Mary Ellen Clark retires as Administrative Director of CASA

by Ashley Flynn features@thepaperofwabash.com In 1991, the Wabash County CASA project served approximately two to four children. They currently serve 107. The growth of the program has all come under the direction of Administrative Director, Mary Ellen Clark. CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate, provides children, who have been removed from their home from a Department of Child Services’ report, with a volunteer to represent them in court. Clark joined CASA in the fall of 1990 as volunteer. At that time it was a two county, Wabash and Grant, program. In 1993, Clark oversaw all activities in Wabash County, and in 2001, she broke away from Grant County to become just a Wabash County CASA program. Clark is retiring as the director, but she will continue to work as the coordinator, which is a part-time position. “I am just not ready to give this up totally,” Clark told The Paper of Wabash County. “This basically hasn’t been a job for me. It’s been more of a passion. Yes, there’s days that have been hard and frustrating, but I wouldn’t have wanted to do anything else,” she said. Clark said the most rewarding part of her job is seeing all the children find a permanent home. Children either reunite with their parents after the parents have improved the home, or parental rights are terminated and the child may be adopted. “It’s good to see the parents become better parents. And the ones that get parental rights terminated, you have a family come in and adopt these children. There are people out there that will adopt. When you see a child get adopted that has special needs, you just know they’re going to have the best life they can. That’s just a great day,” said Clark. Clark pays much appreciation to the judges in Wabash County. Judge Vanderpool brought the program here, and Judge McCallen has continued to support it. “It wouldn’t be what it is without the judges,” Clark said. “I’ve really appreciated their participation.” When the DCS removes a child from the home, Judge McCallen appoints them a CASA volunteer. “We are a voice for the children. We make recommenda-

tions as to what is best for the children. Judge McCallen is the final decision maker,” said Clark. CASA also monitors parents who take parenting classes offered by the DCS. They monitor whether or not the parents are being successful in the program or just putting in the hours. Clark believes that much of the increase in cases is due to an increase in drugs throughout the community. “We have approximately 40 children waiting for a CASA volunteer,” she said. CASA currently has 22 volunteers, but Clark would like to add at least 20 more since so many children are waiting. Volunteers complete 30 hours of training that covers topics (Continued on page 21)

Iden claims Big Buck Season 5 title with 15-point buck by Brent Swan Even with whitetail harvest numbers expected to decline in 2012, The Paper’s 2012 Buck Contest officially capped off another successful season as 20 hunters checked in bucks for scoring. Nick Iden’s 15-point buck taken during firearms season grossed 180 3/8 inches, beating the competition by over six inches. “It was a buck we had seen off and on all year on trail cameras,” Iden said of the winning buck. “We didn’t know that we’d get off a shot at him, but we knew we had a pretty good chance.” Iden and his family own ground on the northern part of the county. As firearms season began, Iden said he began to question the whereabouts of the 15pointer. “We (the family) knew we had pretty much hunted the rest of the property too hard,” Iden said. “I knew that if I was going to get him, I was going to have to do something a little different because we hadn’t been seeing him.” The stand Iden chose to sit in was less pressured and boasted thicker cover for a buck that might have become wary. “The stand was one I had only hunted twice through the

whole season. It was somewhere that no one could get to, and we knew had been left alone for the most part,” Iden said. “The property that we own, we only hunt certain stands at certain times dependent upon winds, and it happened to all come together that day. “He came out about 200 yards out and started messing around with some does,” Iden said. “I grunted at him four or five times and he started walking my way.” As the buck approached, Iden waited for his opportunity. “He came into about a five foot wide clearing, but you could tell he was wanting to go back into the thicket,” Iden said. “I knew I had to get him before he could head back in.” After harvesting the buck, Iden knew it was the one he had been after. “It’s the biggest buck I’ve ever killed,” Iden said. “We’ve put a lot of time into the property up there, and we’ve learned a lot doing it.” With the title, Iden earned a $150 gift card to Bass and Bucks and $150 off a shoulder mount courtesy of Barton’s (Continued on page 21)

by Shaun Tilghman North Mancheter News Journal North Manchester is home to a variety of quality businesses, but one in particular invokes good memories for children and adults alike – especially during warm weather – and that’s what helped Dairy Queen, owned by Mike and Diana Parker, earn 2012 Business of the Year honors during the Chamber of Commerce’s 69th Annual Dinner last Thursday. While presenting the award, incoming Chamber Board President Jack Vineyard attempted to rouse old memories by asking the audience to picture a summer evening. “Your son or daughter has just finished their baseball or softball game and you ask them if they would like a treat, and they say, ‘Let’s go get an ice cream cone,’” said Vineyard. “I imagine many of us as parents have heard this from our children. And as parents, we may have even used the ice cream cone trick as a bargaining tool or a reward for our children.”

(Photo by Shaun Tilghman) According to Vineyard, Harry and Truth Olinger first opened the business, as a walk-up establishment, in 1958. The indoor seating was added in 1967, and in 1969, three Manchester College graduates – Stan Weller, Joe Phillips, and Dick Harris – purchased the business. In 1973, Roger and Nancy Burch began their 27-tenure as owners of the Dairy Queen, before selling the business to the Parkers in 2000. “Mike and Diana have lived in North Manchester for many years and raised their family here,” Vineyard explained. “They have two sons, David and Andrew, and one daughter, Katie, and they have been blessed with four grandchildren. I imagine that, before the Parkers owned Dairy Queen, their own children wanted to go to DQ after their games as well. “For as long as I can remember, Dairy Queen has been very supportive of the youth in our community in various sports and activities. Mike has even served as a volunteer varsity basketball assistant coach for both the boys’ and girls’ programs at the high school. They are also involved with the SCRIP program in the schools, they continually make donations to local groups for fundraisers, and they annually give to the Children’s Miracle Network, specifically to Riley Children’s Hospital.” Vineyard concluded by congratulating the Parkers on the award and for their contributions in making North Manchester a better place to live, including providing employment opportunities

for high school students. When accepting the award, Mike jokingly told the crowd he would keep his comments brief in case anybody wanted to head to Dairy Queen after the dinner, which was received with laughter and applause. “It’s a partnership, and Diana, although she doesn’t work there everyday, she does get to hear all of the good and bad things that happen,” Mike added. “We’re over there on the west side of town,” he continued, “just trying to do what we have to in order to survive – just like

every other business – and it’s tough, but it’s really rewarding. We’d like to thank the Chamber committee for this honor that has been bestowed upon us. I’d also like to thank my staff; I have a really dedicated group of managers – I think they have over 40 years of combined service, which is pretty amazing for a fast food restaurant because there is usually a lot of turnover. And, I want to thank our loyal customers; I know a lot of you here, we see your faces quite a bit, and without your support this couldn’t be possible.”

Patty Grant Honored as North Manchester Citizen of the Year

by Shaun Tilghman North Manchester News Journal Patty Grant was both surprised and humbled when she was announced as the 2012 Citizen of the Year during the 69th Annual North Manchester Chamber of Commerce Dinner on Thursday, Jan. 17, at Manchester University. Grant became the third generation in her family to be selected for the award, as she remembers her grandfather receiving the honor more than 40 years ago, and her parents, the late Don and Billie Jane Strauss, were the recipients in 1999. She was presented the award by 2010 Citizen of the Year Anne Myers, who began by acknowledging the presence of 2011 recipient Viv A. Simmons. “There is a thread between Viv and our 2012 Citizen of the Year,” said Myers. “Viv believes in the importance of educating and nurturing children, to help each child grow up to be the very best he or she can be. We recognize that our children are our leaders of tomorrow. But, in the aftermath of the school tragedy that occurred in Newtown, Conn., when we think of the potential lost in that one horrific incident, we understand even more what our children mean to our present and our future. “Our Town Marshall, Jeff Perry, was quoted in a recent edition of the News-Journal when he said the following: ‘If people of the town don’t feel safe bringing their kids to school, then I’m not doing my job. These kids are the future of our town and the future of our country so, by rights, I have to do whatever I can to ensure their safety.’ This quote from Jeff stayed with me because our 2012 Citizen of the Year is a child of North Manchester.” Grant was born in North Manchester and was educated in the Manchester Community Schools system. She and her husband, David, met in college, attended the same graduate school, and were married just before she completed the required coursework for her MBA in Business. According to Myers, they were bright,

young professionals that could have established themselves almost anywhere. “Whereas many young people leave our community after graduation and eagerly seek work elsewhere, this couple couldn’t stay away,” she added. “They found themselves returning to North Manchester on weekends,” Myers continued, “their love for this town, and the lifestyle we enjoy, kept calling them back from their home in Chicago (Ill.). It was also their deep love for their family that kept them coming back. When an opportunity arose in the family business, the couple made the decision to move. They packed up their belongings, came home, put down roots in our community, and both went to work in the family business. Our honoree also continued her family’s path of community service and began to find her place in philanthropic endeavors. “After the birth of her second child, our honoree resigned her work in the family business, as her children became her priority. But, her fierce loyalty to the town of North Manchester led her to continue her involvement in civic matters that both bettered and enriched our community. Our honoree values education and her views are consistent with the views of the Lilly

EDG and Wabash Mutual Bank partner to support NuStart Family Medicine and Weight Loss

Bill Konyha, President and CEO of the Economic Development Group of Wabash County, Inc. (EDG) announced today that EDG partnered with Mutual Bank in Wabash to support Dr. Jamie N. Lindsay, D. O. and her new venture; NuStart, Family Medicine and Weight Loss. EDG supported Dr. Lindsay’s new venture through an Entrepreneurial program that EDG began in 2007 with support from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). EDG support enabled NuStart to begin this new medical practice with two

primary service lines — family medicine and non-bariatric medicine. According to Konyha, this project supports the private sector creation of six new health care jobs in the short term with the possibility of creating six additional health care jobs in the future. “Health Care is one of our target industries,” said Konyha, “This follows our recent success with Wellbrooke of Wabash, the residential rehabilitation and long-term care facility and health care campus.” “I had the dream of going into private practice in family medicine and to

tributed more than $5 million to the foundation’s endowment assets,” Myers explained. “The C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County was one of a handful of foundations in the state that completed all five phases of the GIFT initiative. These successes were possible because of our honoree’s business skills, attention to detail, ability to create an effective team and her personal commitment to make it happen.”

Grant led the creation of the countywide Learn More Essay Contest, as well as the implementation of Wabash County’s Lilly Endowment C o m m u n i t y Scholarship program. From 2004-06, she worked for the Indiana Grantmakers Alliance as a contract consultant reviewing the standards of other Indiana community foundations. In 2005, she rejoined the CFWC Board and she was once again named executive director in March of 2012.

“This past week, I received the organization’s Annual Report in the mail,” Myers said, “and I was amazed at the impact it has in North Manchester and Wabash County. So many good things are happening because of the Community Foundation; so much would have been lost without its success. “Could one person have accomplished this alone, of course not. But, one skilled and dedicated individual had a significant impact on the success

of this organization during the past 20 years. One person has worked tirelessly and quietly in the background to achieve the goals established by the Community Foundation. One person, with a passionate heart for the C o m m u n i t y Foundation, inspired a host of others to grow this organization that benefits us all.” In addition to her work with the CFWC, Grant has served on the boards of the M a n c h e s t e r Symphony Society and PBS Channel 39, and she currently serves on the board of the Learn More Center and is a M a n c h e s t e r University Trustee. She is also a member of the Zion Lutheran Church, North Manchester Fine Arts Club and is a past member of Tri Kappa. Myers used the following words to describe Grant: “humble, dedicated, loyal, mission driven, philanthropist, gifted, caring, faithful, polite,

When accepting the award, Grant quickly showed her humble side by deflecting the credit to those around her. “This stage needs to be shared with so many people,” said Grant. “If I’ve gotten the opportunity to do something, then I need to share the stage with all of the people who volunteered with me. This town is so gracious, and I don’t know how to thank everyone. I appreciate everything you’ve done, and I certainly want to remember my parents, whom loved this community too. Thank you so much; I’ll try to live up to this honor, and all of the people who have stood in this line before me.”

Jim Myer Recognized by North Manchester Chamber for Community Spirit by Shaun Tilghman North Manchester News Journal After 46 years of serving as a “jack-ofall-trades” for Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School, Jim Myer was selected to receive the North Manchester Chamber of Commerce 2012 Spirit of the Community Award. Manchester High School (MHS) graduate Samantha Budnik and Principal Nancy Alspaugh shared the honor of presenting Myer with the award during the Chamber’s 69th Annual Dinner held last Thursday in the Manchester University Student Union. Alspaugh began by describing Myer as someone who is very special to MHS, the Manchester Church of the Brethren, and the thousands of people in the North Manchester community who had him as a teacher, coach, sponsor, or mentor. “I have never known Manchester High School without this teacher and he has never known another school,” said Alspaugh. “He has been a teacher, coach, sponsor, mentor and jack-of-all trades for the past 46 years. He knows where everything is in this school and where it has been and why it is here. “When he was doing his student teaching at MHS in 1967, I was a student in his class, and I never knew that he wasn’t the ‘real’ teacher. When I returned to MHS as the assistant athletic director, I had to evaluate his performance as the girls’ golf coach. It seemed an appropriate time to bring up that ‘B’ he gave me in class instead of the ‘A’ that I’m sure I really should have received, but I really try not to hold 46-year-old grudges.” Alspaugh then listed many of Myer’s activi-

ties and achievements, including, but not limited to, the following: - football assistant coach for one year (1972) - girls’ basketball coach for nine years (1971-1980), and won the first-ever girls’ basketball sectional in 1976 - girls’ and boys’ tennis coach for three years (1973-1976) - girls’ golf coach for 20 years (1976-1995) - ran the first computer program for the largest cross country invitational in the state started the Manchester Alumni webpage and has been responsible for keeping track of alums - has kept the scorebook for basketball for over 30 years and has been the timekeeper for football for over 40 years - was the student council sponsor in charge of Homecoming, as well as a Junior Class sponsor in charge of Prom, for over 30 years - has taken students to Walt Disney World for over 15 years “He is also a member of the Church of the Brethren, where he has been the ‘sound and

in complete isolation, he would set up Skype conferences for my sister and me to talk during homeroom, so that she knew everything was ok. Last summer, when I thought it was a good idea to take Organic Chemistry in six weeks – because I thought it would be easier than taking it in one semester – he laughed at me, then encouraged and mentored me through it when I cried because I had no clue what was going on.” When accepting his award, Myer referred to his strong family background in education, as well as the tight-knit North Manchester community, to explain his extensive involvement at MHS. “Both of my parents, whom I owe so much, were teachers, as are my brother and sister, and between us we have almost 200 years of teaching,” Myer explained. “I’ve been encouraged to keep on until we hit 200, but I’m not going to make it. I student taught at Manchester High School, and after talking with my parents

over the years I realized that this school wasn’t like some other schools, this was some place I could say I wanted to stay. “I’m almost speechless, and for me that’s unusual, but looking back at all of the students I’ve had is incredible. Right now, I have two young ladies whose grandparents and mother I had, so they’re two third-generation students, which means I think it’s time to spend the rest of my time in Disney World. People ask me if I’m going to move to Disney, but I’m going to stay here – this is home. Thank you, I appreciate it so much, and it’s been a great 46 years, to say the least.”

2012 museum fundraising went well

The Wabash County Historical Museum board of directors is pleased with the results of the 2012 Annual Operating Fund Drive, according to Board President Lee Ann George. “The museum relies heavily on local businesses and private donors for its

operating funds each year. Every year we are amazed at how generous our supporters are, and this year was especially amazing,” said George. “Our goal is always to cover 100 percent of our operating costs each year,” said Tracy Stewart, Executive Director. “This year, we came closer than

ever, raising almost $95,000. “I think these results are an indication of the role we play in the community. What people support with their gifts to the museum is so much more than a building or a collection of stuff. They help us run an institution that preserves

the past, and allows so many people to connect with their roots.” Later this year, the museum plans to hold a free Family Fun Day to thank the community for their ongoing support. Plans are to have the event in the summer. More details will be announced once the theme is finalized. George added,

“This year will see new challenges for the museum, including some extensive repairs to the outside of the building. Our

changing exhibits, programming, and just keeping the doors open mean that we will continue fundraising through-

METRO NORTH NEWS: Metro North Elementary celebrated the 100th day of school on Jan. 17. Since the first day of school, students have been counting the days they have been in school. They learned to work with tens and ones through their counting. If you stepped into the school on Jan. 17, you could find students doing a variety of activities revolving around the number 100. Kindergarten students and their teachers dressed up like 100-year-old people. In first grade, you could find students wearing hats with 100 stickers or stamps on them and shirts with 100 smiley faces on them. Many students were moving around the school with glasses that looked like the number 100. Classes worked with tens and ones to make their snacks. They had 10 different kinds of cereal and each child put 10 pieces of each kind of cereal in his bag for a snack. As they got their cereal, they counted by 10’s to 100. Second graders could be found taking a test on 100 addition facts. They also wrote about 100 things they liked and 100 things they didn’t like. It was a very busy 100th day of school at Metro North! THE 32ND ANNUAL Northfield Band Tenderloin dinner will be held on Feb. 2, from 4- 7 p.m. in the Northfield High School cafeteria prior to the boys basketball game against Fort Wayne Canterbury.

Southwood sweeps TRC for first time ever Southwood: 50 North Miami 33 By J.D. Sparks DENVER—With a 50-33 victory in Denver over North Miami Saturday evening, firstyear Head Coach Dallas Duggan guided the Southwood girls basketball team to what no others have in school history: sweep the Three Rivers Conference. Senior Sarah White collected a double-double with 24 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and three steals to lead the Knights. White score 12 to go along with two assists and a steal in the fourth quarter to help Southwood turn a five-point lead after three quarters into the 17-point victory. “I just relaxed and played my game (in the fourth quarter),” White said to The Paper. “I was putting too much pressure on

myself earlier in the game.” While North Miami (4-15) never led the game, the Warriors made it close in the third quarter. The Knights entered the second half up 22-17, but a 6-2 North Miami run put the Warriors within one with 4:55 left in the quarter. Allyson See converted a rare four-point play after a Knight player fouled her on a made 3-pointer, cutting Southwood’s lead to 24-23. Mackenna Brown’s bucket about 90 seconds later again gave Southwood the slimmest lead possible, 26-25. From that point on, Southwood began to take over, outscoring the Warriors 24-8 through the last 11 minutes and 30 seconds. The Warriors also had a chance to possibly take the lead through the second quarter. Southwood took a 16-9 lead into

the second and built its lead to 20-12 with 3:36 left until halftime. Then, the game took a physical turn. Southwood was whistled for seven fouls, leading 14 Warrior foul shots. Luckily for the Knight faithful, North Miami made six of them and Southwood clung to a 22-17 lead. In addition to the school’s first outright TRC title, the victory over North Miami also gave the Knights a 14-4 record, marking the most wins in school history. Senior Anna Marie Farlow, who collected eight points, two rebounds and two steals before fouling out early in the fourth, said these accomplishments felt special. “It’s just crazy. These last four years have been crazy,” she said. “We started to go up and get batter the last three years, but never got over that hump. “Our school has never gone undefeated in the TRC. All that hard work over the last four years has paid off. It’s fantastic, considering our school hasn’t had a lot of success in girls basketball. It’s special.” White agreed: “It feels awesome. I’m really proud of the girls and we couldn’t have done it without each other and without Coach Duggan.”

Greg Miller named new MHS football coach

By Eric Christiansen NORTH MANCHESTER—A Squire is coming home. 1992 Manchester High School graduate Greg Miller was named the new head football coach for the Squires Jan. 22 night at the Manchester Community Schools Board of Trustees monthly meeting. Miller will also be teaching math at Manchester Junior-Senior High School starting in the 2013-14 academic year. Miller has spent the last nine years as the head football coach at North Miami High School, but knew the move to MJSHS was the right one. “I’m really excited for the opportunity to come back home,” Miller said. “It brings back a lot of memories with Coach (Al) Bailey and all the attributes and life skills that he taught. It’s the love of the game. “I’m a little nervous about a new change in life, being at North Miami for 15 years as a teacher and these last nine years as a head coach. I’ve built a lot of memories and relationships there,” he continued. “It’s scary moving on, but it’s an exciting ad-

venture that we are willing to take on as a family. With (daughter) Grace starting school soon, and once this job came open, I knew it was the right thing to do. We prayed long and hard about it, and it fell into place.” As a head coach, Miller has a career record of 52-47, with a 4524 mark over the last six years. But his coaching career started long before that. Miller started coaching in 1993 as the eighth grade assistant coach at Manchester Junior High School. In 1994 he was named the head coach for the eighth grade, and became the freshman coach at MHS in 1996. During that time, he was a volunteer assistant coach for the Squire varsity team working with the offensive line. In 1998, Miller moved on to North Miami as an assistant varsity coach, before going to Northwestern High School as an assistant varsity coach there. In 2004, he was named the head varsity coach at North Miami High School, where he had been teaching since 1998. As a head coach, Miller won a

sectional championship in 2012, was named TRC Coach of the Year in 2007, as well as Miami County Coach of the Year. He coached eight All-State players, one Colts Academic Team member, and five Academic All-State Players. In 2012, his team had an overall G.P.A. of 3.52, something Miller takes pride in. “In comes down to I’m a teacher first, and I hope to impact kids in the classroom, and through that, it progresses to the football field,” Miller said. “I’m hoping to build young men in this community that we can all be proud of. Wins and losses will come and go, so it’s about the young men that we are going to be building. “That’s the way we ran the program at North Miami. We want kids who are productive people in the community, good husbands and fathers, and I think our record that was has been pretty successful. And through hard work, we are going to win some games.” Miller met with his team Wednesday, and is looking for-

ward to getting started right away. “I’m passionate about the game of football and teaching young men, and hopefully I present that,” he said. “There is a whole new realm of building trust and letting them know you are and advocate for them, both in the classroom and on the football field. Through that, we talk about the brotherhood and building a team as teammates, not individuals. “We have to put all the different ages, backgrounds, and skill sets to build is team that is going to be successful,” he continued. “I think it’s been proven from what we’ve done at North Miami, and we’re excited to do it here at Manchester.” Miller will also be involved with football of all ages in the North Manchester Community, which he feels is an important ingredient leading into high school. “The youth program is already in place, starting at flag football,” he said. “To have a program already in place is great, and I’m really excited about the program. I think Buddy Brunn has done a great job

GREG MILLER

of running it, and I’m going to take advantage of all of the different facet for Squire football, from youth to junior high to high school. “Manchester is a special place, and has a lot of meaning, because I’m a Squire,” Miller added. “It’s good to be home. It’s good to be back where I have roots in the community where I am going to teach and coach.”

Josephine Likens, 104 Member of Eel River Church of the Brethren Jan. 26, 2012

Josephine Estella Likens died of respiratory complications Saturday, Jan. 26, at 5:50 a.m., in Timbercrest Healthcare Center, North Manchester. Josephine was born in Fairmount to Cyrus Melbourne and Caroline (Gemmer) Garner. The family moved to a small farm in Monroe Township in 1918, where she lived for the

remainder of her life. She had celebrated her 104th birthday with some 50 family and friends on the 12th of December. Her husband of 61 years, Colonel B. Likens, a well-known schoolteacher and Principal in Sidney and Monroe Township schools, preceded her in death in 1991, as did a sister, Margaret Whitehead, and a half-sister, Ethel Davis. She was a renowned seamstress and musician. She and Colonel had sung at numerous weddings, funerals and other occasions, and she was a long-time pianist/organist at the Eel River Congregational Christian Church, Spring Creek Church of the Brethren and the Eel River Church of the Brethren. For decades she played the piano for singing “America the Beautiful” at the Kosciusko County Retired Teachers Association Meeting. She graduated from Sidney High School in 1927 and was proud of the fact that she had never missed attending the annual Alumni meeting. She had been a school secretary at the Sidney High School and Whitko Consolidated School for many years, president of the Eel River Ladies Aid and Grand Marshall at the Sidney Days Parade. Her love of life, her sense of humor and winning smile will be long remembered by family and friends. Josephine is survived by two sons, Gene (Phyllis) Likens of Clinton Corners, NY and Stephen (Elsa) Likens of Cerritos, CA, 7 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Services were held Tuesday, Jan.29, at Eel River Community Church of the Brethren, Silver Lake. Pastor Andrew Sampson and Rev. Byron Miller officiated. Burial was at Hillcrest Cemetery, Pierceton. For those who wish to honor the memory of Josephine Likens, memorial contributions may be made to the Timbercrest Senior Living Community, PO Box 501, North Manchester, IN 46962.

FSA administers these programs. The extended programs include, among others: the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Payment Program

The DCP sign-up period will end on Aug. 2, 2013; the ACRE signup period will end on June 3, 2013.
