THE PAPER May 18, 2011

EDG withdraws CEDIT fund request Bill Konyha, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, Inc. (EDG) announced that its Board of Directors voted to withdraw its request for CEDIT funds to retain the consulting services of former State Representative William J. Ruppel. “The EDG staff and board continue to believe that Bill Ruppel is a valuable resource and that he would have provided substantial benefit to our efforts to expand and diversify our economy.” However, Konyha noted that the recession caused a drop of nearly 21 percent in local income tax revenues, including CEDIT. “We have at least two projects that will require an investment of CEDIT funds to leverage new private sector capital investment creating primary and secondary jobs,” Konyha noted. It is essential Wabash County retains as much of the CEDIT funding as possible for projects that will directly create jobs. “In addition,” Konyha added, “we are seeking grant funding to reduce the cost of infrastructure development in the Business Park and CEDIT dollars will be required to match the grant funds.” EDG had intended to have Bill Ruppel use his extensive contacts within the state of Indiana to seek opportunities to provide direct funding for the business park and other economic development initiatives. Konyha believed that this “low cost” effort could increase the effectiveness of EDG’s efforts to raise state funding and reduce costs. The Economic Development Group of Wabash County, Inc. is the not for profit provider of economic development services for Wabash County, the City of Wabash, and the Town of North Manchester.

Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Wabash gives special recognition to small businesses by Danielle Smith On May 13, Wabash C o u n t y Commissioner Scott Givens stood on the steps of the Wabash County Courthouse with Mayor Robert Vanlandingham and proclaimed May 16-20 to be Small Business Appreciation Week. The Wabash County and North M a n c h e s t e r Chambers of Commerce initiated this recognition week in order to celebrate the contributions that small businesses make to our county. Following the reading of the proclamation, Mayor Vanlandingham commented on the excellent service provided by Wabash small businesses. He recalled an instance when he purchased a grill from one of those local small businesses, True Value, Wabash. “They put it together for me, delivered it to my house put it on my back patio, fired it up to make sure it was working, and a year or two later I had a little problem and they came and took care of it,” he recalled. “They do that for this community all the time.”

More than 50 Wabash County small businesses will participate in this week’s festivities by offering sales, refreshments, door prizes and more. Givens joined his fellow commissioners on May 16 for their weekly meeting to discuss County business. The meeting began with County Highway Superintendent John Martin presenting a utility permit request with Town of Lagro Superintendent Scott Siders. The permit is for reconstruction of sewer infrastructure, which will be funded by the final of three grants received by the Town of Lagro. The commissioners granted the request. Wabash County E m e r g e n c y Management Agency (EMA) and Central Dispatch Director Bob Brown gave the Commissioners a report on the recent rainfall. He reported that the Wabash River crest measured 9.97 feet on May 16. The highest recorded crest was 18.48 ft. in 1996. The Eel River measured 10.93 ft. He also reported that an area of Mill Street, between Market and

County Planning Director Mike Howard presented an

additional procreation request for legal fees to Attorney Larry Thrush. The additional cost is

attributed to changes in forms needed to declare a premise to be unsafe and demolish said premise. The

Plan Commission has generated $108,000 for the County since they began collecting fees (continued on page 7)

Community Foundation grants to nonprofits exceed $41,000 Wabash County nonprofit organizations continue to diligently work to fulfill their missions despite challenging economic conditions. Donors are able to help them fight hunger, preserve local history and natural treasures, promote arts and culture, and support many other services through their gifts to the Community Foundation of Wabash County’s Unrestricted Funds. “The Grants Committee of the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County carefully selects grant recipients during each of our grant cycles,” says Foundation Executive Director Sally Benson. “Earnings from Unrestricted

Endowments (otherwise known as the Foundation’s “Good Deeds” Endowments) provide the majority of funding for the competitive grants awarded three times a year. Other funding may be provided from field of interest endowments and donor advised funds held at the Foundation.” In its first cycle of 2011, the Foundation awarded $41,657.95 to 18 area educational institutions, organizations, and groups serving Wabash County. Grant recipients include: American Legion Post #15 ($1,000) Handicap Ramp The Thomas Steinman American Legion Post has been in Wabash since 1919. It is a veterans’ organ-

ization serving as a home for any veteran to visit for fellowship with other veterans. There are many disabled veterans that have served the country and cannot visit their Legion due to the lack of handicap accessibility. The handicap ramp will allow disabled veterans to visit their Legion home. Community Services of North Manchester ($1,500) - Manchester Recreation Association Scoreboards The Manchester R e c r e a t i o n Association (MRA) was formed with the intent to serve residents of the North Manchester area with softball and baseball programs. Well over 1,000 people use the

fields each year for high school games, leagues, and tournaments. MRA scoreboards will allow the community focused organization to continue to host games and tournaments and properly serve all involved. Education for Conflict Resolution ($3,000) - Peace Learning Connection for Manchester Community Schools 2011-12 For nearly 25 years, Education for Conflict Resolution has sought to put the skills to resolve conflict peacefully and productively into the hands of as many people as possible. The Peace Learning Connection (PLC) trains fourthgrade students to respond to affronts by

taking control of the situation through the use of a dialogue. The PLC employs interactive exercises and a high ratio of adults to students in order to train these skills intensively in one day. Family Services Society ($2,875) Empowering Domestic Violence Victims and Youth Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc., has provided comprehensive domestic violence and sexual violence victim’s advocacy services in Wabash County since 1994 including a victim’s advocate, 24-hour hotline and safe shelter. Hands of Hope will use funding to continue a weekly support group called WEND. WEND provides 10 hours per week for

prevention education and buys t-shirts for youth and craft materials for youth to make posters about healthy relationships to display in their school hallways, reinforcing presentations facilitated by Hands of Hope education staff. Learn More Center ($5,000) - Efficient Effective Education The Learn More Center was created to provide adult basic education in Wabash County. The center serves students 16 years of age and up and assists them in improving their literacy levels, attaining GEDs, learning computer literacy skills, and/or transitioning to post-secondary education and training opportunities.

Wabash County GIS announces Schneider Corporation’s Beacon website

Wabash County GIS recently announced its implementation of the enhanced Beacon map engine would take affect the week of May 16. Wabash County GIS is updating the existBeacon map ing engine that will enhance the user experience when working with the map, improving existing and expanding functionality that users are accustom to using. This upgrade of the

Beacon map engine is now able to support multiple map server technologies, like Arc Server dynamic and tile caches, WMS, ESRI Base Maps, Google base maps, along with other pluggable architectures. It can support all modern map services, as well as adapting to future services. As an industry leading application, Beacon map engine works on multiple platforms, including all modern mobile devices. Users

will see improved navigation, new tools, and expanded map; therefore, harnessing the best parts of backend technologies and data services, delivering a seamless experience to all. Beacon gives users 24/7 access to a variety of integrated local government data including GIS, appraisal and tax information, and the data is updated daily. Beacon streamlines how the public interfaces with local gov-

ernment offices by consolidating searches of multiple offices into just one query that can be conducted from any computer or mobile device. The result is a more efficient way to obtain up-to-date information, as well as providing search, reporting and printer-friendly features. Beacon is used by over 250,000 unique users monthly searching more than 200 local governments, accessing 6.5 million

parcels with an assessed value of $803 billion. On average, it saves individual user communities more than 25 hours per day in staff time – the equivalent of three full-time employees – normally spent servicing requests for the now information available on a selfservice basis via the Beacon portal. The Wabash County GIS Committee is excited to be partnered with the S c h n e i d e r

Farmers forced to make tough tillage decisions as rain continues

As the wet spring continues to delay planting in Indiana, grain farmers are faced with tough decisions about their intended tillage operations. As of May 1, just 2 percent of Indiana’s corn crop and 13 percent of the national acreage had been planted. Once the ground is dry enough for farmers to work in the fields, some tillage operations may need to be sacrificed, said Purdue Extension Agronomist Tony Vyn. “The major question this season is, ‘How should my intended tillage program change in response to the current realities of saturated soils within fields, the weather forecast and the calendar?’” he said. “Overall, the most essential aspects of tillage management for corn planting in Indiana and surrounding states over the next few weeks will be to exercise caution, control weeds and enhance seedbed quality where possible.” Important to the choice of tillage systems is limiting soil damage and rootrestricting soil layers during tillage or corn planting. “It is essential to leave the soil condition with the maximum opportunity for unimpeded corn root development,” Vyn said. “Potential corn yields can be compromised more by poor soil structure following poor tillage choices from now on than they have been by lost

planting days thus far.” Poor tillage choices can include wrong tool selection, operation timing, tillage depth and frequency. While corn farmers cannot control the rain on their fields, Vyn said they do have control over tillage and planting systems. Those choices now represent the principal soil management decisions required to get corn plants off to a healthy, though delayed, start. Vyn gave recommendations farmers should consider when they decide how to handle 2011 tillage operations: - Tillage operations in specific fields depend on the amounts needed for satisfactory weed con-

trol. As air temperatures warm, weed growth continues on fields that did not receive recent residual herbicide applications. Generally, herbicide sprayers should precede tillage and planting operations in fields that are not going to receive intensive, full-width tillage this spring. - Surface roughness left after fall tillage operations in 2010

constrain tillage options in May. Effectively, soil conditions need to be fit down to, and at least an inch below, the intended tillage depth, before secondary tillage is advised. Farmers will need to be more patient in delaying secondary tillage operations if they have fields with rough soil surfaces. - Stale seedbed (continued on page 4)

Corporation to provide data with the new Beacon map engine. As the features of the new map engine are implemented we extend our help to all users.

Please feel free to contact the members of Wabash County GIS with any questions regarding navigation of the Beacon website.

Thank You! to my committee & my supporters for aiding in my primary victory. - James Cosby 4309

trained to keep the thousands of individuals who visit these facilities safe. With many families considering more local vacation spots because of the increased fuel and travel costs this year local facilities anticipate and increase in attendance through hot summer the months. And with more kids and adults visiting facilities more lifeguards will be needed to ensure they all have a fun and safe experience. Lifeguards provide a variety of skills at local aquatic facilities including enforcing safety policies, ensur-

ing for the safety of all swimmers, providing basic first aid and teaching swimming and water safety techniques. This year, through a local collaboration among the YMCA of Wabash County, the City of Wabash Parks Department and the American Red Cross North Central of Indiana individuals wanting to become a lifeguard will have an opportunity to take training at the YMCA facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each year we have supported lifeguard at the training Honeywell Pool, but the weather was always a factor with

an outdoor pool. This opportunity at the YMCA will be a vast improvement in offering this training,â&#x20AC;? said Mitch Figert, executive director of the American Red Cross of North Central Indiana. Nick Eccles, an American Red Cross certified instructor, will offer the course to anyone 16 years of age or older. Participants should feel comfortable in the water and have basic swimming skills. During the course participants will learn swimming techniques, rescue strategies, CPR and AED skills, basic first

aid and more. The course will be held at the YMCA of Wabash County and the course schedule will be as follows (participants must be able to attend all sessions): May 20, 6 - 10 p.m.; May 21, 8 a.m. - noon and 2 - 10 p.m.; May 22, 2 - 8 p.m.; May 28, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.; and May 29, 2 - 10 p.m. Because of the collaborative efforts of the YMCA of Wabash County, the City of Wabash and the American Red Cross the course fee has been reduced. Participants wanting to register for the course can contact the American Red Cross

at 260-563-2658 or visit their website at www.redcrossofnci.or g. Participants may also contact the Wabash County YMCA, at 260-5639622, or Wabash City Parks Superintendent Todd Titus, at 260-5634171, for more information on the course.

Moonlight Garden Club announces return of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yard of the Monthâ&#x20AC;? awards The Moonlight Garden Club will once again honor local gardeners with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yard of the Monthâ&#x20AC;? distinction. This is the 11th year the club has honored gardeners for having unusual and beautiful gardens throughout

the City of Wabash. Club officials said they want to reward the hard work of amateur gardeners to help promote an interest in gardening, landscaping improvement and civic beauty. Eligible gardeners include those who live

in the Wabash city limits. Some professional landscaping services are allowed, but cannot be the home of someone who has professional services. Gardens are judged on criteria such as creative use of space,

assortment of flowers, shrubs and trees, inclusion of vegetables and herbs, overall theme, color attractiveness, extended seasonal appeal, accessories and landscape design. A yard will be chosen in June, July and

August. The honored homeowners will have a sign placed in their yard and a photo taken. To nominate a garden, you can contact Jeni at 563-7796 or indycolts_2_win@yah oo.com or you can find us on Facebook.

tillage depth, before secondary tillage is advised. Farmers will need to be more patient in delaying secondary tillage operations if they have fields with rough soil surfaces. - Stale seedbed planting often reduces seedbed compaction damage and enables earlier planting. In situations where the soil surface is smooth enough to permit planting corn seed

at uniform depths and where timely weed control can be achieved, stale seedbed planting should be considered. Prime candidate fields for stale seedbed planting might be those fields where secondary tillage, but not planting, was completed in the first half of April this year. - A single, shallow and well-timed tillage operation is

preferred if preplant tillage is deemed necessary. As long as the first tillage operation following weeks of rain delays is done at a soil moisture condition when tillage can make a suitable seedbed, and when emerged weeds can be killed, no further secondary tillage operations should be required. No-till corn planting remains a viable option. The probability of successful yields with no-till does not decline with later planting dates; if anything, the relative yield potential of no-till corn increases versus corn yields likely to be achieved after more intensive tillage operations. - Vertical tillage systems may speed surface soil drying. Typically, shallow and high-speed vertical tillage operations may help to speed up the rate of surface soil drying when there is nonuniform residue cover or rain-matted residue cover.

- Spring striptillage operations should be shallow. If farmers can wait until soil conditions are fit down to a 4or 5-inch depth and have the equipment options to do shallow strip-till in spring, there can be corn yield advantages associated with doing so. - Precise automatic guidance tools provide new opportunities to limit soil compaction in the actual corn rows. Use of the real-time kinetic, or RTK, steering systems enable corn farmers to precisely control where the wheel tracks will occur before planting. Vynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complete list of recommendations can be found in the April 29 issue of Purdue Extensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pest and Crop Newsletter at http://extension.en tm.purdue.edu/pest crop/2011/issue4/in dex.html#tillage.

Chamber launches member recruitment event The board of directors of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce is in the midst of their Race for C h a m p i o n s Membership Drive. The last organized drive was in the fall of 2007. The membership drive will be conducted by current Chamber board members and supporters. It will be under the direction of Membership Chair Cruz and Rachel Chamber Board Chair Mark Sapusek. The drive will kick-off on May 19, and conclude with an orientation luncheon for new members on June 16. The Wabash Chamber currently has just over 300 members out of the approximately 1,100 Wabash area businesses. In an effort to provide the

benefits and services our businesses and local community desire, the Chamber is seeking to broaden its membership and volunteer base. Your Chamber programs community support and business efforts and provide a broad voice to our governentities. mental Contrary to public opinion, the Chamber is not affiliated with any governmental entity and receives no government funding. Membership investments and program builders are the revenue sources for the organization. Chamber activities include professional seminars for employee development, business counseling insurance services, discount programs, shop local promotions,

legislative advocacy, networking events, business web links, electronic communications such as weekly updates and monthly newsletters, membership awards and recognitions such as Farm Family of the Year, Small Business Appreciation Day and Business of the Year, ribbon-cuttings, resource connections for business expancommunity sion, resource directories and information, certificates of origin, and a home and business exposition, to name a few. The Schapiro Group conducted a study on the real value of joining a local Chamber of Commerce. The study was commissioned by the American Chamber of Commerce

executives and the Small Business Network, Inc. The following list demonstrates quantifications of chamber membership not only as a benefit to the community, but as a business strategy: - Most consumers (59 percent) think that being active in the local chamber of commerce is an effective business strategy overall. It is 29 percent more effective, however, for communicating to consumers that a company uses good business practices and 26 percent more effective for communicating that a business is reputable. - If a company shows that it is highly involved in its local chamber (e.g., sits on the chamber board),

Statewide ban on texting and driving takes effect July 1

Beginning July 1, it will be illegal for any Hoosier driver to text while behind the wheel. Governor Mitch Daniels signed legislation that prohibits the use of any telecommunications device to type, transmit or read text messages or e-mail while operating a moving motor vehicle. Drivers are, however, permitted to use hands-free or voice operated technology to perform these functions. As a primary enforcement law, police will now be able to ticket a driver solely on the basis of texting while driving. Offenders could also face a fine of up to $500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drivers who use hand-held devices are four times more likely to be involved in a collision serious enough to cause injury,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Klitzsch, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Traffic Safety Division director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This legislation is an important step in our efforts to ensure the safety of all Hoosier motorists.â&#x20AC;? Driver distractions accounted for more than 7,800 collisions on Indiana roadways in 2009. In fact, distracted driving crashes cost the state $257.5 million dollars in that year alone.

The sorority has 117 active chapters and 23 alumna chapters in 17 provinces throughout the United States and Canada. A new chapter, Xi Sigma, in San Antonio, Texas, was installed in 2010. Delegates from the local Nu chapter were Colleen Hollenback, Bonnie Corn and Linda Gabel. Local members in attendance this weekend were Alice Martin and Sue Holmes. The Province officers were: President Renee Chenault, Nu,

Wabash; Secretary Jill Marconi, Alpha Mu, Peru; Editor Nancy Easterday, Alpha Mu, Peru; Organizer Chris Clugh-Thomas, Alpha Delta, Lafayette; and Counselor Della Alpha Kochert, Delta, Lafayette. The visiting international officer was Cindy Stath, international organizer, Alpha Phi Chapter, Xi Province, Chicago, Ill.

The chapters in Alpha Province donated a total of 3,031.5 service hours, 5,411 service miles and a total of

$28,103.53 in 2010 to service projects in their local communities. The Province Service Fund of $406 was given to Alpha Chapter, Hartford City.

The other charity receiving $203 was the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Books are mailed to children in Blackford County

Wabash gives special recognition... Continued from front page for permits. The Commissioners granted Howard’s request. County Attorney Steve Downs gave updates on various resolutions that he is working on including one regarding the implementation of a speed limit near Hanging Rock. He also reminded the Commissioners of the upcoming public hearing regarding the transfer of a Ferry Street property to a nonprofit property. C o u n t y Coordinator Jim Dils presented various options for providing electricity to the desks in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room, which is currently under construction. One option would

require that the desks be permanently stationary and another option would create more flexibility. Dils and the Commissioners are further investigating the cost difference between these options. Wabash County Auditor Jane Ridgeway presented an updated disclosure report from R.P. Murphy regarding the establishment of the Laketon Area Sewer District. This district now becomes an entity of it’s own and will have it’s own board of directors. She also presented the 2012 request for appropriations for Otis R. Bowen Center. This is a state-mandated appropriation

based on assessed value. The request is for $180,630, which is approximately $6,000 more than 2011. The meeting was wrapped up with a report from the director of Wabash County Council on Aging, Beverly Ferry. She gave an update on the changes that Wabash County Transit is making to comply with their recent review. She informed the Commissioners that they are being proactive and taking each requirement one step further than necessary. For example, INDOT requested that they publish on all of their literature that they are an “equal opportunity provider”, so

Grays encourage local participation in tornado assistance effort Dear editor, As many of you know, tornadoes ripped through Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia last week, leaving a devastating trail of destruction behind. In Alabama alone, 38 of its 64 (over half) counties have been declared disaster areas. Right now there is an estimated $2-5 billion worth of damage. These storms also set the second-deadliest day for a tornado outbreak in U.S. history – 337. There were also thousands of people injured. Entire neighborhoods are completely flattened and there is debris and trash everywhere. Animals and unclaimed pets are roaming streets. Power lines are down and even a week after the storms took place, people are still without power. In Tuscaloosa, Ala., alone, there are thousands of people left homeless and the amount of people displaced is straining available relief. Most all of the shelters that

have been set up to help the tornado victims are full and are having to reluctantly turn away people. NPR reports that there have been grants and loans approved for about $14 million to assist people in need through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), but that is barely a dent in the estimated $2-5 billion worth of damage. A week after the tornadoes, neighborhood cleanup actions have barely begun and an increase of looting has occurred because of the dire desperation of supplies. Residents have claimed that FEMA was setting up appointments to hand out relief, but immediate help was not coming soon enough. The stories of the victims are absolutely heartbreaking. One mother is quoted saying about her two young children, “They tell me, ‘Momma, I wanna go home,’ and I just want to cry, because I have no idea

where home is anymore.” A spokesperson from a medical center that is being used as a shelter said, “People came (as if) from a jungle, walking in the darkness over the ruins...There were people everywhere, in the conference rooms, corridors, cafeteria.” Another victim, waiting to find out what FEMA assistance they qualify for, said the constant instability left them physically and emotionally exhausted. “You know, sometimes I just want to break down and cry, but I can’t because I have to be strong for her. And this is going on almost a week now. I’m just frustrated and tired.” It is not just homes that were destroyed in the storms. Schools and places of work were destroyed as well. There are children that have no place to go to finish their last month of school. Families are left income-less because their place of business has been destroyed or closed due

to damages. A local business has donated a full-size cargo van to me to use to transport needed supplies to donation sites in Alabama. My goal is to fill up the van completely and take it to one of the many sites and shelters around Tuscaloosa accepting items. The I have places researched and will be dropping off to, hands out these items to victims for free. Several places also use the food materials to prepare hot meals for those who cannot provide them for their selves. Below is a collective list of goods that several sites are collecting: - Ready to eat and non-perishable food items - Tarps for covering roofs - Clothing (especially underwear, socks, and new or VERY gently worn tennis shoes) - Newborn and baby items including diapers, formula, diaper cream, and baby powder and wipes

your time to reading this and an advanced thanks for your donations and support. Colin Gray SSgt USAF 31IS It would be difficult to collect the needed items; financial gifts would be more helpful. If you want to give through my church in order to use it as a tax deduction, we will accept your donation and make sure it gets to Colin. Send it to: First Brethren Church c/o Colin’s Relief Fund, 411 N. Huntington St., Wabash, IN 46992. Be sure to make the check out to the church. Or if you want to send directly to Colin, send your gift to: 625 Lory Lane, Grovetown, GA 30813. If you provide your return address with your gift, Colin will respond by letting you know the kind of supplies he purchased and the responses of those receiving the supplies. Thank you for your support. We know God will honor your generosity. Dan Gray Wabash

- Collars - Leashes - Bowls - Bags of dog/cat food - Canned dog/cat food - Treats These materials do not have to be bought; they can simply be something from your house that you might have extra of. You might have five flashlights, an extra package of toilet paper, or that can of soup you have in the pantry for when you run out of other groceries. The things the sites are requesting give you an idea how bad it is there. Something, anything that you can donate will go a long way for the people in need. This is a chance to help those in need. Hopefully we can fill the van at least once, the more trips the better though. Our first trip will be May 14 to the Tuscaloosa, Ala., area. If there are any questions, comments, or interest in helping, please email me or call me. I do work mids, so if I do not pick up, leave a message and I will get back with you in the early evening.

Councilman expresses concern about abuse of “bath salts” Dear editor, There is a new currently legal product on the market locally that seems to be taking the local area by storm. “Bath salts” are being sold at several local retailers including smoke shops and convenience stores, and they are being purchased by young people and used in various ways to get “high”. The local law enforcement and emergency room personnel are dealing with people who use this product on a seemingly daily basis, and the dangers of this product are unknown at this time. There is no test available to law enforcement as there is with longtime illicit drugs. The substance has an appearance similar to other powdered illicit drugs that are being used recreationally. The following information was taken from the WebMD Internet site: WebMD talked to Zane Horowitz, MD, an emergency room physician and medical director of the Oregon Poison Center, about what they are and why you should avoid them. First of all, what are bath salts? “The presumption is that most bath salts are MDPV, or m e t hy l e n e d i o x y p y rovalerone, although newer pyrovalerone derivatives are being made by illegal street chemists. Nobody really knows, because there is no way to test for these substances,” Horowitz says. Why are they called

bath salts? “It’s confusing. Is this what we put in our bathtubs, like Epsom salts? No. But by marketing them as bath salts and labeling them ‘not for human they consumption,’ have been able to avoid them being specifically enumerated as illegal,” Horowitz says. Are bath salts illegal? “You can find them in mini-marts and smoke shops sold as Ivory Wave, Bolivian Bath and other names,” Horowitz says. “The people who make these things have skirted the laws that make these types of things illegal. While several states have banned the sale of bath salts, ultimately it will have to be a federal law that labels these as a schedule 1 drug, which means it has no medicinal value but a high potential for abuse, and declare them illegal.” What do you experience when you take bath salts? “Agitation, paranoia, hallucinations, chest pain, suicidality. It’s a very scary stimulant that is out there. We get high blood pressure and increased pulse, but there’s something more, something different that’s causing these other extreme effects. But right now, there’s no test to pick up this drug. The only way we know if someone has taken them is if they tell you they have. The clinical presentation is similar to mephedrone [a chemical found in other designer drugs], with agitation, psychosis,

and stimulatory effects. Both of these agents should be of concern, as severe agitated behavior, like an amphetamine overdose, has occurred. A second concern is the ongoing suicidality in these patients, even after the stimulatory effects of the drugs have worn off. At least for MDPV, there have been a few highly publicized suicides a few days after their use,” Horowitz says. Are bath salts addictive? How are they taken? “We don’t know if they are addictive. We have not had enough long-term experience with it. Acute toxicity is the main problem. But many stimulants do cause a craving. The people who take them are very creative. They snort it, shoot it, mix it with food and drink,” Horowitz says. The above information was found after a short time researching this product, after seeing an increase in its use in the local area. Several States have taken emergency legislative action to ban the sale of bath salts in their states. I am contacting state representatives to see if the same can be done in Indiana, while in the interim as a City Councilman I am working with the city attorney and police department to establish a local ordinance banning the sale of Bath Salts in Wabash. I have witnessed

Devore family welcomes two

Andrea DeVore and Ryan Young, Nappanee, are the parents of a daughter born March 7 at 8:19 a.m. Mary Elizabeth Young weighed 6 pounds, 11 1/2 ounces, and was 19 1/2 inches long. Grandparents are Gary and Nancy DeVore, Wabash, and Dennis and Sharon Young, Plymouth.

Tim and April DeVore, Wabash, are the parents of a son born March 2 at 9:24 p.m. Zachary Leonel DeVore weighed 5 pounds, 15 ounces, and was 17 inches long. He joins a brother, Dillon DeVore, and a sister, Emily DeVore. His mother is the former April Graves. Grandparents are Lora Martin, Wabash; Tony Graves, Walkerton; and Nancy and Gary DeVore, Wabash.

people as young as 16 suffering the effects of bath salts and have also witnessed chronic drug users who are now using this “legal” alternative to meth. The effects listed above, agitation, psychosis, and paranoia are what I have witnessed personally. I am encouraging parents, friends and other family members to become aware of this product and others like it on the market that young people are abusing to get “high”, and encouraging them to seek help for the person using them. It appears that these substances like so many others are becoming addictive and before long they too will become deadly either through overdose, combining them with illicit street drugs, or by way of a person under the influence causing a traffic accident. I would encourage everyone to take notice when you are shopping in local convenience stores to see if the establishment is selling these types of products, and if you so choose, seek out a convenience store that does not sell

them to shop at. The only way the owners of these stores will get the message that we as a community are tired of them pedaling a product that is harming our youth, is if we hit them where

it hurts: the wallet. I have tried, as have other parents, to get the owners of the stores selling these items to take them off the shelf. So far we have been unsuccessful, and one owner

flatly refused to remove the product. Let them know we don’t like it, and we will not frequent their business if they continue to sell it. Scott A. Long Wabash

INDIANA STATE POLICE OFFICERS and their families participated in Chicago Police Memorial Foundation’s 2011“Run to Remember”. This year, the run was dedicated to Master Trooper David Rich, who died in the line of duty on July 5, 2007. (photo provided) Seventy members of the Indiana State Police and their families participated in the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation 2011 7th annual “Run to Remember” on April 30. The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance to families of fallen heroes, as well as providing assis-

tance to catastrophically injured officers. This year the Indiana State Police dedicated their run in memory of the Master Trooper Detective David Rich, who died July 5, 2007. Detective Rich stopped to assist a disabled vehicle on U.S. 24 in Wabash County. He was in plain clothes and in an unmarked car. As Rich approached the

vehicle, the only occupant opened fire with a shotgun, mortally wounding him. Rich was a 17-year veteran of the department and is survived by his wife, a daughter, and twin boys. The suspect then shot and killed himself with the same shotgun. It was later learned the suspect had stolen the car from his father a day earlier.

The run began and concluded at the Gold Star Families Memorial Park, which is adjacent to Soldier’s Field. The course, a 5-K run or 3K walk, was set along beautiful Lake Shore Drive. The Indiana State Police placed fourth out of 46 teams in the overall team challenge. This was their fourth year participating in the event.

Indiana residents may use online application process for handgun licenses There has been a little confusion as to the new online application process for an Indiana handgun license. The handgun license application process can be done by Indiana residents online with access through the website, www.in.gov/isp. If a computer is not

available the applicant can go to their local library for the online application process only. After the online application has been completed, the applicant will be given an 877 number to call to set up a time for an electronic finger printing process, which does have an

additional charge. Wabash City and Wabash County residents can have this portion of the process completed for no additional charge by the applicant’s local police agency. Those within the city can call the Wabash City Police Department at 260563-1112, or County

residents can call the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department at 260-563-8891. An appointment will be set up for the applicant to finish the process where prints will be taken and the local and state fees will be collected.

Wabash man dies in Miami County crash On May 14 at approximately 3:25 a.m., officers from the Indiana State Police, the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department and the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department responded to a single vehicle crash on SR 124 near CR 625 E, which killed a Wabash man. Preliminary inves-

tigation by Trooper Mike Lorona revealed that Roger Grim, 41, Wabash, was driving 1999 Oldsmobile Bravado eastbound on SR 124. He failed to negotiate a curve near CR 625 E, and traveled into a yard on the east side of the road. The Oldsmobile struck a fuel tank, causing it to go airborne, landing

on its top. The Oldsmobile slid, on its top, approximately 323 feet smashing through a barn wall. The Oldsmobile came to rest after striking a pickup truck that was parked inside the barn. Grimm was pronounced dead at the scene by Miami County Coroner Todd

Burns. Grim suffered massive head and internal injuries. Grimm was wearing a seat belt, but the impact from crash was too severe for him to survive. This crash is still under investigation, but excessive speed is believed to be a contributing factor.

Indiana law enforcement agencies increase speed patrols

In an effort to reduce the number of speed-related deaths and injuries on Hoosier roadways, the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) has awarded Dangerous Driving Enforcement (DDE) grants to 29 local law enforcement agencies, including the Indiana State Police, to aggressively target speeding motorists. Motorists can expect to see a greater police presence on roadways beginning this month, as participating agencies increase their efforts to target and ticket motorists who drive above posted speed limits. While speed enforcement is a year-round priority, many law enforcement agencies will be stepping up their efforts over the coming weeks.

Couch addresses effectiveness of regulating classrooms Dear editor, Over the last few weeks and months, we Hoosiers have been bombarded with all kinds of criticisms of our public schools and the blame has been heaped on the teachers, administrators, parents, genetics and you can add the receivers of blame to the list; there are many. Would you allow me to add the one I hold most to blame? The charge and responsibility for public education in Indiana is the state, and more pointedly, the General Assembly and governor. By our federal constitution and the

Indiana Constitution, public education is the responsibility of the State Government. Over the last 50 years, the State of Indiana has given us, local schools, the following: frozen tax levies, thawed tax levies, school consolidation laws, teacher laws, negotiations schools financed by property taxes mainly, schools financed through sales taxes and gambling money and these are only a few, but the biggies. After all, the state certifies the following: textbook adoptions, all school budgets, all cer-

tified teachers, all certified administrators, all school building projects, all school bonding to build buildings, all G.O. bonds must be backed by insurance, and this is just the beginning. I think that most citizens of Indiana try to abide by the laws. Those laws are passed by the General Assembly and signed by the Governor. Most school people I have known have tried to abide by the laws. The parents and school personnel did not vote on or write those laws, but after they were passed the citizens that I have

known tried their hardest to abide with those laws. They didn’t like a lot of them, but they did a pretty good job in carrying them out. Now comes the big blame, and it is obviously there, and that is “we” voted for those guys and gals. We voted the General for Assembly members. Wow! Have you ever heard one of those General Assembly members ever take any part of the blame? I have not heard it one time in 60 years. Now we are engaged in a struggle that we

have too many buildings for the enrollment we have. Imagine that! Remember, live birth data, every year will tell us and the General Assembly who was born, where he was born, what nationality he was, etc. Our enrollment should not be a surprise to anyone who was looking, and then one more thing, G.A. passed a law that the money followed the student. The student could transfer to the school of his choice and the money would follow. That sounds nice to the early ear,

but the “un” or “in” tended result is devastating to some schools and wonderful for others. Bottom line is this: we elected them. We must accept that fact, but from that line on, let’s not place the blame on just teachers, just parents, just administrators, just school boards and finally, genetics. Genetics do have a part to play especially when it seems elitism is the buzzword of the

The best schoolroom I ever saw was just a simple classroom with 20 or 25 kids, the best teacher you could find, pay the teacher the best you can, legally, give them a comfortable classroom and then, (drum roll), get out of the classroom and let that great teacher teach. That solves most problems. William J. Couch Warren

Frances Slocum Chapter of DAR met April 12 The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the A m e r i c a n Revolution (DAR) was held on April 12 in the Blocher Room of the North Manchester Public Library. Eight members and two guests were present. Devotions were given by Sue Potter,

who read an obituary of Jesus Christ. It summarized his life in the form of present day obituaries. The National Defender report was given by the State Chaplain Miriam Harter Carnahan, L a g r a n g e County. She reported that earlier this month Defense

Secretary Robert M. Gates told an audience of West Point cadets that it would be unwise for the United States to ever fight another war like Iraq or Afghanistan, and that the chances of carrying out a change of government in that fashion again were slim. That reality, he

said, meant that the Army would have to reshape its budget, since potential conflicts in places like Asia or the Persian Gulf were more likely to be fought with air and sea power, rather than with conventional ground forces. Joyce Joy read the President General’s message from Merry

Thompson Ann Wright. This spring our President General traveled the center part of the country, from the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico to states bordering of Canada. She said while the temperatures and the landscapes were very different, the members of the DAR are the

same everywhere – warm, welcoming and energized by their work to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism. Regent Jean Wright asked the officers from this year to remain in office for next year and all agreed to continue to serve. Certificates of membership in DAR were presented to the following women: Frances Elizabeth Lowell Kip, 68 years; Marguerite Troyer Guenin, 65 years; Gladys Myers Hall, 65 years; Avonne Lee Reed Knecht, 56 years; Marjorie M. Rosenthal Stoffer, 56 years; Dora Marie Russell Denniston, 38 years; Johannah Clark Kunkler Kaufman, 38 years; Joyce Amanda Middleton Joy, 37 years; Jean Guenin Wright, 31 years, Crystal Hostetler Huitema, 30 years; and Mildred Yarnelle Paullus, 27 years. Regent Wright thanked those present for all of their years of service. Certificates were mailed to those not able to attend. Miriam Harter Carnahan, State Chaplain, gave the program entitled “Daughters: Who We Are and What We Do”. She told the members that on Oct. 11, 1890, 18 women met to officially organize the National Society Daughters of the A m e r i c a n Revolution with historic, educational and patriotic objectives. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, the First Lady, became the first president of the DAR. In 1896 the Society was incorporated by an Act of Congress. The Society is now in its second century of service to the nation. Over 850,000 women have become members since then, with current membership near 170,000 in 3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 11 countries. The annual convention is named after the original Continental Congress and

attracts over 4,000 members to Washington DC each summer. Chapters stay busy marking historical buildings, places, events and graves. Genealogical records, local and state histories are in the DAR Library containing over 10,000 books, periodicals and unpublished transcripts. It is used regularly by people from all over the world. Daughters have adopted the U.S. Military Hospital at Landsthul, Germany, and provide letters, cards and comfort items along with phone cards to service men and women recovering from battlefield wounds. Chapters around the state support their closest VA hospitals and treatment centers by volunteering hours and donating comfort items and handmade lap robes. In our H i s t o r i c Preservation objective, DAR had placed numerous historical markers to commemorate historical sites and events. One of these is The Madonna of the Trail monuments, which follow the National Road going west, sea to sea. Indiana is fortunate to have one of these in our backyard, near Richmond. Mrs. Carnahan told members there are 10 DAR schools in eight states, either owned or supported by the Society. She gave many other examples of what we do as a Society and members were encouraged to help the chapter grow by finding new members. The next meeting will be held on May 10 at 7 p.m. in the Blocher Room at the North Manchester P u b l i c Library. Guests are always welcome.

Southwood 3rd, Huge win over Knights catapult Apaches to share of Three Rivers lead Northfield 4th at TRC Golf

by Brent Swan Going into the May 16 game with the Southwood Knights, the Wabash Apaches knew they were in control of their own Three Rivers Conference destiny. Win out, and the Apaches could clinch at least a share of the TRC title, a missing ingredient to the successful rebuilding of the Apache baseball program. Early on in the matchup with the Knights, however, Apache hurler Shepherd Andrew struggled, throwing 32 pitches in the first inning. Shepherd battled back against the Knights, giving up no runs despite facing a bases loaded jam. “He (Shepherd) had a bad combination of things going on, he was either high or low,” Wabash Head Coach Matt Stone said. “He struggled to find the strike zone, but got us out of some jams. We made some good plays behind

him. He threw 100 pitches in five innings. From there, the Apaches chipped away at the Knights, scoring one run in the second, before breaking out with a six run third inning off of Southwood lefty Sean Irgang, pushing the Apax to a 7-1 lead going into the fourth. “We talked to the kids about our trouble with the slower lefties who have the breaking balls and off-speed pitches,” Stone said. “We worked with them on keeping their hands and their weight back; doing some of those things to get on base, and to not just pop out or fly out. We did the same thing to Northwestern the other night, Dietrich is not normally a pitcher, but we kept them off balance and they hit a lot of fly balls and made a lot of outs. We kept that game close enough that we could break through and win the

game, so we could draw from that experience.” then Southwood continued to put runners on base against Shephered, ultimately to no avail. For the game, the Knights stranded 11 runners on base, only crossing the plate once. In the bottom of the fourth, the Apax pushed across three more runs, capitalizing on timely hits from the bottom of the order. “I thought the bottom of our order was huge,” Stone said. “Hentgen and Patton - they were on base almost every time. We battled and did what we had to do to come out with the win. “We don’t have the wind blowing out here very often, but we knew in warmups that the ball was going to carry,” Stone said. “Certainly it did when Shep hit his home run, he didn’t hit it a ton, but it carried well. It was good to see our guys hit

some line drives and hit the ball deep.” With the victory, the Apaches inched closer to one of their 2011 goals; a conference title. After defeating the Knights, the Wabash squad learned Northfield had lost to Whitko setting up a winner take all matchup with the host Wildcats on May 18. “Obviously our kids are excited. We just told them it doesn’t mean anything if you go out and lose to Whitko on Wednesday,” Stone explained. “We feel pretty good, we’ve got Jack going who’s been our best pitcher. The last time we had a big game like this, we didn’t have a good effort so hopefully that changes. Being in first place means a lot to us, we’ve turned the program around to where we want to be, but Wednesday is the finishing touch for us.”

THE WABASH APACHES defeated the Southwood Knights 11-1,May 16, at Chris Rood Field. The win, coupled with the Whitko win over Northfield, moved the Apaches into a first-place tie heading into the final game of the conference season at Whitko on May 18. (photo by Brent Swan)

Charley Creek opens Huntington PEFLEY’S University-themed guestroom FARM EQUIPMENT Wabash’s historic Charley Creek Inn recently opened its latest renovation, a H u n t i n g t o n University-themed guestroom – created to celebrate the connections between neighboring communities. The guestroom, Room No. 309, features historic and contemporary images of the university. Among the images on display is the 1897 photo of the Administration Building, the university’s first building. Bishop Milton Wright, father of Orville and Wilbur Wright, laid the cornerstone on this building, which is now known as Becker Hall. The room also features a photo of the 1901 orchestra, the 1903 football team, the 1913 basketball team, a chemistry lab in the early 1920s and other historic and contemporary photos of the campus and its students. “Huntington University is very honored to be represented and highlighted in this historic hotel,” said Dr. G. Blair Dowden, president of Huntington University. “This restored facility is truly a landmark again. The Charley Creek Inn has become a true anchor of a revitalized downtown Wabash.” Richard Ford, of Ford Meter Box Co., has been the driving force behind the Inn’s redevelopment, and invited the university to provide historic and contemporary photos to display in one of the guestrooms. “The students I met at Huntington University were so sharp and so serious. I was very impressed,” Ford said of his first visit to the campus. A reception for the Huntington University Board of Trustees was held May 5 and marked the grand opening of the HU-themed guestroom. 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. Founded in 1897 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, Huntington University is a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU).
