MANCHESTER SPARTANS | 22 THE PAPER December 1, 2010 Training session for Certified Livestock Producers to be held Jan. 25, 2011 The Indiana State Department of Agriculture is holding a training session for the Certified Livestock Producer Program on Jan. 25, 2011, at Whitley County Farm Bureau Office, Columbia City. The training will start at 8:30 a.m. and con- clude at 3:30 p.m. There is no cost to attend and lunch will be provided. The Certified Livestock Producer Program Training will cover five areas: environment, food safety and animal well being, emergency planning, bio-security and being a good neighbor. The Certified Livestock Producer Program is open to any size operation and pro- ducers of all species. by Danielle Smith Walter Lengel’s story is similar to the stories of many American men in his age group: he was drafted and served three years in various coun- tries for the duration of World War II. Although many men shared this same experience, they each have unique memories of their time spent overseas. Lengel was drafted in 1943 at 20 years of age. He served under General Patton in the 1st, 3rd and 7th armies and spent nine months at the front lines. “When I was there everyone was drafted,” he said. “I didn’t know anyone that enlisted on purpose unless they were older and had been in the service for awhile.” Lengel’s first stop was Liverpool, England. “We were on the boat three days and never even saw the dock because it was that foggy. We were only 10 feet from the dock,” he said. He spent a few months in Plymouth, England – 90 percent of which was destroyed from bombing – before going into combat in France. “When we went into France is when it got bad. Going from England to France our boat got hit with a mine. It killed 23 men on the boat, then we went on into the beach and took everyone off the boat and they sunk it,” Lengel said. Coming onto Normandy Beach there were no docks. The men would exit the boats directly onto trucks that had been waterproofed. Lengel arrived at Normandy after the beach had already been cleared, so his outfit was being assaulted by snipers only. “We went into the beach at night and we slept in these gliders that were shot down for the first four days. Then we started up on the breakthrough,” Lengel said. The breakthrough was 3 miles wide and 150 miles long, with Germans firing on each side. “That’s when I shot down the plane. I was the third truck in the convoy and I shot the plane down,” he said. After Lengel and his group made it through the breakthrough, their tanks ran out of gas. The men were unable to turn the guns to shoot at the Germans and 33 tanks were taken, each holding five men. Lengel was part of headquarters, which meant that he drove a truck to deliver rations and supplies to their outfit, which consisted of 800 men. “You would haul a load of gas to the front lines then haul a load of prisoners back,” Lengel said. He went on to explain that there were 20 prisoners in each load. For the first six months in France, the men were required to drive without lights on their vehicles at night in order to keep them hidden from the German planes overhead. “An airplane can be five miles up and see you light a match, a lot were killed that way,” Lengel explained. Driving the truck offered many experiences for him: on Christmas of 1944, he drove 300 miles and saw 56 vehicle accidents due to the weather, his assistant driver was shot by a sniper and he hit a mine that blew the floor out of his vehicle. Another duty of Lengel’s was to return displaced persons to their country of origin. “The Germans had brought them down to work and then after we took the towns we had to take these people back to their countries,” he explained. He went on to tell a story of an accident that he wit- nessed in which a truck with 40 displaced persons went off the edge of a mountain, killing all of the passengers. Lengel was in the town where the Battle of the Bulge occurred, two hours before the battle took place. “I was in there with a jeep to look for supplies and they started dropping German paratroopers,” he said. The 1st Airborne, approximately 25,000 men, was in the town for the battle. World War II vet shares his story of active duty Lengel’s memory is full of hundreds of anecdotes of different things he experienced during his tour of duty overseas, which lasted two years and three days. He saw countless men injured, transported tons of supplies and people and disarmed bombs. Lengel was told he would be stationed in Japan and was provided specs for the Japanese bombs and mines to study. However, before it was time for him to leave, the war ended and he was discharged. “In 1945, we came back on the SS Westpoint. We were the only boat that was allowed to come back because of the weather,” he said. “I came in at the beach in Virginia, then we went into a big building and they told us we were discharged and gave us a few dollars for a bus fare.” Lengel rode back to Wabash with a friend who was also discharged. He arrived home at midnight. Now 87 years old, Lengel says he would like to return to France to see what it now looks like. “I’d like to go back to Plymouth, England, and all of them and see how it looks because there wasn’t much of it there when we were there,” Lengel explained. As is the case with many veterans, Lengel cher- ishes his memories of the service, but says he would not want to experience it again. “You would never make it again. Every time you were on the front lines your chances got worse of whether you would make it back or not,” Lengel said. In closing, Lengel stated that he doubts there are 100 men still living from his outfit. Commissioners discuss new snow ordinance by Danielle Smith Bob Brown, EMA director, and Steve Downs, county attorney, presented a new snow ordinance to the Wabash County Commissioners at their Nov. 29 meeting. This ordinance would help Wabash County conform to the system that the State uses. In the current snow ordinance, Wabash County may only determine one level of snow emergency, the new ordinance would provide for four levels of emergency: - A Level 1 (Red) “Emergency” Travel Advisory would be declared when roads have become impassable and the County Highway Department is unable to keep the roadways cleared due to severe snowfall and high winds producing high drifts and blizzard like conditions. Travel may be restricted to emergency personnel only and essen- tial emergency travel by members of the public. If this level is declared, all motor vehicle travel on county highways is prohibited. - A Level 2 (Orange) “Warning” Travel Advisory would be declared when conditions are threaten- ing to the public’s safety. Only essential travel is recommended. Emergency action plans have been or should be implemented by businesses, schools, government agencies and other organizations. If this level is declared, motorists may travel on county highways at their own risk. - A Level 3 (Yellow) “Watch” Travel Advisory would be declared when routine travel or activi- ties should be restricted in areas of the county because of a hazardous situation; citizens should use caution to avoid these areas. Schools and busi- nesses should begin to implement their emer- gency action plans. If this level is declared, motorists should be aware that travel could be restricted on county highways and caution should be used. - A Level 4 (White) “Caution” Travel Advisory would be activated when conditions may develop that limit or hinder travel or activities in isolated areas. No travel restrictions have been imposed, but citizens should be alert to changing road and weather conditions. Vehicles exempt from the effects of declaring a travel advisory are emergency response vehicles, public utility vehicles, towing vehicles, vehicles being operated to care for livestock and any snow- mobiles or other off-road vehicles that are declared to be “emergency vehicles” by the coor- dinator or Sheriff of Wabash County. Residents may monitor the status of travel alerts at Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s website, www.in.gov/dhs, by clicking on Travel Advisory Map. #25 Manchester College fell to 2-1 on the season following an 84-73 home loss to North Central College last weekend.

The Wabash CountyExtension Serviceand POETBiorefining will pres-ent a program titled“Agricultural OutlookBreakfast and PARPProgram” at theWabash CountyREMC Building onDec. 8 starting withbreakfast at 7:15 a.m.,the program willbegin at 8 a.m.The program is free

to the public and isdesigned to help farm-ers, land owners,input suppliers, andthose interested inagriculture make bet-ter business decisionsin the coming year. The “2011

Agricultural OutlookProgram” will be pre-sented by Chris Hurt,an agricultural econo-mist from the Purduecampus. BryanChristjansen, POETBiorefining, will pres-ent “Update onEthanol Production”. The program will

also include“Choosing the RightSeed Traits to maxi-mize Pest Control andYield” by Bob Neilsen,extension specialist,A g r o n o m yDepartment PurdueUniversity. Next onthe program will be“Explaining theFertilizer ApplicatorCertification Rule” byCurt Campbell, exten-sion educator ANR,Wabash County. Laston the program willbe “Weed ControlUpdate” by BillJohnson, extensionspecialist, Botany andPlant Pathology,

Purdue University. Those wishing to

receive PARP credittowards re-certifica-tion need to be pres-ent for the completeprogram and will alsoneed to pay the fee forcredit. U.S. farmers had

disappointing cornyields in 2010 anddemand remainsstrong for grains, soy-beans, and foodaround the world.Will there be enoughto feed and fuel theworld in 2011? TheAgricultural Outlookfor 2011 will helpanswer this and otherimportant questions. The Russian

drought last summerset the upward grainprice pattern inmotion. Theirreduced production isbreathing new lifeinto U.S. exports,which could reachrecord highs. Muchhigher wheat pricesencouraged U.S. farm-ers to plant wheat thisfall after the lowestIndiana wheat acreson record in 2009.More wheat acres thisfall will compete withcorn and soybeanacres next spring.Thus, the bidding warfor 2011 acres isalready underway.The volume of corn

used for ethanol willset new records in2011, but the rate ofethanol expansion isslowing sharply. Willthere be enough cornacres to meet thosedemands next year?China excited thecorn market last

spring by purchasingU.S. corn for the firsttime in 15 years. Somebelieve this could bethe beginning ofgrowing Chinese pur-chases in comingyears. Crop prices are up,

but so are input costsfor 2011. This pro-gram will outlinewhich inputs areheaded higher andexamine the cropsthat will provide thestrongest expectedreturns next year. The livestock sector

recovered somewhatthis year after twofinancially devastat-ing years in 2008 and2009. Most specieshave reduced herdsand flocks and maynow be able to pay$5.00 a bushel for cornand still cover allcosts. How will themuch higher feedprices impact live-stock and dairy pro-duction decisions in2011? Will feed pricesmove higher thancosts?Land values and

rents should be head-ed higher in 2011, buthow much and howhigh can land valuesand rents rise beforethey are too high?What are the drivingfactors to be watch-ing? These and othertopics will be covered. The breakfast is

being sponsored byPOET Biorefiningand if you plan to eatbreakfast pleaseRSVP to POET at 1-866-612-2532 orWabash CES at 260-563-0661 ext. 246.

Did you have yoursoybeans today? Maybeyou did and you don’teven know it.High-quality, high-

protein soybean mealis the main foodsource for Indiana-grown beef, dairy,chicken, pork andfish, which makessoybeans a part ofmost people’s dailydiets. Soybeans pro-vide sustainable,farm-grown qualityfood not only forHoosiers, but formany others aroundthe country and theworld as nearly halfof all Indiana soy-bean meal is exportedto other markets.These are just some

Brightbill, were working as a committee to establish activities for theresidents of Timbercrest. They determined a need for an outlet ofsinging together in three or four part harmony. Many of the residentshad participated in community or church choirs prior to their move toTimbercrest, and they felt some people would enjoy this activity. BeckyWaas served as the first director. The people sang for their own enjoy-ment but were also available for programs and worship opportunitiesthat happened at Timbercrest. When the position of director of activities was established, the choir

continued. Marlin Brightbill took over the director’s position. He servedin this capacity until his final illness. Mary Coe filled in for Marlin whenhe was hospitalized and was asked to continue after his death. She is thecurrent director.The choir has a varied repertoire of sacred and secular music. They

have, in past years, participated in combined choir experiences with sev-eral other Senior Living Centers. The choir members are all currentmembers of the Timbercrest family. Wanda Miller serves as their accom-panist. The average age of its members is somewhere within the seniorcitizen range. The biggest joy is the making of music together for theenrichment of the family living at Timbercrest and other friends.

Grain prices movedhigher this year andthe costs of growingthem are likely to dothe same in the yearahead, according toPurdue Universityestimates.The 2011 Purdue

Crop Cost & ReturnGuide projects thatfarmers could seedouble-digit increasesin variable costs,which include fertiliz-er, seed, pesticides,fuel, machinery andother expenses notrelated to labor orland rental.The guide is avail-

able by going onlineto http://www.age-con.purdue.edu/extension/pubs/index.aspand clicking on “2011Purdue Crop Guide.”While prices for

corn, soybeans andwheat are up fromthis past spring, farm-ers will need thosehigher returns to off-set a spike in variablecrop production costs,said Bruce Erickson,Purdue’s director ofcropping systemsmanagement and acrop guide contribu-tor.“For rotational

corn, which is most ofthe corn in Indiana,our estimates showvariable costs in 2011up around 13 percentcompared with 2010,”Erickson said.“Soybean productioncosts will be uparound 6 percent, andfor winter wheat

we’re estimating thatcosts will be 13 per-cent higher. If yougrow continuouscorn, you can expectto spend about 14 per-cent more next year.”Much of the pro-

jected cost increasesare tied to a recentsurge in fertilizerprices. An April U.S.Department ofAgriculture survey ofIllinois retail fertiliz-er prices – a bench-mark for Indiana –reported average per-ton costs of ammoniaat $520, diammoniumphosphate at $503 andpotash at $501. Thismonth those pricesare $736, $661 and$526, respectively.After years of

incremental move-ment in fertilizerprices, the market hasbeen much morevolatile since 2007,Erickson said.“Crop production

around the world, andthe demand associat-ed with that, stillseems to be the pri-mary driver,” he said.“And fertilizer ismore and more aworld market now.Producing fertilizersis an energy-intensivebusiness, so produc-ers often source out-side the U.S., whereenergy costs can be afraction of what theyare here.”There’s not a lot

most farmers can doto soften the blow ofhigher production

Farmers likely to spend more to produce 2011 cropscosts, Erickson said.They can shop aroundto find the best dealfor fertilizer andother crop inputs andbuy in bulk and storeif they think pricesare heading up, hesaid.Erickson reiterated

that the crop guidecontains cost esti-mates, and that a lotcould happen in themarket between nowand when the 2011crop is planted.“We offer these esti-

mates to provide a rel-ative benchmark tohelp farmers,landowners and thoseworking with themsome perspective onthe economics of pro-ducing a crop,”Erickson said. “Thesituation for an indi-vidual farm can bemuch different thanthis depending onhow and when crops

were sold, how pur-chases were made,etcetera.“While costs are

back up, most cropproducers are manag-ing to stay ahead ofthe curve. This is incontrast to the situa-tion with livestockproducers, though,where an increase intheir feed prices fur-ther pinches returns.I’m old enough that Iremember those longstretches of leanyears on the farm, sowe’ll take this for nowand ready ourselvesfor whatever thefuture holds.”The Purdue Crop

Cost & Return Guideis prepared annuallyby Purdue’s depart-ments of AgriculturalE c o n o m i c s ,Agronomy, andBotany and PlantPathology.

North Manchester residentremembers earlier timesDear editor,A song by Alan Jackson called “Remember When” keeps play-ing in my head and I’m trying not to cry. I remember when I heardour pets were being poisoned by dog food from China and ourbabies’ plastic bottles and toys contained lead paint. I thought,“The U.S. won’t put up with that!” Then we did.I remember when clothes didn’t need an extra button in a bag,and we didn’t put up with poor quality. It’s no longer an oddity forsomething brand new to fail or break.I remember when Americans were able to be as self-sufficient asthey wanted to be. Then there’s a homeowner in Georgia who wasfined $5,000 for planting too many vegetables, selling and givingsome away, as he had always done.I remember when jobs were everywhere and our homes wereour most valuable asset. We could call or write our Congress andthey seemed to listen. Schools taught us how to think, not what tothink. Kids could excel without being restrained until everyoneelse caught up so others wouldn’t feel bad.I remember when our elderly were revered because they havewisdom from years of hardship and heartache. They taught, welistened and are better off for it. Children were loved and caredfor, and only smacked down for real offenses like disrespectingparents. (Not condoning violence against children).I remember when the President worked tirelessly on behalf ofAmerica instead of being on a perpetual vacation, campaigningand telling the rest of the world that no country should be moreprosperous than any other. What does that tellyou? Redistribution is a one-way ticket to the rest of the world. It’snot meant for us. I’ve never noticed the world’s poor being betteroff with billions of our tax dollars because it rarely reachesthem. But I’ve noticed world leaders living in palaces while the“little” people around them starve to death.Obama says America can absorb a terrorist attack. Instead oftelling the world we will make sand of our attackers, he bows andsays we can take it! Where can we “absorb” anattack? Washington D.C.? That would be my guess. Who’s expend-able? New York? Vegas? Wabash? No we can’t, it’s unacceptable.Anyone else wonder how unemployment stays at 9.6 percent,and inflation remains “low”? The numbers are being fixed. Obama says the recession is over and we are on the righttrack. Translation? They’ve put “stupid” in the water and expectus to drink it.Some say that we deserve to lose everything for having slaves,and pushing Indians onto reservations. I wasn’t there. If I was I’dbe in that forgotten group of people that believed no human beingshould be owned or displaced. I’m not now, never have been and not until Jesus comes backwill I be perfect. Only then by His grace do I expect to “squeak”by. I pray Psalm 109:8 for our President: “Let his days be few, andlet another take his office.” May God bless us all.

Dear editor,I appreciate the

opportunity for pub-lic input on the UserFee SpecialAssessment beforethe Solid WasteBoard of Directorshave to make diffi-cult decisions affect-ing our community. Ihave several issuesto be considered.In the most recent

election on the ballotwas the referendumfor the property taxcaps for Indiana. Thevoters voted and thereferendum passedby a large margin. Ibelieve this provedthat local propertyowners need sometype of stability andat this time cannotafford higher taxes.If the user fee was

passed, I believe thiswould open the doorfor other privatebusinesses, schoolsand other govern-mental branches touse property taxes asa way to pay andmanage their budg-ets.Unemp loymen t

benefits will be end-ing for a lot of localresidents on Nov. 30.Total benefits of 99weeks were given.On Nov. 12, the

food bank sponsoredanother of the ongo-ing food for familiesin need. The eventwas held at the samelocation as always atthe DallasWinchester SeniorCenter, Bond Street.At this time, familiesin need started lin-ing up several hoursbefore the event.Vehicles were in acontinuous line fromthe entrance of thepark on Hill Street tothe east all the wayto Cass Street.

Music shares concerns about property taxesour community. Thisevent lasted severalhours with continu-ous lines.I have been fortu-

nate with employ-ment with the City ofWabash for 27 years,and also have been aproperty investorand manager. I havenever seen so manyvacant propertiesand properties insuch disrepair. Wehave vacant proper-ties in all neighbor-hoods. We have localrealtors and localproperty managersclosing and going outof business. In myopinion, the localbusiness owners can-not afford anothertax. Most propertymanagers that areleft in business willhave to pass thisexpense on to thetenants. Consideringall the foreclosuresand tenants thathave lost their

homes, let’s not addanother tax to thealready struggling

Photographers offer photosfor less fortunate familiesIn 2009, Help-Portrait began as an idea that

transformed into a movement in just threemonths. The idea behind Help-Portrait is sim-ple: 1. Find someone in need. 2. Take their por-trait. 3. Print their portrait. 4. Deliver their por-trait.Help-Portrait is a collection of photogra-

phers around the world using their time, equip-ment, and expertise to give back to those whoare less fortunate. What does that look like? Itlooks like photographers taking pictures andthen giving those pictures back to the families.A group of local photographers has joined

together to bring Help-Portrait to the Wabashcommunity. Wabash Help-Portrait will be heldat Curves, 1339 N. Cass St., on Dec. 4 from noonto 4 p.m. These portraits can be of individuals,couples or families.Interested participants should arrive dressed

for their portrait. Local volunteers will pro-vide makeup and hair stylists if desired. A bar-ber has also volunteered to offer haircuts formen. More information can be found on thegroup’s Facebook page Wabash Help Portrait.

Meals on Wheels seeksvolunteer driversChristmas is a special season when volun-

teers are urgently needed. This certainlyholds true for the Meals on Wheels programin Wabash. Over the last three months, sever-al of their volunteer drivers have resignedfor various reasons: illness; job changes;moving out of town and one wonderful driv-er who, after 20 years of service, just felt heneeded a break.This past year, the volume of people that

Meals on Wheels serves has increased over 40percent and has left them in need of new full-time drivers. If you are a person who would bewilling to help Meals on Wheels serve the elder-ly; those who are ill; and those who, due toadvanced age, are no longer able to preparetheir own meals, you are urgently needed.Driving for Meals takes 30 minutes to an

hour, one day per week, and is limited to a spe-cific area of Wabash.If you are willing to help, please call Jan

Givens, 260-563-7075, or Ed Cochley, 260-563-1659.

Lions Clubmembers and theirfamilies are invited tohelp wrap gifts forOperation Elf on Dec. 8at 6:30 p.m.After the business

meeting DistrictGovernor Paul Russellinstalled two newmembers into theUrbana Club – JerryLong and Ed Howard –and then made a fewcomments about LionsClub projects inDistrict 25-G and proj-ects shared by all Lionsin Indiana.One project is

Operation KidSight, astatewide visionscreening programthat works to identifytreatable or preventa-ble causes of blindnessin preschool children(ages 1-5). Operation

KidSight is a project ofLions’ Clubs through-out Indiana and TheIndiana Lions Eye &Tissue TransplantBank (in partnershipwith the Indiana LionsFoundation and theIndiana UniversityDepartment ofOphthalmology).A child’s eyes are

fully developed by age 6and any screening andtesting problems foundafter age 6 may be dis-covered too late to becorrected as a medicalcondition. DG PaulRussell read a thankyou he had receivedfrom a mother whosedaughter’s vision wassaved by the screeningthat was done by hislocal Lions Club inLakeville. The screen-ing showed the childwas extremely far-sighted. When a follow-up test was done it wasdiscovered the childhad an optic nerve thatwas enlarged. A proce-dure was done to cor-rect the problem beforeany permanent vision

there are 10,000 chil-dren in Lions District25-G that will startkindergarten next yearand most of these willhave no vision testsdone before they enterschool.

WATCHING FORWINTER FINCHESAND OTHER SUR-PRISES: If there’s anyway possible to hang abird feeder and fill it,you should. It’s one oflife’s simple joys, birdwatching. Granted, the

winter plumage isn’tas bright and festive asthe breeding plumagewe see during thespring and summermonths, but there isjoy in watching birds.A surprise to the feed-ers always makes ourefforts worthwhile.Last year, thereweren’t many reportsof pine siskinsthroughout the state.This year, we’re get-ting reports of visitingwinter finches. Justthis past week, I hadover 30 siskins at thefeeders. Of course, thenext day there werenone to be found. Theywere replaced with a“charm” of goldfinch –over 50 of them scat-tered like windblownseed under the feeders.I was recently asked

by a co-worker whatmy favorite bird was.When I was a kid, itwas the goldfinch. Iremember beingaround eight years old,riding my bike downthe fence-lined countryroad. Wildflowers cov-ered the fences, butter-

flies flit from blossomto blossom in the sum-mer sun. The goldfinchwould be perched uponthe fence. As Iapproached them,they’d move a little fur-ther down the fence,dipping in flight. Theirbright yellow bodies,black wings and tops ofheads, and cheery songdrew me into theirworld. It was severalyears afterward that Ilearned the males lostthat bright breedingplumage and resem-bled females in thewinter months. Ilearned only after call-ing a photographer tothe house, and payingthem, to get photos sosomeone could identifythe strange birds I hadat my feeders. To thisday, I’m still“charmed” by thesebright bursts of sun-shine. While I never tire of

seeing goldfinches,those occasional andrare birds sure domake things a littlemore exciting. A lot ofpeople put out a wide

variety of foods todraw in this bird orthat. I used to, butfound a universal seedthat most all birds willeat is black oil sun-flower. I also put outblack niger (AKA this-tle) seed for those win-ter finches and suetcakes for the wood-peckers. That’s aboutas fancy as it getsaround this backyardbird diner, but thebirds don’t seem tocomplain. Keep an eye on those

feeders. I have a feelingit’s gonna be a goodbirdwatching year. ~Lynnanne
