Snowy owls in Indiana Seen this year in Wabash County, the Arctic birds are rare in Indiana

by Neil A. Case Snowy owls are erratic, unpredictable, rare winter visitors to Indiana. I’ve seen a snowy owl in Indiana twice. Each time, someone else saw it before I did. The first time, the spotter picked me up and took me to see the owl. The second time, a friend called and told me where it was, in his driveway and it stayed there long enough for my wife and I to drive to my friend’s home and see it. A snowy owl is about the size of a great horned owl. Its eyes are yellow like a great horned, but its head is rounded, without feather tufts like a great horned. It’s white, of course, named for its color, but the white is spotted with small arcs of black. The amount of black varies, females and immature birds having more than adult males. Snowy owls, when they come to Indiana and other states south of the Canadian border and to approximately the southern two-thirds of Canada, come from the treeless Arctic tundra. There they nest on the ground in the tundra vegetation. There they hunt, catch and feed on lemmings and other small animals. Lemmings have a cyclic pop-

ulation dynamic. Their numbers increase over a period of years, then drop suddenly and dramatically. When the lemming population crashes and winter comes, making lemmings that remain hard to find, snowy owls have a food shortage. That’s when many fly south. The southern movement of snowy owls is not a migration. Some fly south every winter but they haven’t any apparent winter ground. They wander. They’ve been seen and reported as far south as Virginia, South Carolina, Oklahoma and central California. But many snowy owls flying south only happens every four, five or six years, sometimes even longer. When it does it’s called an irruption. Owls are birds of the night. Not snowy owls, but most owls. Their home is north of the Arctic Circle where sun shines day and night through the summer. They have to hunt when the sun shines for at least half the year. Further, there are no trees, at least none of any size, and no brush, no place for birds as big as snowy owls to hide where they nest, which makes them birds of the open. When they travel south, they are

often seen sitting conspicuously on the ground, on ice, or perched on a fence post or a power l i n e pole.

One of those I saw was on a power pole, the other, as I said, in a driveway, on the ground. I’ve heard of other snowy owls in Indiana, and I’ve looked for some of them. When a snowy owl finds good hunting some place, it often stays for a several days, or it may return to an area on and off. But only the two have been there when I was looking for them. If I had gone to the Michigan City area, to the shore of Lake Michigan in winter, I would likely have seen other snowy owls. They are seen there almost every winter, but the weather along the shore of Lake Michigan in winter doesn’t appeal to me. Earlier this month I was notified of another snowy owl. Mrs. Tia Buckland and her husband returned to their home in Kendallville one afternoon and found a snowy owl perched on their telephone pole. They watched it for nearly three hours, until it flew, and Mrs. Buckland has photographs of it. She later called the local newspaper office, got my email address and sent me a message telling of the owl. She also sent her phone number and copies of her photographs of the owl. I called, told Mrs. Buckland the owl might return, and asked her if it did to please call me. She hasn’t called. Once again I missed seeing another snowy owl in Indiana.

L.I.F.E Center of Wabash to hold annual rally The L.I.F.E. Center of Wabash County will be holding their annual Rally for Life on Sunday, Jan. 19 at the Wabash Middle School auditorium. The program will begin at 2 p.m., followed by the walk to Falls Cemetery in commemoration of Roe vs. Wade. At the cemetery, ralliers will remember the children that have been lost to abortion, miscarriage or any other types of illness. The public is welcome to join this event. Recently, the L.I.F.E. Center has welcomed a new member, Penny. Penny’s main job is to help the center raise the funds needed for a new facility. The center has run out of space in their current location. They are currently working out of one room for their

consultations and ultra sounds. They are hoping to find a place that allows them enough room to multiple consultations and have a room for ultrasounds and also to house their Earn While You Learn program. Penny is a mannequin, with a growing “baby bump.” The bump will grow as donations for the new building come in and once the center reaches their goal of $100,000, Penny will “deliver” the funds for a new facility. You can check out Penny’s growing bump on the center’s Facebook page. The staff at the L.I.F.E. Center would like to thank everyone who has donated clothing items, diapers, wipes, money or prenatal vitamins.

They have been able to give out 3,912 items from the clothing room in 2013. This room is a vital part of their mission. Also in 2013, the center was able to perform 156 pregnancy tests and 85 ultra sounds. Without donations from gracious people, churches and companies in the com-

The Wabash County Farm Service Agency office is encouraging all producers in Wabash County that own or raise livestock of the importance of keeping accurate records of any losses that may have occurred during the recent storm. The records should include adequate proof that livestock deaths occurred as a direct result of the storm. The quantity and kind of livestock that died as a direct result of the eligible disaster event may be documented by purchase records, veterinary records, bank or other loan documents, rendering truck receipts or personal production records. Reports of loss should be filed with the local FSA within 30 days of the loss. The 2008 Farm Bill Act that created the Livestock Indemnity Program has expired. There is hope however that a new Farm Bill will restore the program and allow producers to be compensated for livestock losses caused by an eligible event. Producers with questions may call the Wabash County FSA office for further information. The phone number is 260-563-3145 Ext 2.

Berrys celebrate their 61st anniversary Jim and Rozanne Berry celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary on Friday, Jan. 10 at Autumn Ridge, where Jim has lived for four years within their Auguste’s Cottage Memory Care Center, located at 600 Washington Street. Their family, other residents and staff helped them celebrate. Jim grew up in Bellemore, Ind. and Rozanne grew up in nearby Rockville. The couple attended Rockville High School together, and the two were introduced by Rozanne’s friends, who were impressed by Jim’s position as captain of the basketball team. After being introduced by friends, the couple agreed to meet at a small

restaurant in Rockville on a Saturday night. After their first date, Jim and Rozanne were instantly inseparable. Once Jim finally convinced Rozanne to ride in his car, and many more Saturday nights spent together in downtown Rockville, Jim asked Rozanne to marry him. The couple exchanged their vows on the evening of Jan. 10, 1953, in a little church built on Jim’s grandfather’s farm in Bellemore. Rozanne will never forget how embarrassed she was after the ceremony when Jim’s brothers took the newlyweds into Rockville and made Jim push Rozanne around the town square in a wheelbarrow.

before and fell in love with the town. A visit with her mother, a Wabash resident, inspired Snyder to open a resale shop with her husband. Snyder and her mother would often visit thrift shops together, and she wanted to bring some of that passion to Wabash. The store’s name came from Snyder’s 9year-old black lab, Stella. “I never had any girls, and I always wanted to use that name, so I named my dog Stella,” Snyder told The Paper. Recently, Snyder’s friend, Christine Napier, has come in to help the design side of the store. “Tammy is good with the business side and I am good at the fu fu stuff,” said Napier. “So she can be taking care of the business and I can mess with the flowers.” Snyder buys her inventory at auctions, store closings and liquidations. Stella’s offers a variety of items, including men’s, women’s, kids’ and babies’ clothing. There are knickknacks, framed wall art, tablecloths, blankets and some furni-

It is our hope that all that participated in the Christmas Angel Tree project in the North Manchester community have been blessed as they donated their time, energy and money to help make it a special Christmas for many. Thank you for caring. COMMON CORE BOOK AUTHOR TO SPEAK IN WABASH JAN 27: Dr. Terrence O. Moore, author of a just released book on Common Core, will be the guest speaker at the monthly meeting of the Citizens Committed to the Constitution (C3) on Monday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. at Bachelor Creek Church in Wabash. All teachers, administrators, students, parents, grandparents and interested citizens are encouraged to attend. What is the Common Core? How will the Common Core English Standards affect the teaching of great stories in our schools? What are the real purposes behind the educational coup that has taken place with very little public debate and even less understanding? In this book, school reformer and professor Dr. Terrence Moore carefully examines both the claims made by the

architects of the Common Core and the hidden agenda behind the so-called reforms that have been adopted by over forty states in the nation, with very few people understanding what is really going on. Moore not only challenges the liberal aims of this educational regime, but also actually analyzes lessons recommended in the Common Core English Standards and in the new textbooks bearing the Common Core logo. Admission is free. Meeting location is 2147 N State Road 15. For additional information, call 765-

Squires’ balance too much For Warriors by Gary Andrews The Manchester boys’ basketball team played the lone county game Friday, hosting North Miami. Putting eleven players in the scoring column the Squire depth was too much for the Warriors as Manchester cruised to a 70-39 home win. North Miami would get their only lead of the night on the first shot of the game when Damon Gipson hit to give the Warriors a 2-0 lead. The North Miami lead was short lived when Chase Fierstos drained a three and was followed by a bucket from Claudell Dickantone to give the Squires a 5-2 lead. North Miami would hang with the Squires early as Alex Borse traded buckets with Braydon Sewell and

Manchester led 10-8 when Fierstos banged home a three at the buzzer to give the Squires a 13-8 lead after one. Borse and Colton Ferrand would score early in the second for North Miami and the Warriors were trailing just 15-12 when Claudell Dickantone went to work. Dickantone would hit three straight free throws and was followed by Lucas Schilling with a bucket before another Dickantone bucket finished a 7-0 run to put the Squires up 2212. After a Keith Rouch bucket Dickantone’s next two buckets would be from behind the arch to increase the lead to 28-15. Damon Gipson and Cameron Brandenburg would trade buckets and

Manchester led 29-17 at the half. Coming out of the locker room the Squires would erase any thoughts of a Warrior comeback. Clayton Petrie got things going with a three and was followed by Chase Fierstos draining a three and getting a bucket on an offensive rebound to boost the lead to 20 at 37-17. Keith Rouch would stop the Manchester run with a bucket before the Squires took off again. Claudell Dickantone and Clayton Petrie would trade back and forth for the next five buckets and were followed with buckets from David McAtee and Cameron Brandenburg to cap off a 15-0 run to open a commanding 52-19 lead. North Miami

would out score Manchester 6-2 the last 1:26 as the Squires led 54-25 with a quarter to go. Petrie again would start the quarter with a three as the Squires shuffled players in and out, with seven different players scoring in the quarter on their way to the 70-39 win. Keelan Norwood led the Squires in the quarter with 4 points. Leading Manchester was Claudell Dickantone with 22 points. Clayton Petrie added 12, Chase Fierstos 11, C a m e r o n Brandenburg 5, Braydon Sewell 4, David McAtee 4, Keelan Norwood 4, Phoenix Goad 2, Branden Scott 2, Lucas Schilling 2, Bailey Ness 2. Keith Rouch led North Miami with 14

points. Alex Borse added 8, Evan Sumner 6, Damon Gipson 4, Dakota Ribble 4, Colton Ferrand 2, Jacob Stiver 1. ”Great team defense. Great team offense. It was a nice team effort on both sides of the ball,” said Coach Thompson of his team. Manchester won the junior varsity game 55-11. Zach Hill and Bailey Ness led the Squires with 9 points each. Levi Hicks and Austin Brewer had 7 points each. David McAtee added 6, Matthew Pegg 5, Keelan Norwood 5, Braxtin Wilson 5, Janzin Cripe 2, Jake Schannep 2.

Lady Squires fall in free throw fest by Gary Andrews The Manchester girls basketball team visited North Miami Saturday looking for their first win of the season and led by 10 heading to the fourth quarter, only to fall to the Warriors 54-53. The game could never find a flow, as a whistle was blown nearly every trip down the floor, with a combined 38 free throws made, which included 17 by North Miami in the fourth quarter to complete their comeback. The Lady Squires got the first lead of the game when Drew Thompson got things going with a three that was answered by 9 straight points from North Miami to go up 9-3. The Squires would then get a bucket from Tabby DeWitt, a free throw from Cierra Carter and a deuce from

Thompson to cut the Warrior lead to 9-8. North Miami’s Allison See would then drain a three that was answered with a bucket by Carter and Manchester trailed 12-10 after one. The second quarter would consist of two runs. North Miami made the first run that was 7 straight to jump out to a 19-10 lead before the Squires took their turn. Thompson would hit her second three pointer of the game that started a 10point surge to give the Lady Squires a 20-19 lead at the half. During the run Tabby DeWitt hit three free throws, Thompson hit a two and Sydney Snep scored on an offensive rebound. Drew Thompson would get the Squires going to start the third on a three point-

123

er from the corner that ricochet off the side of the board, caught the rim and bounced in to give Manchester a 23-19 lead. Behind Emmy Grant and Carlee Lefebvre North Miami kept it close and eventually tied the game at 25. The Squires would then make a move that that put them in position to pick up their first win. Tabby DeWitt and Brooklyn Howard would hit back to back before a Marias Davis bucket made it 29-27. The Squires would then hit four straight, which included a bucket from Howard right before the buzzer and led 37-27 with a quarter to go. The fourth quarter went to a snails pace as a foul was called nearly every possession with 26 total free throws being made, 17

by North Miami as the Warriors blazed the net from the stripe, taking advantage of every Squire miscue to escape with a 54-53 dramatic comeback win over the Lady Squires. Tabby DeWitt led Manchester with 21 points, 12 rebounds, 1 steal. Drew Thompson had 13 points, 2 steals, 1 assist. Brooklyn Howard had 6 points, 2 steals, 1 assist. Sydney Snep added 4 points, Kaitlyn Parrett 3, Cierra Carter 3, Rae Bedke 2, Ellie Milam 1. Makenna Brown led North Miami with 14 points. Allison See added 12, Carlee Lefebvre 11, Emmy Grant 10, Karrisa West 3, Alicia Tooley 2, Megan Lefebvre 2. Manchester fell to North Miami 49-44 in the junior varsity game.

This week at the commissioners meeting by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com At the most recent commissioners meeting, held on Jan. 13, the commissioners elected their chairman and vice chairman for the new year. District 2 Commissioner Scott Givens was elected to be the Chairman of the Wabash County Commissioners for 2014. District 1 Commissioner Brian Haupert was elected to be Vice Chairman of the Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners for 2014. Several appointments for 2014 were made as well, including: Cameron Lochner – Veteran Service Officer; Brian Haupert – Region III-A Board of Directors; Scott Givens – Tax A b a t e m e n t Committee; Claude Markstahler – Laketon Area Regional Sewer District Board; Brian Haupert – Economic Development Group Board of Directors; and Jean Gilbert – Public Defender Board. The commissioners approved two building permits presented by County H i g h w a y Superintendent John Martin, as well as two road cut permits. Martin also presented a request from the City of Wabash to purchase equipment from the County H i g h w a y

Department that is not currently being used, including two sander units and a pickup truck. The commissioners approved the sale of these items to the city for a total of $6,900. Sheriff Bob Land reported that there are currently 87 inmates at the Wabash County Jail, as well as 20 being housed in Miami County. He also reported that the Sheriff ’s department took 335 more calls in 2013 than they did in 2012, and that there were 108 more 9-1-1 calls this past year. He also reported that there were more theft, battery, and burglary reports in 2013 than there were in the previous year, and that the department had done well in handling the increase, even with a reduced staff. Newly appointed Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Agency Director Keith Walters had a busy start to the new year as he and his team responded to Winter Storm Ion. Walters reported that he had 8 volunteers put in a collective 185 hours last week to manage the effects of the storm. He also suggested removing the travel advisory, which was approved. County Planning Director Mike Howard presented a contract for an or thophoto g raphy

order placed with the Indiana State Wide Imagery Program, an order approved by the commissioners in November. Orthophotography is a type of aerial imaging. Much of the cost of this service is paid for by the state, but each county must contribute the balance. Wabash County will pay $41 per square mile for the service, a total of $17,265.10 for the entire county. C o u n t y Coordinator Jim Dils presented a bid comparison for preventative maintenance on the jail’s emergency generator. The commissioners approved a three-year agreement with the lowest bidder, NovaTech, at $2,374.45 per year. The commissioners approved the payment of 2014 dues to the Association of Indiana Counties, The Indiana Association of C o u n t y Commissioners, and Region III-A E c o n i m i c Development. Finally, the commissioners received bids for Wabash County reassessment contracts, which were taken into advisement. The Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners will hold their next meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 21, as government offices will be closed on Monday, Jan 20 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

THE PAPER 14 Goff declares candidacy for reelection as judge of Wabash Superior Court www.thepaperofwabash.com

Dear Editor, I am declaring my candidacy for reelection as Judge of the Wabash Superior Court. I am seeking the Republican Party nomination. It has been my honor to serve as Judge since 2005 when I was appointed by the

January 15, 2014

Governor. I was later elected, by the people of Wabash County, in 2008. Since that time, I have striven to be fair, efficient, and effective in my service. I hope that the citizens of Wabash County will consider the following highlights of my serv-

ice as Judge. In terms of fairness, I have worked cooperatively with other local office holders, and service providers, to establish a variety of programs including: Wabash County Drug Court; Wabash Superior Court

20736

28 E. Hill St., Wabash

123

Alternative Batterer’s Program; and Wabash County Family Drug Treatment Court. All of these programs combine intense, prolonged supervision and treatment of participants. The goal is to bring about a lasting change, which enables the participant to become healthy and productive. Wabash County has truly become an innovator in this area; as we are among only a handful of Indiana counties to have a Family Drug Treatment Court. Wabash County’s programs are also unique in that they have been organized and operated utilizing existing staff; thereby resulting in no additional expense to the community. All of these programs promote fairness because they provide people with a real chance to help themselves out of difficult situations. They have been successful, both in terms of improved outcomes for participants and cost savings to our community. Seeing people success-

fully complete such programs has been very satisfying. We have actually had past Drug Court graduates attend current Drug Court graduations because they are the new graduate’s employer. It is just amazing to see people overcome serious personal challengers and to realize their full redemptive potential. I am humbled to have had the chance to be a part of some of these successes. In terms of efficiency, our local Judiciary resolves a large volume of cases in a very efficient manner. According to the Indiana Supreme Court’s Division of State Court Administration, Wabash County Courts were recently measured as the 24th highest utilized among Indiana’s 92 counties; and Wabash County Courts generate more revenue than they cost to operate. The Wabash Superior Court has recently absorbed the North Manchester Town Court, which ceased to exist. This

was accomplished with no additional expenditures. There are literally thousands of cases filed in the Superior Court each year and the Court usually resolves more cases per year than are filed. This work is accomplished with only two and one-half support staff; I appreciate their hard work very much. I also want to acknowledge all of the hard work that is done in the Circuit Court by Judge McCallen and his staff; as the Circuit Court’s caseload is heavier than the Superior Court’s. In terms of effectiveness, I try to give each case I consider my best work. I research issues thoroughly and write my own opinions. I think that this is important because each case is the most important case in the world to the parties involved. Although, it could happen at any time, I am proud of the fact that, after over eight years on the bench, I have not had a decision overturned on appeal. I believe that this record of service

demonstrates my commitment to the rule of law. In recent years, I have also been given the opportunity to assume some larger roles within Indiana’s Judiciary and to represent Wabash County on a statewide level. I have served as faculty for the Indiana Judicial Center at statewide training for new trail court employees, new judges, and senior judges. I have been elected by the Judges of Wabash, Huntington, Wells and Adams Counties to represent them on the Board of Directors of the Indiana Judicial Center. I have also been appointed by the Chief Justice of Indiana to serve as Chairman of the Protection Order Committee of the Indiana Judicial Center. I am very thankful for the opportunity to serve Wabash County as its Superior Court Judge. My parents are regular people; Dad still works as a maintenance man at Living Essentials and Mom still works as a teacher’s aid for MSD. I am very proud of them both and thankful for all of the sacrifices that they made for my sisters and I. When I was younger, I never thought that I would have the chance to serve as Judge and, now that I have been given the opportunity, I try to make the most of it everyday. I hope that the voters of Wabash County will consider these things. I wish to express my appreciation for the support of my family, especially my wife Raquel and our four children; Ana, Danny, Eva and Isabel, and also my extended family. I am also very thankful for my church family at Wabash Friends. I also wish to express my appreciation for all those who supported my campaign in 2008, including (but certainly not limited to): Dan Vanderpool, Cindy Street, Mark Hobbs, Mark Guenin, Bob Fuller, Ted Little, Dave Metz, Matt Rebholz, Rick Baker, Greg Tomlinson, Fortunato Carrillo, Jr., Don Goff and Carolyn Biltz. This year, my election committee will be chaired by Dr. Eric Dale and Paul McCann will serve as Treasurer. Other members include: Clint Kugler, Phil Boone and Ryan Rosen. Sincerely, Christopher M.

THERE MAY BE A LOT of snow now, but a look back to the Blizzard of ‘78 can put this into perspective for many of us. The Blizzard of ‘78 began on Wed., Jan. 25 and ended on Fri. Jan. 27, dumping a record 26 to 28 inches of snow in three days.

THE PAPER

January 15, 2014

Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative to hold field days at the end of January On Jan. 29, farmers, agronomists and others interested in soil health improvement will have an opportunity to attend a Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI) field day near Vincennes. On the following day, Jan. 30, high school students are invited to take part in handson soil health demonstrations. Mike Brocksmith, field day host and one of 12 CCSI farmers, feels strongly that cover crops and soil health synergies are the missing link in protecting, rebuilding, and enhancing soil resources. “The average farmer only gets to manage about 40 cropping seasons.

Improving soil health is a long term process, you don’t just decide you want healthy soil and flip a switch or throw some dollar bills out there and have healthy soil.” said Brocksmith. “Improving soil health is a marathon, not a 100 yard dash. The time to start is now.” The field day, scheduled for Jan. 29, will focus on providing farmers and crop advisors with tools to adopt and evaluate practices that can lead to improved soil health as well as avoid costly mistakes. To better understand the slug infestations that plagued many Midwest growers in 2013, Dr. Ron Hammond, Ohio State

University, will discuss slug research and control. To better understand the differences between the newer “soil health” tests, Dr Mary-Jane Orr, Purdue Agronomy Research, will discuss the four commercially available tests being utilized by the CCSI. Other presentations at the Jan. 29 event include: *How to set up replicated strip trials to evaluate systems; *planter, combine, and other equipment modifications and adjustments; *avoiding chemical drift “I was shocked to learn about some costly damages to hardwood trees from early spring herbicide

How to prepare for tax time

Although some are ready to say their fond farewells to 2013, thought needs to be given to the 12 months that just passed as tax-filing season approaches. Tax season is a few months away, but it’s never too soon to begin preparations for filing income taxes. Some people prefer to toast the new year and then arrange appointments with their accountants, while others use the new year as an opportunity to get organized and start compiling paperwork and tax questions. Preparing for tax time at the dawn of a new year can make the process go more smoothly in the months ahead. Here are some tips on how to prepare for the upcoming tax season. *Start a documents folder. Employers, charitable organizations, banks and other financial institutions begin mailing out tax forms from the previous year in early January. Individuals should keep their eyes open for any mail that appears to be taxrelated. Store these documents in a folder that can protect any sensitive information. Such folders also make information more accessible as more and more docu-

ments arrive in the mail. *Begin collecting receipts and itemizing expenses. Many expenses are taxdeductible. These can include education costs, moving expenses, home improvements, medical expenses, charitable donations and childcare costs. Store receipts and other documentation, including canceled checks, with the other tax documents. These will come in handy should an audit ever be ordered. *Create a spreadsheet of important information. It is handy to have all financial information at the ready. Some accountants will lower their fees if people do some of the filing preparation work themselves. This can include creating a profit/loss statement on investments, or working up a tally of charitable donations. Make an itemized list of all pertinent information so it will be handy when tax-filing time arrives. *Decide on a filing option. Technology has made filing taxes much easier. Tax preparation software is available for those who choose to file their taxes themselves. There also are walk-in centers that

will prepare tax-filing d o c u m e n t s . Individuals also can visit a certified public accountant. Whatever method taxpayers choose, allow for ample time to gather information and get the taxes filed by the deadline. Leave some wiggle room in case one filing method doesn’t work out. *Start saving money. Although the goal is to get a refund each and every year, taxpayers sometimes owe money, which can be troublesome for men and women whose budgets are stretched thin already. Those who owed money in the past should begin saving money for tax expenses as early as possible. *Develop a good filing system. Many financial professionals will advise people to keep financial records for 7 years. Any tax documents should be kept together should they need to be referenced or if an audit is ordered. Designate a filing cabinet or a box specifically for tax documents. Tax filing season is right around the corner, and the dawn of a new year is a great time for men and women to start gathering documents and preparing their returns.

application, and spring of 2013 made it pretty obvious that we have a lot to learn about slug control,” said Lisa Holscher, CCSI. “This workshop is going to help both farmers and their advisors get a better handle on these issues - as well as get a better handle on what the new soil health tests are about.” Registration is required by Jan. 22 and may be completed online at www.Brocksmith2014. eventbrite.com or by calling the Knox County Soil and Water Conservation District at 812-882-8210

ext. 3. For the following day, Jan. 30, a separate event has been designed to help the next generation of farmers and other agriculture professionals get a jump start on their 40 seasons to improve soil health: Area high school students are invited to participate in a series of handson soil health experiments at Brocksmith Farms, followed by a tour of the Vincennes University. The Southwest Indiana NRCS Soil Health Team and CCSI staff will lead the demonstrations and discuss

career opportunities in conservation and agriculture fields with the students. The Jan. 30 event for students is free, however registration is required by Jan. 22. For more information or to register, contact Susan Brocksmith, Vincennes University Ag ribusiness Program Chair at 812888-5718 or sbrocksmith@vinu.edu The field days are presented as projects of the Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative, Brocksmith Farms, the Indiana Conservation P a r t n e r s h i p, Vincennes University,

Knox SWCD,m Sullivan SWCD, Daviess SWCD, and Pike SWCDs and the West Central Indiana Watershed Alliance.

Secretary of State Connie Lawson congratulates Wabash County on adoption of vote centers

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com Recently, Wabash County changed the format of its election process, opting for vote centers rather than polling places, as have been used in the past. Prior to this change, residents were confined to a single polling place, the location of which was based upon where each resident lived. The vote center model allows residents to place their vote at any of the vote centers, making the system much more convenient. “Congratulations to Wabash County on becoming the 14th vote center county in Indiana,” said Secretary of State Connie Lawson. “I believe voters will appreciate the convenience and potential costs savings the vote center model can provide.” The new system will allow residents to place their vote at whatever location is most convenient, whether that be near their home, near their place of work, on the way to an event, or wherever might be convenient at the time. “I know County Clerk Elaine Martin has worked hard to

develop a vote center plan that will serve the county well,” said Lawson. “I applaud her hard work as well as the leadership of all of the Wabash County leaders who worked to take advantage of this innovative opportunity.”

Parent Night on Monday, Jan. 27 at 6:30 p.m. in the M a n c h e s t e r Administrative Offices. Parents can bring

their students’ iPads to learn how to use E d m o d o , PowerSchool, Google Drive, Gmail, and more.

The free dental exam, vision screens, lead testing, and

booster shots will be available at round-up. This is the opportuni-

ty to meet requirements for attending school in the fall.
