just had to search at the museum. We searched at the library. We searched through Ron Woodward, the historian in town,” Anderson said.

And while that was a lot of work, she admits it also was fun.

“We learned a lot from it,” she said.

“Searching into it, you learn things that you didn’t know existed here.”

Some of the information in the books came from columns in The Paper of Wabash County written by Mary Ann Mast.

“She had two great, big tubs,” Anderson

said. “They were so organized and so labled that we just went through and picked out what we wanted and put it all together.

“It was fun thing.”

The book has about 120 pages, and includes photos of all the graduating classes from Urbana High School.

Anyone interested in purchasing a book, which costs $25, may call 260-774-3509 or 260-774-3626.

950 Speakeasy Bistro to open in Lagro LAGRO — The 950 Speakeasy Bistro, renovated, owned and operated by family duo Justin and Darcie Gillespie is set to open to the public in early July. The twostory bar and eatery saw a complete renovation spanning more than a year after being halted during the pandemic.

“A lot of labor, love and attention to detail was invested into this place in Lagro,” Justin Gillespie said. “We’ve been anxious to open the doors to the public for a while now and it’s finally come to fruition after countless hours of work. We hope that this community enjoys every bit that the 950 Speakeasy Bistro has to offer.”

Located along the banks of the Wabash River and a trailhead to the Wabash River Trail, the 950 Speakeasy Bistro offers a variety of cocktails and dishes paying homage to the historic town of Lagro.

The 950 Speakeasy, located on the lower level of the eatery, boasts its handcrafted cocktails, “Lagro

Water,” “River Island Sunrise,” “Blue Star Highway,” and many others. Every signature 950 Speakeasy cocktail was carefully selected to be true to the prohibition era’s most popular liquors including gin and whiskey. The Bistro will offer specially selected menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner hours.

Neighboring the

950 Speakeasy Bistro is the recently restored Riparian House, an authentic Airbnb, which is also managed by Gillespie and his business partner Beverly VanHaafton. Both sites feature upcycled materials including refinished barn siding, outdoor fencing, thrifted vintage items and handmade furniture.

Queen contest learns what it’s like to have people watching her, specifically the younger generation, looking up at her and learning how to be a queen.

Alyssa McKillip, 2020 Miss Wabash County 4-H Fair, talked about her experience with The Paper of Wabash County.

“It has been a genuinely heartwarming experience,” she said.

“From preparing for the pageant, to the nerves on the big day, to the unexplainable amounts of joy and happiness that caused my crown to almost tumble from my head right from the beginning, this experience has taught me the value of perseverance, passion, leadership, and confidence.

“I absolutely loved being at the fair each and every day with my Court, Haylie Miller, Ashlyn Rody, Torina Runkel, and Elise Gottschalk. The endless cups of Urbana Fire Department ice cream consumed, pictures taken, stories

told, and laughs shared will be things I cherish forever.

Queen pageant King, and I also do not know the Queen of England. I grew in my confidence, my professionalism, my passion for 4-H, and my compassion.”

McKillip’s year as queen was unique, to say the least, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The COVID-19 pandemic was surely a very large obstacle facing all of us last year at this time,” she said. “When Wabash announced that we would have a fair, I believe that we all sighed with relief.

The fair was one of the cheerful times that we could experience coming out of a dark, difficult spring in addition to the grief after losing spring sports seasons, school years, and so much more. Initially, I was very worried that my reign would be extremely modified due to new restrictions that were set in place; however, I was overcome with joy to have documented so many incredible experiences. If anything, I wish that my reign could have

involved more interactions with the community and appearances at events that normally would have occurred, but I think that this experience in itself helped me to be flexible, gracious, and above all, an optimistic face in the midst of all of the chaos.”

Although challenged with a strange year, McKillip said that she has learned and grown a lot during her experience.

“Competing in the pageant for the years that I did opened my eyes, first and foremost, to the world of professionalism,” she said.

“As a young 16-yearold competing in the pageant for the first time, I had yet to experience a formal job or scholarship interview, and learning the skill was slightly nerve-racking. Over the years, I realized that interviews are truly a lot easier if you know your resumé, dress how you feel confident, converse comfortably with the interviewer, and

July 7, 2021

...continued from Page 5 above all, smile and enjoy it. That, right there, is the moral of the story. I realize that, with my dreams of entering the medical field as a Pediatric Oncologist, I will have many challenging interviews in my future, so I am thankful that this program has equipped me well. I am also thankful for the confidence I gained. As a contestant, you always admire the girl with the beautiful crown, but there is always a little doubt lingering about whether you are capable of having one yourself. Having had that doubt before, I am excited to replace any doubt with determination and hard work going forward in wherever life takes me.”

This year, McKillip’s reign will end as 18 contestants vie for the title of 2021 Miss Wabash County Fair Queen.

The pageant will be Wednesday, July 14, at the Honeywell Center in Wabash.

The Wabash County Fair Queen

will serve as the official host of the Wabash County Fair, July 16-23. The Queen will receive a scholarship which is provided by the past Wabash County Fair Queens. Members of the Queen’s court will receive scholarships provided by the Wabash County Extension Homemakers, Beacon Credit Union and the Wabash County Fair Board.

The contestants will be judged on the basis of the ability to converse, speaking ability, poise, person-

ality and ability to be an ambassador for the Wabash County Fair. The judging is divided into three phases of competition which include a personal interview, professional wear, overall impressions and formal wear. The interview and professional wear judging are closed to the public. The public pageant will conclude the judging with the formal wear phase. The final phase of the competition is the “onstage word,” in which each contestant will draw a piece

of paper with a word printed on it and answer with their personal definition of it.

The queen contest will be held in the Ford Theatre of the Honeywell Center with doors opening at 6:15 p.m. and the pageant beginning at 7 p.m. The pageant will be live streamed on the Wabash County Fair Queen Facebook Page and also on WebTV. The Wabash County 4-H Fair Queen Pageant is presented with support from The Honeywell Foundation,.

The following contestants will compete for this year: Makenlie Lambert, daughter of Chad and Devan Lambert will be a senior at Southwood High School in the fall. Her future plans include attending Baylor University to study pre-med and minor in Spanish with an overall goal of becoming a pediatric surgeon. She is a nine-year member of the Laketon Cloverleaves. She participated in photography.

Wabash City Council: Members must be present to cast vote

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Members of the Wabash City Council will no longer be able to participate in meetings virtually.

The council, on a unanimous vote June 28, ruled that members must be present in the council chambers to be counted as present and to be able to cast a vote.

Until now, members have been able to attend virtually through Zoom. That practice began as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Council members, perhaps on vacation or unable to attend because of sickness or work commitments, may still attend virtually, however, they will not be able to participate.

Earlier this year, the council approved an ordinance related to a state statute saying they may be able to attend 50 percent of the meetings virtually, and at least 50 percent of the members must be physically present to have a valid meeting.

Mayor Scott Long, at that time, said the council could revisit the matter to consider making it more stringent, perhaps requiring twothirds of the council present and requiring members to physically attend at least two-thirds of the meetings annually. (Local govern-

ment agencies may make changes to state statutes, but can be more restrictive.)

The council visited the matter on June 28 at the urging of member Terry Brewer.

Council member Bryan Dillon broached the idea of requiring members to physically attend meetings to be able to participate.

“We don’t have to have them electronically,” Long said of the meetings. “The initial thought was after the pandemic is over to do this for the public.”

City Attorney Doug Lehman said continuing to have the Zoom meetings for the public is acceptable. City officials who do not have a vote, such as the clerk-treasurer, city attorney and department heads, also could attend electronically if unable to attend in person.

“They’re not members of the council,” he said. “But (the measure can) still require that council members must be present and still require that you must have a quorum present in person before you can have a meeting.”

Brewer, who was on vacation and attending the meeting virtually, said he wants to be involved with the meetings when possible.

Wynter Dey Biehl, 26

Avid traveler

Loved animals

March 31, 1924 – June 28, 2021

July 28, 1994 – June 27, 2021

Esther Fern Rupel, age 97, died Monday, June 28, 2021 at Timbercrest Senior Living Community, North Manchester. She was born March 31, 1924, one of five daughters, to A. Byron and E. Edith (Rohrer) Rupel on the family farm near Walkerton, St. Joseph County. In her youth, Esther learned responsibility by gardening, doing chores, milking cows, and driving the team of horses. At age 12 she was baptized into the Pine Creek Church of the Brethren in Northern Indiana. When she left the farm, it had been in the family for one hundred years.

Esther graduated as salutatorian from Walkerton-Lincoln Township High School in 1943 and from Manchester College (now University) in 1947, majoring in home economics and minoring in art and in education.

She received vocational home economics certification from Ball State Teacher’s College (now University). She taught in LaGrange for nine years. In 1957 she received her Master of Science degree from Purdue University. She joined Purdue University’s faculty of the College of Health and Human Sciences, and retired after thirty-one years of teaching historical and cultural aspects of clothing and textiles. She was awarded the “Best Teacher Award” in the early years of her career. In 1971, she received her Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Minnesota. Her doctoral dissertation was titled “The Origin, Significance, and Demise of the Prescribed Dress Worn by Members of the Church of the Brethren.” As the leading authority on Brethren Dress, Dr. Rupel contributed entries to the Brethren Encyclopedia and enjoyed giving presentations on the subject.

Dr. Rupel was recognized as a 50-year member of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences and the Indiana Association of Family and Consumer Sciences and served both at the local and district levels. In 1998, she was recognized for 13 years of service as a member of the Manchester College Board of Trustees. Earlier, in 1975, she received the college’s prestigious Alumni Honor Award. Esther participated in international programs including a work camp in Germany and traveled, often with alumni and student groups, to Scandinavia, Russia, Morocco, Peru, Portugal, Spain, the Holy Land, China, Australia, New Zealand, Greece, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, the Panama Canal, and Schwarzenau, Germany, where she celebrated the 300th anniversary of the Church of the Brethren.

A lifetime member of the Church of the Brethren, Esther served locally as Women’s Fellowship president, song leader, choir member, Sunday school teacher, and church board chair. She served on the district church board and was a district moderator. She chaired the committee which planted the Christ Our Shepherd Church of the Brethren in Greenwood. She enjoyed helping with programming and activities as well as attending women’s camp at Camp Alexander Mack in Milford and was a member of the inaugural Camp Mack Festival committee. She served on the building committee for the Manchester Church of the Brethren and is recognized for her major role in the design of the church kitchen. On the national level for the Church of the Brethren, Esther served on Standing Committee, chaired the nominating committee, and served twice on the local arrangements committee. She designed and created numerous church banners, many of which were sold at Annual Conference to support the “Art for Hunger” cause.

A life-long learner and teacher, Esther valued research, problem-solving, and innovation in the methods she employed in her classroom as well as in her home life. Relying on family qualities of creativity, discipline, and persistence, she worked to further others’ education and well-being.

Her deep convictions for education motivated her to provide inspiration, advice, and encouragement to others, and even room and board for nieces and a nephew. Her practicality led her to develop a nationally appreciated mitten pattern that could be used both as a teaching instrument and as a useful gift or donation project.

In retirement, she continued her sense of responsibility for others’ education and well-being by directing her enjoyment of gardening and art to sell produce and flowers at the Farmer’s Market in North Manchester, with proceeds being donated to Heifer International and Manchester University student scholarships.

Esther is survived by her identical twin sister, Alice LaVern Rohrer, North Manchester; nieces Carol Smith, South Bend, Amy (James) Brumbaugh-Smith, North Manchester, Edith Rohrer, Warsaw, Thelma Rohrer, North Manchester; nephews Dirk (Elisa) Tuinstra, Pasco, Wash., Byron (Eloise) Smith, Bourbon, Stanley (Drema) Rohrer, Dayton, Ohio, Norman (Melinda) Rohrer, San Jose, Calif.; great nieces Molly (Jake) West, Pasco, Wash., Anna M. Smith, Somerville, Mass., Claire Brumbaugh-Smith, Portland, Ore.; great nephews Leon P. Smith, Bourbon, Mark A. (Jessica) Smith, Chicago, Ill., Alexander M. (Amanda) Liby, Indianapolis, Elijah G. Smith, North Manchester, Jacob Brumbaugh-Smith, Tigard, Ore., Scott (Kaitlin) Rohrer, Centerville, Ohio, Todd Rohrer, Dayton, Ohio, Nate (Dani) Rohrer, Middleton, Wisc., Luke Rohrer, San Diego, Calif., Jason (Margaret) Tuinstra, Vienna, Va., and Jared (Desiray) Tuinstra, Somerville, Mass.

Esther was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters Lois Margaret Tuinstra, Annabel Jane Rupel, F. Glea Smith, niece Janice Marie Smith, and nephew David Leroy Smith.

Services will be held Saturday, July 10 at the Manchester Church of the Brethren, North Manchester. Visitation will be at 10 a.m. with the service following at 11 a.m. The family requests all attendees wear masks.

The Paper of Wabash County

July 7, 2021

Meeting attendance high and say you can only attend three meetings per year virtually, I’d be fine with that,” he said, adding that he would have no problem if he was only able to watch virtually and not participate. “Like you said, (it is about) what’s best for our constituents. We want to make sure we’re giving them the voice their supposed to have. If the state’s allowing us to have even a portion of the meetings virtually and still be able to vote, while we’re not physically able to be in the building, is that the best for our constituents? Should we allow that? Even if it’s a minimal amount.

“I think 50 percent is a high number. I don’t think it’s necessary for any of us to be gone half the time.

We only have about 26 meetings a year, anyway. But if we say we can’t do any of them virtually, I’m OK with that, too.”

Lehman said that Brewer was correct.

“On the one hand, if you say you only have to be present in person, then you’re stressing the importance of the meeting and the fact that they have elected you to be here and conduct the business of the city,” the attorney said.

“But on the other hand, the point Terry is making is that there are some occasions that prevent you from being here, allowing you to participate by Zoom does provide your constituency with what they voted you to do, and that is to represent them. So you sort of have to weigh which one is the best way to allow for good representation.

“And like anything else, where the issue is going to really fall down, or come to, is either one of those can be abused. And if you abuse the attendance by virtual, even if you’re meeting the 50 percent or two-thirds, but just barely meeting those, an argument can be made that you’re real-

ly not participating as much as you should.

“But on the other hand, preventing somebody like Terry who is out on the road some, and can’t always be here in person, deprives you of some good people to represent you at the council. You, as council members, have to weigh where’s the sweet spot? Where’s the happy median.

What’s the decision that’s going to best provide the citizens of Wabash with good representation?”

Dillon, again, said he believed the council should do away with the electronic meetings.

...continued from Page 7 “I think we ought to go back to no electronic meetings until the times warrant it,” he said. “Yes, it’s a convenience factor, and it’s also needed

during pandemic times. But everything is laxed and I think we should be here. If you can’t be here because of vacation or work, that’s under-

stood. Everyone misses from time to time.

“I don’t think it should become a convenience factor attending a meeting if you don’t feel like

driving down to City Hall.”

However, he did say the meetings should still be streamed for the public.

City’s downtown named Cultural District Downtown Wabash was designated an Indiana Cultural District by the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC).

The designation, announced June 25, is a prestigious milestone in the Creative Community Pathway Program. According to the IAC, “an Indiana Cultural District is a well-recognized, labeled, mixed-use area with a unique, authentic art and cultural identity.” The IAC provides project funding for designated Indiana Cultural Districts, facilitates statewide collaboration through the Indiana Cultural District Consortium, and provides other capacity-building opportunities for cultural district leadership.

“The City of Wabash and its community partners collaborate to make Wabash the best city to raise a family and work,” City of Wabash Mayor Scott Long said. “This designation exemplifies the collaboration between organizations within Wabash to make our community a destination.

I’m proud to lead a community that strives to be better every day.”

Downtown Wabash is honored to be recognized as one of the newest Indiana Cultural Districts.

The Wabash Cultural District spans from river to rails between Paradise Spring Park and the Honeywell Center. To date, only 12 Cultural Districts have been designated across the state by the IAC. “Receiving this statewide designation from the Indiana Arts Commission is a tremendous honor.

Wabash joins a distinguished list of Indiana communities

that uplift arts and cultural assets,” Honeywell Arts & Entertainment CEO Tod Minnich said.

“Wabash is a remarkable city and the Cultural District represents how extraordinary our community is.”

In the application process beginning in 2020, Wabash was selected as a Spotlight Community within the Creative Community Pathway and was invited to apply for the Cultural District Consortium.

Wabash’s application nominated the Wabash Cultural District with an 85page dissertation.

The application also focused on the vaudeville roots of the community that began in the early 1900s and can be seen today at the recently renovated Eagles Theatre.

The Wabash Cultural District will continue to market the modern-day “Vaudeville Vibe” of arts and culture activities. Next steps

for the Wabash Cultural District will be determined by the local committee, led

by Wabash Marketplace.

Additional community partners include the City of Wabash, Honeywell Arts & Entertainment, Grow Wabash County, Visit Wabash County, Wabash County Museum and a panel of artists.

“Downtown Wabash is excited to join Arts Campus Fort Wayne as a Northeast Indiana Cultural District,” Wabash Marketplace Executive Director Andrea Zwiebel said.

“How exciting is it that of these newly designated Cultural Districts are cities located in Northeast Indiana? The accomplishments of both communities further prove that both Wabash and Allen Counties are excellent places for people to live, work and experience arts and culture.”

According to Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap, over 887,000 Hoosiers regularly struggle with food insecurity – 273,380 of whom are children. Founded in 2011, Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry has paid to process 1.8 million pounds of meat – providing over 7.5 million meals.

Partnering with 85 meat processors statewide, the organization gives approximately 250,000 pounds of meat annually to an average of 450 hunger relief agencies throughout Indiana.

In 2020, Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry sent Wabash County over 4 tons of meat, 1,100 pounds of which were provided to Wabash County United Fund to distribute. County nonprofit organizations which received meat from that latter amount included The ACCESS Youth Center, Lagro Community Center, Wabash First United Methodist Church, Manchester Early Learning Center, Laketon American Legion Post 402, and Wabash County Solid Waste Management District. Modoc’s Market has helped to provide extra storage for frozen meat when necessary. Wabash County Solid Waste Management District has been extremely helpful to provide pick-up and receiving services as well as interim freezer storage. The staff mem-

bers there have loaded vehicles with hundreds of frozen packages for nonprofit organizations— often in only a few days.

This year, Wabash County United Fund is helping to directly support 20 nonprofit agencies at work in our county and is also distributing state and federal grant funds to many others. On April 28, 2021, Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry, currently a United Fund partner agency, provided our county with one thousand pounds of sausage to be given directly to hungry residents or used in community dinners

which require no charge. This amount of meat provided meals for over 4,000 county residents in need.

United Fund contacted several county nonprofit organizations with offers of meat; those that requested and Continued on Page 20

Tickets are now on sale for the Local Beehive Trolley No.85 Tour.

Experience firsthand how two local bee farms began and learn what it takes to care for these buzzing honey-makers. Tasty treats made with local honey will also be served along the way. The tour will take place on Saturday, July 31 from 9 a.m.-noon, and will cost $25 per person.

The tour will begin at the Visit Wabash County Welcome Center in downtown Wabash and will include stops at two local sites: Bizzy Beez: Setting up at Bass & Bucks, Wabash locals Landon Topliff and Alix Winer will introduce you to their queen bee and demonstrate how they collect honey and transform it into numerous consumer products.

Wiled Miles Honey: Located near LaFontaine, The Meyer family will showcase the difference of a flow hive compared to a regular bee box hive and how they teach the youth about the importance of bees.

Visit Wabash County has also partnered with Modoc’s Market to provide freshly brewed honey lavender iced tea, as well as Wabash local and photographer Kaleigh Middelcoop who will be offering homemade honey lavender cookies and sweet honey granola, all made with local honey.

“I am especially excited about this tour because Wabash County has so many local honey farms that many aren’t aware of. We hear about the importance and necessity of pollination that bees provide but we typically don’t get to see that in action on a large scale,” said Jennifer Long-Dillon, tourism manager for Visit Wabash County. “I am also excited to offer another tour that is appropriate for kids (ages 10 and up) as well as adults.

SOMERSET NEWS: You may have noticed the different colored flags around town and wondered what is going on.

Comteck Fiber Optics, from Sweetser Telephone Company is in the process of installing a 5 G fiber optic cable to property owners here in Somerset and the Francis Slocum Estates. The first stage is underway.

They plan to bury fiber optic cable to every home and business. You may have already been contacted or soon will be, by a representative who is asking if you wish to have access to their service. There is no cost for the access and if you wish you can acquire 5G internet signal from them for $39.95 a month at a later date. Because

of a shortage of the cable, the actual date is uncertain now. I would suggest that you agree to the offer even if you do not wish to have internet access at this time. It may be more valuable if you wish to be connected years from now as you would not need to pay for the access.

GOOD READ: I had spent an hour in the bank with my Dad, as he had to transfer money. I couldn’t resist myself and asked. “Dad, why don’t we activate your internet banking?” “Why would I do that?” He asked.

“Well, then you won’t have to spend an hour here to do things like transfers.

“You can even do your shopping online.

Everything will be so easy!”

I was so excited about initiating him into the world of Net banking. He asked, “If I do that, I won’t have to step out of the house? “Yes, Yes”!

I said.

I told him how even grocery can be delivered at door now and how amazon delivers everything! His answer left me tonguetied.

He said “Since I entered this bank today, I have met four of my friends, I have chatted a while with the staff who know me

very well by now. You know I am alone…this is the company that I need. I like to get ready and come to the bank. I have enough time; it is the physical touch that I crave. Two years back I got sick, the store owner from whom I buy fruits, came to see me and sat by my bedside and cried. When your Mom fell down few days back while on her morning walk. Our local grocer saw her and immediately got his car to rush her home as he knows where I live. Would I have the ‘human’ touch if everything became online? Why would I want everything delivered to me and force me to interact with just my computer? I like to know the person that I’m dealing with and not just the ‘seller.’ It creates bond of Relationships. Does Amazon deliver all this as well?”

Technology isn’t life. Spend time with people. Not with devices.

CENTER FOR HISTORY FEATURES “LOCAL HEROES”: The North Manchester Center for History announces the opening of their newest exhibit, “Local Heroes”. This exhibit shares the stories of nearly two dozen men and women from our community who were willing to make the greatest sacrifice for our freedom. Dating back to the Civil War we have personal accounts of teachers, farmers, doctors, nurses – everyday people, that heard the call and left the safety of Wabash County to protect the people they loved. Numerous veterans of World War II are included in addition to Viet Nam and Desert Storm.

There are a number of uniforms on display from World War I through Viet Nam in addition to other memorabilia. Created in conjunction with this exhibit, we have a collection of “Letters Home” taken from the local papers during WWII. Included are eye witness accounts of December 7, 1941 from Pearl Harbor, prisoners of war chronicling their lives inside POW camps and life in general on the lines. This collection is available for sale in our gift shop, The Bee Hive.

The Center for History is open Tuesday – Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. The museum will be closed July 3.

Visit our website, www.northmanchestercenterforhistory.or g for more information about our pro-

PASTOR MACE on teaching our children: Our children are constantly learning. The question we must ask is what are they learning.

Parents are so busy today and distracted from raising their

kids. Children are left to be taught by schools, coaches, youth leaders, and social media. Parents need to be diligent and intentional in their teaching and training of their children. Parents need to set the example and lead their children in the way they should go. Unfortunately, in this culture, that is not happening.

Children need to be taught to honor and fear God. God says in His word that those who not only hear the word but do the commands will be blessed. Wisdom calls out for knowledge applied correctly to each situation. When we fear, we honor and show respect. We pay more attention and caution. A parent who loves God with

all their heart will lead their children to love the things of God. A parent who loves their children will teach them discipline and self-control.

Children need to be taught diligently.

Diligence calls for a careful consideration of truth and the persistent effort to mold the heart of a child.

Teaching and training should be the main work of the parent in the life of the child. Parents should not hand over the keys to the heart of their kids to anyone.

Schools, sports teams, and churches should support the training that is done in the home, not the other way around. Parents need to discern what their children are learning in various situations and deter-

mine whether that is appropriate or not.

Parents, don’t buy into the lie that someone else has the right to overthrow your authority.

Children need to learn to obey God’s word. Parents need to know the word and put the kids in an environment that teaches the truths of biblical doctrine. God has put before us life and death, good and evil. If we obey the words of God, we will have life abundantly.

Children are told in the word to obey and honor their parents in the Lord, for this is right and they will live. Our society has questioned the right of authority and their need to obey.

Rebellion and disobedience bring hardship and destruction.

Teach that respect and obedience is a good thing.

Children also need to learn the meaning of life. The Hebrew people made monuments to remember events that took place. We also need to set up monuments that bring to remembrance the past so when children see it, they will ask the reason for it. Parents need to help their kids learn and know how to go about this life. Our homes need a biblical theme that is a constant reminder of God and his authority in our lives. Children need to be taught God’s word in every aspect of their lives.

Parents need to

stop blaming schools, sports teams or coaches and churches when their kids don’t measure up to their expectations. Parents ultimately are responsible to teach and train their kids and then guide them in they way they should go. Parents need to be active in the learning of their children.
