Entering its 14th year, the program has assisted 3,345 Indiana graduates – 29 from Wabash County – in pursuing baccalaure- ate degrees at any four-year college or university in the state. Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI) oversees the statewide administra- tion of the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program. According to the ICI website, the scholar- ships are awarded through and adminis- tered by the network of community founda- tions throughout the state. Due to increasing educational costs – by next year the average cost of tuition and fees for four years of study is expected to be more than double what it was when the program began – Lilly Endowment, Inc. has opted to change its community scholar- ship program. Beginning with the 2011 class, the number of nominees each par- ticipating county can submit will be based on modified popula- tion requirements.

ACRES’ Land TrustBoard and Staff arepleased to announcethat a local couple,long-time ACRES’members, have madea $500,000 gift toACRES for land acqui-sition. This is thelargest cash gift inACRES’ 51-year histo-ry and also the largestcash gift the donorshave made to anorganization.
In announcing thegift, the donors, whochoose to remainanonymous, acknowl-edge their love forACRES and its mis-sion: preserving landin its natural state innortheast Indiana forfuture generations.“We were doing ourestate planning anddecided we wanted tosupport ACRES dur-ing our lifetime whilealso leaving a legacy
that will continue tosupport the organiza-tion and protect landfor future genera-tions.”
The donation estab-lishes a revolvingpool of funds forACRES, whichexpands ACRES’ flexi-bility in acquiringland. A revolvingfund allows ACRES totake advantage ofland that becomesavailable and pur-chase it swiftly, eitherimmediately or atauction; then the fundcan be replenished byfund drives for thenew property, leavingthe principal intact.
The donors stated:“It is clear the publicsector has fallenbehind in settingaside open space forrecreation purposesfor our citizenry. Wehope our gift increas-
es the acreage ACREScan protect by provid-ing a revolving pool offunds. We are delight-ed to make such ameaningful gift toACRES and hope thatothers will follow suit.We have enjoyed help-ing ACRES purchaseland for severaldecades.”
Jason Kissel,Executive Director ofACRES, called it “anamazing gift thatgives ACRES a newland-acquisition toolwe otherwise wouldnot have had.”
ACRES isIndiana’s oldest andlargest land trust.ACRES currentlyowns 4,800 acres pro-viding 78 nature pre-serves for hiking andrecreation free toACRES’ membersand the general pub-lic daily from dawn
Cheese Buffs…..We stopped having Thursdays at the Youth Center a little over a
year ago; that day of the week is now referred to by those at TheAccess as Grilled Cheese Thursday. It has become part of our afterschool schedule, a weekly routine, a habit for us every fourth day ofthe school week from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. But it hasn’t always been thatway, let me explain: In the beginning it was very “hit and miss” some-times the staff would remember, sometimes we wouldn’t; most of thetime the youth attending had no idea they would be getting a grilledcheese along with their snacks. Let me assure you if we were to skipthis Access tradition even once now, it would not go unnoticed!
Habits are a big part of life, some are good, others are not; but alltake time to form into a routine. This year for Lent, some of ouryouth have accepted a challenge to read a Bible verse each day for 40days; the verses come in the form of texts or on our Facebook page.The hope is that all those who accept this challenge will be influ-enced by God’s word in their everyday life and maybe even form ahabit of reading it.
Are you up for the challenge? Do you need a new, healthy habit? Ifyour answer is yes but you need a little help you can join in on the 40day AYC reading challenge by texting “AYC word” to 260-568-2530 toreceive a daily verse; or visit The Access Youth Center on Facebook.Just remember, if you miss a day, you’re not “out”, keep tryingbecause this habit will change how you look at each day, not justThursday.
“There’s nothing like the written Word of God for showing you theway to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part ofScripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showingus truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training usto live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shapedup for the tasks God has for us.” 2 Timothy 3:15-17 (The Message).

The company isproposing to cap theproject’s construc-tion costs to bepassed along to cus-tomers at $2.72 bil-lion, excludingfinancing costs onthat amount. DukeEnergy also is pro-posing rate-relatedadjustments thatwill lower the overallcustomer rateincrease related tothe project from anaverage of about 19percent to about 16percent. The averageresidential, home-owner impact wouldbe about 14 percent.
The proposal is sub-ject to Indiana UtilityR e g u l a t o r yC o m m i s s i o napproval.
“The effect of theseproposals would be tobring the project’snear-term rate impactto approximately thesame level it wouldhave been under thecurrently approved,$2.35 billion cost esti-mate,” said DukeEnergy IndianaPresident DougEsamann. “We believethis approach bal-ances four importantobjectives: the contin-uing need for newpower generation;m o d e r n i z i n gIndiana’s aging powersystem, reducing thecustomer rate impact;and giving sharehold-ers a reasonablereturn on their invest-ment.”
Specifically, Duke isproposing:

In addition, Indianacustomers will see thebenefits of “bonusdepreciation.” Bonusdepreciation is a feder-al tax incentive provid-ed for major projectssuch as theEdwardsport plant aspart of the Tax ReliefU n e m p l o y m e n tI n s u r a n c eReauthorization andJob Creation Act of2010.
Last April, the com-pany announced thatthe Edwardsport pro-ject’s scale and com-plexity would addapproximately $530million to the previous-ly approved $2.35 bil-lion estimate. Thatbrought the total esti-mated cost of the plantto $2.88 billion, or $2.72billion, not includingfinancing costs.
The company’s pro-
posal is part of IndianaUtility RegulatoryCommission proceed-ings to review the costincrease request.Commission hearingsare scheduled to beginAug. 22.
If approved by reg-ulators, the rateincrease will notcome at once; already
approved costs beganphasing into rates inJanuary 2009 and willincrease graduallythrough 2013. This“pay as you go”approach benefitscustomers by lower-ing total financingcosts and spreadingthe rate increase overtime.

There has beenmuch debate andnews coverage on thepublic health topic ofprotecting the healthof all Hoosiers fromthe dangers of sec-ondhand smoke.When authoring acomprehensive bill toestablish a smoke-freeindoor air policy inIndiana that protectsall Hoosiers, one mustlook at certain restric-tions and guidelinesrelated to public safe-ty. What’s wrong withthat?
There are policiesthat mandate thewater temperatureused to wash dishes inrestaurants, but noone says the govern-ment is banning thepractice of cleaning

Words are important; the right word can make a difference they feel like.Secondhand smoke isairborne, thus posinga public health threat,just as hazardouschemicals. There arespecific cleaning flu-ids that are notbanned; however,there are policies inplace to restrict howand when they may beused to protect thegeneral public. It’s nota ban; it’s a policy.
For 10 years,Indiana TobaccoPrevention andCessation (ITPC) hasbeen working to pro-tect Hoosiers from thedangers of tobacco,including secondhandsmoke. Yet some havemisconstrued ITPC’sefforts. Public healthofficials, civic leadersand voters are askingfor smoke-free airpolicies and not aban on smoking, norsmokers. They aredemanding a smoke-free air policy thatsets certain restric-tions and guidelinesto protect allHoosiers from thedangers of tobaccosmoke. It’s not a ban;it’s a policy.
There are manyteachers and healthcare providers thatsmoke, but do theyhave the right tosmoke while they areteaching or caringfor children? Thereare policies in placeto protect our chil-dren from those dan-gers. Indiana needs ac o m p r e h e n s i v esmoke-free air policyand not a smokingban. It would begreat to have electedofficials, reportersand the general pub-lic to use the appro-priate word and tounderstand the dif-ference.

House Republican freshmengalvanized for democracy
community activists,realtors, and lawenforcers to serve thestate of Indiana andour constituents.
After six weeks ofworking in a biparti-san manner, theDemocrat minoritychanged pace and fledthe state; their leader-ship claiming ouragenda is “radical”.The fact is Pat Bauerand his Democratminority were notgoing to take anychances on democracy.They walked outinstead.
They followed thisaction with a list ofdemands: 11 bills theywanted removed fromthe legislative calen-dar, including the statebudget – somethingthat we are constitu-tionally obligated topass.
Further, we weretold we were “anti-union, anti-family, andanti-middle class”. Ourleader has been calledu n c o m p r o m i s i n g(along with some otherunpleasant names). Wehave been told byDemocrat representa-tives that this would allbe solved if SpeakerBosma (R-Indianapolis) wouldnegotiate with Rep.Bauer behind closeddoors to take bills “offthe table”. Weadamantly agree withour Speaker when weall say, “NO WAY!” Weagree with the Speaker.Changes to these billscan take place on theHouse floor, the demo-cratic way, throughamendments and opendebate.
We are a new breed,not old school politi-cians. We know thatdemocracy should nothappen behind closeddoors. Democracy,whether a tea-partieror liberal, happens outin the open whereideas are debated,amended and thenvoted “up or down”.Collaboration happenswhen elected officialsfrom each side sit downtogether to discuss par-ticular bills valuingeach other’s point ofview and discoveringcommon ground.Consensus happens
when both sides give ittheir best effortand the minority viewcan at least “live with”the outcome.
Unfortunately, Hoosiers have been denieddemocracy, collabora-tion and consensus bythe actions of theminority party hidingin Illinois and shirkingtheir duties. The costto Hoosiers includes$41 million in retireebenefits and dozens ofother bills that cannotbe enacted this year asthey died procedural-ly. We are requiredto pass a budget and to
redraw the state andcongressional Housemaps based on newcensus data. Further,we remain firmly com-mitted to hear, debate,amend and vote 50pieces of legislationthat await second andthird readings beforeturning our attentionto Senate bills thatrequire our attentionas well.
Rep. Bauer andDemocrat colleagues –we may be freshmen,but we are not intimi-dated, worn down, ordiscouraged by yourantics. Instead, you

InIndiana, in 2007,there were a total of205,005 crashes, 9,942of them were alcoholrelated.
“The purpose ofenforcement check-points is to removeimpaired driversfrom Indiana road-ways before theycause needless pain,suffering and deathto innocent victims,”stated Indiana StatePolice Sergeant RickBrown. “We wouldlike voluntary com-pliance of Indiana’straffic laws, but offi-cers are searchingfor and will arrestthe small segment ofdrivers who continu-ally endanger allmotorists by operat-ing a motor vehiclewhile impaired.”
Reminders so
motorists do not findthemselves “over thelimit and underarrest”:
- Plan ahead andalways designate asober driver beforeconsuming alcohol.
- Don’t drive yourvehicle if you’vebeen drinking alco-hol. Call a taxi or asober friend. A cabride is cheaper thana DUI arrest.
- Take care of yourfriends. Never let afriend drive whileimpaired. Take theirkeys.
- If you are hostinga party, always offernon-alcoholic bever-ages. Make sure allof your guests leavewith a sober driver.
- Never providealcohol to anyoneunder the legaldrinking age of 21.
Motorists areencouraged to reportsuspected impaireddrivers by calling911. Give a vehicledescription anddirection of travel.Never follow animpaired driver.

The All-County ros-ters five First Teamplayers, five SecondTeam players, twoHonorable Mentionselections, Player ofthe Year, Coach of theYear, Defensive Playerof the Year,Newcomer of theYear, and Sixth Manof the Year.
There were no regu-lations as to howmany players couldrepresent each school,as voters were simplyurged to select theplayers they viewedas the most outstand-ing athletes through-out the 2010-11 season.
Southwood HighSchool senior MikeCook was selected asthe first boy’s basket-ball Player of theYear. ManchesterSquire head coachAaron Cripe earnedthe other top honor
after being votedCoach of the Year.
Cripe improved theManchester Squiresto a 3-17 regular sea-son record in his sec-ond season at thehelm, despite losingsix seniors from the2009-2010 squad due tograduation.
Cripe saved the bestfor last however, lead-ing his team to defeatcounty rivalsNorthfield (53-46) andWabash (64-56) duringthe opening tworounds of sectionalplay.
Cripe’s Squiresadvanced to the cham-pionship game wherethey faced NorthMiami, even taking abrief lead in thefourth quarter beforeultimately falling tothe Warriors.
Cook, a 5’8” guard,led all Wabash Countyscorers netting anaverage of 19.3 pointsper game (ppg) overthe entire 2010-2011season, and finishingas the third highestscorer during confer-ence play (16.6 ppg).
Cook’s impact wasevident by the con-stant attention herequired from oppos-ing defenses. Cookconsistently drew theopposing team’s lock-down defender, or adouble team, yet man-aged to connect on 40percent of his fieldgoal attempts. He alsoled the Knights with4.1 assists per game(apg), second best inthe Three RiversConference (TRC),and attempted the sec-ond most free throwsin the TRC, while con-necting on 73 percentof his free throwsattempted.
Defensively, Cookfinished tied withConnor Hobbs for sec-
ond on the Knightsteam with 37 steals,an average of 1.9steals per game.
Cook signed hisnational letter ofintent to play colle-giate basketball atPurdue University,North Central, wherehe will be able to playagainst formerKnight teammateSpencer Krhin, now amember of the BethelCollege Pilots.
Joining Cook on theFirst Team is 6’5” jun-ior forward/centerRyan Givens. Givensled the TRC in fieldgoal percentage, con-necting on nearly 64%of his total field goals.The junior fromNorthfield led histeam in scoring, 13.4ppg, seventh in theTRC, and rebounds,9.2 rpg, tops in theTRC.
Wabash Apachesenior Alex Hentgenwas also named to theAll-County first team.Hentgen led theApaches in nearlyevery statistical cate-gory, including points(13.7), rebounds (7.5),and steals (3.2).Hentgen led the TRCin steals and finishedsecond in the countyin scoring during con-ference play (15.7ppg), behind onlyCook (16.6 ppg)
Hentgen was alsoselected by the coach-es and media as the2010-2011 WabashCounty boy’s basket-ball Defensive Playerof the Year.
The ManchesterSquires were the loneschool in the countyputting two selectionson the first team; sen-iors Scott Baker andAustin Flack.
Baker, a 6’4” seniorfinished the seasonranking in the top ten
in the TRC in scoringand rebounds. His 13.3ppg were good enoughto finish ninth in theconference and his 8.4rebounds per contestleft him behind onlyGivens for the confer-ence crown.

Both Schoenefeldand Caudill joined thestaff at the Wabashfacility approximate-ly three weeks ago.
Schoenefeld is orig-inally from FortWayne and is a gradu-ate of WabashCollege. He currentlylives in Fishers andpreviously worked atthe Miller’s facility inTipton as anA d m i n i s t r a t i v eAssistant.
“I’ve been with thecompany for threeyears all over the

state, but this is myfirst Administratorposition,” heexplained. “It’s beenfun getting to knowthe residents in thisfacility – they’re real-ly great and there area lot of interestingstories. The staff herehas also been veryhelpful; most of ourstaff heads have beenhere a long time sothey know this build-ing and they knowthis town.
“It’s interesting forme because I’ve beenthrough Wabash a lotbut I haven’t spent alot of time here, andwhat I’ve seen is peo-ple have a lot of pridein Wabash. I hope tokeep the tradition ofwhat this buildinghas had in the past,being a good buildingwhere people feel safebringing their familymembers.”
According toSchoenefeld, asAdministrator he isresponsible for man-aging the day-to-dayoperations whileensuring that policiesand procedures arefollowed in bringing
the utmost qualitycare to the residents.
“I don’t know if alot of people areaware that Miller’sMerry Manor is a 100-percent employee-owned company,” headded. “Everybody isa part owner of thecompany and I thinkwith that being saidthere is a differentmentality in the waythey perform theirduties – they want todo a good job not onlyfor the residents butfor the facility aswell.”
Caudill is a MarionHigh School graduate.She received her LPNdegree in 1991 andgraduated from IU-Kokomo in 2003 withan associate’s degreeas an RN. She wasemployed at theMiller’s facility inMarion for the lastyear and a half, and atone time she worked
in the Miller’sHuntington facilityfor three years.
“I’ve been a nursefor 20 years, with 13years of long-termcare experience,” shesaid. “I was a staffnurse at the otherfacilities, but I’ve heldupper managementpositions throughoutmy nursing career.
“What we want toshow is that we arefamily-oriented andwe promote a familyatmosphere with ourresidents. We wantthe care we’re giving,and our actions, tomake the residentsfeel like they aremembers of our fami-ly.”
As Director ofNursing, Caudill over-sees all nursing staffand evaluates them inorder to assure theyare providing qualitycare for the residents.
Both individuals
come to the Wabashfacility, which has 144beds and 41 employ-ees, from larger facili-ties: Tipton is a 150-bed facility withapproximately 150staff members andMarion is a 170-bedfacility with a totalstaff of about 140.
“In the smallerfacility my job is pos-sibly a little more dif-ficult because youhave every aspect ofthe job, whereas inthe bigger facilitiesyou have an assis-tant and other peoplein upper manage-ment under theDirector of Nursingthat assist,” Caudillexplained. “In asmaller facility it’sall wrapped up intothe Director ofNursing position,but you do get tospend more timewith the residents.”
Schoenefeld added,
“I prefer the smallerfacilities becauseyou really get toknow the residentsbetter – it’s a muchmore quaint envi-ronment for the resi-dents – and you canget to know theirfamilies better.There’s nothingwrong with the larg-er facilities but thesmaller facilities def-initely have theirpositives.”
Schoenefeld’s wife,Christine, is alsofrom Fort Wayne andthey plan to moveback there soon. Thecouple has onedaughter, Emerson,and they have a babyon the way.
Caudill has beenmarried to her hus-band, Widdie “Bud”,for 24 years. The cou-ple currently residesin Marion and theyhave two dogs.

JUST AT H O U G H T :“Spring is when youfeel like whistlingeven with a shoe fullof slush.” ~ DougLarson
LAFONTAINE’SIOOF CEMETERY:All winter decora-tions must beremoved by March25. Those remainingwill be taken off bythe clean-up crew.
SPRING IS INTHE AIR, literally.Sandhill cranes justflew over the house,heading north totheir breeding terri-tories.
Not to be mistakenby great blue herons,sandhills fly withtheir necks stretchedout. Great blues flywith theirs pulled in,making an “S”shape.
Cornell Lab ofO r n i t h o l o g ydescribes the sand-hill call as “a deep,rolling trumpet andrattling.” If you’dlike to hear an exam-ple of this call, checkout Cornell’s web-site. Often times, thebirds are flying sohigh you can’t seethem, but are able tohear their call.
You could see themin a field or around awetland. Wetlandsare a vital part ofbird migration.(Please keep that inmind the next timeyou’re called upon toexpress a vote for anew parking lot orhousing additionslated for a wetlandarea.)
During fall migra-tion, folks flock toIndiana’s JasperPulaski Fish andWildlife Area wherethere have been up tothirty thousandbirds at a time. Ifyou’ve never been,put it on your calen-dar, it’s well worththe trip.
There, they have alookout platform andan area where folkscan set up their lawn �
chairs, take a picnicand spend an enjoy-able evening watch-ing the birds come into roost. If you’relucky, you may evencatch a glimpse ofthe rare and endan-gered whoopingcrane.
Another bird totake notice of is theTurkey Vulture.They’re starting tofill our local skiesafter their winterhiatus spent in thesouth. It won’t belong until they’resmelling their road-side meals. I like torefer to them asMother Nature’sgarbage disposal.Can you imaginewhat would ourworld would looklike, and smell like, ifthese birds weren’there doing their job?
While most peoplethink this bird isgross, it’s one ofNature’s coolestcreatures.
The bald, feather-less head aids thebird from becominginfected with con-taminating diseases,often associated withdecaying roadkill.The sun’s ultravioletrays keep bacteriakilled off. When yousee these birdsperched, with theirwings spread out,they’re doing thesame thing — allow-ing the sun to do itswork as a disinfec-tant and killingmites.
There are specialchemicals in theturkey vulture’sstomach that keepthe birds healthyafter feasting on the
smorgasbord ofdecaying meat.
You know howroadkill smells whenyou drive by? It does-n’t smell any betterafter it’s eaten. As adefense mode, ifthreatened, a turkeyvulture will regurgi-tate its meal and thatnasty smell willward off any poten-tial danger. Theyalso use this offen-sive-smelling matteraround their nestsites, which are oftenon the ground, tokeep predators awayfrom their young.
Speaking ofsmells, another signof spring hasemerged: skunks.When I think of theblack and whitebeauties my mindautomatically goesto Great HornedOwls. (It’s an asso-ciative leap, I prom-ise.) Since owls havea lousy sense ofsmell, a great hornedowl’s special treat is,you guessed it,skunk. I’ve heardtaxidermists dislikeworking on greathorned owls becauseof the lingering odor.
Since owls don’tbuild their ownnests, great hornedowls will use thenests of other birds,such as hawk andheron. And sincethey’re the first to goon the nests, usuallyin January orFebruary, the owlscan take their pick.
A few years ago,while checking outthe heron colonynear LaFontaine,there the mommagreat horned owl sat,
smack dab in themiddle of the colony,in a nest with a fuzzy,down-covered owlet.In the surroundingnests, great blueherons were busysetting up the nurs-ery – you know, rear-ranging the furni-ture, cleaning cur-tains – in anticipa-tion of their newarrivals.
I’m bettingmomma greathorned owl wasprobably thinking ameal of creme d’laheron would be per-fect for her young.
There’s a wholeworld out there,folks. Get out andexplore it! Spring isin the air. ~Lynnanne
