The Paper adds live streaming capability with Wabash WebTV by Ashley Flynn Recently, The Paper of Wabash County launched Wabash WebTV, an online video-streaming site, with the goal of offering live video reporting of area events and happenings. Since its unveiling on Feb. 15 at the Northfield vs. Southwood High School basketball game, Wabash WebTV has broadcast two additional games and will be airing live video from this week’s sectional games at Manchester High School. The addition of Wabash WebTV to The Paper of Wabash County was the culmination of nearly two years of ideas from The Paper staff, including gen-

eral manager Mike Rees and editor Brent Swan. “We had to plan and develop this idea from the ground up,” Swan said. “From determining what internet availability we had, to planning the initial setup for the audio and video, it was something we had to be comfortable with before we made this offering available.” After becoming acquainted with what the setup would entail, Wabash WebTV went live during the Feb. 15 varsity boys basketball matchup between Southwood and Northfield. “We knew going into the game there would be some issues that would arise that we

would need to improve upon,” Swan said. “Overall though, I was more than pleased with how it turned out. We learned then that we needed to increase the video quality, and I believe we did that in time for the next game. This entire production will continue to evolve and will only get better with time.” According to Rees, input from viewership is pivotal to the long-term success of Wabash WebTV. “We hope Wabash WebTV allows people to not only see events live as they happen, but also allow them to become more engaged in our product,” Rees said. “With something like this, we are trying to merge the connection between our printed product and the new generation of internet based publication. We will continue to grow and expand into areas our readers and viewers express an interest in.” One of the keys to the early success of Wabash WebTV has been the strength of the broadcasting team, made up of Bill Barrows, Jim Landrum, Rick Harness, and Tim Harness. “We knew we had to get a good, solid core group of announcers to show viewers that we are taking this endeavor seriously,” operations manager Sam Frieden said. “We feel like we’ve got a tremendous group of four guys that are extremely

knowledgeable about sports and are active in the surrounding community as well.” As time progresses, Wabash WebTV hopes to expand its offerings into areas other than sports, including the possibility of airing area government meetings, church services, and other breaking news from around Wabash County. Along with the launch of Wabash WebTV itself, The Paper of Wabash County has also redesigned its website to accommodate the link to the Wabash WebTV main page. To view the video online, visit The Paper’s homepage at www.thepaperofwabash.com and click on the Wabash WebTV link located on the right hand side of the screen. “All of these changes are allowing us to reach out to readers and viewers from not only the Wabash County area, but across the United States,” advertising director Julie Frieden said. “One of the neat things about Wabash WebTV is that it allows family members from outside the area to see these student athletes live,

when that might not normally have been an option.” Starting Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 6 p.m., Wabash WebTV will air the county matchups in the Class 2A Manchester Sectional, beginning with third matchup between Southwood and Northfield, followed by the Cass versus Wabash game. On Friday, March 1, Wabash WebTV will broadcast the Manchester Squires at 6 p.m., followed by the other semifinal game pitting the winner of the Northfield-Southwood game against the winner of the CassWabash matchup. On Saturday, March 2 at 7:30 p.m., Wabash WebTV will air the sectional championship game. “We couldn’t be happier to bring this to our readers,” Rees said. “I feel like we have a great crew of announcers that will only help to get the word out in a positive fashion. This is something we have wanted to do for quite a while, and we are excited to see it going the way it has.” As basketball season concludes, Wabash WebTV will return to a full broadcasting schedule with the beginning of the 2013 high school baseball season.

State budget bill could ease road-funding crisis for Indiana counties INDIANAPOLISLocal governments would receive some much needed funding for road maintenance and improvement projects in the 2013 state budget, which passed out of Indiana House Ways and Means committee this week. Association of Indiana Counties (AIC) members met with legislators this week to offer their support of the bill during the AIC’s annual legislative conference. Many of their member counties have not been able to fully fund routine maintenance projects, forcing counties to return some roads to gravel,” said AIC President Penny Lukenbill. “This added funding would help counties to begin reclaiming some of the roads that have fallen into severe disrepair as a result of the $800 million per year road funding need.” The Indiana House version of the budget increases road funding overall across the state by $250 million each year of the biennium. Counties would receive $68.15 million, each of the next two years. The House Ways

and Means committee found new funding by redirecting all gas taxes to roads. Current law allows gas taxes to be used to fund a variety of state agencies including Indiana State Police, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and the Department of Revenue. The new formula also redirects 1.5 percent of sales tax money to roads. I n d i a n a Association of C o u n t y Commissioners President Paust said, “We look forward to working with the Senate to continue the discussion on the need for the increase in road funding as proposed by the House.” Road funding is a top priority for counties this session and is critical to economic development. Counties understand that because this is not a complete solution, they must partner with the legislature to fund road projects by continuing with local efforts such as the wheel tax, income tax and gaming revenue. The bill is expected to be heard early next week in the full House for a final reading.

Hunters set record deer harvest in 2012 seasons

Hunters took advantage of new equipment regulations and extra hunting dates to harvest a record 136,248 deer during the 2012 season, according to data the DNR gathered from designated check stations and from a recently implemented online and phone reporting system. The total harvest represented a six percent increase over the 2011 season’s harvest and topped the previous record of 134,004 deer set in 2010. “We started down the path to strategically reduce the deer herd in order to balance the ecological, recreational, and economic needs of all Indiana citizens,” said Mitch Marcus, wildlife chief for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. “To meet that strategy, we initiated several regulation changes to make it easier to take antlerless deer. It appears may be working. “ Key regulation changes implemented in 2012 included making crossbows legal equipment for all licensed hunters during archery season; adding a special late antlerless season in designated counties from Dec. 26 to Jan. 6; extending the urban zone season to run continuously from Sept. 15 to the end of January; and allowing youth hunters in the two-day youth season to take whatever bonus antlerless quota was in the county where they hunted. Archery season also increased by seven days with elimination of the traditional one-

Mary Stephens started her employment on April 29, 1977 and was a Granulated Line Supervisor, completing over 35 years of service. Mary was presented with a Vizio 39 inch HDTV. Director of Manufacturing, Eric Ryder commented, “I am proud of the dedi-

week break between early and late segments. Crossbow hunters took 8,452 deer, or six percent of the overall total. That was an increase from 1,091 deer, or one percent, reported in 2011 when crossbows could be used in early archery season only by persons with a disabilities permit or by any licensed hunter in late archery season. Hunters using archery equipment tagged more deer in 2012 (27,580) than they did in 2011 (26,715) or 2010 (27,186). Youth hunters bagged 3,587 deer, up 55 percent from 2011, and the new special late antlerless season accounted for 10,091 deer. It also was the first year of a license bundle, which allowed the buyer to hunt in all segments of deer season-except in urban zones-for a total of one antlered and two antlerless deer. More than 56,600 license bundles were purchased in 2012, second only to the resident firearm license. “In previous years, five or six at the most, resident license holders accounted for 42 percent of the harvest,” said Chad Stewart, DNR deer management biologist. “This year, resident license holders accounted for 47 percent of total harvest. That’s only a couple percentage points, but to move it even that much is pretty significant. That’s probably attributed to the bundle license. We don’t know that for sure, but that’s where we’re leaning because it’s the one thing in the

rules that only affected resident hunters.” The total harvest was made up of 45,936 antlered deer and 90,312 antlerless deer. The proportion of reported antlered deer in the harvest (34 percent) is the lowest in Indiana’s history while the antlerless total was the highest. “Despite the record harvest, trends within the harvest data showed that deer numbers were down this year,” Marcus said. “The number of antlered deer in the harvest was at its lowest point since 2000, an indicator of a reduced deer herd.” Steward said the antlered deer harvest tracks the total population about as well as anything because there are fewer variables to consider. “ Ye a r - t o - y e a r hunter efforts don’t change much, so people aren’t all of a sudden taking three bucks or eight bucks; they’re locked into one buck,” he said, nothing the one-buck limit in Indiana. “If there are fewer bucks to kill with the same amount of hunter effort, not as many bucks get killed, which tells us the overall population is down.” Additionally, an outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease affected deer in nearly 60 counties. EHD is a viral disease transmitted by biting flies that is often fatal to deer, though some deer will survive illness. “Whether this (population) decline is due to this year’s outbreak of EHD, recent efforts to strategically reduce the deer herd,

or a combination of both factors remains to be seen, but probably varies from county to county,” Marcus said. “As we continue on the path to strategically reduce the deer herd, we will monitor the herd and harvest each year and make adjustments to ensure that hunters will have the opportunity to be successful.” Switzerland County had the highest reported harvest at 3,506 deer, leading the state for the first time

since 2004 and ending a seven-year run by Steuben as the top county. Steuben dropped to fifth with a reported harvest of 3,076 deer, the fewest for that county since 2003. Of the total harvest, 82,151 deer were recorded at check stations, 53,389 online, and 708 by phone.

College student takes God’s word abroad by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com This summer, Kiley Butcher, Wabash, will spend six weeks ministering to college students and doing community service work in South Asia with Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU). Kiley is currently a junior at Ball State University, Muncie. CRU is an international ministry community that works to fulfill the Great Commission, a Scripture in the book of Matthew in which Jesus instructs his disciples to go to all nations and teach them His commands. CRU was founded in 1951 on the UCLA campus, and they have a presence in 191 countries. “I’m really excited to experience an Asian country and especially one that is so different from America. One day a week, we will get to do service work. Half the population of the city we will be in lives in severe poverty and thousands are enslaved to sex trafficking. I am excited to be able to help some

of those people,” Kiley told The Paper of Wabash in an email. While Kiley looks forward to her upcoming trip, she admits that traveling abroad can be a little scary, but mostly just exciting. “It’s a little scary to go places you’ve never been. It’s also uncomfortable at times to share your faith with people,” she said. “Some people are very against God or religion and have very strong opposing feelings. I think that’s what makes it scary, but it’s so rewarding. That outweighs the fear by far.” To anyone considering a similar trip, Kiley encourages everyone to go for it. “Matthew 28:16-20 instructs all God’s people to ‘go and make disciples.’ It’s an instruction, not a suggestion,” Kiley said. “We’re called to tell people about God. Certainly we’re not all called to go overseas, but we can answer that calling by ministering to people in our own towns and by supporting those who are going.”

This will be Kiley’s second mission trip with CRU and her third mission trip altogether. Kiley’s first trip was to France in 2009 with Free Will Baptist International Missions. Before the trip, the group spent a week in Nashville, Tenn., learning about French culture, language, how to interact with people, and how to communicate their faith. “The France trip was much shorter. It was more about encouraging the missionaries who are already doing ministry in France and to give us a taste of what religion looked like in other cultures,” Kiley said. Last summer, Kiley traveled with CRU to Gatlinburg, Tenn., for nine weeks. “I lived in the city with a group of 30 CRU students from all over the county,” she said. “I was actually able to do ministry on my own. I worked in a Mexican Restaurant and we built relationships with our coworkers and were able to share our faith with them.”

Kiley said about 1,000 international students come to Gatlinburg every summer to work, and they held an international party every week to help build relationships and make them feel welcomed. “The Lord really showed me His heart for the nations/world through these trips. When talking to them (international students), I found out that a lot of the Chinese students knew nothing about God at all and had never even heard his name,” Kiley said. “I can’t comprehend that. I feel like most people in America, even if they haven’t grown up in church or aren’t Christian, could tell you about God and maybe even rattle off a few Bible stories, but these students hadn’t even heard His name. That’s the biggest thing I took from that missions trip, a heart

for the nations.” To make this trip possible, Kiley asks for support through prayer and finances. “It is so necessary to have people partnering with me and supporting me in prayer and financially. I wouldn’t be able to go and take God’s good news to the nations if there was no financial support and especially if there was no one praying for me and my team,” Kiley said. “I can’t even express how thankful I am for the people who have been faithful to support me for all my mission trips as well as the people who are continuing to join my team of supporters. Thank you for being obedient to God’s call by helping me go,” she says to all her supporters. Financial supporters can give to Kiley by check made out to “CRU” and then mailed to Kiley Butcher, 330

checks. Currently, only child care licensure applicants are required to undergo these background checks. “Every parent wants their children to be safe while they are away,” Holdman said. “A national criminal history background check is the most comprehensive way to ensure our

THE WABASH CHAPTER WALTON LEAGUE met Monday, Feb. 18, at the Somerset clubhouse. President Benny Ward called the meeting to order at 7:30. There were 25 members and guest in a t t e n d a n c e . Discussion about the May 4 Open House and Rummage Sale was the major topic. It was decided to have the open house and rummage sale from 8 to 2. A youth fishing derby will take place the same day from 12 to 2. There will be two age groups, 5-10 and 11-16. The club will furnish the bait and poles to anyone who doesn’t have one. Prizes for several different categories will also be given. There will be no cost for the fishing derby. The April 20 Youth Cross Shoot will start at 12, for ages 8-16. All youth participating must have an adult accompany them, eye and ear protection are required as well. This will be shotgun only (410, 16, 20, and 12 gauge).

TOWN OF L A F O N TA I N E Council met on Monday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. New business: A citizen is concerned that the Wabash Valley Refuge trash containers are being left out in the street for too long after the Tuesday trash removal. The Town of LaFontaine wants everyone to have his or her trash container

off of the street and put away within 24 hours of Wabash Valley picking up his or her trash. A normal Tuesday trash removal by Wabash Valley would require each citizen to have their containers put away by Wednesday Evening. A citizen is concerned that the recycling area is being used for dumping unwanted trash. The Town of LaFontaine would like to remind the citizens of LaFontaine that the recycling area is to be used for recycling only. Please place recycling items into the correct bins. This is not a place for unwanted trash. A citizen has noticed a pile of rock near the recycling bins. The citizen would like rocks placed around the bins to fill in the mud holes. The council states that Wabash Valley is to maintain the recycling bins and that area. Councilman Gary Henderson will call Wabash Valley and clarify this with them. The 1782 was received from the State for the 2013 budget. The Annual Report and Debt Report for 2012 ware completed. The Town Festival committee is requesting approval for two events during festival: Backyard BBQ- a contest that anyone can enter. The committee would like to have this set up on the streets down town. Ice Cream Social contest- this will be between different church youth

groups. The committee would like to have this at the park. (There will be no rides at the park this year). The town Council sees no problem with either of these two contests. Another committee is considering having a hot air balloon to take kids up in the air during the Town Festival. The Town council states they need to talk to the town’s insurance company first before agreeing to this. Doug Brown from Sonrise communication would like to use the water tower to put up two dishes for wireless Internet service for the customers in LaFontaine. There would be different wireless Internet packages available, should the town choose to allow the company access to the tower. Dennis Jones states that all the equipment up on the tower adds to the cost of the maintenance of tower. The Council decides to table this decision for tonight. There are some individuals throwing eggs at vehicles. There is video surveillance that is being studied to identify the individuals. There have three high water bill adjustments for customers. Water operating revenue for 2012 was $11,667.66 less that in 2011. For a COMPLETE MEETING MINUTES you may pick up a copy at the Town Hall. L A F O N TA I N E C H R I S T I A N CHURCH Member

Ivy Tech receives grant from Dukes Health Care Foundation

The Dukes Health Care Foundation of Miami County announced that Ivy Tech Community College has been awarded a $407,344.00 grant to fund two fulltime nursing faculty positions needed to implement and teach a nursing program at the Peru instructional site beginning fall of 2013. The associate degree program will provide quality, hands-on experience and education for those interested in pursuing a degree as a registered nurse. The grant will be distributed over a threeyear period with Ivy Tech Community College providing support staff, office space and supplies, utilities, and facilities. Dukes Health Care Foundation has supported Ivy Tech’s Peru site through a variety of grants over the years that have helped to secure a

nursing degree program. Through their generous contributions, a new nursing laboratory was created to provide a location for training and education for nursing and allied health students. In addition, to assist in providing hands-on experience needed to elicit the highest quality teaching and learning opportunities; two new patient care simulators were also purchased through the Dukes Health Care Foundation. These manikins provide simulation-based education to challenge and test students’ clinical and decisionmaking skills during realistic patient care scenarios. The simulators include software and interactive, technologically advanced manikins allowing learners to practice the emergency treatment of patients as well as a variety of other patient care scenar-

ios. “Miami County and Ivy Tech Community College have collaborated very successfully to get Ivy Tech Peru from an idea to a functioning community college site in a very short period of time. We are extremely grateful for the generous donation. With the continued support of the Dukes Health Care Foundation, Ivy Tech Peru will now have the ability to provide a nursing program with state-ofthe-art, hands-on training for tomorrow’s health care professionals. We are all aware of the need to provide training for high growth, high demand occupations and those that will provide a living wage as well as opportunities to continue the career ladder toward a better quality of life. This new nursing program will do just that and the cost, compared with the longterm benefit, is very

It encourages a healthy lifestyle through educational opportunities by assisting in the creation of or by supporting health programs that benefit the Miami County populace.

2012 1099 Forms from NRCS Payments to be re-issued The 2012 IRS 1099 forms issued to farmers and ranchers who received NRCS financial assistance are incorrect and scheduled to be reissued by USDA’s Office of the Chief Financial Officer in March. The IRS forms issued in January may either be in the wrong amount or no 1099s were issued when one should have been. Important data to

produce correct 1099 information was left out when a system change took place May 1, 2012, and NRCS financial experts are working with the USDA’s Controller Operations Division to help get the thousands of 1099s to the appropriate people as quickly as possible. At this time there is no guaranteed date by which the 1099s will be delivered, although

they expect to be released March 8. USDA is working to ensure a quick turnaround so that the 1099 mailing is expedited. The Chief Financial Officer will keep NRCS officials informed, as this issue is resolved.

LIFE Center held Thermafiber® employee annual Rally for Life retires with over 42 Years of dedicated service On Jan. 20, the LIFE Center held their annual Rally for Life commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe vs. Wade. 75 people joined the LIFE Center’s staff and board members for their program at the Wabash Middle School auditorium where Dave Koontz from North Central Indiana Right to Life was their guest speaker, followed by their annual walk to Falls Cemetery where they gathered at the memo-

rial for a prayer led by Erin Huiras from Liberty Mills Church of the Brethren. Sometimes they are asked why in the world they would schedule a walk in the middle of winter. The date wasn’t up to them; it was scheduled 40 years ago when the US Supreme Court ruled that any woman could have an abortion on demand. Resulting from this ruling, 3,500 legal abortions are done in the United States every day. The LIFE Center

hosts their Rally for Life in January to remember each and every baby that has been lost to abortion because of the Roe vs. Wade ruling. Their memorial stone that is in Falls Cemetery is also a memorial to those children that have been lost to miscarriages, SIDs and other childhood deaths. The LIFE Center is located at 78 West Hill Street. They are now open on Monday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Wednesday and Friday from 1 to 4 p.m.

Free pregnancy tests are given during those hours without appointment.

Wabash Library to host a visit from Clifford, the Big Red Dog

Clifford, the Big Red Dog will visit Legacy Hall in the Honeywell Center on Tuesday, March 5, at 6:30 p.m. Clifford is celebrating his 50th year in publi-

cation this month; and the author, Norman Bridwell, celebrated his 85th birth-

day on Feb. 15. Clifford has charmed many generations of children

with his stories about kindness and good works, stories about making mistakes and being forgiven for them, and stories about unconditional love. The program is being offered by the Wabash Carnegie Public Library Youth Services and will include a puppet play given by the youth services staff.

Children and their parents are invited to meet Clifford, make a set of Clifford ears, and be photographed with the book character. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras. At the conclusion of the program, each child will be invited to select a Clifford book and a red balloon to take home. Norman Bridwell

grew up and attended school in Kokomo. Bridwell remembers that he always had the love of drawing, but that his art teacher didn’t consider his art very good. After graduation from high school, he attended the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis, and then the Cooper Union Art School in

New York City. After working in a variety of commercial art positions, Bridwell decided to create several samples of his artwork to show to children’s book editors. One of the samples was a picture of a little girl standing under the chin of a big red dog. His work was rejected by 15 publishers, but one

suggested that he try writing a story about the little girl with the big red dog. He wrote and illustrated that story the next weekend, and it was soon accepted by Scholastic publishing. Since 1963, more than 126 million Clifford books have been printed in 13 languages, and an animated Clifford TV

series is in its 12th season on PBS Kids. Clifford also has a line of toys and party products. Today, Mr. Bridwell lives with his wife of 54 years in Massachusetts on Martha’s Vineyard in a 120-year-old farmhouse. The doors and shutters are painted red in honor of Clifford.

2013 brings exciting changes for Habitat for Humanity

Wabash County Habitat for Humanity ushered in 2013 with some exciting changes. The Board of Directors made the decision that in order to achieve their goals and increase Habitat’s impact they would need to hire a staff person to run the dayto-day operations and grow their organization. The organization has been run entirely by an all-volunteer Board of Directors for the past 21 years. During that time, Habitat has worked with volunteers, donors, churches, businesses and the local government throughout Wabash County to build 15 affordable homes located in LaFontaine, North Manchester, Roann, Servia and Wabash. After a diligent recruitment process, the Board of Directors is pleased to announce that they have hired Steve Miller as the affiliate’s first Executive Director. Steve has a degree in Social Work from M a n c h e s t e r University. He brings the experience of working with the homeless and families in housing crisis. He was a past Executive Director of Huntington County Habitat for Humanity, served on the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity of Indiana, the statewide support organization and most recently was the Director of Development and Communications for

the YWCA Northeast Indiana. Miller said, “I am excited to be part of

building on the strong legacy of this Habitat affiliate and helping the Board achieve

their goal of work in partnership with our community to address the problem of sub-

standard and poverty housing here in Wabash and across the globe. This step is the most difficult and exciting growth stage a Habitat for Humanity goes through.” While busy with setting up a physical office and all the associated amenities, Miller and the board are preparing for the upcoming spring 2013 build project. This will be another first for the Wabash Habitat. The rehabilitation of an existing house in the City of Wabash is set to being in March. The Habitat office is

located at 3563 S. State Rd. 13, Suite 101, Wabash, and the Wabash Friends Church is providing it. If you would like more information about Habit for Humanity, how to become a Habitat partner homeowner,

Knights win season finale over Bluffton

by Gary Andrews The Southwood boys basketball team is getting hot at the right time, as they took on the Bluffton Tigers, Friday in their final regular season game, leading at every stop and topping Bluffton 54-52. With Bluffton keying on Shane Smith early, junior Corey Phillipy would lead the first quarters offense for the Knights. Southwood took off to a 4-0 start on buckets from Phillipy and Jackson Blair before the powerful Tigers would come back to tie the score. Phillipy would hit again to give Southwood the lead back and was followed by a bucket from Robbie Cole to lead 8-4 with 3:00 to go. After two Bluffton free throws, senior Levi Sutton would hit with Phillipy draining his third bucket of the quarter and the Knights led 12-7. Bluffton would score the last four points of the quarter and the Knights led 12-11 after one. Bluffton would hit the first bucket of the second quarter to get their first lead of the night when Ross Phillipy would score on an offensive rebound and was followed by brother Corey with a bucket to lead 16-13. Back came the Tigers, who would go on a 72 run to take a 20-18 lead with 3:00 left on the clock when Nathan Hollars knotted the

score with a bucket. Bluffton would lead 25-22 with 1:47 left when the Knights would make one more push. Corey Phillipy and Shane Smith hit before Phillipy converted a threepoint play to put Southwood up 29-25 before Bluffton scored the final bucket of the half and Southwood led 29-27. With Phillipy scoring at will, Bluffton couldn’t key on Shane Smith anymore and Smith would give Southwood a four point lead to start the third quarter before the Tigers hit back to back three’s to lead the Knights 33-31. Back came Corey Phillipy with two buckets to give the Knights the lead and Bluffton answered. Tied at 35 the Knights would make a run. Shane Smith converted a three point play, followed by a Levi Sutton steal for a bucket, plus another Smith bucket to lead 42-35. Bluffton would stop the run with a three that was answered by a Jackson Blair bucket. The Tigers would then score five straight to cut the Knight lead to 44-43 when Blair hit with .03 left to give Southwood a 46-43 lead with a quarter to go. Neither team could find the bucket to start the fourth quarter as Shane Smith finally broke the stale mate at 5:03 and was followed by another Sutton steal for

a bucket to put the Knights up 50-43. Bluffton would not go away. The Tigers cut the Knight lead to 50-47 with 2:43 left. The Knights worked the clock with Smith scoring with 1:26 remaining to lead 52-47. With not many fouls being called, Bluffton had the problem of needing to foul to get the ball back and needed to do it four times just to make the Knights shoot free throws. On Southwood’s third possession during the fouling spree, Shane Smith found Corey Phillipy for a back door lay-up that iced the game. Southwood led 54-47 with .21 left and led 54-49 when Bluffton hit a three pointer at the buzzer for the 54-52 final score. Leading Southwood was Corey Phillipy with 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. Shane Smith added 15 points, 5 assists. Jackson Blair had 8 points, 3 steals. Levi Sutton had 6 points, 7 assists, and 4 steals. Nathan Hollars had 2 points, 3 assists and 5 steals. Robbie Cole and Ross Phillipy had 2 points each. The junior varsity team fell to Bluffton 43-36. Noah Kirk led the Knights in scoring with 15 points. Jacob Lloyd added 7, Luke Elliot 6, Alex Harmon 6, Logan Paris 2. Elliot had 7 rebounds, 4 steals. Lloyd had 5 rebounds and Paris 4 assists.

Apaches stumble in regular season final by Gary Andrews The Wabash boys basketball team stumbled in their final regular season game Friday, falling to Elwood 78-71. Elwood got off to a hot start at Wabash jumping out to a 14-7 lead before the Apaches calmed the storm. A bucket from Breyton Nealis and a three from Tyler King got Wabash to within 17-13 before Elwood scored the final bucket of the quarter to lead 19-13 after one. The Wabash offense turned it up a notch in the second quarter, scoring 21 points as they got out scored Elwood 21-17 to cut the gap to 36-34 by the half. Andrew Adamson led the charge. The Apaches tied the game to start the third quarter and were down one after a Tyler Brewer

bucket when they took their first lead on back to back three pointers from Adamson and Tyler King to lead 45-43. Elwood tied the game again before another Apache four point surge. Breyton Nealis and Tyler King hit to put Wabash up 49-45 before Elwood came storming back to score six straight to lead 51-49. With Wabash up one, Elwood drained a three pointer with .03 on the clock to lead the Apaches 54-52 with a quarter to go. With Elwood playing the same style of ball Wabash does, the tide can turn at any time. In an up and down, fast and furious tempo Elwood out scored the Apaches 24-19 in the final quarter to top Wabash 78-71. Leading Wabash was Andrew

Adamson with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Tyler Brewer added 13 points, 3 rebounds. Breyton Nealis had 12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Tyler King had 8 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist. Grant Sailors had 8 points, 5 rebounds. Jordan Blair had 7 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block. Taylor Vigar had 4 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals. Mike Jones had 3 points, 7 rebounds and 1 steal. Cody King had 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal. The Wabash junior varsity topped Elwood 40-36 to end their season with a 13-7 record. Christian Hall led with 22 points. Chase Dirig added 12 points. Tyler Hough led in rebounding with 7.

by Gary Andrews The Manchester boys basketball team went on the road and fell to Garrett 62-45 Friday. The Squires were within striking distance the first half before a disastrous third quarter blemished their hopes. Manchester trailed just 17-11 after one. Chase Fierstos, Claudell Dickantone, Clayton Petrie and Neil Underwood all had buckets, with Underwood leading the way with 4 points. The pace picked up in the second quarter with the two teams combining for 38 points. Garrett

won the quarter 20-18 and led 3729 at the half. The Squires scored five buckets in the quarter with Dickantone hitting a three and freshman Derek Flack getting in on the scoring with a bucket. Neil Underwood would lead the Squires in the quarter, scoring 7 points, hitting 5 free throws. As hot as both teams were in the second quarter, it was just the opposite in the third. Manchester held Garrett to just 6 points, but scored just 4 of their own. Dickantone and Petri each

website: The buildings which hold Harvey’s on Main Street were once the site of two of the area’s finest theaters. The Marshall and The Ritz. The Marshall was located in the west side of the store and The Ritz was located on the east side. While both theaters were in operation The Marshall featured action pictures such as cowboy and detective movies and The Ritz featured the popular feature movies of the day. It was not uncommon to find a mother in The Ritz and their kids in the Marshall. PARTING SHOTS: “Sometimes when I

get up in the morning, I feel very peculiar. I feel like I’ve just got to bite a cat! I feel like if I don’t bite a cat before sundown, I’ll go crazy! But then I just take a deep breath and forget about it. That’s what is known as real maturity” Snoopy.

Historical Society to present “The Chautauqua Movement and Frank Beard”

On Monday, March 11, the North Manchester Historical Society hosts Manchester University Professor Thelma Rohrer, who will present a PowerPoint program on the Chautauqua movement in the United States, and the contributions to that movement by artist and minister Frank Beard. The program will take place in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Senior Living Community at 6:40 p.m. Are you curious about that strange name, Chautauqua? Chautauqua began as an educational summer camp for families on the shores of Chautauqua Lake in western New York State. Originally set up as a vacation learning experience for Sunday Schoolteachers, the gatherings grew rapidly in popularity and soon included lectures, music, physical education, politics and current events as well as preaching and worship. “Tent” or “circuit” Chautauquas traveled throughout the United States and several hundred “ d a u g h t e r Chautauquas” were set up in communities throughout the U.S. The most distinguished speakers and lecturers of the time toured with the move-

ment. One popular speaker was Frank Beard, famous for his educational Chalk Talks. The Chautauqua Institution continues today, where about 7,500 people attend daily, and over 140,000 visitors benefit from their 9-week summer program. The origins of popular programs such as Elderhostel and Road Scholars can be traced to the Chautauqua movement. Professor Rohrer is Chair of the Department of Art at Manchester University, Director of the Honors Program, and Director of International Studies and Academic Enrichment. She has an extensive list of research and teaching experiences. Rohrer is in charge of study abroad opportunities and encourages students to “Study art. Explore the

world!” She became interested in Chautauqua while writing about the artist Frank Beard for the American National Biography and the Ohio Artists Project, which led her to research sites including Chautauqua, NY. The public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6

She was in the Lutheran NICU for seven weeks. She had some complications but came home fine and is a healthy five-year-old now. We never expected anything like that to happen with this pregnancy. Everything seemed to be going well. I was keeping an eye on everything and so was my doctor. He was wonderful and always took any concerns I had to heart.” “I didn’t start feeling like something was wrong until

BABY MILO IN THE HOSPITAL in October 2012 after being born five weeks early. around six months. I was always in a lot of pain. My blood pressure started going up slowly. It didn’t concern me until one night I felt extra swollen. I checked the monitor I had at home and it was in the high one hundreds. We called the doctor on call and he suggested I get checked out, so we went to the hospital and stayed until they got my blood pressure back down. I had an appointment with my OB that week

and as soon as I walked in, he knew something was wrong.” “I was exactly 35 weeks pregnant. My blood pressure was high and I had protein in my urine- which were both signs of preeclampsia. So back in the hospital I went. They monitored me over night and there was no change by the next afternoon so the doctor called the surgery team in for a Csection. Milo was born at 5:48 p.m. on

Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012 at 5.5 lbs and 19 inches long. A perfect little baby boy. We didn’t think he would have any problems being born at 35 weeks.” “We were wrong. His lungs were underdeveloped and he couldn’t breathe on his own. After a day in the nursery he had to be transported to Parkview Hospital in Ft Wayne. I was still in the hospital at Huntington Parkview. They release me the (continued on page 25)

next afternoon. When my husband and I arrived at the NICU, Milo’s doctors informed us he would have to be put on a ventilator because his lungs were so exhausted. Milo remained on the ventilator for a few days before he was reduced to a CPAP. After a few more days on the CPAP he was able to be put on a high dose oxygen canula.” “It was up and down from there. He would make progress so they would lower his oxygen but by the end of the night they would have to raise it back up. It went on like that for about two weeks before he finally was able to be off the oxygen. He had to be off oxygen completely for 48 hours before he could go home. The first time they took him off he made it almost a full 24hours, but had to be put back on. His lungs were not ready yet. A couple days later we tried again and he did great. We were able to do without the rest of the newborn screens and come home. He’s four months old now and has no lung issues at all.” “Milo is healthy and doing great. We couldn’t be happier with both of our preemie babies.” If you would like to start a team, volunteer or ask a question, please contact Pat Vanlandingham at 260-563-3476 or pjvan1505@cinergymetro.net.

Drought impacts U.S. soybean quality results ST. LOUIS (Feb. 19) – According to a recent soy-check off-funded study, the overall oil levels in last year’s

U.S. soybean crop increased over the previous year, while average protein fell. United Soybean Board

(USB) Customer Focus Action Team Chair Sharon Covert says U.S. soy’s biggest users pay attention to those results. “The oil and protein levels in our soybeans are very important to our customers,” says Covert, a soybean farmer from Tiskilwa,

Ill. “We should take every possible course of action to improve our soy oil and meal, which will help us protect and expand our markets.” The results of the soy check off ’s annual U.S. Soybean Quality Survey found the oil level in the overall

professor at the University of Minnesota. “Last year, the drought offered different regions differently, so we weren’t exactly sure how quality would play out. Overall, I think we’re happy that quality was as good as it was.” Beginning with the 2013 crop, the check off will be implementing a new program to monitor weather conditions in soybean test plots and correlate that information with quality outcomes and variety performance.

U.S. soybean crop rose by 0.3 point to 18.5 percent last year. And protein dropped a half-point to 34.3 percent. But for a crop baked by drought conditions for much of the year, that’s pretty good, says scientist in charge of the research. Seth Naeve, Ph. D., who conducts the study, says the drought likely had a hand in holding protein levels down. “Weather has a dramatic impact on soybean quality,” says Naeve, an associate

plement the Soybean Quality Survey. The check off uses the survey to give buyers a preview of protein and oil levels. Naeve says he recently joined the U.S. Soybean Export Council in presenting the results to buyers in Asia, who want to know what U.S. farmers are doing to improve quality longterm. Animal agriculture consumes nearly 98 percent of U.S. soy meal, feeding the protein-rich meal to poultry, swine, fish and other animals. The food industry, which uses nearly 70 percent of soy oil, depends on an abundant supply of healthy and functional oil to use as frying oil or as an ingredient in many food products. Naeve says variety selection is a farmer’s best tool to improve soybean quality-even during a drought. “In general, the highest-protein varieties tend to be higher-protein in most environments,” he says. The 69 farmerdirectors of USB oversee the investments of the soy check off to maximize profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. These volunteers invest and leverage check off funds to increase the value of U.S. soy meal and oil, to ensure U.S. soybean farmers and their customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and to meet the needs of the U.S. soy’s customers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy check off.

the success of these Learn More Center students will be held on March 23, at the Wabash Alliance Church. In June of 2012, the Learn More Center was offered a $30,000 matching challenge grant for the fifth year by an anonymous donor, with all gifts being matched $1 for $1 through December 31, 2012. What was unique about this years’ grant, was a portion of the gifts were to come from new donors. While just $1,000 shy of meeting that goal, the campaign as a whole raised over $37,000. The Community Foundation of Wabash County administers the grant. The Learn More Center is honored to receive this grant, which will help raise support and awareness for the Learn More Center’s mission of adult basic education in Wabash County. “We are so grateful and appreciative to live in such a generous and giving community,” said Learn More Center Director of Education Cynthia Johnson. “We truly could not do it without their support.” The Learn More Center was founded by the Community Foundation of Wabash County and funded by the Lilly E n d o w m e n t Community Alliance to Promote Education (CAPE) Grant in order to provide educational services and a learning community to meet the instructional needs of adults learners in Wabash County related to workforce readiness, adult basic education, and literacy. The center is nationally accredited by ProLiteracy and provides free, confidential adult literacy programs and services, including Pre-GED and GED instruction, adult basic education, computer literacy, English as a Second Language, post-secondary transitioning and tutoring, and job skills training. The Learn More Center is located at the Town Life Center in North Manchester and at Wabash Alliance Church in Wabash. For hours and more information, call 982-6138 or visit www.learnmorecenter.org. Services are confidential and are no cost to students.
