10X to open in Wabash Firm expected to create 26 jobs by 2021 By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com 10X Engineered Materials LLC, a clean-tech science and engineering startup company, plans to establish operations in Wabash County, creating 26 new, high-wage jobs by 2021, state, local and company officials announced Monday morning, July 9. The firm will be located in the former Spiece Warehouse building, 1162 Manchester Ave.

“Indiana’s reputation as a hub for innovation continues to grow as hightech companies like 10X choose our state for growth,” said Elaine Bedel, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). “Our talented workforce and business-friendly environment make Indiana the best place to start and scale a business. We’re excited 10X has chosen Indiana for growth and look forward to seeing the new technologies they develop and jobs they create in northeast Indiana.”

Local officials have been working with company officials for about a year to convince them to locate here, according to Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County. “We originally were focused on a different building that ended up selling in the meantime, and then we worked to find an additional suitable location that worked for them,” Gillenwater told The Paper of Wabash County. “The state and city have been great partners, not only from the economic development aspect,

but also with supporting state permitting that was necessary, a zoning variance through the Wabash City BZA and many others. “We have a great team here working to make this project happen, including Bob and Kristi Lundquist, Rick Fisher, Doug Lehman and others. It really was a team effort to get them here to Wabash.” Mayor Scott Long said, “This announcement by 10X Engineered Materials is welcomed, and is a culmina(continued on page 2)

Nancy J to be honored by state guild By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A Wabash business owner will receive the 2018 Lifetime Achievement Award later this month from the Indiana State Quilt Guild in Marion. Nancy Barrows, better known as Nancy J, will receive the honor during a ceremony Thursday, July 19, at the Marion Public Library. Activities are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The ceremony is one of several events slated during the annual quilters celebration, scheduled for July 19-21 in Marion. “My first response was I’m not old enough for a lifetime achievement award,” Barrows said with a laugh. “It’s nice to be recognized, but I do so humbly. I do what I do because I like to do it, not for awards.” Barrows is a leader in the quilting

community in many ways, according to the event brochure. She has assisted Rosalind Webster Perry in her early work of establishing the Quilters Hall of Fame. She also serves on the advisory committee of the gathering, an event which takes place in Central Indiana. She also helped create the Kokomo One Stop Shop Hop, which brings quilting businesses together to help quilting enthusiasts be able to shop at different locations without having to travel great distances. “It is clear to the board of the ISQG that Nancy J has made a significant impact on Indiana quilters and beyond,” according to the brochure. Barrows opened her store, Nancy J’s, in 1980. It was about four years later when she began doing quilting seminars. “It just seemed to be a better track,” she said. “People would drive further for fabric for quilts. The skills involved in

making clothing versus making quilts is open to more people. “We slowly kind of transitioned.” Barrows said she would enjoy making quilts, “if I had time,” admitting, “I don’t get to sew much.” According to the 2017 Quilting in America Survey the quilting industry is a $3.7 Billion industry. The survey estimates there are 710 million quilters in the U.S.; 6-8.3 million households with a quilter, and an average of $442 is spent annually per quilting household. “It’s something you can do who are important to you,” Barrows said, discussing the popularity of quilting. “A lot of people make baby quilts, quilts for graduation, weddings. It’s kind of a therapy. It’s cheaper than a psychiatrist. It’s a social thing.” She said she personally has “several” (continued on page 5)

The 2018 Wabash County 4-H Fair features an abundance of events and activities that all members of the community will enjoy. Purdue Extension of Wabash County educator Angela Christopher said excitement and anticipation is through the roof for this year’s installment of the fair. “We’re always excited for the fair because it’s the culminating activity for the kids for many months of hard work,” Christopher said. “Our clubs have been meeting since January. So, this is the final activity to show what they’ve worked on.” The vast array of events kicks of Tuesday, July 10 with the public fashion review at 7:30 p.m. at Legacy Hall inside the Honeywell Center. 4-H pre-judging also starts Tuesday, with non-livestock project contestants having the opportunity to meet with judges throughout the day, ending with ribbon presentations. “Any project that’s not an animal comes in to be judged,” Christopher said. “The judges are there. They get to sit down with the judge and show their project and talk to them about the process. The judge provides them with constructive feedback regarding their project. They know their ribbon placing right then and there.” The 4-H Queen coronation and 10-year member recognition takes place Wednesday, July 11 at 7 p.m. at the Honeywell Center. (continued on page 3)

Interested applicants should visit the company’s career webpage at www.10XEngineer edMaterials.com. “10X is proud to call Wabash home,” said Jacob Vaillancourt, officer of 10X. “As a fast growing cleantech company it was important we invest in a location with pro-growth policies

while also offering our company Midwestern values that align with our company’s core values. 10X is playing an active role in securing a sustainable future through gamechanging innovation. “The well-known “ H o o s i e r Hospitality” has been refreshing and we are excited to become a contributing and cooperative member of the community. The industri-

al talent of Indiana’s workforce will be critical for us as we continue to develop and manufacture next-generation material products in Indiana and across the country.” Gillenwater said 10X officials initially contacted local officials about their project and needs. “Over the last year, we worked with them to put them in contact with other potential customers and

suppliers, to find a location, negotiating incentives and to help them work through a new program that came out with the federal tax legislation that created Opportunity Zones to use to their advantage” he said. “In short, we worked hand-in-hand with them over the last year to pull this project together and find it a home in Wabash County. “They have been

great to work with from the get-go, and they will be great partners in Wabash.” The IEDC has offered 10X up to $145,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $100,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans.

Hanna Lodge hands out Masonic scholarships Article provided

Several local students recently received scholarships from the Hanna Masonic Lodge No. 61. Sam and Joe Burcroff, the sons of Scott and Angie Burcroff, Michael D. Swango, son of Michael Swango and Dayna Dale, daughter of Gary and JoDee Dale have received Masonic Scholarships from the scholarship board of the Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons. The Grand Lodge of Indiana scholarship board distributes earnings from an endowment and is one of the largest fra-

ternal scholarship funds in the country. In the years of its operation, over $6 million in scholarships have helped over 7,000 Hoosier students realize their education goals. Children and stepchildren of Master Masons, and Master Masons who demonstrate academic merit, financial need, and community participation may apply for scholarships if they are attending an Indiana college or university. The Burcroffs, Swango and Dale were four of 411 selected from over 435 applicants. The four were Michael D. Swango, Joe and Sam

Burcroff and Dayna Dale were sponsored by Michael Swango, Scott Burcroff and Gary Dale, respectively, all Free and Accepted Masons. Swango plans to apply his scholarship toward his first year at Trine University. Sam Burcroff plans to apply his scholarship toward his second year at H u n t i n g t o n University. Joe Burcroff plans to apply his scholarship toward his fourth year at Trine University. Dale plans to apply her scholarship toward her second year at Hanover College.

Nancy J to be honored by state guild ...continued from the front page quilts, including some antique ones dating prior to the 1920s.’ Making quilts is an art form, she said. “It’s not your grandmother’s quilt anymore,” Barrows said. “There’s so much out there that you can do.” Barrows has displays at six or seven shows per year, primarily in Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan. “I don’t venture too far,” she said. “It’s hard to be gone from the shop for that long.

But the opportunities do exist. You can go from New England to California to Florida to the state of Washington. They’re all over the place.” The theme for her store, located at 1604 S. Wabash St., is “Colors Gone Wild.” “In 1983, there were approximately three fabric companies that you could order quilt fabrics from, and they were all traditional, in that they were all the little calico prints that people associate with quilting,” she said. “But then fabric

companies began to expand. There were fabric companies coming out of California that had a different thought process, so we started getting in more modern, brightly colored fabrics.” When the store launched its website, she wanted it to have its own identity, hence the Colors Gone Wild theme. “Most of the things on the website are more modern and brightly colored,” she said. “I don’t do browns and grays.”

THE WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making the right decision at the right time is always better in life, but can be tricky when emotions and temptations get in the way. On the tennis court, good tennis is not necessarily synonymous with belting the ball as hard as you can. It is more about making the correct decision, or shot selection, at the right time. It usually comes down to simply thinking before we act. On the tennis court I love to crush the ball when the opportunity presents itself even when a conservative shot will get the job done, but I do try to stay in controlled aggression.

The same concepts are just as true in life.â&#x20AC;? EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

Vernon Health hosts free lunch By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Vernon Health and Rehabilitation, prides itself on being proactive in the Wabash community. The non-profit organization provides a plethora of healthcare services to the community, but members of management sometimes worry that the community is unaware of the scope of services Vernon Manor has to offer. So, events like the Hot Dog Free Lunch Celebration on Friday, July 6, put on by Vernon Health staff, is a way to show thanks while also educating the community. “We do this for the community just to give back to the folks that give so much to

us,” said Kathleen Boles, community liaison for Vernon Manor. “We have a really special community here with pediatric through geriatric skilled nursing care, and the community really rallies around them. So, we wanted to give back. We do little events like this every so often to show our support back to the community.” The flow of patrons was steady at the free community event Friday, as facility staff planned to feed 100 people free hot dogs, chips and drinks. “They just couldn’t believe that we do it for free,” Boles said. “We want to thank them for supporting us. I had a family of five come through with a dog. I had a couple of people I recognized

from the senior center. It just depends. It’s meant for everyone. So, we’ve had a good mix. “It’s just about community and making sure that they know we are here in the community. As much as they support us, we will also support them.” A major goal of the organization at events such as these, put on throughout the year, is to dispel what it feels is misconception in the community about that Vernon Health and Rehabilitation, formerly Vernon Manor, has to offer. The organization offers skilled nursing care for all age groups from pediatric to geriatric. It also offers respite care and more. “So, we can take the medically fragile kids and adults for

short-term stays to help out caregivers in need,” Boles said. “We have quite a bit of flexibility with stay. It can be respite, short term or long term. So, as they come through, we’re just letting them know about our services and the full range of services that we do offer, because people just don’t realize the scope of what we do.” Boles said many in the community may be able to use Vernon Health’s services and not even know it. “Especially foster families or someone in need that has a medically fragile child that is in need of a respite stay for that child,” she said. “Maybe they have vacation planned or maybe they just need a break. We can help with that. We can help foster families

from the NRA Foundation. Established in 1990, The NRA Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that raises tax-deductible contributions in support of a wide range of firearm-related public interest activities of the National Rifle Association of America and other organizations that defend and foster the Second Amendment rights of all lawabiding Americans. These activities are designed to promote firearm and hunting safety, to enhance marksmanship skills of those participat-

ing in the shootings sports, and to educate the general public about firearms in their historic, technological, and artistic context. More information about The NRA Foundation can be found online at w w w. n r a f o u n d a tion.org. The club requested targets, ammunition, and firearms to provide education and safe equipment for use by area youth. Teresa Rody, one of the coordinators for the Wabash County 4-H Shooting Sports Club, said “A main goal of our request this year was to obtain a small .22 caliber rifle with a shorter stock that can be used by smaller statured youth in the 4-H program. The rifle has been very useful to improve safety, control, and better accuracy for the children using it. Area children register for 4-H in November through January each year. There are an amazing variety of projects to try out for one annual registration fee. The youth learn about topics they love such as shooting sports, robotics, veterinary science, sewing, livestock, electricity and so many others. In the process of partici-

pating in club and learning activities, they learn leadership, life skills, and public service abilities. This grant from the NRA Foundation and a donation from Central Indiana Ethanol will help to educate the public as well.

Chillz ice cream shop open for business By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nm paper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — Following a family theme, North Manchester native and Purdue University student Janzin Cripe dove into the business world. Chillz, a new ice cream shop located at 1302 SR 114 W, opened Sunday, July 1. The shop sits on the same property of Rhinestones & Roses, owned by his sisters Josi Cripe and Jentri Cripe. “One of the reasons my family wanted to do this is that we felt there was a need here, and we heard that from a lot of people,” Cripe said. “There was that outdoor experience that was lack-

ing. “You can just come hang out and meet people, and hang out with friends. I really wanted to bring that here.” Cripe, a 2016 Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School graduate, is majoring in economics with an entrepreneurial minor. “The past school year, I was looking at my future, and what kind of internship that would fit me and my personality,” Cripe said. He said that he went to career fairs and talked to numerous companies, but didn’t find what he was looking for. “I figured why not start something on my own?,” he said. The Cripe family discussed the idea of starting the ice cream shop, and Cripe said, “Let’s do it. What’s the harm

in trying?” Chillz offers 20 flavors of ice cream, from cherry amaretto, to lemon cheesecake bar to mint chocolate chips and butter pecan. “We wanted to be competitive with everyone else so people didn’t feel like they were losing flavors and variety here,” Cripe said. One difference that Chillz offers from other ice cream is adding toppings to each scoop. “We top everything,” Cripe said. “You can get just ice cream, but you have to specifically say that’s what you want. “I don’t want to be a boring ice cream place. It’s really good ice cream, but I want it to be special. I want it to be ice cream, and [people] say, ‘Wow, that looks amazing.’”

Chillz’ toppings include gummy worms, Nutter Butter, Oreos and Fruity Pebbles. Along with the variety of ice cream, Cripe added an element that he hopes will offer his customers a fun experience. “We will have music playing, a fire pit and cornhole,” he said. “People can sit around at night and have a good time. We’ll have marshmallows, so we can have smores, and, also, we have smores ice cream.” Cripe plans add food, including gourmet grilled cheese. “I just want people to know that when they come here, their business is greatly appreciated,” he said. “No matter how small or large their order is, I want them to be satisfied and want to

Warsaw Superintendent endorses solar energy By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com With at least two school districts in Wabash County contemplating installing solar energy in their buildings, taking a look at what other school districts in the area are doing could prove beneficial. W a r s a w Community Schools’ Superintendent Dr. David Hoffert recently talked with The Paper of Wabash County about his schools’ decision to install solar fields at five of their campuses. Warsaw’s $10 million project is expected to save the school district a little over $15 million in energy costs over the next 25 years. “If you’re looking at the three drivers that we had, there was financial driver, there was definitely an educational driver because we’re excited to share green energy with our kids, for our students to understand how this works and what the impact is financially and for green energy here in our community,” Hoffert said. “And, the last driver is the environmentalism driver.” Hoffert explained that Warsaw Community Schools has been one of the national leaders for STEM education, and during its latest building projects, it installed a couple solar panels where they were renovating and building. So. It started out as an educational tool. About a little over a year ago, Warsaw Chief Financial Officer Dr. Brandon Penrod came forward with the idea of installing solar panels on a larger scale. He had been working with a couple organizations and learned of the amount of savings a school system could incur with such a project. “We started looking at the economic, long-term impact

that it would have on our schools, because we knew what we were paying in energy costs, and we realized for the same price, we could be leasing solar panels, have a guaranteed energy savings, and then over a set number of years, the biggest savings that we would have was that we would be able to control our energy prices,” Hoffert said. “Whereas traditional energy goes up two to four percent every single year, we would be able to capture energy and we would be able to really guarantee what our energy cost was going to be for our schools. By being able to do that, we realized that we we’re going to save millions of dollars in the long run.” A number of Warsaw’s school board members went and took a look at what other places, such as Indianapolis International Airport and other schools in Indiana, were doing with their solar fields, and what kind of savings they were enjoying.

“We came back, and our board members were sold on the idea,” Hoffert said. “They loved the concept, so we took a look at the schools that had the extra land that could support the solar fields that we were planning. We went ahead and put them in place.” Hoffert explained that there is very little if any risk involved for the school due to the fact that they have a guaranteed savings contract in place, which locks their energy costs in place. “We know what the output is,” he said. “The only long-term thing we don’t know is what our energy price is going to be. We don’t know what the percentage is. We’re just estimating over the last 25 years of what energy increases have gone into effect to create our tables. But, we’re not going to be paying more than what we are right now.” Warsaw just finished up the final touches on the installation of solar panels at five of its buildings, so it

hasn’t been able to capture any of that savings just yet. “The install finishes were any time between January, and we had our last one that should be going on line this next month,” Hoffert said. “When we talk about savings, the savings isn’t so much in year No. 1. We know there will be minimal savings. The biggest savings comes each year as energy prices go up and ours stay consistent.” Hoffert, who formerly served as Northfield High School principal, said he has talked to both Wabash City S c h o o l s Superintendent Jason Callahan and Metropolitan School District of Wabash C o u n t y Superintendent Mike Keaffaber about his school’s journey into solar panels. Both Wabash and MSD have heard presentations on the prospects of installing solar at their schools at recent meetings. “I highly encourage it,” Hoffert said. “We’re very excited for what this holds.

Like I said, it’s really a three-pronged approach, because we’re gaining an educational value with the financial and the green energy. I’m a large supporter of it. We’re excited to have this as part of our school system.”

NM Chamber, Main Street talk restructuring By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com NORTH MANCHESTER — In a brief public meeting Thursday, June 29, representatives from several local organizations discussed the potential restructuring of Manchester

Main Street and the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce. The two nonprofits began talking about joining forces several weeks ago, and announced two public meetings to share i n fo r m at i o n . Thursday’s meeting,

‘the paper’

attended by eight people, was the second of those. MMS board president Matt Nettleton led the discussion in the Blocher Room of North Manchester Public Library. Nettleton noted that Wabash-based lawyer Steve Downs is handling the legal side of the transition, and working with the transition board to explain what the new structure will look like. “I think we’ll still have the various committees within each organization that run FunFest and America In Bloom, Historic Preservation,” he said. “… it’s a (c)6 with a foundation that’s the (c)3.” Currently, MMS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and the chamber is a 501(c)6. Julie Garber, program director of the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, attended the meeting and provided insight on the foundation’s relationship with MMS and the chamber. “[The transition] makes it a little easier

to partner, for us,” she said. “The chamber, as a (c)6 – we can give grants to a (c)6, if the (c)6 is doing charitable work, and then there has to be a lot of oversight to make sure that the money is spent charitably. But, since you’ve got a (c)3, which is already imbued with the responsibility for charitable money, we can more easily support those activities. “It sounds like a lot of communities are doing it this way.” Transition board member and former chamber board chair Sebrena Cline added, “Neither entity actually goes totally away, because you still need to maintain those taxing structures.” The proposed structure will allow the 501(c)3 foundation to receive grant money from a wide variety of sources – such as the community foundation – to support the 501(c)6, which will continue the mission of the new both Main Street and the chamber. That mission, Nettleton said, focuses on economic vitali-

ty and enhancing the quality of life in North Manchester. “We talked about creating a vibrant and inclusive community, which we think is important,” he said, “promoting economic vitality, which is obviously key to both organizations and it’s going to continue forward; and promoting and celebrating historical legacy, what made Manchester what it is, what we hope to continue to be, and foster a dynamic future, so that in 20-30 years, Manchester is even better than it is at this current moment.” Reasons for the transition center around the benefits of consolidating into one organization. “We’re in a small pond, right?” Nettleton said. “Instead of tapping the same resources twice, trying to get with businesses – and both having the goal of economic vitality – it made a lot more sense to kind of join forces.” Chamber board chair Susan Roesner

added, “We’re stronger together, we’re better together, always have been. So, we should work together.” According to a handout from the meeting, additional reasons include increase efficiency and effectiveness, potential for greater impact, and better opportunities for collaboration with other county and regional organizations. The transition board is composed of 18 North Manchester area residents, ranging from chamber members to MMS members to unaffiliated community leaders. “It’s a really great cross section of leadership in the community,” Nettleton said of the transition board. He noted that the transition board has been critical of the process. “Those that have been a fan of it from day one, pushing the initiative, would have a kind of reaction when we saw something – like, ‘Wait a second, I don’t under-

stand. Time out, this doesn’t sound right; explain more,’” he said. Information on the transition may be found on both the MMS (www.manchester mainstreet.org) and chamber (www.northmanchesterchamber.org) websites, including frequently asked questions and contact information for the transition board. Nettleton said the information on both websites will be updated after each transition board meeting, should there be any updates. “It’s good for us to remember that it’s a fluid process,” Cline said. “As we work, there are things that we see have to change and do differently, and we’re learning.” Nettleton said that the transition board hopes to put the matter to vote by the membership by October, with the new board being elected and taking over by January. The name for the new organization is yet to be determined.

Wabash County veteran benefits rise By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com According to new data released by the V e t e r a n s Administration, Wabash County continues to rise within the state of Indiana in terms of benefits received among its veteran population. While Wabash County still ranks

50th out of 92 counties in size based on the number of veterans residing in each county, it has climbed to sixth overall from last year’s ninth-place finish for benefits received on a per veteran basis. “This places Wabash County firmly among the top few counties in our state for receiving veteranrelated assistance

through the Veterans Administration,” Wabash County Veterans Service Officer Samuel Daugherty said. “The upward, progressive trend for Wabash County has continue to gain momentum under (myself) and Deputy Service Officer Jeff Ritter.” Wabash County again realized a marked increase in

veteran benefits of $19.1 million, up from last year’s $17.6 million. The Veteran’s Service Office says it’s important to point out that aging veterans from both World War II and the Korean War are passing at a steady rate, resulting in a decrease in Wabash’s overall veteran population of approximately three percent. The overall county veteran population is down from 2,231 to 2,165 in the past year. “Wabash County has still managed to increase its focus on veteran assistance programs despite a dwindling veteran p o p u l a t i o n , ” Daugherty said. “This is largely due to the outreach programs and practices of the Veterans Service Office.” Among the benefits that Daugherty helps veterans receive are healthcare, disability compensation, burial allowances, educational assistance, vocational rehab assistance and nursing home assistance.

County museum seeing increase in visitors By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com WABASH – In the past five years, the Wabash County Historical Museum’s average attendance more than tripled. Mitch Figert, president and CEO of the museum, presented a review of the museum’s recent work to the county commissioners Monday, July 9. “When I started, we weren’t in a great position financially or attendance-wise,” he said. “We would go days, if not weeks, without turning the lights on; we didn’t have more than about 5,000 guests a year. “That has changed.” Figert said that the museum now welcomes around 5,000 students per year from six counties, free of charge to the schools thanks to donations and county funding. “We don’t just let those kids run loose,” he said. “Every kid gets an education activity that’s geared to their grade standards.” The museum’s collection contains about 175,000 artifacts, including papers and photographs as well as 3-D artifacts. “I have the commissioners to thank for those 175,000 artifacts,” Figert said. “When you renovated the judicial center you gifted those to us.” He said that a team of staff, volunteers and contractors are inventorying and digitizing the collection. “At this point, if

the museum burnt down, those artifacts are gone,” he said. “What we’re trying to do is identify the priority collections, photographs, some legal records, digitize those, and then back them up to a server so that, if there was a disaster, those records would live on in at least a digital version.” Another reason for digitization, Figert said, is to better aid those conducting research who are in need of the museum’s resources. “Right now, if you want to research,” he said, “you have to come to our facility, physically pull the document off the shelf, and look at it. What we can do with the digitization is put those online, allowing for researchers around the country, or really around the world, to access those records and photographs.” Concerning attendance, Figert said that 16,242 guests visited the museum in 2017. “In five years, we’ve more than tripled out guest count,” he said. “We’ve had less than a handful of days where no-one comes to the museum, and those are the days when we have a whole lot of snow or a whole lot of ice on the road. “We think we’ll surpass 17,000 this year, when we look at our projections.” To attract more guests, Figert said, the museum continues to get away from the “dusty warehouse for all the stuff ” idea. “No-one wants to

come to a warehouse and look at old, dusty artifacts,” he said. “So, what we’ve done over the last five years is, talk about how we can use those artifacts for education, how we can engage younger families.” Figert noted that museums now compete with video games and online attractions, as well as with other physical locations such as trampoline parks, escape rooms, and other museums. “What we want to do is give, especially the lower income families who don’t have those opportunities to travel and to go [to Indianapolis], ... a really phenomenal museum experience here in Wabash,” he said. The Parkview Wabash Education Center, the Crystal Gayle Theatre and monthly Family Fun Nights “allow local families to come, to get engaged and to have fun,” Figert said. Additionally, many of the museum’s 90plus exhibits run on 15-year-old technology. “So, we are trying to update our technology,” Figert said. A multi-year process to renovate that technology is underway. Additional news from the commissioners’ meeting included: The weekly jail report from Sheriff Bob Land, who said that Wabash County Jail held 92 inmates, with 32 being held in Miami County, four in Blackford County, eight in Elkhart County and one in

Indiana Department of Corrections; Approval of a contract with Miami County for space in its jail, at a cost of $40 per inmate per day; The opening of two bids for the replacement of the bridge carrying Meridian Road over Clear Creek, one from RG Zachrich for $629,984 and the other from Primco for $470,047.56. Both bids were taken under advisement.

It’s more work than you think, but it’s worth it,” Lauren explains. She also described how being self-disciplined has helped her create her own deadlines to finish projects on time. Lauren believes the skill of selfdiscipline will help her pursue a college degree. “I’ll be able to get my work in college done on time. I’ll be able to push myself and motivate myself to get things done.” This year at the fair, Lauren is looking forward to spending time with friends and her fellow 4-H members.

I have learned a lot, met so many people, made many connections, and had my fair share of ups and downs. I have made many memories and friendships that will last a lifetime through this organization. I am the person that I am today because of the people that I have met, my successes and failures, my family and friends who have supported me through 4-H, and the work ethic that 4-H has taught me. Your character can really say a lot about you in the show ring too. A judge and all of the public watching can see how you work with and react to your animal, how you hold yourself, and how you treat others around you, so it’s important to me to make sure that I am setting a good example.” Kade believes this character development will serve him well as he takes the next step into learning the ins and outs of construction.

Organization is something that I can use throughout my future, especially next year at college. It is also a skill that is mandatory in the business world, so I am glad that I have had the opportunity to learn what works best for me before I step out into my future.” Among other skills learned throughout her 4-H career, Ellie’s sense of organization has already helped her land many internships and jobs thus far. She is looking forward to seeing how Purdue will help her grow and where her future will take her.

Ways to beat the heat around county By Christine Flohr

July’s heat seems to be the topic of every conversation. (Literally, I think I am sweating as I type this.) We are obsessed with checking the weather app on our smart devices and shaking our head in disbelief at the projected heat index. On one hand, there are a few (my sister, Stephanie, included) who live for the heat and despise the modern luxury of air conditioning. I, on the other hand, adore AC and would proudly wear an “I Love Willis” T-shirt in homage to Willis Carrier. In 1902, Carrier invented the first electrical air conditioning unit. When I think back to “Little House on the Prairie” times and the number of layers

woman were required to wear despite the rising temps outside, I catch myself feeling grateful for shorts, flip-flops, and my icemaker. If we choose to CHRISTINE FLOHR brave the lava-heat of the relentless sun, then we immediately seek ways to cool our bodies, like our fellow mammals the pachyderms. We flock to swim-

ming pools, beaches, and places like Long Lake Resort. Located in North Manchester, Long Lake Resort has provided families a respite from the summer temps since 1926. Along with offering lakefront RV camping, the resort features monthly events such as their Long Lake Treasure Hunt taking place on July 14. In addition to Long Lake, Salamonie, Mississienwa, and Luken’s Lake offer boaters a place to catch a breeze and cool their toes. Swimming with the fresh-water fish, turtles, and toads might not be your thing. The Honeywell Pool is open to the public and recently went through a renovation in 2016. It’s an affordable option for kids to stay cool and active while on summer break. If you prefer to enjoy summer while

If I were baseball commissioner ... By Bill Barrows

Okay baseball fans, imagine yourself as baseball commissioner. Not interested in the pressure of the headaches and pressure decisions? I’ll step forward and do it for you. Step aside Rob Manfred, let me have a chance! I certainly have my opinions on what is right with baseball and of course, what needs to be changed. In my mind, there are several issues that need either tweaked or changed. Let’s start with the actual game schedule. It’s an unbalanced 162 game marathon that starts in late March. That was changed before this season so teams could have a few more days off during the season. But I have a couple of additions to that. How about starting the season in warm weather cities as much as possible and/or in domed facilities? Instead of cold weather teams such as Boston, Chicago, Minnesota, New York, Denver and Philly playing with cold temps and the forecast of snow, why not start more early series’ at Phoenix, Miami, Tampa Bay, Houston, Arlington and Atlanta or in domed stadiums like Toronto and Seattle? They do that now, you say? Yes they do, but in most cases, the cold weather teams head home to play their -home openers within about 10 days after the season opens. That just doesn’t always work out as well as planned. So to alleviate some of the rainouts (or early snow-outs) another change that I would make is for every team to have Monday off. No, it’s not farfetched. Back in the 60’s and early 70’s it actually happened. Done correctly, teams would always know when their next day off would be. Players sometimes complain that if they play the late Sunday night nationally televised game, they get in late to their next destination. This would take care of that. Those off days would also be used for make-up dates for those pesky rainouts. Thirdly, we need to do something about the designated hitter (DH) rule. Either adopt it into the National League or do away with it in the American League. The game is unbalanced the way it is now. Yes, we have gotten along with it this way since its inception in 1973. Yes, I’m old enough to remember the game before the DH. I am a baseball purist for the most part. But I’ve also come to enjoy the extra hitter and not dealing with what is perceived as the almost automatic out of the pitcher hitting. Also, we need to do something about September callus. This is the age old tradition of expanding the rosters from 25 during most of

the season to the entire 40 man rosters. Which means simply, anyone who the club wants to either reward for a good minor league seaBILL BARROWS son or to get a closer look at their skills, they bring up to compete the last month of the season after the minor league season ends. This creates an even worse balance of competitiveness as the season winds down. Teams who are not in contention will bring up a bunch of pitchers and use them and they can get devoured by hitters on teams who are still in the pennant race. This creates advantages to random teams fighting for their playoff lives. So I propose expanding to 30, not 40 man rosters. The other 10 could be with the major league club and rotated in and out at the end of play on Sundays in September. But the biggest change I would make as your commissioner is to deal with PED users. Performance enhancement drug users have been a part of the dark side of the sport since probably the 50’s, maybe even earlier. But the steroid era really brought the problem to center stage in the late 90’s. Right now, there is the 3 strike rule. A slap on the wrist for the first violation, a 50 game suspension, then a 100 game suspension for the 2nd, and then a ban from baseball for the third time, with a reinstatement possibility after that. The first 2 violations also carry player fines. However, most players issue public apologies, pay the fine and serve the suspension, period. Then come back and play. If I were the commissioner, there would be a better way. Simply void their contact immediately. They serve the suspension and come back and play for the minimum. These guys sign multi-year guaranteed contracts and then move on. If there was the threat of a voided contract hanging over their heads if they violated the drug policy, the number of violations would cease. Sure, all of these proposed changes would cause an uproar with the players association, especially the last one, but the game would be more efficient, more competitive by definition, and the PED problem would take care of itself because it would simply come down to, you use drugs, your contract would be voided and you have no further financial security. I also have some ideas on pace of play, replay, and uniforms but those are discussions for another article.

seated in conditioned-cooled air, then Free Movie Mondays inside of the Ford Theater at the Honeywell Center should rank at the top of your list. Concessions of popcorn, candy, and your favorite fizzy drink are available to enhance your viewing pleasure. These sweltering temperatures leave me a bit envious of those who can cool their house with the push of a button. My home, built in 1900, has never been upgraded with central air, despite its invention in 1902. We use portable air conditioners and enough fans to power a small jet airliner. Luckily, Wabash County has a plethora of options to beat the heat, even when we feel like a melted ice cream cone. Christine Flohr is the executive director of tourism for Visit Wabash County.

Keep outer space at peace Dear Editor: On June 18, 2016 President Donald Trump charged the Pentagon with the creation of a new military branch: the “Space Force.” The president’s move to militarize space is a hazardous decision which could spur on a new space race, but not for the better. Upon realizing the danger of potentially having weapons of mass destruction in space, the United Nations developed the Outer Space Treaty which went into effect in 1967. This treaty demands that those party to the treaty not place any weapons of mass destruction in orbit around the Earth or on any celestial bodies. Trump’s “separate but equal” military branch gives the U.S. an opportunity to break yet another international treaty. Article I of the Outer Space Treaty states that “outer space… shall be free for exploration and use by all states without discrimination of any kind.” Having a dominating U.S. military presence in space will almost certainly infringe on the free exploration

which all States are entitled to. By proclaiming the need to have such a force before a threat has been identified, Trump has beckoned for one to appear. This announcement has the potential to prompt China’s further development of a similar military force. Even if this new branch of the U.S. military doesn’t put WMDs in orbit around the earth, it threatens the free exploration of space. The Outer Space Treaty established a desire for international cooperation in space and a plea to ensure that outer space is used only for peaceful purposes. The exploration of space will bring about hundreds of new technological advances. We need to ensure that those advancements are used for the betterment of humankind, not the destruction of it. Let’s explore the cosmos as humanity, not as a single nation. — Jesse Langdon, MU Campus Interfaith Board President, MU Students for Justice in Palestine President, Education for Conflict Resolution Board Member, Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center Intern

Local schools receive safety grants By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com The Indiana Secured School Safety Board recently approved more than $14 million in matching grants to enhance school security by allowing local school corporations to add resource officers, equipment and conduct threat assessments. During the board meeting, applications were approved for 388 schools, including all three Wabash County districts and St. Bernard Catholic School, that qualified for the Secured School Safety Grant

program. Each school must produce a 50 percent match to qualify. Wabash City Schools was approved for $30,000, as was Manchester Community Schools. Metropolitan School District of Wabash County was approved for $25,000, and St. Bernard was approved for $18,706.48. “Indiana continues to be a national leader in the safety and preparedness of our schools,” said Bryan Langley, board chair and executive director of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. “With support from

Gov. Eric Holcomb and legislators, this funding will continue that trend to support schools as they plan and implement safety measures to protect students, educators, administrators and visitors.” The funds include an additional $5 million approved by the Indiana General Assembly at the governor’s request. With the recent board approval, the Indiana Secured School Safety Grant program has provided more than $53 million since 2014 to enhance safety and security in schools. The Indiana Secured School Safety Grant pro-

gram was created in 2013 to support initiatives to ensure schools are safe and secure. The program supports a dedicated state grant fund that provides matching grants to school corporations, accredited non-public schools, charter schools or a coalition of school corporations and/or charter schools applying jointly to employ a school resource officer, conduct a threat assessment, purchase equipment to restrict access to the school or expedite the notification of first responders. School corporations, charter

schools or coalitions with an average daily membership of at least 1,000 can apply for grants up to $50,000 annually. Schools with membership of less than 1,000 can apply for grants up to $35,000 per year. Additionally, on Monday, July 9, Holcomb announced a new program that will make handheld metal detectors available at no cost to schools that want them. “Controlling what comes into our school buildings is just one part of keeping our schools safe,

and our efforts to assist school corporations most be ongoing and evolving,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Local officials are best positioned to determine their school safety needs and the measures that make sense for their students and communities, and – for many – these handheld metal detectors could make a substantial difference.” B e g i n n i n g Monday, the Indiana State Police and Department of Administration will coordinate the handheld metal detector

program. This new program will make one handheld metal detector device available for every 250 students in a traditional public, charter and accredited non-public schools by request. Schools can submit requests at www.in.gov/idoa/31 34.htm. IDOA will place the first orders for the metal detector devices on July 19 for delivery by mid-August. Orders placed after that date will be fulfilled later in the fall.

Don Eilts, 92

Jon Montague, 53

U.S. Army Veteran

Retired from U.S. Army

Feb. 10, 1926 – April 19, 2018

Oct. 20, 1964 – July 6, 2018

The following are Words of Tribute from the celebration of Life for Don B. Eilts, held in the Fellowship Hall of the North Manchester Congregational Christian Church at noon on Saturday June 30. “Don’t be a crank, be a self- starter” was the advice to the Laketon High School Class of 1945 which included Don Bornheart Eilts. He died on April 19, 2018, in Glendale, Ariz., in the care of his daughter Dana Fischer. Don was born in Rensselaer on Feb. 10, 1926, the fourth child of Edward and Bertha (Goepp) Eilts. There were eight Eilts children in all: John, August, Edwin, Donald, Theodore, Mina Johanna (Minnie) Freeman, Martha Rinehart and Henry. They moved to the Laketon area in 1935, on a farm with a pond and a creek, that Edward bought sight unseen, but which he and this family worked profitably. The oldest son, John, remained with relatives in Rensselaer for his senior year of high school and Edward Eilts and his seven children moved into an old farmhouse. Their mother, Bertha was living in the State Hospital in Logansport, where she would remain until her death. A number of housekeepers aided in the raising of the Eilts’ eight over the years. All the kids had nicknames – Don’s was “Dink and a half.” Don’s most sincere moments of living were when he married Arlene Sellers and helped raise her kids, Kenneth Sellers (now deceased), Christine Reeves, Debbie Ford, Von (Mike) Shepherd, and their daughter Dana Fischer. He had grandsons Antone, Adam and Gavin, and Adarrias as his granddaughter. Two daughters from a previous marriage Sherry and Mina Ann, survive in Arizona. “Years to a father may bring distress, but do not make him love the less” sums up Don’s affection for his children which kept growing in his later years. Coming from a large family made Don grateful for moments of clarity, conviction and caring. Three members of Don’s class were among those family and friends gathered that day to remember Don. Genevieve McNutt, Leon Ulrey and Ed Price. Genevieve, who rode the bus to school with the Eilts kids, shared that she remembered each of the seven Eilts children walking down the hill, single file, from the farmhouse to board the bus to Laketon. She offered that it was a real testimony to a father’s love, that he raised such fine children who each made their way through the world by hard work and perseverance. “Don always kept us laughing,” and “He was sort of our class clown,” she offered. It was reported by Leon Ulrey that Don tied a mouse they had caught to the desk of Doris Pottenger, a classmate, who was really prim and proper. This caused quite a commotion. When questioned about the event, Don claimed responsibility. Anyone who knew Don Eilts knew that he was a man of uncommon humor. “Don taught me how to play,” remarked a nephew. Don played basketball for Laketon High School with his brothers. The boys would ride the bus home to the farm, do the chores and then run back to the gym at school, so they’d be warmed up for practice. Edward would drive in later to bring them home. As part of the Wabash Community Service league basketball teams at Honeywell Center, he was “the Meat Man” very ably rebounding for his team. Don was self-motivated and self-employed – a real “self- starter” and “could do anything with a machine,” offered brother Henry “Hank” Eilts. He owned and operated his own heavy equipment. Don was also a union machine operator, became a supervisor for Reith Riley, and helped in the construction of U.S. Highways 69, 24, 31 and 30 in the area. At one time or another all the Eilts brothers “collaborated’ on various trenching and excavation projects. Don started out a ditch digger, and was a big fan of the backhoe, “a real improvement in trenching” he remarked. Other memories from those gathered included many stories. “He could hit a home run, but could only run to second, with his wobbly legs.” “He danced the heel off my shoe one night.” He loved to play cards and with brother Ted, was unbeatable. “You dirty bird,” was an oft heard response to poor play. “Don’t interrupt him in Vegas, he played 3 slots at once!” He always traveled “light,” carrying all he needed for a Vegas trip in a bowling bag. Don wore a captain’s hat many times, and was often mistakenly assumed to be in charge of events – to the great gain of his family when it came to ‘gathering tickets’ for admission to amusement rides. Thelma Butler shared that she gave Don his last haircut before he moved to Glendale, Ariz., to live with his daughter Dana Fischer. Don Eilts was a member of the U.S. Army, serving as a fireman in Louisville, Ky., remembers Hank. All six of the Eilts boys were in the Armed Forces. He was a life member of Laketon “Sunset Post 402” of the American Legion, reported Commander Floyd Hiner. Commander Dave Burnette and the Honor Guard of North Manchester Post No. 286 provided the Military Service Ceremony with flags present, gun salute and “Taps.” The American flag was presented to his daughter, Dana Fischer. A luncheon was served by the Legion Auxiliary at the post in North Manchester following the service. Conviviality and stories flowed. Don was raised a good Lutheran in the old brick German-Lutheran church on State Road 114 just west of State Road 15, in Wabash County. His was the job of starting the fires in the stoves before worship to warm the house of God. He knew who the Good Lord was, and what He expected. That he had his faults, bears testimony to his humanity. Don knew God’s grace; sometimes grace to overcome and many times grace to endure. He will be sadly missed by all, but lived a full life well into his 92nd year. One time when Don had lined his brothers’ up along the fence by the pond for “some much needed instruction” as they had been slacking in digging the potatoes he shared a good maxim for living. I offer to you now a “Life Lesson from The Eilts Boys: “When ‘ere a task is set for you - Don’t idle set, and view it. Nor be content to wish it done - Begin at once and do it. If that task is once begun - Never leave it ‘till it’s done. Be it labor great or small - Do it well or not at all.” From the Bible, Ecclesiastes Chapter Twelve teaches us that when our life on earth is over that “The body returns to the earth from whence it came, and the spirit returns to God Who gave it.” So true. Arrangements are entrusted to McKee Mortuary.

WCSD issues 51 citations, makes 1 arrest during 2018 Click It or Ticket By The Paper staff Over 24 days, Wabash County S h e r i f f â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s Department issued 51 citations and made one arrest as part of the 2018 Click It or Ticket mobilization. More than 230 Indiana law-enforcement agencies joined thousands across the nation to enforce seat-belt laws in cars and trucks, for both children and adults, in the front seat and back, both day and night. The overtime, high-visibility traffic patrols were supported with federal traffic-safety funds administered by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI). While many TV shows focus on violent-crime investigations, first responders actually see more traffic crashes. You are more likely to have a property damage crash and be injured or killed in a traffic crash than be a victim of burglary, violent crime or murder, respectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enforcement of traffic laws intends to prevent the crashes, injuries and deaths that impact our community,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Dan Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the summer travel season fully underway,

police urge motorists to buckle up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; every trip, every time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to use a sober driver.â&#x20AC;? This year marks marks 30 years since Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat-belt law began, and Indiana has participated in Click It or Ticket for more than 20 years. Since that time, Indiana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with 34 other states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has enacted a primary seat-belt law, meaning that police can pull you over for being unbuckled. From 2000 to 2017, the Purdue University Center for Road Safety says that seat-belt usage increased from 62 to 93 percent, beating the most recent national average of 90.1 percent. Indiana has made great progress through stronger laws and highly-visible enforcement, but the small percentage who still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buckle up make up nearly half of those killed on our roadways. In 2016, there were 10,428 unbuckled motorists killed in crashes in the United States. Seat belts were estimated to save an additional 14,668 lives. Pickup trucks and SUVs feel safer because they are larger and sit higher to the road. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let that lure you into a false sense of secu-

rity! Motorists in pickup trucks are over-represented in unrestrained injuries and deaths. ICJI partners with the Indiana University Public Policy Institute to analyze seat-belt statistics. The latest information is at www.in.gov/cji/files /Highway_Safety_Oc cupant_Protection_2 016.pdf. National statistics are at www.nhtsa.gov/risk y-driving/seat-belts. What is the best way to reduce your chances of injury or death? Buckle up! Below are tips for proper seat-belt use: Secure the lap belt across your hips and pelvis, below your stomach. Place the shoulder belt across the middle of your chest and rib cage, away from your neck. Never put the shoulder belt behind your back or under an arm. If your seat belt doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit you, or you have an older car with lap belts only, ask your dealer or vehicle manufacturer about seat-belt adjusters, extenders or retrofits. Have a friend or family member who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buckle up? Speak up! One life lost is too many, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave any of your loved ones behind.

Have friends or family that are men under age 45? They are the majority of those killed, because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take 3 seconds to buckle up. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just buckle up for yourself, do it for the kids. During a crash, unrestrained passengers can become projectiles that injure or kill others in the car. In Indiana, unrestrained children under 16 are the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. Adults set the example, and parents who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buckle up are more likely to have unbuckled kids. That means one ticket for you and one for each unrestrained child. Traffic crashes are the leading killer of children ages 1 to 13. Indiana requires all children age 8 and under to be in an approved car seat or booster seat, but as children get older, they are less likely to remain buckled. Choose the safest car seat for your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s height and weight at www.safercar.gov/therightseat. Find a certified carseat safety technician to assist with installation at www.preventinjury.o rg/Child-PassengerSafety/Child-SafetySeat-InspectionStations or through the SaferCar app on iTunes or Google Play.

Indiana home prices surged 6.6 percent in 2017 BLOOMINGTON — Indiana’s housing market continues to be marked by a dramatic imbalance between strong demand and scant supply, which led to a 6.6 percent surge in home prices during 2017 — the Hoosier state’s largest annual increase since 1991 — according to a report from Indiana

University’s Kelley School of Business. “In many respects, Indiana’s housing market is in good shape,” said Matt Kinghorn, senior demographer at the Indiana Business Research Center. “The state had a record number of existing-home sales in 2017, and house price appreciation is as strong as we have seen in the last quarter century.

more people to the housing market and spur new construction. If the state’s economy can continue to improve, the Indiana housing market could soon be hitting on all cylinders.” The findings were released today in the Indiana Business Review, published by the Indiana Business Research Center. Hoosiers purchased more than 88,500 existing homes in 2017 — a new record for Indiana — and total sales rose by 2.4 percent over the previous year. In the

Indiana’s foreclosure rate continues to fall, and residential construction is finally beginning to perk up. With Indiana’s economy doing fairly well and mortgage rates likely to stay below 5 percent for a while longer, these facets of the housing market will likely remain strong. “The strength of the Indiana economy will determine whether measures such as residential construction and household formation rates improve,” he added. “Growth in employment and wages will draw

meantime, the average monthly inventory of homes on the market was about 14 percent lower than in 2016 (which itself was down 15 percent over the previous year). Indiana’s average monthly inventory was roughly 27,970 existing homes on the market last year. Rising prices and short supply led to a relatively strong increase in new construction. The number of new residential building permits totaled 21,664 in 2017. This was a 16 percent increase over the previous year and was the state’s highest total since 2007. New single-family homes accounted for most of them, totaling 16,075 new units. “While this marks a significant improvement, residential construction remains slow by historic standards,” Kinghorn said. “The number of permits issued for new single-family homes last year, for instance, is still only half as large as the average

annual number of permits issued between 1998 and 2005.” The median sales price for existing homes increased by 5.7 percent in 2017 to nearly $147,000. It was the sixth straight year with median price gains of at least 3 percent. While this is a boon to those looking to sell their homes, rising prices — combined with declining rental vacancy rates and the expectation of rising mortgage interest rates — could begin to impact housing affordability for some Hoosiers, Kinghorn said. Population trends suggest that more people are entering the housing market in Indiana. The state’s population grew by 32,800 last year. An important demographic group, those between the ages of 25 and 44, grew by 4,000 in 2016 (the most recent year that data is available) and for the fourth consecutive 29281/19702

year after 12 years of declines. “This age group, which is typically responsible for net gains in new households and home purchases, will continue to grow as the comparatively large millennial generation comes of age,” Kinghorn said. “Another leap forward in new home construction is sorely needed to help alleviate problems caused by the short supply of existing homes on the market,” he said. “Inventory constraints could become even more of a concern if stronger net in-migration and the emergence of the millennial generation trigger stronger household formation rates over the next few years.” Indiana’s home ownership rate is holding steady. After dropping more than 3 percentage points, from 72.1 percent in 2006 to 68.5 percent in 2013, Indiana’s homeownership rate appears to have stabilized recently. The state’s homeownership rate came in at an estimated 68.3 percent in 2016, and there have not been any statistically significant shifts in this measure over the previous three years. The article also reported that Indiana’s foreclosure rate continues to drop. According to the Mortgage B a n k e r s Association, the state’s foreclosure rate dropped more than 3.5 percentage points from its peak of 4.9 percent at the end of 2011 to 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Is corn oversold? By Kelsey Litchfield University of Illinois News Bureau URBANA, Ill. - A combination of trade uncertainty and a strong start to the growing season led corn prices to tumble lower last week. The sharp selloff in the corn market occurred despite some positive news in the WASDE report on Tuesday. “Demand for corn continues to be strong and while the crop currently looks to be in good shape, this corn crop is a long way from completion,” says Todd Hubbs, agricultural economist at the University of Illinois. “The substantial reduction in the weather premium customarily seen at this time of the year seems excessive at this point.” The June WASDE report lowered 201718 ending stocks by 80 million bushels on increased exports (75 million bushels) and lower imports (5 million bushels). In conjunction with the changes in the current marketing year, the 2018-19 marketing-year ending stocks came in 105 million bushels lower. Hubbs also adds that corn exports continue to provide strength in consumption. Census Bureau estimates of corn exports through April sit at 1.347 billion bushels. As of June 14, an estimate of corn

exports total 1.752 billion bushels and is at 76.2 percent of the USDA projection of 2.3 billion bushels for the marketing year. While trade issues with China look to impact agricultural exports overall, corn exports to China so far this marketing year total 9.4 million bushels through April or less than 1 percent of total exports during that period. Additionally, the corn crop in Brazil and Argentina is down 790 million bushels over last year’s crop. According to Hubbs, corn exports should maintain a healthy pace through the summer months and are on track to meet projections. “The trade concerns affecting corn focus on NAFTA negotiations at this point and those discussions appear set to continue for some time,” he says. Domestic consumption is still experiencing strength due to corn use in ethanol. The current USDA projection of 5.575 billion bushels of corn used for ethanol production appears attainable with corn used for ethanol sitting at approximately 4.32 billion bushels as of June 8. Ethanol exports continue at a robust pace with total exports on a marketing-year basis equaling 1.145 billion gallons through April. Exports to China totaled 77.4 million

gallons, approximately 6.8 percent. While ethanol use maintains a robust pace, there is some concern for feed use according to Hubbs. Feed and residual use for corn during the first half of the marketing year is 3.8 billion bushels, which is equal to last year’s pace of feed and residual use. The USDA lowered the feed and residual use projection by 50 million bushels to 5.5 billion bushels for the marketing year in the April WASDE report due to lower than expected firsthalf disappearance. As the 2017-18 marketing year continues, uncertainty surrounding the final amount of feed and residual use for corn will continue. Currently, the USDA projects feed and residual use during the last half of the marketing year at 1.7 billion bushels, which would account for 31 percent of the marketing-year total. Last year feed and residual use totaled 1.662 billion bushels, accounting for 30.4 percent of the marketing-year total. “Since the residual component of feed and residual use can be considerable, total marketing-year use remains uncertain. Further clarification will come from the June 1 Grain Stocks report released on June 29,” Hubbs adds. The short-term focus will be on yield prospects for the 2018 corn crop. The

USDA currently projects 2018 yield at 174 bushels per acre. Initial concerns about the corn crop related to planting delays faded as May progressed. The most recent crop condition report, through June 10, placed the crop in good or excellent condition at 77 percent, 10 points higher than last year. Hubbs says, historically, the correlation between final corn yield and early-season crop condition reports is low and contains a large positive bias associated with crop conditions early in the planting season. A detailed analysis of early-season crop conditions and corn yield is provided in this farmdoc article. “Summer weather will determine yield and some concern is building in Missouri with the corn crop rated good to excellent down 11 percent last week. While some dry areas developed over the previous few weeks, approximately 11 percent of U.S. corn acres sit in a moderate to severe drought as of June 12,” Hubbs explains. “While the crop is off to a good start, the potential for poor weather as we move into July is always a possibility.” While yield looks promising, corn acreage is yet to be determined. A slow start to the planting season held out the possibility of acreage changes.

Hubbs says there is no indication of significant acreage changes due to planting issues in the Corn Belt at present. Since 1997, the average change from the March Prospective Planting report to the June Acreage survey is an increase of 446,000 acres. The most substantial increase occurred in 2007 with a 2.434 million-acre change. A decrease of 1.189 million acres in 1997 was the greatest acreage reduction during the period in question. The USDA’s Acreage repo rt released on June 29 will reveal any acreage changes from intentions published in the March survey. “Uncertainty about the size of the 2018 corn crop will continue for the next few months. Strong corn consumption appears set to continue through the summer with limited short-term damage from the tariff battle with China influencing consumption.

“A prolonged trade fight may affect global economic growth and hurt corn consumption over the long term. Summer weather holds the potential for this year’s crop. The

Health-promoting phenolic acids lost during food processing uct. “What we found was not particularly good news, but it was interesting. Regardless of the concentration in the grain at the beginning, the dry-milling process removes the majority of phenolics,” says Carrie ButtsWilmsmeyer, lead author of the two studies and research assistant professor in the Department of Crop Sciences at U of I. The phenolic compounds in corn are primarily concentrated in the bran, or the outer covering of the corn kernel, which is removed in the first steps of the dry-milling process. The researchers wanted to determine if they could increase the remaining soluble phenolic content by heating the starchy leftovers during later processing stages. Although most of the phenolics in corn are bound to fiber, heat can release bound forms of the compounds and

URBANA, Ill. – For many Americans, highly processed foods are on the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even when the raw materials – grains, for example – are high in vitamins and healthpromoting phenolic compounds, processing can rob the final product of these nutrients. In a set of recent studies, University of Illinois scientists reveal what happens to cancer-fighting phenolic acids in corn when it is processed into cornflakes. In a Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry study, the research team made cornflakes from 19 corn genotypes varying in phenolic content. They wanted to know if higher ferulic acid and p-courmaric acid content in the corn kernel translated to higher concentrations of these phenolics in the final prod-

improve the antioxidant content of cornbased foods. “We did see an increase in soluble phenolics, but it was so small, you could have gotten the same benefit from going to the refrigerator and eating a few blueberries,” B u t t s - Wi l m s m e y e r says. Despite the lessthan-ideal outcome, the studies represent important steps forward for food science researchers and the food processing industry. First, the labbench-size process

developed and demonstrated by the researchers in JoVE Video Journal allows testing of small batches of experimental corn lines. “Before this project, the only published study on cornflake processing used a sample size of 45 kilograms. We worked with ag engineers to get it down to 100 grams, literally a 450th of the size,” ButtsWilmsmeyer says. They found that the biggest changes in phenolic content were happening at three stages

From the University of Illinois News Bureau URBANA, Ill. - The pork industry appears to be headed for a period of large losses in which excess pork supplies force prices below costs of production, according to Purdue University agricultural economist Chris Hurt.“Demand will likely be weakened by reduced exports with tariffs in place on U.S. pork exports to China and Mexico. On a positive note, Chinese tariffs on U.S. grains and soybeans are helping to erode feed prices along with favorable growing season weather,” Hurt says.The industry has expanded the breeding herd by 3 percent according to a recent USDA producer survey. This is the highest rate of breeding herd expansion since this expansion phase began in 2015. Hurt explains that a breeding herd of this magnitude is likely to be a primary contributor to excess supplies in 2018 and 2019.The market herd was up 3

percent and farrowing intentions for this summer and fall were up 2 percent. With the breeding herd up 3 percent, Hurt says there is concern that actual farrowings this summer and fall could be higher than the 2 percent increase recorded by s u r v e y respondents.According to Hurt, pork supplies will also be large. Firsthalf supplies this year have been up 4 percent and are expected to rise to 5 percent higher in the third quarter this summer, and 4 percent higher in the final quarter of 2018, Hurt explains. Current expected supplies for the first half of 2019 are up 4 percent and 3 percent in the last half of 2019.The second driver of the large losses facing the pork industry revolve around the current trade war the U.S. has entered.“The U.S. pork industry has done an amazing job of producing low costs and highvalue pork products and adapting them to our foreign cus-

tomers,” Hurt says. “As a result, we have targeted exports as a strategic objective to grow the U.S. pork industry. Our success in growing exports to 22 percent of production means that pork became a target of both China and Mexico.”Pork exports started the year with a lot of promise, up 9 percent at the end of April compared to the January to April period last year. Chinese tariffs on U.S. pork began on April 2 and were raised again on July 6 making additional tariffs of at least 50 percent. Mexico placed tariffs of 10 percent on U.S. pork June 5 and raised those to 20 percent July 5.Weekly export data from USDA suggests a sharp drop in pork export sales during the month of June, representing about a 25 percent decrease from last year.“Weakness in exports will be expected as long as the tariffs stay in place. China has also placed tariffs on U.S. beef and poultry which may reduce U.S.

exports of these competitive meats,” he says.Just how large are the loss prospects right now considering the large pork supplies, reduced exports due to tariffs, and reduced feed prices due to tariffs and favorable growi n g conditions?Liveweight prices for 51-52 percent lean carcasses are expected to average about $49 in the third quarter of 2018 before dropping sharply in the last quarter to near $40. Current estimates of cost of production are near $50.In 2019, prices are expected to be below costs for much of the year. Liveweight prices are expected to be in the low $40s in the first quarter and then move to near $50 for averages in the second and third quarter before dropping back to the low $40s for the final quarter.Estimated losses are expected to be large this fall and winter with losses averaging about $25 per head for this six month period. Hog prices may be close to breakeven in

weren’t lost entirely. “We have to focus on the bran and other ‘waste’ products,” Bohn says. “Is it possible to extract these compounds and fortify the food with them? This is what I think is important. Our study showed that at the beginning, there’s variability in corn hybrids for all these compounds but through processing, it’s all leveled off, it’s all gone. But they’re still in the co-products, and I think we could actually recover them and add them to the end prod-

uct.” Butts-Wilmsmeyer says fortifying processed foods with health-promoting, cancer-fighting phenolics could benefit people without easy access to fresh foods, such as Americans living in food deserts. “These itty-bitty compounds are tied to everything,” she says. Both studies were supported by the Kellogg Company and Dow AgroSciences and through a USDA Hatch Grant.

of the dry-milling process: whole kernel, flaking grit, and toasted cornflake. “Since we now have the process miniaturized and can control everything in the lab, we can also start figuring out how we can change the process to recover more of these compounds in the end product,” says Martin Bohn, co-author of the studies and associate professor in the Department of Crop Sciences at U of I. Although the phenolics didn’t make it to the final product, they

the second and third quarters before returning to losses greater than $20 per head in the last quarter of 2019. Losses for the calendar year of 2018 are estimated at a loss of $10 per head and $12 per head of loss in 2019.Feed costs are expected to be somewhat lower in the second half of 2018 versus the first half.“This is especially true for soybean meal where Decatur prices for high protein meal were near $365 per ton in the first half,” Hurt explains. “That same price in the second half is expected to be closer to $340 per ton. Unfortunately, corn costs may be similar in both halves of the year and thus the modestly lower feed costs are not enough to offset low hog prices.”Hurt’s prices for hogs and feed are primarily based on July 9 futures prices. “Clearly, agricultural product markets are in a period of high uncertainty and volatility,” Hurt says. “Weather will continue to be a driver of crop prices over the next six to eight weeks. What happens to tariffs on U.S. exports of crops and animal products will also add dynamic price potential.“Given the heightened level of uncertainty, most pork producers will not want to make longterm decisions at this point. That means carrying on as best they can with short-term plans. The current trade war that agriculture has been unwillingly forced to participate in has an unknown and difficult to predict outcome. Only time will help bring the ‘end game’ into better focus.”

program was used: grower, early finisher, and late finisher diets. In each phase, diets containing 10, 20, or 30 percent fullfat or defatted rice bran were fed, as well as a basal cornsoybean meal diet. “We observed no effect of feeding rice bran on carcass characteristics,” Stein says. “But there were some differences in meat quality, especially protein and fat percentage and marbling.” The protein content of the loin muscle was 7 and 8.7 percent greater, respectively, for pigs fed the greatest amount of full-fat or defatted rice bran than for pigs fed the basal diet.

available in large quantities for livestock feed. Rice bran is high in unsaturated fatty acids, but limited information is available about effects of rice bran on growth performance of growing-finishing pigs and impacts on meat and carcass quality. A new study from the University of Illinois provides this information for the first time. Hans H. Stein, a professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at U of I, explains how dietary fat intake affects the quality of fat in the pig. “Pigs deposit fatty acids in approximately the same proportions as they consume them from the diet. Also, if pigs consume a diet containing a large amount of fat, they will synthesize less fat on their own, which can change the fatty acid composition because the fat synthesized by the pig tends to be more saturated.” More unsaturated fat can lead to softer bellies, which have a shorter shelf life, increased susceptibility to becoming rancid, and reduced sliceability. Stein and a team of researchers conducted an experiment using 224 barrows and gilts over a period of 97 days. A three-phase feeding

WABASH COUNTY 4-H’ERS

fed the maximal amount of full-fat rice bran, by 26 and 31 percent for pigs fed full-fat and defatted rice bran, respectively. The marbling score was 1.88 in meat from pigs fed the basal diet but decreased to 1.00 and 1.25 for the 30 percent full-fat and defatted rice bran diets, respectively. Belly fat was softer if rice bran was included in the diets. The iodine value of belly fat—a measure of unsaturation— increased as more full-fat rice bran was included in the diet; however, feeding up to 30 percent defatted rice bran did not affect iodine value. “The iodine value of fat from the pigs fed diets with full-fat rice bran is probably

greater because those diets contained up to twice as much fat as the basal or defatted rice bran diets,” Stein says. “So the pigs synthesized less fat.” Over the 97-day experimental period, average daily gain was not affected by diet. However, average daily feed intake increased as the inclusion rate of defatted rice bran increased, whereas the opposite was true when full-fat rice bran was included in the diets. As a consequence, the gain-tofeed ratio was greater in pigs fed diets containing fullfat rice bran than defatted rice bran or the basal diet. Stein says the results demonstrate that rice bran can be

used in pig diets, but there are trade-offs. “Including 30 percent full-fat rice bran in diets for growingfinishing pigs may improve gain-to-feed without affecting carcass characteristics or meat quality, although polyunsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissues will increase. However, including up to 30 percent defatted rice bran will reduce gain-to-feed ratio without affecting the loin muscle quality or composition of adipose tissues. Thus, it is a matter of ingredient costs to determine if it is economical to include full-fat rice bran or defatted rice bran in diets for g rowing-finishing pigs.” “We hope that this information will help producers and feed companies make more informed choices about the use of rice bran in swine diets.” The paper, “Effects of full fat rice bran and defatted rice bran on growth performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs,” was coauthored by Gloria Casas, Martin Overholt, Anna Dilger, and Dustin Boler of the U of I. It was published in theJournal of Animal Science.

Producer sentiment inches up By Kami Goodwin kami@purdue.edu W E S T LAFAYETTE – Agricultural producer sentiment rose slightly in June according to the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer. The increase was unexpected given unresolved trade war concerns and sharp price declines for key commodities, including corn, wheat and, especially, soybeans during the month. The June barometer reading of 143 was only 2 points higher than May. The barometer is based on a monthly survey of 400 agricultural producers from across the country. “In June, we saw a sizeable drop in commodity prices that caught many observers by surprise,” said James Mintert, the barometer’s principal investigator and director of Purdue University’s Center for Commercial Agriculture, “But, despite the price decline, producers’ appraisal of current economic conditions improved compared to May. However, it was clear from survey responses that uncertainty regarding the agricultural outlook increased considerably.” The barometer’s rise was under-

pinned by an increase in the Index of Current Conditions, which climbed to 138 compared to a reading of 132 a month earlier. The Index of Future Expectations remained nearly unchanged with a reading of 146 in June, 1 point higher than in May. Each month the survey asks producers whether they expect “good times” or “bad times” in U.S. agriculture, both one-year and five-years ahead. This month, respondents provided mixed responses with many producers shifting to “neutral” and away from a “good” or “bad” response, that suggests a rise in uncertainty for the future. Several times a year, the barometer also asks producers if they expect prices for key commodities to move higher, lower or remain unchanged over the next 12 months. Compared to the beginning of 2018, producers have been slowly signaling that they expect commodity prices to recede and this trend continued in June with an increase in the percentage of producers expecting lower prices. The June barometer survey also asked producers how much their crop acreage changed in 2018 and whether or not they

use flexible cash rental leases to rent farmland. As expected, most farmers’ crop acreage did not change in 2018 compared to a year earlier, but the survey revealed that some farms were expanding crop acreage rapidly. For example, 8 percent of farms increased their crop acreage by more

than 10 percent, and 6 percent of farms increased their crop acreage by up to 10 percent in 2018, compared to 2017. Usage of flexible cash rental leases has been increasing recently and, among the farms in the survey that rent cropland, 36 percent reported they plan to use a flexible cash

rent lease on some of their acreage. “Flexible cash rent leases provide a way for farm operators to share some risk with land owners, while also providing landowners some of the stability that comes with a cash rental agreement. The increase in volatility in crop agriculture could be

stimulating interest in flexible cash rent leases,” said Mintert. Read the full June Ag Economy Barometer report at http://purdue.edu /agbarometer. This month’s report includes additional information on producer’s motivations for utilizing flexible cash rents and making large invest-

ments in their farm operations. The Ag Economy Barometer, Index of Current Conditions and Index of Future Expectations are available on the Bloomberg Terminal under the following ticker symbols: AGECBARO, AGECCURC and AGECFTEX.

Some ways not to foul up summer grilling By Emma Ea Ambrose eeambros@purdue.edu

a rich and dynamic flavor. For cuts going in the smoker, a dry rub is best. For those headed to the grill, either a dry rub or wet marinade will work, just as long as it’s packed with flavor. “Any thermometer is better than no thermometer.” These words should be etched on the surface of every grill, according to Davis and Ford. The surest way to serve safe and tasty meat is to check its internal temperature and make certain it registers at or above the safe minimal internal temperature. An electronic meat thermometer will be more accurate than an analogue one, but either is usually sufficient to gauge if the meat is safe to eat, Ford said. Davis recommended consulting the temperature chart provided by the United States Department of Agriculture. Don’t cross-contaminate. Seriously. Don’t.

Americans love grilling, especially over the summer months. Enter graduate students Melissa Davis and Emily Ford, meat scientists intraining from the Animal Sciences Department at Purdue University. These experts provide these fool-proof tips for anyone seeking to impress their guests and to avoid

giving them food poisoning. Spice it up! Don’t be afraid of spices, Davis said, adding that too often people throw meat on the grill without seasoning or marinating it first. Her favorite seasoning for grilling out is Lawry’s® Seasoned Salt, but she encouraged folks to play around with their favorite flavors and spices. The key is to have some kind of seasoning or marinade to give the meat

every year. If you don’t want to be a CDC statistic, Davis and Ford advised paying close attention to the utensils you’re using to handle raw verses cooked meat. “Make sure you change your gloves and your tongs frequently,” Davis said, and pay careful attention to surfaces. “If you start with raw products on one side of the grill, make sure everything that’s cooked ends up on the other side.” Additionally, if you’re marinating a cut of meat on the grill, don’t dip brushes that have touched raw or semi-cooked meat into the marinade and definitely don’t use the marinade the raw meat was steeped in. Prepare a separate dressing. Finally, if you’re handling raw meat without gloves, wash your hands frequently with soap and hot water. That gray meat at the grocery store? Don’t overlook it. The crowds beat you to the grocery store and now all that’s left are the less visually appetizing cuts of meat. Ford and Davis said don’t ignore cuts of meat just because they aren’t a bright red or the color of cuts you see on the Food Network. “The meat that looks a little off in color has simply been packaged before it’s been oxygenated,” Ford said.

but Ford said there’s a reason it should be a staple when grilling out. “If your pork is dry, all you have to do is just add a little apple juice to enhance flavor and rehydrate the product. You can do it with pork chops, loins and even pulled pork,” Ford said. The apple juice should be used as soon as the meat comes off the grill and before it’s

served. The apple juice will absorb, meaning the product doesn’t need to be cooked again. And, for the more adventurous meat smokers, Ford added, spraying down the outside of a meat product with apple juice every hour to half hour will give it a nice crust when finished.

What to do after suffering a sunburn

Summer fun routinely involves days spent soaking up some of the sun’s rays. Relaxing days at the beach, barbecues in the backyard or picnics at the park can make for fun summer activities that create lasting memories. While spending time in the great outdoors is a great way to take advantage of summer weather, it’s important that revelers take steps to prevent sunburn when spending days beneath the hot summer sun. Sunburns may seem temporary, but the Skin Cancer Foundation notes that sunburn can cause long-lasting skin damage. In addition, the SCF notes that a person’s risk for melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, doubles if he or she has had more than five sunburns. It can take several

hours to notice the full damage of a sunburn, though some people may notice mild symptoms of sunburn more quickly than that. The SCF recommends that people get out of the sun at the first sign of sunburn, and then take the following steps to treat their skin. • Cool the skin down quickly. People sitting near cool water, whether it’s the ocean or a backyard pool, should take a quick dip to cool their skin. Make this dip quick so your skin is not further exposed to the sun. After taking a dip, cover up your skin and get out of the sun, continuing to cool the skin with a cold compress. Do not apply ice directly to sunburned skin. Some people may want to take a cool shower or bath after suffering a sunburn. While that’s alright, the SCF recommends

keeping the bath or shower short, as long baths or showers can dry the skin, and avoiding harsh soap that can be irritating. • Moisturize skin while it’s still damp. Apply a gentle moisturizing lotion while the skin is still damp, and continue doing so to affected areas for a few days. Avoid petroleum- or oil-based ointments, as they can trap the heat and make burns worse. • Decrease inflammation. A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) like aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen can help sunburned men and women manage the pain and discomfort associated with their sunburns. Symptoms such as redness and swelling may be mitigated with a 1 percent over-the-counter cortisone cream applied as directed for a few days. • Wear the right clothing. Tight cloth-

ing can rub up against sunburned skin and irritate it even further. Until sunburned skin returns to normal, wear loose, soft and breathable clothing to keep irritation to a minimum. • Make a conscious effort to stay hydrated. Sunburns draw fluid to the surface of skin, taking it away from the rest of the body. So it’s important that men and women who have suffered a sunburn make a conscious effort to drink more fluids until their skin heals so they can avoid becoming dehydrated. • Report severe sunburns to a physician. Symptoms of severe sunburn include blistering of the skin, fever, chills, wooziness, and/or feelings of confusion. Report such symptoms to a physician immediately, and avoid popping blis-

Applying moisturizer to damp skin can help men and women reduce irritation resulting from sunburn. ters, as doing so can lead to infection. Sunburns can always be avoided.

Men, women and children planning to spend time in the sun should take every

measure to avoid sunburn, which can produce long-lasting damage to the skin.

Weigh down the sandwiches with cast-iron pans to flatten out the sandwiches. Savory salads Cool salads can be refreshing and light on hot summer evenings. Salads can range from tradition lettuce- or greens-based salads to pasta salads and chicken or tuna salads. Mix ingredients in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Serve chilled with toppings like shredded cheese, bacon bits and croutons to dress up the salads.

Officials caution Hoosiers after resident develops flu following exposure to pigs From the ISDH INDIANAPOLIS— The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) and Indiana Board of Animal Health (BOAH) are urging Hoosiers to take steps to prevent illness while visiting events where pigs are exhibited following confirmation of a case of influenza in a resident with exposure to pigs. This is the first human case of H3N2 variant influenza reported in Indiana since 2013 and the first human case in the U.S. this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which confirmed the test results Friday. H3N2 variant influenza is most commonly associated with contact with pigs. The Indiana resident became ill after being exposed to pigs during a county fair that has since ended. The resident is recovering. The affected county health department has been notified and is collaborating with the ISDH and BOAH on the

investigation. No additional details about the patient or the fair will be released at this time in order to maintain the patient’s privacy. Influenza viruses can be directly transmitted from pigs to people and from people to pigs. Human infections are most likely to occur when people are in close proximity to infected pigs, such as in barns and livestock exhibits at fairs. Influenza viruses are not transmitted by eating pork and pork products.According to the CDC, more than 400 cases of H3N2 variant influenza have been identified in people nationwide since 2011. More than one-third of those cases have occurred in Indiana. “Seeing animals is one of the highlights of going to the fair, but it’s important to remember that animals can carry diseases that can make people sick,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, MD, FACOG. “Washing your hands after attending animal exhibits and

practicing good food hygiene can help prevent illness and ensure that the fair and other events remain a healthy and fun experience.” Hoosiers can protect themselves by taking the following steps: Avoid eating, drinking, using tobacco or putting anything else in your mouth while in pig barns and show arenas. Avoid taking toys, pacifiers, cups, bottles, strollers or similar items into pig barns and show arenas. Wash hands often with soap and running water before and after attending pig exhibits. If soap and water are not available, use an alcoholbased hand rub. Stay home if you are sick with flu-like illness. People at high risk for serious complications from the flu should avoid pigs and should not enter swine barns. These populations include children younger than 5, pregnant women, people age 65 and older and people

with long-term health conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease, as well as those with weakened immune systems. Fair exhibitors are encouraged to watch pigs for signs of illness, such as loss of appetite, lethargy, fever, cough or runny nose. Exhibitors should minimize the number of people who have contact with ill swine and notify the fair veteri-

narian or manager that their animal might be ill. People who must come in contact with pigs that are exhibiting signs of illness should wash their hands frequently with soap and water and wear protective clothing, including gloves and masks that cover the mouth and nose. Additional guidance for exhibitors can be found on the CDC w e b s i t e at https://www.cdc.g

Did you know? Standing water is a common sight at many homes during summer. Rainstorms may not last as long in summer as they do during other times of year, but the water they leave behind can still be harmful. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, standing water is a breeding ground for various microorganisms. When those microorganisms become airborne, they can be inhaled by men, women and children, potentially triggering allergic reactions. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that studies have indicated that female mosquitoes like to lay their eggs in water that col-

lects or is stored in manmade containers. If it rains and water covers mosquito eggs, the eggs can hatch and become adults in

roughly one week. The CDC advises men and women to protect themselves from mosquitoes by walking their properties once per

Questions to ask before taking a gap year High school seniors are on the cusp of significant change as they begin their final year of secondary school. As students try to decide what to do after high school, many will be preoccupied with applying to college and exploring their interests in the hopes of finding the right subject to study upon enrolling in college or university. Students consider those weighty decisions while simultaneously preparing to leave home for the first time and focusing on their schoolwork. While the vast majority of high school seniors will enroll in a college or

university in the fall after they earn their high school diplomas, a small but growing number of teenagers are taking gap years. A gap year is a year away from the classroom between high school and college that students use to gain more life experience as they try to decide what they want to do with the rest of their lives. The Gap Year Association notes that gap year planning should be conducted with purpose and intent. While the gap year need not be as structured as a typical school year, a year entirely free of structure might not provide the insight

students are hoping for. In fact, the Gap Year Association recommends students answer the following questions before taking a gap year so they can be sure they’re making the best decision possible. How can I make college possible after my gap year? The Gap Year Association recommends students confirm whether they need to defer, take a leave of absence or arrange for a C o n s o r t i u m Agreement in order to enroll in college after their gap years. Make a note of all deadlines, including

when tuition deposits are due, before taking a gap year so your enrollment is not jeopardized. How long do I have for my gap year? Fitting a gap year into existing academic structures should allow students ample time to get what they want out of their gap years and still afford them the chances to earn money via summer jobs. So students who plan to travel or volunteer overseas should aim to do so during the months they would normally be in school.

Should I go with a group or go it alone? Students should assess how they have fared in collaborative situations in the past as they try to decide if a group setting or something more independent is best for them. Students may fare better in teams or working alone, and that can be used to inform their decisions. However, students who want to challenge themselves to grow may benefit by making a decision that takes them out of their comfort zones. How much structure do I need? Some students

may take gap years to get a break from the structure of student life. But students should be honest with themselves when assessing just how little structure they can handle. A year completely free from structure can be disorganized and therefore not as enlightening as students hope. In addition, students must consider safety concerns when deciding how much structure they want. Going it alone with very little structure may put students in compromising, unsafe situations, a potentially dangerous course for students who have spent their lives within the often protective confines of school and family. Where do I want to be, and what do I want to do? A lack of purpose or direction during a gap year will not provide students with much insight into themselves and the

What is my budget? Gap years can be enlightening, but they also can be expensive. Students should figure out how they’re going to finance their gap years in advance. Students who will need to work during their gap years should make sure work does not take up so much time that the goal of their gap year, namely learning about oneself, is compromised. Gap years can help students learn about themselves. But like many of the other decisions facing teenagers as they prepare to graduate high school, the decision to take a gap year requires careful consideration of a host of factors.

Go green when spending time outdoors this summer

The great outdoors beckons people yearround. But nature is especially enticing in summer, when warm weather compels people to leave their couches and soak up some sun. Spending time outdoors is rewarding, and it can be even more so when men and women take steps to make their outdoor recreation as ecofriendly as possible. Whether it’s choosing certain activities or taking other measures, there are various ways to go green when spending time outdoors this summer and beyond. • Leave the car at home. Americans and Canadians consume more gasoline per capita than any people in the world. According to data from the U.S. Energy I n f o r m a t i o n Administration and the United Nations, Americans consume 4.39 liters of gasoline per capita each day, while Canadians consume 3.62 liters per capita each day. In lieu of driving everywhere this summer, men and women who want to be more mindful of the environment can leave their cars home more frequently. Rather than driving the family to a nearby ice cream stand, walk or bike there instead. Run as many errands on foot or on a bicycle as possible. Walking or

cycling is a great way to get some time outdoors on warm summer days, and reducing fuel consumption is an equally great way to help the planet. • Vacation locally. Another way to help the planet when spending time outdoors this summer is to vacation locally. People who vacation close to home typically do not fly, and that’s a significant benefit to the planet. The Intergover nmental Panel on Climate Change notes that aviation emissions release black carbon, nitrous oxide and sulphur oxide, which contribute to the greenhouse gas effect. And while the EIA notes that automobiles and airplanes produce relatively similar amounts of carbon dioxide per gallon, airplanes burn considerably more fuel than cars, thanks in large part to the considerable amount of fuel planes burn on the runway.

rare, regular summer tires will fit the bill for most driving conditions until temperatures plummet. Then it’s worth switching to winter tires. If motorists are particularly concerned with

improving water displacement on wet roadways, they can select tires that have specific tread patterns designed to evenly redistribute water as the tire hits the pavement.

Drivers may benefit by changing their tires when seasons change. Winter tires perform better when temperatures remain below 45 F and not just when it is snowing, which is why using the term “snow tires” is a bit of a misnomer. Regular tires, sometimes referred to as “summer” tires, tend to work better when the mercury climbs, as the rubber can become inflexible in colder temperatures. Despite the name, all-season tires do not necessarily make them superior in all seasons. They tend to offer better grip in snow than summer tires, but according to Popular Mechanics, they do not perform as well when roads are damp,

awaited those final days of classes so they could lounge poolside, skip rocks across ponds and spend the long days of the season playing with friends. But many of today’s youngsters spend much of their summer vacations indoors playing with their digital devices.

Perhaps that’s why one of the last vestiges of the classic summer vacation escape — summer camp — remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends. Although kids needn’t be in camp all summer long, a week

Summer camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized, yet often easygoing, camp schedule, kids can dabble in sports, arts and crafts, leadership, community support, and so many other activities that may not be fully available to them elsewhere. 2. Physical activity: Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes place

outdoors. Campers may spend their time swimming, running, hiking, playing sports, climbing, and so much more. This can be a welcome change for kids accustomed to living sedentary lifestyles. Regular physical activity has many health benefits and can set a foundation for healthy habits as an adult. 3. Gain confidence. Day and sleepaway camps offer campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in selfesteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed. Campers learn independence, decision-making skills and the ability to thrive outside of the shadow of their parents, siblings or other students. 4. Try new things. Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that’s learning to cook, exploring new environments or embracing a new sport or leisure activity. Opening oneself up to new opportunities can build character and prove enlightening for children. 5. Make new friends. Camp is a great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers flood in from areas near and far. This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools. Camps benefit children in a variety of ways. Lessons learned in camp can strengthen values, build confidence, develop coping mechanisms when adversity strikes, and enable campers to make lifelong friends.

THE PAPER

What consumers can do after a data breach As the summer of 2017 drew to a close, news broke of a data breach at the credit monitoring agency Equifax. Reports suggested the breach might have compromised the sensitive personal information of as many as 143 million Americans, or roughly half the adult population of the United States. In the digital age, consumers are more vulnerable to such breaches than ever before. Data stolen as part of the Equifax breach included names, social security numbers and birthdates, among other personal information. Consumers concerned about data breaches can take certain steps to deter-

mine if they have been compromised while also taking measures to safeguard themselves against future breaches. When breaches happen News of the Equifax breach understandably inspired panic among consumers, and future data breaches will be no different. Hackers who gain access to consumers’ personal information can steal identities, file false tax returns, take out loans in unsuspecting consumers’ names, and commit a host of other crimes that can negatively affect consumers’ credit ratings and compromise their

ability to secure loans in the future. When a breach happens, consumers should do the following. • Contact the agency that was affected. After acknowledging it had been breached, Equifax set up a website (https://trustedidpremier.com/eligibility/eligibility.html) where consumers could find out if their information had been compromised by the breach. When using such websites, consumers should make sure they are using secure connections, as they will be asked to enter personal information. • Examine credit reports. Even if individuals’ personal information was not compromised, they can monitor their credit reports for suspicious activity. Many credit card companies now provide monthly credit report updates to cardholders. Individuals should monitor these to see if any new accounts have been opened without their knowledge. If ratings suddenly plummet despite relative inactivity from consumers, they should contact one of the major reporting agencies for a thorough report. Such reports are typically free once per year. Future breaches Breaches are seemingly inevitable in the digital age. Concerned consumers can take steps to protect themselves against future breach-

es. • Continue monitoring credit reports. Individuals should take advantage of the monthly credit rating reports offered by their credit card companies even if no breaches have been reported. Hackers may sell consumers’ information, which thieves can then sit on for years before ultimately using to commit financial fraud. Routine monitoring can help consumers instantly address any suspicious activity before things spiral out of control. • Place a fraud alert on all accounts. Fraud alerts warn creditors that individuals may have been compromised by past data breaches, forcing them to verify that credit or loan applicants are legitimate before they can open any new accounts or take out any loans. • File taxes as early as possible. Criminals with access to consumers’ personal information can file false tax returns and steal their refunds before consumers even realize they have been victimized. File early, before thieves have had a chance to file false returns. Consumer data breaches can affect every facet of consumers’ lives. Knowing what to do when such breaches occur and how to reduce their risk of being victimized can help consumers when the next breach occurs.
