Trio of deer hunters charged with baiting deer in southern Wabash County

Indiana conservation officers, acting on information received from an informant, located three deer hunters near Lafontaine, who were hunting over areas that had been baited with water softener salt pellets. Officers raided the baited hunting areas by four-wheel-drive trucks and all terrain vehicles in the early morning hours of November 12, which was opening day for the deer firearms season. Tony L. Baker of Waterloo, H. Brent Davis of Auburn and Bradley D. Schilling of Auburn were charged with one count each of hunting deer by aid of bait. All three suspects had their firearms seized. Several other unoccupied baited stands were located in the area, which officers believe were going to be hunted from at some point. The suspects admitted to placing the bait in the field in an attempt to lure deer to their hunting area. Indiana conservation officers remind hunters that an area is considered baited for 10 days after the removal of the bait and any contaminated soil from the bait site. Scents and lures are lawful to use, however any substance that may be eaten by deer would be considered unlawful bait. “Baiting deer is not a practice that conservation officers and ethical sportsmen should or will tolerate,” stated investigating officers. The regular deer firearms season is in until Nov. 27.

Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

College Corner Brethren Church holds 125th anniversary celebration by Brent Swan After 125 years in Wabash County, past and present members of College Corner Brethren Church, 8996 S 500 W, Wabash, held a variety of programs and services to mark the occasion on Nov. 12 and 13. Over the past few years, College Corner experienced a period of growth that led to a variety of changes in not only the makeup of the congregation itself, but also the physical appearance of the church. One of those changes, a 200-seat addition completed in 2002, came about after the previous church building began having difficulty seating the increased membership. “We knew that we needed the space,” Faust explained. “But we didn’t know going in to it how it would work out. You never want to take a loan out, if at all possible, but in the end we decided to move forward

and it’s something that ended up working out well.” The new addition allowed the congregation to further its outreach by creating more room for members and allowing for future growth. The new addition has also allowed the church to utilize the musical talent that God has blessed the church with. “Our church has always been blessed with a multitude of musical talent within the membership, and this addition has allowed us to continue to enjoy it,” Cindy Wilson explained. Over the weekend of Nov. 11, the celebration at College Corner kicked off with a homecoming concert Nov. 12, which according to members was a great success. During the concert members of the church sang songs and shared memories. The concert was brought to an end with all of the church’s soloists

Each person in attendance was given a card to record their memories of the church experience that day to be revealed at the next opening of the

box. Dr. Dan Lawson, formerly of College Corner, now with Ashland University, gave the Children’s Story and the sermon entitled “Lean Back, Kick Forward.” During the morning service the congregation was able to burn the mortgage for the new addition, which fulfilled a year-long goal for the anniversary on Nov. 11. Those involved in the burning were

past 125 years, the church has remained the same at its core. “Our desire is to continue to preach the gospel and win souls to Christ,” Faust said of the church’s goal for the next 25 years. “That is still our main objective, and we need to remember why our church is here. It’s not so much our church as it is God’s church. If we stray from that, we get off track.”

Skeans named 2011 Healthcare Hero

THE DUKE ENERGY FOUNDATION recently awarded a $2,500 grant to the Honeywell Center in Wabash for its Educational Outreach Program. The program, now in its 13th year, promotes arts-in-education opportunities for more than 38,000 students in 12 counties through classroom residencies, bus-in theater shows, internships, festivals and art exhibits. The program relies on contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations.

Jane Skeans was named the 2011 Healthcare Hero at the Wabash County Hospital Foundation Gala on Nov. 12. Skeans was honored for her 25 years of dedicated service as the Wabash County health nurse. In September of this year, Skeans retired from the Wabash County Health Department. She was noted by her 15 nominators as being proactive in her commitment to the health of the people of Wabash County, especially children. Skeans was nominated by eight school officials, all of whom expressed deep appreciation for her work as an invaluable resource and a tireless advocate for the health of children and families in Wabash County. From providing flu vaccines and immunizations in the schools, sharing health education to students in health fairs to being a wealth of information to parents, school officials stated that Skeans has had a tremendous impact on fulfilling school wellness goals. Another successful impact from Skeans is her countywide crusade for people receiving flu vaccines. To reach as many adults and children as possible, Jane and her staff have held vaccine clinics throughout our county in fire stations, churches, workplaces and schools. Wherever there’s a

place to vaccinate, it’s likely that Jane would arrange to be there. Jane was instrumental in creating a flu vaccine clinic at the Manchester Clinic, making vaccines convenient to receive for families in that community. Skeans is one of the first county nurses in the state to have offered vaccines on Saturdays and she willingly went to the homes of the homebound to assure they received a vaccine. School nurses, including M.A. Hire, RN of Manchester Community Schools and Sandra Boone, RN of Metro School District, praised Skeans as an awesome friend who has played a large part in getting students immunized. She took it upon herself to go into the schools to immunize the children. Sandra Boone shared how Skeans “has administered thousands of immunizations to students at a savings of thousands of dollars to families. Coming into the schools is not something she had to do, or that many county nurses choose to do. But, Jane was more than willing to do to make it easier for our kids and families. It also helps to keep our kids in school.” M.A. Hire states, “Jane has been an advocate at state meetings of county nurses encouraging

them to get into the schools. She has spoken at school nurse conferences encouraging them to invite county nurses into their schools.” In addition, Skeans initiated the “vaccinate before you graduate” program, which started 15 years ago, long before it became a state program. However, as Wabash City Fire Department Chief Dean Weaver stated, “Vaccinations are just one part of the story.” Chief Weaver and his entire department wrote in their nomination letter, “Jane has spent many hours preparing response plans in the event of any pandemic outbreaks and other medical disasters. She has traveled many miles and invested countless hours in local training efforts, in the hope of keeping Wabash County residents as healthy and safe as possible. Consider all the behind-the-scenes efforts that only a privileged few of us have witnessed, and it is clear to see that Jane Skeans is the perfect candidate to receive the Healthcare Hero Award.” Dr. Jeff Pyle, Wabash County Board of Health president, wrote in his letter of nomination, “Jane has been considered a leader in her field by many at the regional and state levels of Board of Health and has been called upon to teach many other county health departments in the areas of health preparedness and provision.” Perhaps Dr. Dean Gifford sums it up best when he wrote, “Jane has been the ‘Ato-Z’ of public health in Wabash County for the past 25 years, serving several Boards of Health, and teaching the ins and outs of the Wabash County Health officers. Jane has been a zealous advocate for the advancement of public health in Wabash County and Indiana.” For her outstanding dedication that led her to go above and beyond the call of duty to serve the people of Wabash County, the Wabash County Hospital Foundation is pleased to present Jane Skeans with the 2011 Healthcare Hero award.

Farmers help neighbors through Harvest for Hunger The Harvest for Hunger campaign is underway in Miami County. The North Miami FFA Chapter is again soliciting gifts of grain or cash from area farmers to support the Helping Hands Food Bank. This is the fifth year that the FFA chapter has participated in this program, having raised about $32,000 over the past four years. Mr. Phil Tomsom, a past member of the Helping Hands board of directors, works with the FFA chapter on this project; he will pick up grain at the farm or the field if requested. Farmers may also donate by selling a portion of the crop they have delivered to local elevators in the name of Harvest for Hunger or by making a cash donation. Tomson says “the need is greater this year than ever before. The economy has led many

(photo provided) families that have not previously needed assistance to our facility.” The campaign was kicked off a couple of weeks ago with a mailing of letters to farmers, primarily in the northern half of the county. Glen Jones, FFA advisor, reports, “We have already received many positive responses to this mailing. With

the harvest season proceeding rapidly this fall and excellent prices we have already received over $4,000.“ The FFA chapter not only supports this program by the collection of funds but also donates a portion of their own crop production to Harvest for Hunger. Anyone interested in participating in this program can

contact Jones at 765985-2931 or contact Phil Tomson or any North Miami FFA member. These donors have already made a pledge to support the Harvest for Hunger program in 2011: Eckrote Farms Inc.; Kameron and Hayley Donaldson; Carolyn Wilson; Chris Leedy; David L. Payne; Mike, Susan and

Roann Covered Bridge Festival receives award at Indiana State Festival Convention The Roann Covered Bridge Festival was awarded $371 of the $500 Ann Retseck Memorial Grant at the Indiana State Festival Convention, which was held in Indianapolis Nov. 4-6. Peru Circus City Festival won the remaining portion of the award. Applicants for the grant were asked to write an essay stating why they thought their festival deserved the award. The Roann Covered Bridge Festival was chosen to receive the award as a result of the following write up: “We feel the Roann Covered Bridge deserves the award because: We have so many people in our commuStephanie Morris; Hudson Farms Inc.; Mark Lowe; Mark and Diane Wildermuth; Jon and Cathy Reese; Bill Butt; Bill Friend; Curtis Mills; George and Patty Smith;

It was so sad to see our bridge hanging there with only the skeleton shell. But the community worked together to help with fundraisers, donated items for an auction to raise money, and applied for grants to restore the bridge. It was quite amazing to watch our covered bridge being rebuilt! And because it was, we still have the Roann Covered Bridge Festival!

We all love to bring people to our town where our festival motto is: “You’re Only a Stranger once.” The Indiana State Festival Convention was attended by Beckie Elliot, Carol Long and Donna Harman. “We are excited about the possibilities for next year’s Roann festival entertainment after attending the convention,” Harman concluded.

Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region’s Wabash campus recently completed a successful campaign for United Fund of Wabash County. Funds raised this year totaled $3,083. That’s compared to $2,340 from last year. “Students, staff and faculty all joined in to make this campaign

the most successful United Fund campaign to date,” said Jerry Perkins, an assistant professor and United Fund campaign committee member. In an effort to encourage student participation, faculty and staff participated in a contest to receive a pie in the face for the most money

The Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition is cooperating with the American Cancer Society to mark the 36th Great American Smokeout on Nov. 17 by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit. By doing so, smokers will be taking an

New Youth & Women's Division leader

important step towards a healthier life - one that can lead to reducing cancer risk. To help tobacco users quit, the Coalition, YMCA, Manchester College, Wabash Subway and Zooks Café in North Manchester have joined efforts to help anyone that is ready to quit using tobacco. Bring your unused tobacco to the front desk of the YMCA or the Manchester College Health Service office in the Calvin Ulrey building. On Great American Smoke-out day, you can also go to the Student Union at Manchester

College during the lunch hour. When you leave your tobacco, you will receive a Subway cold turkey sandwich coupon, day pass to the YMCA, and an opportunity to sign-up for free cessation classes. After the cessation class is completed, you will receive a 30-day pass to the YMCA. The class at the YMCA will begin Nov. 22 at 6 p.m. The class at Manchester College will meet in Plowshares Conference Room, beginning Nov. 21 at 5:15 p.m. Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of dis-

ease and premature death in the U.S., yet more than 46 million Americans still smoke. However, more than half of these smokers have attempted to quit for at least one day in the past year. Quitting is hard, but you can increase your chances of success with help. The Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition can give you the steps you can take to quit smoking and provide the resources and support that can increase your chances of quitting successfully. To learn about the available tools, call 260-2742920.

Now, let me guess: there were probably more images of a gloomy, menacing man with a stern face than of a grinning, laughing, cheerful person enjoying life, right? My mind immediately goes to the picture that hung in our familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living room when I was a kid of a very serious Jesus who looked like his face

would crack if he smiled. Two questions this week: Why? and What if ? Why are the most common images of Jesus (the very one who set the example for us in living a joy-filled life) so intimidating? And what if we were to change the image in our mind to a picture of Christ laughing? The Bible teaches us that Jesus experienced life while on this earth - the good and the bad, sorrow and laughter, loneliness and friendship. When your friends picture your face what do you want them to see? Do you think Jesus feels the same about our image of him?

Parents of children with special needs encouraged to attend Dec. 6 event by Danielle Smith DSmith @thepaperofwabash.com

On Dec. 6, local support agencies for special needs individuals

and Gordon Homes, a financial planner who specializes in dependents with special needs, will gather at Wabash Middle

School, 150 Colerain St., Wabash, to provide resources and insight for parents of children with special needs.

This event is geared toward parents of children that will soon be transitioning to adult programs, but Joyce Lee, WabashMiami Area Program director, stresses that parents cannot begin planning too early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even parents of elementary age students with disabilities should attends,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start early enough.â&#x20AC;? At 6 p.m., parents will have opportunities to speak with five support agencies, V o c a t i o n a l Rehabilitation, Bureau of Developmental Disabilities, Carey Services, Arc of Wabash County and Pathfinders. Vo c a t i o n a l Rehabilitation performs services such as evaluations and they provide assistance for young adults to pursue education, job training or job coaching. The Bureau of Developmental Disabilities is similar, but geared toward more severely disabled individuals. Carey Services, Arc and Pathfinders are

all programs that help disabled individuals remain productive through workshops, volunteer work and other day programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the kids leave high school they need to do something productive in their day and parents are typically working,â&#x20AC;? Lee explained. During the time from 6 to 6:30 p.m., parents will have the opportunity to speak with these agencies, collect information and meet people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that we can reach people to come and get this information because typically they would have to go from here to there to get information and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing it all together in one night,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. Also during that half-hour, parents will have the opportunity to purchase gifts created by the We Can class at Heartland Career Center. This is a workshop-style class for disabled students in which they create gifts throughout the year. Near Christmas time, their products

are taken into our local elementary schools, and the students there are given a chance to purchase Christmas gifts. Revenue from the sales is used to sustain the We Can program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re featuring that here because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a lot of parents of kid with disabilities, some of whom have participated in this program and have made the products that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be displaying and selling,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many things that these kids can do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the products they can make â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is unbelievable. They really have a lot of skills.â&#x20AC;? At 6:30 p.m., parents will move to the library to listen to the guest speaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gorodn Homes is a financial planner out of Indianapolis who does this all over the state,â&#x20AC;? Lee explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a particular interest in financial planning for parents of children with disabilities because he has a child with a disability himself, so he

has walked himself through the process.â&#x20AC;? Homes will address issues such as government benefit eligibility, guardianship and conservatorship/guar dian ad litem and financial security and funding options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents with kids with disabilities have to work through agencies to get support, and he knows the inroads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who you meet with and when you meet with them,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. This program was presented two years ago with a positive turnout and results. The presentation will last approximately 45 minutes with time for questions at the end. Parents are encouraged to attend this educational event at Wabash Middle School on Dec. 6, beginning at 6 p.m. with the guest speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome and childcare will be provided. Refreshments will be provided by the culinary arts class of Heartland Career Center.

Urbana Lions Club fundraiser rescheduled for Nov. 18 The Nov. 5 Lions Club Fish Fry was a disaster. The dictionary says that a disaster is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sudden misfortuneâ&#x20AC;?, and that is what happened about 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 5, when the new Ansul fire extinguisher system that had been installed over the three deep

fat fryers in March activated. The fryers had been turned on and were coming up to frying temperature, the fish were ready to be breaded, when the new, never used, recently inspected extinguisher system went off and covered the entire kitchen and

all of the fish with chemicals. The good thing is that everyone got out of the building and no one was injured. It was also fortunate that some members of the church group who were helping were volunteer firemen and knew what to do. The Urbana

Fire Department brought in large fans to help clear the area of fumes. The bad thing is that all of the food that was out - 400 pounds of fish - was contaminated and there was absolutely no way meals could be served. It was also impossible at that

Miami County Museum to host Native American Heritage Month activity Miami County is the headquarters of the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana and is the home to more than 600 tribal citizens. In celebration of this local culture, the Miami Nation of Indiana and the Miami County Museum

invite you to take part in a Native American Heritage month activity. The program on Nov. 18 from 6 to 7 p.m. will include learning about and making Miami Corn Husk Dolls. The event will begin with the Miami

Story of The Corn Husk Doll and follow with a demonstration of how to make a Miami Corn Husk Doll. Miami County Museum staff and volunteers will be available to assist participants in creating their very own doll to

take home. Reservations are required for the program. Please call the Miami County Museum at 765-4739183 or email admin@mcmuseum.o rg to RSVP by 5 p.m. on Nov. 17. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

late time to let everyone who had purchased tickets or were planning to come, know what had happened except through phone calls and word of mouth. The installers of the system were immediately called. A technician came on Nov. 7 and on Nov. 9 the branch manager and two technicians came and met with Lions members to determine what went wrong and assess the damage to the fans, the fryers, the kitchen, the loss of food, and to advise the Club on how to have everything professionally cleaned. In order to use the side items food that were stored in the Lions Club Snack Shack and were not contaminated, a pulled pork barbeque (from Pooleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meat Market) will be held on

Compliance with Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation provisions required for USDA payments

Julia A. Wickard, state executive director of USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Indiana reminds landowners and operators that in order to receive payments from USDA, compliance with Highly Erodible Land (HEL) and W e t l a n d Conservation (WC) provisions is required. Farmers with HEL determined soils are reminded of tillage, crop residue and rotations requirements as specified in their conservation plan. Producers should also notify FSA prior to conducting land clearing or drainage projects to insure compliance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are planning on installing new tile or grading wet spots in a field, contact your local FSA County office before starting any work,â&#x20AC;? said Wickard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, if you intend to clear any trees to create new cropland, these areas will need to be reviewed to ensure any work will not jeopardize your eligibility for bene-

fits.â&#x20AC;? Landowners and operators can complete form AD-1026 highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation (WC) Certification to determine whether a referral to Natural R e s o u r c e s

Conservation Service (NRCS) is necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something as simple as clearing a fence row or converting a pasture into cropland could result in losing USDA benefits,â&#x20AC;? explained Wickard.

Indiana celebrates three-year improvement in preterm birth rate March of Dimes recently announced a three-year improvement in Indiana’s grade on the annual premature birth report card to a “C” grade for 2011, which is up from a “D” in 2010 and 2009, and an “F” in 2008. “This is good progress,” says March of Dimes Indiana State Director Tanya Hand. “It shows that March of Dimes public health campaigns, programs funded at our partners like Marion County Public Health Department, and volunteer outreach is working. “Smoking is linked to both premature birth and low birth

weight in babies. Scheduling non-medically necessary inductions and Csections also puts a baby’s life and health at risk. “We are working to help babies by funding smoking cessation programs for women, implementing public health education campaigns encouraging every woman to give her baby 39 weeks and working with health care professionals to help families have healthy babies. Together we are making strides in the fight for stronger, healthier babies.” Since 2006, Indiana’s preterm birth rate has dropped to 11.9 per-

cent from its high of 13.2 percent. Also dropping was the rate of women smoking to 23.3 percent from 26.6 percent last year. The only backward motion was in the number of women uninsured in Indiana, up from 2010 to 19.3 percent in 2011. “Our state’s preterm birth rate has improved this year. We’re proud of this achievement and what we accomplished by working together with our partners for stronger, healthier babies,” says Minjoo Morlan, state director of program services and public affairs for March of Dimes. “We are determined to con-

tinue to find and implement solutions to improve the health of babies, such as improving access to health care coverage, helping women quit smoking, and preventing unnecessary early csections and inductions, so more babies can get a healthy start in life.” The United States received a “C” on the March of Dimes Report Card. Grades are based on comparing the state’s and the nation’s 2009 preliminary preterm birth rates with the new March of Dimes 2020 goal of 9.6 percent of all live births. The U.S. preterm birth rate is 12.2 percent down nearly 5 percent

from the peak of 12.8 percent in 2006. The Report Card information for the U.S. and states is available online at: marchofdimes.com/ prematurity. Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks completed gestation, is a serious health problem that costs the United States more than $26 billion annually, according to the Institute of Medicine. It is the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and others. Even

babies born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and illness than full-term infants. At least 39 weeks of pregnancy are critical to a baby’s health because many important organs, including the brain and lungs, are not completely developed until then. The March of Dimes says its 2020 preterm birth goal can be achieved by a combination of activities: giving all women of childbearing age access to health care coverage, fully implementing proven interventions to reduce the risk of an early birth, such as not smoking dur-

ing pregnancy, getting preconception and early prenatal care, progesterone treatments for women who are medically eligible, avoiding multiples from fertility treatments, avoiding medically unnecessary c-sections and inductions before 39 weeks of pregnancy, and by funding new research on prevention of preterm birth. Nov. 17 is World P r e m a t u r i t y Awareness Day with activities planned across Indiana, the nation and the world. For more information go to marchofdimes.com.

Hospice care helps patients and families focus on living life to its fullest. This is the message that SouthernCare Hospice is sharing with the community during National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. “November is a valuable time to raise awareness throughout our community about care at the end of life,” said Diane Northern, community relations specialists. “Buy the time a family might need us doesn’t follow a calendar or occur only during the season, so our message must make an impression that

stays with people all year long.” Coping with a serious or life-limiting illness is not easy. In fact, it might be the hardest work you’ll ever do. Working with doctors and hospitals, navigating the maze of care needs, figuring out insurance coverage, all in addition to taking care of your family can be overwhelming. SouthernCare wants the community to know that there is help. Hospice and palliative care providers take the time to talk with you and help you understand your illness and what care options might be available. They make your wishes a priority and make sure you get the care you want and deserve. “We’re working hard all year round

to make sure people know that support, comfort and respect are available at a time when hope seems out of reach,” Northern said. “Yet during November, we ramp up our efforts to raise awareness of the high-quality care that’s available during one of life’s most challenging times.” Hospice care provides expert pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support and spiritual care to patients and families when a cure is not possible. All the necessary medicines and equipment needed to keep a patient comfortable are brought right to the home, which is where most Americans would like to be if at all possible. Hospice makes this happen.

“It’s about quality of life. With the help of hospice, patients and families can focus on living as fully as possible in spite of illness,” Northern said. “There’s an inaccurate perception among the American public that hospice means you’ve given up,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “Those of us who have worked in the field have seen firsthand how hospice and palliative care can improve the quality of life. And there’s a growing body of research showing that hospice and palliative care may prolong the lives of some people who receive care.” SouthernCare has

been providing hospice services to the Wabash community and surrounding areas since 2000. Souther nCare’s c o m m i t m e n t extends beyond their patients – it includes the families, physicians and caregivers of their patients. They recognize that these individuals face many challenges and stresses. Their goal is to be the soothing light that helps ease these struggles and assists in making the end-of-life experience as positive as it can be. SouthernCare is also a proud member of the We Honor Veterans initiative. Visit their website at www.southerncarehospice.co m or call the SouthernCare office at 1-888-5251289.

Purdue economist: Crop input prices to surge in 2012

Growing an acre of corn, soybeans or wheat in 2012 will cost producers a lot more than it did this year, says a Purdue Extension agricultural economist. Farmland rental costs and volatile fertilizer prices are the two primary drivers of increasing costs, and, according to Alan Miller, seed prices also will be up 5 percent to 10 percent in the coming year. Pesticide prices will vary by product. “Preliminary budgets show variable costs for rotation corn increasing by 16 percent, soybeans by 15 percent and wheat by 12 percent as compared with our January 2011 budgets,” Miller said. Estimates show that despite a recent decline in corn and soybean prices, the income potential from continuous corn on average-yield ground is higher relative to rotation soybeans than in most years. Miller said the income potential may be even better for con-

tinuous corn on Indiana’s best farm ground. “The markets are still signaling that they want more corn in 2012, so the question is whether farmers will listen,” he said. “There probably will be more corn next year.” Even with input costs up in 2012, Miller said farmers can begin to manage their profit margins now, such as by pricing fertilizer for 2012. Fertilizer prices are lower this fall than they are expected to be next spring. Another area Miller said growers should be looking at is cash rents. “It’s hard to figure out a fair amount of cash rent, especially in an environment with so much potential for quick commodity price declines and input price surges,” he said. “We don’t want to see another 2009 where grain prices dropped, costs increased and profitability disappeared. It’s a challenging risk

management environment for the farmers.” He urged farmers to be cautious and to try to hold down costs by thinking through all of their purchases. “Commodity producers need to still be working on being low-cost producers on a cost-per-bushelproduced basis,” Miller said. “Growers need to manage the expected margin between the selling price of the corn and their costs. Try to market to lock in commodity prices and to lock in prices on purchased inputs. Lock in profit margins and don’t give up marketing strategies.” While many farmers may be tempted to take a wait-andsee attitude toward marketing the 2011 crop, Miller said that might not be the best idea. Instead, he said this is a good time to apply marketing skills to the management of input pricing. If crop prices recover, demand for

inputs and input prices are likely to increase. For cash rents, he said flexible lease agreements could help both growers and landowners in a volatile period. “Try to help landowners understand the market and the volatility,” Miller said. “Possibly look at flexible lease agreements instead of locking in cash rents in case inputs increase and commodity prices stay where they are at now or fall even further.” The bottom line, he said, is that producer vulnerability is a concern heading into 2012. Growers need to be proactive in managing their input pricing because input prices could rise even more if crop price prospects improve in the spring. For more information about 2012 input costs, check out Miller and Bruce Erickson’s article “Crop Input Prices Surge” in the

Fritz family welcomes son

Sandy Fiedeke is passionate about two things: her family and travel. In 2004, prior to leaving for a vacation, Sandy felt a lump in her breast. “Finding a lump takes your breath away… like a punch to the gut,” she said. Sandy punched back, contacting Dr. KT Kishan to immediately remove the lump. She completed chemotherapy and radiation treatment at the KCH Cancer Care Center. Sandy consistently monitored her health. In 2009, Sandy began to experience unusual back pain. Tests confirmed that cancer had returned. Sandy is aggressively in treatment today.

Sandy Trina and Cortney Fritz of Lafayette are the parents of a son born Oct. 9, 7:21 a.m., in Lafayette. Evan Christopher Fritz weighed 6 pounds, 10 ounces, and was 20 1/4 inches long. He joins a half brother, Kaleb Fritz. His mother is the former Trina Hoagland. Grandparents are Bernard Hoagland of Wabash, Bonnie Hoagland of West Lafayette and Jean and Devon Fritz of Fowler.

Sandy said, “You think going for cancer treatment will be a bummer. For me, it’s not as my family goes with me. People told me that I need to go to a bigger city for cancer treatment, but why? Dr. Goksel pays attention to me as an individual and connects with other cancer experts across the country. Dr. Goksel says my grandson is my best medicine. It’s true. Jenson will be walking soon. And I’ll be chasing after him!”

Manchester’s $100 million campaign says it all in the name: Students First!

Manchester College is charting a $100 million fundraising path lined with new learning facilities, scholarships, new student and faculty support systems. Increases to the endowment and annual fund will nurture the journey. While $100 million is a breathtaking goal for the Students First! campaign, President Jo Young Switzer and the board of trustees are confident. The College has generous support and the right team to transform Manchester students’ horizons with modern opportunities and structures, she said. At a recent Students First! celebration, donors cheered student and alumni testimonials of their Manchester-

inspired successes and experiences – and President Switzer’s announcement that the College has secured commitments and cash exceeding $73 million. “Students first. That’s the way learning happens here,” said President Switzer. “It’s our way of teaching. It’s second nature for us to listen and respond to our students, to help them develop into persons of ability and conviction. To prepare them to make a positive impact on the world. Putting students first is what we do. It is who we are.” The College has remarkable momentum with leadership million-dollar giving from major donors and foundations. For

JUST ONE “SMART” REASON TO CALL NOW: 10-year Warranties available on new systems. Neat, hassle free, top quality installations for comfort and peace of mind.

the remainder of the journey, Students First! will draw from the enthusiasm of the typical Manchester donor of more modest means. Manchester’s alumni and friends have a tradition of sharing the load and “paying it forward.” They give in memory of their College experiences, teachers and mentors and in support of the College mission to graduate persons who accept their responsibility to help improve the human condition. A nine-year fund drive concluded in 2005 with $70 million, $20 million over goal. “At Manchester College, we know what’s important and why we’re here,” said President Switzer, a 1969 graduate of the 1,320-student College that also is building a School of Pharmacy in Fort Wayne. “The name of this campaign says it all. Students come first –

always,” she said. “That’s why everything about our transformative campaign supports Manchester students for the 21st century and beyond: more scholarships, stronger teaching, inviting learning facilities, efficient support services and a rock-solid financial footing for building a rock-solid future.” Charting the course are leadership alumni donors Dave and Sandy Haist of Grabill, who co-chair the Students First! campaign, and Michael Eastman, vice president for College advancement. To learn more about the entire campaign, and watch student testimonials, visit www.manchester.edu. The eight-year campaign, which includes bequests and other deferred gifts, has nine focal funds.

Aspergillus ear rot infections in corn, which produces aflatoxin - a carcinogen and liver toxin that affects livestock. Luckily, it doesn’t look like most farmers will have to worry too much about it. “People might have yield problems with late planting and drought stress, but it doesn’t appear that ear rot will be a widespread problem this year,” he said. Aspergillus ear rot is common in plants with drought stress because it thrives in weak plants. Since many other diseases need cool weather to survive, Aspergillus has little competition.

The College will construct a new administrative center that is efficient, accessible and conserves vital operating resources. School of Pharmacy, $36 million. While Fort Wayne construction (well under way) and other start-up costs of the School are supported by a $35 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., the College seeks resources to enrich service learning, curriculum and outreach that will benefit the entire community. - The Manchester Fund, $20 million. From building and grounds maintenance to library and laboratory materials, utilities and equipment, this annual fund pays many of the bills. Additions to

Physical Education and Recreation Center, $1.5 million. Completed in 2010, this added two hightech classrooms and new locker rooms and athletic training areas to support growing enrollment in athletic training at the baccalaureate and master’s level. - General endowment, $3.5 million. Manchester’s portfolio of invested assets currently is about $36 million, far below that of other independent colleges, said Eastman. - Chime Tower, $1 million. The 10-bell historical College Chime, currently at the core of the Administration Building, is a Manchester icon, calling students to classes since 1922. The College will erect a freestanding Chime Tower in the heart of campus.

The fungus tends to live in hot weather and is relatively common - especially in southern Indiana and in the sandy, droughtprone soils of northern Indiana. So far this year, however, Woloshuk said he’s received no reports of widespread disease. Farmers who are concerned about grain quality should be sure to store corn properly and to make sure grain is dry in storage. They also can have grain samples analyzed through Purdue’s Animal Disease Diagnostic L a b o r a t o r y, http://www.addl.purdue.edu/, or 765-4947440.

this harvest. One common concern is Gibberella rot, which is associated with another toxin, called vomitoxin or DON. Gibberella, however, thrives in cool weather during silking and pollination - something Indiana farmers didn’t experience this year. “Since the corn’s growth stages were behind and we had a dry summer, Gibberella isn’t a problem,” Woloshuk said. The one corn disease that producers and horse owners may want to keep an eye on is Fusarium ear rot. This particular ear rot has been associated with neural tube defects in humans and illnesses or death in horses.

Manchester Community Schools placed on AP District Honor Roll The Manchester Community Schools is one of fewer than 400 public school districts in the nation being honored by the College Board with a place on the 2nd Annual AP Honor Roll for simultaneously increasing access to advanced placement coursework while maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of three or higher on AP exams. Achieving both of these goals is the ideal scenario for a district’s Advanced Placement program, because it indicates that the district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit most from AP coursework. Since 2009, the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools increased the num-

ber of students participating in AP from 35 to 63, while improving the percentage of students earning AP exam scores of three or higher from 20 percent in 2009 to 30 percent in 2011. The majority of U.S. colleges and universities grant college credit or advanced placement for a score of three or above on AP exams. “Over the last five years, Manchester Community Schools has worked hard to grow our Advanced Placement program in the number of courses we offer and in the number of students taking courses and exams as well as improving scores,” said Dr. Bill Reichhart, MCS superintendent. The 2nd Annual AP Honor Roll is made up of only those public and

parochial school districts that are simultaneously expanding opportunity and improving or maintaining performance at a very high level of success. The list includes 367 school districts across 43 states and Canada. Pennsylvania led all states with 34 public school districts named to the 2nd Annual AP Honor Roll, followed by Massachusetts and New York, both with 30. “Participation in college-level AP courses can level the playing field for underserved students, give them the confidence needed to succeed in college, and raise standards and performance in key subjects like science and math,” said College Board President Gaston Caperton. “The AP Honor Roll districts

are defying expectations by expanding access while enabling their students to maintain or improve their AP exam scores.” Many U.S. school districts have focused on expanding access to AP courses as part of a strategy to improve college readiness. While these efforts have resulted in more students earning scores of three or better, these efforts also have resulted in more students earning scores of one or two. Accordingly, there has been a slight decline since 2001 in the percentage of AP students scoring a three or better, a decline that can be expected in any program attracting a broader crosssection of students. Helping more students learn at a higher level and earn

higher AP scores is an objective of all members of the AP community, from AP teachers to district and school administrators to college professors. Many are experimenting with a variety of initiatives and strategies to determine how to expand access and improve student performance simultaneously. “This school district has achieved something very remarkable. It managed to open the doors of its AP classrooms to many more students, while also increasing the percentage of students earning high enough AP exam grades to stand out in the competitive college admission process and qualify for college credit and placement,” said Trevor Packer, the College Board’s senior vice

president of Advanced Placement and college readiness. Inclusion on the 2nd Annual AP District Honor Roll is based on the following criteria: - Examination of three years of AP data, from 2009 to 2011; - Increase in participation in/access to AP by at least four percent in large districts, at least six percent in medium districts and at least 11 percent in small districts; - A steady or increasing percentage of exams taken by African A m e r i c a n , Hispanic/Latino and A m e r i c a n Indian/Alaska Native students; and - Performance levels maintained or improved when comparing the percentage of students in

2011 scoring a three or higher to those in 2009, or the school has already attained a performance level in which more than 70 percent of the AP students are scoring a 3 or higher. School districts in which low-income and/or underrepresented minority students (African A m e r i c a n , Hispanic/Latino, A m e r i c a n Indian/Alaska Native) comprise 30 percent or more of the AP student population have been highlighted on the Achievement List to recognize significant improvements in equity and quality among the nation’s historically underserved student populations. The complete 2nd Annual AP District Honor Roll can be found at www.collegeboard.org.

Last steel in place, Manchester College on track for June opening of Academic Center

WITH A BRIEF CEREMONY, contractors bolted the final steel beam in place for Manchester College’s new Academic Center. The $9.1 million transformation of Holl-Kintner Hall of Science into a learning space and admissions Welcome Center is on-schedule for completion within one year, say contractors and College officials.

On Oct. 14, with a brief ceremony, contractors bolted the final steel beam in place for Manchester College’s new Academic Center. The $9.1 million transfor-

mation of HollKintner Hall of Science into a learning space and admissions Welcome Center is on schedule for completion within one year, say contrac-

tors and College officials. A hard-hat “inside” tour of the 52,000 square-foot construction site reveals exciting testimony that Manchester students and faculty will have a new Academic Center early next summer. “We are on-target for a June 4 possession of the Academic Center from the contractors,” says Jack Gochenaur, vice president for finance and treasurer. The concrete elevator shaft on the north end of the construction site makes an important declaration about the new Academic Center: Accessibility. All steel is up, the rooms are framed in, bricking is well under-way, utilities are installed and windows are expected this week. Drywalling and painting is scheduled for December and January. The site will house a number of academic disciplines, including accounting and business, communication studies, economics, education, English, finance, his-

tory and political science, management, marketing, modern languages, peace studies, psychology, religion and philosophy, sociology and social work. Accompanying 16 classrooms are faculty offices, study lounges, a small lecture auditorium, a peace studies library, conference rooms and areas for language study, psychology research, video editing and accounting multimedia. The Welcome Center at the south end of the structure will house private areas for families to

meet with admissions counselors, a hospitality area with a café and staff offices and work areas. General contractor is Michael Kinder & Sons Inc. of Fort Wayne, working from designs by MSKTD & Associates Inc. Fundraising continues for the $9.1 million creation of a state-of-the-art home for disciplines currently scattered in buildings both aged and much newer throughout campus. Donors still can find naming and other giving opportunities to support Manchester’s academic strength.

Large deer harvest forecast for 2011 season

Firearms season for white-tailed deer in Indiana opens Nov. 12, and a DNR wildlife expert predicts another year of near-record harvest numbers. Hunters are coming off a third straight record harvest, having tagged 134,004 deer in 2010. DNR Deer Biologist Chad Stewart said conditions for the 2011 season are shaping up similarly to the 2010 season. “I’d hate to predict a record, but we should be close to it” Stewart said. “It’s almost guaranteed to

be a top-three harvest.” Firearms season generally accounts for about 65 percent of the overall deer harvest. Legal firearms for firearms season are shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns and center-fire rifles of specific cartridge dimensions. The 16-day firearms season ends Nov. 27. Hunters on opening weekend of firearms season last year harvested 37,525 deer. Steuben County led the state in overall number of deer harvested last year with

3,948. The harvest exceeded 1,000 deer in 64 counties; exceeded 2,000 deer in 17 counties; and exceeded 3,000 deer in five counties. Counties with high harvests tend to have a good mix of woods and farm ground. “For a deer hunter, Indiana is great because it can sustain a very high population and a very healthy population,” Stewart said. The number of antlered deer harvested in 2010 was 53,007, or about 40 percent of the overall harvest.

Approximately 60 biologists will be at check stations across the state on opening day of firearms season to collect biological information and sample deer for the presence of chronic wasting disease. Muzzleloader season starts Dec. 3 and lasts through Dec. 18. Early archery season, which is already underway, lasts through Nov. 27. Late archery season opens Dec. 3 and lasts through Jan. 1, 2012. Unless otherwise exempted, a license is required to hunt deer

Hunters asked to complete online state forest survey

Hunters can help monitor the abundance and distribution of deer and other wildlife species in State Forests by completing an online survey after each hunting trip to a State Forest this year. “Hunters are uniquely skilled observers in the out-

doors and are in a position to provide feedback that can help us better manage the resources of our State Forests,” said John Seifert, director of the DNR Division of Forestry. Hunters are asked to go to dnr.IN.gov/forestry/7 245.htm every time

they return from a hunting trip. Multiple hunting trips made on the same day would ideally warrant separate visits to the website to complete a survey. State Forests in Indiana are listed at dnr.IN.gov/forestry/3 631.htm. This anonymous survey will be avail-

able all year online and is open to all hunters who hunt in the State Forests. Completion will take a hunter a few minutes. More instructions are listed at the website.

during the firearms season. The DNR is encouraging hunters to buy their licenses early and avoid waiting until the last minute. The DNR Customer Service Center and the DNR Deer Hotline will not

be open on Nov. 11 in observance of Veterans Day. Licenses can be purchased online at www.IndianaOutdoor. IN.gov, or by calling the DNR Customer Service Center at 317232-4200, or at a retail-

er or DNR site listed a t www.IndianaOutdoor. IN.gov. The Deer Hunting Guide is available online at http://www.in.gov/dn r/fishwild/6032.htm.

Fagin shares “Statement of Autonomy” passed by General Assembly

2000 Ford E x p

Dear editor, After attempting to write a letter describing the goals of Occupy Wall Street as I understand them to be, I discovered their “Statement of Autonomy as Passed by the General Assembly” on their website. There are no demands. It is simply and brilliantly the development of a process that results in being what is wanted — a true democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people. It speaks for itself: “Occupy Wall Street is a people’s movement. It is partyless, leaderless, by the people and for the people. It is not a busi-

ness, a political party, an advertising campaign or a brand. It is not for sale. “We welcome all who, in good faith, petition for a redress of grievances through non-violence. We provide a forum for peaceful assembly of individuals to engage in participatory as opposed to partisan debate and democracy. We welcome dissent. “Any statement or declaration not released through the General Assembly and made public online at w w w. n y c g a . n e t should be considered independent of Occupy Wall Street.

“We wish to clarify that Occupy Wall Street is not and never has been affiliated with any established political party, candidate or organization. Our only affiliation is with the people. “The people who are working together to create this movement are its sole and mutual caretakers. If you have chosen to devote resources to building this movement, especially your time and labor, then it is yours. Any organization is welcome to support us with the knowledge that doing so will mean questioning your own institution-

al frameworks of work and hierarchy and integrating our principles into your modes of action. “Speak with us, not fur us. “Occupy Wall Street values collective resources, dignity, integrity and autonomy above money. We have not made endorsements. All donations are accepted anonymously and are transparently allocated via consensus by the General Assembly or the Operational Spokes Council. “We acknowledge the existence of professional activists who work to make our world a better place. If

you are representing, or being compensated by an independent source while participating in our process, please disclose your affiliation at the outset. Those seeking to capitalize on the movement or undermine it by appropriating its message or symbols are not a part of Occupy Wall Street. “We stand in solidarity. We are Occupy Wall Street.” Perhaps these ideas should be given serious consideration rather than perfunctorily disparaged and condemned. Susan Fagin North Manchester

Kim Shepherd, Gary Willcox, Lois Landrum, Michelle Bowman and Connie Cook. Thanks again to everyone that made it a successful fun day. IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR for us to start getting our Christmas decorations out and up. Last year, we had a total of 37 (large and small) Christmas trees in our home. Last week, Larry brought up the cargo trailer of Christmas decorations. While the weather was nice, we put up the outside lights and most of the outside decorations. We still have seven more decorations to be put up outside. Larry had to restring one reindeer and he is still working on one other one. We bought these two on our U.S. 40 rummage sale trip with my sister and husband last May. I got a good deal on them, now I know why I did, only half of the

lights worked on both of the reindeer. I have three big trees up and decorated in the house. I have one more up, but no lights or decorations on it. Larry has named our home the LaFontaine Christmas House. We would like for people to see our outside and inside decorations, so we are planning an open house on Dec. 4 from 6 to 7 p.m. U N I T E D M E T H O D I S T CHURCH Food Pantry is open MondayThursday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You must live in Liberty Township to receive items from the food pantry.

This year’s theme of “Music Colors Our World” found October the color of purple and “mood swings” as the sentiment.

Ellen told of the color purple as being an old English word going back to AD 975 with it being a color of royalty and was only affordable to the elite. “Mood Swings” was appropriate for starting our Musicale year; with harvest starting, vibrant colors abounding and much to be thankful for.

Playing “Deep Purple” was a piano quartet of Marilyn Ford, Kathie Grandstaff, Minda Lehman and Norma Trump. This song was written in 1934 by Peter DeRose. “When You’re Smiling”, by Mark Fisher, Joe Goodwin and Larry Shay and arranged by Jay Althouse, was sung by the trio of Kae, Margie and Dorothy and accompanied by Carolyn. Playing “As Long As He Needs Me”, by Lionel Bart, was a quartet of Marilyn, Minda and Norma on piano and Kathie on organ. This song was from the musical, Oliver. Featuring Norma on the accordion, Kathie on organ, and Minda and Marilyn on piano, the quartet played “I’d

Like to Teach the World to Sing”, by Davis, Cook, Greenway. This song was originally inspired by “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke”, written by Davis as he was waiting in an airport in Ireland seeing stranded passengers drink Coke. Concluding the program was a trio singing “Purple People Eater”, by Sheb Wooley. Singers were Margie and Dorothy, and dressed in purple costume and singing and dancing was Kae.

North Manchester Author Karla Akins writes “O Canada! Her Story”

Karla Akins didn’t know much about Canada before Oregon-based curriculum publisher, Bramley Books, asked her to write a book about it. And she discovered she’s not alone. Canada and the United States share the world’s longest undefended border and yet, Americans know very little about their neighbor. It is the second largest

nation on earth, yet one of the most overlooked in world history textbooks. O Canada! Her Story was written for middle grades, but adults enjoy its grand tour through the ages as well. Adult Canadians who have read this collection of historical narratives and biographies say they have learned things about their history they didn’t know before.

According to the publisher, Akins explores events in Canadian history in a creative and lively way that draws the reader in and grabs one’s attention from the start. One reviewer on the publisher’s website states, “Akins is a courageous writer to have taken unique approaches to each story [that are]... new and refreshing.” The 320 page book’s chapters include:

THE WABASH UNIT of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will host “Christmas at the Honeywell House” on Nov. 20, 1-3 p.m. The House will be open for touring. Musical entertainment will be provided throughout the visit. The public is invited and the event is free. Pictured are Matt and Pam Haynes and their sons, Lex, Quinn, Marcus and Ethan.

ed to honor her support of me by dedicating the book to her. And for all the oatmeal raisin cookies she slipped inside the door,” she said. Akins’ current projects include an interactive e-book on explorers, refining a completed contemporary novel, and finishing two others. “I’m always writing,” she says. “It might look like I’m doing something else, but the entire time I’m doing it, I’m writing in my head and can hardly wait to get back to the keyboard.” Karla has five children and five grandchildren.

Baritone David Moan to perform at Honeywell House

The Honeywell House in Wabash will host a performance by Baritone David Moan on Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. This event is sponsored by Hawkins Family Farm. Moan is a graduate of Manchester College with a degree in vocal performance. He has performed most notably as the baritone soloist in “Carmina Burana” and “A Little Nightmare Music” with the Manchester Symphony Orchestra and “The Messiah” with the Huntington

Jada: The Girl of Haida Gwaii; Bjorn the Lundehund (Vikings); The Old Violin (Acadians); Lucy Maud Montgomery; Sir Frederick Grant Banting; The Dionne Quintuplets; Canada’s School on Wheels; Terry Fox: Canada’s Hero; and nine national/re gional maps. Akins used primary documents, out of print books and the Internet to do her research. “We have excellent libraries in North Manchester and all of Indiana. No one writes a book on their own. I have a lot of people to thank for their help with my research,” she said. Akins dedicated the book to her grandmother, Leota Fredericka Pratt, because her grandmother was always supportive of her writing efforts. “I would spend time at my grandparents’ farm in the summers and a lot of that time was spent writing stories on my mom’s typewriter perched on top of an aluminum TV tray table. I thought I was quite the author in those days, and my grandmother had nothing but praise for anything I’d write. I want-

besides festivals that Lions Clubs support and sponsor. If it wasn’t for the Lions Club there would be less cornea transplants. The Lions Club helps many families who otherwise would not be able to afford this surgery. They also help with some cancer treatments for patients. They pay for the training of leader dogs. It costs approximately $40,000 to train a dog and equip a dog to his owner. Lions Clubs are vital to all communities. Most clubs struggle to gain new members, but it is a great way to get involved in the community, fellowship and help other people. The Lions Club motto is to serve and develop friendships. Thanks to all who attended the appreciation meal/Lions Club meeting. Those who attended were: President Keith and Pam Ford.

looks back on 53 years there. Rager’s days at the station are over. A new owner is converting the property into a self-service operation and adding a convenience store. “I was given 30 days,” says Rager who lives in Wabash. The 30 days ended Friday, but he stayed until Saturday, his last day. Rager, who leased the property before it was sold to the National Oil Co., Bluffton, exclaims, “I was having too much fun when they kicked me out!” He began during the Depression. “I started in 1934,” he recalls. “Things were picking up a bit then. Before the gas station, I’d been working on construction work at 50 cents an hour. Other construction workers were paid 35 cents. You just had to make do on that.” He had wanted to attend college, “but I just couldn’t swing it. So when the guy that had the station wanted to get rid of it, I took it.

People were begging for jobs then - it was something to do.” He never thought that job would last more than 50 years. Looking through the window, he says, “I’ve got a good view from here. That’s what I like. And people coming in and out.” A customer comes in for chewing tobacco and asks, “How’re you doin? Keeping outta trouble?” Rager replies, “I dunno, I’m tryin.’” The customer leaves and Rager talks about the changes in prices. “Back then, when I started, chewing tobacco was 10 cents a packet; I just charged that guy $1.20 a packet.” “The cheapest gas I sold then was eight gallons for a dollar. I also had a few candy bars for the kids at about 5 cents a bar. We had an iceman come and fill a cooler and I’d store pop in it.” “New cars could be bought for $500 $700,” he recalls. “But when anyone wanted to fill up to go to

Indianapolis, that was a real trip. It costs money!” During his 53 years, he’s seen lots of changes, but encountered few problems. “There really was only one time there was a problem,” he remembers. “A few years back, I got knocked on the head. The guy planned on robbing the place, but I came to too fast and that scared him off !” The man was caught by police, convicted, and handed a jail sentence. More traffic goes by the station now than 50 years ago and faster too. “You always get some who can’t read the signs,” he says referring to the speed limit. He’s seen some “pretty bad” accidents in the area. The station sits at the corner of Davis Street, Lagro and U.S. 24. And even in bad weather, he has kept it open. “There haven’t been too many weather problems,” he thinks back. “Except for one during that blizzard we had in the

‘70s when I couldn’t get through from Wabash.” He has had no helpers, but usually was able to find someone to fill in when he wanted to take a vacation. “Not long ones though!” he added. And he liked to take time off occasionally to see a football game. Now, with

the prospect of plenty of spare time, what are his plans? “Well, that’s the $64,000 question,” he replies with a chuckle. “Probably do some traveling, see some more football games.” Meanwhile, the last few days kept him busy. “I’ve been burning trash the last few days,” he says.

“There’s a lot of ‘wreckage’ - a lot of accumulation over the years of stuff I probably should never have saved.” He looks over to the service bay: “Those big doors will probably come out when they put in the convenience store. It’ll all be self-service,” which,

Rager believes, all gas stations will eventually be. There are no regrets about not being able to attend college. “It’s no good crying over spilt milk,” he says. “I don’t know what I would have done, if I had gone.” His biggest regret in leaving is (continued on page 36)

commodity. Beneficial interest means retaining the ability to make decisions about the commodity; responsibility for loss or damage to the commodity; and title to the commodity. Once beneficial interest in a commodity is lost, the commodity is ineligible for loan - even if the producer regains beneficial interest. Commodity loan eligibility also requires compliance with conservation and wetland protection requirements, beneficial interest requirements, acreage reporting, and ensuring that the commodity meets CCC minimum grade and quality standards. For commodities to be eligible, they must have been produced by an eligible producer, be in existence and in a storable condition, and be merchantable for food, feed or other uses as determined by CCC. The quality of the commodity in farm storage must be maintained throughout the term of the loan. Producers do not have to participate in the DCP and/or ACRE programs to be eligible for commodity loans. Violating provisions of a marketing assistance loan may trigger administrative actions, such as assessing liquidated damages, calling the loan, and denial of future farm-stored loans. The most common violations are removing or disposing of a commodity under loan without prior authorization, or providing an incorrect quantity certification. Farm Storage Facility Loans Available The Farm Storage Facility Loan Program (FSFL) is a low interest loan program that is available to producers of eligible commodi(continued on page 37)

Marketing Assistance Loans... continued from page 36 ties to help build or upgrade their on-farm commodity storage and handling facilities. Eligible commodities include: corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, oats, wheat, barley or minor oilseeds (whether harvested as grain or as other than grain), hay and renewable biomass. Additionally, facility loans are available for honey, fruits (including nuts) and vegetables for cold storage. Some of the program details include: - The maximum loan amount is 85 percent of the net cost of the facility, not to exceed $500,000 per loan. - The loan term will be for 7, 10 or 12 years depending on the loan amount. - The interest rate will be fixed for the term of the loan. The interest rates for loans approved for November 2011 are 1.500 percent for a seven-year term; 2.000 percent for a 10-year term; and 2.250 percent for a 12-year term. - Loans over $50,000 require security, such as real estate or an irrevocable letter of credit.

- Construction of the storage facility cannot begin until after the FSFL application has been submitted to FSA and the loan has been approved. Depending on the loan amount, some loans require FSA State Committee approval. Farm Loan Programs FSA is committed to providing farmers with loans to meet their farm credit needs. If you are a beginning farmer with limited resources, are having trouble obtaining the credit you need for your farm, or regularly borrow from FSA, direct and guaranteed loans are currently available. Ask your lender about an FSA loan guarantee and the creative methods available to purchase real estate using a combination of direct and guaranteed loan assistance. Guaranteed loans may also be available if you have had a setback and your lender is reluctant to extend or renew your loan. Farm ownership loans or farm operating loans may be

obtained as direct loans for a maximum of $300,000. Guaranteed loans can reach a maximum indebtedness of $1,214,000. Producers are encouraged to apply early so that a loan can be processed and funded in a timely manner. To find out more about FSA loan programs, contact the county office staff. Rural Youth Loans FSA makes loans to rural youths to establish and operate income-producing projects in connection with 4-H clubs, FFA and other agricultural groups. Projects must be planned and operated with the help of the organization advisor, produce sufficient income to repay the loan, and provide the youth with practical business and educational experience. Loans may not exceed $5,000. Youth Loan E l i g i b i l i t y Requirements: - Be a citizen of the United States, or a legal resident alien; - Be 10 years to 20 years of age; - Comply with FSA’s general eligibility requirements; - Reside in a rural
