Hospital prepares for switch of Wabash County Inc. June 6, 2018

In three weeks, the new Parkview Wabash Hospital will open. At 6 a.m. Wednesday, June 27, the new hospital, located at 10 John Kissinger Dr. will open and the old facility at 710 N. East St. will close. The move is taking places in phases,

Parkview Wabash President Marilyn Custer-Mitchell told The Paper of Wabash County. “Many administrative offices will move June 4, and another set of administrative offices will move June 15,” she said. “In between the fourth and the twenty-seventh, when we move patients, there is some other smaller moves. We’re taking some of our kitchen equipment,

so we’ll move some of that one day. There are a lot of move dates, if you will, but the big patient move is the twenty-seventh. “So if a patient walks into the ER at 5:59, we’ll take care of him here. If they walk in at 6, we’ll ask them to please drive to the new facility, assuming they’re not in an emergency situation, then we’ll be taking care of them.”

When the last emergency room and inpatient rooms are moved, all of the patient care areas will be closed. “We’ll move the last pieces of equipment, then we’ll lock the doors.” The move will actually begin about 4:30 a.m., Custer-Mitchell said, as some pieces of equipment are scheduled to be moved then.

The Wabash County Council tabled a resolution Tuesday, May 29, that would have moved the county a step closer to purchasing a facility which would house the County Health Department as well as the county morgue. County Commissioner Barry Eppley addressed the council regarding the resolution. He explained that the County Probation Department recently added four new probation officers and are cramped for space in their office quarters of the County Judicial Center. Since the probation department needs to be under the security that the County Judicial Center provides, moving that department out of the center is not feasible. The next idea is to move the County Health Department to a location outside of the Judicial Center, and pair it with a new county morgue. Parkview Wabash’s new hospital will not house a morgue, so the thought, according to Eppley, was to find a facility to purchase that could house the morgue and the County Health Department. The Commissioners landed on the facility at 1024 Manchester Ave., which currently houses the doctors’ offices of Family Physicians Associates. The price tag is what seemed to turn council members off. The cost to purchase the 6,500 square-foot facility would cost $350,000. (continued on page 4)

WHS celebrates Class of 2018 By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com Wabash City Schools ushered in a new group of graduates, taking in a pair of eloquent speeches from valedictorian Gage Miller and s a l u t at o r i a n Courtney Eschelman during a Friday, June 1, graduation ceremony at the Honeywell Center. Miller wasted no time thanking his parents and teachers Nico Macaluso, Lauren Millspaugh and Jeanie Cooper for their positive influence as he’s navigated his prep

years. “Everyone supporting me helps give me strength,” Miller said. “For me, strength is very important because I enjoy challenge.” Miller then described a figure he admires, Charlie Davies, a United States native and professional soccer player. Davies suffered injuries in a severe crash that all but derailed his soccer career, and was then stricken with cancer, forcing him to retire. “In the past year, he has taken significant strides to defeat cancer,” Miller said.

“Davies has shown me what strength is because he defied the odds to fulfill his dreams.” Miller drew inspiration from a quote from Arnold S c h w a r z e n e g g e r, who said “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.” He explained to his classmates that although they may not face the challenges that Davies has had to face, there are challenges that each will face, devel-

oping the skill of persistence along the way. “Each moment where we face adversity is a learning moment,” Miller said. “From a young age I had been told what I can’t do. Each ‘can’t’ to me has been a challenge. I was told I wouldn’t be able to run. Yet, I have played soccer since pre-school. I was told I couldn’t attend UCLA. This fall, I’m attending the nation’s best actuarial school.” In closing, Miller quoted the late Nelson Mandela, who said “Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” “Every time you get knocked down, you have the opportunity to get back up,” Miller said. “To become stronger. We, as a class, all have the capability to do that. As for the future, we graduates are just beginning our journey. On our path through life, we will face many challenges. We will face hardships that could break us down. However, we will overcome it and thrive. Class of 2018: If you think you can, you can, Miller concluded.” With the graduates wrapped up in what the next move is in their futures, salutatorian Eschelman urged everyone to hold on to the memories of their high school days and expressed to her classmates just a few of the highlights that made the Class of 2018’s four-year

Wabash High School valedictorian Gage Miller delivers remarks during the Class of 2018 graduation at the Honeywell Center, Friday, June 1. Photo by Josh Sigler journey through high school a special one. There were numerous accomplishments to be proud of, especially in athletics, Eschelman emphasized. Noah Cressell broke the record for most wrestling wins in a season. Bailey Yoakum scored the most goals on the girls soccer team. Morgan Owens, Alexis Hartley and Jacob Bruss all helped re-write the school record book in swimming. The class of 2018 witnessed the school’s first soccer team and took in the first homecoming victory in 18 years, Eschelman said. “So keep planning for your someday,” Eschelman said. “Go start a new chapter in your life and make it remarkable. Sometimes life has its boring moments. They’re unavoidable. We will have to make sacrifices because that is what adults do. But, when your someday comes,

make sure that you are satisfied with it. If all you did with your time was sacrifice and plan, then will there be anything worth looking back and remembering?” Eschelman too quoted an inspirational figure, choosing the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, who said. “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach early and without fear for newer or richer experience.” “You have to take risks and you have to step out of your comfort zone,” Eschelman urged her classmates. “If you live your life by the book and do everything the right way, then you will never get to savor the taste of those experiences.” E s c h e l m a n pressed her classmates to keep a sense of humor but also a rebellious heart, and to make a life that will make their children and grandchildren proud.

“Their eyes would fill with wonder and admiration, for in that moment they would decide to live their life as courageously as you,” Eschelman said. “All those risks you took, all those memories made, and failures you suffered would pay off right then. That is what fulfillment feels like.” “So yes, it’s important to plan for your someday,” she continued, “but don’t forget that that someday will be here before you realize. Life is happening all around us and it won’t stop for anyone, so we have to reach out and grab it before it runs right past. “We’ve made some great memories during our time together. Ten years down the line, at our first class reunion, I hope that we will all be proud of the people we have grown to be. “Class of 2018, here’s to our someday,” Eschelman concluded.

Hospital prepares for switch

...continued from the front page A part of the move preparation has been coordinating ambulances to help transport patients. “We’re working with Parkview Ambulance, as well as Wabash City Fire ambulances,” she said. “We’ll just bring a patient down, load them up and take them over and admit them to the new place. We’ll have information for the family. So if the family is here, or the day before even, we can give them information and say your family member is going to be in this room. When you walk into the door, someone will be there to meet you and take you there in the new facility.” The length of the patient move, obviously, will depend on the number of inpatients at the hospital that morning. The average daily census is 6 ½ people,

Custer-Mitchell noted. “But we can go anywhere from 19 patients to two or three,” she said. “It just depends. We hope we don’t have a real high census (on moving day), but if we do, we do. The other thing about 6 a.m. is there is typically there’s not many patients in the ER, if any. But, the other morning at 6 a.m., the place was hopping. We just had a lot of patients. “Again, we’ll just deal with what we deal with.” Prior to the move day, staff members will be undergoing a lot of training at the new facility. “We had what we called a communication week,” CusterMitchell said. “We have new desk phones … and we got trained on those. “The clinical staff have a Vocera phone, it’s a smart phone

that only works in the building. It’s connected to our electronic records, so they can do some documentation, they can scan things, they can text and contact other people. So, if we need respiratory to come up to the phone for something, we don’t have an emergency but we need them to come up quickly … they contact them, that person gets the text and they go up to the floor.” There is a lot of new equipment at the new facility as well, and one week will be dedicated to new equipment training. “A day in the life are the next education weeks,” CusterMitchell continued. “That’s where a coworker will go in at least one day and practice, like a reallife situation. We’ll have a code on the floor, or we’ll have a fire drill, we’ll have tornadoes. But we’ll

also have something as simple as, we need to start an IV on this patient. Go find your tubing. Go find your IVs. Simple things like an IV back, now our staff knows where it is. Over there they don’t know and they’re going to have to go looking. “We do what we call scavenger hunts where you have to go find all these things in your department.” Another practice week is called the patient experience week. “We’re just working with staff on how to say things,” CusterMitchell said. “We’re walking people where they need to go. How to phrase things if you don’t know where something is. We don’t want staff saying, ‘Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know where anything is here.’ We want our staff to make sure our patients are having

Photo by Joseph Slacian the best experience possible.” No training is scheduled for about 10 days before the move. That will allow staff members who would like more time to learn about the new facility a chance to do so. In between the training sessions and the move, the staff will host a series of tours for the media and the public. In addition, there was an invitation-only open house and an open house for staff members and their families. The tours will highlight new equipment at the facility, as well as new offerings, such

as the new OB department. One of the pieces is a pneumatic tube system that allows for quick delivery of specimens and other information, made possible through a donation from the Parkview Wabash Foundation. Another new piece of technology are beds that speak to the patients. “The bed talks to the patient,” according to Cathy Wolfe, vice president of patient care services at Parkview Wabash. “If a patient starts to move, it tells the patient, ‘Do not move.’ It repeats that several times and then activates the alarm. We

have that to help decrease patient falls. “If you have to have the head of the bed elevated at a certain degree level, if the patient tries to move it either higher or lower, the bed will talk to the patient and say, ‘You’re not authorized to make this command,’ or something along that line.” The bed also illuminates the floor at night to help when nurses check on the patient. By doing so, the nurse doesn’t have to disturb the patient. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will likely take place before the actual opening of the hospital.

County tables morgue discussion ...continued from the front page It would cost approximately an additional $400,000 to remodel the building to meet the morgue and health department’s requirements. The building is larger than the morgue and health department need, and Eppley expressed the idea of bringing a drug addiction treatment entity into the fold to help the community and offset some of the cost of the project. Eppley proposed using part of the $1.1 million in the economic development fund and pay it back over time using cumulative capital funds. “The biggest thing for me is we need a health department and we do need a morgue,” council member Matt Mize said. “The big question for me is is there a facility or building that would be less that $1 million? Maybe that group has done that

research, but I haven’t been part of it. So, for them to come to this group and ask for the money, I guess I need more information before I can say ‘yes, that $1 million is the best option for the county.’ The was my hesitation and reservation about that proposal.” After hearing comments from guests and discussion regarding the price tag, the council voted to table the resolution until next month’s meeting, and then voted to create a sub-committee made up of E p p l e y , Councilwoman Lorissa Sweet, Mize, and Councilwoman Barbara Pearson to further study the options at the county’s disposal. The county has arrangements with a local mortuary to conduct morguerelated business, so the sense of urgency has been curbed a bit, even with the

impending closing of the old Parkview Wabash Hospital. “That being said, we do need to be attentive to these needs for the community,” Eppley said. “We need to establish a location for the morgue so the coroner has a place to work, as well as continue to (look for) space for the health department to free up room for the probation department. The measure being tabled Tuesday night represents about the eighth reboot of the project, Eppley said. The group has looked at a number of other buildings, deciding that each one wasn’t going to work for what it is needing. “I’m a little frustrated, quite frankly, that that effort over the last two and a half years wasn’t recognized, or perhaps I didn’t express that adequately,” Eppley said. “But, the urgency is there. The price tag was the

issue. Whether this committee can come together and find an alternative – I’m confident there are other buildings out there. And, I’m confident we can find something that will work. We may be limited by the amount of programming we can provide in addition to the health department and coroner. We need to take it one step at a time. The additional addiction treatment may have to wait.” Also during the meeting, Plan C o m m i s s i o n Director Mike Howard asked the council for an additional appropriation to allow legal counsel to review a unified zoning ordinance for the county, including the towns of LaFontaine, Lagro and Roann. The council approved the request for the additional appropriation of $3,535.

SHS valedictorian shares grandmother’s advice By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Parker Mays, Southwood High School valedictorian, was having trouble thinking of a profound message to leave his fellow classmates. So, he turned to someone close to him, his grandmother, and asked her for advice. “I was expecting a response about how to be responsible with your time or something else we have grown up hearing,” he said during his valedictorian speech at Southwood’s commencement ceremony on Saturday, June 2. “Instead she responded with three

simple words. ‘Just be yourself.’ “Now when I asked her what she wanted to share with us, I hadn’t told her what else I had planned on talking about. But as it turns out, I think it fits perfectly together. We’ve done pretty well up to this point being ourselves so doesn’t it make sense to continue the trend?” Mays said he did some research into being yourself and found a few tips for his fellow classmates. “The first was to get in touch with your inner child,” he said. “I thought this was kind of funny; we are graduating and supposed to be adults now as we go off into the real world, but here I am

saying to get in touch with your inner child.” Children, he said, have a way of being happy in the moment, not caring about what others think. “Don’t get so caught up in the stress and pace of your new experiences that you forget to have fun,” he said. Another tip, Mays said, was to become (continued on page 23)

‘Winners’ get diplomas at NHS ceremony

By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

A group of 75 “winners” received their diplomas Friday night, June 1, at Northfield High School. The “winners,” as proclaimed by valedictorian Jake Fulkerson, were dressed in blue and silver caps and gowns, and were greeted by cheers and camera flashes as they walked across the stage during the school’s annual commencement ceremony. “This class is full of many winners,” Fulkerson said during his valedictorian address. “Fail or succeed, we are going to give this life every-

MHS graduates 118 seniors NORTH MANCHESTER -- After more than a decade of hard work and dedication, another class of Squires completed their education with a

graduation ceremony Friday, June 1. A total of 118 students earned diplomas this year, with nearly all of them attending the graduation ceremony. Remington Trick, Student Council pres-

ident and Class of 2018 valedictorian, welcomed his classmates and their family and friends, and gave the first speech of the night. Titled “No Excuses,” Trick's speech encouraged

his classmates to embrace challenges and adversity. “When life knocked me down, I stood right back up with a fire burning inside of me,” he said, “all because I chose not to make excuses.

Manchester High School seniors await the beginning of their graduation ceremony. Photo by David Fenker Every single person in this room has the power to light that fire within themselves.” Trick's “no excuses” take on life is the product of advice from both his mother, who passed away in autumn 2014, and his father. “My mother expected greatness from me and she raised me to face adversity head on,” he said, “with no excuses. So, instead of remembering and regretting, I chose to honor her and make

her proud. I worked incessantly. There were nights that long after my dad and brother were in bed I was up late studying, reading textbooks, writing essays, and doing math homework. “But, in the end, it was all worth it because the hard work paid off.” Trick said one of the lessons he learned from his father also boiled down to “no excuses.” “When I would incorrectly assume something and say,

'Dad, I thought you were going to pay for that,'” he said, “or when I would push it a just a little bit too far with my little brother and I would say something like, 'I didn’t think he was gonna end up chasing me with a knife,' I would always hear the same thing: 'No son, the thing was you weren’t thinking.' “I heard the resounding answer then and I’m still hearing it to this very day.

subsequently take up cigarette smoking. Gov. Eric Holcomb has challenged Indiana to lower its infant mortality rate, as Hoosier kids infants are 24 percent more likely to die before their first birthday than the national average. Smoking is a significant contributor to problems arising during pregnancy and in the child’s development and health. Almost 1 out of every 7 pregnant women in Indiana smokes during pregnancy, a rate that is 68 percent higher than the national average. Smoking while pregnant is associated with a higher risk of miscarriage, low birthweight, premature birth, some birth defects and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Our state’s struggle with opioid use disorder is also taking a tremendous toll on our babies and children. Newborns exposed to opioids in utero have a 60-80 percent likelihood of suffering from Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, a condition which impacts the child’s long-term growth, behaviors, language abilities, cognitive development, and academic achievement.

number of children being placed in foster care. The Indiana Department of Child Services reported a sizable increase in the number of substantiated cases of abuse or neglect, with over half of the removals due to parental substance abuse. Parental overdoses have both an immediate as well as a cumulative impact on children in the home. Children double their likelihood of developing addictive disorders when they come from homes where one or more adults abuse alcohol or drugs. While we do not yet know precisely how many Indiana children are living with adults struggling with opioid use disorder, we do know that these children are suffering and that immediate interventions are needed. The prevalence of substance use disorder has captured recent headlines, but Indiana’s struggle with obesity is a longstanding problem that we have yet to effectively address. Indiana is the 10th worst state for adult obesity rates, and 1 in 3 Indiana youth ages 10-17 are overweight or obese. According to Julie Burns, CEO of Jump IN for Healthy Kids, in central Indiana the obesity/overweight

rate is 25 percent higher than the national average, and three times higher than the goal of 15 percent. Burns stresses the importance of focusing on young children, as habits around food and physical activity are developed by age 5. Healthy kids grow up with greater chances to be healthy adults, and are more likely to become productive and successful citizens. Far too many Hoosier children face the issues caused by ACEs, smoking, opioid use, obesity and are lost due to infant mortality. We support and applaud the efforts of the Alliance for a Healthier Indiana. Local events to improve Hoosier health are taking place across the state, and we encourage everyone to find a way to contribute by going to www.healthierindiana.org. By collectively dedicating ourselves to these efforts, and by taking a multi-generational approach, we hope to increase the health and success of all Indiana residents.

Fourth grade essay writers honored By The Paper staff

Several Wabash County fourth grade students were recently honored for their efforts in the annual Wabash County Historical Museum Fourth Grade Essay Contest. The contest is open to all fourth graders within the county, including students who may be homeschooled or not a part of a public or private school. One winning essay was selected from each participating school, and that student received a $50 scholarship in memory of Dr. Robert Beckett in their college savings account. Additionally, an overall first, second and third place essay was selected at each school, and those students received a gift card to the Museum Store. “This essay contest was a passion of Dr. Beckett’s as he worked to inspire young minds through local history and we are honored to continue the program and to be able to provide funds into college savings plans in his memory,” said Mitch Figert, President & CEO of the Museum. This year students from O.J. Neighbours Elementary School and Sharp Creek Elementary School participated in the contest. Numerous essays were submitted on a variety of local history topics including Charley Creek Gardens, family farms, Stockdale Mill, Crystal Gayle, and more. Each essay offers a unique view of the historical account through the eyes of a fourth grader. “Reading these essays is always a joy, especially to see how these young minds get excited about local history and their local communities,” said Shelby McLaughlin, Associate Director at the Museum.

WE have many highly decorated artists, athletes and students. “We have students already running their own businesses. Kyle Sparks Full Vehicle Detailing, KR Swine, Schuler Productions, Treska Brothers Excavating and Trucking, which I still think should’ve been Treskavation.” The class has left its mark on Northfield. “And I’m not talking about the carvings on desks, or the stickers put under desks,” he said. “Sorry Mrs. (Shelly) Myers, you’re gonna want to check under your desks. We had nowhere else to put them.” Fulkerson also thanked a good many individuals in his speech, from all his teachers from Metro North Elementary School through Northfield High School. “All of my teachers have had a huge impact on me,” he said. “I would like to say thank you if I’ve ever been in any one

of your classes. I know my classmates and I haven’t always gotten along the best with you but thank you for all the time and effort you put in every day. Thank you for pushing us all toward success.” He also thanked Jesus for blessing him “in every aspect of my life,” as well as his church family, noting “they’ve been a great supportive community. I’ve met so many good and interesting people.” He also thanked his classmates, noting they were “persistent” if nothing else. Fulkerson also thanked his siblings and, most importantly, his parents. “My biggest supporters in my life have been my parents,” he said. “From kindergarten through high school they were always there. They came to all my football games and they always pushed me to be my best. “They pushed me in school, telling me, ‘Jake, you better bring that A to an A-

plus or you’ll be sleeping in the doghouse tonight.’ Needless to say, I spent many nights in the doghouse. “They always encouraged me to do my best and not worry about the results. You can only control the effort you put in. I am truly blessed to have such a loving and supportive family.” Salutatorian Natasha Leland likened life to the weather. Some days are sunny and warm, but occasionally a storm will come along and deter our plans,” she said. “When they do, there are steps that can be taken to prepare.” But, she continued, there are steps that can be taken to deal with struggles in one’s life. “Sometimes troubles arise right from under one’s nose,” Leland said. “They’ll be right in front of you, and there is nothing to do but attempt to avoid getting sucked deeper

into them. It’s how the problems are handled that determine the outcome.” Throughout life, she said, unfortunate things arise. “That being said, there are some potential threats that can be avoided,” Leland said. “The choices you make have a significant impact on your life, and they could ultimately lead to multiple storms. SO, if there is a potential threat, be cautious and weigh the options of possible outcomes.” She also urged her classmates not to hide from their problems. “They won’t go away unless you face them,” Leland said. “You can vent your stress to people, but don’t do it constantly. Just talking about your problem doesn’t fix it. Don’t let them affect your relationships, work ethic or daily routine, even if those troubles come from relationships, work or daily routine. Be careful what you say and how you act (continued on page 18)

and events for the family to partake. The theme for the 2018 Ashland Days is “Flashback” “Flashback to the days of the LaFontaine Festivals of old,” the festival’s webpage on visitw ab a s h c o u n t y. c o m says. “Get out your leather jackets, hoop skirts, bell bottoms and neon t-shirts and celebrate your favorite decades of past festivals.” Several fan favorite events are returning to this year’s festival. Registration for the Seth Zahalka Memorial Car and Bike Show will start downtown at 10 a.m.

Saturday. Other returning events include the Pet Parade (6 p.m. Friday), Rubber Duck Race (1 p.m. Saturday), Tractor Show (5 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday), and the Water Ball Fight (3 p.m. Saturday). There are also some new events for 2018, including the Fire Department’s Obstacle Course (11 a.m. Saturday) and Laser Tag. Laser Tag opens at 10 a.m. Saturday in CookCrumley Park and is free until noon. The price to participate after noon will be $5 per person.

Lindsay Rice School: Manchester Parents: Doug & Lisa Rice Future Plans: Attend Taylor University to major in Theatre Arts 4-H Club: Chester Champs 4-H Projects: Sewing, Personality, Photography 4-H Grows Time Management:Participating in 4-H has helped Lindsay learn the importance of time management. “Sitting down at the sewing machine for the first time and now being able to sew an entire dress by myself shows how much 4-H has helped me learn and grow. 4-H has taught me time management skills and has helped me become more creative in many aspects of my life.” Lindsay values the memories 4-H has brought her as well. “One of my favorite memories is being able to work beside my grandma at the sewing machine as she was sharing and teaching me her knowledge. I also enjoyed spending time with my dad as we walked through the fields searching for the best species of each crop to take to the fair. These memories and skills will stay with me for the rest of my life.” Lindsay will take her time management skills and memories of 4-H with her as she goes to college.

Victor Treska School: Northfield Parents: Kim & Gary Treska Future Plans: Continue operating his business, Treska Bros. Excavating & Trucking 4-H Club: Lagro Speedy Clovers 4-H Projects: Swine, Beef, Goats 4-H Grows Entrepreneurship:Victor reflected, “4-H has taught me entrepreneurship because I’ve had to buy and sell my pigs, cows, and goats and pay for the supplies, feed, and facilities to go along with them. I’ve had to learn how work with real money and professionally talk to adults and other kids during the process. It was a good feeling each year when I left the fair with some extra money to help cover costs of the upcoming year.” Victor’s entrepreneurship skills have heavily influenced his decision to start his own company, Treska Bros. Excavating & Trucking during high school. These skills will continue to come in handy as he looks to expand this business.“Entrepreneurship is something I will do every day in the years to come as I develop, organize, and manage my business and make it my full time job,” Victor explains.

Musical guests on the main stage will include Brandon “Elvis” Howard at 5 p.m. Friday, Steele Rail Band at 8 p.m. Friday, and WEHR Rock of Elders at 7 p.m. on Saturday night. “There’s always a chance you’ll have a good time,” festival consultant Chris Hensley said. “You never know if you don’t try.

Chase Guenin School: Southwood Parents: Jeff & Michelle Guenin Future Plans: Attend Trine University to pursue an engineering degree. 4-H Club: Future Farmers 4-H Projects: General Crafts with Legos 4-H Grows Creativity:Chase grew his creativity through General Crafts and Lego projects in 4-H. “In General Crafts, I always had to think about the ways of how to make something. One year I had to make a water fountain, and in order to make it we had to dig a hole in the ground and put cement into it,” Chase says. He continues, “In Legos, there have been several occasions where I had to think and redesign something because it didn’t work. I had to try once and try again.” One of Chase’s favorite 4-H memories is winning County Champion for his Lego project in 2016. Chase believes creativity will help him in his future career. “I plan to major in engineering, which of course requires a lot of creativity and redesigning. And I think it will help me understand the projects I’ll have to do and see them in different ways that most other people wouldn’t see.”

Michelle Hunt School: Northfield Parents: Vicki Hall & Jim Hunt Future Plans: Work at Strauss Veal Feeds 4-H Club: Lagro Speedy Clovers 4-H Projects: Swine, Beef, Veal, Poultry 4-H Grows Time Management:“l’ve found that when I manage my time better, I can spend more time on my projects and with my animals. The more time I spend on projects, the less mistakes I have.” For her future jobs, time management will help Michelle efficiently complete all the tasks she needs to get done, be on time to the places she needs to go, and have time for both her job and events and life outside of work. “My favorite part of 4-H was my experience in the Round Robin show. Working with new animals was a fun learning experience. I learned a lot about how to show each animal and the different parts and personality traits of different animals. I believe that the reason I made it to the Round Robin show in the first place had a lot to do with my time management and the amount of time I spent during the year learning about and working with my veal cow.”

Million Meal Movement helps ISP feed those in need From the ISP Indiana State Troopers will be better equipped to provide assistance when dealing with people in need. Million Meal Movement provided more than 300 meal packets to the state police that contain enough nutrients to feed a family of four. The packets will be made available to

troopers throughout the state to carry in their patrol car. In 2007, Dan and Nancy Hintz began Million Meal Movement with a two-fold vision: feeding the hungry and teaching the importance of volunteerism. As Million Meal Movement has grown, we have carried out this vision by empowering volunteers of all ages as we make a tangible impact together.

“We founded the organization because we wanted to be able to offer a volunteer experience to children that their parents would enjoy just as much,” Nancy Hintz said. To date this movement has packaged more than 28,800,406 meals. To find more information about this organization you can visit their website at http://www.millionmealmovement.org/

URBANA NEEDS A COLUMN WRITER FOR THE PAPER: After writing this column for 19 years, I am retiring the end of June and moving to Bloomington. Writing this column has been my hobby and passion since starting in 1999.

You have to be willing to take whatever life

the world could have prepared me for it. I saw sunrises float over an endless range as far as my eye could see, and heard ponderosa pines shiver in the crisp mountain air. As the days passed by, the trek became more than just a series of steps to an end-- it became something deeply moving and spiritual for me.” The shirt Reichenbach decided on, which he displayed for his classmates, featured mountain peaks backed by an orange and yellow sky, with the words “The mountains are calling, and I must go.” “This was it,” he said, “because after

Philmont, I still feel that I need to go back.” His words of encouragement for his classmates called them to pay attention to what he called their “defining experiences.” “The world, and its experiences, are calling you, and you too must go,” he said. “When we pay attention to the moments that are given to us, and when we focus on what about those moments truly matter to us … we have the opportunity to grow and learn what calls us in life. “So pay attention, listen for what is calling you, and when you find it, be true to it.”

While they were amusing, to me they looked fake. “You see, this trip was a turning point for me. I had never seen the Rockies before, let alone hike them, and nothing in

SHS valedictorian shares grandmother’s advice ...continued from page 7 her, we have nothing to lose but our chains.” But graduation doesn’t signal an end to learning, he continued, noting “there is more to … education than the classroom.” “If we do not realize this, I fear that we might grow cold and callous, as a matter of sitting in our own naivete,” Warren said. “We might become the villains that tempt others into that same destruction, the villains our parents have kept us from being, the very vil-

lains we know to avoid and strive to condemn. We cannot become these hypocrites. This great world of ours has an infinite number of lessons to offer, if we may step out of our lairs to go and discover them. It is neither a burden nor a disintegration of savvy to find this Earth out for its secrets. What lies before us has much to offer in the ways of learning and responsibility, if we open our minds and hearts to both; for that we must make this world our friend, not our

fiend. The world must be our oyster, and never our obstacle. A special moment during the commencement ceremony took place when Lauren Rich crossed the stage to receive her diploma. Rich’s father, Indiana State Police Master Trooper Detective David Rich, was shot and killed in the line of duty when she was 7. As she crossed the stage, 39 police officers from six different departments stood at attention in the audience, show-

ing her and her family that they will never forget the sacrifice they have made. Before the end of the ceremony, the
