Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Parkview Wabash employees honored

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com On June 27, the old Parkview Wabash Hospital facility on East Street closed and the new one, on John Kissinger Drive, officially opened.

The move was years in the making. Ground was broken for the new facility on June 30, 2016, and from that time on, a countless number of meetings took place to make sure the move – though two years away – would come off without a hitch.

Those meetings – including one at 5 a.m. the day of the move – worked.

At 6 a.m. June 27 the first of 10 patients was moved from the old facility to the new. By 8:30 a.m., the last patient to be moved was having breakfast at the new site.

Because of their efforts, the entire Parkview Wabash Hospital staff was named Healthcare Heroes during the 2018 Parkview Wabash Foundation Gala on Saturday, Nov. 10.

“In a matter of less than three hours, the doors of one hospital closed and the other was running full speed ahead,” emcee Eric Seaman told those

gathered in the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall.

“Doesn’t is all sound so easy? Well, it wasn’t. The effort and talents of the co-workers made it look that way.”

Wabash Parkview President Marilyn CusterMitchell, who was in the thick of the planning throughout, praised the staff for its efforts throughout the last several years.

“The Parkview Wabash co-workers did a phenomenal job in planning and executing the move to the new facility. It went as smoothly as possible for our inpatients,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “We had 10 inpatients on June 27.

Partnering with Parkview EMS and Wabash City Fire EMS, we started the move at 6 a.m. and by 8:30 a.m. all patients were settled in their new rooms. It’s such a great honor for all our co-workers to be recognized for their hard work.”

Seaman reminded the audience that the effort is far from done.

“Since opening its doors, the hospital has seen a record number of patients. Increased volumes in the emergency room, lab and imaging,” he said.

Honoring veterans: A crowd of about 50 people braved a wind chill factor of 6 degrees on Saturday to honor veterans during the annual Wabash County Veteran’s Day ceremony at the Wabash County Courthouse.

Dazey, Driscoll are re-elected MCS referendum defeated

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The MSD of Wabash County school board will remain unchanged. The same, however, can’t be said for the Manchester Community Schools board.

Meanwhile, a referendum question about the MCS district that was on the ballot Tuesday, Nov. 6, was easily defeated.

MSD incumbents Matt Driscoll and Todd Dazey won their bids for re-election.

Driscoll received 2,300 votes to Tiffany Haupert’s 1,834 and Sandy Davis’ 486.

Dazey received 2,021 votes to Teresa Galley’s 1,354, Ryan Rosen’s 1,109 and Douglas Bogert’s 214.

“I would like to thank the voters of MSD for re-electing me to the school board,” Dazey wrote on his Facebook page. “Thank you to Tiffany Haupert, Teresa Galley, Ryan Rosen, Sandy Davis and Doug Bogert for running a campaign that stuck to the issues. Each of you brought good ideas to the table and you deserve the thanks of the entire board for your willingness to serve.

“Now is the time to put the division behind us and work to make the future better for our students as we work to make a great school district even stronger.”

Haupert, on her Facebook

page, thanked those who voted for her, and urged both sides to mend fences that have been damaged.

“I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who supported and encouraged me through the MSD School Board race,” she wrote. “I ran this campaign with honesty and integrity and I’m proud of my friends and family for working along side me during this campaign. The voters of MSDWC chose the incumbents to serve another four years.

“Please continue to support our teachers and students as we move into the difficult future our schools are going to face.

Mend broken friendships that this election caused by being kind to your neighbors. Put the word ‘unity’ back in community.

Finally, I encourage you to reach out to your school board members and share your thoughts and ideas about what you want for the students in our districts.

Galley, on her Facebook page, wrote, “I cannot show my appreciation enough for all of the people in Wabash County who supported me these last few months and who voted for me in the election. We ran a good campaign. We achieved my main goal which was to run a campaign that my kids could be proud of. (continued on page 5)

FSSI, with the partnership of exclusive sponsor, Indiana Michigan Power, has joined the #GivingTuesday efforts to encourage philanthropy locally and to include our locals gifts into the overall dollars raised globally on this day.

Every act of generosity counts and each means more when we give together.

“The beauty of this campaign is that anyone, anywhere can get

Over $300 million was raised online to benefit a tremendously broad range of organizations, and much more was given in volunteer hours, donations of food and clothing, and acts of kindness.

“We are incredibly inspired by the way the

WIC: Stop using educational plates

The plates have been distributed through Indiana WIC clinics since June.

The program was notified of the two incidents on Nov. 8 and immediately instructed WIC clinics in Indiana to halt distribution of the plates. WIC clients are being notified of the potential hazard.

“The safety of Indiana WIC clients is our top priority,” said Eldon Whetstone, assistant commissioner for the Health and Human Services Commission at the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH), which administers the Indiana WIC program. “We urge all clients to return these plates to their WIC clinic or destroy them immediately.”

The plates contain dividers that include labels showing the portion sizes for protein, grains, vegetables and fruits and are labeled as being safe for microwave use.

Approximately 8,600 plates were sent to more than three dozen Indiana WIC agencies.

Whetstone said not all plates are impacted but that the vendor has determined that the labels on the defective plates contained aluminum, which is not safe for use in microwaves.

Smart use of antibiotics leads to best care INDIANAPOLIS— Antibiotics save lives and are critical tools for treating a number of common and more serious bacterial infections, but improper use of these medications can lead to drug resistance that can be life-threatening.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calls resistance to antibiotics one of the most urgent threats to public health.

U.S. Antibiotics Awareness Week, which runs from Nov. 12 to 18, is an opportunity to learn about good antibiotic prescribing practices and use.

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them. Each year in the United States, at least 2 million people

become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die as a direct result, according to the CDC. Many more die of complications from antibiotic-resistant infections.

“Antibiotics are an essential part of combating a number of common infections, including pneumonia and sepsis,” said Indiana State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “It’s equally important to ensure that they are used properly so these drugs will continue to be effective.”

The CDC says at least 30 percent of the antibiotics in outpatient settings nationwide are prescribed unnecessarily. Improving the way healthcare professionals prescribe antibiotics, and the way patients use

antibiotics, will help keep Hoosiers healthy, prevent fight antibiotic resistance, and ensure that these lifesaving medications will be available for future generations.

The best ways to help prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance are to: Talk to your healthcare provider about measures to relieve symptoms without using antibiotics.

Take prescribed antibiotics exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

Never pressure your healthcare provider for an antibiotic prescription.

Never save antibiotics for the next time you’re sick.

Remember that antibiotics won’t make you feel better if you have a virus.

Stay healthy and keep others healthy by cleaning hands,

to alternative heating sources. During Winter Weather Preparedness Week, State Fire Marshal James Greeson reminds Hoosiers to take extra precautions if these alternative heating sources are used.

Appliances such as ovens should never be used for heating.

Doing so can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Do not close the fireplace damper too early while ashes are still hot. Closing the damper too early can force dangerous levels of carbon monoxide into the home.

Space heaters should be kept away from loose or flammable objects such as clothing, curtains, bedding and furniture.

covering coughs, staying home when you are sick and getting recommended vaccines.

This is the week to be antibiotics aware for year-round smart use and best care.

Thank you for all the support received in my election as your Sheriff. I have prepared for this position, and I appreciate the opportunity to serve you and our community.

The amount of support received was overwhelming and humbling.

I have lived and worked in our community all my life. I know a lot of you, and you know me. During the Campaign I got to know even more of you- knocking on doors, community parades, the fair, suppers, the Meet the Candidates.

Over the next 4 years I look forward to serving as your Sheriff.

Our community will continue to face challenges. Law enforcement is critical to maintaining the quality of our lives here in Wabash County.

Your Wabash County Sheriff’s Department will work hard to meet all challenges. Together we will work to see our county and its communities grow stronger and better.

Parkview Wabash employees honored “All beds filled on the inpatient unit on multiple occasions.

Cafeteria visits that have far exceeded expectations.

“And babies being born in Wabash County once again – 15 and counting so far,” he continued, receiving a round of applause for that news. “Through it all, the co-workers continue to shine.

They are the backbone of the hospital.

They are the familiar faces, the sympathetic ears and the skilled hands that care for the patients, families, visitors, and even one another.”

Proceeds from the Gala will help fund the Parkview Wabash Hospital Education Fund.

The fund is used to assist staff who choose to go above and beyond to provide better care for patients. It also helps to ensure the community is treated by healthcare professionals who have the most knowledge and the greatest expertise.

money sitting around.”

Wabash County received $1 million in Community Crossing Initiative funds. Attempts to contact the county to get a feel for what they will use the funds for were unsuccessful.

Now in its third year, Community Crossings has awarded nearly $400 million in state matching funds to local governments for construction projects. In 2018, 444 communities applied for funds, making this year’s call for proj-

ects highly competitive.

“Community Crossings helps cities, towns, and counties take care of what they have and plan for the future,” said INDOT Commissioner Joe McGuiness. “Three years into the program, the state has partnered with local governments to improve thousands of road miles and dozens of bridges.

The impact has been significant and felt across 92 counties, and I’m excited for that impact to continue with this

round of projects.”

Beginning in 2019, INDOT will make it more convenient for local communities to pursue Community Crossing grants by offering two calls for projects per year.

Moving forward, INDOT will accept project applications in January and July each year, with a given community being eligible to apply for up to $1 million once per year during the call of their choice.

Dazey, Driscoll are re-elected “For those who voted for change, remember you have choices in Indiana. I didn’t win tonight but I made my voice heard and, for that, I am proud.”

In Manchester Community Schools District, David Terflinger defeated incumbent Sally Krouse, 1,802-1,327 for the Chester Township seat on the board.

“I know Sally was on for 20 years and you know, that’s pretty remarkable, that’s an awful lot of community service,” Terflinger told the North Manchester News-Journal, adding that he wants to thank Krouse for her service and is excited to get started.

“A re-election is a new election, so, that’s what it is,” Krouse said. “ M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools is wonderful and everyone should stay involved and behind it and the new board will be outstanding I’m sure,” Meanwhile, the Town of North Manchester board seats went to Benjamin Vanderpool and Richard Espeset.

Vanderpool topped the five-person field

with 1,268 votes.

Espeset was second with 1,210 votes, edging Michael Dixon by just three votes for the seat.

Amanda Shambarger received 1,146 seats and Kevin Kling was fifth with 901 votes.

Dixon told the North Manchester News-Journal that he is considering asking for a recount. He has until Nov. 20 to do so.

“In my mind, if it had been only 70 votes, I wouldn’t pursue or even think about pursuing a recount,” Dixon said. “But there were only three votes that separated us. I’m simply weighing my options right now.”

The hotly contested referendum question, which among other things sought to build a new fieldhouse at the Manchester High School site, was soundly defeated, 2,791 (or 80.43 percent) to 679 (or 19.57 percent).

Jim Smith, co-chair of the Friends of Manchester Schools PAC, said he was disappointed at the outcome, and also was surprised at the vote count.

Interim MCS Superintendent Mike Pettibone also said he would have liked to

have seen the referendum pass, but perhaps the project idea blossomed “a little too quickly” for voters.

In other locally contested races, Republican incumbent Barbara Pearson defeated Democrat Jane Long, 2,083-697, for the Wabash County Council’s second district seat.

In Lagro Township, Republican Eric Terrell topped a threeperson field. Terrell received 825 votes, easily outdistancing Democrat Nancy Whitmer (179) and Beverly Burns (165) to win the post.

As for the Lagro Township board, Deb Schenkel, Gary Hunter and Rob Cole, all Republicans, won election over Democrat Lloyd Bently.

Schenkel received 741 votes, while Hunter had 674, Cole had 571 and Bentley had 215.

In Liberty T o w n s h i p , Republicans Diana Heath, Greg Baldwin and Ronald Huston won over Democrat Donald Rose for the township board.

Heath had 571 votes, while Baldwin had 551, Huston had 464 and Rose had 173.

In Noble Township,

Steven Kirtlan, Brenda Hegel and William Plummer won seats on the township board, defeating Democrat Andrew Osborne.

Kirtlan had 2,683 votes, to Hegel’s 2,500 votes, Plummer’s 2,080 votes and Osborne’s 1,064 votes.

Republicans David Hawkins, William Parker and Stan Bagley won seats on the Pleasant Township board, defeating Democrat Glendon Morgan.

Hawkins received 565 votes, while Parker had 515, Bagley had 510 and Morgan had 247.

Running uncontested for county-wide seats were Prosecutor William Hartley Jr., Circuit Court Clerk Lori Draper, Recorder Eric Rish, Sheriff Ryan Baker, Assessor Kelly Schenkel, District 2 Commissioner Jeff Dawes, District 1 Councilman Matthew Mize, District 3 Councilman Matt Dillon and District 4 Councilman Kyle Bowman. All are Republicans.

On the state level, Republican incumbent David Wolkins defeated Democrat Dee Moore, 8,234-

tainable agriculture in China.

She focused on the diminishing honeybee population in China and how it effects the agricultural industry. She also presented solutions on how to fix this problem.

Upon completing her presentation, she was selected as one of the top ten presenters in Indiana. This honor allowed her to travel to Iowa for the World Food Prize Global Youth Institute.

The World Food Prize was founded by Dr. Norman Borlaug, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who saved over a billion people from famine and starvation.

The

World Food Prize celebrates individuals who significantly improve global food security. She attended the Youth portion of the Institute on Oct. 17- 20. As a presenter, she was able to present her paper to a panel of college professors from around the nation.

She was also able to meet and speak with foreign leaders such as the Vice President of Peru and the Chair of the Board of the Sasakawa Africa F o u n d a t i o n , Honorable Professor Ruth Onlang’o.

During various sessions, Eilee was able to discuss her research with former World Food Prize Laureates such

as Dr. Philip Nelson, 2007 and Dr. Gebisa Ejeta, 2009 laureate.

The experience included tours of various agricultural industries such as Kemin, a global nutritional ingredient company as well as the Corteva / Pioneer seed headquarters.

Since attending the World Food Prize, she is now a Borlaug Scholar and is eligible to apply for a Borlaug internship.

Winners of the internships will be stationed around the world for further research with a practicing scientist or at an established research station.

Oak Ridge Boys to continue holiday tradition Quartet to return to Honeywell on Nov. 24

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Families through-

out the area can begin a new holiday tradition on Saturday, Nov. 24.

“The Oak Ridge Boys: Shine the Light

on Christmas” holiday tour will take to the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater stage at 7:30 p.m.

“Believe it or not, this year will be our 29th annual Christmas tour,” Richard Sterban, bass singer for the quartet, told The Paper of Wabash during a recent telephone interview. “We do a Christmas tour every year and it really has over the course of the years become the biggest part of our year. If we could stretch the Christmas season into like a three-month season, we could probably fill almost every day.

“Over the years the Christmas show has become very much in demand, and it’s the most successful part of our year. I think over the course of the years we’ve become known for our Christmas music. I think we have seven Christmas albums out now. Joe Bonsall (the group’s tenor) jokingly says we have more Christmas music out now than Andy Williams and probably Kenny Rogers does, combined.”

ly toured with Rogers as part of his annual Christmas tour.

“For a couple years, we went around the country with Kenny Rogers singing Christmas songs,” Sterban said. “One day we got in the bus and we were talking among ourselves … one night after singing Christmas songs with Kenny, we said, ‘We could do this, too.” That was 29 years ago and, like I said, it’s become an annual event.”

The Nov. 24 concert will be the group’s eighth appearance at the Honeywell Center.

“We’ve been to Wabash, period, several times,” Sterban joked. “We’re looking forward to coming back.

“A lot of places that we go to, it’s become like a tradition.

People and their families come out and spend a part of their Christmas season with the Oak Ridge Boys. It’s become a very special thing for us.”

Just because it’s billed as a Christmas show, that doesn’t mean the Oak Ridge Boys’ favorite hits will not be performed.

“The Christmas show is kind of like two shows,” Sterban said. “It’s a real bargain. It’s like two shows for the price of one in a number of ways. We come out in the very beginning and for about 45 minutes or so we do our regular music. When I say our regular music, it’s going to include a lot of our hits, including “Elvira,” of course.

Quite often when people find out we’re bringing our Christmas show to town, quite often the next question is, ‘Even though it’s a

Christmas show will we still hear ‘Elvira’’?

The answer to that is yes, you will. You will definitely hear me doing ‘giddy up a oom papa oom papa mow mow.’”

After about 45 minutes — which include other hits such as “Thank God for Kids” and “Y’all Come Back Saloon,” as well as some numbers from their new album, “Seventeenth Avenue Revival” — the group will take a brief break and return with the Christmas show.

“In that Christmas show we try to find a nice balance, a nice mixture of traditional familiar Christmas music that takes people back to their childhood, and then we like to do some new songs written by some of today’s contemporary writers that kind of tells the Christmas story in just a more contemporary way,” Sterban said. “In that Christmas segment we cover just about every aspect of Christmas. We sing about the romantic side of Christmas.

The fun side of Christmas. The secular side of Christmas.

Santa Claus. We have a great Santa Claus.

“Santa comes out and makes an appearance. We have a lot of fun with Santa Claus on stage. Santa actually goes out into the audience and interacts with the kids and the crowd. It’s really a fun part of the show.

It’s kid friendly, it really is.”

The Christmas show also includes a segment Sterban affectionately refers to as the rocking chair segment.

“In recent years it’s become a very popular part of the show and a part of the show that people request

now,” he said. “The four Oak Ridge Boys sit in Cracker Barrel rocking chairs, and I mention Cracker Barrel because, yes, they did provide the rocking chairs for us.

We sit in Cracker Barrel rocking chairs in front of a fire place and each man takes a turn talking about childhood Christmas memories and what Christmas means to us individually. We sing interspersed between these little talks. We sing traditional Chrismas carols. It’s a very down home part of the show.

“People love it. It gives the audience a chance to get to know each, individual Oak Ridge Boy just a little bit better. It shows by example the fact that we love singing Christmas music and, in the case of most of us, it goes back to our childhood days.”

Sterban is now in his 46th year with the Oak Ridge Boys.

Bonsell has been with the group for 45 years, while William Lee Golden and Duane Allen have been with the group for more than 50 years.

During his career, Sterban has performed with the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, J.D. Souther and more.

“There is no question about it,” Sterban said about the group’s career. “All four of the Oak Ridge Boys can tell you the same thing, we have been very blessed.

“When I look back on my life, the years I spent singing with Elvis, getting to know Johnny Cash, getting to sing for six presidents of the United States, spending the night in the White House. There are so (continued on page 11)

Veterans honored at Quilt of Honor Luncheon

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Six years ago, the Quilt of Honor Quilters hosted a gentleman’s luncheon near Veterans Day. Chairman Lois Van Meter thought to herself “you know, we really ought to be honoring veterans.”

The following year, Van Meter talked to her quilters about what they could do to brighten the lives of the veterans in the community, veterans who gave so much.

So, the Veterans Luncheon was born.

“We decided to use our talent, make quilts and invite veterans,” Van Meter said. “That was six years ago. Up to this point, we have given 192 quilts out. And after (Friday, Nov. 9), it will go up to 240 quilts to veterans of Wabash County.”

The Quilt of Honor Quilters passed out more than 100 meals and refreshments before the quilt cere-

mony. After dinner, Taps was played before the presentation of the flag. Each branch of the military’s song was then sung.

Friday’s event featured veterans from World War II and the Gulf Wars to everything in between.

“They all served and it all counts,” Van Meter said.

Then one by one, the veterans names were called. In most cases, they made their way to the front stage to receive their quilt, or placemat if they’d already been honored in the past.

“It’s a real, real privilege to be able to honor those who have served us,” Van Meter said. “It’s a real honor to have them come and give their time.

Vietnam veterans were not treated very well, and it gives us an opportunity to honor them for their service.”

The Quilt of Honor Quilters gave a special honor to the Vietnam veterans in

attendance. They try to pinpoint a different era at each luncheon.

Wabash County Veterans Service Officer Sam Daugherty was one of those veterans in attendance who were honored, serving tours in the Middle East.

“This is just a way to honor, in this case this year, the Vietnam Veterans,” Daugherty said. “They try to go through each era, and right now the Vietnam era was such a large era that they’re trying to go through all of those members of our community. ‘’It means that we’re paying some respect to those people who served. A lot of them were mostly men at the time that were pulled out of their life, whether they were going to college or getting married at 18 or 19 years old. They had to stop what they were doing and serve their country. A good number of them didn’t make it

many good things.

Singing the national anthem at World Series games; the list goes on and on. I would not want to change any of that. I have had a very special life and a very special career. All the Oak Ridge Boys would tell you a very, very similar thing.

“It all culminated about three years ago when we were inducted into the Country

Music Hall of Fame. If you sing country songs for a living, that is the ultimate, ending up in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

You look at the Country Music Hall of Fame and you see Elvis is there, you see Johnny Cash is there, George Jones, Dolly Parton, the list goes on and on. For the Oak Ridge Boys to be a part of that family is so special. Along

with all the great things that happened to us, that is probably the greatest. But, yes, sometimes I look back and I pinch myself and say has all this really happened. I remember years ago singing with Elvis. I had no idea I would end up being in the same Hall of Fame with him.

“It’s amazing how things happen in the course of your life.”

home.”

Many of them came home injured as well, Daugherty pointed out, some with injuries unseen like PTSD. “It’s a very wonderful thing they’re going for them for that reason,” Daugherty said.

Daugherty said veterans like the fact that events like Friday honor the sacrifices they made, especially when some of them weren’t treated with much respect when they originally came home.

“The Vietnam era especially, it’s one of the few times in history when we just weren’t really grateful when the veterans came home,” Daugherty said.

“That’s pretty well documented.

Some veterans talk about

“Now, our country is starting to understand what they went through. They were forced to go. They were forced to enlist.

They were forced to be commissioned.

And, they went off to serve their country.

Then they came home to pretty much an ungrateful nation across the board. Now, we’re starting to see a flip in that thought

process. We’re starting to see people saying ‘we understand what you went through. It wasn’t a choice, you had to serve your nation.’

We’re seeing more sense of pride in this era of veteran.”

But one thing that hasn’t changed is his desire to help the children in the community have a very, merry Christmas. Once again

this year, Brenton, with the help of his grandparents Dave and Brenda Jackson, will be collecting funds outside of Walmart for the local Shop With a Cop program.

In his first seven years, Brenton has collected more than $40,000 for the program. This year, he hopes to raise at least $10,000.

“I didn’t think it would go on like this when he started,” his grandmother said.

“That first year, when he started talking about $1,000, I was like, no, let’s go for $500.”

His first year, he raised $2,006.01. ““We thought, ‘OK, he did it. We’re done,’”

his grandmother continues. “Every year he’s ready to go back.

Every year I ask him are you sure you want to do this, and every year he gives me his look.”

There’s one thing that spurs Brenton to keep coming back every year.

“It’s the kids,” he says without hesitation. “The kids, I like to see them happy at Christmas time. No one wants a sad Christmas.”

Brenton has spent one weekend collecting so far this year, and is quickly on the way to meeting this year’s goal.

He will return to Walmart on Nov. 18, 2425, Dec. 1-2 and 8-9. In

addition to his time at Walmart, Brenton is also collecting cans and scrap metal which can be turned in for cash. Anyone with cans or scrap metal may bring them to Walmart on the days he is there, or they may call 260-571-5668 for pick up.

This year, Brenton’s doing something a little extra for those who donate.

“We are going to take pictures (with the donors) with their permission, of course,” he said. “Mostly with the kids who put money in the bucket. And people we know.”

Grandma adds, “A lot of people who stop are talking about how little he was when he

began.”

In the early years, Brenton donned a small policeman’s uniform to raise money.

That continued until a few years ago when, for his safety, local police officials asked him to not wear it without an officer being present. As not to take time away from the off-duty officers’ time with their family, Brenton opted to wear a vest with “Shop With a Cop” on it, as well as a photo of him in uniform.

“It is not a safe environment out there for me to wear that unless I have a police officer standing out there with me, so I will be wearing a vest,” he said. “But I’m the same old Brenton.”

“He’s just eight years older,” grandma adds.

Brenton realizes that the success he’s had isn’t due entirely to himself. He understands that many have helped him along the way, and he is very appreciative of that support.

“I want to say thank

you to all the police departments, the law enforcement officers, the community, my grandma, my grandpa and my Aunt Heather for supporting me through all these eight years.”

Mrs. Jackson said she and Brenton often discuss the program’s success.

“One thing we talk a lot about, Brenton and I, is that like I said we are so proud of what he’s doing and so proud of him in general, but it’s a community wide effort,” she said. “It’s all the people who contribute to him. It’s the people from Scotty’s who do the benefit ride. It’s the Eagles (which has an annual Shop With a Cop fundraiser).”

And Brenton quickly adds, “And a special thank you to the Elks for all the donations over the years.

They’ve been with me since day one.”

Some people are skeptical, Mrs. Jackson notes.

“Every year we get several people ‘What’s Brenton get out of

this?’” she said. “What he gets out of it is watching the other kids, knowing he’s helping them. It gives him a sense of accomplishment.

That’s what he enjoys, and we’re proud of him for that.

Brenton’s always been goal oriented. He sets these goals and he pushes to get them.

Not only with Shop With a Cop, but with a lot of things in his life.

That’s the one thing he gets out of it is he meets his goals.

“Another thing he gets is he gets to hang out with his police buddies.”

Youngsters involved with the Shop With a Cop program will go shopping at Walmart on Dec. 15.

“We really, really would love the community to come out and watch this happen,” Brenton said. “It’s a life changing event and I know the community would like to see it. It will put a big smile on their faces.”

The event was in Indianapolis during the National FFA convention. On day one, the team members completed an individual three hour, 300 question exam that focused on agriculture topics such as marketing, risk management, investment analysis, financial statements, and income taxes among other economic principles. On day two, the team members were able to work together to tackle complex farm management scenarios and recommend major management decisions for an actual Midwestern farm that volunteered to release their farm records and financials for the contest. The team was scored on combined test scores and the ability to work together as a team to solve complex problems. The team of Duff, Francis, Blake and Stiver earned a silver emblem award based on their successful efforts.

Indiana needs your service. presence in your communities,

and our network of bases, airfields, training facilities and armories across Indiana, also means we have a tremendous impact on the state’s economy.

We employ 13,550 Guardsmenone of the largest memberships in the nation-because Hoosiers are proud to serve. These jobs, plus the additional jobs we create, employ a total of 17,270 Hoosiers. But we can’t be complacent. Our combined state and federal missions mean we have a constant and growing need for patriots to join our ranks.

A recent economic impact study, available on our website at www.in.ng.mil/Portals/0/Fi nal-INNG-2017-ImpactStudy.pdf highlights, on our job creation statistics shows that the Indiana National Guard was responsible for over half a billion dollars of economic impact in Indiana. Every dollar we spend spurs an additional 76 cents in economic activity for other businesses in the state.

And because of the amount of federal funding we bring to Indiana, every dollar of state funding we receive translates into around $42 in economic activity. The report shows our activities created an estimated $27.5 million in state and local government revenues, an additional $46.1 million in federal tax revenue and $440 million in employee compensation.

Veterans will not be surprised that readiness remains our top priority. If the Indiana National Guard is to be prepared to meet our domestic mission while standing ready to deploy, fight and win across the entire spectrum of conflict as part of the U.S. Joint Force, we have to invest in our greatest asset: our people. This means continuing to emphasize our health, wellness and resiliency programs for current members and veterans. It means modernizing and expanding education and professional development in cyber and other high-skilled

City needs to think about several things Dear Editor: Things the city may want to investigate: There are many intersections where oncoming traffic cannot be seen. How many times have you almost had a wreck because you couldn’t see if any cars were coming? There are cars, bushes, signs and other items that block the sight of drivers trying to cross or turn into the flow of traffic. These intersections need to be corrected. Some people will object because they will

have to walk a little farther, but if it will save one life it will be worth it. The city vehicles, police, fire, street and others can in their travels mark and report these areas to management for evaluation.

The speed limits in Wabash should be reevaluated, some areas higher and some slower. There does not seem to be any continuity or reason to the speed limits. The police department is on the streets every day and it would a great help in helping

evaluate these areas.

When was the last time the speed limits were evaluated?

There is one area, on old 15 between Wabash and State Road 124, the county highway should check. The curves marked at 35 mph could be increased.

Coming north the last curve before the Matlock Cemetery is marked 35 mph, and at the cemetery the road narrows and the curves are tighter it is marked 40 mph.

Seems a little backwards.

Dear Editor: Most people are aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke, and that tobacco, which includes secondhand smoke, is the number 1 cause of preventable diseases and deaths in the United States.

It is so important that we protect every citizen in Wabash and Wabash County from the diseases and deaths caused from the secondhand smoke that comes from smoking. There are over 1,200 people that die a year in Indiana from the effects of secondhand smoke. These are people who never smoke.

We can change that!

Curbing smoking in all public places will improve the health and quality of life for those that visit, reside, shop, work, and frequent any public or private hospital-

ity business in Wabash.

Smoke-free communities broaden the welcome sign to businesses that are looking for a new home and families that are interested in healthy communities.

We need to let our mayor and city council know how important this is to our community.

This has nothing to do with a person’s right to smoke or government control. It has everything to do with public health and saving lives. People have the right to choose to smoke, but do not have the right to inflict the diseases caused from that smoke on others who choose not to smoke.

Let’s make Wabash healthier! — Dan Gray, Wabash County TobaccoFree Coalition executive director

ISP dedicates memorial mile

By The Paper staff PERU Indiana State Rep. Bill Friend, Indiana State Police personnel, and local emergency workers joined the family and friends of fallen Indiana State Trooper Robert Lather for a memorial mile sign dedication ceremony on Nov. 2 at the Indiana State Police Peru Post.

On U.S. 31, from mile marker 174 to mile marker 175, will forever be known as the Trooper Robert Lather Memorial Mile. The renaming of the road was due to the efforts of Indiana State Representative Bill Friend who authored, along with Representatives Michael Karickhoff and Karlee Macer, House Concurrent Resolution 44 urging the Indiana Department of Transportation to rename U.S. 31, from the 174 mile marker to

the 175 mile marker, the Trooper Robert Lather Memorial Mile.

The resolution was sponsored by State Senator Randy Head.

Representative Friend read the resolution at the ceremony honoring Trooper Lather’s ultimate sacrifice while serving the citizens of Indiana.

Trooper Lather’s former wife, Teresa, their two children, Rob and Breanne, along with other family members were in attendance.

They thanked the law enforcement community, Representative Friend, and the Indiana Department of Transportation for making sure Trooper Lather’s sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Lather, an Indianapolis native, died in the line of duty on July 6, 1982 when he responded to a call for assistance from a Howard County sheriff ’s deputy who was in pursuit of a vehicle

traveling in excess of 95 miles per hour.

While attempting to slow the fleeing vehicle, Trooper Lather pulled in front of the car and was killed when the speeding vehicle ran into his police car. It was later determined, the driver of the speeding vehicle was intoxicated.

Trooper Lather was the 29th Indiana state trooper to die in the line of duty. He was the second trooper, working from the Indiana State Police Peru Post, to die in the line of duty. He was preceded

by Sgt. Glen R. Hosier who died April 26, 1971, of a gunshot wound he received while leading officers up the stair case of a Miami County home. He was attempting to arrest a murder suspect.

Trooper Lather served with the Indiana State Police Department for almost eight years.

MU fashion show offers ‘New Beginnings’ From the MU News Bureau NORTH MANCHESTER – M a n c h e s t e r University’s commitment to celebrating diversity will be on full display at this year’s International Fashion Show, “New Beginnings,” at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 in Cordier Auditorium.

With the recent dedication of the new Jean Childs Young Intercultural Center, there is renewed excitement within the Office of Multicultural Affairs regarding the event.

Organizers say the “New Beginnings” title stemmed from not just the new Intercultural Center, but the new students participating, new cultures represented, and new concepts and ideas worked into the show.

Michael Dixon, chief diversity officer and director of Intercultural Services, explained that the show itself is a biennial event, and the approach taken and those involved in 2018 are much different than those in years past.

Student Director Delina Tewelde said many clubs across

campus will be represented in the show: the Asian Awareness Association, Black Student Union, Hispanos Unidos, United Sexualities and Genders, African Student Association and Manchester U n i v e r s i t y International Association.

Dixon emphasized the show’s ability to help audience members better understand other parts of the world.

“Fashion is an integral part of culture.

When you understand why people wear certain attire for certain events, why certain

colors and fabrics are important, then you understand more about a person’s culture,” he said.

Tewelde added that many of the show’s pieces will be worn in a less traditional fashion, because students wished to style much of the clothing more modernly.

Tewelde noted that for many students the fashion show is an opportunity to proudly display their heritage through dress, and for others it is a chance to see these fashions worn in an appropriate environment, “free of appropriation.”

Wabash man pleads to unemployment insurance fraud

By The Paper staff

W a b a s h resident Jimmy Starr, 38, pled guilty to unemployment insurance fraud in Wabash County Circuit Court on Oct. 22, 2018.

Through the use of agency records, an Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) employee began an investigation and

determined that Starr was working and receiving wages while claiming unemployment insurance benefits.

Starr received 1 1/2 years, with 1 year ordered to be under electronic home detention and six months suspended to probation. He had already paid DWD the restitution he had owed.

DWD receives wage

reports and new hire data from Hoosier employers documenting who is employed and receiving compensation.

The agency uses this information to ensure people are not collecting unemployment insurance benefits while working.

Since 2013, Indiana courts have ordered fraudsters to repay millions in restitution to the state’s

Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. “Combatting fraud preserves employer-paid monies in the trust fund for those individuals whom are truly in need of unemployment insurance benefits,” said Regina Ashley, DWD, Chief Unemployment Insurance and Workforce Solutions Officer.

2 Lady Apache VB players earn All-State recognition

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Two Wabash High School volleyball players were named to the Indiana High School Volleyball Coaches Association All-State Team.

Senior Tabby Wagner received Class 2A first team honors, while senior McKenzie Hayslett received Class 2A second team honors.

“These two girls are very deserving of the honor of being chosen All-State this year,” Lady Apache coach Katie Cromer said. “Tabby was certainly a go-to for us as she gave us a mismatch on the outside and she worked hard to develop a variety of shots from that position.

“Kenzie was a setter for us last year and transitioned into the libero spot early as she is very talented and athletic. She was third in 2A for total digs and first in 2A among seniors.”

Wagner led the Lady Apaches with 329 kills and 912 attack attempts. She also had 264 service points, including 64 aces.

She had 34 total blocks, 27 of them being solo blocks. Wagner also had 199 digs and six assists.

Hayslett had 17 kills and 202 attack attempts.

She also had 155 service points, including 42 aces.

She had 640 digs, as well as 19 assists.

The Lady Apaches ended the season 33-4, 9-0 in the Three Rivers Conference. Wabash won sectional and regionals before falling to North Judson-San Pierre in the semi-state.

“We had an exceptional season and that was largely due to the eight seniors we had on the

Northfield’s girls basketball team opened the season Tuesday night with a 67-36 blowout win over Western at home.

The Class A No. 3-ranked Lady Norse raced out to a 23-10 first quarter lead, and outscored the Panthers 22-6 in the final frame.

Ariel Dale led Northfield with 22 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals. Kyra Kennedy added 13 points and five steals. Addi Baker finished with 12 points and nine rebounds, and Kelcie Thomson contributed six points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals to the victory cause.

Manchester 44, Lewis Cass 21 The Lady Squires (2-0) took a 2615 lead into halftime, but put the game away with a 16-2 run through the third quarter.

“We had a great defensive stand tonight,” coach Jacob Everett said.

“The third quarter was the difference again. The girls are doing a great job responding out of halftime.”

Kennedy Fierstos led the victory charge with 11 points, five assists and four rebounds. Emma West added nine points, five steals, three assists and three rebounds.

Kennidy Lauer finished with eight points, five rebounds and two steals. And, Kiera Hatfield scored seven points to go along with five rebounds and two assists.

The Lady Squires hosted Warsaw on Nov. 7 before visiting Maconaquah Nov. 10.

Warsaw 52, Manchester 35 The Lady Squires dropped their first contest of the year on Oct. 7, falling behind in the second half to a Tigers squad that came in 0-1.

Warsaw led by three, 20-17, at the half, but took the second half 32-18 to take the victory.

Eva Bazzoni led Manchester (21) with 11 points and four rebounds. Emma West and Jirni Cripe both added eight points and two rebounds.

Kennedy Fierstos contributed three points, two assists and two rebounds. And, Kiera Hatfield added three points and four rebounds.

Huntington North 44, Southwood 21 The Lady Knights lead 9-8 at the end of the first quarter, but strug-

gled from the field to the tune of 2-for-31 shooting the rest of the way Saturday night.

MaKenna Pace led Southwood with even points, and Alissa Pershing added five points.

Sierra Stout finished with four points, six rebounds and three steals, and Erin Lehner added three points, two assists and five rebounds.

Mississinewa 45, Wabash 35 A tough first quarter saw Mississinewa jump out to an 11-2 lead, leaving the Lady Apaches playing catch up the rest of the way Friday night.

Alivia Short scored 15 points to lead Wabash and Hope Unger added 11 points. Kiley Stone pulled down four rebounds and Abby Vinopal handed out three assists to lead the Lady Apaches.

Marion 67, Wabash 30 The Lady Apaches fell to 1-2 on the season with the loss to the 3A No. 15-ranked Lady Giants Saturday night.

Marion raced out to a 20-3 lead by the end of the first quarter and never looked back.

Kiley Stone led Wabash with seven points, while Hope Unger and Alivia Short each scored six.

Manchester 49, Maconaquah 16 The Lady Squires won their conference opener and improved to 3-1 on the season with the win Saturday night.

And in the last 11 innings of the season, batting third in the World Series, Pearce hit a double, three home runs, knocked in seven runs and was named the World Series MVP. Though Cubs manager Joe Maddon is entering the final season of his contract, the organization will not explore an extension during the offseason to come.

That success has not come without suspicions of internal tension; though it’s always hard to know how much stock to put in that kind of talk. For his part, Theo Epstein has made clear that he’s not looking to make a change in the managerial role and has continued to praise Maddon. Still, it’s plenty notable that a new deal won’t come until late in the 2019 season (or thereafter), if at all.

Corn and soybean acreage prospects for 2019 From the U of I News Bureau URBANA, Ill. – As harvest wraps up, considerable speculation will occur over the next few months about the acreage decisions farmers will make in 2019.

Current market conditions support an acreage increase in corn and a reduction in soybeans in 2019, says University of Illinois agricultural economist Todd Hubbs.

Prospects for 2019 crop acreage levels begin with expectations about planted acreage for principal crops. In 2018, acreage planted in principal field crops expanded to 322 million acres, up 2.9 million acres from the previous year. Hubbs says a large share of increased acreage came from an expansion of spring wheat acreage by 2.18 million acres, cotton acreage by 1.4 million acres, and hay acreage by 1.28 million acres. Corn and soybean acreage decreased by 1.03 and .997 million acres respectively.

Illinois increased planted acreage by 188,000 acres like most

of the primary Corn Belt states. A significant exception came in South Dakota which lowered acreage by 343,000 acres, driven mostly by lower corn acreage. In conjunction with the increase in principal crop planted acreage, prevent plant acreage is small thus far in 2018.

The Farm Service Agency reports 1.88 million acres of prevented plantings as of Oct. 1, down from 2.59 and 3.4 million acres in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

“As we move into 2019, the prospects of large adjustments to crop acreage increasingly focus on soybean acreage,” Hubbs explains.

“Acreage adjustments in many major growing areas may be in the form of crop adjustments instead of acreage losses. The current price environment across principal crops points to constant or modest changes in total planted acreage in 2019 and holds the potential for fewer overall soybean and corn acres.”

Since the inception of the Renewable Fuel Standard and growth in Chinese soybean imports, a noticeable

shift in principal crop acreage created increases in corn and soybean acreage at the expense of wheat and small grains, Hubbs says. Corn and soybean acreage increased from 158.3 million acres in 2006 to 178.3 million in 2018, with a peak acreage of 180.3 million in 2017. Over the same period, wheat acreage declined from 57.3 million acres to 47.8 million projected in 2018. The low for wheat acres came in 2017 at 46.02 million acres. Similarly, small grain acres fell from 18 million acres to 14.88 million, with a low of 14.5 in 2017.

“These acreage adjustments stand out when analyzing the data from the three western Corn Belt states of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Kansas,” Hubbs explains. “In 2006, these states planted 20.54 million acres of corn and soybeans. Since that year, corn and soybean acreage grew by over 11 million acres with a peak year of 32.52 million acres in 2017.

In 2018, 31.15 million acres of corn and soybeans were planted in those states.

Conversely, wheat

acres contracted dramatically there continuing a long-run trend. In 2006, the three states planted 21.9 million acres of wheat.

Since that year, wheat acreage fell by over 4 million acres with a low year of 16.2 million acres in 2017. In 2018, 17.3 million wheat acres were planted in those states.”

Narrowing profitability margins appear to be shifting away from the expansion of corn and soybean acreage and back to wheat, small grains, and cotton in many areas. Current projections by industry analysts place 2019 corn acreage in a

range from 90 to 93.7 million acres.

Soybean acreage projections come in between 82.3 and 87.5 million acres.

“In essence, if the current margins continue, we may be at the beginning stages of unwinding the acreage shifts seen over the last decade,” Hubbs says. “In 2018, corn and soybean acreage in total reversed a three-year trend of increased planted acres. While soybean and corn acreage decreased in 2018, many crops saw planted-acreage increases. In particular, spring wheat, cotton, barley, rye, oats, and hay recorded

increases.”

In the main corn producing states during 2018, Missouri, Michigan, Nebraska, and Ohio increased corn acreage over 2017 planting decisions. None of those states increased corn acreage by more than 100,000 acres.

Decreases in soybean planted acreage came from North Dakota, Kansas, Arkansas, Minnesota, and Missouri.

“As we move into 2019, corn and soybean acreage shifts depend on the evolution of corn and soybean prices between now and planting,” Hubbs says, adding that expectations about

corn and soybean acreage will continue to evolve.

“Preliminary surveys of farmers’ planting intentions indicate an intention to decrease soybean acreage and increase corn acreage. Using current market prices, projections for corn and soybean acreage place 2019 corn acreage at 91.1 million acres and soybean acreage at 85.7 million acres. Data availability on acreage begins with the USDA’s Winter Wheat Seedings report in January to be followed by the March Prospective Plantings report,” he says.

idea was to bring this protein into the yeast used during ethanol fermentation, by engineering the yeast to produce the endolysin. By cloning the LysA2 (endolysin) gene and putting it into Sacharomyces cerevisiae (commonly known as “brewer’s yeast”), Sacharomyce s cerevisiae secreted the endolysin protein during an experimental fermentation trial.

When lactic bacteria contamination was introduced, the endolysins attacked the bacteria. “So we are using this natural system to prevent lactic bacteria contamination. We think this is a good solution to antibiotics usage,” Jin says.

A l t h o u g h endolysins have been added to ethanol fermentation before as a purified enzyme, much like adding antibiotics, Miller says their study is the first to report endolysins being made and secreted by the fermenting yeast.

The yeast-derived proteins were also successful in controlling bacterial contamination during fermentation in glucose (YPD60), a typical rich-growth medium used in lab experiments, and sucrosebased (sugarcane juice) ethanol fermentation.

URBANA, Ill. – In corn and sugarcane ethanol production, bacterial contamination during the fermentation process can result in a significant loss in yield and, consequently, revenue for producers.

A common culprit of contamination is bacterial members of the Lactobacillaceae f amily, also known as lactic acid bacteria.

These tend to thrive under ethanol fermentation.

Once these bacteria make their way into the ethanol fermentation mash, they begin eating the precious sugars and producing lactic acid, effectively putting a halt to the fermentation process.

And without fermentation, there’s no ethanol.

Although some methods of dealing with contamination — such as antibiotics — are already used in

the ethanol industry, researchers at the University of Illinois wondered if they could improve the battle over lactic acid bacteria by having yeast produce a natural, protein to fight the contamination.

They first needed to engineer a yeast that could produce the proteins and attack the bacteria from within. Findings published in the journal Viruses, show that these proteins known as endolysins were successful in helping to improve ethanol productivity and yields.

“What’s important is that these endolysins, these proteins, can effectively kill these bacteria in a very specific and handy way,” says Michael Miller, associate professor of food microbiology in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition (FSHN) at U of I, and co-author of the

paper. “It’s also very easy or at least conceivable to engineer the fermenting yeast to make the proteins for us, which potentially makes addressing the bacterial contamination a lot cheaper.

“That was another big contribution of this paper, in that we were able to successfully get yeast to make and secrete endolysins, and make it be antimicrobial in the fermentation broth,” he adds.

Yong-Su Jin, professor of food microbiology in FSHN and coauthor of the paper, explains that the protein they used in their experiment is used by bacteriophage, a type of virus that infects bacteria.

“When a bacteriophage infects bacteria, especially like lactic acid bacteria, endolysins are what the bacteriophage uses to burst the host cell,” Jin explains.

Natural, yeast-derived proteins curb bacterial contamination in ethanol production ...continued from page 30 tions in ethanol fermentations,” Miller says. “We’re not saying we’ve solved it, but this shows that endolysins have potential to do that. If you think about antibiotics, they’re very broad spectrum and kill lots of things.

They’re pretty indiscriminant, which is sometimes good, but sometimes not what we want.

“In this particular case, these endolysins are much more tar-

geted and so the sweet spot would be if you had ones that were broad enough to kill all or most of the problem bacteria, but leave everything else alone. That’s where we want to be for these kinds of applications,” Miller adds.

“These endolysins have the potential to do something like that.”

Jin adds that demonstrating that endolysins can be functionally made in

the yeast and secreted in the media may have other applications beyond ethanol production.

“This shows us that we could use this idea for many other applications. We are talking about things like how to prevent gut infect i o n , specifically Clostridi um difficile infection.

We could potentially engineer the use of specific endolysins that would attack bad bacteria.”

Incentivizing increased no-till adoption may be more costly than expected

By Brian Wallheimer Purdue University

Farmers who have switched to no-till management practices are sequestering significant amounts of carbon in the soil. Those who haven’t already made the change may be willing to do so if the price is right.

Carbon is stored as soil organic matter that is released into the air as carbon dioxide through soil respiration.

Globally, more carbon is stored in soils than is present in the atmosphere, and there is potential for even greater storage.

Traditional tillage practices break up and turn over the soil, resulting in the release of soil carbon to the atmosphere.

While no-till management practices store more carbon in the soil, the on-farm decision to make that change comes with tradeoffs. Notill may reduce yield, but there are also cost savings in fuel and equipment maintenance. If it’s a wash, that’s been good enough for some.

Purdue economist Nicole W i d m a r a n d University of I l l i n o i s economist Ben Gramig, formerly of Purdue, surveyed Indiana farmers, to see what it would take to get farmers to adopt no-till practices and how they would react to incentive programs for adoption of soil car-

bon sequestration.

Their findings published in the journal Applied E c o n o m i c Perspectives and Policy, may be useful for those interested in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from farms.

“Up until now, the majority of farmers who have gone to no till or conservation till have done so without payment,” Widmar said. “If you incentivize the others, what will it take?”

The answer: an increase in net revenue of $10 per acre to switch from conservation till to no till; and $40 per acre to switch from conventional tillage to no till.

Widmar and Gramig found that where the money comes from also matters. Those numbers are what Indiana farmers are willing to accept if the increase in net revenue per acre is achieved from adopting no till alone.

But since those numbers would be difficult to achieve by just adopting no till, there other options for raising farm revenue.

If governments wanted to increase soil carbon sequestration, they could ask farmers to adopt no-till practices with a per-acre subsidy as an incentive.

Alternatively, a carbon market like the one used in California could allow carbon-emitting businesses to pay others to reduce emissions rather

than reducing their own. In that case, a business would pay a farmer to switch to no-till based on the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil by eliminating tillage.

In Widmar and Gramig’s study Indiana farmers saw government subsidies in a negative light but disliked market payments for carbon credits even more compared to being able to achieve higher net revenue per acre from adoption of no-till without payments.

“Farmers would rather forego carbon payments of $2.48/acre or $ 1 2 . 7 8 / a c r e from either respective payment source if an increase in net revenue after adopt-

ing reduced tillage practices is possible without any carbon payment,” the authors wrote.

The authors also found that farmers were disinclined to accept multi-year contracts for moving to no-till. Farmers were willing to forgo $10.47/acre to stay in a year-by-year contract.

That was surprising, Widmar said, because farmers are often in favor of longer contracts to lock in favorable prices.

“If you’re going to try to compensate farmers to make changes that are positive for the climate, securing longer contracts will come at a price,” Gramig said.

8 best things to buy in December and January Oh the weather outside is frightful.

Rather than succumb to cabin fever, people can use the winter months as the perfect time to visit area stores and score a few deals.

Savvy shoppers understand that key items go on sale at specific points throughout the year. Learning how to shop the sales can lead to considerable savings.

December 1. Toys: Toys are perhaps the best items to purchase in December. Apart from Christmas gifts, it is a good time of year to stock up on toys children have coveted, which can be put away for birthday presents or other occasions. Retailers tend to lower toy prices as Christmas approaches.

2. Holiday decor: Decorative holiday items also tend to be heavily discounted in December. Stores slash prices on ornaments, gift wrap, artificial trees, holiday-themed baking

items, and much, much more. If it has a passing connection to the holidays, chances are stores will cut prices by 50 percent or more once Christmas is over.

3. Televisions: It’s possible to find discounted TVs even after the Black Friday sales have come and gone. Keep eyes trained on the circulars and jump when sales are advertised, as inventory may be limited.

4: Bubbly: Competition in the market will help drive down the cost of champagne and other sparkling wines.

According to the wine resource GuildSomm, 22 percent of all champagne sales are run during the month of December.

January 5. Winter apparel: As the winter progresses, the amount of clothing stock in stores starts to dwindle to free up room for a new season’s worth of attire.

Starting in late December and continuing into the latter half of January, re-

tailers are eager to liquidate their stock of scarves, sweaters, boots, and winter coats. This is a prime time to replenish wardrobes.

6. Linens: “White sales” are traditionally in January, with home goods retailers running discounts all month long. These sales generally encompass towels, bed sheets, curtains, and other linens.

7. Fitness items: January is the ideal time to purchase a new gym membership or fitness equipment since these purchases tie into New Year’s resolutions to get fit. Gyms may waive extra fees or offer discounted rates.

8. Travel and entertainment: Most people return home after the holidays, and that can generate a slow travel season afterward. The travel industry attracts new customers with discounted hotel rates and other deals. Tickets to Broadway shows and other theaters also may be discounted to encourage people to leave the house.

SAVVY SHOPPERS understand that key items go on sale at specific points throughout the year. Learning how to shop the sales can lead to considerable savings.

December and January are great times to grab steep deals on an array of products.

A tasty take on turkey just in time for Thanksgiving

Perhaps no day is more synonymous with a certain dish than Thanksgiving is with turkey. As tasty as turkey can be, this flavorful fowl doesn’t find its way onto many families’ dinner tables unless it’s Thanksgiving day.

Secret family turkey recipes may reign supreme in some households, but holiday hosts with no such resources can consider this unique recipe for “Holiday Turkey” from Andrew Schloss’ “Cooking Slow” (Chronicle Books).

By slow cooking the

turkey, cooks can ensure it’s evenly cooked Holiday Turkey Makes 15 servings 1 fresh turkey, about 15 pounds, preferably freerange 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 quart apple cider 2 teaspoons dried poultry seasoning Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Remove the giblets from the turkey and discard (or save for another

use).

Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. During that time, the surface of the turkey will become visibly dry and the skin will tighten; this encourages a nice crisp skin on the finished bird.

Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before you plan to start roasting.

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Put the turkey on a rack set in a large, flameproof roasting pan. Drizzle the oil over the top.

Roast for 1 hour.

Reduce the oven temperature to 175 F. Pour the cider into the roasting pan and sprinkle the poultry seasoning in the liquid. Continue roasting until an instantread thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh (but not touching bone) registers to 170 F. Transfer the turkey to a carving

Lundquist

board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 15 minutes (see tip).

Meanwhile, skim the fat from the surface of the liquid in the pan. Put the roasting pan over two burners and bring the pan drippings to a boil over high heat.

Cook until the juices reduce and thicken slightly, enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Carve the turkey and serve with cider pan juices.

Resting tip: Slowroasted meats need far less resting time (pretty much none) than those that are traditionally roasted. The reason for resting meat that has been roasted at a high temperature is to allow juices that have collected in the cooler center time to migrate back into the dryer (hotter) exterior sections after it comes out of the oven. Because slow-roasted meats are cooked evenly and a temperature that keeps most of the juices in place, a resting period is largely unnecessary.

SECRET FAMILY turkey recipes may reign supreme in some households, but holiday hosts with no such resources can consider this unique recipe for “Holiday Turkey” from Andrew Schloss’ “Cooking Slow” (Chronicle Books).

How to prepare for Black Friday

Black Friday devotees know that the day after Thanksgiving is a day for deals. While some shoppers may associate Black Friday with midnight openings or crowded stores, many retailers have gone to great lengths to make Black Friday shopping safer and more customer-friendly.

Shoppers who want to land the best Black Friday deals need not camp outside their favorite stores on Thanksgiving night.

Oftentimes, landing the best deals just takes a little preparation and due diligence on the part of shoppers.

• Peruse Black Friday ads in advance of the big day. Many retailers begin adver-

tising their Black Friday deals well in advance of Thanksgiving.

Shoppers who know which stores they want to visit on Black Friday should begin looking for those stores’ fliers in early November, and continue to do so as Black Friday draws closer.

This gives shoppers a chance to plan their Black Friday shopping so they can visit stores with the most enticing or time-sensitive deals first.

• Create a list and make shopping a team effort. Once retailers have announced the details of their Black Friday sales, shoppers can make a list of items they hope to purchase. When shopping, don’t go it alone.

Instead, team up with a spouse, neighbor or older children who can then be given certain items to find in the store once doors open.

• Bring snacks.

Unless shoppers are visiting specialty retailers who cater to a small and very distinct clientele, they should expect long checkout lines on Black Friday. As a result, shoppers should bring healthy snacks along so they get an energy boost and don’t succumb to hunger while waiting on line.

• Download retailer apps. Many retailers now have their own smartphone apps, which may or may not advertise Black Friday deals.

Download such apps

so you can stay up-todate on the latest deals. Some retailers may even match their competitors’ appadvertised deals.

• Bring an envelope for receipts. Many Black Friday deals include discounts that are offered via mail-in rebates.

These rebates typically require consumers mail their receipts to a retailer or manufacturer listed on the receipt. Shoppers can avoid losing out on rebate-based savings by bringing along an envelope for their receipts.

Black Friday is a day for deals. Holiday shoppers who plan ahead can save substantial amounts of money and may even get much of their shopping done early.

What is ‘Plaid’ Friday? ports independent business leaders, artists and activists in the city of Oakland, plaid symbolizes the weaving together of a creative and diverse

community of small b u s i n e s s e s .

Consumers interested in learning about Plaid Friday events and sales in their communities can contact local busi-

nesses or small business organizations in their areas to find out more and learn the various ways to support locallybased businesses this holiday season.

Host a turkey-free Thanksgiving Low in fat, high in protein and an inexpensive source of iron, zinc, potassium and B vitamins, turkey makes a healthy addition to a person’s diet. Turkey also tends to be the star of the show on Thanksgiving and other holidays. Even though turkey can be a delicious addition to any holiday table, some people prefer to

buck Thanksgiving tradition from time to time and divert focus from the golden gobbler.

Even though turkey may be synonymous with Thanksgiving, hosts and hostesses should not shy away from serving something different. In fact, turkey may not even have been on the menu for the first

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving dates back to New England in November 1621, when newly arrived Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians gathered for an autumn harvest celebration.

It’s reported that pilgrims went on a “fowling” mission in preparation for the three-day feast. Although wild turkey was plentiful in the region, ducks, geese, passenger pigeons, and swans were commonly consumed. Historians at Smithsonian say documents refer to wildfowl and venison as foods appearing at the first Thanksgiving, but turkey was not mentioned.

Home chefs can take a cue from those first pilgrims and choose less traditional offerings this Thanksgiving.

The following are some

ideas that are reminiscent of the first Thanksgiving.

• If the flavor is more palatable, don’t hesitate to select another bird to grace the Thanksgiving table, such as a goose or even a chicken.

Some people find turkey meat to be too dry, despite all of the different preparation methods. Chicken or goose may be more well-received and just as versatile.

• Don’t overlook the possibility of serving fish and other seafood. Colonists and the Wampanoag probably ate eel, lobster, clams, and mussels.

Fish can be dried, smoked and preserved.

• Replace wheatbased recipes with those made from cornmeal, as maize was more likely available during colonial time than wheat.

• Forests provided chestnuts, beechnuts and walnuts, so a platter of nuts paired with cheese or fruit also can make a welcome addition to the table. Nuts also can be ground and used in baked goods or flavoring for Thanksgiving desserts.

• Pumpkin and squash were plentiful in colonial times, and this is why these gourds are often included in Thanksgiving meals and decor. The flesh of a pumpkin or squash can be turned into casseroles or used to make quiche.

• A traditional Thanksgiving meal for the early settlers would not have included potatoes.

White potatoes originated in South America and sweet potatoes in the Caribbean. At the time of the first

THANKSGIVING GOOSE? This may have been a more likely option at the first Thanksgiving than the turkey enjoyed today.

Thanksgiving, these would not yet have been introduced, as white potato patches in North America were not established in the region until 1719, according to the potato resource Potato Goodness.

• Because colonists did not have wheat flour and butter to make flaky tart crusts, pumpkin pie was not on the first Thanksgiving menu.

In lieu of pumpkin

pie, hosts can experiment with moist loaf breads or muffins made with pumpkin.

The average Thanksgiving dinner table today looks quite different from the one the Wampanoag Indians and Pilgrims gathered around centuries ago.

Families can stick closer to history and tailor their meals for a touch of something different this year.

While Thanksgiving turkeys or Christmas geese will be found on many a table this holiday season, baked goods and desserts are what many people look forward to this time of year.

Thankfully, the following recipe for “ChocolateStrawberry Pie” from Addie Gundry’s “No-Bake Desserts” (St. Martin’s Press) can be prepared in just 15 minutes, all without turning on the oven.
