November 10, 2010 Benefit to be held for Wabash High School student by Danielle Smith Up until November 2007, Jacob Hughes was a regular kid. He enjoyed soccer and football and was attending Wabash High School. In 2007, when Jacob was 15, he became very ill with flu-like symptoms. His parents, Rob and Dawn Hughes, took him to the emergency room where they did blood tests and determined that Jacob was suffering from an autoimmune deficiency disorder. “They said they had to get him to Riley right away, so they took him,” said Dawn. “They told us had we brought him the next day he would not have survived.” It was determined that Jacob has a rare kidney disease that only affects one in a million children. Following the initial diagnosis, Jacob spent 55 days in the hospital and he began a treatment called hemodialysis. Eventually he was switched to peritonealdialysis, which was more convenient because he was able to do it at home overnight. In August 2010, he got peritonitis, which is a bacterial infection in his peritoneal cavity, which is where the tube for his per(continued on page 7)

Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Family Center represents new chapter for Wabash Friends Church by Shaun Tilghman As the leaders of Wabash Friends Church prepare for the grand opening of the new Family Center, they are continually reminded of how important the addition will be to the congregation, as well as the entire community. Talk of a new facility began approximately 10 years ago and on Nov. 14 the church will welcome members and the community alike to participate in the dedication of the building. According to Mike Scamihorn, church member and project manager for the construction, the need for more space began just six years after moving into the current building in 1992. “We’ve been blessed with an abundance of children and families as well as people who want to put their resources and energies into serving the community,” said Scamihorn. “Our desire was to not only add space, but to create a way to meet the needs in the community.” Lead Pastor Alex Falder added, “I think the building really is a new chapter of our church’s history. This is not so much about the building, but about the relationships that will be built in this space.” “We named the new facility the Family Center because it will provide space for parents, children, and youth,” he continued. “What that means to [the church] and the community is that we’ve chosen to put our resources toward helping parents and caregivers strengthen families in Wabash. “Children are the future – not just of the church, but of the community and the world. Our desire is to come alongside parents and support them in their children’s character and spiritual development.” Completion of the Family Center represents a long-awaited goal for the people of Wabash Friends Church. Children’s Pastor Kathy Jaderholm, who joined the staff earlier this year, has been actively involved in helping to create the children’s areas, called “Faith Street”. “From the children’s perspective we’ve had a good team of really creative people that have helped us make some design decisions,” said Jaderholm. “I joined the church in January, which was about midway through the construction, and there was already a great team working with the design process. “We’ve really tried to incorporate our philosophy of ministry into the space – making sure that it works for the mission that we want to accomplish with the kids. We want it to feel like a warm and welcoming place for people to come to, that’s why we’ve used the Faith Street idea to stress the community feel. The designs for the separate areas then sprouted from that idea.” Faith Street depicts a small town street with buildings on the wall, and a park setting complete with a make-believe pond. Along Faith Street are separate areas for each age group. The infant and toddler area is called the “Greenhouse”, and the “Clubhouse” is for preschoolers. At one end of the street is a “Treehouse” façade where kindergartners through third-graders meet. Fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders will meet in the “Warehouse”, which includes a diner area, stage and computers. “The Greenhouse is a place where we want to give kids a great start in their faith,” Jaderholm explained. “The Clubhouse is where we want kids to be fun and imaginative while getting to know who God is through play. The Treehouse – for the older kids – is based on the idea that they are inquisitive and asking questions, thus we present a place for discovering who God is. The Warehouse was chosen as a place where we could pack God’s word into kids’ hearts in order to prepare them to go out and share their faith with their friends.” Little Friends Day Care ministry will soon move to Faith Street, where the children will use the new rooms during the week. The new lobby area will feature computerized check-in systems to keep things organized.

LEADERS FROM WABASH FRIENDS CHURCH are preparing for the Nov. 14 Grand Opening of the new Family Center, which will provide additional space for parents, family, and youth. The Family Center includes a children’s area called “Faith Street” that is separated into designated spaces for different age groups. Pictured in front of the “Warehouse”, which is an area for fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-graders are (from left): Alex Falder, lead pastor; Kathy Jaderholm, children’s pastor; and Pat Byers, youth pastor. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) Just off of the new lobby area, the junior high and senior high have two new areas – one for large group activities and another for small groups, complete with a coffee bar and sitting area. They even have a new name: “Roots”, which is a theme that encourages growth as well as outreach. “We hope teens find this to be a comfortable and fun place, because it was designed with them in mind,” said Youth Pastor Pat Byers. “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. ”I think one of the things we’ll be able to do a better job of is bridging some of the gaps between the young people and the older people. We can create opportunities for those who have life experience to get involved in kids’ lives.” Jaderholm added, “We want to give our kids a strong foundation because the choices they have to face in life are hard, and they have to face those at younger and younger ages. We want them to know that their faith in Christ is something they can count on in a life that might be (continued on page 5)

Pattison trial continues with heated testimony through its second week by Danielle Smith Day 7 of the murder trial of Scott Pattison, suspected of murdering his wife, Lisa, began with Troy Worrick, manager of Carter Lumber, being called to the stand. Carter Lumber supplied roofing materials for Pattison’s business and Pattison frequently spoke to Worrick about personal matters. Worrick testified that Pattison talked of Stacey Henderson often, even describing intimate details of their relationship. He also noted that Pattison called early in the morning on the day of Lisa’s death, upset about a late delivery. He testified that Pattison called back at 3 p.m., hours after Lisa’s tragic death, still upset about the delivery. It wasn’t until the end of the phone call that he mentioned Lisa’s death. Jim McDowell, Lisa’s boss at Five Points Mall, Marion, was next to testify. He spoke of comments that Pattison made on the day of Lisa’s death, and in the days following, expressing his opinion that the police were already convinced he was guilty. Next, the jurors heard the highly anticipated testi-

mony of Stacey Henderson, Pattison’s mistress. Pattison had indicated that the affair with Henderson had ended before the time of Lisa’s death; her testimony indicated otherwise. Prosecutor William Hartley granted immunity to Henderson and she began detailing her affair with Pattison before the standing-room-only crowd in the courtroom. She testified that she met Pattison around the time of her 21st birthday and they began keeping regular contact until she began dating her future husband, Gary Henderson, a Marion police officer. At that time, she and Pattison went their separate ways. In late 2006, while Henderson was employed as chief of staff for Mayor Wayne Siebold in Marion, their paths crossed again. Pattison had come into the mayor’s office, after which Henderson attempted to make contact with him by phone. She eventually did make contact and so began a lengthy affair. Henderson testified that (continued on page 5)

Chamber announces November Blue Ribbon Business

J.M. REYNOLDS OIL CO., INC. was recently named the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce’s November Blue Ribbon Business of the Month. This family-owned, customer service oriented company has been proudly serving Wabash and surrounding areas since 1975. Pictured are (from left): Chris Reynolds, Tom Rice, Susie Rager-Moore, Jim Reynolds, Jim Grimme, and Dylan Reynolds. Employees not pictured are Sam Hipskind, Steve Rice, Don Dunphy, Tim Houlihan, Mike Sumpter, Ron Smith, Dick Allen, Ken Brodbeck, and Beth Reynolds. (photo provided)

The Membership Committee of The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce has announced that J.M. Reynolds Oil Co., Inc. is the November Blue Ribbon Business of the Month. This family-owned, customer service oriented company has been proudly serving Wabash and surrounding areas since 1975. J.M. Reynolds Oil Company’s current facility, at 395 S. Huntington St., was built in 1921, but the Huntington Street area housed as many as six oil companies and can be traced back to 1897 when oil was delivered in a horse-drawn tanker. While J.M. Reynolds Oil Co., Inc. was established in 1975 by Jim Reynolds, that certainly did not mark the beginning of his relationship with either the oil business or the location on Huntington Street. Jim worked as an agent for Standard Oil in this location beginning in 1946. In 1975 Standard Oil, then AMOCO, decided to sell the property and form independent distributorships, thus the beginnings of J.M. Reynolds Oil Company. Jim started his distributorship with two route drivers: Terry Knee, and Marlin Patee with help in the office from Frances Vair. He recruited his sons,

Ron, the current president, and Randy, into the business in 1976. Ron who was employed by United Air Lines in Fort Wayne, saw that there would be changes coming in his job and thought Wabash would be a great place to raise his children. His wife, Pam, agreed and continues to be an active part of the J.M. Reynolds Oil Company team. Ron and Pam raised four sons while building the business. All graduating from college, two

have returned to the business today: Jim and Chris. The family is quick to give credit to all their employees for the company’s continued growth and success. They have seen many changes in the industry including two major energy crises when gasoline and diesel were rationed and availability was limited. While their customer base has changed from primarily farming and residential to industrial and

easy, but the task of compiling the names was a twoyear project, researching military records, newspapers, letters, and the Internet. “Now that this project is done, we also have two names from the county, Bradley King and Scott Zubowski, to add of casualties of the Iraq War.” The names of these men and the others who have died in various wars are all listed on the “We Honor” wall, part of the larger exhibit about Wabash County’s involvement in each war. There are 548 names on the wall. A ceremony to unveil the updated memorial will be held at the Wabash County Historical Museum, 36 E.

The Culinary Arts Class at Heartland Career Center sponsored a gingerbread house competition for its 32 students. The students were charged with the assignment to design an all-gingerbread creation to be displayed and judged by the student body. Brad Luzadder, Culinary Arts instructor, said, “The students did a fantastic job. It is incredible the talent of these young people when they are asked to design and prepare a project like this.” According to Luzadder, the projects ranged from the typical gingerbread house to a rendition of the Lucas Oil Stadium and everything in between. There were actually two winners in the competition, since there is a morning and afternoon section of the class. The morning winner was Robert Coby (Peru), with his runner-up being Wesley Ply (Southwood). Coby said it took him “three days to complete the project. The hardest part was keeping his brother from eating it.” Ply said he “underestimated how hard it was. He had difficulty

getting the gingerbread pieces to stay in place.” Both students are juniors with plans to pursue a career in culinary arts after high school. Both students talked about possible post-secondary programs, most specifically Baker College or the Art Institute. In the afternoon, the defending champion, Chris Ripley (Huntington North) was dethroned by Carley Snyder. Snyder, a junior at North Miami, stated that her project took her about a week to complete. She said

“this was a fun project and even more fun to beat Chris.” She stated that this class was her main choice for her high school curriculum. She really wants to attend a culinary arts school as her post-secondary option and felt this would better prepare her for that educational track. Snyder plans on attending either the Chef ’s Academy or the Art Institute. Ripley also plans to pursue culinary arts after high school, specifically in pastries. He has several schools in mind to include the Culinary Arts Institute

of America, Johnson and Whales, Baker College or Sullivan University. Ripley won last year’s competition with a rendition of the W a s h i n g t o n Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. This year his Egyptian Pyramids fell just short of Snyder’s country farmhouse. Ripley felt that attending the course allowed him to experiment with his career choice to see if he liked it before he invested his money in college. Congratulations to all of these students for their efforts.

Flood hazard maps for Wabash County released Preliminary flood hazard maps for Wabash County have been released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), according to the DNR and county officials. When final, the maps will show flood risk throughout the county and determine whether property owners with a federal or federally insured loan are required to carry flood insurance. The first new such documents for the county in 13 years came as the result of FEMA, DNR and the county completing an extensive multiyear study of the area’s floodplains using state-of-the-art technologies and risk-modeling techniques. These flood insurance rate maps

In addition to affecting property owners, FIRMs allow community planners, engineers, permit officials, builders and others to determine if, where and how new structures and developments should be built. The preliminary maps may be viewed a t www.floodmaps.IN.g ov/ (you may experience a long download time). An open house will be held Dec.1, 4 - 7 p.m., in the Crystal Room at the Honeywell Center, 275 W. Market St., Wabash, for those who would like to learn more about how this new mapping may affect them. Stations will be set up for property owners to review the maps and discuss any concerns with engineers who are knowledgeable with the map develop-

ment process. There will be no formal presentation at the open house. Additional stations will be available during this time for property owners to obtain information and discuss any concerns regarding flood insurance or related issues with knowledgeable staff from DNR. A 90-day public comment period will start at a date to be announced by FEMA after the public meeting. During that period, property owners can submit appeals and protests. Once the feedback is received and addressed, the maps are expected to be adopted in 2011, when the new insurance requirements will take effect. The Wabash County project is part of FEMA’s larger effort to modernize the nation’s aging flood maps to reflect the most current flood risks and areas of recent growth.

Family Center represents new chapter...continued from front page changing around them. I believe one of the true strengths of this church is that it’s a multi-generational church; we’ve got a lot of older people here that are still active in the church and working with children.” Church members and community members of all ages will have their first opportunity to experience all that the Family Center has to offer during an eventfilled Grand Opening celebration. Dr. Jay Kesler, former president of Taylor University, will be featured as the special speaker during the regular church services on Nov. 14. Dr. Kesler has authored several books including: Raising Responsible Kids, Parenting Children, and Grandparenting: The Agony and Ecstasy. He will be talking about how to build strong families. “We are so blessed to be able to have Dr. Kesler join us for this important day in our church’s

history,” Falder said. “He has something for all of us, to equip us to meet the needs of families in this church and in our community.” At noon, a short dedication of the building will be held and a pork loin meal will follow. Guests will have the opportunity to look at curriculum, learn about other programs offered at the church, and find opportunities for involvement. At 1 p.m., Faith Street will be hosting a Block Party, including: balloon artist Brian Getz, a barnyard petting farm, craft activities, a storyteller, face-painting, food, and a horse-drawn hayride. Musician Keith Connor will be presenting a concert for kids at 1 and 3 p.m. For teens, there will be live music, videos, and games. The youth group will be selling pizza beginning at 5 p.m., followed by a performance from local band “Small Town”, who will open for comedian

David Dean and perform afterward as well. Dean, of 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,” Byers said. “He helps us to laugh at ourselves while also touching on the important things in life. This is one of those events teens will be talking about the next day at school.” All of the activities taking place during the Grand Opening are meant to bring people together and create meaningful bonds, which is exactly what the Family Center was created to do. “To know that this is something we’ve come together to accomplish, and to be able to visualize the programming that’s going to happen, the kids that are going to be here, and the things we’re going to be able to do in the space is pretty tremendous,” Byers stated. “This is completely

on the backs of the people that were dedicated to making it happen – they’ve made it a fun process from the beginning to the end.” Scamihorn added, “I believe that what we have engaged in doing now will have rippled effects in people’s lives for years to come. The time capsule we are assembling to seal on Nov. 14, will not be opened for 50 years. Many of us will not be here 50 years from now, but the things that we felt were important will hopefully be recognized by what they find in the time capsule and through the ministries that continue to impact families in the Wabash community. God is in the business of making a difference – we just get to be a part of helping bring those things to fruition.” Falder concluded by expressing his hope that the initial celebration will draw a variety of people from the community to share in the expe-

Pattison trial continues with heated testimony through its second week continued from front page

the relationship became romantic in mid-2007 and the pair maintained phone contact multiple times per day and met up approximately once every 1-2 weeks. This continued until 2008 when Lisa called Henderson’s husband and informed him of the affair. At this time, the relationship backed off, but it resumed in full force after a few months. Henderson testified that she was in love and the pair talked of filing for divorce of their spouses, Pattison eventually did. “I had indicated that if I was going to leave my husband it needed to be for the right reasons, not for him,” Henderson stated. On June 28, Henderson left for a Florida vacation with her husband. She lied to Pattison, telling him she was going to Tennessee with her family. She visited Pattison at his mother’s house prior to leaving for the airport, but she adamantly denied any sexual relations during that time. On July 2, at 12:24 p.m., Henderson, still in Florida, received a text from Pattison that said “911”, indicating that there was an emergency. She called immediately and, when she was able to make contact, Pattison said, “I can’t talk, I’m following the ambulance, I think Lisa’s dead.” He later confirmed her death by text message. Over the next several days, Henderson and

Pattison remained in constant contact through text messaging, Hartley reviewed each text with the jury. Henderson advised Pattison to obtain legal counsel, and inquires several times as to whether or not he had. She also expressed concern about whether he was resting and eating and continually asked if he was ok. On July 3, 26 hours after his wife’s death, Pattison asked Henderson if her husband was trying to get closer to her now that he was “free”. He repeatedly expressed this concern. The questioning of Henderson was concluded the next morning. Following Henderson, members of Pattison’s family were called to testify. His mother, Cloann Pattison, and his cousin, Amy Ingram, came across as defensive, abrasive and unsure of their testimony. The prosecution aimed to prove that Pattison’s family had facilitated communication between Pattison and Henderson during his incarceration, which they attempted to deny. Hartley presented recorded phone calls to prove his theory, at which point the women “recalled” the information. Pattison and Henderson have, undoubtedly, remained in contact during his incarceration, as proved by phone calls and letters, sent via Pattison’s

family using code names. These calls and letters capture the couple stating that they love and miss each other. Cloann’s testimony continued into Nov. 5, and was followed up by the testimony of Sharon Conrad, Pattison’s sister. Hartley questioned Conrad about her communication with members of her family, her daughter and husband in particular, who were giving her information about what was taking place in the courtroom. She claimed that they were not giving her specific information regarding the witnesses’ testimony, but general information. Hartley also addressed her phone conversations with Pattison regarding the testimony. Day 10 of the trial began with the defense’s witness, Dr. Robert Julien, an expert in pharmacology. He testified that the amount of Phentermine, a medication prescribed to Lisa for weight loss, found in her blood was .837 mg/l, average would be approximately .36 mg/l. He also testified that this drug is not commonly prescribed and that the 67 milligrams per day that Lisa was prescribed was more than two times the standard dose. His opinion was that the Phentermine, which is a stimulant similar in composition to methamphetamine, combined with strenuous exercise could have resulted in cardiac issues. Hartley combated the expert’s opinion by discussing post-mortem

Dr. Julien agreed that this could possibly have caused the amount of Phentermine in Lisa’s system to appear elevated. The defense called another doctor in the afternoon then rested their case. Closing arguments are set for the morning of Nov. 9 and then the jury will deliberate and deliver a verdict.

DAVE SPARLING poses with his most recent train project during the flea market at the Wabash County Fairgrounds on Oct. 29. The impressive structure, which is 8 feet wide by 60 feet long, took Sparling approximately 10 years to complete. He estimates that he dedicated thousands of hours to the project while investing close to $30,000 in it – including financial backing from family, friends, and local businesses.

The train club no longer meets, but even during his time as a member he never saw an individual project that compares to his current undertaking: a layout that is 8 feet wide and 60 feet long.

Benefit to be held for Wabash High School student continued from front page itonealdialysis is located. “They used a couple of really strong antibiotics, but they couldn’t get rid of the infection, so he had to go back on hemodialysis,” Dawn said. This meant trips to Indianapolis three times a week for the lengthy procedure. The peritonitis caused Jacob’s appendix to perforate, but doctors were unable to remove it due to the inflammation and infection. They continued administering powerful antibiotics until Oct. 18, when they were finally able to remove his appendix. Jacob remained in the hospital, off and on, from Aug. 6 until Oct. 29. During this time, he lost 33 pounds and much of his strength. He has been unable to attend any of his senior year and will have to graduate a year behind schedule. “We asked him about possibly doing a GED and he said, ‘No, I want to walk across the stage and get my diploma’,” Dawn said. In order to restore Jacob to average health, he is in need of a kidney transplant. He was set to get the transplant in November 2009, but due to health complications this was not possible. “We’ve been in the process this whole time of getting his body and his numbers back in line so he can be ready for his transplant,” Dawn said. The transplant is now set for February or March of 2011. “We have a donor, a lady from our church. The church found out that I couldn’t be a donor because I have kidney problems as well, so this lady volunteered and said that she really felt like God was leading her to at least be tested and see what comes of it,” Dawn explained. “She was a match and so she is going to donate her kidney to Jacob when it is ready.” Dawn and Rob outlined several life adjustments that have had to be made in order to care for their son. They explained that they are unable to plan anything in advance because they do not know what Jacob’s health status will be. They have had to cancel several events. Their family is separated because Dawn has to travel to the hospital with Jacob, Rob has to work and they have to send their younger son, Derrick, 14, to stay with someone else while they are away. Jacob’s health issues have taken a toll on the family financially as well. “The year he got sick I was off work for well over a month,” Rob said. “We were doing pretty well but then I was off and we had to use credit cards to pay for all the bills. We incurred a lot of expenses just in the first two months that he was sick.” It is also expensive to transport Jacob back and forth to Indianapolis three times a week for his treatment. Julie Baker, Carey Services, graduated with Dawn. After reading Dawn’s Facebook posts, she decided to do something to help. “Jacob’s had a really tough year and her posts just tugged at my heart because it’s like she’s lost all hope as a mother,” said Baker. “She’s watching her child suffer and be in pain and there’s nothing she can do about it.” “It’s very hard, as a parent, to watch your child, for three years, go through so much pain and suffering when he’s supposed to be having fun,” Dawn said. Baker and others at Carey Services have banded together in hopes of alleviating the Hughes’s financial burden. They are organizing a benefit to be held Dec. 4, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Washington Street Wesleyan Church, Wabash. The benefit will consist of a bake sale, silent auction and craft sale. Meals will be offered for $2.50. They are accepting donations of any kind. A bank account has been set up to receive donations at First Farmers Bank and Trust in the name of Hughes Family Benefit. For more information, contact Julie Baker or Angela Webb at 260-563-1182 or check out the benefit’s Facebook page, HughesBenefit.

Aquatic and Fitness Northfield Center groundbreaking to host plans revealed Winter Pep Session

On Dec. 4, at 12:30 p.m., a gala celebration is planned for the official groundbreaking for the new North Manchester Aquatic and Fitness Center, located at Market and 9th streets. Ten days prior to the groundbreaking – Nov. 23 at 7 p.m. – a public meeting will be held at the Performing Arts Center at Manchester High School to share the final design of the new facility. The public is invited to both events. The long anticipated groundbreaking will feature refreshments and the official ceremonial “shovels in the ground.” Michael Kinder and Sons, the contractor for the building project, will begin the demolition of the old pool building at the conclusion of the groundbreaking. The architectural firm Moake Park designed the building and is the same firm that designed the North Manchester Public Library. Citing the anticipated weather, a tent will be erected on the front yard of the old pool to protect those attending. Participants invited to the groundbreaking will include the Building Committee, the fundraising Leadership Team, the Town Council, the Parks and Recreation Board, Representatives from the Mary K. Peabody Foundation and Representatives of the Don and Billie Strauss Family. Closed in April of 2008 due to structural issues that caused the building to be unsafe, the old Community Pool had served the town and surrounding area for over 35 years. A study was conducted to gauge the attitude of the community regarding an attempt to build a new facility and, based on that study a fundraising campaign was put in place to raise private funds to build a new community center. The goals of the campaign were to build the building and then provide an endowment fund for the future major maintenance needs of the new facility. So far, $5,800,000 has been pledged toward the ultimate goal of $6,000,000+ to fund construction and the endowment. The Peabody Foundation and the Strauss Family have provided major leadership gifts that, along with over 250 other contributions, have led to the ability to start construction. Still needed are gifts to fund the endowment. While construction will begin with the demolition of the old building right after the groundbreaking, the majority of construction will not occur until next spring. Occupancy is expected to be available in the fall of 2011.

Manchester College peace studies professor and activist Ken Brown dies

ECONOMY GOT YOU DOWN? Call us to see how we can save you money! 260-563-2000 • 650 MANCHESTER AVE • WABASH, IN 46992

National peace studies pioneer and Manchester College professor emeritus Kenneth L. Brown died Nov. 3 at The Cleveland Clinic, of complications stemming from vasculitis, an autoimmune disease. The North

Manchester resident was 77. A memorial service will be planned. Dr. Brown was a nonviolent activist and educator for peace and justice. For 25 years, he directed the nation’s oldest peace studies

program at Manchester College, serving as a consultant to peace studies programs across the country and around the world. He led study teams to Vietnam, Brazil, Northern Ireland, Haiti, Thailand, India, Jamaica, C o l o m b i a , Nicaragua, Mexico and Cuba. “Ken was an amazing man,” said President Jo Young Switzer. “For decades, his name was synonymous with our Peace Studies program. His students grappled with big questions and ambiguities. We respected him for all that and more. We are deeply grateful for the good life and example of Ken Brown.” Even after retirement in spring 2006, Dr. Brown continued to teach. He and his wife Viona hosted weekly discussions for students in their home since his arrival at Manchester in 1961. Their daughter, Dr. Katy Gray Brown, a 1991 graduate, is assistant professor of philosophy and

peace studies at Manchester, and a son, Dr. Michael P. Brown, a 1994 graduate, served as assistant professor of philosophy from 2005 to 2007. Another son, Christopher Brown, owns LifeMed, an ambulance company in North Manchester. In 2005, Brown received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Peace and Justice Studies Association. More than 300 colleges and universities are members of the group. On the 40th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s final campus speech at Manchester College before his assassination, Dr. Brown told the audience: “I like to think that he left this place strengthened a bit by kindred spirits who found staying power from his inspiration to carry on in his absence, until his dream comes true. May it be so.” An ordained minister in the Church of the Brethren (one of the historic peace churches), Brown

founded several organizations, including Brethren Action Movement and the War Tax Resisters Penalty Fund. In 1980, Dr. Brown assumed the leadership of the college’s Peace Studies Institute and Program in Conflict Resolution, an interdisciplinary curriculum that continues to integrate study of conflict resolution, global studies, religious and philosophical bases of peacemaking with nonviolence theory and practice. Elaine Zoughbi, who has worked for enduring peace in Palestine for decades, and Yvonne Dilling, whose work on behalf of human rights in Central America has received international acclaim, say Brown inspired them to lead lives of active service for peace and justice in challenging international settings. “Ken’s class transformed my life,” said Robert C. Johansen, a widely respected expert on international relations and global governance. “We sensed that we were children of the universe, standing on an ethical foundation that transcended race, nation, and our time in history, gently breathing the air of immortality.” Johansen, who studied under Brown in the early ’60s, is director of doctoral studies and senior fellow with the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame.

Ag economist: Higher feed costs mean pricier meat in 2011

It costs a lot more this year to feed meat animals corn and soybean meal than it did just a few years ago. By the end of 2011, meat eaters will be forking out more money as well, a Purdue University agricultural economist says. Rising grain prices are pushing feed costs higher for U.S. livestock producers, said Chris Hurt. With feed making up as much as 60 percent of a livestock producer’s costs, beef and pork producers are expected to reduce their herd sizes or leave them unchanged next year. Poultry farmers could increase production slightly. That all adds up to sticker shock for consumers – especially those who eat beef, Hurt said. “When we look at the period prior to 2007, corn prices were averaging closer to $2 a bushel and we saw retail prices of beef average about $3.84 per pound,” Hurt

said. “Now corn prices are around $5.50 a bushel, and we’re projecting for 2011 that we’ll reach about $4.65 a pound for beef.” Three primary factors are contributing to the rapid increase in corn prices, Hurt said. As incomes rise in developing countries, people are buying more food. Also, the biofuels industry continues expanding and using more corn. And the weak U.S. dollar encourages larger corn purchases by foreign buyers who can afford to outbid domestic buyers for U.S. grain. “Production has been a concern, as well,” Hurt said. “We’ve already got very tight supplies of corn, and now this fall we see corn yields in the United States dropping below trend levels. There was anticipation even into August that we were going to be above trend.” Beef producers are

adjusting cow numbers downward to offset the feed cost increases. U.S. beef cow numbers are expected to reach about 31 million head later this year, down from about 35.7 million in 1996 when herd numbers began declining. Hurt projects U.S. beef production will dip another 2-3 percent in 2011. There have been periods of expansion and contraction within the hog industry for years. The coming year should be one of relatively little change in production for pork producers, who are dealing with extreme feed prices, Hurt said. Fortunately, average hog prices should be at or somewhat above average production costs through most of 2011, he said. “We had been thinking that the pork industry could expand in the range of 1-2 percent next

year, but with the great uncertainty about feed costs, I think we’re actually going to see that industry pretty close to unchanged, or up at most about 1 percent,” Hurt said. Poultry producers – specifically those who raise broilers – could see their production up as much as 2 percent in the year ahead, Hurt said. The broiler industry is bumping up production to grab greater market share among the animal species. Hurt said that strategy demands more feed, which could pull grain prices even higher. Although high feed prices are a threat to many in the livestock industry, producers can take steps to weather the economic storm, Hurt said. “If they can get the average price in terms of buying their feed ingredients for 2011, most producers can at

least come close to breaking even and paying all of their costs,” he said. “They should diversify their buying strategies over time. “The second important message is don’t expand production. If we keep our production about like it is now, I think we’ll be able to get through the year without major losses. Then we’ll see what the 2011 crops bring – perhaps a moderation in feed prices and a clearer

picture of whether

we can expand.”

about life and death and making the most of every moment. Harry Witherspoon (Adam Smith) lives a quiet and boring life in England where he works in a shoe shop and lives with nosey neighbors in a small flat. He is continuously attacked and annoyed by dogs and has a great hatred for the animal. One day he receives a telegram informing him that his Uncle Anthony (Brandon Chaplin) has died unexpectedly and his left him $6 million. Harry learns that this is a catch to his inheritance though – he must take his uncle’s body on vacation to Monte Carlo as if he is still alive. While on this interesting and stressfilled vacation, Harry meets Annabel Glick (Alicia Ratcliff) who follows him around all week. Annabel is also in line for Anthony’s inheritance, but only if Harry fails to follow any of the instructions left for him. Also following Harry are Rita La Porta

(Shannon Brown) and Rita’s brother, Dr. Vinnie Du Ruzzio (Gabe Hoagland). Rita was Anthony’s girlfriend and Vinnie has been framed for stealing $6 million dollars from a gangster. These two have teamed up to try to get Anthony’s money and save Vinnie’s life. We meet a few other interesting characters along the journey, including Louigi Gaudi (Cody Haupert) who manages to be

wherever Harry happens to be, and have many ridiculous and crazy experiences with a dead body and a life yet to be lived. This show will keep you laughing and still teach you to live every moment to its fullest. Ensemble cast members include Lexi Gatzimos-Reed, Kalie Ammons, Alexandria Schuck, Cameron Gibson, Andrew Marks, Kaeley McGlothin, and Melissa Newsome.

This show couldn’t be completed without a stellar crew made up of Mary Jo Harrell, Makinzie Hoagland, Austin Sommers, Taylor Jaynes, Alexis Hilton, and Codie Sorrell. This show is directed by Laura Wagner, a 2003 Northfield graduate. Come see the show and support Wabash County fine arts. Performances are Nov. 11-13 starting at 7 p.m.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to travel to a different country for a year? Kathy, a foreign exchange student from Germany, is going to give her answer to that on Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. at the Senior Center. She is attending Wabash High School this year and staying with the Jeff Galley family. Thousands of students from all over the world participate in the foreign exchange program each year. Kathy will explain the processes it takes to be in the program, what is different in the United States, and what it means to her to

be here participating in the exchange program. Hal Job, Chairman and CEO of Frances Slocum Bank in Wabash, described his reaction to participating in a Joint Conference as a humbling experience. The Joint Conference is sponsored by the Secretary of Defense. The organization’s main function is to increase the public’s understanding of national defense by giving civic leaders hands on experience of how the military operates. After this once in a lifetime experience, Hal decided that one of his future goals is to speak at local schools and busi-

nesses so that a wider variety of people can hear his story. Hal will share his experience Nov. 23 at 1 p.m. at the Senior Center. He will have a power point presentation along with different objects that he collected throughout his adventures. He will also be showing many pictures of all of the different experiences he embraced. You won’t want to miss this unique experience! To make your reservations for either or both of these programs, call the Winchester Senior Center at 563-4475 or stop by the Senior Center to sign up. The

The Oak Ridge Boys and Cirque Dreams Holidaze will help ring in the holidays when they visit the Honeywell Center in Wabash this November. WWKI welcomes The Oak Ridge Boys: The Boys Are Back For Christmas on Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. Sponsored by Pefleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm Equipment and DRP Company, the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 21st annual Christmas Tour will offer hits like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elviraâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobby Sueâ&#x20AC;? with a mix of traditional and religious Christmas classics. Ornaments come to life when Cirque Dreams Holidaze performs two shows on Nov. 23 and 24 at 7 p.m. Marvel at gingerbread men flipping through the air, toy soldiers marching on thin wires, balancing snowmen, penguins spinning, puppets caroling and reindeer soaring high above a landscape of holiday wonderment, all to the sound of an original musical score with holiday favorites.

One of the oldest and most beautiful homes in Huntington is again available for public use, as its 150th anniversary is being observed. The 4,400-square-foot brick Greek Revival house was completed in 1860 for the family of Samuel Purviance, an early merchant and organizer of the First National Bank. After serving as a private residence for the Purviance family for many years it was used as a youth annex for the Nazarene Church, a bed and breakfast and, most recently, Elizabethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tea Room. The Tea Room closed in 2009 and since then the house has been refurbished. A surprising number of original features include a winding staircase of solid cherry, intricate parquet floors, ornate plaster designs of floral wreaths and garlands, four fireplaces, each with a unique design including tiles of imported majolica,

Wabash City Police seize methamphetamine lab

On Oct. 28, Charles F. Geiselman, Wabash, was arrested for numerous methamphetaminerelated charges and felony possession of marijuana. A multi-agency investigation headed by the Wabash City Drug Task Force and Indiana State Police Officer Josh Maller yielded a large quantity of what local police have identified as methamphetamine, an operating clandestine methamphetamine lab and evidence indicative of ongoing drug use or production in the home. Geiselman had been a person of interest to the Wabash Drug Task Force, Indiana State Police and Peru’s Drug Task Force for several months. The investigation is ongoing and may yield additional arrests. Assisting agencies include the Peru Police Department Drug Task Force and the JEAN Team of Grant County and Marion City. Police warn that methamphetamine use is on the rise and there are numerous cooks in Wabash and surrounding counties. A methamphetamine lab is not elaborate and may be hidden or concealed in a backpack or large handbag. The hazards of methamphetamine reach further than to those using or cooking it, they include anyone exposed to the area it is manufactured.

Wabash County represented by 21 TRC All-Conference football selections Coaches from each team in the Three Rivers Conference recently submitted their votes to award All-Conference selections based on performance during the 2010 TRC schedule. Twenty-one student-athletes from Wabash County were named to the teams – six to the First Team, seven to the Second Team, and eight were selected as TRC All-Conference Honorable Mention. Earning first team honors were: Justin Parker, a senior wide receiver at Northfield High School. Parker led the Three Rivers Conference in receptions, snagging 37 passes for 566 yards. Seven of those catches were for touchdowns, with a 15.3 yard per catch average. Larry Chain, a senior running back at Southwood High School. Chain finished fourth in the conference in total rushing yards, amassing 851 yards on only 117 carries – a 7.3 yards per carry average. Chain rushed for 15 touchdowns and also finished eighth in the conference in average net punt, with 31.7 yards per kick for the Knights. Preston Penrod, a junior running back for the Manchester Squires. Penrod, the lone underclassman from Wabash County named to the first team, led the TRC in rushing yards. On 146 rushing attempts, Penrod totaled 1,022 yards, a seven-yard per carry average. He was the only running back to top the 1,000 mark during conference play, and chipped in nine touchdowns to fuel the Squires attack.

Dean Sparling retires after 36 years of teaching

School buses have been rolling and students have been back in the classrooms for almost half of this school year, but after 36 years of teaching Dean Sparling, Wabash, did not return to the classroom this year. He spent his first four years teaching fourth graders at Swayzee Elementary, and the rest of his years were spent educating third graders; first at Swayzee and then the last six years at Sweetser. Sparling was able to take early retirement for health reasons because of an incentive given by the Oak Hill United School Corporation to teachers. He misses the chance to impact young lives but does not miss the increasing paperwork and state requirements. Sparling was honored by family, friends, co-workers and past and present students when his family hosted a retirement open house for him on

May 22 and at a party at Sweetser Elementary in late May. Also, Debbie Jung, whom he first taught fourth grade with, hosted a luncheon in her home. Individuals he had worked with at Swayzee that retired

before him honored him at the Jung home. Sparling plans to spend time taking care of his health and enjoying his family that he adores. He is married to Rosa, a teacher at Southwood High School. He has two children Angela (David) Christopher, Wabash, and Matthew (Dara) Sparling, Fort Wayne, and two small grandchildren, Jade and Clay Christopher.

THANK YOU to Larry and Linda Harrington for taking down the flag behind the Urbana headstone during the high winds last week. MOODLE: Last week I told you in my school news that I would explain “Moodling” and encourage any parents who are not familiar with this term to check it out. Moodle stands for “Modular ObjectOriented Dynamic L e a r n i n g Environment”. It is an open source course management system now used by thousands of educational institutions (including those in Wabash County) around the world to provide an organized interface for e-learning, or learning over the Internet. Moodle allows educators to create online courses, which students can access as a virtual classroom. A typical Moodle home page will include a list of participants (including the teacher and students) and a calendar with a course schedule and list of assignments. Other Moodle features include online quizzes; forums, where students can post comments and ask questions; glossaries of terms; and links to other Web resources. Because Moodle is open source, or freely distributed, it can be an attractive alternative to commercial elearning options. Since I do not have any children in the Metropolitan School System at this time and do not have the ID number or a password needed to log on to the site, Sharp Creek Principal Mr. Snyder showed me how it works. Several teachers in the MSD system both on the elementary and high school level are using it. Ask your child to show you how it works and remember to check into the MSD website frequently to keep abreast of what is going on. That site i s

SHARP CREEK WILDCAT PRIDE had a double winner drawn on Oct. 29 – K a r s y n Bratch. Karsyn was nominated by Mr. Snyder and Mr. McWithey for holding the door open for other students as they entered the building and saying “Thank You” at lunch. Karsyn won a sandwich and fries from Arbys. URBANA FIRE D E PA R T M E N T : November is the month we remember and honor those who serve others including our local volunteer firemen.

fundraising efforts and committee volunteers will be on hand to answer questions. Refreshments will be available as well. Relay For Life is the Society’s signature event, dedicated to increasing awareness and raising funds to fight cancer. Teams of family, friends and co-workers camp out overnight, taking turns walking the track. During the Relay For Life event, participants and vistors will have a chance to: celebrate the victory of area cancer survivors during the Survivors Lap; remember those we have lost to the disease during the poignant Luminaria Ceremony; and participate in the Fight Back Ceremony that gives everyone a chance to proclaim their way of taking action against the disease. The North Manchester community should be proud of their support of this event. In fact, the 2010 Relay For Life of North Manchester was one of only 42 teams awarded with the All American Relay Award from the American Cancer Society. This is quite an honor for a Relay For Life event that is

only in its third year. We are hoping to build on that recognition and momentum with another strong event in 2011. But, we need the support of the North Manchester community. As 2011 Relay For Life North Manchester Event Chair, Lisa Ulrey, says, “Relay For Life is an important fundraiser for our community because so many people have been affected by cancer. We have come together as a community to honor those that have lost the battle as well as support those who are currently battling the disease. A cure for cancer must be found.” Donations can be made to this local Relay For Life event by visiting www.relayforlife.org/ northmanchesterin. Community members can also start or join a team by following the links to our local Relay event on www.relayforlife.org/ northmanchesterin. The 2011 Relay For Life of North Manchester will take place from 3 p.m. on April 29, 2011, to 9 a.m. on April 30, 2011, at Manchester College. For more information on how you can get involved or about the kick-off event, contact Lisa

Ulrey at 260-982-7672 o r lkulrey@frontier.com; or Dawn Reed at 260982-4028 or dawnlreed@hotmail.com. The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than 3 million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this

year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800227-2345 or visit www.cancer.org. ARE YOU NEW TO TOWN? Did you just have a baby? Did you recently become engaged?

Honeywell Golf Course needs competitive pricing Meredith Horn and Tyler $499 for unlimited play, $11.50 for cart. These are quality courses, every bit as nice as Honeywell. If you are not a member, after Labor Day make the greens fees $20 per day, unlimited play. If you pick up an extra 20 players per day by doing this in the offseason, that could generate an extra $12,000 per month revenue; again, better than sitting empty. It’s a competitive market out there and the people are going to go where the deals are. Honeywell had better gear up accordingly for Spring 2011. More than anything, you have to have friendly people in the pro shop that let the customer know that they’re glad they chose Honeywell. You have to bow the customer in and out, after all, the money they are spending is what pays your salaries. If you don’t make them feel welcome, your competitors will.

Finally, do we need a golf management company from Indianapolis to oversee the upkeep of the course at a big fee? We got along without them for 60 years. Many times my friends and I drive 30 minutes to nearby courses where the rates are competitive

He also recommends that hunters enter the TIP hotline number into their cell phone speed dial for easy access to TIP hotline operators. Salb encourages those with information about wildlife or pollution violations to contact the Turn In A Poacher hotline at 1800-TIP-IDNR (1-800847-4367) or through the TIP website at www.tip.in.gov.

Dear editor, I’ve played at Honeywell Golf Course for 60 years and it saddens me to drive by and see it virtually empty daily. Then I drive to Mill Creek Golf Course in Rochester on the same day and it’s packed. Our course is not a country club anymore; it’s a public course; it’s not unique anymore; it’s like others in the area. Country clubs and golf courses are failing all over the Midwest; it’s survival of the fittest. Honeywell needs an unlimited play package that people can afford. It would be better than the course sitting empty all summer. Make a package available similar to other courses in the area. Rozella Ford Golf Course in Warsaw has an unlimited play package for $499 and a one-time cart fee of $15, no matter how many rounds you play per day. Mill Creek Golf Course is

Local high schools participate in the Teen Safe Driver Pledge program

Northfield and Wabash high schools are two of more than 375 schools throughout American Family’s 19-state operating territory participating in the Teen Safe Driver Pledge, an online pledge by teen drivers, parents or other community members that establishes safe driving expectations. By participating in the program, Northfield and Wabash earned an automatic cash prize from program sponsor American Family Insurance and are in the running for larger cash prizes based on the school’s number of pledges. Northfield and Wabash families and other members of the community who wish to express their commitment to safe driving can learn more

about the program and enroll at www.teensafedriver.c o m / p l e d g e . Information was also presented at two home football games. “For a new driver, that first driver’s license comes with a sense of freedom but also a great deal of responsibility,” said American Family Insurance Agent Lynn Huber, who is working with the schools throughout the program. “The Teen Safe Driver Pledge helps raise the level of awareness about driving safety throughout the entire community.” Huber presented both Northfield and Wabash with a check for $900. Participating schools also can earn $15,000 if they are the top school in one of three

enrollment tiers based on the number of pledges received. In addition, individual participants can qualify for prize drawings, regardless of the school’s overall ranking. The program is open to teen drivers and anyone age 14 and older that supports a teen driver – parents or guardians, other family or friends, or anyone in the community committed to the goal of improving safety on our roads. The Teen Safe Driver Pledge high school contest runs through Nov. 24. The top three schools in participation rates will be announced in December. Drawings for individual prizes – including iPads, flip video cameras and iTunes gift cards – end Dec. 31. The program sup-

plements American Family Insurance’s existing Teen Safe Driver Program, which is available at no cost to all American Family auto insurance customers who have beginning drivers in their household. Introduced in 2007, in association with DriveCam Inc., the Teen Safe Driver Program provides teens and their parents an in-vehicle video and audio unit that captures risky driving behaviors. Parents log in to www.teensafedriver.c om to view the driving report card, video events and coaching tips, including objective, third-party assessment of the teen driver’s driving performance compared with other teens.

ISP makes 356 DUI arrests in statewide campaign

On Oct. 22 and 23, between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., the Indiana State Police conducted a statewide driving under the influence enforcement project. Enforcement personnel throughout Indiana were assigned to this detail to aggressively seek and arrest impaired drivers. Impaired driving remains one of America’s deadliest problems. According to the National Highway Traffic S a f e t y Administration, in 2008, 37,261 people were killed nationally in motor vehicle crashes. That same year, 11,773 people were killed in crashes that involved a driver or motorcyclist with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. That means every 45 minutes someone in the United States died in a crash involving an impaired driver. In Indiana, in 2009, there were a total of 189,676 crashes, 8,855 of them were alcohol related. The purpose of the two-day enforcement campaign was to remove impaired drivers from Indiana roadways before they caused needless pain, suffering and death to innocent victims. The Indiana State Police is committed to reducing the number of impaired driving crashes. As of Oct. 1 the Indiana State Police has made 7,195 impaired driving

arrests. In 2009, troopers arrested 9,395 impaired drivers, a 34 percent increase over 2008. Statewide, the twoday enforcement campaign resulted in 356 impaired driving arrests. Troopers also issued 3,242 traffic

citations and 6,018 written warnings. Officers also made 370 arrests for various criminal violations. In the Indiana State Police Peru District there were 24 impaired driving arrests made. Officers issued 262 traffic cita-

tions and 467 written warnings. Motorists are encouraged to report suspected impaired drivers by calling 911. Give a vehicle description, location, and direction of travel. Never follow an impaired driver.

tion, education and patriotism. This year the founding of the National Society will be celebrated by presenting the annual C h r i s t o p h e r Columbus Essay Contest Winner with the annual award during wreath laying ceremonies at the C h r i s t o p h e r Columbus statue in Washington, D.C. The National Defender was read by Marjorie Stoffer. Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer Minus, U.S. Army, wrote that as of Aug. 24 the United States was nearing fewer than 50,000 service members stationed in Iraq. For the service members left in Iraq, though, it had the effect of ensuring that Operation Iraqi Freedom closes out with honor and success, and it also threw off violent extremists who did not believe the United States would keep its commitment to re-deploy forces out of Iraq. These two measurers set the stage for the inspiring change of command ceremony held in Al Faw Palace, Baghdad, on Sept. 1 to mark the change from Operation Iraqi Freedom to Operation

New Dawn. Presiding at the ceremony were Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and in attendance were hundreds of Iraqi civil and military leaders along with Lieutenant Colonel Minus. Regent Wright reminded members that their dues are now due. Regent Wright announced the C h r i s t o p h e r Columbus essay contest with “Lessons from Christopher Columbus’ Life” being the theme for 2010-11. All grade 9, 10, 11 and 12 students in a public, private or parochial school or those who are home schooled are eligible. The entries must be received by Jan. 8, 2011. If additional information about the contest is needed, please contact any DAR member. Linda Kuester, a member of the General Francis Marion chapter from Marion, gave a most interesting and informative program about The Harvey Girls. Her mother was a Harvey girl shortly after she graduated from high school.

Fred Harvey pioneered a series of Harvey House restaurants on the Santa Fe Railroad trail. Trains would stop, allowing passengers to get a good meal for a reasonable price in clean surroundings. The Fred Harvey Company would recruit women via newspaper ads from towns and cities across the United States. The women had to be of a good moral character, have at least an eighthgrade education, display good manners and be neat and articulate to work in his restaurants. In return for employment, the Harvey Girls would agree not to marry and abide by all company rules during the term of employment. If hired, they were given a rail pass to get to their Company chosen destination. Harvey Girls were the women who brought respectability to the work of waitressing. Customer service was always first. The women left the protection and poverty of home for the opportunity to travel and earn their own way in life while experiencing a bit of adventure. Mrs.

Kuester’s mother worked at LaPosada in Winslow, Ariz. It closed in 1957 and has been restored and reopened as a historical hotel. Jacob Weaver, Indiana state president of the Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.) will be the guest speaker for the November meeting. He will tell members about “Loveaway”, a therapeutic horseback-riding center. That meeting will be held Nov. 9, 7 p.m., at the Blocher Room at the North Manchester Public Library. Who is eligible for membership in the DAR? Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership. DAR volunteers are willing to provide guidance and assistance with your first step into the world of genealogy. More information can be obtained at www.dar.org by clicking on “Membership” or by calling 765-9812612 or 260-563-4461.

Farmland values remain high in local areas Aggressive bidding by a capacity crowd of landowners and investors drove the price of Clinton County farmland to $1.8 million dollars. The October auction of 309 acres conducted by Halderman Real Estate Services reflects continued strength in the farm real estate market. Based upon recent sale prices, and the 2010 Purdue Farmland Value Survey, land values showed a strong increase. According to the August Purdue Ag Economics Report, Indiana farmland averages between $3,500 per acre and $5,300 per acre depending upon quality of land and location. Per the survey, for the 12-month period ending June 2010, there were increases in all three land qualities. “Right now, we want people to understand that now is a great time to sell,” explained Pat Karst, vice president of

Halderman Farm Management. “We have noticed in addition to the report issued by Purdue show the value of farmland has remained strong, that there has been a strong market as well.” “Just this past Thursday in Denver, 58 people came to an auction for a small 50 acre farm,” Karst continued. “We are seeing across the area, that the supply of available, quality farm ground on the market is down, but the number of buyers on the market is higher than in years past making it an attractive time for potential sellers to sell.” Local area sales results are reflecting the reported trends. Recent Halderman auctions have produced the following results: 143 acres of High Percentage Tillable Land including a Limestone Home in Daviess County sold for over $5,700 per acre.

In Clinton County, 157 acres of excellent farmland rated as highly productive went for over $7,200 per acre. In Wabash County, 139.66 acres of farmland, with Home and Outbuildings, sold over $6,300 per acre. “These sales are representative of many we’ve conducted throughout the state this year,” stated Howard Halderman, President of Halderman Farm Management and Real Estate Services, Inc. “Land values leveled out during 2009 due to the financial crises and declining commodity prices. However we saw renewed strong demand for farmland in 2010 from farmers as well as investor landowners.” “In fact in Wabash County we recorded the highest farmland sale in history at $6,300 per acre. Input prices were down to more traditional levels, yields for corn and soybeans were above average and

commodity prices remain at historically high levels. This fuels the demand for farmland, an investment class that survived the financial crises with little decline, if any,” Halderman added. Dealing almost exclusively in rural, farm and transitional land, Halderman Real Estate Services, Inc. sells over 175 tracts of land for nearly $45 million and appraises 450 rural properties annually. The Halderman companies have provided 80 years of service to landowners throughout Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and eleven other states. In addition to real estate services, Halderman Farm Management currently manages 250,000 acres on 650 farms. If you have a farm real estate need or question, contact Halderman Farm Management and Real Estate at 1-800-4242324 or www.halderman.com.
