Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Area sinkhole serves as five-million-year time capsule of Indiana ecological history Scientists uncover thousands of bones from paleontological site by Shaun Tilghman In 1996, employees of Irving Materials Inc. (IMI), working the Pipe Creek Jr. limestone quarry in Grant County, discovered a sinkhole that was later found to contain fossils from the Pliocene era, which dates back five million years. Since the first dig 13 years ago the site has yielded a myriad of plant and animal remains predating the Ice Age; it is now considered one of the “most important paleontological sites in the interior of the eastern half of North America”. Dr. James Farlow, Indiana UniversityPurdue University Fort Wayne professor of geology, and Dr. Ron Richards, chief curator of natural history and curator of paleobiology for Indiana State Museum, have spearheaded the extensive excavation process. Farlow first got involved in 1997 and has been working there off and on ever since. “This is basically

like a time capsule of an ecological community that existed here in Indiana,” Farlow said. “Before this was discovered, nobody had ever found a site from this time interval anywhere in the eastern half of North America; since then one has been found in northern Tennessee, but these two sites provide all we know about what this part of the country was like at that time.” Richards added, “When [IMI] made the find they asked the question, ‘what should happen with the materials?’ They wanted this to stay in Indiana so the Indiana State Museum has become the big repository. We’re always out digging – we’ve dug 13 mastodon sites in Indiana in the last 25 years – so the fieldwork is something we’re pretty used to doing. “Before Pipe Creek was discovered and interpreted, the geologic map of Indiana presumed there might be sediments like this or rock of this age in Indiana, but there were always question marks. Other than this site or the one in Tennessee the next place you would have

to go would be Florida or Nebraska; everywhere else all the deposits of this age have been washed away or eroded away – in Indiana, all the deposits of dinosaurs have been eroded away. We had plenty of mastodons from the Ice Age, and we knew it was possible to have these things buried in sinkholes in Indiana,

but we’ve just now happened to fill in the gap.” According to Farlow, by the time IMI actually realized what they had discovered they had already removed much of the fossil-bearing sediment and placed it elsewhere, but it has since been compiled into a “spoil pile”. Farlow, along with

groups of volunteers, processed material within the sinkhole itself until 2005 before moving on to processing the spoil pile material, which he says could be described as salvaging. When the fossil-bearing sediment was removed it destroyed the context in terms of layering, but based on their dis-

coveries from the sediment still in the sinkhole they can determine what layer things came from. Prior fossil discoveries, mainly from coastal sites, provided insight into the Pliocene era in North America, but glacial erosion scattered most fossil remains in the interior of the (continued on page 6)

YMCA selects new Aquatics Director For over 120 years the YMCA has been teaching people how to swim. Swimming is a fun and enjoyable activity for children and adults alike, and it has many health benefits, as it’s a fun and easy way to stay physically active and improve strength, flexibility and stamina. In an area with many lakes, learning how to swim and about water safety is especially important. Through swim programs at the Y, kids and adults learn water safety skills, develop confidence in and around the water and enjoy swimming

and water activities. Because the YMCA’s aquatics program is so important to our community, we are happy to welcome Steven Khun as our new Aquatics Director. He will be heading up the aquatics departments at both the Wabash County YMCA and K o s c i u s k o Community YMCA in a shared services position. Khun is a lifelong resident of Kosciusko County. He graduated from Warsaw High School and IPFW with a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership and

Supervision and an Associate of Science in Business. His experience in aquatics began at the K o s c i u s k o Community YMCA in 2006 as a lifeguard and swim instructor as well as a summer day camp counselor. In 2007, he became the Aquatics Coordinator at the Jorgensen Family YMCA in Fort Wayne before becoming the Sports and Aquatics Director at the Whitley County Family YMCA for four years. His most current role has been as the Aquatics Director of the

Jorgensen Family YMCA. He and his wife, Falon, have a 7week-old son named Keaton. Khun says, “I am very excited to again be working in the community I call home, along with the great community of Wabash. I look very much forward to bringing my knowledge of aquatics to both branches in order to help them grow both in programming and in community involvement. I have been blessed to be part of the Y for so many years and hope to share the great benefits the Y can provide

to all I work with.” Khun will begin his new position on July 25. Clint Kugler, CEO of the Wabash County YMCA, says, “Steven’s education, background and desire to equip every child with water safety education make him a great choice to our aquatics initiative. I am confident that he will position the Y to strengthen the foundation of our community through programs that promote youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.” The Y is the leading nonprofit committed to strengthening com-

munities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. All the efforts and offerings of the Wabash County YMCA are guided by the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Every day, the Y works side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure everyone regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. The Wabash County YMCA is a United Fund agency.

Legislative Council to evaluate school superintendent salaries

Indiana school superintendent salaries and benefits will be a topic for interim study committee discussion, thanks to recent action by the Indiana Legislative Council. This council followed the lead of State Sen. Jim Banks (R - Columbia City), who last session called for an in-depth study of administra-

tive pay. The panel charged the Interim Study Committee on Education Issues with studying superintendent compensation throughout Indiana and evaluating whether a statewide salary cap based upon the number of students per school district would be beneficial. “I’m alarmed at the growth of administra-

tor salaries and benefits across Indiana,” Banks said. “I look forward to exploring legislative options for lowering or containing these costs. I believe we need to reach a goal of having 65 percent of education dollars spent in the classroom.” I n d i a n a ’ s Legislative Council, consisting of leaders from all four caucus-

es, recently issued assignments for interim study committees made up of Republican and Democrat lawmakers from both chambers of the General Assembly. Banks, a member of the Senate Committee on Education and Career Development, said Hoosier tax dollars should follow students into the class-

room and not pay for bloated administrative costs. According to the Indiana Department of Education, there are 291 superintendents whose salaries total nearly $33 million. Banks said salaries range from $29,400 to $262,800 with the average $113,162. That average pay is higher than the salaries of Gov. Mitch

Residual herbicide restrictions affect cover crop decisions

With interest in cover crops increasing among farmers unable to plant corn because of bad weather, Purdue Extension plant experts say growers should consider herbicide residue restrictions when making planting decisions. Cover crops are primarily used to reduce soil erosion on unplanted fields, and they may be able to assist with weed suppression and improve nutrient recycling – both important benefits, especially in a year when some fields were left fallow after a wet planting season. But, because of residual restrictions on corn and soybean herbicide labels, farmers who have applied herbicides with the intention of growing corn or soybeans may have

long waiting periods before they can plant a different crop. These restrictions may not apply to cover crops that are used only for soil erosion control, but some farmers choose to make hay from cover crops, said Purdue Extension Weed Specialist Glenn Nice. “If the grower harvests any part of the plant, it becomes a crop in the eyes of the Office of the Indiana State Chemist,” Nice said. “At that point, you have to follow the residual restrictions on the label. If you break label, you are breaking the law.” Even if the cover crop is used only for reducing soil erosion and will not be harvested, Nice still advises growers to look at herbicide labels.

Farmers need to see what the herbicide controls, such as grasses or broadleaf and then plants, whether the intended cover crop is a grass or a broadleaf plant, said Purdue Extension Weed Scientist Bill Johnson. “Sometimes, growers might even see their cover crop listed in the section about what weeds the herbicide controls, meaning the crop clearly isn’t going to be successful,” Johnson said. Many of the cover crop species historically have been considered weeds. Thus, Johnson and Nice emphasized that cover crops need to be properly managed in order to conserve soil and maximize corn and soybean produc-

tion. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, there is not much data on species being used as cover crops,” said Nice. “But with growing interest in cover crops as a conservation method, new studies are looking into how they respond to common corn and soybean herbicides.” If the crop is sensitive to the herbicide, longlasting residues could hinder emergence and inhibit growth. Residual herbicides may constrain stand establishment and eliminate the weed suppression function of a cover crop, Johnson said.

Daniels and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett. In an effort to help raise Indiana’s low graduation rates, the committee will also review potential causes and the positive impact of school counselors, teachers,

administrators and parents. The in-depth study will also focus on best practices used to improve graduation rates across the country and identify training and technical assistance opportunities that work effectively.

ISP reminds citizens of firework laws

The Indiana State Police would like for all Hoosiers to have a safe Fourth of July holiday. Due to many Hoosiers celebrating our nation’s independence with the use of fireworks the Indiana State Police would like to inform citizens of the Indiana fireworks law, which is in place for the safety of everyone. The law states that: - Only individuals over the age of 18 can purchase fireworks. - A person 18 years of age or older has to be present when anyone younger than 18 is using or possessing fireworks. - Fireworks can only be used on the user’s property, the property of someone who granted permission for fireworks to be discharged, or a place designated by the Indiana State Fire Marshal for the discharge of consumer fireworks. - Fireworks can only be discharged between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. any day except on Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and New Years Eve when the times are 9 a.m. to midnight. It is important to check with local officials, as local ordinances may restrict or increase the days and hours fireworks can be used. A person who violates this law can be charged with a class C infraction. If a person recklessly, knowingly or intentionally uses fireworks and the violation causes property damage, they can be charged with a class A misdemeanor. If there is bodily injury it is enhanced to a class D felony and if there is death, a class C felony. Adults are encouraged to constantly monitor children who use fireworks. In the past, children have suffered needless burns on their arms and hands as a result of improperly using bottle rockets, firecrackers and sparklers. All fireworks have the potential to be dangerous when used improperly. It is everyone’s responsibility to make sure we have a safe holiday.

Governor Daniels announces transition panel for the Department of Toxicology

Governor Mitch Daniels recently announced the formation of a three-member panel to oversee the transition of the Department of Toxicology from the Indiana University School of Medicine to the State of Indiana. Daniels appointed Judge Linda Chezem, Dr. James Klaunig and Michael Medler to serve on the com-

mittee. Senate Enrolled Act 431, authored by Senator Tom Wyss (R Fort Wayne), moved management and oversight of the Department of Toxicology from the Indiana University School of Medicine to the executive branch of state government. Additionally, it requires the governor to appoint a three-

member panel to oversee this transition. All members of the transition board must have expertise and experience in toxicology and at least one member must be a judge. The board will deliver its report to the governor and legislative council by Sept. 1, 2012, and will sunset in December of 2012. Department opera-

National speaker to address Wabash’s key leaders Dr. John Townsend has authored or coauthored 25 books (including Gold Medallion winner, Boundaries) that have sold over 5 million copies. He is a licensed, clinical psychologist out of California. As a national thought leader, Townsend cohosts the New Life radio program on 200 radio stations with 3 million listeners. For the past 10 years, Townsend has also done executive leadership coaching with many top-level executives across the nation. His latest book is called: Leadership Beyond Reason: How Great Leaders Succeed by Harnessing the Power of Their Values, Feelings and Intuition. Dr. Townsend will be coming to Wabash to speak on Being a Leader Whom People Want to Follow, on July 14, from noon to 1:30 p.m., at the Wabash Friends Church (3563 S. SR 13). Each attendee will get a copy of Dr. Townsend’s latest leadership book – Leadership Beyond

Reason. To register, go online at www.wabashfriendscounseling.com and select the July 14 Wabash event; or email scott@wabashfriends.o rg or text your name to 260-579-5406 or call 877350-1658. When asked what he will be speaking on, Townsend said, “By definition, a true leader is one whom others want to follow. And believe it or not, these leaders don’t depend on some elusive “x” factor to make this happen. Rather, fruitful leaders have the ability to connect with, lead and inspire those around them. I will be providing principles and tips to help leaders achieve higher levels of performance in their professions. We will explore the tangible character traits, habits and practical skills needed – not only get the job done – but to reach into the lives and the hearts of the people that you lead. When leaders make this kind of connection with the people they are leading, people naturally want to follow! Good

leaders attract the right people and frustrate the right people. Good leaders involve others and share the vision. Good leaders know how to handle failure. Good leaders are real, not simply positive. Position alone is never enough. Connection counts.” Scott Makin, Director, Wabash Friends Counseling Center (co-sponsor) commented, “We are very fortunate to have someone of Dr. Townsend’s caliber in the Wabash area. I hope people don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of the top ten leadership trainers in the country. I am excited for those business leaders who bring their executive team to learn these key skills that will take them to the next level.” Currently Townsend is conducting an intensive leadership coaching program for top level executives in California, Dallas and one that started in in January Indianapolis. This program takes place in an

intimate setting where teams of a maximum of 10 meet one full day a month. As part of this team, participants have a unique opportunity to spend personal training time with Townsend. He works with team members on developing powerful strategies to help them achieve significant and lasting results in their professional and personal lives. Townsend is beginning to interview candidates for the 2012 group in Indianapolis. Because there has been such interest in this unique leadership program, Townsend will add another group in Kokomo in 2012. For more information contact Scott Makin, scott@wabashfriends.org, or visit www.drtownsend.com. Townsend is a dynamic communicator, who is entertaining, thought-provoking and immeasurably practical. Makin said, “I have known John for 13 years since he started speaking at a personal growth confer-

ence we do each year for the community where we have nearly 900 people attend. When John told me of his coaching program for top-level executives, I knew I needed to convince him to come out to Indiana. John’s per-

spective is very unique on leadership since he goes deeper than just leadership skills. He helps leaders grow in their character traits that underlie every successful leadership skill. I really wanted to provide the key leaders

in Indiana a chance to interact with John.” Townsend is also the co-founder of Ultimate Leadership, a one-week intensive leadership training in Southern California that attracts executive leaders across the nation.

continent. The Pipe Creek site is unique, however, because the glaciers actually buried the sinkhole thus aiding the preservation process. “It’s part of our natural heritage,” Farlow explained, “and it’s remarkable to think that before the glaciers came through there was an ecological community here that was quite different than anything we have in Indiana now. The other interest is that there were a lot of animals living here in Indiana at that time that we no longer

think of as being North American, but that’s because they’ve become extinct here. “I suppose the vertebrate animals are what will interest people most but I should also say that we’ve found a lot of fossil plants as well. By far the most abundant animals are pond animals – frogs and pond turtles – but we’ve also found snakes, salamanders, a giant land tortoise, mice, squirrels, and pocket gophers. “Also, a variety of carnivores, both small and large, the

July 6, 2011

most spectacular of which is a dog-like carnivore that’s built along the lines of a hyena for bone crushing. We have even found camels (both ordinary size and giant giraffe-like ones), a short-faced bear, a teleoceras (water rhinoceros), and the most common are peccaries (pig-like animals). We’ve recovered a lot of microscopic stuff as well, including pollen, which helps determine what kinds of flowers were growing in the area.” The discovery of

remains of animals indigenous to warmer environments suggests that the climate for Indiana during this time period was warm and temperate, but somewhat dry. “We had a giant land tortoise in this site and when those were present [Indiana] was frostfree,” Richards stated. “So when this was happening Indiana didn’t freeze, we didn’t have cold winters, thus you can see we’ve had a big range of climates in the past. This gives people a little more infor-

mation to think with – is it global warming, is it natural, or is it human-caused. “It’s important for people to look through their heritage in Indiana, and our job is to be able to preserve and interpret Indiana’s natural heritage. In the long run, the more you know about the past the more you can make decisions about your future.” Farlow added, “We’ve looked at so many lines of evidence – from chemistry of the bone to isotopic signatures of

the sediments to the chemistry of the sediments – and it’s interesting how it all fits together to paint a picture of what the ecosystem of this region looked like. We have recovered a lost world that no one knew anything about.” According to Farlow, when they worked the site three weeks each year from 2003-05 it was funded by a large grant from the National Science Foundation, but since then he has basically been funding the work himself, and he

generally only has the money for one week at a time. He concluded by saying he was overly ambitious in thinking they would finish everything this year, but if IMI will allow it they would continue to work the site in the future. Many of the findings from the Pipe Creek sinkhole are already, or will soon be, on display at the Indiana State Museum, 650 W. Washington St., Indianapolis.

HEARING HEALTH CARE CENTER

Grandma’s Kitchen and Cakes expands to North Manchester by Aaron Turner Grandma’s Kitchen and Cakes has opened in downtown North Manchester with Grandma Sue Walls, running the business. Walls is no stranger to the food industry, having worked in different restaurants since the age of 16. When the facility at 210 E. Main St. became available, she jumped at the opportunity to expand her already impressive cake business. “God always seemed to be pointing me to North Manchester, but it was on His terms,” Walls said. Grandma’s has been open for just over three weeks now, and already, there’s a steady stream of regular customers. “People really seem to love my biscuits and gravy,” Walls said. “Everything is made from scratch here, and folks can tell the difference.” Located downtown, Walls said she can have the fast-paced clients in-and-out within two minutes. “I have homemade breakfast sandwiches that I can throw in and be ready in just a minute,” she said. “So if someone is in a hurry, they can still get a good breakfast while they’re on their way.” And for the dine-in customers, wholesome food can be expected. “I never fry anything,” she said. “I

spray everything, so it’s healthier than some of the alternatives.” In addition to a full line of breakfasts, Grandma’s also does cakes for all occasions. Walls has been baking cakes for 30 years. “I started baking for my kids,” she said. “I would go around and buy different pans at garage sales, and just kept getting asked to do more and more.” She opened her first cake shop in Pierceton a few years ago, and when the former Jake’s Cafe became available, she jumped on the opportunity to run her bake shop and restaurant out of one facility. The northern shop is

still open, although all the baking is done in North Manchester. “It’s exciting to be a part of the North Manchester community,” Walls said. “I have family from around here, and I go to church here, so opening a business just seems right.” Grandma’s Kitchen and Cakes has daily specials, including beef and noodles and fresh salads. On Sundays, she also offers a buffetstyle breakfast. In addition, the business also offers a frequent-eater discount. “All of our meals are already priced with the drink included,” Walls said. “So the price on the menu is what you’ll pay.”

Carry-out meals are available by calling 574529-3158. Please leave a message if no one answers. Walls also said that if a customer mentions this story, they will receive a free donut with the purchase of a coffee or cappuccino.

Meetings prepare farmers for agricultural fertilizer regulation Purdue Extension is teaming up with the Office of Indiana State Chemist and Indiana Farm Bureau to help farmers beat the Jan. 1 deadline for complying with a state fertilizer regulation. Extension specialists and educators will conduct training sessions about, and OISC representatives will administer certification exams for, Category 14 fertilizer material applicators and distributors at locations throughout Indiana this summer, said Fred Whitford, coordinator of Purdue Pesticide Programs and a training instructor. “We’re going out into the state to provide these training and exam opportuni-

ties for growers to make it easier for them to come into compliance,” Whitford said. “There’s no fee to register. We’re trying to make it as painless as possible.” Category 14 was created by legislation passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 2009. The law requires farmers handling manure from confined feeding operations to be certified through the state chemist’s office. CFOs are livestock facilities that house at least 300 cattle or 600 swine or sheep, or 30,000 fowl, such as chickens, turkeys or other poultry. The fertilizer rule applies to those who use or transport in excess of 10 cubic

yards, or 4,000 gallons, of manure originating from a CFO per year. This includes farmers who apply manure from a CFO to their land. “This certification program is intended to make sure we understand the process of applying manure, and that we apply it in a way that helps us produce a better crop and keeps it out of water,” Whitford said. At nine sites across Indiana, Purdue Extension will host three-hour training sessions on safe and effective fertilizer material handling and application practices, followed by a 90minute certification exam. Two exam-only dates also are scheduled. Advance regis-

tration is required in all cases. Participants must bring a government-issued ID and also should bring a calculator to the training/exam events.

Troopers from the Indiana State Police Peru Post recently received information that Wendy F. Walsh, 32, Denver, who was wanted on a Wabash Circuit Court arrest warrant for revocation of bond, was apparently at her residence in Denver. Walsh’s bond was being revoked from a previous class D felony charge for possession of methamphetamine. Officers went to Walsh’s home at 167 Harrison St., Denver, to serve the felony warrant. Despite officers noticing occupants inside the dwelling, their knocks at the front door were

ignored. After troopers requested entry into the home, via loudspeaker, they were allowed inside the residence. During a thorough search of the home, officers found Walsh hiding in the attic, underneath insulation. When officers started to place handcuffs on Walsh, she allegedly resisted their efforts. She was quickly brought under control and taken into custody. She is incarcerated in the Miami County Jail. In addition to the Wabash County arrest warrant, Walsh also faces a class A misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest.

Indiana State Police at the Peru Post recently released statistics for the month of May. Troopers issued 1,048 traffic citations and wrote 1,471 traffic warnings. Troopers also arrested 36 impaired drivers and made 56 criminal arrests. Troopers issued 22 commercial motor vehicle citations and investigated 40 vehicle crashes. Troopers assigned to the Indiana State Police Peru Post assisted with security and directed traffic at the Indianapolis 500. Troopers also conducted programs on traffic safety, stranger danger, and methamphetamine awareness throughout the Peru District, which covers Wabash, Miami, Tipton, Fulton, Grant, Howard and Cass counties. Lieutenant Matt Bilkey, district commander of the Indiana State Police Peru Post, would like to remind Hoosiers that, starting July 1, texting while operating a motor vehicle will be a violation of Indiana law. “Anyone caught reading or writing an e-mail or text message, while driving a motor vehicle, can be issued a traffic citation.” This is farm-growing season in Indiana. It is also the time when marijuana growers start to plant their illegal crops. The Indiana State Police encourages citizens to report suspected illegal drug activity by calling the Indiana State Police Marijuana Tip Line at 1-888-873-1694.

ISP Peru Post adds three probationary troopers, veteran trooper Forty-three probationary troopers from the 70th Indiana State Police Academy classes were recently issued their state police cars at the Indiana State Police garage located at the Indiana State Police Indianapolis District.

The probationary officers recently completed a three-month field training period with veteran troopers. They will serve a oneyear probationary period before attaining permanent status as a trooper. In addition to the field training, the new officers received

Biggs approximately 840 hours of structured training in law enforcement techniques when they were assigned to Indiana State Police Academy. The curriculum included 80 hours of criminal law instruction, 50 hours of vehicle operations training, 30 hours of psychology, and 40 hours of “Survival Spanish.” They also developed skills in criminal investigation, vehicle crash

Halderman auctions prove farmland is a stable investment A recent Halderman Real Estate auction proved why farmland remains one of the best and most stable investments in anyone’s portfolio. The Bippus Lions C o m m u n i t y Building hosted an auction of 119 acres of productive farmland on the Wabash/Huntington County Line. The land was divided into multiple tracts allowing bidders the opportunity to bid on individual parcels of land. The first tract was located in Wabash County and covered 40 acres of

tillable land in Chester Township. Tracts 2-5 were in Dallas Township of Huntington County with a mixture of woods, potential building sites and homestead. the When the bidding concluded, the Wabash County land sold for a record high of $7.025 per acre. The remaining parcels of land sold from $3,800 per acre to $4,082 per acre. In comparison, Halderman auctions conducted in Wabash County in 2011 have produced the following results: 124 acres,

Pleasant Township, $5,443 per acre - 45 acres, Pleasant Township, $4,767 per acre - 40 acres, Chester Township, $7,025 per acre “This sale represents a new record for farmland sales in Wabash County and demonstrates the value farmland owners place on the asset they cherish the most, the land itself,” stated Howard Halderman, president of Halderman Farm Management and Real Estate Services, Inc. “This is further evidence that the agriculture industry

in the county is strong and vibrant.” In the past five years, the Halderman companies have sold over 830 tracts of transitional/commercial land, farmland and residences throughout Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri and Arkansas through auction and private treaty. These sales totaled over $370 million, making Halderman Real Estate Services one of the largest rural real estate brokers in the Midwest. Halderman Real Estate was recently named the nation’s

MISISON GIRLS RETURN FROM CAIRO: The mission tam sponsored by the LaFontaine United Methodist Church returned from a fiveday work trip to Cairo, Ill., on June 24. Cairo is located at the most southern tip of Illinois where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers converge. In the 19th and early 20th century it was a center of river shipping, but after being bypassed by several railroads, it has lost population and business and is a very depressed and isolated community of only about 3,600 people. Youth works is a national non-denominational Christian group that organizes service work across the country to provide opportunities for a safe and fulfilling experience for both the workers and their beneficiaries. The staff of five in Cairo coordinated all the work done by church groups who come to offer their muscle, sweat, and giving spirit to the community and individuals in need. The kids were housed at the Tigert United Methodist Church of Cairo where they prepared their meals, packed lunches and cleaned the church every day. Cairo High School graciously allowed access to their locker rooms for showering, which was especially fortunate given the very hot and humid weather in the area. Members of the team were: Meghan Brane, Rachel Brane,

Krissa Mechline, Brittany Strickland, Kenzie Rhamy, Danilelle Perlich and Logan Hensley. The girls spent the days working with the Youth works team supervising a children’s day camp, visiting a nursing home, painting houses and cleaning up yards in the city of Cairo. The parish of St. Julie’s from Tinley Park, Ill., also sent teens to the Youth works program to assist the community with revitalization and flood clean up. The teens enjoyed evenings spent in social activities and worship services as they visited landmarks and attended services with local congregations. Chaperones for the trip were Jim Benner and Patricia Walters of LaFontaine. H E T L A F O N TA I N E “ASHLAND DAYS” FESTIVAL committee met on June 28 for the wrap-up session of this year’s festival. Ron Pressler brought the DVD that he had filmed at the Hometown Museum for the group to see for the committee’s approval.

This is a list of what the committee plans on bringing back next year: corn hole, kiddy tractor pull, music, carousel, moon walks, vendors,

pet parade, poker run, tractor show, town wide rummage sales, chicken doodle, and n e e d l ewo rk / q u i l t show. THE HOMETOWN REUNION: The Fiber, Fabric and Needlework exhibit was visited by over 200 festival-goers in LaFontaine. Held at the recently restored Parker and Sons store building, the exhibit featured quilts, woven items, knitting, crocheting, embroidery and many other types of hand-work. Participants were invited to display heirloom items dating prior to 1961 as well as contemporary creations made since that time. The building, currently owned by Charles R. Walters, was an excellent venue for the exhibit and the Woman’s Clubhouse members graciously allowed the use of their rented quilt display racks. Smaller quilt racks; antique benches and other items original to the Parker Store supplemented these. Other store memorabilia and historical pictures of the community were also on display. Visitors shared their memories of shopping at parkers with Bonnie J. Duffey Walters and Mary E. Stuber Brane, both greatgranddaughters of Nancy and Adam parker, original own(continued on page 16)

Time with you was far too short. It seems there should have been more days, but God knew that you were suffering and in His all-knowing ways, took you to a better place where there’s no suffering and one day we can meet again. With you, His joy we’ll share.

Glaucoma is often called a “Sneak Thief of Sight” as at first there are no symptoms. “Vision stays normal and there is no pain. Glaucoma occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises. Without treatment people will slowly lose their peripheral (side) vision. Over time, straight-ahead vision may decrease until no vision remains. Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic

Take a Step toward better health Second annual Steve Brandt Memorial Golf Scramble to benefit YSB

The Wabash County YMCA and American Health Network have teamed up to present our first free “Walk with a Doc” event. Walk with a Doc is a nonprofit organization focused on encouraging healthy physical activity in people of all ages. Its mission is improving the health and well-being of the country by eliminating the nationwide epidemic of obesity. This will be the first walk in Indiana. Join Drs. James and Mary Anne Bain and William Rauh from American Health Network in this first free Walk with a Doc event on July 9. The event will begin at 8 a.m. at Paradise Springs. There will also be special guests Drs. Gregory Garner, O.D. with Midwest Eye Consultants; Nathan Holley, D.C. with W a b a s h Chiropractic Center;

and John Conner, D.D.S. with Family Dentistry joining in on the event. The first 50 people who register will receive a free dri-fit t-shirt! People of all activity levels are encouraged to attend. Following the walk, there will be light refreshments provided by Angels of Mercy and Kroger. Also, those who participated in the walk will be allowed free entry into the Wabash County YMCA, where there will be free Zumba at 10 a.m. and free chair massages provided by Stephanie Ogan from 9 to 11 a.m. Registration forms are available at the Wabash County YMCA and American Health Network. For more information, please contact Christina Doan at 260-563-9622, 260-5632126, or email her at Christina_Doan@ah ni.com

So, why walking? Walking for as little as 30 minutes a day can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease, improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels, elevate your mood, and reduce your risk for osteoporosis, cancer and diabetes. Walking is low impact, and easier on the joints than running. It is safe – with a doctor’s okay – for people with orthopedic ailments, heart conditions, and those who are more than 20 percent overweight. In addition, research has shown that you could gain two hours of life for each hour of regular exercise! That quick stroll around the block seems a little more worthwhile now, doesn’t it? Please make walking a part of your daily routine and join us for our free Walk with a Doc event!

The second annual Steve Brandt Golf Memorial Scramble will be held at The WALDO Golf Course, 5162 W 900 N, Roann, on Aug. 3. Registration will begin at noon with the shotgun start at 1 p.m. Proceeds will benefit the Youth Service Bureau of Wabash County. Teams consist of four players. Costs

The Works, LLC, Ice Cream Care has joined the National “I Pledge” Project. The project rewards children 12 and under with a free ice cream cone for reciting the Pledge of Allegiance from memory. This event is intended to underscore the importance of patriotism among school children. The “I Pledge” Project was launched by Leopold’s Ice Cream on a local scale in Savannah last summer and received the highest award in 2010 from the National Dipper Magazine at the National Ice Cream R e t a i l e r s A s s o c i a t i o n Convention. This year he is reaching out to independent ice cream store across America. The “I Pledge” Project is a positive way to celebrate National Ice Cream Month, which falls

in July. President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984. He also appointed the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day. Reagan recognized the popularity of ice cream in the United States and stated that these two events should be observed with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” The “I Pledge” Project is a perfect example of Reagan’s vision of a suitable activity to recognize Americans’ love of ice cream. Kids can go into The Works and recite the pledge with adult supervision on July 11, 18, and 25. The coupon they receive for reciting it can be redeemed during those days or any time during the month of July.

N. Manchester Historical Society Tailgate giveaway to host well-known photographer set for July 8 Ted Rose, a nationally known photographer of the outdoors and wildlife, will share his pictures and tell of his experiences in capturing interesting moments in the lives of animals and birds at a program of the N. Manchester Historical Society on July 11. This presentation will be held in the Assembly Room of Timbercrest Senior Living Community at 6:40 p.m. As Rose grew up, he was fascinated with the pictures in Field and Stream Magazine and dreamed of someday taking pictures like that. When he

retired from Fox Products in South Whitley after 23 years as a bassoon maker, he started his second career as a photographer, publisher, and teacher. Early on he traveled with his wife to the National Parks where “In one week you can get the same number of pictures that it would take six months to get in the wild”. In the years since then he has concentrated more in the local area always watchful of animals and birds in their natural habitat. Many of his pictures are taken in the wooded areas

s u r r o u n d i n g Timbercrest and in a nearby nature preserve, Wildwood. Sometimes it takes hours in a blind to find the right moment for a spectacular picture. As his interest grew, he discovered that getting the photos published can be as hard as getting the photos themselves. However, his persistence paid off, and he is now published nationally in many magazines, has been recruited for calendars, has illustrated a number of children’s books, and has published articles in text-

books and magazines. He also shares his expertise in creating beautiful images of unexpected moments in a class he teaches at IPFW. On July 11, 6 p.m., at Timbercrest, a tasty dinner will be served. For reservations, call Karl at 9822216 or Evelyn at 9826777. Reservations must be made by noon on July 8. There is a cost for the meal. The program will begin at approximately 6:40 p.m. There is no cost for the program as it is free to the public. All are welcome.

Ivy Tech, Learn More Center receive more than $70,000 in grants The Pauline Barker Education Trust recently awarded Ivy Tech Community College Wabash and the Learn More Center grants totaling more than $70,000 to support adult education programs in Wabash County. The grants will fund programs that focus on improving student success and completion of higher education. The Learn More Center will receive funding for two programs: Ivy Track and FastTrack GED. Ivy Track is a program to improve math, reading, and writing skills for students who plan to enroll at Ivy Tech Community College. The goal is to raise student skill levels in each subject area, preparing them to take college-level coursework immediately upon enrolling at Ivy Tech and eliminating the need for preparatory work at the college. It will save students time and money, allowing them to progress through their degree programs more quick-

ly. Ivy Tech Community College will receive funding for several programs geared toward helping both new and prospective students. One program will include computer skills workshops offered twice a month to assist prospective students with computer basics. Another program, Student S u c c e s s Ambassadors, will allow current students to get paid while mentoring new students. A third program, Completion Scholarships, will assist students who are no longer enrolled but are within fifteen credits of graduation and in good academic standing by providing funding for tuition, fees, and books. The remainder of the grant money will be used to upgrade the college’s science lab for Wabash and County Transit vouchers for students. Pam Guthrie, executive dean of Ivy Tech’s Wabash Instructional Site, is

excited about the impact the grant money will make in the lives of Wabash County students. “The Pauline Barker Education Trust has helped countless Ivy Tech Wabash students over the last nine years,” says Guthrie. “All of our nursing students have benefited from the science and nursing labs and several have received scholarships to finish their last semester of practical nursing. This year’s grant will help students be more successful in completing their goals and cut down the time they spend to get a degree. I am especially excited about being able to offer scholarships to students who have had to stop their training and would like to come back to college to complete their degree.” Pauline J. Barker, a life-long resident of Wabash, is remembered as the manager of Rock City Café, a position she held for 45 years before her retirement. Before her death in 1999, she

IVY TECH AND THE LEARN MORE CENTER were presented checks from the Pauline Barker Grant on June 10. Barker passed away in 1999 and left a trust to be used for education. “I appreciate the collaboration that Ivy Tech and the Learn More Center have with each other,” said Laura Moorman, a representative of the Barker trust. “It’s exactly what she would want her money to be used for.” Pictured are: (from left) Hal Job, Sally Krouse, Cynthia Johnson, Tamata O’Hearn, Laura Moorman, Steve Daily and Joe Cavacini.

The Pauline Barker Education Trust is administered by First Merchants Trust Company. Over the last nine years, the Pauline Barker Trust has provided more than $600,000 in grants to adult educa-

tion programs in Wabash County. The Learn More Center was created by the Community Foundation of Wabash County in response to the $5 million challenge grant from the Community Alliance to Promote Education (CAPE), a Lilly endowment, to provide education services and a learning community to meet the instructional needs of adult

Forage nutrient quality a concern for all, specialists say As wet weather continues to delay the alfalfa harvest in some areas, Purdue Extension specialists say the crop’s nutritional value for livestock feed is on the decline. “The greatest concern is that with each passing day, the crops that should have been harvested lose quality,” said Keith Johnson, Purdue Extension forage specialist. “As alfalfa and other forage crops mature, the cell wall content increases, leading to lower digestibili-

ty, palatability and dry matter intake for livestock.” The percent neutral detergent fiber, or NDF, is a quality factor that can be used to predict how much of the forage an animal will eat. For high-quality alfalfa hay, the NDF is approximately 40 percent. Johnson predicts the NDF for most Indiana alfalfa hay likely is closer to 50 percent. With a higher NDF value, less forage will be consumed. For example, an NDF value of 60 would result in an unexpected dry

matter intake of two percent of body weight, while an NDF value of 40 would be about three percent. Thus, a 1,200-pound cow would eat 24, and not 36, pounds of dry matter per day. Johnson recommends hay growers have their hay quality analyzed. “Producers need to get real numbers,” Johnson said. “They may find out it’s of inferior quality, but they also might find out it is still in a very acceptable range. Having hay analyzed puts farmers

in a position to use best management practices and provides buyers with analytical data in addition to visual information.” A Purdue Extension beef livestock expert said that livestock owners should be proactive and know the nutritional content of hay they make and buy. “The hay producers are making or buying in the next few months is going to be the winter feed supply,” said beef Ron specialist Lemenager. “If that hay doesn’t meet

the cow’s nutritional needs, farmers will have to buy supplements.” Lemenager said that supplement prices historically are lower in the summer, so livestock producers should consider forward contracting for energy-rich supplements like corn gluten, soybean hulls and distillers’ grains. “ P ro d u c e r s should calculate which supplements are the most cost effective per unit of energy or protein,” Lemenager said. “The hay quality

has decreased with each day’s delay in harvest, so now we have to make the best of a bad situation.” Johnson and Lemenager agree that forage growers should take advantage of warm, dry weather if they have the labor available. When farmers make hay, effective harvest management practices that get the cut crop off the field without rain damage can reduce the possible transmission of a disease to regrowth. Johnson urged farmers to reduce

field traffic by mak-

ing a few key lanes

for driving, espe-

cially if the soil is

still wet. Excessive

driving through the field

can

cause

soil

com-

paction and damage
