Youth Service Bureau forced to close after tax discrepancy found

by Brent Swan At the April 29 board meeting, the Youth Services Bureau’s (YSB) Board of Directors announced the agency would close after they were found to have withheld nearly $85,000 in federal withholding taxes. “I believe that in March, (YSB) board members became aware that there was a substantial sum due to the Internal Revenue Service for FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) taxes, which had not been paid over a period of years,” YSB Board Attorney Elden Stoops said. “The information came from a representative of the IRS that had been in contact with the director and had not received the information he had expected.” According to Stoops, the board was unaware of any outstanding tax issues or any problems of a similar nature up to that point. “It appears that there are unpaid taxes dating back approximately 10 years,” Stoops explained. “There have been private audits during that time that did not turn up the missing payments; we are not yet sure what happened or how this matter was kept from the board.” The Youth Services Bureau, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, oversees local programs such as the Community Assistance Program, Child Care Voucher Program, Day Reporting, Food Pantry, Mentoring Programs, Operation Elf, and the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program. Many, if not all, of the programs are expected to continue, but will be forced to search for a new sponsor agency. The CASA program, according to the YSB website, is responsible for ensuring a volunteer is appointed by the Circuit or Juvenile Courts of Wabash County to act as an advocate for a child that is abused, neglected or involved in a custodial dispute. The website also states. “CASA volunteers investigate the circumstance surrounding the case, make independent evaluations, and send written reports as to what is in the child’s best interest.” Indiana state law requires the appointment of either a guardian ad litem or a trained court appointed special advocate, such as a CASA volunteer, for any abuse, neglect, or termination of custody case. In 1989, the Indiana General Assembly established the office of Court Appointed Special Advocate Services to be administered through the Division of State Court Administration. Ultimately, this formation allowed counties to be eligible to receive matching grants administered by the division. To date CASA programs exist in 73 of the 92 Indiana counties. Without this program, Wabash County would be forced to hire guardian ad litems for many pending court cases, potentially costing the county thousands of dollars. “Steps are being taken to bring CASA onto the County payroll,” Stoops said. “There have been meetings, but there are many details to be worked out and I don’t

believe that any decisions have been made. However, it is my understanding that the Courts will make sure that CASA continues to serve Wabash County.” As to the other programs, Stoops said he believes substantial progress has been made to ensure they all find a new home. The YSB’s board has planned a settlement conference with the IRS in the coming weeks to determine what debts the Bureau is responsible for and to determine what steps should be taken to satisfy the final debt, including liquidation of the YSB’s office building, located at 111 S. Wabash St. “The YSB does not have any substantial assets other than the building and we have resolved to look for potential buyers,” Stoops said. “There may be insurance coverage, which could provide the funds needed, but that will depend on what the investigation uncovers.” Stoops went on to say that the board has hired an accountant to help determine what led to the discrepancy, but it is too early in the process to state how the taxes went unpaid. “At this point, I am not able to form a credible opinion as to whether this was criminal, negligence, or some combination,” Stoops said. “The employee involved had substantial expertise and

Former YSB Executive Director Donna Bogert was out of state on vacation when the board became aware of the discrepancy, and to Stoops’ knowledge has yet to (continued on page 5)

Welcome Center and Gift Shop keeps Wabash County on track for becoming a tourist destination by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Inc. (CVB), celebrated the grand opening of the new Welcome Center and Gift Shop located at 221 S. Miami St., Wabash, (right next to Modoc’s) with an open house and ribbon cutting May 3. The Welcome Center has been a collaborative effort from many people throughout the community. The property is owned by Michael and Angie Beauchamp, who worked with interior designer Angie Delauter and general contractor Mikhail New. “We wouldn’t have this without community investors,” said Kimberly Pinkerton, President of the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. “It’s having a board and having a kind of vision and seeing what the board did to bring this to life. All the artists and creativity and generosity of people has been incredible,” she said. The Welcome Center and Gift Shop totals 2,500 square feet of retail and meeting space. “There were three different pieces to this. The first was to connect our visitors to other retail options throughout the county. The second thing we wanted to do was provide a large enough welcome center so that when tour buses come into the community, they have a

And the other piece was we wanted to create a space that was large enough to offer frontline services to our merchants and retailers and attractions as a way to connect their staff to other parts of the county so they can cross promote,” said Christine Flohr, Executive Director of Tourism in Wabash County. The Welcome Center and Gift Shop

fits right in with the Economic Development Group of Wabash County’s goal of making Wabash a tourist destination. “We want people that come to visit Wabash County and our local people that come downtown to shop to have a place to come and get information, but also just to hang out and talk. We had one person come and say they didn’t (continued on page 5)

Every spring, kindhearted Hoosiers “rescue” an injured or seemingly abandoned baby wild animal and try to care for it. The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife has one thing to say: Don’t do it. “Most baby animals are not abandoned,” said Michelle Cain, wildlife information specialist with the division. “Many animals leave their young alone when searching for food and come back to them throughout the day. They also use this as a way to deter predators, as a predator may follow the mother back to its young.” Picking up a baby animal that is not orphaned or aban-

doned can harm the animal and take it out of its natural environment where it is meant to be. It’s also illegal. If you believe the animal is truly abandoned, or you know that the mother is no longer alive, call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Licensed wildlife rehabilitators are educated to properly care for wild animals. In the hands of an untrained person, an animal is unlikely to survive if it is returned to the wild. Wild animals also pose safety and health risks for humans. They may look helpless, cute and cuddly, but they can bite or scratch people who attempt to handle them. Some wild animals carry parasites and infectious diseases, some of which can be transmitted to humans. If a bird has fallen out of a nest, it is

okay to gently return it to the nest. The best way to make sure an animal is truly orphaned is to wait and check it periodically. If you are unsure, place some strings or sticks across the nest. Place some grass across the top of a rabbit nest that is found with young in it. If such items are later disturbed, the mother has probably returned. In such a situation, leave the young animal alone. In addition to calling a licensed wildlife rehabilitator (go to dnr.IN.gov/dnr/fishwild/5492.htm and click on “wildlife rehabilitator” for a list), people can find assistance by: –Calling the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife in Indianapolis at 317232-4080. –Calling DNR Law Enforcement 24 hours a day at 812-837-9536.

–Calling a licensed veterinarian. Remember, state laws prohibit keeping wild animals without a permit. Federal laws also prohibit possession of migratory birds, including songbirds, raptors and waterfowl. It is even illegal to treat wild animals for sickness or injury without a permit. In the spring, ducks or geese often nest in landscaping or gardens. The best thing to do is leave the nest alone and try to keep any pets away. However, be aware that the bird may return next year. If the bird becomes a nuisance you can call a nuisance waterfowl control operator.

Indiana Initiative puts soil conservation practices to the test and Indiana Soybean Alliance. “The corn and soybean check-off programs support this project to help farmers collect localized data that can help them make informed decisions when implementing conservation practices in their fields.” Each regional hub represents soil types, climate and topography common to its area. The hubs will provide opportunities for hands-on learning, one-on-one communication and longterm evaluation of the adoption of soil health systems. They also put these demonstration plots within easy reach of nearly every farmer in the state. Organizers aim to demonstrate the role of conservation practices in productive, profitable, sustainable systems. “The overall goal of this project is to advance the implementation of conservation cropping systems across the state,” noted Jennifer Boyle Warner, executive director of the Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts. “What makes the project unique is that it’s a

public-private partnership. Combining the strengths of different sectors will ensure broader success.” The Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative for Soil Health and Productivity project is funded by a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Conservation Innovation Grant. Partners in the project include the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Conservation T e c h n o l o g y Information Center

(CTIC), Purdue University, Wabash County SWCD, Dubois County SWCD, Vincennes UniversityJasper Campus, Indiana Soybean Alliance, and the Indiana Corn Marketing Council. Eileen Kladivko, Purdue University Department of Agronomy, talks to farmers at one of the many CCSI soil health field days. A series of soil health workshops held this spring through the program drew more than 150 p r o d u c e r s . l programs at the regional hubs will be scheduled later this year and announced on the CCSI website

IndianapolisI n d i a n a ’ s Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative for Soil Health and Productivity project is expanding to test conservation practices on typical soils across the state, mentor conservation-oriented farmers and inspire greater adoption of conservation systems by Indiana producers. The CCSI map shows the four regional hubs and 12 farmer sites. Four regional hubs at the Purdue University Diagnostic Center, Northeastern Purdue Agriculture C e n t e r / Wab a s h Farm, Southeast Purdue Agriculture Center and a farm at Vincennes University managed by the Dubois County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD)- will host the ambitious demonstration and study plots for this three-year project. Scientists will measure the impacts of a variety of conservation systems on soil health, nutrient cycling, soil water availability and plant growth. Practices in the study include long-term continuous no-till/strip-till, cover crops, precision technology, and several nutrient and pest management practices. Rodney Rulon, Hamilton County, is one of 12 Indiana farmers who will host demonstration sites on farms around the state. In conjunction with the regional hubs, 12 farmers will host demonstration sites on their farms, comparing their current conservation systems with programs that introduce new practices. The impacts of the new practices on soil health and an array of other variables will be measured and documented, and comparisons made with fields on the same or nearby farms. The farmers will also serve as mentors to producers interested in adopting new conservation tactics. “We see great value in working with farmers to conduct trials in real time, in real conditions and on their own farms across the state,” said Mike Dunn, director of production and environment for the Indiana Corn Marketing Council

Career Services for M a n c h e s t e r University, attendees were led in the invocation by Kimberly Pinkerton, President of Wabash County Chamber of Commerce. The students enjoyed a formal lunch while gaining valuable networking experience with business/education attendees. Students were invited to introduce themselves and share future plans, while employers let attendees know what job opportunities awaited them here in Wabash. Keynote speaker was Emily Guenin-Hodson, Guienin Law Offices. A 1996 Northfield High School graduate, Guenin-Hodson received an undergraduate degree from Butler University and a law degree from Indiana University before returning home to practice law with her father at Guenin Law Offices. “When I was at IU, I had offers from other law firms in Chicago and Indy,” she said. “Those were all things I had taken into consideration. But for me, I really wanted to come home, and Wabash was home for me. “That’s where I wanted to be.” One reason she wanted to return, she said, is because she wanted to raise her family in Wabash. “I was raised here,” she said. “I had wonderful experiences here. I had family, friends, connections here. There are so many opportunities here.” She didn’t realize that, she noted, until she went away to Butler.

“Most of my friends that were there really didn’t have the same sense of home,” Guenin-Hodson said. “I think it’s just something special about our community because it does have that sense of home and that sense of pride. I wanted my children to be able to feel that and experience that and have that same sense of community.” The community, she said, has grown considerably since she graduated from Northfield, and it is continuing to change to keep up with technology. It also has wonderful cultural opportunities, thanks to places such as the Honeywell Center and the Wabash County Historical Museum. “To me, that reiterates that I made the right choice, because our community is not stagnant,” she said. “It is constantly growing and constantly expanding and continuing to offer new and wonderful things.” Over 100 students and educators were sponsored by local

It’s that kind of feel to this place,” said Jill Ross, the Tourism Coordinator. “Both Christine and I love our community, and we like for people to be able to feel the same when they come here,” she said. Already, visitors come from other states and spend a week or weekend in Wabash County, and Flohr believes Wabash will continue to grow as a tourist destination. “When I look at the county as a whole, I see it becoming one of those destinations similar to Brown County. We have an arts and entertainment district. We have lots of wonderful festivals. We have the reservoirs,” she said. Ross and Flohr both agree that working on the project has been exciting and rewarding. “It’s been exciting to participate in anything that’s for growing Wabash. Anything that takes Wabash County to the next level,” said Flohr. By featuring local retailers’ items, visitors will get a taste of the stores, which will

To see their efforts end this way has been a shock and a tremendous disappointment – yet their primary concern remains finding a way to make sure that their work continues through other agencies and volunteers.”

hopefully encourage them to visit. The Gift Shop features items from retailers and artists from throughout the community including artwork by Susan Stewart, honey from Clover Blossom Honey in Lafontaine and items from One World Handcrafts in North Manchester. “Just having our products there is pretty special for us,” Dianne Wion from One World Handcrafts told The Paper of Wabash. “Because we are a non profit, it means a great deal. We don’t have the

money for advertising because it all goes into our retail, and

this gives us an avenue to reach new customers we would-

n’t have the opportunity to reach any other way,” she said.

One World Handcrafts sells a wide variety of items from organic coffees to clothing and kitchenware. They are part of the Fair Trade Federation, which aims to support farmers and artisans in developing coun-

tries through the practice of fair trade. They do this by eliminating the middlemen and knowing exactly where their products come from. They also have a local corner featuring community artisans. (continued on page 28)

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) General Sign-Up 45 USDA will conduct a four-week general sign-up for CRP beginning May 20 and ending on June 14. CRP protects the nation’s natural resources through voluntary participation, while providing significant economic and environmental benefits to rural communities across the United States. Currently, about 230,000 acres are enrolled in CRP in Indiana. Producers that are accepted in

the sign-up can receive cost-share assistance to plant long-term, resourceconserving covers and receive an annual rental payment for the length of the contract (10-15 years). Contracts on 47,789 acres of CRP are set to expire on Sept. 30, 2013 in Indiana.

Manchester Junior Senior High School ranked in Best High School Rankings

Manchester Junior Senior High School was recognized among the top high schools in the state of Indiana in the Best High School Rankings by US News. Manchester Junior Senior High School was ranked 38th out of 388 in the state. 105 Indiana Schools made the national rankings. To be eligible for a state ranking, a school must be awarded a national gold or silver medal. “We are very happy to be ranked in the top 10 percent of Indiana high schools based on our ECA and AP scores,” MJSHS Principal Nancy Alspaugh said. “This US News ranking is a tribute to the hard work of our students and staff to do well on these state and national exams. Much of the extra time and effort our students and staff put in is not recognized so this ranking shows that it does pay off ! “Our students achieve in many other areas as well, but we welcome this national

recognition to showcase what a great school Manchester is!” she added. U.S. News joined forced with the American Institute for Research, a Washington D.C.based organization, to evaluate schools on overall student performance on statemandated assessments, as well as how effectively school educated their black, Hispanic and economically disadvantaged s t u d e n t s . Performance on Advance Placement and International

Baccalaureate exams was then used to determine the degree to which schools prepare students for college-level work. Schools were ranked within each state, as well as on a national stage, so families can see how their public high school stacked up against rivals within the community and across the country. In the national rankings, 500 schools earned gold medals, 1,790 were awarded silver, and 2,515 were awarded bronze.

Between those two towns is the Brethren Village retirement community, and I spent the middle of the day there with people who came to hear about my walk and the campaign and about On Earth Peace. Jim and Elaine Gibbel, who also scheduled a meeting this evening at the Lititz Church of the Brethren, arranged that meeting. Like the group at the retirement village, the people this evening were fairly familiar with the ministries of On Earth Peace, and have been supporters of our work.

More rain likely into May; time not crucial for corn crop yet

W E S T L A FAY E T T E Frequent and heavy rains have kept most Indiana farmers out of their fields during corn planting season so far this month, and the weather outlook for the next two weeks portends continued wet conditions.

But that doesn’t mean yields at harvest time are in danger of dropping off yet. Forecasters expect precipitation to be above normal through the first week of May, following a pattern of rain that has swelled rivers and

streams and flooded fields. “The rain over the next couple of weeks shouldn’t be as heavy as it has been, but the frequency of rewetting of topsoils is the problem,” said associate state climatologist Ken Scheeringa, based at Purdue University. As of the week ending April 21, farmers had planted just 1 percent of the state’s corn crop, compared with the five-year average of 16 percent by the same time, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service

reported. Last year, when an unusually dry spring was a precursor to drought, farmers had 43 percent of the crop in the ground by this time. Heavy rains and cool temperatures

prevented most fieldwork last week, when some areas received nearly seven inches of rain and temperatures dropped to 21 degrees. Temperatures finally are warming, a

trend that typically would help to dry out fields so farmers could work in them. But more rain would negate that effect. “We’re in a wet pattern that isn’t going to change in the immedi-

ate future,” Scheeringa said. State climatologist Dev Niyogi earlier this year had said planting could be delayed because of a wetter-than-nor mal trend and that Indiana could be in for some drying in the growing season, leading to a return to mild to moderate drought conditions across the state. He said that possibility has not changed. “We don’t have a dominant El Niño or La Niña this year, so the patterns we are seeing from wet to dry could become the highlight of the growing season,” Niyogi said. Although Indiana farmers are two weeks behind the fiveyear average pace in planting corn, statewide statistical data suggest that planting date accounts for only 23 percent of the variability in yields from year to year, said Purdue Extension corn specialist Bob Nielsen. Tillage and use of herbicides and nitrogen fertilizer are among many yieldinfluencing factors, or YIFs. “The good news is that planting date is only one of many YIFs for corn,” Nielsen wrote in his online “Chat ‘n Chew Café,” which contains crop production information compiled from universities and public websites across the United States. Nielsen noted that last year 94 percent of the corn crop was planted by May 15, but it yielded 38 percent below trend, largely because of the drought - a disastrous YIF. Conversely, farmers in 2009 planted only 20 percent of the crop by that date because of wet conditions, yet their harvest was 9 percent above trend. He said if planting delays continue, farmers still would have until mid-May to decide whether to switch to seeds that would take the crop to maturity faster. “Let’s not succumb quite yet to fear-mongering triggered by the prospects of a delayed late start to corn planting in 2013,” Nielsen wrote.

Deer feed pulled from Rural King shelves WEST LAFAYETTE- The wildlife feed Deer Corn has been pulled from Rural King store shelves in seven states because some bags showed contamination from aflatoxins. The product was first collected and analyzed in Indiana by the Office of Indiana State Chemist, based at Purdue University, following a customer request for information. The tested samples indicated that the corn was not suitable as a feed for wildlife and could potentially be harmful to humans exposed to the aflotoxin dust. Animals that consume high levels of aflatoxins could die. Aflatoxins, substances produced by molds that grow on grain, also are a potential human carcinogen. Robert L. Geiger, feed administrator in state chemist’s office, said the level of aflatoxins found in the Deer Corn exceeded levels the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers safe. The OISC contacted Rural King headquarters in Mattoon, Ill., which withdrew the product from store shelves. Deer Corn, packaged in camouflage printed bags, is the only feed product banned from purchase at Rural King, which operates 63 retail stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Michigan and Missouri. Customers who bought the product should return it to a Rural King store. People who have questions should contact Geiger, their local Rural King store or find their state’s feed administrator contact information online at the website of the Association of American Feed Control Officials at http://www.aafco.org.

Rev. John Whitcraft, 96 WWII veteran March 19, 1917 – April 30, 2013

Reverend John M. Whitcraft, 96, resident of Grace Village, Winona Lake, passed away on Tuesday evening April 30, at Grace Village. John was born near Lititz, Pa. on March 19, 1917 to Elmer and Edna (Weaver) Whitcraft. They preceded him in death. John married Mary Pauline Redcay on Jan. 1, 1940. John was a veteran of WWII and a private in the army. After the war, and while working at DeWalt Corp. in Lancaster, Pa., John experienced a call to ministry. They continued to live in Lancaster County, Pa. until 1952 when they moved to Chicago in order for John to attend Bethany Seminary. In 1953, the family moved to North Manchester, where John continued his education at Manchester College, graduating with a B.A. in 1956. He then returned to Bethany Seminary for his Master of Divinity in 1959. During John’s college and seminary years, he served a part-time pastorate at the Clear Creek Church of the Brethren, Huntington. Beginning in 1959, John began full-time pastoral ministry and continued in that work for many decades serving several Church of the Brethren congregations including, Liberty Mills; Eversole at New Lebanon, Ohio; Union Grove at Muncie; Eel River/ West Eel River at Silver Lake; New Paris, Ind. and part-time at Roann. John enjoyed fishing and bowling whenever it fit into his busy retired life. He and his wife, Mary particularly loved attending sporting and special events in the lives of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. John and Mary have five children; Brenda (Chuck) Petry, Fort Wayne; Jim (Jane) Whitcraft, Hoagland; Faye (Larry) Jagger, Winona Lake; Scott (Crystal) Whitcraft, Wausau, Wis., and Pam (Duane) Metzger, Leesburg. They also have 17 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. John is also survived by his sister, Margaret Whitcraft, Lititz, Pa. He was preceded in death by three brothers and a sister. Memorial services were held May 4 at the Chapel in Grace Village, Winona Lake. Private burial will be in Oaklawn Cemetery, North Manchester. Arrangements are entrusted to McKee Mortuary, North Manchester. For those who wish to honor the memory of Rev. John M. Whitcraft, memorial contributions may be made to Kosciusko Home Care & Hospice, 1515 Provident Dr., Warsaw, IN 46580 or Grace Village Retirement Community, 337 Grace Village Dr., Winona Lake, IN 46590 or Kosciusko County Relay for Life, c/o McKee Mortuary, 1401 State Road 114 West, North Manchester, IN 46962.

How to deal with nuisance wild animals Nuisance wild animals are a common problem in the spring, and Hoosiers have several options for dealing with them. People can always call a licensed wild animal control company. For the name of a licensed company, visit dnr.IN.gov/fishwild/2351.htm. Hoosier landowners or tenants also can trap and release or kill raccoons, skunks, opossums, squirrels, beavers, muskrats, minks, long-tailed weasels, and foxes on their own property without a permit if these animals are damaging that property. Live traps for capturing animals can be purchased from garden-supply or home improvement stores. Be careful when livetrapping wild animals in the spring because they may have young. If the animal is to be released after capture, it must be released in the county of capture and cannot be kept as a pet, sold, traded or given to another person. Releasing wild animals on a city, county or state property may be illegal or require written permission; contact proper officials before releasing wild animals on public property. To keep wild animals from becoming a nuisance, DNR wildlife officials recommend the following:

Pick up dog and cat food at night and keep birdfeeders out of the reach of wild animals or bring in birdfeeders at night. Install a commercial chimney cap made of sheet metal and heavy screen. Repair soffits to prevent access to attics, and install strong, metal vent covers. Prune tree limbs at least 10 feet away from the roof. Buy heavy metal garbage cans with lockable lids; otherwise, keep garbage cans indoors as much as possible. Install metal skirting around the bottoms of decks. Provide shelter structures for fish in ornamental ponds and water gardens; cover the pond during the night with metal screening. Nuisance Canada geese also can create problems in the spring when nesting. You can oil the eggs of Canada geese or remove their nests after registering with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. A link to the USFWS goose egg and nest destruction registration page is available at dnr.IN.gov/fishwild. Pond owners experiencing problems with otters should contact their district wildlife biologist for more information or to request a special control permit.

NMPD investigating sexual assault on Manchester University campus Police Chief Jeff Perry recently confirmed that, on Monday, April 15, at approximately 12:55 a.m., a Manchester University (MU) student reported being sexually assaulted in the Schwalm Hall parking lot on the North Manchester campus. According to Chief Perry, it is not his policy to release the victim’s name in cases such as this. He also stated that the forensic nurse examined the victim, and they are still awaiting the results of that examination. Since the incident, both the North Manchester Police Department (NMPD) and the MU Department of Campus Safety have opened their respective phone lines, 260-982-8555 and 260-982-5999, in search of any information that could help identify the person responsible for this crime. Thus far, everyone the NMPD has questioned, regarding potential involvement in the incident, has produced a verified alibi, Chief Perry said. At this time, the NMPD is continuing to explore possible leads and follow up on any tips that are provided with regards to the case. In addition to the two contact numbers previously listed, a Confidential Tip Line (260-982-5995) is available for individuals to contribute information anonymously.

Spring Drug Take Back event a success The Indiana State Police participated in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) sixth Drug Take Back Event, which resulted in Hoosiers across Indiana dropping off unwanted prescription drugs. The first DEA Drug Take Back Event took place in September 2010 and resulted in 2.4 tons of drugs being dropped off for disposal. The results are in for the most recent Drug Take Back event from Saturday, April 27, and resulted in 11.5 tons of drugs being dropped off. Indiana State Police drop off locations contributed 1,875.5 pounds to the state wide total. The Indiana State Police has partnered with the DEA in each Drug Take Back event. This popular public service event helps reduce the improper disposal of unwanted prescription drugs by providing an alternative to flushing down the toilet, placement in regular trash or leaving them in the home and susceptible to unintended or illegal use.

Dustin Lee Elshire, 29, Amboy, died 7:33 a.m. on Tuesday, April 30, as a result of a car accident. Dustin was born on Feb. 6, 1984 in Wabash. He was the son of Marty L. Elshire, Amboy, and Kathryn J.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Paul and Eleanor Helfin. As we celebrate the time we had with Dustin, remember all the happy tracks he left on our hearts. Whether if it be the crooked smile that made you wonder what he was up to, that story where he could convince you that he could fish a shark out of a mud puddle, or even his love for the outdoors. Dustin was a fishing fanatic; he also loved hunting for animals and mushrooms. That love can only be surpassed by the love he had for his children. As Dustin roams his new happy hunting grounds, remember he is still with us in the raindrop that kisses your cheek, the wind that blows your hair, and the star that flickers the brightest in the sky. He will live on through his children. Embrace and celebrate the life of Dustin Lee Elshire that we were so lucky to be a part of. A time of remembrance was held May 4, at McDonald Funeral Home, LaFontaine Chapel with Rev. Billy Hesketh officiating. Burial will be at a later date in the Mississinewa Cemetery in Somerset.

Advice offered for landowners looking to sell timber I n d i a n a Conservation Officers and the DNR Division of Forestry are providing useful tips to landowners that can assist in protecting their valuable timber resources. Indiana hardwoods, such as black walnut, red and white oak, and other valuable species are sought by the timber industry. Landowners should follow some simple steps before signing a contract with a timber buyer. “Some Indiana landowners are taken advantage of every year, and they lose money and resources because they are not aware of the value of timber or the steps needed to protect themselves,” said Duane McCoy, timberlicensing forester with the DNR Forestry Division. To protect forestry resources, landowners should follow these steps: 1. Hire a consultant forester to represent you and mark and advertise your timber sale. 2. Always get several bids from different timber buyers. 3. Ask questions and get references from the timber buyer.

4. Mark the trees to be cut with a paint mark on the stem and at ground level. 5. Know and understand the fine details of the contract. 6. Never make an oral agreement. 7. Know how much you will be paid and the method of payment. 8. Be a good neighbor and work out any property line disputes prior to harvesting. “Marketing the mature timber from a family property is generally something that will only occur once in a person’s lifetime, and it must be done with knowledge that protects the interest of your investment,” said Lt. Tony Stoll, DNR Law Enforcement District 9 commander. The DNR offers a free information packet titled “callb4ucut” to Indiana citizens considering harvesting their timber. See www.callb4ucut.com for further information. Any suspicion that a timber theft is occurring citizens are urged to contact Indiana Conservation Officers Central Dispatch at 812-8379536.

Toddler injured in ATV accident in White County

( B U F FA L O - I N ) Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating an ATV accident that occurred in White County, which resulted in serious injuries for a toddler. The incident occurred on Friday, April 26, at 7:35 p.m. at 5147 E SR 16 in Buffalo. Xzavier Q. Barnett, 1 was a passenger on a 90cc Yamaha ATV that was being operated by his older brother Brayden, 8. The brothers were riding through their back yard. Xzavier was not wearing shoes and at some point his sock became entangled in the chain of the machine. This entanglement pulled his foot into the gear causing the complete amputation of all five of his toes. Xzavier was transported to IU White Memorial by the Monticello Fire Department. He was later flown to Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. Neither boy was wearing helmet or protective equipment. Upon the completion of this investigation the case will be presented to the White County Prosecutors Office and the Indiana Department of Child Services for review. I n d i a n a Conservation Officers recommend the use of protective equipment, including a helmet and sturdy boots while operating an off road vehicle. According to Indiana law, ATV’s operated by children under the age of 14 must be directly supervised by an adult.

2nd Annual Bike Run for Aidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Breath to be held Dear Editor, The Second Annual

Aidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Breath Bike Run will be held on

May 11, at Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harley Davidson

Mother s Day Would be a perfect time!

Shop, 1400 North Cass Street, Wabash. There will be free food and a battle of the bands. Aiden will present, as his health will allow. Please come and join us and get to know Aiden. Aiden was born in 2009. He was in an accident at just 13 months old. He was only walking for five weeks before being tragically injured with a spinal cord injury that has made Aiden a quadriplegic and changed his and his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives forever. Aidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother and new boyfriend took a

drive with Aiden in the back seat. They were on a curve that has a concrete barrier along side of the road and they hit the barrier. Aiden was properly fastened in his car seat, but his car seat was not properly fastened in the car. The mother and friend were injured badly, but since recovered, but Aiden will forever be handicapped. Aiden was taken to Wabash Hospital; the tech in the ER told me (Aidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-grandmother) that he was given CPR for over an hour to get him

revived. He also said he had never worked on anyone that long before, but Aiden was an infant and he wanted to give him every chance he could. From Wabash, Aiden went by ambulance to Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne. He stayed there, in a coma, and had test after test to determine his injuries. It was then decided to send him to St. Vincent, Indianapolis, by Lutheran Air Helicopter. He was there only a day, then transferred to Methodist Hospital,

Each week, youth from 1st-5th grade have the opportunity to attend class and work to fill the marble jar by earning marbles for completing homework, memorizing scripture and for random acts of kindness. Pictured are Colton Learned, Rachel Gatchel, Layne Gatchel, and Landon Learned (not pictured: Zack Moore, Ezra Dale, and Micah Dale). S.P.Y. class is held Tuesdays from 4:30-5 p.m. at the youth center located at 74 W. Canal Street and is open to all youth 1st-5th grade. The class participants are now working toward their next â&#x20AC;&#x153;marble jar goalâ&#x20AC;?-a bowling party at Cannonball Lanes. (photo provided)

Indianapolis, for a trach in this throat. Until then, he had a tube from his mouth to his lungs so he could breathe. He was always chewing on the tube. While at Methodist Hospital, they also did surgery to reattach his skull to his spinal column, known as the Superman surgery because Christopher Reeves played Superman in the movies. Aiden was taken to Riley Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Indianapolis. He got the best care ever. That is where the Browns met Aiden for the first time. Steve and Tina have been the answer to prayers to be able to take care of Aiden and help him grow and flourish the best he can ever do. They have taken Aiden to Baltimore Medical Clinic, which specializes in spinal cord injuries like Aidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. But all this is expensive, and Federal and State funding levels of support is going down. Fundraisers are necessary for Aidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress. Please come and donate and see what a happy, inspirational four-year-old child Aiden is.

Gray says state funds should be invested in tobacco prevention Dear editor, I am very disappointed in the actions of our legislators. The decision to cut state funding by 38 percent for programs that help people stop smoking and try to prevent others from starting will mean there will be more smokers and higher health care costs. The cut went form the two-year $8 million allocation to $5 million. This is just a fraction of the $78.8 million recommended by the CDC for a comprehensive tobacco control program for Indiana. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in Indiana and costs the state more than $2 billion in healthcare every year. While we appreciate the fact that legislators avoided steeper cuts than had originally been proposed, the fact remains that this funding continues to

be cut during every budget cycle despite the fact that the state receives more than $125 million every year from the tobacco master settlement agreement. Properly funded prevention and cessation programs have been proven to reduce smoking rates, save lives and generate fiscal savings by as much as $56 for every dollar invested. With demand for prevention and cessation programs at an alltime high, we need to invest as much as possible in helping Hoosiers abstain from tobacco. Thousands of Hoosiers are counting on these programs, and the legislature has failed us. A study recently released by Ball State University, “Burden of Adult Smoking in Indiana,” found that 25.6 percent of the adult population of Indiana, or about 1.25 million, are smokers,

giving the state the nation’s seventh-highest percentage of smokers. It also found that 57.5 percent of smokers in Indiana said in 2010 they tried to quit for at least one day. Dr. Stephen Jay, a professor of medicine and public health at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, stated that health experts around the state could not believe the Re publican-controlled Legislature reached an agreement to cut spending from $8 million this year to $5 million for fiscal 2014. “We are stunned,” Jay said. “Because we have excellent data that it’s a smart business decision to fund, actually to expand funding, for tobacco control. For every buck you put in, its $30 to $60-plus that you save. So when you cut funding, what in

effect you are doing is assuring that tobaccouse rates are going to go up, exposure to second-hand smoke is going to go up, cost for health-care is going to go up, business costs are going to go up and the people who suffer are taxpayers,” he said. “So in effect, this is a tax increase on the state of Indiana.” According to the County Health Rankings, five years ago 30 percent of Wabash County resi-

dents were tobacco users. The current rankings tell us that we have gone down to 20 percent. I cannot believe a program that helps people end an unhealthy life style was targeted for such a severe cut that will cost the state more than what they were spending.

We will remain faithful to the cancer aspect of our campaign for the future. We know of one child receiving services at Riley, and there may be others. By directing our money this way, we are still helping families within our countywide area without asking them to become public figures,” said Wagoner. Gates for the event will open at 8:30 a.m., with sales beginning at 9 a.m. There will also be other sorts of entertainment at the park that day, including a Walkathon, chaired by Wabash Middle School teacher, Natalie Unger; children’s games; various live bands, including God’s Country, and a silent auction are also part of the day’s activities.

Morbitzer asks for continued prayer for Great Awakening Dear Editor, At the likely risk of being automatically labeled “intolerant,” “bigoted” and “homophobic” by the “PC police” (the Politically Correct crowd), I submit the following: God lists nine lifestyles in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 which, if continually practiced and not

repented of, will cause a person to “not inherit the Kingdom of God.” And, He warns us, “do not be deceived.” These nine sinful lifestyles are: 1) Fornication, 2) Idolatry, 3) Adultery, 4) Homosexuality, 5) Thievery, 6) Greed, 7) Drunkenness, 8) Abusing, and 9) Cheating. Do you, like me,

wonder… Why is there only one sin on that list that is now celebrated and touted as “natural and normal?” Why are none of the other eight part of a person’s “identity” or “orientation?” Why are we not passing laws to legalize those other behaviors? (The shoplifters should cry, “Discrimination!”)

Could any of those in the other lifestyles excuse their behavior by saying they were “born that way” and can’t change? That the behavior is “genetic?” Why is the media giving celebratory status to a male athlete for choosing to have sex with another man? Something is wrong with this picture.

Make no mistake. All of those practicing the nine sins God lists can, and do, change through the power of Jesus Christ. “And such WERE some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” - 1 Corinthians 6:11.

May our continued prayer be for a Great Awakening in our nation, a true Heavensent spiritual revival. And, that people practicing any kind of sexual sin will repent and find the forgiveness, freedom,

Apaches pound out 22 hits in double-header wins

by Gary Andrews The Wabash Apache bats were firing on all pistons Saturday as they hosted Maconaquah in a double header, taking two from the Braves 11-3 and 10-8. After a rough first inning in game one for starting pitcher Roger Davis, giving up two runs, he settled down to hold the Braves at bay. Down 2-1 going to the bottom of the third the Wabash bats got going. Landon Cole got things going with a double and was brought home by a Devin Bitzel single. After a balk, Shea Beauchamp hit a

grounder, with Bitzel getting caught in a run down and scoring. Grant Sailors would then single and was followed by a Tyler Brewer bunt single to load the bases. Justin Holley drove in a run with a sacrifice and Wabash led 4-2. In the fourth, Kyle Kelsheimer and Cole walked, followed by a Bitzel bunt that was miss-played, scoring K e l s h e i m e r. Beauchamp then hit a hard grounder to third with Cole being caught in a run down; making it back to third safely and the bases were loaded. Grant Sailors then

singled home two runs to open a 7-2 lead. The Apaches would score one more and led 8-2. Wabash picked up three more runs in the fifth on their way to the 11-3 win. Wabash had 11 hits. Grant Sailors led the offense going 4 for 4. Beauchamp and Bitzel had two hits each. In game two Wabash scored two runs in the first and four in the second, but led just 6-5 after four. A four run outburst in the fifth gave the Apaches some breathing room. After Isaiah Smith reached on an error, Tyler Brewer

singled. Justin Holley then put down a perfect bunt, with an overthrow at first, scoring Smith. Kody Fuller then laid down a perfect squeeze bunt, scoring Brewer to make it 8-5. Holley was thrown out at home trying to score a second run on the play. Landon Cole later doubled home two more for a 10-5 lead. The Apaches gave up one run in the sixth and two in the seventh to win game two 10-8. Cole, Beauchamp and Devin Hostetler had two hits each as Wabash pounded out 11 hits in each game.

that up with a 5-2 win in game two. In game one, the Norse scored in each of the first four innings with some timely hits and got a one-hit effort on the mound from Joseph Ross who improved to 4-0. Collin Dawes, who took over the lead off role as Adam Roser played defense only to take care of a hurt wrist, went 3-4 with three RBI to lead the Norse in game one. Shane Vigar added two hits and Ryan Keaffaber homered. Ross gave a soft line drive single to Braxton Baker with one out in the third

and allowed only one runner to reach second but that runner was thrown out rounding the bag for a double play when Keaffaber threw behind him after an out at first to end the fourth. The Norse came up with two runs in the fifth and two in the seventh to win game two, 5-2. Collin Dawes, Ryan Keaffaber, Andy Roser and Shane Vigar each had two hits. Vigar went the distance on the mound to earn his first career win, allowing ten hits, walking three and striking out six.

Lagro native named volleyball coach at Valdosta State

Mike Swan VALDOSTA, Ga. – A 27-year veteran in the collegiate coaching ranks, Mike Swan has been named as the new head volleyball

coach at Valdosta State, as announced by VSU Director of Athletics Herb Reinhard Monday. “I am really excited to have Mike join our team,” said Reinhard in making the announcement. “He brings a wealth of experience at a very high level of collegiate volleyball to our program. I have full confidence he will build on the firm foundation already established in our volleyball program and will continue to move

us forward into becoming a program that is prominent on a national stage.” Swan has coached at nearly every level of collegiate volleyball during his career as he has built successful programs at the NAIA, NCAA Division I, II and III levels. During his 27 years in volleyball, Swan has totaled 520 victories, which ranks among the top 40 among active Division I coaches. Eleven times in his career his teams have

won 20 or more matches in a season while he has directed a squad to postseason tournament play on 15 occasions. “I would like to thank President McKinney, Herb Reinhard and the rest of the Selection Committee,” Swan stated. “Everyone I met during the interview process had so many good things to say about working at Valdosta State and about the experiences that student-athletes have when they are

ON FRIDAY, MARCH 15, THE SOUTHWOOD INTRAMURAL SENIORS beat the staff team 69-50. Jordan Boyer lead all scorers with 31 points followed by Ryan Skeens with 17. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Denney paced the Staffers with 16 and 11 points, respectively. Students paid $1 dollar to attend the game. The proceeds were given to the family of sophomore student Jessica Foley, who is currently fighting Leukemia. The senior players wore pink #JessStrong shirts (her favorite color) while the Staff wore lavender #JessStrong shirts. Everyone enjoyed a great game, even Mr. Sparks who received a black eye during play. (photo provided) members of a VSU squad. I am very excited to join the Valdosta State family and look forward to meeting the expectations that come with working at this University.” Swan comes to Valdosta State from Division I Evansville, where he has served as the head coach since 2003. In his 10 seasons at Evansville, Swan tallied 124 victories and twice led his team to postseason play. While his Purple Aces achieved on the

court, they also excelled in the classroom as Evansville was honored with the AVCA Academic Excellence Award eight times in his 10 seasons, including in each of the five years. Five times a Purple Ace was named AllMissouri Valley under Swan while a player was tabbed to the MVC’s AllFreshman team on three occasions. Prior to Evansville, Swan spent five years at Division I Morehead State, where he accumulat-

ed 82 wins. He was named the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year in 2001 after leading his charges to a 23-10 record, one of four years he led the Eagles into postseason play. He coached the 2001 and 2002 OVC Player of the Year as well as the 2001 Freshman of the Year while at Morehead State. His emphasis on success in the classroom was also evident as he directed his squad to the AVCA Academic Excellence (continued on page 27)

Set-up starts at 8:30 a.m., class will begin at 9 a.m.; with a break to eat (bring your own sack-lunch); and will continue until about 4 p.m. Working in both representational and abstract art, Ms. Diamente paints a variety of subjects; nature being a favorite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To develop meaningful imagery, I try to paint my emotional response to the subjectâ&#x20AC;Ś My paintings are alive with deep, rich color, detail, strong contrast, and juicy brushstrokes. I want them complex, so that they seem to have many depths of layers retreating back into space.â&#x20AC;?

Ms. Diamente teaches weekly classes, studio, and traveling workshops; in addition to hosting

workshops of nationally known artists in her studio classroom in Columbia City. For this workshop-

Bass and Bucks to host kids event May 11

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com This Saturday, Bass & Bucks will host their largest kids event ever, a Kicking Bear. Not only is this event packed full of family friendly activities, but it’s all for free – including lunch. Registration begins at 8 a.m., lunch is served from noon to 1, and the event concludes at 4 p.m. Registration is not required, but greatly appreciated.

Kicking Bear, founded by self-taught professional hunter Ray Howell, is a mission-driven mentoring program that introduces kids to archery. “Impacting the children of tomorrow, showing youth a better way of life while providing them with a weekend of fun to experience new things and meet new friends. Nothing we do is as important as the impact that we have on the youth

community. Engaging activities develop values, skills and relationships,” states the Kicking Bear website. “We wanted to do a kids event to get kids involved in the sporting industry,” Sheila Butcher of Bass & Bucks told The Paper of Wabash in an interview. There will be 30 archery stations set up, each with an adult. Kids of any or no experience level will have a chance to try out the sport.

Along with archery, there will be tug-awar, dog demonstrations, arts and crafts, a cooking demo, history drama, archery tag and more. There will also be special guests from the DNR, National Wild Turkey Federation and others. “There will be no charge for this event because we want every kid to be able to experience it. This is not a drop-off event. It’s a day to come spend with your kid and create a memory,” said Sheila. “If you want to be outside and have an experience, come,” she said.

With 157 acres, Bass & Buck has plenty of room to host the event. “We want kids to come out and be with their families. We want to show them there is something outside of living in the city and sitting on the couch playing video games,” Jerry Bishir of Bass & Bucks told The Paper. Sheila added, “Nature has so much to teach us. Here you can use your big voice without shushing. It allows kids to be kids.” Although this is the first Kicking Bear for Bass & Bucks, they

are already planning for next year. “We are going from a day event this year, to a weekend event next year to hopefully something week-long. The vision is pretty big, but you’ve got to start somewhere,” Sheila said. “This year is our inaugural event, but it’s growing and we’re jumping into it with both feet. As years go by, this event should draw more people to Wabash County. We’re hoping to start drawing youth groups, children and volunteers from all over. This is only the sec-

ond Kicking Bear event in Indiana. He (Ray Howell) does these events all over the U.S., and we are lucky enough to be one of the host sites this year,” Jerry said. The main reason Bass & Bucks wanted to host a Kicking Bear is to give families the opportunity to spend time with one another and empower children. “We are teaching the next generation that there is so much out there,” said Sheila. “Kids are ourbest asset we have, and we have got to invest in them.”

Teens Against Dating Abuse announce writing contest winners The month of April marked both Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month. To raise awareness, local students of Teens Against Dating Abuse (TADA) coordinated a first annual writing contest on the topic of relationships, abuse, and bystanders. Local middle and high school students from across the county were invited to participate. Student leaders in TADA selected the winning entries, whose poems will be printed as posters and distributed to schools around the county. There were 20 entrants for the contest. First place went to Sara Stefanatos, Southwood, for her poem called “He Said He Was Sorry.” Second place went to Morgan Miller, Southwood, for her poem called “Again.” The third place winner was Grant Sailors, Wabash, for his poem called “If You Try,” and honorable mention went to Lacey Johnson, Wabash, for her poem called “Bystander.”

Swan’s head coaching career began at Southwood High School in Wabash, Ind. in 1979. During his six seasons with the school, he directed the Knights to a 115-37 record. “The success of the Valdosta State Athletic program as a whole is one that is known nation-wide,” Swan stated after the announcement. “Everyone I talk to tells me that VSU is absolutely a great place to work. I look forward to the new challenges that will

come with taking over this program and building it to match the level of success that the rest of the Blazer teams currently enjoy.” A native of Largo, Ind., Swan graduated from Manchester College in 1979 with a degree in Secondary Education. “We were very pleased with the strength of the pool of applicants for our position,” Reinhard concluded. “As we expected, there was considerable interest in the coaching the program at Valdosta State and I feel strongly that we have found a tremendous new coach to lead us forward.”

Seth Lewis, who has grown up in the tree removal and trimming environment, takes the reins after the tragic death of his father, Randy. It seems ironic

that 22-year old Seth takes over the business at the same age his father did from his father, Bud. With the assistance of an experienced and dedicated crew and his mother, Sharon, who worked alongside his father, Seth looks forward to providing the same quality service that the communi-

Completing the new Welcome Center was just one of the CVB’s many goals. “We always have a work flow project list of what we are going to do. So getting out welcome center was a goal, and getting our new website was a goal. The next big piece we are working on is a collaborative county guide with the Wabash Chamber and the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce as well as the Economic Development Group

of Wabash County and the Plain Dealer. That’s one of our big goals for 2013. The other is to really establish the Wabash County Bike Trail, and get that familiarized. We are looking to launch our own annual ride to bring tourist to the community,” said Flohr. The Welcome Center’s quality is a reflection of the quality of this community,” she said. “When people walk in and say this place is beautiful, that’s really a compliment to themselves and the quality of place our community members have created.”

CADNET Ad Network READER ADVISORY: The national trade association we belong to has purchased the below classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer “employment” but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstances should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
