Konyha requests CEDIT funds economic development projects by Danielle Smith Bill Konyha, chief executive officer of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County (EDG), attended the April 25 meeting of the Wabash County Commissioners to present two requests for grants of County E c o n o m i c Development Income Tax (CEDIT) funds. Konyha’s first request was for $12,500 to retain BT ProjectPoint, LLC, a municipal advisor, to assist with a current business attraction project of EDG. Konyha was unable to disclose specific information about the project, but informed the commissioners that it will represent a $12 million capital investment and will create 150 jobs, paying over $16 per hour.

City council candidates voice opinions during debate by Shaun Tilghman Eight of the 11 candidates running for Wabash City Council participated in a debate, sponsored by the Government Affairs Committee of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce, on April 20, at the Honeywell Center. The candidates, who are involved in contested races for the May 3 Primary Election, fielded questions by district from moderator Charles Miller. The three candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for the AtLarge seat are Joan Haag, Jim Cosby, and Harold Chatlosh. The District 1 Republican race features John Gilpin and Bill Evans, while the District 2 Democratic candidates are Tina Carroll and Bill Hapner. In District 3, Jim Wenrich contends with Preston Miracle, and in District 4, Paul Lewis is running against Pat Lynn, all who are Democrats. According to Jim Widner, Government Affairs Committee chair, the chamber believes it is important for someone to facilitate an event such as this to provide the public an opportunity to get to know the candidates a little better. “I’m a little disappointed that more of the general public didn’t attend but we’d like to thank [local media sources] for reporting what happened and stimulating some thinking in that way,” Widner said. “I think it’s always important to have the public armed with as much information as they can get and there’s a lot of ways to do that; this is one way and I just hope that people who were not here will take advantage of the media opportunities present.” Miller posed four questions to the candi-

dates present from each district, but much of the focus in each set of questions related to bringing more jobs to the City of Wabash and the issue of tax abatements. At-Large Joan Haag, an incumbent council member, identified her main goal as increasing employment opportunities and improving the quality of life in Wabash. “We want to try to bring as much good business and as many goodpaying jobs into Wabash as possible,” Haag explained. “Wabash, like any town, is having that problem; we’re trying to make jobs benefit for everybody. We are in the process of looking into using some land that will come available to the city but we have to go through certain hoops in doing so. “Nothing can be done overnight. We’d love to see all these businesses come here and we’ve made advances in getting the areas ready for people to come in and do it but we’ve got to go out and beat the bushes to see if we can get those businesses to us.” She went on to say that while there have been many changes in Wabash over the years, she strongly believes that the progress has not come at the cost of the community’s small town atmosphere. She also stressed the need for cooperation with the county in regards to potential projects, as that will help all parties achieve the common goal of bettering the community. Jim Cosby, a former six-term council member, was adamant regarding his view of tax abatements and the impact they can have on the Wabash community. “I think tax abatement for businesses is a necessary evil,” Cosby said. “If you don’t give them (new businesses) some abate-

from 6-7 p.m. in the O.J. Neighbours Elementary School parking lot located on North Wabash Street followed by a Sock Hop dance from 7-10 p.m. in the O.J. Neighbours gym. Participants are encouraged to wear clothing representing the fashion style of the 1950s. Dance contests and games will take place along with a performance by several Summer Theater high school students and music provided by a live DJ. The evening is open to students in grade seven through adults. Tickets will be sold at the door with all proceeds benefiting the VPA programs. Wabash County VPA began in the summer of 1985 as an enrichment program for students in grades three through

six and was directed by Terry McKee of Manchester and Susie Jones of Wabash. The program includes students from M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, MSD of Wabash County and Wabash City Schools. In 1990, the program expanded to include two separate productions, which continue to take place today: one for grades three through six and a second for grades seven through twelve. The programs were first held at the Honeywell Center in 1985 and then moved to Wabash Middle School the summer of 1987. This summer, the programs return to the Honeywell Center for performances in the Ford Theater June 24 and 25.

The current program is funded by donations from class fees from students who participate, county organizations such as Wabash and Manchester Tri Kappa chapters, grants from The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of

USDA’s Farm Service Agency provides 2009 SURE Program reminder Julia A. Wickard, State Executive Director for USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Indiana, reminds producers that the 2009 Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program (SURE) is underway and continues through July 29. SURE provides crop disaster assistance payments to eligible producers on farms that have incurred crop production or crop quality losses as a result of a natural disaster. This program addresses crop losses on all farming interests in all counties and states. SURE provides assistance in an amount equal to 60 percent of the difference between the SURE farm guarantee (expected revenue) and the actual farm revenue. In 2009, Indiana had 29 counties that were either declared a natural disaster by the Secretary of Agriculture, or contiguous to a declared county. Any producer who has part of his/her farming operation in one of these counties may qualify for a SURE payment, if there was a 10-percent production loss of one crop of economic significance. This does not guarantee a payment,

another candidate unable to attend the debate, but he offered the following quotes for The Paper: “I think tax abatements are a big part of being able to bring jobs to Wabash,” Evans said, “[they] would attract companies, or expand companies that are already here. But I don’t think the tax abatements are thought out very well – they need to be adjusted. For example, if a company was going to bring in 50 jobs because of the tax abatement but then only brought in 40 jobs, I think the abatement should be decreased by 20 percent to make up for the 10 jobs they didn’t bring in. I also think when they give people these tax abatements they should follow up on them to make sure everybody is doing what they said they were going to do. “In terms of the new business park, I can’t see spending a lot of money up front to put in sewage lines, water lines, gas lines, and electric. I can see getting them under the highway and to the property, but I can’t see taking them any further until we get a factory in there and know what part it’s going to locate on. I

just don’t understand spending a lot of money now for a factory that might not be here for 3-4 years.” Evans’ closing comments pertained to the fact that he is a disabled American veteran and does have some heart issues, but he was adamant that it’s nothing that would keep him from doing his job on the city council if elected. District 2 Tina Carroll believes she makes a good candidate because of her desire “to be a voice for the working people on the council.” She then explained how, through no fault of her employer or of her own, she lost her job when the factory she worked for closed. “Nobody knows more than I do that jobs are the most important thing on peoples’ minds today,” she added. “I think the jobs have deteriorated here in Wabash so we need to try to bring more businesses to the town. Wabash needs the new business park to attract companies which will bring more jobs to the town.” Carroll also said she thinks Wabash is headed in the right direction and if elected, she will be available to listen to people and she will always

vote for what she thinks is best. Bill Hapner did not respond to the chamber’s invitations to the debate and was also unavailable when The Paper attempted to reach him for an interview. District 3 Jim Wenrich recently retired from MSD of Wabash County, where he was a teacher. He described the changes he’s seen taking place in Wabash, and for the most part he considered those changes to be in the positive direction. “I think Wabash has a lot of innovative people living in the community,” he explained. “They’ve taken steps individually and they’ve taken steps as groups; they’ve taken steps as the city government and they’ve taken steps as the county government, and we need to remember that the U.S. 24 project did not happen overnight. Most projects take time and we need to realize that we have a group of individuals, groups, city government, and county government all working together to reach the positive.” According to Wenrich, when the city government works with the E c o n o m i c Development Group,

Konyha requests CEDIT... Konyha plans to request the additional $12,500 from the CEDIT funds of the City of Wabash. The $25,000 fee will be refunded as a cost of finance from bond proceeds, assuming the project is concluded. If the project is not completed, the funds cannot be recovered. The commissioners agreed to grant the funds, and Konyha expects to have an agreement to present for the commissioners’ review within 60 days. Konyha’s second request was for $6,000 to form a contract with former state representative, William Ruppel. EDG hopes to enlist Ruppel’s knowledge and relationships to identify state-funding opportunities for community advancement and economic development projects. The total amount for the oneyear contract is $12,000. The remain-

Wabash Marketplace, Wabash County, and other communities they are able to attract jobs. “Obviously the business park is in the works,” he added. “They’re in the process of attracting a new business but it doesn’t happen overnight. You’ve got to remember that, when attracting jobs we’re in competition with every community. I think people that are involved with economic development are doing a very good job. ”I think the economic development of the business park on the north side of town is the most important project. I think it’s important to get quality employers out there so Wabash can grow … there’s a lot of ways money trickles down.” Preston Miracle started things off by declaring that lack of jobs was the biggest problem facing Wabash, in his opinion. “Over the last 10 years Wabash has lost about 1,200 people,” he continued, “and I believe that’s because there are no jobs. That hurts not only the families, but it hurts the tax base in Wabash as well; we need to do (continued on page 7)

ing $6,000 will be requested from the City of Wabash’s CEDIT funds. The commissioners also granted this request. The contract will be effective May 1, 2011. Also during the meeting, County H i g h w a y Superintendent John Martin requested permission to attend a conference in Indianapolis on June 1 and 2 and Wabash County Clerk Elaine Martin requested permission to send her staff to a software user meeting in Fishers on May 11. The commissioners granted both requests as well as an additional request from Martin to travel to Cass County to view their vote center. The clerk also reported that her vendor located $52,000 in Title IV-D reimbursement funds for the past two years, which was much more than

expected. The vendor will now handle the Title IV-D reporting for the Clerk’s Office in order to ensure that the County is receiving as much reimbursement as possible. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land reported that 82 persons are currently incarcerated in the Wabash County Jail and he requested permission to begin the hiring process to replace a retiring officer. E m e r g e n c y Management Agency and Central Dispatch Director Bob Brown gave a report on the recent severe weather experienced in Wabash County. He informed the commissioners that damage occurred in Speicherville and that a large grain bin on CR 700 W in Roann was damaged.

City council more to attract jobs. “We have to get employers to town and we have to bring jobs to town so families can prosper in Wabash, which also helps the tax base in Wabash. I think tax abatements should be used and we have to look at the employer. What are they offering as far as wages and benefits; the more they’re offering their workers should affect the tax abatements.” Miracle went on to express issue with the choices that have been made regarding the new business park. “To me the new business park is kind of crazy,” he added. “We’re getting 200+ acres of undeveloped land and we’ve got plenty of land where the other industrial park is, and it’s already developed. I believe we could have bought the land in the current industrial park cheaper.” District 4 Pat Lynn, an incumbent council member, stressed the fact that

Wabash must not only grow new jobs, but must grow new jobs while retaining the ones here already. In her opinion, the new business park is important to the city for a number of reasons. “Not only will the new industrial park grow jobs for us, it will also solve part of our flooding problem in District 4 with the retention ponds that we’re going to be able to build,” she said. “But most important is the jobs; we need to get more of our people employed with a good wage that can support their families. “The new park will give us a heads up. I want us to be ready so that when a company wants to come in we don’t have to say, ‘Well we have to get more ground, we have to get options, we have to work with the electrical company; we can’t offer you this right now, we could maybe in six months.’ I think we should be proactive

7 candidates... Continued from page 6 www.thepaperofwabash.com

on that and I’m glad we’ve gotten that ground now.” Now that the ground has been acquired, Lynn suggests a “cooperative spirit” in order to ensure the community attracts businesses. “We have to cooperate with the people whose job it is [to bring jobs into Wabash] and that’s the E c o n o m i c Development Group,” she continued. “They’re the ones who go out and promote us and they’re the ones that bring [businesses] in. The Economic Development Group is the one that goes shopping for them, and we’re lucky to have them.” Paul Lewis is a former council member and although he believes some great changes have taken place in Wabash, he doesn’t like what he has seen at council meetings lately. “I think one of the biggest issues is representation,” he

explained. “I’ve been at council meetings, and I see who represents their district and who doesn’t. One of the things I’ve done is travel through the 4th district and talk to people to see if they feel like they’re getting enough representation as a district.” Lewis went on to explain his stance on tax abatements, because while he is in favor of tax abatements for industry, he is adamantly against residential tax abatement. “I voted against residential tax abatement … because I think it benefits only those who can afford it,” he added. “It doesn’t help the poor, and we have plenty of poor in Wabash. So I was opposed to residential tax abatement for those reasons, but when it comes to tax abatement for industry I’m 100 percent behind it.” Lewis also stated that he would support any industry wanting

to locate in the new business park once it is “shovel ready”. According to the Indiana Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation, the new business park was one of nine sites throughout the state deemed “shovel ready” on Sept. 17, 2010.

Annual luncheon recognizes honor students On April 21, the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce and the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce co-hosted the 10th Annual Honor Student Luncheon, which was academically sponsored by Manchester College, in the Honeywell Center. The purpose of the event was to honor top graduating seniors from the county high schools, and to have an opportunity to encourage

Vote 3932

local talent to return to their home for employment opportunities during the summers or after graduation from their college experience. Students were seated by area of interest with businesspersons who could speak to those interests. After a warm welcome by Stuart Jones, dean of enrollment and executive director of the Success Center for Manchester College, attendees were led in

for

the invocation by Tony Pulley, of the Investment Center at Crossroads Bank. The students enjoyed a formal lunch while gaining valuable networking experience with business/education attendees. Students were invited to introduce themselves and share future plans, while employers let attendees know what job opportunities awaited them here in Wabash. Keynote speaker was artist and local

business owner, Karen J. Eilts-Walter. Eilts-Walter shared her journey from Northfield High School graduate through college and on to Los Angeles where she worked in TV production on many popular shows. After seven years, she decided to come “home” to Wabash and start her family with her h u s b a n d , Christopher Walter. On her return home she became involved in the family business, Hank’s Construction, and eventually became part owner. She also opened Make It Your Own Art Studio. She was able to stayed involved in television by working at the Indianapolis 500 with ESPN/ABC. She encouraged her student audience to certainly spread

their wings and take advantage of those opportunities, but not forget they could come back to their roots and share their talents from here. Over 100 students and educators were sponsored by local businesses. Students being honored included: Claire Brumbaugh-Smith, Taylor Byers, Greg Callahan, Kieron Clark, Kaytlyn Eberly, David Francis, Joshua Hanback, Skyler Honeycutt, Aric Howard, Taylor Johnson, Mariah Landes, Lana Miller, Adelyn Naragon, Elizabeth Schilling, Michael Seitz, Andrea Sharfman, Hannah Sharfman, Alex Sharfman, Stephanie Sparks, Katie Underwood, Laure Wagoner, Paige Woods, all of Manchester High School; Shannon Brown, Taylor Chittick, Heather Davenport, Cameron Dawes, Kaitlyn DeVries, Quinn Hanneken, Evan Huiras, Ciara Keffaber, Tanner McCarty, Madison Mullenix, Amy Ou, Morgan Peas, Alicia Ratcliff, Haley Richardson, Bailey Shear, Erik Short, Aaron Smith, Taylor Stearley, Joshua Unger, Mackenzie Wright, all of Northfield High School; Craiggan Bozarth, Rachael Bridegroom, Olivia Forthofer, Courtney Gardner, Rebecca Haynes, Brittany Hobson, Rico Jones, Mindy Metz, Dakota Oliver, David Prater, Heather Rapp, Weston Rogers, Logan Schneider, Katelyn Smith, Chandler Sonafrank, Jared Stouffer, Brooke Vielee, Erin Williams, Shiloh Wilson, Tyler Wright, John

Yarnelle, all of Southwood High School; Angel Barlow, Jessica Bodge, Courtney Coble, Christopher Conliff, Joseph Eakright, Jenna Ferguson, Kasey French, Kaleigh Hensley, Alex Hentgen, Brock Ireland, Christian Macaluso, Haleigh Mann, Kyle Merriman, Neil Miller, Angel Miller, Brandon Miller, Trevor Patton, Rebecca Penn, David Shepherd, Michael Williams, all of Wabash High School; and Caleb Borneman and Caleb Scharbrough, both of White’s High School. Indiana has been faced with a statewide problem commonly referred to as the “brain drain.” Indiana is turning out a great group of educated young people who then turn to other states for their first employment opportunities. This lunch is one effort at encouraging our group of talented young people to consider their hometown, or at least home area, in their future plans. This is an opportunity for us to extend this message before outside sources have an opportunity to attract their talents. This is also a special opportunity for the entire group of Wabash County Honor Students to gather together. Sponsoring businesses for the luncheon included: Abresist Kelenborn Corporation; Allen Insurance Agency; Batteries Plus; Beacon Credit Union; Benson & Son Plumbing /Heating; Charley Creek Foundation; City of Wabash; Community Foundation of

Trooper Detective T.J. Zeiser promoted to sergeant

T.J. Zeiser Indiana State Police Superintendent Paul Whitesell, Ph.D., recently announced the promotion of Trooper Detective T.J. Zeiser to the rank of sergeant. In his new assignment, Zeiser will serve as a squad leader at the Indiana State Police Peru Post, which includes Cass, Fulton, Grant, Howard, Miami, Tipton and Wabash counties. Zeiser received his promotion through written testing, job performance evaluations and a competitive interview process. Zeiser graduated from the Indiana State Police Academy

April 27, 2011

in December 2001 and was assigned to the Indiana State Police Peru Post, where he worked road patrol in Miami County. Zeiser is a field training officer and a member of the Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Enforcement Team. Prior to his promotion, Zeiser was assigned to the Indiana State Police C r i m i n a l Investigation Division as a detective, working from the Peru Post. Preceding his assignment as a detective, Zeiser was assigned to the Indiana State Police Drug Enforcement Section, where he worked as the marijuana eradication officer for the Indiana State Police Peru Post. Sergeant Zeiser holds an associate’s degree in criminal justice from Indiana University East. He resides in Miami County with his wife, Shawna, and their three children.

A new online tool to help farmers decide which cover crops will benefit their row crop rotation is now available in Indiana. Purdue University and the Midwest Cover Crops Council (MCCC) teamed up to release the MCCC Cover Crop Decision Tool, which uses consolidated cover crop information by state or province to assist farmers in making cover crop selections at the county level. Developing information for each state or province were u n i v e r s i t y re s e a rch e r s, Extension educators, Natural Resources Conservation Service personnel, state departments of agriculture personnel, crop advisers, seed suppliers and farmers. Purdue agronomy professors Eileen Kladivko and Keith Johnson contributed to the project. “The MCCC hopes

the cover crop selector tool will encourage the adoption of cover crops by providing the information and decisionmaking help necessary for farmers to successfully integrate cover crops into their cropping systems,” Kladivko said. Users of the tool select their state or province and county. They also can give information on their cash crops, including planting and harvest dates, field information such as the soil drainage class, artificial drainage or flooding, and desired cover crop benefits. Designed to be user-friendly, the tool allows users to immediately see how their input changes their cover crop options. Users can generate an information sheet for a selected cover crop that provides additional information and references rele-

vant to application within the state or province. The tool also has been completed for Michigan and Ohio, while other states and provinces are developing their information. When completed, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ontario will be added to the Webbased system. A Natural R e s o u r c e s Conservation

It’s that time of year to have “the talk” with some of the AYC youth. You know the talk you have with every young person, who lives in Indiana, in the spring. That’s right, explaining that one warm day does not mean winter is over. There is such excitement after that first day of relief from the cold, and such disappointment when the temperature drops again. It’s as if one day winter was gone forever and the next feels as if it will never leave. Seasons can sometimes toy with our emotions; seasons of life can too. Have you ever been in a tough situation and just when it began to improve the bottom seemed to fall out? Or maybe you

haven’t felt any relief from the season you are in and it feels as if things will always be this way. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” No matter what is going on in your life, it may be as bitter and harsh as any winter, please remember that seasons don’t last forever, they change, and your situation will too. AYC, 74 W. Canal St., Wabash, 260-5632070, is open for middle/high school only: Wednesday Teen Church, 7 - 8 p.m.; Friday Open Night, 7 10 p.m.; and Saturday Open Night, 6 - 9 p.m. They are open for all ages: Monday - Friday, 3:30 - 4:30 p.m., when school is in session.

Dear editor, Just a reminder to all you mushroom hunters this year: it is not a proven fact that mushrooms spread from year to year by their spores, although that is what I have always been told and I do believe this to be true. So just be on the safe side, let’s all do our part this year and remember to only use porous bags while hunting, such as a potato bag or on onion sack. Do you ever wonder why one year you can find all you can pick in one woods then go back the next year and find nothing. I think it has a lot to do with the spores and the weather, of course. So please, let’s all do our part this year and use porous bags. Thanks to all and happy hunting. Lucinda McDaniel

Gov. Daniels signs teacher contract bill Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels signed Senate Bill 575 (SB 575) into law recently, making it the first initiative of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putting Students Firstâ&#x20AC;? education agenda to achieve this milestone. The measure limits collective bargaining between school corporations and teachers unions to salary and wage related benefits while empowering school leaders to make decisions based on studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. While most of the law becomes effective July 1, two key provisions are effective immediately. First, current teacher contracts may not extend past the budget biennium. Second, districts may not collectively bargain teacher evaluation procedures or criteria. Teachers will still be involved in evaluation procedures and criteria through required discussions with school leadership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For school administrators across the state, this is a gamechanging moment for our schools,â&#x20AC;? said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gov. Daniels and Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislators have put students first by giving local school leaders the freedom to run local schools. Today, our students won the right to attend schools

focused purely on meeting their needs and securing their academic success.â&#x20AC;? Steve Yeager, Southwest Allen County Schools superintendent, added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;While an outsider may see SB 575 as an impediment to teacher/administrator communication, the truth is the law will allow for more teacher input throughout the district. Unfiltered and unlimited teacher input will lead to accelerated curricular enhancement in every classroom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both in the long and short term. The result will be educational improvement and instructional growth in every classroom, culminating in the significant academic improvement we desire for our students.â&#x20AC;? Reacting to the success of SB 575 and other key pieces of the education agenda, union representatives across the state have pressured school corporations to agree to long-term contracts that resist key elements of SB 575. With Daniels signing the bill, districts now benefit from the added flexibility in SB 575. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This law gives local school leaders the opportunity to raise academic achievement for all students,â&#x20AC;? said Lake Ridge Schools

Hazelwood family welcomes son

Matt and Jessie Hazelwood, Austin, Texas, are the parents of a son born Oct. 16, 2010, 8:30 a.m., in Austin, Texas. Jack Winston Hazelwood weighed 5 pounds, 4 ounces, and was 18 3/4 inches long. His mother is the former Jessie Johnson. Grandparents are Nancy and Mike Christman, North Manchester; Kelsey and Sherry Johnson, Bargersville; Hugh Hazelwood, Evansville; and Cathy Hazelwood, Evansville. Barbara Coppock, Indianapolis, is his greatgrandmother.

Superintendent Dr. Sharon JohnsonShirley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving forward, SB 575 will allow administrators and teachers to focus on the important issues that drive student success. Finally, all education stakeholders can work together to give our students the top-notch education they deserve.â&#x20AC;? Moreover, the law prevents contracts from handcuffing school leaders with clauses that are detrimental to student achievement. For example, some contracts limit the number of meetings a principal may have with instructors or prevent principals from assigning effective teachers to highneed classrooms. The new law works in partnership with SB 1, Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher quality legislation, to identify and reward excellent teachers and principals and end the seniority-only provisions that often determine reduction in force decisions as well as pay increases and professional protections.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wondering why the spring wild turkey hunting season starts as late as it does this year, DNR wildlife research biologist Steve Backs has an explanation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the first Wednesday after the 20th of April, so it can be the 21st to the 27th,â&#x20AC;? said Backs, of the datesetting process that is based partly on biology and partly on courtesy to hunters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the reason that we went to standardized dates years ago is it gave us the opportunity to set up the season dates ahead of time so those people who plan their vacations would know when the turkey season was,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We (also) based it on biological knowledge so that we would intercept the peak of the second gobbling period as well as when most of the hens were incubating.â&#x20AC;? Backs provides more detail about this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s April 27 opener and other turkey topics in a series of video clips that can be viewed online at www.hunting.in.gov/6417.htm. The same web address also has the 2011 Turkey Hunting Guide. The downloadable guide contains information that every turkey hunter should know, including license requirements, bag limits, hunting hours, equipment regulations; plus it has a comprehensive list of public hunting areas and contact information for DNR district

wildlife biologists and DNR law enforcement districts. The last time the spring turkey season opened on April 27 was in 2005, and hunters set a harvest record that year of 11,159 birds. The next year, the season opened April 26 and hunters again set a record harvest of 13,193. That record stood until last year when hunters set a new standard of 13,742 birds in a season, which began on the earliest possible date (April 21). This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring turkey season runs through May 15. Hunters are allowed one bearded or male turkey. A wild turkey hunting license and a game bird habitat stamp are required unless otherwise exempted. Exemptions are detailed in the online Turkey Hunting Guide. Backs said he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;cautiously optimisticâ&#x20AC;? about what hunters can expect this

spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to project that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to kill around 13,000-14,000 birds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we fall below 13,000 birds, given the summer brood production stuff, I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As usual, I tell people the highest percent-

age of the harvest occurs in the first five days of the season. However, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like hunting with the crowds, I suggest you hunt during the second and third weeks where we have a lot less pressure and still have plenty of birds to harvest.â&#x20AC;?

Peru man arrested for battery of son

Jason L. Bowman A recent battery investigation by Indiana State Police Detectives T.J. Zeiser and Bob Burgess resulted in the arrest of Jason L. Bowman, 36, Peru. Bowman was arrested without incident at his wrecker service business in Peru. He is incarcerated in the Miami County Jail to face two felony charges for battery causing injury and neglect of a dependent causing injury. He has a $10,000 bond. Detectives Zeiser

and Burgess started their investigation after receiving information from the Miami County Division of the I n d i a n a Department of Child Services (DCS) that a 12year-old Miami County boy had suffered injuries allegedly caused by his father. The injuries were first reported to DCS by officials from the elementary school the boy attended. The investigation revealed that the boy had a deep bruise to the left side of his head and scratches on his arms and back. The injuries were pur por tedly caused by Bowman, who is the boy’s father. The boy was checked by medical staff at Duke’s M e m o r i a l Hospital, but did not require med-

Pair arrested on four counts of fraud A recent criminal investigation by Indiana State Police Detective Mike Tarrh resulted in the arrests of Joseph Cass, 35, Peru, and John Phillips, 33, Walton. They were each served with a Howard Superior Court II arrest warrant alleging four class D felony counts each for fraud. They were incarcerated in the Howard County Jail, each with a bond of $ 1,500. They have since bonded out. In early February, Detective Tarrh initiated his investigation after a Miami County woman reported losing her debit card. A few hours after noticing her card was missing, she observed at least five unautho-

rized purchases at various retailers, in Miami and Howard counties, on her account. There was approximately $470 in purchases made before the card was deactivated. Detective Tarrh was able to obtain video surveillance footage from a Howard County gas station, where one of the unauthorized purchases was made. The footage purportedly showed two white males using the card to make a purchase. The video was circulated to surrounding law enforcement agencies. Officers from the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department identified Joseph Cass as possibly being one of the suspects in the video. The

other male was identified by officers from the Cass County Sheriff ’s Department as possibly being John Phillips. Cass surrendered at the Howard County Jail. Phillips was arrested without incident at his mother’s home in Walton. Citizens are reminded to report lost or stolen credit cards immediately to the issuing bank. Banking and credit card statements should be monitored for unauthorized charges. If fraudulent charges are noticed, report it to law enforcement. Officers from the Converse Police Department also assisted with this investigation.

Indiana law enforcement Animal Shelter expresses thanks for donation agencies increase speed patrols

In an effort to reduce the number of speed-related deaths and injuries on Hoosier roadways, the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) has awarded Dangerous Driving Enforcement (DDE) grants to 29 local law enforcement agencies, including the Indiana State Police, to aggressively target speeding motorists. Motorists can expect to see a greater police presence on roadways beginning this month, as participating agencies increase their efforts to target and ticket motorists who drive above posted speed limits. While speed enforcement is a yearround priority, many law enforcement agencies will be stepping up their efforts over the coming weeks. In 2010, 18 percent of fatalities and 12 percent of injuries sustained in Indiana

traffic collisions involved speed. In fact, nearly 10 percent of all collisions that occurred in Indiana involved a driver who was speeding. “Speed limits exist to protect motorists,” said ICJI Traffic Safety Division Director Ryan Klitzsch. “Anytime a driver disregards the posted speed limit, their chances for being involved in a collision increase exponentially.” According to the National Highway T r a f f i c Administration (NHTSA), crash data since 1995 shows a continuous increase in the number of deaths and injuries attributed to speed. Despite gains in vehicle safety and passenger protection, thousands of Americans still die each year in speed-related crashes.

Dear editor, We would like to give special thanks to Beth Knuth, Wabash, for donating a nice washer and dryer set to be used at the animal shelter. Her kindness is very much appreciated and the items will surely come in handy. Wabash County Animal Shelter staff

Detective Tarrh was able to obtain video surveillance footage from a Howard County gas station, where one of the unauthorized purchases was made. The footage purportedly showed two white males using the card to make a purchase. The video was circulated to surrounding law enforcement agencies. Officers from the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department identified Joseph Cass as possibly being one of the suspects in the video. The other male was identified

by officers from the Cass County S h e r i f f ’ s Department as possibly being John Phillips. Cass surrendered at the Howard County Jail. Phillips was arrested without incident at his mother’s home in Walton. Citizens are reminded to report lost or stolen credit cards immediately to the issuing bank.

Church Women United announces nationwide May Friendship Day

TOM COCHRAN, preacher of New Journey Community Church, organized Operation Egg Drop, which was held April 23 at Field of Dreams. Thousands of eggs were dropped into a soccer field by helicopter. When the helicopter completed its mission, Mayor Robert Vanlandingham gave the signal and hundreds of children of all ages charged onto the field to collect the 12,000 eggs, which contained candy and coupons for free goldfish from J&K’s MEGA PET!, day passes to the Wabash County YMCA and other things. Cochran was pleased with the outcome and attendance of the event. (photo by Danielle Smith)

The Church Women United celebration called May Friendship Day (MFD) is an annual event nationwide. This year it is scheduled for May 6, in the chapel at Peabody R e t i r e m e n t Community, beginning at 9:30 a.m. with refreshments. Women and men from all faith congregations and other interested individuals are cordially invited. Childcare is provided for the duration of the event. The Fellowship of the Least Coin (FLC), a worldwide movement now in service for more than 50 years, is part of the CWU May Friendship Day cele-

bration. The 2011 May Friendship Day centers around passing on “the key” and living our friendship with each other. Looking at women in the Bible, like Miriam and the three women at the tomb of Jesus, who actively and fearlessly shared that “key”, the good news, with their friends, we continue their mission still today. In the book, Words to Love By, Mother Theresa said, “Jesus has said very clearly, I am the Love to be loved, the Life to be lived, the Joy to be shared, the Bread to be eaten, The truth to be told, the Light to be lit, the Peace to be given. Jesus is everything!”

Indeed, Jesus is the “key”! Looking over the past 70 years, Church Women United has been able to survive because of the many women who have shared their beliefs, their desire to create peace in our communities, and their insistence to create equality for all women. We continue to share their friendship by coming together to celebrate each other, to welcome and increase the number of those new to the movement of CWU and to remember those who have gone before us. The key is still being passed on in 2011.

Moore invites residents to monthly C3 meetings

Dear editor, Does anyone remember a time when our government had such apparent financial problems, the answers seemed fairly obvious and so many had so little desire, common sense, intestinal fortitude or patriotism to take the necessary steps? I believe it is our own fault. The past shows that “We, the people” have been more than happy to vote for the one who promised the biggest check with no concern where the money would come from as long as it wasn’t from our wallet. Now we have a 14 trillion dollar national debt, which is headed upward, approximately two trillion dollar yearly deficit, half the population on the dole and a president that either doesn’t understand simple math or doesn’t care that we face certain bankruptcy after he’s out of office, of course. I also believe that “We, the people” finally get it. The spending has to stop. Don’t let anyone convince you that raising taxes on the “rich” will solve the p r o b l e m . Confiscating all the wealth in this country will not be enough to fix it. The only solution that

offers a glimmer of hope is to elect Senators and Representatives who are willing to take a stand for fiscal responsibility. Great strides in that direction were made in November 2010 and some lessons were learned. From those lessons the Hoosiers for a Conservative Senate (HFCS) emerged. HFCS has been organized to solidify support for one appropriate candidate to prevent having votes for a change in direction being split multiple ways with the elite candidate securing the victory. C3, Wabash County’s Tea Party, will host Greg Fettig on May 2 at their monthly meeting. Fettig, a representative of HFCS, will explain the procedures for endorsing one candidate running for Senator from Indiana in 2012. The meeting will take place at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ at 7 p.m. The C3 board works very hard to bring informational meetings on current concerns to the public. Replacing Senator Lugar, who has apparently contracted DCitis, is one of those concerns. C.L. Bryant will keynote the June

meeting, which is dedicated to appreciation for our local pastors and the moral issues of good government and fiscal responsibility. Set aside the first

I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET YOUR NEW REPORTER for the LaFontaine and Somerset news column. My name is Ethel Eib; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been married to Larry for 18 years. Between us we have six children, seven grandchildren

and two great-grandchildren. My parents were Ralph and Grace Himelick, and I had three brothers and two sisters. I graduated from LaFontaine High School in 1961, and retired from Marion General Hospital in 2005 after 28 years. My three children all graduated from Southwood High School. I am a member of the LaFontaine Christian Church, LaFontaine Lions, LaFontaine Literary Club, LaFontaine Ashland Days Festival Committee and Dietary M a n a g e r s Association. I like to sew, crochet, cook, do Sudoku, and go to flea markets and auctions.

I have recently started reading books in the last two months. My baby sister, Clarissa, has always been reading and I never understood why. Now I understand how much I missed by not reading. I would like to hear from anyone who has news about their family, church, clubs, town board meeting, birthdays, anniversaries or anything that you would like Wabash County to know.

Host Apaches claim first Wabash Classic softball tournament by Brent Swan The Wabash Lady Apaches softball team captured its own Wabash Classic softball tournament held April 23. Coming into the tournament following a 12-6 defeat, on April 21, at Fort Wayne Northrop, the Lady Apaches started the day off quickly against Fort Wayne Canterbury. Kayla Sparling led the Lady Apaches on the mound, striking out nine Canterbury hitters to register Wabash’s first victory of the season. Sparling also went three for three at the plate with two doubles, a triple, two RBI’s and a stolen base.

Paige Worrick added a double and an RBI, while Haleigh Mann connected on a double of her own. “The Lady Apaches are becoming more confident and creating a stronger offense, while improving their defense and committing fewer errors,” Coach Shirley Minnick said. The Apaches then faced TRC foe Tippecanoe Valley, a 10-0 winner over Fort Wayne, in the final. The Lady Apaches came out equally strong against the Vikings, scoring nine runs off of eight walks coupled with two timely hits

and a pair of Viking errors. At the plate, the Lady Apaches were again paced by Kayla Sparling who went two for four with two RBI’s in the championship. Paig Worrick and Brittany Stone added doubles, while Tritan Cruz chipped in a double. Jazmine Sutton struck out six Valley hitters to go with no walks in a complete game victory for the Lady Apaches. “Each Lady Apache played a role in achieving our two victories at this point,” Minnick added. “As their confidence grows, so does their ability.”

KAYLA SPARLING legs out a triple during the Lady Apaches’ 10-0 rout of Fort Wayne Canterbury during the inaugural Wabash Classic softball tournament. In the championship game, Wabash defeated Tippecanoe Valley 10-3. (photo by Brent Swan)

April 7, at the town hall. President Keith Ford opened the meeting by introducing guests, District Governor Paul Richards and his wife. The members then gave the pledge of allegiance to the American flag. In old business, a report was given that the poles near the track where the lawn mower races are held will be set soon and wiring installed for electricity at the track. Aaron Turner and Matt Powell reported that two lawn mower race dates have already been set for April 30, at 3 p.m., and May 28, at 4 p.m. In new business, the area Lions Club have been asked to donate $50 to the Urbana Lions for a scholarship fund for a student who will be attending college for a degree in hearing and seeing therapy. A motion was made and seconded to give a donation to the Urbana Lions club to assist this young lady in this career. A nominating committee will serve in seeking officers for the 2012. The committee is Vonell Krom and Janet Shoue. The District Governor, Paul

Richards, shared several ideas and opportunities for Lions Clubs to pursue. One project called simply The Dictionary Project would provide every child in the third grade with their own dictionary. A lot of extra helpful study items were also included in the dictionary. He encouraged the members to contact the schools about this. Each dictionary would cost the Lions Club $1.75 each. In closing, Paul reminded members that we can be a beacon of hope and a lighthouse to others but we must let our light shine. Members present were Matt Powell, Aaron Turner, Vonell Krom, Russell Krom, Danny Shoemaker, Janet Shoue, Roger and Donna Harman. (From the minutes of the Roann Lions.)

Attention Denture Wearers:

Considering a New Lower?

A new lower may NOT be the answer to your problems! Due to the bone loss which occurs once teeth are removed, it is often difficult to be satisfied with a lower denture. Through the use of DENTAL IMPLANTS and the security they offer, loose lower dentures will no longer be a problem.

Wabash community bids farewell to Hall with reception

A FOND FAREWELL: Parker Beauchamp (left), president of the Wabash Marketplace, Inc. Board of Directors, joins the Wabash community in honoring J.P. Hall (right) with a farewell reception following his resignation as WMI executive director. Hall, who was instrumental to numerous downtown projects, is leaving Wabash to assume the duties of Eastern Region Director for Indiana Landmarks, the largest statewide preservation group in the country. (photo by Shaun Tilghman)

by Shaun Tilghman On April 20, members of the Wabash community gathered at a reception, held in the Cloud Club at Charley Creek Inn, to bid farewell to J.P. Hall, Wabash Marketplace, Inc. (WMI) executive director.

Hall recently announced his resignation from WMI and has accepted a position with Indiana Landmarks, a nonprofit organization that works to defend architecturally unique, historically significant and communally cherished

properties. He will serve as the organization’s Eastern Region Director, thus he and his family will be relocating to the Richmond-area. “ I n d i a n a Landmarks is the largest statewide preservation group in the country,” Hall

said. “I’ll be in charge of a 13-county area directly east of Indianapolis, where I’ll be an advocate for preservation and a resource for municipalities and nonprofit organizations. So this is kind of a bigger scale in terms of geography and I’m excited about this great opportunity.” During his time with WMI, Hall played a vital role in various downtown projects, including: enhancements through business façade grants and funding, the organization and publicity of the Farmer’s Market, facilitation of property sales, promotion of the “Do It Downtown” campaign, and working for the overall betterment of Downtown Wabash. “I’ve invested a lot of time and built relationships with a lot of great volunteers over the years so it’s kind of sad that I’m leaving and will no longer be a part of some of the great projects Marketplace has been

working on,” Hall explained. “With that being said, I have all the hope in the world for Wabash, specifically downtown because I think there could be just one great project after another down here. I have a lot of hope that it will continue because I know it’s not dependent on me;

it’s dependent on so many other people – volunteers, the organization, the board of directors, etc.” Parker Beauchamp, WMI Board of Directors president, added, “J.P. has been instrumental in taking the organization from having a parttime director to being a full-fledged, fully

Thorne Insurance comes to North Manchester

by Aaron Turner A family-owned business planted its roots in North Manchester recently with the acquisition of Scheerer

Insurance. Kevin Killen is a fourth-generation owner of the family business, which has been in operation since 1928 in

Huntington County. A New Paris store was later added, and a Wabash branch, so the next natural step would be a North Manchester

office. “One of the things we really pride ourselves on is our accessibility to the customers,” Killen said. “We have seven

major insurance carriers where most agencies have two or three. “But above all that, we’re here for the customer ... so much so that

if a farmer would like to meet us at their house, that would be just fine with us.” The business will be known as “Thorne Insurance, Sheerer Agency” and will remain in its location in historic downtown North Manchester. “It’s good to be centrally located,” Sheerer said. “We renovated our office a couple years ago, so we’re fit to accommodate all of our customers.” Killen’s passion for his clients, though, is the difference maker. “Do you want a guy that you see once every 10 or 12 years to insure your property and possessions, or someone that’s willing to come to your door and actually get to know you?” Killen said. “We’re tailored to the farmer — I grew up on a farm and that’s still my hobby, so when we go over a piece of equipment, we actually know what’s being talked about. “We even go a step farther and text message farmers with grain updates from the markets just as a courtesy. “All our claims are handled in house, and I believe no one else in the county does that, which is important for not-at-fault accidents,” Killen said. Thorne Insurance started with just life insurance in 1928, but since 1943, the company has broadened its base to include multiperil, health insurance, 401Ks,

IRAs. Sheerer will remain in the office as a fulltime agent while Jason Dawes and David Callahan will be the branch managers. The seven carriers are: Western Reserve Group, Indiana Farmer’s Mutual, Auto Owners, Celina, Erie Insurance, Progressive and State Auto. “We offer the same insurance as anyone else in town,” Killen said. “It’s just a matter of who do you want the best service from. “In our opinion, it’s what we can offer that sets us apart from the other insurance companies. “We’re keeping all of George’s clients, and looking to add more. “If you think we could be a good fit, we’re here for the customers and I make it a point to be in the office at least once a week, which right now, is on Wednesdays.” Killen also said that specialty insurance is within the norm with Thorne Insurance. “We can do anything, event wise, from balloon rides to demolition derbies,” he said. “There are very few things we can’t do.” For more on Thorne Insurance, stop by the facility at 114 W. Main St. in North Manchester or visit the company’s website at www.thorneinsuranceagency.com. A direct email for Killen is thorneinsurance@yaho o.com.

Wabash County Hospital representative speaks at April 11 Kiwanis meeting For the April 11 Kiwanis meeting, Nutritionalist Mary Schaeffer of the W a b a s h County Hospital spoke on diabetes and healthy lifestyle s. It was also announced that the Kiwanis Club will be attending the chartering of the N o r t h f i e l d Builders Club on April 15. The Annual SelfReliance Awards Luncheon will be held at the Honeywell Center on April 26. The 2011 class reading books were delivered to all local fifth-graders this week by Howard H a l d e r m a n , Kiwanis Reading Program Chair. This is the 15th year Kiwanis has sponsored this program. Karen Newhouse,

Wabash County Hospital, joined the April 19 Kiwanis meeting to share with the group some of the upcoming functions and goals of the Hospital Foundation. They are raising money this year for new high definition surgical equipment. The two main events that the Hospital Foundation is putting on this year are the Golf Scramble on June 23 and the Gala on Nov. 12. The Gala will be featuring “Wabash County’s Got Talent”, so if you or anyone you know would like to be part of the talent or part of any of the Foundation’s events, please contact Karen Newhouse or check out their website at www.wchospital.com

Wabash community bids farewell.... Continued from page 27 downtown area.” Although Hall expressed his sadness over leaving, he also admitted being excited about moving on to his new job and new challenges. “I’m happy that I’m leaving Marketplace in a good way,” he continued. “I’m not concerned or worried about leaving because I think there is great buy-in in terms of the community. I think one good thing is that we’ve really sold downtown as being an asset, so there is a success we can be proud of. ”I wish Wabash all the best, even though I don’t think they necessarily need it because I think they’re on the right track. I know that Wabash is looked to by many communities in the state as being an example of what to do. I’m going to take what I learned here, apply it there, and hopefully make a difference.”

According to Beauchamp, the board of directors’ main goal is to carry on the energy that was created while Hall was here, along with all the projects that were started. “I’d say J.P.’s entrepreneurial style really built the organization into a place where we can have somebody come in and pick up where he left off, more or less,” Beauchamp said. “And while we are sad to see him go, we recognize that this is an exceptional career opportunity and [we’re] excited for him and his family.”
