Sweet, sweet rain Experts: Crops could rebound from distress of June dry spell By Phil Smith psmith@thepaperofwabash.com

s if planned strategically by someone hoping to grill over the holidays, much-needed rainfall hit Wabash County not long after the annual Independence Day celebration wound to a close. For local farmers, the precipitation was welcomed in earnest, as crops planted in May began showing distress from a longer-than-normal spell of dry conditions. “The U.S. Drought Monitor currently places the southwest part of Wabash County in the ‘Moderate Drought Category,’ while the rest of the county has been declared ‘abnormally dry,’” said Kyle Brown, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service’s station in North Webster last week. The website localconditions.com reported that even with the rainfall in the first week of July, totals going back to June 13 have barely topped three quarters of an inch. Brown reported data provided by the city utility office of nearby Marion, which partners with NWS to report such weather information as rainfall. According to the report, 7.07 inches of rain fell from May 1 to the end of June. This accumulation was the lowest since the drought year of 2012. However, local farmers and crop experts say the rain that began late in the day July 4 would be enough to help distressed crops rebound nicely. “This year, just like every year, there are always curveballs to adjust to,” said Scott Haupert with Urbana-based Dale/Haupert Family Farms. “Crops went in a little later than we would like, but they went and came up really well. The crop was in pretty good shape when we ran out of water.” On June 14 in Wabash County, the temperature topped out at 98 degrees Fahrenheit and crops didn’t see much in the way of moisture until late in the July 4 holiday. “The crop, especially corn, was starting to suffer but the rain came very timely,” said Haupert. Ed Farris with Huntington County’s Purdue Extension Office, described corn as resilient and quoted from an agriculture newsletter, which

Crop experts assert that recent rainfall may very well help the local corn crop to rebound after being distressed by an abnormally long period of dry weather. Photo by Phil Smith said “Overall, corn is fairly tolerant to heat and drought conditions during early vegetative growth. However, if the heat and drought continue to persist, and severe plant stress is observed, plant photosynthetic capacity and yield can be lost. Where heat and drought stress can become a significant problem is during pollination and silking.” Mark Kepler of Fulton County’s Extension Office reinforced the idea of such crops’ reliance on water during the early stages of development.

“During early corn growth is when the plant genetically puts on the number of rows of kernels and these droughts during this time can affect that number of rows of kernels,” Kepler said. “You can continually guess how much yield loss has happened, but you never know what may be made up for by better weather later on. It is during that better weather that the number of kernels per row is put on, so if you have good moisture during that tasseling and silking time, Continued on Pg. 5.

IWU announces new president By Ed Breen

10 groups to benefit from Chili Cook-off Members of the Chili for Charity committee have announced the 10 Wabash County charities chosen to benefit from this year’s Chili Cook-off Event, taking place Saturday, Oct. 15. Emily Overlander, president of the Chili for Charity committee, said “Although the number of funding applicants were down slightly in 2022, several charities applied to benefit from the event proceeds, which provide the much-needed funding that so many Wabash County Charities have come to rely on. The charities chosen will benefit not only from the event proceeds, but also from the amazing community support, recognition, and related publicity surrounding this incredible, one-day event. By spotlighting each of the charities chosen, we hope to bring additional awareness of the charity to both those who support Wabash County charities, as well as those who can benefit from their vital goods and services.” They are thrilled to support the following Wabash County Charities in 2022: Blessings in a Backpack - Wabash CASA Wabash County Disabled American Vets of Wabash County FISH of Wabash Foundation for Art and Music in Education Growing Grounds Honeywell Educational Outreach Kiwanis Club Wabash County 4-H Junior Leaders Wabash County Cancer Society Since its inception Chili for Charity, including United Fund, has donated more than $655,000 to 75 different organizations through 2021.

Dr. Jonathan Kulaga, a veteran of 34 years in Christian higher education, was recently named as the new president of Indiana Wesleyan University to succeed Dr. David Wright, who retired last month after nine years in the presidency. Dr. Kulaga was identified at the conclusion of a sixmonth search and was named in a statement by Carl Shepard, chairman of the university’s board of trustees. He is expected to start his Marion job Aug. 8. Kulaga will be coming to Marion from Circleville, Ohio, where he has spent five years as president of Ohio Christian University, a Christian-based college with an enrollment of about 1,500 students. It is about a half-hour south of Columbus, Ohio. “The presidential search committee was highly impressed with Dr. Kulaga’s ability to communicate his vision and guide stellar strategic planning initiatives,” Shepherd said on behalf of the board in making the initial announcement to staff and faculty

Dr. Jonathan & Lena Kulaga. late Wednesday. Kulaga, who earned his doctorate degree in higher educational administration at Kansas State University, will be the 10th president of IWU in its 102year history. It began as Marion Normal Institute, then became Marion College and renamed itself as Indiana Wesleyan University in the late 1980s in the presidency of Dr. James Barnes. In naming

Kulaga, the IWU trustees cited his accomplishments at Ohio Christian University: “He decreased institutional debt, increased student retention, raised the percentage of campus faculty terminal degrees to 92 percent, increased the racial and ethnic diversity of the faculty and administration and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to Christcentered mission and values.”

Kulaga is an ordained elder in the Free Methodist Church. He received his bachelor’s degree from Spring Arbor University in Michigan and later returned to Spring Arbor as an administrator. He was also served as an administrator at Asbury University, Wilmore, Ky. He received his master’s degree from Michigan State University in East Lansing.

The IWU board also said Nancy Schoonmaker, chief financial officer of the university, will direct interim leadership from now through Kulaga’s arrival on Aug. 8. No date has been set for a formal investiture as president. Kulaga is married and he and his wife, Lena, are the parents of four adult children “all of whom live within a three-hour drive of Marion.”

MSO announces 84th season lineup The Manchester Symphony Orchestra announces its 84th season with a schedule of four concerts under Debra Lynn, conductor and artistic director. “I’m thrilled about the MSO 84th season,” Lynn said. “My personal goal is to strike a balance between familiar standard masterworks and pieces by composers who are underrepresented due to long-standing exclusivism within classical music genres.” Lynn continued to explain her idea for genre diversity. “Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms were creative geniuses, and no one wants to do away with their important contributions to music and culture,” she said. “However, it is time to level the playing field. Composers of all genders, abilities, cultural backgrounds, and races are writing — and have written — high-quality, innovative music that deserves to be treasured just as deeply and programmed as frequently…” The Composer Diversity Database has suggested orchestras move toward programming 15 percent of

DEBRA LYNN

their season repertoire by composers from underrepresented groups. “I’m proud to say the MSO has been intentional about meeting that goal in our previous two seasons, and we are at 27 percent for our upcoming 84th season. No other orchestra in the region comes close to this achievement,” Lynn said. “Our audiences get to experience the classics, but they also have an opportunity to hear some wonderful music that they probably won’t hear anywhere else. This sets MSO concerts apart as truly unique and special. This broadening of our musical horizons is good for our community, good for our musicians, and good for me as a conductor. Everybody wins.” Alongside celebrated works, the season opener showcases a work by a Chickasaw composer and the season ends with a

world premiere by a Thai American guest artist and a composition by Lynn. “Legends” is Oct. 9 in in Cordier Auditorium on the North Manchester, Indiana, campus of Manchester University. It features “Peter and the Wolf ” by Sergei Prokofiev, “Overture to King Arthur” by Henry Purcell, “Chokfi’ (Sarcasm for String Orchestra and Percussion)” by Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate, and the “Mother Goose (Ma Mère l’Oye) Suite” by Maurice Ravel. “Gloria!” is Dec. 11 in Cordier. It features “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Johann Sebastian Bach, “Les Éolides” to celebrate the 200th birthday of Cesar Franck, “Evening Prayer and Dream Pantomime” from Engelbert Humperdinck’s “Hansel and Gretel,” “A Christmas Festival” by Leroy Anderson, and “Gloria” by John Rutter. It features the Manchester Symphony Chorus. “Dona Nobis Pacem” is March 12, 2023, at the

Honeywell Center in Wabash, Indiana. It features Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Mass in C” with the Manchester University A Cappella Choir, the symphony chorus and area high school choirs. “Melody” by Myroslav Skoryk, “Dona Nobis Pacem” from the Mass in B Minor by Bach and “Lyric for Strings” by George Walker, the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for music composition. “Arts Potpourri” is May 14, 2023, at Cordier. It features a world premiere by guest artist Jon Silpayamanant, Thai American composer and cellist; “Schemselnihar” by Leo Smit; and “Kandinsky Suite” by Debra Lynn. Mikautadze Dance Theatre of Fort Wayne is featured

in this concert. “Silpayamanant is a brilliant Indiana composer,” Lynn said. He is also researcher, educator and multiinstrumentalist. The MSO commissioned this new work as part of its guest artist residency program that brings national and international musicians to Manchester

University for annual week-long residencies. Guest artists do outreach to K-12 students through school visits or field trips to MU’s North Manchester campus; conduct master classes for area high school and university students; and offer recital performances in addition to the MSO concert.

“Our guest artists raise the bar of excellence, challenge and engage our musicians, and bring the wider world to our community,” Lynn said. “I am also exited to offer ‘Schemselnihar’ by Smit at the May concert,” she said. Smit is a littleknown Dutch composer who was Cont. on Pg. 4.

Rain you could end up with more kernels per row.” According to Evan Bowman, manager of Wabash County’s Bowman Farms, stress on crops is preferable earlier than later. “Before the corn is even knee-high, it is already determining the size of ear that it will grow, so early-season stressors like drought begin subtracting yield,” he said. “Nevertheless, corn and soybeans have incredible, God-given defense mechanisms to mitigate stress, and early-season

...continued from Page 1 drought is preferable to late-season dryness during pollination and grain fill. Our weather is historically dry during those periods through July and August, so the concern with a dry June is that soil moisture has been depleted to make an even drier late growing season.” During the dry spell, when temperatures also flirted with triple digits, many corn fields displayed what experts call “leaf rolling,” which is a sign of high temperature stress. According to Ohio State

University’s Extension Service, crop stress due to heat begins around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The service added that if corn experiences more than 140 days of high heat, crop yields will be negatively affected. OSUES added the similarities between corn and its crop rotation partner, soybeans. “Soybeans have a similar range in temperature to corn for heat stress,” the service reported. “Temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit for several consecutive days can cause heat

stress. This heat can accelerate maturity, because soybeans are photoperiod and temperature-controlled when it comes to flowering. “During vegetative stages, these high temperatures can slow or stop photosynthesis because the plant is making an effort to conserve water. Thus, inhibiting new vegetative growth, which is vital for late-planted soybeans. Temperatures above 86 degrees Fahrenheit can also reduce nodulation and therefore N-fixation in the soy-

bean which could have an effect until the reproductive stages.” While farmers likely kept their eyes on the skies and the daily weather reports, hoping that when rain did fall, it wouldn’t be too little too late, the early July offerings seem to have saved the year’s yields, according to Haupert, who has been farming with the crop and livestock operation since 1996. “I don’t think, at this point, we should see much of a yield reduction,” he said. “But, what

this dry period did do was make our roots drive deep in the ground searching for water. I am happy at this point with the condition of our crops.” Bowman agrees and adds that he’s optimistic, so long that the weather of June’s second half isn’t repeated later in the season. “Unfortunately, once yield is lost, it’s lost,” Bowman

said. “There is still a lot of yield potential to be determined, so favorable conditions for the rest of the season can still grow a strong crop. Even though the crop was planted on the late side, most local farmers have been blessed with a good stand in their crops, and this is essential to maximize yield potential.”

Crash claims life of Marion man Indiana State Police reported a pair of traffic crashes — one in Wabash County — just prior to the July 4 holiday that claimed the lives of two people. The crashes occurred at 5:55 p.m. and 10:41 p.m. respectively on June 30 and killed a Marion man and a man from Kokomo. Daniel Kellogg, 68 of Marion was killed, according to an ISP report, in a two-vehicle crash on State Road 15 near County Road 950 S, LaFontaine. Both ISP troopers and LaFontaine police responded to the crash. According to the report, Kellogg was believed to have a medical issue prior to the crash. Police said Kellogg’s vehicle rear-ended a vehicle driven by Staci Brechbiel, 53, Marion, on multiple occasions, causing Brechbiel’s vehicle to exit the roadway and hit an

embankment. Police reported that Kellogg’s vehicle continued southbound before leaving the roadway and rolling multiple times. Brechbiel was transported to a local hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries, police said. Kellogg was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the crash remains under investigation and added that an autopsy will be performed on Kellogg. ISP also responded with sheriff ’s deputies from Tipton County to a two-vehicle crash on SR 28 near Tipton. Police said a vehicle driven by Seth Young, 32, Kokomo crossed the center line and collided nearly head-on with a semi-tractor trailer driven by Ronald Moore, 56 of LaPorte. Young was pronounced dead at the scene and Moore was unhurt in the crash.

UWIN Group to host environmental workshop The Upper Wabash Invasives Network Group (UWIN) is hosting a free environmental workshop will take place Aug. 18 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Salamonie Lake’s Interpretive Center. The workshop, “Where to begin? Invasive control for poison hemlock, honeysuckle, and autumn olive,” is for, but not limited to, landowners, farmers, cemetery caretakers, Highway and County Road Departments workers and volunteers. At the workshop you will learn how to ID these invasive species, find timesaving and cost-efficient methods to remove unwanted, and sometimes dangerous, vegetation, and continue education credit available, for a fee, to those maintaining certifications. The schedule of sessions is: • 9 a.m. – a tour of the upland forest, wetland, and warm season grass and forb habitat types in Salamonie Lake’s manage-

This property originated as farm and family home sites with small acreages of forest. Some early management practices across the USA in the 1950s and beyond made some invasive species on these sites worse.

You will learn identification and hear about prioritizing and other financially and time-realistic management decisions. It will require driving to locations and a small amount of walking. The speaker will be Justin Emmons, DNR Wildlife Specialist.

• 11:30 a.m. – noon – Lunch provided by UWIN. Reservations are required. Contact 468-2127. • noon – 12:45 Invasive Scenarios and Discussion with speaker Geoff Schortgen, Purdue Extension about cost and time efficient solutions and how to schedule

the lumber with which to build a flourmill. The grain in the mill was crushed by huge stone burrs. The first mill was built out over the river and was washed away by flood waters. The present mill was built sometime between 1855 and 1857. Burrs were replaced by rollers. The power was, of course, water power. The building has three stories and a basement. The basement houses the power shafting and

the pulley that operates the machinery on the floor above. A huge hickory beam 50 feet long is in the building. Other beams are of oak, walnut and poplar. Flour was made commercially at the mill until 1964. This is the 165th year for the mill. If you have not visited the mill, you are missing one of Wabash County’s amazing attractions.

...continued from Page 18 many I received back … 11. This is a shame. Last year I sent out 96 again, Urbana got a little better, I received 18 back. I asked the postmaster how many P.O. Boxes are in use and she said around 40. That shocked me. Has Urbana really lost that many residents in two years? I know for a fact that there are some Urbana residents that flat out refuse to make any donations. They must think that this is not a very needy cause. I have gone before Paw Paw, Lagro, Wabash Trustees and pleaded my case about the streetlights to no avail. I have even written a letter to our state representative, to no

thankful. I want Urbana to be aware that I will be sending out postcards. These postcards will be asking for donations to help support the streetlights. Yes, I do a tenderloin fry every September. This helps out but not like I would like. Last year when I held the fry, there were only six Urbana residents who came out to support the event. I thanked them very much. The year before I only had maybe four Urbana residents. I don’t really understand why Urbana resident will not try to support a much needed, useful tool as the streetlights. For the last thee years I have sent out 96 postcards. Two years ago, out of 96, guess how

Well to make a long story short, I will be sending out a number of postcards this September in hopes that Urbana residents will help with the streetlights.

LAFONTAINE/LI BERTY TOWNSHIP HISTORY CLUB: 13 members attended. President Alec Guenin called the meeting to order. He opened by stating that Susie Goodpasture had ask to have the floor first. Susie then presented Alec with a gavel and round made by her husband Bob, from wood from their old barn and an oak tree from their woods. The meeting was then turned over to Oren Guenin to give the history lesson entitled “Genetics vs Environmental.” He also shared that Wabash had made the front page of the June 23, 2022 Indianapolis newspaper with an article on the 13-24 Drive-In Theater. It is one of only 20 left in the state of Indiana. To begin his presentation, Oren asked: “Do my ancestors have an effect on me? Am I like them? Why did my ancestor’s come here?” He said that his mothers’ side, (the Troyer side)

has been traced back to 1527 and some before, and that they came from Germany. Germans were mostly Catholic. The other faith was Ana Baptist. The Catholics believed in infant baptism. The Ana Baptist believed a child should be old enough to make their own decision as to when they were baptized. The Catholic’s would kill the Ana Baptist over these faith issues. At that time Switzerland was a peaceful country the Troyer’s moved to Switzerland. Do the Catholics moving into Switzerland in 1750, two of the Troyer brothers came to America settling down in Pennsylvania? There they became Amish. In 1812, battle broke out the family scattered as the Amish do not believe in war. One went to Canada others moved west. Oren’s second grandfather’s family then ended up in Ohio. His second great grandfather had 10 children and lost his wife to death. When he remarried, his second wife was Brethren. So, he was shunned from the Amish Faith and joined the Brethren Church. Some of the children had moved to Indiana. His granddad moved just west and a little south of LaFontaine. His family joined the LaFontaine Christian Church. He then told of how he as an adult had gone into different faiths. Could this have been genetics, environmental or free will? He told so many interesting stories on both sides of his fam-
