Honor Flight attendees have opportunity to share experience through Honor Flight The Movie

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com In November 2012, there were an estimated 1.4 million WWII veterans living out of the 16 million who served. In an effort to honor these men one last time before it’s too late, the Honor Flight Network provides a free day trip to Washington D.C. for WWII veterans, who are dying at a rate of nearly 1,000 per day. The Honor Flight Network has sent over 100,000 veterans on this trip, and Freethink Media created a documentary about four WWII veterans who took advantage of the opportunity. The North Manchester American Legion Post #286 will present Honor Flight the movie at the North Manchester High School Performing Arts on April 20, at 2 p.m., and again at 7 p.m. “This movie is really to show the families of the veterans who went on the trip what their day was like,” Dave Terflinger of the North Manchester Post # 286 told The Paper of Wabash in an interview. The Northeast Indiana Honor Flight hub has sent almost 500 WWII veterans, and several veterans from Wabash County are part of that number. Bart Corricelli, a North Manchester resident and a WWII veteran who served in the Marine Corps went on an Honor Flight in 2010. “From the time we got off the plane, I have never in my life experienced what I went through there,” Bart told The Paper of Wabash. “There were two lines of people on each side. Everyone was baring flags and flowers. All the way through that thing, I have never been hugged or kissed so many times. These people made me feel like I won that war all by myself. It was absolutely fantastic. When we left and got back on the bus, I said ‘Let’s go back and do this again,’ but they wouldn’t let me,” Bart said with a laugh. “When you walk through a row of them flags, it does something to you. It was wonderful,” added Charlie Craig, also a North Manchester resident and WWII veteran who served in the Navy. “They really, really make you feel welcomed,” he said. The main goal of the Honor Flight is to bring veterans to see their memorial. Although WWII veterans are top priority, Korean and Vietnam veterans are also being accepted because WWII veterans are limited. “It was awe inspiring; it was beautiful,” said Bart. After asking about Indiana, Bart noticed that each state was represented. “It was the absolute greatest thing. Each state had its own section. I ran right over to mine and had my picture taken,” he said. During the Honor Flight, each veteran is assigned a guardian to assist with any needs. Guardians are volunteers who pay their own way. Sons or daughters of the veterans may act as a guardian if they meet the qualifications. Gerald Pankop, a WWII Army veteran who also went on an honor flight said, “I had a guardian who was a surgical nurse

from South Bend. She took wonderful care of me. She pushed me in a wheel chair and never complained. Every year I send her a Christmas and Easter card. Her name is Kaye Koziatek.” All three veterans highly recommend the Honor Flight to other veterans. “What I marvel about the people that put this on for the WWII soldiers, is it just flows, and it’s done so easily. Any veteran should take advantage of the Honor Flight. Just fill out an application and go,” said Charlie. “A lot of guys were in wheel chairs, and I’ve got to hand it to some of the guys that braved the aches and pains to get out there,” said Bart. Both Charlie and Bart agree that the trip was fantastic, and they both have the same complaint – that a memorial for WWII veterans didn’t come soon enough. “The worst thing I thought about it was, I had a bunch of buddies of mine that died and didn’t get to see that thing. It bothers me that it took them 65 years to do this. We were hanging out there like a dead fish on a hook, and then they say hey, let’s build one for the old guys. Or what’s left of them. For those of us that are fortunate enough to see it, it is awe inspiring, but I cannot forget the fact that a lot of my buddies didn’t get to see it,” said Bart. As for the movie, it will give people the opportunity to see what the veterans experienced that day. Bart’s wife, Phyllis, plans to attend. “I think it will be very nice to see it,” she said. Phyllis had a brother who died in the war, and she will get the opportunity to experience the trip that honors her husband and brother through film. Bart also had three brothers who served in the Army in WWII. “This generation (WWII veterans), when they got back from war, they didn’t talk about it. They just went back to work and raised their families,” Dave said. Charlie agreed and said, “When we came home we got off the bus and went back to work. There was no celebration.” “Yeah, there was no parade. The only people there when we left and when we got back were the Salvation Army with coffee and donuts. And I have a high regard to them. They have a soft spot. They were the last ones to see us off and first ones to see us back,” Bart added. According to the Honor Flight the movie website, this is the first time many of the veterans have been thanked. The website states,” It’s uncommon for World War II veterans to talk about the War, but the Honor Flight experience brings their stories out. Many veterans say, with the exception of their wedding day and the birth of their children, the trip is the best day of their life.” To learn more about the Honor Flight visit www.honorflight.org. Tickets to the Honor Flight movie are available at Legion Posts in North Manchester, Pierceton and Lagro or at the V.F.W. in Wabash.

WWII VETERANS GERALD PANKOP, BART CORRICELLI and his wife Phyllis, and Charlie Craig all plan on attending the Honor Flight the movie viewing April 20.

Economic Development Group of Wabash County holds annual meeting by Brent Swan On April 11, area business leaders and government officials met at the Charley Creek Inn’s Big Four Ballroom as the Economic Development Group (EDG) of Wabash County hosted its annual meeting. EDG President and CEO Bill Konyha gave his opening remarks prior to introducing the keynote speaker, Indiana Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann. “Our personal incomes in the region and in Wabash County have fallen steadily since about 1980,” Konyha said. “In the past three years, according to the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis, the per capita in the region grew slightly more than nine percent. The per capita income in Wabash County has risen 14.3 percent. We are doing the right things.” According to Konyha, Wabash County was also able to improve its educational attainment level by 24.3 percent – a shift he believes will continue to attract jobs to the county. “We’ve suffered through some industrial disinvestment that we all know about,” Konyha said of the jobs lost during the recession. “Since Aug. 1, 2006, EDG has assisted the private sector create 1,064 jobs, adding more than $33 million in new payroll. We are moving towards a 21st century, knowledge

based economic model and further from the old smokestack model of the past.” While addressing the crowd of over 100 guests, Lt. Gov. Ellspermann spoke of her involvement in programs such as the Office of Community Affairs (OCRA) and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA). “The IHCDA provides funding for new construction and rehabilitation housing for low-income individuals as well as housing activities for homebuyer assistance,” Lt. Gov. Ellspermann said of the program. “We leverage government and private funds to invest in financially sound, well-designed projects that will benefit communities for many years to come.” Lt. Gov. Ellspermann also updated guests about some of the legislation Gov. Pence is attempting to get through this legislative session, including the creation of a Secretary of Commerce position, who will be responsible for taking a proactive approach to attracting jobs and businesses to the State of Indiana. “The state budget is moving through,” Lt. Gov. Ellspermann said. “Our proposed tax cuts in the state budget lets people know that we are fis(continued on page 5)

Poole’s Meats went to Heartland Career Center to help the students learn how to fabricate different cuts of pork. The Indiana Pork Board purchased a pig from Dawes and Dawes Farm, and donated it to Heartland Career Center to sponsor the pork fabrication in Chef Luzadder’s class. “Barb and Scott Dawes are the ones who raised the pig for us and the Pork Board has allowed us to actually grind sausage and stuff it. We’ve done ribs and roasts and pork chops. It has been an extremely great relationship, where the community is working with us as a culinary school and it’s giving the kids a hands on experience,” Chef Luzadder told The Paper. The class is made up of juniors and seniors that are aspiring chefs. They started out with 42 students that Chef Luzadder

They’re good students, with great grades, so they’re going to go far.” Luzadder explained that Heartland’s relationship with Dawes and Dawes Farm started about two years ago. The Dawes’ have had the students at the farm to harvest their own vegetables to use in the kitchen. “We’ve served meals for the boards; that’s how the relationship started. They are just a jewel for this com-

munity; some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They are extremely helpful and I’m so glad that we’re able to do that.” This was the first year Ian McFarland had helped in the Heartland culinary class. He taught the students the more hands on way of cutting meat by using a hand saw as opposed to an electric saw. “They’re doing good. They’re showing a good interest in it,” said McFarland of the students. The grading

process in class is not only based on taste but also the students’ knowledge of the animal itself. “We go through the anatomy of what the cuts are and then they’ll have an opportunity to use this pig and they’ll be able to cook. We’ll grade them from their creativity and how they’re going to put the meat together. They can marinate it with a sauce, gravy, a stock, vegetables, and turn it into a dish that would be pleasing and appetizing,” according to Chef Luzadder”

Sen. Banks: House approves higher education transparency bill

A bill by State Sen. Jim Banks (RColumbia City) to increase transparency in higher education passed the House of Representatives today by a vote of 7418. Senate Bill 180 now returns to the Senate for final legislative review. SB 180 requires each state educational institution to prepare and publish a report on its grading and employment practices. This would include employee

salaries, faculty responsibilities and student grade point averages. A House amendment to the bill requires these reports to also include an analysis of each campus’s administrative expenditures. The Commission for Higher Education would then compile this data into a public annual report to the General Assembly for review. “Nationally, not enough is being done to hold our college

Rich products recall expanded Products were sold in Indiana Food items that were distributed in Indiana are being voluntarily recalled by Rich Products Corporation, following a multi-state outbreak of Shiga toxinp r o d u c i n g Escherichia coli 0121. Two cases have been reported in Indiana. Most of the recalled items, including mini frozen pizzas, mozzarella bites and mini quesadillas, among others, are under the brand names Farm Rich® and Market Day®. The recall covers all products produced at the company’s Waycross, GA, plant with “Best by” dates ranging from Jan. 1, 2013 to Sept. 29, 2014. Hoosiers are encouraged to check their freezers for these items, which have a shelf life of about 18 months.

and universities accountable,” Banks said. “This is why many students are seeing skyrocketing tuition costs, excessive red tape and questionable administrative practices. If we’re to provide our citizens with the best education possible, we must confront this issue and improve transparency in higher education as a whole.” Rep. Mike Karickhoff (RKokomo) is the bill’s House sponsor.

Bank of Indiana currently operates four bank locations in Dana, Bargersville, North Judson, and Hamlet, Indiana. The transaction is expected to close by within the third quarter of 2013 and is subject to regulatory approval. Gene Miles, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Farmers Bank and Trust stated, “The operational focus and service market areas of Bank of Indiana fit very well into the market

footprint of First Farmers Bank & Trust. Their core philosophy is analogous to ours as well with a significant focus on client communication and community bank values. Both organizations have demonstrated a longterm commitment and understanding to agricultural and commercial services with special attention given to individual customer care. The purchase and assumption of these types of operations into the First

Farmers Bank and Trust organizational structure fits perfectly into the long-term strategic plan for the corporation”. First Farmers Bank and Trust is an independently held $1.1 billion asset financial service provider bank based in Converse with over 475 stockholders and serving over 40,000 clients in the Midwest.

Champions for smoke-free pregnancies in Wabash County Local health care providers, social service professionals, and other health advocates are invited to attend a free workshop, Champions for S m o k e - f r e e Pregnancies in Wabash County, on Thursday, April 18 at the Honeywell Center, Nixon Room. Registration is from 2 to 2:30 p.m. with program starting at 2:30, ending at 4 p.m. The event is hosted by the Wabash, Miami, Cass, and Kosciusko County Tobacco Prevention Coalitions in partnership with Promoting Smokefree Pregnancies in Indiana (PSPI). The PSPI coalition, a statewide partner of the Indiana State Department of Health Tobacco Prevention and C e s s a t i o n Commission, is comprised of agencies

and individuals across Indiana dedicated to reducing the prevalence of smoking among women of childbearing age, particularly during pregnancy. In Indiana, approximately 17 percent of pregnant women smoke, nearly twice the national average. In Wabash County, 28 percent of expectant mothers smoke. Smoking during pregnancy is associated with a number of negative physical and mental outcomes including premature birth, low birth weight, asthma, and problems with learning and reading, among many others. The April 18 event will introduce participants to effective tools and techniques for providing tobacco cessation support to their patients and clients, with special emphasis on pregnant women.

Participants will hear from Dr. Michael Mull from the Peru American Health Network and Linda Mackey from Area 5, Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). “Tobacco cessation during pregnancy can be a sensitive, challenging task. We hope that hearing these champions’ success stories will inspire others who serve women and families to consider implementing some of the same simple practices,” said Dan Gray, Director of the Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition. Registration for the event is free but required by April 17. Register on the web form: www.formstack.com/forms/sm okefree-wabashcounty or for phone registrations or questions call Dan Gray at 260274-2920.

American pilot missing in Africa Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Repair and 24 Hour Towing ribbon cutting announced The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors announces Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Repair and 24 hour Towing Ribbon Cutting to be held on April 19, at 11:30 a.m., at their new location, 127 Manchester Ave, Wabash. Richard Simpson, owner of Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Repair and 24 hour Towing, has been in business for over 14 years. Rick started his first shop by leasing a building on Erie St in 1998. Although, Rick did not have the biggest and best facility in town he still managed to increase his clientele and build loyal relationships with his customers over the years with his quality service and low prices. Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream has always been to build his own repair and towing facility but the timing had to be right in order for his dream to be a success. Rick patiently searched for the perfect location. A little over a year ago his dream started becoming a reality when he purchased the first of three properties on Manchester Ave. Over the next few months Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perseverance led him to becoming the owner of the last two properties now having three empty

We are intent on maintaining our AAA credit rating, which means so much to the state, and continue to lower our corporate taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week was national community development week,â&#x20AC;? Lt. Gov. Ellspermann continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a few communities across the state that you can really point to that have had lots of economic success and Wabash County is certainly towards the top of that list.

commercial lots, in a prime location, on the corner of Manchester Ave. and Huntington St. His dream was now real and the construction began. Simpson is a big supporter of the Wabash Community having been a Wabash County Chamber member for the last three years. When choosing to build the new location he supported local businesses from financing through Crossroads Bank to using local construction companies for the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fortunate to have the support of Wabash County residents who do their business with us, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only natural for us to stay local when we are doing business and return the support to the Wabash community,â&#x20AC;? said Rick Simpson, owner of Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Repair and 24 hour Towing. The New Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Repair and 24 hour Towing is located at 127 Manchester Ave. We have over 50 years experience

The plane of American pilot, Jerry Krause, went missing on an Africa ferry flight of a Beech 1900C aircraft from South Africa to Mali Sunday, April 7. Jerry is a former Mission Aviation Fellowship missionary, but when MAF pulled out of Mali in 2009, Jerry stayed on with Sahel Aviation to continue serving there. Jerry has a wife, Gina, and three children. Jerry regularly uses an iPhone to communicate with his family stateside, and the iPhone was on at the time local authorities lost contact with the plane. French communications organization, Orange, who operate Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flight path to the island of Sao Tome, located off the west coast of Africa, and the last nine miles out from where they lost contact with him. They also searched the coastline area and near the airport. No signs of the aircraft have been discovered. There have been boats in the water, assisting with the search, but the family isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t certain as to how many or for how long. On the morning of April 12, a second search flight was scheduled to focus more along the coast and inland. The search came back unsuccess-

ful as they found no floating debris. The emergency location transmitter was not activated, making it unlikely that Jerry crashed and increasingly likely that he was forced to land in hostile territory and impossible to use as a tool for Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rescue. Orange holds the Krause familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best hope of finding Jerry, but remains uncooperative. Please tweet #findjerry and a link to www.findjerry.com to the following corporate board members of Orange as well as @orange and @orange-

f o u n d a t i o n : @BrunoMettling, @MarcRennard, @xaviercouture. You can also show your support by tweeting #findjerry and a ling to w w w. f i n d j e r r y. c o m . Those interested in sending prayer messages of encouragement can send to those prayersforjerry@gmail .com. If a representative from Orange is reading this, please contact helpusfindjerry@gmail.co m, so that Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family can connect you with the right people on the ground.

Earle invites the community to learn about scams Dear Editor, “I have such great news for you,” the voice on the phone said. “YOU HAVE WON FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!” Gee, all I had to do was send them $895. Who wouldn’t like to get $5 million for only $895? The victim will send money after money because they believe they will get millions. The victim dreams of paying off their debts and leaving money to their children. “Have you been the victim of a scam? Call us. We can help,” the ad reads. Of course they can. They are more than willing to help by taking more of your money. When people realize they have fallen for a scam, they are embarrassed. They do not want to tell their family or friends. Then they see an ad that offers them an easy way out. Here is a way to get back what they have lost. The trouble is they just lose more. “I would never fall for that. I am an intelligent business per-

son!” A scam is going around the state again that looks as if it is from a division of the Secretary of State’s Office. In 2008, 2,000 of these very smart business people fell for it and the sender of the letter is $250,000 richer. With a logo that almost looks right, a list of business owners and a good copier, a letter can look really official. Besides, it will cost a business almost $125 in employee time to call and question the letter. It is easier to send a check. Easier and the man opening the envelope with a check in it, just laughs. SCAMS come to us in the mail, when we answer the phone and in our email inbox. SCAMS — People of all ages are taken. People with college degrees fall for scams. People in North Manchester receive mail, calls and emails. People in North Manchester send money. People in Wabash send money. People just keep sending money. HELP! Help is

Laketon American Legion attends National Security Awareness and Leadership meeting The Laketon American Legion Auxiliary Unit #402 members Linda Torpy, Secretary and Thelma Butler, chaplain attended the D e p a r t m e n t Auxiliary National Security Awareness and Leadership meetings and the Joint American Legion and Auxiliary Spring Conference sessions held at the Indianapolis Marriott East, last weekend. Meetings on Friday include an informative presentation by the Hamilton County Humane Society and Animal Control on their vast program of “Pets Healing Vets”. Their mission is to help rehabilitate veterans suffering from PTSD or TBI by pairing them with a carefully selected shelter dog or cat in need of a home. By pairing qualifying vets with animals in need, they believe they can change, even save, lives. The healing power of pets is undeniable. “Pets Healing Vets” is the only program of its kind supporting vet-

erans in Indiana. It is a private operation/program and supported locally and by driver Tony Stewart. Another one of their services is P.A.W.S (Partnering Animals With Seniors). For more information email petshealingvets@ha miltonhumane.com or contact a Veteran Hospital Campus. A Leadership Workshop followed with a panel of five Past Department Auxiliary Presidents, providing training and information for the leadership and need-to-know knowledge of Auxiliary Unit Officers and Chairman. Items covered included : duties of the president, requirements of meeting minutes, and responsibility of treasurer records for meeting IRS filings. Auxiliary Units are required to have their own EIN number and not operate under the Post number. Past President, Ms. Butler, served on the panel. Saturday meetings included the General Session where seven

County Service Officers were recognized and present a plaque. Four high school students were recognized as recipients of the $1,000 A & G (Americanism/gove r n m e n t ) Scholarship. A representative of the Indiana War Memorial commission spoke on the Memorial Historical District in the heart of downtown Indianapolis and “Friends of the Indiana War Memorials- Bricks of Remembrance” are available and will encircle the Soldiers and Sailors monument, providing the commitment to the men and women, guardians of our freedom. For more information, visit www.Indianawarme morials.org. The Attorney General’s office, representative Sara Fleischer spoke on “ C o n s u m e r Protection Services” and stated, “any Indiana resident can request a security freeze.” She provided handouts on Credit

Protection and included websites and phone numbers for discontinuing credit card offers, major online tracking companies and removing yourself from mailing lists for up to five years. Ms. Butler learned that Mc. Fleischer will be giving a program on Thursday, May 16 at 3 p.m. at Peabody Retirement Center in North Manchester and it will be open to the public. The American Legion and Auxiliary has made an all-out effort in working closely with the Indiana Legislature this year and are pleased with the Indiana co-operation of many in response to bills on behalf of veteran issues. Senate Bill #290 has been passed by both Houses and signed by the Governor. Also, Senate concurrent Resolution #17, naming a portion of I-69 the “Iraq and A f g h a n i s t a n Veterans Highway”, has passed both houses.

Paddle for Peace announced On April 27, the North Manchester Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) will sponsor a canoe trip to raise funds for 3000 Miles for Peace, a national campaign to advance youth peace education, conflict resolution, living peace churches, and nonviolent social change. Canoers will launch at the public access site at Liberty Mills at 1 p.m. for the 5.5 mile trip to the Street Department building in North Manchester. Stations along the way will provide

information about the Eel River Watershed, storytelling, Miami and Potawatomi history, and other topics about peacemaking and the environment. The canoe trip ends with a picnic, bonfire, and sing along. Canoers and supporters are welcome to bring musical instruments. Boats will be provided for people who need them. Call 260-9822083 by April 20 to reserve a canoe. Paddlers or paddling families are encouraged to raise contributions for the

campaign. Tax deductible contributions can be made online at www.razoo.com/story /paddleforpeace. 3000 Miles for Peace is a national campaign of the peacemaking nonprofit On Earth Peace. All over the country, community groups, individuals, and congregations are organizing walks and rides to raise funds for the Paul Ziegler Young Peacemaker Fund, which will support the proven and effective violence-prevention programs of On

Earth Peace. Before his untimely death, Paul Ziegler had a dream to ride his bicycle across the country, gathering funds and fellow travelers for world peace along the way. Since he cannot do this, now we are doing it for him. Share Paul’s journey and dream, come travel with us. To reserve a canoe or for more information contact Julie Garber at juliegarber@frontier.com or 260-982-2083.

Third annual Slugger’s Day announced On June 9, the Summit City Sluggers will be hosting the third annual Slugger’s Day at Homier Park in Huntington. As part of the program’s mission to impact lives both within and outside of baseball, they

are once again partnering with the Vera Bradley Foundation in hopes of promoting awareness to Breast Cancer Research. During this event, large crowds will be entertained by many games throughout the day. In addition to the

games, there will be several raffles and promotional activities as well as special recognition of all breast cancer survivors who attend. All the Slugger players wear a pink jersey and the survivors are recognized.

Last year Sara Cole threw out the first pitch of the 17/18 yr old game. Numerous Wabash county players from all four schools play on a Sluggers team.

Statewide Candlelight Ceremonies will mark need to make children a priority I N D I A NA P O L I S At 7 p.m. throughout Indiana on April 16, communities across the state will gather together simultaneously to hold candlelight ceremonies marking the need to prevent child abuse in Indiana. The ceremonies, representing all 92 Indiana counties, will be held in 83 different locations, possibly making it one of the nation’s largest single-day demonstrations to raise awareness about preventing child abuse. DCS is working with child-advocacy groups across the

state, and local officials in every community, to unite families, neighbors, professionals and policy makers, in the concerted effort to identify and address the issues that lead to abuse or neglect. “This is about unity and solidarity in making children a priority,” said new DCS Director Mary Beth Bonaventura. By the time children come into the DCS system, they’re already victims of abuse or neglect, said Bonaventura, who spent 30 years on the bench as a judge hearing cases of fam-

ily crisis. “We need all eyes and ears in the community reporting child abuse and neglect, but equally as important, we need everyone — from families, to extended families, to communities — working together to prevent child abuse.” Melanie Flory, DCS director in Knox County, says she sees the root-causes everyday of child abuse as she works with families. “Parenting is hard enough,” said Flory. “But when families are also struggling with basic survival needs, like food, shelter and

keeping the lights on, it can create stress and hopelessness that escalates into child abuse.” Children’s Bureau, Inc., understands the realities that can lead to family crises. “Child abuse prevention is a cause that should mobilize our communities to blend our resources, talents and efforts in order to protect vulnerable children,” said Tina Cloer, president and chief executive officer. “There is tremendous work being done to protect our children in the State of Indiana, but there is always opportunity

for each of us to do more.” The Children’s Bureau partners with DCS throughout the year in working to prevent child abuse, and strengthen families. Governor Mike Pence has proclaimed April Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month in Indiana. The governor will kick off the Marion County ceremony on the south steps of the Indiana State House.

Advice offered for landowners looking to sell timber I n d i a n a Conservation Officers and the DNR Division of Forestry are providing useful tips to landowners that can assist in protecting their valuable timber resources. Indiana hardwoods, such as black walnut, red and white oak, and other valuable species are sought by the timber industry. Landowners should follow some simple steps before signing a contract with a tim-

ber buyer. “Some Indiana landowners are taken advantage of every year, and they lose money and resources because they are not aware of the value of timber or the steps needed to protect themselves,” said Duane McCoy, timber licensing forester with the DNR Forestry. To protect forestry resources, landowners should follow these steps:

They should hire a consultant forester to represent you and mark and advertise your timber sale. They should always get several bids from different timber buyers. They should ask questions and get references from the timber buyer. They should mark the trees to be cut with a paint mark on the stem and at ground level. They should know

that will only occur once in a person’s lifetime, and it must be done with knowledge that protects the interest of your investment,” said Lt. Tony Stoll, DNR Law Enforcement District 9 commander. The DNR offers a free information packet titled “callb4ucut” to Indiana citizens considering harvesting their timber. See www.callb4ucut.com for further information.

Legal equipment is limited to shotguns and archery equipment. Use of bait, or any substance or product for animal consumption, is restricted by law. Hunter orange is not required by law but is considered an important safety consideration when going afield or leaving their hunting areas. Hunters are reminded to be sure of their intended target and what is beyond. Because turkey hunting involves calling active male turkeys it is also important to remember not all calls are from wild birds. An

important safety tip would be to avoid wearing red, blue, or white clothing as these colors are commonly part of a male turkeys’ coloration. Turkeys were extirpated from the state of Indiana by the 1900’s. Restoration efforts were launched in 1956. In 2012 all 92

Spring turkey season safety

I n d i a n a Conservation Officers want to remind residents of the upcoming spring turkey season and encourage hunters to take the opportunity to get out and bag their spring bird. The 2013 Youth Turkey Season is April 20 and 21. A youth, means an individual who is less than 18 years of age on the date of the hunt. A youth who hunts a wild turkey must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 18 years of age. An adult accompanying a youth hunter must not possess a firearm, bow and arrow, or crossbow while in the field. Turkey Season is April 24 May 12. Spring turkey season allows one male or bearded turkey to be harvested per l i c e n s e d

counties in Indiana have resident wild turkey populations. Licensed, ethical hunters know the rules and play by them but poachers don’t. Conservation Officers encourage hunters to use the TIP hotline to file a complaint. TIP is an acronym for Turn in a

Poacher or Polluter. Anyone can use the TIP hotline. It’s quick and simple to report a violation. The toll-free TIP phone number is 1800-TIP-IDNR (1-800847-4367). Complaints also can be filed online at tip.IN.gov

United Methodist Church announces changes The United Methodist Church, unlike many other churches, appoints pastors to churches from the Indiana Conference Bishop’s office. Methodist pastors are expected to be “itinerant” meaning

that they are available to be placed wherever the Bishop and his Cabinet feel a pastor is most needed. Three years ago, Reverend Kevin DeKoninck was appointed to the North Manchester

United Methodist Church as an “ I n t e n t i o n a l Transitional Pastor.” With this designation comes the agreement that the appointed pastor will serve a particular church for two to three years and

then move to another church in need of a transitional pastor. Within the last two months, the church’s district superintendent, an assistant to the Bishop, let the local church know that Reverend

to get the place. Bring in Sarah Brown, played buy Gwen Agness, who’s short on sinners at the mission she runs; Sky Masterson, played by Cody Brown, who accepts Nathan’s $1000 bet that he can’t get Sarah Brown to go with him to Havana; Miss Adelaide, played

by Hailey Bone, who wants Nathan to marry her; Police L i e u t e n a n t Brannigan, played by Brandon Caplin, who always seems to appear at the wrong time; and the music/lyrics of Frank Loesser, and you’ve got quite a musical.

Includes the songs: Fugue for Tinhorns, “Luck Be a Lady”, “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat”. Come this Friday or Saturday, April 19 and 20 to see this amazing Musical done by the Northfield Jr. and Sr. High at 7 p.m .both nights!

PEACE WALK UPDATE: Crossing Rivers: Today was a most varied day of walking. I started along PA-51, which had a nice wide shoulder, and then walked on sidewalks through towns, and crossed bridges over the Beaver and Ohio rivers. Then I was back on highway 51, but as it entered the more commercial areas north of Pittsburgh, the shoulder narrowed to nonexistent. There was a guardrail right along the traffic lane, so there was nowhere to walk. I made my way from the highway down to the wide railroad yard between the highway and the river, and found I could walk on gravel service roads there for the next few miles. Then I found my way blocked by a large US Gypsum plant, so I worked my way over toward the river and found a road that passed between the plant and the river. Eventually, that connected to a street, which entered the town of Aliquippa, where I am staying tonight in the guesthouse of the Community of Celebration. Look them up at http://www.commu-

First place prize awarded for bracket contest

Winchester Senior Center’s NCAA Bracket Contest concluded on Monday night with Louisville’s win, and it was that win that sent Charlie Ulshafer into first place and made him the grand prizewinner of the competition. “I was shocked,” said Ulshafer when he found out he was a possible winner before the championship game. “I saw the post on Facebook

and I thought it must be a joke.” Ulshafer narrowly captured the win with 140 points over Sheri Draper who finished with 139 points out of a field of nearly 60 participants. The contest began March 18 and was open to all Wabash County residents 50 years of age or older. The prize, an iPad Mini, was awarded on Tuesday by Aaron Vogel, director of marketing and admis-

sion, Autumn Ridge Rehabilitation Centre who sponsored the event. “On behalf of the Center, we are happy to support the Senior Center and their great programs. I have witnessed the many lives touched by their various community outreach initiatives for the county’s seniors,” said Vogel. “For a first year event, I felt the Bracket Contest was very well received. It was a creative way to

engage the community and a great opportunity to educate the public about the services Autumn Ridge and the Senior Center provide. We look forward to supporting the Senior Center in the future.” C H A R L I E ULSHAFER IS PRESENTED with an iPad Mini by Autumn Ridge’s representative Aaron Vogel. (Photo provided)

Bryce Kendall collected a hit on a slow roller, tough play at third that was thrown away allowing Kendall to go to second. Pinch runner Christian Hawkins then scored on an RBI ground out by Adam Roser to the first baseman and the Norse led 1-0 after three. The Norse later scored in the 5th when Dallas Hovey

had a bunt single and went to second on a wild pitch. He scored when Bryce Kendall’s bunt was thrown down the right field line. The Norse garnered just five hits, two by Collin Dawes and one each from Bryce Kendall, Shane Vigar and Dallas Hovey. Andy Roser was hit by a pitch twice and drew a walk.

Apaches play long ball… again

by Gary Andrews The Wabash Apaches baseball team moved to 4-0 on the season with a 1410 win at Bluffton, April 9. After jumping out to a 5-0 lead, thanks in part to a Shea Beauchamp home run in the third, Wabash gave up 6 in the bottom of the third to fall

behind 6-5. Home runs by Landon Cole in the fourth, Shea Beauchamp in the fifth, and Grant Sailors in the seventh helped the Apaches regain the lead and hold on for the win. Roger Davis picked up the win going the final four and two thirds innings while

striking out eight. “Another great team effort. Roger came in and did a good job on the mound and the offense was solid top to bottom. Shea had another great day at the plate and everyone else seems to just be following his lead,” said Coach Stone of his players.

Baker remains unbeaten

by Gary Andrews Manchester’s Scott Baker, a sophomore pitcher for the Ball State baseball team, improved to 8-0 on the season with a 6-1 victory over the Central Michigan Chippewas April 13 at Ball Diamond. With the win, the Cardinals improved

to 15-16 overall and 5-6 in Mid-American Conference play, while CMU fell to 1419 overall and 4-7 in league play. Baker pitched a complete game, allowing only one earned run on six hits and striking out 10 batters in the contest. With the win, he improved

to 8-0 on the season after entering the week ranked third in the nation with seven pitching victories. Baker limited the Chippewas to one extra base hit on the day, which was a homerun by Neal Jacobs in the seventh inning.

Norse take Two from Marion

by Gary Andrews On Saturday, the Norse traveled to Marion, taking a twin bill from the Giants. Game one was a pitching dual for six innings as Joseph Ross picked up his second win of the year in a 6-1 win. Game two was an e i g h t - i n n i n g marathon as the Norse pulled off a 1615 win. The Norse struck in the first inning of game one. Collin Dawes singled and was advanced to third on an Andy Roser double. Ryan Keaffaber then singled home Dawes with Roser being thrown out at the plate trying to plate a second run. Marion would tie the game up in the third on a double and a single and the two teams went to the fifth tied at one. In the top of the fifth Adam Roser got things started with a single and was eventually brought home on a Dawes single to give the Norse a 2-1

lead. With the Norse offense struggling some, Ross remained strong on the mound. In the bottom of the sixth and one out Ross walked the second batter and coach Tony Uggen elected to bring in Andy Roser. Roser forced a pop up and got a strike out to get out of the inning. With the Norse needing an insurance run in the seventh, they got that and more. Bryce Kendall started the inning with a single and was followed by back-toback bunt singles by Adam Roser and Dawes. Andy Roser then gave the Norse the breathing room with a grand slam over the center field fence to open the gap to 6-1. Roser struck out the side in the bottom of the inning and the Norse won game one 6-1. Game two had runs scored in every inning and plenty of them. The Norse scored two in the top of the first when

Adam Roser reached on an error and was followed by freshman Drake Richter taking one deep to left to give Northfield a 2-0 lead. The Giants got one of the runs back in the bottom of the inning on a Norse error and a single. In the top of the second and one out, Austin Curless and freshman starting pitcher Remington Monce drew walks. Adam Roser bunted for a single to load the bases and a wild pitch brought home the next run, 3-1. With two outs Andy Roser doubled home two more to make it 5-1, then Ryan Keaffaber singled home Roser to make it 6-1. The Giants got to Monce in the second and loaded the bases. Andy Roser came in to relieve, forcing a ground ball out that scored a run, 6-2. The next hitter doubled home two more and it was 6-4 after two. The Norse would pick up one more in the sixth and the

game went to the fifth 7-4. Joseph Ross singled in the fifth and was brought home by a Shane Vigar single to lead 8-4 when the Marion offense went wild in the bottom of the inning. Six Marion hits and two Northfield errors related to six Giant runs to put Marion up 10-8 after five. Trailing by three, Bryce Kendall started the inning reaching on an error. Adam Roser then blasted a two run shot to tie the game at 10. Richter and Andy Roser drew walks and after a Keaffaber sac fly, Richter scored on a passed ball to put the Norse up 11-10. Again the Giants would beat up on Norse pitching in the bottom of the inning, collecting five runs on five hits to take a 15-11 lead heading to the 7th. Kendall led off the 7th being hit by a pitch. After an Adam Roser fly out, Richter and Andy Roser drew (continued on page 22)

Knights lose two to Peru by Gary Andrews The Southwood varsity baseball took the cold ride to Peru Saturday to battle the Tigers in a double header. With pitching dominating game one and offense in game two, Peru took two from the Knights 5-1 and 14-13. Jackson Blair was on the mound in game one, giving up just two hits and two earned runs in five innings while striking out seven, but the Knight offense just could not get to the Peru pitching. Robbie Cole went one for three with a double and a walk. Jackson Blair was zero

for one, drawing three walks. Nathan Hollars had one RBI. “Jackson gave us a solid start, we played solid defense and had runners on all game. We just couldn’t push runs across. Prinerano from Peru was dominant on the mound,” said Coach Holtzleiter. In game two the Knights had no problem plating runs, but neither did Peru. Southwood scored in every inning except the fifth in the 14-13 loss. The Knights used a foursome of pitching. Matt Porter, Kyle Weaver, Colin Gouveia and Nathan Hollars all saw action. Knight

pitching being the downfall earned ten of the fourteen Peru runs, with ten walks. Jackson Blair went one for four with one double, one triple and a walk. Robbie Cole was three for five with two doubles and scored twice. Luke Elliott was one for four, driving in three. Jacob Lloyd scored twice and had two RBIs. “We played well offensively. We just walked to many batters. This is a game we have to learn to win if we are going to develop into a championship level team,” added Coach Holtzleiter.

Manchester hires girls basketball coach by Gary Andrews In a unanimous vote, the Manchester Community School Board approved the recommendation to hire Brooke Airgood as the varsity girls’ basketball coach for next year. Ms. Airgood will be a physical education and health teacher at Manchester JuniorSenior High School, replacing her retiring mentor, Ms. Bobbi Lautzenheiser. After moving to Arizona from North Manchester during high school, Ms. Airgood was a three-

sport athlete and NJCAA All-American in track and field at S c o t t s d a l e Community College and a scholar athlete at New Mexico State University earning All Conference honors in the javelin. For the past 12 years, she has been teaching and coaching in California serving as a physical education teacher and basketball coach. She has experience coaching at all levels, both boys and girls, and has coached volleyball and track and

field as well as basketball. In 2004, she was elected to coach the All-Star game for Division 1, Southern Section California. “We are excited to welcome Brooke Airgood back to Manchester as a teacher and coach,” according to Nancy Alspaugh, MJSHS Principal. “She has outstanding qualifications to take over our girls’ basketball program and is thrilled to have an opportunity to coach and teach in her Indiana hometown.”

Children who found eggs with numbers or the special golden egg received a special prize. Prizes were also given this year for the child who found the most eggs in each age category. Russell Krom reported that the cement boulders have been placed along each side of the tractor-pulling track. This is a safety precaution suggested due to the pulls with the “super” tractors. It looks very nice and professional. Russell also reported that several loads of dirt will be added to the track and this too will be a big improvement to the pulling track. Thanks to all the men who have donated their time, trucks and equipment to make these improvements possible. The Lions Club will be putting a Lions Club decal on all the blue trash barrels that are used during the festival. Don Everest is checking on prices for this project.

Living on the edge, the Norse found some trouble in the bottom of the inning. With two outs and a runner on second Roser intentionally walked the hitter to set up a force. On the next pitch the runner on second broke to soon with Roser stepping off and getting the runner in a rundown. The Norse botched the rundown with the winning run making it to third. Roser calmly struck out the next hitter to force an 8th inning. In the top of the 8th, Nate Hembree singled to start the inning. Dallas Hovey moved Hembree to second with a bunt, then Kendall hit a sac fly moving Hembree to third. Adam Roser then singled home Hembree to give the Norse a 16-15 lead heading to the bottom. After a strike out and a walk, Joseph Ross made an outstanding catch over the dugout fence for the second out. Roser then forced a grounder for the third out and the Norse escaped 16-15.

Bass fishing not hurt by walleye stockings

Largemouth bass anglers who are concerned that walleyes stocked into northeast Indiana lakes could be damaging bass fishing need not worry. Data obtained by DNR biologists from bass tournaments at four lakes where walleyes are routinely stocked indicate there is little evidence to suggest bass fishing has been harmed. At Crooked Lake and Lake George in Steuben County, two

of the area’s best walleye lakes, numbers of 14-inch and larger bass caught by tournament anglers increased over the past ten years. Catch rates of bass anglers at Sylvan Lake in Noble County, where walleyes are abundant, have been stable since 2006. Bass catches declined at Winona Lake in Kosciusko County after walleye stockings were increased, but catch rates remain above

average compared to other area lakes. “We occasionally get questions from bass fishermen about our walleye stocking program,” said Neil Ledet, DNR fisheries biologist in northeast Indiana. “Some fishermen think walleyes compete with bass for habitat or food and prey on small bass.” Studies in Wisconsin and Ontario have shown the opposite. Bass are more likely to eat walleyes.

Although walleyes and bass may occupy the same areas in a lake, plenty of food is usually available for both. “We intentionally stock walleyes in lakes that have a lot of small forage fish,” Ledet said. “We think their chances of survival are greater and their growth rate is faster there.” Stocked walleyes feed mostly on small bluegills, yellow perch and gizzard shad where present.

from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., before and after all Merillat Centre for the Arts performanc-

“We looked at the stomach contents of 90 adult walleyes in Wall Lake in Steuben County and didn’t find a single bass,” Ledet said. The DNR plans to conduct additional bass tournament monitoring this year at Winona and will conduct full-scale studies of the walleye-stocking program at Crooked, Sylvan, and Winona in the coming years.
