The search for oil in Wabash County continues

by Ashley Flynn When thinking of Wabash County, oil production does not usually come to mind, but there are currently over a dozen active oil well permits within the county and hundreds of expired, inactive or plugged and abandoned wells. According to the Wabash County Museum website, oil has been an important part of our economy since 1912 when the first well was drilled in the county on the Lucy Courter lease. An oil boom in 1939 led to 120 wells being drilled in the area yielding 800,000 barrels of oil. Oil is still extracted in the county today, but at a much slower rate, as much of the formations have already been drilled. Recently, Bay Geophysical, Inc., of Traverse City, Mich., was hired by an oil company to conduct a seismic survey to explore the possibility of oil and natural gas traps. Pink flags were positioned along several Wabash County roads to mark spots for carrying out seismic geological testing. Since drilling wells is a costly process, this testing is used to map out underground geology to construct a picture of the stability and conditions of the layers of rock. This helps companies determine whether or not oil or natural gas traps lie within the rock and avoid dry holes. While it is not necessary in Indiana to get a permit for seismic testing (legislation repealed the requirement about 10 years ago), companies are required to get a permit from the DNR Division of Oil and Gas to drill a well. Companies must determine a precise location and the type of servicing. If the well is productive, companies must report what method was used and how much oil was produced. As recently as July 2012, if hydraulic fracturing, a process that pushes thousands of gallons of water and chemicals into the ground to create manmade fractures to release gas or oil, is used, companies must submit a more detailed report, and unlike other types of wells, a report must be filed before they start the process. They must include the chemicals used as well as MSDS sheets on the chemical manufacturing plans for the wastewater, and how much water is

being used for the process. This type of drilling typically raises concern to local citizens because of the chemical make-up used, amount of water needed and wastewater created, but the DNR inspects the safety of the drilling before it is done. Although less than 30 percent of wells in Indiana use hydraulic fracturing, and no wells in Wabash County currently use the process, Herschel McDivitt, director of the DNR Oil and Gas Division told The Paper of Wabash it is always a possibility. “Most operators in Indiana don’t believe it’s necessary to increase productivity. They look to see if previous wells in the area used hydraulic fracturing, but if they haven’t it is not likely that future ones will either,” said McDivitt. Most hydraulic fracturing in Indiana occurs in the southern part of the state. When searching for drilling locations, companies often search oil and gas leases. When a company wants to search for oil on a property, they must obtain an oil and gas lease from the landowner. According to the DNR website, the lease is a legal contract that grants exploration and development rights to subsurface oil and gas deposits. When presented with a leasing opportunity, it is recommended that landowners consult a professional before agreeing to terms as there are risks and payouts involved. Just because someone enters a land agreement does not mean drilling will occur on the property. Landowners typically receive an upfront payment, annual rental payments and a percentage of the share in production. Although leases could lead to a decent payout, the DNR suggests other things to consider such as land disturbance. The DNR website states that leases terminate once, “the primary term expires or when economic production or shut-in royalty payments cease during the secondary term.” To learn more about oil production without Wabash County or oil and gas leases on your property, visit the DNR Division of Oil and Gas website.

OIL WELLS such as this one off of SR13 north of Wabash have been a fixture of the Wabash County Community since 1912. Recently, Bay Geophysical Inc., of Traverse City, Mich., was hired by an oil company to conduct a survey to detect the possibility of oil and natural gas reserves throughout the county.

Two Wabash men arrested in connection with stolen vehicles A joint investigation between the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and the Wabash Police Department resulted in the arrest of two Wabash County men for possession of stolen property. Huntington County had reported a vehicle theft in the early morning hours of April 4. Deputy Dustin Hurst located that vehicle in Lagro and initiated a traffic stop. The driver, Travis Willet, 18, Lagro, and passenger, Paulina Arney, 21, Wabash, were detained. Further investigation led to the recovery of another stolen vehicle by Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department’s Sgt. Tyler Guenin, Deputy Hurst and Wabash Police Officer Josh Prater in the same area.

This vehicle was reported stolen from Wabash. The driver of the second vehicle, Joshua Black, 21, Wabash, and a passenger, Britany Noland, 24, Wabash, were also detained. Further investigation by Wabash City Detective John Krhin and Detective Mike Davis, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, resulted in JOSHUA BLACK, 21 the arrest of Willett and Black for possession of stolen property. Both were incarcerated in the Wabash County Jail. Charges are pending on Arney and Noland. The LaFontaine Town Marshal’s office and the Huntington County Sheriff ’s Department assisted with the investigation. TRAVIS WILLET, 18

North Manchester Moose Family Center Celebrates 99th Birthday

CURRENT OFFICERS FROM NORTH MANCHESTER MOOSE FAMILY CENTER #1518 pose in front of the unique ceremonial robe collection that has drawn interest from Moose Supreme Governor James Henderson Sr. Pictured with the welcoming banner are: (from left) Ronald Miller, governor; Mick Ousley, junior governor; Doug Sorg, junior past governor; Duane Piper, prelate; Leroy Bishop, two-year trustee; and Jerry Johnson, administrator. (Photo by Shaun Tilghman) Loyal Order of Moose Supreme Governor to Visit Local Lodge By Shaun Tilghman North Manchester News Journal North Manchester Moose Family Center #1518, located at 207 E. Main St., turned 99 years old last Tuesday, and several events were planned last week for the membership to celebrate the official founding of the local lodge, which occurred on April 2, 1914. “If you think back, I don’t know how many businesses in the North Manchester area can say they’ve

been in business for 99 years, and this is a fraternal organization,” said Moose #1518 Administrator Jerry Johnson. “During those 99 years, the Moose has made a lot of changes. From what I understand, they started across the street then moved over here above what used to be Indiana Lawrence Bank and rented from them for years. Then they purchased the lower part of the building here when the bank moved over to its new location in the 1960s. There has been some remodeling, but we’ve been

here ever since.” In addition to celebrating the 99-year milestone, Johnson explained that they are also starting to get geared up for their centennial event next year. This year represents another milestone for the fraternal organization, as Mooseheart Child City & School, located near Aurora, Ill., will celebrate its centennial birthday. In 1888, a physician from Louisville, Ky., organized a small group of men in the parlor of his home and founded the Loyal

was held in a roundrobin format. Teams of five to ten members answer questions designed to indicate knowledge of characters, plot, and setting from each of the assigned books. A representative from the library reads aloud questions and acts as a judge. Teams have 60 seconds to formulate an answer. The judge then determines whether the answer may be accepted. The team with the most winning matches is the victor. Each team receives a Certificate of Participation, and a candy bar. The teams are also provided with an ice cream party, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Homer Miller. The winning teams from each age group are awarded a pizza party, courtesy of the library. Students also

receive a medal. Their school name is engraved on the traveling trophy, to be kept at the winner’s school until the 2014 contest.

Order of Moose. The original members are believed to have had no further agenda than to form a band of men’s social clubs. By the early 1890s

there were lodges in Cincinnati (Ohio) and St. Louis (Mo.), as well as the smaller Indiana towns of Crawfordsville and Frankfort, but the organizer became dissatisfied and left the infant order before the turn of the century. A young government clerk from Indiana envisioned building the tiny Moose fraternity into a means of providing protection and security for a largely working-class membership. By 1912, the organization’s officers had even made plans for a “Moose Institute” to be built somewhere in the Midwest to provide a home, schooling, and vocational training to children of deceased Moose members. Ohio Congressman John Lentz, a member of the Moose Supreme Council, proposed the name “Mooseheart,” because it would

“always be the place where the Moose fraternity will collectively pour out its heart,

its devotion and sustenance, to the children of its members in (continued on page 4)

North Manchester Moose Family Center... continued from page 3 tively pour out its heart, its devotion and sustenance, to the children of its members in need.” United States Vice President Thomas Marshall, who was raised in North Manchester, spoke at the Mooseheart dedication ceremony on July 27, 1913. At that time, Mooseheart consisted of a few ramshackle buildings and a circus tent that was erected to provide cover for the ceremony. Along with other units of Moose International, the Loyal Order of Moose supports the operation of Mooseheart, which is now a 1,000acre community for children and teens in need. Today, Mooseheart is a model community for children that accepts applications of all children in need – not just those from Moose families – and provides them with food, clothing, shelter, education, and training. The Loyal Order of Moose also supports aged members who are having troublemaking ends meet in retirement through “Moosehaven,” a 72acre retirement community for its members. Located near Jacksonville, Fla., Moosehaven, or the “City of Contentment,” has provided a comfortable home, a wide array of recreational activities, and comprehensive healthcare to retired members since the fall of 1922. Additionally, Moose lodges – roughly 1,600 throughout North America – contribute an average of $80 million in donations and volunteer hours to local communities, according to the Moose International M e m b e r s h i p Department. The

Loyal Order of Moose also conducts numerous sports and recreational programs in local lodges and family centers, and on a fraternity-wide basis. “We’ve always given back to the community,” Johnson stated. “I don’t know for sure how many of the 99 years we’ve sponsored local little league teams, but I know that once we started we’ve never dropped it.” “We’re also a member of the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce and Manchester Main Street,” he continued, “as well as being involved with the M a n c h e s t e r Shepherd’s Center, FunFest, and other community projects. We also sponsor two Sunshine Kids up at Mooseheart. We just love being active in the community, while supporting and giving back to the community at the same time.” According to Johnson, the local Moose currently has 350 men members and approximately 200 women members, or Women of the Moose. The Women of the Moose, originally referred to as the “Women of Mooseheart Legion,” received formal recognition as a Moose auxiliary in 1913. The North Manchester Moose became a Family Center in the 1980s, and the North Manchester Women of the Moose #866 was established on Dec. 18, 1946. “In 1946, we allowed women to become members of our Moose, and that was a big change at that particular time,” Johnson explained. “We’ve also been trying to be more of a family oriented fraternity where chil-

dren are allowed to come in, and with the new smoking laws that were passed, because we are a family center, our membership decided to go nonsmoking as well. Also, in the last four or five years we’ve had a lot of member benefits and family dinners, but you still need to be 21 years of age to join. In terms of membership, the North Manchester lodge is third smallest of the nine lodges in the Northern Indiana District, which includes Plymouth, Goshen, Warsaw, Rochester, etc. “Some of those lodges are three times the size we are, but if you take it per capita we’re doing pretty good,” Johnson added. “Our lodge has been doing very well for a small lodge in a small town,” he continued. “So, I think that’s part of why the Supreme Governor, James Henderson Sr., is interested in checking us out – he’s coming for a meet and greet on April 12, but he’s visiting several other lodges that day as well.” James Henderson Sr., who is Supreme Governor of the Loyal Order of Moose, will stop by the local lodge as part of his travels across the state. He became the Moose fraternity’s chief presiding officer in July of 2012, elected by vote of Supreme Lodge delegates to a one-year term as Supreme Governor, at the organization’s 124th International Convention in Tampa, Fla. Henderson previously served as Supreme Junior Governor, during 2011-12, and Supreme Prelate, during 201011. He has served on

the Supreme Council since June of 2002, and prior to that, he had served seven years on the Moosehaven Board of Directors and 11 years before that on the International Endowment Fund Board. “As far as I know, we have no knowledge of a Supreme Governor coming to our lodge in recent years,” Johnson stated. “Usually he goes

to some of the larger lodges, but he’s heard good things about our lodge, and he is also interested in seeing our robes, because we have the only full set of the original ceremonial robes, worn by lodge officers from 1888 until the 1930s, approximately.” Johnson concluded by saying that Thomas Williams is the only living member of the local lodge that has reached the

degree of Pilgrim, which is the highest of the four levels of lodge membership. Also, the following North Manchester lodge members have belonged to the Moose for 50 years or more: Eddie Arnold, Joe Conrad, Bart Corricelli, Thomas Hardy, Lyle Heath, Richard McKee, Bob Montel, Eugene Snyder, James Stewart, and Robert Stewart.

The North Manchester Moose Family Center #1518 members will have the unique opportunity to meet Moose Supreme Governor James Henderson Sr. when he visits the local lodge on Friday, April 12, at 2 p.m. For more information about this event, or about becoming a member, contact the lodge at 260-982-8211.

Indiana American Water schedules main flushing for Wabash service area April 8 – 30 Program enhances water quality, reliability, fire protection Indiana American Water will conduct water main flushing in all areas located south of the Wabash River in the company’s Wabash service area weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting April 1 and continuing through April 30. The company conducts the annual maintenance program to assure highquality water service and to ensure fire

hydrants are operational. According to Wabash Operations Superintendent Ryan Smith, “Water main and fire hydrant flushing is an important part of a regular maintenance program for water distribution systems. Indiana American Water consistently meets or exceeds all drinking water standards.” No interruptions in water service are anticipated as a result of the work. Customers may expe-

rience a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration while this program is underway. Customers should refrain from doing laundry during the time of day the flushing program is taking place in or near their neighborhood. If tap water is discolored, Indiana American Water recommends allowing several cold-water faucets to run for a short time until the water runs clear. Using more than one faucet allows the

water to clear more quickly. Customers who have questions regarding hydrant flushing may call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-4928373. The water main flushing will be performed by Indiana American Water crews. They will be working out of trucks identified with the company logo. All employees will also have photo ID badges.

Walleyes still abundant in Sylvan and Winona lakes Even though the DNR stocked fewer walleyes in Sylvan and Winona lakes during the past three years, studies show that’s had no effect on the number of walleyes that survived. That means anglers will find plenty of walleyes to catch in those northeastern Indiana lakes. It also appears to mean factors other than stocking rates play more important roles in determining walleye survival. From 2001 through 2009, DNR fisheries biologists stocked fingerling walleyes annually at the rate of 20 per acre at Sylvan in Noble County and Winona in Kosciusko County. That rate was cut to 15 per acre from 2010 through 2012. Survival rates one year later were generally greater at the lower stocking rate than at the higher one. Biologists assess walleye survival based on catch rates of age-1 walleyes one year after stocking. Specialized boats equipped with electrical generators are used to capture the fish. The walleyes are then measured and scale samples are taken for age analysis. The unharmed walleyes are then released into the lake. From 2002 through

2007, catch rates of age-one walleyes at Sylvan averaged 21.8 per hour. Catch rates from 2010 through 2012 averaged 29.8 per hour. That means the average catch rate of walleyes at Sylvan increased 37 percent when the stocking rate was reduced 25 percent. The highest catch rate came from a stocking of 15 per acre. At Winona, walleye catch averaged 11.9 when stocked at the higher rate. At the lower stocking rate, catch rates averaged 12.5 per hour. That’s five percent more walleyes despite stocking 25 percent fewer. Last fall the stocking rate was cut again at both lakes to ten fingerlings per acre.

This rate has been successful in maintaining walleye fisheries at Crooked and Wall lakes in Steuben County and at Pretty Lake in LaGrange County. Since 2001 a total of 140,000 walleyes have been stocked into Sylvan. Winona has received 120,000. Adult walleyes captured last fall measured up to 20 inches long at Sylvan, and up to 24 inches at Winona. The walleyes that are no longer stocked in Sylvan and Winona are being transferred to Maxinkuckee in Marshall County and Clear in Steuben County. To be kept by anglers, a walleye must be at least 14 inches long.

More than half of smokers in Indiana tried to quit in the last year

More than half of smokers in Indiana attempted to quit smoking in the past 12 months, a move that could save the state billions in health care costs, since each pack of cigarettes has an impact of $35, says a new study from Ball State University. “Burden of Smoking among Adults in Indiana, a report by Ball State’s Global Health Institute (GHI) based on 2011 data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), found

57.5 percent of Hoosiers tried to quit in the last year. This included study participants who smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and who, at the time of survey, smoked either every day or some days. The study also found that in 2010, 9,700 Hoosiers died and $4.7 billion was spent on annual health and other economic costs as a result of tobacco use. Nationally, cigarette-smoking costs

Her mother is the former Nicki Torres. She was welcomed by her big brother, Ritter Edward Derck. Grandparents are Tom and Veva Torres, Wabash, and Jim and Robin Derck, LaFontaine.

more than $193 billion, including $97 billion in lost productivity and $96 billion in health care expenditures, said Kerry Anne McGeary, GHI director and Phyllis A. Miller professor of health economics. “People are trying to quit because they realize the dangers of smoking,” she said. “Cessation can significantly reduce the risk of suffering from smoking- related diseases. Counseling and medication can more than double the chance that a smoker who tries to quit will succeed.” The study also found: Smoking continues to a regular habit

for 25.6 percent of Indiana’s population, ranking Indiana seventh in nation for highest percentage of smokers. The percentage of adults who report being current smokers decreases as either income or education levels increase. About 28 percent of males report smoking

compared to 24 percent of females. McGeary points out that cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke and lung diseases including emphysema, bronchitis and chronic airway obstruction

Wabash FAME announces Festival

Wabashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FAME (Foundation for Art and Music in Education) Festival will be Saturday, April 13 from 9-4 p.m. at the Honeywell Center. The free arts festival, offering a variety of arts-related activities, is open to the public. Though the projects were geared toward elementary and junior high aged students, high school students and adults would also enjoy offerings of the day. Younger children would also enjoy some of the activities, but adult supervision is encouraged for them. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural focus is Southeast Asia. The FAME organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive office is in Fort Wayne, where FAME originated in 1987. The yearly festivals in the host city draw large crowds of people with participation from many schools. Wabash festivals began in 2007 to provide opportunities for schools in this area, creating a venue where students could exhibit their artwork and perform their music in a noncompetitive atmosphere. Local festivals have grown to an attendance of approximately 2,000 for the day. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival will feature art projects from students in ten area schools. Their work will be on display in the main lobby of the Honeywell Center. Schools represented and the art teachers from those schools are: Blair Pointe Elementary, Peru, Chelsea Wilkinson; Jefferson Elementary, Winona Lake, Maggie Shipley; LaFontaine Elementary, Erica Tyson; Metro North Elementary, Kathy Gray; Northfield Jr. High, Lynne Keffaber; O.J. Neighbors, Jo Nordman; Sharp Creek Elementary, Lynne Keffaber, S o u t h w o o d Elementary, Erica Tyson; St. Bernard School, Barbara Dixon; W.C. Mills Elementary, Sarah Andrews. There will also be a display of projects created by the Best of the Best High School Art students, representing all of the county high schools. Winning poster designs from the local design contest will be

on display in the lobby also. Several schools will have entries in the student-decorated trash can display. These projects will be available for purchase in a silent auction at the festival. The highest bid will be announced as the winner at 4 p.m., the close of the festival. Proceeds will help with the festival expenses. There will be performances by the youth in several organizations. At 9:30 a.m., W.C. Mills Elementary will be represented by fourth grade recorder students, directed by Jeni Yarger. At 10 a.m., Southwood Elementary kindergarten students will sing several songs, led by Lisa Fadil, Carol Early, and Patty Steele. At 10:30 a.m., choirs from E i s e n h o w e r Elementary and Jefferson Elementary in Warsaw will perform, led by teacher Robin Merrick. At 11 a.m., dancers from second and third grades from O.J. Neighbors will perform folk dances, led by Judy Ward. At 12 p.m., students from

Mixed Martial Arts will show their skills, led by instructor Rocky France. At 1 p.m., Wabash Valley Dance Theater students, led by Carole Hiner and Lisa Traver, will present a dance demonstration and workshop for aspiring dancers. At 3 p.m., the W.C. Mills fifth grade band, under the direction of Wil Woodruff, will perform. Professional visiting guest artist and musicians will highlight festival programs throughout the day. The Ă&#x2021;udamani Ensemble from the beautiful island of Bali in the country of Indonesia will be the featured music and dance artists. They are in residence at the Honeywell Center during the week, with workshops with area school children. Their tour is sponsored by Arts Midwest World Fest. The group performs traditional songs and dances and also composes new works that reflect modern Bali. The gamelan ensemble features metallophones, xylophones, drums, and gongs. They will perform at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.

in the Ford Theater. Guest visual artists will host 30-minute workshops throughout the day. Local popular jewelry artist Candie Cooper will lead students in sessions making shell jewelry from the Philippine Islands. Sessions will be limited to 20-25 students. Classes will begin at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. in the Crystal Room. Janice Furtner from Fort Wayne will lead sessions with shadow puppets, a Balinese form of art. Students will make a puppet and Janice will show how the puppets might be used to tell folk tales in the Balinese culture. Sessions will be at 9:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. in the Nixon Room. Wabash native Kelly Pulley, now living in Nashville, Tenn., will discuss his career as a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book author and illustrator. Students will be able to draw a character with Kelly. He will show samples of his latest books. Sessions will be in the Haist Room, beginning at 9 a.m., 10:15 a.m., 12 p.m., 1:15 p.m.

MutualFirst Financial Inc. Announces Partial Redemption of SBLF Preferred Shares

MutualFirst Financial Inc., the holding company of M u t u a l B a n k , announced today that the Company has redeemed 7,231 shares, or 25 percent, of the preferred stock that the Company issued to the Secretary of the T r e a s u r y (“Secretary”) under the Small Business Lending Fund program (“SBLF”). The shares were redeemed at their liquidation value of $1,000 per share plus accrued dividends for a total of $7,238,030.14. The redemption was approved by the Company’s primary regulator and was funded with a dividend from MutualBank. After this partial redemption, the Company and MutualBank continued to have capital significantly in excess of minimum regulatory requirements and at levels necessary to be deemed well-capitalized under applicable regulatory standards. “We were pleased to have been approved by Treasury to participate in the SBLF,” stated David W. Heeter, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Heeter added, “Our participation in the SBLF was advantageous to the Company, particularly as we emerged from the recession with improved earnings and asset quality in 2012. This redemption does not reflect any change in our commitment to small business lending in

our market areas.” “This partial redemption of our SBLF preferred shares is an important part of the Company’s long-term capital strategy and will reduce our annual SBLF dividends by $361,500 (based on the current five percent dividend rate), thereby increasing fully diluted EPS by $0.05 per share on an annual basis,” stated Chris Cook, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Dividends on the remaining 21,692 shares of SBLF preferred stock are currently five percent. The dividend rate may increase to seven in 2014. Mr. Heeter stated, “Our board of directors will review the Company’s capital levels annually to consider when additional SBLF redemptions are warranted.” All future SBLF redemptions are subject to the approval of the Company’s primary regulator.

Apaches Break Out The Long Ball by Gary Andrews The Wabash Apache baseball team started the season playing in the Blackford invitational Saturday, April 6. The Apaches broke out the long ball, hitting six home runs for the day to defeat WesDel 18-9 in game one to setup the championship game with Muncie Central, who had defeated Blackford. After hitting three home runs in game one, Wabash matched that feat in game two, topping the Bearcats 14-11 to win the tourney. The Apaches made a statement early, when leadoff hitter Landon Cole blasted a solo shot over the center field fence to start the game. Wabash wouldn’t stop there as Kyle Kelsheimer reached on an error and was brought home with a single

from Shea Beauchamp. Grant Sailors would the lace a line drive single against the fence to put runners on first and third. Beauchamp would then score on a passed ball. Kody Fuller would single and Tyler Brewer walk to load the bases when Isaiah Smith singled home the fourth run of the inning. The Apaches, behind starting pitcher Roger Davis, were cruising with a 7-3 lead after five innings when the bats went off again. In the sixth with two out and the bases empty, Smith would draw a walk and steal second. Landon Cole would then single home Smith to lead 83. Kelsheimer would reach on an error for the second time before Shea Beauchamp blasted a

three run shot to go up 11-3. Wes-Del, however, would not go away, scoring four runs in the bottom of the inning to make it 11-7 with an inning to go. The Apache attack was not over as they would erupt for seven runs in the seventh with seven hits that was highlighted by a Tyler Brewer home run to make it 18-7. The shot was Brewer’s first home run of his high school career. Wes-Del would score two runs in the bottom of the inning with two long balls for the final 18-9 score. Wabash got off to a hot start again in the championship. Landon Cole led off with a single and was brought home by Shea Beauchamp’s second long ball of the day to take a quick 2-0 lead. Still up just 2-0

going into the third the Apaches would go again. Beauchamp led off with a walk and was drove in with a Roger Davis double. With two outs Devin Bitzel and Tyler Brewer drove in runs with hits and the Apaches led 5-0 after three. Up 5-0 after four, Wabash looked like they were going to make it a short game. Devin Bitzel would single and Isaiah Smith was hit by a pitch. With runners on first and third Landon Cole would lay down a squeeze bunt that scored Bitzel. An over throw on the same play scored Smith and left Cole on third leading 7-0. Kyle Kelsheimer would then drop down a second squeeze that scored Cole for an 8-0 lead. Shea Beauchamp would

launch a shot that is still flying somewhere for his second homer of the game and third of the day to put the Apaches up 10-0. With everyone thinking the possibility of a five inning game, the Bearcats thought something different, scoring five runs in the bottom of the inning and chasing starting pitcher Grant Sailors from the mound. The Apaches pushed across one run in the top of the sixth to lead 11-5 before the Muncie momentum made it a nail biter. The Bearcats would score six runs in the bottom of the sixth to knot the score at 11 with an inning to go. Justin Holley got things going in the seventh with a single and was followed by a single from Tyler Brewer to put runners

Isaiah Smith would then crunch the 6th Wabash long ball on the day to put the Apaches up 14-11. Smith would then come in to pitch in relief of Holley, hitting the first batter before retiring the next three to seal the win and the tourney.

Norse go 1-2 on Southern Trip

by Gary Andrews The Northfield baseball team took their annual spring trip to Southern Indiana this past weekend to kick start their defense of last year’s state title. After falling to Floyd Central Friday and splitting a double header with Austin Saturday, the Norse returned home with a 1-2 record, which is exactly how they started last year. On April 5, at Floyd Central the Norse trailed 2-0 heading to the third before they made some noise. An Andy Maggart single, which was the lone Norse hit of the game, was followed by four walks to knot the score at 2. Floyd Central went on to score seven more runs to hand

Northfield the loss. The Norse struggled defensively, committing four errors. Pitcher Ryan Keaffaber took the loss, which was just the third loss of his career. “We played very well for four innings but let this one slip away to a very good baseball team in Floyd Central. Tough loss for Ryan (Keaffaber) who pitched fairly well for the first time out,” said coach Tony Uggen. In game one of the Saturday double header with Austin, the Norse were cruising with a 2-0 lead behind pitcher Andy Roser, heading to the bottom of the seventh when Austin plated a couple runs to force extra innings. The game

would end up going nine innings when the Norse scored in the top of the ninth and held on. Ryan Keaffaber and Joseph Ross led the Norse with two hits each. Austin had the winning run at second with one out in the seventh, winning run at third with one out in the eighth and bases loaded and two outs in the ninth, but the Norse held on with some good pitching and defense. Coach Uggen said “Andy (Roser) pitched very well and got some good relief from Joseph Ross who did what we needed him to do to keep us in it. Andy did a great job coming in to get the final out (pop to Collin Dawes at second). I was especially

Proud Sponsors of Wabash County Athletics!

happy with the fact we didn’t panic when we had a couple close calls that didn’t go our way late. We could have made that an excuse but we stayed under control and got the job done.” The Norse fell behind early in game two, trailing 5-0 after two innings. The Norse gave up two walks and committed two errors the first two innings. Northfield would score two runs in the fifth and three in the sixth to trail 7-5 before eventually falling 8-5. Remington Monce, a freshman, pitched very well over three innings in relief in his debut. Shane Vigar pitched one inning as well allowing a run. “Our defense was shoddy for the third

straight game and you can’t do that against decent baseball teams. Austin had five games already under their belts coming in the double header, which helped, but we have to play smarter than we did at times. You have to throw strikes which we didn’t early and have to make routine plays which we didn’t do well all weekend,” said Coach Uggen.

Landon Cole had eight hits, including a home run to lead off game one. Shea Beauchamp hit three homeruns and had 8 RBI’s to lead the Apache offensive attack. Isaiah Smith and Tyler Brewer also hit a homerun each for Wabash. Eleven Wabash hitters picked

If the club would decide to do this LaFontaine Lions Club name would be on the back of a tee shirt that would be given to each rider. This would get the LaFontaine Lions name out there and all of our donation would go to Shop with a Cop. The club voted to give half of the budget money with the request to see one of the tee shirts. Election of officers for the 2013-14 will be Lion Tom Polk, President, Lion Larry Eib Vice President, Lion Norine Ramsey Secretary, Lion Ethel Eib Treasure, all other officers to remain the same for the coming year.

Traveling Exhibition of faces of the Civil War makers history person Civil War history will come alive for visitors who experience Faces of the Civil War, a traveling exhibition created and managed by the Indiana Historical Society. The exhibition will be on display from April 16 – May 23, at the Center for History, 122 E. Main Street in North Manchester. Faces of the Civil War, designed by the HIS exhibition staff, was originally conceived as an exhibition for the Indiana

History Train, which travels throughout the state each fall. Nearly all images used in the new traveling exhibition come from the collections of the Indiana Historical Society. Hands-on, interactive elements have been added to enhance the viewer experience. The exhibition brings to life the stories of many Hoosiers whose lives were touched, and in some cases taken, by the Civil War. Not all are well known or

revered- many were just everyday citizens fulfilling their duties to their friends, family, state and country. Rather than focusing on statistics and large scale battles, Faces of the Civil War illustrates how regular people coped with the tragic experiences of the day- all from an Indiana perspective. “So many of the Civil War soldiers pictured in our library’s collection are acknowledged at best with name and rankwe don’t know their stories,” says Faith Revell, director of HIS Exhibitions. “So

when you come across real people who are so young and handsome and vital, and realize that their lives are cut short, it brings this old history home and makes it relevant. Non-soldier stories featured in the exhibition include the sto-

ries of women who served both on the home front and on the battlefield. Lovina Steight followed her husband into battle and was captured more than once by the Confederate army while tending to her husband as well as his

Old Days Old Ways Tack Shop now open in Roann by Brent Swan For Steve and Nancy Fearnow, retirement isn’t something you enjoy by simply sitting around. After retiring from their respective jobs, the couple contemplated what to do to fill their newfound free time. “I’ve always had the horses, saddles, and tack for most of my life,” Steve said. “I knew I can’t have the horses and trailers here in town, but I had to do something. It was fitting to start

this up.” With that, Old Days Old Ways Tack Shop, 125 N. Washington St., Roann, opened for business. The shop, located behind the Fearnows’ residence, offers customers a wide variety of saddles, bridles, and about anything else one might need. “We’ve accumulated most of this within the past six to eight months,” Steve said. “We’ve bought a lot of stuff out west, in Wyoming and Montana. Anything

anyone could need for a horse, we have it or can get it.” Old Days Old Ways also takes in consignments and allows for trade ins for those interested in switching to a newer setup. “We’ve got all kinds of miscellaneous bridles and tack,” Steve said. “We also have new and used trail saddles, roping saddles, show saddles, and barrel racing saddles. Our biggest line is probably the Corriente Saddle.” Old Days Old Ways

will formally open its doors with a Grand Opening Celebration to be held April 12, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and April 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Door prizes will be given away and light refreshments will be provided. Old Days Old Ways is open Tuesday through Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m., or by appointment by calling 765-833-5524 or 307763-0803.

A Monthly Guide To Managing Your Wealth From

FIRST MERCHANTS TRUST COMPANY A Closer Look at Your Risk Tolerance What type of investor are you? Aggressive and risk tolerant? Conservative and risk averse? Or somewhere in the middle? Your ability to tolerate risk influences the investment choices you make — and, ultimately, may have an impact on your success at reaching your financial goals. Risk Tolerance Isn’t Static

much money you could afford to lose if investment values dropped appreciably. If investment losses would undermine your financial security, and you have a short time frame until you’ll need your funds, your capacity to take risk may be limited. Perform a Reality Check A long stretch of either strong or weak market performance can convince investors that the current trend will continue indefinitely. Perceived risk — how much risk you think an investment holds — is a subjective gauge. Thus, your perception of an investment’s risk might not be in sync with its actual risk. Because your risk tolerance may change over time, consider revisiting the subject periodically — ideally during your annual investment performance review.

Ongoing market volatility can affect an investor’s risk tolerance. During an extended period of extreme market fluctuations, investors who previously had a high capacity for risk may find their comfort levels dropping.

No changes in Indiana muskie fishing rules for now. Current rules allow Indiana-licensed anglers to take one muskie per day in Indiana. There are no limits in Indiana on the number of muskies an Indianalicensed angler can

take per year. The only tags required in Indiana for harvest pertain to deer and turkey hunting—not fishing. Michigan’s muskie tag is free. Any angler who catches a muskie must release the fish

if that person does not possess a harvest tag. “We understand why Michigan is cutting muskie harvest and requiring a muskie tag,” said Jed Pearson, an Indiana DNR fisheries biolo-

Two Kokomo residents arrested on three felony charges Kokomo –On the night of April 4, a month long criminal investigation by the Meth Suppression Team from the Indiana State Police Peru Post resulted in the arrests of Robert Richardson, 49, and his wife, Sandra Richardson, 51, both of Kokomo. They were incarcerated in the Howard County Jail to face felony charges for possession of

methamphetamine, maintaining a common nuisance, and neglect of a dependant. They also face a misdemeanor charge for reckless possession of drug paraphernalia. On April 4, at approximately 8 p.m., officers from the Peru Post Meth Suppression Team executed a Howard Superior Court I search warrant on the Richardson’s resi-

dence at 1621 E. Firmin Street, Kokomo. During their search, officers allegedly found methamphetamine and numerous items of drug paraphernalia. Also at the residence was the Richardson’s threeyear-old grandson who lived with the couple. The Richardsons were arrested and the grandson was placed into the care of the

Howard County Division of the Indiana Department of Child Services. The Indiana State Police encourages anyone with information about the possession, distribution, or manufacturing of methamphetamine to call the Indiana State P o l i c e Methamphetamine Tip Line at 1-800-4534756. Information can be reported anonymously.

other outdoor activities by seeking grants and expanding its city park system,” said DNR fisheries biologist David Kittaka. In fall 2011, the DNR stocked channel catfish in the 11-acre lake to provide additional fishing opportunities. A new DNR boat ramp was installed in fall 2012. The lake is restricted to boats

any size. Michigan also differs from Indiana on when anglers can fish for muskies. Michigan imposes a closed season from March 16 until the last Saturday of April on waters in the Lower Peninsula. Indiana has no closed season on muskies. Anglers can fish for them yearround. “Closed seasons are often used to protect spawning fish. Our muskie program depends entirely on stocking, so a closed season in Indiana is not needed,” Pearson said.

Rainbow trout are coming to Maple Lake in Terre Haute. The DNR, in cooperation with Terre Haute Parks and Recreation, will stock the trout at the city nature park lake at the corner of U.S. 41 and Maple Avenue no later than April 1. “The city has shown a real commitment to fishing and

36 inches or larger to be taken in Indiana, whereas muskies taken in southern Michigan must be at least 42 inches. At some Michigan waters, muskies must be 50 inches long. “At Lake Webster, our premier muskie lake, male muskies do not grow much after they reach 36 inches long,” said Pearson. “Female muskies grow faster but few grow beyond 44 inches. It’s very rare to see a 50-incher.” Increasing Indiana’s size limit, therefore, would not have much of an impact on muskie size because so few muskies are taken at

gist. “They are sending a message that muskies are scarce and the tags provide biologists a good way to track long-term trends in harvest.” Pearson, however, does not think muskie fishing in Indiana is being affected by anglers harvesting the fish. “Based on surveys conducted at several Indiana lakes, few anglers keep muskies,” Pearson said. “They are at the top of the list for catch-and-release fishing.” Michigan also imposes a much higher size limit on muskies than Indiana. A muskie must be

Now that Michigan has restricted anglers to keeping one muskie per year and has implemented a harvest tag system, will Indiana muskie anglers face a similar change? Not likely—at least

Cattle producers should prevent, watch for grass tetany WEST LAFAYETTE - As pastures start to green up in the eastern Corn Belt, cattle producers need to be aware of the risk of grass tetany in grazing animals, a Purdue Extension beef specialist says. Grass tetany, or grass staggers, is a nutritional disease that cattle get from grasses high in water content and potassium and low in other

nutrients, such as magnesium and calcium. Older cows that have just calved and are in peak lactation are the most susceptible. The risk increases in pastures that have been heavily fertilized with nitrogen, so those producers who have spread fertilizers such as poultry litter, hog manure or urea are more at risk. While the condition

is treatable if caught early enough, Ron Lemenager said it’s best to prevent it altogether. “The easiest way to prevent grass tetany is to start these cows on a high magnesium mineral prior to going to grass in the spring,” he said. “That mineral mix should have a minimum of 8 percent magnesium, and it could be 12 percent or higher.” The problem with a high magnesium supplement is that the source is typically magnesium oxide, which isn’t something cattle like to eat. “What we’ll see is that a lot of commercial mineral mixes containing magnesium will include a palatability enhancer - something like dried distillers grains, soybean hulls, wheat midds or dried molasses - to help encourage consump-

Logansport man calls Logansport man arrested 911 to report himself in large meth lab Indiana State Police Trooper Danielle Elwood responded to a 911 call early this morning, which resulted in removing an impaired driver off the roadway. The twist was the impaired driver called 911 to report himself. At approximately 12:20 a.m., on April 8, Jasper County S h e r i f f ’ s Department received a 911 call from a male reporting that he was a drunk driver and needed to be taken off the roadway. Elwood responded to I-65 north bound at the 226-mile

Preliminary investigation revealed that the Toyota, driven by Matthew Devore, 24, Logansport, lost control of the Toyota, went off the roadway into the grassy median. Devore was able to drive his Toyota out of the median but then realized one of his tires was flat. He then stopped his car on the outer shoulder and decided to call 911 to report himself as a drunk driver. Devore related to Elwood that he “was

Devore tested .09 percent Blood Alcohol Content and was taken to Jasper County Jail in Rensselaer. The Indiana State Police would like to remind anyone to contact their local, state or county police with reports of impaired or dangerous driving.

On Saturday, April 6, at approximately 3:52 p.m., firefighters from the Logansport Fire Department and police officers from the Logansport Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting a fire at 515 West Linden Avenue in Logansport. As first responders were approaching the fire, they purportedly encountered the homeowner, John J. Rose, 65, leaving the residence. Rose indicated that there was no one inside the home. Firefighter entered the house to fight the blaze, but had to retreat due to the extreme heat from the fire. Before the firefighters exited the house, they allegedly observed several items associated with the manufacturing of methamphetamine. Firefighters established a perimeter position and worked to contain the fire. Police officers from the Logansport/Cass County Drug Task Force were called to investigate a possible meth lab. During the course of the investigation, officers developed enough probable cause to obtain a Cass Superior Court II search warrant for the residence. Members of the task force and troopers from the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Enforcement Team

executed the warrant. During their search, officers allegedly found over 100 one pot cooking vessels, 155 HCL generators, and over 20 fifty-five gallon bags of meth trash. It took officers more than seven hours to collect all of the evidence. Evidence indicated the house fire was ignited during the manufacturing of methamphetamine. The house was a total loss. Rose had departed the scene prior to the fire being extinguished. On Sunday, April 7, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Rose was arrested by Cass County Sheriff ’s Deputy Pat Zeider. Rose was located at his girlfriend’s home in Logansport. He was incarcerated in the Cass County Jail to face felony

charges for manufacturing methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance. “In my 15 years of law enforcement I have never encountered a drug lab this large,” stated Deputy Pat Zeider of the Logansport/Cass County Drug Task Force. “We are fortunate no one was injured considering there were over 100 one pot cooking vessels and a house fire.” Citizens are encouraged to call their local law enforcement agencies with any information about the possession, distribution, or manufacturing of methamphetamine. Information can also be reported anonymously by calling the Indiana State P o l i c e Methamphetamine

Wabash County Genealogical Society holds program The Wabash County Genealogical Society recently had a program given by David Miller on his dual career; US Coast Guard and US Navy. As a junior in High School in Milwaukee, Wis.; Dave signed into the US Coast Guard. The following summer was spent at Cape May, N.J.; in basic training. Dave first outlined the history of the US Coast Guard and noted that it is a branch of the US Navy. It now functions under the Department of Homeland Security. It

is responsible for the Port of Security as well as other duties. Many of these duties are difficult and dangerous. The involve ice breaking, storms and high seas. This includes the Great Lakes, where many ships have gone down during storms. The US Coast Guard mans life saving service stations seven miles from the outer banks of our county, including Hawaii. They supervise buoys, lighthouses and navigation on all US rivers and lakes. Steamship boiler inspections and oil

spills fall on their watch. The must board ships, large and small, and check for illegalities such as “smuggling.” Although the Captain of a ship is a commissioned officer, since 1790, the Petty Officer is the boarding official and the “warrant” itself to search all ships. They are responsible for lighting on bridges throughout the land including railroad bridges. Dave served 28 years in the US Coast Guard, after which he worked for the balance of a 20 year

career in the US Navy. During his latter tour of duty, he met and marry Ivy Prickett Castle, who was originally from Wabash. Upon their retirements, they chose to build their home in Wabash. Ivy is a homemaker and artist. Dave spends much time volunteering at the Winchester Senior Center. One of his hobbies is Genealogy. He has cataloged much family history and written and bound two pamphlets on this subject. Dave also officiates at military funerals in and around Wabash.
