by Brent Swan On Oct. 18 inside the Honeywell Center’s Legacy Hall, Fred Squires and Thermafiber were honored at the 71st annual Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Dinner. During the meeting, emceed by Bill Konyha, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, members and guests were treated to a meal prepared by Honeywell Center Executive Chef Harry Kilmer before a performance by the Wabash High School’s Symphonic Voices choir. “They are civic leaders,” Konyha said of Thermafiber. “One of our local businesses, Midwestern Pallet, had a fire that caused their production to be at risk. Thermafiber employees rolled up their sleeves and pitched in so they could get back

into production as soon as they could. I want to thank them for being such great corporate citizens.” Thermafiber President and CEO Steve Edris accepted the award on behalf of Thermafiber’s 160 employees, saying each employee played a part in the company’s success. “I have had the privilege of being with this company and these people for over 26 years, the last 10 as president and CEO. We’re a pretty humble group and might not know how to react and properly accept these praises and accolades,” Edris said. “Much like the insulation we make, which is hiding behind a wall, sight unseen; it is providing considerable value day in and day out. Our employees are also hard at work without much fanfare creating qual-

ity products for our customers.” Edris went on to say that even though Thermafiber was not established in name until 1996, the company can trace its roots back to 1934 when the factory was first built. The facility was created in 1934 when Brigadier General Robert Wood and Michael Luery selected the Wabash site due to the availability of Mississinewa Shale Limestone, which was used to make rock wool insulation. In 1959, the business was sold to United States Gypsum, which operated the Wabash facility until 1996 when it was sold to a private group of investors. The name of the company was then changed to Thermafiber, a wellknown brand owned by the company. According to Edris, the company was honored 40 years ago when United States Gypsum was honored by the Wabash Chamber of Commerce as Business of the Year. The company has seven employees currently working at Thermafiber who were active in 1972. Following the Business of the Year presentation, Steve Ford spoke to the crowd about the 2012 Wabash County Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Citizen recipient. In his speech, Ford said that this year’s Distinguished Citizen was a man who by all accounts is a “people person.” “This person’s life story to date demonstrates great interest in, and a true depth of, caring about Wabash and all its citizens,” Ford said. “We believe this person’s life journey is what keeps their ever-ready smile lit and the twinkle in the eyes almost present.” While keeping the announcement a secret, Ford went on to describe the Distinguished Citizen as one who graduated from Purdue University with a (continued on page 8)

Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program (SURE) sign-up period for 2011 crop losses begins Oct. 22

Farm Service Agency State Executive Director Julia A. Wickard today announced the sign-up period for the 2011 crop year Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program (SURE) will open October 22, 2012 and end June 7, 2013. The

SURE Program authorizes assistance to farmers who suffered crop losses caused by natural disasters occurring through September 30, 2011. “Although the 2008 Farm Bill expired on September 30, 2012, the SURE Program is available for 2011 crop

year losses,” said Wickard. “This is one of the very few FSA programs available to producers due to the lapse of authorized programs. Any eligible producer who suffered losses during the 2011 crop year is encouraged to visit the FSA office to learn more about the SURE program and how to apply.” Production losses due to disasters occurring after September

30, 2011, are not eligible for disaster program coverage, as the disaster provisions of the Farm Bill expired on that date. To be eligible for SURE, a farm must have: At least a 10-percent production loss on a crop of economic significance; A policy or plan of insurance under the Federal Crop Insurance Act or the Noninsured Crop

Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for all economically significant crops; Been physically located in a county that was declared a primary disaster county or contiguous county by the Secretary of Agriculture under a Secretarial Disaster Designation. Without a Secretarial Disaster Designation, individual producers may be eligible if the actual production on the farm

is less than 50 percent of the normal production on the farm due to a natural disaster. A “farm” for SURE purposes means the entirety of all crop acreage in all counties that a producer planted or intended to be planted for harvest for normal commercial sale or onfarm livestock feeding, including native and improved grassland intended for haying. Producers considered socially disadvan-

taged, a beginning farmer, or a limited resource farmer may be eligible for SURE without a policy or plan of insurance or NAP coverage. For more information on the 2011 SURE program, including Secretarial Disaster Designations, contact your local FSA office or visit the FSA website a t www.fsa.usda.gov/sure .

General Manager joins new health and wellness center Chris Newport to lead Wellbrooke of Wabash

Wellbrooke of Wabash, the new Center for Health and Wellness under con-

struction southeast of the intersection of Alber Street and U.S. 24, has tapped Chris Newport to run the freestanding residential apartments and care suites. Newport will oversee the startup of the center and lead advance marketing and community relations efforts from temporary offices in downtown Wabash at 58 West Market Street. Newport comes to Wellbrooke from Vantage House, a senior living community, managed by Life Care Services, an LCS Company in Columbia, Md., where he served as administrator. Under his leadership, Vantage House was rated one of the best nursing homes in the state of Maryland in 2011 by U.S. News and World Report and the community maintained a five-star rating for the last three years. “We are extremely

pleased to have Chris Newport join Wellbrooke of Wabash,” says Jonathan Cook, Director of O p e r a t i o n s Management for Life Care Services. “At age 15, he began his career in the dining services department of a Life Care Services continuing care retirement community in Terre Haute. He has always believed in our commitment to residentcentered service and hospitality. Now all these years later, he is returning to Indiana to lead these philosophies at Wellbrooke of Wabash and to create integral relationships with community peers such as Living Well in Wabash County.” Opening in January 2013, Wellbrooke is an innovative approach to the design and delivery of health care services for a

The handsomely appointed design and hotel-like environment will be comfortable and engaging with concierge-style services and amenities such as four different dining venues and private and public areas with fireplaces. Wabash County Hospital recently announced it would close the Skilled CareCenter, which has operated on its third floor since 1990. Officials from the hospital and Wellbrooke have been working together to assist relocation of the hospital’s current skilled nursing residents to the new health and wellness center when it opens on John Kissinger Drive. Wellbrooke is also offering employment to staff of the former Skilled CareCenter.

Wabash County Sheriff’s Department welcome K-9 Andy to the team By Ashley Flynn Deputy Ben Mota showed off his new police service dog in a press release on Oct. 16. Earlier this year, Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land authorized the implementation of a new K-9 program for the Wabash County Sheriff Department. They were able to raise approximately $10,000 in donations and grants from local businesses. The department had been without a K-9 program for more than two years and relied on other local law enforcement organizations whenever K-9 services were needed. Deputy Mota volunteered for the position. He attended the sixweek K-9 training course for narcotic detection dogs at Vohne Liche Kennels in Miami County. According to Mota’s press release, Vohne Liche Kennels has trained police and military service dogs for over 5,000 law enforcement and government agencies including the National Security Agency, Pentagon Police, U.S. State Department and the U.S. Army. Deputy Mota completed the training with his K-9 partner Andy, a 1-year-old Dutch Shepherd bred in Germany that Deputy Mota picked out specifically. “I wanted a dog that was eager to work and had enough energy to meet the needs of the county. I wanted a dog with a strong drive to work. The dog I chose has a ton of energy,” Deputy Mota told The Paper of Wabash County. K-9 Andy was trained in narcotic detection, general obedience and human

tracking. She continues training two hours every week, which usually takes place with the other police service dogs in the community. They practice finding narcotics in residences and vehicles. While searching for narcotics, K-9 Andy gives certain clues to Deputy Mota. “We look for a change in behavior. It’s different from dog to dog, and we have to

learn what the behavior change is,” said Deputy Mota. K-9 Andy has assisted in 11 arrests since she began service in mid August. She also goes to local schools and organizations to build public relations and educate the community about the K-9 program. Not only do K-9 Andy and Deputy Mota work together, but they also live together.

Current ICMC directors, Dean Eppley, Mike Shuter and David Gottbrath, return to the board to serve another term. Eppley, from

Hoosier corn farmers will join the Indiana Corn Marketing Council (ICMC) board of directors in November to help direct programs that drive the success of the corn industry within the state. In addition to these new directors, three Hoosier corn farmers were re-elected to serve another term on the board during

Shuter, from Frankton, represents District 5, which includes Grant, Howard, Tipton, Clinton, Hamilton, Madison, Hancock, Rush, Decatur, Bartholomew, Shelby, Marion, Johnson, Morgan, Hendricks, and Boone counties. Shuter currently serves as president of

ICMC. Gottbrath, from Pekin, represents District 8, which includes Monroe, Brown, Lawrence, Jackson, Washington, Orange, Crawford, Harrison, Floyd, and Perry counties. ICMC works on behalf of corn farmers in Indiana who contribute to the corn checkoff. The ICMC Board of Directors is responsible for the investment of those checkoff funds. Under its five-year strategic plan, ICMC has

focused on five major initiatives to help enhance the value of corn for Hoosier farmers. The main areas of investment are grain marketing, livestock, biofuels, production research and environmental programs, and new use innovation. The recently elected farmer directors will begin serving on the ICMC board of directors in November 2012 and will serve a threeyear term.

With the help of legislators and state employees who have won awards for costcutting ideas, Governor Mitch Daniels ceremonially burned the mortgages of 10 state facilities on Oct. 17, including the Government Center South and North buildings, announcing the buildings have been paid

off with bond reduction payments totaling $147 million. Since January 2005, the state has reduced its outstanding debt from $3.6 billion to $1.7 billion, a decrease of more than 50 percent. Indiana’s debt situation – the third lowest debt per capita for state governments — is in stark contrast to other states struggling with their fiscal conditions. “In recent years, the total debt level for all other states has increased by 35 percent, and that doesn’t

count their massive unfunded pensions burden,” said Daniels. “Here in Indiana, by cutting our debt more than half, we have freed up millions of future revenue for better uses, and told the job creators of the world that here is one place of low taxes and fiscal stability.” The governor thanked legislators and state employees who have achieved costs savings and efficiencies for taxpayers. Major contributors to the state’s debt reduction include:

services for state government employees Daniels said the most important contributions have come from the day-in, dayout ideas of state employees, such as combining spending on common items to better leverage the state’s purchasing power, renegotiating contracts for products and services, and developing better billing and collection procedures. “We have diligently worked with the governor over the last eight years helping to spearhead the concept that our state must live within its means. That simple fiscal principle has made our state the envy of the nation,” said House Speaker Brian Bosma. “We will continue to lead with fiscal integrity and work with the next administration in reducing debt and making strategic investments.” State debt includes facilities such as buildings, prisons, hospitals and parks; state highway debt; Toll Road debt; payment delays to schools, universities and local governments; and Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The debt on these facilities in Indianapolis previously scheduled to be retired in 2015, has been retired early: Indiana Government (continued on page 5)

Meet your Local students receive Junior Achievement’s Our Community program Candidate set During the fall semester, local business and community leaders are visiting classrooms at Metro North and O.J. Neighbors to deliver relevant, fun, and hands-on experiences that give students knowledge and skills in financially literacy, work readiness, and e n t r e p r e n e u r s h i p. There are eight second-grade classrooms of students between Metro North and O.J. Neighbors that will benefit from JA’s Our Community. The mentors empower students to make a connection

between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world. They will visit the classroom to present sessions such as How Does a Community Work, Sweet “O” Donuts, The Role of Government, A New Business, and Money Moves. The Our Community program is one of many, from kindergarten through high school, provided by the local Junior Achievement Board of Directors in Greater Wabash. J u n i o r Achievement is a non-

profit organization financially supported by businesses, foundations, and individuals. The purpose of JA is to educate and inspire young people to succeed in a global economy. Throughout the program, students examine the responsibilities and opportunities available to those within a community. The goals of Our Community are to: Supplement the social studies curriculum with business and economics-related skills and concepts. Help students discov-

er a variety of occupations. Discover what elements are typically found in a community. Develop the students’ awareness of which businesses operate within the community. Increase the students’ understanding of how government works to support services for the well-being of its citizens. Heighten the students’ awareness of how citizens must take responsibility for the well-being of their community. Make the students aware of the importance of education for future career

development. J u n i o r Achievement could not have the impact they have on young people without the support of volunteers from the community. A special thank you to those serving as mentors: Dave Lloyd, Bachelor Creek Church of Christ; Shannon Shrider, Honeywell Center; Chrissy Chamberlain; Kerri Mattern, Wabash County Hospital; Tim Stiglich, Ford Meter Box; and Tonya Roser, Beacon Credit Union.

Wabash Marketplace creates Window Dressing Project downtown

In the interest of further beautifying downtown’s built environment and enlightening and educating passers-by, W a b a s h Marketplace’s Design Committee has initiated a Window Dressing Project in collaboration with local entities and benefactors. Displays will put several empty storefronts to use displaying art, quality merchandising, or historical and educational artifacts and narratives. The first window space to be offered was 240 S. Miami Street by the

owner, the Charley Creek Foundation, and is a display of canvasses from the Artistica and Wabash Hoosier Salon galleries. The next window to be dressed is at 49 W. Canal Street is a historic set design depicting river life of the 19th century from a local production of “Prairie Hen.” Jeannie Cooper, window dresser for Modoc’s Market, is managing the Canal St. display installation in cooperation with the Wabash County Historical Museum. Says Cooper, “It’s such a joy to have support

from the museum staff on these window dressing projects. Our mission is to increase awareness of local history and make a day downtown a fun, interactive, and informative experience.” Any downtown Wabash building owner with an empty front window can contribute to the improvement of d o w n t o w n ’ s streetscape. Owners or business managers with such space are encouraged to contact Wabash Marketplace at 260563-0975 to have a display installed at no

cost. Marketplace is grateful to the many generous benefactors who involved in the group effort of bringing these displays to the public, including

Center South, Indiana Government Center North, Senate Street Parking Garage, Washington Street Parking Garage, and White River State Park. The debt on these facilities was scheduled to be retired in 2020, but has been retired early: Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility and Rockville Correctional Facility. And the debt also has been retired on these facilities, previously scheduled for 2032 or 2033: McCarty Street Warehouse, Indianapolis, PEN Products Warehouse, Plainfield, and New Castle Correctional Facility Annex, New Castle. The state reduced the debt early because it was able to utilize current appropriations and surplus

funds, including savings from the refinancing of various bonds. Even after these repayments, the Office of Management and Budget is forecasting fiscal year-end reserves in excess of $2 billion again next June. The actions eliminate about $68 million that otherwise would have needed to be spent in the 2014-15 budget, in addition to nearly $125 million that would have needed to be spent between 2016 and 2033. The effective interest rates on the McCarty Street Warehouse and PEN Products facility, entered about 10 years ago, were 16.2 percent and 14.9 percent, respectively. Other fiscal facts about Indiana: Indiana has maintained its first Triple-

A credit rating since being awarded in 2008, Indiana’s expenditures have grown at less than one-quarter of the rate of the previous decade, Indiana has the fewest state employees per capita in the country, Indiana has the third lowest debt per capita for state governments

(State Budget Solutions, August 2012), Indiana has the second lowest debt per private sector worker (State Budget Solutions), and Indiana has the third lowest debt as a percentage of gross domestic product (State Budget Solutions).

The scouts contacted Mr. Titus and let him know we could have at least eighteen volunteers for the clean up. He asked if we could meet him around 4:45 on Saturday at the Pavilion and he would have a plan. The boys helped move all of the trash receptacles to the north parking lot, gathered all of the tables and chairs, stacked them in the trailer and picked up all of the miscellaneous trash at the park.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE LIONS CLUB SPONSOR SIGNS that were on the holes of the Waldo Golf Course for the Urbana Lions Club’s first Golf Scramble on Sept. 29. The Golf Scramble was held to begin the fund raising campaign to put new lights on the Urbana ball field. The lights are the last big project planned for the ball field. Since the Urbana Lions club became owners of the Urbana ball field a few years ago they have added a new back stop, painted the fence, repaired and painted the dugouts, made a storage shed, and added a new score board. Without the support of businesses and individuals in the Urbana community, none of this would be possible. (photo provided)

MR. TAPS VISITED METRO NORTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on Wednesday, Oct. 10. Not only did Mr. Taps entertain the children with his tap dancing, but he also taught the children to tap dance. Mr. Taps has been honing his craft his entire life. His whimsical style has inspired Sammy Davis, Jr. The program was sponsored by the Honeywell Center and their Educational Outreach Partners. More pictures can be found on the Metro North Elementary Facebook page. (photo provided) tion. Hostess Linda Collins presented the program for the meeting. Linda’s presentation was about Tasha Tudor, artist, author and illustrator. Tasha’s favorite time period was in the early 1800’s, up to about 1830. She patterned her lifestyle after the lifestyle of the early settlers, using tools of that time, farming methods and home life of that time, as well. She loved to go barefoot and spent most of the year with no shoes. She, also, had no modern conveniences in her home, such as no electricity, no running water, and no modern heating or cooling systems. Tasha farmed using the early settlers’ methods of farming. Linda read several excerpts from Tasha’s book, “The Primitive World of Tasha Tudor.” After the program, Linda served refreshments, assisted by her guest, Norma Jean Bechtol. Members brought food items for the Lagro Community Church Food Pantry.

At the end of the meeting she had us place our papers next to each other in a grid, revealing how, although different, they made an artistic “whole”. Tami carried on the meeting, calling for the roll call, Secretary’s Report and the Treasurer’s Report. Roll call was answered by sharing the name of your favorite movie or book. T h e Secretary/Treasurer’ s report was approved as read. As there was no old business to discuss, the new business was the election of officers for the year 2013. The results of the election were Arlene Wolfgang, President; Carolyn Hegel, VicePresident; and Glynna Harmon, Secretary/Treasurer. Committees for Program, Historian and Card were approved by acclama-

Southwood’s second-half surge ends in sectional win

Southwood Fremont

By Gary Andrews For one half Friday night, it looked as though the winter sports practices would get an early start for Southwood. In the second half, the Southwood football team showed they are going to be a tough out. After falling behind 12-0 at the half on a rainy night and on a muddy field, the Knights regrouped to come out and play smash mouth football in the second half, dominating Fremont in a comeback 20-12 win. Fremont was driving early in the first quarter when Isaac Peebles picked off a

20 12

pass to stop the drive. After a failed Knight possession, Fremont was at it again, this time scoring with 3:09 left to take a 6-0 lead. Not being able to move the ball, the Knights went three and out, being forced to punt. Fremont would block the Robbie Cole punt with the ball flying straight up and in to the arms of a defender, who raced 30 yards for the end zone to give the Eagles a 120 with 1:41 to go. With the initial shock over, the Knight defense tightened their belts, giving the offense opportunities to narrow the gap. With 3:36 to go, the

Squires fall in sectional opener

Manchester 26 North Judson 6

By Eric Christianson In the first 39 seconds of their sectional game with North Judson, the Manchester High School football team recovered a fumble and scored a play later to lead 6-0. Unfortunately for the Squires, despite a strong defensive performance, the offense never saw the end zone again in a 26-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

“We got off to a great start,” Manchester coach Brandon Baker said. “The defense played great all night.” The Blue Jays started the game on their own 19, but on the first play from scrimmage, they fumbled and Manchester’s Codi Hutchinson recovered on the 14 yards line. On Manchester’s

THE SOUTHWOOD OFFENSE RECEIVES a play during the Knights’ 20-12 come-from-behind win at home against Fremont Friday. Nathan Hollars scored a pair of rushing touchdowns in the victory. (photo by Gary Andrews) Knights were in Fremont territory at the 40. Two personal fouls on Fremont moved the ball to the 12. The Knights would have to settle for a field goal attempt that was no good, giving the ball back to Fremont. With 1:48 to go, Peebles would get his second interception, giving the Knights the ball on the 46. The Knights would run out the clock and trailed 12-0 at the half.

Coming out of the locker room motivated, the Knights moved the ball down the field when Nathan Hollars broke loose from 29 yards out with 9:13 to score and cut the lead in half at 12-6. A Zach Hobson kick made it 12-7. One minute later, Austin Schlemmer would recover a Fremont fumble on the Eagle 21 with 8:14 remaining. The Knights would stall on their

opportunity, giving the ball back on the 10yard line. After holding Fremont, Hollars would break loose again from 28 yads out, but the scored was called back because of a penalty. A couple of plays later, Robbie Cole was picked off at the 20 to stall the drive with 3:36 to go. The quarter ended with Fremont leading 12-7. The Knight defense would hold again,

forcing Fremont to punt to start the fourth quarter. With the Knights driving and needing a first down, Robbie Cole used a hard count to draw the Eagles off side, giving the Knights a first down at the 50. With 8:55 to go, the Knights were forced to punt. After the punt, Fremont fumbled the snap with Josh Mullet recovering on the 29 to give the Knights life. After

a couple Hollars runs, Cole hit Jordan Boyer to the 12. After a two-yard loss, Cole connected with Ryan Skeens for a 14 yard scoring strike and with a Zach Hobson extra point led 14-12 with 7:10 left. Both teams would stall on their next possessions with a Cole punt backing the Eagles up to their own 20 with 4:04 remaining. With time slipping

first play from scrimmage, quarterback Jim Sainsbury found Brodi Carter for a 10 yard touchdown strike to give the Squires a 60 lead with 11:21 left in the first quarter. Continuing with the momentum, the Squires stopped North Judson with a three and out, and then moved the ball on the ground. Taking over on their own 28 yard line, Manchester used 10 straight running plays and one dump pass to get the ball to the 34 yard line. But it was on the 12th play of the drive, momentum changed. North Judson’s Zach Schultz picked off Sainsbury and took the ball 90 yards

to the Squire six yard line. Four plays later, on a fourth and one, quarterback Caston Sanchez scored on a keeper to tie things up at 6-6. “That pick was a huge momentum swing,” Baker said. “It brought them back to life.” The Squires were forced to punt on their next drive, but instead went for a fake punt to Lucas Schilling, but he was stopped. The Blue Jays took the lead three minutes later in the second quarter on a 13 yard touchdown pass from Sanchez to David Jachim for a 12-6 North Judson lead. Meanwhile, the Squires failed to se-

cure a first down in the second quarter, despite playing tough defense, with Carter blocking a punt, and Chris Eubank recovering on North Judson’s next possession. The Squires failed to move the ball on their next drive, but Cody Harlan did his part on defense, picking off Sanchez late in the half to stop the North Judson scoring threat. At halftime, Baker and his staff made adjustments to the offense, and they were able to move the ball in the third quarter. “We made the same adjustments we did against Northfield,” Baker said. “They were doing the same thing Northfield did

by bringing pressure off the ends. We just couldn’t get to the hole fast enough to get by them.” The Squires were able to move the ball to the North Judson 26 yard line to open the second half, but failed to convert a fourth down play and gave the ball back to the Blue Jays. North Judson ate up seven minutes of the clock, but after a 13 play drive, were forced to punt. The Squires were also forced to punt early in the fourth quarter, and North Judson took control of the game. Using another long drive of 13 plays, Schultz plowed into the end zone with 5:52

left for a 20-6 Blue Jay lead. With the clock now a second opponent for the Squires, Manchester had to force the issue on offense. Sainsbury went to the air, but was intercepted on the first play of the drive by Tyler Tunis. “We had to try to make things happy by doing some things we aren’t very good at,” Baker said. “We had to try to throw it to score quickly, and that doesn’t play into our strength. We went for a couple of fourth downs to try and score as well, and gave them field position.” Mavrick Pitts gave North Judson a 26-6 lead with 3:27 left on

VolleyKnights 6-peat at sectionals Southwood’s volleyball team survives Norse scare, bests Oak Hill in Sectional 37 title match By J.D. Sparks After surviving a scare and blowing past Oak Hill in the finals, Southwood’s volleyball team earned its sixth-straight IHSAA 2A Volleyball Sectional 37 title. “It’s incredible,” Tom Finicle, the VolleyKnight Head Coach, said. “It’s a great accomplishment for our kids. Whether you win six straight or two or one, it’s just a great accomplishment. I’m happy for the school and I’m happy for the kids.” Southwood dominated Oak Hill in the finals match 25-11, 2514, 27-29 and 25-6, but only after surviving a scare against Three Rivers Conference and Metropolitan School District rival Northfield earlier in the day. Northfield burst out to a two-game lead in a

best-of-five format, 2523, 26-24. Southwood answered the challenge and won the next three 25-50, 25-23 and 15-9. “We didn’t take care of the ball and they were good,” Finicle said about the match. “We didn’t play inspired volleyball and they did. We struggled with a lot of internally manipulated pressures and we came out scared to death of Northfield and they obliged us. “They didn’t hesitate and they shouldn’t have. They’re well drilled. They’re well coached. They’re a good team and thank God we were able to survive and keep going.” Finicle said Kaytlin Murphy helped turn the sectional semifinals match around. “I thought she, by far, provided the biggest lift,” he said. “We weren’t playing with inspiration and we weren’t taking care of the ball and she was (continued on page 29)

Rochester, Howdeshell bounce Apaches

Rochester’s Alex Howdeshell ran for four touchdowns, ending the Apache football team’s season Friday at Alumni Field. Wabash fell to Rochester in an IHSAA Class 2A Football Sectional 26 opener, 43-0. Rochester scored 16 first-quarter points and another 27 in the second, then coasted during the second half for the 43-0 victory. Howdeshell scored on runs of 69 and 30 yards in the first quarter. Tyler Brewer had a big run in the first quarter of 46 yards around the four-minute mark, but the Apaches couldn’t find the end zone. In the second quarter, Justin Holley picked off a Jon O’dell pass, but Wabash gave the ball right back. The Apache football team waves good-bye to seniors Jordan Conner, Tommy McElveen, Nathan Height, Brewer, Caleb Hipskind, Chris Reid, Devin Bitzel and Justin Holley.

By J.D. Sparks Norse running back Alec Wells scored on a 64-yard touchdown run on Northfield’s first offensive play Friday and didn’t look back. Wells blew through Central Noble in Northfield’s 60-22 IHSAA Class A Football Sectional 35 firstround victory Friday for seven touchdowns

and 284 yards on 11 carries. In fact, the Norse dominated on the ground, gaining 532 total rushing yards, compared to Central Noble’s 219 yards of total offense. Wells scored a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter and Austin Curless added a 35-yard scoring run, helping the Norse to a 20-6 lead. The second quarter, however, is when Wells erupted. He added touchdown runs of 80, 23 and 31 yards, putting the Norse up 39-14 at the

half. Touchdown No. 6 came with 7:24 left in the third quarter from 74 yards away from the end zone. His seventh came after a Central Noble score at the 4:21 mark. He sprinted into the end zone from 32 yards away, helping set the score at 53-22 going into the fourth quarter. Shane Vigar added the final score of the game on a 30-yard run 10 seconds into the final quarter, putting the final at 60-22. Following Wells performance was Curless, who ran for 52 yards

on four carries. Vigar added 89 yards on nine carries and Andy Roser ran the ball eight times for 74 yards. With his performance, Roser eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on the season. With the win, the Norse (4-6) snapped a two-game losing streak and will advance to the Sectional 35 semifinals, hosting Three Rivers Conference opponent North Miami (7-3). The Warriors bested LaVille 52-0 Friday at home.

Four people injured in three-vehicle crash

Oct. 18, at approximately 2:25 p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police, the Grant County Sheriff ’s Department, and the Converse Police Department responded to a threevehicle crash on State Road 18 at State Road 13, which injured four people. A preliminary crash investigation by Master Trooper Randy Renbarger revealed that Kimberly Schrank, 45, Batesville, was driving a 2003 Chrysler minivan northbound on State Road 13.

Schrank allegedly failed to stop for a stop sign at State Road 18. The Chrysler pulled into the path of an eastbound Freightliner semitractor, pulling a box trailer. The semi struck the Chrysler in the driver’s side causing the minivan to spin into the path of a westbound 2000 Jeep. The Jeep driven by Pamela Green, 48, Converse, also hit the minivan. The Freightliner was driven by Randy Townsend, 36, Hartford City.

Schrank was transported by ambulance to Marion General Hospital with a complaint of pain to her hip, neck, head, and chest. Three passengers in the Chrysler, Cameron McNutt, 7, Riley McNutt, 5, and Faith Schrank, 11, were all transported by ambulance to Marion General Hospital, with complaint of pain to various body parts. Faith Schrank also suffered a cut to her face. Townsend and Green were not injured. All drivers and passengers in this crash

were properly restrained with seat belts which Master Trooper Renbarger believes reduced the severity of the injuries. Kimberly Schrank was issued a citation for failure to yield to cross traffic. Master Trooper Renbarger was assisted at the crash scene by Master Motor Carrier Inspector Darryl Braene, Master Trooper Joe Swisher, the Converse Fire Department, and the Sweetser Fire Department.

Albright defends Mourdock Squires fall... Dear Editor, The recent editorial by the person favoring Donnelly, Democrat, was most helpful and enlightening. The reader was presented with an all out, full frontal assault on candidate Mourdock to include personal attacks on the man, followed by the highly anticipated, always present, liberal, angry-rhetoric accusations of “extreme and radical.” I strongly feel that

the writer only missed two key accusations in his attack on candidate Mourdock, which would of course be the accusations of hatred and racism. I’m left to conclude that these words must have been edited for content, or been inadvertently forgotten by the writer. I was however not disappointed by the fact that somehow after four years of liberal rule we are still supposed to blame

bailout was the turning point for me.

we weren’t taking care of the ball and she was an instant lift for the team. We were able to get rolling a little bit after that.” After the VolleyKnights survived Northfield, Oak Hill waited for them in the finals. The Golden Eagles swept Manchester earlier in the day, 25-8, 2515, 25-15.

Other than falling in the fourth game, the VolleyKnights handled Oak Hill without much of a problem, 2511, 25-14, 27-29, 25-6. “We were able to take care of ball and put ourselves in situations to execute on offense and defense,” Finicle said. “Our serving really dictated the tempo of the match early and

that allowed us to do the things we wanted to do on offense. We handled the transition situations well and we took care of the ball.” Finicle said Jordan Vielee’s service really impacted the match. “She came in and did a really good job and gave us a really big push in the second and fourth games,” he continued.

“She came in and impacted the match with some long service runs.” Vielee had 15 service points and five aces to go with four digs. Finicle also felt his front-row of Lexi Brickner (11 kills, three solo blocks), Emily Murphy (16 kills, one block), Drew Rhamy (12 kills), and

one pass for eight yards, Isaac Peebles two for 20 yards, Jordan Boyer one for 12 yards and Ryan Skeens one for 14 yards and one touchdown. Zach Hobson had two extra points.

Southwood, winners of three straight and 3-7 overall, will play at Adams Central (6-4) Friday.

continued from page 22

Kaley Harness (11 kills, five aces, 14 digs) played well “They all had double-digit kills,” he said. “Those four kids who predominately play up there all played well. (Setter) Amy Bowman (nine service points, three aces, 36 assists) distributed the ball well, too.” The VolleyKnights (24-12) play at Clinton Central (25-10) Oct. 23. The winner advances to the Bremen Semistate to play either Westview (2410) or Adams Central

(21-8) at 11 a.m. The finals match at

TeenServe kickoff meeting Oct. 28

By Ashley Flynn Next summer hundreds of teens will

come to Wabash County to serve the community.

RICHARD AND MARJORIE (HAWKINS) SPARLING will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on Oct. 28, 2-4 p.m. with an open house at Christ United Methodist Church. Richard and Marjorie were married Nov. 7, 1947 at Central EUB Parsonage with Reverend F.I Wilmert officiating. Richard is a retired farmer and he retired from the post office after 25 years as a rural carrier. Marjorie is a retired cook and homemaker. They are member of Christ United Methodist Church and Richard is a member of the Richvalley Lions Club. The couple has three children, Ron (Lavonne) Sparling, Lagro, Craig (Monica) Sparling, Lagro, and Joyce (Bill) Gentry, Indianapolis. Grandchildren are Kale (Emily) Sparling, Julie (Dukengtson) Lavache, Kami (Scott) Ross and the late Casey Sparling. Great grandchildren are Christian and Drew Shoemaker, Finn Sparling and Chase Ross.

TeenServe, a nonprofit corporation that organizes weeklong mission trips for teens and adults to provide free home improvements to residents in need, will come to Wabash next July. About 300 teens from all over the county will participate, and they will stay in the Wabash Middle School. Participants will work on approximately 75 houses throughout the week doing general maintenance work such as painting, drywall, roofing, installing wheelchair ramps and fixing steps. Afternoons are available for free time or youth group time. Dinners will be served, and there will be a keynote speaker and band each night. Wednesday of that week, the participants will work a half-day and have the opportunity to explore the community and eat at local restaurants. TeenServe is beneficial for everyone involved. The community receives free work and the teens

learn new skills while serving others. “We believe that the defining moment in the spiritual walk of many teenagers is the opportunity to serve others. This helps teens move from ‘What does the church have for me?’ to ‘I am the church.’ At each work camp and serve camp the participants put their faith into action by serving people in need. The focus is on others instead of ourselves,” says the TeenServe website. Larry Vaughn, a youth director at C h r i s t i a n Missionary Alliance in Wabash, took his youth group to a TeenServe mission in Iowa a few years ago. They held a meeting for adults about bringing TeenServe to their communities. “We left the meeting saying there’s no way. It’s too big,” Larry told The Paper of Wabash County. Last October Larry’s pastor preached on building bridges in the community, and around the same time Larry received an email

and answer questions. This is an opportunity for interested community members to find out how they can help. Interested homeowners are also welcome to come if they are interested on getting work done on their home.

from the TeenServe director about bringing the program to Wabash. “I knew it wasn’t a coincidence so we starting pursuing it, and it’s going to happen,” said Larry. Now, about a year later, the plans are starting to come together. There is no application process for the program to come to Wabash, but there are finances involved. “We have applied for a grant through the Wabash County Foundation, and we will found out about that in Nov.” said Larry.

Dyson chooses Romney

Dear editor, I may not be well versed in the arena of politics, but I do know right from wrong and I can distinguish good from bad. That is what I feel we have to choose from in the upcoming election. Psalm 127:1 echoes a warning to the nations and peoples who believe that God has no place where the interest of our countries are concerned: “Unless the Lord builds the house they labor in vain who built it. Unless the Lord Guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.” If a country is void of God’s favor the issues fought and debated over are

moot points. As I see it, one presidential candidate plans to build our nation with the Lord; the other to shut Him out. One has an agenda to restore what America has lost; the other to crush its foundation and build a new one where public services (school, health care, etc.) may be free, but the people will be enslaved to a government that owns everything and has the power to choose who does and doesn’t receive these services. One candidate is clearly for America; the other shows little or no respect for the American flag nor its servicemen and women, and has a

questionable, wellhidden past (see any red flags waving yet?). I believe 9/11 was a wake-up call for America. Are we listening? Have we lost God’s favor and protection? After all we have asked Him time and time again to leave (no more prayer in school, graduations, sporting events, Christmas crèches and the 10 commandments are labeled unconstitutional, attempts to wipe His name from our currency, etc.). There is a solution for the mess we’ve made, and it’s found in the Bible. “If My people who are called by my name will humble them-

selves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land” II Chronicles 7:14. I urge you to think seriously about who you want leading our country and then get out the vote. Me? I’m voting for Mr. Romney. Sue Dyson Roann

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAVID IDLE, 66, from Jennifer Joyce Cindy, Manchester Mike’s, Becky, Diane, Beth, Sheilia, Nancy, Randalyn, Susie, Diana, Bobby, Ted, Kendall, Gary and Steve.

AS A PART OF PROJECT SPOTLIGHT, Beacon Credit Union donated a total of $1,750 to 85 Hope, The Life Center and The Access Street Level Ministries. 85 Hope received $1,000, The Life Center received $500, and The Access received $250. Pictured are (from left) Jill Sharp, the Beacon Marketing Assistant, Cheryl Meyer, Executive Director of The Life Center, Liz Hicks, Executive Director of The Access, Laura Helm, Executive Director of 85 Hope, Drew Callahan, the Wabash Beacon Branch Manager, and Shelby Schuh, the Beacon Marketing Officer. Project Spotlight 2012 began in April when Beacon asked community members from Wabash to nominate charitable organizations they felt deserved a funding gift from our credit union. In July, Beacon narrowed the list of nominees down to these three finalists and in August and September, community members vote for their favorite project either online or in Beacon branches. Nearly 300 community members participated. The voting ended Sept. 30. (photo by J.D. Sparks)

DNR seeks harvest, reporting of ear-tagged deer

The Department of Natural Resources is advising hunters to be on the lookout for ear-tagged deer in Jackson County and the neighboring counties of B a r t h o l o m e w, Jennings and Scott, and to harvest them if possible. Hunters who harvest an ear-tagged

deer in these counties or anywhere else in Indiana are asked to immediately call DNR Law Enforcement at (812) 837-9536. Anyone who strikes and kills an ear-tagged deer with a vehicle is asked to call the same number. The focus on the four-county area is due to farm-raised

deer that escaped from a captive cervid facility whose owner is cooperating with DNR. The deer may have been exposed to chronic wasting disease at a captive facility in another state before being transferred to Indiana. The DNR and the Indiana Board of Animal Health need to obtain

the escaped eartagged deer to conduct disease testing. Of particular interest are any deer with a yellow ear tag bearing the prefix IN 764 followed by another four numbers or any deer with a yellow ear tag and two numbers on it. DNR staff will assist in transporting

and societies go in cycles, phases, as do humans, but it all remains basically the same. History verifies this. Mourdock has an excellent management record, whereas Obama and constituents have indebted America for a century, spending more than all previous presidents combined. Obama adheres to Saul Alinsky’s principles, which adhered to Joe Stalin’s principles. Socialism does not work, never did, never will according to “The 20 Worst Living Dictators,” by

D a v i d Wallenchinsky. The GM and other bailouts only saved jobs temporarily, and shouldn’t have occurred. They should’ve sold the business to someone who knew how to responsibly manage. Many or most banks didn’t need a bailout, but were forced to take one anyway. If you or I waste our money, it’s on our account, not the taxpayers’. It was a temporary fix with long term, disastrous results. Bush didn’t spend a fifth of what Obama has spent. Bush did, however, castrate our Constitution, our rights and liberties, with the Patriot Act, Homeland Security and other measures, which put the ball in Obama’s court to finish freedom off. The Obama Health Care plan will likely destroy at least five or six Amendments, and finish off capitalism. We need moderate conservatives, but Donnelly isn’t one of those. To call the Tea Parties radical in a bad sense is to thumb your nose at conservative principles, the Constitution, and God Almighty. Our money problems are rooted in Alexander Hamilton’s banking program and the old Federalists’ policies, as Thomas Jefferson noted. The world bankers are pulling

our government’s strings, as they’ve done almost from the start. They tried to murder Andrew Jackson for opposing them. Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex, the war machine that makes the greedy richer and greedier. JFK tried to stop the Federal Reserve Bank, a civilian company that dictates much of Washington’s policies. He was murdered before he could, the likely reason. In deference to Obama supporter’s thoughts, such as that some of us read too far into Obama’s and other presidents’ policies, and just think they’re trying to destroy America, I say: anything that could even ever be used to subvert what America is founded upon, needs to be discarded. Concerning the thought that Tea Parties and Militias are radical, I say two main things: Right on, we need to be radical, in that we are extremely zealous of conservative values, and; our founding fathers were radical, for conservative values and against the tyranny of a monarchy (England). An absolute monarchy differs little from a dictatorship. Right now, many of Obama’s policies have the earmarks of a monarchy, at least. If you read your history, you will see that there is one major difference between pre-Revolution America and America now: they were on the verge of gaining their freedom, liberty and rights, whereas we are on the verge of losing ours. If you drive a vehicle, you always use basic fundamentals. If you race one and discard the basic fundamentals, you will crash. Todd Slee Roann

Indiana Conservation Officers investigate hunting accident in Noble County I n d i a n a Conservation Officers investigated a hunting accident that occurred Oct. 19 in Noble Co. At approximately 4 p.m., Oct. 19, 57 year-old Terry Tester, Albion, was injured as a result of falling from his tree stand. At the time of the accident Mr. Tucker was climbing into his tree stand for an evening deer hunt. Just after placing his weight onto the platform of the tree stand, the two metal cables, holding the platform out away from the tree and parallel with the ground, both snapped in half at once. As a result of the cables breaking Mr. Tester fell approximately 17 feet to the ground. He never lost consciousness and was able to retrieve his cell phone from his pocket and call 911 almost immediately. Once on scene emergency personnel transported him by ambulance to Parkview Whitley Hospital in Columbia City for treatment of a non-life threatening but serious hip injury. Emergency personnel that responded to the scene of the accident included the Noble County Sheriff ’s Department, Noble County EMS, and members of the Noble Township Volunteer Fire Department.

Thornton opposes state Herrold opposes Bennett’s merit pay plan control of education Dear editor, Tony Bennett likes to boast of how he has brought “merit pay” to Indiana’s schools. Here is how it really works: A new teacher earns around $29,000 annually. Since Bennett took away pay increases for additional degrees and years of service, that teacher will still be making $29,000 in 40 years. Unless effective teachers earn the highest designation of “highly effective” by an administrator – on a very subjective evaluation rubric (i.e. stan-

dard of performance for a defined population) imposed upon the schools by Bennett, they will never earn anything but their base of $29,000, and even then, only if their school happens to have funding for it, not likely in these times of slashing budgets for public schools while giving millions to charters and for-profits. Teachers fortunate enough to earn “merit pay” one year will lose it and must re-earn it the next year. My son’s first teacher contract in 1985 was for

$18,000. Under Bennett’s plan, he would still be making $18,000 today, plus, assuming he had been deemed “highly effective” instead of merely “effective,” paltry merit stipend. How could teachers afford even their school loans? Unless you think Bennett’s “merit pay” plan will bring great teacher to Indiana, vote for Glenda Ritz for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Ruth E. Herrold Greenwood

Dear editor, The recent call by State Superintendent Dr. Tony Bennett for his takeover of school districts and subsequent assignment of those school districts to private management companies should be cause for concern by all citizens and parents across Indiana. Several reasons give cause for rejecting the plan. Since taking legislative action to remove the school General Fund from local tax sources and instead inadequately fund it from the additional

& " $ $ #

one percent state sales tax increase enacted at the same time, state leaders including Dr. Bennett have increased their demands on local school districts and have stood silently by as significant cuts have become necessary to programs in our local schools. Simultaneously, funds going to the school voucher program have been dramatically increased, as has the emphasis on expanding charter schools. Local schools are now forced to seek referendum approval to meet student program needs. The State of Indiana, through Dr. Bennett’s office, has taken over several individual schools and has then assigned those schools to private contractors. To date, no definitive data has demonstrated that either approach has increased student achievement, the purported basis for all of the mandated changes. Though the campaign rhetoric would suggest that all

with locally elected board members. Indiana’s students have made significant gains in achievement. It is appropriate to recognize Dr. Suellen Reed’s impact on those gains along with Indiana Legislators and Governors who passed and implemented Indiana’s school accountability law nearly a decade ago. Higher rigor, more advanced courses, and tremendous work by local educators and parents along with hard working students made those gains possible. State takeover of local school districts will further enlarge the power and reach of state government. It will place control of schools too far from the moms and dads of our students. Centralized state control and power are not Hoosier values nor should they be presented as such. We must oppose this power grab – one that will negatively impact our children and our communities.

of these have been dramatically successful, no evidence exists to make that case. In fact, some reports suggest that the changes have had a negative effect, or no effect, on student learning and student experiences. The movement to state level control has been constant and entirely without regard to locally elected school board views. The experiment with the state controlled Department of Child Services has not served Indiana’s children well. Neither will Dr. Bennett’s takeover and reassignment of school districts to private companies. His tenure has a district administrator and as a Superintendent in Indiana provides no evidence of unique success in increasing student achievement and thus provides no evidence that he is wise in this regard beyond locally accountable and elected school board members. Governance of Indiana’s public schools should remain
