For the past 155years, Stockdale Millhas stood proudlyalongside the EelRiver, one mile west ofRoann. In 1972, theMill ceased to func-tion and stood silentuntil 2002 when therestoration processbegan.The Mill, which has

gone by several differ-ent names over theyears, was one of 13mills along the EelRiver. It was built in1857.

“The mill was builtprior to the Civil War,so they made flour forthe Union Army dur-ing the Civil War,”said Jim Watson, pres-ident of the board ofthe directors for theStockdale MillFoundation.In 1881, James M.

Deck and his father,both stone dressers,came to our area fromPennsylvania. Theelder Deck went backto Pennsylvania, leav-ing his son behind towork at the Mill.James M. Deckbought the mill in1886. He passed it tohis son, James H.Deck, who thenpassed it on to his

daughter and her hus-band, Addison andLorna (Deck) Krom. “They were the last

ones to run the mill. Itshut down in 1964making flour, but itwas still grindinggrain for the feed forfarmers for a fewyears after,” Watsonsaid. After the lastgrain was ground, themill remained underthe ownership of theDeck/Krom family.“They were very

particular about whobought the mill.People wanted to put arestaurant in it, anantique shop, but theydidn’t want thatbecause all the

ofwabash.comIn a joint effort, the

Life Center and HisHeart, Our Handshave succeeded in

bringing a powerfulmovie, October Baby,to the Historic EaglesTheatre, 106 W.Market St., Wabash,for showings on April

27, 28 and 29.Recently released

October Baby is thestory of a youngwoman who beginshaving health prob-

lems, which doctorsattribute to difficultbirth circumstances.She soon learns thather birth was theresult of a failed abor-tion attempt, whichresulted in adoption,which she had notknown prior to thatpoint. The movie con-tinues with her andher quest to learnabout her past. Carmen Fleck, of

His Heart, Our Hands,an adoptions resourceorganization, and herhusband had theopportunity to viewthe film inIndianapolis when itwas first released.“We were very

impressed,” Flecksaid. “We left themovie and we lookedat each other and said‘We have got to getthis movie toWabash’. It just has alot of educationalpurposes in it and itpromotes everythingthat the Life Centerand His Heart, OurHands is trained todo.“It is a phenomenal

movie. I think themessage in the movieis obviously pro-lifeand its also pro-abor-tion and there’s also astrong message of

redemption through-out the movie.”Within a month,

Fleck had contactedTod Minnich, execu-tive director of theH o n e y w e l lFoundation, and hehad agreed to showthe movie at EaglesTheatre.The movie will be

shown on April 27, 7p.m.; April 28, 2 p.m.and 7 p.m.; and April29, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.Standard admissionrates apply.“After the show-

ings, we are going tohave pastors availableto pray and talk withpeople and some con-sultants from hereand His Heart, OurHands,” said CherylMeyer, executivedirector of the LifeCenter. “This way, itgets people to knowthat the Life Center ishere and we can helpthem.”

Fleck continued,“We plan on passingout at the end of themovie informationabout the resourcesthat are availableright here in WabashCounty with the LifeCenter and His Heart,Our Hands.” The Life Center, 78

W. Hill St., Wabash, is

a nonprofit,Christian, abstinence-based pregnancy cri-sis medical clinic.They have a nursemanager on staff whois certified to do limit-ed ultrasounds. Sinceacquiring an ultra-sound machine lastyear, the clinic hasseen a positiveresponse on thewomen who have uti-lized this resource. “When we take a

girl back into the con-sulting room, they arenervous and theydon’t want to give anywrong answers, butthere are no wronganswers. We’re justthere to help themand I think once theysee the picture flashup on the screen andsee the heartbeat, it’semotional for them,”Meyer said.The Life Center’s

2012 Annual Banquetwill be held on Sept.13 and Shari Rigby,who portrays thebirth mother inOctober Baby will bethe guest speaker.Life Center is a

501(c)3 organization,and they are always inneed of donations andvolunteers. They wel-come monetary dona-tions as well as wipes,

diapers, prenatal vita-mins and gently usedchildren’s clothing upto 4T. Life Center is open

Monday, Wednesdayand Friday, 1-4 p.m.His Heart, Our

Hands is a county-wide organizationthat providesresources for familiesconsidering adoption.They have informa-tion about reputableadoption agenciesand they provideafter-adoption sup-port resources aswell.“Sometimes it’s

really tough when thechild comes home ifthey don’t attach ormake the expectedadaptations to thefamily so we providetraining andresources and a shoul-der to lean on whenthe going gets tough,”Fleck said.The organization

also has an AdoptionGrant Fund to helpChristian families towho live in Wabashthat want to adopt andhave a need for finan-cial help with theprocess. To discussthe Adoption GrantFund, call 260-563-4109and ask for CarmenFleck.

only reason I left theoffice is because youcan only hold it fortwo consecutiveterms, eight years. It’sa passion. I love thejob. I love the people Iwork with. I work forthe people; it’s just acalling of mine.In a questionable

situation, whowould you directlyoverride in authori-ty and who woulddirectly overrideyou in authority?McDonald: In a

coroner’s case, I workfor the people. I worknext to the doctors,pathologists and thepolice officers. I’m not

above them; they arenot above me. We’reequals and I treateveryone the same.Whitesel: There is

no override of eitherparty. We work thingsout. If one has a sug-gestion, we listen.There is one thingthat we can override.If a family insists thatthey do not want anautopsy but I don’thave any idea whythis person passed, Ihave to have one done.The family may notlike it, they get prettyupset sometimes, butin the end they calmdown and they under-stand. So that is oneinstance wherethere’s an override.Delaughter: It

depends on what typeof a situation we’reinvestigating. If it ison a state highway,

the state police shouldbe in charge of thatinvestigation andwe’re only there topronounce the personor people deceasedand then after weremove the body fromthe scene we need tostart doing our inves-tigation as the coro-ner.Why do you think

you are the best per-son for the job? Whitesel: I feel like

I’m the best person forthis job because everycase is investigatedthoroughly. I makesure we have a correctcause of death. I doanything and every-thing I can for fami-lies. My staff and I arealways available tofamilies to answerany questions theyhave, any time of day.When they leave us,

they have our phonenumbers. I amextremely proud ofthe compassion thatwe show to families. Iam going to continueto do that and I feel ifI am allowed to dothat it will be an evenbetter next four years.McDonald: I can’t

think of why I wouldbe better than theother two here. Theyare qualified; theyhave held the office. Ijust think it’s my call-ing. I would do thebest I can, like I’vedone before. Everyoneis equal.Delaughter: When

it comes to filling outa death certificate, theexperiences I’ve hadover 50 years of fillingout death certificates,knowing what the pri-mary cause and sec-ondary cause are. I

understand what hasto go on that deathcertificate. The infor-mation you put onthere sometimesdetermines howmuch money the stateis going to give doc-tors for research incertain types ofdeath. That’s one rea-son why I feel like I‘mqualified to hold thisoffice as well as theexperience from myeducation throughmortuary school.The candidates

were each give oneminute for closingcomments, and theircomments followed atheme of encouragingattendees to get outand vote and askfriends and neighborsto do the same.

zDear editor,I thought I’d give an

update on the Project500 child sponsor-ships. I think this lat-est blog post fromSarah, in Ghana, saysit best:Monday afternoon I

was heading upstairsat school when one ofthe boys called meover .

“Madam Sarah,Ishmeal is crying!”Ishmeal was indeed

crying. In fact, helooked absolutely dev-astated.“Ishmeal! What’s

wrong? Are youhurt?”Ishmeal was too

upset to answer so theother boy spoke forhim. What I expected

to hear was that some-one had beat him orthat he had fallen andhurt himself, not thathe had lost a yellowsquare of paper nomore than five inchessquare.“The this thing that

you gave him - thepaper. He put it in hisexercise book andsomeone has collected

it and now he does nothave.”“The yellow paper?

For sponsorship?”“Yes.”“Oh, Ishmeal. It’s

okay. You can tell yourparents to come to themeeting tomorrow.You don’t have to havethe paper. You willstill get sponsored aslong as they come,okay?”The trauma of

believing he had lostthis link to notebooks,pencils, erasers, and aschool uniform wasslow to fade but atleast the tearsstopped.The next day, I saw

him after the parentmeeting and told himhe was now officiallysponsored.“Thank you,

Madam Sarah!”Ishmeal smiled.Seventy-one spon-

sored, http://chal-lengingheights.org/sponsor.html, so far!Our dream is to

raise up 500 sponsors(one sponsor for eachchild in the school,most of them havebeen rescued frommodern day slaveryand human traffick-ing) from the WabashCounty area. To learnmore about childsponsorship andProject 500, or to spon-sor a child, go towww.victorynm.org/Project500.htm or con-tact Nikki at VictoryChristian Fellowship,260-982-8357.

machinery that ishere was here when itclosed down,” Watsonsaid.Then along came a

couple with a visionof restoration, whichis exactly what thefamily was lookingfor. Although it hadoutlived it’s use as afunctioning mill,Dwight and SusanneFouts felt that the millcould provide a valu-able educationalresource if it wererestored. They estab-lished the StockdaleMill Foundation andpurchased the mill in2002 to begin theextensive work. “The mill was lean-

ing toward the riverand was about readyto fall into the river,”Watson said. TheFoundation employedan Amish contractor,Amos Schwartz, tostabilize the mill. Thecrew had to dam thewater out from under-neath the mill, wherethe turbines are locat-ed, and pump thewater out of the area.They then raised themill and leveled it.After wind damage

to the roof that sameyear, the Foundationrestored the roof toits original form,cedar shakes. Theyalso removed the lapsiding, which hadbeen installed in 1920,thus restoring themill to its original1857 form. Newrafters in yellowpoplar, the same woodoriginally used on themill, were donated byDouds Orchard. Thebottom two floors ofthe mill were madehandicap accessible.The mill itself is

four stories with alevel of channels ofwater housing the tur-bines below the bot-tom level. It is com-plete with the rollermill machinery,which was installedin 1883; three tur-

bines, which replacedthe waterwheelbetween 1907 and1910; a weigh shed andoffice, which wereadded in 1909; a con-crete dam, whichreplaced the timberdam in 1915; and anextensive collection ofhistorical items. The office features

several items originalto the mill including asafe, a receiptmachine and anadding machine.Displayed on the wallare copies of receiptsdated 1934, the origi-nals are kept in a safeplace. Many addition-al items are on loanfrom the MiamiCounty Museum. The mill is listed on

the National Registerof Historic Places,and was honored withthe HistoricPreservation Awardin 2009.The mill opened for

organized tours in2003. They are openfor tours onSaturdays, noon to 4p.m., and the guidedtours last approxi-mately one hour.Tours are conductedMay through October.Visitors will be enter-tained with interest-ing stories and facts

regarding the mill.“We do have one

guide that workedhere when he was aboy so he’s wellversed on this,”Watson said.Special groups,

such as schools andorganization are alsowelcome and encour-aged to schedule a pri-vate tour by calling765-833-2019.Tours of the mill

are free of charge,and the mill operatessolely on donationsand volunteer work. “We do have an

annual duck racedown the Eel Riverand we get funds offof that, but the rest is

just donations,”Watson said.Every Monday, a

group of men meet atthe mill to performgeneral maintenancetasks.“We’ve got about all

of the machinery run-ning so now it’s justmaintaining thebuilding. There arealways things thatneed done,” Watsonsaid.On April 28, 9 a.m.

to noon, the StockdaleMill Foundation isasking members ofthe community to vol-unteer some time toget the mill ready forwhat they hope willbe a busy season.

My DadI know this man, who is dear to my heart,

Suddenly one day it was all torn apart.This man taught me everything that I needed to know,

But I never really listened,until he had to go.

He gave me love and touched my life. It’s all over now, He no longer has to fight.

He tried to teach me right from wrong.The day he left, I wasn’t that strong.He is gone now, it’s hard to believe.

This man is my dad, who I will never see, but yes I will see him again this I know,

The day will come when it’s time for me to go. So I’ll hold him dear and close to my heart.

Cause the day we meet I know we’ll never be torn apart!

Love and Miss you Otis SiscoDillons & Sisco’s

April 20th, 2010

This is it. This isthe day he wouldfinally score. Runningafter his blue-jerseyteammates, Anthonykept his brown eyeson the soccer ball as itdarted between thecrowd of blue andorange players. Hislabored breathing andhammering heart hin-dered his advance-ment down the grassyfield. Forcing himself in

the crowd of his team-mates and the oppos-ing team, he couldn’thelp but notice howkids his own age tow-ered over him likeskyscrapers. He hadalways been short forhis age, but his father

said that he would hithis growth spurtsoon. Despite hissmall frame, Anthonywas determined toplay soccer and to begood. Elbows swung

towards Anthony’shead, and the players’protective shinguards slappedagainst each other askids aimlessly kickedtheir cleated feettowards the black andwhite ball. Dodgingflailing arms and tan-gled feet, Anthonypicked his waythrough the blue andorange mass of kids.The scuffed soccerball was almost inreach. Anthony could

almost feel the sensa-tion of kicking theevading ball out ofthis chaotic crowd ofblue and orange.Jumping over a fall-

en orange player,Anthony lifted his legto kick with all thestrength he couldmuster. The smilequickly faded as theball zipped throughthe crowd of kidstoward the glovedgoalie. Suddenly themass of kids migratedtoward the ball like apride of lions in pur-suit of a deliciousgazelle. A sweaty bodycollided into Anthony.Gravity and the forceof the impact sentAnthony tumbling to

the ground. Theorange player laughedas he ran after thebouncing ball.The young referee

sprinted to whereAnthony lay sprawledon the ground, “Hey,kid. You all right?”Straining his soremuscles, the smallboy forced himself up,“Yeah, I’m fine.”Suddenly, his coachwas beside them,“Ref, time-out.”Shoving the silverwhistle in between hislips, the referee randown the field to calltime-out.His coach bent

down in front ofAnthony to face himat eye level, “Whathappened?” Anthonycouldn’t help butstare at the wrinklesthat stretched acrosshis coach’s face liketree branches.Anthony felt the ten-sion in his shouldersas he tried to stifle thetears from forming, “Iwas so close. I couldhave had it, but every-one is bigger thanme.” His coachglanced down at theother players as theygulped water from thecooler or tried tosneak ice cubes downthe shirt of theirfriend. His gaze shotback to Anthony withsuch ferocity that thesmall boy took a stepback, “Listen to me,Anthony. It doesn’tmatter how tall a per-

son is or how strongthey are. All that mat-ters is what’s in here.”The coach placed afinger on Anthony’schest over his heart.Perplexed, Anthonytitled his head incuriosity. His coachcontinued, “You havewhat it takes, kiddo.When you go afterthat soccer ball, don’tfollow your feet; fol-low your heart.”His coach grunted

as he got to his feet.He gently pattedAnthony’s shoulder,“Go get’em.” Anthonywatched as his coachwalked toward thebenches. The refereeblew the whistleagain to signal theplayers that thegame had startedagain. The over-whelming crowd ofblue and orangeformed their mass ofsweaty bodiesaround the soccerball once again.Anthony replayed inhis mind, what hiscoach told him.“Follow your heart.”Instead of divinginto the mass ofkids, Anthonywatched from a dis-tance, waiting. Theball sailed throughthe air after a heftykick from the sameorange player thathad knocked himdown. The ball rolledagainst Anthony’sgrass stained cleats.He couldn’t believe

that, for once the ballcame to him.Anthony’s smilefaded as he noticedthe mass of soccerplayers stampedingtoward him. Panicflooded his limbs ashe hurriedly led theball down to thegoalie. The sound of feet

beating the greenturf pumped adrena-line through thesmall boy’s veins.Anthony felt his feetgrow numb but hewasn’t stopping now.From the bench, hecould hear his friendyelling his name,“Go, Anthony! Run!”Anthony would havewaved to his friendbut he needed all hisconcentration. Hewas fast approachingthe goalie and by thelooks of him, he wasthe biggest kid onthe field. Trying notto stumble, he barelydodged the invadingfeet of the opponent.The slippery ball col-lected dew from thefresh grass that had-n’t been touched yet.Hesitating, Anthonyglanced behind him.The mass of playershad finally caught upwith him. The facesof his teammateswere of completesurprise, while theopposing playersglared at him forstealing the ball.Anthony felt hisheart pound violent-

ly against his chest. Once again,

Anthony drew backhis foot. He sucked inall the air his lungscould hold andreleased his cleatedfoot. It felt like a life-time before his footconnected with thesoccer ball. The loudthump that followedafter his kick seemedto slow down time.Anthony watched asthe ball boltedthrough the air. Thegoalie dashedtowards the ball withoutstretched glovedhands to catch it andthe ball gentlygrazed his fingertipsbefore hitting thegoal net.Anthony suddenly

realized he forgot tobreath. Inhaling, asmile curled fromear to ear across hissweaty face. Hisshocked teammatescrowded around himin waves of congrat-ulations and jubila-tion. His team hadwon the game. As histeammates excitedlydanced around himin victory, he glancedat his coach sittingon the bench. Hiscoach was right. Heonly needed to followhis heart.The Y is the start-

ing point for manyyouth to learn aboutbecoming and stay-ing active, and devel-oping healthy habitsthey will carry withthem throughouttheir lives. But thebenefits are fargreater than justphysical health, as isevident in the storyabove. A youthsports experiencehas the power toinfluence the devel-opment of a child. Inour communitythere are kids whoare not participatingbecause of littleparental involve-ment or financialhardship. TheWabash CountyYMCA providesyouth sports scholar-ships to families inneed and also to eachelementary schooland leaders at theAccess, to get morekids in the game.Last year 486 kidsparticipated inSpring, Fall orIndoor Soccer.Games begin on May5.

Heartland Career Center constructs and delivers storage shed for Winchester Senior Center

STUDENTS FROM HEARTLAND CAREER CENTER recently con-structed and delivered a custom-build storage shed to the Dallas L.Winchester Senior Center. This shed will be used to improve the operationof the food pantry. (photo provided)

As a part of thefood pantry consolida-tion project at theDallas L. WinchesterSenior Center, stu-dents from HeartlandCareer Center con-structed and deliv-ered a custom-builtstorage shed to theSenior Center. For thepast year, Living Wellin Wabash County hasworked on a capitolcampaign to improvethe operation of thefood pantry by consol-idating the pantryoperation in the eastend of the building, inthe former garage. Inresponse to an anony-mous matching gift of$10,000, another$10,000 was raised forthe pantry, nowknown as theC o m m u n i t yCupboard food pantry.“We are grateful to

the students and theirinstructors for all oftheir work on thisproject,” says CEOBeverly Ferry. “Thegenerosity of ourdonors and the teamattitude of Heartlandmade this possible. Itis through such col-laboration that thiscounty is so strong.”The initial fund

drive for the pantryconsolidation projecttook place in late 2010.Implementation ofthe renovation projecthas taken longer thananticipated due toimprovements in theproject. In the winterof 2011, the projectteam realized thatadding a walk-infreezer and/or coolerwould greatlyimprove the ability of

the pantry to providemore food. By work-ing with Heartland’sbuilding trades pro-gram, the team wasable to stretch thedonated financialresources. Currently,the team is seekingthe best possible dealon the walk-in freezer.Each stage of the proj-ect has been taken tomaximize the contri-bution to the project.

Dear editor,If you were at the

Wabash CitizensCommitted to theConstitution (C3) reg-ular monthly meeting

in December 2010, youmay recall that I madethe startling confes-sion that I was a baddog owner. By that, Iwas comparing our

elected officials to mydog and the habit thatI have of letting herout and then goingback to my reclinerwhere I would watchTV. Then, when shescratched on the doorsignaling that she wasdone, I would let herback inside, not hav-ing any idea whatkind of havoc she cre-ated in the neighbor-hood.My concern back

then was that we, asvoters, have falleninto a pattern wherewe don’t want to bebothered about poli-tics until “it’s time.”By not paying atten-tion until the electionwas immediatelyupon us, we had noidea what kind ofdamage our dog (AKAelected official) haddone in the neighbor-hood. Were they mak-ing messes that we’regoing to have to scoopup? Were they outthere breeding withother dogs? Biting ourneighbors? If we don’tput our dog on a leashand go on the walkwith them, we justdon’t know. For years,we have re-electedpeople based on theTV and radio ads theyhave put out justbefore the election.Far too often, these

ads have had noresemblance to thetruth.One of our elected

officials is nowscratching at the door,hoping you’ll let himback in. His name isRichard Lugar. Andbefore you get our ofyour recliner, let metell you what he hasbeen out there doing. The first thing you

should realize (and ifyou don’t rememberanything else) Lugarhas earned the title of“Obama’s FavoriteRepublican.” Whatyou are about to readare the reasons why.Dick Lugar voted

repeatedly voted foramnesty for illegalimmigrants, and is amain sponsor ofObama’s DREAM actthat would fast-trackamnesty for millionsof illegal immigrants.At the same time,Lugar has opposedefforts to secure ourborders.Dick Lugar refused

say that the North Manchester Parks and RecreationDepartment allowed them to use the pavilion for the day,and almost everything else was donated as well.“The family of Randy and Nancy Niccum donated and

prepared the hogs, 4-H clubs donated drinks and ice, LindaGlass donated the utensils and plates, the ManchesterLions club provided the liability coverage for the event, D.J.Bob donated his time, and the American Legion helped outa lot, along with Michelle Barnett, Dr. Hankee, Marvin andNevonna Allen, and Brett Tracy and Russ Bauer, who areboth from the Patriot Guard,” Renz added. “I was reallyimpressed by Manchester and I was really pleased with ourcommunity coming out to show support.”All of the money raised will go to Rex and his family, and

will help with the expenses associated with his return toMaryland, where he will continue his extensive physicaltherapy at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.For Rex, who celebrated his 21st birthday on Friday, thetrip home has been both rejuvenating and humbling.“It really blows me away, I felt like the whole town was

out there on Thursday,” Rex said. “Seeing everyone outthere, and feeling their support, it was just awesome. Thiswas important to me because it’s my birthday, plus Ihaven’t been home since August of last year, and witheverything going on I just needed to get home to see myfriends and to see some familiar faces. I’ve really been look-ing forward to spending time with my friends and family,and just sort of relaxing for a while.“I’ve been using my prosthetic for about four weeks now

and it’s coming along – it’s really a building process. Whenyou first get it you want to just start walking, but it hurts,and it takes a while to get used to. I can usually wear minefor about three hours before I have to take it off because myleg gets sore. In therapy I’ve been doing a lot of walkingand exercises to strengthen the leg. It really takes a lot ofrepetition just to get used to doing normal, everyday thingsagain.”When Rex returns to Maryland on April 30, his mother,

GeeGee Tharp, will be returning with him to continue herduties as his NMA (non-medical attendant). GeeGee hashad to take time away from her job to help look after Rex, sothe fundraiser will definitely be a help to the family.Any individuals still wanting to donate can do so

through the account that has been opened for Rex atBeacon Credit Union.There will also be another fundraiser for Rex in the form

of the “Spring Dam Charity Ride,” presented by the FallenMotorcycle Club. The ride will be held May 5, with registra-tion beginning at 11 a.m. and the riders departing at noonfrom Brandt’s Harley-Davidson in Wabash.“We really just want to give back to the veterans that do

so much for us and give us the freedom to do the things thatwe do,” said Gary Corbran, president of the Fallen MC. “Allof our rides are for charity and all of the money we raisestays local. I’m not a big fan of sending money everywhereelse when we need help right here in Wabash County, sothat’s solely what we do. We’re here to say thanks not onlyto Rex, but all the veterans, and we appreciate everythingthey do for our country.”The riders will return to Brandt’s around 3 p.m. for a hog

roast and they will present the money to Rex’s family at 4p.m. There will also be an after-ride party at Sidekicks Barand Grill, beginning at 6 p.m., to try to generate even more

funds.Once Rex is able

to return home forgood, he plans tobegin his collegeeducation and

pursue a career inmusic.

by Shaun TilghmanNews Editor, North Manchester News-Journal

The North Manchester community went to great lengthsthis past week to provide the sort of homecoming thatbefits a hero, and by all accounts it was mission accom-plished as Private First Class Rex Tharp returned home forthe first time since losing his right leg during an explosionwhile on patrol in Afghanistan in January.On April 19, Rex was greeted at the Fort Wayne Airport

by friends and family, as well as motorcycle officers fromthe Indiana State Police and Allen County Sheriff ’sDepartment, and close to 100 riders from the Indiana

Patriot Guard. The processiontraveled U.S. 24 to SR 114, and

was joined en route by alarge group of local bik-ers and four local fire

trucks.By the time the caravan

reached North Manchester,hundreds of people had assem-bled on both sides of Main

Street

for more than two blocks – from just east of Mill Street tojust west of Market Street. Flags were flying all along thestreet and many individuals stood clapping and cheering,while there were still more who showed their appreciationby dressing in patriotic attire and waving flags or home-made signs.The entire procession was amazing to see, and as the first

fire truck passed you could barely make out the end of thecaravan way off in the distance. But there was no mistak-ing when the main attraction got near, as the roar of the

crowd grew to deafening levels at the sight of Rex pass-ing by, waving and smiling from on top of the backseat of

the bright orange convertible, which Shepherd’sChevrolet provided for the occasion.

After the parade had passed through town, theylooped around to go past Manchester High Schooland came south down Market Street before mak-ing a trip down Main Street in the opposite direc-tion that concluded in front of the NorthManchester post of the American Legion.

American Legion Post Capt. Bart Corricelliwelcomed Rex before offering a prayer for hissafe return. MHS senior Derek Self sang thenational anthem, followed by musical offer-ings from the MHS Choir and MHS Band,respectively, both of which Rex was a mem-ber during his days as a student. Manysmiles were seen throughout the crowd, espe-

cially when Rex joined the choir in singing “RingThem Bells”.The town’s celebration continued on April 21 as many

members of the community joined Rex and his family and friendsfor a freewill-donation dinner at Warvel Park.Jenae Renz, a family friend and one of the organizers of the event, said

so many people had gotten involved to help make this event happenbecause it was for such a truly worthy cause.“Rex is a valuable member of our community,” Renz explained, “he

grew up here, he was raised here, and look what he has sacrificed – helost a leg and really it was for all of us. He

did what he did so that we can allhave our own opinions and

live life the American way.“Rex is an amazing,

amazing person.The first thinghe said to hismom was,‘Are myf r i e n d s

okay?’ I don’tknow how I

would have takenit; he’s beenthrough an experi-ence that I don’teven want toimagine, but his

spirit has not beentouched – it holds no

injury.”Renz went

Beginning April 20,the Wabash CountySheriff ’s Departmentincreased seatbeltpatrols throughoutWabash as part of thestate’s RuralD e m o n s t r a t i o nProject (RDP). Agencyofficials recentlyannounced their par-ticipation in theannual effort, whichaims to increase seat-belt use by motoristsin rural counties withthe highest percent-age of unrestrainedfatalities.According to the

Indiana CriminalJustice Institute(ICJI), 64 percent ofthe state’s total trafficfatalities occurred onrural roadways dur-ing 2011. In an effort

to reduce these fatali-ties, approximately 24Indiana law enforce-ment agenciesthroughout the state,in conjunction withthe Indiana StatePolice, have beenselected to take partin this year’s project,which runs throughMay 17. Participatingagencies will be onthe lookout for unre-strained motorists inall vehicles, includingpickup trucks.“The goal of high

visibility enforce-ment efforts such asRDP is to remind allWabash motorists ofthe value of seatbeltuse,” said SergeantSteve Hicks. “Notonly is the use of aseatbelt required by

Indiana law, its usecan increase yourchances of survival inthe event of a crashby over 50 percent.”Since 2007, Indiana’s

primary seatbelt lawhas required that allpassenger motor vehi-cle occupants, includ-ing those in pickuptrucks, buckle upregardless of seatingposition. DuringIndiana’s 2011 “Click Itor Ticket” mobiliza-tion, law enforcementofficers cited morethan 18,000 motoristsfor failure to complywith Indiana’s seatbeltlaw.

REDUCED!!!

(ARA) - For manyyounger Americans,the dream of owningtheir first home isalive and well. But forothers, it’s still an elu-sive dream. Only five years ago,

it was relatively easyto finance a home, butthe Great Recessionand the mortgagemarket’s meltdownhave made it difficultfor many people toqualify for homeloans. The shiftingstate of home valuesand prices has com-plicated matters. In

some markets, valueshave plunged by morethan 40 percent.While that has creat-ed once-in-a-lifetimeopportunities foryounger people toenter the real estatemarket, others havetaken a more cautiousapproach, waiting tosee if prices will con-tinue to fall. Whether you’re

ready now or will bedown the road, buyingyour first home takespreparation. Here aresome tips fromFindLaw.com, the

nation’s leading web-site for free legalinformation, on howto get started. Save aggressively

for your down pay-ment. Many first-timehomebuyers seek amortgage insured bythe Federal HousingAssociation, whichinsures loans made bylenders for qualifyinghomebuyers. The pro-gram allows buyers toput down as little as3.5 percent of ahome’s cost. However,if the home you wantto buy doesn’t qualify

for the program,you’ll need to obtain aconventional loan,which will requireyou to put down any-where from 10 to 20percent of the pur-chase price as a downpayment to qualify fora mortgage. Get your finances

in order. Lenders arenow taking a closerlook at debt-to-incomeratio (percentage ofmonthly income thatgoes toward debt pay-ments) and housing-to-income ratio (per-centage of monthlyincome that goestoward housing pay-ments). In general,responsible lendersfollow the 28/36 per-cent rule - no morethan 28 percent ofyour monthly incomeshould go to housingcosts, and no morethan 36 percent ofyour monthly incomeshould go to debt(including auto loans,credit cards and otherloans). Clean up your cred-

it report. Your creditscore is critical to amortgage application.The higher yourscore, the more likelyyou can qualify for amortgage and obtain

favorable terms (alower down paymentand lower monthlypayments). By law,you can request onefree credit report peryear through one ofthe three major creditbureaus, Experian,Equifax andTransUnion. Youshould request yourreport to review yourscore and correct anymistakes well beforeyou apply for a mort-gage. Don’t apply for

credit. Keep in mindthat a mortgagelender is determiningyour ability to payback a mortgage upuntil the minute yousign the mortgagepapers. In general, it’snot a good idea to takeon more debt such asan auto loan or a newcredit card within ayear of buying ahome. First-year expenses.

First-time homebuy-ers can be so focusedon trying to puttogether a down pay-ment that they some-times forget about theexpenses that go intosetting up a house-hold. You should con-sider putting away anadditional $5,000 to

$10,000 for expensessuch as a lawnmower,furniture and basicdecorating, and forpotential repairsinvolving your fur-nace, air condition-ing, water heater andother appliances. Shop around. It’s

important to shoparound to get the besthome possible foryour dollar. And like-wise, it’s critical toshop around for amortgage too. Get atleast three to four pro-posals from differentmortgage lendersbefore deciding on thebest offer. Don’t expect your

dream home. Manyfirst-time homebuy-ers purchase what’scalled a “starter”home or a “fixer-upper.” While theseare often relativelysmall and need somerepairs, they’re alsoan opportunity toenter the real estatemarket and buildsweat equity. To spot astarter home, look forone that needs somelove and attention in aneighborhood withhouses that are wellmaintained or beingremodeled. Hire an attorney. If

you purchase a homedirectly from the sell-er without the assis-tance of a real estateagent, an experiencedreal estate attorneycan help you write upa purchase agree-ment, according toFindLaw.com. Somesellers may be inter-ested in this option,because it can savethem thousands ofdollars in commissionfees. A real estateattorney also cancounsel you on deal-ing with legal prob-lems that can ariseduring the process ofbuying a home, suchas during the titlesearch. Home inspection.

Even if you’ve comeacross the deal of alifetime, never buy ahouse without a homeinspection. An inspec-tion will alert you topotential problemsthat may not be obvi-ous to a person buy-ing his or her firsthome. It also may beuseful if you need tosue the seller for con-cealing problems withthe home. To learn more

With plentiful inven-tory and record break-ing housing affordabil-ity conditions, Realtorsexpect this year’sspring home buyingseason to be a busy one.To kick off the season,Realtors from coast tocoast will host thou-sands of open housesas part of the RealtorNationwide OpenHouse Weekend. onApril 28 and 29Realtors in WabashCounty will hold openhouses all weekendlong, bringing buyersand sellers together.

“This nationwideevent offers buyers thechance to visit some ofthe many homes intheir local area whilelearning more abouthomeownership,” saidAmy Pate, RealtorsAssociation of CentralIndiana, EVP. “Openhouses are also anopportunity forRealtors to connectwith consumers intheir communitiesabout the housingissues that matter mostto them.”

Realtors will beavailable at open hous-es to answer consumerquestions about thehome buying processand local market condi-tions. Open houses inWabash County willhave Open House Signsposted and BlueRealtor Balloons with awhite R on them.

While the housingmarket continues torecover, it’s showingsigns of improvement,and for many, home-ownership remains animportant part of theAmerican Dream.According to researchfrom the NationalAssociation ofRealtors, more rentersthan ever aspire tobecome homeownersand an overwhelmingmajority of Americansbelieve buying a homeis a solid financial deci-sion.

“Homeownershipmatters to individuals,families, communitiesand our nation’s econo-my,” said Pate. “Thehousing market plays avital role in both thelong- and short-termhealth of this country.Homeownership is notjust an investment inyour future; it’s aninvestment in thefuture of generationsto come.”

Earlier this yearNAR reported housingaffordability condi-tions reached the high-est level since record-keeping began in 1970.The housing afford-ability index is basedon the relationshipbetween the medianhome price, medianfamily income and theaverage mortgageinterest rate. The indexreached 206.1 inJanuary, the first time

the index broke the twohundred mark. Thehigher the index, thegreater the householdpurchasing power. Thismeans the typical fami-ly has roughly doublethe income needed topurchase a median-priced home.

“Realtors believethat anyone who is ableand willing to assumethe responsibilities ofowning a home shouldhave the opportunity to

pursue that dream,”said Pate. “Realtorsknow what mattersmost to buyers and sell-ers in this area andhave the expertise andknowledge to help youachieve the dream ofhomeownership.”

ATTENTION LAND OWNERS

(ARA) - If you havedecided to sell yourhome, that last thingyou want is for it to siton the market for along time. Takingsome home improve-ment steps before list-ing can make yourhouse more attractiveto potential buyersand put you in a bet-ter position to sellquickly. So what do you need

to do to ensure thatlisting your housefloods your real estateagent’s office withshowing requests? 1. Spiff up the

entranceway. Every interested

buyer will enterthrough your frontdoor. Have you lookedat your entranceway

with a critical eyelately? Considerreplacing old or sag-ging screens. If yourfront door is dirty orscratched, clean it upor add a fresh coat ofpaint. Sweep awaydirt and grime and setout a new entrancemat. Oil any squeakyhinges. If you haveplants or shrubberyleading up to yourhome, make sure thatthey are trimmedappropriately. A man-icured landscape lead-ing up to a welcomingfront door will por-tray the positive expe-rience of living there.An ugly or dirtyentranceway can turnaway buyers beforethey enter yourhouse, meaning even

if your home has themost amazing interi-ors, their minds mayalready be made up. 2. Create an outdoor

oasis by detailingyour deck.Today’s buyer isn’t

just interested in theinside of a home, butthe outdoor space aswell. Taking yourdeck or patio fromdrab to fab may onlyrequire adding a cou-ple of stylistic extras.Start by adding beau-tiful deck and fencepost caps likeD e c k o r a t o r sVersaCaps to create apolished, upscale lookfor your outdoorspace. These one-size-fits-all caps have nest-ed inserts that arecompatible with

wood, composite andvinyl posts, and comein a variety of colors.Next, add unique dec-orative fascia cornersthat stylishly adorndeck skirting andcover unsightly cor-ner joints. These newdecorative fascia cor-ners come in twodesigns and installquickly with screws. 3. Add outdoor

extras for safety andstyle. Additions that are

both beautiful anduseful get noticed bypotential buyers.Railings can add styleto your deck, porch,patio or stairs, plusthey add a safety ele-ment to your home.Deckorators CXTRailing is the perfect

choice because youget to choose from avariety of rail andbaluster combos thatemulate the look ofreal painted wood andare ultra low-mainte-nance for long-termdurability andstrength. Anotheraddition to consider isLED lighting thatmakes a home standout at dusk and pro-vides just the rightamount of light sooutdoor space cansafely be enjoyed anytime of day. 4. Add modern col-

ors to interior walls. Cracked paint or

dated wall colors aresure to turn off buy-ers. For a small price,you can purchaseplaster and several

cans of paint torefresh dated lookingrooms for a clean,modern feel. Not surewhat paint colors areon-trend? Visit yourlocal paint or hard-ware store for insight.Remember, it’s best toavoid anything toobold, so even if youlove fire truck red,pick a shade a littlemore demure so youattract the most poten-tial buyers. 5. Reduce clutter for

clean, minimalistrooms. If you’ve ever visited

a house that’s beenstaged, you know thatit helps buyers envi-sion what they mightdo with the room. Tofollow this example,you’ll want to make

sure that you eliminateall clutter, clean updrawers and closets,stow away extra itemslike pillows and blan-kets, and reduce theamount of personalphotography you dis-play. Remember, youwant buyers to visual-ize themselves in yourhome, not see your lastfamily portrait and feelout of place. Always keep in mind

that you want to painta picture for buyers ofthe wonderful life theycan have if they pur-chase your home. Ifthey have a good firstimpression and canenvision their familyenjoying each room inthe house, they aregoing to want to submita bid fast.

Want to sell your home fast? Tips for helping your home stand out in a buyers’ market

(ARA) - Purchasinga home can be themost rewarding - andalso the most frustrat-ing - financial trans-action of your life.Especially today,when the news isfilled with storiesabout the great mar-ket conditions forbuyers. One aspect ofthe home buyingprocess that’s oftenoverlooked is theextra cost that inter-est from a home loanadds to the total priceof the home. It’s true that inter-

est rates are at histor-ical lows. It’s also truethat lenders havereduced the types of

loans they offer, andsimultaneously havebecome more strin-gent about who quali-fies. A recent study by

V a n t a g e S c o r eSolutions, the compa-ny behind theVantageScore creditscore model, showsthat the rate ofdefault for homeown-ers with good credit (acredit score of 700 orbetter based on theVantageScore scale of501-990) has decreaseddramatically since2009. Also notable isthe increase in thelast two years of newloan applicants with ascore of 700 or better(less than 40 percentin 2009; 90 percent in2011). The result? A

good credit score canhelp shave thousandsof dollars in interestoff the cost of a loan. So, before you even

begin looking at hous-es, getting your creditin good order is essen-tial. A good creditscore will help youqualify for the mostfavorable loan terms,and make buying ahome a positive long-term experience. Hereare a few tips fromV a n t a g e S c o r eSolutions that willhelp put you in a goodposition to apply for ahome loan: * Already paying

your bills on time?That’s a great start. Inaddition, check yourcredit report to makesure it accurately

reflects your credithistory. You canobtain one free copyof your credit reportannually from each ofthe three nationalcredit reporting com-panies (CRCs -Equifax, Experianand TransUnion) byvisiting www.annual-creditreport.com. Ifyou do find discrepan-cies, take the stepsnecessary to get thoseissues corrected. TheFTC website lays outa process for you tofollow if you believethere are correctionsneeded to your report.Be sure to allow atleast 30 days for yourcredit report to reflectany information thatmight have beenupdated or corrected. * As you prepare to

apply for a loan, makesure you’re followingother best practicesthat may help youimprove your creditscore. For example,experts recommendkeeping your debt lev-els at less than 30 per-cent of the total creditavailable to you. Youshould also avoidapplying for othertypes of new credit(credit cards, equitycredit lines, etc.)before you apply for ahome loan. * You may have

heard that having

your credit reportrequested frequentlycan harm your score,but do not let thiskeep you from shop-ping around for rateson a loan. A good ruleof thumb is to gatherresearch on mortgageproviders over time,then tell the mortgagelenders to check yourcredit score within a14-day period . Mostcredit scoring modelswill recognize thatyou are shopping for ahome loan, and itwon’t significantlyaffect your score. * If your credit

score is lower thanyou’d like, be patient.Rebuilding your credittakes time. While youmight be anxious topurchase your home,waiting until yourcredit has reboundedcan save you thousandsof dollars in the longrun if it means a lowerinterest rate. While it’s easy to get

caught up in the excite-ment of buying ahome, it pays to takethe necessary steps toensure that you’re get-ting the best rate possi-ble on your home loan.To learn more aboutwhat influences yourcredit score and whatyou can do to improveyour credit, visitwww.vantagescore.com.

(ARA) - Even asspring approaches,the residential realestate market contin-ues to be rough onAmerican homeown-ers more than threeyears after the start ofthe nationwide hous-ing crisis. Althoughsales of existinghomes are up slightlyfrom 2010 levels, themedian home price isstill down throughoutmost of the country,according to theNational Associationof Realtors. This means that

many homeownersare continuing to sittight and are lookingfor ways to make theircurrent houses workfor them just a littlebit longer, until thereal estate marketimproves. But even when it

comes to home reno-vations, it is impor-tant to be smart abouthow you spend yourmoney, as the value ofmany large-scalehome improvementprojects is also ques-tionable in today’seconomy. Homeowners who

made improvementsin 2011 picked up only58 cents in home equi-ty on their remodel-ing dollar (on aver-age), according to theCost versus Valuereport released byR e m o d e l i n gMagazine. Comparedto figures in 2005,when home improve-ment projects provid-ed a 76 percent costreturn, the currentdata is hardly a moti-vator to proceed withthat long-dreamedtotal kitchen renova-tion. Less expensive

home replacementprojects are a muchbetter bet in terms ofrecouping your costs,garnering about 64percent back in resale

value versus the 57percent that remodel-ing projects earnback, on average.Some good ideas forrelatively low-budgetyet fruitful homeimprovement projectsare adding an attrac-tive front entry door,getting energy-effi-cient windows,installing new sidingor, perhaps the mosteffective and reward-ing option, replacingyour garage door. A new garage door

is one of the bestways to improve yourhome with the confi-dence of receiving asolid return on yourinvestment (ROI)when it’s time to sell.Replacing a garagedoor offers the sec-ond-highest ROI at83.9 percent, out of 35midrange improve-ment projects listedon the 24th annualCost versus Valuereport. In some cities,like Charleston, W.Va., Honolulu,Providence, R.I., andSan Francisco, theROI is 100 percent.

Even upscalegarage doors are asmart investment,offering a 69.8 ROIand ranking fourthamong the upscaleprojects listed in thisreport. There’s nodoubt that a newgarage door is anaffordable replace-ment option thatimproves yourhouse’s curb appealwhile also offeringhigher energy effi-ciency, safety andsecurity to both youand future homeown-ers. Knowing that every

dollar you invest inyour house needs tobe spent wisely tooffer the greatest pos-sible return, it’s bestto make homeimprovement deci-sions that you’ll beable to enjoy now andthat will improveyour resale valuedown the road. Replacing a garage

door is the perfect res-idential projectbecause it’s an attrac-tive and cost-effectiveway to achieve these

goals. But with somany styles and mate-rials available on themarket, selecting theright garage door foryour house can be abit overwhelming. Ifyou’re not sure whereto begin, check outthe “How to Buy aGarage Door” guideon amarr.com or atwww.YouTube.com/amarrgaragedoors.The guide is a helpfultool to get you started,offering great tips onthe benefits of differ-ent materials and howto match a door withyour home’s architec-ture and character. In a residential real

estate market that’sanything but certain,it’s comforting toknow that there aresome home improve-ment investmentsthat continue to be asure bet. A newgarage door not onlyoffers a solid return atresale, but also beautyand functionality thathelp you to enjoy yourhome today.

of the people whohelped make this year’sFAME Festival a suc-cess.

Dear editor,As very proud grandparents, we were so pleased with the response to

the Mystery Dinner Scholarship Fundraiser held May 15 for the SarahKaye Haupert Dance Scholarship Fund. There was a good time had by alland I do believe it will be an annual event for the fund. I know Rod andSarah would have loved it very much. We were so pleased to see so manyof Sarah’s friends there, working so hard to make all of this happen inher honor.We just want to say thank you, which does not seem enough for all they

did, but to Ann Haupert for all the planning and chairing of this ventureand Missy Wilson for preparing all the food. May God bless you for theblessing you are to many.And to Phil Hanshaw, Eric and Danielle Wilson (Dani to Sarah)

Mirannda and Madison Mullenix, Candi Elzroth, Kristina and KatieLynn, LuAnn, Rachel and Ryan Layman, Carol Long, Rachel Anders andNate Dunn who served, set up and broke down everything and made thewhole evening possible. Without their selfless response to a call for help,the evening could not have happened. We want to say bless you all, youare not only friends of Rod, Marty and Sarah’s, you are also angels Godblessed their lives with, friends who truly know the meaning of theword. It was such a pleasant time for all and when this comes around next

year, I hope many more attend. It is hard when you lose someone. It is lifealtering when you loose a child and even worse when you lose a grand-child at the same time, but it is debilitating when you lose your family.When this community reaches out to Marty and our family to keepSarah’s zest for life and dreams alive it makes us know that God has putus in this community for a purpose. God bless you all and thank youfrom the Rod Haupert family.
