The gift of blood Exceptional donors to the American Red Cross

Richard E. Ford (photo provided) by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Wednesday, April 16, Wabash lost one of its most respected and beloved residents, Richard E. Ford. He was 75. Ford was known throughout the community, state, and country for his propensity to give. While many know of his contributions to the Wabash community, his philanthropic efforts were without borders. With the news of his passing, a somber cloud of mourning seemed to pass over Wabash. It is a rare occasion when a man’s death has such an impact on even those who never met him. The news of his death was the second most read story ever posted to The Paper’s Facebook page, totaling nearly 10,000 views. Those who knew him best understand that Mr. Ford would not have wanted anyone to make a fuss over his death. The same was true of his achievements and charitable contributions. He did nothing for fame; he was often embarassed by the well-deserved recognition he received. As a close friend noted, “Nobody was a nobody to Richard. Everybody was somebody to listen to. Everybody was important.” Ford has been called a modern-day Mark Honeywell. He was a “Distinguished Citizen” of two cities, a “Sagamore of the Wabash,” and a former “Living Legend.” He was an enthusiastic preservationist, a philanthropist, a champion for the arts, and a lover of history and music. He will be dearly missed.

Richard E. Ford’s full obituary can be found on page 18.

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Red Cross is seeking volunteers, not only to donate blood, which is always a great need, but they also are looking for Disaster Action Team members. Tracy Fox, Communications Manager for the American Red Cross, and Heidi Vandermark, Community Outreach specialist at the North Central Indiana Chapter of the American Red Cross, talked with The Paper about the needs here in Wabash County and a few community members who should be commended for their donations. The Paper contacted the American Red Cross, seeking out a few of our county’s top blood donors. Some of the top donors in Wabash County have given between 19-32 gallons of blood, over the average span of 37 years. John Miller, born and raised in Wabash County, has been a regular blood donor over the past 30 years. He has donated 19 gallons of blood in that time, but he believes he still has a ways to go in giving. “It’s been over a 30 year period; it should have been a lot more,” Miller told The Paper. “All you have to do is need a pint of blood at the hospital and then people will realize how great the need is,” added Miller. Patricia Chekouras, long time Wabash County resident, has donated 157 pints over the past 30 years, which equals out

WABASH RESIDENT, DENNY ELSHIRE, along with many other members of the Wabash community, stopped in at the First United Methodist Church on Tuesday, April 15 to donate blood at the Red Cross event. Elshire considers himself a regular donor but believes he has a long way to go before catching up to the top donor in Wabash County.

I get rejected sometimes because of low iron. I would recommend drinking a lot of fluids. Eat a lot of raisins. A lot of people don’t have trouble with iron, but women do more than men. I always feel better

after I give,” Chekouras told The Paper. Lennie Rose, a Wabash County resident with O negative blood, decided to start giving blood to possibly alleviate headaches. After his headaches were gone, he decided to continue giving because of the great need and his O negative blood is considered a neutral blood,

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Exactly 20 years ago to the day, the Honeywell Center opened the doors to its new expansion. Known as “The Miracle on Market Street,” the 75,000-square-foot addition included the area’s premier performance hall, the Ford Theater. The 1,500-seat theatre has serves as a cultural center for the community, bringing hundreds of musical and theatrical performances to Wabash over the past two decades. “When Mark Honeywell established the Honeywell Foundation in 1941, he did so because of his love of Wabash and his vision of a single place where the community could come together to enjoy cultural events, as well as enjoying one another’s company,” said Tod Minnich, executive director of the Honeywell

will be retiring June 30. During Switzer’s tenure, the University has increased enrollment 25 percent, added a four-year Doctor of Pharmacy program on a new Fort Wayne campus, raised more than 95 percent toward a Students First! $100 million campaign and dedicated several new learning facilities, including the student union. “As president of Manchester Student Senate, I see what a direct impact donor dollars have on our student body,” said junior Chris Miller, a political science major from New Paris. “Naming our campus buildings after these generous families and individuals reminds students that there are thousands of people working behind the scenes to ensure that they have a positive experience at Manchester, a true testament to our emphasis on community and putting students first.” Students are also thanking and celebrating President Jo Young Switzer with a gallery, featuring photographs from her Manchester University years. Hundreds previewed the exhibit at a special

University donor event. Students in Advanced Public Relations will accompany the exhibit. The 41 photographs will be on public display Saturday, April 12 through MU Alumni Days on May 28-29. “We encourage the community to join students in honoring the accomplishments and June 30 retirement of President Switzer,” said senior Kara Gilly, a sport management major from Plymouth, Ind. “The gallery will depict President Switzer in the many roles she has embraced at M a n c h e s t e r University, including as an undergraduate student, professor, faculty leader, dean and president.” Visitors to the exhibit will have opportunity to scribe their greetings to President Switzer. The class wanted to make sure President Switzer was honored by university students in a unique way. “President Switzer played a major role in opening the new pharmacy school in Fort Wayne, which made my decision to come to MU a very easy one. We wanted her to

know our appreciation first-hand,” said Kimberly Cox, a prepharmacy major from Vevay, Ind. Students in the Advanced Public Relations class taught by Professor Mary Lahman are coordinating several student-led celebrations of President Jo Young Switzer. The five students run the class in a meeting format, applying problem-based learning – presenting the problem first and creating situations that require students learn concepts to solve the problem. Students in the class represent a variety of majors, as is typical of a number of communication studies classes. Each spring, students in the class take on a specific project,

which gives them the opportunity for handson learning while doing real work. Last year, they helped promote a massive University auction of equipment, furniture and building supplies. “Planning this photo gallery has been such an incredible opportunity – not only in giving me professional experience, but as a thank you to an amazing president so dedicated to the mission of Manchester and the students who attend. President Switzer has done so much on a professional level, but also a personal level,” said Gilley. The public is welcome to visit the free exhibit, located on the upper level of the student union at the North Manchester campus.

Career Center. “I then started following the institute on Twitter. They sent out information about a contest that there were going to have, requiring you to make a short video about what your school would do with the $10,000. Our design staff, along with our teachers, made the video. We are one of only three schools that actually followed through. “It’s not often you get a hunk of change like this to help your students. We don’t lose anything for going for this, but we could gain a lot,” added Hobbs. Hobbs and the rest of the Heartland staff and students are looking for the community’s support. If you would like to support Heartland, all you

HEARTLAND CAREER CENTER principal Mark Hobbs hopes to encourage community members to vote by April 27 at midnight on Facebook to help the school win the $10,000 grant.

Honeywell Center celebrates 20th Anniversary of Ford Theater expansion...continued from front page

HONEYWELL FOUNDATION AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS gather for a groundbreaking ceremony for the “Miracle on Market Street” expansion to the Honeywell Center. The $17 million addition added 75,000 square feet to the existing 45,000-square-foot Honeywell Center. (photo provided)

Foundation. “The construction of the Ford Theatre, Eugenia’s Restaurant, and the Clark Gallery, which opened 20 years ago, increased opportunities for cultural enrichment and exposure as evidenced by the high caliber of entertainers who have made their way to the Ford Theater stage over the past two decades. As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of these integral spaces, I am confident that we are continuing to further Mr. Honeywell’s original vision.”

When the expansion opened in 1994, several musical and theatrical acts took the stage, including Wabash native Crystal Gayle. Reading the performance’s program gives the past two decades some perspective; it asked patrons to silence their pagers. Minnich was named executive director just before the theater’s 10th anniversary. “We chose to celebrate the 10th anniversary with 10 shows in 2 weeks, and

I think people thought that was a pretty unrealistic feat, and we were able to pull it off at a them when, some years, we’d barely been doing 10 shows all year,” said Minnich. “Now we do over 40 shows every year, so it’s been exciting to see the growth in the number of programs we provide.” April’s celebration is a fitting display of the diversity in the venue’s programming. The festivities commenced on April 2 with a performance by Grammy Awardwinning country

musician Trisha Yearwood. Local talent brought classical music to the stage with a performance by the Manchester Symphony Orchestra. Retired NCAA basketball coach Bob Knight proved that shows don’t need music or high-tech lights to be well attended as he answered questions from former sports editor of Bloomington’s Herald Times Bob Hammel. Knight was followed

by Grammy winner Ronnie Milsap. Pop music star Gavin DeGraw drew the youngest crowd of the month, and audience members spent much of the concert on their feet for the highenergy show. It’s safe to say that a good portion of those attending that show were too young to remember the Honeywell Center without the Ford Theatre. Still to come are performances by Blue Man Group on Thursday (a sold-out show), The Osmonds on Friday, and Mark Lowry on Saturday. “Live entertainment continues to grow. There are more people listening to music now than ever before, and it’s been good for the live entertainment business,” Minnich said of the venue’s packed schedule. “We couldn’t book the acts that we’re able to book here if people didn’t buy tickets and come out and see the shows. It’s really all driven by the guests that come through the doors that are willing to put their hard-earned money down to buy a

We couldn’t have done it without INGUARD, and the “grow with

Daughters of the American Revolution hold meeting

The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on April 8 in the Blocher Room of the North Manchester Public Library. New prospective members present were Kie Ann Kirk and Cathie Hicks. Joyce Joy, Regent, read the April President General’s message from Lynn Forney Young. Barbara Amiss shared the National Defense report on the “The Navy’s Baby”: A True Display of American Spirit. Lt. Hugh Keenan was a ship’s doctor on the U.S.S. Consolation, docked in Yellow Sea at Inchon, South Korea. He visited a friend, Sister Philomena, who ran and orphanage. The baby had been found in July 1953, less than a week old and wrapped in filthy rags, abandoned outside an Army command post. He was delivered to Sister Philomena. She recognized his American features would guarantee a hopeless life of scorn in Korea. She had little food and medicine to share and the native orphanage workers were reluctant to care for him. She contacted Lt. Edward Riley, the chaplain of the Point Cruz, who told the story to the ship’s Captain John T. Hayward. Hayward ordered the baby brought on board and to be given medical care. Combat had ended and the restless crewmen were captivated by the baby. Carrie Roush and her daughter Catie Dimiceli, Zionsville, gave the program on Frances Slocum, the chapter’s name sake. The next regular

‘Coyotes for Charity’ campaign continues hunting for a cure

The “Coyotes for Charity” hunters from Miami, Wabash, Fulton, Kosciusko, Grant, Howard, Marshall, Carroll, Cass and Huntington counties have harvested 310 coyotes this past season. Larry Frank (Macy, Ind.) prepared the coyote pelts for auction along with Terry Manley, a U.S. receiving agent for North American Fur Auctions (NAFA) in Toronto, Canada, where the pelts were sent. This is the eleventh year for “Coyotes for Charity,” who started in 2004 with four hunters harvesting five coyotes to 2014 with over 120 hunters harvesting 310 coyotes. Money raised is matched by the Square D Foundation through the Relay for Life Campaign and also matched by a generous Miami County resident. All money raised is donated to the American Cancer Society. They want to thank the landowners and farmers for the opportunity to hunt. This will make the eleventh-year total 1,592 coyotes harvested and over $37,207 given to the American Cancer Society!

The gift of blood...continued from front page

which can be used to help approximately three people with each donation, according to the American Red Cross. Rose has donated 185 times, totaling 23 gallons of blood since 1979. “There is a lot of need for blood and you can help people by giving blood even if they can’t help in any other way,” Rose told The Paper. Lifelong Wabash County resident Joseph Bakehorn has been donating blood since before the American Red Cross even started recording people’s donations. Bakehorn told The Paper that his first recorded donation was in 1954. Since then, Bakehorn has donated over 28 gallons of blood. Blood is usually donated by the pint and 28 gallons equals out to 224 pints of blood given since 1953. “I was in World War II and I knew even back then they needed blood. When I got out of the service, I felt like they needed it, so I started giving,” Bakehorn told The Paper. “It’s a worthy cause. I’m going to keep on giving as long as they’ll take it,” added Bakehorn. Meredith Speicher, lifelong Wabash resident, is a member of the blood donating community that multiple people mentioned during their interviews. Speicher has been donating blood since 1950 and has donated over 32 gallons of blood. “There were a couple of friends who needed blood in the early 50s and at that time, you could give directly to the hospital. I have O negative blood and plenty of it, so I just keep on giving,” Speicher told The Paper. It was discovered that Speicher has never been exposed to a certain type of virus, so his blood can be used for newborn babies. “They can divide that one pint into four units and it can help four different newborn babies,” said Speicher. If you are interested in donating blood with the American Red Cross, there is an opportunity on Monday, May 12 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at

Miller’s Merry Manor, located at 1720 Alber Street, Wabash. Another volunteer opportunity that is available to the members of the Wabash County community, as well as Grant and Miami Counties, is volunteering as a Disaster Action Team member (DAT). Disaster Action Teams respond to home fires, as well as weather related events. Team members are required to train in the classroom and online. Some of their classroom training consists of determining assistance needed, how to fill out forms on the scene as well as sheltering. DAT member volunteers are placed on a monthly schedule, based on their availability. They would receive calls on nights and weekends directly from dispatch, and during the week, volunteers would receive calls from the American Red Cross office, sending them to the scene. “What DAT does is to meet with the client to determine immediate needs, such as food, clothing and shoes, shelter and emotional needs,” Heidi Vandermark told The Paper. The American Red Cross has the resources to assist families with more than just food and shelter. The Red Cross also assists in reimbursement of medications lost in a fire and even replacing eyeglasses. “If it is determined the client needs immediate assistance they will receive a Client Assistant Card, which can used at most stores to purchase items such as food and clothing.” added Vandermark. The Red Cross can also assist clients with the immediate need of shelter, with arrangements made at local hotels. There are also opportunities for people to volunteer as office staff at the Red Cross in Wabash. If you are interested in volunteering as a Disaster Action Team member or as office staff, visit www.redcross.org or stop in the office. “We are looking for DAT members for Wabash, Grant and Miami C o u n t i e s , ”

Vandermark told The Paper. The North Central Indiana Chapter of the American Red Cross has assisted at 335 fires in Wabash, Grant, Miami, Cass, Tipton and Howard counties over the past year. The assistance over the past year for home fires has totaled almost $75,000. If you are interested in donating to the North Central Indiana Chapter, you can visit the Red Cross’s website or send checks to the office in Wabash, 88 West Hill Street, Wabash, IN 46992.

THE ROANN FESTIVAL Committee and volunteers met at the Roann Town Hall on Thursday, April 10. The Richvalley tenderloin meal was held the following Saturday. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help serve or furnish desserts for this fundraiser for the Roann Covered Bridge festival. In other business, Mary Jane Pell reported for the arts and crafts show for the festival this year. She and her committee are planning to make a few changes and more age categories to encourage more participants. They will also choose an over-all winner of all the arts and crafts. They will be changing the check-in-registration day to Tuesday before the festival and judging would be on Wednesday. John Heeter helped the festival out last year by letting us use his sounds system and helped to see that our other sound systems were working. The festival committee wants to improve the PA system so announcements from the information booth can be heard throughout the twoblock area of the festival. John checked on the options of what would be the most convenient yet economical way to do this. The festival had the fireworks display two years ago. They have had many requests to have fireworks again. They were fortunate to have such a big display. Although it would not be as big as the last time, they may be able to do this again this year. If you would like to make a donation to the festival fireworks fund you may mail your donations to the festival address at Roann Covered Bridge Festival Committee, P.O. Box. 322, Roann, IN 46974. They need a volunteer to organize the 5K Run/Walk for this

yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival. Brian Daniels has chaired this event for the festival the past few years and has done a great job. Brian could help you out with his past paperwork and contacts. You may call 765-833-5663 or Brian Daniels if you are interested. A couple new events we would like to see happen this year is possibly a canoe trip down the Eel River. The other event is to have a bike route set up and a ride for the many bike riders in the area. This would just be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fun-Rideâ&#x20AC;? for this year and hope to have it as bigger event for next year. They need someone to make flyers and designate a route and get this out to the public to get it started this year. Dewayne Krom, Kaleb and Rick Morris of Krom Farms attended the meeting representing their group for the tractor pulls and other events they organize at the pull field during the festival. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thursday will be a garden tractor pull, which may bring in as many as 80 pullers since this is a pretty big organization. They are possibly upgraded more things at the pull field to help out. They are thankful for how big the events have become at the field and how it draws in many outsiders to the festival. President Keith Ford attended the meeting and said that the Lions Club pays the rent on the land at the pull field and they are glad to be able to do this. The Lions Club appreciates how the tractor pullers and their clubs have worked to maintain the pull field and make so many improvements in the past few years. The festival begins on Thursday with a gospel group for the first entertainment and then Spike & the Bulldogs, because they are so popular and bring in a big crowd for the opening night of the festival. Spike has retired and is no longer with the group. However, they are still entertaining as The Bulldogs and they have been asked to come back this year. The committee encourages you that if you are coordina-

COMMUNITY NEWS

tor of an event or want to help in one of the openings for events to please attend at least one meeting so that they, as a committee, know what is needed, or if they need to make changes. There are rules for vendors who sell products and all vendors need to be approved through the festival committee. The normal meeting date is the second Thursday of the month, at the Town Hall at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be May 8 at 7 p.m. However, the June meeting will be scheduled on a different night. They will try to post that as soon as possible. Help us to make another great festival for the town of Roann. THE PERRY DORITE Home Extension Club met at the home of Roberta Struck for their April meeting. Miriam Sites was the co-hostess. The president, Tami Keaffaber, called the meeting to order and we recited the pledges to the flags. Devotions entitled Easter Egg Story was given by Norma Shriver. Those attending the District Meeting at Tipton last month made reports. They made their reservations for Achievement Night, which is coming up on April 29. Paula

Hansford gave the spring lesson on beverages. THE STOCKDALE MILL is preparing for another tourist season. Clean-up day is April 26, 9 a.m. to noon. Mill Tours begin May 3, 12- 4 p.m. Help is wanted. The mill could use more hosts/hostesses and guides. Call the mill at 765-833-2019 ROANN COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE: The Roann Library started this event and has sponsored it for over 10 years. It is time for the library to hand over the reins to another civic group or individuals who might wish to organize it. If anyone is interested, please call the library at 765-8335231, and the staff will be happy to relate the steps involved. At this time, there is no community garage sale planned for this year. THE ROANN ALUMNI DINNER will be held on Friday, April 25. They would like everyone to know that the Alumni are now open to anyone who ever attended any grade at the Roann School. They hope to encourage those who attended Roann, but graduated at Northfield or elsewhere to join them. Joe Krom is president and Judy Cole is secretary.

Frozen, X-Men vocalist to share Middle Earth guide to creativity

Each individual approaches the creative process from a unique perspective, says 1992 Manchester grad Shawn Kirchner, who models his musical productions on personalities from Lord of the Rings. “I call it a ‘Middle Earth’ schedule, because my day is divided into hobbit time, elf time, dwarf time and human time,” explains Kirchner, who also provided vocals for box office hits Avatar, The Lorax, Frozen and X-Men First Class. The songwriter/ composer will talk about his unconventional process and

perform his music for M a n c h e s t e r University students on Monday, April 28 in the Jo Young Switzer Center on the North Manchester campus. The free lecture begins at 7 p.m.; reservations are not necessary. Kirchner’s choral compositions are performed throughout the United States and abroad in concert halls, churches, schools, and on radio, television and YouTube. His compositions combine emotional warmth with carefully crafted lyrics, written in a range of styles including bluegrass, folk, country, gospel and

jazz. He is best known for his arrangement of the Kenyan song Wana Baraka. He currently is the Swan Family Composer in Residence for the Los Angeles Master Chorale. While a student at Manchester, Kirchner fully engaged in peace studies, serving as the first intern for the department. He cofounded and performed in the Manchester College Peace Choir and studied abroad in China. He earned a master’s degree in choral conducting at the University of Iowa.

Richard Edwin Ford, who devoted much of his life to volunteerism and philanthropic endeavors, died Wednesday, April 16, in Naples, Fla., where he was visiting friends. The fourth-generation of a pioneer Wabash family, Mr. Ford was born on Feb. 27, 1939, to Wilbur and Florence (Jeup) Ford. He lived most of his life in the family home at 540 North Wabash Street. Mr. Ford graduated from Wabash High School with the Class of 1956 and attended Indiana University, where he was a member of Acacia fraternity. Upon graduation with a Bachelor of Science degree in business, he joined the family firm, The Ford Meter Box, Inc., as a salesman in the East. He was living then in Washington, D.C., where he eventually worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and for a not-for-profit organization until he returned to Wabash in 1980. It was at that time that he took up a number of civic causes involving the arts, historic preservation and the humanities. His efforts in these fields were local, national, and international in scope. After his return home, he chaired the Ford Meter Box Foundation and was, for many years, a member of the board of directors of the Ford Meter Box Company. In Wabash, he established the Charley Creek Foundation, an organization, which created the Charley Creek Gardens on North Miami Street and sponsors the Charley Creek Artsfest, an annual event featuring art exhibits, art sales and music performances. The Foundation is home to the Wabass Institute; the world’s first workshop devoted to players of the double bass string instrument. Instructors and students gather each year in Wabash to study and to perform. Mr. Ford’s growing interest in historic preservation took him to various towns and cities in the United States and Europe, where he saw preservation efforts at work. He became involved in projects to save the city of Venice, Italy, from flooding and he was on the board of directors of the American Museum in Britain. In America, he served as president of the Council of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. He was a life member of the Honeywell Foundation, where his father, Wilbur Ford, was president for many years. The Olivette Room and the Tower Room were among his projects at the Honeywell Center. Mr. Ford was a major force behind the creation of The Wabash County Historical Museum at 36 East Market. At the same time the new museum project was underway, he was also developing the Dr. James Ford Historic Home on West Hill Street. Dr. Ford, Richard’s great-grandfather lived and practiced medicine in the home that is now a small museum. He was a past member of the Honeywell House board, where he took an interest in programming and in maintaining the house to the late Eugenia Honeywell’s strict standards. The major project of Mr. Ford’s later years was the restoration of the Hotel Indiana, which he renamed the Charley Creek Inn. He created a charming small hotel with a dining room and lounge in downtown Wabash. He was pleased with the role that Charley Creek Inn has played in the revitalization of the downtown area. His interest in history and historic preservation was matched only by his interest in music. Over the years, he was quietly responsible for bringing talented musicians to Wabash. He was on the board of directors of the Wabash Valley Music Association, and had served as its president. He was a board member of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and of the National Council of the Metropolitan Opera. For several years he served as director of the Metropolitan’s Indiana regional auditions. It was his interest in music that provided him with strong ties to Indiana University after he graduated. He supported many causes at the Jacobs School of Music on the Bloomington campus. He developed an interest in cabaret music and in the popular music segment known as The Great American Songbook, and he was particularly fond of the music of Cole Porter and Hoagy Carmichael. Mr. Ford was the recipient of awards from many organizations, but none pleased him more than those from Indiana groups. Among those were the 1998 Distinguished Citizen award from the Wabash Chamber of Commerce, the 2004 Indiana Living Legends award from the Indiana Historical Society, and the 2009 “Spirit of the Prairie” award from Conner Prairie. Indiana Landmarks honored him with the Cook Cup for his preservation efforts in restoring what is now Charley Creek Inn. Manchester College (now Manchester University) granted him the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters in 2005. Mr. Ford was past president of the American Pianists Association. He was on the board of Heartland Film Festival, Dance Kaleidoscope and the Indianapolis Opera Company. He sat on the boards of the Hoosier Salon, the Indiana State Historical Society, and the Indianapolis International Violin Competition. Two governors named him a Sagamore of the Wabash. Mr. Ford’s club and organization affiliations were numerous. In Wabash, he belonged to the Kiwanis Club, the Wabash Chamber of Commerce, and more than three dozen other local organizations. He was a member of the First Methodist Church. He is survived by nephews Steven (Lisa) Ford, Daniel (Tammy) Ford, and Mark (Amy) Ford, and by Marilyn Ford, a sister-in-law, all of Wabash. His parents, two brothers and a sister preceded him in death. A memorial service will be held Thursday, May 8 at 1 pm at the Honeywell Center Ford Theater in Wabash. Visitation will be from 3-8 pm Wednesday, May 7, 2014 at Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service in Wabash.

Fred L. Diefenbaugh, 78, died April 19. He was born on Nov. 18, 1935. He was married to Mary Louise Thompson; she survives. He is also survived by two sons, one daughter, 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. His parents preceded him in death. Visitation will be from 3-7 p.m. on April 24, at Bailey-Love Mortuary, 35 West Park Drive, Huntington. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday April 25.

Donations needed for Chairs of Hope Project Under the direction of art teacher Hannah Burnworth, eighth grade students at Manchester Junior Senior High School will create pieces of art made from discarded wooden chairs, which will be auctioned later this summer in support of Relay for Life North Manchester. The art project will begin in May and be completed before the end of school. Jim Hunt developed the Chairs of Hope Project while teaching at Lincoln Heights Magnet Elementary in Fuquay-Varina, N.C.

The program began its association with the Garner Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. The project is being initiated at MJSHS as a way to allow students to offer their gifts of creativity to impact the lives of others in their community. The theme “Hope Takes Flight” has been chosen for their inspiration to create. “It’s exciting to think that the teens in our community will use their talents to reach into the lives of others. Our hope is that they will discover a sense of

unity and ownership in their community as well as be encouraged in their gifts,” said Sebrena Cline, event chair. “I was thrilled that Mrs. Burnworth could fit this in their schedule and am looking forward to the auction this summer.” Help is needed to accomplish the goal and the community is invited to partner with the students and the Chairs of Hope Project through donations of sturdy wooden chairs. Thirty-eight chairs are needed so that each student in the class will have the

opportunity to participate. Also, because funds are limited, monetary donations for paint, brushes, and polyurethane are appreciated. “There are times in our lives, whether we are fighting an illness or simply experiencing life, when we need a place of rest,” said Cline. “These chairs symbolize a safe place to stop and just ‘be’ while we catch our breath in living.” If you are interested in helping with this project please contact Sebrena Cline, 260-578-1398.

Scams solicit local residents to pay for deeds The Office of the Indiana Attorney General has alerted Wabash County that companies are soliciting Indiana consumers to pay for deeds. One such notice sent by an entity under the name “Local Records Office” and received by a county resident asked for $89 in exchange for a copy of their deed. Copies of

deeds can be obtained at the Wabash County Clerk’s office for $1. Any money sent to the included address is routed to California through an Indianapolis address. Currently, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General is investigating the following companies for this type of scam: National Record Service, Inc., Record R e t r i e v a l

D e p a r t m e n t , Conveyance Transfer Services and Local Records Office. The OAG is conducting this investigation to determine whether these companies are violating the Indiana Deceptive Consumer Sales Act, by misrepresenting the benefits of purchasing and retaining a deed from them, misrepresenting that the solicitation is an

invoice, and misrepresenting their affiliation with the government. If you receive an invoice from any of these companies, contact the local recorder’s office. Wabash County officials urge residents not to send any money to these companies.

The Wabash County Historical Museum’s Red Carpet Club will once again meet every other month throughout the year, starting on Thursday, April 24. At 12 p.m. and at 6 pm, the film “Hoosiers” will be shown in the museum’s theatre. “Hoosiers,” starring Gene Hackman, is a 1986 film about a small town Indiana basketball team’s journey to the state championship.

The Red Carpet Club series will feature films with local ties. Previous showings have included films with set design by Wabash native John Corso, who has been on hand to tell “behind-the-scenes” stories to guests. “It’s important that we tie in the historical connection to the films that we show here. That’s what makes our series unique,” said Mitch Figert, the museum’s executive director. The Museum is located at 36 E Market Street in downtown Wabash. Reservations are required, as seating is limited. Call 260-563-9070 to make reservations.

Norsemen take two from Giants

by Gary Andrews The Northfield varsity baseball team evened their season record to 3-3 Saturday with a double-header sweep over Marion. The Norse rode the back of Shane Vigar in game one who was the winning pitcher striking out 13, while going 4 for 4 at the plate. In game one, the Norse jumped on Marion in the first inning. Adam Roser led off with a single and was followed with a single from Brad Bever. Roser and Bever would then pull off a double steal with Roser scoring on a steal. Drake Richter then drove home Bever and the Norse led 2-0 after one. In the bottom of the third, the Norse would tack on two more runs. Vigar started the inning

with a single and was drove home on a Remington Monce double. Bryce Kendall was then hit by a pitch and followed by a Nate Hembree bunt single. With the bases loaded, Monce was picked off third but Joseph Mitchell loaded them back up with a single. Kendall would score on a wild pitch and the Norse led 4-0. Marion would pick up a run in the fourth, and it was 4-1 in the fifth when the Norse struck again. Bryce Kendall started the inning with a double, but was thrown out at third. Nate Hembree then singled and was followed by a Mitchell walk. Both runners would advance a base on a wild pitch when Brown singled scoring Hembree and Mitchell to lead 6-1. Northfield would

get one more insurance run in the 6th. Drake Richter walked and stole second. Shane Vigar would single home Richter as the Norse took game one 7-1. The Norse jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first in game two thanks to Brad Bever. Bever struck out swinging, but on a dropped third strike made it safely to first. Bever then stole second and third, then stole home on a passed ball to put Northfield up. The game would go a little stagnant for the Norse the next five innings as they couldn’t get any momentum going and led 1-0 when the Giants made some noise. Marion, who hadn’t touched pitcher Nate Hembree most of the game, finally found some gaps to

plate two runs and led the Norse 2-1 heading to the bottom of the 6th. The 2 runs by the Giants woke up a sleeping Giant in the bottom as Adam Roser led off with a walk. With one out Drake Richter hit a chopper to short, beating it out. Shane Vigar then singled to load the bases when Roser scored on a passed ball. Remington Monce then doubled home Richter and Vigar to go up 4-2, but the Norse were not done. With two outs Nate Hembree dropped one in right field to bring home Monce and the Norse led 5-2 heading to the 7th. As it had been most of the game, Hembree dominated on the mound striking out the side to complete the sweep.

Knights hand Peru first loss by Gary Andrews The Southwood varsity baseball team hosted Peru in a double header Saturday, losing game one 5-4 before handing the Tigers their first loss of the season with a 98 victory in game two. In game one, the first inning had plenty of action. In the top of the inning, Peru would strike first when Logan Brimbury hit a fly ball out to bring Cameron Beauchamp home. Richardson would then score on a Ray single for a 2-0 lead. The Southwood offense would waste no time answering the Peru opening. Jackson Blair led off the inning with a single and was followed by a Nathan Hollars single to put runners on first and second. Robbie Cole would then single and the Knights had the bases loaded with no outs. Brandin Frazier hit the fourth straight single, knock-

The cast includes a half-dozen alumni as well as current MU students, faculty and staff members. “I’m quite proud of the i n t e r- g e n e r a t i o n a l aspect of this particular show,” added Lynn. “It is proof that one is never too old or too young take on an opera role!” The comedy plays out in Imperial Japan, satirizing British politics and institutions in a story of two young lovers in a town where flirting is punishable by death. Ironically, Yum-Yum, the fiancé of the Lord High Executioner Ko-Ko, actually is in love with Nanki-Poo, a wander-

ing minstrel. The ruler of Japan – The Mikado – orders that someone be beheaded for such disgraceful disregard for the law. Conducting the M a n c h e s t e r Symphony Orchestra in its 75th year is Scott Humphries, assistant professor of music. With more than 60 amateur and professional musicians from the community and University, the MSO is a frequent collaborator in campus musicals. The Mikado also displays spectacular costuming, makeup and scenery, including an elaborate Japanese cherry blossom tree created by Jena Oke and Jeff Diesburg of the MU Art Department. Sara Gable of North Manchester is doing the makeup, costuming and wigs. There is no charge to students under 18,

The workshop will be held at the Wabash Christian Church, corner of Hill and Miami Streets in Wabash. Set-up starts

at 9 a.m., with class beginning at 9:30 a.m.; with a break to eat (bring your own sacklunch); and continuing until about 4 p.m. Terry will be instructing the class using acrylic paints, as they are his medium of choice, favoring their bold and vibrant colors. He considers that each artist has their own tastes and

. '

that you may have a different preference in mediums, which is fine. Just remember, if using another medium, the execution of the work, and final product will be different than if you use acrylics. Terry, as a landscapes and still-life painter, fills his canvas with color in rhythmic patterns of light and

Wheat producers need to inspect crop as it breaks dormancy One of Indiana’s coldest, snowiest winters in recent history could have damaged some of the state’s winter wheat crop - a fact that necessitates field scouting, a Purdue Extension agronomist says. While snow cover insulates winter wheat from brutal cold, some parts of the state were hit with sub-zero temperatures when wheat was exposed. In that situation, the crop can suffer a number of injuries that force growers to decide whether to go ahead and apply nitrogen or terminate the crop. “Whether wheat is at risk depends on where it’s located in the state,” Shaun Casteel said. “The snow blanket protected the crop in some areas, but in others, particularly in the southern part of the state, we didn’t have that snow cover.” Even though winter wheat enters dormancy for the cold months, temperatures below 12 degrees Fahrenheit sustained for more than two hours can cause freeze injury to

exposed wheat. As the crop advances into the jointing growth stage, the temperature point of injury doubles to 24 degrees. Injury can be as minor as leaf-tip burn or as major as growing-point termination. In areas that had some soil freezing and thawing cycles, the wheat crop also is at risk for heaving, a phenomenon where water refreezes in soil pores, lifts the soil, pushes the plants up and exposes the roots to drying out. A third type of winter injury, Casteel said, is smothering. Wheat most at risk is that which is growing in low-lying field areas that ponded when snow melted, then froze again. “We had a thaw a couple of weeks ago that caused some ponding,” he said. “When ponded water freezes it cuts off the oxygen to the wheat roots underneath. Even though the wheat is dormant, it’s still respiring, so cutting off oxygen can cause plant death.” Wheat will start to break winter dorman-

cy once temperatures consistently reach the mid-30s and 40s. At that point, growers will have a better idea of how the crop fared over the winter. But for some farmers who prefer to topdress nitrogen fertilizer when the ground is still frozen, waiting until green-up presents other challenges. “Growers have to decide whether they want to spend the money to topdress wheat that might not be alive, or if they want to wait until green-up and then risk having to topdress nitrogen on soggy soils,” Casteel said. Another option is to topdress a lower nitrogen rate now, observe wheat condition at green-up, and then topdress liquid nitrogen at the jointing growth stage if wheat is viable. Casteel said that while this option isn’t ideal, it is possible. For farmers who find that wheat is in extremely poor condition, Casteel said it might make sense to tear out the crop and plant a spring cash crop such as corn or

soybean. “There are some bad-looking fields out there that were exposed to extreme cold with no snow,” he said. “Some of those fields are completely brown, which means they don’t have any

green tissue for photosynthesis.” More information about winter injury to wheat and wheat production in general is available in Purdue Extension’s Wheat Field Guide.

Late comeback falls short for Lady Squires by Gary Andrews The Manchester varsity softball team fell behind 4-0 to Wawasee Friday before making a comeback, but falling short 6-4. Down 4-0 after four innings the Lady Squires finally broke the ice in the 5th. Tabby DeWitt started the inning with a single and advanced to second on a passed ball. With two outs Celina Carter singled to right, driving home DeWitt to make it 4-1. Wawasee tacked on a run in the bottom of the inning to go up 51, but the Lady Squires were not done. With one out in the 5th, Brooklyn Howard and Katelyn Andritsch drew back-

to-back walks and advanced a base on a passed ball. Tabby DeWitt then singled home Howard with Andritsch advancing to third. On the first pitch DeWitt stole second with Andritsch going home on the throw to second and it was 5-3. With one more shot in the 7th, Nina Smith drew a one out walk, when Metzger reached on an error and Smith going to third. Sydney Snep then reached on an error, scoring Smith and Metzger to knot the score at 5. After the Squires worked their way back Wawasee managed two hits and a walk in the bottom of the inning, nipping Manchester 6-5.

LaFontaine to honor veterans at festival

The LaFontaine Town Festival Committee would like to encourage the area of Liberty Township and the community of LaFontaine to start planning ahead for Ashland Days, LaFontaine Town’s Festival. The Festival is taking place on Friday, June 20 and Saturday June 21. This year the committee has taken a different approach to the festival. It was decided in January that this year’s town festival would be dedicated to our local hometown heroes. The

town is celebrating local veterans of the past and present at the festival. As part of this event the committee has been putting together a local veterans roll call. To honor these veterans, the committee needs the names of those who have served. The committee has been collecting names and information by having several Veteran’s Coffee and Snack meetings. More of these get-togethers have been scheduled for the following dates: April 29, May 13, May 17 and June

14. The coffee and snack meetings are at 9 a.m. in the L a F o n t a i n e Community Center. Those who cannot attend can contact the festival committee for a roll call form. In the Veteran’s Coffee and Snack the committee is hearing great stories of service to our country. The committee is looking for someone with experience to come to some of these meetings and videotape the stories. This documentation would then be submitted to the Veterans History

Project for the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. If you are interested in donating your time to this video project please contact Donna Pattee-Ballard at 765603-8720. Another addition for this years’ festival will be a veterans exhibit. This exhibit will include photos and memorabilia from our local veterans. Items are being collected and put together for the display. Photographs are being scanned for a slide presentation shown in the exhibit.

Ault calls for Land’s re-election Dear editor, Bob Land, by his perfor mance, deserves to be reelected. Rather than to focus on the negatives and lack of experience of those running against Sheriff Land, I would like to focus on his positives. Under Sheriff Land, there has been an increase in drug arrests and continued educational programs in Wabash County

Schools, and a total effort by his department to provide our community with the service and support it deserves. Land has been fiscally responsible, while at the same time, making changes in the existing facility. Sheriff Land’s integrity has been proven by 38 years serving in law enforcement in Indiana, including 24 years of administra-

I have known Bob Land for over 30 years as a customer and as a valued friend. I have had the pleasure of attending some of the Indiana Drug Association training schools, where he is a leader and founding member, approximately 28 years ago.

Jackson Blair would then single home C. Kelly to knot the score at 4, but the Knights were not done. A. Kelly would then score on the third wild pitch of the inning, giving the Knights a 5-4 lead before Nathan Hollars drove home Blair for the 6th run and Southwood led 6-4. Neither team would do anything in the 5th, but the Knights made some noise again in the 6th. C. Kelly reached on a Tiger error, followed by a Blair single. Hollars would double home Kelly and three pitches later Cole doubled home Blair and Hollars as the Knights opened a 9-4 lead with one inning to go. Things would get interesting in the top of the 7th as the Tigers were not done. Five singles and a fielder’s choice cut the Knight lead to 9-7 with one out. After a Peru strike out the sixth single of the inning made it 9-8 before a fly out ended the game with a 9-8 Knight win.

Stockdale Mill open for season The Stockdale Mill Foundation is pleased to announce that the mill will open for the season on May 3. All four floors of the mill, intact with original machines, are available for tours. Standing firmly on the banks of the Eel River near Roann, the Stockdale Mill welcomes visitors to experience a bygone era and witness the collective efforts of a community to restore a noted landmark. The Stockdale Mill was built at the best power source on the Eel River. Norma (Deck) Krom was quoted in 1992 during the dedication of a historical market as saying: “Standing at the mill today, one cannot but feel wonder and admiration for the courage, foresight and judgment of the pioneers. What insight told them where to build a dam?” This historic mill is all that remains of the neighboring town of

Stockdale. In 1839, Thomas Goudy platted the town of Stockdale, the first town in Paw Paw Township. Stockdale was the settlement of Native American tribes like the Potawatomi and the Miami. Also known as Squirrel Town, or Squirrel Village, the settle-

ment quickly grew to include a store, blacksmith shop, two mills, wagon shop, public school, church, post office and lodge; however, when a new train route, the Detroit, Eel River and Illinois Railroad, was located through nearby Roann in the early 1870s, the town of Stockdale soon ceased

to exist. “The Stockdale Mill is truly a remarkable landmark,” said Christine Flohr, executive director of tourism for Visit Wabash County. “There are only a handful of mills still standing in Indiana, and even fewer that are operational. The mill is a must-see in

order to appreciate the genius behind it.” The original gristmill was erected in 1839, and when it was later washed out, the current mill was built between 1855-1857. The mill continued to produce flour until 1964, much longer than its competitors. In 1860, there were seventeen grain mills

in Wabash County; it is now the only one that remains. After years of deterioration, the mill was purchased in 2011, and the Stockdale Mill Foundation undertook restoration. “The mill tells the story of our past, expresses the perseverance of our ancestors and reminds us of

the importance of preserving our landmarks,” said Peggy Morris, member of the Stockdale Mill Foundation and volunteer. “We are always looking for more volunteers to help take care of the grounds and lead mill tours.”

62 Ton RiverFest to celebrate past river cleanups The Wabash River Defenders have announced that this year’s river initiative, the 62 Ton RiverFest, will revolve around celebrating the success of the past three river cleanup campaigns and the hundreds of volunteers who dedicated their time and resources to protecting our natural waterway. On Saturday, July 26 the public is invited to participate in a group/family float along the Wabash River. It will be launching from Lagro from 9—10 a.m. and

getting off of the river at the Carroll St. access point in Wabash. The Wabash River Defenders (WRD) and the Knights of Columbus will host a celebratory lunch and concert at Paradise Spring Historical Park beginning at noon. This completely free event will include allyou-can-eat Wabash River Silver Tail and Riverbank Tatters along with a live musical performance by Small Town. “This entire county has worked tirelessly

over the last three years removing 62 tons of debris and pollutants from the water and the banks of the entire length of the Wabash River,” said Michael Beauchamp, founder of the Wabash River Defenders. “That is just over 19 miles from Miami to Huntington counties.” In 2011, more than 400 volunteers gathered for the first organized “clean out the banks” initiative, making Wabash County the largest river clean-up project

in the State of Indiana. Wabash County United Fund (UF) serves as the fiscal agent for the program. “United Fund encourages the investment of community spirit,” said Steve Johnson, executive director for United Fund. “Myself and the UF Board of Directors sees this community beautification project as a way to publicly serve and strengthen the entire county.” In addition to removing 62 tons of debris, the WRD in (continued on page 31)

Celebrating Hoosier farmers who are protecting an irreplaceable resource By Jane Hardisty, Indiana NRCS State Conservationist For most, celebrations of National Agriculture Day conjure up scenes of a farm family around a dinner table, a tractor planting corn, or school children visiting a hog farm. Although I grew up on a farm, when I think of Ag Week I see visions of healthy soil. “Agriculture: 365 Sunrises and 7 Billion Mouths to Feed” is this year’s Ag Day theme and those who

live and work in the agricultural community are keenly aware production will need to increase sharply over the next few decades in order to feed and clothe the world. We must develop new technologies and techniques to produce more feed, fiber, food and fuel with less— less land, less water, less energy, and fewer nutrient inputs. That’s why the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is focused on soil health. Over the past two

Setser joins Vein Institute and Medi Spa

MELISSA SETSER Vein Institute and Medi Spa, Inc., announces Melissa Setser, Winona Lake, has joined the practice as medical aesthetician. Setser is a licensed medical aes-

thetician, bringing five years of experience in dermatology. She is also a trained laser technician and makeup artist. She specializes in body contouring and fat reduction, chemical peels and medical skin care. Setser graduated from Bauder College in Atlanta, Ga. and Vogue School of Beauty. To schedule your complimentary consultation, call the Vein Institute and Medical Spa at 574267-1900 or locate further information at w w w. v e i n m e d icalspa.com.

It’s not a new concept, nor is it difficult to improve soil health. Here’s how: till the soil as little as possible; grow as many different species of plants as possible through rotations and a mixture of cover crops; keep living plants in the soil as long as possible; and keep the soil’s surface covered with residue year round. A healthy soil is full

of life (bacteria, fungi, microscopic insects, earthworms, etc.); high in organic matter; covered all the time by growing plants and/or their residues; and well structured (full of holes to allow for air and water movement). Each day in Indiana, the NRCS with farmers and other private landowners to help

them make good conservation decisions about their land. Whether it’s on one acre or a thousand acres, sustaining our natural resources has never been more important. As we celebrate Ag Day throughout this week, I want to thank Indiana’s farm families for all you do to care for the land, improve the environment, and provide us

safe and affordable food. I look forward to continuing to work together to safeguard this irreplaceable resource—our soil! You are invited to learn more about soil health and conservation practices.

issued a report highlighting the impact of more than $33 billion in USDA investments to support rural businesses, infrastructure and housing in 2013. “This report tells the story of how USDA support has made a tremendous difference in the lives of rural Americans,” said Vilsack. “Our investments help create jobs and opportunity for rural residents, provide affordable housing, support modern infrastructure, and build essential community facilities. I am proud of the role that USDA has played to grow rural economies and help make rural America a place of opportunity, innovation and economic growth.” USDA Rural Development’s $193 billion portfolio is making lasting investments in rural communities. The report highlights several initiatives that are helping to address persistent rural poverty, expand health care for Mississippi Delta residents, and develop

stronger partnerships between government, private-sector and community-based organizations. Since the start of the Obama Administration, USDA business programs have provided more than 18,000 guaranteed loans, direct loans and grants to help more than 74,000 businesses create or save more than 375,000 jobs. USDA is increasingly becoming the lender of choice for many Native American tribes throughout the country. USDA programs support research into new energy sources and help protect the environment. During the two last quarters of fiscal year 2013, USDA made payments to operators of 56 anaerobic digesters that produced almost 173 million kilowatt hours of electricity – enough to power more than 17,000 homes annually.

Rural Development is a key player in the recovery of the nation’s housing market, particularly in rural areas. For many realtors, USDA Rural Development loans account for most of their business. In 2013, nearly 163,000 rural families became homeowners through loans from private lenders that were guaranteed by USDA, and more than 7,000 families bought homes through direct loans from USDA. USDA’s homeownership program is complemented by assistance that helps rural residents find affordable rental housing. Tenants pay no more than 30 percent of their income on rent for decent, safe housing. Last year, USDA provided rental assistance to nearly 280,000 rural residents. Including the residents who get rental assistance, more than half a million rural Americans live in rental housing financed or directly supported by USDA. USDA’s Rural Housing Service invested in more than 1,000 essential community infra-

sioned 2007. The digester produces 2.7 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy per year. The dairy’s herd provides the manure to produce biogas, which fuels the generators that produce electricity. The excess electricity is purchased by a local utility and delivered to customers. USDA broadband infrastructure loans awarded in FY 2013 will result in new or upgraded broadband service for about 120,000 rural households, businesses and community institutions once the projects are completed. The Department also continued to make great strides to bring distance learning and telemedicine infrastructure to rural areas. In 2013, one-third of USDA’s distance learning grants went to rural areas where the minority population is 30 percent or higher. Another third went to areas were poverty rates have been consistently high over long periods. All of the awards went to rural areas where residents lacked access to medical services.

structure projects with $1.4 billion in direct loans, guaranteed loans and grants in Fiscal Year 2013. In other areas, the report indicates that USDA’s Rural Utilities Service helped meet the power needs of 8.7 million rural customers last year by providing nearly $5 billion in loans to electric utilities. These loans helped build and expand transmission and distribution systems. During fiscal year 2013, USDA helped bring new and improved electric infrastructure to more than 80,000 Native Americans and Alaska Natives and invested a record amount – $275 million – on infrastructure projects benefitting them. One of the many examples of how USDA investments are helping rural businesses and communities is the bio-based startup company Laurel Biocomposites, LLC, in Laurel, Neb. USDA partnered with Security Bank in Laurel to provide a $5 million loan guarantee that helped Laurel Biocomposites buy equipment and provide working capital for its first year of operation. Today, the company is operating one production line and is expected to begin full-scale production later this year. When full-scale production begins, the company plans to double its work force from seven currently to 13 to 15 workers on the plant floor. The Wisconsin Food Hub Cooperative in Madison, Wis., is using a $150,000 USDA Value Added Producer Grant to help start a regional fresh produce food hub and packinghouse to improve producers’ access to local wholesale markets. The hub will create private-sector jobs and aggregate local produce sold under the “Wisconsin Farmed” brand. Eleven families in Reedley, Calif., became homeowners in 2013 after moving into houses they jointly built through USDA’s Mutual Self-Help Housing program. The group worked with oversight from SelfHelp Enterprises, a pioneer in the “Sweat Equity” concept of homebuilding.

Work begins on museum’s caboose exhibit

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Last week, the Wabash Valley Saw Dust Gang began restoration work on the Wabash County Historical Museum’s outdoor caboose exhibit. “The museum received the caboose from Bob McCallen, and he asked our group if we would restore it, so we took that project on,” said Marvin Wright, member of the four-county woodworking club. “We didn’t want to work on it when there was snow on the ground, so it’s finally gotten warm enough that we could begin to do it.” Three members of the Saw Dust Gang were hard at work Wednesday morning, tearing off the train caboose’s old siding. Wright said that the wood underneath the siding doesn’t look great, but it’s solid. “We’re residing the caboose, first removing the old siding, which is two layers and is really in bad, bad shape,” said Wright. “Then after we get the siding off and the new back on, there’s a gentleman who’s going to replace the roof, so the caboose will be back exteriorly in very good shape once we get done in hopefully another week and a half or so.” The small team was able to remove both layers of siding from the east side of the caboose Monday, April 14. The same was done to the west side of the caboose, carefully removing and preserving an original logo, which will be used as part of the exhibit. “The outside layer was screwed in and it took impact drivers to get it loose,” said Wright. “And the underside was nailed on with so many nails it’s unreal, so taking it off is really the biggest part of the project, and the dirtiest.” Wright and the others working on the project will cut and paint the new siding before bringing it to the location for installation. “That should make life so much simpler,” said Wright. Though efforts are focused on the interior right now, the plan is to restore the interior and open it to the public by late fall or early next year. “People have really enjoyed the caboose, and I think once it gets finished, it will be even more exciting to see,” said Executive Director Mitch Figert. The project is partially funded by a place-based investment grant through Wabash Marketplace. It’s a matching grant up to $13,700, so the museum is starting a capital campaign to raise the equivalent sum needed to take advantage of all matching funds

available. Figert hopes that community members will take advantage of the opportunity to double their impact. “It’s a great way to get involved, because we can match them dollar for dollar right now to support the caboose project,” said Figert. “It’s re-

ally just going to be a community effort to get this done.” A conceptual design plan for the completed exhibit, which includes a train-stop-style seating area, can be viewed on the western exterior wall of the museum, just opposite the caboose.

planting corn, or school children visiting a hog farm. Although I grew up on a farm, when I think of Ag Week I see visions of healthy soil. “Agriculture: 365

Sunrises and 7 Billion Mouths to Feed” is this year’s Ag Day theme and those who live and work in the agricultural community are keenly aware production will need to increase sharply over the next few decades in order to feed and clothe the world. We must develop new technologies and techniques to produce more feed, fiber, food and fuel with less— less land, less water, less energy, and fewer nutrient inputs. That’s why the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is focused on soil health. Over the past two

years NRCS has worked with hundreds of farmers in Indiana to improve the health of their soil. From every corner of the state we are hearing stories of increased production and improved bottom line, all while improving the soil resource. That’s good news for all us at a time when we are faced with climate and sustainability challenges. It’s not a new concept, nor is it difficult to improve soil health. Here’s how: till the soil as little as possible; grow as many different species of plants as
