Community leaders, Ivy Tech officials meet to discuss possibility of new Wabash campus by Danielle Swan DSmith@thepaperofwabash.com

On March 5, leaders of Ivy Tech Community College met with a group of community members to discuss options regarding the possibility of a new facility for the Wabash Ivy Tech campus. The meeting, hosted by Richard Ford, was attended by Stephen Allen, executive director of Wabash Marketplace; Dave Dorais, Dorais Chevy, Buick, GMC; Bill Konyha, president and CEO of Economic Development Group of Wabash County; Marsh Davis, president of Indiana Landmarks; Mayor Robert Vanlandingham; and several others. The primary purpose for the meeting was to apprise the Ivy Tech officials of the option of locating the new campus in Historic Downtown Wabash. Parker Beauchamp, president

of Wabash Marketplace, worked to dispel any concerns the officials may have. “There is almost 30 to 40 percent more passers-by in the Downtown area as there are on U.S. 24,” he said. “We have found spaces Downtown that could potentially hold 800 to 1,200 vehicles.” He also mentioned that he felt public support of a Downtown project would be greater than that of a project on U.S. 24, which translates into financial support. Some of the main issues with the current location at 277 N. Thorne St., Wabash, are parking and a need for a new testing center. In addition to solving these issues, a new location would provide expanded opportunities for classes and programming. “A lot of our current students are traveling to other regions for classes that they

can’t get at Wabash,” said Pam Guthrie, dean of the Wabash campus. “I’m really concerned about our students because I think with gas prices going up, it’s going to become even more difficult for them to finish up their degrees.” More than likely, a new campus would also result in growth of Wabash Ivy Tech’s enrollment. One Ivy Tech official referenced the new Logansport facility, whose enrollment jumped from 600 to 1,400 after their new facility was completed. They also discussed the fact that some fouryear universities are willing to come into the local campuses and allow students to complete an entire four-year degree just minutes from their homes. “Our numbers in Wabash are lower than state levels in (continued on page 6)

After 29 years in the insurance business and 15 years with American Family Insurance, Lynn Huber’s last day before retirement will be April 30. Huber’s insurance career began in August 1981. “I was kind of in between jobs at that time and I saw Bob Elrod, Farm Bureau manager, out at the fair,” Huber recalls. “He walked up to me and asked if I’d be interested in selling insurance, I never thought it would last this long.” During his career, Huber has worked for Farm Bureau, Nationwide, Wabash Insurance and finally, American Family. “We’ve had a lot of success with American Family. We have been JD Powers Award winners for five straight years,” he said. In addition to the JD Powers Award, Huber’s agency has received numerous other awards for being number one in the state in various areas. While working in the insurance industry, Huber has experienced a continuously changing business landscape. “Computers really didn’t start coming into the insurance industry until ’91, ’92 and ’93,” Huber said. “At one of the agencies I worked with, we had a Tandy 1000. The watch I’m wearing today has more memory than that old Tandy 1000. We would get all of our updates and manuals on these floppy disks and we just had boxes and boxes of those things. “When I first started with Farm Bureau, everything had to be mailed in –

claims, auto applications, property policies – they all had to be mailed to Indianapolis. Unfortunately, there were always some surprises. Someone would tell you they had no accidents or speeding tickets so you write the policy, you send it in and you find out two weeks later that it’s been rejected.” During these changes, Huber says American Family has strived to maintain a high level of customer service, which Huber’s agency has excelled at. In fact, Huber considers his personal contact with clients to be one of the main highlights of his career. “We have a lot of nice, nice people insured here and it really goes beyond knowing what cars they have or if they have homeowners’ insurance or life insurance,” he said. “We have found that, over the years, somebody will sit down and before long you’re talking about their kids or their grandkids. It’s just getting to know the people and becoming familiar with them and being on a firstname basis with them. It’s not like calling an 800 number.” Another highlight for Huber has been several company trips that he qualified for as a result of his hard work. “We have gone every place from Hawaii to Florida to Arizona and it’s all just for doing your job. You get rewarded for doing your job,” he said. During retirement, Huber and his wife, Karen, a retired teacher, plan to continue this traveling. “We’re going to take off for awhile

and leave the cell phone at home. When you’re strapped down to an agency, it’s like any other business. It’s just an enormous amount of responsibility and we’ve gotten away for a week or so on company trips, but that’s going to change real shortly. My standing orders will be: if it’s not broken, bleeding or on fire, don’t call us,” he joked. On April 30, Huber will hand over the reigns to Tim and Mellanie Geerling, and while he looks forward to being relieved of the responsibility of the agency, he will still be in the picture. “My wife and I are going to come back as part-time CSRs with Tim. We’re going to stick around with Tim for a year or two and continue just keeping our hands in the business. It’s tough to walk away from it, but I’m looking forward to a little less stress and strain,” he said. Huber feels that the agency will continue to do well in the hands of the Geerlings. “Melanie has been with me now going on seven years and Tim will have my experience and my wife’s to back him up. They are very good, talented people,” he said. “It’s been a good run, it’s been a successful run, and I’m glad we’re in a situation where we can pass this on to Tim. “I think Bobby Knight is the one that said ‘Go out a winner’, and I feel that, after all these years, it’s been a good career and it’s time to give it over to the younger legs and the younger people.

Signs shares political concerns Dear editor, The headline story in the Wabash Plain Dealer, “U.S. to stay in Afghanistan”, is the reason for this question: Why? The British and the Russians gave up the war in that hostile environment. The United States has been eight years with the same bitter end in sight. Representative democracy is almost impossible to be creat-

ed, in a thousandyear-old Moslem tribal culture. The enemy wears no uniform, disregards the rules of war, knows the country, it is their homeland. They have fought with each other for centuries, and unite to fight any outside force. Far too much blood and treasure have been invested in this war. The brave men

and women in the armed forces must fight with one eye on the enemy and look out for lawsuits and fear of trials for some new rule is in place. The latest example of this mad conflict is the Koran Disposal. President Obama apologized to President Karzai, look at the result! Servicemen murdered, riots, threats of

trials by Afghans of those U.S. Military responsible for the burning of religious material. If the United States cannot keep the border with Mexico secure, why are we still waging a war with no clear objective and no end in sight? Charles Signs North Manchester

Chapter BY met Feb. 13 AT THORNE INSURANCE AGENCY, INC., one Top Sales Producer Award is given out each year over all Thorne Insurance locations. This award is earned by being the top sales producer within the company for standard written property and casualty business for that year. David B. Callahan excelled in 2011 in new written business and earned the award. Callahan is a co-anchor/manager for both Wabash office locations. This is a very hard award to win, and it takes many hours outside of the office both working and networking with people to accomplish sales at this higher level. Kevin Killen, owner of Thorne Insurance, said, “I am very proud of David and the work ethic he has portrayed to win this award. There are not many insurance agents out there that will go the extra mile for the customer like he will. He is an excellent independent insurance agent!” (photo provided)

C o u n t y Commissioners supply funds to support the expenses of providing this free service to residents of Wabash County. The top five needs reported by callers in 2011 are as follows: 1) Housing Support (utility assistance, rent assistance, homeless calls, subsidized housing); 2) Food; 3) Income support (tax preparation programs, state insurance programs, child care support); 4) Individual, Family and Community Support (case management, holiday, children/adult protective services) and; 5) Health Care (medical and dental care, prescription assistance, immunizations). “2-1-1 is a help desk for our county’s social service agencies,” said Deborah VanMeter, executive director of Wabash County United

Fund. “For example, calls to 2-1-1 essentially screen and assess the immediate need. As a result, the 2-1-1 service can direct callers where they need to go and help determine what services they qualify for. That way, our agencies can put all the energy into providing the services that help the caller.” “In 2011, 2-1-1 put more priority on Housing and Homelessness support,” said Tiffany Bailey, director of the 2-1-1 Call Center. “Our Call Specialists do thousands of assessments for local residents in need of housing support, and they follow up to help ensure residents can find long-term shelter.” United Way of Allen County operates the Northeast Indiana 2-1-1 Call Center, which provides service to the following 10 Indiana counties: Adams,

Started when the community pool had to close in April of 2008, a group of volunteers worked to assess the need for a new facility, design the building, and conduct a fundraising campaign to construct a new aquatic and fitness center totally with private donations. Two major donors, the Don and Billie Strauss family

and the Mary K. Peabody Foundation, provided support for the bulk of the construction costs and the building is named in their honor. The lobby of the center will be open at 2 p.m. for socializing and a punch and cookie reception featuring live musical entertainment. At 2:30, the program will begin in the pool area. Both the reception and the program are open to the public. The program will closely follow the dedication ceremony of the original community pool in 1968. It will begin with an

donors, county farmers are encouraged to donate crops through the program. Tax benefits of donating crops include a possible reduction in federal income tax as well as self-employment social security taxes. “We are striving to increase crop donations among our farming community and increase awareness of the tax benefits. Farmers may donate crops through POET, Louis Dreyfus in Claypool or any Wabash County elevator. They simply ask the buyer to arrange a portion of their crop as a donation to Harvest for Health in their name,” said Susan Floor, Harvest for Health chair.

Community Foundation of Wabash County announces strategic plan and new executive director

The Community Foundation of Wabash County (CFWC) recently announced a preliminary report of its strategic plan. According to Bonnie Ingraham, 2011 board president, strategic planning at the board level has been motivated by several factors. In November, the Lilly Endowment required the Foundation to submit a “look back” report regarding the impact of the Sustaining R e s o u r c e Development, (SRD) grant, which the CFWC received in 2005 and completed in 2009. The Endowment asked the CFWC to consider the longterm effectiveness of asset development strategies initiated by the SRD grant. Secondly, a strategic plan is required in order to be found in compliance with the Council on Foundations National Standards for U.S. C o m m u n i t y Foundations. The Standards audit requires submission of copious documents, including policies and strategic and operational narratives that demonstrate compliance to 41 standards of excellence across six critical areas of community foundation operations. Foundations are required to reconfirm their compliance every five years. The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County was last found in compliance in November 2007. And finally, the planning sessions were motivated by considerable changes in CFWC leadership and staff over the last several years. Says Ingraham,

“the board is very committed to moving forward and to analyzing how to fulfill its mission to serve the county. Since early December, we have engaged in seven facilitated sessions with consultant Mike Stone, of Impact Strategies Inc. The discussions are critical to evaluating how to best utilize our limited grant-making resources, and to analyzing our leadership and staff needs. “ Strategic findings to date include the development of the following position statements regarding asset development, grant making and community leadership. Strategic priorities, performance goals and work plans will be developed from the position statements. In asset development, the Foundation affirms the charitable wishes of individual donors as the basis of its asset development activity. Specific asset development activities of the Foundation will be guided by a set of priorities related to donor categories and fund types. In programming, the Foundation commits to the expansion of its programmatic role by becoming more intentional in identifying and addressing key community needs and opportunities. In leadership, the Foundation commits to an expansion of its community leadership role by integrating its asset development and programmatic capabilities to enhance its community impact. The CFWC Board will continue to develop the plan through mid-summer. Patty Grant has accepted

the position of executive director. “I am pleased to be a part of the staff of the Community Foundation at this time,” says Grant. “I appreciate the very thoughtful deliberations of every board member. Community foundations vary greatly in the relative attention and weight they place on the three components of service — program, development and convening. The planning conversations have afforded serious conversations about how best to serve the county.” Grant contributes over 20 years of community foundation experience. She joined the Foundation board in 1989 and served as chair of development and marketing committees during each of the first four phases of Lilly Endowment’s GIFT (Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow) Initiatives, and as Foundation ED during the last, GIFT phase V. The GIFT Initiatives contributed more than $5 million to endowment assets. Patty lead the creation of Wabash County’s Lilly E n d o w m e n t C o m m u n i t y

eral individuals who made cash donations and knitted scarves. During our eight years of collecting coats, over 2,010 coats have been donated by Wabash County Citizens. Special appreciation goes out to Wabash Poly Clean, who cleaned a large number of the coats, Lola Glazier for her mending skills and to the Youth Service Bureau, who distributed coats, hats, gloves and scarves for us. Also, thanks goes to the Wabash Plain

Feeling like you paid too much in taxes this year?

Dear editor, Where did it go? I ask you, where did it go? Where did common sense go? Gone, but not forgotten. In my over 88 years, I never thought I would see such a divided America with the political leadership in the hands of spoiled and pampered plutocrats blowing hot air. The general population consists of the haves against the have-nots - no middle ground. The country is filled with foreclosed, overpriced real estate. Store prices are going through the roof. They are selling imported merchandise produced by almost slave labor.

This year, evaluate whether you can benefit from: 1. Tax-advantaged investments. If appropriate, consider tax-free municipal bonds to provide federally tax-free income.* 2. Tax-advantaged retirement accounts. Consider contributing to a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or 401(k) to help lower your taxable income. 3. Tax-advantaged college savings accounts. Contribute or gift to a college savings plan for your children or grandchildren.

Dear editor, Hoosiers deserve better than what the Indiana Senate did as it carved away protection from secondhand smoke for thousands of workers, passing a multitude of amendments to House Bill 1149. Healthy workers are the backbone of a healthy economy, and more than 70 percent of them support a smoke-free law that includes all workplaces, bars and restaurants. The Senate battled to protect them. If this bill becomes law as it is written, it would be

one of the weakest in the nation. The bill will be sent back to the House for a vote. Hopefully they will be able to strengthen it before it becomes law. We cannot give up yet. It is important that we keep in touch with our legislators to let them know how important it is to have a comprehensive law in order to keep all Hoosiers safe and healthy. Why do some Hoosiers deserve to be protected and others don’t? Daniel Gray Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition Directora

Rubbing out a finish brings a richness and smoothness to the piece that begs to be touched. The next meeting will be hosted by Chris Fox. He has been involved in wood working for 25 years.

Americans have a healthy appetite for new televisions, computers, cell phones and other electronic g a d g e t s . Subsequently, it’s likely that an old or obsolete item or two is collecting dust somewhere in your basement or garage. Some unwanted electronics even find their final resting place in the garbage. In early 2011, an Indiana state law (Indiana Code 13-20.5) went into effect prohibiting the disposal of unwanted electronics with municipal waste that is intended for disposal at a landfill or intended for disposal by burning or incineration. To help the citizens of Wabash comply with this eco-conscious legislation, Indianapolis-based RecycleForce will collect outdated and broken-down electronics on March 10th, in the parking lot of the Big

R from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The not-for-profit recycler will also collect non-electronic recyclables at the event. For a full list of accepted items, visit recycleforce.org. In addition to recycling collection, RecycleForce provides life-changing workforce training to formerly incarcerated individuals. The social enterprise recycles the materials and disposes of the waste safely and cleanly. The scrap metals and other reusable materials collected in this process are sold to help pay for job training programs and employment opportunities for formerly incarcerated men and women in order to support their re-entry back into society. Residents of Wabash can help these individuals by donating their unwanted electronics and other recyclables.

Northfield tops Lewis Cass for sectional title

by Gary Andrews After the nail biter against Oak Hill on March 2 some wondered how Northfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs would stand up against a very athletic Lewis Cass team Saturday. Northfield got off to a great start, scoring the first seven points of the game. Ryan Keaffaber and Ryan Givens hit layups, followed by a Collin Dawes three pointer to get the Norse up and running. Cass would cut the lead to 7-3 before Chad Glasscock hit two free throws to go up 9-3. Cass would score the last points of the quarter on an Austin Keisling three as Northfield led 9-6 after one. The pace would pick up in the second quarter. Dustin Echard hit to put the Norse up 11-6 before the Kings came climb-

ing back. Cass scored the next five points to tie the score at 11. Ryan Keaffaber put the Norse back up with two free throws and was followed by a Glasscock layup to go back up 15-11. Cass would come back and briefly take a 16-15 lead before Givens gave the Norse the lead again. Tied at 22, Cass hit a free throw with .15 seconds left before Collin Dawes matched it with nine seconds remaining and the score was where it was when the game started, tied. With one half to go it was 23-23. The lead would change six times in the first four minutes of the third quarter before Cass opened the lead to three points at 32-29 with 3:55 to go. After a Glasscock layup and an Echard free throw the Norse knotted the score at 32 with 1:54 to

go. Keisling gave the Kings the lead back with 1:31 to go,. Echard tied the game with two free throws with 1:14 left. Keisling again would put the Kings up, which would be the third quarter ending score with Cass leading 3634 and one to go. Down by two with a quarter to go, the Norse had Cass right where they wanted them. Doing what coach Smedley said, playing old school basketball, the Norse kept their composure and buckled their seat belts for the race to the finish. Ryan Givens hit a free throw and then 20 seconds later a layup to give the Norse a 37-36 lead with 6:05 to go. Cass would take one more lead at 38-37 with 4:51 to go when Northfield took over. Dustin Echard banked home a layup, followed by a Collin

After a Cass missed shot the Kings would decide to put the Norse on the line. With 2:05 left

Echard sank two free throws to go up 44-38 and then with 1:34 left Glasscock drained two more and Northfield was in command 46-38. Cass would make a

small push, getting it to 46-41 when Echard calmly sank two more free throws with .52 left. The Norse would finish the game with free throws. Dawes hit one, Keaffaber two,

and Givens one to lead 52-41 with 4 seconds remaining. Cass scored at the buzzer, but the Norse had won the sectional 5243.

Manchester fifth grade wins Marion Invite On March 3, the fifth grade Manchester Squires won the Marion Invitational and in the process, won their third tournament title of the year and raised their season record to 16-5. In pool play, Manchester defeated Madison-Grant 33-26 and lost to Marion 37-24. In the opener against MG, jumped out to a 17-9 halftime lead and cruised to the win. Brayden Casper led the Squires in scoring with 10 points and added three rebounds, three assists, and three steals. Kamdyn Lester scored 8 points, and Ethan Davis and Logan Isbell had 4 points

each. Davis also had a team high 7 rebounds. In game two of pool play, the Squires ran into a very quick and athletic Marion team and lost 37-24. Davis led Manchester with 15 points and six rebounds. Casper added four. Manchester advanced to tourney play as a No. 2 seed. In the opener, the Squires bested Tipp Valley 40-18. Casper led the way with 13 points. Konrad Borgmann had 8 points, Kaleb Fluke had 6, and Lester had 5. Logan Isbell recorded 4 steals. Manchester then played Southwood and came out on top in a defensive strug-

gle 17-15 to advance to the championship game. Davis led the way with 6 points, Fluke had 4, and Parrett had a team best 7 rebounds. In the finals, the Squires faced a rematch against a good Marion team. Marion hit a three at the buzzer heading into halftime and led 23-16. They increased their lead throughout the first six minutes of the second half and led 34-21. Manchester then proceeded to go on a 18-2 run to end the game for a 39-36 win. With under a minute left in the game and the Squires trailing by a point, Kamdyn Lester and Brayden Casper each hit a

pair of free throws to give MHS the lead. The Squires then held on for the win with a strong defensive effort. Casper led the team with 15 points, including a perfect 77 from the free throw line, six of which came in the final six minutes of the game. Davis scored 10 points, Parrett had six, and Fluke added 4. Manchester has now won the Wabash County Tourney, the Madison Grant Tourney, and now the Marion Tourney. Team members are Brayden Casper, Kaleb Fluke, Kamdyn Lester, Ethan Davis, Logan Isbell, Konrad Borgmann, Mathias M c L a u g h l i n ,

Jackson Mathias, Logan Parrett, and

Feral / wild hogs found near Middlebury It could be the mildest

Indiana conservation officers are investigating a report of two feral hogs that were near U.S. 20 and CR 12 in Middlebury, Elkhart County. According to witness, at approximately 5:15 p.m. a woman came home to find that there was a pig in her yard. As she went to enter her house, the pig came towards her. She contacted her brother who arrived and found that there were in fact two feral hogs with approximately three-inch tusks and looked very shaggy. The brother contacted Indiana Conservation Officer Seth Owens and was advised that feral hogs were nuisance animals and could be destroyed by the landowner or written permission given to destroy the animals. Both feral hogs were destroyed.

Officer Owens would like to comment that this is not a normal situation and more information is available on the DNR website about feral hogs. Further, any sightings of feral hogs should be reported to the DNR. What are wild hogs? “Wild hogs”, also called “wild pigs”, “wild boar” or “feral pigs”, are among the many names that refer to non-native swine and various hybrids that have either been illegally released or were formerly domestic pigs allowed to become feral throughout many states, including Indiana. Wild hogs include domestic hogs that have acclimated to living in a wild or freeroaming environment, were born in the wild, are free-roaming without any visible tags,

markings, or have behavioral characteristics that would indicate a domestic state or private ownership, or have skeletal characteristics indicative of a wild or Eurasian origin as defined in 312 IAC 9-3-18.6. Can a person legally kill a wild hog in Indiana? A landowner, tenant or other person with written permission of the landowner can shoot or trap a wild hog on that landowner’s private property without a permit. Be sure to check local ordinances before using a firearm. If trapped, the hog must be killed at the trap site or euthanized immediately after moving it from the trap site. However, wild hogs cannot be offered for compensation of any kind for hunting or taking purposes and

cannot be released into the wild. A person cannot charge a service fee for shooting, trapping or removing a wild hog from private property unless the person has a nuisance wild animal control permit from the Division of Fish and Wildlife. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, in cooperation with the USDAAPHIS Wildlife Services and the Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH), are working with impacted landowners in providing technical information to control wild hog populations. The IDNR, BOAH, and USDA-APHIS Wildlife Services do not provide information on where to hunt wild hogs in Indiana as part of this cooperative work with landowners.

winter since early 1980s What happened to winter? For many Midwest residents, temperatures in the 30s and 40s - not to mention 50s and 60s are a relief after the past several years of heavy snow, ice storms and brutally cold temperatures. David Call, a Ball State meteorology professor, believes this winter may go in the record books. “Mild conditions are expected to persist into early spring,” Call says. “Indianapolis is currently on track for the warmest winter in a decade and the least snowy winter since the early 1980s, and there’s no significant cold or snow in the forecast.

You might not have heard much about it before this season because it’s usually more variable, plus it’s difficult to predict more than a few days in advance. But because it’s closer to the eastern U.S., it ultimately has a much bigger impact on our weather.”

DNR gives temporary OK to umbrella rigs

Indiana DNR Director Robert E. Carter Jr. has signed a temporary rule that establishes a limit on the number of hooks allowed on a rig or lure array used for sport fishing, essentially making so-called umbrella rigs legal

through the remainder of this year. Until recently, umbrella rigs were a traditional saltwater trolling apparatus used effectively in the northeastern United States to catch striped bass and bluefish, according to Ken Smith’s Fishing

Happy 80th Birthday!!!

Margaret “Benson” Burnworth will celebrate her 80th Birthday with an open house hosted by her children on Saturday March 10th from 3-5 pm at the Dallas Winchester Senior Center at 239 Bond St here in Wabash. Please plan on stopping by and wishing Margaret a Happy Birthday and enjoying some birthday cake and conversation. Margaret's children are: Ken (Chris) Benson, Carol (Don) Sweet, Janie (Clyde) Hayslett and Mary (Paul) Cornett.

Encyclopedia. The rig is an umbrella-shaped frame of multiple wires from which lures or hooks are attached. It is designed to resemble a school of baitfish. Professional bass fisherman Paul Elias triggered a frenzy among freshwater anglers when he used a version of the apparatus, The Alabama Rig, to win an FLW Series national tournament in October. Elias caught a 20-fish limit weighing more than 100 pounds to beat his closest challenger by 17 pounds and earn the tournament’s $100,000 first-place prize. Bass Anglers Sportsmen Society (BASS), the FLW’s rival tour, announced in January that umbrella rigs cannot be used in the Bassmaster Classic or the Bassmaster Elite Series. In the meantime, states have been scrambling to see if umbrella rigs fall inside or outside of their fishing

regulations. Indiana’s existing rules do not adequately describe whether or not umbrella rigs are legal. Indiana Administrative Code 312 IAC 9-7-2 states that “an individual may take fish with not more than three poles, hand lines, or tip-ups at a time...(and) an individual must affix to each line not more than: two hooks, two harnesses for use with live bait, or two artificial baits. The ambiguity with the umbrella rig is whether it should be defined as one lure with many parts or many lures on single line. As DNR officials continue to study the issue, the temporary rule adds a fourth option to the existing regulation that allows “one rig or lure array for use with multiple artificial baits with not more than five hooks.” The temporary rule expires on Jan. 1.

“This gives Hoosier anglers an opportunity to gain first-hand experience with the use and effectiveness, or drawbacks, of how umbrella rigs actually perform,” Carter said. “It also gives the DNR time to gather information on what, if any, future definitions or restrictions need to be considered.” The temporary rule

does not apply to trout and salmon streams that are tributaries of Lake Michigan or to the St. Joseph River downstream of the Twin Branch Dam in Mishawaka. The regulations on those waters continue to be limited to one single hook, one harness for use with live bait, or one artificial lure per line. Single

hooks, including those on artificial baits, must be no larger than 1/2 inch front point to shank. Double and treble hooks on artificial lures may not exceed 3/8 inch from point to shank. All trout and salmon taken in Indiana must be hooked in the mouth (no foul hooking allowed).

Examining bulls for reproductive soundness is important as breeding season approaches, says a Purdue Extension beef specialist. Veterinarians specializing in reproduction typically perform the exams. They evaluate physical soundness, reproductive organs and semen quality and offer beef producers a chance to determine if bulls have any injuries or conditions that might prevent them from breeding cows in the spring. “Virgin bulls are among the most important for producers to have tested because up to 10 percent of those animals could have reproductive issues,” said Ron Lemenager. “Young bulls seem to be more vulnerable to changes in the environment, nutrition and disease that can affect semen quality. A majority of our producers are using relatively young bulls, so it’s important for them to have those animals evaluated.” During the exams, semen quality, volume and motility will be evaluated. The exam provider also will palpate reproductive organs and check for any problems such as swelling, adhesions, hair rings or warts. Young bulls that may not have obtained puberty will be evaluated for reproductive maturity, as well. Lemenager recommends that producers have their bulls evaluated 30-45 days before the start of breeding season since it takes about 60 days to produce viable semen. Any condition that increases body tem-

perature can result in lower semen quality and/or temporary sterility. “Normally we talk about evaluating bulls a month to 45 days before breeding so that if they fail the exam, there is time to re-evaluate them,” he said. “If they fail a second time, producers then have a chance to find a replacement and still get cows bred on time.” Lemenager also said that with the current status of the industry, breeding soundness exams are worth the cost. “With the price of cattle and feeds right now, these exams are very cost-effective,” he said. “We want to get cows bred and calving on time.” Several Purdue Extension county offices will offer bull breeding soundness evaluations in March and April. They are: - Orange County, March 17, contact: 812-723-7101 Washington County, March 21, contact: 812-883-4601 Johnson and Bartholomew counties, April 4, contact: 812-379-1665 - Clark County, March 26, contact: 812-256-4591 - Morgan County, April 10, contact: 765342-1010 - Lawrence County, April 16, contact: 812275-4623 For more location information and to schedule an appointment, call the contacts above. Additional information is available by calling Purdue Extension at 888-EXTINFO (398-4636) or a local veterinarian.
