Infant grandson of local resident battles rare brain cancer by Danielle Swan DSmith @thepaperofwabash.com

On Jan. 19, 2011, after months of unsuccessful attempts and fertility treatments, Stacy Wolfe of New Mexico, daughter of Tim Butts of Wabash, gave birth to a chubby, blue-eyed baby boy. She and her husband, Jesse, a U.S. Army veteran, named the baby Evan, which means “young warrior”. They would soon learn how fitting that name would be. In the coming months, Evan would exhibit a tremendous amount of strength. In mid-August, Stacy noticed that Evan’s right eye seemed to be wandering, and she immediately sought medical help. What the doctors discovered would turn the Wolfes’ world upside down. An MRI revealed a tumor, measuring three centimeters in diameter, on the baby’s pineal gland. Doctors removed a piece of the tumor for biopsy, and the anxious parents were soon informed that their baby boy was suffering from an aggressive cancerous tumor called pineoblastoma. “Dr. Marchand says it’s very rare and rarer yet in babies,” Stacy remarked in her journal. “Dr. Heideman says in his 30+ year career, he’s only seen four cases.” Doctors informed the couple that, if left untreated, Evan had a couple of weeks to a

couple of months to live, and treatment options are limited for a seven-month-old cancer patient. Radiation cannot be performed on anyone under the age of three, and removing the tumor surgically was not an option because of the location of the tumor deep within his brain and Evan’s age. The doctors’ proposed solution was a chemotherapy treatment, which had shown a zero percent success rate with pineoblastoma patients. Unsatisfied with those odds, Stacy began researching other options. She located a pioneer in the cancer research field, Dr. Burzynski, Houston, Texas, who has an FDA clinical trial open for a revolutionary cancer treatment that uses Antineoplastons (ANP). This treatment uses human proteins to go into the tumor and shut off the replication switches in the cells, causing the tumor to shrink and die. Dr. Burzynski had only treated one pineoblastoma baby, Sophia Gettino, who is now 15 years old. One success story was better than none, and the Wolfes elected to use this option. Stacy had faith that Evan would soon be added to the long list of patients whose lives Dr. Burzynski had saved. “She really had no option because when

they first diagnosed it, they said they could do chemo, but they couldn’t follow up with radiation,” said Stacy’s father, Tim Butts of Wabash. “Basically they would just make him terribly sick before he died.” Stacy had been speaking with the coordinator of the Burzynski Clinic, but when the decision was made and she tried to call, it was only a few minutes after 5 p.m. on a Friday and she could not reach anyone at the clinic. For Baby Evan, every day counted so Stacy and Jesse packed their bags and drove the 1,000 miles to the Burzynski Clinic so they could be there first thing in the morning on Monday. “Evan’s first official road trip is going to be memorable,” Stacy remarked in her journal. “We’re on our way to see the man who is going to cure his cancer.” When they arrived, the Wolfes were informed that the doctor was only seeing current patients and that Evan would have to wait and let another precious day slip by. They were discouraged, but shortly thereafter, Stacy received an unexpected phone call from Jenny Gettino of New York, the mother of Dr. Burzynski’s pineoblastoma success story. “I told Jenny my predicament and she immediately told me

BABY EVAN was diagnosed with pineoblastoma, an extremely rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, in August, at seven months old. He was initially given no more than a few months to live, and he continues to astound as he fights for his life. (photo provided) that Dr. Burzynski had given her his home number and said she was going to call him on my behalf,” Stacy’s journal states. The next phone call was even more encouraging. It was Sophia herself informing Stacy that Dr. Burzynski had agreed to see Evan the next day. “Dr. Burzynski told Stacy right up front ‘I don’t have a track record with this, I only treated one patient, but that patient is starting high school this year,” Tim said.

The next weeks proved to be extremely trying for Stacy. Jesse had to return to New Mexico to work, and she remained in Texas awaiting approval from the FDA and the Internal Review Board so that Evan could begin the ANP treatment. Each long day marked the slipping away of precious time that Evan did not have to waste. “I see Evan’s activity level decreasing every day, he doesn’t laugh much and his smiles are few and far between. I try not to think about it, but these changes remind

me that his prognosis a month ago was a few weeks to a couple months,” Stacy said. While she was at the Burzynski Clinic, Stacy’s family banded together to support her and her son. Her brother, Justin Tobyas of Wabash, and Tim had planned to visit New Mexico during the Labor Day holiday, but after making the 1,300-mile drive to New Mexico, they decided they were needed in Texas to support Stacy and Evan. “Justin and I left the Thursday before (continued on page 10)

Goody’s encourages shoppers to purchase a “bear that cares” to benefit Toys for Tots

Goody’s is spreading a little holiday cheer while giving back to the community this festive season through the sale of their boy and girl-themed ‘Bears that Care’ to benefit Toys for Tots. The plush brown and tan bears are adorned with a holiday scarf and Christmas gift, and from now until Dec. 24, Stage Stores Inc., the parent company of Goody’s, will donate $1 for every bear sold to Toys for Tots.

For those who can’t make it to the store, donating is as easy as visiting Goody’s Facebook page and “liking” the page. From now until Dec. 26, Goody’s will make a donation of five cents for every person who becomes a fan of their page. In addition, all fans of the Goody’s page can register to win up to a $5,000 cash prize. “Christmas is a time of joy and excitement, but many children

don’t have the luxury of waking up to lots of gifts under the tree,” said Andy Hall, president and CEO of Stage Stores Inc., the parent company of Goody’s. “We hope our Facebook contest and holiday bears will provide a way for our customers to make Christmas a little bit brighter for less fortunate children.” Stage Stores will make two separate donations to Toys for Tots this holiday sea-

son. The company will donate up to $150,000 from the holiday bear sales, and up $5,000 from the Facebook contest. The U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community. On Dec. 27, Stage Stores will announce the total amount raised and the lucky prize winner.

cessing was missing. Paperwork submitted showed the deer was a trophy buck. Indiana Conservation Officer Corporal Edward Bollman began the investigation and after contacting the legal owner of the deer stolen learned the deer was a typical 10-point buck with distinctive markings and wounds. Corporal Bollman examined photos of the deer, processing records, and additional information. During the course of the investigation, Cpl. Bollman discovered a 10 point buck checked and logged for processing at another deer processor in Henry County. Records showed the deer was checked by Calvin Ballenger. Examination of the buck led to an exact match with the stolen deer. Security footage showed Ballenger dropping the deer for processing and making arrangements for the deer

to be picked up for mounting. After contacting Ballenger and arranging his pickup of the stolen buck, conservation officers surprised Ballenger upon arrival. During a subsequent interview, Ballenger admitted taking the deer, removing the tags attached by its rightful owner, and making arrangements for the deer to be processed. Ballenger stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to pay the piperâ&#x20AC;? when faced with felony charges for the theft. Fish and game violations can be reported anonymously by calling the Indiana DNRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TIP hotline. Upon conviction, individuals are eligible for rewards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and simple to report a violation. The tollfree TIP phone number is 1-800-TIPIDNR (1-800-8474367). Complaints also can be filed online at tip.IN.gov.

Infant grandson of local resident... continued from front page Labor Day weekend. We made New Mexico late Friday night. Saturday morning we had determined we were going to Houston on Sunday, so there was another 1,000 miles and we got into Houston at 2:30 a.m. on Labor Day,” he recalls. Evan’s condition continued to change. The ANP treatment was continuously interrupted as doctors

worked to keep Evan’s sodium, potassium, hemoglobin and other levels steady. During one particularly serious episode, he was being intubated and suffered a seizure. “They wouldn’t let her touch him, and one of the doctors stepped into the room and held her and that doctor wept bitterly, just sobbed,” Tim said. “I’ve never felt more

helpless or more scared,” Stacy recalled. “I felt sick. He looked so little and alone. I really feared that he would die looking into the face of a stranger, not knowing his mother was only a few feet away and not allowed to touch him.” In mid-October, an MRI revealed that the tumor had grown to 7.5 centimeters. Stacy had spent the prior weeks

learning how to administer Dr. Burzynski’s ANP treatment through a port in his chest, and Evan was discharged so she could continue the treatments at home. In mid-November, an MRI revealed that the tumor had grown during the preceding month. Dr. Burzynski agreed to keep Evan on the ANP treatment for another month, but informed the Wolfes that they needed to start exploring other options. Stacy checked into the possibility of having the tumor surgically removed, but that was determined to not be an option. Doctors began suggesting to Stacy that she consider pain management and end of life treatment for Evan. Stacy’s response exhibits her fortitude and faith, “It is never too late for God to heal Evan, miracles happen and we are waiting and praying for ours. As long as Evan breathes, we have not lost and we will not give up.” On Nov. 29, the Wolfes were told that Evan had anywhere between hours and days to live. A week later, the young warrior astounds everyone as he clings to life. Tim is astounded by the level of courage, strength, stamina, grace and dignity his daughter has exhibited during this grim situation. “I watch in amazement and awe,” he said. “I’m very proud of my daughter and at the same time I’m very humbled. As a grandparent, my heart aches for Evan. He is my grandson. But it’s indescribable to watch one of your children go through this with one of their children. She’s still my little girl and

(photo provided) you want so much to just go in and fix it for them and you can’t.” People from all over the world are following Evan’s story online. Encouragement and support have come in from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Puerto Rico, Hungary, Poland and France. As of Dec. 9, the website had over 16,000 hits. The followers include many in the medical field. “It’s amazing because conventional medicine doesn’t understand Burzysnki or they think that you have to do radiation and chemo, but once they talk to Stacy and she explains to them what her options were, almost without exception, every healthcare professional that she has talked to has asked for the website because they want to follow this story,” Tim said. During this time,

Stacy and her family have asked for nothing but prayers and support, which they have received in massive amounts. “Prayer is what is going to do it. It’s not knowing that God can, but believing that He will,” Tim said. In addition to the worldwide encouragement, Tim has seen an amazing outpouring of local support as well. Many churches and members of the community in Wabash and surrounding areas have expressed great support for the family. “The response from Wabash has just been incredible. People have taken these flyers to various churches, pastors all over town have taken up the call, there are prayer groups, prayer chains,” Tim said. The family has relied heavily on faith to get them through

this time. “Whatever He has in store for Evan and Stacy is what’s best for Evan and Stacy, no matter how much I question that,” Tim said. “God’s plan is always the best, and even though we don’t know it on this side of the grave, and maybe on the other side we won’t either, but there is a reason for this and it’s a good reason because He is a good god and he doesn’t do bad things to good people.” Everyone can join in prayer and express their support for Evan and his family at h t t p : / / w w w. c a r i n g bridge.org/visit/evan0 11911.

Governor Mitch Daniels recently said the state’s fiscal position appears to be getting stronger. As he released the November monthly revenue report, he said revenues are running ahead of projections. The governor also said that as a result of an internal audit, the state has identified funds that had not been transferred from a Department of Revenue account to the state’s General Fund. The computer software error started in 2007 and has affected only estimated payments of corporate income taxes via a payment option

Local firefighter receives award

On Nov. 18, 2011, at 12:19 a.m., Wabash County Central Dispatch received a 911 call from 472 Vernon St., of a fire in the back of the house. There were nine children and two adults residing at the property. Upon arrival, Wabash Fire Department found

heavy smoke and fire visible in the rear of the structure. There was also heavy smoke throughout the house. When firefighters arrived, they were initially advised that everyone was out of the structure. However, the father later advised them that one child was unaccounted for.

Then, Captain Sundheimer thought he heard a child crying. At that point, firefighter/paramedic Adam Copeland made entry into the structure and found fouryear-old Hayley French standing in a hallway off of the living area. She was crying when Copeland

made the rescue, but she was evaluated by EMS and found to be uninjured. On Saturday, Dec. 10, Wabash Fire Department Chief Dean Weaver presented Copeland with a plaque during a surprise ceremony at the North Side Fire Station. Indiana State Fire Marshal James

Greeson approved the award after receiving a nomination letter from Weaver highlighting Copeland’s act of bravery.

Along with his parents, former Wabash Mayor and Mrs. Arvin Copeland, Adam was joined at the celebration by his wife and

two children, many of his fellow firefighters, and Wabash Mayor Bob Vanlandingham.

Sen. Banks determined to eliminate ‘Death Tax’

State Sen. Jim Banks (R-Columbia City) once again plans to introduce legislation phasing out Indiana’s inheritance income tax-also known as the “death tax.” Currently, the tax is levied against the heir who receives the inheritance-not including spouses and charitable organiza-

tions. Phasing out the tax will make Indiana tax code fairer and simpler as well as lift an unnecessary and excessive burden. Sen. Banks initially introduced this bill last session. “Tax rates vary depending on the beneficiary’s relationship with the descendent,” Banks said. “For instance, children are taxed at a lesser rate

than a distant cousin, who would in turn be taxed at a lesser rate than a friend of the deceased.” Indiana is ranked among the worst states in the country for combined state and federal inheritance tax according to data compiled in The Wall Street Journal. The American Legislative Exchange

Council (ALEC) ranks Indiana 50th for high inheritance taxes. Banks said the elimination of this tax could also address

another concern facing Indiana-the number of older Hoosiers leaving the state. “The issue here is envy, not revenue. It is

Specialists in

just wrong, especially at a time when Indiana is trying to convince others that we will honor their investment and pro-

tect their property,” Banks said. Earlier this year, Ohio lawmakers voted to eliminate their “death tax.”

Christmas music and cider to be offered at Old German School

Traditional Christmas music will blend with the spicy aroma of hot cider at the third annual program at the Old German School on Dec. 18, 6:30 p.m. Lighted luminaras will guide the path to the building where the Sharp Creek Singers will entertain, accompanied by guitar and dulcimer. The Christmas story in St. Luke will be read in German, and Melissa Westfall, a sixth-generation descendant of the original Schenkel family, will sing Stille Nacht. The school was built in 1887 by members of the St. Paul Evangelical Church in the German Settlement to teach religion in the German language. After many years of use as a parish hall, the building fell into disrepair. It has now been restored and contains many exhibits, which interpret the history of the German Settlement. The German School is located three miles north of U.S. 24 west of Huntington on the Wabash-Huntington County Line Road or at 3995 N 100 W. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.

Economist: Farmers must manage risk as volatility increases

Crop farming is a risky business, and according to a Purdue Extension agricultural economist, farmers need to successfully manage that risk now more than ever. There are two distinct types of risk farmers need to be concerned with - operating risk and financial risk. Operating risk is what’s associated with grain prices, input costs and yields. Financial risk refers to the way producers finance their business whether through debt or their own equity. Both types of risk have intensified in the last few years as the volatility in commodity markets and input prices has caused grain producers’ profit margins to become unstable. “The volatility we’ve seen in the margins has increased dramatically since the mid-2000s,” Mike Boehlje said. “We had a fairly stable set of prices and, more importantly, costs, for most of the ‘90s and the first half of the following decade. But since about 2005, we’ve had significant volatility not only in prices but also in costs, resulting in a dramatic increase in margin volatility.” During the last

three to four years, farmers generally have seen much higher grain prices. But Boehlje is quick to point out how quickly that changes. “Just look at what’s happened since August of this year to prices,” he said. “We’ve now taken over a dollar off of corn prices and closer to $2 in some markets.” Even with all of the uncertainty, Boehlje said there are strategies to help farmers manage their risk. The first is by locking in margins when both commodity and input prices are favorable. “Margins can be protected by using futures markets or contracting to lock in grain-selling prices and by contracting input prices for fertilizer, seed and chemicals,” he said. Second, farmers need to buy crop i n s u r a n c e . Determining the level at which to insure the crop can be a challenge, but Boehlje said he recommends higher levels of coverage right now because of the volatility. Third, producers need to pay special attention to managing financial risk, especially when it comes to debt. “Be careful with

borrowing money,” Boehlje said. “Now may be the time to pay down a little debt and position yourself to be able to handle this increased volatility by not having as much debt.” For those producers who already have long-term debt, Boehlje suggests taking advantage of historically low interest rates by fixing their loan rates. And, finally, farm-

ers need to use sound operating procedures, take advantage of the best possible seed and technology, and make sure operating costs are under control. “Don’t get lax in cost-control in good times because that can certainly hurt you when times aren’t so good,” he said.

Governor: Indiana in stronger fiscal condition Governor Mitch Daniels recently said the state’s fiscal position appears to be getting stronger. As he released the November monthly revenue report, he said revenues are running ahead of projections. The governor also said that as a result of an internal audit, the state has identified funds that had not

been transferred from a Department of Revenue account to the state’s General Fund. The computer software error started in 2007 and has affected only estimated payments of corporate income taxes via a payment option known as e-check. E-check receipts impacted since 2007 included: FY2007 $4,730,578.05 (1.5 per-

cent of total amount); FY2008 - $29,574,930.01 (9.2 percent); FY2009 $56,243,768.64 (17.6 percent); FY2010 $58,300,950.61 (18.2 percent); FY2011 $139,194,582.51 (43.5 percent); FY2012 (YTD) - $32,148,409.42 (10 percent). “For both these reasons, stronger than anticipated revenues reflecting greater strength in the

Lady Apaches pick up first TRC win over Rochester

ALL OVER IT – Wabash’s Marin Hill, left, and Kyleigh Hampton both go after a loose ball against Rochester. The Lady Apaches upset the #17 Lady Zebras 54-42. (photo by Gary Andrews)

by Gary Andrews The Wabash Lady Apache basketball team was playing their second TRC game of the season Saturday, as they hosted #17 Rochester. The Lady Zebras were coming in with a 5-1 record and were the winners of three in a row. Wabash would defend home turf, upsetting Rochester 54-42. Kelsey Cromer would get things started with a bucket and after a Rochester free throw Kyleigh Hampton nailed a three and Wabash was up 5-1. Rochester’s Rylee Holland would hit a free throw and Alanie Sroufe a bucket and it was 54. The Lady Apaches would then

go on a 12-0 run to make it 17-4. Claire Cromer started the run converting a three-point play, followed by two buckets each from Kelsey Cromer and Hampton. The Zebras’ Abbie Malchow would snap the run but Wabash led 18-7 after one. Kelsey Cromer would hit two free throws to start the second quarter and extend the lead to 20-7. Holland and Raeann Hunter would hit to get the Wabash lead back to single digits at 20-11 before the Lady Apaches went to work again. A bucket from Hampton and back-to-back three-pointers from Charlie Pardo, plus a Kelsey Cromer bucket stretched the lead back to 30-13.

Sroufe would hit the last bucket of the half and Wabash led 30-15. The Zebras came out of the locker room, increasing the full-court pressure and inching their way back to within striking distance, cutting the lead to 38-29 with 3:52 left in the third, forcing Wabash to call time out. After the time out, R o c h e s t e r ’ s Breanne Paulik would hit, making it 38-31. Kelsey Cromer would hit and then was backed up by a huge Kyleigh Hampton three to make it 4431. Hampton would hit again, answered by a Malchow bucket and it was 46-34 after three. The fourth quarter was ball control and defense for

Wabash. The Lady Apaches did not score a bucket in the fourth quarter, but connected on eight free throws while controlling the tempo and milking the clock. The Apache defense held Rochester to eight points in the final stanza to give Wabash the 54-42 win. Leading Wabash was Hampton with 16 points, four rebounds, one assist and eight blocks. Kelsey Cromer had 15 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Claire Cromer finished with 10 points, two rebounds and two assists. Charlie Pardo added six points, while Marin Hill had five and Sarah Puckett had two.

Knights use hot start to down Comets

by Gary Andrews The Southwood boys were playing just their third game of the year and were already short-handed, playing without Shane Smith and Dalton Gentry. Being without two key players you have two choices: feel sorry for yourself or gather the troops and circle the wagon. The Knights circled the wagon, starting the game with a 20-0 run and outshined the

Eastern Comets 71-63. From the opening tip it was all Southwood. Sexton Boggs hit two threepointers and a two, along with a bucket from Grant Keaffaber, to go up 10-0. Jackson Blair then hit back-toback buckets to expand the lead to 140, forcing Eastern to take a time out with 3:42 left on the clock. Coming out of the time out, Connor Hobbs hit a three from the parking lot,

followed by a Blair bomb to go up 20-0. Eastern finally ended the run with 2:14 to play in the first, but the quarter ended with the score 23-5. Starting the second quarter, Eastern came out shooting, hitting three quick buckets, but Southwood answered in the form of a Levi Winget trey and a deuce, and two three-pointers by Hobbs. Boggs would nail another three and the Knights lead

was 19 with 2:25 left in the half. Joey Price kept the Comets in the game with 13 straight points. Winget and Hobbs led the quarter for Southwood with six points each, helping give their squad a 39-26 lead at the break. To start the third, the Comets scored five quick points and cut the lead to 10 before Winget hit a bucket and a free throw and Hobbs nailed a three to put

the Knights back up by 12. Price kept pounding the ball inside for Eastern and two long three-pointers from Breden Gibson cut the Knight lead to five before Hobbs connected on a two and a free throw to increase the lead back to eight with a minute to go. Hobbs capped off the third with a long three at the buzzer, giving him 12 points in the quarter, and securing a 5443 lead for the Knights

a 54-43. The Comets scored first in the final quarter, but it was answered with a layup from Winget. Hobbs hit two free throws, followed by a Keaffaber steal and a lay-up to put the Knights up 14 with 5:55 to play. The Comets increased the tempo and scored on three straight trips to cut the lead to nine – Keaffaber would answer with another lay-up.

Once again the Comets forced the tempo, scoring on several trips before Hobbs nailed a three to stop the run and Southwood led 65-59 with 1:31 to play. The free throw game started in the last minute and Ross Phillipy hit to seal the win 71-63. Leading the Knights was Hobbs with 26 points. Winget added 14, while Boggs chipped in 15 and Blair had nine.

MC seeks 2012 Alumni Teacher of the Year nominations

Manchester College is seeking nominations for its 2012 Warren K. and Helen J. Garner Alumni Teacher of the Year. “Each year, Manchester College has the difficult challenge of choosing just one outstanding Teacher of the Year,” says Heather Schilling, chair of the Department of Education. The task is understandable: Manchester was the springboard for more than 5,500 educators –

almost a third of the College’s graduates. The 2012 Warren K. and Helen J. Garner Alumni Teacher of the Year is currently teaching (preschool 12) and • has made significant contributions to education; • provides exceptional service to the profession; • is deeply concerned for the individual students; • is able to inspire learning. On May 3,

Manchester seniors who are teacher candidates will join their professors and mentors in a celebration of education. They’ll applaud those who will gain licensing after graduation and hear from an expert: the 2012 Alumni Teacher of the Year. More than 200 teacher candidates are currently studying at Manchester. To nominate a Manchester College graduate for the 2012 Warren K. and Helen

J. Garner Alumni Teacher of the Year, visit www.manchester.edu or contact the Department of Education at 260-9825056. Deadline for nominations is March 9, 2012. The 2011 Teacher of the Year was 1974 MC graduate Connie Pipher, an English teacher at West Noble Middle School. The Garners, who have endowed the Teacher of the Year recognition, are 1950

graduates of the College. A member of the Indiana Educator Hall of Fame, Warren Garner chaired the Manchester College Department of Education for more than 20 years and helped rewrite teacher training licensing standards. Helen Garner taught fifthand sixthgraders for 22 years.

ices for people who are currently receiving benefits, like the ability to replace your Medicare card, get or change a password, request a proof of income letter, or check your Social Security information or benefits. You can do these and other things at www.socialsecurity.g ov/pgm/getserviceschange.htm. Happy holidays.

Each child visited several different stations and created a variety of holiday ornaments. Parents are an integral and vital part of the educational program at Metro North Elementary School.

I still share your hopes, and all of your cares, I’ll even remind you to please say your prayers. I just want to tell you, you still make me proud, You stand head and shoulders above all the crowd. Keep trying each moment to stay in His grace, I came here before you to help set your place. You don’t have to be perfect all the time, He forgives you the slip if you continue to climb. To my family and friends please be thankful today, I’m still close beside you in a new special way. I love you all dearly, now don’t shed a tear, Cause I’m spending Christmas with Jesus this year. John Mooney
