Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Bill Konyha

The Wabash economy gotanother energy boost fromthe makers of the 5-HourEnergy Drink.

Living Essentials, maker ofthe world’s best-selling ener-gy drink, announced plans

earlier this year to increase itspresence in Wabash by buildinga 520,000-square foot facility inthe new Wabash NortheastBusiness Complex (WNBC).

The capital investment of$25.5 million for the new manu-facturing plant brought thetotal capital investment for 2012in Wabash County to$32,215,217, according to BillKonyha, president and CEO ofthe Economic DevelopmentGroup of Wabash County.That’s an increase of almost $3million over 2011.

Add to that nearly $25 millionof construction projects com-pleted or nearly completed in2012, Konyha noted, and youhave more than $57 million ineconomic development. Thoseprojects include Mainstreet’sresidential rehabilitation andlong-term care facility at thesoutheast corner of U.S. 24 andAlber Street, scheduled to open

in 2013; a new water storagetank constructed by IndianaAmerican Water Co. at theWNBC; the first two buildingsin the Advanced Ag ResourcesInc. campus at the WNBC; andwork on the infrastructure atthe WNBC.

Other projects in 2012 includean expansion at HarveyIndustries, $3,114,917; an expan-sion at Hipsher Tool & Die,$196,700; an expansion atShepherd’s Chevrolet in NorthManchester, $800,000; a newbusiness in Wabash, NuStartLLC, a family medical facilityat 797 S. Wabash St., $148,600; anEconomic DevelopmentAdministration (U.S.Department of Commerce)Grant of $1.8 million for thenew business park; a $100,000OCRA grant for public arts; a$375,000 Indiana EconomicDevelopment Corporation(IEDC) grant for Living

Essentials, and $80,000 for anew 4G communication tower.

The 10 projects handled thispast year will result in a netgain of 228 jobs (compared to167 in 2011) and $221,449($166,686) in local income taxes,Konyha reported. The averagewage for those 228 jobs is$32,985 ($34,417) or $16.49($17.21) per hour.

“The average wage inWabash County in 2011 was$30,731, or $15.36 per hour basedon a 40-hour week, 50 weeks peryear, so the net new jobs createdthis year pays wages well abovethe 2011 average,” Konyha, nowin his seventh year as head ofthe county’s economic develop-ment efforts, said.

The new businesses/expan-sions will raise the county’sannual payroll by $7,520,550,compared to $5,747,800 in 2011.“In the past three years, EDGhas assisted more than $132

million of projects that result-ed in the private sector creating867 jobs,” Konyha said. “Thisnew payroll of more than $26million generates more than$757,000 in new local incometaxes, benefitting every personin Wabash County.”

When the first phase of theLiving Essentials expansion iscompleted in July of 2013, thecompany will have 1,350,000square feet under roof inWabash. The Michigan compa-ny, which began its operationshere in 2007 at the old Markhonbuilding on Bond Street, nowemploys more than 400 workersand could increase that by 200with the completion of the sec-ond phase of the WNBC proj-ect, another 500,000-square-footaddition.

ofwabash.comFor the past 33-½ years, Linda

Gabel has worked diligentlybehind the scenes in theWabash Post Office sorting thecommunity’s mail. On Jan. 31,Linda will retire from the jobshe’s come to love and start anew phase of life – retirement.

Over the years, Linda haswatched the mailroom change.When she first started, therewere five regular clerks, whoworked five days a week, andfour subs. Now, there are tworegulars and two part-time flex-ible workers.

“Now, everything is automat-ed, and it doesn’t require all thepersonnel,” Linda told ThePaper of Wabash.

The mail used to come insacks and it was laid on flats tobe sorted. Linda and her co-worker would race to beat theletter carriers.

Linda arrives at work at 6a.m. and starts sorting lettersand flats, which are newspa-pers, magazines, or any mail 8½ by 11 inches or bigger. Lindasorts the mail for routes, thenmoves on to P.O. box mail andforwarding mail. Linda alsoorders supplies, and if needed,works at the window.

“(I enjoy) sorting the mail. Itgoes fast. I’ve just always likedto do it,” Linda said about herfavorite part of the job. “Youhave to know a scheme, and I’veknown a scheme forever,” shesaid.

Linda enjoys sorting the mail

because it keeps her busy,unlike working at the counter.

“I like the customers, but asfar as standing up there, it’s bet-ter when it’s busy, but whenthere’s nothing going on I haveto bring my stool over there,”said Linda. “Working in theback, there is always somethingto do, and at the window it canget boring.”

Linda believes she is ready toretire and is following theadvice of her father who oncesaid, “Don’t retire until youhave plans or chores or some-thing to do for nine months. Ifyou’re busy for that first ninemonths then you’re home free,and you can enjoy being retiredwithout any problems.”

Linda, who likes to stay busy,isn’t worried about gettingbored with retirement.

“I think I have enough choresto survive a whole year,” shesaid. “There’s always some-thing to do, and if all else failsyou can volunteer.”

Linda is ready to begin choresat home, but it is her age, num-ber of years working and theincentive pay to retire that ulti-mately helped her make thedecision to leave at the end onJanuary instead of in thespring.

Linda, who has lived inWabash all but three years ofher life, and her husband Bill,who is also retired, plan to movefrom Hill Street to Pike Street inthe spring, and Linda wants toget the new house ready. She is

“Indiana FarmBureau appreciatesthe recent efforts ofthe U.S. Congresswhose last-minutedeliberations yieldeda legislative packagethat seems to haveaverted the so-calledfiscal cliff. A numberof tax provisionswere handled in theagreement, but thespending side of theequation will needmore attention in thecoming months. Theautomatic budget cutsthat were set to beginyesterday will nowtake place at the endof February,” IFBPresident DonVillwock said.

“Part of the legisla-tive package signedinto law by PresidentObama is a nine-month extension ofportions of the 2008farm bill. During thepast year the Houseand Senate ag com-

mittees, with inputfrom farmers, craftedtheir versions of afive-year farm bill,both of which con-tained significant pol-icy reforms and bil-lions of dollars in sav-ings over the next 10years. Indiana FarmBureau is disappoint-ed that neither ofthese versionsbecame law. Hoosierfarmers are now leftwith what is at best astop-gap measure.

“While we aregrateful that lawmak-ers compromised onthe onerous estate taxissue by keeping the$5 million exemptionlevel and only raisingthe rate by 5 percent(from 35 to 40), weencourage membersof the 113th Congressto seriously addressthe spending side ofthe fiscal equation.We also call on themto begin work imme-

A Monthly Guide To Managing Your Wealth From

FIRST MERCHANTSTRUST COMPANY

Concernedthat your es-tate could besubject to fed-eral estatetaxes? Lowinterest ratescan provide agood opportu-

nity to reduce your potentialtax exposure. One strategy youmay want to discuss with yourprofessional advisors is agrantor retained annuity trust(GRAT).

A GRAT is an irrevocable trustyou create during your lifetime.You transfer selected assets intothe trust, such as investmentsor a business interest. You thenreceive annuity payments fromthe trust for a specified period.At the end of that term, the re-maining trust assets pass to thetrust beneficiary — your child,for example.

Because a portion of the trust

assets will be returned toyou, the value of your tax-able gift to the beneficiaryis less than the full value ofthe assets you place in thetrust. A low IRS interestrate also means a smallertaxable gift due to the ac-tuarial computations in-volved in valuing the gift.

You can use your gift- andestate-tax exemption to re-duce or eliminate any gifttaxes due. The GRAT as-sets — including any ap-preciation — won’t beincluded in your estate aslong as you survive thetrust term.

We can help with all ofyour estate planning needs.Call us at 260-563-4116 or800-205-3464.

The IndianaE c o n o m i cD e v e l o p m e n tCorporation (IEDC)announced today thatin 2012 it secured jobcommitments from256 companies fromacross the countryand around the worldthat project to createmore than 27,600 newjobs, an increase from19,080 in 2011 andmore than any otheryear on record.

“A better state econ-omy starts with a pos-itive business climate,and Indiana’s is nownear the top of everylist,” said GovernorMitch Daniels. “Butgreat credit goes tothe job-hunters of theIEDC, and to our pro-growth partners inthe General Assemblywho helped us buildthat environment andbuild America’s besteconomic develop-ment agency.”

Driven by compa-nies like Amazon,Toyota, Magnetation,Angie’s List, SugarCreek Packing,Supreme Industriesand SweetwaterSound, Indiana wel-comed commitmentsfor 27,620 new jobs and$6.41 billion in capitalinvestment in 2012.The new positions,which companiesanticipate to hire overthe next five years,pay an expected aver-age hourly wage of$21.77, above thestate’s current hourlywage of $19.74. Theaverage amount ofstate conditional taxincentives offered tocompanies on a perjob basis was $8,689,down from around$37,000 in previousa d m i n i s t r a t i o n s .Under the IEDC, stateincentives are activat-ed only when new jobsactually occur.

Automotive-relatedmanufacturing repre-sented the largest sec-tor for new job com-mitments in 2012 with7,180 new jobs project-ed. With 5,606 job com-mitments, the busi-ness services industryrepresented the sec-ond largest sector ofnew growth followedby the non-automotivemanufacturing sectorwith 5,602 projected

new jobs. Job commit-ments for other sec-tors include: logistics(2,388), food produc-tion (2,022), life sci-ences (1,606) andinformation technolo-gy (1,589).

“From its fallingcorporate tax rate andrecently enactedright-to-work legisla-tion to its overall fis-cal stability, theseresults are proof thatcompanies findIndiana one of themost attractive placesto create jobs,” saidDan Hasler, Secretaryof Commerce andchief executive officerof the IEDC.

Since Daniels estab-lished the IEDC inearly 2005, the agencyhas worked with 1,474companies to locate orexpand their opera-tions in the state. Theagency secured jobcommitments totaling19,080 in 2011, 23,152 in2010, 19,955 in2009,18,627 in 2008,22,627 in 2007, 21,995 in2006 and 15,523 in 2005.Collectively, thesecompanies have com-mitted to create morethan 168,500 projectednew jobs and investmore than $34.23 bil-lion in their Indianaoperations.

The IEDC continuesto conduct and pub-lish an annual per-formance review of

all companies, incooperation withinternational audit-ing firm, CroweHorwath, LLC. Thesecompanies indicatedthat, by the end of2011, they had plannedto add 63,063 new jobs.During the review, thecompanies collective-ly reported adding48,120 new jobsthrough 2011, whichequates to 76 percentof their scheduledprojections. The IEDCwill formally presentthese results again atits next public quar-terly board meeting.For historical per-formance data, con-tinue to visit theIEDC’s website.

Indiana continuesto garner national

accolades for its com-petitive business cli-mate. In 2012, bothChief Executive mag-azine and PollinaCorporate rated theHoosier State best inthe Midwest for busi-ness and fifth best inthe country. Indianaranks fifth bestnationally for busi-ness friendliness andseventh for cost of liv-ing by CNBC. AreaDevelopment maga-zine also ranked thestate eighth in thenation for its businessclimate and Indiana isone of only nine statesto have triple-A creditratings from all threereporting agencies:Standard & Poor’s,Fitch and Moody’s.

LADIES NITEOUT CLUB: TheDecember meetingwas hosted by the offi-cers and was held atthe Main ViewRestaurant in NorthManchester. Beforethe meal Vice-President CarolynEverest gave devo-tions by reading anarticle entitled“Jesus’ Hands.”

His hands werefrom the tiny hands ofa newborn baby to thehands that werenailed to a cross. Sheclosed with a humor-ous poem entitled“The Month AfterChristmas” and pre-sented each person aword scramble puzzle(Red and GreenCuisine by SherryTimberman). Inhonor of theChristmas holidaythey were going to eatfoods that were redand green andunscramble the menubefore dinner.

Club PresidentHelen Dawes wel-comed everyone andread the thought ofthe month “Let usstop, look, and listenthis Christmas andhear the singing ofthe angels so long ago.A song of hope, peace,and good will.” Afterlunch Anna Lee Biehlled in singing threeChristmas carol andupdated the group onher son, Jay’s medicalcondition.

It was decided tocontinue the Secret

Sister gift exchangefor 2013 and acknowl-edge those with birth-days and anniver-saries with cards.Helen Dawes’December birthdaywas remembered.Secret Sister gifts for2012 were exchangedand names drawn for2013. Helen Daweswill host the Januarymeeting with a saladluncheon in herhome.

JAY BIEHLRECEIVES PAN-CREAS/LIVER: OnDec. 27, Jay receivedboth a new liver and apancreas. Since 1980when Jay was just fin-ishing his freshman

year in college, hewas hospitalized fortwo weeks with ulcer-ative colitis. Afterbeing put on medica-tion, Jay had no moreserious bouts withcolitis, but his liverfunction values werepretty elevated. Afterruling out possibleliver diseases such ashepatitis and cancer,Jay’s doctor stronglysuspected PSC(Primary SclerosingCholangitis), a slowly-progressing disease ofthe bile ducts.

PSC is an autoim-mune disease inwhich the liver’s bileducts become scarredand constricted, inter-fering with the liver’sability to drain itsbile. And when thebile can’t drain out ofthe liver, its toxicityeventually kills offliver cells.Unfortunately, whenit builds up, it beginsseeping into sur-rounding blood andtissue causing a con-stant itching thatcan’t be alleviatedwith any kind of med-ication. More worri-some, though, is theelevated risk of bileduct or liver cancerdue to the constantpresence of the bile.

Jay came throughthe surgery very well.His wife says he keepscommenting that“just touching hisskin (without it itch-ing, without all thescratching) was amaz-ing. It’s as if he isrediscovering his ownskin...as his “friend”not as the “enemy,”

as something comfort-ing not somethingirritating. It was pret-ty amazing to watchand hear him.”

Jay will have gooddays and bad daysduring his recoveryand still needs yourprayers. Cards can besent to him at 1719Falling Brook Drive,Fishers, IN, 46038. Youcan also follow hisrecovery by visitinghis Caring Bridge siteat www.caring-bridge.org/visit/jay-bieh.

Dear editor, Most all therapists,

along with others inthe medical field, rec-ognize the fact thatmany people dealwith depression dur-ing the holidays andthe winter days withloneliness. It’s diffi-cult for everyone toadmit they may havedepression and notjust a few blue days in

our lives.There are several

reasons to be over-come with sadnessthat brings on peri-ods of mild depres-sion. For some of ourelderly, holidays maybe a time of sadnessbecause of not havingfamily to share theseason’s joy. Perhapsit’s the recent loss ofa loved one, or an

Wood suggests therapy with artaccident that causedserious injury. Justthe letdown of thebusy holidays canbring on feelings ofsadness. Even thedarker days of wintermake us sad.

Most therapistsbelieve that not allpeople need medicaltreatment to over-come periods ofdepression. They sug-gest getting out andbeing with people,begin a hobby, take aclass and learn some-thing new, as a way ofovercoming thoseperiods of depression.Therapists often useart to help theirclients. Children aremost often helped byusing art to help telltheir story of sadness.Adults fail to under-stand how this mighthelp themselves torelieve anxiety andloneliness.

Art classes are highon the list of manytherapists for self-

help activities. Youlose all track of time,become so absorbedin creating that youfail to realize you arein a group with oth-ers. The group; how-ever, gives each othersupport and helpseach other. It isn’tabout how well youcreate something, it’sthe time involvedlearning and achiev-ing that gives a feelingof satisfaction thatyou created some-thing with yourhands. A child canplay with crayons,

clay and other sup-plies and enjoy them-selves for hours, notcaring how well theydo, but just havingfun. While adultsshould be able to dothis, many find ithard to overcomethose initial feelingsof not having the abil-ity to do it successful-ly in the beginning.Adults can also workon a project for hoursand wonder ‘wheredid time go.’ You for-get everything as youbecome so absorbedin creating.

While a therapistmay help you, youmight find an artclass to be far lessexpensive. If you aredealing with feelingsthat may lead todepression, find astore offering artclasses. Learn to cre-ate and you will beamazed at the hoursof enjoyment you’llhave. The feelings ofcreating somethingonly you can do areamazement beyondbelief. Don’t allow thefeeling of being afraidof trying keep you

from learning how artcan help. LocallyWoods Framing andArt is offering severalpainting classes inJanuary with free ses-sions and some sup-plies included. If youfeel classes may helpyou and you cannotafford them, Woodswill work with you.Call Jo Wood at 563-1915 for a private con-sultation as classesare limited as to howmany will be accept-ed.

EDG ends another banner year...continued from front pagetion infrastructure,Konyha said. It isbeing built on a utilityeasement in theWabash IndustrialPark.

“The land isunbuildable other-wise,” Konyha added.“The tower will bene-fit the entire countywhen completed.”Construction of thetower was approvedby the Wabash Boardof Zoning AppealsDec. 20 and the build-ing permit was grant-ed the next day.

EDG officialsprocessed a total of 82leads in 2012, 69 deal-ing with businessescontemplating expan-sion into new commu-nities and the balance

either existing busi-nesses or new start-ups. Twenty-seven ofthose leads dealt withGreenfield sites andthe remaining 55 werelooking for an exist-ing building.

Forty-one of thoseleads were tied tomanufacturing, twoto distribution, 15 tofood or value- addedagricultural process-ing and 24 classifiedas other. Konyha said18 of the leads are stillactive, 53 have beeneliminated and 10were completed.

Forty of the leadscame from theIndiana EconomicD e v e l o p m e n tCorporation, 20 camefrom EDG staff mem-bers and 17 came fromNortheast IndianaRegional Partnership.

“Of the leads, 67

percent were targetedat existing buildings,”Konyha said. “Wehave very few build-ings in WabashCounty that are noteither functionally oreconomically obso-lete. The ceilingheights are not nearlyhigh enough, manyhave wood roof trussand do not meet theinsurance require-ments currently ineffect. Therefore ourGreenfield sites oftenhave to compete withvacant buildings.”

EDG assisted manu-facturing, machinery,automotive, healthcare and communica-tions industries tocreate economic andemployment opportu-nities this past year.And it also attracted$2,375,000 in grants

during 2012.“These grants

directly supportWabash County peo-ple and businesses,”Konyha said, “andnearly $500,000 is tieddirectly to trainingactivities that addvalue to WabashCounty people. ThePublic Arts Grant wasan initiative ofWabash Marketplace,Inc. and Manchester

I was fortunate enough to at-tend the grand opening of the newEdenPURE® factory in North Can-ton, Ohio. The new plant broughthundreds of new jobs back to Ohioand reversed the common practiceof sending Midwest manufacturingjobs to China. Now, EdenPURE®continues to ramp up productionfor the coming Winter with excit-ing new models and hundreds ofnew employees as this Made inAmerica success story continues togrow.

American Labor, AmericanQualityWith over 3 million portable

heaters sold EdenPURE® is thebest selling portable infrared heat-ing system in North America.However, like any classic, Eden-PURE® has dozens of would-becompetitors who create Asiancopies at low prices using cheap,foreign labor. Don’t be fooled bythese imitations. Look for theEdenPURE® logo and the Made inNorth Canton, Ohio stamp. Savelike millions of others on yourheating bills and say “NO” tocheap foreign imitators.

Save up to 49% on 2013 Eden-PURE®sNow readers can save up to

49% ($229 the largest savings everon new EdenPURE®s). Eden-PURE® is not just the best-sellingportable heating system in NorthAmerica. As an EdenPURE® own-er I rank EdenPURE® #1 for quali-ty, safety and efficiency. And nowis the perfect time to save like nev-er before on our expanded 2013EdenPURE® line made in ourbrand new North Canton, Ohio fa-cility.With two models EdenPURE®

can meet all of your heating re-quirements 365 days a year.

Stay Comfortable 365 Days aYear“Never be cold again” is the

EdenPURE® promise. EdenPURE®provides you insurance against thecold all year long. Stay comfort-able on those unseasonably chillyevenings no matter the season. Ilive in California but believe me itgets cold at night. Keep your ex-pensive furnace turned down untilit’s absolutely necessary. And ifwe are fortunate enough to experi-ence a mild winter as many of usdid in the Midwest last year, youkeep your furnace off all season

and save even bigger.New, More Efficient ModelsThe engineers at EdenPURE®

listened to their millions of cus-tomers and somehow managed toimprove the #1 portable heater inNorth America. Through old fash-ioned American ingenuity the newEdenPURE® line is more efficientto save you even more money. The EdenPURE® Personal

Heater now heats a larger area, anincrease from 350 square feet to500 square feet. That’s a 30% in-crease in efficiency! And Eden-PURE® is proud to introduce the2013 Model 750. The new Model750 is perfect for larger areas andheats up to 750 square feet. Butthe best thing about the Model 750is the price. We priced the Model750 at only $50 above the PersonalHeater. This means you receive a33% increase in performance foronly $50. That’s American engi-neering at its best!

The EdenPURE® can cut yourheating bills and pay for itself in amatter of weeks, and then start

putting a great deal of extra moneyin your pocket after that.

Super Safe Infrared HeatNow remember, a major cause

of residential fires in the UnitedStates is carelessness and faultyportable heaters. The choice of fireand safety professional, CaptainMike Hornby, the EdenPURE® hasno exposed heating elements thatcan cause a fire. And a redundanthome protection system that sim-ply shuts the EdenPURE® down ifit senses danger. That’s whygrandparents and parents love theEdenPURE®.The outside of the EdenPURE®

only gets warm to the touch so thatit will not burn children or pets.And your pet may be just like mydog who has reserved a favoritespot near the EdenPURE®. Yousee the EdenPURE® uses infraredheat. And just as pets enjoy bask-ing in a beam of sunlight they tryto stay close to EdenPURE®’s“bone-warming” infrared heat.

The Health Secret is in theCopper

EdenFLOW™ technology usescopper heating chambers to takethe energy provided by our specialSYLVANIA infrared bulbs and dis-tribute our famous soft heat evenlythroughout the room. Now our copper isn’t ordinary.

It’s 99.9% pure antimicrobial cop-per from an over 150 year oldAmerican owned company in Penn-sylvania. So your EdenPURE®heater is continuously pushing soft,healthy, infrared heat throughoutyour room.
