Stellar Community to be announced mid-June

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com The Stellar Grant Committee has done all they can do to impress the judges – now they just have to wait. Over the next few weeks, representatives from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority and the Indiana Department of Transportation will finish touring the county finalists for the Stellar Communities Pilot Program. Along with Wabash, five other counties out of 24 applicants were chosen as finalists. Other finalists are Angola, Bedford, Petersburg, Richmond and Frankfort. The winner will be announced in mid to late June. Representatives from the three agencies toured the City of Wabash last Wednesday with local leaders who had three hours to show off Wabash. “I think it went very, very well,” Bill Konyha, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County told The Paper of Wabash in an interview. They opened with an hour and a half community presentation. “We hit all of the topics they wanted us to hit,” said Konyha. “One of the big questions was if you don’t get this, what are you going to do. They didn’t want to hear us say we weren’t going to do the projects because that would mean it wasn’t really a plan and we just put this together because money was going to be available. And our plan is, well, we’re going to do it anyway. It might take 15 years instead of three, but this is the plan,” he said. During the tour, they went to each of the 12 locations on the project list. Each visitor was handed a booklet explaining the project vision, project readiness, proposed budget and proposed schedule. The booklet, created by primary consultant American Structure Point, Wabash Scientific, London Witte Group and Shiel Sexton, show map locations, how areas look now and how they could look when the project is complete. They started the tour on a bus, and when they reached Paradise Springs, they continued with a walk. “We stopped by the museum since that is one of the projects, and we ended in the lobby of Charley Creek Inn,” said Konyha. Most of the projects focus on downtown improvements. A proposed $2,902,000 will go towards a Façade Improvement Program to enhance the Wabash Marketplace District. The first phase of this project will focus on cosmetic and minor structural improvements on approximately 20 downtown buildings. The second phase will focus on facades, roofs and structural work for key buildings in downtown Wabash. According to the booklet, the objective of this project is to improve ”aesthetic qualities of building facades and public street facades in downtown Wabash; assisting property/business owners in rehabilitating the facades of their properties for the purpose of creating a positive visual impact; ensuring public safety; stimulating private investment; and complementing other community revi-

talization efforts.” Other downtown improvements include neighborhood owner-occupied rehabilitation (which would help rehabilitate approximately 50 residential homes over two – three phases, E. Market St. corridor), E. Canal St. corridor, Allen St. corridor, W. Market St. streetscape, and State Road 13/15 corridor improvements. Most of these improvements include making sidewalks and buildings handicap accessible, which Wabash County is required to do. “By including it in this program, we get to do it much more quickly. And for the money we were going to spend anyway, we’ll get to credit it as a match,” said Konyha about handicap accessibility. They also plan on making East Canal and East Market streets two-way, which would benefit the proposed Paradise Springs Amphitheater. “With that amphitheater, we’ve got to make it easy for people to get in and out,” said Konyha. The amphitheater would improve the current outdoor stage and create a 3,000 – 4,000 person outdoor space for performances. “This project will enhance the entertainment community and attraction value of Wabash, create a regional destination for outdoor music and entertainment, and create a flexible space for various sized events hosted by many community organization,” the booklet states. The venue will be programmed and operated by The Honeywell Foundation. A related project is the extension of

The trail will follow along the Wabash River; go through the park and by Charley Creek. They have a future goal to connect all city parks, the Morrett Sports Complex and local schools to downtown.

Two people injured in Wabash County crash

(continued on page 5)

On Saturday, May 11, at approximately 12:58 p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, and the LaFontaine Police Department responded to a two-vehicle crash on State Road 15 at Wabash County Road 1050 South, which injured two people. The preliminary crash investigation by Master Trooper Jan Maller revealed that Tyrus E. Faust, 62, LaFontaine, was driving a 1999 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck westbound on Wabash County Road 1050 South. Faust allegedly failed to stop for a stop sign at the intersection of State Road 15, and pulled into the path of a southbound 2000 Dodge Durango. The Durango, driven by Dustin Hurst, 32, LaFontaine, struck the pickup truck in the passenger’s side. The crash impact caused Faust, who was not wearing a seatbelt, to be partially ejected through the passenger’s side window. Faust was flown by Samaritan Helicopter to Fort Wayne’s Parkview Hospital with a life threatening head injury. Rachel Hurst, 37, LaFontaine, a passenger in the Durango, was transported by ambulance to Marion General Hospital. She sustained lacerations and cuts. All occupants of the Durango were wearing seatbelts. This is an ongoing investigation, but at this time neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to this crash. The LaFontaine Fire Department and Wabash County EMS also assisted Master Trooper Maller at the crash scene.

DURING THE STELLAR COMMUNITIES SITE VISIT, visitors received a booklet with all the project visions. It included existing pictures and pictures of what the area could look like after the project. Shown here are East Canal Street corridor improvements. The corner project is already underway, but the grant would help improve sidewalks and accessibility. (photos provided)

Writer and actor, Ron Zimmerman, visits Wabash Middle School by Emily Armentrout On May 6, Ron Zimmerman, an actor and writer from Los Angeles, came to Wabash Middle School to talk to with Mrs. Unger’s 6th grade Creative Writing classes. The session was open concept. He encouraged the students to ask him questions about his life, his career, anything. While he spoke the students worked on their KWLs. K stands for what they already know about their subject. W stands for what they want to

know about their subject, and L stands for what they are learning about their subject. When asked by a student what inspired him to start his career, Zimmerman told the students about his earliest decision to get into show business. “I was a little kid, about six. We lived in Los Angeles, and I took my dog to a big park. I saw all this commotion. It was only around one building, and there were cars parked everywhere. Through all these cars, cameras and

lights was the Batmobile. I couldn’t believe it; it was the most gorgeous car. I heard somebody call “action” and Batman and Robin ran out of the building, drove the car around the block and did it again. I was hypnotized. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen and I knew right then that no matter what I did in my life, I somehow would have to get a job where I could be in the middle of those people,” said Zimmerman. He explained that after they moved to Maryland from Los

Angeles that he had to “write his way back to Hollywood.” And he did. Zimmerman has written jokes for comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and Rodney Dangerfield. He has written award-winning poetry, comic books for Marvel Comics, and he even wrote and produced the first season of 7th Heaven. He knew that writing was his ticket, and he encouraged the students that when they find that one focus, that one thing they love, to stick with it, no matter what.

Coats congratulates Wabash’s Stephen Eilts on acceptance to U.S. Merchant Marine Academy WASHINGTON, DC – Senator Dan Coats (R-Ind.) congratulated Stephen Eilts, Wabash, on his acceptance into the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Coats nominated Eilts, a senior at Wabash High School, for an appointment to Kings Point. “There is no greater honor for an American citizen than wearing the uniform in service to the United States,” said Coats. “I congratulate Stephen on this distinguished honor and believe his talents and abilities will make him an outstanding midshipman. I look forward to hearing of his continued success.” Eilts is a National Honor Society member, active in choir and a swim team member. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Eilts. Individuals interested in attending a U.S. service academy may apply for and receive nominations from both their U.S. Representative and their two U.S. Senators. Applicants may also apply to the Vice President of the United States, who can nominate applicants at large. To assist in selecting the most qualified candidates, Coats formed an academy selection committee to review each application packet he received and to select the top applicants for interviews. These interviews were conducted in early December, and Coats nominated final candidates earlier this year.

The bill was sponsored by Representative Woody Burton (R) and cosponsored by Re presentatives Jerry Torr (R) and Justin Moed (D) and House Minority Leader Scott Pelath (D).

possible for carrying out required cuts. The Department will use the Secretary’s limited authority to transfer funds to avoid reducing these program payments. Producers should be advised that program sign-up periods currently underway have the following enrollment deadlines: 2013 Average Crop

Revenue Election (ACRE) Program – June 3; 2011 SURE – June 7; and the 2013 Direct and CounterCyclical Program – August 2. Producers should contact their local Farm Service Agency office as soon as possible for appointments to enroll in these programs before the deadlines.

USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save

more than $828 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.

Richard Ford among four to receive Ivy Tech Kokomo Region honorary degrees at 2013 commencement On Saturday, May 11, Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region recognized four individuals with honorary degrees including: Richard Ford, The Rev. Robert A. Lee, and Mick and Betty Ortman. Richard E. Ford is a supporter of Ivy Tech Community College, Manchester College, Indiana University, and Purdue University. Richard also has been a driving force in establishing a downtown campus in Wabash for Ivy Tech. Richard has spent the majority of his adult life improving the quality of life for residents of Indiana

with special attention to his hometown, Wabash. His Hoosier roots go back generations. Born and raised in Wabash, and a 1961 business graduate of Indiana University, Ford was a director for the Ford Meter Box Company, the family business his grandfather Edwin Ford founded, from 1978 to 2001. He is a two-time recipient of the Sagamore of the Wabash award, holds an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from Manchester College, and has been honored as a distinguished Citizen of Indianapolis and of Wabash. He also has been named a “Living Legend” of the

Indiana Historical Society. For his transformation of the new Charley Creek Inn in Wabash, Ford earned the 2011 Cook Cup for O u t s t a n d i n g Restoration. Indiana Landmarks President Marsh Davis praised Ford’s vision: “The Cook Cup honors owners who adhere to the highest standards of restoration in projects that make a positive difference in the community. The Charley Creek Inn wins on both counts. Richard Ford’s redevelopment demonstrates the power of preservation as a force in community revitalization.” Richards’s service on the boards and advisory councils for arts and humanities

organizations, including chair of the National Trust for Historic Preservation Council, positively impacts thousands of lives. His service enriches the Wabash Valley Music Association and the Historic Landmark Foundation of Indiana, and it even stretches across the Atlantic Ocean to the American Museum in Britain. He generously supports the Ballet Internationale as well as the Wabash County Historical Museum and the Indiana State Museum. A life member and former chair of the Honeywell Foundation, he also holds a directorship with the Indianapolis

Museum of Art and advises the Faberge Arts Foundation. His interests and service span the arts, from presidencies of the American Pianists Association to the Wabash Valley Dance Theatre. The Indianapolis Opera Company and the I n d i a n a p o l i s Symphony Orchestra know him well for his trusteeship and philanthropy. Richard is known throughout the region and the state as a dedicated community member. He has made more than significant contributions to restorations and the arts for everyone to enjoy.

The Allen County Partnership for Water Quality (ACPWQ) is hosting another Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) certification workshop. This workshop is designed to train educators of all sorts in the use of the 60+ activities contained within the new Project WET activity manual. This is the second generation of the Project WET manual and has many new activities and features with many of them

meeting ISTEP teaching standards. It is a fun and informative way to educate your students, staff or anyone on one of the most vital resources on the planet-water. “Understanding the water resources which define our area is essential to understanding the benefits and challenges we put to them.” Matt Jones, Water Resource Educator and Project WET Facilitator, states that “Only by studying the whole picture do we see how

the vitality of water and ourselves is connected. We live in the Lake and Rivers District of Indiana and we depend on this resource every day.” The workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, May 24. There is no charge for this workshop but pre-registration is necessary. To register, please contact the Allen County Partnership for Water Quality office at: www.acwater.org or by dialing

260-484-5848 ext. 111. The workshop will be held at the ACPWQ office at 3718 New Vision Dr., Ft. Wayne, IN 46845. Space is limited. Deadline for registration is Tuesday, May 21. Project WET is part of the programming of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and is paid for through the Division of Fish and Wildlife Sportsman’s Fund.

March for Babies thanks Sharp Creek and Metro North Elementary Schools Dear editor, We would like to express our thanks to Sharp Creek Elementary, Metro North Elementary, and April Ballschmidt, MetroCreek PTO President for their first Wonderwalk held on Wednesday, May 8. Over 40 children participated in the mini-walk to raise money for the March of Dimes.

A special thank you to all the children and parents who participated. Twenty-four children were awarded Wonderwalk tshirts for their efforts. The Wonderwalk is similar to the March for Babies but is for children. It is usually held at an elementary school or daycare facility. The parents receive a letter explaining the walk and the children

and/or parents can raise money for the walk. They receive a Wonderwalk t-shirt for raising $25. On their walk day they have a small designated area to walk in and receive a goodie bag with small items each time they walk around. This also gives them an opportunity to learn about giving back to t h e i r community. Kristi

Geiger, NE Division Director, and Sandy Craft and Pat Vanlandingham from the local committee

represented the March of Dimes at the walk. If you have any questions about

Wonderwalk or would like to host your own, please contact Pat Vanlandingham at 563-3476.

decided at the next meeting. Russell Krom reported that there may be a tractor pull at the pull field in June by the Big Block Modified Rails group. A call will be made to confirm this pull and the date. The Eel River Tractor Pullers Club will have a tractor pull on June 29, which will coincide with the breakfast in the bridge for the July 4 activities. Any bookings to use the pull field must be scheduled through the Lions Club. The club is still searching for new or a good set of used bleachers for the pull field.

Karsyn Kares City Wide Yard Sale PARADISE SPRING SAT., MAY 18TH • 9-3PM ISP offers young people an up close look at law enforcement Most television viewers have seen at least part of a CSI or Law and Order episode. These shows seem to have spurred a new interest in law enforcement and forensics. For over 40 years the Indiana State Police have been giving young people an up close look at law enforcement through its youth camps program. The three-day Respect for Law Camp is an exciting look at law enforcement for students entering 5th and 6th grades. Troopers and other police officers staff the co-ed camps and programs include spectacular demonstrations by Emergency Response Teams, Bomb Squads, Underwater Search and Rescue Teams and police dogs. Campers participate in recreational activities, make new friends and go home with a new respect for themselves and others. Respect for Law Camp will be held at: University of Southern Indiana June 13-15, Hanover College June 20-22, Vincennes University June 6-8, Anderson University July 11-13, and Notre Dame University June 27-29. Lions Law Camp gives students entering the seventh and eighth grades a behind the scenes look at the criminal justice system. The four-day co-ed camp offers a more advanced look at law enforcement through field trips, exciting demonstrations and motivating programs. Campers meet peers from around the state, participate in recreational activities and leave with a greater understanding of the police field. Law Camp will be held at: Vincennes University June 1215 and Anderson University July 10-13. Similar to the Indiana State Police Academy, Career Camp gives high school students an in-depth look at law enforcement. Campers conduct their own crime scene investigations, hear from defense attorneys, judges, and other experts in the criminal justice field, and watch exciting police demonstrations during the weeklong camps. Career Camp, which is co-ed, allows students to make friends from around the state, participate in recreational activities and experience what the police academy is like. The camp will be held at: Vincennes University July 7-12 and Trine University in Angola July 14-19. Scholarships are available to all camps. The camps are made possible through the support of the Indiana District Optimists, Indiana Troopers Youth Services, Jaycees, Lions Clubs of Indiana and many generous sponsors around the state. For more information about Indiana State Police Youth Services Camps, please call 888.477.9688 or visit www.in.gov/isp/2329.htm or the Indiana Troopers Youth Services website at www.trooper.org.

Good days ahead for Indiana’s walleye anglers Walleye production at Indiana’s state fish hatcheries has rebounded after suffering a weather-related setback last year. Every spring, DNR workers net adult walleyes at Brookville Lake in southeast Indiana, where eggs are collected from the fish and fertilized. The fish are released back into the lake, and the eggs are transported to Cikana State Fish Hatchery near Martinsville for incubation. Fish incubated in the spring are then stocked in Indiana lakes throughout the same year. According to Cikana manager Dan Jessup, unseasonably warm temperatures last spring resulted in one of the worst walleye egg collections on record, and the state was unable to meet some of its 2012 stocking goals. This year, however, the annual collection of walleye eggs was a success. That’s welcome news for anglers and fisheries biologists. “By 2016, the walleyes we stock this year will be well above the 14inch size limit and providing some great walleye action,” Jessup said. The DNR’s fish stocking program enhances fishing opportunities where natural limitations prevent certain fish from reproducing or surviving. The walleye is Indiana’s most popular stocked fish. Although native to Indiana, walleye distribution and abundance was limited until annual stockings were developed in the 1970s. According to DNR biologists, natural reproduction of walleyes is insufficient to maintain populations in most of Indiana. Hatchery production offsets the shortfall. Indiana typically stocks about 22 million walleye fry that are 4 days old. An additional one million walleye fingerlings are stocked in June after being raised to one to two inches. Six- to eight-inch walleyes are produced for stocking in the fall at lakes where fry or June fingerlings fail to establish a fishery. “While 2013 did not produce the highest number of adult walleyes we’ve ever collected, nor the most eggs, fish size and egg quality were excellent,” Jessup said. “All lakes that receive newly hatched fry have been stocked and we are on target to grow enough one-two inch and six-eight inch fingerlings to meet those stocking needs as well.”

William Delaplane, Jr., 98 Wabash High School graduate Sept. 1, 1914 – March 22, 2013

July 11, 1951 – May 9, 2013 Marvin K. Horine, 61, Fairmount, died Thursday, May 9, at his residence. He was born on July 11, 1951 in Marion to the late Paul and Helen Horine. Marvin was a 1969 graduate of Northfield High School, later graduating from the University of Evansville and the IU School of Law. He worked at Subaru in Peru, having previously been a deputy prosecutor for Wabash County. Along with his brother Dennis, Marvin was a member of the Brotherto-Brother musical quartet. He was also a very active member of the Woodlawn United Methodist Church in Somerset. In addition to his passions for music and his church, Marvin enjoyed golf, military history, cared for animals, and was a very loving father. Marvin is survived by his sons, Jon (fiancé Brandy Percy) Horine, Fairmount, Alexander Horine, Lebanon; a grandson, Jace Horine, Georgia; two brothers, Larry (Peggy) Horine, Urbana, Ill. and Dennis (Delores) Horine, Marion; and his step-mother, Dortha Horine, Wabash.

William K. Delaplane, Jr, 98, who spent his childhood in Carroll and Wabash counties and had life-long connections to this area, died quietly on March 22. Bill, as he was known to all family and friends, loved people and never knew a stranger. He had a penchant for humor, always looking to share a laugh with others through often-corny jokes and silly pranks. He never lost his ability to spontaneously insert a pun or one-liner into conversations, even in his final years. He loved music and had an incredible memory for song lyrics. Throughout his life, he sang in various vocal groups, and he performed as a singer/dancer in several talent shows for seniors. Bill was born at home on Sept. 1, 1914, in Burlington, Ind., and he was raised on a farm near Deer Creek. He attended his first two years of high school in Burlington, but graduated from Wabash High School in 1932, then Purdue University in 1938. At Purdue he was a member of the marching band and the Acacia fraternity. He looked forward to the alumni reunions to see old friends from these schools. Bill married Nancy Noggle from Kansas City in 1940, and they moved to Urbana, Ill., where Bill eventually completed his PhD in entomology. Together they purchased Illini Pest Control (IPC), which Bill expanded to include service in east central Illinois and parts of Indiana. In the mid 1960s, Bill spent three years as a professor at Ohio State University, after which he was a contractor for the United States Agency for International Development in India working with local farmers to improve their rice production. He returned to Illinois in the early 1970s to manage IPC, which he sold in 2008. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of insects. Even in his old age, Bill never missed a chance to tease anyone, just ask any of his family and friends. He outlived his younger brothers, Robert and Joseph, and his younger sister, Ellyn. Though Bill was very funny, he was second fiddle to his brother Joe. A half-sister, Jackie Higgley, lives in Peru, and a step-sister, Jeannette Hipskind, lives in Wabash. His first cousin, Jim Delaplane (wife, Jo), lives near Flora. As Bill’s health deteriorated in the last few years, he moved from Urbana to Oak Park, Ill., to be near his daughter and her family. He is survived by his second wife, Elaine, Urbana, Ill., and his daughters, Diana, Champaign, Ill., Dietra Millard, Oak Park, Ill., and Montrew Batson, Orange Beach, Ala. Two sons, William K. III, and Gary, preceded him in death. He had six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. A celebration for Bill will be held at the I Hotel in Champaign, Ill., on Saturday, July 6, at 11 a.m., with a luncheon to follow. All are welcome to come.

Rochester man arrested on drug charges in Miami County Miami County –On May 10, a traffic stop by Indiana State Trooper Daniel Prus led to the arrest of David Lowe 27, Rochester. Lowe was incarcerated in the Miami County Jail to face felony charges for driving a vehicle after having been deemed a habitual traffic violator, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of chemical drug precursors. He also faces a misdemeanor count for possession of drug paraphernalia. That evening, at approximately 4:05 p.m., Indiana State Trooper Daniel Prus initiated a traffic stop on a Ford Taurus, which was traveling northbound on U.S. 31 near Miami County Road 800 North. Prus was stopping the Taurus for allegedly having window tint-

ing that was too dark and following another vehicle too closely. After Prus activated the emergency lighting on his marked police vehicle, he observed the driver, later identified as David Lowe, purportedly switch seats with a female passenger. After the Ford came to a stop, further investigation revealed that Lowe was allegedly driving after having been deemed a habitual traffic violator. During the course of the traffic stop, Prus noticed indicators that criminal activity might be afoot. A subsequent search of the Ford revealed chemical drug precursors and drug paraphernalia. Troopers also purportedly found two small plastic bags, containing a white powdery substance, on the ground in the

Governor Pence signs common core review, puts focus on students Governor also signs education bills that will improve education for Hoosier children INDIANAPOLIS— Governor Pence signed education bill HEA 1427, which requires a comprehensive review of the Common Core State Standards. “I have long believed that education is a state and local function and we must always work to ensure that our students are being taught to the highest academic standards and that our curriculum is developed by Hoosiers, for Hoosiers,” said Pence. “The legislation I sign today hits the pause

Senators Jim Banks (R) and Lonnie Randolph (D) were the co-sponsors. Governor Pence today also signed two important education bills HEA 1005 and HEA 1348, which fall

under the Governor’s Roadmap to improve education for Hoosier students. Governor Pence’s Roadmap outlines his vision to continue Indiana on a pathway to success through fiscal responsibility, economic development and educational opportunity for every Hoosier child. “The bills will give our Hoosier students more opportunities for the kind of education that will help them to be successful,” said Governor Pence. “The signing of bills HEA 1005 and HEA 1348 demonstrates our state’s commitment to making education a priority and illustrates my dedication to ensure that all Hoosier students and their families have better educational opportunities.” HEA 1005 provides new strategies to help schools identify and respond to students’ remediation needs and ensure that students graduate from high school ready for college or a career. The new law allows additional flexibility for remediation grant funding to reach atrisk students and requires more communication from schools to parents. Representative Ed Clere (R) authored the legislation and Representative Wendy McNamara (R) co-authored HEA 1005. Senators Carlin Yoder (R) and Earline Rogers (D) sponsored the bill. HEA 1348 is intended to impact on-time college graduation rates by providing incentives for students to stay on track towards graduating with a bachelor’s degree in four years or an associate degree in two years. The bill also provides increased higher education awards for students who graduate from high school with an academic honors diploma. The legislation requires public colleges and universities to commit to ontime degree pathways for each student and to bear the costs of any additional credits needed to complete the degree if the student follows the map and maintains a satisfactory GPA. Representative Tom Dermody (R) authored the bill and Representative Randy Truitt (R) co-authored the bill. Senator Luke Kenley (R) sponsored the bill.

Local Blood Drive thanks donors, volunteers Dear Editor, We want to thank all of our donors and volunteers who helped with the labors, donated food, or donated blood for our April blood drive. All of you working together helps to make it a success. Also, thanks to the North Manchester Church of the Brethren for the use of their facility once again. We collected a total of 68 units, which was more than the last couple times and was within our goal of 60-70 units, so we were very thankful. We hope we can increase that number at the next blood drive on Thursday, June 20, at the North Manchester Church of the Brethren, from noon until 6 p.m. We hope to see you there. We also thank each of our faithful donors that come nearly every time. On behalf of the American Red Cross, thank you!

Wabash County retired teachers hold meeting

THE WABASH ROTARY CLUB PRESENTED CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION to four local students that attended the 27th annual District 6540 Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) Camp. The camp took place April 19-21 at Camp Tecumseh YMCA Outdoor Center, Brookston, Indiana. Dana Brady, local committee chair, said that participants were selected from Northfield, Southwood and Wabash High Schools, in their sophomore or junior years, which have exhibited leadership abilities in school, church, extracurricular, or community activities. Aimed at developing the leadership potential of young people, the camp featured many challenging activities including workshops, speakers, discussions, sports, music, and fun. These students lived, worked, studied, and played together in a democratic setting under the guidance of professional counselors and educators. The focus was on decisionmaking, critical thinking, communicating effectively, public service, contemporary problems, and career development. Pictured are front row, left to right. Eric Dale Club President, Thomas Grier, Claire Cromer both from Wabash High School, Alyson Gouveia Southwood, Jeremy Nevil Northfield and Dana Brady RYLA Chair.

The Wabash County Retired Teachers Association (WCRTA) met April 18, at the Heartland Career Center. The meeting was called to order by President Barry Conrad. Members then recited the Pledge of Allegiance. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The amended treasurer’s report was presented and approved. Several committee reports were given, including volunteer hours, legislative, necrology, and membership. There was no old business. In new business, Bud Tully mentioned a scholarship supported by WCRTA and presented by M a n c h e s t e r University was awarded to a Wabash County student for the second year in a row. Barry Conrad mentioned that there will

be a legislative meeting in Indianapolis on June 19 and encouraged any member interested in attending to let him know. The next meeting will be June 20 at T i m b e r c r e s t Retirement Center. The program will be presented by Bev Vanderpool, who will portray a pioneer schoolmarm. The meeting adjourned for a delicious lunch prepared and served by Heartland Career Center’s Culinary Class. After lunch, the program was presented by Mary Jo McClelland. In the fall of 2012, she and several others including doctors and dentists from the area flew to Manus, Brazil on a medical missionary trip. They traveled by boat on the Amazon River for many days, stopping at villages along the river to

treat medical and dental ailments. The Amazon Boat Program began with Earl and Ruth Haubner, who have been missionaries in the area for decades. Mary Jo also mentioned that children living in the villages are picked up by a yellow school boat and

taken to school daily. The children attend school one session each day, either morning, afternoon or evening. Mary Jo said that the trip was very rewarding and it helped her appreciate living in the United States more. The meeting was adjourned.

Richvalley United Methodist Women hold mother daughter gathering The Richvalley United Methodist Mother Daughter Gathering was held recently at the R i c h v a l l e y Community Building. Hostesses were Cindi Price, Pam Smith, Amy Lauer and Carolyn Hopkins. The program was given by retired Miami County teacher Sharon Dillman, who portrayed Lydia of Bible days. One item noticed readily in her attire was the purple cloth. Lydia originally came from Turkey and became a dyer of fabric, especially purple garments. Lydia was converted through the preaching of Paul. At the time of her contact with Paul, Lydia was living in Philippi and worshipped God. Colorful fabric and coins were displayed. Table decorations included yellow violas in green grace and

cupcakes atop crystal cake stands and plates. The flowers were used as prizes. Cindi Price read scripture from Proverbs 31 followed by several humorous stories pertaining to Mothers and Grandmothers and the examples and sacrifices they made for their families. Another story told of a special dinner between a Mother and her Son. A reminder, don’t forget to say, “I love you” to your family and friends. Amy Lauer added humor about Grandma’s apron. Prayer closed the afternoon gathering. The next meeting will be June 5 at 7 p.m. with Vickie Thrush giving the lesson. Roll call response will be a verse from Psalms. Members are to read the last seven books of the Old Testament for discussion. Attending were

Vicki Bradley, Dorotha Horine, Kathy Wehrly and Angel, Tara, Natasha and Kylie Leland, Patty Sausaman, Tammy Howard, Linda and Courtney Smith, Casey Sausaman, Amy Lauer, Arline Kizer, Marilyn Crousre, Peg Manning, Deanna Unger, Lisa and

North Manchester Historical Society and Center for History honor volunteers Sixty volunteers were honored at the reception at the Center for History on April 23

The volunteers have served as docents, researchers, program committee members, board members, and in many other capacities. Those present were honored for their work in 2012. The Volunteer of the Year award was given to Steve Batzka. He is the chief person responsible for furnishings and wall treatments for the Thomas Marshall Birth House on Market Street. The house was constructed in 1852, and has been restored to its original condition. It opened to the public last summer the first Saturday of each month. Batzka also serves as a docent there. Special recognition was also given to Ferne Baldwin, Evelyn Niswander, and Karl Merritt. Each received recognition for Lifetime Volunteer Service to the Historical Society. Merritt has arranged excursions twice a

year for Historical Society and Shepherd Center members for approximately 20 years. Baldwin served as President of the Society for many years, edited its newsletter for 11 years, and continues to serve on its board. She and Niswander have arranged the monthly dinner meetings of the Society for decades; Niswander also served on the Board and as Secretary. Both recall keeping the Historical Society going in years when there was not much interest. Mary Chrastil, current Historical Society President, thanked them all for laying the foundation for what the Society has become today. Volunteers who have accumulated 100 hours of service received a polo shirt with the North Manchester Center for History logo. Those achieving this milestone this year were: Gladys Airgood, Eloise Eberly, Joan Fahs, David Hippensteel, Mike McKee, Loree Prithcard, Dave Randall, Carolyn

Reed, Nancy Schuler, and Sally Welborn. Chrastil noted that people volunteer for many reasons, such as helping others, helping the community, and making North Manchester a great place to live. She noted that in 2011 volunteers gave 4,041 volunteer hours to the Center for History. In 2012 the volunteer hours increased to 8,894, more than double. One reason for the increase is that the Center for History increased its open hours in 2012 from eight per week to thirty-three hours per week. Another increase in volunteer hours has been from the opening of the Thomas Marshall House. Chrastil quoted figures from the Independent Sector, an organization that tracks volunteerism nationally. Using their guidelines for the value of volunteer hours, she noted that volunteers gave the equivalent of $88,000 to help the Historical Society in 2011; in 2012 that value translated into $194,000. The North M a n c h e s t e r

Historical Society does business as the North Manchester Center for History; both are not-for-profits who depend entirely on volunteer support. Without volunteers they would not be able to function.

2012. The Distinguished Club status is awarded to a Kiwanis Club that fulfills a number of criteria set in place by the Indiana District of Kiwanis and Kiwanis International to measure club excellence. Deb Van Meter, the Club’s president in 2012, gave much of the credit for the award to other Club members. “One of the selected criteria is club growth,” said Van Meter. “Our Membership Chair and 2011-12 Kiwanian of the Year, Ellen Mock, was instrumental in retaining membership and recruiting new members to keep the club growing and expanding our influence in the community to help programs that benefit children of all ages.” “In addition, points were earned for sponsoring the K Family of Leadership Service Organizations in area high schools and elementary schools. The Kiwanis Family of clubs was blessed with fantastic leadership in the 2011-12 year. Judy Ward and Donna Siders served as advisors for the K-Kids Clubs at O.J. Neighbors

and W.C. Mills Elementary Schools. Christina Sapusek and Amanda Richardson were outstanding leaders for the Northfield and Wabash High School Key Clubs.” The Club also earned points for supporting numerous community service activities throughout the year that were unique to the Kiwanis mission. These included the Spelling Bee, the Beauchamp & McSpadden Self Reliance Award Program, Special Olympics, and Bucket Brigade for Riley Hospital. Van Meter noted that Beth Miller, a longstanding Kiwanis member, was instrumental in achieving the award. “Beth was responsible for fulfilling two of the categories of club excellence: participation in leadership at the state level and involvement in the global Kiwanis efforts to ‘change the world, one child at a time.’ Beth Miller served as Lieutenant Governor of the Indiana Kiwanis District and also served as Ambassador for the Eliminate Project, a world-wide

Huntington University’s occupational therapy program to open fall 2014

H u n t i n g t o n University’s first graduate-level occupational therapy programs could open as early as fall of 2014. With Board of Trustees approval, the university is moving forward with developing the master’s and doctoratelevel degrees. This will be the institution’s first doctorate program. The graduate programs will be located within the new Life Science Education and Research Consortium of Northeast Indiana at the Parkview Randallia campus in Fort Wayne. The programs will build on Huntington’s under-

graduate degrees in exercise science, nursing and allied health. The Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education has accepted the university’s letter of intent to develop the graduate-level programs. “Occupational therapy is an in-demand field which is expected to continue to grow in coming years,” said Dr. Ann McPherren, senior vice president for strategy. “We want to prepare students who have a heart to serve others as well as the knowledge and motivation to make a positive impact in their field.”

The program has received a high-level of interest with more than 50 inquiries from prospective students. “This is an exciting opportunity for the university to build on the already strong health careers in the Fort Wayne area,” McPherren said. “We look forward to partnering with the many health care professionals in the region.” Through the consortium, the university is currently offering bachelor’s degree programs in human resource management, not-for-profit leadership and RN to BSN degree completion as well as a Master of Counseling program.

Recently, Barbara Amiss gave an interesting program to Wabash County Genealogical Society. It was about the huge ship, Titanic, which left South Hampton, England on April 12, 1912. It was on its first voyage and was headed to America. On the fourth night at sea, the ship hit an iceberg. 1517 souls perished and only 413 survived to reach America. Those in lifeboats were rescued by the ship Carpathia, taken aboard and treated for shock and injuries. Barbara showed a cardboard “mock-up” of the Titanic. It depicted first and second-class portholes. Third class was below deck with no portholes. She also showed a replica teacup and saucer, such as would have been aboard the ship. Barbara once had a dinner guest, Edward Zimmerman, who described the ordeal his mother endured as a 17-year-old passenger aboard the Titanic. On Easter Sunday, her father took her to the train station for the first part of her journey. Her final destination was Central City, Iowa, where she planned to live with relatives. After much “fanfare,” the Titanic left the shoes of England and headed into the North Atlantic Sea. She became seasick and couldn’t go to din-

ner until Saturday evening. Her tablemate was Michael Narratil and his two sons. Estranged from his wife, he planned to take the children to America and assume a new identity. The boys survived but the man was lost at sea. Eventually, they were reunited with their mother. The night the ship hit the iceberg, the 17year-old passenger was reading in her cabin. Hearing a commotion in the hallway, she quickly dressed and went to see what all the noise was about. By then, the ship was in a leaning position. An orchestra member, Roger Bricoux, helped her into a lifeboat. The ship, Carpathia, came to the rescue of the survivors and treated them for shock, injuries and hypothermia. This

ship then carried them to New York City. Many were treated in hospitals and given aid by the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. They were given some money also, to get started in America. All the 17-year-old had with her when she reached our shores were the clothes on her back and a one-way ticket to Iowa. Her trunk and belongings were lost at sea. After the disaster, a Fulton County Historian interviewed Elmer Zimmerman, who told of one passenger who survived, a Swiss j o u r n a l i s t . Apparently he had offended the king, so he was heading to America to start a new life. He was named August Anderson. In America, he changed his named to August

Wennerstrom. Although he was traveling in third class in the Titanic, he managed to get to a lifeboat and cling to it in the frigid waters. Upon reaching New York, he was also given money and traveled to Culver, Ind. There he got a job as a groundskeeper at Culver Military Academy. He kept his job for the rest of his life. The total number of children aboard the Titanic was 103. 49 children survived but one died due to the harsh experience. Upon salvage examination many years later, no gash was noted on the side of the ship. After hitting the iceberg, the rivets did not hold and the ship broke in two. A sad commentary for this ship, which in 1912 was termed a “20th century marvel.”

Purdue expert: Treat trees for emerald ash borer by mid-May

WEST LAFAYETTE - Homeowners who want to protect their ash trees from the destructive emerald ash borer should have trees treated no later than mid-May, a Purdue Extension entomologist says. Adult borers soon will emerge from ash trees and begin feeding on them and laying eggs, so it is best to apply insecticide treatments to ash trees before this occurs, Cliff Sadof said. “This ensures that beetles are killed before they have a chance to lay eggs on the trees,” he said. Sadof expects to see EAB adults emerging by the end of May. The invasive beetle, which has been confirmed in all Indiana counties except 12 in the southeastern portion of the state, is almost always lethal to untreated ash trees. The most extensive damage in Indiana has occurred in the northeast, where

more than 14,000 dead and dying ash trees have been removed in Fort Wayne alone. Communities on Indianapolis’ north side have also lost thousands of ash trees to the EAB. In some of the mostaffected areas, streets have had to be closed so that afflicted trees could be removed for public safety. Sadof said it’s not too late to save healthy trees. “Proper insecticide treatments can save trees, so more people are choosing this option,” he said. “The catch is that you have to do it before the trees start looking too bad.” Infested ash trees have several visible symptoms, including a thinning of leaves in the upper third of the canopy. Woodpecker holes or splits in the bark that reveal the curvy trails left by the tree-chewing insect also indicate infestation. Because the beetles

first attack tree tops, the D-shaped holes the borer makes when it exits the tree are often too high up to see until the tree is nearly dead. Sadof says using insecticides to save trees can be less

expensive than removing and replacing them. Annemarie Nagle, exotic forest pest outreach coordinator for Purdue’s Department of Entomology, heads a Purdue Extension program called

Neighbors Against Bag Bugs to help neighborhoods work together to lower tree management costs. “More communities are discovering that homeowners associations or just neighbors joining forces

can save money,” Nagle said. “Many tree care companies are willing to offer discounts for bulk work; neighborhoods end up saving a good portion of their trees.” Information on

identifying infested trees, treatment and advice on hiring a professional arborist, plus a cost calculator are available on the Purdue website http://www.eabindiana.info.

Economist: Low cattle prices have time to rebound W E S T L A FAY E T T E Although finishedcattle prices that were expected to increase this year for producers remained low in the first quarter, Purdue Extension agricultural economist Chris Hurt said increases could be on the horizon. Hurt said he earlier had thought that beef production would decline by three percent for the first half of the year and that cattle prices would be in the $130s by now, but that hasn’t happened. “So far this year, beef supplies have been down close to

one percent,” he said. “That means more beef than we expected, and more beef is certainly one of the contributors to lower cattle prices.” More supply isn’t the only component of the lower-than-expected beef prices. Additional contributors include a weaker U.S. economy, reduced pork and chicken exports and high retail beef prices. “The weak U.S. economy has many consumers shopping for value and beef has had higher retail price increases as compared with competitive animal proteins,” Hurt said. “As

an example, retail choice beef prices have been at recordhigh levels this year, reaching $5.30 per retail pound in the month of March.” Over the past six months, beef prices have risen 6 percent more than pork prices, 10 percent more than turkey, four percent more than chicken and seven percent more than eggs. Higher beef prices for consumers, coupled with lower animal exports - pork exports were down by 14 percent in the first two months and chicken exports by three percent - have

created more competition in the domestic market for beef. Hurt said continued small supplies of beef for the rest of the year suggests a brighter future for cattle prices. “Last-quarter supplies could drop by six to seven percent, with prices rising into the low $130s,” he said. “First-quarter prices for next year should improve a few dollars toward the low- to mid-$130s. These forecasts are all higher than current futures prices.” If crop yields are closer to normal this year and corn is about $5 a bushel by har-

vest, those much lower feed prices will stimulate expansion of all animal species. Hurt said with lower feed prices and improved pasture conditions, cattle producers are expected to retain more heifers. These early stages of herd expansion will draw the beef supply down even more and lead to higher cattle prices. “This all suggests better days ahead for both finished cattle and calf prices,” he said.

Hot dogs, drinks, chips and cookies will be provided to all who attend. Prizes and giveaways will also be distributed.

Dukes Memorial Hospital’s heritage is one of great dedication, compassion and service to all individuals in our community and each of the communities in which we serve. In 1908, Captain Aaron Dukes contributed $35,000 to build the first portion of our h o s p i t a l . U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Captain Dukes died before the building was completed and didn’t get to enjoy the benefits of his initial investment. During the great flood of 1913, the hospital became a refuge for the sick and injured as the floodwater reached 15 feet. Since the hospital was

county commissioners appointed a group of nonpartisan trustees to oversee the hospital. In 1982, the original hospital building was demolished to make way for the DMH Professional Building. DMH has undergone many major expansions in response to the changing needs of our community. In 2010, a comprehensive renovation was completed of the Intensive Care Unit and the Medical/Surgical floor. Most recently, a renovation of the Suite Beginnings Obstetrics Unit was

completed, in addition to, a renovation of the 3 West Specialty Clinic Unit. “We are very excited for the opportunity to celebrate this special milestone, our centennial anniversary, with our community,” stated Debra Close, CEO. “We continue to be committed to providing the highest level of care to our community, utilizing some of the most talented physicians and innovative technology the industry has to offer, and we look forward to serving our community for another 100 years!”

During this time, citizens of Miami County raised an additional $5,000 for furnishings and equipment for 35 beds to turn the building into DMH.

27 Farmers should spray fields to control winter weeds, have better crops www.thepaperofwabash.com

May 15, 2013

Producers need to make burndown applications on winter annual weeds quickly once weather conditions allow them to get into fields, two Purdue Extensions weed specialists say. Eliminating weed cover helps soils to dry more quickly to

allow earlier planting and creates a better seedbed for corn and soybean crops. Bill Johnson and Travis Legleiter said the weather cycles of cold temperatures, abundant rain and short spurts of warmer, sunny days have allowed weeds

such as chickweed, purple deadnettle, henbit, wild garlic, dandelions and marestail to flourish in the last few weeks. “The big thing when it comes to spraying is that it will help with crop establishment by minimizing other plants,”

Johnson said. “Although these annuals may already be flowering and nearing the end of their life cycles, a timely burndown application will speed up the drying processes for quicker soil drying and timely planting.” Marestail has been

Purdue agronomist: Don’t fall for the three tillage temptations W E S T LAFAYETTEA Purdue Extension agronomist is urging corn farmers not to let planting anxiety drive them to fall for three common tillage temptations: too early, too wet, and too often. Heavy rainfall and cool temperatures have delayed planting and tillage operations in Indiana and Ohio. As of April 22, less than 1 percent of the corn crop had been planted in both states, and there had been only a few days suitable for fieldwork. Farmers often become too eager during weather delays, which can lead to risky or unnecessary field operations, Tony Vyn said. “A couple of weeks ago, we had a lot of growers out doing tillage well before they intended to plant,” he said. “The only time it’s appropriate to till early is if you plan to plant into a stale seedbed once

the weather allows for planting.” Instead, Vyn said corn growers should plan to postpone spring tillage until that field is within 24 hours of the intended planting time - especially in fine soils where the risk of erosion, gullies and soil crusting is highest. Reasonably level fields with sandy and loam soils often are the best candidates for planting into a stale seedbed because soil crusting with intense rain is less likely. However, all soils are most susceptible to erosion losses when intense rain comes right after tillage and before drying cycles have had the opportunity to help restore soil aggregate stability. Beyond proper timing of tillage operations, Vyn said producers should avoid working ground when it’s too wet. “We’re having a wet spring, we’re expect-

ing more rain, and farmers have a lot of acreage to plant, so the temptation is there to till when it’s too wet,” he said. “The problem is that tilling wet soils can cause compaction. You can lose a lot more yield with compaction than with delayed planting. “Just because the tractor doesn’t get stuck doesn’t mean you should be out there.” Even if the soil surface is dry, Vyn said corn growers need to do more to determine if fields are ready for tillage. First, growers need to be sure the soil will break apart at 1 inch below the depth of tillage. Producers can easily determine if soil is ready by taking clumped soil from the depth of tillage and rolling it between their hands. If the soil forms a “worm” that is 5 inches long with a diameter of threeeighths of an inch or

Chamber announces annual golf outing, hole in one contest Wabash County Chamber of Commerce WACCY Golf has announced that the Chamber’s Annual Golf outing will be held on Wednesday, June 5, at the Honeywell Golf Course, Wabash. The public is invited. The event is a Best Ball Scramble with a 7:30 a.m. flight and a 1 p.m. flight, with shotgun start. There is a limit of 24 teams per flight, so early reservations are recommended. The fee includes 18 holes of golf with cart, driving range, lunch/continental breakfast, door prize and multiple games and prize opportunities. Wabash County REMC is sponsoring the Hole-In-One contest which will include cash prizes of $5,000, $3,000, and two opportunities for $1,000. Hole-In-One contests will be held on Holes # 3, #7, #15 and #16. “This is a great opportunity for our members and their

clients, vendors and friends to come out and enjoy a really good day of networking and building those relationships.

less, it’s too wet. The final tillage temptation Vyn said growers should avoid is tilling too frequently. Fields with soybean stubble and those with sandy and loam soils are candidates for no-till corn. And in some situations where full-width tillage is tempting, a single pass of striptillage is enough. “Where we go with tillage has a lot to do with long-term soil health,” Vyn said. “We are facing huge weather changes from 2012 to 2013, so it’s extremely critical that we think of using tillage or no-till to improve soil resiliency for whatever weather we’re expecting. “There is a lot of emphasis on choosing the right hybrids, but with tillage it’s important to understand the potential corn yield loss and season-long, root-zone soil damage done by tilling too early, too often and when soils are too wet.”

to use carrier volumes of at least 15 to 20 gallons per acre.” Using the spray nozzle tips listed on the product label and calibrating the sprayer also will ensure optimal coverage, Johnson said. “You want to make sure you’re applying the proper amount of herbicide per acre and make sure that it’s being delivered to the target as accurately as possible to minimize costs,” he said. “With some products, it’s important to have your sprayer set up to deliver higher carrier volumes in order to get better spray coverage and ultimately better efficacy.” More information about controlling and spraying weeds is available at h t t p : / / w w w. e x t e n sion.purdue.edu/extmedia/WS/WS-16W.pdf.

resistant weeds. Many producers will have to change their regular burndown applications to other herbicides or tank mixes. Legleiter said some popular tank mixes that could work are those that include contact herbicides such as paraquat and saflufenacil. When applying these contact herbicides, which only kill the parts of the plant where the chemical is deposited, farmers should ensure they’re using the proper amount and mix. “When applying a contact herbicide, producers need to keep in mind that complete spray coverage is essential,” Legleiter said. “A lot of producers apply about 10 gallons per acre, but to ensure complete coverage with contact herbicides, producers need

Despite the economic downturn, these jobs have remained in demand, and will only increase as technology marches on. HEA 1001 creates a STEM Teacher Recruitment Fund and new stipend programs for teachers that are in high demand. In Indiana, 61 percent of children (ages 3-4) are not enrolled in a preschool program. Only six states have a higher percentage of children not attending a preschool. The budget creates a Pre-K Matching Program.

Indiana holds a higher credit rating than the federal government, whose debt has now passed the $16 trillion mark for the first time in our nation’s history. That equates to more than $50,000 of debt for every man, woman and child in the U.S. “In addition, we also introduced a new conservative concept in state budgeting: paying cash for projects and paying off the state’s debt burden,” said Speaker Bosma. “After all of those goals have been met, and with a proven track record of fiscal integrity, we are in the position to give Hoosiers the largest tax cut in the history of Indiana.

Economist: Livestock producers should expect bright future

W E S T LAFAYETTE – More efficient land use, a stalled demand for corn ethanol and increased demand for meat in developing countries should help boost the livestock industry in coming years, according to a Purdue University agricultural economist. Farzad Taheripour, a research assistant professor of agricultural economics, used Food and A g r i c u l t u r e Organization and U.S. Department of Agriculture data, paired with Purdue’s Global Trade Analysis Project model, to guide analysis of global economic issues. “Due to consumer taste preferences, global growth in income and population, the livestock industry will grow, particularly toward poultry and pork,” Taheripour said. “The demand for poultry and pork will increase significantly.” Taheripour said less land is being used for feed crops these days, but increased efficiency makes each acre more productive. More feed from those acres should help livestock producers manage their production costs. Corn ethanol demand has also hit a wall. Over the past decade, diverting grains from food and (continued on page 29)

Nitrogen key to uptake of other corn nutrients, study shows A historical analysis of corn research shows that new hybrids are taking up more nitrogen than older plant varieties after the crucial flowering stage, a clue as to how plant scientists will need to adapt plants to increase yields. Tony Vyn, a professor of agronomy, and Ignacio Ciampitti, a postdoctoral research associate, are studying the timing of nutrient uptake in corn and how that process affects yield. They found that modern hybrids (post1990) took up 27 percent more total nitrogen from the soil after flowering than pre1990 corn plants. In fact, nitrogen uptake after flowering in post-1990 hybrids averaged 56 percent of the total grain nitrogen at the end of the season.

Primarily, more grain nitrogen came from new nitrogen uptake from soil during grain filling, as opposed to nitrogen being remobilized from plant leaves and stems. The higher amount and duration of nitrogen uptake contributed to superior grain yields even as actual grain nitrogen concentrations declined. The timing of nitrogen uptake is also important in understanding how other plant nutrients are affected. Vyn said optimum nitrogen levels increased plants’ abilities to absorb phosphorus, potassium and sulfur. Part of the corn plant’s response to receiving adequate nitrogen is that progressively higher percentages of total plant phosphorus, potassium and sulfur end up

in the grain fraction at harvest. “You need to think in terms of nutrient balance. If you have a plant with more biomass and more yield, it will be taking up more nutrients in a balanced manner that shifts with plant needs and growth stages,” Ciampitti said. Post-1990 corn hybrids use nitrogen more efficiently, so less is necessary per unit of yield. But as those plants increase nitrogen utilization, they increase their uptake of other nutrients, which affects how much of those nutrients growers need to use and when they need to apply them. “At some point, they’ll need to increase the amount of these other nutrients applied to their fields as yields contin-

ue to increase,” Vyn said. Vyn and Ciampitti also found that the timing of nutrient uptake is important for predicting yield and nutrient efficiencies. Vyn said it would be economically beneficial to identify simple, early-stage plant traits that could be measured to predict final yield, but the earliest they could predict yield with even 50 percent certainty was at flowering, much later than hoped. “It’s desirable to estimate yield and nutrient efficiency of new genotypes at an early stage, but you have to wait until flowering time,” Vyn said. “You need to wait until flowering stage for most of the total potassium uptake to be present in the plant and recognize that proportion-

Economist: Livestock producers... continued from page 28

ally more phosphorus than nitrogen uptake can occur later in modern corn hybrids. But all nutrient uptake rates are dependent on the specific interactions of hybrids with their environment and management factors like plant density and soil nutrient availability.” Ciampitti said biomass and nutrients were measured for two weeks before, at and two weeks after, flowering in an effort to predict yield. Those periods were crucial because it is the time in which most corn biomass is made in modern hybrids when water is not limiting. The results of the studies were reported in two journal articles. The review of

nitrogen source changes was published in Crop Science. Nutrient

accumulation and partitioning results were published in Agronomy Journal.

feed to fuel has increased feed prices for livestock producers, Taheripour said, but the ethanol industry in the United States has now reached the Renewable Fuel Standard mandated level. This may mean little growth in corn use for ethanol in coming years. An ethanol production byproduct, dried distillers grains, has been used for livestock feed, helping to somewhat mitigate feed price increases. However, this offset was not large enough to keep feed prices from rising sharply. In coming years, any new growth in corn production could go toward livestock producers, which will likely help them with feed prices. “During the past 10 years, ethanol expansion contributed to feed price increases, but now it will not push feed prices upward,” Taheripour said. “In the future, livestock producers may struggle with other factors that affect feed prices, but because of the lack of increased demand in the ethanol industry, they will likely see

lower overall feed prices.” Taheripour said livestock producers would also face increased demand for meat in countries such as China and India, which have booming populations and are becoming wealthier. Those countries are expected to demand more pork and chicken since those products are cheaper than beef. One issue that could affect livestock producers is cellulosic biofuels produced from dedicated energy crops. If that technology becomes economically feasi-

ble, Taheripour said there would be competition for land currently used to grow livestock feed. Converting some of that land to cellulosic

biofuel feedstocks could once again drive up feed prices. Taheripour’s findings were published in the Journal Animal Frontier.

Wildlife, was designed to encourage families to experience trout fishing. The event was scheduled to coincide with the first of a series of Free Fishing Days offered by the DNR during which neither a fishing license nor a trout stamp is required. About 400 rainbow trout were stocked the day before into Wyland Lake, a 6-acre natural lake in TriCounty Fish & Wildlife Area. The trout were raised at the DNR Curtis Creek trout rearing station in LaGrange County. Only anglers under age 18 or any adults who accompanied them were allowed to fish during the event. Most anglers were from the local area

but a few came from as far away as Silver Lake and Wakarusa. Anglers caught 25 trout up to 12 inches long. About half of the families fished from boats and half fished off a large pier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased with the turnout,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Roth, manager of the Tri-County FWA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some cases, it provides an opportunity for an adult to take a kid fishing who otherwise might not go if they had to buy a license.â&#x20AC;? Roth said he plans to continue the Youth Trout Fishing Day in 2014. The next Free Fishing Day in Indiana is May 18. Various events throughout the state will be held to promote family fishing.
