Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Local mother shares son’s story of autism to raise funds for service dog New program utilizes Internet, social networking to help raise funds for families.

by Danielle Swan In early June, a new website, WeCare Card, went live with a group of 10 campaigns as part of it’s pilot launch. The purpose of the website is to give friends, family and the public a secure and simple way to donate funds to a person or family with a specific need. One hundred percent of those funds are then made available to the recipient via check or direct deposit. While selecting 10 campaigns for the pilot launch, Stephanie Bekel, chief administrative executive, thought of an eight-year-old autistic boy, Tyler, and his mother, Jen Wells of Urbana. “Jen was my hairdresser and we always talked about Tyler,” Bekel said. “She was always talking about the therapies that she wished she could get him into, and so when this started, my first thought was ‘I wonder if she would be interested in taking part in this program because I would love to see him get the therapies that he needs.” Tyler was born on his due date, Oct. 28, 2003, as a 6 pound 14 ounce healthy baby boy. There were no complications. For months, he thrived –

learning new things and growing. He made all of his milestones until 18 months old, when he suddenly reverted to an earlier stage and seemed locked in time. “When he developed autism, he was back to an infant,” Wells said. “He lost all eye contact and any vocabulary that he had learned.” At that point, Tyler also began developing repetitive, uncontrollable actions called “stems.” Tyler’s stems included flapping his arms, waving his fingers in front of his face, loud bursts of noise and some rocking. He also became prone to fits, or “meltdowns,” which could last anywhere from a few minutes to hours. Tyler’s pediatrician was 99.9 percent sure that Tyler was suffering from autism, but Wells was unsatisfied with that diagnosis. “I just went above everything and took him to Riley and they did diagnose him with normal autism spectrum,” she said. Tyler’s autism is considered within the “moderate” category. Over the coming years, Wells would try every type of treatment and therapy she could get her hands on. She tried speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, different diets and even horse therapy. She enrolled Tyler in WabashMiami Area Program at age two, which he still attends. Wells

says that Tyler’s current vocabulary is comparable to a twoyear-old. “He makes progress all the time with his speech. He learns new things every day. It’s very slow progress, but any progress is good progress. But also, with that progress, as he is getting older, he is developing new challenges that we have to overcome,” she said. The most prominent and concerning challenge at this point is Tyler’s wandering. Due to Tyler’s lack of fear, he is prone to dangerous situations. “Wherever we’re at – at the lake, in stores – it’s a problem. He darts out of stores into parking lots; he

doesn’t have any concept of traffic. I reach down to get a can of green beans at the store and I stand up and he is three aisles over.” Tyler’s tendency to wander exceeds any mother’s ability to be vigilant, and the danger is compounded by the fact that he appears to be a normal eight-year-old boy. Most drivers would assume that an eight-year-old child would stop before running in front of their car. Most people would not see any reason to assist or report an eight-year-old unattended out for a walk. “It scares me because he has no fear (continued on page 6)

Wabash County possibly transforming to Vote Center county A study committee has been formed to look into the feasibility of transforming Wabash County from the traditional precinct based voting to a Vote Center County. Vote Centers allow voters of the county the option to vote at any vote center location, unhindered by their specific home address and former polling place, thereby making voting a much more convenient process. Vote centers are connected by computer systems to the countywide voter registration list. When a voter casts a ballot at a center, he or she is “flagged” in the electronic list as having voted, thereby ensuring that he or she cannot repeat the process at another polling place. Indiana lawmakers passed legislation effective July 1, 2011, that allows each individual county in the State to choose whether or not they want to switch to Vote Centers. In March of this year County Clerk Elaine Martin made contact with the Wabash County Commissioners, the Wabash County Council, as well as the Democrat and Republican party chairs requesting their input in creating the Study Committee. After suggestions, the volunteer Study Committee was formed. The Study Committee consists of Barry Conrad, Marcia Short, Dennis Horn, Ann Gillespie, James Smith, Barry Eppley, and Diane Haupert. The Study Committee has met five times in the

months of May, June & July and is in the process of gathering information on technology, equipment, electronic poll books, locations, early voting procedures, satellite voting areas, educating and preparing the voters of Wabash County of the process; and costs analysis in comparison to current election costs. It is anticipated that Vote Centers will result in a cost savings to the county of Wabash and the municipalities during city and town elections. The Study

Committee is preparing to hold public meetings to present some details, and at some point a proposal to the general public. The Committee is very interested in hearing from the public at these meetings to garner any interest or objection to Wabash County switching to a Vote Center county. After all public hearings, the Study Committee may then revise the Plan and make a recommendation to the threemember Wabash County Election Board. The decision to transform Wabash

County from precinct based voting to Vote Center voting must be a unanimous decision by the County Election Board. If the public has any questions or comments on the issue of Vote Centers, they are encouraged to contact anyone on the Study Committee individually, or if they prefer, they may direct their questions and comments to Elaine Martin in the Clerk’s office at 260-563-0661 ext. 230, who will pass them on to the Study Committee at the next meeting.

Crop Insurance reminders for those affected by aflatoxin

Weather conditions have made the fungus aflatoxin a threat to this year’s corn crop. Brian D. Frieden, Director of USDA’s Risk Management Agency’s Springfield Regional Office, offers reminders for producers with crop insurance. If you think your corn has aflatoxin, notify your crop insurance agent before you harvest the grain, put the grain in storage; or deliver it for sale. Your insurance provider will take samples for testing and submit them to an approved testing facility. Depending on the aflatoxin level present, the corn price may be discounted or, in rare

cases, the grain will need to be destroyed. Aflatoxin levels can increase in storage. Therefore, losses are only insurable if the grain is tested at an approved testing facility before being moved into commercial or on-farm storage. A producer may also make arrangements with their insurance provider to leave representative

sample areas of the unharvested crop. The adjuster will take samples from these areas for aflatoxin testing. Producers cannot collect their own samples. Samples must be collected by their insurance provider or a disinterested third party, such as an approved elevator. A list of approved testing facilities can

be found on our webs i t e : rma.usda.gov/aboutrma/fields/il_rso/. Frieden urges all producers to contact their insurance agent with any questions concerning aflatoxin. Your crop insurance agent can provide you with additional information specific to your needs.

Local mother shares son’s story of autism... continued from front page of danger or strangers, he’s just so oblivious,” Wells said. She went on to discuss the fact that he lacks the communication skills that would assist other children in the event they became separated from their parent. Many times, when autistic children reach Tyler’s age, it becomes too dangerous and too difficult for parents to keep the child at home and the child is admitted to a residential facility, but this is not an option for Wells. In order to minimize the safety concerns for Tyler, her WeCare Card campaign was launched to raise money for an Autism service dog. “The dogs are trained to be an anchor for a wanderer. They are trained to stop at a road until I give them permission

to cross,” she explained. The dog would basically act as her extra set of hands and eyes when Wells has to turn her back for a moment. In addition to the anchoring effect, the Autism service dog has auxiliary benefits of being trained to calm the child during a meltdown and change their mind’s direction to control outbursts. “The dog can provide a calming comfort – something that I may not be able to do because autistic children don’t interact with normal social human interactions,” Wells said. She went on to say that having this tool to help calm Tyler in stressful situations would also give her peace of mind. “The dog can actually help him with socialization also because he doesn’t

feel inferior to this animal because it’s not judging him, it’s not talking to him, it’s not doing normal human things so he can actually socialize with it, which can bring him to socialize with other human beings,” she said. Wells has been researching various options for service dog training. The dogs can be trained by a facility and then purchased and picked up by their new owners, but Wells feels the better alternative is to obtain the dog as a puppy and allow it to train with Tyler as it grows. “The dog would bond with Tyler as a puppy instead of us going to a facility for two weeks and learning everything quickly and bringing the dog home to a new environment,” she explained. She wants

to be sure that the dog is comfortable with Tyler and also that Tyler is comfortable with the dog. Wells is still researching different trainers and options for obtaining the dog, but estimates that the cost could be anywhere from $5,000 to as much as $10,000. While it is a large investment, she is confident that this treatment option will work. The benefits could be huge, but at the very least it will help keep Tyler safe, which is why she is making it her top priority. Visit WeCareCard.com and click on “Discover Campaigns” to view Tyler’s story, Tyler’s Missing Puzzle Piece, as well as several other Wabash County residents with a need including a woman who suffered a brain aneurysm and a fami-

ly who lost a threemonth-old baby to SIDS. While at the site, visitors may donate, read updates and even leave messages of encouragement. The site accepts all major credit cards. At the conclusion of the pilot phase, anyone will be able to start their own campaign to raise funds for their need. Part of the concept of WeCare Card is for friends and family to repost their loved one’s story on their own social networking pages to give maximum exposure to the story and needs of the person. As of press time, Tyler’s campaign had raised just over $300 during the week it had been posted. “I really just want Tyler to achieve what he can and be as independent as possible,” Wells concluded.

Converse Economic Development Corp. wins grant from Indiana Landmarks I n d i a n a Landmarks recently awarded an Endangered Places grant to the Converse Economic Development Corp. The group will use the $1,675 matching grant to analyze the rehab costs and potential uses for the Converse Gym on Marion Street. Built in 1926, the Converse Gym served as the home stadium for the C o n v e r s e Bordermen and the legendary Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame player Monte Towe. Called the Bordermen because the town is located in both Grant and Miami counties, the

team name disappeared with school consolidation in 1959. The barrelroofed gym is still used for community events. I n d i a n a Landmarks makes Endangered Places matching grants throughout the state to nonprofit organizations for feasibility studies and other activities related to saving landmarks and strengthening preservation groups. The nonprofit preservation organization also awarded Endangered Places grants in July to organizations in Greensburg and Lawrence.

Dental decay is one of the most common disorders of the human body. Decay occurs when the outer layer of the tooth, known as enamel, is destroyed by acid. This process begins when sugar, saliva, and bacteria combine in the mouth and stick onto the teeth. Together, these materials are known as plaque. Plaque along with other debris is what is removed when teeth are brushed. If the plaque is not removed, the natural bacteria in the mouth begin to eat the sugar and produce acid as a byproduct. The acid can then begin to dissolve and destroy the tooth leading to a cavity. Cavities can be detected using a variety of different methods by your dentist. If the cavity is very large they can be seen solely by visualization. Likewise, dentists can use instruments to feel soft spots in the teeth where the decay process has begun. Regular X-rays are a vital tool that can help detect cavities that are located between teeth that otherwise could not be detected with visualization or tactile sensation. At Ladd Dental, we also use an instrument that utilizes fluorescent light to help detect increased amounts of bacteria that can indicate a cavity may be forming. Using a combination of all of these methods allows dentists to provide the best care for patients in treating dental decay.

VOICE students collected 3,846 cigarette butts in the downtown Wabash area. Kim shared that she quit smoking nearly 6 years ago. She recalls starting to smoke when she was very young. Her motivation to quit was having to watch her father suffer from tobacco related diseases and then passed away from Lung Cancer. When asked about how she was able to quit, she shared she quit cold turkey. Kim is now an advocate to her family about the dangers of smoking and encourages them to not use tobacco products. There is help for everyone to stop using tobacco by calling the state toll free number (1-800-QUIT-NOW) for free counseling. If interested in a local support group, call 274-2920 for information about the Wabash County YMCA Cessation program. VOICE is a Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition program. VOICE is always looking for additional members or adult ally’s to assist in speaking out against

tobacco companies’ efforts to influence youth to start using tobacco. We currently have VOICE groups in Wabash High School

and North Manchester Jr./Sr. High School. Please encourage your students to join VOICE and be a part of this

Bass & Bucks hosts another successful R100 archery shoot

BASS AND BUCKS held its annual Rhinehart R100 shoot on the weekend of Aug. 3. According to Sheila Butcher, nearly 600 people registered for the event, which included an African and North American side to the course. (photo by Danielle Swan) by Danielle Swan On the weekend of Aug. 3, and during the week preceding, over 600 archers and their families converged on Bass & Bucks for the R100 Shoot by Rinehart Targets. This traveling event will visit nearly 20 states during the season. Bass & Bucks has hosted the event for several years. The shoot consists of a 100-target 3-D archery course divided into a North American side and an African side. In addition to the archery course, attendees had the opportunity to participate in novelty games to win thousands of dollars worth of prizes. Door prizes and raffle prizes were distributed, and many vendors set up shop on the Bass & Bucks grounds. The grounds were filled with campers from Indiana and neighboring states and as far away as Maryland and Texas. Many archers make the trip to Bass and Bucks every year for this event. “This is their annual event,” said Sheila Butcher. “Some of the guys I won’t see them but one time a year. They come to this every year.” This year was a true family event with games, camping, Pizza Hut pizza and a fireworks display on Aug. 4. “It’s all about the

next generation – teaching archery to the next generation,” Butcher said. Butcher is happy to see that the Star Lodge, which was saved from the former Camp Kokiwanee, is seeing a lot of use. During the R100, it was used as an eating area and registration area. The Lodge has also held two bridal showers, a wedding, a DNR Hunter Education Class and firearms classes. “Just to be able to give it back to the community is the whole thing. Just to see it being used by all these groups – I’m just very thankful for that,” she said. Most archers shoot 50 targets one day and 50 targets the next day, which means many will spend at least one night in Wabash. “They are staying in the community. It brings people to use our hotels, our restaurants,” Butcher said. The R100 hosted by Bass & Bucks has continued to grow each year. “Six hundred people through the woods is a lot of people,” Butcher said. “More people tell more people. It will be interesting to see if we can beat this year.” For more information about Bass & Bucks and their special events, visit www.bassandbucks.c om or find them on Facebook.

A Monthly Guide To Managing Your Wealth From

A Trust That Doesn’t Save Taxes Living trusts are often used for estate-planning purposes. If you are considering setting one up, it’s important to understand how your taxes could be affected. Basic Plan The term “living trust” typically refers to a trust that is revocable, meaning that the person who creates it (the “grantor”) can terminate the trust at any time. Usually, the grantor is the lifetime beneficiary of the revocable trust and also its trustee or co-trustee. If desired, the grantor also may retain the power to change the terms of the trust. In many respects, then, placing the assets in the trust changes nothing: The grantor can take property out of the trust, control trust investment decisions, and end the trust arrangement at will.

to a revocable living trust doesn’t change anything for tax purposes either. The income of a revocable living trust is taxed directly to the grantor during the grantor’s lifetime. And the value of the trust assets must be included in the grantor’s gross estate. Thus, while there may be several advantages to creating a revocable living trust, saving taxes is not one of them. The benefits a revocable living trust can provide include: Asset management during any periods of disability; Asset management for beneficiaries after the grantor’s death; and, Privacy — trusts, unlike wills, are not public record.

NORSE LEFTY KEAFFABER NARROWS COLLEGE DECISION

By J.D. Sparks Northfield soon-to-be senior and ace southpaw pitcher Ryan Keaffaber has “pretty much” narrowed his college choices down to three: Purdue, Indiana University, and Indiana State. “Those are pretty much what I’ve narrowed it down to,” said Keaffaber, who posted a 16-0 pitching record during the 2012 season. “They have expressed the most interest in me and are about the distance away from home I’m looking for. They’re not too far away from home, but far enough where I can be myself.” Keaffaber said he expects to make a decision on where to go within a month or so. “I visited IU last week and I’m going to visit Purdue and ISU this week,” he said on Aug. 5. “It’s been both exciting and stressful making a decision on where to go for the next four years. “It’s just exciting to know that all those years working hard in the gym are going to pay off. And it’s all exciting because not a lot of kids get to follow their dream and continue on to the next level.” Overall, there is a pair of factors that will weight in on where he goes. “It boils down to where I fit in and what the pitching staff is like,” he said.

Keaffaber’s father, Randy, also pitched at the Division I level in college. “He’s been pretty much my best friend through this whole process,” Keaffaber said about his dad. “It’s been good to have his thoughts on everything. He knows what questions to ask and when to ask them when we visit colleges. He’s been through this before and it’s just been great having him here with me.” Keaffaber won all eight IHSAA tournament series games for the Norse en route to leading his squad to the 2A state title. He started the state championship game, where he pitched the complete seven innings and allowed two runs, one earned, in a 3-2 win over Evansville Mater Dei. “Winning a state title didn’t hurt my recruiting offers,” he told The Paper. “It really showed how competitive I am and it showed coaches just how talented our whole team is.” And he knew the scouts were watching him, too. “You just have to push that stuff to the back of your mind and go out there and pitch for your team and compete,” he said. “Sometimes you do get a little nervous, looking at all the people. You can’t let that bother you.” Keaffaber currently owns a 35-2 career record, 12 away

RYAN KEAFFABER FIRES A PITCH to a Madison-Grant batter at Chris Rood Field during the regional semifinal game. Keaffaber is currently in the process of visiting colleges and has narrowed his post-prep plan to Indiana University, Purdue University, or Indiana State University. His father and Northfield High School Assistant Baseball Coach Randy Keaffaber pitched for ISU during his college years. (photo by J.D. Sparks) from the Indiana state record, with a prep ERA right around 1.00. Looking ahead to the 2012 season, his numbers could get even better. “My velocity has gotten even better this summer (playing for a travel league),” he said. “I’ve also dropped my arm angle down more to get more range of motion to get it more through the zone. I’ve concentrated even more on mechanics to make sure I’m doing

everything right.” He was also a “Faces in the Crowd” feature for the July 23 edition of Sports Illustrated Magazine, which can be read at this wed address: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.c om/vault/article/magazine/MAG1202693/index.htm. But, for the next few months before basketball season, he gets to enjoy rest and relaxation. “It’s nice to have a season off before basketball,” he said. “Things have been busy.”

Budnik with a 49, Nina Smith shot a 58, Claire Barnett and Erin Working both shot 67, and Celina Carter added an 84. “We lost three seniors last year, so we are a very young team,” Manchester coach Pat Brandenburg said. “Jasmine jumped up from number five to number two. This is Nina’s first year, and she’s getting better. The other girls are younger, but are athletic and are getting better too.” Wabash will be at the Blackford Invitational this Thursday, while Manchester will be at the Fremont Invitational on Thursday. Both teams will compete in the Wabash County Invite on Saturday at Etna Acres Golf Course.

TED MCNABNEY, a 1950 graduate of Linlawn High School, arranged a European cruise for family members in celebration of his 80th birthday. Ted, who now lives in Argentina, was honored with a surprise birthday party while on board the Avalon MS Tranquility ship while on the May cruise. The cruise began in Amsterdam and floated down the Rhine, Main, and Danube Rivers. Places visited were: the German cities of Cologne, Rudesheim, Rhine Gorge, M i l t e n b e r g , W u r z b u r g , Nuremberg, and Regensburg; the Austrian cities of Salzburg, Melk, and Vienna; Bratislava in Slovakia, and Budapest, Hungary. The group toured many of the cities, saw castles, windmills, and cathedrals, shopped produce and flower markets and shops, tasted local foods, saw the oldest bridge in the world in Re g e n s b u r g , Germany, and the site of the filming of “The Sound of Music.” Pat McNabney said “In southern Germany, where the McNabney ancestors came from, the land is about like our area so that is probably why my ancestors German settled a mile north of Urbana. There is the same vegetation, creeks, crops of corn, wheat, hay, canola, and lilacs blooming. The weather is about the same as we have.” Pat concluded by saying “The trip was fun, interesting, and a once in a lifetime trip. On the boat was good food and entertainment. But as they say – ‘There’s no place like home.” NEWS ITEMS AND/OR PICTURES may be mailed to me at 1906N 100W, Wabash, or emailed to me at mamast1906@comcast.net.

farmers to meet farmland rental agreements if they suffer major losses of income. The possibility means tenants and landlords need to communicate with one another, and both parties need to review the terms of lease agreements. “The ability to meet rent payments will vary widely among tenants due to the differing financial impacts of the 2012 drought,” said Chris Hurt, Purdue Extension agricultural economist. Contributing factors include final crop yields, final grain prices, the amount of production that is forwardcontracted, level of crop insurance coverage, if any, whether there is live-

stock involved, and a producer’s financial strength heading into the 2012 drought. But regardless of financial circumstances, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Gerry Harrison said tenants and landlords are legally locked into lease agreements. “The law is clear on the duty to perform under a contract,” he said. “A cropland lease, oral or written, is a contract. “A tenant’s overall financial position will couple with the type of lease agreement to determine whether rent can be paid and what options tenants and landlords have. Common lease agreements include crop sharing,

straight cash rent or a variation of the two. “If it is a crop share lease, the landowner is in a similar position to the tenant,” Harrison said. “If the lease is a ‘flex’ lease, what is the flex provision? If the flex is based on crop yield, the lack of yield may remove any liability the tenant has, based on the flex provision. “If the flex lease is based on price for the crop, the tenant with a short crop may have a serious problem. “Under Indiana law, a landlord can terminate a lease with 10 days’ notice if a tenant doesn’t pay rent when due, unless both parties agree otherwise or if the tenant pays the rent in full within the notice period. “At the very least, some flexibility in non-payment of rent by the due date might be needed this year until a crop insurance payment or a loan becomes available to the tenant,” he said. Harrison has a free publication that provides an indepth look at the legalities of farmland leases in Indiana.

Her grandchildren are Mikell and Jennifer Flachman and Shane and Karen Flachman, Texas; Tabatha and Jimmy Stambaugh, Kokomo; Tom and Jen Coldiron, Michaelle and John Hughes, Monica Flachman and Isaac and Kelly Harp, Peru; Adam and Kristin Harp, Burket; and Robin and Matt Deetz, Martinsville. She was great-grandmother to 24 beautiful children. Also surviving is a sister, Peg and Dick Smith, Peru, and a brother, John and Norma Flohr, Logansport. Brother Larry Flohr preceded her in death in May, 2002. June was a thoughtful, kind-hearted person, doing whatever she could to address the needs of others. She delivered baskets and baskets of homemade cookies, pies, breads and jellies to her neighbors. As an excellent cook, she was sometimes known as “Aunt Betty Crocker” to her many nieces and nephews. She never lacked for “guinea pigs” to taste a new-tried recipe. Full of spunk and with a mischievous sense of humor, she could pull off some fantastic April Fools’ jokes. She built snowmen (and women), planted flowers in Darrell’s old work boots and dressed up in surprising Halloween costumes. Not one to sit still, she learned and loved the art of hand-quilting and created over fifty quilts, giving many of them as gifts. She was a talented seamstress, making many articles of clothing over the years. She made her wedding dress, in which she will be laid to rest. A favorite activity was camping and fishing-everything else could wait if there was an opportunity for fishing. June was a member of the Oakdale Baptist youth group where she met, fell in love with and married Darrell. Later she worked diligently at genealogy, locating and documenting many relatives from both of their families. There was always a big garden in her back yard; neighbors recognizing the familiar figure pulling weeds and harvesting produce. June tried her hand at preserving all kinds of unusual things from corncob jelly, to dandelion wine, to corn-husked tamales and lye-soaked hominy. About the only thing she ever threw out was a pot of Russian Borscht. Graveside services were held at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 6, 2012 at Westlawn Cemetery, Denver. Tom Harp officiated. Visitation was from 2-7 p.m. on Sunday at McClain Funeral Home, Denver. Memorial contributions may be made to the Denver Fire Department. The online guestbook can be signed at www.mcclainfh.com.

Corn silage could salvage some value for drought-damaged crop

Farmers with drought-damaged cornfields could consider harvesting the crop for livestock feed to salvage some of its value and to help livestock producers supplement short forage supplies, says a Purdue Extension forage specialist. Damaged corn can be harvested as either whole-plant silage or green chop, but, either way, growers and livestock producers need to be aware of how it can affect feed quality and animal health. “Feeding value of drought-stressed corn is influenced by several factors but in general is higher than expected,” Keith Johnson said. “Most studies indicate feed

value of droughtstressed corn to be 80100 percent that of normal silage.” Purdue University studies showed little or no difference in feedlot gain or milk production when beef and dairy cattle were fed normal or stressed corn silage. But, as a rule, Johnson said drought-stressed corn will have slightly more fiber and less energy, but 1-2 percent more protein than normal silage. One of the most influential factors is moisture content at harvest. “Ideally, the crop should contain 60-70 percent moisture at harvest,” Johnson said. “For upright silos, to avoid seepage, growers should

harvest at 60-65 percent, whereas for bunker silos, harvesting at 65-70 percent moisture will result in better packing and storage qualities.” He said producers often tend to harvest the damaged crop too soon, meaning silage has too much moisture, which can result in poor fermentation and ultimately lower feed value. Stalks of plants with brown leaves and stalks with small ears or little grain content will be higher in moisture. “A quick way to determine if the plant contains too much moisture is to handsqueeze a representative sample collected from the forage chopper,” Johnson said.

“If water drips from the squeezed sample, the corn is too wet for ideal fermentation.” Livestock producers using droughtdamaged corn for silage need to make sure they have the feed tested for nitrate. Nitrate levels can be higher in droughtdamaged corn. While the potential for nitrate toxicity after fermentation is reduced, Johnson said it’s still a good idea to have the feed analyzed. Producers with short pasture and stored feed supplies might also consider harvesting droughtdamaged corn as green chop. “There are two major concerns with

this practice,” Johnson said. “One is the potential for nitrate toxicity and the second is the potential to founder animals.” Animals with founder, or laminitis, have an inflammation of the soft tissue around the hoof bone that can cause permanent damage to the foot. He offered a series of steps to help avoid these problems: * Raise the cutter bar to 12 inches the first few days of chopping. *Gradually introduce animals to green chop. * Use other feeds that are low in nitrate as part of the ration. * Feed green chop in small quantities

throughout the day, rather than large quantities once per day. * Don’t allow greenchop forage to set on a wagon overnight. * Feed 2-3 pounds of grain with high nitrate feeds. * Take extra precautions during the first two to three days following rain because nitrate levels tend to increase during this period. “As plants mature, nitrate levels decline, so animals become acclimated and the chances for toxicity decrease over time,” Johnson said. Corn growers looking to sell droughtdamaged corn for silage, and livestock producers looking to purchase it, need to understand how to properly price the crop. Because yield varies widely based on moisture content, Johnson said moisture content will greatly affect pricing. Purdue Extension offers free publications to help with that process at h t t p : / / w w w. e x t e n sion.purdue.edu/dair y/articles/ValueCorn Silage.pdf and h t t p : / / w w w. e x t e n -

sion.purdue.edu/dair y/articles/CornSilag eValueCalculator2012. xls Before growers make any decisions about what to do with drought-damaged corn, Johnson said it is imperative that they check with crop insurance agents so the crop can be appraised for damage prior to harvest. He also noted that herbicides and insecticides applied to the corn crop throughout the season have feeding restrictions. Growers need to pay close attention to herbicide and insecticide labels and be in touch with chemical suppliers to make sure the crop is harvested and fed safely. More information also is available in Johnson’s Web-based p u b l i c a t i o n , “Drought-Damaged Corn as Livestock Feed,” available for free at http://www.ansc.purdue.edu/beef/Hendri x/DroughtDamagedC orn.html.

Entrepreneur manufactures and sells hemp product A Wabash County entrepreneur has started a company to design, manufacture and sell products made of industrial hemp to help protect people who spend time outdoors from the effects of the sun’s heat rays. Laketon resident Nate Edwards founded Yahmon Hemp in May 2012 after discovering the many natural qualities of hemp fiber, such as diffusion of ultra-violet and infrared rays from the sun, absorption of humidity, and natural ventilation that combine to help lower body temperature, keeping the individual cooler and more comfortable on hot summer days. Edwards has developed a line of clothing and accessories made of industrial hemp fabric, including solar shields, ponchos and bandanas. All of the products are currently available solely in the natural (creamcolored) hemp fabric, but additional colors are in the works. The solar shields and ponchos are available in a

variety of sizes, while the bandana comes in two sizes. The Yahmon Hemp products are being manufactured locally from fabric that is imported from China, the world’s leading producer of industrial hemp. Hemp is believed to be mankind’s oldest cloth, but because it comes from cannabis sativa, a family of plants associated with the drug marijuana, it is illegal to grow in the U.S. and therefore has to be imported from overseas. Edwards says his hemp products are a natural solution to hot summer days, as they reflect the sun’s rays and provide relief from the heat while wicking moisture and providing natural ventilation – a combination of benefits that he calls “bodily climate control.” Studies have shown that wearing a longsleeve shirt made of hemp fabric cools down an individual’s body temperature by up to 12° Fahrenheit when in direct sunlight, according to

Edwards. But in addition to offering relief from the heat, he notes that hemp, which is easy to grow and drought resistant, also is an e nv i ro n m e n t a l ly friendly plant. The entrepreneur says studies have shown that one acre of hemp eliminates 2,500 pounds of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere. Hemp also requires virtually no pesticides or herbicides to grow compared to cotton, another natural fiber used to make clothing. “I’d like to see my business providing relief to people from all over the world while engaging in philanthropy and partnering in the sustainability of the planet,” Edwards said when asked about the future of his company. He said he also plans to add T-shirts made of hemp to his clothing line. Edwards is a native of Wabash, graduating from Wabash High School in 1983 and serving the U.S.

Army before returning to his Hoosier hometown. After having worked in a variety of careers and struggling to find steady employment in recent years due to the recessed economy, he consulted with the Northeast Indiana Small Business Development Center about his idea to start a business. He met with NEISBDC Business Advisor Scot Goskowicz at the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. “Scot helped steer the ship in the beginning and helped me believe that my dream was achievable,” the entrepreneur said of the experience. For more information on Yahmon Hemp products, call Edwards at 574-5492804.

Zumba enthusiasts support Relay for Life

Twenty-five plus Zumba enthusiasts recently came out on a hot, summer Friday night to support the Relay For Life fundraiser at the YMCA. Instructors Shelly Ruch, Christy Means, Lisa Haupert, and Michael Dixon donated their time as they led the Latin-inspired dance exercise class. The event raised over

$330 for the Relay For Life, the signature event of the American Cancer Society to help fight cancer through research, education and patient services. Team Captains attended the wrap-up meeting/pizza appreciation party for the 2012 Relay at the conclusion of the fundraiser.

discussed about how to get more members interested in attending more meetings. This is important so Auxiliary organization can continue. The Auxiliary also thought of new ideas for fundrais-

ers to be used for the well being of the veterans. They voted to send Barbara Bishop and Shirley Kessler to the state convention in Indianapolis from July 11-14. Next meeting will be Aug. 21 at 7 p.m.

If the drought forces producers to feed a larger portion of distillers dried grains with solubles, cattle can maintain gains and improve meat quality if the animals are weaned early, a Purdue University scientist has shown. The finding, reported at the American Society of Animal Science Midwest Meetings in Des Moines, Iowa, could allow some producers to save on rising feed costs in the face of this year’s drought. Distillers dried grains with solubles, or DDGS, are the leftovers from corn ethanol production. DDGS generally cost about 10 percent less

than corn feed. “You can essentially use a cheaper feed for a portion of the time and maintain high rates of gain, while improving the quality of the meat,” said Jon Schoonmaker, an assistant professor of animal sciences. “It decreases fat thickness, but doesn’t decrease marbling score.” Schoonmaker tested cattle weaned at 100 days instead of a more traditional 200 days. Those early weaned cattle were fed diets with no DDGS or one with DDGS content of 30 percent or 60 percent for 99 days, after which they were fed a standard diet with no

DDGS. At 30 percent of the diet, there was no difference in weight or meat quality. At 60 percent, fat thickness decreased, and marbling, the dispersion of fat within the meat, was unaffected. But carcass weight was down about 2.5 percent. Average daily gain and intake were similar among all three treatments. Schoonmaker said he was looking at methods to increase DDGS in calf diets because available forage in pastures can limit cow productivity. As cows nurse, they and their calves need to eat more grass. He said cattle producers may be reluc-

tant to wean early because of the rising price of feed, but may have little choice as dry conditions deplete grasses. DDGS may offer a less expensive option. “They’re thinking corn prices will be extremely high this fall, but if they think of distiller’s grains inclusion at 60 percent of the diet, they could save some m o n e y , ” Schoonmaker said. Cattle fed DDGS also excrete more nitrogen, which can be an environmental concern. But Schoonmaker’s findings showed that early weaned cattle may excrete less nitrogen when fed a high DDGS diet. “Young calves utilize protein more efficiently, and they may be using more of that nitrogen for growth,” Schoonmaker said.
