Wabash Middle School teacher receives kidney transplant

by Emily Armentrout A year to the day after being diagnosed with end stage renal failure, Abi Armentrout received the kidney transplant she had been waiting for. As previously reported by The Paper of Wabash County, Abi Armentrout received her diagnosis after attempting to take out a life insurance policy. For a year, Abi went through dialysis treatments every night. Family members were tested to be potential donors, but two of them had already been ruled out, and her cousin, Jeremy, was only in the beginning stages of testing. On Wednesday, Feb. 6, Abi received a call at 8:30 a.m. that she let go to voicemail as she was finishing up teaching her Spanish class at W.C. Mills Elementary. Potential transplant recipients are required to respond to the calls within an hour or the transplant center will move on to another recipient. Abi immediately called the transplant center back and was informed that there was potentially a kidney for her. “I thought is this really happening?” said Abi. “We were expecting the donor to be someone from the family, with my nephew getting tested, and the wait list time being so long,” added Abi’s mother, Phyllis. The typical wait time on the kidney transplant list is three to five years. Abi was on the list for seven months. Abi made arrangements to have her classes covered, and waited to hear the results of the blood work that were being run. The results came back that she was a good match to the kidney, and she was to be at Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne at 5 a.m. Thursday morning. Upon arriving at Lutheran, she was immediately put into a room, where the doctors ran final tests and Abi was prepped for surgery. She met with the surgeon, Dr. Kizilisik, the Nephrologist, Dr. Ducker, and Nurse Cheryl, who Armentrout described as “kind, explaining what was happening, which put me at ease.” Her mother’s initial reaction was a bit of disbelief. “It was a shock because we were still in the process of finding a living donor,” said Phyllis, of her reaction to Abi’s phone call. Abi’s father, Eric, recalls walking into the hospital room after the surgery and seeing Abi in “agony; she wanted to go home. She couldn’t have liquids for about four hours. Her mouth was so dry.” Abi was in the hospital for four days. The doctors said the typical hospital stay is three days to a week, pending any complications. After watching the nurses take care of Abi, Phyllis had no real worries about caring for her. “The initial worry is if the kidney fails and we don’t realize it. Kidney transplants aren’t considered to be life saving because if your kidney fails you can go back on dialysis. The thing that caused

me the most anxiety was watching her try to regain her strength,” explained Phyllis. Abi stayed with her parents until she recovered from surgery. The first week was difficult and painful, according to her family. She moved home about three weeks after surgery. She was not allowed to drive herself until her staples were removed. Currently, Abi is traveling to Lutheran Hospital twice a week for blood work, and meeting with Dr. Ducker at the second visit. Lab work has indicated that the kidney is functioning at a normal level. “I am overwhelmed by what God has done for Abi and our family; getting this taken care of as quickly as He did. I was expecting a three to five year wait, and here we are, a year later, and she’s on her way to getting back to normal,” added Eric. After spending a year hooked up to a dialysis machine every night, she is no longer going to bed at 8:30 p.m. in order to cycle through dialysis in time for work the next day, Abi can finally get into her old routine; her old life. She can sleep uninterrupted. At night, Abi wasn’t able to leave her room after hooking up to the machine, so she would have to make sure every detail was taken care of before she went to bed. She made sure lights were off, doors were locked, that she had water by the bed in case she got thirsty during the night. She was hooked to 20 feet of tube, which doesn’t stretch as far as you’d think. “My friends were always really good about being accommodating to me, but I always felt guilty that my condition dictated everything,” explained Abi. When the 2013-2014 school starts, she will be able to go back to work, and plans on supporting the school and the students more by attending games, concerts, and chaperoning dances. “I think it’s important for teachers to show their students that they are interested in what they do outside of the classroom,” said Abi. Recently, Abi had started a Spanish Club that was forced to take a backseat until the fall due to Abi’s absence. “We’re thankful the process has gone as well as it has. I appreciate the support from friends and family. I appreciate that the school has been so accommodating, and we appreciate the caring, hard working staff at Lutheran for the care I’ve received,” said Abi. “We don’t know any-

As time progresses and the kidney continues to function the way it is supposed to, her visits will be down to once or twice a year. Pictured here are Abi and one of her nurses, Kelly Smith.

Luggage for one night included the machine itself, pictured in a previous issue of The Paper, three boxes containing a total of 20 liters of fluid, and various medical supplies in a suitcase that weighed, all together, 50 pounds. All those items were in addition to regular luggage for an overnight stay. thing about my donor, due to confidentiality reasons, but my family and I are very grateful to the donor and their fam-

For the sake of soil, sustainability and profits, expert says, “Just say no to tillage” INDIANAPOLIS, IN- Spring tillage is a tradition that is steeped deeply into American agriculture. But more and more producers are realizing that this iconic tradition is costing them - in more ways than one. Tillage, which was once considered necessary in order to prepare a proper seed bed for planting, comes at a high price in terms of increasing diesel prices and labor costs.

But according to Barry Fisher, a soil health specialist with USDA’s Natural R e s o u r c e s Conservation Service in Indianapolis, the bigger, long-term cost may come at the expense of the health and function of the soil itself - resulting in lower yields, higher input costs and reduced drought resiliency for Indiana farms. “Tillage is incredibly destructive to the

soil structure and to the soil ecosystem,” Fisher said. “In healthy soil you have 50 percent air and water - which is made possible by the pore space in the soil - and 50 percent mineral and organic matter. But tillage collapses and destroys that structure, making the soil vulnerable to erosion and compaction,” he said. The possibility of another dry year should also have pro-

ducers rethinking their use of tillage, Fisher said. “Because it destroys organic matter and soil structure, tillage actually reduces the soil’s infiltration capacity,” he said. “Additionally, studies have shown that each tillage pass can release a half an inch of soil moisture from each acre. In short, tillage tends to limit the availability of water in the soil,” Fisher said. “And that could prove very cost-

ly during those long, summer dry spells.” Fortunately, more and more producers in Indiana are farming with systems to build soil health, Fisher said. “Using a suite of conservation practices, like quality no-till and diverse cover crops,” he said, “they’re keeping living plants in the soil as long as possible and they’re keeping the soil surface covered with residue year round.”

And according to Fisher, the benefits of improved soil health extend beyond the farm. “Producers who improve the health of their soil are also increasing its waterholding capacity, which reduces runoff that can cause flooding. Improved infiltration keeps nutrients and sediment from being carried off-site into nearby lakes, rivers, and streams,” he said. Producers interest-

ed in learning more about the basics and benefits of soil health, or in receiving technical and financial assistance to implement a soil health management system should contact their local NRCS o f f i c e www.in.nrcs.usda.gov /contact/directory/fi eld_offices.html.

Manchester students compete in Science Olympiad On March 26, 29 Manchester students grades six through 12 competed in the Indiana State Science O l y m p i a d Tournament held at Indiana University, Bloomington. The C team earned the right to compete in the state tournament by finishing fourth at the Goshen Regional tournament. For the B team, however, their fourth place finish at the Goshen Regional meant that they had to compete in a Wild Card tournament to earn the last spot at the state tournament. “The number of invitations per regional is based on the number of teams per division at each regional,” Coach Sue Gnagy explained. “There were less B teams at the Goshen Regional, so we found ourselves two points shy of automatically qualifying for state. We won the Wild Card tournament by ten points. The Wild Card tourney was the weekend before the state tournament, so it was a quick turn around to get ready for the state tournament.” The state tournament consisted of the thirty best B and C teams from around the state. The C team finished 12th in state, which is the highest ranking yet for a Manchester C team. The B team finished

eighth, which is incredible, considering the weekend before we were fighting just to earn the right to qualify. They had some outstanding performances at the state tournament. Freshman Karly Eichenauer ended the day with four medals, a first place in Anatomy, third place in Disease Detectives and Forestry (with Ethan Rice) and fourth place in Metric Mastery. Matthew Pegg and Alex Good took first place in Helicopters. Pegg also partnered with Eichenauer in Anatomy and Metric Mastery. Rice (with Jonah Shenefield) also built a Boomilever that took fifth place. Sarah Pyle and Allison Smith received fourth place medals for Write it/Do it. Junior Ashton Bolinger (with partners Ross Messer and Blayk Giddens) earned two fourth place medals in Forestry and Gravity Vehicle. In order to place that high in the state, it takes a total team effort. Even though only a few team members went up on the stage, every individual contributed to their success this season.

Wabash High School graduate, has a passion for computers that started nearly 13 years ago. “I got into it when I was in middle school. I had a computer teacher that I enjoyed hanging out with and he taught me about computers. I just pursued it from there,” Isaac told The Paper of Wabash in an interview. Isaac learned most of what he knows by just working on his own computers. He used Internet resources and taught himself, but recently enrolled in college, “to get certificates and all the good stuff you need anymore,” he said. Isaac attends the local Wabash County Ivy Tech and is studying Computer Information Network Technology, but he has already been helping customers with their computers for 12 years. “I just did it out of my house. I grew up here, and I wanted to open a shop to give back to the community,” he said. “I like being able to meet new people and see the look on their

face when they’re happy we fixed something,” he said. “The main thing is we’re honest. I will tell a customer if I don’t know something, but I will be happy to figure it out.” Isaac, father of a 13year-old boy, wants to provide a place for local kids to hang out. “The kids need something here in Wabash County to keep them out of trouble,” he said. Currently, the shop has computers where people can access the Internet for $2 an hour. They can also bring their own computers and hook up to the Wi-Fi for the same price. Eventually the trio would like to expand their shop to a larger location and add a gaming center. Business partner, Pat Knafel, is also a Wabash native and graduate of Wabash High School who now resides in Noblesville. “I am an entrepreneur. I am not a computer expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I’ve always wanted to do something here in my hometown,” Pat told The Paper of Wabash.

Local Aleris plant receives company’s global safety award Facility marks 680 days without a recordable injury Aleris employees who work at the company’s Wabash recycling facility were recently recognized by company leadership for their tremendous safety record. The plant, which employs 35 people mostly from the Wabash area, received

the company’s CEO Safety Excellence Award for achieving an annual recordable injury and illness rate that was below aluminum manufacturing benchmarks. The plant, located at 35 Dimension Avenue, marks 680 days without an injury, which is the plant’s longest stretch without an injury since 2007.

JUST ONE “SMART” REASON TO CALL NOW:

“The safety of our workforce is a top priority for us across the globe, and the Wabash team has certainly set the standard for safety excellence,” Steve Demetriou, Aleris chairman and chief executive officer said.

“Achieving this kind of milestone requires precise focus by each employee every day and I congratulate the team on this accomplishment.” The Wabash recycling facility has been in operation since

1992. The plant produces high-metallic aluminum concentrates and fines for the automotive and building and construction industries. “This team has worked very hard to

create a safetyfocused culture in our facility, and our efforts have really paid off,” Archie Haney, plant manager said. “In addition to protecting the health and wellbeing of our

employees, the focus on safety has also translated into improved product quality and higher productivity, and I thank the team for their efforts.”

Winter Weather Impacting Blood Collections Donations today help save lives tomorrow

48,000 hospital patients could have been impacted. Eligible donors are encouraged to give lifesaving blood to help offset the current shortfall and ensure a stable supply. All blood types are currently needed, especially O negative, B negative and A negative. Rh-negative blood types can be transfused to both Rh-positive and R h - n e g a t i v e patients. Type O negative blood is universal and can potentially be transfused to patients with any blood type. Here are just a few examples of patients who received blood products donated

through the American Red Cross. A new mother received 32 units of red blood cells, 15 units of cryoprecipitate, ten units of platelets and ten units of plasma after complications from childbirth. A patient undergoing a cyst removal received 60 units of red blood cells and nine units of platelets. A kidney transplant patient received 30 units of red blood cells and 40 units of plasma. It is the blood on the shelves today that are available for patients tomorrow. To schedule an

appointment, call 1800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) or go to redcrossblood.org to find a blood drive opportunity near you. There is an upcoming Red Cross Blood Donation day scheduled in the area. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in Indiana and Ohio), 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. American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a notfor-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org.

Honesty. Respect. Professionalism. Courtesy.

This winter has been particularly harsh, impacting a large portion of the country, causing a significant number of blood drive cancellations and impacting our blood supply. Since the beginning of February, winter weather has forced the cancellation of over 425 American Red Cross blood drives, resulting in a shortfall of more than 16,000 blood donations through the Red Cross. These losses mean that potentially

It’s how I treat all my customers. And you can be sure I’ll always do my best to meet your needs. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.® CALL ME TODAY.

Hendrickson asks town to stop littering Dead Editor, To all residents of Wabash and surrounding counties, as spring is getting closer and a lot of us head outdoors to go camping, fishing or just out for a walk to enjoy the fresh air, the next time you head out, take a close look at all the trash that is collected in the ditches and campgrounds or at the river’s edge. It’s disgusting and it makes me ashamed that people in our community would throw so much garbage in the very places we should be proud to live around. After all, Wabash is a very nice place to live and raise a family. We

have good school systems. We have beautiful natural resources, between the Salamonie and the Mississinewa Reservoirs, and the historical landmarks like Hanging Rock, Seven Pillars, the Roann and the North Manchester covered bridges and many others. There are five acres of land preserves just in Wabash County, not counting the surrounding counties. We now have a beautiful river walk and bike trail. We have the Honeywell Center, where topnotch performers come. We also have Charley Creek

Gardens, not to mention the car shows and festivals we have every year, and now an eagle population that lives here. Who would have thought 12 years ago it would be common to see an eagle on the Wabash River or even flying over town? It’s these things we should be proud of as a community. It’s something that we and our children and hopefully our grandchildren should get to enjoy and experience. I think we get in the frame of mind that it’s just one bottle or just one wrapper and we assume that someone else will pick it up, but unless people will help to rid these beautiful places from trash, they won’t be there or they will

become places you don’t want to go because it’s full of garbage. These resources won’t last for our grandchildren unless every person that carried in a plastic bottle or food wrapper would in turn, carry it back out. That alone would make a huge difference. We all need to be responsible for our own actions, and if you see someone littering please ask them to pick it up or take it out yourself. Who doesn’t have a plastic grocery bag tucked in the trunk or under your seat in the car . Let’s make this a beautiful place to live and a place to be proud of. Patricia Hendrickson Wabash

hit in Colleges and nightclubs. Capitol Records, The Lettermen’s record label, was reluctant to try to market a new name as The Lettermen wanted, due to the fact that it was already an established worldwide name. Since “The Way You (continued on page 14)

Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship awarded to Koehler A Wabash County student has been named recipient of a four-year, full-tuition scholarship as the C o m m u n i t y Foundation of Wabash County 2013

Lilly Endowment Community Scholar. Cutter Koehler will receive full tuition to the Indiana college of his choice and a $900 yearly stipend for required books and

equipment. Koehler will study for a career in medicine or related field and is considering colleges and universities in Indiana, including Butler

LILLY ENDOWMENT COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP WINNER, Cutter Koehler with his mother, Tracy Koehler, his grandmother and his father, Ken Koehler.

U n i v e r s i t y, M a n c h e s t e r University, and Trine University. He is a 2013 graduate of Wabash High School, 2012-2013 student body president, team captain of Academic Super Bowl, and a member of Key Club. After school and on weekends, he works as a pharmacy technician-in-training and is also an attendant for Eagles Theater. Cutter Koehler is the son of Ken and Tracy Koehler, Wabash. In addition to being an outstanding student, Koehler has an interest in politics, especially as it relates to healthcare. “There is no greater way to

have a profound impact than politics. I would like to join local government and try and work my way up the political ladder. I would use my knowledge about the healthcare system to make sure everyone can be treated fairly and economically.” In an interview, Koehler pointed to Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein as an important book in his personal education. As a future doctor, he appreciated her consideration of the limits of science and the limits of humanity. “It is interesting to think that a book written in the nineteenth century could have such enduring

appeal to the moral void created by scientific advancement,” he said. Twenty-three students from four high schools in Wabash County applied for the Lilly Endowment C o m m u n i t y Scholarship in 2013. The applicant pool was narrowed to six candidates based on academic achievement, essays, leadership, and community service. From the group of six finalists, the Community Foundation of Wabash County nominated one person and two alternates for the award. Independent Colleges of Indiana administers the Lilly

E n d o w m e n t C o m m u n i t y Scholarship program. ICI is a nonprofit corporation that represents 31 regionally accredited degree granting, nonprofit, private colleges and universities in the state. The scholarships are the result of a statewide Lilly Endowment initiative to help Hoosier students reach higher levels of education. Indiana ranks among the lowest states in the percentage of residents over the age of 25 with a bachelor’s degree. There were 142 scholarships awarded statewide.

Experts summarize livestock lessons learned from 2012 drought W E S T LAFAYETTE, IN Eastern Corn Belt livestock producers heading into breeding, calving and grazing seasons have much to learn and apply from last year’s drought, two Purdue Extension specialists say. While climatologists don’t expect a repeat of last summer’s extreme conditions, parts of the region are known for variable weather and milder late-season drought that can affect feed supplies. “Producers need to start out the season knowing what is in supply,” said Keith Johnson, Purdue Extension forage specialist. “If there is any amount of hay or silage that’s laid back,

know the number of days’ supply available in case you get in a pinch because of dry weather.” Early spring also is a good time to evaluate grazing strategies. Both Johnson and Purdue Extension beef specialist Ron Lemenager agreed that rotational grazing can keep pastures in better shape longer - whether conditions are stressful or not. By dividing pastures into paddocks and rotating animals from one section to the next, producers are giving pastures a chance to recover between grazing sessions. Producers should be scouting pastures and alfalfa stands, as well, and deciding how they will revamp

those that sustained damage from drought and overgrazing. Johnson said the earlier scouting is done, the better. “Seed is limited for many forages this year,” he said. “If producers plan to plant a forage crop, they should check with seed suppliers about availability and be prepared to place an order sooner than later.” “When asking suppliers about availability of seed, producers also should inquire about seed quality.” Equally as important for livestock producers is knowing animals’ body conditions coming out of winter and heading into calving and breeding seasons, Lemenager said.

WABASH SUBWAY

“I think during last year’s drought, we reconfirmed that body condition scores at calving and breeding season are really important reproductively,” he said. “Cows in breeding season need to have at least moderate body condition scores.” Resources for evaluating body condition scores for beef cattle are available on Purdue Extension’s Beef Blog at http://www.thebeefcenter.com. If feed supplies look to be short again this year, Lemenager said, cattle producers have some options to keep

calves fed and cows in acceptable body conditions. One such option is to supply supplements to cows to support lactation. “An alternative to that is to creep-feed the calf, and that might be a strategy if we are looking at short-term drought,” Lemenager said. “If it looks like we’re going to have a longer-term drought, I think the real strategy that should be considered is early weaning calves.” There were other lessons that came from the drought. There are many niche

crops that can be used as forages at particular times in the year when the need is most critical. Examples include small grains, brassicas and summer-annual grasses. Alfalfa is a very drought-tolerant plant. Some feeds labeled as dangerous by themselves, such as nitrate-containing corn silage or aflatoxin-infected corn, can be blended with other feedstuffs to create safe feeds. Corn silage and corn stalks in the right rations can make good-quality feed. Cows bred during May and early June

April is STD Awareness Month INDIANAPOLIS, IN – April is STD Awareness Month, and the most common STD is Human Papillomavirus, otherwise known as HPV. There are more than 40 types of HPV that can infect the genital areas of males and females. These HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat. Most HPV infections go away by

themselves within two years. But, sometimes, HPV infections will persist and can cause a variety of serious health problems, including Cervical cancer, Oral cancer , genital warts, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), a rare condition in which warts grow in the throat and genital cancers (cancer of the vulva, vagina, penis

or anus) . All cases of genital warts and RRP, and nearly all cases of cervical cancer, are caused by HPV. A subset of cancers of the vagina, vulva, anus, penis, and oropharynx, are caused by HPV. Approximately 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV, with 14 million people becoming

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is thought to cause an estimated 21,000 cases of cancer, including cervical, genital and oral cancers each year, which could be prevented with the HPV vaccination. “High risk HPV infections are an epidemic,” said Kirk Forbes, founder of Kirsten Forbes EVE Foundation. “And it is completely preventable by a vaccine.” The HPV vaccine, which consists of a three injection series, is approved for ages 926 for both boys and girls, and is being recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for all girls ages 11-12.

The application date received at the Honor Flight office is the selection criteria for each separate group. Get your application in today! BACK IN THE DAY: This bit of history was taken from the N. Manchester Historical Society website: Source: The News-Journal, Jan. 17, 1938: LET THERE BE LIGHT; AND

THERE WAS LIGHT: The Pleasant township farmers west and northwest of North Manchester are no longer in darkness. Thursday the current was turned on the electric line that extends from the Bull lake corner, east two miles and north passed the Bussard school house. It was the last of the lines in that section to be completed and the delay was caused by telephone lines that had to be moved to the opposite side of the roads. Most of the farmers

along the line had finished wiring their buildings and were ready for the electricity. The wait became rather tedious, especially after those along other lines were given service as a Christmas gift. However, Thursday the darkness ended and the old “coal oil” lamps were thrown into discard. The line crew is now working in Chester and Lagro townships, and while there has been some delay because of weather unfit for work of that character, it should not be

long until at least part of the farmers will also have electricity.

Pages are able to see how the state legislature works firsthand in a behind-the-scene tour. They work alongside legislators, legislative assistants and interns. On session days, pages experience how a bill becomes a law as they watch legislators on the House floor debate issues. Students also have the chance to tour the statehouse, see where the Governor works and observe floor sessions of the House, Senate and Supreme Court chambers.

County wrestlers at HYWAY State

by Gary Andrews 29 Members of the Wabash County Wrestling Club wrestled in the HYWAY State Tournament in Peru, Saturday, March 23. It was quite a day and by far the biggest tournament that a lot of our boys had ever been to, and for ten of our wrestlers this was their first time at the State Tournament. The meet keeps growing year after year and this year was no exception as there was nearly 650 p a r t i c i p a n t s wrestling on 12 mats. Some of the boys were in round-robin brackets and some were in traditional brackets having as many as 12-14 per weight class. The tournament placed the top eight wrestlers and the true brackets were run in a double elimination

fashion. Those wrestling hard but not making the top eight were Grayson Harner, Trent Osborn, Brayden Sickafus and Matt Carey. Kody Stambaugh placed seventh, Jared Holmes, Jaxon Barnett and Logan Carey placed sixth while Ethan Higgins was our lone fifth place finisher. Earning fourth place honors was Ashton Good, Izaak Pennington, JD Trisler, Kamron Honeycutt, Quentin Moore and Blayne Powell. Kaden Rody, Keaton Fields, Tyler Miller, Grant Warmuth, Drew Clark and Austin all earned hard fought third place medals. Those making it to the finals but coming up short and earning a much coveted state

Peterson said he recruited Kirtlan because he liked the way Jared ran his routes. Kirtlan said he hopes to see some playing time as a freshman, maybe as a returner then make the receiving squad the following year, if not before. Kirtlan also said he chose Kentucky Christian because it was a small school and he liked the teacher to student ratio.

Duke Energy warns customers about bill payment scam PLAINFIELD, IN. — Duke Energy is urging its Indiana customers to be alert for

a new bill payment scam. Under the scam, a customer receives an

unsolicited phone call from an individual who falsely claims to be a Duke Energy rep-

resentative. The caller falsely warns that Duke Energy will disconnect the customer’s electric service if the customer fails to make an immediate payment, usually within one hour. The caller instructs the customer to purchase a prepaid debit card, widely available at retail stores, then tells the customer to call back to supposedly make a payment to Duke Energy.

The caller asks the customer for the prepaid debit card’s receipt number and PIN number, giving the caller instant access to the card’s funds and the ability to immediately drain its balance. In reality, Duke Energy never asks or requires customers who have delinquent accounts to purchase a prepaid debit card to avoid electric service disconnection.

Customers can make payments online, by phone, by automatic bank draft, by mail or in person. Duke Energy customers who have delinquent accounts receive multiple notifications from the company over the course of several weeks prior to electric service disconnection, never just a single notification one hour before disconnection.

The company urges customers who suspect or experience fraud to hang up and call local police, then call Duke Energy in Indiana at 1-800-5212232. Duke Energy Indiana’s operations provide approximately 6,900 megawatts of owned electric capacity to approximately 790,000 customers, making it the state’s largest electric supplier.

Education for Conflict Resolution wraps up Families Talk About Aging Seminars

Education for Conflict Resolution (ECR) will present the final session of the four part Families Talk About Aging series on April 6. This session was originally scheduled for Feb. 23 but was postponed. The goal of the

series is to assist families in having the difficult conversations related to the aging process. The final presentation will be held, at no charge, from 10 - 11:30 a.m. in the Timbercrest Assembly Room. To get the most benefit, it is recommended that

family groupings of two or more attend, preferably with different generations present. As with all of the seminars, families will have the opportunity to both learn and practice the principles presented. Families Talk

About Aging has been taught by Cheri Krueckeberg, M a n c h e s t e r University Associate Professor of Social Work and Gerontology Director, and Beverly Eikenberry, Mediator and ECR Program Director.

On April 9, Krueckeberg and Eikenberry will present “Losing Independence-What does it REALLY mean?” Attendees will become aware of how each family member is dependent. Then Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, through

April is STD Awareness Month... continued from page 10 ages 9-26. According to the Indiana Cancer Facts & Figures 2012 report, infection with HPV is the single greatest risk factor for cervical cancer. HPV is passed person-to-person through sexual contact, so while boys aren’t at risk for cervical cancer, they can

be carriers of the virus and are at risk for both anal and oral cancers, as well as genital warts, caused by HPV. Recent discussions around the vaccination- especially for young girls and boys – has made media headlines. The CDC provides online infor-

mation on HPV vaccine safety to help parents and young adults better understand the benefits and risks of getting vaccinated. “Every 3 days, a Hoosier woman dies from cervical cancer,” Forbes stressed. “And it is our mission to not have another Kristen experience.”

Kristen Forbes EVE Foundation stands for educate and screen, vaccinate and eradicate cervical cancer. In 2008, Kirk Forbes’ daughter, Kristen, died of cervical cancer. She contracted the H u m a n Papillomavirus, or HPV. She was just 23,

and had recently graduated from college. Forbes created the foundation in her memory with a mission to help eradicate cervical cancer and significantly reduce HPV infection levels. For more information, visit www.kristeneve.org .

a non-profit organization based at M a n c h e s t e r University. ECR is dedicated to the task of “putting the understandings and skills needed for successful conflict resolutions into the hands of as many persons as possible.” To learn more about ECR, visit www.workitout.org.

American Red Cross celebrates hometown heroes As part of their March is Red Cross Month activities, The American Red Cross of North Central Indiana held a Hometown Heroes Celebration to honor

local heroes. There are many different ways to define what a hero is, but the Red Cross believes that hometown heroes are the people who make our local communi-

ties a safer, healthier and better place to live. “The Red Cross wouldn’t be able to do what we do every day—help area residents prevent and prepare for emergencies—without our hometown heroes, the people who donate their time, blood and financial resources. Without our heroes we wouldn’t be able to help disaster victims here in our own community, much less victims across the country, or even around the world,” said Mitch Figert, Executive Director of the American Red Cross of North Central Indiana. “Last year alone, we trained 4,078 people in the lifesaving skills like CPR, and our volunteers responded to 197 local emergencies, right

here in North Central Indiana.” “This year we dedicated an event to thank and celebrate all of our hometown heroes, those who make a difference through the Red Cross, and others, including firemen, police officers, teachers, nurses and other ‘ordinary’ people who have accomplished something ‘extraordinary,’” said Figert. The American Red Cross of North Central Indiana held their first annual Hometown Heroes Celebration on Tuesday, March 26th at the Honeywell Center in Wabash. The event featured entertainment by Groovetone, a meal catered by the Honeywell Center, twenty-five raffle baskets donated by local

merchants, and recognition of chapter volunteers. At the event, Daniel Hawkins, a volunteer with the American Red Cross Disaster Action Team in Miami County was named as the organization’s 2013 volunteer of the year. More than 120 individuals attended the event from throughout the chapter’s service area, including representatives from NIPSCO who sponsored the event. The event also honored two local Hometown Heroes. Honors were presented in two categories – Professional and Good Samaritan. The awards, presented by Dave Mann who served as the Master of Ceremonies for the event, honored local individuals who exhibited selfless acts

Deputy Matt Cox with the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department was awarded the Professional award and Claire Coyne, Director of Lighthouse Mission in Wabash, was honored with the Good Samaritan award. These individuals’ extraordinary acts exemplify the American Red Cross mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering. They embody the spirit of the American Red Cross to turn compassion into action. “Funds raised at the event will support local American Red Cross programs,” Figert stated. “The American Red Cross

National Public Health week Ensure Your Home is Safe and Healthy This week is National Public Health Week (NPHW), an annual observance where communities across the country recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues, which are important to improving the health of the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public health is a term thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not neces-

sarily well understood in the community,â&#x20AC;? said State Health Commissioner William VanNess, M.D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simply put, public health protects and improves lives. It impacts every aspect of living, including the safety of the water and food you consume, response to emergencies, tracking and responding to infectious diseases, having an immunized population, long term care, prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, and so much more. Public health works to educate and empower citizens to lead healthy

lifestyles. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NPHW theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public Health is Return on Investment (ROI): Save Lives, Save Moneyâ&#x20AC;? and focuses on the economic impact of health and on the role that everyone in the community has to support public health and prevention. Creating a safe and healthy home environment can be done in many ways, such as keeping your home smoke-free, ensuring your children are current on their immunizations, stocking your refrigerator with fruits, vegetables and practicing safe and proper food handling techniques. Accidents and injuries in the home pose a serious health threat. According to the latest State statistics from 2010, nearly 2,000

Hoosiers died from non-transport injuries such as falls, drowning, poisoning and exposure to smoke and fire. Taking precautions like installing and maintaining smoke detectors, putting fences around swimming pools, removing clutter, having proper lighting and creating an emergency plan can sometimes mean the difference between life and death or serious injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having an emergency plan and emergency kit are important steps to take in keeping your family safe during an emergency,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. VanNess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home and if you have toddlers, place safety devices on electrical outlets and child-proof latches on doors and cupboards where little ones could get into toxic chemicals or other dangerous items.â&#x20AC;?

Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” I WOULD like for you to send your news and pictures to me by Thursday before the Tuesday, when The Paper comes out to etheleib@gmail.com or 2258 E 1050 S LaFontaine, IN, 46940.
