After eight years, the search for an Arizona man with a criminal history is over. Michael M. Alcontar was arrested on Aug. 1 in conjunction with an Arizona warrant for his arrest. When Alcontar was questioned by Sgt. Nick Brubaker of the Wabash City Police Department and Deputy Ben Duecker, the subject claimed to be Leonard Alcontar. “Deputy Duecker was assisting the Wabash Police (continued on page 6)

Twelve years and over $100,000 later the Kunkle Cruise-In uses people’s love of cars to raise money for the Muscular D y s t r o p hy Association in Dave Kunkle’s honor. Bill Rettig has been a part of the event since its inception shortly after Kunkle passed away in early 2000. Rettig h a s

done it all when it comes to volunteering for the event. He has parked cars, ran water, judged and sat on the board for the non-for-profit. Last year Rettig counted 50 pre-registered cars and nearly 400 cars that were in the event. This year the expectations h a v e grown, as o f last

87 pre-registered cars and the stakes are a bit higher for the event that will be held August 19th and 20th. “We have been able to give about $10,000 each year to the MDA,” Rettig said. “This year we are hoping to have 100 cars pre-registered and raise $15,000, but that’s just hopin’.” Each year the cruisein has grown

“We have had contestants from Ohio to Canada to Oklahoma and Kentucky,” Rettig said. “We have a lot of volunteers that go to a lot of shows and they hand out fliers. The news really has got out because we are growing.” When asked what they would do if t h e y

out of space in their allotted area downtown at the Honeywell Center Rettig said, “we will just move one block over and put cars their too. We have plenty of room down-

town.” The event offers a wide range of variety and selection. Anyone who has an interest in cars will find something they like at the cruise-in. From old to new it will all be downtown, some will even be inside the Honeywell Center. “Some people come just to look at the 57’ Chevy’s and others will come to look at Mustangs and they can do that here,” Rettig said. “There is such a variety that anyone can see just about anything.” Everyone who works the event volunteers their time for the weekend. It is because of the people that Rettig has volunteered for so long. “The people and the cars we all get along real well,” Rettig said. “They are a great bunch of people to work with.”

With a large list of local sponsors for this year’s event the community is deeply involved with the success of the cruise-in. This year Dave Dorais, owner of Dorais Chevrolet Inc. decided that after being involved with the event for many years as a volunteer he would become a sponsor. “This is our first year as a sponsor and we have sponsored all of Saturday night’s awards,” Dorais said. “I have spent several years with the Rotary Club, which Kunkle was a part of and we have volunteered at the pizza wagon. Its always a good time. And we want to get more involved.” In addition to his donation for the awards, he will have some of his own cars in the show. Dorais owns a 1969 Camaro (continued on page 6)

continue making a positive impact within the community.” Cinergy MetroNet is a customerfocused company that delivers enhanced communications services over their all-fiber optic network - the only 100 percent fiber optic network in Wabash.

Science Education Academies focus on science topics discussed in grades five through twelve, including emerging energy technologies, biodiversity and how human activity is altering the systems of our planet. Ashlee Giordano traveled to the Energy: Past, Present and Future workshop June 26 through July 1. Giordano, who will begin her fifth year of teaching at Northfield in the fall, was particularly by impressed research focused on the need for new energy sources. “We visited labs where they’re working on energy solutions like improving LED light quality and how to lower energy costs,” she said. She also toured a power plant. “Students will learn that there is a lot of sophisticated technology and science that goes into lighting a room.” Northfield chemistry and physics teacher Roger Votaw traveled to the Smithsonian Science

Education Academies for Teachers Earth’s History and Global Challenge program July 24-29. An educator for 12 years, Votaw said that the program provided valuable “real-world” examples of how chemicals play an important role in major issues of the day, such as global warming and the development of alternative fuel sources. “The program ties into discussions and projects we conduct in the classroom, such as carbon dating and nuclear reactions. We examine these issues to better understand our planet’s history and how the decisions we make today impact the planet,” said Votaw. He noted that members of the school board said they want students to learn more about science

and math to prepare for future workforce demand. “Never in 12 years of teaching have I had such an incredible opportunity to experience some of the nation’s best science education resources,” said Votaw. Both Giordano and Votaw were encouraged to apply for the Academy experience by Troy Baer, a Brodbeck Seeds district sales manager and school board member of the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County. “Supporting community-based education is an integral part of Brodbeck Seeds’ social responsibility,” said Baer. “Our affiliation with AgroSciences Dow and its ownership by The Dow Chemical Company links

JP’s Computer Consulting offers hassle-free options for computer services

JUSTIN POE, JP’s Computer Consulting, holds an associate’s degree in network engineering. He has been servicing computers in the Wabash area for more than two years. (photo by Danielle Smith) by Danielle Smith dsmith@thepaperofwabash.com

For more than two years, Justin Poe of JP’s Computer Consulting has been offering computer services in Wabash with the intent of providing fast and convenient solutions for all of his customers’ computer needs. “I’ve been working on computers since I was 13 years old, so well over 15 years,” Poe said. He now holds an associate’s degree in network engineering and is

A+ certified. Poe is able to assist with a wide range of computer issues including troubleshooting, security of personal files, network administration, anti-virus protection and computer sales. “If you can think of something you want your computer to do and can’t figure it out, I’m the person to call,” Poe said. All of Poe’s work is done in the customer’s home, which eliminates the hassle of transporting your system to an office.

“To have someone else work on it, you would have to spend a half-hour unplugging it and taking it to them. They are going to have it for at least a day and possibly two or three days, depending on their workload. With me you can call me, set up a time that I can come over and it’s fixed,” Poe said. To provide even more convenience for his customers, Poe is willing to service computers at any time of the day or night.

“Call my cell phone, I don’t care if it’s 2 o’clock in the morning, I’ll get up and come to your house and fix your computer,” Poe said. Poe even offers options for remote repair of computers where he can log onto a customer’s computer from his home computer and fix problems without ever stepping foot in the customer’s home. Currently, in order for this to be an option the customer must have a program installed on their computer, but Poe is working toward expanding this service. “I’m looking into making it so that I can send a link to the customer and they can install the program that will give me access, but that service is more expensive,” Poe said. In addition to computer repairs, Poe also offers computer sales. Customers can receive a computer from Poe within two to three days, and he will deliver the system to their home and set it up for them. In addition to a reputation for convenience, Poe strives to create a reputation for customer satisfaction with JP’s Computer Consulting. “If you’re not pleased with it, I’ll

make it right,” he said. “I have about 20 clients right now and they are very faithful to me. Whenever they have problems they call me.” Poe can work on any type of operating system, and he is also capable of setting up home or business networks. He considers himself to be the most reasonably priced option for computer services in our area. “If I’m running an anti-virus scan that takes forever, I don’t charge you while that’s running. You are only charged for the time I am sitting there working on the he computer,” explained. Poe, a father of three, is originally

Reggie turns tables on Tickle Me Elmo III, wins State Fair’s “World’s Largest Male Hog”

A rivalry is born. For the second consecutive year, the title of Indiana State Fair “World’s Largest Male Hog” came down to Tickle Me Elmo III and Reggie. Last year, Tickle Me Elmo III went home the win-

ner. This year, trophy belongs to Reggie. The four-year-old Red Wattle, owned by the Stockdale family of Chelsea, tipped the scales at 1,305 pounds to edge out his rival by 18 pounds. Rick Stockdale

credited his three boys for the victory as they care for the hog with their grandfather on his Austin farm. J o n a t h a n Stockdale, 10, was particularly proud of the victory. “Everybody at school will be asking me a bunch of ques“I tions,” he said. wasn’t sure he was going to win.” “The boys take a lot of pride in Reggie,” Rick Stockdale said. “It was great to see the smiles on their faces.” The boys’ grandfather, James Stockdale, said they don’t feed Reggie anything special, just slop and produce. “He’s just naturally big,” he said. Reggie will spend the rest of the State Fair in a labeled pen near the entrance at the west end of the Swine Barn.

to livestock due to extreme heat conditions over the last few weeks. “The hot, humid conditions that are widespread across Indiana may be beneficial for the development of crops; however, those conditions may have been adverse to Hoosier livestock and poultry producers,” said Wickard. “We need producers to document the number and kind of livestock that have died as a direct result of these recent heat conditions and timely notify their local FSA office of these losses.” To be eligible for the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), the livestock must be owned or grown under contract by the producer and raised for commercial use as part of the farming operation. Pets or recreational animals do not qualify. Payment for losses is determined by USDA calculations, but is

approximately 75 percent of the average fair market value of the animal. FSA administers several programs that help producers recover from livestock deaths that are beyond normal mortality rates, losses of purchased and/or harvested forage and with the additional costs of providing or transporting feed. Among the key programs are LIP and E m e r g e n c y Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP). To be eligible for assistance for livestock death loss or feed losses, producers must file a notice of loss and an application for payment with their local FSA office within 30 calendar days from when the loss is apparent to the producer. Fact sheets for these two programs can be found at

w w w. f s a . u s d a . g ov ; click on “Newsroom”, then “Fact Sheets”. Wickard also encourages producers to use Hay Net on the FSA website (www.fsa.usda.gov/ha ynet), an online service that allows producers with hay and those who need hay to post ads so they can make connections. Hay Net is a popular site for farmers who have an emergency need, such as the one caused by the recent spring storms. Individual ads can be posted free of charge by producers who complete a simple online registration form the first time they use the site. “We encourage all who have suffered losses due to adverse weather to read the fact sheets and visit with their local FSA county office staff so they can get a quick start in the recovery process,” added Wickard.

Vanlandingham knew that the building had been an issue for the city previously and that it needed to be fixed. “We have been looking at this building for a long time,” Vanlandingham said. “When the business that was in the building left no one kept up with the building.” As a part of historical downtown Wabash the building is of great importance to the city and the mayor. Demolition of the building was not an option that Vanlandingham took to the table. “This is a building that we want to look g r e a t , ” Vanlandingham said. “It is one of the first buildings you see when you come through downtown and it deserves to be in good shape.” On Oct. 1 as long as Hipskind does not redeem the property the Wabash Marketplace and Executive Director Stephen Allen will assume ownership of the property. Instead of waiting until they owned the

building to go through and see what needs fixed, Allen and Wabash the Marketplace got started early on the renovation process. “Right now we are not sure how much work will need to be done or what exactly needs to be done,” Allen said. “We are creating scopes of work and trying to see if it is feasible for us to renovate the building. “ They have sent off for quotes on the project, but do not expect the quotes to come back until October. They have had a structural engineer look at the building as well as other contractors. “We are not sure what extent we can or will renovate the building,” said Allen. “There is a lot work that

The funds are then dispersed by the board of trustees, who meet on a regular basis to review the grant applications submitted by nonprofit organizations or community service organizations for projects that will benefit the community as a whole. Local nonprofit or community service organizations who are interested in pursuing a grant must complete a grant application form and submit it to the trustees of Wabash County REMC Trust for review. The next deadline for grant submissions is Oct. 4. Organizations may contact the REMC

Operation Round Up approves two grants for local use

On July 19, the board of trustees for Operation Round Up, a community service program of Wabash County REMC, approved two grants. A grant to Little Friends Day Care and Preschool was approved for educating infants and toddlers. The $1,200 grant will be used to purchase educational material. A grant was also approved for the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce for leadership development in Wabash County. The $500 grant will be used to purchase educational materials. These grants are made possible by the generosity of Wabash County REMC members. Members who elect to participate in Operation Round Up have their monthly electric bill round-

continued from front page Department on a protective order when the subject had given the no identification,” said Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land. “Duecker thought it was odd that the subject had no identification. After they let Alcontar go they did some digging. “ With the help of

Wabash Central Dispatch Dispatcher Robin Adams, Duecker located warrants and photographs of two brothers, Michael and Leonard Alcontar. The warrants for the two subjects were from Pinal County, Ariz. “The warrant was for possession of

dangerous drugs,” said Land. “The warrants were still active and with information about certain tattoos and physical descriptions deputy they were able to positively identify Leonard Alcontar as Michael Alcontar.” The whereabouts of Leonard Alcontar are unknown at this time. Alcontar has waived his rights for extradition. By doing so, he has saved taxpayers a lot of time and money on extradition hearings. “It is unknown how long Alcontar has been in Wabash, but we haven’t really had any issues with him since he has been here,” said Land. “He was found at a house on Copper Road, where officers found out that Michael used his brothers name because he knew that Arizona would not extradite on his brothers pending charges.” Alcontar was booked into the Wabash County Jail on Aug. 2 and was

later released into the custody of Arizona officers on Aug. 5 without incident. “Since he has been in our building I have not heard anything about him,” said Land. “He has been good, but he has not been talking. We have not interviewed him or interrogated him, we were waiting on the Arizona officers to do so.” This is not the first time that the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department has caught a fugitive with out of state warrants in Wabash. “We get them all the time, “ said Land. “We get them on traffic stops and tips and other ways as well, so this is nothing new for us.” Land had nothing but praise for both Deputy Duecker and Dispatcher Adams. “I want to commend both Deputy Duecker and Dispatcher Adams on this investigation. They both had the initiative to go that one extra step in finding this fugitive,” he said.

To begin the Aug. 8 of the meeting Wabash County Commissioners, County Highway Superintendent John Martin reported that 12 miles of chip and seal were completed last week. He also informed the Commissioners that preliminary engineering for Bridge 61 is completed. It will go to letting in November or December, and it is scheduled for construction in March 2012. He expects the project to be completed in May or June of 2012. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land reported that there are 68 inmates incarcerated in Wabash County Jail, six are being held in Miami County Jail. Land informed the Commissioners that he will begin acquiring quotes for upgrad-

ing the fire alarms and smoke, carbon dioxide and natural gas detectors at the jail. Thomas Polk, I n t r a s e c t Technologies, delivered a comparison of quotes for Dell and HP computer equipment to be purchased for County offices. The Dell equipment was less expensive, but did not meet the set specifications. The Commissioners elected to go with the HP products, due to the fact that they have better service options. Polk is awaiting feedback from the various departments as to what specific equipment they need. Polk’s presentation was followed by Gary Henderson, Cinergy MetroNet, who reported that by switching the current phone systems of the Courthouse, Judicial Center and jail to MetroNet, Cinergy

Wabash County would save $600 per month. He reported that additional savings could result if the County would elect to place the separate buildings on a single PRI. The jail currently has 18 phone lines, the courts have 17, the prosecutor’s office has six and the probation department has five. Henderson feels that it is necessary to inventory the usage of the lines to determine if any lines can be removed. Each line costs $40 per month. Beverly Ferry, chief executive officer of Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc., presented an operating grant for Wabash County Transit to the Commissioners. This grant will be used to fund out-of-county medical transports and extended driving hours until 8 p.m.

Chester Township Board funds local cemetery restoration

by Shaun Tilghman North Manchester News-Jounal The Chester Township Board recently funded the $9,955 restoration of Krisher Cemetery, located south of North Manchester at the intersection of CR 175 E and CR 1100 N, which is one of the oldest cemeteries in the township. According to Chester Township Trustee Flo Dahlstrom, all five of the township’s cemeteries have been affected by repeated vandalism and the Board began discussing what to do around the first of the year. Krisher is probably the smallest of the local cemeteries – with 24 headstones, nine small monuments, six large monuments, and one plot wall – but it had the most visible damage and was most recently affected by vandalism. Once the Board decided to restore the cemetery, Dahlstrom went online to com-

pare different businesses for the task; she eventually selected Helen Wildermuth and Stonehugger Cemetery Restoration Inc., of Nashville, Ind. began the They restoration on July 21 and finished working in the cemetery just one week later. “The first thing we did was we took photographs and documented the headstones and markers,” e x p l a i n e d Wildermuth. “We first came out in May and by the time we came back in July to work there had been more vandalism at the cemetery, which made our job even more difficult. ”The use of concrete was prevalent in this cemetery, which contributed to the bad conditions and added to the difficulty of the restoration. Some of the tablets were in as many as 12 pieces so the repairs were a long process before the leveling and resetting could even be done. In the end the

entire cemetery was restored – our crew repaired the stones, cleaned them, and reset them.” According to the company website (stonehugger.com), most of the work done by Stonehugger is in pioneer cemeteries, which are over 100 years old and are the legacy of families residing in the community today. “[Krisher] is considered a pioneer cemetery because most of the people buried there were the original landowners from that part of the t o w n s h i p , ” Wildermuth added. As of the end of 2010, Stonehugger had completely restored more than 16,500 gravestones, markers, and monuments. On the website, Wildermuth says, “My goal when I step into a pioneer cemetery is not only to restore the gravestones as close to the condition they were in when they were first set at the head of

the grave, but to create thorough documentation for ongoing perpetual care.” “Cemeteries are an important element of our history and represent a thread through time that connects our pioneer past with the present,” she continues. “If we stop caring for this link to our heritage, the history of a community may be lost forever.” Dahlstrom adds, “This project is a vital part of maintaining these local historical sites. It seemed like the right choice and now that the job is completed I am very pleased. Now we’re looking into the possibility of having the same type of work done at the remaining cemeteries – especially [Daniels] – as soon as next spring.” Daniels, a pre-Civil War cemetery, is the oldest in the township and is located at the intersection of CR 700 N and CR 500 E. The other three local cemeteries include: Greenwood, located

Simons shares passage regarding Congress pay Dear editor, I received the following passage, and thought it made as much sense as some of the things our Congress people seem to be muddling through: “This is how you fix Congress: 1. No tenure = no pension, a Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when out of office. 2. Congress (past, present and future) participates in Social Security. All funds in

Congressional retirement funds are moved to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system and Congress participates with the American people. 3. Congress will purchase their own retirement plan, as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower CPI or three percent. 5. Congress loses their current health-

care system and participates in the same healthcare system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void, effective Jan. 1, 2012. The American people did not make these contracts with our Congressmen, they made all these contracts for themselves. Serving Congress is an honor – not a career. The founding fathers envi-

sioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their terms, then go home and go back to work.” I think this should be applied to all political parties, who seem to be fussing amongst themselves (because they are Democrat or Republican) instead of the fact they were sent to Washington to serve what’s best for their constituents. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they had our best interests at heart? Mrs. Lois Simons Wabash

on CR 1425 west of SR 13; Concord, located southeast of the intersection of CR 1100 N and CR 700 E; and Swank, located on SR 13 south of Car Recyclers. While the money needed for this project was already in the Township’s funds, Dahlstrom said they might look into some other funding options down the line. “There has been a big movement recently to identify veterans in the pre-Civil War cemeteries with markers and flags, which can cost up to $50 per veteran,” she continued. “With the increased emphasis from the State to restore these cemeteries, hopefully more resources will become available as well.” The Board has also

discussed putting up fences around the cemeteries to prevent future damage, and during the meeting on Aug. 10 they will specifically address the possibility of fencing in the recently restored cemetery. Dahlstrom conclud-

ed by saying that in the next few months Stonehugger will be providing a book containing before and after pictures from Krisher, and anyone interested in viewing it should contact the Township Office.

2011 Quit Now Indiana Contest offers smokers incentives to quit

State health officials in partnership with MDwise Hoosier Alliance and ADVANTAGE Health Solutions launched the 2011 Quit Now Indiana Contest. The statewide contest is designed to encourage Hoosiers using tobacco products to make an attempt to quit now by offering them a chance to win cash prizes up to $2,500 for remaining tobacco-free for 31 days. The promotional contest is part of a larger statewide campaign known as Quit Now Indiana, linking tobacco users to cessation resources. To be eligible to win, contestants must be 18 years or older, a legal resident of Indiana, a current tobacco user and stay tobacco free from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31. The registra-

tion period is now until Sept. 30, all entries must be received by midnight on Sept. 30. Contest will be winners drawn at random and will be tested to make sure they are tobaccofree to be eligible to claim a prize. “Quitting smoking is one of the best ways to improve your health,” said Indiana State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin, M.D. “We know there are a large number of Hoosiers who are ready to quit smoking and the Quit Now Indiana Contest is the perfect opportunity for many of them to make a serious quit attempt.” Last year’s contest received over 3,500 entries representing every county in Indiana. After remaining smoke-free

for 31 days, Steve Williams of Indianapolis was the $2,500 grand prize winner. The second place winner, Craig Watson of Elkhart, received $1,500, and $1,000 went to third place winner Nikki Wall of Fort Wayne. “The 2010 Quit Now Indiana Contest was a great success and it is exciting to report that all three of our winners are still tobaccofree at this time. Indiana is committed to helping anyone who is ready to quit. Tobacco use is an addiction, not a habit. People are generally more successful if they seek help in quitting. The contest is a great way to prepare, set a quit date, and break free from tobacco use,” said Karla Sneegas, assistant commissioner of tobacco prevention

and cessation at the State Health Department. For the second year in a row, Indiana’s adult smoking rate has declined. The Indiana adult smoking rate has dropped to an all-time low of 21.2 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Research indicates that 80 percent of Hoosier adults who smoke have the desire to quit. The 2011 Quit Now Indiana Contest is the perfect time for more Hoosiers to set a quit date. In addition to helping individual smokers quit, the State Health Department helps employers foster healthier environments through smoke-free workplaces. The Quit Now Preferred Employer Network currently

consists of more than 400 employers in Indiana committed to helping their employees quit tobacco use. Last year with the participation of the Preferred Network employers, the campaign reached more than 40,000 employees and students with this great incentive to quit tobacco. Eligible Hoosiers can register online at INShapeIndiana.org a n d QuitNowIndiana.com , register at participating employers or at various Quit Now Indiana sign-up boxes located at dozens of community events, including county fairs and festivals and major events such as the Indiana State Fair and the 1-800-QUITNOW Concert Series at the Lawn at White River State Park in Indianapolis, and at

the local tobacco free coalition office, 41 W. Canal St., Wabash. The entry deadline is Sept. 30. Employers interested in participating in the Preferred Employer Network can request contest materials at QuitNowIndiana.com

During the past five years, Hanna Lodge has provided this service for more than 1,900 children. Each child is fingerprinted, their height and weight is recorded and a video is taken. The parents are also shown how to take a DNA sample. This complete packet is given to the parents. When they ask what to do with this, they are told to take it home, put it in a safe place and hope they will never need it.

260-569-2290 " 800-346-2110 & "

A frustrating spring for many Indiana corn and soybean farmers who had to wait out a month of rain before they could plant has given way to a challenging summer for the crops themselves as they endure record heat and a prolonged dry spell. How the weather could affect yields and commodity market prices will be the topic of discussion as three agricultural

experts analyze a key U.S. Department of Agriculture crop production report Aug. 11 at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis. The report will be reviewed at 9:30 a.m. in Pioneer Hi-Bred Our Land Pavilion. Speakers are: Joe Kelsay, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture; Chris Hurt, a Purdue University agricultural economist; and Greg Preston, Indiana

director of the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Jim Mintert, assistant director of Purdue Extension, will moderate. The August report is the first forecast of yields and production for the year based on conditions as of Aug. 1. Actual yields and production can be different, however, depending on conditions that develop before harvest in the fall. In August 2010, the USDA projected a record corn crop in Indiana for the second consecutive year, with production expected to surpass 1 billion bushels for the first time. But drought that hit late in the summer and extended into harvest lowered production to 898 million bushels, even below 2009 production of 933 million bushels. “A lot can, and usually does, change from month to month due to weather conditions,” Preston said. Corn and soybean supplies already are very short, and further damage to 2011 yield potential could cause even greater shortages and much

higher prices, Hurt said. “The ultimate size of these crops will be very important to income levels of farm families and more broadly to the prices consumers will pay for food,” he said. The presentation is free with state fair admission and open to the public. Our Land Pavilion is near the fourth turn of the horse track on the west end of the fairgrounds.

Purdue University Ag economist know why commodity prices are rising Growing demand for corn to use in biofuels and for soybeans to help feed a booming Chinese economy are among key forces driving commodity prices higher this year, according to a report by three Purdue agricultural economists. A weak U.S. dollar, high oil prices, declining grain supplies and poor harvests in 2010 also contributed, they wrote in the report, which predicts that high prices will continue beyond the 2011 crop year. The economists – Phil Abbott, Chris Hurt and Wally Tyner – detailed their findings in “What’s Driving Food Prices in 2011,” commissioned by Farm Foundation, NFP, and released July 19. Costs of commodities influence retail food prices as do general inflationary pressures such as transportation, packaging and food processing. The report follows their analyses for Farm Foundation, NFP, in 2008 and 2009, when retail food prices also peaked. For commodities prices in 2011, it comes down to world food and fuel demands exceeding supply in recent years. “In the United States, we’ve typically had more grain and soybeans than we could use here,” said Hurt, who specializes in grain and livestock markets. “Now we have to ask ourselves, can the U.S. and the other major suppliers meet all these world demands?” Corn use for ethanol represented 27 percent of the 2010-11 crop

usage, compared with 10 percent of the 2005-06 crop. The growing demand for corn to ethanol and make China’s increasing desire for soybeans have been two big “demand shocks” for agriculture, the report states. “When you put them on top of each other, the price impacts are a lot bigger than either one separately,” Hurt said. The amount of U.S. farmland needed to meet those two surging demands has increased from 16.1 million acres in 2005 to 45.6 million acres in 2010, an increase of 189 percent, according to the report. U.S. agriculture met these demands in two ways, the economists said: First, U.S. farmers shifted land into producing corn and soybeans and out of other crops such as cotton, wheat and sorghum. As a result, prices for most other crops also rose. Second, U.S. stocks were used to the point where there is a minimum inventory of grains today to meet any production shortage. As a result, any weather threats to normal yields in 2011 will mean higher prices. China’s rapid economic growth is resulting in more demand as their consumers both buy more food and shift their food mix toward more animal products such as meat, milk and eggs, which require corn and soybeans to produce, said Abbott, whose work focuses on international trade and

agricultural development. However, we also found that about 40 percent of the increase in Chinese soybean imports in recent years was due to increasing their inventories building stocks,” Abbott said. “We believe they now have sufficient stocks levels, and that could slow their overall rate of growth of purchases in coming years.” That economic growth contributes to China’s demand for soybeans, crude oil and other commodities, Abbott said. “The movement of agriculture into biofuels has now linked the oil market to the corn market and to agricultural markets in general,” he said. “If oil is high-priced, this will tend to mean agricultural markets are highpriced as well. All of that is contributing to higher commodity prices in general.” The authors also noted that agricultural markets have become less responsive to price changes, leading to both high prices and greater volatility in prices. Most of the U.S. corn used for ethanol is mandated by the government. The mandate requires that 12.6 billion gallons be blended into gasoline in 2011. It will increase to 15 billion by 2015. That requirement creates what economists call an “inelastic” market. “The amount of corn that it takes to produce

Wabash agency recognized for outstanding volunteerism Allstate agency owner Kenneth Wilson received the Allstate Agency Hands in the Community Award for his commitment to helping others. With this award came a $1,000 grant from The Allstate Foundation for the Wabash County Young Men’s C h r i s t i a n Association Inc. in Wabash, where Wilson volunteers. Allstate agents and employees have a proud history of putting their good hands to work in

supporting Indiana communities, promoting volunteerism and providing financial resources to enable local organizations to help others. “The Allstate Agency Hands in the Community Award celebrates the spirit of service and commitment to communities where we live, work and do business,” said David Kaehr, a representative for The Allstate Foundation in Indiana. “With support from The Allstate Foundation,

Kenneth Wilson and Wabash County Young Mens C h r i s t i a n Association Inc. are making our community a stronger, safer place.” The Allstate Foundation awards more than $1 million every year to nonprofit organizations across the country in honor of dedicated Allstate agency owners who give back. To be eligible for nomination, Allstate agency owners must volunteer with, mentor or lead a nonprofit of their choice.

that will be used in the U.S. whether corn is $2 a bushel or $10 a bushel,” Tyner said. “That’s pretty inflexible.” Other inflexibilities are coming from foreign buyers who want basic food commodities - almost regardless of price - and from the livestock sector, which now can afford to pay much higher prices for feed than just a few years ago. High corn, soybean and fuel prices eventually make their way into higher retail meat prices, the economists noted. The animal industries suffered heavy financial losses in 2008-09 when producers began to reduce herds and flocks after feed costs escalated and a world recession set in. That reduction in meat supplies forced retail prices up in 2010 and now to record-high retail prices for beef and pork in 2011.

Ethanol production has grown rapidly the past five years, but the rate of growth in mandated levels is beginning to slow, the authors said. This means that the demand base that has built up will persist but will not grow as quickly in the next few years. to the Looking future, they say a slowing rate of growth in both corn use for ethanol and in soybean purchases by China could provide a better chance for world grain supplies to catch up to slowing demand surges. “But it’s unlikely that we will go back to having huge surpluses because that demand base remains so strong,” Hurt said. The full report is available at http://www.farmfoundation.org, where previous reports also are posted.

Wabash County’s Mental Health Executive America Director Mary Ann Mast and board member Karen Newhouse attended the national convention for National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) on July 8 in Chicago. NAMI is a national organization with over 1,200 state and local affiliate organizations providing various services, support programs and education for consumers (people with a mental illness) and families. From its inception in 1979, NAMI has been dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. NAMI is known as the most formidable grassroots mental health advocacy organization in the country. Its dedicated grassroots leaders and members have produced profound changes over the last three decades. Through donations, NAMI provides three cornerstones of activity that offer the mentally ill and their families hope and reform: Awareness, Education, and Advocacy. Newhouse states, “The strong advocacy of NAMI for the mentally ill and their families is quite impressive. One of its strengths is the effective network of family members and consumers who know first-hand the complexity and struggles of mental illness. From those experiences, these members have the insight and purpose to generate the necessary changes in our nation’s views, support and legislation

to improve treatment and quality of life for the mentally ill.” “For example, mental illness in our country is too often misunderstood, shamed and feared. Unfortunately, this stigma remains in spite efforts to educate otherwise. NAMI’s Stigma Busters program is a network of dedicated advocates across the country who are seek ways to fight inaccurate and hurtful representations of mental illness. Wrong and inaccurate images are found in TV, film, print or other media, and it’s important to speak out and challenge stereotypes.” “The goal of not only of NAMI, but also Mental Health America is to break down the barriers of ignorance, prejudice, or unfair discrimination by promoting education, understanding, and respect. It’s a big challenge, but it’s so critically important that we teach the reality of mental illness and the courageous struggles faced every day by consumers and families,” states Mast. At the conference, Mast and Newhouse attended several workshops, including: Suicide Prevention and Intervention for Service Members, Veterans, and Their Families, Emerging Technologies to Improve Care, Religion and Spirituality: Assets or Liabilities in Recovery from Mental Illness, and Supporting Mental Health Consumers as Parents. Newhouse also attended the session, Working with People in Psychosis and met the

presenter and author Milt Greek who wrote Schizophrenia: A Blueprint for Recovery, sharing his personal experiences and insights on psychosis. Mast had an opportunity to meet Peter Barnes who wrote a book, Sixty Days to Sanity in which he shares how his bipolar disorder illness affected his freshman year in college. Xavier Amador, Ph.D., clinical professor at Columbia University, New York, was the evening keynote speaker who spoke on anosognosia (ano-so-g-nos’-ia.) In his book, I’m Not Sick, I Don’t Need Help! Amador states, “Anosognosia is the inability to perceive that one is ill due to a malfunction in a part of the frontal lobe of the brain that impairs the brain’s ability to see oneself accurately. It has been identified as the single biggest reason why more than 50 percent of people living with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder refuse treatment.” The session also provided practical communication tool on how to lower tension with the individual they are trying to help and strategies for leading the person into voluntary treatment. For more information about the conference or assistance with mental illness, please contact Mental Health America of Wabash County’s executive director, Mary Ann Mast at 1-866-774-3432 or mamast1906@comcast.net.

City of Wabash recognized as Blue Ribbon Business of the Month The Blue Ribbon Business for the month of August is the City of Wabash. Serving in his second term, Mayor R o b e r t Va n l a n d i n g h a m made it clear that the successful changes during his tenure are a direct result of surrounding himself with the right people. The City of Wabash employs approximately 103 employees in the following departments: police, fire, street, p a r k s ,

water/sewage, building commissioner’s office, City Court and City Hall. The Mayor stated, “Department officials, administrative staff and city employees play an intricate roll, working together in order to make many things possible for the citizens of Wabash. Our focus is to provide services that the public otherwise couldn’t afford, such as the Honeywell Pool and the City Park.”

The City also provides funding for the airport and senior center. The Mayor’s administrative staff includes Andrea Van Camp, Mary Anne Tait and Lindsey Schenkel. The staff feels very involved and informed on City issues. They feel valued when they come to work and have seen many positive changes since M a y o r Vanlandingham has taken office.

The City of Wabash and the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce have a good working partnership. Among its many members, there is a vast network of knowledge that can be obtained whenever needed. When asked about future projects, the Mayor stated, “Good things are coming. The City of Wabash, Bill Konyha and the E c o n o m i c Development Group are working together

to actively apply for grants to offset the cost of infrastructure in the new business park.” M a y o r Va n l a n d i n g h a m greatly enjoys serving the City of Wabash and finds it rewarding. He feels strongly that the City’s job is to take care of its citizens the best that it can. He is encouraged by the interest and involvement of the young professionals in the city, as they are the future of this

great community. The City of Wabash appreciates being named the Blue Ribbon Business of the Month for August, and thanks the

On Aug. 5, the M a n c h e s t e r Marching Squires participated in Indiana State Fair Band Day. Manchester placed 30th overall out of the 45 bands participating, and third in the Esprit de Corps competition. Wabash was the only other county school present at the competition.

MT. ETNA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

The Indiana Veterinary Medical Association (IVMA), in conjunction with the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, is teaming up to demonstrate surgical procedures and give presentations during the fair, which runs Aug. 5-21 in Indianapolis. For the 27th year, these two groups will demonstrate spay and neuter surgeries, explain the importance of these surgeries, and focus on teaching about other animals such as birds, horses, swine, poultry, dogs, fish and cats. The surgeries and presentations will be in the Our Land Pavilion. The spaying and neutering surgeries are done in a glassenclosed operating room that allows fairgoers to watch from seats outside. Overhead cameras in the room feed outside monitors that give observers a bird’s-eye view. Most of the surgeries are done by IVMA member veterinari-

ans. Assisting at each surgery will be a senior veterinary student, an anesthesia technician and a surgery technician. These volunteers also come from the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, who has been instrumental in coordinatthe surgery ing details. Surgeries are done each day at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. except for Aug. 10, Aug. 15, Aug. 17 and Aug. 20. In addition to the surgeries, various demonstrations throughout the run of the fair will address other animal health issues. This includes demonstrations on veterinary swine medicine, horses and cows, dogs and their teeth, poultry facts and finding the poison, to name a few. The IVMA is the professional organization for veterinarians who care for Hoosier pets, farm animals, zoo animals, wildlife and public health.

Grain shortage continues according to Purdue study Grain crops are being gobbled up faster than farmers can grow them, and that could portend trouble down the road if production doesn’t catch up, said a Purdue University agricultural economist. There have been two major demand surges

in the past five years, including the rising use of corn to produce ethanol and China’s purchases of soybeans, Chris Hurt said. The former has been driven by government biofuels mandates and high oil prices, while the latter is the product of China’s growing food

demand brought on by rapidly increasing incomes that have enabled the Chinese people to buy more food. “These greater levels of usage have placed a strain on the agricultural production system, resulting in low inventories that leave

little room for any production shortfalls,” Hurt said. “Producers certainly have responded to try to meet those demands, but what we’ve seen is that demand has really outpaced the ability of the world to supply.” Inventories of corn and soybeans are near “bare minimums” in the United States, Hurt said, with wheat stocks in better shape. Many years going into harvest there would be enough corn and soybeans in storage to last 45-60 days or more, Hurt said. That likely won’t be the case this fall. “With corn, it looks like we could be down to about a 24-day supply at the end of this marketing year,” he said. “That, of course, means any further threats to the 2011 crop yields would send markets into deeper shortages and higher prices.” Most of the corn grown in the world becomes livestock feed. But in recent years ethanol production has claimed a larger percentage of the crop, leading to increased corn acreage and higher prices, Hurt said.

“Fifty-nine percent of all the growth in corn use in the entire world over the last five years has been in a category where ethanol would be placed: industrial use,” he said. “Here in the United States over the last five years 100 percent of the increase in corn usage is for ethanol, representing 2.5 billion bushels of corn.” About 27 percent of the U.S. corn crop is used for ethanol, compared to 10 percent in 2005, Hurt estimated. All told, 16 million additional acres of corn from the 2010 crop were required to produce ethanol versus 2005. Soybeans also will be in short supply this Fall, Hurt said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated the domestic soybean supply might be just 22 days on Aug. 31. The U.S. experienced a 60 percent growth in soybean exports between 2005 and 2010, with China accounting for the growth, Hurt said. China tripled its purchases of U.S. soybeans in that five-year period, from 8 million acres to 23 million acres.

To satisfy the world’s hunger for food and fuel, American farmers have their work cut out for them. “Either of these demand surges would have had significant impacts on crop prices, farm incomes and land values, but because they were both big and came at the same time the impacts were even larger,” Hurt said. He sees some of the major farm issues playing out like this: - Commodity prices: Stocks for corn and soybeans are very slim, so prices could climb even higher if production shortages develop this summer. It likely will take two years to better restore low stocks, keeping prices strong and volatile until at least the 2012 crop year. “Price volatility sometimes seems very positive for producers when prices are going up for the products they sell but it also means that there could be periods where prices drop very, very quickly,” Hurt said. - Crop acreage: In recent years U.S. farmers have shifted acreage to the highdemand crops of corn

and soybeans and away from wheat, cotton and other feed grains such as sorghum and oats. As those crop acreages dropped prices rose so that most all crops now have high prices and there is little land in the U.S. left to shift to higher-demand crops. Land values: Farmland prices are soaring as crop prices have moved up faster than costs of production, allowing profit margins to increase. In addition, interest rates have been very low. “Those two conditions provide powerful reasons to bid up land values,” Hurt said. “Expected returns to corn and soybean production are extraordinarily high for 2011. “However, at this point, prices of corn and soybeans are expected to be lower for both the 2012 and 2013 crops. These lower prices, along with increased costs, are expected to narrow margins. Narrowing margins, along with the potential for higher interest rates, could keep land value increases at much more moderate levels in coming years.”

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, the Victory Christian Fellowship Kids Church began to collect aluminum pop cans to exchange for money at recycling centers. The money is sent to the Food for the Poor organization to pay for the construction of a home for a poor family living in the garbage dumps of Haiti. So far, four homes have been built, funded almost entirely by aluminum pop cans. The kids are hoping to raise enough money to build a fifth home by the end of the year. If you would like to help, please drop off your aluminum cans at the back of the Victory Christian Fellowship Church, 112 W. Main St., North Manchester. Please place the cans inside the white fenced in area - any time, day or night. If you have any questions or would like more information, contact Jeanna at 260-982-8357 or at jeanna@victorynm.org.

Foreign high school students are scheduled to arrive soon for academic semester and year homestay programs, and the sponsoring organization needs a few more local host families. The students are anxiously awaiting news of their new families. These young ambassadors are looking forward to fulfilling their life-long dreams. According to Pacific Intercultural Exchange (P.I.E.) president, John Doty, the students are all between the ages of 15 and 18 years, are English-speaking, have their own spending money, carry accident and health insurance and want to share their cultural experiences with their new American families. P.I.E. currently has programs to match almost every family’s needs, ranging in length from one

semester to a full academic year, where the students attend local public and private high schools. “At this critical time in our country’s history, hosting an international teen is the best and purest form of public diplomacy the United States has,” said Doty. P.I.E. area representatives match students with host families by finding common interests and lifestyles through an in-home meeting. Prospective host families are able to review student applications and select the perfect match. As there are no “typical” host families, P.I.E. can fit a student into just about any situation, whether it is a single parent, a childless couple, a retired couple or a large family. Families who host for P.I.E. are also eligible to claim a monthly

charitable contribution deduction on their itemized tax returns for each month they host a sponsored student. For the upcoming programs, P.I.E. has students from Germany, the Former Soviet Union, V e n e z u e l a , Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, Croatia, Korea, Mexico, Slovakia, China, and many other countries. P.I.E. is also participating in a special gover nment-funded program to bring scholarship students the Newly from Independent States of the former Soviet Union to live in American communities. P.I.E. is a non-profit educational organization that has sponsored more than 25,000 students from 45 countries since its founding in 1975. The organization is desig-
