by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com “She’s here,” says Chris Newport, as he smiles to another employee. “The bus just arrived; I can’t wait to meet her.” Newport, Wellbrooke of Wabash, The Center for Health and Wellness General Manager, quickly walks through the halls of the newly built 67,000 square-foot center saying “She’s here,” to nearly every employee he passes. Today is a big day for Wellbrooke; their second resident has just arrived. On Saturday, Jan. 26, Wellbrooke’s first resident arrived, and the center has room to facilitate 100 residents. Wellbrooke offers 30 service-rich residential apartments and 70 private suits for rehabilitative or long-term care. “Our three main focuses at the Wellbrooke of Wabash are hospitality, positive outcomes for our residents, as well as quality resident care,” Newport told The Paper of Wabash. “We are bringing something to the Wabash area that they haven’t had in the past. It’s a different outlook on senior living,” he said. According to the Wellbrooke website, they have partnered with Living Well in Wabash to, “create a satellite location for the local senior center for Wabash County and with Wabash County Museum to bring their historical displays into the building for its guests as well as the local community.” “We have a lot of focus on destinations,” said Newport. “We have very nice rooms, but we’d like the residents to be out.” Wellbrooke has a full events calendar and will offer residents activities throughout the day. There is plenty of common space, four dining areas, full-service salon, and a full-service rehabilitative center that focuses on physical, occupational and speech therapy. They also have a putting green, movie theater, computer learning room and fire pit.

Wellbrooke strives to offer all the amenities, but they also want to partner with the Wabash Community and have outings for the residents. “We don’t want to limit them to here in the center. We have a bus that we will utilize on a daily basis,” said Newport. The focus of being a part of the community is apparent throughout the whole building. Eighty percent of the renderings have to do with the Wabash area. The halls are lined with photos taken throughout the county and stretched onto large canvases. Newport says Wellbrooke takes the hospitality approach, and they want families to feel just as welcome as the residents. Visitors are invited to use all of the amenities and be a part of the Wellbrooke Center. “We want to make sure we maintain the safety of residents, so we do secure the building in the evenings,” said Newport, but there are access points around the building where visitors can reach the nurses’ stations and be let inside. “We want to maintain their independence and keep them safe,” Newport said. The Wellbrooke Center staff will make the effort to ensure residents are living the way they want. “If residents want to sleep in until 11 a.m. and have breakfast, they can. If they want to wake up at 3 in the morning and have a cheeseburger, we’re going to make that happen,” said Newport. Wellbrooke, has a 24 hour licensed staff, and 24 total staff members. They are currently waiting for one final inspection to receive their Medicare certification, but they are accepting residents. For more information, visit their website at wellbrookeofwabash.com.

many initiatives in one and after four years of its existence, it is up and coming as a mainstay to organizations of its kind in north central Indiana.” The Initiative will celebrate its collaborations and achievements at an annual meeting at 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 31. The public is invited. The meeting will precede certification training for Category 14 fertilizer applicators. All sessions are in the MU Union, on East Street on the east edge of the

North Manchester campus. Registration begins at 8 a.m. A highlight of the annual meeting will be discussion of removal of two low dams along the Eel River, in a partnership with faculty and students in the Environmental Studies program at M a n c h e s t e r University, as well as state and federal agencies. The Initiative used a $120,000 grant to remove the mid-19th century dams at North Manchester and Liberty Mills on Oct. 11-12. Funding was primarily through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Ohio River Basin Fish Habitat Partnership. “After both dams were removed, it didn’t take long for the

stream to stabilize and reestablish, says Michaelis. “Within the first couple of hours, the difference in stream height was strikingly evident at different points upstream of the dams removed.” Over the next couple of years, MU students will continue to monitor ecological changes as a result of the dam removals. Manchester College leads the Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative, collaborating with Wabash, Kosciusko and Miami county agencies, organizations, landowners and others.

DeBoer: Farmland owners to pay higher property taxes in 2014 Indiana’s farmland owners will pay higher property taxes in 2014 on the heels of an increase in the base rate for assessed land value, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Larry DeBoer says. The base rate, which is the starting point for calculating taxes on farmland, jumped from $1,630 per acre in 2012 to $1,760 for 2013. Taxes assessed on this year’s base rate will

be paid in 2014. The base rate has exactly doubled in just seven years, from $880 per acre in 2007. The value of Indiana farmland is assessed based on use value rather than market value. So, even if a parcel of farmland borders commercial or residential development, it is assessed based on the income it can generate from farming, not the selling price. When determining

property taxes, Indiana’s Department of Local Government Finance takes into account the base rate, a productivity factor and an influence factor. Productivity factors are based on the soil’s productivity for growing corn. They are scheduled to rise for taxes in 2014, but according to DeBoer, bills have been proposed in the General Assembly to cancel that change. The influence fac-

tor is a percentage reduction in the dollar amount of the productivity factor to account for conditions, such as frequent flooding, grade or forest cover. The assessed farmland value has been rising because the base rate is calculated annually based on a number of factors, such as commodity prices, land rents, input costs and interest rates. “The base rate is

Family awarded 175 years in Wabash County John and Lynanne Fager, LaFontaine, recently attended a Wabash County Genealogical Society meeting. John Reed Fager was awarded certificates designating First Families of Wabash County. John’s ancestor, also named John Reed Fager, and his wife Rebecca Conner settled in Wabash County in 1834. John’s name was on tax records of Wabash County in 1835, designating the founding of Wabash County. This first Fager resident settled near Hopewell Church. Wabash County turned 175 years old in the year 2010.

Farm Bureau scholarships available

The Wabash County Farm Bureau, Inc., Board has decided to give ten $600 scholarships again this year to students wishing to further their education. Parent, guardian or applicant must hold a valid Wabash County Farm Bureau, Inc., membership. The applicant must be entering a college full time, either for the first time or already be a college student. Application forms are available at the Farm Bureau Insurance offices in Wabash or North Manchester, or from the guidance counselor of their school. All applications must be returned by March 15.

calculated using a capitalization formula,” DeBoer said. “The rent or net income earned from an acre is divided by a rate of return. The department calculates capitalized values for six years, drops the highest value and then averages the remaining five years to get the base rate. “Each year, a value from an earlier year leaves the calculation and a value from a recent year is averaged in. The base rate goes up when the value coming in is higher than value dropping out.” Compared with six years ago, farmland rents are higher, commodity prices are up and interest rates are down - a combination that increases the base rate. But there’s a four-year lag between the numbers in the calculation and the tax year, so the numbers to be used for 2014 taxes are from 2005 to 2010. For example, for 2012 assessments, which will be taxed in 2013, the capitalized value for 2003 was erased and the capitalized value from 2009 included, DeBoer

said. The 2003 value was $1,407 per acre, and the 2009 value was $2,066. That means the base rate rose from $1,500 per acre for taxes in 2012 to $1,630 for taxes in 2013. DeBoer said the trend of increasing property taxes will continue. “Rents and commodity prices were higher and interest rates lower in 2011 than they were in 2005, so the base rate for taxes paid in 2015 should be about $2,050 - a 16.5 percent rise from those paid in 2014,” he said. The drought’s reduction of corn yields to a 20-year low

will affect property tax bills, but not until those payable in 2016, when the 2012 numbers enter the calculation. “Rising rents and prices and falling interest rates should raise the pay-2016 rate to about $2,430,” DeBoer said. “The 2012 drought will have a small effect. If yields had been normal, the base rate probably would have been $100 to $200 higher.” DeBoer’s full report and accompanying podcast can be found in his column Capital Comments at https://ag.purdue.edu /agcomm/pages/New scolumns.aspx.

USDA announces important updates on the milk income loss contract (MILC) program U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)

Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator

Juan Garcia announced

today that

beginning Feb. 5, USDA will issue payments to dairy farmers enrolled in the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program for the September 2012 marketings. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the authorization of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) through 2013 for many programs administered by FSA, including MILC. The 2008 Farm Bill extension provides for a continuation of the MILC program through Sept. 30, 2013. MILC payments are triggered when the Boston Class I milk price falls below $16.94 per hundredweight, after adjustment for the cost of dairy feed rations. MILC payments are calculated each month using the latest milk price and feed cost. As announced by FSA on Jan. 22, all dairy producers’ MILC contracts are automatically extended to Sept. 30, 2013. Eligible producers therefore do not need to re-enroll in MILC. MILC operations with approved contracts will continue to receive monthly payments, if available. The payment rate for September 2012 is approximately $0.59 per hundredweight. The payment rate for October 2012 marketings is approximately $0.02 per hundredweight. The payment rate for November

2012 marketings is zero. Before the October MILC payment can be issued, dairy farmers must complete a new Average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) form for 2013. The new form, CCC-933 Average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Certification and Consent to Disclosure of Tax Information, must complete by producers before they can receive payments for a variety of programs administered by FSA and USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. Producers may obtain CCC-933 at their local USDA Service Center

or online at www.fsa.usda.gov/ccc 933. Specific detail about AGI may be found here. Dairy operations may select a production start month other than October 2012. Producers who want to select a production start month other than October 2012 must visit their local FSA office between Feb. 1 and Feb. 28, 2013, also known as a relief period. FSA will provide producers with information on program requirements, updates and signups as the information becomes available. For more information

on MILC, contact a local FSA county office or visit the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Stop 9410, Washington, DC 20250-9410, or call tollfree at (866) 632-9992 (English) or (800) 8778339 (TDD) or (866) 377-8642 (English Federal-relay) or (800) 845-6136 (Spanish Federal-relay).

Nate’s Lawn Care celebrates 10 years

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com At age 19, Nate Schuler took his mother’s push mower out and started cutting grass to make a few extra bucks. He never expected to make a career out of it and become a successful Wabash County business owner, but that’s exactly what he did. This spring, Nate’s Lawn Care will celebrate their 10th anniversary in business. To show his appreciation, Nate is offering a 10 percent discount on all landscape jobs booked before May 15. “At 19, I didn’t expect all this, but I wanted to grow the business to be able to support myself and my family,” Nate told The Paper of Wabash. Since Nate started mowing, he has taught himself how to do full-makeover landscaping jobs. He and his employees do the planting, designing and installation. They also build retaining walls, patios and other outdoor features. “I just learned as I went,” Nate said. He never took any formal training, but learned from his own experiences. Nate has seven employees and trains them himself. Nate says the best part of owning his own business is meeting new people and working with local residents and businesses. “The community has been very supportive. I have very loyal customers and new ones, too,” he said. “It’s a lot of hard work, but it pays off to see the finished product. I love turning the projects into something beautiful and seeing the end result,” Nate said. “I just want to thank all my customers who have supported me over the years.” To learn more about Nate’s services or to book a job, call Nate’s Lawn Care at 568-0994.

Wabash County teens speak out during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month One out of eight high school girls in Indiana reports being hit, slapped, or physically hurt on purpose by their dating partner (Indiana Coalition Against Sexual Assault 2010 Report). This is over four percent higher than the national average. Locally, Wabash County Teens Against Dating Abuse (or T.A.D.A.) consists of high schools students and exists to educate the community, encourage healthy dating behaviors among youth and teens, and let others know it is okay to speak up. Student members created their name and mission statement when the group began in August 2012. Wabash High School students joined the group for a variety of reasons. “It is important to me because way too many teens are in a relationship where they are being abused whether they know it or not, and this gives us a chance to open the public’s eye to teen

dating abuse,” said senior Justin Holley. Junior Jaclyn Lewis agrees. “Everyone should know that abuse is something that shouldn’t be hidden. Your story may be able to make the difference to someone who is being abused continually. Share your story and change a life.” To raise this awareness during National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, T.A.D.A created a calendar of healthy relationship tips and distributed it to local schools. Student members from Northfield High School created healthy relationship quizzes online to share with their peers. On February 24 from 1-4 PM, T.A.D.A. will host a Dad-Daughter Day Date at the Wabash County YMCA. Dads (or other father figures) and daughters are invited enjoy an afternoon of fun including a cornhole tournament and photo booth. T.A.D.A. members created the Dad-

Daughter Day Date event to celebrate the special bond between dads and daughters, especially during this month. The students believe no father wants his daughter to end up in an abusive dating relationship, and dads or other father figures are powerful role models for girls’ future dating partners. As senior Katie Smith said, “Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month is important to me because I believe that there is a chance in this world for every person to have somebody that they can count on not to abuse them, physically, emotionally, or verbally. Teens need to know that there are people that can help them through it in a positive way. Any person can really help whether it be a teacher, coach, or any adult they trust.” Teens Against Dating Abuse is a program of Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service

PRO GRADE PROTECTION

AREA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS began a Teens Against Dating Abuse group in August 2012. The group is currently aiming to raise awareness during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month by creating calendars with healthy relationship tips and a Dad-Daughter Date Day set for Feb. 24.

Committee, who offered supportive testimony. As is his practice, the committee chairman, Representative Tim Brown, did not take a vote on the bill yesterday when it was presented. Both pieces of legislation address the unreasonable increases in the state’s soil productivity factor proposed by the state’s Department of Local G o v e r n m e n t Finance. The soil productivity factor is one component in the complex formula used to assess property tax for farmland. As Farm Bureau’s Katrina Hall pointed out in her testimony in both hearings, statewide property taxes for farmers could go up as much as 26 percent in the next year without a legislative fix. Such an increase would create an unfavorable business climate for agriculture and place unreasonable new financial burdens on the men and women who grow our food. Indiana Farm Bureau

9 Coyne thanks supporters for successful Holiday Food Basket Project Beery questions gun ownership www.thepaperofwabash.com

February 6, 2013

Dear editor, There’s no better way to start the New Year than with a thankful heart. As Director of Lighthouse Mission Thrift Store of Wabash County, I’d like to personally thank anyone and everyone who played a role in our huge Holiday Food Basket Project. There 1,122 families in our community that received groceries from us dur-

ing Thanksgiving Week. Nearly 25,000 pounds of food was given away. Do you have any idea how many hands it took to do that? Or how many dollars were needed to pay that bill? Well, I’ve done the math, several times in fact, and approximately $35,000 was needed. But to count the volunteers, I can’t do. I know how many signed in to help, I know who sent

checks, I know students collected stuffing, peanut butter and jelly, but how about those who gave so their church could purchase stuffing for us, or how about the daycare parents who had to get stuffing on the way to school? It’s amazing and overwhelming the community support we had, and I’m so thankful, because of all of you - way too many to list and I

don’t even know all your names. That includes all those of the Chili Cook-off, Poole Foods, Kroger and Bechtol’s, the fellows from Hipsher Tool and Die and Wilkerson Lumber. 3,500 residents of our community had holiday groceries. That is so amazing. I get the credit, but I give God the praise, and I thank all of you. As a staff we pray that God will stir hearts so peo-

ple will give dollars and volunteer their time. As the numbers of those in need continues to increase, the dollars come and new folks come to help. I am so blessed and thankful to be part of this great ministry. Again, my sincere thanks to all who were involved during 2012, and I invite you to continue your involvement in 2013. Claire Coyne

Renicker thanks donors for successful blood drive Dear editor, We want to thank all our donors and volunteers who helped with the labors, donated food or donated blood for our January blood drive. All of you working

together helps to make it as success. Also thanks to the North Manchester Church of the Brethren for the use of their facility once again. We collected a total

of 64 units, which was considerably lower than normal due to sickness and the weather at this time of the year. Hopefully we can get our numbers back up at the next blood drive on

Feb. 28. It will be held at the same location from noon until 6 p.m. We hope to see you there. Darlene Eckert completed her twogallon goal and Keith Skiles reached his 10-

gallon goal. We thank each of our faithful donors that come nearly every time. Donna Renicker American Red Cross

Dear editor, I doubt that there is any public issue that results in as much irrational thought and behavior as one surrounding gun ownership. First of all, I have never heard any gun advocate quote the first phrase of the Second Amendment. Militias are no longer necessary to protect us against Native Americans or the British. Neither has been a serious threat for a long time. No one is advocating the abolition of all guns, but every time this issue comes front and center, we hear politicians and many others trot out the argument that it isn’t the guns that are the problem, but rather the mentally ill people who use them. Which would be more likely to enhance the public safety, finding and locking up all those suspected of harboring violent thoughts, or banning assault weapons? I have one more question. Would those who have perpetrated these dastardly deeds have been just as dangerous if they had been armed with a baseball bat, a butcher knife, or even a single shot handgun or rifle? This is not a difficult question, but think before you answer. Leland Beery North Manchester

Local Financial Institutions Partner with Junior Achievement Schoolhouse Project Raising Funds for Kids J u n i o r Achievement serving Greater Wabash recently partnered with local financial institutions to help bring business, economic, and free enterprise education to kids. The Schoolhouse Project is a fundraising opportunity for Junior Achievement with help from local

banks and other businesses in which customers purchase a paper “schoolhouse” for one dollar. Junior Achievement serving Greater Wabash will use the proceeds to help them reach students within the Wabash City Schools and within the Metro School District. “The partnership with area financial

institutions provided a personal touch for local residents and schools. The visual splash of schoolhouses on the bank walls gave students the opportunity to share their classroom JA experiences with their parents and primary caregivers. It was an honor and privilege to join with the community in

this venture toward financial literacy for our students,” said Candy Russell, Junior Achievement Board of Directors and chairwoman on the project. JA serving Greater Wabash will provide programs on financial literacy to approximately 1,280 students during 20122013 school year

10 Andy McCord to be honored with IHSAA Media Service Award Page

A well respected radio voice in north central Indiana, Andy McCord, has been selected by the IHSAA Executive Committee as this year’s recipient of the Distinguished Media Service Award for District I. McCord’s contributions to high school sports will be recognized on Friday prior to the North Miami and Southwood boys basketball game in Wabash. IHSAA Commissioner Bobby Cox and Sports Information Director Jason Wille will make the presentation. McCord has been the Operations Manager at WJOT in Wabash since 2007 where he also is heard as the play-by-play voice of each of the four Wabash County schools and heads up the Mi Bash Sports Network that includes WJOT and WARU in Peru. His interest in the radio industry and playby-play announcing began at a young age thanks in part to his grandfather who worked as chief engineer for WBAT in Marion. He began his career hosting Friday Night Sportstalk while calling some area games for WLHN in Elwood between 1995 and 1997 which then led to his first stint with WJOT where he co-hosted the Rockin’ Scoreboard program for two years. From there, he spent another two years with WBAT/WCJC in Marion providing play-byplay for games among the various Grant County schools and as host of the “5th Quarter” program on Friday nights. He then served as play-by-play announcer for three Cass County schools while at WHZR in Logansport in 2005 and 2006. During his career, he’s had the good fortune of covering area teams while broadcasting their games at the RCA Dome, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Lucas Oil Stadium, Victory Field and Ball State’s Worthen Arena. Among them were Oak Hill’s two appearances in the 2008 and 2009 IHSAA Girls Basketball State Finals, Southwood’s trip to the volleyball state finals and Northfield’s run to a state championship during the baseball state finals last June. McCord is a 1991 graduate of Marion High School and later attended Indiana Wesleyan University. He and his wife, Lisa, have three children, Brad, Tori and Richie and are the proud grandparents of six. They reside in Sweetser, Ind. This is the 28th year the IHSAA has recognized outstanding members of the Indiana news media from each of its legislative districts for excellence in the coverage of high school sports. McCord is the second of three individuals to be honored this school year joining Lynn Houser, retired sportswriter of the Bloomington Herald Times. District 1 covers 22 counties across northern Indiana.

First Quarter Run Buries Knights by Gary Andrews The Southwood boys basketball team took on Northwestern Feb. 2. A first quarter run from the Tigers was too much to overcome, as the Knights fell 64-47. After buckets from Corey Phillipy and Shane Smith had the Knights trailing just 54 early in the game, Northwestern would go on a 10-0 run that set the tone for the night, as the Tigers built a 15-4 lead. After a Phillipy free throw and a bucket

from Jackson Blair, the Tigers hit a three before the buzzer to take a commanding 18-7 lead after one. Northwestern would score twice to start the second quarter, opening a 22-7 lead before two Smith free throws. The Tigers would then connect two more times to increase the lead to 269 before Smith and Blair scored to make it 26-13 with 3:55 to go. Northwestern would finish the quarter on an 8-2 run to widen the gap to 19 points at 34-

15 at the half. The Knights would find some new life in the third quarter with some balanced scoring led by Smith. Jackson Blair got things going with a bucket that led to a 134 Knight run, which cut the Tiger lead to 28-18. Two times the Knights had the lead cut to 10 points, aided by threes from Smith and Levi Sutton, but the powerful Tigers built the lead back to 15 points. Smith scored the last bucket of the quarter as the

Knights trailed 47-34 with a quarter to go. The Knights had six players score in the fourth quarter, but Tiger runs gave them their largest lead of the night at 20 points midway through the quarter. Sutton would connect on his second three of the night, but the closest the Knights could get was the final score margin of 64-47. Leading Southwood was Shane Smith with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Jackson Blair had 10 points and three rebounds.

Levi Sutton had six points, three assists, and three steals. Corey Phillipy had five points, four rebounds, and three steals. Northwestern won the junior varsity game 37-27. Leading Southwood was Noah Kirk with nine points and five rebounds. Luke Elliott had seven points, five rebounds, and four steals. Jacob Lloyd had six points and three steals. Alex Harmon had five points and two steals.

Norse boys fall to Canterbury The Northfield boys basketball team hosted and fell to class 1A #9 Ft. Wayne Canterbury, 63-54, Feb. 2. Canterbury controlled the momentum and led at all stops as they led the

Norse 20-10 after one and 34-22 at the half. C a n t e r b u r y increased their lead in the third, winning the quarter 16-13 to lead 50-35, before the Norse would have their best quarter of the night, scoring 19

points to win the quarter 19-13, but lose the game 63-54. Leading the Norse was Collin Dawes with 17 points, two rebounds, three assists, and a steal. Ryan Keaffaber had

NORTHFIELD SENIOR ANDY ROSER HAS CHOSEN to continue his baseball career next year at Huntington University. Roser signed his national letter of intent Friday. Roser said he chose Huntington because he could see some immediate time catching. Playing for Huntington assistant coach Mark Flueckiger during the summer with the Sluggers, Roser said “He has coached me for a long time and he’s almost kinda brought me up to be a Forester.” Coach Frame said, ”It’s one of those years we are lose our starting catcher to graduation, so we were looking for a catcher. The biggest thing that stood out to me is I talked to people who know him and know him well and No. 1 is what a great kid he is and No. 2 he’s a leader with a great work ethic. He swings the bat well and could play other positions, but we want him to catch.” Pictured are (front row, from left) Jodi Roser (mother), Andy Roser, Eric Roser (father); back Row, Mike Keaffaber, NF Principal, Tony Uggen, NF A.D. and Baseball Coach, Mike Frame, Huntington University Coach.

assists, two steals, and four blocks. Andrew Adamson had 11 points, and two assists. Tyler Brewer had nine points, two rebounds, and five steals. Grant Sailors had eight points and five rebounds. Tyler King had seven points and four rebounds, Taylor Vigar had seven points and two

Drudge pleads guilty to dealing in methamphetamine by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabashc.om On Jan. 18, Zachary Drudge, 20, 6292 E. Blue Star Highway, Lagro, signed a plea agreement with Wabash County Prosecutor Bill Hartley. Drudge pled guilty to dealing in methamphetamine, a Class B Felony. On Nov. 14, 2012, Deputy Dustin Hurst received an anonymous tip that Drudge would deliver methamphetamine to Roxanne Daugherty. Hurst parked near the location and waited for activity. He observed a female exit the apartment and get into a Chevrolet Cavalier with three people in it who were later identified as Zachary Drudge, Philip Dalton and Diane Lake. Hurst followed the vehicle to the Wabash County Hospital. In a statement issued by Daugherty, it was said they drove to the hospital to use the ATM where she withdrew $120. Shortly after the Cavalier left the hospital, Sergeant Guenin initiated a traffic stop for failure to signal intention to turn at the intersection of LaFontaine Avenue and Old 15. Sergeant Guenin contacted Officer Matt Daugherty of the Wabash City Police and requested K-9 assistance. The K9 gave a positive alert on the vehicle, and all subjects were asked to exit the vehicle. The subjects were patted down and the officers searched the vehicle. During the search, officers found a small baggie containing a white powdery substance with a syringe lying next to it, a pair of brass knuckles which were on Dalton, two baseball bats, packages of rolling papers, several cell phones and a

chrome revolver style handgun. There was one gram of methamphetamine found in the car. The subjects were taken to the police station for interviews. During the interviews, Lake stated that she knew Drudge was going to sell to Daugherty, which is why they stopped at the ATM. Daugherty stated that she believed Lake had placed some unknown substance inside her body at the request of Drudge. During cavity searches, x-rays of the subject’s bodies revealed nothing on Dalton or Daugherty. During a search of Drudge, he was asked to remove his socks and shoes. An officer observed Drudge place a sock over a hypodermic needle inside his shoe. At this point, officers noticed Drudge became upset. Officers stated that Drudge’s emotions went back and forth from irritated to concerned. During conversation, Drudge told officers that he has an addiction to methamphetamine that started at age 15. He also stated that they would not have been caught if Daugherty had placed items in her body, and he stated that he cooked methamphetamine three to four times per week. Wabash County P r o s e c u t o r ’s Investigator Terri Weaver was with Lake during her search. Lake was allowed to use the restroom under Weaver’s supervision. Weaver noticed Lake use a large amount of toilet paper to cover something up, and she asked Lake to not flush to toilet. At that time, Lake turned and quickly flushed, but Weaver grabbed the contents and found small bags containing

ZACHARY DRUDGE

Vicodin. Lake stated that she did not have a prescription for the pills, but they help her with her feet. During Drudge’s interview, he stated that he was getting a ride to his grandmother’s house to do work, and he claimed he was not guilty of anything and that the drugs were not his. The interview was stopped after Drudged stated he no longer wanted to speak to the police. If accepted by Circuit Court Judge Robert McCallen, the plea agreement states Drudge will be sentenced to 10 years in the Indiana Department of Correction and is required to cooperate and testify truthfully against his co-defendants. In exchange, the state will dismiss the remaining charges of conspiracy to commit dealing in methamphetamine, a Class B Felony, and illegal possession of a syringe, a Class D Felony, as well as probation violations currently pending. As part of the plea of guilty, Drudge waives his rights to have a public and speedy trial by jury. He also waives his right to appeal any sentence imposed by the trial court that is within the range set forth in the plea agreement and he may not challenge the sentence on the basis that it is erroneous. Drudge will be formally sentenced on Feb. 18 at 2:15 p.m.

Mr. Dave’s receives Governor’s “Half Century Business Award” By Shaun Tilghman Mr. Dave’s Restaurant, located at 102 E. Main St., North Manchester, recently received the State of Indiana “Half Century Business Award” from former Governor Mitch Daniels for “outstanding contributions to the economic growth and prosperity of Indiana.” According to the Indiana Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation (IEDC) website, the Governor’s Century and Half Century Business Awards are intended to honor Indiana businesses that have served Hoosiers for at least 50 years. The award program was instituted in the early 90s, but the IEDC has since restructured the awards to allow for

the continued tradition of the program. In addition to the qualifying criteria to be eligible for recognition, the IEDC states the following: “Indiana companies that have been in operation for 50 to 99 years, and meet program criteria, are eligible for the Half Century Award and award winners will be recognized with a commemorative certificate. Indiana companies that have been in operation for 100 years or more, and meet program criteria, are eligible for the Century Award.” Indiana businesses that receive this recognition are considered to have provided Hoosiers with valuable products and services, as well as steady employment, for 50-plus years. Mr.

Dave’s certainly meets the criteria, having celebrated its 50th anniversary as a mainstay restaurant in North Manchester in September of 2012. In the spring of 1962, Dave and Shirley Clapp opened Dave’s Drive-In, which featured carhop service, on the west side of North Manchester (at the current Hardee’s location). Dave had been around the restaurant business since boyhood, and Shirley was in high school when she began to build her restaurant experience. In December of 1974, construction of the new restaurant was completed at the current site of Mr. Dave’s. During the restaurant’s 35th anniversary celebration in 1997, Dave and

Shirley announced they were selling the business to their son and daughter-in-law, Kevin and Tina Clapp. Over the past 50 years, Mr. Dave’s and the Clapp family have earned significant recognition, both nationally and internationally, for their breaded tenderloins, whose notoriety was first established through local word-ofmouth. On the application for the Half Century Award, Dave mentioned the importance of not just the current Clapp family members, but of his grandfather and father as well. Dave stated that his grandfather started his food business in 1910 with a meat market, and owned an IGA grocery store for 50 years. His father owned a restaurant

(Kenny’s Drive-In) in South Whitley, and Dave began learning valuable skills of the trade at the age of 15. “My dad believed in quality, and he used to tell me that if you take care of your business, your business will take care of you,” said Dave, during an interview about the 50th anniversary, featured in the Sept. 5, 2012, edition of the NewsJournal. “We were able to use this restaurant to teach our kids about hard work and responsibility. We really want to emphasize all that Kevin and Tina have done to get us to this date. They’ve had the restaurant for 15 years and they haven’t changed the recipes or the quality of the products – they didn’t take any short-

cuts. It’s because of their hard work and dedication that we can have this 50th anniversary.” According to Dave, he considers this most recent recognition to be an appreciation award for the entire family. “It’s a very nice award to receive,” he added, “I am very proud that we have been in business this long in North Manchester, especially with several big chain restaurants down the street.”

Charley Creek Gardens presents basic pruning techniques

The Charley Creek Gardens is offering a new lunch and learn series beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 6th, at 12:15 p.m. Kelly Smith, Garden Director, will share information on basic pruning techniques at the first of these talks.

Pruning can be an intimidating gardening practice. If you prune at the wrong time, you might cut off an entire season worth of flower buds. Knowing when plants flower is one of the keys to successful pruning. Bring a lunch and leave with

great pruning tips just in time for the upcoming season. Lunch and Learn at the Gardens is a series of garden related talks held at the Education and Resource Center, 551 N. Miami Street. They take place once a month on a

Wednesday from February to October. The talks will begin at 12:15 and will end by 12:45. Main parking is at 518 N. Wabash St.; limited parking is available behind the Education and Resource Center. For more information, please call 260-563-

1020. The March 13 talk will be on Plants in Motion. Further information on the Lunch and Learn Series and the Charley Creek Gardens can be found at www.charleycreekgardens.org.

Timbercrest to Host Second Annual Festival of Ice Timbercrest Senior Living will host the Second Annual Festival of Ice on Saturday, Feb. 16, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. The event will be held on the Timbercrest front lawn. Jim Houser, owner of Sub-Zero Ice Sculptures, will return with another carver. The two will complete a total of six sculptures over a three-hour period, so there will be lots of activity throughout the entire event. This year, there will be radiant patio heaters to make spectators more comfortable as they watch outside. If standing outside in the cold does not sound appealing, there will be plenty of places inside to sit and watch. The Liberty Mills

Church of the Brethren Youth Group will serve refreshments in Timbercrest’s Rose Garden dining room. There will be chili, cookies, hot chocolate and coffee available to warm you up after being outside in the cold. Once again, several local businesses and organizations were responsible for making the Festival of Ice possible. Businesses that have sponsored blocks of ice are Beacon Credit Union, Manchester College, Manchester Family Dentistry, McKee Mortuary and Midwest Poultry. These businesses each covered the cost of a block of ice and to pay the carver for their time. The Festival of Ice could not be a successful

event without their generosity. The Festival of Ice will be a fun time for all ages and the North Manchester commu-

day of the event, you are welcome to see the carvings after; they will remain on the front lawn until they melt.

FESTIVAL COMMITTEE MEETING will be on Feb. 7, 7 p.m., at the L a F o n t a i n e Community Building in the Lion room. There is a big Lion sign on the door. The LaFontaine “Ashland Days” Festival will be held on June 14 and 15. THERE WILL BE A PANCAKE AND SAUSAGE breakfast for the LaFontaine Elementary School Library on Feb. 16, from 8-10 a.m., at the L a F o n t a i n e Community Building. THE JANUARY MEETING of the LaFontaine Literary Club was held in the home of Ethel Eib and brought to order by President Patricia Walters. Members stood and recited the pledge to the American Flag and the American Creed. Roll call was answered by naming favorite children’s books. There were 13 members and one guest present. A collection was taken at last month’s meeting and was sent to Rolling Meadows Home as a Christmas gift. This month’s collection will be used for the Troyer Memorial Library. Thanks were given to Jean Gilbert and Carolyn Royce for planning the wonderful banquet in the Honeywell Center’s Crystal Roomon Dec. 13. Carolyn led and Patricia accompanied us as we sang Christmas carols. Jean took the group on a tour of the Honeywell Center, explaining much of its history. The meal was delicious and all enjoyed themselves. New member, Beth Sheely, attended the banquet, but was better introduced at the January meeting when she told us more about herself. She is originally from Ohio and has moved into

our area with her husband who works for GM in Marion. They have four children who are grown and living outside the home. Beth finds that her empty nest status allows her time to do scrapbooking and volunteer work around the community, including the Wabash County Hospital. We welcomed her to our club. A memorial was given for Ruth Martin, former club member who lived to be 104 years old. Ruth was the Grand Marshall for the first LaFontaine Festival. Many members had lots of wonderful memories of Ruth’s sweet and gracious spirit. A book will be purchased in her honor and added to the town library. A memorial for Bonnie Walters will be given at the February meeting. The treasurer for next year was elected. Donna Pattee-Ballard agreed to assume this position and was voted unanimously by the membership. The program was presented by Joyce Wilcox on, “Cookbooks Through the Years.” She brought along many unique books, some leaving you guessing about the preciseness of the measurements asked for—a pinch of this—a handful of that—an eggshell full of this! Joyce shared her mother’s recipe box and recipes written hastily on the back of an envelope or any scrap of paper that was at hand. We enjoyed perusing through the Homemaker’s Extension cookbook and those printed by the FHA. We even saw some familiar faces in pictures in those books. A special thanks to Ethel and her sister for entertaining us in such a festive decor and the decadent desserts. Next month’s meeting will be hosted by Margaret Piety at the Troyer Library and the program will be given by Janice Dawes. THE BOOK CLUB for adults will meet Feb. 18, 1 p.m., at the Troyer Memorial Library. Books were made available at the library Jan. 28 or after. The book for

this session will be Stones From the River led by Berti Huffschmidt. The library is not scheduled to be open that day, but the book club will meet.

VOICE STUDENTS from Wabash High School recently visited the Indiana Statehouse to meet their representatives and voice concerns over tobacco related issues such as the new smoke free law and the need for protection from secondhand smoke. (photo provided) VOICE students from Wabash High School participated in a field trip to the Indiana State House. VOICE is a youth empowerment organization that speaks out against the way tobacco companies market to youth. The youth were able to meet with their state representative, David Wolkins in the

House Chamber and Senator Jim Banks in front of the Senate Chamber. This was a great opportunity for the youth to question their representative on tobacco issues. They questioned about the new smoke free law and the need to be protected from secondhand smoke. The youth expressed their concern about

the new budget and continued funding for the tobacco program, which provides for their events and activities. All the VOICE members expressed their appreciation for the time given to them. After their time with the representatives, a history lesson about the State House with a tour was pro-

vided. Sitting in the Legislator’s chambers and the State Appeals Court Room gave the youth a firsthand view of where many of the decisions are made for the state. The youth were encouraged to think about becoming a page or intern if they are interested in pursuing government work.

Member organizations sought for new countywide college success coalition network

Community organizations from Wabash County are invited to participate in a statewide effort designed to help Hoosier students and adults enter and succeed in college. Made possible by Indiana’s Learn More Indiana partnership, the initiative is part of a comprehensive effort to increase the percentage of Hoosiers who attend college and complete a college certificate or degree within four years. “College completion has a significant impact on the quality of life and future earnings for Hoosiers,” said Indiana Higher E d u c a t i o n Commissioner Teresa Lubbers. “We recognize that rallying community organizations around the common goal of college success is critical to meeting the education needs of our students and our state.” A steering team from Wabash County will join teams from twenty other Indiana counties at workshops held in Indianapolis

adults take steps that prepare them for college success and open the door to college enrollment. “We’re looking for all sorts of coalition members,” said Julie Garber. “Schools, faith-based organizations, youth service organizations, service clubs, businesses, government agencies, libraries and all other organizations interested in helping young people in our county get to college are encouraged to join.” Member organizations will learn about academic rigor, college opportunities, financial aid, and college access mentoring. They will also explore small and comprehensive activities that organizations can implement to help students and adults get to college. College access activities may be as simple as placing flyers provided by Learn More Indiana in shopping bags or scout troops driving through a college campus on the way to a camp outing. College access activities may also be more

during the next few months. Each workshop will focus on one aspect of coalition development. Steering team members from Wabash County include Julie Garber, Community Foundation of Wabash County, Pam Guthrie, Ivy Tech Community College, Clint Kugler, YMCA, Josh Blossom, Wabash High School, Cynthia Johnson, Learn More Center, Megan Sarber, Tri Kappa, Carol Horn, Growing Grounds, and Bill Konyha, EDG, Inc. Following each workshop, steering team members will return to Wabash County to facilitate discussions with representatives of local member organizations. Members will analyze data for Wabash County provided by Learn More Indiana and establish county goals for college access and success. Member organizations will also implement college access activities designed to help the county’s students and

comprehensive, such as a service club developing a local scholarship or a boys club establishing a college access mentoring program. Local organizations are encouraged to join the county’s College Success Coalition. Organizations can apply for membership online at www.learnmore.org. Learn More Indiana is a state-led communication and community outreach initiative working to help Hoosiers succeed in school, complete col-

lege and connect to careers.

Paul says Obama bought the election “Debt limit battle to harm vets, elderly,” Obama says. According to respected financial experts and some government agencies, this is not true. They state tax funds paid to the federal government, each day, will cover necessary authorized expenses. Further, those organizations that determine credit ratings declare unless something major is done in reducing entitlement spending, any increase in the debt limit will result in major lowering of U.S. government credit ratings. Obama also

declared, “We are not a deadbeat nation,” during his sham press conference. The only reason we aren’t is that the federal government now pays our mounting debts plus interest by borrowing (from unfriendly nations) 40 cents of every dollar being squandered. He also said he is willing to negotiate debt reduction with GOP leaders, but only if they are separate from raising the debt limit. Based on historical experience with the democrats, President Reagan and both Bush presidents would strongly advise

against that offer. The Democrat party is never going to look at entitlement adjustments. They are hell-bent on continuing their tax and spend habits. Also witness the article on page 5 of the same issue: “Tax bump pinches workers,” Obama repeatedly stated in both of his campaigns, “I will raise taxes only on the very rich; I will protect the middle class.” (That was the start of his class warfare plan). A few in the GOP congress foolishly believed him and went along with the ‘rich people’ tax increase. It raises about $60 billion a year, in new revenue, which pays for about five days of federal spending. However, no mention was made (by the main-stream media) of the administration’s ‘little adjustment’ to social security withholding taxes by raising them just two percent. Even those who voted for Obama in his ‘mandate’ must now accept that he has again bamboozled the little guy. The page 5 article is rife with examples of 77 percent of U.S. taxpayers being really hurt by this tax increase - most of them in the middle class or lower class. They now face necessary reductions in their spending for essentials. According to the article, this will result in $125 billion each year not being put into buying power. There is no mention how many jobs will be lost as a result of this insane decision. Of course, we have only begun to see the impact of Obamacare. These writer’s insurance premiums jumped 30 percent. Experts say they will double in 2014, or be totally cancelled by employers. Maybe Obama doesn’t really care about these issues, since it may add potential voters to his infamous welfare programs. Mitt Romney was right. Obama did buy the election. John Paul Warren
