July 4, 2012 Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

It’s time to strike up the bandand light up the sky withManchester College’s annual 4th ofJuly Celebration in NorthManchester. The free communityparty begins at 8:30 p.m. on July 4at the athletic grounds ofManchester University, with fire-works at 10 p.m. Manchester’s Independence Day

gift to the community last yearwowed more than 1,500 visitorswith music, a patriotic speech ortwo, $1 food, kites for kids and fire-works, of course.The Manchester Civic Band

sparks the evening, led by ReggieSmith in favorite patriotic tunesand toe-tappers. A welcome at 9p.m. is followed by patriotic read-ings by community members. Crowd favorite Bart Corricelli,

an Iwo Jima veteran and formercommander of the Eel RiverAmerican Legion Post, will primethe patriotism.

Manchester underwrites the$5,000 cost of the fireworks, whichtown firefighters launch on theeast edge of campus. Guests willwant to bring lawn chairs or blan-kets for the band’s performance,near the Physical Education andRecreation Center (PERC).Afterward, the soccer field bleach-ers provide a premium view of thefireworks. Beware, they fill quick-ly.North Manchester Rotary will

serve up $1 hot dogs, popcorn,peanuts, water and soda through-out the evening to benefit localcommunity projects and readingprograms.For safety of the guests and cam-

pus, sparklers and other personalfireworks are not permitted. Therain date is Thursday, July 5, at thesame time and place.For directions to the Manchester

campus, visitwww.manchester.edu.

by Danielle SwanThe June 25 meeting of Wabash

City Council began with threeordinances being passed on secondreading. The first was to vacate aportion of Daniels Street betweenOrchard and Branch streets. Thesecond ordinance amended theCity Code to bring it up to datewith the current practice of ask-ing contractors to make repairs tostreets damaged during the courseof their work. The third ordinance amended

City Code to address the issue ofhandicapped parking spaces with-in the city. Council Member JoanHaag asked if any Downtown mer-chants had expressed concernregarding the parking ordinance.Council members and MayorVanlandingham reported that noone had expressed concern. At the request of constituents,

Council Member Haag asked ifthere has ever been Council dis-cussion regarding a requirementthat trains refrain from soundinghorns in areas that have gates.City Attorney Doug Lehmanreported that federal statuterequires that every crossing beoutfitted with gates before a citymay require trains to silence theirhorns. Several crossings in Wabash are

not outfitted with the necessarygates. Lehman also mentioned thatoccasionally the gates malfunctionor people disregard them so thehorns still serve a purpose even at

crossings that do have gatesinstalled.Council Member Bonnie Corn

inquired about the status of the$600,000 Brownfield AssessmentGrant. Mayor Vanlandinghamresponded that no action has beentaken, but that community leadersin Wabash and North Manchesterare identifying areas that theyhope to have examined.Mayor Vanlandingham had until

June 27 to determine if the annualpublic fireworks display would beheld despite the dry conditions andburn ban in place. He ended upmaking the decision to cancel thefireworks. The display has beenrescheduled for Sept. 1. Some council members

expressed concern regarding regu-lation of private fireworks dis-plays. Lehman informed the groupthat cities and counties have noauthority to ban fireworks, evenunder a burn ban.“What I can say is anybody who

fires off fireworks in this kind ofcondition is going to be liable if itstarts a fire and you’re talkingabout the possibility of a prettyexpensive fire,” Lehman said.As of July 2, Wabash County

was still under a burn ban.Mayor Vanlandingham closed

the meeting by reading a letter ofcongratulations to Northfield’sbaseball team for earning the StateChampionship.

native Brad Wilsonrealizes he’s luckyenough to both lovehis job and be help-ing people in theprocess.Wilson was recent-

ly named the headpilot of theSamaritan helicop-ter, a flying ambu-lance that transportspatients for ParkviewRegional Hospital inFort Wayne.“When you get to

enjoy what you aredoing so much andyou also get to dosomething that helpsother people, that’s arare thing,” Wilsonsaid to The Paper.“It’s not really a job

you get a lot of praisefor, but when youhave a family mem-ber of someoneyou’ve flown andsomeone you’vehelped and they rec-ognize you and thankyou, you really feelgood about yourself. “It feels good to

help people.”Wilson has been

flying helicoptersand airplanes for 23years since his daysin the Army. Hebegan flying helicop-ters in Chicago forthe NBC news affili-ate and also theLoyala UniversityHospital before mov-ing to Fort Wayne in2002.Wilson said one of

the reasons he tookthe job in Fort Waynewas to be closer to hisfamily. Despite beingborn in Wabash, hegrew up in FortWayne. In fact, hisfirst emergency flightfor ParkviewRegional was toWabash CountyHospital, where hewas born.“I was born in

Wabash and I grewup in Fort Wayne andmy parents are stillon the west side ofWabash,” Wilsonsaid.“When I had an

opportunity to flywith Samaritan, Itook it. That way, myfamily could be

together more insteadof having to drivefrom Chicago.”He said he took the

job when the formerlead pilot wanted tospend more time withhis family.“The last lead pilot

was close to retiring,”he said. “He wantedmore time to drive tohis father in Peru andhe wanted someoneelse to take over whathe has been in chargeof all these years.”Wilson currently

works nights. Hisworkday begins at 6:30p.m. and lasts until6:30 a.m.“On any given day, I

could be doing noth-ing but sitting downand doing paperworkto having absolutelyno time and doingflights all night,”Wilson said.“It’s pretty busy in

the summertime withpeople being outsideand doing morethings. Things getbusy with people boat-ing and stuff like that.And, there’s alwaysstuff to do back in theoffice when I’m not on

a flight, too. “I take care of the

payroll, keep track ofdocuments, and youhave to fill out someother paperwork afterevery flight.”With the tempera-

tures hovering abovetriple digits, Wilsonhas been needed inthe helicopter morethan usual.“On top of it

already being morebusy in summer, youget a few more callsbecause of heartattacks and strokes,”he said.“These are people

who might be pushingit to begin with,though.”Wilson said the

Samaritan isequipped with all ofthe up-to-date technol-ogy.“It has autopilot,

radar, XM weather—ifwe pick someone upand the ER staffdecides we need to goto Indianapolis, wecan check how theweather is right thenand decide if we cango,” he said.“We also have night

vision goggles and theSamaritan has thescreens for thosetypes of things. Itdoes everything.”Parkview Hospital

doesn’t own theSamaritan helicopter,noted Wilson. Wilsonworks for and theSamaritan is ownedby Air MethodsCorporation (AMC).“I’m also kind of

the middle manbetween the hospitaland AMC and Ismooth things overbetween the two,” hesaid.“AMC takes care of

the pilots and themaintenance for thehelicopters so the hos-pital doesn’t have toworry about it. “Parkview leases

the aircraft. AMCmakes it easier onthem.” Wilson’s parents,

Dan and MelindaWilson, currentlyreside in ruralWabash. His grand-mother, Jean Wilson,and his uncle, JonWilson, also live inWabash County.

Dear editorFirst, a big thank

you goes out to all ofthe staff of WabashCounty schools forbeing so receptiveand truly caringabout our kids in

Wabash County. Ittakes a lot of peopleto make these thingshappen. We dealt with sub-

jects from bullyingand the effects onyour health, to asth-

ma with lots of class-es given on “Don’tStart” smoking pro-grams. The averageage in the U.S. whenmost kids startsmoking is 8 to 10years old. Through

all our programsincluding lunchtimehealth fairs, I havebeen with over 4,000kids. I believe this gen-

eration of kids isgoing to be muchsmarter about smok-ing and the otherheath issues due tobeing educated bet-ter. We are so fortu-

nate to live in a com-munity that trulycares about our kids.Wabash County

Hospital Foundationwould like to thankthe following; LivingEssentials, for spon-soring our pro-grams, MentalHealth Association,for bullying books,YMCA, for family

passes, Pizza Hut, forpizza coupons, andthe Cancer Society,for Educationalbrochures. Thankyou all so much.

Questions and con-cerns about the poten-tial of Indiana’s corncrop are increasinglyon the minds of grow-ers throughout thestate, especially inareas hardest hit by thecurrent drought.Rainfall continues tobe hit or miss as isolat-ed storms rumblethrough the state, drop-

ping decent amounts ofrain here and there butmissing large areasentirely The moderate tem-

peratures enjoyedthroughout the statesince the end of Maydelayed the onset ofsevere drought stresssymptoms in manyareas, but those tem-peratures have recent-

ly climbed to above-normal levels and, cou-pled with excessivelydry soil conditions,increasingly reveal theseverity of the situa-tion in field after field.Areas in the state havealready “gone over thebrink” to disaster sta-tus relative to yieldpotential. Eighty-seven percent

of the state is current-ly estimated to havesubsoil moisture con-tent that is rated shortto very short and ishigher for this time ofthe season than anyyear since 1988.Estimated crop condi-tion continues to wors-en; down to 27 percentgood to excellent as ofJune 24 and is lower forthis time of the seasonthan any year since1988. For some, the effects

of the drought beganafter planting in fieldswhere seedbed mois-ture was simply inade-quate for germinationand emergence of thecrop. Large areas inthese fields are simplydevoid of corn or soy-bean plants. With norainfall after planting,many farmers electednot to attempt replanti-ng knowing that thesecond attempt atestablishing a cropwould not be success-ful. The lost yieldpotential in such fieldsobviously cannot berecovered. For other fields

where initial standestablishment was sat-isfactory, the severityof the drought stresson crop developmenthas slowly becomeworse and/or has esca-lated in recent weeksas the combination ofdrought and heat stressworsens. The severityof the stress is such insome fields that plantsare simply dying. Somegrowers have already

worked with their cropinsurance adjusters toassess the yield losspotential of their dam-aged fields and havebasically abandonedthe crop for this year.Statewide Effects?This early in the sea-

son, it is difficult toestimate the effects ofthe drought on theeventual statewideaverage grain yieldbecause we cannotaccurately forecast theweather for theremainder of the sea-son. Trend yield with“normal” weather forcorn in Indiana for2012 would be 163bushels per acre (bpa). There is a moderate

linear relationshipbetween crop conditionratings (percent goodand excellent) through-out June and grainyield at the end of theseason that accountsfor about 33 percent ofthe variability in his-torical grain yields.Based on that relation-ship alone, the predict-ed statewide averagegrain yield for corn asof the end of Junewould be 145 bpa ornearly 11 percent belowthe trend yield. However, if the

drought continues andcrop condition wors-ens, this estimatewould quickly becomeoutdated. For compari-son, statewide grainyield for the droughtyears 1988 and 1991were 31 percent and 27percent below trendyield, respectively.

Much of the state’scorn crop will enter thecritical pollinationphase over the next twoor three weeks Continued lack of

adequate rainfall dur-ing this period willplace undue stress onthe crop. Forecastexcessive heat duringthe same time periodwill only amplify thestress; resulting indelayed silk emer-gence, prematurepollen shed, tasselsfailing to emerge fromwhorls, potentiallyinviable silks or pollen,poor synchronybetween exposure ofsilks and availability ofpollen, incomplete pol-lination success, orabortion of newlydeveloping kernels.Yield loss per day dur-ing pollination due tosevere stress is oftenestimated to be 5 to 10percent. Yield loss forany given field couldeasily approach 100percent with continueddrought/heat stressdue to complete failureof the pollinationprocess. Assessing Drought

Effects on YieldGrowers who elect

not to abandondrought-stressed fieldsprior to pollinationwill be wanting toassess the yield poten-tial of their fields priorto harvest in order toestimate the potentialloss of net incomeand/or to revise theirgrain marketing strate-gies for this fall.

Assessing yield poten-tial for an individualfield cannot be donewith any accuracyprior to pollination,but rather depends onassessing kernel setlater in the grain fill-ing period. The chal-lenge with assessingyield potential ofdrought-stressed fieldsis that of obtaining earsamples that adequate-ly captures the vari-ability of the yieldpotential throughout adamaged field. Immediately follow-

ing pollinationGiven the severity of

the drought stress insome fields, growersmay want to assess thesuccess of pollinationitself within the firstweek after pollen shedby sampling ears andconducting the so-called “ear shake” Thisassessment simplygauges the degree towhich pollen success-fully fertilized theovules on the ears viathe silks, but does notpredict the risk of ker-nel abortion in the fewweeks following polli-nation or estimategrain yield. However,the test will at leastgive you an ideawhether pollinationwas an absolute failureor was moderately suc-cessful. Unfortunately,there will be fields thatappear to be only mod-erately stressedaccording to wind-shield surveys that, infact, are severelystressed to the pointthat pollination will bea near or total failure.Better to find out thebad news soon ratherthan be totally shockedlater in the season. Prior to harvestAssuming that polli-

nation occurs success-fully, then pre-harvestgrain yield estimationrevolves around kernelabortion and grain fill-ing. Unfortunately, onecannot begin to esti-mate grain yield for anindividual drought-stressed field until thecrop is beyond the milkstage of the grain-fill-ing period where therisk of kernel abortiontapers off. The risk ofkernel abortion isgreatest immediatelyfollowing successfulpollination anddecreases to nearlyzero by about mid-milkstage of grain fill. Oncethe crop reaches or sur-passes the dough stageof grain fill, the “ball-park” grain yieldpotential can be esti-mated by documentingeffective plant popula-tions and samplingears throughout thefield.

A Weekly Guide To Managing Your Wealth From

FIRST MERCHANTSTRUST COMPANY

As a parent, youmay have con-cerns about yourchildren’s abilityto handle the as-sets they willsomeday inheritfrom you. Per-haps you feel thatyour childrenlack the financial

maturity to manage and protect a siz-able inheritance. Or, maybe you’re wor-ried that sudden wealth could have anegative impact on them in terms of re-taining values and a good work ethic.One popular solution to this concern isthe use of an incentive trust. Suchtrusts can reward or discourage a widerange of behaviors on your beneficiary’spart. You simply set up guidelines thatyou believe your children should follow.Since you create those conditionswithin a legally binding trust agree-ment, you can be certain that distribu-tions will be made only if your terms aremet. Here are some common types of provi-sions included in incentive trusts.• Education — You may require your

children to finish a certain level of edu-cation or maintain a certain grade pointaverage to qualify to receive trust funds.• Family Business/Employment —

You could reward a beneficiary who

takes over a family business. Or,you could encourage gainful em-ployment by matching a percent-age of the income that yourchildren earn.• Charitable Causes — To

promote philanthropy, you mightset up a trust that will match yourchild’s charitable donations orprovide incentives for the per-formance of volunteer work. • Healthy Lifestyle — You

could restrict the distribution oftrust funds to your children ifthey engage in destructive or ille-gal activities. When placing conditions on aninheritance, it is important tobuild in flexibility so that thetrust provisions do not provecounterproductive. Be sure to ex-plain the incentives clearly inyour trust agreement. Think care-fully about what you’re trying toaccomplish and try to make theincentives simple and achievable.We can help! If you would like tofind out more about how your es-tate might benefit from the use ofan incentive trust, please contactus at 260-726-7158. Our experi-enced professionals will be happyto help.

HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE

While summershould be a time offun, exploration andrelaxation, many chil-dren are left withoutthe nutrition theyneed to learn, growand thrive. More than21 million childrenlose access to free orreduced-cost mealsonce the school yearends, according to theU.S. Department ofAgriculture (USDA).To ensure that chil-dren in WabashCounty have access tofood year-round, theWabash CountyYMCA is offering freehealthy meals andsnacks through itssummer food pro-gram, thanks to a$15,000 grant fundedby the WalmartFoundation. The Y has part-

nered with theWalmart Foundationto address childhunger in communi-ties, with a focus on

increasing participa-tion in the USDA’sSummer Food ServiceProgram (SFSP),which provides freemeals to childrenaged 18 and underwhile school is out.According to the FoodResearch and ActionCenter, only in one inseven children whodepend on free orreduced-cost mealsduring the schoolyear received mealsthough the SFSP lastsummer. This sum-mer, more than 300 Ysnationwide will offersummer food pro-grams with a collec-tive goal to serve 5million healthy mealsand snacks to 100,000children. Here inWabash County, the Yplans to serve about9600 meals and/orsnacks to help about300 of children staywell-nourished.“For some children

in our communities,

the end of the schoolyear means end ofmeals,” said BillBarrows, SeniorProgram Director,Wabash CountyYMCA. “At the Y, weare focused on mak-ing sure children stayhealthy and well-nourished. Thanks tothe partnership withthe WalmartFoundation, our Ywill be able to providemeals to children inthe community whoneed them most.” “At Walmart, we

recognize the need tosupport the develop-ment of our nation’syouth,” said SylviaMathews Burwell,president of theWalmart Foundation.“We know that pro-viding access tohealthy meals duringthe summer monthswill enable studentsto return to schoolhealthy, prepared andready to succeed. By

working closely withthe Wabash CountyYMCA, we can helpkids have better sum-mers and, ultimately,better lives.”As part of the

Wabash CountyYMCA’s summerbackpack food pro-gram, children aged18 and under will con-tinue to receive twomeals a day for theweekend. Not onlywill this help hun-dreds of children staywell-nourished, activeand energized allsummer long, but italso will alleviate thestrain on family foodbudgets when schoolis out. As a leadingnonprofit committedto strengtheningcommunity throughyouth development,healthy living andsocial responsibility,the Y is focused onensuring that allchildren have accessto food and maintain

good health. Ourbackpack programpiggy backs theWabash CitySchool’s summerfood program inwhich the YMCA is asite location. Nationally, the Y is

a partner in theW a l m a r tFoundation’s 2012Summer GivingCampaign, whichhas committed morethan $20 million ingrants to expandnutrition, learningand employmentprograms for ele-mentary, middle andhigh school studentsin more than 350communities.

The hot, dry condi-tions Indiana is expe-riencing this summermake fireworks espe-cially hazardous.Dry grasses, forests

and fields are espe-cially combustiblebecause of thedrought conditionsacross Indiana, saidSteve Creech, aretired state fire coor-dinator and lecturerfor PurdueU n i v e r s i t y ’ sDepartment forForestry and NaturalResources.“Normally when

you shoot off a fire-work and it lands insomeone else’s yard,that’s not too big of arisk, but that’s not thecase this year,”Creech said. “Withthe drought we’reexperiencing, there’sa heightened risk offireworks starting a

fire off-site andspreading quickly.”Those grasses and

other easily com-bustible items areknown as “fine, flashyfuels,” and Creechsaid they pose a riskto start a fire that canget out of controlquickly.“They will ignite

very easily, and theywill spread rapidly,especially if there’s awind behind them,”Creech said.“Sometimes they’llspread faster than aperson can walk.Those fires can get tostructures before any-one has time to react.”Creech suggested

that anyone shootingoff fireworks find anarea such as a largeparking lot that ispaved and nowherenear combustiblematerials. Better than

that, even, would be towait until after a pro-longed, soaking raincan add more mois-ture to the ground andvegetation to reducethe risk.Other unattended

or discarded sourcesare also at heightenedrisk for causing fires,Creech said.Discarded cigarettesare more likely toignite grasses, andcampfires or otheropen burning sourcescould send embersquite a distance whileremaining viablesources of combus-tion.“We’re seeing con-

ditions now that peo-ple haven’t seenbefore,” Creech said.“There’s a possibilityfor significant loss ifpeople aren’t extreme-ly careful with fire-works.”

If you have lived inMiami County most ofyour life, chances arethat you have walkedthe Lost Sister Trail,either as a fifth gradestudent or as an adultleader on the annualLost Sister Trail field-trips that take placeduring the month ofMay.

This year marksthe 30th year of thefieldtrips, whichincludes all MiamiCounty fifth graders.The trail was blazedin 1982 by the MiamiCo. Soil and WaterConservation District(SWCD) and SoilConservation Service,in cooperation withDNR. Jane Hardisty,now Indiana’s StateConservationist forUSDA-NRCS, was akey leader in estab-lishing the trail,which was funded bya state grant. Manyhours of labor weredonated by RuralYouth, 4-H, civicgroups and others, inorder to complete thetrail. The trail’s entrance

is in the FrancesSlocum picnic area,near the east end ofthe MississinewaDam. A large signshaped like an Indianspearhead is locatedat the entrance of thetrail. The “LostSister” was the namegiven Frances Slocumby the Indians after

The Lost Sister Trail Program completed 30 years on June 14she was captured bythem at her home inPennsylvania. The one and one-

half mile trail is easyto walk with onlymoderate slopes. Ittakes about two hoursto complete if hikerspause to stop at therecommended 22 sta-tions. Features alongthe trail focus on theimportance of natu-ral resources and howthe continual conser-vation of land is nec-essary to sustain life-giving resources.Brochures for the self-guided trail are avail-able at theMississinewa office. This year 450 stu-

dents from NorthMiami, Peru andMaconaquah schooldistricts, and approxi-mately 90 adultsattended the field-trips. Before the stu-dents embark on thetrail they are provid-ed some activities tohelp them be betterprepared for whatthey may see on thetrail. LocalConservation Officersare also on hand toprovide students withinformation abouthow their job relatesto the reservoir andtheir importance tohelping peopleinvolved in recreationstay safe.

At the end of theday the studentsreceive a tree seedlinggiven by the MiamiCo. SWCD as areminder of their dayon the trail. Many 5thgrade teachers saythat this is their stu-dents’ favorite field-

trip of the year. This summer as

you look for localrecreational activitiesto do with your familytake a hike on theLost Sister Trail. Formore info, contact theMiami Co SWCD at765-473-6753 ext. 3.

More than 300 for-mer graduates ofCentral, Chester,Laketon andManchester HighSchool, 1962 gradu-ates having thelargest representa-tion, gathered June23, for the thirdreunion ofManchester alumni. Eyes were focused

on name tags, produc-ing big smiles andmany hugs during thesocial time prior tothe program. The pro-gram heading read“Celebrating the 3R’s” but the celebra-tion was perhapsmore about celebrat-ing growing up in asmall place where youknow your classmatesand fellow students,enjoy tremendouscommunity supportand know as the yearsgo by you will alwaysbe welcome home.Jim Smith served

the ManchesterCommunity Schoolsin several capacitiesfrom 1984 until 1998,including AssistantPrincipal, AthleticDirector, High SchoolPrincipal andA s s i s t a n tSuperintendent. Heand his wife returnedto North Manchesterafter retirement andcontinue to serve thecommunity in a vari-ety of positions. Anobvious advocate ofNorth Manchester,Smith was a perfectchoice for Master ofCeremonies. He keptthe program movingwith precision inter-spersed with his typi-cal clever comments.Ruby Muir graduat-

ed from Laketon HighSchool in 1936. DerekSelf graduated fromManchester HighSchool in 2012.Saturday afternoon,both Muir and Selfattended the sameevent: this all inclu-sive reunion. Muirwas recognized as theoldest graduate inattendance. One ofthe youngest in atten-dance, Derek Self, is aname to rememberand follow, judgingfrom his vocal contri-butions to the pro-gram. Someone wasoverheard comment-ing “This young mansings the NationalAnthem just the wayit should be sung.”Equally moving washis rendition of “YouRaise Me Up” as theballoons werereleased to celebratethe lives of those whodied this past year.Aaron Johnson,

Sarrah Dierks, DerekSelf and Emily Grantare members of the diCantanti ChoralGroups ofManchester HighSchool under thedirection of Marilyn
