Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

“She’s here,” says Chris Newport, as he smilesto another employee. “The bus just arrived; I can’twait to meet her.”

Newport, Wellbrooke of Wabash, The Centerfor Health and Wellness General Manager, quick-ly walks through the halls of the newly built67,000 square-foot center saying “She’s here,” tonearly every employee he passes.

Today is a big day for Wellbrooke; their secondresident has just arrived.

On Saturday, Jan. 26, Wellbrooke’s first residentarrived, and the center has room to facilitate 100residents. Wellbrooke offers 30 service-rich resi-dential apartments and 70 private suits for reha-bilitative or long-term care.

“Our three main focuses at the Wellbrooke ofWabash are hospitality, positive outcomes for ourresidents, as well as quality resident care,”Newport told The Paper of Wabash. “We arebringing something to the Wabash area that theyhaven’t had in the past. It’s a different outlook onsenior living,” he said.

According to the Wellbrooke website, they havepartnered with Living Well in Wabash to, “createa satellite location for the local senior center forWabash County and with Wabash CountyMuseum to bring their historical displays into thebuilding for its guests as well as the local commu-nity.”

“We have a lot of focus on destinations,” saidNewport. “We have very nice rooms, but we’d likethe residents to be out.”

Wellbrooke has a full events calendar and willoffer residents activities throughout the day.There is plenty of common space, four diningareas, full-service salon, and a full-service reha-bilitative center that focuses on physical, occupa-tional and speech therapy. They also have a put-ting green, movie the-ater, computer learn-ing room and fire pit.

Wellbrooke strives to offer all the ameni-ties, but they also want to partner with theWabash Community and have outings forthe residents.

“We don’t want to limit them to here in thecenter. We have a bus that we will utilize on adaily basis,” said Newport. The focus of beinga part of the community is apparent through-out the whole building. Eighty percent of therenderings have to do with the Wabash area.The halls are lined with photos taken through-out the county and stretched onto large canvas-es.

Newport says Wellbrooke takes the hospitalityapproach, and they want families to feel just aswelcome as the residents.

Visitors are invited to use all of the amenitiesand be a part of the Wellbrooke Center.

“We want to make sure we maintain the safetyof residents, so we do secure the building in theevenings,” said Newport, but there are accesspoints around the building where visitors canreach the nurses’ stations and be let inside. “Wewant to maintain their independence and keepthem safe,” Newport said.

The Wellbrooke Center staff will make theeffort to ensure residents are living the way theywant.

“If residents want to sleep in until 11 a.m. andhave breakfast, they can. If they want to wake upat 3 in the morning and have a cheeseburger,we’re going to make that happen,” said Newport.

Wellbrooke, has a 24 hour licensed staff, and 24total staff members. They are currently waitingfor one final inspection to receive their Medicarecertification, but they are accepting residents.For more information, visit their website atwellbrookeofwabash.com.

Dam removal leads Jan. 31 annual meeting for Middle Eel River Watershed Initiative Districts is the strong,diverse partnering ofmore than 24 agenciesand organizations toimprove the middleEel River watershed.

“It might be a mis-nomer to call it an ini-

tiative anymore,” saysTerri Michaelis, coor-dinator of the MiddleEel River WatershedInitiative headquar-tered at ManchesterUniversity. “It seemsthe Middle Eel is

many initiatives inone and after fouryears of its existence,it is up and coming asa mainstay to organi-zations of its kind innorth centralIndiana.”

The Initiative willcelebrate its collabo-rations and achieve-ments at an annualmeeting at 8:30 a.m.on Jan. 31. The publicis invited. The meet-ing will precede certi-fication training forCategory 14 fertilizerapplicators. All ses-sions are in the MUUnion, on East Streeton the east edge of the

North Manchestercampus. Registrationbegins at 8 a.m.

A highlight of theannual meeting willbe discussion ofremoval of two lowdams along the EelRiver, in a partner-ship with faculty andstudents in theE n v i r o n m e n t a lStudies program atM a n c h e s t e rUniversity, as well asstate and federalagencies.

The Initiative useda $120,000 grant toremove the mid-19thcentury dams atNorth Manchesterand Liberty Mills onOct. 11-12. Fundingwas primarilythrough the U.S. Fishand Wildlife Serviceand the Ohio RiverBasin Fish HabitatPartnership.

“After both damswere removed, it did-n’t take long for the

stream to stabilizeand reestablish, saysMichaelis. “Withinthe first couple ofhours, the differencein stream height wasstrikingly evident atdifferent pointsupstream of the damsremoved.” Over thenext couple of years,MU students will con-tinue to monitor eco-logical changes as aresult of the damremovals.

Indiana’s farmlandowners will pay high-er property taxes in2014 on the heels of anincrease in the baserate for assessed landvalue, PurdueExtension agricultur-al economist LarryDeBoer says.

The base rate,which is the startingpoint for calculatingtaxes on farmland,jumped from $1,630per acre in 2012 to$1,760 for 2013. Taxesassessed on thisyear’s base rate will

be paid in 2014.The base rate has

exactly doubled injust seven years, from$880 per acre in 2007.

The value ofIndiana farmland isassessed based on usevalue rather thanmarket value. So, evenif a parcel of farm-land borders commer-cial or residentialdevelopment, it isassessed based on theincome it can gener-ate from farming, notthe selling price.

When determining

property taxes,Indiana’s Departmentof Local GovernmentFinance takes intoaccount the base rate,a productivity factorand an influence fac-tor. Productivity fac-tors are based on thesoil’s productivity forgrowing corn. Theyare scheduled to risefor taxes in 2014, butaccording to DeBoer,bills have been pro-posed in the GeneralAssembly to cancelthat change.

The influence fac-

tor is a percentagereduction in the dol-lar amount of the pro-ductivity factor toaccount for condi-tions, such as fre-quent flooding, gradeor forest cover.

The assessed farm-land value has beenrising because thebase rate is calculatedannually based on anumber of factors,such as commodityprices, land rents,input costs and inter-est rates.

“The base rate is

DeBoer: Farmland owners to pay higher property taxes in 2014said. The 2003 valuewas $1,407 per acre,and the 2009 valuewas $2,066. Thatmeans the base raterose from $1,500 peracre for taxes in 2012to $1,630 for taxes in2013.

DeBoer said thetrend of increasingproperty taxes willcontinue.

“Rents and com-modity prices werehigher and interestrates lower in 2011than they were in2005, so the base ratefor taxes paid in 2015should be about $2,050- a 16.5 percent risefrom those paid in2014,” he said.

The drought’sreduction of cornyields to a 20-year low

will affect propertytax bills, but not untilthose payable in 2016,when the 2012 num-bers enter the calcula-tion.

“Rising rents andprices and fallinginterest rates shouldraise the pay-2016 rateto about $2,430,”DeBoer said. “The2012 drought will havea small effect. Ifyields had been nor-mal, the base rateprobably would havebeen $100 to $200 high-er.”

DeBoer’s full reportand accompanyingpodcast can be foundin his column CapitalComments athttps://ag.purdue.edu/agcomm/pages/Newscolumns.aspx.

calculated using acapitalization formu-la,” DeBoer said. “Therent or net incomeearned from an acreis divided by a rate ofreturn. The depart-ment calculates capi-talized values for sixyears, drops the high-est value and thenaverages the remain-ing five years to getthe base rate.

“Each year, a valuefrom an earlier yearleaves the calculationand a value from arecent year is aver-aged in. The base rategoes up when thevalue coming in ishigher than valuedropping out.”

Compared with sixyears ago, farmlandrents are higher, com-modity prices are upand interest rates aredown - a combinationthat increases thebase rate. But there’sa four-year lagbetween the numbersin the calculation andthe tax year, so thenumbers to be usedfor 2014 taxes are from2005 to 2010.

For example, for2012 assessments,which will be taxed in2013, the capitalizedvalue for 2003 waserased and the capi-talized value from2009 included, DeBoer

One out of eighthigh school girls inIndiana reportsbeing hit, slapped, orphysically hurt onpurpose by their dat-ing partner (IndianaCoalition AgainstSexual Assault 2010Report). This is overfour percent higherthan the nationalaverage.

Locally, WabashCounty TeensAgainst DatingAbuse (or T.A.D.A.)consists of highschools students andexists to educate thecommunity, encour-age healthy datingbehaviors amongyouth and teens, andlet others know it isokay to speak up.Student memberscreated their nameand mission state-ment when thegroup began inAugust 2012.

Wabash HighSchool studentsjoined the group fora variety of reasons.“It is important tome because way toomany teens are in arelationship wherethey are beingabused whether theyknow it or not, andthis gives us achance to open thepublic’s eye to teen

dating abuse,” saidsenior Justin Holley.Junior Jaclyn Lewisagrees. “Everyoneshould know thatabuse is somethingthat shouldn’t behidden. Your storymay be able to makethe difference tosomeone who isbeing abused contin-ually. Share yourstory and change alife.”

To raise thisawareness duringNational TeenDating ViolenceAwareness Month,T.A.D.A created acalendar of healthyrelationship tips anddistributed it to localschools. Studentmembers fromNorthfield HighSchool createdhealthy relationshipquizzes online toshare with theirpeers. On February24 from 1-4 PM,T.A.D.A. will host aDad-Daughter DayDate at the WabashCounty YMCA. Dads(or other father fig-ures) and daughtersare invited enjoy anafternoon of funincluding a corn-hole tournament andphoto booth.

T.A.D.A. memberscreated the Dad-

Daughter Day Dateevent to celebratethe special bondbetween dads anddaughters, especial-ly during thismonth. The studentsbelieve no fatherwants his daughterto end up in an abu-sive dating relation-ship, and dads orother father figuresare powerful rolemodels for girls’future dating part-ners.

As senior KatieSmith said, “TeenDating ViolenceAwareness Month isimportant to mebecause I believethat there is achance in this worldfor every person tohave somebody thatthey can count onnot to abuse them,physically, emotion-ally, or verbally.Teens need to knowthat there are peoplethat can help themthrough it in a posi-tive way. Any personcan really helpwhether it be ateacher, coach, orany adult theytrust.”

Dear editor,On behalf of its

f a r m e r- m e m b e r s,Indiana FarmBureau thanks theS e n a t eA p p r o p r i a t i o n sCommittee for pass-ing Senate Bill 319out of committee

yesterday by a vote of12-0. We thankCommittee ChairSen. Luke Kenleyand the bill’s author,Senator JeanLeising, who pre-sented it.

We also appreciatethe efforts of

Representative BobCherry who present-ed House Bill 1114 inthe House Ways &Means Committee,and RepresentativeDon Lehe, chairmanof the HouseA g r i c u l t u r e

Indiana Farm Bureau regardingthe passage of the soil productivity bill

Committee, whooffered supportivetestimony. As is hispractice, the commit-tee chairman,Representative TimBrown, did not take avote on the bill yes-terday when it waspresented.

Both pieces of leg-islation address theu n r e a s o n a b l eincreases in thestate’s soil produc-tivity factor pro-posed by the state’sDepartment of LocalG o v e r n m e n tFinance. The soilproductivity factor isone component inthe complex formulaused to assess prop-erty tax for farm-land.

As Farm Bureau’sKatrina Hall pointedout in her testimonyin both hearings,statewide propertytaxes for farmerscould go up as muchas 26 percent in thenext year without alegislative fix. Suchan increase wouldcreate an unfavor-able business cli-mate for agricultureand place unreason-able new financialburdens on the menand women whogrow our food.

Beery questionsgun ownershipDear editor,

I doubt that there is any public issue thatresults in as much irrational thought andbehavior as one surrounding gun owner-ship. First of all, I have never heard any gunadvocate quote the first phrase of theSecond Amendment. Militias are no longernecessary to protect us against NativeAmericans or the British. Neither has beena serious threat for a long time.

No one is advocating the abolition of allguns, but every time this issue comes frontand center, we hear politicians and manyothers trot out the argument that it isn’t theguns that are the problem, but rather thementally ill people who use them. Whichwould be more likely to enhance the publicsafety, finding and locking up all those sus-pected of harboring violent thoughts, orbanning assault weapons?

I have one more question. Would thosewho have perpetrated these dastardly deedshave been just as dangerous if they had beenarmed with a baseball bat, a butcher knife,or even a single shot handgun or rifle? Thisis not a difficult question, but think beforeyou answer.

Dear editor,There’s no better

way to start the NewYear than with athankful heart. AsDirector ofLighthouse MissionThrift Store ofWabash County, I’dlike to personallythank anyone andeveryone who playeda role in our hugeHoliday Food BasketProject. There 1,122families in our com-munity that receivedgroceries from us dur-

ing ThanksgivingWeek. Nearly 25,000pounds of food wasgiven away.

Do you have anyidea how many handsit took to do that? Orhow many dollarswere needed to paythat bill? Well, I’vedone the math, sever-al times in fact, andapproximately $35,000was needed. But tocount the volunteers,I can’t do. I know howmany signed in tohelp, I know who sent

checks, I know stu-dents collected stuff-ing, peanut butter andjelly, but how aboutthose who gave sotheir church couldpurchase stuffing forus, or how about thedaycare parents whohad to get stuffing onthe way to school?

It’s amazing andoverwhelming thecommunity supportwe had, and I’m sothankful, because ofall of you - way toomany to list and I

don’t even know allyour names. Thatincludes all those ofthe Chili Cook-off,Poole Foods, Krogerand Bechtol’s, the fel-lows from HipsherTool and Die andWilkerson Lumber.3,500 residents of ourcommunity had holi-day groceries. That isso amazing. I get thecredit, but I give Godthe praise, and Ithank all of you. As astaff we pray that Godwill stir hearts so peo-

ple will give dollarsand volunteer theirtime. As the numbersof those in need con-tinues to increase, thedollars come and newfolks come to help. Iam so blessed andthankful to be part ofthis great ministry.Again, my sincerethanks to all whowere involved during2012, and I invite youto continue yourinvolvement in 2013.

By Shaun TilghmanMr. Dave’s

Restaurant, located at102 E. Main St., NorthManchester, recentlyreceived the State ofIndiana “HalfCentury BusinessAward” from formerGovernor MitchDaniels for “outstand-ing contributions tothe economic growthand prosperity ofIndiana.”

According to theIndiana EconomicD e v e l o p m e n tCorporation (IEDC)website, theGovernor’s Centuryand Half CenturyBusiness Awards areintended to honorIndiana businessesthat have servedHoosiers for at least50 years. The awardprogram was institut-ed in the early 90s, butthe IEDC has sincerestructured theawards to allow for

the continued tradi-tion of the program.

In addition to thequalifying criteria tobe eligible for recogni-tion, the IEDC statesthe following:“Indiana companiesthat have been inoperation for 50 to 99years, and meet pro-gram criteria, are eli-gible for the HalfCentury Award andaward winners will berecognized with acommemorative cer-tificate. Indiana com-panies that have beenin operation for 100years or more, andmeet program crite-ria, are eligible for theCentury Award.”

Indiana businessesthat receive thisrecognition are con-sidered to have pro-vided Hoosiers withvaluable products andservices, as well assteady employment,for 50-plus years. Mr.

Dave’s certainlymeets the criteria,having celebrated its50th anniversary as amainstay restaurantin North Manchesterin September of 2012.

In the spring of1962, Dave and ShirleyClapp opened Dave’sDrive-In, which fea-tured carhop service,on the west side ofNorth Manchester (atthe current Hardee’slocation). Dave hadbeen around therestaurant businesssince boyhood, andShirley was in highschool when shebegan to build herrestaurant experi-ence.

In December of1974, construction ofthe new restaurantwas completed at thecurrent site of Mr.Dave’s. During therestaurant’s 35thanniversary celebra-tion in 1997, Dave and

Shirley announcedthey were selling thebusiness to their sonand daughter-in-law,Kevin and Tina Clapp.

Over the past 50years, Mr. Dave’s andthe Clapp family haveearned significantrecognition, bothnationally and inter-nationally, for theirbreaded tenderloins,whose notoriety wasfirst establishedthrough local word-of-mouth. On the appli-cation for the HalfCentury Award, Davementioned the impor-tance of not just thecurrent Clapp familymembers, but of hisgrandfather andfather as well.

Dave stated that hisgrandfather startedhis food business in1910 with a meat mar-ket, and owned anIGA grocery store for50 years. His fatherowned a restaurant

(Kenny’s Drive-In) inSouth Whitley, andDave began learningvaluable skills of thetrade at the age of 15.

“My dad believed inquality, and he used totell me that if youtake care of yourbusiness, your busi-ness will take care ofyou,” said Dave, dur-ing an interviewabout the 50thanniversary, featuredin the Sept. 5, 2012,edition of the News-Journal. “We wereable to use this restau-rant to teach our kidsabout hard work andresponsibility. Wereally want to empha-size all that Kevin andTina have done to getus to this date.They’ve had therestaurant for 15years and theyhaven’t changed therecipes or the qualityof the products – theydidn’t take any short-

Mr. Dave’s receives Governor’s “Half Century Business Award”cuts. It’s because oftheir hard work anddedication that wecan have this 50thanniversary.”

According to Dave,he considers thismost recent recogni-tion to be an apprecia-tion award for theentire family. “It’s avery nice award toreceive,” he added, “Iam very proud thatwe have been in busi-ness this long inNorth Manchester,especially with sever-al big chain restau-rants down thestreet.”

Dave thinks themost important partof their 50-yeartenure in the commu-nity is that they havegiven over 1,000teenagers their firstjob. “The lady thatsent me the awardfrom the state said it’sreally unusual to see afamily-owned restau-rant reach this mile-stone,” Dave conclud-ed. “So, we want tothank all of our cus-tomers for their con-tinued loyalty over allthese years - theymade this great honorpossible.”

“Debt limit battle toharm vets, elderly,”Obama says.According to respect-ed financial expertsand some governmentagencies, this is nottrue. They state taxfunds paid to the fed-eral government,each day, will covernecessary authorizedexpenses. Further,those organizationsthat determine creditratings declare unlesssomething major isdone in reducing enti-tlement spending, anyincrease in the debtlimit will result inmajor lowering ofU.S. government cred-it ratings.

Obama also

declared, “We are nota deadbeat nation,”during his sham pressconference. The onlyreason we aren’t isthat the federal gov-ernment now paysour mounting debtsplus interest by bor-rowing (fromunfriendly nations) 40cents of every dollarbeing squandered. Healso said he is willingto negotiate debtreduction with GOPleaders, but only ifthey are separatefrom raising the debtlimit. Based on histor-ical experience withthe democrats,President Reagan andboth Bush presidentswould strongly advise

Paul says Obamabought the election

against that offer. TheDemocrat party isnever going to look atentitlement adjust-ments.

They are hell-benton continuing theirtax and spend habits.

Also witness thearticle on page 5 ofthe same issue: “Taxbump pinches work-ers,” Obama repeated-ly stated in both of hiscampaigns, “I willraise taxes only on thevery rich; I will pro-tect the middle class.”(That was the start ofhis class warfareplan). A few in theGOP congress foolish-ly believed him andwent along with the‘rich people’ taxincrease. It raisesabout $60 billion ayear, in new revenue,which pays for aboutfive days of federalspending. However,no mention was made(by the main-streammedia) of the admin-istration’s ‘littleadjustment’ to socialsecurity withholdingtaxes by raising themjust two percent.

Even those whovoted for Obama inhis ‘mandate’ mustnow accept that hehas again bamboozledthe little guy. Thepage 5 article is rifewith examples of 77percent of U.S. tax-payers being reallyhurt by this taxincrease - most ofthem in the middleclass or lowerclass. They now facenecessary reductionsin their spending foressentials. Accordingto the article, this willresult in $125 billioneach year not beingput into buyingpower. There is nomention how manyjobs will be lost as aresult of this insanedecision. Of course,we have only begun tosee the impact ofObamacare. Thesewriter’s insurancepremiums jumped 30percent. Experts saythey will double in2014, or be totally can-celled by employers.Maybe Obama doesn’treally care aboutthese issues, since itmay add potential vot-ers to his infamouswelfare programs.

Mitt Romney wasright. Obama did buythe election.
