Chili for Charity Cook-off packs Paradise Spring

by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com With the temperature’s high just hitting 54 degrees Saturday, the Wabash Cannonball Chili for Charity Cook-off was the perfect place to go warm up. This is Wabash’s 11th annual chili cook-off. With over 100 booths, the cook-off has raised approximately $60,000 in past years for charity. Bill Gerding and Steve Bowman are the co-founders of this successful event. Wabash’s chili cook-off proudly touts the title as the “largest chili cook-off east of the Mississippi River.” Every year, thousands of visitors and chili connoisseurs come to sample over a hundred different chili soups. Some are known for their tasty flavors, some for their unique ingredients and some for their not-so-great attempts. The hordes of people that swarmed the cook-off on Saturday were each given tickets after being stamped on the hand. The stamp let them try the chili, while the tickets gave them each a vote. Some opted to give all their tickets to the first booth, while others tasted and thought carefully before giving up a single ticket. Each booth competed not only with their chili, but their attitudes and atmospheres to win over some tickets. Some would dance, sing, brag or even badger people into giving them their tickets. The Boilermakers chose to loudly claim their chili as the best, while the creators of the Amputee Chili used some curiosity and a little bit of fear to get people to drop their tickets. Curiosity was a popular theme with many of the booths. Who could produce the most odd or capture pop-culture the best with their chili? This year the Pirates of the Cannonball returned with their very own Jack Sparrow making rounds. Scooby Doo and the gang also made a visit with some chili that had a somewhat spooky-or maybe just strange-ingredient: kangaroo. ARC won the category of Most Unusual Ingredient with their kangaroo-meat chili. Another chili that stuck out with a strange ingredient was the Pumpkin Chili. Many would

approach the booth, look to their friends and convince one to try it before taking the chance themselves. There was no way around the Duck Dynasty booths that were periodically mixed in. More beards than ever before seen in Wabash gathered to try the chili attached to the cultural phenomenon. A chili even dared to take on the Breaking Bad fandom with “Broken Bad Chili.” Surrounding the booth in yellow HAZMAT suits, people could cautiously taste this new chili. Fitalicious returned this year and blasted loud rock from enormous speakers as they flexed their gargantuan muscles. If you dared, they might even let a passerby attempt to lift one of their giant foam weights. Jakae Francis’ chili again won this year’s Open Showmanship category with Fitalicious. Taking a different approach, one booth boasted a Las Vegas theme and even put a woman on a pedestal in a cage. When approached, she would hand out beads. Judges of the chili cook-off must follow strict rules that differ from the general public. The identity of the chili they taste is purely confidential. With the judges left in the dark on whose chili they might taste, they take just a spoonful and determine where it falls on a (continued on page 19)

Coming next month: Cathy’s Natural Market, LLC by Ashley Flynn ashley@thepaperofwabash.com Just in time for Thanksgiving, Wabash residents will have a new option for buying their holiday meal ingredients. Cathy’s Natural Market is set to open next month at 1315 N. Cass St., next to Joy Christian Bookstore. “When you walk into our store, CATHY PRICE STANDS BY HER UPCOMING storefront’s window. Cathy’s Natural Market, LLC is scheduled to you will be able to buy anything open before Thanksgiving. (photo by Emily Armentrout) you could at any other grocery store, but it’s either going to be

organic, GMO free or some other type of specialty food,” Cathy Price, owner of the grocery told The Paper. Cathy, who follows a strict wheatfree diet, hopes to cater to those with special dietary needs or those just looking for a healthier food alternative. “We are tailoring to those people with restrictive diets. We are trying to make it easy for them, because I know the frustrations,” Cathy said.

Cathy has studied holistic nutrition and has been buying glutenfree products since 2009 when her husband discovered he has celiac disease, which is an immune reaction to eating gluten. “About five years ago, I got down to about 140 pounds. I wasn’t looking very good. Cathy took me to a doctor, and I got tested for celiac disease,” Rick told The Paper. Rick’s mother passed away from (continued on page 4)

While our goal is to have an advocate for each case, without willing people to step forward for the children, this does not always happen.

BRANDON KEPPEL, 16, bowled a 300 in the first game of a three game series on Saturday, Sept. 21 at Cannonball Lanes. Keppel is a part of a weekly league at Cannonball Lanes. He has been bowling in leagues since he was four years old, but the closest he has come to a 300 game is bowling 279, which is throwing a spare in one frame and strikes throughout the rest of the game. Jim Keppel, Brandon’s father, joked that he taught Brandon everything he knows. Brandon beat his dad to a 300 though. Jim’s highest score is a 299. Brandon told The Paper “I was getting really nervous. My heart was pounding hard. Everyone stopped bowling and it got real quiet.” When asked about the emotions when the game was in the books, Brandon said “It was a lot of excitement and a little shy of relief.” (photo by Emily Armentrout)

Coming next month: Cathy’s Natural Market, LLC... continued from front page the disease, which basically causes the body to malnutrition. There is no cure for celiac disease, but following a strict glutenfree helps manage symptoms. Later, Cathy had herself tested and discovered she is wheatsensitive. She does not have the same immune effects from wheat, but it does cause tiredness, digestive issues and grogginess. She also learned she is allergic to broccoli, squash and pumpkins. “I would walk around with sinus problems all the time,” Cathy said, but since eliminating wheat from her diet and switching to organic foods, Cathy and her husband both feel healthier. After making the switch, Cathy ran into another problem – finding foods she could eat. “Before our store, you would have to go to Kokomo or Fort

Wayne to get these things. For us to go shopping, I go to one store and there’s a little section here and a little something there, but I have to go everywhere to get these things. It’s nice to be able to just walk into one store and say, ‘oh, I can eat this’,” Cathy said. With 3,000 square feet of space, Cathy’s Natural Market will carry a large variety of foods and produce, and they will also carry products such as shampoos, creams, deodorants, soaps and other necessities – made with all-natural ingredients, of course. They will also offer bulk foods, gourmet cheeses, organic meats, local farm fresh and artisan products, vitamins, supplements, minerals, herb and sports nutrition items. Cathy and Rick are working with United Natural Foods, Inc., to supply most of the products. According

to their website, UNFI is leading independent national distributor of natural, organic and specialty foods and related products including nutritional supplements, personal care items and organic produce, in the United States. They have over 60,000 products for Cathy to choose from, and they also have a system, which will allow her to keep track of which items are selling the best and when items need to be restocked. They are also working with B&B Organics, a company based in Mishawaka. They will supply fresh produce to the store. Schwabe North America, Inc., will supply the store with Nature’s Way products such as supplements and vitamins. Cathy and Rick also plan on partnering with local farmers. In the future, they hope to have doctors and chefs provide classes and presentations about healthy living and cooking. In preparation for the store, Cathy did market studies to see how receptive people would be. She sold items at the farmer’s market and talked to be people in the community. “We’ve been getting a lot of feedback from people saying how convenient this will be. People will be able to make one stop and get it all,” she said. “If you want to eat healthy, you’re going to have to pay for

Wabash Industrial Business Complex selected for Duke Energy Readiness Program By Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com The Industrial Business Complex, which sits on 135 acres of land in Wabash, has been selected as one of five properties in Indiana for Duke Energy’s 2013 Site Readiness Program. According to Duke Energy’s website, Duke Energy’s Site Readiness Program “provides funding and expertise to help communities identify, assess, improve and increase awareness of industrial sites in the Duke Energy Indiana territory.” In an email to The Paper, Bill Konyha, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, stated that the “process and evaluation were essential to Wabash County becoming a community working towards continuous improvement.” Konyha also explained the criteria by which Wabash County and the Industrial Business Complex were evaluated. Categories like site characteristics, utility a d e q u a cy / c ap a c i t y, transportation access and site costs were included in the site evaluation. The Wabash Northeast Business Complex received at 77 percent, with a 229.75 out of 300. There are some issues that are out of the community’s control. One issue that was part of the report

THERE IS NO CURRENT plan for the use of the remaining 135 acres at the Industrial Business Complex, but the Readiness Program gave insight on changes that needed to be made to allow the EDG to look into plans for the future. (photo by Emily Armentrout) was the distance from I-69. Though the 38mile distance from the complex to I-69, Konyha pointed out that the Hoosier Heartland Highway is complete and will open soon. He also noted that means “we will have four-lane highways connecting us to I-65 and I-69.” The issue of the complex not having a railroad isn’t as big of a problem because the complex was never intended for heavy industrial use. The complex is more appropriate for “light manufacturing, food processing, logistics, distribution, value added agricultural processing, medical

implements and advanced manufacturing,” according to Konyha. On the Business and Industrial Services level, Wabash trails Indiana when it comes to educational attainment. Wabash County’s graduation rate is 85.4 percent, with Indiana’s graduation rate being 87 percent. Wabash County also trails the state in bachelor degree attainment by 6.8 percent. Konyha told The Paper that “the ability that Wabash County has to recruit technical and professional workforce is perceived as a weakness.” “We have been working on these (issues)

EDG is proud to partner with the YMCA, all three of our public school corporations, the Chamber of Commerce, our elected officials, Beauchamp McSpadden, Parkview Hospital, and countless others to develop a culture that values college and career readiness,” added Konyha. The information received from McCallum Sweeney will be used as the E c o n o m i c Development Group designs the final phases of infrastructure for the complex according to Konyha. “We’ve already addressed the minor issues and we will consider all of their remaining comments.” There is no current plan to build on the remaining 135 acres at the Wabash Northeast Business Complex, but Konyha told The Paper that the information put out by McCallum Sweeney would be used for marketing programs as well. “The opportunity to be evaluated by a major site selector is a great opportunity and EDG is very grateful to Duke Energy for making it possible.”

Project Spotlight began the nomination process in April, which allowed anyone in the 12 communities to nominate a local worthy charitable organization/project. The nominations were then narrowed down to three nominations per community by the Project Spotlight panel. In 2013, it was decided all nominations should have the opportunity to gain votes and participate

in the voting process. In addition, a Facebook component was implemented to the voting process so after voting on the website one could immediately post their vote on Facebook. The voting process was held during the months of August and September. Anyone could vote for their favorite local charitable project/ organization by in-branch voting slips or online.

Indiana pumpkin producers overall were happy with production yield and prices this year, even with â&#x20AC;&#x153;two seasonsâ&#x20AC;? of drastically differing weather during the summer, a Purdue University plant pathologist says. Dan Egel said it was an average year for pumpkin production, with the first half of the season wet and the second half dry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first half of the summer was good for providing moisture for the pumpkins, and most pumpkins are not irrigated,â&#x20AC;? Egel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the second half of the season, some of the pumpkins on welldrained land lost yield because of the dry weather.â&#x20AC;? The wet weather brought disease problems to some pumpkin fields, particularly Phytophthora blight, which can kill plants and cause fruit rot. The disease was largely held in check, however, when the weather turned dry. Consumers should not have a problem finding good-quality Indiana pumpkins. Egel said that when picking out a pumpkin, shoppers should look for one that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any soft spots, which could lead to rot. They can do that by running their hands over the pumpkin to feel for them.

New voter registration form changes announced Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson announced the release of new Indiana voter registration forms. These improved forms will help decrease the possibility of voter registration fraud by tracking the chain of custody for voter registration applications. “By creating a custody trail, we are providing county clerks with the tools they need to stop fraudulent registrations that undermine the integrity of our elec-

tion process,” said Secretary Lawson. “In previous elections, we’ve had fraudulent voter registration forms submitted for Jimmy Johns and Mickey Mouse. Most of the time, these applications are mixed in with legitimate applications collected by groups registering large amounts of voters and then turned in to county voter registration offices just before the registration deadline. The new information required by these forms will give clerks the ability to follow up with the person who submitted the application to ensure the forms were correctly and lawfully filled out.”

The updated registration form includes a new section for individuals who collect voter registration applications to document their name, address and the date they received the completed application. The newly registered voter will also receive a receipt with the name and address of the individual who took custody of the application and date the transaction occurred. If a person’s application is given to another person, but for whatever reason never arrives at a county voter registration office, these changes will help the county assist that person in registering to

vote. The additional information required by the new form can also help the county voter registration office identify any patterns of suspicious activity or clear violations of election law. The new Indiana voter registration forms also remind groups and individuals who register voters of their own responsibility to protect the election process and prevent disenfranchisement of voters who have placed their trust in these groups or individuals. By putting their name on the application, individuals collecting voter registration forms will be more likely to review the application to ensure it is correctly filled out and filed in a timely manner. Individuals collecting voter registration applications who receive an application they believe to be false or fraudulent are now required to submit the application to the appropriate county election office with a statement sworn to under penalties of perjury, indicating why they believe the application to be fraudulent, to alert county officials that a violation of election law may have occurred. In the past, county voter registration offices across Indiana have reported frequent “hoarding and

dumping” of voter registration applications. Before this year, individuals or groups could hoard voter registration applications received from voters for weeks or even months before submitting them to county voter registration offices. Large numbers of these applications were then dumped on county offices just before the registration deadline to help conceal “bogus” applications or as a campaign strategy designed to benefit a candidate, not the voters. Beginning with next year’s election, all applications collected from another person must be turned into the county voter registration office or the Indiana Election Division no later than noon 10 days of receipt of the application or the deadline to submit applications under state law, whichever occurs first. The 2013 Indiana General Assembly as part of Senate Enrolled Act 519 enacted these changes in the voter registration process. The bipartisan Indiana Election Commission approved the updated forms, with assistance from the bi-partisan Indiana Election Division under the guidance of co-directors Brad King and Trent Deckard.

COMMUNITY NEWS

concerns were: electricity up-grades at the pull field for the vendors, and the need of EMA at SR 16 due to the large amount of pedestrian traffic crossing the road from the pull field. There is also a need for EMA or volunteers to help with SR 15 on Saturday morning for the 5-K Run/Walk.

The board and committee wishes to thank everyone who stepped in and helped with the many activities. A special thank you to the Eel River 4-H Club for cleaning the streets after the festival on Sunday, you were a blessing.

Oct. 21 Commissioners Meeting Recap During this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commissioners meeting departmental reports, John Martin, County Highway Superintendent delivered some good news about the North Manchester covered bridge reconstruction. The contractor for the project proposed switching the siding size from 7.5 inches to 10 inches, which is a $9,036 reduction in cost. Then Martin gave some not so good news. Only 20 percent of the old siding is reusable, which is down from the originally reported 60 percent. This change calls for an additional $6,111. Both changes were approved. Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land reported that there are 77 inmates in the jail with 23 of them being new. There are also 29 Wabash

inmates being held in the Miami County jail. Sheriff Land also reported that he ordered 21 new bulletproof vests for his staff. A $4,000 matching grant helped pay for this. Last week, Sheriff Land attended a legislative meeting regarding a new law, which will leave more inmates in county jails. During the meeting, he learned that the law might be pushed off until next year, which will give the jail more time to prepare for the changes. Chirag Patel and Stan Bagley of the Laketon Area Regional Sewer District gave the commissioners an update. Laketon sewage has been mandated to affiliate with North Manchester. Sewage will be pumped from Laketon to North

Manchester, and the sewage department is ready to submit final applications for funding the project. Jason Miller and Brian Campbell of Randall Miller & Associates, Inc., provided the commissioners with information regarding Wabash Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) transition plan and inventory. The county is on its way to becoming compliant with current standards, and the project is expected to cost approximately $670,000. The board plans to post the informational packet in PDF format onto the website for the public to view. Then, the public is welcome to share comments and concerns with the board.

THE PAPER 12 Beacon partners with Banzai Financial Literacy to enrich students’ education www.thepaperofwabash.com

20629

by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com In March of this year, a company named Banzai contacted Beacon Credit Union about a partnership opportunity to aid in students’ understanding of finances. “Most, if not all, states have financial literacy built into their education system curriculum,” said Banzai’s Communications and Media Specialist Kevin Peterson. “The problem is that, with the tight budgets schools face, it’s hard for teachers to have the proper materials for teaching finance to their students.” Banzai is a financial literacy program for junior high and high school students. It was awarded the “Curriculum of the Year” award by the Institute of Financial Literacy in 2010. The program uses real life situations to teach students about money management. It is the largest program of its kind, used by more than 5,000 schools in all 50 states.

According to Northfield Jr./Sr. High School teacher Ted Bahney, one of the most useful parts of the program is the budgeting tool. “There is an application to set up little jars of money to use to practice budgeting,” said Bahney. “It gives them an idea of what the real world is like when it comes to managing their money.” Bahney started using the program this year as part of his eighth grade “Experience College and Careers” class. This class focuses heavily on finance and uses Banzai in conjunction with other programs, such as Junior A c h i e ve m e n t Finance, to teach kids about money. The Banzai program itself only takes about three days for the stu-

October 23, 2013

dents to complete, which is an advantage when teaching a class like Bahney’s, which only lasts for nine weeks. Bahney particularly likes the tools for teachers, allowing them to monitor scores and progress so they can identify those individuals that are struggling. “I would definitely recommend this to other teachers to try,” said Bahney. “The kids really got a lot out of it.” Beacon provides the in-class booklets and online interactive program to schools free of charge. This partnership is not only beneficial to students and teachers, but to Beacon as well. “Partnering with Banzai has given us the opportunity to interact with the students to provide not only financial knowl-

edge, but also teach them tangible steps they can take in order to achieve their financial goals,” said Beacon Credit Union’s Marketing Coordinator Abigail Chapman. During the school year, loan officers from Beacon visit schools to talk to students using the program about personal finance and what exactly their business does. “It’s a great program to get in front of the students, as well as teach them about Beacon and about the difference between banks and credit unions,” said Chapman. Beacon currently supplies the program to schools in Cass, H u n t i n g t o n , Marshall, Plymouth, Steuben, Dekalb, Miami, Grant, Allen, and Wabash counties.

THE URBANA BLOOD DRIVE will be held Nov. 8 at the Urbana Community Building from 1:306:30 p.m. This blood drive is sponsored by the Outreach Committee of the Urbana Yoke Parish. THANK YOU URBANA: The Urbana Street Light Committee would like to thank everyone for their donations to keep the streetlights burning in Urbana. If for some reason you were not contacted and would still like to contribute, donations can be mailed anytime during the year to the Urbana Light Fund, P. O. Box 112, Urbana, IN 46990. URBANA LIONS CLUB met on Oct. 14 with President Ron Anderson in charge of the meeting. Plans were discussed for the all day Nov. 2 Fish Fry. The Northfield football team will be helping. Lion members now have tickets to sell. A new fan is being installed in the kitchen prior to the Fish Fry to help remove the odor from the building. The new (used) stove has been installed and is ready for use. Luke Hunt reported that he has been talking with Professor Abby Fuller at M a n c h e s t e r University about having her sociology class do a survey in Urbana next spring to see how the Urbana Lions Club could better serve the Urbana community. Joe Adams reported that 41 children at the Noah’s Ark and St. Bernard’s Nursery schools were given eye screenings to detect vision problems that need to be addressed before a child enters school. Once the eye screenings are completed, the reports are sent to Indiana University School of Optometry to be read. Initial findings showed that four children might need to be referred to local optometrists for follow-up. KidSight is a free screening program provided by the

Indiana Lions and Indiana University. Urbana Lions Club members John Eltzroth and Michael Snell are working with Cyclone Manufacturing to make another rack to hold chairs used in the Community Building. Being able to easily move the chairs will help groups that need to set up for different functions and provide easier access to those renting tables and chairs. The next meeting of the Urbana Lions Club is Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. URBANA YOKE PARISH GUILD: Kitty Baer hosted the October meeting of the Yoke Parish Guild and led the group in prayer before the carry-in salad meal. President Alma DeVore opened the meeting with a reading from The Quilt of L i f e — G o d ’ s Stitchery. The secretary and treasurer gave reports. It was noted that Guild members baked 40 dozen cookies for the prison ministry at Grissom and helped prepare the meal for the Community Supper in Manchester. “What’s in your purse?” was the title of the lesson given by Kitty Baer. Mrs. Baer read a list of items and members checked to see how many of those items were in their purse. Eileen Weck was given a prize for having the most items listed.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Mrs. Baer read Galations 2:20 to begin the lesson. She talked about items that should be in our “purse for the Christian life”: cell phone - communication with God and prayer; driver’s license - as children of God, we are identified by our Christ-like actions; cash and credit cards - laying up treasures in heaven; sunglasses - look through our eyes as Christ would; hand lotion - softness in response to people and situations; hairbrush - brush away worries and concentrate on God; and lipstick - praise and sing to God -Psalm 34:1. Following the lesson, Mrs. Baer and cohostesses Martha Chamberlain and Eileen Weck served Mrs. Baer’s homemade apple dumplings with ice cream. Others attending were Alma DeVore, Helen Dawes, Janet Warnock, Doris Mattern, Sara Helt, and Esther Wagner. The location of the November meeting will be announced at a later date.

The Access Youth Center promotes peaces October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this year The Access Youth Center held two events at their facility to give families an opportunity to come together, learn more about the cause and to celebrate peace. The facility was decorated with the color purple and the crafts, and prizes awarded kept the same theme as staff and volunteers worked to incorporate the symbols and color that commemorate

this month. Hands of Hope of Wabash County had a presence at the events as well, working together with AYC for this important cause. On Oct. 4, in conjunction with Downtown First Friday, AYC families enjoyed pizza and games and were given opportunity to design their own peace sign, each one had the color purple somewhere on the symbol to honor Domestic Violence

Awareness. The S.P.Y. (Spiritual Praying Youth) Class met on Wednesday, Oct. 9 to make large peace signs, learn the symbols for peace in other languages, and to study their memory verse for the week found in Matthew 5:9 “God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” This series of activity nights wrapped up on Saturday, Oct. 12 with a Wii Bowl for Peace night at AYC.

One of the Community Groups from Bachelor Creek Church of Christ helped sponsor the events of the evening, providing food and volunteers as Wabash families competed in a Wii Bowling Tournament, and enjoyed numerous purple themed door prizes. Wabash Cannonball Lanes provided the “Individual High Score” bowling pin, which was awarded to Marie Suddarth. “We are so blessed to be able to partner with the Community Foundation, United Fund, Hands of Hope and Bachelor Creek to bring these events to AYC this month,” said Access Youth Center Executive Director Liz Hobbs “We know that every church, every work place, and every community group have members who have been or will be affected by domestic violence. It is so important to continue to bring the message of peace to everyone, especially the youth of our community.”

Chili for Charity Cook-off packs Paradise Spring... continued from front page scale of 1-10. After each bite, the judges must cleanse their pallets with either a cracker or a sip of beer. Oktogafest, rookies to the event, took this year’s first place prize. Wayne Denger, Jordan Tandy, Josh Petruniw, Patrick Sullivan and Chris Marts wore togas as they served their deep fried chili, a recipe created by Tandy and his wife Ashley. Each taste of chili served to the public was in a two-ounce container. Most of these were about halffull, but all of that chili adds up. With 128 ounces in a gallon, sampling each of the 116 chili soups would get someone very close to that mark. Some would not have any problems going for seconds of their favorite chili. As people wandered from booth to booth, determining whether their hatred of beans outweighs their curiosity to try all types of chili, they found they couldn’t walk too far without finding someone they knew. Either they were running a booth, supporting friends or also just sampling chili on a cool day. The Wabash Chili for C h a r i t y Cook-off packed

Paradise Spring Historical Park for four hours with bopping heads and crazy characters. The attire varied at the cook-off. The majority of attendees chose to wear hooded sweatshirts and jeans, but some chose more colorful garb. There was at least one person sporting an allred body suit that covered his face and all. Some wore T-shirts to support their chili, while others wore chili-colored T-shirts to support their laundry. With all of these attendees, the charity raised a pretty penny to donate to the following organizations: 85 Hope, Best of the Best, FAME, Honeywell Center E d u c a t i o n a l , Outreach Program, Paradise Spring Historical Park, Special Olympics of Wabash County, The Access, The Wabash River Defenders, Wabash County Historical Museum and the Wabash C o u n t y

Transit. The chili committee is already planning away for next year’s chili cook-off. The chili cook-off is always held in the third week of October and brings tourists and chili connoisseurs from around the country to sample these recipes. Next year will be the cook-off ’s twelfth year. If you weren’t able to make it this year, clear your calendar for 2014. A good meal at low cost for a great cause will be waiting.

Wabash county residents have experienced these weather related emergencies F1 an including Tornado that impacted the north side of the City of Wabash in October 2010 causing thousands of dollars in property damage. Emergency events and full-scale disasters can deplete existemergency ing response personnel quickly. CERT members can help to restore order to damaged areas and lend aid to affected residents of the area. The Wabash County CERT training is being offered to county residents so that they can assist in their neighborhoods

as well as throughout Wabash County when needed. The CERT training provides county residents with basic skills required to handle their own needs and then respond to the needs of their neighbors in time of disaster. CERT members normally deploy in their neighborhoods and then where needed within the county professional until responemergency ders have arrived. members CERT may be managing and directing untrained volunteers who arrive at a disaster scene offering assistance. The CERT concept is designed to have volunteers trained available to assist professional other responemergency ders. After the 9/11 ter-

rorist attack in New York, hundreds of thousands of volunteers appeared at disaster sites, police and fire departments and Red Cross offices. Volunteers with willing hands are always needed and can be useful, but emergency responders need to do their work rather than train those who want to help. The CERT team can help the untrained volunteers be productive while allowing the emergency responders to do their jobs. When emergencies occur, CERT members can give support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency events that help improve the safety of their communities such as, local festivals, fairs, parades and charity events throughout Wabash County. CERT members receive a backpack with basic first aid supplies and other tools needed to perform their duties. Meeting will be Nov. 5,7,12,14, and 16. Training sessions are about 3 hours in length. You would need to attend all the training sessions. Who can be a CERT member? Anyone can apply for the team. Basic requirements include: valid Indiana Driver’s license, resident of Wabash County or the cities and towns within the county boundaries. Must be 18 years of age. Retirees are welcome. No criminal

Knights wrap up county title by Gary Andrews The Southwood Knights were 2-0 in county play and were in control of their own destiny to win the county title as they traveled to Wabash Friday to take on the Apaches. A win would seal the out right title and the Knights wasted no time letting everyone know they meant business. The Knights would jump out to a 17-0 first quarter lead on their way to a 51-7 win. Wabash would get the ball first with the Southwood defense forcing a four and out. The Knights would go to the air to start, mounting a 10 play, 80-yard drive that was aided by three Wabash penalties and capped off by a Nathan Hollars 36 yard touchdown run to lead 7-0 with 7:02 on the clock. On the Apaches second possession, the Knights forced a fumble on the second play with Ryan Barton recovering on the Wabash 24. The Wabash defense would keep the Knights out of the end zone, forcing a 34 yard Zach Hobson field goal and the Knights led 10-0 with 5:00 remaining. On the next Apache possession Austin Schlemmer would pick off a Wabash pass on the 24 and the Knights were in business one more time. After a pass from Robbie Cole to Danny Goff put the ball on the five, Hollars would find the end zone again and the Knights led 17-0 after one. The Apaches would have the ball first in the second quarter, mounting a

drive to the Knight 18, attempting a field goal that went wide left. Southwood would take over on the 20, with Cole hitting Noah Kirk to the 50. Two plays later Reece McDonald would recover a Southwood fumble to stall the drive. After going nowhere on offense the Apaches would attempt a fake punt that failed and Southwood had the ball on the 49. Cole would hit Keaton Weiss to the 40 and two plays later Hollars raced to the 25. Cole would then connect with Jackson Blair to the 4 with Cole running it in on 4th down from 1 yard out to go up 24-0 with 5:50 left. The Apaches would get their lone score on their next possession. After Luke Proctor gave them great field possession with the kick off return to the 42, Chase Dirig would complete two passes to Roger Davis to the 17. After a Reece McDonald got the ball to the 6, Dirig would find Davis in the end zone with 50.1 left to make it 247. With just seconds left the Knights would strike one more time. On a first and 10 on their own 42, Cole would fine Danny Goff behind the defenders for a 58yard strike and would lead 31-7 at the half. Southwood would put up 20 points in the third quarter. On their second possession of the quarter and on the 13th play-

er of the drive, Hollars would find the end zone again from 15 yards out with 3:45 left to give the Knights a 37-7 lead. After a Ryan Barton fumble recovery Cole would connect with Jackson Blair with 54.1 left from 43yards out and it was 44-7. Nick Rebholz would then pick off a Wabash pass on their second play giving the Knights one more shot with just seconds left. On the first play Hollars would scamper from 25yards out to pay dirt as the Knights led 51-7 with a quarter to go. Wabash would mount a drive to start the fourth quarter, driving to the Southwood 6. The Apaches couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the end zone as neither defense would bend in the quarter and the game ended 51-7. Robbie Cole was 9 for 20 for 226 yards, two touchdowns. Nathan Hollars rushed for 164 yards on 22 carries. Jon Berlier added 18 yards. Jackson Blair had 3 catches for 89 yards, 1 touchdown. Danny Goff had 2 catches for 81 yards, 1touchdown. Noah Kirk had 2 for 22 yards, Keaton Weiss 2 for 14 yards. Nick Rebholz led the defense with 13 tackles. Kodi Clemons would lead Wabash in rushing with 60yards. Chase Dirig had 62 yards passing and Roger Davis 51 receiving.

Squires use strong second half comeback to defeat Norse by Gary Andrews It was the tale of two halves for the Manchester football team Friday, as they needed a 20 point second half comeback to defeat county foe Northfield 23-20. Northfield would totally dominate the first half, holding the Squires to just three points on a Ross Messer field goal with just 7 seconds left in the half. Northfield would put the only points on the board in the first quarter on a Alec Wells 7 yard touchdown run with 52 sec-

onds remaining to lead 6-0. Jared Short would run in the twopoint conversion and Northfield led 8-0. Both defenses would dominate in the second quarter with the only points coming on the Ross Messer field goal to make it 8-3 at the half. Things would get a little busier on the offensive end in the second half. The Squires had the first possession of the third quarter, mounting a drive that was capped off by a Jacob Casper 2 yard touchdown run with 8:38 on

the clock to give Manchester a 10-8 lead. The Norse would mount a drive of their own to answer the Squires, with Carter Frieden scoring from 1 yard out with just .30 on the clock and the Norse were back up 14-10. It looked as though the Norse would have the lead heading to the fourth, but Lucas Schilling thought why wait, scoring at the buzzer and the Squires took the lead back 16-14 with a quarter to go. With 6:52 left in the fourth quarter, Jacob

Casper would give the Squires some breathing room, scoring from 21 yards out and with the Messer kick the Squires led 23-14. Just 45 seconds later the Norse made things interesting, finding pay dirt on a Carter Frieden 9 yard run to make it 23-20. The two-point conversion failed and the Squires took over. After the Norse defense held they had one more shot. Northfield would move the ball and had it at midfield when the Manchester defense rose to the

Turn up that dial! From the underground dance clubs of 1950s Memphis, Tenn., comes a hot new Broadway musical that bursts off the stage with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. Winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the touring Broadway production of “ “Memphis, the Musical,” part of the 2013-2014 season of the Wabash Valley Music Association Series, presented by Wellbrooke of Wabash, comes to the stage of the Honeywell Center at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7. Inspired by actual events, “Memphis” is about a radio DJ who wants to change the world and a club singer who is ready for her big break. The audience is invited to come along on their incredible journey to the ends of the airwaves—filed with laughter, soaring emotion and roof-raising rock ‘n’ roll. Before becoming a Broadway sensation, “Memphis” played pre-Broadway at the La Jolla Playhouse and Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theater and features a Tony-winning book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change) and a Tonywinning original score with music by Bon Jovi’s founding member and keyboardist David Bryan. In the traveling production, Adam Arian will recreate the original direction by Tony nominee Christopher Ashley (“Xanadu”) and Jermaine Reimbert will recreate the original choreography by Sergio Trujillo (“Jersey Boys”). The Associated Press calls “Memphis” “the very essence of what a Broadway musical should be.”

Presbyterian Church to celebrate Scottish heritage On Sunday, Oct. 27, the Wabash Presbyterian Church, located at 123 W. Hill Street, Wabash, will hold a special Kirkin’ O’ Th’ Tartan Worship Service at 10 a.m. to celebrate the Scottish heritage of the Presbyterian Church. What does “Kirkin’ O’ Th’ Tartan” mean? A loose translation would be “blessing of the tar-

tans” or “blessing of the families”. “Kirk” is the Scottish word for church and a “Tartan” is the plaidpatterned fabric, usually wool, that clans – or families – use to distinguish themselves from other clans. Essentially, tartans provide a visual link to clan identity and heritage. Kirkin O’ Th’ Tartan Worship Services have been

held throughout North America since the early 1940s, when it was originated by former Chaplain to the Senate and Pastor of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, Rev. Peter Marshall. But the tradition is rooted in 18th Century Scottish faith and patriotism. It is said that when English conquerors banned the wearing of Tartan in 1745,

some Scottish families began to carry swatches of the material concealed under their clothing into their church services. At some point in the service, when the minister gave a blessing, the

clanspeople would touch their hidden bits of Tartan as a way to recommit themselves to their Lord and their Scottish heritage. On Oct. 27 the public is invited to wear plaid, and partici-

pate in this visible gesture of recommitment to the Word of God and Lordship of Jesus. They will commemorate the Church’s history and tradition of fidelity and loyalty to God and love for their

homelands. For more information please contact the church office at 260-563-8881 or email at office@wabashpresbyterian.com.

Wabash County Christmas Promise to take the place of Operation Elf A new committee under the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce and Wabash Area M i n i s t e r i a l Association (WAMA) is planning to take on some of the activities once performed by Operation Elf in Wabash County this holiday season. The committee has

renamed this project as Wabash County Christmas Promise. The primary purpose of the committee is to create a venue for anyone in the local Wabash County area to assist other county residents in need to provide gifts for their children during the Christmas season. The committee will be accepting only new toys and clothing for the children. They are asking those that may have used toys to donate them to locations like the Lighthouse Mission, Wabash County YMCA, or their local churches. No coats will be accepted this year by the committee. Donations of such items would be widely accepted at the Lighthouse Mission and distributed to any child in need of a warm coat as the

weather begins to turn colder. At this time, a few local churches are creating plans for the gathering and distribution of items. These plans are to be activated in the near future. Many volunteers will be needed. Any other churches, businesses, or individuals willing to help in this holiday season activity will be warmly welcomed. Volunteers interested in the Christmas Promise’s activities should contact the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce office at 260-563-1168, or by email at info@wabashchamber.org . Missy Lundmark, Jennifer McConahay, or Michelle Campbell will be contacting those that volunteer with further details after the initial con-

tact is made. Forms for those Wabash County residents requesting assistance of gifts for their children this year will be available online at www.wabashchamber.org. Paper forms will also be available in the near future at the following locations: Wabash County Chamber of Commerce First Farmers Bank & Trust Ivy Tech Community College Wabash County YMCA The Access Wabash Christian Church The deadline to turn in the request form will be no later than midnight on Nov. 15. The expected delivery date of gifts to the families will be no later than Dec. 21.

LIFE Center reflects on successful season Reminds the community they are always looking for volunteers and donations

by Emily Armentrout emily@thepaperofwabash.com The LIFE Center has had a busy and exciting summer with fundraising events, kicking off with their second annual golf outing in July at the Honeywell Public Golf Course. This year, 18 teams participated. Don LeLand’s team won the church division and the McKee team won the

individual division. The outing raised $8,575, and proceeds from the outing went to the ultrasound account, which allows the LIFE Center to continue providing free ultrasounds. During the Wabash County 4-H fair, the LIFE Center once again held their Precious Child contest. The first place winner Danika Landis, daughter of Jeremy and Rachel Landis. There were 38 contestants this year, and the contest raised $900. The proceeds from this event went

to allow the LIFE Center to continue to purchase items that the center may run low on such as diapers, wipes, prenatal vitamins and office supplies. The LIFE Center was the recipient of the first annual Smokin’ for a Cause event, which was originally a backyard barbeque contest between friends but it grew to 14 teams and took place in the Wabash County Historical Museum’s parking lot in downtown Wabash.

LIFE Center... continued from page 30 event raised $6,000 in one afternoon. The proceeds donated to the LIFE Center go to continue free ultrasounds and pregnancy tests. The LIFE Center also hosts their annual banquet, which took place on Oct. 1 this year at the Honeywell Center. Guest speaker, Melissa Ohden, a survivor of an abortion, gave a powerful testimony of how she learned of the abortion and forgiveness that she has been able to give her biological family. Also introduced was Penny, a mannequin, who is the newest member of the LIFE Center. She will be used to raise money for a new building. As each goal, $33,333 per trimester is met, Penny’s baby bump will grow and once the final goal of $100,000 is met, Penny will “deliver” the funds for a new building that the LIFE Center is desperately needed, as Jeni Friedersdorf, the client service manager at the LIFE Center, explained to the ladies at the Wabash Church of the Nazarene’s LIFE Center baby shower. On Saturday, Oct. 19, the Wabash Church of the Nazarene hosted a baby shower to benefit the LIFE Center. Jeni Friedersdorf came as a representative for the LIFE Center. Katie Johnson, wife of Pastor Kirk Johnson, was the hostess for the party. “The LIFE Center has such an important role in our community. So many young moms don’t know where to turn for support and education, and it’s wonderful to have an organization in Wabash that can help meet those needs. We are excited to be able to partner with them as they serve their clients and our community,” Johnson told The Paper of why the Wabash Nazarene Church wanted to host a baby shower for the center. Like other baby showers, guests arrived with baby gifts such as clothes, diapers, wipes and other necessities for babies. They participated in baby shower games like baby bab-

ble, where they unscrambled different words relating to babies and name that nursery rhyme. They also enjoyed cupcakes and punch. After the normal baby shower festivities wrapped up, Friedersdorf talked to the attendees about the LIFE Center. “The LIFE Center was established in 1984, by several nurses who saw a need in Wabash County due to the rising number of teen pregnancies,” e x p l a i n e d Friedersdorf. She went on to talk about how the LIFE Center reaches girls not only in Wabash County but also in surrounding counties and how the center is even present in local schools. As the center reaches more girls, the building is starting to burst at the seams. “We purchased our current building (located at 78 W. Hill Street) about six years ago and it is time to start looking again and see what God has in store for us,” e x p l a i n e d Friedersdorf. The LIFE Center is not only looking to

expand into a larger building but also into more testing. They are currently looking into the possibility of starting STD testing along with their pregnancy tests and ultrasounds they are already offering girls, free of charge. The LIFE Center does not charge their clients for any service they offer. They currently have three paid staff members and multiple volunteers, but they are always looking for more volunteers. They have a board made up of volunteers, but they also look for volunteer consultants to meet with the girls that come in. “The center does train our volunteers. We don’t just throw you into situations,” added Friedersdorf. They are also looking for volunteers to help in the clothing room or to even help keep the building clean. They have volunteer positions for all different skill levels. “It is a little uneasy when you are with a client who is abortion minded, but we do train you. It’s hard when you are trying

to explain how it will affect them physically and emotionally. We try to share their options with them and discuss their goals for the future,” F r i e d e r s d o r f explained to the ladies at the Nazarene Church. The LIFE Center also hosts a post-abortion Bible study because it is important that the clients understand the center is still there for them, because it is likely they will struggle later in life. “A lot of these girls come in because they are looking for someone to talk to, someone to listen to them.” Being on the volunteer board entails attending the LIFE Center’s events like their annual banquet and their annual rally held in January, which almost always ends up being one of the coldest days. Friedersdorf doesn’t think that’s a coincidence though. “Jan. 23, 1973 was the day abortion became legal, so that’s why we have the rally in January. It marks for us to rally together and try to defeat Rowe

NRCS business resumes in Indiana

Indianapolis - After a 16-day mandatory furlough, Indiana Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) employees are back to work under the fiscal year 2014 C o n t i n u i n g Resolution. State Conservationist Jane Hardisty said she is proud of the over 200 agency employees located in Indiana for their timely shutdown of offices on Oct. 1 and their professionalism during this hard time. The shutdown impacted many of NRCS’s partner organizations and agencies, such as Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Indiana Department of Agriculture that are co-located in USDA service centers. Hardisty said, “While

our dedicated employees are ready to get back to working with our customers to carry out projects and get conservation on the ground, I am also very proud of our Indiana Conservation Partnership staff who stepped up to make themselves available to provide assistance with their limited resources.” The Continuing Resolution provides funding for several Farm Bill conservation programs, including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CStP). Participants with interest in these programs are encouraged to submit applications to their local

field office on a continuous basis. Sign-up deadlines for funding rounds will be announced at a later date. Those participants with prior year agreements that installed practices during the mandatory furlough period should notify their local field office of activities completed so that practices may be certified and payments processed. Due to the expiration of the Farm Bill, several conservation program authorities have lapsed, including the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Grasslands Reserve Program (GRP) and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). No new applications may be accepted at this time. NRCS will con-

tinue to assist with agreements from prior years to ensure conservation practices are implemented and the easement closings and restoration activities are complet-

ed. Hardisty says she is confident that start-up activities will run smoothly. “We have a back log of work and requests that will need to be dealt with in the

coming weeks.” She asks for everyone’s patience as they prioritize activities and get back to business. For more information about the agency’s programs

Grain handling specialist offers tips for protecting stored grain The lowest corn prices in recent years mean farmers are likely to store a large portion of the crop on the farm into the late spring or summer of 2014, a Purdue Extension grain handling specialist says. Anytime growers decide to put corn into storage, and especially when they plan to store it for several months, they need to manage the grain properly to keep it from spoiling. That includes drying corn to a safer moisture level when it comes out of the field and then properly cleaning, loading, aerating and moni-

toring it. “This will require adequately drying to 14 to 14.5 percent for longterm storage,” Klein Ileleji said. “Think of grain in the bin as cash in the bank. Without good management, this cash can go out of condition, quickly eroding your investment.” Ileleji offered some tips for farmers to keep their grain in top shape: Sanitation: Growers need to remove all of the food sources and harboring spots for rodents and insects around their storage facilities. This includes cleaning up grain spills

and mowing surrounding vegetation. It also means cleaning handling equipment, including augers, cleaners and dryers, at the end of each use. Loading: When grain is being loaded into a bin, farmers need to use loading methods that minimize broken kernels and fine material and remove foreign material. Leaving broken kernels, fines and foreign material can make stored grain more susceptible to insect infestation, mold and spoilage because it reduces initial grain quality and aeration efficiency.

According to Purdue E x t e n s i o n ’ s Agricultural Safety Program, out-of-condition grain is the most frequent cause of grain entrapments and engulfment. “Cleaning grain and coring the bin to remove fines, leveling binned grain and using appropriate drying and handling methods all reduce broken kernels and fines, and reduce the chance you will need to enter the bin when you unload the grain,” Ileleji said. Aeration: This is the method of cooling grain with ambient air after drying it to decrease insect activity and mold development. Growers need to run bin fans to reduce grain temperature to below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and maintain cool temperatures into the late spring and summer. Using exhaust vents also will help control condensation on the inside roof and headspace walls of grain bins. Monitor: Farmers need to monitor their stored grain at a frequency determined by the initial grain quality, moisture content, temperature and whether there has been extreme weather. The higher the ambient temperature, the more frequently bins should be checked. In fall, spring and summer, they need to be checked every 1-2 weeks. In winter, that can be reduced to once a month. When checking stored grain, growers with temperature cables should monitor for gradual temperature increases over time, rather than absolute temperature. If there are no temperature cables or CO2 sensors available, Ileleji said the smell of spoilage when fans are running is a good indicator that there’s a problem. “Keep detailed records with dates and what was monitored,” he said. “Remember, it is the trends in data that help diagnose a problem and not the data collected at a given time.”

Purdue technology that helps surgeons see cancer tissue is being tested O n T a r g e t Laboratories LLC has teamed with partners in academia to test a novel optical imaging technology developed at Purdue University that could help sur-

geons see cancer tissue during surgery. The technology, developed by Philip Low, the Ralph C. C o r l e y Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at

Purdue, is based on the over-expression of specific receptors on solid cancerous tumors and enables illumination of the tumor tissue during surgery. O n T a r g e t

Laboratories has developed small molecule ligands specific for these receptors and attached them to proprietary fluorescent imaging agents. It is anticipated that the tumor-targeted

fluorescent dyes will help surgeons remove more of the tumor than would have been otherwise possible. Data from the initial use of this technology in humans was published in Nature Medicine in October 2011. The collaboration between the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Purdue will enable surgeons across various specialties to test these probes in surgeries of breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer and renal cancer. These initial studies, if successful, could

lead to more pivotal studies and thereby eventually benefit many patients with cancer. Dr. Sunil Singhal is the principal investigator for the trial at Penn. “Our patients look for the best options for the treatment of their cancers. If we are able to see cancer better during surgery and remove more of the tumor without endangering the patient, there is likely to be significant benefit to the patient. Given that the ligands target specific receptors that are overexpressed on tumors, we hope to better differentiate normal from cancer

tissue, and thereby remove more of the malignant disease,” he said. “I will be working with my colleagues to test and hopefully improve this technology in the operating room.” Low said he and his colleagues are excited about the collaboration. “This collaboration will help translate our technology from bench to bedside,” he said. “Surgery is the bedrock for the treatment of most solid tumors, and our developing technology could help the intra-operative visualization of most such tumors in the future.”

Don Thompson , president and CEO of McDonald’s Corp., will be the featured speaker at the 2014 Purdue Agricultural Alumni Association Fish Fry on Feb. 1 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. Thompson, a Purdue alumnus, will speak about the path he took from being a Purdue engineering graduate to his cur-

Wabash Carnegie Public Library offers free computer classes

The Wabash Carnegie Public Library is hosting a series of free computer classes. All classes will be held in the program room and will utilize new laptops that were purchased with LSTA Technology grant funds. Anyone is welcome to attend these valuable classes; however, space is limited, so be sure to register soon. The first class, “Google Search Secrets” will be held Thursday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. Nine out of ten people don’t know how to effectively use Google. By the time this class if over, anyone who takes the class will be a research expert and have the “keys” to the Internet. Discover how to easily use “search operators” to find the needle in the haystack online. Class attendees will also learn how to use Google Alerts, which is like setting Google up to automatically research for whatever you want, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! This exclusive course will help develop a “Research Mindset.” The class will be presented by Randy Ragan, former Adjunct Instructor, Florida Community College. The second class “ B a s i c Computer/Internet” will be Thursday, Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. The goal of this class will be to break the fear of computers.

Anyone can use and benefit from things like the Internet, email, and Microsoft Office products like Word and Excel. The best way to learn the computer is exploration. People attending the class will be reminded that most mistakes can be deleted or undone on the computer. This class will help people feel more comfortable on computers and see what docu-

ment creation is like in Word and Excel. The next five classes will be held on Thursday evenings in January at 6 p.m. These classes will explore Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. There will be two classes for each Microsoft Office program. The first class will be basic functions and fundamentals followed by a class that digs a little deeper

into the programs. These classes will be presented by David Fisher, Learn More Center. Please call the library at 260-5632972 with any questions or to register for a class. This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the Indiana State Library.

SQU I RREL CREEK

found that landowners and managers in Indiana spent $5.85 million in 2012 to manage invasive plants on their land. The Committee surveyed 116 agencies, land trusts, municipalities, contractors, and private landowners around the state, representing more than 650,000 acres of managed public and private land. The survey did not include invasive control in agricultural crop settings, just in natural areas like forests, prairies, and wetlands. “The survey is a strong representation of the invasive plant management that is going on in Indiana,” noted Ellen Jacquart, one of the Committee mem-

bers. Jacquart also works for The Nature Conservancy, one of the land trusts whose lands are plagued by invasive plants. “The responses demonstrate how invasive species have gotten a strong foothold in Indiana and how expensive it is to remove them.” Of the groups, state agencies spent the most on invasive plant management last year totaling nearly $3 million. Land trusts and municipalities came in second and third respectively by spending a little more than $1 million each. Why spend this much money? Because these invasive species are having a dramatic nega-

tive impact on our forests, prairies, wetlands and lakes. Asian bush honeysuckle, an invasive shrub used in landscaping, wreaks havoc in the forests it invades. It reduces tree regeneration, decreases songbird reproductive success, increases the number of diseasecarrying ticks in the area, and decreases the growth of the forest canopy trees by over 50 percent. The survey also revealed that landowners and managers in Indiana are having to control a wide variety of invasive plant species. The survey identified nearly 50 different species of invasive plants being managed statewide.

More than 73 percent of survey participants reported that they manage garlic mustard, making it the most commonly controlled invasive plant in Indiana. Controlling invasive plants such as garlic mustard or Asian bush honeysuckle not only requires money, but also a considerable amount of time. The total estimated hours spent on invasive plant management in 2012 came to 120,256 hours, the equivalent of 51 years. “The fight to keep invasive plants off our land is never ending,” said Seal. “The battle is extremely time consuming and expensive. After a day of invasive species control, I look around and see what is coming at us from the roadways, our neighbors’ properties, and the waterways. It’s a frustrating, never ending cost in time and dollars.” Seal sees the need for everyone to participate in the endeavor to control invasive species if Hoosiers want their diverse native species to remain. Controlling invasive species is made even more difficult by the fact that many plant stores in Indiana still sell several invasive plant species. Landowners are unknowingly furthering the problem of invasive species by planting them. “More than 95 percent of those surveyed supported removing invasive plants from commercial trade,” said Jacquart. “The State is currently exploring a rule that would do just that.” The Invasive Plant Advisory Committee was created in September 2010 to help the Indiana Invasive Species Council work on invasive plant issues in the state. Chaired by Ellen Jacquart, the committee is working on updating Indiana’s Invasive Plant List and on a pilot implementation of Best Management Practices designed to decrease the movement and spread of invasive species.
