Clean Out the Banks event canceled Wabash River Defenders plan picnic, other activities instead By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com The Clean Out the Banks event set for July 25 has been canceled after the Wabash River experienced more flooding in the past several days, announced Keith Poole, Wabash River Defender (WRD) volunteer. After consulting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Poole and the WRD committee agreed at its board meeting on Friday, July 10, that the

river would be too high to get in the water to clean out debris, “if there is any.” WRD is a group of volunteers that meet yearly to assist in cleaning debris out of the banks of 19mile stretch of the Wabash River that runs through Wabash County. Since its formation in 2010, the organization successfully cleared out 62 tons of debris from its banks. Last year, the committee determined that there was not enough debris in the water to host another

Clean Out the Banks event and, instead, planned a 62 Ton RiverFest to celebrate its past years’ successes. This year, despite planning efforts, the recent series of inclement weather canceled the Defender’s original plans. “The river is just too flooded this year that there is no way we’ll be able to hold an event,” Poole said. However, planning for improved weather, Poole said the Defenders will still gather for a “Chow Down

On the Banks” picnic instead. The picnic will feature a short River Defender presentation, community picnic and team games, such as sack races, tug-of-war, corn hole and more. Disc jockey Tim Moser of Bourbon will play oldies and classic rock during the event. The picnic will be open to the public and the River Defenders teams to join in. “Team leaders will need to contact their teams and let the members know there will still be an

event,” Poole said. “The public is welcome to join in, but this is an opportunity for new Defenders to still learn what we’re all about and meet others who care about our river.” Chow Down On the Banks will begin at 10 a.m. at Paradise Springs on July 25. The Wabash River Defenders group picture will take place at 10:30 a.m. and games will promptly begin at 11 a.m. Lunch will be served approximately at 12 p.m.

The Mark C. Honeywell Public Outdoor Pool, Hanna Park and the allinclusive park projects are all coming along, according to Todd Titus, Parks Superintendent. The Hanna Park project is coming along nicely, he told the Board of Parks and Recreation at its meeting on Wednesday, July 8. “Two weeks ago, I believe the dates were June 22 and 23, we did a build project with a representative of the playground equipment supplier,” Titus continued. “It looks really good and nice. We have not had a chance to finish the timber edging or getting mulch in there because of the weather, but that is certainly on our agenda.” The Wabash Kiwanis Club and the Hanna Park Project Committee will be hosting a community work day on Saturday, July 18, Titus advised. “During that time, there will be painting of the shelter house, there will be some landscaping, perhaps there will be mulch around the playground equipment at that time, just some miscellaneous clean up.” Additionally, Gaunt & Son Asphalt will be repaving the alley, create addi-

tional parking spaces and donate pavement to repave the basketball court. The project committee is paying for the installation of two new basketball goals. “At some point in time, Gaunt & Son is going to come back and do a short, paved walkway from the sidewalk along East Hill (Street) to the picnic shelter, but it’s just too wet for them to get in there now to do the excavation and do more harm than good,” Titus said. “So that is going to be postponed for a while.” As for the Honeywell pool, the board voted on the final changes to its project contract. “I anticipate that this is the last change order of the project that kind of ties up a lot of miscellaneous add-ons and deductions, and the good news for us is this is actually a deduction so it actually reduces the contract price by $3,616,” Titus said. Savings in project included the elimination of ramp and handrail at the southeast entrance by recommendation by construction foreman, he continued. “The construction foreman actually suggested that we do something a little bit different there with a little wider sidewalk and we could extend the ramp, the handicap access out of it and actual(continued on page 10)

ing alumni are Paul Grossnickle, Central High School Class of 1942, Ben Wright, Chester High School Class of 1952, Leo Judy, Chester High School Class of 1955, Becky Ayres Long, Laketon High School Class of 1959, and David McFadden, Manchester High School Class of 1976. Fellow classmates and community members nominated graduates from Chester High School, Central High School, Laketon High School and Manchester High School for this distinction based on their outstanding careers and contributions to their communities and the world after graduation from the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools. Grossnickle graduated from Central High School in 1942. He attended Manchester College and the Northern Illinois College of Optometry. On September 3, 1944, he married Mary Jane Stuckey of North Manchester who worked for many years as his bookkeeper. In 1957, after two tours of duty in the U.S. Navy, first as a fighter pilot and later as a Navy optometrist, Paul Grossnickle founded

an optometric practice in Warsaw. The practice grew rapidly and by the mid 1960s, it had moved to its current location near Kosciusko C o m m u n i t y Hospital. His sons, Steven and Bruce, joined their father in his practice after their graduation from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine. In 1987, the Grossnickle Eye Center built on onsite surgery center, one of the first of its kind. Two other offices are located in Mishawaka and Elkhart. The practice now includes opthalmologists and optometrists as well as clinical and administrative staff dedicated to providing outstanding patient care and cust o m e r service. Grossnickle Eye Center is known as one of finest eye surgery centers in the country. After decades of providing outstanding eye care, Grossnickle retired in 2005. Wright graduated from Chester High School with the Class of 1952. After first attending Ohio State to major in veterinary medicine, Ben transferred to Indiana University for his undergradu-

ate degree and to attend the IU School of Medicine. He did his internship in Springfield and completed his residency at the University of Florida. He served as an anesthesiologist in Orlando hospitals for many years until 1984 and then moved to the Cape Canaveral Hospital in Cocoa Beach. He completed his respected career by serving as a temporary anesthesiologist in Indiana, Florida and Maine until he was 75. He and his wife, Lois - a Central High School graduate, are the parents of three children, Jill who lives in Indianapolis, Joe who lives in Avon Park and Jennifer who lives in Winter Park. Wright has been a car and airplane enthusiast during his lifetime. (continued on page 3)

Manchester alumni honored at reunion... continued from page 2 His nomination form included a reference to his “bad boy” image during high school and how surprised the Chester principal would have been to see how well he turned out. Of all the nominations received over the past four years, Judy has been nominated many times. He embodies the caring and generous spirit of our community. Leo is described as someone who truly values the welfare of others

above himself. He selflessly gives of his time and effort to deliver pies to others in need of cheer, to take people to the doctor or hospital, to visit retirement centers and send personal cards to more than twenty people a week. He’s a good samaritan with a heart of gold who expects no thanks or praise for the good work that he does. In addition to extraordinary volunteerism, he is a full time caregiver and protective husband

Manchester alumni gather for reunion Article provided More than half the audience was standing as Becky Sue Ayres Long, a 2015 Distinguished Alumni recipient, demonstrated the expanse of connections found at the sixth reunion of the Manchester Alumni. Once again former graduates from Florida, California, Minnesota, Tennessee and states between gathered at Manchester High School the fourth Saturday in June, this year June 27. The oldest graduate in attendance from the Chester Class of 1937 was Jean Loucks Renschler and the youngest, Bradley Wood, a 2004 graduate. Jim Myer, former Manchester teacher and 2013 Mr. Alumni, emceed the program from welcome through closing. Introductions of school administration, former teachers, and the alumni committee preceded recognition of the 50th Anniversary Class of 1965, as well as Classes of 1960 (55 years) and 1965 (60 years). Sixty lives, now gone, were recognized with the annual remembrance, Celebration of Life. That number is equivalent to twothirds of this year’s graduating class. Those few moments make poignant the quote “I believe that you should always leave loved ones with loving words, it may be the last time you see them” (source: unknown) and signifies justification for attendance at this annual event with the opportunity to acknowledge acquaintances from the past. The Chain-o-Lakes Barbershop Harmony Chorus, singing patriotic, spiritual, and love songs, as expected with barbershop harmony, provided the entertainment as well as closing the gathering with “An Irish Blessing”. Dick Holderman, Central 1954, as spokesman for the group introduced their selections and pointed out the Manchester connections, including Jim Hearn, Central 1953, and Dick Sutton, who stole a Manchester girl, Kay Wible, Cenetral 1956. In addition to Ayres-Long, Dr. Paul Grossnickle, Dr. Benjamin Wright, Leo Judy, and Dr. David McFadden were presented 2015 Distinguished Alumni Awards by Nancy Alspaugh, Manchester High School Principal. All recipients are nominated by alumni, must be an alumnus of Manchester, Chester, Central or Laketon High School and have graduated prior to the Class of 2005. All are accomplished in their own endeavors and deserving of community pride and recognition. Traditionally the four school songs are sung at closing by the graduates of each school. The next reunion is scheduled for June 25, 2016.

of his wife, Laura. As the only male on the Manchester Alumni Committee, Judy runs errands and promotes the Alumni Reunion in many ways. He still supports Squire basketball by attending almost every varsity boys’ and girls’ games. After attending Chester and graduating from Laketon High School in 1959, Long went to Ball State Teachers’ College or university now receiving degrees in 1963 and 1967. She recently completed 50 years in education teaching in Indianapolis, Chicago, West Lafayette, St. Louis and Anaheim, Calif. She has been honored by the state of California for her achievements in education for raising student test scores and for her work with the Education Academy. As an educator, Long always stressed the importance of continuing education onto college and beyond. For her, teaching has been a labor of love and her goal was to make the classroom an exciting environment where learning was both productive and useful and students were encouraged to be successful. She is looking forward to spending more time with her husband, David, her sons and grandsons.

McFadden became M a n c h e s t e r University’s 15th president on July 1, 2014, after 20 years as a senior leader at the institution. A thirdg e n e r a t i o n Manchester graduate, he said, “I couldn’t be more proud to serve any institution in the country.” M c F a d d e n majored in economics, political science and peace studies at Manchester, graduating in 1982. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in political science at Claremont Graduate University and served Claremont as an administrator for six years. He returned to Manchester to lead its enrollment efforts and, over the next two decades, worked with strategic planning, marketing, institutional research, and institutional accredita-

tion, among a variety of assignments. He spearheaded the Fast Forward threeyear degree and the Triple Guarantee, programs that gained national attention. As an assistant professor of political science, he also taught environmental politics. McFadden became executive vice president in 2004. In this role, he led the exploration and launch of Manchester’s Pharmacy Program and the opening of the University’s Fort Wayne campus, becoming dean of the College of Pharmacy in 2012. He and his wife, Renee who is also an educator, met at orientation in 1976 and have two grown children, Rachel and Sam who are MHS and Manchester University graduates as well.

the first 40 who sign up.

“Goose Graphics is going to print some

tT-shirts for us with a Hanna Park logo on

the front,” Tandy said. “We thought it would be a nice small token of appreciation for anyone who came out and did their part to improve the park. “If volunteers want to make sure that they get a tshirt, we’re asking that they contact us ahead of time to give us their name and shirt size. We’ll hold back a T-shirt for anyone who signs up, but we expect to run

out at some point.” Following the work session around noon, the Wabash Kiwanis Club will be host a cookout at the park and provide free hamburgers and hot dogs to all volunteers.

Jump for Jace, a jump roping fundraiser, took place at Northfield High School on June 27. Kids had the opportunity to jump rope while adults had a chance to purchase Jump for Jace merchandise and participate in the live auction. All proceeds raised at the fundraiser went toward alleviating some of Jace Randel’s medical expenses. Jace, 11, is a local resident diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a rare disease that affects bone marrow stem cells that produce blood cells. Jace’s bone marrow is unable to produce white blood cells, red blood cells or blood platelets, according to jumpforjace.org. On March 24, Jace received a bone marrow transplant from his sister Audrie, a perfect bone marrow match. Currently the family is still waiting for Jace’s white blood cells to begin producing on their own, a sign showing that his body is accepting Audrie’s bone marrow, according to the site. Brett Wynn, fundraiser head organizer, said that the event was to raise funds as well as show that the community cares about the people and children in it. To donate to Jace’s cause, visit jumpforjace.org. Photo by Emma Rausch

NM Council joins fight to save WIC office By Shaun Tilghman news@thepaperofwabash.com The Indiana Department of Health recently announced that the North Manchester Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program office would close on Oct. 1 in order to consolidate with the Wabash office. Not only has that decision sparked unrest among community members, but Town Council has now passed a resolution on the matter as well. As many of you have been following, the WIC Program is scheduled to end in North Manchester, said Town Council President Chris Garber during the July 1 meeting. “There’s been an active group of citizens making phone calls to the State, and I hear there¹s some positive things going on there,” he said. “But, we do have a resolution tonight that supports WIC, and with your permission we’d like to read it.” Town Clerk-

Treasurer Carrie Mugford then read Resolution No. 2, 2015, which is a resolution in support of maintaining a local WIC office. The resolution states that it is of vital importance to the Town of North Manchester to promote care for its youngest and most vulnerable citizens; and an essential part of that care is the ability of young mothers to access nutrition and common foods, such as milk, as well as healthcare referrals for pregnant women, newborns, and children. It goes on to explain that the Indiana Department of Health has indicated North Manchester will be losing an important link for these services with the closing of the local WIC office. As a result, Town Council resolves to assist in an effort to keep that office open in North Manchester by lending its voices to that effort through this resolution. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to State Sen. Jim

Banks, State Rep. David Wolkins, and Indiana Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Jerome Adams. During the discussion period for the resolution, Town Council member Jim Smith said, “It really is going to be hurtful to almost 200 families if this office closes because they¹ll have to go to Wabash to get services.” Fellow Council member Tom Dale added, “I would say that¹s probably part of the reason that they’re needing those services in the first place, is that the travel would be difficult.” In other business, Mugford introduced General Ordinance No. 2, 2015, and explained why it is necessary. “Three parts were initially proposed for the LOIT (Local Option Income Tax) when it was new a few years ago, and Wabash County did not take the public safety portion of it,” she said. “At the beginning of this year they adopted

the public safety portion,” Mugford continued, “and one of the stipulations with that is that it has to be in its own fund. So, we need to create a fund to put that money into in order to monitor it, and it can be used for any purposes for public safety.” The measure is an ordinance amending specific sections of the town’s Municipal. Whereas, the Town of North Manchester operates police and fire departments within the town’s jurisdiction, and the town desires to continue to operate said police a n d fire departments for the citizens of the town, and Wabash County has passed a Public Safety Local Option Income Tax, and it is necessary to create a specific and separate non-reverting fund for deposit, expenditure, and disbursement of funds generated by the tax. According to the ordinance, Fund No. 249 LOIT Public Safety Fund has been established with the

purpose of being funded with the tax revenues generated by the Public Safety Local Option Income Tax. Expenditures may be made from the Fund for expenditures necessary for public safety; however, spending from the Fund shall not exceed the taxes paid into the F u n d . Smith then inquired as to whether this would become part of the Town budget. “It is not appropriated,” Mugford explained, “so we don¹t have to get State approval because we’ll appropriate it ourselves. Since it’s locally appropriated, the Council can say how much you want to spend out of it, but it can only be used for public safety. You set the appropriations during the budget process, but they don’t have to go to the State for approval. “Ultimately, what it does is it takes the pressure off the General Fund.” Town Manager Dave Schoeff added, “If Council didn’t appropriate it all toward the budget, then individually, if somebody wanted to

buy something for public safety they would have to come to Council for approval.” Mugford went on to say that the additional appropriation process for this is simply a note in the minutes. “This will not reduce property taxes or any of our levies it¹s additional

income,” she explained. “I believe it’s because they cut one-third of our other LOIT operating last year, which put us in quite a pinch.” Mugford concluded by informing Council members that income from the first half was just over $79,000.

Adults can enter in the drawing as often

Stirring it up with Angie Baer Just east of our old barn is a mature, t h i c k , b r i e r y, black raspb e r r y patch. My husband, D a v e , planted it nearly 25 years ago. It’s really quite overgrown but I love it. It has produced many pies and cobblers over the course of 25 years. This raspberry patch has been home to many birds, bunnies and probably a few small snakes if the truth were known. Last week our grandkids came for a short three-day visit. They were more than eager to help me pick berries and make pies. As I watched four small children with raspberry stained fingers and faces sit on my back porch steps eating raspberry pie and vanilla ice cream, I couldn’t help but to

think that it seems like just yesterday my own children were sitting on those same back steps eating raspberry pie and vanilla ice cream. If you have raised children, you know exactly what I mean. For days like those, I’m giving you my recipe for the perfect pie crust. Trust me, it’s fool proof. Never Fail Pie Crust

4 cups flour 1/3 cup sugar 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups shortening (I use Crisco) Mix this together with a pastry blender until coarse like cornmeal. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 egg, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, 1/2 cup water. Add slowly to flour mixture. Form a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before rolling out dough. Cooking tip: Don’t overwork the pie dough. The less you work with it, the better.

Miller receives America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders scholarship By The Paper staff

URBANA – Houston Miller, of Urbana, has been awarded a $1,500 scholarship from America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders, a new program sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. Miller is studying agronomy and crop science at Purdue University to pursue a career as an agronomist. “While growing up, I gained an excellent ag background because both of my grandpas farmed,” said Miller. “Working in agronomy is very intriguing to me because the majority of my time will be spent in the field, and there is nowhere I would rather be than in the outdoors.” The future of agri-

culture relies on talented young people like Miller to fill thousands of jobs in a variety of fields, such as plant science, engineering, communications, finance and more. Grow Ag Leaders encourages rural youth to remain in agriculture and provides scholarships to support their education. Grow Ag Leaders scholarships, administered by the National FFA Organization, are available to high school seniors and college students pursuing degrees in agrelated fields. To be considered, each applicant is required to receive endorsements from at least three local farmers. Thanks in part to Indiana farmers, who participated in the

HOUSTON MILLER successful six-state pilot launch in 2014, the program was expanded across the country. With support from the Monsanto Fund, more than $500,000 in scholarships has been awarded to students this year. For more information, v i s i t GrowAgLeaders.com , and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Pool and park projects updated ...continued from the front page ly save us $1,700,” Titus said. Other savings included Duke Energy allowance of $100 and cuts for seeding expenses of $1,000 and parking lot expenses of $6,000. The pool, however, added an expense of $3,331.26 for an emergency repair the

project experienced during construction. “When we started up the main pool, we had a pipe rupture on the old side of the project,” he said. “It was an existing pipe. It wasn’t part of the project. We had a pipe rupture, so we had to have that taken care of before we could continue.”

S p e a r Corporation, a subcontractor on the project, was at the site at the time of the rupture and was able to repair it immediately, Titus said. “At this point in time, the (pool’s) contract amount is $2,017,186,” Titus said. The all-inclusive

park project planning committee is expected to visit the board’s next, regular meeting date on Aug. 12 to present a public presentation of the park’s plans, get the board’s approval and begin raising funds and the construction design phase, Titus said.

Anyone who is interested in learning about pollinator habitats is invited to attend. You will learn reasons to create a habitat, how to select a site and species, how to establish and maintain the site, as well as cost share assistance for landowners who agree to establish a pollinator habitat. Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within flowers or carried from flower to flower by pollinating animals such as birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles, and other animals, or by the wind. “America’s families depend on pollinators, essential in agriculture and critical to the production of more than onethird of our food products. In fact, more than 75 percent of flowering plants rely on pollinators,” says U.S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden. Presenters will be Kent Hanauer, Indiana Department Natural Resources (IDNR)

Wildlife Biologist on how to Create, Establish, and Maintain a Pollinator Habitat, Tom Applegate, Applegate’s Seed House on Site and Species Selection, and Rick Duff, Miami County Natural R e s o u r c e s Conservation Services (NRCS) on Cost-Share Assistance. There is a pollinator habitat at the site of these workshops for people to see.

Library’s site for teachers at www.loc.gov/teachers. Applicants to the Teaching with Primary Sources Summer Teacher Institutes reflect the diversity of the world of K-12 education. Participants in a teacher institute session typically include school library media specialists and school administrators, in addition to classroom teachers. Those selected come from many different states, representing large metropolitan school districts and smaller, rural school districts. The expertise provided by the Library of

Congress during the institutes can benefit every level of K-12 education. Primary sources are the raw materials of history—original documents and objects that were created at the time under study. They are different from secondary sources—accounts or interpretations of events created by someone without firsthand experience. Students working with primary sources become engaged learners while building critical-thinking skills and constructing new knowledge. Teachers working in the Library’s collections will explore the

Officials call 4-H Fair a success... continued from the front page There were several changes at the fair, including changes to the queen’s pageant. For the first time, live judging was part of the pageant, and the top 10 candidates were given questions, which they had to answer that night. “I heard that people really, really liked it,” she said. “They really liked hearing the girls answer the questions. “At times, things kind of drug on a little bit. So I imagine things will be tweaked a little next

year. But it’s that learning curve.” Doug Mays, 4-H Council President, also was pleased with the changes in the pageant. “It puts the girls under a little more pressure,” he said. “It gives them some reallife situations that they’ll have to deal with going forward. It was a nice new twist.” Overall, he was pleased with Fair Week. “I think the kids have really enjoyed themselves,” he said.

Another major change at the fair was having horses on display in the barn all week. That came about after the Indiana State Board of Animal Health canceled all poultry shows across the state due to the fear of bird flu. “Having the horse and ponies here all week, we’ve had some non-horse people who enjoyed seeing those animals here. So, overall, it’s been a really good week.” Cooler tempera-

Autumn Ridge named July Blue Ribbon Business

Autumn Ridge Rehabilitation Centre has been named the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce’s Blue Ribbon Business of the Month. Photo provided By The Paper staff Autumn Ridge Rehabilitation Centre is the July Blue Ribbon Business of the Month by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. Autumn Ridge, located at 600 Washington St., Wabash, is one of nearly 90 senior health and memory care facilities operated by American Senior Communities. The facility employs 90 professional and support staff. Autumn Ridge Marketing and Admissions Director Michael Lehman said the community is one of the area’s largest advocates for the A l z h e i m e r ’ s Association.

“We are also the only facility in Wabash that offers programming and a special unit for those with dementia and Alzheimer’s,” he said. Along with our Auguste’s Cottage Memory Care Center, we have a designated memory care facilitator who is responsible for the day-to-day programming on our dementia unit.” Other services offered by Autumn Ridge include Moving F o r w a r d Rehabilitation, LongTerm Care, Skilled Care, Respite and Hospice.

tures and rain plagued the fair on some days. The horse show, which began July 3 and finished on July 9, was delayed on its second day because of torrential rain that hit during the swine show and lingered most of the day and into the night. The horse show was supposed to have started at 8 a.m., but was delayed until

noon to allow volunteers to tend to the show arena. “We can always expect some sort of weather,” Mays said. “But you just never know. This year we got a little cold and a little rain.” The rain caused some problems at the outdoor arena, forcing one event to be canceled and another to be postponed until later in the week.

“I just want to thank everyone for coming out, and we’re looking forward to

2016 and hope we can make it even better,” Mays said.

Summer Nights Cruise-In to benefit Special Olympics Event planned July 25 at Wabash Municipal Airport By The Paper staff Northern Indiana Aviation will have its annual “Summer Nights Cruise-In” from 5-8 p.m. July 25 at the Wabash Municipal Airport, 283W. 400S.. Proceeds from this event benefit the Special Olympics of Wabash County. “The Special Olympics of Wabash County is very personal to me,” Jeff

Traver, owner of Northern Indiana Aviation, said. “My daughter Alley is a participating athlete. What the organization does for its athletes is great and we want to support them as much as we can.” Between 75 and 100 athletes participate annually in anything from track, bowling and basketball competitions. “A lot of the athlete’s families can’t afford to participate in all the events and we want to make sure anyone who wants to be involved can be,” Traver continued.

“The Cruise-In is a fun way to raise funds and awareness. ” Doug Adams, Wabash County coordinator for the Special Olympics, explained exactly what the funds raised will be used for, “Just like any other budget it takes a given amount of money to run a program,” Adams said. “There is a basic budget that is required to get us through a given year. “Additional moneys allow us to provide our athletes with some little extras like matching shirts and

short for summer games. It costs approximately $250 to fund an athlete who participates in all of our sports annually.” “Special Olympics is great for our athletes to be involved in,” Adams continued. “They participate with their old friends and new friends in a team effort and have total support for each other. Our volunteers and coaches work with the athletes on developing new skills and improve old ones.” The Cruise-In is free of charge for

That is athleticism at its finest” This event is presented by Lutheran Health Network and additionally sponsored by Visit Wabash County, Barnes and Thornburg, London

Experts E xxperts in M Memory emory C Care are While a cure for Alzheimer’s disease does not yet exist, many options are available that enable those with the disease or other forms of memory loss to enjoy a quality of life. The progression of Alzheimer’s and the symptoms that accompany it often make it difficult for family members to continue care at home. Auguste’s Cottage is a structured, research-based program utilizing the social model philosophy of care. We care for our residents by making them feel at home, rather than in an institutional setting. Excellent healthcare is always provided, but quality of life is our primary focus.

Early season migratory bird hunting dates proposed From the Indiana DNR The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife has submitted to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) proposed 2015 dates for early season hunting of migratory birds in Indiana. As in other years, these dates are not final until the USFWS approves them, which typically happens by

the end of August. The season dates fall within the framework provided by USFWS, so no changes are anticipated. Indiana’s requested seasons have never been altered by USFWS after submission. However, there is always a slight possibility of change. Therefore, the dates below should not be interpreted as final. The DNR will issue a

news release once dates are approved, and if any changes are made. Canada goose: Statewide, Sept. 1 – Sept. 15; five-bird bag/15-bird possession limit. Mourning doves: Statewide, Sept. 1 – Oct. 18, Nov. 1 – Nov. 8, Dec. 12 – Jan. 10; 15bird bag/45-bird possession limit. Rail (sora only): Statewide, Sept. 1 –

Eilts sinks hole in one By The Paper staff

Hank Eilts was able to accomplish a feat to which many have tried to do but few have succeeded at, making a hole in one. Eilts was able to score his ace on Sunday, July 12, on Hole No.16 at Honeywell Golf Course with a 7 iron at a distance of 116

yards. Jim Ridenour, Bryan Deeter, and Jack Leland were there to witness this outstanding achievement. What makes this even more rewarding for Eilts, according to Honeywell Golf Pro Mel Thomas, is that he is 84 years young and it is his second Hole in one.

Zion Lutheran celebrates mortgage burning Article provided On June 11, 1999, Zion obtained a 20year mortgage of $462,128 with Lutheran Church Extension Fund. in St Louis Mo. The estimated cost of the building was $813,000, however the actual cost ended up closer to $1,000,000. The last payment was made on Feb. 2, 2015, and a committee was selected to plan a Mortgage Burning Celebration held on June 28, 2015. Approximate 70 people were in attendance including two

of the Laborers for Christ who worked on the church building. Plans to build a new church started in the early 1990s when a member bequeath $70,000 for a new building fund. Land was purchased in 1993 on Hale Drive from a Mennonite Church. It wasn’t until 1995 that a building committee was formed and the first of two “Three Year Sustained Giving Stewardship Emphasis Program” was given asking members to pledge “over and above” their usual pledged amount. That pro-

gram concluded with pledges of $225,000. The second three year program was renewed in 1999, this time raising $171.000. In 1997, Mary Ellen Rudisel of Scearce Rudisel Architects, Inc of Warsaw was hired and the new church plans began. Groundbreaking services were held on the property on April 26, 1998 On May 1, 1999, eight couples from Laborers for Christ parked their campers in the church parking lot and construction began. Laborers for Christ is a group of

retired men and women who travel to different projects throughout the Country and build or renovate churches, affiliated colleges, summer camps and assisted living projects. The Laborers completed their task at Zion in Nov of 1999 and the church members finished the balance of the interior work. A farewell service was held on Dec. 26, 1999, in the old church at 111 Falls Ave,. and the first service in the new building at 173 Hale Drive was celebrated on Jan. 1, 2000.

Enrollment for 2016 Dairy Margin Protection Program begins From the USDA News Bureau Starting July 1, dairy farmers can enroll in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Margin Protection Program for coverage in 2016, Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden announced. The voluntary program, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, provides financial assistance to participating dairy operations when the margin – the difference between the price of milk and feed costs – falls below the coverage level selected by the farmer. Harden made the announcement while visiting Wolfe’s Neck Farm and dairy school in Freeport, Maine. “More than half of our nation’s dairy producers enrolled in the 2015 program, which exceeded our

expectations for the first year of the program,” said Harden. “We are confident that dairy farmers across the country will again take advantage of this safety net program for 2016. USDA will continue outreach efforts, including partnering with cooperative extension services, to ensure dairy producers are fully informed about the protections that this safety net program can provide during periods of market downturns.” The Margin Protection Program gives participating dairy producers the flexibility to select coverage levels best suited for their operation. Enrollment begins July 1 and ends on Sept. 30, 2015, for coverage in 2016. Participating farmers will remain in the program through 2018 and pay

a $100 administrative fee each year. Producers also have the option of selecting a different coverage level during open enrollment each year. Margin Protection Program payments are based on an operation’s historical production. An operation’s historical production will increase by 2.61 percent in 2016 if the operation participated in 2015, providing a stronger safety net. USDA also has an online resource available to help dairy producers decide which level of coverage will provide them with the strongest safety net under a variety of conditions. The enhanced Web tool, available at www.fsa.usda.gov/m pptool, allows dairy farmers to quickly and easily combine their unique operation data and other

key variables to calculate their coverage needs based on price p r o j e c t i o n s . Producers can also review historical data or estimate future coverage based on data projections. The secure site can be accessed via computer, mobile phone, or tablet, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dairy operations enrolling in the program must meet conservation compliance provisions. Producers participating in the Livestock Gross Margin insurance program may register for the Margin Protection Program, but this new margin program will only begin once their Livestock dairy insurance coverage has ended. Producers must also submit form CCC-782 for 2016, confirming their Margin Protection Program

coverage level selection, to the local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. If electing higher coverage for 2016, dairy producers can either pay the premium in full at the time of enrollment or pay a minimum of 25 percent of the premium by Feb. 1, 2016. The Margin Protection Program was established by the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools;

expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America. For more information, visit

www.usda.gov/farmbill. For more information, visit FSA online at www.fsa.usda.gov/d airy for more information, or stop by a local FSA office to learn more about the Margin Protection Program. To find a local FSA office in your area, visit http://offices.usda.g ov.

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.
