Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Dr. David Roe named new Wabash County Health Officer
by Brent Swan Dr. David Roe, a long-time Marion physician, became the Wabash County Health Officer March 1, replacing Dr. James Rudolph. After retiring from practice in 2010, Dr. Roe and his wife began contemplating construction of a home outside of Lagro when he learned of the position. “We had decided we were going to build on the property we had owned for the past 28 years,” Dr. Roe recalled. “We called the County Health Office to speak with Jennifer Scott about a septic system and she said they were going to be without a County Health Officer. I thought it over for a bit and talked to some of our friends, Dean and Kae Gifford, and decided to give it a try.” Born in Alabama, Dr. Roe spent the majority of his childhood in Illinois before attending the University of Illinois where he received his undergraduate degree and a master’s degree in chemistry. Dr. Roe then went to the University of Illinois-Chicago where he graduated from medical school in 1972. “I did my surgical residency at the University of Illinois and spent a year as chief resident there before coming here in 1977 to Marion. I practiced general surgery in Marion until 2010 when I retired.” According to Dr. Roe, the County Health Officer is primarily responsible for overseeing the County Health Department’s staff, as well as overseeing the administration of immunizations and maintaining a medical license to legally sign and validate birth and death certificates. “Within this office, we have Jennifer Scott, who does the Environmental Health certifications for septic systems, to detect contamination of streams, and for CAFO operations, making sure they don’t have any effluent contaminating waterways,” Dr. Roe said. “And she also tests and gives permits for septic systems. They use four or five soil specialists that test the ground – all of that is necessary to ensure you do not get fecal contamination getting back into the water supply.” In addition to Scott’s office, the County Health Department is also responsible for conducting restaurant inspections and certifying food preparation throughout Wabash County, and making sure food is prepared in a sanitary manner. “Lynn Dannacher does the restaurant inspections and has a list of all of the restaurants and food preparation places in the county,” Dr. Roe said. “We oversee any facility that prepares food and have the power to demand something be changed, if needed. Ultimately, we can shut someone down or fine preparers for flagrant violations.” In addition to the Environmental Health and Food side, the County Health Department is most easily recognized as the center for vital records and immunizations. Kathy Carter-Lower and Lynn Ellis are the office administrators in charge of the health office functions as well as vital records. “Anyone that wants a birth certificate or death certificate must come through this office,” Dr. Roe said. “If someone dies, the attending physician would
make the statement that they had died and complete the appropriate paperwork and forms. Records are monitored by the state, and everything is online now. We get a lot of people that come in doing genealogy research, for example someone may want to know birth and death dates or burial locations for their grandparents – we are able to pull up that information for those interested.” The Wabash County Health Department also employs two public health nurses on staff, Taisha Moore and Lori Foust, who take care of the immunizations and conduct various health fairs at the area schools. “They do more than just give immunizations against measles, chickenpox, and mumps,” Dr. Roe explained of the nurses. “They also go out and talk to kids about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), healthy lifestyles, about how to choose your diet and activities to lead a healthier lifestyle. “I was just talking to the nurses about the county health rankings that come out every year and about 70 percent of the factors that determine the rankings are based on lifestyle choices,” Dr. Roe said. “That’s what we are trying to do with encouraging healthier lifestyles. We can’t dictate to someone how they are going to live, but we can try to educate them so they make healthy choices. There’s smoking, alcoholism, obesity, drug use, and then you get into the economic factors of unemployment and criminal activity. All of those have a neg-

As the County Health Officer, Dr. Roe will now oversee vital records, the County Health Nurses, and the Environmental Health and Food Departments.

ative health impact. We would like to be able to stamp it all out, but of course we can’t.” A very important part of public health is the immunization against communicable diseases, and that is readily available at our County Health Department. But
according to Dr. Roe, many people still wrongly believe immunizations pose an unnecessary health risk “We’re trying really hard to ensure all the school kids are immunized,” Dr. Roe said. “One of the big problems we still (continued on page 5)
Wabash County native named 4-H Youth Educator by Brent Swan After spending much of her first week on the job in the office, new Wabash County 4-H Youth Educator Angela Christopher is already looking forward to the 2013 Wabash County 4-H Fair. Christopher, a Wabash County resident and Southwood High School graduate, took over the position vacated by Pandora Woodward. “I have lived here all my life,” Christopher said. “My husband David and I have two children, Jade, who is five and Clay who is three.” Christopher, a former 10year 4-H member, went on to graduate from Manchester College before completing her master’s degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. She then taught English for nine years at White’s and was in her second year of teaching sixth grade language at LaFontaine when she decided to apply for the job. “I applied for the position in
the fall, and I had to apply through Purdue,” Christopher said of the process. “You then had to go through a phone interview with a few people from the university. Eventually I met here with the extension board, which was the local group that helped make the decision.” Christopher said at times, the process was intimidating. “I’d never been through a phone interview before, but it probably made me more nervous when I came before the local board because it’s people you know,” Christopher said. “There were 17 people in this room, looking on and listening at once.” After formally accepting the position, Christopher had help in getting acquainted with what the position entails. “I came into a group here at the office that had done a lot of work before I even started,” Christopher said. “The judges (continued on page 5)

Dr. David Roe... continued from front page encounter is that one small segment of the population feels that their children should not be immunized as they fear they might become autistic or get mercury poisoning. There is absolutely no proven evidence anywhere that immunizations are bad. The Center for Disease Control down at
Atlanta has a database and there are maybe a few cases each year of someone with an allergic reaction to an immunization out of millions given. “They screen the kids to make sure they do not have allergies to any kind of egg products or any of the other possible
growth media they have for the killed virus,” Dr. Roe continued. “You are much safer getting the immunization than you are driving to the place to get the immunization. If you go to third world countries and see the polio, diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid, polio, and whooping cough they
have, you realize how fortunate we are to have ready access to immunizations and vaccines.” In addition to offering immunizations, the County Health Nurses play a large role in the annual Kindergarten RoundUp, hosted by the local schools to ensure the incoming class of
kindergarteners meets entrance requirements. “The County Health Nurses went out to all the schools and it was pretty well received,” Dr. Roe said. “State law says all the children must be immunized prior to beginning school. You don’t want a child with chicken pox or
North Manchester Rotary to hold pancake breakfast on May 7 The North Manchester Rotary Election Day Pancake Breakfast on Tuesday, May 7 welcomes everyone for light, fluffy pancakes made with fresh milk and eggs. A choice of sausage or scrambled eggs accompany the
pancakes, along with hot coffee, milk or orange juice. Proceeds from the popular breakfast (or lunch) from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Scout Hall of Warvel Park benefit community projects and programs –
including literacy, youth sports, scholarships, conflict resolution for local families, trails, and the Aquatic and Fitness Center, says President Brian Daniels. “Families and friends come for the great hot
food and the great conversations – whether there’s an election or not.” Tickets are available from any North Manchester Rotary member or by calling 260-982-8789. Carry out is available.

measles sitting in a class infecting everyone else. If everyone is immunized, you don’t have to worry about it - it just doesn’t make any sense not to.” According to statistics from the state of Indiana, less than 10 percent of children entering kindergarten in Wabash County are behind on immunizations while the state average is closer to 30 percent. Although still relatively new to the County Health Department, Dr. Roe said his first month on the job has been satisfying.
“I’m still learning the ropes, of course, but each week the Indiana Department of Health sends out a letter about what is going on in the state regarding public health issues and that is very interesting to read,” Dr. Roe said of his experience thus far. “I went down to the County Health Officers’ meeting in Indianapolis March 21 and it was interesting to meet the other County Health Officers and see the problems they are having and how they relate to small communities like Wabash County.”
April 27 hog roast to benefit local Wabash County native... continued resident battling breast cancer from front page are almost all lined up; maybe about four to go as of right now. They have been printing signs for the livestock shows and sending out letters to make sure all the projects are registered.” According to Christopher the animal registration deadline, May 15, is fast approaching. “I’d like to work on increasing the 4-H enrollment and try to get some more youth i n v o l v e d , ” Christopher said of her short-term goals. “I’d like to get out in the community and make sure people know what our youth are doing. We want them to know that the kids do more than just show the projects at the fair - that’s just a small portion of all the hard work that goes into it.” One change already in store for the 2013 Wabash County Fair is the relocation of the Queen Coronation to the Honeywell C e n t e r . “This year we are going to hold the coronation the Sunday starting judging week, which is slated to begin the week of July 4,” Christopher said. “We feel it gives the Queen and her court more time to
prepare their schedules for fair week if they have jobs or other commitments that might have been a problem on short notice. It’ll also be a really nice, formal setting - with air conditioning.” In prepping for the fair, Christopher was quick to realize how much work actually goes into planning the yearly event. “There’s a lot more that goes into the fair than many people might realize,” Christopher said. “Obviously you have to oversee all the 4-H projects, the fair, Junior Leaders, and all the usual things, but we also go out to the classrooms throughout the county and teach lessons like Professor Popcorn and some additional classes for fifth graders.” “I think that 4-H in this county has a very strong tradition,” Christopher said. “It’s very family oriented, and something my family and I look forward to being a part of.” To reach Angela, contact the Wabash County Extension Office at 260-563-0661 or email her at christ67@purdue.edu.

She gave a book report on “an Invisible Thread”, by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski. It is autobiographic in nature and tells of a successful business woman who helps a poor eleven-year-old panhandler in the streets of New York City. It started with buying him lunch which led to 150 weeks of lunches and their relationship developed into an unexpected, life-changing friendship that has today spanned almost three decades. It is interesting to see how the invisible thread drew them together and kept them together. Thanks to Rosemary and Sally for an enjoyable meeting.

She told about how she received the Leader Dog from Lion Leader Dog’s in Rochester Michigan, what she has to do to keep the dog and how she had to be trained with the dog. She explained all the different kinds of blindness. A leader dog cost $45,000 to be raised for a blind person. Lions clubs pay this cost, so a blind person can have the dog at no cost to them. She told that you must always ask to pet a working dog, as some dogs do not do well to be patted and others as hers does very well. Pat told us this was who second dog as her first one took sick and could not be a working dog. The people who raise the dog as a pup took the dog back and cared for her. Leader dogs are called working dogs as are police dogs, drug dogs, and search and rescue dogs. Cub scouts enjoyed her talked, got to pet the dog and ask several questions of her.

Shepherd’s Chevrolet remodeling to enhance customer experience Upgrades part of General Motors’ Essential Brand Elements
for the service department, which is located south of the main entrance to the lot on property Shepherd’s had to acquire and rezone in order to make room. According to Shepherd, the new service department has approximately 13 bays, compared to the seven bays offered in its former location. “During our growing process, things had gotten cramped in the old service department, and this allows us to provide a more professional service experience to our customers,” Shepherd explained. “The new building offers 10 lifts, as well as the space necessary for a heavy duty lift for big trucks and school buses. With the additional space, we will now be able to sell tires and perform alignments on the new equipment, which was not possible in the previous service building due to lack of space. “The new building features a larger parts room, a central tool storage area, an employee break room, and additional storage space. Additional upgrades include new workbenches in every bay and an in-ground exhaust system, for when the technicians are working on vehicles and have to have them running inside.” Now that construction for Phase I is completed – other than pouring the sidewalks and asphalt, which was delayed due to weather – Phase II has become the priority. The second phase involves renovations to the existing Shepherd’s retail facility. The original building, which housed everything from the service department and parts room to the showroom and cus-
to get onboard with a program like this, especially since GM was offering some compensation toward our investment,” Shepherd said. “In the past, we have discussed the possibility of a new building to house our service department, but we just hadn’t pulled the trigger on it,” he continued. “Once GM was willing to kick something back on the money we would need to spend to do it, we decided to make the long-term commitment to GM, and to North Manchester. An investment like this is not only good for our business, but hopefully it will help grow the community as well.” The Shepherd’s Family Auto Group also has locations in Kendallville and Rochester, both of which have already completed similar renovations – GM wants each Chevrolet store to have the “same look,” according to Shepherd. Work began at the North Manchester location less than four months ago, and Phase II of the two-phase project actually got underway this week. The first phase involved building a brand new, 10,000square-foot facility
By Shaun Tilghman S h e p h e r d ’ s Chevrolet, Inc., located at 1002 SR 114W, in North Manchester, has joined thousands of General Motors (GM) dealers across the country in upgrading their retail facilities to better serve the needs of their customers. In October of 2009, GM began a program called Essential Brand Elements, through which Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac dealerships were encouraged to voluntarily participate in an initiative to improve the image of their facilities. Along with providing monetary incentives to complete facilities upgrades, GM also rewards dealers for meeting customer experience standards, such as extensive sales and service training. Tim Shepherd, President of the North Manchester Shepherd’s, says that while GM has been pushing dealers to get involved with the program, it is not mandatory. “For us, it was just the right time and it made a lot of sense

Dealers that have opted to participate in the improvement initiative are expected to follow the design guidelines for their respective brand, as set forth by GM. Generally, those guidelines include the designs for new exterior entrances with updated signage, a bright showroom with a customer greeting station, a modern customer lounge with free WiFi, and even the floor
tiles and paint schemes are mandated. The local dealership will incorporate many of the aforementioned elements in attempts to better satisfy their customers’ needs and provide an overall enhanced customer experience, Shepherd stated. In addition, there will be two new overhead doors installed on the southeast side of the building; one door will be the entrance for customers dropping off a vehicle for GM certified service, while the other will be an area where customers pick up their new and preowned vehicles. “By adding these
elements, we are striving to make our dealership more customer-friendly, thus ensuring them the best possible experience,” Shepherd said. “Other renovations to the original building will involve the sales offices, employee lounge, and retail parts counter, as well as the addition of a conference room. Another new addition will be a GM accessory room, which will spotlight many of the GM accessories that are available for your new GM vehicle.” He concluded by pointing out that it was important for them to view this project as not just a means for improving their business, but as
Lynn asks Indiana legislators to help with smoking prevention programs Dear Editor, Indiana is taking “one step forward, two steps backward.” That will be the end result for Indiana in economic and health terms if the House and Senate’s proposed budget is passed without restoring funding for tobacco prevention and cessation to $8 million. Indiana legislators took a small step for-
ward last year by removing smoking from many public workplaces. That coupled with years of work educating people about tobacco and helping people quit has helped reduce the smoking rate significantly. In fact, between 2000 and 2010, there were 219,000 fewer adult smokers in the state. According to the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation County Health Rankings, Wabash County ranked 30 percent of its residents as smokers. In 2013, that number decreased to 20 percent. Prevention programs and cessation programs- like the free Quit Linerequire funding. What may surprise many people is the

fact that the state has the money. Every year, money was designed to help curb tobacco use, but over the years, legislature has stripped away more and more of that funding for other purposes. We’ve made big strides in reducing death and disease caused by tobacco. Now is not the time to cripple the programs that can be credited with that progress. I ask our legislators to adequately fund the tobacco prevention and cessation program. Contact Dave Wolkins at h18@in.gov and Jim Banks at s17@in.gov as soon as possible! Let them know what they need to do for Wabash County and the state. Thank you for your interest and concern. Respectfully, Pat Lynn Wabash

City-wide yard sale at Paradise Springs highlights Karsyn Kares 2013 The Karsyn Kares Kampaign Committee is gearing up for its’ 2013 fund-raising campaign, to be held May 18 at Paradise Springs. Proceeds from this year’s Kampaign will be earmarked for Wabash County children fighting cancer that receive their treatment through Riley
Children’s Hospital. Funds will be disbursed directly from Riley to county families. Diane Guenin, Chair for the citywide yard sale hopes to double the initial efforts of last year’s first every city-wide sale. Last year, over 50 vendors were in attendance. There is plenty
of room for 100 or more. Sales start at 9 a.m., sharp, and the R i c h v a l l e y Tenderloin Fry and Red Barn elephant ears will open at 10 a.m. Food will be available through 3 p.m., with the yard sale ending when sales wane. All people wanting
to be a part of the yard sale event need to contact Diane at dianeguenin@gmail.c om. There is a form, which needs to be completed, and a payment free due before May 18. Food and drink will be available through two food vendors. Attendees may not sell food or drink to the public.
This year marks a huge change from the Karsyn Kares Kampaigns of the past two years, in that there is not a particular child for which the group is raising money. “It is hard to ask a family to put themselves “out there” for the Kampaign. Even though in the end, it

is a huge benefit to them,” says Karsyn Kares founder, Becki Wagoner. “If we make less this year than in the past, that is also okay. The funds of our campaign will be directed to Riley Children’s Hospital Cancer Unit for this year and all subsequent years. Our original initiative was for cancer patient, Karsyn Bratch in 2011. We will remain faithful to the cancer aspect of our campaign for the future. We know of one child receiving services at Riley, and there may be others. By directing our money this way, we are still helping families within our countywide area
without asking them to become public figures,” said Wagoner. Gates for the event will open at 8:30 a.m., with sales beginning at 9 a.m. There will also be other sorts of entertainment at the park that day, including a Walkathon, chaired by Wabash Middle School teacher, Natalie Unger; children’s games; various live bands, including God’s Country, and a silent auction are also part of the day’s activities.

Apaches split with Eastbrook, suffer first loss
by Gary Andrews The Wabash Apache baseball team split a pair of games with Eastbrook Saturday, April 20, winning game one of the double header 11-2 before falling for their first loss of the season, 8-2 in game two. In game one the Apaches did all their damage in two innings. Wabash would go up quick, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first. Landon Cole doubled to get things going and was followed by a Kyle Kelsheimer walk. Shea Beauchamp would then single home Cole for a 1-0 lead. Isaiah Smith would then single home the second run. The Apaches would score two more on Eastbrook mishaps to lead 4-0. Leading 4-2 going to the bottom of the 4th, Wabash would erupt for seven runs. Justin Holley walked, followed by Roger Davis bunting and reaching on an error. Kody Fuller then walked to load the bases. Tyler Brewer would then get an rbi with a walk to make it 5-2 before Cole singled home a run. Up 6-2, Kyle Kelsheimer would single in two and was followed by a Shea
Beauchamp rbi single, making it 9-2. The Apaches again would take advantage of a Panther error, scoring two more runs in route to a 11-2 win. The Apaches had 10 hits in the game with Cole, Holley and Beauchamp collecting two each. Davis, Smith, Kelsheimer and Brewer each had a hit. Roger Davis picked up the win for Wabash, going five innings, striking out 4 and walking two. Isaiah Smith pitched two innings of shut out relief. Perhaps the biggest news of the game was Shea Beauchamp reaching base for the 22nd time in a row. Beauchamp had reached base in every at bat of the season. Wabash suffered their first loss of the season in game two, falling 8-2. The Apache bats, which had been on fire the entire season, went cold collecting just six hits. After scoring one in the first, Eastbrook did something no one else has been able to do all year in getting Shea Beauchamp out. Down 6-0, Wabash would finally score in the 5th, plating one run on the 5th and 6th in the 8-2 loss. Shea Beauchamp,

Local contractor reminds homeowners Mississinewa Valley Community to check gutters during spring Band performance announced The Mississinewa Valley Community Band will perform their “Springtime at the Phillippe” show on Tuesday, April 30 at 7:30 in the Phillippe Auditorium on the campus of Indiana Wesleyan University. Performing on the concert will be the concert band, swing band, and guest soloists Dr. Tammie Huntington, voice professor at Indiana Wesleyan University and Steven Ngo, pianist, runner-up winner in the Marion Philharmonic Orchestra concerto competition.
ATTENTION IPAD, IPHONE & ANDROID USERS:
by Brent Swan Jimmy Hooks, owner of Hang Em High Gutters and Construction, said after 40 plus years in the trade, he is constantly surprised by the condition of many gutters throughout the community. “As spring comes around, people tend to forget to check their gutters,” Hooks said. “After years of wear and tear they can work their way loose. Sometimes, they might get hit by a mower and dislodged. If it’s in alley, maybe a kid has pulled it out some.” When gutters lose function, Hooks says problems are inevitable. “Good gutters protect your home,” Hooks said. “After time, if that water isn’t carried away from your home, it can eat your mortar out. You can walk around a lot of houses and see where the mortar is starting to crack
because of poor drainage.” As a result, Hooks says most, if not all, insurance companies require homeowners to utilize a gutter system to protect the property. “If the gutters are
sagging, or if you have put nails in them at some point, you could have affected the spacing and that can lead to problems too,” Hooks continued. “You really need to make sure the ground around the foundation
is sloped away from the home, which will help to carry the water away.” A contractor himself by trade, Hooks said when choosing to hire someone for repair work to hire someone insured.
“A lot of people out there don’t have any type of insurance,” Hooks said. “If they get hurt on that property, the homeowner’s insurance is responsible for that injury.” To contact Hooks, call 260-571-0685.

Youth Service Bureau of Wabash County The board of directors of the Youth Service Bureau of Wabash County is working to restructure the agency, board members announced April 16. The reason for the restructuring is a withholding tax bill, which had not been paid for several years. “When we learned of the situation, the board immediately contacted the Internal Revenue Service and last week
024*
met with a representative from that agency to learn of or options to resolve this matter,” board member Marti Striker, a spokesman for the agency, said. With the restructuring, there has bee some change in personnel. Among the programs the YSB overseas are the youth mentoring program, Parents as Teachers, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), the
Community Action Program, Operation LIFT and Operation Elf. “We as a board have always appreciated the help and support we have received from the community for our various programs,” Striker said. “We hope that support continues as we work our way through this issue.” Board member Helen Chambers echoed Striker’s comments. “Our success with
this program would not have been possible without our community,” she said. “This includes the volunteers who helped with mentoring our children and those who worked hard at our fundraising to those who have donated funds to help the children of this county.” “Because of that funding and volunteering, a lot of children have grown into very successful adults.”

It comes as no real surprise Mariana was selected. It seems service and honor has always been part of her life. A World War II Army WAC Nurse, Mariana was particularly glad to meet fellow WACs and WAVEs (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Services) when she came to Peabody. At age 25, she was sworn in to the 34th WAAC (Women Army Auxiliary Corps, later changed by Congress to WAC), and sent to Fort Des Moines. Then it was overseas to Cheltenham, England working in the Central Records Aggutant Unit for six months and becoming a corporal. While no one in Mariana’s unit

1998, the tulips presented a particularly spectacular display practically begging Peabody to share the panorama with surrounding communities. An old-fashioned ice cream social seemed to suit the occasion and the public enjoyed both a beautiful and delicious afternoon at Peabody. The tulips of spring 1999 repeated their bountiful performance and so another ice cream social, this time accompanied by entertainment gave birth to Peabody’s Annual Tulip Festival. Each year as the tulips debuted, more and more came to see the spectacle and area businesses began to participate by donating prizes, raffles and equipment. In 2003, and continuing to this day, a very generous gift from Roger and Judy Moore of The Hardware puts Peabody’s landscape crews to work each fall planting over 10,000 tulips throughout the grounds, creating an even more fantastic sight, and increasing interest and participation the

Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann announces expansion of foreclosure prevention program
State increases funds, expands criteria to include underemployment, healthcare hardships and military service
Indianapolis – Hoosiers who have experienced financial hardships of various types now may qualify for the Indiana F o r e c l o s u r e Prevention Network’s (IFPN) Hardest Hit Fund. IFPN is a statewide multiagency collaboration operated by the Indiana Housing and C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t Authority (IHCDA). Indiana’s Hardest Hit Fund program, which offers individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own assistance in paying their mortgage, has expanded to offer more Hoosiers the
opportunity to receive assistance. “When families lose their homes, communities and businesses suffer as well,” said Lt. Governor Sue Ellsper mann. “Indiana’s expansion of the Hardest Hit Fund program will provide assistance to even more Hoosiers who are directly affected by the recession, allowing them to remain in their homes with mortgage, refinancing or transition assistance.” The U.S. Department of the Treasury approved the program changes, which significantly broaden borrower eligibility; increase the amount of assistance some borrowers receive and extend the length of time borrowers may receive assistance. Specific program
changes: 1) Nearly double the funds available per applicant. The maximum amount of assistance per household increased from $18,000 to $30,000 for all types of assistance except Transition Assistance. 2) Six additional months of assistance. The maximum duration of assistance increased from 18 months to 24 months. 3) More hardships qualify. Borrowers may qualify if they can no longer afford their mortgage payment due to: (a) an involuntary and substantial reduction in employment income; (b) a substantial reduction in household income due to death of a household -more-member; (c) significant expenses related to non-elective medical procedures
or emergencies; (d) or military service. 4) Transition assistance. Eligible homeowners with unaffordable mortgage payments who obtain a short sale or deed-inlieu of foreclosure from their lender/servicer and leave their home in a saleable condition may receive $2,500 to assist with moving and relocation expenses; and up to $5,000 paid to their lenders/servicers to help facilitate the short sale or deed-inlieu of foreclosure agreement. 5) Unemployment benefits timeline extension. Applicants no longer have to be receiving unemployment assistance at the time of application. These requirements were replaced with the requirement that the involuntary unemployment hard-
ship upon which the applicant seeks to qualify for Unemployment Bridge Program (“UBP”) assistance have occurred on or after Jan. 1, 2009. 6) Financial literacy education. Successful completion of a financial literacy education course was added to the requirement that monthly assistance recipients engage in approved training, education or structured volunteer work. “We recognize that for some Hoosiers, factors beyond unemployment may negatively impact homeowners’ ability to make their mortgage payments,” said Mark Neyland, Director of Asset Preservation for IHCDA. “By
broadening the Hardest Hit Fund eligibility criteria and increasing the amount of financial assistance available, we are better equipped to help homeowners avoid foreclosure while they re-establish them-
selves financially.” With these program updates, IHCDA estimates that approximately 10,150 Indiana households will receive assistance over the life of the Hardest Hit Fund program.

FAME director thanks volunteers and supporters for another successful year Dear Editor, Another FAME Festival has been completed in Wabash. We are so grateful for all of the volunteers who help us accomplish such a major task. The festival day itself requires a minimum of 100 workers, plus help with set-up on Friday and takedown on Saturday afternoon after the official close of the festival. The Honeywell Center staffs bends over backward to assist us in every way possible to help the day go smoother. We know that our event creates extra work for them, but with their focus on programming for children, they are willing to help us meet this challenge. This year, we are especially grateful that they were able to negotiate with the Cudamani Ensemble to allow them to stay and be a part of our festival. We appreciate the wonderful support from our local media as they helped us “spread the word” about our activities. Thanks to Wabash Plain Dealer, The Paper of Wabash County, and 105.9 The Bash radio for giving us such great coverage. All of you provide excellent coverage of youth activities. We also appreciate the businesses that displayed posters and table tents before the festival, again
helping us with advertising. In order to present our festival with no admission charge and be able to present many free activities, it is necessary to raise several thousand dollars each year. We greatly appreciate the financial support of the Honeywell F o u n d a t i o n , C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County, the Ford Meter Box Foundation, REMC Operation Round-up, Wabash County Arts Council, Delta Kappa Gamma Educational Foundation, Hidden Hollows Retreat and the Alpentraum Ensemble who were major contributors this year. Thanks to businesses that purchased ads for our program book and all individuals, organizations, and businesses that made donations. We appreciate the festival attendees, who participated in our silent auction, and those who felt they could make a donation in lieu of an admission charge. Our children benefited from your generosity as you helped us present this arts day. We appreciate the work of all teachers who helped their students prepare art projects and performances. Thanks to The Noisemaker, Muncie Music Center, Wabash Valley Dance Theater, and Mixed Martial
Arts for their sessions. Special thanks to our Visiting Artists who presented such great workshops. We appreciate David Brace and his graphic arts students at Heartland Career Center who prepared our posters and C/S Printing for printing our festival books. I want to personally thank the five art teachers who helped select the projects and prepare the materials for the make-it, take-it area. This is a huge undertaking because
the area is so popular, with many children participating in all of these activities. Thanks to Katy Gray, Lynne Keffaber, Jo Nordman, Erica Tyson, and Chelsea Wilkinson for your hours of prepartion. Thanks to everyone who came to FAME. Next year’s festival will be March 22, 2014 so mark your calendars and plan to attend. Judy Ward Fame Director

Brandt’s Harley Davidson helps local group raise money for breast cancer Local breast cancer survivor, Natalie Rager, founded the Hot Pink Mommas in 2009, and since then, the group has raised $78,967 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. “Being a breast cancer survivor means I get to be here each day with my
family and friends, and that your health is priceless. My motivation to fight comes from wanting to be as healthy as I can be and to help find a cure for breast cancer,” Rager said in an email. In October of 2008, at the age of 38, Rager was diagnosed with

stage 3 breast cancer after finding a lump herself. “I did six months of chemotherapy and 40 rounds of radiation, followed by a bilateral mastectomy,” she said. Rager finished radiation in May of 2009 and completed her first walk in June of 2009 in Chicago, Ill. “The Chicago walk was life changing for me. Training for the walk helped me stay active and bonded me with amazing teammates. After going through this, I couldn’t have asked for better support,” she said. The Susan G. Komen 3 Day Race for The Cure is a 60 mile walk in which each participant has to raise $2,300 to go towards breast cancer research. 85 percent of the net proceeds from

bands that have lost their wives, and other people who have lost loved ones to breast cancer. “It doesn’t even feel like you are walking 20 miles because the atmosphere is so uplifting that all you can think about is crossing that finish line in honor or memory of your loved ones. Everyone that walks has a story of why they are walking,” Rager said. This will be the first year that Shea Rager, one of Natalie’s daughters will be walking with her. There are 14 walks in 14 difference cities in the U.S., and it is Rager’s goal to walk all 14. “The upcoming walk in San Francisco
June 21 – 23 will be my fifth walk. In order to prepare for the walk, we have training fundraisers to reach our team goal’s donation each year,” she said. In the past, the Hot Pink Mommas, which consists of Rager’s close friends and family, have had car washes at Shepherd’s Chevrolet in North Manchester, a golf outing at Sycamore Golf Course, a Pink Out basketball game at Peru High School, and as a team waitressed at the Main View in North Manchester, held a tennis tournament at Thrush Courts in Peru, a Thirty-One party and various bake sales. The Hot Pink
Mommas do not use any of their donation money for travel expenses. All donations go directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. “Through all of this, Brandt’s HarleyDavidson has been our biggest supporter,” Rager said. Brandt’s has donated over $14,000 to the Hot Pink Mommas in the past two years. “If you would like to purchase a t-shirt in support of us, they will be available at Brandt’s for $15, or if you would like to make a donation on our behalf, you can go online at susangkomen.org and search for the Hot Pink Mommas,” Rager said.

Norse C team Squires fall in falls to Norwell doubleheader
by Gary Andrews The Northfield â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Baseball Team traveled to Norwell on Saturday, April 20, for a doubleheader and lost both game to the Knights. In game one, the Norse lost a close 3-2 decision. Jakob Hayes had two hits, while Brandon Frank
added an RBI single. Remi Monce went five innings, giving up two runs while striking out nine. In Game two, the Norse lost 185. Drew Clark and Dylan Brown each had two hits and an RBI, while Joseph Mitchell went one for one with a double.
against Churubusco by Gary Andrews The Manchester baseball team was in action Saturday as they hosted Churubusco in a double header. Even though the Squires were at home they were the visiting team because the game was moved from Churubusco because of field conditions. In the cold, windy conditions, with a few snow flurries the Squires fell 13-9 and 52. The Squires gave starting pitcher Jim Sainsbury the early lead in game one, scoring twice in the top of the first for a 20 lead. Evan Olinger and Jim Sainsbury scored for the Squires. With the defense s t r u g g l i n g , Churubusco would plate five runs in the second inning and 4 more in the third to take a 9-2 lead. The Squires offense was struggling right along with the defense until they broke the ice in the 5th, scoring three times to close the gap to 10-5. Jim Sainsbury and Jurgin Cripe had rbiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the inning.
Trailing 13-6 heading in to the seventh the Squires would rally one more time, scoring three runs and leaving two on to come up short 13-9. Justin Lewis, Cody Harlan, Jim Sainsbury and Jurgin Cripe each had two hits. Evan Olinger, Branden Scott, Phoenix Goad, Evan Milam and Grant Schuler each had one hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play very good â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dâ&#x20AC;?, giving up eight unearned runs. Did a real good job of scratching our way back in the game,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Rupley. The Squires fell 5-2 in game two. Evan Olinger and Phoenix Goad scored in the third, with the Squires garnering just five hits in the game. Phoenix Goad led with two hits. Thad Miller, Jurgin Cripe and Evan Olinger each had a hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Much better job on defense. Pitching was decent in both games. Just have to put all facets of the game together and we can be pretty good,â&#x20AC;? added Coach Rupley.

READER ADVISORY: The national trade association we belong to has purchased the below classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer â&#x20AC;&#x153;employmentâ&#x20AC;? but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstances should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal to request any money before delivering its service.

Preparation, double-checking are keys to spring planting safety With sunny days becoming more frequent and soil temperatures rising, a Purdue Extension agricultural safety specialist warns farmers not to let their enthusiasm for
spring planting lead to injuries. Instead, growers need to take a few extra minutes to double-check equipment that has been idle over the winter and keep
safety precautions in mind. “Farmers need to make sure before they go into planting season that the safety guards are in place on their equipment,” Steve Wettschurack said. “Maybe a piece was taken off last fall because it was broken or worn out, but now it needs to be replaced. They

should make sure they’ve looked at hydraulic hoses and anything else that might be a yearly repair before heading out to the fields. “Not cutting corners is important. It only takes a few minutes to make sure a piece of equipment is safe and ready for transport.” Safety equipment
such as headlights, taillights, hazard signs, goggles and gloves also should be checked before planting begins. Most farm equipment has a large width when fully extended, but Wettschurack said farmers moving equipment should always fold it into transport position.
“Some toolbars on planters are 90 feet wide when they’re opened up in the field, and we’re talking about a roadway that’s 12 feet wide,” he said. “They’re designed to fold themselves up, maybe numerous times, to get down to roadway width.” Planters, discs, field cultivators and

other equipment can be folded up hydraulically in a matter of minutes. The equipment should be fully folded between fields - no matter the distance between them - for the safety of the farmer and other drivers. Non-farm drivers also should be extra cautious on the roads during planting season. “Unfortunately, it seems like we have people in a lot more of a hurry today, and they don’t quite want to get over as much as they used to,” Wettschurack said. “But give the farmer that courtesy. And the farmer needs to give that individual on the road courtesy to make sure they get by each other safely.” Wettschurack also advised farmers to do general inspections of anhydrous ammonia tanks before using them in the fields. If a tank has a water storage supply on the side, it needs to be full before going out in the field. A n h y d r o u s ammonia, when spilled, can cause severe burns to eyes, lungs and skin. Because it is attracted to water, the best way to minimize injury after a spill is to douse the victim with water. “Copious amounts of water is the No. 1 thing to do prehospital if you get a drop of anhydrous on you. The more water the better,” Wettschurack said. He cautioned farmers to keep the wind at their backs when applying anhydrous ammonia to avoid exposure. If the wind is from the south, farmers need to keep equipment north of them so the anhydrous is blowing away. Farmers should also check gauges, tires and wheel bearings for signs of distress or rust. “A tire blowing out when going 30 miles an hour down the road can cause a lot of damage,” Wettschurack said.
