Bowmans honored as 2012 Wabash County Farm Family of the Year

INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Kevin’s sons, Kyle and Evan, have both joined the farm, while Dan’s son, Michael, a junior at Southwood High School, will have the same opportunity. “Seeing that new generation come in and choosing to farm has, in a sense, reenergized my interest as well. It’s their choice and this is just one opportunity they have; but to see them choose to come back has been fulfilling,” Kevin said. In order to preserve the opportunity for the future generation

by Brent Swan On Feb. 17, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce president Kimberly Pinkerton along with Ag Committee Chairman Howard Halderman, announced the selection of Bowman Farms as the 2012 Wabash County Farm Family of the Year. The farm, currently operated by brothers Kevin and Dan Bowman, consists of row crop farming encompassing over 3,500 acres of each soybeans and corn. The farm was started in 1890 by Riley Bowman, Kevin and Dan’s great-grandfather, who moved to the Wabash area with a mud boat. Riley’s

grandson, Charles, took over at the age of 24 after his father, Walter, passed away unexpectedly in 1951. Charles and his wife, Norma Jean, Kevin and Dan’s parents, have lived in Riley’s house for the past 62 years. Over that time, Bowman Farms has grown from its modest beginning to the versatile business it is today. Despite market swings throughout years past, Bowman Farms has remained strong due to a forward-looking business concept. “One of our strengths, and I think it comes from our father, is that we don’t look at just today or

of Bowmans, the elder Bowmans have implemented sound conservation practices, one of the nominating criteria set forth by the Chamber’s agriculture committee. “I think sometimes there’s a misconception that we’re looked at more industrially – that we’re going to take something, use it for a short period of time and then leave it like that,” Kevin explained. “Some of the ground we farm has been in the family name for over a hundred years now. It’s very important we take that long-term approach with the next generation getting ready to come on board.” “The way we treat the ground directly impacts our income, so as farmers you have to recognize the importance of proper land conservation,” Dan said. Two methods of

conservation currently utilized by the Bowmans is the use of strategically placed waterways and terraces. “Lately I’ve become fond of terracing, and we try to utilize local technical assistance from the NRCS office,” Kevin said. “Relationships between landowners and us as farmers are probably more important now than they ever have been.” As land values have increased, more pressure has been put on large farming operations to not only find rentable ground, but also be able to keep existing ground within their farm; something the Bowmans have remained cognizant of. “We’ve tried to build a decent ownership base so we can plan further down the road and not so much on a year to year basis,” Kevin said of

Hands of Hope Advisory Council sets plans for Second Annual In Loving Memory Cruise In

The Hands of Hope Advisory Council met on Feb. 15 to discuss plans to coordinate with the Hines family to host a smoked tenderloin dinner as part of the Second Annual In Loving Memory Cruise In, set to be held June 30, 3-8 p.m., at Wabash Municipal Airport. The event on June 30 is the family’s way to keep the memory alive of their loved ones, Amanda and Sherry Hines, who were tragically killed in their home in June

2009 due to domestic violence. Sandra and Frank Hines attended the advisory council meeting and told council members that the Hines family would like to donate all of the proceeds from the second annual cruise in to Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc. Currently, any money raised for Hands of Hope is eligible for a Lutheran Foundation matching grant, which would result in

Hands of Hope receiving up to an additional $10,000 for program services. The mission of Hands of Hope is to break the cycle of domestic violence through prevention and intervention strategies. The motorcycle and car cruise in event will be accompanied this year b y the smoked tenderloin dinner cooked by Tim Roberts. Tickets will go on sale sometime closer to the vent for $7 and will include a

smoked tenderloin sandwich, chips and a soda. Additional sandwiches will be available for $6, chips for $1 and sodas for $1. The cruise in will include a silent auction, merchandise sales, dunk tank, free face painting, DJ and hula-hoop contest. For more information about the cruise in, contact Jon Hines at 260-377-0488. The Hands of Hope Advisory Council will continue to work with the Hines family on the details of this

event. The next meeting for the advisory council will be from noon to 1 p.m. on March 14 at the Hands of Hope Office. If you are interested in assisting with this important event, please call Linda Wilk, Hands of Hope director, at 765-6629971 Ext. 123 or e-mail her at lwilk@famservices.com.

World Report’s annual Best Long Term Care Facilities, released recently. U.S. News’s Best Long Term Care Facilities recognizes top-rated homes in all 50 states and offers important guidance to families and healthcare providers caring for people in need of long-term care. “More than 3 million Americans will spend part of 2012 in a nursing home, and trying to decide under pressure which one is best isn’t easy,” says Avery Comarow, Health Rankings editor. “Top-rated nursing homes are worth considering and deserve special recognition.” U.S. News’s evaluation of long term facilities is based on data from Nursing Home Compare, a consumer website run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The government agency sets and enforces standards for long-term care facilities (defined as facilities or portions of facilities enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid that provide 24-hour nursing care and other medical services). Homes earn an overall rating of one to five stars, as well as up to five stars in each of three underlying

categories: health inspections, nurse staffing, and quality of care. U.S. News updates each nursing home’s ratings data quarterly. Of more than 15,500 homes rated and profiled on the U.S. News website, Timbercrest Senior Living was among the fewer than 1 in 8 that received a five-star overall rat-

ing in all four quarters of 2011. “Timbercrest is proud to receive this recognition once again. We strive to provide the best possible care for all of our residents and are pleased to see that we are meeting that benchmark,” says Danielle Fox, community relations for Timbercrest.

Using the search tools available at http://health.usnews. com/senior-housing, consumers can identify homes in their state, city or ZIP code, tailor their search to see only non-profit homes or those that accept Medicaid insurance, or in other ways find the best fit.

Wabash students to perform with legendary rock group CD and raffle ticket sales at concert to benefit Educational Outreach program by Danielle Swan DSmith@thepaperofwabash.com On Feb. 23 at 7:30 p.m., the Honeywell Center will welcome the rock group, Foreigner, for their Feels Like the First Time 2012 Tour. During the concert, local Wabash High School students in the Symphonic Voices and Debonairs show choirs will take the stage to perform “I Want To Know What Love Is” alongside the legendary group. Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world, racking up scores of hits, multi-platinum albums, and sold out concerts over its nearly four decade career. Foreigner 4 spent more weeks on the Billboard chart at #1 than any album by AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, U2, The Who or The Rolling Stones, and

any artist in Atlantic Records’ 60-year history. The band is consistently in the Top 15 at Classic Rock Radio. Their hit single, “Waiting For A Girl Like You”, was #2 on the singles chart for a total of 14 weeks, which is a record in the history of Billboard magazine. It helped drive Foreigner to #49 on Billboard’s Hot 100 All Time Top Artists Chart. To put that in perspective, The Eagles are #54, Fleetwood Mac are #73 and Aerosmith are #90. The Feels Like the First Time 2012 Tour will feature hits like “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero,” “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” and “Waiting For A Girl Like You,” performed by Kelly Hansen, Jeff Pilson, Bruce Watson, Tom Gimbel, Michael Bluestein, and Mark Shulman. “Teresa Galley first approached me when

she was asked about who might be able to sing with them,” said Wabash High School Choir Director Susan Keefer. “We jumped on the opportunity, of course!” The choir was told to listen to Foreigner’s CD of the song they were set to perform. Keefer also located YouTube videos of similar performances where high school choirs performed with the group. “Students like this type of music and many of them knew the song already. They like a lot of the music that has been ‘remixed’ from former decades,” Keefer said. The students, who assembled on Feb. 13 for an evening rehearsal, agreed that they look forward to the performance. “I look forward to the excitement of the moment when they will enter onto the stage with the group and sing with them,”

Keefer said. “It will be a ‘WOW!’ moment.” Other students of Keefer’s had a similar opportunity a few years ago when they performed onstage with Kenny Rogers. “We did some backup vocals and had to work hard to learn the arrangement of music that was sent to us. This show is much more informal,” she said. In the lobby, before and after the concert, the choir students will be selling Foreigner CDs and raffle tickets to win an autographed guitar from the group. A portion of the proceeds from these sales will benefit the Honeywell Center’s E d u c a t i o n a l Outreach Program, which provides unique learning experiences for students at low or no cost. “The Honeywell Center and their Outreach Program has done a great job of trying to give us

Each time you

complete a project you get bolder, and that’s evident with the grain storage and handling project we’ve completed over the past six years.” “The biggest benefit we get from that kind of work is that we gain a better understanding of how it functions,” Kevin said. “Since we did the work, we know how it works and how to better repair it if it

requires additional work down the road. We’ve found that sometimes you get better results if you take ownership of it.” That feeling of ownership has kept things in perspective for the Bowmans. “Just last week my dad shared with us the last time he worked with his father was on Valentine’s Day in 1951,” Dan recalled. “He wanted to go

Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center receives Programs of Excellence Award from the National Council on Aging

Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center, Wabash, has received an award from The National Council on Aging (NCOA) for its C o m m u n i t y Cupboard Food Pantry program. The award was presented as part of NCOA’s National Institute of Senior Centers’ 2011 Programs of Excellence. The Community Cupboard Food Pantry program meets a dual need in Wabash County. The first need is for supplemental food for a growing number of families in Wabash County. To achieve this the program, located in the Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center, distributes government commodities using local contributions for the local matching portion and closely partners with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana

to make the most of available regional, state and federal resources. In doing so, the Community Cupboard Food Pantry’s forty volunteers distributed 247,556 pounds of food at an average of eleven cents per pound, to help combat hunger insecurity in Wabash County for 600 to 700 households per month. A total of 4,989 unduplicated people of all ages received food from the income-based pantry in 2011. Over the last nine years, the pantry program has grown from serving 50 to 75 households per month to close to 700 per month. The second need that the pantry program meets is for purposeful volunteer opportunities, which make the most of the time and talents of retirees who want to give of themselves in their retirement years. This senior

center program enables senior volunteers to empower vulnerable individuals of all ages to live healthier lives. The C o m m u n i t y Cupboard has forty volunteers who do everything from ordering the food, to stocking the pantry shelves, to warehouse receiving to assisting pantry clients and is part of an extensive volunteer program which involved 210 volunteers in 2011 in a variety of self-directed senior leadership teams of the Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center. The Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center is a member of the National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC), a program committed to supporting and strengthening the nation’s 11,000 senior centers. NISC offers best practices, professional development, advocacy, research, and nation-

Mild winter likely to increase insect, weed pressures

Crop pests may be more abundant in Indiana farm fields this spring because of what continues to be a mild winter. Some species of insects and weeds may have benefited from the warmerthan-normal temperatures and lack of snowfall in the state, two Purdue Extension specialists say. “We have two groups of insects in Indiana - those that migrate here and those that overwinter here,” said entomologist Christian Krupke. “Those that overwinter here as adults, above or close to ground level, have had a particularly favorable winter so far.” Some of those insects are corn flea beetles, alfalfa weevils and bean leaf beetles. “Last fall, we had our highest population of bean leaf beetle in quite some time. Because there should be good overwintering survival, I think we could see high spring populations this year, as well,” Krupke said.

The good news for farmers is that virtually all corn and most soybean seed is treated with insecticide, so any protection available is already on the seed. According to Krupke, that means there is little more for growers to do at this point. Because seed treatments vary in the amount of protection they provide against different pests, Krupke said producers need to keep an eye on their crops as the growing season progresses and apply any necessary foliar insecticide treatments if feeding is severe. Weeds, on the other hand, could be a more visible problem for grain farmers this spring. Indiana has had enough warm days for winter annuals to germinate, said weed scientist Bill Johnson. Although those weeds go dormant in below-freezing temperatures, warm weather promotes their growth. “When winter annuals have had a lot of growth, soils dry and warm more slow-

ly in the spring because of the weed cover,” Johnson said. “It’s much harder for farmers to get sprayers out for burndown treatments on cold, wet soils.” A delay in burndown can lead to a delay in planting, but spraying on wet soils can result in ruts. If weeds aren’t treated early enough in the spring, they may become too large to control with herbicides. Some of the weeds most likely to cause problems are henbit, chickweed, purple deadnettle, marestail, annual bluegrass, Carolina foxtail and downy brome. “Growers need to assess weed size, and if the fields are dry enough in March, they need to get burndown treatments and residual herbicides on their fields earlier than normal,” Johnson said. He recommended glyphosateor g ramoxone-based burndown treatments with residual herbicides added to them. As planting season approaches, both

al standards and accreditation. “Senior centers play a vital role in helping older adults to stay healthy and connected to their community,” said Jim Firman, president and CEO of NCOA. “We congratulate the Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center on its innovative programs for older adults which can serve as a nationwide model to assist seniors across the country.” “We are deeply honored to be recognized with this Program of Excellence Award 2011 Leadership, Civic Engagement and C o m m u n i t y Development. Some seniors want to play euchre while others prefer to volunteer. We see it as a trend that younger retirees seek opportunities to use their lifetime of experience to help

others. The Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center gives them an opportunity to do so, often creating a new volunteer team to meet a local need seen by the seniors themselves,” said Beverly Ferry, CEO of Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc., which operates the Dallas L. Winchester

Senior Center, Wabash. The Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center has a team of volunteers who bake cookies once a week for the local teen center and another team which makes Grandma’s Fudge which is sold at local stores in Wabash County as well on the

agency’s website. Another team distributes tons of food through a monthly food distribution, which is in addition to the food pantry. The Dallas L. Winchester Senior Center is operated by Living Well in Wabash County CoA, Inc., a Wabash County United Fund agency.

Watershed landowners share growing success of Eel River Watershed Initiative

Landowner costsharing programs and their pollution-reduction results, pending dam removals and more grants are on the agenda of the 2012 annual meeting of the Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative. The free, public meeting begins at 6 p.m. on Feb. 28 in Flory Auditorium on the second floor of the Science Center of Manchester College, North Manchester. The Initiative is entering its fourth year of its mission of “protecting and enhancing

the water resources of the Middle Eel River Watershed through education and implementation of soil and water conservation practices.” The annual meeting is of special interest to conservationists, farmers, landowners, birders, anglers and others who use the 30-mile stretch of the Eel River between North Manchester and Mexico, or care about its water quality. “Area residents’ questions, comments and concerns are very important to the

Initiative, so we hope all concerned citizens will join us,” said Terri Michaelis, watershed coordinator for the Initiative. Success in obtaining grants totaling more than $212,000 from federal and state agencies has resulted in completion of 10 soil and water conversation projects with five more pending. The projects range from cover crops to fencing livestock from streams to no-till modifications, nutrient management and grassed waterways impacting more than

2,350 acres. “We are inviting our cost-share participants to the annual meeting so we can recognize their efforts in the watershed,” she added. Initiative agencies and scientists estimate the practices are annually reducing suspended solids in the watershed by more than 2,200 tons, nitrogen by more than 8,860 pounds and phosphorous by more than 3,000 pounds. “We are very excited about the progress we have made this past year in the Middle Eel

River Watershed and we look to more and greater opportunities in the near future,” said Michaelis. Manchester College leads the Middle Eel River Watershed I n i t i a t i v e , http://www.manchester.edu/eelriverinitiative/index.htm, collaborating with Wabash, Kosciusko and Miami county agencies, organizations, landowners and others.

Gary G. Treska March 5, 1952 - February 24, 2011 Someone asked me about you today. It's been so long since anyone has done that. It felt so good to talk about you, to share my memories of you, to simply say your name out loud. She asked me if I minded talking about what happened to you — or would it be too painful to speak of it. I told her I think of it every day and speaking about it helps me to release the tormented thoughts whirling around in my head. She said she never realized the pain would last this long. She apologized for not asking sooner. I told her, "Thanks for asking." I don't know if it was curiosity or concern that made her ask, But told her, "Please do it again sometime — soon."

Love you and miss you, your wife, Dollie

I DON’T KNOW IF YOU’VE NOTICED, but the days are getting longer. So far, this winter hasn’t been too bad but I’m so ready for spring, and any indication that it’s coming I’ll take. MONSTER OR MYTH?

brush. During the 1880’s and 90’s, there were many snake stories. The most curious story occurred near Laketon, first in 1880 and again in 1885. Fifty people were fishing and picnicking on the banks of Round Lake on a pleasant day in August of 1880. At first, a dark object was spotted basking itself in the sun, apparently unconscious. The noise created by the crowd frightened the creature and it took flight. The head of the monster was the size of a queensware crate only much larger. It had a hooked bill not less than 10 feet long. It’s eyes, oval and a sea green color, were as large as a meat platter. It had three legs on either side, shaped like the legs of a crocodile, with terrible claws. It had wings

like a bat, fully 50 feet long according to the eyewitnesses. Its body was encircled with yellow and black bands a foot in width. Boys in the crowd amused themselves by firing revolvers and shotguns at it until it became enraged. It gave one shrill whistle, spread its ponderous wings and with a few osculating motions raised high above the treetops. It circled around the lake a few times then plunged to its bottom with a terrible noise. One witness, a Mr. John Thompson, was fortunate securing a few outlines by actual measurements: length from tip to tip, 190 feet; five feet, two inches between the eyes; forty-five feet girth. Believe it or not, it was thought at the time that the monster of Laketon trav-

Or is he just hibernating till warmer weather. (by Ron Woodward) THE LIONS CLUB will celebrate their 60th year anniversary on March 11, 2-5 p.m., at the Pleasant Township Fire Station.

Wabash Lady Apaches fall short in regional final

by Gary Andrews The Wabash girls basketball team fell short at the Tipton regional Feb. 18. The Lady Apaches won the morning game over Winchester 71-58 before falling in the championship to Seeger 57-41. Game one was no easy task for the Lady Apaches as they took on unranked Winchester, who boasted the state’s 2A leading scorer, Ball State bound Jill Morrison. Winchester had won six sectionals in a row and two regionals. Wabash would start with a 5-2 lead on two Kelsey Cromer free throws and a Kyleigh Hampton three before Morrison would take over as Winchester built a 15-7 lead. Hampton hit her second three of the quarter with 1:27 to go before Cromer drained a three with .55 left as Wabash trailed 15-13 after one. Wabash would rally to start the second. Katelyn Vogel hit a free throw, followed by two Claire Cromer free throws and a Hampton deuce to tie the score at

18. After a Marin Hill steal, Vogel hit a driving layup the give the Apaches a 20-18 lead. On the ensuing Winchester possession, Claire Cromer stole the ball and was on her way down the floor before the official blew a delayed whistle, calling her for a foul. That call didn’t slow the Apaches down. Behind Hampton and Hill the Apaches stretched the lead to 25-20. With 2:12 left, Kelsey Cromer hit, followed by Hampton’s second three of the quarter as Wabash led 31-22. Morrison took over again, scoring 10 quick points as Winchester led 32-31 at the half. The third quarter would start fast as Winchester struck first, before Kelsey Cromer and Vogel hit back to back to put Wabash up 35-34. Morrison answered with a three before Claire Cromer hit knotting the score at 37. On the next Winchester possession, Morrison was called for a charge and went down hurt before she taken out of the game

with the score tied at 37 with 5:27 to play. The Lady Apaches wasted no time taking advantage of the situation. Kaley Obenour converted a three-point play and Morrison was put back in with 4:54 to go. Wabash kept the heat on with Kelsey Cromer hitting three straight buckets, one a three and Wabash led 47-38. Fired up on the offensive end, Marin Hill drew a charge on the defensive side and the Apaches were up 49-39 with 2:16 to go. A Morrison bucket sandwiched between buckets from the Cromer sisters and Wabash led 53-41 after three. The Wabash game plan for Morrison came into effect in the fourth quarter. Katelyn Vogel was assigned to chase Morrison and keep as much pressure as possible on her. Lyndsie Thomas, a defensive ace, who was back from a knee injury, traded with Vogel and between the two wore Morrison down. Thomas chased Morrison to the baseline, where normally she would pull up for a

shot, but with worn out legs, the high flying Kyleigh Hampton sent her last shot out of bounds with a monster block. The Apaches out scored Winchester 1817 in the final quarter to win 71-58 and made it to the regional final against Seeger who had knocked off Tipton. Leading Wabash was Kelsey Cromer with 25 points, one rebound and two blocks. Kyleigh Hampton had 16 points, six rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks. Claire Cromer had 14 points, two rebounds, five assists and a steal. Katelyn Vogel had nine points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal. Marin Hill had four points, six rebounds, one assist and a block. Kalie Obenour had three points and two rebounds. Lyndsie Thomas had three rebounds and two assists. In the championship game against Seeger, Wabash went up first on a Kelsey Cromer bucket and then a

series of early game jitters hit both teams with three consecutive turnovers before Seeger went up 3-2. Kyleigh Hampton and Cromer would trade buckets with Seeger and the Apaches trailed 8-7 when Seeger scored the last 5 points of the quarter and led Wabash 13-7 after one. Cromer would start the second quarter with a three to cut it to 13-10 before Seeger answered with a three. Hampton would then hit her second three of the game to make it 1815, followed by a Cromer bucket and it was 18-17. Seeger had the lead at 22-19 when Katelyn Vogel converted a three-point play to tie the score at 22 with 53.2 remaining in the half. Seeger worked for the last shot and hit with .04 on the clock and led Wabash 24-22 at the half. Wabash would quickly take the lead to start the third quarter on a Cromer three that was answered with a Seeger three. Cromer connected on two free throws and it was tied at 27. Seeger went up two before Hampton hit her third three of the game to put Wabash up 30-29 and was backed up with a Marin Hill bucket to build it to 32-29. Back came Seeger, scoring the next four points to take the lead back when Lyndsie Thomas hit to put Wabash up 34-33. Seeger hit again and Thomas tied it at

connect the teaching and learning. A meeting has been scheduled with the parents of those students who have not passed the state testing to discuss ways students can improve. Guidance and administration will work with individuals or small groups of students to motivate and help them with specific skills and strategies to improve. A school-wide convocation will be scheduled to explain the grading process and how we get a final grade for the school.” The writing section of the ISTEP test is the first full week in March. “In a sense we are all like coaches preparing for the big game. Coaches scout and use the skills of their players to overcome the opposing team’s strengths. In school we use the state standards and then apply those learned skills to the testing. Please help us encourage our students to do their absolute best!” Make sure they have plenty of sleep and a good breakfast on testing days.

Their help in judging the projects and their commitment to the students at Sharp Creek is very much appreciated. ISTEP TESTING I N F O R M AT I O N FROM NORTHFIELD’S PRINCIPAL: The writing section of ISTEP for the junior high is the first full week of March. Principal Keaffaber states, “Our focus for the next several weeks will be to continue to raise the awareness of the importance of the state-mandated testing, as this becomes our report card for the school. We can have the best programs and best teaching, but the state only judges us on the final report card based on these snapshots of testing. The testing we are talking about are the seventh and eighth grade ISTEP (mathematics and Engish/language arts), and ECA (End of Course Assessments).” Northfield has a plan “to increase the awareness and also the motivation for the students to do their best. Homeroom teachers and supporting subjects will encourage, motivate, and provide cross-curricular instruction to

Peru business offers massage therapy services

ALYCIA BABCOCK is the owner of Body In Balance, a full-service massage therapy business located in Peru. (photo by Amy Watkins)

Whether seeking relief for a medical condition, searching for a method to help deal with the stresses of daily life or wanting to maintain good health, more and more people are turning to massage therapy. In 2005, Alycia Babcock realized this and began to pursue a career in massage therapy through the Ohio

College of Massotherapy, Akron, Ohio. She graduated with an associate’s degree, and after being gone for over a decade, came back to her hometown of Peru to offer the gift of massage and build a business of making people feel better. After providing services at various locations such as client’s homes, busi-

佡 $# 佡 % $ "$ !# 佡 $ 佡 $ 佡 # 佡 "( '

ness, schools, doctor’s and dentist’s offices as well as salons, she decided to open a massage therapy center exclusively providing therapy to help more people find the relaxation they needed. Massage therapy doesn’t just feel good, it is actually shown to reduce heart rates, lower blood pressures, increase circulation, improve range of motion and enhance flexibility. Massage also increases endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which can eliminate the need for narcotics and pharmaceuticals. Aptly named Body In Balance, because we are always striving to find balance in our lives, they offer two full-time therapists and one part-time therapist who are trained in a variety of modalities including deep tissue, relaxation, hot stone, craniosacral, accupressure, lymph drainage, positional release and prenatal, just to name a few. Their sessions range from 30 minutes to two hours and vary in

price. Hours vary by therapist and are by appointment only, Monday through Saturday. They also offer gift certificates year round. Body in Balance therapists are each certified by the Indiana State Massage Therapy Board and are professional members of the American Massage Therapy Association. They adhere to their Codes of Ethics and Standards of Practice and you can be assured each therapist will provide a quality therapy session. April Reynolds has been a certified massage therapist for almost five years and has previous experience working at chiropractor’s offices and hospice. She enjoys performing deep muscle therapy and acupressure as well as a quick full body 30 minute detox session. She is available full

time and is currently offering $10 off to all new clients during the month of February. Dean Berry works part time at Body In Balance as well as having his own massage therapy business in Logansport part time. He is currently the [resident of the American Massage Therapy Association, Indiana Chapter, and

has almost 10 years experience as a massage therapist. He also has experience working in nursing centers and with hospice patients as well as salons. If you would like to make an appointment for a professional massage with any of the caring therapists at Body In Balance, please call 765-475-0700.

The receptionist is generally in the office Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or you can leave a message and your call will be returned shortly.

Wabash Chiropractic Center welcomes massage therapist receiving a massage prior to being adjusted will help maximize the benefits of the adjustment. “If helps to relax the muscles, which would in turn help you have a better adjustment. It may also help your adjustment last longer,” she said. She went on to say that the massage could help the patient achieve full range of motion, which would allow the chiropractor to perform a better adjustment. Ogan first fell in love with massage therapy as a client. After several years of patronage, her mas-

by Danielle Swan DSmith@thepaperofwabash.com

On March 5, Wabash Chiropractic Center, 508 N. Wabash St., Wabash, will welcome Massage Therapist Stephanie Ogan to the staff. Ogan will offer 15- and 30-minute massages that will coincide with patients’ adjustment appointments. “They can come in the day before they get an adjustment or we can schedule it for right before they move on to Dr. Dave so they can get a massage on that area that they are really having trouble with,” Ogan said. Ogan says that

sage therapist suggested that she attend school for massage therapy. Ogan accepted the advice and attended Alexandria School of S c i e n t i f i c T h e r a p e u t i c Massage until she graduated in 2008. “I had always wanted to do something that’s helpful to people. I like to be around people, this is a way that you can help them get better,” she said. Since her graduation from Alexandria, Ogan has been employed at Uptown Styles. In November 2011, she transitioned to prac-

ticing massage therapy full-time. Ogan will remain at Uptown Styles on a part-time basis. The services that Ogan provides at Wabash Chiropractic will differ slightly from her services at Uptown Style. “At Uptown, you do get people that come in there because they are hurting, but it’s more of a way to treat yourself or treat someone, whereas at Wabash Chiropractic, we are focusing mainly on if you have a certain area that’s bothering you and you need to focus on how to make that better. This is working mas-

sage into more of the medical field than there,” she said. At Wabash Chiropractic, Ogan’s 15- or 30-minute massages that are scheduled in conjunction with an adjustment may be billed to the patient’s insurance company. “If they are a regular client of Dr. Dave’s and he feels it will be beneficial, he can recommend them to me and we can bill it to their insurance. It’s nice that insurance companies are finally saying ‘Hey, this is beneficial and we can take care of some of this cost for them,” she said.

Ogan took extra training at Alexandria in pfrimmer therapy, which is a deep tissue massage technique that has proven helpful to arthritis patients, fibromyalgia patients and others. At some point, she and Dr. Frischman plan to expand her services to include trigger point therapy as well. “Hopefully we can continue to offer more to come,” she said. Ogan is a Wabash native. Her husband, Kevin, is employed at Ford Meter Box, and they have a two-yearold son. Ogan will still be available at Uptown

Stephanie Ogan Style on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. She will be at Wabash Chiropractic on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. To book an appointment with her at Wabash Chiropractic, call 260563-8476.

Indiana wheat ‘excellent’ despite wet planting season

Indiana’s winter wheat crop is healthy and right on track despite wet weather at planting time last fall that slightly reduced the state’s acreage, a Purdue University agronomist said. Indiana farmers planted about 430,000 acres of winter wheat for 2012, compared with the nearly 460,000 acres planted for 2011. But according to Herb Ohm, the state’s crop looks “beautiful” to this point. “The wet fall delayed planting a bit, so the wheat had just emerged before it started getting cold,” he said. “But because of the mild winter we’ve had, there’s been no substantial winter kill. We haven’t had many heavy rains that would have led to ponding in the fields. The wheat is in excellent condition.” Ohm said if the weather stays warm for the remainder of winter, wheat could soon come out of winter dormancy and

start to grow again. The early awakening would give the crop plenty of time to tiller - something it didn’t have time to do last fall. But the mild weather might also have a downside. Ohm said farmers could see higher incidences of foliar diseases, such as septoria leaf blotch, stagonospora glume blotch and powdery mildew. “Foliar diseases, including leaf and glume blotch, were likely established and active into December. Whether or not they become a problem will depend on the weather because both like warm, wet conditions,” Ohm said. “Powdery mildew will establish early in the spring, but by May it’s likely to fizzle because it likes cool, wet weather.” What has Ohm most concerned, however, is fusarium - a fungus that not only causes yield loss but also produces a vomitoxin that renders the grain useless for

Eiler family welcomes daughter Shaun and Valerie Eiler of Wabash are the parents of a daughter born Aug. 11 at 3:34 p.m. Lakin Jean Marie Eiler weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces, and was 20.1 inches long.

Great-grandparents are Anthony and Irene Panzica, the late Darl and Betty Driscoll, the late Galen and Patty Eiler and the late Charles and Dorothy Sweeney.

It Is A Crime

human or animal consumption. Fusarium grows in corn, where it’s more commonly referred to as “giberella,” and can overwinter in the corn stubble left in the fields in no-till systems. Wheat planted into that stubble, or planted in neighboring fields, can become susceptible to the fungus. “Wheat growers need to scout their

fields and pay close attention to corn stubble in those fields or nearby fields,” Ohm said. “If they’re seeing a lot of black in the corn stalks, it’s likely at least some of that black is fusarium.” The fungus thrives in humid, wet conditions - especially in April to June when wheat is flowering. It can be successfully treated with fungi-

cides, but the application window is very small. “Fusarium affects wheat when the crop is flowering, and that’s the time when farmers need to apply fungicides,” Ohm said. Part of what makes fusarium tricky is that growers won’t see symptoms in their wheat crop until after the disease is established. That’s why

Ohm recommends farmers start to scout fields for foliar diseases before the early boot stage, and, if significant disease is developing, apply the appropriate fungicides. If the weather is warm and humid around the time the crop starts to flower, growers need to apply a fungicide specifically for control of fusarium head blight. “If the weather is

cool and dry at flowering, fusarium will be less likely,” he said. One thing that shouldn’t be a problem this year is the Hessian fly, a pest that can severely damage winter wheat, especially when it is planted early. “Hessian fly isn’t a serious concern at this point this year because most wheat in Indiana was planted late,” he said.
