Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

YMCA fitness instructor shares inspirational story of defeating breast cancer by Danielle Smith On Feb. 25, Shelly Ruch, fitness instructor at the Wabash County YMCA, embarked on a journey that would affect her life in many ways, positively and negatively. She was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ruch has worked in the fitness industry for 15 years. She came to the YMCA, from a different gym, in October 2009. She lives outside of Wabash with her husband of nearly 17 years, Russell. Ruch found a lump in her left breast in March 2009. She labeled it as a cyst and dismissed it. “I thought it was no big deal,” Ruch said. “I’m an aerobics instructor, I eat healthy, I take very good care of myself and there’s not a family history of breast cancer so I didn’t really worry about it.” The lump started growing, and Ruch decided to make an appointment with her nurse practitioner. A mammogram was conducted in January and it was decided that a biopsy needed to be done. “They saw some calcifications, they never said cancer, but they said they were very suspicious,” Ruch said. After doing some Internet research, Ruch made the decision to see Dr. Schmidt of The Breast Care Center of Indiana. “He is one of the leading breast surgeons almost in the country. People come from out of state to see him,” she explained. Dr. Schmidt conducted an ultrasound and told Ruch not to worry. He explained that 90 percent of the women Ruch’s age (39) that he sees, do not have breast cancer. Ruch was the exception. She underwent a partial lumpectomy on Feb. 18 and received a phone message from Dr. Schmidt on Feb. 24. “I called back the 25th and I couldn’t get him so it was a really hairy day,” Ruch said. They were finally able to make contact when the doctor informed Ruch that she had invasive ductal carcinoma, a form of breast cancer. “It was one of the most heart-wrenching phone calls that I have ever had, and it still, to this day, makes me cry. Nobody ever wants to hear those words,” Ruch tearfully explained. Following her diagnosis, Ruch underwent a whirlwind of tests: a breast MRI, CAT Scan, MUGA Scan and estrogen test among others. She had eight rounds of chemotherapy, one every other week for 16 weeks. She received chemotherapy on Thursday and a Neulasta

SHELLY RUCH, fitness instructor at the Wabash County YMCA, was diagnosed with breast cancer on Feb. 25. Throughout the past eight months, Ruch has gained the support of many including those in her class and the YMCA. Ruch has one more radiation treatment scheduled this week before she is declared cancer free. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) shot on Friday, which is a medication that helps to raise the white blood cell count to prevent opportunistic illnesses. The treatments took a toll on Ruch. “My hair fell out two weeks to the day after I started. I had hair down to my ribcage. I cried, of course, but you get to a point where you don’t worry about your hair, you just want to live,” Ruch said. She endured intense physical pain as a result of the Neulasta shot.

“The younger you are, the more painful it is because blood cells are made in your bone marrow and if you’re young you’re still producing ample amounts of bone marrow,” Ruch explained. “It felt like a Mack truck hit you, water touching your skin in the shower hurt, to be touched hurt, there was no comfort.” Through all of this, Ruch managed to maintain a strong, positive attitude, of which she attributes to her employer, the YMCA.

SCOTT PATTISON, charged with murder in connection with the death of his wife, Lisa Pattison, makes his way to the courtroom before the trial began Monday. The trial is currently scheduled to remain on the docket for the next two to three weeks. (photo by Danielle Smith)

by Danielle Smith Several members of the press and public gathered at Wabash County Judicial Center on Oct. 25 for the commencement of the trial of Scott Pattison, who is suspected to have murdered his wife, Lisa Pattison on July 2, 2009. Prior to opening arguments, Judge Robert McCallen read instructions to the jury, which consists of four women and eight men, two of which are alternates. Prosecutor William Hartley began his opening argument by walking the jurors through their trial notebook, a large binder containing evidential documents and jury instructions. He went on to outline the facts of the case by giving a timeline of the events. He touched on several key issues including Pattison’s affair with Stacy Henderson, chief of staff for the mayor of Marion, and the discrepancies between the time that Pattison stated he arrived home from work and the time his video surveillance system recorded his arrival. “In this case you’re going to be asked to answer one question,” Hartley said. “On July 2, did Scott Pattison knowingly and intentionally kill Lisa Pattison?” Pattison is being represented by Attorneys Bruce Elliott and Stanley Campbell. The defense’s opening argument began with a powerful statement, “There is one ultimate truth here and that is that Scott Pattison did not kill his wife.” They elaborated on two important facts surrounding the weight bench that allegedly caused Lisa’s death. First, the bench was a Smith machine, which is a type of weight bench that has a bar that moves up and down on a track, as opposed to free weights unattached to the bench. Second, this type of weight bench has a feature called “safety spotters” which fit into slots on the track in order to prevent the bar from falling on the lifter. These “safety spotters” were (continued on page 7) not in use on the Pattisons’ machine.

3 Candidates for Wabash County Sheriff sit down to discuss issues with The Paper www.thepaperofwabash.com

October 27, 2010

John Breaton by Brent Swan In the Nov. 2 general election, Democratic nominee for Wabash County Sheriff will square off with Republican Bob Land to fill the position Leroy Striker has maintained for the past eight years. Recently, Breaton and Land sat down with The Paper to discuss some of the key issues the county faces as the general election approaches. Neither candidate knew of the questions beforehand, but both candidates were asked the same questions. Here are their answers: If elected, what do you see as the biggest change people will notice from day one? Land: The biggest change we’ll probably see is that the sheriff ’s department is down three officers as currently stands. I’m going to work to get those officers back on the road and serving the public like they should be – I think the public deserves that. I know the process is up in the air right now, but we’ll try to get those people hired and back on the road. Breaton: Definitely right now morale is low; we’ll look at working on that. One of the things that we’ll have to address is the standard operating procedure (SOP) and the hiring practices. I would like to make it so that I’ll only hire someone who lives in Wabash County. I’m a firm believer in taking care of your own – I’d like to hire from within the jail, reserves, or my employees that are underneath me. I also see too much wasteful spending in the current department. The patrolling tactics need to be improved and more efficient; my superiors won’t work only day shifts, the hours will be spread out more evenly. What role(s) do

Bob Land you see the sheriff ’s reserves playing in the future? Land: With the manpower being down at the sheriff ’s department – when I came here (Wabash County) in 1979 we had 20 reserves on the department, I think today we are at eight or nine – I want to get those numbers back to where they used to be. I want to work those reserve officers into the schedule where it is currently short because of that shortage of manpower. I believe we need to get the reservists well trained, give them training every month, so we can get the program back to where it needs to be. Breaton: Right now, the reserves have to pay for some of their equipment. I’d like to establish a fund where we can pay for all of their equipment and training. Most of these people are working 40+ hours at a job and then volunteering their time to the department. They should be more of an asset to the community – I’ll utilize them at football games or anywhere crowds may be at. They’ll be patrolling as well, the only difference between them and a merit deputy is that they don’t get paid. I’d like to get the reserves back to full capacity; things need to be restructured to get the qualified ones back in. With so much

being reported in the past year regarding the Sheriff accepting a full-time position while employed by Wabash County, what should voters expect from you if elected? Land: You’ll get a full-time sheriff who is not interested in another full-time job. I believe the position of sheriff is a fulltime job from the day you get into office. On Jan. 1, you’ll have a full-time sheriff with an open door policy. You can come down to the office and talk to me at any time. I am not interested in anything besides the sheriff position. Breaton: If I was elected sheriff, I would request commissioners to reduce my salary from $80,000 to $45,000 to allow each employee a $1,000 raise. With the approval of the commissioners and council, I’d take the remaining money to create a fund to be used to give bonuses to those who excel in their job. I would be the type of sheriff that would do what he needs to do in the office, but after that, I’d be out on the road. I believe that leadership needs to sacrifice the most. If elected sheriff, what kind of relationship would you expect to have with the County Commissioners and County Council? Land: Come Jan. 1, 2011, the slate will be clean as far as I’m

concerned – we’re going to start all over. I’ve been attending both the council and commissioners meetings for some time now and I’m getting good feedback from the supporters I’ve been talking to. Breaton: I know the council and commissioners have jobs as well, but they are the government. I know that I would need to be as cooperative and understanding with them as they are with me. A professional atmosphere needs to

be established, and what the majority says needs to go – I’m not in this for myself. It would be more of an open door policy, with an emphasis on commu-

nication. What crime related issue within Wabash County most concerns you and what would you do to remedy / control the prob-

lem? Land: I think all of us would agree the drug problem is probably the one thing that is hurting the community the (continued on page 4)

Candidates for Wabash County Sheriff sit down...continued from page 3 most. My plan is to utilize the personnel and hopefully, if we get back up to strength, to put a deputy on the current Wabash Drug Task Force. Everyone has heard about the heroin problem within Wabash County; methamphetamine usage is up across the state, and there are a lot of prescription drugs around as well. I have worked closely with the Drug Task Force and I know they have been doing an excellent job on cutting off some of the heroin. We’re not going to be able to get rid of the drugs – there’s always going to be some kind of drug out there – but my plan is to get a person full-time on the Drug Task Force. My belief is that the sheriff ’s department should be a part of

the solution and not the problem. Breaton: The drug problem. Whoever is doing what they are doing now, isn’t working. We need a regional task force; a local one with two or three departments isn’t going to cover it, we need to expand our resources. Everyone needs to have the same information to be able to work more efficiently. I’m not afraid to go to Indianapolis and ask the state government for assistance, because what’s happening now isn’t acceptable. It begins with education – kids need to learn about the harms of drug abuse. What is your background and how do you feel your experiences would benefit you as sheriff ?

Land: I’m a 34-year veteran of the Indiana State Police. Twenty-one of those years have been in a supervisory position, 28 years as a criminal investigator, and five years as a road trooper in Miami County – I feel as though I have seen almost every aspect of law enforcement. The last 10 years I have been involved with methamphetamine investigations and seven of those investigative years I’ve been working in an undercover drug capacity. I feel like you would be getting a wellrounded sheriff with knowledge in all aspects of the job. Breaton: I graduated from Northfield High School in 1998, but before that I always wanted to follow a career path in law enforcement to follow in my brother’s footsteps. I enlisted in the Marine Corps from 1998-2002, got out as a Sergeant in 2002, and took a job as a correctional officer in the Department of Corrections. I was a Milford Police Officer from 2005-09, and I am currently on the Jonesboro Police Department. I was also awarded the Herman H. Freed award during my time at the police academy. I feel that working in the small towns that I have shows I can handle the interactions with people in this communi-

ty.

What sets you apart from your opponent in this election? Land: I think the voters should look at the experience. For myself, there’s 34 years of state police experience. I know people have said, “Why do we want another state police officer in office?” I’ve heard from some of my own supporters that they hear it on the street. I would like to tell those people that I have that experience but I’ve had the 21 years of supervisory experience as well. I feel that I’ve seen about everything from personnel that have worked for me, and I can handle anything thrown at me. I’ve always said the most important quality a good supervisor can have is conflict resolution and I believe I’m good at that. Breaton: Bob’s a great guy no matter what, but I know I can do a better job. I’m not old school and set back in my ways; I’m more flexible to change and will be more proactive. I just have the go-to mentality to get things done – I’ve worked a variety [of cases], from the smallest crimes to big crimes. I just don’t want people to vote Republican only to vote Republican. I want them to pick the candidate they believe will do the best job and be able to help them the most. You see what the last state trooper did; he came up big and could

care less who he takes on because no one knows who his supervisor is. They’re set in a certain area, traffic or drugs. If drugs are a problem in the area and you’ve been in charge for 20 something years, why is it getting worse? I just know that I’m not going to take no for an answer. Looking back on the whole election process, what has the experience meant to you and what are some of the things you learned along the way? Land: We’ve been going at this for almost two years, and I’ve met a lot of people. It’s a lot of work, a lot more than I realized, but we showed that hard work pays off in the primary. Come Nov. 2 we are going to hopefully show the county that hard work does pay off, and it will continue to be that way if I’m elected sheriff. Breaton: It’s been great so far. I’ve heard people say, “Wow, I really like what you have to say.” I’ve learned that a lot of people listen to what you have to say. There are some people who say, “I’m Republican” or “I’m Democrat”. Some people then are the ones who just say, “We want something different.” I don’t understand how someone can put his own interests before the people who elected him – I have a problem with that. I always hear, “Wow, another state

trooper.” I even talked to a candidate who lost in the primary and he said, “What do you do, anoth-

YMCA fitness instructor continued from front page was a new employee at the YMCA when she began her battle with cancer, and she made it clear to the administration that she would understand if they needed to replace her. “This place was beyond supportive to me, it was home,” Ruch said. “My boss, Todd Bragg, said ‘I don’t care, we’ll do whatever we can do to make it easier for you, we just want you here because you need to get out of the house.” Ruch received the same response from Director Julie Echard. They made some concessions, Ruch missed a few of her classes and videotaped some classes to be played at times when she was unable to be there. “This place has been a godsend and I have to mention it. Everyone went out of their way to make sure I felt supported and loved and if I needed anything it was a phone call, text, or email away,” Ruch said. Ruch believes that God was working in her life when he brought her to the YMCA shortly before she was to undergo the most trying experience of her life. “If it weren’t for this place, the classes, the people, my husband, family

and friends, I never would have made it through cancer,” Ruch said.

A Zumbathon fundraiser, “Shake it for Shelly”, was held at the YMCA for Ruch, 120 attended. “I was in awe. I didn’t realize I had touched that many people,” Ruch said. Ruch had an excellent response to the chemotherapy, it killed all of her cancer. Dr. Schmidt made the decision to err on the side of caution and remove Ruch’s left breast and the lymph nodes that were affected. “People say ‘aren’t you sad about losing your breast?’ I am, but look at these people coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. These people have lost limbs, lost their vision. Those are things that are hard to live with. Can I live without a breast? Absolutely,” Ruch said, revealing her positive outlook on her situation. Ruch was found to be HER2/neu positive, which means that her body contains a protein that will cause cancer to be more aggressive. Because of this, she has decided to have her right breast removed for prophylactic reasons. Ruch has an amazing ability to see the positive in everything, and she outlined a few things that she felt were positive results of her ordeal. “All of my nieces will need to have a mammogram before they are 29 because I was diagnosed at 39. If it means they won’t get breast cancer, I’m happy. If I do nothing but keep my nieces from ever having to suffer this because they found it early, I’m happy,” Ruch said. She stressed the importance of mammograms and monthly breast exams. Ruch’s husband stood by her side through the entire ordeal, and she feels that breast cancer carried her marriage to a higher level. “It’s a bittersweet disease,” she explains. “You find out the people that really love you and you find out the people that really don’t care and I am blessed. You have no idea how blessed I am.” Ruch will undergo her final radiation treatment this week, and she can now declare herself cancer-free. “My journey was one of success, of finding out about myself and how strong I am, every day six feet above ground is a good day,” she concluded.

Pattison murder trial begins with testimony....continued from front page

The defense also informed jurors that the toxicology report revealed that Lisa had been taking Phentermine, a weight reduction drug, and antidepressants. The report stated that Lisa had three times the normal therapeutic level of Phentermine in her system. “I think that, at the end of the day, what the prosecution will seek to convince you of is speculation,” the defense said. “Your job here is not to figure out what happened, it is to determine whether you are convinced that Scott Pattison killed Lisa Pattison.” The prosecution called Tammy Monce, former 911 dispatcher for the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, as their first witness. Monce answered Scott Pattison’s 911 call at 12:14 p.m. on July 2. The phone call was played for the jurors. Pattison called from his cell phone, already en route to the hospital with Lisa. He requested a police escort, and was indecisive as to whether he would go to Marion General Hospital or Wabash County Hospital. “She’s blue, she’s not breathing, nothing,” the tape recorded Pattison saying. Monce

suggested that she send an ambulance so that Lisa could receive CPR immediately. Pattison responded by saying that he was an ex-first responder and he had already attempted CPR. Monce testified that an ambulance was dispatched to intercept Pattison, which happened on SR 15. After the call, Monce contacted Detectives Randy Miller and Mike Davis, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, stating that “she felt uneasy by the call.” The prosecution’s next witness was Officer Aaron Oyler, Grant County Sheriff ’s Department. He was dispatched to intercept Pattison, along with the ambulance. He accompanied Pattison to Marion General Hospital where Detective Jason Page, Indiana State Police, and Detective Randy Miller took over. Oyler’s vehicle was equipped with a camera, which captured the scene along SR 15 when Pattison was intercepted. This video was played for the jurors. Oyler testified that he never observed any signs of life from Lisa, and that he saw no signs of struggle on her hands. Nathan Marley, a

paramedic from Marion General Hospital, was the next witness called to the stand. He testified that Pattison was waving his arm out the window of his truck and had his flashers on in an effort to get their attention. He observed Lisa laying on her back on the floorboards in the backseat of Pattison’s truck with her head facing toward the driver-side door. Marley stated that his partner and Pattison assisted him in removing Lisa from the truck. They loaded her onto the ambulance where they administered CPR, intubated her, hooked up a heart monitor and IV, and administered cardiac drugs before leaving the scene to rush to Marion General Hospital. He, like Oyler, testified that he never saw any signs of life from Lisa. The final witness of the day was Detective Randy Miller, who was already in Marion when he received a call from dispatch on his cell phone concerning the situation with Pattison. He went to the emergency room and waited for Pattison to arrive. Miller and Pattison had a brief, recorded conversation recapping the day’s events,

which was played for the jurors. Miller was unable to play the recording later, so he asked Pattison to accompany him back to the Sheriff ’s Department for questioning. Miller testified that, later that evening, they obtained a search warrant for the Pattison home, which they conducted. It was while conducting the search that they observed the surveillance system, which they later confiscated. At this time, the jurors were dismissed from the courtroom and a final matter was discussed relating to evidence that is expected to be presented later in the trial. The evidence consists of a letter that was confiscated from Pattison while he was incarcerated. He had received the letter illegally from his prior attorney, Jerry Drook. Hartley stated that he plans to use the letter to prove motive because it speaks of Pattison’s in-depth affair with Stacy Henderson. The defense argued that the letter should not be presented to the jurors because Pattison obtained it illegally.

Judge McCallen will

Hospice volunteers add personal touch...continued from front page

treatments. Volunteers are a vital component in the continued success of the Hospice Home. Ann Blue has been the volunteer coordinator there for five years now and she has had a lot of great experiences not only with hospice, also with training the individuals who are truly considered to be the heart of hospice. “The best part of my job is supervising all of the angelic volunteers,” said Blue. “Volunteers are made of gold and I am surrounded by their good works every day. They are kind, humble servants that are generous and funny.” According to Blue, the process of becoming a hospice volunteer is fairly complex. Individuals interested in volunteering with Hospice Home must at least meet the following requirements: interview with a volunteer coordinator, attend comprehensive volunteer training, complete several prevolunteering steps, no personal losses in the past 12 months, a twoyear commitment upon completion of training, and the willingness to meet agency compliance

standards. “[Once individuals] progress through the interview and screening process – application, references, Limited Criminal History, fingerprinting, etc. – then they go on to 19 hours of training,” Blue explained. “Our volunteers serve the patients and caregivers in any number of ways; each setting and situation is unique and we go to where the patient is. Because our volunteers are face-to-face with our patients and work independently, they must be carefully screened and trained so they are prepared for the mental and emotional parts of hospice work.” “We are blessed with 91 volunteers that cover a wide range of hospice responsibilities,” she c o n t i n u e d . “Approximately 70 of them are trained as hospice volunteers that actually go out to patients nearing the end of life – most of our patients have six months or less to live. In the end though, it’s our patients and caregivers that are our heroes. Accepting that your life is nearing the end is never

easy, and being a caregiver for your loved one that is dying is very demanding physically and emotionally. Our agency is proud to partner with families during this end-of-life time.” Sally Farrell, Fort Wayne, retired at an early age after working for Verizon and decided to volunteer as a way to fill her free time. “I had tried another volunteer organization but it was very hands-off,” said Farrell. “My father had been a patient at Hospice Home and the care the people gave us was just amazing – I thought that was something I would enjoy. I’ve had multiple patients since I began in 2006; I’ve also represented Hospice Home at health fairs, worked with patients at home, and performed administrative tasks at the inpatient facility. “The training process was a lot of emotional preparation – dealing with grieving, dealing with the patient’s family, and understanding privacy policies. Being a caregiver is hard work; very often caregivers are over-

looked in terms of what they must deal with as well. I just hope that in every situation I can at least help the individuals to have a little less to worry about.” While the Hospice Home offices are in Fort Wayne, the agency extends its services throughout seven counties in northeast Indiana. “Our hospice team is ‘on the road’ bringing expert hospice care to our patients wherever they are,” Blue stated. “I’m happy to have recently trained a group of volunteers in the Wabash / North Manchester area, i n c l u d i n g Timbercrest and Peabody. Three great women have come forth, received training, and will soon receive their first assignments serving patients in the local area.” One of the new volunteers is North Manchester resident Wylene Signs, who recently retired from American Health Network where she worked as a nurse for approximately 23 years. “I wanted to do this because so many times in our society,

Trooper Mike Tomson receives promotion

Recently, Indiana State Police Superintendent Paul Whitesell, Ph.D., announced the promotion of Trooper Mike Tomson to the rank of sergeant. In his new assignment, Tomson will serve as a squad leader at the Indiana State Police Peru Post, which includes Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Tipton and Wabash counties. Tomson received his promotion through written testing, job

performance evaluations and a competitive interview process. Prior to his promotion, Tomson, a 10year veteran of the department, was assigned road patrol duties in Wabash County. He is certified as a field-training officer, a high performance vehicle operator, and to con-

duct federal level three truck inspections. Tomson also served as a member of the Indiana State Police Tactical Intervention Platoon. In 2008, Tomson was recognized as the Indiana State Police Peru District trooper of the year. A graduate of Southwood High

School, Tomson holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and criminology from Ball State University. He also received an associate’s degree in conservation law enforcement from V i n c e n n e s University. Tomson and his wife Chris reside in Wabash County.

when someone gets a terminal diagnosis, people ignore that person simply because they don’t know what to say,” explained Signs. “I believe these people get very lonely and they need someone to care about them. Another reason I got involved in this program is that I still believe I have something to give back to people. “We had three different training sessions with Ann, she is such a knowledgeable and compassionate person that she instilled in you a compassion for talking with these patients. I just hope that I’m able to gain the confidence of the patient and the patient’s family, because they’re involved too. I think the whole experience has been fantastic and I hope people understand how much of a need there is for this type of service.” For more information on Visiting Nurse & Hospice Home, or if you have an interest in becoming a volunteer, contact Ann Blue at 260435-3222 or go online to www.vnhh.org.

Republican; Allen Dunnagan, Democrat; and Mike Ridenour, Independent. All candidates were provided with the same questions. Here are their answers: What qualifications / qualities do you possess that make you the strongest candidate for the position? Ridenour: I am running as an Independent candidate and I have a much greater concern that I will be representing the residents of district 22. I will not be concerned whether or not I am aligning with the Governor or a particular political party’s agenda. I will not be accepting campaign contributions either. I believe I would rather lose the election than be tied to and owe favors to political action groups. I think politicians lose sight of what they are doing and for whom when money from these groups drive their campaigns. I believe two different reasons in regards to my background make me the best candidate for this position. First, I worked for a small construction company for several years. I know what it’s like to try and cut costs, be frugal in spending, and live within your means. In

'( '(

the four years I’ve been on council I have learned several things about state and local government. Possibly the most important thing I have learned is holding conviction to what I believe is right. I have voted on issues and voiced my opinion on matters that were not always in line with others’ beliefs but were made with the best interest of the majority. Kubacki: First and foremost is my hard work ethic. My volunteer experience with the United Way, Red Cross, literacy just to name a few have made me well aware of the needs in our district. I have raised thousands of dollars to help meet those needs. Because of that, I have established a reputation of getting things done. I intend to take that hard work ethic and get things done attitude to Indianapolis. Dunnagan: For too long, our state government has ignored the needs of Indiana’s working families. As manufacturing and service jobs leave our state, and our families face soaring healthcare costs, we can no longer stand by. Born and raised in Wabash County, I am from a working class family. Growing up I saw my parents work hard in manufacturing and construction trades and it taught me to appreciate the values of hard work, dedication, and ethics. Allowing me to represent individuals and families in our state government will only benefit the community. As a person who has personal experience with manufacturing job losses and plant closures, I plan to bring a fresh voice to Indianapolis, and will work hard for the people of District 22 and the entire state to ensure that finding solutions to these issues is at the top pri-

ority for our state government. A lot has been made of the current economic situation in our area; what initiatives do you intend to implement in order to help the economic outlook? Ridenour: Continue working with local economic development organizations and the regional groups that are marketing our areas currently to provide incentive and make our state new business friendly in regards to taxes. Some time ago an idea of giving a local income tax credit came up and I would be in favor of that. It would be similar to the state “EDGE” credit. We need to continue with our commitment to upgrade and enhance our infrastructure to provide the means for new business to receive materials and deliver finished goods without barriers. Another thing, and one very important, is to work jointly with the school systems and area colleges to make certain our students are getting the education required for the jobs that will come with the business our leaders are trying to recruit to this area. The newer business has more technological needs, and we must make certain our workforce is equipped. Kubacki: Jobs are at the top of my list. How do we address the problem. Support Right to Work Legislation. When going door to door the response was we want jobs. They didn’t care if they were union jobs or not, they just wanted work. In states where this legislation has been passed there has been growth in new job creation and people moving into the state. We need to support Economic Development organizations. Here in Wabash Bill Konyha has been very successful in pro-

moting and creating job growth. Oppose job killing regulation, get rid of red-tape and a bureaucracy which hinders job creation. These are just a few immediate steps we could take to get the economy moving forward. Dunnagan: We need to work together to bring in new jobs, to keep companies here, and to protect small businesses that are struggling. We currently give tax breaks to companies that locate to Indiana, and if they don’t fulfill their end of the bargain, they should be penalized. The companies that stay and do the right thing by creating jobs should be rewarded. I think we can do a lot more for them than we are currently doing. Fighting the loss of and working to create local service and manufacturing jobs will rebuild the local economy to the levels that residents of District 22 deserve. What is your opinion on the property tax cap legislation on the ballot? Ridenour: I support the idea and conception but I believe it’s not quite fair as laid out in our constitution (fair and equal). I know for a fact that there are ways around it for local governments. At a state board of accounts called meeting for councilmen this year they showed us how to incorporate the tax cap revenue loss estimate for the upcoming year into our budget request – it was ludicrous. More needed than constitutional amendments and changes to an unfair system of tax is more common sense and better judgment used in spending tax dollars. I believe it will be irrelevant if the tax caps pass, because there are more than enough loopholes around it. Kubacki: While campaigning the common concern from everyone

that I talked to was that the voice of the constituent was not being heard. On Nov. 2 we will have the opportunity to have our voices heard regarding Tax Caps. It would be arrogant of me to tell you how to vote. My vote is no more valuable than anyone else’s. The question of Tax Caps is very complicated and there are consequences to both sides. The single most important threat to Indiana’s economy is a government that is too costly and sees tax increases as the only way to solve its fiscal problems. During difficult times such as we are facing now, it is very tempting to raise taxes to meet the short falls we are experiencing. We cannot assume that we will always have a fiscally conservative governor or fiscally responsible legislators in office. Tax Caps will prevent liberal leaders from reaching into our pockets to accommodate their tax and spend philosophy. This is the pro side of things. The negative side of the issue is that we can be pleased with the fact that our property taxes will not go up but services will still have to be paid for. The money has to come from somewhere. I encourage every voter to look at both sides of the issue, be thoughtful and informed. It doesn’t matter whether you are a private homeowner, a farmer or local business; we have to vote for what is best for everyone in Indiana. Dunnagan: Vote no on the caps. There are no easy answers for the problems that we are currently facing in regards to tax revenue, budget allocations, and educational funding. The challenge will be prioritizing our community’s needs while preventing further job loss or negatively impacting the crucial services in our community. Besides the issues mentioned earlier, what are some of the key issues you will be focused on if elected? Ridenour: I believe we need law written that allows a public recall vote on an elected official, not only at state level, but locally also. The people that vote any elected official into office have got to be able to remove a person from that position if he isn’t doing the will of the people, or if he is in neglect of his duties One thing is to look at the rest of the state (continued on page 11)

Agronomist: Fall tillage often The Instrument Petting Zoo visits ‘expensive entertainment’ local elementary schools

Farmers with extra time on their hands following a swift harvest should think twice before tilling more crop fields this fall, said a Purdue University agronomist. As much as they might want to turn over black earth during what has mostly been a dry, sunny autumn, producers could find late-season tillage offers few benefits for the 2011 crop year, said Tony Vyn. “Whenever you do recreational tillage, it is expensive entertainment,” said Vyn, a cropping systems specialist. Except in certain situations, the potential negatives of fall tillage outnumber the positives, Vyn said. The downsides include a greater vulnerability to soil erosion, little to no crop yield improvement the following year and added expense. “Substantially enhanced erosion susceptibility has a longterm cost,” Vyn said. “In the short term, with the combination of fuel prices, equipment costs and other expenses, a producer really has to analyze whether a tillage operation will contribute something positive to the bottom line of corn and soybean production on a given field.” Purdue research indicates it does not. Studies conducted since 1975 on dark prairie soil near West Lafayette show that chisel and moldboard plowing provides no substantive yield advantage for corn following soybeans when compared with no-till systems. Researchers recorded average yields for corn following soybeans from 2000 to 2009 after fall chisel plowing of 204

bushels per acre. Yields following fall moldboard plowing averaged 202 bushels an acre, while untilled ground yielded an average of 201 bushels of corn per acre. Purdue researchers also recorded small yield differences for corn following soybeans this year, Vyn said. There also is little rationale for fall tillage on fields being planted to soybean the next year, Vyn said. Between 60 percent and 70 percent of soybean acreage in Indiana each year is already grown in a notill system. Fall tillage might make sense in a few cases where corn follows soybeans, Vyn said. “About the only justification you can make for tillage when corn follows soybeans is if it enables an earlier planting opportunity on poorly drained fields,” he said. “If you need to do some tillage in order to have the soil warm up or dry out faster, you need to ask yourself, ‘What is the minimum amount of tillage that I need to do on that field, with the residue and drainage situation I’ve got?’ Some of the minimum tillage systems that might accomplish that goal with lower cost and less incorporation of protective residue cover include strip tillage and shallow vertical tillage.” For corn following corn, fall tillage can noticeably increase yields in fields with medium- or fine-textured soil, Vyn said. “It doesn’t need to be very intensive tillage or tillage that goes down to depths of 12-13 inches,” he said. “It can be as simple as

a single pass of strip tillage, where it reaches a depth of 8 or 9 inches and forms berms between corn rows from this year so that it enables a stale seedbed planting system next spring.” The average yield benefit for corn following corn from fall tillage compared with no-till has been tracked at 22 bushels per acre from moldboard plowing and 17 bushels an acre from chisel plowing, in 2000-2009 Purdue research. There was almost no yield difference between tilled and untilled continuous corn acres in this year’s results. “There was, however, a huge yield reduction – about 35 bushels per acre – for planting corn after corn instead of soybean,” Vyn said. For additional observations on fall tillage, read Vyn’s article, “Fall Tillage Decisions in 2010,” which appears in the Purdue Pest & Crop Newsletter. The newsletter is available online at http://extension.ent m.purdue.edu/pestcrop/2010/issue25/in dex.html.

On Oct. 28, students at Southwood and LaFontaine elementary schools will have the opportunity to experience Instrument Petting Zoo. The program has already visited six other local elementary schools, and 900 local students will have the opportunity to experience the event. The Instrument Petting Zoo is a hands-on experience in which volunteers from the Wabash Unit of Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Association and others from the community demonstrate instruments, disinfect mouthpieces and assist the students at four stations: woodwind, brass, string and percussion.

Church Women United to hold World Community Day

Wabash County Attraction Guide now circulating

Church Women United in North Manchester will hold World Community Day on Nov. 5 at 9:30 a.m. Liberty Mills Church of the Brethren, located at Main and 3rd streets, will be host to the event. This year’s program begins with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of a world in which people of many nations and traditions work together in a commitment of nonviolent means. Together we consider examples of economic injustice in the light of a goal: communities that promote the dignity, safety and economic opportunities for all, which Dr. King memorably called “The Beloved Community.” Real life stories of economic justice will be presented by Barbara Wood and Terry Workman. The worship leader is Bicky Garber. Founded in 1941, Church Women United is an ecumenical movement of Protestant, Roman Catholic, Orthodox and other women (and men) from Christian traditions. For further information about World Community Day, you may call Barbara Wood at 260-982-2946.

The Public Relations Committee of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that the Wabash County C o m m u n i t y Attraction Guides are now being distributed. The guide was a cooperative effort between the North Manchester and Wabash Chambers of Commerce, the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County (EDG). Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Whitney Myers explains that, “The purpose of the County Attraction Guide is to excite and inform residents and visitors alike about the numerous amenities offered throughout the county. It also reflects the strong collaborative efforts of both chambers, EDG and the CVB. I am proud of this piece and honored to have been a part of its design.” This glossy magazine, with cover foldout, is packed with colorful photos donated by area residents and businesses. The

contemporary format and editorial content gives readers a glimpse into the spirit of our county. “I was very impressed with the quality and thoroughness of the attraction guide,” said Tim McLaughlin, executive director of the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce. “What a great tool for Wabash County to have at its disposal to show off what makes us unique.” “The guide is a reflection of the character of our area. We want to utilize this tool to recruit talent, businesses, families and visitors to Wabash County. It is not a directory of businesses, but a portrayal of the people, places and structure that makes Wabash County that special place we call home; yet invite others to make their home here, as well,” added Wabash Chamber President Kimberly Pinkerton. “We are encouraging everyone, but especially our educators, businesses and hospitality centers, to utilize this guide to promote our community.” The attraction guides were printed by Chamber member SpectraPrint, and were made possible through the generous support of the following advertisers: American Health Network, Autumn Ridge Rehabilitation Centre, Beacon Credit Union, Carrie’s Country Kennel,

Coordinator on this project was Beth Stein who commented, “As someone who has grown up in Wabash County, I

thought I knew most of the highlights that make this a special place as well as the “hidden gems.” I learned a lot as part of the committee who put this together. While this document may be primarily designed for those looking to visit or locate in the County, those of us who live here could learn something new, too!” Bill Konyha, president/CEO of the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County added, “This is clearly the Chamber’s best effort at a Community Guide during the four years that I have been in Wabash. It is very reflective of our efforts to expand and diversify our economy as we recall the past and move into t h e future. Congratulati ons for a job well done.” In addition to the persons listed above, other committee members for this project included Chair Lindsay Culver, Deni Yaggi, Beth Driscoll, Trula Cramer, Abby Hoy and Beth Miller. The attraction magazines will be available at Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, 260-5631168; North M a n c h e s t e r Chamber of Commerce, 260-9827644; the Economic Development Group; and the CVB, 260-5637171, as well as area inns and hospitality centers.

With the K-12 school system comprising more than half of the State’s budget it’s going to take some work to find ways to reduce overall state spending while not sacrificing our school funding. We need laws written that allow local fiscal bodies to use funds when available. Our county has a surplus that could have gone far to help our local schools from program cutbacks and personnel loss. Ethics in Government need scrutinized more closely also. With all of the large donations and influence from political action committees and special interest groups, the campaign for state offices has gone completely out of control. When a person is voted into office based on how many signs they have or how many direct mailers they stuff into your mailbox it is sad. Too often the winning candidate goes into office and is bound to, and owing political favor to the special interest group that funded their campaign. It shouldn’t be like that. The winning candidate should go

and represent the voters that sent him there. Kubacki: Education. We don’t need reform as much as we need to get back to basics. The principal should be allowed to run the school and the teacher should be allowed to run the classroom. This can’t be done without the support of the parents. The gift of high expectations is the best gift we could give our students. The more we expect from them the more they will rise to the occasion. Another issue, which needs our immediate attention, is the meth epidemic we are seeing in our community. My first order of business is to whatever needs to be done to make pseudoephedrine a prescription drug. Pseudoephedrine is the key ingredient for making meth. The tracking system, which is currently in place, has only created a black market for the drug. Dunnagan: We are in need of educational reform in areas of high school retention and graduation rates, affordable tuition in Indiana Universities and colleges, and adequate pay for educators within Indiana. In addition, we need to be working harder to keep our youth in local communities after graduation from college. Creating a stronger job market would allow for our youth to give back to

their communities through the use of their educations. Tell us a little about yourself – your brief bio, family info, things people would like to know about you personally. Ridenour: I am 46 years old. Married to Renee (Brown) for 26 years. Together we have three sons, Jonathan, 24, currently serving in Iraq with the Army. Blake, 23, lives, works and goes to college in Fort Wayne. And Nick, 14, an eighth-grade student at Northfield. I graduated from Southwood High school in 1982. I am currently employed by Harvey Industries as a machine operator. I am finishing my fourth year on the Wabash County Council and have served as the chair for the last two. Kubacki: Live in Syracuse with husband Mike and married 37 years. Two children, Katie Kubacki Silva and husband Cody live in Warsaw with their two children: Bella, 6, and Roman, 1. My son Matt and his wife Lindsay live in Chicago, Ill. I was born in a migrant camp in Immokalee, Fla. My family first moved to Indiana when they were picking tomatoes not far from where I am currently living. If there is one message I would like

to make clear is that the American dream is still alive and well. I would not be in this position if I didn’t have parents who expected us to work hard, learn English, and have faith in God. Government does not dictate our future or our potential, we do. Dunnagan: I grew up in Wabash, and I am a 1985 graduate of Wabash High School. I have three brothers, Willis Jr., Steve, and John; a sister, Ty Ann; and my father, Willis. I have been a fundraiser for the Miami Nation of Indians Indiana and have over 25 years in manufacturing experience.

Indiana farmers can grow their communities one donation at a time Rural communities are important to farmers. They give farmers a place to call home, a place to meet with friends for breakfast, a place to raise families. Now, Indiana farmers in 83 counties have the opportunity to win $2,500 awards for their favorite nonprofit organization. The awards are available through Monsanto Fund’s America’s Farmers Grow Communities SM program. The program’s first two pilots provided nearly 500 farmers in 10 states with $2,500 awards to direct to their favorite nonprofit. That totals nearly $1.2 million invested since the first pilot program began in January. The program has now expanded to more than 1,200 coun-

ties across 38 states. The America’s Farmers Grow Communities program is intended to benefit non-profit community groups such as agriculture youth organizations, schools and other civic groups important to America’s farmers. Farmers can apply online at www.growcommunities.com, or they can call 1-877-267-3332 to apply by phone.

Farmers, age 21 and over, who are actively engaged in farming a minimum of 250 acres of corn, soybeans and/or cotton, or 40 acres of open field vegetables, or at least 10 acres of tomatoes, peppers and/or cucumbers grown in protected culture are eligible. Farmers can enter now through Dec. 31. The program is open to all qualifying farmers, and no purchase is necessary

in order to enter or win. One winner will be drawn from each of the participating counties, and Monsanto Fund will announce winning farmers and recipient organizations by February 2011. Area counties, which are eligible, include: Adams, Allen, Grant, H u n t i n g t o n , Kosciusko, Miami, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley.

TIM DRAPER, O’Reilly Auto Parts store manager, presents a check for $200 to Connie Hall, board secretary for Meals on Wheels. O’Reilly recently opened at 820 N. Cass St., Wabash, and each time a new store is opened the franchise donates to a local charity in that area. (photo by Shaun Tilghman)

Extension Homemakers Council installs officers Wabash County E x t e n s i o n H o m e m a k e r s Council met Sept. 14 in the courthouse to install officers and begin plans for the upcoming year. Officers installed for 2010-11 were: Jane Long, president; Joyce Brewer, vice president, volunteer community support chairperson, and 4-H council representative; Mary Ruth Mendenhall, secretary; Bonita Kirtlan, assistant secretary; Ruth Dyson, treasurer; Mary Jean Wendel, assistant treasurer; Ellie Draper, advisor; and Marguerite Guenin, leadership chairperson. Wabash County EH has been paired with Tippecanoe EH for the Host-aHoosier program for this year. Wabash County will be entertaining Tippecanoe County EH sometime this year and is planning to visit their county in the spring. The International Project for this year is to raise money to purchase machines that are capable of converting salt water into fresh water to supply clean drinking water in some of the underdeveloped countries in the world. These machines cost approximately $500 each. It was suggested that each IEHA member save their

dimes for this project. The money will be collected in the spring. On Oct. 20 there was a joint meeting with Miami County at the Miami County Fairgrounds. This meeting, entitled “Carry In or Carry On”, consisted of holiday traditions and holiday foods. A Global Challenge for young people will be held Oct. 28-31, in Perrysville, Ark. During this overnight activity participants will explore cultural identities, discuss populations and resource distribution, quality of life and standard of living. The participants will experience what it would be like to spend the night in a home in Guatemala, Zambia, Thailand, Appalachia, Tibet, an urban slum, or a refugee camp. The council voted to sponsor two persons

to go to this event and will use unspent scholarship money from the 4-H Leadership School at the State Fair. The 4H Council will select the two who will go. Some of the 4-H Fair events were discussed. The adult open show had many nice entries but in total was not as big as previous years. More entries are requested for next year. The Fashion Show also wishes to have more adult entries. The Gift Baskets will need some attention to bidding and minimum bids. The Cookies and Milk booth was successful again this year and well patronized. The council voted to allow Kountry Kaleidoscope to handle this event for their club’s fundraiser beginning next 4H Fair. The Craft Bazaar will be Oct. 30, 8:30 a.m. - 1 p.m., at the

REMC building. IEHA will be 100 years old next year. Pictures and stories of the early days of IEHA are needed for a state publication as well as a possible county brochure. Anyone having

things that could be used may take them to the Extension Office. The October Blood Drive was Oct. 15. Harmony Club supplied cookies for that event. Joyce Brewer is

applying to be the E x c h a n g e Homemaker for the year. If she is chosen she will spend a month in Australia with a host family. She will return home and share her experiences and what she

has learned about A u s t r a l i a n E x t e n s i o n Homemakers with other clubs in the state. The council wholeheartedly endorses Joyce in this venture and wishes her well.

City of Wabash announces Trick-or-Treat hours

The city of Wabash has established the hours of 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31 for trick-or-treating. The Wabash City Police Department would like to inform parents that the department has Trick-or-Treat bags available to the public Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., in their lobby. The department would also like to share some safety concerns for children while they are trick-or-treating: Children should be accompanied by a responsible adult or teen-ager and not sent out by themselves. Children shouldn’t wear costumes that will impede their movement as it could cause them to fall and injure themselves. Try to wear a lightercolored costume. If possible, purchase some reflective tape to place on the costume. This time of year it gets dark early; be sure the children have some type of light. This will not only light their way, but make it easier for them to be seen by motorists. Have the children use sidewalks if possible, if they need to walk in the street, have them walk along the edge on the left side facing traffic. Parents need to remind their children and the guardians with them not to be lured into a vehicle, residence, building etc. by someone they are not familiar with. Someone in the group should have a cell phone with them in case of an emergency. Children should also be reminded not to eat any of the treats, candy, fruits etc. until they are checked or washed by an adult. These safety tips and common sense should enable the children and the parents to have an enjoyable and safe Halloween.

ISP warns of deer-vehicle crashes The Indiana State Police would like to remind motorists that many property and personal injury crashes occur this time of year as deer migrate from the fields and woods and run across Indiana roadways. Each year in Indiana, several thousands of dollars worth of damage occurs from vehicledeer crashes. In many cases, motorists are injured when they panic and swerve to miss a deer, and lose control of their vehicles and hit fixed objects. From Jan. 1, 2010, to Aug. 31, 2010, Indiana had 7,129 reported vehicle-deer crashes. One hundred seventyseven of those crashes resulted in personal injuries. Three crashes resulted in fatalities. From Jan. 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010, the counties of Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Tipton, and Wabash in the Indiana State Police Peru District reported 1,601 crashes with 35 people being injured. The Indiana State Police recommend the following driving techniques:

- When possible use high beam headlights at night and be aware that deer could be standing on or near the side of the roadway. - Drivers should never panic. Sometimes it is better to hit the deer than swerve and hit a fixed object, such as a utility pole or tree. - Where there is one deer there are often several. Be alert! - If your vehicle strikes a deer, do not touch it. A frightened or wounded deer can cause you serious bodily injury. Remain in your car, make sure you and your passengers are safe, and call the police to obtain a crash report. You must report this crash as you would any other. Driving defensively, wearing a seat belt, and obeying all speed laws will help motorists avoid crashes and prevent injuries. Statistical breakdown of reported deer crashes for the counties in the Indiana State Police Peru District (total number of crashes and the number of people injured from Jan. 1,

2009, through July 31, 2010): Cass – 314 crashes, five total injured Fulton – 281 crashes, six total injured Howard – 205 crashes, eight total injured Miami – 350 crashes, 10 total injured Tipton – 75 crashes, two total injured Wabash – 376 crashes, four total injured In 2009, Indiana had 16,225 reported vehicle-deer crashes; 322 resulted in personal injuries and four resulted in a fatality.

Seeing all ages of the community come together for such a wonderful cause is a great example of how wonderful Wabash truly is! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in such a meaningful event!

Also, to the Chili Cook-Off members: the judge might not use this word, but they have been amazing. May God bless all and thanks again. Debra Hardin

Long shares opinions on Dan Coats

Dear editor, There was an article in the Plain Dealer that not everyone may have seen. It was about Dan Coats. He served in the Senate from 1989-99 and earned $100,000 last year from Cerberus Capital Management, a hedge fund that bought the automotive company, GDX, in 2004 and later shut it down. Cerberus also paid Coats’ Washington law firm, King and Spaulding, an additional $40,000 over a number of years. Now does it sound like Dan Coats is trying to keep jobs in our country? I don’t think so. All he is interested in is lining his pockets. He has not lived in the State of Indiana for 10+ years. Over 600 people lost their jobs. It has hurt the City of Wabash in many ways. We need to vote for people who are going to try to get our jobs back from Mexico and overseas. Get out and vote on Nov. 2. Jane Long Wabash

Eagle Scout’s project a success

Dear editor, I would like to thank those who helped me with my Eagle Scout Project. This was held on Oct. 9 in the Eel River in North Manchester. We completely filled four canoes with trash and metal. There was more metal than trash including an oil barrel, a horse trough and a big trashcan. I would especially like to thank Terri Michaelis. She helped me organize some of the cleanup since she held another cleanup recently. She brought gloves for the volunteers and the trash bags. I would also like to thank Matt Berlingame for bringing the canoes from Manchester College. Businesses that donated towards the project include pizza from Pizza Hut, a cooler of orange drink from McDonald’s and water bottles from Lance’s New Market. The North Manchester EMS came and spent the entire time at my project. There were no injuries. Riverbridge Electric allowed us to park our trucks in their parking lot and Friermood Tire took the 12 tires that we found in the river. Brady Pyrah

Hands of Hope Candlelight Vigil raises more than $300

Fagin shares thoughts on a presidential run by Governor Daniels

Dear editor, A heartfelt thanks to everyone in Wabash County who played a role in the success of the Hands of Hope Candlelight Vigil at Emmanuel Freewill Baptist Church on Oct. 14. It was truly a community event that would not have been possible without the outpouring of support from both Pastor Doug Phillips and the students and staff at Emmanuel Christian School. Thanks to the students and staff, $303.75 was raised to support the victim’s advocacy and prevention work Hands of Hope facilitates in Wabash County. The students were such servant leaders; it was so impressive to see the dedication they displayed to the dinner and assistance throughout the evening. The parents, teachers and administrators of Emmanuel Christian School should be extremely proud! A special thanks also to everyone who played a role in the evening’s events, including: Pastor Doug Phillips, Emmanuel Christian School Principal Tim Dedrick, Wabash County Superior Court Judge Chris Goff, Wabash County Prosecutor William Hartley, Drea Collis, Melissa Smith, Pastor Rick Tolley, Wabash County Sheriff Leroy Striker, Wabash City Police Chief Charlie Smith and North Manchester Police Jeff Perry. If you weren’t among the 128 people at the vigil this year, I would highly recommend you mark your calendars for October 2011, this is too important a cause to not be educated and aware of. For additional information about Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc., a United Fund Agency, call 260-563-4407 or email lwilk@famservices.com. Linda Wilk, Director Hands of Hope

Dear editor, A Plain Dealer editorial supporting a run for the presidency by Governor Daniels was short on facts and long on puffery. His history proves the (Republican) agenda makes the rich richer, and is detrimental to the middle classes and the poor. During his tenure at OMB, the national budget declined from a $236 billion surplus to a $400 billion deficit (thanks, in part, to Bush’s tax cuts for the wildly wealthy). As Governor, Mr. Daniels “privatized” our toll road for a one-time payment of $3.8 billion dollars, eliminating future income to the state for the next 75 years. Now that private foreign interests are running the road, tolls have doubled; and Indiana loses over $7 billion in future income. But Daniels needed a quick fix to impress his public. Wabash residents got a nice smooth road to Wal-Mart from this “major move.” Mr. Daniels decided IBM (Fortune 500’s 15th largest corporation with yearly profits of $10,418,000,000) should run Indiana’s welfare program for even more profit. He entered into a $1.3 billion contract with IBM to outsource services that Indiana residents had provided. Needy welfare recipients were required to communicate with IBM through “call centers,” mail or computer. Centralized service centers were eliminated, essentially cutting off recipients (many of whom had no phone or computer) from contact with the service provider. Mr. Daniels had to cancel this contract in 2009 because IBM was so inept. The matter is now in litigation and costing the State thousands of taxpayer dollars. Mr. Daniels claims to have brought many new jobs to Indiana. His IEDC initially presented statistics showing astounding success. However, it soon became clear that IEDC’s job creation numbers were highly inflated and, in fact, led to very few actual new jobs for Hoosiers. Mr. Daniels loudly criticized President Obama’s health care reform package, and Indiana joined several states in filing suit against it, with shouts of “No Big Government!” Curiously, Mr. Daniels chose to take advantage of those same new rules, and applied for coverage for retired Indiana State Government employees! Which is it, Mr. Daniels? Not to be outdone, on the same day President Obama’s health care reforms took effect, the Republican Party issued “A Pledge To America” which promises to reinstate provisions identical to Obama’s – but not until after they get Obama’s provisions repealed! Go figure! The Republican agenda intends to privatize most government functions: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and our military (private “contractors”). Mr. Daniels has done his best to outsource state government to private interests in accordance with this mantra. Carried to its logical conclusion, all public policy will be dictated by and for the profit of private interests. When “No Big Government” (read: no regulation of big business) rapidly morphs into no representative government at all, we’d better stock up on the cat food – because that’s what we’ll be eating.

Penrod family walks in honor of Byron Curless shares thoughts on health care costs and Belle Penrod Dear editor, Everyone who came into contact with Byron and Belle Penrod has a story to share. Whether you called them mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, great-grandma and -grandpa, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, friend, neighbor, patient or customer; you experienced their kindness. Byron and Belle were married in 1949. They built their lives on a family farm east of Manchester. They were the parents of eight children, grandparents to 20 and great-grandparents to 12 and counting. Byron and Belle took great joy in their dairy farm and in their family. As age slowed them down, they were not able to walk and breathe like the young lives that surrounded them. Belle passed away Oct. 23, 2007, and was followed to heaven by Byron on Dec. 23, 2008. After their deaths, their son Darrell went for a walk. He walked for his mother who did not have a leg to walk upon and he walked for his father who did not have the breath to sustain him. On Sept. 26, the family of Byron and Belle Penrod came together to remember the great lives that these two shared and fellowship with the family that they had built. All eight of Byron and Belle’s kids were in attendance, along with their spouses, children and grandchildren. Participants ranged in age from three weeks to mid 70’s. A total of 56 family members and friends walked, rode in strollers, bikes or a hay wagon the three miles of country roads between Byron and Belle’s old farmhouse and their son Galen’s farm. The lives of Byron and Belle Penrod have touched, not only their family and friends, but their community as well. Their memory will live strong in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved them. Family of Byron and Belle Penrod

Dear editor, In the past few months we have been inundated with information about health care costs and the need for a new “Health Care Bill”. The need for this extensive legislation and the resulting bill is for future discussion. One of the reasons given for the need of this legislation was to reduce health care cost and to prevent insurance companies from “ripping off ” the public. I recently had a colonoscopy and was shocked by the charges billed. This service was done by a surgeon and a hospital in Fort Wayne. The charge by the surgeon was $1,320 and the charges by the hospital were $3,104.45. I believe these charges were outrageous and evidently so did my insurance company. The insurance allowed the surgeon $293.62 and the hospital $753.77, which each of these facilities accepted. This was a reduction of $3,377.06 than was billed. My questions are: What would I have had to pay if I had no insurance to negotiate for me? Why are these medical charges so outrageous? Who is “ripping off ” the public? If these medical facilities know that they are charging more than the accepted charges, why do they do it? Thank goodness I had insurance to negotiate for me. After, and while going through, the procedure I pointed out to the hospital staff inefficiencies that were very evident. Are these the reason they charge such high prices? I doubt if those suggestions were ever passed on. As long as they can get by with exorbitant charges and some persons have to pay these costs they will continue with their uneconomical procedures instead of correcting them. Larry Curless

Visitor leaves with positive impression of Honeywell Center

Dear editor, My husband and I recently attended a wedding reception at the Honeywell Center. The grandmother of the bride is from Nebraska and in the catering business. She was quite taken by the kitchen. They let her have a peek, everything was clean and shiny. It was all stainless steel. The meal was very good. She said the food was delicious and the chef did a good job. The staff was very efficient. They kept the hors d’oeuvre table full and drinks filled. She said we are so lucky to have a place like this. I told her about the theater and some of the people that have performed here. She was impressed. Rebecca Davenport Wabash

Exercise caution when grazing cattle in cold weather Professional midwives share Ron Lemenager. Sorghums and related plant species can easily accumulate these toxic compounds following events such as frost that rupture plant cells. Ruminants, or animals with stomachs divided into four chambers, are more susceptible to prussic acid poisoning than

rodent and vermin killers. It accumulates in a number of common plants, and once animals consume those plants, the toxin rapidly enters the blood stream, is transported throughout the body and inhibits use of oxygen by the cells in the animal’s body. “In essence, the animal suffocates,” said

As frost begins to cover fields, cattle producers should protect grazing livestock against prussic acid poisoning and bloat, a Purdue University Extension beef specialist says. Prussic acid, also commonly referred to as cyanide or hydrocyanic acid, is a potent, rapidly acting poison often used in

other animals because the ruminal microorganisms have enzymes that release the acid in the animal’s digestive tract. “Signs of prussic acid poisoning can occur anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours after animals consume toxic forages,” Lemenager said. “Animals are often found dead. Clinical signs, when noticed, occur in rapid succession and include excitement, rapid pulse and generalized muscle tremors, followed by rapid and labored breathing, staggering and collapse.” In addition to creating prussic acid in sorghum and related plants, frost also can create high levels of soluble protein in alfalfa, winter wheat and white clover. When an animal consumes these, the result is frothy or legume bloats, Lemenager said. Cattle suffering from bloat can die within an hour. Rapid swelling of the left side of the body and various signs of discomfort often can be symptoms. “It is important to know when to graze cattle and when not to,” Lemenager said. “The best prevention of both prussic acid poisoning and bloat is to keep livestock from grazing on nights when frost is likely and to keep animals from grazing at least 5-7 days after a frost.” Lemenager suggests that cattle be fed before they are let back out to graze so

Block Party on Faith Street

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love kids,â&#x20AC;? said Wabash Friends Church Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pastor Kathy Jaderholm, talking about why the Family Center was built and designed with children in mind. The main wing of the Family Center is called Faith Street and includes rooms with colorful and exciting themes such as the G r e e n h o u s e , Clubhouse, Treehouse and Warehouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Infants and toddlers get a great start in their faith in the Greenhouse, a whimsical place to grow and play,â&#x20AC;? Jaderholm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Preschoolers run through the doors of an imaginative Clubhouse where they can explore Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Treehouse beckons kindergarten through third-graders to come inside and discover who God is. In the Warehouse, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word is being packed into the hearts and minds of fourth-, fifth- and sixthgraders as they work out what it means to follow Jesus.â&#x20AC;? A caring and committed Faith Street Crew creates a warm and loving environment for children and families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our hope that families in the Wabash community will see us as a resource and support as they seek to connect to other families and find resources to help them as parents and c a r e g i v e r s , â&#x20AC;?

Jaderholm said. Faith Street will be holding a Block Party on Nov. 14, from 1 to 5 p.m., with activities and events geared especially to children and families. Events include: a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert by Keith Connor, 1 and 3 p.m.; horse-drawn hayrides, popcorn and cider, face-painting, crafts, and family portraits by Nicole Howard Photography. The Block Party is open to the community and is part of a daylong celebration and dedication of the Family Center. Dr. Jay Kesler, Taylor University, will speak in the morning services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8, 10:30 and 10:35 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building Strong Familiesâ&#x20AC;?, followed by a brief dedication ceremony at noon and a pork loin meal at 12:30 p.m. For tickets to the meal or for more information, call the church at 260563-8452.

Mary Rohrer gave a legislative update and urged members to vote Nov. 2. The Auxiliary will be serving Election Day meals to Pleasant Township poll workers. President Torpy, Secretary Tina Evans and Past Unit President Julia Alderfer reported on the Auxiliary Fall Conference they attended in Indianapolis and the numerous workshops where they gained much material and

knowledge for the programs planned for the coming year as the Auxiliary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soars to New Heights for the Veterans and Our Communities.â&#x20AC;? Veterans Affairs Chairman Tina Evans collected and delivered $304 worth of items to the conference shower held for the Veterans Hospitals. Members are urged to record their community service and field service hours weekly for an accurate reporting for annual reports in April 2011. Items and phone cards are being collected for boxes to service men and women in late November. We are also collecting cell phones for a National Security project of helping with domestic

violence. These items can be given to any Unit officer.

Manchester dominates Winchester, top ranked Luers next by Eric Christiansen The Manchester Squires turned in a dominant performance Oct. 22 in the opening round of sectional play, handling Winchester 4720. The Squires looked right at home against Winchester, despite having their game moved to Whitko High School. Logan Brunn got the scoring started off for the Squires with a four-yard run with 8:26 left in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead. Winchester was forced into a three and out, and three plays later, Preston Penrod scored on a six-yard run with 6:06 left in the first for a 14-0 lead. M a z r i c Shambarger recovered a fumble on Winchester’s second play of their next drive on the 38 yard line. Austin Flack put

the ball on the five yard line with a 33yard run, and Brunn scored his second touchdown of the night – this time from one yard out – four plays later on a fourth and goal for a 20-0 lead. Winchester was forced to punt once again, and the Squires looked to pad their lead. After an 11-play drive, Derek Self ’s 40-yard field goal was off the mark. Winchester got their first first down of the game midway through the second quarter, but they were once again forced to punt. On Manchester’s next offensive play, Penrod made it a 26-0 game with a 75-yard touchdown run with 5:41 left in the half. The troubles continued for Winchester on their next series. After an illegal procedure call, Seth Brubaker recorded a

sack for a seven-yard loss. After a false start and an incomplete pass, Brubaker intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown to give the Squires a 33-0 lead with 4:14 left in the half. In the second half, Penrod made it 40-0 on a 16-yard touchdown with 8:16 left in the third quarter. On Winchester’s next drive, Skyler Honeycutt picked off a pass, setting up a 39yard drive that went 11 plays, ending on a three-yard touchdown from Brubaker for a 47-0 lead. W i n c h e s t e r outscored the Squires 20-0 in the fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late, as the Squires advanced to the second round of sectional with the 4720 win. The Squires will travel to top ranked and undefeated Bishop Luers on Oct. 29.

Norse pick up first sectional win since 1996

AUSTIN GOTTSCHALK (12) fights for extra yards against Fremont’s Austin Hall during sectional action Oct. 22 at Northfield. Gottschalk threw two touchdowns and also rushed for two scores as the Norse defeated the Eagles 56-20. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) By Shaun Tilghman Northfield was 4-5 heading into the opening round of Sectional 35 action on Oct. 22, but they did the right thing in not overlooking 0-9 Fremont. The Eagles held a onescore lead twice in the opening stanza before the Norse took over in the second and rolled to a 56-20 sectional victory. Fremont got things started just less than two minutes into the contest when Randy Shaffer recovered a fumble by Hunter Wells and returned it 40 yards for the touchdown and a 7-0 lead. “Their first score, the fumble recovery that they took back, was a little bit reminiscent of last year,” said Northfield assistant coach Justin Schuhmacher. “To our credit though,

this group didn’t panic and I think that says a lot for the senior leadership.” Northfield was forced to begin the next possession from their own six yard line after a miscue on the kick return. After struggling to get anything going the Norse lined up in punt formation with Justin Parker deep in his own end zone. Parker couldn’t handle the snap but was able to scoop up the ball and scramble 22 yards for a first down. Austin Gottschalk then connected on a pass to Joe Frieden, who escaped three would-be tacklers before sprinting for a 76-yard touchdown. The score was tied 7-7 with 8:15 left in the first. Fremont responded with a 33-yard drive that culminated in a nine-yard

touchdown pass from quarterback Nick Herndon to Jonathon Verde. They held a 14-7 lead at the 2:49 mark. Parker started off the next drive by hauling in a 40-yard pass from Gottschalk to move the Norse into Eagle territory. Six seconds into the second quarter Hunter Wells found the end zone from seven yards out, but a failed extra point attempt left the Norse down 14-13. The Eagles were faced with a thirdand-nine on their next drive when Scott Ammons and Peyton Ross got to Herndon in the backfield for a 10yard loss to set up fourth-and-19. After the Norse took over, they found themselves facing a fourth-and-one from the Fremont 39 yard line. Gottschalk bought

some time by scrambling in the backfield before hitting Frieden in stride, from there Frieden would do the rest as he broke two tackles on the opposing sideline before plunging across the goal line for the score. Parker ran in the two-point conversion to put Northfield on top 21-14 with 7:41 to play in the half. Frieden’s number was called again six minutes later, but this time it was Parker who delivered the pass after taking a hand-off from Gottschalk. The 11-yard touchdown reception made the score 28-14 in favor of the Norse. With 58.2 seconds remaining in the half, Austin Curless picked off a Herndon pass on Fremont’s 49 yard line. Jared Kirtlan made an acrobatic 32-yard catch down

his own sideline setting up an 11-yard touchdown run by G o t t s c h a l k . Northfield took a 3514 lead into the break. The third quarter was all Northfield as they increased their lead to 56-14 on three rushing touchdowns. Matt Shafer started things off with an 11-yard touchdown run on the first play of their opening possession. Gottschalk then found the end zone again, this time for a nine-yard touchdown at the 6:13 mark. Curless capped the Norse scoring with an eight-yard touchdown with 3:01 left in the quarter. Fremont added a score with 16 seconds left in the game as Herndon

found an opening for an eight-yard touchdown scramble. The final score was 56-20 as N o r t h f i e l d improved to 5-5, while Fremont ended the season 010. Gottschalk finished the night completing eight out of 12 passes for two touchdowns, and also added two rushing touchdowns. Parker completed one pass for a touchdown, caught three passes for 65 yards, and rushed for 55 yards. Frieden ended with three catches for 126 yards and three touchdowns. Wells recorded four solo tackles and a sack to go with his 64 rushing yards and one touchdown. Kirtlan and Curless each

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.

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.

(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 s e a s o n . Unfortunately, they are also viewed as a time of opportunity for would-be 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 27year 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 inch-long 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 bur-

glars. 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

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 con-

trolling the temperature of your home from most Webenabled 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 (continued on page 36)

Saving energy might not be as How you can make your home - and family - more fire safe difficult as you think continued from page 35 temperature that’s most comfortable 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 filters and replace them if they are dirty. This should be done at least once a month during times of heavy usage,

according to the Department of Energy. Clearing and cleaning any vents in your heating system will also help it run more efficiently. The Schlage LiNK remote home-management system, when used in conjunction with the 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 heat-

ing 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 energysaving projects in years to come.

(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.

Warm your home for the holidays with energy-efficient products (ARA) - Fall colors, cooler weather and crackling fires mean the holidays are right around the corner. As consumers prepare themselves and their homes for colder temperatures, many will seek out energy-efficient products. By making smart decisions, you can be sensible, yet stylish, when the cold weather, family and friends arrive for the holidays. The first place to start: your windows and doors. Replacing old, drafty windows and doors with fashionable, more energy-efficient ones can help you save energy and lower your utility bills yearround. If you’re an American homeowner, it could even help you save at tax time if you purchase and install before

Dec. 31. Long-term energy savings “Today’s budget-conscious consumers demand energy-saving products,” says Kathy Krafka Harkema, energy efficiency expert at Pella Windows and Doors. “To help stretch your paycheck and add to the comfort of your home, replace items with more energyefficient options that help provide long-term savings and a short-term defense against rising energy rates.” The Energy Star program, created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy, helps consumers identify energy-efficient products. In 2009, Americans, with the help

of Energy Star, saved $17 billion on energy bills and reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 30 million vehicles, according to the EPA. Improve your energy efficiency To help improve your home’s energy efficiency, consider these tips: During cold weather, keep window treatments on southern-facing windows open during the day to capture the sun’s heat. Close them at night to help keep heat inside your home. During warmer months, close the blinds, shades or curtains during the heat of the day to reflect the sun’s heat away from your home’s interior. Choose double- or triplepane windows with low-

emissivity (low-e) coatings to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling costs, especially from northern-facing windows. Keep window treatments closed when the sun is shining in from east- and westfacing windows to help reduce the heat buildup from solar heat in your home. Regardless of the type or style of windows and doors you choose, it’s essential that they are installed properly for best performance in sealing out air and moisture. Short-term style solutions Pella is teaming up with Lowe’s to make it easy for homeowners to jumpstart their next energy-saving home improvement project. Find a daily energy-saving tip this fall at www.lowes.com/pella and view the variety of energysaving products. “Energy-efficient windows and doors are smart and beautiful,” says Shelli Locklear, Pella Corporation national accounts segment marketing manager. “With our Designer Series 750 products, you can create the stylish, breathtaking views you always wanted in your home.” Pella Designer Series 750 windows and patio doors feature between-the-glass blinds, fabric shades and removable grilles with exclusive snap-in technology that make them easy to change. And, since the blinds are between-theglass, they don’t accumulate dust, dirt or certain indoor airborne allergens. Your Lowe’s millwork associate can help you choose the windows or doors that are right for you. Qualifying energy-efficient windows and doors may be eligible for up to $1,500 in U.S. energy tax credits when installed by Dec. 31.

Flooring systems manufacturer to establish Miami County operation equip a 155,000 square-foot facility at 2935 W 100 N to manufacture the company’s trademarked EKOFLOR flooring brand. “It’s exciting to announce new investment in any part of our state, but it’s a special joy when it occurs in a smaller community like Peru,” said Governor Mitch Daniels. “We know Conforce had other options to locate this new business, but we also know there is no better place for this business to thrive than North Central Indiana.”

Corporation has provided an economic environment which we believe will be conducive to the growth of our operations. The IEDC has also presented a compelling case for further expansion in Indiana as the demand for EKOFLOR increases,” said Marino Kulas, chairman and chief executive officer of Conforce. C o n f o r c e International is headquartered and operates its manufacturing and development facility in Concord,

Conforce plans to begin hiring manufacturing and supervisory associates in the first quarter of 2011 as new machinery is installed at the facility. Applicants may apply by sending a resume to info@conforceintl.com. “On behalf of Conforce, I would like to thank the people of Peru for welcoming us into their community. Conforce is excited to call Peru its new home for the production of EKO-FLOR. The Indiana E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t

Rural Indiana says yes to smoke-free laws Support for comprehensive smoke-free laws is overwhelming in rural Indiana communities. Research shows that 66 percent of rural Hoosiers support making all workplaces smoke-free. The message to policymakers is very clear. Two-thirds of residents in rural communities in Indiana support a comprehensive smoke-free workplace law that eliminates secondhand smoke in all workplaces, including bars and restaurants, according to new public opinion survey data released by the Indiana Rural Health Association (IRHA). The public opinion data, collected and analyzed by the IU Survey Research Center, found that across rural communities in Indiana, 66 percent of rural Hoosiers support a law making all workplaces, including bars, restaurants and membership clubs, smoke-free. According to Dan Gray, Coordinator of Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition, the numbers and the message to policymakers speak very clearly: rural Hoosiers are ready for all workplaces, including bars, to be smoke free. Gray said, “This new survey data measuring support for a comprehensive smoke-free workplace law just shows that people in rural communities in Indiana overwhelmingly support a smoke-free law that protects all workers, just like people in the rest of Indiana. We value the lives of our workers – who are also our neighbors, friends and family – here in Wabash County just as much as people in any of the dozen Indiana communities with a comprehensive smoke-free law or the majority of the states in the U.S. with comprehensive statewide smoke-free laws.” The survey also found that, on average, 85 percent of rural Hoosiers believe that workers should be protected from secondhand smoke exposure in all workplaces, with even 60 percent of current smokers in agreement. The survey research, released Oct. 7 by IRHA, examined public opinions about smoke-free policies in representative rural communities as part of the Indiana Collaborative for Healthier Rural Communities project spearheaded by IRHA. “People in rural Indiana definitely support comprehensive smoke-free workplace laws because they are exactly the kind of common sense Hoosier value we find in rural Indiana. People shouldn’t have to suffer harm caused by someone else’s tobacco use,” said Don Kelso, IRHA Executive Director. “Rural Hoosiers just want to do their jobs and provide for their families, and they should not have to risk having their lives cut short or health jeopardized by this preventable health threat.” Secondhand smoke is proven to be a serious health risk. In 2006, the U.S. Surgeon General issued a conclusive report that says secondhand smoke causes heart disease, lung cancer and other respiratory problems. The 2006 report says that even the most advanced state-of-the-art ventilation or filtration, smoking rooms and separation of smokers and nonsmokers cannot eliminate the health risk caused by secondhand smoke. The report also found that even brief exposure is proven to be harmful and that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. The survey showed that over half (53 percent) of rural adult Hoosiers would continue to eat out as often as they do now if all establishments were smoke free and 31 percent said they would eat out more often. Only 15 percent said they would eat out less. This represents a net gain of 15 percent in potential business. Gray summarized the IRHA report by asking “So why are Wabash County’s workers and the public at large still left out of such a simple, common sense policy to protect us from secondhand smoke?” Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition is a Youth Service Bureau program, an affiliate of the Wabash County United Fund.

Fall property taxes due Nov. 10

Family Center offers new place for teens Step into the “big room” and enjoy a concert or hang with friends at the coffee bar. The Family Center offers teens more than a place to hang out. “We hope teens find this to be a comfortable and fun place, because it was designed with them in mind,” says Wabash Friends Youth Pastor Pat Byers, “but we also want them to feel like they belong here, that it’s a place where they can feel safe and open to talk about things that matter to them and where they can find support to survive some of life’s tough times.” The Family Center was built to provide room for the growing congregation’s children and youth. A Grand Opening Celebration will be held Nov. 14 and events are planned throughout the day. “We’d love to have the community come and see what we’re about

and tour our new area,” said Byers. “We’ll have a pizza party at 5 p.m., and local band Small Town will perform before and after our special guest comedian David Dean,” he said. The event is free of charge and the community is invited. David Dean, Huntington, is known for his infectious humor and ability to relate to his audiences. “David is the type of comedian that relates well with about any age group,” said Byers. “He helps us to laugh at ourselves while also touching on the important things of life. This is one of those events teens will be talking about the next day at school.” In addition to the youth activities, the daylong celebration includes activities for all ages. A horsedrawn hayride, pop-

corn and cider, and a port loin dinner are part of the day’s schedule. Children’s activities will be held in their new area including Brian’s balloons, crafts, face painting, and an animal petting farm. All events are free except the pork loin meal. For more information or for tickets, please call the church at 260-563-8452.

Fall property taxes are due Nov. 10. A penalty will be added to all delinquent taxes on Nov. 11. Several options are available for payment of taxes including: - Pay in person at the Wabash County Treasurer’s Office. - Pay by mail. Send the entire page marked “TAX REMITTANCE COUPON 2010” along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope for a return receipt. Make sure your payment is postmarked

by Nov. 10. - Pay at one of these local banks: Bippus State Bank, Crossroads Bank, First Farmer’s Bank, First Financial Bank, First Merchant’s

Bank and Mutual Bank. - Pay at the gold drop box located in front of the Judicial Center on the west side of the courthouse parking lot.

Next year’s Urbana Car Show will be held on Oct. 15, 2011. URBANA YOKE PARISH WOMEN’S GUILD met Oct. 12 for a carry-in salad supper at the home of Martha Chamberlain. President Kitty Baer presided at the business meeting. Mary Ann Mast, Executive Director of Mental Health America Wabash County, gave the lesson/program. She spoke about promoting good mental health and mental health issues/illnesses such as depression, stress, bipolar, medications, doctors, as well as some of the recent

programs Mental Health is working on. Mental Health America provided funds for all of the students at Manchester College to have access to online depression screening for one year. Plans are being made to add a mental health court as one of the problem-solving courts in Wabash County. Postpartum depression brochures are now being added to the packet of information given out at the L.I.F.E. Center and also to local doctors. Mental Health America is a United Fund agency and Mary Ann Mast encourages everyone in Wabash County to give generously during the current campaign so that Mental Health America and other notfor-profits can continue to help those who live in Wabash County. Hilda Wilcox won a box of NARSAD note cards from Mental Health America. NARSAD (National Association for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression) cards are sold at One World in North Manchester. The profits from the sale of these cards are given back to Mental Health America to purchase educational materials on mental health issues and also for research into the causes and cures for mental

illnesses. Indiana University has been the recipient of some of these grant dollars. Those present were: Martha Weck, Eileen Weck, Lillian Maurer, Donna Russell, Beverly Schnepp, Janet Warnock, Chrissy Chamberlain, Kitty Baer, Hilda Wilcox, Doris Mattern and Mary Ann Mast. The group’s next meeting will be Nov. 9 at the home of Lillian Maurer. UPDATE ON NORTHFIELD TEACHER KAREN KANE: Mrs. Kane has completed two rounds of chemotherapy and will soon begin a third round. She said that she has appreciated the cards and notes she has received, but at this point the main things she needs are rest and your daily prayers. HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS: The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County ‘Next Steps’ program for seniors and parents is Nov. 1, 6 - 7:30 p.m., at the Wabash Middle School Auditorium. At this program seniors will be provided with a scholarship and financial aid handbook that contains all Wabash County Community Foundation scholarship information.

Notice to property owners, leaseholders and owners of mineral rights located within Lagro’s Wellhead Protection Areas (WHPAs). In March 1997, the State of Indiana passed a law to protect groundwater that is used by public water suppliers. The law is referred to as the Wellhead Protection Plan. The basic principle is to protect the water before it flows into the wells that are used by public and private water users. Lagro Water Department has obtained approval from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to use a radius of 3,000 feet around their wells as our area of protection (Wellhead Protection Area). The Town of Lagro utilizes three wells in two different wellfields to obtain their drinking water from. Therefore, they have two WHPAs. One WHPA encompasses most of the town of Lagro. The other WHPA encompasses a radius of 3,000 feet near the intersection of U.S. 24 and CR 300. If you do own or lease property in one of Lagro’s WHPAs, we are asking for your cooperation in keeping this area free of contamination. If you know of any sources of contamination, please call the water superintendent, Scott Siders, at 260-782-2451. Remember to practice good environmental methods such as proper disposal of all chemicals, oil, antifreeze, animal waste, household cleaners, paint, etc. Keep your septic systems in good working condition. Properly plug abandoned old wells. Properly dispose of batteries. Whenever possible restrict the use of pesticides and fertilizers to protect the water, as well as your own health. The Town of Lagro’s completed WHP plan can be viewed at the town clerk’s office, 230 Buchanan St., Lagro.

Economists: Weak currencies could boost ag export markets Exporting nations like the United States are finding that weaker currency spells stronger trade opportunities. That is, if their monetary moves don’t first lead to a trade war, said two Purdue University agricultural economists. At least three major exporting countries – the United States, China and Japan – have made direct or indirect moves to depreciate their currencies, which might make their exported goods less expensive in foreign markets. Brazil could soon follow suit. The United States likely will see record agricultural exports

in the year ahead, said Philip Abbott and Chris Hurt. For the year to date, the United States is running a $600 billion trade deficit. Some nations view weak exchange rates as a way to stimulate export activity and, thus, their general economies, the economists said. It could backfire, however, if more countries jump on the currency devaluation bandwagon, they added. “Once everybody does it, it doesn’t work and it becomes costly,” Abbott said. “You get the effect of prices of goods going up and higher inflation without the benefits of greater economic out-

put and job generation. In the long run, everything becomes more expensive and you lose the gains from trade.” Hurt said, “There’s the danger of getting into trade wars. Now that countries are trying to get a competitive advantage by manipulating their currencies, it could result in retaliation from other countries. We must not go in the direction of trade wars, which could reduce economic activity for the entire world.” The World Trade Organization does not specifically prohibit currency manipulation, although some trade experts consid-

er it a form of export subsidy, which is forbidden by the WTO, Abbott said. The U.S. dollar has lost 40 percent of its value since 2002. In just the past three weeks alone – and more significant, Abbott said – the European euro gained about 16 cents in value to the dollar. One euro is now worth about $1.40. “This will tend to increase U.S. exports to the Euro zone,” Hurt said. Loose monetary policy by the Federal Reserve has pushed down the dollar’s value, Abbott said. The Fed has taken action to keep interest rates near historic

lows to get the economy moving, he said. Japan attempted to weaken its yen, to bolster its exports and overall economy. The Japanese cut shortterm interest rates to zero percent and longterm rates to 1 percent. The island nation also sold yen and purchased U.S. dollars on the open market. China has utilized a weak yuan for years as an economic development strategy, Abbott said. Beijing purchases U.S. Treasury bills with its export surplus as an investment instrument, in part because it lacks investment alternatives within China’s domestic economy, he said. European nations now face a strong euro and could begin taking steps to weaken that currency. Should multiple

nations employ that strategy simultaneously, it could lead to an environment conducive to trade-killing tariffs, Abbott said. “What scares everybody is that this is reminiscent of the Great Depression,” he said. “The United States imposed the Smoot-Hawley tariffs in 1930 and then other countries retaliated with tariffs of their own. Many economists believe it made the Great Depression more severe and last longer. “One way you could bring about a doubledip recession is by adopting tariffs, which is what some people are talking about right now.” The devalued U.S. dollar will be good for the agricultural sector, Hurt said. “A weak dollar has a tendency to increase agricultural exports

and, thus, increase farm commodity prices,” Hurt said. “It means a favorable time for large exporting sectors like agriculture. There are good margins for the cropping sector right now. Producers should consider pricing the 2010 crop now and perhaps look at starting to price some of the 2011 crop, as well. “They also should keep in mind that the last time we had a major escalation in crop prices was 200708, when we also saw a major escalation in prices of inputs. Fertilizer, in particular, is one input that most producers might like to get prices locked in for 2011 and 2012, as a weak dollar also tends to increase fertilizer and fuel prices.”
