March for Babies with the March of Dimes May 4

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com This year the March of Dimes will celebrate 75 years of improving the health and lives of babies. The Wabash County annual March for Babies Walk will be held May 4, at Paradise Springs. The walk is approximately four miles. This event is the March of Dimes’ biggest fundraising event. Throughout the U.S., these walks have raised $2.6 billion since 1970. The March of Dimes Foundation was founded in 1938 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the goal of fighting polio, which at the time, was the biggest cause of infant death within their first year. Through research funded by the foundation, vaccines developed by Jonas Salk, MD and Albert Sabin, MD ended the polio epidemic in the United States making the March of Dimes the only organization to cure the disease they set out to fight. These same vaccines are still used today. Over the years, the organization has shifted its mission depending on needs of mothers and their babies. Past accomplishments include newborn screenings, newborn intensive care units, surfactant therapy (helps preemies’ lungs expand), educating mothers about the benefits of folic acids (helps prevent against neural tube defects) and today’s mission of preventing premature births. In Indiana, 11.6 percent (approximately 1 in 8) babies are born premature. That’s two percent higher than the goal. Worldwide, 15 million babies are born too soon each year, and approximately one million die of premature related problems. The March of Dimes current goal is to lower the United State’s preemie rate to 9.6 percent by 2020. “They’re very proactive. They’re trying to prevent problems. They always set goals and try to reach it,” said Pat Vanlandingham, Wabash County Walk for Babies chairman. According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, more babies die from preterm related problems than anything else. A baby is considered premature if they are born three weeks before their due date, or anytime before 37 weeks. The March of Dimes website states, “About half of premature births result from spontaneous preterm labor, the causes of which are unknown.” Although there are still a lot of unanswered questions, they do know that premature birth can lead to a lot of health problems throughout life, and some women are more at risk to go into preterm labor than others. Teenage pregnancies and smoking during pregnancy are two of the most obvious reasons.” “We work to educate mothers on how to have a healthy pregnancy,” said Vanlandingham. “Here in Wabash County, agencies can apply for a grant from the March of Dimes, but we haven’t had a lot of agencies take advantage of that,” she said. A few years ago, Smoke Free Wabash applied and received a grant for literature to give pregnant women to help them learn about not smoking during pregnancy and the dangers of that. To receive a grant, agencies must have (continued on page 5)

WABASH COUNTY’S MARCH OF DIMES has raised over a quarter of a million dollars in their March for Babies walks since 1994. The current local committee is Jane Barlow, Sandy Craft, Dawn Hamm, Tina Carroll, Stacey Bone, Melissa Vaughn, and Pat Vanlandingham as chairman. This year’s walk will be held May 4.

Livestock producers should watch for, control poison hemlock WEST LAFAYETTEWhile poison hemlock isn’t likely to be as prominent a problem this year as it was in last year’s droughtstressed pastures, Purdue Extension specialists still encourage livestock producers to be on the lookout for the toxic plant. Poison hemlock is often found along roadsides, edges of cultivated fields, stream banks and pasture fencerows. Its most defining characteristics are purple spots or blotches on the plant’s hairless, ridged stems. If eaten, all parts of the plant can be fatally toxic to cattle, horses, swine, sheep and goats. “If there is adequate pasture growth, poison hemlock isn’t as big a deal because animals typically won’t eat it unless it’s all they have, but livestock producers still need to be on the lookout for it and think about how to control it,” said Ron Lemenager, Purdue Extension beef specialist. “They also need to be especially cautious when making hay.” Control methods are most effective when

no ordinary love, no ordinary jewelry.

POISON HEMLOCK is toxic when ingested by livestock. Purdue Extension experts urge producers to monitor their pastures and kill the weeds as early in the life cycle as possible. (Purdue Agriculture photo/Travis Legleiter) applied at an early plant growth stage, said Travis Legleiter, Purdue Extension weed scientist. “Farmers need to look for it before it’s bolted, or flowered, when it’s low-growing,” he said. Poison hemlock has a two-year life cycle, and herbicides work best when applied early in the first year of growth, when plants are newly emerged. The most common herbicides used to control the weed in pastures are growth regulators, such as 2,4-D, dicamba or a combination of 2,4-D and tryclopyr, said Bill Johnson, Purdue Extension weed scientist. “What producers have to remember is that most pastures are mixes of grasses and legumes and these pesticides will damage

legumes,” he said. “Most of the time we have to sacrifice the legumes to control the poison hemlock, then come back and reseed the legumes.” Animals that ingest poison hemlock will start to show symptoms within an hour. Symptoms start with nervousness and can progress to respiratory paralysis within two to three hours. If pregnant animals consume the plant between days 55-75 of gestation it could result in birth defects. Treatment is available for poisoned animals, but requires a veterinarian and that the animal be treated immediately. Poison hemlock also can be found in agronomic crop fields but is more of a nuisance than anything, Johnson said. “Poison hemlock

invades no-till corn and soybean fields,” he said. “Herbicides that have activity on this weed and that can be used before planting soybeans are 2,4-D, dicamba and glyphosate. Dicamba and glyphosate have shown slightly better efficacy than 2,4-D. The best overall control in an early spring burndown would likely be attained with a mixture of glyphosate and dicamba.” More information about this toxic weed in both pastures and crop fields can be found in the Purdue Extension Weed Science publication “Poison Hemlock - The Toxic Parsnip,” which is available for free download at http://www.btny.purdue.edu/weedscience/2003/articles/PHemlock03.pdf

Wabash County Quilt Trail begins Small Business Counseling Available On Sunday, April 28, one of the first Barn Quilts to be part of the Wabash County Quilt Trail was installed at the farm of Phil and Robin Dale. The Dale farm is located at 2575 W 700 N. in Wabash County. The barn quilt can be seen very easily from 300 W., just north of Highway 16 and can also be seen while traveling east on Highway 16. Phil’s grandparents, Lewis and Mable Dale owned the farm from 1941 until 1963. Then in 1985 Phil was able to purchase the farm and bring it back into the Dale family. The barn the quilt was hung on is over 100 years old. Brothers, Kurt and Kent Mullett who are owners of Barn Quilts of Wabash County, made the quilt for the Dale’s. Kurt would like to express his appreciation to both Phil and Robin for choosing Barn Quilts of Wabash County as the ones to make their Barn Quilt. “We are extremely excited to have made this quilt for Phil and Robin, we hope they enjoy their Barn Quilt of Wabash County for many years to come. The colors they chose for their Barn Quilt look absolutely beautiful against their 100 year

THE BARN QUILT AT DALE’S FARM is just the first of many that will be added to the Wabash County Quilt Trail. Dale’s Farm is located at 2565 W 700 N in Wabash. Kurt and Kent Mullet, who are owners of Barn Quilts of Wabash, crafted the quilt. old barn”. Once the quilt was hung, Robin was asked what she thought about it. “I absolutely love it, it looks perfect on our barn and I can’t wait to see the sun shining on it, I just love it!” The Dale’s would like to personally extend a big thank you to their neighbor, Gary Friermood, who played a big part in the installation of the Barn Quilt. “I would of never been able to hang this Barn Quilt without Gary’s help” said Phil. “So thank you Gary!” With the installation of this barn quilt and with quite a few more being made

right now and soon to be installed. Both the Dales’ and Mullett brothers hope that they have played a small part in a new tradition for Wabash County. One that will not only give the residents of our county great enjoyment, but will also help in attracting visitors to

Wabash County to experience the beauty of the barn quilts and also the beauty and history that our great county has to offer. If you are interested in being part of the Wabash County Quilt Trail. Please contact Mr. Cameron Huffman at 765-8339231.

Sen. Banks’ Veterans Tuition Bill moves to Governor’s desk S TAT E H O U S E (April 23, 2013) — Military veterans would have access to more affordable college education under legislation authored by State Sen. Jim Banks (R-Columbia City). A final version

of Senate Bill 177 passed both the Senate and House of Representatives today and now moves to the governor’s desk for signature into law. SB 177 grants instate tuition eligibility to honorably dis-

charged veterans and active National Guard members who enroll in one of Indiana’s state colleges within a year of settling in Indiana. Currently, veterans serving in a different state or country may not qualify for in-state

tuition upon returning home, increasing their college costs by thousands of dollars. “With this legislation, Indiana has an opportunity to make significant strides in helping veterans earn their college degrees,” Banks said. “A recent Indiana University study showed that 18 percent of Hoosier veterans have at least a bachelor’s degree, which is below the national average of 26 percent. Expanding instate tuition eligibility could help bridge that gap by easing veterans’ financial burden and improving their access to higher education.” To be eligible, veterans are required to enroll in a state college or university no later than 12 months after their discharge or separation from the armed forces. They will then have to take steps to establish Indiana residency within 12 months of enrollment. Rep. Jim Baird (RGreencastle) is the bill’s sponsor in the House of Representatives.

March for Babies... continued from front page

a mission that complies with the March of Dimes, and they have to clearly state exactly how the money will be used. “An easy way to remember how to March of Dimes uses their money is the word CARE (Community, advocate, research, educate),” said Vanlandingham “We work in communities to promote awareness. Advocate for mothers and babies. Fund research and educate mothers on how to have healthy pregnancies and babies,” she said. In 2011, the foundation invested $31 million in research that studies premature birth, birth defects

and infant mortality, and for the fourth consecutive year, premature birth rates dropped. The foundation is carefully watching pending legislation that would provide more government resources for prematurity research. According to the March of Dimes website, the PREEMIE Reauthorization Act, if enacted, “would authorize enhanced research, education and intervention activities aimed at improving pregnancy outcomes.” In Wabash County, a quarter of a million dollars has been raised since 1994. “Wabash County has always been really

supportive in our walks over the years. There were some years where we raised over $20,000, but as the economy fell off and other problems came, that’s gone down,” said Vanlandingham. Along with the March for Babies Walk, this year, the Wabash County team also hosted a Zumbathon April 26 at the YMCA. Four instructors donated their time and local artists and businesses donated prizes to be raffled off. The committee also put together a Pamper Yourself Package worth over $190 to be raffled at the end of the event. Another event, May 8, is the Wonder Walk, for Sharp Creek and

Metro North students. The children will try to raise money, and if they get $25, they will receive a t-shirt. After school they will go on a mini walk. If they walk around three times, they will collect three items in a goodie bag. “This is our first year for the Wonder Walk, so we are really excited about that,” said Vanlandingham. The annual March for Babies Walk will begin at 9 a.m. May 4. Registration starts at 8 a.m. There will be breakfast before the walk, and there will be more food after as well as prizes and awards. Vanlandingham is hoping for at least 100 walkers this year.

Wabash High School... continued from front page things they do when working accidents is also the saddest. In this part of the scenario, Hall explained why McDonald had received no attention up until this point. McDonald was portraying a teen that died at the scene of the accident. To give the true effect, McDonald was left laying on the ground until the other students had been tended to. Once the other students were on their way, the teams tended to McDonald. They placed McDonald into a body bag and wheeled him to a second ambulance. After the participating students were taken away, the rest of the student body went back to the school to take part in a convocation where they talked about the consequences of drinking and driving and texting and driving. This is the fourth time that these teams have portrayed a drunk driving accident before prom for high school students. “Kenny Combs at North Side Wrecker gives us these cars for free to use,” said Hall. Cindy McDonald, a flight nurse with the Samaritan helicopter, added that every part of the demonstration is free to the school. With prom schedules differing so much, it isn’t always easy to schedule a time that works well for all the schools, so this year, Wabash High School was the

only school in attendance. “The ultimate

goal is to have at least all three county

“It costs about $25 per walker, so we would like each walker to raise at least that much, but we won’t turn a walker away for not having it,” said Vanlandingham, who has been walking since the early 1990s and been the chairman since the late 1990s. “I worked at Wabash Alloys for years, and one of the gals saw an article in the paper that had a picture of the walk. She said it looks like something fun that we could do together as a team,” said Vanlandingham. We got together that year, and I was hooked,” she said. “The longer you do it, the more premature babies you meet, and you get even more hooked. Every single one of them that I’ve met, they’re really outgoing. They just have a spirit about them that’s hard to describe, but I’m sure it has something to do with their struggle. They’re amazing kids.”

The Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Inc. (CVB) would like to invite the public to attend an open house celebrating the grand opening of the new Welcome Center and Gift Shop located at 221 S. Miami St, Wabash. The event is scheduled for Friday, May 3 from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. in conjunction with the First Fridays event in downtown Wabash. A ribbon cutting ceremony, hosted jointly by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce and the North Manchester Chamber of

Commerce, will take place at noon. In February, the organization moved from the Wabash County Historical Museum from which the CVB had rented 336 square feet of office space for nearly ten years. The new Welcome Center and Gift Shop totals 2,500 square feet of retail and meeting space. In the 1880s the building was once owned by Linley A. Dawes and operated as the L. A. Dawes Livery Sale and Boarding Stable; a stable where horses, teams and wagons were for hire, but also

where privately-owned horses could be boarded for a short time. The renovated downtown storefront showcases some of the building’s historic architectural features which include two interior archways measuring 7’ X 8’ that connected the livery office to the stable, an exposed brick wall and original hardwood floors. The current floor plan includes a retail sales floor, kitchenette, welcome desk, handicap accessible restroom, private office and conference room. Along with Wabash

Angie Delauter as the lead interior designer. The property is owned by Michael and Angie Beauchamp of Conflux and Confluence, Inc. both worked closely with New, Delauter and Flohr to see the project through until completion. “The Board’s goal was to invest in a Welcome Center that complimented the quality businesses and attractions that are found throughout Wabash County,” stated Beth Driscoll, board president for the CVB. “For some guests, the welcome center serves as their first experience in our community and we want that impression to be a positive and lasting one. The reaction we see from first time visitors (to the Welcome Center) is of utter amazement. The entire CVB board and staff are grateful to Michael and Angie (Beauchamp) for their support and vision.”

Huntington University board approval moves Peoria campus forward The Huntington University Board of Trustees has approved the proposal to create a Peoria, Ariz., campus for the institution. With a May vote from the Peoria City Council, the campus could open as early as spring of 2014. In October, the university entered into a 180-day exclusive negotiating agreement with the City of Peoria to begin talks of what a potential branch campus could mean for both entities. In that time, university administrators have met with city officials to determine location, programs and funding sources. The campus would feature programs such as digital media arts, exercise science, nursing, ministry and missions, education and counseling psychology. Two other institutions, Trine

University of Angola, Ind., and St. Scholastica College of Duluth, Minn., are also planning to offer degree programs in Peoria. Each university will offer different academic majors to students based on its unique institutional strengths. The Huntington campus will look to attract students who are seeking a Christcentered, professionally sound and community-connected education. The campus will also offer the opportunity for Huntington, Ind.based students to study in Arizona for full semesters or for shorter-term classes. “This is an exciting opportunity to expand our mission into the growing and u n d e r s e r v e d Southwest,” said President G. Blair Dowden. “Through this great initiative, we will be able to pro-

vide a Christ-centered, liberal arts education to more students than ever before.” The City of Peoria will vote on the potential campus at its May 7 council meeting. H u n t i n g t o n University is a comprehensive Christian college of the liberal arts offering graduate and undergraduate programs in more than 70 academic concentrations. U.S.

News and World Report ranks Huntington among the best colleges in the Midwest, and Forbes.com has listed the university as one of America’s Best C o l l e g e s . A d d i t i o n a l l y, Princeton Review has named the institution to its “Best in the Midwest” list. Founded in 1897 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, Huntington

Fort Wayne man ordered to repay $2.2 million to investors defrauded in a Ponzi scheme

Investigation by Secretary of State Connie Lawson’s office led to the conviction

INDIANAPOLIS— On April 26, Bradley Collins, Fort Wayne was ordered to repay investors $2.2 million after pleading guilty to selling

unregistered investments in a Ponzi scheme. Charges were filed against Collins after an investigation by Secretary of State Connie Lawson’s P r o s e c u t i o n Assistance Unit uncovered he used his shared Christian beliefs to swindle Hoosiers out of an

excess of $30 million. “Collins worked under the guise of a religious man and told his victims he only worked with God-fearing, church going people and was blessed to be blessing potential investors,” said Secretary of State Connie Lawson. “His portrayal of a Christian man put many of his victims at ease, increasing the amount of funds they invested. “Today’s sentencing sends yet another message that Indiana is not a place for white collar crime such as affinity fraud. I commend local law enforcement officials, the office of Allen County Prosecutor Karen Richards and our Securities Division for their hard work in protecting Hoosiers from scam artist such as Mr. Collins.” To date, 129 victims have been identified with 59 residing in Allen County. Almost all of Collins victims report he

claimed to be a good Christian man and preyed on their religious beliefs. In some cases, he even dressed as a pastor to draw victims into the scam. Collins was sentenced to eight years. He will serve two at Allen County C o m m u n i t y Corrections Work Release. If successfully completed, he will serve the remaining six years of his term on probation. Per the Plea Agreement, Mr. Collins agreed to plead guilty to the sale of unregistered securities. Also as part of the Plea Agreement, Mr. Collins has agreed to testify in a federal criminal action involving an alleged conspirator in the state of Michigan. Steve Hash investigated this case on behalf of the Indiana Secretary of State’s office and worked with Allen County Deputy Prosecutor Tim McCaully.

A mother and daughter shared graduation Saturday, April 27, at Indiana Wesleyan University. Among the thousands of graduates who graduated at IWU Saturday, two generations within a family had the opportunity to share the ceremony. Tamera K Mosier, Wabash, graduated Magna Cum Laude from the School of Science with a Business Administration Bachelor Degree while her daughter Jennifer A. Brooks, LaFontaine, graduated also with honors, from the School of Science with an Associate Degree in Business Administration. Tamera is the daughter and Jennifer, the granddaughter, of Ralph and Rosemary Heiser, LaFontaine. Jennifer is also the daughter of Paul D. Brooks, Wabash and granddaughter of Pat and Joseph Brooks, Wabash. All attended the ceremony along with Jennifer’s children making the day a four-generation event. The daughter plans to continue with a Business Accounting degree and the mother is also continuing with her Masters in Organizational Leadership with a goal of university teaching. Both have re-enrolled at Indiana Wesleyan University as part of its LEAP program for adults. “Attending IWU while working has been a challenge but also blessing”, stated Tamera.

Muskies showing up in Maumee River

DNR officials are getting reports from anglers that muskies are occasionally being caught in the Maumee River below the Hosey Dam in Fort Wayne. The largest to date was caught in early April, measured 42.5 inches long and weighed 28 pounds. Biologists are unsure where the muskies are coming from—none are stocked directly into the river. Muskies have been stocked in Allen County’s Lake Everett each year since 2010, but its outlet drains to the Eel River, not the Maumee. Likewise, a check with Ohio DNR biologists confirmed that no muskies are stocked in the Maumee watershed within the Buckeye state. Right now, the best guess is they came downstream via the St. Joe River from Ball Lake in Steuben County. Muskies were stocked there annually until 2009.

THE ROANN COVERED BRIDGE Clean-up Committee is inviting the community to gather their garden tools and weed trimmers, and meet them at the bridge on May 18, for their first work day of the season. It is time to do some spring cleaning at the covered bridge. The committee has a plan for planting, and last year began that plan, encouraging the wildflowers already growing there. This year, they have a plan for the parking area, but they need man and woman power. They are also in need of a tractor and bush hog. The committee is reminding the community that service work makes one feel good about making Roann prettier for visitors. Visitors help the Roann economy. The committee invites you to mark your calendars for May 18, and meet them at the bridge! THE ROANN UNITED Methodist Women met on April 10, in the home of Kathie Grandstaff. Gina Cussen served as Hostess. The church women were thanked for hosting the Roann Community Sunrise Breakfast and a special thanks to Kay White and Colleen Hollenback for the beautiful decorations.

Norse winning streak continues by Gary Andrews The Northfield varsity baseball team kept their winning streak alive at nine, improving to 10-2 with a 13-7 win over Maconaquah Friday. Andy Roser earned his third win, doubled and homered. Ryan Keaffaber, Joseph Ross and Collin Dawes each had two hits. Andrew Waldon added a two rbi double. Adam Roser, Andy

Maggart, Shane Vigar and Jared Kirtlan also had hits. The Norse built a commanding 11-0 lead in the top of the fifth, aided by a six run second inning, only to have Maconaquah score three times off Roser in the bottom to extend the game. Northfield went scoreless in the sixth, bringing in Joseph Ross for relief. The Braves momentum remained hot, scoring

four times in the 6th to cut the lead to 11-7. Northfield would plate two more runs in the seventh, with Ryan Keaffaber shutting the door in the bottom to seal the win. “I thought we hit the ball real well up and down the line up (each starter had at least one hit) and the defense was solid except for one bad throw in the sixth. I

was hoping we could wrap it up at 11-0 but sometimes when you start subbing like we did the chemistry goes away and you get complacent. Give Maconaquah credit though as they are a decent ball club and kept chipping away late. Fortunately, Ryan came in and slammed the door shut in the seventh,” said Coach Uggen.

Nick Driskill signs free agent contract with the Colts Four former Mount Union football players, Jasper Collins with the Miami Dolphins, Chris Denton with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Charles Dieuseul with the New York Giants and Nick Driskill with the Indianapolis Colts, agreed to NFL free agent deals. The four join Pierre Garcon in Washington, Cecil

Shorts III in Jacksonville and Kyle Miller in Miami as former Mount Union football players on current NFL rosters. Driskill led the nation’s No. 1 ranked defense with 101 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles with two interceptions and two blocked kicks. He was also a consensus AllAmerican (AP, AFCA, D3football.com), the

Capital One Academic AllAmerican of the Year, Lee Tressel Ohio Athletic Conference Defensive Back of the Year and the National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete Award winner. The players helped lead Mount Union to a record 11th NCAA Division III national championship this past December.

Wabash WebTV Lady Knights split with Maconaquah Broadcasting High School baseball and softball by Gary Andrews The Southwood varsity softball team split a pair of games with M a c o n a q u a h Saturday. The Lady Knights fell in game one 5-3, then came back to win game two In game one, Maconaquah would score in four of the first five innings to lead 5-0 before Southwood made some noise. In the bottom of the fifth, Abby Grossnickle reached on an error and advanced to second to get things started. Lacey Goble and Mikayla Mettler followed with walks to load the bases, when Logan Hensley singled to score two. Jenny Bentley would then hit in to a fielders choice that scored Mettler to make it 5-3. Neither team would score the remainder

of the game with Maconaquah taking game one 5-3. Logan Hensley led the offense, going four for four with a double and two rbi’s. Bailey Lundmark had the other Knight hit, which was a triple. Jordyn Chain took the loss on the mound, going seven innings, striking out five and walking three. Jenny Bentley would be on the mound for Southwood in game two and the Knights wasted no time giving her support. After Bentley shut down Maconaquah in the first, Southwood went to work. After walks by Goble and Mettler, Hensley came through again with a single to put Southwood up 1-0. With two outs, Courtney Simpson

doubled in the second Southwood run to lead 2-0 after one. The Lady Knights would manufacture another run in the second and led 3-0 when they exploded in the third. With one out Bailey Lundmark singled and was followed by a single from Grossnickle and Chain being hit by a pitch. Meranda Friend then singled home a run to make it 4-0, followed by a Mettler single scoring two, 6-0. Jenny Bentley would then triple to clear the bases and the Knights led 9-0 after three. The Knights would give up three runs in the fourth and one in the 6th to hang on for the 9-4 win. Mettler, Hensley and Friend each had two hits to lead the offense. Southwood

had 11 hits. Jenny Bentley got the win, going seven innings, striking out 14 and walking four. ”We are starting to become better contact hitters and that’s a great sign as we move into the heart of our schedule. Our defense played great in both games with every player contributing to the win in game two. We still make some mental errors that cost us in game one, but if we can improve we can become a dangerous team in the coming weeks. Proud of our continuous effort in game one even after we got down and we carried that momentum into the early lead in game two. Great double header today for us as a team against a quality opponent,” said Coach Troyer.

Baker Wins Again

ball team tallied a 5-4 win over MidA m e r i c a n Conference opponent Ohio Friday afternoon to improve to 7-9 in league play and 18-

19 overall. Scott Baker took the mound for the Cardinals and improved to 9-1 on the season with the victory. Baker, who

by Bill Barrows Wabash WebTV has begun broadcasting Baseball & Softball games this Spring. That being said, with the weather playing havoc with the high school schedules due to all of the rain, we have had to scramble a bit to get things rolling. Rick Harness, Jim Landrum and Tim Harness have done a great job of being able to pick up games on short notice. I have been rained out of every game that I was assigned to do thus far. Is someone trying to tell me something? I don’t remember speaking unkindly about Mother Nature. We get back on track this week with some great matchups. By the time you read this we will have broadcast the Manchester

Squires taking on the Southwood Knights in a TRC baseball matchup. Further, we finish April by covering Caston visiting Chris Rood Field to take on the Apaches. On Wednesday May 1st, those same Apaches travel to Northfield for a TRC game against the reigning 2A State Champions. And on Thursday, we will be broadcasting the Lady Giants of Marion matchup with the Lady Apaches of Wabash. All of those games will be on Wabash WebTV just before the first pitch is thrown at 5pm each evening. Should anything be postponed because of rain, we may try to pick up anything that might be rescheduled for Friday May 3rd. On Monday May 6th, we

will resume broadcasting as the Lady Apaches travel to Southwood to take on the Lady Knights. Then on Wednesday the 8th, we are scheduled to be at Northfield to bring you softball as the Lady Norse host North Miami. All are 5pm start times. Again, check the website as we may bring you a previously unscheduled game should there be weather issues. Tuesday May 7th, could be a rain date. Remember, all of our broadcasts can be watched live on your computer or iPhone by following the prompts on thepaperofwabash.com webpage. They are also archived within hours of their original broadcast and will be on the site for 30 days. Batter up!!!!

Wabash splits at Apache Classic

by Gary Andrews The Wabash varsity baseball team hosted the Apache Classic Saturday, going 1-1 on the day to finish runner up in the tourney. In game one Wabash fell behind early, but rallied back to defeat Hebron 9-6. In game two Wabash met Leo, who had defeated TriCentral. The Apaches fell to the Lions 6-3. Game one was sort of a reunion for Apache coach Matt Stone. Stone is a Hebron graduate and has won more games as a Hebron baseball coach than any other with 80 wins. The Apaches fell behind 2-0 after two innings before the bats went to work. In the bottom of the third Landon Cole led

off with a walk and was followed by a Kyle Kelsheimer walk. Shea Beauchamp then ripped a two run triple to knot the score before Grant Sailors singled home Beauchamp for the lead. Isaiah Smith then doubled and Justin Holley walked to load the bases. The Apaches would pick up their 5th and 6th runs on a fielders choice and a Hebron error to lead 5-2. The game would go to the fifth at 5-2 when Wabash went to work again. Justin Holley was hit by a pitch, followed by a Devin Bitzel single. After a sac bunt, Tyler Brewer singled home two, making it 7-2. After a Cole single, Beauchamp doubled

home his third and fourth rbi’s of the game for a 9-2 lead. Hebron would pick up four runs in the sixth before relief pitcher Trevor Floor shut the door in the seventh. Devin Hostetler picked up the win. After defeating Hebron the Apaches had the task of taking on undefeated Leo in the championship game. The Lions were 8-0 and loaded. Leo would strike first, scoring one run in the first and two in the second to take a 30 lead. In the bottom of the third the Apaches would make some noise. Landon Cole singled and after Beauchamp was hit for the second time of the day, Wabash had runners on second

and third. Grant Sailors would hit in to a fielders choice that scored an Apache run to make it 3-1. Isaiah Smith would then single home the second run and Wabash trailed 3-2 after three. After holding Leo in the fourth, Wabash would strike again. With one out Roger Davis drew a walk and was followed by a Tyler Brewer single to put runners on first and third. Devin Hostetler then hit a sac fly to score Davis and tie the score at three. The Wabash bats would go silent the remainder of the game, drawing just two walks as Leo scored one in the fifth and two in the sixth for the 6-3 final.

Squires split with Triton- pick up first win

by Gary Andrews The Manchester varsity baseball team split a double header with Triton Saturday, losing game one 6-5 before picking up their first win of the year in game two 14-4. In game one, the Squires held a 3-1 lead after three before Triton plated three runs in the fourth and one in the sixth to take a 5-3 lead. Triton would score an insurance run in the top of the seventh,

which ended up being the winning run as the Squires scored twice in the bottom of the inning, falling short 6-5. Jim Sainsbury had two hits and one rbi. Cody Harlan had two hits. Branden Scott and Evan Olinger each had one hit and one rbi. Jake Semler had one hit. The Squires bounced back in game two in a big way to pick up their first win of the year. With Evan

Milam on the mound, Manchester went to work right away. After giving up one run in the first, the Squires exploded for six runs of their own to lead 61.

We anticipate that as many as 50 volunteers will join us as we seek to make a solid impression. There are so many to thank for their efforts that it is impossible to name everyone. But not one single person once asked ever declined. They participated in interviews and brainstorming sessions, focus groups and public meetings, t e l e p h o n e conversations and surveys, electronic conversations of all kinds.
