Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Local man continues recovery following 2009 accident

by Brent Swan On Aug. 24, 2009, rural Wabash resident Albert McMillan was traveling south on old SR 15 on his way home from nursing classes at Ivy Tech Community College in Wabash. A vehicle crossed the centerline and hit him head on, causing an accident violent enough that McMillan was trapped inside his vehicle for approximately 45 minutes. After being airlifted to Parkview Hospital, Fort Wayne, McMillan was in the Intensive Care Unit for several weeks. McMillan underwent more than a dozen surgeries over the span of four months to slowly piece him back together. After receiving 91 units of blood, and enduring 15 different surgeries, McMillan lost his leg. “I was unconscious for quite a while,” McMillan said. “After I woke up, I began to realize how bad off I really was. They literally began to piece me back together.” M c M i l l a n ’ s abdomen has been almost completely reconstructed using

muscles from other areas, resulting in the loss of core strength. “I try to make light of it all now by calling myself the million dollar miracle,” McMillan said. “Between all the surgeries, the hospital stays, and the rehab, I was around $1.5 million dollars the last time I checked.” Those bills resulted in McMillan making the decision to move away from his farm he had called home for years. “It was too much to handle,” McMillan said. “One of the most difficult things you have to deal with after an accident like this was the rehab itself. Having good people around you to help you out really makes everything easier to a degree. The nurses and doctors at Parkview were great.” It was shortly after he awoke from his coma that McMillan learned as to what caused his accident. “I was told at the hospital that the accident stemmed from a younger female who had been texting while driving,” McMillan said. “It’s crazy to think that

simply not paying attention caused something like this to happen.” McMillan does admit however, that some good has possibly come from his accident. “In 2010, Parkview Hospital had a huge trauma symposium and it centered largely on my accident,” McMillan said. “They worked the scene like they did with me, from the extrication to the mock flight to the patient injuries.” After spending months in rehab, McMillan was eventually fitted with a prosthetic leg. “The first leg I got was unable to function like a leg would,” McMillan explained. “If I wanted to take a step forward, I had to swing it forward to get the actual step. My current leg has the computer chip and mechanics that help me get along much better.” In fact, McMillan just recently received a unique prosthesis, a swimming flipper, constructed by SRT Prosthetics in Fort Wayne. “I had seen some(continued on page 5)

Lagro Fire Department upgrades grass truck

by Brent Swan The Lagro Volunteer Fire Department welcomed a much-needed upgrade to its fleet in May by adding a 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 HD Crew Cab Quick Attack Truck. The newest addition replaces the previous grass rig, a converted 1967 Dodge Power Wagon. “The Dodge was originally used by Lincolnville as their primary pumper,” Lagro Fire Department Chief Scott Siders said. “We got it about ten years ago and converted it to a grass rig. Most, if not all, of the work done to convert it to what we needed was done by members of the Lagro Volunteer Fire Department.” After discussing it with the township’s advisory board, Lagro Township Trustee Andy DeLong received approval to make an upgrade. “We decided that if we were going to make an upgrade that we wanted something that could serve a variety of functions,” DeLong said. “This truck as it is set up now can draft like a tanker, push foam at a car fire, can fight grass fires, and will now be the first truck to run on a medical run.” The new truck has been equipped with a skid unit, built by Tower Fire Apparatus with the truck’s actual dimensions in mind. “This truck is much more functional,” Siders said. “Everything from the skid unit to the lighting system which is much more stream lined.” “Ultimately, this truck allows our firefighters to get to the scene more quickly and safely than the previous truck,” DeLong continued. “The other truck served us well while we had it, but this was a needed change.”

American Red Cross Blood Drive in Memory of Rod and Sarah Haupert A blood drive in memory of Rod and Sarah Haupert will be held Thursday, Aug. 23, from 1 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Urbana Community Center in the Fellowship Hall, located at 16 E. Half St., Urbana. Rod and his daughter Sarah were tragically killed in an automobile accident last year. Sarah, just 21, was a loyal blood donor. Rod and Sarah were both known in the community as

people who would help or do anything for anyone. Marty Haupert, Rod’s wife and Sarah’s mother, is hoping that the entire community will turn out to donate at this blood drive in their memory. “They were both full of love, very outgoing and very happy people,” said Marty. “My daughter gave blood every time she could so I hope others will continue that habit of giving.”

Every two seconds someone in America needs blood. Blood products are needed every day by cancer patients, accident and trauma victims, people undergoing surgery, or others needing ongoing or emergency medical care. With the constant need for blood and blood products the American Red Cross hopes individuals can find time to donate at this special blood drive.

2012 volunteer fire assistance grants announced

Rural and volunteer fire departments from 39 counties across Indiana have been awarded more than $242,000 in Volunteer Fire Assistance grants. The grants are administered by the DNR Division of

Forestry’s Fire Control Headquarters and are made available through the USDA Forest Service. DNR staff members review grant applications and select recipients on the basis of population density, acres of

public wildlands protected, wildland fire reporting to DNR Fire Control Headquarters and other parameters, with a focus toward protecting the state’s wildlands. VFA grants may be used for training, installation of dry

hydrants, or to purchase necessary firefighting equipment and personal protective gear. The grants awarded range from $265 to $5,000 and were given to 61 fire departments. Fire departments interested in applying

Limited hay cutting allowed on Classified Wildlands

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has announced that landowners who have non-forested acreage enrolled in the Classified Forest and Wildlands Program may be eligible for a special permit to allow hay cutting on a limited basis. “The DNR recognizes the drought has taken a significant toll on hay production across the state and that many farmers are in need of livestock feed,” DNR Director Rob Carter said. “Allowing hay to be cut on a limited amount of acreage on classified wildlands may benefit these livestock producers.” The Classified Forest and Wildlands Program encourages landowners to enroll property for the purpose of promoting good forestry and wildlife management. Landowners will be allowed to cut up to 10 percent or five acres of hay, whichever is less. The acreage calculation will be based on

the non-forested acreage enrolled in the program. “The special permit for cutting hay is a deviation from our standard rules, but we think that the unprecedented drought justifies a one-time special permit,” Carter said. Classified Forest and Wildland owners interested in obtaining a special permit should contact their district forester. A list of district foresters can be found at dnr.IN.gov/forestry.

for VFA grants should contact Crystal M. Hunt, program coordinator, Fire Control Headquarters, 6220 Forest Road, Martinsville 46151, or call (765) 342-4701.

Steve Van Voorhis Receives Edward Jones Award for Exceptional Achievement in Building Client Relationships Steve Van Voorhis of the financial services firm Edward Jones in Wabash recently won the firm’s Jack Phelan Award for his exceptional achievement in building client relationships. “It’s truly an honor to receive recognition for building relationships with those clients we serve,” said Van Voorhis. “And it’s quite inspirational to receive an award named after a firm legend such as Jack

Phelan who was dedicated to individual investors and understood each investor’s unique financial goals.” Van Voorhis was one of 300 of the firm’s 12,000 financial advisors to receive the Jack Phelan award. The award is named after Jack Phelan, who, after joining the firm in 1950, became one of the firm’s first “TNT” brokers, traveling the countryside Tuesday through Thursday, bringing

investment advice to rural investors. “Steve’s success hinges on his ability to know and understand the financial needs and goals of his clients, long-term individual investors,” said Jim Weddle, the firm’s managing partner. “Our clients most appreciate recommendations tailored to their situations and the high level of personal service Steve provides.”

Pamela Roseberry and Daniel Partenheimer wed June 16

The double wedding ring ceremony that united Pamela Roseberry and Daniel Partenheimer was held June 16 in Waterloo, Iowa at the Church of God Worship Center. Reverend Marshall Staten officiated. Her father, John Powell, gave away the bride. The maid of honor was Judy Morgan and Amanda Powell was a bridesmaid. The best man to the groom was Ed Gullett, while Don Partenheimer was the groomsman. The couple wanted to thank Ed and Teresa Gullett and to John Walker, who provided the music.

thing similar on the internet, which got me wondering if there was anything like that available,” McMillan said of the flipper. “The guys up at SRT came up with a prototype and put it together with no cost to me besides the actual Mako flipper.” The prosthetic has a carbon fiber wrapped piece of Styrofoam at the attachment nearest the leg. A pole then extends downward so that McMillan is able to affix a swimming flipper, affording him the ability to swim again. “I was never much of a swimmer before the accident,” McMillan admitted. “After getting this though, I can see how much it helps me to regain some of the strength I have lost. I know I’ll never get a lot of it back, but when I first started with this flipper, I could only go three laps at the YMCA pool. Now, I can go for a full 12 laps.” Taking it all in, McMillan said it is easy to remain bitter after the accident. “After three years, and plenty of time in the hospital, you have plenty of time to sit and think about what happened,” McMillan said. “At first you really want to ask why me, and to a degree

you still do. Now, I just hope the other driver was able to learn something from this. Hopefully, by raising awareness as to what can happen when texting and driving, someone else doesn’t have to go through something like this.”

Eighth Annual “Go for the flAG” Raises Funds for Ag Education Community, Businesses and Farmers Raise Dollars for Ag Scholars

WANTED

The eighth annual “Go for the flAG” event, held on Saturday, July 14, at Timber Ridge Golf Course, raised more than $12,000 for Wells County students pursuing careers in agriculture and the applied sciences. The popular fundraiser exceeded 2011’s event proceeds which funded nine $1,200 scholarships awarded to students at Southern Wells, Norwell and Bluffton high schools. According to Bob Purlee, District Sales Manager at Brodbeck Seeds, the event’s success reflects the support of a community that recognizes both the economic vitality and quality of life that agriculture brings to a community. “We hear so much about young people who are struggling to find jobs, but agriculture provides all kinds of career opportunities; we just need

wide swath of industries including seed, animal nutrition, equipment, soil sciences, veterinary medicine and much more. “Go for the flAG” originated with a steering committee comprised of Purlee, PNC Bank-Bluffton President Phil Swain and farmers Joe Kober, Travis Sills, Jeff Prible and Tom Longenberger. Local farmers Matt Krinn, Mark Krinn and Bruce Leas have since joined the steering committee which is charged with raising community awareness of the event and directing funds raised to the Dollars for Scholars organization. “High school counselors are an important group of influencers for us to engage and we’re committed to getting more schools involved in ag education,” Purlee noted.

Dave Troxel of Troxel Equipment, a John Deere dealer in Bluffton, Wabash and Huntington, said that farming is demanding new types of agriculture professionals. “Technology is increasing demand for engineers, technicians and science professionals. The laptop has become one of farmers’ main tools,” Troxel said. Beyond technology, an increasing population is also putting demand on agriculture. “Farmers are in the business of producing food, fuel and fiber, making their work more important than ever,” Troxel added. According to PNC Bank-Bluffton President Phil Swain, the community was generous in its support of this event. “We had 76 sponsors and 35 teams participating in the event.

Businesses in this area understand that we all have an interest in protecting the health and vitality of our ag community,” he said. Swain also noted the role of Dollars for Scholars in managing and awarding the scholarship funding. “By partnering with Dollars for Scholars, local farmers are able to focus on raising the funds and can rely on an organization with five decades of experience to administer, award and manage the scholarships,” he said. According to Don Setterlof, Executive Director of Indiana Dollars for Scholars, “Go for the flAG” represents the grassroots support Indiana communities have for education. “Our organization was founded 50 years ago with a goal of getting every member of a small community to award just $1 for education, and last year, $3.5 million was awarded to help Indiana students offset the cost of higher education,” he said. Philanthropy aside, Phil Swain said the “Go for the flAG” event is a good way for farmers to relax away from the fields during a hectic time of year. “It’s a great cause, and it’s also a really good reason for 135 farmers to get together and have some fun!” he said.

The Dam Swim A Most Excellent Adventure, Take 2 $ $ E SAV

On July 12, Brian Dawson and 10 of his swim buddies took to the Mississinewa Reservoir for the second year in a row to participate in what is now known as the Dam Swim. This year’s swim was tagged as “A Most Excellent Adventure, Take 2.” After being transported by boats to the SR13 bridge, the swimmers entered the water under the bridge and swam the 7.5 miles to the dam. The goal was to swim to the Miami SRA beach. This year’s group of swimmers consisted of Wabash-area individuals Josh Blossom, Sarah Cole, Brian Dawson, Amy Ford, Erika Ford, Melissa Ford, Sally Highley, Lea Howard, Jami Rice, Steve Wagner, and Abbey Wiles. Brian Dawson completed the swim in just under four hours, while Sally Highley finished about 30 minutes later. The other swimmers swam anywhere from a mile to six miles of the course. The swimmers were assisted by two safety boats operated by Ron and Lavonne Sparland and Steve and Caroline Rices. The boaters had boat mates Brodie and Fisher Howard along

the Mississinewa Reservoir. Without his permission and the DNR this event would not have been possible as it takes a special permit to allow the swimmers to swim in waters restricted to boaters, skiers, and fishermen.

NORTHFIELD CLASS OF 1982: (Thanks to Pam Hann for submitting the picture and this write up.) “Saturday, July28, was the date for the 30th class reunion of the Northfield Class of 1982. It was held at the home of Bryan and Kim Frank (both members of the 1982 class). It was an absolutely beautiful setting for our evening. The weather was too good to believe. In a summer mixed with above average temperatures and below average rainfall, both factors came together in the week proceeding to give us the perfect “unstorm” (if that is a word). After a brief welcome and a very eloquently offered prayer, our meal consisted of delicious pulled pork and lots of yummy side dishes provided by those class members still living with the county. We filled our plates, scattered our lawn chairs out and

enjoyed all of the good food, catching up with classmates and sharing stories of our friends and families all while listening to classic 80’s music and watching several classmates play the yard game “corn hole.” As the evening progressed, we couldn’t believe that several people were actually putting on light jackets and sweatshirts, so Bryan and Kim set us up with a nice fire; lawn chairs were pulled closer and the conversations continued. Just like

Cinderella, before we knew it, it was midnight. The class members still there helped with a quick clean up, made sure the biggest part of the mess was taken care of, gave out some hugs, wished everyone safe travel, thanked Bryan and Kim once again for opening their home, and the evening was done.” NEWS ITEMS AND/OR PICTURES may be mailed to me at 1906 N 100 W, Wabash, or emailed to me at mamast1906@comcast.net.

Haupert reminds readers of consequences of decisions Dear editor, When we decide to do something how often do we stop and think how it will affect others? One year ago because of the choices of another, our lives were changed forever. Our family has had to spend Christmas, birthdays joyful moments without our loved ones. One person decides to drive impaired and the next thing you know you have to make lifechanging decisions on your own. You no longer have the person who fixes the little things, services the vehicles, mows the lawn, plants the garden, or just be your strength when needed because you no longer have a spouse. You no longer have all the hustle and bustle of young people in and out of your house, plans turned upside down with no notice, the joys of accomplishment, the tears of failure or broken hearts, those little things that make each day one to remember because you now have no child. Not to mention those days set aside just for you, because you carried that child or raised them up trying to instill in them responsibility, good decision making, do unto others, and make sure you leave this place a better one because you were here. God gave us all good sense I just wish we would all use it. Stop, think, and realize it is not just you that you are making decisions for when you drink or do drugs and get behind the wheel of a vehicle. That unsuspecting person on their way to work, a date with

friends, an errand, just running out to get something needed not thinking this may be their last trip, because you have decided to not use good sense. The family whose life you are about to change forever, the loss that will never go away because there will be no closure and no goodbye. The heartache that they did not choose, but instead you chose for them by not using better judgment. Our lives were changed forever on Aug. 14, 2011. Our family will never be the same. Our loss is overwhelming some days and it does not seem to lessen as the days pass by. We just want everyone to use that good judgment given to each of us. Call someone if you are impaired. If you need to drink, do it at home, then stay there. Remember you may not care what happens to you, but that unsuspecting person or persons in that other vehicle did not choose for you to change their lives or the lives of their families. Don’t drive impaired, make good decisions. Live and let live. Rod and Sarah Haupert - we will miss you forever. All who knew you carry your loss. Marty did not choose this, they had plans - big plans that will never be brought to light. We can’t change what happened, but only hope this will help someone else make a good decision and think of others. May God guide you when you turn the key. Lisa Haupert North Manchester

Representative David Wolkins Speaks to Kiwanis

S t a t e Representative David Wolkins (Rep. — Winona Lake) spoke to the Wabash Kiwanis Club on Aug. 7 about the major issues in the last legislative session and the agenda for the upcoming year. Rep. Wolkins has been a representative since 1988 in State House District 18, which covers portions of Kosciusko,

Elkhart, and LaGrange Counties. Wabash County is currently represented by Rep. Rebecca Kubacki in the 22nd district, but that will soon change. Following the recent redrawing of legislative district boundaries, all of Wabash County will become a part of the 18th district following this year’s election cycle. Rep. Wolkins

won the Republican primary and will face Democrat Chris Wright in the general election this November. Rep. Wolkins sponsored House Enrolled Act 1002, which was signed by Governor Daniels into law earlier this year. The legislation promoted smaller government by repealing various committees throughout state government that were outdated, duplicative, unnecessary or inefficient.

“I believe that the best government is a small government. We need to end the bureaucracy and red tape and allow Hoosiers to make decisions for themselves,” Wolkins said.

Watch for Children and School Busses

The 2012-13 school year is about to begin in north central Indiana. The start of school brings increased bus traffic and children waiting or walking near roadways. The Indiana State Police would like to remind motorists to watch for children in school zones and waiting to board busses, especially in the early morning hours. Remember, whenever the school bus stop arm is extended you are required by Indiana law to stop. Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a class B misdemeanor punishable with up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Troopers will have zero tolerance for anyone disregarding a school bus

stop arm or speeding in a school zone. Parents, most school bus-related accidents involve children who dash in front of a car or school bus to retrieve papers or other dropped articles. You should emphasize the danger zone immediately surrounding the school bus. The area, approximately ten feet around the bus, is where most children are injured. The bus driver has limited visibility in this area. Parents should encourage children to carry articles in a back pack or book bag and never chase after dropped items. Parents should also remind children of these school bus safety tips: * Wait for the bus in

a safe place away from traffic. * No horseplay at the bus stop. * Wait until the bus and other traffic comes to a complete stop before approaching the bus. * Always cross in front of the bus. * When on the bus remain seated and talk quietly so the driver will not be distracted. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure our children are able to safely travel to school. Citizens are encouraged to report anyone observed disregarding a school bus stop arm by calling their local law enforcement agency or the Indiana State Police at 1-800382-0689.

Wabash County currently has 95 registered sex or violent offenders assigned. Of those 95, 58 are actively residing in Wabash County. The other 37 are currently incarcerated in various detention facilities throughout Indiana. During the compliance checks, each of the active 58 offenders were each visited by teams of Sheriff ’s Officers, U.S Marshals and Indiana State Police Officers to validate that they were in compliance with the sex or violent offender registry laws.

Sale of Champions raises $155,133 for 4-H youth Of the 25 projects in the 42nd annual 4-H Sale of Champions, two raised record amounts. Overall, the sale generated a total of $155,133 that helps 4-H members attend college, purchase future 4-H livestock projects and develop careers. This year’s sale featured an “intense” sibling rivalry between Alexandra Raute, 14, and Samantha Raute, 17. Younger sister Alexandra raised $3,850 with her Reserve Grand Champion Market Lamb; Samantha fol-

lowed with her Champion Hampshire Market Lamb, raising $3,050. “She [Samantha] is older, so she gets the better sheep,” Alexandra said, even though this year, the younger Raute sister had the better showing. “We’re usually very competitive in the barn.” The following is a listing of individual projects sold. Record amounts are indicated by an asterisk (*): Champion 4-H Meat Pen of Rabbits Brandt Walter, Huntington County, $6,500
