THE PAPER Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

December 28, 2011

How far they’ve comeWabash Donut Shoppe owners are appreciative

Phats attribute success to hard work, community support by Shaun Tilghman features@nmpaper.com When Andy and Vanra Phat took over the Wabash Donut Shoppe in 1988, it marked the realization of a longtime dream to own their own business. While many individuals all over the country share a similar dream, most will never have to endure the hardships Mr. and Mrs. Phat did en route to reaching that goal – a fact that only makes them appreciate their opportunity so much more. Andy and Vanra were teenagers living in Cambodia when the Khmer Rouge (literally translated as Red Cambodians or “Communist Cambodians”) became the ruling party in 1975, which marked the start of the Cambodian Civil War. At that time, they were each taken from their parents and forced to work the fields in labor camps. “We were students at the time, but they (the Khmer Rouge) shut down all of the schools,” explained Andy. “Even the markets were closed, and people were given three days to gather the things they could carry before leaving their homes. It was a very bad time – her parents were killed and my sister and her three-month-old baby were killed.” Vanra added, “When they took me away from my parents I was 16 or 17 years old – I was sure I was never going to see home again. The year from 1976-77 was the worst time of my life. Eventually they put my name on a list, which meant they were going to kill me next, so I had to escape. Escaping through the jungle was very, very hard.” According to Andy, they escaped from Cambodia in 1979, and took refuge in Thailand. The United Nations would only allow them asylum for a certain time, so they left Thailand in 1981, headed for the U.S. “We were lucky to make it to the United States,” he continued, “the land of freedom and opportunity. If the United States hadn’t accepted us, we don’t know where we would have gone. ”We love to live here. We’ve been through so much, and we appreciate it so much more because of the background we have. The United States gave us so much freedom and the opportunity to find success.” Before taking ownership of the donut shop, located at 455 S. Wabash St., in Wabash, Andy and Vanra worked several factory jobs to try to save some money. (continued on page 16)

BMV unveils new “In God We Trust” license plate and presents special Medal of Honor plate

DEPICTED ABOVE is the updated design of Indiana’s popular “In God We Trust” license plate. This plate will be available for new or renewed vehicle registrations in 2012. (photo provided)

R. Scott Waddell, Commissioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), recently honored Sergeant Sammy Davis, Indiana’s only living recipient of the U. S. Medal of Honor, with a uniquely designed license plate that he will receive with his 2012 registration renewal. Waddell commented, “Sergeant Sammy Davis is a distinguished citizen of Indiana who has honored this state with his unselfish service to our Nation in cause of freedom. Governor Daniels believed that Sergeant Davis earned the right to have this unique Indiana license plate as an expression of gratitude and appreciation of his fellow Hoosiers.” Commissioner Waddell also unveiled

an updated design of Indiana’s popular “In God We Trust” license plate that will be available for new or renewed vehicle registrations in 2012. Commissioner Waddell explained that the redesign of the “In God We Trust” license plate accommodates the BMV’s new licensing plate numbering system. He noted that all standard and specialty plates have been, or will be, redesigned by the end of 2013 to remove the small stacked letters and allow up to six larger letters and numbers. The new universal plate layout will allow the BMV to eliminate duplicate numbers across all plate types. The revised layout was developed in consultation with the state police for improved readability.

Waddell added the design and printing method for the new plate will save taxpayers $1.5 million in production costs over the five-year life of the plate design. Indiana law requires that a new license plate be issued every five years. The “In God We Trust” license plate was established by the State Legislature in 2006 as an optional standard plate with no additional fee. In 2007, Hoosiers purchased 1,611,087 “In God We Trust” license plates, and in 2010 the number sold increased to 1,944,771 or 30 percent of all registrations. Commissioner Waddell also reported that a record 44 percent of all BMV transactions were now being completed outside of a license com-

pared to just 15 percent in 2007. He noted, “Over the past five years we implemented many new and easier ways for customers to do business with the BMV. Many BMV transactions can be now processed online at the myBMV.com website, by mail and through our Customer Contact phone center. By moving these simple transactions from the branches, our license branch staff is more available to assist customers with more complicated transactions that must be completed at a branch.” “In 2011, nearly 70 percent of all vehicle registration (license plate) renewals have

been completed outside of a license branch. Online driver’s license renewal is the most recently added service, and this year 24 percent of driver’s license renewals have been online. Many of these were customers whose licenses expired in 2012 and who heeded our recommendation to renew early.”

The Indiana Department of Financial Institutions issued its approval of the conversion on Dec. 15 based on its review of the conversion application and the joint examination of MutualBank it conducted with the Federal Deposit I n s u r a n c e Corporation, which will be the Bank’s primary federal regulator after the conversion is effective. The Office of the Comptroller accepted the Bank’s notice of the charter conversion. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago has

approved the Company’s application to become a bank holding company upon the effectiveness of the conversion of MutualBank to a commercial bank. The Registrant anticipates that this conversion will be effective Jan. 1, 2012. David Heeter, president and CEO of the company, said, “We are pleased to conform our financial institution charter to one that better reflects who we are, a community commercial bank serving the markets in which we have offices. This charter conversion eliminates certain percentage of limits on the amount of our

consumer and commercial lending and is expected to reduce our regulatory assessments. After a thorough exam, we are pleased the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC will be our primary regulators.” MutualBank, is well capitalized and strong by all regulatory standards.

Agriculture Secretary Vilsack announces funding to create jobs, reduce energy costs for agricultural producers and rural small businesses

Ag riculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently announced loans and grants for agricultural producers and rural small businesses across the country to implement renewable energy and energy efficiency measures in their operations. The funding is provided through USDA Rural Development’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). Under Secretary for Rural Development Dallas Tonsager made the announcement on behalf of Secretary Vilsack while attending an energy efficiency conference. “Stable energy costs create an environment for job growth in rural America,” Vilsack said. “The Obama Administration is helping agricultural producers and business owners reduce their energy costs and consumption - and by doing so is helping preserve our natural resources, protect the environment and strengthen the bottom line for businesses, ranchers and farm operations.” Collectively, these REAP-funded projects are expected to lower energy usage by 2 billion kilowatts and prevent nearly 2 million metric tons of emissions from being released into the environment. The announcement concludes the REAP awards cycle for 2011. REAP, authorized through the 2008 Farm Bill, provides loans and grants for farmers, ranchers and rural small business owners to pur-

chase and install renewable energy systems and make energy-efficiency improvements. These federal dollars are leveraged with other funding sources for the projects. Tonsager said that in Fiscal Year 2011, USDA Rural Development provided through the REAP program a total of $23.2 million for energy efficiency projects, $20.9 million for biodigesters, $20.3 million for solar energy projects, $8.2 million for hydroelectric systems, $7 million for biomass energy projects, $4.28 million for flexible fuel pump projects, $3.9 million for wind energy projects, $1.4 million for geothermal installations. One recipient announced, Wilford J. Hayden in Lowell is expected to save almost 1.4 million kilowatt hours when he replaces a grain dryer with a more efficient one. K and K Farms, Inc., in Stuart, Iowa, has been selected to receive a $10,737 grant to help purchase a new grain drying system that is expected to reduce annual energy costs by more than 57 percent. Under Secretary Tonsager noted that the nearby Port of New Orleans moves more than half of the nation’s grain exports, and that the more fuel efficient grain dryers that USDA is helping to fund contributes to that success. “The Port of New Orleans is considered America’s gateway to the global market. It

helped American farm exports reach a record high of $137.4 billion for fiscal year 2011 — supporting 1.15 million jobs, and creating a record trade surplus of $42.9 billion,” said Tonsager. “As Secretary Vilsack stated last month, strong export performance means higher incomes for farmers and ranchers, more opportunities for small business owners and jobs for folks who package, ship and market agricultural products.” With the announcement, USDA Rural Development is funding more than 280 projects to help reduce energy costs. In all, the department funded more than 1,100 energy efficiency projects in fiscal year 2011, including improvements in aquaculture, poultry lighting and ventilation, irrigation system upgrades, maple syrup production efficiency, small business heating and cooling, rural grocery cooler replacement and others. USDA is providing support for 12 flexible fuel pump projects in eight states as part of the announcement, bringing the number of flex-fuel projects funded to 65 in FY 2011, with 266 new pumps being installed in 30 states. Installing flexible fuel pumps encourages the use of biofuels and supports our nation’s growing clean-energy economy. Flexible fuel pumps are specifically designed to dispense ethanol-gasoline blends that contain up to 85 percent

ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. In addition, they may also dispense mid-level blends, such as E15 and E30. For example, MidIowa Cooperative in Beaman, Iowa, has been selected for a $94,211 grant to purchase and install six flexible fuel pumps. USDA Rural Development also is funding several other types of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects through the REAP program. For example, Kyle Van Dyke has been selected to receive a grant to help replace a conventional heating system for his Edgerton, Minn.based business with a geothermal system that is expected to reduce annual energy costs by nearly $3,900. Ken’s Greenhouses, Inc., Kalamazoo, Mich., has been selected to receive a grant to install energy efficient greenhouse curtains. With its grant award, Wildflower Farms, Inc. in Clearwater, Neb., expects to save 406.8 million BTUs annually by converting a diesel irrigation motor to an electric motor. Funding of each REAP award is contingent upon the recipient meeting the conditions of the grant or loan agreement. Grants can finance up to 25 percent of a project’s cost, not to exceed

$500,000 for renewable energy, $250,000 for energy efficiency. A complete REAP recipients announced excluding the flex-fuel projects listed above, is available at http://www.rurdev.us da.gov/SupportDocu ments/rdREAPDec20 11Rev12-13.pdf. Since taking office, President Obama’s Administration has taken historic steps to improve the lives of rural Americans, put people back to work and build thriving economies in rural communities. From proposing the American Jobs Act to establishing the firstever White House Rural Council chaired by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack - the President wants the federal government to be the best possible partner for rural businesses, entrepreneurs and people who want to live, work and raise

their families in rural communities. USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of state and local offices. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of more than $155

Konyha: Actual number of Wabash residents employed increased

The November Local Area Unemployment Statistics (not seasonally adjusted) were published recently. The Wabash County Unemployment Rate of 9.1 percent is unchanged. The unemployment rate in the state increased to 8.7 percent from 8.6 percent as the U. S.

Rate declined to 8.2 percent from 8.5 percent. Although our unemployment rate remained unchanged, the actual number of Wabash County residents employed increased from 14,514 to 14.685 (.9 percent). During the same period, the Wabash

County workforce increased from 15.968 to 16,117. Therefore, the fact that our unemployment rate is unchanged is the result of our labor force increasing by .9 percent during the past month. We suspect that this is the result of people reentering the labor force.

U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan recently awarded more than $14 million to renew funding 111 homeless programs operating in Indiana. The funding announced will ensure these housing and service programs remain operating in 2012 and are a critical part of the Obama Administration’s strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness.

HUD is renewing funding through its Continuum of Care programs to existing local programs as quickly as possible to prevent any interruption in federal assistance and will award funds to new projects in early 2012. “The grants we’re awarding will literally keep the doors of our shelters open and will help those on the front lines of ending homelessness do what they do best,” said Donovan. “It’s incredible that as we work to recover from the greatest economic

decline since the Great Depression, the total number of homeless Americans is declining, in large part because of these funds.” “Today’s grants will help agencies in Indiana meet critical needs of those who experience the crisis of homelessness as we work together to prevent and end homelessness throughout the Midwest,” said Antonio R. Riley, HUD’s Midwest R e g i o n a l Administrator. Last week, HUD announced its 2011 “point in time” estimate of the number of

needs of their homeless clients. These grants fund a wide variety of programs from street outreach and assessment programs to transitional and permanent housing for homeless persons and families. Last year, President Obama and 19 federal agencies and offices that form the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) launched the nation’s first comprehensive strategy to prevent and end homelessness. The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, http://www.usich.gov /OpeningDoors.html, puts the country on a path to end veterans and chronic homelessness by 2015 and to ending homelessness among children, family and youth by 2020. In addition to HUD’s annual grant awards, HUD allocated $1.5 billion through its Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) Program, http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/recovery/programs/homelessness. Made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, HPRP is intended to prevent persons from falling into homelessness or to rapidly re-house them if they do. To date, more than one million persons have been assisted through HPRP.

US struggles with too many horses

by Tim Unruh Salina Journal SALINA, Kan. — In the best of situations, a horse can live 25 or 30 years. But what can you do with an old, sick, injured and suffering horse, one that no one wants, or a dead one for that matter? The answer can be expensive, said Mike Samples, manager of the Farmers and Ranchers Livestock Commission, 1500 W. Old 40 Highway. One option used to be to sell the horse for slaughter rather than pay hundreds of dollars to euthanize and bury it. That alternative was eliminated in 2006 when Congress erased federal money for U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection of horse-processing plants, a response in part to animal rights activist groups lobbying against the practice. In October, President Barack Obama signed a spending bill that again makes horse slaughter possible in the United States. The Washington Times reported Nov. 30 that the move came a few months after a government investigation said the slaughter ban “was backfiring.” Five years ago, there were two plants slaughtering horses in Texas and one in Illinois, and the last of those closed in 2007, according to the Kansas Department of Agriculture. “I believe we made a bad mistake in the U.S.,” Samples said. The change “is a move in the right direction,” he said, but it will take some time before a horse slaughter system is restored in the United States. In the meantime, the lack of slaughter houses and a bad economy have contributed to a glut of horses that no one knows what to do with. “All over the country a lot of horses have been turned loose. People just haul them off, turn them out and hope somebody else takes care of them,”

Samples said. However, Lindsay Rajt, of Los Angeles, the associate director of campaigns for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said it wasn’t the closing of the slaughter houses that caused horse over population. Rather, she said, the rodeo and horse racing industries and private breeders are to blame. In this country alone, 30,000 new foals are born every year, and two thirds of them are used for riding or other purposes, and the other 10,000 “go straight to slaughter,” Rajt said, because they’re not judged to be good enough. “The blood of these horses is on the hands of rodeo, racing and private breeders. They’re at the root of this crisis.” One alternative is for horses to be hauled to Mexico or Canada where slaughter has always been legal. Another is euthanizing the horse. Salina veterinarian Bob Huseman charges $150. Add the cost of renting a backhoe or other equipment to dig a grave and bury the body, and the cost could approach $500, Samples said. “There are hefty regulations that go along with that. Your options are pretty limited if you can’t send them to processing,” said Matt Teagarden, director of industry relations for the Kansas L i v e s t o c k Association. Some who deal in the horse slaughter business will buy

animals for next to nothing and truck them to Canada or Mexico. Demand for horse meat is high and the price follows beef, Samples said, but without a slaughter plant in the United States, the price is “probably a fourth” of what it should be. “The fact that there was no more slaughter did not address these unwanted horses, so the cases of abandonment probably quadrupled since they closed the plants,” Huseman said. The result has been a glut in horse numbers, which has drastically cut prices. Weanling horses that sold for $800 to $1,000 in 2005 are selling for a few hundred dollars, Teagarden said. Some KLA members have told of hauling young horses — not yet broken to ride — to an auction and that they “owed the sale barn when it was done,” he said. “The lack of an outlet for unwanted horses has just devastated the horse market.” And horses are not cheap to keep. Add up the hay, grain and veterinary bills, and the cost can reach $3,800 a year, Teagarden said, or well over $10 a day for a horse. Having horse slaughter back is a positive move, Teagarden said, but issues haven’t changed. In Texas and Illinois where the last three plants were located, he said, there are still state laws in place that prohibit processing

horses for human consumption. Building a plant to slaughter horses is not likely, but retrofitting a plant is possible. One such plant is owned by Tyson in Emporia, Teagarden said, but part of it is still being used for beef fabrication, and it’s way too large for horse slaughter. “I don’t think it’s likely in Kansas, but I’ve seen some discussions from O k l a h o m a , Missouri, Nebraska and the Dakotas,” he said. “It’s nothing that’s going to happen tomorrow. “Nothing they have done has stopped horses from dying. It has not stopped horses from being processed. We’re shipping horses to Canada and Mexico for processing,” Teagarden said. “Euthanasia is an option. Putting the horse down is probably the easiest part, but then you have to dispose of the horse. If you wanted you could go buy a burial plot for your dearly departed Trigger or Mr. Ed.” PETA’s Rajt said her organization is not officially opposed to reopening the slaughter houses. “It’s the lesser of two evils,” she said. “If they’re going to be killed, we would prefer they don’t have to endure a long trip to slaughter.” Don’t misunderstand, Rajt said. PETA wants the slaughter of all animals to end. “With so many other healthy foods available, there is no reason to be eating

dead animals or to be using animals for food production at all, especially when we understand now the health benefits of a vegan diet,” she said. But the belief that horses are shipped out of this country “crammed” in trailers built for cattle has caused PETA to settle for another position. “Ideally, what we want is the export of horses to end and for the slaughter of horses in the U.S. to end,” Rajt said. “Because we don’t have a ban, and they’re just being slaughtered anyway and enduring a grueling journey, we’re pragmatic.” PETA supports the effort to establish the $20 million Thoroughbred Lifecycle Fund. It would require that $360 be paid into the fund for every foal,

brood mare and stallion registration and ownership transfer. Payment into the fund is meant to shift some of the burden of caring for unwanted horses to the breeders, Rajt said, and it could

help to deter overpopulation. “From our standpoint, providing a decent retirement for these horses is an obligation,” Rajt said. “It shouldn’t be an option for these people.”

Coats says EPA rule jeopardizes American jobs, energy costs, reliability of electric grid

U.S. Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) issued the following statement regarding the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) release of the final Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology (Utility MACT) rule: “The president has a choice: He can save g o o d - p a y i n g American jobs and prevent devastating energy hikes on families and businesses or he can allow the EPA to deliver another blow to an already weak economy. This new regulation completely contradicts the president’s stated top priority to create jobs and strengthen the economy. “This costly, jobdestroying EPA rule also jeopardizes the reliability of our nation’s electric grid. As a result of growing bipartisan opposition

to this rule, the EPA included a so-called ‘safety valve’ recognizing the very real threat of rolling blackouts. The ‘safety valve’ measure doesn’t go nearly far enough to protect Americans from the harmful impacts of this costly rule.” In November, Coats introduced a bipartisan bill with Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) that would create reasonable timelines for utilities to comply with two major EPA rules, including the Utility MACT rule. The Manchin-Coats Fair Compliance Act has support from both sides of the aisle, along with business and labor groups from the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity to the United Mine Workers. “Our bipartisan bill is a commonsense, balanced approach

that provides states and utilities the time needed to plan and prepare for these stringent EPA regulations,” added Coats, the lead Republican sponsor of the Fair Compliance Act. “Without additional time, Americans will face fewer job oppor-

tunities, higher utility rates and potential blackouts.” This legislation would extend and streamline the compliance deadline for the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) by three years and the deadline for the Utility

MACT rule by two years - so that both would fall on Jan. 1, 2017. The bill also would require utilities to submit implementation plans to ensure compliance occurs. To safeguard the reliability of the electric grid and avoid brownouts,

utilities would also submit their implementation plans to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). The National Economic Research Associates (NERA) estimates net employment losses of 1.44 million across the

country as a result of the current EPA rules and deadlines. By 2016, NERA estimates that American ratepayers will see an average increase of 11.5 percent. In some regions of the United States, increases of up to 23.5 percent may occur.

The Indiana Utility R e g u l a t o r y Commission (IURC) has approved a collaborative settlement reached in July by NIPSCO, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC), NIPSCO’s industrial customers and a coalition of eight northern I n d i a n a Municipalities regarding new rates for its more than 457,000 electric customers across northern Indiana. The newly approved electric base rates - which have not been modified in 24 years - are being updated to reflect investments made to improve service reliability and environmental technology, including the $330 million purchase of the highly efficient

Sugar Creek natural gas-fired power plant in West Terre Haute, as well as costs associated with customer growth, system upgrades and ongoing maintenance. A residential electric customer using 688 kilowatt hours a month on average will see a 4.5 percent base rate increase (or $3.33 per month). This effective change is half of the request NIPSCO filed in 2010 and three times less than what was approved by the IURC in the company’s 2008 case but never applied to customer bills. Residential Electric Customer Bill impact: for an average of 688 kilowatt hours of monthly usage, the current bill would be $74.88. The proposed bill would be raised to $78.21, an increase of

$3.33 or 4.45 percent. The newly approved electric rates are expected to take effect immediately. “This decision is a pivotal step in furthering our commitment to enhance reliability and customer service for our customers, while providing a modern energy infrastructure to support northern Indiana jobs and economic growth,� NIPSCO CEO Jimmy Staton said. “The approved settlement also helps provide families, businesses and industries with the reliable, affordable and environmentally sustainable energy they need now and in the future.� The decision reflects a number of benefits to customers, including: - A lower bill

Resolution of Municipality Group’s concerns regarding rates for streetlights and traffic lights. An expanded interruptible service program for NIPSCO’s largest industrial customers. This voluntary program ultimately benefits all customers by meeting near-term and planned system energy needs, including periods of peak demand when market prices are high. “While providing a much smaller base rate increase than originally requested, this agreement ensures NIPSCO will be able to continue making the infrastructure investments that will be needed for safe, reliable service,� said Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor David Stippler. “I am pleased that the OUCC, NIPSCO and other settling parties were able to work together to reach a balanced resolution to this extremely complicated litigation.� “We believe the concerns raised by the local municipalities were addressed through this process, which was both open and collaborative,� said Michael Griffin, representing the coalition of northern Indiana municipali-

Corn crop heads for sixth record year to feed 1 billion cows Farmers will reap a record corn crop for a sixth consecutive season in 2012, slowing a slump in stockpiles of livestock feed as global meat demand approaches a quarter of a billion metric tons. Production will rise 4.8 percent to 867.5 million metric tons in 2011-12, curbing the drop in inventories to 0.8 percent, the smallest decline in three years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates. With harvests expanding from Argentina to China, prices will fall as much as 30 percent to $4.305 a bushel in Chicago trading next year, according to the median of 24 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg News. Corn prices doubled in the past two

years as farmers failed to keep up with meat consumption that expanded 62 percent in a generation. Stockpiles fell in eight of the past 12 years and are down 34 percent since 2000, contributing to a surge in world food costs. Growers are now planting the most corn ever and more feed will come from a projected record wheat harvest. “Farmers have responded to record prices by producing historic crops,” said Bill Gary, the president of Commodity Information Systems Inc. in Oklahoma City, who has worked in grain markets for a half century. “There will not be a big bullish argument for the corn market in months ahead.” Corn already tumbled 23 percent to $6.14 on the Chicago

Board of Trade since reaching a threemonth high of $7.79 on Aug. 29. The grain fell 2.3 percent this year, compared with an 18 percent slump in the Standard & Poor’s Agriculture Index of eight commodities. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities dropped 10 percent and Treasuries returned 9.3 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows. Global Shipments Output will expand the most in the European Union, China, Ukraine, Argentina, Brazil and Russia, helping to compensate for a 1.1 percent drop in the U.S., the biggest grower, the Washington-based USDA predicts. The U.S. share of global shipments will drop below 50 percent for the first time since 1971. Farmers are

responding to prices that averaged $6.80 a bushel this year, more than double the past 10 years. Farm Animals There were 1.38 billion cattle in 2009, compared with 1.31 billion a decade earlier, the FAO estimates. The global pig population has expanded to 942 million from 894 million in 1999 while farmers added almost 5 billion chickens to 18.6 billion, the data show. Grazing cattle, which primarily feed on pasture, account for about a quarter of world beef production, according to the FAO. Developing Crops Corn jumped 3.1 percent on Dec. 19 on the CBOT on speculation that dry and hot weather will slow development of crops in Argentina and Brazil, T-Storm Weather LLC said in

Tyson Fresh Meats recalls ground beef products due to possible E. Coli

Tyson Fresh Meats Inc., a Dakota City, Neb. establishment, is recalling approximately 40,948 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced. The following products are subject to recall: 10-pound chubs of “Chuck Fine Ground Beef 80/20,” packed in cases containing eight chubs. The products subject to recall have a “Best Before or Freeze By” date of “11/13/11” and “EST. 245C” on the box label. The products were shipped to institutions and distributors in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, L o u i s i a n a , Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, West

Virginia, and Wisconsin. The problem was discovered through routine FSIS monitoring which confirmed a positive result for E. coli O157:H7. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products. E. coli O157:H7 is a bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and persons with

weak immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider. FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. FSIS advises all consumers to safely prepare their raw

meat products, including fresh and frozen, and only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of 160° F. The only way to confirm that ground beef is cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures internal temperature. Consumers with questions regarding the recall should contact the company at (866) 328-3156.

a report that day. The weather is similar to 2008-2009, when a La Nina pattern strengthened in December, the Chicago-based forecaster said. Argentina’s corn output fell 30 percent that season while Brazil’s declined 13 percent. Less Bullish

For now, speculators are getting less bullish on the grain, the world’s biggest food crop by volume. Hedge funds and other money managers are holding a net-long position, or bets on higher prices, of 127,666 futures and options, data from the

Commodity Futures T r a d i n g Commission show. That’s down from as many as 408,854 contracts in January. The most widely held option gives holders the right to sell corn at $5 by the end of February, CBOT data show.

Ivy Tech Kokomo adds hybrid technology to automotive program

Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region is adding hybrid technology to its automotive program. The Kokomo region recently added a 2011 Toyota Prius to its program as a way to educate students about the increasing hybrid sector of the automotive industry.

“One of the needs has always been the advanced electrification in vehicles. Hybrid vehicle technology is an up-andcoming area of the automotive industry. With the vehicle that we have now, we have the ability to start teaching that and incorporating that into the program,”

said Michael Erny, automotive program chair for Ivy Tech’s Kokomo region. The automotive program has been in existence at the Kokomo region for more than 30 years, but has always focused on traditional, combustion engines with the addition of diesel technology added a few years ago. Erny says a new syllabus and re-developed curriculum are currently being updated to include hybrid technology. Additional classes are expected to be developed to focus more indepth into hybrid technology. “Our intention is by

the time a student gets done with the program, they would be able to diagnose problems with a hybrid vehicle, perform part replacement, take the battery and converter out and do a full-service diagnosis on the vehicle,” said Erny. The car will be used in the classroom as early as the 2012 spring semester. The automotive program at Ivy Tech’s Kokomo region has roughly 125 students currently taking classes. School of Technology Dean Rodni Lytle says having the ability to offer students hybrid technology education is especially important in Kokomo, a city well

known in the automotive industry. “The Kokomo region is in a technology-enriched manufacturing area of the United States and we need to harness this potential. The addition of hybrid technologies compliments the current strengths of our automotive program. The net result provides students and industry with advanced technology and training close to home,” said Lytle. Lytle says some adjunct faculty members at the Kokomo region already work in the industry with hybrid technology and are aware of its operations. This

allows Ivy Tech to bring real-world experience and training into the classroom. “What industry is telling us is employers want to be able to hire students with that type of learning already in their hands,” said Lytle. The hybrid Prius sedan was funded through a federal Perkins grant. Enrollment for the spring semester in the automotive technology program is currently underway. More information about the program can be found at www.ivytech.edu/kok omo or by calling 800459-0561. Ivy Tech Community College is

the state’s largest public postsecondary institution and the nation’s largest singly accredited statewide community college system serving nearly 200,000 students annually. Ivy Tech has campuses throughout Indiana. It serves as the state’s engine of workforce development, offering affordable degree programs and training that are aligned with the needs of its community along with courses and programs that transfer to other colleges and universities in Indiana. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association.

What 11 moments will you remember from 2011? (ARA) - As the year winds down, the events of 2011 become water cooler conversation. Reflections of what happened in the world beyond one’s front door take the form of “top moments” and “best ofs.” To mark the end of another exciting year in global, national and local news, AOL, whose mission is to inform, entertain and connect the world, shares the “11 Days That Shaped 2011.” These are the moments that made news that got people talking, sharing and commenting most this year, from the horrific shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and her miraculous recovery, to the passing of Steve Jobs and the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton. People can visit 11in2011.aol.com to agree, disagree, or add to the moments that helped define the year. The “11 Days that Shaped 2011”: - The shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords: On Jan. 8, a deranged gunman went on a rampage that critically injured A r i z o n a Cong resswoman Gabby Giffords and

killed six others. This brutal act led to an outpouring of support for Giffords and renewed focus on gun control. Arab Spring: Inspired by their Tunisian neighbors who successfully overthrew their own oppressive government, Egyptians gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square in January to protest the brutal 30year regime of President Hosni Mubarak, who resigned 18 days later. Demands for freedom soon spread to Libya, Bahrain, Syria, Yemen, Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco and Oman, with social media playing a key role in organizing and spreading news about the protests. - The meltdown of Charlie Sheen: TV’s highest paid star went on a tirade on the first day of March against his “Two and a Half Men” producer Chuck Lorre, made a series of bizarre pronouncements across mainstream and social media, went on tour and was ultimately fired from his toprated show. - Japan earthquake: It was March 11 when the quake unleashed a giant tsunami that leveled cities and towns in northern Japan. The resulting

nuclear disaster, just 170 miles from Tokyo, affected thousands more and rendered large areas uninhabitable for decades to come. The Royal Wedding: The fairytale wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton captivated people around the world and boasted the largest ever live online audience. In the months leading up to April 29, people breathlessly awaited and debated - details from the guest list to the reception menu to the top-secret wedding gown design. - Osama bin Laden’s death: Following news of the terror leader’s death at the hands of Navy Seal Team 6, spontaneous celebrations erupted in New York, Washington and beyond on May 1. Learning that Bin Laden lived within sight of a key Pakistani military base further undermined U.S. trust in our ally. - End of the Oprah Winfrey Show: The highest-rated talk show in American history ended its 25year domination of daytime television. After decades of influencing and defining culture, Winfrey left her namesake show on May 25 to focus on

The Oprah Winfrey Network/OWN. - Debt ceiling crisis: Washington’s inability to provide a longterm resolution to the debt ceiling issue on Aug. 8 contributed to a downgrade of our nation’s credit rating, market volatility and the lowest approval rating for the U.S. congress in modern times. - 10th anniversary of 9/11: America marked the 10th anniversary of our deadliest day, Sept. 11, with respectful ceremonies honoring victims and their families, who are still struggling to recover from their devastating losses. The Occupy Movement: In September 2011, the Occupy Movement started on Wall Street and was aimed at the economic disparity and social inequity in the country and quickly spread around the world. - The death of Steve Jobs: When Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs, one of the greatest innovators and businessmen in history passed away in October, people around the globe mourned the man behind the inventions that changed the world.

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE OLD BARNS IN WABASH COUNTY: On Dec. 19, History International Channel (H2) aired a show on Modern Marvels entitled Wood. One segment of that hour-long program showed a peg barn being torn down in Frankfort by the Timeless Timber Frame and being reassembled on the property where Aaron Mast, a former Wabash resident, and his family now live, east of Bloomington. The home he moved into this spring is a

On Sept. 12 and 13, Half Yard Productions, a film crew for the History Channel from Washington D.C., filmed the barn being reassembled by an Amish crew from Portland. Marvin and I were able to be on site when the filming was done. The two days of filming was condensed into less

than 15 minutes on the show, but seeing that small part will give you an idea of how Timeless Timbers is attempting to preserve old barns for the future. For more information on saving our old barns and reusing them for houses, offices, or once again for barns, visit their website at www.TimelessTimber Frame.com. If you watch your TV listings, the Modern

Marvels - Wood show may be aired again at a later time. WHAT LIONS CLUBS ACCOMPLISHED IN 2011: Besides the Urbana Lions Club, Wabash County has Lions Clubs in Richvalley, Laketon, North M a n c h e s t e r, LaFontaine, Somerset and Roann. In addition to the local help they give to individuals, families, clubs, summer programs,

and their local communities, they work together to help millions of people around the world. International programs that these local clubs support include SightFirst, a program that screens preschool children for eye defects. International Lions President Wing-Kun Tam is asking Lions to plant one million trees in 2011/2012. Besides the trees that were previously planted around the Urbana headstone, this summer the Urbana Lions Club planted three 8 to 10 foot trees, two red oak and one pin oak tree were planted on the northwest corner of the ball field by Lions Kyle Overman and Luke Hunt. Another project is to give dictionaries to every third-grade student. After checking with Dr. Weaver and the third-grade teachers, the Urbana Lions

Club will be doing this for the third grade students at Metro North in January. Several local Lions Clubs, in conjunction with the Indiana Lions Foundation, will be working together to help Kortnee Singer apply for a scholarship to be used in her senior year at Ball State as a Speech and Hearing Therapist. Through Lions Club International, local clubs also donate money that is used to help people who have experienced natural disasters both in the United States and around the world. Lions Club International has more volunteers in more places than any other service club organization in the world. In 2012, it is hoped that each of you will remember to thank your local Lions Club members for the work they do and support them

“I worked at Chicago Cutlery in Illinois and Hayworth’s Office Furniture in Michigan,” Andy said. “I’m a hard worker and I wanted to open my own business instead of working for someone else.” Vanra added, “We both worked in the factories, but he

Shoppe was open for one year before he was approached with the possibility of taking over. Vanra’s sister had a donut shop in Fort Wayne, so he asked her how it was. “She told me business was ok, but that is also a bigger city so it is a lot different than here,” he added. “It was hard at first, because we’ve never run a business before,” Andy continued, “but I am a very determined person. I had a goal, I planned for it, and I took it step by step until I got there, but I had to make it happen.” One of the major tasks Andy faced in taking over the shop was that he didn’t know how to make donuts. It took 6-8 months to learn how to make a good, quality donut, he said. “In the first six months or so we barely made anything,” Andy admitted. “I had to cut down on the number of people and work a lot of hours myself. I still work 70-

dreamed of owning his own business – that’s what he wanted all of his life. Now, his dreams have come true; but he worked very hard to get what he wanted. Everybody told us that it was going to be hard work, but he said he liked that.” According to Andy, the Wabash Donut

80 hours a week and there were times when I was working 100 hours a week. You can’t just work a little bit and hire people to do everything; you have to work hard if you want to succeed.” For the first two years they kept the store open 24 hours and were busy throughout the night because of the different shifts at the factory. When GDX started closing, however, they began to lose a lot of their local business. It was around 2001 when they made the decision to branch out into other markets, which first led them to selling donuts to Handy Dandy gas station in Grant County. They now make deliveries seven days a week to approximately 50 different locations, including the Marion area, Anderson area, and Indianapolis area, respectively. “Wabash wasn’t really growing at the time so we had to sell donuts other places to survive,” Andy explained. “We choose to stay in Wabash because we’ve been working here and living here for so long that it has become like home. That’s also one of the reasons we try to make sure our product is good, because it has the name in it – Wabash Donut Shoppe. So, neighboring cities and even those further away know these donuts come from Wabash.” In order to accom-

THE PHAT FAMILY, (from left) Sam, Andy, Vanra and Robert, took ownership of the Wabash Donut Shoppe in 1988. (photo by Harold V. Chatlosh) modate the orders for the 50+ locations, which range in quantity from four to 15 dozen, as well as what they need locally, there are now 18 total employees spread out over three shifts. These workers, including Andy and Vanra and their two kids, are charged with various tasks, such as baking, frying, icing, packing, delivering, and cleaning. “We spend a lot of time training everyone that comes to work here,” Andy said. “It takes a long time to learn to make donuts our way. We make everything by hand here, so we have to know our limits. We’re delivering about as much as we can handle – I don’t want the product to suffer. “So I have to bake everyday, and taste the donuts everyday, to make sure that we are making a good product. I have to keep an eye on the people baking, the people frying, the people icing, the people

packing, and even the people cleaning – it’s a lot of responsibility but it’s worth it. I do the best I can do every day because you can’t just sit back and expect things to happen for you.” Andy went on to stress the importance of remembering that this business is a really risky business, especially with regards to the wholesale aspect. “We had to be careful selling to those other places,” he continued, “because we had to sell cheap to compete with wholesale prices so that the retailer could make money, but we also had to try to make money. In order to make money, we have to have a good product and a competitive price. Any day someone could tell us that another wholesaler gave a better price, and then we lose that business just like that. I’ve been told by big companies that they have people lining up to try to get their busi-

ness, but they like our product, we’re reliable, and the customers like our product.” “Every day we try to remind ourselves how far we’ve come,” she concluded. “We appreciate all the opportunities living in the U.S. has given us, but most of all we appreciate how much the community has supported us in Wabash. We’ve been here so long that we’ve gotten to know a lot of people, and now this is like our hometown. At first you don’t know if you’re going to survive so you don’t want to put a lot of money into fixing things up, but once the community welcomed us like they did, we knew we were here to stay.” The Phats went on to thank their family and employees, who work hard to get the job done every day. In closing, they expressed their thanks to the community and wished peace and happy holidays to all.

Customize your coffee: Create Indy Auto Show in progress personalized beverages at home Home personalization has extended to new heights, going beyond the trend of creating customized kitchens to creating customized beverages. Consumers are brewing up personalized specialty coffee drinks on par with those in high-end restaurants and coffee shops. In fact, “do-it-yourself flavor” is among the top 10 beverage trends of the year, according to The Food Channel, a leading online source for food industry trends. This trend is due, in part, to the uncertain economy. Recent research from the International Food Information Council found that 79 percent of consumers cite price as a key factor in deciding which drink items to purchase in a store. With equipment and recipes readily available today, consumers are embracing this DIY trend and cutting costs by making their own custom drinks at

home. Whatever your taste preference, it’s easy to create personalized beverages for yourself, your family and guests to enjoy all winter long. Hot-coffee indulgence. According to the National Coffee Association, gourmet coffee continues to be a significant portion (37 percent) of total coffee consumed. If hot coffee is your way to pamper yourself, endless varieties are available, from classic French roast to Hawaiian Kona and New Orleans chicory. Choose to brew your way. To make great coffee, start with the right coffeemaker. Look for one that fills easily and lets you create large or small batches and different brew strengths. For i n s t a n c e , Calphalon’s Quick Brew 12-cup Coffee Maker offers both regular or bold custom brew settings plus the flexibility to

brew up to 12 cups at a time when you have a crowd, or just one to four cups for smaller groups. Brewing up to 25 percent faster than comparable standard coffee makers, the Calphalon Quick Brew 12-cup Coffee Maker won’t keep your guests waiting either. Add cream to your cup. Once you’ve brewed your coffee, personalize it further with coffee creamers. They’re available in everything from traditional vanilla, almond or hazelnut to enticing new combinations like honey-vanilla cream and white chocolate caramel latte. Make it special. Many specialty coffee drinks are also easy to make at home, such as mocha coffee, gingerbread coffee, almond coffee and Irish coffee. They can often be made with just a few simple ingredients from recipes on websites such as all-

recipes.com and others, providing a fun way to top off a dinner party or savor alone by the fireplace. Create a new blend. Research shows more coffee lovers are buying whole beans and grinding them at home for a fresher, richer flavor. Take your coffee grinds one step further and become a true “Roastmaster” by creating a whole new blend of your own. Mix and match flavored beans or beans from different coffee-growing countries to develop new tastes and sensations you won’t find in your average cup of coffee. For peak flavor and the ultimate freshness, package your blend in an airtight container and store it in a dark, room-temperature location. So go ahead and turn yourself loose in the kitchen. It’s easier than ever to customize your cup.

What can we do when it is cold and snowy outside? Indiana conservation officers would like to let the people of Indiana know that just because it is cold outside does not mean that they should stop recreating there. With the coming of Christmas and Christmas break, conservation officers are encouraging people to get out and enjoy nature whether at a state park or fish and wildlife property. With Santa approaching fast, conservation officers would like to remind anyone that is getting a snowmobile or ORV for Christmas that many laws and responsibilities go along with their operation. Some of the laws are registrations, knowing whether the county

road system is open to operation, being 16 years old with a valid driver’s license and many others that can be found on the DNR website under regulations statutes and rules. If and when we do get snow there are also several snowmobile trails that are open to the public in the northern part of the state. The trails are Miami Snowmobile Trail, 58 miles in Elkhart County, Buffalo Run Snowmobile Trail, 63 miles in St. Joseph County, and finally the Salamonie Snowmobile Trail, 40 miles in Wabash and H u n t i n g t o n Counties. These trails have a website all their own which offers updates on snowfall as well as

what shape they are in. If snowmobile riding is not your cup of tea, then maybe when the ice encompasses the local lakes, fishing could add a great time as well as a nice meal. Conservation officers would like to remind those fishermen who like to recreate on the ice that there is no such thing as “safe ice”, only safer ice. It is recommended that the ice be at least four inches thick, and be clear like the ice that comes out of your ice maker in your refrigerator. Any ice that is not four inches thick and clear may be unsafe to go out on. Finally, not all bodies of water freeze the same way and

the ice may be thinner in some places so make sure to drill test holes to make sure that the ice is four inches thick and in good shape. Conservation officers also recommend wearing some type of PFD (personal flotation device) while ice fishing. Also, know that there are laws for ice fishing shanties and the maximum size that ice fishing holes can be drilled or cut. Further, there are also several laws that deal with ORV and snowmobile operation on the ice. With this said, always wear a helmet when operating snowmobiles or ORV’s and get out and have a fun and safe winter.

Give the gift of personalized wine

(ARA) - People are more interested in food and wine than ever. Turn this passion into a fabulous holiday gift: one that will have the recipient enjoying his gift throughout the year. A new trend is emerging with more people developing interest in a carefully cultivated wine and food lifestyle. People are creating their very own vintage making it a great holiday gift idea. Take Bob Mollica from Boston, who recently bottled his 2009 Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon. “It’s always been a dream to have my own wine,” says Mollica. “I wanted to find a way to create a California wine to enjoy and share with friends while continuing my day job here in Boston.” That dream is now a reality. He uses Estate Crush, a Lodi, Calif.-based custom

crush winery that oversees the entire winemaking process. Estate Crush provides clients a seamless experience from start - sourcing fruit from reputable growers - to finish. The end product is a bottled wine complete with a personalized label. In recent years, a number of companies have offered custom labels on wine, but it’s unusual to have creative control over what’s going into that personalized bottle. The Estate Crush private barrel program lets clients adjust the winemaking protocol to make the wine to their personal specifications, and also involves clients in the process by scheduling tastings with the winemaker via videoconference or in person for important decisions such as oak additions and blend percentages. Clients can also adapt the size

140 Walter St.

of the end product to their needs, ranging from one barrel (24 cases) to just onequarter barrel (6 cases). The popularity of wine in the United States is at an all-time high. In fact, the U.S. surpassed France as the largest wine-consuming nation in 2010, with wine shipments across the U.S. coming from California, other states and foreign producers - at nearly 330 million cases, a record high for the industry. And, in 2010 the per capita total wine consumption was 2.54 gallons more than one case. For a unique holiday gift or for oenophiles who haven’t been able to find the perfect blend or who want an exclusive wine they can call their own, a private barrel program that allows them to create their own ideal wine might just be the solution.

THE ACCESS YOUTH CENTER teamed up with Wabash Friends Church and The American Red Cross of North Central Indiana to host the annual AYC Community Christmas Dinner on Dec. 17. Over 120 people from the Wabash community were in attendance at the event, which was held at The Access (a United Fund Agency); dinner was provided as well as gifts and goodie bags for everyone. The staff and board of directors from AYC would like to thank all those involved who made this vital outreach in our community possible. (photo provided)

Christmas trees as fish habitat may need permit There are many ways to recycle Christmas trees, but tossing them on a frozen lake as a way of creating fish habitat has certain requirements...and an uncertain outcome. “Fish attractors tend to bring fish and fishermen together,” said Bill James, fisheries section chief for DNR Fish & Wildlife. “They provide cover but don’t necessarily grow more fish.” Instead of waiting for an iced-over lake to thaw so a single discarded Christmas tree can sink to the bottom, James said there are better options for fish attractors. “They need to be designed, sized and placed appropriately to attract and hold fish,” he said. “Large hardwood brush piles

work well and last for many years. Soft woods such as pine or spruce attract fish initially but deteriorate quickly. This is especially true if used Christmas trees are placed singly or just scattered about.” Furthermore, state laws may apply, depending on the body of water. Discarding a Christmas tree on a private pond is at the owner’s discretion, but doing so on a public freshwater lakes is governed by the Lake Preservation Act (Indiana Code 14-26-2) and Indiana Administrative Code (312 IAC 11-4-7). Those two laws stipulate that a license from the DNR is needed to construct or place a fish attractor in a public freshwater

lake. To qualify, the fish attractor must be anchored to ensure proper setting and must not be placed in a channel, a beach area, near the lake surface or in an area that would adversely affect public safety and navigation, or adversely affect the natural resources or natural scenic beauty. Three DNR divisions - Fish & Wildlife, Law Enforcement, and Water - have a role in reviewing and approving a permit request for placement of a fish attractor. If approved, the permit carries a $100 fee and requires the permit holder to remove any portion or portions of the fish attractor that become unattached. The administrative rule (312 IAC 11-4-7) was enacted in 1999 by

Norse win barnburner in first round of Pioneer Shootout

by Gary Andrews The Nortfhield boys varsity basketball team won a barnburner in the first round of the Pioneer Shootout Dec. 21, edging Southwester n (Hanover) 72-68. The entire game was as close as the final with the Norse holding the lead most of the first half, but trailing after both quarters. Dustin Echard got things started for Northfield and then Chad Glasscock hit to make it 4-2. At 5-4 Ryan Givens grabbed an offensive rebound to make it 7-4, but a three point play from Southwestern tied it at 7 with 3:17 to go. Givens would hit again and the Rebels answered with two buckets before Ryan Keaffaber hit before the buzzer and Southwestern led 1211 after one. The Rebels would stretch the lead to 1411 to start the second quarter before Givens hit and then converted the old fashion

three to make it 14-14. After a Rebel bucket, Glasscock drained a three to put the Norse back up 17-16. With 5:26 to go, Givens picked up his second foul and was forced to the bench with the Rebels hitting both free throws to make it 21-20 Northfield. Buckets from Ethan Stouffer and Glasscock stretched the lead to 25-20 before Southwestern fought back to tie the score at 26. The lead would never be more than two points by either team the rest of the quarter with Southwestern hitting at the buzzer and leading Northfield 36-34 at the half. The two teams traded buckets coming out of the locker room, with Givens and Echard hitting. At 4138 Collin Dawes would pick the pocket of his man and race for a layup, making it 41-40. With the game being called tight, Givens would pick up his third foul with 6:11 to go and then his fourth

at 2:20. The Norse stayed within three with buckets from Stouffer and Glasscock and then at the buzzer Glasscock drained a three to knot the score at 52 with one to go. The two teams would trade the lead six times to start the fourth quarter with Echard hitting to put the Norse up for what would be for good. Echard made it 58-57 and the Glasscock and Keaffaber built it to 63-59. Southwestern closed to 63-62 before a Keaffaber free throw made it 64-62 with 2:03 to play. The Raiders worked the ball that was knocked away, diving on the ground and rolling over calling timeout on what could have been a traveling call with 53.5 remaining. The Norse defense held and the fouling game was on. The Rebels fouled Dawes who hit 1 of 2 to make it 65-62. A bad Norse foul put the Rebels on the line with 44.9 to go, sink-

ing both with 44.9 left and the Norse leading 65-64. The Rebels would foul Dawes again with 43.7 left. Dawes calmly sank both, making it 67-64. Northfield stole the ball again and on a great pass from Keaffaber to Glasscock for a layup made it 69-64. The Raiders hit and fouled with 17.0 left. Glasscock hit one free throw to make it 70-66. After an illegal pick was called on Southwestern they again fouled Dawes, who again sank both free throws to make it 72-68 with 2.5 left and the Norse survived. Leading Northfield was Chad Glasscock with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Ryan Keaffaber had 15 points and 4 assists. Ryan Givens had 12 points and 8 rebounds. Collin Dawes had 10 points. Dustin Echard had 6 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals. Ethan Stouffer had 4 points and Cody Gibson added 2 points.

Make New Year’s resolutions close to home

(ARA) - As each year comes to a close, people begin to make resolutions - typically, vowing to start something new in the year ahead, such as lose weight, get a new job, start volunteering and so on. Making resolutions is easy; the hard part is keeping them. However, there are a few things you can do at home that might actually help you achieve some of your New Year’s goals. Start 2012 on the right foot with this list of easy home updates and tips to help conquer your New Year’s resolutions. Develop better eating habits Research shows that people tend to eat less when surrounded by the color blue. Repaint your kitchen or dining room in a blue hue to help naturally suppress your appetite. And, painting is a great way to tone your arms if you also resolve to get in shape. Once the paint dries, clean out your pantry and replace

any high-calorie or fatty foods with healthier options. Help the environment Growing concern for the environment prompts many people to resolve to be more green. Your refrigerator runs all day, every day, which accounts for a large percentage of your home’s energy usage. Keeping your refrigerator’s thermostat set between 38 and 42 degrees will help save energy and keep your food from spoiling. Give to others or volunteer Clean out your closets and collect any gently used items you and your family no longer use or need. There are a number of national and local organizations that accept clothing donations; some will even pick up the items directly from your home. Beyond clothing, consider giving previously used toys, games, books or materials for crafts to the local hospital or day care center.

Spend more time with family and friends After a long day at work or school, not to mention all of life’s other activities and events, the last thing you want to do is spend your downtime cleaning your home. Look for household products and tools that keep cleaning time to a minimum. The AccuClean(TM) whole-home air filtration system from American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning attaches to your furnace or air handler to reduce dust accumulation in the home by more than 50 percent, which means you’ll spend less time cleaning and have more time for your family and friends. Learn something new One of the most common resolutions centers around conquering a fear or trying something new. Take a look at your home and challenge yourself to tackle

home improvement projects on your own. Finish an unfinished basement, build an outdoor play space for the kids or renovate a bathroom. Not only will you conquer any do-it-yourself fears, but any revamp of your home will only add to its value and resale potential. Keeping New Year’s resolutions can certainly be a challenge, so it’s important to set yourself up for success. First, set specific and realistic goals; and don’t be scared to break bigger goals into a series of smaller steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Most important, have a strategy for setbacks - we all slip up from time to time, but the key is to get back on track. It’s been said that four out of five people who make New Year’s resolutions eventually break them. Prove the statistics wrong and make this the year you keep your resolutions.

Changes impacting your taxes and this year’s refund from Uncle Sam

(ARA) - In the way of tax legislation, 2011 was a relatively quiet year. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t tax law changes that will affect this year’s tax returns. “The changes enacted at the end of 2010 will still impact this year’s and next year’s federal tax returns,” says TaxACT spokesperson, Jessi Dolmage. “With the debate over the federal budget and taxes unlikely to end any time soon, who knows if the soon-to-be expired tax breaks will be extended. So, take advantage of all your benefits while you still can.” Three out of four taxpayers receive a federal refund, and last year’s average refund totaled $2,805. To help you maximize your refund, here are some tax law changes you should know about before filing this year’s return. * Your federal return must be filed by Tuesday, April 17, 2012. April 15 is a Sunday and Washington, D.C., is r e c o g n i z i n g Emancipation Day April 16. Don’t use the extended deadline as an excuse to procrastinate, though. When

you rush, you’re more likely to make mistakes that could cost you money and time. Furthermore, filing, paying or providing information late will result in IRS penalties that have increased this year. * Amounts for standard mileage, standard deductions, personal exemptions and the Alternative Minimum Tax have increased. Note there are different standard mileage rates for miles driven before July 1 and after June 30. Details about all increases are in IRS Publication 17 at www.irs.gov. * Among the tax breaks available last year but expired for this year are the Making Work Pay Credit and Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit (unless it was a new fuel cell vehicle). The Making Work Pay Credit was essentially replaced by the payroll tax holiday for 2011. Employees and selfemployed already received the tax benefit in 2011 paychecks through a reduction in the FICA-OASDI Social Security taxes. Unlike the Making Work Pay Credit, employees who bene-

fited from the payroll tax holiday don’t need to claim it on this year’s tax return. * Unless lawmakers extend them, this will be the last year to claim the following breaks: Tuition and Fees Deduction, Nonbusiness Energy Credit, the refundable Adoption Credit, Educator Expense Deduction, option for those with itemized deductions to deduct state and local sales taxes paid in lieu of state and local income taxes paid and mortgage insurance premiums deduction. * The amount of the Health Coverage Tax Credit decreased to 72.5 percent for qualified health insurance coverage received between March and December 2011. * If you converted a traditional IRA over to a designated Roth IRA in 2010, or rolled over a qualified retirement plan to a Roth IRA, but did not report the taxable amount on your 2010 tax return (due April 2011), you must report half of the amount on this year’s return and the other half on your 2012 return. Details are available in IRS Publication 575. With so much of

your hard-earned money at stake and our complex tax law, it’s no wonder a growing number of Americans use tax preparation solutions. “Trusted solutions like TaxACT navigate all the tax law changes for you to help maximize your refund, file a return that’s 100 percent accurate and provide help when you need it,” says Dolmage. When choosing a tax preparation solution, especially free products, Dolmage warns you to carefully weigh your options. “TaxACT Free Federal Edition covers all 1040 returns, but other free programs are only for 1040EZ returns, sometimes referred to as ‘simple returns’. The nearly nine out of 10 taxpayers who have more complex returns don’t qualify for those.” For information about these and other tax law changes affecting this year’s tax return, visit www.irs.gov and www.taxact.com/taxinfo. Learn more about TaxACT Free Federal Edition for both simple and complex returns at www.taxact.com.

PUBLIC AUCTION OF MACHINERY ‘the paper’ of Wabash County, Inc., P.O. Box 603, Wabash, IN 46992. Classified Ads: $7.00 for first 20 words in advance: 15¢ each word thereafter. Deadline 12:00 noon on Monday

Soybean prices move higher despite U.S. stocks at 5-year highs

The USDA published its World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, and while global soybean ending stocks have not approached the highs seen in global wheat stocks, the recent highs in ending soybean stocks in the US have not been seen since the 2006/07 growing season. Just as with wheat, competitive pricing caused by the debt crisesc` in Europe has lowered US soybean exports due in part to a stronger dollar. As written in a recent piece about higher wheat stocks entitled, “Global Wheat Stocks At Highs Not Seen In 12 Years,” higher soybean ending stocks in the US combined with a strengthening dollar could make it tough for fertilizer companies like Mosaic (MOS), Potash Corporation (POT), Intrepid Potash (IPI) and CF Industries (CF) to keep up higher pricing for their phosphate, potash, and nitrogen fertilizers. In addition to a stronger dollar, huge shipments from Brazil this fall have also placed competitive pressure on US exports. The most recent export sales report shows 500,000 metric tons in new export sales for the week ending December 8 compared to 1.35 million metric tons in new sales a year earlier. If this trend continues it would mark only the second year that exports from Brazil have exceeded those from the US. Soybean exports to both China and the European Union are down sharply this marketing year with chinese imports totalling 8.8 million metric tons compared to 12.6 million a year ago. EU-27 imports tumbled to 297,000 metric tons compared to 1.03 million over the same period a year ago. You would think that with the bleak

demand outlook prices would nosedive. In fact, prices were falling until reports of dry weather in Argentina and Brazil began threatening the yields of both corn and soybeans. As recently as Dec. 14, January soybeans were trading as low as $11.00 per bushel. Prices have bounced off those lows since._Soybeans planted early in Brazil will begin flowering and setting pods in December. In Argentina, soybeans begin flowering and setting pods in mid to late January. Drought can increase the number of pods that fall off a plant, lowering

yields. 10-day weather forecasts issued this afternoon show that while rain is in the forecast, the amount will be minimal. Rainfall is forecast from Wednesday to Friday in Argentina, and is not expected to exceed 0.5 inch. In Brazil rain is forecast from Friday through Sunday and meteorologists expect 0.5 to 1.5 inch. These drought conditions are supporting soybean prices in the face of a strengthening dollar and rising stocks. This in turn may give some price support to fertilizer companies like CF Industries, Mosaic, Potash and Intrepid Potash

although I think that the EUR/USD exchange rate will ultimately dominate stock price movement over the short-term. Outside of the fundamentals of supply and demand, the EUR/USD exchange rate has the broadest influence over the price of soybeans. Over the most recent 45 trading days, the stocks of Intrepid Potash and Potash Corp. have the strongest significant correlations to soybean prices. However, over the last 60 months that distinction belongs to Mosaic and CF Industries.
