Local man captures world record snapping turtle

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com According to legends, a giant beast roams the murky bottoms of Fulk Lake in Churubusco. The creature weighs 500 pounds, is as big as car hood and is called the Beast of Busco. Others call him by his less menacing name, Oscar, which may suit him better since the socalled beast is a turtle. Oscar brought thousands of curious spectators to the small town and one man to ruins as he invested all his money into finding the creature. Oscar has never been found, but his story lives on in the town, which calls itself Turtle Town USA and holds an annual Turtle Days Festival. As a young boy, Bill Haywood listened to his grandfather tell the story of the Beast of Busco. Filled with a child’s imagination, Bill determined that one day he would catch a turtle the size of the Beast. Nearly 30 years later, Bill, a Wabash County resident, has yet to find a 500-pound turtle, but he has captured one of the biggest you can get. Bill recently trapped the world record for the largest living North American snapping turtle. This past Memorial Day Weekend, Bill took his son Canaan out for their first father-son turtle trapping trip in a lake west of Silver Lake. “We pulled the trap out of the water, and he was in the trap with about three other nice sized turtles. He’s probably never been out of the water his whole life,” Bill told The Paper of Wabash in an interview. “He was so big he just started ripping the trap apart and he charged at me. We couldn’t get the whole trap into the boat, and I gave it a big pull and knocked my son off the boat,” he said. Canaan climbed back into the boat and quick- OUT ON A FATHER-SON TURTLE TRAPPING TRIP, Canaan (left) and Bill Haywood (right) caught a world record turly started the motor and headed for the nearest tle.

Bill and Canaan were able to flip the turtle onto his back and load him into the truck. “I knew it was a personal record,” Bill said of his initial thoughts of the turtle. “We were actually hanging them up to clean them, and we decided to investigate to see if he was a record of some kind.

MU’s economic report sheds light on ‘comparative advantages’ of Wabash County

Wabash County may want to leverage its comparative advantage in manufacturing to attract more manufacturers and related businesses to the region, say M a n c h e s t e r U n i v e r s i t y researchers. The findings by MU faculty and students appear in the June 2013 Wabash County Economic Report that biannually identifies

growth opportunities and tracks economic advantages. The report is a terrific resource for community planners, says Bill Konyha, president and CEO of the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County. “Every community has its strengths and weaknesses,” says John Deal, assistant professor of economics. “In an economi-

cally perfect world, each community would focus on its strengths and abandon activities in areas of weakness. This is what economists call ‘comparative advantage.’” The Manchester researchers discovered that Wabash County has a strong resource of skilled manufacturing workers and low start up costs, says Matt Hendryx, visiting assistant professor of e c o n o m i c s . Developers should promote that comparative advantage to draw more manufacturers to the county, he says. MU faculty and students unearthed Wabash County’s manufacturing

advantage by studying key economic data. Communities rarely monitor their comparative advantages as their demographics shift; businesses arrive, expand and contract; and technology and transportation systems change, says Deal. M a n c h e s t e r embarked on the Wabash County Economic Report in January 2012 with a Ball Brothers Foundation grant. Before the study, critical Wabash County economic data was buried in government archives or nonexistent. The project fills this void by collecting and aggregating important data, allowing for informed policy making and a more

vibrant Wabash County. “The Wabash County Economic Report has become one of the components of the critical data that we consult as we adapt and revise our economic development strategic plan,” says Konyha. “We are proud to be associated with the report.” Other issues of the Wabash County Economic Report analyzed the economic health of Wabash County, revealing population trends, customer price indices and a declining number of high school students taking the SAT, a popular college entrance exam. M a n c h e s t e r University students are heavily involved in the project. They collect data by scouring census, Federal Reserve and Bureau of Labor Statistics data and conducting

research of their own. They also present their findings to agencies and organizations in the county and develop connections with local businesses. Manchester hopes to expand the report with more extensive surveys. The January 2014 report will survey local businesses about the state of the economy, with sur-

veys of residents planned for subsequent issues. Read more about the report a t www.manchester.edu. Original grant funding is nearly depleted, but with generous support of the Community Foundation of Wabash County and local businesses, the report will continue.

Fagin seeks amendment ratification

4.4 DAYS THE PAPER OF WABASH

Dear Editor, In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in “Citizens United vs. Federal Elections Commission.” That decision, in contradiction to over a century of campaign finance law, made it legal for massively wealthy corporations to spend untold sums to influence our elections on every level—federal, state and local. It essentially declared that “corporations” have the same rights as “natural persons”—like you and me. A “corporation” in this country was originally a temporary organization of people in a legally sanctioned business arrangement for the purpose of carrying out a specific money making project, such

as clearing a path through the woods so that pioneer families could get to a frontier settlement. Over the years, however, the definition of “corporation” was expanded to allow for continuously existing business organizations, such as the multinational giants of today. President Lincoln, in 1864, foresaw the threats to American sovereignty inherent in ever-increasing corporate power. He said, “... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the

money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.” That time has come. Today, the wealthiest one percent of Americans enjoy incomes that, in proportion to the incomes of all other Americans combined, is like a ratio of five miles to one inch, i.e., they get five miles, you get one inch. Both domestic and international corporate interests are on a

campaign to drastically limit government to benefit their bottom lines. We see it in the elimination of collective bargaining and workers’ rights, increasing restrictions on voters’ rights and human rights (many prisons in America are now privately-owned for-profit entities rather than state-run facilities), and the narrowing of long-recognized civil and human rights. If they can reduce the size of government enough so that enforcement of financial, environmental, employment, safety,

Local veteran praises new Wabash County Veteran Services officer Dear editor, I’m writing this article to help veterans. As you know, numbers count. The more veterans that sign up for benefits, the more money congress will appropriate for that cause. Even if you don’t need help now, you may in the future. The main thing is to sign up now. The people who do need help will benefit from you signing up. See your Veteran Service Officer now. He is located in the old courthouse, on the second floor. His name is Cameron Lochner and he is doing his best to help the veterans of Wabash County. If you are or know any veterans, have them contact him soon. Veterans comprise a large block of voters and politicians know this. If we stick together, we can get good politicians in office, which I think is our responsibility. It is time (once again) for us to protect our country. I want to thank Cameron for what he has done for me and all the other veterans, just for the short time he has been in office.

LAWRENCE AND BEVERLY (VROOMAN) DENNEY will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on Aug. 6. Lawrence and Beverly were married Aug. 6, 1948 at the Wabash Christian Church Parsonage with Rev. Ralston Brock officiating. Lawrence is retired from Denney Motor Sales where he was co-owner and service manager. Beverly is a homemaker.

and health regulations (laws designed to protect real people) becomes impossible, they win—and the American people suffer a great loss. The time for action contemplated by the historic words: “When, in the course of human events ...” is here and now. A Constitutional Amendment to overturn Citizens United is now an imperative. The “Democracy is for People Constitutional Amendment”, has been introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders (I. Vt.) and Representative Ted Deutch (D. Fla.). It simply declares that the right to “political contributions and expenditures to influence the outcome of elections belong only to natural persons.” It would get corporate money out of our elections and give them back to real citizens, where they belong. It would behoove every American (and especially every Hoosier) who is interested in living under a truly representative government, to take action and immediately urge their City and County councils, and State and Federal representatives, to work for ratification of this Amendment.

NAP credits offer tax savings to individuals and corporations Officials at Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center recently announced that the Indiana Housing and C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t Authority (IHCDA) awarded $15,505 in Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) tax credits to the Center, one of 217 Indiana nonprofit organizations selected in the State for participation in the program. NAP Tax Credits may be awarded to individuals or corporations who donate a minimum of $100 19457_1

(cash, check, credit card or stock). Donors receive half the amount of the gift as a credit on their Indiana Department of Revenue taxes. However, the entire amount of the gift is considered a charitable contribution. For example, a gift of $1000 to Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center results in a $500 tax credit against State of Indiana taxes. Therefore, a gift of $1000 with $500 NAP credits costs the taxpayer the same as a $500 gift without NAP credits. In essence, the taxpayer is giving the amount paid to the State of Indiana to Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center, when they receive NAP credits. “We are very grateful for these tax credits,” says Beverly Ferry, CEO of Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc., the agency that operates the Senior Center. “NAP credits provide a win-win for the Center and the donor.” According to Ferry, recent funding changes and challenges have become threats to the basic services offered by Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc. While the actual Senior Center does not receive State or Federal funds, there is a trickledown effect on the Senior Center. “Regardless of the reasons for cutbacks,

Kelli is a 2008 graduate of Southwood Jr.-Sr. High School and 2011 graduate of the Salon Professional Academy in Kokomo. She is currently employed as an esthetician at Woodhouse Day Spa in Fort Wayne. Ryan is the son of Ron and Donna Sharp, Elkhart. He is a 2008 graduate of Jimtown High School and a 2012 graduate of Ivy Tech State College in South Bend. He is currently employed as an apprentice at Wagner-Meinert, Inc. in Fort Wayne. The couple plans to wed Aug. 31 in Fort Wayne. what this means is the possibility of losing some of the life-sustaining services people of all ages depend on such as food, transportation, nutrition, and resources,” she said. We depend on donations to continue programs and services that reach more than 8,000 Wabash County seniors each year,” added Ferry. “Our senior population is growing, which means donations are needed more than ever.

The Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) offers $2.5 million in tax credits annually for distribution by not-for-profit corporations. Organizations use NAP tax credits as an incentive to help them leverage more contributions from individuals and businesses for certain neighborhood-based programs and projects. Eligible projects include affordable housing, counseling, child-care, educational assistance, emergency assistance, job training, medical care, recreational facilities, downtown rehabilitation and neighborhood commercial revitalization. All projects must benefit economically disadvantaged areas and/or persons. The NAP program follows the state fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. The maximum tax credit award per organization per fiscal year is $40,000.00. Tax credits are distributed to donors at 50 percent of the contribution amount and are subtracted from a donor’s state income tax liability. Indiana Code 63.1-9 established the NAP program All activities and services of this program must be provided without regard to race, age, color, religion, sex, disability, nationality, ancestry nor status as a Veteran.

Local man captures world record snapping turtle... continued from front page

amphibians) have come to take a look.” After the excitement dies down, Bill will release the turtle back to the lake. Right now he keeps him in his own habitat pool. Bill caught 25 turtles that day, and several more since then. He goes hunting every other weekend and continues to search for large turtles. Bill captures turtles every summer and gives them away for their meat. He only keeps the larger, older turtles that are likely to die soon and releases the rest to keep growing.

“A lot of old timers love it. You can’t compare to it chicken. It’s got its own special taste,” Bill said. He gives the turtles to older people who can no longer trap them on their own. Bill calls turtle meat a delicacy, and says it can be pressure cooked, fried, made into gravy or baked. Bill does not worry about killing too many turtles. He releases a lot of them, but he also knows there’s plenty left in the water. “Those lakes are full of turtles. There are more turtles than

people realize. The big snappers stay out of sight in the murky waters,” Bill said. Adult snapping turtles have no predators other than humans. Bill, an avid hunter and outdoorsman, has been trapping turtles for over 30 years. After hearing the story of the beast, Bill and his father designed their own turtle trap, and Bill still uses the same design today. “We build them ourselves. It’s made out of horse fence, and its three feet wide, five feet long, and two feet deep. I

have wood runners in it to slide them up into the boat,” Bill said. Bill builds the traps to Indiana regulation, which says they must be sticking out of the water to keep the turtles from drowning. Bills says his son Canaan will continue trapping turtles with him, and he feels it’s important to teach his son how to hunt, trap and be a true outdoorsman. Bill grew up hunting with his father. “I was raised hunting wild game and eating it. My dad hunted small game for food

around here,” Bill said, but he became interested in big game. “When we sold furs, I’d always hear stories about bear hunts, and I thought some day that would be me,” he said. Bill hunts all year around, reserving the summer for just turtles. “This time of year, there is nothing for us to hunt other than turtles,” he said. Part of the appeal is they are similar to alligator when it comes to trapping. Bill enjoys traveling to Florida to gator hunt. His favorite animal to

hunt is the Alaskan Brown Bear. Bill is working towards the Grand Slam, which is accomplished after killing 31 big game species.

“That’s what I’m working towards. I have the sheep yet to kill, and I haven’t killed a moose yet, but nearly everything else,” Bill said.

Agro Chem, Inc.... continued from front page In 1994, Ernie purchased Gary’s shares of the business and a year later opened a second Agro Chem location in Wilmington, Ohio, to meet the need of a growing customer base outside of Indiana. In 2003, Agro Chem, Inc. had expanded beyond the capacity of their original location and moved the business to a vacant retail facility located closer to town on SR 15. Ernie retired from Agro

Chem in 2009; however Brian, Brad and Mark Peas continue to manage the daily operations of Agro Chem, Inc. in Wabash and Wilmington. Agro Chem’s original business plan was the sale of agricultural chemicals and spray equipment. In the mid 1980s, Agro Chem discontinued selling chemicals and began exclusively selling application equipment that was manufactured inhouse at their facility.

Today, Agro Chem only manufactures a small quantity of spray equipment at Wabash, rather their primary business focus is the distribution of various types of agricultural equipment manufactured by other companies. Their main lines of equipment include: anhydrous ammonia toolbars, liquid applicators, pull-type sprayers, agricultural tanks (poly, stainless steel and fiberglass), dry fertilizer and lime

Chip seal operations to take place on SR 124, SR 18, SR 218, SR 13, SR 205 and SR 5

FORT WAYNE— The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces pavement preservation projects are scheduled for the southwest and central sections of the INDOT Fort Wayne District beginning Aug. 1. Chip seal operations are scheduled to begin Aug. 1 along SR 124, between SR 15 and SR 9 in Wabash and Huntington Counties and on SR 18 between US 31 and SR 13 in Miami and Grant Counties. Beginning the week of Aug. 5, chip seal operations will continue on the above-listed roads as needed, after which operations will move to the following state roads: • SR 218 in Miami County, between US 31 and SR 19 •SR 13 in Wabash/Kosciusko Counties, between SR 114 and SR 14 • SR 205 in Whitley County, between SR 5 and the town of

Churubusco • SR 5 in Huntington and Whitley Counties, between US 24 and SR 14 During these operations, traffic will be reduced to one lane, controlled by flaggers, as INDOT forces perform the chip seal operation to maintain the road surface. Crews will be present during daytime hours, and a reduced speed limit of 45 mph will be in effect. Please note: this project is dependent on dry weather, and may be delayed if conditions aren’t adequate. The chip seal process consists of distributing a liquid asphalt emulsion on the roadway and covering the liquid asphalt with crushed stone to provide a new wearing surface. Once the asphalt has cured, any excess chips left on the roadway are swept from the surface. Chip sealing extends the life of a roadway by protecting it from moisture,

ultraviolet degradation and any other damaging exposures. In addition to sealing the pavement, chip seal applications reestablish surface friction—improving safety for the motoring public. Of the pavement preservation methods employed by the state, chip sealing is perhaps the most cost effective. Studies show that every dollar invested in chip seal operations saves six to 14 dollars in future roadway costs. Drivers should exercise caution in this area during the project. Loose stone will be present on the roadway during the initial cure of the asphalt, and can damage windshields and paint on vehicles that may be following each other too closely. It is recommended, when traveling on a recently chip sealed road, that drivers slow down and allow additional space between vehicles.

spreaders and tile plows. In addition to their equipment distribution, Agro Chem has an electronics department specializing in agricultural equipment for automatic steering, spray controllers, shut off for spray booms, and row shut off for planters. Although Agro Chem Inc. was founded as a source for agricultural spray equipment, as the needs of customers changed, Agro Chem continues to add lines of equipment to help their customers perform efficiently and innovatively. Agro Chem has found a successful niche selling many different product lines and enjoys a top five national sales ranking with many of the companies in which they represent. Between the Wilmington, Ohio and Wabash offices, Agro Chem, Inc. employs 33 individuals. Agro Chem has a traveling sales force calling on customers in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. In addition, Agro Chem, Inc. has benefited from sales throughout the United States and internationally through their retail website. “Agro Chem’s roots were planted in Wabash, not only

because of Wabash’s rural and agricultural advantages, but also because of the family and Christian values respected by the community and important to the company’s founder, owners and employees,” shared Ernie Peas. “Agro Chem, Inc. has been blessed by their employees and customers and looks forward to continued growth and success in Wabash for many years to come.” Agro Chem will be honored at the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce 72nd Annual Dinner meeting to be held Thursday, Oct. 10. The event is open to the public. Tickets will be available in September. This year’s Premier Event Sponsors to-date are: Beacon Credit Union, First Farmers Bank & Trust, Beauchamp & McSpadden.

Thomas Grier, a senior at Wabash High School and a member of Wabash VOICE Program, was the only student selected and given a scholarship to represent Wabash County at the Indiana Teen Institute (ITI) Summer Camp in Vincennes. The camp was held at Vincennes University from July 22-25. In addition to learning great leadership skills, the

camp also focused on the VOICE message, teens against the tobacco companies’ strategy to sway teens to start tobacco use. VOICE is a youth led movement at Wabash High School that fights against the lies and manipulative tactics of Big Tobacco companies. ITI summer leadership programs provide a dynamic and fun way for participants to learn new

skills, meet new friends, and become motivated to create positive changes in Indiana schools and communities. A combination of hands-on workshops, team building initiatives, recreational activities, plenary sessions and small group discussions synergize the p r o c e s s . Participants worked with ITI’s experienced facilitation team to learn how to more effectively lead and work together to promote civic engagement and voluntarism. Each day at ITI, there was time for team action planning, personal leadership reflection, networking, knowledge and skill building, social interaction, and a whole lot of fun. ITI’s award winning leadership camps are designed for highly motivated, active participants who have exhibited strong leadership potential. Thomas shared, “One of our guest speakers was La Tanisha Wright, a former employee of RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. She worked in the marketing department and she shared some of her personal knowledge of the company. We also had the comedian Kevin Wanzer, who taught us his acronym of aloha: attitude, love, overcoming obstacles, and ha (humor), are all needed to live a good life.” Thomas

THOMAS GRIER was the only student from Wabash County to be selected to attend the Indiana Teen Institute Summer Camp in Vincennes.

American Red Cross urges community to donate blood this summer

Of the 2,250 hours of summer, countless are spent vacationing, gardening or just enjoying time in the sun. By setting aside just one of those hours to donate blood through the American Red Cross, you can help save the lives of up to three people and give them the gift of summertime, too. “We’re asking you to set aside one hour of your summer to

give blood and help those in need,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the IndianaOhio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “Every two seconds someone needs a blood transfusion in the United State. We need everyone who is eligible to donate to make an appointment to give.” The need for blood often increases during the summer when

vacation travel and activities increase the chance of serious accidents, which may require lifesaving or sustaining care. At the same time, the blood supply can dwindle as donors become busy with summertime fun and overlook giving blood. While all blood types are needed, Type O is in highest demand because it’s the only type that be transfused to patients

in other blood groups such as A, B and AB. Hospitals also use Type O-negative blood in most emergency trauma cases when a patient’s blood type isn’t known. The Red Cross is encouraging Type O donors to schedule and keep appointments, or to optimize their donation by making a double red cell donation. Donors who meet certain criteria may be eligible to safely donate two units of red cells through the automated donation process. “Depending on your schedule, a double red cell donation may be ideal for you since you can give twice as much in just one visit,” said Whitman. “Whatever your blood type, however you give, someone needs you.” U p c o m i n g American Red Cross blood drives in the area: Tuesday, Aug. 20, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in the Activity Center, located at 110 N. Cass St. in Wabash. Thursday, Aug. 22, from 1-7 p.m. at Urbana Community Center in the Fellowship Hall, located at 16 E. Half St. in

Urbana. This blood drive, held In Memory

Wabash County roads, bridges and highways will benefit from a $1,573,158 funding increase over the next two years, said State Sen. Jim Banks (R-Columbia City). During the 2013 legislative session, the General Assembly passed the 2014-2015 state budget, which increased transportation funding by $210

million per year. This includes $100 million for local units each year. In total, the Wabash County region is slated to receive an estimated $6,222,263 in road funding over the next two years, which represents a $1,573,158 increase from its current funding level. It will be appropriated

among local government units as follows: -Wabash County G o v e r n m e n t : $5,002,834 -La Fontaine: $57,529 - Lagro: $27,285 -North Manchester: $401,852 - Roann: $31,494 - Wabash: $701,269 “Reliable roads and infrastructure are essential to a strong

economy,” Banks said. “This allows us to transport goods and services more easily, giving companies another reason to invest in our area. But beyond that, it creates a more cohesive community, connecting our families to the people and places that matter to them.”

Get rewarded for catching black bass in select rivers Catching black bass makes for a great recreation but now it can line your wallet, provided you fish — and catch — in the right spots. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is tagging 500 legal-sized black bass on three rivers in central and northern Indiana as part of a new research project. “Black bass” includes largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass. Anglers who catch a tagged bass can earn gift cards to Bass Pro Shop for $5, $10 or $25 by reporting their catches and returning tags to DNR researchers. DNR biologists are tagging black bass in the West Fork White River (Madison, Hamilton and Marion counties), Eel River (Wabash, Miami and

Cass counties), and St. Joseph River (St. Joseph and Elkhart counties) during late summer and fall. Bass will be tagged with a jaw tag stamped with a DNR phone number and serial number. When an angler catches a fish, they will need to remove the tag and then they can either release or harvest the fish. Tags must be returned to the DNR to receive a reward but tagged bass do not have to be kept to receive a reward. To report tagged

catches, anglers must call the phone number listed on the tag 812-287-8300 and provide the following information: -tag number -whether the fish was kept or released -date of catch -total length of fish -approximate location of catch “The research project will help biologists learn more about angler catch rates and fish movement in these rivers,” said DNR fisheries research biologist Sandy Clark-Kolaks.

“Information gained will help us better manage these species.” The project is a partnership of the DNR and various other conservation organizations, including the Indiana Wildlife Federation, Reel Women-Reel Men of Indianapolis, Indy Flycasters, St. Joseph River Valley Fly Fishers, Indiana Smallmouth Alliance and Manchester College, each of which is providing administrative and financial assistance.

THE WABASH RIVER CLEANUP in Lagro was a huge success. Three teams led by Kristie Bone, Justin Gillespie and Clyde Rife represented Lagro. The volunteers were Matthew Davis, Elva Davidson, Kelly Davidson, Billy Davidson, Harley Davidson, Brionna Lee, Zachary Lee, Coty Waldron, Chase Waldron, Dayon Waldron, Scott Siders, Andrea Airgood, Devon Bechtold, Ryan Chapman, Wes Cooper, Ron Eads, Josh Gaylord, Sara Gaylord, Beth Gillespie, Ed Gillespie, Eric Lundmark, Fred Parsons, Amanda Parsons, Don Sears, Rebecca Shafer, Tom Shear, Becky Simons, Jackson Simons, Rachelle Snead, Tim Stiglich, Tyler Temple, Laura Yazman, Keilah Green, Amanda Wiley, Dawn Bakehorn, Kirk Bakehorn, Gary Knable, Gary Knable II, Tonya Colwell, Mark Smith, Vicky Clark, Jess Dyer, Doug Weitzel, Claudia Weitzel, Lee Necessary, Jeff Ulshafer, Colleen Ulshafer, Sheryl Ulshafer, Jamie Miller, Shelly Miller, Megan Miller and Rick Townsend. These volunteers covered an area from Beldon Bridge to the end of Basin Street near Christman Creek. There were stories of people falling in the river several times, flying fish were everywhere, even a large bass jumping in one of the boats. Items found in the river included tires, vehicle frames, lots of pipe, metal chairs, small engines, pop cans, glass bottles and even a kitchen sink. Many of the volunteers accredited some of the debris to the floods early this spring. In total there where 11 boat loads cleaned out of the river. A big thank you goes out to Ron Eads, Eads Excavating and Ken Combs, Troy Stout and Trent Boggs, with Northside Wrecker for helping our local teams pull farm

machinery from the river and haul trash. Every volunteer was exhausted when it was over, however, they all said they had a great time and would be in the river next year on cleanup day. It is truly a blessing to have such wonderful neighbors and they should know their hard work is appreciated. THE LAGRO FAIR BOARD $250.00 S c h o l a r s h i p Applications are available for pick up at the Community B u i l d i n g . Applications need to be submitted by Oct. 1. You must be a resident of Lagro Township, have attended MSD of Wabash County or Wabash City School, be accepted at a two or four-year college or university, and provide one letter of recommendation from someone other than a parent/relative. THE AMERICAN LEGION riders will be meeting at Scotty’s Bar in Wabash at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10 for the Shop with a Cop Ride. Just a reminder that there will be a Red Cross Blood Drive Saturday, Aug. 10 at Brandt’s Harley Davidson. CORRECTION TO A M E R I C A N LEGION DATES: Sunday, Aug. 18 is Members Only meeting at the American Legion. The Legion will be open to the public from 12—6 p.m. on the first and fourth Sundays each month. I am very sorry for any confusion or inconvenience caused by last week’s post. D O R A C H R I S T I A N CHURCH will be hosting Ladies Game Night on Aug. 12 at 6 p.m. Church member Troy Slagel is celebrating a birthday on Aug. 8, please be sure to wish him a happy birthday. On Aug. 17, 8 a.m.– 3 p.m., there will be a Ladies Aid Bake Sale and Neighborhood Garage Sale. Space is available to all community members. There will be a car wash in front of the church during the sale. Please call 260-782-2006 for additional details regarding either of these events. EACH WEEK I WILL BE GOING around Lagro and randomly selecting a person or family to be introduced in the “Meet Your

Neighbor” section of this column. This week I found a couple on their porch on Main Street. Joseph Hough and Mindi Hutchinson have lived in Lagro for approximately one year. Together, they have five children, Isaah Hough, Destinie H u t c h i n s o n , Merandah Evans, Tyler Baldacci and Markos Baldacci. Isaah was quick to let me know he will be 13 soon and Destinie will be celebrating her 14th birthday on Aug. 6. Happy birthday! Joseph works at Waldo’s Golf Course doing general maintenance. Both Joseph

and Mindi are fulltime students with associates degrees in their prospective fields. Joseph is majoring in business and Mindi is pursuing her BA in psychology. Joseph dreams of owning a small engine repair business and Mindi is hoping to have a career in child psychology. Education is very important to both of them and they believe that by continuing their education they are not only telling the children to do well in school, but they are showing them that an education makes a difference. It must be working, because

Destinie and Merandah are both 21st Century Scholars. Merandah graduated from Northfield in June and is attending college in Manchester this year, her goal is to become an OBGYN. Mindi and Joseph are currently renting

their house while they complete improvements to their home next door. On Aug. 17, they plan on getting married by the river, a special place to Mindi, as she spent a great deal of time with friends at the river when she was young.

Spartan goalkeeper enjoys busy lifestyle by Gary Andrews The words “down time” don’t exist in Emily Willmann’s vocabulary. The Manchester University rising junior likes to stay busy whenever she can. This summer is a good example, as she is a lifeguard at a pool near her home in Montpelier, while holding down a job at a factory and also finding time to help

the Blackford High School girls’ soccer coaching staff by working with the goalkeepers. “I always have to be doing something,” she said with a laugh. “If I’m not busy, I’m going stir crazy sitting around.” So, it would seem as no surprise that she has taken on a role as a two-sport studentathlete for the Spartans with much

success. Willmann enters the fall as a two-time allHeartland Collegiate Athletic Conference honoree in women’s soccer which includes a first team selection last season, while her efforts on the Spartan softball diamond haven’t been overlooked, either, as she’s been the starting shortstop in each of the last two seasons. “I’ve been around

sports my whole life,” she said of her twosport status at MU. “Soccer starts from age five on up where I live, and I was a foursport athlete in high school, so why should college be different. It’s what I’m used to. “I’ve found it helps me stayed focused in the classroom, too,” she added. “It makes me stick to a schedule and get things accomplished (on time), so I

can have the opportunity to compete and train at the level I want to.” Tracy Cromer and Andy Stout, Willmann’s two head coaches, couldn’t be happier that she has found a balance to work things out academically and at both venues. “Her athleticism was a big draw when our staff watched her play in high school,”

Bremer/Sheridan join MU coaching staff by Gary Andrews M a n c h e s t e r University head track and field coach Brian Cashdollar and head women’s soccer coach Andy Stout announced that Jessica Bremer and David Sheridan have joined the Spartans’ athletics’ staff. Bremer will be an assistant for the Spartan track and field program, while Sheridan will assist with the MU women’s soccer program.

Bremer, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in exercise and sports sciences from Manchester University in May 2011, returns to her alma mater after serving as a graduate assistant for DePauw University’s cross country and track and field teams from 2011-13. She also has coaching experience from being an intern for the Huntington University cross country program

in 2009 and a counselor for the Yoder-Begley and Three Rivers distance camps and DePauw’s cross country mini-camp from 2088-11 and in 2012. Sheridan, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in graphic design from Mount Ida (Mass.) College’s Chamberlyn School of Design, held previous positions as a women’s team volunteer assistant at NCAA Division I American University, as a girls

team assistant at Washington and Lee (Va.) and Newton South (Mass.) High Schools and as a coach for various club and youth teams in Texas and Virginia. He also has extensive playing experience having held guide then Mount Ida Junior College to the National Junior College Athletic Association

Division I national tournament and San Antonio College of Texas’ club team to the semifinals of the National Intramural/Recreationa l Sports Association tourney as well as competing overseas in the Irish and Welsh Premier Divisions and Scottish First Division.

The ladies champion was JoDee Dale, firing a 188. Sandi Kastner was low net winner with a 158. Winners of the Pot Luck scramble Sunday were Daryl

Smith, Earl Harrell, Cheryl Chopson and Steve Shoptaw with a 36. Dan Bickel, Brad Crawford, Cecilia Smith and Debbie Reahard were second with a 36.

current thoughts fixed directly on soccer, she knows what she enjoys the most about her time in net. “The big saves are the best,” she said. “It’s awesome having an opposing striker hammer a shot at you (that nobody thinks you will get to) and then you get a piece of it and deflect it away. Some of those chances help win matches, which is what I want to help our team do.” While she and her Black and Gold teammates hope the 2013 soccer season lasts a while, there are always opportunities ahead for Willmann. “I usually take a few days after a season ends to step away (from sports), but then it’s on to something else,” she said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Back From Vacation

Etna Acres crowns club champions by Gary Andrews Etna Acres Golf Course held their club championship on Aug. 3 and 4. Devin Dale won the men’s title, firing a 72 and 78 for a twoday total of 150. Zac Tackett was a close second with a 156. Winning low net was Jeff Bosler with a 146. Tom Wright was second with a 150. Mike Goetz is the senior champion with a 162. Todd Rebholz was on Goetz heels with a 163. Howard Nickel was first in low net with a 137. Larry Wright was second with a 149. Dan Bickel won the super senior division with a 166. Larry Garrett was second with a 182. Low net winner was Larry Miller with a 144.

Stout said. “She is a great presence in the back, too. Emily isn’t afraid to get after the defenders in front of her and get them lined up and is also willing to yell out to the offense when she sees things. She’s the type of person you want on the field at all times due to her leadership capabilities.” “We knew immediately that she would be a strong shortstop candidate coming in,” Cromer added. “Her athleticism was a big bonus for us as well as it helps on defense and at the plate. I really like the way she handles working with both sports, too. She gives each of them her due diligence when they are in season which we both appreciate.” With Willmann’s

“We experienced multiple outbreaks of chickenpox around that state during the last school year,” said Indiana State Department of Health Chief Medical Officer Joan Duwve, M.D. “This new requirement will help stop the spread of this preventable disease and keep kids healthy and in school.” Although not required for school entry, Dr. Duwve recommends that students also receive the following immunizations if they haven’t already: *Two doses of Hepatitis A vaccine. *Flu vaccine every year. *Human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, 3dose series for all adolescents. *Booster dose of meningococcal conjugate (meningitis) vaccine for adolescents ages 16-18. The requirements and recommendations are in alignment with

the routine vaccination schedules from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). For a complete listing of all recommended immunizations, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/easyto-read/index.html. Indiana school immunization requirements are posted on the Indiana State Department of Health’s website at www.state.in.us/isdh/1 7094.htm. Hoosiers are encouraged to check their children’s vaccination records on www.MyVaxIndiana.in. gov, a user-friendly website from the Indiana State Department of Health that provides Hoosiers direct access to their immunization records from any computer through the use of a PIN. Many Hoosiers have already utilized this resource. Since

MyVaxIndiana was launched in July 2012, nearly 30,000 PINs have been assigned and 4,619 unique records have been accessed from the site. PINs can be obtained from health care providers and used to log in to the secure website. Users can then download, print or fax official records. Each record also displays the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommended immunization schedule. “The goal of the MyVaxIndiana site is to make it easier for all Hoosiers to access their immunization records,” said Dr. Duwve. “Parents can check what immunizations their child has already

received and find out what may still be needed, as well as print, fax or email an official copy of the record. Vaccinations reduce the spread of disease and help to keep all of us healthy.” To learn more about MyVaxIndiana, visit www.MyVaxIndiana.in. gov For more information about school immunization requirements, visit the Indiana State Department of Health’s website at www.StateHealth.in.go v.

Jeff Gordon strikes it big for kids with cancer at Riley Hospital

INDIANAPOLIS— Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation celebrated the “Hats Off To Hope” Dr. Seuss-themed bowling tournament to benefit Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health. Funds raised from this year’s event fulfilled the $1.5 million commitment to Riley Hospital and the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation Pediatric Cancer Research Lab. Sports-loving teenagers Dylan Shumaker, Brock Meister and Seth Young shared their cancer battle with four-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Jeff Gordon at the 12th annual Jeff Gordon Bowling Event benefiting Riley Hospital.

They were among six Riley Hospital families invited to bowl at the “Hats Off to Hope” Dr. Seuss-themed event. “I am so proud of the work that is being done at Riley Hospital. Research remains our top priority to ensure one day we reach the day when no child will face the uncertainty of cancer,” said Gordon. The event was overflowing with laughter, a live band, heaving team lanes, cancer survivors along with their families, VIP guests and an abundance of generous supporters of Riley Hospital and the Jeff Gordon C h i l d r e n ’ s Foundation. “Jeff recognizes the importance of pediatric cancer research and for 12 years has

supported cancer research and clinical care at Riley Hospital for Children,” said Kevin O’Keefe, president and CEO, Riley C h i l d r e n ’ s Foundation. “Every year 250 children are diagnosed with cancer in Indiana. Riley treats 85 percent of those cases. One day, thanks to Jeff and other donors’ generous support and vision, research will find the treatments and cures to secure all these children’s future.” Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation celebrated a total of $3.5 million in gifts and pledges to Riley C h i l d r e n ’ s Foundation. Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation

was established as a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization in 1999 by the four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion. The Foundation supports children battling pediatric cancer by funding programs that improve patients’

quality of life, treatment programs that increase survivorship and pediatric medical research dedicated to finding a cure. For more information, visit www.jeffgordonchildrensfoundation.o rg

Local author Karla Akins has signed a contract with Pelican Book Group for her debut inspirational novel, “The Pastor’s Wife Wears Biker Boots.” The book is slated for release Aug. 8, and will be available on amazon.com and bookstores in both digital and hard copy. Pre-orders will ship upon book’s release. Akins is a pastor’s wife who rides her own motorcycle, which is what spurred the idea for the contemporary novel. Her husband is Pastor Eddie Akins of Christian Fellowship Church, North Manchester. The couple has been in ministry together for more than 32 years.

In the book, when pastor’s wife, Kirstie Donovan, hops on the back of a bright pink motorcycle, tongues start to wag at the conservative, centuryold First Independent Christian Community Church of Eels Falls. Kirstie loves roaring down a road less traveled by most women over forty, but she’s not just riding her bike for the fun of it. Kirstie has a ministry. However, certain church members have secrets to hide, and when God uses Kirstie’s ministry to fill the pews with leather-clad, tattooed bikers, those secrets could be exposed, and some will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Kirstie and her motorcycle “gang”—

two church matrons and a mouthy, gumsmacking non-church m e m b e r — d i s c ove r that road-toughened bikers are quite capable of ministering to others, and faith is fortified in the most unexpected ways. The book includes a teen with autism. Akins has twin boys with autism. It also addresses the issues of Alzheimer’s. “When I wrote the book, I didn’t know that my mother-in-law would acquire Alzheimer’s and come to live with us. Other things happen in the book that also came to pass. It’s amazing to me how God prepared my heart for these things before they happened. But I’m grateful,” Akins says.

“I think there are several things in the book that people will identify with. There’s a chapter devoted to the Patriot Guard and a fallen soldier returning home from A f g h a n i s t a n . Struggling to raise kids in a modern world when temptation is everywhere is also addressed, and the pressures of pastoring a church. But the emotions and experiences are universal because they’re human,” she says. A video trailer of the book is available on the author’s website at KarlaAkins.com. To launch the book, a ladies’ retreat will be held on Aug. 23-25 at Christian Fellowship Church. Details of the retreat and registration forms are on the author’s website. All women are welcome to attend whether they ride a motorcycle or not. The retreat’s theme is “Kickstands Up!” and will feature guest speaker, Shelley Wilburn. A book signing party will be held Aug. 24, 2– 4 p.m. at the church. The public is invited and there is no fee for attending. Books will be available for sale at the party. A Motorcycle Sunday Service will be held on Aug. 25. Sunday School is at 9 a.m. and the church service begins at 10 a.m. Following the service, there will be a group ride for lunch.

REPRESENTATIVES OF LOUIS DREYFUS COMMODITIES gathered with area fire department representatives and Kosciusko Leadership Academy team members recently to present a $20,000 donation to the firefighter’s communication fund. Pictured, from left, are: Mickey Scott, SyracuseTurkey Creek Township Fire Department; Mitch Titus, Winona Lake Fire Department; Kevin McSherry, president, Kosciusko County Fire Association and KLA team member; Jason McSherry, Burket Fire Department and KLA team member; Niki Miller, office administrator, Louis Dreyfus Commodities; Jeremy Mullins, commercial manager, Louis Dreyfus Commodities; Jim Griest, KLA team member; Kurt Anderson, SHE manager, Louis Dreyfus Commodities; Mike Brubaker, Warsaw Fire Department; Mike Yazel, Mentone Fire Department; David Selig, plant manager, Louis Dreyfus Commodities; and Bob Haines, Claypool Fire Department. (Photo provided)

because of the many lakes, made radio communication unreliable. The need to establish a better countywide communication system for the firefighters was identified in a 2012 Kosciusko Leadership Academy White Paper project. The KLA team will continue to move the project forward. Kosciusko County Fire Association is applying for a large federal grant to acquire funds for transmitters and receivers for use throughout the county. The federal grant requires a local match. Additionally, emergency responders have identified the need to build more communication towers, an expense federal grant dollars will not cover. KCFA and KCCF are seeking to raise $200,000 toward the local match and the amount needed to build additional communication towers. The recent donation from Louis Dreyfus covers 10 percent of the goal. Louis Dreyfus Commodities is home to the world’s largest fully integrated soybean processing and biodiesel plant. The plant uses soybeans, purchased from farmers and elevators throughout the Midwest region, to make not only biodiesel but also soybean meal and soy hull pellets, used as feed sources in the livestock industry.
