Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Unger receives 2011 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship by Shaun Tilghman On March 31, Northfield High School senior Josh Unger received what many people would call ‘life-changing news’, as the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County named him this year’s recipient of the four-year, full tuition scholarship from Lilly Endowment, Inc. Josh, who was unaware he had been selected, entered the school library and was greeted by his parents, Lindy and Tammy Unger; C o m m u n i t y Foundation Program Officer Sarah Hawkins Moan; MSD Superintendent Sandra Weaver; NHS Principal David Hoffert; and NHS Guidance Counselor Caroline Schlemmer. “I’m absolutely overwhelmed, I probably don’t look like it but I am,” Josh said. “I just can’t believe it – it’s a big relief. The most exciting part is the relief from knowing I’m not going to have to worry about paying for much of my college.” Josh will receive full tuition to the Indiana college of his choice, along with an $800 yearly stipend for required books and equipment. He

currently attending medical school in Kentucky and a sister currently attending Franklin College, he knows how great an opportunity this is

financially for his family. “This is huge,” stated Tammy Unger. “I’m sure all of the applicants were very worthy and probably

needed this just as badly, but we are just so grateful for it – it’s going to be a huge blessing.” Lindy Unger added, “We’re very humbled

and proud; he’s worked really hard. We’ve tried to instill a good work ethic in our kids since they were young but as far (continued on page 6)

Education reforms give students a chance Dear editor, It is refreshing to get back to work and once again focus on the 2011 legislative agenda after the unprecedented hiatus from the minority party. Republicans have highlighted many crucial issues facing Hoosiers this session, most notably, education reform. Public education has been a source of considerable debate, garnering support from both sides of the aisle. The feedback from all Hoosiers – students, parents and teachers – has been paramount to shaping the legislation. The level of rhetoric regarding education reform over the past month has prohibited the actual impact of legislation such as House Bill (HB) 1002, the charter school bill, from being heard by all Hoosiers. HB 1002 was coauthored by Republican House Speaker Bosma, Rep. Behning, Rep. Noe and Democrat Rep. Mary Ann Sullivan. The purpose of this bill is to expand education opportunities for all Hoosier students. Charter schools are public schools. They are held to the same accountability measures and academic requirements as traditional public schools including ISTEP testing. A pub-

lic charter school must accept all students who apply, space allowing, regardless of socioeconomic background, race or special needs. Charter schools adhere to an open door policy. Wabash and Kosciusko counties have great, high quality teachers and schools. There is a possibility that we may never see a charter school, but there are other areas of the state that are waiting patiently to have a charter school be a solution to their educational woes. A parent who has a child in a school with a graduation rate between 35 percent and 40 percent year after year should be afforded the opportunity to apply and attend a charter school. Currently, over 3,500 students are on waiting lists to get into charter schools. These parents simply want their child to learn in an environment that would give them the best opportunity to succeed. Charter schools are not a silver bullet for education reform but should be a viable option for families. Many opponents to charter schools state they will take money away from traditional public schools. This is not true. There are

multiple variables that factor into the school funding formula. First, the number of students attending a school plays a role, for example if enrollment goes down; it costs less to run the school, so the school receives reduced funding. Most importantly, charter schools actually receive less funding to operate than a traditional public school because public schools are provided funding through per-pupil amount, facilities, and transportation, while charter schools only receive the perpupil amount. Supporting the growing number of charter schools will not cause traditional public schools to close, but rather fulfills the need of offering families additional opportunities to best meet their child’s needs My support for any legislation that reforms our education system will be contingent on whether the legislation provides an excellent educational foundation for future generations and provides quality education options for Hoosier families. Our focus should be on the kids, not where they attend school. Rep. Rebecca Kubacki (RSyracuse)

Scam artists use officer’s name in an attempt to collect money

The Wabash Police Department wants to warn citizens of another scam going through the community. The caller promised several thousand dollars to the victim through Publishers Clearing House. In order to get the money, the victim had to send $2,850 to an address in Madrid, Spain. The caller in the scam said he was with the FBI. The caller gave the name

of a Wabash Police Department officer to the victim as a reference. The suspect told her that this officer would call and verify this was valid. When the scammer called back, it showed the City of Wabash on caller ID (with the Police Department number, 260-563-1112). The victim, knowing this officer, thought that it was legitimate. They asked for the money to be sent Western Union.

These scam artists are very good in saying whatever they need to say to make you feel comfortable about sending the money. In this case, they used the Wabash Police Department phone number and officer’s name to deceive the victim. If you are called about anything in which you need to pay money to get a settlement, it is more than likely a scam. These people do everything

Limited Time ONLY!

over the phone, never face-to-face. If they ask you to send a money order Western Union out of the United States, it is probably a scam. In this case, the employee at Kroger’s tried to warn the victim, but the victim still sent the money. Please call the Wabash Police Department and talk with an officer in person if you have any doubts or questions.

Wabash Sheriff’s Department releases annual crackdown results

The Wabash Sheriff ’s Department recently announced that officers made two alcohol-related arrests during the “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.” March crackdown and two arrests for possession of marijuana. In all, agency officers dedicated 45 hours of overtime towards Indiana’s annual mobilization against impaired and dangerous driving. A total of 117 vehicles were stopped during the 17-day mobilization. Citations were also issued for various other violations, including speeding and left of center driving. “The goal of this campaign is prevention, not arrest,” said Sergeant Steve Hicks. “Our enforcement efforts may have increased over the last 17 days, but drivers should remember – our commitment to keeping roadways safe from impaired and dangerous driv-

ers is a year-round effort.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 103 crash fatalities on

St. Patrick’s Day in 2009. Of those crashes, 37 percent involved an impaired driver and/or motorcyclist with a blood alcohol content of .08 and higher.

The Wabash County and North Manchester chambers of commerce will be co-sponsoring the 10th Annual Honor Student Luncheon on April 21, 12 p.m., at the Honeywell Center, 275 W. Market St., Wabash. The purpose of this luncheon is to honor top graduating seniors from local high schools (North Manchester, N o r t h f i e l d , Southwood, Wabash and White’s), and to have an opportunity to encourage local talent to return to their home county for employment opportunities during the summers or after graduation from their college experience. This is just a small step in the effort to cultivate the “brain gain” in Indiana, building our future workforce. This event has been overwhelmingly successful over the past nine years.

The chambers of commerce hope to build on this opportunity to meet and talk to our area’s finest young men and women. Students and businesses will be paired according to area of vocational interest for maximum networking opportunity, as well as offering the students the chance to gain keen insights into real world aspects of that particular area of b u s i n e s s . Internships and summer employment opportunities will also be announced. Karen Eilts-Walter, owner of Make It Your Own Art Studio and Co-owner of Hanks Construction, will be the keynote speaker. As an encouragement to have our students return and utilize their talents in Wabash County, Walter will reflect on her time spent away from the Wabash area and her reasons

for returning to and establishing her business in her home community. M a n ch e s t e r College will once again be the luncheon’s Academic Sponsor. Executive Vice President David F. McFadden will serve as the event emcee. The 2011 America’s Best Colleges guide of U.S. News & World Report ranks Manchester College 18th in the Midwest among “Best Colleges” and eighth in its “Great Schools, Great Prices” ranking. MC has received the “Best College” ranking for 16 consecutive years. The Princeton Review college guide also consistently ranks Manchester as a “Best in the Midwest.” Supporters of the Honor Student Luncheon are encouraged to make reservations to attend and network with the students as well as sponsor stu-

dent lunches. Invitations were recently mailed to businesses and reservations are due by April 6. Registration is available at www.wabashchamber.org or you may contact either Chamber for more information; North Manchester at 260982-7644 or Wabash at 260-563-1168. Committee members for this joint project include CoChairs Trisha Metzger, Beacon Credit Union, and Lindsay Culver, Midwest Eye Consultants; Jan Roland, Wabash City Schools; Linda VanVoorhis, Edward Jones; Jeri K o r n e g a y , Manchester College; Tim McLaughlin, North Manchester Chamber of Commerce; and Kimberly Pinkerton and Beth Miller, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce.

Use of Lake Michigan fishing reports spells success The DNR’s weekly Lake Michigan fishing report website takes some of the intimidation factor from fishing the big lake. The rewards of keeping updated are worth an angler’s time. The website, http://www.in.gov/a pps/dnr/fishing/dnr _fishingreport, provides weekly reports on fishing conditions and success on Lake Michigan. The website also contains updates about fishing tributaries in northwest Indiana as well as many of the state’s other public waters. Weekly updates are also available on a voice fishing hotline, 219874-0009. The website recaps the previous week’s fishing activities and

success as well as general information about the Lake Michigan fishery. Data comes from creel surveys done at the various ports along Indiana’s shoreline, as well as from shore and stream anglers. “Indiana has historically had the earliest and some of the best spring fishing around Lake Michigan,” said Brian Breidert, DNR fisheries biologist for the area. “Spring fishing can change on a moment’s notice as can weather, so investigating conditions before you travel is key to success.” Each spring as Lake Michigan warms after ice-out, catches of coho salmon, brown trout and the occasional

lake whitefish ring in Indiana’s fishing season. As the waters continue to warm, forage fish such as alewife move into the shallow end of the lake, attracting chinook salmon, steelhead and lake trout. Breidert said providing updates helps anglers know when to fish and what baits and colors are most successful. The combination of easily available updated information, improving weather, and variety and size of fish make Indiana’s Lake Michigan area a prime spring fishing destination, even for those who have never been there before. “Spring is an awesome time to come to

Lake Michigan to try something new,” Breidert said. “Planning prior to the trip can reward anglers with big dividends and trophycaliber fishing opportunities. New anglers can become hooked for life after just one successful trip.” Adding fishing excitement in the area, the spring steelhead migration is underway on the St. Joseph River. A fishing voice hotline, 574-257-8477, (TIPS) is available through April, and again during summer into fall. Remember, 2010 fishing licenses expire March 31, now is the time to get your 2011 license and trout and salmon stamps. See indianaoutdoor.IN.gov.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

(Access Youth Center)

Sound Byte By Liz Hicks, Director

Go ahead, find a “time-out” chair

So the obvious topic for this week’s column is Spring Break; the subject of many discussions and countdowns for participants at AYC (and their teachers). It’s amazing how well people know calendar dates when Spring Break is getting close. Some students will be leaving for the week, others will be staying here; but all of them are happy for a change of pace, a split from their normal day - and they should be. “Jesus said, ‘Come off by yourselves; let’s take a break and get a little rest.’ For there was constant coming

and going.” Mark 6:30 Jesus knew the importance of taking a break; the Bible is full of examples meant to teach us the benefits of taking some time off. Let’s all take a moment this week to rest, to step back from our routine; whether it is for an hour, a day or a week. It’s amazing how a little relaxation can bring things into focus. AYC, 74 W. Canal St., Wabash, 260-5632070, is open for middle/high school only: Wednesday Teen Church, 7-8 p.m.; Friday Open Night, 710 p.m.; Saturday Open Night, 6-9 p.m. They are open for all ages: Monday-Friday, 3:30-4:30 p.m., when school is in session.

Wabash County Auditor Jane Ridgeway presented a tax abatement refund for Bulldog Battery in the amount of $20,532.66. The company was approved for the city tax abatement, but did not file the necessary paperwork on time. The Wabash City Council passed a resolution to reinstate the refund. Ridgeway then presented a claim voucher for the Novae Corporation grant that was to be in the amount of $397,784.31. However, the check from the Auditor of the State would only be in the amount of $367,154.91. The commissioners agreed to wait to send the funds

The case was adopted by the U.S. Marshals Service Great Lakes Task Force in the Northern District of Indiana.

Sweeny, 24, was taken to the Wabash County Jail based upon the felony charges in Wabash County. This is yet another demonstration of teamwork and of law enforcement officers’ year-round commitment to protecting the children of our community from sex offenders. They will continue to dedicate resources in order to aggressively pursue and arrest these fugitives.

himself.” According to Josh, his parents have always been very supportive of everything he does, and there have been many other people helping him along the way as well. One person he mentioned was John Higgins, his CAD teacher, because the two grants Josh wrote in high school – one for a robotics club for the elementary schools and another to get an airplane for the school – were part of his class. Josh has also been an active member of

many clubs and teams at Northfield, including the golf team the yearbook staff. He was chosen by the C o m m u n i t y Foundation from a pool of 31 applicants, who were evaluated based on academic perfor mance, extracurricular activities, community service, references, and an interview. “This is an award of excellence and Josh portrays that excellence,” explained David Hoffert, “he portrays a lot of outside-the-box thinking. When you look at

somebody with a lot of character I think of Josh. He even did some work babysitting my son a couple of nights after school and I couldn’t think of a better role model for my son. “I think it shows the quality of students coming from Northfield – we know that we’re going to have a lot of very successful students that walk through our doors. Again, Josh is definitely one of the ‘cream of the crop’, but we’re very proud of our academic excellence and we’re

The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County has now awarded 30 Lilly Scholarships, but due to changes in Lilly’s community scholarship program this was the first year Wabash County was limited to one nominee. “Basically what Lilly did was restructure their program so that each county’s population now determines how many Lilly scholars they are able to have,” said Sarah Hawkins Moan. “We used to be able to give two each year, but now we are able to give just one. We’re still very grateful for the one we are able to give because it definitely helps out that student. “Josh is truly an excellent student and community leader. We are proud to have him as Wabash County’s Lilly scholar, and we know he will go far.”

Curt Campbell Now is the time to control crabgrass Take a look at your lawn and do you see all those brown spots in your lawn? That’s because last year’s crabgrass was out of control. I wrote an article last August explaining why it was so bad last year and to wait until this spring to control. Crabgrass is a sum-

mer annual, which means it lives for just one year. It can become a problem quickly because it is able to grow vigorously in hot, dry conditions, which is exactly what we had last summer. Before dying in the fall, a single weed can distribute thousands of seeds, which will be ready to germinate this spring. We must keep those thou-

sands of seeds from germinating and growing this spring. In order to do that we need to use a preemergence herbicide before the seeds germinate. Crabgrass germinates when the soil temperatures are 60 degrees Fahrenheit for three to five days at 1/4” soil level. In Wabash County that means on an average year that date is April 26–29, but the pre-emergence herbicide should be applied at least two weeks before this date. We should apply it before April 12 -15. Because of the severity of our problem from last year you may want to apply a second application in late May or early June to control any late germinating seeds. If you make a second application apply a three-quarter or half-rate at the normal early spring application and apply a second application using half the rate. Take a look at the bag and make sure

you are applying one of the following herbicides: TurBenefin, O x a d i a z o n , Benefin/Trifluralin, Pendimethalin, Dithiopyr, or Prodiamine. You will find this information on the front of the bag. I have found that most pre-emergence herbicides are combined with fertilizers. Since fertilization should be minimized in the spring, purchase products with most of the nitrogen in slow release forms such as methylene ureas or sulfur or polymercoated ureas. Avoid products with mostly quick release nitrogen such as urea or ammonical nitrogen. The fertilizer information is on the back of the bag. A few tips when applying: - To be most effective, these products need to be watered-in after application. Watch the weather and apply just before it rains. - Remember you will not be able to reseed your lawn

while applying a preemergence herbicide. A pre-emergence herbicide does not know the difference between grass seed and crabgrass seed. If your lawn has a lot of tall fescue or perennial ryegrass it will probably need to be reseeded in the fall. If you have bluegrass, which spreads from rhizomes it will more than likely fill in those thin areas. If areas are thinned by crabgrass, seed Kentucky bluegrass or tall fescue into lawns rather than perennial ryegrass to reduce future crabgrass pressure in the summer. Seeding between Aug. 15 and Sept. 15 is optimum seeding time for our area. - Refer to the label for specific instructions of each product. The most effective way to control crabgrass for the long haul is to create a dense, healthy turf that will prevent crabgrass from getting established.

Here are some ways: - Mow at 3 to 3 1/2 inches. Mowing below this range will increase crabgrass populations. - Mow frequently so as not to remove more than 1/3 of the leaf blade at one time. This may mean mowing twice weekly in spring and every other week in summer. - Proper fertilization primarily in the fall. Consider applying 1 lb. N/1000 in September, October and November to maximize recovery on very thin turf. Using a product with some slow and some quick-release nitrogen for the application in September. Applications in October and November can be quick-release nitrogen only. - Irrigate deeply and infrequently. Daily, light irrigations promote shallow rooting, nondrought hardy turf, and encourage crabgrass. Water to wet the soil to the depth of rooting, and then

do not water again until you see the first sign of drought stress. (When drought stressed, turf will become bluish gray and footprints will remain in the turf after it is walked on.) In closing, be aware that crabgrass has tremendous survival reproductive capabilities. Because of this, it is unrealistic to expect a crabgrass free lawn. You cannot eradicate crabgrass (or any other pest for that matter); a few crabgrass plants in your lawn are acceptable. Besides I don’t want you having a better-looking lawn than your Purdue Extension Educator. Should you have additional questions about lawns or other horticultural questions, feel free to contact the Purdue Extension, located on the second floor of the Wabash County Courthouse; call 260563-0661 ext. 246; or email cecampbe@purdue.edu.

you work, lung cancer and heart problems shouldn’t come with the job. With every breath in a bar or restaurant that allows smoking, workers are exposed to over 7,000 chemicals that cause lung cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. That’s why Indiana needs a smoke-free law that protects all workers. The smoke-free bill passed the House at the end of January, and as you may know, the bill exempts bars, gaming facilities, veterans’ homes and fraternal organizations. This means thousands of workers in Indiana would still have to face working in a smoke-filled envi-

ronment every day. All states with comprehensive smokefree laws protect bar workers. The inclusion of bars in smokefree laws would protect many Hoosier workers and patrons. Please ask Senator Head and Banks to include bars in the smoke-free bill. It is time to have our lawmakers focus their attention on protecting everyone from the deadly impact of secondhand smoke. Let’s make sure our lawmakers get the message that we want them to take up the smoke-free bill, strengthen it, and pass it. We can’t just wait another year for

Senate Democrats launch redistricting website

Senate Democrats have launched a redistricting website to encourage constituent participation in the redrawing of legislative and congressional district maps. The site focuses on public access and visitor interactivity. Senate Democrats

s.IN.gov/redistricting.htm, constituents can learn about the redistricting process and share their thoughts and opinions on how new maps could affect their representation. The new site also provides access to interactive Census maps, Indiana’s 2010 Census data and the state’s current district maps. The state has also established three locations where the public can access map-making software and Census data to draw their own district maps. On the campuses of Indiana U n i v e r s i t y Bloomington, Indiana U n ive r s i t y - S o u t h Bend and Indiana U n ive r s i t y - P u rd u e U n i v e r s i t y Indianapolis, mem-

bers of the public can design their own proposals to share with legislators. State Senator Tim Lanane (D-Anderson), the Democrat lead in the redistricting effort, says public input is vital in informing legislators how districts can best serve Hoosiers’ needs. “Every resident of Indiana is affected by state and federal laws, and they deserve to have representatives in Indianapolis and Washington who truly represent their interests and their community,” Sen. Lanane said. “Local perspective is what will make this the most effective process in protecting voter interests.” Each of the four caucuses in the

General Assembly will review the data and propose new district maps to account for population shifts within the state. After the proposed maps are made public, it will be imperative for Hoosiers to review the proposals and provide input on how the new maps could affect voters’ rights and access. Maps drawn by this General Assembly will play a part in constituent representation for the next decade. As this process moves forward, Senate Democrats hope to encourage public input to promote: - Preservation of neighborhoods - Preservation of communities of interest

Protection of minority voters - Compactness to ensure connection between elected officials and their constituents - Simply shaped districts Senate Democrat Leader Vi Simpson (D-Ellettsville) says the caucus will also continue to push for an independent commission to redraw district maps. This year, the measure contained within Senate Bill 468 did not receive a hearing in the Republican-controlled Senate Elections Committee. “It is disappointing that Indiana has not joined so many other states to allow an independent group to develop proposals,” Sen. Simpson said. “It

would be a great benefit for voters if the maps were drawn with their best interests in mind, instead of protection of incumbent officials. Competitive races where voters have a real choice of candidates are best for the democratic process.” Currently 21 U.S. states have a redistricting commission that draws a plan for new district maps, advises the legislature on how to draw a plan or acts as a backup if the legislature fails to draw a plan for new maps.

New dentist strives to provide same high-quality care as predecessor John Conner, D.D.S., excited to serve patients of Robert Beckett Jr., D.D.S., P.C. by Shaun Tilghman Dr. John Conner believes he has found a home in Wabash as he continues to function as the replacement for Dr. Robert Beckett Jr., who is retiring. Conner began working in Beckett’s office on Feb. 21, with the original plan involving a transition phase during which the two would work together before the former took over full-time. “Dr. Beckett and I had been talking about a transition since I met him about four months before I started here,” said Conner. “He wanted to retire so we planned a transition phase when we would work together for a while, but he had some health issues that came up so on [Feb. 21] he asked me to step in while he was

away. “From then until March 17 I was working on my own, and his health conditions just haven’t improved so we’re not sure that the transition will happen in the same way. We were going to try to work side-by-side as well as him introducing me to patients as they came for their regular check-ups. Right now I think it will just be me taking over.” According to Conner, he has been in contact with Beckett and his wife, who have both been helping him and introducing him to as many people as possible. Conner is originally from Fort Wayne and still has a lot of family there. He was making the drive from Fort Wayne during the transition but now he is in the process of moving to Wabash. “I had never been to Wabash,” Conner explained, “but in meeting Dr. Beckett, and seeing the community, I could tell

the people are closeknit and that’s something I really like. Family is important and I wanted to stay close, but Wabash seems to have a lot of great people and seems like a great place for me to start working.” Conner attended Indiana University for both college and medical school. After graduating from IU he undertook an extra year of training in a general practice residency in Fresno, Calif. At that point he spent the next eight months filling in at different clinics, emergency clinics, and offices, while “trying to find a home” where he’d like to practice. In taking over for Beckett, Conner will continue to offer all general dentistry, including: crowns, bridges, dentures, partials, fillings, and extractions. He also stated that he has hopes of expanding on those services and possibly offering root canals in the future. “One of the main things I wanted to do

with my experience (general practice residency) was treat people in the operating room,” he added. “General dentistry in the operating room deals with people that need to be put to sleep for different reasons – mental handicaps, cerebral palsy, behavioral issues, etc. That’s something that possibly in the future I hope to bring to Wabash, but there are still a lot of logistics that go along with that.” Right now, Conner has no plans to move from the current location, 1146 N. Cass St., Suite C, but did mention the possibility of some updates to the office. One thing that will not be changing though, is the staff. “There is a terrific staff here and they’re all staying,” Conner said. “The staff has been an extreme support system already because they know all the patients and the patients are very comfortable seeing familiar faces. The main thing is to

JOHN CONNER, D.D.S., poses in front of the office, located at 1146 N. Cass St., Suite C, Wabash, where he will be practicing in place of Dr. Robert Beckett Jr., who is retiring. Dr. Conner came to the office in late February and continues to offer the same services as Beckett, with hopes of possibly expanding them in the future. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) ensure that patients are still receiving the highest quality treatment while I continue the process of getting into a groove with the staff and the surroundings. “I’m hoping to continue serving Dr. Beckett’s patients and to maintain the quality of service he has been providing

since [the 1980s]. I’ve met a lot of fantastic people that have expressed how much Dr. Beckett had done for them – most of them have seen him since they were little – and I’m just really excited to enter into their story and hopefully gain their trust the same way he did. As much as he cared

about his patients, that’s just something I want to continue.” Conner will continue to operate during the same office hours as his predecessor: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact the office at 563-4805.

Manchester College taps D.C. school reformer Michelle Rhee as 2010 Innovator of the Year ship, D.C. fourth- and eighth-graders improved from posting the nation’s worst inner-city test scores to leading the nation in gains in reading and math. Enrollment decline reversed. Her method fueled a national debate about teacher effectiveness and accountability. Rhee closed two dozen schools with low enrollment; replaced more than half the district’s 4,200 teachers; cut a third of central office administration; linked teacher evaluations to stu-

dents’ classroom performance and test scores; and negotiated a teacher union contract that eliminated tenure for one year and gave individual teachers $20,000 to $30,000 bonuses for “significant student achievement.” District educators and the Washington Teachers Union said they had no voice in the swift changes and that Rhee was heavy on punishment and light on support, especially financial support. Her “approval rating” in the district fell amid cries of

union-busting and the “dubious” value of standardized test scores. In an essay for Newsweek, Rhee lamented: “I did a particularly bad job letting the many good teachers know that I considered them to be the most important part of the equation...as a result, my comments about ineffective teachers were often perceived as an attack on all teachers.” Rhee resigned after Mayor Adrian Fenty – who hired her to reform D.C. schools – lost his pri-

Tough-talking Michelle Rhee, the former chancellor of District of Columbia Public Schools, is M a n c h e s t e r College’s 2010 Innovator of the Year. Rhee’s high-powered commitment to change as CEO of the 45,000-student, 4,000-teacher D.C. school system has brought praise and scorn but you can’t deny her effectiveness, says Jim Falkiner, the Mark E. Johnston Professor of Entrepreneurship at the College. “As chancellor of D.C. Schools, Ms. Rhee broke down barriers to improved student performance while demonstrating that the most intractable problems of inner city public education can be addressed with energy and dispatch,” Falkiner said. “Her first-of-its-kind union contract and merit pay agreement with the district’s teachers raised salaries most dramatically for those teachers who perform at higher levels.” Under her leader-

Hensley signs with St. Francis

KALEIGH HENSLEY (front row, center), a Wabash High School senior, recently signed her letter of intent with the University of St. Francis, Fort Wayne, where she will continue her basketball career at the collegiate level. Pictured with Hensley are (front row, from left): her father, Ron Hensley; her mother, Marcia Hensley; back row, Jason Callahan, WHS principal; Matt Stone, WHS athletic director; Scott Bumgardner, WHS girls’ basketball coach; Gary Andrews, USF women’s basketball head coach; and Tom Rehm, USF women’s basketball assistant coach.

Wabash standout hopes to “spark” Cougars by Shaun Tilghman Wabash High School senior Kaleigh Hensley recently announced she would be continuing her basketball career at the college level and signed with the University of St. Francis, Fort Wayne. Hensley was the inaugural The Paper Player of the Year this year and as Wabash County’s all-time leading scorer her talents have been much sought after. “We’ve really been going after her hard so we’re not only excited but we’re also relieved to get her,” said University of St. Francis women’s bas-

ketball coach Gary Andrews. “I think she has a great all-around game – she can handle the ball, she can score, she plays good defense – and that’s what we’re looking forward to her bringing to St. Francis. Also, she’s a winner, she comes from a great program, and she works hard.” In her senior season, Hensley not only led the Apaches and Wabash County in scoring, but she also earned the Indiana state scoring title with 28.5 ppg. She concluded her high school career holding the Wabash County record for points in a season and points in a career, while also leading the state in steals.

“I’m excited,” Hensley stated. “I’m ready to step up to the next level and their type of play is what I prefer and what I like to do. I’m going to keep lifting and working on my conditioning this summer, then come in and give it my all – hopefully give them a little spark being a newcomer. “The campus is really nice, it’s a small school, and I like the teammates I’ll have, so it seems like the perfect fit for me. I definitely didn’t want to go too far away from home, but 45 minutes to an hour is pretty much perfect.” Andrews added, “I think she wanted to go somewhere that she could play right away and we graduat-

ed four really good seniors so she’ll have a good opportunity. I’ve told her that we don’t promise anybody they’ll start, but I definitely know she’s going to have a chance to play quite a bit next year; a lot of it depends on how hard she works this summer as well. “I think we’ll be good for her because we’re really going to try to help her improve – making her a better shooter, a better ball-handler, and a better defensive player. She’s a really good player and she’s good at those things but we want to help make her great at those things.” St. Francis finished last season 25-10 after exiting the NAIA Division II

Tournament in the first round. Now that they have four seniors to replace, it could be a great opportunity for a newcomer to get an early look. Hensley is used to a high caliber of play and Wabash girls’ basketball coach Scott Bumgardner believes she can step in nicely at St. Francis. “I think [the St. Francis] coaching staff has shown a real interest and understands that it’s important for Kaleigh to fit in,” Bumgardner explained. “They play a lot of the same style we do here, they really push the basketball and are very guardoriented, so Kaleigh should fit into that program. I think their coach does an outstanding job of preaching defense, work ethic, and individual growth, and it’s going to be good for Kaleigh to play under Gary because he does an outstanding job.” Andrews also commented that Hensley would be looked at mainly for the 2 or 3 position, shooting guard and small forward, respectively. “Our 2s and 3s are pretty similar,” he continued, “we’ve had years where we play four guards so it kind of depends on what our strengths are going to be next year, but I would think she’ll play 2 and 3 with maybe a little point guard. Bumgardner added, “I think it fits in better for her because here she was the main focus and had to have the ball in her hands a great deal, so there she’ll be able to move off of some screens and really get out in transition. It doesn’t matter what level, if they get her in the open court she’s going

to be successful; when she’s in the open court she’s among the best finishers I’ve ever coached. “In high school basketball she pretty much got to the hoop whenever she wanted to; I think as part of this next step she’s really going to have to work on jump shots and the mid-range game because when getting to the hoop now there will be 6’2”

centers waiting on her. She’s still going to be able to beat anybody off the dribble but now she’ll need to use her mid-range game rather than depending on always getting to the basket.” While attending the University of St. Francis, Hensley plans to study physical education and someday hopes to become an Athletic Director.

Study reveals potential Demand for U.S. soy leads to 76.6 million U.S. acres of soybeans benefits to free range eggs U.S. farmers have taken notice of the growth in global demand for U.S. soybeans maintained in part by the United Soybean Board (USB) and the soybean checkoff. According to the 2011 P r o s p e c t i v e Plantings report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. farmers will plant 76.6 million acres of soybeans this year. USDA estimates this year’s soybean crop may be 1 percent lower than last year. But if the numbers hold, the 2011 soybean crop could be the third-largest planted area on record. “The checkoff has done a good job of keeping U.S. soybeans competitive in the market,” said Jason Bean, soybean farmer from Holcomb, Mo., and chair of the USB production research program. “Checkoff dollars have provid-

ed research to ensure a good-quality U.S. soybean. If we have a desirable product, we’ll be able to sustain and increase our demand.” Through work to increase market access and maintain demand for U.S. soy abroad, the checkoff helped U.S. soybean farmers post recordhigh exports for a fourth straight year last year. Domestically, the checkoff focuses on maintaining and creating demand by supporting U.S animal agriculture as well as funding production research to protect and increase U.S. soybean yields and research on new uses for soybeans. “The checkoff ’s production research program has done a good job supporting research to increase yields for U.S. farmers so that we’re improving their opportunity for profit growing soy-

beans,” adds Bean. “Another thing we’ve worked on with production research is high-oleic soybeans. That’s a very desirable soybean, and we’ve done a lot of work and put a lot of money into research to develop that soybean.” High-oleic soybeans produce soybean oil with traits that are more desirable to both the food industry and consumers. With lower saturated fats and no trans fats in the oil they produce, higholeic varieties could help soybean oil win back the market share it has lost to other vegetable oils. To help increase acreage, U.S. soybean farmers can anticipate incentives to plant high-oleic soybeans. USDA’s final 2010 estimates concluded that U.S. farmers planted 77.4 million acres of soybeans last year and harvested 76.6 million

Battle of the Books winners announced The Wabash Carnegie Public Library would like to congratulate the winners of the 2011 Battle of the Books. S o u t h w o o d Elementary triumphed in the fourth and fifth grade competition. Southwood also won the middle school competition in their sixth victory. The elementary competition for fourth and fifth grade students took place at Heartland Career Center on March 21 and 23. The middle school competition, consisting

of students from sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, took place at the library on March 22. Sharp Creek, W. C. Mills, Emmanuel C h r i s t i a n , L a F o n t a i n e , Southwood, Metro North, and St. Bernard Catholic School students matched wits in the elementary competition. Southwood, Wabash, Northfield, St. Bernard’s Catholic School and Emmanuel Christian School participated in the middle school battle. The Youth

Services staff of the Wabash Carnegie Public Library selected the titles and purchased the books for the competition. Elementary teams read eight books: Roscoe Riley Rules: Never Glue Your Friends to Chairs, by Katherine Applegate; How to Train Your Dragon, by Cressida Cowell; The Lemonade War, by Jaqueline Davies; Running Out of Time, by Margaret Peterson Haddix; Sideways Stories from Wayside School, by Louis Sachar; Who Was

Harry Houdini?, by Tui T. Sutherland; Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief, by Wendelin Van Draanen; and The Castle in the Attic, by Elizabeth Winthrop. They read 1,218 pages. Middle school competitors read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne; Escape! The Story of the Great Houdini, by Sid Fleischman; War Horse, by Michael Morpurgo; Steel Trap: The Challenge, by Ridley Pearson; The White Giraffe, by Lauren St. John; The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien; and Flipped, by Wendelin Van Draanen. The middle school teams read 1,621 pages. The tournament is held in a roundrobin format. Teams of 5-10 members answer questions designed to indicate knowledge of char-

acters, plot, and setting from each of the assigned books. A representative from the library reads aloud questions and acts as a judge. Teams have 60 seconds to formulate an answer. The judge then determines whether the answer may be accepted. The team with the most winning matches is the victor. Each team receives a Certificate of Participation, a medal, and a candy bar. The teams are also provided with an ice cream party, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Homer Miller. The winning teams from each age group are awarded a pizza party, courtesy of the library. Their school name is engraved on the traveling trophy, to be kept at the winner’s school until the 2012 contest.

ECS students travel to State House “A different kind of real estate company” SEMENT!

THREEONS ROOM SEAS

WALK OUT BA

EMMANUEL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL seventh graders recently traveled to Indianapolis to learn about the Indiana state government. Students were able to meet with and speak to State Representative Rebecca Kubacki and State Senator Jim Banks. (photo provided)

E m m a n u e l Christian School seventh-twelfth graders took a trip to Indianapolis recently and had a great opportunity to experience their state government at work. Students began their day with Attorney Eric Miller who works with Advance America, which is dedicated to informing and educating the citizens of Indiana as to how their government works and what they can do to make a difference on issues of importance to them. When at their office the students met with

Indiana Senator Dennis Kruse, who explained the process of how bills are passed and what they would see at the State House. After a short question and answer time with the Senator, the students walked a block down the road to the State House, where Eric Miller showed them around the sights of the State House. The students were able to experience the Labor Union Protests first-hand as they had to move through the crowds to get to a couple meetings Eric Miller had set up for

them. The first meeting was with our local Senator, Mr. Jim Banks. Senator Banks had a private meeting with our students where they were free to ask him questions, which ranged anywhere from the protestors outside the room, to the democratic walkout in Indianapolis. It was fascinating to see our students interact and ask some tough questions to one of their representatives in Indianapolis. The day concluded with one more private meeting in the Supreme Court room

with local Representative Rebecca Kubacki. She spoke with the students about what her role in government is in working in the House of Representatives, and urged them to step up in leadership as well. Overall, it was a very educational and eye opening trip for our students who had the opportunity to experience government in a first-hand view, from protestors to their elected officials.

Harvest for Health program makes donations to local organizations

SUSAN FLOOR, Chair of the Harvest for Health Committee presents $1,000 checks to Angie Ayala of the 4-H Council and Amy Poole RN of the WCH Oncology department. A $1,000 check was also disbursed to the Fair Board Association. Other committee members present were Darin Hadley of Wells Fargo Bank (left) and Mike Woods of POET. Committee members not present for the photo were Dean White of the Fair Board Association and Amanda Hanes of the Wabash County 4-H Council. (photo provided) The Harvest for Health program of Wabash County Hospital Foundation recently disbursed a $1,000 check each to Wabash County’s Fair Board Association and the 4-H Council of Wabash County. The disbursements were issued as result of the 2010 Harvest for Health donations from Wabash County farmers and resi-

dents. Harvest for Health is a fundraising program of the Wabash County Hospital Foundation that shares 100 percent of its gifts with the Fair Board Association, the 4-H Council of Wabash County as well as the oncology and cancer prevention services of Wabash County Hospital.

Harvest for Health was established to give county farmers the opportunity to donate crops versus cash and thus, receive additional tax benefits. Crop donations may reduce federal income tax as well as self-employment social security taxes. To date, most gifts have been cash from residents county-wide who want to support

the three organizations. “We are grateful for every cash gift, many from donors who give annually. At the same time, we hope to increase crop donations and enhance the awareness of Harvest for Health in our farming community,” said Susan Floor, Harvest for Health Chair. “100 percent of every Harvest for Health gift goes to support all 3 organizations. Donors of Harvest for Health and the WCH Foundation appreciate knowing that their gifts stay in Wabash County to help the youth and people of our own county,” adds Karen Newhouse, WCH Foundation Director. Corn, soybean or wheat donations may be received at POET in North Manchester, Louis Dreyfous plant in Claypool, or any Wabash County elevator. For more information about Harvest for Health, call the WCH Foundation at 569-2254.
