What’s the deal with these gasoline prices?

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com The rapid change of gasoline prices can be frustrating. The inconsistency in the value of such a vital commodity can make a trip to the pump feel like a trip to the slot machine – “Should I wait to fill my tank until the price drops? What if it goes up just as I run out? Then I’ve overpaid. But I can’t run out of gas! Maybe it’s cheaper down the road…” Eventually, you stop the car at a pump, swipe your card, and grab the handle. You watch as the numbers roll by, but unlike a slot machine, you won’t know until the next day, or later in the week, if you’ve won this round. In late October, gas prices in Wabash approached $3.50 per gallon. While certainly not the highest it’s ever been, it seemed to be more expen-

sive than usual. When locals compared prices in Wabash to those in surrounding towns, they began to wonder why prices at stations in Marion, Huntington, Peru, and North

Manchester were falling to $3.00 as prices in Wabash held. Now, in mid-November, the market has adjusted. On Monday, Nov. 17, the average price in Wabash was $2.93,

much closer to prices in the surrounding area: prices for a gallon in Peru range from $2.89-2.97; North Manchester stations are selling a gallon for (continued on page 6)

Local Author Publishes First Children’s Book

by Sandy Johnson Following her childhood dream, Wabash native Sarah Dawes Graham recently published her first children’s book, Baxter’s Big Adventures, an exciting tale of a pup’s early life and the lessons he learns about the true meaning of friendship. Growing up, Graham received much encouragement from her parents, who assured her that “all things are possible when you have a dream and you always have someone supportive,” she told The Paper. A couple of years ago, Graham began writing her manuscript. With inspiration from her own dog, Baxter, the book’s canine character and his adventure soon evolved. Having the summer off, and with the support and encouragement of her husband, she completed the manuscript in a couple of months. Soon after, she started to look into the publishing process, but that came to a halt due to other responsibilities and events in her life. The manuscript sat until recently, when Graham decided to take time to revisit the topic of publishing the book. With the writing task completed, Graham began the search for someone to illustrate her book. “I wanted the story to come through a child’s eyes,” she explained. After seeing a drawing of a dog that 12-year-old Bella-Saige David of (continued on page 6)

Wabash Little League to offer Challenger Division

AUTHOR OF BAXTER’S BIG ADVENTURES, SARAH DAWES GRAHAM, and book illustrator, Bella-Saige David, will team up for a book signing in conjunction with the Puppets and Dessert program at the library on Tuesday, November 18, from 6:307:30 p.m. (photo provided)

In the 2015 Little League season, Wabash Little League will be bringing the Challenger Division to Wabash County. According to a press release from Little League International, “The Challenger Division of Little League is a program for developmentally and physically challenged youth, helping them to enjoy the full benefits of Little League participation in an athletic environment structured to their abilities.” Though the Challenger Division has been a part of Little League International for 25 years, this will be the first year for the program in Wabash County, and Challenger Division Commissioner, Joy Ruse, sat down with The Paper to discuss why this program is important to the community. “I feel like there is a need for the Challenger Division. A lot of kids in the community need something like this; something they are able to participate in that they might have seen older siblings doing, that they were unable to do. With the Challenger Division, they’re able to play,” Ruse told The Paper. The Challenger Division will differ from typical Little League games in that they play two innings, or a maximum of one and a half hour games. They play through the entire roster and then switch field positions. The Challenger Division also does not keep score or keep track of outs. “They get the chance to run around the bases and get a chance to play on a Little League team,” Ruse continued. Athletes in the Challenger Division will also have the opportunity to have ‘buddies’ who can help them participate in the game as well. “Each athlete can have a buddy to help them play the game. I’m going to be talking with area schools and see if they can help us out by having some of their baseball and softball players participate as buddies. I thought that could be a good thing for athletes to put on college applications too,” added Ruse. Ruse is already looking for volun(continued on page 6)

Coverage Selection for New 2014 Farm Bill Safety Net programs began Nov. 17 Producers have until March 31, 2015, to choose the program best for their operation

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reminds farm owners and producers that the opportunity to choose between the new 2014 Farm Bill established programs, Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC), begins Nov. 17, 2014, and continues through March 31, 2015. The new programs, designed to help producers better manage risk, usher in one of the most significant reforms to U.S. farm programs in decades. “USDA is committed to keeping farm owners and producers well informed on all steps in this process to ensure that they have all of the information that they need before making their coverage choice,” said Farm Service Agency Administrator Val Dolcini. “The new ARC and PLC programs provide a more rational approach to helping farmers manage risk by ensuring families don’t lose the farm because of events beyond their control.” USDA helped create

online tools to assist in the decision process, allowing farm owners and producers to enter information about their operation and see projections that show what ARC and/or PLC will mean for them under possible future scenarios. Farm owners and producers can access the online resources, available at www.fsa.usda.gov/ar c-plc, from the convenience of their home computer or mobile device at any time. “In addition to the new online tools, USDA has done extensive outreach, including partnering with State Cooperative Extension Services to hold meetings and meet with farm owners and producers,” said Dolcini. “USDA leaders will continue visiting with farm owners and producers to share information and answer questions the new programs. We want to help producers boil the information down, understand their options and make the best decision on which program – ARC or PLC – is right for them.” Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain

With all of the items The Thankful Heart has to offer, Teulker’s favorite things to work on are Christmas ornaments. “I love doing specialized ones. I like doing something that is specific to a person. My daughter-in-law has a niece and she has a red teddy bear she will not go anywhere without, and last Christmas, I painted a little snowman girl holding a red teddy bear.” Located at 5321 E State Road 124, Wabash, The

THE PAPER 6 What’s the deal with these gasoline prices?... continued from the front page www.thepaperofwabash.com

$2.89; Huntington stations were more expensive than those in Wabash, ranging from $2.95-2.96 per gallon. While it appears that prices have stabilized temporarily, the question remains: what causes the variance in gasoline prices from day to day and location to location? To answer this question of economics, The Paper reached out to Dr. Michael Kaganovich, chairman of the Indiana University

Department of E c o n o m i c s . Kaganovich pointed to two industry-specific factors that could result in price variation between two similar cities. “First of all, they vary because of county taxes. County taxes may differ,” said Kaganovich. “In Bloomington, our prices are about 20 cents higher than a 20-mile radius, and that’s because Monroe County collects taxes.” Taxes play an

important role in the retail side of the gasoline industry. Federal and state excise taxes each make up roughly 18 cents of the sale price. Sales-use tax is calculated each month based on the average pricing from the six-week period prior to the start of

that month, and is roughly 7 percent. In addition, all taxes associated with gasoline must be paid for upfront. “When I buy gasoline, I pay every tax up front, so then I’ve got a tremendous amount of carrying cost that I have to pay

Interested youth can sign up for the challenger league during Wabash Little League registration. “I want people to contact me, because they will have to fill out a volunteer form and a background check.

excise and sales tax on a gallon of gasoline right now. If anybody’s making a lot of money off gasoline it’s the government.” Given that the national average profit for a gallon of gasoline in a cash sale is 15 cents, it’s easy to see how taxes play a large

role in the gasoline market, however, neither the city nor county levy an additional tax on gasoline, so a difference in tax rate isn’t responsible for the price variation. “It could be that your town requires a specific gasoline for(continued on page 17)

already involved with Little League, I feel it will be an easy, exciting opportunity for Autumn. I really look forward to this Challenger League, because it will be such a great opportunity for special needs kids alike to learn and enjoy the game of baseball,” continued Shidler. “I think we have a need in the community that is not being addressed for some of our kids,” added Ruse. “They will get their own uniform and their own hats. They get everything that kids on a Little League team would get, including pictures. We will accommodate any physical

disabilities that they have.” Currently, the Challenger Division is applying for multiple grants to improve a diamond at the park that will be their field, making it wheelchair accessible, but the group can always use the help and support of the community. If you are interested in supporting the Challenger Division, you can contact Ruse, at 260-330-3475, to make donations or to sponsor a team. “I would like to pledge my full support to this program,” said Bryan Dillon, Wabash Little League president. “I would like our sponsors, donors, volunteers

and family members of the players to know I truly appreciate their support. Without these individuals, over 500 children wouldn’t have this opportunity to play Little League baseball, which has been in this community since 1953.” Interested parties can also contact Bryan Dillon at 260563-8898 or dillonbryshell@aol.com, to donate, sponsor a team, coach or be an umpire for the Division.

Local Author Publishes First Children’s Book... continued from the front page Wabash had drawn, Graham decided to ask her to illustrate the book. A homeschooled student who had been drawing for some time, David had won local art competitions and honed her creative talents with the help of an art tutor. To Graham, she was the perfect artist for the job. To David, the opportunity to use her creative abilities as an illustrator was

one she couldn’t pass up. “I was really excited and anxious to start it,” she said. Once their partnership was formed, the team of Graham and David went into full force. Photos of Baxter were shared, and meetings between David and Baxter were arranged to prepare David for portraying Baxter’s true traits in her illustrations. Graham provided the script, along with some suggestions for the illustrations, and left the rest up to David. “I came up with a lot of ideas on my own,” David said. The most exciting part for David she said was, “Just the fact that I illustrated a book as a kid.” Together Graham and David completed the 28-page book with 23 pages beautifully illustrated through the eyes of a child. “She certainly captured Baxter’s love of life,” admitted Graham. After starting the publishing process in May with Westbow Press of

Bloomington, Graham’s first copy of Baxter’s Big Adventures made it to print in October. Graham’s book has received much attention lately, especially since it’s her first story and it includes a child illustrator. Since its publication, Graham has set up a number of different events to promote the book and make it available for purchase. Future events may include book reading sessions at area schools and libraries and a book signing event at a privately–owned bookstore. Locally, the book can be purchased at Modoc’s Market, and will also be in circulation at the Wabash Carnegie Public Library. Books can also be purchased online at amazon.com (in both Kindle and paperback versions), and at baxtersbigadventures.storenvy.com. For more information about the book and future events, go to the Baxter’s Big Adventures page on Facebook.

THE COMMUNITY HARVEST PARTY was held on a very windy and chilly Oct. 31 in Roann. The Roann Lions Club would like to thank everyone who helped with the party for the

children. With the weather being what it was, most activities were moved into the community building. Vonell Krom braved the cold to pop corn to hand out and several stayed outside with a couple games to let the little visitors know we were still having the party. The Lions Club would like to thank everyone who helped with the games, as the children really enjoyed them. The First Brethren Church had a wagon for hayrides but not many chose to take the cold ride. Hot dogs and chips

were furnished by the Roann Covered Bridge Festival committee, and the Walk by Faith Church provided hot chocolate and hot apple cider. The Roann Lions Club tried out their new donut machine by handing out free donuts. They were delicious! Thanks to our cook, Rick Morris and other Lions Club members for helping to keep those warm donuts available to the guests. There was a great turnout, as the community building was full of little ghosts, princesses, spider men and many

more cute costumes. THERE WERE TWO children’s coats left at the Roann Community Center during the Fall Harvest Party. Please call Carol Long at 765833-9571 or stop by JMS Insurance. A DELICIOUS MEAL was enjoyed by 13 members and 10 husbands when the Perry Do-Rite Home Extension Club met for their annual Thanksgiving meal at the Ebenezer Church. The Christmas party will be at the Ebenezer Church, with the meal being catered on Dec. 9.

Members are to bring kid’s gifts for the Salvation Army. Members were told to decorate tissue boxes and bring them to the April meeting for an interesting project. THE ROANN LIONS met on Nov. 6 at the town hall. For the restoration that needs to be done to the log cabin, Keith Ford reported that the damage to the logs has been checked out. This may be postponed until spring due to the weather. Rick Morris reported on the purchase of the donut making machine. Rick had applied for a grant from R.E.M.C. for the Lions Club and they were happy that the Lions Club did receive that grant.

Robert Magley, 87 U.S. Air Force veteran May 16, 1927 – Nov. 14, 2014

Robert E. Magley, 87, a former resident of Wabash, passed quietly on Nov. 14. He was born May 16, 1927 in Wells County, the son of John and June Magley. He grew up in Wells County with brothers Richard and George Magley who both preceded him. At an early age, Bob enjoyed scouting and earned the honor of being an Eagle Scout. His subsequent service in the Air Force provided him with the opportunity to learn to fly which ultimately turned out to be a life passion. After completing his enlistment, he studied at Indiana University and was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. In college he met the woman, which would turn out to be his wife of 63 years, Wanda L. (Summers) Magley; who survives. He is also survived by four children, J. Lynn Orr, Winchester; Robert E. Magley, Waterloo; David J. Magley, Wabash; and Rebecca A. Ebbinghouse, Franklin, Tenn.; and eleven grandchildren. Bob graduated from Indiana University School of Law. After being admitted to the Indiana Bar in 1955, he practiced briefly in Indianapolis, before moving to Wabash, in 1962, where he continued in private practice for nearly 40 years. Outside his family, the law was a love second only to flying. He enjoyed flying, logging many hours traveling throughout the country and to neighboring countries. Flying seemed to give him a joy and internal peace escaping the rigors of daily life. He was a member of the Lawyer/Pilots Bar Association and often he and Wanda would fly their plane to different venues to attend conferences and meetings. Bob didn’t see it as work if he got to fly there. At his passing he will be warmly remembered by his family and friends. He taught us all memorable lessons of life which will be passed on for generations to come. Some part of Bob will continue to be reflected long after his passing. If you knew him, he is a part of you. A memorial gathering will be held at the Honeywell House on Friday, Nov. 21 from 3-6 p.m. Preferred memorials in lieu of flowers are to Parkview Hospital Foundation for the Mirro Center for Research and Innovation, which focuses on the advancement of cardiac research, and may be sent to Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Service, 1241 Manchester Avenue, Wabash, IN 46992.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the deal with these gasoline prices?... continued from page 6

SQU I RREL CREEK

your fuel costs over the course of the year, so you make a deal with the gas station owner that he will sell you a certain amount of gasoline at $3.00. If gas falls to $2.50, you overpaid, but if it rises to $4.00, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a great deal. Either way, you know what your costs will be, and you can make strategic financial decisions based upon that set price, rather than depending solely on the daily price.

stores out there that have 3,000 stores across the United States. You put that kind of volume in one place for yourself and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful.â&#x20AC;? In simple terms, what this means is that larger companies can more effectively control their costs and limit their exposure to fluctuations in the market. By trading in futures, a company can effectively lock down a price for a period of time. Imagine that, as a consumer, you want to regulate

price just before the market falls. Smaller retailers, like those in Wabash, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always sell enough fuel to keep up with the price changes, and they can be stuck with an overpriced shipment of gasoline. Just as consumers curse the day they filled their cars with gasoline at $3.50 per gallon, only to see it drop to $3.00 the next day, gas station owners can find themselves in a similar situation, but on a much larger scale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can be upsidedown in our gasoline, because you have to bring 8,000 gallons of gasoline at a time,â&#x20AC;? said Reynolds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it takes to turn over 8,000 gallons of gas for the large marketers (in town), but I guarantee itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than 3 or 4 days. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like a week, and so when that happens, within 3 days of buying that load, you could be upside down by 40 cents (per gallon) and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only making a very thin margin off that product to start with.â&#x20AC;? These thin margins are the only thing that allows J.M. Reynolds Oil Company to operate. Located on the corner of Canal and Huntington streets, J.M. Reynolds is a small, independent gas station focused on customer service and commercial accounts. The company was started by Reynoldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather (also named Jim Reynolds) in 1946 as a Standard Oil station. In 1975, the company incorporated as J.M. Reynolds Oil Company. His father, Ron, retired nine years ago, at which time, Jim took over the business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sell our business on customer service,â&#x20AC;? said Reynolds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I have guys that pump the fuels for our customers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what differentiates us from the market.â&#x20AC;? While being independent and local offers some advantages, the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size can sometimes limit Reynolds ability to compete with nation-wide brands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;$2.97 is my price today. I drove to Indianapolis today, and I saw prices as low as $2.85, even $2.79 I think,â&#x20AC;? Reynolds said on Nov. 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting those prices from, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knowâ&#x20AC;Śbut thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another side to the fuel market that, as a small marketer, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to. They could be hedging their fuels and playing the hedge game too. You buy off of NIMEX or the Chicago trade, and you can hedge that against your physical buys. There are convenience

mula,â&#x20AC;? Kaganovich continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and this means that the regional refiner has to manufacture gasoline with a specific formula, and this means there may be less supply of your specific type as opposed to some other [type,] so that will affect prices, but I doubt thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case. That may be the case in Chicago or in California; they notoriously demand some specific formula.â&#x20AC;? While specialized formulas play a role in some locations, just like taxes, Wabash County has no special requirements in regard to gasoline. With these two industry-specific factors out of the question, the answer may lie in two ideas present in any market: volatility and competition. Volatility is a measure of the variance in price for a particular investment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sixty to seventy percent of what we pay at the pump is based on what crude oil is trading at, and for a lot of reasons, crude oil has been down for the last several months, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been reflected in the lower pump prices,â&#x20AC;? said Scot Imus, Executive Director of the Indiana Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exceedingly low compared to where we were at last year.â&#x20AC;? According to the Oil Price Information Service, the average price per gallon in 2013 was $3.49, down 12 cents from 2012. The average for this year is expected to be lower once again. Though the average over the last few years has been somewhat consistent, prices at the pump seem to jump up and down constantly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The volatility within the fuels market on a daily basis in the Midwest has been extreme,â&#x20AC;? said Reynolds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first started 17 years ago, it would be unusual to see a tenth of a cent change in a night, or for that matter, a half a cent change over a two-week period. Today, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a 20 cent swing in the market in one night.â&#x20AC;? This rapid change in the market price can cause problems for owners of small gas stations. A large gas station in a big city may be able to buy and sell multiple transports of fuel in a single day. With a quick turnover rate, they are able to match the markets more closely and avoid being stuck with a large volume of gas purchased at a high

The Story of Jace: a story of perseverance and faith By Bill Barrows Periodically, I have the privilege to witness heartwarming and amazing things that happen in the course of my daily activities in youth sports at the Wabash County YMCA. This week, I watched as a young man took a huge step forward on a long road back to regaining his health. Jace Randel’s parents, Jason and Amanda, registered

him to play 4th & 5th grade tackle football in August. Jace expected to play with a number of his classmates on the Cowboys team this fall while learning some life lessons along the way. He had no idea the roller coaster ride he had in front of him. ”On Aug. 20 (ironically, the same day as the first football practice) Jace began not feeling well. I took him in to his pediatri-

cian after a few days of stomach pain. He ordered blood work, just to be sure it wasn’t an appendicitis. The blood work came back abnormal,” explained Amanda. After consulting with their pediatrician, the Randels prepared for a trip to Riley Hospital. “The Pediatrician explained to us that Jace’s blood work had come back abnormal, and after consulting with a few Riley Oncologists, they thought Jace had leukemia.” Amanda continued, “We were being sent to Riley to run more blood work and prepare him for a bone marrow biopsy.” Jason & Amanda told their son what this meant; Jace was crushed. “I told him that we were NOT putting our faith and trust into one test. We would be putting our faith in God who, we KNEW, could do anything!!” She explained, “What a calming affect that can have on a person, to know WHO is in control and WHO is all powerful,” The blood work at Riley came back inconclusive. Jace received a platelets transfusion in order to perform the biopsy to prevent excessive bleeding. He had an allergic reaction to the platelet transfusion. Instantly, he began to break out in hives and his throat started swelling. After giving him large doses of Benadryl, he was finally able to sleep. The biopsy came back negative. Several other tests were run, for conditions such as; mono, autoimmune markers, and vitamin deficiencies, and all came back normal. Normal was a relative term. Jace wasn’t getting any worse, but was also wasn’t getting any better either. Throughout his weekly trips to Riley, Jace has been through numerous blood draws, an abdominal ultrasound, abdominal CAT scan, MRI of his spine and an MRI of his brain. It’s been a waiting game for months. Each test that came back negative has been another hurdle crossed. Up until this incident, (continued on page 20)

THE PAPER 20 The Story of Jace: a story of perseverance and faith... continued from page 18 www.thepaperofwabash.com

Jace has been a normal and healthy kid with abnormal labs. According to Amanda, “As the weeks progressed, Jace began to deteriorate, physically. He began to have upper thigh pain, chest, shoulder pain, & intense abdominal

pain & weakness. So bad he couldn’t walk for several weeks.” I watched Jason bring him to the Field of Dreams for the Cowboys games, set up a chair for him on the sidelines, and carry Jace to the chair so that he could be with his team-

mates. This was another low point, because he just wasn’t getting any better. About a month ago, he started feeling more normal. Through the frustration, Jace began to come to terms with the routine. A couple of weeks ago, Tests

revealed that, at some point, Jace had Mycoplasma, which is walking pneumonia. The doctor explained that in rare cases, Mycoplasma can cause muscle pain and weakness. In even more rare cases, it can cause the abnormal blood counts. Other tests revealed that the antibodies that attacked the Mycoplasma (which is exactly what your body is suppose to do) was and still is attacking his red blood cells, somewhat like an autoimmune disease does. There are only a few other documented cases like Jace’s; the last documented case

was in New Zealand. Through all of this, the Cowboys coaches, Ryan Rosen and Mike Jones, have tried to make Jace feel part of the team, as much as possible. A big moment was on the horizon, but none of us knew it. Let’s backtrack a few years. Several years ago, there was another young man who wanted desperately to play football with his cousin and his friends, but could not because of the fact that he has heart issues and doctors said there could be no physical contact. He and his parents came to me to see if he could play football on

a limited basis as a kicker, very similar circumstances as Jace. His name is Matt Porter. He is now a senior at Southwood, works here at the Y and is a pitcher on the Southwood baseball team. He handled the kicking duties for his youth football team and became very good at it. Jace was able to suit up for a couple of practices and for the championship game of the playoffs this past week, but could not participate in the physical contact. He had never been a kicker before. But with a couple of minutes left in the game, Jace

entered the game to attempt the extra point after a touchdown. He drilled it! As if he had been doing it all season. I watched the sheer emotion of his parents, with tears in my own eyes as Jace and his teammates celebrated the kick. His road to recovery has started, and this high point was worth it to all of us in attendance. Jace is on the road to recovery, we wish him the best. He is a strong young man with a positive attitude, and a good example of what we want our youth to be.

The American Cancer Society marks the Great American Smoke-out on the third Thursday of November each year by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By quitting — even for one day — smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier

life – one that can lead to reducing cancer risk. Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US, yet about 42 million Americans still smoke cigarettes — a bit under 1 in every 5 adults. As of 2012, there were also 13.4 million cigar smokers in the US,

and 2.3 million who smoke tobacco in pipes — other dangerous and addictive forms of tobacco. Why Quit? The health benefits of quitting start immediately from the moment of smoking cessation. Quitting while you are younger will reduce your health risks more, but quitting at any age can give back years of

life that would be lost by continuing to smoke.

After several years as a pen pal, writing back and forth with member Carol Berg, Anne Baraza is traveling to Wabash from Nairobi, Kenya to share her story with the First United Methodist Church in Wabash.

O.J. Neighbours Elementary staff honored by Wal-Mart by Emily Armentrout The Wabash WalMart recently chose the O.J. Neighbours Elementary staff as their Teacher Appreciation award recipients. The honor comes with a

$1,000 Wal-Mart gift card to be used by the staff to purchase school supplies for their classrooms. “What I tried to do was talk to some of my employees and customers about the schools in the area,” Justin Ramsey,

Wabash Wal-Mart manger, told The Paper. Along with the $1,000 from the WalMart Foundation, the local Wal-Mart donated a cake and other supplies from the store to hold a surprise presentation for the O.J. Neighbours staff. “It was a complete surprise to me,” O.J. N e i g h b o u r s Elementary principal, Danielle Miller, told The Paper. “I received a phone call from one of the managers at Wal-Mart, telling me their staff had selected us.” “It’s really an honor because we have such a heart for what we do. Teachers are not people who go out looking for praise. We do it because we love students and we want to make our community better. So for them to call me up and say that we’ve been selected is really nice to see that people in the community can see the work that we are doing,”

everybody here puts in many hours of their own time and they spend their own money. We’re doing this for kids to help motivate them and get them excited about education so

it’s wonderful to be recognized,” added Mrs. Sears, a third grade teacher with the O.J. Neighbours staff. “It’s nice to be recognized for the work we do because what we have here are really hardworking people who do the right thing, because they’re supposed to and not because they’re going to be rewarded, but to be recognized for that is special. The people here, past and present, are not people who expect recognition. These are people who are committed to children, who are committed to public education. There is no expectation that people are going to honor us outside of this,” added Mrs. Kirk, a Title I teacher at O.J. Neighbours. Principal Miller is proud of the staff she works with at O.J. Neighbours and believes that though the staff does not seek out recognition, this honor is well deserved. “I watch my staff every day, put their heart and their soul into their work and I see them trying to do all they can to make the students in the class successful. I see firsthand every day how hard they work for their students. I know this honor will speak volumes to them, but they aren’t people who usually seek it out. It’s so nice to get those words of encouragement, especially when you are in it day-to-day, so I think those keep the teachers going,” said Principal Miller.

Ulrey resigns as MJSHS assistant principal By Shaun Tilghman There was a late addition to the agenda for last Tuesday’s monthly Manchester Community Schools (MCS) Board meeting, and it turned out to be an important personnel item, as the board eventually approved the resignation of Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School (MJSHS) Assistant Principal Lisa Ulrey. Ulrey, who was not in attendance, officially accepted the role on April 1,after having served as the interim assistant principal since Oct. 1, 2013, when Brandon Penrod resigned to take the business manager position at Fremont Community Schools. A 1990 graduate of Manchester High School, Ulrey was a three-sport athlete competing in swimming, basketball, and track. Following graduation, she attended Valparaiso University and earned a Bachelor of Science

degree in Mathematics with a minor in Secondary Education. She also competed on the swim team at Valparaiso University. Upon graduating from college, Ulrey began a 13-year tenure with Warsaw High School. During her time at Warsaw she held several positions, including 8-10 years as a math teacher, which was broken up for maternity leaves for her two daughters: Madyson and Emma. She eventually earned her master’s in Administration, as well as receiving her Administrative License from Indiana University Purdue University-Fort Wayne. After serving as the Dean of Girls at Warsaw, Ulrey transitioned to the position of attendance coordinator before becoming assistant principal for the freshman grade level. She then decided to return

home for work, and for three years she worked as the School to Work coordinator at MJSHS, but her wealth of experience made her an excellent choice for the vacant assistant principal

position. “I would like to thank Lisa Ulrey for her services to our district, both as a teacher and as an administrator,” said MCS Superintendent Dr. Bill Reichhart.

LISA ULREY RESIGNED from her position as assistant principal at Manchester Jr./Sr. High to begin a new business venture with Marlene Richter. (photo provided)

During the time for visitors’ comments, Julie Cassel, a special education teacher at MJSHS, expressed her feelings upon hearing about Ulrey’s resignation. “I’ve been with M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools for 27 years,” Cassel said, “and I just want-

ed to tell you that it was with great sadness that I learned Lisa Ulrey resigned today. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated her, but I told her many times that I appreciated her. I was saddened and shocked to learn that we’re losing such a great asset.”

MJSHS Principal Nancy Alspaugh later stated that Ulrey submitted her resignation on Tuesday and will soon start a new business. “She and Marlene Richter are starting a business called Hot Off the Press, and she thought this would be (continued on page 28)

THE PAPER

November 19, 2014

What’s the deal with these gasoline prices?... continued from page 17 National gasoline retailers do this on a large scale, hedging the physical gasoline they’re buying with gasoline futures they trade, minimizing their exposure to changes. While they may purchase gasoline at a high price one day, they know what they’ll pay in the future, and they can use this to determine their pricing strategy. Small, independent companies like J.M. Reynolds don’t have the volume to play the markets in this manner. In addition to trading by companies that sell and consume petroleum, new players in the futures game are changing the way the markets work. “Prices move much greater than they ever have moved before, and that’s just the sophistication of the industry. It used to be people buying futures of crude oil were users of crude oil,” said Imus. “Southwest Airlines would buy futures of crude oil, because they wanted to keep

their costs low and hedge against big increases, but in the late 2000s, within the last 8 years or so, those who are buying crude oil features are investment houses looking for returns on investments, so if a tribal chief in Nigeria has a hiccup, there might be a panic to drive prices higher. It’s a lot of volatility, because people never used to be trading crude oil as necessarily a commodity like a stock, but they traded it and bought it because it was a commodity that they were going to use.“ As stock traders venture into oil futures, the oil futures market begins to reflect the volatility of the stock market. Rather than trading to hedge risk and minimize losses, outside investors are looking for a quick buck, causing large market fluctuations. As important as market volatility is to the price at the pump, one factor trumps all. “Volatility has a lot to do with it,” said R e y n o l d s .

“Competition I think has a lot more to do with it.” When a consumer sees that local gas prices are higher than those in a neighboring town, they start to ask questions. Speculative conversations amongst their friends may include accusations of collusion – an illegal agreement between retailers to keep prices artificially high. Suspicions of this nature can be fueled by the industry’s tight-lipped approach to answering such questions. For this story, The Paper attempted to contact a number of gas stations in the area. An employee of Speedway, which is corporately owned, quickly offered the number for their corporate media relations person. The calls went unreturned. After obtaining the name and number of a local Marathon franchise owner, the individual was unable to be reached, and voicemail messages were left; we still haven’t

heard from him. Another Marathon station operator who leases a location happy to talk with us, as long as we agreed not to use his name in the story. The owner of a Mobil station in the county quickly stated that she couldn’t speak to media in any way, offering the name and number of her market manager; the owner wouldn’t even give her name to reference, and voicemails left with the market manager were not answered. While this “no comment” approach may raise flags in the mind of an interested consumer, the reason for the approach is clear. Those who own, lease, or manage a franchise of a large gasoline company don’t want to say the wrong thing and inadvertently cause trouble with their superiors, or risk losing the franchise altogether. At the same time, corporate public relations departments for multi-billion dollar oil companies likely

discard a request for comment by a small newspaper in rural Indiana. To the question of collusion, Imus had a clear answer. “Do gas prices ever go down?” Imus asked. “Why would they ever go down? If the industry is so good at collusion, why would we ever lower the prices? I mean, they would always go up! If we were so good, we wouldn’t be getting 15-cent margin on a credit card sale, we’d be getting a dollar margin on a credit card sale. Competition has served Hoosiers well. It’s a competitive gasoline market. We’ve historically ranked below the national average in statewide margins here in Indiana over the last decade, and that’s because our market is extremely competitive. We haven’t come close to 15-cent cash sale return in a long time.” In addition to the fact that Indiana’s

average profit margins on gasoline are below the national average, Imus cited state regulation as one reason collusion would be unlikely. “In this state, we have a very aggressive attorney general’s office who has a hotline that fields calls and does investigations when warranted, so theirs that disincentive,” said Imus. The consumer complaint hotline number is 1-800-382-5516, and consumers with a concern about unfair prices can file a complaint. Imus contends, however, that higher prices in Wabash may be a result not of collusion locally, but of fierce competition in other locations. “First of all, everybody comes to the conclusion that Wabash’s prices aren’t fair; could it be that those other prices are even below cost?” said Imus. “So the question really is not, “are they unfair” or “why are they so high,” it could be,

“why are the other ones so low.” You basically price based upon the competition around you, not so much on your invoice.” When most people think about how a station sells gasoline, they probably envision it working much like J.M. Reynolds Oil Company. They purchase gasoline at a price, sell it for a slightly higher price, and the difference is their profit. “In my business specifically, I don’t have a convenience store, so I have to rely on the thin margins of gasoline and diesel fuels that I have to basically run a business, so I really have to be mindful of my margins,” said Reynolds. “At the same time, I’m local. I want to be as fair to the consumer as I possibly can, and that’s why you’ll notice over the last three months we’ve been the cheapest in town.” One way that Reynolds is able to (continued on page 27)

What’s the deal with these gasoline prices?... continued from page 25 turn a profit while keeping prices competitive is by avoiding the costly charges associated with credit and debit card processors. Reynolds accepts cash, checks, and a proprietary card with a monthly billing system. This keeps credit card fees from eating away at the transactions’ small profit margins and allows him to compete with large companies. This approach, however, is very different from other gas stations. “Gas has always been, what I would call a loss-leader to everybody,” said Reynolds. “It’s always been a tight margin industry; gasoline has never been the product that everybody wanted to sell. It was the product that everybody wanted to give away so they could sell everything else. It’s that product that you have to draw people in to your store to buy candy, and soda, and cigarettes and

chips, and lottery tickets, which are all huge margin products.” Considering that the average profit on a cash sale of a gallon of gasoline is 15 cents across the country, it’s easy to see why convenience store owners would focus on the sale of the products inside their store, from which they can make much more money. With this dynamic at play, the goal is no longer selling gasoline; the goal is attracting people to your convenience store using a low gasoline price. “If you and I owned gas stations and we’re across the street from each other, if I want to make 15 cents at my station on a cash sale, which is about 10 cents on a credit card sale, and you post your price 8 cents lower than I am, I’m not going to have very many customers. Where I make my money is on selling

you a soda, selling you a bag of chips, those type of items, but nobody is going to buy gas at your station and then come over to my station to buy their soda, so I need to capture that sale, and I do that by having a gas price that you feel comfortable with as a consumer.” From this perspective, the fluctuation of gas prices starts to make more sense. The goal of most gas stations is not make a fair profit from the sale of gasoline, but rather to get as many people into their store to buy non-gasoline products as possible. With this in mind, gas station marketing makes a bit more sense. “The industry makes it easy on the consumers. We put the prices on signs so you don’t even have to pull in. You can look from the highway, depending on what deal you want to get, and I have to match the price, even though I don’t want to do it, even though invoices might be higher that day than yours, I have to match that price and live with it, because if I don’t, I’m going to lose all of my customers,” said Imus. The fact that gas prices are so easy to see makes retail gasoline business different from most others. “How much is a gallon of milk at your local grocery store?” Imus asked. “I don’t really know the answer to that question, so I park my car, walk all the way to the back of the grocery store – because usually the milk is in the back – and I find out what a gallon costs. What do I do if it’s 5 cents more? I buy it. So with gasoline prices, people are obviously concerned about it, and that’s understandable, but it’s one of the most transparent prices there are in the marketplace, because it is so easily identifiable.” This high degree of transparency can create fierce competition between competitors, driving the price – and the profit margins – lower in certain areas. “For example, Lafayette has been extremely brutal in terms of competition for the last several months,’ said Imus. “They’ve seen significantly low prices, and that is because people

are just selling below cost.” If that has you confused, you’re not alone. It seems counter-intuitive that a gas station would sell gasoline at a loss. With each gallon sold, the business looses money, but gasoline is only one side of the business; it’s the sales inside that make the business real money anyway. “Most people, when they see a high gas price in their community think, ‘Well, if Lafayette is 40 cents cheaper, those guys aren’t loosing money on a gallon of gas. That would be idiotic! So then my people here must be really ripping me of, because they’re 40 cents more expensive than Lafayette,’ but the fact is, there are areas in this state and there are times in this state when marketers, for whatever reason, sell below cost. That makes anybody who is selling at a fair price – the person who invested in that station and is supplying a needed product to that community, who is getting a fair return on their investment – it makes them look bad because there are places that are selling below cost because of competition,” said Imus. Looking at Monday’s gasoline prices, this principle appears to be at work in Warsaw. On the same day that stations in and around Wabash County were selling gasoline for $2.89$2.99, stations in Warsaw ranged from $2.67 to $2.77. According to Imus, this isn’t because stations in Wabash are making a huge profit – at Wabash’s price of $2.93, Imus predicts that retailers are seeing a profit margin smaller than the national average of 15 cents per gallon. What it does mean is that competition for customers has likely driven Warsaw stations to sell below cost, meaning that every gallon sold is done so at a loss. If a gas station can capture market share and get customers to buy snacks and drinks, it can afford to temporarily sell gasoline at a loss. From this perspective, the sale of gasoline is more like marketing than it is a profitable commodity. Both to the delight of gas sta(continued on page 36)

Ulrey resigns as MJSHS assistant principal... continued from page 23 the best thing for her business and her family,” Alspaugh explained during a follow-up interview. “She did a great job in many areas here and I know that we will miss her school spirit and enthusiasm,” Alspaugh continued. “I really appreciated all of the hours that she put in, and I know that the staff and students did as well. Also, as a veteran administrator, it was fun to have someone new come in with so many great ideas and such passion for what we’re doing – that’s probably what I appreciated most.” In other business, the board consented on an overnight field

trip request for the annual FFA State Convention at Purdue University in June 2015, and two Sunday facility rentals, including: Nov. 15th to Tri Kappa and Dec. 14th to the Old German Baptist Brethren Youth Group. The board also approved the request to create a Winter Drumline at MJSHS. During the meeting, Dr. Reichhart also recommended board approval for the following donations: -An anonymous donation of $1,500 to the MJSHS Student Programs and Assistance Fund. -An anonymous donation of $15 to the MJSHS Science

Olympiad Program. -An anonymous donation of $112.50 to the MJSHS Volleyball Program. -An anonymous donation of $800 to the MJSHS Boys’ Basketball Program forthe purchase of jerseys. Finally, the board approved the following personnel items: -Manchester Intermediate School: Leave of Absence for Jen Birch during Dec.12-18 (three personal days and two unpaid days). Employment change for Susan Finney from Instructional Assistant to Grade 4 Maternity Leave Teacher; JoEtta Herrmann increase of 2.5 hours as Instructional

Assistant; and Trina Semler increase of 2.25 hours as Instructional A s s i s t a n t . Employment of Joel Eichenauer, Heather Terflinger, and Andrew Zimmerman as Intramural Boys’ Basketball Coaches. -Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School: Resignation of Lisa Ulrey as Assistant P r i n c i p a l .

Fagan thanks supporters of Cruisn’ for Cures

Dear editor, A special thank you to everyone who supported Cruisin’ for Cures, a motorcycle charity event held on Saturday, Sept. 20 in Wabash. We could not have planned a better day

with regards to the beautiful weather, which we enjoyed for riding south. Motorcyclists enjoyed a view from the beer garden at the Morse Lake pit stop near Indianapolis includ-

CRUISIN’ FOR CURES riders were joined by Indianapolis Colts cheerleaders at the half point of the ride before returning to Wabash for a party at Harry’s Old Kettle Saloon. (photo provided)

was held at Harry’s Old Kettle Saloon in

Wabash. More than $2,600 was raised

from sponsorships, donations, registra-

tion fees, drawings and an auction. Proceeds were donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, whose mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. It was truly great to see support from everyone including old friends, as well as others from the area that just happened to be at The Kettle during the tailgate. Your contributions for the drawings and auction were certainly impactful. A special thank you to David Smith, a.k.a “Smitty,” for providing entertainment at the tailgate, Brandt’s Harley Davidson for allowing us to kick off the ride at your lot, Harry Kilmer for hosting the tailgate, and my mother, Henri Leonard, for organizing and preparing the tailgate food. Finally, thank you to Guenin Law, M&B Body Shop and Monarch B e v e r a g e (Indianapolis) for supporting us financially! Your thoughtful consideration in supporting this great cause made an impact not someday, but today! Amanda Fagan, Campaign Specialist for Leukemia Lymphoma Society

tion owners and the despair of consumers in Warsaw, Imus and Reynolds say these prices will soon bounce back up, just as the high prices in Wabash a few weeks ago dropped back down. “You’ve seen it in the pricing. Everyone has moved. There’s only so long that you can sell it at a loss before you’ve got to bump it up and start making those mar-

gins again, so it’s a game. Honestly, it’s a game of, ‘how far can I drive it down until I won’t be able to do business at a loss,’ and what price can you move it up to in order to make some of that margin back,” said Reynolds. “A company like Speedway, they’re probably just taking advantage of a market dynamic, because they’ve got stores all over the place.

they may be selling it for $2.79 somewhere else, they’re selling it at $3.00 bucks here, and they’re making up some margins for a loss-leader in some other large metropolitan area. In my case, we like consistency, we like fair prices, we like customer service, and it’s worked for us for 20 years.” After 17 years in the business, Reynolds will be the first to tell you that he doesn’t fully understand how gasoline pricing works. Then again, it’s hard to see how anyone could. At a very basic level, the cost of gasoline is tied to the market price of crude oil. The price of crude oil can fluctuate based on changes in supply and demand, as well as international politics and the whims of investors. The location of a gas station plays a role in determining transportation costs, taxes, and gas formulation. After these factors influence the cost to a retailer, the price – and the retailer’s profits – are ultimately determined by the local market. If everyone sells at a fair

price, the market stays consistent. The minute one retailer sacrifices profits for a chance at capturing market share, every other gas station has to adjust to stay competitive. Once they adjust, the advantage to the leader is gone, and the prices rise back to normal. Ultimately, all of this confusion works to determine the advertised price of a product that the retailer is only selling to get customers in the door to buy other, more profitable products. With this in mind, Imus had one final thought for anyone wondering, “What’s the deal with these gasoline prices?” “I would ask the consumer what he expects that retailer to make as a return,” said Imus. “I think most people think a retailer deserves a return on selling that product, and I think they would be very surprised to find out that the return that the station is actually getting is probably lower than the return [that the consumer] thinks they ought to be getting.”

by Gary Andrews Not only did the Wabash Lady Apache basketball team open their 2014-15 season with an impressive 6044 win over Mississinewa Friday; they got to be part of history as senior Claire Cromer went off for 42 points to set the Wabash single game scoring record. The Lady Apaches dominated right from the start, jumping out to an 11-0 lead and leading 14-4 after the end of the quarter. Claire Cromer had all 14 points for Wabash. Mississinewa would cut the Wabash lead to 16-10 early in the second quarter before Shelby Stone buried two shots from behind the arch to build the lead to 22-10. The Indians again cut the lead to single digits before Cromer drained back-to-back

three’s, then hit four straight free throws to increase the lead to 31-18. At 31-22 Cromer would hit a shot before the buzzer as Wabash led 33-22 at the half. Kristin Cromer and Sarah Puckett would get in on the scoring action in the third while Claire Cromer kept rolling as the Lady Apaches built their lead to 45-25 before leading 45-26 after three. Claire Cromer would hit a three to get the Wabash scoring going in the fourth as sister Kristin hit two free throws as Wabash rolled to a 60-44 win. Claire Cromer led the way with 42 points. Shelby Stone and Kristin Cromer added 6 points each, Sarah Puckett 4, Katie McCauley 2.
