addition, local, state, and national partners collaborated on the project, resulting in matching gift contributions to students’ savings accounts. The Promise has worked to start the conversation about college with our youngest students, raising expectations and instilling a sense of hope for the future in each child. Prior to the award, Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann commended Wabash County for what is being done, adding that she was moved by the impact on young people and their success. Following the award, Treasurer Richard Mourdock told Kugler that in all his years in politics, this was the first time he had ever nominated anyone for the award. Mourdock added that he was deeply moved at the Walk Into My Future event, reflecting on how many people contributed to its success. “We were honored CLINT KUGLER AND JASON CALLAHAN receive “Sagamore of the Wabash” awards from Indiana as co-founders, and we Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann and Treasurer Richard Mourdock Thursday, Nov 14.

Wabash County Jail remains over-capacity by Ashley Flynn ashley@thepaperofwabash.com Since Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land has been in office, he’s had to deal with an over-capacity jail. But the problem has been around longer than that and could potentially worsen with the revision of the Indiana Criminal Code in House Bill 1006. The jail is 34-years-old this year, and when it was built, it could house 66 inmates. Years later, the jail went under construction, added space, and raisied the number of rooms to 72. Though there are a few rooms with bunk beds, no more than 85 inmates can be accommodated. Limited jail space, however, does not reduce the crime rate or number of arrests, and in Wabash County, the latter exceeds the former. This means that every week, Sheriff Land and his jail commander decide which and how many inmates will be transferred to the Miami County Jail. As of Monday, there were 21 Wabash County inmates being housed in the Miami County Jail, in addition to the 85 housed in the Wabash County Jail. When Land took office in 2011, he paid $26,565 to Miami County for housing our prisoners. Last year in 2012, he spent $116,575. These numbers do not include transportation or personnel costs. “2011 wasn’t really bad for me. In 2012, I saw an increase in prisoner population. So far this year in 2013, we’ve spent $98,175,“ Sheriff Land told The Paper. “I have had two months this year where my average daily population was not over 72. Last year, every month was over capacity for my daily average.” The county also has approximately 44 people on electronic home detention and 12 in the work release program, which helps reduce the inmate population. Many of our inmates are in jail on drug related charges. Two weeks ago, 36 out of 86 (42 percent) were in for drug arrest. Sheriff Land says the numbers are better than 6-7 months ago when it was at 72 percent drug-related arrests. House Bill 1006, which is expected to take effect July 1, 2014, has some worried about prisoner population in local jails. “If you look at that bill, what are now class D Felonies will become misdemeanors, so they will be at the local jails instead of at the Department of Corrections,” Sheriff Land explained. “At least that’s most people’s opinion. We will have to wait and see.” If the jail population does increase, (continued on page 5)

Motorcycle rally raises $6,037 for Shop With a Cop

by Ashley Flynn ashley@thepaperofwabash.com For the past 10 years, Scotty’s Tavern has sponsored a charity motorcycle ride to raise money for Shop With a Cop (SWAC). This year, the event raised $6,037 to donate to the organization that allows children to spend time shopping at WalMart with a local police officer. Mike and Corky Hall, along with their families, have organized the event since its inception, after the former owner of Scotty’s Tavern, Roger Prater, approached the men with the idea. Prater, who passed away in a vehicle accident a few years ago, was looking for a way to give back to his community and chose SWAC to be the recipient. Over the years, the event has grown from just 10 participants raising $750 the first year, to 168 participants this past August raising over $6,000. “It’s a day-long event. Starting at 9 a.m., people sign in and we leave for the ride at noon. Rides

usually last about 4 hours, and then a couple hours of stuff going on when we get back,” Katie Crace, event organizer told The Paper. They serve breakfast before the ride, stop at several locations during the ride, and have activities, games and a pork roast after the ride. They also hand out several awards. The Oldest Rider Award this year went to Richard Simpson, 68. This award is presented in memory of long-time charity ride supporter John Glass, who used to always take the prize of oldest rider. Glass passed away in a motorcycle accident about four years ago. This year’s youngest rider was Carter Dials, 7. Jeremy Lowe and his passenger took the prize for furthest distance, as they traveled 350 miles to participate in the event. People’s Choice, which goes in memory of supporter Ron Pries who passed away from a heart attack, went to Wendell Smith. Scotty’s Pick, in memory of Roger

Prater, was awarded to Mike Hall this year. They also have Poker Hand awards and first and second place awards for each motorcycle class. For the organizers, the event involves the whole family. “It’s huge for our family,” said Crace, who works with her siblings and parents to put on the event. Not only do they organize the charity bike ride, but they also attend Shop With a Cop. “We go out on the day the cops go with the kids and walk around with the officers taking pictures,” Crace said. Crace enjoys the event because it helps a child in need, and it also gives children one-on-one time with an officer. “It helps the kids know police are good guys, let’s them know they can go to a cop and they can trust them,” she said. This year’s SWAC will be Dec. 21. Approximately 100 Wabash County children will receive $100 to buy toys and clothes of their choice. Business contribu-

Deer firearms hunting season opened Nov. 16 The most popular phase of Indiana deer hunting kicked off Nov. 16 with firearms season, and it serves as a reminder to hunters: Follow the rules, practice ethical hunting behavior, and have an enjoyable, safe time in the woods. It’s estimated that at least a quarter-million Hoosiers participate in firearms season, which runs from

Nov. 16 through Dec. 1. Hunters are required to have a valid deer license unless otherwise exempt. Exemptions are listed in the DNR H u n t i n g / T r ap p i n g Guide, available at outdoor retail stores or online at d n r. I N . g o v / f i s h wild/2343.htm Deer licenses can be purchased at IndianaOutdoor.IN.go v, at many DNR-man-

aged properties, and at hundreds of retail outlets across the state. A firearms license allows a hunter to take one antlered deer with a legal firearm. A bonus antlerless license is needed to take antlerless deer during firearms season. Bonus antlerless county quotas are set for each of Indiana’s 92 counties. Archery season,

which began Oct. 1, runs concurrently with firearms season and ends on Jan. 5, 2014. Successful hunters are required to report their harvest within 48 hours, either to a DNR-designated check station or through the CheckIN Game program. CheckINgame.dnr.IN. gov is a free online option, or the call-in option can be used at

Wabash Downtown Holiday Night to Remember awarding $2,000 in prizes by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com Downtown will be full of holiday spirit this weekend as the Wabash Downtown Holiday Night to Remember kicks off its annual festivities. The event will last two days this year, running from 4—8 p.m. Friday and again from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Friday will begin with Holiday Open Houses at 4 p.m. From 6—7 p.m., the courthouse will be lit.

Afterwards, the family can visit with Santa on Market Street with the music of the Madrigal Singers caroling in the background. The Wabash County Historical Museum will offer free kid’s activities all evening. Holiday Open Houses will continue on Saturday. Businesses will receive a stack of maps to pass out on Thursday for guests to pick up. There will be two map categories, youth and adult. The map will

feature places to go downtown during the event. Each merchant will stamp the map once you’ve visited. All locations on the map must be stamped to qualify for a chance to win one of six Downtown Bucks prizes. All maps must be turned in by 3 p.m. Saturday. Downtown Bucks are currency that can be spent anywhere in downtown Wabash. They are two-sided and full color. Be sure not to accept any photocopied versions. The adult map win-

ners will receive prizes of $1,000, $500, $250 or $150 in Downtown Bucks. The two winners of the youth map will receive $50 in Downtown Bucks. New to the Downtown Holiday Night to Remember is the People’s Choice Award. Attendees can vote for the business that is the best decorated, has the best window display and shows the most holiday spirit. The winning business will be presented a trophy by Wabash Marketplace.

1-800-419-1326 for a charge (Visa or MasterCard only). In 2012, hunters reported a record harvest of 136,248 deer, with 55 percent of the total coming during firearms season. The DNR manages about 350,000 acres of public land — state forests, state reservoirs and state fish and wildlife areas — that are available to deer hunters. Hoosier National Forest offers another 202,000 acres. A considerable amount of deer hunting also occurs on private land. Whether hunting on private or public ground, hunters should practice safe hunting habits. Wear hunter orange clothing, identify your target before pulling the trigger, and respect private property. Hunting accidents are extremely rare, but when they do occur, it usually involves falls from elevated hunting

stands. The DNR Division of Law Enforcement records about 30 huntingrelated accidents each year, and about twothirds involve falls from elevated tree stands. When using such a stand, an easy way to avoid injury is to use a full-body safety harness. It can

mean the difference between minor injuries or falling and sustaining serious injuries or even death. “Invest in a quality safety harness,” DNR director Cameron Clark said. “It’s the least expensive life insurance policy you’ll ever buy.”

North Manchester resident, World War II veteran takes Honor Flight to D.C.

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com On Oct. 23, World War II veteran Charles “Dick” Thomas, 88, North Manchester, flew to Washington D.C. with the Honor Flight of Northeast Indiana to visit the nation’s war memorials. His daughter, Linda Anderson, accompanied Thomas, who served the Navy for two years in the South Pacific. Anderson also served our country as a member of the Army. The Honor Flight Network, hosting multiple flights each year, allows World War II veterans to fly to Washington D.C. for free. The October trip was Thomas’ first time in the nation’s capitol. “There was a closeness,” Thomas said of the group. “It was a rejuvenation of patriotism.” Thomas said he was impressed by the Honor Flight system, as well as the memorials. He especially liked the Korean War Memorial, which displays images of the faces of soldiers. “You see the same expression on the faces of young people today coming back from war: confusion, loss, but also hope, like they need some direction.” When the veterans returned, a crowd of more than 300 people greeted them in the hangar, complete with a band welcoming the group home with song. “It gave the veterans a welcome home that they never had,” said Thomas. Thomas has been writing poetry since the 1970s. He’s written many poems in his time, mostly spirituals. More than a month before the flight, he started working on a poem to commemorate his experience in the military and share with those on the trip. “The Honor Flight” was read on the airplane as they flew toward the capitol.

“The Honor Flight” by Charles R. “Dick” Thomas Then was created a heavenly valley, and in the center a mighty tree, in each branch were thousands of leaves, that made up the United States Military. There are thousands of troops on duty, that make up this wonderful tree, its branches shall have no limit, in an effort to keep our country free. Today we are gathered to welcome you, and give tribute for what you went through, to give you the praise and honor, that has been to long overdue. For the many there was no question, to protect as far as the eye might see, They would sacrifice and give their time, to preserve the freedom and liberty. Once you labored in the field of peace, then came a time to lay down the hoe,

for the voice of freedom was calling, your name was called, and you must go, The war clouds soon would gather, as the battle would reach our shore, then the storm would be more threatening, and it seemed for sure we were going to war. When our country was in trouble, when freedom was in jeopardy, most stood up and proudly proclaimed, “Here am I, you may send me.” Today you will bask in the glory, as many friends will gather round, to give you a grateful tribute, and let you know you’re honor bound. There will be singing and some dancing, old friends you are sure to meet, perhaps some hugging and some kissing, as you march down the honor street. Tears of joy are flowing, tears of grief are wiped away, for the past is soon forgotten,

as you celebrate today. When you came home from service, was there an honor parade for you? It seems you are most deserving, for the trials you have been through. So now, stand up, and be at attention, as the flag will pass in revue. Stand up and receive the credit and the honor long overdue. Many served on the front lines, many never made it over sea, but all that served with honor, are entitled to share in the victory. Today you will rise up on wings of eagles, you will fly to heights unknown, where all is peace and comfort, you will sit on the honor throne. One day when this life is over, and its treasures you have found, then comes the honor flight, that lets you know you’re heaven bound. How wonderful the earth would be, if conflicts were no more, no sorrows, no more crying, no more threats of having war.

Wabash County Jail remains over-capacity... continued from front page

Land believes that Miami County Jail can handle it. Their newer facility holds around 240 inmates. “If they run out of room, which I doubt would happen, we would have to explore other options,“ Sheriff Land said, “Paying Miami County is the only option available to me at this time. There are no talks of expanding at this location or at a new facility.” Sheriff land says the insufficient capacity affects everyone in the county. “We’re spending more money on prisoners here because I do have more than what the jail holds. Other than that, it’s the only inconvenience. If our county government is content with paying Miami County, then that’s the way we’ll go,” he said. Currently, the jail offers inmates several programs to help keep them from returning. “We offer them programs, but it’s their choice to make. I

think the programs we provide offer them a chance to look at not coming back. We offer job skills programs and teach them how to fill out applications, there’s parent-

ing programs, GED program and others,“ Sheriff Land said. “We hope that they learn enough from these programs that they do not come back and visit me.”

Although the programs are offered to all inmates, Sheriff Land says there’s still a lot of inmates in jail now that have been there before, and for now, “we’ve got what

we’ve got, and we’ll make it work.”

Dear editor, This year, Wabash Middle School Student Council held the annual canned food drive on Oct. 28 through Nov. 1. We started out on a Monday with Meat Monday, which includes any canned meat or fish. Then we had Triple Veggie Tuesday, Pasta Wednesday, Soup Thursday and Fruity

Friday. Every day had featured food to extra point-per-can values, and it gave the students inspiration for what to bring in that day. After every day of the week, some student council members collected the cans from each class and calculated the point totals while sorting all of the cans.

This year, the school gathered an astonishing number of food items, over 1,500, donate to F.I.S.H. This turned to be a very competitive and friendly competition that our students look forward to every year. Olivia Hipskind Student Council Secretary

Upland man loses life in Miami County crash The Indiana State Police responded to and is currently investigating a twovehicle crash that claimed the life of a 33 year old man from Upland on State Road 18, just west of Converse.

Cathy’s Natural Market to open Nov. 23 The 1,700 square foot storefront, located at 1315 North Cass Street in Wabash, is planning a Grand Opening celebration for Saturday, Nov. 23, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The store is owned and operated by long-time North Manchester resident Cathy Price. Cathy’s Natural Market will be a “onestop shop for healthminded consumers,” according to Price. The store will carry organic produce, specialty food items for gluten-free, wheatfree, dairy-free and vegan diets, and nongenetically-modified food, as well as natural vitamins and nutritional supplements. The market will also carry local farmfresh organic meat and produce, natural baked goods for special dietary needs, and gourmet cheeses, along with soaps, creams and various toiletry items made with all-natural ingredients. Cathy and her husband, Rick, are both on strict diets due to allergies and sensitivities to a variety of foods. They altered their diets in 2009 after Rick began experiencing digestive problems, lost weight, and was diagnosed

with celiac disease. Celiac disease is a digestive and autoimmune disorder that requires a gluten-free diet in order to manage its potentially debilitating symptoms that can lead to malnourishment. To ensure her husband was eating properly and help him to manage his disease, Cathy began buying gluten-free products and studying holistic nutrition. She later had herself tested and discovered that she is sensitive to wheat and diary products. After altering their diets, the Prices’ health issues were minimized and they began feeling more energetic, according to Cathy. The only problem they ran into was the short supply of specialized and natural food products available in Wabash County. The Prices hope to solve this dilemma with the opening of Cathy’s Natural Market, which will have two part-time employees assisting Cathy as she runs the store full-time. In addition to selling natural products, Cathy hopes to eventually use some of the store building’s open space to offer educational classes to help individuals learn how

Butler recaps Veterans Day for American Legion Auxiliary Unit #402 Dear editor, The American Legion Auxiliary Unit #402 presented a Veteran’s Day program to students of M a n c h e s t e r Intermediate School. Unit #402 Veteran Affairs Chairman, Thelma Butler, following the pledge to the flag, explained the meaning of the words of the pledge and told of the National Holiday first proclaimed in 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson and called Armistice Day

to commemorate the signing of the Armistice Treaty ending WWI. It was 35 years later on May 26, 1954 when President Dwight Eisenhower changed Armistice to ‘Veterans Day’ to honor all veterans. She stated there are 22 million veterans living in the US today, 10 percent are women, 1,500 are amputees, more than 365,000 are 100 percent disabled and far too many are without a place to call home and without a job. Veterans speaking of their experience, branch and war era were: Jack Horoho, WWII; Dorlan

Wagner, WWII; Larry Farmer and Ron Bonewitz, Vietnam. Charles Signs, Korean Conflict veteran, spoke on the service of two granddaughters and a grandson. Emily completed basic training at Great Lakes Training Center in Illinois and qualified for naval nuclear power training in Florida. She spent 11 years in active duty, two of which were spent on the USS Carl Vinson Carrier (an 1,800 crew ship) around the world. A younger sister, Amanda, joined the navy out of high school and qualified for naval intelligence

school. She served on the USS Iwo Jima and the USS Boxer. Today, she teaches Naval Intelligence in San Diego. Their brother, Randy, is on active duty on the USS Spruance, a destroyer battleship. Mr. Signs closed his remarks with urging the young people to stay in school and graduate. Learning is a lifetime need and at the age of 82, he is still learning. Linda Torpy, Unit Americanism chairman, led the students in closing the program with “God Bless America.” Also, the American Legion Auxiliary hosted a dinner at the Post

Home serving approximately 45 veterans and a few spouses. Tables were decorated with colorful flyers stating, “American Legion Auxiliary, Angels Caring for out Veterans,” with angels and veteranmade poppies. Vietnam veteran Larry Dockter on the keyboard provided music. Each veteran received a colorful “Thank you for your service” note with a special hand-written expression of their appreciation and thanks by students of M a n c h e s t e r University. Thelma Butler

Lady Norse open with win over Oak Hill

by Gary Andrews For three quarters Saturday the Northfield Lady Norse basketball team dominated Oak Hill, leading by 19 points after three quarters, before running into major foul trouble and having to hang on for a 63-59 win to open their season. Payton Thomson got the scoring started with a free throw, followed by a Katie Stephan three and Northfield led 4-0. The Norse would build their lead to 9-4 with a bucket from Arie Kennedy and a Thomson three, before the Eagles got it back to 10-8. Sidney Reed would then hit two free throws that were answered by an Oak Hill bucket to make it 12-11, before buckets from Kylie Echard and Stephan gave Northfield a 1611 lead after one. Northfield would increase their lead to start the second quar-

ter with two Reed free throws and a three pointer from Cherish Leming to go up 21-12. Oak Hill would chip away at the free throw line, hitting four in a row to close the gap to 23-18 before Thomson would connect from behind the arch again. Kylie Echard would sandwich a bucket between two Cherish Leming buckets as the Norse built their lead to 32-18. Three more Eagle free throws made it 32-23 at the half. Payton Thomson would drain her third three of the game to start the third quarter, but again, Oak Hill free throws kept them close, and it was 38-27 when the Norse would get on a roll. Getting in to some foul trouble, the Norse would go to their bench, with Abby Keaffaber coming up big. Keaffaber would connect on a three pointer, which would be just one of

three she hit in the quarter, as the Norse built their lead to 5334 by the end of the quarter. Oak Hill would start the scoring in the fourth with three straight free throws that Arie Kennedy answered. Kennedy was fouled on a three point shot, hitting all three free throws to make it 55-40. During the next three minutes, the Norse foul trouble would begin to haunt them, four players having four fouls with 3:16 to play. During that span, Oak Hill would connect on six free throws to close the gap to 60-50 with 2:07 left. With Northfield continuing to foul, Oak Hill would hit three more free throws and it was 60-54 with 1:01 remaining as the Norse had five players with four fouls. The Eagles would cut the lead to 60-56 and foul with Katie Stephan hitting one of two free

throws to make it 6156. Oak Hill would then turn the ball over, fouling Thomson with 33.7 left, with Payton hitting one to make it 6256. Oak Hill would hit to make it 62-58, when Arie Kennedy was called for her fifth, with the Eagles making one to make it 6259. Again Oak Hill would foul Katie Stephan, with Stephan hitting one to make it 63-59 as the Norse would escape with the win. The Norse used a balanced scoring attack led by Payton Thomson and Cherish Leming with 11 points each. Kylie Echard, Katie Stephan and Abby Keaffaber had 9 points each. Arie Kennedy added 8 and Sidney Reed 6. The junior varsity fell to Oak Hill 32-18. Abby Keaffaber led with 6 points. Jacklyn Peas added 5, Jordan Bratch 4, Maddy Dale 2, Sarah Driscoll 1.

Lady Apaches go 2-0 over the weekend by Gary Andrews The Apaches went on the road Friday to Gas City to open their 2013-14 season against Mississinewa and with a balanced offense cruised past the host Indians 52-28. The Apaches would win every quarter, leading 10-9 after one and 27-17 at the half. The Lady Apaches would go on to out score Mississinewa 25-11 in the second half for the 52-28 win. Leading the way for Wabash was Claire Cromer with 16 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals, 4 assist. Kyleigh Hampton added 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 steals, 3 assist. Sarah Puckett had 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block, and 3 assists. Lyndsie Thomas had 8 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, and 2 assists. Jaclyn Lewis had 2 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 assists.

behind 11-2 after a 0 for 8 shooting start and not getting a rebound the first five minutes, to battle back and defeat Marion 46-40 and move to 2-0 for the season. After falling behind 11-2 Lyndsie Thomas would get the Lady Apaches first bucket with 1:45 left in the first quarter, followed by a Kyleigh Hampton three as Wabash battled back to trail just 11-10 after one. The Apaches would continue their run to start the second quarter, making it a 13-3 run to knot the score at 15 and led at the half 21-20. Claire Cromer would give Wabash a 26-20 lead early in the third quarter with a three pointer, which would be their largest lead of the game other than the final score. Wabash led 3330 after three. Kyleigh Hampton and Sarah Pucket would hit in the fourth to keep the lead at six before the Giants made one final push, closing the gap to 42-40 with a minute

and a half to play. Lyndsie Thomas would then hit a big bucket for Wabash to make it 44-40 as the Lady Apaches held on for the 46-40 comeback win. Leading the way for Wabash was Kyleigh Hampton with 18 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 steals. Claire Cromer added 12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, 3 assists. Sarah Puckett had 6 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist. Jaclyn Lewis had 4 points, 2 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 assists. Lyndsie Thomas had 4 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Youthful Lady Squires edged out in season opener

by Gary Andrews The Manchester Lady Squires, playing with a ton of youth was edged by Bluffton 27-24 Friday. The youthful Squires, starting four freshmen and missing key returner Tabby DeWitt, held their ground in the fast

paced, turn-overplagued opener. The Squires could muster just two points in the first quarter, which was on a bucket from Cierra Carter just two minutes in to the game and trailed 6-2 after one. Senior Kiana

Gillum would connect for the lone bucket in the second quarter as each team scored just once for an 8-4 halftime score. Things would pick up a little in the third quarter. After falling behind 11-4 and missing several key free throws, Carter would

rebound her own missed free throw and get fouled, connecting on one to make it 11-5. Bluffton would build the lead to 14-7 when freshman Drew Thompson would connect twice, one a three pointer, to cut the margin to 17-12. Another freshman,

Ellie Milam, would hit and was followed by two free throws from senior Sydney Snep, and it was 17-16. Bluffton and Snep would trade free throws to end the quarter as the Squires trailed 19-18. After a Bluffton free throw got the final

quarter started, Carter would convert an offensive rebound, and the game was tied at 20. The Tigers would then go on a 5-0 run to build a 25-20 lead before Carter connected to make it 25-22. The last couple minutes were foul and be fouled, as Bluffton

hit two free throws down the stretch to hold Manchester off 27-24. Leading the Squires in scoring was Cierra Carter with 9. Sydney Snep added 6, Drew Thompson 5, Kiana Gillum 2, Ellie Milam 2.

Manchester University cross-country team headed to nationals

By Gary Andrews Bolstered by four all-region efforts, M a n c h e s t e r University, ranked No. 4 on the current United States Track and Field and Cross

Country Coaches Association Division III Great Lakes regional poll, battled through a strong field at the 2013 NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional meet

Saturday, Nov. 16. The Spartans finished with 109 points, good for third place in the 39-team field gathered at Calvin College’s Gainey Athletic Fields.

All-County Football Team Selections Announced

Senior Curtis Nordmann, fresh off the individual Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship, placed fifth, while seniors Michael Stocker (Yorktown), Jon Cafarelli (Lansing, Ill.) and Chris LaFree (South Bend) joined the Black and Gold’s all-region list with 10th, 21st and 30thplace marks.

With Nordmann earning an automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Division III Championships, the Spartans hoped for more with the national committee meeting to complete the 32team field. They were rewarded with an atlarge spot. “This is awesome,” Cashdollar said. “We’re going to go and race to the best of

our ability at nationals. It’s all you can ask for at this time of year.” “The guys raced as close to the spots as our coaching staff figured (at regionals),” Cashdollar said. “[Meet champion and host] Calvin and [runner-up] Wabash really put in strong races, too, though. We came away with the most all-region honorees in

a single season and our lowest point total at regionals. It was a good day.” MU competes in its third successive and fourth NCAA Division III national meet in the last five seasons on Saturday, Nov. 23. Fellow Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference member Hanover College is the meet ‘s host.

Boscoe France looks forward to return to Eagles Theatre The Boscoe France Band, featuring Guitar Center’s 2012 Battle of the Blues winner, is returning to Wabash for the final show in the three-part series Thursday Night Blues: Live At The Eagles Theatre. The show will start at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21 at the historic venue. Boscoe France, the band’s namesake and lead guitarist, started playing guitar when he was three years old and has known he wanted to be a guitarist since he was in kindergarten. He lived in Nashville for a while and spent a lot of time playing backup guitar for “everybody who was any kind of country act.”

He also worked setting up and running stage lights for acts out of Nashville, as they toured the country. He eventually left the touring life and moved to Madisonville Ky. where he now raises his son, 9, and daughter, 4. During most weeks, France is home from Monday to Thursday with his kids, touring on weekends. He raises his kids 12 feet from where he grew up, on the same block as most of the rest of his family. “I was going to school and taking care of my kids, and I got a job in a coal mine,” said France. “It was a big change

• BROCHURES • FLYERS • BUSINESS CARDS • LETTERHEADS • INSERTS • ENVELOPES • NEWSLETTERS • INVITATIONS

from being 150 feet up on a lighting rig to being six inches from hell. I finally decided I didn’t want anything to fall on me and kill me, so I got out of there and started playing at clubs. I just decided that’s what I was going to do, and I was doing good for me.” The music world, however, had bigger things in mind for the Kentucky native. France rose to national attention when he beat out more than 4,000 guitarists throughout the U.S. to be named Guitar Center’s 2012 Battle of the Blues winner. Since the contest, France’s life has changed quite a bit. His guitar collection

went from one to over 20. The President of Gibson Guitars invited him to the Gibson Custom Shop for his birthday and told him to pick out any guitar he wanted. He picked a 1959 Les Paul. “I got a little bread and took the kids to Disney World and bought my house,” said France. Winning the contest has brought many new things into France’s life, but nothing could possibly compare to when B.B. King asked him to open a show at the Victory Theatre in Evansville, the night before King played at the Honeywell Center this past year. “At home I’ve got two pictures on my

wall. One is of Jesus, and one is of B.B. King, and that’s the truth,” said France, “and Jesus is on top, but B.B., he’s close.” France recalled that during the performance, he was motioned onto the stage and two very large men (King’s bodyguards) stepped in front of him. “They said ‘don’t you take one more step young man’ and basically said they would beat me up,” said France. “And then B.B.’s son came over and smacked one of them on the head and said ‘you let him walk out there, daddy said!” In addition to France, the Boscoe France Band includes John Gillespie on bass and Jimmy Cummings on drums. The November show marks the Boscoe France Band’s return to Eagles Theater, where the trio first played on March 21. “We made a lot of friends up there,” said France of his experience in Wabash. “I really liked playing up there. It’s a beautiful theatre. Everybody up there was super nice. Afterward we shot pool at a club and then everybody went back to the hotel and we played music and just jammed for a little bit. I really dug it.” France loves talking to people and learning about people. Even with this success, France is one

of the most humble musicians you may ever have the chance to meet. “There’s some kid playing in his room that’s better than me, and some guy pumping gas that could take the wind out of me on guitar,” said France. “I thought I’d be playing at Moose Lodges. It’s been a blessing.” The show is sure to be loud and exciting. The three piece band will spend two hours smashing drums, walking the bass strings and ripping guitar solos, only stopping for a minute at a time to tell the audience a little bit about themselves. “If you don’t like guitar, we’re not the band to come see,” said France. “I’m like guitar with ADD. I’m obnoxious with it. I know I am.” The band will play for the Thursday Night Blues series, but they walk a fine line between blues, rock and roll, and “real country,” as France calls it, which in his mind are all really the same thing. Even if you don’t like blues, you might like these guys. “You can expect three people to get up and play music with no synthesizers and no loop pedals or delay petals and no backing tracks,” said France. It’s just the three of us playing music.” France encourages fans and music enthu-

siasts to stick around and talk after the show. “If I paid $12 dollars to go see a nobody perform, I’d want to talk to him and ask, ‘why is a nobody like you worth paying $12 to come and see?’” France joked. Anyone who saw the Boscoe France Band the last time they were in town would tell you that the show is well worth the money. France also hopes to get in another round of pool at the same spot he stopped at last time he was here. “They have a little bit of my self respect and dignity, so I hope I can pick that up while I’m there,” said France. France says the band is looking forward to making the trip to Wabash “It was one of our first bigger gigs,” said France. That’s huge to me that Wabash would allow us to come up and close out the blues series. Not only does it help pay the light bill, but it helps us grow and move up the food chain. This is the next big thing for us.” Tickets may be purchased at the box office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday—Friday by calling 260-563-1102 or visiting www.honeywellcenter.org.

Indiana private schools honor firstgeneration student Martin Garcia, who’s “Realizing the Dream” Martin Garcia wants to become a doctor. “My dream is to go into an M.D. and a Ph.D. program and become a medical doctor and do research as well,” said the gregarious sophomore chemistry major from La Porte. “Manchester University is the place where I started my journey.” Garcia is the first in his family to attend college. He is a recipient of financial support and mentoring specially tailored to make higher education affordable. Garcia caught the attention of I n d e p e n d e n t Colleges of Indiana, which is celebrating Martin and 30 other

first-generation high achievers who are “Realizing the Dream.” With his and his family’s commitment and hard work, Garcia truly is realizing his dream – and he’s only a sophomore. Last summer, Garcia earned an undergraduate research fellowship to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Boise State University. He then got to present his research to the Idaho Idea Network of Biomedical Research Excellence. This January, he will travel deep into Nicaragua with MU alumni health professionals on an annual medical practicum. Not only

will he have the opportunity to work with patients, he will help as an interpreter, using his MU Spanish minor. “I would never have imagined I would be doing this,” said Garcia. “My experiences at Manchester have shown me what I want to do with my life. I want to be a scientist.” Sharing the celebration spotlight is Garcia’s very proud high school chemistry teacher, who influenced him to pursue his dreams. “My experiences educating and watching Martin grow and mature over the past several years have been so rewarding, encouraging and uplifting,

that it reaffirms why I became an educator,” says John Sherrick, teacher at La Porte High School. “Without a doubt, I expect Martin to continue to exhibit these tremendous qualities and attributes throughout the remainder of his college career and beyond.” Garcia is on the Dean’s List at Manchester, is a member of several honor societies and is active in science pre-professional and multicultural organizations. Giving back is a big part of his life, both through Volunteer Services on campus, and as a blood donor, chemistry tutor and pharmacy volunteer for

Wabash Laketon Lions donate dictionaries to third graders Carnegie Public Library holds computer class

The goal of the Dictionary Project sponsored by the Laketon Lions Club is to provide all third grade students with the Webster’s Dictionary & Thesaurus—a Complete Language Resource for Students. These are being presented to approximately 128 third grade students at the Manchester Elementary School. This little dictionary contains more than 19,000 words that represent the very core of the language. It is intended to serve as a quick reference for spelling, hyphenation and the meaning of the words in everyday use. In addition, it contains a thesaurus, which is a convenient, concise guide for the understanding and selection of synonyms and antonyms. The Dictionary Project was founded in 1995 in Savannah, Ga. Fifteen years and 12.5 million dictionaries later, groups such as service clubs and individuals have given the gift of a dictionary with the belief that students will benefit from this contribution to their academic success.

The Wabash Carnegie Public Library held an Internet and Computer Basics class on Thursday, Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. Eight students utilized the library’s new laptops as they learned how to open and save files, create Word documents, and search for information using the Internet. The class, taught by staff members Polly Howell and Laura Beutler, was a part of the library’s ongoing LSTA grant, which also provided the eight laptops for the library. The grant, entitled “Mobile Laptop Labs for Technology Training” is made possible by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services and is administered by the Indiana State Library.

The library is excited to offer more classes in January, covering a variety of topics including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Power Point. For additional information about the library’s computer classes or the LSTA grant, contact the library at 260-5632972 or visit WCPL online at www.wabash.lib.in.u s.

each student’s chosen “most influential” high school teacher/mentor receives $1,000. “Realizing the Dream” is supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. Out of the 31 private campuses of the I n d e p e n d e n t Colleges of Indiana,

one out of three students is a first-generation college student. Generous financial aid provided by the campuses themselves, combined with state and federal grants, makes a private college education a possibility for all students in Indiana.

Herb Scott accepted the award. The keynote speaker for the evening was Alex Valdez, who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see. He may be blind, but he also canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see obstacles stopping him from laughing his way into the hearts of people so they can be inspired to go beyond their perceived fears and limitations. Alex is a real pioneer having been the first comedian with a disability to gain national recognition as the winner of the first Norman Lear C o m e d y Competition. He has won the hearts and admiration of his audiences of all ages and today he is recognized as one of the best and entertaining disability awareness speakers and trainers. Alexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not only to help audiences accept his own and othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disabilities, but to recognize that while we may all appear very different on the outside, on the inside we are all very much the sameâ&#x20AC;?. His message combined life experiences and years of diversity and disability training. Alexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words were entertaining as well as inspiring. P a t h f i n d e r Services, Inc. is a not-for-profit human services organization based in Huntington, where it was founded in 1966.

Weekend storms batter Wabash County

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com Storms ripped through the Midwest on Nov. 17, causing severe damage across most of Indiana. Parts of Peoria, Ill. were leveled. Clermont, Butler and Hamilton counties in Ohio were hit hard, as

County reached 69 miles per hour. These storms caused over 57,000 power outages across Indiana. The outage numbers are thankfully dropping, as Duke Energy and NIPSCO work to restore power to their many consumers. According to Duke Energy’s website,

were Kenton and Campbell County in Kentucky. Indiana’s hardest hit counties included Howard, T i p p e c a n o e , Bartholomew, Vigo, Clinton, Fountain, Tipton, Henry, Cass, Monroe, Hendricks, Carroll, Greene, Vermillion, Hancock, Brown and Wabash. Winds in Wabash

A TREE BLOCKS MILL CREEK PIKE Sunday afternoon following the storm, as a rainbow appears in the sky. The tree brought down the power line and became electrified, delaying cleanup. As of Monday morning, Mill Creek Pike was still closed. (photo by Eric Stearley) HIGH WINDS SHREDDED A HOG HOUSE owned by Dale Farms on the north side of 500 North. Recorded at nearly 70 mph in Wabash County, the dangerous wind gusts took the roof off of two 2/3 of the building, brought down many of the walls, and hoisted feed augers into nearby trees. Luckily, the hog house was empty at the time of the storm. As it was the southernmost building on the property, it shielded the rest of the buildings on the property, all of which were occupied by livestock. (photo by Eric Stearley)

“some customers may be without power longer because they live in areas that are temporarily inaccessible due to fallen trees or areas where safety is a concern.” As of Monday, Wabash County had two streets still closed: Mill Creek Pike and 900 N east of SR13. The quickest way to report a power outage

if you are a Duke Energy customer is by calling 1-800-3453525. Governor Pence went to tour the storm damage on Monday, Nov. 18. His tour took him through Kokomo, L o g a n s p o r t , Lafayette, and Washington. His first stop was the Kokomo Delco Plant, where Mayor Greg

Goodnight, U.S. Representative Todd Rokita and Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann joined him. He also visited the fire station on U.S. 31 and Boulevard Road before heading to Logansport Airport to be joined by Mayor Ted Franklin. Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski joined Governor Pence at the National Guard

Armory and Vo e s t a l p i n e. Governor Pence’s last stop took him to Bethany Christian Church in Washington, where he met with Mayor Joe Wellman and Congressman Larry Buschon. Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann will also tour damage in Lebanon and Marion.

MIAMI COUNTY RESIDENT JAY COOK should have picked a better parking spot. Sunday’s storms brought winds howling at over 80 mph throughout the state knocking down billboards, trees and about anything else that stood in its way. This tree branch came crashing straight down through the windshield of Cook’s car, which was parked outside her sister’s house at the time. Emergency crews used a cherry picker to remove the limb.

A SECOND HOG HOUSE OWNED BY DALE FARMS was all but destroyed as the walls collapsed, causing the roof to fall. This hog house was emptied and the roof removed as part of a remodeling project to improve the facility prior to the storm.

eric@thepaperofwabash.com Seats were hard to come by Thursday night as Reno Collier, known for his work with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and the Comedy Central Roast of Larry the Cable Guy, came to town. The comedian’s brutally honest, sometimes crude, and slightly redneck show had the lively audience erupting in laughter almost constantly. A former schoolteacher, Collier got his start at an open microphone night hosted by the watering hole at which he bartended part time. According to him, it did not go well…at all. But he persisted, eventually landing regular gig opening for Larry The Cable Guy at shows across the country.

Collier rates his performance as PG-13, but it’s not a show most Wabash County residents would want to take their junior high school student to see. His comedic and colorful anecdotes about life in the south, raising children, marriage, and sex, left no question as to the comedy series’ target audience. His association with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour should have been any audience member’s first clue. The same could be said of the cash bar in the theatre foyer. With that said, it didn’t appear that anyone who made it to the event minded. During his performance, Collier plays the role of a not-so-smart hillbilly from West Virginia, and though parts of that are true, the discerning eye can

RENO COLLIER PERFORMS AT EAGLES THEATRE Thursday, Nov. 14. Complete with hilarious faces, hand gestures, and brief mock dancing, Collier’s performance kept the crowd laughing all night. (photo by Eric Stearley) see his true brilliance shine through the simple-minded façade. Collier left the audience with a sense of familiarity; it was a

feeling that Collier were to move to town, he would fit right in. For many, it was the perfect way to close out the comedy series.

Look for the Thursday Night Comedy series to return to the Eagles Theatre sometime early next year.

Manchester theatre director offers a free helping of humbug M a n c h e s t e r University is offering a unique way to kick off the holiday season. On Thursday, Nov. 21, MU Theatre Director Joel Froomkin offers a one-man version of A Christmas Carol as a gift to the campus and community. Froomkin’s performance is an unforgettable tour de force, taking storytelling to a whole new level. He’ll use the same version of the story that Charles Dickens performed for his lec-

ture tours. “Although there have been countless adaptations of the story, nothing compares to Dickens’ original narrative. People are surprised by the level of wit and humor throughout the story.” The show begins at 7 p.m. on Nov. 21 in Wine Recital Hall on the North Manchester campus. Reservations are not necessary. The tale allows Froomkin to use his skill as a dialectician. “I grew up in Bermuda, a British

colony, and my high school teachers were from all over the British Isles. Without knowing it, I developed this ear for all these different sounds.” He taught dialects and accents at New York University and frequently was called upon to coach celebrities and Broadway performers. For A Christmas Carol, Froomkin switches effortlessly among 18 characters, including Marley’s Ghost, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and, of course, Scrooge. A free-will offering will be accepted at the door to support future M a n c h e s t e r University theatre productions. “We invested a lot of our budget making valu-

able improvements to our performance space,” said Froomkin. “A Christmas Carol is a wonderful way to connect with the community, develop our audience and maybe raise a little money for our next production.” The one-man show might get a little creepy in places for children under seven, Froomkin advises. “But young people love it. They get really engaged by the different voices … and their grandparents always say it reminds them of the old Orson Wellesstyle radio theatre.” The show runs about an hour and 45 minutes.

Daughters of the Revolution, Frances Slocum Chapter holds monthly meeting

The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on Nov. 12 in the Blocher Room, North Manchester Public Library. New prospective members present were Vicki Fillip and Lois Smock. Joyce Joy read the November President Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message from Lynn Forney Young The Frances Slocum Chapter will be holding a free Genealogy Workshop on Nov. 23 at 9:15 a.m. in the Blocher Room of the North Manchester Public Library. Come find resources and methods of tracking family history, and explore your own connections to the American Revolution. Any woman over 18 years of age, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, is eligible for membership in the DAR. Volunteers will provide guidance and assistance with the first steps into the world of genealogy. Charlotte Blair, State Registrar of DAR, gave the program on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Revolutionary Sites of Indiana.â&#x20AC;? There were four documented battles that occurred during the American Revolutionary War period. The Siege of Fort Vincennes (also known as the Siege of Fort Sackville), took place in February 1779, near present-day Vincennes, between a militia force lead by Col. George Rogers Clark and a British force lead by Governor Henry Hamilton. On Feb. 23, an army of patriot militants surrounded the British occupied fort of Vincennes, where some 90 soldiers were stationed. The Patriots, outnumbered at the time, tricked the British and their Indian allies by dividing their army in groups of 10, to create the impression that they had an army of 1,000. In response to this, the Indians retreated leaving the British army to defend themselves. After three days of intense fighting the British defenders finally surrendered the fort to the Patriots; amazingly, Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s army was said to have taken the

fort without losing a single soldier. After the Patriots won the battle, the British army in the Illinois territory was completely defeated and many Native Americans stopped raiding American settlements in Kentucky in response to the British absence. Battle of Petit Fort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Petit Fort was a structure located in northwestern Indiana, in or near the Indiana Dunes, near the mouth of Fort Creek. It may have been a French military outpost, but was more likely a private residence, trading post, or at most a support station for larger forts in the area. A small band of Creoles from Cahokia, Ill. and recruited frontier settlers raided the Fort St. Joseph while local Indians were away hunting. British Lt. Quindre and Potawatomi under Chief Anaquiba and his son, Topeneble and loyalist traders overtook them at the sandy dunes South of Lake Michigan. A race ensued for miles through the dunes, until the raiders took up defensive positions at Petit Fort. On Dec. 5, 1780 most of the raiders were either killed or taken prisoner. Augustin de La Balme Defeat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With recommendation from Benjamin Franklin,

Augustin de La Balme, former French Calvary officer, came to America to assist in the American Revolution. In November 1780, allegedly under secret orders from General George Washington, Colonel Balme, and a body of 104 men from Kaskaskia and Vincennes, raided the British stores at Kekionga (present day Fort Wayne). Leaving a detachment to guard the captured stores, his forces marched out over the Eel River trail, the same path Colonel John Hardin followed ten years later. The Miami Indians, literally up in arms about this intrusion, destroyed the detachment left at Kekionga and attacked La Balme near the Eel River Trading Post. There his force was surrounded by a large

body of warriors led by Chief Little Turtle. La Balme and his men fortified themselves on the banks of the Eel River just north of this location. In November 1780, after several days of conflict, they were defeated by an overwhelming force. The remains of Colonel de La Balme and approximately forty militiamen forever belong to the Eel River. For his leadership in the battle, Little Turtle gained a reputation that initiated a successful career as a war chief. Lochryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Defeat or Massacre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A battle fought on Aug. 24, 1781, near present-day Aurora. The battle was short and decisive; about one hundred Indians under Joseph Brant, a Mohawk war leader who was temporarily in the west,

ambushed about an equal number of Pennsylvania Militiamen lead by Archibald Lochry. Brant and his men killed or captured all of the Pennsylvanians without suffering any casualties. Lochryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s force was part of an army being raised by George Rogers Clark for a campaign against Detroit, the British regional headquarters. The next regular meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Jan. 14, 2014 at the Grandstaff Hentgen Activity Room. The Wabash County Purdue Extension Office will present the program.

Caviar fishermen cited for multiple offenses on Wabash River Law enforcement officers from Indiana and Illinois have increased their enforcement efforts of domestic caviar regulations since the onset of the 2012-13 Wabash River shovelnose sturgeon season. Conservation Officers from both Indiana and Illinois have recently stepped up their patrols in the commercial fishing industry, particularly

21280

in the commercial harvest of shovelnose sturgeon, which is a fish that is sought after for its roe (eggs). Thirteen people from both Indiana and Illinois have been arrested, cited, or warned for commercial fishing violations in the last year. Equipment seizures include 35 commercial fishing nets, three trot lines, 2 wire fish traps, and one boat/motor. Violations include: •Unlawful use of a gill net (6 counts) •Failure to tag commercial fishing equipment (7 counts) •Unlawful use of leads on commercial device (2 counts) •Unlawful possession of sturgeon under 25” (4 counts) •Fishing with an illegal device (wire trap) (2 counts) •Fishing without a

license (3 counts) •Checking sturgeon for presence of eggs with an illegal device (2 counts) A combined effort between Indiana Conservation Officers and Illinois Conservation Police took place as a result of a number of citizen complaints along the boundary waters of the Wabash River, where shovelnose sturgeon are found. These investigations involved assets from both states, and included river patrols, intelligence gathering and surveillance. “Since we share the fishery’s resources with the people of the State of Illinois, it only makes sense to ensure that our regulations and enforcement efforts remain similar,” says Master Officer Steve Kinne, a commercial fishing

investigator for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. “At least 25 additional violations are being investigated for prosecution, involving several other individuals from both states.” The shovelnose sturgeon is a fish that is native to the waters of the Mississippi, Illinois, and Wabash Rivers. Although some sport fishermen consume the meat from shovelnose sturgeon, it is the eggs that have been targeted by commercial fishermen in recent years, due to the collapse of the European sturgeon market. Supplies of roe collected from sturgeon in the Caspian Sea plummeted after government deregulation in that region. Female shovelnose sturgeons living in (continued on page 39)

Caviar fishermen cited for multiple offenses on Wabash River... continued from page 38 the Wabash River migrate upstream annually to spawn and lay their eggs. These eggs, referred to as roe, are eventually sold, processed, and distributed as caviar. Processed shovelnose sturgeon roe (eggs), commonly referred to as hackleback caviar, has a retail market value of approximately $320 per pound. One adult roe-bearing sturgeon can contain as much as one pound of eggs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wabash River population of shovelnose sturgeon is one of the last commercially exploited sturgeon populations in the world. Therefore, strict enforcement is necessary to ensure proper management, while allowing a sustainable harvest,â&#x20AC;?

says Craig Jansen, Big Rivers Assistant Fisheries Biologist of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Commercial fishermen in both states are allowed to take shovelnose sturgeon with approved commercial fishing devices on the Wabash River, as long as they possess the required licenses. Illinois roe harvesters are required to have an Illinois commercial fishing license, an Illinois roe harvester license, and a sportfishing license. Indiana roe harvesters fishing on the Wabash River are required to have an Indiana commercial fishing license and an Indiana roe harvester license. Approved commercial fishing

devices in either state include, but are not limited to, hoop nets, fyke nets, basket nets, basket traps, and trap nets made of twine or cord. Gill nets are prohibited in both states for taking sturgeon. For additional information on commercial fishing regulations and season dates, go to www.in.gov/dnr or www.dnr.state.il.us.

MJSHS After Prom Reps ask for support Dear supporters of our youth, The Manchester Junior-Senior High School Prom will be held on May 3, 2014, at M a n c h e s t e r University. We have been very fortunate that for many years businesses, service clubs, parents and faculty have joined together to provide an After Prom event for

our youth. After Prom provides a safe and fun alternative for students after the Prom, and is open free of charge to MJSHS juniors and seniors. The After Prom event will be held at MJSHS from 12-2:30 a.m. After Prom features activities, games, music, snacks and door prizes as our traditional enticements

and entertainments encouraging students to “wind down” after from in a supervised atmosphere filled with fun and friends. Typically, 200 (more than 90 percent) students who attended prom also came to the After Prom, so the activity is well received by students. Over 40 parents and faculty participate

yearly. Because this is a community-sponsored event, we are asking for your help to continue this tradition for our students. Sponsors may choose to donate merchandise, coupons and gift certificates that can be used as door prizes. Donations in the past have included cameras, telephones,

grooming products, televisions and even a dorm refrigerator. Others prefer to make cash donations that can be used to provided food, T-shirts, additional door prizes and activities such as music, inflatables, entertainment and anything else the committee can conceive to keep those early morning hours moving and exciting. Your support is critical to the overall suc-

Lagro, IN

cess of the evening and will determine the type and extent of entertainment that can be offered. The After Prom committee will be announcing and promoting names of our donors at various events and in area newspapers throughout the spring of 2014. Prom is an exciting night for students, bringing them back safely and at a reasonable hour is what

After Prom is all about. Students have responded well in the past, and our goal is to continue that tradition. With your help, we will. Thank you so much for your generous donation to the youth of our community. Carlye McLaughlin & Michele Barnete, MHS After Prom Represenatives

Some bugs move indoors over winter

Winter weather may not be enticing to some people, but many people enjoy the absence of insects when the mercury drops. When temperatures dip, insects that do not have the benefit of body fat need to find different methods to riding out the chilly weather. Like bears and groundhogs, some insects hibernate, while others move to warmer locations for survival. Although insects may be less prevalent outdoors, homeowners often see an increase of insect activity indoors during the winter, when bugs seek out more cozy accommoda-

tions. The following are some of the insects homeowners may see more frequently as colder weather arrives. -Stink bugs As the autumn air turns cold, brown marmorated stink bugs move indoors. According to Mike Raupp, a professor of entomology at the University of Maryland, data points to high numbers of stink bug populations in 2013. Home invasions may be greater than in years past thanks to favorable conditions this summer. Stinkbugs, which are

native to areas of China and Japan, have a sustained presence in North America, having been observed in 41 states, including Hawaii. In parts of Maryland, West Virginia and Delaware, scientists have observed high numbers of stink bugs found piled six inches deep in some traps. To keep stinkbugs out, seal any cracks around the windows and doors with caulk. Patch any tiny holes in the walls and use foam sprays to patch up holes around outdoor electrical outlets. -Ladybugs (Ladybird beetles)

Ladybugs, with their vivid red-and-black markings, may not cause concern when found in gardens. But when found in large numbers inside of the house, ladybugs should cause concern. They do not pose any health or infestation risks, but they can be pests in large numbers indoors. Many ladybugs will leave the home in the spring when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done hibernating. Otherwise, you can sweep them outdoors or remove them another way. -Box elder bugs These insects can enter the home through tiny cracks or

under doors. They also can sneak in on clothing or bags from outside. Box elder bugs are largely harmless, as they will not eat anything in the home or reproduce. But many people are put off by any black insects running around their homes. As with many other insects, finding the point of entry and sealing it up is the key to keeping them out. -Camelback crickets The camelback cricket, also known as the camel cricket or spider cricket, is a strange-looking bug. It has the body of a cricket, but the long, arched

legs of a spider. They are brown or striped, but unlike other types of crickets, these insects do not have wings, so they are silent and will not alert you to their presence with the familiar chirping noise. Furthermore, camelback crickets have spectacular jumping abilities. They have poor eyesight and usually jump toward a predator attempting to scare it away. This can make the cricket seem aggressive. It will not harm people, but because they are omni-

vores, camelback crickets can eat just about anything in your home and also will eat their own. They like dark, warm, damp environments, so removing these conditions can reduce the number of crickets you find indoors. To further prevent indoor insect populations, take preemptive measures in the fall. Spray the exterior of the home with an insecticide and keep mulch or damp leaves away from the perimeter. If insects become troublesome, consult with an exterminator.
