Yarger raises nearly $3,000 for Shop With a Cop program Wabash FOP #83 rewards fourth grader as honorary member

by Brent Swan After standing outside of WalMart for three days, 10-year old Brenton Yarger was able to collect and donate nearly $3,000 to the Wabash County Shop With a Cop program. The program allows children to shop for Christmas gifts, $100 worth of toys, clothing, and other necessary items, while being accompanied by a Wabash County Police Officer. “I raised $2,933.04,” Yarger said of his fundraising efforts. “On the last day, I was able to make over $700.” Despite spending four hours per day in less than ideal weather conditions and a brief illness, Yarger said he feels his efforts were a success. “I am really happy to help all the children,” Yarger said. “Without the Shop With a Cop

program, a lot of them might have had a sad Christmas.” At the Dec. 15 event, officers from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #83 presented Yarger with a plaque, naming him an honorary member of the FOP. “That was cool,” Yarger said of the award. “I got the plaque, a police shirt from Chad (Galligan), and an Indianapolis Colts jacket from Steve Hicks from the sheriff ’s department.” “What Brenton has done for the Shop With a Cop program is unbelievable,” Wabash City Police Officer Chad Galligan said. “What he has done, as a ten-year-old kid, is nothing short of extraordinary. His primary concern is helping others, which is something you don’t see too often, especially someone as young as he is.” Yarger was also featured in a segment on the Fort Wayne Channel 15 news.

BRENTON YARGER, a 10-year old fourth grader, was presented a plaque Dec. 15 naming him as an honorary member of the Wabash Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #83 for his fundraising efforts with the Shop With a Cop program. Yarger stood in front of WalMart for three days collecting nearly $3,000 in donations. (photo provided) “I wasn’t nervous,” Yarger said when asked about his television interview. “I had been on TV before, but I hadn’t spoken into a microphone.”

Despite all the success, Yarger is already focusing on his plans for next year’s fundraising efforts. “I want to raise over $3,000,

so I can help another child,” Yarger said. “I think I might get a bell so I can get people’s attention a little better.”

Wabash County Animal Shelter will begin Foster Program Jan. 1

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.co m In 2011, nearly 49 percent (728 of 1,501) of the animals that came to the Wabash County Animal Shelter were euthanized. In an effort to save more animals, the shelter is starting a foster care program that will begin Jan. 1. Currently, good adoptable dogs can stay in the shelter for up to a month, but the problem is space. They only have 14 cages and kennels for the dogs. “You don’t want to put a good dog down just because you don’t have room,” Pat Lynn from the Animal Shelter told The Paper of Wabash. “This (the foster program) will enable us to buy some time for them,” she said. Qualified foster parents will provide temporary care for cats or dogs in the family’s home. They will be required to feed, socialize, medicate, groom, and if needed, train the animal. “A foster program enables us to take an adoptable animal out

of this situation and into a home where they can be more socialized and maybe potty trained,” said Lynn. This is all at no cost to the family, as the shelter will provide a subsidy for the food and any medications required. Foster parents will be asked to keep a log of the animal’s progress. Animals can stay with the foster family for a short period, one to five days, or long term depending on the situation. Pregnant animals will require a longer stay until the babies are born and weaned from their mother. The shelter prefers the foster parents keep the animal inside with the family instead of outside on a chain. To sign up for the program, applicants must fill out an extensive Foster Volunteer Application form available at the shelter. The shelter takes into consideration the people and other animals in the home and how the family has taken care of those animals.

If the applicant is selected, they come to an agreement with the shelter as to what type of animals and how many would be good in the foster home. “We’re not going to put an animal in there that they don’t want in their home,” said Lynn. “We don’t want to take advantage of people. We’re not going to load someone up with 10 dogs. And if it doesn’t work out, they can bring it back. It’s just a nice way for their lives to be saved.” The shelter hopes to have at least 20 volunteers sign up for the program. “That doesn’t mean all 20 would have an animal all the time. It’s just so that I’d have that variety all the time. I would have that many people available if I needed them,” said Lynn. Lynn also says this is a good opportunity for someone who may not want the long-term commitment of a pet or can’t afford it. “They won’t be out any costs on their own. And this gives them a way to contribute back,” she said.

J & K Mega Pet has also been a big room saver for the animal shelter. They get their cats (and sometimes puppies) from the shelter and adopt them out there for the same price as the shelter. All the money is then returned to the shelter. “Some people just don’t want to come to the animal shelter. They say it’s too depressing,” said Lynn. “They (J & K) do not deal with breeders anymore. So that is tremendous help to us.” The foster program will attempt save orphaned animals, but the problem of strays seems to be a never-ending cycle. Out of the 1,501 animals that came into the shelter in 2011, 590 were adopted. When someone adopts an animal, they sign an agreement that says they will get the animal spayed or neutered, but Lynn admits that sometimes they slip by without doing so. “It doesn’t happen often, but more than we would like because we definitely do not want these animals breeding,”

said Lynn. “If people were more responsible pet owners, then this would cut down on how many we have here and how many have to be put to sleep.” Interested volunteers should call the shelter at 563-3511 for forms to be sent to them, or stop by the shelter at 810 Manchester Avenue to pick up the forms.

Contest winners receive cash for quitting smoking

Three former smokers have a little extra spending money this holiday season after being randomly selected as winners of the 2012 Quit Now Indiana Contest. Mary Stackhouse, Kokomo, received $2,500, Sean Terrell, Jasonville, received $1,500 and Carla Reel,

Lafayette, was awarded $1,000 for staying tobacco-free for 31 days during the month of October. All three winners participated in the Quit Now Indiana Contest designed to encourage Hoosiers using tobacco products to make an attempt to quit.

“Ending tobacco addiction is difficult,” said State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin, M.D. “While the winners received a cash incentive, every contestant who made a quit attempt needs to be applauded for their efforts.” The quit contest is an annual promotion from the Tobacco Prevention and C e s s a t i o n Commission (TPC) at the Indiana State Department of Health and INShape Indiana as part of the tobacco prevention program for the state. The prizes were donated by St.Vincent Health and MDwise Hoosier Alliance. According to the 2010 U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, there is biological evidence that suggests each cigarette is doing immediate damage and the sooner the smoker quits the better. About 10,000 Hoosiers die each year from tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke. For every smokingrelated death, another 20 Hoosiers live with a smoking-related dis-

Those who stop smoking dramatically reduce their risk for heart attacks, asthma attacks, cancers and other diseases. “Quitting smoking is one of the best things these winners can do for their health. We are proud to be a part of their success. They are going to enjoy the lifestyle benefits of feeling healthier and

living longer and happier lives,” said Ty Sullivan, M.D., Network Medical Director, MDwise Hoosier Alliance. The success of this year’s Quit Now Indiana Contest demonstrates that many smokers want to quit, but they may not know where to get the help needed. More than 4,600 eligible Hoosiers registered and over 120 employers made the commitment to help their employees quit tobacco use. “The Quit Now Indiana Contest directly aligns with our Tobacco Cessation Program that aims to modify

behavior and manage the dependence of tobacco,” said Molly Alberts, RN, clinical supervisor of the St.Vincent COAG Clinic. “The Quit Now program supports our efforts and the overall goal of Indiana to be a smoke-free state further encouraging healthy lifestyle choices in our communities.” There are more than one million smokers in Indiana and research indicates 80 percent of Hoosier adult smokers have a desire to quit. Hoosiers can access free resources, including a personal Quit Coach to help a person quit success-

fully, by calling the Indiana Tobacco Quitline at 1-800QUIT-NOW (1-800-7848669). Employers are invited to join the Quit Now Indiana Preferred Employer Network, a free program offered through TPC to help Indiana employers help their workforce become tobacco-free.

NRCS announces funding available for key conservation program To help Indiana farmers implement conservation practices, such as nutrient management, reduced tillage, cover crops, rotational grazing systems and others, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has announced over $26 million is available through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). “ T h e Environmental Quality Incentives Program offers farmers and forestland managers a variety of options to conserve natural resources while boosting production on their lands,” Acting State Conservationist Kimberly Neumann said. “This $26 million investment in conservation protects water quality and other resource concerns, and helps the economy of Indiana’s rural communities.” EQIP provides financial assistance

to treat natural resource concerns on the land through a variety of conservation practices, such as irrigation water management, reduced tillage, cover crops, field buffers, rotational grazing systems and much more. “Our D i s t r i c t Conservationists are trained to help producers incorporate conservation systems into their operations for optimal soil health, productivity, and sustainability, while protecting natural resources,” said Neumann. While applications are accepted at any time, the application deadline for the first round of funding consideration is January 18, 2013 at local NRCS offices. A second signup deadline for funding consideration is set for March 15th. Additionally, NRCS offers special initiatives through EQIP, including: On-Farm Energy Initiative: helps pro-

ducers conserve energy on their operations. Seasonal High Tunnel Initiative: helps producers install high tunnels designed to extend the growing season into the cold months, increase productivity, keep plants at a steady temperature and conserve water and energy. Organic Initiative: helps producers to install conservation practices on certified organic operations or those working toward organic certification. Air Quality Initiative: helps producers address air quality concerns through establishing conservation practices such as cover crops, windbreaks, nutrient management and other conservation measures that mitigate and prevent air quality problems. To participate in EQIP, an applicant must be an individual, entity or joint operation that meets

Risk management at forefront as farmers face uncertainty in 2013

One thing is certain for corn farmers in 2013, and that is the importance of risk management amid extreme uncertainty in yields and revenues, Purdue agricultural economist Chris Hurt says. Three years of below-normal corn yields and ongoing drought in the western Corn Belt have the potential to drive corn prices to record highs in the coming year, but a return to more normal yields nationwide could send corn prices on their largest-ever year-to-year decline. The wide range of possibilities makes growers vulnerable and emphasizes the need for a variety of risk management tactics. “The key to risk management is to protect against the potential bad outcomes, but still leave opportunities to capitalize on potential good outcomes,” Hurt said. The first way to do that is with crop insurance. Farmers

can choose from a variety of coverage types and levels that offer financial protection from low yields and prices. What makes crop insurance so desirable is that it doesn’t limit the revenue a grower can receive if yields or prices are high. “Crop insurance is hugely important,” Hurt said. “Sometimes growers are hesitant to sign up because the premiums have to be paid regardless of whether coverage is used. But I think a lot more people understand the value after the drought this year. If not for crop insurance, it would be depression in many farming communities right now.” Marketing decisions also play a role in risk management. Many farmers forward-contract portions of expected crop production to lock in forward prices. But while forward contracts protect growers from falling prices, they also prevent gain

if prices increase between the times contracts are made and when crops are harvested. “Growers should forward-contract only a portion so that if prices go up they still have money to gain,” Hurt said. “It’s common to forward-contract 25-30 percent of expected production for new crop delivery.” Farmers who do forward-contract also can consider purchasing an out-of-themoney call option against their forward contracts. The option allows the opportunity for farmers to gain revenue if prices go up after contracts are made. An example, Hurt said, is a farmer who opts to sell corn for $6 per bushel in a forward contract. By purchasing a call option on futures at $7.50 per bushel, the farmer could add $2.50 a bushel to their $6 if corn prices ended up moving to $10 because of drought.

“The call option costs some money but provides upside opportunity in case prices move sharply to the up side,” he said. The highly anticipated 2013 Farm Bill could provide farmers with additional revenue protection. Both House and Senate versions of the bill stop direct payments to farmers but instead withhold that money to give farmers an enhanced safety net in the form of 810 percent more finan-

cial protection. For example, if a farmer elected a crop insurance coverage level of 70 percent and the federal government offered an additional 8-10 percent, farm finances would be protected at 78-80 percent. “The foundation of risk management in 2013 would still be crop insurance,” Hurt said. “But this could add another modest layer of protection and build a little more confidence.”

Make donating blood part of your New Year’s resolution Many New Year’s resolutions focus on breaking bad habits. The American Red Cross is encouraging you to take up a positive habit instead. By resolving to donate blood or platelets in the coming year, you can help save the lives of the one out of 10 hospital patients who require blood for emergency or ongoing medical care. Every two seconds, someone needs a blood transfusion in the United States. Your frequent donations through the American Red Cross can help keep the nation’s blood supply strong and ensure that it will be available anytime and any-

where it’s needed. “A resolution to donate blood in the New Year is a resolution that lasts a lifetime,” said Tracy Duncan Fox, Communications Manager for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “Your donation may help save the lives of three people. It could be a 3-year old with cancer, a high school student with leukemia, or a young mother who has unexpected complications after giving birth.” When you donate through the Red Cross, you’ll join about 4 million blood donors nationwide in a lifesaving

cause. The need for blood is constant. Every day, patients across the U.S. need an average of 44,000 units of red blood cells. That’s about 16-million donations transfused to 5 million patients each year. “Your donation is needed and may give someone another day, another week, another month to spend with loved ones and friends,” said Duncan Fox. “That’s a New Year’s resolution worth keeping.” U p c o m i n g American Red Cross Blood Drives in the area: Thursday, Jan. 3, from noon until 6 p.m. at Manchester

Governor-Elect Pence appoints five to leadership positions

Carmel, IN - Gov.elect Mike Pence and Lt. Gov.-elect Sue Ellspermann recently announced five more appointments to leadership positions within their administration. Doug Carter, former sheriff of Hamilton County, has been named Superintendent of the Indiana State Police. He retired from the State Police as a trooper in 2002 after 18 years and served two terms as the Hamilton County sheriff. Under his leadership the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s office earned national accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation in Law E n f o r c e m e n t (CALEA), only the second sheriff ’s office in the state to do so. Carter also worked to reduce redundancy in public safety by coordinating and communicating with public safety agencies throughout central Indiana. Most recently, Carter worked in the private sector providing public safety solutions to municipalities throughout the State of Indiana. “Doug Carter is a veteran of the State Police and served the people of Hamilton County well as sheriff,” said Pence. “His experience will help him provide leadership to the State Police who so capably

serve all Hoosiers.” Rob Carter will continue to serve as Director of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). He has held the top post at DNR since 2006. Rob Carter has been instrumental in speeding up DNR’s environmental permitting process as well as leading efforts to expand Indiana’s recreational trails and protect its river corridors and wetlands. “We are pleased that Rob Carter will continue to lead Indiana’s efforts to steward its outstanding natural resources,” said Pence. “He has brought efficiency and accountability to DNR, and we look forward to working with him.” Jeff Cardwell will join the Pence Administration as the Executive Director of the Office of Faithbased and C o m m u n i t y Initiatives (OFBCI), a position that will be part of Gov.-elect Pence’s Cabinet. Cardwell is an entrepreneur and business owner who launched the nonprofit People Helping People in 2001 to address issues of housing and hunger both locally and abroad. “Jeff Cardwell has made helping people a priority in his life,” said Pence. “His background in business

and the non-profit world, coupled with his ability to bring people together to solve problems will make a difference for thousands of Hoosiers in need.” Lt. Gov.-elect E l l s p e r m a n n announced that Dax Norton will be heading up the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). Norton has eight years of experience in economic development and was a small business owner for eight years. He has been the executive director of the Boone County Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation since 2008 and previously led economic development for Blackford County and downtown Greensburg, Ind. “Dax Norton understands that economic development in rural communities is driven by strong community development,” said Ellspermann. “His experience in both will be a great asset to OCRA.” Zac Jackson will be the majority Deputy Budget Director. Jackson has worked in the Indiana State Budget Agency for the past eight years as a budget analyst and as an assistant director over the Health and Human Services Division. He will assist OMB Director Chris Atkins who also will serve as Budget

Director. “Zac Jackson’s background in fiscal policy and his experience in financial management at the Budget Agency will make him an invaluable member of our team as we manage the state’s finances and build our first recommended budget,” said Pence. Pence also announced additional senior staff hires. Ryan Streeter will join the policy team as Senior Economic Policy Director. Streeter is a Distinguished Fellow for Economic and Fiscal Policy at the Sagamore Institute and an adjunct professor at Indiana University’s school of public policy. He served in the White House as a special assistant for domestic policy to George W. Bush. Christy Denault has been named Communications Director. Denault most recently filled that role during Pence’s gubernatorial campaign. She previously held communications positions at Bose Public Affairs Group and in Lt. Governor Becky Skillman’s office. Kara Brooks has been hired as Press Secretary and will serve as spokeswoman for the Governor’s office. Brooks has 12 years of experience in broad-

cast media and has worked for the I n d i a n a p o l i s Department of Public Works since 2010. “We have assembled a senior staff team of very talented people,” said Pence.

and he attended M a n c h e s t e r University. The couple took their honeymoon to Tennessee. They reside in Huntington.

Indiana State Police offers winter driving tips To help Hoosiers prepare for upcoming winter weather the Indiana State Police offers the following tips. Be prepared: Before traveling, check the forecast and let someone know your travel route. Keep your gas tank at least half-full. Carry a winter driving kit that should include blankets, flashlight, extra batteries, a brightly colored cloth, sand (or cat litter), shovel, candle, matches, non-perishable high calorie food, first aid kit, and jumper cables. Have a cell phone and charger cord available. Slow down on

snow/ice covered roads. Allow extra time to arrive at your destination. Clear all vehicle windows of ice and snow. Remove snow from hood, roof, and lights. Use extra caution when driving across bridges, underpasses, shaded areas and intersections where ice is slow to melt. Avoid abrupt stops and starts. Slow down gradually. Should you become stranded: Don’t leave your car. It’s the best protection you have. Tie a brightly colored cloth to your antenna. Roll down your window a small amount to allow

fresh air in your vehicle. Keep the exhaust pipe free of blockage to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Don’t panic. An idling car uses approximately one gallon of gas per hour. For Indiana road conditions call 1- 800261-7623, or visit the Indiana Department of Transportation website at www.trafficwise.in.gov. Please do not call dispatch centers for road conditions. Telecommunicatio ns operators will be extremely busy dispatching equipment and personnel to motorists requiring emergency assistance.

February Canada goose season to continue The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is again offering a late season for hunting Canada geese The season runs Feb. 1-15 in 30 counties: Steuben, LaGrange, Elkhart, St. Joseph, La Porte, Starke, Marshall, Kosciusko, Noble, DeKalb, Allen, Whitley, Huntington, Wells, Adams, Boone, Hamilton, Madison, Hendricks, Marion, Hancock, Morgan, Johnson, Shelby, Vermillion, Parke, Vigo, Clay, Sullivan and Greene. The late season helps control the population of the breeding “giant” subspecies of Canada geese around urban areas, a common issue in Indiana and surrounding states. Indiana has

offered hunters a late Canada goose season in select counties every February since 2008. A valid hunting license, Indiana waterfowl stamp privilege, signed federal duck stamp and a HIP (Harvest I n f o r m a t i o n Program) number are required to hunt during this season. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service first granted Indiana a late season for Canada goose as a three-year experiment with a requirement that at least 80 percent of geese harvested during that period needed to be giant Canada geese. Indiana has now met the Fish and Wildlife Service’s criteria in all areas, and as a result the free permit that had been issued in previ-

ous late seasons is no longer required. Checking of shot geese is also no longer required. In 2012, the state issued late-season Canada goose permits to 4,362 hunters and 3,287 of them hunted, DNR waterfowl biologist Adam Phelps said. Indiana hunters harvested 8,076 Canada geese during the 2012 late season, almost 1,600 more than in 2011, according to estimates from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The total late-season harvest for Indiana across all five years is estimated at 33,500 geese. The season may be closed in future years if local Canada goose populations are sufficiently reduced.

Allen County man sentenced to pay $48,000 for securities fraud Secretary of State Connie Lawson’s investigation leads to conviction An investigation by Indiana Secretary of State Connie L a w s o n ’ s P r o s e c u t i o n Assistance Unit has lead to the conviction of Randy Ridenour of Fort Wayne. An Allen County Judge sentenced Ridenour to pay $48,000 and to serve four years of probation for a securities fraud scheme. Ridenour promised to invest $30,000 for his victim but chose to use the victim’s funds for his personal largesse instead. “Ridenour was not registered with my office to sell securities, a key warning sign for any Hoosier investor” said Secretary of State Connie Lawson. “You can protect yourself from securities fraud by researching an investor’s work history, licensing status and disciplinary actions on our webs i t e www.IndianaInvestm entWatch.com. “I want to thank Allen County Prosecutor Karen Richards and her staff for their work on this case. This conviction would not have been possible without their determination to prosecute these white collar cases.” Ridenour began the scheme when he developed a relationship with the victim while aiding in a home refinance in which he served as the registered loan broker. He learned the victim held a fund of $30,000 with an investment advisor and convinced the victim to invest that fund with him. Ridenour was not registered with the Secretary of State’s office to sell securities, a class C felony

and did not invest the money. Instead Ridenour used the $30,000 over a period of four months for his own personal use. If Ridenour fails to make his court ordered monthly payment of $1,000 at any time over the next four years, he faces time in prison. “This case is yet another example of the Prosecution Assistance Unit of

the Secretary of State’s office and a local prosecutor’s office staff working together to put criminals behind bars and to get justice for victims,” said Securities Commissioner Chris Naylor.

Estate and Business Transfer Planning” is Jan. 11 at IU Health White Memorial Hospital in Monticello and March 8 at Ivy Tech Community College School of Technology in Terre Haute. The program runs 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at both locations. Gerry Harrison, Purdue Extension agricultural economist and agricultural law specialist, is the presenter. He has taught agricultural law topics and family business transfer planning for nearly 40 years. Program topics are drainage law, limiting liability for farming activities, property rights, right-to-farm law, real estate transfer taxation, the legal and tax aspects of

conservation easements and key topics in estate planning. He said that while the seminar is focused on issues that relate to farmers, landowners and family business owners, the program should be of interest to lawyers and accountants who deal with agricultural clients and will offer continuing education credits to both. Lunch is sponsored by Farm Credit and features a presentation about farmland value trends by a loan officer. Registration is due Jan. 9 for the Monticello seminar and March 6 for the Terre Haute seminar. Registration fees vary depending on the type of registration

required.

Vrooman’s Christmas display delights the neighborhood by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com Every year, Jack and Carolyn Vrooman’s neighbors anticipate more than just turkey on Thanksgiving. Jack spends approximately two and a half weeks stringing thousands of lights throughout

his countryside property. He starts the process at the beginning of November; so when Thanksgiving comes, he is ready to light up. This year Jack increased from approximately 16,000 lights to around 25,000-30,000. He added ground lights,

icicle lights, a Christmas tree on the grain bin and more. He also switched to all LED lights, which creates a bluish cast – and will save him money on his electric bill. Jack does all the work himself. He started several years ago with just a few lights, but when he

gained access to a lift, he began to add more. Each year he adds a little, and he continues to keep adding. “The neighbors love it,” Jack told The Paper of Wabash. “People will slow down and take pictures, and we really enjoy doing this,” he said.

The lights are set on timers to be on from 5:30 p.m. – midnight and from 6:30 – 8:30 a.m. As Jack works hard to decorate the outside, Carolyn works just as hard to decorate the inside. Those lucky enough to see it would be just as impressed as they are with the outside. Carolyn puts up three full Christmas trees, decorates doorways and windowsills, and creates a beautiful centerpiece for the dining room that hangs from the ceiling. She uses an assortment of materials including or naments, boas, ribbonlike material called abacra, sticks and feathers. Their garage is decorated with lights and a center ceiling piece and several t a b l e s w h e r e p a r t y guests can hang out and eat. J a c k a n d Carolyn look forward to sharing their extravagant Christmas décor with family, friends, neighbors, and Wabash County residents every year. They dedicate sever-

al hours to the job and turn the lights on from Thanksgiving until mid-January. To see the impressive display of lights,

drive down CO RD 200 N, about a mile west of Northfield High School.

JACK AND CAROLYN VROOMAN’S HOME ON COUNTY ROAD 200 N., display more than 20,000 Christmas lights. Each year, Jack spends a few weeks hanging lights and turns them on from Thanksgiving until mid-January. Neighbors and Wabash County residents enjoy the display and look forward to it every year. Carolyn decorates the inside of the house with three full Christmas trees and a wide range of other decorations.

Modoc’s Market, Wabash’s premier downtown espresso bar, café and gathering spot announced two new healthy moves for the coming year. In recognition of the work that Dan Gray and the TobaccoFree Coalition have done for Wabash County, the decision was made to remove the convenience of tobacco purchases and reduce the exposure and promotion of tobacco products as of Jan. 1, 2013. Additionally in Modoc’s quest for healthy options, they have begun offering Modoc’s Steel Cut Oats. Over a year went into researching and developing a tasty convenient and healthy breakfast or lunchtime alternative. Steel cut oats are the whole oat grain which has been coarsely cut. Nutty and chewier than rolled oats, they are high in fiber, protein, and vitamins. Because they are a complex carbohydrate, they take longer to digest and help keep insulin levels stable. The oats are slow cooked in Modoc’s kitchen and are ready to eat, hot or cold. Modoc’s goal was to create a breakfast combination, which tasted delicious and was healthy too. There is no added sugar or salt. Modoc’s Steel Cut Oats are combined with Chia seeds, ground Flax seed, Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds, and dried Cranberries to provide an un-

processed, whole food option. A handy folded tab on the top of each carton describes the health benefits of each ingredient. Those familiar with the tiny powerful Chia seed will appreciate that Modoc’s includes a toothpick with each container. “Our customers love the oats and have thanked us for having something they feel good about eating every morn-

ing.” Customers can also have their oats flavored with regular or sugar-free syrup for a different taste at no extra charge. Modoc, the Market’s namesake, was a performing elephant in the circus. These animals don’t have a glamorous life, so in recognition of her service, a portion of each sale of the oats will be donated to the Performing Animal

Welfare Society (www.pawsweb.org). At PAWS Sanctuaries rescued animals live in peaceful and natural habitats, free from fear, chains, and harsh confinement. They are at complete liberty to act out natural behaviors in the comfort of their individually designed enclosures. Eight elephants currently call PAWS their home.

MODOC’S MARKET, 205 S. Miami St., Wabash, recently announced it would begin to offer Modoc’s Steel Cut Oats. The steel cut oats are whole oat grains, which have been coarsely cut, giving it a nutty and chewier taste than traditionally rolled oats. (photo provided)

Squires squash Central Noble Manchester: 53 Central Noble: 27 By J.D. Sparks NORTH MANCHESTER—On a team looking for some momentum heading into the Wabash County Basketball Tournament, Manchester’s defense answered the call. The Squires held Central Noble to 21 percent (10-of-46) shooting en route to a 53-27 home victory Thursday evening. “Our physical effort was pretty good from everybody,” Manchester Head Coach Mark Underwood said. “We didn’t turn the ball over as much as we have been. Everybody stepped up, especially on the defensive side of the ball. “I thought we played with intensity and mental toughness tonight. The girls came ready to play.” The victory represented Manchester’s fifth-straight victory over Central Noble. It was the Cougars’ 11th-straight loss to begin the 2012-13 campaign and 38th-consecutive loss since its 5753 victory over Hamilton on Jan. 13 of 2011. The Squires took control fairly early in the game. Central Noble’s Tiffany Simcox’s bucket from down under tied the score at 2-2 with 6:30 left in the first. The Cougars would convert just five more field goals and go 1-for-7 from the free-throw line until Renee Zigler’s triple in the fourth quarter. In fact, 13 of the Cougars’ 27 points and four of their 10 field goals came in the final quarter. The Squires’ defense clamped down during the middle quarters,

Wabash swimmers split with Marion The Wabash boys and girls swimming teams split with Marion Monday. The boys won 87-70, while the girls fell 86-70. In the boys meet, Stephan Eilts won the 200-meter individual medley and the 50-meter free. He was also a part of the winning relay team. His time time of two minutes and 41.80 seconds in the 200-meter individual medley set a new school record. Nate Height won the 100-meter backstroke and 100-meter freestyle, along with being on the relay teams. Aaron Hartley won the 100-meater breaststroke and also was on the winning relay teams. In the girls meet, Sydney Enyeart won the 200-meter individual medley, the 500-meter freestyle and teamed up with Ashley Price, Julie Gleason and Shai Parrett to win the 200-meter medley and 200-meter freestyle relays. Enyeart’s time of 2:50.13 in the 200meter individual medley broke the school record.

especially, outscoring Central Noble 26-7. Manchester really began to take control with three minutes left in the first quarter. Up 6-4, Kayla Flack’s old-fashioned 3-pointer sparked 10-1 run, increasing the Manchester lead to 16-5 with 1:17 left. With an 18-7 lead heading into the fourth, Cougar senior Heather Combs scored the lone secondquarter points for her team, setting the score at 22-9 with 3:14 left. Central Noble was unable to score again until the 3:45 mark in the third. Meanwhile, Autumn Brewer converted an old-fashioned 3pointer with 2:52 left in the half. Sydney Snep scored down under shortly after and Bekah Brunn nailed a long 3-pointer with 35 seconds left as Manchester increased its lead to 30-9 at halftime. In the third quarter, eight different Squires scored as they headed into the fourth up 44-14. Claire Barnett, Kalene Freshour, Brunn, Madison Isbell, Brewer, Tabby DeWitt and Flack each cracked the scoring column. After Kaitlyn Parrett’s score in the fourth, nine of the 10 Manchester girls who played, scored. “The challenge I issue to the girls is, when you’re called off the bench, don’t just go in there to give someone a rest,” Underwood said. “Go in there and make us better. I was pleased with everyone’s effort. “We have a lot of different girls who can score in double digits, too—Flack, DeWitt, Freshour, Snep, Brunn. A lot of our girls can do that and it really helps our team when anybody can step up and score.” Central Noble outscored Manchester 13-9 in the fourth, but it wasn’t enough. Manchester improved to 4-5 with the 53-27 win. Underwood said this game will help his team prepare for the Wabash County Tournament. “We’re glad we didn’t have a two-week layoff from the Southwood game until the County Tournament,” he said. “Hopefully this game keeps us going for it.” Brunn led the Squires with 17 points, one assist, one block, a rebound, and a steal. Flack added 14 points, two assists, nine rebounds and three steals. DeWitt had six points and eight boards. Barnett scored four points with an assist and Freshour had three points, four assists, two rebounds and five steals. The Squire JV team fell, 25-13. Desiree Blum led Manchester with four points.

The Wabash Junior-Senior League will be holding a raffle at the Wabash County Basketball Tournament Dec. 28 and 29 at Southwood. There will be a table set up were those interested can purchase one ticket for $5 or three for $10. Those who purchased a ticket will then choose to enter a drawing for a specific prize pack. “They’ll choose either prize pack one, two, three and so on,” said Steve Furnas, a Junior-Senior League coach charge of the

raffle. “If they get three tickets, they can put all three in one or one in different prize packs. These packs will include everything from local merchants, from restaurant gift certificates to oil changes to fishing rods from local sporting goods stores and autographed memorabilia from the Fort Wayne Tincaps. There’ll be something for everyone.” Furnas said with funds for the league drying up, something had to be done.

“This is the first year we’ve done something like this,” he said. “We just had to find another way to make money. (Southwood Athletic Director) Tom Finicle gave us the OK to set up a table at the Wabash County Tournament. We’ll have league officials and managers at the table for all of the games.” The first Wabash County Basketball Tournament session begins at Southwood at 9 a.m.

witnessed a great set of matches that bore out the improvement the athletes have made.” In JV action, Dylin Porter (220) was a winner by fall.

Considering a New Lower?

A new lower may NOT be the answer to your problems! Due to the bone loss which occurs once teeth are removed, it is often difficult to be satisfied with a lower denture. Through the use of DENTAL IMPLANTS and the security they offer, loose lower dentures will no longer be a problem.
