by Danielle Smith Kroft Construction began the demolition of the Commissioners’ Meeting Room, located on the second story of the Wabash County Courthouse, approximately four weeks ago and construction is progressing well. The project was originally expected to take six to eight weeks to complete and cost nearly $60,000. The first payment, totaling $21,081, has already been made. The commissioners, along with County Coordinator Jim Dils, are currently exploring different options for the desk at which the commissioners will sit. They are attempting to find a way to incorporate use of the desks they already have in order to complete the project in the most economical fashion. It is also necessary for the room to be capable of recording the weekly meetings of the commissioners so different technological options are also being explored. In response to the remodel of the room, an auction of surplus

county property will be held June 17. Items from various county departments will be available for purchase including the pews that were formerly used in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room. More information about this auction will follow. Until the project is completed, the weekly meetings of the commissioners are being held in the EOC room, located on the lower level of the Courthouse. At their May 2 meeting, Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land informed the commissioners that 79 inmates are currently being housed at the Wabash County Jail. He also reported that he is currently in the process of hiring two sheriff ’s deputies. He has received 51 applications and will continue accepting applications until May 26. He hopes to complete some interviews this week. Jeff Hobson, C o m m u n i t y Corrections, presented a grant contract from Department of Corrections. County

Then she gave all the benefits you get for that amount, such as naming rights, butterfly kisses and hugs, a partner for blowing bubbles and flying kites, more love than your heart can hold and glimpses of God every day, to name just a few. With dogs you receive unconditional love, they never sass you back, and they don’t hold grudges, etc. There will be a social evening at Modoc’s on April 25, 7 p.m., at which time members may bring guests.

Susie Braun exhibits eternal optimism during bout with cancer

SUSIE BRAUN is responding well to the chemotherapy therapy they are using to treat her breast cancer. Her doctor says that her positive thinking attributes for 60 percent of her success. (photo provided) by Danielle Smith A Person You Should Know is Susie Braun, mother of three and longtime employee of Hoosier Point, Wabash. Susie was born in Pennsylvania. Her father died when she was 18 months old, which prompted her mother to move her and her siblings to Indiana. She graduated from Northfield Jr./Sr. High School in 1983. Susie then had three children, two sons and one daughter. Following high school, she worked various jobs until happening upon a position at Hoosier Point. She then became a fixture at Hoosier Point, remaining there until recent events. Near the end of 2010, Susie had been struggling with pain in her hip for several weeks when she finally decided to go to the doctor. The

doctor diagnosed her with arthritis and a breast infection and ordered a mammogram. The mammogram revealed two small lumps and doctors removed them for biopsy. Susie and her family elected to wait until after Christmas to hear the results of the biopsy. Susie’s doctor informed her that she was suffering from a rare type of breast cancer that was considered incurable and fast spreading. Within two weeks, doctors placed a port and Susie began chemotherapy. Susie has responded remarkably well to the chemotherapy. Her doctor informed her that there is a 40 percent success rate with her type of cancer, which she sees as pretty good odds. “He said he’s never seen anyone make the progress I have and he told me that

positive thinking is 60 percent of my success,” Susie said. “I have all the faith in the world that I will beat this.” Read Susie’s answers to the questions below to learn more about her determination and positive attitude. What was your reaction following the diagnosis? The room started spinning, I couldn’t talk. It was the most overwhelming thing I’ve ever heard. After the diagnosis, I spent two weeks crying and then I accepted it. Those first two weeks were really rough, but God has made me a brave person. What will be, will be. What has been one of the biggest adjustments for you during your illness? Not being able to go to work. I’m miserable; I can’t stand it! I miss work horribly; I miss the customers. I do puz-

zles, spend time with my family, and watch TV. I dabbled in yard work, which is funny because I’ve never done that before. My family keeps me busy and gets me out of the house a lot. Has there been anything positive that has come from your illness? It has brought our family a lot closer. We’ve always been close but this has really brought us together. I have experienced an amazing amount of support. The customers at Hoosier Point have collected which donations, have helped tremendously to fund trips to Fort Wayne for chemo. I really appreciate that; if it weren’t for that help I wouldn’t have made it this far already. What was one of the hardest parts of dealing with breast cancer? My hair falling out was the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to me. It started coming out in clumps and I just had my son shave it. It’s coming back in curly, unfortunately it’s still gray. It’s growing back, but not fast enough for me! How did you contribute to the loyalty and helpfulness of your children? I

college degrees and credentials held by young adults, 22-26 years of age, from 26.5 percent to 60 percent by 2025. To accomplish this goal, Questa Foundation is establishing new regional partnerships in order to invest $25 million from 2010-2025 through the Questa Scholars Program. Since launching the program in 2007, Questa Foundation has committed approximately $4 million, which currently benefits 210 Allen County students. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent regional expansion stems from new partnerships with NE Indiana community foundations resulting in over $600,000 being made available for college-bound students from DeKalb, H u n t i n g t o n , Kosciusko, and Whitley counties. In order to continue the expansion to all 11 counties in NE Indiana, Questa has been raising funds and securing â&#x20AC;&#x153;matching grant funds to match dollar-for-dollar funding provided by partnering foundationsâ&#x20AC;?. Questa has already secured $410,000 in matching grant funds in 2011, while $6 million in new funding is pending â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all for NE Indiana counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The expansion of the Questa Scholars

Program] is really targeted to our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Northeast Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emerging workforce,â&#x20AC;? Smith explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We say to you, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good is no longer good enough. We are no longer content to remain 46 out of 50 states in college attainment rates. We are no longer content to have only a quarter of our population achieve the dream and promise of a college degree. We are no longer willing to see our region be a net exporter of talent and defined by declining per capita income and brain drain. And, we are no longer willing to see graduates from our region leave college with the 13th highest debt load in the nation.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather,â&#x20AC;? she continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we stand together as leaders from across our region to say to you, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We are not only raising the bar of expectation of you, but we are committed to opening wide the door of opportunity for you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The Questa Scholars Program determines eligibility based on both academic merit and financial aid. Recent high school or home school graduates in current year or prior year with a cumulative 2.75 GPA, as well as first year college freshmen and recent GED recipients, qualify. The program also targets a unique demographic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; middle-income families â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as financial need is determined by FAFSA and the target estimated family contribution (EFC) range.

to According Konyha, Questa Foundation has managed to tackle one of the most difficult aspects involved in education. higher â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Questa Scholars Program is very unique in that it not only benefits lowincome families but it provides help for some of those middleincome families as well,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has been an issue for many Wabash families, and this program serves to rectify the problem.â&#x20AC;? As part of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion, Questa Foundation requires a minimum yearly commitment of 10 Scholar Awards per county, which requires $200,000 funding per county per year. This results in $1,000,000 per county over a five-year period, with 50 percent of the funds being repaid to Questa Foundation; thus, Questa will create a revolving loan fund for students from those counties. In order to facilitate the expansion to Wabash County, Questa is attempting to forge strategic partnerships with community leaders, philanthropists, local foundations, colleges, high schools, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to express how thoroughly impressed I am with this program,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Weaver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great part is the targeting of kids in the middleincome group that really need that funding.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the debt forgiveness of Scholar Award loans â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

for those who qualify after graduation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Questa Foundation has developed a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pay Back P a r t n e r s h i p Programâ&#x20AC;? to offer expanded benefits for Questa Scholars. While Questa Scholars can attend any non-profit U.S. Dept. of Education regionally accredited school, if they choose to attend one of seven NE Indiana colleges and universities they become eligible to have an additional 25 percent of their loan paid back by their alma mater. H u n t i n g t o n U n i v e r s i t y, Manchester College, University of St. Francis, Trine University, Indiana Tech, Grace College, and Indiana Wesleyan University have partnered with Questa and have agreed to pay back an additional 25 percent of a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scholar Award loan to Questa if certain graduation requirements are met. So, Questa Scholars may borrow up to $20,000 over four years and have up to 75 percent of their loan forgiven and repaid on their behalf if they graduate from a partnering regional institution. To learn more about Questa Foundation and its programs, go online to www.questafoundation.org.

Dillard shares thoughts on gas prices Dear editor, OPEC was created Sept. 14, 1960. The group sets oil prices by controlling production. In 1994, members were Algeria, Gabon, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. OPEC represents the interests of the largest oil producers in the world and sets the price of rude oil sold to the world for that group of nations. Now think for a minute. The price they set if you want their crude is deliberately manipulated by OPEC’s production schedule. Question: Do the oil refineries in the U.S. only use OPEC crude? No, they don’t, they use mostly our domestically produced crude pumped from land owned by John Q. Public, U.S.A. Question: If that is true, why are the OPEC prices used to figure the actual cost of a gallon of gas? Is it any wonder oil companies are reporting record-setting profits? You talk about windfall profits! No wonder their CEOs make millions. Talk about gall. The above is one of the biggest rip-offs the world has ever seen. Fourdollar gas made from 50 cent crude. Wake up, America, before it’s too late. Bernie Dillard Wabash

Now, Eib focuses much of her time serving the LaFontaine community, dedicating a large portion of her time to the LaFontaine Lions Club. “For the past eight years, I’ve been the Lions Club treasurer,” Eib said. “I oversee all the fundraisers – making sure everyone has the supplies they need. I’m also the cancer trustee for the Lions, visiting the other councils to talk about the Lions C a n c e r

Foundation.” In addition to the Lions Club, Eib also volunteers on the LaFontaine Festival committee. “I’ve been on the committee for six years,” Eib said. “I’m also involved with the business association. We’re always trying to get more businesses to come into our town. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get a groc e r y s t o r e here in t o w n sometime.”

When asked about what changes she planned on making to the weekly column, Eib explained she’d like to increase the participation by members of the community. have two “We churches that I know have events happeni n g , a s

well as the school,” Eib said. “Let me know when the PTO meetings are and we’ll get that in. People want to know what’s going on, and I’d like to make sure they get that information.” Eib will also be responsible for writing about happenings in the Somerset area, but said she’s not as involved with that area and will rely heavily on the information provided to her by town residents. “We had quite the happening little town back in the 60s,” Eib explained. “We used to have all kinds of little stores – a couple hardware stores, a bank – back then people really were involved with the town and I’d like to see us get back to that to a degree.”

Penguin Point renovations improve aesthetics by Shaun Tilghman Approximately

year and a half ago the local Penguin 1800 S. Point,

Wabash St., began a renovation project that Store Manager

Carla Olinger says created “a warmer, friendlier atmosphere for customers”. The work began at the end of October 2009 and was completed at the end of January 2010. According to Olinger, the goal was to improve the aesthetics inside the store and basically everything but the floor was changed in the lobby. “We put in new ceiling tiles, lights, and heating ducts in the main lobby area and side lobby area,” Olinger explained. “We also did window treatments and there is new wood trim around the windows and doors. “The side lobby now has a flat screen TV with café-style seating and there are also both tables and booths to make the area more accessible and accommodating to all customers. We even reconfigured the seating in the front lobby area, but the overall seating

capacity is approximately the same as it was before.” Olinger also stated that the restrooms had been redone during the renovation, including new tile

and freestanding countertops. The front counter is new, as well as the condiment bar located near the pick-up end of the counter. “We did put new

ceilings in the kitchen,” Olinger concluded, “but overthe all most of changes took place in the lobby areas to be enjoyed by our customers.”

With four major rivers, expansive areas of nearly level and fertile farm lands, extensive deposits of sand, gravel, stone, and at times oil and gas, abundant ground water, forests of giant trees, Wabash County was very appealing to early settlers. What made it this way? In one word, the glacier did it! While ice covered our state at least three times in the last million years, the last ice just left Wabash County as recently as 10,000 years ago.

Factors beyond just planting date affect corn yield potential

FARM FIELDS, such as this one at the Southern Indiana-Purdue Agricultural Center in Dubois County, are familiar sights as rain continues to drench Indiana. As a result, corn planting is behind normal schedule. (Purdue Agriculture photo/Donald Biehle)

While planting dates are important, Purdue Extension Corn Specialist Bob Nielsen says plenty of other factors can influence crop yield. The prime time for planting corn to maximize yields in much of Indiana is April 20 through May 10. The window opens about a week later in northern Indiana and a week earlier in southern Indiana. Because of the wet spring weather, very little corn has been

planted. According to the USDA National A g r i c u l t u r a l Statistics Service’s (NASS) Indiana Crop and Weather Report for April 24, only two percent of Indiana’s corn crop had been planted, compared with the 15-percent five-year average. “By itself, this is not much cause for concern because typically only a very small percentage of acres are ever planted by this date in Nielsen Indiana,”

said. “However, the specter of delayed planting is clearly on the horizon because little other fieldwork has been completed. For some growers, operations, tillage herbicide applications and nitrogen fertilizer applications must be completed first before they can consider planting their crops.” According to the USDA NASS progress reports for the past 20 years, there is not a strong relationship

between planting date and absolute yield on a statewide basis for Indiana. “It is true that corn grain yield potential does decline with delayed planting after about May 1,” Nielsen said. “But the planting date only accounts for 11-12 percent of the variability in statewide yields from year to year.” Yield potential declines with delayed planting because of factors such as shorter growing season, insect and disease pressure and moisture stress during pollination. The good news, Nielsen said, is that planting date is just one of many yield-influencing factors, or YIFs, for corn. “What is important to understand is that yield loss to delayed planting is relative to the maximum yield potential in a given year,” he said. “In other words, if all of the other YIFs work together to determine that the maximum possible yield this

year is 200 bushels per acre, then the consequence of a 10-day planting delay beyond May 1 would be a yield potential of 190 bushels per acre. But if all the other YIFs work together to determine that the maximum possible yield this year is only 160 bushels per acre, then the consequence of a 10-day planting delay beyond May 1 would be a yield potential of 150 bushels per acre. Because of these other yield-influencing factors, it is possible for early-planted corn in one year to yield more than, less than or equal to laterplanted corn in another year – depending on the exact combinations of factors for each year, Nielsen said. The bottom line, Nielsen said, is not to succumb to the fear triggered by the prospects of delayed planting in 2011. “‘Mudding in’ a crop early to avoid planting late will

almost always end up being an unwise decision,” he said. “Another reason that it is probably too early to fear-monger about the anticipated late start to planting is that growers have the machinery capacity to catch up quickly once the weather and soil conditions

YMCA’s extensive search ends with promising selection

Clint Kugler

by Danielle Smith Following a fourmonth search conducted by a selection committee, the YMCA’s new chief executive officer has been selected. Clint Kugler will begin his tenure as CEO of the County Wabash YMCA on June 1. The seven-person selection committee, chaired by Angie Beauchamp, enlisted the assistance of YUSA (the YMCA of

the U.S.). “We created a profile in January with our expectations and it was sent out nationally,” Beauchamp said. “We closed it after a month with 82 applications.” The committee was looking for someone with YMCA experience and someone who embodies the YMCA mission. YUSA helped narrow the selection to 44 candidates. The selection committee reviewed the 44 resumes individually then came together and selected 12 individuals to have phone interviews with. “The interesting thing to me was how independently we reviewed the resumes and came to the same conclusions. It made me believe in the process,” Beauchamp

told The Paper. The committee then invited four of the 12 candidates to Wabash for face-toface interviews. Two of those candidates were from Indiana and two were from out-of-state. “They came to Wabash with their spouses and stayed at Charley Creek Inn. We had casual receptions and quite a lengthy interview – they met directors and staff,” Beauchamp said. Although the final four candidates were all highly qualified, Beauchamp and the selection committee felt that Kugler stood out. “We were just so taken with his personality, his warmth and his absolute passion for the Y mission. You can tell he is a family

man and a man of faith,” she said. Kugler and his wife of 13 years, Kindi, have four children, ages nine, seven, five and three. Kugler describes his wife as being a “registered dietitian by profession and a stay-athome mom by pasKugler’s sion.” employment with the YMCA began in 1995 in Kankakee, Ill., where he worked as a member relations director. “It was during this period that I recognized the Y’s capacity to shape and enhance people’s lives, including my own,” Kugler said. In 2000, Kugler moved to Champaign County YMCA, in Illinois, acting as director of operations. He is currently serving as executive

director of the $3.6 million Parkview branch of the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne. “I could tell by the way he engaged with our directors and board members that his management skills are really e x t r a o r d i n a r y, ” Beauchamp said. Kugler’s appeal extends beyond experience as he recently completed the YMCA Executive Master’s Program through Springfield College (Ill.). “This organizational leadership and management program is designed to equip senior YMCA leaders with knowledge and tools to provide community leadership,” Kugler explained. Kugler was familiar with the Wabash

County YMCA as he worked with staff and volunteers during the planning stages of the facility. “Through those early interactions it was very clear that the residents of Wabash possess a desire to invest in their community and neighbors,” their Kugler said. “That passion is the essential element. As a result, there is an abundance of potential to transform lives and build a stronger community.” Kugler plans to use his first 90 days in Wabash to get to know the community; a reception will be held to allow residents to meet him, more details will follow. Beauchamp summarized Kugler by saying, “He’s somebody that does not

look at the Y as just a building, bricks and mortar, it’s really how we can engage the community and what we can be to the community. I have no doubt that he will take us in the right direction.” Daryl Sieplinga has filled the role as CEO during the selection process, and Beauchamp feels that he gave the committee an idea of what to look for in a CEO. “He stepped right in and gave us a vision for what we needed in a new executive,” she said. “We are confident we have selected the candidate who best matches the needs for the Wabash County YMCA and the communities in which we serve.”

Sports Shorts Lady Squires to Lady Knights in matchup of county rivals by Brent Swan falling Despite behind early, the Manchester Lady Squires battled back to defeat county and TRC rival

Southwood on April 30. After the Lady Knights scored in the bottom half of the first inning, the matchup appeared to

become a pitching duel as neither team mustered much offense until the Lady Squires busted out in the top of the fourth inning, push-

ing two runs across the plate. After Meika Kennedy reached on an error and stole second base, Lana Miller singled, scor-

ing Kennedy on the play and advancing to second on the throw home. Miller later scored on a Kayla Flack RBI single. In the top of the fifth inning, Manchester’s Katie Smith walked before stealing second. Kalene Freshour then reached on an error, scoring Smith. Freshour scored on a RBI double by Hannah Little, and Little scored after Kristiana Grogg reached on an error. “We had a good start against a good team and played good ball,” Lady Knights Head Coach Jim Troyer said. “We had runners on but didn’t take advantage to put them down more. (Manchester) stays cool with veteran players and with some key errors and good hitting, they

took the game over.” The Lady Squires continued to push runs across the plate in the top of the sixth. After Freshour reached on a bunt single, Alexah Egolf scored on a wild pitch from Lady Knight starter, Jenny Bentley. The Lady Squires pushed two more runs across the plate on a Little single and Kennedy sacrifice fly. “This is a good start to the conference schedule, starting off with a win,” Lady Squire Head Coach Todd Volk said. “We overcame some early walks and some base running blunders. Hannah Beal did an outstanding job in relief to pick up the win.” The Lady Squires were paced at the plate by Lana Miller, who went three for three with an RBI,

while Freshour added two hits, two runs scored, and three stolen bases. The Lady Knights were led by Courtney Simpson who went two for three with a walk, and Jenny Bentley who threw a complete game, giving up five earned runs on 10 hits and notched nine strikeouts. “We’ve played well for three to four innings, but then we seem to relax,” Troyer said. “We have a couple of important conference games coming up this week and we need to play solid ball if we plan to win them.”

URBANA BALL GAMES BEGIN: It is time for games to begin on the Urbana ball diamond. Come out and support the teams and the Urbana Lions Club who will have popcorn, pop, candy and food for sale. Major league games are on May 5 at 6 p.m., Cardinals and Yankees, and May 7 at 11 a.m., Astro and Yankees. Tee-ball and coach’s pitch games will begin on May 17 and 18. URBANA LIONS CLUB met on April 25 with President Luke Hunt conducting the business meeting for 1 6 members. President Luke Hunt reported on the quarterly United Fund agency meeting he recently attended. Ed Howard presented the summer ball game schedule and plans were discussed for the Lions Club Concession stand that will be open for all games and other summer events. The new ansul fire extinguisher system above the deep fat fryers in the Community Building kitchen has been installed. At the next Lions Club meeting, members will be given a “lesson” on how it works and what to do in case of a fire. The cost of the system was over $3,000 so another item of business discussed was possible fundraisers to cover the cost. A motion was made and approved for the Urbana Lions Club to hold an auction of donated items. If you are doing spring-cleaning and have items you would like to donate, contact any Lions Club member or Auction Chairman Mary Ann Mast at 260-774-3432 or 1-800-886-3018 or email her at mamast1906@comcast.net An auction date and further information will be announced shortly.

Bill Neale will be presenting the program on his and his wife’s trip to Africa. NITE LADIES OUT CLUB Vice President Carolyn Everest opened the April meeting by leading members in the Pledge to the Flag, the Club collect and sharing the thought of the month: “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow.’” Hostess Assistant Ruth Summers gave devotions based on Genesis 8:22: “As long as the earth endures, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” “Happy Birthday” was sung to Carolyn Everest. Esther Terrel read the minutes of the March meeting and Peg Heflin gave the treasurer’s report. For roll call, Anne Driscoll asked each member to tell about an Easter hat they had in the “old days.” Memories of the days when we all wore hats were shared. Jean Fleck and Erma Dawson wore their hats to the meeting. Erma’s hat was one that she had made as a Home Extension lesson entitled “Making Your Own Hat.” Mary Jean Wendel recorded reading points. Virginia Bozarth and Carolyn Everest are in charge of making the 2011-20l1 Club Books. A card was signed for Virginia who was unable to

attend the meeting because of a recent fall. Georgia Busch presented a health lesson on “Smart Bone Steps to Take Now!” The lesson encouraged supplements Calcium (1200 mg. R.D.A.) and Vitamin D-3 (800 – 1000 mg. R. D. A.) daily. It also stressed that exercise is important and to eat a nutritional diet that contains Vitamin K, phosphorous, and magnesium. Jean Fleck conducted the social hour. Esther Terrel was the winner and Georgia Busch was the Lucky Lady. Carolyn Everest will host the May meeting in her home.

Donald died a couple of years ago; Charles lives in New Albany. Sandra Carter, niece of Lewis Keppel, called to say the boys in the picture and her Uncle Lewis were dressed in navy suits as her uncle served in the Navy during World War II. Carl Favorite from Roann said that Lewis “was on one of the best basketball teams Roann ever had.” This team of 1932/1933 included Donald Bolinger, Bobby Bruce, Donald Yike, John Mishler, Bob Miller, Paul Swihart, Pete Kendall, Dick Spiece and Paul Bolinger.

North Manchester children hunted 2,000 eggs in Warvel Park Dear editor, The North M a n c h e s t e r Chamber of Commerce Tourism Committee recently hosted a combined Easter Egg Hunt at Warvel Park followed by a Bunny Hop at the Scout Hall. Hundreds of participants, ranging in ages from 1-12, raced to pick up the 2,000 candy-filled Easter eggs and then headed to the Scout Hall for egg coloring (eggs donated by Midwest Poultry), face painting, a small animal petting zoo (courtesy of Animal Grams), and a jellybean guessing contest.

The Egg Hunt began at 10 a.m., and was broken into five different age groups. Those age groups were: toddlers; preschool/kindergarten; grades one and two; grades three and four; and grades five and six. Two lucky winners from each category won an Easter basket, donated by ALCO. The Tourism Committee would like to extend a big thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the event a success. Tri Kappa and Kiwanis members helped hide Easter Eggs, Key Club members

from Manchester High School hid eggs, and Kira Schutte, Erica McKinley, Lauren Wagoner, and Amy Collett served as face-painters in the Scout Hall. The event was made possible by generous sponsorships from Wetzel Insurance Agency, Tri Kappa, Manchester Area Programming, Kiwanis, and the North Manchester Parks Department.

National Day of Prayer to be observed May 5 Dear editor, The 60th annual observance of the National Day of Prayer is May 5. This year’s

theme is “A Mighty Fortress if our God”. It was inspired by Psalm 91:2, which states, “I will say of the Lord, He

is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” The Wabash observance of the National

Day of Prayer will be held May 5, 12:15 - 12:45 p.m., on the north side of the Wabash County Courthouse. The event is being sponsored by the Wabash Area M i n i s t e r i a l Association. On May 5, millions of Americans will join together to pray for our nation. The annual National Day of Prayer, established by an act of congress,

signed into law b y President Truman, amended and extended by President Reagan, is a preeminent opportunity to acknowledge corporately as spiritual sons and daughters of the founding fathers, our dependence upon the Creator. It is a chance to cast our lot with God at this critically decisive moment in America’s history. Prayer has

made all the difference in the past; it is time to prove that it can make the same difference today. The National Day of Prayer Task Force’s mission is to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, mobilizing the Christian community to intercede for America and its leadership in the seven cen-

ters of power: government, military, media, business, education, church and family. The website for the National Day of Prayer is www.NationalDayofPraye r.org. This year’s committee urges all Wabash County residents to participate in this event. Mrs. Robert Rensberger Coordinator for Wabash County

BOOK DONATION: The Wabash Kiwanis Club recently distributed 273 books to fifth-grade students attending St. Bernard, Metro North, Sharp Creek, Southwood, LaFontaine and W.C. Mills in conjunction with the club’s annual Reading Book Program. Over the past 15 years money raised during the Kiwanis Pancake Day has funded the purchase of approximately 300 books per year. The books generally cost around $5 each and thus far more than $20,000 in books have been donated to area students. Each fifth-grade teacher selects a book that can be used as part of the class curriculum and when finished the students own them. The books selected this year included: The Cay, Hank – A Brand New Me, Abduction, Brian’s Return, Hoot, and Extra Credit. Pictured during the delivery at St. Bernard are (front row, from left): fifth-graders Elizabeth Anguilm, Rachel Orpurt, Matthew Stein, Joe Halderman, and Ayden Kocher; back row, Wabash Kiwanis President Juanita Rapp, teacher Lea Howard, principal Theresa Carroll, and Kiwanis Reading Book Program Chair Howard Halderman.

Landske: Senate lawmakers send legislative district bill to governor, congressional maps return to House

Indiana Senate lawmakers recently voted in bipartisan fashion for a pair of proposals establishing new boundaries for legislative and congressional districts. House Enrolled Act 1601 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; containing proposals for new Indiana House and Senate maps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; passed by a vote of 37-12. The

enrolled act now moves to the governor where it could be signed into law. House Bill 1602 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; establishing new congressional districts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also passed by a bipartisan vote of 37-12. The bill includes an amendment and goes back to the House for further consideration of that change.

State Sen. Sue Landske (R-Cedar Lake), chair of the Senate Committee on Elections and sponsor of the bills, said every 10 years the legislature is charged with reviewing state legislative and congressional districts and implementing changes based on population data received

from the federal census. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final Senate vote moves us one step closer to completing the task of establishing new boundaries for legislative and congressional districts,â&#x20AC;? Landske said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To better serve Hoosier voters, we gathered input on the redistricting process from the public, complied with the Federal Voting Rights

Act protecting minority voting rights and worked to the make boundaries that were more simply shaped, compact and respected communities of interest. I look forward to the day these bills are signed into law and the process is complete.â&#x20AC;? Landske said nearly all of the current Senate districts required configuration changes, because

Landske said five congressional districts have zero deviation and four are just one person over the ideal population for a district. She said the proposed plan for congressional districts keeps 83 of the 92 counties intact. The remaining nine counties are split between two congressional districts.

Wabash County Genealogical Society met April 18. General meeting items were dealt with and a program by Hope Rider followed. Rider told of her life as the daughter of lifetime artist, Edward McCandlish, and her mother, an English teacher. She spoke of growing up during the Great Depression and World War II in a gamily of eight children. She also discussed her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent as an author, cartoonist, illustrator and sculptor. Riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family moved many times, living in Michigan, Ohio, New York, New Hampshire and Indiana. Rider displayed several books her father either wrote or illustrated. Her mother, Maybelle Bowen McCandlish, assisted him in critiquing his books. McCandlish sculpted rubber toys such as farm sets for Auburn Rubber Co., Auburn. Rider and her husband of 47 years, Frank Rider, moved to Wabash in 1959. They raised their three sons in Wabash. She practiced her nursing career for 27 years. She now enjoys taking art lessons for herself.
