November 17, 2010 Southwood students honor Veterans For several years, fifth-grade students at Southwood Elementary have been honoring our veterans on Veterans Day with a program and refreshments. This year, a generous grant from the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County purchased digital video cameras and equipment, and students were able to videotape an interview with a veteran of their choice. These interviews will be archived at the Wabash County Historical Museum and clips were made into a cumulative movie that was viewed at the Veterans Day program. The convocation included American Legion Post 15 color guard. Veterans and their guests attended the convocation along with the third, fifth and sixth grade classes.

York family honored as 2010 Wabash County Farm Family of the Year

THE WABASH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE recently announced that rural Roann residents Mark and Chris York were selected as the inaugural recipients of the Wabash County “Farm Family of the Year” award. Pictured are (from left): Chris York; Mark York; Howard Halderman, president of Halderman Land Management; and Kim Pinkerton, Chamber president. (photo by The Paper staff) by Shaun Tilghman In an effort to recognize the contributions of the agricultural sector to both the economy and way of life of Wabash County residents, the Wabash County of Chamber Commerce has established an award to honor a family that represents the best qualities of a local farm family. The inaugural recipients of the “Farm Family of the Year” award are rural Roann residents Mark and Chris York. “Chris and I feel that it is a great honor to be selected as the first outstanding farm family for Wabash County,” Mark said. “We feel honored that Wabash understands the value of agriculture to the county and appreciates what we bring to the county. It’s an endorsement that what we are doing is accepted; being nominated by our neighbors speaks volumes.”

The Yorks have been actively involved in the production scenario of farming for approximately 20 years. Their farm, operating as River Bend Farms LLC, is a 12,000-head wean-tofinish (which are 10pound pigs up to market) pork operation. Chris, who has a business degree from Central Michigan University, worked as a banker until she met Mark and made the decision to manage the farm. Mark also works full-time as a salesperson for the largest contractor and manufacturer of hog equipment, Hog Slat Incorporated. The couple stays very busy with the farm, but they always make time for their sons, Parker, 10, and Liam, 6. “We prioritize a lot and Chris and I use a lot of teamwork,” Mark added. “Her past experience as a banker has been very valuable in terms of us operating a fairly large business. The

good thing about Chris was that she entered the hog barns without any preconceived ideas on how to do it, so the integrator that we grow for essentially taught her how they wanted to raise pigs – she does an extremely good job with wean-to-finish pigs. “We also have two very good employees that help out quite a

bit: Craig Hacker, from North Manchester, and Adam Starkey, from Peru. We have 12,000 pig spaces – Chris and I take care of about 8,000 and our employees take care of the other 4,000 – and we make sure to basically get into every single pen because animal care and food safety are paramount. We’re not just producing

pigs we’re producing food, and we take that challenge very seriously.” According to Mark, they’re doing business in a setting that involves people less aware of the work they are actually doing. Thus, they place a lot of emphasis on reaching out to their neighbors in the county. “It’s a total must that

we reach out to our neighbors,” he continued, “without good neighbor relations what we do probably wouldn’t be able to happen. The facilities we have are essentially closed off from other people just walking into them and when people can’t walk into a facility, fear of the unknown tends to set in. What’s important (continued on page 5)

Great American Smokeout to take place Nov. 18

Not long ago, nonsmoking airplane passengers had no choice but to breathe clouds of smoke as other passengers lit up cigarettes in the next row. Restaurant patrons smelled acrid tobacco smoke along with their meals, and many employees in shared workspaces had to share air clouded with second-hand smoke. This casual acceptance of smoking was the norm when the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout went nationwide more than 25 years ago in November 1977. That quarter century has marked dramatic changes in the way society views tobacco promotion and tobacco use. Many public places and work areas are now smoke-free which protects nonsmokers and supports smokers who want to quit. The Great American Smokeout has helped to spotlight the dangers of tobacco use and the challenges of quitting, but more importantly, it has set the stage for the cultural revolution

in tobacco control that has occurred over this period. Because of the efforts of individuals and groups that have led anti-tobacco efforts, there have been significant landmarks in the areas of research, policy, and the environment: - In 1977, Berkeley, Calif., became the first community to limit smoking in restaurants and other public places. - In 1983, San Francisco, Calif., passed the first strong workplace smoking restrictions, including bans on smoking in private workplaces. - In 1990, the federal smoking ban on all interstate buses and domestic flights of six hours or less took effect. - In 1994, the state of Mississippi filed the first of 24 state lawsuits seeking to recuperate millions of dollars from tobacco companies for smokers’ Medicaid Bills. - In 1999, the Department of Justice filed suit against cigarette manufacturers, charging the indus-

try with defrauding the public by lying about the risks of smoking. - In 1999, the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) was passed, requiring tobacco companies to pay $206 billion to 45 states by the year 2025 to cover Medicaid costs of treating smokers. The MSA agreement also closed the Tobacco Institute and ended cartoon advertising and tobacco billboards. - In 2009 “The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act” was signed into law and gives the FDA the authority to regulate the sale, manufacturing, and marketing of tobacco products and protects children from tobacco industry’s marketing practices. “Those are just a few of the remarkable changes in the age-old acceptance of smoking as our cultural norm. What we have been doing can be characterized as the denormalization of smoking as an acceptable behavior, and positioning it for what it actually is – a killer of nearly half

a million Americans every year,” said Dileep G. Bal, MD, MS, MPH, national president of the American Cancer Society. An estimated 46 million adults in the United States currently smoke, and approximately half will die prematurely from smoking. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for men and women and more than 80 percent of lung cancers are thought to result from smoking. Smoking causes nearly one in five deaths from all causes. The American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout event grew out of a 1971 event in Randolph, Mass., in which Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high school scholarship fund. In 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Monticello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first D-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day. The idea caught on, and on

Nov. 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society succeeded in getting nearly one million smokers to quit for the day. The first national Great American Smokeout was held in 1977. During the next 34 years the Smokeout was celebrated with rallies, parades, stunts, quitting information and even “cold turkey” menu items in schools, workplaces, Main Streets and legislative halls throughout the U.S. The Great American Smokeout has been chaired by some of America’s most popular celebrities, including: Sammy Davis, Jr., Edward Asner, Natalie Cole, Larry Hagman, Surgeon General C.

The City of Wabash and Wabash Marketplace Inc. were recognized at Indiana Main Street’s annual award ceremony, held Nov. 5, during the organization’s statewide conference. The Charlie Creek Inn was selected as “Best Historic Rehabilitation Project”. This Historic Rehabilitation project went through a multi-million dollar rehabilitation to restore the original 1920 Hotel Indiana to its glory. The Charley Creek Foundation operates the Hotel and the commercial spaces on the first floor. This includes the Green Hat Bar, a restaurant called Twenty, an ice cream and chocolate shop, a wine and cheese shop and Hoosier Salon Art Gallery. Ratio architects partnered with Rowland Design to rehabilitate the building back to its original use while updating, enlarging, and modernizing the rooms. Indiana Main Street is a statewide program that encourages the revitalization and restoration of downtown areas in Indiana cities and towns and provides a variety of services, like technical assistance and educational opportunities. Indiana Main Street is administered by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA).

One killed, five injured in Monday afternoon crash

A CHAIN REACTION ACCIDENT claimed the life of Roger Prater, 58, North Manchester, and sent three more to Parkview Hospital, Fort Wayne, via Samaritan Helicopters. A preliminary investigation led by the Indiana State Police found that a northbound semi ran into the back of the other vehicles, all waiting in the northbound lane for a INDOT flagger to clear the southbound lanes. (photo by Brent Swan) Nov. 15, at approximately 1:51 p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, and the Wabash Police Department responded to a multiple vehicle crash on SR 13 south of 200N, in which one person was killed and five

others were injured. Preliminary investigation by Indiana State Police Sergeant Mike Tomson revealed that a work crew from the Indiana Department of Transportation was conducting road-sealing work on SR 13. Traffic on SR 13 was reduced to one lane on the two-lane

road. A flagman had northbound traffic stopped with southbound traffic having the right of way. Brandt Shambarger, 47, North Manchester, was driving a 2009 Freightliner semi-tractor, pulling an empty box trailer, northbound on SR 13. He failed to stop

for traffic and plowed into a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica, which was waiting in the northbound lane for the flagman to clear southbound traffic. This caused a chain reaction crash, with the Pacifica striking a 2005 Chevrolet Venture minivan. The minivan rearended a 2003 Hyundai Elantra, which in turn rear-ended a 2003 GMC Sierra pickup truck. The Freightliner then jackknifed and came to rest off the westside of SR 13. All of the vehicles involved in the chain reaction crash were waiting in the northbound lane for the flagman to clear southbound traffic. Shambarger was not injured in the crash. The driver of the Chrysler Pacifica, Wanda Frehese, 74, Urbana, was airlifted

York family honored...continued from front page for them to realize is we’re producing food in these barns, which is our livelihood, and we have to protect the pigs. “What we’re doing out here is at a larger scale than what it was 15 to 20 years ago, but we’re doing the same things that people’s fathers and grandfathers did. We’ve got extremely good neighbor relations with neighbors that handle the [manure] we generate here – we don’t own a tremendous amount of acres so having good neighbor relations with people that own ground around us to spread the [manure] on is a necessity for our operation to function properly.” The Wabash County Farm Family of the Year award was open for nomination from the public and selection was based upon farming practices and community involvement. Along with local honors, the York family will now be eligible for recommendation as the statewide Indiana Farm Family of the Year. Wabash County Chamber of Commerce President Kim Pinkerton said, “The York family’s commitment to the agriculture industry is evident in

their operations as well as their service in organizations such as Indiana Pork, Wabash County Farm Bureau, 4H and other groups. “They have continued to educate others about modern livestock production and how we get our food, and the Yorks work hard to broaden support for ensuring a supply of protein rich food to food bank services. It is truly an honor for the Chamber to recognize their quality of operations and exceptional level of service in promoting the agriculture industry.” Committee members for the Farm Family of the Year selection process included: Howard Halderman, Halderman Farm Management; Darin Hadley, Wells Fargo Bank; Rob Pearson, Wabash County REMC; Curt Campbell, Purdue Cooperative Extension Service; Ron Pettit, North Central Co-op; Mike Rees, The Paper of Wabash County; and Wabash County Chamber of Commerce staff. “We are proud to announce that the Mark and Chris York Farm is the Wabash Chamber of Commerce’s 2010 Farm

Family of the Year,” said Howard Halderman, president of Halderman Land Management. “The Yorks operate a professional, large scale swine production operation in an efficient and profitable enterprise,” he continued. “They are also active in organizations, such as the Indiana Pork Producers, that further the cause of their industry and educate the general public about today’s agriculture. Their operation is an excellent example of farming in 2010!” Mark concluded, “The State Director of Indiana Pork has used this analogy in terms of our farm: ‘We produce about 25,000 pigs annually at River Bend Farms LLC. A person consumes about 50 pounds of pork annually and one pig will produce about 200 pounds of yieldable meat, so these basic figures show that essentially we would be feeding 100,000 people each year’. “People embracing agriculture as where their food comes from is important. We want to produce food as cheaply as possible in order to pass that on to

the consumer but more regulations and restrictions do add to the cost of what we do out here. People have to know if we’re regulated out of business then food prices consequently go up, but we don’t want that to happen.” The York family will be recognized for their achievements during the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce’s Salute to Agriculture banquet on Jan. 31, 2011, at 6:30 p.m., in the Wabash County REMC community room. The banquet will feature a dinner, catered by Poole Meats of Wabash; a presentation to the York family, with a brief video of their farming operation; and humorous entertainment by Tom Turpin, entitled “The New Good Old Days”.

by Samaritan Helicopter to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne. She suffered a broken ankle. Two passengers in the Pacifica, Monica Harrell, 43, Roanoke, and Marcia Summers, 43, Urbana, were also airlifted to Parkview Hospital. Harrell suffered broken bones in her back and a broken bone in an arm. Summers received stitches for a head injury. The driver of the Hyundai Elantra, Vicki Ley, 55, Leesburg, was transported by ambulance to the Wabash County Hospital with neck pain. The driver of the GMC Sierra, Phillip Hill, 44, Swayzee, was transported by ambulance to the Wabash County Hospital with a complaint of pain. The driver of the Chevrolet Venture, Roger Prater, 58, North Manchester, succumbed to injuries suffered in the crash. Prater was not wearing a seat belt.

LaFontaine Singing Santas to be featured on television LaFontaine Singing Santas are one of the 15 choirs who will be featured on “Sounds of the Season” on Indiana’s NewsCenter TV stations, ABC 21 ALIVE, NBC 33, MyTV and Ft Wayne CW. The 37 girls from LaFontaine Elementary, grades 26, drove to Sweetwater Sound Studios, Fort Wayne, on Oct. 28 to be taped for the upcoming TV show. Singing Santas performed two songs, “Frosty Hand Jive” and “Santa Medley”. Ellie Hobbs and Jayda Barnum were featured soloists and first-grader Bailey Wyatt was featured baton twirler. Even though it was a cold and windy day, the town of LaFontaine had a festive send-off for the girls. Good luck signs and banners were hung in town and on the phone poles along HWY 218. Even the school bus had a Santa Hat tied to the front. Families stood by the road waving to the girls as the bus drove by. Singing Santas want to thank Dan Dale for driving bus; the 10 moms who dec-

Food facility operators cautioned about false FSIOS Food facility operators need to be aware and informed about the possibility of individuals impersonating a Food Safety Inspection Officers (FSIO) and unlawfully entering their facility. These individuals may request to schedule an inspection of the premise, request detailed business and personal information from the owner/operator, and may request a return phone call to confirm the personal information through the use of a unique code number. Throughout the country, including Indiana, there have been reports of imposters extorting money and acquiring personal

information from food facility operators. The purpose of this information bulletin is to make you aware of your rights as a retail food facility operator as well as to instruct you how to recognize a legitimate FSIO. Under the Retail Food Establishment S a n i t a t i o n Requirements 410 IAC 7-24-108(a): “After the regulatory authority presents official credentials and expresses an intent to conduct an inspection, investigation or to collect food samples, the person-incharge shall allow the regulatory authority to determine if the retail food establishment is in compliance with

this rule by allowing access to the establishment…” An FSIO should have with them at all times a valid ID and business card. If you are approached by someone claiming to be an FSIO and you feel they may not be an employee of the regulatory agency they claim, take the following steps to ensure that they are not an imposter: Ask for a valid photo ID and / or business card that show(s) they work for the regulatory agency they claim; Contact the local health department and / or Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) to verify that they are a current

employee. The Food Protection Program at ISDH may be reached at 317-233-7360; If the individual is not able to provide a valid photo ID and / or a business card and the regulatory agency cannot confirm that they are a current employee, contact the local law enforcement agency. The impersonation of a public officer is a criminal offense. Anyone found impersonating a health inspector or any government employee is guilty of a felony crime. Under no circumstances should a food facility operator give money to an FSIO employee outside of the regulatory agency facility. All fees are collected either through billing or collected at the agency office. If an FSIO ever demands cash on site during an inspection, immediately become suspicious and contact the regulatory agency or local law enforcement. If you have any further questions regarding identification of FSIOs or retail food facility enforcement contact your local health department at 260-563-0661 ext. 249 or

Rural Indiana says yes to smoke-free laws Support for comprehensive smokefree 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 I n d i a n a 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 pro-

vide 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.

Cub Scouts raise money through popcorn fundraiser Dear editor, Cub Scout Pack 3430, chartered by the Wabash Friends Church, collected money from the community during their annual popcorn fundraiser. This money was divided into Military Donations on the order forms of those scouts that participated. They collected $1,225 resulting in forty-nine $25 dollar donations. Trail’s End takes these military donations and sends popcorn to military troops around the world. We would like to thank the four local businesses that allowed us to set up booths to collect donations: Big R, Kroger, Wal-Mart, and Marsh. We would also like to thank the Wabash Rotary Club for inviting two of our scouts to take popcorn orders from Rotary members prior to a couple of their meetings during popcorn sales.

MRA Chili Fundraiser a huge success Convention and Visitors Bureau to hold public forums Dear editor, Tourism is big business in the State of Indiana, but what does that mean for us in Wabash County? How does that affect our communities? Our way of life? As an industry, tourism is growing in Wabash County at a steady pace. In the last five years more people have been coming into our county for our great attractions, our wonderful restaurants and our fabulous hotels. Statewide, more than 62 million people come to Indiana to enjoy our parks, museums, sporting events, and local culture. Have you noticed any of these people in your community? More than $10.36 billion is spent annually by Indiana visitors – that’s a huge economic impact for our state, and for our county! In order to capitalize on this, the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau Commission wants to develop a road map by which our marketing and promotional efforts are driven, and as an integral member of our community, we need your input. We want to hear from you! And to accomplish our goal of creating a communitybased marketing plan for tourism in Wabash County, we are embarking on a new type of venture: The Listening

Project. The Listening Project is the first step in a large initiative to develop a tourism identity that will brand Wabash County both internally and externally. As an organization we know that we cannot move forward until we gain more knowledge about what the citizens of Wabash County value and want from their Convention and Visitors Bureau. Therefore, the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau is hosting The Listening Project at four community venues throughout Wabash County. The Listening Project will give community members an opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns about tourism in their individual community. This is our chance as your Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau to gain precious information we might not hear in any other context; knowledge about our shared community that we can absorb and use as a compass to guide the CVB goals and services. Your attendance is vital! The dates and locations of the Listening Project are: Nov. 18, 5:30 p.m., Lagro Community Building Nov. 23, 5:30 p.m., Roann (location to be determined) Nov. 29, 5:30 p.m., North Manchester Public Library, Blocher Room Dec. 6, 5:30 p.m., Wabash (location to be determined) If you are unable to participate, but wish to offer comments in writing, please send to Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau, 36 E. Market St., Wabash, IN 46992. This is your turn to give Wabash County a voice, and we are listening! Whitney Myers, Executive Director, Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau

Dear editor, The Manchester Recreation Association (MRA) held a chili fundraiser at the Scout Hall on Nov. 6. The event went wonderfully as the community and businesses stepped up in support of the baseball and softball facility for the youth of North Manchester. The event was a great success and would not have been possible without the financial support of many generous businesses and the individual efforts of many volunteers. Thanks so much to the following businesses for making financial contributions: William Hankee, DDS, Wetzel Insurance Agency, Square Pixel Studio, and POET, supporting the event at the Platinum Level (highest contributing level). McKee Mortuary, Dr. Dan Croner, Phone Line, Inc., Abresist, Nettleton Educational Services, North Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Cinergy MetroNet supported at the Gold Level. Butterbaugh’s One Stop, Seifert’s High 5 Sports, Schutt Sports (through Kory Rupley), Manchester Clinic, LLC, and Harting Furniture supported at the Silver Level. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. The board also owes a big thank you to Pizza Hut and NewMarket for providing napkins, spoons, plates, and bowls for the event, and to Tony Miller and the HF Group for making and providing the sponsorship signs. Thanks so much to the Parks and Rec. Department for allowing us to host the fundraiser at the Scout Hall. The MRA wishes to extend sincere appreciation to all the individuals who provided chili or a dessert (and both in some cases) for the event. Your contributions allowed the MRA to pull this event off at no cost whatsoever to the MRA, ensuring that all money raised would be profit! And lastly, thank you to the community for attending the dinner. Your help and contributions will allow us to start planning for the 2011 ball season. MRA Board of Directors

Community Foundation participates in national effort to highlight collaboration, innovation and philanthropy During the week of Nov. 12-18, C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County will join more than 700 community foundations across America for C o m m u n i t y Foundation Week activities. For more than 20 years, the effort has raised awareness about the increasingly important role of these philanthropic organizations in fostering local collaboration and innovation to address persistent civic and economic challenges. During the week, C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County will host the annual luncheon and meeting on Nov. 17 at the Charley Creek Inn, Wabash. The event

is sponsored by First Financial Bank, Dawes and Pugh, LLC, First Merchants Bank, Crossroads Bank and Investment Center of Crossroads Bank. Community foundations represent one of the fastestgrowing forms of philanthropy in the United States and hold nearly $50 billion in assets, according to Foundation Center. Every state in the U.S. is home to at least one community foundation – large and small, urban, and rural – that is advancing solutions to a wide range of social issues. Although community foundations make up only 1 percent of all U.S. grantmaking foundations, they

account for more than 10 percent of all foundation giving. These organizations are growing globally. The W o r l d w i d e Initiatives for G r a n t m a k e r Support estimates that nearly 1,500 community foundations operate in more than 50 countries. “America’s community foundations are on the frontline of a tremendous shift in philanthropy and how we do business differently in a high-tech, rapidly changing world,” said Steve Gunderson, president and CEO of the Council on Foundations. “These organizations are leading the change by bringing communities together, galva-

nizing resources, and maximizing their impact to advance the public good.” Launched in 1989 through a proclamation by former President George H.W. Bush, the first C o m m u n i t y Foundation Week included a congressional briefing about the work of community foundations throughout America and their collaborative approach to working with the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to address community problems.

LaFontaine students receive “pat on the back” As part of the school district’s new PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) initiative, LaFontaine Elementary is announcing their “Pat on the Back” winners for the first nine weeks. PBIS aims to get the whole school community – students, staff and parents – focused on positive behavior, thus hopefully minimizing negative behavior. LaFontaine Elementary’s PBIS goals were named “The Falcon 4”. They are: Respect, Responsibility, Safety and Determination. At the beginning of the school year, students were trained on the proper behaviors and procedures in high traffic areas of the school – cafeteria, restroom, gym, hallways – as well as each classroom. That way, the whole staff and student body is speaking a common language when it comes to how to function on a daily basis. Those students who are caught doing positive acts are given a “Pat on the Back”. One copy of their slip goes home, another earns them a lunchroom treat, and the other copy of the slip is posted on a bulletin board for all to see. At the end of each nine weeks, one name from each grade level is drawn, and winners get to enjoy lunch in the “Falcon’s Nest”, a relaxed, fun, special place to eat lunch with a buddy. Students receiving “Pat on the Back” slips first nine weeks were: Kindergarten: Brody Griswold, Morgan Lloyd, Elijah Staggs, Zeb Herring, Marcus Funkhouser, Kaden Rody; Grade 1: Rylee Barney, Aron Plummer, Grant Holloway, Chad Wyatt, Logan Roby Lyons, Gauge Finton, Keerstin Miracle, Bryce Wyatt, Abby Fouts, Sidney Williams, Alexis Garret, Paine Owen, Autumn Culver, Izak Richards; Grade 2: Alex Farr, Mariah Wyatt, Jayden Timmons, Madelyn Cole, Holly Gillespie, Alivia Lucas, Dawson Filip, Brody Shepherd, Gabrielle Yellen, Zak Sarll, David Siler, Cody Swan, Persephine Lee, Jacob Sullivan; Grade 3: Dillion Filip, Tyler Heath, Grant Wittam, Isaiah Reed, Jarrett Rhamy, Ariel Bennner, Carson Heath, Luck Kirk, Braden Barney, Gabe Lloyd, Anne Ridgeway, Teddy Pruitt, Kayla Denney, Tres Lambert; Grade 4: Zach Miller, Clayton Wells, Holly Coffelt, Marcus Mathew, Lisa Garret, Quentin Perry, Monica Coffelt, Colby Crow, Deandra Warner, Leshly Lopez; Grade 5: Michael Garrett, Mathew Nose, Chase Guenin, Christian Stone, Hannah Miller, Ellie Hobbs, Eliana Rodriguez, J.D.

Dillard expresses concern over natural gas charge increase Dear editor, The Nov. 5 Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, page 8, says, “NIPSCO plans to change its rate design for residential customers and separate fixed monthly service cost can change greatly.” The result will be a $6.36 to $16.00 increase to the monthly gas delivery and service charges. Those charges are before you pay what is on your gas meter going into the house. Get your gas bill out and you will see delivery charge, storage charge etc. This shows where you are getting gassed big time. It is like going to gas up your car. You pay the pump price and then suppose they charged you a delivery charge, storage charge, etc. amounting to more than the gas costs. My current bill from NIPSCO shows 16 therms of gas at $.66/therm cost $10.56 yet my gas bill totals $22,84. My electric company, Duke Energy, charges just what is on the meter. Write your state representative before they increase $6.36 to $16.00 for something you have no control over. Bernie Dillard Wabash • • • • • • •

National FFA Convention golden for North Miami members and alumnus

THE NORTH MIAMI FFA DAIRY TEAM finished fourth at their national event recently held in Indianapolis. Pictured are (from left): Coach Glen Jones, Sarah Correll, Andrea Pfaffenbach, Brantley See and Katie Wilcox. (photo provided)

Fourteen members of the North Miami FFA Chapter traveled to Indianapolis for their national convention and to compete in national contests for both Dairy Evaluation and Poultry & Egg Judging. The judging teams qualified to compete in these career development events by winning first place in their respective state contests last spring. Vern Hawkins, a North Miami FFA alumnus, ended a very successful year at the helm of the National FFA Foundation Sponsors’ Board. During his high school days he was an active member of the North Miami FFA chapter. Hawkins credits his FFA experience and Keith Overton, his FFA advisor, for developing his interest in agriculture as a profession. He attended Purdue University and entered the work force in crop protection sales upon graduation. Hawkins has risen to the position of president of Syngenta Crop Protection, NAFTA. The National FFA Foundation is the fundraising arm of the FFA. During Hawkins’ tenure as board president, the foundation set a record of over $14.5 million in giving to the foundation. These funds are used to help FFA members achieve their goals at the local, state and national levels. Contributions help to make career development events, conventions, numerous scholarships and a variety of other FFA activities available to FFA members throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Members of the North Miami FFA Chapter were honored to attend and assist with the foundation’s annual banquet held at the Indiana Historical Society Building. The North Miami FFA Dairy Team also struck gold finishing fourth in their national event against state winning teams from throughout the nation. Pacing the North Miami team was Sarah Correll, who finished fourth individually in the competition. Sarah was joined by Brantley See, Katie Wilcox and Andrea Pfaffenbach. The contest is much more complex than those they had won to qualify for this event. The contest included linear scoring of live cattle, sire selection and pedigree analysis classes, a management exam covering genetics, marketing, physiology, reproduction, nutrition, breeds and records analysis, in addition to the placing and oral reasons classes that are a part of our local events. The poultry and egg event also tests the student’s knowledge of the many aspects of the poultry industry. In this contest students grade poultry carcasses and parts, as well as eggs for both interior and exterior quality. They evaluate further processed products, such as tenders or nuggets, and they place classes of live birds and give oral reasons to justify their decisions. Teams are awarded gold for placing in the top 1/3, silver for the middle or bronze for the lower 1/3. The team of Josh Staker, Ashley Vincent, Nicole Donaldson and Holly Manns ended up in the silver award category. Glen Jones, FFA advisor, was pleased with the convention experience. Jones felt that all of the members had an enjoyable time, learned more about the agricultural industry and careers that are available, and formed long lasting memories of their interactions with over fifty thousand FFA members from across the nation.

Richvalley United Methodist Women met Richvalley United Methodist Women met recently in the Wilson Room of the Richvalley United Methodist Church. President Pam Smith opened the meeting with thoughts about abundant life and giving from Response magazine and ended with prayer. Patty Cooper presented the lesson on missions. The question was asked: do we give to foreign missions such as China, Thailand and Indonesia or do we support local missions due to job losses and other hardships? Local missions named were F.I.S.H., the Access, Helping Hands, L.I.F.E. Center, Lighthouse Mission, Area 5, Youth Service Bureau, Harvest Fellowship, food pantries in surrounding towns and the Senior Center. Many examples were given how these missions help hurting families. The need is great. None of the organizations give out cash. Responsible stewardship was stressed. Matthew 25:35-41 was read and a hymn of prevenient grace was sung. To finish the lesson, members turned in their thank offerings. Roll call was answered by 15 members with a verse on thanks. Joan Day, treasurer, reported the 2010 pledge to district has been paid in full. Members voted to leave the 2011 pledge to district the same as in 2010. Cindi Price led the discussion of Deuteronomy. One word to describe this book of the Bible is law. Members are to read the book of Joshua for the next meeting. Cards were signed for Delores Richards, Ken and Marcella Hively, Carolyn Maxwell, Bonita Kirtlan and Vickie Thrush. Members signed up to be 2011 lesson presenters and monthly hosts. The next meeting will be Dec. 1, 6:30 p.m., for the annual holiday carry-in dinner. Pam Smith will give the lesson and hostesses will be Ruth Dyson and Cindi Price. Roll call response will be a Christmas memory. Jane Long gave closing devotions about four stages of life, success and harvest and she concluded with prayer. Hostesses were Joan Day and Jean Snapp.

The third season of The Paper’s Big Buck Contest, started at a somewhat slower than expected pace as hunters throughout

the area found hunting conditions difficult for the past month. As is often the case, however, the first weekend of firearms season quick-

ly changed that. Laura Enix jumped to the lead in the women’s division with her 143 7/8” buck, putting her ahead of Molly

For more information on the auction site, and what it is about, Whiteside said to visit the website and take a look. “We’re hoping to draw people to the website so they can see for themselves what we have to offer. Currently we have over 100,000 registered voters, and it’s only going to go up.” To reach Whiteside at the Bid-R-Done office, call 765-633-3103.

MEMBERS OF THE WABASH CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT accept the 2010 Healthcare Hero Award from Theresa Galley, chairman of the board for Wabash County Hospital Foundation. This is the first time in the award’s history that it was given to a unit rather than an individual. There are 31 men on the department, 22 are certified paramedics. In the past year, the Department completed 444 fire runs and 2,227 EMS runs along with 2,600 hours of training. In May 2009, an accident response by the Department was chosen as an ideal case study for Parkview Hospital Trauma Center’s annual Trauma Symposium, Fort Wayne. It was selected due to the excellent emergency care and teamwork of all emergency units involved. The firemen also perform countless hours of community service, sometimes on their own free time. The Department was nominated for the award by Sandy Boone, Metropolitan School District’s nurse. (photo by Harold Chatlosh)

Chili for Charity sets records in eighth year Ivy Tech Wabash donates more than $2,300 to Wabash County United Fund

W a b a s h Cannonball Chili for Charity’s annual one-day fundraising event was held Oct. 16 at Paradise Spring Historical Park and had approximately 7,000 people in attendance. Among the 117 participating teams were cooks from as far away as Utah and Texas; sponsors estimated nearly 1,300 gallons of chili were served. A match p a r t n e r s h i p between Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity and Wabash County United Fund will allow for the distribution of a record setting $60,000 to the 10 non-profit organizations that have been selected to benefit from this year’s chili for charity event. This is $32,000 more than what was awarded last year. W a b a s h Cannonball Chili for Charity is led by a committee made up of local community

members who dedicate their time to the execution of the event. Those committee members include, Steve “Bo” Bowman, Nancy Bowman, “Wild Bill” Gerding, Todd Titus, Marc Shelley, Robert McCallen III, Vicki Williams, Steve Weir, Wade Weaver, Julie Denniston, Jewell Truman, David “Smitty” Smith, Joe Eddingfield, Alan Miracle, Kenny Benge, Jessica Rupchock, J.P. Hall, Whitney Myers, and Christine Flohr. The group begins meeting monthly from May to June and then meets weekly from July to October, with a few follow-up meetings after the event. “Serving on this committee is extremely rewarding despite the amount of time and effort it takes to pull off a one-day event of this magnitude,” said Jewell Truman, a committee member for the last seven

years, “There are so many worthy organizations, and being able to help them help the community makes all of our hard work worthwhile.” In addition to being able to allocate $60,000 to charities, “Wild Bill” Gerding, of Market Street Grill, donated (72) cases of left over soda to The Access and (12) cases of bottled water to the American Red Cross. “This community has always been good to me and my business and I believe in the importance of giving back,” Gerding added. “In the end we all benefit when we support each other.” An awards reception will be held Nov. 18 at Market Street Grill where the benefactors from the chili cook-off event will find out the amount of money they will receive. The selected recipients are: Wabash County

Ivy Tech Community College students, faculty and staff presented a check for $2,341.39 to Wabash County United Fund on Nov. 11 as a result of its campus-wide campaign drive to raise funds for the organization. The total eclipsed the college’s $1,500 goal by 56 percent. The campaign, which ran from Oct. 18 to Nov. 1, was the first of its kind on the Wabash campus. Organizers had fun with the fundraising campaign by offering a T-shirt drawing for students who gave more than $5 and by offering a pizza party to the class that donated the most.

REMEMBERING ROANN: A painting of the Stockdale Mill was recently donated to the holdings of the Roann Public Library by Mr. Arnold Freitag, Colorado. It was painted by Charles H. Byron in 1975 based upon a photo which accompanied the painting to Roann. It is said Mr. Byron painted murals in the Colorado Capitol Building. The painting will be on permanent display at the library. Mr. Freitag attended school in Roann from 1932-34, and fondly recalls his visits to the library to read Zane Grey, Tom Swift and the Bobsey Twins books. (photo provided)

Crafts, baked goods and homemade History Hunters to discuss Eel River Battles noodles available at bazaar We learned in our history books about the Revolutionary War battles at Saratoga and Yorktown. We are told about the War of 1812 being fought in the East and at New Orleans. But these wars were fought on the frontier of the Northwest Territory as well. How close to Wabash County did military action come?

When did British troops pass through what is now Wabash? What expeditions of the American army saw our county? What five engagements were fought on the Eel River? These questions will all be covered Nov. 18, at noon, in a talk by Joe Krom during the History Hunters event at the Wabash County Historical Museum.

If you want to sharpen your gardening skills and you have an interest in sharing your knowledge with others, Purdue University has the ideal program for you. Beginning Jan. 4, 2011, a Purdue Master Gardener Program training series will be offered for residents of Wabash County and surrounding areas. The Purdue Master Gardener Program is a volunteer training program that provides a learning framework for participants to increase their knowledge on a wide variety of horticultural subjects. In turn, participants volunteer, representing Purdue University. As volunteers, participants grow by sharing knowledge while providing leadership and service in educational gardening activities within their communities. Training will be held on Tuesday nights, 69 p.m., in the Charley Creek Gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Education and Resource building at 551 N. Miami St., Wabash. Participants will be exposed to a wide range of subjects: herbaceous ornamentals, woody ornamentals, composting, home lawn care, soil and plant science, pesticide safety, home gardening, landscape management and fruit production. While the class will be encouraged to create new educational outreach programs, there are already plenty of opportunities for which volunteers are needed. Some of these projects include the staffing information booths at gardening events, teaching public education classes and speaking to local clubs and organizations. If you would like an application to join our league of volunteers or have questions about the program contact Curt Campbell, Wabash County Courthouse, 1 W. Hill St., 260-563-0661 ext. 245 or by e-mail at cecampbe@purdue.edu. Applications will be accepted until Dec. 10.

Area golf course under new ownership, management The WALDO intended to be “player-friendly at any age”

BILL UNGER, manager of The WALDO, formerly Highland Hills Golf Course, is working with new owner Mike Brandt on plans to revitalize the par 60 course located along SR 15 in Roann. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) by Shaun Tilghman It was just a few months ago when Bill Unger took over as manager of the former Highland Hills Golf Course, 5162 W 900 N, Roann, but already he and new owner Mike Brandt have plans for revitalizing the course, which is now known as The WALDO. “This wasn’t really something that we planned,” said Unger, “but one day I got a call from Mike and he said, ‘Hey, I bought a golf course’. Mike is a very communityminded individual but he’s not all that outgoing in the way he does things – he prefers to do things for Wabash without a lot of people knowing.” According to Unger, there have been rumors circu-

lating as to whether or not the land would continue to be used in the same manner of business, but he wants to assure people that it will continue to operate as a golf course where people can come and feel at ease. “In my opinion, The WALDO is the most affordable and playable par 60 course within a 40mile radius,” he added. “With just three par 4 holes on each nine this is an ideal course for beginners, ladies, and families. You will find The WALDO to be extremely playerfriendly at any age.” Unger went on to say they are still in the planning stage regarding many aspects of the operation, but also said they are not intending to try to compete with other larger

courses in the area. “There are several good golf courses in this area, but I strongly believe this course is unique in what it offers,” he continued. “The greens here are in great shape, however the course will need several upgrades. We’ve already begun reconstructing cart paths and cleaning up trees, and we’ll be replacing all the markers, pins, flags, and ball washers.” Prior to becoming the manager of The WALDO, Unger had dealt mainly in landscaping and turf construction; he had also been a contractor for several courses, which consisted of working with turf and tree planting. Taking over the course at this point in the season presents both positives and negatives, according to Unger.

On one hand they will have plenty of time in the off-season for renovation of the course and its facilities. On the other hand this creates a longer time period in which significantly more money will be outgoing than incoming. As of now the course is still open and in the transition they even inherited a Senior League that continues to take place on Mondays and Wednesdays. “We’ve really tried to open our arms to those players and in return we have seen an increase in league participation,” Unger said. “We also plan to cater to H.O.G. [Harley Owners Group] members, with hopes of getting involved in poker runs and rides in the area.” With Mike also

owning Brandt’s Harley-Davidson in Wabash, some of the planned renovations include a HarleyDavidson theme. “The Brandt name is establishing itself in Wabash, in the state of Indiana, and in the Midwest,” Unger added. “This course is another means of branching out, thus we thought that renaming the course was appropriate – Waldo is Mike’s middle name and was also his father’s name, so there is a lot of heritage there.” The 18-hole golf course was first opened in 1961 and offers approximately 3,775 yards of play from the longest tees. Along with upgrades to the course, plans are being made for upgrades to the clubhouse and lounge, one of which will be Internet availability. For more information about The WALDO, contact the clubhouse at 260-9822679.

THIS PICTURE IS IN MEMORY of Muffin, a cat that truly lived his nine lives to the fullest. Muffin, who had his own passport with picture and proof of shots, traveled to more countries than most people. He was born in Botswana, Africa, on Oct. 20, 1990. He went to Capetown, Africa, in 1994, the United States in 1996, Armenia in 1998, back to the United States in 2000, on to Kosovo, then to Kazakhstan in 2001, and back to the United States in 2002, where he retired from international travel and where he died on Oct. 31. His owner, Alan Mattern, a former Urbana resident, has been a senior communication consultant for Adam-Smith International, a company based in London, England.

Snell celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary with a cake baked by Sharon Gilbert and a Dairy Queen ice cream cake provided by President Luke Hunt. All Lions Club members as well as Street Light Committee members (Renee and Lexus Biehl, Romi, Tori, and Selena Plath, Karen Wilson, and Michael and Bonita Snell who are also Lions Club members) and the Ambassadors for Christ Sunday School class from

the Urbana Yoke Parish were thanked for all of their help and hard work. Thank you notes were read from the principals at Sharp Creek, Metro North and Northfield for the Urbana Lions Club contributions to each of those schools. President Luke Hunt attended the MSD School Board meeting on Nov. 9 to receive a thank you from the MSD school board. A thank you was also received from the Indiana Lions Foundation for Lion Joe Adams and his wife, Barb, Lions Mary Ann and Marvin Mast, and Chris and Sharon Newhouse for working 12 shifts at the 2010 Indiana State Fair. The money earned by these workers goes to the Indiana State Lions F o u n d a t i o n projects. Local clubs can then in return receive grants money from the State Foundation for local projects. Motions were made and passed to give donations to the Urbana Street Light Committee, the Ambassadors for Christ Sunday School Class and the United Fund.

Recommendation was that quotes be obtained on what it would cost to remove the old poles and replace them with new ones before any action is taken. Members present were: Joe Adams, Ron Anderson, Eldon Biehl, Max Chamberlain, John Eltzroth, Bob Frieden, Sharon Gilbert,

Morgan Hobbs and Cherokee bring World Championship back to Indiana

by Brent Swan Morgan Hobbs, a rural Miami County resident, recently participated in the UKC Performance Pack W o r l d Championships held in Ohio. Hobbs, along with his canine companion, Cherokee Krimson Moon, or simply Cherokee, as she is known by many, took on over 160 dogs from throughout the country during the two-day event held in Ohio, Oct. 23 and 24. The Performance Pack World Championship is a gathering of the world’s best beagle trial dogs, which then compete for ultimate supremacy. “We go out in a group of five dogs,” Hobbs said. “You get an hour to jump a rabbit, and the format judged is the dog’s jump abilities and check abilities. Checks are when the rabbit zigzags or throws the dog for a loop, the dog can pick it up and go with it.”

Judging in the W o r l d Championships is done in the field, with judges running with the dogs; Hobbs was relegated to working as a handler for the competition. “The first time out, I was really worried,” Hobbs said. “It was really hot and dry for this time of the year. We went for 57 minutes and didn’t jump anything. In the last three minutes, she jumped a rabbit, and shut the other dogs out. That put her into the next round.” Coming into the contest, Hobbs said he was confident, yet admitted he still managed to find himself a little nervous. “It never really dawned on me that winning was a possibility, but I had a good feeling going into it,” Hobbs explained. “I think it was because a friend who had won it last year told me leading up to the contest that he believed it might be my year. He

said the tracking had been bad it’s more Cherokee’s type of running and said to bring it back to Indiana.” With each round that passed, Hobbs and Cherokee found a way to get into the final grouping. “The final round was quite a show, it ended up down to three dogs left, one from West Virginia, another from Indiana, and Cherokee,” Hobbs said. “With 20 minutes to go, the other dog from Indiana got picked up, if you get too many minuses you get picked up and you’re done.” It was after the third placed beagle was removed that Hobbs felt Cherokee had captured the championship. “I really feel like she won it in those last three minutes,” Hobbs explained. “Cherokee kept in the lead, in the brush, and shot out of there like a cannon. I knew she had more checks from

the judges, but the other dog had jumped better, so I really didn’t know how it would shake out. “When the judge announced the second place winner, it was a huge sigh of relief,” Hobbs said of the announcement. “It really didn’t set in though until I got home.” Hobbs originally got involved with trial dogs through co-workers at Container. His first big win was in 2009 when he captured the national championship with Cherokee. It was around the national championship that Hobbs said he knew his dog had what it takes to be something special. “A good friend of mine told me a while back that you could have the best genetics, but if you keep your dog in the kennel, you’ll never do very well,” Hobbs said. “You always have to work with the dog to be successful.”

MORGAN HOBBS recently claimed the UKC Performance Pack World Championship Oct. 23 and 24 in Ohio, with his dog Hobbs’ Cherokee Krimson Moon. Cherokee was selected as the best out of 163 dogs at the event. (photo by Brent Swan)

Expanded tax options give farmers more flexibility W E S T LAFAYETTE, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New and expanded tax incentives for farmers and small businesses provide more flexibility in tax management this year, says Purdue Extension agricultural economist George Patrick. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creating Small Business Jobs Act of 2010â&#x20AC;? offers a larger Section 179 expensing deduction of up to $500,000 for tax years 2010 and 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Section 179 allows a taxpayer to deduct or expense part or all of the cost of an asset in the year of purchase, rather than depreciating the cost over several years,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Section 179 deduction is typically limited by the amount of qualifying assets acquired or the taxable

income of the taxpayer, but it provides great flexibility in managing taxes.â&#x20AC;? Most depreciable assets qualify for the 50 percent additional first-year depreciation, which was extended to include qualifying property placed in service between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2010. What this means, for example, is that farmers who purchased property for $50,000 can take $25,000 as additional first-year depreciation. They also can take the regular depreciation on the remaining $25,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The property eligible for additional first-year depreciation is broader than that eligible for Section 179,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, a shop or machine shed qualifies for the

additional first-year depreciation but does not qualify for the Section 179 deduction. Both Section 179 expensing and additional first-year depreciation result in faster cost recovery for producers, which helps stimulate economic growth.â&#x20AC;? For 2010, selfemployed individuals can deduct the cost of health insurance for both income and self-employment tax purposes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This puts the employee and the selfemployed on a more level playing field with respect to the after-tax cost of health insurance,â&#x20AC;?
