Superintendent proposes the closure of W.C. Mills by Ashley Flynn ashley@thepaperofwabash.com Just weeks after the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County announced its decision to close LaFontaine Elementary School, Wabash City Schools Superintendent Jason Callahan proposed a similar plan for his district. In January, the Wabash City School’s board will vote whether or not to close W.C. Mills Elementary School, which holds grades four and five for the whole district. Mr. Callahan presented the plan to reconfigure the district during Monday’s school board meeting. The new plan proposes that fourth grade students move to OJ Neighbours Elementary School and fifth grade students move to Wabash Middle School making the district a three campus district of K-4, 5-8 and 9-12. Before Mr. Callahan’s proposal, EMCOR gave a presentation on their feasibility study on heating and cooling for all three campuses in the district. The group also looked at additional structural repairs W.C. Mills would need as far as windows and doors. According to their study, the project would cost $3.2 million for the updates. OJ and Wabash Middle School need $1,814,000 in updates. It came as no surprise to Mr. Callahan that W.C. Mills is in need of major updates. “About six years ago, I was working on my superintendent’s license, and one of
the projects I had to do was a facility feasibility study,” Mr. Callahan told The Paper. “I had to look at all the buildings in the corporation and how old the facilities are, the present condition of heating and cooling, roofs, paving and all those things that go into maintaining a facility. “The one thing that really came out of that study was that W.C. Mills, which was built in 1927 as Linlawn High School, is in the worst shape in the district. Our buildings and grounds director, Bruce Maxwell, walked me through all this. He explained that he thought, and this was six years ago, Mills had probably 10 years before major renovation needed to occur. “So the last six years, this has been in my mind. This is my third year as superintendent. It’s been something that, when do we make that investment, or when do we make a change.” Mr. Callahan explored other options, such as making OJ a K-5 or K-6 building, but that project would cost $6-8 million. “The option that I’m proposing is much more affordable, and to me, with the enrollment trend, is much more feasible,” he said. “If the enrollment trend changes and starts increasing, we can always look to expand again at OJ.” Also announced at Monday’s board meeting was Jan Roland’s plan to retire. Also retiring is Dave Ingols. Ingols was a custodian, the purchaser for custodial inventory and part of administration for
Lighthouse Mission director retires, receives Key to the City
by Ashley Flynn ashley@thepaperofwabash.com Claire Coyne, director of the Lighthouse Mission, was presented with a Key to the City by Mayor Bob Vanlandingham at last week’s City Council meeting. “Claire Coyne will always be an honorary citizen of Wabash County,” Mayor Vanlandingham said. He also announced that Dec. 15 would become Claire Coyne day in Wabash. After receiving the key, Coyne said, “It’s been an honor.” She was surprised by the accolade, as she came to the meeting upon her son’s request. “I was coming to be Gregory’s mom. He said, ‘Mom, I’m doing a presentation for work, and I’d like if you’re there.” (continued on page 5)
WC MILLS STUDENTS WALK OUT OF SCHOOL at the end of the school day Monday, Dec. 16, just hours before Superintendent Jason Callahan announced plans at the school board meeting to close the school after the 2013-2014 year. Used as a public school since its construction in 1927, the building’s ultimate fate rests with the Wabash City School Board, with a vote to be held in January.

That allows for some dominoes to occur where we can save money in administration as well,” Mr. Callahan explained to The Paper a week before the board meeting. “If we remained under our current system, we would have to add in administration. My fear is then, if we waited a year or two or three… Let’s say we’re not going to do this until that decade comes or until it has to happen. My goal is that if we’re reducing personnel, then it’s
going to be through attrition and not through people losing their jobs. So we have that retirement; we also have a custodial retirement. Those retirements allow us to save in personnel salary.” With Mr. Callahan’s proposed plan, no W.C. Mill’s employees would lose his or her job. They could all transfer. Mr. Mattern, W.C. Mills’ principal would become the new Wabash Middle School principal. And Mr. Bumgardner, Wabash Middle School Principal, would fill the spot Jan Roland is leaving.

Southwood FCA thanks Bechtol’s Grocery Dear editor, The Southwood Fellowship of Christian Athletes would like to thank the gracious people at Bechtol’s Grocery for being consistent supporters of our annual Operation Share. We cannot begin to explain how thankful we are for their willingness to serve alongside our school’s FCA. Their generosi-
ty allows us to impact the community during this Thanksgiving season in the most positive light. Without their support and contribution each year, Operation Share would not be nearly as effective. Thanksgiving is the time of year when we recognize what we are thankful for, and a large part of that is giving to those who
may not be as fortunate as us. Bechtol’s Grocery has enabled us to do so by contributing to our Operation Share. We would just like to extend our thanks to Bechtol’s for caring about this project enough to contribute and make it possible. Sincerely, The Southwood FCA

Modern Impressions owner updates building façade with town grant
by Shaun Tilghman Dawn Patrick, owner of Modern Impressions, is the first business owner to take advantage of the North Manchester Façade Improvement Program recently created by the town council to assist building owners in restoring the exteriors of their downtown establishments. The local program is one of two façade improvement opportunities that are currently ongoing in North Manchester; the other involves a grant the town received through the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). Town officials first applied for the OCRA grant approximately three years ago, but prior to that they had received a design grant, which is when downtown building owners interested in participating could sign-up, according to town manager Dan Hannaford. “We had 17 buildings included in that process originally, but Scott Zook (owner of Zook’s Café) has since dropped out of it because he did a lot of the work on his building himself,” said Hannaford. “I talked to all of the other build-
ing owners just last week and the architect is coming back around Dec. 12 or 13 to finalize everything for the construction phase – bids have to be out in March and the actual construction should then start around May. “The OCRA grant is a one-time deal, so if you didn’t sign up when we were applying for it then you couldn’t get in on it later. But, the town council made the decision that they wanted to help other building owners downtown improve their
buildings, so they had me do some research. I looked at a couple of different communities that had city- or townfunded grants, and borrowed some of the basic concepts from them.” When the town was applying for the OCRA grant three years ago, Patrick did not yet own
The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) is pleased to announce that the North Manchester Historical Society (NMHS) has been named a winner of the 2013 Indiana History Outstanding Event or Project Award for “The Year of the Opera Curtain.” NMHS received the award during IHS’s annual Founders Day event on Dec. 2, at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, located at 450 W. Ohio St. in downtown Indianapolis. The Indiana History Outstanding Event or Project Award is awarded to an organization for an exceptional educational event or history project implemented during the past year, either one-time or ongoing, which relates to that organization’s mission. Examples include reenactments, publications, innovative media usage, exceptional teacher training, and displays or exhibitions. In the process of restoring a 1910 opera curtain in the historical society’s collection, staff discovered it was quite rare. Inspired by this, it planned a year-long celebration that included 14 events, including lectures, historical interpreters’ performances, receptions, musi-

H E A LTH C AR E P L A NS More and more employers are offering their employes the option of directing their health care spending with Flexible Spending Account Plans (FSA), through “Cafeteria” Benefit Plans. And savvy plan participants are directing that spending towards eye care, according to Dr. Farlow, Therapeutic Optometrist. “Most participants know they can use their plan dollars for eye examinations, eyeglasses and contact lenses”, Dr. Farlow said. “But there are many more ways to apply those dollars towards eye care.” For example, plan participants can use their accounts to pay for prescription medications for eye conditions such as dry eye syndrome and glaucoma, even laser vision surgery. Dr. Farlow added that these plans may also be used to extend the benefits of a patient’s vision plan. “A patient who is covered by a separate vision plan, can use flex dollars for the copayment on a covered eye health examination”, Dr. Farlow said. “Or, if their vision plan provides one pair of eyeglasses, the patient can use plan dollars to pay for computer glasses, driving glasses or prescription sunglasses.”

Modern Impressions owner updates building façade... continued from page 3 the hair salon, located at 129 E. Main Street, and the previous owner didn’t get involved in the process. “I knew about the other grant the town was getting, but it was too late for me to participate once I took ownership of the building,” Patrick added. “But then [Town B u i l d i n g Commissioner] Bernie Ferringer was in one day and he mentioned the town’s local grant program,” she continued. “A lot of stuff on the outside of my building was done a long time ago and was definitely in need of some updating, so I went to talk to Dan [Hannaford] about what the grant process entailed and he gave me all of the paperwork.” Any downtown building owner can apply for the town’s Façade Improvement Program, which con-

sists of an 80/20 ratio in terms of the funding, for which the town will contribute a maximum of $8,000. Overall, the guidelines for the town’s program are similar to those of the façade grant from OCRA. “We have guidelines that the building owners have to go by,” Hannaford explained, “which are basically to ensure that the project is historic. The money can be used for painting, tuck pointing, new windows or doors, and even signage in some cases, but the building owner does have to present their plan to our committee for approval. Dawn was the first one to go through the process, which she began on June 6, so she had to figure out what she was going to do and find somebody to do the work.” One big difference between the town’s
grant program and the OCRA grant is that, with the OCRA grant, the architect will put all of that work out for bids with the possibility of there being several contractors involved, but with the town grant, the building owner gets their own bids from contractors. According to Patrick, she had to get two estimates to go along with her written plans and a letter addressed to the town asking for permission. “It really wasn’t a difficult process considering what you get in return,” she said. “They had restrictions on certain things,” Patrick continued, “but it was all clearly outlined and made a lot of sense based on what they’re trying to accomplish with the downtown. Dr. (William) Hankee was actually a big influence when I was deciding

what to do. He went down to Madison, Ind., which has been historically redone, when he designed his building, so he showed me a website with pictures taken in Madison. “Dr. Hankee even pointed out a building that looked very similar to mine. He also mentioned that I have a black front door and some black inside, so he thought it would look nice to incorporate that on the outside of my building as well. I think he was right, and it also gives the building a classy look, which is a reflection of the quality of work we do inside. “I used D&C Construction, from South Whitley, and they tore everything off the front on Oct. 7 and they finished on Nov. 26. The plans included tearing off the existing wood and removing the old sign, then they tuckpointed, power washed and painted. I also got all new windows and had the door for the rental apartment repainted. We were already really excited about it and then we just kept getting more and more compliments once it was finished – I love the way it turned out, I think it looks amazing.” Hannaford added, “I think she did a great job and the contractor she used did a great job. She had talked with Dr. Hankee and I

Really, that’s what we want; we want each building to have a distinct look so that they don’t all look the same, but we also want them to look nice and clean when they’re done.
“It all went very smoothly, and I think the key for anyone else that wants to do it is to have a plan of what they want to do and just make sure it meets historic guidelines. There has already been some more interest in the program – Zooks are going to apply for it to put some windows in their building, I think Matt Mize is going to

get in on it, and the Historical Museum is working on a proposal.” Hannaford went on to say that at this time, they are somewhat evaluating the program because the maximum amount the town will provide is based on the estimates they were hearing for the work to be done through the OCRA grant. Thus, that amount could possibly be increased at some point if necessary. With the $8,000 town limit, Patrick will end up paying for just about half of the project’s total cost. “I really just want to thank the town for approving this and helping me do it,” she explained. “It looks great and I’m really proud of it, so when people ask I make sure to let them know the town helped make it happen.” Patrick concluded by stating that Modern Impressions continues to be a full service salon open six days a week (Monday 1-7 p.m., Tuesday-Thursday 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday by appointment) for your convenience; walk-ins are welcome.

Lighthouse Mission director retires, receives Key to the City...
continued from front page
Then Coyne went on to share a story. “I was thinking yesterday that I should make a list of all those I remember helping and those that have passed away and those who kind of get lost in the cracks. Two ladies came into the store Friday and were sad to know that I was going. I hugged them, and it made me cry because we go a long way back. They’re very poor and have had some crazy struggles that most of you will never experience. “I’d like to think I changed their lives some, but they’ll always be poor and they’ll always be disabled. And what I have done hasn’t gotten them out of their situation. And those were the kind of people I was concerned about when Grant County closed the store. My heart cried then like who’s going to take care of my people. “Those are the folks that I’ll really miss. My hope is that someone will come along and take care of them. Some are very capable, but some just need somebody to love them and take care of them and that’s my concern in leaving. That whoever comes behind me can care for those people because the town is really full of them.” “We don’t often see them, but I’ve known them over the years. And in the quiet moments, when all the work is done and the lights are off and I’m going home, I’m not really going home. I’m going to do something with them. That’s really been my heart over the years.” After directing the Lighthouse Mission for 23 years, Coyne is retiring and moving to Montana to start and direct a children’s afterschool Bible study. A few days after the council meeting, Coyne sat down to discuss her work. Originally from the upper peninsula of Michigan, Claire came to Wabash in
1989. She began working as the store manager at the Wabash Rescue Ministries, a part of the Grant County Rescue Mission, in June of 1991. The building was located on Canal Street where The Access is now. They moved to Wabash Street across from the courthouse in 1993. A new director came to the Grant County Rescue Mission and decided to close the Wabash store in 2004. Coyne, the staff and a new board of directors reopened the thrift store as the Lighthouse Mission with Coyne as executive director. They moved into their current location in March of 2005. “I kind of fell into this accidently,” Coyne said of her position. “I always, as a little kid and going into college, thought I was going to be a missionary teacher. Coming here, I heard of that opportunity. They needed somebody to run the store. I’d never done that before, but I thought I could do that and that would be cool. I like helping people, and I like helping poor people.” Coyne learned the business side of thrift shops over the
years by attending conferences and seminars. She also visited other thrift shops and learned along the way. “And then the ministry part of it, helping people, I’ve always had a heart to help people and do what God wants. Jesus said you’re blessed if you reach out to the poor.” She referred to a passage saying ‘we entertain angels unaware.’ “How do you know that fellow coming in the door isn’t really an angel? We help people and you don’t even realize you’re helping. You don’t know their story or how much it means to them. It’s always been my passion to serve God. Not always to run a thrift store, but that’s how its unfolded over the years. It’s been good.” The thought of retirement has been on Coyne’s mind for a few years. “I’ve been thinking how much longer should I do this. Maybe there’s something else God wants me to do. What other ministry could I do?” Coyne has an aunt in Montana who planted a new idea in her mind. “A missionary couple from Billings (Mont.), about five hours away, would
come and do this after school Bible club. But for the last two years, the gentleman has been ill, and they haven’t been coming. My aunt and some other people involved in that have been praying that God would send someone to come direct that ministry,” Coyne said. She visited the town, Scobey, Mont., in October. “It just kind of connected in my soul, and so my vision and goal in going there is to put together a children’s after school Bible program.” The position is unpaid, and Coyne has plans to work at a local grocery to assist with bills. She plans to leave the Friday after Christmas. “They said because of the weather and the dynamics of the town to come as soon as I could and start the class in midFebruary. I wasn’t expecting to do that. But, it’s a ranching community. Once planting starts, the kids are all busy on the farms and they won’t come. If I wait until spring, they said it would be too late. I have to come now before the ice comes.”
In leaving Wabash, Coyne says she hopes her successor will care for the people as she has. “The girls (her staff) do great, that’s not a problem. But that whoever comes behind me has a heart for the people too. The people come to expect that. God has blessed us because we really have a heart for the people. If you lose sight of that, then there’s really no reason to have a ministry.”

Their three historic downtown buildings –Bender Chapel / Grandstaff-Hentgen, Zook’s Café and the North Manchester Center for History – were beautifully transformed into holiday splendor by Todd Richards, Edward and Martha Miller, and

O.J. NEIGHBOURS HOSTED THEIR ANNUAL Winter Wonderland on Dec. 10. There were Christmas carols around the fire, free hot chocolate at the mercantile, Santa in the church and a story read by Principal Danielle Miller in the old school house. Though the night was chilly, the fire, the cocoa and the visit from Santa warmed the hearts of the students in attendance. Pictured is Principal Miller reading “The Night Before Christmas” to a group of students and their families in the old school house at O.J. Neighbours. (photo by Emily Armentrout)

ing people,” Eiler told The Paper. Math and English weren’t his strongest subjects in school, but he always enjoyed building things. Two teachers who influenced his life were his Ag teacher, Jeff Smith, and former shop teacher at Northfield, Doug Koch. “Smitty showed even when you’re learning something you can have a great time doing it. So I’ve tried to make these shop classes something the kids enjoy so they get excited about taking shop,” said Eiler.
Eiler believes in teaching the students basic construction skills that they can use in the future. Scheduling makes it difficult to cover every construction topic available, but Eiler focuses on teaching students how to build doors and window frames, do basic electrical wiring, and make sound structures. “Not all of these students will go into a shop field,” Eiler said. “Most of these students will go on to college. They all have one thing in common
though; they will be homeowners. If I can teach them basic skills so they don’t need to call a professional whenever something goes wrong, it’ll save them money down the road.” Shop classes, like the music and art departments, are some of the first areas to feel the repercussions of a slouching economy. “With schools cutting shop programs, a lot of people aren’t going to have any choice but to call in professionals because they won’t have had the opportunity to
learn these skills themselves,” added Eiler. Mr. Eiler’s classes have been working on wooden toolboxes with bottom drawers, wooden drinking cups, a cat-
apult, and a small house that students made by scaling a milk carton. As it is difficult to build a house at school, students were given (continued on page 9)

LEIGHTON FIELDS has been taking shop for three years. His favorite project was the CO2 cars they made back in middle school. “The CO2 cars were the easiest project we’ve done and the most fun,” said Fields. Currently, he is taking apart the catapult he built in class. “When the students build bigger projects they aren’t going to take home, I have them take the nails out so we can reuse the wood,” said Mr. Eiler.

the task of taking a smaller object with poor structure, scaling it and building it to be structurally sound. The students design their own truss system to withstand forces of nature like compression, tension, sheering, bending and
fatigue. The two sides have their original truss design and the front and the back are basic door and window frames. Eiler recently had two students decide to take these projects home, so he taught them how to side their structures
WABASH SENIOR MIKE JONES took shop in the 8th grade and again as a senior. His favorite project was making a 6-inch wooden box. He is currently working on a cherry and walnut cup. Shop is one of his favorite classes as a senior. “I might use the skills we learned when I buy a house,” said Jones. Mr. Eiler teaches his students how to do basic electrical wiring along with the wood working skills they learn. “If we can teach them basic skills so they don’t need to call a professional in every time they need something fixed in their homes, then it’s beneficial to them and it’ll save them money,” Mr. Eiler told The Paper.

dents from 7th grade to seniors. As 7th graders, they are introduced to woodshop and the machines. They start out making CO2 cars, which is the most basic project they will have. “The CO2 cars get them comfortable with the machines. They use the band saw, sander and the drill press.” In the 8th

As the students progress in the shop program, they start working on more intricate projects.

Remember the Animal Shelter this holiday season While you are out and about trying to find those perfect gifts for family and friends, remember the animals at the Wabash County Animal Shelter. As a non-profit entity, the shelter, located at 810 Manchester Avenue
in Wabash, depends upon donations for all aspects of its operation. Wet and dry dog, kitten and puppy food is a daily need, as is cat litter. The shelter asks that no donations of dry cat food be given at this

time since there is an abundance of it at the moment. Dog and cat treats give the animals something special to enjoy; toys help keep them active and interested. Donations of bleach, liquid laundry soap (no dry), hand sanitizer, paper towels, mops, brooms, dust pans, and Dawn dish soap help the staff keep the facility clean and the animal healthy. Office supplies such as copy paper, stamps, envelopes and gift cards that can be used to purchase ink cartridges help cover office operations. Donations can be dropped off at the shelter during operation hours or at a donation box located inside Big R. Can’t decide what to donate? Consider donating your time. Volunteers can help with cleaning, ani-
mal walking and play, socialization and special events. Monetary donations are always accepted and can be made to the general fund, or a specific fund. The most com-
mon fund is the spay/neuter fund. That fund allows the shelter to have some of the animals spayed or neutered before they are adopted, which reduces the expense
to adopt as well as helps control the animal population. Contact the shelter at 563-3511 with questions. Pets play such an important role in peoples’ lives. For
those without homes and families this time of year, help make a difference in their lives by helping the Wabash County Animal Shelter care for them.
MRS. SPARLING’S INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP class at Southwood High School recently donated blankets they made to the L.I.F.E Center, Lutheran NICU, Hope House and the Wabash County Sheriff’s Department.

Wabash County Christmas Spirit offers second chance to sign up for gifts by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com When registration to receive gifts through the Wabash County Christmas Spirit program closed on Dec. 15, there were still families in need of assistance for Christmas. In its first year, Spirit organizers were unsure just how many gifts would be donated for distribution. With more than 1000 children already on the list, registration closed as scheduled. Thanks to generous donations from local residents, there will be a second chance for children to be helped by Wabash County Christmas Spirit on Dec. 22 from 1-5 p.m. at Ford Meter Box, building 819. When more than 40 volunteers got together on Sunday, Dec. 15, it became apparent that the organization had
enough items - toys and clothes - to cover those registered. More than 4,000 presents were donated, in addition to generous monetary donations. This prompted Spirit organizers to reach out to more children. They used the money to purchase additional toys and clothing items. Paired with the excess presents already donated, Wabash County Christmas Spirit decided they had enough to opening a second registration. On Sunday, Dec. 22, the day after the first registration’s delivery day, the organization will give away presents to those who did not make the deadline for registration, did not know about the program, and/or cannot be helped by Shop With A Cop. Registration forms can be found at the YMCA, the Wabash County Chamber of
Commerce office, or online at wabashchamber.org. Registration forms can also be filled out at Ford Meter Box during gift pickup on Dec. 22. The program is open to anyone who needs help with Christmas presents for his or her children. If your child is already registered for Spirit gifts or was a part of Shop With A Cop, they are not eligible for the gift delivery on Dec. 22. Wabash County Christmas Spirit could also use the help of volunteers on Delivery Day, Saturday, Dec. 21. Those willing to help are encouraged to show up to Ford Meter Box, building 819 at 8 a.m. The organization thanks the community for their contributions to this program and to the Christmas mornings of the county’s children.

URBANA YOKE PARISH WOMEN’S GUILD met at Wellbrooke for their Christmas party dinner. Committee chair Kitty Baer welcomed everyone and gave the opening prayer. A card for Alma DeVore was signed by everyone. The women voted to make a donation to the Bowen Center Outreach, which is part of the Mental Health Christmas Gift Lift. While the women were finishing their meal, the No Tones from the Yoke Parish sang Christmas carols. They were interrupted by Santa Claus who thought he was in the wrong place, but after being convinced he was in the right place, he joined the No Tones. Santa, with the No Tones as helpers, gave treats to all those present. After the Wellbrooke General Manager spoke to the group, the party concluded with devotional readings, “The Source of the Gift,” from the December Upper Room and “God Waiting” from Our Daily Bread, by Eileen Weck. Those attending were: Kitty Baer, Martha Chamberlain, Helen Dawes, Eileen Weck, Nancy Anderson, Hilda Wilcox, Janet Warnock, Stephanie Warnock, Rena’

Colin and Brad Show leaves Ford Theater roaring with laughter by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com “All right, let’s make up some crap,” Colin Mochrie, Canadian
improv expert said to his partner in comedic crime, Brad Sherwood. The Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood Show came to the Honeywell

Center’s Ford Theater. Friday, Dec. 13. “At no point during the show do Brad and I know what’s going on,” reassured Mochrie. The shenanigans which ensued proved Mochrie to be honest. Both Mochrie and Sherwood are veteran members of the British and American versions of popular TV show Whose Line is it Anyway? The show consists of the crew taking audience suggestions to perform improvised skits. This stop on the Two Man Group Tour makes it the fourth time the duo has performed in Wabash. “Small town,” said Sherwood. “One guy gets on stage and the whole audience knows who he is.” That’s right—audience participation was a huge part of the night. Whether it was

making sound effects on a mic for a sketch or shouting out suggestions, the whole audience was encouraged to participate. Mochrie and Sherwood were introduced by local celebrities Wade Weaver and Monty from 105.9 The Bash. After a quick reminder of some upcoming events at the Honeywell Center, the two made sure to leave the crowd eager for the show. The very first game involved two volunteers from the audience to perform as the set pieces in an unfolding story of Mochrie and Sherwood taking a fishing trip. The volunteers had some issues getting into their one-size-forall costumes for the scene. “Hurry up, Lurch!” Mochrie said encouragingly to one of the volunteers. Soon, the two morphed into various props, such as boats, fishing poles, fish and tackle boxes. Another game included several audience members who were chosen by their claim to being “quickwitted.” Again, thanks to audience suggestions, the duo acted out a scene where Sherwood had to go on a quest with only one weapon, a chicken. If he was successful, the people of his hometown would again be able to jump. While acting out the scene, if Mochrie or Sherwood raised their hand, the volunteers would have to finish their sentences and the

Brad Sherwood (left) and Colin Mochrie (right) improvised and dedicated an R&B song to lucky guest, Pam, a nurse from Peru. (photo by Kalie Ammons) two would have to go with whatever was suggested. This led to the great creation of “half man, half…Egyptian?” One brave volunteer thought it funny to make a bald joke towards Mochrie during the scene. Mochrie hoarded his annoyance with volunteer and periodically brought it up during the show. “All of our volunteers were really great,” said Mochrie. Then, as he made eye contact with the audience member, “Except one.” Another highlight of the evening was a game called “Kick It.” This involved the two having to stop each other during a scene when one thought the other said something that sounded like the title of a song. When one said “kick it,” the other
would have to start rapping about what was just said until the first person stopped it by saying “word.” The scene was set in the style of a Western film with a neuroscientist as its main character. Mochrie took some of this time to comically torture Sherwood by having him improvise a rap for an uncomfortable amount of time. However, Sherwood impressed the audience by continuing to find rhymes until Mochrie gave in. Continuing with the music theme, the two brought up a single volunteer, a nurse named Pam, to the stage. After asking her about her various interests, hobbies and nicknames (which included “Pammy” and “Hula”) the two composed Pam her very own R&B song.

Pam left the stage blushing as she was escorted back to her seat, next to her daughter, by Mochrie. The two shamelessly flirted as Sherwood tried to avert his eyes. Then, the show brought an element of danger to the stage. The duo would perform a Mexican drama while blindfolded, barefooted and at the mercy of 100 set mousetraps. The scene itself was lost in the suspense as the two tip-toed around the mousetraps. It didn’t take long, however, before toes were caught in the cruel embrace of the rodent deathtrap. After taking a few good snaps, Mochrie decided to make it a war. He began throwing the traps randomly in Sherwood’s direction, managing to hit him a few times. Eventually, Mochrie removed his blackedout goggles to take better aim at Sherwood’s crotch. A few successful hits later, Sherwood removed his own goggles to catch Mochrie in the act. The finale consisted of the two singing the events of the evening to tune of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” Mochrie made a point to make another colorful jab at the volunteer who made the bald joke earlier in the evening. Sherwood was still hurting over the mousetrap incident, and made sure to let Mochrie know it. The crowd gave the duo a standing ovation. In 90 minutes, the hilarious duo was able to entertain a full house and give them something to talk about for days afterwards.

Squires suffer first loss by Gary Andrews The Manchester boys’ varsity basketball team took a 3-0 record in to Thursday night against Warsaw, suffering their first loss of the season, 42-35. The Squires were in control early. After trailing 2-0, Clayton Petrie hit back-toback three pointers to give Manchester a 6-2 lead before Warsaw knotted the score. Claudell Dickantone would put the Squires up again on an offensive rebound bucket, but the athletic Tigers would score the next four. With 1:00 to go, Dickantone found the range again, tying the score at 10,
which is where the first quarter ended. Warsaw would score the first five points of the second quarter to take a 1510 lead, when Dickantone brought them back with two buckets to make it 1514. With some minor foul trouble brewing for the Squires, the Tigers took advantage, scoring the next 8 points to open a 2314 gap. Clayton Petrie would make things exciting, draining a three with .03 left to make the halftime score 23-17. Dickantone would hit a free throw for the first point of the third quarter, but the Tigers answered with two buckets to
make it 27-18. Braydon Sewell would hit a free throw and the Squires got a bucket from Dickantone to cut the Warsaw lead to 27-21. Clayton Petrie would sandwich a bucket between two Warsaw buckets and the Squires trailed 31-23 with a quarter to go. The Squires would make things interesting to start the fourth quarter, when Petrie drained a three pointer, and was followed by a layup bucket from C a m e r o n Brandenburg, to make it 31-28 just a minute into the quarter. Warsaw would respond, scoring five
straight before another Petrie three made it 36-31 with 4:30 remaining. At that point the Squires went cold, while the Tigers went on another 5-0 run to extend their lead to 41-31 with 2:24 left. Chase Fierstos would hit, and the Squires got a bucket from Bailey Ness with time running down for the 42-35 final. Leading the Squires was Clayton Petrie with 17 points. Claudell Dickantone added 11, Chase Fierstos 2, Cameron Brandenburg 2, Bailey Ness 2, and Braydon Sewell 1. The junior varsity led for three quarters

Owens Corning-Thermafiber donates another $1000 to the Wabash County United Fund
OWENS CORNING-THERMAFIBER DONATED AN ADDITIONAL $1,000 to the Wabash County United Fund through the Owens Corning Foundation Giving Grant. This brings the company’s total donation for the year to nearly $7,600. Roger Rapp (right), 49-year Owens CorningThermafiber employee, presented the check to Steve Johnson (center) and Daryl Evans (left), both of the Wabash County United Fund. (photo by Ashley Flynn) There’s more than one way to donate to the Wabash County United Fund, as is demonstrated by the employees of Owens Corning-Thermafiber. Even after closing this year’s in-house fund drive, Owens Corning-Thermafiber keeps finding ways to help the United Fund. Roger Rapp, 49-year veteran of Owens C o r n i n g Thermafiber, is shown presenting a check for an additional $1,000 to the 2013 United Fund Campaign. The funds came from an Owens Corning Foundation Charitable Giving Grant, according to Alan Siepker, Human Resources Manager.
“Many companies have Charitable Foundations. Local employees can apply for grants through those foundations and put the money to use through local charities such as the Wabash County United Fund.” “Corporations often establish foundations to benefit the communities in which their plants or facilities are located. Foundation grants are excellent sources of funds, and a wonderful way to put corporate dollars to work within the community,” said Steve Johnson, Executive Director of the Wabash County United Fund. The most common way for companies to
donate to the Wabash County United Fund is by simply writing a check, according to Johnson. However, the United Fund can also accept a pledge whereby the company is invoiced a percentage of the pledge on a monthly or quarterly basis throughout the year. United Fund Board president Daryl Evans said, “I encourage all corporations to make a donation or pledge and take advantage of the charitable giving tax benefits.” In addition, the United Fund encourages companies and organizations to provide opportunities for their employees to donate through their

Indiana State Police car struck by semi trailer
G R A N T COUNTY – An Indiana state trooper narrowly escaped serious injury after a semi trailer on I-69 near the 267-mile marker struck his police car. The preliminary crash investigation by Master Trooper Gary Shenefield revealed that Trooper Chuck Meyer was investigating a property damage crash in the median of northbound I-69 near the 267-mile marker. Trooper Meyer had his 2013 fully marked Dodge Charger police car parked in the median. The emergency lighting on the police car was activated, warning
northbound drivers to reduce the speed of their vehicles. Trooper Meyer was out of his police car speaking with the driver of the original property damage crash, when a second car slid off into the median. As Trooper Meyer was checking on the driver of the slideoff, a semi-tractor slid off the road into the median. Trooper Meyer was forced to dive over the median cable barrier so he would not be run over by the semi-tractor. The semi-tractor was able to get back on the interstate without hitting anything. It continued north-
bound on I-69. As Trooper Meyer was reporting the actions of the semi-tractor to the Indiana State Police Regional Dispatch Center via portable radio; a 2007 Freightliner semi-tractor pulling a box trailer slid into the median. Trooper Meyer, who was still standing outside of his police car, was forced again to take evasive action to avoid being struck by the second semi-tractor. The Freightliner, driven by Gabane Abdi, 29, St. Cloud, Minn., drove between the trooper’s car and the median cable barrier. The semi’s box
trailer struck Trooper Meyer’s police car. Neither Trooper Meyer nor anyone else was hit. Trooper Meyer was transported to a local hospital with pain to the right side of his body. The injury was sustained while avoiding both semi-tractors. No one else was injured. Abdi was hauling auto parts for Pam Transport based in Pontipown, Ariz. Trooper Randy McPike completed an inspection on the semi–tractor, trailer, and required paperwork. There were no violations found. Abdi was
cited for reckless driving. Neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed
to this crash. I-69 was wet and snow covered at the time of this crash. Troopers had worked numerous
crashes and slideoffs prior to Trooper Meyer’s police car being struck. When road conditions are wet, icy, or snow cov-
ered drivers should reduce the speed of their vehicle and increase the following distance to other vehicles.

THE PAPER

December 18, 2013
Superintendent proposes the closure of W.C. Mills... continued from front page district would save $100,000 in salaries because those positions would not need to be replaced with new employees. Also, the district would save approximately $150,000 in capital projects, as well as the $3.2 million needed to update W.C. Mills. That money could be used for other projects such as expanding the Middle School cafeteria, which is a project that has been discussed for several years. “With all that being said, I don’t want this to be just about finances. Because maybe that’s what started the conversation, but one of the things we’ve also looked at is how do we do a better job at transitioning our kids to elementary to middle school to high school,” Mr. Callahan said. “How we have it now, kids go from W.C.
Mills as fifth graders and then they just step right into middle school. They go from a self contained classroom to rotating to six or seven teachers a day.” The proposed plan puts fifth and sixth graders in one hallway of the Middle School and the seventh and eighth graders upstairs. “Fifth grade will stay as elementary. They will stay selfcontained with one teacher, and we will begin transitioning in sixth grade rotating classes. The game plan is to have different dismissals so they aren’t in the hallways together. Fifth and sixth grades will eat lunch together. I feel like it will be a better transition for our kids moving from the elementary setting to a more secondary setting,” he said. Mr. Callahan and other Wabash City
Schools representatives visited Bluffton, Ind., where they’ve had a 5-8 middle school for several years. Last year, Bluffton-Harrison Middle School was an A School. “So it is possible, and it can be very successful. They talked a lot about that transition piece with bringing upper elementary kids who needed to be treated like elementary kids, and then helping them transition into less and less structure so that they’re more responsible for getting to class on time and doing their homework,” said Mr. Callahan. Some parents have voiced their concerns about the plan. “Parents have asked, ‘is my fifth grader going to be spending time with eighth graders’ and will my fifth grader to go school dances,’ and
no, that’s not the case.” “Currently, we allow sixth graders to go to middle school dances, and we’ve been talking about that. Maybe we could do events for fifth and sixth graders, not a dance, but like a Halloween party in the fall. And then after that party, seventh and eighth graders can have a dance,” Mr. Callahan continued. “I really like what Bluffton did. At the last dance of the year, they allow sixth graders to attend. So it’s sort of that transition again.” Another benefit to reconfiguring the district is reducing teachers’ need to go between schools. Currently, the elementary schools share band, art and music teachers. “Those teachers could stay in one building. That would
give our kids more time with related arts. Also, we currently operate with two nurses—one at OJ full-time and one at the middle/high school full-time.” The librarian at W.C. Mills fulfills nursing duties for that building. The future of the W.C. Mills school building has yet to be decided. If it closes as a school, Mr. Callahan hopes to lease it out for at least a year to see how the reconfiguration goes. “We are not looking to quickly get rid of it. I think I would prefer to potentially lease it,” he said. The Wabash City School’s district last reconfigured over a decade ago with the closing of Miami Elementary School. “When that closed, we went from having community schools, so it really depended on you lived, where you went to school.
But since that closure, every kid went to OJ. We no longer have community schools,” Mr. Callahan said. In reference to another recent school closing in the county, Mr. Callahan continued, “So even in LaFontaine, I mean that’s their community. But for W.C. Mills, my kids went to W.C. Mills because that’s where all our fourth and fifth graders went. It’s not so much that community school feeling anymore that it used to be.” With the closing of one school, and the likely closing of a second school in the county, the thought of consolidating the two districts comes to mind. “We’re already sharing services and partnering on a lot of things. I foresee at a district level, those things will continue to be shared and con-
tinue to look towards consolidation. My hope is that we would be able to sit down and look at what’s best for the kids. If that’s consolidation, then that’s consolidation.” “With current enrollment trends, I can’t imagine that we would not. But what’s that look like? That’s left to be determined. In talking with Dr. Weaver, that’s not tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t start talking about that and how that works. Again, let’s build out what’s going to be best for our kids and then go from there.” Mr. Callahan will hold a public discussion Thursday, Dec. 19 at 6 p.m. in the Middle School auditorium. He will discuss strategic planning for the district as well as the reconfiguration plan. The community is invited to come with questions.

tribes that lived in the deserts of the American Southwest called the coyote God’s dog. The Aztec Indians of Mexico deified and worshiped
the coyote. Other Indian tribes, however, called the coyote trickster and a mischief-maker. American settlers in the Northeast
called the coyote “bush wolf,” in Minnesota “brush wolf,” and in the plains west of the Mississippi River the coyote was called
“prairie wolf.” I grew up in the American plains, in northwest Iowa, and never saw a coyote there, nor did I ever hear one. I have lived in Indiana for nearly fifty years now and I have seen and heard coyotes in this state. Coyotes are predators, hunters, and they learned quickly that sheep, chickens and even young calves were easy prey. To early American settlers this put them in the same class with wolves. They even looked like wolves, just smaller editions. They were shot, trapped and poisoned. There were bounties on them. Coyotes survived, however, and their present range is listed as Vermont and southeastern Canada west and south through the northern half of Pennsylvania, across Ohio, into Kentucky, nearly all of Missouri, the western half of Arkansas, the northwest corner of Louisiana, all of Texas and Mexico, west to the Pacific Coast and north through all but the most northern part of Alaska. Did it always occur over that broad range? A book of mammals of North America I have which was published many
years ago states “the early range included Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin.” I lived in upstate New York from 1957 to 1965 and a widely debated subject among hunters and other outdoors men then was whether coyotes lived in the Adirondacks or not. After I moved away a friend in New York sent me a magazine article, dated 1975, which stated “coyotes have appeared (in the Adirondacks) in recent years.” The coyote is an adaptable animal. Efforts to exterminate it have been as intensive and as wide spread as efforts to exterminate wolves, but it has survived. Its current range is as broad, perhaps even broader, than it was in pioneer days. Coyotes usually hunt during the night. But if severe weather or something else prevents their usual nocturnal activity, or if hunting is easier during the day, they’ll hunt when it is light. They eat fresh meat that they kill themselves and they also eat carrion. They eat wild fruit and berries as well as grapes and other cultivated fruit. They raid town garbage dumps. Like wolves, coy-
otes are sometimes in packs, but the packs are small, most often single families. Many coyotes live solitary lives except when they’re mated. I’ve never seen coyotes in a pack. Whenever I’ve seen a coyote it’s been a loner. The usual den for a coyote is a burrow. Sometimes they dig their own, but more often, they take the den of some other animal. They’ll enlarge the burrow of another animal, if necessary, for their family. Coyotes have also had and raised their families in culverts and other pipes that were large enough and dry. Whether the range of coyotes has grown or not is debatable, but they have extended their habitat. They now not only live in the wild, they live in alleyways of Los Angeles and some other cities. If your home is in a city suburb and you put food on the back step for a stray dog, your stray dog just might be a coyote. Have your garbage can overturned and the contents scattered? Don’t be sure it was done by the neighbor’s dog. God’s dog or trickster, the coyote, it seems, is with us to stay and with it, a bit of wildness.

GOD’S ALL COMMUNITY CHOIR will be performing their Christmas program in the North Manchester area t h r o u g h o u t December. Kelly Iler, a senior at Manchester University, directs the choir, which is made up of members from seven local churches. Upcoming dates include: Dec. 22: 6 p.m. – Salem United Methodist Church. The public is invited to attend any performance. MOST WONDEREFUL TIME OF THE YEAR: I am reminded of the story I heard many years ago of the children’s Christmas play. At the appropriate time, all the lights on stage were to be turned off - with the exception of one light illuminating Jesus in the manger. The young lad in charge of lighting mistakenly switched off ALL of the lights. In the total darkness, there was an awkward silence… until one of the young wise men said in a loud stage whisper that could be heard by everyone, “HEY, YOU SWITCHED OFF JESUS!” With the
increasing secularization of our society and the well-documented war on Christmas, I pray that we are those who are not guilty of “switching off Jesus.” May we all remember the Reason for the season: The One who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He came into the very world He created, but the world didn’t recognize Him. He came to His own people, and even they rejected Him. But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. So the Word became human and made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. (John 1:9-14, NLT) Merry CHRISTmas to all and a blessed New Year!

THANK YOU to everyone who helped with the Christmas in Roann benefit on Dec. 6. Thank you to the youth and Pastor Keenen from the Roann Christian Church for helping to hang the Christmas banner and set up tables and chairs for the soup supper. Thank you to all the churches for providing the soup and sandwiches for the benefit meal. It was well attended and people were very generous in giving to Rick and Mary Hollingshead and son. We were glad that Rick and Mary and their extended family were able to come to the meal. Please keep them in your prayers. Mary recently had a kidney removed due to her cancer
community on Feb. 15. More details will be published later. The Lions Club voted to give a donation to the Sigma Phi Gamma Sorority to make Christmas craft gifts for nursing home residents. Rick Morris had checked the Internet for the price of bleachers, which the Lions Club is considering to buy. They range in price from $100 to $1500 for lowprofile four row seating. Because they would not be very high, there would be less concern of someone falling and getting hurt. The club feels there should be a fundraiser to help with the cost of buying bleachers. The Lions Club members and spouses will have a night out at a local restaurant in the month of January. Members present at the meeting were: Keith Ford, Don Everest, Donna Harman, Russell Krom, Rick Morris and Danny Shoemaker. THE ROANN U N I T E D M E T H O D I S T Church will be hosting their annual

Indiana ranks 31st in protecting kids from tobacco Fifteen years after the 1998 state tobacco settlement, Indiana ranks 31st in the nation in funding programs to prevent kids from smoking and help smokers quit, according to a national report released Dec. 9 by a coalition of public health organizations. Indiana currently spends $5.8 million a year on tobacco prevention and cessation programs, which is 7.3 percent of the $78.8 million recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Other key findings for Indiana include: •Indiana this year will collect $536.9 million in revenue from the 1998 tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, but will spend just 1.1 percent of it on tobacco prevention programs. This means Indiana is spending a penny of every dollar in tobacco revenue to fight tobacco use. •Indiana’s current funding for tobacco prevention represents a 38 percent cut since last year, from $9.3 million to $5.8 million, and an overall funding cut of 64 per-
cent since 2008. •The tobacco companies spend $271.7 million a year to market their products in Indiana. This is 47 times what the state spends on tobacco prevention. “This report highlights some very disturbing trends regarding the reduction of tobacco use in Indiana,” said Dan Gray, Director of Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition. “Not only are we investing a small portion of CDC recommended levels for tobacco prevention and cessation, funding for these programs are jeopardized due to the recent ruling that will reduce Indiana’s funding levels even more because of the state not enforcing the non-participating manufacturers’ clause of the Tobacco Master S e t t l e m e n t Agreement.” The annual report on states’ funding of tobacco prevention programs, titled “A Broken Promise to Our Children: The 1998 State Tobacco Settlement 15 Years Later,” was released by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids,
American Heart A s s o c i a t i o n , American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, American Lung Association, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights. The report assesses whether the states have kept their promise to use a significant portion of their settlement funds – estimated to total $246 billion over the first 25 years – to fight tobacco use. The states also collect billions more each year from tobacco taxes. Indiana once had a highly successful tobacco prevention program that helped reduce smoking among high school students by 36 percent since 2001, to 18.1 percent in 2011. Despite that progress, funding for the program has been cut multiple times in recent years and Indiana is now spending barely 7 percent of what the CDC recommends for tobacco prevention. In addition, Indiana’s cigarette tax of 99.5 cents per pack ranks 32nd in the nation and is below the national
average of $1.53 per pack. “Indiana is going in the wrong direction,” Gray said. “The current state of tobacco prevention and cessation threatens to reverse the progresses we have made in Indiana when these efforts were better funded. Unless Indiana’s leaders reverse course and restore funding for tobacco prevention, the state will pay a high price with more kids smoking, more lives lost to tobacco and higher tobaccorelated health care costs.” In Indiana, 18.1 percent of high school students smoke, and 6,300 more kids become regular smokers each year. Tobacco annually claims 9,700 lives and costs the state $2.1 billion in health care bills. There is more evidence than ever before that tobacco prevention and cessation programs work to reduce smoking, save lives and save money. Florida, which has a well-funded, sustained tobacco prevention program, reduced its high school smoking rate to just 8.6 percent in

Ervin showed his first house on Monday, Dec. 9. “It went well,” said Ervin. “I’m looking forward to a lot more of them.” Premier Properties is a member of the Realtor Association of Central Indiana, Indiana Association of Realtors, and the National Association of Realtors.

2013, far below the national rate. One study found that during the first 10 years of its tobacco prevention program, Washington state saved more than $5 in tobacco-related hospitalization costs for every $1 spent on the program. “There are proven methods for reducing the burden of tobacco, and we have seen the positive results of those methods here in Wabash County,” Gray said. In the last five years, according to the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, Wabash County has decreased the amount of tobacco users from 30 percent to 20 percent. “It is critical for our state to adopt and invest in

Ivy Tech Foundation reports success as College’s 50th anniversary year comes to a close Donors in Kokomo Region support student success with nearly $100,000 in fundraising KOKOMO- Ivy Tech Community College is wrapping up the yearlong celebration of its 50th Anniversary and the Ivy Tech Foundation reports the Kokomo Region has collected nearly $100,000 to support student success through fund-raising events and private donations in the celebration year. “Through the support of generous donors – private individuals, companies, economic development groups, healthcare organizations and city governments, Ivy Tech Kokomo Region has raised $97,630 in 2013,” said Kelly Karickhoff, executive director of Resource Development
for Ivy Tech Foundation Kokomo. “All six counties in our region – Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Tipton and Wabash – participated in the 50th anniversary celebration in Indianapolis in September that raised money to support scholarships, laboratories and programming throughout the region.” “We want to especially thank Don and Louise Thomas, retired Kokomo businesspeople, for their 50th anniversary leadership gift of $25,000 to endow the Don and Louise Thomas Family Scholarship,” Karickhoff added. “And, as people consider their end-of-the-year donations, we encourage anyone who values the work Ivy Tech is doing to change lives and make Indiana
great to consider a contribution to the College. Every gift, no matter how big or small, can make a difference in the future of our students and our state.” Kokomo Region supporters of the state celebration in September included: Chrysler Foundation City of Kokomo City of Logansport City of Peru City of Rochester City of Tipton Tipton Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation City of Wabash Coca Cola Bottling Company Cole Hardwood Don and Louise Thomas Family Duke Energy E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash First Farmers Bank & Trust

Easy ways to enjoy a flu-free winter Smoking can disable mechanisms in your breathing passageways that serve as natural repellants to the flu. These include the hairs on the lungs that brush away contaminants. Smoking also can create holes in the lining of lower air passages, and such holes can make people more susceptible to illness, including the flu. Smokers who get the flu typically find that the flu further complicates their ability to breathe. *Avoid sick people. When those around you are sick, it is best to keep your distance, especially when those people have the flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that people with the flu can spread it to others up to six feet away. Flu viruses are spread mainly by droplets of bodily fluids expelled
during coughing, sneezing and even talking. This is why doctors recommend that anyone who has the flu stay home from work or school until they are fully recovered. *Be especially cautious when pregnant. According to Dr. Cameron Wolfe, an infectious disease specialist at Duke University Medical Center, women who are pregnant are at a higher risk of complications and even death from influenza. Doctors don’t fully understand why, but many feel that because the flu can compromise a woman’s ability to breathe well, this makes it difficult for oxygen to be passed on to the fetus. Pregnant women should speak with their obstetricians about the safety of the flu shot. *Get plenty of rest
and good food. Adequate sleep and a healthy diet can bolster your immune system. It’s important to stay hydrated, eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and prioritize getting a good night’s sleep each night. *Beware of homeopathic remedies. Always check with a doctor before adding any natural remedies to your flu-fighting repertoire. While some supplements like elderberry syrup, zinc and oscillococcinum can mitigate symptoms of the flu, there’s no solid evidence that these items offer any preventative value. Homeopathic remedies also can interfere with medications or may be dangerous to a developing fetus, so do not take these substances without first checking with a doctor.

Spending significant time in close proximity to others indoors can make people more susceptible to the flu. As a result, winter, when people typically spend more time indoors than outdoors, is often dominated by the sniffling and sneezing synonymous with the flu. But men and women can take steps to protect themselves from the flu this season. * Get a flu shot. Some people prefer to avoid getting a flu shot because they want to build up their natural immunities or they believe the shots can make them sick. But most flu shots contain an inactive virus that will not make you sick, and will only trigger your body’s immune system response to a foreign invader. It can take a couple of weeks for full immunity to develop, so it’s possible to still get sick even after a flu shot has been administered. Also, a flu shot does not guarantee recipients won’t get the flu. People can still get the flu after receiving a flu shot, as it may be another strain of the virus. But flu shots are largely effective. *Quit smoking. Smoking cigarettes and cigars can affect the immune system and also compromise the body in a number of different ways.

Lady Norse use strong second half to top Knights by Gary Andrews Just two weeks before the county tourney, the Southwood and Northfield girls went to battle for metro bragging rights, with the Lady Norse coming out on top 61-46. The emotions were high on the court and in the crowd as anticipated, with each team hoping their matchup would go as planned. Southwood got off to a hot start on the back of freshman Brooke Elliott, who scored the first 7 points of the game as the Knights led 7-0 with just over four minutes to play. Arie Kennedy would break the ice for the Norse with a bucket that started a 9-0 run to grab the lead. Sidney Reed would connect before a Katie Stephan three tied the game, with Kylie Echard putting the Norse ahead. Amy Bowman would grab an offensive rebound and put it back for a bucket to tie the score at 9.The
Lady Knights then take a 10-9 lead on a Haley Heath free throw. Payton Thomson would connect from behind the arch before the quarter ended and the Norse led 12-10 after the first stop.

half. Northfield would come out clicking in the third quarter, getting buckets from Echard and Kennedy to quickly go up 33-25. After an Elliott bucket, Reed would go to work again, hitting three straight to increase the Northfield lead to 3927. The Knights, refusing to give in, got buckets from Harnish and Bowman to make it 39-31 before Payton Thomson hit back-toback shots, making it 43-31. Emilie Harnish would get the final bucket of the quarter as Northfield led 4333. The two teams would trade bucket for bucket in the fourth until the 4:29 mark.

THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
December 18, 2013
USDA Farm Storage Loans available INDIANAPOLIS – Julia A. Wickard, State Executive Director for the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds farm-
ers that Farm Storage Facility Loans (FSFL) are available through FSA. “Farm Storage Facility Loans are a
great investment for producers who are at the mercy of commercial storage facilities,” said Wickard. “Many facilities
charge premium rates nationwide and sometimes availability is a concern when these facilities are at maximum capacity.”
POET WISHES YOU A
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
We look forward to many more prosperous years with North Manchester.
The Farm Service Agency offers lowinterest loans to grain producers to build new or upgrade existing storage facilities and permanent drying and handling equipment. Loan opportunities include, but are not limited to: -New conventionaltype cribs or bins, oxygen-limiting and other upright silotype structures, and flat-type storage structures designed for whole grain storage. -Perforated floors, safety equipment, quality improvement equipment, electrical equipment and concrete components considered essential for a fully functional storage facility. -Remodeling exist-
ing storage facilities to increase storage capacity. “Producers with onfarm storage facilities have more control when it comes to marketing their crop,” said Wickard. “The added control and flexibility allows producers to sell their crop at optimal times when prices are more favorable.” Farm storage facility loans must be approved prior to site preparation, equipment purchase or construction, and must be secured by a promissory note and security agreement. The new maximum principal loan amount is $500,000. Participants are required to provide a down payment of 15 percent, with
CCC providing a loan for the remaining 85 percent of the net cost of the eligible storage facility and permanent drying and handling equipment. Additional security is required for poured-cement openbunker silos, renewable biomass facilities, cold storage facilities, hay barns and for all loans exceeding $50,000. New loan terms of seven, 10 or 12 years are available depending on the amount of the loan. Interest rates for each term rate may be different and are based on the rate, which CCC borrows from the Treasury Department. Contact your local FSA office for more information on Farm Storage Facility Loans or visit the web at www.fsa.usda.gov.
Wyatt/ Smith garner first team all state football honors
by Gary Andrews The AP has released their 2013 ”AllState” teams with a pair of Southwood players garnering First Team. In class 1A, Southwood’s Brett Wyatt was selected as First Team offensive line, while team mate Jake Smith was selected First Team defensive line. The Indiana Football Coaches (IFCA) also selected Wyatt as AllState. The duo helped lead the Knights to an 8-4 record and a birth in the sectional championship game. Players from the county being selected ”Honorable Mention” were Robbie Cole of Southwood (QB), Nathan Hollars of Southwood (RB), Danny Goff of Southwood (WR), Nick Rebholz of Southwood (LB). Thad Miller of Manchester was selected Honorable Mention linebacker in 2A.
