PREP BASKETBALL - 19 When the Manchester Squires hosted the Northfield Norse for a TRC match up on Feb. 5, the weather proved a factor in the gym just as it had outside all week. Both teams \ struggled with aspects of their respective game plans due to lack of regular practice opportunities. To see how the game played out see this week’s Sports Shorts.

February 9, 2011 EMA and Highway Department lift Level 3 Travel Advisory by Danielle Smith At the Feb. 7 meeting of the Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners Bob Brown, Wabash County EMA, reported an accident in which an ethanol tank rolled over. Over 50 hours of manpower have been reported in the cleanup of the accident, not including Brown’s hours. The cleanup is still in progress. Brown and County H i g h w a y Superintendent John Martin agreed to lift the Level 3 Travel Advisory that was still in effect in Wabash County due to last week’s blizzard. Brown reported that there are a few bugs to be worked out to smoothly deal with the severe winter weather the County experienced.

Harvey Hinklemeyers restaurant nearly complete Owners expect to open within the month by Shaun Tilghman It has been a long endeavor, and there have been some setbacks, but Harvey Hinklemeyers is expected to be open for business by the end of February. Dennis “Denny” and Diane Hahn, owners of the new restaurant, located at 1605 N. Cass St., Wabash, have remained optimistic throughout the process and are becoming increasingly excited to share the fruits of their labor with the community. “We wanted to be open by the end of last year,” Diane said, “October or November was our goal, but obviously we’ve gone beyond that. The first step was acquiring the property from Walmart, which turned out to be a lengthy process. The building process also took a little longer than anticipated because there are just so many different decisions to be made. Along the way we’ve dodged a tornado and had setbacks in deliveries because of a blizzard, but I think we’ve gotten through all the rough spots and now we’re so very close.” The Hahns have been affiliated with Peru and Miami County their whole lives, so Wabash has always been a neighboring community. “My mother actually resided in Wabash many years ago, when she was a young woman,” Diane explained. “We also visit the Honeywell Center from time to time, so we were somewhat familiar with Wabash before this was even begun. “The owner of the franchise (Jeff Butts) has been a good friend of my hus-

He kind of planted the seed in our minds a couple of years ago and about a year and a half ago we finally made the decision to become involved by owning our own store. Since then we have both retired from our careers and are now ready to jump into a whole new career.” There is a Harvey Hinklemeyers in Peru and also one in Kokomo, and while the restaurants all follow the same 70s theme they do have their differences. “This restaurant follows the same 70s theme as the others, but the colors are a bit different because [Jeff] let me pick those myself,” Diane added. “So all the restaurants share the same theme but they look a bit different, as the owners’ individual styles add personality to each one. “I hope when people walk in they begin to have a happy experi-

ence. In choosing the colors and the different items for the inside of the building, we’re hoping people feel good about just being here. Then I hope the food takes it one step further, and that’s what keeps people coming back.” The Harvey Hinklemeyers restaurants feature such menu items as pizza, breadsticks, pastas, and grinders, as well

as a salad bar. The new location in Wabash will have a seating capacity of approximately 150 people and in the summer the capacity will increase by about 24 with the use of their outdoor patio on the west side of the building. When the restaurant is completely open they plan to employ 50-60 people. Their tentative hours

will be Monday through Saturday, from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. “In the summer we will probably extend those hours,” Diane said, “If the demand becomes for us to stay open later on a regular basis then we will certainly consider that. We’ll also have carry out and we’ll be delivering within the city limits initially,

but depending on the demands of the area we might expand that down the road as well.” The Hahns are considering when the best time to actually celebrate their opening will be, but the decision will probably be made down the road. “We’re just going to kind of see what happens when we first (continued on page 7)

Parents, teachers and administrators meet to discuss MSD reconfiguration by Danielle Smith More than 100 parents, teachers and board members met Feb. 7 at the Honeywell Center skating rink to share their thoughts on the reconfiguration of the elementary schools proposed by the administration of the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County (MSD). Dr. Sandra Weaver, MSD superintendent, believes the reconfiguration will improve consistency within the grade levels and teacher collaboration. She also believes MSD students will benefit from creating equally sized classes, and she presented information about the current disparity in class sizes between the different schools. “Why should some classes be so much smaller and some so much larger,” she asked. “In my opinion, we need to get past the “luck of the draw” mentality.” She addressed the sensitive subject of “reduction in force” (RIF) by saying that they are not planning to reduce staff in the proposal for next

year. A reconfiguration committee has been formed, and they have developed a possible model for the reconfiguration, but Dr. Weaver stressed that nothing has been decided as of yet. In this model, Metro North would house Kindergarten-third grade, and Sharp Creek would house fourth grade-sixth grade on the north side. Southern students would attend Southwood for Kindergartenfourth grade, then switch to LaFontaine for fifth and sixth grade. Dr. Weaver then turned the microphone over to Assistant Superintendent Dr. Brian Dawson for an explanation of the transportation system. Although transportation has not yet entered the planning stage, Dr. Dawson explained that busses will shuttle students between Southwood and LaFontaine and between Metro North and Sharp Creek. He said that times may need to be adjusted in order for students to arrive at their respective schools. (continued on page 7)

3 Grants totaling $865,000 welcome School of Pharmacy to northeast Indiana www.thepaperofwabash.com

February 9, 2011

Northeast Indiana foundations and other organizations intent on supporting area economic development and education are welcoming Manchester College’s new School of Pharmacy to Fort Wayne. Still 21 months from its inaugural class in fall 2012, the professional doctoral program has received funds and pledges from the region totaling more than $865,000, said College President Jo Young Switzer. Such local enthusiasm for northern Indiana’s School of first Pharmacy has been critical in securing other funding. “Manchester College is using these and future grants to create a state-of-the-art teaching and research facility and to attract extraordinary faculty committed to student learning and research,” said Switzer. “We are grateful these community supporters envision a role for the School of Pharmacy in the economic development of the region.”

Partnerships with area pharmacies, hospitals and other health-care providers will provide experiential opportunities for the pharmacy students. Lilly Endowment Inc. considered regional enthusiasm for the pharmacy school when awarding $35 million to the College in late December. “These bold, forward-looking plans for the School of Pharmacy and the support offered for them should add significantly to the intellectual capital in northeast Indiana,” said Sara B. Cobb, vice president of education for the Endowment, in announcing the grant. English, Bonter, Mitchell Foundation has awarded $400,000 for the pharmacy school in a grant that continues the legacy of Fort Wayne community enrichment exemplified by the late Dr. Calvin English, the first medical director of Lincoln National Life Insurance Co., and his family. Helping Manchester College feel at home in

Franklin S. Tiede Memorial Scholarship applications due March 1 Applications for the Franklin S. Tiede M e m o r i a l Scholarship are due to the Community Foundation of Wabash County, 218 E. Main St., North Manchester, by March 1. This scholarship is open to persons between the ages of 18 and 25 who are pursuing a vocational or educational objective beyond the high school level with a goal to propagate the Christian faith. There is no geographical limitation, and current

recipients may apply again. Applications are available at www.cfwabash.org. For more information, call the C o m m u n i t y Foundation at 260982-4824.

Fort Wayne, Parkview Health is providing substantial support with temporary office facilities on its central Fort Wayne campus. Parkview Health, Lutheran Health Network, and other systems health-care will provide pharmacy student experiential opportunities and cofunded faculty. The City of Fort Wayne has awarded $145,000 in economic development funds. Fort Wayne-based Steel Dynamics Foundation was an early supporter, giving

the College $100,000, recognizing the pharmacy school will have a major economic development impact within the home communities of its employees through education in business and technology. Steel Dynamics Inc. is the fifth-largest producer of carbon steel in the United States and, through its OmniSource Corp. subsidiary, one of the country’s largest metals recyclers. Other early foundation giving is led by $150,000 from the Olive B. Cole Foundation Inc.

and $70,000 from the Robert Goldstine Foundation, both based in northeast Indiana. Those grants recognize the economic benefits of a pharmacy school that will bring more than 40 employees and 265 students and their families to the region, as well as a school and research facility, health collaborations and future pharmacists for local health care. The Olive B. Cole Foundation was created in 1954 by Richard R. Cole to honor his mother by enhancing

job creation and education opportunities in northeast Indiana. The Robert Goldstine Foundation was established in 2002 by the estate of Fort Wayne Robert native

Goldstine to support economic development and the arts. For more about the Manchester College School of Pharmacy, visit www.manchester.edu/pharmacy.

Now in the same location you could have found them 23 years ago, you can still find Clarence coming in throughout the week to work and check in with Michele. Michele joined her father in 1987 after attending Indiana University. It was important to her to come back to her roots set in Wabash and continue to build upon her family’s agency of which she is very proud. The Biltz team stressed their love of the dayto-day business operations due to the new faces it brings. “The people make the business. If it was just about business, I wouldn’t be here,” Clarence added. This reoccurring theme is

Wabash County CROP Hunger Walk to be held May 15 The date for the next Wabash County CROP Hunger Walk is May 15. This event is a fundraiser for Church World Service, an interdenominational agency that provides hunger and disaster relief around the world.

Wabash and one in North Manchester. Mark you calendar now and plan to participate in this important event. Various individuals and organizations work together to plan the walk and recruit participants. Both

churches and civic organizations can contribute.

Area Five Agency’s Energy Assistance Program helps with heating bills

Farm Bureau scholarships available

As the weather continues to remain cold, Area Five Agency on Aging & Community Services would like to remind the community that we are still accepting applications for enrollment in the 2010/2011 Energy Assistance Program (EAP). This year’s program began in October 2010 and will continue through the middle May 2011. Families have the opportunity to submit only one application during the program year. If you have already applied for this program year you are welcome to apply again in October 2011 for the 2011/2012 EAP Program Year. The EAP Program is in place to assist low-income families with their heating bills this winter. The funds will help reduce the burden of highenergy costs for families that are in need. Area Five Agency understands the stress that winter months can put on your budget; therefore we also offer budget planning through our Family Development Program. Income eligible families will receive a one-time benefit to their heating and electric companies to offset their utility bills during the winter months. The benefit could average approximately $100 for your electric bill and approximately $200 for your heating bill (these are average benefits and could vary according to your individual situation). Income eligibility is 150 percent of the poverty guidelines. Interested families must contact their local Area Five Agency to set an appointment to submit their application. The EAP Program year runs from October to May, therefore as long as you have not applied for this program year, October 2010 to present, you are welcome to apply. The Area Five Agency for Wabash County is located at 105 Olive St., Wabash IN 46992. You must set an appointment by calling 260-563-6860. Please visit our website at areafive.com for additional information including specific income guidelines and a detailed list of documentation required to complete your application. To access details about the Energy Assistance Programs simply look for “Energy Assistance” under the “Families” link.

Rotary Club, Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity, Paul L. S p e i c h e r F o u n d a t i o n , C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County and Indiana Association of United Ways via the Lilly Foundation - along with the pledges and donations from local industries, business-

es and individuals will enable United Fund to invest more than $412,000 in Wabash County this year. “We are thrilled with the 2010 campaign results,” said Parker Beauchamp, 2010 campaign chair. “Of course, we could not have done it without the incredible support and con-

tributions of our donors.” In addition, the receipt of the organization’s largest onetime gift of $50,000 from an anonymous donor helped the 2010 Campaign set a new fundraising record for United Fund. Furthermore, employee payroll deduction has increased $54,000 or 87 percent in comparison to the previous campaign. Individual giving is up 25 percent from 2009 and 440 people were new contributors. Donors are able to take advantage of matching grants offered to United Fund. A donation of one dollar can be leveraged and doubled, tripled or quadrupled; which is

the case with the 2010 Campaign for qualifying gifts. “The 2010 Campaign’s record setting high reflect the leadership of United Fund’s board of directors, the strategic execution of the annual campaign by the campaign chair and most importantly the generous support of donors and community partners,” said Christine Flohr, United Fund executive director. Wabash County United Fund focuses community investment efforts around three initiatives in order to generate measurable, lasting impact in Wabash County, financial stability, health and education. Qualified

nonprofit organizations who actively and strategically address one or more of these areas are considered for funding each year. Additionally, it is dedicated to supporting organizations that are able to produce measurable outcomes as a result of the programs and services they offer. The success of the annual campaign determines the amount of community investment United Fund has available to distribute among recipients. Creating collaborative partnerships and generating program awareness are two key factors in running a strong fund raising campaign.

PIZZA & MORE: The interior of the new Harvey Hinklemeyers was designed to follow the franchise’s 70s theme, but much of this location’s individual style comes from owner Diane Hahn. Her brother, Bill Shewman, even designed and painted murals inside the restaurant. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) open our doors and then go from there,” Diane explained. “Based on the community’s reactions thus far we’re expecting to be quite busy –

we’re hoping to be quite busy. We have people stopping by on a daily basis to ask when we’re opening. They’re very anxious and we’ve had a great

response from the community – at times it can be a little overwhelming, but in reality it’s great. “Actually, the whole process from day one

has been great; working with this community has been a very pleasant experience. Personally I’m excited and a bit nervous, but mainly just anxious

Parents, teachers and administrators...continued from front page Attendees were then divided into groups with a facilitator in each group. The groups nominated a recorder to take notes and reporter who would address the assembly after the discussion time to present the comments gathered from the group members. Only comments were shared with the group, questions were submitted to the administration and the answers will be available at the school offices or online. The groups expressed an array of concerns, with a common theme of dislike for the proposed reconfiguration. Some parents were concerned

continued from front page the Title IV-D program, which reimburses counties for expenses incurred from the enforcement of child support payment. County Attorney Steve Downs reported on the status of several ordinances, one of which was the petition to vacate a portion of Blue Star Highway. John Divine, owner of a parcel of land bordering that area of the highway, was present at the meeting to ask for clarification. Downs explained that Divine would acquire the side of the highway that borders his property. That being said, a motion was made and carried to continue with vacating the small portion of Blue Star Highway near the Huntington County line.

about Christmas programs and extracurricular activities. Parents with multiple students were unhappy with the idea of having their children at separate schools, especially in terms of emergency situations when they need to reach their children quickly. Attendees reminded the administration that some parents purchased or built homes in certain areas in order to attend particular schools, and they do not feel they should lose that option. The reconfiguration is proposed to begin with the upcoming 2011-2012 school year. Many parents felt that more time should be taken to explore options. “This has all came

very quickly if it is going to take place in August,” said one parent. “Why haven’t we been able to get together sooner than this to hash things out and possibly come up with a Plan A and Plan B?” Attendees expressed some positive points including expanded options for accelerated or special education students and providing children the opportunity to bond with classmates early therefore making the junior high transition smoother. “Change is kind of like sitting in a bear trap,” Dr. Weaver said. “It hurts when you’re sitting there, but you’re afraid it may hurt more when you move.” One parent summed up the general mood of the attendees by saying,

“We would challenge the administration to prove to the school board and the parents of these students that by executing this reconfiguration there is either a financial or educational benefit. If neither of those can be proven, we have a hard time finding the value in it for us as parents.” Dr. Weaver concluded the meeting by assuring the parents that she and Dr. Dawson would work quickly to answer their lingering questions.

Snow Day impacting an entire day? Well, here’s two more: if and then. Now, I realize they don’t sound as poetic as “snow day”, but believe it or not putting these two words together hours (or minutes) before a decision is made can impact your day more than any kind of weather. You see every choice we make, no matter how big or small has a consequence; if I choose ________ then ________ will happen. Often times when tough choices are made our strong emotions make

it hard to think about what happens then. So, even if snow and day don’t impact your week, I hope that if and then will. “Wise choices will watch over you.

Wabash students travel to Shrine Circus Dear editor, Shrine Wabash Club and North Manchester Erie Shrine Club sponsored all fourth and fifth grade school children of Wabash County to the opening day of the Circus on Jan. 26. Fourthgrade children are usually the ones taken, but due to last year’s ice storm, school was cancelled and so was the Circus trip. This year, all fourth and fifth grade children, approximately 1,000 from Wabash County, were taken to make up for last year’s cancellation. Many teachers and parents accompany the children each year. The schools represented are Wabash City, Sharp Creek, Metro North, L a F o n t a i n e , S o u t h w o o d , E m m a n u e l Christian, Saint Bernard’s Catholic

Church, Vernon Manor and all of North Manchester community schools. Eighteen buses met at the Wabash Police Department and were escorted by Major Randy Miller of the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department. The bus caravan never stopped at any intersection until arriving at the Fort Wayne Coliseum. This means policemen were stationed at Huntington, Roanoke and Fort Wayne intersections to help us complete the trip on time. This was the 65th year for the Shrine Circus. Many parents tell us they remember going to the Circus themselves and now we are taking their children. Many teachers and parents thank us for sponsoring this event. Wabash Shrine Nobles attending the trip were Robert

Wabash County Chamber of Commerce honors York family at inaugural Farm Family award banquet by Brent Swan Despite the ominous threat of an incoming blizzard, friends, family, and supporters of Mark and Chris York came together in full force to support the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce 2010 Farm Family of the Year Award banquet, held Jan. 31, at the Wabash County REMC building. At the banquet, the York family and River Bend Farms were officially honored as the recipients of the award, during a ceremony emceed by Howard Halderman. In his speech, Halderman

thanked the supporters of the new program. “Tonight is a celebration,” Halderman said. “Tonight we’re recognizing our much deserving Farm Family of the Year, Mark and Chris York.” After the introduction, Pastor Kurt Stout of the First Brethren Church delivered the invocation. Banquet attendees then enjoyed a meal catered by Poole’s Meat Market, Wabash, which, in accordance with the theme of the evening, featured a main entrée of smoked pork chops. Following the meal,

guests were treated to the evening’s entertainment, Dr. Tom Turpin Ph.D., of Purdue University, West Lafayette. Turpin, a widely renowned public speaker and “bug man” focused his comical, yet informative look into the “New Good Ol’ Days.” Turpin’s version of the “New Good Ol’ Days” included a look back at his first foray into the entomological field. “My mom still looks back and can remember her version of when she could tell I was going to become a bug man,” Turpin said. “Her version is when I was just a few years old, she remembered that I would go outside and catch bees and bring them back inside the house while carrying them inside my fist. “She said anyone who could carry a bee in their hand without getting stung is sure to become a “bug man” later on in life. “What I hadn’t told her was that it was a pretty simple prank. Male bees don’t have a stinger, only the females do, and you can tell them apart by the way the eyes come together and I could tell them apart.” When summarizing the experiences throughout his own life, Turpin recalled a conversation with his daughter in

2010 WABASH COUNTY FARM FAMILY OF THE YEAR: Wabash County Chamber of Commerce President Kim Pinkerton presented Mark and Chris York with the inaugural award during the Farm Family of the Year award ceremony held Jan. 31. (photo by Brent Swan)

WABASH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE President Kim Pinkerton delivers her remarks during the award ceremony Jan. 31. (photo by Brent Swan) which she asked if he’d rather go back to those good ol’ days. “I told her then that as much as I look back fondly at those good ol’ days, I don’t want to go back,” Turpin explained. “It’s fun to sit here and say you would, but who really wants to go back to the

Mike Pence, and U.S.

Senator Richard Lugar. “We hadn’t seen the video,” Mark York said following the video. “To see that was great, it’s something you never expect to hear.” The family, nominated by their neighbors, Kyle and Jill Jackson, said the thought of a neighbor nominating them for the award made it that much more fulfilling. “We strive to be good neighbors at River Bend Farms,” Mark said. “We build all of our buildings at least a quarter to a half mile off the road, up against woods. The particulates have to go 40 feet up in the air, which decreases the potential odors. “We also don’t spread on weekends; typically families like to be outside on the weekends during the summer. It’s a small choice, but a good one.” After receiving the desk plaque from Wabash County Chamber of Commerce President Kim Pinkerton, the Yorks were presented with a variety of in-kind gifts from area merchants, banks, and cooperatives including free seeds and fuel. “Thank you very much for this prestigious honor,” Mark said. “We really appreciate it. All the work that went into it – I’m not really sure what to say.”

Red Cross expresses particular need for donors with type O-negative blood With this latest round of severe winter storms, the local American Red Cross has been unable to collect over 820 expected pints of blood during the past week. Over 20 blood drives across the 50 county coverage area were forced to be cancelled throughout the week. Further compounding the issue, many Red Cross blood drives across the

country have also been cancelled and the number of blood donations uncollected due to winter storms over the last several weeks rose to 28,000 since Jan. 1. “At any given moment we have patients relying on life-saving blood products. And this need is constant, even in emergency situations,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the Indiana-Ohio Blood

Police warn of lottery scams

“Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to win (insert amount).” Sound too good to be true? It is. “Winning notifications” are mass emailed and mailed to hundreds of thousands of random people every day. These senders aren’t looking to give you money; they’re looking to take yours. The amount that is won is typically under $5,000 with instructions to deposit it and immediately wire a fee to claim the rest of your contest winning. The idea is to convince you that you must pay fees of some kind, usually by wiring a portion to a “processing representative” or “tax authority”. Why that amount? Scammers know federal laws require that deposits under $5,000 be made available within five days. Your account may show that deposit, but the bank is fronting the money until it collects those funds from the check issuer, which can take up to 10 days. When that check comes back bad, you’re on the hook for any money drawn from it. Many of these lott e r y / swe e p s t a ke s senders are from out

$ -10 *,.$ " /& '+

of the United States. Once you wire money to them and it is picked up there is usually no trail to follow. Legitimate lotteries and sweepstakes never ask for money at any time. Call the bank to verify that the account is real and the check is real. Most of these notifications come with misspellings in the body of their letters/emails. You cannot become a lottery winner, if you did not purchase a lotto ticket. Above all, and it bears repeating, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

The festival will be held June 17 and 18. CHICKEN EGGS: GOOD FOR MORE THAN JUST EATIN’: We like having chickens, and can’t imagine not having them around. They’re fun to watch and they keep us in a steady supply of naturally, pre-packaged protein. We use the chicken manure and eggshells as composted fertilizer on the garden. We’ve taken the majority of roosters to the freezer, those eggs make up some pretty tasty dishes, and we sell a few dozen, which helps with the food bill. Yeah, we like the chickens, so much so we may even let a couple go broody and raise a clutch. My boss raises birds, too. Cockatiels, to be exact. And I wanted one. “I’ve got an offer for you,” he said to me one day. “I’ll trade you eggs for the bird.” I now tote cartons of eggs to work in payment of a noisy bird who tries his best to bite me. He’s an entertaining bird, though. And one day he’ll perch on my finger. He just doesn’t know it yet. I’ve enrolled him in daily music lessons. He’s now trying to learn to whistle Zipa-Dee-Doo-Dah but, if you heard him right now, you’d

swear he can’t carry a tune in a bucket. One day, he’ll be worth those bartered eggs. I can feel it. Another co-worker bartered for homemade bread. Before we had she chickens, offered eggs and honey for loaves of her favorite bread. A classic family bartering story is the birth of my uncle during the Great Depression. During this time, bartering was done as a means of survival. While my grandmother was busy giving birth, my grandfather was busy bartering, outside, with the physician. My uncle’s nickname reflects the event perfectly. They call him Cowboy. Bartering has been around for centuries. Its popularity with common folk wavers just as the economic status of the country. Today, people are bringing back the old-age practice and are exchanging items or services in place of money. When money’s short, bartering allows people to get what they want or need without dipping into the evershrinking pocket of change. As I write this article, I received a call from my

cousin. She’s wanting to trade a cast iron Dutch oven for my wood burning chimenea (patio wood burning fireplace). I’d get more use out of the Dutch oven, that’s for sure. My cousin, she’s a quilter. I like quilts. I wonder what else I may have that she might want. I think we may need a few more chickens. ~ Lynnanne YOU HAVE NEWS you’d like to share?

Registrations are being taken by the Wabash Art Guild for a watercolor painting workshop with acclaimed artist Terry Armstrong. Registration and workshop fee need to be turned in by Feb. 25 so we can reserve a spot for you. Come join us for an informative and fun day of painting in watercolors. The public is welcome to attend. Terry Armstrong is a Hoosier-born artist, having spent most of his childhood in Columbia City. He uses the spontaneity of watercolor and the style of realism to capture the true essence of nature. Although many of his paintings focus on the simple life of rural America, his artwork is also representative of the changing seasons and childhood memories. Terry earned degrees in both fine art and commercial art from Indiana University/Purdue University. His work has captured many honors, among which are the People’s Choice Award and Best of Show in numerous art exhibits. He has instructed college art courses and also frequently conducts watercolor technique workshops. Terry recently had an exhibit of his paintings at the Honeywell Center. Please call by Feb. 25 for further information to one of our guild members at 260-563-7690 or 260-352-2561. After we receive your registration and workshop fee we will mail you a photo for transferring to your watercolor paper and a list of materials needed for the workshop. The workshop will be held on March 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wabash Christian Church on the corner of Hill and Miami streets.

AREA LINEUP (Feb. 9 – Feb. 15)

Norse hang on for TRC win over Squires

NORTHFIELD’S Ryan Keaffaber goes up for a shot over the outstretched arm of Manchester’s Scott Baker. Keaffaber led the Norse with nine points in the 44-35 victory. (photo by Karla Coble)

by Eric Christiansen Last week’s blizzard didn’t just wreak havoc on the area, but also minimized practice opportunities for local sports teams. Both Northfield coach Moe Smedley and Manchester coach Aaron Cripe agreed that their teams struggled at times in their TRC match up on Feb. 5. In the end, the Norse overcame a strong start by the Squires to pull out a 44-35 win. “We didn’t practice all week, so we knew it wasn’t going to be pretty,” Smedley said after the game. “We didn’t hit our free throws, which has been a problem all year. We didn’t take care of the ball. Our errors were still too high for this late in the season. We don’t score a lot of points, but we were able to do what we tried to do.” Cripe, while happy with his team’s effort, also felt the lack of practice hurt his team. “(To) those people who say practice isn’t

important, I think we saw tonight how important it is,” he said. “We shot poorly and we gave up too many rebounds. Northfield didn’t shoot well from the free throw line or it would have been an ugly game.” The Squires started off firing on all cylinders. Austin Flack started things off with a steal and lay up 20 seconds into the game, and after a Norse miss, Scott Baker gave the Squires a 5-0 lead on a three-point play. Ryan Givens got the Norse on the board on their next possession, but a three-pointer from Logan Brunn gave the Squires an 82 lead with 3:54 left in the first quarter. Late in the quarter, the Norse appeared to shake off the rust, while the Squires hit an offensive roadblock. Justin Parker answered Brunn with a three-pointer of his own, and a minute later, Givens made it

8-7 with two free throws. Ryan Keaffaber gave the Norse a 9-8 lead with a jumper to end the first quarter. Joe Frieden made it 11-8 in the opening seconds of the second quarter, but Flack tied it up at 11-11 with a three-point play with 5:14 left in the half. With the Norse clinging to a 16-14 lead with just over a minute left in the half, they gave themselves some breathing room heading into the locker room. Dustin Echard hit two free throws with 1:03 left, and on the final possession of the half, Parker scored on an offensive rebound put back with four seconds left to take a 20-14 lead. “Trailing by six should not have happened,” Cripe said. “We have to learn how to finish quarters.” Northfield controlled the pace of the third quarter with their deliberate offense and hardnosed defense. After Flack got a

steal in the early seconds of the half and found Derek Self for a lay up, cutting the lead to 20-16, Chad Glasscock hit a threepointer to make it 2316. Baker hit two free throws, but Givens answered with an inside basket with 3:07 left in the quarter. Self once again was on the receiving end of a Flack steal and assist to cut the lead to 25-20. After a 1-of-2 trip to the line from Echard, Baker cut the lead to four points with an offensive rebound put back. Collin Dawes gave the Norse a 29-22 lead, however, with a threepointer on an inbounds play with under a minute to play in the third. Echard made it 31-22 with a basket early in the fourth quarter and they were able to maintain a nine-point lead with 1:18 left in the game. But the Squires gave it one last push. Flack hit a threepointer, followed by a basket from Brunn to cut the lead to 39-35 with 50 seconds remaining. Frieden was fouled and hit two free throws to make it a 4135 game with 42.5 seconds left. Flack missed a three-pointer with 33 seconds left, and Frieden put the game away with an offensive rebound put back with 20 seconds left. “We did a lot of good things tonight, even though it wasn’t the prettiest out there tonight,” Smedley said. Cripe felt that while his team didn’t play its best, the Norse deserved credit for

how they played. “They do a good job of playing tough defense and taking good shots,” he said, “they are a good team. “We’ll have to go back to the drawing board. I hope we can see them in the sectional. Maybe we can come back and get them.” Northfield didn’t have a player reach double digits in scoring, but Keaffaber led their balanced attack with nine points. Dawes had eight, Parker had seven, Givens and Frieden each had six, Echard had five, and Glasscock had three. For the Squires, Baker led the way with 13, Flack had 11, Brunn had five, Self had four, and Aric Howard had two. The Norse improve to 10-7 overall and 3-3 in the TRC. The Squires drop to 3-11 and 1-5 in conference play.

competition for collections. Mrs. Schenkel’s class won the fourth through sixth grade competition. Each class received doughnuts, orange juice and milk for bringing in the most Box Tops. The money Sharp Creek makes from Box Tops goes into an account that can be used for anything for students – reading incentives, Wildcat Pride drawings / behavior rewards, Destination Imagination, and many other activities / rewards for students. The students and staff are very appreciative for everyone who saves the Box Tops and would like to encourage everyone to continue to save. You do not have to have a student at Sharp Creek to participate. With everyone in the community working together we can help our schools help our youth. SHARP CREEK WILDCAT PRIDE WINNER drawn on Jan. 28 was a lucky day for Renee Rudy as her name was drawn twice! Renee was caught by Mrs. Elliott for sitting quietly in the library

PICTURE: This is a picture taken in the Urbana Community Building on Jan. 30 of members of the St. Peter’s Women’s Guild – Linda Newcomb, Janet Warnock, and Kitty Baer – presenting a skit advertising Heaven Scent Laundry Soap, a detergent made and sold by the Women’s Guild to raise money for their projects. It is an environmentally safe, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, free of dye soap “Handmade with love” by the St. Peter’s United Church of Christ Women’s Guild. Other great things about the soap is that no fabric softener is needed, it is less expensive than commercial brands of soap, it is great for front loading as well as top-loading washers, and the money raised goes to help many others. For more information on price and how to purchase contact Hilda Wilcox (774-3462), Linda Newcomb (774-3011), or call the Yoke Parish Church Office (7743516) and place an order with church secretary Nancy Chamberlain, or leave a message.

Illinois man hurt in snowmobile accident On Jan. 28, at approximately 7:10 p.m., an Illinois man was injured after his snowmobile was struck by a box truck as he attempted to cross U.S. 20 at Quince Road. According to Indiana Conservation Officer Seth Owens, 31-year-old Joseph John Paul Heart, Manattan, Ill., was southbound on Quince Road, attempting to cross U.S. 20, when he was struck by an eastbound 2006 Kenworth box truck driven by Donald R. Rice (age and address unavailable). Witnesses told investigators that the box truck hit Heart and his snowmobile, directly center, dragging him 70 feet down the road and his snowmobile about 390 feet. Witnesses told investigators that Heart’s snowmobile had been experiencing mechanical problems leading investigators to believe that it might be the reason the snowmobile had stopped in the middle of the roadway. Heart was transported to South Bend Memorial Hospital with injuries to the right femur, fractures, missing teeth, and lacerations. His condition is unknown at the time of this release. The following units were on scene: Indiana Conservation Officers, St. Joseph County Police, and St. Joseph County Fire Dept.
