by Shaun TilghmanOn April 25, a pub-

lic hearing will beheld at 6 p.m., preced-ing the scheduledWabash City Councilmeeting, to discussthe annexation ofalmost 270 acres ofland, west of SR 13and north of U.S. 24,into the city.

The annexationprocess began duringthe City Council meet-ing on March 28,when members votedunanimously toapprove petitionsfrom City of WabashMayor BobVanlandingham, rep-resenting approxi-mately 241 acres ofcity-owned land, andKellam, Inc. PresidentJeff Kellam, repre-senting approximate-ly five acres of land,respectively. Sincethat time, two addi-tional property own-ers have requested tobe part of the annexa-tion: the owner of thedrive-in movie theaterlocated at 890 N. SR 13,representing close to17 acres of land, andDick Tracy, owner of

Dick Tracy AutoSales, 697 W 50 N, rep-resenting just overfour acres of land,respectively.

According to CityAttorney DougLehman, there are atleast three ways toundertake an annexa-tion.

“One way is that thecity can say it wantsto annex a certainarea and gives noticeto everybody, thenthey can come in andoppose it,” Lehmansaid. “The second wayis sort of called a vol-untary annexation; ifa percentage of thenumber of propertyowners and a certainpercentage of theassessed valuationask to be annexed,then the city can gothrough an annexa-tion process and youcan also annex oneswho were opposed toit. We’re not going togo either of thoseroutes.

ANNEXATION: The areas outlined in yellow (above) show approximate boundaries of land thatwill potentially be annexed into the city within coming months. The four properties, which totalalmost 270 acres, are located west of SR 13 and north of U.S. 24, and their proposed annexation willbe discussed prior to the Wabash City Council meeting on April 25.

Annexation process continues; land involved increases

owners of the proper-ty to be annexed agreethat they want to beannexed. In fact, theysign a petition askingto be annexed – that’swhat happened at theMarch 28 meeting ofthe City Council.”

Lehman went on tosay that they hadanticipated the movietheater land to even-tually be involved,and they also knewTracy had been givingit some thought. Afterthe properties

requesting annexa-tion had been identi-fied, a notice was pub-lished in the localnewspapers announc-ing the public hearingabout the annexation.

“Anybody who hasany opinions about

the annexation cancome to that meetingand express theirthoughts,” Lehmanexplained. “Then, atthe council meeting,after the public hear-ing has been held,

Wabash to host 40th anniversary reunion of USS Wabashby Danielle SmithMost Wabash resi-

dents are unawarethat the name of ourcity has traveledaround the world on agroup of ships bear-ing its name. The firstUSS Wabash was com-missioned in 1856, andthe fourth and finalship bearing thename, USS Wabash(AOR 5), was commis-sioned in 1971.

The majority of thesurviving veteransthat served on any ofthe USS Wabash shipsserved on the AOR 5,and are veterans ofthe Vietnam War. Ofall the men thatserved on the ship,only three have actu-ally visited the City ofWabash. Those three

deemed it appropriateto hold the 40threunion of the USSWabash shipmates inour town.

The USS Wabash(AOR 5) was commis-sioned in Boston,Mass. Her maidenvoyage was a cruisearound SouthAmerica. This cruisewould prove to bequite eventful.

“They collided witha whale and that waskind of a sad dealbecause the whalewas killed,” said BudBeery, Kansas, whowas stationed on theUSS Wabash (AOR 5).“Then they lost ananchor chain at onepoint.”

The ship landed inLong Beach, Calif.,

and spent a few yearsthere then went on acruise of the WesternPacific throughHawaii, Guam and thePhillipines. She thenreturned toCalifornia, docking inAlomeda.

“I came on board inNovember 1976 and Iwas stationed on theWabash until August1980. That was thebulk of my navalcareer, and I didn’tlearn until about 20years later that theywere four of the bestyears of my life,”Beery said. He wenton to elaborate onsome of his experi-ences from the ship.

“We went up theColumbia River forthe Rose Festival in

Portland, Ore., and wehad picked up about100 civilians at themouth of theColumbia River toride with us. TheAOR’s have what theycall fueling posts andthey extend very farout on the sides offthe ship. We werecoming into the lastdrawbridge and wecollided with thedrawbridge with oneof our fueling postsand caused a little bitof a ruckus.Thankfully no onewas hurt,” Beeryrelated.

While the ship andits crew were inPortland, Mount St.Helens erupted for thesecond time and vol-canic ash blanketed(continued on page 7)

The IndianaDepartment ofT r a n s p o r t a t i o n(INDOT) Fort WayneDistrict recentlyannounced SR 15,between ThomasRoad and E. 1000 S.,will be restricted for abridge reconstructionproject until theexpected completionin late November.Motorists shouldexpect the road to berestricted to one lanewith a temporary

four-way stop.The project was

awarded to BeatyContractors for thecompany’s low bid of$1 million.

The project beginson the heels ofHighway Work ZoneSafety Awarenessweek. On average,four out of every fivepeople killed in high-way work zones aredrivers or passengers,not highway workers,so INDOT is joining

with traffic safety per-sonnel nationwide tostress “Safer Driving.Safer Work Zones. ForEveryone.” Accordingto the latest IndianaCrash Facts publica-tion, 12 people werekilled and 602 peoplewere injured in workzone crashes during2010.

To avoid becominga statistic, INDOTurges drivers to exer-cise extreme cautionwhile driving throughwork zones.Additional informa-tion can be found atINDOT’s work zonesafety website,www.WorkZoneSafety.IN.gov.

SR 15 restriction in placeuntil late November

The warm tempera-tures of spring meanthe unofficial start ofthe highway construc-tion season in Indiana.According to theIndiana Department ofT r a n s p o r t a t i o n(INDOT), there areover $1.5 billion in newhighway projects slat-ed to begin construc-tion throughout thestate. This will createthe need for numerousconstruction zonesthroughout Indiana.

These zones willrequire motorists toconstantly observe andbe prepared to react toever changing roadconditions. Reckless

driving in a construc-tion zone is not only alife threatening hazardto highway workers; itoften proves deadly tothe motoring public. In2010, 12 people died and602 people were injuredin work zone crashesthroughout Indiana.

In an effort to reducedeaths and injuries inwork zones, theIndiana State Policehave assigned troopersto work overtime inconstruction zones toaggressively enforceIndiana’s traffic laws.If motorists arestopped for a trafficinfraction in a con-struction zone, theyshould expect to beissued a citation.Motorists should bewarned that steeperfines and penaltiesawait drivers convictedof speeding or recklessdriving in a work zone.Signs posted in mostwork zones warnspeeding drivers thatthey can face fines upto $1,000, reckless oraggressive drivers canface fines up to $5,000,

and drivers whosereckless behaviorcause injury or deathto a highway workercan face up to 8 yearsin prison and a $10,000fine.

The Indiana StatePolice encourage allmotorists to driveresponsibly and volun-tarily comply withIndiana’s traffic laws.Troopers offer thesetips to keep all workersand drivers in con-struction zones safe.

Watch for orange“Road ConstructionAhead” signs and beprepared to react tostopped or slowing traf-fic. Follow all lanerestrictions as posted.

Do not tailgate andkeep your brakes main-tained so you can stopin time. Most injuriesand deaths in workzones are caused byrear-end collisions.Obey the posted workzone speed limit.

Do not cut othervehicles off or changelanes across solidwhite lines. Signal alllane changes.

Make sure all occu-pants in your vehicleare properly securedwith a seat belt or childsafety seat. Seat beltssave lives and help pre-vent minor crashesfrom becoming majorcatastrophes.

Do not engage in dis-tracting behavior suchas talking on a cellphone, texting, chang-ing radio stations, eat-ing, applying makeup,or talking to passen-gers.

Drivers are encour-aged to avoid the con-gested road conditionsoften associated withconstruction zones byseeking alternateroutes of travel.Drivers can learn thelocations of road con-struction zones beforethey depart by callingINDOT’s TrafficWise at1-800-261-ROAD (7623)or on the Internet atwww.TrafficWise.IN.gov. Portable and perma-nent electronic mes-sage signs are also uti-lized to communicatemessages to the public.

On April 14,Indiana’s SenateCommittee onElections voted 6-2 insupport of newboundaries for stateSenate districts thatare more compact andrespect most countyand township lineswhile preservingcommunities of inter-est and all votingprecincts.

Members of theelections panel alsovoted 7-2 in support ofCongressional dis-tricts, which consid-ered populationshifts, communities ofinterests along withgeographical andpolitical boundaries.Both proposals nowmove to the fullSenate for considera-tion.

Sen. Sue Landske(R-Cedar Lake), chairof the committee, saidevery 10 years the leg-islature is chargedwith reviewing stateSenate andCongressional dis-tricts and implement-ing changes based onpopulation datareceived from the fed-eral census.

“This year, mem-bers of the House andSenate elections com-mittees held nine pub-lic hearings through-out the state to gatherinput on the redis-tricting process,”Landske said. “Atthese meetings,Hoosiers continuous-ly called for districtboundaries that weremore simply shaped,compact and respect-ed communities of

interest. I believethese maps accom-plish those goals.”

Sen. ConnieLawson (R-Danville),ranking member ofthe committee, saidnearly all of theSenate districtsrequired configura-tion changes becauseof significant shiftsin populations in var-ious areas of thestate. She said inadjusting to thesechanges, lawmakersused an ideal popula-tion of 129,676 foreach Senate district.This resulted in a pop-ulation deviation ofless than one percentin 72 percent of theSenate districts.

Lawson said newCongressional dis-tricts are based on afixed population of720,422 Hoosiers.

“The committeewas successful in cre-ating fiveCongressional dis-tricts with zero devia-tion and four that areone person over theideal population for adistrict,” Lawsonsaid. “The proposedplan forCongressional dis-tricts keeps 83 of the92 counties intact,and the remainingnine are split betweentwo districts.”

In addition to draw-ing more compact dis-tricts that respectcounty and precinctlines while preserv-ing communities ofinterest, the biparti-san committeeworked to ensure theywere in complete

compliance with theFederal Voting RightsAct protecting minor-ity voting rights,Landske added.

Conservation Officerswith the IndianaDepartment of NaturalResources encourageyouth turkey huntersparticipating in theApril 23-24 youth seasonto review the followingbasic hunting safetyguidelines and laws:

- Do not load yourfirearm until ready touse. Always keep yourfirearm pointed in a safedirection, and keep yourfinger off the triggeruntil ready to shoot.

- Always rememberthat other hunters orpersons may be presentin the area.

- Choose a huntingposition that gives you agood field of view, notonly of an approachingturkey, but also of otherhunters who may be inthe area.

- Call out or whistle toother hunters who mayapproach; never wave orstand up.

- Never wear clothingor use accessories thatare red, white or blue. Agobbler turkey head canbe any and all of these

three colors.- Always identify your

target and what isbeyond before taking ashot. Never shoot atmovement or sound.

- Always use a flash-light when walking inthe dark; it reduces therisk of being mistakenfor game by someoneelse.

Persons 17 years oldor younger may huntwild turkeys during the

2011 spring youth turkeyhunt but must be accom-panied by an adult atleast 18 years old. Theyouth may use any legalshotgun, bow and arrow,or crossbow and must beproperly licensed.

Wild turkeys may behunted only from one-half hour before sunriseto sunset. Huntinghours may vary on somestate properties.

fields can compact thesoil, limit corn rootgrowth when it dries,and reduce yieldsand, therefore,income.

“Do not rush soilpreparation andplanting where root-ing ability will beimpaired,” Vyn said.“Be kind to your soilthis year. It is yourlivelihood.”

Stormy weatherthat Indiana andother northern corn-belt states enduredover the winter isexpected to continue,according to theIndiana StateClimatologist DevNiyogi. The culprit isLa Niña, whose coolPacific Ocean air con-tinues to stir upstorms across thenorthern states.

Because many soilswere saturated duringthe winter, continuedstorms from La Niñawill increase thechances of floodingthis spring.

Although La Niñais expected to weakenlater in the spring,cool and wet condi-tions in northernstates could extendinto early summerbecause of lingeringwet soils.

Drought that hadgripped Indiana sincelast fall has endedbecause of the LaNiña-driven snow andrain over the winter.Most of the northernhalf of the state, how-

time when commodi-ty prices are so high,he said some farmersmight be too anxiousto start planting theirpotentially highestgross-income corncrop ever.

“Although it isunderstandable thatcorn farmers want toplant the bulk of theirintended acreage in atimely manner, mini-mizing their risk ofyield-limiting plant-ing delays should notbe their top concernin April,” he said.

At this point, limit-ing soil compaction inand below the seedbedis most important,Vyn said. Runningtillage equipment andplanters on soaked

Farmers shouldavoid rushing intotheir fields but ratherwait for the right con-ditions as the plant-ing season beginsamid forecasts of astormy and cooler-than-normal spring, aPurdue Extensionagronomy specialistadvises.

“The main twowords for this springare ‘Be patient,’”Tony Vyn said.

Farmers who tilland plant their fieldsonly when soil condi-tions are optimalstand a better chanceof being rewarded atharvest with higheryields, Vyn said. At a

ever, still was abnor-mally dry in earlyApril.

Vyn said Indianafarmers should notdetermine their needfor planting progressby what they achievedlast year, when plant-ing and harvest wereunusually early; anearly start does notnecessarily result in abigger crop. Last year,71 percent of the corncrop was planted bythe first week of May,with farmers ulti-mately harvesting anaverage of 157 bushelsper acre. At the samepoint in 2009, howev-er, farmers had plant-ed only 5 percent ofcorn, but yields aver-aged 171 bushels peracre – a record.

“Just becauseyou’re delayed some-what compared with2010 or more normalyears such as 2005 to2008 doesn’t automati-

cally mean you’re lim-iting yield potential,”he said. Corn yieldsdepend more onweather conditionsduring flowering andearly grain fill.

Vyn said he wouldnot be too concernedwith plantingprogress until thefirst week of May,when half of the corncrop typically isplanted. He is evenless concerned aboutsoybeans at this timebecause planting forthat crop usually lagstwo weeks behindcorn.

Much of the pre-planting field prepa-ration work, such asprimary tillage andbulk nutrient or limeapplications, has beendone in Indiana, Vynsaid. Some corn plant-ing began the firstweekend of April.

Vyn encouragedfarmers to read publi-

cations that can helpthem better managetheir field operations,such as how to usenitrogen fertilizermost effectively.

“While farmers arewaiting for their soilsto dry before planting,they should double-check whether theyhave planned for suffi-cient nitrogen fertiliz-er,” he said. “In manyfarms, pre-plant nitro-gen has already beenapplied, but more willsoon be applied onother farms thatapply pre-emerge orside-dress nitrogen.”

Indiana University-Purdue UniversityFort Wayne (IPFW) isone of 11 colleges anduniversities nation-wide recognized byUniversity Businessmagazine’s ‘Models ofEfficiency’ program –a program sponsoredby Higher One, a com-pany that assists incollege businessoffice operations. TheModels of Efficiencyprogram recognizesinnovative approach-es for streamlininghigher educationoperations throughtechnology or busi-ness process improve-ments.

“Efficient businessoperations translateinto better experi-ences for students andadministrators alike,and the Models of

Efficiency programaims to encourageschools to prioritizeservice,” said TimGoral, editor-in-chiefof UniversityBusiness. “IndianaU n ive r s i t y - P u r d u eUniversity Fort Waynestands out for develop-ing a very effectivesolution to a challeng-ing situation.”

The university cre-ated a student-basedcall center to helpfield countless calls tothe financial aidoffices that flood theschool in the summermonths as students,especially incomingfreshman, call withquestions. Summer isnormally a busy timefor the financial aidoffices with numbersto verify, packages toassemble and distrib-

ute and appeals to han-dle. Added to thesetasks are innumerablephone calls that leavecallers on hold for asmuch as 20 minutesand distract financialaid officers from pro-cessing other tasks.

“After 20 years infinancial aid, at somepoint every Augustyou say, ‘What if wecould actually do thework instead ofanswering phones?’”said Judith Cramer,director of financialaid at the university.

IPFW modeled asuccessful corporateinitiative, where com-panies utilize call cen-ters to free up staffand handle inquiriesless expensively.Instead of outsourc-ing to an externalfirm in another state

or even overseas, theuniversity turned to aresource deeply famil-iar with the institu-tion and the financialaid process – its ownstudents. With a phys-ical office equippedwith phones, worksta-tions and appropriatetechnology, alongwith two weeks oftraining for students,the call center beganto function in thesummer of 2010.

Quantitatively, theinitiative was hugelysuccessful, drivingtelephone wait timesfrom 40 minutes toless than two. Thecost of paying stu-dents was offset bynot having to pay staffovertime for the extrawork that had beenrequired.

“From all over cam-

pus we heard, ‘Wow,you must be doingsomething right,because the studentsare just not asstressed as they usu-ally are,’” saidCramer. “And wereplied, ‘Neither arewe.’ It’s gratifying tobe recognized as aModel of Efficiency.”

Models ofEfficiency is an ongo-ing recognition pro-gram. Schools canparticipate in upcom-ing rounds by visitingwww.universitybusi-ness.com/modelsofef-ficiency.

The program issponsored by HigherOne, a leading compa-ny focused on helpingcollege businessoffices manage opera-tions and provideenhanced service tostudents.

“It’s a very reward-ing experience topartner withUniversity Businessin recognizing opera-tions efficiencies oncampuses across thecountry,” said DeanHatton, CEO ofHigher One. “The cre-ativity, tenacity andd e t e r m i n a t i o n

demonstrated byModels of Efficiencywinners inspires usas we continue tostrive to streamlineoperations andimprove services inhigher educationbusiness offices else-where.”

Sheriff Bob Landreported that the jailpopulation is 87.

Downs presented aresolution to transfera county-owned FerryStreet property to anonprofit property tobe used for the publicgood. Habitat forHumanity hopes toacquire the propertyto build a home for anunderprivileged fami-ly. Applications willbe accepted from non-profit organizationswishing to acquirethe property untilMay 23, 10 a.m., whena hearing will be con-ducted for this matter.

CountyCoordinator Jim Dilspresented an applica-tion for the first pay-ment on the remodelof theC o m m i s s i o n e r s ’Meeting Room. Thetotal payment was$21,081 for variouscosts including demo-lition and materialsordered. Dils went onto seek the commis-sioners’ opinion onvarious points of theremodeling project.

Dils also presenteda complaint hereceived from a resi-dent of SR 524. Theresident complainedthat Enyeart Creek isencroaching on her

property and she islosing soil and trees.A member of theDrainage Board willcontact the resident toaddress this concern.

Hoffman’s Nurserywill plant a tree on theCourthouse lawn forthe Moonlight GardenClub in honor ofEarth Day April 22, at5:30 p.m. Countyoffices will be closedon April 22 in obser-vance of Good Friday.There will be no meet-ing of the WabashCounty Board ofCommissioners onJune 6 due to a sched-uling conflict.

Commissioners apply for funds...Continued from front page

there will be a pro-posed resolution adopt-ing a fiscal plan for theto-be-annexed propertyand there will be anordinance submitted tothe council for consid-

eration, which will bethe actual annexingdocument. Council willconsider both of thosedocuments at thatmeeting.”

The resolution of the

fiscal plan only needsto be considered once;if it is passed then itwill be given to each ofthe property owners.Once the property own-ers receive the fiscal

plan, which outlinesservices the city will beproviding to them andthe timeframe they canexpect to receive thoseservices, then theyhave 13 days to submita withdrawal of theirconsent.

The annexation ordi-nance has to beapproved at two meet-ings, so if it isapproved in the firstmeeting, and no onewithdraws their con-sent based on the fiscalplan, then anytimeafter the 14th day thecouncil can hear theordinance for secondreading – if it is passedafter second readingthe territory isannexed.

“If someone submitsa withdrawal betweenthe first reading andthe second we willwrite them out of theordinance,” Lehmanadded, “but we don’tanticipate any with-drawals. It is the intentof the city to onlyannex the propertiesthat want to beannexed. If theybecome annexed thenthey are entitled to thesame services thatother citizens of thecity receive, specifical-ly police and fire pro-tection from the city,connection with thecity sewer system, anduse of the city librarywithout having to pay afee; residences would

also be entitled to trashpick-up. The cityexpects to benefit bygetting the land it haspurchased for the busi-ness park within citylimits.

“At the time we pur-chased [this land], itwas outside the citylimits. The city hadauthority to purchaseland outside city limitsbut obviously you wantyour business parkclients to be within citylimits because one rea-son we’re looking toattract business here isto expand the tax base.Most businesses aregoing to want fire serv-ice from a fire depart-ment that is fully-manned 24 hours a day,and they’re going towant police protectionfrom the city policedepartment, which haspretty good coverage 24hours a day.”

Va n l a n d i n g h a madded, “If a factory ora business comes intothe business parkthey’re going to expectfire service and policeservice, and that’s oneof the advantages ofgetting people to come.I have not had contactwith any individuals,with the exception ofJeff Kellam. I talked toJeff and he realizes histaxes are going to goup, but he also realizesthe importance ofbeing in the city.

“Jeff has been a

strong proponent ofeconomic developmentfor the city, and in fact,he sits on the[ E c o n o m i cDevelopment Group ofWabash County] board.As far as I’m con-cerned, Jeff stepped upto the plate and didsomething he felt verystrongly about that willalso benefit the com-munity – that was verymuch appreciated onthe city’s part.”

Before the formalprocess was started,much time was spentresearching the servic-es that would be pro-vided and developingthe actual fiscal plan.The formal part of theprocess takes about 60days, but the overallprocess takes about 3-4months, Lehman said.

“After everything isdone, things have to berecorded,” he contin-ued, “there have to bepublications in thenewspapers, and thereis a short time in whichneighboring propertyowners can object ifthey believe there isn’tenough contiguitybetween the old citylimits and the propertybeing annexed. Sinceit’s a consensualannexation, the onlybasis anybody elsewould ever have ofobjecting to it would beif we didn’t haveenough commonboundary between the

current city limits andthe newly acquiredproperty.”

W h i l eVanlandingham sayshe can’t and won’tspeak for the CityCouncil, he feels theyhave been very sup-portive all along, espe-cially in terms of thebusiness park.

“We’re going aboutthis in a manner inwhich we’re not forc-ing people to dothings,” he continued,“we’re trying to workwith people and we’retrying to do what wethink is best for thecommunity. I think theprocess we’ve chosento do takes a little bitlonger than trying toforce people to dothings, but again we’retrying to do this in theright manner.

“We have 240 acres ofprime land for a busi-ness park, and for ourcommunity to keepgrowing and improv-ing the way we have weneed to get jobs,because jobs are themost important thingwe need in this commu-nity right now. This issimply the process toget our business parkinto the city and we’retrying to do it in theright manner by notforcing anyone intosomething they don’twant.”

Grocery store pricesincreased during thefirst quarter of 2011,according to the latestmarket basket surveyfrom Indiana FarmBureau.

The total cost of thefood items in the infor-mal survey was $47.20,up $1.97 or about 4 per-cent compared to thefourth quarter of 2010.Of the 16 items sur-veyed, 13 increased inaverage price whilethree decreased com-pared to the prior quar-ter.

The Indiana surveyis part of a nationwidesurvey compiled by theAmerican FarmBureau Federationfrom data supplied bystate Farm Bureaus. Atotal of 71 shoppers in29 states participatedin the latest survey,conducted in February.Twenty-three volun-teer shoppers partici-pated in the Indianasurvey.

AFBF’s survey hadresults similar to thosefound in Indiana,showing a total cost of$49.07, up $2.10 or about4 percent compared tothe fourth quarter of2010.

up 2 cents to$1.57/dozen.

“As anticipated, theincreased consumerdemand for meats anddairy products thatbegan in 2009 and con-tinued through 2010remains evident as welook forward to themiddle of 2011,” saidJohn Anderson andeconomist with theAmerican FarmBureau Federation.

Despite the overallincrease in dairyprices in Indiana andnationwide, wholemilk was one of thethree items thatdecreased in price onthe Indiana survey,dropping by 20 cents to$2.85/gallon. Thelargest decrease wasbagged salad, whichdropped by 62 cents to$1.91 for a 1-pound bag.Bacon also decreased,dropping by 36 cents to$3.60 per pound.

Most items showingan increase in retailprice from quarter-to-quarter also showedyear-to-year increases.Compared to one yearago, sliced deli hamwas up by 88 cents,potatoes by 66 cents,bacon by 63 cents,ground chuck by 62cents, flour by 55,orange juice by 47cents and bonelesschicken breasts by 42cents.

“Retail price increas-es for some foods arelikely to continuethroughout the year, asit takes time for farm-ers to increase the sizeof their herds toa c c o m m o d a t eincreased demand,”Anderson explained.

Although the marketbasket survey is infor-mal and intended torepresent only a snap-shot of Indiana’s gro-cery store prices, theyear-to-year directionof the market basketsurvey tracks with thefederal government’sConsumer Price Index

( w w w. b l s . g o v / c p i )report for food at home.

The Farm Bureaumarket basket alsotracks with the trendsnoted by ag economistCorinne Alexander.American consumerscan expect to spendabout 4 percent morefor food this year thanin 2010, she said,adding that beef, porkand poultry productslikely will see evengreater price hikes.U.S. food price inflationreached 7.5 percent inSeptember 2008 beforefalling in November2009. It’s been movingback up ever since, shesaid.

“We’re returning toa period of food priceinflation after comingoff a period where wesaw food price defla-tion,” Alexander said.“We don’t expect this tobe a long-term, perma-nent higher food priceperiod. We’ll see thesehigher food pricesuntil we rebuild globalstocks of the primarycrops.”

As retail groceryprices have increasedgradually over time,the share of the aver-age food dollar thatAmerica’s farm andranch families receivehas dropped.

“In the mid-1970s,farmers received aboutone-third of consumerretail food expendi-tures for food eaten athome and away fromhome, on average,”said Anderson of theAFBF. “Since then, thatfigure has decreasedsteadily and is nowabout 16 percent,according to theA g r i c u l t u r eDepartment’s revisedFood Dollar Series.”USDA’s Food DollarSeries may be foundonline athttp://www.ers.usda.gov/Data/FoodDollar/app/.

Despite the increase,though, food pricesremain below those of2008 when the marketbasket hit a new recordprice of $50.70 for the16 items.

The reasons for theincrease in food prices,said a PurdueUniversity agricultur-al economist, are grainshortages, Middle Eastturmoil and extremeweather in criticalc r o p - p r o d u c i n gregions. These havecombined to send retailfood prices higher thisyear, explainedCorinne Alexander.

“When we buy ourgroceries each week wenotice even the small-est increases but weforget all the non-foodcosts that affect thatincrease – packaging,transportation, pro-cessing and utilities toname a few, all ofwhich are affected byour increasing petrole-um prices,” said IFB2nd Vice PresidentIsabella Chism. “In thelong run, increasingour energy independ-ence could in the longrun have a positiveeffect on food prices as

well as fuel prices.”In the Indiana sur-

vey, sliced deli ham,flour, shredded ched-dar cheese, orangejuice and groundchuck increased themost in dollar valuecompared to the fourthquarter of 2010: Hamincreased 73 cents to$5.52/pound, flourincreased 42 cents to$2.53 per 5-pound bag,shredded cheeseincreased 38 cents to$4.02 per pound, orangejuice 37 cents to $3.26for a half gallon andground chuckincreased 33 cents to$3.10 per pound.

Other items thatincreased in pricesince the fourth-quar-ter survey were veg-etable oil, up 29 cents to$2.90 per 32-ounce bot-tle; potatoes, up 22cents to $2.81/pound;cereal, up 13 cents to$2.99 per 10-ounce box;apples, up 11 cents to$1.52/pound; bonelesschicken breasts, up 9cents to $3.27/pound;white bread, up 4 centsto $1.55 per 20-ounceloaf; sirloin tip roast,up 2 cents to$3.81/pound; and eggs,

Indiana’s grainwarehouse regulatorysystem has been usedas a national modelfor years, but now it isgetting internationalattention. TheIndiana StateDepartment ofAgriculture (ISDA)will welcome a dele-gation of Serbianexperts from theMinistry ofAgriculture, Forestryand WaterM a n a g e m e n t(MAFWM).

The Serbian delega-tion has chosenIndiana’s system asthe model they willtry to follow as theyimplement a grainwarehouse receiptssystem of their own.

“We know Indianais a national leader inagriculture, but it’srewarding to see ourinfluence spreadacross the globe,” saidLt. GovernorSkillman, who servesas Indiana’s Secretaryof Agriculture andhas led four interna-tional trade missionsfor the agricultureindustry. “Thisspeaks volumes aboutthe progressive sys-tem in place righthere in Indiana.”

Adopted in 1997,Indiana’s GrainIndemnity Fundinsures farmers whostore grain at licensedwarehouses in muchthe same way as FDICinsures bankdeposits. The fund isso efficient that farm-ers have not had topay into it since 1998.Michigan has adopteda law nearly identicalto Indiana. Otherstates, includingMissouri and Texas,

are also looking atIndiana’s model.

Serbia, which haspassed grain ware-housing laws, hassought out leadersfrom Indiana andMichigan to helpimplement their newsystem. IndianaGrain Buyers andWarehouse LicensingAgency DirectorJermone Hawkinstraveled to Serbiafrom March 12-26. Onthat trip, Hawkinsprovided training to agroup of Serbianwarehouse inspectorsand presented to themthe best practicesfrom the Indiana. Healso provided input tothe warehouse opera-tions manual andinspector’s manual.The trip was at nocost to the State ofIndiana as all expens-es were covered by theEuropean Bank forReconstruction andDevelopment (EBRD)and the Food andA g r i c u l t u r eOrganization of theUnited Nations (FAO).

While here inIndiana, the

Delegation will tourPurdue Universityand KelsayFarms. They will alsomeet with Lt.Governor Skillmanbefore they attend fur-ther meetings withIndiana Grain Buyersstaff and representa-tives from IndianaCorn MarketingCouncil and IndianaSoybean Alliance.The complete itiner-ary is below.

“We look forward towelcoming ourSerbian guests andreturning the gra-cious hospitality wereceived,” saidIndiana AgricultureDirector Joe Kelsay.“This is a tremendousopportunity to shareour knowledge of ourgrain warehousereceipts system andindemnity fund thathas successfully pro-vided financial pro-tection to Hoosierfarmers for decades.”

Indiana will wel-come Serbian dele-gates: Mr. AleksandarDavidov, assistantdirector of GeneralInspectorate of

MAFWM; Mr. NenadVujovic, head ofDepartment ofAgricultural Inspectionin General Inspectoratein MAFWM; Ms.Gordana Mijatov, ware-house inspector inGeneral Inspectorate inMAFWM; Mr. GoranMrdovic, warehouseinspector in GeneralInspectorate inMAFWM; Ms. MajaSandic, advisor inGeneral inspectorate inMAFWM; and Mr.Krassimir Kiriakov,president of VOCAConsult LTD.

Huntington drive-in prepares to open second screenby Shaun Tilghman When Huntington Drive-in Theatre,

located at 1291 ConditSt., opened for the sea-son on April 15,patrons most likelynoticed a new addi-tion, in the form of asecond screen.

The new screen isnot yet in use, but

owner John Detzlerhopes that it will beavailable by the firstweekend in May.According to Detzler,there are many rea-sons why adding asecond screen, whichis located to the southof the original screen,will prove worth-while.

“The main reason isthat it will make thedrive-in more valu-able as a business,which will hopefullyhelp in its longevity,”he explained. “Whenyou get new releasesyou’re required by thecompany to hold thema minimum of twoweeks – in certain sit-uations we’ve heldthem as long as fourweeks, and when yourseason is only 24-25weeks long that’s agood percentage ofyour season.

“The second screenwill allow us to

change out the secondfeature, and makesthings a little moreflexible. Before, whentwo big pictures came

out around the sametime we had to look atour calendar and tryto figure out whichone would likely dobetter. Now we canopen the big pictureon our main screenfor two weeks thenbring it over to thesecond screen for anyextra weeks, thusoffering the next bigmovie on the mainscreen.”

The original screenwill still be the mainscreen because it isbigger than the newscreen – 33’x78’ com-pared to 25’x55’ – andthe main screen hasat least twice as manyspeaker posts. Thereis still some work tobe done, but ideallythey will be able touse the second screenright around the the-

atre’s 61st anniver-sary on May 5.

“Honestly this hasbeen in the works forabout 4-5 years, andactually it’s reallybeen a part of theplan ever since we gotin here almost 10years ago,” Detzlersaid. “Most of thework was done inabout a month, begin-ning around mid-October (2010), andwe’re getting reallyclose. We still have toget the equipment inthe new booth and getit wired up, and thenwe just need to havethe second screenpainted.”

To learn moreabout HuntingtonDrive-in Theatre, or tojoin their e-mail list,go to www.hunting-tondrivein.com.

JOHN DETZLER, owner of Huntington Drive-In Theatre, poses betweenthe new projection booth and the new screen, which have both been addedsince last season. The new screen, which is tentatively scheduled to open forthe first weekend in May, will be considered a secondary screen as it issmaller in size and accommodates about half as many cars as the mainscreen.

The program is titled“Stations of the Cross”and there will be six dif-ferent stations for peo-ple to visit. Stopping ateach station reminds theparticipant of differentmoments of JesusChrist’s passionate jour-ney and encouragesreflection and contem-plation.

During the worshiptime, Miss EmilyCaldwell will be singing“Temporary Home” andthe message will bebrought by the Rev. DaveBeebe, of the MexicoChurch of the Brethren.

An Asian BrushPainting Workshopwill be sponsored byLakeland ArtGallery, 107 N. FirstSt., Pierceton, onMay 14. The classwill be approximate-ly three hours,beginning at 10a.m. Bonnie Gore, ofArtsy Stuff Studio inWarsaw, will be theinstructor. All sup-plies will be provid-ed and will includeIndia ink, newsprint,rice paper and sumi-e brushes.Individuals interest-ed in attending theworkshop mayphone the Gallery at574-594-9950. Makeyour reservationsearly as space is lim-ited.

The workshop willconcentrate onpainting two of thefour AsianGentlemen: bambooand orchid in thesumi style of Asianpainting. No artexperience isrequired. Participants just need to be pre-pared to drink a littletea, enjoy a relaxingand spiritual timeand take home asumi-e painting ortwo.

Sumi means blackink and e stands forpath, street or roadas well as art ofpainting. TheFreestyle Art of InkPainting consists ofpowerfully hushed,quickly dashed offlines. What is only

indicated or evenomitted is oftenmore important andmore expressivethan what is actuallypainted. The austeri-ty of means and thereduction to essen-tial is the heart ofSumi-e painting. Thepaintings of bambooand orchids are moreof a brief sketch cap-turing the essence ofthe subjects.

The FourGentlemen evolvedfrom the high art ofChinese calligraphyand are usedthroughout theAsian cultures aspowerful subjects topaint that representthe spirit and sim-plicity of this style ofpainting as well as

Chinese symbol-ism. It is told that allforms of the uni-verse are found inthese Gentlemen andeach plant has a pro-found philosophicalmeaning.

The Indiana StatePolice would like toremind citizens thatthe farm-planting sea-son is upon us andoften requires largefarm machinery to beon the road. Thisrequires drivers in

rural areas to be alertto the possibility ofencountering slowmoving farmmachines. Motoristsshould be prepared toslow or stop to avoid acollision with a farmmachine turning into

a field or driveway.Tips for farmers

and rural drivers:- Farm machinery

can unexpectedlyturn onto a publicroad from a field ordriveway. It is impor-tant for everyone to

have patience andshare the road.

- Farm machinerytravels slower thannormal traffic, oftenat speeds of 25 milesper hour or less.Automobile driversmust quickly identify

farm equipment andslow down immedi-ately to avoid rear endcrashes.

- Slow moving farmmachinery, travelingat less than 25 milesper hour, are requiredto display a slow mov-ing vehicle emblemon the back of theequipment. This is aquickly identifiablesign to othermotorists. All lightingshould be workingproperly and be high-ly visible.

- Slow moving vehi-cles are required topull off to the rightwhen three or morevehicles are blockedand cannot pass onthe left.

- Machinery that ishalf on the road andhalf on the shouldermay suddenly movecompletely onto theroad. Machinery maytake up more than onelane to avoid obstaclessuch as road signs.

Before passingfarm machinery:

- Check to be surethat machinery is notturning left. Look forleft turn lights orhand signals. If themachinery slows andpulls toward the rightside of the road, theoperator is likelypreparing to make awide left turn.Likewise, sometimesto make a right turnwith wide equipment,

the driver must fadeto the left.

- Determine if theroad is wide enoughfor you and themachinery to safelyshare.

- Look for roadsideobstacles such asmailboxes, bridges, orroad signs that maycause the machineryto move to the centerof the road.

- Be sure there isadequate distance foryou to safely pass.

Extra patience,careful driving habits,and the use of highlyvisible markings, andlighting will help pre-vent crashes involv-ing farm machinesand automobiles.

These portfolios are preserved on CDs at the end of the year so that students maykeep a digital copy of their work at Southwood Elementary. Teachers here have also beenincorporating a mobile set of laptops in their daily lessons. The students use the laptops to performresearch and create online presentations to share their learning with not only their classmates, butthe world.

Teachers at Southwood High School have been busy creating an online learning environmentthrough Moodle, a free Learning Management System. Moodle provides a centralized location forteachers to warehouse classroom documents, forums for discussions on topics being learned in theclassrooms, journals - which provide an online space for students to reflect on their learning andreceive feedback from the teachers, online polls to quickly check for basic understanding, and onlinequizzes that are graded at the moment of completion - thus giving the students instant feedbackwhen interest is at its highest. The Social Studies department has completed two video projectsusing the Apple lab. These projects consisted of students synthesizing the unit of student into a two-minute video in order to demonstrate their understanding. These projects were fantastic!

LaFontaine Elementary is moving more of their curriculum to Interactive Whiteboards. They havealso been using Accelerated Math very effectively. Accelerated Math provides year-longdifferentiated math practice, thus providing the opportunity for students to excel at their own pace.All of the teachers at LaFontaine Elementary are utilizing Moodle as well.

Metro North Elementary has been busy moving more of their curriculum to digital format throughInteractive Whiteboards. Pod 3 has been incorporating a mobile set of laptops in their daily lessons.Many of the teachers at Metro North are also implementing Moodle in their weekly lesson plans.Students at Metro North Elementary have created videos that were anonymously published toYouTube.

Sharp Creek Elementary utilizes their mobile set of laptops on a daily basis. Many classrooms have aMoodle page to provide online activities to students. Teachers here have also been incorporatingUnited Streaming - an online collection of images and videos to provide unique and highly effectivebackground knowledge for students.

Northfield High School has been piloting the use of iPod Touches in a few scenarios. This pilot hasbeen well received by both teachers and students. Both Southwood High School and NorthfieldHigh School have been piloting a classroom set of Apple iPads - tablet computers - in a scienceclassroom. The teachers and students have really appreciated these devices and feel they are veryeffective for instruction. The CAD class at Northfield is using robotics - giving students anopportunity to test their programming and logic skills as these robots are to move and turn inside aspecific path. Both of our high schools are also using NovaNet - an online credit recovery program.

Many of our schools are also using Skype - a free service that allows our classrooms to connect toexperts across the globe. As an example, the history club at Southwood High School contacted ateacher in Egypt during the midst of their historical events. You can't find that in a textbook!

The M. S. D. Board of Education voted to no longer charge tuition to students living outside thedistrict’s boundaries as long as those students are enrolled before count day. Count day occurs in themiddle of September. We believe there are a number of families who wish to have their childrenattend one of our schools or continue to attend our schools. Since the state took over school districts’general funds we receive nearly the entire of amount of money needed to fund each child’seducation. If a child is not here on count day we do not receive any money for that student, thusnecessitating the need for tuition. There is no change for students moving into the district at any timeduring the year. There is no tuition because they reside within district boundaries. Any parent wishingto have their child attend one of our schools needs to contact the district office at 260-563-8050(Extension #6).

MSD of Wabash County is proud of the quality of education it offers. Our staff hasdesigned outstanding educational opportunities to meet the needs of individual students. Wewant to build character and capacity – character to do the right thing and the capacity to dothings right. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact my office.

Metropolitan School District ofWabash County has a number of excitingannouncements that will have a positiveimpact on education. The districtreceived the highly sought afterClassroom Innovation Grant. The BoardOf Education recently announced itsdecision to not charge tuition tostudents living outside the districtboundaries.

The Classroom Innovation Grantwas given to only 22 school districts inthe state of Indiana. 135 districtsapplied and MSD of Wabash County wasexcited to be one of those districts.Metro schools have pushed the use oftechnology as a way to enhance studentlearning. Gary Bates, LearningTechnology Specialist with the IndianaDepartment of Education, visits ourdistrict regularly. As he has toured toobserve technology being used bystudents he has commented thatwatching our district grow in its use oftechnology has been like watching thegrowth of a grandchild. “You areinvolved day to day and think you needto move faster. I see the huge strides youmake because I am only visiting everyfew months.”

This grant for $200,000.00 willbring us closer to offering students alearning environment where they havethe opportunity to have a laptop fortheir own use. Students will be able touse more iPod Touch devices as well asother mobile devices. Often, I hearadults talk about how they did not needtechnology when they went to schooland their education was fine without it.That was true for that time. It is not truenow. Our students need to be ready tocompete with the best and brighteststudents in the United States andglobally. Students in China downloadYouTube broadcasts of class lecturesfrom the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology on their iPhones. They arereadying themselves to take jobs andcollege placements from our students.Even though we are a small, ruralIndiana school district the internet anduse of technology levels the playingfield. We can be competitive. In fact, weare competitive. Northfield High Schoolstudents swept into Tech Fest atSweetwater Sound in Fort Wayne onApril 16, 2011 and won $5,000.00 inscholarships. Our students were the topfinishers in every event they entered.

The lack of suffi-cient food is a world-wide issue. Its causesare legendary andthere is enough blameto share widely, noteven figuring in theweather. FoodsResource Bank haspioneered a uniqueapproach aimed athelping third-worldcountries, especiallyworking in communi-ties to tackle theirproblems in specialand creative ways.

The Manchester

Theharvested crop is soldand the proceeds help

small communitiesoverseas to improvetheir agricultural out-puts or gardeningpractices. ThusChristian groups,both urban and rural,in the U.S. workingwith Christian indige-nous partners over-seas impact the world-wide food supply andcommunities andindividuals in partic-ular benefit.

Owners and usersof these vehicles cancontact a distributoror the manufacturerfor the horsepowerand speed rating.The laws are basedon manufacturer’sspecifications.
