Local residents share

New Year’s resolutions Emily Perkins “To start on the resolutions I made last year. I’ll have to go back and revisit my list, that’s all the farther I got last year.”

Emmett McIlvenny “Exercise more on a daily basis. Walk to work etc.”

Lindsey Schenkel “Think more before speaking. Sometimes I let my thoughts jump out there a little too quickly.”

Christine Flohr “I resolve to work out more at the Y.”

Jill Ross “My New Year’s resolution is to be kinder to people. I would also like to start a monthly meeting for local vegans. I’ve been a vegan since the 13th of July and I love it.”

Ali Van Buskirk “I’m getting married next summer so part of my resolution is just to be healthy and strong. Not just exercise more, but everything about me, continually improving, whether it’s my mind, body, spirit. And probably improving my attitude because sometimes it’s not always as positive as I would want it to be. Just to be bright and cheery and definitely someone that is a positive role model to others.”

Wendy Frazier “Mine would probably have to be to slow down. I need to slow down and take time to breathe. Just chill.”

Tracy Stewart “I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but I make a list of things I want to accomplish during the year. Not necessarily a specific resolution. My list is started: organize my photos at home, get things on the computer organized…”

Jody Livergood “To keep up with my schoolwork, and to go to bed earlier.”

Abby Hoy “To text less and call more.”

Brian Haupert “My resolution, because Tracy’s always after me all the time, is to let her know what my schedule is for the week, where I’m going to be. I also resolve to keep track of my coffee cup when I come in the door.”

Noelle Hunter “I made one last year to lose weight so I’m just going to do more of that. I was doing the Y this year and I lost 50 pounds, so this year I’m going to lose another 50.”

Howard Kaler “To fill up the rooms at Charlie Creek.”

Tie for the Annual Wabash Battle of the Badges

There was a tie for the Annual Wabash Battle of the Badges blood drive between the area law enforcement agencies and fire departments. Voting totals were 29 votes to 29 votes. During the one-day blood drive, 69 pints of blood were collected. “The donations at this year’s Battle surpassed what we collected last year,” said Tracy Duncan, communications manager for the IndianaOhio Blood Services Region of the

American Red Cross. “Because each donation has the potential to help save up to three lives, more than 200 lives could be impacted by the donations this year. We’re very pleased with that.” Congratulations to Dean Weaver and the Wabash City Fire Department, Charles Smith and the Wabash City Police Department, Bob Land and Connie Rich and the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department for the work they did to

recruit blood donors and help boost the blood supply this winter. The holidays are a critical time for blood collection. Donations often drop off because people are busy shopping, visiting family and making holiday plans. The need for blood never takes a holiday, though. Every two seconds, someone in America needs blood. In our area alone, 500 units of blood are needed every day to meet patient need.

Keeping grain in condition Management is required to keep grain in good condition once it is placed in storage. Because of differences in temperature between the grain in the bin and the outside air, air inside the bin migrates. With cold outside air, the air inside the bin moves downward along the outside wall and then upward toward the center of the bin. The air that comes up through the center of the bin will carry some moisture as it contacts the cool grain in the center of the bin. Moisture will

then condense and cause the grain in this area to go out of condition and crust over. The crusting will keep air from flowing through the mass of grain and making it impossible to keep the grain in condition. To prevent this problem, grain should be cooled to about 40 degrees F in the fall and warmed to about 60 degrees F in the spring. This will minimize migration of air through the bin. Check grain weekly. Use a grain probe and a thermometer to check the temperature by

probing below the surface of the grain in several places. Record these temperatures to monitor changes. Moving air through the grain can help in determining grain condition. If a musty odor is detected, problems may exist not detected by inspecting the grain or checking the temperature. If problems do occur, fans may need to be run to dry the grain. In some cases, grain may need to be removed from the bin. Covering the fan intake when it is not in use can pre-

vent air from moving through it and minimize insect and rodent problems. Should air be pushed or pulled through the bin? There is no right or wrong answer - it depends. If air is pushed through the grain, moisture is most likely to condense on the cold roof. This can cause some moisture problems with grain at the top of the bin. An advantage of pushing the air is if grain spoilage does occur, it will most likely be at the top of the bin and is easier to detect.

What are safe storage moistures? Grain Maximum Safe Moisture Content (percent) for Shelled Corn or Grain Sorghum is: Sold by spring, 15.5; Stored up to one year, 14.0; Stored more than one year, 13.0. For soybeans is it: Sold by spring, 14.0; Stored up to one year, 12.0. When air is pulled through the bin, the moist air coming off the grain can condense on floors and on grain near the floor. This can block ducts and plug the aeration system. If air is pulled air through the grain,

sold through November 2010. For the month, two-wheeldrive smaller tractor (under 40 HP) were even with last year, and 40 & under 100 HP were up 2 percent. Sales of two-wheeldrive 100+ HP were up 16 percent from last year, and four-wheeldrive tractors were up 20 percent for the month.

4 Changes impacting your taxes and this year’s refund from Uncle Sam www.thepaperofwabash.com

(ARA) In the way of tax legislation, 2011 was a relatively quiet year. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t tax law changes that will affect this year’s tax returns. “The changes

enacted at the end of 2010 will still impact this year’s and next year’s federal tax returns,” says T a x A C T Spokesperson Jessi Dolmage. “With the debate over the feder-

al budget and taxes unlikely to end any time soon, who knows if the soon-to-be expired tax breaks will be extended. So, take advantage of all your benefits while you still can.” Three out of four taxpayers receive a federal refund, and last year’s average refund totaled $2,805. To help you maximize your refund, here are some tax law changes you should know about before filing this year’s return. Your federal return must be filed by April 17, 2012. April 15 is a Sunday and Washington, D.C., is recognizing Emancipation Day April 16. Don’t use the extended deadline as an excuse to procrastinate, though. When you rush, you’re more likely to make mistakes that could cost you money and time. Furthermore, filing,

paying or providing information late will result in IRS penalties that have increased this year. - Amounts for standard mileage, standard deductions, personal exemptions and the Alternative Minimum Tax have increased. Note there are different standard mileage rates for miles driven before July 1 and after June 30. Details about all increases are in IRS Publication 17 at www.irs.gov. - Among the tax breaks available last year but expired for this year are the Making Work Pay Credit and Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit (unless it was a new fuel cell vehicle). The Making Work Pay Credit was essentially replaced by the payroll tax holiday for 2011. Employees and selfemployed already

received the tax benefit in 2011 paychecks through a reduction in the FICA-OASDI Social Security taxes. Unlike the Making Work Pay Credit, employees who benefited from the payroll tax holiday don’t need to claim it on this year’s tax return. - Unless lawmakers extend them, this will be the last year to claim the following breaks: Tuition and Fees Deduction, Nonbusiness Energy Credit, the refundable Adoption Credit, Educator Expense Deduction, option for those with itemized deductions to deduct state and local sales taxes paid in lieu of state and local income taxes paid and mortgage insurance premiums deduction. - The amount of the Health Coverage Tax Credit decreased to 72.5 percent for qualified health insurance

coverage received between March and December 2011. - If you converted a traditional IRA over to a designated Roth IRA in 2010, or rolled over a qualified retirement plan to a Roth IRA, but did not report the taxable amount on your 2010 tax return (due April 2011), you must report half of the amount on this year’s return and the other half on your 2012 return. Details are available in IRS Publication 575. With so much of your hard-earned money at stake and our complex tax law, it’s no wonder a growing number of Americans use tax preparation solutions. “Trusted solutions like TaxACT navigate all the tax law changes for you to help maximize your refund, file a return that’s 100 percent

accurate and provide help when you need it,” says Dolmage. When choosing a tax preparation solution, especially free products, Dolmage warns you to carefully weigh your options. “TaxACT Free Federal Edition covers all 1040 returns, but other free programs are only for 1040EZ returns, sometimes referred to as ‘simple returns’. The nearly nine out of 10 taxpayers who have more complex returns don’t qualify for those.” For information about these and other tax law changes affecting this year’s tax return, visit www.irs.gov and www.taxact.com/taxinfo.

How to care for your amaryllis Amaryllis is a popular holiday gift plant but may have the lucky recipient wondering about its proper care. Amaryllis is a tender bulb that won’t survive outdoors even in the mildest of Indiana winters. But it can be grown indoors to provide a dramatic show of color during dreary winter months. The showy flowers range from crimson, scarlet, rose, lavender, white or bi-colored combinations. Although each plant may produce only one cluster of two to four blooms, individual blossoms can reach

up to 8 inches in diameter at their peak. The flowers are borne on a tall, stout stem about two feet tall. Amaryllis is commonly sold as a potted plant in full bloom or as a bulb kit for growing your own. For plants already in bloom, the flowers will last longer if you keep the plant in a cool location around 65 degrees F. Warmer conditions may cause the flower stalks to become weak and require staking to support the weight of the blossoms. If you received an amaryllis bulb kit, you just might have blooms in time for Valentine’s Day! The bulbs will have been rested and pre-chilled by the greenhouse grower so that they will be ready to grow and bloom at home. Bulbs should be pot-

ted in containers that are only a little larger in diameter than the bulbs themselves. Be sure containers provide drainage so excess water can escape. Pour a layer of good-quality potting soil mix into the bottom of the container and place the bulb so that the pointed end is facing up. Water thoroughly to establish good bulb-to-soil contact. Then place in a sunny windowsill in a cool location, preferably 55-65 degrees F. The plants should bloom in six to eight weeks. After the flowers fade you can keep amaryllis as a houseplant to re-bloom next year. Cut the faded flower stalk off at its base, place near a sunny window, and water and fertilize as you would other houseplants. After all

danger of frost is past in the spring, you can plunge the pot into the soil outdoors in an east- or west-facing location. Late in summer as the leaves begin to yellow, gradually cut back on watering until the leaves fade completely and the soil is dry. At this time, the bulb should be dormant. Dig the pot out of the ground and bring it back indoors. Keep the bulb in its pot and store in a cool, dark location about 40-55 degrees F. Amaryllis do not require as much of a chilling period as do many other flowering bulbs, but they do require a period of cool, dry dormancy. After about two months of rest, water the soil and set the pot in a sunny window and resume normal care.

GREG BRADFORD has accepted the position as postmaster of Somerset Post Office. He had previously served as postmaster of Liberty Mills. He joined Somerset on Dec. 10, following the retirement of longtime postmaster Boots Jack. (photo by Danielle Swan)

Somerset welcomes new postmaster by Danielle Swan DSmith@thepaperofwabash.com

Following the retirement of longtime postmaster, “Boots Jack”, Somerset Post Office was under the supervision of an officer in charge (OIC), but as of Dec. 10, Greg Bradford has become the official postmaster. Bradford, a North Manchester resident, served in the United States Air Force from 1978 until 1994. During that time, he traveled to all areas of the world. “I retired when President Bush was drawing down the forces and reducing the size of the military,” Bradford said. “I had the opportunity to retire, so I did.” Bradford and his wife of 33 years, LuAnn, have a son and a daughter. He also serves as part-

time pastor at Liberty Mills United Methodist Church, and has for the past five years. This is not Bradford’s first position with the United States Postal Service. He had previously served as postmaster of Liberty Mills Post Office. He enjoys the social aspect of serving as postmaster in a small community. “It’s fun getting to deal with the public and getting to talk to everybody and getting to know everybody,” he said. “I only knew one person when I came here and I didn’t even know I knew him until he walked in one day and I saw him, but I’m getting to know people and I enjoy it.” Although the Somerset Post Office is a 28-mile commute for Bradford, he appreciates the change of scenery

that the switch to Somerset Post Office provided. “It was open and I thought I would come down here,” Bradford said. “It was just a chance to move to another office and I like moving around.” “I just hope to keep the post office going from what Boots had and build it up, make it more knowledgeable, and let more people know it’s here and we’re here to serve the public. That is our job, to provide a service, and that’s what I’m here for,” Bradford concluded. The Liberty Mills Post Office is currently still open, under the supervision of an OIC, and in the review process for possible closure. Whenever a decision is made, a notice will be posted at the Liberty Mills Post Office.

State makes final attempt to save Healthy Indiana Program

Governor Mitch Daniels recently made a last attempt to save the Healthy Indiana Program (HIP), the state’s health insurance program for low-income citizens, which is scheduled to expire in 2012. In a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the gover-

nor requested the state be allowed to continue the program for as long as is allowed. The state wants to utilize HIP to provide health care services to approximately 500,000 Hoosiers who will be newly eligible for Medicaid in 2014 when the federal Affordable Care Act is scheduled for imple-

mentation. Currently, 50,000 Hoosiers participate in the program, and the state has made only minimal efforts to grow participation because of HIP’s uncertain future. “Our intent is to make HIP a permanent part of our Medicaid program. However, due to the delinquent release of

regulations, your agency was unwilling to respond to our original request to amend our State Medicaid Plan. This waiver submission is our final attempt to save the HIP program,” the governor wrote. Without approval of the request, the state will be forced to end coverage for current HIP participants and

would need to begin to shut down the program next summer. The HIP program opened to participants on Jan. 1, 2008, the result of bi-partisan legislation passed by the Indiana General Assembly, and after the state received permission from the federal government to move ahead with the plan.

HIP participants have Personal Wellness and Responsibility Accounts that they use for preventive health services. Contributions to the account are made by the state and participants, who are required to make a modest contribution not to exceed 5 percent of their gross

annual income. Coverage for preventive services of up to $500 annually is included. “HIP has proven to be far superior to a traditional Medicaid program. Over 99 percent of HIP participants who were surveyed would re-enroll in the program,” Daniels wrote.

In August, learning stations and online courses were provided for students at W h i t e ’ s Junior/Senior High School, many from Central Indiana, thanks to the Colt’s Peyback Foundation in Indianapolis. With a shared mission to “promote the future success of disadvantaged youth,” the Peyback Foundation is supporting White’s innovative online learning curriculum, known as CARP, or Credit Acceleration

and Recovery Program. The online program is designed to allow students to enroll in classes any time throughout the year and to provide them with the opportunity to gain or recover transferable credits. These changes in White’s school program provide greater flexibility to meet the students’ individual education needs. Along with a low student-to-teacher ratio and licensed teachers, the online program

has proven to be highly effective. During White’s pilot year in 2010, nearly 90 students were able to complete a total of 180 courses in half the time of traditional classrooms. Last year, White’s had two students who had dropped out of school and re-entered the online credit acceleration and recovery program. Both students completed their missing credits and graduated

in May. The early success of the program led to adding 80 learning stations to accommodate all of White’s students’ educational needs. White’s Residential & Family Services has served at-risk children and youth for over 160 years from its Wabash campus. Over the past 20 years, White’s established seven regional offices to better serve the needs of children and families across the state. In 1992,

White’s established a regional office in Indianapolis, offering foster care, adoptions, supervised visitation services, and parent training. Since 2006, White’s served over 850 children-from birth through 18 years of age-from the Indianapolis area.

Indiana Conservation Officers Coyne thanks community for investigate boating support of Holiday Food Basket Project accident on Clear Lake

I n d i a n a Conservation Officer Todd Lang is investigating a boating accident that occurred on Clear Lake in Steuben County Thursday afternoon. Anthony R. Forte, 38, Bristol, was fishing in an anchored canoe on Clear Lake. Mr. Forte leaned

forward to get some equipment, when his canoe began to rock from side to side in the choppy water. As the canoe began to take on water, Mr. Forte jumped out of the canoe, fearing that it was going to tip. Mr. Forte then tried to get back in the

canoe, causing it to take on more water and sink. He was able to get his life jacket and an additional flotation device and get to shore. Mr. Forte was transported to Cameron Hospital where he was treated for hypothermia.

Dear editor, I’m thrilled to be able to share with you and your readers that because of the generosity of this community and the blessing of God, Lighthouse Mission was able to provide 1,053 families (that’s 3,331 people, according to our records) with a Holiday Food Basket. Each basket (grocery sack, really) contained a five pound ham, a three pound turkey, 10 pounds of potatoes and a variety of groceries to round out the menu. Our goal is not to stock the pantry, but to provide holiday meals and we were able to do that again this year. I can’t find the right words to

express my thankfulness to all those who gave dollars and to all who gave of their time to unload the truck, pack bags and then carry bags to waiting vehicles in the rain. Without all of them, this project would only be an idea lying on my desk, so thanks to all of you! It wouldn’t have been possible without each one of you. Thanks also to my staff, who kept the store running while I scurried about with all the last minute details. This is a huge project, one that has grown tremendously over the years and one that, without the generosity of hundreds of donors, would not be possible.

Donors range from students and churches collecting peanut butter and jelly, Sunday school classes and churches giving mission offerings, families helping families, individuals and businesses sending checks and a grant from the C o m m u n i t y Foundation. Thank you for entrusting your dollars to us. Because of you, thousands had food for the holidays. Thanks to Christ Church for the use of their building, and Cheryl Rensberger and her team for providing lunch for all the volunteers on Carry-out Day; 46 signed in. Oh my, almost forgot to tell you, 162

volunteers came to pack the bags. An exciting part of the two days was the added Quilt Square Project. While most were packing or carrying out groceries, some were cutting squares out of old sweatshirts to be sewn into quilts later. All ages got involved, men and women, boys and girl, and it was a fun and very successful activity. Thanks again to all of you and my thanks to the editor for allowing me to express myself here. May God bless all of you for caring about those in need. Claire Coyne Lighthouse Mission

Smithfield to stop using gestation crates for pigs

Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s largest pork producer, recently said it plans to end the practice of keeping pregnant hogs at the company’s farms in small metal crates. The Smithfield, Va.based company, which has been criticized for continuing to breed sows in gestation crates that severely restrict the animals’ movement, said it will phase out the use of gestation crates at its facilities by 2017. By the end of this year, the company said that 30 percent of the sows at its farms will be in group housing rather than the crates. “(Our customers) want us to do that, and we’ve heard them loud and clear,” CEO Larry Pope said in a conference call with investors regarding its second-quarter financial results. “This company is going to do what’s in the best interest of the business and the best interest of our customers.” The company previously had been in the process of converting a number of its sow farms from individual gestation stalls to

group housing for pregnant sows by 2017, but Pope said it “took a two-year holiday” from that conversion in order to deal with the economic downturn the last few years. Smithfield’s livestock subsidiary produces about 17 million market hogs each year at about 460 hog farms in the U.S., but it is unclear how many of those are breeding farms. It also partners with

about 2,135 independent farmers and contract growers in the U.S. to raise hogs. In the practice that Smithfield is phasing out, female pigs are kept in gestation crates where they stay during their fourmonth pregnancies. Afterward, they are moved for about three weeks to a crate large enough to nurse their piglets before being artificially inseminated and placed back into the crates.

INDIANA STATE POLICE ALLIANCE (ISPA) provided funding for holiday gifts, which were delivered to struggling families from Cass and Howard counties. Employees of the Indiana State Police Peru Post were able to purchase and deliver the gifts to the families. (photo provided) Recently, employees from the Indiana State Police Peru Post were able to help struggling families from Cass and Howard counties by purchasing and d e l i v e r i n g Christmas gifts. Money for the holiday gifts was provided by the Indiana State Police Alliance (ISPA). The ISPA provided money to each Indiana State Police Post that identified struggling families in their district. The

names of families were submitted by troopers who saw a chance to help a family with children who were down on their luck during the holiday season. The money was provided as part of the ISPA “Cops for Kids” program, which was started in 1991. The ongoing program is an effort to make a positive impact on crime prevention by building relationships between police officers and children.

Through “Cops for Kids”, children, from toddlers to teens, witness first hand that their Indiana State Troopers are stalwart members of the community, committed to serving all citizens. State police employees purchased the gifts from area retailers. Half of the money was spent on clothing items, while the remaining amount was spent on toys.

The purchased items were then delivered by a trooper to the struggling family. “You never want to see a child go without toys or clothing, especially during Christmas,” stated Indiana State Police Sergeant Rick Brown. “I hope we helped make their holiday a little brighter.” For more information about the “Cops for Kids” program, call 1-800-382-1104.

construction of the new Casey’s General Store, and on Dec. 30 at 5 a.m., the wait was over. I was a little concerned about entering and exiting off of SR 114 until I saw there are options on both the east and west side for more convenience and in my opinion more safety. One of the differences between this gas station and the other gas stations that are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week may be its deli inside. The deli will be open all night long. Therefore, when you get a craving for a pizza at midnight or a desire for a submarine sandwich at 2 a.m., you know

where to go. C O N G R AT U L A TIONS: I would like to say congratulations to Nathan and Amy ( Va n l a n d i n g h a m ) Beal who exchanged their vows on Dec. 12. Also, a correction in the birthdays, when I listed Amy Va n l a n d i n g h a m ’ s birthday on Jan. 6, it should have been Amy Beal. Best wishes to you both, Nathan and Amy.

NORTHFIELD BAND BOOSTERS will be having a R i c h v a l l e y Tenderloin Supper on Jan. 13, 5-7 p.m., before the North Miami boy’s basketball game. Following the ballgame, the Key Club will be sponsoring a “Game Night” where students can play video games,

Rock Band, Corn Hole, etc. The game night will be held in the cafeteria, band room and choir room until 11 p.m. Christina Sapusek is the Key Club sponsor, if you have questions. SHARP CREEK DATES: Jan. 4 activity pictures will be taken and report cards will be sent home with students. Jan. 9 the Walking Club meets after school. Jan. 11 Indiana author/illustrator Bruce Langton will present a program to students. Mr. Langton loves art and children and combines these loves to teach children about art and what it takes to succeed as a professional artist through persistence. He starts his programs with an overview of why he enjoyed drawing as a youngster and how he started his career as an artist. He tells about the type of education he received before fulfilling his dream of becoming a fulltime artist. Next, he shares a slide show of his early and current paintings. The final minutes of his program are spent sketching a detailed drawing as children follow along step by step. The children, as well as the teachers, find this fun and exciting. A visit to his website will give you more information. Just Google Bruce Langton to take a look at the books he has written and illustrated and what other schools have said about the presentation.

perature gets below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. A horse acclimatized to cold weather, with a thick hair coat and fat cover, may not expend appreciably more energy until the temperature drops below 30 degrees Fahrenheit. As a general rule, a 1 percent increase in the energy requirements is needed to replace energy loss from the cold weather for each degree the temperature falls below the horse’s thermo-neutral zone (lower critical temperature). In other words, a horse manager would have to supply roughly two pounds more feed for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit below the critical temperature per day when horses are consuming typical hay and grain rations, a situation that is not practical.

horses fight the elements by using more energy to maintain body temperature. But while most people can address their own needs, horses are dependent upon their owners to provide proper nutrition and protection from the weather, said Dave Freeman, Oklahoma State University C o o p e r a t i v e Extension equine specialist. “The temperature below which a particular horse starts to expend additional energy for maintaining body warmth (critical temperature) will vary because of fat cover, hair thickness, acclimatization of the horse to cold, hair-coat wetness and wind chill,” he said. For example, a horse with short hair, exposed to wet, cold weather, may need significantly more energy when the tem-

“That’s why horses need to be preconditioned for cold weather by increasing fat thickness and body condition before the onset of winter,” Freeman said. Freeman cautions it is important to remember that a horse manager cannot just provide additional feed to offset loss of body condition. “Sudden changes in grain composition and amounts will increase the incidence of colic and founder,” he said. “It’s best to make adjustments in grain gradually over a period of several days, especially if horses already are consuming large quantities of grain.” Horse managers also should consider feeding large amounts of grass hay to horses restricted from forage. Free-choice hay helps horses exposed to cold weather, partly because of the heat generated by digestion and also as an aid to a continual, safe supply of nutrients. A concern with providing free access to hay is maintaining a fresh hay supply in ways which reduce hay waste. Large hay losses usually occur when round bales are placed on the ground in pens of horses. “Those who have elevated hay feeders large enough to hold round-bales need to

use them,” Freeman said. “No matter the method, hay exposed to wet weather for any length of time generally will require removal because of decreased palatability and potential problems resulting from horses ingesting moldy hay.” Another way horse owners can lessen an equine’s stress resulting from exposure to cold weather is to provide some form of shelter from wind, rain and cold. Some pastures provide enough natural protection that manmade shelters are not required. “Owners housing horses in areas unprotected from wet, windy weather should consider constructing windbreaks or sheds,” Freeman said. “The cost of windbreaks and sheds will be partially offset by savings in feed costs as a horse’s energy requirements lessen.” Freeman reminds owners to consider horse instincts and herd pecking orders when deciding on windbreak or shed design. Those areas housing one or two horses that are compatible with one another will allow for an enclosed shed with three or four sides. These structures should be similar in size to recommendations for stalls, a 10(continued on page 22)

Five ways to eat local throughout the year

(ARA) Fall is a great time for enthusiasts of fresh and local food. Farmers’ markets are overflowing with tasty produce at harvest time, and if you’ve worked long and hard on your home garden, it’s time to reap the rewards. Fresh food is harder to come by once the last leaves fall and the frost sets in, but there are still a number of ways you can keep your commitment to eating locally alive year-round. While getting fresh produce from nearby sources isn’t a yearround option for many Americans, it’s still possible to continue to enjoy healthy regional, seasonal food in a number of other ways. Whether it’s buying a basket of fresh tomatoes, green beans, or peaches, and canning or blanching and freezing them for future use, or dining at a restaurant that focuses on using local ingredients, it’s possible to continue your green dining habits throughout the year. Engaging people who are interested in living healthier and

greener, Good Housekeeping partnered with LG Electronics this fall on a “Living Greener” initiative, showing consumers across the country how to make the most of local produce and other healthy foods. The program encourages a greener lifestyle, providing consumers with tips and ideas for efficient products, such as LG’s new refrigerator. The refrigerator recently earned the Good Housekeeping Seal, and includes a Smart Cooling System that maintains superior humidity and temperature levels to help keep food fresh longer. And at 31 cubic feet, it has the largest storage capacity available in its class and can easily accommodate bushels of produce. S u s a n Westmoreland, food director of the Good Housekeeping Research Institute offers these tips to keep eating local even after the growing season is done: - Support yearround CSAs and farm-

ers markets. To join a Community Support Agriculture you pay a set amount of money for a portion of what the farm or group of farms produce, usually delivered every week or so. Farmers’ markets may feature meat, cheese and eggs in addition to colder weather vegetables that keep well, like winter squash and onions. Since both of these are relatively new concepts, you may not be fortunate enough to have both options in your neighborhood. Check out localharvest.org for more information. Then, embrace your luck, shop and eat well. - Make good use of your refrigerator and freezer. When you are bringing home a bunch of produce, you know the importance of finding space in your refrigerator to preserve the veggies you won’t use right away. But at the end of the season, a great way to make your veggies last longer is to blanch (cook in boiling water for 1 minute) then cool completely, bag and

freeze them for later use in stir fries and pasta dishes. To freeze berries, simply rinse and freeze in a single layer until hard, transfer to zip seal bags and freeze for desserts or add a handful to brighten any winter cereal bowl. - Can and preserve. Another great way to preserve your freshpicked produce for the colder months is to can, pickle or process it. Your surplus tomatoes can be turned to salsa or tomato sauce for winter and your bounty of cucumbers can be transformed into tasty dill pickles. For both freezing and canning, do some research to make sure you are safely preserving your food. In addition to some great books on the subject, Internet resources like the Daily Green are a great place to start. - Stock up on hearty v e g e t a b l e s . Vegetables like onions, potatoes and squash are not only some of the last to be picked during the growing season, but

also some of the heartiest and longest lasting produce available. Even if you don’t have a root cellar, you can extend the life of these vegetables even further by storing them in a cooler part of your home like the basement or a garage. - Patronize restaurants that focus yearround on the freshest, healthiest ingredients. These days, many restaurants aim to get as many ingredients as possible, from vegetables to fish and meat, from local sources. Visiting these restaurants is a great way to help sustain your local food industry. By firming up your

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE:

commitment to eating local throughout the year, you’ll help your local economy while also decreasing your carbon food print. And on top of it all, you’ll be rewarded with delicious meals for every season.

County teams take to the court in first day of Wabash County Tournament

by Gary Andrews It was a packed house at Northfield Dec. 29 to watch the varsity girls and boys basketball teams do battle in the Wabash County tourney to see who will play in the championship games to be held Dec. 30. As usual, in the tourney the teams did not disappoint the fans as they did battle to see who would have a shot at becoming county champs. Game one matched up the Northfield and Manchester girls. The two teams had met earlier in the year on Dec. 3rd with Manchester winning 61-47.

Manchester would take the early lead and stretch it to 7-1 before the Norse clawed their way back, taking the lead 8-7 on a Sidney Reed bucket and then finishing the quarter on a Reed three to give the Norse an 11-7 lead. The Norse, playing with Kylie Echard in the middle were playing much taller and surprising the Squires with their new look. Northfield would hold a three point lead most of the second quarter until Meika Kennedy drained a three to give the Squires their first lead since their first

score of the game. Manchester held a one-point lead until freshman Arie Kennedy converted a three-point play to give Northfield a 29-27 halftime lead. The third quarter was a low scoring affair, with Manchester out scoring Northfield 6-5, and trailed the Norse 34-33 after three. With the Norse still learning to win and Manchester being a veteran team, the Lady Squires calmly gained their composure, taking the lead for good at 38-36 and went on to win 49-44. Manchester was led by Hannah Schmidt

with 14 points. Kaylee Watson added 10. Sidney Reed led Northfield with 15 points. Kylie Echard had 12 and Sydney Eltzroth 11. This years format was girl, boy, girl, boy so it was time for the county metro battle between the Northfield and Southwood boys. No one could have expected what was about to happen as the Norse totally dominated the Knights. Northfield, the defending county champs jumped on Southwood early and never looked back. Dustin Echard got things started for Northfield and then got help from three other players in the quarter to lead Southwood 12-2 after one. After a Connor Hobbs bucket, Northfield finished the quarter on an 8-0 run. Northfield would double up on the Knights in the second quarter, out scoring Southwood 14-7. Ryan Givens and Chad Glasscock led Northfield with 6 points each. Levi Sutton led Southwood with 3 points on a long ball. Northfield led 26-9 at the half. Hobbs would hit a three to start the third quarter, but the Norse had it clicking on all cylinders, led by Ryan Keaffaber’s 10 points and five players scoring to build the lead to 49-16 heading to the fourth. Northfield out scored Southwood in the fourth 16-12 for the shocking 65-28 final margin to advance to the final. Leading Northfield was Ryan Keaffaber with 17 points. Ryan

Givens had 16 and Chad Glasscock 12. For Southwood Connor Hobbs led with 9 points. Ross Phillipy and Levi Sutton added 5 points each. Game three was the battle of the brotherin-laws in coaches Brian Bassett and Scott Bumgardner, as the Southwood and Wabash girls teams battled. The Knights relied on their height and a

box and one defense on Kelsey Cromer, while the short handed Apaches, playing without Kyleigh Hampton and Sarah Puckett would rely on quickness. After an opening bucket from Apache Katelin Vogel, the taller Knights started to impose their strength and the Knights led 6-5 after one. Ana Marie Farlow had five of the Knights six points

and the Southwood defense held Cromer scoreless. Things started to heat up a little to start the second. After an Emily Murphy bucket, Cromer connected for the first time on a three to tie the score at 8. Katie Stouffer answered before freshman Claire Cromer drained her own three to give Wabash an 11-10 lead. (continued on page 18)

Where do U.S. presidential County teams... (continued from page 17) candidates stand on ethanol by Farming Business (Dec. 29, 2011) Just ahead of the Iowa Republican caucus, the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA)

released a voter guide on issues related to ethanol. IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw says the most important question is where the candidates stand

on the renewable fuels standard (RFS). “Especially with the ethanol blenders’ tax credit going away at the end of 2011, the renewable fuels standard is really the only policy we’re going to have in place to help fight the most-favored treatment that petroleum gets,” Shaw says. “I mean, most people forget that the petroleum industry will still be getting tax credits, even though we don’t.” And Shaw says that’s why it’s important to have a President who supports the RFS. “If Congress ever tried to get rid of it, or hurt it, a President can obviously veto those bills,” he says. “But there’s also waiver requests - so if we have a person who doesn’t like renewable fuels in the White House, they could

was Jaycee Wright, Amy Bowman and Ana Marie Farlow with six points each. The finale of the night was the Wabash and Manchester boys doing battle. The game started with the tale of two runs and caused one team to play catch up the rest of the night. Manchester would start the game going on an 8-0 run led by two three pointers from Derek Self. Down 8-0 the Apache offense picked up the pace and the pressure, going on a 21-0 run with six players scoring, led by Tyler Brewer with 10. Logan Brunn stopped the run with the last bucket of the quarter and Wabash led 21-10. The pace would stay fast and furious in the second. Manchester cut the lead to 23-19, but the balanced scoring of the Apaches took over with seven players scoring in the quarter and no one scoring more than four points. Brunn led Manchester with four and Wabash led 36-22 at the half.

The pace would stay fast coming out of the locker room with the Apaches winning the quarter 19-18. Brewer and Brunn would lead the way with Brewer scoring 8 and Brunn 9 in the quarter. Wabash led 57-40 after three. Manchester would not let up in the fourth, out scoring Wabash 18-15 but just didn’t have enough time to make a major run to get back in the game. Neil Underwood led the Squires with all 11 of his points in the quarter. Again, Wabash spread the wealth with five players scoring. Wabash went on to win 72-58 to earn the right to play in the championship game for the third year in a row. Leading Wabash was Tyler Brewer with 22 points. Landon Cole and Andrew Adamson had 11 points each. For Manchester, Logan Brunn had 20 points. Derek Self and Neil Underwood had 11 points each.

Winter farmers markets expand Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan recently announced that the number of winter farmers markets is increasing. According to the updated National Farmers Market Directory, since 2010, the number of winter markets has increased 38 percent, from 886 to 1,225. These winter markets also account for nearly 17 percent of the nation’s 7,222 operating farmers markets (Note: The reported number of farmers markets has been updated since August 2011). “Consumers are looking for more ways to buy locally grown food throughout the year,” said Merrigan. “Through winter markets, American farmers are able to meet this need and bring in additional income to support their families and businesses.” Farmers markets operating at least once between November and March are considered winter farmers markets. The top 10 states for these markets are:_New York 180, California 153 137, Pennsylvania 78, North Carolina 73, Ohio 50, Maryland 48, Florida 46, Massachusetts 43, Virginia 40, and Michigan 33. The expanded adoption of hoop house technology, which has enabled many smaller growers to extend their production seasons at low cost, has been a contributing factor to the growth of winter farmers markets. Hoop houses have allowed growers to produce locallygrown products for longer time periods and in colder climates. USDA provides support to farmers markets through numerous programs, including AMS Specialty Crop Block Grants Program and Farmers Market Promotion Program. The agency also sponsors its own indoor

farmers market during the winter months at USDA’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. The market features local products such as fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, eggs, honey, herbs, handmade soaps, baked goods and more.

If you have the luxury of choosing both elements to match, your design job will be easier. But if you’re committed to the cabinets you already have, then consider countertop materials that are timeless and universal, like granite or marble.

horses or bands of horses with large ranges in horse dominance orders. “An enclosed, sided structure may increase horse injury to horses on the low end of the herd dominance order by the more dominant horses,” Freeman said. “This type of structure may be inefficient because dominant horses will keep others from having access.” Freeman recommends single-sided windbreaks with a top cover be used in herds with a dominance problem. “Also owners should consider two

or three of these structures spread about the area because one long, continuous structure is easily guarded by dominant horses,” he said. “Structure dimensions will depend on the degree of herd dominance problems.” In situations where aggressive behavior becomes such a problem that horses need to be separated, horses on the low end of the herd order generally will need more shelter because they are the ones that are usually in the least favorable body condition.
