The magazine, which has published for 12 years, recently sent out a notice to its customers saying that not enough of its distribution locations have reopened, and it will not publish its planned February issue.
“We’ll continue to hope our country can turn the corner on this terrible virus to allow enough poker rooms to reopen for us to be able to return to producing the quality product we insist on producing,” the notice reads.
On Wednesday, the state released its plan to more widely distribute COVID-19 vaccines and the following day, Wabash announced it would open its vaccination site next week.
Meanwhile, Wabash Countyâs COVID-19 spread rating remains in the orange or second-highest category. The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) dashboard was updated Wednesday, Jan. 6 with results as of 11:59 p.m. Monday, Jan. 4. The county metrics map is updated at noon Wednesdays and reflects data through the previous Sunday.
State releases vaccine plan
On Wednesday, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb and the ISDH announced that Hoosiers age 80 and older will be eligible to register for a free COVID-19 vaccine beginning Friday, Jan. 8.
It took several months of attempts during a global COVID-19 pandemic, but the Wabash Police Department (WPD) has finally filled the open probationary patrolman position.
On Friday, Jan. 1, WPD public information officer Matt A. Benson said Gareth L. Monroe was sworn in as a WPD probationary patrolman.
Benson said Mayor Scott Long swore in Monroe at the WPD headquarters.
On Thursday, Longâs assistant Bev Vanderpool said Monroe would be officially sworn in during the next Wabash City Council meeting, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 11. The meeting will be held over Zoom, and the Meeting ID is 841 063 6815 and the password is 46992.

I stayed up Tuesday to watch history in the making. Social Media was abuzz all night, besides we night owls, day time tweeps were up as well. We enjoyed corresponding with each other while watching as Ossoff and Warnock made history in Georgia, defeating the disgraced GOP incumbents, Perdue and Loeffler. Well, we won. I had my story.
As the noon hour came upon us; still happily celebrating for having won the House, Senate and Presidency, talk turned to the next event which was to be the historic Certification of President-Elect Joe Biden at the state Capitol.
