Dairy Queen franchise to open in Wabash by Danielle Swan DSmith @thepaperofwabash.com

Brad Walker of H&H Development and Troy Terew of True North appeared before the Wabash Board of Zoning Appeals on March 22, seeking approval of two variances and a special exception for the Dairy Queen franchise they plan to open at 1015 N. Cass St., Wabash. One variance was requested because the proposed 1,900 square foot building is smaller than the required 3,000 square feet. This variance passed unanimously along with the special exception for the drive-thru service. The second variance was for a reduction in the requirement of a 15-foot setback from property lines. The franchisees requested this variance as their drivethru is proposed to sit only 11 feet from the rear property line. Upon discussion, it was determined that the variance was unnecessary because the setback requirement is for the structure itself. Accessory uses are allowed in the area between the structure and property line. The actual

building that will house the business will sit 34 feet from the rear property line. At the meeting, several concerns were discussed such as the screening between the Dairy Queen property and the neighboring properties in the rear. The board determined that the existing pine trees, which the franchisees plan to retain, provide adequate screening. The franchisees assured the Board that the drive-thru lighting will be down lighting, which will not impede on neighboring properties. “If we need to add evergreens, we’re all for it,” said Walker. “We want to be neighborly and friendly and if that’s what it requires, we’re all for it.” One individual, Ray Prater, speaking on behalf of a friend that lives on a neighboring property, raised concerns about the size of the lot not being large enough to accommodate parking for the business. City ordinance requires one parking space for every three customers at maximum capacity and one parking space for every two employees.

DAIRY QUEEN is projected to be open by the end of June for peak season. The business is expected to employ an average of 1520 employees at any given point. (graphic provided)

The franchisees and the Board agreed that adequate parking was within requirements. Prater also raised concerns about trash traveling over the fence into the yards of

neighboring properties, which he says is already a problem even without the added restaurant. “I understand their concerns so we want to do everything we

can to keep it clean,” Walker said. “We want to maintain it because it’s our image and we have to abide by our national standards because we’re a national franchise.” The franchisees are currently waiting on approval of state permits, and they hope to break ground on the

new Dairy Queen Grill & Chill within 15-30 days. Walker says their goal is to open by the end of June for “peak season”. The new Dairy Queen will employ about 15 employees at any given time, with possibly 20 during the busy season.

H&H Development also owns nine Dairy Queen franchises in Fort Wayne and has four new Dairy Queens in the building stages in Indianapolis. They also have Dunkin’ Donuts franchises in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne.

Wabash Kiwanis Club donates $1,000 to YMCA Youth Sports Initiative

WABASH KIWANIS CLUB presents a $1,000 check to the Wabash County YMCA to benefit the 2012 Youth Sports Initiative and Childcare Initiative. Presenting the check to Clint Kugler (center), CEO of the Wabash County YMCA, are Ali VanBuskirk (right), treasurer of Wabash Kiwanis Club, and Deborah VanMeter (left), president. (photo provided)

On Feb. 28, the Wabash Kiwanis Club donated $1,000 to the YMCA for its 2012 Youth Sports Initiative and Childcare Initiative. The 88 members of the local chapter of Kiwanis are dedicated to following the mission of Kiwanis International, which is to “change the world, one child at a time.” The YMCA Youth Sports Initiative provides sports scholarships for children in the community who would otherwise be prevented from participating in sports due to financial hardship. The Childcare Initiative is made up of a series of programs designed to provide year-round care for children any time they are not in school. The focus of the programs is geared to improving academic achievement, developing healthy lifestyles

and encouraging artistic expression. Wabash Kiwanis Club consists of a group of volunteers who raise funds throughout the year. All proceeds from fundraisers are designated for programs geared to help children locally as well as internationally. In addition to the recent donation to the YMCA, the Wabash Kiwanis Club also made donations to Junior Achievement and FAME. As part of the effort to enhance the quality of life for children around the world, a $1,000 donation was made to K i w a n i s International to aid the Eliminate Project. The Eliminate project is

a global effort intended to eradicate the threat of neonatal tetanus worldwide. For additional information regarding the Youth Sports Initiative, contact

Ivy Tech Community College in Sheriff’s Department receives Wabash working on master plan Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant

Ivy Tech representatives have begun meeting with our campus leadership including facilities, academics and student services to develop a 10-year facility master plan for the Wabash campus. This is part of an overall regional master plan project announced in

enrollment grew from 200 students a semester in 2002 to 400 students a semester currently. This plan will give us a road map for future growth and development,” said Pam Guthrie, executive director of the Wabash campus. The final product will be a master plan with campus utilization profiles, assessments of each facility’s condition, projections for future growth and short- and long-term goals and r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s. The plan will include suggestions to address future growth and educational needs. The master plan is scheduled to be completed in September 2012.

The Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department recently received a grant for purchasing bulletproof vests. The Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant was approved by the Department of Justice for the purchase of nine new bulletproof vests for the Department. “This is a matching grant and saved us $3,100 in cost,” Sheriff Bob Land said. “Without these types of grants, which are available to law enforcement, many agencies would not be able to afford such a cost.

He will be speaking at the Wabash Friends Leadership Luncheon on April 11 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Wabash Friends Church (new Family Center). He will speak on How to Confront and Maintain a Close Relationship. Townsend stated: “Leaders need to know how to have that difficult conversation in a way that solves issues and yet preserves alliances and positivity in the relationship. People sometimes err on the side of being clear and truthful but cold, or of being warm but conflict-avoidant. Either extreme can be costly to the organization. I will lead the attendees through a proven 8step sequence of effective confrontation. Learning these confrontation competencies will definitely produce the results leaders want for their team or organization.” Scott Makin, director of the Wabash Friends Counseling Center, said, “We anticipate a very large crowd for Dr. Townsend so people will want to get their reservations in early. We have had nearly 150 leaders join us before to hear Dr. Townsend.” A light lunch will be catered. Dr. Townsend is not

charging an honorarium. A free book is included in each registration - Leadership Beyond Reason (a $15 retail value). This training is cosponsored by the Wabash Chamber of Commerce. “We are glad to collaborate with the Wabash Chamber to bring cutting edge leaders to all the businesses in Wabash,” said Makin. “Bringing in high caliber resource people is just one more way the Chamber is serving its members and the Wabash community.” This is the beginning of the sixth year that the Wabash Friends Counseling Center has provided monthly Leadership Luncheon Trainings to the Wabash community. Over 1,000 different leaders from 170 different businesses have attended. The purpose of these workshops is to help train local leaders to make a difference not only in the work place, but in their families and community. Participants are also given a packet of other leadership resources such as a book review on the latest leadership book, a leadership article and a website focused on leadership.

Konyha, president and CEO of Economic Development Group of Wabash County; Jason Callahan, superintendent of Wabash City Schools; Clint Kugler, executive director of Wabash County YMCA; Richard Ford; Christine Flohr, executive director of the Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau; and delegates from the Wabash and North Manchester chambers of commerce, Wabash Marketplace, Manchester Main Street and Indiana Landmarks. Skillman’s tour involves her meeting with local leaders in

each of Indiana’s 92 counties to discuss how to better serve constituents, how to create partnerships and how to share resources. Wabash was Skillman’s 43rd stop on the tour. “This is a special, special county,” she said. “You have great resources, you have a great quality of life. I know we’ve all been through a tough three or four years in Indiana and every community has experienced their share of

difficulty, but here you have certainly maintained your very strong foundation throughout that period because I do believe the worst of times are behind us.” The group discussed Indiana Main Street and Wabash County’s corresponding organizations, Wabash Marketplace and Manchester Main Street. “We’re so appreciative for what Indiana Main Street and the Office of Community

and Rural Affairs brings to our community,” said Parker Beauchamp. “Our local Main Street program, Wabash Marketplace, has been on a roll for at least two or three years now with full-time directors and a really enthusiastic board and you’ve seen it in façade grants, new owners and maybe a dozen new businesses.” He briefly discussed the aspiration of locating a regional

Ivy Tech campus in Downtown Wabash. Renata Robinson, newly installed executive director of Manchester Main Street, spoke about the transformation of that organization, and Dan Hannaford, town manager, discussed their innovative funding idea for completing a beautification streetscape project in North Manchester. Flohr and Konyha explained how the work of the Main (continued on page 7)

these nonprofit organizations thrive, meet their goals and have strong leadership,” Flohr said. “I can bring in as many people as I want, but if our Downtown is starting to deteriorate, businesses looking to relocate.” “Community Development is the best economic development,” Skillman agreed. “I know that job creation and attraction is number one in every community today, but they have to be inclusive, not mutually exclusive. It has to be approached as one united effort. We’re not talking about big business locating, we’re talking about more people coming into our community and they will care about the schools and the shopping and the Downtown.” The group also discussed Wabash County’s focus on bringing young professionals into the community. Kim Pinkerton, president of the Wabash Chamber of Commerce, discussed the Honor Student Luncheon, leadership development workshops and the Young Professionals Network. “I’ve spoken to many young professionals organizations throughout the state, but typically they have been in South Bend or Evansville or more metropolitan areas,” Skillman said. “I saw them all intimately involved in the community and you knew that community was going to be sustainable because the

young people took such an active role in the leadership.” Kugler shared the work that the YMCA has collaborated with the local schools to accomplish, which includes a program to provide nutritious food to low-income families with children over the summer months. “We’re the only community in the State of Indiana that received a grant to expand this program and give out another 1,000 meals so that we’re sending kids home on the weekends with nutritious food,” he said. He also mentioned the water safety program that is being provided to fourth and fifth grade students at Wabash City Schools and a summer reading curriculum that will be tested in Wabash. “Our community is one of seven communities in the country that will beta test this curriculum out of East Charlotte that is demonstrating, instead of reduced reading levels, an improvement of four months over the summer time,” he said. “That’s through collaboration with the city, the schools, with businesses, with churches. We’re doing a lot of good stuff collectively because we have a spirit of collaboration.” Callahan shared the latest graduation statistics with the group and discussed why he feels that Wabash reported a graduation rate at six percent above the state average, even while

reporting a rate of free and reduced lunches at 16 percent above the state average. He discussed how the county schools chose not to compete with each other during this time of economic strife. “I think it’s that collaboration, that sense of community, that sense that we all have a piece in this puzzle and I can’t think of a better community,” he said. “We have phenomenal faculty and staff, but it really speaks to this community.” “We know it’s been tough fiscal times for schools, it’s been tough for local units of government,” Skillman said. “It’s been tough at the state level as well, we have the fewest number of state employees since 1976; but often that’s when we become the most innovative and creative and we do reach out to create more partnerships to get things done. To me, that’s been one silver lining over the last three or four years.” Skillman’s second term as lieutenant governor will end this year.

Three organizations removed from Special Group Recognition License Plate Program At the written request of 20 Indiana Senators, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) has reviewed allegations that the Indiana Youth Group (IYG) violated its professional services contract for participation in the Special Group Recognition License Plate Program with the BMV by offering low-digit license plates for unauthorized monetary contributions. The BMV has determined that the IYG violated state law and I n d i a n a Administrative Code, along with Section 1.A.viii of the contract, and has suspended IYG’s further

participation in the Special Group Recognition License Plate Program, effective March 16. After the Senators brought this violation to our attention, the BMV reviewed the websites of all other organizations currently participating in the Special Group Recognition License Plate Program and found that the G r e e n w a y s Foundation and the Indiana 4-H Foundation have also violated state law and administrative code by publicizing the sale of low-digit special group license plates for their respective organizations. Therefore, the BMV is

also suspending their further participation in the Special Group Recognition License Plate Program, effective March 16. No new plates will be issued for these three organizations after that date; however, plates already issued may be renewed until the Legislature alters or clarifies the Special Group Recognition License Plate Program. This decision was based on the Indiana Code limiting the fees that the BMV may collect to $25 and the Indiana Administrative Code prohibiting the unauthorized sale of low digit plates. This provision was originally added to the Indiana

Administrative Code to prevent license plate fundraising abuse when the BMV was a political operation. All organizations in the specialty group plate program will receive notice from the BMV reminding them of the provisions of the Indiana Code and Indiana Administrative Code that prohibit the unauthorized sale of their low-digit plates. If proof of similar activity by any other organization is brought to the BMV, the BMV staff will pursue and administer similar sanctions based on similar circumstances.

good news for Indiana. Indiana’s unemployment rate dropped to 8.7 percent in January from a revised rate of 8.9 percent the previous month. “The academic research and many forecasters use the growth of the labor force as a leading indicator of recovery, so this is good news for the state,” says Hicks, director of Ball State’s Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER). “More importantly, the job creation numbers are at the level to have us back to nearly full employment by winter. That’s a big contrast to the nation as a whole, which is more than three years away from recovery. “

WE HAVE BEEN SPOILED with this nice weather. I hope it continues cause all the plants are budding out and blooming. ROMAN SOLDIERS are credited with inventing the game of horseshoes around the year 100 A.D. It was played in Roman army camps. A m e r i c a n Revolutionary War soldiers pitched horseshoes, and it was said that the

Duke of Wellington declared the war was won by the pitchers of steel, meaning horseshoes. The game became popular in both America and Canada. It didn’t have set rules until 1914. Around that time, a group of men established rules and standardized equipment. In 1920, the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association of America was incorporated. Today, the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association includes a federation of 60 charters from Canada and the United States. The federations include numerous club and individual members. The game has gone international and has been introduced to numerous countries including Australia, England, Israel, Italy, Russia

facebook

and Sweden. This association estimates there are more than 15 million horseshoe enthusiasts enjoying the game, playing in t o u r n a m e n t s leagues, backyards and recreational areas. Pitching horseshoes is a popular outdoor game, adaptable for people of all ages. It is well suited for family gatherings, group picnics and park-like settings. Because it requires minimal equipment and setup, it is adaptable as a portable game. Many public parks have horseshoe pits for its visitors. Wabash County has over 150 Horseshoe pitchers. The North Manchester Parks and Recreation Board were excited when Larry Hively and Brian Howell took it upon them-

selves to update the horseshoe pits at Warvel Park, North Manchester. The sand pits have concrete runners with handicap, women and seniors accessibility. Brian and Larry are starting a Manchester and Laketon league at Warvel Park. Larry Hively is offering classes for new horseshoe pitchers on Sundays at 3 p.m. For more information, call Larry Hively, 260-982-9731 or Brian Howell, 734560-9431. THE SEWER MEETING will be held on April 19 at 6:30 p.m. There is a need for a few 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

His anchor legs in both events were unbelievably quick,” Cassel said. Also winning events were McNeeley in the 100m dash (11.3)

and the 200m dash (23.3), Matthew FahsBrown in the 3200 run (10:50), and Cole Sellers in the discus ( 1 2 3 ’ ) .

Carter was third in the high jump (5’ 8”), while Casper was third in the 200m dash (24.3), and Sam Rhoades was third in the discus (107’). “The guys were very competitive,” Cassel said. “We need to work out a few kinks, but overall, we should have a very good season.” Tie with

Southwood The Squires needed a come from behind win in the 1600m relay to pull out a 61-61 tie against Southwood. The team of Casper, Naragon, McDaniel and McNeeley won with a time of 3:40.8. McNeeley took the final hand-off 30 yards behind Southwood, but pulled it out at the finish line. The 400m relay team of Penrod, McNeeley, Naragon and Casper also won with a time of 45.8. McNeeley also won the 100m dash (11.3) and the 200m dash (23.7), while Carter won the 110m hurdles (17.2), and FahsBrown won the 3200m run (10:45.8). Coming in second

Artistica Gallery to hold contest of paintings of historical Wabash buildings Artistica Gallery will be sponsoring a contest of paintings of historical architectural buildings, homes or churches in the City of Wabash. Artists are invited to contact the Gallery for guidelines to enter this contest. Paintings will be available for public viewing from Aug. 19 until Sept. 16. Artists can paint with oils, acrylics, pastels or watercolors in a 16x20 or larger size; either plein aire or from a photograph. Pictures are not to be matted or framed. The Gallery will accept paintings Aug. 10 and 11. A fee will be charged to accept paintings. There will be no fee if your work is not accepted. A critique on why a painting is not accepted is available for a small fee. A list of historic

architectural houses, government and civic buildings and churches is available for artists to select from if desired. “I want artists to know the Gallery is interested in paintings that will be appealing to the public’s eye,” said Joyce DeVore, gallery manager. “The Gallery has been getting requests for some specific locations and I’ve decided to have a contest for paintings rather than a regular art show. Everyone can win in this unusual contest and show.” A group of three or four artists will select three paintings, based on how well the artwork makes the painting appealing to the viewer, and Gallery personnel will choose a winner. Depending on the amount of paintings received,

C E L E B R AT E RECOVERY: I am so excited to bring you this piece of information. The Congregational Christian Church has a companion program offered on Thursday nights, the same time as Celebrate Recovery, and it is called Celebration Station and it is for elementary-aged kids. We help them in the same way that we help adults: by making life’s healing choices and finding freedom from our hurts, hang-ups and habits. We enjoy a potluck every third Thursday (next one is on April 19) and we always have plenty of food, so I encourage everyone to join in as we Celebrate Recovery. We

meet every Thursday night in the Congregational Christian Church, corner of 4th & Walnut streets in North Manchester. Call 260-9822882 if you have any questions. As I said previously, I am excited to print this information because Pastor JP Freeman and his congregation have realized the need to address the needs of our children. I see too many children that slip through the proverbial crack and don’t get the attention, love and ministering that they really need. If you know of a child that would benefit from this program, don’t just tell them about it, put them in the car and join them because you will find your heart will receive a blessing as well. SILENT AUCTION: The Garber-Simmons Senior Center (a United Fund agency) will be holding its annual fundraiser with a Silent Auction on April 13. The auction will be held at the Town Life Center, 603 Bond St., North Manchester. The doors

March 28, 2012

will open at 6 p.m. with the bidding starting at 6:30 p.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m. There will be door prizes, light refreshments and entertainment by the Manchester College Jazz Band. Items for the auction that night will include gift certificates from local business, jewelry, gently used Vera Bradley bags, an afghan, books and many more items. New items are arriving daily. Admission is free. For more information, call the Senior Center at 260982-0535. NORTH MANCHESTER GOES GREEN: On April 21, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., North Manchester goes Green is a free Earth Day event, sponsored by the North Manchester Public Library to educate the citizens of North Manchester about the importance of preserving the future through green life styles. Come to this event to learn what you can do to help save the planet, even in our small town. Come learn about gardening, composting, reuse, recy-

cling all types of materials, the benefits of shopping local and much more. There will be door prizes throughout the day and recycling games and crafts for the kids. All ages are welcome. For more information on the event, contact the library at 260-982-4773. T H U R S D AY ’ S CHILD: A Christian ministry that provides free baby and toddler items is located at 108 S. Mill St., North Manchester, at the north end of the Fellowship of Church’s building. Enter using the deck entrance. Thursday’s Child is open on Thursdays except for holidays from 1 to 4 p.m. The ministry’s mission statement declares that “if you need it, and we’ve got it, you can have it.” Items available include baby through 4T clothing, diapers, wipes, shampoo, wash, onesies, sleepers, baby food and formula. There are just a few guidelines such as being the parent or legal guardian of the child, participating no more than once a month, and following rules regarding quantity of items chosen. Thursday’s Child operates on prayers and donations. Most of the clothing is donated by a consignment shop. Churches and other supportive folks as well as some of the ministry’s clients contribute new and used clothing we well as other items. Soon, the volunteers will be packing up the fall/winter clothing and bringing out spring and summer things. All will be in readiness before the end of March. Thursday’s Child provides necessary items to those in need. I’m sure if some of our readers have items they no longer need they could contact the church and donate to a great cause. BIRTHDAYS: Your birthday or anniversary goes here! TALK TO ME: Does your church group, club or other group have an event or something of interest the rest of the community would be interested in hearing about? Let me know and I can pass it along. Do you have any questions about what’s happening in this town, if so, ask me and I will do my best to find the answer for you. DEADLINE for news is Wednesday by 5 p.m. for the following week’s edition. If you would like to include yourself or a friend or neighbor in the birthday or anniversary list, please let me know at my email address. I can also be reached via Facebook or phone at 260-578-7319.

Slee shares political thoughts Trevin Dear editor, Six of one and half a dozen of the other is how the issue recently addressed by Fred Ford could be summed up. I can both agree and disagree with either side of that “coin”. Incidentally, it is the

very same underlying factor which is the root cause of America’s problems. It is very true that numerous abuses to employees occur every day by employers: they want more and more for the same amount of

Friends Cemetery The Friends Cemetery is asking that gravesites be cleaned by this Sunday, April 1st. Nothing is to be left on the ground. If all decorations are not removed, we are assuming that you want the cemetery staff to remove and dispose of the decorations that remain. Decorations on shepherd hooks, in urns or in saddles may be left with exception of Christmas decorations which we ask to be removed at this time. Clean up of the cemetery will be completed by APRIL 6th. Decorations can be returned/ replaced after this date, once again nothing is to be on the ground in the way of mowing. Thanks for your help in maintaining our cemetery. Mowing will start this next week, weather permitting.

wage and within the same time frame. Workers these days are forced to become similar to a robot. I know a good dog handler who was fired from an animal shelter, because she took a federally mandated, allowed leave (a week or so) in order to spend time with her son. He was home on leave after being stationed in Iraq, and was due to go to Afghanistan. A union would have surely come up for air on that and made sure that the woman didn’t lose her job. Most factories have a very well thought out and concisely written policy covering all aspects of employer to employee and employee to employee relations.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Indiana’s “work at will” statute often makes that null and void. On the other hand, worker abuse of union situations often runs just as rampant as the abuses meted out by greedy, selfish, unfair employers. Laziness and poor excuses for not working make the very idea of a union seem meaningless. There is a beer brewery in North Carolina for Anheiser Busch which was a union shop in 1982, and likely still is. Trucks were lined up for a mile or more, waiting to get loaded, due to the then current demand. Forklift drivers were required to load six trucks during each

eight hour shift. One operator had his quota complete, with over an hour left before quitting time. Good operators could load a truck every 45 minutes. Since they were overwhelmed with orders, he spent the remainder of his shift helping other operators load their trucks. He did that just to be helpful, expecting nothing in return. His unexpected reward was that he got fired. So in that case, union regulations punished good intentions and efficient results, and promoted indifference and inefficiency. The Republicans can’t be solely blamed, nor can the Democrats. Both parties have corruption in the ranks. I am p r i m a r i l y Republican, but I vote split ticket, and believe that we should be able to do so during the pri-

maries as well as the finals. People who vote strictly for one party or the other are shorting America. In certain areas, probably many, Dennis Kucinich (D) would get my vote. He is a good man and knows what it means to work. There is nothing wrong with our original constitution. What is wrong is the selfish, greedy, conniving people who abuse liberty and freedom, and the magistrates who fail to properly administer fairness in the dispositions of cases. That is one of America’s major downfalls. The continuance of true liberty and freedom has one major attachment: responsibility. As we can all see, responsibility has been largely discarded. Sir Alex Fraser Tytler had it right, as did Abe Lincoln. Todd Slee Roann

25 LaFontaine Utility asks customers to clear balances www.thepaperofwabash.com

March 28, 2012

Dear editor, LaFontaine, like others, is experiencing tough times. The Water and Wastewater Utility is feeling the crunch also. The cost of running and maintaining our utilities is no different than any other business, or your household for that matter. Energy cost, supplies, and required services are higher than ever before. Our overhead is pretty much locked in. Monthly bills must be paid, regular testing is required and maintenance schedules must be kept in order to keep the utilities in constant and

good working order. You, as the customer, have every right to expect the utilities to provide the service you pay for. Good clean water, coming and going! Our goal is to provide that service, but we need your help. Each month you receive a bill for your share of the cost of operation. Most of you are very dedicated on paying and paying on time, and we thank you for that. It is not so easy for others, and we understand that. However, for the utilities to work well, and to be fair to every cus-

Y R R A B R E K N BU

tomer, it is important that each carries their own share of the load and makes their payment in a timely fashion. Your unpaid bill ultimately lands on the back of your neighbor. In the past, there has been a practice, by some, to make a partial payment toward the monthly bill, which would leave a balance owed. This practice is not provided by our Utility Ordinance, and has created a substantial amount of money owed to the utility. We can no longer allow this to continue and have ini-

dent, Gary Henderson, Town Council, or Jon Gillespie, Town Council. Dennis Jones LaFontaine Utility

acknowledges with great appreciation all those that contributed in any way in the passing of Maurice. Those that sent flowers, food, or special gifts, whatever the part, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A special thank you to the WFWB Church for all the love and support and the wonderful food they prepared. A special thank you to Pastor Holbert Meek, for his kind and comforting words. And to the McDonal Funeral Home for all their kind and professional services! May God bless you all.

Governors agree on plan to pay for two new bridges across Ohio River and responsibilities for financing and building the new bridges. The two states have negotiated a term sheet to form the basis for the historic MOU and the project’s financial plan. Each state hosted informational meetings that drew hundreds of private sector professionals interested in competing to build the project. Under the bi-state agreement, Indiana will oversee construction of the East End bridge between Utica and Prospect, Ky. This bridge will link the Lee H a m i l t o n Expressway in Indiana and the Gene Snyder Freeway in Kentucky, completing a loop around the east end of the greater metropolitan area. The state plans to use a private sector partner for financing, construction and long-term maintenance of the bridge. As a part of its initial steps, Indiana has assembled an advisory team,

these new bridges are the key to making them real,” said Governor Mitch Daniels. “Through cooperation and determination, we will achieve what this region has talked about - but been unable to deliver - for four decades,” said Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear. The governors opened the meeting of the Louisville and Southern Indiana Bridges Authority by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines each state’s terms

The governors of Indiana and Kentucky have forged a historic agreement to pay for two new bridges across the Ohio River. Construction will begin before year’s end and is expected to be completed within six years at a cost $1.5 billion less than originally projected. “Decades of waiting for greater convenience and quality of life in the metro area will soon be over, but that’s only part of what’s ahead: Southern Indiana has tremendous economic prospects and

including financial, technical and legal advisors, to help manage the competitive bidding process that will identify a private partner to build the East End crossing. Indiana will issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) to identify the private sector teams interested in partnering with the state on a rapid and innovative approach to completing the East End crossing. Responses will be due in a month and a short list of bid teams will be selected by the third week of April. Indiana will issue its request for proposals to those teams by the beginning of May, with the expectation of awarding a contract by year end. Kentucky will oversee financing and construction of the downtown portion - a new I-65 bridge, a reconfigured Kennedy Bridge and modernization of the downtown interchanges on both sides of the river. The Commonwealth will use a design-build

approach with the Kentucky Public Transportation Infrastructure Authority (KPTIA) issuing toll revenue bonds to help cover construction costs. Kentucky issued a draft request for qualifications (RFQ) and will finalize the document. All teams will be required to submit their qualifications by April 2 and Kentucky will select the three competing finalists by April 16. Teams will spend the summer developing specific proposals that will include innovative concepts, technical designs and cost details. The schedule calls for the winning team to be selected in October, allowing preliminary construction work to begin before year’s end. According to the financial plan adopted by the Bridges Authority and submitted to the KPTIA for approval: - the two states will use a combination of traditional transportation funding and toll-based funding and will share the toll revenues collected on the project bridges. - Kentucky has pledged $536 million in traditional funding for the downtown portion. - Indiana has committed $432 million in traditional funding for the East End portion. Kentucky’s portion

of the plan requires Kentucky General Assembly approval of traditional transportation dollars, which are part of Beshear’s recommended six-year highway plan. The financial plan was contemplated by the Kentucky law and the Indiana executive order that created the Bridges Authority. Before construction can begin later this year, the Federal H i g h w a y Administration must approve a more detailed plan under its own guidelines. The Bridges Authority helped the states reach agreement on two potential financing and delivery options for the $2.6 billion project, and the governors agreed in December to use both approaches - but in separate procurements led by the two states - to save time and money. Under the plan, tolls will be collected on the new East End bridge, the new downtown I-65 bridge and the revamped Kennedy Bridge. Tolls will begin as soon as the first bridge is completed. Under the current plan, toll rates would be in the range of $1 per crossing for frequent commuters in cars, SUVs and other passenger vehicles using transponder

devices. Toll rates for other cars, SUVs and passenger vehicles would be in the $2 range; panel trucks in the $5 range, and tractor trailers in the $10 range. Toll rates would be set and periodically adjusted by the two states’ transportation and finance agencies and governed by the financing contracts and bond agreements the states reach with private sector firms. Tolls would be collected by a thirdparty vendor mutually chosen by the two states. Though decreased federal support for major transportation projects have forced states across the country to rely more heavily on tolls or to shelve needed interstate improvements, Beshear and Daniels said they will continue to pursue the limited federal funding opportunities that could potentially lower toll rates and ease the burden on the two states’ citizens and motorists. The states have submitted a Letter of Interest for funding support through the next round of federal TIFIA awards and will make a joint application next month for TIFIA funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s TIGER grant program.

Chapter BY elects officers at March meeting Bettie Miller was elected and installed as the new president of Chapter BY, P.E.O., when they met on March 12 at the GrandstaffHentgen Community Room, with Linda Kuester and Jan Jensen serving as hostesses. Other officers elected and installed were Donna Highley, vice president; Sue Gray, recording secretary; Eileen Dye, corresponding secre-

tary; Kelly Smith, treasurer; Pat Va n l a n d i n g h a m , chaplain; and Nancy Givens, guard. Miller was also elected to be the delegate to the state convention to be held in Indianapolis May 31 through June 2. Martha Pence is to be the alternate. The chapter had planned a social event, which was held on March 24. It was a spring tour of Charley Creek

Gardens. The next regular meeting of Chapter BY will be on April 6 at the home of Janet Leeka. CHAPTER BY, P.E.O., recently elected officers.

Frances Slocum Chapter of DAR holds monthly meeting 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 March 13 in the Blocher Room at the North Manchester Public Library. Joyce Joy read the President General’s message from Merry Ann T. Wright. Wright welcomed members to the second annual issue of the American Spirit magazine devoted to Women’s History Month. Many women’s issues were shared in this publication including women’s musical talents and the 20-volume diary of Sylvia Lewis Tyler, an early 19th century woman who lived in Connecticut and Ohio from 1785 to 1851. The diary concentrates on typical events in Sylvia’s life while illuminating her experiences on the Ohio frontier and revealing family information found nowhere else. Regent Jean Wright told members that the national convention will be held in Washington, DC from June 27 through July 1. Members have until April 15 to make their reservations. She reminded members that the election of chapter officers will be held at the April meeting. Regent Wright asked members to give her the name and contact infor-

mation for any possible guest speaker for the next year, which begins in September. Also, the Chapter will be 100 years old in the fall of 2013 and plans are being made to celebrate this special event. Regent Wright detailed the Women’s Issues topic for the month, which is glaucoma. A good wellness habit is to spend five minutes at the end of each day to write down what you accomplished and after one week, celebrate what you have done. A very interesting and enlightening program was given by Chapter Member Karla Akins. Akins is a resident of North Manchester. Her latest book entitled “O’Canada! Her Story” was released in the fall of 2011. Akins was asked to write the book for middle school children so that they might understand and study the history and culture of Canada in a way that only stories can through exciting tales of warriors, outlaws, pioneers, inventors and influencers.

While Canada is the second largest nation on the face of our planet, it is, ironically, one of the least covered countries in the world history textbooks. Karla can be contacted through her website at www.KarlaAkins.co m.

Field history should play important role in grower decisions Successfully controlling yield-limiting crop diseases comes down to analyzing field history and making the right management decisions for individual fields, says a Purdue Extension plant pathologist. Once soil-borne crop diseases are present in a field, they rarely disappear. When the right weather conditions present themselves, diseases such as sudden death syndrome, root rot, white mold and seedling blight can substantially decrease crop yields. “Managing diseases starts with knowing what is present in the fields,” Kiersten Wise said. “Growers need to know what diseases have shown up in their fields in the past, and they need to plan for those diseases even if they haven’t seen them in a few years.” Disease development is mostly dictated by environment, planting date and seed variety. Wise said there could be more problems after a very warm, wet winter because soil-borne diseases are there and waiting for the right conditions to flourish. “Soil diseases don’t go away, so growers need to plan to manage them,” she said. “Knowing the field history can help growers choose varieties that

)'("$

are resistant to previous disease pressures.” With soybeans, growers have a few more seed treatment options. But with no treatments to effectively fight sudden death syndrome, Wise said variety selection and planting date are extremely important in fields with a history of this disease. Fields with disease history should be planted as late in the season as possible. Corn growers also have a variety of disease management choices, including hybrid selection and fungicide applications. “Foliar disease organisms won’t be as affected by the mild winter. Instead, they will depend more on the weather during the reproductive stages, probably in July,” Wise said. “At that point, if growers are seeing foliar diseases, they can consider fungicide treatments.” Many fungicide purchases have rebates if the orders are placed before the crop is planted. Wise said corn producers should consider a few factors in deciding whether they might need to consider fungicide application. “If farmers are planting into fields with a lot of residue, if they’re planting susceptible varieties and

((%&$!+

(

if their fields are continuous corn, they could possibly benefit from a fungicide later in the season if the environment is favorable for disease development,” she said. Purdue Extension’s Corn and Soybean Field Guide offers more information and helps producers identify crop diseases throughout the growing season. It’s available for $7 in

Purdue Extension’s The Education Store at https://mdc.itap.purdue.edu/item.asp?item ID=20394. Growers who are uncertain about the identification of a disease also can send samples to the Purdue Plant and Pest Diagnostic Laboratory for diagnosis within a few days.

New Surgeon General’s report calls on Hoosiers to reinvigorate programs to protect youth and young adults from tobacco use OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY March 31, 2012 1-3 p.m. Almost 50 years after Hoosier native and former United States Surgeon General Leroy Burney led the landmark 1964 Surgeon General’s report on tobacco, Dr. Regina Benjamin, current United States Surgeon General, released a new report and called on the nation to make the next generation tobacco-free. According to the report, Preventing Tobacco Use Among Youth and young Adults, far too many youth and young adults are using tobacco. In Indiana alone, an estimated 18 percent of high school youth smoke. Each day more than 1,200 Americans die due to smoking. For every one of those deaths, at least two new youth or young

adults under the age of 26 become regular smokers. And 90 percent of these replacement smokers smoke their first cigarette before they turn age 18. “In Indiana, the latest data shows cigar and smokeless tobacco use has remained unchanged despite the declines in cigarette smoking rates,” said Dan Gray, director of Wabash County Tobacco Free C o a l i t i o n . “Unfortunately this is a national trend, as declines in the use of tobacco by youth and young adults across the country mirror Indiana.” The comprehensive report provides further scientific evidence on young people’s sensitivity to nicotine. The younger they are when they start using tobacco, the more likely they are to get addicted and the more heavily addicted they will become. Nicotine addiction will cause about three out of four teens to smoke into adulthood, even if they intend to quit after a few years. The report finds that tobacco marketing is a key factor in causing young people to start using tobacco, and nicotine addiction keeps them using it. In fact, more than $307 million per year is spent on marketing tobacco products in Indiana, and 99 per-

cent of all new smokers come from youth and young adult populations who are enticed to smoke by this marketing. The more young people are exposed to cigarette advertising and promotional activities, the more likely they are to smoke. Images in tobacco marketing make tobacco use look appealing to young people, who want to fit in with their peers. Kids and teens see smoking in their social circles, movies they watch, video games they play, web sites they visit, and many communities where they live. Smoking is often portrayed as a normal, acceptable, even appealing activity; young people exposed to these images are more likely to smoke. And in 2010, nearly a third of top-grossing movies for children – those with G, PG, or PG-13 ratings – contained images of tobacco use. The report concludes that smoking in movies causes youth to start smoking. “Even though the tobacco industry says it’s not targeting us, we see their products everywhere. They’re still manipulating us into trying their deadly products,” said Nicole Hicks, Youth P r o g r a m s Coordinator of Wabash County Tobacco Free

Coalition. While the long-term health effects of tobacco use are wellknown, this report concludes that smoking early in life has substantial health risks that begin almost immediately – even for youth and young adults. For heart disease, physicians see early damage in most young smokers and those most sensitive die very young. Smoking during youth and adolescence slows down lung growth. Teens who smoke are not only short of breath today – they may end up as adults with lungs that never reach their full capacity. That damage is permanent. “The evidence in the new Surgeon General’s report clearly demonstrates the need for intensified and sustained efforts to prevent our young people from using tobacco,” said Miranda Spitznagle, director of Tobacco Prevention and C e s s a t i o n Commission. “We know what works: comprehensive efforts that include mass media campaigns, 100 percent smoke-free laws in restaurants, bars and worksites, high cigarette prices, evidencebased school programs, and sustained community-wide efforts. We must

redouble our efforts to protect the young people in Indiana.” Indiana has had success against the tobacco industry, such as: Smoking among adults is a historic low of 21 percent in 2010, a decrease from 27 percent in 2001. Youth smoking has declined from 32 percent in 2000 to 18 percent in 2011. These declines in smoking mean there are 258,000 fewer Hoosier smokers. Ten years ago, Indiana youth created VOICE, which is a movement against the marketing of the tobacco industry. This report reminds youth across Indiana they must keep up their efforts to prevent the tobacco companies from making their generation replacement smokers. “If Indiana full funded its tobacco control program and adopted the strategies outlined in the report, youth smoking rates could decline by half in six years,” said Dan Gray. “Most importantly, we would greatly reduce the staggering toll tobacco takes on our families and communities.” For more information on Wabash tobacco control activities, please email tobaccofreewabash@hotmail.com or call 260274-2920.

Cost of producing an acre of corn increases Based on a study of more than 600 onfarm records, the cost to produce an acre of corn in Central Illinois for 2012 is pegged at $832 an acre. The Landowner newsletter says the study, conducted by

the University of Illinois’ Dwight Raab found variable costs to produce the 2012 crop are estimated at $386/acre and 3.5% increase over 2011. Nitrogen and dry fertilizer account for the majority of that increase.

Total Non-land costs are estimated at $587/acre, an increase of just over 4 percent for 2011. The greatest of those increases found in storage costs and machinery depreciation.

LAWN & GARDEN John Deere STX riding lawn mower w/38” in cut, yard cart, misc., yard tools.
