December 15, 2010 Commissioners discuss ordinances and jail staff
by Danielle Smith Steve Downs, county attorney, presented drafts of ordinances addressing the accumulation of junk trash and debris and the regulation of weeds and vegetation to the Wabash County Commissioners at their Dec. 13 meeting. The ordinances require the commission to send notice to landowners identifying the steps they must take to correct the violation and possible penalties they may incur if the steps are not taken. Downs suggested that they incorporate a deadline into the ordinance to give the landowner a specific time to complete the cleanup. The deadline was set at 30 days, but left to the discretion of the enforcement officer, Mike Howard, or the planning commission. The planning commission will review the ordinances then they will be sent back to the commissioners for a final approval. Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department requested to reassign Cory Thomas, parttime jail officer, to fill the fulltime position that an individual resigned from last week. The motion was approved. The commissioners signed a letter to help finalize the Community Corrections grant application, to be sent to the Department of Corrections. Final approval of the grant is expected to take until February, at which time the commissioners will sign the grant.

AACTION grants for drug and alcohol programs total more than $20,000 by Danielle Smith Trisha Hanes, chairperson of Wabash County AACTION (Against Alcohol, Controlled substances and Tobacco In Our Neighborhoods), presented a summary of the 2011 grant allocation to the Wabash County Commissioners on Dec. 13. Wabash County AACTION is the local coordinating council for the Governor’s Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana. One of the functions of the organization is to allocate to local programs funds generated from a $200 drug interdiction fee imposed on those arrested for a drug or alcohol offense. “We’ve been lucky to have a low operating budget so we were able to allocate all of the money that has come in,” Hanes said. The total money available this year was $21,002.14, approximately $3,000 less than last year. Hanes explained this lesser amount by saying that the criminal field is still being affected by the struggling economy. The funds are divided between programs in three different categories: prevention and education, treatment and intervention, and justice. Prevention and Education programs The Access requested $3,200 for Access Reality, which employs the use of a daily afterschool program, teen church, weekend activities and home visits to educate youth on the reality of substance abuse. This program was approved for $1,825. Manchester College’s new Peer Education Program requested $1,250. This program brain-
storms and promotes weekly non-alcoholic events. They provide educational programs and messages to aid in binge drinking prevention. The program was approved for $750. Manchester College also requested $3,500 to bring a speaker through Campus Speak to the college for convocation. This speaker will provide information to students as they make decisions about alcohol while attending college. The community is invited to this event. The college was awarded $1,855 for the speaker. Manchester Jr./Sr. High School and Northfield Jr./Sr. High School each requested $1,500 for their After Prom party, which provides a safe environment for students to participate in fun activities while supervised rather than drinking. Each school was awarded $750. Southwood Jr./Sr. High School’s PEP (Peers Educating Peers) program requested $500. This program enlists students that have abstained from premarital sex and the use of drugs and alcohol to give presentations to other students. This program was approved for $1,000 of funding. Treatment and Intervention programs The Bowen Center of Wabash County requested $4,000 to fund substance abuse programs for low-income individuals. In 2010, a total of 20 clients were financially assisted by the AACTION grant. This program was awarded $2,000. Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc. requested and received $3,000 for Victim’s Advocacy Program, which provides

support to victims of domestic violence. Manchester College requested $1,875 to help fund an on-line drug or alcohol course and treatment intervention that is required of all students found responsible for a drug or alcohol offense. The program was awarded $775. Wabash County Drug Court requested and received $3,000 to help defray the costs from chemical testing of participants. These costs can total upward of $500 for an offender, but are necessary to validate the person’s sobriety. Justice programs The North Manchester Police Department requested $800 to allow them to send two officers to the 2011 Indiana Drug Enforcement Association conference, which provides education and networking opportunities. A third officer will be sent using departmental funds. They were awarded $831.54. North Manchester Police Department also requested and received $1,419 for the purchase of a personal video system for each officer. This system will allow them to record traffic stops, searches, statements and interviews. The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department requested and received $3,000 to fund various enforcement activities including increased patrols, quarterly drug searches at schools and efforts to discourage the sale of tobacco to youth. These grants totaled $20,955.54, and the remaining $46.60 will carry over to next year’s fund.

by Brent Swan What started as a simple holiday tradition of putting up a few Christmas lights each year has turned into something much more at the home of Nick and Bev Watkins, 458 Vermont St., Wabash. “We had 7500 lights last year,” Nick said. “I thought I had a pretty good display until I went online and searched for other displays and saw what some of those guys were doing.” It was then Nick realized he had to take his efforts to a whole different level. To achieve the look he wanted, Nick admitted that he started planning about for this year’s display almost a full year ago. The display, which he revealed to the public on Nov. 25, put roughly 50,000 Christmas lights into various forms of motion on 160 computerized channels. “The channels mean that 160 different elements can be controlled and either turned on or off at any point in a song,” Nick explained. “Although we don’t have 160 different windows or trees in our yard, almost every fixture has strands of different colors. So if we want to turn it all red or green, we can.” New features to this year’s display include 24 mini-trees, each containing 600 lights; four arches, each reaching five feet tall and 15 feet long and containing 800 lights; and the impressive 22 foot tall mega-tree. “The mega tree contains 9,600 lights, 25 strobe lights, and right at 200 LEDs in the star,” Nick explained. “We figured the mini trees took 48-50 man hours alone to construct.” The project was not without its own technical issues, however, as the massive amount of lights draw an equally impressive amount of power.

December 15, 2010
BLUE RIBBON BUSINESS: AgVenture / McKillip Seeds Co. was recently honored as the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce’s December Blue Ribbon Business of the Month. The recognition coincides with the business celebrating 75 years of family operation. Pictured are (from left): Mike McKillip and Troy McKillip. (photo provided) The Chamber membership committee extends a Happy 75th Anniversary to
AgVenture / McKillip Seeds, the December Blue Ribbon Business of the Month.
In 1934, Alvin McKillip grew a 10acre seed plot for Indiana Farm
Bureau. That set the stage for the next year, when the first McKillip Seeds corn hybrids were sold. Today, they produce and market thousands of seed units including corn, soybean and wheat seeds, to farmers across northern Indiana, northwest Ohio and into southern Michigan. Alvin’s sons, Jim, Bob, Jack and Ken, joined the business by the 1960’s continuing to grow and develop the family-centered company. Today, the third and fourth generations are very much involved in daily operations. Nine family members are working partners in the business, plus additional members in the office and sales team. In 2006, McKillip Seeds joined AgVenture, Inc., the nation’s largest network of independently owned and operated Regional Seed Companies (RSCs), greater providing access to seed technologies and additional genetics that growers need to raise high yields in today’s production environments.
Mike McKillip emphasizes the importance of the rich 75-year family history by saying, “At AgVenture McKillip Seeds, we’ll continue to work hard and evolve for our family and for our customers.” Each year in late August or early September, the company holds a customer appreciation day. The public is invited to tour the facility, enjoy refreshments and participate in an education class on the growing of seed. Experts provide guidance for maximum returns for their customers. A g V e n t u r e McKillip Seeds has been a Wabash County Chamber of Commerce member since 1978 and was the 2002 Business of the Year. Contact the
McKillip family at 565 N 500 W, Wabash, by telephone at 260-5633833, by fax at 260-5634141 or at their website www.mckillipseeds.com. M e m b e r s h i p Committee members and Blue Ribbon Business Chairs, Stephanie Ogan and Michael Thompson, both of Ponderosa, honor a Chamber
member each month by randomly drawing a member’s name and completing a brief interview and picture to highlight one Chamber member business. We encourage you to take time to become more familiar with Chamber members and patronize our local businesses, keeping jobs and dollars in Wabash County.

Startup energy component maker to establish Marion facility Vela Gear Systems
LLC, a startup man-
ufacturer
of
mechanical power transmission components used in several markets including wind energy, announced recently that it will establish its first manufacturing operations here, creating up to 163 new jobs by 2013. The company, which manufactures components for planetary gears and gearboxes, will make a multi-million dollar investment to construct a 250,000 square-foot manufacturing facility adjacent to Ivy Tech Community College in Marion. “The potential new jobs and investment associated with this
project will continue Indiana’s forward momentum as a leader in the cleantech market,” said Mitch Roob, of Secretary Commerce and chief executive officer of the Indiana E c o n o m i c D eve l o p m e n t Corporation. Construction on the new facility is scheduled to begin by mid-2011. New equipment phase-in and hiring will take place in late 2011 with operations set to begin by mid-2012. “Indiana is an ideal location due to high-skilled the workforce, and a central location close to

a variety of North American customers,” said Noel Davis, founder and chief executive officer of Vela Gear Systems LLC. Vela Gear Systems LLC was founded by veterans of the gear making industry from across the Midwest. The facility will be among the only U.S. manufacturers of large scale gears for wind turbine assemblies. The Indiana E c o n o m i c D eve l o p m e n t Corporation offered Vela Gear Systems LLC up to $1.6 million in performancebased tax credits, based on the company’s job creation plans. The city of Marion will consider the establishment of a tax increment financing district at the development site. “We are proud to
welcome Vela Gear to Marion. Along with Governor Daniels’ statewide efforts, we have been working hard to make Marion an attractive place to start and grow business,” said Mayor Wayne Seybold. “Vela Gear represents the outcomes of these efforts and the future of advanced manufacturing for Marion and Indiana.” Vela Gear Systems’ announced expansion comes just one week after electrical systems manufacturer, Northwind E l e c t r o n i c s announcement that it will invest $954,000 to purchase, improve and equip the former General Motors Plant 16 manufacturing facility in nearby Anderson, creating up to 100 new jobs by 2013.

Quit Now Indiana contest winners announced
After smoking for more than 40 years, Steve Williams decided to quit for good when the Quit Now Indiana contest was announced. Williams received support from his wife and family throughout his attempt to quit smoking. Coupled with the vision of driving a new smoke-free car and the money he could possibly win from the contest, he kept motivated to quit smoking once and for all. He was the first place winner, receiving $2,500. After working with cancer patients at the Elkhart Clinic for the past seven years, Craig Watson realized that he did not want to become a patient because of his tobacco addiction. So, he made the decision to quit cold turkey. Watson used the Quit Now Indiana Facebook fan page for motivation. Reading how other smokers were quitting gave him the encouragement he needed to stay smoke-free. Watson received $1,500 as the second place winner. Nicole Wall began smoking at the age of 18 due to peer pressure. Now a 25-year-old, married, mother of two young children, Wall decided to quit smoking when she learned she was pregnant with her third child. The Quit Now Indiana contest was an additional incentive for her to stick to it and become smoke-free for her children. She received $1,000 as the third place winner. Visit www.QuitNowIndiana.com to learn more about the winners.

amps,” Nick said. “We had to have a separate 200-amp service installed for the display and we still wound up pulling 40 amps off of the house.” As the time for the official reveal wound to a close, a family friend approached the Watkins with a modest suggestion. “A friend of ours came to us and said we should start a donation to some kind of charity,” Bev said. “We had thought about doing something of that nature in the past and the first thing that came to my mind was Riley, because I went to Riley as a child,” Nick said. Nick and Bev decided to set a goal of reaching $1,000 for the hospital, but acknowledge there is no fixed amount they are hoping to raise. “Right now we’re at about 67 percent of our goal,” Bev explained. “Whatever we raise, we’ll give 100 percent to the hospital. If the donations stop today we’ll be as happy as if we were to exceed our goal.” Although the Watkins are raising money for Riley, the family hopes people realize that it is not the only reason they installed the display. “We want people to come out and enjoy the lights, if we come out to your car it is to give you a candy cane or to talk, not to get your money,” Nick said. “We have two big boxes of those candy canes in the back of
the house we give out to people who come by.” Nick and Bev went on to say their children, Joey, 6, and Ethan, 4, have taken the attention the home gets in stride. “They love to help us hand out the candy canes,” Bev said. “They have a lot of fun with it all.” The Watkins have launched a website to track the progress of donations and post videos of the display, www.lightsforriley.co m. Nick has also created a YouTube chan-
n e l , www.youtube.com/lig htsforriley and can also be found on Facebook. If driving by the home, the family urges you to enter City Park and exit on Vermont St. to keep the traffic flowing the same direction. “There is room around the neighborhood for people to park and walk up, or they can drive by,” Bev explained. “We hope people come by and visit, we put this all together for people to enjoy.”
Those hired to apply, handle or transport fertilizer for agricultural purposes within Indiana must become certified through the Office of the Indiana State Chemist and Seed Commissioner by Jan. 1, 2012. The new rule also requires certification for anyone applying manure from confined feeding operations. Certification exams are conducted at the Purdue University-based OISC, with exams available at remote testing sites starting in January. A state law passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 2009 created the rule that mandated the certification, known as Category 14, said Leo Reed, the OISC’s manager of certification and licensing. “This rule is designed to give fertilizer and manure applicators the opportunity to demonstrate their compe-
tence in handling and applying these materials, in a manner to protect the waters of the state and the environment in general,” Reed said. The rule covers “fertilizer material,” defined as both commercial fertilizer and manure from confined feeding operations. CFOs are livestock facilities that house at least 300 cattle or 600 swine or sheep or 30,000 fowl, such as chickens, turkeys or other poultry. There are about 1,500 CFOs in Indiana. Because they house more animals than CFOs, concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs, also fall under Category 14. “The key is fertilizer material ‘for hire or manure,’” Reed said. “Those applying any fertilizer materials for hire and those people applying manure from a CFO — even to their own property — must receive Category 14 certification if they use in excess of
10 cubic yards, or 4,000 gallons, of manure per year. “So if you’re applying manure from those facilities you need certification. If you’re transporting manure from those facilities, you need certification. If you’re distributing manure from your facility or individuals are coming to pick it up from you, you need certification or at least a fertilizer dealer permit.” The Category 14 exam consists of about 70 questions. The exam is free, although remote testing sites operated by a contracted vendor of H&R Block charge a fee. Passing the exam qualifies
participants to be licensed. A five-year private applicator license is $20, while a fertilizer business license is $45 and good for one year. A one-year fertilizer distributor license is $45 and requires no certification exam. No extra license fees will be charged to those holding pesticide licenses. For additional information about Category 14, exam testing sites and pre-test training sessions, visit the OISC website at http://www.isco.purdue.edu/ and click on the “Fertilizer Certification Applicator Rule” link, or call OISC tollfree at 1-800-893-6637.

Skillman, who serves as Indiana’s secretary of agriculture. SWCDs received up to $5,000 for projects and initiatives in the following grant categories: Adult OutreachEducation, Cost-Share Demonstrations and Capacity Building. An additional $2,000 was available for partnering with other districts and professional training. “A good example of Clean Water partnership projects occurred with DeKalb and Steuben SWCDs that utilized a previous grant (Clean Water) to collaborate and partner with a local agribusiness to host an Agronomy Field Day,” said ISDA-DSC Director Jerod Chew. “This event attracted at least 150 farmers and featured field plots on no-till, strip-till and a discussion of other conservation measures. These districts and many others will host similar field days throughout Indiana again in 2011.” Other Clean Water Indiana Grant projects include: - Continuation of a watershed technician on staff who will implement a watershed proj-
ect cost-share program to help reduce sediment and nutrient runoff. Restoration of stream banks and ag land that has been subject to excessive erosion due to extreme weather events. - Addressing the importance of wetlands
as a natural filter in protecting the quality of our rivers, lakes, and streams. - Providing cover crop planting incentives to ag landowners to help protect the soil surface from rain impact, increase water infiltration therefore decreasing run off,
and encourage the development of healthier soils as a result of the additional plant organic matter. For more information on Clean Water Indiana Grants and a complete list of grantees, visit www.in.gov/isda/2356.h tm.

Area Junior Achievement programs retain highest status fundamentals important to improving the quality of their lives,” says Lena Yarian, president of JA of Northern Indiana. “To further increase our service to students at a time when charitable donations across the nation have reached historic lows, we practice the same economic and business skills JA programs teach stu-
dents. We reduce indirect expenses and focus on providing the outcomes-based programs educators request for their students at all grade levels.” Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana, dedicated to educating and inspiring young people to succeed in a global economy, serves a 25-county region.

Firefighters and law enforcement officers join forces to increase blood donations
Firefighters, police officers and first responders are often close to the need for blood, responding to emergency situations throughout the year. This year the Wabash Police Department and Wabash Fire Department are joining forces with the American Red Cross for the annual Wabash Battle for Blood. The Battle will take place Dec. 17, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at First United Methodist Church, located at 110 N. Cass St., Wabash. Come to donate and receive a t-shirt and be entered into a weekly region-wide drawing for a $250 Visa gift card. The Battle for Blood is a friendly competition between firefighters, police officers and first responders to see who can bring in the most blood donations and votes. The winning department will receive a certificate and bragging rights for the year. “Donating blood is a great way for everyone in the community to show support for local heroes,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. The goal of this year’s Battle is to collect 70 pints of blood. More than 500 pints of blood are needed every day in our area alone to help patients fight cancer, battle serious disease, survive accidents or trauma. “We hope everyone will come out and donate blood and vote for their favorite first responder during this friendly rivalry,” said Whitman. For more information or to schedule a blood donation appointment, call 1-800-RED-CROSS or go to www.redcrossblood.org.
al campaign is currently taking place and we would like to thank all of our contributors for their continued support of JA!” “In today’s challenged economy, too many young people are not able to make the connection between work and reward. Junior Achievement offers skills development programs that enable students to understand the value of the free enterprise system and learn the work-builds-reward
15 REASONS FOR E15
15 REASONS FOR E15
Ethanol. It’s clean, renewable, grown right here in America – and it’s already proven effective and practical in gas tanks across the country. More than 70 percent of American gas stations now sell E10 – a blend of 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gas – the maximum amount allowed by a regulatory cap. But the cars we have now can run on higher blends.
Chad Maynard
Raising this cap by just 5 percent will make room for the next generation of cleanerr, better ethanol, while creating jobs and lowering pollution. It’s time for E15.
1. STRONGER ECONOMY Ethanol uses American labor, American resources and American ingenuity. By raising the regulatory cap, the jobs and tax revenue created will help put our country back on track. Technology, innovation and progress here in America will inspire workers, students and communities, while lowered

A little more ethanol will do a lot for America, including the creation of 10,000 to 20,000 new jobs for every billion gallons produced.

A Ball State University economist is forecasting that Indiana’s economy will grow at a painfully slow but steady rate in 2011 with unemployment falling throughout the year to a low of about 8.7 percent, more than a full percentage point lower than it was in October 2010. Hicks, Michael director of Ball State’s Center for Business Research, believes the state will continue to be a national leader in job creation as the U.S. rebounds from the deep recession of 2007-2009. “As bad as it has been, Indiana has done remarkably well over the recession. Given the large manufacturing share of our economy, we probably should have had an unemployment rate in near 16 percent.” He made his comments during the 15th annual Indiana Economic Luncheon on Oct. 8 at the
Horizon Convention Center. Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman was the keynote speaker at the event. “This forecast says the state will be very slow to rebound from the recession, but all signs point to Indiana continuing to outperform the nation as a whole,” he said. “Indianapolis will again be the state’s economic engine as the capital city continues to attract new businesses and existing firms begin adding to payrolls. However, other parts of the state will see some economic growth but not as fast as we all would hope.” During the luncheon, Hicks reviewed the economic forecast of the Indiana Econometric Model, which combines a U.S. economic model produced by Yale University with Ball State’s model. The forecast analyzes the potential employment, labor force and income
growth in the state’s nine largest private sectors. Personal income should rise by 4.81 percent by year’s end, with the construction (7.23 percent), manufacturing (7.07 percent) and transportation (6.99 percent) sectors leading growth. These sectors were hard hit during the recession and, like the economy as a whole, will not recoup their losses by the end of 2011, Hicks said. Other sector and their expected growth rates: - Utilities, 1.2 percent - Health care, 3.02 percent - Retail, 3.19 percent - Finance and insurance, 3.96 percent - Wholesale, 5.34 percent - Information technology, 5.27 percent Hicks said inflation will be tame, but the large money supply suggests inflation will accompany any strong growth in the economy.
“There is some good news,” he said. “We economists and our models did a poor job of predicting this recession, and the nature of the mathematics underlying the models suggests they are more likely to underestimate the rate of the recovery, than overestimate it.” Hicks said that much of the spending on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, commonly known as the “stimulus,” has yet to be translated into lower unemployment. If more jobs are created, they will come in mid-2011 and 2012, and so cast some uncertainty on these estimates. “I believe that 2011 will be much better than the past two years, but uncertainty surrounding federal policy and continued discomfort with government debt in the U.S. and abroad will cast a shadow on this recovery,” he said.

Expert: Returns on crop storage lower than normal
Farmers trying to decide whether to sell the crop they harvested this fall or continue to store it have a big question to answer: Will storing the crop lead to greater profits later? Although that is a matter of speculation, the returns on crop storage are lower than normal this year, according to Corinne Alexander, associate professor of agricultural economics at Purdue University. “Buyers are saying, through price signals, that they are willing to pay a lot more right now because they need the grain,” Alexander said. “The
market isn’t paying a lot to store, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. There’s no easy rule of thumb.” Alexander recommends that farmers who choose to store their crop avoid putting it into commercial storage, which is less profitable than storing it on the farm. The increase in crop prices primarily is the result of lower yields for different crops around the world. This means that supply is tight in relation to demand. That likely will raise commodity prices. Also playing into the current high prices is a drought in
Russia and lowerthan-expected yield in U.S. crops. There still is uncertainty about the actual size of the corn crop as well as what the demand for corn will be. Corn production nationwide is expected to drop by four percent from last year on yields averaging 154.3 bushels per acre, compared with 164.7 bushels per acre in 2009, according to a November report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In Indiana, corn production is forecast 918.4 million at bushels, down two percent from last year. In August, the USDA
had projected that Indiana corn production this year would top 1 billion bushels for the first time. Alexander said projections showed less than 1 billion bushels for the 2010-11 ending stocks, which is a tight number. Demand for corn acres is expected to be high in 2011. International circumstances also are playing into high crop prices. When Russia banned exports on wheat this year, countries that normally would import from Russia had to buy elsewhere. The result was increased demand for wheat
Teen MOPS hold Signs shows support for ethanol Christmas meeting production Dear editor, The reason for this letter is to respond to all the negative information given by highly regarded media pundits, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, concerning biofuels. Lets compare cost to taxpayers. The oil industry receives between $133.2 billion and $280.8 billion annually with tax deductions, credits and other benefits included. Even when leaving out the $100-200 billion military costs to keep the oil shipping lanes open, the $16 billion ethanol support is small. The “Ethanol Fact Book” states that the U.S. ethanol production supports nearly 500,000 jobs in all sections of the economy and added $65.6 billion to the gross domestic product in 2008 and produces 36 billion gallons of ethanol yearly. The 30-year-old growing industry added $24.6 billion to household income, 1.18 million jobs and $222.6 billion in federal tax revenue. The internal combustion engine will not run on wind or solar. The hybrid electric still requires fuel to support the battery added drive train engine. The 56 pounds of corn uses 31.5 pounds of starch to either produce beverage or sweetener or 2.8 gallons of ethanol. That same bushel of yellow corn provides 1.5 pounds of corn oil, 17.5 pounds of high-protein feed for livestock or poultry and 2.6 pounds of corn meal. Doesn’t it make more economic sense to invest tax dollars in support of farm production rather than pay farmers to not grow crops? Charles W. Signs North Manchester
Teen MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) met at 5 p.m. on Dec. 6 at the First United Methodist Church. The meal was provided by Peggy Riggs and the Teen MOPS leaders. The moms played Christmas games and made live greenery door swags for the craft. Susan Shannon spoke about the origins of such Christmas traditions as the candy cane and gift giving.

Heavy spring rains and late summer drought were the perfect storm for the forage issues that now plague Indiana’s beef producers. Forages are in short supply in some parts of the state and of low quality in others, leaving beef producers to deal with the high prices of alternative feeds to meet the energy and protein needs of their said Ron herds, Lemenager, Purdue Extension beef specialist. “We’re getting a number of calls from producers who are asking questions about a short forage supply, either because they had to start feeding hay earlier than normal, or because they didn’t get a second or third cutting in during the growing season,” Lemenager said. “Some producers have a carryover of hay from the previous year, but that hay is more weathered and lower quality.”
Many of the producers who started to feed hay early had to do so because the drought wreaked havoc on the pastures where cows were grazing. Many pastures were overleaving grazed, plants weak and, ultimately this can lead to delayed early spring growth. To help pastures recover, producers may need to keep cattle off pastures a little longer than normal this next spring, creating more need for forages and alternative feeds. Another problem Lemenager mentioned is the high price of corn. Many alternative feeds are closely tied to the price of corn, and at $5 a bushel producers are looking for other ways to supplement low quality hay. “In terms of alternative feeds, I think we’re talking about distillers grains, corn gluten feed and soybean hulls,” Lemenager said.
“Then, there are some commercially available supplements like tubs, blocks and cubes that producers might want to think about. The bottom line is that they need to compare these different products on a costper-unit energy or protein basis, depending on what the forage analysis tells them.” Commercial feeds often offer more complete nutrition, but they come at a price. Analyzing forages to find out what they’re lacking allows producers to choose supplements based on cost per unit of energy or protein – not just the cost per ton. Regardless of the nutritional decisions producers make, there will be costs – now or in the long run. “A lot of times a drought will have a three-year economic impact,” Lemenager said. “Some producers need to provide supplemental feeds, so there’s a cost associated with this calen-
dar year. If cows aren’t managed correctly and they go into the calving or breeding season in 2011 in a thinner body condition, they’re going to have longer postpartum intervals and pregnancy lower rates. If pregnancy rates are down in 2011, it’s going to translate into a smaller calf crop in 2012. “Producers need to decide when they want to spend the extra money to overcome some of these problems and what kind of economic impact they want to have on losses later down the road.” To help beef producers answer these questions, Lemenager and Purdue Extension forage specialist Keith Johnson will present a webinar at 7 p.m. on Dec. 16. The program will be broadcast to host sites at local Purdue Extension offices. Those interested in attending should contact their county Extension office.
Richvalley United Methodist Women met recently Richvalley United Methodist Women met recently at the church for their annual Christmas carry-in. The room was decorated with colorful tablecloths, a lighted Christmas tree, candles and numerous nativity sets. Cindi Price gave the meal blessing. Hostesses Price and Ruth Dyson provided casseroles, rolls and a drink. Members provided salads and
desserts. Pam Smith gave the lesson on Christmas. We are in the Advent Season now, waiting with anticipation and preparing for the Christ child. The Christmas story was read according to Luke. It took all types of people for this story such as wise men, Mary, Joseph, shepherds, angels, Herod and Baby Jesus. A tea light was lit for each one. Smith also read ‘The Animals – Christmas Eve’. Price led members in singing Silent Night. Roll call was answered by 10 mem-
bers with Christmas m e m o r i e s . Responses were serious and some with humor. Treasurer Joan Day reported the thank offering was higher this year. Christmas giving this year went to Operation Elf, Wabash; Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home, Lebanon; LI.F.E. Center, Wabash; Hamilton Grove Foundation, New Carlile; Bashor Home, Goshen; and Shalom Place, Wabash. The next meeting will be Jan. 8, 2011, at 9 a.m. Jane Long and Ruth Dyson will be
hostesses, Deanna Unger will give the lesson and roll call response will be “A thought on New Year’s resolutions.” Patty Sausaman and Sylvia Sriver were in charge of sending cards to community people. Cindi Price led the discussion on Joshua, who followed in the footsteps of Moses. Members are to read Judges for the January meeting. Arline Kizer gave closing devotions about thanking the Lord for being with us in all kinds of weather, wherever we gather.

Duke Energy Indiana, consumer groups agree to renegotiate Edwardsport cost settlement agreement Duke Energy Indiana, the Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor, the Duke Energy Indiana Industrial Group and Nucor Steel jointly notified the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission that they are withdrawing their Sept. 17 settlement on cost increases associated with Duke Energy’s Edwardsport coal gasification power plant near Vincennes. The parties agreed to enter into new settlement negotiations. “This action is the best path forward for the Edwardsport project at this time,” said James E. Rogers, Duke Energy chairman, president and chief executive officer. “While we are disappointed the original settlement is being withdrawn, we understand the parties’ desire to negotiate a new settlement that is separate and apart from recent events. “The support and cooperation of the settling parties is important to us, so we have agreed to re-examine and renegotiate the terms of the cost settlement. The merits of the Edwardsport plant are strong and construction continues to move forward. The total project
is about 80 percent complete and we are on track to finish the plant by the fall of 2012.” “The OUCC continues to support the Edwardsport project for the reasons our agency has stated on numerous occasions,” said Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor David Stippler. “However, due to recent revelations about communications between Duke Energy and the former IURC chairman, our office has called into question the integrity of the process that led to the settlement agreement. For these reasons, it is
appropriate to reopen the negotiation process and take a fresh look at the issues addressed in this case.” The settlement was to be considered by the IURC Dec. 13 and 14. The groups have proposed a new schedule for commission consideration of the revised cost with hearings that – if approved – may begin as early as mid-March. Those dates are dependent upon commission scheduling and approval. In April, the company announced that the project’s scale and complexity would add approxi-
mately $530 million to the previously approved $2.35 billion estimate. That brought the total estimated cost of the plant to $2.88 billion. The approximately 618-megawatt plant will use state-of-the-art technology to gasify coal, strip out pollutants, and then burn that cleaner gas to produce electricity. The plant’s efficiency reduces its carbon emissions per megawatthour by nearly half. As the first major new power plant built in Indiana in more than 20 years, the facility is a key step in modernizing the state’s aging electric
system. More information on the plant is avail-
able at http://news.duke-ener-

Purdue health and veterinary scientists tell their story to third-graders
~ QUALITY FABRICS ~ Specializing in cottons for quilting 1604 S. Wabash St. • Wabash 260-563-3505 www.colorsgonewild.com
A new book aimed at third-graders features Purdue University scientists and fun activities to build student interest in health and veterinary sciences. we ask “When young children what it means to be a veterinarian, they often think of a white woman caring for dogs. That perspective makes some children feel as if they
don’t have a place in this career,” said Sandy Amass, professor and associate dean in the School of Veterinary Medicine. “Leaders in the field of veterinary medicine, as well as others in related areas of science, technology, math and engineerare working ing, toward inspiring all students from underrepresented minorities to those with dis-

advantaged economic backgrounds, to consider careers in science. “This book, which is part of a larger program called Fat Dogs and Coughing Horses, offers a diverse and personal view of eight scientists who are committed to improving human and animal life.” “How I Became a Scientist: An Activity Book for 3rd Graders” was published this fall and is being distributed to the program’s partner schools in Clinton County, and the cities of Indianapolis; Atlanta, Ga.; and New York City, N.Y. A school in Ghana, Africa, also is participating. Anyone can access a free online copy of the book at www.purdue.edu/svm engaged/sepa/activitybook3. The program’s title, Fat Dogs and Coughing Horses, represents the health issues of obesity and asthma – which is known as heaves in horses – that students can easily understand. The program

The Fat Dogs and Coughing Horses project, which is in the second year of its five-year grant, is supported by a Science E d u c a t i o n Partnership Award from the National Center for Research Resources, which is a component of the National Institutes of Health. The School of Veterinary Medicine is working with the Discovery Learning Research Center at Discovery Park, College of Education, College of Health and Human Sciences, Science Bound program and public schools in Indiana.

The featured scientists, who study what helps keep humans or animals healthy, also can visit classrooms to talk more about their careers and meet students. “It’s like having storybook characters come to life, and this reinforces the message that people of backdifferent grounds can be scientists,” Amass said. “Their stories also show young people the different areas of study: from how people age to heaves in horses and to food microbiology.” “How I Became a Scientist” was written by Kauline Davis, director of diversity initiatives with an appointment in the of Department C o m p a r a t i v e Pathobiology; Jessica Schneider, program coordinator in veterinary clinical sciences;

menting, the trade-offs involved in one choice over another, and the short- and long-run implications behind each decision. In short, you’re teaching how to manage under conditions of not just price volatility but also extremely low price levels.” One of the financial benefits of a recession is that it can be a time of low interest rates, which helps young people buy into a portion of the farm business if they are prepared. To make a successful transition in management, each farm should have a plan outlining leadership roles, marketing strategies, the direction of the business and other related concerns, Gloy said. Bringing in another generation affects the operation in so many ways that strong planning is a low-cost means of reducing some risks. “There can be very negative consequences for the farm business in the absence of a plan,” she said. “Farm families could jeopardize land and other assets.” There also are personal considerations, such as whether potential partners could work well with each other, said Robert Taylor, professor emeritus of agricultural economics. They also should consider whether the farm would (continued on page 19)

Finalists named for statewide Young Farmer awards Finalists have been selected for the two statewide awards given to young farmers by Indiana Farm Bureau. The overall winners of the Young Farmer Achievement Award and Young Farmer Excellence in Agriculture Award were announced Dec. 10 at IFB’s annual convention, which was held in Indianapolis. Indiana’s winners will then represent Indiana in the American Farm Bureau Farmer & Young Rancher contests, the winners of which will be announced during the AFBF convention in Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 9-12. The Young Farmer Achievement Award recognizes young farmers whose farm management techniques and commitment to their communities set a positive example for those involved in production agriculture. Among the finalists for the award were Orville and Jessica
Haney, Kosciusko County. Orville and Jessica live and work on the farm that has been in the same family for six generations. The operation currently includes about 120 cows on just under 570 acres near Akron, on which they raise corn, hay, wheat and oats in addition to pasture. Orville manages the farm in partnership with his father and brother, with all major decisions shared between the three of them. Jessica supplements the farm income by working as a nurse, and they have two children: Keith, 4, and Claire, 2. The Young Farmer Excellence in Agriculture Award recognizes young farmers who are involved in agriculture in ways other than as farm owners. Mike and Raylee Honeycutt, Marion County, were finalists for this award.
Mike and Raylee have backgrounds in agriculture, but they now live in Marion County. They nonetheless manage to stay involved in agriculture – Raylee is the marketing manager for CountryMark Co-op, a farmer-owned fuel cooperative, and Mike heads Leadership & the Educational Program Delivery Team at the National FFA Organization, which is headquartered in Indianapolis. They also stay involved in agriculture through Farm Bureau. Mike is the new Marion County Farm Bureau president and Raylee is county woman leader, and they serve as co-chairs of their county’s political action committee. The state Young Farmer Achievement Award winners receive a $6,000 cash prize from Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance; a $500 cash prize from Dodge; 250 hours maximum free
use of one M-Series tractor (and loader, if appropriate) courtesy of Kubota Tractor Corporation; and the David L. Leising Memorial Award, which includes a $200 savings bond. The winners of the state Young Farmer Excellence in Agriculture Award winner receive a John Deere Gator courtesy of Farm Credit Services; $3,000 cash prize from Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance; and a $500 cash prize from Dodge. In both contests, the winners receive an expenses-paid trip to the national convention in Atlanta, Ga., and the runners up receive a $1,000 cash prize from Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance.

CONVERSION: THE ULTIMATE IN LOAN FLEXIBILITY.
Younger farmers can learn from bad economy continue from page 18 Bringing in another generation affects the operation in so many ways that strong planning is a low-cost means of reducing some risks. “There can be very negative consequences for the farm business in the absence of a plan,” she said. “Farm families could jeopardize land and other assets.” There also are personal considerations, such as whether potential partners could work well with each other, said Robert Taylor, professor emeritus of agricultural economics. They also should consider whether the farm would generate enough income for each to make a living. “If we make a decision, it’s got to be good for both of us,” Taylor said. “It doesn’t work if the decision is good for
me and bad for you. Set the business up so that the decisions that are good for one guy are good for the other guy also.” Each person should work hard to improve the business relationship, Taylor said. “Make very sure I’m doing the best I can to be a good young or old partner,” he said. “Each person needs to recognize there is potential for difficulty. I need to work hard and not be difficult.” He said communication is important in a partnership, including understanding each other’s goals. The partnership can run into problems if each person heads in different directions. More than 95 percent of new farmers begin on their family farm. But if
there are no children to take over the business, a farmer might look for a young person outside the family who wants to get into farming, Taylor said. “The young guy gets the chance to farm, the old guy continues to farm and do what he can and be a part of the ongoing, vibrant business,” Taylor added. “He’s not chasing the cows when they’re out, but he’s helping with government programs because he can do that. So he gets the chance to continue farming for many years.” Taylor said young farmers should provide both labor and management, which includes identifying problems and suggesting solutions for how the farm could improve.

Julia Sermersheim transforms cloth, simply and expansively, into fiber and fabric art for a winter exhibition in Gallery G at Manchester College. The free show in the upper College Union on the North Manchester campus continues through March 27, 2011. Julia Sermersheim: Impress/Impression is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and noon to 3 p.m. when classes are in session. Her works for this show range from landscapes to abstract works, from the humble to quite contemporary. Price sheets are available in Gallery G. Sermersheim discovered her art passion in the early 1980s, crafting quilts with her mother.
She would strategically arrange her leftover blocks of cloth on the wall, eventually creating a fiber wall piece. Today, the seasoned artist captures influence from nature, magarchitecture azines, and the fine arts. “My newest pieces incorporate some of the fabric I have recently hand-dyed,” says the Jasper native. “These hand-dyed fabrics and other fabrics become a base for the newest process I have been experimenting with – silkscreen.” Sites of her recent exhibitions include Kentucky Wesleyan University, the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft and Swope Art Museum in Terre Haute. She is a recipient of the Phyllis
Dye Turner Award of Distinction. Sermersheim holds her bachelor’s and two master’s degrees in education, using her fabric artistry to help teach hearingimpaired students. For more about Julia Sermersheim, visit www.justjulia.com. For

Christmas festival tradition undergoes revival in Macy
What began as one of a child’s favorite Christmas memories will once again become a reality on Dec. 19. About 15 years ago the Town of Macy’s two churches teamed together to have a Christmas festival. There were three purposes for this festival: to honor Jesus and His birth, to tell some town history and to have some old-fashioned Christmas fun. When North Miami senior Connor Conley was required to do a service project, she decided to reinstate that Christmas festival. The project requires 30 hours of service. Conley pre-
(260) 359-8463 Hauenst ein R d. W est of W al-Mart Hauenstein Rd. West Wal-Mart
sented her idea to the Macy Good Start Committee and the Macy Christian Church. Both groups enthusiastically embraced Conley and her project. After several months of preparation, Conley’s favorite memory now has the potential to be passed along as a favorite memory for many more. The festival will be Dec. 19, 5 p.m., beginning with Santa coming into town, driven by elves in Jerry and Phyllis Calloway’s horse-drawn wagon. Teams of horses, mules (provided by Zartman Weakly) and wagons will allow all
participants to ride through the festival reliving history, viewing the live nativity scene and listening to caroling. Satisfy your appetite with the free soup dinner provided at the Christian Church Fellowship Hall. Stop by the sweet shop to purchase your favorite Christmas sweets: pies, cakes, cinnamon rolls and other favorites will be sale in the on Fellowship Hall with proceeds to benefit a needy family. Santa will be busy in his workshop at the Town Hall. He will be greeting young and old alike, supervising
Hiking can earn cash for parks with new iPhone app
Hiking and running or even walking around home or the office can now automatically benefit Indiana DNR State Parks and Reservoirs when Hoosiers use a new application on their iPhone. Those enjoying the outdoors and exercising pay nothing; they just run or walk while toting their iPhone. The funds that come to Indiana’s state parks and reservoirs from this effort go into the Discovering the Outdoors Fund, which, as it grows, will help defray the cost of field trips for children to Indiana’s state parks and reservoirs. This fund, managed by the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation, was established in memory of long-time DNR employee and interpretive services supporter Tom Huck. The money that goes to support Indiana’s state parks and reservoirs comes from ad revenue from the application. The more steps the user takes, the more Indiana’s state parks and reservoirs get. Much like a pedometer, the app records the user’s steps. Once finished, the user submits his or her steps and

Second quarter separates Lady Knights from Lady Norse MC basketball programs each pick up conference win
SOUTHWOOD’S ABBY HARNESS (25) puts up a shot over the outstretched arms of several Northfield defenders during their game on Dec. 10. Harness scored eight points to help the Lady Knights defeat the Lady Norse 36-23 on the road. (photo by Shaun Tilghman)
by Shaun Tilghman The Southwood Lady Knights looked to pick up their second straight win On Dec. 10 as they traveled to Northfield, where the Lady Norse were trying to record their second win of the season. The cross-town rivals played three quarters of evenly matched basketball, but the Lady Knights put together a big second quarter effort that would prove the difference in their 3623 win. Sarah White got things started for Southwood by hitting two free throws early in the game. Northfield answered when Alyssa Richter got a steal and made a
nice pass ahead to Katie Stephan for the score. Sydney Reed then made good on two free throws before White connected on a trey. Neither team was able to score for over four minutes, but Stephan made a bucket at the 1:03 mark to give the Lady Norse a 6-5 lead after one. White opened the second quarter with a basket to give her team the lead. Northfield’s Morgan Peas then made a free throw to tie things up, but from there it was all Southwood. The Lady Knights outscored the Lady Norse 14-2 in the stanza getting five from White, three from Kaley Harness, and
two each from Jessica Pegg, Abby Harness, and Ana Marie Farlow – making it 198 at the break. After a second quarter in which Northfield was at the charity stripe six times and Southwood eight, neither team attempted a free throw in the third. Four Lady Knights recorded baskets to give their team eight points, while Sydney Elztroth hit a two- and a three-pointer and Reed scored two to give the Lady Norse seven. With one quarter to play, Southwood still held a 12-point lead, 27-15. Elztroth scored first for Northfield to narrow the gap to 10, then a basket by Abby
Harness and a threepoint play from White made the score 32-17. Southwood extended their lead to 17 with 2:06 left to play, but Stephan and Michelle Hendricks gave Northfield the last two baskets of the contest, making the final 36-23. White led all scorers with 17 points, while Abby Harness added eight for the Lady Knights. Elztroth scored seven points, to go with eight steals and seven rebounds, leading the Lady Norse. S o u t h w o o d improved to 3-4 on the year with the win. The loss dropped Northfield to 1-6 this season.
Manchester College (MC) hosted a basketball doubleheader on Dec. 11, as the women’s and men’s programs each faced their respective counterparts from Mount St. Joseph in H e a r t l a n d Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) action. Women’s game The women’s basketball team got the day off to a positive start with a 65-61 win in the early game. Manchester held a 34-22 lead at the half, shooting 11-of23 from the floor and 4-of-7 from the perimeter. They extended their lead to as many as 18 in the second half, 5032 with just under 10 minutes remaining, but Mount St. Joseph battled back to within one point with 1:14 left in the game. The Spartans were able to hang on, however, resulting in the 65-61 victory. Senior Kelsey DeMott led MC with 16 points, nine rebounds, two steals and two assists. Junior Alex Starkey was 4-of-7 from the floor and had 11 points, five assists and two steals. Erynn Meiklejohn, a first year, added 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, to go with eight rebounds and three blocked shots. Manchester improves to 3-5 on the year, 3-1 in the HCAC. Men’s game The men’s squad secured the sweep for Manchester by recording a victory in the late game, 8174.
MC took a 40-18 lead into the half, holding Mount St. Joseph to just 18 percent field goal shooting in the first half. The Spartans went up by as many as 32 in the second half, including a 6533 lead with 10 minutes remaining before MSJ closed out the half with a big run to make it an 81-74 final. Senior Tyler Delauder scored 17 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor and was 4-of-6 from the perimeter;
he also had four steals and three assists. Senior Mitch Schaefer hit 4-of-7 shots from the three-point arc on his way to 16 points and six rebounds. Senior Tyler Henn added 12 points and 15 rebounds, while junior Jason Spindler contributed 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting with eight rebounds and five blocked shots. Manchester improves to 4-3 on the year, 2-1 in the HCAC.

THE LAGRO T O W N S H I P TOURISM BOARD has so many people to thank for such a wonderful day on Dec. 4. Our second annual Christmas in A Canal Town was wonderful. We measure our success by the positive feedback we receive, and once again, so many people have responded so positively to our event that we know Christmas in A Canal Town, Act III will be on the books for next year. We are not sure where to begin with the thanks, so we will start at the Lagro Community Church. Thank you to the members of the church who help each year, most especially this year to Joyce Speelman and Pastor Joel Murray, who coordinated the activities for their church. Thank you to the vendors who prefer to be at Lagro Community Church, and to Suzan Hamilton, Glynna Harmon, and Tami Harmon for the beautiful music they played all afternoon. Christmas in a Canal Town began with the help of Community Church and we can’t imagine trying to do CIACT without you. Next on the Thank You list is Joe and Lou Studio, who have coordinated activities at the Log Cabin for the past two years, and to all the singers and vendors who like to be at the Log Cabin. The many musical acts, face painting, kettle corn, outdoor vendors and warming campfire is enjoyed by so many people. Lagro United Methodist Church has been another friend for the past two years. Last year, they hosted the Kids Klub Choir. This year, they welcomed vendors into the Fellowship Hall, as well as hosting a luncheon/early dinner for people. Without Monica Sparling and all the women of Lagro UMC, we would be lost. They are there to help out, always encouraging and ready to try new endeavors, year after year. Adding to the fun at the Lagro UMC was a wonderful
Lagro
Amanda Lyons
260-563-8091 • lagronewscolumn@gmail.com performance by God’s Country. Thanks to all of you! St. Patrick’s Church is a historic place, and for the past two years history has been made with the wonderful events at this venue. Last year, the church hosted the Madrigal Singers. This year it was Steve Henderson, former Northfield High School Choir Director, directing a choir of nearly 40 people in a glorious concert of religious and secular music. Nearly 200 people crowded into St. Patrick’s to hear the concert. We thank each member of the choir for your commitment to practices since Oct. 31, and we only hope that the suggestion that you make it bigger and better for 2011 was heard by one and all. And thanks, especially, to Peggy Coppler who coordinated the effort and the Friends of St. Patrick’s for readying the church. It is beautiful and a rare jewel for any community. Bethel Church manned the beautiful nativity outside St.
Patrick’s Church. How solemn and beautiful it was to pay homage to the Holy Family after such a magnificent concert. Thanks to cast members of the nativity. The end of the day brought a lighted horse and carriage parade. This was the first year for the event. Those who were able to see the parade enjoyed it immensely. Next year, we hope for a larger turnout and an earlier parade so that everyone can enjoy the horses/carriages, little donkey, ponies, fire truck, and anyone who wants to be in a Christmas Parade. We could go on and on. How much fun is it to watch the community that is so familiar become a wonderland for so many people? The Lagro Township Tourism Board has one goal, to increase the knowledge of all the wonderful activities available in Lagro Township to those that have yet to experience it. Already we have ideas for a bigger and better next year. We hope that on Dec. 3,
2011, you will come out and enjoy everything that Lagro Township has to offer. Our final thank you goes to our local newspaper, the Wabash Plain Dealer and Amanda Lyons column of Lagro News in The Paper. They have encouraged us and saluted us with their coverage of our events the past two years. Without your coverage, it would be so much harder to make Wabash County aware of our efforts. Thank you so much. L A G R O C O M M U N I T Y CHURCH services on Dec. 19 will begin at 10 a.m. with Pastor Joel Murray’s sermon on his series on “Angels”. The Sunday school department will present special music led by Barb Marshall and Loretta Dillon. Tom and Bill Burnsworth will be the greeters and ushers. Betty Murray will be the acolyte. The elders will give the Advent reading. Bonnie Meredith will announce the hymns, and Suzan Hamilton will be the musician. Fellowship and refreshments will follow the service. Christmas Eve candlelight service will be at 7 p.m. on Dec. 24, provided the weather cooperates. Our thanks
to all who contributed to our food pantry this month. We are certainly blessed with your generosity. LAGRO UNITED M E T H O D I S T CHURCH will observe the fourth Sunday in Advent during the 9 a.m. worship service on Dec. 19. The Burcroff family will be the greeters. Scripture reading will be from Micah 5:1-5a. Rev. Rick Borgman will give the message, “Have you chosen God?” The Women’s Guild will meet for their annual Christmas Dinner on Dec. 21 at 6:30 p.m. Clara Swan will be hostess. Members are asked to bring a covered dish to share, a bingo prize, and gift exchange. DEADLINE FOR NEWS is each Wednesday by noon.

Sheriff Striker encourages safe driving Dear editor, With onset of winter upon us, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department encourages its drivers to be aware that winter driving can be treacherous. As a result, all drivers need to be prepared for dangerous road conditions. Snow is inevitable this winter. And, like it or not, it’s going to happen sooner rather than later. The following tips for winter driving, which can be treacherous. Avoid driving while fatigued. Getting the proper amount of rest before taking on winter weather driving reduces driving risks. Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage. Make certain tires are properly inflated and don’t mix radial tires with other tire types. Keep gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up. If possible, avoid using parking brake in cold, rainy and snowy weather. Don’t use cruise control when driving on a slippery surface (wet, ice). Always look and steer where you want to go. Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle. Before leaving home, check traffic and weather reports on TV, radio or websites. Be aware of statewide travel alerts and road conditions. Clear snow and ice from car surfaces before driving. Snow on the hood can blow toward the windshield and limit visibility. Keep safety equipment, spare parts and food and water in the car. Keep your cell phone fully charged. Drive with headlights on. If you need to pull over, stay with your vehicle, where you’ll be safer. Call for help on your cell phone, or hang a colorful cloth from your window or antenna. Using common sense is encouraged when driving in blizzard-like conditions. Drive safely to avoid our officers from having to respond to your particular situation. Sheriff Leroy Striker

Conners thank Animal Shelter community for supporter shares story support of Help Portrait Dear editor, Help Portrait was a huge success on Dec. 4. We helped 23 families, 77 individuals. These ladies, couples and families were so very thankful and appreciative for their Help Portraits. We would like to start off by thanking The Paper for the nice articles that ran for two weeks. Many of the people attending saw this and came. We would like to thank C/S Printing for being so gracious to donate 250 4x6 dual side Help Portrait Cards. Jo Wagner, Curves, let us use their facility for the day. Jennie Terrell, Peebles Realty, and Jane Cole gave monetary donations that we used to purchase 23 WalMart gift cards that were included with the individual CDs so they could purchase their choice of prints from their sessions. We would like to thank our wonderful volunteers who all worked so hard and donated their time and energy: Stacy Beatty and Angie Hough, registration; Pam Smith, Super Cuts in Indianapolis; Justin Kelly, Painted Lady, and Jeff Leslie, Center Court Barbershop, for haircuts and styling; Aimee Emrick, Get Nailed, for doing make-up; and our wonderful photographers, Winter Lawson, Four Seasons Photography, Chris Whonstetler, Whonstetler Photography, Amy Brown, Amy Brown Photography, Lyn Dahl, Lyn Dahl Photo Graphics, Tricia Barton, Passion Photography by Trish, and Scott and Brandy Conner, Creative Captures Photography. Caprial and Jordan Conner provided entertainment for the children and Tom and Sarah Cochran and Emily Haarer shared their excitement and enthusiasm video recording the testimonials. Last, but not least, thank you to everyone that attended our first annual Help Portrait. If would not have been a success without you. We are already so excited and looking forward to next year. Brandy and Scott Conner
have one thing to say to the old owners. They made a huge mistake by treating her so badly. She turned out to be a fantastic little dog and her new owners would never give her up for anything. The common misperception is that if a beagle does not hunt well then it’s not worth keeping and taking care of. Well the people that think that are so wrong. In my book they are the same as any other house dog. I have two of them now and they do not

hunt nor do I want them to. If they want to sleep all day they can and if they want to play all day they can do that too. If anyone is looking to get an animal, be sure that you are able to take care of it. Please adopt from a shelter, do not buy from a breeder. Shelter dogs make wonderful pets too. Sherry and the Wabash Shelter can use all the help you give them. can Please help them; any donation is greatly appreciated.

Wabash County YMCA
Dear editor, I would like to say thank you to the staff at the Wabash County Animal Shelter, especially Animal Control Warden Sherry Cox. Sherry went above and beyond her call of duty for me when my husband and I a little adopted female beagle about nine months ago from the shelter. I am from Northern Wisconsin. Sherry had sent me an email with a picture of the beagle we now call Brandy. When we saw Brandy’s picture we both fell in love with her. We adopted her without even meeting her first. Sherry drove five hours to meet us halfway so we could pick Brandy up. Brandy had been badly mistreated and left to fend for herself on the street by her previous socalled owners. Well I

New surgeon general’s report shows immediate need for strong tobacco control programs A new U.S. Surgeon General’s Report was released Dec. 9 that provides a stark reminder of how lethal and addictive smoking is for everyone. This report underscores the importance of actions to prevent kids from starting to smoke, helping smokers quit and protecting everyone’s right to breathe clean air. “Exposure to tobacco smoke causes immediate damage to your body. The next cigarette you smoke can be the cigarette that is the trigger for a deadly heart or asthma attack, or damage your DNA which can lead to cancer,” says Dan Gray, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition coordinator. Efforts are always being made to educate the youth of Wabash County about the dangers of tobacco and provide cessation classes for all that are ready to quit their tobacco use. Educating is the beginning of prevention. There are County Town Hall meetings being scheduled in February to educate Wabash County Hoosiers the dangers of secondhand smoke and what can be done to protect the health of all Hoosiers in Wabash County. In the new report there is biological evidence that suggests each cigarette is doing immediate damage and the sooner the smoker quits, the better. The message is clear, it is important to act now to reduce adult smoking in Indiana. The report also finds that today’s cigarettes are designed to deliver nicotine more efficiently to the brain, addicting kids more quickly and making it harder for smokers to quit. Today’s tobacco products are designed for addiction. “This report stresses the need for a strong tobacco prevention and cessation program like we have had for the last 10 years in Indiana. Reducing tobac-
co use is one of the most effective ways to protect our state’s health and prevent deadly and costly diseases such as cancer and heart attacks by preventing kids from starting and helping adults quit,” added Dan Gray. The Surgeon General’s report details the serious health effects of even brief exposure to tobacco smoke. It concludes that: Tobacco smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals, including hundreds that are toxic and at least 70 that cause cancer. Every exposure to the cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage DNA in a way that leads to cancer. Exposure to secondhand smoke has an immediate adverse impact on the cardiovascular system, damaging blood vessels, making blood more likely to clot and increasing risks for heart attack and stroke. Smoking makes it harder for women to get pregnant and can cause miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight. It also harms male fertility. According to Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, “There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke. Every
inhalation of tobacco smoke exposes our children, our families, and our loved ones to dangerous chemicals that can damage their bodies and result in life-threatening diseases such as cancer and heart disease.” It is imperative for Indiana to continue its progress; in 2009, smoking rates declined to an historic low rate of 23.1 percent representing a highly significant downward trend in adult smoking between 2001-2009 (down from 27.4 percent in 2001 to 23.1 percent in 2009). Indiana now has 208,000 fewer smokers than just 10 years ago, but nevertheless Indiana still ranks below nearly every other state in the country (Indiana ranks 45 in smoking rate). There are still more than one million smokers in Indiana and the costs continue to mount up. Each year there are 9,700 deaths in Indiana due to tobacco use. There are over 194,000 Hoosiers living with serious tobacco-related illness. The tobacco use burden to the Indiana economy is $7.7 billion in annual costs. Indiana spends a total of $487 million each year on Medicaid payments
caused by tobacco use. The report and related materials can be found at www.surgeongeneral.gov. For any information, to schedule someone to speak about the dangers of tobacco and secondhand smoke, or cessation classes, call Dan at 5637727. Cessation classes are offered at the YMCA once a quarter, there is also a 1800-QUIT-NOW call that can be made for free counseling and NRT. We all need to work together to protect the health of everyone in Wabash County by being aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke in public areas and doing something to prevent it. Just as the Surgeon General alliterated, “There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke. Every inhalation of tobacco smoke exposes our children, our families and our loved ones to dangerous chemicals that can damage their bodies and result in lifethreatening diseases such as cancer and heart disease.” Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition is a Youth Service Bureau program. Youth Service Bureau of Wabash County is a United Fund agency.

Ted Yoder to perform on Dec. 19 Ted Yoder plays the hammer dulcimer and its like nothing you have heard before. Yoder’s skill garnered attention in July 2010 when he won the title of Kentucky State Hammered Dulcimer Grand Champion and on Sept. 18 he advanced to the National Hammer Dulcimer Championship and now holds the title, “2010 National Hammer Dulcimer Champion.” It is amazing what one man can do with two hammers, 91 strings, a few digital toys and a lot of ingenuity. Some of Ted’s public events include the opening act at the Blue Gate Theater, Gebhard Woods Dulcimer Festival, Gaither Fall Festival, Charley Creek Arts Festival, Day of Healing and Bill and Gloria Gaither’s company Christmas party. Yoder’s music has been influenced by the music of Acoustic Alchemy and Rich Mullins. Like his predecessors, his composition and arrangements are fresh, energetic pieces of art. Yoder’s debut album, an EP titled “Hymns”, was released in July 2009 and already he has independently released his second album, an EP of acoustic songs titled “Songs From Walnut Valley.” It features songs that Yoder
performed in competition for the title of National Grand Champion in Winfield, Kan. Most of the songs on this CD were composed by Yoder, exclusively for performance on the hammer dulcimer and this recording really shows the sparkle of Yoder’s musical expression. Yoder was set to release his first fulllength CD, an album of Christmas music, in November 2010. Yoder grew up in a small town in Indiana and learned at an early age how to please a
crowd, singing four-part harmonies with his parents and five siblings. The love of performing was deeply embedded through those experiences and today he still loves to sing an occasional folk song in his concerts. Yoder naturally progressed from singing and piano lessons in childhood to keyboards and drum programming in his teenage years. When he was married in 1997, he and his wife, Donna, were already dreaming of purchasing a hammered dulcimer, so when his in-laws gave
them the money as a wedding gift they were ecstatic. Thirteen years later, they find themselves busy with six wonderful children, ages 12 to 2 years, and two very large and beautiful dulcimers. Yoder’s current repertoire includes Christmas music, modern contemporary music, a sprinkling of classical selections, hymns, his own original compositions and even a few Beatles’ tunes. Yoder will perform Dec. 19, 10:45 a.m., at Wabash Alliance Church.
Planning the Future of Wabash County Through Your Eyes Starting in January 2011 the Wabash County Plan Commission will begin the process of writing the new county comprehensive plan.
This process will involve numerous public meetings held throughout the county to gather input from the general public.

A new U.S. Surgeon General’s Report was released Dec. 9 that provides a stark reminder of how lethal and addictive smoking is for everyone. This report underscores the importance of actions to prevent kids from starting to smoke, helping smokers quit and protecting everyone’s right to breathe clean air. “Exposure to tobacco smoke causes immediate damage to your body. The next cigarette you smoke can be the cigarette that is the trigger for a deadly heart or asthma attack, or damage your DNA which can lead to cancer,” says Dan Gray, Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition coordinator. Efforts are always being made to educate the youth of Wabash County about the dangers of tobacco and cessation provide classes for all that are ready to quit their tobacco use. Educating is the beginning of prevention. There are County Town Hall meetings being scheduled in February to educate Wabash County Hoosiers the dangers of secondhand smoke and what can be done to protect the health of all Hoosiers in Wabash County. In the new report there is biological evidence that suggests each cigarette is doing immediate damage and the sooner the smoker quits, the better. The message is clear, it is important to act now to reduce adult smoking in Indiana. The report also finds that today’s cigarettes are designed to deliver nicotine more efficiently to the brain, addicting kids more quickly and making it harder for smokers to quit. Today’s tobacco products are designed for addiction. “This report stresses the need for a strong tobacco prevention and cessation program like we have had for the last 10 years in Indiana. Reducing tobacco use is one of the most effective ways to protect our state’s health and prevent deadly and costly diseases such as cancer and heart attacks by preventing kids from starting and helping adults quit,” added Dan Gray. The Surgeon General’s report details the serious health effects of even brief exposure to tobacco smoke. It concludes that: Tobacco smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals, including
hundreds that are toxic and at least 70 that cause cancer. Every exposure to the cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage DNA in a way that leads to cancer. Exposure to secondhand smoke has an adverse immediate impact on the cardiovascular system, damaging blood vessels, making blood more likely to clot and increasing risks for heart attack and stroke. Smoking makes it harder for women to get pregnant and can cause miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight. It also harms male fertility. According to Surgeon General Benjamin, Regina “There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke. Every inhalation of tobacco smoke exposes our children, our families, and our loved ones to dangerous chemicals that can damage their bodies and result in lifethreatening diseases such as cancer and heart disease.” It is imperative for Indiana to continue its
progress; in 2009, smoking rates declined to an historic low rate of 23.1 percent representing a highly significant downward trend in adult smoking between 2001-2009 (down from 27.4 percent in 2001 to 23.1 percent in 2009). Indiana now has 208,000 fewer smokers than just 10 years ago, but nevertheless Indiana still ranks below nearly every other state in the country (Indiana ranks 45 in smoking rate). There are still more than one million smokers in Indiana and the costs continue to mount up. Each year there are 9,700 deaths in Indiana due to tobacco use. There are over 194,000 Hoosiers living with serious tobaccorelated illness. The tobacco use burden to the Indiana economy is $7.7 billion in annual costs. Indiana spends a total of $487 million each year on Medicaid payments caused by tobacco use. The report and related materials can be found at www.surgeongeneral.gov. For any information,
to schedule someone to speak about the dangers of tobacco and secondhand smoke, or cessation classes, call Dan at 563-7727. Cessation classes are offered at the YMCA once a quarter, there is also a 1-800-QUIT-NOW call that can be made for free counseling and NRT. We all need to work together to protect the health of everyone in Wabash County by being aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke in public areas and doing something to prevent it. Just as the Surgeon General alliterated, “There is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke. Every inhalation of tobacco smoke exposes our children, our families and our loved ones to dangerous chemicals that can damage their bodies and result in lifethreatening diseases such as cancer and heart disease.” Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition is a Youth Service Bureau program. Youth Service Bureau of Wabash County is a United Fund agency.
ANGEL SHEPHERD and her family were presented with the keys to their new home in Roann as part of the Habitat for Humanity program. According to Mike Davenport, project leader, the house took workers – anywhere from six to nine guys each day – over nine weeks to finish. The house became the 13th Habitat for Humanity house constructed within Wabash County.

Yoder’s skill garnered attention in July 2010 when he won the title of Kentucky State Hammered Dulcimer Grand Champion and on Sept. 18 he advanced to the National Hammer Dulcimer Championship and now holds the title, “2010 National Hammer Dulcimer Champion.” It is amazing what one man can do with two hammers, 91 strings, a few digital toys and a lot of ingenuity. Some of Ted’s public events include the opening act at the Blue Gate Theater, Gebhard Woods Dulcimer Festival, Gaither Fall Festival, Charley Creek Arts Festival, Day of Healing and Bill and Gloria Gaither’s company Christmas party. Yoder’s music has been influenced by the music of Acoustic Alchemy and Rich Mullins. Like his predecessors, his composition and arrangements are fresh, energetic pieces of art. Yoder’s debut album, an EP titled “Hymns”, was released in July 2009 and already he has independently released his second album, an EP of acoustic songs titled “Songs From Walnut Valley.” It features songs that Yoder
performed in competition for the title of National Grand Champion in Winfield, Kan. Most of the songs on this CD were composed by Yoder, exclusively for performance on the hammer dulcimer and this recording really shows the sparkle of Yoder’s musical expression. Yoder was set to release his first fulllength CD, an album of Christmas music, in November 2010. Yoder grew up in a small town in Indiana and learned at an early age how to please a
crowd, singing four-part harmonies with his parents and five siblings. The love of performing was deeply embedded through those experiences and today he still loves to sing an occasional folk song in his concerts. Yoder naturally progressed from singing and piano lessons in childhood to keyboards and drum programming in his teenage years. When he was married in 1997, he and his wife, Donna, were already dreaming of purchasing a hammered dulcimer, so when his in-laws gave
them the money as a wedding gift they were ecstatic. Thirteen years later, they find themselves busy with six wonderful children, ages 12 to 2 years, and two very large and beautiful dulcimers. Yoder’s current repertoire includes Christmas music, modern contemporary music, a sprinkling of classical selections, hymns, his own original compositions and even a few Beatles’ tunes. Yoder will perform Dec. 19, 10:45 a.m., at Wabash Alliance Church.
Planning the Future of Wabash County Through Your Eyes Starting in January 2011 the Wabash County Plan Commission will begin the process of writing the new county comprehensive plan.
This process will involve numerous public meetings held throughout the county to gather input from the general public.

Traditional Christmas music will blend with the spicy aroma of hot cider at the third annual program at the Old German School on Dec. 19 at 6:30 p.m. Lighted luminaras will guide the path to the building where the Sharp Creek Singers will entertain, accompanied by guitar and dulcimer. The Christmas Story in St. Luke will be read in German and Melissa Westfall, a sixth-generation descendant of the original Schenkel family will sing Stille Nacht.

34 Fruit Basket Inn under new ownership www.thepaperofwabash.com
by Aaron Turner When Robert and Eileen Sklar first saw the “For Sale” sign strategically placed behind some bushes of the Fruit Basket Inn, located at 116 W. Main St., North Manchester, the Philadelphia duo with Indiana ties didn’t think much of it. But on their return to the bed and breakfast a year later the sign was more visible, displayed very plainly in the business’ front yard. “We were just in awe that the Fruitt Basket was for sale,” Eileen said. “We’ve been coming here for a few years, and to know that it was on
the market just about broke our hearts.” Eileen, primarily, has the ties to North Manchester. Her grandparents grew up in North Manchester and she is very familiar with the Wabash County area. Robert, on the other hand, has family in the big cities. But after the two talked, both decided that the opportunity to own a business in a small town was just what they wanted. So on Oct. 25, after three years of staying in the four-room inn, the couple shored up financing and took possession. Since then, it’s been a whirlwind of activi-
ty and well-wishes. “Every place we go, whether it’s to the grocery or just in town, people are always coming up to us and thanking us for keeping it open and welcoming us to town,” Eileen said. “We’re so happy to be here. It’s refreshing after being in the big city for so long.” The facility, which originally opened as a bed and breakfast in 1987, maintains most of its original woodwork, which dates back to the 1800s. “We figure the house dates back to the turn of the 19th Century,” Eileen said. “There’s so much history that goes along
with this place that we just had to give it a try.” The Sklars said they just wish to provide a service to the North Manchester community. “Whether it’s helping with Little Sib weekend at the college, or like when two ladies came up from Indianapolis for shopping at the local stores, we hope we can help fill a need,” Eileen said. And, the transition to Middle American life isn’t too bad either. “In Philadelphia, our kids could play on our street, but that was about it,” Eileen “Now, our said.

Hunger in Wabash County addressed at local sites Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana supplies a growing demand of food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, and other agencies that feed the hungry in Wabash County. Wabash County has reached a record milestone for food distribution this year. Three agencies receive food from Second Harvest Food Bank including two pantries and one youth program. Fellowship Food Pantry has seen more large families coming to the pantry for help. “We are glad for what we get from Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana. The commodities have helped tremendously these last few months. We are able to give out a
variety of items,” said Rowena Greer, Fellowship Food P a n t r y Coordinator. This year through November, Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana has distributed 491,653 pounds of food through Wabash County programs, compared to 288,102 pounds during the same time last year, representing a 71 percent increase. Lois Rockhill, Second Harvest Executive Director, is excited about reaching a new milestone for food distribution, saying, “Our total distribution this year throughout East Central Indiana will be nearly 8.5 million pounds. That is up from 5.5 million last year. While we are pleased to be able to address hunger
with more food, we have 73,000 people in this region who are food insecure— they are not always sure there will be food to put on the table, the money is just not there. We are so thankful for the thousands of people who reach out, through Second Harvest, to make a difference for their neighbors. With their help, we will continue to work toward a hunger free community.” In Wabash County Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana serves Fellowship Food Pantry, Wabash County Council on Aging, and the Youth Service Bureau of Wabash County. Food for hunger relief is also distributed through the Second Harvest Tailgate Program.
