Texting ban begins July 1 Thanks in part to a national campaign sponsored by the A m e r i c a n A u t o m o b i l e Association (AAA), the act of composing, reading or sending electronic text messages while driving will become illegal in Indiana effective July 1. Indiana joins 33 other states in enacting this legislation, which prohibits behind the wheel texting via handheld telecommunication devices such as cell phones and laptop computers. Under Indiana law, texting while driving will be classified as a primary offense, which means you can be pulled over and ticketed based on a text messaging offense alone. Violators will face a fine of up to $500 per offense. This welcome reform stems from a groundswell of public support punctuated by the National Highway Traffic S a f e t y (continued on page 6)

Farmers’ Market makes changes for new season by Amanda Hoff The Wabash Farmers’ Market, started in 2006 by Wabash Marketplace Inc., is experiencing some changes this year and one of them affects more than the farmers and their customers. For five Saturdays during the market’s season, which runs June 4 through Oct. 15, the vendors will be moved to a different location. While it is normally set up every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Elks/Honeywell parking lot, on June 18, July 9, Aug. 20, Sept. 17 and Oct. 15 the market will relocate. “Thanks to the cooperation of city officials, local businesses and our participating vendors we have the exciting opportunity to close off Miami Street between Market Street and Canal Street and conduct the market there,” said Abby Hoy, executive assistant to Bill Konyha at the E c o n o m i c Development Group

of Wabash County. Unfortunately, this means that no cars can be parked along that section of the street. “Signs will be put up the day before and, at 6 a.m., the City Police Department will begin the process of relocating any cars that are parked [there],” Hoy said. “Vehicles whose owners can not be found will be towed at the owner’s expense.” It is important that people in the community realize that the market is not trying to inconvenience them. The Elks needs use of the lot that the market is normally located in on those five days for events they are holding. “Considering they let us use the lot for free, we can’t really complain,” Hoy added. For those in the Wabash area who have not been to the Farmers’ Market, now might be the perfect time to go. “During these five dates, local businesses, such as Modoc’s Market and Charley

A VARIETY OF OPTIONS: While the Wabash Farmers’ Market is known for offering produce, many might be surprised to know it also has a variety of flowers and other plants available. As the market expands, customers will have a wider array of fruits and vegetables to choose from along with entirely new items, including arts and crafts. (photo provided) Creek Inn, will be doing specials and participating in the market with our vendors,” Hoy said. This year the market has done more than change location on a few days, they have also added new vendors and a wider variety of items.

Other than the fresh and locally grown produce, new vendors will be offering items such as Adirondack homemade chairs, woodcrafts, jewelry, artistic items and furniture. A few others will have cider and homemade wine for sale.

The setup of the market itself has also changed. “We have a new layout that makes the market flow much nicer,” said Jill Ross, market master and Wabash County Farmers’ Market committee member. Based on input from communi-

ty members and the vendors that participate, the market has made several changes that they feel will better suit the community. “The committee is working on entertainment,” Ross said. “We are adding new ideas (continued on page 6)

County Surplus Auction raises nearly $8,000 by Danielle Smith The recent County Surplus Auction was successful in raising a total of $7,900, as was reported at the June 20 meeting of the Wabash County Commissioners. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land informed the Commissioners that Wabash County Jail is currently housing 76 inmates. Three Wabash inmates are being housed in Miami County Jail; Land is considering transferring them back to Wabash assuming the jail population here remains

low. Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Agency (EMA) and Central Dispatch Director Bob Brown will be displaying “If you see something, say something” posters in various public places including the local law enforcement agencies and schools. These posters are part of the Department of Homeland Security’s initiative to encourage citizens to report behavior indicative of criminal activity. C o u n t y Coordinator Jim Dils relayed information

regarding damage to a Wabash County Health Department vehicle as a result of a collision on June 10. The estimated total damage was $2,577.44, and the County must pay a $1,000 deductible to the insurance company. Dils also informed the Commissioners that he was approached by a group of graduate students from Howard University who requested permission to shoot a film in Wabash for a school project. The students had also approached various

other local officials. Heartland Career Center painted three cars for use in the film, and city officials gave the students permission to shoot the film as long as names of certain agencies were not included in the film itself. This will take place during the first part of July. The meeting continued as Wabash County Auditor Jane Ridgeway presented the certificate of tax distribution. From the June settlement, $144,536.78 went into the CCD fund, and $2,145,165.72 went into the General Fund.

Ridgeway then presented a review of the Commissioners’ recent 2012 Budget Workshop Session. The review reflected a two-percent salary increase across the board, a .75-percent increase in Public E m p l o y e e s ’ Retirement Fund (PERF), the addition of the Sheriff ’s Pension Fund actuarial and trustee fees and various other additions and changes. Ridgeway also informed the Commissioners of a need for malpractice insurance for Dr. James Rudolph,

incoming county health officer, as he is only covered by Wabash County Hospital for the emergency room. County Attorney Steve Downs will further investigate this matter. The meeting was concluded by Jody Lundquist, who presented concerns regarding ditches on CR 100 S and CR 50 S. This information will be reviewed by the Drainage Board and the Highway Department.

Indiana corn farmers applaud senators on show of support for ethanol, rural America

The Indiana Corn Growers Association recently thanked Indiana Senators Richard Lugar and Dan Coats for their support and co-sponsorship of the Ethanol Reform and Deficit Reduction Act introduced by Senators John Thune of South Dakota and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota. “A strong and viable ethanol industry is important for not only Indiana corn farmers but also Indiana’s economy as it provides jobs and a strong economic base for our rural communities,” said Gary Lamie, Indiana Corn Growers Association (ICGA) president and Tippecanoe County farmer. “It is reassuring to know that our Senators realize the importance of producing homegrown renewable energy here in the United States.” T h e Thune/Klobuchar

legislation would end the current ethanol tax incentive on July 1 and replace it with a variable tax credit tied to the price of oil. It would also extend the small producer ethanol credit through 2014. The legislation is projected to result in $2.5 billion in revenues, and dedicate $1 billion of that to deficit reduction and $1.5 billion to ethanol infrastructure. “ICGA supports the Ethanol Reform and Deficit Reduction Act as it looks to transition the ethanol industry into a variable tax incentive and create additional market access for ethanol by removing existing barriers of consumer choice,” said Lamie. “We appreciate the work that Sens. Thune and Klobuchar have put into this legislation, as well as our own Sens. Dan Coats and Richard Lugar.” ICGA also expressed their appre-

ciation to both Sens. Coats and Lugar for standing up against Sen. Tom Coburn’s amendment to immediately repeal the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit. On June 14, the amendment, which needed 60 votes to pass, failed on the Senate floor with 59 votes against and only 40 votes in favor. “We greatly appreciate the strong message our senators sent Sen. Coburn today by voting against an amendment that would result in destructive policy making especially to an industry that is responsible for creating more than 3,400 jobs across Indiana mostly in rural areas,” said Mike Nichols, ICGA farmer-director from Spencer County who also sits on National Corn Growers Association’s ethanol committee. “ICGA realizes the need to reform our ethanol

policies and supports reform options to look to provide a safety net to the industry while lowering the overall cost to the federal government.” Indiana ranks fifth in the nation in corn production and our state’s 13 operating ethanol plants represent 7.5 percent of the nation’s annual production, ranking fifth overall. Indiana’s ethanol industry is also producing distillers grains, a high energy feed for livestock. About onethird of every bushel of corn used in ethanol production gets returned to the market as distillers grains. Nichols added that the variable tax credit structure means the tax credit only kicks in when it is needed, providing no credit when oil prices are high and a limited credit when oil prices are low. A recent study commissioned by Indiana

Corn Marketing Council found that ethanol production contributes almost $500 million to the state’s Gross State Product (GSP). In addition, the industry pays $45 million annually in state and local taxes and has invested nearly $1.5 billion in direct capital investments to build the state’s ethanol manufacturing base since 2006. “As Indiana continues to recover significant losses to our manufacturing base over the last several years, our ethanol industry has been a significant economic driver, especially in our rural communities,” said Nichols. “This legislation goes a long way to ensure that the ethanol industry continues to add value to our economy while supplying a consistent source of American-made renewable energy.”

Parkview Huntington Hospital receives national recognition

P a r k v i e w Huntington Hospital has once again been recognized nationally for providing excellent care. Following its recent recognition in 2010 by ThomsonReuters as a 100 Top Hospital, this year it has been named one of the 65 Great Community Hospitals by the bimonthly magazine Becker’s Hospital Review. All 65 hospitals include fewer than 550

patient beds. At 36 beds, Parkview Huntington is the smallest of the 65 hospitals recognized. The media release sent from ASC Communications to Parkview Huntington Hospital reads: “This 36-bed hospital may be small in size, but it offers a range of services to the communities in Huntington County. Parkview Huntington has 203 physicians on

its medical staff, but the hospital campus also includes the Physicians Specialty Clinic of Parkview Huntington, which is comprised of various specialists from nearby communities who see patients on a regular basis. The hospital … has also set aside 10 percent of its net income to fund community health initiatives. Its Vaccination Initiative Pneumonia (VIP) program increased the rate of pneumonia vaccines by 18 percent for adults age 65 and older in Huntington County.”

“To be recognized nationally as one of the 65 Great Community Hospitals in the nation by Becker’s Hospital Review is truly an honor,” said Darlene Garrett, Parkview Huntington Hospital chief operating officer. “This follows our previous recognition by Thomson-Reuters as a 100 Top Hospital in the nation in 2010, and speaks to the professionalism and dedication of each and every co-worker at Parkview Huntington Hospital.” A number of strong, reputable hos-

HealthGrades awards Magnet Recognition by the American Nurses Credentialing Center Additional research is conducted into each hospital and industry experts are queried, whose opinions and knowledge are valued as to which hospitals should receive recognition as one of the best in the country. With these national rankings and reviews, a final comprehensive evaluation is conducted into the credentials of the hospitals to make the selections. Becker’s Hospital

Emmanuel Free Will Baptist pastor reflects on last 25 years in Wabash

by Amanda Hoff After 25 years of service at the Emmanuel Free Will Baptist Church and Emmanuel Christian School, Pastor Doug Phillips and his family are moving on. Although he has spent the last 17 years doing so, Phillips has not always been the senior pastor at Emmanuel; he was also a teacher, principal and janitor. His wife, Kathy, who he married in 1980, has also held many positions at the church and school. She was also a janitor at one point and will be leaving the church as the office manager. When Doug and Kathy moved to Wabash, they had no children. Now that they are preparing to leave, that is no

longer the case. Patrick was their first child; they adopted him from Decatur when he was four years old. Then, as often happens, they had two more of their own. Katie came first, followed by Kallie. Katie is currently living in Indianapolis and attending college. Kallie will be starting her junior year of high school in a new state and school this coming fall. In June 1986, Doug learned of an opening at the church through a college friend and, even though he was raised in Anderson and knew no one in Wabash, he decided to take the offer and see what happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking back now, it makes sense why the Lord called us here,â&#x20AC;? he said.

With so many pastors moving and changing positions so often, he was surprised, and pleased when his new position seemed to fit perfectly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never dreamed Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d live in Indiana but this is the longest Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived anywhere,â&#x20AC;? Doug added. Considering he has lived in Wabash for 25 years and worked at Emmanuel for just as long, he is definitely not leaving emptyhanded. He has plenty of memories to take with him. One of those memories is of the showings of Passion of the Christ and Fireproof at Eagles Theatre. Emmanuel Free Will Baptist Church essentially bought out the theatre and gave away 1,000 tickets to these movies and it is defi-

Steven Neal graduates as salutatorian

Chris and Shelly Neal are pleased to announce that their son, Steven, graduated from Pinckney Community High School on June 5 as salutatorian of his class. Steven has been active in drama, marching band, wind ensemble, National Honor Society, class council and student government during his four years of high school. Steven received the

John Philip Sousa Award and the band key award from the band director. He has participated in the Livingston County Honors band for three years and All-State Honors band for two years. He served on the equipment staff for the band for three years. He received the Ed Jones Band Scholarship, the American Red Cross scholarship and the National Honor

Society Scholarship. Steven will enter Michigan State University this fall to major in English and secondary education. Steven is the grandson of Mike and Becky Davenport, and the late Verlis and Linda Neal; and the great-grandson of Mary Davenport and Eva Wilson. He will be honored at an open house at the Dallas Winchester Senior Center on June 25 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Coats releases statement regarding elimination of ethanol tax credit

Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) recently issued the following statement regarding the Senate votes to eliminate the ethanol tax credit: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our country is spending beyond its means and tough decisions need to be made. Eliminating the ethanol tax credit and putting a sensible transition in place will save taxpayers money and help bring down the deficit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am disappointed the Senate Democratic leadership prevented us from debating an alternative proposal that would end the ethanol tax credit while putting in place a path forward for the industry to continue its effort to lower gas prices and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before my return to the Senate in January, Congress committed to extend the ethanol tax credit through the end of this year. Hoosier farmers and biofuel producers planned and invested according to this commitment, and Congress should not pull the rug out from under these businesses without a responsible transition.â&#x20AC;? The current ethanol tax credit is set to expire at the end of the year. Coats voted against the Coburn-Feinstein amendment and the McCain amendment to immediately end the ethanol tax credit without a transition process. Coats said he will be working with other members of the Senate to pass the Ethanol Reform and Deficit Reduction Act as an alternative.

nitely not something Pastor Phillips regrets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw marriages change,â&#x20AC;? he said. After the showing of Fireproof, he knew that movies were a new and powerful way to reach his congregation. Pastor Phillips will also remember the people above anything else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember the people, even the people that were not in the church,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great community.â&#x20AC;? Other memories that stick out for him are the salvation decisions he has seen and the baptisms he has had the honor to perform. During his time at Emmanuel, Pastor Phillips has seen more than 1,000 people make commitments to Christ for

the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the things that give purpose to your life,â&#x20AC;? he said. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the office staff, there are records of almost everything the church has done, including baptisms. A member of the church recently told Pastor Phillips that the last baptism he did was his 414th. Even though he has done so many, he still remembers Zach Patterson, the first person he ever baptized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if there is anything better than a changed life,â&#x20AC;? he said. Resigning from his position is not something Pastor Phillips was looking forward to doing, but he says that he feels so much peace now knowing that he is moving on

to where the Lord wants him next. After his last sermon on July 3, the family will be moving to Kinston, N. C., where he will be the associate pastor and principal at the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church and School. To celebrate his and

his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25 years of service, the Deacon Board at Emanuel will be hosting an open house on June 26 from 2 to 5 p.m. Family, friends and church members are welcome to come and say goodbye to Pastor Phillips and his family.

every day.” The committee members themselves have also changed. They have a group of people who are passionate about the market and want to see it grow. Some may ask: Why have a farmers’ market when the prices at the grocery store are sometimes cheaper? Well, statistics say that having a farmers’ market leads to a healthier lifestyle. “A community that has a thriving farmers’ market has lower obe-

sity, diabetes and cancer rates, and healthier hearts,” Ross said. When consumers buy at the farmers’ market, they can ask the farmer any question they have about the food they are buying. “I like to be able to ask the farmer who grew it how he would cook it, what goes well with it, and how to store it,” Ross said. “This is what makes the market so great. You are face to face with your farmer.” Not only can you communicate directly with the farmers and the market, you can improve Wabash as a whole. Many in the community see the farmers’ market as a way to better the economy in Wabash. “I spend my money for their goods and it stays in our community, a win-win situa-

tion if you ask me,” Ross said. “Not only is it good for my family, it is good for the vendor’s family.” Buying at the farmers’ market, you know exactly where your money is going. On top of selling many new items this year, the market is still offering its normal fresh produce and, while the farmers may bring in different food goods from one Saturday to the next, you can guarantee it is home grown and in season. One way of assuring this is that the committee now requires farmers to fill out a form and list where the produce was grown. The form is filled out each week and is displayed so the customers can see it. Hopefully this will put to rest any doubts

as to where the food was grown and how far it has come before being sold to consumers. Ross, however, knows what she is getting when she buys from the market. “I make my grocery list around the farmers’ market,” she said. “I get my vegetables, fruits, bakery items, bread and eggs all at the market every week.” But, what exactly is the difference in the produce from the market compared to an actual grocery store? “Let’s face it, a big beefsteak tomato tastes much better than any tomato you can buy at any big box store,” Ross said. “It just tastes better, is made better, and grown better at the market.” Ross also seems to

think that the people at the market are just as praise worthy as the food and items they sell. “The atmosphere of the market is great,” she said. “I love seeing my vendors every Saturday. They become like your family. It is just a wonderful place to be with wonderful people.” Having a farmers’ market in Wabash provides farmers a way to sell their goods, gives the community a responsible way to shop and shows that Wabash cares about the impact it has on the environment and economy. It is a great way to get involved in the community and put food on the table at the same time.

The newly renovated Eagles Theater in downtown Wabash will host the films beginning at 7:30 p.m. This event is made possible through the partnership between Heartland Truly Moving Pictures, the H o n e y w e l l Foundation, and the Charley Creek Foundation. One of the films, God of Love, won the Oscar for live action short film at the 83rd Academy Awards in February. God of Love is about a love-struck darts champion who finds his prayers are answered – literally – when he receives a mysterious box of love-inducing darts.

The story was written by Luke Matheny, who also directed the film. The picture is the 2010 Heartland Film Festival Award winner. Grande Drip is the story of a man who receives encouragement from an eccentric homeless man to woo a girl at a coffee shop. Restaino wrote and directed the film, which won the 2009 Audience Choice Award for best short film at the Heartland Festival. Waiting for a Train: The Toshio Hirano Story, a student documentary, won the 2010 Heartland Film Festival Award. This film reveals the humorous and heartfelt true story of Toshio Hirano, a Japanese immigrant whose life was transformed by the music

of country music legend Jimmie Rodgers. Oscar Bucher produced and directed the film. Heartland, based in Indianapolis, is a notfor-profit organization that seeks to bring positive change through film. At the annual Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis each October the group screens independent films from around the world.

LARRY JAMERSON, a Wabash Post Office employee for the past 38 1/2 years, is retiring and will work his last day July 1. Larry says he will miss the people most; no doubt his co-workers and costumers will miss him too. The post office will have refreshments available in the lobby on Larry’s last day for those wanting to wish him well. (photo by Amanda Hoff)

by Amanda Hoff A person you should know this week is Larry Jamerson, window clerk and sales associate at the Wabash Post Office. Larry was born and raised in Wabash County, and is a 1966 graduate of Wabash High School. He is married and has one daughter and two stepdaughters. Larry worked at the Plain Dealer right after high school and then was in the army for 3 1/2 years. He also worked at Ford Meter Box before starting at the post office in March of 1973. After working at the post office for 38 1/2 years, Larry’s last day will be July 1. It is evident that he enjoys his job and will miss the daily interactions he has with customers through the widow. On behalf of the Wabash Post Office, the public is invited to share refreshments with Larry on July 1 and wish him well. Read Larry’s answers to the questions below to learn

more about his experiences along the way. What do you enjoy most about your job? Meeting the people, I just really enjoy working with the people. What will you miss the most? The people, including the employees. What’s something that surprised you about this job? It is really awesome how things get from here to there in a timely manner – we’ve got deadlines that we have to meet. You learn to appreciate the fact that if you close at five, you close at five. It doesn’t mean you have to be out of the door at five. We have things we have to do after five o’ clock. Why did you change jobs? I graduated in ’66 so I started to go to school and saw that it wasn’t for me. When I left, I figured I was going to be drafted. So, I thought, why don’t I join before I get drafted? I went up to Memorial Hall and there were two

recruiters there. One of them was an Army recruiter; one of them was a recruiter for the Marines. I asked them, “Where is the Navy recruiter, everyone wants in the Navy.” They said, “He didn’t have to come to work.” So I asked, “How about the Air Force?” They said the same thing. So, I said, “Anybody have anything where you don’t have to go to Vietnam?” And the Army recruiter said, “If you join for four years you don’t have to go.” I said, “That’s worth the risk.” I signed up and a year later I was in Vietnam. I was in military intelligence; I ranked spec four. We had our own hotel downtown – it was nice. We copied morse code. I wasn’t very good at it. I was in Vietnam for a year and then I went to Ben Hill Farms, Va., and did the very same thing I did in Vietnam. So why I had to go over there I don’t know.

What are some of your childhood memories? When we were younger we did live on a farm in Roann and we went to school in Laketon for a couple years. I suppose for those couple years we were on the farm, my brothers and sisters and I were pretty close. All we had were each other. When we moved back to town we all

had our own friends. What do your children do? My daughter lives in Colorado and she’s a teacher, but she’s raising her family right now. I have two stepdaughters; Jenny works at Beacon and Wendy is a housemother. What are some memories you have from vacations you’ve taken? Well, since my daughter lives in Denver, Colo., we make lots of trips there. We’ve also gone to Texas and Florida. We’ve been to Disney World several times. Ever take grandkids with you? No, we’d rather enjoy it ourselves. What do you hope to do after you leave here? Well, I really don’t know, but I’ve reached the end for civil service. I’ll worry about that after July 1. What are some of your hobbies? I really don’t know yet. My wife and I just bought a house on Long Lake. We’ve moved up there and sold our house in town already. So maybe I’ll get into fishing, I don’t know. Does your wife have a honey-do list she’s putting together for you to work on the house? Oh, yes. That will take a while. Do you keep family photo albums to reminisce? Well, I have a lot of pictures on my computer, which upsets my wife because she won’t get on the computer. How do you feel about leaving the post office? Things are changing fast here; it’s almost daily. We’ve been hit hard by the comput-

er. The electronic age of faxes and emails, electronic transfers, direct deposits – it’s really hit us hard here. There are going to be a lot of changes. I’m kind of glad to get out. Anything else you’d like to add? I graduated in ’66 and we are having our 45th reunion this summer. Do you have someone you would like to nominate for “A

Person You Should Know”? The only requirement is that they be a local person that contributes something positive to our community. Contact Mike Rees at mrees@the paperofwabash.com or Danielle Smith at news@thepaperofwabash.com. They can also be reached by phone at 260-5638326.

Dairy expert: Indiana dairy farms can manage input costs

While rising feed prices and other production costs are putting pressure on the Indiana dairy industry, a Purdue Extension dairy specialist says there may be ways for dairy farmers to reduce their on-farm input expenses. “The three biggest input costs for dairies are feed, labor, and replacement heifers,” said Mike Schutz. “Two out of the three are influenced dramatically by corn prices.” With rising energy and grain prices, Schutz said the economic model for Indiana’s 1,600 dairies is shifting back to diversification. Producing feeds such as hay and grains allows farmers to better control their input costs. “The dairy economic crisis of 2009 showed record low milk prices and high feed costs, and farms that were diverse were positioned to weather that crisis,” Schutz said. “During

that year, the average dairy lost between $350 and $1,000 per cow, but losses were absorbed better by those raising their own feed.” Since 2009, the milk price has increased; however, the margin between milk price and feed cost remains small. The dairy industry typically expands when there is a milk-to-feed price ratio of at least 3-to-1, but in April 2011 the ratio was 1.84-to-1. Despite the high prices, corn is still an affordable feed with a high-energy value, Schutz said. Farmers also can consider byproduct feeds but should ensure that they are able to return a profit. Other ways dairy farmers can reduce input costs include calculating feed requirements and properly caring for forages. “Feed deliveries should match cow consumption as closely as possible,” Schutz said. “It’s also important to avoid shrink-

age by covering forages as quickly as possible and preventing spoilage.” For the animals, making sure cows are bred back quickly can help reduce costs. A farm loses $4-$5 per day for each cow that is not bred in a reasonable time frame. In order to identify when a cow is in estrus, many dairies are now using pedometers that measure a cow’s activity and body position. In addition to keeping reproductive costs down, pedometers can also help identify diseased animals. Automated technology also can refine dairy operation processes to reduce labor costs. Automatic calf feeders lead to calves being fed more frequently and can increase growth rates. Robotic milking systems are an option that can reduce manual labor by 60-70 percent, Schutz said. But producers must carefully determine whether up-front costs allow the investment to be profitable for their farm. Forward contracts are a potential source of stability in a dairy farm’s income. According to Schutz, the all-milk price per hundredweight is currently about $20, and futures for late summer and fall look strong. Over the last year Indiana has lost about 90 dairy herds, Schutz said. Dairy farms throughout the state milk 171,000 cows.

YMCA and American Health Network present Walk with a Doc The Wabash County YMCA and American Health Network have teamed up to present our first free Walk with a Doc event. Join Drs. James Bain and William Rauh from American Health Network in this first free Walk with a Doc event on July 9. The event will begin at 8 a.m. at Paradise Springs. The first 50 people who register will receive a free dri-fit t-shirt. Everyone of all activi-

ty levels is encouraged to attend. Following the walk, the Wabash County YMCA will host free events, including free exercise classes, a mini-health fair and free chair massages. Registration forms are available at the Wabash County YMCA and American Health Network. For more information, please contact Christina Doan at 260563-9622 or 260-5632126, or email her at

Christina_Doan@ahn i.com. Why walking? Walking for as little as 30 minutes a day can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease, improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels, elevate your mood and reduce your risk for osteoporosis, cancer and diabetes. Walking is low impact and easier on the joints than running. It is safe- with a doctor’s okay- for peo-

ple with orthopedic ailments, heart conditions, and those who are more than 20 percent overweight. In addition, research has shown that you could gain two hours of life for each hour of regular exercise. That quick stroll around the block seems a little more worthwhile now, doesn’t it? Please make walking a part of your daily routine and join us for our free Walk with a Doc event.

Annual Indiana Fallen Officers Blood Drives to be held throughout state On July 10, 2001, Sergeant Dan R. Starnes of the Morgan County Sheriff ’s Department lost his life as a result of gunshot wounds sustained during a line of duty gun battle with a burglary suspect four weeks earlier. To keep his memory alive, his surviving spouse, Janice, organized the Sergeant Dan R. Starnes Memorial Blood Drive in Morgan County later that year, and has organized a blood drive each year since in Dan’s memory. In 2006, she decided to take the blood drive statewide and renamed it the Indiana Fallen Officers Blood Drive. “I ask that everyone please understand the importance of this worthwhile cause and help promote Indiana’s statewide blood drive,” said Janice Starnes. “In

honoring our fallen officers the surviving family members are comforted knowing the sacrifice their officer made will never be forgotten.” Twenty-three locations throughout the Indiana State Police Peru District will be holding blood drives on various dates through Aug. 1. The Indiana Blood Center is a vital link in Indiana’s health care infrastructure, supplying more than 550 units of blood to more than 60 Indiana hospitals every day. The nonprofit community service organization was founded in 1952 to provide a continuous, safe and adequate supply of blood products and testing services.

Health, economic benefits of making Indiana smoke-free

Making all Indiana workplaces, restaurants, and bars 100 percent smoke-free would prevent about 27,300 youths from becoming smokers, and, within five years, save an estimated $74.35 million in lung cancer, heart

attack, and stroke costs. According to the Surgeon General, the science is clear: There is no safe level of exposure to second-hand smoke. Just as tobacco smoke causes lung cancer, heart attacks,

strokes, and other preventable diseases in smokers, second-hand smoke causes disease and death in non-smokers, as well. Smoke-free laws not only decrease exposure to tobacco smoke and the resulting disease and death, they also decrease the number of youth who start smoking, increase the number of smokers who quit, and cut health care costs for smokers and nonsmokers alike. Indiana is one of only 15 states that currently has no law prohibiting smoking in all workplaces or restaurants or bars. Making all workplaces, restaurants, and bars in the state 100 percent smoke-free is the only way to protect all Indiana residents from the dangers of secondhand smoke. Making these public places smoke free would be expected to provide the following reductions in the num-

ber of smokers and the number of deaths caused by smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke. It is expected that 65,300 adults would quit smoking, 27,300 youth would never start smoking, there would be 40.600 less smoking related deaths, and 4,500 less deaths of non-smokers. In addition to saving lives, making Indiana smoke-free would cut healthcare costs for both smokers and nonsmokers. Over five years, a comprehensive smoke-free law covering all Indiana work places, restaurants, and bars would be expected to produce economic benefits including a savings of $19.54 million in lung cancer treatments, $54.81 million in heart attack and stroke, $1.29 million in the state’s Medicaid program, and $10.43 million in smoking related pregnancy treatment.

JEREMY SHEPHERD, 27, recently recorded the first hole-in-one at The WALDO, which is the former Highland Hills public golf course in Roann, on June 4. Shepherd was practicing with his partner for an upcoming scramble when he launched the perfect drive with his three-wood on Hole 18, 200-yard par four. “When I got up to the green I was looking around for my ball but it wasn’t there,” he said, “so I decided to look in the hole and that’s when I got really excited. I was jumping around and giving highfives and when the course manager, Bill Unger, came out to shake my hand even he was excited.” Shepherd, who also works part-time at the course, has been playing golf for approximately five years; in season he generally plays 18 holes about four days per week. He said he was playing well that day, over par but still pretty well – it was his first hole-in-one. (photo by Shaun Tilghman)

This year, Summer Theatre will present “Grease: the School Version” and “Willy Wonka Junior” on June 24 and 25. “Grease” features Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: ducktailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies.” Junior

and senior high school students will present the play with curtain time at 7:30 both evenings in the Ford Theater at the Honeywell Center. The “greasers” include Gabe Hoagland as Danny Zuko, along with Brock Ireland, Clayton Marcum, J o h n a t h o n Friedersdorf, and Spencer Mahan. Sandy Dumbrowski will be played by Samantha Maggart, alongside “Pink Ladies” Kalie Ammons, Alicia Ratcliff, Nine Lake,

Seventy-two students in grades three through six will take part in “Willy Wonka Junior” with a curtain time of 5 p.m. both days. The cast includes Nathanael Fadil as Willy Wonka, Christian Simpson as the Candy Man, and Adam Bott as Charlie

VPA appreciated the financial assistance provided by the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County and the Honeywell Foundation along with support from many other organizations.

Winchester Senior Center offers yoga classes

The Winchester Senior Center and Living Well in Wabash County COA is pleased to welcome Lauren Urschel as their returning yoga instructor.

Randy Carmichael will present his acclaimed performance of “Carmichael Sings Carmichael” on June 25, at 7:30 p.m., in the Charley Creek Inn Ballroom, as part of the annual Charley Creek Arts Fest. Carmichael’s father, Hoagy Carmichael, was one of America’s most prolific composers of popular music throughout a career that spanned more than five decades. A dinner prepared by Chef Scott Howell precedes the performance. Randy, an accomplished pianist and vocalist, has interpreted his father’s famous songs throughout the country. His vocal and

piano renditions of numbers such as “Skylark”, “Georgia on my Mind”, “The Nearness of You”, and “Stardust” are interspersed with stories of how the songs came to be written and with accounts of Hoagy’s life in show business. Hoagy Carmichael, who was born in Bloomington in 1899, held a law degree from Indiana University, but he abandoned his career as an attorney when recordings of his earliest compositions began to sell. Hoagy’s success as a composer eventually took him to Hollywood, where he wrote music for the movies and appeared in films such as To

Have and Have Not, Best Years of Our Lives, and Young Man With a Horn. His song, “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening”, written for the film Here Comes the Groom, won an Academy Award in 1951. Randy’s CD, “Carmichael Sings Carmichael”, recorded with the late Tommy Mullinex Big Bank, will be available to purchase at the event. Tickets for dinner and the cabaret performance may be purchased by calling 260563-5043, or by using an order form found online at the Charley Creek Arts Fest website, www.charleycreekartsfest.org.

Brandt’s to host Great White concert June 25

4759

Great White, featuring original members Mark Kendall (guitar), Michael Lardie (guitar, keyboards), Audie Desbrow (drums) and bassist Scott Snyder, continues to release potent collections – evident from their first shows at the Troubador- to rock’s largest festivals. After being rushed to the hospital on Aug. 11, 2010, Frontman Jack Russell underwent emergency surgery on a perforated bowel. He nearly died, and doctors implanted a colostomy bag. Russell remained in the hospital for over eight weeks. Russell was ordered to take a year off of touring and in his absence, good friend and ex-Warrant Frontman Jani Lane stepped in to help his friends finish the 2010 tour. “Jani really helped me and my brothers in Great White out,”

Great White emerged on the hard rock scene in 1978 and continues to sell out shows worldwide. Best known for the 1989 smash “Once Bitten, Twice Shy,” charting the rock waters is second-hand nature to this California-based band. With each show and record, the grit and blues-hued sound persists. What hasn’t faulted is the shear energy each live performance of “Stick It,” “Mista Bone,” “The Angel Song” and others proclaim. Approaching 10 million albums sold,

They are gearing up for Jackyl on July 16 and Quiet Riot on Aug. 27, to name a few. They also hold a free hog roast the first Saturday of each month.

While at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, she studied with renowned soprano Virginia Zeani, who once told her student, “If you want to be the best Verdian soprano the world has ever seen, you have to work.” And work she did.

Verdi’s classical opera. That night Brown stunned the audience and critics alike. The lead to the New York Times review of Brown’s remarkable performance was “At last an Aida.” Three years later, when Brown returned to the Met in the same role, another Times critic, Bernard Holland, wrote, “It is said that big voices win out at the Met. Ms. Brown has one, but her real secret is a purity and presence that can send even the quietist passages floating out to the back of the house. She is passionate without loss of musical discipline.”

Russell said. “He really came through for our band, and all the Great White fans. He knows I would have been out there if I could, and it meant a lot.” With the New Year, Terry Ilous, former XYZ lead singer, has taken on the role of leading Great White. Ilous brings a dynamic and fresh approach to the Great White sound. In the tradition of the great English bluesmen, Ilous’ voice is raw, sweet and dangerous all at once. His energy brings the crowd to a fever pitch before the second song. “As far as choosing someone to fill the enormous shoes of Jack Russell, it was important to pick a singer who had Jack’s blues chops as well as his sweet tenor,” said Michael Lardie. Brandt’s HarleyDavidson will continue their free summer concerts by hosting a

about library programs and services. NORTH MANCHESTER GARDEN CLUB: The North Manchester Garden Club has chosen Peggy Workman as Garden of the Month for June. Anyone driving on N. SR 13 will usually notice the corner garden backdropped by the f a r m e r ’ s field. However, there is a long hillside garden that is beautiful at different seasons of bloom. In the 70s, roadwork was done on SR 13, increasing the hill slope making it difficult to mow. Peggy’s husband said, “How about a garden?” Peggy has worked in it ever since – four decades. It provides so much joy to her as she looks out her window, but also travelers along SR 13. If you slow down and look, you’ll see bright orange poppies, (glorious this spring!), iris, spiderwort, roses and peonies; so many colors it has to make you smile. On another hill, was once a rock garden where history is even older with a beautiful old rose grown by

Peggy’s grandmother. Her yard is peppered with charm of wieglea, dianthus, petunias, a scented geranium (to keep mosquitos at bay), vines, columbine, iris and a bit of whimsy with a wooden farmer cutout looking over his field. One does not even notice the cars whizzing by on State Road 13 in the lush green grass and peaceful trees, even a huge stately tulip tree in full bloom. We hope Peggy accepts this Garden of the Month as a small honor to her and her late husband for helping to beautify our town. Thank you Peggy. You can visit this garden in pictures and others at the Garden Club’s website, manchestergardenclub.com. We also invite you to nominate a garden or yard you feel has been kept looking nice, neat and attractive. The Garden Club meets the second Thursday of the month and is open to any who enjoy gardening. We maintain the Eel River Gardens on Main Street. We recently enjoyed sharing a progressive dinner

and garden tour of three of our members’ gardens with a Wabash Garden Club. We are planning a carpool trip to the Marshall (Mich.) Garden Tour on July 9. For more info please visit our website or call 260-9828177. INDIANA FALLEN OFFICERS BLOOD DRIVE: On June 23, the American Red Cross will be holding an Indiana Fallen Officers Blood Drive at the Manchester Church of the Brethren.

Please remember to bring your Red Cross blood donor card or some other form of positive ID with you. Mark your calendars today and come give a little in memory of those who gave all, and help save someone in need of this life giving blood.

ery. LAKETON HISTORY: The site of Laketon was on a level and beautiful tract, with Round Lake to the west, Long Lake to the northwest and Silver Creek only a mile west. With 90 lots north of Eel River, streets going north and south were Pottawotame, Spring, Mill and Tamarack, and streets going east and west were Eel, Wabash, Lake and Wayne. There have been several additions to the original plat since then. These additions have been made to Laketon on the north side of the Eel River; however, on the south side of the river about a mile away was a village entirely separate from Laketon but, for some reason the proprietor called his plat an addition to Laketon, known as South Laketon. Laketon was in a

woods like most towns back then, with no railroads or well established roads, it was often called “Laketon the golden, the original Queen of the Lakes”. Nestled down in her cozy spot between the river and the delightful lakes, it was felt that taking the two parts of the town lying on two sides of the river with 257 lots and 15 separate streets it was enough to lay the foundation of a town equal to Chicago. But this never came to pass. IF YOU HAVE ANY NEWS you want to share, contact me at 260-2255731 or at laketontoday@yahoo.com.

URBANA FLAG POLE NEEDS A NEW FLAG: The Urbana Lions Club is proud of the flagpole in front of the pavilion at the Urbana ballpark, where it was placed in 2009 as a result of donations from Urbana graduates and community members. It has been brought to our attention that the flag needs replacing. A replacement flag (cost $57) has been ordered. If anyone would like to pay for the replacement flag, it would be greatly appreciated. Please let Lion Mary Ann Mast, Urbana School Reunion Committee, know. Also, thanks to Wendel Dawes for repairing the ruts and reseeding the grass surrounding the flag pole area. THANK YOU to Bill and Lee Risher (Risher TV and Appliances) for the new popcorn popper for the Lions Club Snack Shack. Please tell them when you see them how much the community appreciates their support and remember to buy local from merchants who in turn help our

local communities in so many ways! ST. PETER’S WOMEN’S GUILD met in the home of Doris Mattern on June 14. President Kitty Baer opened the meeting with prayer and read an article written by Erma Bombeck on “Tidying Up Your Life.” Doris Mattern read an article printed in the Plain Dealer about Flag Day and also a bookmark poem about Flag Day. The remembrance of Flag Day was concluded with the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll call was answered by members telling the make of their first automobile. After the Secretary’s and Treasurer’s reports there was a short business meeting. Members were urged to bring pillowcases (new or used) to Jane Winebrenner, who will take them to Charis House in Fort Wayne. The Charis House is a project of the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission that cares for homeless women and children. “They provide immediate relief from the danger, hunger, fear, and suffering associated with homelessness.” Jane also asked for pill bottles (labels removed) that can be used by missionaries. These can be taken to St. Matthew’s United Church of Christ in Wabash or given to Jane. The program was given by Grace Lertsuksakul, a Northfield exchange student from Thailand, who has lived with Donna and Max Highley for the past year. Grace opened her talk by singing “Getting to Know You,” told

about various aspects of her country, and then answered questions. She arrived in the United States last July and came to Indiana last August. She is returning to Thailand on June 21. Refreshments were served by assistant hostess Donna Russell and Doris Mattern to the following: Kitty Baer, Martha Chamberlain, Martha Weck, Mary Ann Mast, Eileen Weck, Lillian Mattern, Nancy Anderson, Alma DeVore, Helen Dawes, Hilda Wilcox, Lois Haupert, Esther Wagner, Beverly Schnepp, Jane Winebrenner, and Janet Warnock.

Dorais dealership welcomes new service manager by Shaun Tilghman Dorais Chevrolet Buick GMC, located at 473 S. Miami St., in Wabash, recently announced the hiring of Eric Skeens as the dealership’s service manager. Skeens comes to Dorais after working almost eight years as the assistant service manager for the Chevrolet dealership in Gas City. “I was the assistant manager at the other dealership so when this manager position became available I made the move,” he added. “I was really impressed with Dave’s (Dorais) attitude and his commitment to this dealership, as far as the remodel that’s com-

Men

ing this way. He showed me he was willing to put his best foot forward and that’s what really drew me into coming here. “This dealership is kind of unique because a lot of dealerships will have a manager and a service advisor, or assistant manager, but here it’s just me so my job pretty much entails anything and everything involved in service from start to finish. Obviously we have the technicians that repair the vehicle but I basically steer things in the right direction. I manage the overall operation of the shop but it’s with their help – it’s really a team effort.”

Women

Skeens, who was born and raised in Gas City, graduated from Mississinewa High School and attended Ball State University. Prior to his previous position as assistant manager he worked as a quality control manager for a paint manufacturing company in Decatur. When the paint company had to cut back Skeens was laid off, but he already knew the service manager at the Chevrolet dealership and ended up being offered a job. “He offered me a job and I just fell in love with doing it,” Skeens said. “I’ve always worked on motorcycles and I’ve tinkered with cars since I was about 14 years old. I

learned a lot in the eight years I worked at the other dealership, but just knowing cars from having been around them so much has helped get me to this point.” Skeens is taking classes at Ivy Tech for business administration, which is what he studied at Ball State. In his free time, he is the commissioner of and a coach for the youth football league; he also coaches a traveling basketball team and a little league baseball team. He and his wife, Kellie, have two children: a son, Heisman, who is 10, and a daughter, Haleigh, who is nine.

ERIC SKEENS recently joined the Dorais Chevrolet Buick GMC staff as the new service manager. Skeens spent the last eight years working as the assistant service manager at the Chevrolet dealership in Gas City before making the move to the Dorais dealership, located at 473 S. Miami St., Wabash. (photo by Shaun Tilghman)

A QUICK REMINDER that the Troyer Memorial Library is having free “Come to the Library” programs every Friday in June and July from 10:1511:15 a.m. for kids going into sixth grade and younger. They will read books, do crafts and having lots of fun learning about camping. Children going into kindergarten and younger need to have a parent stay with them. The library now has a Facebook page where you can stay up to date on programs and other library happenings. Check us out, search for Troyer Memorial Library and “like” us. T H E LAFONTAINE LITERARY CLUB met for its annual guest luncheon on June 9 at the Women’s Clubhouse, Wabash. “Put Me in the Movies” was the theme of the event enjoyed by 36 members and guests at this Red Carpet event. Tables were decorated with handmade film spools with frames featuring pictures of each member. Other rolls of “film” held sprays of flowers and co-hostesses, Jean Gilbert and Bertie Huffschmidt, used a “slapboard” to get the attention of the ladies in attendance. A fascinating program was presented by John

Corso, Wabash. John is a native of Wabash. After serving in the U.S. Army in the Korean War, he and his brother attended Indiana University then traveled to California to pursue careers in commercial art and acting respectively. Working for Twentieth Century Fox, Mr. Corso had the opportunity to contribute set and scenery designs for such movies as “The King and I”, “Cleopatra”, “Torn Curtain”, and “Topaz”. He also worked on many television programs including 97 episodes of “Perry Mason”, three seasons of “Columbo” and “McMillan and Wife”. Mr. Corso received an Emmy award for his sets for the “Tales of the Gold Monkey” television program and was also nominated for designs for the two different mini-series, “Captains and Kings”, and “Centennial”. Replicating city blocks, county courthouses, streets and houses were all a part of art design for John as he worked for several different studios in Hollywood and on location in England, Italy and other exotic spots. Mr. Corso shared many memories of projects and actors including listening to tap dancing lessons given to

Gregory Peck by Bojangles, Bill Robinson, and watching Gene Kelly rehearse in his old high school sweater. Since retiring from Hollywood and returning to Wabash, John designed and installed the train exhibit at the Wabash County Museum and also designed the Prairie Hen canal boat for the play, “Wait till You get to Wabash” that is also on display at the museum. Club members thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions and get a firsthand look at Mr. Corso’s Emmy, usually kept on his mantel. Literary Club officers for 2011-12 will be president, Jean Gilbert; vice president, Patricia Walters; secretary, Beth Loschiavo; and treasurer, Bertha Huf fschmidt. Program books for next year were distributed and the next meeting will be Sept. 8, with Barbara Swain as hostess, Carolyn Royce, will present the program. THE FOLLOWING WAS SUBMITTED BY CHUCK EPPLEY: A former LaFontaine resident, and a 1957 graduate of LaFontaine High School, passed away suddenly on June 5. Her maiden name was Mary Dee Haggerty.

Raindrops keep fallin’

It’s that time of year to have “the talk” with some of the AYC youth. You know the talk you have with every young person, who lives in Indiana, in the spring/early summer. That’s right, explaining that along with the sunshine comes the rain. There is such

excitement during those first few days of dry sunny weather; and such disappointment when the rain returns and plans for the day must change. It’s as if one day the sunshine is here to stay and the next we wonder if we will see it again. Seasons can sometimes toy with our emotions; seasons of life can too. Have you

ever been in a tough situation and just when it began to improve the bottom seemed to fall out? Or maybe you haven’t felt any relief from the season you are in and it feels as if things will always be this way. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” No

matter what is going on in your life, it may seem as unending as a rainy day, but please remember that seasons don’t last forever, they change, and your situation will too. AYC summer hours are: Mon. - Fri., 3:30 4:30 p.m., Summer Feeding Program, ages 1-18; Wednesday Teen Church, 4:30 - 6 p.m., middle/high school ages; Friday Open Night, 4:30 - 8 p.m., middle/high school ages; Saturday Open Night, 6 - 9 p.m., middle/high school ages. Access Late Nights will be announced, friend us on Facebook.
