THE PAPER December 8, 2010

Clerk’s office to fill full-time position Wabash County Commissioners, at their Dec. 6 meeting, approved the hire of a full-time deputy clerk of courts, to begin employment in January 2011. Elaine Martin, clerk of the courts – elect, requested to select an applicant from the pool of applications they received when the position was advertised in October, rather than taking new applications. The commissioners agreed. A concerned citizen took issue with recycling services provided at taxpayers’ expense. All property with a home or business would be assessed for the tax. The commissioners responded by explaining that the community has expressed that they want the service, and suggesting that concerns be presented at the Solid Waste Board Meeting, Dec. 13, 1:30 p.m., at the Solid Waste Office on Manchester Avenue.

Family and friends speak at Pattison sentencing by Danielle Smith On Dec. 3, the sentencing hearing of Scott Pattison, convicted of murdering his wife, Lisa, began with Pattison’s attorney requesting a continuance. He explained that a motion for a mistrial had been filed, alleging that the jurors were prejudiced by experiments they were allowed to perform on the weight bench. He felt it was necessary for Judge McCallen to review the motion before sentencing. McCallen denied the request due to the fact that people had traveled from out-of-town for the sentencing hearing; he will review the motion for mistrial in the days after sentencing. Prosecutor William Hartley then invited Lisa’s family members and friends to speak. Leah Frazier, Lisa’s friend, was first to address Judge McCallen. Brian Smith, Lisa’s brother-in-law, read a letter addressed to Pattison from Dillon McCoy, Lisa’s son. “I fully expect a letter of apology from you to me and my family,” McCoy stated. He went on to suggest that Pattison do some soulsearching during his

time incarcerated. Lucy Rich, Lisa’s mother, spoke of her daughter’s positive attributes, saying that most men would have been proud to have Lisa by their side. The final speaker was Christine Smith, Lisa’s sister, who delivered an emotional speech. She discussed Lisa’s eternally optimistic attitude, saying that in every photo, even those taken during negative times, Lisa had a smile on her face. Smith then went on to address Pattison. She discussed his attempt to file for custody of McCoy in the days after Lisa’s death and his unwillingness to allow Lisa’s family to assist with funeral arrangements. She finished her list of Pattison’s wrongdoings by saying that the icing on the cake was that he removed jewelry from Lisa’s body after the funeral, prior to her burial. The earrings belonged to Smith and she intended for Lisa to be buried wearing them, this was not presented during the trial. Friends and family of Pattison addressed Judge McCallen next in an effort to highlight his positive qualities and changes made during

his incarceration thus far. Jim Tack attended Church of Christ at Treaty with Pattison. He discussed Pattison’s strong work ethic and willingness to help others. A pastor that has been visiting with Pattison on a regular basis shared his opinion of Pattison’s renewed interest in studying the Bible. A Pattison family friend expressed condolences to Lisa’s family, but reminded Judge McCallen that an extended prison sentence will not bring Lisa back. Pattison’s mother, Cloann Pattison, shared information about Pattison’s life. She explained that he had helped hold their family together after the death of his father by helping her operate their farm. She highlighted the fact that Pattison had built a thriving construction business by himself and has an extremely good work ethic. Hartley and Campbell, Pattison’s attorney, went on to highlight mitigating and aggravating circumstances surrounding the case. Ultimately, Judge McCallen determined that the only mitigating

factor was that Pattison had never been convicted of a crime prior to the murder conviction. He also determined that Pattison had betrayed Lisa’s marital trust, stat-

ing that she felt comfortable enough to live there so she must have had a level of trust in Pattison. Judge McCallen delivered a sentence of 60 years. Pattison was

granted 862 days of credit with a combination of time served and good behavior. Pattison plans to appeal the sentence, and his mistrial hearing is scheduled for Dec. 20.

SCOTT PATTISON was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Lisa. She died of asphyxiation due to the pressure of a weight bar on her neck. Pattison is expected to appeal the ruling; a motion for mistrial has already been filed and is set for hearing on Dec. 20. (photo provided)

by Aaron Turner On Dec. 4, the Northfield Norse reclaimed the Wabash County tournament championship, ending Southwood’s three-year reign as champs. Both Southwood and Northfield owned a 2-0 record heading into the third-round showdown. Northfield built a 30-12 lead, and key wins down the stretch from Joeseph Ross, Cody Curless, Thomas Rockenbaugh and Hunter Wells secured the Norse win, 37-33. “We just came out ready to go today,” Northfield coach Gary Norman said. “I don’t know what it was, but we came out and wrestled as well this early in the season as I’ve seen in a while.” The feather in the cap was the crowning of seven individual champions for the Norse. With injury and the flu-bug, several wrestlers had to step up performances in bigger weight classes. The Norse were without former champion Dylan Poole, who missed two days of school last week with the flu, and Matt Shafer, who continues to battle injuries. “A lot of guys wrestled up, and maybe that was the motivation they needed,” Norman said. “I don’t think many expected us to beat Southwood with all the talent they have back, so (continued on page 5)

Indiana ranks 28th in protecting kids from tobacco

Indiana ranks 28th in the nation in funding programs to prevent kids from smoking and help smokers quit, according to a national report released today by a coalition of public health organizations. Indiana currently spends $9.2 million a year on tobacco prevention and cessation programs, which is 11.7 percent of the $78.8 million recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Other key findings for Indiana include: - Indiana in the past three years has cut funding for its tobacco prevention program by 43 percent (from $16.2 million to $9.2 million), and funding is now at the lowest level since the program was launched 10 years ago. - Indiana this year will collect $599 million from the 1998 tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, but will spend just 1.5 percent of it on tobacco prevention programs. - The tobacco companies spend $426.2 million a year to market their products in Indiana. This is 46 times what the state

spends on tobacco prevention. The annual report on states’ funding of tobacco prevention programs, titled “A Broken Promise to Our Children: The 1998 State Tobacco Settlement 12 Years Later,” was released by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, American Heart A s s o c i a t i o n , American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, American Lung Association and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation program has contributed to significant declines in tobacco use. Between 2000 and 2008, smoking declined by 42 percent among Indiana high school students. However, that progress is at risk because of the budget cuts. Indiana is also falling short in implementing other proven measures to reduce tobacco use. The state lacks a statewide smoke-free law that applies to all workplaces, restaurants and bars, and the state cigarette tax of 99.5 cents per pack

ranks 31st in the nation and is below the national average of $1.45 per pack. “Indiana’s progress against tobacco is at risk unless state leaders step up the fight by increasing funding for tobacco prevention and implementing other proven measures, including a comprehensive, statewide smoke-free law,” said Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. “Despite the state’s progress, tobacco still takes a huge toll in health, lives and health care dollars in Indiana. Even in these difficult budget times, tobacco prevention is a smart investment for Indiana that saves lives and saves money by reducing health care costs.” In Indiana, 23.5 percent of high school students smoke, and more kids 9,900 become regular smokers every year. Each year, tobacco claims 9,700 lives and costs the state $2.1 billion in health care bills. Nationally, the report finds that most states are failing to adequately fund programs to prevent kids from smoking and

help smokers quit. Altogether, the states have cut funding for these programs to the lowest level since 1999, when they first started receiving settlement tobacco payments. Key national findings of the report include: - The states this year will collect $25.3 billion from the tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, but will spend just two percent of it – $517.9 million – on tobacco prevention programs. - States have cut funding for tobacco prevention programs by nine percent ($51.4 million) in the past year and by 28 percent ($199.3 million) in the past three years. - Only two states – Alaska and North Dakota – currently fund tobacco prevention programs at the CDC-recommended level. The report warns that the nation’s progress in reducing smoking is at risk unless states increase funding for programs to prevent kids from smoking and help smokers quit. The United States has significantly reduced smoking among both youth and adults, but

20.6 percent of adults and 19.5 percent of high school students still smoke. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S., killing more than 400,000 people and costing $96 billion in health care bills each year. More information, including the full report and state-specific information, can be obtained at w w w . t o b a c cofreekids.org/report s/settlements. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Risk Behavioral Factor Surveillance System states that Wabash County has 7,915 adult and 2,573 youth tobacco users. That is 30 percent of the Wabash County population. There are 29.5 percent pregnant women that smoke during pregnancy which has caused approximately 124 tobacco affected births. Wabash County’s Tobacco Free Coalition provides cessation for those that are ready to quit their use of tobacco by calling the Indiana toll free number (1800-QUIT-NOW) for

Students are encouraged to serve as Statehouse pages

Area middle and high school students are invited to make the Indiana Statehouse their “classroom for a day” by serving as Senate pages during the 2011 Indiana General Assembly. Pages have the opportunity to spend a day at the Statehouse working with their senator and Senate staff in the upcoming legislative session, which runs from Jan. 5 to April 29. Students who page learn about the legislative process through observation and participation. By interacting firsthand with legislators and staff, state government is brought to life. Pages get to see lawmakers introduce bills, debate and vote on important issues, all while meeting other students from Indiana. Interested students should submit page requests as soon as possible in a letter or email. The student’s name – as it would appear on a certificate – as well as the following information should be included with requests: address, home telephone number, age and school affiliation.

Friends wanting to page on the same day should send requests together. Specific date requests will be considered, but may not be possible. The Senate’s page office will confirm the scheduled date after processing incoming requests. To be a page this session, e-mail requests to Senator.Banks@iga.in. gov or send by U.S. Mail to: State Sen. Jim Banks,

Indiana Senate, 200 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46204. Participating as a page is an excused absence from school. Pages must arrive at the Statehouse by 8:30 a.m. to begin their day in orientation. They then tour the historic Statehouse and observe proceedings in either committee rooms or the Senate Chamber. Parents are responsi-

ble for transportation and student pages provide their own lunches, which can be economically priced at the Government Center Cafeteria, Circle

Centre Mall or one of the many downtown restaurants. For additional information, visit www.in.gov/Senator.Ba nks or call 1-800-382-9467.

The volunteers also recognized Director Mary Ellen Clark for 20 years of service with the program. Judge McCallen shared his appreciation for the program and called for a challenge to all current volunteers to enlist one new volunteer. In 2009, the CASA program had 56 new cases and this year, they have had 105 so far. Currently there are 48 children waiting for a voice to speak up in their best interest. CASA volunteers are appointed by judges in child abuse and neglect cases to conduct research into the family and then make independent unbiased recommendations to the court on behalf of the child. Prospective volunteers need to be 21 years old with no special background required. Volunteers should be mature, responsible people with good judgment. Volunteers must have the ability to remain objective, to relate to families in stressful situations and to communicate orally and in writing. Each CASA volunteer goes through an in-depth 30hour training program, followed by continuous inservice training. If anyone would like information about the program or would be interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact Director Mary Ellen Clark at 260-569-0533.

Crop farming’s future is big acreage, high-tech, earth-friendly A decade from now, farmers will rely on the marriage of agronomic, information and process control technologies to grow thousands of acres of crops in ways that create smaller carbon footprints, predicts a Purdue University agricultural economist. Crop farming

could become both simpler and more complex by 2020, said Mike Boehlje. “There will be challenges and opportunities for agriculture 10 years down the road,” Boehlje said. “Those will involve the continued change in the size of the agricultural industry at the farm sector level, the sus-

tainability issue, challenges associated with productivity and resource utilization and the increasing demands our urban society is making on farming.” Boehlje will discuss what he believes the future holds during the Indiana Certified Crop Adviser Conference. The conference takes place Dec. 14-15 at the Indianapolis Marriott East. Boehlje’s presentation, “Row Crop Agriculture in 2020”, is slated for 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Dec. 14. Large farms with vast acreages of corn, soybeans and wheat could become the norm in the years ahead, Boehlje said.

They already operate about 40 percent of the farmland and they’re growing their acreage by about 6-7 percent per year,” Boehlje said. “If you project out 10 years what you’ll find is that 5-6 percent of the farmers will probably be operating about 50 percent of the acreage.” According to Boehlje, the small percentage of farmers working a majority of the crop acres will need strong management skills, while competition will be keen among agribusinesses that supply those farmers everything from fertilizer to machinery. Sustainability won’t just be an agricultural buzzword in 2020 – it will be a way of life. That means adopting crop production practices that are economically and e nv i r o n m e n t a l l y viable. Consumers will demand more organic, locally grown and earthfriendly food, with products labeled as such, he said. Retail giant Wal-Mart already is moving in that direction. “If Wal-Mart wants that kind of product and expects to have that kind of label, they’re going to then be wanting more information throughout the entire value chain, including producers, in terms of how those products are produced, what

practices are used, what is the carbon footprint, etcetera,” Boehlje said. Farm technology in 2020 could consist of “integrated packages” that combine elements of b i o t e c h n o l o g y, nutrition, production techniques and process control procedures, he added. Integrated systems could remove most human error from crop farming. “Technology is increasingly allowing us to do two things. One, it allows us to be more accurate in our production practices and get even more output from the limited resources that we’re using,” Boehlje said. “Second, it does this automatically without human intervention. This is what we sometimes call ‘simplification technology.’ “The best example of simplifica-

tion technology is Roundup Ready, which has made it much simpler to decide how to control weeds. When we got that technology it simplified dramatically the choice of a weed control program. Triple stack traits in seed do the same thing in corn right now with respect to weed and insect control.” Availability of resources – including such musthaves as land, water and nitrogen and other crop nutrients – and how their accessibility affects productivity also stands to be an issue for grain producers in the next decade. Farmers will have to balance return on cost, investment and environmental considerations. While farmers will have better technology to boost productivity, there

could be limits on how they use that technology. “It’s not unrelated to the sustainability discussion,” Boehlje said. The Indiana Certified Crop Adviser Conference is geared toward CCAs and others who provide consultant services for farmers and others in agriculture. The event features speakers from Purdue and 12 other universities, the agricultural industry and government agencies. Sessions include presentations on nutrient, soil and water, pest and crop management issues. The Indianapolis Marriott East is located at 7202 E. 21st Street. Accommodations at the hotel are extra.

Dear editor, Due to scheduling conflicts, The Listening Project in North Manchester has been rescheduled for Dec. 13, 5:30 p.m., in the Blocher Room of the North Manchester Public Library. The Listening Project was most recently in Wabash on Dec. 6. We have also had two community Listening Projects in Roann

Wabash County Juvenile Probation Mentoring Program to support troubled youth When talking of transforming a community, one is certainly not a thought-of number. We often think of transformation requiring a large number of people participating in a massive program. However, one is a powerful force when talking of a mentoring program. What is mentoring? It simply is one individual investing their life into the life of another. Wabash County is pleased to announce the formation of the Wabash County Juvenile Probation Mentoring Program. “Wabash County has experienced a significant increase in juvenile delinquency filings over the last several years. Mentoring is a tool we have been working toward, but, until recently, have not had available,” says Judge Robert McCallen. “I am excited we are finalizing a proposal to begin offering this most effective technique to assist troubled youth. By matching them with a mentor, they can receive one-on-one service to empower them to improve their circumstances and to encourage them to develop positive characteristics into adulthood. There is simply no downside to this program, caring adults assisting Wabash County youth. Teaching them skills and building their character. Wabash County youth deserve the best that life has

to offer and our hope and intention is to reach out to those in need, match them with a mentor and expect miracles. I am very proud of the hard work of our probation department in conjunction with interested persons throughout our community to make this program available. I am particularly grateful for the efforts of Pastor Rick Tolley and P r o b a t i o n Department Field Officer Brian Bassett in putting this together. We can never give up nor can we ever lose hope that, working together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of our youth.” Bassett said, “As I was planning a career change into juvenile probation, I was considering different ideas, concepts and methods that could become successful tools or resources to inspire real change in the lives of troubled youth. The idea of a mentor program was at the top of my list. After meeting with Judge McCallen and Director of Probation Dallas Duggan, it was clear they shared the same vision and had additional input that could make some of these initiatives a reality. The need is great; within just weeks of working my caseload, I realized that an alarming amount of youth had very little positive support to guide

and promote positive character and values. More efforts were needed to help this population of youth avoid a lifestyle of criminal thinking and behavior.” Statistics show that youth who are involved in a mentoring relationship are less likely to commit crimes and be involved in drugs and are more likely to succeed in their e d u c a t i o n . Mentoring is a winwin situation. When youth succeed, the community becomes a better place to live. It is also a way to affect future generations. “Mentoring is all about building relationships,” Pastor Tolley says. “It is amazing what 1-2 hours per week by a caring adult can do in the life of a youth.” Pastor Tolley is currently overseeing the program. “I have seen this work and I am convinced it is the way to go,” he says. “I simply takes individuals caring enough

to invest their time and financial resources.” mentoring The program will not be funded with county money, but will rely on individuals and businesses to make this program a success. Pastor Tolley says, “I am confident in the Wabash community to step up to the plate and get behind this program. Already we have seen the community respond. The Youth Service Bureau and Director Donna Bogart have been instrumental in putting this all together. “I am excited and available to speak with businesses, churches and civic organizations about how they can be involved in shaping the future of Wabash County one life at a time.” Pastor Rick Tolley can be contacted to answer questions, schedule a time to speak to your group or to help individuals start the process of becoming a mentor, by calling 260571-2448.

Over 150 business and community leaders have agreed to be “locked up for good” on Dec. 7 at the “Jingle Bail” Lock-Up to benefit “Jerry’s Kids”. These “jailbirds” will serve their one-hour “jail sentence” between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at The Honeywell Center. It is an undeniable fact that our nation is facing tough economic times, and MDA is in need of funds now more than ever to provide the many services we offer to our over 550 local individuals suffering with muscle diseases. The Lock-Up begins with each jailbird being charged with having a big heart! Bail is set at $1,600 (the cost of sending two children to MDA’s annual summer camp) and each jailbird is encouraged to start raising money before the event by contacting friends, family and business associates! On the day of the Lock-Up, each jailbird is either picked up or they turn themselves in to MDA’s mock-jail. While in jail, each jailbird is booked by a judge, has their mug shot taken, and is offered a cell phone courtesy of AT&T to continue raising their bail, all while enjoying delicious jailhouse grub. Many look forward to this event yearly as a way to market their business and network with other jailbirds. Funds raised annually through the Wabash County “Jingle Bail” Lock-Up are critical to MDA’s provision of services to over 550 individuals living with neuromuscular disease in Northeast Indiana. MDA of Northeast Indiana provides: - Annual summer camp week at Camp Potawotami for youngsters with muscular dystrophy - The local MDA clinic at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne - The repair of durable medical equipment - Support groups and seminars - MDA’s lifesaving mission of research for causes and cures MDA is a voluntary health agency working to defeat more than 40 neuromuscular diseases through worldwide research, comprehensive medical and community services, and far-reaching professional and public health education. MDA maintains some 230 clinics nationwide, including a local clinic Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne. For more information regarding the Adams County “Help and Hope” Lock-Up, contact the Northeast Indiana MDA Office at 260-486-6698 or via e-mail at astoneburner@mdausa.org. MDA is the first nonprofit organization honored with the American Medical Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award “for significant and lasting contribution to the health and welfare of humanity.” MDA is dedicated to the eradication of the muscular dystrophies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), myasthenia gravis, the spinal muscular atrophies, Friedreich’s ataxia and a host of other neuromuscular diseases.

We as humans do not understand God’s plan for our life; but we do know that God and his angels were holding us in their arms on Monday, November 15, 2010. Thanksgiving really had a true meaning this year as we all survived the accident. We are all at home letting our broken bones and bruises heal. His plan for our life was not to be ended that day and we praise Him for that.

Perdue expresses thanks to Wabash Dear editor, I want to express my gratitude to Danielle Smith, of The Paper, and the great town of Wabash. Everyone has been so supportive and helpful to me. I am Kimberly (Kim) Perdue. I was in The Paper promoting a bariatric support group and telling my story of my bariatric journey. Danielle did such a great job. She really made me feel more at ease and, trust me, I was nervous. Wabash now has a bariatric support

group and special thanks to Mary Schaeffer for helping us become St. Vincent, Carmel, Bariatric Support Group. She really helps out with all of our nutrition questions. We are a group, but Mary and myself are the main ones who got things going and try to help solve questions as best as we can. We have others who are just a tremendous help: the folks in Wabash, Wal-Mart, Kroger, Fashion Bug, Helping Hands and I will never forget

my support from the great Brandt’s Harley-Davidson, may Steve rest in peace, what a role model for giving. New Life Baptist Church is our church, New Life Family constantly prays for all our needs, they always compliment and ask about my upcoming appointments and surgery. I love them all so much. You learn so much from others. At our church, we have other families who have great medical issues. Jacob Hughes is a young, 18-year-old

Learn More Center continues to impact lives during final push to reach fundraising goal The Learn More Center has entered the final weeks of its 2010 fundraising campaign to match a challenge from an anonymous donor. Contributions made before Dec. 31 will be matched dollarfor-dollar up to $45,000. Cynthia Johnson, director of education, stresses the importance of donations made during this campaign. “We want everyone to know that contributions made at this time will have double the impact as we seek to eliminate illiteracy, advance educational attainment and enhance — employability which means less poverty and more prosperity for Wabash County,” she said. “As director of education at the Learn More Center, I have the privilege of helping our adult students acquire the essential literacy skills needed to pass the GED test and qualify for jobs and further training,” Johnson continued. “I also get to see firsthand how the Learn More Center truly

changes people’s lives.” One example is a 20-year-old student named Taylor. Having endured a very difficult home life, Taylor was eventually welcomed into her aunt’s home with the stipulation that she work toward her GED. “Within six months, I witnessed this young girl go from just showing up to fulfill a to requirement, becoming someone who is so inspired by learning that she now aspires to become an elementary school teacher. Today, it is hard to remember that this outgoing young woman arrived at the Learn More Center with so little confidence or selfesteem,” Johnson said. Taylor is an extremely dedicated student; attending classes every day the Learn More Center is open, for an average of more than 20 hours a week. She also meets with a tutor outside of class to continue to improve her skills and has

significantly advanced her reading level. Taylor assists eagerly other students whenever possible and especially enjoys helping others learn math, a subject she loves. “It has been a joy to behold Taylor’s t r a n s fo r m at i o n , ” Johnson explained. Terri Camp, Taylor’s volunteer tutor, added, “Taylor has shown great determination in pursuing her GED. She has been faithful in attending our sessions and our relationship has grown. “When we first began to meet she was shy and intimidated. Over time she has become less worried about giving me a wrong answer and more confident in her vocabulary and comprehension when she reads. She is a loving and open person who wants to use her education to help others as well as to earn a living and become selfs u p p o r t i n g . Through the Learn More Center, I hope I am making a difference in the life of

a 20-year-old who has already experienced many struggles and disappointments.” Taylor is grateful for her life changing experience. “Everyone at the Learn More Center has been very supportive from the beginning, which I didn’t expect,” Taylor said. “The teachers, tutors and students truly want to see you succeed and that’s what has me going. kept They’ve really become a part of my family and given me a positive outlook on my future.” Thanks to Taylor’s determination and the dedicated care and instruction provided by the Learn More Center, Taylor will attend Ivy Tech next fall with the goal of finishing her education degree at IPFW. “At the Learn More Center, our halls are filled with stories that are similar to Taylor’s,” Johnson added. “Personal victories range from the mother who can finally read to her

children, to accomplishments that affect all of us in County, Wabash such as providing parents with skills to qualify for jobs that can support their families the means to become advocates for their educachildren’s tion – thus breaking the cycle of generational illiteracy.” conJohnson cludes, “Our programs are making a difference, but we need the community’s financial support to continue to provide for the adult basic education needs of our community. There is an urgent and critical need for nurturing programs where adults can safely attain the skills they were unable to acquire in traditional education. The Learn More Center is highly successful in providing safe and effective programs where students like Taylor can develop skills needed to succeed not only in education, but also in life.” Donations for the Learn More Center may be sent to 603

Wabash Musicale holds November meeting Wabash Musicale met Nov. 23 at the home of Minda Lehman with 23 ladies present and one guest. The theme for the year is “Down Memory Lane with Music through the Decades.” This month’s theme was the 1930’s. President Sarah See welcomed everyone and told of the 1930’s change of dress and hairstyle and of the Stock Market crash in 1929 with the subsequent depression of the 30’s. Chairperson Bettie Miller, dressed in her 1930’s outfit with her hat and gloves, introduced Kae Gifford, Margie Gillespie, Dorothy Merrick, and Sue Gray who sang “Brother, can you spare a dime”, by E.Y. Harburgh and Jay Garney. The ladies were dressed in their 1930’s kitchen attire complete with apron, rolling pin and metal measuring cups. This song asks why the men, who built the nation, find themselves abandoned and reduced to standing in bread lines. The quartet was accompanied by Marilyn Ford. “It’s only a Paper Moon”, published in 1933 and written by Harold Arlen with lyrics by E.Y. Harburgh and Billy Rose, was performed by Dorothy Merrick, Kae Gifford, Sue Gray, and Margie Gillespie, accompanied on piano by Marilyn Ford. Singing “Peace in the Valley”, written by Thomas A. Dorsey, were Dorothy Merrick and Kae Gifford accompanied by Marilyn Ford. Gifford, accompanied with music from an old recording from the Internet, sang “Did you ever see a Dream Walking”, by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel, as Emily France modeled the beautiful purple velvet wedding dress worn by Mrs. Gifford’s mother, who was married Nov. 26, 1932. She also wore the amethyst necklace her father had given her, with hat, and purple and silver shoes. Dorothy Merrick, Kae Gifford, Sue Gray and Margie Gillespie sang, “Happy Days are here again”, copyrighted in 1929 by Melton Ager and Jack Yellen. This song is best remembered as the campaign song for Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s successful 1932 presidential campaign. In closing, all Musicale members then sang “Over the River and through the Woods”, a traditional Thanksgiving song, and “Winter Wonderland”, written in the 1930’s, accompanied by Marilyn Ford. Upcoming events include the Women’s Clubhouse Program on Dec. 14 at 1 p.m. Refreshments were served by hostesses Norma Trump, Jo Wade, Angie Beauchamp and Susie Jones.

Wabash Friends Church to host All Pro Dads breakfast

Santa Claus to visit Blue Bird CafĂŠ on Dec. 11

The All Pro Dads program is a piece of an organization called Family First, whose mission it is to strengthen men and women in their roles as parents, as well as foster strong relationships between parents and their children. The All Pro Dads piece has gained worldwide recognition, due in no small part to spokesperson Tony Dungy, former Indianapolis Colts head coach. All Pro Dads provides men with a daily e-mail that gives advice and encouragement to those raising families. They also host events in conjunction with NFL teams, where dads and kids can have a unique opportunity to incorporate building relationships with enjoying time at an NFL facility with players and coaches. The organization also provides free resources to any man wanting help being the leader of the home. Finally, All Pro Dads has started a program called the Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Breakfast. This monthly gathering gives fathers and kids an opportunity to spend special time together with other dads and kids in the community. Each Saturday morning breakfast also features a dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction of his kids, a short video aimed at spurring discussion, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Father Timeâ&#x20AC;? challenge (prompting dads to spend special time with their children), and a raffle prize giveaway.

Apaches unable to rebound from slow start against Tigers

WABASH’S ALEX HENTGEN pulls up in the lane amid several Peru defenders on Dec. 3. The Apaches lost to the visiting Tigers 69-37. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) by Shaun Tilghman Wabash coach Tom Robbins believed his Apaches were ready for action on Dec. 3 but the visiting Peru Tigers jumped out to a big lead early and coasted to a 69-37 victory. Neither team scored in the first minute and a half of play but Peru senior Taylor Smith got the Tigers started with a three-pointer followed by a lay-up just 10 seconds later. Wabash junior Nate Price put his team on the board with a trey at the six-minute mark, but he would be the only one to do so as the Apaches found themselves down 21-3 after the first stanza. “I felt like we were loose coming out of the locker room but we got down early and when we got down we really tightened up,” said Robbins. “If we would have hit a couple of shots early and gotten up on

them it would have been a different ball game, it would have been a tight ball game at that point.” Price opened the second quarter with another long ball to pull the Apaches within 15, and then the Tigers got things rolling again. Peru connected on 5-of-7 free throw attempts, making them 13-of17, to help increase their lead to 25 at the break, 39-14. The third wasn’t much of a prize for either team as Peru managed to slightly outscore Wabash in the quarter 9-5, bringing the tally to 48-19. “What we wanted to do was focus on the possession-topossession ball game,” Robbins said. “We need to stop looking at the scoreboard, even if we’re ahead, and we need to be focusing on the here and now – the possession that we’re in. “We were at a point there [in the

third quarter] when we knew the game was in check. Our guys were still playing but then they were in a position where they were relaxed and playing.” Wabash showed signs of life in the final stanza as Price and senior Alex Hentgen scored eight and five, respectively. The 18 points for the Apaches in the quarter was just shy of the 20 scored by the Tigers. “Our focus the last three quarters was getting ourselves in a position where we’re thinking of fense-to-defense, of fense-to-defense, play-by-play, execution, doing the right things and being disciplined,” Robbins said. “What you saw there in the fourth quarter was a team that was relaxed and loosened up because there was no pressure, so they were just playing.” In the fourth quarter the two teams

combined for 29 free throw attempts, and while the Tigers hit 8-of-13 the Apaches were only able to convert 7-of-16. “I really believe a lot of that was mental,” Robbins added. “We shoot 40 free throws each day in practice and they’re always between drills for a break. We usually average around 75 percent as a team so it’s not a matter of being able to put the ball in the hole – it’s related to everything else you

saw out there.” Twenty-one of Wabash’s 39 points resulted from shots made behind the arc, and Robbins believes he knows why that is. “I think there are two things at work there,” he explained. “One is that we’ve got guys that can shoot, which will also translate to the free throw line once we get our minds going in the right direction. But I think another reason is we were sitting out there open and we didn’t have to worry about taking the ball into the paint – I think we might have been a little intimidated. “It’s all connected and it’s all mental, and that’s pretty much where we’re at as a program. I feel like we’ve got the guys to do what we need to do, I feel like we’ve got the depth to do what we want to do, but without the mental part of it that’s not going to happen.” Price finished with 14 points to lead Wabash, while Hentgen added nine and sophomore Shea Beauchamp had eight. The Apaches are in action again on Dec. 10 as they travel to Maconaquah, with JV beginning at 6 p.m.

Three Rivers Conference to raise money to fight cancer

The Three Rivers Conference (TRC) has set aside the week of Dec. 13-18 to raise money in a friendly competition to battle cancer. All TRC schools will take part in this one-week event. Money can be donated at the gate at all TRC contests that week. A bucket will be at the gate for each school participating each night so that you can donate on behalf of your school. Each school and individual teams may also come up with other ideas to raise money that week. At the end of the week, the school collecting the most money will be recognized as the “winner”; however, the real winners are everyone who takes part during the week. Those interested in donating on behalf of any of our TRC schools may send a check to the athletic program of your school of choice care of “TRC Cancer Week”. All money and checks should be received by Dec. 18. Please make the check out to the athletic department of your school of choice. Each school’s athletic department will write one check at the end of the week on behalf of the school. Thanks for supporting the Three Rivers Conference and their fight against cancer.

Barbara J. Hughes Kuehne, 66, died Nov. 12 in Boise, Idaho. She was born July 9, 1944, in Newark, Ohio, to Robert and Roberta (Hutchison) Hughes. During her childhood, her family moved frequently throughout the Midwest and they lived briefly in Nashville, Tenn. Ms. Kuehne graduated from South Milwaukee High School in 1962. While in high school, she discovered her natural talent for the Spanish language. She went on to graduate from Miami University (Ohio) in 1966 with a degree in Spanish and a minor in Portuguese.

Many of her students went on to further their education and skills in Spanish and frequently give her the credit; this gave her great joy. She loved to travel and took many groups of students on trips to Europe and South America. She also loved to go on her own adventures. She traveled throughout Europe, Argentina, Paraguay, Mexico, Venezuela, and even ventured to the continent of Antarctica. Her love of art and cultures inspired her to get her master’s degree in Humanities from Western Michigan University in 2000. Along with being a beloved teacher, she was also a dedicated, selfless mother and sister. She would do just about anything for her children. She will be missed, especially for her sense of humor, Donald Duck voice, and wonderful cooking.

Ag economist: Watch three Bs in the 2012 farm bill The impact of a yearlong discussion in Washington about the 2012 farm bill are now up in the air following the November elections, according to Purdue University agricultural economist Roman Keeney. When the new Republican House majority takes up the farm bill issue, farmers should expect lawmakers to focus on three major areas: Brazil, budget and baseline. In 2009 the World Trade Organization allowed Brazil to impose sanctions against the United States after ruling that U.S. cotton subsidies were illegal under the WTO framework. In April the United States struck a last minute deal to send $147.3 million dollars in annual support to Brazilian cotton production. “That deal is a temporary resolution to the WTO case that Brazil won against U.S. cotton subsidy programs several years ago,” Keeney said. “The major issue in resolving the

WTO case is for the U.S. to bring its policy into compliance in the 2012 farm bill.” Sending the support dollars to Brazil is not a huge economic stress to the United States, Keeney said, but it brings attention to agricultural spending at a time when the budget deficit is a major public concern. The federal budget deficit emerged as a significant political in the factor November elections. “When you consider both the moderate impact of the recession on U.S. agriculture and the negative views of crop subsidies by those struggling to weather the economic downturn in the non-farm population and in other countries the U.S. trades with, it may be difficult for Congress to justify writing new farm legislation without reduced spending,” Keeney said. In practice, price levels have been high enough that agricultural subsidy spending has been at a minimum the past three years. Annual direct payments that do not

adjust with market conditions are the majority of subsidy spending and that is where legislators will need to make cuts to generate budget savings in the farm bill. “After 15 years of giving out these payments, political champions to keep payments in their current form seem in short supply,” Keeney said. “The irony of this is that the fixed direct payments made to producers are, by far, the most compatible with WTO parameters on allowable spending. So, we may have the WTO case with Brazil encouraging less spending on farm subsidies and the response being that we cut those favored by the WTO rules.” Legislative work in 2010 on the farm bill was aimed at locking in a baseline. Legislators thought farm bill spending had reached a minimum level and if the congressional committees moved ahead to write new legislation they could do so without participating in any larger budget

reform process. That prospect seems less likely given the November elections, which turned over leadership in the House of Representatives and seems to indicate a hawkish more approach to budget cutting. “Agriculture has successfully avoided budget cuts in the past and was trying to do so this time by adopting the minimal baseline and moving quickly to get a new bill,” Keeney said. “The changeover in the House means that work was probably for naught and, given the legislative priorities of the new Congress, we are not likely to see new farm policy until after the 2012 election year.” Whenever work resumes on the successor to the 2008 farm bill, it is likely that the three Bs of budget, baseline and Brazil (i.e. agricultural trade) will be among the major influences that push for lower total spending on farm programs, Keeney said.

JUST A THOUGHT: “We do know that no one gets wise enough to understand the heart of another, though it is the task of our life to try.” ~ Louise Erdrich SANTA CLAUSE IS COMIN’ TO TOWN! Plan to visit with Santa at an All You Can Eat Pancake Sausage and Breakfast, Dec. 11, 8 10:30 a.m., at the L a F o n t a i n e C o m m u n i t y Building. Children eat free, adults for a free-will donation.

If you want to make sure that your house is seen, call and leave a message at 981-2605 by Dec. 15. S P E C I A L C H R I S T M A S MEMORIES: I was recently made aware Christmas is only four weeks away. Now, I knew December was creeping into the scene, but I didn’t know it was as close as it is until those words jumped off the com-

puter screen and slapped my face: “Four weeks until Christmas.” Panic ensued. Stop the clocks! I’m not ready. I’m a bit of a grinch, at least compared to others who go all out with the decorations. I’m just not into all that. Never have been, really. All those lights take extra electricity, not to mention the time it takes to put it all up – and tear it all down. I like it simple. And I like it fun (or whacky, however you wish to interpret it). Like the year I wanted to put the Christmas tree in the new toilet. Yes, you read it right. My grandmother was giving me a new toi-

let as a Christmas present. Seriously, who gives a toilet for Christmas? Had the new toilet shown up before Christmas, as she mentioned it could, it would have become my tree stand. And I would have decorated it with toilet paper garland, empty toilet paper rolls, Preparation-H boxes, mini plungers. You get the drift. My grandmother would have had a cow when she showed up on Christmas morning, but what a memory that would have made! Honestly, it’s one of my biggest Christmastime regrets that it didn’t “flush” out as planned. A n o t h e r Christmas, a few years ago, I gifted my cousin Deb. Back when we were in grade school, she had a set of pink cateye glasses with rhinestones. She hated those glasses. So much so, she buried them on the school playground and told her mom she lost them. Her mother believed her (and I helped keep that secret)...until everyone gathered around Deb and the special gift was presented. Her gift was decorated with a bow and hand shovel. Once the box was opened, she dug through the box full of dirt only to find a new pair of pink cat-eyed reading glasses, complete with rhinestones. That was the day her mother found out how naughty Deb had been. In our family, even the naughty receive “special” gifts. And those special gifts and fits of laughter make a wealth of memories. If you listen closely, you can still hear the echoes of gut-wrenching laughter that spilled from my family that night. And so you see, I’m running out of time for planning the special touch I bestow upon my family at Christmastime. It may not be the typi-

cal gift, or decoration, but it does seem to make some great memories. And that’s what life’s all about. ~ Lynnanne HAVE NEWS you’d like to share? If so, you may contact by e-mail, me leavesofthefall@emb arqmail.com (leaves of the fall AT embarqmail DOT com (no spaces or caps); or

MANCHESTER ALUMNI LOOKING FOR ADDRESSES: The Manchester Alumni Committee is planning a Manchester High School reunion on June 25, 2011. Along with the reunion they are compiling a directory of all graduate names and addresses from Central, Chester, Laketon or Manchester for the years 1910 to 2010. With the possibility of 8,000 names, the committee is trying to update the directory and send registrations by email to as many as possible to save the $3,520 cost of mailing. If you are a graduate, a parent or relative of a graduate of Central, Chester, Laketon or Manchester, they are asking you to check and/or update information by Dec. 15 on the Manchester High School website,

www.mcs.k12.in.us/mhs/ alumni/displaalumni.html. If you do not have a computer, please send given name, first name, current last name and address, year of graduation and the school, email address and phone number to Janene Dawes, 4455 N 200 W, Urbana, IN 46990; or call any of the following committee members: Jane Ann Airgood (260-9826881), Mary Elizabeth Ayres (260-982-4465); Janene Dawes (260-7743642); Donna Harmon (765-833-5663); Jackie Ihnen (260-982-4688); Leo Judy (260-982-4770); Nancy Knapp (260-982-6665); Sue Richards (260-723-4624); Lois Scott (574-453-9034); and Mary Lou Tyner (260982-2865). RELAY FOR LIFE OF NORTH MANCHESTER is looking for event volunteers but even more for residents to form a team and register to participate in the event on April 2930, 2011.

last year, online at the event. If residents missed the kickoff, but want to register a team for the event, they can do so anyat time www.relayforlife.org/nort hmanchesterin. Team captains will find an online version of the Team Captain Information Packet with all the materials they need to get started on their fundraising events. Team Captains are also asked to attend the Team Captain meetings on these dates: Dec. 14, Jan. 18, Feb. 15, March 15, April 19 (Ice Cream Social), and April 28 (Trackside at the Manchester College mall, final meeting prior to Relay).

did, and I don’t know if it was right to feel the way I did. You can say that I felt that the World War II Memorial was an afterthought, meaning, “Hey guys, let’s build one for the old guys.” Now, don’t get me wrong, the Korea and Vietnam guys deserve everything they got for the great jobs they had done. Also, I quite often think of all the guys of World War II that have passed on that won’t see a memorial that their efforts helped inspire the building of, because it was so late coming. Now, we move ahead to Nov. 9. My lovely wife, Phyllis, and I go to Fort Wayne and stay overnight at the home of my old tank commander’s wife, Eleanor Parker, as I did not relish the idea of driving from North Manchester to the airport in darkness. Thanks Elmer! On Nov. 10, I leave for the airport at 5:10 a.m. and arrive at 5:30 a.m. I park my Jeep and I get directed into this monstrous mess hall where there are about 30-40 people.

When Bob Meyers called and told me I had been picked to go on this trip, I really didn’t know how to react, except to say, “Okay, I’ll be there.” I didn’t hear any more for about two and a half weeks when I received a small package with instructions on how to get to the National Guard Airport. I had spoken to a buddy of mine, Bill Bellinger, that had made the trip in July or August, and he said it was a great trip, trying to dispel not-so-good my thoughts about the World War II Memorial. Those kinds of thoughts were brought on by the fact that it took about 63-64 years to build that memorial. When the Korean and Vietnam conflict memorials were built soon after each conflict had ended. I don’t know if other World War II guys felt like I

(continued from page 32) happens is that someone gives me a bright green shopping bag, or weekend bag with some goodies in it, including a tan t-shirt that I am supposed to wear, for identification, I guess. This made me think that they thought I might get lost and it would help them find me. I had hoped that they wouldn’t think us 80+ guys and dolls weren’t all senile, helpless or easily disoriented. Now, someone is leading me to the mess line. This takes me back to my old Marine mess lines, “Here it is”, scrambled eggs, S.O.S. (I remember it well) and fried taters with coffee, of course. I’m sure the guys overseas are served better. I hope they are! At this point though, it was great. We move ahead to about 7:15 a.m. There are many more people in here now. I have met a few very nice people, two being from my hometown, North Manchester, Dorlan Wagner and Wayne Ross, and two lady vets from Peabody Home that I did not meet, I am sorry about that. We now get ready to start boarding the plane. They put us all in buses just to board the plane about two blocks away. If I had known that there were 75-100 lovely people that had made a lane for us, each hold-

ing and waving an American Flag, I would have opted to walk that lovely looking lane of terrific people. Now, we are all on board. The pilot tells us it will be a flight of 1 hour and 16 minutes to Dulles Airport, Washington, D.C. We have an uneventful flight; I like that kind. Now, one highlight of the trip: We had to walk from where we landed for about 3-4 city blocks to our buses, which again, was lined with flagbearing men and women from beginning to end. I have never been hugged and kissed by so many women and shook hands with so many men. They made me feel like I had won the war all by myself. What a dream. Now, we are on the way to downtown D.C., there were many nice things that happened. One was I was appointed a guide, like I said earlier, to keep us from getting lost. But, he was a terrific guy named Rick Oliphant; the third man in our group of three was George Reinking. There are too many nice things that happened to write about except the memorial itself. It is a beautiful thing to see. The beauty of it from my point of view was the fact that every state had a monument. After all,

every state sent some guys to each service: Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force. We were given an hour and a half to take our pictures with friends and whatever. One terrific thing about the memorial is the Washington Monument, which is magnificently beautiful in the background. I would have done some things differently on the memorial, but they forgot to ask my opinion, of which I have few. Again, they did a terrific job without me. After our hour and a half, we boarded the buses to go watch a beautiful thing, the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was a very impressive performance by the men on duty. Three men in perfect precision, doing something different, but every snap of the heels was done at precisely the same moment. The turns done at exactly the same moment, the walk done with the same stride and timed perfectly. These men are phenomenal. I can imagine the work it took to be that good and what it takes to stay that way. They are a special group of dedicated men. They deserve all the attention they get. I loved watching them, as everyone did, but I felt that their uniforms were not as

spic and span as I thought they would be, being a former Marine. I thought the uniforms could have had more color and brightness. Oh well, they do a terrific job and that is good enough. We were taken on a slow tour of Arlington National Cemetery, seeing Kennedy Grave, Robert E. Lee’s home, etc. It was one terrifically nice place, I’m sure some of the guys would like to be put in there. Now we are running to about 7 p.m. and heading back to Dulles, no lovely ladies and flags going back, but that is okay. Coming in took care of tonight. We didn’t’ leave Dulles until about 9:30 p.m. We arrived in Fort Wayne at about 10:45 p.m. and stopped in the Guard mess hall and were given a few more goodies to take home. You can imagine how 80+ vets are feeling, pretty pooped about now. Oh, now before I forget, I noticed that of the 79 vets, there must have been 20-25 in wheelchairs, walkers and canes. After watching these terrific guys getting around like they did with no complaints, and I and some others moving around without any help, I decided right there I would not complain anymore about all those little things we all complain about every

day. I finally decide to abandon ship and get my lovely wife and go home. I bid all a cheery good night and go out to my jeep. That’s great, but where the heck is it? I don’t know where I parked it and there are no lights anywhere in the parking lots. I must have hiked around for 15 minutes. Now, that’s not long if you’re 20-30 years old, but at 88, I’m pooped and ticked

at myself. Finally, I find it. Then, I realize I don’t know how to get out to Ferguson Road. So, I looked up a guardsman. He didn’t know how to get out. Second guardsman, same thing. Finally, I spy a young lady driving out an asked her if she could lead me out of the complex. She said yes and away we went. I got my wife at 11:30 p.m. and made it home to North Manchester at about 12:30 a.m. It was a

great day and a great time. The topper was meeting talking to all those terrific of World War II veterans. A great big thank you to all of the lovely, hard-working people of the Honors Flight Program for making this terrific day possible. To them and to the National Guardsmen who were so good to us, I say thank you! Bart Corricelli Co C – 4th Tank
