January 5, 2011 NORSE GYM DECK CEREMONY Long time Northfield wrestling coach and education physical teacher Bill Campbell will be honored Jan. 11 as the Athletic Department names the East Gym deck “Campbell Deck.” The East Gym deck has long been the home of Northfield wrestling and also home to a weight facility, conditioning equipment and a two-lane track. Campbell served as Northfield’s wrestling coach for nearly 35 years until his retirement from coaching after the 2003-04 school year. He finished his coaching career with a 283-203 overall mark. His teams won six TRC titles and eight sectionals during his tenure. He was also the head football coach for seven years. “We are excited about the opportunity to recognize Bill for all he’s done for NHS wrestling. Bill is still very popular throughout the state for his coaching and for what he did for our studentathletes. He was a leader by example and I know I’ve spoken with a lot of wrestlers who have shared how much they respect him as a coach and person,” said athletic director Tony Uggen. Uggen. “I know he took some time to mentor me as a (continued on page 6)

Commissioners receive complaint in regards to nativity on courthouse lawn by Danielle Smith The Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners, at their Jan. 3 meeting, determined to remain unresponsive to concerns expressed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) regarding the nativity scene on the Wabash County Courthouse lawn. The FFRF is a group of 16,000 Americans, 200 of which reside in Indiana, based out of Madison, Wis. On Dec. 22, 2010, the Foundation sent a letter to the Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners stating that it is “unlawful for Wabash County to maintain, erect or host this nativity scene.” They claim to have received information regarding the nativity from a local complainant. In their letter, the FFRF cited a Supreme Court case, County of Allegheny vs. ACLU of Pittsburgh, which upheld the ruling that a county government’s religious display was an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. “There are ample private and church grounds where religious displays may be freely placed,” the Foundation stated in the letter. “Once the County enters into the religion business, conferring endorsement and preference for one religion over others, it strikes a blow at religious liberty, forcing taxpayers of all faiths and of no religion to support a particular expression of worship.” County Attorney Steve Downs and the commissioners determined that no response was necessary because the
WABASH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS received correspondence from the Freedom From Religion Foundation detailing a complaint about the Christmas nativity scene that has been displayed on the Wabash County Courthouse lawn during the holiday season for several years. The commissioners elected to make no response to the complaint, as the display is maintained by a private entity, not a government agency. (photo by Danielle Smith) nativity is maintained by a private sponsor. “Privately sponsored scenes, or other religious symbols, are permissible on public property that is open to the general public for expressive activity,” Downs stated. He and the commissioners maintain that the scene is erected, maintained, removed and stored by private citizens. “It has been the policy of the County to permit the general public to advocate various causes on the courthouse lawn from time to time,” Downs explained. “To prohibit religious expression in a public forum where other expressive activity is permitted would be a violation of the free speech clause of the United States Constitution.”
Downs, Wabash C o u n t y Commissioners, County Coordinator Jim Dils and the City of Wabash were unsure of the identity of the private individual or group that
maintains the nativity. The display is expected to be removed in the coming weeks, as the holiday season has ended. Sheriff Bob Land began his term by attending the meeting
of the Wabash County Commissioners, which he says will be a regular event. “Randy [Miller] or I or our representative will be at every meeting,” he vowed. “I want to invite every-
body down to my office, it’s an open door. I’ll be there every day.” The commissioners said they look forward to working with Sheriff Land. (continued on page 6)
Planning commission requests citizen input for comprehensive plan
by Danielle Smith Five public meetings will be held in January for the purposes of gathering information from the residents of Wabash County’s rural areas and small towns. This information will be used to create a comprehensive plan for Wabash County. A comprehensive plan is a land use and development plan that lays out residents’ vision for their community. “The comprehensive plan is just a guidebook that will tell us how to write our ordinances,” said Mike Howard, planning commission. Wabash County’s comprehensive plan was last updated in 1965, and many of our ordinances currently in effect are outdated. The Pleasant and Paw Paw townships meeting will be held at Laketon Legion, Jan. 10, 6:30 p.m.; Chester Township meeting will be held at Timbercrest Assembly Room, Jan. 11, 6:30 p.m.; Lagro Township meeting will be held at Lagro Community Building, Jan. 18, 6:30 p.m.; Liberty and Waltz townships meeting will be held at the LaFontaine Community Building on Jan. 24, 6:30 p.m.; and the Noble Township meeting will be held at the Wabash County Courthouse Commissioner’s (continued on page 6) Meeting Room on Jan. 25, 6:30 p.m.

Investment Center at Crossroads Bank Community Cancer Care and Insurance 1 Services, Inc. named partners with Clarian Health/ Indiana University Melvin and January Blue Ribbon Business
THE INVESTMENT CENTER AT CROSSROADS BANK was recently selected as the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce’s Blue Ribbon Business of the Month for January. Pictured are Tony Pulley, president of Investment Center and Insurance 1 and Dave Vanderpool, vicepresident of Insurance 1. (photo provided)
Tony Pulley, president of Investment Center and Insurance 1 Services, and Dave Vanderpool, vice president of Insurance 1, both hold a passion for two key business ingredients: integrity and the highest level of customer service. Tony and Dave both bring many years of experience to their fields with impressive credentials. Tony has been in the securities business since 1985 and holds degrees in accounting and business management, and is licensed in life, health and long-term care insurance. He is registered in general securities with Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc., and is an investment advisor representative with them, as well. He also holds the designations of chartered financial consultant and chartered life underwriter. Tony takes pride in using his knowledge of financial markets and tax-qualified plans, as well as his understanding of estate planning techniques and client needs and objectives to assist individuals in managing their financial assets. That experience helps his clients overcome the worries of planning for retirement, transferring estate assets and establishing
funds for education. Tony says, “I gain great job satisfaction from helping others feel a level of financial well-being that they otherwise would not have had without assistance.” The Investment Center team also includes Office Manager Stephanie MacFarlane who ensures each client receives a warm welcome and complete customer attention. Dorothea “Dottie” Cole, a registered investment advisor representative with Transamerica Financial Advisor Inc. and licensed as a life and health insurance agent, has been working in the financial services sector since 1996, and is currently in the Columbia City office. Jarrod McKee is the newest member of the team, who is also a registered investment representative and licensed in insurance while working out of the Wabash office. The Investment Center has been a Chamber member since 1996. Dave emphasizes that Insurance 1 Services (an affiliate of Crossroads Bank) is all about the people, not things. Having served 20 years as a medic in the Air Force Reserve, and then owning and oper-
ating a business in Warsaw, Dave comments, “Over 35 years as a business owner and consumer…I know what it is like sitting on the other side of the desk. I sincerely enjoy finding insurance solutions for business and individual clients that offer the coverage they need to protect their assets at a cost that fits their budget. I look forward to meeting new clients and old friends and helping them with the insurance needs.” Insurance 1 has been a Chamber member since 2005. Both businesses are located within Bank, Crossroads 1205 N. Cass St., Wabash. To contact the Investment Center, telephone 260563-4619 ext. 1478. To contact Insurance 1 Services, telephone 260-563-4000. Membership

We encourage you to take time to become more familiar with Chamber members and patronize our local businesses, keeping jobs and dollars in Wabash County.

Bren Simon Cancer Center C l a r i a n Health/Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center have assumed a leadership role at Wabash County Hospital’s Cancer Care Center through its acquisition of Community Cancer Care (CCC), an Indianapolis-based healthcare organization that provides cancer care and programming for 18 hospitals in rural and under-served Indiana communities. The affiliation will enable Wabash’s cancer program to continue to grow, become even more robust and offer patients greater access to research and enhanced services. Clarian/IUSCC is dedicated to furthering the vision Community Cancer Center started 27 years ago, as well as maintaining a level of service to which physicians and patients are accustomed. To ensure a continuity of care for patients, Robert D. Vallion, M.D., will continue to lead Wabash County Hospital’s cancer program. “When we started CCC 27 years ago, our vision was to provide access to high-quality cancer care for patients across rural Indiana – no matter
where they lived. The idea was to bring cancer care to Wabash instead of requiring patients to travel to other cities for their care. Clarian/IUSCC have resources to advance the Wabash oncology program, so it’s time to pass the baton to them. Wabash was the first hospital to join our program, so we are very proud of the accomplishments we’ve all worked toward. Clearly, this outreach effort has been the highlight of my medical career,” said William M. Dugan, Jr., M.D., CCC cofounder and medical oncologist/ hematologist. Dr. Dugan will continue to see cancer patients at Wabash County Hospital. “We are very grateful to CCC founders Dr. Dugan and Sara Edgerton for their
vision and foresight and including our hospital in their consortium of outpatient oncology programs,” said Marilyn CusterMitchell, WCH president and CEO. “Because of their efforts, cancer patients in Wabash County have access to high-quality care at our hospital. We look forward to the opportunities this relationship presents.” Wabash County Hospital’s oncology program is accredited by the American College of Surgeons – Commission on Cancer – a gold standard in cancer care. Of the 145 hospitals in Indiana, WCH is one of only 44 to hold this prestigious accreditation. For more information about Wabash County Hospital’s cancer program, contact Amy Poole at 260-569-2324.

Do you have a story worth sharing?
Barrus joins Thorne Insurance Wabash native Joel Barrus joined Thorne Insurance, located at 650 Manchester Ave., as an agent in September of 2010. Barrus graduated from Wabash High School in 1998 and graduated from Manchester College in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. He taught for seven years in the Wabash City School System, which included reading, social studies, computer technology, and Middle School
remediation. He also taught fifth grade at W.C. Mills Elementary for four years. “I look forward to serving the community of Wabash in a new way,” Barrus said. “Before, I had the opportunity to teach, and now I get to help people with their insurance needs. “Both settings provide me with unique ways of helping others in their lives. With teaching, you get to help children by instructing them in a variety of different subjects. With
insurance, you get to help others become properly insured while trying to save them money.” Barrus specializes in standard and nonstandard lines of property and casualty insurance. Jason Dawes, a Thorne Insurance agent, said, “We are proud to have Joel as a part of our team here at the agency. He has the same views and values of providing personal service to each customer, which is key to being an asset and contributing to the community.”
Barrus was a fouryear starter on the Manchester College baseball team. He has coached little league and Babe
Ruth baseball, as well as high school baseball, softball, basketball, and boys’ tennis. He currently
resides in Wabash and he has three older sisters and eight nieces and nephews.

Wabash resident recovers from Budget order and final recent serious car accident tax rates approved by Danielle Smith Priscilla Etter, Wabash, is currently at Miller’s Merry Manor East recovering from a collision that occurred during the evening of Nov. 27, 2010, in Ohio. At around 9 p.m., Etter and her fiancé, Ray Heidinger, were returning from a family Christmas party on a four-lane highway, traveling approximately 60 miles per hour, when an elderly woman pulled out in front of them. Heidinger was unable to stop and they tboned the elderly woman’s vehicle, which was also carrying the woman’s two sisters. The woman passed away the next day and both passengers also died later on in the week. Both vehicles were demolished. Neither Etter nor
Heidinger lost consciousness during the collision. “We just sat in the front seat and talked,” Etter said. “We asked each other ‘do you think you’re hurt’, ‘where do you think you’re hurt’, ‘do you think anything is broken’, until the firemen got there.” It was then that Etter learned the car was on fire. The firemen extinguished the fire and removed the jammed doors to free Etter and Heidinger from the vehicle. Heidinger suffered from fractured ribs and injuries to his ankle, kneecap and heel. Etter’s injuries proved to be slightly more serious. She suffered two broken ankles, a broken wrist, a broken kneecap and a lacerated duodenum. The

injury to her duodenum, which is part of the small intestine, was the result of the seatbelt tightening on her body during the impact; it was causing internal bleeding. “They took x-rays and then realized that I had internal injuries that needed to be attended to right away so they flew me from a smaller hospital that I had been in to the Toledo hospital to do life-saving surgery,” Etter said. Etter and Heidinger spent several days in intensive care at Toledo hospital before they were transferred to Miller’s Merry Manor East, Wabash, and Canterbury Rehab, Fort Wayne, respectively. “We would have rather been together, but my daughter couldn’t get me a bed at Canterbury,” Etter said. Etter has had a strong show of support from friends and family during her time at Miller’s Merry Manor thus far. “I’ve had an abundance of cards and an array of nonstop visitors,” Etter said. She has received five sets of
flowers and her daughter and son-in-law decorated a three-foot Christmas tree in her room, which she plans to leave up until she leaves Miller’s. On Dec. 30, 2010, she had the cast from her left leg and the cast from her arm both removed, and she has begun putting weight on her left leg. She is still bedfast and will have to relearn how to walk. Doctors estimate that it will be around six months before she is able to walk. She is undergoing physical and occupational therapy for a half-hour each day, and she expects the therapy to become more intense as it goes. Heidinger is in slightly better condition, he is able to move around the rehab facility in his wheelchair, and he plans to walk his daughter down the aisle on May 14. “Every night he calls me and we pray together before we hang up. God definitely spared our lives,” Etter said. Etter has two children, Stacia Ellington, Fort Wayne, and Lance Etter, Arizona; and two grandsons.
The Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) certified Wabash County’s 2011 budget order and tax rates on Dec. 29, 2010, paving the way for ontime property tax bills for the second year in a row. The budget certification puts the county in a position to have taxes due on May 10, 2011. Wabash County was the 34th county in the State to receive its 2011 budget order and tax rates. “The certification of the budget order and tax rates sets the stage nicely for on-time tax bills for the second consecutive year, returning predictability to the property tax system,” DLGF Commissioner Brian Bailey said. “A tremendous amount of cooperation and collaboration between local and state officials is required to ensure property tax bills go out on time, and it is rewarding to see all the efforts pay off.” The first step in the assessment to tax billing process is the completion of the property assessments, which culminates with the submission of a ratio study. A ratio study is a comparison between property sales prices and assessed values in the county to ensure that market values are being used to determine assessed values. Typically, these should be submitted to the state and approved by May 31, the year prior to tax billing. Wabash County’s ratio study was submitted on May 25, 2010. Once the DLGF approves the ratio study, the assessor sends the gross assessed values to the county auditor, who applies exemptions, deductions or abatements to determine the net assessed values – the values upon which tax rates are based. That information was statutorily due to the DLGF by Aug. 2, 2010. Wabash County’s certified net assessed values were submitted on Aug. 12, 2010. Now that the 2011 budget has been certified by the DLGF, the next steps are handled at the county level. The county auditor is to calculate tax bills, which should then be mailed by the county treasurer no later than April 25, 2011. Taxpayers interested in estimating their property tax bill may do so using the DLGF’s online property tax calculator at www.in.gov/dlgf/4932.htm. Taxpayers will need their property’s assessed value, deductions, and taxing district to use the tool. The estimates provided are projections only and should not be taken as a statement of true tax liability, which is determined by the county. A copy of the Wabash County budget is available at www.in.gov/dlgf/4431.htm.
MWI Veterinary Supply becomes Certified Livestock Producer Program The Indiana State Department of Agriculture is proud to announce that MWI Veterinary Supply is a new Certified Livestock Producer Program (CLPP) partner. They
are offering a $50 voucher to the first 10 producers in 2011 to sign up and complete the CLPP program. “This will help cover part of the cost of the veterinarian trip charge to their farm and enable producers to meet with their licensed veterinarian to develop or review the operations bio-security policy,” said CLPP Program Manager John Nagle. “This is important because it is a requirement of the program.” MWI Veterinary Supply covers all of Indiana, servicing the supply needs of the licensed veterinarians with animal health products and supplies.
The new CLPP partnership is an opportunity for them to show the value of a veterinary, client and patient relationship. Lt. Governor Skillman launched the Certified Livestock Producer Program in July 2008. Since that time, 39 Hoosier farmers have earned the certification. Indiana is one of only a handful of states to have a voluntary program that recognizes farmers for their commitment to innovative and top industry standards.

information gleaned from the public meetings, the U.S. Census, interviews and questionnaires sent to members of the communities and available at Wabash County Government’s website. Professor Richard H a r s h b a r g e r, Manchester College economics professor, will also help with data collection. “We’re trying to get as much input as we can,” Howard said. The input will be prioritized and categorized by the steering committee and they will spend the next 12 to 18 months drafting the comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan will be written with a scope of 20 years, but it will be reviewed each year and revised if necessary. Once completed, the plan will be submitted to the Commissioner’s for approval. After the process is complete, the Wabash County Planning Commission will use the plan to write ordinances to steer Wabash County in the direction the citizens hope to see it move. The ordinances will affect all areas of Wabash County except within the city limits of Wabash and North Manchester. “We will create the plan based on the input of the citizens of Wabash County,” Howard said. “This is their plan, it’s not our plan. We are just the group that will write it for them.” Howard encourages the public to attend the meetings and return the questionnaires so that their concerns will be considered when the plan is written.
WABASH COUNTY RECORDER NANCY GRIBBEN put in her final day at the Wabash County Recorder’s Office on Dec. 30, 2010. Gribben was born in Wabash and attended Wabash High School. She left in 1965 when she married Mike Gribben; her children, Katie (Gribben) Craft and Andy Gribben were born in Alabama. She and her family returned to Wabash in 1983.

And with the recent naming of our baseball and basketball facilities, we are fortunate to continue the process of naming our athletic facilities after great longtime coaches and/or administrators that the community is familiar with. I hope many can spread the word as Tuesday should be an exciting evening.” The ceremony will take place at 5:55 p.m. prior to the V/JV wrestling match with FW Wayne.

Wabash Friends Counseling Center to host leadership training North Manchester Annual It isn’t too often an executive leadership coach visits Wabash. But it is becoming a regular happening at the leadership training program sponsored by the Wabash Friends Counseling Center. Mr. Scott Livingston, MBA, executive coach, founder of IntegrateEI Inc., Indianapolis, will be speaking at the January Leadership Luncheon series on C u s t o m i z i n g I n d i v i d u a l Development Across the Leadership Lifecycle, Jan. 6, from noon to 1 p.m., at the Wabash Friends Church Family Life Center, 3563 S. SR 13, Wabash. Livingston argues, “If it is true that leaders are made not born, then each of us need to seriously consider how to intentionally devel-
KFD awarded grant for thermal imaging cameras The Kokomo Fire Department (KFD) was awarded $48,600 to purchase thermal imaging cameras. The new thermal imaging cameras allow firefighters to quickly locate an unconscious victim in a smoke filled environment, where visibility is reduced. In addition the cameras can pinpoint hidden fires, such as electrical fires inside walls, before they spread to other parts of a structure. “The women and men of the Kokomo Fire Department are charged with providing the highest level of public safety, and they perform this duty to the utmost degree,” said Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight. “I am extremely proud of the entire department for aggressively seeking and securing funding which has enabled the KFD to purchase sophisticated life-saving equipment in order for the department to adhere to highest national safety standards.” In 2010, the City of Kokomo committed $2.6 million toward the construction of a new fire station on the city’s south side, purchase a new fire rescue truck and update the downtown Kokomo fire station.
op our leadership skills. The field of leadership development is undergoing a shift that focuses on the individual developmental needs of the leader as opposed to general leadership traits. In this session I will build on the historic work of Erik Erikson who divided life into eight distinct stages of development and apply this life-cycle development model to leadership. Workshop attendees will discover which leadership stage they are in and the specific leadership activities that will develop their leadership potential within that stage. I will give each attendee a chance to develop a personalized leadership development plan. To register, email the director, Scott Makin, at scott@wabashfriends.org, go to the website: www.wabashfriendscounseling.org, or call 260-563-8452. Market Street Grille will cater the luncheon. “Scott is one of the most innovative and creative leaders I know,” said Makin. “We are very fortunate to have a speaker of his caliber and experience to visit Wabash. Those who attend will glean so much from him not only in his presentation, but in the informal time afterwards where leaders usually interact with the presenter one-on-one.” In addition to the usual leadership train-
ing, the Wabash Chamber of Commerce will be conducting a Ribbon Cutting for the new addition to the Wabash Friends Church, the Family Life Center. Kimberly Pinkerton, Chamber president and various board members will be there to celebrate the opening of the new Family Life Center. Alex Falder, lead pastor, said, “We are excited about the new center because we will be able to help so many more youth and their families.” Kathy Jaderholm, children’s pastor, added, “That is the whole reason we built the Center. It wasn’t just for our kids; it was for kids in the community. Our Little Friends Daycare is now located in this new facility which is a beginning. We already have had a number of new families and kids check out the new Center. We are want to support the parents too as they have a tough job of raising kids in a culture that is tough to do that.” The monthly Leadership Luncheons are sponsored by the Wabash Friends Counseling Center. They started in 2007. Over 1,000 different leaders from 165 different businesses have attended over the years. The purpose is to help train local leaders to make a difference not only in the work place but in their
community. Participants are also given a packet of other leadership resources and a book review of Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Dan and Chip Heath. Participants will also receive an article from the Harvard Business Review on Making Room for Reflection is a Strategic Imperative. They will receive information about the MediaSauce website www.mediasauce.com. This innovative website offers ways businesses can tap into the social media and o n l i n e audience. MediaSauce recently appeared in Inc. Magazine’s annual list of the nation’s fastest-growing, privately-owned businesses; and is the 15th fastest growing media company in the United States. There is also a leadership resource table that has the top 15 leadership books (available to purchase), a list of leadership websites, past leadership book reviews, past inspirational leadership quotes and a bibliography of leadership and personal development books. Check out Facebook: “Leadership Luncheon Wabash Friends Counseling Center,” where there are many other resources for leaders in the Wabash, Miami, Huntington and Grant counties.

Café Ducirque provides unique dining experience in Peru by Danielle Smith Café Ducirque, a family owned and operated café and gallery located at 65 N. Miami St., Peru, provides an opportunity for dining and an artistic outlet for its patrons. The café opened four years ago in Fair. Scarborough They moved to their current location after one year. “We started out as a coffee house with a little bit of food on the side,” said Bonnie Arrick, coof Café owner Ducirque along with her son, Chris Arrick. “We quickly became a restaurant with coffee on the side.” The Arrick family
resided in South Carolina where Chris worked at restaurants and coffee houses. He developed a natural talent for combining ingredients to create unique dishes. Two of Chris’s recipes, Raspberry Cream Crepe Cake and Leak and Goat Cheese Quiche, were featured in the Sunrise Cookbook, compiled by Channel 13 and Marsh Grocery. Another example of his talent is Café Ducirque’s signature soup, Pumpkin Tomato. “During the cold weather we have a homemade soup every day and we have quiche every day, a house quiche and one with different ingredients. Chris makes cinnamon rolls for breakfast,” Bonnie said. The café also offers a variety of crepes, croissants, panini and salads. The Arrick family focuses on keeping their product as local and organic as possible. “We will have our

CAFÉ DUCIRQUE is a family-owned and operated restaurant and coffee shop in Peru with a lot of character. Chris Arrick (left) has a natural talent for creating unique recipes and Bonnie Arrick, his mother, (center) helps keep the books and run the restaurant. Chris’s sister, Alicia Arrick, (right) helps with marketing ideas while she is in the area.

We always work on local before we work on organic, sometimes it comes hand-in-hand,” Chris said. Chris also roasts his own coffee beans for the coffee served at Café Ducirque. His coffee received the 2010 Reader’s Choice Award for Best Coffee in Peru. “People do seem to like it,” Bonnie said. “Every day we have a

regular and a decaf, and then of course we have our lattes and cappuccinos.” His coffee can also be purchased at The Bookworm, a new and used bookstore on Broadway in Peru. The café’s name incorporates the circus history of Peru. Loosely translated, it means Café of the Circus. “It’s purely whimsical, not proper French,” explained Chris. The atmosphere in the small café mirrors its name. Christmas elves monitor the behavior of patrons from various inconspicuous places and, during the warmer months, a garden gnome migrates from different locations in the outdoor courtyard, sometimes even perching in the trees. Humorous books litter the end tables around the fireplace, which is accented with a unique decorative tile hearth. The cheerful yellow walls are lined with local art, most of which is available for purchase. “When we started, some people expressed
interest in starting what they call and what turned out to be Miami County Artists Co-op,” Chris said. “It isn’t restricted to Miami County at all, it’s a pretty informal group that meets here the second Wednesday of each month. There’s no dues or president, it’s just a group that gets together to bring works in and talk about them.” The artwork ranges in type from woodworking to photography to painting. Approximately 30 people attend the meetings consistently. “The high school has wonderfully talented kids in their art program and in their music classes. It’s phenomenal and there’s no real place for Peru to showcase that talent,” Chris said. Café Ducirque is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. They are also available for evening parties, small catering and carry out. They can be reached at 765473-3600. Their menu and specials can be accessed at www.cafeducirqueonline.com or on Facebook. 2033

Chamber announces ribbon cutting for Family Life Center The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Membership Committee announce a Ribbon Cutting for the new Family Life Center addition to the Wabash Friends Church. Alex Falder, Lead Pastor, said, “We are excited about the Center because we will be able to help so many more youth and their families.” Kathy Jaderholm, Children’s Pastor, added, “That is the whole reason we built the Center. It wasn’t just for our kids; it was for kids in the community. Our Little Friends Day Care is now located in this new facility which is a beginning. We already have had a number of new families and children check out the new Center. We want to support the parents, too, as they have a tough job of raising kids in today’s culture.” The Ribbon Cutting will be held Jan. 6 immediately preceding the January Leadership Luncheon. Mr. Scott Livingston, MBA, Executive Coach, Founder of IntegrateEI Inc., Indianapolis, will be speaking on Customizing Individual Development Across the Leadership Lifecycle, from noon to 1 p.m. at the new Family Life Center, 3563 S. SR 13, Wabash. Livingston argues, “If it is true that leaders are made not born, then each of us need to seriously consider how to intentionally develop our leadership skills. The field of leadership development is undergoing a shift that focuses on the individual developmental needs of the leader as opposed to general leadership traits. In this session I will build on the historic work of Erik Erikson who divided life into eight distinct stages of development and apply this life-cycle development model to leadership. Workshop attendees will discover which leadership stage they are in and the specific leadership activities that will develop their leadership potential within that stage. I will give each attendee a chance to develop a personalized leadership development plan. To register for the Leadership Luncheon, email Director Scott Makin at scott@wabashfriends.org, go to the website: www.wabashfriendscounseling.org, or call 260-563-8452. Market Street Grille will cater the luncheon. “Scott is one of the most innovative and creative leaders I know,” said Makin. “We are very fortunate to have a speaker of his caliber and experience to visit Wabash. Those who attend will glean so much from him not only in his presentation, but in the informal time afterwards where leaders usually interact with the presenter one-on-one. Participants will be given a packet of other leadership resources including a book review of Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Dan and Chip Heath; an article from the Harvard Business Review on Making Room for Reflection is a Strategic Imperative and information about the MediaSauce website www.mediasauce.com. This innovative website offers ways businesses can tap into the social media and online audience. In addition, there will be a leadership resource table that will have the top 15 leadership books (available to purchase), a list of leadership websites; past leadership book reviews, past inspirational leadership quotes, and a bibliography of leadership and personal development books.

Rachel Sears and Andrew Fox wed Sept. 25
The double ring ceremony that united Rachel Ann Sears and Andrew Virgil Fox in marriage was held Sept. 25 on the bride’s grandmother’s farm in rural Wabash. Pastor Don Cogar officiated. Given in marriage by her father, Kelly Sears, the bride wore her mother’s wedding
gown, which she remodeled to reflect her own style. The dress was a sleeveless organza, full length beaded and applique with a Queen Anne neckline. The bride also wore a tiara with a two-tiered applique veil. She carried red velvet roses with pearl beads and blue rose accents.
Matrons of honor were friends of the bride, Jeanettah Lyons, Wabash, and Kimly Binkerd, Carol Stream, Ill. The groom wore a two-piece blue suit with a read shirt and white bow tie. Chad Dabney, Madison, friend of the groom, served as the best man.
Ushers were Joel Sears, Wabash, brother of the bride, and Anthony Fox, Madison, brother of the groom. Carrie Windsor, friend of the bride, served as guest and gift registrar. Reception servers were Martha Stapleton, Chris Curless, Susan Keppel and Kayla Keppel. A cake and punch reception was held immediately following the ceremony in the backyard of the family farm, with 78 guests attending. The cakes were family recipes of the bride and groom. The couple met at International Academy of Design and Technology in Chicago, Ill., where they both earned degrees in 2009. Rachel received a bachelor of fine arts in fashion design and Andrew received a bachelor of fine arts in graphic design. The bride is the daughter of Kelly Sears, Logansport, and Sarah Sears, Wabash. The groom is the son of Mike and Cathy Fox, Madison.
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 Unfortunately, there's one set back for smokers, the Indiana Tobacco Quitline will no longer be able to offer free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to smokers who register for services. Because of the increased demand and fewer dollars to fund that demand, Quit Now Indiana will not offer the free medication to quitters. Nicotine replacement therapy can double a quitter's chance for success. Many employers' and insurers' benefit packages may cover the cost of nicotine replacement therapy. Individuals ready to quit should check with their employers and/or insurers. The Indiana Tobacco Quitline will continue to provide free telephone quit coaching services and web services. Smokers who are ready to set a quit date can still call the Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW for quit coaching and assistance. *Indiana Behavitor Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2001-2009 **Monthly cigarette stamp and revenue reports, Indiana Department of Revenue, 2001-2009

Post play key as Lady Knights topple Northfield Southwood defeats Lady Norse 34-26 in consolation matchup
SOUTHWOOD’S Abby Harness (40) goes up against a trio of Northfield defenders in the Dec. 30 consolation game against the inter-county rivals. Southwood rallied after halftime to defeat the Norse 34-26. (photo by Brent Swan) by Brent Swan Metropolitan School District of Wabash rivals County Northfield and Southwood met Dec. 30, 2010, in the Wabash
County Basketball Tournament girls’ consolation game. Southwood looked to capitalize on their size advantage by utilizing a strong front court
featuring 6’0” senior center Abby Harness, in addition to Ana Marie Farlow, Jessica Pegg, and Mollie Harnish, all listed at 5’10” or better.
Northfield was hoping their team speed and defense would allow them to offset Southwood’s size, and for much of the first half, the Lady Norse defense stifled the Lady Knight offense. Northfield jumped out to an 8-1 lead with 3:06 left in the first quarter before Southwood’s Sarah White went on a scoring barrage, putting up five unanswered points as the quarter closed with the Lady Norse in front, 8-6. The Lady Norse stretched the lead to 12-6 early in the second quarter after jumpers by Michelle Hendricks and Katie Stephan. At the 5:14 mark, Southwood finally got Harness going after posting up her defender. She would score on consecutive possessions to pull the Knights within one at 12-11 with 2:48 left in the half. Stephan would
score three more for the Lady Norse before the half ended, with the Lady Norse up 15-14. “We were outsized in the post and had trouble with their post player (Harness),” Northfield coach Courtney Cervenka said. “The girls gave a much improved effort from the game before. We just have to learn the importance of each individual possession.” The Lady Knights came out firing on all cylinders in the third quarter, outscoring Northfield 8-0 on four points from Harness, and two each from White and Farlow. The quarter ended with the Lady Knights up 22-15. “Credit that (third quarter shutout) to the kids buying into what we were talking about at halftime,” said Southwood coach Brian Bassett. “We talked about playing with more heart and more intensi-
ty, and we came out and did that nicely in the second half.” The tempo picked up in the fourth quarter as Northfield scored on its first two possessions as Morgan Peas and Sidney Reed connected on layups to start the quarter. would Southwood again turn to Harness to provide a clutch shot as she scored the next three for the Knights stretching the lead to 2519 with 5:40 left in the game. With Harness on the bench with her fourth personal foul, Northfield tied the game at 26 after Reed connected with 3:22 to play. “Abby is a dominant post player and she helps us on the court in a number of ways,” Bassett said. “When she’s out there she changes the game. I had to leave her on the bench for a few minutes after her fourth foul, and Ana Marie Farlow, Mollie
Harnish, and Jessica Pegg all did a good job stepping in for her. “They might not be the dominant post player she is, but they can hit a jump shot and helped fill that void nicely to allow us to get the win.” Harness re-entered the game at the 3:00 mark and was able to avoid her fifth foul and help the Knights shut out the Norse the rest of the way. Southwood closed out the contest with eight more points to capture the contest 3426. “I thought Northfield came out ready to play. My hat is off to them for being aggressive early and really making us work,” Bassett said. “In the second half I thought we came out and dictated the tempo early. I got a little fired up at halftime and the girls responded well and were able to hold on and get the ‘W’.”

January 5, 2010
Southwood Knights use defense to jumpstart offense in victory over Manchester “ T h e y (Southwood) hit some timely threes. It felt like each time we had some momentum going our way, they’d nail another one,” Cripe said. “We rebounded well, and we took care of the ball pretty well. We try to keep the turnovers less than 15 and we did that, we had 14. But, we still forced some passes and it cost us.” For the Squires, Austin Flack and Scott Baker each scored 11; Aric Howard scored six; Caleb Thomas and Jim Sainsbury had four; and Self had two. For the Knights, Collin Huston and Levi Winget scored 11; Connor Hobbs and Codie Shaffer each chipped in 10; Mike Cook had seven; Shane Smith added two; and Devin Dale had one.

by Brent Swan Over the past few games, Southwood Knights head coach John Burrus has worked with his squad to step up the defense and shut out the expectations people have placed on this year’s team. “I told the guys coming up here if the games go like we hear them, then we should have an easy time up here,” Burrus said. “They found out real quick that wasn’t the case.” Burrus said one of the biggest areas for improvement coming into the game was the defensive intensity the Knights had lacked earlier in the season. “I said that we had to get our hands out in the passing lanes or we weren’t going to get any steals,” Burrus explained, “and I believe we did a better job of that
today.” Instead of the nowusual Southwood fast break offense, the Knights showed they have made the necessary adjustments and realized that the defense can spark the offense. With Mike Cook held to seven points after being shadowed closely throughout the game by Derek Self, Southwood was forced to spread the scoring out. “Self did a tremendous job holding Mike Cook to only seven points,” Manchester coach Aaron Cripe said. “Mike’s a terrific basketball player, and I’ll give him credit for not forcing shots or passes when he was in trouble. “ Manchester led the Knights 11-8 after the first quarter and stretched the lead to 19-13 with three minutes to go in the second before
Southwood stepped up defensively and ran out the half on a 12-0 run to take a 2519 lead into the locker room. The Knights continued their aggressive play in the third quarter, scoring seven unanswered points, pushing their lead to 32-19. “We had really good balance today, and we won a grind it type of game,” Burrus said. “I told those guys I’ve coached for a while and I’ve been on both sides of wins and losses and I really liked the way we played today. We made our adjustments and started making them chase us.” Manchester was unable to mount a rally of their own to take the lead, but managed to find several areas of play they were happy with in the 52-38 loss.

JUST A THOUGHT: “Never think of the future it comes soon enough.” ~ Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) IS IT TOO LATE TO TALK PUMPKINS? It was just a week before Thanksgiving when we decided to finish up the garden’s produce. There were forty-some small pumpkins stacked in the garage waiting, patiently, for me to do something with them. Most people were getting themselves ready for Christmas. Not us, we’re still taking small steps out of fall. Crawling, actually. I hate giving up my favorite season. We’d planted small cooking pumpkins this year, with the full intent of putting them in the freezer, since the USDA advises against canning it. I’d tried to put up pumpkin once before. It was a huge one. We cut it down, boiled it, and
mashed it up, put it in freezer bags and ta-da! The freezer died and we lost everything in it. This year, I did a little research on ways to prepare pumpkin. Why, you may ask, was I doing research when what I’d done before worked just fine? I don’t know. But I’m thinking there’s a lesson to be learned from it. Most of what I read was saying to slice it in half and bake it. They claimed this method was much faster than boiling it. I’m all for fast, so that’s what we’d do. (This is the first area where common sense is lacking.) Mary and Brenda were here, helping: cutting stems, saving seeds, and at times, slipping on the slime that had found its way to the floor. With the pumpkin in the oven, there was to be liquid in the bottom of the pan and a covering over it. Well, my water ran dry, so I decided to dump a little more in the bottom of the pan. I was using a stoneware
casserole dish. The minute I poured the cold water in on the hot dish, (common sense area #2) I knew that pan was a goner. I stood there not believing what I’d just done. The second dish in the oven was taking just as long, and was running out of water, too, but I wasn’t about to ruin yet another baking dish. Waiting on oven space, with the evergrowing mound of sliced pumpkin, we started putting bowls of pumpkin and water in the microwave. Before too long, there were bowls of pumpkin lining the counters, waiting their turn to get into the microwave. I stopped for a moment, scanned the kitchen and realized this entire process was nuts! (Common sense area #3 — third time’s a charm!) I went back to the way I’d done it a few years’ ago: I took my big enamel canner, dumped all the pumpkin I could in it, covered it with water and let it boil. Once the pumpkin was soft, we ran it

through the sauce machine. It took the rind, shot it out one side, and gave us a nice smooth pumpkin pulp out the other. We measured the pulp out according to the recipes we’d use, burped the plastic bags, and in the freezer it went. So, yeah, I guess the moral of this story is: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. ~Lynnanne HAVE NEWS you’d like to share?

Norse outlast Apaches to win County title, 60-37 Henderson and Shea Beauchamp got the Apaches back within two. The Apaches struggled to get anything going over the last three and a half minutes of the quarter, however, and found themselves down 17-6 after one. “We kept them from the transition game as much as possible,” said Northfield coach Moe Smedley. “We tried to control the tempo of the game and I thought for the most part we did, but we had our moments when they got in their transition game. Make no mistakes about it, Wabash is a muchimproved team with a lot of fine athletes, but I’m proud of the way our kids stepped up.” After Givens opened the scoring in the second quarter as well, the Apaches recorded two scores to cut the lead to a single digit. The two teams battled back and forth throughout the stan-
za, but the Norse never allowed their lead to fall below seven. At one point they even built the lead as high as 13, however, Hentgen scored four points in the final nine seconds – giving him eight in the quarter – shrinking the lead to nine at the break, 2920. “I felt like right from the start we didn’t attack like we wanted to attack,” said Wabash coach Tom Robbins, “we got really passive with their zone again like we did the last time we played them. We started attacking in the second quarter but at that point we were already down nine and that’s kind of where it stayed. “I really felt like the second quarter was the way we needed to start. We had them kind of rattled a little bit with the pressure and that translated into us getting to the basket at the other end, but we needed a lot more penetration than
what we had.” The two teams matched one another in the third quarter with eight points each, and the difference stood at nine heading into the final stanza, but that is when Northfield finally pulled away good. They for opened the quarter with a 14-2 run, which forced Wabash to try to get back in the game with outside shooting. “We went back and forth through the third,” Robbins said, “and when they started stretching out a little bit we went for broke, and we came up broke.” The Apaches were also forced to send the Norse to the charity stripe on several occasions in order to preserve the clock. In the fourth quarter, the Norse connected on 17-of-18 free throw attempts to cap the 23-point victory. “The guys wanted it pretty bad,” Smedley explained. “Coming into the
tournament we were about 52% as a team from the free throw line, so I was as amazed about their free throw shooting as I was winning the tournament.” “I had to call a couple of time outs to get them calmed down,” he added, “because I didn’t want them to get caught up in a helterskelter game because we’re not very good at that. I like to play smart basketball, and if you’re helter-skelter you forget some of the things you’re supposed to do to win. Overall they did a good job and really showed how hard they’ve worked to get this.” Givens led all scorers with 18 points, while Chad Glasscock had 16, Dustin Echard scored 10, and Justin Parker added 11 for the Norse. The Apaches were led by Hentgen’s 16 points, while Henderson chipped in seven.

(photo by Eric Christiansen) by Shaun Tilghman When Northfield and Wabash took the floor for the boys’ championship game of the 2010 Wabash County Tournament, Dec. 30, at Manchester, both teams were ready for a tough battle ahead. In the end the Norse came away with the
win, defeating the Apaches 60-37 in a game that was much closer than the final score. Each team was full of emotion as Wabash was coming off their first win of the season – having bested Southwood in the opening round of the tournament – while Northfield was
riding a five-game winning streak after downing Manchester in their first-round contest. Ryan Givens got things started with a bucket for the Norse, which was answered by Alex Hentgen at the other end. The Norse then went on a 6-0 run before baskets by Matt

Wabash girls down Manchester, win fifth-straight County Tournament
KELSEY CROMER (12) looks to dish the ball as Manchester’s Kalene Freshour applies pressure on defense. Cromer led all scorers with 27 points, helping Wabash to a 70-42 win and their fifth consecutive Wabash County Tournament title. (photo by Eric Christiansen) by Shaun Tilghman On Dec. 30, the Lady Apaches entered the 2010 Wabash County Tournament championship game as four-year defending champs, and they walked away with a fifth-straight title after defeating the host Lady Squires 7042. Wabash is the first girls’ team to ever win five consecutive titles and only the second team in the history of the tournament to do so – the Manchester boys were the first, winning five straight from 1980 to 1985. The Lady Apaches and the Lady Squires traded scores during the first quarter, with Wabash carrying a slight advantage after one, 13-10. “I was pleased that we got a good start,” said Manchester coach Mark Underwood. “I thought it was huge that we came out ready to play because you don’t
want to get buried early.” Then Wabash found their rhythm, scoring the first 21 points of the second quarter. Kaleigh Hensley and Kelsey Cromer scored 13 and 10 in the stanza, respectively, while Hannah Little r e c o r d e d Manchester’s only four points of the quarter. Heading into the break, the Lady Apaches owned a 24-point lead, 38-14. “To be honest I think it was just an adjustment period for both teams,” explained Wabash coach Scott Bumgardner. “The officials were calling it very tight, so I think with two teams that are used to pressuring the basketball there’s going to be an adjustment period. Both teams went through that and we just adjusted a little quicker. Offensively we got some good looks and Kelsey Cromer and Kaleigh Hensley had nice quarters for us to
build a little lead, then our defense settled down and we went on a nice run.” Underwood said, “I was pretty pleased overall with most of the first quarter, but in the second quarter, things kind of went south for us offensively. We had a hard time getting any baskets to fall and just the opposite seemed to happen for Wabash; they got hot, and that kind of deflated the girls. We kind of got a little flat and went into the locker room with a pretty large deficit.” The Lady Apaches came out of the half looking to extend their lead. They put down the first five points in the third before Kayla Flack stepped up for the Lady Squires, scoring eight points in less than two minutes. Cromer went on a run of her own, however, hitting a trey, two free throws and two buckets in the final three minutes of the quarter. In the final stanza,
Manchester opened with an 8-3 run sparked by a basket and two free throws from Kaylee Watson. The Lady Squires had a hard time getting shots to fall, but they managed to make good on 8-of-9 free throw attempts. With one minute left to play all of the Wabash starters were watching the game from the bench; Manchester won the quarter 1613, but Wabash still held a 28-point lead as the game concluded. “I was pleased with Watson off the bench,” Underwood stated. “Flack struggled in the first half and got a little down on herself, but I was really pleased with how she was able to come out in the second half. In the second half, we were able to come out and play with them pret-
ty much; that second quarter was just a killer for us.” Bumgardner concluded, “I think [the tournament] was a tale of two games really. We were good defensively [in the first round] but offensively we weren’t executing well and weren’t real consistent. I thought this was a great game in which our defense couldn’t really pressure – we couldn’t get the steals and get a lot of things going that we normally do – so we had to be a lot better offensively and I thought we were.” Cromer was the game’s leading scorer with a career-high 27 points; Hensley wasn’t far behind with 26. Flack scored 16, Little had eight, and Watson finished with seven.

E A R T H Q UA K E FELT DEC. 30, 2010, 7:55 A.M.: So that this rare event is recorded, I want to include in my column this week that as my husband and I were finishing breakfast on Dec. 30, 2010, we felt the floor and table shake. WWKI confirmed that a small earthquake (4.0 magnitude) with the epicenter between Greentown and Kokomo had occurred as was reported from many in their listening area. Parts of Indiana are located on what is known as the New Madrid fault, which got its name from the town of New Madrid, Mo., where the New Madrid Earthquakes occurred from
December 1811 to F e b r u a r y 1812. During this time, there were three or four big seismic events that had an estimated 8.0 magnitude, “strong enough to cause the nearby Mississippi River to temporarily flow backward.” Geologists suspect that the New Madrid fault is a failed rift valley – a place where the North American continent almost split into two pieces. On April 18, 2008, WANE in Fort Wayne reported “a moderate earthquake shook many residents in their beds this morning in Northeastern Indiana.” The epicenter of this earthquake “was seven miles from West Salem, Ill., and 61 miles north northwest of Evansville, Ind.” I don’t remember the one in 2008, but I think I will remember this one.

Historical Society to provide unique look at North Manchester in 1938 The feature film at the monthly meeting of the North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society will be a film made in North Manchester in 1938. The film was a project of The NewsJournal and Tri Kappa Sorority. A professional photographer came over from Ohio to make the movie. It features many businesses, clubs, factories and even a parade of school children led by the Central School band. Hundreds and hundreds of individuals are shown in this film. See if you can
identify anybody – parents, uncles and aunts, friends and neighbors. Maybe you will even spot yourself somewhere in all the action. One Timbercrest resident saw her older sister in the scene where a young man gets his girl a bouquet from the green house. Another resident will see her father (a minister) following a wedding party out of the church. See how people dressed in 1938. See the cars they drove in 1938. See businesses and factories in 1938 that are no longer in existence

So, as we look back over the last few months of this year we would like to thank the following businesses, individuals, and churches for making it possible for
our Community Youth Center to exist and continue to meet important needs in the lives of our area youth: Lee Ann George, Diane Weekly, Tiffany Butcher, Judi Wiles, Terri Adams, Denise Yocum, Dan Harshman, Roxanne Mann, Mitch and Sylvia Figert, Brent and Susan Dawes, Angie Beauchamp, Dick and Darlene Rider, Joe and Judy Richard, Waganor, Kelly, Jackie, and Jeremiah Halderman, Rick and Dee Grindle, Ken Benson, Margo Boyer, Ken Perkins, Wabash Rotary, Dallas Winchester Senior Center, and Hoffman’s Nursery. Also, Miller F u r n i t u r e , Marketstreet Grill,
Beauchamp and McSpadden, Modoc’s Market, Wabash County United Fund, Olive Branch Church of God, Harvest Fellowship Church, Lagro United Methodist Church, Wabash Friends Church, Wabash Presbyterian Church, and gifts given in memory of Phil
Assembly Position Some lifting and painting required. Must have positive attitude. Willing to learn and get a long with others. Roughly 40 hours per week.
