‘Mother Earth’ cleans up Salamonie and Mississinewa reservoirs By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com Tree debris and trash removal is underway at Salamonie and Mississinewa reservoirs after heavy rains flooded both state parks throughout May, June and early July. The majority of the clean up has been removing debris that fell loose from the edges of the reservoir, according to Rick Trobridge, Salamonie Reservoir representative. “When it floods like that, it loosens the ground and trees will either break loose and fall into the reservoir or anything that’s floated up into the tree and gotten caught before floats back out into (the lake),” Trobridge told The Paper of Wabash County in a phone interview. When the lake floods, as water rises, trash surfaces and floats away from the edge of the water, he continued. As the water recedes, the reservoir’s grounds crew locates and removes the debris left behind. This year, floodwaters reached record-breaking elevations for both reservoirs, 793.41 feet at Salamonie Lake and 772.25 feet at Mississinewa Lake, according to the Army Corps of Engineers press release. Due to the elevations, local wildlife began to concentrate in dryer parts of the parks. Trobridge said, with the water receding, the animals are beginning to spread out again. “At Lost Bridge West where we’re at right now and the main (continued on page 5)

2 facing drug charges By The Paper staff Two people have been arrested in connection with operating a meth lab in the City of Wabash. Sgt. Matt Benson, the Wabash Police Department’s Public Information Officer, announced Sunday that the pair, Bradley Gressley, 25, and Samantha King, 34, were BRADLEY arrested following an GRESSLEY incident on Monday, Aug. 3. According to the news release: Wabash Police allege they located Gressley and King manufacturing meth at 11:11 p.m. Aug. 3. Capt. Ryan Short allegedly observed the pair in the 300 block of West Maple Street carrying an active meth lab. The Wabash Drug Task Force

was contacted and an investigation led to a search warrant for a home at 258 N. Comstock St. The alleged active meth lab was dismantled and disposed of with the assistance of the Indiana State Police Methamphetamine Disposal Team. Gressley was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and SAMANTHA KING possession of a hypodermic needle. King was charged with manufacturing of methamphetamine. Benson said the investigation is still active and more criminal charges are anticipated against others. Assisting Short were Cpl. Chad Galligan, Cpl. Josh Prater, and Patrolman Phil Mickelson.

Public reaction mixed to talk of consolidation

The Wabash City School Board broached the topic of consolidation, long a hot button around Wabash County, on Monday, Aug. 3. Board member Bill Konyha brought the matter up during a portion of the board meeting designed for comments from the board. Rather than calling for consolidation, Konyha suggested that it was time for Wabash City Schools and MSD of Wabash County to discuss “unification.” “We have tried for more than three years to consistently seek ways to incrementally unify our two school systems,” Konyha said in an interview with The Paper of Wabash County. “We cooperated with one another by hiring a joint Chief Academic Officer rather than us each pay curriculum directors. We cooperated with IT functions. “We tried to talk about transportation and business office functions and had that progress halted. We tried to have unification talks, to do so with superintendents and board presidents. “We urged joint talks with full boards, and progress simply has not been forthcoming.” Joining the two districts would help in a number of areas, none the least of which is helping to save costs. But, Konyha added, it also will benefit the students. “It will enable us to move further into STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and the arts,” he said. “We need to do this in order to attract young couples with children to help us stem the tide of population loss. We need to increase our educational attainment in order to attract 21st century jobs. “Today, employers are more interested in locating where there is a workforce in place … a workforce trained for 21st century workplace issues, even manufacturing.” Konyha is in his final months as a member of the Wabash City School Board. His term expires in December. When he joined the board, he served as the President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County. He resigned that post late last year when he became executive director of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). “For more than nine years I have preached the gospel of removing our eyes from the

The public’s reaction to proposed unification talks between Wabash City Schools and MSD of Wabash County officials have been split. Those in favor of it cited economic savings and the chance to offer more classes to students as reasons to proceed with talks. However, those against it believe the schools and classes will become to big and their youngsters will become, in many people’s words, “just a number.” MeLisa Jones was among those speaking out against the proposal, made at the Wabash City Schools board meeting on Aug. 3 by board member Bill Konyha. “Other cities and districts have consolidated and it has caused more hassle than good with students, parents and school officials,” she wrote on The Paper of Wabash County’s Facebook page. “Why tamper with education by changing w hat has and still does work best for the kids? “The kids are who is important – their education, their safety, their future.” Meghann Jacobs and Marge Young also spoke against the proposal. “It wouldn’t work,” Jacobs wrote on Facebook. “Too many kids and not enough space in programs.” Young added, “Too many kids get lost and are just a number in the larger schools.” Joe Schneider believes consolidation would provide some economic relief for the school districts. “A small county like Wabash has four high schools,” he wrote on Facebook. “We need to consolidate. That is why we pay all those taxes.” Leigh Rowan also supported consolidation – or unification, as the Konyha is calling it – talks. “It’s been needed with the shrinking population,” she said. Brady Smith was a student at Northfield in the 1990s when a vote to consolidate

Local health department discuss budget plans By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash County Board of Health approved the Health Department’s budget submission for the upcoming year on Tuesday July 28 at the board’s quarterly meeting. This year, the budgets will “look a little different for several reasons,” said Dr.

Jeffrey Pyle, president. First, he noted, the board typically has four sub-budgets including the County Health Fund, Local Health Maintenance Fund, Trust Fund and Accreditation Fund. “The Trust and Accreditation were fairly straight forward. Those are both funded by grant monies and those came together pretty

routinely like they do each year,” he said. “Currently, we had to move all of our Local Health Maintenance items, that we would normally have in our Local Health Maintenance, all got moved to County Health for the time being. “If you look in lieu of our current situation that we’re dealing with, the (County) Council and the (State of Indiana) on the issue of the supplantation of the funds, until that gets resolved everything gets shoved into County Health for the time being. When that gets resolved, we can move some things back to where they were before.” However, the “biggest” number change in the budget submission regards vaccines, Pyle said, as there will be a significant increase in vaccine expenditures and

income. In the past, the state would provide each county “free-ofcharge” vaccines for children. “The only vaccines that we purchased before were non-childhood required vaccines such as influenza and travel vaccines of such, and then those that you get charged for brought revenue back in,” Pyle said. “With the advent of insurance, the state now wants us to purchase the vaccines for children as much as possible and then bill those out through insurance. “So the net result is still neutral. It’s just handling a lot more dollars through our budgets to do that. … Potentially, the vaccines should generate a little bit of positive revenue over the costs of the vaccines themselves.” The state and local health department will continue to provide free vaccines for residents that do not carry medical insurance, Pyle said. The final budget changes included a 3 percent pay raise for the department’s employees and

reduced cellphone expenditure by $700. The Wabash County Board of Health’s official 2015-2016 budget will be approved and finalized by the Wabash County Council later this year. In addition to the budget, Pyle also addressed the possibility of raising the Health Department’s service fees. “One of the things that we’ve talked about in the past, especially when I got more involved in our budgets and such, was that you’ve heard me talk about that we want to try and run the Health Department a lot like a small business,” Pyle said. “And one things that we are running into and experiencing is a lack of tax revenue to function. So we are being called it ‘forced’ or being directed to become more and more independent or self-sufficient financially. “One of the potential ways of doing that is through the generation of fees for services and or products that we provide within the very sec-

“Because,” he continued, “I don’t know that our hand is being forced. I don’t know that we don’t have any other alternative (to generate funds) and we just increased them a year ago and they’re on par with what other health departments are. That’s my feeling.” “When dealing with public, there’s going to be a certain percentage that’s not going to get their shots or gets their permits or get their licenses of one kind or another because they don’t want to pay the fee,” added Dr. David Roe, health officer. “Jane is absolutely right in that we are providing a service to the public,” he continued. “And to some extent we have to eat the fees and the costs because we want to have services available for people who can’t pay for them.” The board voted 7-0 to leave fees at the current rates.

tions of the department.” Pyle proposed fee increases based on estimates of how much time the department employees spend performing services, such as inspections, answering questions or submitting permits. However, it was met with opposition from the board’s members and department heads. Board member Jane Skeans said that she never did agreed with fees in the first place. “I feel that we’re public servants,” Skeans said. “We’re there for the public, to protect them from diseases or whatever.” Pyle said that it was the board’s duty to review the current department fees and consider an increase if necessary. The last fee increase was in 2014. Dr. Eric Reichenbach, board member, suggested to “keep fees the way they are.”

Six alumni and two non-graduates will be inducted into the 2015 Hall of Distinction, Wabash City Schools a n n o u n c e d Wednesday Aug. 5.

Sinkholes could cost city $1.7 million to fix Officials expect work to continue several more weeks By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com It could take at least one month, and upwards of $1.7 million, to fix a series of sink holes that cropped up in recent weeks on South Cass and South Carroll streets. That was the word Wednesday, Aug. 5, to the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety from City Attorney Doug Lehman and interim Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent Rick Price. The pair was updating the board about the situation, which first appeared in late June due to heavy rain that hit much of the area that month. Two sinkholes, one on Carroll and one on Cass, first appeared about June 28. Crews trying to repair the first two holes discovered a third Tuesday, Aug. 4. The board, after hearing the updates, declared the sinkholes an emergency. The declaration was needed, Lehman informed the board, because had it not been declared an emergency, the city would have to go through formal bidding procedures as spelled out in state statutes. “Under state statute we’re required to come up with specifications, advertise for bids and then take the bids,” he said. “We did not do any of that, and the reason we didn’t do any of that is because we had an emergency situation. The statue authorizes you not to go through that process if it’s an emergency.” Getting bids would have delayed any work at the site for at least an additional four weeks. “In the situation we’re in, all I can say is (bids) were not an option,” Price said. During the update, he noted that to be declared an emergency, a situation must meet one of three criteria as determined by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The situation must pose an immediate danger or threat to citizens, the second is bypassing the waste-

long-term control plan to replace its combined sewer lines called for replacing lines along Cass Street. “Since we have Cass dug up, we decided to proceed with a part of that,” Price said. “It makes no sense to repair this line, or replace this line, then come back in a year and a half or two years and have to do con-

Street crews began working on the sinkholes located at South Cass and South Carroll streets last week. The sinkholes appeared in late June as a result of heavy rain and flooding that hit much of that area that month. The project could cost Wabash City approximately $1.7 million to fix.

struction and tear the blacktop up.” Mayor Robert Vanlandingham had a more philosophical approach to the matter. “We can be thankful we haven’t lost any equipment and nobody has gotten hurt. It could have been very dangerous. “Imagine what it would have been like if we didn’t have the dams.”

The city also had lost sewer service to its east side after three lines going to the Wastewater Treatment Plant were severed and collapsed. That problem has since been rectified. “All of our residents do have sewer service,” Price emphasized. “Through the course of that, we also collected a lot of mud, trash, rock and debris coming into the Wastewater Treatment Plant. That was the main reason for sending raw wastewater into the river. That has since stopped.” The board also

received a letter from city engineer Keith Bryant of United Consulting, detailing the problems caused by the sinkholes. “The conditions caused by the extreme rainfall and river elevations resulted in infrastructure failures at a magnitude exceeding the city personnel’s ability to correct,” Bryant wrote. “The danger to public health and safety was evident and as such the city promptly

moved ahead with contractors to mitigate the dangers and to rectify the situation as soon as possible. “The conditions warranted such emergency actions, in our opinion.” Price noted that representatives from the IDEM have visited the city three times since the problem first arose. In spite of the problems, there also is a bit of silver lining. Part of the city’s

Board tables mosquito spraying measure By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

After some lengthy debate on Wednesday, Aug. 5, the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety delayed a decision on allowing the city to spray for mosquitoes during functions by non-profit organizations. The question came about after the city was asked to spray near the Honeywell House for the July 31 “Jazz on the Lawn” event. The city’ Street Department, which is in charge of spraying, often gets calls from

residents asking them to spray their homes when crews are out, City Attorney Doug Lehman noted. “For the most part, we really don’t want to get into that type of thing,” he continued. “However, occasionally there is some type of community event where spraying might make sense. The reason we do it is because it’s a public health issue. “If it’s not going to be a major expense to the city, it makes sense to go ahead in some of those special events to do it.” Under the proposal presented the board, spraying would be

allowed at certain public events, however those requesting the spraying could be charged for the service. “It has to be open to the public,” Lehman said, explaining the type of events that would be considered. “Open to the public doesn’t mean that there can’t be a charge for it. But there’s no restrictions in terms of membership or other restrictions on who can participate in it. Signs notifying the public that the area has been sprayed also would be required under the measure. The fee, under the proposal, would be $50 if it was during a scheduled spray, or $150 if it was during a special spray. And that is where the debate among board members began. Board member Greg Metz asked if the fees covered the city’s costs. Street Department Superintendent Scott Richardson said if the request was on the scheduled spraying route it would. “If we have to make a special trip, have to call some guys in, that’s why there’s an increase in the cost,” he continued. Metz said, “I don’t have a problem doing

this, but I want to cover our costs.” However board member Dee Byerly thought the fee should be larger, suggesting $100 for scheduled spray and $200 for special sprays. “I think it should be $100, at least, the bare minimum,” he said. “I don’t care if it’s a 501(c)3 or they’re doing it for a business, they’re doing it for a profit. I don’t think the city owes that to them.” Metz reiterated, “I don’t have any problem with it. As long as it doesn’t cost us any money, that’s all I really care about. As long as we know our cost is not greater then what we charge somebody, I’ve got no problem, as long as it is a 501(c)3 not-for-

profit.” Metz wondered if the size of the area sprayed might better help determine the cost. “I think it probably also depends on the size of the area being covered,” he said. “I mean, fifty bucks for a tenth of an acre, but what if it’s a threeacre field out there that somebody wants sprayed. I think we need to take into account that some of these are a heck of a lot bigger areas than in town.” Metz suggested tabling the resolution to give board members a better chance to discuss the matter. “I’m not sure that the way it’s put together here is the best it could be,” he said. “You need to fac-

tor in the size of the area you’re covering. Let’s talk about it a little bit more.” Lehman cautioned about making the matter too complicated. “In that regard, you might want to consider that this is the standard fee for an area and have a rough description of an area, then anything larger than it would be determined by the Street Department commissioner, who is in charge of this,” he said. Metz also questioned who is to determine if it is an individual or a non-profit group making the request. “What if I contract with Honeywell to have a wedding at the Honeywell House,

does that qualify,” he asked. “I’m the one paying Honeywell, but Honeywell gets the permit. Is that legitimate? If that’s legitimate, you’re going to have these coming in all the time.” Lehman responded with, “Is your wedding going to be open to the public, that anyone that wants to come can come?” Lehman also addressed the issue of the board further discussing the matter. “I want to make it clear that you’re not going to be discussing it further among yourselves,” he said. “You’re going to be doing your own research and discussing it with Scott, individually.”

Plans taking shape for Smokin’ for a Cause By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Third Annual Smokin’ for a Cause event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19, at Paradise Spring Historical Park. Gary Henderson said he and other organizers are looking for individuals and teams interested in participating in the event, which will benefit Relay for Life, the LIFE Center and an ALS charity. But they also are looking for non-profit organizations interested in setting up displays to promote itself and what it does. “The smoking contest is to benefit the community and to raise money for the c o m m u n i t y, ” Henderson said. “But I want people to know, take the Elks for instance. What is the Elks? Relay for Life? What does this money go for? ALS? Cystic Fibrosis? “We have all these entities in town, but no one knows where

to go (for help).” The non-profits don’t have to participate in the cook-off on Sept. 19, or any other event sponsored by Smokin’ for a Cause to have the free space to promote itself. “I think people are afraid that we’re going to ask something from them, but we’re not,” Henderson said. “We’re just giving them a location to explain to people who they are.” The space for nonprofits is just one of several changes planned for this year’s event. “We’re going to add chicken this year for a grill category,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “We’re doing pulled pork, ribs and then chicken, chicken leg quarters.” The grilling event was added to allow those who like to cook outdoors, but who don’t use smokers to cook, to participate in the event. The top entry in each the pulled pork, ribs and chicken categories will receive a

$250 prize. Meanwhile, the overall grand champion will receive a $500 grand prize. Henderson said the organization is encouraging participation through several different means. “Of course, there’s individual teams,” he said. “If you, as an individual, want it.” And while non-profits don’t have to be involved with the cooking aspect of the contest, Henderson said non-profits are more than welcome to cook should members want to do so. The entry fee is $25. Smokin’ for a Cause provides all the meat that is used during the event. The individual teams are responsible for providing its own smoker or grill, spices and other items needed in preparing the meat for serving. “We provide all the pork,” Henderson said. “Whatever they can smoke. We give them one rib and one butt for the contest. Then if they can smoke five butts and four ribs, that’s what

we’ll give them. Some people can only smoke a couple. Whatever is left over we’ll put in our big smoker, so we’ll have plenty for the crowd.” To help raise funds to purchase the meat, the organization sold food at the Wabash County 4-H Fair. “We went through 800 pounds of pork, 45 slabs of ribs and 125 pounds of potatoes,” he said. “Our signature items, pulled pork, ribs, coleslaw, beans and smoked potatoes … we’ll have all those available at Smokin’ for a Cause.” Food will be served beginning at 4 p.m. Sept. 19. The cost is $7 for those wanting pulled pork, $10 for those wanting ribs and pork. The number of teams participating at the 2014 event was up from 2013. The first year there were 14 teams participating. Last year there were 16, and Henderson would like to see at least that many this year. “I’d say anywhere

between 16 and 20 teams would be great,” he said. Another new addition this year, Henderson said, is a car show. He also would like to offer kids’ games, and is looking for an individual or group interested in helping with that aspect of the event. “I’m looking for someone to take the kids’ part and do something,” he said. “That would encourage the whole family to attend.” Any non-profit wanting to have a spot to pass out literature, or anyone interested in cooking at the event can contact Henderson either through Facebook or at the event’s webpage, smokinforacause.org

They’re starting to spread back out a little more now.” Mississinewa Lake announced on Aug. 3 that its annual dove hunt will be cancelled this fall due to flooding over the dove’s usual habitat. Trobridge similarly reported that Salamonie’s dove population will be “a lot less than what it normally would be” due to habitat flooding. Salamonie Lake

reopened its campground on Friday Aug. 7. Several areas, including The Point, will remain closed through Aug. 10 due to high water levels in the area. While the high waters caused the parks to shut down several areas, there might have been some good that came out of the flooding as well, according to Trobridge. “Well, the water got so high this year that some of the trash that we’ve picked up and gotten cleaned up were things that we didn’t even know were there,” Trobridge said. “It’s stuff that’s been laying there (unseen) for so long.

Rev Gusto rocks Wabash By Adam B. Smith news@thepaperofwabash.com

When local father and son duo Machine Solutions left the stage on Aug. 4, Wabash residents weren’t quite ready for the fast and heavy music to follow. Kansas City, Kan., band Rev Gusto stopped in Wabash to play a show at the Honeywell Center Plaza as part of a tour supporting their new album. Their tourmates, St. Joseph, Mo., band Scruffy & The Janitors, accompanied them at Tuesday’s show. Mara Rose-Morales said she and her husband, Jose Morales, saw the event advertised in the newspaper and decided they wanted to try out a new band. She said they enjoyed watching the show and being outside, but Rev Gusto and Scruffy & The Janitors surprised her. “It’s more like the college scene, I think,” Rose-Morales said. “It’s really, really fast.” Rev Gusto are currently on tour in support of their debut album “Burn Out Friends.” They released the album July 28 through the Kansas City, Mo., record label High Dive Records. Jerry Frederick, the band’s lead vocalist, said releasing the album was a relief because it took forever to make. “It’s nice to actually hold it in your hand,” bass guitarist Sam Frederick said. The band refers to their music as

County awaiting disaster declaration By The Paper staff

Wabash County is one of nearly more than 50 counties in Indiana that are waiting on a disaster designation from Washington due to the excessive amount of rainfall this year. Once that designation is received, eligible producers may apply for low interest loans from FSA Farm Loan offices. A follow up article

with more details will be forth coming. Even without the disaster designation FSA offices do have in place a couple of programs that may assist a few producers receive some assistance. The first program is the E m e r g e n c y Livestock Assistance Program (ELAP). This program is designed to assist producers that graze livestock and had to

remove those livestock from flooded pasture. Those who have that situation are encouraged to contact the Wabash County FSA office at 260-563-3145 and set up an appointment. Personnel there will go over what information is needed to properly complete an application. Program option number two is the E m e r g e n c y Conservation

Program (ECP). This program is designed to assist farmers and ranchers who have suffered losses to their fields due to flooding. Crop losses do not fit under this program. Damage to fences and debris left in fields that needs to be removed before fields can be farmed again are a couple of examples. Program policy states land adjacent to reser-

voirs that are damaged when reservoirs fill up are not eligible for assistance. Again call 260563-3145 and set an appointment. At the present time there are no disaster programs available to assist producers who have suffered crop losses due to excessive rain causing their fields to flood. Congress is relying on the purchase of crop insur-

ance by producers to cover those losses. Don’t hesitate to call

Brainard Excavating to demolish former Brown Trucking site By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Only two firms submitted quotes to the City of Wabash to demolish the former Brown Trucking building, located across from the

Wabash County YMCA. B r a i n a r d Excavating submitted a quote of $15,325, while CAT Excavating’s quote was $35,000. Each firm also had a $25,000 allowance for landfill fees in the quotes

The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety accepted the Brainard quote at its meeting Wednesday, Aug. 5. The allowance for landfill fees was new to the quoting or bidding process. “The allowance is

there to keep everyone on the same plane,” City Building Commissioner John Stephens said, noting that the city pays for the landfill costs. The $25,000 figure, City Attorney Doug Lehman added, was a figure given to all

those invited to submit quotes as the figure to use for landfill fees. “It could be more or less than $25,000,” Asbestos removal at the site, which cost an additional $8,800, Stephens said.

More than 200 riders have already registered for the Sixth Annual Dam to Dam bicycle ride. The ride will be on Sunday, Sept. 13. More than 80 percent of those already signed up are from outside of Wabash County, according to Christine Flohr, Executive Director of the Visit Wabash County and one of the members of the ride committee. Several riders also are from out-of-state, with some coming from Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan, as well as Indiana. The ride is designed to take riders over the

Salamonie and Mississinewa Dam and around the Stockdale Dam. Riders experience 16 points of historic interest throughout the county. All of the routes are designed to showcase Wabash County’s rural beauty during the changing of the season. Multiple route lengths are available: 15, 30, 50, 62 (Metric Century) and 100 (Century) miles. Flohr noted that because of flooding around the Mississinewa Reservoir, adjustments to the route may have to be made. However, that won’t be decided until the ride draws nearer. The ride is presented by Parkview Wabash Hospital.

Local Little League Challenger Division gears up for district game By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Little League Challenger Division will be traveling to Indianapolis on Saturday, Aug. 15, for its first district game since its founding earlier this year in April. The local team will face the Zionsville Challenger team in an hour-long match at the Central Region

Little League Center headquarters. The team’s first season went really well, according Joy Ruse, Challenger commissioner. The season would not have been possible without the help from the “buddies” - or assisting students from Southwood High School, Northfield High School and Wabash High School. Ruse said she would also like to thank

Ronnie Osborne, Wabash Street Department director Scott Richardson, Tim Langley of West Plaines Mining and Gaunt and Sons’ Sam Knight for their individual support as well as organizations that donated including Ford Meter Box, Richter Family Denistry, Bash Boutique and various others. Ruse said she encourages friends

and family to come support the athletes at their district game. “It’s a good thing to watch and it’s a lot of fun to watch the athletes play,” Ruse told The Paper of Wabash County in an interview. “I would like to invite everybody to come and watch because when you watch a Challenger baseball team, you feel very blessed to have all the things that you have.

Currently, the Wabash Challenger team is taking five athletes to the Indianapolis event, but is still able to take at most 12, Ruse said. The division game’s admission is free. The event will begin at 9 a.m. at the Reuben F. Glick Little League Center for Central Region Headquarters located at 9802 East Little League Drive in Indianapolis.

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “One of my passions in life is the sport of tennis. I teach, play, and compete in it. Moreover, I try to share with others how tennis relates to the life lessons it can teach us. At its best, tennis teaches us about discipline, mental toughness and strategy. Once learned, these lessons are more valuable off the court than on. Character, courage, commitment, h u m i l i t y , excellence…those are all things that you have to strive for in tennis and in life. Individual sports can teach you a lot in life, like how to stand up for yourself and find strength to do certain things. It’s a chess match out there, a mental game, not only in tennis, but in life too.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

Wabash school board suggests consolidation talks ... continued from the front page rearview mirror and fixing them upon the horizon,” Konyha said. “We have made significant progress but if we do not continue that progress will be lost and we will once again begin to fade.” Konyha noted that his term on the board was to expire in December. “At that time I lose my voice on this issue,” he said. “So, I have determined that I will do what I believe needs to be done for the good of

our children, our grandchildren and our community. “I am finished trying to work quietly behind the scenes and I will now be as vocal as I can be. Most people with whom I have spoken over the years favor unification of our schools.” Konyha also said he would invite officials from the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools to participate in the talks. “It is time for

Wabash City Schools, MSD of Wabash and M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools to become Wabash C o m m u n i t y Schools,” he said. Attempts to receive comment from Matt Driscoll, president of the MSD of Wabash County school board, and Steve Flack, president of the Manchester Community Schools board, were unsuccessful.

Public reaction mixed to talk of consolidation ... continued from the front page Wabash City and MSD was soundly defeated. “I was against it at that time because I was worried that they may close Northfield at that time and I was a sophomore and didn’t want to combine at that time before my senior year, even though there would be a slim chance for that to happen,” Smith wrote. “Now that we have a smaller population and less elementary schools, so now it would be easier to r the superintendent to get to all the schools. Also, I k now that MSD and Wabash City combine some of their services and it would be a money savings for one less superintendent over time. “Even though I’m for consolidating, the people should decide in an election instead of the two school boards.”

LaFontaine resident Jim Hogan is against the proposal. “I like small,” he said. “More kids get individualized attention and ‘everyone knows everyone,’” he said. “With the advent of computer learning the advantage of having more learning opportunities with consolidation is mute. It ends up being for financial considerations and has little to do with educating the children.” S t e p h a n i e Westendorf attended school in a suburb of Richmond, Va., with five high schools, eight middle schools and about 10 elementary schools. “I feel as though Wabash County can handle all the schools in one school system if other places around the country can,” she wrote. “I understand some jobs at the administration level

may be downsized or reorganized, which may or may not give opportunities for more teachers to be hired and smaller class sizes.” However, Julie Sluss attended Huntington North for her freshman year before moving to Northfield before the rest of her high school career. She said she did poorly her freshman year at Huntington, but her p e r fo r m a n c e improved while at Northfield. “Big schools do not benefit anyone,” she wrote. “Students get lost in the shuffle. Teachers are overwhelmed. They don’t get to know their students because there are too many. “When I attended Huntington, I saw multiple fights every day, and there was a big drug problem. There were too many kids for the teachers and administration to monitor.”

Indiana farmers committed to soil and water conservation One million acres of living cover crops reported From the USDA News Bureau

INDIANAPOLIS — The results are in from the first-ever statewide fall tillage transect completed late last year as part of a collaborative effort between the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), USDA’s Natural R e s o u r c e s Conservation Service (NRCS), Indiana’s 92 Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) and other members of the Indiana Conservation Partnership (ICP). The report shows significant increases in the adoption of conservation practices on farm fields by Hoosier farmers. The tillage transect is a cropland survey conducted in each county by ICP personnel and Earth Team volunteers. Using a predetermined route, staff look at farm fields in their county collecting data on tillage methods, plant cover, residue, etc. in order to tell the story of conservation efforts in Indiana. The survey uses GPS technology and provides a statistically reliable method for estimating farm management and related annual trends. Transects are usually conducted bi-annually in the spring before crops are planted. The fall transect estimated one million acres of living plant cover such as cover crops and winter cereal grains were planted on Indiana farms last year. These important plants protect soil from rain, snow and extreme cold, and retain valuable nutrients in fields benefitting water quality, and feeding diverse populations of soil biology. Residues protected from environmental elements play a key role in building soil organic matter and soil health. The report also shows most Indiana farmers left their tillage equipment in the shed this past fall to protect their fields with harvested crop residues. Results for residues and soil undisturbed on har-

vested acres during the winter months include: — 77 percent of corn acres — 79 percent of small grain acres — 82 percent of soybean acres ISDA, NRCS, SWCDs and the other members of the ICP are actively promoting a total conservation cropping systems approach to farming which focuses on soil health and function. Soil health practices include no-till (nevertill), using diverse cover crops, adaptive nutrient management, integrated weed and pest management, diverse crop rotations, precision farming technology

and prescriptive buffers. “We believe the notill acres represented in the fall transect data are at a much higher and sustain-

able quality because farmers are using multiple conservation practices implemented as part of a system on their fields,” said (continued on page 18)

Indiana farmers committed to soil and water conservation ... continued from page 17 Jane Hardisty, NRCS State Conservationist. “The results of the transect show Indiana is a top leader in the nation in acres of cover crops planted which is important during weather extremes like those we have experienced this year.” “We know that farmers seek to retain soil and nutrients on the land, which promotes improved soil health and water quality. Therefore, tracking trends in conservation tillage, energy consumption and cropping systems is an important and valuable activity,” said Ted McKinney, Director of ISDA. “Transects give conservation partners the opportunity to

observe the current land use conditions and discuss the resource needs and accomplishments related to the soil and water resources in each county. Such efforts are particularly rewarding when the results show that Indiana is among the leaders in soil conservation and water quality.” The ICP is also currently wrapping up the bi-annual spring transect, which determines whether covers were unharvested or harvested small grains such as wheat. Estimates of spring tillage and verification of the cover crops planted last fall will be analyzed soon.

The additional space will provide room for new section of cafeteria, trainer’s room, restrooms and a concession area. “That opens up our lunches so that we can double up the number of kids and that provides some flexibility in scheduling,” Callahan said. The remodeling also included adding new seats to the auditorium. Callahan credited Jen Rankin, executive director of Wabash County Solid Waste Management,

Amber Bretzman, a fifth grade teacher at Sharp Creek Elementary School, explains scheduling to her new students on the first day of school on Friday, Aug. 7. Students decorated nametags and filled out worksheets as well.

start off slow and begin offering (soccer) to the middle school and if people respond with a good turn out then during 2016-17 we’ll offer it at the high school,” Callahan said. Maconaquah High School and Peru High School will be joining Wabash County’s sports conference this year as well. Finally, Wabash City Schools will begin offering a full week off for fall break, which begins Oct. 19.

Wabash City Schools has undergone multiple changes in preparation for the upcoming school year, according to superintendent Jason Callahan. First, after applying for accreditation in early May, the University of Indianapolis has endorsed Wabash High School as an Early College High School by. “What they’re trying to do with the Early College High School model is create the rigor and supports to ensure that all kids have the opportunity to be successful in college,” Callahan said. “We see college as anything leading to a living wage, so it’s not just a four-year degree pathway. It can be trade schools, two-year degree, certifications and apprenticeships. “It’s pretty inclusive definition of ‘college’ so that we can ensure that we’re covering all our kids and not just a segment of our population.” The local high school will now offer programs through Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana University Kokomo, V i n c e n n e s University and Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne. The V i n c e n n e s University programs will begin officially in the 2016-2017 school year, Callahan said, but students will still be able to earn dual credits this year. Several years ago, the corporation began offering high school course work to their middle school students if they were ready, he continued. “What we found was that significant number of middle school kids are ready for that rigor and are really motivated to do the work,” Callahan said. “I think too often kids are bored, that we’re not challenging them enough. So our counselors work very hard to make it very relevant so that kids understand that this is connected to a future career or this

is connected to their future, their dreams.” The Wabash City School Corporation feels that for too long it has marginalized students, Callahan continued. “We would say, again, we would approach students all in the same capacity and say, ‘Ideally, we want all of you to go on a four-year degree pathway,’” he said. “So we tried and we push kids, push kids, push kids. Well some kids don’t have an interest in a liberal arts education. Some kids don’t have any desire to go onto a four-year degree pathway and they shouldn’t be marginalized for that. “They should be given opportunities to say, ‘You know what? There are a lot

21 attend Genealogical Society meeting Article provided The Wabash County Genealogical Society met July 20, 2015, at the Dallas Winchester Center with Melanie Penn opening the meeting and welcoming 21 members and two guests. Melanie stated that $15 dues are now payable for the year. The Secretary and Treasurer reports were read and approved. Barb said she still has copies of the 1894 Wabash County Directories available for purchase at $15 each. Since the 1890 census

was damaged in fire, this would be a good replacement record. Melanie has a handout from a blog called “Five Free Genealogy Things You Can Do on Ancestry.com”. She also shared that you can get into Wabash Archives of newspapers by entering your Wabash Carnegie Library card number – you can spend hours looking at old newspaper articles. Melanie asked LuAnn Vandegrift to model her shirt from the Indiana Genealogical Society – “I Used to Have a Life and then I Started Doing Genealogy.” Ron Woodward distributed postcards for his new book – “Hidden History of

Wabash County Indiana.” An especially interesting character was Bob Printy who ran off to join the circus, became a Strong Man, and was a judo instructor in World War II. He later returned to Lagro where he died in 1983. Residents can pre-order the book by going to the Walmart site and save about $10. Hope Rider announced they had a successful Band Wagon Rally at Paradise Spring. Twelve large Band Wagons from as far as Canada, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois and many small organ grinders were on display to delight the crowd. Doug Bowman shared information

about the Vietnam Wall and the amazing site at http://www.virtualwall.org/iStates.htm A person can search by state, then city to find detailed information about anyone who died in the Vietnam War. The speaker for the evening was Doris Sutton from Marion, the Indiana State Chaplin of DAR. She started doing research in the early 1980s, before the Internet was available. She read a lot of books and made notes; she talked to her parents to hear their stories and visited county courthouses, libraries, cemeteries, and examined old census records and property deeds.

Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land said some friends of his as the Brownsburg d e p a r t m e n t approached him about taking on one of their police dogs. “Nothing had really been planned at the department until this came up,” Land said, but he knew adding a second K-9 unit to his department would be a good tool to assist his officers. “It just gives us an extra tool,” he said. “I’ll use any tools that we can use on the road.” The Brownsburg Police Department ended up giving The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department Cato, a 7-year-old German Shepherd with five years of experience in patrol duties. Land said he chose Cox, a 2-year

veteran of the department, to partner up with Cato after he had shown interest in joining the K-9 unit. Cox said he’s always enjoyed watching police dogs work and wanted to be a part of that. Before the partners could begin their patrol duties, however, Cox and Cato had to undergo some training together. The two took part in a 16-week course on patrol techniques at the Allen County K-9 Academy before they began work. Cox said the course worked to prepare them to become certified through the International Police Work Dog Association. They trained in areas where patrol dogs like Cato are most useful such as narcotics detection, tracking and pursuit, he said. “With their nose, they’re just able to go so much further than our capabilities as humans,” Cox said. “They’re just a great asset overall, being able to detect what we as officers are not able to detect.” He said adding a second K-9 unit to the sheriff ’s department allows them to be better equipped to more efficiently police the area. Cox and Cato are

Photo provided currently on general patrol duty, working as calls come in, but Land said the Wabash Sheriff Department has lent the assistance of its K-9 units to surrounding counties as well as the state police. The past couple of weeks working with Cato have added a new level of responsibility to Cox’s work, he said. Now he has to stay aware of the police dog’s needs, he said, but “it’s always

nice having a partner right there to assist at a moment’s notice.” “It’s been a great overall experience,” Cox said. “I’m really enjoying being with him and working with him.”

‘I do it for you’ Local cancer survivor, patient walks Relay for Life with purpose

Vicki Bradley, a 66-year-old resident from Lagro, is a Relay for Life participant and survivor after beating breast cancer more than two decades ago. Bradley was diagnosed with tumorous cancer again three years ago, but has not lost hope. She told The Paper of Wabash County she will keep fighting and will never give up.

Lagro resident Vicki Bradley, 66, is a survivor. More than 20 years ago, she survived a diagnosis of stage four breast cancer despite having only a 25 percent survival rate. Today, Bradley is continuing her fight against tumorous cancer, only this time it’s terminal. “I keep fighting. I don’t give up,” Bradley told The Paper of Wabash County. “You just keep going on. You don’t give up. Some do give up, but I’m not that kind of person. I’m not ready to die yet.” Although she is fighting for her life, she is also fighting for the lives of others affected by cancer and even those who have not been, she said. “When (survivors) walk, we walk to show you that we beat this to some extent,” Bradley said. “We’re still here. We walk to let you know that we’re not giving up the fight. “And I do it for you so that one day you don’t have to handle this,” she continued. “I’m walking for all of you who don’t have cancer and I’m hoping that you never get cancer. That’s why I walk. I walk so that someday, that cure will be there so that if you get diagnosed that they can cure you and you won’t ever have to go through this. “That’s why I walk. That’s why all of us walk.” Bradley is a Relay for Life participant and advocate for the

American Society.

Cancer

Bradley’s fight with cancer “Twenty-nine years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.” Bradley was living in Texas at the time when she discovered a lump in her left breast after attending a regular mammogram. “(The doctors) didn’t find it the first time around,” she said. “I found it when I was in the shower, I found a lump in my left breast so I went back into the doctor and by the time I got back in there it was stage four.” Even with chemotherapy, radiation treatment and removing her breast and 26 lymph nodes on the left side of her body, Bradley’s doctors gave her a 25 percent survival rate. After six months of chemo, the cancer metastasized – or spread – into her left hip, right knee and spine. While her hip and knee were

replaced, she could only receive radiation treatment for her spine. “I was in a wheelchair for about a year and I had to learn to walk again, which I did and went back working,” Bradley said. “I survived it, which my doctors were thoroughly surprised at.” However, her fight with cancer did not end there. “Then a little over three years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer only this time it’s terminal,” Bradley said. “There’s nothing they can do about it.” The doctors discovered six tumors across her body, the “main one” located in her left lung, she said. When her left breast and cancerous lymph nodes were removed over two decades ago, one was missed and so it came back with vengeance, she continued. “Now see when I was diagnosed with this lung cancer, they gave me 14 months and I’ve been here three years now,” Bradley said. At this point, chemotherapy treatment is the only thing keeping the tumors at bay, she said. On Aug. 4, Bradley had to stop taking chemo because her body “can’t take any more.” “It’s pulling my bone marrow down so low that my bones are so brittle,” she said. “They’ll take me off of all treatment for hopefully six months to let my body rejuvenate and get my bone marrow back up.” However, this is not

the end of the line for the Lagro local. “Evidently, there’s this new trial for chemo for Small Cell Lung Cancer, which I have, and it’s a new trial treat that Indiana has just been authorized to use,” Bradley said. “My doctor’s thinking of putting me in those trials because I have nothing to lose and they have, evidently, a lot of success with it at putting you in remission.” While Bradley is hopeful, she said that she knows there is no cure, yet. “I keep fighting and I won’t give up,” Bradley said. “And I try to make sure that other people that get a diagnosis like this, I want them to know that there is still life.” She still has good times, she continued. Bradley is active in her church, Richvalley United Methodist Church, and can still do minor chores around town and her house. “I’m not going to say that I never get depressed because I do. That would be lying and I’m not going to lie,” she said. “I do get depressed, but I have very strong faith and I know God’s the one who has put me here and let go. He’s not ready for me yet to go. There’s a reason that he has me here and keeps me going.” One of those reasons, Bradley said, is to help others through their cancer, to help them understand what it’s like to go through it, and even by participating in the Relay for Life.

Relay for Life. “I’ve been walking with the Relay for Life ever since I’ve come up here,” Bradley said. “Every year I walk. But this might be my last year. I have such a hard time trying to walk now. I walk with a walker, but even with that it’s so hard to walk and breathe at the same time.” Since her first diagnosis, the American Cancer Society has assisted Bradley with many of her needs, including helping her purchase a wig and setting her up with the support group, Cancer Buddies. The American Cancer Society also

has a 24-hour call service that allows cancer patients, friends and families to contact if a counselor is needed or an individual would like to speak to a specialist regarding a specific cancer, Bradley continued. “They have all kinds of people who will talk to you and get you through different things,” she said. “They were the ones who helped me get my prosthesis and when I moved up here.” A d d i t i o n a l l y, patients can also call the organization if they need transportation to a doctor’s appointment that’s in

another city or state and can also call to hear about any new trial treatments regarding their specific cancer, continued said. There is always hope even if it’s terminal, Bradley said. “I try to make sure that people see me when I go to the Relay and I work for the Relay for Life because people need to understand that there are still some life or still good year and months left, even if they get the death sentence,” she said. “Because I know so many people that have been given that kind of a diagnosis and they just go home and they sit

Reich named Timbercrest’s Associate Administrator By The Paper staff NORTH MANCHESTER – Heather Reich is the new A s s o c i a t e Administrator at Timbercrest Senior Living Community. She was selected following the retirement of her predecessor, Ted Neidlinger, who served at Timbercrest for nearly 20 years. Reich holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Ball State University with a major in health sciences and minors in public health and sociology. She went on to receive a Master

of Science degree majoring in gerontology and wellness management and completing a minor in business. She has extensive experience in the health care industry including the role of A s s o c i a t e Administrator at University Heights Health and Living Community in Indianapolis as well as serving in several positions at Westminster at Lake Ridge, a continuing care retirement community in northern Virginia. “I am honored to part of the

Officials from the Wabash Police Department and Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department announce that starting Aug. 21 through Sept. 7, the departments will be participating in the nationwide crackdown on drunk driving. The departments will be supplementing their regular patrols with extra manpower in a comprehensive effort to curb drunk driving in August through the Labor Day holiday weekend. “Every year about one third of all motor

vehicle traffic deaths involved one or more drunk drivers or motorcycle operators,” said Cpl. Chad Galligan. As a reminder it is illegal to get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol and the limit in Indiana is .08. Driving drunk is simply not worth the risk and can bring a wide range of negative consequences into one’s life, Galligan said. “Deputies will be aggressively looking for drunk drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving drunk,” Sheriff

because they don’t get much federal funding and research is very expensive for cancer,” she said. “If you don’t support them, then they can’t go along with the research to get a cure for this.” The Final Lap, but not the End of the Line Due to chemotherapy’s toll on her body, Bradley said that this might possibly be the last year she walks in Relay for Life. “I don’t walk well because chemo destroys a lot of

things I have,” Bradley said. “My feet are swollen so bad that it’s really hard to walk because I have neuropathy in my feet. Chemo kills the nerves in my feet. “So I have no feeling in my feel so when I walk I don’t feel the ground, so I have to be careful when I walk because I don’t know when my foot’s hitting the ground, but it’s stuff you have to learn to live with.” However, she said she will continue to support the Relay for Life because there’s

Manchester U ranked by Princeton Review From the Manchester University News Bureau

NORTH MANCHESTER — As students, faculty and staff prepare for a new academic year, The Princeton Review – a leading guide for college-bound students – has once again included Manchester University in its “Best in the Midwest” listing.http://www.princ etonreview.com/bestregional-colleges.aspx

Manchester, a perennial on the list, annually ranks among the best in the nation and the Midwest for its rigorous academic programs and commitment to volunteer service. It has also been selected as a “best college” by U.S. News & World Report for 21 consecutive years. “Every college in our book has outstanding academics, said Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s

senior vice president and publisher. “While our purpose is not to crown one college academically ‘best’ overall or to rank the schools 1 to 380 on any single topic, our lists provide direct student feedback on the schools’ campus culture, program offerings and cost. Our goal is to help applicants choose and get into their dream college – the college best for them.” It picked 159 schools (continued on page 28)

How to save on school supplies Back to school season can be as expensive for parents as it is exciting for students. Once the initial letdown of the end of summer vacation wears off, many kids are excited to return to school, where they can see their friends, study their favorite subjects and participate in extracurricular activities. Parents of school-

....CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29

•Electrical Service & Repairs •Economically Priced •Handyman Service/Home Improvement

aged youngsters may share in that excitement while also knowing that back to school season can stretch their budgets. One of the ways to salvage those budgets is to save on school supplies. Fortunately, there are several ways parents can do just that. · Be patient. Shopping early can save shoppers money in many instances, but parents may benefit by exercising patience when it comes to buying school supplies for their children. Teachers often give students lists of supplies they will need for each class, and parents who wait to receive such lists can avoid spending money on items their kids won't need. Even if you wait it out, you may be able to get a head start, as some teachers may post supply lists on school websites, while others might email lists to parents before back to school season hits full swing. · Take inventory. If you have more than

one child, chances are you already have lots of school supplies around the house. Dust off kids' backpacks and study areas from last school year to determine which supplies you need to buy and which you already have. Going forward, encourage kids to store their supplies in a predetermined area once the school year ends, as this will make next year's inventory that much easier to examine and assess. · Spend more now to save later. While inexpensive supplies can be hard to resist, such items likely won't withstand the test of time, forcing you to spend time and money each year buying replacement supplies. Paying more now for certain items, including stronger backpacks and more highly rated calculators, may end up saving you money in the long run, even if the initial pill is somewhat tough to swallow. · Use technology

to your advantage. Department stores and businesses that sell school supplies, such as pharmacies and office stores, may or may not discount too many items once back to school season hits full swing. But savvy parents can still find deals by using technology to their advantage when shopping for school supplies. Download apps like RetailMeNot to your smartphone and enable its updates so your phone essentially notifies you of any discounts the moment you walk into a given store. If you don't receive any updates, search for discounts via the app or the Internet as you shop. Chances are strong that there are deals to be had, even if you don't learn of the deals until you arrive at the store. School supplies can be expensive, but parents can employ several strategies to save on school supplies now and in the future.

School is not always easy, and some students struggle as they transition from grade to grade. As students get older, some who may have experienced smooth sailing as youngsters may find they need some extra help grasping the material as coursework becomes more complicated. Those who need some extra clarification and reinforcement may first turn to their parents. But parents may not be familiar with certain subjects or capable of explaining certain concepts in terms kids can understand. In such situations, tutors can prove to be valuable resources to get kids back on the right academic track. One-on-one attention from a tutor can benefit all types of learners. Students who discover newfound success under the guidance of a tutor may have more

self-confidence in the classroom. Parents wondering if a tutor can help their children may want to consider the following indicators that students may need tutors. · Consistently falling grades: Tutors may be necessary for students whose grades are gradually on the decline. First speak with your child's teachers, who may recommend tutors that specialize in certain subjects. · Confusion in and out of the classroom: Some kids struggle to grasp certain concepts, and such confusion can sometimes be remedied with the kind of intense study available in tutoring sessions. · Low confidence: Some kids' confidence wanes when their grades suffer. Kids whose grades have been on the decline may feel a sense of defeat even before they take a

test or work on an assignment. Tutors can help restore confidence by creating small victories that slowly build up to larger successes. · Indifference to coursework: No student will be captivated by every subject he or she studies, but there should be some subjects that students find engaging. Students battling indifference toward their coursework may benefit from a dynamic tutor who can present subject matter in new ways and revive students' interest. Students who are struggling in the classroom may need some extra help outside the classroom, and many tutors are adept at reviving interest in subjects kids are studying at school. Some teachers may recommend certain tutors, while others may do some tutoring work themselves.

Back to school means elevated risk for lice

Millions of children will soon be heading back to the classroom. Although the return of school may elicit smiles from parents who have spent the entire summer trying to keep kids busy and out of trouble, when kids start bringing home notices of head lice outbreaks, those wide grins may fade. Although head lice can strike just about anyone anywhere, it seems to proliferate in close quarters, like those of a typical classroom. Children who keep backpacks and belongings beside other students' items may unwittingly pick up lice and bring them home, where they can infect the child and other members of the family. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says lice are parasitic insects that can be found on people's heads and bodies. Lice feed on human blood. There are three types of lice that live on humans: head louse, body louse and pubic "crab" louse. Only the body louse is known to spread disease. Lice are wingless parasites that can only crawl to their host for feeding. They cannot jump or fly like fleas. By and large, lice are relatively harmless creatures, though they can be a nuisance. Lice bites are known to cause irritation and inflammation on the scalp. Persistent scratching may lead to infection. Lice do not signal that a person has bad hygiene, and a child who contracts lice should not be embarrassed. Lice are a common problem among students. Lice are small and grayish-white in appearance, and they are usually no larger than a sesame seed. They can move fast, so usually lice infestation is identified by spotting the lice eggs, which are called nits. These look like tiny, (continued on page 32)

Lice lay nits on the hair shaft close to the

scalp. This is the ideal temperature for keeping the eggs warm until they hatch. Many lice nymphs will feed on blood every day to grow into adult lice. However, a louse can survive up to two days off of the scalp. That means a person can "catch" lice from a hat or a piece of clothing if a louse climbed into the material. Treating head lice means ridding the head of all nits and

adult lice. A special comb is used to capture the tiny eggs. This can be a painstaking process, particularly for children with long hair. Topical insecticides in lotion and shampoo are used to kill the lice. However, these products may not penetrate the nits, so the topical solution may need to be applied several days later to kill any emerging lice. The best way to combat lice is to

emphasize prevention. Children should not share combs, brushes, scarves, hats, or other clothing. They also should avoid close physical contact with someone who has lice. Should a child get lice, he or she should stay home from

school and the nurse should be notified. Wash all objects that the child has used and launder all clothes, towels, linens, and other items in hot water to kill any lice. Vacuum the home frequently to remove lice or fallen hairs with attached nits from

upholstered furniture and rugs. Back to school season reintroduces kids and their parents to lice. Parents and their kids can take certain preventive measures to greatly reduce youngsters' risks of coming down with lice.

Clever ways to circumvent college costs College tuition and fees are perpetually on the rise, so it's no great surprise that today's students are graduating with more college debt than ever before. Though some students might feel helpless with regard to avoiding student loan debt, there are some clever ways for youngsters to pay for college and stay out of debt. * Work with a service organization. Many universities are affiliated with nonprofit organizations, and students who work for affiliated organizations may be eligible for scholar-

ships provided by the organization and/or the university. Wages for workers who take advantage of such programs tend to be very low, but those students who serve full stints could earn scholarships worth several thousand dollars. Students can explore such opportunities by speaking with their universities to determine if the schools are affiliated with any service organizations. If not,

students with a desire to give back can find charities that reward their workers with college scholarships. * Sign up for studies. College students often lament their lack of spending money. That's especially true today, when many students put their earnings from summer jobs or internships toward their tuition. But opportunities for relatively easy money (continued on page 33)

Clever ways to circumvent college costs... continued from page 32 abound on college campuses, where researchers need subjects for studies. Signing up to be a subject for a study can be an easy and lucrative way to earn money that can be used to pay tuition or everyday expenses that often go overlooked when planning a budget. University job boards or department bulletin boards often advertise needs for study participants, so college kids strapped for cash should monitor such boards in an

effort to earn some extra income. * Start a business. Though college kids might not have the time to start building the next Fortune 500 company, starting a small business can be a great way for students to earn money and set their own schedules. A tutoring business that caters to local high school students or even fellow college kids can be a great way for college students to make practical use of their education. Just a few

hours of tutoring each week can be enough to help college students mitigate the costs of campus life, and if the business grows big enough, students might even be able to put a dent in their tuition fees. * Live at home. While living at home is an option available only to those students who attend in-state universities within spitting distance of Mom and Dad, it's an increasingly reasonable decision for students worried about

accruing excessive student loan debt. While room-andboard fees vary widely, U.S. News reported that the average charges for on-campus living during the 2013-14 school year were $9,689. Over the course of four years, students will spend nearly $40,000 just to live on campus, and many students will pay those costs via student loans. Students whose primary goal is to avoid substantial postgraduate debt may find that living at home, while not necessarily ideal, is the most effective way to do just that.

Homemade ice cream makes for the perfect summer treat Ice cream is synonymous with summer, when rising temperatures and vacations from school and work call for some refreshing celebration. Those who want to experiment with homemade ice cream may want to consider the following recipe for "Dulce de Leche Ice Cream" from Lou Seibert Pappas' "Ice Creams and Sorbets" (Chronicle Books). Dulce de Leche Ice Cream Makes about 1 quart 2 cups half-andhalf or milk 4 large egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 12 ounces butterscotch chips, divided 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Prepare a large bowl or pan of ice water. In the top of a double boiler, heat the halfand-half over simmering water until steaming. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until

blended, then whisk in the sugar. Whisk in about half of the hot half-and-half and pour the yolk mixture into the pan of half-andhalf. Stir with a silicone spatula or spoon and cook over simmering water for about 8 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the chips and continue stirring until blended in and the custard coats the back of the spatula, about 2 minutes more. Immediately place the custard pan in the ice bath and stir the custard occasionally until it cools to room temperature. Transfer to a container and stir in the cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add the remaining 1 cup chips and churn until blended in, about 15 seconds more. Transfer to a container, cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
