John Salb to retire as Conservation Officer after 32 years

Retirement Open House slated for Dec. 2nd, 1-3 p.m., at Winchester Senior Center

by Brent Swan On Nov. 30, after serving Wabash County for 32 years, Indiana Conservation Officer John Salb will retire. In announcing the move, Salb said his goal is to spend more time with family. “Part of my decision was that I wanted to spend some more time with my dad who is in his mid 80’s,” Salb said. “I’d like to spend some more quality time with him. I’ve got four grandkids in California I’d like to spend some more time with as well.” Salb originally came to Wabash County as a rookie officer from the southern Indiana town of Jasper, about 60 miles north and east of Evansville. When installed as a Conservation Officer, Salb said he had never been to Wabash prior to his assignment, but quickly grew fond of the area and the weather. “In those first two months before I went to the Law Enforcement Academy, we had snow and ice,” Salb said. “I had never been on a snowmobile, and I was able to get on one very early in my career. Growing up in southern Indiana, the opportunity to ice fish was maybe once per season, where up here it was about the middle of December through February or March. I’ve always liked the cold weather and I really liked it up here.” In addition to the colder weather, Salb said he quickly noticed Wabash County was home to anything a Conservation Officer could hope for. “Here within the immediate area, you have state forests, reservoirs, ponds, farms, and plenty of hunting and fishing opportunities,” Salb said. “As a Conservation Officer, it’s just a perfect situation to be in.” Although the job was something he quickly grew fond of, Salb said it didn’t come without sacrifice. “We as Conservation Officers work nearly every major holiday throughout the year, so it’s

tough, especially on the kids when they are going somewhere for a 4th of July party, and you have to work,” Salb explained. “I have had the support of my wife (Boo) and kids (Kaitlyn and Keri), which has helped make it easier. “I’ve worked alongside some great officers in Jim Kendall and Lynn Riggs, both are retired, and Jerry Hoerdt and Jon Engle. I’ve had very good supervisors that have understood that, over time, we have to change our schedules to do certain things and allow us to have some family life. It would have been tough without all of their support.” As is standard with any career, the job has continually evolved. One of the biggest changes Salb has observed over the years is the increase in deer population. “One of the first years I was on when we were checking deer in, I think we checked in 300 deer,” Salb said. “There’s been a tremendous growth in the deer population. I think it has some to do with the fact that our hunters are now more informed than they ever have been. “When I came on, we didn’t have the communications that we do now,” Salb continued. “We are dispatched out of Bloomington now, and we can talk all over the state on our radios. Everything is computerized and goes into a central database. Back then, everything was done on typewriters or by hand. I’m sure that some of our new officers have never even used a typewriter.” Despite all the changes, Salb said it is the relationships he has built over the years he will miss the most. “Early in my career, I spent a lot of time on the reservoirs in a 16-foot johnboat that felt like it was 8 feet wide and had a 25 hp motor on it. I had met a couple from Elwood and every time I was out there I’d run into them,” Salb said. “It got to the point where I’d run into them, and they’d say, ‘John, make sure you come back by here, we’re making sandwiches for you.’ “I like to give out my business card so people know how to con(continued on page 5)

JOHN SALB recently announced he will retire after 32 years as an Indiana Conservation Officer on Nov. 30. Salb will celebrate his retirement Dec. 2, from 1 to 3 p.m., at the Dallas Winchester Senior Center. The public is invited to attend. (photo by Brent Swan)

Wabash City Schools and the Metropolitan School district create a common calendar By Ashley Flynn For the second year in a row, Wabash City Schools Superintendent Jason Callahan and Metropolitan School District Superintendent Sandra Weaver have collaborated on building a common calendar. “We hope this will help support our kids, teachers and community with our kids having common breaks and starting and ending the school year at the same time,” Dr. Callahan told The Paper of Wabash County. By being on the same schedule, families split between the districts will now have the same breaks. The districts previously had similar calendars, but each made a few changes to be on the same METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT OF schedule. “We want to share more resources and this WABASH COUNTY Superintendent Dr. Sandra and Wabash City Schools allows us to do that in a better, more effective way. Weaver Superintendent Dr . Jason Callahan have collabManchester was part of the discussion and their orated to create a common schedule for their calendar is a little different than ours, but they did come closer this year. As a county, we are try- school districts. (photo by Ashley Flynn) ing to work together,” said Dr. Weaver. “We know this helps the students in the common things they share such as Heartland and classes.” Students from nine different schools participate in Heartland Career Center classes, and students may miss out on classes because their calendar breaks are different. Wabash City School and MSD schools also share some of the same classes. “We may have students that go to Wabash City Schools for band, but they are still our students. We can have students cross like that,” said Dr. Weaver. Having a common calendar also creates new opportunities for sharing resources. “Upper level math teachers are very hard to find and there may be a time when we decide to share a teacher and have them centrally located. So Wabash, Northfield and Southwood can all have the same teacher. We are making steps towards that if we ever want to do that,” said Dr. Weaver. “It’s not consolidation; it’s using our resources the best way we can.” Dr. Callahan added, “Foreign language is another area to collaborate. Our administrators are taking a trip to China in hopes of getting a Chinese foreign language exchange teacher. It makes a lot of sense to share that resource and having a common calendar makes that possible.” Sharing resources also makes sense financially for the school districts. They currently have an alternative learning class. “One district paid for the computers and licenses and another district paid for the staff. We shared resources so both don’t have to pay for staff and computers and licensing,” said Dr. Weaver.

development of a tenyear master plan for facilities at six sites that serve Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Tipton and Wabash counties. The master planning process included assessing all existing facilities, outreach to community leaders and projecting student enrollment. The plan established priorities for facility improvements to help Ivy Tech meet the most pressing educational needs for the 6,000 students enrolled in the Kokomo region. Not surprisingly, the majority of Ivy Tech campuses in the region have significant needs for new or renovated buildings. With the exception of Logansport and the Kokomo main building, almost all Ivy Tech buildings in the region were not built for higher education.

Many building systems and some of the facilities have outlived their useful life and should be replaced. The Kokomo campus had the most pressing facility needs of any site in the region. The master plan calls for consolidating programs on the main campus and creating a more welcoming and pedestrian-friendly campus. The plan would create cutting-edge facilities for nursing, medical assisting, surgical technology, dental assisting, health care support and paramedic programs in the Student Services building for the Schools of Nursing and Health Sciences. This is the second-highest attended program in Ivy Tech’s Kokomo region and currently operates in off-site leased space. Other

recommended campus improvements include a building addition where student services (including student registration, financial aid, advising and career services) can be consolidated in one location to better serve students. Several buildings on the Kokomo campus need new roofs; new electrical panels; new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems; and improvements to building exteriors, safety and security systems, and to meet requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The region will request $25 million in state funding

for the Kokomo campus renovations, which could begin construction in 2014 and be completed in 2016. Facility recommendations for other sites in the region include: Logansport - Add four classrooms and laboratories to meet growing student enrollment at the existing building that was completed in 2010. Peru – Renovate the existing building to resize classrooms, replace the roof, replace air handling units, address life safety deficiencies, refinish floors and resurface the parking lot. Rochester - No facil-

ity projects are recommended at the leased space. Tipton - No facility projects are recommended at the leased space. Wabash – Renovate within the next ten years to address life safety and ADA deficiencies, resize classrooms and provide infrastructure for future technology system improvements. Pursue opportunity for new facility in Wabash County. Additional details are available in the facility master plan, located on our website a t http://ivytech.edu/ko komo/masterplan.ht ml.

Parkview Huntington Hospital to create Northeast Indiana’s first Autism center

P a r k v i e w Huntington Hospital and Parkview Health System announced that the hospital will develop a comprehensive center for the treatment of autism, to open in early 2013. The Parkview Huntington Hospital Autism Center will provide therapeutic and rehabilitation services for children ages 2 - 18 and support groups for their families. “This is a very exciting step in the treatment of autism in this area,” Darlene Garrett, chief operating officer for the hospital said. “There currently is no treatment center for autism north of Indianapolis. Our center will be of tremendous help to local families.” The autism center will consist of two facilities. Physical

and occupational rehabilitation services will be provided at the hospital on Stults Road. Education, cognitive and behavioral therapy, and support activities will take place at a building on Theater Avenue. Renovations to create the treatment spaces will begin at both facilities in first quarter 2013. It is anticipated that both facilities will be open no later than second quarter 2013, depending on the finalization of the Indiana Department of Health approval process. Initially, it will provide treatment for 10 children, with an eventual capacity of 40, and will be staffed by board certified behavior analysts. “The Parkview Huntington Hospital Autism Center will be a very comprehen-

sive, full-time program. This type of intensive, daylong program is proven to be much more beneficial than shorter sessions,” explained Mike Gerue, vice president of neurosciences for Parkview Health. “The support aspect for families is also vital because when a child is diagnosed with autism, the entire family is affected. Often, parents feel isolated and without the coping mechanisms and help they need.” Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. It is estimated that 1 in 88 children have autism, 1 in 54 boys. Boys are four times more likely than girls to have it. Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning it has a wide variation of develop-

mental issues. Symptoms can range from mild social awkwardness to distracting repetitive behaviors to disabling difficulties in communicating, relating to others, and understanding emotions and expressions. Since the symptoms can vary so much, treatments must be highly individualized. “That’s our plan for the Parkview Huntington Hospital Autism Center,” said Garrett. When a child in northeast Indiana is diagnosed with autism, families have only a limited number of resources for help. Often, they are referred to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The long distance can make treatment very difficult. “Parkview saw the need to make help available to chil-

dren locally, just as treatment is available here for other conditions,” said Garrett. While the autism center will be located in Huntington, children from other counties in the region can be referred to the center too. D u a n e Hougendobler, M.D., of Parkview Physicians Group in Huntington said, “As a pediatrician, I am thrilled about this advancement for local families. Children with autism are often very intelligent, but need therapeutic guidance to be able to attend school, and go on to develop careers and become contributing members of society. So, the creation of the Parkview Huntington Hospital Autism Center will facilitate the success of children with

autism in the educational system and the workplace.” The announcement about the autism center was made on Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Parkview H u n t i n g t o n Community Gala, presented at the hospital by the Parkview H u n t i n g t o n Foundation. The foundation has pledged $45,000 toward the start-up costs for the center and will launch a fundraising campaign to support the project. P a r k v i e w Huntington Hospital

is a not-for-profit, 36bed community hospital providing comprehensive inpatient, outpatient, emergency and diagnostic healthcare services and supportive and educational programming for the people of Huntington County and surrounding communities. Parkview Huntington is a member of Parkview Health, a family of hospitals and healthcare services covering a 15-county region in northeastern Indiana and western Ohio.

ing for 8,300 scholarships to be awarded next spring. “I applaud these talented students for this achievement,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett said. “These students are shining examples of the type of academic success made possible through hard work and great instruction. These students, their parents and their teachers should be very proud.” High school seniors from more than 100 Indiana High Schools were selected based on their scores on the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit S c h o l a r s h i p Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). The Indiana students in this semifinalists group were selected from approximately 1.5 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools across the U.S.

To move on to the next round, these semifinalists must fulfill several requirements set forth by the NMCS. A student selected for a National Merit Scholarship could receive one of three types of scholarships to be awarded in the spring of 2012. The PSAT is a standardized test that prepares students for the SAT. Additionally, it is used as a college readiness indicator and is used to identify students who have the potential for future honors or Advanced Placement courses and credit. So far, more than 118,000 PSAT exams have been ordered by Indiana schools and are intended to be given to Indiana sophomores and juniors this fall. Since 2009, Indiana has paid for all high

school sophomores to take the PSAT because of its usefulness in identifying students’ strengths and areas for improvement. The NMSC also administers the N a t i o n a l A c h i e v e m e n t Scholarship Program. African American students are selected based on their 2011 PSAT/NMSQT scores. Out of approximately 1,600 students chosen nationwide, 28 Indiana students from 17 schools were named 2013 National A c h i e v e m e n t Semifinalists.

The six-person crews (at least one adult and five teens) will spend their days working on interior

or exterior painting, drywall, steps, or wheelchair ramps for the elderly or people who cannot physically or financially complete the work themselves. There is no charge to these families for labor or materials. Eighty to 100 homes will qualify for this free service. It is confidential and free of charge.

Celebrate Lung Cancer Awareness Month by Quitting Tobacco for Good Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Indiana, killing approximately 4,000 Hoosiers each year. However, lung cancer burden can be reduced by up to 90 percent through a decreased use of tobacco, according to The Health Consequences of Smoking: A Report of the Surgeon General (2004). To help raise awareness of this deadly disease and how it can be prevented, November is rec-

ognized as Lung Cancer Awareness Month. According to Indiana Facts and Figures 2012, more than 5,200 new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed each year. Smoking is the greatest risk factor for the disease, accounting for nearly 87 percent of all lung cancer d e a t h s . Approximately 25 percent of Hoosiers smoke cigarettes. “In Indiana, we have much room for

improvement where smoking and tobacco use are concerned,” said State Health Commissioner Gregory N. Larkin, M.D. “It’s well known that individuals who quit smoking significantly reduce their risk of developing cancer and many other chronic diseases and conditions. It’s time for Hoosiers who use tobacco to take that first step and make a positive change for themselves and their families.”

The effects of quitting smoking begin immediately. Within 20 minutes, blood pressure and pulse return to normal levels. Within 72 hours, the chance of a heart attack drops and sense of smell and taste begin to return. In three months, lung capacity increases and in one year, risk of heart attack is cut in half. Within five years, heart disease rate drops to that of a non-smoker. “We have an excel-

lent free resource for smokers in Indiana who want to quit,” said Dr. Larkin. “The Indiana Tobacco Quitline provides oneon-one support with a trained Quit Coach and nicotine replacement therapy, like the nicotine patch or gum, when appropriate. Anyone who wants to quit should call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) and give it a chance.” Earlier this year, Indiana enacted the first statewide smoke

McLaughlin says local shopping great way to support local economy

Dear editor, As we enter the holiday season, I would like to take the opportunity to remind the community of North Manchester to visit our local businesses for many of your holiday shopping needs. We have many unique retailers and specialty stores in our fine community, and they carry many items that make for quality choices for

Christmas or holiday gifts. It’s easy to get in the habit of driving through town on the way to Fort Wayne, assuming that we have to travel nearly an hour to have our needs met. I would encourage you this year, to venture into our stores and businesses, whether in the downtown area or on the west side of town, to see how much of

your shopping you can accomplish within our own city limits. You may be pleasantly surprised what you will find, while saving the cost of fuel, not spending the extra time driving, and fighting the more often than not hectic traffic and long lines associated with “mall shopping.” A great time to start your in town shopping would be this

weekend, when many businesses within North Manchester will be participating in the Holiday Open Houses. Most of the participating businesses are offering specials and discounts as well. The Chamber of Commerce also sells Chamber Bucks, which are available in $5, $10, and $20 increments and can be used just like cash at

many North Manchester places of business. We all win when we shop local. We support our local economy, and we support each other. Our business community and North Manchester in general grows as we support one another. Tim McLaughlin NM Chamber of Commerce Executive Director

tact me,” Salb continued. “I had a call from dispatch to call a number back, so I did and it was a gentleman from Elwood. I asked if we had met, and he said, ‘We sure have. You gave me your card back in the early 90’s down by College Corner Church.’ Things like that are pretty important to me. “The relationships you develop are the hardest things to walk away from,” Salb said. “The retired guys all say things change, and that you lose track of the guys you talked to while out on the job.” Although hesitant to walk away from the relationships built over the years, Salb said he looks forward to catching up on much some muchneeded free time visiting both friends and family. “I’m going to enjoy being able to tell people that, yes, I can go out to eat on a

Saturday night instead of having to work,” Salb said. “I’ve been fortunate to have had the career I have. I’ve had a great employer in the DNR Law Enforcement Division; they have been terrific for 32 years. I hope that I have been as good to them as they have been to me.” When asked to name one of the lighter-hearted moments of his tenure, Salb talked about his first day on the job. “Nov. 3, 1980 was my first day in Wabash County. I had stayed at my sisters in Indianapolis, so I drove up there,” Salb said. “I had never been to Wabash. I don’t know if I had even been north of Indianapolis. I pulled into Wabash and met my supervisors and Jim Kendall at the jail. “We went into the squad room and Wabash County

Sheriff Thompson walked up to me. He introduced himself and said, ‘Can I give you a little advice, from an old law man to a new law man?’ Here I am this young Conservation Officer ready to sponge up any information he could give me, and I said, ‘Yes, sir.’ “He looked at me and said ‘Don’t ever park in the Sheriff ’s parking spot again.’ “I never parked in

that spot again.” When asked what we will see him do next, Salb admitted he wasn’t going to rush into anything. “I don’t have a big trip planned or anything like that,” Salb said. “I think I’m just going to enjoy the time that I have now. My sister told me not too long ago that we are dead a lot longer than we are alive, so enjoy it while you can.”

Wabash Rotary donates $11,000 to United Fund For the 21st consecutive year, the Wabash Rotary Club hosted a benefit golf outing to kick-off Wabash County United Fund’s annual fundraising campaign. This year’s proceeds set a new record with an $11,000 award to the organization. Accepting on behalf of the United Fund was Deborah VanMeter, Executive

Director. VanMeter stated, “The Wabash Rotary Club support along with the community support of the annual campaign kickoff was incredible.” Rotary members Dave Dorais, Tom Frank, Brad Farlow, Art Jasen and Christine Flohr worked closely with VanMeter during the planning and execu-

tion of the event. “We wanted the proceeds from the golf outing to exceed the $10,000 donation mark, and this year we accomplished that,” shared Dave Dorais, committee chair for the outing. “The committee works well together and has a great time working together for a good cause in our community.” The golf outing took place at the Honeywell Golf Course with lunch donated by Miller’s Merry Manor. This year’s hole in one sponsors were Dorais Chevrolet, Buick, GMC Dealer, Beauchamp and McSpadden and Brandt’s HarleyDavidson. Wabash County United Fund 2012 campaign chair, Troy Cole, expressed gratitude to the Wabash Rotary Club for the support of the annual campaign. Cole stated, “The Rotary Club kick-off event unites the entire community in our efforts toward a successful campaign.” In addition to the

Rotary Club, the United Fund board of directors would like to thank the following e v e n t sponsors: Honeywell Golf Course, Millers’ Health Systems, Beauchamp & McSpadden, Dorais Chevy, Buick, GMC, Pettit Printing, B. Walter & Company, First Merchants Bank, David L. Mann, CLU CFP, Dr. Bradley A. Farlow, Rea Logan & Co., LLC, Edward Jones, Paperworks Industry, Inc., Wells Fargo Bank, J.M.

NEW YORK F L O O D I N G REPORT FROM OUR SON: Our older son, Tory, lives on 44th Street in Manhattan and works in Times Square. He kept us updated on the damage Hurricane Sandy did near where he lives. The flooding on Oct. 30 came within one block of his home, which is located about three blocks from the Hudson River walkway. He keeps his car in a parking garage on the river and decided to keep it on the first inside level to protect it from the wind thinking there was no way the Hudson River would rise above the pier and then another two feet to the first floor of parking. He emailed us on Oct. 30 and said “Car is probably totaled. The garage was flooded up to the windshield. Guess I should have moved it upstairs, especially considering the garage is on a pier on the river!”

His parking garage is just a short distance from where the aircraft carrier the Intrepid is docked. This past summer the space shuttle was placed aboard the Intrepid under an inflatable dome. The dome was deflated by the storm but the shuttle was not harmed. Tory never lost electricity and can walk to work at Viacom in Times Square so the loss of public transportation will not be a problem for him in going back to work. His place is serving as a place where others can recharge phones and computers and take showers.

Dear editor, Historian Ronald Woodward recently gave an interesting talk to the Wabash County Genealogical Society about the Rodef Sholem Cemetery on the west edge of Wabash City Park. An iron fence, which once graced the county courthouse, surrounds the cemetery. At an early period in the history of the Hebrew settlement of Wabash County these grounds were, and continue today, as a separate place for Hebrew people. In April of 1854, one acre was purchased west of Charley Creek facing south. Many early Jewish settlers were shopkeepers and

merchants along Canal Street and near the Wabash Canal. The Hebrew Church was a brick structure still standing on the south bend of Falls Avenue near Sinclair Street. Many recognizable names are engraved on the monuments of Rodef Sholem Cemetery. Among them is the Alexander New family which gave Wabash the Lincoln Statue standing on the Wabash County Courthouse lawn; the Oppenheim families of Peru and North Manchester; the Harold Wolf families of Beitman and Wolf Department Store, Wabash; and the Samuel Sposeep family. One must reflect on

Eight ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency through lighting (BPT) - It’s easy to instantly trim your energy consumption and boost the ecofriendliness of your home. The key to easy energy savings is lighting. Though for many homeowners and renters, knowing how and what to do to improve their home’s lighting energy efficiency can be confusing. To alleviate that confusion, the American Lighting Association (ALA) offers eight easy energy-saving steps: 1. Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents (CFLs). To make an immediate impact on your energy consumption - and your utility bill - swap out your most-used incandescent bulbs with CFLs. “It’s the easiest way to start improving your energy efficiency,” says Joe ReyBarreau, education consultant for the ALA and an associate professor at the University of Kentucky’s School of Interior Design. If you have not used any residential CFLs in your home, you might be surprised at their range and versatility.

The newest CFLs do not flicker like those of old, and they have much better color quality than even just a few years ago. A close look at the color temperature listed on the bulb package label can help you get the right product. “What happens is that people buy a color temperature that’s too cool, and they absolutely hate it,” says ReyBarreau. Instead, choose a bulb that’s labeled residential color, warm or soft white. 2. Replace dimmable incandescent bulbs with dimmable CFLs. As the color range of CFLs has improved, so has their ability to be dimmed, says Rey-Barreau and dimmable bulbs are a proven way to decrease energy use. However, while the technology has come a long way, CFLs still do not have the dimming range of incandescents. “At about 20 to 30 percent, the CFL will shut off,” says Rey-Barreau. 3. Buy name brands. It is frustrating to invest in a longer-lasting bulb only to have it burn out quickly. To avoid

that, buy recognizable brands for improved quality and color. 4. Revamp outdoor fixtures. Your outdoor lighting fixture may be beautiful, but it may be an energy guzzler, too. Start outside as you slowly replace fixtures with more energy efficient versions. Look for those that use either CFLs or light-emitting diodes (LEDs), or those that activate using a motion sensor or photocell. 5. Buy Energy Starqualified fixtures and bulbs. Energy Star is a U.S. Department of Energy certification most recognized on appliances - though also used on lighting fixtures and bulbs. “Any time someone buys a product that has the Energy Star label, they’ll know it has both efficiency and quality verified,” says Rey-Barreau. 6. Retrofit recessed lighting with LED fixtures. Recessed fixtures can be easily replaced with super energy-efficient LED versions - without any messy construction. “You just take off part of the existing fixture, and the replace-

Home renovations before the holidays Fall is a great time to tackle some of those home improvement projects. Now that the summer vacations are over and children are back in school, you’re ready to make your home all comfy and cozy before the deep freeze and holiday guests arrive. Consider starting with your bathroom first, since this is a room frequently used both by your family and guests. If your bathroom is dated in decor, aged in function and behind the times in energy efficiency, you’ll be doing your home and your pocketbook a good service by upgrading some features. Here’s how: * Beautiful visuals: The bathroom vanity is the first feature in

the room people will see. Incorporate a contemporary new look in your bath that will earn admiring glances from your guests with TOTO’s Maris Semi-Recessed Vessel Lavatory. With a sleek design and deep basin, this semirecessed lavatory has a nano-technology glaze applied that helps prevent bacteria and soap debris from sticking to its surfaces. Because of this, you’ll use fewer harsh chemicals to keep the sink clean, which saves you money and is better for the environment. Pair the lavatory with the Aquia Single Handle Faucet from TOTO for a seamless and stylish finish. This high-efficiency faucet is made (continued on page 14)

ment fixture fits into the old housing,” says Rey-Barreau. “LED fixtures have a high initial cost, but the fixture will last literally the lifetime of the project.” 7. Replace your under-cabinet lighting. With long life and super high efficiency, some LED lighting also offers fairly easy installation, including pucks and strips used as under-cabinet

lighting. As an added bonus, LED lights will not give off the undesirable heat of incandescents. 8. Be realistic in your expectations. While upgrading some or all of your lighting is a good way to improve your energy efficiency, it is not a one-stop solution. “One of the things sometimes misunderstood is that people assume if they

replace all of their incandescent lighting with energy-efficient versions they are going to save this huge amount on their electricity,” says ReyBarreau. They will save, of course, but since lighting only accounts for about 10 percent of all electricity consumption, the amount saved will be relative to that. The most savings comes over the long term

with continued lower utility bills and fewer burned-out bulbs.

Protecting your home against winter’s ‘silent killer’ (BPT) - It’s colorless, odorless and the number one cause of accidental poisoning in the United States. And, it worsens in the winter. Known as the silent killer, carbon monoxide (CO) is responsible for an average of 450 deaths and 20,000 emergency room visits each year, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. With more than twofifths of all CO poisonings occurring between December and February, homeowners are at increased risk once temperatures begin to drop. “During the winter

months, many families turn to heating sources they might not use at other times of the year,” says Deborah Hanson, director of external affairs for First Alert, the most trusted name in home safety. “While these heating sources may be effective at providing warmth, they also can pose great risks if not used properly. To help protect loved ones from the dangers of CO poisoning, it is important for homeowners to take proper precautions when dealing with any kind of fuel-burning heat source.” First Alert recommends the following

tips and tools for keeping your home and loved ones warm and safe - this winter and all year long: Protect against CO poisoning Run kitchen vents or exhaust fans any time the stove is in use. The kitchen stove is among the most frequent sources of CO poisoning in the home. To help eliminate danger of overexposure, never use the oven to heat a home. Always run exhaust fans when cooking, especially during the holidays when stoves are left on for longer periods of time. Also, open a nearby window periodically when cook-

ing to allow fresh air to circulate. Never use generators indoors. In the case of a power outage, portable electricity generators must be used outside only with power brought into the structure with a cord. Never use them inside the home, in a garage or in any confined area that can allow CO to collect. And be careful to follow operating instructions closely. Also refrain from using

charcoal grills, camp stoves or other similar devices indoors. Have fuel-burning appliances inspected regularly. Arrange for a professional inspection of all fireplaces and fuel-burning appliances - such as furnaces, stoves, clothes dryers, water heaters and space heaters - annually to detect any CO leaks. Be mindful of the garage. Warming the car in the morning

before work is common during the winter months, but running vehicles inside an attached garage, even if the door is open, is hazardous, as CO can leak into the home. Install/test CO alarms. Carbon monoxide alarms are the only way to detect this poisonous gas in a home. For maximum protection, alarms should be installed on every

Home renovations... continued from page 13 from solid brass and is WaterSense approved. * Warmer flooring: There’s nothing worse than bare feet on a cold floor - especially in the morning. Tile flooring looks beautiful in bathrooms, but can leave the feet feeling a bit chilled. Place

a soft and decorative rug in front of the sink, the shower and the toilet to help alleviate cold toes. Look for rugs that match the color and decor of the room. Or use the rugs as an accent color to brighten up the space.

* Efficient commodes: Upgrading your toilet to a highefficiency unit will make a noticeable difference on your water bill. Consider the Universal Design Maris Dual-Flush Toilet from TOTO, which has clean, con-

temporary lines, a recessed-curve tank, and skirted design that saves on cleaning time.

To introduce a calm and restful spa-like ambiance, find new linens in colors that blend with the colors on the walls. Or go bold with vibrant accents and splashes of color to give your room a sense of energy. * Elegant tiling: Prefab showers are easy and convenient, but they can look aged and stained after long use. To really spruce up the look of your shower area in the bathroom, consider tiling the surround, or installing large glass pieces painted to match the color of the room. You’ll be amazed at how beautiful the shower will appear, and you may decide that you won’t want to hang a curtain to block the view of the beautiful surround, and instead opt for a sliding glass door. Once you see how beautiful your renovated bathroom appears, you’ll probably want to get started sprucing up the rest of your house. In the meantime, enjoy the bathroom, as well as the compliments you’ll receive from your visiting guests.

Button-up your home for winter (BPT) - As the leaves turn and fall to the ground, it’s time to start thinking about buttoning up your home for winter to keep you and your family healthy and comfortable, your belongings safe and high energy costs at bay. Heating accounts for 34 percent of all annual utility usage, according the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). One of the most cost-effective ways to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of your home is to seal and insulate the envelope - outer walls, windows, doors and roof. By doing so, Energy Star estimates that a homeowner can save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs, the equivalent to lowering up to 10 percent of total energy costs for the year. Here are a few ways to keep you and your family healthy, your belongings safe and

help lower your heating bill: Old, drafty windows and doors can account for home energy loss of up to 30 percent, according to the EPA, which means paying more in the winter to heat your home. By replacing non-performing windows and doors, homeowners can drastically reduce heating costs. A typical home that replaces its single-paned, clear glass windows with energy-efficient windows can realize up to $501 in annual savings, according to the EPA. “Windows are a great source of natural light, and a great way to admire the picturesque snow-covered trees and lawns while avoiding the brisk winter air; however, they can also be the site of the biggest energy efficiency offender,” says David Harrison, chief marketing officer of Champion Windows, one of the nation’s leading home improve-

Seven steps to getting your car ready for winter

Winter has a tendency to sneak up on all of us. But where you can simply dig the winter coat out of the closet when the first cold snap rolls through, preparing your car for winter takes a little more foresight. Luckily, getting your car ready for the winter is not an intensive process and you’ll save yourself a lot of stress by taking a little time to prepare. By checking off these seven items as you set up for cold-weather driving, you’ll help ensure there aren’t any surprises when the temperatures drop. Check fluids. Most importantly check your coolant to make sure you have enough, as you’ll be left without heat if you don’t. Consult your owner’s manual to find the correct blend if you need to add more. It’s never a bad idea to keep extra coolant in your trunk in case of emergency. While you’re at it, check to make sure your brake fluid, oil and transmission fluid are also at the proper levels. Wash and wax your car at a professional

car wash. It may seem counterintuitive to get your car nice and shiny for what’s often the sloppiest season, but a thorough wash can remove harmful compounds that may cause damage when mixed with sand and road salt. Experts from the International Carwash Association also recommend a coat of wax for an extra layer of protection from the elements. Professional car washes can also save up to 20 percent of the amount of water you’d use by washing your car at home. They do this by treating and reusing their water, (continued on page 16)

ment companies. “By installing our Comfort 365 Windows, homeowners can watch their heating bills drop and rid their homes of cold drafts.” Additionally, old or improperly installed siding can also be the cause of drafts. However, by installing new, energy-efficient vinyl siding and underlayment, homeowners can increase a homes’ R-Value, a measure of insulation’s ability to resist heat traveling through it. “Installing energyefficient siding can help insulate your home against the cold, reduce the amount of air flow into your house, and make it easier to keep warm air in the winter,” says Harrison. However, even the best windows, doors and siding can be drafty, if they are poorly installed. So it’s important to make sure your home improvement is completed by a quality contractor who has a long history of being in the business so you can be

sure they will be around if you have any issues down the road. Water leakage from snow, ice and rain can cause damage to the exterior and interior of your home. This can result in costly damage to framing, structure and insulation, more importantly it can cause issues - like mold - that can be harmful to the health of your family. The roof is often the site of leaks in homes; however, by installing a new roof and taking the proper precautions, leaks won’t be a problem, especially with Champion’s Comfort 365 Roof System, which uses a flexible, self-healing barrier in all leak vulnerable areas and is guaranteed with a limited lifetime warranty. “Your home will settle and shift over time and extreme weather can be an issue,” says Harrison. “It is important to have barriers to provide protection against leaks caused by roof setting and extreme weather. Unlike many compa-

nies who only use this on the north side of a home or treat it as an upgrade, Champion uses a flexible, selfhealing barrier anywhere your home’s roof joins and at all attachment points.” Other ways to improve the seal of your home to prevent moisture damage,

drafts and improve energy efficiency include: * Sealing leaks * Adding insulation * Sealing ducts “Now is the perfect time to make these improvements,” says Harrison. “Since it’s the offseason, homeowners can find great deals and attractive

financing to ‘button up’ your home for winter.” For more energy saving window, door, siding and roof tips, check out the U.S. Department of Energy’s website or Champion Window’s s i t e www.ChampionFactor yDirect.com.

Why a little fall outdoor maintenance can go a long way (BPT) - After spending the summer enjoying the outdoors, it can be a little bittersweet to get the deck and yard ready

for the cooler days ahead. The good news is getting outdoor areas ready for winter doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a time-consuming

process. A few simple steps can minimize extra work when warmer weather rolls around again. For each area of the yard, there are a few procedures that can save you big headaches in the long run. The many homeowners that put a lot of time and money into building a deck know the importance of preserving that investment. A wood deck should be stained annually, however, many homeowners are turning to lowmaintenance composite decking and railings, as composite

options by manufacturers like TimberTech offer high-end aesthetics with low-maintenance qualities. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that composite decks are mainten a n c e - f r e e . TimberTech provides a 25-year warranty on all of its products, and with some simple annual maintenance, they can be kept looking great for years to come. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decking experts recommend the following tips for composite deck care and cleaning: * Clear all debris to prohibit mold and

mildew growth. * When using a cleaner, be sure to use one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compatible with your decking material and follow the instructions. * Using a pressure washer is a great way to get a deep clean, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best not to exceed a pressure greater than 1,500 psi. In addition to raking to keep the yard clear of leaves, dethatching can prevent a buildup of above-ground roots that can be a detriment to soil health. Aerating in the fall can also help lawns recover from a summer of heavy use, pro-

Seven steps... rather than releasing toxic chemicals and grime into the storm drains, which can often occur with pave-

ment washing. Check your tires. Checking to make sure your tires arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worn and are properly inflated is especially important before winter sets in. Cold air can cause your tires to lose pressure, so be sure to check

viding much needed oxygen for the turf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots. After particularly dry summers, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt to water trees with a soaker hose or root irrigator so they have some water to help them survive the winter. Fall is also the time to clear out both garden and flower beds, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thank yourself in the spring for doing the work before winter set in. Be sure to get your fall-planting flower bulbs in before the ground freezes as well. Clearing all gutters of debris should be an annual fall task, as all

need to replace your tires. Check your wipers. When sloppy weather hits, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to make sure you have a reservoir full of wiper fluid. Checking your wiper blades for wear and replacing them if needed can prevent

huge visibility headaches once snow and sleet arrive. Test your battery. The next time you have the car in for an oil change, ask the mechanic to test your battery to make sure it can provide enough starting power once the temperature plummets. Brakes. While you have your car in, ask for a brake inspection as well, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need them to be in good working order when driving on slick roads. Winter emergency kit. In addition to stocking your car with a scraper and brush, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to include a few provisions in case you get stranded in snowy and cold conditions.

Stay warm this winter: home heating tips for tricky spaces (BPT) - When cold winds blow, it can be tricky to keep different rooms throughout your home at the right temperature - especially if you have old and drafty windows, tight spaces or room additions to work around. It can also be challenging to ensure economical comfort without having to do a major heating system overhaul. Yet there are easy and flexible ways to heat your home in areas where it needs it most and still stay comfortable all winter long. Odd-shaped rooms in older homes, additions such as sunrooms and

bonus rooms, and farflung spaces like remodeled basements and attics can pose a heating challenge. In addition, some homes have no ductwork heating system, making it impractical or expensive to consider installing one to heat such spaces. If this sounds like your house, consider these tips to keep your home warm this winter. Go ductless with room-by-room heating A ductless heating system can provide comfort where you want it, when you want it. For example, American Standard

Heating & Air Conditioning offers ductless split systems that can be retrofitted to a house that has no ductwork, or if the central heating system is already at capacity. Advantages of these systems include their small size and flexibility for heating and cooling individual rooms. A ductless system consists of two simple components: an outdoor compressor/condenser and one or more indoor units that deliver heated or cooled air. Since there is no ductwork, the small indoor unit can be mounted on most interior walls.

Mini Split Models have one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. Multi Split Models can have up to five indoor units connected to one outdoor unit, for heating rooms both efficiently and economically. Each unit is also individually controlled, for room-byroom comfort. Add warmth with a gas stove or fireplace Another option to consider is an individual heating unit, such as a gas stove. This can be a great solution for a hard-to-heat space, such as a porch converted to a year-round room. These stoves give off all the warmth and

Keep drafts out and dollars in by weatherizing your home (BPT) - Many homeowners expect their heating costs to rise as cold weather creeps around the corner. Contrary to popular belief, there are ways to keep your energy costs (and your thermostat) low during the winter. “In colder climates, it’s important for homeowners to keep their residences warm and energy bills low by weatherizing,” says Vageesh Bakhshi, category manager at ShurTech Brands, LLC. “The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that homeowners can usually save up to 20 percent of heating and cooling costs by properly sealing their homes. Weatherizing is a simple and affordable DIY project that can be completed in just one day, or even a weekend.” Weatherizing your house from top to bottom can help keep your family warm and toasty while saving money. Don’t be left in the cold learn ways to properly prepare your home for whatever weather this winter may bring. Protect your home from the attic cold. The attic is often overlooked as a source of energy loss. Although insulated, the attic is a big hole, especially the attic stairway opening, which can allow cold air to enter the home, forcing you to turn up your heat. Combat the cold with an Attic Stairway Cover from Duck brand they’re flexible and lightweight, easy to install and help prevent

cold drafts from seeping into your home through the attic stairway opening. Repositionable for easy attic access, Duck brand Attic Stairway Covers are a must-have for the cold winter months, and can even help save energy all year round. Combat the cold by sealing holes. Nooks and crannies are perfect for storing clothes and keepsakes, but they’re also where you occasionally find thinning wall insulation and holes, which are the main culprits of escaping heat - and dollars. To ensure your home is well-protected, cover and seal holes with a spray foam or foam board to block cold air. Also make sure to check all plumbing, ducts and electrical wiring areas that penetrate through walls, floors, ceilings and sof-

fits over cabinets. These areas are likely to have air leaks that can be easily caulked to block any potential air infiltration. Winterize windows for added warmth. To keep your home warm and comfortable, it’s important to cover all your bases, and windows are no exception. Casements are a prime location for heat to seep out and cold to creep in, so keep your house warm and draft-free by weatherizing windows with products like Duck brand Roll-On Window Kits. Made of a clear shrink film, these window kits provide an added barrier between the winter chill and your home, and come with a pre-taped edge for easy installation. Once spring arrives, simply peel the film from your windows and discard.

Fight strong winds with a storm door When old man winter comes knocking, block his entrance with a storm door. These durable doors are installed in front of the home’s access doors to protect against harsh weather, keeping your family warm and cozy. Storm doors increase the insulation of entrances by lowering the amount of air transferred with each entry and exit. When aligned well with the architecture of the home, they can add instant beauty and protection, while helping make your energy bill more appealing, too. By following these weatherization tips, you can rest assured that your home’s interior will be a little more protected from frightfully cold conditions.

glow of a traditional wood burning fireplace or stove, and can keep an entire room comfortable in the coldest months of the year, even if they are the room’s only heat source. Simply turn the flame on or off with a button, or set it to ignite only when the room reaches a preset temperature. Another consideration is a gas fireplace insert to efficiently heat your existing fireplace, a good solution in a basement or added family room.

Keep hot air in and cold air out Some simple repairs around the house can also ensure you’re not wasting precious heat. For example, older windows can let heated air escape. If you can’t replace your windows with more energy-efficient ones, improve the performance of the ones you have. Some ideas from the U.S. Department of Energy include using a heavy duty clear plastic sheet on a frame or taping clear plastic from the

inside of the window to reduce drafts; installing tight fitting, insulating window shades; and opening curtains and shades in the daytime to let in warming sunlight. You can also reduce heat loss by up to 50 percent by installing exterior or interior storm windows. There are no excuses for being cold this winter. Use these tips to keep Old Man Winter and his frosty breath at bay.

A synopsis of the play: Stella Devine, an aging theatre actress, is preparing for an upcoming show with her fellow company of actors, which includes an actor who has lost touch with reality and an actress who is a dim-witted beauty. Ginger, an adoring fan of Stella’s visits a rehearsal and finds herself in a very surprising situation. Throw in a news reporter working to uncover the story of Stella’s tyrannical ways, a set of twins who can’t seem to be in the same place at same time and an overbearing stage mother, and you’re in for a fun, delightful comedy. The tickets will be available at the door at a small charge. GOOD THINGS are happening at Troyer Memorial Library. The adult book club enjoyed discussing When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin under the leadership of Berti Huffschmidt. 17 attended the discussion Oct. 24th. The next book will be At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon Nov. 19 at 1 p.m. It is the first book in the Mitford series. Even if you have read the book in the past it is fun to discuss it with others.

2012 Holiday Open House Scheduled in North Manchester, Businesses asked to “Light up the Town” The holiday season is upon us, which means it’s time for shopping. North Manchester welcomes you to join local retailers for the annual Holiday Open Houses scheduled for Friday, Nov. 9, Saturday, Nov. 10 and Sunday, Nov. 11. The participating businesses are as follows: At Home Again, Cottage Creations Florist & Gifts, The Creative Stitch, Harting Furniture Gallery, Hire’s Gifts & Electronics, Seifert’s High 5 Sports, Main View Inn, Nordmann’s Nook, One World Handcrafts, KenapocoMocha Coffee and Pastry Shoppe, Modern

Impressions, Tiki Hut Tanning, Alco, Pizza Hut, and Manchester Marketplace. Please check individual stores for dates of participation and hours. Come and browse their holiday product display, seasonal specials, and more. “It is the hope of the Chamber to encourage people to shop local,” said Executive Director Tim McLaughlin. “Many of our stores and retailers are primed with all kinds of things that would make for fantastic Christmas ideas. Our retailers report year after year that many people come from as

far as Fort Wayne to spend a day shopping in North Manchester and we want to encourage our local consumers to do the same,” added McLaughlin. “The Chamber encourages everyone to spend some time in our local retail stores over this three day event to take advantage of many great savings.” “We are also encouraging businesses to

light up the downtown area with white lights in their windows as well this holiday season. Since we won’t have the option of having our typical snowflakes on the streetlight poles, it is our hope to light up the town this way,” McLaughlin added. “Having the lights up prior to the November 9th open houses would give our town a nice, unified look as we wel-

come out of town shoppers into our community,” he added. The Holiday Open House weekend is sponsored by the Retail Committee, a division of the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce. For more information contact the Chamber of Commerce at 260-9827644.

HCAC Thriller Extends MU Win Streak

NORTH MANC H E S T E R — M a n c h e s t e r University senior defensive back Jake Butler (South Bend) will remember his final home game in a Black and Gold uniform for some time to come. With Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference unbeaten Hanover attempting to rally all the way back from a 35-14 second half deficit,

Butler nabbed two aerial attempts in Spartan territory in the final quarter to preserve a 35-34 MU win. “It’s great for Jake, on Senior Day, to have a game like that,” Coach Shannon Griffith said. “It’ll be something he can remember back and tell others when he reflects on his collegiate career. “Overall, this was a great win for guys,”

he added. “The team has really had an undeniable will to win the last few weeks. There isn’t any panic, and the guys are really working well together day in and day out.” Griffith’s charges needed every bit of their 35-point, 391yard total offense effort to stave off the visiting Panthers. Manchester, moving to 5-4 overall and 5-2 in league play, jumped

out quickly with a pair of 50-plus-yard marches to lead 14-0 late in the first period. Sophomore running back Austin Adams (Dowagiac, Mich.) broke through a seam and rambled 58 yards for a touchdown, while junior quarterback Nick Williams (Fort Wayne) pulled off a nifty play-action fake and hit senior wide receiver Kurt Monix (Crown Point) on a 25-yard scoring strike on a fourth down call. The visiting Panthers (6-3, 6-1 HCAC) came back with a 10-play, 65-yard drive in the final minute of the first half to cut it to 14-7 at the break. Hanover came out for the second half and went on a lightning-fast threeplay, 70-yard march to even the contest at 1414. MU answered with

Murphy, Finicle garnish awards Southwood senior Emily Murphy and VolleyKnights Head Coach Tom Finicle each earned awards from the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association. For the second-straight season, Finicle was named the 2A North Coach of the Year. He guided the VolleyKnights to a 26-13 record and a trip to the 2A final four. Southwood also posted a 7-0 mark in the Three Rivers Conference, earning a conference crown for the sixth consecutive season. Murphy earned a spot on the 2A First Team All State roster. During the regular season, Murphy racked up 196 kills.

143-yard rushing contest, hit junior halfback Ryne Lehrman (Hoagland) and Monix for scores and then found a hole up the middle and bolted 70 yards for a score during the run. From there, Hanover pieced together a threetouchdown run of its own. However, following two of the scores, extra point attempts went awry. Manchester’s special teams got a block on one, as junior defensive lineman Dan Hunter (Monroeville) batted a kick away, and on another, the Panthers’ attempt went wide right. From that point, it came down to Butler’s heroics on Hanover’s final two possessions. Monix joined Butler in recording a memorable Senior Day with seven catches for 113 yards and the two touchdowns. Place-kicker/punter Kyle Evans (Winamac) also closed his home career with a big game with seven made extra points,

increasing his current string to 13, and a 40.9-yards-per-kick average punting-wise with three downed inside the 20. Defensive back Matt Frieden (Wabash) joined his classmates with eight-and-a-half tackles, including one for a loss, and a pass break-up. Manchester closes its 2012 campaign with a trip to A n d e r s o n University’s Macholtz Stadium Saturday, Nov. 10. Kickoff for the annual Battle for the Bronze Ball Game is 1:30 p.m. Manchester’s fivegame win streak is its longest since 1986. A win at Anderson next weekend guarantees the Black and Gold a winning season for the first time since 1997. Monix goes into his collegiate finale having moved into the top five of career receptions (122). Saturday’s win was the second in the last four years for the Spartans in the alltime series with Hanover.

Don’t be wrong by driving off the road right In Indiana in 2012, there have been 169 reported traffic fatalities in which the primary crash causation factor was a vehicle running off the road to the right. In the seven counties covered by officers from the Indiana State Police Peru Post there have been 580 crashes in which the primary crash causation factor was a vehicle running off the road to the right. Those crashes have resulted 193 injuries and six deaths. The Indiana State Police has identified vehicles running off the road to the right as one of the six crash causation factors that contribute to fatal vehicle crashes in Indiana. The other factors are speeding, following another vehicle too

closely, unsafe lane movement, failure to yield the right of way, and impaired driving. Driving a vehicle off the road to the right increases the probability that a motorist will hit a fixed roadside object and/or experience a rollover crash. Those types of crashes quite often result in injuries or death. The most common reasons for motorists running off the road to the right are driver inattention and distracted driving. In an effort to reduce crashes, troopers would like all drivers to avoid the listed distracting behaviors. While driving do not: - Use telecommunication devices - Change the radio

station or adjust a GPS device - Adjust the interior vehicle controls - Eat, drink, or smoke - Attend to hygienic needs - Talk to passengers Read maps, books, or newspapers - Pick up dropped objects - Operate a vehicle while fatigued or impaired “Our officers are committed to reducing crashes,” stated Lt. Jeremy Kelly, commander of the Indiana State Police Peru Post. “We need all drivers to also be committed by not engaging in any activity that would divert their attention away from the road.”

Indiana Conservation Officer Corporal Erick Bolt is investigating a firearm incident that resulted in an injury on Nov. 2, at approximately 1:30 p.m. Stephen R. White, 70, of North Webster, Ind. was sighting in his 12gauge shotgun using sabot slugs in a field located near 1910 South State Road 5. He was preparing for the upcoming deer firearm season.

Indiana Conservation Officers cite Lagrange teen for multiple deer hunting violations

I n d i a n a Conservation Officer Andrew Harmon is investigating an incident of illegal deer hunting that occurred in Lagrange county on Nov. 3 at approximately 6:30 p.m. in the area of 1100 E and 800 N. Harmon received information from a concerned hunter that had witnessed another hunter shoot a deer with a firearm. The witness saw the illegal hunter shoot the deer, retrieve it, and drag it behind a residence on CR 1100 E. Officer Harmon and Indiana Conservation Officer Patrick Heidenreich went to the residence and spoke with the hunter, who was a 15year-old male. The teen admitted he shot the deer with the muzzleloader, did not fill out a temporary transportation tag, and also shot two antlerless deer during the special youth season and did not deliver those deer to a state deer check station or check the deer in online within 48 hours of time of kill. The teen’s muzzleloader and deer, a very small antlerless deer was seized as evidence. The deer was then donated to the Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry Program. The charges will be forwarded to Lagrange County Juvenile Probation. I n d i a n a Conservation Officer’s would like to remind hunters that the deer firearms season starts Nov. 17 and runs through Dec. 2. Muzzleloader season starts Dec. 8 and runs through Dec. 23, with a Special Antlerless season

this winter when compared to last year’s unseasonably warm temperatures, NIPSCO is focused on keeping gas prices affordable. For 11 consecutive months, the utility has offered the lowest residential gas bills in the state (Source: Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission). During the 20112012 winter heating season, 36,000 NIPSCO customers received assistance from the federal assistance program, compared to roughly 50,000 customers in previous years. “Winter temperatures can be unpredictable in our service area, so helping our customers plan ahead

for any potential bill payment challenges is important,” said Cindy Jackson, manager of residential consumer programs for NIPSCO. “We partner with local agencies across the state, such as Salvation Army chapters, to help customers in need apply for assistance.” The following programs offer assistance to eligible customers on a firstcome, first-served basis: Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) LIHEAP support is available to households falling within 150 percent of federal poverty guidelines, and is fully funded by a federal block grant offered through the U.S. Department of

Health and Human Services (HHS). The level of assistance is based on several factors, including family size, income status and dwelling type. Funds are administered by the Indiana Housing and C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t Authority (IHCDA) through Community Action Agencies with outreach offices in each county. Between Dec. 1 and March 15, natural gas utilities in Indiana do not disconnect service to customers enrolled in LIHEAP who are delinquent on their home heating bills. Eligibility information and a listing of agencies by county can be found at NIPSCO.com/BillingPay ment, and customers

Program For customers just outside the federal poverty guidelines for LIHEAP, the NIPSCO Hardship Program offers up to $200 in gas bill assistance to households between 151-200 percent of the federal poverty level. Hardship funds are available through many of the same local Community Action Agencies where LIHEAP funds are distributed. Township Trustees A limited amount of energy assistance funds are available through local Township Trustee offices. NIPSCO customers are encouraged to contact their local Trustee to see what help is available.

NIPSCO Customer Assistance for Residential Energy (CARE) Discount Program In addition to the assistance available through LIHEAP, the NIPSCO CARE discount program is designed to provide further bill reductions to LIHEAP-eligible customers. Once enrolled in LIHEAP, customers are automatically enrolled in the program, and reductions range from 11 to 26 percent, depending on the same criteria used by the state in determining the level of assistance.

The Honeywell Center in Wabash will be the host to the Jazz Ambassadors of the United States field band the day after Veteran’s Day, Mon., Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. The performance, sponsored by Big R, is free and open to the public. The United States Army Field Band has been performing to audiences of all ages all over the world for more than six decades. As the premier touring musical representative for the United States Army, this inter nationally acclaimed organiza-

tion travels thousands of miles each year presenting a variety of music to enthusiastic audiences throughout the nation and abroad. Through these concerts, the Field Band fosters the support of the American people for members of the armed forces and supports diplomatic efforts around the world. Since its forma-

tion in March 1946, the Field Band has appeared in all fifty states and in more than thirty countries on four continents. The organization’s four performing components, the Concert Band, the Soldiers’ Chorus, the Jazz Ambassadors, and The Volunteers, each travel over 100 days annually. Tours include formal public concerts,

school assemblies, educational outreach programs, festivals, and radio and television appearances. The Jazz Ambassadors are the US Army’s premier touring jazz orchestra and one of the finest jazz ensembles in the world. This 19-member big band, formed in 1969, continues to receive great acclaim both at home and abroad. During their appearance in Wabash, they will present a diverse program of big band swing, Latin music, contemporary jazz, popular tunes, standards, Dixieland, and patriotic selections.

Some say Thanksgiving should be more than just a single day. When you donate blood through the American Red Cross, you can give thanks for a lifetime. “As you reflect on what you are grateful for this holiday season, set aside time to come donate blood,” said Tracy Duncan Fox, spokesperson for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “Your donation can give someone another moment, another day, another holiday to spend with love ones and friends. And that’s something to feel thankful for.” Patients rely on blood from volunteer donors. In fact, patients across the U.S. need more than 44,000 pints of blood each day to treat emergency and ongoing medical conditions. Locally, about 500 blood donations are needed daily for patients in the more than 60 hospitals served by the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the Red Cross. But while the need for blood is constant, the supply of blood sometimes isn’t. Blood donations can dip around the holidays, making it important for donors to make and keep appointments to ensure a strong and stable blood supply for sick and injured people. “If you want to express your gratitude this holiday season and do something meaningful for others, try blood donation,” said Duncan Fox, “Someone, maybe in your very community, will need blood this holiday season and will be thankful for the gift of life you can give.” Come to donate Nov. 19-30 and be entered into a regionwide drawing for a $500 shopping spree!

Wabash Musicale held meeting Oct. 23

Wabash Musicale met Oct. 23, at the home of Marilyn Ford with 23 members present and one guest. “Musicale on Stage” is this year’s theme with the October meeting centering on “On Broadway.” Chairperson, Beth Perkins spoke about Broadway as being the street in New York City that has come to symbolize live theatre entertainment throughout the world. The history of Broadway dates all the way back to the 1700’s. There are only four theaters physically on Broadway, and all the others are located either east or west of the 12-block stretch. Through the decades Broadway shows have developed into expensive stage productions and have captivated audiences from all over the world. Beth introduced Kae Gifford who sang her version of “On Broadway” accompanied by Eileen Dye. This song was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil in collaboration with the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The song was included in the musical revue “Smokey Joe’s Cafe”

which opened on Broadway March 2, 1995. Josie Wade sang “Embraceable You.” This song was written by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It was written in 1928 for an unpublished operetta named “East is West” and was later included in the musical “Girl Crazy.” “Together, Wherever We Go” was sung by quartet members Kae Gifford, Margie Gillespie, Sue Gray and Dorothy Merrick accompanied by Eileen. This was written by Jule Styne with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim for the musical “Gypsy.” This musical birthed many songs that became popular standards. Singing “Through the Eyes of Love” was Josie Wade accompanied by Mrs. Dye. Composer, Marvin Hamlisch wrote this song with Carole Bayer Sager as the Lyricist. Hamlisch’s first Broadway job was as rehearsal accompanist for Funny Girl. He became a well-known composer for Broadway musical theatre. The quartet of Kae

Gifford, Margie Gillespie, Sue Gray and Dorothy Merrick sang the song of “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” accompanied by Eileen. This was written by Mack David, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston all of whom had strong Broadway ties. The song “Cabaret” was presented by Josie Wade and Angie Beauchamp with Eileen accompanying. Music was written John Kander and the lyrics by Fred Ebb. The musical with the same name opened in 1966 and became an instant hit. Concluding the program was the quartet of Kae, Margie, Sue and Dorothy presenting “Bosom Buddies” and accompanied by Eileen. This song was written for the musical “Mame” by Jerry Herman. This musical opened on Broadway in 1966 with Angela Lansbury and Bea Arthur. Upcoming events include: Rehearsals for Christmas program at St. Patrick Church the next 5 Sundays from 4 5:30 p.m. They will be practicing the “Hallelujah Chorus.” There will be a Jazz

Stuttering: Straight Talk for Teachers DVD for Parents and Teachers

When teachers hear a child stutter, the immediate reaction is one of concern mixed with a host of urgent questions: Should I call on the student in class, or will that only make it worse? How should I handle teasing and bullying by other students? What should I do about reading aloud in class? The Stuttering Foundation has produced the DVD, Stuttering: Straight Talk for Teachers. This 20-minute film helps parents and teachers understand how stuttering can affect children of all ages in the classroom and is available at most public libraries. Some libraries have the video version. The highlight of the DVD is the children who discuss their experiences in the classroom and share what was helpful for them. “Even when I knew the answer, I wouldn’t raise my hand because I was worried about what others might think,” says Umberto, a teenager in the DVD. He added that giving a classroom presentation on stuttering to the entire class has made him feel more at ease. “At the beginning of the school year, I was embarrassed to read aloud in front of my teacher and friends because of my stutter(Continued on page 38)

ing,” says Kate. She worked with her teacher to make a plan about how she could practice first at home and then individually with her teacher. Martin offers a different perspective. “I feel confident and even though I might mess up when I talk, I’m not ashamed. I still want the teacher to call on me even though I might be having a bad day.” Noted speech-language pathologists Bill Murphy, M.A., of Purdue University and Kristin Chmela, M.A., of Northwestern University present practical strategies teachers can use immediately to help children feel more comfortable talking in the classroom. “The courage and honesty of the children sharing their experiences helps teachers find solutions for the children in their class,” says Lisa Scott, Ph.D., of The Florida State University and coproducer of the DVD. At school, children who stutter often face bullying and teasing. This treatment by other students sometimes causes more anxiety than does the speech disorder itself. “Even the children who receive therapy to help them speak more flu-

ently continue to have negative feelings as they grow older,” Murphy says. “Their ability to communicate is still hindered by the shame and embarrassment they feel about stuttering, which is often brought on by teasing.” Murphy suggests teachers make stuttering an open topic for discussion in the classroom. One exercise a teacher can use is to discuss famous people who stutter. NBA basketball star Kenyon Martin, news anchor John Stossel, and actors James Earl Jones and Nicholas Brendon are just a few of the many celebrities who struggle with stuttering. A list of famous people who stutter and a downloadable poster can be found at www.stutteringhelp.org . Elementary school teacher Katie Lenell says, “This DVD is an excellent resource for educators at all grade levels. I now feel more at ease having a child who stutters in my classroom.” Books and DVDs produced by the 65-year-old nonprofit Stuttering Foundation are available free to any public library.

Dear editor, Thank you to everyone who supported us during our trip to the State Cross Country Championships in Terre Haute. The encouragement we received from the Wabash Community was incredible. We sincerely appreciate all of the businesses who put up signs wishing us good luck. Thank you very much to Crossroads Bank for the generous donation to help pay for meals for the runners. Thank you to the students and staff at Northfield and Sharp Creek for the fun send off including the pep session in the hallway, the decorations and cheers. We would like to thank all of the wonderful cross country parents and our teammates for the send off dinner, special gifts and encouragement. Running in the state championship meet was truly an unforgettable experience. We are sincerely thankful for our teammates, the parents, our principal Mr. Keffaber, and Southwood and Manchester friends who came to Terre Haute to cheer for us. Thanks for all of your tremendous support. This opportunity would not have been possible without the hard work, time and expertise of our most awesome coaches: Coach Dick Leming, Coach Chad Andrews and Coach Gina Dale. Thank you for believing in us and empowering us to be the best runners we can be. Jenna Halderman and Caleb Augustus
