IUK, Promise join forces Local 8th graders have chance to earn $1,000 scholarships By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Indiana University Kokomo is teaming with Wabash County Promise to provide scholarships for Wabash County students who participate in the local program. IUK Chancellor Susan SiameGiesecke pledged $1,000 scholarships to all current eighth grade students who meet program requirements and enroll at IU Kokomo. The scholarships were announced during a brief ceremony Monday, Nov. 7, in the Wabash County YMCA lobby. IUK and Wabash County Promise officials were on hand, as were representatives from the Community Foundation of Wabash County and the three local school districts. Siame-Giesecke, during brief remarks, said it was the job of a chancellor of a regional campus to help lift up the region it serves. Wabash is one of about 14 communities in the region served by IUK. “We can lift the region up by helping more and more young

people, helping them realize the potential of going to college,” she said. “It was just natural when we heard about what Wabash was doing, and how impressive it was, and what it was doing to help their young people rise to college.” She said thousands of young people come through the IUK campus each year. “What we want them to do is to see college, to feel college, to see themselves in college,” Siame-Giesecke said. “Hopefully they will look around and see the hundreds of young people from Wabash who are attending IU Kokomo. Hopefully they look up and say, ‘Hey, that’s Joey’s brother or that’s Mary’s sister, and I could go there, too.’” IUK officials, she said, will continue to encourage area principals to bring their students to the campus to realize the experience. “We really don’t care where the students go to college,” Siame-Giesecke said. “We’d like for them to come to IU Kokomo. But if they choose to go to Ball State or Purdue or wherever

in the press, that college is too expensive and that you just can’t do it. With $7,5000, and you already have a $1,000 scholarship, and think about what’s in that savings account … and the child is off to college.” Promise Indiana Vice President Phil Maurizi called the partnership between the program and IUK “an opportunity for the campus to become

On Tuesday, Nov. 2, Gray was named this year’s recipient of the Healthcare Hero Award, a title that recognizes exceptional healthcare workers and volunteers. He will receive the award at the Parkview Wabash Hospital Foundation’s 22nd annual gala on Saturday, Nov. 12. The award, which was created by the Parkview Wabash Foundation in 2000, provides an opportunity to celebrate and honor individuals like Gray for their aspirations and achievements that are geared toward the betterment of health in Wabash and surrounding communities. Chris Sloan, Wabash County YMCA director of community engagement, nominated Gray for the award. The Healthcare Hero committee then selected him as recipient for his hard work, dedication and passion to fight against tobacco use. When Gray accepted his position as the coalition’s

Timbercrest Senior Living Community has set out to raise $2 million in its “Pathways to Wellness” campaign. Director of Development Faith Miller announced the campaign Saturday, Oct. 29, at a dessert banquet honoring friends and supporters of the company. “We are so grateful to all of you for your support of Timbercrest,” she said. Miller briefly discussed the variety of improvements Timbercrest hopes to make through the campaign with an accompanying slideshow. “What is the Pathways to Wellness campaign? It is a $2 million campaign that Timbercrest is involved with focused on wellness,” she said. There are eight areas of wellness that the campaign will

focus on: emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual. Of the $2 million officials plan to raise, $1 million will go toward Timbercrest’s endowment fund. “A larger endowment fund will greatly enhance Timbercrest’s financial wellness, and provide security to our residents,” Miller said. The endowment in part helps give assistance to Timbercrest residents who need financial assistance. A d d i t i o n a l improvements include a greenhouse, a vestibule for the Timbercrest Chapel and the Timbercrest Healthcare facility, automatic doors for the Healthcare facility, remodeling the courtyard between Crestwood – Timbercrest’s Alzheimer’s unit — and the Healthcare facility to make it flatter and add raised

flower beds, technology improvements, and new pathways around the campus. As of Oct. 29, the campaign has raised $716,000 over a twoyear period. Campaign committee members Pam Higgins and Jim Shively, with his wife Shirley, also spoke at the event. They shared why they believe in Timbercrest, and what they like about it. “[The residents] grew up in a time when community and connection were important. We, and all of this world for that matter, might do well to prioritize as they, and you, did and still do,” Higgins said. She also praised the facility’s staff.“Where this place really shines through is taking good care of people, really good care,” she said. The Shivelys have lived at Timbercrest for four and half years, and previously lived in North

Manchester. “Timbercrest means to me community and family,” Mrs. Shively said. “If there’s an emotional or physical need, family is around to help; neighbors, friends, and those on the staff here at Timbercrest; that’s why I appreciate it.” Shively said, “My reason for appreciating Timbercrest is a bit different. First of all, I don’t have to worry about mowing the yard; second, I don’t have to worry about removing snow; and third, if my light bulb burns out, I can get somebody to come change it.” On a more serious note, Jim noted that living at Timbercrest relieves their children of the burden of caring for them should they suddenly fall ill. “For me, that is a major relief that I don’t have to worry about, and that’s why I appreciate Timbercrest,” he said.

Timbercrest E x e c u t i v e Administrator David Lawrenz gave the closing remarks. “I’ve long believed, and actually I’ve known, that God looks favorably on Timbercrest,” he said. He shared an anecdote about how he used to walk the family’s golden retriever every day before she passed away, and how he realized how much he missed that after they recently adopted another golden. “[The story] is an analogy to our Pathway to Wellness. My walk with Molly is a pathway to wellness, for both of us… it’s physical wellness for the both of us; it’s emotional and mental wellness for me, and a spiritual wellness as well,” he said. “All of us want to be well. We seek wellness in all facets of our life. We all use different pathways to get there … Wellness is a sense that everything is okay.”

Democrat candidates roll into Wabash By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com A group of Democrat state and federal candidates stopped in downtown Wabash on Thursday

morning, Nov. 3, as part of a statewide bus tour prior to the Tuesday, Nov. 8, General Election. Gubernatorial hopeful John Gregg and his lieutenant governor running mate Christian Hale were among those visiting with party faithful in the lobby of the Charley Creek Inn. Senatorial candidate Evan Bayh and his wife, Susan, also chatted with their supporters, as did Attorney General candidate Lorenzo Arrendondo. Former Indiana First Lady Judy O’Bannon also was on hand to help drum up support for Tuesday’s election. O’Bannon talked about her friendship with Richard Ford, and urged the two dozen supporters present to reach out to their family and friends over the next few days, encouraging them – regardless of party alliance – to vote for the Democrat team. Bayh, who is seeking to be elected to a post he occupied six years ago, also spoke about his friendship with the late Ford. He too urged the faithful to work hard

Wabash woman involved with double fatal accident pleads guilty By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

A Wabash women that was involved in a March double-fatal crash pled guilty to several felony charges after entering a plea agreement on Monday, Oct. 17. Emilee J. Bowyer, 28, Wabash, pled guilty to two counts felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated resulting in death and two counts felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated resulting in serious bodily injury. Bowyer’s charges stemmed from a March 19 accident. At approximately 10:05 p.m., Wabash Central Dispatch was advised of a personal injury vehicle crash involving a head-on collision, according to the probable cause affidavit. According to an

Indiana State Police press release: ISP Trooper Michael Biggs reported that a 2006 Toyota SUV driven by Bowyer was traveling north on SR 15 when, for an unknown reason, it traveled left of center. Bowyer’s vehicle struck a southbound 2015 Lexus SUV headon. As a result of the crash, passenger Barbara J. Dryer, 69, was fatally injured and pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Lexus, Phillip E. Stephenson, 70, and another passenger, Sharon K. Stephenson, 67, were transported to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne. Mrs. Stephenson died from her injuries early Sunday morning, March 20. During the investigation, evidence indicated that Bowyer

BOWYER was allegedly under the influence of a narcotic at the time of the crash. According to the probable cause affidavit, a paramedic was performing a medical assessment of Bowyer in the presence of Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department Deputy E. Steve Hicks when he located items associated with drug usage including two syringes, a metal spoon that had signs of usage, piece of a

plastic bag and a piece of rolled up paper. Bowyer was originally charged with two counts of felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated resulting in death, two counts felony operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury, two counts felony reckless homicide, felony possession of a narcotic drug and felony illegal possession of a syringe. In June, Bowyer posted bond. However, following her plea hearing on Oct. 17, the State filed a petition to revoke bond after finding probable cause that she violated the bond agreement terms. According to a probable cause affidavit filed by the Wabash County P r o b a t i o n Department, violations include the fol-

City orders two homes razed By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

Two homes were ordered demolished on Thursday, Nov. 3, by the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety. Two others were saved from demolition, for now, and a fifth will likely face demolition sometime in 2017. A home owned by Charles Purdy, at 242 W. Main St., and Robert Rose, at 523 W. Hill St., were ordered demolished. The board discussed the Purdy home at its Oct. 6 meeting, and delayed a decision on the structure until its Nov. 3 meeting. B u i l d i n g Commissioner John

Stephens said there has been no change in the structure since the October meeting, and said he doubted there would be any. As for the West Hill Street property, Stephens said the condition of the structure worsened since the board’s initial hearing. In another matter, Grayson McCombs told the board he has made arrangements to repair the roof at a 1470 Adams St home. He said his contractor hoped to work on repairing the structure this month, but was currently on another job and was hoping to get to it a r o u n d Thanksgiving. The board gave McCombs until Dec. 20 to have repairs fin-

ished. Harold Burns was given an additional 90 days to complete repairs on a home at 645 Washington St. The board has been dealing with Burns on the structure since Sept. 16, 2015. Stephens said that the home is in better condition now than in September 2015, but that work, including siding and windows, were still needed. Giving additional time “would be the fair thing to do,” Stephens said. The board, in a final hearing at the meeting, gave Terry McCoy 90 days to clear items he was storing at 985 Pike St. from the facility. McCoy, who lives in Indianapolis, said he was using the struc-

Veteran’s Day ceremony planned Nov. 11 By The Paper staff

The Wabash County Courthouse will be the site of a Veteran’s Day Ceremony on Friday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. The service is open to the public and is conducted by the veterans’ organizations of Wabash County and their associated auxiliaries. Starting at 11 a.m., an invocation will be led by Chaplin Jim Black of the American

Legion Post 15 followed by Josie Wade singing of the national anthem. Mayor Scott Long and Chris Lee, representative for Cong resswoman Jackie Walorski, will say some remarks. The Ladies Auxiliaries from the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion will then lead in the laying of the wreaths. VFW Post 286

Commander Herb Mullen and American Legion Post 15 Commander Steve Baxter will then say some remarks. The VFW Rifle Team will then salute the flag and “Taps” will be played during the lowering of the flag. Bonnie Truss will play the bugle before VFW Post 286 Chaplin Mike Teal ends the ceremony with the benediction.

ture as a storage facility, and that he was in the process of looking for one closer to his home. Once the items are moved, he said, the structure would likely be razed. The structure is a home that also housed a laundromat in an addition. The roof on that addition has collapsed, Stephens said.

lowing: • On Thursday, Oct. 20, and Friday, Oct. 21, Bowyer was ordered to report to the Wabash County P r o b a t i o n Department and submit to a drug screen, but failed to do so on both occasions. • On Monday, Oct. 31, Bowyer reported to the Wabash County P r o b a t i o n Department and admitted to Probation Officer Chad Ulmer that she would be positive for the use of heroin, according to the affidavit. Ulmer then informed Bowyer that a drug screen would be administered for missing the previous drug screenings to which she refused to submit to. She was then arrested Oct. 31 and her bond was revoked at a Wabash County Circuit Court hearing on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Bowyer is incarcer-

ated at the Wabash County Jail. The sentencing

hearing for the guilty plea was set for Dec. 12 at 10 a.m.

IUK, Promise join forces Julie Garber, program director for the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, said the agency oversees 70 scholarships for high school seniors. “What we learned in that process is that we were not reaching the students we need to reach,” she said. “Traditional scholarships captured the usual suspects – those kids who have had support in their upbringing to believe they were going to college, and knowing all along they were going to college. Then, as they were coming up through the pipeline they learned about C o m m u n i t y Foundation scholarships. They apply and have all the letters of recommendation, the grade point average

and all the accoutrements for a scholarship. “But there’s that group of kids we were missing – those in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades – who were already opted out because college didn’t seem like a future for them. Maybe their parents didn’t go to college. Maybe they didn’t have kind of income that looked very helpful for college. Maybe they had ambitions about a certification or some kind of professional training that didn’t require a two- or fouryear professional degree.” Now youngsters as early as the fourth grade are learning skills that will help them later in college, such as persistence

and earning their own money to use for college, she said. The Promise program begins in kindergarten, with streamlining the process for parents to open a CollegeChoice 529 savings plan, and starting college visits during primary grades. One of the first components is having children and their families open a college savings plan, with program donors giving the first $25. The children are then asked to find champions, or supporters, to help them raise $25 to deposit in the account, which the community then matches. As the children grown older, the program focus shifts to college preparation, providing resources

to consider what classes to take in high school and how to apply for programs such as 21st Century Scholars, which removes some of the burdens of paying for college. The program began as the vision as YMCA CEO Clint Kugler and other local school leaders. Now in its fourth year, the Promise program has grown to 14 counties, with 25 others exploring a pilot program for 2017. Kugler said later this week, officials from the Community Foundation and the Promise program will be at the University of Kansas for the National CSA symposium. “Folks from all over the country will be gathered and we will

The experience has been humbling, but Gray said this work couldn’t have been done alone. “I’m honored by the selection and also recognition for our coalition,” he told The Paper of Wabash County. “It’s not something that I’ve done. I’m the farthest thing from being a hero. It’s the work of everybody in the coalition, the accomplishments and the things we’ve done over the last several years, and I just appreciate the recognition for the coalition’s work.” To Gray, the award is acknowledging his organization’s efforts. “The things we’ve done in our community is not just something one person (could do),” he explained. “It’s everybody working togeth-

er, and the fact that I have a coalition that’s very supportive and very much engaged in the work and the effort that we put out, it’s what’s made us successful and people more aware of the dangers of tobacco.” Since 2005, Gray has increased partnerships and collaborations with community members and businesses as well as established a downtown office with the Mental Health of Wabash County to increase accessibility and visibility of the coalition. Most recently, he worked with the Wabash City and Town of North Manchester parks departments to designate all parks as “smoke free.” Gray also assisted in establishing or bringing to the community programs including the Tobacco

Education Group and Tobacco Awareness Program for all Wabash County schools, Teens Against Tobacco Use (TATU), Voice, Toilet Talks, cessation services in collaboration with the Wabash County YMCA, and school prevention education for all second grade, fifth grade, middle school and high schools students. The Tobacco Free Coalition educates and assists individuals who wish to quit smoking, but it also focuses on prevention, according to Gray. “I believe that the best thing about healthcare is prevention and one thing that we strongly work toward is trying to provide information to prevent young people from trying to use tobacco,” he said. “If we educate them now and make them aware

If you got back.” Once his training began, however, Harrell eventually became the top turret gunner and flight engineer on a B-17 Bomber named Anita Marie. He served in the 379th Bomb Group 525th Squadron of the Eighth Air Force. Stationed in Kimbolton, England, Harrell joined nine other men on the bomber including pilot 1st Lt. Ladd, copilot Lt. Finch, bombardier Lt. Leung, navigator Lt. Peterson, radio operator Lt. Gielecki, ball turret gunner Andrew Mattie, left waste gunner Joe Gerrans, right waste gunner Doc Savage and tail gunner Bill Skeels. In the 379th Bomb Group, 60 planes flew out each mission, but not all made returned.

“They all tried to come back,” Harrell said. “Maybe sometimes we’d lose 50 percent like when we first started over there because (the enemy) had more guns and airplanes on the ground than we had to start with.” Anita Marie and its crew flew 30 missions over Germany and returned to base with battle damage 27 times. Missions averaged eight hours long, by Harrell’s estimate, but varied in length and distance traveled. When asked if he was ever anxious or nervous on missions, Harrell replied, “Every one.” “Didn’t know if we were ever going to come back or not,” he continued. “We had battle damage to our airplane every mission, except for three, and that’s when we had a short mission every once in a while. “Some missions weren’t too bad, some were a lot worse than others.” During one mission, part of Anita Marie’s tail was shot off while in another, a technical malfunction prevented the crew from knowing if the landing gear was down or not. “All you could do is ask the ball turret gunner and he was all mixed up,”

Earl Harrell (second from right) poses for a photo with (from left) his sonin-law Daryl Smith, daughter Anita Smith and friend Susan Beckett following an interview with The Paper of Wabash County in which he reflected on his time as an airman in WWII. Photo by Emma Rausch Harrell said. “Well, so the pilot told everyone to get in the radio room, which was in the middle of the plane. “Everybody except the pilot, co-pilot and the flight engineer,” Harrell continued with a smile, raising his hand to indicate that meant him. “Of course, I didn’t have a choice. I had to be up there. I had to stand between the pilot and the co-pilot calling out air speeds.” But one of most memorable was his longest flight. “The longest was 12 hours,” he said. “We went clear on the other side of Germany and near the Russian boarder, but when we got to come back, we hit an

air field and every (plane) was practically on their own instead of flying in formation. It takes more gasoline than it does when you’re on your own, and everyone was low on gas. “There were only three of us, three planes that made it back to the base, because they were landing on coasts and … there were about three or four that they had to ditch in the ocean.” The Air-Sea Rescue retrieved crews from the sea that had to ditch their planes. Harrell’s crew was one of the few that made it back entirely. “I would say probably one of the worst missions I flew was our first mission over Berlin,” Harrell

said. “It was a long one and a bad one. They had everything available at there at us. Fighter planes, flack, anti-aircraft guns.” Through the gunfire and smoke, however, his whole crew returned home. “We only had two men that were injured,” Harrell said. “The navigator got a hole in his arm and the left waste gunner got kind of a big mark on his butt. “But the rest of us were very fortunate.”

November 9, 2016

71 years later, World War II vet reflects on service ...continued from page 6 enlisted, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. His best friend Gene Estel joined him in the Air Corps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We graduated from high school together and we enlisted in the Air Corps together,â&#x20AC;? Harrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the same plane.â&#x20AC;? Estel served as a radio operator in the 381st Heavy Bomb Group U.S. Eighth Air Force on the B-17 Bomber, the Flying Fortress. However, while he flew 30 missions, Estel barely flew one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His first mission over Germany, his plane was shot down,â&#x20AC;? Harrell said. At first, Harrell was clueless to what had happened to his friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I was going to go see him,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had written me a letter letting me know where his base was and I was going to go see him when I was in England. â&#x20AC;Ś Then I got a letter from his mother and she said he had went down.â&#x20AC;? Estel was captured as a prisoner of war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A service man canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write to a prisoner of war, so I would send his mother a mail and she would send him some mail about me and that was the only way (I knew his whereabouts),â&#x20AC;?

Harrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got second-hand information, and they kept moving him around to different prisoner of war camps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So every time (Estelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother) would send me a different address, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take it down to headquarters and they had a big map on the wall of all the prisoner of war camps and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d show me where he was over there.â&#x20AC;? For the remainder of the war, 14 months, Estel was captive in an enemy camp, according to Harrell. After returning home, the two friends shared their stories only to learn Harrell had once flown over Estelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camp during Harrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late in missions, maybe the 28th or 29th mission, way over on the other side of Germany â&#x20AC;Ś and when we got home, he was telling me about his time as a prisoner of war and he was telling me about air planes that flew over his camp,â&#x20AC;? Harrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was us because we were the only ones that went over that day. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it, but he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well we went down to the barracks

and we were waving at you and everything.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said that every time they heard an airplane, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d try to take off and get out there, but they very seldom heard one that close.â&#x20AC;? After liberation, Estel was later awarded the Air Medal, Purple Heart and the Good Conduct Medal. Returning home Harrell returned to the United States in 1943 and continued in the service until 1945, nearly three years after he enlisted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was training to be a pilot,â&#x20AC;? Harrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I flew eight hours with an instructor for eight hours and then I flew between 25 and 30 hours on my own, and then the war was over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had enough points that I could get out and I just decided I better get out.â&#x20AC;? On March 1, 1946, he married Marivonne Sanders, who he had written V-mail letters to during the war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had just graduated and then I met her,â&#x20AC;? Harrell recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was in high school, a cheerleader over in Marion and I was a year and a half older

than her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we got married when I got back from the service.â&#x20AC;? Together the couple had three children, Timothy, Cynthia and Anita Marie, named after Harrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bomber plane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get a choice

when I was born,â&#x20AC;? daughter Anita Smith joked. Today, Harrell, 93, speaks freely of his time over seas, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy to open up about the war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share some stuff with us for years,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Harrell added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just too recent.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to think that for 30 missions not knowing if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come back or not and

how scary that had to be for them as well as the people at home, his parents and my mom,â&#x20AC;? Smith continued.

HEIFER LIVING GIFT MARKET: Celebrate the True Meaning of Christmas at Heifer International’s 29th Living Gift Market. The annual Living Gift Market for Heifer International will be held on Saturday, Nov 12 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Timbercrest. The Living Gift Market has raised over $495,000 in North Manchester since 1987 so help us reach $500,000 this year. “Passing on the gift” is

fundamental to Heifer’s entire approach. It means recipients agree to share the offspring of gift animals with others in need, making them equal partners with Heifer in the fight to end world hunger. Ending Hunger And Poverty: The group work starts with donors. It ends in a world without hunger & poverty. Nearly 870 Million people around the world don’t have enough food to eat. The Heifer Way: The group believes all people deserve dignity, opportunity, and a future free from hunger. Members believe they provide the tools of transformation to bring about that opportunity. They believe one cow can transform a life. But they know one animal alone doesn’t lead to sustainable change. Sponsoring Churches & Businesses: Timbercrest, Eel River Community Church of the Brethren, Manchester Church of the Brethren, United Methodist Church, Liberty Mills Church of the Brethren and Silver Creek Printing.

Their living room has been taken over by the irritable Sheridan Whiteside, who after dining with the family, slipped on their doorstep and broke his hip. His presence in their home creates unending chaos, as he invites ex-convicts to the house for meals, racks up the phone bill by making transatlantic calls, and con-

stantly receives strange gifts from friends all over the world. It is only after a failed attempt to sabotage his secretary’s hopes to marry a local newspaper reporter that Whiteside finally leaves the Stanley’s home. Unfortunately, his exit is short lived. Showtimes will be 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and a 1 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Tickets will be $4 available at the door.

The 8th regiment was first organized in Indianapolis in April 1861 for three months service. The enlisted men of the Companies of this regiment were from the counties of: Wayne, Grant, Randolph, Delaware, Madison, Henry and Hancock. The Wabash County enlisted men formed Company “K”. These men left Indiana on June 19, 1861 for Clarksburg, W .Va., then on to Buckhannon, W.Va. The regiment participated in the battle of Rich Mountain, W.Va., and then into camp at Beverly, W.Va. They mustered out at Indianapolis Aug. 2, 1861. The original count of enlisted men was at 784. They lost seven by death. 15 deserted the regiment and they had one that was unaccounted for. Once these men were mustered out in Indianapolis the regiment reorganized and mustered in on Sept. 10, 1861. They were assigned to several brigades that moved thru out the states. On Dec 17, 1861, they assisted in capturing 1,300 of the enemy in Warrensburg, Mo. Then after traveling over the state and joining forces with other brigades they proceed-

ed to the siege of Vicksburg, Miss. They moved on to Mustang Island, Texas, then moved to Indianola, Texas, where 417 out of 515 reenlisted veterans were furloughed home in April 1864. The balance of enlisted men returned to New Orleans, La., then ordered to Washington, DC. They were then assigned to the 19th Corps and participated in the Shenandoah Valley campaign. They left Virginia by steamer for Savannah, Ga, mustered out on Aug. 28, 1865. The original enrollment was 1046, they gained 190 recruits along the way, 46 joined then as reenlistments. Unassigned recruits of 17; 245 died during their service. 75 deserted the group and 47 were unaccounted for. The 18th Indiana Infantry in the Civil War was composed mainly of enlisted men from the counties of Dearborn, Lawrence, Vermillion, Switzerland, Martin, Franklin, Washington, Johnson and Shelby. This regiment was organized at Indianapolis and was mustered in on Aug. 16, 1861 for three years, leaving for Missouri and Arkansas. While in Missouri they aided in the capture of a large

In the spring of 1863 they were transferred to Grant’s army ending up in Vicksburg, MS from May until its fall. In November they headed to Texas. They were engaged in Texas and re-enlisted in January of 1864 and some were furloughed home. The regiment was then ordered to Virginia in July.

The regiment was mustered out on August 28, 1865. The regiment’s original strength was 1056. They gained 140 recruits, 359 reenlistments. They lost 180 due to death and 53 d e s e r t i o n s .

I want to thank all those who gave blood (they are saving lives.), those who worked the drive, donated sandwiches and cookies, and the Urbana Lions Club for the use of the Community Building. It was a great day! Our next blood drive is Feb. 15, 2017.” MSD THANKSGIVING VACATION dates are Nov. 23, 24, and 25. School will resume on Nov. 28.

Thank you to all the volunteers who came to help us pass out chili and show the light of Christ to the more than 5,000 visitors! Austin and Sarah Carrothers and their children returned home to the United States from Malawi, Africa on Nov. 2. They will be home for three months. Chris and Pam Hann (and all of their family here) are thrilled to have them home for a visit. Please continue to keep this family lifted up in prayer as they do God’s work in Malawi. SILENT PURSE AUCTION: From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 13 the Yoke Parish Women’s Guild will be sponsoring a silent purse auction and baked potato bar for

$3 (with 6 toppings) in the St. Peter’s Church Parish Hall. Some of the purses are new and some are slightly used and some have “goodies” inside that can be shared with the men who attend. Everyone is invited to come for lunch and see if you can find one purse you can’t live without! PRAYER CONCERNS: John Eltzroth had surgery in Indianapolis on Nov. 3. Please continue to remember Herman Bozarth, Philip Weck (who is hopefully back in Marion Rehab when you read this), Nancy and Harold Christie, Janice and Dean Dawes, Carolyn Winegardner, Gladys Hall, Donna Russell, Jane Winebrenner, and Ardis Witkoske.

VIEWPOINT OUR VIEW

Rules apply to both print, Facebook

In recent days, The Paper of Wabash County’s Facebook page has been inundated with posts from an individual afraid to state his or her real name. We have repeatedly deleted this person’s posts, and have banned him -- or her -- in their attempts to post things under assumed, and obviously fictitious names. Just as we have rules with letters to the editor sent to The Paper of Wabash County, we also have rules to what we will or won’t allow to be placed in the comment section of our Facebook page. The first rule, is that if you are afraid to state your real name, we won’t allow your message -- good or bad -- to appear on our page. If you are afraid to state your real name -- as this individual in question is obviously afraid to do -- we put no credibiity in what you have to say. We also don’t allow comments to include libelous remarks about individuals or businesses, and we also don’t allow foul language to be placed on our page. Use explicit language on our page is a sure way to get your comments from being deleted. The Paper of Wabash County fully believes in free speech. However, we also believe that those who want to be heard, and who want to be taken seriously, should be brave enough to have their name associated with their comments, be it in print or on our social media page. Likewise, we also believe these discussions can take place civily, without the use of explicite language. For those who can’t follow those simple rules, we don’t want to hear from you, and will do our best to delete your comments and, if need by, ban you from using our sites. It’s not too much to ask in the fair exchange of ideas.

Comprehensive school counseling What Hoosier students need for their academic, social and long-term success A sophomore struggling academically thrives after being guided to a drafting course available at his school. Fifth graders throughout a district learn the connection between school and work through an annual BizTown event. And 21st Century Scholars attend an afterschool seminar where they get hands-on training in the Scholar Success Program. These are just some examples of school counselors helping students thrive. Yet many Indiana students are at a critical disadvantage— there is not enough counseling time to reach every student who needs it. The Center for Education Statistics ranked Indiana 42nd in the nation for having one counselor for every 541 students in 2013. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommends a 250:1 student-to-counselor ratio. But Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) data showed in September 2016 that for every 619 students, Indiana had just one licensed counselor. This is not just a state-level problem. In Wabash County, the data from IDOE shows there is one licensed counselor for every 431 students, with 12 licensed counselors between the county's three public school corporations. The Metropolitan School District of Wabash County Schools has a ratio of 542:1, Manchester Community Schools has a 397:1 ratio and Wabash City Schools has the county’s lowest ratio at 353:1. ASCA identifies three essential areas where counselors can support student success: academic performance, college and career preparation and social/emotional development. Many schools report success with their academic counseling efforts, which can cover traditional counseling activities such as course selection or study skills, but the highest need lies in the areas of college and career preparation and social/emotional issues.

For example, school counselors assist students with f a m i l y issues such as divorce and deaths of loved ones, managing emot i o n s , resolving conflict, learnTami Silverman and ing interGuest personal s k i l l s . Columnist Counselors help students with bullying, drug abuse and mental health issues in an era when nearly one in five Indiana high schools students have considered suicide — tied for the third highest rate in a national survey. Dr. Michele Moore, superintendent for the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, says the number of students needing assistance with social/emotional issues continues to increase. Her district’s eight licensed counselors are “putting out brush fires that have to be immediately taken care of." In recent years, counselors have seen more students dealing with parents who are incarcerated or addicted to heroin/opioids. It is easy to understand how student achievement and success can be sidetracked by these complicated issues. School counselors are uniquely trained and qualified to help students cope with these situations. School counselors know that student academic and social/emotional wellbeing are interconnected and critical to long-term achievement. Counselors play a key role in career development,

How to submit letters

Dear Editor: Over a month ago I wrote an arti-

Letter to the Editor cle to Viewpoint asking the question, “Where does the money paid by people in work release go?” I pointed out that statewide we are talking about millions of dollars. Those work release people are already paying their share for rehab centers and deserve credit for a job well done. Anyone in the know care to answer? – Bernie Dillard, Wabash

The editorial staff of The Paper invites readers to submit letters to the editor on timely issues. To ensure fairness to everyone, we have established the following guidelines: Mailed and faxed letters must be signed. All submissions, including by e-mail, must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. Letters in which the writer requests to be run anonymously will not appear in print. The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length, content and readability. Also, per the editor’s judgment, personal attacks, inflammatory statements and legally objectionable material will not be printed. The editor must also limit readers to submitting a maximum of two let-

helping students at every education level understand the link between school and work opportunities, while also guiding students toward college and career transitions. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development reports that Indiana will need to fill one million jobs by 2025. Mark Friedmeyer, president of the Indiana School Counselors Association, says counselors need to start the career readiness process at the elementary and middle school levels. “If they wait until they get to high school to learn about that then that may be too late,” he says. A comprehensive counseling approach provides adequate time for counselors to address all three critical areas with all of the students they serve. Recognizing the increasingly complex challenges schools and students face, a groundbreaking new effort from Lilly Endowment Inc. will address the academic, college and career, and social-emotional needs of students. Through grants to public school districts and charter schools, the Endowment’s new five-year, $30 million initiative will help schools better meet students’ needs for comprehensive school counseling. This grant is both an exceptional opportunity and a sizeable challenge. That’s why the Indiana Youth Institute was asked to assist school districts with the planning, implementation, evaluation and sustainability of their initiatives. Information on available services can be found at www.iyi.org/counselinginitiative and by calling 855-244-7175. Once again, we are reminded that student well-being and achievement is a shared responsibility of schools, families and the community. Tami Silverman is the president and CEO of the Indiana Youth Institute. She may be reached at iyi@iyi.org or on Twitter at @Tami_IYI

Plymouth freshman Hannah Elliot and junior Emily Moore; Plymouth junior Elizabeth Gonzalez and Emmanuel senior Kennedy Rife and Jasmine Spencer of EmmWabash.

A balanced scoring attack, along with a 21-5 second quarter helped the Manchester Squire girls' basketball team cruise to a seasonopening win over Adams Central 51-20. Meanwhile, Wabash outscored Blackford 19-2 on Saturday to easily win, 61-35. Manchester wins Ten players scored for Manchester, which coach Jake Everett felt was the key to the win. "I love our balance. I really hope the girls continue to take that kind of approach, because we are a lot harder to defend when the other team doesn't know who to they have to key in on," Everett said. Both teams got out of the gate slowly with the score tied 4-4 with under three minutes left in the first quarter, but the Squires went on a 17-0 run over the next seven minutes to take control of the game. Manchester took a 31-9 halftime lead, then outscored the Jets 20-11 in the second half. "First games are always a little bit hectic at the beginning, especially if it's the first game for both teams," Everett said. "We were able to play through that and execute. Our girls did a great job of making sure they played through that tonight." The Squires were led in scoring by Cierra Carter and Sydney Day

with 10 points each. Erika Kendall had nine points, and Bailey Sewell added six. The JV team also got its season off to a strong start with a 25-5 win over Adams Central. Manchester led 15-3 at halftime and allowed just two baskets on the night. Mackenzie Day, Bailey Mooney, Kyrsten Eakright, and Kennidy Lauer each had four points to lead the Squires. Manchester will host Warsaw on Wednesday night and will travel to Bluffton on Saturday. Lady Apax prevail Bailey Yoakum scored 22 points and Jaycee Parrett added 18 as the Lady Apaches picked up a win in its season opener. Wabash pulled out to a 12-9 lead after one quarter and build a 31-17 lead at halftime. Blackford attempted a comeback in the third, outscoring Wabash 1611. But the Lady Apaches dominated the final quarter to easily ice the win. Wabash had 35 rebounds in the game. Parrett led the Lady Apaches with 10, while Tabatha Wagner and Carmen Higdon each had six. Higdon, in her first varsity game, scored eight points for Wabash, while Tabatha Wagnr and her sister, Sabrina Wagner, each had four points. Tristan Vigar had three ponits and Abby Vinopal had two.

YOUR WEEKLY ISAAC-ISM: “you know, good habits in life usually results in a good quality of life. The best tennis players separate themselves from the rest not soley because of talent, but because they have habits that lead to their success.” The #1 habit for success is so over looked by, or not explored by many players. I call it “connecting with the why”. Simply stated, before embarking on a journey for success in tennis, a player must understand and answer the following: why play tennis? for myself, for my parents, for the money, glory, rankings, etc. Intrinsic reasons which are internal to the person are the motives that drive

people to succeed at the highest levels. Love of the game, wanting to see how good you can be; are intrinsic motives. Extrinsic motives are secondary, such as winning tournaments and higher rankings. But they aren’t the internal reasons for playing. The reason why you do anything is the fundamental question, and the answer creates the lens through which you see yourself and in this example your tennis. The motivation to chase greatness is only going to last if the reasons for playing inspire the player. Think about why you play tennis, or for that matter, why you do anything. List the reasons and rank them in weight of importance. The motives for doing anything in life are at the core of your mindset, goals and how you will deal with winning and losing. The motives determine if you can focus on getting better and the process.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe and enjoyable week!

The program will be held in the Assembly Room at T i m b e r c r e s t

Retirement Center, 2201 East Street, at 6:40 p.m. The program is open to the public at no cost. Comstock was a commanding figure. He bought land in Liberty Mills in 1836, and built a saw mill, grist mill, distillery, general store, and carding mill. He was elected Probate Judge of Wabash County and Representative to the State Legislature. For many years,

Liberty Mills and North Manchester were rivals for prominence in the area. Jones taught for 38 years, most of that time teaching American History, English and journalism at Manchester High School. He retired in 1999. He served on the board of the Wabash County Library for 25 years. Currently on the board of the Wabash County Historical

It means recipients agree to share the offspring of gift animals with others in need, making them equal partners with Heifer in the fight to end world hunger. The group’s work starts with donors. It

Southwood High School’s fall play, “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” will take to the stage on Nov. 12-13. The comedy, written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, is set at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley. Their living room has been taken over by the irritable Sheridan Whiteside, who after dining with the family, slipped on their doorstep and broke his hip. His presence in their home creates unending chaos, as he invites ex-convicts to the house for meals, racks up the phone bill by making trans-Atlantic calls, and constantly receives strange gifts from friends all over the world. It is only after a failed attempt to sabotage his secretary’s hopes to marry a local newspaper reporter that Whiteside finally leaves the Stanley’s h o m e . Unfortunately, his exit is short lived.

Chili for Charity donates $43,300 to 11 Wabash County causes By Emma Rausch emma@thepaperofwabash.com

The Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity reinvested more than $43,000 into Wabash County Wednesday night, Nov. 2, after donating the funds to 11 local charitable organizations at its annual check presentation. Since 2002, the Chili for Charity committee has donated more than $430,000 to local charitable organizations that serve Wabash County residents. This year, the committee added $43,300 to that number. “We’re also going to hit next year, I believe, we’re going to hit next year $500,000,” Committee member Wade Weaver said. “We’re going to

hit over a half a million dollars next year because of this project.” Each year, the committee raises the funds through two main events, the Chili Bowl and the Chili Cook-Off. The Wabash County United Fund also contributes $10,000 to the cause, according to Weaver. Since the committee’s inception, the local cook-off has earned the title of the largest chili cook-off east of the Mississippi River. On Oct. 15, more than 80 chili teams participated in the 14th annual Chili Cook Off and fed more than 5,000 visitors at Paradise Spring Historical Park. Every person in attendance played a part in Wednesday’s

Article provided INDIANAPOLIS— The upcoming winter months in Indiana bring unique hazards to Hoosiers with asthma. Colder temperatures can trigger an asthma attack in some people, and indoor conditions can also put people at risk. The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) urges people with asthma who are sensitive to cold to cover their mouth and nose when they go out in cold and windy weather. People with asthma should also be aware of indoor triggers, such as smoke from fireplaces and wood-burning stoves. All Hoosiers with asthma should get a flu vaccine to help protect against the respiratory virus, which can cause severe illness in individuals with asthma. Managing your asthma by using prescribed medications as directed by your healthcare provider can help you breathe easier during colder months. “Having asthma myself, I know how it can be a very serious

condition, especially in colder conditions,” said State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams, M.D., M.P.H. “Planning now, getting a flu shot and being aware of potential triggers will put Hoosiers with asthma on a path to a healthier winter.” According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs that affects more than 17.7 million adults and more than 7.4 million children in the United States. Though people with asthma are not more likely to get the flu (influenza), the illness can be more serious for people with asthma. Adults and children with asthma are more likely to develop pneumonia after the flu than people who don’t have asthma. During the 2015 flu season, only 48 percent of Indiana adults with asthma got a flu vaccination, according to Indiana State Department of Health data. The Healthy People 2020 plan for flu vaccination recommends coverage of 80 percent for children ages 6 months to 17 years, and 90 percent coverage for adults with asthma. Uncontrolled asthma can cause wheezing, breathlessness,

chest tightness and morning or nighttime cough. Exposure to tobacco smoke, air pollution, pet dander or dust mites can trigger an asthma attack, causing the sides of the lungs to swell and airways to shrink, reducing one’s ability to breathe. An estimated 429,000 Indiana adults and 108,000 children report having asthma. According to the CDC, children are most susceptible to asthma, and one in 11 schoolage children in Indiana has the disease. Asthma claims the life of one person every five days in Indiana; 59 percent of those deaths occur among people age 64 and younger. To avoid getting the flu and passing it to someone else, the CDC recommends that you stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care, and stay away from other people who are sick. Also, follow these tips to prevent the flu: Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing and throw the tissue away. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not your bare hands. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after

coughing or sneezing. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth so you don’t spread germs. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill. If you do have flu symptoms, call your doctor, who might recommend flu antiviral medication. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices says nasal spray flu vaccines should not be used during the 2016-2017 flu season because of poor effectiveness. If you have asthma, make sure you work with your healthcare provider to update your asthma action plan. It is especially important during the flu season to: Follow the updated asthma action plan developed with your doctor. Follow this plan for daily treatment to control asthma longterm and to handle worsening asthma, or attacks. If your child has asthma, make sure that his or her current written asthma action plan is on file at school or at the daycare center. Be sure that the plan and medication(s) are easy to get to when needed.

Departments to increase traffic patrols Nov. 11-Dec. 4 By The Paper staff The Wabash Police Department and the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department are boosting patrols from Nov. 11, 2016 through Dec. 4, 2016. The two departments are again participating in the statewide enforcement encouraging drivers and passengers to drive sober and buckle up for safety. Officers will join more than 250 state and local law enforcement agencies, to conduct highvisibility patrols encouraging drivers and passengers to drive sober, and buckle up for safety. Thanksgiving is a major travel time each year and it’s important police keep Indiana roadways safe. “With Thanksgiving Nicholas A. Blackburn, 38, Marion, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, hash oil, hashish or salvia and possession of paraphernalia. Philip C.

being a major travel time each year, it’s important we stay vigilante in keeping Indiana’s roadways safe for drivers and their passengers.” said Sergeant Dan Johnson. “That’s why it’s so important for those behind the wheel and riders alike to buckle up and drive sober. It’s also important to watch out for your fellow travelers, and if you see something unsafe on the roads, don’t hesitate to call 911 and report it. This will help officers observe the activity of the driver and take necessary action to prevent a possible tragedy.” Sgt. Chad Galligan states, if you see something unsafe on the roads, don’t hesitate to call 911 and report it. Increased enforcement during the

Thanksgiving holiday period is an annual statewide effort supported by federal funding allocated to Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department from the Traffic Safety division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI). According to ICJI, in November 2015, there were 533 alcohol-related crashes across Indiana, resulting in 220 injuries and seven f a t a l i t i e s . Additionally, in the same month, crash reports indicate 285 accidents involved a driver or a passenger unrestrained, resulting in 302 injuries and 16 fatalities. Further, vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for kids between the ages of 8 and 15. For families with young children, it’s important to

have a properly installed child safety seat or booster seat for each child. Parents can visit www.childseat.in.gov for a list of locations and a toll-free phone number to speak with experts about the proper installation of child safety seats. “Through statistics we know firsthand buckling up, staying sober behind the wheel, and not texting and driving not only protects those traveling with you, but also those with whom you are sharing the road,” said ICJI Director Dave Murtaugh. “That’s why it’s vital we work together, from officers patrolling our streets, to drivers making safe and responsible choices, in an effort to make our roadways the safest in the country.”

Loos, Petersons to headline INFB convention By The Paper staff FORT WAYNE — Farm advocate Trent Loos and YouTube sensations the Peterson Farm Brothers will entertain and engage members during Indiana Farm Bureau’s state convention, Dec. 8-10 at the Grand Wayne Convention Center in Fort Wayne. “Trent Loos and the Petersons are great examples of people who demonstrate our theme, ‘Find Your Voice,’” said Chris

Fenner, INFB operations and event manager. “Trent produces radio programs for farm and rural listeners, and the Petersons reach farmers and non-farmers with their fun, informative social media efforts.” A sixth-generation farmer who currently lives in Nebraska, Loos is the creator of “Loos Tales,” a radio show that reaches three million listeners on 100 stations in 19 states. “Loos Tales” is also the name of a column he writes for The High Plains Journal and other publica-

tions. Loos’ presentation is during the 1 p.m. general session on Friday, Dec. 9. That session also features awards for members and county Farm Bureaus. The Peterson Farm Brothers are three brothers from Kansas who parody popular songs to talk about life on the farm. Several of their videos have millions of views on YouTube. The Petersons will entertain and speak during the general session on Saturday, Dec. 10, and provide a breakout session during the 9

a.m. slot that day. Each county Farm Bureau will send representatives to the business meeting on Dec. 10, where they will elect Indiana Farm Bureau’s vice president for the next three years. The delegates also may discuss policy issues that have arisen since the main policy-setting delegate session in August. Other convention highlights: The meeting officially kicks off with a Monte Carlo Night, expo (formerly known as the trade show) and silent auction preview

on Thursday, Dec. 8. Breakout sessions will take place on Dec. 9 from 10-11 a.m. and 45 p.m., and on Dec. 10, from 9-10 a.m. Topics include the coming farm bill, changing dynamics of production farming, farm data concerns and the 2017 legislative session, among others. A Private Applicator Recertification Program session will be offered on Dec. 9 at 9 a.m. An extended breakout on estate planning will run from 3-5 p.m. on Dec. 9. An Indiana wine

and cheese reception runs 5-6 p.m. on Dec. 9. INFB President Randy Kron will give his first president’s address during the general session on Dec. 9 at 6 p.m. The finals for the Discussion Meet and recognition for the Hovde Award, Farm Family of the Year and Rural Teacher of the Year also take place during that session. The convention sessions are free and open to anyone; there is a cost for meals, which must be purchased through the

online registration system. Registration, articles on specific convention activities, the convention app and a complete schedule are available on the convention webs i t e , www.infb.org/convention. Indiana Farm Bureau is the state’s largest farm organization, with more than 73,000 farmer members and 185,000 associate members.

USDA invests $1.7 Billion in CRP program From the USDA USDA is issuing nearly $1.7 billion in payments to more than half of a million Americans who have contracts with the government to protect sensitive agricultural lands. The investment, part of the voluntary USDA Conservation Reserve

Program (CRP), will allow producers to protect almost 24 million acres of wetlands, grasslands and wildlife habitat in 2016. CRP provides financial assistance to farmers who remove environmentally sensitive land from production to be planted with certain grasses, shrubs and trees that improve

water quality, prevent soil erosion, and increase wildlife habitat. In return for enrolling in CRP, USDA, through the Farm Service Agency (FSA), provides participants with rental payments and cost-share a s s i s t a n c e . Landowners enter into contracts that last between 10 and 15

years. More than 1.3 million acres were newly enrolled in CRP in fiscal year 2016 using the continuous enrollment authority, double the pace of the previous year. In fiscal year 2016, FSA also accepted 411,000 acres through its general enrollment authority, plus 101,000 acres in

the new CRPGrasslands program, which balances conservation with working lands. More than 70 percent of the acres enrolled in CRPGrasslands are diverse native grasslands under threat of conversion, with more than 97 percent of the acres having a new, veteran or underserved

farmer as a primary producer. CRP has sequestered an annual average of 49 million tons of greenhouse gases, equal to taking nine million cars off the road, and prevented nine billion tons of soil from erosion, enough to fill 600 million dump trucks. For more informa-

tion about CRP, contact your local FSA office or online at www.fsa.usda.gov/c rp. Visit www.fsa.usda.gov/crpi s30 or follow Twitter at #CRPis30 for program anniversary background and success stories. To locate your local FSA office, visit http://offices.usda.gov.

USDA issues safety-net payments to Hoosier farmers From the USDA

In Indiana, 103,632 farms enrolled in either the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) or Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs will receive over $514 million in

safety-net payments due to market downturns during the 2015 crop year. These payments will help provide reassurance to America’s farm families, who are standing strong against low commodi-

ty prices compounded by unfavorable growing conditions in many parts of the country. Unlike the old direct payment program, which issued payments during both weak and strong mar-

ket conditions, the 2014 Farm Bill authorized the ARC-PLC safety net to trigger and provide financial assistance only when decreases in revenues or crop prices, respectively, occur. The ARC and PLC programs

primarily allow producers to continue to produce for the market by making payments on a percentage of historical base production, limiting the impact on production decisions. The Budget Control

Act of 2011, passed by Congress, requires USDA to reduce 2015 ARC and PLC payments by 6.8 percent. More details on the price and yield information used to calculate the financing assistance from the

safety-net programs is available on the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/arc -plc and www.fsa.usda.gov/in, or contact your local FSA office.
