RICHVALLEY ELEVATOR was recently purchased by Bex Farms, Kalamazoo, Mich., which is listed online as a commercial equipment rental/leasing business. According to Gary DeVore, manager of Richvalley elevator, business for the elevator will remain the same and should not have a noticeable affect on farmers bringing grain into the terminal. Repeated interview requests to officials at Bex Farms, listed on file at the Wabash County Courthouse, went unanswered. (‘the paper’ photo)

The Indiana adult smoking rate has dropped to an all-time low of 23 percent.* This means there are 208,000 fewer smokers in Indiana than there were in 2001, and, those who do smoke are now smoking less. In fact, the per capita cigarette consumption in Indiana has declined by 40 percent over the last 10 years.** Despite that, Indiana still remains among the highest smoking states in the country. There is more work to be done for sure.
