Honor Flight Program continues to honor World War II veterans with trip to memorial by Brent Swan In only three years, the Honor Flight Northeast Indiana program has honored over 350 World War II veterans with complimentary, all-expenses paid trips to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. The program, funded with private donations, aims to allow World War II veterans the opportunity to visit the monument dedicated in their honor. “For a long time, Washington D.C. had all kinds of monuments, but always lacked a true World War II memorial,” Max Robison, vice president of Honor Flight Northeast Indiana said. “After it opened in 2004, I began to contribute to

it myself.” After visiting the memorial first-hand, Robison saw the impact it made on those that had served. “I knew of this program in Fort Wayne and that they were planning a trip so I volunteered to go as a guardian,” Robison said. “My uncle and my father were both World War II veterans and I thought I could do this as a tribute to them.” On the day of each flight, veterans are appointed a guardian with whom they tour the memorials. “Some of the guys don’t like the idea of having a guardian,” Robison said. “Even though most of these guys are 90-95 years old, they are remarkably spry and independent.”

Prior to his death in January of 2010, Sparling was one of 350 World War II veterans able to take part in the Honor Flight program, which flies veterans to Washington D.C. to visit the World War II memorial at no cost.

itself,” Robison said. “The veterans like to see the pillars representing the states and the battle memorials as well.” After spending time at the WWII Memorial, the group then eats a box lunch on the bus while driving around the city, before stopping by the (continued on page 5)

Wabash Marketplace urges Wabash business owners to maintain structures Dear editor, With the recent loss of downtown landmark, the Mammoth Building, Wabash Marketplace, Inc. (WMI) is choosing to look at the opportunities a loss like this present. The Mammoth Building built between 18491850, was one of the last remaining canalera buildings in our Downtown. The building provided a window into our past and our history as a canal town, one of the largest boom-periods in Wabash history. Within the last month, this important piece of our history has been lost, and the look of Downtown has been forever changed. While WMI is saddened to see this building disappear,

we are now stressing the importance of owner upkeep on our historic properties. Wabash has been very fortunate in the past in our maintaining of built heritage. While many other small communities have suffered many losses, Wabash has suffered very few. With that being said, we do not want this to become a trend. The Mammoth Building was razed because it was deemed a hazard to public safety by the City of Wabash after reviewing an engineering study WMI had commissioned. By January, the Mammoth Building was simply too far gone to be saved, and WMI fully supported the decision of the City. WMI knows that

this demolition could have been prevented if greater care had been taken of the building in the past. The building had obvious problems, and if they were remediated as they occurred, we as a community would not be faced with this issue today. Our collection of historic downtown buildings is owned by a diverse group of people. Many owners take great pride in their properties, and do everything they can to make sure their building is around for another 100 years. With that being said, building neglect infringes damage on us all. The structure of neighboring buildings may be compromised, property values of buildings that

are being diligently maintained suffer, taxpayers are held accountable due an owner’s lack of action, and the overall beauty of Downtown is affected, which effects tourism and out-oftown dollars being spent in our community. As you can see, building neglect causes issues that extend much farther than what is behind the building’s four walls. Therefore, WMI is stressing a “call to action.” We are all responsible for creating a better community to live and work. The citizens of Wabash should take pride in knowing that our city is filled with passionate people who are actively changing the face and

economic environment of our community every day. These are the people who have made Wabash what it is today! These

are the people that make Wabash a place to remember! So, do us all a favor! Take pride in the future of our commu-

nity, and take care of your building! Stephen Allen Executive Director Wabash Marketplace

Morbitzer shares “food for thought” Dear editor, In this season of Holy Week, I find these words quite illuminating: “The nearer I approach to the end of my pilgrimage, the clearer is the evidence of the divine origin of the Bible, the grandeur and sublimity of God’s remedy for fallen man are more appreciated, and the future is illumined with hope and joy.” (Samuel F.B. Morse, inventor of the tele-

graph and the Morse Code) And, from his father, Educator Jedediah Morse, known as the ‘Father of American Geography’: “To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any

nation, either through unbelief, or the corruption of its doctrines, or the neglect of its institutions; in the same proportion will the people of that nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom, and approximate the miseries of complete despotism. I hold this to be a truth confirmed by experience. If so, it follows, that all efforts to destroy the foundations of our

holy religion, ultimately tend to the subversion also of our political freedom and happiness. Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them.” Pastor Tim Morbitzer North Manchester Victory Christian Fellowship

The Dr. James Ford Historic Home, the restored 19th century house museum, has hired a new executive director. Sara Koerner, a Wabash County native, is a graduate of Northfield High School and Ball State University. She enjoys history and is excited about the educational outreach opportunities that the museum can offer for people of all ages. Koerner has been reading “every book in the house” and has developed quite a bond with America Ford.

“America was a strong, independent woman who took charge of the family’s finances while her husband was away. She was resilient and focused and I look forward to sharing America’s story with the visitors at the Dr. James Ford Historic Home,” she said. Koerner believes that the museum offers something interesting for everyone and will work to engage previous visitors with reasons to come back frequently. “The house is such an untapped treasure in Wabash. There are

many opportunities for people of this area to reconnect with their heritage,” she said. She is happy to be working in her hometown and being closer to her family. Most are in the area and she is looking forward to watching her young niece grow up. She also commented on how impressed she is with the changes that have taken place in Wabash over the past four years. “There is such positive progress in this community. I have a new appreciation for the Wabash area and

am excited to be working here,” she said. Please make plans to welcome Koerner back home and visit the Dr. James Ford Historic Home, with its original stone barn and Victorian-era garden. Also note that the 38 Hoosier paintings from the Robert L. & Ellen E Haan Collection are still on display, including the art from the Hoosier Group, Brown County Art Colony, and Richmond School. We encourage you to see this incredible collection. The Haans have the largest and finest

collection of Indiana art in the world, and the selection here will be on display for a few more months. The Dr. James Ford Historic Home is now open for the season. Hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays, noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free for those under age 15.

Tobacco Free Coalition sends thanks to community

ON APRIL 10, the Wabash County Democratic Club hosted a meet and greet for former Indiana Speaker of the House John Gregg. Gregg, who is seeking the Democratic nomination, spoke to a group of about 30 people in the Old Union Hall, 489 Bond St., Wabash. The speech ended with a question and answer session with many local union members among those asking question to the candidate. After the meet and greet, Gregg took a short tour of Downtown Wabash. Gregg is unopposed in the Democratic Primary, which is to be held May 8. Pictured are: (from left) Chad Harris, Wabash County Democratic Club president; John Gregg, Democratic candidate for Indiana Governor; Christopher Wright, Democratic candidate for 18th District state representative.

Dear editor, On March 21, the students from VOICE participated in a Kick Butts Day with a cigarette butt cleanup event. VOICE is an Indiana Youth movement dedicated to exposing the tobacco industry and empowering Hoosier teens to fight back against their deceptive marketing practices. Kick Butts Day is an annual event sponsored by Tobacco Free Kids for youth to stand up and speak out against the tobacco industry. Students from Wabash High School and Manchester Intermediate School met at the Wabash County Judicial Building. The event was kicked off by Mayor Robert E. Vanlandingham. The mayor read a proclamation marking the day as Kick Butts Day. This was exciting to the students as he

shared a personal story as well. Once the event started, the students collected the discarded cigarette butts throughout the downtown area. The goal was to raise awareness about the truths about discarded cigarette butts. The students were amazed about how many people just throw their cigarette butts on the ground. Since it takes 2-25 years for one cigarette butt to biodegrade, the students became very concerned once they realized just how many they were picking up. Even days after this event, my own children who participated were commenting everywhere we went on how many cigarette butts they noticed all over the ground. Most people don’t even litter a gum wrapper anymore, but butts are

still commonly dropped. I would like to take this opportunity to give a heartfelt thanks to the many community members of Wabash that helped with donations and assisted in this very meaningful event. It starts with Mr. Blossom, principal of Wabash High School; Mr. Wieland, assistant principal of Wabash High School; and Mr. Penrod, assistant principal of M a n c h e s t e r Intermediate School, for allowing their students to participate in VOICE. Donations were received from Wabash City Police Department, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, Wabash City Street Department, Youth

Service Bureau and the YMCA. We also had many Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition members that helped with donations and assisted with the event, including Patty Godfroy, Pat Lynn, Heather Banks, Betty Buchanan and Dr. Robert Beckett’s wife, Susan. Remember, if you are smoking outside or in your car, do not discard your cigarette butt on the sidewalk or street. Dispose your cigarette butt in an appropriate container. Let’s keep our streets clean of cigarette butts. Nicole Hicks Youth Programs Coordinator for Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition

Cloward sends message to alleged thieves of political signs Dear editor, On Saturday night, March 24, 2012, three four foot by eight foot long campaign signs were stolen from their installation in fully authorized locations near local highways. There was one Jackie Walorski and one Richard Mourdock sign bolted onto fence posts on CR 400 S and County Road 19, south of Peru, as well as another four by eight Walorski sign on Eel River and 31, north of Peru. I, for one, am very upset at this since I went to a great deal of personal time, effort and money to get those signs assembled and installed (for no compensation) only to have them vanish by the hands of bitter, vindictive people in this county. I have ideas about who has done this but can only speculate. There are those in local political circles whom I have no doubt would be capable of such crimes and I seriously doubt these were pranks by teenagers. Most kids in their age group could care less about political issues. But as a member of the Miami County Republican Party, it’s a bitter tragedy to think that people, those whom we expect to hold to strong conservative

standards and morals, would be so shallow and bitter as to slink out into the night, vandalize the hard work of others, and return to their post the following Monday remorseless for the crimes they committed against their fellow citizens. When members of the Democrat Party accuse us of being ingenuine and dishonest with the public about policies and the presidential administration, how can we look them in the eye and tell them otherwise when there are those in our very fraternity more than willing to undermine, sabotage, and instigate dissent for their own benefit? This kind of behavior is a grave disservice to

conservative values and Republicans. Those who have participated should be ashamed of themselves and I call on anyone who has any information about the perpetrators to come forward. I spent my own money on fence posts and frames ($70) and those signs were up for only two weeks. I’ve spoken to the state police, the high-

way patrol and others have spoken to the Peru Police since each and every sign was placed with permission of the land owner! As a message to those responsible, we have plenty more signs. In fact, I expect this will only energize supporters to replace them with even more. I call on all supporters of Richard Mourdock and Jackie Walorski

to use your opportunities at social events, get-togethers and picnics to distribute more signs and have others replant them. Let me know and I can supply you with plenty that I have personally put together. In the meantime, please keep your eyes open for anyone removing signs. It is against the law. Patrick Cloward Peru

You have options for changing your 2012 Medicare coverage by Lauren Montrastelle community relations manager Care Improvement Plus

Beneficiaries who aren’t fully satisfied with their coverage should know that they may still have the option to make changes this year. Many beneficiaries assume they must wait until the fall enrollment period to change their coverage - but through what is referred to as the “Special Election Period,” those who meet certain criteria may qualify to enroll in a new Medicare plan anytime of the year. Recognizing that individual health and

coverage needs can change over the course of a year, Medicare allows a variety of beneficiaries to make changes to their coverage during the Special Election Period. For example, eligible beneficiaries with chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart failure are allowed to enroll in a Special Needs Plan for their condition. Once they enroll, the Special Election Period ends. Additionally, eligible Medicare beneficiaries receiving Medicaid assistance

may switch their coverage at anytime of the year. When eligible beneficiaries request a special election, depending on the nature of the Special Election Period, they can: · Discontinue current Medicare Advantage plan enrollment and enroll in Original Medicare; - Transfer from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan that best fits their needs; or - Switch from their current Medicare

Advantage plan to another Medicare Advantage plan that better meets their needs. If you are considering changing your Medicare coverage, it is important to take some time to evaluate your current plan, compare it to other options available in your area, and ensure that an alternative plan will provide the type of care you need. When doing so, some questions to ask include: - Is my current plan providing the type of care and coverage

expected for my health conditions? - Are there services I was hoping to obtain with my plan, but did not receive, such as prescription drug coverage or occasional in-home visits? Do other plans in my area offer these services? - Would other plans in my area make better financial sense for me? · Do I have access to the physicians I trust and need to see through my current plan?

Planting early is risky venture, regardless of favorable weather Planting corn or soybeans before early planting dates could be a risky move for growers with certain types of crop insurance, a Purdue Extension agricultural economist says. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency, Indiana and Ohio farmers with individual crop insurance plans have no replant coverage on corn planted before April 6, or soybeans planted before April 21. That

means if the crop is damaged or destroyed, insurance will not cover the cost to replant it. “One thing the crop insurance policies are intended to do is promote farmers following good farming practices,” said George Patrick. “Planting before these dates runs a higher risk of loss, so it is not encouraged by crop insurance.” The early planting regulations do not apply to county-based group risk or income

protection plans. “If producers with individual insurance plans follow the regulations and don’t plant their crops too early and the crop is destroyed, they will receive a payment that about replaces cost of the seed,” Patrick said. But in the case of corn, poor 2011 growing conditions mean that additional seed might not be available for replanting, said Alan Galbreth, chief executive for the Indiana Crop

I m p r ove m e n t Association. “Seed corn yields last summer were down 20-30 percent, South American production this winter has not met yield expectations, and carryover seed stock inventories were lower than normal prior to last summer’s production issues,” he said. “There should be enough seed for planting, but choices of hybrids and maturity ranges are somewhat limited now and could be very

limited for replant seed.” While crop insurance plans and initial seed orders had to be purchased by now, it’s still important for producers to talk with their insurance agents and seed representatives to fully understand what risks they face if they choose to plant early. The Risk Management Agency also has more information via online fact sheets at http://www.rma.usda .gov.

Honor Flight Program continues to honor World War II veterans with trip to memorial... continued from front page Korean and Vietnam Memorials. “Another highlight

of the trip for most of the veterans is when we go to Arlington National Cemetery for the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,” Robison said. “On our way out of Arlington, most of the guys like to stop by the gravesite of Audie Murphy who is the most decorated soldier to come out of WWII.”

According to Robison, one of the most pressing issues the organization faces is time. Nearly 1,000 World War II veterans pass away each day, with many never able to see the memorial. “When we start making our calls to inform people that they are on the next flight, we do unfortunately hear that some of the veterans have

passed away since they filled out the application,” Robison said. “Time is something you are always working against. “There are a lot more veterans out there that haven’t gone to the memorial than you would like to believe,” Robison said. “We want to get the word out that we are out here and we hope to give everyone

a chance to go on one of our trips.” Open to any World War II veteran, applications for qualified veterans are available on the Honor Flight Northeast Indiana’s w e b s i t e , www.hfnei.org. At no cost to the veterans, guardians pay $400 for their share of the trip. “Each complete trip costs us about $75,000 once you factor in all of our costs,” Robison said. “You’d be surprised who all has helped our program out, from the Legions to the individuals, we appreciate each and every donation.” “The trip truly is a neat experience, from beginning to end, not only for the veterans, but also the guardians,” Robison said. “When you get these veterans to the memorial and see random strangers come up to the guys, shake their hands, and say, ‘Thank you for your service,’ it’s a neat thing to see.”

Grace College and Manchester College enter Athletic Training Program partnership

On April 4, representatives from Grace College and from Manchester College attended a luncheon to formalize a partnership between the schools. The partnership will allow students who graduate from Grace College with a Bachelor of Science in exercise science to continue their education at Manchester College in the Master of Athletic Training (MAT) program. Students who take advantage of the three-year accelerated program at Grace will be able to graduate and enter the workforce in only five years. The agreement is taking advantage of programs at each school - the new Bachelor of Science in exercise science at Grace, debuting Fall 2012, and the MAT at Manchester, which began in Summer 2010. Manchesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Master of Athletic Training program affords students practical, handson experience that prepares them for jobs in secondary schools, colleges and universities, hospitals and clinics, fitness and recreation centers, business and industry, and with professional sports teams. This format will work especially well with Grace graduates, who will have completed their undergrad degree with 12 hours of applied learning credits. It is anticipated that Grace College will become a Clinical Athletic Training Site for the MAT program. The MAT program is a full-time two-year program designed for students whose bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees are in other disciplines, which promotes diversity and enhanced versatility within the athletic training profession. The MAT program had an accreditation site visit in February and accreditation is anticipated in Summer 2012. Only graduates of accredited programs are eligible to take the BOC examination for certification as an athletic trainer. Dr. Glenn Sharfman, vice president for academic affairs, Dr. Mark Huntington, program director, Graduate Athletic Training Education, and Jeff

Beer, program director for Undergraduate Athletic Training Education, represented Manchester College at the luncheon. Dr. William Katip, Provost, Dr. Jeffrey Fawcett, Dean of the School of Business, and Dr. Darrell Johnson, Director for the Sport Management Program, represented Grace College. The representatives agreed that the partnership is an exciting opportunity for both the schools and the students involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great opportunity for Grace to offer an option in Athletic Training. The Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Program at Manchester College is a quality program, and I am happy to send our students there to further their education. Dr. Huntington and I are both pleased with the opportunities this cooperative program affords students at both institutions. This program opens a new academic area for Grace College Sport Management Majorsâ&#x20AC;? Johnson said.

Hammons shares political thoughts Dear editor, The push against capitalism may have started in California when as children my husband and his sister found a way to make money and clean up the environment at the same time! At some huge indoor trade show they found popcorn cartons and popcorn tossed on the floor. They scooped it up and sold it to the people at 100 percent profit. Some will laugh, and some will say “that’s how all those evil rich capitalist got started!” They say it’s for our good that little kids lemonade stands are being shut down. We don’t know what those kids are putting in lemonade! New York has ruled no more free food handouts for the homeless for their good. For our good we can’t buy cold medicines off the shelves. Now you

must pick up a little card, go to the pharmacy present it and “license please!” We need a license to drive, go to the doctor, apply for a job or loan, buy beer and cigarettes, fly, enter a federal building. If you decide to stock up on cold meds, uh, no. Guilty before charged, you can’t. You might be a meth dealer and with 6,000 new regulations on medicines your freedom to choose just disappeared! I’m not a criminal, but feel like one when trying to buy allergy meds that help me breathe better when I need it. Don’t argue with me it’s for our own good! We are like stupid animals who need hoody daddy and his big government to take over every aspect of our lives. So why is the federal government suing Texas over enforcing voter ID law? If I was

“black” instead of “off white”, I’d be so mad to hear the president say it’s hard for blacks to get ID! How demeaning, racist and false! The word “liar” is in the Bible! The fight over voter ID is for chaos, division and to strike it down because the only way Obama can win reelection is by voter fraud. No ID, the dead can vote, the prisoner, the alien-boat (my new song!) Our co-parenting government has new rules so listen up! Department of Labor says your kids can’t work the family farm. How dare you teach your kids how to work and make a living! Surely this applies to household and family business. How does it feel having your kids “kidnapped” by this government? Churches, listen up! Free birth control is found at Planned Parenthood or

Frosty and Friends needs donations

Dear editor, Just wondering if people have any idea what is really involved in animal rescue and what the rescuers actually give of themselves and their lives to help/save the animals that most people have decided that they don’t want anymore. In most cases, the “new” wears off, kids come along, they get bit, or they realize how much work and money is involved in actually owning a pet. Rescuers, like ourselves, take in these unwanted, abused, neglected angels and spend hours upon hours daily, caring for and loving these precious babies that didn’t ask to be born/bred. We will spend our last dollar to feed them and get them the vet care they need. We will do without food and medical care for ourselves in order to save them. We spend countless hours praying over these sick, neglected, abused animals that we take in who were tossed aside. Not only is there a dog and cat crisis in this country, there is a bird/parrot crisis! The difference being that birds can live 4060 years plus! They will go through numerous homes in their lifetime. These

feathered angels are now being euthanized the same as dogs and cats because the rescues and shelters are at capacity and cannot take in any more. The breeders continue to breed at an alarming rate because there is big money to be made from people wanting a baby bird. Our rescue is full and we are turning down birds weekly. I cry and pray that the ones we can’t take, who didn’t ask to be kept in a cage in a living room, don’t end up in a basement, garage or closet because they are loud, destructive and they bite! I recently took a bite to the bone from one of our most loving macaws. I merely told him that I loved him and kissed him on the head. I understand their frustration from not being allowed to live free in the wild as they should have been. Everyone is quick to donate to the ASPCA, HSUS, PETA and other big animal welfare organizations, not knowing where their money goes and how it is spent. Why not help your local rescues and shelters and know that you are helping actual animals in need? We do receive a lot

of ‘pats on the back’ and “thank you for what you do for animals” comments, which we do appreciate, but kind words don’t help pay our $800 a month food bill or the many vet bills we incur. As is the case with most rescuers, our hearts are always much bigger than our wallets. We have been given two acres of land by a very generous donor and Heartland Career Center is anxious to build us a 4,000 square foot sanctuary. We would then be able to open our doors to visitors and tours, offer education classes and help more birds. We need your help! Please visit our website and see our “How You Can Help” and “Wish List” pages. We are a federal 501(c)3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. We won’t go down without a fight and we will continue to help these animals for as long as God allows. Frosty and Friends Exotic Bird Rescue can be found online at www.frostyandfriendsrescue.com.

Walmart for $10 month yet the government is mandating that Catholic Church sponsored anything must provide free birth control for employees. This has nothing to do with women’s health rights or choice. This has everything to do with dividing, tearing down, taking over and will not be confined to one church! This is the beginning. Denominations, Christians, believers, if we don’t set aside our differences and

stand together against evil, our freedom to believe, assemble, tithe, speak freely and have leaders who will speak boldly the word of God is over. Finally, did you know Obama is funding the Muslim brotherhood? Almighty God, help us and your chosen people Israel remember you alone are God, and please tell Obama that! In Jesus name, amen.

Two arrested for dealing marijuana

On April 9 at approximately 9:46 p.m., Wabash County Sheriff ’s Deputy Ben Mota conducted a traffic stop for a minor infraction at Vernon Street just north of State Road 13 after being informed by Off-Duty Reserve Deputy David Rigney that the vehicle was driving recklessly. Upon approaching the vehicle, Deputy Mota smelled the strong odor of marijuana, and had the

driver, Justice Shreves, 17, exit the vehicle. The front passenger, Michael Noland, 17, was then asked to exit the vehicle.

Prison inmate charged with attempted murder of correctional officer Recently, a month long criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Mike Tarrh and Lorna Harbaugh, internal affairs investigator for the Miami Correctional Facility, resulted in attempted murder and aggravated battery charges being filed against Ruben Gonzalez, 39, an inmate within the Indiana Department of Correction. On the afternoon of Feb. 29, Gonzalez allegedly beat a Miami Correctional Facility officer unconscious inside an offender housing unit at the Miami Correctional Facility. Gonzalez purportedly committed the unprovoked attack by striking the correctional officer repeatedly in the head and face with a sock containing a padlock hidden

inside. The correctional officer, a 10-year veteran of the Indiana Department of Correction, was flown by Lifeline helicopter to a Fort Wayne hospital. The officer suffered a skull fracture, a broken jaw, arterial bleeding inside his neck, and has sustained hearing loss as a result of the attack. He faces several months of rehabilitation to recover from his injuries. Shortly after the attack, Gonzalez was transferred to the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility in Carlisle. That is where he was served a Miami Circuit Court arrest warrant alleging one count of attempted murder and a Class B felony count for aggravated battery.

Teens arrested for possessing hallucinogenic mushrooms Recently, a traffic stop by Indiana State Trooper Luke Bowyer led to the arrests of four Miami County teenagers on drug charges. Trooper Bowyer initiated a traffic stop on a GMC Sierra pickup truck, which was allegedly traveling over the posted 45 miles per hour speed limit near 2707 North Eel River Cemetery Rd. As Bowyer was speaking with the GMC’s driver, Jhonathan R. Bellar, 18, Peru, he detected an odor of marijuana emitting from the truck. Bowyer also purportedly noticed drug paraphernalia in plain sight. Trooper Wendell Beachy arrived to assist Bowyer with the stop. Bellar, and his three passengers, were taken from the vehicle and a subsequent search of the truck was conducted. Officers allegedly found a small plastic bag containing psilocybin mushrooms (commonly called shrooms) and drug paraphernalia. Troopers also searched the occupants of the vehicle. They allegedly found a plastic bag purportedly containing psilocybin mushrooms in the pants pocket of Mayson T. Benedict, 19,

Denver. Officers also allegedly found psilocybin mushrooms inside the purse of a 16-year-old female passenger. A third passenger, Aleck D. Akemon, 18, Macy, was allegedly in possession of a misdemeanor amount of marijuana. Bellar did not have any narcotics on his person. Bellar was incarcerated in the Miami County Jail on a Class D felony charge for maintaining a common nuisance. Benedict and Akemon were incarcerated in the Miami County Jail on a class D felony charge for possession of a Scheduled I narcotic (psilocybin mushrooms). All three have since bonded out. The 16-year-old female passenger was released into the custody of her mother. A report will be forwarded to the Miami County prosecutor’s office for the consideration of a Class D felony charge for possession of a scheduled I narcotic (psilocybin mushrooms). A Schedule I narcotic is classified as such if it has a high potential for abuse; and has no accepted medical use in the United States or lacks accepted safety for use in treatment under medical supervision. All subjects are pre-

Laketon Legion celebrates 93rd birthday of American Legion The Laketon American Legion, Auxiliary and S.A.L. #402 celebrated the 93rd birthday of the American Legion on March 25. Dinner was served by the Auxiliary from tables decorated in red, white and blue to approximately 50 members attending. Fifth District Commander Jerry Stevens of Fairmount #303 spoke on the beginning of the American Legion in 1919 and its growth until a few years ago and how it is now declining. He discussed the urgency for Posts to strive on retention of members and welcome the service men and women of the communities to the post while thanking them for their contribution and time served. Introduce them to the many outstanding programs of the American Legion, such as Boys State,

oratorical contests, baseball, homes for the homeless and legislature for veteran benefits, to name a few. Another special guest was Beverly Swaim, Roanoke #160, Fifth District Auxiliary president, who congratulated the Unit on reaching 100 percent in membership. She also spoke on the fine work of the Unit to many of the Auxiliary programs and their contribution to the District. Ron Sexton of Marion Post #10, a past Fifth District Detachment Commander, and this year serving as Department S.A.L. membership chairman, congratulated the #402 S.A.L. on 100 percent membership. Other special guests were: Brenda Hall, Fifth District secretary and Department Sgt.-at-Arms, and Mary Stevens, wife of

Commander Stevens. The afternoon program included a 50year Continuous Year Certificate awarded to Gene Selleck, a past Post #402 Commander, by Post Adjutant Bob Haecker. Several Auxiliary members were recognized for the following continuous years: Celeste Price, five years; Colleen Summers, 15 years; Chris Haecker, 25 years; and Rhonda Hagg, 45 years. Fiftyyear recipients, unable to attend, were Marilyn ThompsonFlora and Iva Wolfe; and a 60-year certificate to Katherine Ihnen. Auxiliary President Chris Haecker recognized Mary Rohrer, unit membership chairman, who introduced and presented Auxiliary pins to new members, Donna Griffey, Evelyn Dingess and Connie Chaplin.

Tri Kappa donates blankets to Riley Hospital Recently, the Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Wabash Tri Kappa donated 83 finished fleece blankets to Riley Children’s H o s p i t a l , Indianapolis. These blankets are given to the children as they enter the hospital for treatment. During a business meeting titled “Caring for Riley”, members of Tri Kappa made these fleece blankets as one of their outreach service projects. Each

member was asked to donate two yards of fleece that would be made into the blankets for Riley patients. Most members donated more than that in order to complete this many blankets. Tri Kappa Member and Riley Chairman Reta Coburn was in charge of organizing the materials and preparing for the construction of the blankets by members. She also delivered all 83 blankets, in person, to

Riley Children’s Hospital. The blankets were a variety of sizes from small infant to large for teenagers. Alpha Epsilon Chapter President Donna Beck said she is extremely proud of this wonderful group of ladies. “They all give freely of their time to take part in projects for Tri Kappa and the Wabash community,” she said. “They are the best!”

Moore shows support of Mourdock for Senate Dear editor, On April 11, I watched the only debate between the Richards contesting one of Indiana’s two Senate seats. Basically, the whole affair was rather dull. In my view, that was more a reflection on the Debate Commission rather than the two candidates. Mr. Lugar seamed steady, despite his advancing age, and Mr. Mourdock showed himself to be knowledgeable about the issues presented in the questions. If the debate was milquetoast, this contest certainly is not. Mr. Lugar has been in the Senate for 35 years. Some suggest that is a good thing as it gives him more “clout” by way of seniority. I’m not so sure. That many years in D.C. tend to distort a person’s view of their own importance and certainly insulated him from the views of the residents of

Indiana. Mr. Lugar sold his Indiana home when he left for the Senate putting the residency requirement in question, has charged taxpayers for hotel lodgings when visiting the state, and voted in a precinct unlawfully using an abandoned address. Even if given a pass officially, I see that as cheating. (I still haven’t figured out the difference between Charlie White’s voting and Richard Lugar’s, but maybe that’s some of the “clout”.) Mr. Lugar has a reputation of being the third most liberal Republican in the Senate. I recognize that reputation was not built on his most recent voting record. His votes have gotten much more conservative during this present election cycle. Mr. Lugar has been so good at the art of compromise I think it’s not only fair, but probably mandatory, to place a share of the

Penguin Point announces People Pleaser of the Year Steve Devenney, chief operating officer, has announced that Penguin Point Franchise Systems has named the winners of their 23rd Annual People Pleaser of the Year. The award is given to the one person in each restaurant in appreciation for consistent dedication to people pleasing both customers and associates. The associates in each restaurant vote for that one person whose attitude, dependability, initiative, quality of work, co-operation and customer relation skills best reflect the Penguin Point People Pleaser profile. The award includes a cash bonus, a People Pleaser plaque with photo posted in the lobby and an honorary pin. The People Pleaser of the Year winner from Penguin Point, Wabash, was Miranda Olinger. She has been with

Miranda Olinger Penguin Point for over four years and is a very bright woman, according to Manager Carla Olinger. She has a great attitude about life and helping people in need. She enjoys playing with animals, reading and helping out at a local group home. She plans to attend Ball State University to pursue a degree in biology.

blame for our outrageous national debt on his shoulders. Don’t overlook his position on TARP, the auto bailout, earmarks, the DREAM Act, and other pre2010 votes. These are very different times than when Mr. Lugar first went to Washington and unless strong, fiscally prudent, realistic persons fill those seats in

Congress, our nation’s future is bleak. We can’t afford more of the same. Richard Mourdock is my choice for this Senate seat. He recognizes the direct need to reverse our present direction and is willing to do the job that needs doing. His extensive study of early American history gives this man unique insight into

the founding fathers’ visions and our constitutional requirements. Mr. Mourdock is not one that goes along to get along but will take a stand for what is right. He doesn’t aspire to a new career but is ready to serve. Let’s send him to the Senate in 2013 and then welcome him back to Indiana after a term or two.

Senator Mourdock is a CHANGE I support and I HOPE you

will too. Judy Moore North Manchester

“Hanging Rock has endured attack by oceans, glaciers, streams and weathering agents for hundreds of millions of years. Hanging Rock is part of the Wabash reef, which is one of the most famous in the world.” The U.S. Department of the Interior designated Hanging Rock as a National Natural Landmark on May 23, 1986. This designation is given only to areas of national significance in order to preserve America’s natural heritage. “Beyond its geological significance, Hanging Rock is a landmark that is culturally important to current and past generations of Wabash County,” shared Jason Kissel, executive director of ACRES. Along with being logged in geological textbooks and designated as a national natural landmark, Hanging Rock is also featured in Doug Crandall’s 2007 mem-

oir entitled The AllAmerican Industrial Motel: A Memoir and is the subject of the opening chapter in Ron Woodward and Gladys Harvey’s Wabash County C h r o n i c l e s . Additionally, it is highlighted as an historic point of interest along the county’s 92mile hard surface bike trail. Preserving and promoting the county’s natural features is a key component in an effective cultural heritage tourism plan. As a community, we easily recognize the manmade tributes dedicated to legacies of the past, yet it is imperative that we do not overlook our natural wonders that reflect the history of how we came to be before the age of man. Christine Flohr is the executive director of Tourism for Visit Wabash County. For more information regarding tourism in Wabash County please contact the office at 260-563-7171

Rock of Ages in Wabash County

by Christine Flohr When identifying some of the more acclaimed attractions throughout Wabash County, there is one particular attraction that needs to make the list more often Hanging Rock, in good ole’ Lagro, Indiana. ACRES Land Trust, the owners of this “significant geological feature” acknowledge the 400 million year history of the nearly 80 foot tall reef. Regarded as an international destination for geologist and geological enthusiasts, Hanging Rock tells a tale much more significant than the lovers-leap folklore of the death of a lovestruck Native American Indian maiden. The rock was formed from the remains of shelled organisms that were uncovered by glacial and stream erosion during the Ice Age according to geologist, Tony Fleming. ACRES hails,

Wabash Musicale met March 27 Organist Wabash Musicale met March 27 at Christ United Methodist Church with 21 members present. The “Music Colors Our World” theme found March color as green and the sentiment as New Beginnings. Chairperson Eileen Dye reflected of Spring as a “new beginning” for nature and our spirits. In spring, the color of green is sprouting up everywhere. With green as the signature color of Kermit the Frog, she invited all to sing “Being Green” by Joe Raposo. Playing a piano/organ duet called “Jubilation” was Minda Lehman and Carolyn Eppley. This was written by Joe Utterback from Celebrations for Duo Majoya, copyrighted

Cundick was a Latter Day Saint composer who served as an organist at the Morman Tabernacle. A duet called “Fiesta Mariachi” by William Gillock, was played on piano by Carolyn and Luvernia. This was a fun piece of music written and dedicated to the Dallas Southwest Music Teacher’s Association by Gillock who was an educator and composer of piano music. “Oh Sacred Head Now Wounded” by Hans Leo Hassler; adapted and harmonized by Johann Sebastian Bach, was performed on piano

by Minda and Carolyn. This passion Chorale is especially heard during Lent. Concluding the program was a group sing of “This is the Day of New Beginnings” by David Ashley White and text by Brian Wren. A new slate of officers was voted on and approved for 2012-2013 with Ellen Mock, president; Sue Gray, vice president; and Eileen Dye, secretary/treasurer. Guest Night is April 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church with the public invited to attend. Refreshments were served by Carolyn Eppley, Margaret Piety, Luvernia Wilson and Sheri Shanks.

Charles Webb to perform at Honeywell Center Wabash Valley Music Association presents an organ recital with Charles Webb in the Honeywell Center’s Ford Theater on April 20 at 7:30 p.m. In 2004, Webb was named a Living Legend of the State of Indiana for his work in music. Webb’s performance will feature Mendelssohn’s Sonata No. 2 in C Minor and two movements from A l e x a n d e r Guilmant’s Organ Sonata No. 1 in D minor. Guilmant was one of the most important impressionistic composers for the organ; this sonata features beautiful solo stops as well as a virtuosic toccata for the last movement. Other works will include one of J. S. Bach’s major works and several smaller pieces.

Southwood Knights fall to Mississinewa by Gary Andrews The Southwood baseball team continued its woes April 13, falling to Mississinewa 12-2. Mississinewa plated a run in the top of the second to give the Indians a 1-0 lead. Freshman Jacob Lloyd singled in the bottom of the inning and advanced on a balk, but the Knights came up empty handed. In the third, things

got a little shaky on the mound for starting pitcher Tim Duell. The Indians drew four walks and scored three runs on two passed balls and a hit batsman to lead 4-0. Mississinewa would score one more run in the fifth and three in the sixth to lead 8-0 before the Knights made a little noise. Lloyd doubled for his third hit of the game and Duell followed him with a line

drive home run over the left field fence to make it 8-2. Some key base running mistakes cut the Knight rally short. The Indians would tack on four more runs in the top of the seventh and hold the Knights for the 12-2 final. Jacob Lloyd led the Knights with three hits. Robbie Cole added two. Duell, Colin Elliott and Kyle Weaver each had a hit.

ing Peru, 19-2, in the opening game of a double header. Robbie Cole had a

triple, while Nathan Hollars and Ryan Skeens each had doubles in the contest.

Game two was stopped in the third inning due to rain.

Apache golfers fare Lewis Cass Kings take well at Caston Invite doubleheader from Apaches The Wabash boys golf team finished third out of nine teams in the Caston Invite played at Pondview Golf Course on April 14. Jordan Blair and Jack Leland each shot an 85 to lead the team. This was good enough for each to earn individual medals for finishing in the top eight. Junior Andrew Adamson followed with an 89 and senior Justin Middleton rounded out the scoring with a 95. The team is in action on April 17 as they travel to Etna Acres Golf Course to take part in a threeway match with host Southwood and visiting Oak Hill. Tee times begin at 4:30 p.m.

Lady Norse softball drops two at Winamac The Northfield softball team suffered a pair of losses April 14 at Winamac. The Norse fell 9-3 in game one and 6-5 in game two. In game one Katelyn Shafer pitched 6 innings giving up only nine hits, striking out four and walking one. Caitlyn Eltzroth, Arie Kennedy, Katelyn Shafer, Kayla Unger, Bethany Azbell and Hannah Bright each collected a hit.

by Gary Andrews The Wabash baseball team suffered a pair of losses to Lewis Cass on April 14. Cass came from behind to beat the Apaches 6-5 in game one, then did the same in a rain shortened five inning game two by a score of 7-5. Cass was up 2-0 in game one when the Apaches exploded in the fourth inning for five runs, aided by a grand slam from Shea Beauchamp. Cass answered with four runs in the fifth and then held on for the 6-5 win. Roger Davis took the loss on the mound, going all seven innings, giving up seven hits, six runs, walking four and striking out two. Isiah Smith, Andrew Shepherd, Nate Price and Landon Cole all had hits. Shea Beauchamp was 3 for 4 with a grand slam and 4 rbiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. In game two the Apaches struck first. In the bottom of the first Landon Cole and Nate Price drew walks and were fol-

lowed by a bunt single from Andrew Shepherd to load the bases. Shea Beauchamp then singled home two, but base running mistakes resulted in two run downs on the same play, both outs. Cass tied the game in the top of the second when light rain started. The Apaches would strike back in the third. With Beauchamp and McHaney on, Colt Bayliss singled home Beauchamp to make it 3-2, then Roger Davis singled home McHaney and Bayliss, making it 52. Cass would rally in the fourth. With a single and two walks the bases were loaded with one out. On a ground ball the Apaches went for the double play, giving up two runs and getting one out. Wabash led 5-4 after four. In the top of the fifth, Cass put two runners on by walks and then tripled them both home to take the 6-5 lead heading to the bot-

With one out, Justin Holley and Roger Davis drew walks, but the Apaches could not get them around and stranded both. The umpires called the game after the fifth because of rain. Jordan Floor took

the loss, pitching five innings, giving up ten hits, seven runs, six earned, walking five and striking out five. Thomas McHaney, Roger Davis, Andrew Shepherd and Colt Bayliss each had a hit. Shea Beauchamp collected two hits.

METRO NORTH NEWS: Metro North Elementary students recently participated in the first ever Polar Bear Cup. The reading theme for this school year is Read to Score. Students have been earning reading points through reading and passing quizzes on their Reading Counts books. A giant scoreboard in the library tracked the total points for the school. The goal was to reach 33,000 points. The students earned 33,973 points and were rewarded with a hockey game! Each of the four grade levels played one quarter. The top point earners from each grade level were selected to play as other students and staff members cheered them on.

Kindergarten played a six-minute quarter. It was an exciting quarter as red scored two goals and blue scored one goal. The first graders played a 10-minute quarter. During their quarter, red scored no goals, and blue scored two goals. Second and third graders each played 12-minute quarters. In second grade, the red outscored the blue, 51. The third grade quarter was a very exciting, hard-fought quarter that ended in a 1-1 tie! Congratulations to all who participated. (From Metro North Principal Barb Ihnen) THANKS to all those who participated in the community Good Friday service, and Easter Sunday breakfast and service, as well as the Easter Egg Hunt! Thanks also to all the volunteers to make these events happen in our community. Your hard work is appreciated. MARGARET FLITCRAFT, from Roann, went on a wonderful trip with Debbie and Reggie Flitcraft, of Wabash, over spring break. On their way out west, they stopped

in St. Louis and toured the Arch and went on a riverboat ride. They ventured west to Enid, Okla., to visit a friend and former neighbor, Katie Fishback (widow of Bill Fishback). They also visited with Betty Keim and Steven Fishback, while they were there. They traveled through Arkansas, visited Memphis and stopped in Union City, Tenn., to see Wesley and Joyce Thompson, Margaret’s first cousins. Margaret and her friends visited the cemetery where Margaret’s sister, Nellie Williams, is buried. Nellie passed away last June. The group then returned home, to Roann on April 7. A good time was had by all.

Spiece entertains Kiwanis members with autograph collection Tom Spiece delighted the Wabash Kiwanis Club at the Spiece Warehouse this week with a presentation of his extensive autograph collection. Over the years, Spiece has tried to pursue autographs from people he admires or with whom he has some connection. “In the Warehouse, I have what I consider to be my serious autographs.” Spiece said. “These are business people, or people who have achieved a level of accomplishment that I admire. I’m not necessarily collecting an autograph because the person was famous. I collect them because they were important to me.” Spiece once attended a Walmart shareholder’s meeting in the hopes of convinc-

ing then-CEO Sam Walton to give an autograph. He was able to attract the attention of Mr. Walton, the former richest man in the world, by waiving a copy of a Walmart stock certificate in the air. “I like to tell a story with my autographs. I think you should tell the story, then the whole experience becomes better,” he said. Another of the items displayed was a letter written and signed by former president James Garfield. Spiece is an avid collector of Wooton desks, which were designed and produced by Indianapolis native William S. Wooten in the late 1800s. Garfield reportedly owned such a desk. “I like to think

maybe he signed this letter while sitting behind his Wooton desk,” Spiece said. The oldest autograph in Spiece’s collection is that of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. He has also collected the signatures of John Hancock, Babe Ruth, and each of the U.S. military’s five-star generals. “There’s a feeling that goes around this room, because all of these things have been signed by someone. They touched this paper, and I’ve brought them into my little area,” he said. Those interested in learning more about Kiwanis may contact Ellen Mock, membership director, at 260563-1102.

Bella Bloom Fotos opens Downtown storefront Momentum continues with another new business in Historic Downtown Wabash. by Danielle Swan DSmith@thepaperofwabash.com

After two years of photographing clients in her home, Amy Brown’s hobbyturned-career, Bella Bloom Fotos, is settling into a new home at 9 E. Canal St., Wabash. Brown has fostered a love of photography since she was a child. “I used to have the 110 with the little cubes and I lived out in the country and I would take pictures of cats and trees and sheep and my brother and send them away to be developed,” Brown recalls. In her early 20’s, Brown worked at The Paper of Wabash County, which furthered her interest in photography as she captured the happenings of Wabash. As an adult, Brown’s hobby evolved to include photographing her children, Julie and Bradley, who are now 19 and 16 years old, respectively. The hobby began to transform into more of a career when a friend asked Brown to photograph her family. Through word of mouth, people began to take notice of Brown’s photographs. She created a Facebook page, which turned out to be a significant promotional

tool for Bella Bloom Fotos. The page now has more than 4,000 followers. It didn’t take long for Bella Bloom to outgrow Brown’s home. “We were getting so busy and weren’t expecting it at all. When you start having 100 people walk through your living room in a month, it is time to do something different,” she said. Brown immediately determined that Downtown Wabash was the perfect place to house her photography studio. “It’s just a hometown feel down here, not so urban and impersonal like in the strip malls. Strip malls are just kind of cold when you look at the architecture and the people. You can walk by any business owner down here when they are sweeping their sidewalk and they will stop and say hi. That’s really neat,” she said. “Also, I end up Downtown a lot too for the alleys and architecture with the different colors and textures of all of the buildings.” Brown has fond memories of Downtown Wabash in the 1980’s with bustling businesses and the Canal Days festival. “It’s really starting to get the life back into it. You’ve got the coffee shop, you’ve got the ice cream shop at Charley Creek, you’ve got the secondhand stores, you’ve got the bridal store, you’ve got jewelers, you’ve

got photographers, you’ve got the pizza joint, you’ve got the old time barber shop with the striped pole and everything, the little hometown bar where the good old boys hang out,” she said. “All of those things are really connected. Really, if you stop and think about it, it’s diverse but it goes together.” The storefront that Brown selected underwent a complete transformation before she moved in. “There was drywall up on the windows and the door didn’t have glass on it, it was plywood, and above the door was plywood. It was pretty cold and dismal out there. When we walked in, it was very bare, very raw,” she said. When the contractors were finished, the studio had new drywall, wood flooring and a dressing room and bathroom area. One of the unique and functional aspects of the studio is a movable wall that blocks the front window for a private shooting space on one side and a space with natural light flowing in through the window on the other side. The contractors had the work finished in three weeks, but that was not without help from Brown and some of her loyal clients. “The greatest thing about my customer base is that if there’s anything I need, they help me out. I had people here helping me paint that I would not

have known had I not taken their pictures,” she said. “It’s crazy how you do good for people and they do return it no matter what it is.” Brown looks to do good for the community wherever she can. In the past, she has been a part of Help Portrait, an event that takes free photos of those who would not otherwise be able to afford it. She hopes to organize another Help Portrait event to be hosted at her studio. This summer, she is also sponsoring a Little League team, the Bella Bloom Cubs. “Bradley played baseball since before he was born and he went through the Little League program,” Brown said. “A lot of those kids are my kids too because I’ve taken pictures of them so I’m excited about that. I’m going to have my own little ‘bitty bloom’rs’ out there!” The grand opening of Bella Bloom Fotos in it’s new location will be held May 5. Those who drop in that day will have a chance to sign up for a free photo session, and need not be present at the time of the drawing to win. “I’m not sure what else I’m going to do that day yet, but I just want people to come down and see it. To a lot of people, I’ve just been a name

Army Guard Helicopter Unit to train at Grissom Air Reserve Base

Personnel and rotary-wing aircraft from the Army National Guard will train at Grissom ARB for a two-week period as the unit prepares for a deployment to Southwest Asia. More than 130 guardsmen and up to 12 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from the 2-238th General Support Aviation Battalion, Medical Evacuation Unit, which consists of components from Shelbyville and Gary, as well as Frankfort, Ky., will be at Grissom during the April 17 through May 3 time period.

While at Grissom, the 2-238th Medical Evacuation Unit will train in joint aeromedical activities to include the areas of flight operations, aircraft maintenance, flight medics, logistics, communications and ground refueling. The unit will conduct between eight and 12 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter missions each day, including both day and nighttime flights. The UH-60 has a crew of four, including two pilots and two crew chiefs, and has a maximum cruising speed of 160 miles per hour with

a range of approximately 320 miles. Many of the flights will consist of missions traveling between Grissom ARB and Indiana Army National Guard locations in Southern Indiana. Hence, residents of civilian communities should not be surprised to see increased helicopter air traffic in and around Central and North Central Indiana. Utilizing Grissom ARB will provide the Army National Guard unit the opportunity to maximize its training

time and resources in a simulated deployed environment. The 2238th has deployed on previous occasions, most recently to Iraq in 2008 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom where it completed more than 1,200 missions.

AMY BROWN, Bella Bloom Fotos, recently moved her photography business from her home to 9 E. Canal St., Wabash. The grand opening of the new location will be May 5, drop in to register to win a free session. (photo by Danielle Swan) on Facebook or a watermark on somebody else’s picture,” she said. Brown looks forward to continuing to provide outstanding photography services at reason-

able prices. “I don’t have very many pictures of me when I was little because my parents couldn’t afford it. I know in this day in age there are a lot of people who can’t

afford to go to some of the bigger names, but they shouldn’t have to go without,” she said. “I’m just having fun and as long as I make what I made at my last job, I’m happy.”

Agronomist: Corn seeding depth matters, especially in dry soils Corn seeding depth can play an important role in plant germination and could become even more vital if Indiana remains dry in the coming weeks, says a Purdue Extension agronomist. Soil moisture levels and uniformity at planting depth can determine how rapidly and uniformly seeds germinate and eventually emerge. Even so, farmers often are content to leave planters set to the same seeding depth as the previous year - something Bob Nielsen said they might want to reconsider. “Many agronomists agree that a seeding depth of 1.5 to 2 inches is a fairly all-purpose range that works well in most situations,” he said. “However, certain conditions merit consideration of changing seeding depth, the most common of which is soil moisture at seed depth.”

The recent warm, mostly dry weather has helped farmers to complete tillage and herbicide, nitrogen and fertilizer applications, and have sparked optimism about a rapid planting season. In order for that to occur, there would have to be little significant rainfall, which Nielsen said reinforces the need to re-evaluate seeding depth. “Therein lies the challenge this year in choosing the proper seeding depth because soil moisture near the surface is already borderline adequate for seed germination in some fields,” he said. “Planting corn at the usual 1.5- to 2-inch seeding depth might place seed into soil too dry for germination, or even worse, into soil that is unevenly moist and that will result in uneven germination and emergence. “There will be situations where growers

should place seed deeper to minimize the risks of uneven germination.” Nielsen said it’s important to remember that corn is capable of emerging from planting depths much greater than what planters can even plant. Part of the reason farmers hesitate to plant too deeply has to do with the fact that soils in some fields can develop a dense surface crust after heavy rain. That crust can interfere with emergence, and could even lead to seedlings that leaf out underground. “My opinion is that the consequence of surface crusting is mostly influenced by the timing of crust development relative to the timing of the emergence process, and less so by the depth of seeding,” Nielsen said. “In other words, a dense surface crust can impede penetration of the seedling whether

the seed was planted 1.5 inches deep or 3 inches deep if

the

crust develops shortly after planting.” Something

else

farmers need to consider is that adequate seed depth could vary widely

this

year.

Nielsen said the risks and benefits of deep seed placement are influenced by the soil moisture uniformity and temperature at the seed depth, and the 6-10-day rainfall and temperature forecasts. He said a combination of adequate soil moisture today, inadequate

variable

moisture at 2 inches and little or no rainfall expected in the next couple of weeks suggests a seed depth greater than 2 inches might be warranted.

Conservation practices preserve soil, save money Farm conservation practices not only preserve soil and water, but they also can save growers money, says a Purdue Extension agronomist. Techniques such as no-till and sub-surface nutrient banding can keep soils productive, protect nutrients from runoff, lessen the amount of fuel farmers use and reduce labor costs. “Farmers should always keep conservation practices in mind because it’s important to the stewardship of the soils they farm and because it’s important to their economics, whether it’s capital costs, operating costs or the overall labor investment they put into each acre,” Tony Vyn said. While the adoption of no-till soybean systems has been widespread, no-till corn systems have not gained as much momentum. Vyn said that even though notill corn can be successful, there also are other conservation

tillage methods growers can try. “Time and time again we continue to show very good results from no-till and strip-till when corn follows soybeans or wheat in rotation,” he said. “We’ve only been stymied a bit in no-till success for corn following corn on finely textured and poorly drained soils. But, aside from that, it’s been surprising how well the no-till and strip-till systems have done, even in progressively higher residue-producing fields associated with increased crop yields and planting corn at higher plant densities.” Strip tillage is a method that disturbs only ground cover where farmers will actually plant crops. It offers the potential for deep nutrient banding and provides warmer, dryer berms to plant into. Vertical tillage is another option. In this, farmers redistribute surface residue and only shal-

lowly penetrate soils. It helps the near-surface soil dry faster and can allow earlier planting. When it comes to conserving nutrients, tillage systems matter. Broadcast- or surface-applied nutrients have a higher likelihood of runoff, especially during a big rain. Vyn said this could especially be a problem with broadcastapplied phosphorus. “Long-term, systems that conserve nutrients as a whole would be enhanced even more if we began to think through our farming practices to try and deliver more sub-surface banded application, particularly of phosphorus and certainly nitrogen as well,” he said. Applying nutrients sub-surface and adopting no-till also has shown promise in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Vyn said the keys to farmers adopting these conservation

practices are more integrated tillagenutrient systems research, whether in on-farm strip-trials, or in greater detail at university research farms, and using modern technologies, such as tillage and nutrient application equipment, precision automatic guidance, and stress-tolerant crop varieties, all while continuing efforts to make the education and tools more readily available. “If our goals are conservation, reduced costs, carbon sequestration and less greenhouse gas emissions, we need to look at ways to optimize conservation practices to remove the obstacles,” Vyn said. “We need these practices to be rational and we need farmers not to have valid excuses not to adopt them.”
