by Shaun TilghmanEight of the 11 candi-

dates running forWabash City Councilparticipated in a debate,sponsored by theGovernment AffairsCommittee of theWabash CountyChamber of Commerce,on April 20, at theHoneywell Center. Thecandidates, who areinvolved in contestedraces for the May 3Primary Election, fieldedquestions by districtfrom moderator CharlesMiller.

The three candidatesseeking the Democraticnomination for the At-Large seat are JoanHaag, Jim Cosby, andHarold Chatlosh. TheDistrict 1 Republicanrace features JohnGilpin and Bill Evans,while the District 2Democratic candidatesare Tina Carroll and BillHapner. In District 3, JimWenrich contends withPreston Miracle, and inDistrict 4, Paul Lewis isrunning against PatLynn, all who areDemocrats.

According to JimWidner, GovernmentAffairs Committee chair,the chamber believes it isimportant for someone tofacilitate an event suchas this to provide thepublic an opportunity toget to know the candi-dates a little better.

“I’m a little disap-pointed that more of thegeneral public didn’tattend but we’d like tothank [local mediasources] for reportingwhat happened and stim-ulating some thinking inthat way,” Widner said. “Ithink it’s always impor-tant to have the publicarmed with as muchinformation as they canget and there’s a lot ofways to do that; this isone way and I just hopethat people who were nothere will take advantageof the media opportuni-ties present.”

Miller posed fourquestions to the candi-

dates present from eachdistrict, but much of thefocus in each set of ques-tions related to bringingmore jobs to the City ofWabash and the issue oftax abatements.

At-LargeJoan Haag, an incum-

bent council member,identified her main goalas increasing employ-ment opportunities andimproving the quality oflife in Wabash.

“We want to try tobring as much good busi-ness and as many good-paying jobs into Wabashas possible,” Haagexplained. “Wabash, likeany town, is having thatproblem; we’re trying tomake jobs benefit foreverybody. We are in theprocess of looking intousing some land that willcome available to the citybut we have to gothrough certain hoops indoing so.

“Nothing can be doneovernight. We’d love tosee all these businessescome here and we’vemade advances in gettingthe areas ready for peo-ple to come in and do itbut we’ve got to go outand beat the bushes tosee if we can get thosebusinesses to us.”

She went on to say thatwhile there have beenmany changes in Wabashover the years, shestrongly believes that theprogress has not come atthe cost of the communi-ty’s small town atmos-phere. She also stressedthe need for cooperationwith the county inregards to potential proj-ects, as that will help allparties achieve the com-mon goal of bettering thecommunity.

Jim Cosby, a formersix-term council mem-ber, was adamant regard-ing his view of tax abate-ments and the impactthey can have on theWabash community.

“I think tax abatementfor businesses is a neces-sary evil,” Cosby said. “Ifyou don’t give them (newbusinesses) some abate-

WABASH CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES running in contested races for the May 3 PrimaryElection participated in a recent debate sponsored by the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce’sGovernment Affairs Committee. Eight of the 11 candidates were present, including (front row, fromleft): Pat Lynn, Joan Haag, Paul Lewis, Tina Carroll; back row, John Gilpin, Jim Wenrich, JimCosby, and Preston Miracle.

ment or something theywon’t come; they’ll gosomewhere where they’llget it. At the same time, Ithink there ought to bestrict restrictions on howthey perform in the cityof Wabash. It’s some-thing we need to providebut we also need to pro-vide restrictions on howit’s used.”

Cosby then discussedanother significant issuehe would like to seeaddressed, which isbringing more industriesin that can provide betterpaying jobs for the peo-ple of Wabash. “I hearnumbers about therebeing new jobs but Idon’t hear many num-bers of those beingoffered with a reasonablesalary and benefits,” hecontinued, “and I thinkthat’s what the peopleneed. Times are hard andpeople are having a hardtime coping.

“[P]eople need to seeresults, they want to seefacts and they want toknow what’s being doneright now. We’ve seennothing yet that we cantake to the bank – I admitI have no magic formulafor curing the economy

but I believe that withhard times come chal-lenges, and with chal-lenges comes opportuni-ty. I stand ready to helpthe city meet these chal-lenges and find opportu-nities to make our greatcity of Wabash the bestthat it can be.”

Harold Chatlosh, whois also a former councilmember, was not presentduring the debate butweighed in on the issuesduring a recent inter-view with The Paper. Hebegan by apologizing forhis absence andexplained that he had aprior obligation inIndianapolis.

“I was notified with aletter and I did receive aphone call but, as I toldJim Widner a few weeksago, I had some meetingsthat day and I wasn’tsure if they would be atthe same time as thedebate,” he stated. “I stillhope to get elected in thePrimary and then go onfrom there.”

According toChatlosh, when it comesto jobs he believes thefocus should be placed ongetting more small busi-nesses coming in with 15-

20 people here and there.“We need to figure out

how to bring jobs toWabash County but Idon’t think we need tospend $4-6 million to findout, which is what isinvolved in the new busi-ness park,” he continued.“If you could convinceme that there is some-body interested in thatplace (the new businesspark) – instead of tellingeverybody there are peo-ple interested and thennothing happens – then itwould be different.

“I think they need toget some facts out to usand actually say who iscoming in before we go tospend the money puttingthe infrastructure in justto find out what’s goingon. Once people find outthere is something ofinterest going in theremaybe they’ll go alongwith it more than whatthey are now.”

In closing, Chatloshstressed that no othermedia outlets contactedhim for an interviewprior to or following thedebate other than ThePaper of Wabash County.

District 1John Gilpin is seeking

re-election as an incum-bent and expressed hisbelief that the councilhas accomplished morein the last five years thanhe can recall of anyother time in the past.

“A lot of that has to dowith the fact that we’veworked so well together,”he added, “you get somuch accomplished thatway. We did bring in newjobs with two companies,Cinergy MetroNet andLiving Essentials, and Ithink there are more jobswe can bring into the city… this is just the begin-ning of what we can dofor the city and the citi-zens of Wabash.

Julia A. Wickard,State ExecutiveDirector for USDA’sFarm Service Agencyin Indiana, remindsproducers that the2009 SupplementalRevenue AssistancePayments Program(SURE) is underwayand continuesthrough July 29.

SURE provides cropdisaster assistancepayments to eligibleproducers on farmsthat have incurredcrop production orcrop quality losses asa result of a naturaldisaster. This pro-gram addresses croplosses on all farminginterests in all coun-ties and states. SUREprovides assistance inan amount equal to 60percent of the differ-ence between theSURE farm guarantee(expected revenue)and the actual farmrevenue.

In 2009, Indiana had29 counties that wereeither declared a nat-ural disaster by theSecretary ofAgriculture, or con-tiguous to a declaredcounty. Any producerwho has part ofhis/her farming oper-ation in one of thesecounties may qualifyfor a SURE payment,if there was a 10-per-cent production lossof one crop of eco-nomic significance.This does not guaran-tee a payment,

because SURE isbased on total farmrevenue. “FSAemployees are readyto serve producerswith questions aboutthe SURE Programfor the 2009 cropyear,” said Wickard.“The 2010 crop yearwill be addressedlater this calendaryear in FSA Officesacross the country.”

The 29 countiesi n c l u d e :Bartholomew, Brown,Decatur, Elkhart,Gibson, Greene,Hancock, Jackson,Jefferson, Jennings,Johnson, Knox,LaGrange, LaPorte,Lawrence, Marion,Martin, Monroe,Orange, Posey, Ripley,Rush, St. Joseph,

Scott, Shelby,Steuben, Sullivan,Vigo, andWashington.

Farmers in othercounties who sufferedin excess of a 50-per-cent loss and meet allother eligibilityrequirements mayalso be eligible for2009 SURE. In addi-tion to loss thresh-olds, producers mustmeet certain other eli-gibility requirementsto quality for SUREbenefits. Thisincludes the RiskM a n a g e m e n tP u r c h a s eRequirement (RMPR).The RMPR requiresthat a producer havecrop insurance, orNon-Insured CropDisaster Assistance

(NAP) coverage onevery crop of econom-ic significance inevery county wherethe producer has aninterest. The deadlineto make applicationfor benefits is July 29.For more informationon SURE, visit anyFSA County Office.Additional informa-tion is available

Legislationrewards educatorexcellence, putsfocus on studentsuccess

The Indiana Houseof Representativesrecently passedSenate Bill 1 (SB 1)with a vote of 60-32,ensuring Hoosier stu-dents have access totop-notch principalsand classroom teach-ers for generations tocome. The legislationwill require teachersand principals toreceive rigorous,locally developed,annual evaluationsbased on multiplemeasures – includingstudent growth and

performance. The billalso changes the wayteachers earn payincreases, so factorsother than just seniori-ty and degrees earnedcan be considered.

“Senate Bill 1makes Indiana thenation’s leader inmeaningful educatorevaluations thatreward excellenceand encourage contin-ual growth andimprovement,” saidState Superintendentof Public InstructionDr. Tony Bennett.“I’m proud Indiana’sHouse members havetaken this importantstep to recognize thegreat teachers in ourstate. The men andwomen in Indiana’sclassrooms deserveour praise, and theyneed our support.Their incredibleefforts inspire ourfuture leaders andsustain our economy.”

SB 1 requires localschool corporations to

develop and imple-ment yearly principaland teacher evalua-tion systems basedpartially on multiplemeasures, includingstudent performanceand growth data.

Already, school cor-porations acrossIndiana are embrac-ing the opportunity toprovide teachers withmeaningful feedback,targeted professionaldevelopment andcompensation forexemplary perform-ance. One successfulprogram, called TAP:The System forTeacher and StudentAchievement, is cur-rently being imple-mented by 44 Hoosierschools and incorpo-rates performancepay into a comprehen-sive system that pro-vides teachers multi-ple career paths andfocuses intensely oncontinuous profes-sional growth.

Additionally, more

than 30 school corpo-rations across thestate have applied toparticipate in a pilotprogram to supportand study schools’progress as theyimplement evalua-tions that fit withinthe guardrails definedwithin SB 1. The pilotincludes two tracks:one for school corpo-rations interested inimplementing thestate’s model evalua-tion and another forthose interested inimplementing theirown evaluations thatmeet state guidelines.The pilot aims to pro-vide participatingschools support andfeedback while theymodify evaluationsystems to better dif-ferentiate and sup-port teachers.

“Teachers want tobe recognized fortheir ability to drivestudent growth andschool leaders needthe freedom and flexi-

bility to develop annu-al evaluation systemsthat address the needsof their unique stu-dent populations,”Bennett explained.“This legislation hitsa home-run on bothfronts; excellence inthe classroom will berewarded and innova-tion at the local levelwill be encouraged.”

SB 1 works in part-nership with otherkey pieces of the“Putting StudentsFirst” 2011 EducationAgenda to ensurec o m p r e h e n s i v ereform that providesall Hoosier studentsthe best educationalopportunities. Thelegislation reflects arenewed focus onteacher and principalquality at the nationaland state level. Studyafter study showsinstructional qualityis the number oneclassroom factorimpacting studentsuccess.

If the projectis not completed, thefunds cannot berecovered. The com-missioners agreed togrant the funds, andKonyha expects tohave an agreementto present for thec o m m i s s i o n e r s ’review within 60days.

Konyha’s secondrequest was for$6,000 to form a con-tract with formerstate representative,William Ruppel.EDG hopes to enlistRuppel’s knowledgeand relationships toidentify state-fund-ing opportunities forcommunity advance-ment and economicdevelopment proj-ects. The totalamount for the one-year contract is$12,000. The remain-

ing $6,000 will berequested from theCity of Wabash’sCEDIT funds. Thecommissioners alsogranted this request.The contract will beeffective May 1, 2011.

Also during themeeting, CountyH i g h w a yS u p e r i n t e n d e n tJohn Martinrequested permis-sion to attend a con-ference inIndianapolis on June1 and 2 and WabashCounty Clerk ElaineMartin requestedpermission to sendher staff to a soft-ware user meeting inFishers on May 11.The commissionersgranted bothrequests as well asan additionalrequest from Martinto travel to CassCounty to view theirvote center.

The clerk alsoreported that hervendor located$52,000 in Title IV-Dr e i m b u r s e m e n tfunds for the pasttwo years, which wasmuch more than

expected. The ven-dor will now handlethe Title IV-D report-ing for the Clerk’sOffice in order toensure that theCounty is receivingas much reimburse-ment as possible.

Wabash CountySheriff Bob Landreported that 82 per-sons are currentlyincarcerated in theWabash County Jailand he requestedpermission to beginthe hiring process toreplace a retiringofficer.

E m e r g e n c yManagement Agencyand CentralDispatch DirectorBob Brown gave areport on the recentsevere weather expe-rienced in WabashCounty. He informedthe commissionersthat damageoccurred inSpeicherville andthat a large grain binon CR 700 W inRoann was damaged.

continue doing whatwe’ve done in the past.The first thing we’vedone is acquire land inthe new business parkand made it shovelready for any businessthat is looking for aplace to set up,because if it wasn’tthey would go some-where else.”

Gilpin also empha-sized the importanceof the cooperationhe’s seen between thecouncil, the EconomicDevelopment Group(EDG) of WabashCounty, and WabashMarketplace. “I thinkthere are many morethings we can do in thefuture, and I want tobe a part of that,” heconcluded.

Bill Evans was

another candidateunable to attend thedebate, but he offeredthe following quotesfor The Paper:

“I think tax abate-ments are a big part ofbeing able to bringjobs to Wabash,”Evans said, “[they]would attract compa-nies, or expand com-panies that arealready here. But Idon’t think the taxabatements arethought out very well– they need to beadjusted. For example,if a company wasgoing to bring in 50jobs because of the taxabatement but thenonly brought in 40jobs, I think the abate-ment should bedecreased by 20 per-cent to make up for the10 jobs they didn’tbring in. I also thinkwhen they give peoplethese tax abatementsthey should follow upon them to make sureeverybody is doingwhat they said theywere going to do.

“In terms of thenew business park, Ican’t see spending alot of money up frontto put in sewage lines,water lines, gas lines,and electric. I can seegetting them underthe highway and to theproperty, but I can’tsee taking them anyfurther until we get afactory in there andknow what part it’sgoing to locate on. I

just don’t understandspending a lot ofmoney now for a facto-ry that might not behere for 3-4 years.”

Evans’ closing com-ments pertained to thefact that he is a dis-abled American veter-an and does have someheart issues, but hewas adamant that it’snothing that wouldkeep him from doinghis job on the citycouncil if elected.

District 2Tina Carroll

believes she makes agood candidatebecause of her desire“to be a voice for theworking people on thecouncil.” She thenexplained how,through no fault ofher employer or of herown, she lost her jobwhen the factory sheworked for closed.

“Nobody knowsmore than I do thatjobs are the mostimportant thing onpeoples’ minds today,”she added. “I think thejobs have deterioratedhere in Wabash so weneed to try to bringmore businesses to thetown. Wabash needsthe new business parkto attract companieswhich will bring morejobs to the town.”

Carroll also said shethinks Wabash isheaded in the rightdirection and if elect-ed, she will be avail-able to listen to peopleand she will always

vote for what shethinks is best.

Bill Hapner did notrespond to the cham-ber’s invitations to thedebate and was alsounavailable when ThePaper attempted toreach him for an inter-view.

District 3Jim Wenrich recent-

ly retired from MSD ofWabash County, wherehe was a teacher. Hedescribed the changeshe’s seen taking placein Wabash, and for themost part he consid-ered those changes tobe in the positivedirection.

“I think Wabash hasa lot of innovative peo-ple living in the com-munity,” he explained.“They’ve taken stepsindividually andthey’ve taken steps asgroups; they’ve takensteps as the city gov-ernment and they’vetaken steps as thecounty government,and we need to remem-ber that the U.S. 24project did not happenovernight. Most proj-ects take time and weneed to realize that wehave a group of indi-viduals, groups, citygovernment, andcounty government allworking together toreach the positive.”

According toWenrich, when thecity governmentworks with theE c o n o m i cDevelopment Group,

Wabash Marketplace,Wabash County, andother communitiesthey are able to attractjobs.

“Obviously the busi-ness park is in theworks,” he added.“They’re in theprocess of attracting anew business but itdoesn’t happenovernight. You’ve gotto remember that,when attracting jobswe’re in competitionwith every communi-ty. I think people thatare involved with eco-nomic developmentare doing a very goodjob.

”I think the econom-ic development of thebusiness park on thenorth side of town isthe most importantproject. I think it’simportant to get quali-ty employers out thereso Wabash can grow …there’s a lot of waysmoney trickles down.”

Preston Miraclestarted things off bydeclaring that lack ofjobs was the biggestproblem facingWabash, in his opin-ion.

“Over the last 10years Wabash has lostabout 1,200 people,” hecontinued, “and Ibelieve that’s becausethere are no jobs. Thathurts not only the fam-ilies, but it hurts thetax base in Wabash aswell; we need to do

more to attract jobs.“We have to get

employers to town andwe have to bring jobsto town so families canprosper in Wabash,which also helps thetax base in Wabash. Ithink tax abatementsshould be used and wehave to look at theemployer. What arethey offering as far aswages and benefits;the more they’re offer-ing their workersshould affect the taxabatements.”

Miracle went on toexpress issue with thechoices that have beenmade regarding thenew business park.

“To me the newbusiness park is kindof crazy,” he added.“We’re getting 200+acres of undevelopedland and we’ve gotplenty of land wherethe other industrialpark is, and it’salready developed. Ibelieve we could havebought the land in thecurrent industrialpark cheaper.”

District 4Pat Lynn, an incum-

bent council member,stressed the fact that

Wabash must not onlygrow new jobs, butmust grow new jobswhile retaining theones here already. Inher opinion, the newbusiness park isimportant to the cityfor a number of rea-sons.

“Not only will thenew industrial parkgrow jobs for us, it willalso solve part of ourflooding problem inDistrict 4 with theretention ponds thatwe’re going to be ableto build,” she said.“But most importantis the jobs; we need toget more of our peopleemployed with a goodwage that can supporttheir families.

“The new park willgive us a heads up. Iwant us to be ready sothat when a companywants to come in wedon’t have to say, ‘Wellwe have to get moreground, we have to getoptions, we have towork with the electri-cal company; we can’toffer you this rightnow, we could maybein six months.’ I thinkwe should be proactive

on that and I’m gladwe’ve gotten thatground now.”

Now that the groundhas been acquired,Lynn suggests a “coop-erative spirit” in orderto ensure the commu-nity attracts business-es.

“We have to cooper-ate with the peoplewhose job it is [tobring jobs intoWabash] and that’s theE c o n o m i cDevelopment Group,”she continued.“They’re the ones whogo out and promote usand they’re the onesthat bring [business-es] in. The EconomicDevelopment Group isthe one that goes shop-ping for them, andwe’re lucky to havethem.”

Paul Lewis is a for-mer council memberand although hebelieves some greatchanges have takenplace in Wabash, hedoesn’t like what hehas seen at councilmeetings lately.

“I think one of thebiggest issues is repre-sentation,” he

explained. “I’ve beenat council meetings,and I see who repre-sents their district andwho doesn’t. One ofthe things I’ve done istravel through the 4thdistrict and talk topeople to see if theyfeel like they’re get-ting enough represen-tation as a district.”

Lewis went on toexplain his stance ontax abatements,because while he is infavor of tax abate-ments for industry, heis adamantly againstresidential tax abate-ment.

“I voted against res-idential tax abatement… because I think itbenefits only thosewho can afford it,” headded. “It doesn’t helpthe poor, and we haveplenty of poor inWabash. So I wasopposed to residentialtax abatement forthose reasons, butwhen it comes to taxabatement for indus-try I’m 100 percentbehind it.”

Lewis also statedthat he would supportany industry wanting

to locate in the newbusiness park once itis “shovel ready”.

According to theIndiana EconomicD e v e l o p m e n tCorporation, the newbusiness park was oneof nine sites through-out the state deemed“shovel ready” onSept. 17, 2010.

LAFONTAINE REUNION: The LaFontaine High School Class of 1961 will celebrate their 50-yearreunion the weekend of May 6 and 7. They will also be the honored class at the LaFontaine alumnibanquet on May 7.

It’s that time ofyear to have “the talk”with some of the AYCyouth. You know thetalk you have withevery young person,who lives in Indiana,in the spring. That’sright, explaining thatone warm day doesnot mean winter isover. There is suchexcitement after thatfirst day of relieffrom the cold, andsuch disappointmentwhen the temperaturedrops again. It’s as ifone day winter wasgone forever and thenext feels as if it willnever leave. Seasonscan sometimes toywith our emotions;seasons of life cantoo. Have you everbeen in a tough situa-tion and just when itbegan to improve thebottom seemed to fallout? Or maybe you

haven’t felt any relieffrom the season youare in and it feels as ifthings will always bethis way.

Ecclesiastes 3:1says, “For everythingthere is a season, atime for every activityunder heaven.” Nomatter what is goingon in your life, it maybe as bitter and harshas any winter, pleaseremember that sea-sons don’t last forever,they change, and yoursituation will too.

AYC, 74 W. CanalSt., Wabash, 260-563-2070, is open for mid-dle/high school only:Wednesday TeenChurch, 7 - 8 p.m.;Friday Open Night, 7 -10 p.m.; and SaturdayOpen Night, 6 - 9 p.m.They are open for allages: Monday - Friday,3:30 - 4:30 p.m., whenschool is in session.

McDanieladdressesmushroomhuntersDear editor,

Just a reminder toall you mushroomhunters this year: itis not a proven factthat mushroomsspread from year toyear by theirspores, althoughthat is what I havealways been toldand I do believe thisto be true.

So just be on thesafe side, let’s all doour part this yearand remember toonly use porousbags while hunting,such as a potato bagor on onion sack. Doyou ever wonderwhy one year youcan find all you canpick in one woodsthen go back thenext year and findnothing. I think ithas a lot to do withthe spores and theweather, of course.So please, let’s all doour part this yearand use porousbags.

Thanks to all andhappy hunting.

Hazelwood family welcomes son

Indiana Gov. MitchDaniels signed SenateBill 575 (SB 575) intolaw recently, makingit the first initiative ofthe “Putting StudentsFirst” educationagenda to achieve thismilestone. The meas-ure limits collectivebargaining betweenschool corporationsand teachers unionsto salary and wagerelated benefits whileempowering schoolleaders to make deci-sions based on stu-dents’ needs.

While most of thelaw becomes effectiveJuly 1, two key provi-sions are effectiveimmediately. First,current teacher con-tracts may not extendpast the budget bien-nium. Second, dis-tricts may not collec-tively bargain teacherevaluation proce-dures or criteria.Teachers will still beinvolved in evalua-tion procedures andcriteria throughrequired discussionswith school leader-ship.

“For school admin-istrators across thestate, this is a game-changing moment forour schools,” saidState Superintendentof Public InstructionDr. Tony Bennett.“Gov. Daniels andIndiana’s legislatorshave put students firstby giving local schoolleaders the freedom torun local schools.Today, our studentswon the right toattend schools

focused purely onmeeting their needsand securing theiracademic success.”

Steve Yeager,Southwest AllenCounty Schoolss u p e r i n t e n d e n t ,added, “While an out-sider may see SB 575as an impediment toteacher/administra-tor communication,the truth is the lawwill allow for moreteacher inputthroughout the dis-trict. Unfiltered andunlimited teacherinput will lead toaccelerated curricu-lar enhancement inevery classroom –both in the long andshort term. The resultwill be educationalimprovement andinstructional growthin everyclassroom, culminat-ing in the significantacademic improve-ment we desire forour students.”

Reacting to the suc-cess of SB 575 andother key pieces ofthe education agenda,union representativesacross the state havepressured school cor-porations to agree tolong-term contractsthat resist key ele-ments of SB 575. WithDaniels signing thebill, districts now ben-efit from the addedflexibility in SB 575.

“This law giveslocal school leadersthe opportunity toraise academicachievement for allstudents,” said LakeRidge Schools

Superintendent Dr.Sharon Johnson-Shirley. “Moving for-ward, SB 575 willallow administratorsand teachers to focuson the importantissues that drive stu-dent success. Finally,all education stake-holders can worktogether to give ourstudents the top-notcheducation theydeserve.”

Moreover, the lawprevents contractsfrom handcuffingschool leaders withclauses that are detri-mental to studentachievement. Forexample, some con-tracts limit the num-ber of meetings aprincipal may havewith instructors orprevent principalsfrom assigning effec-tive teachers to high-need classrooms.

The new law worksin partnership withSB 1, Indiana’steacher quality legis-lation, to identify andreward excellentteachers and princi-pals and end the sen-iority-only provisionsthat often determinereduction in forcedecisions as well aspay increases and pro-fessional protections.Together, SB 1 and SB575 allow school lead-ers to financially com-pensate their besteducators and createlocally developedevaluation systemsinfluenced by studentachievement andgrowth.

The last time thespring turkey seasonopened on April 27 wasin 2005, and hunters seta harvest record thatyear of 11,159 birds.The next year, the sea-son opened April 26and hunters again set arecord harvest of13,193.

That record stooduntil last year whenhunters set a new stan-dard of 13,742 birds ina season, which beganon the earliest possibledate (April 21).

This year’s springturkey season runsthrough May 15.

Hunters are allowedone bearded or maleturkey. A wild turkeyhunting license and agame bird habitatstamp are requiredunless otherwiseexempted. Exemptionsare detailed in theonline Turkey HuntingGuide.

Backs said he is“cautiously opti-mistic” about whathunters can expect this

spring.“I’d like to project

that we’re probablygoing to kill around13,000-14,000 birds,” hesaid. “If we fall below13,000 birds, given thesummer brood produc-tion stuff, I won’t besurprised either.

“As usual, I tell peo-ple the highest percent-

age of the harvestoccurs in the first fivedays of the season.However, if you don’tlike hunting with thecrowds, I suggest youhunt during the secondand third weeks wherewe have a lot less pres-sure and still haveplenty of birds to har-vest.”

Gov. Daniels signsteacher contract bill

If you’re wonderingwhy the spring wildturkey hunting seasonstarts as late as it doesthis year, DNR wildliferesearch biologistSteve Backs has anexplanation.

“It’s always the firstWednesday after the20th of April, so it canbe the 21st to the 27th,”said Backs, of the date-setting process that isbased partly on biologyand partly on courtesyto hunters.

“Part of the reasonthat we went to stan-dardized dates yearsago is it gave us theopportunity to set upthe season dates aheadof time so those peoplewho plan their vaca-tions would knowwhen the turkey sea-son was,” he added.“We (also) based it onbiological knowledgeso that we would inter-cept the peak of thesecond gobbling periodas well as when most ofthe hens were incubat-ing.”

Backs provides moredetail about this year’sApril 27 opener andother turkey topics in aseries of video clipsthat can be viewedonline at www.hunt-ing.in.gov/6417.htm.

In an effort toreduce the number ofspeed-related deathsand injuries onHoosier roadways, theIndiana CriminalJustice Institute(ICJI) has awardedDangerous DrivingEnforcement (DDE)grants to 29 local lawenforcement agen-cies, including theIndiana State Police,to aggressively targetspeeding motorists.

Motorists canexpect to see a greaterpolice presence onroadways beginningthis month, as partici-pating agenciesincrease their effortsto target and ticketmotorists who driveabove posted speedlimits. While speedenforcement is a year-round priority, manylaw enforcementagencies will be step-ping up their effortsover the comingweeks.

In 2010, 18 percentof fatalities and 12percent of injuriessustained in Indiana

traffic collisionsinvolved speed. Infact, nearly 10 percentof all collisions thatoccurred in Indianainvolved a driver whowas speeding.

“Speed limits existto protect motorists,”said ICJI TrafficSafety DivisionDirector RyanKlitzsch. “Anytime adriver disregards theposted speed limit,their chances forbeing involved in acollision increaseexponentially.”

According to theNational HighwayT r a f f i cA d m i n i s t r a t i o n(NHTSA), crash datasince 1995 shows acontinuous increasein the number ofdeaths and injuriesattributed to speed.Despite gains in vehi-cle safety and passen-ger protection, thou-sands of Americansstill die each year inspeed-related crashes.

Friendship Day cen-ters around passingon “the key” and liv-ing our friendshipwith each other.Looking at women inthe Bible, likeMiriam and thethree women at thetomb of Jesus, whoactively and fearless-ly shared that “key”,the good news, withtheir friends, we con-tinue their missionstill today. In thebook, Words to LoveBy, Mother Theresasaid, “Jesus has saidvery clearly, I am theLove to be loved, theLife to be lived, theJoy to be shared, theBread to be eaten,The truth to be told,the Light to be lit,the Peace to be given.Jesus is everything!”

Indeed, Jesus is the“key”!

Looking over thepast 70 years,Church WomenUnited has beenable to survivebecause of themany women whohave shared theirbeliefs, their desireto create peace inour communities,and their insistenceto create equalityfor all women. Wecontinue to sharetheir friendship bycoming together tocelebrate eachother, to welcomeand increase thenumber of thosenew to the move-ment of CWU and toremember thosewho have gonebefore us. The key isstill being passed onin 2011.

Church Women United announcesnationwide May Friendship Day

Dear editor,Does anyone

remember a timewhen our govern-ment had suchapparent financialproblems, theanswers seemed fair-ly obvious and somany had so littledesire, commonsense, intestinal for-titude or patriotismto take the necessarysteps?

I believe it is ourown fault. The pastshows that “We, thepeople” have beenmore than happy tovote for the one whopromised the biggestcheck with no con-cern where themoney would comefrom as long as itwasn’t from our wal-let. Now we have a 14trillion dollarnational debt, whichis headed upward,approximately twotrillion dollar yearlydeficit, half the pop-ulation on the doleand a president thateither doesn’t under-stand simple math ordoesn’t care that weface certain bank-ruptcy after he’s outof office, of course.

I also believe that“We, the people”finally get it. Thespending has to stop.Don’t let anyone con-vince you that rais-ing taxes on the“rich” will solve thep r o b l e m .Confiscating all thewealth in this coun-try will not beenough to fix it. Theonly solution that

offers a glimmer ofhope is to electSenators andRepresentatives whoare willing to take astand for fiscalresponsibility. Greatstrides in that direc-tion were made inNovember 2010 andsome lessons werelearned.

From those lessonsthe Hoosiers for aConservative Senate(HFCS) emerged.HFCS has beenorganized to solidifysupport for oneappropriate candi-date to prevent hav-ing votes for achange in directionbeing split multipleways with the elitecandidate securingthe victory.

C3, WabashCounty’s Tea Party,will host Greg Fettigon May 2 at theirmonthly meeting.Fettig, a representa-tive of HFCS, willexplain the proce-dures for endorsingone candidate run-ning for Senatorfrom Indiana in 2012.The meeting willtake place atBachelor CreekChurch of Christ at 7p.m.

The C3 boardworks very hard tobring informationalmeetings on currentconcerns to the pub-lic. ReplacingSenator Lugar, whohas apparently con-tracted DCitis, is oneof those concerns.C.L. Bryant willkeynote the June

meeting, which isdedicated to appreci-ation for our localpastors and themoral issues of goodgovernment and fis-cal responsibility.

Set aside the first

Monday of each

month for these

informational meet-

ings.

by Aaron TurnerA family-owned busi-

ness planted its roots inNorth Manchesterrecently with the acqui-sition of Scheerer

Insurance.Kevin Killen is a

fourth-generation ownerof the family business,which has been in opera-tion since 1928 in

Huntington County. ANew Paris store waslater added, and aWabash branch, so thenext natural step wouldbe a North Manchester

office.“One of the things we

really pride ourselves onis our accessibility tothe customers,” Killensaid. “We have seven

major insurance carri-ers where most agencieshave two or three.

“But above all that,we’re here for the cus-tomer ... so much so that

if a farmer would like tomeet us at their house,that would be just finewith us.”

The business will beknown as “ThorneInsurance, SheererAgency” and willremain in its location inhistoric downtownNorth Manchester.

“It’s good to be cen-trally located,” Sheerersaid. “We renovated ouroffice a couple years ago,so we’re fit to accommo-date all of our cus-tomers.”

Killen’s passion forhis clients, though, isthe difference maker.

“Do you want a guythat you see once every10 or 12 years to insureyour property and pos-sessions, or someonethat’s willing to come toyour door and actuallyget to know you?” Killensaid. “We’re tailored tothe farmer — I grew upon a farm and that’s stillmy hobby, so when we goover a piece of equip-ment, we actually knowwhat’s being talkedabout.

“We even go a step far-ther and text messagefarmers with grainupdates from the mar-kets just as a courtesy.

“All our claims are han-dled in house, and Ibelieve no one else in thecounty does that, which isimportant for not-at-faultaccidents,” Killen said.

Thorne Insurancestarted with just lifeinsurance in 1928, butsince 1943, the companyhas broadened its baseto include multiperil,health insurance, 401Ks,

IRAs.Sheerer will remain

in the office as a full-time agent while JasonDawes and DavidCallahan will be thebranch managers.

The seven carriersare: Western ReserveGroup, IndianaFarmer’s Mutual, AutoOwners, Celina, ErieInsurance, Progressiveand State Auto.

“We offer the sameinsurance as anyone elsein town,” Killen said.“It’s just a matter of whodo you want the bestservice from.

“In our opinion, it’swhat we can offer thatsets us apart from theother insurance compa-nies.

“We’re keeping all ofGeorge’s clients, andlooking to add more.

“If you think we couldbe a good fit, we’re herefor the customers and Imake it a point to be inthe office at least once aweek, which right now,is on Wednesdays.”

Killen also said thatspecialty insurance iswithin the norm withThorne Insurance.

“We can do anything,event wise, from balloonrides to demolition der-bies,” he said. “Thereare very few things wecan’t do.”

expressed his sadnessover leaving, he alsoadmitted being excit-ed about moving on tohis new job and newchallenges.

“I’m happy that I’mleaving Marketplacein a good way,” he con-tinued. “I’m not con-cerned or worriedabout leaving becauseI think there is greatbuy-in in terms of thecommunity. I thinkone good thing is thatwe’ve really solddowntown as being anasset, so there is asuccess we can beproud of.

”I wish Wabash allthe best, even thoughI don’t think they nec-essarily need itbecause I thinkthey’re on the righttrack. I know thatWabash is looked toby many communitiesin the state as beingan example of what todo. I’m going to takewhat I learned here,apply it there, andhopefully make a dif-ference.”

According toBeauchamp, theboard of directors’main goal is to carryon the energy thatwas created whileHall was here, alongwith all the projectsthat were started.

“I’d say J.P.’s entre-preneurial style real-ly built the organiza-tion into a placewhere we can havesomebody come inand pick up where heleft off, more or less,”Beauchamp said.“And while we are sadto see him go, we rec-ognize that this is anexceptional careeropportunity and[we’re] excited forhim and his family.”
