Governor Pence awards Bill Konyha Sagamore of the Wabash

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com Last Wednesday, Senator Jim Banks stopped by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Breakfast Before Hours to deliver a special gift on behalf of Governor Mike Pence to Bill Konyha. Mr. Konyha, CEO of the Wabash County Economic Development Group, was awarded the Sagamore of the Wabash, which is the highest honor given by the governor. “Bill came to this community almost eight years ago. He won’t take any credit for it, but he is responsible for efforts that led to creating thousands of jobs and building millions of square feet of new buildings,” Senator Banks said before calling Konyha up to receive the award. “That puts people back to work. That grows the community. His efforts are truly important to the community.” Senator Banks nominated Konyha for the award and said the governor joked saying, “You know Jim, I’ve never given this particular award to a Buckeye.” “It took a little bit of convincing, but when it comes to extraordinary people, extraordinary Hoosiers, and we claim you as a Hoosier because you embody what it means to be a Hoosier; the governor relented and was happy to give you this award,” Senator Banks said at the breakfast. Konyha is originally from Cleveland, Ohio, but he has lived in Indiana over 27 years. “Whatever we’ve accomplished here, we have accomplished because Wabash has adopted me. I have adopted Wabash. This is my home. I will be a Buckeye football fan forever, but Indiana is now the home of the Konyha clan,” Konyha said after receiving his award. Konyha moved to Indiana with his wife of nearly 38 years Carole. Together they have four children and six grandchildren. The couple moved to the state so Mr. Konyha could take a vice president job for a real estate development company. After the company went bankrupt, Konyha needed a job and ended up with an economic development company in Indianapolis. “I’ve been in it (economic development) ever since,” Konyha told The Paper of Wabash. Konyha graduated from Kent State University with a degree in business. “I went to work right out of school for a large real estate firm, and I worked my way up to assistant to the vice president of development,” Konyha said. “I’ve done nothing more than real estate development or economic development.” Konyha says he enjoys economic development because it’s a, “blend of real estate development and business development. And I enjoy the political process and being in contact with elected officials. It’s an intersystem to accomplish goals that I really love.” Konyha became involved in the Indiana Economic Development Association, and shortly after serving as vice president with the organization the economic group in Wabash contacted

him to do a presentation on tax increments and financing. “I did a presentation, and I didn’t know they were doing stealth recruiting at the time. They were interviewing me and I didn’t know it,” Konyha said. After about three months of negotiations, Konyha agreed to come to Wabash to work as an economic developer. “We’ve (Bill and Carole) moved a lot because of employment, but this is the most friendly and welcoming community we’ve been to,” Konyha said. Konyha says he enjoys Wabash because of the, “cooperation between city and county government and North Manchester. Everybody is working together to accomplish the same thing.” Since coming to Wabash, Konyha has helped bring companies such as Living Essentials, POET and Cinergy Metronet into the county. “The greatest ongoing accomplishment is fostering communication between city and county governments. Indianapolis can’t do anything we can’t do here,” Konyha said. Konyha believes that Wabash must continue to attract manufacturing companies. “Manufacturing will continue to be a (continued on page 5)

Wabash Little League funds dwindle as bingo loses business by Kalie Ammons sports@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash Little League Bingo hall has been running for over 30 years to help fund the Little League teams. The late Jackie Parrett was the original bingo operator with Bill Hensley and Tom Ehret as the founders. The bingo hall was started to support the players in the county by a unique and fun fundraising experience. At one point, the Wabash Little League Bingo was successful enough to donate $250,000 to go towards the creation of the Field of Dreams. However, according to the president of Wabash Little League Bingo, Alan J. Zimmerman, things are not looking too good for the hall. “The thing is, bingo is not as popular as it once was. Bingo operations all over the country are shutting down,” Zimmerman told The Paper. “Unless the public takes action and supports bingo, the loss could lead to the loss of Wabash Little League.” The Wabash Little League Bingo funds the day-to-day operations of Little League, which reduces the cost to players’ families and the need for extra fundraisers. “Business cost started out at $100,000 a year, and we cut that by 30 percent by

(photo by Kalie Ammons) cutting everything we possibly could. Now Little League costs about $70,000 annually, and the Wabash Little League Bingo operation is essential to the League.” Zimmerman explains the factors for the loss in funds for Wabash Little League by looking at the state’s economy. “Right now, we have a perfect storm, and it’s not a good storm: the recession; field costs; and a decline in the bingo operation are reducing our Little League budget.” Zimmerman also explained the rise

in area casinos are leading people away from the Wabash bingo hall. “When it first began, Wabash Little League Bingo did very, very well. All of that money was kept in the community.” Now Zimmerman worries about how the League will be able to be competitive with the loss of funds. The League has plans to start a Senior League, which would expand the age range for Little Leaguers from 4-16 to 418. The League would also like to start a girls’ softball division and build an indoor practice facility. (continued on page 5)

‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign targets drunk drivers

From mid-August through Labor Day, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, Wabash Police Department and North Manchester Police Department will be out in force as part of the annual nationwide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” crackdown on drunk driving. Indiana’s high-visibility enforcement effort, also known as Operation Pull Over Blitz 76, will run from Aug. 16 through Sept. 2. The drunk driving crackdown will also consist of saturation patrols, DUI checkpoints, high-profile events and will be supported by state and national paid advertising, creating a com-

prehensive effort to curb drunk driving in August and through the Labor Day holiday weekend. “Every year, about one third of all motor vehicle traffic deaths involve one or more drunk drivers or motorcycle operators,” said Sergeant Steve Hicks. In 2012, there were 5,152 alcohol-related traffic crashes in Indiana (where impairment at 0.08 or above was listed as the contributing factor). These crashes resulted in 158 fatalities, 246 serious bodily injuries and 1,866 other injuries (a total of 2,112 non-fatal injuries). Sergeant Hicks added that holidays such as the Labor Day

holiday are particularly dangerous. During the 2012 Labor Day holiday period (Aug. 31-Sept. 4), there were 115 alcohol-related crashes in Indiana. During last year’s Labor Day Crackdown, there were 14,655 citations issued, 669 misdemeanor DUIs and 106 felony DUIs. Corporal Chad Galligan, Wabash Police Department, said its officers will be aggressively looking for drunk drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving drunk. Although it is illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to drive drunk (having a blood alcohol concentration of

.08 or higher), far too many people across the nation get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol. Drunk driving takes a particularly heavy toll among young drivers. The age group 2124 accounts for the highest rate of alcohol impaired drivers per 10,000 licenses for both males and females at 31.4 percent and 11.1 percent, respectively. Overall, the male rate of impaired driving collisions per 10,000 licenses is nearly three times higher than their female counterparts, 13.0 to 4.4, respectively. “Research has shown that high-visibility enforcement like the ‘Drive Sober

Lilly Endowment accepting applications for 2014 Teacher Creativity Fellowship program

INDIANAPOLIS – As the new school year gets underway, Lilly Endowment Inc. encourages Indiana schoolteachers, guidance counselors, media specialists, principals and assistant principals to dream big about how they’d like to spend the summer of 2014. The Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program, funded by the Endowment, will award 100 grants of $10,000 each to help make these dreams a reality. The Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program, now in its 27th year, provides funding for Indiana teachers and education professionals to pursue personally renewing, intellectually revitalizing and creative summer projects. Past fellowship recipients have explored national parks, studied Tajikistani language and culture, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, trained under a master woodworker, and

photographed cathedrals in central Europe, among many other activities. Since the program began in 1987, more than 2,500 Indiana educators have received grants for a dizzying array of imaginative adventures. The Teacher Creativity program is part of the Endowment’s longstanding commitment to help Indiana become an even more appealing locale for seasoned teachers and other education professionals. “Teachers and education professionals have incredibly demanding jobs, and research shows that these jobs often have high turnover,” said Sara B. Cobb, vice president for education at the Endowment. “The Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program is intended to help teachers and educators ‘get away’ and reinvigorate themselves. Fellows tell us that their experiences help them

or Get Pulled Over’ campaign reduces drunk driving fatalities by as much as 20 percent. By joining this nationwide effort, we will make Wabash County’s roadways safer for everyone throughout the Labor Day period,” said Corporal Galligan. “We want to remind everyone that getting behind the wheel drunk is a terrible idea. Unfortunately, not only does drinking impair your ability to operate a vehicle safely, it also impairs your judgment and good sense about whether you can, or should, drive. If you have any doubt about your sobriety, do not get behind the wheel. If you do choose to drive impaired, you will be arrested. No warnings. No excuses,” Sergeant Hicks said. Sergeant Hicks

noted that being arrested for driving drunk brings a wide range of negative consequences into one’s life. Drunk drivers face jail time, loss of their driver licenses and steep financial consequences such as higher insurance rates, attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work and the potential loss of job. When

family, friends and coworkers find out, violators also often face tremendous personal embarrassment. “Driving drunk is simply not worth the risk. So don’t take the chance. Remember, we will be out in force and we will be watching, so ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,’” said Corporal Galligan.

Cattle producers should watch for stress as hot weather returns

W E S T LAFAYETTEHeat and humidity are set to return to the eastern Corn Belt after weeks of unseasonably cool temperatures, meaning cattle producers need to be on the lookout for signs of heat stress in their herds. Heat stress in cattle is a concern because it can reduce breeding efficiency, milk production, feed intake and weight gain. Extreme cases can be fatal, said Ron Lemenager, Purdue Extension beef spe-

cialist. Heat stress affects all cattle, but hide color plays a role in determining which cattle might be more susceptible. Blackhided cattle absorb light, making them more prone to heat stress, whereas cattle with lighter colored hides, such as cream or red, might not become heat stressed as quickly. “The good thing is that here in the eastern Corn Belt, we’ve actually had some pretty cool temperatures through the

early part of the summer,” Lemenager said. “We don’t have the heat stress we had a year ago when we were experiencing the 2012 drought.” According to Lemenager, it usually takes a combination of high temperatures and high humidity to cause heat stress, but cattle also can experience heat stress in lower temperatures if humidity is high. Cattle seeking shade is an early sign of heat stress. Having enough shade available is one key to prevention. “The smaller the shade area, the worse the congregation of animals,” Lemenager said. “That’s probably not a good thing with cattle huddling together, obviously, because heat can be transferred from one animal to another.” Another risk is fly infestation. A high population of flies around a herd causes animals to huddle together more frequently. Flies can be managed with dust bags, insecticideimpregnated ear tags, insecticide sprays,

pour-on insecticides or some combination of these. Panting also can be a sign that cattle are heat stressed. “They probably will have their tongues hanging out like a dog, and that panting is a way to get rid of some excess heat,” Lemenager said. Cattle standing in ponds or creeks also could be caused by heat stress. In some cases, cattle can fall down or have convulsions. These are signs of severe heat stress, which can be fatal. Lemenager recommended that producers make sure cool, fresh water is available to cattle at all times and use more shaded pastures during the warmer months. Sprinkling cattle with water also can help to dissipate heat, but it shouldn’t be excessive. Producers also should be careful to keep cattle away from muddy areas, because hot mud could cause scalding where the skin comes in contact with the mud.

“With our low tax rates, pro-growth policies and outstanding location, Indiana is one of the best places in the country to build a business,” said Victor Smith, Indiana Secretary of Commerce. “In Indiana, companies can focus on what’s important—running their business—not navigating around government regulations and red tape.” Auger Torque, which currently employs nearly 200 full-time associates internationally, has already begun hiring welders, office personnel and sales associates. Interested applicants can apply by sending their resumes to careers@augertorqueusa.com. “Indiana’s favorable regulatory environment with its right-to-work law and its skilled manufacturing workforce made the state stand out as the perfect place for us to establish our first U.S. facility,” said Todd Miller, president of Auger Torque USA. “We’re looking forward to starting our operations in Huntington and growing our business here in the future.” Founded in 1998, Auger Torque manufacturers a vast array of earthmoving attachments, specializing in auger drives, augers and trenchers that range in weight upward from one ton. The company, which also operates five other facilities across the United Kingdom, China, Australia and Germany, exports its products to all seven continents and to more than 70 countries worldwide. Auger Torque sells its products through a distributor and dealer network, as well as to

original equipment manufacturers. The Indiana E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation offered Auger Torque USA, LLC up to $100,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $50,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Huntington approved additional incentives at the request of Huntington County E c o n o m i c Development. “The city of Huntington is thrilled to welcome the globally-based Auger Torque to our community,” said Huntington Mayor Brooks Fetters. “It is especially exciting to be home to its first facility in North A m e r i c a . Congratulations to Auger Torque and our economic development team for making this opportunity become a reality. Our city is here as your new friend and ally and we are delighted that you can make profit based in our community. Welcome to Huntington, Ind., USA.” Indiana has the highest level of manufacturing productivity among all Midwestern states and exceeds the national average, according to the 2013 Manufacturing and Logistics Report Card published by Conexus Indiana. The health of the state’s manufacturing industry has received an overall “A” rating annually since 2009, bolstered by Indiana’s low tax, pro-growth business environment.

significant part of the economy, and it will require higher levels of skill and training. That’s the direction we need to fill,” he said. Konyha noticed that Wabash would need to make a change right when he arrived. “My first impression when I arrived was we have a lot of work to do. We have a community that is like most of rural Indiana – trapped in the last century,” he said. “Rural Indiana has not had a healthy respect for education. We went from farm to factories. We earned a good living every-

where, and then factories went away.” Konyha, who serves on the Wabash City School’s board, is dedicated to raising the education level in Wabash County. “Wabash and North Manchester can be small cities, and we can do great, but we have to do things differently,” he said. The county goal is to raise the number of people with a college degree or certification from 25 percent to 60 percent, which Konyha believes will help attract 21st century jobs. Konyha has been in the development busi-

ness for 27 years and says he’s learned making one mistake at a time and meeting one person at a time. “One thing you have when you’ve been in this business as long as I have is a lot of scar tissue. I’ve made just about every mistake you can make, but I very seldom make the same one twice,” he said. “I’ve developed the reputation as an individual who, when I provide data to a company, they believe it, and it’s the kind of thing you can ruin really easily.” Konyha says he has a Type A personality

when it comes to work. “I don’t like holidays. I’ve taken one 2week vacation to get my hip replaced. I love to work,” he said. Konyha plans to work until he is physically unable. For now, his career goals are to continue to facilitate change and impact the needs of the community. “I would like to play a part in transitioning Wabash from what it is to what it needs to be in 10 years,” he said. Konyha was surprised by the Sagamore award and usually thinks of

these types of awards as lifetime achievements. “These things tend to come towards the end of one’s career, and I am not anywhere near the end of mine,” Konyha said of winning the award. “Once I get beyond the shock of it, I am left absolutely feeling humbled that whatever contributions I’ve been able to make to my community and state have been recognized and accepted. For me, it’s inspirational and inspires me to do more.”

Woman’s Clubhouse hosts Ice Cream in the Park on Aug. 25 by Kalie Ammons sports@thepaperofwabash.com Homemade pies à la mode, hot dogs and baked beans, fast pitched softball and carnival games will all be featured this Sunday, Aug. 25 in the Wabash City Park from 12-4 p.m. All proceeds from the event will help restore the Woman’s Clubhouse that overlooks the ball diamond. “I think our Ice Cream in the Park is going to be really neat. It’s going to be of interest to all ages of people. We’re serving light lunches and the main thing being home made pies with ice cream. Our little kids’ games and of course the softball game by the oldies is

going to be fun,” Mary DeLauter, Woman’s Clubhouse member and fundraiser organizer, told The Paper. For less than the cost of going to the movie theater, families will have the chance to listen to live music, eat homeprepared food, ride a Kiddy Train and support a good cause. “This is our first year for it. It’s a fundraiser, and we have to either replace or repair our back porch on the clubhouse. So this is the first of many fundraisers we’ll have in order to do that job. It’s kind of exciting, you know, because those are big jobs, and a bunch of women can conquer

it,” DeLauter, explained. The Woman’s Clubhouse is a group of friends that meet once a month for lunch and have a program. “Anyone can attend,” DeLauter says, “We have a lot of members because we keep our dues very low and encourage them all to use the clubhouse or come to some of our functions.” The giant house sits on Wabash City Park property and is a meeting area for a range of clubs, including the Quilter’s Guild and Euchre and Bridge. “We rent it out for different occasions like showers and reunions, so it is available. It’s just a

nice place to go and be with your friends and have a nice social time. If someone wants to book a party and wants the chef to do the food, she will. We have nice services of that type.” The City Tram will be running from the park to the Honeywell Center’s West Lot to aid with parking and to offer free rides. DeLauter enthusiastically reminds the public about how much fun there is to be had at this event: “We’re really doing it up nice. My husband and neighbor have been working on this ticket booth, and it’s just so cute! It’s going to look very much like a fair. I know Modoc is going

to be there. There’s going to be a little carousel and a little train, so it’s not just a little function, I think we’re doing a lot in those few hours.” So be sure to leave room for ice cream and pie while watching Old Timers’ Fast Pitch Softball this Sunday in the park.

Extension Homemakers Leadership retreat held on Aug. 13

The fall leadership meeting was held at Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Home on Aug. 13 for the E x t e n s i o n H o m e m a k e r s Leadership group. Members attending were Ellie Draper, Happy Homemakers; Cece Wood, Rosemary

Barnes, Linda Landis, 4-H Council Rep, and Mary Ruth Mendenhall, County Secretary, from Liberty Bells, Ruth Dyson County Cochair, Jane Cole, and Bonita Kirtlan from Richvalley; Jean Sneed and Janet Pattee from Riverside,

and Teresa Witkoske, County Educator. Teresa Wikoske gave a report about upcoming programs and activities. Sarah Anguilm is planning cooking classes for clients that are served through her office. More information is to come. Teresa will continue the Professor Popcorn classes to the fourth grade in the local schools, but this year will focus on the theme “Your Plate” rather than the food pyramid. She will be serving on several committees during the upcoming year that will be local and in connection with Purdue. Linda Landis stated that the Audit Committee had audited the treasurer’s books from the past year. 19686

Ruth Dyson talked about the President’s L u n c h e o n / Achievement Day. The speaker’s program was about scarves. Those who had seen this program wished for a video to show some of the ways she had used scarves. Cultural Arts exhibits were down from past years. Members are encouraged to try to exhibit more next year. Richvalley was thanked for their work in preparing the program books for the upcoming year. There were two corrections: Ellie Draper will assume the position of Education Chair. Liberty Bells meeting time is to be corrected to read “starting time is 7 p.m. for the months of April through November.” Ruth Dyson talked about the conference at Purdue. She had a copy of the Extension Homemaker’s 100th year anniversary book that was passed

around. There were three attendees from Wabash County. Ellie Draper spoke about the Open Show at the 4-H Fair. Some of the entrants were worried about their projects being stolen. A numbering system was suggested. Teresa also said that there needs to be a better plan for the release of exhibits and that she needs some help during release times next year. The silent auction netted a total of $508. Teresa Witkoske reported there was only one scholarship applicant this past year, and there were no entries for the State Fair Leadership School. High school seniors should think about applying for one of the scholarships available. Information is available at the Extension Office in the Court House. Wabash County will host DeKalb County for this year’s Host-a-

Michael

Blue book packets were given to club presidents and council members. This material was reviewed. E x t e n s i o n H o m e m a k e r s throughout the state will continue with the International Project titled “Water Around

the World” until 2015. Water Around the World will purchase portable purification devices to remove bacteria from water; any water source can be used. These devices will be sent to missionaries in countries where there is no clean water available. First Books for Kids will continue serving Preschool and Head Start children in Wabash County. A book is given to each child after a volunteer has read to the class. Volunteer readers are always needed. The Kokomo District fall meeting will be held in Miami County on Sept. 3. Reservations and money is to be sent to Jane Long by Aug. 26. This meeting will have a circus theme. The next Council meeting will be Sept.10 at 9 a.m. in the Farm Bureau Insurance Building.

Red Cross to reward blood donors as summer winds down With the arrival of Labor Day and the unofficial end to summer, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to roll up a sleeve and give blood or platelets to help ensure sufficient supplies over the holiday weekend. Those who are present to donate between Aug. 26 and Sept. 9 could win one of five $1,000 American Express gift cards, and all donors will walk away with the instant gratification that they may be helping to save more than one life. “The summer may be coming to an end, but the work of the Red Cross is far from over,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO of the Red Cross IndianaOhio Blood Services Region. “As you make plans for this Labor Day holiday, please also make time to give blood and help patients who depend on your lifesaving donation.” While thousands of people answered the call for blood and platelet donations issued by the Red

Cross earlier this summer, an urgent need remains for platelets and types O negative, A negative and B negative blood. The summer months can be especially difficult to collect enough blood and platelet donations to keep pace with patient needs. “Patients in local hospitals often can’t take a break to enjoy the holiday,” Whitman said. “But blood and platelet donors can give these patients a chance to enjoy this time with family and friends – simply by rolling up a sleeve.” To help spur additional donations over the Labor Day weekend, all presenting blood and platelet donors between Aug. 30 and Sept. 2 will also receive a complimentary Red Cross Tshirt. Live a story. Give a story. Donate blood or platelets. Call 1-800-733-2767 or visit redcrossblood.org/su mmer for more information and to make an appointment to help save lives.

College guide declares MU “Best in the Midwest”

M a n c h e s t e r University undergraduates prepare for the real world in small classes that emphasize critical thinking, reports “The Princeton Review.” A leading authority and guide for college-bound students, “The Princeton Review” includes Manchester in its 2014 Best in the Midwest. “Our Regional Best Colleges constitute only 25 percent of the nation’s four-year colleges – a select group, indeed,” said Robert Franek, senior vice president and publisher. “We’re pleased to recommend these colleges to users of our site as the best schools to earn their undergrad degrees.” Manchester was selected primarily for its “excellent” academic program and what MU students reported about their campus experiences, he said. The Princeton Review lauds Manchester for taking advantage of its small class sizes to teach “more than just information retention; critical thinking is key to

success in many programs.” Other praise: “Manchester undergrads prepare for the real world during college, thanks to the school’s commitment to experiential learning and strong study abroad programs, which help assure that every student has the right tools and resources to succeed after college.” Senior Morgan Peas agrees wholeheartedly. “ M a n c h e s t e r University has given me more opportunities than I ever imaged,” says Peas, a communication studies major from Urbana, Ind. “I am earning a bachelor’s degree in three years and will study abroad for a semester in England this fall. None of this would have been possible without the support I received from faculty and staff. “My advisor has coached me through life challenges as well as the three times I changed the goal for my future. Her guidance provides the structure I need to get through accelerated coursework while maintaining

three on-campus jobs.” M a n c h e s t e r University annually ranks among the best in the nation and the Midwest for its academic program, commitment to volunteer service and as a great place to work. The Princeton Review annually gives MU high ratings for academic rigor and financial aid. The Princeton Review does not rank its Regional Best colleges. The 155 “Best in the Midwest” are in 12 states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. M a n c h e s t e r University offers more than 55 areas of study in its undergraduate program in North Manchester, Ind., where classes begin Aug. 27. MU also offers a fouryear professional Doctor of Pharmacy degree on its Fort Wayne campus, and master’s degrees in athletic training and education. Learn more at www.manchester.edu.

West Nile Virus now active in 35 counties INDIANAPOLISâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Health

officials

continue to encourage

Hoosiers to take steps

to protect themselves from West Nile virus and other mosquitoborne diseases after mosquito samples from 35 counties have now tested positive for the virus. There has been one human case of West Nile virus in Ripley County and one equine case in Adams County. Counties with West Nile virus-infected mosquitoes include: Adams, Allen, Carroll, Clinton, Daviess, Delaware, DeKalb, Grant, Hamilton, Jay, Jefferson, Knox, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Lake, Marion, Marshall, Martin, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Newton, Noble, Ohio, Parke, Steuben, Sullivan, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Starke, St. Joseph, Vanderburgh, Vigo, White and Whitley. The Indiana State Department of Health has collected and tested nearly 120,000 mosquitoes from all 92 counties for West Nile virus and Saint Louis encephalitis. There have been no positive findings for Saint Louis encephalitis at this time.

State health officials recommend the following preventative measures: Avoid places where mosquitoes are biting; Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaradin or oil of lemon eucalyptus to clothes and exposed skin; Install or repair screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of the home; and when possible, wear pants and long sleeves, especially if walking in wooded or marshy areas. West Nile virus can cause West Nile fever, a mild form of the illness, which can include fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph glands or a rash. Some individuals will develop a more severe form of the disease with encephalitis or meningitis and other severe syndromes, including flaccid muscle paralysis. To reduce potential mosquito breeding grounds: Discard old tires, tin cans, ceramic pots or other containers that can hold water; Repair failed septic

systems; Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers left outdoors; Keep grass cut short and shrubbery trimmed; Clean clogged roof gutters, particularly if leaves tend to plug up the drains; Frequently replace the water in pet bowls; Flush ornamental fountains and birdbaths periodically; and aerate ornamental pools, or stock them with predatory fish. Individuals who think they may have West Nile virus should see their health care provider. For more information about mosquito safety, please visit the Indiana State Department of Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.StateHealth.IN.g ov. Information about mosquito activity in the state can be found a t www.in.gov/isdh/235 92.htm . Follow the Indiana State Department of Health on Twitter at @StateHealthIN and on Facebook.

Department of Insurance works with providers to lower medical malpractice insurance rates

INDIANAPOLIS – In a cooperative effort between the Indiana’s two largest malpractice insurance carriers and the staff of the Indiana Department of Insurance, medical malpractice insurance rates are decreasing an average of eight percent, saving physicians and hospitals an estimated $4.4 million in premiums. Stephen W. R o b e r t s o n , Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Insurance (DOI), explained that DOI staff had been monitoring malpractice rate reductions in other states over the past year. The staff reached out sepa-

rately to the two largest malpractice insurance carriers in the State of I n d i a n a (ProAssurance Indemnity Company, Inc. and The Medical P r o t e c t i v e Company). After several months of cooperative research and discussion, the providers calculated the eight percent overall rate reduction. The major factor impacting the rate reductions was improved claims experience. Robertson added, “I am pleased that our cooperative work with the insurance industry resulted in these rate reductions for over 7,000 physicians and other med-

ical service providers in Indiana. Because we know that malpractice insurance premiums are a significant expense to the medical industry and contribute to the overall cost of medical care, we will continue to monitor these rates and work with the insurance industry to keep them as reasonable as possible.” Not all types of health care providers will see the same reductions, however, and certain allied health providers such as surgical assistants and podiatrist may see premiums increase. Another positive development

Aquaculture industry in Indiana growing W E S T LAFAYETTE - The business of raising fish may still be relatively small in Indiana, but it is a growing part of the state’s agricultural economy, a Purdue Extension report concludes. Estimated sales from Indiana fish farms amounted to more than $15 million in 2012, an increase from $3.5 million in 2006, according to the publication “Economic Importance of the A q u a c u l t u r e Industry in Indiana.” There are about 50 fish producers in Indiana, compared with 18 just seven years ago. “While aquaculture is not the most well-known industry in Indiana’s agriculture sector, it is definitely present and very important to the state’s economy,” Kwamena K. Quagrainie, aquaculture marketing specialist in Purdue

U n ive r s i t y ’s Department of Ag ricultural Economics, said in the report. He conducted the study with graduate student Megan C. Broughton. “The industry has seen steady growth over the past few years, and it is important to know exactly how much economic activity is associated with aquaculture in I n d i a n a , ” Quagrainie said. Indiana’s aquaculture industry ranges from small-scale producers raising fish in their backyards to large-scale producers growing fish to sell in national and international markets, the report says. The industry includes production of fish for human food, ornamental fish for aquariums and recreational fish that are stocked in private and public ponds and lakes. Raised for food are

such fish and shellfish as yellow perch, hybrid striped bass, tilapia, trout, marine shrimp and freshwater prawns. Sport fish include catfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and sunfish such as bluegill. The study measured the significance of the industry in 2012 in several ways, including the total income of $3.7 million earned by 169 people employed in aquaculture, their $101,506 in income taxes and $877,908 in sales taxes the industry generated for Indiana. The study was funded by Purdue Extension, IllinoisIndiana Sea Grant and the Indiana Soybean Alliance and was conducted in cooperation with the Indiana A q u a c u l t u r e Association. The soybean alliance has recognized aquaculture as “the next major new

market for soybeans” and has an initiative to help the industry continue its growth in Indiana, according to the report. It says that one percent of the U.S. soybean crop is used in aquaculture as fish feed and that soybean meal is the top protein ingredient in fish feeds worldwide. Indiana soybean and corn farmers could benefit from a growing aquaculture industry, the report notes. They likely would see increased demand for soybeans and corn as well as higher prices for them. “Even though the farmers would continue to produce their products if the aquaculture industry were not present, the advantage of having a local marketing opportunity is very important,” the report says.

is that one carrier is eliminating a system that caused providers in Lake and Porter counties to pay significantly more than similar professionals in other parts of the

state. “We appreciate the efforts of Commissioner Robertson to help physicians in these difficult times,” commented Indiana

State Medical Association (ISMA) President Gordon Hughes, M.D. “Obviously, our commissioner has the wisdom to understand that patients

in Indiana will be the ultimate beneficiaries of this reduction.” The ISMA has approximately 8,000 members from all areas of the state.

Zany and Aufderheide, an Indiana native, pair up in what has been billed a generational comedy performance

with improv and audience participation. Zany offers up blunt and straightforward style comedy while Aufderheide tempers her zingers with Midwest goodnaturedness in what could be called “The Sweet and Sour Show.” The September show marks Zany’s return to Wabash following his participation in the “Bob and Tom Comedy All-Stars” show that played at the Honeywell Center in Feburary 2010.

Reymundo has been a longtime tour partner with fellow Texan Ron White, for whom he opened at the Honeywell

Center this past February. During the past two decades, Reymundo has emerged as a standout in stand up.

As Collier regales tales involving mishaps by his West Virginia cousins, his Scottish heritage, unruly inlaws and alien abductions, audiences find themselves laughing

many which were written by Gregg Allman. Allman has continued touring throughout the U.S. as part of The Allman Brothers and with his own combo, which he will showcase at the Honeywell Center show.

When Cook and Clifford launched Creedence Clearwater Revisited

in 1995 to perform music from the legendary CCR, rave reviews followed.

He has toured the world with the likes of Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, Bill Engvall, and, most notably, Larry the Cable Guy, with whom he has twice criss-crossed the United States and Canada.

L A F O N TA I N E LIONS met on Thursday, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m. with Lion Duane Davis as host. Lion President Tom Polk opened the meeting, they then gave the prayer. Lion Duane led the pledge of Allegiance. Secretary and Treasure reports were read and approved. No Community Building or United Fund report was given. Lion Ethel Eib reported that she went to the 1812 meeting on what to wear. They stress to wash your hands regularly. Do not wear tennis shoes or shoes with holes in them. If you

have a beard, please cover it with a hair net. Pretty much any shade of color can be used. Men should wear hats or rags tied around their heads and ladies to wear bonnets. A sign up slip was passed around to sign up for time slots for the Richvalley Lions Tenderloin Fry, which will be on Sept. 28. Lion Kim Polk brought the idea that we should promote the Tenderloin Fry as a fundraiser. It was voted the proceeds would be used for 2014 scholarships for seniors from Liberty Township. Lion Ethel stated she had gotten three quotes on a sign for the Kettle Corn Trailer. Upon review of the quotes it was decided to go local with Chuck Cable Signs. She also stated Chuck had given a quote on the sign out

front of the building. It was voted to also give Chuck this to do over per his quote. Lions will decide just what they want it to say. Lion Ethel stated that she told Jessica Foley’s father to help themselves to any supplies they would need from the Lions supply for the fundraiser, because they had run out of items. After the fundraiser he told her what they had use and to present him with a bill. Lions voted to donate the items as they had already donated the use of building and the sign on the highway. Lion Kim stated that the next time someone uses the building for a fundraiser for charity, the club should volunteer a person to help with overseeing or helping them, as they might not know how

much to buy. It was voted the next time that someone would volunteer to do this. Lion Ethel ordered the dictionaries for the third grade at S o u t h w o o d Elementary. Lion Tom said he wanted the club members to be thinking about new projects we could do for the community. Next meeting will be on Thursday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. with Lion Andy Kirk as host.

Silent auction fundraiser to support Senior Center

When Rita walked into the Senior Center for the first time she saw a great little community. “To walk in here at age 84 and feel as if you are a part of a team, and that you are needed, is a wonderful feeling,” she said. “I don’t mind coming here alone, because once you walk in, you are never alone again.” Many who come to the Senior Center share Rita’s feelings. They’ve found a new group of friends and opportunities in addition to the many programs, resources, and services offered at the Center located at 239 Bond St., Wabash. According to CEO Beverly Ferry, the Senior Center group is family for many who either don’t have family nearby or who enjoy fellowship during the day. When Rita was recently hospitalized, a friend she had only recently met at the Senior Center walked from her home to the hospital to see Rita. Although her friend was not able to speak, they spent an hour visiting with each other. Sam and his wife began to come to the Center for lunch last fall when he was looking for something he and his wife, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, could get out of the house and do

together. His wife recently passed away and Sam wasn’t sure if he could come back or not. It was the friends he made at the Center that encouraged him to return, and Sam continues to be a regular for lunch and other events. Services such as Medicare counseling, foot care, eyeglass adjustments, blood pressure checks, nutritional lunches, and

events and programs such as a monthly birthday party, Euchre, knitting and crochet and exercise class provide Wabash County residents, especially those who are 60 years of age or older with a perfect place to connect, stay active, and remain healthy and independent for as long as possible. Senior Centers receive no state or federal funding and

depend on donations to operate. An annual fund drive is held each year to help meet this need and on Thursday, Aug. 22, the Arts, Antiques and Treasures Silent Auction will be held with proceeds benefitting the Center. The Auction is open to the public and runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will be held at the REMC building, 350 Wedcor Ave, Wabash.

Master, Cliff Kindy at kindy@cpt.org. Visit the “North Manchester Farmer’s Market” on Facebook to stay up-to-date on new produce and items available throughout the season. SOUP SUPPER hosted by the Fellowship of Churches is held on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month at the Zion Lutheran Church from 4:30-6 p.m. PARTING SHOTS: “A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care. A friend is a feeling of

forever in the heart.” NORTH MANCHESTER NEWS ITEMS may be sent to my email address at nmanchestertalks@g mail.com or you may call me at 260-982-8800.

LAGRO TOWN NEWS: July Town Board Meeting Minutes were provided by Town Clerk, Kristie Bone. Minutes were read and approved from the prior meeting. Bone discussed disconnect notices with the board. Bone gave a list of customers that were in danger of shut off based on lack of payment and communication with the town clerk. Scott discussed the removal of the middle wall in the rental rooms and the concession stand going into the back of the building. Bone

also discussed the budget with the board. The DLGF budget meeting is Aug. 17. Scott told the board he will be on vacation Aug. 7-14 and will be in conference Aug. 21-22. $250.00 SCHOLARSHIP applications need to be submitted by Oct. 1. Applications can be picked up and dropped off at the community building. This scholarship is funded by the Lagro Fair Board; rules and restrictions are listed on the application. A M E R I C A N LEGION membership cards are available for pick up at the post. LAGRO CENTURY CLUB met Aug. 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the home of Jane Tracy with Carolyn Hegel presiding in place of Arlene Wolfgang. Nine mem-

bers were present. Carolyn opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll call response was “a favorite household tip,” the favorite tip was “hire someone.” The minutes of the last meeting were read by secretary Glenna Harmon, followed by the treasurer’s report. There was no old business. New business included an update on Joyce Speelman’s new address in Swayzee. The September meeting will be at Mary Jane Forrester’s home at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 12. Roll call will be: Bring a favorite Bible verse. After the meeting, Jane Tracy gave a review of a book by Mary Lou Quinlan, entitled The God Box. It was about a box that her mother kept all her life. When

someone had a problem of any kind – health issue, family issue, job concern; a problem of any kind, she would say, “I’ll put it in my God box.” She would write it on a piece of paper, the back of a letter, whatever was close and drop it in her “God box”. Every day she prayed over that box of concerns. Whenever an answer came she would put the praise in The God Box. At the end of her life she had filled 10 boxes with scraps of paper naming the request and answers to prayers. Each item accompanied with “I’ll put it in my God Box”. Refreshments were then served by hostess, Jane Tracy. Minutes prepared by Glenna Harmon. LAGRO COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS: Church mem-

She misses the bustling town and some of the things that 1950 and 1960 Lagro life offered. The fairs were some of her favorite times with the dancing, music and socializing. Fronie has a few hobbies; she still enjoys a good card game, country music and her garden. PLEASE EMAIL your information to lagronews@hotmail.c om or call at 260-5719996.

of Hogan Moss, 23, Logansport. Moss was arrested at the Indiana State Police Peru Post and incarcerated in the Miami County Jail. He faces two class B felony charges for neglect of a dependent and battery. Rozzi initiated his investigation after receiving information from the Miami County Division of the Indiana

Department of Child Services of a suspected child abuse case involving a onemonth old Bunker Hill girl. The investigation revealed that on Aug. 4, Charli Mangelsdorf was transported to a Miami County hospital, by her mother, with a high fever and feeding issues. Later that day, the mother transported the child to an Indianapolis

hospital. A subsequent CAT scan revealed a subdural hemorrhage along with other medical issues. There were no visible external injuries. Charli was transferred to Riley Children’s Hospital where additional tests were conducted. Further examination allegedly revealed numerous retinal hemorrhages in the girl’s eyes. According

to medical staff, there was no accidental event to explain the medical findings and the injuries incurred by Charli. Her condition is often referred to as “Shaken Baby Syndrome.” Further investigation by Detective Rozzi, revealed that the injuries to Charli purportedly occurred on Aug. 3. It is alleged the injuries were inflicted while Charli was in the care of her father, Hogan Moss, at a Bunker Hill, apartment. Moss was purportedly watching the child while the mother was running errands. He allegedly shook Charli, in a

Hogan Moss

front to back motion, to get the infant to stop crying. Indiana State Police Detective First Sergeant Bob Burgess and Detective Paul Baker assisted detective Rozzi with this investigation.

Two Miami County residents arrested on 13 felony charges PERU – Recently, a two month long criminal investigation by Indiana State Trooper Wendell Beachy and officers from the Peru Police Department resulted in the arrests of Justin M. Radar, 31, and his girlfriend, Crystal L. Shuck, 28, both of Peru. The couple was incarcerated in the Miami County Jail to face felony charges for manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, maintaining a common nuisance, possession of hypodermic needles, possession of chemical precursors, and possession of a schedule III controlled substance. Radar faces an additional felony charge for possession of marijuana with a prior conviction. They both face a misdemeanor charge for possession of drug paraphernalia. Shuck faces an additional misdemeanor charge for possession of marijuana. Thursday, at approximately 10

p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police Peru Post Meth Suppression Team, along with officers from the Peru Police Department, executed a Miami Superior Court search warrant on Shuck and Radar’s residence at 359 West 7th Street in Peru. During their search, officers allegedly found methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, marijuana, prescription medication, hypodermic needles and chemical precursors commonly associated with the manufacturing of methamphetamine. Radar is being held on a $68,000 bond. Shuck’s bond is $63,000. The Indiana State Police encourages anyone with information about the possession, distribution, or manufacturing of methamphetamine to call the Indiana State P o l i c e Methamphetamine Tip Line at 1-800-4534756. Information can be reported anonymously.
