Sherry Yenna receives Indiana’s NewsCenter’s Golden Apple Award by Danielle Swan DSmith@thepaperofwabash.com

On March 8, Sherry Yenna, more familiarly known as Mrs. Yenna, was surprised to be presented with the Golden Apple Award by Reporter Jennifer Blomquist, I n d i a n a ’ s NewsCenter. The Golden Apple Award is presented to one Indiana teacher each month during school months. The award is now in its 12th year.

“It’s kind of unusual for something like this to go on for that long, but it’s been so popular,” said Blomquist. “Who doesn’t want to recognize a good teacher?” Teachers are nominated for the award by their students at I n d i a n a ’ s NewsCenter’s website. Yenna was nominated by her former student, Heather Amos, who is now the mother of one of Yenna’s current students, Logan Arnold. Amos praised Yenna for being thoughtful and taking the time to teach each student at

their own personal level. “As I sit on the other side of the table at a parent-teacher conference, she focuses on all the good in my child,” Amos said. “She is a wonderful teacher and she deserves the Golden Apple Award.” Yenna’s 32-year career with Metropolitan School District has taken her to three different elementary schools, Roann, Southwood and LaFontaine, and she has experience in Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade and fifth grade. The bulk of her career was spent teaching third grade at Southwood. “Teaching was a career that just seemed right for me,” Yenna said. “Helping children learn to love learning is important to me.” Yenna says her favorite part of being a teacher is watching her students get interested in a topic and learn about something new. “One of my classes

is corresponding with a Peace Corps volunteer in Belize, a former third grade student of mine, Matthew Myers,” Yenna said. “They are being exposed to a new culture and love interacting with children who live in thatched houses and hunt gibnuts! “Another class is

writing to a local soldier Zachary Powell stationed in South Korea. Both classes have penpals from England so they may make a life-long friendship.” Yenna also enjoys getting involved with students in summer classes, Battle of the Books and Spell Bowl. Outside the

Martin Enterprises of Fort Wayne presented the lowest quote on the work, so they are completing the demolition of the building. Weather permitting, the firm expects to have the building leveled by April 2. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham says it is still too soon to speculate on what will fill the vacant space once the demolition is complete. In the meantime, the intersection of Wabash and Canal streets is operating as a four-way stop, as the stoplight had to be removed. (photo by Danielle Swan)

Recipients of the Golden Apple Award are presented with a Golden Apple pendant, made specially for this award by Bradley Gough Diamonds. They also receive a free car detailing from V o r d e r m a n Volkswagon and a free teeth whitening, which has a value of

$600, from Afdent Dental. Indiana’s NewsCenter presents a sweatshirt, plaque and mug to each honoree. “I was humbled and honored to be nominated for the Golden Apple Award,” Yenna said. “Heather Amos and her son, Logan, have been a pleasure to know. I am grateful they would go to the trouble of nominating me. Teaching the child of a former student is a special blessing. It is wonderful to see how well she has

Bill Barrows Senior Program Director 260-563-9622 ext. 408

bbarrows@wabashcounty ymca.org

Relationships have strong positive influences by Bill Barrows, YMCA senior program director Life is built on relationships. It’s a simple statement that is worth thinking deeply about. Remember when you were a child and a friend moved away? It doesn’t matter if it was across town or across the country. It was a major event that, even for a short time, was devastating to you and maybe other members of your family. We thrive on relationships. People build relationships in a number of different ways. It could be through lifelong

friendships, it could be because of a bond of siblings. It may be because of a teammate in the sports arena or even a rival that you found there was similar appeal. At the Wabash County YMCA, we witness relationship building daily. Very close bonds between people happen every day through common behavior. Strong relationships are made between individuals from very different circumstances because of a common thread. People bond inside the YMCA doors simply because of a common interest in a fitness class, or maybe parents become friends because their kids both compete in youth basketball or soccer. A senior member bonds with a member of the YMCA frontline staff. A caring relationship because blossoms both have a common bond. One cares enough to care about the other individual that sparks something in the heart to want to become involved. It’s special! This week, we have seen the culmination of a relationship - a caring relationship that ends profession-

ally between the Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning. I am a lifelong Colts fan. I remember the agony of Super Bowl III. I also remember how my boyhood hero, Johnny Unitas was treated at the end of his career in Baltimore when team ownership (the current owner’s father) didn’t have the professionalism to meet the legendary quarterback face to face when the team decided to move on from the Unitas era. A phone call was all that Unitas got. We’re talking about a player in an era where the players worked and lived in the city that they played. They were brick masons, insurance salesmen, factory workers and mechanics by day and football players on the weekend. That is a far cry from what the life of a professional athlete is today. Those men paved the way for the stars of today. As we all know, 14 years after the “Midnight Mayflower Move” from Baltimore to Indianapolis and a large percentage of losing seasons, the Colts drafted Peyton Manning, a southern

boy with the kinds of values and humility that we would want our children to admire and emulate. Was this kind of personality too good to be true? Probably, but those of us who are even just casual sports fans understand the way that this one man has impacted everyone from his teammates to the trainers and office workers within the organization, let alone the coaches and even the owner, as witnessed by the classy departure press conference on March 7. But more than that, he changed the landscape of central Indiana both physically and emotionally. He built relationships with his fans. He has always done what comes natural to him. Because of his team and his leadership on the field, Indy hosted this year’s Super Bowl and showcased Lucas Oil Stadium as well as a spruced up Indianapolis. But more importantly, he reminded us by his actions of good old mid-western values. He started a foundation that supports programs that provide leadership and

Senate GOP lawmakers phasing out State’s inheritance tax State Sens. Jim Smith (RCharlestown) and Brandt Hershman (R-Buck Creek) recently championed a new policy initiative phasing-out Indiana’s inheritance tax. Both Senate and House chambers approved the final version of Senate Enrolled Act 293, which will now be sent to the governor. “While other states are raising taxes to account for lost revenue, Indiana is lowering a tax,” Smith said. “This is an investment in Indiana’s future. The tax weighs heavily on Hoosier entrepreneurs, employers, farmers, retirees and families, and our state’s positive fiscal position allows us to remove this burden. This is the first law I championed for Indiana, and I must say, I am honored to have played a role in doing away with this form of double taxation.”

“With this new law, we are making the state’s tax structure fairer for the hardworking farmers, entrepreneurs, employers and retirees in Indiana,” Hershman said. “Citizens pay taxes on their assets while living, and then upon their death, we tax those assets again. People work hard for their money and should not have pay this unjust tax.” In Indiana, an inheritance income tax is levied against heirs who receive inheritances, not including spouses and charitable organizations. Tax rates vary depending on the

beneficiary’s relationship with the decedent. For example, children are taxed at a lesser rate than a distant cousin, who would in turn be taxed at a lesser rate than a friend of the deceased. The enrolled act immediately raises the amount that is exempt from inheritance taxes from $100,000 to $250,000 for the closest beneficiaries then works to phase the tax out completely throughout the next nine years. Indiana Farm Bureau called on their members to support efforts to eliminate the inheri-

tance tax, noting its heavy impact on the state’s farming community. The Indiana Chamber of Commerce, Indiana Manufacturers Association and National Federation of Independent Business also back efforts to kill the ‘death tax.’

This man has changed the way that we look at athletes and celebrities in an age of reality TV and rude behavior. Why, because of the relationships that he has created over an adult life in Indiana. When an athlete of this magnitude leaves an organization during his career, it always has a negative spin. Not this time. Rick Reilly, a nationally known sportswriter wrote this in his column this week about Manning: “Lastly, thank you for the way you left. Always thought you’d go out a Colt, and go out the way you wanted, but if it had to end this way ‘I truly enjoyed

Dr. Rose Wenrich, a family practitioner for more than 25 years, recently completed a fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona in Tucson, one of the premier training programs for the specialty. Founded by Dr. Andrew Weil, the mission statement is “Educate yourself. Heal medicine. Transform the world.” Integrative medicine blends traditional western (allopathic) medicine with evidence-based treatments from other areas of healing including, but not limited to, chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, homeopathy, guided imagery and meditation. Integrative medicine focuses on the health of the whole person. Most of the training focuses on the importance of lifestyle in fostering good health. “I have been a Board Certified Family Practitioner since 1985,” Dr. Wenrich said. “Family medicine has always been about treating the whole person. This course has given me a few more ‘tools in my tool box’ to help people.” F o l l o w i n g Hippocrates philosophy to “Let your food be your medicine, and let your medicine be your food,” the integrative medicine course provided an intensive study in nutrition. It covered what Dr. Wenrich referred to as the good, the bad, and the ugly of our 21st century diet. “I enjoyed learning about supplements, herbs, and simple home remedies for minor illnesses. I feel I can guide my patients on what supplements might be helpful or harmful (especially to their wallets),” she explained. “I also learned some massage techniques that I have used in the office to help with migraines. Patients are pleased to get relief without a pill.”

The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) recently announced 23 schools and school corporations will receive up to $200,000 each to implement classroom technology projects. These grants are awarded through Indiana’s classroom innovation grant program, which is funded primarily through the David C. Ford educational technology fund. This fund was created in memory of Indiana Senator David C. Ford, who worked diligently to encourage classroom technology and innovation during his service to the Indiana General Assembly from 1994 to 2008. “More than ever, technology plays a central role in classroom learning and prepares students for a competitive, hightech workforce,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett said. “I am proud to recognize these schools committed to driving student success using technology.”

State Police offers tornado disaster volunteer and donation information Hoosiers are known for their generosity and willingness to help in time of need and the need is great for our fellow Hoosiers in the south and southeast portions of the state that have been devastated by this past Friday’s string of tornados. The Sellersburg State Police Post and other state police posts have received many calls from people asking how to donate time, resources of money to help those in need. There are numerous legitimate ways to

make cash donations, such as a number of media organizations that are holding telethons. While the Indiana State Police does not endorse or recommend any particular organization we are providing the below contact sources to help reduce the number of inquiries to state police posts asking about giving donations or how to volunteer. This will help keep our phone lines open for emergency calls. United Way: To make a cash dona-

tion or to volunteer as an individual or group, please call the United Way Volunteer Service at 812-287-0519 or visit them in person at 723 Spring Street, Jef fersonville, Indiana. You may also click this link: http://www.metroun itedway.org/comm/ Article.jsp?ArticleID =9 and click the appropriate tab to volunteer or donate cash. Red Cross: To make a cash donation or to volunteer with the American Red Cross, call 800-

733-2767 or visit the office at 510 East Chestnut Street DR384, Louisville, KY 40210.

spx?ST=INDIANA> The Indiana State Police and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security caution Hoosiers to know who they are donating money to before making a cash donation. While there could be legitimate sources making door-to-door collections, more often than not, money given to door-to-door collectors is often diverted to personal gain and does not go to the stated cause.

Governor releases statement regarding Peyton Manning

Governor Mitch Daniels released the following statement regarding Peyton Manning leaving the Indianapolis Colts: “Peyton is as great a citizen as he is a quarterback. He’s contributed in ways people can see, like his children’s hospital, but he has also done so many things that he insists no one know about.

Idaho Supreme Court affirms $3.3 million judgment in case with Wabash County ties In the spring of 2007, Jose Carrillo, his wife, Marisela, and their 18-monthold daughter, Nayeli, planned a road trip to Mexico to visit family. As part of their preparations, they had their sport utility vehicle looked over and serviced at Boise Tire Company, an auto service business in their hometown of Boise, Idaho. “The family took

their SUV to Boise Tire Company because they had received a coupon mailer advertising a tire check and rotation,” said Emily Guenin-Hodson, a local Wabash County lawyer and one of the attorneys for the Carrillo family. About six hours into their family trip, on a straight, flat stretch of highway in the deserts of Nevada,

the right rear tire on their Dodge Durango came off. The SUV spun out of control and rolled several times before coming to rest several yards from the highway. Marisela, who just moments before, had climbed into the back seat to attend to her 18-month-old, was ejected from the vehicle and shortly after died from her injuries. Jose suffered

severe head, back, shoulder and arm injuries; he is no longer able to work. Nayeli was not physically injured, but was emotionally scarred. She immediately experienced severe setbacks in her sleeping, talking, potty training and her overall personality. At the time the wheel broke off from the Carrillo vehicle, a church bus was trav-

eling back from a mission trip in Tijuana, Mexico. The adults with the youth group offered first aid, including CPR. The children in the youth group gave their newly purchased blankets from Mexico to comfort the injured family. Soon after the crash, Jose and Nayeli sued Boise Tire Company, alleging negligence and wrongful death due to the improper rotation of the tires. After two years of litigation, a Boise, Idaho, jury agreed that the tire company was not only negligent, but reckless. The law in the state of Idaho places a cap, or maximum amount, on the noneconomic damages a person can recover for actions of negligence. However, this cap does not apply when negligent actions rise to the level of willful or reckless misconduct. This cap does not exist in Indiana and it is a fundamental difference in the procedure followed by juries in the two states’ determination of damages. The jury awarded the Carrillos approximately $3.5 million. Jose was awarded more than $1 million; Nayeli was awarded more than $1 million; and the balance applied to the wrongful death claim of

Marisela. “That’s not much money when you go through what this family has gone through, when you lose your wife, and when you lose your mom at such a very young age. This was a terrible, avoidable tragedy,” said Mark Guenin, another of the Carrillo family attorneys. Shortly after the crash that occurred nearly five years ago on April 1, 2007, Attorneys Mark Guenin and Emily Guenin-Hodson of Wabash were contacted by Carrillo family relatives living in Wabash County. Attorneys Guenin and Guenin-Hodson and their office Guenin Law Office, P.C. - immediately became involved in the investigation of the crash and the legal representation of the Carrillo family. The crash investigation required multiple trips to Nevada and Idaho, as well as securing experts in Kentucky, Colorado, Idaho, California and Illinois. In addition to conducting the trial for four days in Boise, Idaho, Guenin and Guenin-Hodson returned to Idaho in September of 2011 to argue the case before the Idaho Supreme Court. Boise, Idaho attorney Guy Hallam of Kormanik, Hallam and Sneed assisted in

the trial of this case. So what happened that caused the right rear tire of the Carrillo family’s SUV to come off resulting in the death of a young child’s mother and the permanent disability of her father? Metallurgy and engineering experts who testified at trial for the Carrillo family said the wheel’s lug nuts were over-tightened, causing some of the bolts to break off at the shop and others to break off when the family was on the road. One expert testified at trial that the tire technician that serviced the Carrillo vehicle would have visibly seen the broken bolt in his torque wrench. “The judgment, which will be paid by Boise Tire’s insurance company, not only helps compensate this family, and in particular this little girl for the loss of her mother, it also demonstrates that a large company can still be held accountable for its negligence and recklessness,” said Attorney Guenin. “Boise Tire was wrong. It was wrong in its lack of training, its lack of supervision, and its general lack of caring for the safety of its paying customers. We are glad we had the opportunity to help this family.”

Wabash • LaFontaine Ashley Younce, 24 2006 Northfield Graduate May 1, 1987 – March 5, 2012

Ashley Paige Younce, 24, rural Wabash, passed away at 12:30 p.m. on March 5 at Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis. She was born on May 1, 1987, in Wabash, to Brian and Cynthia (Alford) Younce. Miss Younce was a 2006 graduate of Northfield High School. She was active in the 4-H Dog Club and a member of the National Honor Society. She enjoyed her time in the We Can Program at Heartland Career Center. She loved animals and music. Miss Younce lived with a smile that warmed the hearts of all she met. Sis leaves us far too soon, but her family is incredibly thankful to have been graced with her presence. She was young and vibrant, with a love for anything four-legged. With Macy, a loyal golden retriever she trained herself, Miss Younce would enter dog club with poise and determination. Sis always put her heart and soul into whatever she did, so it was no surprise that over the years she won several awards. Her affinity toward animals was not limited to land, and those who knew her best will always remember her affection for dolphins. When the Make a Wish Foundation allowed her the chance of a lifetime, a family trip to the Bahamas to swim with them, she could not have felt more blessed. Sis loved music, Emeril and the color purple. Every year for her birthday there was no need to ask where she wanted to go: Red Lobster it was. Shaggy and Scooby kept her company Saturday mornings and Ty stuffed animals kept her warm at night. Strong in spirit, she spent her life defying all expectations and wowing those closest to her every day. She will be sorely missed, and never forgotten. She is survived by her parents, Brian and Cynthia Younce of Wabash; two brothers, Aaron (Chelsea Cowman) Smith of Muncie and Justin (Amanda) Younce of Wabash; grandparents, Jerry and Bernie Younce of Wabash; two great-grandmothers, Esther Delores Nelson of Orlando, Fla., and Dorothy Alford of Wabash; nephew, Owen Smith of Muncie; and her healthcare aide, Cheryl Hedges of Laketon. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Lois and Charles Southwick, and her grandfather, Everett Dean “Al” Alford. Funeral services were held at Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service, 1241 Manchester Ave., Wabash, on March 9. Burial was in Huff Cemetery, Wabash. Preferred memorials are to the Make a Wish Foundation, Riley Hospital Biogenetics Department or IU Medical Center Transplant Unit.

Suspect arrested, stolen property recovered On March 8, the Wabash City Drug Task Force gained information on the whereabouts of stolen property that had been taken from a residence in Wabash County on March 7. The stolen property in question was reported to the Wabash County S h e r i f f ’ s Department, where items had been taken from a pole barn in rural Wabash County. From the information gained from the Drug Task Force, officers from the Wabash County S h e r i f f ’ s D e p a r t m e n t obtained a search warrant for a resi-

Items recovered included a motorcycle and an air compressor. One suspect has been arrested in this case. Ryan Warren, 26, rural Wabash, is incarcerated in the Wabash County Jail on charges of receiving stolen property.

Shawn Campbell guides Bremen wrestler to perfect season, state title by Brent Swan In just his second season at the helm, Bremen Wrestling Head Coach Shawn Campbell has been able to accomplish what many can only hope of – coaching an individual state champion. Campbell, the son of long-time Northfield head coach and member of the IHSWCA Hall of Fame, Bill Campbell, said this season has been one to remember. “Everything I’ve been able to do up here at Bremen is a direct result of what my dad has taught me over the years,” the younger Campbell, a 1988 graduate of Northfield High School said. “My parents have been so supportive - I can probably count on one hand how many of the

matches they have missed.” That support has helped Campbell turn a Bremen squad fresh off a two-win season to 1712 in 2012, the school’s first winning season since 2003. In addition to the improved record, Campbell has been able to persuade football players to take to the mats in the winter. “This year has been one of the better years, record wise as a team, that Bremen has had in a few years,” Shawn said. “A lot of our guys had a late start to the season as 10 of our 14 varsity wrestlers had played football this year.” Despite being thrown into the fire early, Campbell was able to get his team together in time for their first match at

Elkhart Central. “From the beginning of the season, you could see we had a good group of guys, and that stemmed in large part to Abraham (Hall),” Campbell explained. Hall, who last year finished 38-7, was outed in the opening round of the 2011 state finals by eventual third-place finisher Daniel Meyer of Bellmont. This year, however, Hall set his sights on the state title from the beginning. “During that first week of practice, I didn’t know if Abe would be able to wrestle in that first match against Elkhart Central,” Campbell said. “He was an All-State defensive lineman and was pretty banged up from football. “He came to me and

said ‘Coach, I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to wrestle this week’ so I told him to take a couple of days to think about it and let me know. About a day later, he told me he was going to give it a go because he wanted to have an undefeated season.” According to Campbell, they both knew it was a possibility but not an easy feat to accomplish. “We knew going in to the season that Abe could be something special,” Campbell said. “With each week that went by, his confidence grew and he was able to pull it off.” Although Hall was able to accomplish the undefeated season, Campbell said it was not without its fair share of stressful

moments. “I finally had to tell Abraham to quit going into overtime,” Campbell said of the multiple occasions Hall was forced into extended time. “I told him to stay aggressive and to keep the pressure on his opponents, so we didn’t have to keep going through that. He just had a calm demeanor to him. Even though he might have been pushed to overtime, he always knew he was in control.” After defeating the number one ranked 285-pound wrestler, Kaden Suter, in overtime of the state championship semi-finals 32, Hall had to defeat the second ranked wrestler in the finals. Hall was able to secure a takedown en route to a 3-1 victory over Dominque

Stauffer of Elkhart Central to claim the Indiana state title at 285 pounds and cap off a 50-0 season. In addition to the state title, Hall was also named the Ward E. Brown Mental Attitude Award recipient, given annually to a senior wrestler who excels in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership, and athletic ability. Hall ranks eighth in his class academically while excelling in both football and wrestling. Like his coach, Hall was able to draw inspiration from his own father, Wade, a 1979 state runner-up. “It’s a neat feeling to be able to put a finish to something your dad wasn’t able to,” Campbell said. “For both of us to finish something our dads

worked to do while they were actively involved in wrestling, is that much more rewarding.” Going forward, Campbell hopes his squad uses Hall’s season as a source of inspiration to continue the progress made throughout his fouryear career. “What Abraham was able to show to our other guys was that hard work does pay off,” Campbell said. “He was one of our two seniors, and had only wrestled since his freshman year. What he was able to accomplish in such a short period of time is a testament to how much he put into this. He was a driven individual that wanted to be the best at whatever he was doing.”

Northfield Norsemen fall in regional final

by Gary Andrews The Northfield boys basketball team got one step closer to their ultimate goal March 10 in the first game of the Tipton regional, building a lead as high as 16 points before holding on for a 74-67 win over Frankton. The Norse got off to a good start; settling down the Frankton crowd who was excited at their first ever regional. With 3:12 left in the first quarter Dustin Echard hit to give Northfield a 9-7 lead. The Norse started to take command on a Ryan Givens rebound bucket, going up 13-9 with 2 minutes to play. Continuing to build their lead, Ethan Stouffer grabbed a rebound and put it back in to make it 17-9. Frankton would score the last four points of the quarter as the Norse led 17-13. Frankton would not back down from the Norse. Northfield led just 28-26 with 1:51 to

go, thanks in part to perfect free throw shooting in the first half. Dustin Echard hit two free throws with :35 to put the Norse up 32-28 at the half. Halfway through the third quarter the Norse started to impose their will. Ryan Keaffaber hit a three to put the Norse up 8 and was followed by two Chad Glasscock steals for buckets, making it 4635. Northfield kept the heat on, building the lead to 54-38 after a Glasscock three. Frankton would then make a run, cutting the lead to 60-55 with 3:12 left in the game. The last four minutes, Frankton fouled on every possession to get the ball back and the hot Northfield free throw shooting went cold. Stouffer and Glasscock hit one each and it was 64-61 with 1:49 to go. Again, Frankton would foul, this time with Glasscock hitting both

to make it 66-61. With :43 left, Northfield led 68-64 when Echard was fouled, hitting one. Up 69-67 the Norse turned the ball over and Frankton had a chance to tie or take the lead, but the Norse came up with the stop. The Norse hit a few more free throws the last remaining seconds to secure the 74-67 win. Chad Glasscock led the Norse with 25 points and 6 rebounds. Dustin Echard added 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists. Ryan Givens collected 12 points and 7 rebounds, while Ryan Keaffaber chipped in 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals. Everyone knew if Northfield and Tipton met in the championship that it would be a slow down slugfest. That would end up being an under statement. The Tipton depth eventually wore down

the Norse, who fell 5338 to the hosts. The two teams got off to a slow start on the offensive side of the ball. Tied at 4 Tipton would score the next five points to take a 9-4 lead. Ryan Givens answered with a bucket and then Ryan Keaffaber hit a three with .04 left and the Norse trailed 11-9 after one. Keaffaber would hit the first bucket of the second quarter to knot the score at 11 when Tipton would go on a 5-0 run. Keaffaber would hit again and was followed by a Collin Dawes three to tie the score at 16. Down 2, Chad Glasscock hit two free throws to tie it again at 18. At 21-18 Givens connected before Tipton hit right before the buzzer and the Blue Devils led 2320 at the half. In the third quarter, officials totally lost control of the game, with just 12 total

points being scored in the quarter, 10 of them by Tipton. Things were getting chippy, both on the floor and in the stands. Ryan Givens hit the lone Norse bucket with 2:11 to go in the quarter. Tipton led 3322 after three. Tipton started the fourth quarter on a

11-3 run to increase their lead to 44-25. At 50-30, Ryan Keaffaber hit two buckets, one a threepointer, followed by an Echard bucket to make it 50-38. Tipton would score the final three points on free throws for the 53-38 final. Ryan Keaffaber led the Norse with 13

points and 5 rebounds. Chad Glasscock added 11 points, while Ryan Givens chipped in 9 points and 4 rebounds. Northfield finished the season with an outstanding record of 22-4, which included a 20 game winning streak, a TRC Championship, and a Sectional Championship.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE TRACTORS driven to Northfield High School by members of the Northfield FFA during National FFA Week. “In 1947 at a National FFA Board of Directors meeting, the week of George Washington’s birthday was designated as National FFA Week.” Sixty-five years later, FFA Week still runs from Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington’s birthday. (photo provided) S c h o o l , Elkhart. Evan, #50, has started as The Crimson Chargers varsity center in his junior and senior year. Currently this season, the Elkhart Chargers basketball team is 24-1. Last week, the Chargers participated in the sweet 16 Michigan City Regionals and won the tournament by outscoring Merrillville 81-63 in the morning game and then returning to beat South Bend Adams in the evening tournament. Evan Weaver had a career high 17 points and 10 rebounds against Merrillville with a near perfect 78 from the field and 3-4 at the line against Merrillville. In the evening tournament game, the Memorial team trailed S.B. Adams by 9 points late into the third when Memorial erased the deficit in two minutes which

resulted in a alleyoop slam dunk by 6’6” senior, Evan Weaver to tie the game at 55 all. Memorial continued the third and fourth quarter rally to finish the Regional with a 73-70 win over Adams. Evan scored 15 points and had 8 rebounds against Adams. The last Sectional title won by Memorial was in 2009 and the last Regional Title was won 23 years ago in 1989. Evan Weaver and the Memorial Crimson Chargers team now advance to the Final Four of the Semi-State at Huntington North this weekend on Saturday evening at 6 p.m. The Weaver family appreciates your support and look forward to seeing you at the Final Four in Huntington.

LAKETON

HOPE YOU HAVE adjusted to the clocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jump forward. Daylight Savings Time was supposed to help businesses have more daylight to sell things and save money on candles (before electricity). DURING THE 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S, the town of Laketon had the largest increase of industry in the county. The largest addition to the town was in 1955 when the Laketon Refinery Co. purchased a plot of land from the Buckeye Pipeline Corporation and set up a refinery for oil products. Buckeye officials sold their pumping station located on the west edge of the town when they found a pumping station located farther west could save them money. They constructed a new pumping station at North Judson, the center of their pipelines that run into Chicago. The refinery hired between 35 and 40 men to operate the plant. The town had Long Lake, located just north of the main business district, which drew thousands of people each summer for fishing, picnic and swimming. During 1958, Paul Hathaway and Phil Oppenheim, North Manchester businessmen, promoted a new housing addition on the south side of the lake. The new addition was/is called Sandy Beach Estate and in early June, 16 new summer cottages were under construction. (by Ron Woodward) THE SEWER MEETING will be held on March 15 at 7 p.m. There is a need for several more Income Surveys to be turned in. This is an important step to help keep the individual household cost down.

This could save as much as $20 per month ($240 per year) for each and every household. If you no longer have your survey or lost it please contact Stan Bagley at 260-982-8230 for another survey. THE LIONS CLUB celebrated their 60th year anniversary on March 11 at the Pleasant Township Fire Station where they held a Meet & Greet with refreshments and a tree planting. They decided on a Poplar (Tulip) tree to plant, which is the Indiana State tree. THE EASTER BUNNY IS COMING on March 17. Breakfast with the Easter Bunny will be held at the Laketon Pleasant Township Fire Station from 7 to 11 a.m. After the breakfast, the Easter Egg Hunt will start at 11 a.m. Be sure to have your kids there on time. THE LAKETON PLEASANT TOWN-

SHIP ASSOCIATION would like to welcome two new businesses to Laketon. Welcome to The Round Barn Metal Works Inc. John Mugford, Jr., Owner & Fabricator, and Millwright Services, Bill Dyson, Owner. We hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy working in our community. At the February Association meeting, it was agreed to send a care package to a local veteran, Rex Tharp, who was wounded in Afghanistan and is in a California hospital recuperating. The next meeting for the Laketon Pleasant T o w n s h i p Association will be March 26 at 7 p.m. FREE WILL DONATION on Mondays at the Laketon Legion for a breakfast and dinner buffet. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every Monday and only on Mondays, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it. LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HAVE

Ford urges voters to take action Dear editor, To all the people who thought that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right to Workâ&#x20AC;? policy would bring good jobs to Indiana, I have a couple bridges I would like to sell them. However, for those who think it was an attack on Unions and the Democratic Party, I suggest that they should think a little longer; in reality, it was an assault on labor itself. In actuality, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right to Workâ&#x20AC;? policy was pushed forward so that all Hoosier employees (both Union and nonunion workers), inevitably, would not be able to earn a fair wage with decent benefits. It was an assault on the American dream of home ownership, to buy good transportation, to be able to take your family on vacations, to be able to afford a decent education for your children, and then finally be able to retire with financial stability and dignity. The Republican Party may have secured a small victory at the Statehouse, but the real fight will begin at the ballot box. All workers must unite in solidarity to vote out all politicians who voted for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right to Workâ&#x20AC;? bill. So, if you are not a registered voter, get registered and prepare yourself to help all Hoosiers take our state back and preserve the American dream for all of us, for our children and our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children. We deserve it, they deserve it and all of Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents deserve it. We must not forget that Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children today will consist of the majority of Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor force in the future. Fred Ford
