Second annual Salute to Agriculture event March 8, 2012 • 6:30 p.m.

by Brent SwanOn Feb. 17, Wabash

County Chamber ofCommerce presidentKimberly Pinkertonalong with AgCommittee ChairmanHoward Halderman,announced the selec-tion of BowmanFarms as the 2012Wabash County FarmFamily of the Year.The farm, currently

operated by brothersKevin and DanBowman, consists ofrow crop farmingencompassing over3,500 acres of eachsoybeans and corn. The farm was start-

ed in 1890 by RileyBowman, Kevin andDan’s great-grandfa-ther, who moved tothe Wabash area witha mud boat. Riley’s

grandson, Charles,took over at the age of24 after his father,Walter, passed awayunexpectedly in 1951.Charles and his

wife, Norma Jean,Kevin and Dan’s par-ents, have lived inRiley’s house for thepast 62 years.Over that time,

Bowman Farms hasgrown from its mod-est beginning to theversatile business itis today. Despite mar-ket swings through-out years past,Bowman Farms hasremained strong dueto a forward-lookingbusiness concept.“One of our

strengths, and I thinkit comes from ourfather, is that we don’tlook at just today or

even five years out,but maybe even 20years out,” Kevinsaid. “We try to makedecisions that affectus not only today, butin the long run aswell.”The long run for

Bowman Farmsincludes the possibili-ty a new generation ofBowmans at the helm,an idea that has bothKevin and Dan proud.Kevin’s sons, Kyle andEvan, have bothjoined the farm, whileDan’s son, Michael, ajunior at SouthwoodHigh School, will havethe same opportunity.“Seeing that new

generation come inand choosing to farmhas, in a sense, re-energized my interestas well. It’s theirchoice and this is justone opportunity theyhave; but to see themchoose to come backhas been fulfilling,”Kevin said.In order to preserve

the opportunity forthe future generation

of Bowmans, the elderBowmans have imple-mented sound conser-vation practices, oneof the nominating cri-teria set forth by theChamber’s agricul-ture committee.“I think sometimes

there’s a misconcep-tion that we’re lookedat more industrially –that we’re going totake something, use itfor a short period oftime and then leave itlike that,” Kevinexplained. “Some ofthe ground we farmhas been in the familyname for over a hun-dred years now. It’svery important wetake that long-termapproach with thenext generation get-ting ready to come onboard.”“The way we treat

the ground directlyimpacts our income,so as farmers youhave to recognize theimportance of properland conservation,”Dan said.Two methods of

conservation current-ly utilized by theBowmans is the use ofstrategically placedwaterways and ter-races. “Lately I’ve become

fond of terracing, andwe try to utilize localtechnical assistancefrom the NRCSoffice,” Kevin said.“ R e l a t i o n s h i p sbetween landownersand us as farmers areprobably more impor-tant now than theyever have been.”As land values have

increased, more pres-sure has been put onlarge farming opera-tions to not only findrentable ground, butalso be able to keepexisting ground with-in their farm; some-thing the Bowmanshave remained cog-nizant of. “We’ve tried to

build a decent owner-ship base so we canplan further down theroad and not so muchon a year to yearbasis,” Kevin said of

their farmland. “Theground we do rent, wetry to manage that aswell as we do our own.Being a good stewardof the land is the bestway to keep thoserelationships solid.”In recognition of

their efforts, BowmanFarms were honoredby the IndianaNatural ResourcesConservation Service(NRCS) as the 2003Conservation Farmerof the Year. In addition to the

NRCS honor, Kevinhas been a member ofthe MSD of WabashCounty School Board,and currently servesas president.Dan has served on

the Wabash CountyFarm Service AgencyCounty Committee,and currently servesas chairman. Modest by nature,

Kevin admitted atfirst he was hesitantto accept the FarmFamily of the YearAward. “We were a little

hesitant at first aboutthe Farm Family ofthe Year Award,”Kevin explained. “Forthem to think of youand be named a recip-ient is quite an honor.I appreciate them forhelping to promoteagriculture as awhole.” “The Farm Family

of the Year is anhonor to us all,” Dansaid. “To be selectedby leaders of the com-munity for an awardlike this is somethingwe certainly appreci-ate.”According to the

Bowmans, a large por-tion of their successstems from the helpthey have employedover the years.“We feel that we are

extremely fortunateto have the staff thatwe have had over thepast 10-15 years,”Kevin explained.“Our full-timeemployees, J.P. andChad Mattern, havebeen an important

Foreigner is univer-

sally hailed as one ofthe most popular rockacts in the world,racking up scores ofhits, multi-platinumalbums, and sold outconcerts over its near-ly four decade career.Foreigner 4 spentmore weeks on theBillboard chart at #1than any album byAC/DC, Led Zeppelin,U2, The Who or TheRolling Stones, and

any artist in AtlanticRecords’ 60-year his-tory. The band is con-sistently in the Top 15at Classic Rock Radio.Their hit single,

“Waiting For A GirlLike You”, was #2 onthe singles chart for atotal of 14 weeks,which is a record inthe history ofBillboard magazine. Ithelped driveForeigner to #49 onBillboard’s Hot 100 AllTime Top ArtistsChart. To put that inperspective, TheEagles are #54,Fleetwood Mac are#73 and Aerosmithare #90.The Feels Like the

First Time 2012 Tourwill feature hits like“Urgent,” “Juke BoxHero,” “I Want ToKnow What Love Is,”“Feels Like The FirstTime,” “Cold As Ice,”“Hot Blooded,” and“Waiting For A GirlLike You,” performedby Kelly Hansen, JeffPilson, Bruce Watson,Tom Gimbel, MichaelBluestein, and MarkShulman.“Teresa Galley first

approached me when

she was asked aboutwho might be able tosing with them,” saidWabash High SchoolChoir Director SusanKeefer. “We jumpedon the opportunity, ofcourse!”The choir was told

to listen toForeigner’s CD of thesong they were set toperform. Keefer alsolocated YouTubevideos of similar per-formances wherehigh school choirsperformed with thegroup.“Students like this

type of music andmany of them knewthe song already. Theylike a lot of the musicthat has been‘remixed’ from for-mer decades,” Keefersaid.The students, who

assembled on Feb. 13for an eveningrehearsal, agreedthat they look for-ward to the perform-ance.“I look forward to

the excitement of themoment when theywill enter onto thestage with the groupand sing with them,”

Keefer said. “It willbe a ‘WOW!’moment.”Other students of

Keefer’s had a simi-lar opportunity a fewyears ago when theyperformed onstagewith Kenny Rogers.“We did some

backup vocals andhad to work hard tolearn the arrange-ment of music thatwas sent to us. Thisshow is much moreinformal,” she said.In the lobby, before

and after the con-cert, the choir stu-dents will be sellingForeigner CDs andraffle tickets to winan autographed gui-tar from the group. Aportion of the pro-ceeds from thesesales will benefit theHoneywell Center’sE d u c a t i o n a lOutreach Program,which providesunique learningexperiences for stu-dents at low or nocost.“The Honeywell

Center and theirOutreach Programhas done a great jobof trying to give us

experiences that wecould never have in a‘regular’ classroom,”Keefer said.Tickets to the Feb.

part of the success ofour operation.”In keeping a steady

core of employees,the Bowmans havebeen able to create amore in-house solu-tion to repair andconstruction proj-ects.“When we first got

going, we hiredthings done,” Danexplained. “Now wecan see that we liketo have the control ofthe product and havelearned as we havegone. Each time you

complete a projectyou get bolder, andthat’s evident withthe grain storageand handling projectwe’ve completedover the past sixyears.”“The biggest bene-

fit we get from thatkind of work is thatwe gain a betterunderstanding ofhow it functions,”Kevin said. “Sincewe did the work, weknow how it worksand how to betterrepair it if it

requires additionalwork down the road.We’ve found thatsometimes you getbetter results if youtake ownership ofit.”That feeling of

ownership has keptthings in perspectivefor the Bowmans.“Just last week mydad shared with usthe last time heworked with hisfather was onValentine’s Day in1951,” Dan recalled.“He wanted to go

home early that dayto look at a 7 inch tel-evision his sister hadjust purchased. Hisdad didn’t want toquit early, so he left,and later that nighthis dad had a heartattack. He never sawhim again. The oldbarn where theyworked that last daytogether was justtorn down last year.”The Bowmans also

play an active role atchurch, as Dan,Kevin and Kyleattend College

Wesleyan Church,where Dan serves asa trustee. Evan wasone of the origina-tors of New JourneyCommunity Church,which meets at theHoneywell Center.“We’ve been fortu-

nate enough over theyears to always beable to take at leastSunday off andthat’s somethingDan and I have madean effort to do,”Kevin said. “That’sjust one way we can

honor the Lord. Inthe agricultural pro-duction area youhave to realize youdon’t have the ulti-mate control overoutcome. There’s anelement of faith youhave to incorporateinto practicallyeverything you dofarm-related. Evenwith the best-laidplans, you still haveto take a step backand realize ultimate-ly you don’t havecontrol of the out-

come.”“You have to lean

upon the Lord for theoutcome,” Dan said.“When you can’t seethe light at the end,you have to trust thathe’s going to providefor you, and he hasfor us. We havelearned throughmany difficult situa-tions in farming thatwe can trust the Lordand that gives us thestrength to face thechallenges of tomor-row.”

OVER 30 COVERS TO CHOOSE FROM INCLUDING LEATHER!Since 1933 - 79 Years Experience

Dallas L.Winchester SeniorCenter, Wabash, hasreceived an awardfrom The NationalCouncil on Aging(NCOA) for itsC o m m u n i t yCupboard FoodPantry program. Theaward was presentedas part of NCOA’sNational Institute ofSenior Centers’ 2011Programs ofExcellence.The Community

Cupboard FoodPantry programmeets a dual need inWabash County. Thefirst need is for sup-plemental food for agrowing number offamilies in WabashCounty. To achievethis the program,located in the DallasL. Winchester SeniorCenter, distributesgovernment com-modities using localcontributions for thelocal matching por-tion and closely part-ners with SecondHarvest Food Bank ofEast Central Indiana

to make the most ofavailable regional,state and federalresources. In doingso, the CommunityCupboard FoodPantry’s forty volun-teers distributed247,556 pounds of foodat an average ofeleven cents perpound, to help combathunger insecurity inWabash County for600 to 700 householdsper month. A total of4,989 unduplicatedpeople of all agesreceived food from theincome-based pantryin 2011. Over the lastnine years, the pantryprogram has grownfrom serving 50 to 75households permonth to close to 700per month. The second need

that the pantry pro-gram meets is for pur-poseful volunteeropportunities, whichmake the most of thetime and talents ofretirees who want togive of themselves intheir retirementyears. This senior

center programenables senior volun-teers to empower vul-nerable individuals ofall ages to live health-ier lives. TheC o m m u n i t yCupboard has fortyvolunteers who doeverything fromordering the food, tostocking the pantryshelves, to warehousereceiving to assistingpantry clients and ispart of an extensivevolunteer programwhich involved 210volunteers in 2011 in avariety of self-direct-ed senior leadershipteams of the Dallas L.Winchester SeniorCenter. The Dallas L.

ored to be recognizedwith this Program ofExcellence Award2011 Leadership, CivicEngagement andC o m m u n i t yDevelopment. Someseniors want to playeuchre while othersprefer to volunteer.We see it as a trendthat younger retireesseek opportunities touse their lifetime ofexperience to help

others. The Dallas L.Winchester SeniorCenter gives them anopportunity to do so,often creating a newvolunteer team tomeet a local need seenby the seniors them-selves,” said BeverlyFerry, CEO of LivingWell in WabashCounty CoA, Inc.,which operates theDallas L. Winchester

Crop pests may bemore abundant inIndiana farm fieldsthis spring because ofwhat continues to be amild winter.Some species of

insects and weedsmay have benefitedfrom the warmer-than-normal tempera-tures and lack ofsnowfall in the state,two Purdue Extensionspecialists say.“We have two

groups of insects inIndiana - those thatmigrate here andthose that overwinterhere,” said entomolo-gist ChristianKrupke. “Those thatoverwinter here asadults, above or closeto ground level, havehad a particularlyfavorable winter sofar.”Some of those

insects are corn fleabeetles, alfalfa wee-vils and bean leaf bee-tles.“Last fall, we had

our highest popula-tion of bean leaf bee-tle in quite some time.Because there shouldbe good overwinter-ing survival, I thinkwe could see highspring populationsthis year, as well,”Krupke said.

The good news forfarmers is that virtu-ally all corn and mostsoybean seed is treat-ed with insecticide, soany protection avail-able is already on theseed. According toKrupke, that meansthere is little more forgrowers to do at thispoint.Because seed treat-

ments vary in theamount of protectionthey provide againstdifferent pests,Krupke said produc-ers need to keep aneye on their crops asthe growing seasonprogresses and applyany necessary foliarinsecticide treat-ments if feeding issevere.Weeds, on the other

hand, could be a morevisible problem forgrain farmers thisspring. Indiana hashad enough warmdays for winter annu-als to germinate, saidweed scientist BillJohnson. Althoughthose weeds go dor-mant in below-freez-ing temperatures,warm weather pro-motes their growth.“When winter

annuals have had a lotof growth, soils dryand warm more slow-

ly in the springbecause of the weedcover,” Johnson said.“It’s much harder forfarmers to getsprayers out for burn-down treatments oncold, wet soils.”A delay in burn-

down can lead to adelay in planting, butspraying on wet soilscan result in ruts. Ifweeds aren’t treatedearly enough in thespring, they maybecome too large tocontrol with herbi-cides.Some of the weeds

most likely to causeproblems are henbit,chickweed, purpledeadnettle, marestail,annual bluegrass,Carolina foxtail anddowny brome.“Growers need to

assess weed size, andif the fields are dryenough in March,they need to get burn-down treatments andresidual herbicideson their fields earlierthan normal,”Johnson said.He recommended

glyphosate- org ramoxone - ba s edburndown treatmentswith residual herbi-cides added to them.As planting season

We’ve been asked.......“Why should I prefund my funeral if I already have life insurance?”A fully-funded, advance funeral plan is an important component to any estate plan-as important as a will or life insurance. Each serves a distinct purpose.

Life insurance proceeds are intended to cover some of your survivors’ living expenses.A fully-funded advance funeral plan not only covers the expenses associated with your death,it also grows over time to cover inflation.

It's been so long since anyone has done that.It felt so good to talk about you,to share my memories of you,

to simply say your name out loud.She asked me if I minded talking about

what happened to you — or would it be too painful to speak of it.

I told her I think of it every dayand speaking about it helps me to release

the tormented thoughts whirling around in my head.She said she never realized the pain

would last this long.She apologized for not asking sooner.

I told her, "Thanks for asking."I don't know if it was curiosityor concern that made her ask,

But told her, "Please do it again sometime — soon."

I DON’T KNOW IFYOU’VE NOTICED,but the days are get-ting longer. So far, thiswinter hasn’t been toobad but I’m so readyfor spring, and anyindication that it’scoming I’ll take.MONSTER OR

MYTH? There aremany strange tales tobe found in WabashCounty: ghostly lightsnear the prairie, theblack panther of theSalamonie and theghosts of Pucker-

brush. During the1880’s and 90’s, therewere many snake sto-ries. The most curi-ous story occurrednear Laketon, first in1880 and again in 1885.Fifty people were fish-ing and picnicking onthe banks of RoundLake on a pleasantday in August of 1880.At first, a dark objectwas spotted baskingitself in the sun,apparently uncon-scious. The noise cre-ated by the crowdfrightened the crea-ture and it took flight.The head of the mon-ster was the size of aqueensware crateonly much larger. Ithad a hooked bill notless than 10 feet long.It’s eyes, oval and asea green color, wereas large as a meatplatter. It had threelegs on either side,shaped like the legs ofa crocodile, with terri-ble claws. It had wings

like a bat, fully 50 feetlong according to theeyewitnesses. Its bodywas encircled withyellow and blackbands a foot in width.Boys in the crowdamused themselvesby firing revolversand shotguns at ituntil it becameenraged. It gave oneshrill whistle, spreadits ponderous wingsand with a few oscu-lating motions raisedhigh above the tree-tops. It circled aroundthe lake a few timesthen plunged to itsbottom with a terriblenoise. One witness, aMr. John Thompson,was fortunate secur-ing a few outlines byactual measurements:length from tip to tip,190 feet; five feet, twoinches between theeyes; forty-five feetgirth. Believe it ornot, it was thought atthe time that the mon-ster of Laketon trav-

eled from one lake toanother through sub-terranean passages,which connected thelakes of northernIndiana. The Laketonmonster has not beenseen in this century. Ishe myth? Or is he justhibernating tillwarmer weather. (byRon Woodward)THE LIONS CLUB

ofwabash.comOn March 5,

Wabash ChiropracticCenter, 508 N. WabashSt., Wabash, will wel-come MassageTherapist StephanieOgan to the staff.Ogan will offer 15- and30-minute massagesthat will coincidewith patients’ adjust-ment appointments.“They can come in

the day before theyget an adjustment orwe can schedule it forright before theymove on to Dr. Dave sothey can get a mas-sage on that area thatthey are really havingtrouble with,” Ogansaid.Ogan says that

receiving a massageprior to being adjust-ed will help maxi-mize the benefits ofthe adjustment.“If helps to relax

the muscles, whichwould in turn helpyou have a betteradjustment. It mayalso help youradjustment lastlonger,” she said. Shewent on to say thatthe massage couldhelp the patientachieve full range ofmotion, which wouldallow the chiroprac-tor to perform a bet-ter adjustment.Ogan first fell in

love with massagetherapy as a client.After several years ofpatronage, her mas-

sage therapist sug-gested that sheattend school formassage therapy.Ogan accepted theadvice and attendedAlexandria School ofS c i e n t i f i cT h e r a p e u t i cMassage until shegraduated in 2008.“I had always

wanted to do some-thing that’s helpfulto people. I like to bearound people, thisis a way that you canhelp them get bet-ter,” she said.Since her gradua-

tion fromAlexandria, Oganhas been employed atUptown Styles. InNovember 2011, shetransitioned to prac-

ticing massage ther-apy full-time. Oganwill remain atUptown Styles on apart-time basis. Theservices that Oganprovides at WabashChiropractic will dif-fer slightly from herservices at UptownStyle.“At Uptown, you do

get people that comein there because theyare hurting, but it’smore of a way to treatyourself or treatsomeone, whereas atWabash Chiropractic,we are focusing main-ly on if you have a cer-tain area that’s both-ering you and youneed to focus on howto make that better.This is working mas-

sage into more of themedical field thanthere,” she said.At Wabash

Chiropractic, Ogan’s15- or 30-minute mas-sages that are sched-uled in conjunctionwith an adjustmentmay be billed to thepatient’s insurancecompany.“If they are a regu-

lar client of Dr. Dave’sand he feels it will bebeneficial, he can rec-ommend them to meand we can bill it totheir insurance. It’snice that insurancecompanies are finallysaying ‘Hey, this isbeneficial and we cantake care of some ofthis cost for them,”she said.

Ogan took extratraining atAlexandria in pfrim-mer therapy, which isa deep tissue massagetechnique that hasproven helpful toarthritis patients,fibromyalgia patientsand others. At somepoint, she and Dr.Frischman plan toexpand her servicesto include triggerpoint therapy as well.“Hopefully we can

continue to offer moreto come,” she said.Ogan is a Wabash

native. Her husband,Kevin, is employed atFord Meter Box, andthey have a two-year-old son. Ogan will still be

available at Uptown

Style on Wednesdays,Thursdays andSaturdays. She will beat WabashChiropractic onMondays, Tuesdaysand Fridays. To bookan appointment withher at WabashChiropractic, call 260-563-8476.

Wabash Chiropractic Center welcomes massage therapist

Wabash County isproud of its culturalheritage. That is evi-dent through the

numerous eventsand festivals heldthroughout the coun-ty each year. From

the Roann CoveredBridge Festival toManchester FunFest, from Charley

Creek Arts Fest toLagro CarriageDays; we are a com-munity that takesthe time to celebrateour history. Tourismthat engages in ourcultural heritageand promotes it willassist in generatingsignificant economicimpact, which bene-fits everyone. The National

Trust for HistoricPreservation definescultural heritagetourism as “travel-ing to experience theplaces, artifacts andactivities thatauthentically repre-sent the stories andpeople of the pastand present.”Connecting tourismwith heritage andculture can do morefor the local econo-my than promotingthem separately.That’s the core idea

in cultural heritagetourism: preserveyour heritage andyour culture, share itwith visitors, andreap the economicbenefits of tourism. Tourism creates

jobs, provides newbusiness opportuni-ties and strengthenslocal economies.When cultural her-itage tourism devel-opment is done right,it also helps to pro-tect our county’s nat-ural and culturaltreasures andimprove the qualityof life for residentsand visitors alike.A well-managed

tourism programimproves the qualityof life as residentstake advantage ofthe services andattractions tourismadds. It promotescommunity pride,which grows as peo-

ple work together todevelop a thrivingtourist industry.Studies have consis-tently shown thatcultural heritagetravelers stay longerand spend moremoney than otherkinds of travelers.Perhaps the biggestbenefit of culturalheritage tourism isthat opportunitiesincrease for diversi-fied economies, waysto prosper economi-cally while holdingon to the characteris-tics that makeWabash County spe-cial.

Indiana’s winterwheat crop is healthyand right on trackdespite wet weather atplanting time last fallthat slightly reducedthe state’s acreage, aPurdue Universityagronomist said.Indiana farmers

planted about 430,000acres of winter wheatfor 2012, comparedwith the nearly460,000 acres plantedfor 2011. But accord-ing to Herb Ohm, thestate’s crop looks“beautiful” to thispoint.“The wet fall

delayed planting a bit,so the wheat had justemerged before itstarted getting cold,”he said. “But becauseof the mild winterwe’ve had, there’sbeen no substantialwinter kill. Wehaven’t had manyheavy rains thatwould have led toponding in the fields.The wheat is in excel-lent condition.”Ohm said if the

weather stays warmfor the remainder ofwinter, wheat couldsoon come out of win-ter dormancy and

start to grow again.The early awakeningwould give the cropplenty of time to tiller- something it didn’thave time to do lastfall.But the mild weath-

er might also have adownside. Ohm saidfarmers could seehigher incidences offoliar diseases, suchas septoria leafblotch, stagonosporaglume blotch andpowdery mildew.“Foliar diseases,

including leaf andglume blotch, werelikely established andactive into December.Whether or not theybecome a problemwill depend on theweather because bothlike warm, wet condi-tions,” Ohm said.“Powdery mildew willestablish early in thespring, but by May it’slikely to fizzlebecause it likes cool,wet weather.”What has Ohm

most concerned, how-ever, is fusarium - afungus that not onlycauses yield loss butalso produces a vomi-toxin that renders thegrain useless for

human or animal con-sumption.Fusarium grows in

corn, where it’s morecommonly referred toas “giberella,” andcan overwinter in thecorn stubble left inthe fields in no-tillsystems. Wheat plant-ed into that stubble,or planted in neigh-boring fields, canbecome susceptible tothe fungus.“Wheat growers

need to scout their

fields and pay closeattention to corn stub-ble in those fields ornearby fields,” Ohmsaid. “If they’re see-ing a lot of black inthe corn stalks, it’slikely at least some ofthat black is fusari-um.”The fungus thrives

in humid, wet condi-tions - especially inApril to June whenwheat is flowering. Itcan be successfullytreated with fungi-

cides, but the applica-tion window is verysmall.“Fusarium affects

wheat when the cropis flowering, andthat’s the time whenfarmers need to applyfungicides,” Ohmsaid.Part of what makes

fusarium tricky isthat growers won’tsee symptoms in theirwheat crop until afterthe disease is estab-lished. That’s why

Ohm recommendsfarmers start to scoutfields for foliar dis-eases before the earlyboot stage, and, if sig-nificant disease isdeveloping, apply theappropriate fungi-cides. If the weatheris warm and humidaround the time thecrop starts to flower,growers need to applya fungicide specifical-ly for control of fusar-ium head blight.“If the weather is

cool and dry at flower-ing, fusarium will beless likely,” he said.One thing that

shouldn’t be a prob-lem this year is theHessian fly, a pest thatcan severely damagewinter wheat, espe-cially when it is plant-ed early.“Hessian fly isn’t a

serious concern atthis point this yearbecause most wheatin Indiana was plant-ed late,” he said.

Indiana wheat ‘excellent’ despite wet planting season
