Eight-year-old faces cancer with courage, positive attitude by Danielle Smith Karsyn Bratch is a beautiful, intelligent, eight-year-old student of Sharp Creek Elementary. She enjoys arts and crafts and spending time outside; her defining trait is her optimistic and magnetic personality. When first meeting her, you would never guess the trials that she has been faced with throughout the last four years. Karsyn’s mother, Linette Burchett, first noticed something was amiss when they moved to a new house. “She would walk by me and call for me because she wouldn’t see me or she would run into walls because she wasn’t familiar with the area,” Burchett said. This prompted her to take Karsyn to an eye doctor, who sent her to a specialist, who sent her to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis. An MRI was performed, and on Aug. 2, 2007, she was diagnosed with what doctors believed was an optic gleomia. The gleomia was inop-

erable, so they were unable to biopsy it for identification. Within a few days of the diagnosis, doctors placed a port on Karsyn and began chemotherapy, but the results were not what they were hoping for. In January 2008, Riley referred Karsyn to Bloomington for a new type of radiation called Proton Beam R a d i o t h e r a p y. Normally there is a six- to eight-month waiting list for this treatment, but due to Karsyn’s age and situation she was rushed in. “At the time there were only three facilities in the whole United States doing this. I can’t talk them up enough. The doctor would spend an hour and a half in our office visits explaining everything to us and talking to Karsyn,” Burchett said. During the seven weeks of proton radiation, Karsyn and Burchett lived in Bloomington, coming home on weekends. “Once we had that

Her mother, Linette Burchett (third from left), describes her as possessing a “spirit that people only wish they had.” They are pictured with (from left): her sister, Jordan Bratch, 12; her stepfather, Bill Burchett; her step-nephew, Caidan Burchett, 3; and her stepsister, Kassie Burchett, 11.

They continued administering regular MRI check-ups

with Karsyn. Everything seemed to be stable and the doctors removed the port in May 2009. However, on Sept. 10, 2009, Karsyn began another uphill battle.

“She had a mass that showed up on the right side of her head and partially up the left side. They were baffled as to what it could be,” Burchett said. She went on to

explain that this disputed the doctors’ former diagnosis of an optic gleomia, because optic gleomia’s do not typically spread. From that (continued on page 6)

Formal charges pending in suspected methamphetamine lab seizure Five Wabash County individuals were recently arrested on charges of violating the State’s pseudoephedrine law. All five individuals – Anthony Rasmussen, 31; Carrie Fox, 27; Todd Hartzler, 48; Amber Conner, 33; and Bobby Garrett, 34 – allegedly purchased over the legal limit of pseudoephedrine. Indiana statute provides that an individual cannot purchase over 3.6 grams per day, or over 9 grams in a 30-day period. Pseudoephedrine is

the main ingredient in the manufacture of methamphetamine. During the investigation, information was obtained that there was possibly a

methamphetamine lab in a garage located at a residence in which Garrett was currently living. Officers from the Wabash County

Sheriff ’s Department approached the owner of the residence, and obtained consent to search the garage. The owner of the property was not

aware that such activity was occurring and cooperated fully with the officers. During the search, officers located chemicals and supplies that

are associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine. A small quantity of methamphetamine was also recovered. (continued on page 6)

Pinkerton wins highest Chamber award

Kimberly Pinkerton K i m b e r l y Pinkerton, Wabash County Chamber of Commerce president, was recently honored as the Indiana Chamber Executive Association’s Chamber Executive of the Year. This award was initiated to recognize the exemplary performance and leadership of an Indiana chamber executive. Criteria for the award include experience, training and education, ethical conduct in dealing with others, leadership, and an abiding desire to advance the profession of chamber management. This marks the 10th year that the Indiana Chamber Executive Association (ICEA) has honored an excellent leader in the industry. Pinkerton was nominated by Mark Sapusek, Wabash

County Chamber Board Chair. “There has never been a chamber executive more deserving of the ICEA Chamber Executive of the Year Award than Kim Pinkerton,” said Sapusek. “Kim has provided outstanding service and leadership to our organization throughout the 2010-11 fiscal year, and her tenure as Chamber President. “The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce and the Wabash County community are well served by Kim in her role as chamber presi-

dent. The Wabash County Chamber of Commerce does more programming for its members and the community than most other Chambers that are twice our size. Without Kim’s leadership and dedication it is unlikely many of these programs would be able to be undertaken in the professional fashion that we are used to. I am very proud of Kim and of our chamber staff. This is a great award and great recognition for the outstanding job that the Wabash County Chamber of Commerce does every

day.” In nominating Pinkerton, Sapusek sited her outstanding leadership, innovative programming and business growth during her 12-year tenure at the Chamber. She is a pivotal leader, dedicated to collaboration within the chamber, her community and at the regional and state level. She has earned respect from Board members for successfully leading the chamber during the recent economic downturn and has kept the chamber fiscally responsible dur-

ing these trying times. Pinkerton works alongside her board, fellow staff member and volunteers to bring programming opportunities to the membership that rival those offered by many larger chambers. She has a great ability to motivate volunteers and hold board members accountable. She values professional development for staff and volunteers as key to succeeding in the chamber industry. Pinkerton is often the first point of contact that many new chamber execs call upon due to her willingness to help peers succeed. She recently participated in the creation of training videos for new chamber executives as well as an

audio training CD for Glenn Shepard Seminars, which provides resources for chamber professionals. Pinkerton has led sessions at ICEA conferences, always ranking high with the program content delivered. Shelli Williams,

ICEA president, added, “Kim excels in defining what a chamber of commerce professional should be. She has an outstanding history of leading the Wabash County Chamber and she is a resourceful mentor to help others raise the professional bar.”

Committee: “I believe Indiana truly has the best opportunity in the nation to pass comprehensive education reform that puts students first, and [the recent] votes on collective bargaining and accelerated graduation do much to advance that goal. “With the House E d u c a t i o n Committee voting [recently] to send SB 575 on to the full House for second reading, Indiana is now one step closer

to a system that gives school leaders the flexibility they need to build and lead their instructional staff and drive student performance. The bill protects teachers’ rights to collectively bargain the issues that should be in contract – salaries, pay scales, and wage-related benefits – while making sure contracts aren’t bogged down by provisions that distract from schools’ core mission: teaching chil-

dren. “I applaud Chairman Behning and other committee members for working collaboratively with a number of stakeholders to address concerns with some of the language while continually focusing on putting students first. This important bill will ensure teachers and school leaders can work together to make the best decisions on behalf of Hoosier students. “Likewise, I com-

mend the committee members for supporting SB 497 to provide an accelerated option for Hoosier students who are ready to pursue their post-secondary academic endeavors early. “Moving forward, education stakeholders must continue working with policy makers to recognize and reward great educators, empower local school leaders and give parents a voice.”

Serious problem rising for vulnerable Hoosier children The child abuse and neglect rate in Indiana increased 24 percent in one year to 15.6 confirmed cases per 1,000 children under the age of 18. In most cases, parents are the perpetrators, meaning most victimized children cannot rely on their primary caregivers as the case goes to court. Indiana law requires adult representation of all abused and neglected children in court

and the child welfare system. Professional attorneys can provide this assistance, as can volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). CASA volunteers gather information about the child and the case, draft written recommendations in the best interest of the child, and then advocate for the child in court hearings and child welfare meetings. The CASA keeps the child informed of decisions, monitors the implementation of court orders and case plans, and informs the court of any new information regarding the child. According to the National CASA Association, about 80 percent of CASA recommendations are approved. Cases involving a CASA more frequently reach permanent resolutions, result in more services for children and parents, and end with children spending less time in long-

term foster care. In 2009, Indiana CASAs provided more than 500,000 volunteer hours to nearly 17,000 children. However, last year a waiting list included 4,544 children in need of a CASA volunteer. Think about that: abused and neglected…and on a waiting list. CASAs must meet certain requirements, but special expertise or academic credentials are not necessary. “Having the heart to care, having the heart to set aside yourself for someone else’s benefits, that is what it takes,” said Ebony Chew, who received CASA help as a teen mom in Evansville and will earn her nursing degree in May. “Everything else can be taught.” Including safety. Indiana Supreme Court employee Leslie Rogers Dunn oversees the state’s CASA program and says CASAs train on safety in the midst of

difficult family situations. “In the worst case scenarios the CASA never meets with the parents face-to-face,” Rogers explained. Frank West, a CASA volunteer in Grant County, said his initial nervousness during his first case quickly subsided as he addressed the child’s needs. “If it hurts your heart when you hear about a kid being abused, you could be a CASA,” West said. “If you’ve got four or six hours a month to spare, you could be a CASA. And if you want to see that your community, your town, could be a better place, you could be a CASA.” Indiana has certified CASA programs in 70 of the state’s 92 counties. Find a link listing your local CASA program: www.childadvocatesnetwork.org. The problem is increasing, but so is the opportunity to help.

Eight-year-old faces cancer with courage... Continued from front page

point on, Karsyn became a medical study. “I’m so tired of going to Riley and hearing them say, ‘this is a unique case, this is something different’,” Burchett said. The doctors did a biopsy of the mass, which came back unknown. They learned from the biopsy that the cancer cells were growing at a slow rate and that they were mixed with scar tissue, which they explained as Karsyn’s body attempting to fight off the cancer. At that point, they labeled her cancer as astrocytoma, a general type of cancer for children. Following this diagnosis, Karsyn began another round of chemotherapy. “The first time she

did chemo, you would have had no idea she was on chemo. She didn’t have any hair loss or appetite suppression. Nothing. We would sit at Riley with IV’s in her all day, getting her chemo, then she would go to Matter Park that night and win a hula hoop contest,” Burchett explained. The second round of chemo would prove to be much different. Karsyn suffered from every type of side effect except hair loss. Her weight plummeted to 48 pounds and she required numerous blood and platelet transfusions. Through all of this, Karsyn maintained her perpetually positive attitude, rarely complaining. The chemotherapy made for a long, hard year for Karsyn and her family, but it seemed to be working. After an MRI showed that the mass and the tumor on her optic nerve had reduced in size, the doctors elected to end the chemotherapy a few rounds early. “In October (2010),

when she did her MRI, they told us everything was stable, so we left thinking, ‘Ok this is done, it’s over, we can breathe’,” Burchett explained. But yet again, in January 2011, Karsyn found herself at the bottom of an uphill battle when her mass and the tumor on her optic nerve seemed to be again enlarging. Initially, the doctors planned to begin another round of chemotherapy, but then changed their minds and decided to “wait it out” for three months to see how the mass and tumor behaved. “On one hand it was good because she wasn’t going to have to go through chemo, but on the other hand she was having ongoing issues that we just had to stand back, watch and hope for the best,” Burchett said. Ultimately, Burchett decided she was displeased with the decision and her persistence paid off. The doctors agreed to move Karsyn’s next MRI up from the middle of April to the beginning of

March. This marked the first time that an MRI was performed on Karsyn’s spine. Her head appeared to be stable, but her spine showed abnormalities. Following this MRI, the doctors discussed Karsyn’s case at the Tumor Board and decided to operate on Karsyn to remove the abnormalities from her spine if possible. This surgery was performed on March 24 and the surgeon discovered that the mass traveled all through Karsyn’s spine. She was unable to remove all of it, so she removed a large piece for biopsy. The doctors have a guess as to the type of cancer it might be, however, Karsyn’s cancer is not even behaving typical of that type of cancer. If it is this particular type of cancer, only eight other children have had it. The surgeon informed Burchett that most of those other children were not even alive by the time the cancer progressed to the stage Karsyn’s is currently at.

“So we’re awaiting the biopsy results. I don’t want to rush them because I hope that they come back with something and it’s not what they think it is,” Burchett said. “I’m just afraid because once we get the results there’s no ignoring what is ahead of us.” Burchett has also consulted Boston Children’s Hospital, and they have reached similar conclusions as Riley has. Upon the return of the biopsy report, Karsyn’s records will be sent to St. Jude Children’s Hospital for review. “Hopefully, in between all of the places, they will come up with something,” Burchett said. The only noticeable result of her illness is that Karsyn is legally blind. She has done well to adapt to this complication by learning Braille. “She’s done well at school, she’s up where she should be academically. The school has been great as far as not letting her fall behind. I couldn’t ask for a better support sys-

tem there,” Burchett said. Burchett has also been extremely pleased with the services of WabashMiami Area Program. Karsyn lives with her mother; her sister, Jordan Bratch, 12; her stepfather, Bill Burchett; and her step-nephew, Caidan Burchett, 3. She also has a stepsister, Kassie Burchett, 11. Some kids in Karsyn’s situation might take advantage of the leniency they are afforded as a result of their illness, using it as a crutch; but Karsyn’s family strives to maintain a sense of normalcy. “Everybody that meets Karsyn falls in love with her. She makes it easier to deal with all of this because her spirit is just unbelievable. She doesn’t complain. Most adults haven’t been through half of what she’s been through. She’s got a spirit that people only wish they had,” Burchett said. She went on to highlight Karsyn’s selflessness. “She made a wish the other day that anybody that is

blind could see, not just that she could see, but anyone could see. She’s just not selfish, she’s got the biggest heart.” In response to this hardship, Becki Wagoner has organized ways to assist Karsyn’s family. One way is by providing a meal for the family, to help in this way contact Becki on Facebook or by calling 260-571-2988 or 260-782-2192. Money for travel and other expenses can be sent to Karing for Karsyn, Concora Credit Union, Factory St., Box 217, Wabash, IN, 46992. Wagoner is also enlisting support for a fundraiser that is currently in the planning stage; contact her to get involved. Wagoner summed up her experiences with Karsyn by saying, “If you could meet this little girl and be around her for just 10 minutes, she has more spirit than 10 children. She never gives up. She inspires me to do greater things in my life than I have ever done before.”

The investigation is ongoing, and more arrests are anticipated. Formal charges will be pending in reference to the

methamphetamine lab that was seized during this investigation. “I realize that pseudoephedrine is a

very reliable cold and allergy relief medicine and that most all that purchase pseudoephedrine are not

using the medicine to manufacture methamphetamine,” said Wabash County Sheriff Bob Land. “It’s too bad that all the citizens in the State are put through inconveniences to buy pseudoephedrine for legitimate purposes, and it’s just because of the meth problem we have in the

State.”

Drive Now Auto Sales aims to rebuild customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; credit

SANDRA NEAL will be managing the Wabash branch of Drive Now Auto Sales, 563 N. Cass St., Wabash. They are open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (photo by Danielle Smith) by Danielle Smith Drive Now Auto Sales, 563 N. Cass St., Wabash, opened on March 28 as a buy here, pay here car lot. The lot is affiliated with Mike Anderson auto group, which

includes 10 franchise stores in the northern Indiana area. Drive Now Auto Sales began when Mike Anderson inherited a buy here, pay here entity with Hendrickson Motors,

Logansport. They began to attend conferences and formulate a buy here, pay here system that offers customers an opportunity to rebuild damaged credit.

The company evaluated different locations for the new branch and decided on Wabash for several reasons. They hope the new branch will enable them to tap into the Huntington market as well as service their North Manchester clients. They also hope to give Wabash residents a new option for car purchases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that the people here need an option,â&#x20AC;? Ed Rodriguez, general manager of Drive Now Auto Sales explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economy has really hurt people, but good people are still good people. They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad just because their credit is bad.â&#x20AC;? At the heart of

Drive Nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit program is a powertrain limited warranty that comes with each vehicle, free of charge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a typical, American-made product that warranty is probably $1,500 to $2,000 and we give it to you absolutely free. As long as you are abiding by the criteria weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll replace your engine or transmission, no questions asked,â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez said. He went on to say that only a handful of claims had been denied compared to over 100 that had been paid. Another unique option provided by Drive Now Auto Sales is a five-day exchange program. Any vehicle can be returned to the

car lot and exchanged for another vehicle within five days of purchase for any reason. Other benefits to buying at Drive Now Auto Sales include flexible payment options, automatic payment and a 125point dealership quality inspection. Rodriquez told The Paper that a typical customer experiences a 40-50 point jump in their credit score after completing Drive Nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of people that go through the program one time and then are able to buy a car at the retail level, a newer

Whatever the reason there is something very personal about holding hands; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple gesture that

can communicate assurance, love and security all at the same time. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great song lyric that says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone needs a hand to hold on toâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? I believe there are times in life when that is very true; I also believe everyone needs a hand holding on to them. Isaiah 41:10 says:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid, for I am with you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.â&#x20AC;? The next time you see someone holding hands, or you feel a hand pressing into yours, take a moment to remember whose hand is holding

Brown also received permission for Sandy Beeks to attend a conference in May, given by the computer-aided dispatch vendor. C o u n t y Coordinator Jim Dils relayed a request from Mary Ellen

Clark, director of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), to put a display on the Courthouse lawn, during the last week of April, advertising the need for CASA volunteers. He reported that 40-45 children are still waiting for an advocate. The commissioners approved this request. Dils also reported that the remodel of the commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting room is going well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; drywall is currently

being hung. Wabash County Auditor Jane Ridgeway presented an additional procreation request for $164,000 for the Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pension Fund. This total includes actuarial fees and bank fees. The commissioners signed the legal notice

of the polling locations for the May 3 Primary Election. A surplus property auction will be held June 17, 4 p.m., to sell property from various county offices. More information about this auction will follow at a later date.

Coats, Wyden team up to make tax code work for businesses, families

While a partisan battle over cuts to government spending threatens to shut down the federal government, a bipartisan pair of senators took a page from President Reagan’s book recently and offered legislation that experts say will reduce the federal budget deficit by growing the economy. The “Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2011” – being offered by U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and

Dan Coats (R-Ind.) – would simplify the tax system, hold down rates for individuals and families, provide tax relief to the middle class and create incentives for businesses to grow and invest in the United States. Wyden-Coats updates the tax reform that Reagan signed into law 25 years ago by streamlining the tangled web of nearly 10,000 exemptions, deductions, credits and other preferences cur-

rently cluttering the U.S. tax code to create a simpler and fairer system for American workers and businesses. “Cutting spending isn’t the only way out of the budgetary hole. Congress can grow its way out and right now, the federal tax code is doing anything but promoting economic growth,” said Wyden. “Senator Coats and I want a tax code that encourages businesses to devote less time to tax avoid-

ance and more time to growing their companies. That means eliminating incentives for shifting jobs and capital overseas and creating incentives for investing in the United States. It means creating an understandable and predictable tax environment for small businesses and it means eliminating loopholes and special breaks that allow one group to pay less than another. It also means simplifying the individual tax code so that Americans can find better things to do with their time than fill out tax forms. Because unlike health reform, I think you would be hardpressed to find any American who loves the tax code they have.” “I am pleased to join Senator Wyden in this bipartisan tax reform package. America’s fiscal house is on fire and it will take both reductions in government spending and a progrowth agenda to put out the flames and restore our economy,” said Coats. “By revisiting Ronald Reagan’s vision to reform and simplify the tax code, we can encourage job investment here at

home, create more American jobs and make our country more competitive in a global market. “Every year, Hoosiers and Americans across the country spend far too much of their time and hard earned money trying to navigate the convoluted tax system,” added Coats. “This proposal simplifies the tax process to a one-page form making it easier on working families.” For individuals: Wyden-Coats reduces the number of individual tax brackets from the current six to three: 15 percent, 25 percent, and 35 percent and eliminates the Alternative Minimum Tax completely. Middle-class and low-income taxpayers will benefit from Wyden-Coats’ near tripling of the standard tax deduction, which will not only reduce tax bills but relieve Americans of the stress and responsibility of maintaining the records and receipts needed to document itemized deductions. These simplifications alone will make it possible for most taxpayers to file a simple one-page 1040 form that most Americans

will be able to fill out in less than an hour. Moreover, by eliminating tax breaks and loopholes that allow some Americans to pay less than others, Wyden-Coats is able to hold down rates for everyone. According to the Tax Policy Center, most families making up to $200,000 a year will pay the same or less in taxes under Wyden-Coats than they do today. For businesses: Wyden-Coats takes steps to level the playing field and make investment in the United States more attractive to businesses of all sizes. To encourage small business growth, more than 95 percent of small businesses – those with gross annual receipts of up to $1 million – will be able to permanently expense all equipment and inventory costs in a single year. Wyden-Coats also makes American companies more competitive by reducing the top corporate tax rate and replacing the existing six corporate rates and eight brackets with a single flat rate of 24 percent. Currently, U.S. corporations pay the second highest tax rate among industrialized

countries. Under Wyden-Coats, companies investing in the United States would pay less than they would in Canada, Germany, France and many other U.S. trading partners. More than 6.3 million new jobs were created in just the two years that followed the 1986 tax reform. The Heritage Foundation predicted comparable results when it evaluated an earlier version of the legislation, which Wyden authored with former senator, Judd Gregg (R-N.H.). The Heritage Foundation found that the legislation would create 2.3 million new jobs a year for Americans while cutting the federal deficit by an average of $61 billion a year. Similarly, the Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI published a paper concluding that such an approach would ‘create nearly two million jobs on a net basis and add an extra $500 billion to GDP by 2015.’ The Alliance estimated that the revenue generated by that added economic activity could reduce the debt by $1.2 trillion over the coming decade.

American Red Cross encourages blood donations for spring Although your sites may be set on warmer locales for spring, you can bring sunshine and warmth to your life by simply volunteering to give blood or platelets through the American Red Cross. “We know very few things compare to a burst of tropical sunshine after a winter like this one,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the IndianaOhio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “But we hear time and again about the

good feeling people get when they realize they can help save a life by donating blood.” Every day of every week, people need blood for emergency and ongoing medical care. It’s a need, Red Cross officials say, that doesn’t take a break, despite the season. About 39,000 blood donations are needed daily by hospital patients undergoing treatment for serious diseases like cancer and sickle cell, for surgery, and for trauma and burn care. The challenge, Red

Cross officials say, is that while blood needs are constant, blood donors sometimes take a break, particularly during peak travel times like early spring. Blood donors who would otherwise give may wait until later to make and keep an appointment. Popular donation sites like schools, colleges and universities also typically avoid scheduling blood drives during spring break times, which can further erode blood donation opportunities. The Red Cross depends on stu-

dent-age blood donors for about 20 percent of the community blood supply. “Collecting blood from volunteer donors isn’t something that can be put on hold or caught up on later since the need for blood is constant,” said Whitman. “We’d like everyone who can to consider donating blood now or in the next few weeks to celebrate spring. It could be a great way to renew yourself, and to bring the gift of life to someone in need.” The next American Red Cross blood drive

in the area will be April 28, from noon until 6 p.m., in the gymnasium at Manchester Church of the Brethren, located at 1306 Beckley St., North Manchester. To schedule an appointment to donate please call 1800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org for more information. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), meet weight and

height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to

donate blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate.

Hands of Hope seeks public input during “Reshape the Future” campaign Dear editor, “Reshaping The Future – Honoring The Past”, while it is the theme for this year’s National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 10-16, locally I am using that title as Hands of Hope strives to better serve Wabash County. Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service Society, Inc. has a long history of serving victims in Wabash County. Honoring the Past: Wabash Women’s Outreach in 1984 began as a volunteer group to meet the needs of victims of domestic and sexual violence. This group of dedicated volunteers served the community selflessly until 1994. In April 1994, Wabash Women’s Outreach contacted Hands of Hope (then Women’s Services) to provide intervention programming in Wabash County. So, from April 1994 to the present day, Hands of Hope, then Women’s Services, has filled the gap. Initially with a part-

time advocate, eventually being able to have a full-time advocate. Honoring the Past: In 2000, Hands of Hope added a prevention component to the programming offered in Wabash County. Since that time a part-time person has provided educational sessions to youth about healthy relationships, respect and dating violence. Now, it is time for Reshaping the Future. I would like the community’s input on how Hands of Hope, a division of Family Service is doing providing critical services in Wabash County. I also want to know what else we can do to better serve domestic violence, sexual violence and stalking victims in Wabash County. This is where each of you reading this article come into play. I would encourage you to go to www.famservices.co m and click on the Hands of Hope Services in Wabash County survey to complete the brief

electronic survey. The survey will be available to complete until the end of April. If you don’t have access to a computer, but would like to complete the survey give me a call at 765-662-9971 Ext. 123 and I will be happy to mail you out a survey. As part of the survey, you will have the opportunity to give us feedback and ideas on how we can better reach victims or educate youth. All surveys can be completed anonymously or if you would like me to contact you for a lengthier conversation, include your name and contact information and I would be happy to do that too. And, if this editorial prompts you to get further involved, we are currently looking for a few good men and women to serve on an advisory council – let us know that too. Hands of Hope/FSSI is a United Fund Agency. Linda Wilk Hands of Hope Director

American Red Cross encourages blood donations for spring break Although your sites may be set on warmer locales for spring break, you can bring sunshine and warmth to your life by simply volunteering to give blood or platelets through the American Red Cross. “We know very few things compare to a burst of tropical sunshine after a winter like this one,” said Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the IndianaOhio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “But we hear time and again about the good feeling people get when they realize they can help save a life by donating blood.” Every day of every week, people need blood for emergency and ongoing medical care. It’s a need, Red Cross officials say, that doesn’t take a break, despite the season. About 39,000 blood donations are needed daily by hospital patients undergoing treatment for serious diseases like cancer and sickle cell, for surgery, and for trauma and burn

JOSEPH KNAPP (left) observes as 14-year-old Corey Taylor (right) leads a warm-up exercise during a basic karate class at Knapp’s studio, located at 1160 N. Cass St., Wabash. Knapp comes to Wabash after teaching karate in Kokomo and has been involved with martial arts since 1985. He is a retired fighter and has also trained fighters. “In my classes the level of students varies,” Knapp said. “We focus a lot on posture, body control, and technique. We also work on identifying where we are striking and why.” Knapp, a 3rd degree black belt, mainly teaches karate and sword arts, but other classes are offered at the location, including: kung fu, medieval combat arts, and belly dance. The facility is open Monday - Friday, from noon to 10 p.m. (photo by Shaun Tilghman)

care. The challenge, Red Cross officials say, is that while blood needs are constant, blood donors sometimes take a break, particularly during peak travel times like early spring. Blood donors who would otherwise give may wait until later to make and keep an appointment. Popular donation sites like schools, colleges and universities also typically avoid scheduling blood drives during spring break times, which can further erode blood donation opportunities. The Red Cross depends on student-age blood donors for about 20 percent of the community blood supply. “Collecting blood from volunteer donors isn’t something that can be put on hold or caught up on later since the need for blood is constant,” said Whitman. “We’d like

everyone who can to consider donating blood now or in the next few weeks to celebrate spring. It could be a great way to renew yourself, and to bring the gift of life to someone in need.” The next American Red Cross blood drive in the area will be April 28, from noon until 6 p.m., in the gymnasium at Manchester Church of the Brethren, located at 1306 Beckley St., North Manchester. To schedule an appointment to

donate please call 1800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org for more information. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), meet weight and height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate.

THANK YOU TO DONNA RUSSELL for finishing my columns and submitting them while Marvin and I were in southern Texas. It is good to get away but always good to come home. LADIES NITE OUT CLUB met at Modoc’s Market, Wabash, for lunch and a short business meeting on March 16. President Helen Dawes opened the meeting by reading the thought of the month, “The only one who can smile when things go wrong is the repairman”, and a saying, “If you see

someone without a smile, give them one of yours.” Carolyn Everest read Psalm 121 and an article entitled “His Hands” for devotions. Esther Terrel led in singing the song of the month, “On the Banks of the Wabash”. The Wabash River has been in the news lately because of the flooding in southern Indiana. Each member told how they were getting ready for spring or what they remembered about Modoc in answer to the roll call. The officers for 201112 will be the same as 2010-11. Virginia Bozarth and Carolyn Everest will make the club books for next year. Mary Jane Wendel recorded the reading points and conducted the Social

It was noted that the Ladies Nite Out Club members always repeat the Pledge of Allegiance at each meeting which some noted is not always the case in some schools.

these. On April 18, at 7 p.m., in the North Manchester Junior High Auditorium, the North Manchester Lions Club will be having a program about the Indiana Organ Procurement Organization (IOPO). The speaker will be Kandie Quick-Egner, an IOPO technician. The Indiana Organ P r o c u r e m e n t Organization (IOPO) is the nonprofit health service dedicated to advancing organ, tissue, and eye donations throughout Indiana. The IOPO has a wonderful website that gives many stories about those who have been on the giving and/or receiving end of donations. One of the stories is about a man from Peru whose son-inlaw donated a kidney and who one year later received a lifesaving kidney from the IOPO. The community is

If you would like more information about the meeting or the Indiana Organ P r o c u r e m e n t Organization, call Marie Quick at 260982-8252. SHARP CREEK WILDCAT PRIDE WINNERS drawn on March 31 were Kaci Conrad who shared one of her word cards with another student during a word game. Kaci was “caught doing good” by Mrs. Vanlandingham and received a Wildcat Pride sweatshirt donated by the PTO. Faye Satterthwaite picked up paper towels from the girls’ bathroom that were all over the floor. Fay was “caught doing good” by Mrs. Schenkel and received a t-shirt donated by Gorman Center for Orthodontics. APRIL DATES FOR SHARP CREEK: April 18 - Doc Doc Goose program (see details below); April 19 Great American Shake-Out’s National Earthquake Drill (see details below); April 21 - Talent Show at 1:15 p.m.; April 22 -

PTO meeting/Talent Show at 7 p.m. DOC, DOC, GOOSE is an optional program for classes based on the old-fashioned nursery rhymes of Mother Goose who went to medical school and opened up a clinic in Nurseryland. In the play the poor nursery rhyme characters are plagued with freak accidents! GREAT AMERICAN SHAKE-OUT DRILL: On April 19, Sharp Creek and other schools across Indiana are being asked to participate in an earthquake drill. “It’s an effort between the Department of Homeland Security and Indiana Geological Survey to increase awareness and preparedness. Students will be taught what to do in case they experience an earthquake.” Educational Outreach Coordinator Walter Gray, from the Indiana Geological Survey, states, “All we know is that we’ve had earthquakes in Indiana in the past, and we’re more than likely going to have them in the future. It is important for us to be aware that it’s

potentially a problem. If you’re not prepared, then the event becomes an even greater disaster than what it should have been.” Wabash County sits at the north end of the New Madrid Fault, which stretches to the southwest. “In the Midwest, the geology is very consistent and not as broken as in California. Here seismic waves can travel much further without losing much energy. An earthquake in Missouri may cause devastating effects in Indiana.” URBANA YOKE PARISH: Those serving during the 9:30 a.m. worship service on April 17 are: Worship Leader Brian Chamberlain; Head Usher - Dan Eads; Acolytes - Leah and Ella Gatchel; Nursery Attendant Connie Winters; Greeters - Orville and Martha Chamberlain; Liturgist - Cathy Gatchel; Altar Flowers Katie Leland; Organist Janene Dawes; Pianist - Nancy Miller. On April 21, a Maundy Thursday service will be at 6 p.m. at St. Peter’s Parish Hall. Easter (continued on page 15)

narrows south of Lagro, the Salamonie State Forest, and the Salamonie Reservoir area. This year, we are inviting vendors to set up at this event. This will be a different plan than at our Christmas in a Canal Town festival in December. All vendors will be outside and will need to provide their own tents, tables, chairs, etc. Electricity will be available. Setup will be in the log cabin area on the east side of town. Booth charge will be $10. Vendors may begin setup at 10 a.m. We would like for all vendors to be set up by 12 p.m. The carriage drivers usually go for their countryside rides in the morning, so there are not that many people around town at that time.

WITH 16 GO GREEN STAMPS the Postal Service™ celebrates its green leadership and raises awareness of easy low-cost and no-cost actions everyone can take to improve the environment. Go Green stamps are Forever® stamps, always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® price. Many of the

tips offered on these stamps, such as turning out lights when leaving a room or riding a bike instead of driving, are things we may be doing already. Others, like composting, may require more of a commitment. No matter what we choose to do, it’s amazing how taking small steps such as the ones depicted in the stamps can add up to big savings in energy, resources, and costs.

pointment as well. He stated that, “in spite of the state’s lack of ability to protect all Hoosiers in Indiana, Wabash County needs to step up to the challenge. There is no reason for Wabash County not to benefit from clean air and be protected from the secondhand smoke related diseases.”

Gray added, “Those that work in a tobacco smoke environment need to tell their employers to adopt a smoke-free air policy. We all need to contact our local government officials to let them know that Wabash County supports a smoke-free policy that will protect everyone in Wabash County

from the dangers of secondhand smoke in public buildings.” The County can work together to improve and protect the health of every community by advancing the quality of life through limiting everyone’s exposure to secondhand smoke.

Savannah Seyer, daughter of Nathan and Stephanie Burke, is a junior at Manchester High School. She is a member of Key Club, Dicantanti Choir and the Junior Board of Directors at Crossroads Bank. She has attended Terri Eckert School of Dance for 13 years and is employed at Portside Pizza and Tiki Hut Tanning Salon. She was recently inducted into the National Honor Society. Hoosier Girls State is designed to educate young women of Indiana of the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of citizenship. To be eligible and qualified, girls must be in the upper half of their class academically, be interested in government and have leadership abilities. They shall show respect to the U.S. flag and have a love for God and the country. This year’s delegates are sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary Post #286, North Manchester.

Despite months of effort by lawmakers, thousands of smokefree advocates, and hundreds of businesses, local coalitions and health organizations throughout the state, the Indiana Senate Public Policy Committee failed to pass House Bill 1018, the smoke-free air legislation. Further, Committee Chair Ron Alting, R-Lafayette, refused to hear amendments that would have put bars and taverns back in the bill to strengthen it and protect a greater number of Hoosier workers from the effects of secondhand smoke in the workplace. The following is a statement from Danielle Patterson, chair of the Indiana Campaign for Smokefree Air: “Today is truly a devastating loss not only for the thousands of Hoosier workers who are exposed every day at work to the harmful effects of secondhand smoke, and not only for the two-thirds of Hoosiers who support statewide smoke-free air, but for public health policy in general. Senator Alting stood at a unique point in Indiana’s public health history. He had the power, entrusted to him by his own employer – the people of Indiana – to profoundly improve the quality of life for countless Hoosiers from now into the future by protecting workers in bars and restaurants from secondhand smoke. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, House Bill 1018 had been hijacked by wellfinanced special interests, to the point where it really does nothing except protect the status quo. It is our hope that the irony is not lost on the taxpayers who are shouldering the burden of more than $390 million in secondhand smoke-related health care costs each year, and the complete lack of evidence that allowing smoking provides any economic or fiscal benefit to businesses.” “We are not giving up. We know that smoke-free air is the only way to protect workers from exposure to secondhand smoke, and we will continue to fight for a strong, smoke-free air

As pastors, we want to share the hope of Jesus with the Wabash community, and would love to have a full crowd on Good Friday to worship the Lord together as we remember his sacrifice on our behalf.” An offering will also be taken to help with W.A.M.A.’s benevolent ministry to the Wabash community.

Basketball, drama, high school angst brought to HU stage for annual theatre summer youth camp

The Huntington U n i v e r s i t y Department of Theatre announces the 2011 theatre summer youth camp production, “Disney’s High School Musical Jr.” The students of East High are back in school after summer vacation and everyone is talking about their summer adventures. In Ms. Darbus’s homeroom class, Troy bumps into Gabriella, the girl he met and sang karaoke with while vacationing with his family. After a run in with Darbus, the entire homeroom class gets assigned to detention and must

help with putting on the upcoming high school musical. Sparks fly and tensions rise as everyone at East High pressures Troy and Gabriella to “Stick to the Status Quo” and urges them not to audition for the school musical. But Troy and Gabriella “Break Free” from the peer pressure and end up discovering their love for the stage, and maybe even for each other. Children and youth entering grades kindergarten through senior may register for the summer camp. The campers meet four hours a day, five

Sports Shorts Apaches rally late to down Warriors 7-6

by Shaun Tilghman The Wabash Apaches were still looking for their first win of the season as they hosted the Wawasee Warriors on April 7, and the home team just wouldn’t be denied as they came from behind in the bottom of the seventh to win 7-6. Wawasee’s Cody Blunk started things off with a single then got to second on a passed ball, but he would eventually be tagged out during a rundown between second and third. Jordan Schmitt walked before advancing all the way to third on two different wild pitches. Wabash pitcher Joey Burns didn’t allow anyone to score the runner though as he struck out the next two Warrior batters. The Apaches got off to a good start when Nate Price reached first on an error then advanced to second as Burns was safe at first

due to an error. Andrew Shepherd continued the pattern by getting on base after an error, which also loaded the bases. Sophomore Shea Beauchamp then picked up two RBIs on a double to left field, but he and Shepherd would be left stranded as the inning closed with Wabash up 2-0. After both teams failed to score in the second, Wawasee took advantage as Burns struggled on the mound. He was able to get the first two batters out but followed with two walks and gave up two doubles. Just like that Wabash found themselves down 3-2. The deficit was short-lived however, as Beauchamp and Jack Holley each recorded RBIs in the bottom of the third to retake the lead, 4-3. The Warriors tied the game 4-4 in the top of the fourth and were able to keep the Apaches from cross-

ing home in the bottom of the inning as well. Shepherd took the mound in the top of the fifth and blanked the visitors, while Beauchamp came up big at the plate once again in the bottom of the inning. His fourth RBI of the game gave the home team a 5-4 lead with two innings to play. The score remained the same heading into the top of the seventh, but Wawasee was able to put two runs on the board and take the lead. In the bottom of the seventh, Wabash had two men aboard after both Price and Burns reached, r e s p e c t i v e l y. Shepherd then found the gap between left field and center to record a double, as well as the two gamewinning RBIs. Beauchamp went 3-for-3 with four RBIs to lead the Apaches. Shepherd was 2-for-4 with a double, a

and Price was 1-for2 with two walks and two runs scored. In four innings of work, Burns gave up

four runs (three earned) on four hits and recorded seven strikeouts. Shepherd pitched three

innings and got the win, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and recording six strikeouts.

Wabash Marketplace announces resignation of executive director It is with great regret that Wabash Marketplace, Inc. (WMI) announces the resignation of JP Hall, executive director for WMI. Hall has recently accepted the position of Eastern Region Director for Indiana Landmarks and will be relocating to the Richmond area. Hall was instrumental in numerous downtown projects including enhancements through business façade grants and funding, the organization and publicity of the Farmer’s Market, facilitation of property sales, key marketing campaigns – such as the “Do It Downtown” promotion – and working for the overall betterment of Downtown Wabash. “JP and his family will be hugely missed in Wabash,” said Parker Beauchamp, president of the WMI Board of Directors.

“His service to the organization and the community brought a lot of positive change and momentum to the downtown area.” Indiana Landmarks – Hall’s new employer – is a nonprofit organization that works to defend architecturally unique, historically significant and communally cherished properties. The organization will rescue them, rehabilitate them and give them new purpose – their mission revitalizes communities, reconnecting them to their heritage, and saves meaningful places. Hall’s last day with WMI will be April 25. A farewell reception in honor of Hall and his wife, Jenica, will be held April 20, 5:30-7:30 p.m., at Charley Creek Inn’s Cloud Club in Downtown Wabash. “The WMI Board of Directors invites anyone who would like to

Richvalley UMW held recent meeting CRP program general sign-up period ends April 15 Julia A. Wickard, Executive Director of USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Indiana, reminds landowners and producers that a general sign-up for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) ends April 15, 2011. During this sign-up period, farmers may offer eligible land through their local FSA county office. “This is the 25th Anniversary of the Conservation Reserve Program. During its 25 years of existence, CRP has provided measureable improvements to the environment,” said Wickard. “We want to ensure that all farmers interested in CRP know to contact their local FSA office to find out how they might offer eligible land for

enrollment into this important program that preserves the soil, cleans water and restores habitat for wildlife.” CRP is a voluntary program that enrolls environmentally sensitive lands to be used for conservation benefits. Producers accepted in the program plant long-term, resource conserving vegetative covers in exchange for rental payments, cost share and technical assistance. By reducing water runoff and sedimentation, CRP protects groundwater and improves the condition of lakes, rivers, ponds and streams. Many types of vegetative cover that improve wildlife habitat are available to be offered, making CRP a major contributor to

Modular framing supplier to grow in Whitley County

T-slotted aluminum components and framing provider 80/20 Inc. recently announced it will expand its manufacturing and distribution operations here, creating up to 110 new jobs by 2014. The company, which designs and manufactures modular extruded aluminum framing for a variety of industrial and home-hobby applications, will invest more than $9.4 million to construct more than 90,000 square feet of additional manufacturing space at its Columbia City campus. The expansion follows the company’s 2008 investment of $5 million and 40 new jobs to expand manufacturing and distribution capabilities at the site. “80/20 Inc. continues to prove that Indiana is a place where businesses can grow and prosper,” said Governor Mitch Daniels. “We look for-

ward to this company’s next growth announcement as each one means more new opportunities for Northeast Indiana workers.” 80/20 Inc., which currently employs more than 250 associates in Columbia City, plans to begin hiring additional manufacturing and inventory management personnel later this spring as facility, equipment and process improvements are completed at the site. “Growth in demand for modular framing products has allowed us to expand our operations from a 65,000 square-foot facility in 1996 to over 135,000 square feet now,” said Don Wood, president and chief executive officer of 80/20 Inc. “We are excited, with the help of the state, to be able to further expand our facility as we continue to enter new markets and enjoy great success.” Founded in 1989, 80/20 Inc. was origi-

nally located in Fort Wayne but moved to a larger facility in Whitley County in 1996. The company’s modular aluminum framing components, known as “The Industrial Erector Set,” are configured for safety enclosures, workstations, CNC equipment and exhibits, among other uses. The Indiana E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation offered 80/20 Inc. up to $500,000 in performance-based tax credits and up to $200,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. The Whitley County Council will consider additional property tax abatement at the request of the Whitley County E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Corporation. “The continued expansion of 80/20 in Whitley County speaks to the ongoing strength of our eco-

nomic

Local student awarded CWU to meet May 6 at Bachelor Creek Form 1099 repeal top scholarship great news for Indiana farm families Recent action by the U.S. Senate to pass a bill repealing the onerous Form 1099 requirement is great news for Indiana’s farm families, according to Indiana Farm Bureau President Don Villwock. Repeal of the 1099 provision was a key discussion point when Indiana Farm Bureau leadership met with Indiana’s congressional delegation in March. “This was an unnecessary and burdensome tax compliance requirement that would have squelched job creation and economic growth,” Villwock said. “Farm operations, like many other businesses, are already overloaded with needless paperwork. We are pleased that our leaders in Washington took steps to provide relief. “Indiana Farm Bureau commends both Senators Lugar and Coats for voting

to pass H.R. 4, and we urge President Obama to sign it,” he added. The health care law contains a provision set to begin in 2012 requiring that businesses submit a Form 1099 to the Internal Revenue Service for every vendor from which they purchase $600 or more worth of goods or services. For farmers who buy any number of needed products such as seed, fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, machine parts and dozens of other smaller purchases during a growing season, the proposed 1099 requirement would have been a paperwork nightmare. H.R. 4, passed by both the House and the Senate, would repeal this new requirement.
