Vol. 34, No. 47PO Box 603,
Wabash, IN 46992(260) 563-8326
by Brent SwanEffective Jan. 1, Trent and
Diane Miller, along with sonsAustin Foust and Zack Miller,purchased The Works IceCream Café, 396 ManchesterAve., Wabash. “About two years ago, I was
a regular customer in here,and got to know the ownerreal well,” Diane said. “Wewould talk on about a dailybasis and I put it out there thatif she was ever interested inselling the business to let usknow. In August or so, she con-tacted us and said she wasinterested in retiring.”It was then the Millers
decided to move forward andpurchase the business fromCheryl Jackson and her fami-ly. “Cheryl and her family had
ran the business for the past12 years and had a tremen-
dous business going,” Dianesaid. “They had a good cus-tomer base already in place,and were selling over 50 kindsof ice cream, food, Super
Spuds, and gourmet choco-lates and candy, so we felt likethere wasn’t much need tochange coming in.”

@thepaperofwabash.comEffective Jan. 1, Jen
Rankin became theexecutive director ofthe Wabash CountySolid WasteManagement District,whose office is locat-ed at 1101 ManchesterAve., Wabash. Rankin was previ-
ously a resident ofthe Noblesville area,and she moved toWabash in search of adifferent atmospherein which to raise hersons. “My dream was to
get them out of thecity environment andmove to what I feltwas a more whole-some area, a small-town feel,” sheexplained. “I hadfriends that lived inWabash County andthey just sang praisesto the school systems,to the college and tothe opportunity foreducation. I was hop-ing for better schoolsystems and I believeI got that.”Rankin’s education
began at Ball StateUniversity before she
transferred toUniversity ofIndianapolis. Shebegan studying in themedical field, andultimately changeddirections andfocused on businessadministration andmanagement. Shethen went on toobtain her real estatelicense.“I started my own
branch of the busi-ness with a partnerand we offered fullreal estate services aswell as licensed realestate appraisal.When the marketstarted to decline, Ilooked at it as myopportunity to comehere,” Rankin said.She continues to offerconsultation for realestate agents in theIndianapolis area ona volunteer basis.Rankin’s tenure at
Wabash County SolidWaste ManagementDistrict began in 2007,when she served as apart-time reception-ist. She then went onto serve as an officemanager before serv-ing in dual roles asoffice administrator
and assistant director.With her appointmentto executive director,
her responsibilitieshave evolved.“My responsibili-
ties have changed pri-marily in the researchand developmentareas,” she explained.She is now responsi-ble for developing newprograms and over-seeing those pro-grams, and she is cur-rently working on aplan to expand pro-gramming. The firstand largest part ofher plan is to makeuse of the educationalvalue of the facility.“I would like to, and
I’ve already started,developing a new edu-cation program wherewe can use this won-derful facility more,”she said. “We havethis beautiful areadeveloped. It’s alldone in LEEDC e r t i f i c a t i o nSpecifications. It’s allhigh-efficiency. Weused salvaged materi-als, sustainabilitymaterials and all recy-cled materials.”The Wabash County
Solid WasteManagement Districtpurchased their office
facility, which former-ly housed WabashCounty REMC, in2004. In 2006, theyobtained grants tocomplete the sustain-ability and environ-mentally friendly ren-ovation. In 2009, theywere honored withthe Green InnovationAward for NorthernIndiana for their proj-ect. To save on electrici-
ty, the facility featuresgeothermal heatingunits and LED light-ing set to sensors,which shuts off whena room is not in use.Many materials weresalvaged includingwood products andwindows. The carpets,floor mats, counter-tops, moisture barri-ers, roof, ceiling tiles,siding, display cases,and much more wereall crafted from vari-ous types of recycledmaterials. “The flooring is
bamboo, which repre-sents sustainability.Bamboo reaches a
maturity where it canbe harvested andmade into flooringand such between fiveand six years, where atree of the same sizewill take 10+ years,”Rankin said.The cabinetry is
made from sorghumstalks, all of the paintused was environ-mentally friendly andwall panels weremade from bear grass.The insulation of thebuilding is made froma byproduct of steelprocessing.“Literally just
about everything youlook at in this officewas either a sustain-ability product, arecycled product or asalvaged product,”she said. Rankin hopes to use
the facility as an edu-cational tool, todemonstrate the recy-cling process fromstart to finish. Sherecently hosted agroup of 27Manchester College
JEN RANKIN is now the executive director of the Wabash County Solid Waste Management District. She plans to expand theeducational and community involvement aspects of the District as well as facilitate more one-day recycling events. (photo byDanielle Swan)

@thepaperofwabash.comIn the Dec. 14, 2011,
issue of The Paper,local residentTimothy Butts sharedthe story of his grand-son, Evan Wolfe, whowas battling a rareform of brain cancer. Baby Evan was
born on Jan. 19, 2011.On Jan. 28, 2011, hewas introduced to hisfamily at his first get-together. On Jan. 28,2012, his family gath-ered again to say theirfinal farewell at hismemorial service. Baby Evan’s story
captivated followersfrom all over theworld as the result ofnews articles in hishometown ofAlbuquerque, N.M.,and two Indiananewspapers as well asan online journal keptby his mother, StacyWolfe. The onlinejournal has now beenviewed more than48,000 times.
Evan passed awaypeacefully in his NewMexico home in thespace between hisparents in their bed,which he had occu-pied during the longmonths of his illness. “He was never
alone,” Butts said.“Stacy’s twin sisterand mother wouldcome over during theday and Stacy wouldtake breaks when shecould, but she neverleft him.”Since Nov. 29, 2011,
Evan was only able tobe hydrated, but notfed. “The oncologist
wanted her to stop thehydration and shetold him ‘I cannot dothat. If he is going todie it’s going to bebecause the cancertook him, it’s notgoing to be because ofsomething I deprivedhim of,” Butts said.“The fact that he wasnot able to fed fromNov. 29 and he stillmade it to Jan. 21, I
just have no plausibleexplanation for that.”In the weeks follow-
ing Evan’s death, hisfamily, especiallyStacy, has continuedto benefit from theenormous responsehis story has received.“She’s raw, there’s
no two ways aroundit,” Butts said of hisdaughter. “She takes agreat deal of solaceand comfort from thefact that Evan unitedso many people.”He went on to dis-
cuss the outpouring ofsupport from mem-bers of the Wabashcommunity. “I am stunned. I
will always, alwayshave a special place inmy heart for the folksof Wabash and howthey responded andreached out,” he said.Butts and his son,
Justin Tobyas, trav-eled to New Mexicofor Evan’s memorialservice, and he recallsone particularlypoignant moment
from the service.“Tracy, Stacy’s twin
sister, got up to readwhat she had writtenand she stood up therein the spotlight andher voice began toquaver and all of asudden her sister wasstanding beside herand it was very sym-bolic of how theyhave stayed togetherthrough all of this,”he said.Butts has continued
to remain in awe ofhis daughter and herdisplay of strengththroughout Evan’s ill-ness.“I learned so much
from her through allof this. You reach anage where you havetaught your kids andyou think ‘Well, I’veimparted the lessons’and then they startimparting lessonsback. She is just aremarkable woman,”he said.Butts feels that
Stacy, who had under-gone months of fertil-
ity treatments to beblessed with a child,will always treasurethe past year.“She so desperately
wanted to be a momthat this will be a yearthat, with all of itsstruggles, she willstill cherish,” he said.Evan’s family has
remained strong infaith through the pastyear, and they hopethat others will notlose faith because itwould seem that theirprayers for a fullrecovery were notanswered.“As Tracy pointed
out, Evan didn’t lose.He won his quest tounite people,” Buttssaid. “He is a spiritualgiant on the otherside.”He concluded by
saying, “Evan, withhis story, allowed peo-ple to reach deepwithin themselvesand discover every-thing about the worldthat is good. I thinkthey figured out that
there’s nothing wrongwith the world thatwhat’s good in theworld can’t fix.”For more informa-
tion about BabyEvan’s journey, visithttp://www.caring-bridge.org/visit/Evan011911.
Baby’s heroic story unites thousands in prayer and support
To reward its mem-ber-owners for theirloyalty and the solidoperating results rec-ognized in 2011, theboard of directors ofBeacon Credit Unionreturned over $887,519of loan interest backto member-ownerswho utilize BeaconCredit Union for theirborrowing needs. “A distinct benefit
of borrowing fromBeacon Credit Unionis that each borroweris an owner of thiscooperatively organ-ized financial institu-tion,” according toBruce Ingraham,president. “We arevery proud to return,for the sixth consecu-tive year, a portion ofour loan interestreceipts back to mem-ber-owners who uti-lize Beacon CreditUnion for their bor-rowing needs. I am
especially proud ofour quality staff andtheir efforts to deliveradded value to thepeople who depend onBeacon for theirfinancial needs.”The money
returned to borrow-ers was in the form ofa loan interest rebate.Those receiving therebate were member-owners who: paidinterest on a loan dur-ing 2011, whose loanwas not delinquent inits payments as ofDec. 31, 2011; andwhose loan remainedactive as of Dec. 31,2011. The qualifying7,604 loan accountsheld by member-own-ers received 4 percentof the total interestpaid during the year.The rebated interesteffectively reducedthe annual percentagerate paid to the creditunion for loans by
approximately 15basis points. Eachborrower whose loanqualified for the loaninterest rebatereceived a depositinto their SavingsPlus account on Dec.31, 2011.Over the past six
years, Beacon CreditUnion has returnedover $4.8 million ofcollected loan interestback to member-bor-rowers through loaninterest rebates.

The bill that passedthe House is a com-prehensive ban withexemptions, includ-ing gaming facilities,cigar and hookahbars, tobacco storesand private clubs.Private clubs areallowed to have theirmembership vote topermit smoking. Ifsmoking is allowed inthe club, no one under18 will be allowed toenter. Bars are subjectto the ban, but havean 18-month graceperiod to prepare forthe ban. While the billhas passed out of theHouse five times, it
has never been con-sidered on the floor ofthe Indiana Senate,but that seems likelythis year. SenatorsGard and Alting willcarry the bill in theSenate. The Governorhas endorsed the mostcomprehensive smok-ing ban possible.
Indiana still hasover 1 million smok-ers. A strongstatewide tobacco pre-vention and cessationprogram is critical toreduce the number ofsmokers and as aresult reduce healthcare costs for every-one.
Secondhand smokeis classified as agroup A carcinogen(cancer causingagent) under theE n v i r o n m e n t a lProtection Agency’scarcinogen assess-ment guidelines. Itcontains over 4,000compounds, morethan 50 carcinogensand other irritantsand toxins.Secondhand smokehas been shown tocause heart disease,cancer, respiratoryproblems and eye andnasal irritation.Exposure to second-hand smoke takes
place in the home,public places, work-sites and vehicles.
Smoke free environ-ments are the mosteffective method tofighting exposure tosecondhand smoke.CDC’s Healthy Peopleobjectives addressthis issue by stressingthe importance ofprotection for non-smokers through poli-cies requiring smokefree schools, work-sites and publicplaces.
People will still goto restaurants andbars if they aresmoke free. Ninety
two percent ofHoosiers polled statedthat they would bemore likely or just aslikely to visit estab-lishments that will gosmoke free under astatewide law.
Studies conductedin New York,M a s s a c h u s e t t s ,California, Florida,and other smoke freestates indicate rev-enue and jobs are cre-ated after smoke freelaws are adopted. Inthe first year after asmoke free law wasenacted in New YorkCity, 10,600 hospitalityjobs were created and
business tax receiptsfrom bars and restau-rants increased by 8.7percent.

The bill that passedthe House is a com-prehensive ban withexemptions, includ-ing gaming facilities,cigar and hookahbars, tobacco storesand private clubs.Private clubs areallowed to have theirmembership vote topermit smoking. Ifsmoking is allowed inthe club, no one under18 will be allowed toenter. Bars are subjectto the ban, but havean 18-month graceperiod to prepare forthe ban. While the billhas passed out of theHouse five times, it
has never been con-sidered on the floor ofthe Indiana Senate,but that seems likelythis year. SenatorsGard and Alting willcarry the bill in theSenate. The Governorhas endorsed the mostcomprehensive smok-ing ban possible.Indiana still has
over 1 million smok-ers. A strongstatewide tobacco pre-vention and cessationprogram is critical toreduce the number ofsmokers and as aresult reduce healthcare costs for every-one.
Secondhand smokeis classified as agroup A carcinogen(cancer causingagent) under theE n v i r o n m e n t a lProtection Agency’scarcinogen assess-ment guidelines. Itcontains over 4,000compounds, morethan 50 carcinogensand other irritantsand toxins.Secondhand smokehas been shown tocause heart disease,cancer, respiratoryproblems and eye andnasal irritation.Exposure to second-hand smoke takes
place in the home,public places, work-sites and vehicles.Smoke free environ-
ments are the mosteffective method tofighting exposure tosecondhand smoke.CDC’s Healthy Peopleobjectives addressthis issue by stressingthe importance ofprotection for non-smokers through poli-cies requiring smokefree schools, work-sites and publicplaces.People will still go
to restaurants andbars if they aresmoke free. Ninety
two percent ofHoosiers polled statedthat they would bemore likely or just aslikely to visit estab-lishments that will gosmoke free under astatewide law.Studies conducted
in New York,M a s s a c h u s e t t s ,California, Florida,and other smoke freestates indicate rev-enue and jobs are cre-ated after smoke freelaws are adopted. Inthe first year after asmoke free law wasenacted in New YorkCity, 10,600 hospitalityjobs were created and
business tax receiptsfrom bars and restau-rants increased by 8.7percent.Businesses spend
up to $167 billionannually in directcosts associated withsmoking, includinghigher health, life,and fire insurancepremiums; higherworker absenteeism;lower work productiv-ity; and higher work-ers’ compensationrates.Contact your State
Senator today.

HELLO EVERY-BODY, I just got backfrom visiting mymom, for a few weeksin Florida, had a greattime but now I’m backto report on what’s
happening inLaketon. Hope all hada Merry Christmasand a great start to anew year.
ON MARCH 31,1925, the little hamletaccustomed to apeaceful existencesuddenly became ahot bed of activity. Anunusual car was seencruising aroundLaketon, especiallythe bank. At 9 a.m., aFord Touring carpulled up out front ofthe bank. Two youngmen got out and loot-ed the bank of$1,969.31. One of themen put a gun in theface of E.L. Bright,the head cashier, andordered him and Mrs.Violet Ogden to puttheir hands up. Theyquickly sped awayafter emptying thebank. Robert Fulton,S.A. Pence and R.Stranglin jumped intoa car and gave pursuitbut soon lost them.The bank carried
insurance, but detec-tives tried to find whohad committed therobbery. Manythought that it wasHarry Pierpontand/or his brother,Fred. Harry wasstopped by police in asmall town severalcounties away afterpaying for his mealwith $10 in quarters.Over $100 dollars inquarters had beentaken from the bank.However, Bright andOgden could not iden-tify him or his broth-er. Later, HarryPierport took into his
gang a young mancalled John Dillingerand gave him histraining in bank rob-bery. (From LAKE-TON by RonWoodward)
TORNADO SIRENUPDATE: TheLaketon/PleasantT o w n s h i pAssociation is pleasedto announce that thetornado siren waschecked out by J. & K.Communication Inc.They found that thesiren board neededrepaired.

incredible things inhere, people love com-ing in and looking atthem and I walk themthough and explainthe different prod-ucts,” she said. “Wewelcome groups, justcall me. I can set up atour and a presenta-tion. We welcome it.”In addition to her
goal of expanding theeducational value ofthe District, Rankinplans to strengthenthe District’s commu-nity presence andhost more single-dayadvertised events.“In my research,
what I have found as avery effective meansof advertising areone-day specialevents,” she said. She referenced the
recent Wabash Riverclean-up events.“We were highly
involved with that.Every one of us wentdown and rolled upour pants legs andwaded in the riverand helped clean up,”she said. “So I justwant to stay activeand involved and getmore involved insome of those com-munity projects.”Wabash County
Solid Waste
Management Districtaccepts nearly everytype of householdwaste, including elec-tronics, appliancescontaining Freon,chemicals, flamma-bles, etc.“People don’t real-
ize all that we do asfar as collectinghousehold hazardouswaste. We take all thethings nobody knowswhat to do with,” shesaid. “I just want toget us out there in thecommunity and letpeople know we’rehere and available tothem.”The District works
to make the process
for recycling hassle-free. The person sim-ply fills out one smallform with their name,address and phonenumber, then pullstheir vehicle to thewarehouse areawhere employees willunload the item forthem.“It’s a very easy
process, there’s nowork involved for theresident or businessat all,” Rankin said.Rankin is pleased
with her decision torelocate to Wabash,which led to thiscareer path.“This is where I’ve
ended up and I love
it,” she said. “I feellike I’m doing some-thing criticallyimportant for ourcommunity. Througheducation and exam-ple, it is my hope thatthe District and itsmessage will have apositive impact on theenvironment.”The District accepts

Local family purchases... continued from front pageHaving also owned
Joe’s Diner at theJunction of U.S. 24and SR 13 for the pastfour years, theMillers have experi-ence serving the pub-lic. “We’re both people
oriented and reallyenjoy working withthe public,” Dianesaid of the experi-ence gained by own-ing Joe’s Diner. Oneof the first things weheard when webought The Workswas that we weregoing to close downJoe’s Diner and thatis not the case at all.We are thrilled toown both places andbe in the communi-ty.”As was the case
with previous own-ership, the Millerssaid The Works willcontinue to be activein the community. “Cheryl had
always contributedto the Coats for Kidsand we’re going tokeep doing that,”Diane said. “TheWorks has alwaysbeen a communitydriven business andwe’re going to keep itthat way.”Although the busi-
ness will remainlargely the same, theMillers hope toattract birthday par-ties and other eventsto The Works. Onecommon misconcep-tion Diane hasnoticed to this pointis centered aroundthe café’s hours.“We’re open year-
round,” Dianeexplained. “Some ofthe customers didn’trealize we were openthroughout the win-ter. We sell food
along with ice creamall year long.”As to who is
responsible forwhich business,Diane said, “Rightnow we’re bothworking at both of
the businesses. Eachbusiness has a goodcore base of cus-tomers and we enjoyworking at bothplaces.”Winter hours at
The Works are
Monday throughFriday, 11 a.m. – 9p.m., and Saturdayand Sunday, noon – 9p.m. Summer hourswill become avail-able in March.

There may be nosuch thing as the“normal” growingconditions of old thatmany corn farmershave been longing forafter enduringextreme weather inrecent years, aPurdue Extensionagronomist says.Instead, Bob
Nielsen suggestedthat corn growersshould look at a vari-ety of managementtechniques to givecrops the best chanceat success - regardlessof the weather.“Many of us have a
nostalgic memory ofgrowing seasonswhere the cropsemerged quickly,grew vigorously anduniformly, pollinatedsuccessfully, filled outgrain completely, andstood strong until har-vested in the warm,sunny days of earlyfall,” Nielsen said.“I would suggest
that maybe we haveall been delusionalwith our nostalgiaand that perhaps amore accurate defini-tion of a ‘normal’growing season is onethat involves anunpredictable num-ber of unpredictableextreme weatherevents, each occur-ring unpredictablywith unpredictableseverity.”The first way farm-
ers can deal withuncertainty is to iden-
tify what influencesyield - both positiveand negative - andmanage it according-ly.Often, weather
stress is compoundedby other yield-influ-encing factors, orYIFs, so identifyingand managing themcan help growers“stress-proof ” theircropping systems,Nielsen said.“The process of
identifying the yield-influencing factorsthat are important tospecific fields is noteasy,” he said. “Theymay occur every yearin a given field, orthey may not. Theyoften interact withother factors to influ-ence yield. They ofteninteract with soil typeand texture anddrainage conditions.And yield-influencingfactors almost alwaysinteract with weatherconditions.”Because there are
so many possible YIFc o m b i n a t i o n s ,Nielsen said corngrowers should striveto keep notes on whathappens to a crop dur-ing an entire growingseason. They also candraw upon their ownexperiences from aparticular field.He also suggested
taking advantage ofavailable resources,such as crop inputretailers, crop con-sultants and
Extension profession-als.“The bottom line is
get out into yourfields during thegrowing season, iden-tify problem areasearly while evidenceis still there to aiddiagnostics and figureout what’s going onwith your crops,”Nielsen said.Some key consider-
ations for farmersinclude:- Field drainage:
Poorly drained soilscan hinder the estab-lishment of vigorouscorn stands by chal-lenging the uniformi-ty of roots and plantd e v e l o p m e n t .Improving tile or sur-face drainage reducesthe risks of pondingor soggy soils, denitri-fication and soil com-paction.- Soil erosion con-
trol and soil moistureconservation: In areasof rolling hills withhigh risks of soil ero-sion and reduced abil-ity to retain soil mois-ture, Nielsen said it isimportant to mini-mize water runoffand maximize soilmoisture retention.Some techniquesinclude no-till orreduced tillage, strip-cropping, contourfarming, terraces andother water controlstructures, and falland winter covercrops.- Hybrid selection:
“The key challenge isto identify hybridsthat not only havegood yield potentialbut that also tolerate awide range of grow-ing conditions,”Nielsen said. “Thebest way to accom-plish this is to evalu-ate hybrid perform-ance across a lot oflocations. Universitytrials are good for thisexercise.”- Nitrogen manage-
ment: Because theEastern Corn Belt haspoorly drained soils,ample rainfall and therisk of nitrogen loss
by either denitrifica-tion or leaching,growers need to payspecial attention tonitrogen manage-ment. According toNielsen, best manage-ment practicesinclude avoiding fallapplications, avoidingsurface application ofurea-based fertilizerswithout incorpora-tion, and adopting sid-edress nitrogen appli-cation programswhere practical.- Disease
Management: Warm,humid summerweather conditions in
the Eastern Corn Beltare ideal for the devel-opment of many corndiseases, such as grayleaf spot and north-ern corn leaf blight.The best ways to man-age these diseases areby selecting hybridsfor strong diseaseresistance character-istics, avoiding con-tinuous corn-crop-ping systems, avoid-ing no-till croppingsystems and responsi-bly using foliar fungi-cides.Finally, Nielsen
said, producers needto “remember it ain’t
rocket science.” “We’re talking
about a lot of com-mon-sense agronomicprinciples that worktogether to minimizethe usual crop stress-es that occur everyyear and allow thecrop to better tolerateuncontrollable weath-er stresses,” he said.For Nielsen’s com-

HELLO EVERY-BODY, I just got backfrom visiting mymom, for a few weeksin Florida, had a greattime but now I’m backto report on what’shappening inLaketon. Hope all hada Merry Christmasand a great start to anew year.
ON MARCH 31,1925, the little hamletaccustomed to apeaceful existencesuddenly became ahot bed of activity. Anunusual car was seencruising aroundLaketon, especiallythe bank. At 9 a.m., aFord Touring carpulled up out front ofthe bank. Two youngmen got out and loot-ed the bank of$1,969.31. One of themen put a gun in theface of E.L. Bright,the head cashier, andordered him and Mrs.Violet Ogden to puttheir hands up. Theyquickly sped awayafter emptying thebank. Robert Fulton,S.A. Pence and R.Stranglin jumped intoa car and gave pursuitbut soon lost them.The bank carried
insurance, but detec-tives tried to find whohad committed therobbery. Manythought that it wasHarry Pierpontand/or his brother,
Fred. Harry wasstopped by police in asmall town severalcounties away afterpaying for his mealwith $10 in quarters.Over $100 dollars inquarters had beentaken from the bank.However, Bright andOgden could not iden-tify him or his broth-er. Later, HarryPierport took into hisgang a young mancalled John Dillingerand gave him histraining in bank rob-bery. (From LAKE-TON by RonWoodward)
TORNADO SIRENUPDATE: TheLaketon/PleasantT o w n s h i pAssociation is pleasedto announce that thetornado siren waschecked out by J. & K.Communication Inc.They found that thesiren board neededrepaired. It has beenfixed and tested by thetechnician. The firstsiren alarm test willbe Feb. 7 around 3p.m., and will be thefirst Tuesday of themonth thereafter. I’dlike to thank BillProffitt for keeping onthis and getting thejob done.

It isvery important forthose of you whohaven’t sent in yoursurvey to please do so.The more surveyssent in will help indetermining the costto all. The possiblelocation of the sewerplant was at the refin-ery, but some contro-versy over that loca-tion has led to otherpossible locationsfrom the Engineering

The Heritage DaysSteering Committeehas named the themefor the 2012 HeritageDays festivities as“Unlocking theCanal”. Festivitiesc e l e b r a t i n gHuntington’s heritagewill be held at loca-tions throughout thecommunity June 20through June 24.This year’s theme
will allow partici-pants in the annualHeritage Days Paradeand other activities todepict the Wabashand Erie Canal, whichwas a part ofHuntington from 1835to 1873, as their floator activity theme.This part ofHuntington’s historywill give HeritageDays participants theopportunity to get toknow a little moreabout the building ofthe canal and the set-tlers it brought to thearea. The theme ispart of an ongoingeffort to “explore”Huntington’s her-itage.Elias Murray,
nephew of SamuelHuntington (a con-gressman fromConnecticut, whosigned the UnitedStates Constitutionand who Huntingtonis named for), dug thefirst shovelful of dirtfor the Wabash andErie Canal on Feb. 22,1832. GeorgeWashington’s birth-day was chosen forthe event as he wasseen as the foremostpromoter ofAmerican canals inthat day.The first 25-mile
section of the Wabash
and Erie Canal to becompleted ran fromFort Wayne toHuntington. The firstcanal boat, Indiana,docked in Huntingtonat Burke’s Lock onJuly 3, 1835, and trans-ported passengers toFort Wayne and back.The next day, on July4, the canal was offi-cially open for traffic.Many more canal
boats were construct-ed and the canalopened theHuntington area forsettlement by thosefrom all over thecountry. Canal prop-erties were main-tained, crops andgoods were transport-ed and travelers takencare of. The town ofRoanoke became aprominent shippingpoint and was theprincipal tradingplace between FortWayne and Wabash.The Wabash and ErieCanal eventually con-nected the area to theGreat Lakes region onone end andEvansville on theother. From the GreatLakes region canalsconnected our area tothe east coast.As the canal opened
the Huntington areato settlement bywhites, it also endedthe era of MiamiIndian domination.Traveling on packetsof the Indiana CanalCompany, and escort-ed by soldiers, theMiami tribe wasmoved west in 1846.Only a few familiesremained in the area.By 1856, the rail-
road was becoming apresence the canalcould not compete

LONGSHOT GAME ROOM & GRILL opened for business on Jan. 24.Owners Brian and Shirley Powell describe the business as “a restaurantwith pool tables – not a typical pool hall.” (photo by Shaun Tilghman)
Now open: The Longshot Game Room & Grillby Shaun Tilghmanfeatures@nmpaper.comThe Longshot Game
Room & Grill, locatedin the old EaglesLodge building at 400Beckley St., NorthManchester, openedfor business on Jan.24. Owners Brian andShirley Powell haveput a lot of work intogetting the buildingready for customers,and the biggest pointthey want to stress isthat it is a restaurantwith pool tables - notthe typical pool hall.“Manchester has
never really seen any-thing like this, sowe’re just hoping tooffer a different expe-rience,” said Brian. “Ihope Manchester
embraces it.”“I really just want-
ed to combine two ofmy favorite things,which are cookingand playing pool,” hecontinued. “I own theWabash NAPA poolleague, so that’s kindof how I got started inthat area. My experi-ence in cookingcomes from my grand-ma teaching me at ayoung age. I learned alot from my grandmaand then just pickedup even more on myown. I’ve also hired acook (Bill Brown) whohas a real passion forcooking, so we’re try-ing to make things dif-ferent than you wouldfind anywhere else.”The restaurant will
offer weekend buffets,breakfast buffets onSaturday mornings,and different dinnerspecials each night.There will be a regu-lar lunch menu withitems that can beordered all day, butthe dinners are goingto be specials thatconstantly change.“So if you come in ona Tuesday one week,and then you comeback the nextTuesday, everythingis going to be differ-ent,” Brian explained.“To me, it’s more of
a home-cooked type ofmenu that offersmeals like you’d get athome,” he added, “if Ihad to say anythingmore than that I guessit’s probably moresouthern than any-thing. We’re going tooffer some good hand-made hamburgers, aswell as what I call theDog Bar, which isgoing to have grilledhot dogs and sausagesthat are served plain,but we’ll have a buffetof toppings - so it’smade your way. We’llalso have tenderloins,steaks, and realmashed potatoes.”The restaurant has
seating for approxi-mately 150, with afamily-style diningarea on one side ofthe building, whichhas doors that can beclosed to separate thatsection from the restof the building. Onthe opposite side ofthe building there areeight pool tables andsome video games,along with severaltables for that section.Longshot will be
alcohol-free, andwhile there are desig-nated non-smokingareas for dining, thereis smoking allowedcertain sections ofthe building. “Unfortunately, in
the pool table area Iam allowing smokingor else I will lose allmy pool players, but Ihave installed asmoke eater,” Brianstated.According to Brian,
when they firsthatched the idea forthe business theywere considering apool hall more thananything, but thereactions they gotfrom the communityled them to pursue therestaurant aspectmore.“Manchester has a
lot of pool players,and I just want a placewhere they can comeplay without being inthe typical pool hallenvironment,” headded. “But, I alsowant that environ-ment where kids cancome in to learn howto play and practice. Ihope to get some tour-naments going andsome league play, andI’d even like to hostsome professionalswho do demonstra-tions, trick shots, etc.“We just want to
make sure we offer aclean, safe environ-ment. We want tomake sure that allages can play pool, aslong as they’re able toplay. But, if it comesdown to it, and therestaurant is themainstay, I’ll take thepool tables out or dowhatever it takes.”Brian went on to
say that they are real-ly just hoping to beinvolved with thecommunity on severallevels.“We do plan on hav-
ing bands andkaraoke in the future,because there isnowhere for kids andteenagers to go and dothat stuff aroundhere,” he continued,“we do want to caterto the needs of the
painting, cleaningand getting every-thing up-to-code withthe HealthDepartment. I’ve alsoinstalled two new fur-naces, because nei-ther of the ones inhere before workedlike they were sup-posed to. We plan ondoing more renova-tion on the outside inthe future, includinggetting the buildingpainted, doing thelandscaping, andprobably getting anew sign.“I would just like to
recognize PostonPlumbing Service andJaneway HandymanService for the workthey did in helping get
the building ready. Aswell as JennyRichardson, whopainted a couple ofnice murals to helpbrighten the placeup.”Brian concluded by
saying that they willeventually have aroom available to rentout for banquets.Also, Shirley will usea room in the buildingto offer a small,indoor flea market onSaturday mornings.The Longshot Game
Room & Grill is openTuesday-Friday, 11a.m. to 10:30 p.m.,Saturday, 7 a.m. to10:30 p.m., andSunday, noon to 7 p.m.

We’re plan-ning to offer a lot ofthings for kids to doaround the holidays,and in the summerwe’re hoping to uti-lize some of our spaceoutside - maybe evenget some activitiesgoing during FunFest.We also want to bringin some college stu-dents so we’re work-ing on some specialswe can do for them ifthey show their stu-dent ID.”Brian, Shirley and
their five employeesused the first few daysof being open as a softopening in prepara-tion for the GrandOpening with theChamber ofCommerce on Jan. 27.“I wanted to be in
here well beforeThanksgiving, but inhaving to get the prop-erty rezoned fromindustrial to commer-cial we didn’t actuallytake possession untilabout two weeksbefore that,” Brianexplained. “We thenspent over six weeks

Wabash Middle Schoolreleases honor roll
Dear editor,Voters need to stand
up and vote loud thisyear. In 2010, a smallpercentage of votersfueled by a dire econ-omy and the teaparty, elected hugeRepublican majori-ties, in Indiana andnationwide. Theresult being the GOPgoing to war with themiddle class. Right
to work is nothingmore than anattempt to break upunions. If you look atstats from right towork states, wagesare less than that ofHoosiers. If theRepublican Partygets their way, andelects Mike Pence gov-ernor, and are able tokeep control of bothhouses, I doubt there
will even be a middleclass left. Before youvote, do your home-work. The RepublicanParty does not havethe interest of themiddle class or poorin mind. Stop the rad-ical republicans’agenda in makingIndiana and the U.S.A. an oligarchy.

Beatrice Snavely, ofNorth Manchester, istrying to raise enoughmoney to cover thecosts of her trip toAustralia after beingselected to participatein the People toPeople StudentA m b a s s a d o rProgram.According to the
organization’s web-site (www.people-topeople.com), Peopleto People AmbassadorPrograms offerextraordinary, life-changing educationaltravel opportunitiesfor students, educa-tors, and profession-als. We bridge cultur-al and political bor-ders through educa-tion and exchange,making the world abetter place for futuregenerations.Beatrice’s mother,
Nancy Snavely, said,“When we first got theletter, it explainedwhat the organizationis and how it wasfounded by PresidentDwight Eisenhowerin 1956 to promotepeace through learn-ing other cultures andallowing people fromaround the world toget to know eachother.” The program
Beatrice was selectedfor is called Exploring
Australia. It involvesfifth and sixth gradestudents engaging infun and educationalactivities in Australiafrom July 14-28. “I was actually cho-
sen by Robin Messer,one of my fifth gradeteachers,” Beatriceexplained. “Once Iheard my mom readthe letter we got in themail, I immediatelywanted to do it,because I’ve alwayswanted to go toAustralia - it’s alwaysbeen a dream of mineand now I have thechance to go.”Nancy added,
“”Usually a teacherhas already been inthe program, sothey’ve had experi-ence somehowthrough the program,and each teacher getsto recommend a child.A lot of children arerecommended, butnot all will go for vari-ous reasons. The costis roughly $7,000 andwe’re trying to raiseas much as we can. Ifwe could get to $5,000,that would take a lotof pressure off.” Beatrice stated that
she would have totake four flights to getto her destination andthen three moreflights withinAustralia, which iswhy she needs to raiseso much in order to beable to go. One indi-
vidual donated a 1997Chrysler LHS, withapproximately 145,000miles, for the familyto sell in order toraise money.“All the proceeds
raised from ourfundraisers will gotoward her trip,”Nancy said. “We’regoing to have a garagesale, which we needdonations for, andduring the garage salethere will be a bakesale, with those dona-tions coming from ourchurch (WabashChurch of theBrethren). We alreadyhave two peoplebringing us truck-loads of stuff for thegarage sale.”They’re also doing
a phone-raiser, andhave several dropboxes set up to take allused cell phones,PDAs, and smallprinter ink car-tridges.“The drop boxes are
located at the AT&Tstore, Zook’s Café,Harting Furnitureand Wabash Churchof the Brethren,”Beatrice added. “Evenif the phones don’twork, we’re recyclingthem to stay safe - onecell phone can polluteup to 35,000 gallons ofwater! But, we getpaid cash for the goodones, and in the firsttwo weeks wereceived 22 phones.”
Manchester student raising money for educational trip to AustraliaRight now, Beatrice
is the only one fromNorth Manchesterplanning to go toAustralia, but thereare three studentsfrom Wabash going.According to the
website, the partici-pants will gain spe-cial insight intomarine biology, thehistory of Sydney’sfirst settlements, zool-ogy and botany, WorldHeritage sites, andAboriginal culture.Some of the otheractivities will include:- Observe the fragile
ecosystem of theGreat Barrier Reef.Snorkel its sparklingwaters with instruc-tion from yourmarine biologist.- Walk through an
underwater tunnelwhere you can safelycome face-to-face withhuge sharks.
- Go on a guidedexploration and seesites such as SouthBank, the Town Hallsquare, and the botan-ical gardens.- Experience the
Australian educationsystem at aQueensland school(or, if school is on hol-iday, spend the day atthe beach with SurfLife Saving School).- Swim in a stun-
ning water facilitywhile being observedby resident peacocksand kangaroos.- Witness astonish-
ing native wildlife,ranging from emus towallabies, koalas tocrocodiles.“I’m most excited
about seeing thenative wildlife,”Beatrice said, “I lovelearning about ani-mals. I’m also reallyexcited to go to the

Great Barrier Reef.”In preparation for
the trip, Nancy saidthey have been attend-ing monthly meetingswhere the students,and the adults, can getto know each other.However, she alsostated that if theycouldn’t raise themoney by the due date- in late April or earlyMay - Beatrice would-n’t be able to go.“We’ve already
raised $1,480 at thispoint,” Nancy contin-ued. “We really justwant to thank every-body who has helpedus so far, and we hope
it continues.”Beatrice concluded,
“I love that we havealready earned somuch - I feel like peo-ple really want to helpme. It’s a great feelingto know people careso much about me andabout my education.”For more informa-
tion about the StudentA m b a s s a d o rProgram, go towww.peopletopeople.com.To learn more
