Wabash County shares New Year’s resolutions

By Ashley Flynn and J.D. Sparks Many people look at the New Year through a hopeful lens: as a fresh start, a clean slate, and an opportunity to lead more productive, happier and healthier lives.

Recently, 23 people found working, shopping or walking around the city of Wabash shared with The Paper how they wish to better themselves come 2013.

Here, in no particular order, are their New Year’s resolutions:

Brandy Eakright “I want to quit smoking.”

Keith Smitt “I want to get to Best Buy (Fort Wayne) a little earlier than 32 hours for Black Friday to keep my record for waiting outside (of Best Buy).”

Danielle Castle “I want to quit smoking and save my husband hundreds.”

Mayor Bob Vanlandingham “I will continue to impress upon the citizens of this county how important it is for us to continue to cooperate and work together as one.”

Al Summers “Mine is to find a way to bring back Randy Rhoads back to life. He’s the guitarist from Ozzy Osbourne.”

Brenda Schultz “Mine is to draw closer to Jesus and to lose weight.”

Montana Speicherweimer “I want to do more for our deployed heroes serving in Afghanistan.”

Aimee Emrick “I want to grow the social media audience for my business.”

Karen Oakes “(I want to) stay positive.”

M.J. Michael “I eat a lot of junk, so I want to eat healthier.”

Autumn Strickler “Stick to my diet.”

Chrystal Webb “I need to get rid of half of everything in my closest and home.”

Dolly Walls “I want to lose weight and quit smoking and make sure my family stays healthy.”

Lindsey Schenkel “Work out more.”

Raymond New “I want to keep in touch with my family.”

Talan Saunders “I am going to be a good dad for my baby that’s on the way.”

Stephanie Smith “I wish to have a good, healthy, prosperous year.”

Sharon Dillard “I want to spend more time with my family and less time where I work.”

Timber Whitney “I’m going to bring my family closer and continue down the road of happiness.”

Taylor O’Banion “My girlfriend and I are going to be healthy people and keep each other on that track. We’re going to become vegetarian, cutting out one type of meat at a time. Red meat is the first to go.”

Jake Smith “I want to get good grades and a sports scholarship.”

Kim Osborne and Alex Barr “I want to get fit and be healthy and have more business.”

2 Holidays prove difficult for Eviston family 20 years after disappearance www.thepaperofwabash.com

by Brent Swan On Aug. 29, 1991, 20year old Wesley Eviston, a 1989 graduate of Southwood High School, went missing. Where he went and what happened to him are both still mysteries - 20 years later.

The day Eviston went missing, Wes was home with friends on 500S in southern Wabash County. According to his mother, Betty Stanton, Wes later left the home abruptly,

January 2, 2013

stating he smelled a set up. Despite his mother’s pleas to stay at home, Wes took off and was never heard from again.

Shortly after his disappearance, Eviston’s truck was found at the Huntington Street Bridge in Wabash. His keys were still in the ignition, his wallet was still in the truck, and most notably his cigarettes were still in the vehicle.

“I had a friend that worked at the Crystal

Flash Gas Station who pulled me to the side and said, ‘Betty, something happened to Wes,’” Stanton said.

“I asked her how she knew that, and she said that no smoker would leave behind their cigarettes like that.”

The only thing missing from the truck was Eviston’s rifle he always carried with him. To this day, the rifle remains missing as well.

“Wes was a good kid,” Stanton said.

“He wasn’t perfect by any means, but he really was a good kid.

I had warned him to stay away from some of the people he had been around, but he always told me he would be okay, that he wouldn’t let anything happen.”

Stanton said that over the past 20 years,

Stanton says she still has the Christmas presents she had gotten for Wes the year he went missing.

“A lot of people ask me if finding out what happened to Wes

will provide some form of closure,” Stanton said. “On a case like this, there is never closure. We just hope that at some point, someone steps forward and lets us know what happened.

Someone, somewhere, has to know by now,

what happened to Wes. That’s what we want to know.”

several tips and leads have trickled in, but to no avail.

“One time a person called and said they knew where we could find the rifle and Wes’s bloody clothes,” Stanton explained.

“The sheriff ’s department took him out, but he couldn’t find anything. It was just a person wanting to cut a deal to get out of jail early.”

Although Eviston’s disappearance remains a mystery, Stanton has her ideas as to what may or may not have happened.

“He had always told me he’d be okay,” Stanton said. “I was worried about one or two of the guys that Wes had been working with. He had come home beaten up pretty bad a couple of times, but he promised me he would be able to take care of himself.”

Stanton said the disappearance has been hardest on Wes’s younger brother, Nick.

“Nick looked up to Wes,” Stanton said.

“He has had a hard time dealing with it at times. The holidays

Economic Development Group WGU Indiana celebrates awards Konyha two-year extension 500th graduate Ron Kerby, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, Inc. (EDG) announced that the contract of Bill Konyha, president and CEO was extended for two years through Dec. 31, 2014.

“The Board believes that Bill has done an exceptional job of promoting Wabash County both on a regional and state level during some of the most difficult times in memory” said Kerby. “The com-

petition for business development is a huge challenge and Bill’s knowledge and experience will keep Wabash County among the strongest competitors.”

During the past year EDG supported the investment of $29,840,217 of private investment and secured $2,327,000.00 of state and federal grants to support various activities according to Konyha.

“EDG efforts during 2012 supported the private sector creation of 227 jobs with a total annual payroll

in excess of $7.5 million which is an average wage of $16.59 per hour,” Konyha said.

“The current average wage in Wabash County is $15.40 per hour according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This will generate up to $221,700.00 that reduce Wabash County Property Taxes and pay for critical city and county services.”

The EDG is preparing a year-end report of its activities for the Board of Directors, the City of Wabash, Wabash County, and

Bill Konyha North Manchester.

These reports will be presented to the local units of government beginning with the N. Manchester Town Council in January 2013.

INDIANAPOLIS– WGU Indiana, in just its third year as the state’s nonprofit, online university, has graduated its 500th student. With more than 3,000 students currently enrolled in one of WGU Indiana’s more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, Indiana’s eighth state university emphasizes the importance of developing a Hoosier workforce in high-demand career fields, such as business, education, information technology and healthcare.

“This milestone of graduating our 500th graduate speaks not only to the growth of our university, but also to our commitment to developing Hoosiers ready to play an active role in our 21st century economy,” WGU Indiana Chancellor Allison Barber said. “It’s been proven time and again that college

“WGU Indiana continues to be a great example of a university dedicated to developing Indiana’s workforce,” said Gina DelSanto, Chief of Staff at the Indiana Commission for Higher Education.

“When Hoosiers are graduating from universities located in Indiana, then staying in Indiana, that spells good things for our state.

WGU Indiana’s academic model works, and the university’s first 500 graduates are proving it.”

completion counts, whether it’s to earn a salary increase, qualify for a new job or satisfy a lifelong goal. Because 740,000 Hoosier adults have some college experience and no degree, we’ll continue to offer an affordable, high-quality option for those interested in going further.”

By 2018, more than half the jobs in Indiana will require a college credential.

In 2010, only onethird of adults possessed a college degree. Considering the average annual income of someone with a college degree versus someone with only a high school education is $1 million more over the course of a 40-year career, Indiana’s

Sen. Banks proposes bill to reduce veterans’ college costs State Sen. Jim Banks (R-Columbia City) has filed legislation to help returning military veterans obtain a more affordable college degree.

Senate Bill 177 would allow qualified veterans to be eligible for resident tuition rates upon enrolling in a state educational i n s t i t u t i o n .

Applicants would qualify regardless of whether they have lived in Indiana long enough to meet the school’s residency requirements.

“All too often, veterans find themselves at a financial disadvantage in paying for college because the nature of their service has left them ineli-

gible for in-state tuition,” Banks said.

“This can prevent them from finding long-term employment, developing secure finances or pursuing their life goals. I want to help change that.”

To qualify for Banks’ proposed tuition benefit, veter-

Lugar, Skillman honored by Farm Bureau Senator Richard Lugar and Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman, both of whom leave office in January, have received President’s Awards from Indiana Farm Bureau.

IFB President Don Villwock described Skillman, who received the President’s Award for O u t s t a n d i n g Stewardship, as the “perfect individual to be our first secretary of agriculture.”

“She championed Indiana agriculture wherever she went in the state, nation or world,” Villwock said.

“She’s set the bar extremely high for those who follow.”

Lugar received the President’s Award for Distinguished Service for his 30+ years of service to Indiana and agriculture.

“Throughout his career Sen. Lugar has been the farmers’ champion for freer markets, fewer regulations and more renewable fuels,” said Villwock. “His passion has been to unshackle American agriculture from onerous acreage controls and to turn American farmers

loose to produce up to their farm’s capability.”

Villwock added, “He has been a great friend of Farm Bureau and a dear friend to me personally,” adding that he’s considered Lugar a mentor since the 1970s, which is when Villwock first met him while on the Young Farmer Committee.

Both Skillman and Lugar were recognized at Indiana Farm Bureau’s annual convention, held Dec. 7 and 8 in Indianapolis.

Haley Boone and Zachary Dials to wed Haley Boone and Zachary Dials, both of Ashburn, Va., announce their engagement.

Haley is the daughter of Elizabeth Boone, Herndon, Va. She attended Roanoke College and is employed as a second grade teacher in Fairfax County, Va. Zack is the son of Jerry and Dawn Dials, Wabash. He attended the University of Kentucky and is now the president of P3 Pitching in Ashburn.

The couple plans to wed June 1, 2013 in Lucketts, Va.

ans would be required to enroll in a state college or university no later than 12 months after their discharge or separation from the armed forces.

They would also be required to meet at least one of the following criteria within 12 months of enrollment: Apply to vote in Indiana.

Obtain a driver’s license or state identification card.

Register their motor vehicles in the

state.

Provide proof of employment in Indiana.

“We owe so much to the men and women who have fought to protect our freedom,” Banks said. “Helping them attain further education is a simple act we can do to show our gratitude for their sacrifices. I am hopeful this legislation will allow more veterans to establish secure lives and bright futures back home.”

Half of all home-heating fires occur in December, January and February Cold weather is here, and many Hoosiers turn to alternative heating methods to keep warm. The Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office wants to remind Hoosiers are to take extra care when using alternative heating methods to stay warm in their homes.

Alternative heating methods include fireplaces, gas or electric space heaters, wood-bur ning stoves, and other fuel-burning sources.

According to the

National Fire P r o t e c t i o n Association (NFPA), in 2010, heating equipment was the second leading cause of home fires in the United States. More than 57,000 reported fires caused 490 deaths, 1,530 injuries, and more than $1 billion in property damage.

Half of all home-heating fires... continued from page 7 ment other than a central heating system needs to follow all manufacturer directions and exercise extreme caution to avoid starting a fire.”

The Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office is a division of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS).

According to NFPA, between 2006 and 2010, the leading factor contributing to home heating fires

was failure to properly clean creosote, an oily deposit that easily catches fire, from solid-fueled heating equipment such as chimneys.

Use only dry, seasoned wood in a fireplace or wood stove to avoid the build-up of creosote.

Use only paper or kindling wood, not a flammable liquid, to start the fire. Do not use artificial logs in wood stoves.

Make sure your fireplace has a sturdy screen to prevent sparks from flying into the room.

Allow fireplace and woodstove ashes to cool before disposing in a metal container, which is kept a safe distance from your home.

If you have a space heater, know how to use it safely to avoid the risk of fire.

Space heaters need space. Keep heaters

away from flammable materials such as bedding, drapes, clothing, etc.

Use the proper grade of fuel for your liquid-fueled space heater and never use gasoline in any heater not approved for gasoline use.

Refuel space heaters only in a wellventilated area and when the equipment is cool.

Plug power cords only into outlets with sufficient capacity, never into an extension cord.

Turn off space heaters whenever the room they are in is unoccupied.

Turn off space heaters when you go to bed each night to avoid knocking them over in the dark.

Knowing how to use your generator properly can protect you and your family from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

Never use a generator inside. Place emergency generators outdoors away from windows and doors to prevent fumes from entering the home.

Have a CO detector in the house that sounds an alarm when dangerous carbon monoxide levels are found.

Manchester man arrested at gunpoint Two killed in head-on collision

Kosciusko County Deputies recently arrested a North Manchester man at gunpoint after officers caught him breaking into his girlfriend’s residence with a firearm.

Kosciusko County Sheriff ’s Department deputies responded Dec. 17 to a report of a possible burglary in progress just west of the town of Pierceton.

K.C.S.D. Sgt. Floyd Knafel arrived at the 6511 East Pierceton Road residence and immediately noted a shattered door to the residence.

Moments later, a suspect, later identified as Troy Michael Frieden, 38, North Manchester, exited the home covered in blood and was held at gunpoint until taken into custody by K.C.S.D. Cpl. Chris

Rager. Frieden was found to have in his possession two handguns, a .22 caliber Browning and a 9mm Smith and Wesson.

Kosciusko County Sheriff ’s Department detectives stated that Frieden had apparently broken into the residence through a garage entry door and sliced his hand in the process. Once inside the home, Frieden had discharged one weapon into the engine compartment of the victim’s vehicle as it was parked inside the garage.

Frieden then proceeded to canvas the entire house looking for his ex-girlfriend, leaving a trail of blood splatters throughout.

Frieden also broke several glass objects inside the residence as well as firing rounds into two tele-

Janet Shaner, 76 Lifelong member of Nazarene Church Aug. 10, 1936 – Dec. 10, 2012

Janet Marie (Epeards) Shaner, 76, Wabash, went home to Heaven on Dec. 10 at her residence in Miller’s Merry Manor West in Wabash. She was surrounded by her children after a very long struggle with Parkinson’s disease.

Janet was born to Amzi and Stausie (Weaver) Epeards, in Indianapolis on Aug. 10, 1936. She married Ronald Marion Shaner on Sept. 4, 1954.

Janet was a pastor’s wife, homemaker and mother to five children, plus gave selflessly to the nurturing, car, and mentoring of dozens of additional children throughout her adult life as a day care provider. She was also a foster parent to 33 additional children over a 12-year period, the last of which was a special needs toddler. She was a life-long member of the Nazarene church, and served in countless ways behind-the-scenes as pastor’s wife throughout her marriage to Ron, most recently at the First Church of the Nazarene in Peru, where her husband retired as pastor in 1997 after 20 years of service. She played the piano; loved to paint, build, sew, make crafts, ceramics, knit, crochet, decorate and rearrange furniture. She was extremely created, always owned her own toolbox. She wasn’t afraid to try to fix anything. She will always be remembered for her quiet spirit, strong will, giving heart, and unique sense of humor.

She was preceded in death by her father, mother, brother William Epeards, two brothers who died in infancy, and one grandchild Trevor Shaner. She is survived by her husband who still resides in Miller’s Merry Manor West, five children, Garry (Deb) Shaner, Dewitt, Va., Sherry (Dave) Parmer, Edmond, Okla., Terri (James) Sprunger, Wabash, Jerry (Barb) Shaner, Galien, Mich., and Perry (Melissa) Shaner, Waterloo Wis.; 15 grandchilren; 10 great grandchildren; and a half-brother Rusty Epeards.

A private service given by Pastor Ken Gobel, was held at Janet’s bedside with immediate family. Janet donated her body for research at IU Medical Center. Her remains will be interred at a later date at Memorial Gardens in Wabash.

For those who wish to honor the memory of Janet Shaner, memorial contribution may be made to National Parkinson Foundation, Gift Processing Center, PO Box 5018 Hagerstown, MD, 217415018. To send a private condolence to Janet’s family, visit www.flowersleedyallen.com

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME to wish all of you Happy Holiday and I hope this season has brought you peace and happiness.

I appreciate all the feedback I have received on my articles.

AS YOU ARE TRAVELING about in your vehicles, please, please, remember that it is only a machine – and can not respond as fast as you can think. As the roads have become icy there have been some needless accidents.

If you come upon a vehicle going slow there is usually a reason. Slow down and

don’t try to pass. Cars, ice and speed do not go well together. (and stay off that phone) It’s better to get there late than not at all.

THE TOWN OF LAKETON has a new place to eat. Sandy’s Coffee Corner/ Mini Mart (formerly Martin’s) on the corner of Mill and East Wayne St. has a new look and new owners.

The New Owner is Sandy Renz, Laketon, She opened the doors to the public on Dec. 10, and working along with her are her daughter and granddaughter: Teresa Reed and Nikki Nance.

They hope to cater to the community with good service, and good prices all delivered with a smile. The mini mart will continue to sell cigarettes.

The Cafe also has WI-fi for your convenience. Hours are 6 a.m-5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Sunday hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. and closed on Wednesday. Sandy would like to invite you to stop in and try

IN 1976...after a very good Laketonian Festival, there was some money left and the committee needed to decide what to do with it. There was and opportunity to organize a not-for-profit association for the town. Thelma Butler wrote to Washington to get approval and the Laketon/ Pleasant T o w n s h i p Association was formed. That same year Marilyn Thompson was the Laketon Postmaster and she contacted the head of the U.S Post and got a special stamp for the day to celebrate.

The Street Light Fund originally was headed to be the Laketon Lions Club, but they turned the overseeing of the Laketon lights over to the association. Every spring the Laketon/Pleasant T o w n s h i p Association sends a letter to every household for a donation to help pay for the lights.

The lights help light up the town to help detour crime and accidents.

Earl Grindle from the former Earl’s Restaurant was the original keeper of the Laketon sign on SR 114. It was set up to be self-sufficient with the money from business advertising signs to pay for electricity and upkeep. Earl turned the maintenance of the sign over to the Association.

The past year the sign was updated with new lighting, painting and repairs on the sign.

Several years ago, the members decided the town would benefit from a tornado warning siren. This past year the Association paid for repairs on the tornado siren.

The Laketonian Festival is organized and put on by members of the Association with all of their time being volunteered New officers were elected for 2013 and will be installed on Jan. 28, 7 p.m., in the

Crop and Livestock A Very Productive 2012 For Manchester Main Street Price Prospects

By Darrel Good This is a presentation summary from the 2012 Illinois Farm Economics Summit (IFES) which occurred December 10-14, 2012 at locations across Illinois.

Summaries and MP3 podcasts of all presentations will be republished on farmdoc daily.

The ‘Presentations’ section of the farmdoc site has PDF presentation slides and MP3 podcasts from all presenters here.

Crops The crop price environment will likely remain very volatile in 2013, reflecting production uncertainty and unsettled economic issues.

However, a transition to lower prices is anticipated as production rebounds. The extent of the price decline will depend heavily on the outcome of the 2013 crops.

The small corn crop and high prices in 2012 will result in a substantial decline in consumption and small inventories by the end of the current marketing year.

Smaller crops in other parts of the world and continued strong demand will also reduce foreign inventories. Argentine corn production is expected to rebound in 2013.

Stable U.S. acreage and a return to a trend yield would result in a U.S. crop in 2013 in excess of 14

billion bushels, allowing a substantial rebuilding of inventories.

Prices are expected to decline from the record high levels of 2012 as production rebounds. An average farm price above $7 is expected for the 2012-13 marketing year, but the average for the 2013-14 marketing year could be in the $4.75 to $5.50 range.

Both South America and the U.S. had small soybean crops in 2012, resulting in sharply higher prices in the last half of the year. Like corn, U.S. and world production is expected to rebound in 2013. The USDA has projected a record South American harvest.

Stable acreage and a trend yield in the U.S. would result in a crop near the record of 2009. If production unfolds as expected, world inventories will expand during the 2013-14 marketing year and prices will continue to retreat.

An average farm price near $14.50 is expected for the 201213 marketing year, while the average for the 2013-14 marketing year is expected to be in the $11 to $12 range.

U.S. wheat production rebounded in 2012, but production in the rest of the world declined sharply, leading to some improvement in U.S. export demand.

High corn prices also increased the level of

domestic wheat feeding, but year ending stocks will be adequate. U.S. acreage is expected to increase in 2013 and foreign production is expected to rebound. The near term focus will be on the status of drought conditions in the HRW areas. Most of the 2012 wheat crop in Illinois has been sold, at an average price near $8. Prices during the first half of 2013 are expected to remain high. A subsequent decline to the $6 to $7 range would be expected with good U.S. and world crop prospects.

Livestock U.S. pork production is expected to decline from 23.26 billion pounds in 2012 to 22.94 billion pounds in 2013. Exports are expected to remain near the 2012 level of 5.4 billion pounds.

Domestic pork supplies are projected at 44.9 pounds per capita in 2013, down from 45.7 pounds in 2011 and 2012. The average price of hogs was near $66 in 2011 and $61 in 2012. An average near $64 is expected for 2013.

U.S. beef production is expected to decline from 25.7 billion pounds in 2012 to 24.6 billion pounds in 2013. From a 19-year low of 460 million pounds in 2004, U.S. beef exports grew to 2.79 billion pounds in 2011, but declined to 2.47 billion pounds in 2012. Declining pro-

Since 1989, Manchester Main Street has been committed to revitalizing and enhancing the rich cultural, natural and architectural resources that make North Manchester a unique and wonderful place to live. Thanks to the active participation and financial generosity of this great community, Manchester Main Street accomplished quite a bit over the past year.

Manchester Main Street gained permission from downtown building owners to enhance the appearance of eleven vacant buildings in North Manchester’s core.

During the April 14, “Main Street CleanUp Day,” windows were cleaned, debris was cleared and local artwork was hung in the empty storefronts.

A new exhibit by M a n c h e s t e r Community School’s students was installed for the winter months. In partnership with the town’s

downtown sidewalk renovation project, Manchester Main Street offers personalized engraved pavers.

All sales revenue is restricted to town improvement projects.

Manchester Main Street also collaborated with Wabash to create a Tourist Rack Card promoting shopping, dining and entertainment in Wabash County.

Manchester Main Street formed an alliance with North Manchester Parks and Recreation to develop and execute a 5-phased Community Trail Network construction plan and funding strategy. The project is scheduled to launch in spring 2013.

The newly installed “Riverfront” Park is a key asset. Its site-specific sculpture, landscaping and educational signage pays tribute to the Eel River and serves as a downtown gateway landmark. This holiday season, Manchester Main

duction is expected to limit exports to 2.45 billion pounds in 2013.

Domestic per capita beef supplies in 2013 are projected at 54.8 pounds, down from 56.8 pounds in 2012.

Fed cattle prices averaged near $122 in 2012 and are projected to average near $125 in 2013.

Library and Museum Form a Strong Connection

The Wabash Carnegie Public Library and the Wabash County Historical Museum are working closely together to serve their patrons. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, the Library will take over ownership and care of the archival holdings housed on the Museum’s second floor.

According to Tracy Stewart, executive

director of the museum, this project has been underway for several months. “The Museum’s board of directors realized earlier this year that our budget made it difficult to make the most of the archival items that are entrusted to us. There is so much research to be done, so much organizing, and so much involved in caring for these items.

All this 15215

requires a staff larger than the Museum’s and, of course, a budget to care for the items.”

While researching different ways to care for and fund the archives, the Museum looked at a model close to home: the Indiana State Museum and the Indiana State

Historical Society.

“These two organizations have parallel collections.

The museum collects 3-D artifacts and the historical society focuses on books, photographs, and paper items,” said Stewart.

Ware Wimberly, Director of the Wabash Carnegie Public Library,

explained that most people would not notice the change in ownership. “To most of the patrons who use the archives, there will be little change. The collection will still be housed in the museum at 36 E. Market Street. Just as at the library, the collection will be available to anyone, even those

without a library card. The items are for research only and the collection cannot be checked out.”

Stewart added, “In the past, the Museum had to charge patrons for access to the archives.

It was included in the admission charge. Now the Library will make visits to the archives available to anyone at

no charge.”

Heather Allen, who has worked for the museum since its opening in 2006, will transfer to the library staff. “Heather is a great asset. She has worked with the collection for years and we look forward to having her expertise,” said Wimberly

North Manchester Historical Society to host annual meeting and movie On Jan. 14, the North Manchester Historical Society will hold its annual Members’ Meeting in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest.

The meeting will begin at 6:40 p.m.

After brief reports on the activities of the Historical Society for the past year and election of new board members, the audi-

ence will be treated to a video, “See Yourself in the Movies, 1938.”

This silent movie was sponsored by Tri Kappa 75 years ago, and features residents, businesses and organizations in North Manchester in 1938. This film was shown at our meeting two years ago and was very well received.

The Historical

Society has spent the past two years identifying more of the people in the film and incorporating them in a new voice-over by Charles Boebel. Jim Adams has considerably enhanced the original images.

“Every time we show this movie, people just love it,” said Historical Society President Mary

Chrastil.

“Almost everyone who lives here today recognizes a family member, friend of their parents, or childhood companion. I think they must have filmed almost everyone in town. And it’s fun to see what downtown looked like in 1938— the buildings, cars, and clothing people wear are priceless.”

The public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6 p.m. for a meal prior to the meeting. For those who wish to attend the dinner, reservations must be made no later than noon on Jan. 11.

Reservations may be made by calling Mary at 260-982-1813 or Evelyn at 260-9826777. All are welcome.

Better options for Christmas trees than fish habitat There are many ways to recycle Christmas trees, but tossing them on a frozen lake to create fish habitat may not be the best idea … and may require a permit from the DNR. “Fish attractors tend to bring fish and fishermen

together,” said Bill James, chief fisheries biologist for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife.

“They provide cover but don’t necessarily grow more fish.”

Better options include taking the tree to a designated Christmas tree recycling site in your

community, tossing it in the backyard to provide shelter for wintering birds, running it through a wood chipper to create your own mulch, chopping it up for firewood.

Discarding a Christmas tree on a private pond is at the owner’s discretion,

Lagro American Legion Ladies Auxillary

but doing so on public freshwater lakes is governed by the Lake Preservation Act (Indiana Code 1426-2) and Indiana Administrative Code (312 IAC 11-4-7).

Those two laws require a license from the DNR to construct or place a fish attractor in a public freshwater lake. To qualify, the fish

attractor must be anchored to ensure proper setting and must not be placed in a channel, a beach area, near the lake surface or in an area that would adversely affect public safety and navigation, or adversely affect the natural resources or natural scenic beauty.

Three DNR divisions – Fish & Wildlife, Law Enforcement, and Water – have a role in reviewing and approving a permit request for placement of a fish attractor. If approved, the permit carries a $100 fee and requires the permit holder to remove any portion or portions of the fish attractor that become unattached.

Keaffaber makes ISU signing official

By J.D. Sparks Norse senior and baseball standout Ryan Keaffaber made his commitment to pitch for Indiana State University official Dec. 27.

He will be one of six other pitchers, two of which are fellow lefties, signed to play at ISU. His future roommate is one of those pitchers.

“He’s more of a fireballer, hard-throwing type right hander and I’m kind of that crafty lefty,” Keaffaber said.

“We’ll still be able to spitball ideas off of one another. He seems like a cool kid.”

But, with so many new faces comes much more competition.

Keaffaber has been working with his the Summit City Sluggers coach, Keaffaber’s summer baseball team, to get more out of each of his pitches.

“Coach (Mark) DeLaGarza has me doing winter workouts. He’s trying to teach me to use my legs more and separate my hip from my upper body when I pitch,”

Keaffaber said.

“I’m trying to use more of my bottom half. I feel like I’m throwing harder.”

Keaffaber also feels like he’ll have to stay healthy to remain ahead of the competition.

“I need to stay in good shape and keep my body healthy,” he continued. “I’m going to have to make the weight room my second home and get bigger and stronger to prevent injuries for the whole year.”

Keaffaber led the Norse to a 295 record that included 2A state and Three Rivers Conference titles a season ago. He went 16-0 and won each of the team’s seven postseason games. Through his career, Keaffaber is 35-2 with a 1.14 ERA with 347 strikeouts.

Keaffaber was named to the 2A All-State team twice and also earned a nod to the MaxPreps.com Small School AllAmerican team.

He will be heading to a team that has a history of success. In 2012, Indiana State, a Division I

Pictured are (front row, from left) his father, Randy Keaffaber, Ryan Keaffaber, his mother Tammy Keaffaer, (back row) Northfield Principal Mike Keaffaber, his sister Abby Keaffaber, his Summit City Sluggers Head Coach Mark DeLaGarza, his sister Allie Keaffaber, and Northfield Athletic Director and Baseball Coach Tony Uggen. (photo by J.D. Sparks) school, posted a 41-19 record and won the Missouri Valley Conference title.

Keaffaber’s father, Randy Keaffaber, also pitched at ISU. Over his final three seasons from 199093, he totaled 21 wins.

“My dad has been the one constant from Little League through now,” Keaffaber said.

“It’s going to be weird looking over in the dugout and not seeing his face. He’s helped me through everything, though.”

Keaffaber said, for a major, he’s leaning towards “something in business.” If that doesn’t work out, he will decide his major after he finds out what he enjoys through the prerequisite classes.

hunts put on hold Due to the large amount of snowfall at Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area this week, no quail hunting will be allowed. In extreme weather conditions, DNR biologists reserve the option to cancel quail hunting when it may cause undue stress to the quail population in that area.

Many of these birds are already experiencing severe hardships due to the weather conditions.

By limiting hunting pressure, excessive quail mortality will be avoided. Ice and snow have been

shown to be detrimental to quail populations, especially in locations with poor or marginal habitat.

Severe storms have been known to significantly reduce quail numbers through increased predation and the inability to find food through the snow cover.

Currently, all quail hunts at Goose Pond are by drawing only. It is not apparent if the next scheduled hunt will occur.

If you have been drawn for a quail hunt, please call the property office at 812-659-9901.

New State Farm Location Opening in Manchester

by Shaun Tilghman North Manchester News Journal On Jan. 1, 2013, State Farm Agent Tim Adams will officially open his new business at 130 E. Main St., in North Manchester.

According to Adams, the company called him personally to ask if becoming an agent were something he would be interested in. “They were looking to add an agent in North Manchester,” he said, “and they were looking for someone that had ties with people and was well known in the community.”

Adams has been a service manager in the automotive service industry for 25 years, mainly at local GM (General Motors) dealerships.

For about the last eight years he has worked at Shepherd’s Chevrolet in North Manchester, which has helped him establish the local ties that State Farm was looking for.

Although he is new to the insurance business, Adams already has a few things working in his favor, such as his brother, Todd, being a State Farm agent in Wabash. “I talked to my brother about it for quite a while,” he explained, “and I got a lot of good background information from him. So, my brother being with State Farm for a few years obviously had some bearing in it.”

Adams recently completed the 32 weeks of training required to become an agent with the company. “With most companies, you can pass your life, health, prop-

erty, and casualty insurance exams and start selling insurance immediately,” Adams added. “With State Farm, once you pass those exams, they put you through 32 weeks of training – they want to give you all of the tools to be successful.

“Once I was approved to be an agent, I had to pick a site from the State Farm website. I even had people calling me from Colorado wanting to know if I would come out there and open a State Farm Agency. But, being from around North Manchester, I decided this is where I wanted to be.”

Adams and his wife, Laura, currently live in Wabash, and their two daughters, Alysia and Alyson, are Southwood High School graduates; Alysia is a junior at Indiana WesleyanMarion, and Alyson is a freshman at Southeast Missouri State.

“Both of our kids have now graduated from high school,” Adams stated, “so my wife and I decided this was something we would like to venture into – it gives us something we can do together. Laura has gone through everything and is fully licensed, and I also hired Dane Simcoe, who was the general manager and worked at Hardee’s (in North Manchester) for the last 17-18 years. He decided he was ready for something different, so I approached him about this and he got fully licensed as well.

“They both went through about 90 days of training with State

Farm to become Team Members. We’re going to start with this staff, and as the business grows I plan on adding to it as needed.

I’m also thinking about hiring some local high school or college kids to do some calling in the evenings, so those will be some part-time opportunities I’ll offer.”

According to Adams, the local agency will offer the basic insurance – auto, home, life, and health – as well as being a full-service financial institution.

“State Farm has gotten into the financial industry pretty heavily, so I had to get my commodities license in addition to my insurance licenses,” he added.

“We’ll do banking with checking accounts, savings accounts, and credit cards,” Adams continued, “and we’ll also do mutual funds, CDs, annuities, and retirement funds. It makes us more of a one-stop shop, which is really convenient for the customers. People can come in and open up a checking or savings account, or sign up for a credit card, and we can automatically deduct their premiums out of their checking or savings, or charge it to their credit card.”

Adams said they plan to do a lot of mailings to people in the community to get their name out, and they are also going to be involved with FunFest and the local schools. According to Adams, he has already given two insurance presentations at Manchester

Jr.-Sr. High School for seniors in economics class.

“It kind of gives them an idea of what’s important as far as insurance,” he explained, “and that goes along with our main focus, which is striving for good customer service. State Farm is the #1 company in home and auto insurance – in the United States, they insure 25% of all houses and cars – but, North Manchester has a relatively low market share, so we hope to grow the market share and give people a local agent they can call all the time. State Farm has a 24-hour claim service they can call 365 days a year, and then State Farm calls me to tell me what’s happened so that I can get over and take care of my customer.”

Adams concluded by saying he was pleased to be able to get a storefront downtown on Main Street, especially with the recent sidewalk project. “Manchester is a really small, tightknit community, and it has a lot of good things going on,” he said. “I know they’ve also talked about doing the building fronts in the next couple of years, and I’m planning to be involved in that; as well as anything else that is going to improve the community.”

After the new State Farm location opens on Jan. 1, 2013, the regular business hours will be MondayThursday, 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

USDA action during drought opened 2.8 million acres to haying and grazing Ag riculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced recently that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s measures to open conservation land to emergency haying and grazing during the 2012 drought freed up a record 2.8 million acres and provided as much as $200 million in forage for producers facing critical feed shortages.

Vilsack made the announcement during the national drought forum in Washington, D.C. co-sponsored by numerous federal agencies, governors’ associations and academic partners.

“The Obama Administration remains committed to doing everything it can to help farmers, ranchers, businesses, and local and county governments meet drought-related challenges,” said Vilsack.

“Now we know that the actions taken by USDA and other federal agencies at the

height of the drought provided much-needed flexibility during a difficult time. We also know that drought recovery is a longterm proposition, and we will continue to partner with producers to see it through.”

At the height of the 2012 drought, the Secretary announced expanded use of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres for haying and grazing including a twomonth extension for emergency grazing on CRP acres without incurring an additional CRP rental payment reduction. By providing this flexibility, USDA freed up forage and feed to benefit all livestock producers during a critical period, on top of additional USDA actions, including lowering the interest rate for emergency loans and working with crop insurance companies to provide flexibility to farmers.

reported to the Secretary today that roughly 2.8 million acres under 57,000 CRP contracts utilized the emergency haying and grazing

option, compared to just over 1 million acres in 2011. In 2005, producers utilized roughly 1.7 million CRP acres for emergency haying and

grazing, the previous record. USDA estimates of the gross value of forage provided in 2012 run from $140 million to $200 million.

Indiana Conservation Officers investigate Noble county snowmobile accident I n d i a n a Conservation Officer Andrew Harmon is investigating a snowmobile accident that occurred Dec. 27 in the 5500 block of East Baseline Road at 11 a.m.

Christopher W. Hackman, 57, was working on a 1999 Polaris 500 Indy Trail snowmobile in a garage to the west of his residence.

Hackman was sitting on the snowmobile when he started it.

Upon starting the snowmobile, the throttle stuck open, causing the snowmobile to accelerate out of the garage. The snowmobile traveled approximately 100 yards to the northeast, where it struck a small tree head on.

Hackman was thrown from the snowmobile upon impact with the tree. Hackman was treated on scene by Noble County EMS for a leg

injury. Hackman was then transported from the scene by ambulance to Parkview Regional Medical in Ft. Wayne for further treatment.

Harmon was assisted on scene by Noble County EMS, Noble County S h e r i f f ’ s Department, Albion Fire Department, and the Avilla Fire Department.

Updated Purdue Extension corn, soybean guide now available A popular Purdue Extension pocket reference guide for corn and soybean producers has been updated and is now available.

The 2013 Corn and Soybean Field Guide is an in-field reference to help farmers quickly identify and manage crop problems, such as weeds, diseases and insects.

The 324-page guide has information useful from planting to harvest and features color photographs and reference tables to help farmers make fer-

tilizer and pesticide application decisions.

Other topics include crop development, nutrient deficiencies, planting decisions, soil fertility and herbicide injuries.

Growers can use the guide to help them apply appropriate amounts of fertilizers for soil nutrient deficiencies or pesticides for pest management, which could save them money, said Corey Gerber, director of Purdue’s Crop Diagnostic Training and Research Center.

260-571-6637 • 7 & 10 Yd. Containers • Best Rates • Trash & Shingle Removal

Updates from last year’s guide include improved photographs and new information about soybean vein necrosis virus, which was first confirmed in Indiana in 2012.

Guides are available individually or in bulk from Purdue Extension’s The Education Store at http://www.the-education-store.com. The store also is taking orders for a second printing of custom covers that feature group or company logos.

Purdue Extension’s Corn and Soybean Field Guide has been in production since 1988. According to Gerber, the guide is applicable to regions outside of Indiana and the United States.

About 25 percent of sales are in Indiana, with the rest spread globally.
