Commissioners apply for funds for Harrison Avenue bridge rehabilitation by Danielle Smith The Wabash County Board of Commissioners reviewed and signed an application for federal funding presented by County H i g h w a y Superintendent John Martin at their April 18 meeting. The funds will be used to rehabilitate Bridge 510, which crosses Charley Creek at the intersection of Harrison Avenue and Wabash Street. The estimated cost of the project surpassed $1 million. Federal funding will cover 80 percent of the costs, 20 percent will be paid from Wabash County’s Local Bridge Fund. Martin also asked County Attorney Steve Downs to draft an ordinance lowering the speed limit on Hanging Rock Road, near Hanging Rock, to (continued on page 6)

Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Annexation process continues; land involved increases by Shaun Tilghman On April 25, a public hearing will be held at 6 p.m., preceding the scheduled Wabash City Council meeting, to discuss the annexation of almost 270 acres of land, west of SR 13 and north of U.S. 24, into the city. The annexation process began during the City Council meeting on March 28, when members voted unanimously to approve petitions from City of Wabash Mayor Bob Vanlandingham, representing approximately 241 acres of city-owned land, and Kellam, Inc. President Jeff Kellam, representing approximately five acres of land, respectively. Since that time, two additional property owners have requested to be part of the annexation: the owner of the drive-in movie theater located at 890 N. SR 13, representing close to 17 acres of land, and Dick Tracy, owner of

Dick Tracy Auto Sales, 697 W 50 N, representing just over four acres of land, respectively. According to City Attorney Doug Lehman, there are at least three ways to undertake an annexation. “One way is that the city can say it wants to annex a certain area and gives notice to everybody, then they can come in and oppose it,” Lehman said. “The second way is sort of called a voluntary annexation; if a percentage of the number of property owners and a certain percentage of the assessed valuation ask to be annexed, then the city can go through an annexation process and you can also annex ones who were opposed to it. We’re not going to go either of those routes. “The third, which is called a 5.1 C o n s e n s u a l Annexation, is where all of the property

by Danielle Smith Most Wabash residents are unaware that the name of our city has traveled around the world on a group of ships bearing its name. The first USS Wabash was commissioned in 1856, and the fourth and final ship bearing the name, USS Wabash (AOR 5), was commissioned in 1971. The majority of the surviving veterans that served on any of the USS Wabash ships served on the AOR 5, and are veterans of the Vietnam War. Of all the men that served on the ship, only three have actually visited the City of Wabash. Those three

deemed it appropriate to hold the 40th reunion of the USS Wabash shipmates in our town. The USS Wabash (AOR 5) was commissioned in Boston, Mass. Her maiden voyage was a cruise around South America. This cruise would prove to be quite eventful. “They collided with a whale and that was kind of a sad deal because the whale was killed,” said Bud Beery, Kansas, who was stationed on the USS Wabash (AOR 5). “Then they lost an anchor chain at one point.” The ship landed in Long Beach, Calif.,

ANNEXATION: The areas outlined in yellow (above) show approximate boundaries of land that will potentially be annexed into the city within coming months. The four properties, which total almost 270 acres, are located west of SR 13 and north of U.S. 24, and their proposed annexation will be discussed prior to the Wabash City Council meeting on April 25. (image provided) owners of the property to be annexed agree that they want to be annexed. In fact, they sign a petition asking to be annexed – that’s what happened at the March 28 meeting of the City Council.”

Lehman went on to say that they had anticipated the movie theater land to eventually be involved, and they also knew Tracy had been giving it some thought. After the properties

and spent a few years there then went on a cruise of the Western Pacific through Hawaii, Guam and the Phillipines. She then returned to California, docking in Alomeda. “I came on board in November 1976 and I was stationed on the Wabash until August 1980. That was the bulk of my naval career, and I didn’t learn until about 20 years later that they were four of the best years of my life,” Beery said. He went on to elaborate on some of his experiences from the ship. “We went up the Columbia River for the Rose Festival in

Portland, Ore., and we had picked up about 100 civilians at the mouth of the Columbia River to ride with us. The AOR’s have what they call fueling posts and they extend very far out on the sides off the ship. We were coming into the last drawbridge and we collided with the drawbridge with one of our fueling posts and caused a little bit of a ruckus. Thankfully no one was hurt,” Beery related. While the ship and its crew were in Portland, Mount St. Helens erupted for the second time and volcanic ash blanketed

the annexation can come to that meeting and express their thoughts,” Lehman explained. “Then, at the council meeting, after the public hearing has been held, (continued on page 6)

SR 15 restriction in place State Police warn motorists to until late November use caution in construction zones The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Fort Wayne District recently announced SR 15, between Thomas Road and E. 1000 S., will be restricted for a bridge reconstruction project until the expected completion in late November. Motorists should expect the road to be restricted to one lane with a temporary

four-way stop. The project was awarded to Beaty Contractors for the company’s low bid of $1 million. The project begins on the heels of Highway Work Zone Safety Awareness week. On average, four out of every five people killed in highway work zones are drivers or passengers, not highway workers, so INDOT is joining

with traffic safety personnel nationwide to stress “Safer Driving. Safer Work Zones.

To avoid becoming a statistic, INDOT urges drivers to exercise extreme caution while driving through work zones. Additional information can be found at INDOT’s work zone safety website, www.WorkZoneSafety. IN.gov.

The warm temperatures of spring mean the unofficial start of the highway construction season in Indiana. According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), there are over $1.5 billion in new highway projects slated to begin construction throughout the state. This will create the need for numerous construction zones throughout Indiana. These zones will require motorists to constantly observe and be prepared to react to ever changing road conditions.

driving in a construction zone is not only a life threatening hazard to highway workers; it often proves deadly to the motoring public. In 2010, 12 people died and 602 people were injured in work zone crashes throughout Indiana. In an effort to reduce deaths and injuries in work zones, the Indiana State Police have assigned troopers to work overtime in construction zones to aggressively enforce Indiana’s traffic laws. If motorists are stopped for a traffic infraction in a construction zone, they should expect to be issued a citation. Motorists should be warned that steeper fines and penalties await drivers convicted of speeding or reckless driving in a work zone. Signs posted in most work zones warn speeding drivers that they can face fines up to $1,000, reckless or aggressive drivers can face fines up to $5,000,

and drivers whose reckless behavior cause injury or death to a highway worker can face up to 8 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The Indiana State Police encourage all motorists to drive responsibly and voluntarily comply with Indiana’s traffic laws. Troopers offer these tips to keep all workers and drivers in construction zones safe. Watch for orange “Road Construction Ahead” signs and be prepared to react to stopped or slowing traffic. Follow all lane restrictions as posted. Do not tailgate and keep your brakes maintained so you can stop in time. Most injuries and deaths in work zones are caused by rear-end collisions. Obey the posted work zone speed limit. Do not cut other vehicles off or change lanes across solid white lines. Signal all lane changes.

Make sure all occupants in your vehicle are properly secured with a seat belt or child safety seat. Seat belts save lives and help prevent minor crashes from becoming major catastrophes. Do not engage in distracting behavior such as talking on a cell phone, texting, changing radio stations, eating, applying makeup, or talking to passengers. Drivers are encouraged to avoid the congested road conditions often associated with construction zones by seeking alternate routes of travel. Drivers can learn the locations of road construction zones before they depart by calling INDOT’s TrafficWise at 1-800-261-ROAD (7623) or on the Internet at www.TrafficWise.IN.go v. Portable and permanent electronic message signs are also utilized to communicate messages to the public.

Senate Elections Committee approves proposed Senate, Congressional maps On April 14, Indiana’s Senate Committee on Elections voted 6-2 in support of new boundaries for state Senate districts that are more compact and respect most county and township lines while preserving communities of interest and all voting precincts. Members of the elections panel also voted 7-2 in support of Congressional districts, which considered population shifts, communities of interests along with geographical and political boundaries. Both proposals now move to the full Senate for consideration. Sen. Sue Landske (R-Cedar Lake), chair of the committee, said every 10 years the legislature is charged with reviewing state Senate and Congressional districts and implementing changes based on population data received from the federal census. “This year, members of the House and Senate elections committees held nine public hearings throughout the state to gather input on the redistricting process,” Landske said. “At these meetings, Hoosiers continuously called for district boundaries that were more simply shaped, compact and respected communities of

interest. I believe these maps accomplish those goals.” Sen. Connie Lawson (R-Danville), ranking member of the committee, said nearly all of the Senate districts required configuration changes because of significant shifts in populations in various areas of the state. She said in adjusting to these changes, lawmakers used an ideal population of 129,676 for each Senate district. This resulted in a population deviation of less than one percent in 72 percent of the Senate districts. Lawson said new Congressional districts are based on a fixed population of 720,422 Hoosiers. “The committee was successful in creating five Congressional districts with zero deviation and four that are one person over the ideal population for a district,” Lawson said. “The proposed plan for Congressional districts keeps 83 of the 92 counties intact, and the remaining nine are split between two districts.” In addition to drawing more compact districts that respect county and precinct lines while preserving communities of interest, the bipartisan committee worked to ensure they were in complete

Conservation Officers with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources encourage youth turkey hunters participating in the April 23-24 youth season to review the following basic hunting safety guidelines and laws: - Do not load your firearm until ready to use. Always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction, and keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. - Always remember that other hunters or persons may be present in the area. - Choose a hunting position that gives you a good field of view, not only of an approaching turkey, but also of other hunters who may be in the area. - Call out or whistle to other hunters who may approach; never wave or stand up. - Never wear clothing or use accessories that are red, white or blue. A gobbler turkey head can be any and all of these

Farmers should expect stormy, cooler planting season Farmers should avoid rushing into their fields but rather wait for the right conditions as the planting season begins amid forecasts of a stormy and coolerthan-normal spring, a Purdue Extension agronomy specialist advises.

“The main two words for this spring are ‘Be patient,’” Tony Vyn said. Farmers who till and plant their fields only when soil conditions are optimal stand a better chance of being rewarded at harvest with higher yields, Vyn said. At a

time when commodity prices are so high, he said some farmers might be too anxious to start planting their potentially highest gross-income corn crop ever. “Although it is understandable that corn farmers want to plant the bulk of their intended acreage in a timely manner, minimizing their risk of yield-limiting planting delays should not be their top concern in April,” he said. At this point, limiting soil compaction in and below the seedbed is most important, Vyn said. Running tillage equipment and planters on soaked

fields can compact the soil, limit corn root growth when it dries, and reduce yields and, therefore, income. “Do not rush soil preparation and planting where rooting ability will be impaired,” Vyn said. “Be kind to your soil this year. It is your livelihood.” Stormy weather that Indiana and other northern cornbelt states endured over the winter is expected to continue, according to the Indiana State Climatologist Dev Niyogi. The culprit is La Niña, whose cool Pacific Ocean air continues to stir up storms across the northern states. Because many soils were saturated during the winter, continued storms from La Niña will increase the chances of flooding this spring. Although La Niña is expected to weaken later in the spring, cool and wet conditions in northern states could extend into early summer because of lingering wet soils. Drought that had gripped Indiana since last fall has ended because of the La Niña-driven snow and rain over the winter. Most of the northern half of the state, how-

(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service image) ever, still was abnormally dry in early April. Vyn said Indiana farmers should not determine their need for planting progress by what they achieved last year, when planting and harvest were unusually early; an early start does not necessarily result in a bigger crop. Last year, 71 percent of the corn crop was planted by the first week of May, with farmers ultimately harvesting an average of 157 bushels per acre. At the same point in 2009, however, farmers had planted only 5 percent of corn, but yields averaged 171 bushels per acre – a record. “Just because you’re delayed somewhat compared with 2010 or more normal years such as 2005 to 2008 doesn’t automati-

cally mean you’re limiting yield potential,” he said. Corn yields depend more on weather conditions during flowering and early grain fill. Vyn said he would not be too concerned with planting progress until the first week of May, when half of the corn crop typically is planted. He is even less concerned about soybeans at this time because planting for that crop usually lags two weeks behind corn. Much of the preplanting field preparation work, such as primary tillage and bulk nutrient or lime applications, has been done in Indiana, Vyn said. Some corn planting began the first weekend of April. Vyn encouraged farmers to read publi-

cations that can help them better manage their field operations, such as how to use nitrogen fertilizer most effectively. “While farmers are waiting for their soils to dry before planting, they should doublecheck whether they have planned for sufficient nitrogen fertilizer,” he said. “In many farms, pre-plant nitrogen has already been applied, but more will soon be applied on other farms that apply pre-emerge or side-dress nitrogen.” Indiana farmers and crop consultants can read an update on nitrogen management guidelines for Indiana at http://www.agry.purdue.edu/ext/corn/ne ws/timeless/Nitroge nMgmt.pdf

University Business magazine honors IPFW

Indiana UniversityPurdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) is one of 11 colleges and universities nationwide recognized by University Business magazine’s ‘Models of Efficiency’ program – a program sponsored by Higher One, a company that assists in college business office operations. The Models of Efficiency program recognizes innovative approaches for streamlining higher education operations through technology or business process improvements. “Efficient business operations translate into better experiences for students and administrators alike, and the Models of

Efficiency program aims to encourage schools to prioritize service,” said Tim Goral, editor-in-chief of University Business. “Indiana U n iv e r s i t y - P u r d u e University Fort Wayne stands out for developing a very effective solution to a challenging situation.” The university created a student-based call center to help field countless calls to the financial aid offices that flood the school in the summer months as students, especially incoming freshman, call with questions. Summer is normally a busy time for the financial aid offices with numbers to verify, packages to assemble and distrib-

ute and appeals to handle. Added to these tasks are innumerable phone calls that leave callers on hold for as much as 20 minutes and distract financial aid officers from processing other tasks. “After 20 years in financial aid, at some point every August you say, ‘What if we could actually do the work instead of answering phones?’” said Judith Cramer, director of financial aid at the university. IPFW modeled a successful corporate initiative, where companies utilize call centers to free up staff and handle inquiries less expensively. Instead of outsourcing to an external firm in another state

or even overseas, the university turned to a resource deeply familiar with the institution and the financial aid process – its own students. With a physical office equipped with phones, workstations and appropriate technology, along with two weeks of training for students, the call center began to function in the summer of 2010. Quantitatively, the initiative was hugely successful, driving telephone wait times from 40 minutes to less than two. The cost of paying students was offset by not having to pay staff overtime for the extra work that had been required. “From all over cam-

pus we heard, ‘Wow, you must be doing something right, because the students are just not as stressed as they usually are,’” said Cramer. “And we replied, ‘Neither are we.’ It’s gratifying to be recognized as a Model of Efficiency.” Models of Efficiency is an ongoing recognition program. Schools can participate in upcoming rounds by visiting www.universitybusiness.com/modelsofefficiency. The program is sponsored by Higher One, a leading company focused on helping college business offices manage operations and provide enhanced service to students.

plan, which outlines services the city will be providing to them and the timeframe they can expect to receive those services, then they have 13 days to submit a withdrawal of their consent. The annexation ordinance has to be approved at two meetings, so if it is approved in the first meeting, and no one withdraws their consent based on the fiscal plan, then anytime after the 14th day the council can hear the ordinance for second reading – if it is passed after second reading the territory is annexed. “If someone submits a withdrawal between the first reading and the second we will write them out of the ordinance,” Lehman added, “but we don’t anticipate any withdrawals. It is the intent of the city to only annex the properties that want to be annexed. If they become annexed then they are entitled to the same services that other citizens of the city receive, specifically police and fire protection from the city, connection with the city sewer system, and use of the city library without having to pay a fee; residences would

also be entitled to trash pick-up. The city expects to benefit by getting the land it has purchased for the business park within city limits. “At the time we purchased [this land], it was outside the city limits. The city had authority to purchase land outside city limits but obviously you want your business park clients to be within city limits because one reason we’re looking to attract business here is to expand the tax base. Most businesses are going to want fire service from a fire department that is fullymanned 24 hours a day, and they’re going to want police protection from the city police department, which has pretty good coverage 24 hours a day.” Va n l a n d i n g h a m added, “If a factory or a business comes into the business park they’re going to expect fire service and police service, and that’s one of the advantages of getting people to come. I have not had contact with any individuals, with the exception of Jeff Kellam. I talked to Jeff and he realizes his taxes are going to go up, but he also realizes the importance of being in the city. “Jeff has been a

strong proponent of economic development for the city, and in fact, he sits on the [ E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County] board. As far as I’m concerned, Jeff stepped up to the plate and did something he felt very strongly about that will also benefit the community – that was very much appreciated on the city’s part.” Before the formal process was started, much time was spent researching the services that would be provided and developing the actual fiscal plan. The formal part of the process takes about 60 days, but the overall process takes about 3-4 months, Lehman said. “After everything is done, things have to be recorded,” he continued, “there have to be publications in the newspapers, and there is a short time in which neighboring property owners can object if they believe there isn’t enough contiguity between the old city limits and the property being annexed. Since it’s a consensual annexation, the only basis anybody else would ever have of objecting to it would be if we didn’t have enough common boundary between the

current city limits and the newly acquired property.” W h i l e Vanlandingham says he can’t and won’t speak for the City Council, he feels they have been very supportive all along, especially in terms of the business park. “We’re going about this in a manner in which we’re not forcing people to do things,” he continued, “we’re trying to work with people and we’re trying to do what we think is best for the community. I think the process we’ve chosen to do takes a little bit longer than trying to force people to do things, but again we’re trying to do this in the right manner. “We have 240 acres of prime land for a business park, and for our community to keep growing and improving the way we have we need to get jobs, because jobs are the most important thing we need in this community right now. This is simply the process to get our business park into the city and we’re trying to do it in the right manner by not forcing anyone into something they don’t want.”

Wabash to host 40th anniversary reunion of USS Wabash... Continued from front page

THE USS WABASH (AOR 5) was in Portland, Ore., for the Rose Festival when Mount St. Helens erupted for the second time. Bud Beery will bring some of the ashes from that eruption to the upcoming reunion. (photo provided)

THE WABASH COUNTY HISTORICAL MUSEUM houses a USS Wabash display featuring various items from the ship and newspaper articles about the ship. (photo provided) the decks. Beery saved some of the ash and he will bring it to the reunion with him. “A lot of interesting things happened on the ship, I guess you would call it my college dorm and my workplace and everything all built into one for almost four years,” Beery said. The USS Wabash (AOR 5) was decommissioned and is currently in Suisun Bay in Richmond, Calif., waiting for final disposition. Most likely, the ship will be scrapped but there is another alternative – the ship could be reefed. “That would mean they would clean the ship up and find a place offshore to intentionally sink the ship to where marine life can attach to it and grow and also divers could dive on the ship for leisure,” Beery said. “The downside is that there are two other ships ahead of us to be reefed so we’re kind of at a headwind.” The USS Wabash veterans have held reunions every other year, all over the country. In 2010, their reunion was held in San Diego, Calif., but they elected to have a consecutive reunion in 2011 to commemorate the ship’s 40th

anniversary. Whitney Myers, executive director of the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau, expects the group to number about 50 veterans plus their spouses. The veterans will arrive in town on April 28 and will assemble in the lobby of Charley Creek Inn for a meet and greet. They will have the evening to explore the city and have dinner. April 29 will begin with a visit to the

Wabash County Historical Museum. “The museum has a

large collection upstairs of USS Wabash stuff,” Whitney Myers told The Paper. “The girl who broke the bottle on the ship to christen it is from Wabash so we have a picture of that, which ran in a newspaper.” The veterans also plan to donate some items to the museum to enlarge the USS Wabash display. The day will continue with visits to the Dr. James Ford Historic Home and various locations downtown. At 5 p.m., they will meet at All Occasions for a banquet and memorial service for their fallen shipmates. They have invited Mayor Bob Vanlandingham and staff from the museum, Heather Allen and Tracy Stewart, to attend this banquet. Following the banquet, they will hold a live auction of memorabilia including USS Wabash coffee cups, signal flashlights, 1945 stamps, German items from World War II and much more. “One of the really cool things they have is a mess hall table from the USS

Grocery prices continue slow climb according to recent study "

Welcome To Our 10 th Year of Business

& % #

%#% # # $#

#% # # 3616

Grocery store prices increased during the first quarter of 2011, according to the latest market basket survey from Indiana Farm Bureau. The total cost of the food items in the informal survey was $47.20, up $1.97 or about 4 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Of the 16 items surveyed, 13 increased in average price while three decreased compared to the prior quarter. The Indiana survey is part of a nationwide survey compiled by the American Farm Bureau Federation from data supplied by state Farm Bureaus. A total of 71 shoppers in 29 states participated in the latest survey, conducted in February. Twenty-three volunteer shoppers participated in the Indiana survey. AFBFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey had results similar to those found in Indiana, showing a total cost of $49.07, up $2.10 or about 4 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.

Despite the increase, though, food prices remain below those of 2008 when the market basket hit a new record price of $50.70 for the 16 items. The reasons for the increase in food prices, said a Purdue University agricultural economist, are grain shortages, Middle East turmoil and extreme weather in critical crop-producing regions. These have combined to send retail food prices higher this year, explained Corinne Alexander. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we buy our groceries each week we notice even the smallest increases but we forget all the non-food costs that affect that increase â&#x20AC;&#x201C; packaging, transportation, processing and utilities to name a few, all of which are affected by our increasing petroleum prices,â&#x20AC;? said IFB 2nd Vice President Isabella Chism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the long run, increasing our energy independence could in the long run have a positive effect on food prices as

well as fuel prices.â&#x20AC;? In the Indiana survey, sliced deli ham, flour, shredded cheddar cheese, orange juice and ground chuck increased the most in dollar value compared to the fourth quarter of 2010: Ham increased 73 cents to $5.52/pound, flour increased 42 cents to $2.53 per 5-pound bag, shredded cheese increased 38 cents to $4.02 per pound, orange juice 37 cents to $3.26 for a half gallon and ground chuck increased 33 cents to $3.10 per pound. Other items that increased in price since the fourth-quarter survey were vegetable oil, up 29 cents to $2.90 per 32-ounce bottle; potatoes, up 22 cents to $2.81/pound; cereal, up 13 cents to $2.99 per 10-ounce box; apples, up 11 cents to $1.52/pound; boneless chicken breasts, up 9 cents to $3.27/pound; white bread, up 4 cents to $1.55 per 20-ounce loaf; sirloin tip roast, up 2 cents to $3.81/pound; and eggs,

up 2 cents to $1.57/dozen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As anticipated, the increased consumer demand for meats and dairy products that began in 2009 and continued through 2010 remains evident as we look forward to the middle of 2011,â&#x20AC;? said John Anderson and economist with the American Farm Bureau Federation. Despite the overall increase in dairy prices in Indiana and nationwide, whole milk was one of the three items that decreased in price on the Indiana survey, dropping by 20 cents to $2.85/gallon. The largest decrease was bagged salad, which dropped by 62 cents to $1.91 for a 1-pound bag. Bacon also decreased, dropping by 36 cents to $3.60 per pound. Most items showing an increase in retail price from quarter-toquarter also showed year-to-year increases. Compared to one year ago, sliced deli ham was up by 88 cents, potatoes by 66 cents, bacon by 63 cents, ground chuck by 62 cents, flour by 55, orange juice by 47 cents and boneless chicken breasts by 42 cents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retail price increases for some foods are likely to continue throughout the year, as it takes time for farmers to increase the size of their herds to a c c o m m o d a t e increased demand,â&#x20AC;? Anderson explained. Although the market basket survey is informal and intended to represent only a snapshot of Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grocery store prices, the year-to-year direction of the market basket survey tracks with the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Consumer Price Index

( w w w. b l s . g o v / c p i ) report for food at home. The Farm Bureau market basket also tracks with the trends noted by ag economist Corinne Alexander. American consumers can expect to spend about 4 percent more for food this year than in 2010, she said, adding that beef, pork and poultry products likely will see even greater price hikes. U.S. food price inflation reached 7.5 percent in September 2008 before falling in November 2009. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been moving back up ever since, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re returning to a period of food price inflation after coming off a period where we saw food price deflation,â&#x20AC;? Alexander said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect this to be a long-term, permanent higher food price period. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see these higher food prices until we rebuild global stocks of the primary crops.â&#x20AC;? As retail grocery prices have increased gradually over time, the share of the average food dollar that Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm and ranch families receive has dropped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the mid-1970s, farmers received about one-third of consumer retail food expenditures for food eaten at home and away from home, on average,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson of the AFBF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since then, that figure has decreased steadily and is now about 16 percent, according to the A g r i c u l t u r e Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revised Food Dollar Series.â&#x20AC;?

Laketon American Legion honors members

Laketon American Legion, Auxiliary and S.A.L. #402 recently celebrated the 92nd anniversary of the American Legion with a dinner serving 85 members and guests, from tables decorated with red, white and blue candles and other patriotic decorations. The program included Fifth District Commander Jerry Stevens describing the POW/MIA table set for one, symbolizing the fact that members of our armed forces are missing from our ranks. They are referred to as POWs and MIAs. Stevens

also spoke on the importance of membership and because of declining numbers the Legion is finding it more difficult to be heard by the Congress on the needs of veterans, their families and particularly funding for boys and girls entering college. The featured speaker was Paul Steward, Indiana’s National E x e c u t i v e Committeeman, a member of Middlebury Post 210. He reviewed the early days of the American Legion founding, happenings through the different war eras to the programs promoted, today, for the bene-

fit of the veteran, the youth and our communities. Post Commander Ron Bonewitz presented ‘Life Memberships’ to 65 continuous year members, Robert ‘Bob’ Rager and Charles Shaffer Jr., the two remaining Post #402 charter members, of the original 34. A PUFL lapel pin was presented to a 65 continuous year member, Dorlan Wagner. Other Post members recognized for continuous membership were: Otto Wolfe, Past Commander, 40 years, and Robert ‘Bob’ Haecker, Past

Commander, 25 years (in attendance). Others receiving certificates were: Dennis Rohrer, 55 years; Jon Butler, 45 years; Kerry Daine, 40 years; Glen Dazey, 30 years; and Joe Gaerte, 25 years. A Charter Draping Ceremony was held for two Post members lost this year, Wilson Eugene McCullough and Randy Day. Auxiliary President Linda Torpy, assisted by Department Auxiliary President C a r o l y n Cunningham, presented continuous year certificates to: Carol Dick, 55 years; Margaret Cartwright,

Indiana becoming international model for grain storage

Indiana’s grain warehouse regulatory system has been used as a national model for years, but now it is getting international attention. The Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) will welcome a delegation of Serbian experts from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water M a n a g e m e n t (MAFWM). The Serbian delegation has chosen Indiana’s system as the model they will try to follow as they implement a grain warehouse receipts system of their own. “We know Indiana is a national leader in agriculture, but it’s rewarding to see our influence spread across the globe,” said Lt. Governor Skillman, who serves as Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and has led four international trade missions for the agriculture industry. “This speaks volumes about the progressive system in place right here in Indiana.” Adopted in 1997, Indiana’s Grain Indemnity Fund insures farmers who store grain at licensed warehouses in much the same way as FDIC insures bank deposits. The fund is so efficient that farmers have not had to pay into it since 1998. Michigan has adopted a law nearly identical to Indiana. Other states, including Missouri and Texas,

are also looking at Indiana’s model. Serbia, which has passed grain warehousing laws, has sought out leaders from Indiana and Michigan to help implement their new system. Indiana Grain Buyers and Warehouse Licensing Agency Director Jermone Hawkins traveled to Serbia from March 12-26. On that trip, Hawkins provided training to a group of Serbian warehouse inspectors and presented to them the best practices from the Indiana. He also provided input to the warehouse operations manual and inspector’s manual. The trip was at no cost to the State of Indiana as all expenses were covered by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Food and A g r i c u l t u r e Organization of the United Nations (FAO). While here in Indiana, the

Delegation will tour Purdue University and Kelsay Farms. They will also meet with Lt. Governor Skillman before they attend further meetings with Indiana Grain Buyers staff and representatives from Indiana Corn Marketing Council and Indiana Soybean Alliance. The complete itinerary is below. “We look forward to welcoming our Serbian guests and returning the gracious hospitality we received,” said Indiana Agriculture Director Joe Kelsay. “This is a tremendous opportunity to share our knowledge of our grain warehouse receipts system and indemnity fund that has successfully provided financial protection to Hoosier farmers for decades.” Indiana will welcome Serbian delegates: Mr. Aleksandar Davidov, assistant director of General Inspectorate of

owner John Detzler hopes that it will be available by the first weekend in May. According to Detzler, there are many reasons why adding a second screen, which is located to the south of the original screen, will prove worthwhile. “The main reason is that it will make the drive-in more valuable as a business, which will hopefully help in its longevity,” he explained. “When you get new releases you’re required by the company to hold them a minimum of two weeks – in certain situations we’ve held them as long as four weeks, and when your season is only 24-25 weeks long that’s a good percentage of your season. “The second screen will allow us to

Lakeland Art Gallery to sponsor Asian Brush Painting Workshop An Asian Brush Painting Workshop will be sponsored by Lakeland Art Gallery, 107 N. First St., Pierceton, on May 14. The class will be approximately three hours, beginning at 10 a.m. Bonnie Gore, of Artsy Stuff Studio in Warsaw, will be the instructor. All supplies will be provided and will include India ink, newsprint, rice paper and sumie brushes. Individuals interested in attending the workshop may phone the Gallery at 574-594-9950. Make your reservations early as space is limited.

The workshop will concentrate on painting two of the four Asian Gentlemen: bamboo and orchid in the sumi style of Asian painting. No art experience is required. Participan ts just need to be prepared to drink a little tea, enjoy a relaxing and spiritual time and take home a sumi-e painting or two. Sumi means black ink and e stands for path, street or road as well as art of painting. The Freestyle Art of Ink Painting consists of powerfully hushed, quickly dashed off lines. What is only

indicated or even omitted is often more important and more expressive than what is actually painted. The austerity of means and the reduction to essential is the heart of Sumi-e painting. The paintings of bamboo and orchids are more of a brief sketch capturing the essence of the subjects. The Four Gentlemen evolved from the high art of Chinese calligraphy and are used throughout the Asian cultures as powerful subjects to paint that represent the spirit and simplicity of this style of painting as well as

Indiana State Police offer planting season driving tips

The Indiana State Police would like to remind citizens that the farm-planting season is upon us and often requires large farm machinery to be on the road. This requires drivers in

rural areas to be alert to the possibility of encountering slow moving farm machines. Motorists should be prepared to slow or stop to avoid a collision with a farm machine turning into

a field or driveway. Tips for farmers and rural drivers: - Farm machinery can unexpectedly turn onto a public road from a field or driveway. It is important for everyone to

have patience and share the road. - Farm machinery travels slower than normal traffic, often at speeds of 25 miles per hour or less. Automobile drivers must quickly identify

farm equipment and slow down immediately to avoid rear end crashes. - Slow moving farm machinery, traveling at less than 25 miles per hour, are required to display a slow moving vehicle emblem on the back of the equipment. This is a quickly identifiable sign to other motorists. All lighting should be working properly and be highly visible. - Slow moving vehicles are required to pull off to the right when three or more vehicles are blocked and cannot pass on the left.

- Machinery that is half on the road and half on the shoulder may suddenly move completely onto the road. Machinery may take up more than one lane to avoid obstacles such as road signs. Before passing farm machinery: - Check to be sure that machinery is not turning left. Look for left turn lights or hand signals. If the machinery slows and pulls toward the right side of the road, the operator is likely preparing to make a wide left turn. Likewise, sometimes to make a right turn with wide equipment,

the driver must fade to the left. - Determine if the road is wide enough for you and the machinery to safely share. - Look for roadside obstacles such as mailboxes, bridges, or road signs that may cause the machinery to move to the center of the road. - Be sure there is adequate distance for you to safely pass. Extra patience, careful driving habits, and the use of highly visible markings, and lighting will help prevent crashes involving farm machines and automobiles.

Minors charged in connection with vandalism Wabash Free Will Baptist On June 5, 2010, at around 3:30 p.m., Pleasant Township Fire Department, Grant County S h e r i f f ’ s Department and the Marion Fire D e p a r t m e n t responded to a reported structure fire in the area of 2235 W 500 N, Marion. The building contained a large bar, kitchen, entertainment and office area, and sat back about a half-mile from the road. It is secluded in a heavily wooded area. The building is home to a secret society called La Societe de 40 Hommes Et 8, known locally as the 40 & 8 social club. Membership in the 40 & 8 is by invitation only. The non-profit

organization raises money to buy gifts for needy children and help with college tuitions. The building had been broken into, cabinets were open and contents thrown out, memorabilia and old framed photos were knocked down and thrown to the floor. Tables, chairs and stools were overturned, trophies and clocks broken, a commercial popcorn machine was knocked over. The building had been ransacked, some alcohol had been stolen and then the building was set on fire. The fire caused over $14,000 in damage. The investigation by Pleasant

Township Fire Department and Marion Fire Department has now been concluded. Over two dozen interviews took place. It has been determined that four juveniles and two adults were present at the 40 & 8 when the crime took place. None of those being charged were members of the club; however, one had camped out at the club with his parents around two years ago. Those being charged all live in Grant County. The crime took place between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m. Their ages at the time of the crime were one age 15, three age 17 and two age 18. Charges

In addition, several other members shared memories of early chapter meetings and activities. The meeting theme was a tea party so members wore spring attire including hats and gloves. Members attending from Wabash County were Victoria Eastman, Judy Ward, Brenda Landis and Nancy Kolb. During the meeting, information was distributed regarding pending legislation dealing with education. Members were encouraged to stay informed and contact their legislators. Also, information was shared regarding nominations for the grants-in-aid and scholarship opportunities. A “pound” auction was conducted by Barb Overdeer, which raised money for an International Project.

Money was also collected to support the Change for a Change project to help individuals pay for taking the GED test. Members were

WPD advises residents of moped, scooter regulations

Let me take you on a tour of our district. Let’s start at Southwood Elementary School. Many teachers there are moving more of their curriculum to Interactive Whiteboards. This technology provides a much more engaging experience for students. Teachers are also having students create year-long digital portfolios. These portfolios are preserved on CDs at the end of the year so that students may keep a digital copy of their work at Southwood Elementary. Teachers here have also been incorporating a mobile set of laptops in their daily lessons. The students use the laptops to perform research and create online presentations to share their learning with not only their classmates, but the world. Metropolitan School District of Wabash County has a number of exciting announcements that will have a positive impact on education. The district received the highly sought after Classroom Innovation Grant. The Board Of Education recently announced its decision to not charge tuition to students living outside the district boundaries. The Classroom Innovation Grant was given to only 22 school districts in the state of Indiana. 135 districts applied and MSD of Wabash County was excited to be one of those districts. Metro schools have pushed the use of technology as a way to enhance student learning. Gary Bates, Learning Technology Specialist with the Indiana Department of Education, visits our district regularly. As he has toured to observe technology being used by students he has commented that watching our district grow in its use of technology has been like watching the growth of a grandchild. “You are involved day to day and think you need to move faster. I see the huge strides you make because I am only visiting every few months.” This grant for $200,000.00 will bring us closer to offering students a learning environment where they have the opportunity to have a laptop for their own use. Students will be able to use more iPod Touch devices as well as other mobile devices. Often, I hear adults talk about how they did not need technology when they went to school and their education was fine without it. That was true for that time. It is not true now. Our students need to be ready to compete with the best and brightest students in the United States and globally. Students in China download YouTube broadcasts of class lectures from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on their iPhones. They are readying themselves to take jobs and college placements from our students. Even though we are a small, rural Indiana school district the internet and use of technology levels the playing field. We can be competitive. In fact, we are competitive. Northfield High School students swept into Tech Fest at Sweetwater Sound in Fort Wayne on April 16, 2011 and won $5,000.00 in scholarships. Our students were the top finishers in every event they entered.

small communities overseas to improve their agricultural outputs or gardening practices. Thus Christian groups, both urban and rural, in the U.S. working with Christian indigenous partners overseas impact the worldwide food supply and communities and individuals in particular benefit. The Farmer’s Market in North Manchester will also

Teachers at Southwood High School have been busy creating an online learning environment through Moodle, a free Learning Management System. Moodle provides a centralized location for teachers to warehouse classroom documents, forums for discussions on topics being learned in the classrooms, journals - which provide an online space for students to reflect on their learning and receive feedback from the teachers, online polls to quickly check for basic understanding, and online quizzes that are graded at the moment of completion - thus giving the students instant feedback when interest is at its highest. The Social Studies department has completed two video projects using the Apple lab. These projects consisted of students synthesizing the unit of student into a twominute video in order to demonstrate their understanding. These projects were fantastic! LaFontaine Elementary is moving more of their curriculum to Interactive Whiteboards. They have also been using Accelerated Math very effectively. Accelerated Math provides year-long differentiated math practice, thus providing the opportunity for students to excel at their own pace. All of the teachers at LaFontaine Elementary are utilizing Moodle as well. Metro North Elementary has been busy moving more of their curriculum to digital format through Interactive Whiteboards. Pod 3 has been incorporating a mobile set of laptops in their daily lessons. Many of the teachers at Metro North are also implementing Moodle in their weekly lesson plans. Students at Metro North Elementary have created videos that were anonymously published to YouTube.

It’s that time of year, when mopeds and scooters will be out in force. Owners of these vehicles need to be aware of the laws that govern their use. A moped (motorized bicycle) is less than two horsepower and is manufactured not to exceed 25 miles per hour. The operator must be at least 15 years of age with a helmet and a valid identification. If it is a manufactured to go over 25 miles per hour on a flat surface and has a horsepower rating of at least two horsepower, it is a scooter. Under Indiana law, scooters need to be registered, insured and the operator is required to have a motorcycle endorse-

ment on his or her license. Anyone on the scooter under the age of 18 must have a helmet. Owners and users of these vehicles can contact a distributor or the manufacturer for the horsepower and speed rating. The laws are based on manufacturer’s specifications. Several persons feel they have purchased mopeds when in fact they are operating a scooter. If you are in an accident with a scooter and are not insured, chances are your driver’s license will be suspended. As it is with any motor vehicle operated on the highways you need to be aware of the laws that govern its use.

Sharp Creek Elementary utilizes their mobile set of laptops on a daily basis. Many classrooms have a Moodle page to provide online activities to students. Teachers here have also been incorporating United Streaming - an online collection of images and videos to provide unique and highly effective background knowledge for students. Northfield High School has been piloting the use of iPod Touches in a few scenarios. This pilot has been well received by both teachers and students. Both Southwood High School and Northfield High School have been piloting a classroom set of Apple iPads - tablet computers - in a science classroom. The teachers and students have really appreciated these devices and feel they are very effective for instruction. The CAD class at Northfield is using robotics - giving students an opportunity to test their programming and logic skills as these robots are to move and turn inside a specific path. Both of our high schools are also using NovaNet - an online credit recovery program. Many of our schools are also using Skype - a free service that allows our classrooms to connect to experts across the globe. As an example, the history club at Southwood High School contacted a teacher in Egypt during the midst of their historical events. You can't find that in a textbook! The M. S. D. Board of Education voted to no longer charge tuition to students living outside the district’s boundaries as long as those students are enrolled before count day. Count day occurs in the middle of September. We believe there are a number of families who wish to have their children attend one of our schools or continue to attend our schools. Since the state took over school districts’ general funds we receive nearly the entire of amount of money needed to fund each child’s education. If a child is not here on count day we do not receive any money for that student, thus necessitating the need for tuition. There is no change for students moving into the district at any time during the year. There is no tuition because they reside within district boundaries. Any parent wishing to have their child attend one of our schools needs to contact the district office at 260-563-8050 (Extension #6). MSD of Wabash County is proud of the quality of education it offers. Our staff has designed outstanding educational opportunities to meet the needs of individual students. We want to build character and capacity – character to do the right thing and the capacity to do things right. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact my office.

JUST A THOUGHT: “Value is not made of money, but a tender balance of expectation and longing.” ~ Barbara Kingsolver, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life T H E L A F O N TA I N E LIONS will provide Free Eye Testing for children ages 2-5 during the annual Easter Pancake & Sausage Breakfast on April 23. Young children cannot tell adults that they are having vision problems because they see their vision as normal. The Free Eye Testing takes a picture of your children’s eyes. The picture is sent to a doctor who will review the pictures. Parents will receive a letter if the doctor sees anything abnormal. Plan to bring your child or grandchild to the L a F o n t a i n e Community Building on April 23, from 8 to 11 a.m. The breakfast will be held during these same hours. The breakfast is offered on

a free-will donation basis. Proceeds from the breakfast will go towards a new roof. Don’t miss this chance to have your children’s eyes examined free and to support your community. EASTER EGG HUNT: There will be an Easter Egg Hunt at L a F o n t a i n e Elementary School at 10 a.m. for children that are in the fourth grade and under.

Stop in, say hello to the Circle K and Snack Shack crews, buy a tenderloin sandwich or two and support a good cause while you’re at it. Remember, as Bob would say, it’s always a great day at Circle K! L A F O N TA I N E AREA BUSINESSES: As a part of the Riley Children’s Hospital fundraiser, Circle K employees will deliver your group’s order of hand-breaded tenderloins on April 22 only, for no additional charge.

Breakfast conversations are always interesting and usually revolve around current events or stories remembered from earlier years. This morning the conversation was about how many families used to eat squirrels and rabbits, which led to stories on how they hunted rabbits. One person said they had a neighbor who hunted rabbits with a spoke from a wagon wheel; another told how they put a sack across one end of a road culvert, used a stick to pound on the other end of the culvert, and then “bagged” the rabbits. No one would say how the rabbits were actually killed but left that to each one’s imagination.

Senior Town Crestwood Village residents enjoy Easter party

MARGUERITE BAKER, 92, was the winner of the dress-up contest held during the Senior Town / Crestwood Village Easter Party held April 12. Baker won the contest by donning her wedding dress. Attendees each left with nearly $50 worth of gifts. (photo provided)

by Danielle Smith Janice Snyder, a resident of Senior Town Crestwood Village Apartments, recently set out to host an Easter party for her neighbors. “I wanted to have a party here to get everyone out after the winter,” Snyder explained. She posted a sign-up sheet and asked residents to write down three things they would like to have. Responses included carwash gift certificates, gas cards, a coffee warmer, a frozen pizza, a car and

more. Snyder and a friend then proceeded to collect donations from local businesses. These businesses included: Brett Ravenscroft, Bob Elzey, David Deepe (Easter Bunny), Gary and Susan Hunter, Stan and Kelly Eviston, Steve and Billy Jo Stamper, Steve Weir, American Family Insurance, Brandt’s HarleyDavidson, Bowman’s Candies, Crossroads Bank, Dollar General Store on Cass Street, Dora Christian

Reynolds Oil Co. Inc., Reading Room Books, Rick’s Auto, State Farm Insurance Todd Adams, State Farm Insurance Brian Mallow, Wabash Little League Bingo, Wabash Vault and

Monument Sales and some that declined to be named. With the help of these local businesses, Snyder and her friend were able to send each of the approximately 20 attendees home with nearly $50 worth of gifts. “Everyone went home with a bag of Easter candy and a bag of fruit and everyone got different gifts from their list,” Snyder said. One resident received an angel food cake; another received a basket full

of 25 Easter eggs, each containing a $1 bill. Other highlights of the party included the Easter Bunny, a Senior Town Crestwood Village resident, delivering cases of soda and a dress-up contest. Marguerite Baker won the dress-up contest by wearing her wedding dress. Snyder summed up the event by saying, “This was the best thing we’ve ever had here.”

According to Dickerson, he and his staff were visiting Arc locations throughout the state to celebrate The Arc and increase awareness of the work being done on behalf of people with disabilities in Indiana. During his visit to Wabash, Dickerson shared The Arc’s new logo and tagline, “Achieve with us.” He then explained that the intent of the new design is to communicate the collective power of The

Arc and the energy and determination The Arc brings to supporting and embracing people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families across the arc of their lifetimes. Arc of Wabash County Executive Director Nancy Hoffman stated that there are “over 700 state and local Arc organizations throughout the United States, and when all are combined we are one of the largest organizations in the country. We are definitely the largest, national, community-based organization that advocates for and serves people with intellectual and

developmental disabilities.” Arc of Wabash County has been serving people with disabilities in the Wabash community since 1954 and presently serves about 100 individuals and their families on a daily basis yearround. Services include: Pre-vocational / Sheltered Work P r o g r a m s , C o m m u n i t y Employment (placement, on the job training, and follow-along support), Community Integration Training, Supported Living Services, Residential Transportation, Recreation and Leisure Programs, Counseling and Advocacy, General Social
