North Central Cooperative announces recent merger

by Danielle Smith On Jan. 7, Wabash residents convened on the steps of the Wabash County Courthouse to show their unwavering support of the nativity scene, which is annually displayed on the courthouse lawn. This event was prompted by a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Madison, Wis., to the Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners. The letter stated that a concerned taxpayer of Wabash County had made a complaint about the religious symbol being displayed on government property. In response, 170 concerned taxpayers of Wabash County attended the rally to sing, pray and speak their mind in the 24(continued on page 14)

with Fremont Co-op, Fremont, Mich., combining the operations of the two farmer-owned grain, farm supply, and energy cooperatives. The new company is doing business as North Central Co-op and the headquarters remain in Wabash, located at 2025 S. Wabash Street. Darrell Smith, North Central’s CEO, was selected as the CEO of the newly merged cooperative. “Our intent is to grow,” said Smith, “and when we grow we want to look at someone that is very similar in operations to what we are. They (Fremont Coop) are primarily a supply company – very similar to what we are; they service agriculture and they’re basically in everything we’re in except LP. The process begins when the two companies start talking for one reason or another, but it’s got to be a win for both organizations – each has to take away a positive.” NCC Sales and Marketing Manager Ron Pettet added, “They’re a very sound company financially. Their board of directors came to our board of directors and, after meeting, both saw the benefits of working together. We are alike in our supply business, and also the way we treat our

One aspect of its mission is to generate adequate earnings to provide for future growth, to service equity, and to maintain an economically sound organization. “We at North Central look out for our stockholders,” Smith explained. “We want to be sure that any type of merger or acquisition that we have is very positive for our stockholders. I think the biggest benefit our stockholders will see is that we continue to strengthen our balance sheet. Our balance sheet has never been as strong as what it is today; we’re paying a good patronage each year, we’re revolving equity,

and we certainly intend to continue [these trends] as we go forward. This is one way to actually service each of those purposes.” NCC was formed in 1987 as the result of a merger between Wabash County Farm Bureau Cooperative, Inc., and Kosciusko County Farm Bureau Cooperative, Inc. The “North Central” name was selected because of its correlation to the region of the state being served without specifically

identifying with either county. “It wasn’t that long ago that all of these were individual county co-ops,” Pettet said. “Since 1987, North Central has grown from a two-county coop into what it is today, which includes facilities in 21 counties scattered across our trade area. North Central is headquartered in Wabash but we have numerous facilities scattered across northeast Indiana that provide energy products, feed,

and crops products to farmers and customers alike.” Smith added, “We’re proud of our organization and we’re proud of what we’ve been able to do as far as paying a patronage on a consistent basis and revolving equity. If you talked to someone back in the ‘80s they didn’t really think we would ever revolve equity, but in the last four years we’ve revolved approximately $4 million of equity out to the

farms and distributed over $6 million in cash patronage and new equity. The company is very strong financially and has been able to do a lot of growth that we wouldn’t have been able to do as an individual cooperative.” The website for Fremont Co-op states that during the company’s 94 years it has changed with the needs of area farmers and the agricultural community. It further acknowledges that (continued on page 7)

Stimulus package expires, citizens experience increase in federal withholding

by Danielle Smith County Coordinator Jim Dils informed the Wabash County Commissioners at their Jan. 10 meeting that the flags at Wabash government sites have been lowered to half-mast in deference of the Arizona tragedy that occurred Jan. 8. Fourteen were wounded and six were killed by alleged shooter, 22-year-old Jared Loughen. Among the wounded was United States Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who remains in critical condition. Dils also alerted the commissioners that employees would notice an unexpected decrease in net earnings on their next paycheck. He explained the complicated matter by saying that the Making Work Pay Tax Credit, part of the 2009 Stimulus Package passed by President Obama, expired on Dec. 31, 2010. This tax credit provided an average of $15, and possibly as much as $30, in each paycheck for a single person. Wabash County Auditor Jane Harper Ridgeway confirmed the change with Brent Dawes, CPA. “In terms of tax, people are going to see their social security tax go down,” Dils said. “But they are going to see federal taxes go up, even with all of the hubbub of the (continued on page 7)

4 County businesses help at-risk children www.thepaperofwabash.com

More than 30 Wabash County companies rallied to help White’s Residential & Family Services during the 2010 business campaign. These business leaders gave to help White’s purchase a child transport vehicle for Wabash County. Made possible through the campaign, a new mini van will help White’s meet the transportation needs for the children and sibling groups in their care. “It’s great to see the business community come together to provide this wonderful resource,” said White’s V i s i t a t i o n Coordinator Brigid Templin. “This mini wan will allow us to take children to medical and educational appointments, therapy and court appointments. We will use it to pick up children in need of care and connect them with their foster families, as well as to reconnect them with their biological families through visitation. What an invaluable gift!” White’s annually

serves more than 450 at-risk children and families within Wabash County, addressing the needs of diverse abused, neglected and troubled children through emergency residential shelter, care, foster care, adoption, home-based services and independent living. Child abuse, neglect and abandonment are looming problems in Indiana, with over 20,000 substantiated cases each year. “As a non-profit organization,” said White’s CEO Dee Gibson, “White’s relies on support from individuals and businesses to continue many of our lifechanging services for children and families. Donors who give to White’s help impact and change young lives for good.” Mr. Gibson and White’s staff wish to express appreciation to the companies that took part in the 2010 Wabash County Business Campaign: Beacon Credit Union; Big R of Wabash; Cornerstone Veterinary Services; Daniel Croner, DDS;

U.S. does not have infrastructure to consume more ethanol The United States doesn’t have the infrastructure to meet the federal mandate for renewable fuel use with ethanol but could meet the standard with significant increases in cellulosic and next-generation biofuels, according to a Purdue University study. Wally Tyner, the James and Lois Ackerman professor of agricultural economics, and coauthors Frank Dooley, a Purdue professor of agricultural economics, and

Saddle Up For The-

Standard requires an increase of renewable fuel production to 36 billion gallons per year by 2022. About 13 billion gallons of renewable fuel was required for 2010, the same amount Tyner predicts is the threshold for U.S. infrastructure and consumption ability. “You can’t get there with ethanol,” said Tyner, whose findings were published in the December issue of the American Journal of Ag ricultural Economics.

Daniela Viteri, a former Purdue graduate student, used U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency data to determine that the United States is at the “blending wall,” the saturation point for ethanol use. Without new technology or a significant increase in infrastructure, Tyner predicts that the country will not be able to consume more ethanol than is being currently produced. The federal Renewable Fuel

Tyner said there simply aren’t enough flex-fuel vehicles, which use an 85 percent ethanol blend, or E85 stations to distribute more biofuels. According to EPA estimates, flexfuel vehicles make up 7.3 million of the 240 million vehicles on the nation’s roads. Of those, about 3 million of flex-fuel vehicle owners aren’t even aware they can use E85 fuel. There are only about 2,000 E85 fuel pumps in the United States, and it took more than 20 years to install them. “Even if you could produce a whole bunch of E85, there is no way to distribute it,” Tyner said. “We would need to install about 2,000 pumps per year through 2022 to do it. You’re not going to go from 100 per year to 2,000 per year overnight. It’s just not going to happen.” And even if the fuel could be distributed, E85 would have to be substantially cheaper than gasoline to entice consumers to use it because E85 gets lower mileage, Tyner said. If gasoline were $3 per gallon, E85 would have to be $2.34 per gallon to break even on mileage. There is talk of

increasing the maximum amount of ethanol that can be blended with gasoline for regular vehicles from 10 percent to 15 percent. But Tyner said that even if the EPA does allow it, the blending wall would be reached again in about four years. Tyner said advances in the production of thermochemical biofuels, which are created by using heat to chemically alter biomass and create fuels, would be necessary to meet the Renewable Fuel Standard. He said those fuels would be similar enough to gasoline to allow unlimited blending and would increase the amount of biofuel that could be used. “Producing the hydrocarbons directly doesn’t have the infrastructure problems of ethanol, and there is no blend wall because you’re producing gasoline,” Tyner said. “If that comes on and works, then we get there. There is significant potential to produce drop-in hydrocarbons from cellulosic feedstocks.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture funded Tyner’s research.

The freedoms which it guarantees are the values that many of our brothers-

Chamber to honor Yorks at Salute to Agriculture Banquet On Jan. 31, at 6:30 p.m., the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce will hold its inaugural Salute to Agriculture Banquet in the Wabash County REMC Touchstone Energy Center (Community Room). In an effort to recognize the contributions of the agricultural sector to both the economy and way of life of Wabash County residents, the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce has established this event and the Farm Family of the Year Award to honor those who represent the best qualities of a local farm family. Rural Roann residents Mark and Chris York have been selected as the foundational recipients of this award, to be presented during the banquet.

Mr. Turpin invites us to relive the days when outhouses, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coon hunting, telephone party lines, and school consolidations were a way of life, while utilizing humor to inspire us as we face a new millennium of agriculture.

Following the entertainment, Chamber President Kimberly Pinkerton will present Mark and Chris York with the Farm Family of the Year Award, and attendees will enjoy a brief video highlighting the York family agriculture operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The York familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to the agriculture industry is evident in their operations as well as their service in organizations such as Indiana Pork, Wabash County Farm Bureau, Wabash County 4-H and other groups,â&#x20AC;? said Pinkerton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have continued to educate others about modern livestock production and where the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food begins. The Yorks work diligently to broaden support for ensuring a supply of protein rich food to food bank services. It is truly an honor for the Chamber to recognize their quality of operations and exceptional level of service in promoting the agriculture industry.â&#x20AC;?

Rates may change depending on the rate in effect when the loan is taken. FSA has low-interest loans available from 7-15 years to meet the needs of those in need of additional grain storage, hay storage or cold storage. Current interest rates are 2.5 to 3.375 percent, depending on the length of the loan. Wabash FSA has packets of informa-

extension of the Bush tax cuts.” Dils also informed the commissioners of emergency repairs being made to boilers at the Courthouse. The estimated cost of materials to replace 22 burners and the rack that holds them is $738.14. The commissioners approved drywall repair to be done in the rear room of the Superior Court at the Wabash County Judicial Center. The repairs are expected to total $1,000. County Highway Superintendent John Martin presented an additional procreation request for $20,000 for engineering for Route 61, between CR 250 N and CR 700 W, which was approved. Seventy-three inmates are being housed at Wabash County Jail, as reported by Wabash County Sheriff Bob He also Land. received permission to begin the application and interview process for the hire of a jail officer. Land also obtained permission to sign a new agreement with Open Portal Solutions, which is a program used by the State of Indiana to make accident crash reports available to citizens for a small fee. “Buycrash.com is where citizens can go and retrieve copies of accident reports,” Land explained. “I believe the cost of that is $12 or $13 online, and with this agreement we’ll get $8 of that coming in as income for the S h e r i f f ’ s Department.” Dallas Duggan, head of Wabash County Probation Department, attended the meeting with news that another Wabash County probation officer is pregnant, and one is currently out on maternity leave. He requested to transfer user fee money to the general fund for the hire of a police officer that has expressed interest in a position with the P r o b a t i o n Department. The commissioners approved the request. Clerk of the Courts Elaine Martin requested permission to reduce

times that citizens may obtain marriage licenses and passports at the Clerk’s Office. The Clerk’s Office is required, by statute, to provide marriage licenses; however, passports are an optional service. “A lot of counties don’t do passports, but we want to continue doing them,” Martin explained. “Last year, we netted for the county about $15,000, which goes into the general fund.” The Clerk’s Office, in the past, has offered passports and marriage licenses Monday through Friday, but Martin asked the commissioners’ permission to only offer those services on Tuesday through Thursday, as Mondays and Fridays are busy days at the Clerk’s Office. “Some counties only do passports one day or half of a day. We’re not suggesting that, we’d just like to cut out Mondays and Fridays,” she said. The commissioners approved the request, and it was also noted that the cut-off time to begin the marriage license or passport process is 3:30 p.m.

North Central Cooperative...continued from front page cooperatives keep customers face-to-face with professionals who understand their needs while offering the resources to aid in production. “This isn’t our first endeavor into Michigan but it’s the furthest away from us,” Smith stated. “We’ve got a large fertilizer plant in Coldwater, Mich.; we also have LP and liquid fuel in Michigan. They (Fremont Co-op) have three locations and their headquar-

ters was Fremont, Mich.” Pettet added, “The marketing will be the same type of thing we’re doing here, it’s just a new market area. This is a merger, not a takeover, so it’s also a new opportunity for us to learn and work with them. The thing that makes them a little bit unique from us is that they’re into specialty crops, such as apples, peaches, apricots, asparagus, etc. So it’s a little bit different

from the typical agriculture here in Wabash County – corn, soybeans, and alfalfa.” Following the merger, Fremont Co-op General Manager Rob Zeldenrust assumed management duties of North Central’s northern Michigan operations. “[Rob] will still be the go-to person at that particular location,” Smith said. “His additional duties will include visiting with other companies in Michigan and

working to bring more companies to North Central. Our overall plan is to grow that market up there even more – to bring in some more cooperatives with us and continue to grow. I think due to the expertise of some of our people we can help them in some contracting endeavors and operational issues. Hopefully we can learn from each other to better serve our customers and our stockholders. ”Everything I’ve

heard [regarding the merger] has been positive; the responses I’ve gotten are along the lines of, ‘I see you’re still growing.’ It’s just a big advantage to the community, whether they do business with us or not, because we benefit all of the people with what we’ve been able to do.” For more information, contact North Central Co-op at 1-800992-3495 or visit the website at www.ncc.coop.

8 Lemak LLC purchases downtown Wabash building www.thepaperofwabash.com

W a b a s h Marketplace, Inc. (WMI) announces the recent sale of 41 W. Canal St., once known as Toepfer Optometry, to Lemak LLC. The purchase was made final on Dec. 17, with paperwork signed by Lemak’s owner and Wabash resident, Beth Reynolds. “The transformation of Wabash’s downtown has been incredible to watch over the last few years,” stated Reynolds. “I am excited to be able to participate in the revitalization efforts through the purchase of 41 West Canal.” Locally owned and operated, Lemak LLC was established in

May 2008 as a supplier of lubricants, fuel and chemicals to industrial and commercial businesses. Lemak LLC is a certified member of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). The timeliness of Reynolds’ purchase of the property has enabled her to take advantage of WMI’s façade grant program. WMI’s grant program, which is no l o n g e r available, offered building owners matching grant funds to apply to the restoration of the exterior of their building. I n d i a n a Landmarks’ North

Central Field Office representative, Cathy Wright, has acted as a historic preservation advisor on the project. “There are guidelines a building owner must adhere to when they accept grant funding from Wabash Marketplace,” said Wright. “These guidelines are designed to ensure that the historic qualities of a building are preserved and not compromised during the rehabilitation process.” A d d i t i o n a l l y, Lemak is taking advantage of WMI’s revolving loan program. “This project is a perfect project for this particular WMI program,” stated JP Hall, executive director for WMI. “We are able to facilitate the reintroduction of an income producing property back into the downtown economy, all while improving the overall aesthetics of the streetscape. This project will act as an example for future rehabilitation projects within downtown, and we are ecstatic to work with Reynolds to see the rebirth of this building.” The property at 41 W. Canal St. is one of the older buildings in downtown Wabash. The current aluminum slipcover hides a canal era structure that was probably built circa 1860. Some of the buildings on the south side of Canal Street, including 41 W. Canal, are a reminder of the economic boom that took place in antebel-

lum Wabash as a result of the WabashErie Canal. renovations The taking place on the recently purchased property are to be completed by the end of June 2011. One of the first exterior changes to take place will be the removal of the slipcover, a common 1970’s aesthetic, from the front of the building. “The removal of the slipcover will unveil a simple Federal Style façade that was common in Wabash during the Canal Era. This ‘unveiling’ is really a metaphor for what is happening in downtown Wabash, and we are very fortunate that Beth Reynolds is undertaking this valuable project,” stated Hall. The first floor will be remodeled into storefront space for rent and the second floor will be converted

Beacon Credit Union returns nearly $1 million to memberborrowers on New Year’s Eve To reward its member-owners for their loyalty and the solid operating results recognized in 2010, the Board of Directors of Beacon Credit Union returned over $980,850 of loan interest back to member-owners who utilize Beacon Credit Union for their borrowing needs. “A distinct benefit of borrowing from Beacon Credit Union is

that each borrower is an owner of this cooperatively organized financial institution,” according to Bruce Ingraham, president. “We are very proud to return, for the fifth consecutive year, a portion of our loan interest receipts back to member-owners who utilize Beacon Credit Union for their borrowing needs. I am especially proud of our quality staff and their efforts to deliver added value to the people who depend on Beacon for their financial needs.” The money returned to borrowers was in the form of a loan interest rebate.

Those receiving the rebate were memberowners who: paid interest on a loan during 2010, whose loan was not delinquent in its payments as of Dec. 31, 2010; and whose loan remained active as of Dec. 31, 2010. The qualifying 8,382 loan accounts held by member-owners received 4 percent of the total interest paid during the year. The rebated interest effectively reduced the annual percentage rate paid to the credit union for loans by approximately 25 basis points. Each borrower whose loan qualified for the loan

interest rebate received a deposit into their Savings Plus account on Dec. 31, 2010. Over the past five years, Beacon Credit Union has returned over $4 million of collected loan interest back to member-borrowers through loan interest rebates.

Bill Wimberly to discuss Hanna’s Town at the Winchester Senior Center

TruthSeekers January Birthday Party to address to be held at the sensitive Winchester Senior Center issue The Winchester Senior Center will be cele-

On Jan. 24, TruthSeekers will show “Somebody’s Daughter – The P o r n o g r a p hy Epidemic” in the Blocher Community Room of the North Manchester Public Library from 7 to 8:15 p.m. Pornography is one of the most difficult moral challenges of our time. What was once considered obscene is now a multi-billion dollar industry increasingly becoming the norm within mainstream culture. Because of the Internet, with its a c c e s s i b i l i t y, anonymity and affordability, pornography addictions have risen to epidemic levels destroying intimacy, marriages and families, while distorting our definition of sex and sexuality. Watch, and listen, as three men and a husband and wife share their intensely personal struggle. TruthSeekers examines current events from a Biblical worldview and is an outreach of Victory Bookstore. Public is invited. No admission charge. For further information call 260982-8317.

The Winchester Senior Center strives to provide different opportunities for active adults. This includes exercise programs, social events, and even historical programs. Bill Wimberly, author of Hanna’s Town: A Little World We Have Lost, will be joining us at the Winchester Senior Center to discuss his book. Hanna’s Town is a social history of Wabash, from its earliest formation as a Miami Indian gathering place near an ancient natural spring to its emergence as an economically successful and attractive Hoosier city. Of the books 14 chapters, the first eight are a chronological account of Wabash’s development up to, and including, the great fire of 1870. The remaining chapters are more topical, dealing with aspects of a maturing town. Consideration is given to the condition of town streets, sanitation, commerce, industry, schools, public utilities and private housing. There is also speculation about the effect of topography on Wabash’s development – specifically the presence of a 40-60 foot high bluff in the middle of town. The book is published by the Indiana Historical Society, Indianapolis. The author, W. William Wimberly II, grew up in Wabash and enjoys telling his story. Join Bill at the Winchester Senior Center on Jan. 11, at 1 p.m., to discuss the social history of our home town. To make your reservations for this program, call the Winchester Senior Center at 563-4475 or stop by to sign up. The Winchester Senior Center is located at 239 Bond St. and is operated by Living Well In Wabash County COA, a Wabash County United Fund agency.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it Dear editor, What I enjoy most Richard when Mourdock – who, by the way, will be addressing the Wabash County Tea Party group (C3) on Feb. 7 – speaks is the way he tells a story from the past and ties it to the present day. Perhaps that is why I was intrigued by a passage I came across in Sarah Palin’s new book, “America By Heart.” On page 78, she referenced a resolution adopted by the Indiana General Assembly on Jan. 18, 1947. My efforts to find the actual resolution were in vain, but with the help of Representative Kubacki I now have a copy. I have copied it here and hope you will find it as interesting as I have. HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 2 Mr. Speaker: I offer the following concurrent resolution and move its adoption: Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the concurring, Senate Indiana needs no guardian and intends to have none. We Hoosiers – like the people of our sister states – were fooled for quite a spell with the magician’s trick that a dollar taxed out of our pockets and sent to Washington, will be bigger when it comes back to us. We have taken a good look at said dollar. We find that it lost weight in its journey to Washington and back. The political brokerage of the bureaucrats has been

)

deducted. We have decided that there is no such thing as “federal” aid. We know that there is no wealth to tax that is not already within the boundaries of the 48 states. So we propose henceforward to tax ourselves and take care of ourselves. We are fed up with subsidies, doles, and paternalism. We are no one’s stepchild. We have grown up. We serve notice that we will resist Washington, D.C., adopting us. Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, the Senate concurring: That we respectfully and urge petition I n d i a n a ’ s Congressmen and Senators to vote to fetch our county courthouse and city halls from back Pennsylvania Avenue. We want government come home. to Resolved, further, that we call upon the legislatures of our sister states and on good citizens everywhere who believe in the basic principles of Lincoln and Jefferson to join with us, and we with them to restore the American Republic and our 48 states to the foundations built by our fathers. TEETOR HENLEY The resolution was adopted. Isn’t that fascinating? I know, I know. There are some who will scoff and ridicule this resolution. For sure the wording is different than we would use today. That doesn’t change the facts. We

been ignored. In the face of tremendous debt and deficit financing, federal grants-inaid are on the increase, subsidies in new fields are a constant threat, hoards of bureaucrats swarm the land with new rules to regulate the lives of our people, and billions of dollars of new taxes are levied to support this evil system which centralizes control and leads inevitably to dictatorship. The federal government is too big. It is a threat to free competitive enterprise and to the sovereignty of the states under our Constitution. The already too large federal government gets larger by siphoning off the tax sources that should support states and local governments. The states, deprived of their sources of revenue to perform their proper functions, become dependent upon the federal centralized government for grants-in-aid, and thus they become slaves of a guardian whose regulations and controls they cannot resist. The people of the State of Indiana resent the encroachment of the federal government into the fields of education, highways, employment, agriculture, medicine, banking, welfare, and local civic projects. They hold that these activities are the responsibilities of the states, the local communities, or private individuals, and that federal participation in these fields, both financial and managerial should be abandoned throughout this nation of ours. We Hoosiers believe that the historic constitutional rights and responsibilities of the states must be recovered; that the tax sources of which we have been deprived must be restored; and that the federal government must restrict its activities to matters of

send a dollar to D.C., we get less than a dollar back and with it rules and regulations that cost so much to implement that we would be better off if they would keep the whole dollar and leave us alone. Indiana may be flyover country but I say Representative Teetor and the General Assembly of our fair state were about 60 plus years ahead of the nation. You may be wondering what response our General Assembly received from Resolution No. 2. Apparently nothing. Go forward three years to Feb. 19, 1951. Representative Teetor was still in the House and we find: HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 12 House Concurrent Resolution No. 12, introduced by Representative Teetor: A Concurrent Resolution memorializing the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to prevent the giving of doles and subsidies to the various states, and requesting that said Congress restore to the states tax sources of revenue rightfully belonging to them. The General Assembly of the State of Indiana in Chapter 377 of the Acts of 1947 adopted a concurrent resolution serving notice on the Congress of the United States that the people of Indiana were fed up with subsidies, doles and paternalism, benevolently described as federal grants-inaid. Said resolution proposed that henceforward the people of Indiana were capable of taxing and taking care of themselves without interference or so-called financial aid from Washington. To date this resolution, based on the sound principles of home rule and state responsibility, has

the broadest national interest. We further believe that only in this way can we reverse the trend toward national socialism and remain a strong and free nation: Therefore, Be it Resolved by the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, the Senate Concurring: Section 1. That the Congress of the United States take steps to restore to the states all of the rights and privileges that have been taken away from them by the federal government. That the Congress enact legislation to curtail immediately and eventually eliminate all federal subsidies, doles and grants-in-aid to the various states. That the Congress restore to the various states the taxing sources that rightfully belong to them to the end that the states can perform their own functions in a proper manner. Section 2. That a copy of this resolution be sent to Indiana’s Congressmen and Senators, and that a copy be sent to all the governors of the various states, together with a request that their states adopt similar resolutions. The resolution was read in full and adopted by voice vote.

President Reagan, in an address to a Joint Session of the Indiana State Legislature on Feb. 9, 1982, referenced these two resolutions as he described his federalism concept and promised that his administration would restore the 10th amendment to the Constitution, reduce regulations, and restore authority to the Statehouses for those things that affect them most closely. These grievances are still with us only multiplied several times. Evidently we Hoosiers didn’t support our Indiana legislature in 1947 and 1951 or President Reagan in 1982. We allowed ourselves to take the federal candy and became addicted to the notion that the federal government not only can, but should solve all our problems. Rather than supporting the resolutions we stuck out our hands and licked our lips in anticipation of the next grant to satisfy our desires with no regard for the source of the largess. We’ve regressed back to children who know little of individual responsibility. Common sense tells us the well will run dry eventually. Then what? Seizing companies, excessively taxing estates, over-regulating

industries, buying land are additional methods of confiscating wealth from the now 50 states. Individual mandates, such as buying health insurance is another. Today our federal debt is in excess of $14 trillion and we still want more. Looking at the future three words come to mind. Bleak, bleaker, and bleakest except for some contemporary Hoosier politicians such as Mike Pence, Mitch Daniels, Richard Mourdock, and a few others who are recognized for common sense economics. The time for fixing the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into is short. Would you vote to adopt these resolutions? Would the Indiana General Assembly vote to adopt them today? Would our representatives and senators present them to the United States Congress? Probably not. Somehow though, I feel a streak of pride that at one time a Hoosier named Teetor foresaw the fallacy of federal grants-in-aid and was willing to stand up for what he considered right.

14 Citizens brave frigid weather to attend courthouse rally continued from front page www.thepaperofwabash.com

January 12, 2011

MEMBERS OF CITIZENS COMMITTED TO THE CONSTITUTION (C3) organized a rally in support of the courthouse nativity scene. The rally was held Jan. 3 and attended by 170 Wabash residents. (photo by Danielle Smith) degree weather amid 20 mile per hour gusts of wind. The event was organized by Laura Cole and several other members of Citizens Committed to the Constitution (C3). The rally commenced with prayer, then attendees sang “Oh Come All Ye Faithful”. Cole was first to speak.

“I know you’re all freezing but maybe the passion and the warmth in your hearts will keep you toasty,” she began. She shared her childhood memory of the courthouse Christmas lights and nativity. “Obviously the 1960’s and the 1970’s that I experienced as memories are in the past and with that

passing of time came change. Most of that time the change has been for the good, but a lot of the time it hasn’t.” “As a community, we have seen many cities that have allowed themselves to become victims of that change,” she continued. “Change that has come in the name of

political correctness, Freedom From Religion Foundation and tolerance. The reason why that change has come is because people have allowed it to come.” Cole then outlined the exact wording of

the U.S. Constitution, “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” She said the purpose of this phrase is to protect religion from the government, not to protect the government from religion. Cole then addressed the complainant. “To the concerned citizen and taxpayer of Wabash County who wrote that letter to the Freedom From Religion Foundation: I have respect for the many people who have died and fought to express their opinions. I would never want to stand in the way of doing that, but we have that same right, don’t we? I want to say to them (the complainant): you are wrong. I would like to tell them that if they are offended, I don’t apologize and if they are offended they can get over it, get a life or go away!” Cole thanked those

commissioners that have made public statements in support of the nativity and asked Wabash County Mayor Robert Vanlandingham to support it at as well. “Hands off our nativity!” she said in closing before offering attendees a chance to speak. Approximately 10 attendees accepted the offer. “We’ve been silent too long; that’s why we’ve lost all we’ve lost so far,” said Linda Fouts. “We have not done our children justice. It’s us that have failed them. We are the reason that they are not allowed to pray in school. We are the reason that someone can stop prayer before a ballgame. I may be 65 years old, but I can still speak and I will speak now.” Bonnie Corn told the crowd the story of Frankenbooth, Mich., where a similar scenario occurred. “One person complained about two crosses in their city and they

Everybody in the community put up white crosses in their yard. I have a fellow looking into making some and I’ll paint every one of them if I have to.” She invited citizens to contact her if they want to display a cross in their yard. Several others spoke including Martin Brown; Doug Oakes, pastor at Treaty Church of Christ; Cindy Flannagan; Todd Dazey, C3 board member; and Pat Hammons. The rally concluded with a chorus of “Joy to the World” and prayer. “I am thrilled with the turnout,” Cole said, following the rally. “With weather like this, I think 170 people represents a lot more people than what were able to come out. I think it’s a tremendous outpouring of support.”

awarded $9,000 in proceeds from the 19th Annual Rotary Golf Outing at the recent Wabash Rotary Club meeting. The golf outing was held Sept. 15, 2010, at the Honeywell Golf Course and serves as United Fund’s annual campaign kickoff. Christine Flohr, executive director of the United Fund, accepted the check on behalf of the United Fund. Flohr stated, “A lot of time is dedicated by volunteers to put the golf outing together. A huge thank you is

extended to Dave Dorais, Tom Frank, Brad Farlow and Art Jasen from the Wabash Rotary Club. Each work very hard to ensure the event is a success.” Flohr continued, “It was fantastic to see all of the United Fund agencies, area businesses and participating golfers collaborate with the greater good of this community in mind.” Troy Cole, Wabash County United Fund board president, expressed gratitude for the support of the annual campaign. “Along with the Wabash Rotary Club, Parker Beauchamp, the 2010 Campaign Chair, has done a tremendous amount of work to encourage the community to invest in United Fund’s efforts. This campaign has built strong funding partnerships that will affect the citizens of Wabash County for years to come.” Wabash County United Fund is dedicated to providing the necessary financial and human resources to support qualified nonprofit organizations in their efforts to enhance the quality of life for any and all of the residents of Wabash County.

The Indiana adult smoking rate has dropped to an all-time low of 23 percent.* This means there are 208,000 fewer smokers in Indiana than there were in 2001, and, those who do smoke are now smoking less. In fact, the per capita cigarette consumption in Indiana has declined by 40 percent over the last 10 years.** Despite that, Indiana still remains among the highest smoking states in the country. There is more work to be done for sure.

Increased Demand for Services The Indiana Tobacco Quitline continues to provide free telephone quit coaching services and web services. Tobacco users who are ready to set a quit date can still call the Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW for quit coaching and assistance.

Knights step up at home, down Apaches by 15

LEVI WINGET rises above two Wabash defenders during Southwood’s 68-53 home win on Jan. 7. Winget led the Knights with 18 points as they avenged their loss to the Apaches in the opening round of the Wabash County Tournament. (photo by Shaun Tilghman) by Shaun Tilghman On Jan. 7, one week after Southwood fell victim to Wabash in the County Tournament, the Knights rebounded at home to defeat the Apaches 68-53. “We had to get more into a practice mode where we could fix some things,” said Southwood coach John Burrus. “We’re a younger team and when you have a younger team you have to do some things to bring them along – if you keep doing the same things that doesn’t always work – so we went back to a few of the basics and got our defense packed in a little bit. In this game we were able to frustrate some guys that really hurt us [before], and I thought that was a big difference.” During their first match-up, Wabash’s

main focus was to contain scoring threat Mike Cook, who leads the Three Rivers Conference. After successfully holding the Southwood senior to 17 points, it was openly acknowledged that they would follow the same game plan in the rematch. The Apaches executed that aspect of their strategy very well in the first quarter – holding Cook scoreless – but several other Knights stepped up to fill the void. “That’s the only way we’re going to win big games,” Burrus explained. “If Mike goes for 25, and everybody else gets two or four or six points, then we’re not going to win much.” Conner Hobbs knocked down a trey to open the contest and gave Southwood a 3-0 lead. Breyton Nealis

followed with a score for Wabash to make it 3-2, but that was as close as they would get. The two teams traded buckets for much of the quarter but the Knights were able to build a 24-16 lead on a barrage of three-pointers by Devin Dale. “I thought the first quarter run really was the game,” said Wabash coach Tom Robbins. “We were down 14 at halftime and we lost by 15 so really it was the first quarter that got us. “Dale hit three threepointers there in the first quarter so I think he was a big part of that run; and maybe even was responsible for manufacturing that run when he got open on the wing and knocked down that first three. I think you have to hand it to him for stepping up, knocking that down, and

really propelling that run for them.” A Shea Beauchamp basket and Travis Shears free throw pulled Wabash within five early in the second, but Southwood pushed the lead to 12 following a 9-0 run courtesy of Levi Winget (3), Codie Shafer (4) and Cook (2). Each of the three would score again in the final two minutes to give the Knights a 39-25 lead at the break. Alex Hentgen, who had 10 points in the first half, scored eight more in the third to try to close the gap for the Apaches. However, the Knights outscored the Apaches 13-10 in the stanza behind four points each from Cook and Winget. “Throughout the course of the game I thought Winget hit some key shots when we were trying to make runs to come back,” Robbins

said. “He did some things when they hadn’t scored for a little bit, maybe they’d go three possessions without a score and on the fourth he’d drop a shot in. I thought he was definitely key for them – particularly in the second half when we were trying to manufacture some runs – he was just keeping us at bay with those moves toward the basket.” Winget started the final period with a basket, followed by an oldfashioned three-point play by Hentgen to make the score 54-38. Scoring went back and forth throughout the quarter, and with a minute to play Burrus pulled his starters with a 19-point lead. Burrus added, “We’ve seen guys improving in practice and tonight they carried it over into a game, and I think that really helped Mike out a lot. Winget had a great game and Shafer’s rebounding was awesome against some pretty big guys.” Hentgen’s last bucket gave him eight in the quarter and 26 for the game, while drawing Wabash within 16. Robbins pulled his starters soon after and some younger guys from each team finished out the game to a 68-53 final. Hentgen led all scorers with 26, and while he is arguably one of the better players in the area, he still needs a little more help from the other Apaches. Robbins added, “Alex is a hard match-up because he just keeps going; he doesn’t quit. He’s a tall guy on the perimeter – too tall for most guards – that we can also sneak under guys and get him into position because he’s too agile for the big guys. “He’s been our guy for three years, he’s a heck of a competitor, and I was really proud of his performance tonight. We’re looking for some other guys to come along and we’ve had them; we’ve had big games out of Zack Hipskind and Breyton Nealis, and we got a big game from Travis Shears last time

against Southwood. We know they’re there it’s just a matter of getting it with Alex on any given night.” Winget led the

Knights with 18 points, Cook finished with 12, and Dale scored 10. Southwood improves to 6-2 with the win, while Wabash falls to 1-7.

REMINDER: As your organization plans for 2011 send information to be included in the Lagro News Column to the email or mailing address at the bottom of the column. LAGRO COMETS LIBRARY will be reopening. Volunteers have worked many hours during the months of October and November re-doing the Community Lagro Library. The room was emptied, repainted with the Lagro Comets colors, and the shelves rearranged. All books were sorted and reshelved in an orderly, attractive display. The unwanted books were donated to an organization that will send the books to Africa to furnish libraries there. As part of the remodeling, Lagro Comets memorabilia has become part of the decor. Come and see what Lagro Comets memories are currently here as well as returning in the future because we have more items coming! An open house to re-open the library will be held Jan. 15, from 2 to 4 p.m. Come and see the changes as well as thanking our volunteers.

PICTURE: This is a picture of Ted and Sandy Biehl with their grandson, Mason, and granddaughter, Zoe Ann, which was taken on Nov. 26, 2010. Many of you will remember that Zoe Ann was in this column’s prayer concerns in March and May of 2010 as she went through two surgeries, the first when she was four weeks old and the second at three months. Zoe is scheduled for her final surgery on Jan. 17. Mason and Zoe Ann’s parents are Tabitha and Scott Gabbard, Babson Beach, Fla. Please keep Zoe Ann and all of her family in your prayers on that day and for several days after the surgery as she goes through recovery.

Haupert responds to nativity controversy Dear editor, I think it is time for those who believe in God to stand up and be heard. Why is it that those who are against religion have a louder voice? There are a lot of things that have changed since I was in school but you would think history would remain the same wouldn’t you? As I recall, this country was founded for religious freedom and that freedom was to be able to serve and worship the Lord your God in whatever manner you chose. It was not so God could be shoved, pushed, or written out of our lives. Where is my freedom as a

Christian and a taxpayer in Wabash County? The letter sent to the Leaders of our County about the nativity and the angel decorations is too much; where is it going to stop? If it were not for the nativity and the angels who announced the coming of the Lord there would be no CHRISTMAS to celebrate. I bet all those who are against religion do not reject the paid day off for the holiday. And I am sure most of them probably buy gifts for their family also. Why is it groups like Freedom From Religion Foundation get everyone’s attention because their

rights are not being observed but Christians around the world and in the United States are having their rights overlooked everyday. When I read the quote from the Mayor about not putting up the angel decorations next year it sickened me. If anyone would set down and read the Bible angels were big strong men not beautiful fluffy women as we portray them. Gabriel would surely be offended to think we see him as a tinselcovered girl. I feel my rights are being violated. I fear the Lord, I believe in IN GOD WE TRUST, I believe Jesus came and lay in a manger to

save me from MY sin. And I believe that WE are destroying the very fabric of our Country by allowing GOD to be pushed out. The United States has always been the strong leader of the world, a country looked up to and feared, GOD protected us because we stood for HIM but now where do we stand? Who fears us? When will be the next attack on our soil? Do you feel the protection of God around you, whose voice is being heard? It is our fault because our children are drug users, bullies, cheaters and stand up for nothing. We are their role models if we do not guide them, teach them, stand up and show them what is right, who will? The Bible says we as parents are to teach our children the ways of the Lord right and wrong and with the Lord comes Love. I don’t think I am right and others are wrong because they do not believe as I do and I do not try to push my beliefs on them so why do they push theirs on me? Lisa Haupert North Manchester

Local Optimist Club to sponsor oratorical contest for students The Optimist Club of Wabash is encouraging area students to speak their minds about the topic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I were leader of the free world, the first issue I would address would beâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?, as part of the Optimist International Oratorical Contest for 2010. The Optimist Club will judge the local studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; speeches based on content and presentation to determine the top winners. Winners will receive medals and the winning speeches will be sent to the zone level, and possibly the district level for the opportunity to win college scholarships. Students under the age of 19, as of Dec. 31, 2010, are eligible to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As they prepare for their future, many of our local students need experience expressing their thoughts and opinions to an audience,â&#x20AC;? Club President Dave Frischman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The oratorical contest challenges them to do just that and also offers an opportunity for scholarships. In this way, our club hopes to bring out the best in each of them and help them achieve their goals for the future.â&#x20AC;? The deadline to hand in speeches is Feb. 27. Students wishing to participate in the oratorical contest can find out more

about the contest by contacting the club at 260-571-8526. The Optimist Club of Wabash has been participating in the Optimist Oratorical Contest for 40 years and has been active in the community since 1966. Other programs and service projects that the club is involved in include essay contest, junior golf and The Head Start Book Program.
