Rain slows planting season By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Farmers in this area normally start getting into fields to plant their crops in the middle of April to late April. But, due to the copious amounts of rain that has fallen in North Central Indiana this spring, farmers have been able to do only a minute amount of planting so far this season. “They’ve planted up around the Eel River where we have some sandy ground,” said Curt Campbell, Wabash County Purdue Extension

City Schools has hearing on building projects By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Schools held a public preliminary determination hearing Monday night to unveil its plan for building projects that it plans to undertake in the near future. Superintendent Jason Callahan explained that there were three total projects, including an expansion of the L.H. Carpenter Center, a high school-middle school connection project which will include upgrades to Coolman Gymnasium and Alumni Field, as well as maintenance projects throughout the district. Brian Bolander of Barton Coe Vilamaa was on hand to explain the projects. At L.H. Carpenter, the plan calls for the addition of restrooms, the opening of the second deck of the multi-purpose room, the relocation of the main office, the addition of eight classrooms which will allow the district to shift its kindergarten classes over to the center, and the addition of some parking. The hope is that by winter of 2019, the bids for construction on the L.H. Carpenter project will be awarded, with a breaking ground date in the

educator. “I’m guessing, less than 5 percent of the ground has been planted. We normally, by this time of the year, are wrapping things up for corn.” Campbell can’t remember a season this severe in terms of weather dictating how late farmers can get into the fields. “We’ve just never had a year like this before,” he said. “So, what are we going to do?” Most farmers need about 10 days of good planting time to get their crops in the ground. If it were to stop raining now,

farmers could still get planting done before repercussions set in. “But, we’re losing yield every day from this point on,” Campbell said. “There used to be a saying that after May 15, you would lose a bushel an acre for every day later you plant. I’m not so sure any more with the new hybrids if that’s absolutely the case.” Soybeans are affected more by later planting dates because they don’t grow as many nodules, so the older they are, the more pods the plants will have on it, causing a higher yield. Planting date affects crop yield

because famers have less growing time. The crops don’t mature in time for the end of the season. Plants can pick up growing degree days when it’s really warm, but there’s no guarantee that it will get really warm and stay really warm. Farmers normally like to go with hydrids that have 110 to 112, full-season growth day time. Now, since they are going to be planting later, they may have to switch to some earlier maturing crops.

Play ball! Roann Little League seeing many changes By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

ROANN – A new sign. A new press box. A new flag pole. New equipment for the kids and the field. Those are just a few of the changes the Roann Little League has seen over the last two years under the tutelage of commissioner Chandler Jones. Jones took over the post last season, largely at the urging of his brother, Stuart. He was no stranger to the league, having umpired for the organization for a couple of years. “Last year the people running it moved,” he said. “My brother called and said, ‘I think you should put your name in to do this.’” His brother urged Jones to discuss the matter with his wife, Amanda. He didn’t listen. “The first thing I told my wife is we’re going to do this,” Jones said, noting that she “looked at me like I was nuts.” But, he said, he had something in mind when taking over. “I wanted to put the culture of baseball back out on the baseball field,” Jones said. “We need to have the culture of baseball back out here. “We’re not here to compete against Wabash. I will never say anything bad about Wabash. I played there growing up. But I also know it’s a little more competitive, a little more (continued on page 4) serious, and sometimes people just don’t want that. “I don’t do politics and I don’t do drama. We’re just out here to play ball.” The league ranges in age from youngsters Manchester High School, 7:30 between 3 and 12 years of age.

Manchester FFA fares well at nationals By Eric Christiansen echristiansen@nmpaper.com

The Manchester FFA sent a team of four students to compete in the National Land and Range Judging contest near Oklahoma City, Okla., from April 30 to May 2.

Justus Metzger, Skyler Michel, Guy Stephan and Sheila Winger all took the trip with FFA Chapter advisor Gwen Mize. The team was also assisted in practices by retired teacher Glen Jones. The team placed fifth in the homesite contest and 10th in the land competition.

Individually, Michel led the team in both contests placing fourth in homesite and fifth in the land contest. In addition to the competition, the students made several side trips that included the St. Louis Arch, Express Ranches, The Friends Kickapoo Mission, The

Oklahoma National Stock Yards, and the Oklahoma City Bombing Site Memorial. While the competition was the reason for the trip, the Manchester students involved talked mainly about the overall experience with many different parts of the trip affecting them in

that.” Stephan added, “There is nothing I would change. One of the practice days, I’ve never seen it rain so hard. We were in a brushy area, and it just started to downpour. I wouldn’t change it. I wouldn’t hope to change it … that just added to the memories. Looking back at it now, it was funny, but then, it was awful.” Along with the fun was also the work, which in turn, was also fun for the students.

“It was fun to be able to get out there and see some different soils and learn how to shoot slope in a completely different way,” Metzger said. “The contest itself was really neat and well put together. It was a really good experience, something we’ll never forget.” Winger said she was really impressed with the spectacle of so many aspects of their experience, including a visit to an Express Ranch.

City Schools hearing spring of 2020. The plan for the high school and middle school is to connect the two buildings

with a construction project. That will require the creation of a hallway, or corridor, to

connect the two, and the reconstruction of some restrooms. It will allow safe inside passage by students and personnel from one building to another. At Coolman Gym, the addition of locker rooms and a second balcony deck will mirror what’s already on

...continued from Page 1 the other side of the gymnasium. In addition, the district plans to install turf at Alumni Field, expand the track and field facility to eight lanes, reconstruct the bleachers and make both the bleachers and restroom facilities ADA compliant. The district hopes

to award bids for that project in the winter of 2019, with a spring 2020 date targeted for ground breaking. Bids for maintenance projects such as asphalt resurfacing, tuck pointing and roof work are also going out. Jim Elisando of Stifel was on hand to

because it just doesn’t have as many days to produce a crop,” Campbell said. “I think we’re going to have some that’s not going to be planted at all.” Most farmers have

crop insurance. With the way federal crop insurance works, if farmers haven’t been able to get a crop planted by June 6, then they can go ahead and take the insurance payment to

talk about the financial aspects of the projects. The high schoolmiddle school project would have hard and soft construction costs of $9.78 million, with an issuance of bond cost of $120,000, meaning the total project would run

about $9.9 million. The L.H. Carpenter project would carry a $7.5 million cost for construction, an issuance of bond cost of $99,000, and a capitalized interest amount of $146,000, giving that project a (continued on page 5)

...continued from Page 1 try to keep from losing too much money. “I don’t think that payment is going to make you break even, but at least it’s going to help,” Campbell said. “Some farmers are going to do that.

They’re going to say ‘I’m not going to be able to get this planted, I’m just going to go ahead and take the insurance.’ Three years ago, we had several around the Lincolnville area do that. It was really wet and we had farmers who weren’t able to get anything planted. So they did the payment.” The way it’s looking now, Campbell said he’s not sure that farmers will be able to get into fields before June 1. That’s judging from the forecast and how wet it is currently. “One thing I can see farmers doing is going in and planting around the wet spots, and come back later if it ever would dry out,” Campbell said. “I can see guys getting out too soon, which is not a good practice. You put it in when it’s wet, and you’re going to compact the soil, and that’s going to cause you problems later on. “I hate to sound all doom and gloom, but that’s where we’re at right now. And it’s not just us – the entire Corn Belt has the same problem.”

Play ball! “Instead of playing each one over and over, we put together a 14-game schedule with eight teams,” Jones said. “It’s a little more baseball.” The league is not associated with the Little League based in Williamsport, Pa. Rather, it is considered a Town and Country league. “There are no Major League scouts out here, no colleges out here, no high school coaches out here staring at them going, ‘Oh, I just can’t wait,’” Jones said. “You’re just here to learn the basics of baseball out here. Someone else will start molding you at the next level.” After taking over, Jones began having to rebuild the league as far as the equipment and playing field go. “The equipment was terrible,” he said. “It was unsafe. The stuff was so outdated it’s just ridiculous.” Through donations and funds raised through team sponsorships, Jones was able to buy $1,300 worth of equipment from Dunham’s. The bill was much less, thanks in part to discounts the company provided the league. The Roann Town Board allocated $1,500 to the league last year. That money was used for 21 tons of dirt which was used to upgrade the field. Another $1,500 this year was used for more dirt. The town also donated a 30-foot flag pole this year; however, spring rains have made the ground too wet to install the pole. A friend donated $2,000 to be used to

...continued from Page 1

build a new press box, and a PA system was donated to the league by the Olive Branch Church of God. This year, the league also has a new barn to house among other things its newto-it riding lawnmower. It also received new foul poles, and Jones received permission from the Town Board to rename the field Indians Field, paying homage to the former Roann school mascot. (The field is located next to where the former Roann school stood.) Improvements aren’t done. Jones has a five-year plan that includes, among other things, new batting cages and new seating. Jones’ wife was hesitant of him taking over the league, fearing it would take away from time the two spend with their three children, Kiana, 13; Raegan, 11; and Barrett, 6. That hasn’t happened. Rather, it’s been a family affair. Amanda Jones runs the concession stand, while the couple’s two daughters keep score and are announcers, and Barrett plays in the league. While all the changes and improvements have been made under Jones’ guidance, he is quick to deflect any credit heaped upon him. “People thank you, and that’s great,” he said. “But I’m very humble with this because this isn’t a me thing. It’s a we thing. I tell all the parents this is a we thing. This is your little league. What can we do to make it better?

“This was never an I thing. People ask why don’t you take more credit. That’s not what I want. I want this to be a we thing. I want the parents and the kids and the (town) board and the town to enjoy this little league. “I’m just extremely grateful to have a town that wants everything to look good and is willing to help out with that. I’m blessed to have parents that are willing to help out with all the little things and big things that go into getting a season to run smooth. It’s just been a lot of fun creating our own brand In Roann. “Yes, we’re small time. Yes, the talent pool may be a small one out here. But, by God, we have quality baseball and we have a lot of fun doing it. It’s just fun watching the kids.”

City Schools board total cost of around $7.745 million. Maintenance projects would total a cost of $875,000. Elisando pointed

out that none of the projects would create an increase to the debt service tax rate due to old debt rolling off as the repayment

of bonds happened. Graphs displayed at Monday night’s meeting had the debt for the projects being paid off by 2040.

The meeting was supposed to be a public hearing, but the district received no public input from those in attendance.

with and competing against other local school such as North Miami, Tippecanoe Valley, Rochester, and Southern Wells. “We made some friends from other schools,” Michel said. “We new their names, but we made friends we will never forget.” “We were lucky to have other schools who had been there before and helped us,” Stephan added. “Even though we were competing, we were from

the same state. We wanted everyone to do well. We cheered for each other.” “At the banquet, when anyone from Indiana was [mentioned], we were standing up and cheering.” As all four Manchester competitors discussed their experience to and in Oklahoma, one thing was said by each: “This was an experience we will never forget.”

An ongoing look at Wabash County 4-H 10-year members

4-H Grows...

Jessie Bunnell School: Southwood Parents: Barrie & Teresa Bunnell Future Plans: Attend Purdue University Fort Wayne to pursue a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology 4-H Club: Future Farmers Favorite 4-H Projects: Photography and Vet Science 4-H Grows Character: “During the time that I have been in 4-H, I have learned many life skills that are leading me to success,” says Jessie. One of Jessie’s favorite projects, photography, is an example of how participating in 4-H helped her develop strength of character: “I decided to take part in photography as I enjoy capturing the beautiful moments of life and nature. When completing activities, I learned how much a different perspective can change the dynamic of a photo. By applying this same concept to life, I learned to look at life in a different perspective and see the countless outcomes that are possible.” Jessie also enjoyed learning alongside veterinarians and developing her animal care skills from her experiences in the 4-H Vet Science Club during her ten years in Wabash County 4-H.

Hunter Miller School: Manchester Parents: Heath & Jennifer Miller Future Plans: Currently employed at IMD Orthopedics in Warsaw 4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves Favorite 4-H Projects: Photography, Poultry, Swine, and Woodworking 4-H Grows Critical Thinking: “I’m so grateful for 4-H and the skills I have been able to learn,” says Hunter. “4-H has taught me so much that I can apply in my life.” Hunter identified critical thinking as an important skill he developed during his 4-H membership. “4-H taught me how to be a great critical thinker by allowing me to create solutions for problems when they arise. I can recall times while working on my woodworking projects that I ran into a slight problem. But because of 4-H teaching me critical thinking skills, I was able to resolve the problem,” Hunter explains. “I know I can apply this skill no matter what I decide to do.” In reflecting back on his time in 4-H, Hunter shared one of his favorite memories from the fair: “Three years ago during the fair I finally got up enough courage to talk to my now high school sweetheart, Emily Rose.”

Grant Strobel School: Manchester Parents: Dave & Shelly Strobel Future Plans: Attend Ivy Tech Fort Wayne to play baseball and complete general studies credits before pursuing a career as a speech therapist 4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves Favorite 4-H Projects: Arts & Crafts 4-H Grows Time Management: For Grant, developing time management skills in 4H helped him learn to balance sports with other responsibilities. “I had to learn important time management skills in 4-H because not only did I participate in numerous projects, but I also played travel baseball all summer long,” Grant explains. “With the two often overlapping, I needed to develop good time management skills to make sure I completed all my projects and still had time to condition, workout, and play the sport that I love.” Grant’s ability to balance his sports schedule with his other responsibilities will serve him well when he starts at Ivy Tech in the fall. One of Grant’s favorite memories from his time in 4H is having water fights in the barns with his friends after all the shows were over.

Quotations help us remember the simple yet profound truths that give life perspective and meaning. Possibly, you may have found yourself quoting some of the words I have written in this column, that is a nice thought for me. In sports, I remember this one: ‘you have to love winning and hate losing’. Yes, that is a good quote, but there is so much more in between that concept. I think I always hated losing a little more than I loved winning. But both taught me many life lessons. Perseverance, courage, humility, forgiveness and honesty are timeless themes. Just like in life and sports, when you lose your confidence everything else seems to go. So if life throws you a curve ball, hit it!” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

The electricity has been installed and railroad ties were placed around the caboose to hold the landscape stones in place. A set of steps were made with the railroad ties. A coat of tar was put on the roof to fix the leaks, and the inside has been torn out and is now ready for reconstruction. On May 20, the gentleman from Ohio will be here to place the decals (similar to the original) on the outside of the caboose at the top. We would like to thank Danny Shoemaker and his mother Mary who helped with rack-

ing near the caboose area. With all the work that has been done on the caboose, there has been very little cost since so many generous people and companies have donated time and materials needed. The grants the Lions Club has received also has paid for some of the expenses. Harman reported that the Roann Festival fundraiser was a huge success. The festival does not have the bill from Richvalley yet so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a complete report yet. She also reported that the Community Calendar has been emailed to the company. Club officials would like to thank everyone who sponsored the calendar with buying ads. The calendars will be here in a couple weeks so we will be making deliveries.

Curt’s Barber Shop welcomes new barber

Wabash has a new barber, but she’s not all that new to the area. Carrie Leach recently began cutting hair at Curt’s Barber Shop after several stops at other places. Leach was raised in Wabash, and got her licensing at Heartland Career Center.

She’s been cutting hair since 1997. Her mother and father were both school teachers here. “So, I know pretty much everybody,” Leach said. Leach got her start cutting hair in Fort Wayne at places like Great Clips and BoRics. “I’ve worked at Great Clips pretty much all over the state,” she said. “From here down to New Albany.

SQU I RREL CREEK

Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc. is introducing the “100 Good Men Campaign,” a community awareness initiative focused on the importance of healthy men in the lives of our children, families and communities. Research indicates that 24-million children nationwide are living in a father-less home and those children are four times more likely to live in poverty, drop out of high school and have a greater risk of substance abuse. Our goal with this campaign is to focus on the two thirds of homes with Men who consistently: Show Up in the lives of children Stand Up for what is right Speak Up when it matters m o s t . These good men are vital to Wabash County, where our children are living in an area where heroin/opioid use is at an all-time high and domestic violence continues to plague our families. “It is important for children to have an active positive male role model in their lives. These children are at less risk of psychological and behavioral problems.” says Lisa Dominisse, President/CEO. “When children have a father, uncle, grandfather, brother, cousin, teacher, pastor or other male role model that take an active interest in them it helps them feel special, learn unconditional love, respect and it can inspire kids for the rest of their lives.” According to fathers.com, if a child’s father is affectionate, supportive, and involved, he contributes greatly to a child’s cognitive, language, and social development, as well as aca-

Leach was working at Speedway, and a couple of the cleaning ladies that clean for Curt’s Barbershop had gotten to know her. They informed her that Curt needed someone to pass the barber shop down to in a couple of years.

Invasive carp still at Roush Lake From the DNR HUNTINGTON — A large die-off of invasive common carp at J.E. Roush Lake in J.E. Roush Lake Fish & Wildlife Area near Huntington in 2017 failed to reduce the

fish’s numbers, according to recent surveys of the lake. The die-off was triggered by the Koi herpesvirus (KHv), a contagious virus often found in carp, koi, and goldfish. The virus produces gill

lesions that eventually cause suffocation. DNR biologists were hoping the dieoff would reduce the number of common carp in the lake, but the aquatic invasive species is still the dominant fish in the

900-acre flood-control reservoir. Aquatic invasive species are plants, animals, and diseases that harm fish populations by competing with native species and changing aquatic habitats.

USDA reopens continuous CRP signup

WASHINGTON – USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will accept applications beginning June 3, 2019, for certain practices under the continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) signup and will offer extensions for expiring CRP contracts. The 2018 Farm Bill reauthorized CRP, one of the country’s largest conservation programs. “USDA offers a variety of conservation programs to farmers and ranchers, and the Conservation Reserve Program is an important tool for private

lands management,” said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce. “CRP allows agricultural producers to set aside land to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and boost soil health.” FSA stopped accepting applications last fall for the continuous CRP signup when 2014 Farm Bill authority expired. Since passage of the 2018 Farm Bill last December, Fordyce said FSA has carefully analyzed the language and determined that a limited signup prioritizing

water-quality practices furthers conservation goals and makes sense for producers as FSA works to fully implement the program. Continuous CRP Signup This year’s signup will include such practices as grassed waterways, filter strips, riparian buffers, wetland restoration and others. Continuous signup enrollment contracts are 10 to 15 years in duration. Soil rental rates will be set at 90 percent of the existing rates. Incentive

payments will not be offered for these contracts. Conservation R e s e r v e Enhancement Program Signup FSA will also reopen signup for existing Conservation R e s e r v e Enhancement Program (CREP) agreements. Other CRP Signup Options Fordyce said FSA plans to open a CRP general signup in December 2019 and a CRP Grasslands signup later. CRP Contract

Extensions A one-year extension will be offered to existing CRP participants who have expiring CRP contracts of 14 years or less. Producers eligible for an extension will receive a letter describing their options. Alternatively, producers with expiring contracts may have the option to enroll in the Transition Incentives Program, which provides two additional annual rental payments on the condition the land is sold or rented to a

beginning farmer or rancher or a member of a socially disadvantaged group. More Information On December 20, 2018, President Trump signed into law the 2018 Farm Bill, which provides support, certainty and stability to our nation’s farmers, ranchers and land stewards by enhancing farm support programs, improving crop insurance, maintaining disaster programs and promoting and supporting voluntary conservation. FSA is committed to

implementing these changes as quickly and effectively as possible, and today’s updates are part of meeting that goal. Producers interested in applying for continuous CRP practices, including those under existing CREP agreements, or who need an extension, should contact their USDA service center beginning June 3. To locate your local FSA office, visit w w w. f a r m e r s . g o v. More information on CRP can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/cr p.
