Wabash City Police Department, Wabash Drug Task Force, Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department and the Indiana State Police Excise were all involved in the investigation of recent burglaries and thefts. In the investigation, officers recovered stolen property from three of the burglaries, which included electronics, jewelry and firearms. The police departments used search warrants at two locations to recover the stolen property. In the first search warrant at 115 Manchester Ave., Wabash, a quantity of marijuana, K2 and drug paraphernalia was seized. Arrested at the residence were Eric Noland, 5477 S 400 W, Wabash, for possession of K2 and visiting a common nuisance, and Zachary Merrell, 115 Manchester Ave., Wabash, for possession of marijuana (over 30 grams), dealing marijuana and maintaining a common nuisance. In the second search warrant, at Plaza Mini Mart, offi-

Excise Officer and sent to the Indiana State Crime Lab for identification. The investigation is ongoing at this time. “We had to send

some evidence from Plaza Mini Mart off to the crime lab,” Wabash City Police Department Ryan Short said. “As of now, we’re waiting to

hear the results from some of the products we found.” Short went on to say that the depart(continued on page 6)

City of Wabash and Indiana American Water partner to build water storage tank Mayor Robert Va n l a n d i n g h a m recently announced that the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, Inc. is working with Indiana American Water Company on behalf of the City of Wabash to build a new water storage tank at the 242-acre Wabash Business Complex. According to Bill Konyha, president and CEO of the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County, Inc. (EDG), the new

water storage tower will increase storage capacity, pressure, and available fire flows in the area and will help to meet the water needs of new businesses locating in the Wabash Business Complex. “The investment by Indiana American Water Company is critical to the development of the Wabash Business Complex,” said Konyha. “The net effect of the project will be a more rapid creation of economic and employment

opportunities for the people and businesses of Wabash County.” We are very pleased to be working with Indiana American Water to bring outside investment to the Wabash Business Complex to supplement our efforts to gain a $1.8 million E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Administration grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce,” said M a y o r Va n l a n d i n g h a m . “This investment by

Indiana American Water, along with the $1 million already committed by the Main Street Wabash, residential rehabilitation and senior care facility project, are key to the success of this new business park. We expect an announcement soon regarding the EDA grant and we believe our application for these funds is very competitive.” According to Konyha, if the EDA grant is approved as submitted, the total

raised by the E c o n o m i c Development Group of Wabash County, Inc. to put the necessary infrastructure in place at the Wabash Business Complex totals approximately $6.3 million, during 2011. To help secure this investment by Indiana American Water, the EDG will support and recommend that the Wabash City Council grant a 10-year abatement of real property taxes. Konyha estimated the

value of the tax abatement at approximately $400,000 over the 10year abatement period. “Indiana American Water has always been an active, engaged partner with the City,” said Konyha. “They also happen to be the fifth largest taxpayer in the City of Wabash. We sincerely appreciate their support of and commitment to our community.” According to Brandon France, (continued on page 6)

STEVE PRIEST North Manchester Town Council candidates address upcoming election ELECT TO

by Shaun Tilghman, North Manchester News-Journal When residents of North Manchester go to the polls on Nov. 8, for the 2011 general election, District 4 will be the only contested race for Town Council. Steve Priest, an Independent candidate, is running against the incumbent, Chris Garber, who is a Democrat and the current Town Council president. North Manchester is governed by a fivemember Town Council, which includes a representative for each of the four districts as well as an at-large representative. Town

Council members serve on a part-time basis for four-year terms and are elected by town residents, who vote at-large rather than just for the district in which they reside. Priest, who lived briefly in Wabash before moving to North Manchester approximately 12 years ago, has a master’s degree in secondary education and is a substitute teacher for three school systems and also an adjunct professor for Ivy Tech. He filed on June 30 as an Independent for the upcoming election. “If I hadn’t made that decision, which involved asking my friends, family, and

neighbors to help me, then there wouldn’t have been an election in North Manchester,” said Priest. “There were no competitive races because no candidates had filed to oppose the incumbents, and I just didn’t see that as an option. In our kind of representative democracy, even on the small-town level, we need to have an election. “Recently, Indiana was judged next-tolast of the 50 states in a first-ever civics test, and one of the main components they listed was low voter turnout. In my mind, I would consider it a bigger loss in this election if there’s a voter turnout under 25 percent than if I don’t get as many votes as my opponent - I’m hoping for a strong voter participation.” Garber has been on the Town Council for two terms (eight years) and began serving as president during his second term. He is currently the Associate Vice President of Financial Affairs at Manchester College, and prior to that he held the position of Town Manager. “I left Town Manager to come to M a n c h e s t e r College,” explained Garber. “I enjoyed town business, but I was really interested in this job too. When I left that (Town Manager) I thought that I would still like to be involved, so I ran for Town Council.

“I am involved with several organizations that have deep roots in the community, such as the Community Foundation, FunFest committee, and Rotary. I think the experience I have is important and also shows that I just really care about the community.” Priest stated that he too is motivated by the prospect of bettering his community. “I listened to a lot of people around the community,” he added, “and there seemed to be this rumbling of discontent all the time.” “I also noticed in the editorial section of the newspapers that there were continual letters from people that have a specific complaint or gripe about something in town government,” Priest continued, “but it doesn’t seem to register with voters that maybe this is something that needs to be looked into. Part of the reason I thought it was important to have an election was because if I hadn’t filed then we would have been saying ‘fine’ to the incumbent administration for four more years without asking any questions about some policies.” According to Garber, his experiences as Town Manager and his eight years as a council member have helped prepare him for the position he currently holds. “There are some fairly significant, longterm projects we

Steve Priest have on the table that are going to require close attention,” he said. “We have a really good council that is doing that right now.” “A lot of the ongoing projects - from the pool to sidewalks to façade restoration - are construction,” Garber continued, “and my job carries over pretty well because I manage building projects on campus. I value projects by how they contribute to the community, and I think I have a fairly good base for knowing when a project is too expensive or unreasonably designed or bad for the community. As a council member, we really want our staff to monitor these projects, but it’s also helpful to have people on the council who have all forms of experience.” One subject that both candidates feel strongly about is economic development. “In the short term, I think we have a pretty good record now of trying to support economic development in the community,” Garber said, “I think we’ve seen some positives come. We’ve established a fairly good working relationship with the county and the City of Wabash. I just think our council has been very proactive in doing the best we can to move forward, especially with limited funds because there’s no such thing as having more money - you have what the state gives you. “We’re currently working on the downtown sidewalk program and façade program. We also have a good project going on with the pool, and I’ve been involved with the pool committee from the beginning. We’ll see that open here in a month or so, and I think that’s a huge economic development piece for the (continued on page 3)

community. I’m convinced it’s a quality of life issue, whether you ever use it or not, it’s the reason some people will move to North Manchester.” Priest, however, would like to see more done to enhance our community. “I’d like to investigate the possibility of establishing an economic development zone from Main to 2nd streets and from Market to Mill streets,” he explained. “I have just been overwhelmed by the closed up storefronts and buildings [in need of] repair - it just gives a less than aesthetic view of the town. And I don’t even know if this is possible, but in this zone there could be a tax abatement or reduction for an initial period to encourage some new, trendy shops to come into

town. “We have a college community here, we have the two retirement communities, and we have a lot of positives going for us with people visiting this town all the time, so I think shopping could be encouraged. I think there are positives in the community, because if you look at the Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, there is quite a crowd that comes to that. If they’re coming for that, they might be encouraged to stay downtown if there was more of a variety of shops and restaurants.” Another topic broached by each candidate was that of the monthly Town Council meetings. “I’m proud of the fact that we’ve really opened up Town Council meetings to the community,”

Garber stated. “When we started the open comment time, there really wasn’t much, and now it has somewhat steamrolled; I think people have really taken that positively. “Frankly, I’m disappointed when the only people at a Town Council meeting are the staff people that we expect to be there. More times than not that’s the case, however, in the last six months we’ve had a full house. Even though you don’t like to hear complaints - occasionally the comments are positive it’s the best place for people to have an outlet for their concerns. I’m just tickled when people want to get involved in community government.” Priest said, “I have attended Town Council meetings in the past, but I have

not been since the campaign season started. Most of the recent debates I’ve seen in the paper are regarding the issue of junk cars sitting on properties. I understand the basic need to keep property values high, plus it’s not aesthetically attractive, but I’m concerned at times that we don’t find a solution to things like that and we spend a lot of time dwelling on one particular issue. “Everybody has a voice, and that’s why I am running for office. Because of my job situation, I’m able to give more time on demand to listen to people’s input and to be able to speak at Town Council meetings for those who I’m labeling ‘the disenfranchised’, or those people that write the letters in the papers.” Each candidate concluded by expressing what ultimately drives him in campaigning for this position. Garber said, “Bottom line, for me, is that I really do it because I love North

Manchester. It’s a lot of time - it’s more than just meeting once a month - it’s almost daily. But I really enjoy the issues of the community and how they affect everyone, and I think we are truly concerned with how our government affects everybody’s life in the community.” While Garber is currently the Town Council president, if Priest were to win the election it would not make him president, as members of the council elect that position. “I have no intention of becoming Town Council president,” Priest stated, “but, even without the eight years of

experience my opponent has, I believe I could pick up on the workings of a Town Council person very quickly. I also have experience in service and volunteering - both as a Sunday school teacher in my

church and as a volunteer counselor at Camp Mack. So I believe I can do a good job listening to people’s needs and concerns, and serving the community.”

SHORT for .Mayor The citizens need to ask and understand the importance of what City government is doing. The City’s employees and its people need to be encouraged to keep the City progressing forward! Many of the decisions made in government today have long-reaching effects. In government, the decisions must have a vision that reaches 10 to 20 years down the road. You have to think about how the decisions will affect the constituents of the community and continously monitor how things are going! Let’s partner with the people! Partners For Public Service.

Trick or Treating. The Wabash City Police Department would like to inform parents that the department has Trick or Treat bags that are available to the public Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the lobby of the police department. They would also like to share some safety concerns for children while they are Trick or Treating: Children should be accompanied by a responsible adult or teenager and not sent out by themselves. Children should not wear costumes that will impede their movement as it could cause them to fall and injure themselves. Try to wear a lighter colored costume. If possible, purchase some reflective tape to place on the costume. This tie of year, it gets dark early, but sure the children have some

type of light. This will not only light their way, but make it easier for them to be seen by motorists. Have the children use the sidewalks, if possible. If they need to walk in the street, have them walk along the edge on the left side, facing traffic. Parents need to remind their children and the guardians with them not to be lured into a vehicle, residence or a building by someone they are not familiar with. Someone I the group should have a cell phone with them in case of an emergency. Children should also be reminded not to eat any of the treats, candy, fruits, etc. until they are checked or washed by an adult. These safety tips and common sense should enable the children and parents to have an enjoyable and safe Halloween.

Tenderloin benefit to be held for bird sanctuary by Danielle Smith DSmith @thepaperofwabash.com

For five years, Mark and Deb Henderson, Wabash, have been taking in unwanted and troubled exotic birds. In January 2010, they achieved their 501(c)3 status and became a nonprofit bird sanctuary, Frosty and Friends Exotic Bird Rescue, Inc. Some exotic birds have a life expectancy of 80 to 100 years. Many birds outlive their owners and others become a burden to their owners, which results in lack of proper care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they are not cared for properly or are neglected or abused, they pluck their own feathers out,â&#x20AC;? Deb explained. When the Hendersons receive a bird, many times its feathers are plucked, its nails and beak are overgrown and it has developed psychological problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is the breeders are making big bucks off of these and people get them because they are pret-

ty and then they realize they are loud and they become destructive and they end up in a basement or garage,â&#x20AC;? she said. When she and Mark take in a bird they work through the psychological and physical problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mainly they just need a stable environment,â&#x20AC;? she explained. In order to provide that stable environment for the birds, the Hendersons incur a great deal of expenses. They spend more than $800 per month on food. In addition to that, there are veterinary bills and the birds must be kept supplied with entertainment, such as toys and wood to chew on, in order to keep them psychologically healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband and I are both working two jobs just to keep them fed,â&#x20AC;? she said. She went on to say that there are no avian veterinarians nearby so they incur travel expenses to take the birds to Fort Wayne or Indianapolis for medical treatment. The Hendersons

often take in birds that are on the brink of being euthanized. In one such recent case, a bird came with a tennis ball-sized tumor on its side, and the owner was prepared to euthanize it. The Hendersons took the bird with the intent of getting it the proper surgery in order to allow it to lead a normal, comfortable life. In addition to the standard operating expenses, the Hendersons are in need of an expansion to their home in order to comfortably house the birds. The 85 birds currently in the care of Frosty and Friends are in every corner of the Hendersonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home. Deb hopes they can add a room to the back of the home that will be used specifically to house the birds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already got the plans to do an addition, 1,600 square feet on the back side of the house just to have a separate room for the birds,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have volunteers that want to come in and help

Charges for possession and distribution of the synthetic cannabinoids now reflect that of cannabinoids including marijuana.

Purdue veterinarian offers tips on Halloween safety for pets

While Halloween can be a fun and exciting time, it also can be dangerous for pets, says Lorraine Corriveau, wellness veterinarian at Purdue University’s

School of Veterinary Medicine. “Our pets can truly be spooked by all of the noises and costumes at Halloween,” Corriveau says. “Constant visitors to

the door as well as the scary sights and sounds may cause some pets to become fearful. These pets could run away and become injured in a variety of ways.”

Elizabeth Leola Flowers Carles and Daniel Alan Griffith wed Sept. 10

The wedding ceremony that united Elizabeth Leola Flowers Carles and Daniel Alan Griffith in marriage was held Sept. 10 on the lawn of the groom’s parents. Pastor Tim Prater officiated. The children of Daniel Griffith attended the couple. Heather Griffith was the photographer, Hannah Griffith was the flower girl and Sean Griffith escorted the bride to his father. The couple united families by celebrating the blended family sand ceremony. A small reception followed at the residence. Daniel is the son of Donald and Rita Griffith of Peru. He is employed at Rural Metro Ambulance, Anderson, as an emergency medical technician. Elizabeth is the daughter of Margaret Flowers and her companion David Glasgow, Deltona, Fla.

Corriveau says dog owners should consider allowing their dog to spend Halloween in a quiet place inside the house with special treats, safe and secure from the goblins. Even if you have a fenced yard, Halloween is not a good night for dogs to be outside without supervision and restraint. “Although the threat is probably minimal, many people are concerned about black cats during this time of year,” Corriveau says. “It might be wise to keep all cats indoors. If you can’t keep your cat indoors, consider a boarding facility or your family veterinarian. It may help to keep your friend safe.” Other risks to pets at Halloween include: - Keep pets away from Halloween candy. Chewy candy and gums can potentially choke pets or cause intestinal obstructions. Lollipop or popsicle sticks and foil wrappers also can become lodged in pets’ throats or digestive tracts. - Chocolate, in particular, is toxic to pets, and even small amounts can cause heart problems and vomiting. It takes only eight ounces of milk chocolate (and 1.5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate) to cause toxicity in a 10pound dog. For cats, the toxic doses are even lower. If your pet consumes chocolate, contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435. - Wagging tails and curious cats can create a fire hazard, espe-

Recent survey ranks Wabash... continued from front page FREE P U & D

Bob Brown announced the award of a grant in the amount of $3,623.18 to his department. He also presented literature regarding the results a recent Disaster Preparedness Survey. This survey showed that the northern area of the state is more prepared, and Wabash was ranked as being “highly prepared.” C o u n t y Coordinator Jim Dils reported that there is a heat pump issue on the third floor of the Wabash County Judicial C e n t e r . Commissioners

approved the repair of the coil, which is estimated to cost $1,900. Wabash County Auditor Jane Ridgeway presented a request from Arc of Wabash County for their final allocation of the year. She also shared the results of the tax sale, which was held Oct. 20. She reported that a standing-room-only crowd filled the room for the sale. She shared that they have collected nearly $50,000 from 40 properties that were paid prior to the sale or sold at the sale.

Join the American Cancer Society for the Great American Smokeout on Nov. 17

As the official sponsor of birthdays, the American Cancer Society marks the 36th Great American Smokeout on Nov. 17 by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. According to an American Cancer Society report Cancer Prevention & Early Detection Facts & Figures 2011, smokers who quit can expect to live up to 10 years longer than those who continue to smoke. Quitting is hard, but smokers can increase their chances of success with help. The American Cancer Society has many tools and tips to help smokers beat the urge to smoke when the cravings hit at www.cancer.org/Smo keout, such as a crave button and a quit clock to help smokers plan towards kicking the habit for good.

Research shows that much of the risk of premature death from smoking could be prevented by quitting. Smokers who quit, regardless of age, live longer than people who continue to smoke. Smokers who quit reduce their risk of lung cancer – 10 years after quitting, the lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker’s. Quitting also lowers the risk for other major diseases including heart disease and stroke. “Quitting smoking is an important step towards reducing your cancer risk and celebrating more birthdays,” said Brad Burk, American Cancer Society state vice president for Indiana. “The American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout provides great tips and tools to help you beat the urge to smoke. There has never been a better

time to quit - we can help!” Years of research confirms that smoking is not only harmful to smokers, but to non-smokers as well. The U.S. Surgeon General and the EPA have declared secondhand smoke a Class A carcinogen containing over 4,000 substances, more than 60 of which are known or suspected to cause cancer. Despite the fact that secondhand smoke causes about 3,400 lung cancer deaths and about 46,000 heart disease deaths nationwide among nonsmoking adults each year, Indiana remains the only state in the Midwest without a statewide comprehensive smokefree air law. “The Great American Smokeout presents an ideal opportunity to reach out to our policymakers and ask them to act on the will of the 66 percent majority of Hoosiers

who want to see Indiana become a smokefree state,” said Amanda Estridge, Indiana state government relations manager, American Cancer Society. “Governor Mitch Daniels has expressed his support of anything that helps people avoid cigarettes, now we’ve got to get the legislature to do its part by introducing and passing a strong bill that will provide all Hoosiers the protection they need and deserve.” The American Cancer Society created the trademarked concept for and held its first Great American Smokeout in 1976 as a way to inspire and encourage smokers to quit for a day. One million people quit smoking for a day at the 1976 event in California. The Great American Smokeout encourages smokers to commit to making a long-

City of Wabash receives positive comments on IDEM inspection

The City of Wabash to report that on Oct. 18 the Water Quality Office of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) conducted a surprise inspection of the Wabash Wastewater Treatment Plant. The inspection found “no violations.” In particular, IDEM was inspecting to make sure that the quality of the water being discharged by the W a s t e w a t e r Treatment Plant into the Wabash River was clean and within all applicable standards. IDEM reported, “The final effluent was clear at inspection and the plant appears to be operating efficiently.” IDEM also noted that, “All cleaning and daily maintenance activities are documented in the operator daily log book. The log was reviewed during the i n s p e c t i o n . ” Elsewhere in its report, IDEM commented that the “facility has a valid permit and the facility description, including units of treatment and receiving stream, is accurate.”

M a y o r Vanlandingham took the results of this inspection as an opportunity to congratulate all of the employees of the W a s t e w a t e r T r e a t m e n t Department “for their hard work, accurate record keeping and attention to details.” He went on to comment, “This city is in the process of an extensive update to its entire sewer system

pursuant to a Long Term Control Plan approved just last year by IDEM and designed to separate the storm sewer system from the industrial and residential wastewater system. The City is proud of its good working relationship with IDEM and welcomes any visit of IDEM to this City and its W a s t e w a t e r Treatment Plant.” M a y o r

Vanlandingham further reported that the IDEM inspection focused on areas within the responsibility of Rick Price, assistant plant superintendent, to whom he gave special congratulations for a job well done. He also thanked John Wonderly, the wastewater plant superintendent, for his strong leadership of the Wastewater Department.

LIFE Center Annual Fundraising Banquet nets $5,000 by Danielle Smith DSmith @thepaperofwabash.com

“Worthy of Love” was the theme of the LIFE Center’s fourth annual fundraising banquet, held Oct. 11 at the REMC building. The 112 attendees enjoyed a meal served by Roann Church of the Brethren’s youth group along with Tori Quillin and J o h n a t h a n Friedersdorf. They were entertained by Symphonic Voices from Wabash High School and a guest speaker, Keith Deltano, a Christian comedian and speaker. “His main topic was basically about abstinence,” said Cheryl Meyer, executive director of the LIFE Center. “Other things he spoke on were just basically the community getting involved with the LIFE Center and their support,” said Jeni Friedersdorf, client service manager. “He talked a little bit about our competition with Planned Parenthood and how they are trying to run pregnancy centers

into the ground and so he wants us to step up and he wants the community to be there for this pregnancy center and the services we bring to the community.” The benefit raised $5,000 after expenses. The LIFE Center staff says this is the most successful banquet fundraiser to date. These funds will be used to cover general operating expenses of the clinic. The LIFE Center recorded nearly 500 instances of service in 2011. They offer pregnancy testing and various baby items for free including clothes, formula, diapers and wipes. They are also affiliated with the Teen MOMS group, which is a support and fellowship group for young moms. The LIFE Center also offers Earn While You Learn classes. Upon completion of all requirements for these classes, attendees earn a free car seat or Pack and Play. Perhaps the most significant addition to the LIFE Center services has been the pur-

Since late July, when the LIFE Center began this service, they have performed 22 ultrasounds on girls who tested positive for pregnancy. “It just brings it more to a reality for them to see the heartbeat, and a lot of babies are moving around so they get to see the baby moving,” Friedersdorf said. “They get the dimensions to see exactly how far along they are and to kind of visualize how big the baby is and what it is doing.” Meyer agreed, “It’s truly exciting to be sitting in there when someone is not

expecting to be pregnant and then they turn that on and you can see the heart beat. The mom-to-be may not be able to tell exactly where the baby is or how it is sitting in her womb, but she can see that heart beat and that’s pretty definite so it’s really exciting to watch that.” The LIFE Center staff has a few other ideas in the works to expand their programming including the offering of STD testing and the development of a Teen DADS group, which they are currently seeking volunteer mentors for. While the LIFE

Center services continue expanding, the LIFE Center building does not. They will soon begin a campaign to raise funding for a possible new location. A golf outing will be held in Spring 2012 to kick off this campaign. “We are outgrowing our facility really fast so we hope to be able to start looking at new buildings,” Meyer said.

Umpires

I am a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan, so as you can imagine there has been a lot of interaction with the TV at my house this past week. I should mention that we have a wonderful puppy at home; Briscoe is a res-

cue dog and is still pretty fearful - loud noises are not his thing. During each of the playoff games, whenever there would be a noisy reaction to a play, Briscoe was sure it was directed at him; he is unable to see the bigger picture and can’t comprehend that sometimes

(through no fault of his own) his world will just be loud. I think we all have “Briscoe moments”: those times when something happens that startles us, a situation we just don’t understand and suddenly our world gets noisy. At times, our reaction is to try and

place blame on ourselves or others when in reality our circumstances are just a result of living in a b r o k e n world. Sometimes bad things just happen and our world gets noisy and uncomfortable. The Bible says in John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” This week let’s listen for God’s quiet in the middle of life’s noise. Oh, and don’t

worry, Briscoe’s quiet will come after the World Series - well at least until Duke Basketball starts… The Access Youth Center, 74 W. Canal St., Wabash, 260-5632070, is open Mon-Fri., 3:30-4:30 p.m., for ages 8-18; Wednesday Teen/Young Adult Bible Study, 6:30-7:30 p.m., in the basement of the Presbyterian Church; and for open nights for ages 12-18, Friday, 4:30-8 p.m., and Saturday, 6-9 p.m. Friend us on Facebook.

Wabash unemployment rate declines

The Indiana Department of W o r k f o r c e Development (DWD) released the September 2011 Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) of Not Seasonally A d j u s t e d Unemployment. The Wabash County rate declined to 8.7 percent from the previous month with 14,554 Wabash County residents now employed. This is an increase of .2 percent in employment from August 2011. “There has been a steady reduction in our unemployment since the worst of the recession when Wabash County had the 12th highest percentage of unemployment in the State,” said Bill Konyha, president and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County,

Inc. “One year ago today, our unemployment rate was still at 9.9 percent, but the movement in the past 12 months has been encouraging.” The latest figures released by DWD indicate that 14,554 Wabash County residents are now employed, .2 percent more than were employed at the end of August. One thousand, three hundred and eighty-seven residents remain unemployed. “Economic development projects announced during 2010 have begun to add staff and this is the primary reason for the growth in Wabash County employment. Last year we leveraged nearly $71 million in private investment resulting in the creation of 472 jobs. Most of the $12,750,000 in

new payroll is now finding its way into the Wabash County economy with the ripple effect creating more economic and employment opportunities,” said Konyha. During 2011, EDG supported and leveraged an additional $29, 232,000 in private capital with 167 new jobs. However, most of these new jobs will not be filled until 2012. Konyha and EDG are optimistic that 2012 will be a good year for announcements and job creation. “As of the end of September we processed 80 leads and continue to carry 18 active projects,” Konyha said. “We continue to focus on our target industries of advanced manufacturing, logistics and distribution, value added ag processing,

health care and supporting sectors.” Since 2007, EDG supported more than $233 million in private investment and the creation of 831 jobs. New payrolls totaling in excess of $25 million generate as much as $744,000 in annual local income taxes. The Economic Development Group of Wabash County, Inc. provides economic development services for the City of Wabash, Wabash County and North Manchester.

Lady Knights top Norse for sectional volleyball title The Southwood volleyball team was looking for their fifth straight sectional title and revenge from a regular season loss to Northfield. The Norse were looking to stop the Southwood’s dominance. The last time the Knights did not win the sectional was 2006 when they were defeated by Northfield. It was a classic inter-county battle and although the Knights won in four games 25-19, 25-22, 2125, 25-7 they knew they had been in a battle. Emotions were running high with fist pumps on every point and both benches clearing with enjoyment on every point. Southwood scored the first two points of the game, but Northfield quickly erased that lead and it would see-saw to a 1010 tie. The big hitters were dominating the play. Kristen Murphy,

Lexi Brickner and Drew Rhamy scored for the Knights; Kylie Echard, Elaina Terrell and Tori Snyder for the Norse. Tied at 10, Southwood went on a 5-0 run and scored 6 of the next 7 points to take a 16-11 lead. Kaley Harness had an ace for the Knights. Northfield would come right back with their own 5-0 run to tie the score at 16. A 4-0 run and two 3-0 runs by the Knights down the stretch, finished off by three Harness kills, secured game one for the Knights 25-19. Southwood jumped out to a quick 5-2 lead in game two, but two aces from Elaina Terrell tied the score for the Norse at 5. The Knights would run again, scoring 7 of the next 8 points behind Drew Rhamy and Southwood led 12-6. The Norse clawed their way back with

SECTIONAL CHAMPS: The Southwood Lady Knights defeated the Northfield Lady Norse 25-19, 25-22, 21-25, 25-7 to claim their fifth consecutive sectional championship Oct. 22 at North Miami High School. The Lady Knights will look to advance to the Bremen semi state after taking on Delphi in the regional Oct. 25. (photo by wabashcountysports.com)

kills from Terrell, Echard and Kendal Reed, cutting the lead to one at 17-16. The

two teams would slug back and forth, with Southwood winning game two 25-22.

Halderman runs her way to state

NORTHFIELD’S Jenna Halderman recently qualified for the state finals by finishing ninth at the New Prairie semi state Oct. 22 with a time of 19:12, a new school record. Halderman, a freshman at Northfield High School, will compete in the state finals Oct. 29 in Terre Haute. (photo provided)

The Northfield boys and girls cross country teams, plus Manchester’s Kelsi Custer and Mathew Fahs-Brown and Southwood’s Emily Lehner competed in the semi-state on Oct. 22. Northfield freshman Jenna Halderman finished ninth overall in a time of 19:12, qualifying for the state finals in Terre Haute Oct. 29. Her 19:12 is another new school record. At New Prairie, the Northfield boys team finished 16th. Caleb Augustus led the Norse, finishing 18th in 16:21. Trent Meyer was 102nd in 17:37, Devin Tracy 105th in 17:39, Joe Burcroff 126th in 17:56, Kevan Barlow 129th in 17:57, Austin

Proud Sponsors of Wabash County Athletics!

Eads 134th in 18:06 and Michael Shannon 136th in 18:08. Mathew FahsBrown of Manchester finished 44th in 16:52. The Northfield girls team finished 14th. They were led by Halderman, Brittany Sloan was 102nd in 21:43, Karla Singer 107th in 21:55, Courtney Frank 111th in 22:00, Caitlin Eltzroth 120th in 22:29, Katie Stephan 122nd in 22:36 and Sydney Eltzroth 137th in 23:27. Manchester’s Kelsi Custer finished 21st in 19:40. Southwood freshman Emily Lehner ran in the New Haven semi-state. Lehner finshed 59th in 20:34.

Down 2-0 the Lady Norse could have just rolled over and it looked like that could happen at the start. Southwood jumped out to a quick lead, but the Norse went on a roll with Haley Walchle and Echard controlling the net and the Norse built a 13-8 lead. The lead would stay at 4 to 5 points and the Norse eventually ended game three with a block from Tori Snyder and Kylie Echard, 25-21.

As tight as the first three games were, no one in the gym expected what happened in game four. The Knights would score the first four points of the game, three of them on blocks before Echard had a kill to make it 4-1. After Rhamy and Terrell traded kills it was 8-3 and the Southwood offense caught fire. The Knights went on a 6-0 run behind three Rhamy kills and a kill and a block from

Kristen Murphy and just like that it was 14-3. After a couple Northfield points the Knights went on a 5-0 run, again led by Rhamy to lead 18-5. A Walchle kill made it 18-6 and the third Knight run came. This time it was 6-0. Kills from Harness and Kristen Murphy, an ace from Amy Bowman and a block from the Murphy sisters and Southwood ran away with game four 25-7 to win the sectional.

Public invited to observe opera curtain restoration

The public is invited to the North Manchester Center for History to observe the restoration of a rare early 20th century painted opera curtain, one of only three in the state of Indiana.

Jennifer Hein, distinguished conservator, has agreed to allow the general public and local high school and college students to observe her work. She will speak to observers about the conserva-

tion process, what degrees conservators have, and how art and history majors might become conservators. She will also discuss some interesting work she has done in the field. After that, Ms. Hein will remove the opera curtain to her Indianapolis studio to finish the restoration. When the work is finished, the curtain will be unveiled in 2012 when the Center For History is re-opened after a winter hiatus.

The North M a n c h e s t e r Historical Society (NMHS) has received a grant from the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County to cover part of the cost of stabilizing and restoring the opera curtain. Because the curtain is so rare and a piece of local history, the NMHS has decided to make it the centerpiece of their activities for the coming year. There are plans on having a

Fire safety tips to protect your family

(ARA) - House fires happen more frequently during the winter months each year due to holiday decorations, malfunctioning furnaces and increased use of cooking appliances and fireplaces, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Fire Prevention Month in October is a good time for homeowners to make fire escape plans and take steps to prevent house fires. Every member of your family, from your youngest child to the oldest senior, can help to protect your home from fire and learn how to assist others in getting out in case a fire does occur. Here are some actions you can take this fall to protect your house and family.

* Replace the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Go through your entire house and make sure you put new Duracell CopperTop batteries in every detector. You should have a smoke detector on every floor in the house, as well as just outside of every bedroom. “Installing a smoke detector is one of the strongest defenses for a family to prevent devastating fires and ensure loved ones are alerted and escape a potentially dangerous situation,” says Philip Stittleburg, chairman of the National Volunteer Fire Council. “A good habit to develop is to replace your batteries in your smoke detector every

fall to ensure the detectors will work in the event there is a fire in your home.” * Have your fireplace cleaned and inspected. Residue from previous fires can build up in the chimney, and if the conditions are right, catch on fire. Schedule a chimney cleaning every year if you plan to use your fireplace. * Unplug holiday decorations when you’re away from the house or have gone to bed. * If using space heaters in your home or garage, keep them at least three feet away from any objects, and don’t leave them running and unattended. * With all the holiday cooking you’re bound to do, be sure to practice safe cooking methods. For instance, keep

anything flammable away from the stove and oven, always roll up your sleeves when working around a hot range and never leave the kitchen unattended when cooking. * Store lighters and matches out of reach of children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended. * Establish escape routes for second story and higher rooms. You may need to purchase escape ladders that can be stored under the bed in case a family member would need to leave the house through the window. * Organize a family escape plan. Put the plan down on paper, and then run through it several times so everyone - including your youngest children - knows exactly how

Green tips for tackling fall lawn cleanup (ARA) - Every fall, the wind picks up, the leaves fall to the ground and the grass gets a little browner. It’s the time of year when the weather is unpredictable and storms can make even the neatest yards a mess. Remington, a leading manufacturer of battery and electric power tools, has some tips to help make your fall cleanup greener and easier: Clearing leaves from your yard can be a daunting task, but it’s an important one to keep your yard alive and green come spring. Using an electric leaf blower or blower vacuum versus using a rake or a heavy gas blower can help reduce the effort. While electric leaf blowers are limited in mobility, they require less hassle. If you find more than just leaves in your yard after a storm, you may consider doing most of the cleanup yourself using a chainsaw, such as the RM1415A Limb N Trim, a 14-inch chainsaw that’s ideal for cleanup of fallen branches and logs less than 13 inches in diameter. Keep in mind there are many safety concerns to take into account when using a chainsaw to clean up the mess. Here are a few tips on how to use a chainsaw to help keep you

safe this season: * First, read the operator’s manual and follow suggested guidelines to remove fallen trees. * Ensure the saw’s chain is properly tensioned before each use and all fasteners, controls and safety features are functioning properly. * Make sure the bar and chain are always lubricated to prevent the saw from wearing out or cutting poorly. Check the bar and chain oil reservoir frequently to make sure it’s full or it will ruin your chain. * Start the saw while standing on the ground and always hold the handle securely. * Clear debris and small tree limbs from the chainsaw’s path, and beware of nails and other metal before cutting. * Avoid saw “kickback” to prevent a serious chainsaw injury. Never let the tip of the bar come in contact with anything. Always reference the operator’s manual for proper chain saw operation. Here are a few other tips to prepare your yard for fall: * Cut your grass short right before the season ends. * Don’t forget to water. Early in the morning is the best time in order to avoid evaporation and disease development.

* Fertilize in order to maintain root health and replenish the nutrients that were lost during the hot summer. * Once the watering season is over, make sure to drain and store your garden hose and turn off the water supply to keep your pipes from freezing.

* If you use a batterypowered mower, make sure to remove the battery before putting it away. Also, store the battery on the charger to keep it from slowly draining over the winter, which can damage the battery over time.

they’re getting out of the house, and where they’re supposed to meet outside. Review this plan yearly.

All members of your family can work together to prevent fires. With a fire safety plan in mind, you’ll be

able to enjoy the fall and winter months without worrying about your family’s safety.

an energy-efficient home. One essential factor for saving energy and maintaining indoor air comfort is sealing the exterior of the home. Insulation and energy-efficient windows play important roles in preventing air leaks where obvious holes are present, however, one hidden area susceptible to energy leaks is the home’s framing. “Homeowners are looking for ways to improve their home’s energy performance,” says Jery Y. Huntley, president and CEO of the Vinyl Siding Institute (VSI), the trade association for manufacturers of vinyl and other polymeric siding and suppliers to the industry. “A common problem with homes today is the thermal bridging effect, which can rob a home of heat and

waste energy and money.” In thermal bridging, the studs act as a passageway for heat to escape. Most insulation helps seal wall cavities, but the wall studs on either side of the cavities are often left exposed, reducing the insulating value of the entire wall. “Continuous wall insulation is crucial to fully seal the exterior and protect against heat loss,” says Jerry Blais, vice president of marketing for Ply Gem, a leading manufacturer of home remodeling and building products. “Insulated siding is one solution that helps reduce the impact of thermal bridging, adding a blanket of insulation over the exposed wall studs.” Backed with polystyrene foam insula-

tion that is integral to the panel, insulated siding can increase a wall system’s R-value, or thermal resistance. The continuous insulation the siding provides over the entire wall can contribute to reducing the energy needed to heat or cool a home. In fact, ENERGY STAR and other programs now recognize insulated siding as a valid material to reduce thermal bridging. Therefore, insulated siding is included in the checklist of products that help homes qualify to earn the ENERGY STAR Qualified Homes label. “The recognition of insulated siding as home insulation in energy codes and energy efficiency programs legitimizes a benefit we’ve known for some time,” says

America’s most recognized brand of windows.

Enhance the comfort and look of your home with Andersen® windows and doors. Andersen® windows and doors come in styles, shapes and sizes to fit any purpose and ever y personality.

Huntley. Beyond energy efficiency, insulated siding offers many other benefits: * Because it is made with vinyl, insulated siding is low maintenance. It provides the look of real wood, but does not require painting or staining. * Insulated siding is an exceptionally dry wall system, making it resistant to mold growth and deterioration due to moisture absorption. * The foam insulation backing and wide-style clapboard design options make insulated siding an extremely durable and impact resistant cladding, while improving the exterior wall flatness for added aesthetic appeal. Today’s vinyl siding manufacturers offer insulated siding options at various price points and in an assortment of colors. Blais recommends Mastic Home Exteriors by Ply Gem Structure EPS for superior performance and a wide selection of coordinating designer accents and accessories, which can be found on w w w. m a s t i c . c o m . Options such as Napco by Ply Gem American Essence or Variform by Ply Gem CSL 600 also offer classic styling in numerous colors. If you are considering insulated siding for your next home improvement project, ask your contractor to download a free copy of Insulated Siding as Home Insulation: Guide for Users and Energy Raters, published by the VSI. Available at w w w. i n s u l a t e d s i d ing.info, this guide offers information on how insulated siding contributes to building energy performance, as well as proper installation techniques.

Maximize your melting this winter (ARA) - Snow typically starts falling across the U.S. in November, according to the National Weather Service. In 2010 more than onethird of the country was covered with powdery flakes by Thanksgiving. It’s during this time people flock to the store to pick up shovels and snow blowers. Yet, one of the most versatile snow safety tools consumers have in their winter arsenal is ice melt. It’s easy to believe that all melters are the same, but much like you use one cleaning product for the bathtub and another for the countertop, you should also use specialty melters designed specifically for your environmental and safety needs. Choosing the wrong melter can not only waste time and money, it can cause unnecessary harm to sidewalks, driveways, pets and vegetation. Getting educated about how ice melt works and how to select the right one can be instrumental in having a fun and safe season. Facts about freezing Although many people believe ice melters damage concrete, the true culprit is the temperature. When ice melts naturally, it turns into liquid. which runs down into the pores, or small holes, in concrete. When this liquid refreezes, it expands (similar to water in an ice cube tray that freezes) which may push apart the concrete and cause damage. The more times the temperature goes above and below freezing, the more times ice melts and freezes, leading to a greater risk of damage to concrete. If protecting concrete is your number one safety priority this season, try Morton Safe-T-Plus.

It contains hydroxyl ethyl cellulose (HEC for short) which actually helps form a protective seal to prevent melted ice from seeping into concrete pores, which can prevent costly damage to concrete walkways, driveways and steps. Protect people, plants and pets “Many consumers mistakenly believe all ice melt products are salt-free because sodium isn’t listed as an ingredient. The truth is, any chloride is actually a form of salt,” says Sara Matuszak, brand manager at Morton Salt. Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride are all common ice melt ingredients which can be irritating to pets’ paws. For pet parents, Morton Safe-TPet provides a saltand chloride-free solution that’s veterinarian-recommended to be safer for pet paws, skin and eyes than traditional melting salt. Not one size fits all Even in America’s snow belt, average monthly temperatures don’t typically fall below zero degrees Fahrenheit. A recent ice melt study from Michigan Technological University, a leading authority on snow removal and melter testing, found using only extreme temperature melters like calcium chloride was not necessary in most conditions. For smart melting, experts recommend having two types of melters on hand, one for normal winter conditions and one for extreme temperature drops. In normal winter temperatures (5 F and above), an “everyday” melter that contains milder ingredients like urea and potassium chloride are best. These melters clear ice and snow but are safer

for plants, pets and people than traditional melting salt. For the few occasions when temperatures drop drastically (below zero F) use an “extreme” melter that contains calcium chloride. These products can be less safe than the milder ingredients listed above, but they can be necessary to keep driveways and walkways clear and safe

in extreme conditions. No matter whether you expect to see one inch of snow this season or 100, read the label before you buy and seek out products with thirdparty performance validation to ensure the ice melt you bring home is up for the job.

TROY EADS

which can cut a large chunk out of your home heating budget this winter, if you’re not careful. It’s not too late to do something in the battle against rising heating costs. You can start by winterizing your home, plugging up the leaks and drafts that deplete energy - and your family budget. Here’s your moneysaving strategy: * Start early When the weather is still balmy, take care of the places outside your home where the uncomfortable chill of new seasons can creep indoors. Then, move inside to ensure there are no “holes” in the house where the chilly drafts of winter can hide. * Be prepared Rounding up prod-

ucts in the fall that will ensure comfort and warmth is a DIY task that is easier than you think. With the affordable, easyto-use tools on the market, the job is doable in a weekend. Try these products for a sure victory in the heating cost battle: For interior and exterior doors, there’s Duck brand Double Draft Seal. Engineered to hug the bottom of a door or window from both sides, the seal offers two layers of protection from drafts. It has exclusive adjustable straps to keep the seal from sliding and getting stuck in the door. The seal is designed to work on a variety of floor types and features abrasionresistant, washable fabric. It works well on windows as well. The window can be closed onto the flat middle section for a snug, double sided seal. Stop drafts through windows by using Duck brand Roll-On Window Kits, which provide an airtight seal against the energysucking winds of winter. These kits are practically invisible, come in a variety of sizes, are easy to install, fit snugly

to your window frame and can be easily removed come spring. You might also consider dressing your windows for the winter. Thermal drapes, blinds or other window clothing can protect not only your windows and your family’s comfort, but your finances as well. If you are able to make a more costly investment in window replacement, double glazed windows provide the best protection against wind and ice. For outdoor faucets that freeze from frustrating cold winds, consider covers that insulate and protect. Faucet covers can help prevent pipes from freezing and save on expensive repair work. Duck brand offers two kinds of faucet covers: a rigid foam version and a flexible, insulated version. These faucet covers work on a variety of faucet types. Layer up - As the winds of November cause you to wear extra layers, it’s time to think about insulation for your home too. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that homeowners can typically save up to

20 percent of heating and cooling costs (or up to 10 percent of total energy costs) by air sealing their homes and adding insulation in attics, floors over crawl spaces, and accessible basement rim joists. Discover the best products available, such as foam or eco-friendly ways to do it yourself. Insulation does not require maintenance, upkeep or adjustment, so it’s a reliable member of the team that will secure your home from the frigid weather. Protect the warmth - Make sure your furnace is well maintained, which means cleaning filters monthly to maximize their efficiency (and save money). At a minimum, change the filter every three months. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool wasting energy. A programmable thermostat is ideal for people who are away from home during set periods of time throughout the week. According to EnergyStar, a properly programed thermostat can save about $180 every year in energy costs.

Plug the holes through walls Select Duck brand Socket Sealers to combat the cold air that invades your home from indoor and outdoor electrical outlets and switch plates. They are easy to install and made from flame retardant foam. Rubber, foam or silicone weatherstrip seals can also be used to insulate around doors and windows and keep your home comfortable and cozy. Make yourself a promise this fall you will close the door on heat loss, slam the windows on energy drain and reward yourself with ample savings throughout the winter. Improving your household’s energy budget will help keep your family warm and comfortable, so start early. Rest assured the tools to be victorious over energy loss are better than ever, the steps are simpler than imagined and the results are almost immediate.

Five tips to get your home ready for winter

(ARA) - It may not be winter yet, but do not wait for it to arrive to start getting the house ready for the coldest months of the year. The home experts at Kudzu.com recommend the following actions to get the home ready for the cooler temperatures ahead. Have the chimney inspected and cleaned - If you have a woodburning fireplace, the inside of the chimney can be a dirty place, and this has the potential to cause some problems if not addressed. Over time a combustible material called creosote can build up on the inside of the chimney. If not regularly removed, this substance can catch fire, causing

major damage to the home and resulting in serious injuries or even death. Get the furnace serviced - Heating systems will be putting in a lot of overtime as the temperatures plummet, and it is

important to have them serviced so they can handle the load. Seal all air ducts Air ducts can be punctured, torn or become disconnected, all of which will cause heated air to spew into the attic, basement or

crawlspace before it reaches the home’s interior. These leaks can cause heating bills to be much higher. Add insulation According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 80 percent of homes built before

1980 are not well insulated, so chances are your home is not as

insulated as it should be. Adding insulation is one of the fastest,

cheapest ways to retain heat and save on heating bills.

Wabash County Plan Commission reminds residents of application process

The Wabash County Plan Commission is reminding contractors and area residents that a special exception application process is required before any excavation work to construct a pond can begin. The special exception application process is required for any pond, lake or earthen structure greater than 100 square feet. Information on

pond requirements from the Wabash County Plan Commission can be viewed by going to the Wabash County Government website, selecting “area planning”, then selecting “reports/for ms”, finally selecting “pond requirements.” In addition to meeting the requirements of the Wabash County Plan Commission, the plans must meet the requirements of and

be reviewed by the Wabash County Surveyor, Wabash County Drainage Board and Wabash County Highway Department. Wabash County Surveyor and Drainage Board requires that: - Pond construction within the drainage easement of a regulated drain requires Wabash County Drainage Board approval

- If a pond is designed to outlet into a regulated county drain, prior approval must be obtained from the County Surveyor - Avoid contact with or damage to subsurface tile drains. Any damaged subsurface drain shall be repaired or relocated to comply with drainage standards Construction activities, including

erosion, must not obstruct any existing drainage facility, regulated or non-regulated. Wabash County H i g h w a y D e p a r t m e n t requires: - A setback of 100 feet from the centerline of any county road - No direct outlet into any county roadside ditch will be allowed - No fill may be

placed within 10 feet of the road right-ofway, unless prior approval is granted

Dear editor, We at the Learn More Center are immensely grateful for the community support received in planning our first annual Feel the Learn 5K Run/Walk, held on Oct. 1 at the Town Life Center.

Our partners— Manchester College, M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, and the North Manchester Public Library—helped

AmeriCorps program at state parks seeks volunteers

The DNR Division of State Parks & Reservoirs has received grant funding through Indiana’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to administer a new program called Indiana Heritage Corps (IHC). The DNR wants to find 23 members before Jan. 1, 2012, to begin IHC service in late January 2012. IHC is a volunteer opportunity for which on-site housing, living allowance of $335 per month, an education stipend ($2,750) and hands-on experience will be provided, as well as a chance to earn college internship credit and live at a state park.

The state parks that will have IHC are Pokagon (in Angola), Fort Harrison (in Indianapolis), Brown County (in Nashville) and O’Bannon Woods (in Corydon). IHC members will clean, restore and construct 20 cumulative miles of trail in the four parks. IHC candidates should be at least 17 years of age, U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, be able to pass a strict FBI background check, and be able to make an eight-month commitment to the program (Jan. 23–Aug. 17).

Scott’s Landscaping not at fault in early de-foliation and death of trees at Woodspoint Dear editor, A couple of months ago, the North Manchester NewsJournal had an article regarding an issue at Woodspoint (a condominium complex in North Manchester) with

several trees that were losing leaves in July and the possible causes of the loss. Speculation at the time was that a new herbicide produced by DuPont and applied once to the Woodspoint

lawns might be the cause of the very early de-foliation of a lot of locust trees. We’re writing today to update that information based on experiences we’ve had with this problem over the last

R Rehab ehab to Home

’

three months. Tests by the Indiana State Chemist’s Office concluded that, in fact, the DuPont herbicide Imprelis did cause the trees to be stressed to the point of de-foliation in July and, we now

lik h

know, stressed to the point of the death of the tree. DuPont will be replacing several trees at Woodspoint. Those trees will be removed in the next couple of months so that they do not continue to present a danger to our buildings, vehicles or persons. DuPont will also be replacing the lost trees. Woodspoint wants to make it clear that our landscape contractor, Scott’s Landscape Services, is in no way responsible for this damage. Scott’s applied a product marketed by a well-known and historically successful company (DuPont). Everyone

would have had the same thoughts about this product until it proved to be a negative factor. The product did do what it was advertised to do and did it in a very effective way — it just also did things it was not advertised to do and did those things in a very effective way. Scott’s has been very cooperative in making sure that we know everything we need to know about the issue and that DuPont is aware of our situation. The owner of Scott’s has spent countless hours with this problem over this summer when the responsibility does not rest with him or his company. Woodspoint has had a long relationship with Scott’s Landscape and that relationship will continue. They do a great job for us and, as recently shown, are very responsive to our needs. Thanks in large part to Scott’s involvement,

DuPont is acknowledging our issues. We’re not sure that DuPont should take all the blame, however. There are governmental agencies that are in place to protect homeowners from these kinds of outcomes. The herbicide was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and by the State of Indiana until it was determined that damage was being done, then the approvals were “pulled” and the product was taken off the market. The agencies that had the responsibility to determine whether the product should have ever been on the market did not do their due diligence before approving the product. Those agencies are the real culprits in this situation. Jim Smith President of the Board of Directors for Woodspoint Condominium Association
