Local farmers face dilemma as corn planting deadline approaches.

Max Myers & Austin Carrothers

by Brent Swan With over 3.3 inches of additional rain falling from May 21, local farmers are again unable to get into their fields to finish, or begin, planting their 2011 corn crop. In addition to the frustration felt by many due to the inability to get their crops in the ground, farmers are currently facing the additional burden of determining their options as the June 5 crop insurance deadline approaches. For farmers who chose to carry some form of crop insurance before the March 15 deadline, June 5 now looms as the final day to make a decision regarding their 2011 corn forecast. According to George Patrick, a Purdue University Ag department professor specializing in risk management, about 70 percent of Indiana’s farmers insure their crops. corn in ground: 20 “Just as you have to place your bet before the roulette wheel beans in ground: 0 starts spinning, you have to place your bet and buy insurance before the spring weather happens,” Patrick said. For farmers, a variety of insurance options are available dependent on what type of coverage each farmer feels will benefit him the most. The most basic types of insurance are the Yield Production and Actual Production History. Based on at least four years of past farm yield data, these types of insurance pay growers for crop losses and cover 50 to 85 percent of the average yield. Total Acres: 1800 Another form of insurance, Revenue Planted Corn Acreage: 720 Protection, guarantees a certain value of the Percent of Corn in Ground: 45 commodity. “Rather than just talking bushels, it’s protecting what the crop is Percent of Beans in Ground: 0 worth as opposed to the physical quantity,” Patrick said. “If there was a really big crop and the price decreased from spring to harvest-time, it could trigger an indemnity, or payment.” In addition to crop insurance plans based on individual farm data, there are plans based on Percent of corn in the county’s yield and revground: 66 enue data. County or group insurance can be advantageous for individual farmers who (see page 7)

Pankop recounts combat experience at Battle of the Bulge by Danielle Smith Gerald Pankop, 85, is one of the lucky men that returned home after spending time in combat at the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium during World War II. After being injured by a mortar, he was honored with the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his bravery and sacrifice. Pankop voluntarily enlisted at 18 years old in 1944. “They rushed me through training and sent me over to the Battle of the Bulge,” Pankop said. “They needed men because they were losing so many.” Pankop entered the First Army, 99th Division, 393rd Infantry, as a buck private and came out as a private first class. He explained that part of the reason he

GERALD PANKOP is indicated by the arrow in the above photo. He is standing in line to receive one of only three hot meals that he received during his combat time in Belgium. Pankop served 30 days in combat before being sent due to an injury. (photo provided) moved through the ranks so quickly is because they were losing soldiers at such an alarming rate. “There are 200 men in a regimen, we lost about half of our men,” he said. Pankop credits his survival to his short stature. He was offered an opportunity to make sergeant, but that would have required him to move to the front of the platoon. Surprisingly, the officer allowed him to decline the offer, which earned him the right to stay in his safer position in the back. “I was short so I was always in the back, sergeants are up front in danger,” he explained. Short men were placed in the rear of the platoon because they tend to walk more slowly. “That’s probably what saved my life is being in the back all the time.” During his time in Belgium, Pankop only received three hot meals, two of which were boxed meals. The third was on Christmas Eve. An officer sent Pankop and other men to a church where they were served a full Christmas dinner, complete with steak and mashed potatoes. Following the meal, Pankop complimented the cook.

“I said ‘That’s the best meal I’ve had for I don’t know how long’, and the cook said ‘Oh, you like horse meat, huh?,” Pankop recounted. A disbelieving Pankop looked behind the church where he was greeted with the sight of the heads, skin and bones of the horses they had just consumed. Pankop also recalled seeing a steam-powered truck traveling up a hill in Belgium. The truck had wooden wheels and a boiler in the back to contain the fire that powered it. Pankop and his companions watched as the driver exited the truck and threw more wood on the fire to allow the truck to continue up the hill. “I said ‘Man, we don’t have anything like that back home,” he recalled. During Pankop’s time in Belgium, they slept in snowdrifts and never had an opportunity to change their clothes. He was there in December during intense combat. He recalled an instance where he and some comrades were standing nearby while some officers searched a recentlycaptured German bunker in the ground. “There were seven or eight of us standing outside leaning on

our rifles and the Germans threw a big mortar shell in there and it knocked all of us on the ground. I had two phosphorous grenades and it knocked the bottom off of one of them. Phosphorous burns you something terrible, you can’t hardly stop it. I was laying there and I hurt so bad I couldn’t even throw it away and I kept hollering for someone to come get it. Finally one guy did come over and grab it and throw it as hard as he could,” he recounted. “After things quieted down a little bit the medics came up and they only took two us and left the rest of them lay.” After 30 days in combat, Pankop returned home. “There’s a HenriChapelle Cemetery in Belgium that has 9,000 of our troops that got a Purple Heart but didn’t get to come home. I don’t know why but I think of that so often. I guess I just got a little blessing along the way and I got to come home and get married and raise four children,” he said. Much of Pankop’s war memorabilia is on display in the Northfield Jr./Sr. HIgh School’s library. In honor of all veterans, his yard is

Steller survived Dengue fever during World War II by Danielle Smith Verl Steller, a 1942 graduate of Chester High School, served in World War II in the notoriously intense at fighting Guadalcanal. He was part of the 199th AntiAircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion. He arrived at New Caledonia on Sept. 2, where they 1943, remained for two weeks before traveling to Guadalcanal. He reached Guadalcanal on Sept. 21, 1943. He remained there for four months, this marked Steller’s first encounter with the war firsthand. “The night we got there, the [Japanese] were bombing and I dug a trench to get down,” Steller recalls. “I took some banana leaves to put down in there and when we got in at about 10 p.m. that night, there was water a couple feet high.” Steller was a mess sergeant and he and his comrades frequently had to wear gas masks in the mess hall as the Japanese enemies were using gas as a weapon. Steller and his comrades enlisted the help of some troops that had taken over the Fiji Islands; they referred to them as the “Fiji boys”. Steller recalls that these troops were good singers. The Fiji boys assisted Steller and his crew by eliminating their Japanese enemies. Steller and his comrades then left Guadalcanal and traveled to Bougainville, an island of the Solomon Islands. They arrived on Jan. 15, 1944. He recalls the landscape as being jungle-like. While at Bougainville, Steller purchased from a local a heart-shaped pendant crafted from downed B-24 bomber windshields. He still has the pendant. After his time at Bougainville, Steller traveled to Leyte Island, in the Philippines. They arrived March 11, 1945. En route to the

island, they encountered a storm. “We had to get into the compartments of the ship, but we lost two trucks,” he recounted. While Steller was in Leyte, he requested and received a threeday pass from his captain. “I went around to the different planes at the airport and asked if anyone was going to Manila. One of the guys said they were going up to Clark Air Force Base in the morning so they said I could hitch a ride with them,” Steller said. He went to Manila to visit with his brother during his pass. “Two of my relatives from Servia were in the outfit and three other people from the area were there. We were all able to meet up.”

While on Leyte, Steller contracted a potentially fatal illness called Dengue fever. “I was in the kitchen getting a drink,” he recalls. “When I sat down to get a drink from the milk can, which had the fresh water in it, I woke up in the hospital.” Many years later, Steller encountered another veteran who had served on Leyte. When he told the man that he had suffered from Dengue fever the man was shocked. “He looked at me and said ‘You’re still alive?’ He said six of their guys got the fever and all of them died,” Steller explained. He was still in Leyte when the Japanese surrendered, ending the war.

“We all started celebrating. Our captain came out and called us all in and said he’d court martial anyone who was out celebrating and shooting their guns. He was a sourpuss,” he said. On Christmas Day 1945, Steller was on his way home. “I was at the mess hall and we cooked a meal for the front of the boat on that day and the next day I had to cook for the back of the boat, so I had two Christmases in 1945. We were on our way home so that was a good year,” he recalls. Steller was one of the lucky veterans that were invited on the Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials. “The memorial was beautiful. They said to leave your pocketbooks at home. They treated us like royalty,” Steller concluded.

A u s t r i a , Czechoslovakia and Luxembourg resulting in fighting in the Battle of the Bulge under Gen. Patton’s command. The historic battle began Dec. 21, 1944, and concluded Feb. 7, 1945. It was a fierce and deadly battle but the allies were triumphant in the turning point in the war in Europe. While the Battalion was in France, Lutz found a stray German Shepherd pup and adopted him. The fellows in the infantry named him AWOL,

and he remained with Lutz until the conclusion of the war. It was a sad day for the battalion when he followed the men onto the train they had boarded for a celebration parade General honoring Patton without their knowledge and became separated from them. Their Major gave Lutz and another fellow a jeep with the instructions not to come back until they found him. The search proved in vain and all were heartbroken to lose their faithful mascot.

Local farmers face dilemma... Continued from front page don’t have records or cannot prove past yields. The group data is based on trends, so as yields go up because of technology and plant breeding advancements, so does the guaranteed coverage. “The downside is when you are the only farmer to experience low yields,” said Patrick. “You might not be compensated if everybody else did well.” The county coverage does not cover prevented planting or replanting. On individual plans, growers unable to plant corn before June 5, or soybeans by June 20, may be eligible for compensation. Patrick said this is at an adjusted rate because of costs the farmer does not incur, such as seed and harvest costs. Replanting coverage is an option for farmers with more than 20 acres or 20 percent of the crop destroyed from flooding. According to Patrick, this year’s heavy rains might cause many farmers to use replanting insurance. “Many times, people wonder whether crop insurance is worth it,” Patrick said. “It costs, because they are carrying the risk you’re not carrying. But usually, you are better off to do something rather than nothing.” Several local farmers agreed with Patrick as they opted to carry some form of insurance offering, and now have at least a little peace of mind. “We’re way behind schedule,” said local farmer Mike Reed. “We’ve only got about 20 percent of our corn out and not any of our beans yet. We carry insurance, so that’s what has been allowing me to sleep at night. Thinking back, in the 23 years I’ve been doing this, I can’t remember a year quite like this.” Gary Kratzer, one of the few lucky farmers able to say they are only moderately behind schedule this year, attributed his progress to an investment made earlier in

the year. “One of the few reasons I’ve been able to get anything out is that I made the switch to a vertical tillage system, which meant I didn’t have to work the ground as deep if I was cultivating traditionally,” Kratzer said. “We also had a couple days that were nicer than some of the area parts of the county, so we’ve been blessed we’re only this far behind.” Max Meyer and Austin Carrothers, both of Ponderosa Farms, Wabash, said they too are one of the many farms left with no fieldwork to do until the ground begins to dry. “We’re not losing any sleep over being behind, but a lot of guys are,” Meyer said. “The hog farmers actually have it worse because they don’t have any place to empty their pits, and they have to do that before they can plant. Here it Memorial Day weekend, and we’re sitting here in hooded sweatshirts, I don’t remember that before, but you just never know with farming. And it could be that we have a really good growing summer, so the harvest won’t be as worrisome. I guess we really won’t know until December.” Another local farmer, Jack Vrooman, said of his 720 acres of planned corn, only 320 have been able to be planted. “My son, Nathan, and I were talking and trying to decide what all we were going to do yet. We kind of said that we needed to get the corn in anywhere from June 5 to June 10 at the latest, but we’ve planted corn as late as June 15 before. You don’t want to be in that position, but it all depends on the weather.”

Vrooman, along with many other local farmers, is currently weighing the pros and cons of switching their planned acreage of corn to soybeans and the possibility of switching to a corn seed with a shorter maturity time. Local seed companies have been getting ready throughout the spring anticipating what planting intentions farmers may have. Troy and Todd McKillip, partners at McKillip Seeds, said the old adage of a June 10-15 deadline for corn generally holds true. “We’ve been recommending to our customers June 10th through the 15th generally holds true for a normal year,” Troy said. “One of the advantages to our AgVenture affiliation is the nationwide network we have available to us. We’ve been able to get in two truckloads of 98-101 day seed.” With the early maturing corn, vendors such as McKillip Seeds are asked what the farmer stands to lose by switching to the alternate variety. “The 98-day corn we have won the 98-105 day field trials,” Troy explained. “We’re confident that farmers can plant that and still get 150 bushels per acre.” According to Jim Engelberth, general manager of Brodbeck Seeds, Wabash, the need might not be there to scramble and put out the shorter maturing corn just yet. “Our agronomists have been adamant that farmers can stay with corn until June 10 to June 15,” Engelberth said. “Corn is based in GDU (growing degree units) so with the right growing condi-

tions through the summer you can still get a good, solid yield.” Engelberth stated Brodbeck’s continues to see 110-day corn as a viable option prior to June 10, and foresees more of the 105day variety after June 10. “It’s always up to the farmer as to what they want to put out,” Engelberth explained, “but we don’t think the need is there to make the switch to soybeans yet.” Brodbeck’s district sales manager, Troy Baer, agreed with Engelberth. “Another point to consider is the corn price dynamics,” Baer said. “We believe with the shortage of corn and the from the reports fields that the prices could be bullish when harvest time comes.” One thing both seed companies agree on, is that it isn’t necessarily time to switch the planned crop to soybeans – yet. “It’s all dependent upon what the farmers are comfortable with and what insurance they may have,” Engelberth explained. “Whatever they end up choosing, we’ll be ready,” Todd McKillip said. “We’ve got the bean cleaner going, and we’ll have plenty of seed if that’s what they want to do.” As of the closing bell May 26, in grains for July delivery, corn rose 3.25 cents to settle at $7.455 a bushel, wheat gained 18 cents to $8.145 a bushel and soybeans rose 7.75 cents to $13.8475 a bushel amid concerns the weather will hurt this year’s harvest. Farmers also need to be aware of other important and upcoming deadlines. According to Eric Armentrout, Wabash County Farm Service Agency CED, the final (continued on page 8)

Harner manufactured parts during the Korean War by Danielle Smith Lowell Harner, 82, Wabash, served in the Korean War from 1950-1952. He entered the service as a private, but on his first day he was promoted to corporal when his sergeant discovered he had manufacturing skills. Harner crafted parts for all types of machinery used during the war. An interesting point about Harner’s time in the service is that he encountered a familiar face on the faraway continent — twice. Wilbur Eakright, who died in February 2011, lived one and a half blocks from Harner in Wabash. The two saw each other twice while stationed in Korea. Eakright went on to be honored with

two Purple Hearts. Harner feels lucky that he was able to work in manufactur-

ing as that saved him from having to experience the more dangerous areas of the war.

New seed corn technology comes with risks, entomologist says Bags of corn seed that mix genetically modified hybrids with and without Bt toxins that kill insects provide farmers easier compliance with federal regulations but could, over time, hasten insect resistance to Bt, a Purdue University entomologist said. Although “refugein-a-bag” seed technology has been approved for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, questions still remain over its long-term effect on corn rootworms, the main pest targeted by the technology, said Christian Krupke. “Is a guarantee of 100 percent grower compliance with

refuge regulations for corn rootworms worth a bit of a risk in terms of resistance development?” he said. “For many the answer is yes, because compliance has been declining in recent years.” Refug e-in-a-ba g products contain 90 percent Bt corn seed with 10 percent nonBt “refuge” seed. Under EPA rules, farmers who plant Bt corn also must plant next to or around that corn non-Bt hybrids equaling 20 percent of the Bt acreage. With refuge-in-a-bag, farmers plant all the seed together. Refuge corn is interspersed in the field with Bt corn. The new seed technology covers only below-ground feeding

rootworms at this time, however. Farmers growing Bt corn still need to plant a separate 20 percent refuge for corn borers, but that will change next year with a new product offering refuge-in-abag for all corn pests. Biologically speaking, refuge corn works in concert with Bt corn, which is genetically modified to express insecticide proteins from the Bacillus thuringiensis bacterium, to maintain the durability of the genetic traits in controlling many corn-feeding insects. “In the absence of corn, any refuge insects that survive exposure to Bt corn would mate with one another and pass

along the genetic traits that helped them survive,” Krupke said. “Refuge corn dilutes these genes with susceptible ones from beetles that fed on non-Bt corn and, therefore, should be susceptible.” Refug e-in-a-ba g does not completely remove the risk of Btimmune insect populations, Krupke said. “The concern with refuge-in-a-bag, or seed mixes, has always been sublethal exposure with toxic plants and nontoxic plants standing side-by-side,” he said. “You could have a young corn rootworm beetle larva emerge, feed on a toxic plant but not die, and then move over to a non-

toxic plant and feed until reaching adulthood. The larva now has sub-lethal exposure to Bt. That’s one of the ways that resistance can develop in an insect population more rapidly. “It’s that old adage that whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. We could be giving those larvae selective advantage in the long term. That was one of the reasons this technology wasn’t embraced initially.” Sub-lethal exposure works the other way, as well, Krupke said. Larvae could feed on a refuge corn plant and become larger, then move to a Bt plant to continue eating. Because the larvae are larger and it takes

more Bt toxin to kill bigger insects, larvae might not ingest enough toxin to die, he said. On the other side of the issue, refuge-in-abag offers advantages to the traditional planting Bt/refuge system, Krupke said. “Compliance is unquestionably the main advantage,” he said. “There’s no doubt about it. This way a grower can dump the seed into the planter and go. There’s no changing out seed or calculating refuge acres. “One of the other advantages with having Bt and refuge plants mixed together in a field is that you get the rootworm beetles closer together, which facilitates mat-

ings between beetles that might be Btresistant and those that are susceptible from the refuge.” By doing some of the matchmaking work for resistant and non-resistant insects, the ratio of Bt to nonBt seed in refuge-in-abag products can be reduced to 9-to-1, Krupke said. Refuge-in-a-bag is available on a limited basis this crop season, more seed with brands expected to add the technology in coming years. About 65 percent of the corn grown in the United States is Bt hybrids.

The family of

Michael Douglas

would like to thank everyone who has sent a card with words of encouragement or telling me just how Mike had touched their hearts with his desire to work for the Lord, sent flowers, or gave money to help with funeral expenses. To those who gave a hug or lent a shoulder to cry on, those who brought food or just were there to listen or maybe just said a prayer for us that day. We were so blessed to see almost 800 people coming out to share in the Celebration of his life. Just to see how many lives he touched blessed our hearts. His joy for the Lord was contagious. If you were down in the dumps that day and he came around you just couldn’t stay there! He was quick to speak a “word in Season” to encourage you if you were having a tough time. He had a gift to speak a refreshing Word from the scripture to those who were hurting, or down in spirit, discouraged or in need. So many lives he touched with the Love of Christ. His genuine personality was one of a kind. It was a privilege and Blessing to have been his wife for 38 years. He will be greatly missed by all our Friends, our Children, our Son-in-Laws, our (7) Grandchildren and especially me. We will miss his contagious laugh and smile, his strong hands and his Awesome Booming Tenor voice! I know he closed his eyes for the last time on May 4th and woke up in heaven to hear the Lord say, “Well done, thy good and Faithful Servant.” As he used to say, “Now That’s What I’m Talking About!” Someday we will see him again. What a Great Reunion that will be! He truly is now “Singing with the Saints!”

Love and miss you honey, See You Soon!!

Frances Slocum DAR loses longtime member Frances Kipp The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the A m e r i c a n Revolution (DAR) was held on May 10 in the Blocher Room of the North

Manchester Public Library. Eight members and one guest were present. Chapter members were saddened to hear of the death of their oldest chapter member, Frances

~ QUALITY FABRICS ~ Specializing in cottons for quilting 1604 S. Wabash St. â&#x20AC;˘ Wabash 260-563-3505 www.colorsgonewild.com

Kipp. Frances had been a member of the DAR for 68 years and had served as chapter chaplain for many years. She was the widow of a retired minister and always gave the most devoappropriate tions. She was loved by all and will be greatly missed by each member. Margaret Fritzel, Warsaw, gave the program. She dressed as a pioneer woman and gave an oral history of a Pacific Northwest girl who trudged to the Oregon territory in the mid 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Her presentation was based on the novel Conversations With Pioneer Women by Fred Lockley. The story began with her father telling his wife and children that they would have to move because

another man defaulted on a note her father had cosigned. They traveled by covered wagon from Liberty, Mo., to Oregon. Each child was allowed to take one treasure. She chose a corn husk doll, her mother chose a mirror and her grandma sent the family Bible with her mother so she could continue to keep the family records. Her father gave her a diary so she could record the journey. She used several words to describe the journey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; terror, sadness, uncomfortable, treasurers, endless, hope, rest and danger and the story line was based on each of those words. When they arrived in Oregon, her father had 25 cents in his pocket. He bartered

for everything from food to housing. Mrs. Fritzel made everyone feel as though they were with her on the journey. She has an extraordinary gift for storytelling. She also gives two other pioneer programs and will return in the fall to give another presentation. The National Defender report, written by Kelly Reese, was read by Regent Jean Wright. Ms. Reese said that when she was younger, she always thought Memorial Day was about the candy. (You know how people in the parades throw lots of candy?) Now, she knows why we Memorial have Day. It started right after the Civil War. Soldiers were coming home, but

not all. Most had died in the terrible war. Henry C. Wells, who lived in thought Waterloo, that someone should honor those who died for us. He made a holiday, Decoration Day. With some help, Henry Wells decorated the graves of soldiers who died in the war. Decoration Day eventually became M e m o r i a l Day. Everyone is urged to remember the soldiers who died in the war and those who are still living. Those people who helped make our country free, happy, beautiful America. Memorial Day is very important because it helps people think about others and remember the men and women who fought in the Civil War, Revolutionary War,

WWI, WWII and all the other horrid, sad battles. She asked that even if we spend the day collecting and eating candy, we remember the people who died to make country the our pleasant, happy, cheerful place that it is. Memorial Day is definitely more than candy. Members were urged to attend the Memorial Day program at 11:30 a.m. on May 30 at the I.O.O.F. in cemetery LaFontaine. Everyon e is welcome. The last meeting until September will be held on June 14 at 5 p.m. in the Grandstaff-Hentgen Community Room, Wabash. Please bring a covered dish and ideas for upcoming programs for the fall.

Frank urges: Stand for freedom Dear editor, A brief study of early America â&#x20AC;&#x201C; early 1600s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reveals mankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest for freedom and to publically worship his Creator. This beginning was painful. The people were determined, passionate and courageous for posterityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake and a providential calling. A couple hundred years later the Constitution of the United States of

America had been written and signed by descendants of prior seekers of freedom. Many have fought and died to establish our Constitution and to plant the roots of freedom deep within our culture. Where there is freedom there is shedding of blood. Our military men and women continue to die for our freedom. Courage and sacrifice were needed to

establish liberty. Courage and sacrifice are needed now to maintain freedom and liberty. Our freedom is being diluted. Like a slithering thief returning daily, content to steal a noticeable but acceptable amount. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care you probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know you probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fueled by apathy and cow-

ardice. The early American Church was a major force providing the Christian principles and moral fiber that united us and made us a strong and great nation. By ignorance and apathy we use spineless excuses like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate politicsâ&#x20AC;?, as we allow godless people to take God, prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance out of our schools! Come on all you

patriots! Come, stand with us! C3, Citizens Committed to the Constitution, is sponsoring Pastors Appreciation Day. We are honoring the spiritual leaders of Wabash County. Show your appreciation to these leaders and your patriotism by attending our next meeting on June 6, 7 p.m., at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ. Rod Frank

sections. The blue field is removed completely from the red and white stripes. It is always burned first. Then the remaining sections are burned one at a time. Troop #429 has presented the retiring of

Myers thanks community for recent participation Dear editor, I am proud of where I live (obviously, or I wouldn’t have the awesome job that I have). I am proud of the citizens, the places, the businesses, the government, the schools, the clubs, the nonprofits, etc. With that said, my pride reached a level I did not know existed on two recent occasions. The reunion weekend of the USS Wabash shipmates and the Strategic Planning session at the Charley Creek Inn. On both of these instances the county stepped up, and in completely different ways. One public; one less so. One palpable throughout the county; one palpable in a conference room. One four days; one four hours. But in each occasion the county showed its true colors, its potential, and its lineage of success, and for that I am extremely moved. To everyone involved in the USS Wabash Reunion, I am touched beyond words. Whether you stopped one of the veterans on the street to say “welcome” or you hung American flag bunting on the outside of your building, you made these men and their spouses feel welcome, loved and a genuine

part of our outstanding community. So much so that for the first time in their existence, the USS Wabash passed an ordinance to return to Wabash every six years, or every third reunion! To the businesses and community leaders who participated in the second phase of the Listening Project, the Strategic Planning Session, I applaud you. Your Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau (WCCVB) left that

afternoon with enough notes to cover the walls of our office, and those ideas will create a strategic plan that will position your WCCVB to contribute to the economic development of Wabash County for years to come. We came away with forward-thinking, bigpicture ideas and suggestions, and our strategic plan for our great county will be a testament of the amazing community leaders we are so fortunate to have in our

presence. These people put our county first in everything they do and that, dear readers, is invigorating. To all Wabash County citizens, for all that you are, and for all that you do, I thank you. Not only do you make this a fantastic community in which to live, but you also make this a community of which we can ALL be proud. Whitney Myers, Executive Director, WCCVB

Sports Shorts First annual “Shoot for a Cause” to be held June 4

THE FIRST ANNUAL SHOOT FOR A CAUSE will be held June 4 at Bass and Bucks, 4890 W. Mill Creek Pike, Wabash. The day will include a wide range of activities for children as well as adults. Tabitha Butcher and Anthony Hadaway are pictured with items that will be available at the silent auction. More information about the event can be found at www.bassandbucks.com. (photo by Danielle Smith)

by Danielle Smith On June 4, TNA Adventures and Bass and Bucks will host the first annual “Shoot for a Cause” archery event to help raise cancer awareness in the hunting industry. Shoot for a Cause encompasses a whole day of fun for the entire family beginning at 8 a.m. with a silent auction of some unique items, including: 70-year-old mushroom art by Kevin Hoyt, a hunt-themed lamp by Paul Davis and rare Pink Rage Broadheads. Registration for the 40-target Rinehart 3D archery course also begins at 8 a.m. A $5 portion of each registration fee will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., kids can enjoy games, arts and crafts and a moonwalk courtesy of Manchester Party and Tool Rental. “I’m pretty excited about that because a

lot of our events don’t focus on the kids,” said Tabitha Butcher. “The guys come out and bring the kids and they sometimes get bored so they are going to have their own little section where there will be adult supervision so they just come in and play and have fun.” Starting at 1 p.m. will be the groundbreaking of Camp Kokiwanee’s Star Lodge. At 3 p.m., Devon Harris, the 2011 Grand American Challenge Champion winner, will give a trap demonstration. At 3:30 p.m., the gun festivities will begin. Canon wars start at 6 p.m., attendees are welcome to enter this event right up until the time it begins. The day will close with a bonfire and fireworks. Various vendors, local as well as nonlocal, will have booths set up. These vendors will include Deer Space, Instinct Archery, Red Cross,

Sherm’s Marina, Tippman Outfitters and much more. Manchester Tool & Die will be present as they donated a threefoot tall, steel, pink ribbon to be used in a novelty shoot. The winner of that shoot will receive a Mathews Z7. Hunt of a Lifetime, an organization that provides unique hunting opportunities for children with disabilities or illnesses, will also be present. Local businesses are still welcome to set up a booth; there is no charge. Contact Tabitha at 260-5691853 for more information. Poole’s Meat Market will offer hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, baked beans, chips and beverages. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase Red Barn Elephant Ears and Joy Christian Bookstore’s ice cream. This event has been in the planning

stages for more than a year. “We were working with the Pink Arrow Project and that’s what gave us the idea of cancer shoots and raising money. I started thinking ‘Let’s use our facility, we have the gun range, we have the archery range, let’s bring people together to raise money for the National Breast C a n c e r Foundation,’” Tabitha said. This event is being run under Wabash Conservation Club, a nonprofit corporation. It will be held rain or shine. Bass and Bucks would like to thank their local sponsors: Troy Eads Excavating, Pear Excavations & Fencing, Manchester Tool & Die, Pettit Printing, Miller Furniture, Tyler and Courtney Tobias, Builders Mart and B r a i n a r d Excavating.

Canal Street. This historic downtown building, formerly known as Toepfer Optometry, has undergone a complete transformation. Lemak LLC, a locally owned and operated supplier of lubricants, fuel and chemicals, purchased the build-

second floor executive studio. The final component of the renovation project, the exterior of the building, should be completed by early summer. Lemak LLC was able to take advantage of two programs offered by WMI, the façade grant program and the revolving loan program. The façade grant program, which is no longer available, offered building owners matching grant funds for use in restoring the exterior of their buildings. The restoration and remodeling of 41 W.

The Honeywell House in Wabash will host three events in June: The Golden Age of the Circus, with Doug Konkle; Landscape your Property with Praire Grasses, presented by Rebecca Latta; and a piano performance, by Northfield graduate Aaron Smith. Doug Konkle presents the Golden Age of the Circus on June 8 at 7 p.m. Konkle carved and built model circus memorabilia for over 25 years, during which he compiled a large collection of books, lithographs, rout cards and programs of various circuses. His discussion will focus on Barnum & Bailey’s August 1895 performance in Wabash. Samples of Konkle’s memorabilia will also

be displayed. On June 11, at 9:30 a.m., Rebecca Latta, a master gardener from Macy, will present a program on choosing prairie grasses, wildflowers and plants for various landscapes. She will also present information on creating natural and ornamental landscapes and ideas for creating butterfly and hummingbird habitats. Also included in this program is a discussion on efforts to educate Indiana residents about the environment and the beautification of the landscape. Latta will have a selection of plants available for sale during the event and will be happy to discuss the best use for them. Pianist Aaron Smith will present a piano recital perform-

ance on June 14 at 7 p.m. His program will include music by Mozart, Chopin, Copland, Ravel, Hammerstein, and Nielsen, as well as his own original compositions. Also appearing on the program is his brother Adam Smith, baritone, and Norma Trump, piano accompaniment. A 2011 graduate of Northfield High School, Aaron began piano lessons at age eight and has studied piano with Norma Trump the past six years. In addition to piano, Aaron plays violin, viola, and guitar and is a member of the Indiana University String Violin Academy Virtuosi. He has a scholarship to attend the Indiana University Jacobs

School of Music as a double viola performance and music composition major next fall. These Honeywell House performances are free to the public, but due to limited seating those wishing to attend are asked to make reservations by calling 260-563-2326 ext. 2 or by going online to www.honeywellhouse.org.

Wabash Art Guild North Manchester Historical announces watercolor Society presents “The Oregon Trail” negative painting workshop An important part of American history will come to life on June 13, at 6:40 p.m., in the Assembly Room of Timbercrest Senior Living Community. Mr. Randy Polston, who is a strong believer in being a life-long learner, wanted to bring the Oregon Trail to the children and adults in Warsaw. Polston was selected to take the trip sponsored by

the Lilly Endowment Fund – he was to follow the Oregon Trail. He said they used the book “Traveling the Oregon Trail” and followed it to a “T”. He and his wife drove 3 to 5 hours a day. By the time they got home, they had traveled 6,700 miles. Along the way they saw everything from wagon ruts and grave markers to autographs that pioneers had left behind.

This program will be interesting to children and youth as well as adults. His story will come to life on the large Timbercrest screen. Polston teaches a class at Grace College on professionalism in education. His full time job is principal at H a r r i s o n Elementary School, where he has worked for the past 20 years.

Before the June 13 program, a meal will be served at 6 p.m. in the assembly room. For meal reservations, call on June 10 by noon. A meal fee includes a complete meal with beverage, salad, and dessert. For reservations, call Karl at 982-2216 or Evelyn at 982-6777. The program begins at 6:40 p.m. and is free to the public. All are welcome.

Karing for Karsyn Kampaign aims to raise funds for Karsyn Bratch by Danielle Smith The Karing for Karsyn Kampaign is nearing the big day, June 11, when the fundraiser will come to a close. It began as a handful of caring friends cooking meals for the Burchett family as Karsyn, a Sharp Creek second-grader, underwent a myriad of medical treatments to treat her rare cancer. Gradually, the idea for a fundraiser developed and took on a life

of its own. Between now and June 11, there are numerous special events taking place around Wabash for the benefit of the Karing for Karsyn Kampaign. Pefley Farm Equipment, Lagro is accepting donations of farm or garden-related items such as lawnmowers and old tools, for an auction row on June 2 at their bimonthly farm auction.

Shop, Manchester Avenue, is selling the Karsyn Sundae, made from cookie dough ice cream, Reese’s pieces, chocolate, whipped cream and a cherry on top. A dollar from each Sunday will go to the Karing for Karsyn Kampaign. June 11 will complete the Karing for Karsyn Kampaign with a tenderloin dinner, a silent auction and entertainment. Many businesses have pitched in to make the day a success. Dr. Greg Garner, Midwest Eye Consultants, Cass Street, is allowing use of his parking lot for the festivities; Milliner Printing created 2,000 tickets and fliers; and many local people began selling tickets and donating silent auction items. Other businesses donated paper items, beverages and the use of their electronic signs for advertising. Poole Foods helped with condiments and chips, and Visionary Web helped with storage. Karsyn’s peers have offered some of the most extensive help thus far. LaFontaine Elementary students brought in over 2,000 snack cakes for the dinner. “The biggest single help to the fundraiser has been the Penny

(photo by Danielle Smith) Pitch Wars at Sharp Creek Elementary,” said Becki Wagoner. “Those kids raised a total of $5,152 and change. Southwood Elementary helped with that grand total also.” Mrs. McCaslin’s class was the winner of the Penny Pitch Wars, donating $1,555.91. Their penpals in Mrs. Denney’s class at Southwood Elementary delivered $900. Ron Garlits has lined up several local bands and entertainers for June 11. Some of the performers include: JZ Sutton, the Driscolls, Mike McGriff, Bobby V (Valesquez) and

Friends, Elijah Blue and God’s County. True Value has donated a moonwalk for children’s entertainment. Diane Guenin is chairing the kid games area of the fundraiser. Games and prizes are available for any size of donation. Rhonda Dale and friends will chair the silent auction. Various businesses and individuals have donated items for the silent auction including: Lauren Graf of Get Nailed, Nicole Howard Photography, the “Y”, Myers and Son Jewelers, Museum of Wabash County, Charley Creek Inn, Portraits by Kimberly, Friermood

Tire and Alignment, Cara McCollister of Vanity Tan, Northfield Key Club and two ladies from Oregon who donated quilted infant blankets and jewelry. A 70/30 Raffle will be conducted throughout the day. Seventy percent of the proceeds will go to Karsyn, 30 percent to the winner. Wade Weaver, 105.9 “the Bash”, will announce the winners on a live remote. On June 18, a golf scramble to benefit Karsyn will be held at Etna Acres. Wagoner’s goal is to raise $20,000 for the Burchett family. She hopes to organize a

presentation of the Karing for Karsyn Kampaign Fund to the Burchett Family for the end of June. “At that time I know we will all be able to feel really good about living in the Wabash community and having such wonderful children, friends and neighbors in our own backyard,” Wagoner said. She went on to say that she appreciates all of the help she has received for the Kampaign. “It would be impossible to thank each and every person who has donated, sold tickets or said a silent prayer for our success,” she concluded.

Ivy Tech students prepare for flight aboard NASA’s “Weightless Wonder” Four Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region students will be one of only 14 undergraduate teams nationally that will venture to NASA Johnson Space Center‘s Ellington Field in Houston to conduct their experiments aboard the agency’s “ We i g h t l e s s Wonder” aircraft. Each year, the Gravity Reduced Education Flight Program (RGEFP) gives undergraduate students the opportunity to propose, build and fly a reduced gravity experiment. The teams will perform the experiments aboard a microgravity aircraft, which produces weightlessness 18 to 25 seconds at a time by executing a series of about 30 parabolas – a steep

climb followed by a free fall – over the Gulf of Mexico. During the free falls, the students will be able to gather data in the unique environment and experience near-weightlessness. Ivy Tech’s opportunity to participate is the result of the hard work and commitment of Design Technology Program Chair Dan Ward II, Levi J. Hepp, Phil Loveless, Scott Fritsch, and Lauren Hunter. The students were selected from more than 20 proposals based on scientific merit and educational outreach potential. They have put many hours into researching and building their experiment. They are also taking time to reach out to other students and the community to share their unique

experiences and discoveries. “We are excited that our program provides once-in-alifetime opportunities for aspiring scientists and engineers to study and understand their craft. The students gain useful skills by participating in the program through collaborative planning and teamwork,” said Doug Goforth, Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program Manager. The Ivy Tech student team will arrive at Ellington Field, where astronauts do their T-38 training, on June 16. They will then go through physiological training and fly their experiment during the week of June 21. This experiment will use an extrusion fab-

they have assembled coupled with their experience and invaluable training resources, offer us a professional environment that is so necessary in the care of our residents. We are looking forward to a long, fruitful affiliation with this company as they harvest the positive seeds that are being planted daily. Smiles are popping up all over.” In recent months, Peabody has added to their leadership team. “We as a team,” said Executive Director Jeff Jarecki, “have so much more we can now accomplish.

Tri Kappa holds 59th state convention The 59th State Convention of Tri Kappa was recently held at Indianapolis Marriott East. Council President Julie Reeder, Boonville, presided. Members of Gamma Iota Chapter were hostesses. Representing Wabash Chapter

were: Karen Walker, delegate, and Donna alternate. Beck, Others who attended were: Bev Vanderpool, president and State Scholarship Committee member. Several business sessions and educational workshops were held during the three-day meeting.

Three were informative and historical exhibits demonstrating Tri Kappa’s work throughout the state. The Fine Arts winners from Province Conventions were on display as well as our newest acquisition from the Hoosier Salon Annual Exhibit.

A major project of the Philanthropy Committee of Tri Kappa was an endowment to the Riley Memorial Fund for the benefit of Camp Riley. Cheer Guild and Ronald McDonald House were also recipients of financial gifts and Heather Dawes was one of the Philanthropy luncheon speakers. Over $33,000 was given to Riley Hospital. The Scholarship Committee reported

that local, province and state scholarships total almost $500,000 annually for Indiana students. The Mental Health Committee has formed a new alliance with Best Buddies of Indiana, featuring Katie Cortelyou, Best Buddies Advisory Board member, as a very special guest and presenter at the Saturday Philanthropy luncheon. The Fine Arts Committee has been

actively involved in the Hoosier Salon since it was organized in 1926. The Tri Kappa Art collection is on display at the newly renovated Logan Library at RoseHulman in Terre Haute. The Committee also presents art and music scholarships every spring. Donnae Dole, director of Hoosier Salon, graced the gathering with her interesting presentation during the

Richvalley United Methodist Women meets for mother/daughter tea Richvalley United Methodist Women met recently for the mother/daughter tea at the Richvalley C o m m u n i t y Building. The theme for the fun event was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pursuing Your Passionâ&#x20AC;?, hosted by Deanna Unger and Cindi Price assisted by Sylvia Sriver. Tables were decorated with colorful streamers on tablecloths and items showing what their passion is. A few examples were Bible, pictures of Jesus and families. The program was by Natalie Guenin Unger, who spoke about passions and running in the Chicago Marathon on Oct. 10, 2010. Running in the Chicago Marathon came about from having it as a longtime goal. She made some spiritual correlations to her marathon experiences â&#x20AC;&#x201C; goal time to complete race became three hours, 16 minutes, which reminded her of John 3:16. Another fact: total miles she put into training and running the race was 1,010 miles and she ran the race on Oct. 10, 2010. In honor of her two grandpas that passed away in 2010, she wore a shirt with Grandpa on the back. Their spirit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus the support of her husband, Sean; son, James; parents; and in-laws â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gave that extra push to finish the race when she was so fatigued. In conclusion, Natalie stressed that family support was most important in being able to realize goals and passions. Cindi Price read

scriptures about the parable of the talents and using our gifts to serve others. Deanna Unger read a history of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day followed by Patty Sausaman, Tammy Howard, Linda Smith and Courtney Smith reading poems. Patty wrote the poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Granddaughters and GreatGranddaughtersâ&#x20AC;?. Attendees were asked to write their passions on a slip of paper, then each one read what had been written as everyone enjoyed refreshments. Mrs. Unger led singing and closed with prayer. Attending were: Jean Snapp, Beverly Hostetler, Jane Long, Carolyn Maxwell,

A r i a n n a Loshnowsky, Patty Saussaman, Tammy Howard, Linda Smith, Courtney Smith, Cindi Price, Cher and Molly Moore, Phyllis Moore, Dorotha Horine, Kathy Wehrly, Michelle and Georgie Wehrly, Sherry and Angel Wehrly, Arline Kizer, Marilyn Crousore, Lynda Funkhouser, Marcia Weaver, Jennie and Ella Bradley, Jedy Kramer, Jenny Hill, Jean Wilson, Deanna Unger, Natalie Unger, Diane Guenin, Emily Guenin-Hodson, Lindsey Jones and Laney, Rosie Brinson, Stephanie Brinson and Angie and Abby Schuler.
