Wabash City Middle School teacher begins search for kidney following surprise diagnosis Routine life insurance tests reveal 95 percent renal failure

by Brent Swan After purchasing her home in 2011, 29 year-old Spanish teacher Abi Armentrout did what many younger homeowners begin to think about… Take out a life insurance policy. In doing so, however, Armentrout was denied coverage after her blood test results revealed possible issues with her kidneys. “After I got the results back, I went to my local doctor who performed more blood work,” Armentrout said. “That blood work initially showed something abnormal, but an additional test ultimately provided no answer. At that point, I guess I just kind of slipped through.” About six months later, Armentrout began to experience terrible headaches she assumed were migraines. “I got treated for the migraines for a while, but eventually the treatments stopped working,” Armentrout explained. A piece of helpful advice from a co-worker eventually led to discovery of the root cause. “Someone she worked with told her she should get her eyes checked,” her father, Eric Armentrout said. “She made an appointment with an eye doctor in Fort Wayne and went to see if they could fix the problem. As part of their normal routine before seeing a patient, they checked her blood pressure.” Much to her dismay, her blood pressure was 190/120. Abi was

then sent to the Fort Wayne Lutheran Emergency Room where she was admitted. After a series of tests and blood work, Armentrout was told of her diagnosis. “Two days later, after running all kinds of blood tests, they came back and said she had 95 percent total kidney loss,” Eric said. “They told us she was going to have to go on dialysis.” At that point, Abi opted for peritoneal dialysis, a process in which a permanent tube is placed in the patient’s abdomen allowing for the patient to connect to a pump and go through the dialysis process while asleep in their own home. “One of the first questions I asked in the hospital was if and when I could go back to work,” Abi said. “The nurses looked at me and said most people that go on this type of treatment opt to go on disability. I’m 29 years old, what am I going to do the rest of my life? I chose this so I could keep teaching.” Having been part of the Wabash City Schools Corporation for three years, and a staff member of Wabash City Schools for two years, Armentrout said the process has greatly affected her lifestyle. “My life is essentially on hold,” Abi explained. “There’s a lot of things I want to do, but this just gets in the way. It’s so tedious and there’s so much involved. Because of the sheer volume of stuff involved with this, traveling is impossible. I’m always tired, and I’m always cold now too.” After undergoing the dialysis for several months, Abi and her

family visited her doctors at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne to determine if she was eligible for a kidney transplant. She is. “In June, we started the process of getting her on the donor program. They decided she was healthy enough to be a candidate, and that she has cleared all the hurdles,” Eric said. “I volunteered to become a donor. They started that day getting my blood checked, the blood type, and the markers. I matched 4 or 5 markers, which made me a great candidate. I went up and tested about 3 or 4 additional times for various things throughout the process and everything was going fine until they conducted a urine collection, which found that my remaining kidney might not keep up with my physical needs in the future.” After her father was ruled out as a possible donor, Abi’s sister Emily volunteered. During her screening process, she too was ruled out. “The last thing the hospital wants to do is create another person on dialysis like Abi, so (continued on page 5)

Rotary North Manchester on Dec. 6 will dedicate a halfmile path it hopes will inspire the community to finally step forth on a network of trails for walkers, runners and bicyclists. The month-old paved path bordering North East Street between Timbercrest Senior Living Community and M a n c h e s t e r University already is seeing traffic. A brief celebration

at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6 will officially open “Robin’s Way” at the north end of the path, across from Timbercrest, said Brian Daniels, president of Rotary North M a n c h e s t e r. C o m m u n i t y, University and Timbercrest celebrants are invited to test the trail (swiftly and slowly) and then gather afterward in the Timbercrest lobby for sweet refreshment. “North Manchester developed a trails program more than 15 years ago, but we’ve not moved forward on it,” said Chris Garber, Town Council president and Rotarian. “This path is a challenge to other service clubs and agencies to join our trek to a trails network that will connect the entire community.” Robin’s Way has united a community of volunteers, l a n d o w n e r s , Timbercrest, the University, contractors, donors and Rotarians. Right-ofway agreements came from several landowners and the Town of North Manchester. North East Street landowners Mitch and Penny Schutz and Ryan Hedstrom and Elizabeth Struble pro-

vided easements for the half-mile path. Then came sizable donations from Timbercrest and local Rotarians. Friends and relatives added donations in memory of late Rotarian Robin Lahman, the path’s namesake. The total cost will exceed $100,000, including signage, a Rotary blue bench, safety barrier and maintenance. Some fundraising remains. “Robin wanted Rotary to unite the community in making a trails system a reality,” said Daniels. “We wish he were here to share in our success, and to walk Robin’s Way with us.” Robin’s Way is for walking, bicycling and running. While carts are permitted (for safe travel along this narrow stretch of North East Street), larger motorized vehicles, motorcycles, snowmobiles and ATVs are not. The Town of North Manchester will maintain the path. “After years of community discussion about a trails network in the North Manchester area, now it’s finally begun,” said Garber, who shepherded the Robin’s Way project. “The Parks Department has a trails map. There is a plan for a trails sys-

tem in North Manchester. “Bicyclists, walkers and runners now can embark on Robin’s Way, and perhaps capture the vision of Rotary North Manchester and Robin Lahman of pathways that will connect all of the c o m m u n i t y. Hopefully, they, too, will work to ‘make it so.’” Robin Lahman exemplified Rotary North Manchester’s passion for this community and service to this community. He and his wife, Jeannette, provided the leadership funding for the path. With Jeanette’s help, he chaired the Rotary’s Election Day Pancake Breakfasts for years. He died in September 2010. Eads and Sons Excavating, Lewis Tree Service and Gaunt and Son Asphalt are the Robin’s Way contractors. The Town of North Manchester donated millings from its recent paving projects for the asphalt foundation. To donate to Robin’s Way, contact Susan Floor, treasurer of Rotary North Manchester at 260982-7551, x2309 or Rotary North Manchester, PO Box 29, North Manchester, IN 46962.

Dear editor, I was surprised to see that Wabash County has issued computers to their students. I am a former Wabash County resident and currently reside in Cobb County, Ga. We had this computer issue several years ago, 2004/ 2005 with Superintendent Joseph Redden and the school board pushing hard to issue Apple laptop computers to every Cobb County middle and high school student at a cost of $88 mil-

lion. The people of Cobb County sent Joseph Redden packing. It was a very heated issue of its time. The parent’s concerns at the time were the costs to tax payers and the perceived $88 million was just a loose estimate. There were the concerns of the cost from students damaging the computers, selling the computers and the students whose families that could not afford Internet service. Was the next step to

provide those families with Internet service? The list of concerns went on and on and the parents felt it was not a well thought out issue. We did have deeper illegal issues that were hidden from the parents with regards to the contracts and payoffs. Wabash County now has parents that have to worry about the safety of their children surfing the Internet unsupervised while the parents are working to

provide for the families. Every uncomfortable word to a parent that is heard by their child in school can be easily Googled. Currently Cobb County has approximately 700,000 residents and we still do not provide each student with a computer. Computer use is provided in the school computer labs, public libraries and at home on computers provided by the parents. Paula Drook Cobb County, Ga.

Livestock Market Development Grant, and the 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock Grant. The deadline for all livestock grants is Feb. 1, 2013. The 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock Grant is an opportunity for 4-H or FFA chapters to “pay it forward” to deserving students interested in the livestock sector for the purchase of breeding stock to start a livestock enterprise or add animals to an existing operation. The Indiana Livestock Promotion Grant is for qualifying organizations to submit project proposals designed to promote the livestock industry in Indiana through

shows, sales, exhibitions, conventions, or similar events and programs. The Indiana Livestock Marketing Development Grant is for qualifying organizations to submit project proposals for value added feasibility studies, research projects, market development, or other projects that encourage the development of business and industry related to livestock production, processing and distribution. “ISDA is proud to make these funds available to help promote the livestock industry and to educate this next generation of agriculture entrepreneurs,” said Indiana Agriculture

Director, Joe Kelsay. Eligibility: Not-for-Profit organizations, commissions and associations are eligible for all three grants. All livestock grants are 50:50 matching funds. 4-H/FFA Youth Livestock Grant: Not-for-profits should solicit applications from Indiana 4-H/FFA youth. Youth applicants are reviewed by the nonfor-profit and select applicants they wish to request funds for. The not-for-profit will submit the 4H/FFA Youth Livestock application via email to ISDA. Indiana Livestock Promotion Grant: non-Profit organiza-

tions, commissions and associations are eligible to apply for this grant. The Indiana Livestock Promotion Grant entities must work to promote the livestock industry in Indiana. Indiana Livestock Market Development Grant: not-for-profits organizations, commissions, and associations are eligible to apply for funds that will work to develop or expand business or industry related to the livestock production, processing and distribution. The not-for-profit will submit the Indiana Livestock Market Development Grant to be eligible for these funds.

Wabash City Middle School teacher begins search for kidney... continued from front page

we were both ruled out,” Eric said. “It was terribly disappointing for me to hear I was no longer a candidate, but I think a relief for her at the same time. She was worried about me giving my kidney. I have a sister and a nephew that have started the process now. Where we sit today, Abi is an eligible recipient, she could get a phone call at any point saying we have a donor. The doctors have told us to expect a 3-5 year wait.” As time has progressed, Abi has managed to time her daily routine so that she can continue to teach at Wabash Middle School. “It’s getting routine

now,” Abi said. “I need to be in bed at 8 p.m. since it takes about ten hours to cycle. I’ve got my days timed just well enough that I can finish my treatment and make it to school, but it is difficult to be able to take part in extracurricular school activities since I have to get ready for the next treatment every evening.” As they wait for a potential donor volunteers, a kidney, or one to become available via a cadaver, the Armentrouts hope to raise organ donation awareness. “There is a great need out there for donors. Not just kidneys, but livers and other body parts – in the State of Indiana

and even in the Wabash community,” Eric said. “We focus on kidneys because that’s what our daughter needs. I’m disappointed that I cannot help my daughter. The tests that Emily and I went through are paid for, in full, by Abi’s insurance. Those that choose to be tested bear no expense. I’ve watched TV programs and spoken with doctors and have learned that donors can be back to full strength within a couple weeks.” For those interested in potentially volunteering a kidney for Abi or others in need, contact Valerie Bartoo, Lutheran Hospital’s live donor coordinator at 260-435-

If a potential donor passes the initial test, they will receive instructions on where to go to get blood drawn. “The process as a whole has gone very well.

It’s not being resolved in the timeframe and the way that we may want. But when it’s all said and done, we’ll say then that we understand why we were dealt this; maybe we won’t ever understand, but it all will work out in the end.”

Feed, lean hog prices lessen drought’s blow to pork producers

An increase in lean hog prices and a decrease in feed costs have combined to reduce the drought’s effect on the pork industry, a Purdue Extension agricultural economist says. During the height of the drought, when December corn futures reached $8.49 per bushel and December soybean meal futures reached $540 per ton, markets anticipated heavy liquidation of sows. That feared liquidation dropped December lean hog futures to $70, and producers anticipated per-head losses of $50$60, Chris Hurt said. “A panic response might have been to cover substantial amounts of feed needs at record high prices, to forwardprice lean hog futures

before the outlook worsened or to just sell out altogether,” he said. “Now that the damage from the 2012 drought is better known, those who did not panic are facing much smaller losses than what were feared at the height of the crisis.” In drought years, feed prices often peak at or just after the height of the drought, then decrease. That trend has continued in 2012, with December corn futures now near $7.40 per bushel and December soybean meal futures closer to $425 per ton. According to Hurt, a $1-per-bushel reduction in corn prices and a $100-per-ton reduction in soybean meal prices lower hog production costs by about $12 per head.

“Lower feed prices are important to the reduction in anticipated losses, but improved lean hog prices have been even more significant,” he said. “December lean hog futures are currently above $80, which represents at least a $10 increase over drought-induced liquidation fears in early September. A $10 increase in lean hog prices means more than a $20 reduction in anticipated losses.” The increased lean hog prices combined with lower feed costs have translated into reduced losses of about $30 per head about 40 percent coming from the lower feed prices and 60 percent from higher lean hog futures, Hurt said.

that sow liquidation didn’t occur. Producers increased sow slaughter in early July and continued that trend through mid-October. “During this 14week period, sow slaughter averaged four percent higher than for the same weeks of 2011 and likely resulted in a national breeding herd reduction of about two percent,” Hurt said. “In the weeks since midOctober, sow slaughter has dropped below

previous-year levels as optimism for a much-improved outlook in 2013 was unfolding.” That optimism might be warranted. Hurt said a return to profitability could come as early as spring.

The Indiana E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t C o r p o r a t i o n announced today that this year it has already worked with 220 companies that have made decisions to expand or establish new business operations in Indiana, outpacing the 219 decisions by companies announced at yearend last year and every other year on record. “With nearly five weeks left in the year, 2012 has already broken the state’s alltime record for number of deals won,” said Dan Hasler, Secretary of Commerce and chief executive officer of the Indiana Economic D e v e l o p m e n t

Corporation. “This is especially remarkable considering the ongoing concerns over the ‘fiscal cliff ’ that have caused many companies to curtail investment plans.” The 220 companies anticipate investing $3.6 billion in their Indiana operations and creating 20,866 new jobs in the coming years. These new positions pay an expected average hourly wage of $22.35, above the state’s current hourly wage of $19.66. Meanwhile, the average amount of state conditional tax incentives offered to companies on a per job basis is $8,916, down from around $37,000 in previous administrations. “Under Governor

1 42 5 N. Ca s s S t, W a ba s h Cr o s si n g • 26 0- 56 3- 03 52

Daniels’ leadership, this administration has taken pride in tackling challenging but common sense issues to make Indiana the most sought-after business location in the country,” Hasler said. “From its right-towork status to its falling corporate and property taxes to its AAA credit rating, these results are proof that Indiana works for business.” The announcement was driven by companies like Magnetation, Amazon, The Finish Line, Appirio and Toyota, all of which chose the Hoosier State this year as the location for multi-million dollar investments and the cre-

ation of hundreds of new jobs. From Advanced Metal Technologies’ decision to locate 350 new jobs in Jeffersonville to Sweetwater Sound’s plans to expand its Fort Wayne headquarters adding 316 new jobs, communities across the state are welcoming new career opportunities for Hoosiers every day. “Indiana is on a hot streak and we have no plans to slow down. We expect many more announcements in the month ahead and look forward to placing a big exclamation point on the eight years of success built by this administration,” said Hasler.

But even with a projected return to profitability, he warned producers not to be hasty with thoughts of expansion. “Some producers might want to jump the gun and get expansion started in the spring of 2013.

Ivy Tech’s Enrollment Boot Camp condenses enrollment process Ivy Tech Community College’s Kokomo and Logansport campuses will once again offer Enrollment Boot Camps. Kokomo will host Boot Camp on Thursday, Dec. 6 at the main campus located at 1815 E. Morgan St., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Logansport’s Boot Camp will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 1 Ivy Tech Way, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. These enrollment Boot Camps enable prospective students to complete any or all of the enrollment process without an appointment and in one visit to campus. Those interested must arrive at least one hour prior to the end of the Boot Camp in order to complete all of the steps in one visit. “We piloted this concept of a one-trip enrollment process in August,” said Suzanne Dillman, associate vice chancellor for Student Services. “It was a huge success! We had nearly 80 students go through the entire enrollment process in one day. Usually it takes students a few trips to campus to get everything done that needs to be done to get enrolled. What we heard from participants in August was how much they appreciated our taking this approach. Our students have very busy lives. Most work. Many have families. Having to make multiple trips often creates a barrier.” Those who participate in Ivy Tech Enrollment Boot Camp can expect to get through (or finish if they’ve already started) the enrollment process and be ready to start classes on Jan. 14 when the spring semester begins. College recruiters will help students complete the admission application if they haven’t already, complete new student orientation, complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) if they haven’t already, complete the placement assess-

ment, and select the appropriate courses for the spring semester. Note: Students may waive the assessment by having previous college credit or SAT scores of 460+, ACT scores of 17+, or PSAT scores of 46+. Currently, students may have to come to campus as many as four times before they are actually enrolled. This approach will eliminate those repeated trips. “We were delighted to see how students responded to this a c c e l e r a t e d approach,” said Dillman. Dillman noted that as expected two audiences dominated attendance to the campus’ first Boot Camp: Working adults who have such busy schedules that multiple trips create huge barriers and the traditional, right-outof-high-school students who decide mid-summer that going away to college may have to wait for financial reasons. But this time she expects another group, those who went off to a big university and realized they weren’t ready. “We’re already hearing from parents and some students who want to transfer in college credit to Ivy Tech this spring.” Parents are encouraged to attend with their college-bound student. Participants who have not filed for financial aid should bring their 2011 tax returns. A financial aid associate will walk them through filing the FAFSA. Students who plan to attend any Ivy Tech Kokomo Region cam-

pus in the spring or summer should plan to come to boot camp if this approach works best for them. What is covered in Boot Camp is applicable to any Kokomo Region Ivy Tech student. Additional staff will be ‘deployed’ from the outlying Kokomo Region campuses to assist with the event so participants are assured excellent customer service and leave the event confident that they are prepared to begin their college experience. There is no cost to attend Boot Camp. For more information about Enrollment Boot Camp in Kokomo, contact Mike Federspill at 765-459-0561, ext. 233, o r mfedersp@ivytech.ed u or in Logansport, contact Lori Lange at 574-753-5101, ext. 2175 o r llange1@ivytech.edu.

LOCAL HISTORY: Last week, I printed a question I received from an area resident regarding Bean Hill. I received the following information from Mick Strange: Bean Hill is just east of Lagro on 500E between the new Hwy 24 and the old Hwy 24 (Blue Star Hwy). It goes through a little wooded area there. Levi Bean (my greatgreat-great-great grandfather) was one of the first County Commissioners in 1835. On the county land map of 1875 it still shows two Bean

properties on the east side of Bean Hill. About 30 years ago there was an article in ‘the paper’ that talked about all the Bean descendants. At the time my g reat-g randmother Ruby (Rau) Anderson was alive and was listed as the oldest Bean descendant alive at that time. There was a whole list of individuals and family names, including Rau, Shear and Dawes. It was an interesting article if someone could find a clipping of that it would provide more information. DEADLINE FOR NEWS is each Wednesday by noon. You can email news and pictures to lagronewscolumn@g mail.com, mail news to me at 425 S State Road 524 Lagro, IN 46941, or contact me by phone at 260-7820471 between 9 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Her studies, marriage and job took her to Nevada, Michigan and California and she and her husband are now back home in Indiana. She is teaching some photography classes at Ball State University, and is doing online teaching for the College of the Canons, located in California. The December banquet committee reported that the December meeting will be at the Crystal

Room at the Honeywell Center on Dec. 13 at 12 p.m. A tour of backstage is also offered for those who want to see behind the scenes. There will be a collection sent as a Christmas gift for the Rolling meadows Home. The hostesses for this event are Jean Gilbert and Carolyn Royce. For roll call everyone told their favorite Christmas carol. A potential new member, Beth Sheely, was recommended and will be invited to join the club. The group has lost a longtime beloved member, Bonnie Walters on Oct. 27, 2012. A book will be purchased in her memory and there

will be memorial for her at the January meeting. Patricia extended her thanks for all of the cards, flowers, prayers and visits during this time of grieving. A collection of $80 was taken at this meeting to be given to the Methodist Church Food Pantry, timely for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was announced that there will be no book club during the months of December and will resume again in January. Look for time and announcement for when the book will be available. After reciting the Club Collect, Carol Snyder presented a book report on “three From

Galilee” by Marjorie Holmes. Holmes filled in the blanks of what is not mentioned in the Bible with what could have happened in the life of Jesus. Carol took us from Egypt to Nazareth and the things that could have happened between his brothers and sister, His father and mother. Holmes took us along with Jesus to the temple to see His learning amongst the leaders of the Law, to His time spent with John, his cousin, and His being baptized. Carol took us to the shepherd fields and the wilderness where Jesus was tempted by Satan, and finally to the cross (Continued on page 21)

SYMBOL OF C H R I S T M A S : Symbol of the Christmas Tree, because it stays green all through the year, the evergreen tree is symbolic of the eternal life offered to

December 5, 2012

Christians through faith in Christ. The treetop points heavenward. A star signifies the special star that guided the wise men to Bethlehem. Lights represent Christ, the light of the world. Gifts beneath the tree are representative of God’s gift of his only begotten Son, who brings hope, love, joy and peace. The candy cane begins with stick of white candy. The white symbolizes the purity of the Christmas season. Red stripes are for the

blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we may have eternal life. The candy is formed into a “J” to represent the precious name of Jesus. It can also represent the staff of the Good Shepherd. Its hard consistency represents the Solid Rock, the foundation of the church, and the firmness of the promises of God.

For its monthly meeting, the North Manchester Historical Society is inviting everyone to a special Christmas program. Richard Livingston will narrate Dylan Thomas’s “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” and other poems associated with the season on Monday, Dec. 10, in the Assembly Room of Timbercrest Senior Living Community, 2201 East Street, at 6:40 p.m. “The program will present a nostalgic view of Christmas through literature,” said Mary Chrastil, Historical Society President. “Christmas always brings many wonderful programs, from the Nutcracker to the Messiah. This pro-

gram is delightful because it is not the c o m m o n p l a c e Christmas offering, yet is a lovely and warmhearted look at the best of the Christmas spirit.” Richard Livingston is well known in the North Manchester community for his beautiful speaking voice and musical talents. He presented a series of wellreceived piano recitals at Timbercrest in 2011. What people may not know is that Livingston sang professionally for 10 years in a downtown Chicago church, and was a member for the Chicago Symphony Chorus for 32 years. In this capacity, he toured extensively, appearing at Carnegie Hall,

London, Saltzburg and Berlin. He participated in recordings, which won nine Grammy awards for classical music. Richard notes that he was in rehearsal on stage with most of the leading singers and conductors of the late 20th century. Richard graduated from Juniata College, and went on to earn an

MA in music from Northwestern and a PhD from Northwestern in oral interpretation of literature. This training will be evident as he performs for Historical Society members and friends. The public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6 p.m. for a meal prior to

the meeting. For those who wish to attend the dinner, reservations must be made no later than noon on Friday, Dec. 7. Reservations may be made by calling Mary at 260-982-1813 or Evelyn at 260-982-6777. There is no cost for the program, which is free to the public. All are welcome.

Trust Basics A trust, in very simple terms, is a legal arrangement between the person who establishes and transfers assets to it (the “grantor”) and the person or institution that agrees to manage it (the “trustee”). As grantor, you specify who will benefit from the trust (the “beneficiary/ies”) and stipulate how the trust assets are to be managed and distributed. Many Solutions Not every financial goal can be accomplished with a trust. But many can. Here are some reasons you might consider establishing a trust:

• You want to avoid the delay and cost of probate and ensure that your loved ones have sufficient funds immediately following your death. • You want to reduce potential estate taxes. • You want to consolidate your various assets into a more easily managed portfolio. Now or Later A trust that you establish to take effect during your lifetime is known as an inter vivos or living trust. A living trust can be revocable or irrevocable. As grantor, you generally can make changes to a revocable trust but not to an irrevocable trust. A testamentary trust is a trust that you set up in your will. It comes into existence and becomes irrevocable at the time of your death. Many Types

Zinn questions MSD administrators’ response to bus incident Dear editor, I want to start by thanking family, friends, parents, bus drivers and those we don’t know for supporting my husband Charlie Zinn through this mess with the MSD of Wabash County administration. Your kind words and prayers have meant more than you will know. No one deserves to be treated like he has. When there is no punishment for a second grader with this kind of filthy, vulgar behavior, then there is something wrong with our school system. Page 30 in the school handbook reads as follows: 15. Violating or repeatedly violating any rules that are necessary in carrying out school: Engaging in sexual behavior on school property. Disobedience of teachers or administrative staff Engaging in speech or conduct which is profane, indecent, lewd, vulgar or offensive. h. Engaging in sexual harassment of a student or staff members i. Violation of the school corporation’s acceptance use of policy or rules. 17. The use of profanity will not be

t o l e r a t e d . Consequences will be at the discretion of the administration. What is said and to whom it is directed will be taken into consideration. Page 31 reads: 30. A student committing an act that violates Indiana on Federal law at any time or place may be suspended or expelled if the unlawful act is directed toward a school employee, student or board member. Page 32: Enforcement of Student Behavior Standards and Code of Conduct. Number one, the Standards and Code of Conduct will be enforced by school administrators, teachers, teachers aides, bus drivers and any other adult authorized by the school to supervise students. Now Dr. Weaver, Dr. Dawson and Mrs. Ihnen, tell me why you did not follow through with these rules. Charlie went through everyone he was supposed to, so it could be taken care of, so why didn’t you? You’re not punishing this child, you’re letting him take over the bus and the school system. You’re punishing the other children who ride and have to listen to the filth that comes out of his mouth. Actions

speak louder than words, and it is obvious by your actions, you don’t give a crap about the other children. You keep telling everyone one thingand then you do something else. While we’re at it Dr. Weaver, you told 21 Alive that Charlie didn’t want that last meeting. He told Mr. McWithery he couldn’t make it at 4 p.m. because he was still on his route, it would have to be 4:30. What kind of behavior plan did you have in mind this time? It is obvious the first one didn’t work. Let me ask you this also, Dr. Weaver, Dr. Dawson. Mrs. Ihnen, Tony England, Troy Baer and Ryan Rosen. If your child were sitting with this foulmouthed second grader, what would you have wanted done? I know that Troy and Ryan, your children could have been sitting there, they rode the shuttle. I’m sure your Grandma Baer would be very disappointed in your decision Troy. She is one of the reasons Charlie chose to drive. I guess all of you are just looking out for yourselves and this “special” child as you see him, and no one else. We would all like to see you resign. Since I was there when Charlie turned

in his keys, there weren’t any words such as ‘quit,’ ‘fired’ or ‘resign’ anywhere. We just simply refused to haul the child which he can do and you didn’t care enough to even talk about it right then. Oh, I’m sorry, we never got the memo. Charlie has gotten a lot of support because they know he did the right thing. Thanks to no support from you. We know who can hold their head up high and be proud of what they stand for. Even though rule #4 on the bus reads: No Profanity, it is apparent that rule went right out the window. Seems like with Dr. Weaver, it is her way or the highway. I’m just sad that Charlie had to be the one who had to be forced to hit the highway. Cheri Zinn Wabash

This months meeting was held on Nov. 12, at Bill Harmsen’s Shop. For those who missed the meeting, Bill has a 3,000 sq. ft. shop with additional workspace on the second floor. It will be a great shop when he gets finished. I would like to apologize for giving out the wrong street where Bill lives, but did correct it in an email directly after the first one went out. The meeting was called to order by Jim McCann, he then called on Neil Stakler to begin the sharpening demo. Neil then showed how to sharpen a steel scraper. It is very important to get it right, to scrap wood smooth. Bill Harmsen showed how a slow turning grinder with a high grit water wheel

could sharpen many tools. I showed how a Work Sharp and Drill Doctor works to sharpen many work tools, such as Axes, chisels also drills bits. Merle Ellis has been reported that he has only a few weeks left on this earth, due to cancer throughout his body. The club did send a card to him, but if you want to send one, his address is: 10221 S. 600 E. LaFountaine, Indiana 46940 We had 25 in attendance, with 16 members paying this month.

Primerano picks off Apaches Tiger sophomore nails buzzer-beating triple to best Wabash Peru: 87 Wabash: 84 By J.D. Sparks A raucous home crown turned dead silent in a matter of seconds Friday night in Coolman Gymnasium. The Apache faithful erupted after Wabash senior Breyton Nealis drained a 3-pointer with just under eight seconds left of overtime against Peru. About seven seconds later, Peru sophomore Logan Primerano let fly a 3pointer of his own. As the buzzer sounded,

the ball swished through the hoop, giving Peru an 87-84 win. Tiger fans went wild as Primerano’s teammates tackled him to the floor on the visitors’ side. The Apaches could only hang their heads and walk to the locker room. “You could see the guys were hurt, it was visible out there,” Wabash Head Coach Tom Robbins said. “It probably wouldn’t have been so bad, emotionally, if it wasn’t for what happened Saturday against Madison-Grant. You could see that the kids were down after that.” Primerano’s triple put a dramatic end to a roller-coaster, back-

and-forth type of a game which included 46 ties or lead changes. And 38 of those came after the half. “It was a good game and a lot of fun to be a part of,” said Tiger Head Coach Jim Metcalfe. “Just when we thought we’d get a little bit of a run and pull away, they’d come back and make a big shot and tied the game up. That Nealis kid, he made big shot after big shot. It seemed like he took over there late.” Nealis scored 23 points to go with six rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block. He was 3-of-7 from

3-point range, but he made two buckets that put Wabash’s fans on their feet. The first came with 11 seconds left in regulation. Primerano and Eddie Childers combined to go 2-of-4 from the free-throw line to give Peru a 7269 lead with 22 seconds left. Nealis responded with a triple with 11 seconds left in the game, banging home the 3-pointer that sent the game into an extra period. “He did make some big shots tonight and it’s nice when you’re leading scorer and best player gets his teammates involved, too,” Robbins said.

Knights earn Wabash County Invitational title By J.D. Sparks For the second time in four years, S o u t h wo o d ’s wrestling team hoisted the Wabash

County team trophy in Northfield. The Knights swept the competition, defeating Northfield 45-34, Wabash 72-12,

Manchester 50-16, Bremen 42-34 and Northwood 41-30. Northwood took second with a 4-1 record, while

to do with his first piece of gold hardware as a head coach. Before stepping in as the Knight coach a season ago, he spent several years as the White’s wrestling head coach. “It feels pretty darn good,” Hammel said to The Paper of Wabash. “We had some kids wrestle some great matches. We wrestled all five matches very hard. Everybody stepped up. I can’t name a wrestler who didn’t wrestle well. “The seniors really stepped up. Now, I’m not quite what to do with this (trophy). The guys really earned it. I guess we’ll just keep quiet and look towards Eastbrook Saturday.”

The Knights laid claim to four individual champions: Brandon Simpson (106-pound weight class), Colton Dawes (113), Zach Gunter (120) and Johnathon Friedersdorf (138). Friedersdorf, a senior, said it felt great to win his first Wabash County Invitational individual title. “I just went out there and knew I couldn’t give anything up to anyone,” he said. “It felt really good to win the team title, too. We won it when I was a freshman, but it’s different being a senior. It’s a totally different feeling. It’s great.” Like Southwood, four Northfield grapplers ended the day (continued on page 26)

continued from page 24

with 5-0 individual records: Jared Kirtlan (145), Austin Kirtlan (160), Kyle Houlihan (170) and Joseph Ross (195). Jared Kirtlan and Ross both earned their third Wabash County Invitational title. Jared Kirtlan didn’t even know if he was going to wrestle Saturday. After suffering a high-ankle sprain during football, he wasn’t originally slated to wrestle until at least January.

One doctor’s clearance and seemingly a whole role of tape around his ankle later, and Jared Kirtlan was back to his explosive self. “We decided that I was just going to wrestle based on how I felt today,” he said. “I felt pretty good. It was great to get out here and go 5-0 and help the team out. I’m glad I could come through for those guys.” Clayton Moore brought back to

North Manchester the lone Squire individual title. A sophomore, Moore won his second invitational. “It feels good,” Moore said. “Just listening to (Head) Coach (Chris) Kimmel and not doing my thing (led to the title). I practiced really hard, especially after losing to Peru. I just want to thank coach.” NorthWood had three individual champions and Bremen had one.

Primerano picks off Apaches... continued from page 24 “He can score and he can give the ball up. I’m sure the guys love playing with him.” Wabash took a brief lead in overtime after Tyler Brewer turned a steal on defense into a layup. He finished the game with 12 points, eight rebounds, two assists and three steals. The Tigers responded with five-straight, going up 77-74, until Tyler King’s 3-pointer tied the score with 2:29 left to play. Joe Comerford, a 6foot-6 senior forward, converted an old-fashioned 3-pointer. He finished the game with 28 points. Nealis scored the next four points to give Wabash one last lead, 81-80, with 1:16 left. On an errant shot on Peru’s ensuing possession, the ball took a high-arcing carom off the hoop. Primerano sailed towards the basket for the offensive rebound

and put back, a play that may have swung the momentum in Peru’s favor, putting the Tigers up 81-80. A couple of Peru free throws then set the stage for the lategame drama. “Our statistician said Peru only had about 12 offensive rebounds, but it felt like about 40,” Robbins said. “We gave up some big put backs that really changed the momentum of the game.” Primerano scored a game-high 29 points, including seven in overtime. Roger Davis led the Apaches in scoring with 25 points. He also had eight rebounds, two assists and seven steals. Wabash moved to 12 on the season, while Peru improved to 1-1. “We have to get better,” Robbins said. “We’re a great team. We can move passed this.”

Purdue workshop to tackle issues faced by family farms

A Purdue University workshop can help farmers who are part of a family business explore crucial management and relationship issues that families need to address for future successes. The Center for C o m m e r c i a l Agriculture will offer “Farming into the Next Generation” Feb. 1213. Brent Gloy, the center’s director, said the two-day workshop is intend-

ed for farmers who are working together with other family members and for those who want to add more family members to the business. “Running a family farming business together can be a challenging process for both the younger and older generations,” Gloy said. “This workshop will help families build stronger management teams and family relationships, and help them identify tech-

niques and planning processes that can resolve conflict and position the farm business for success for another generation.” Program instructors are Bernie Erven, professor emeritus of agricultural economics at Ohio State University, and Bob Milligan, senior consultant at Dairy Strategies LLC and professor emeritus at Cornell University. “Our instructors are the two leading

experts in the country on this topic and bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the workshop,” Gloy said. “Participants will leave better prepared to successfully farm into the next generation.” The dynamics in a family business are different than those at a corporation because co-workers are also family members, a situation that can strain relationships. The workshop will help attendees improve

their communication and conflictresolution skills. The workshop will be divided into four sections: the family business, relationship challenges in family businesses, farm family case studies and summary messages. Register online at https://www.agecon.purdue.edu/co mmercialag/progevents/farmingnextgen.html For more information, contact Aissa Good, senior project

manager at the center, at aissa@pur-

due.edu or 765-4963884.

River otters are expanding in Indiana and now occupy much of their historic range, representing a success story for wildlife conservation. Hoosiers now have a good chance of seeing river otters in many Indiana watersheds, a memory that will last a lifetime. Officially considered extirpated from Indiana by 1942, river otters were absent from the landscape for more than 50 years. Then in 1995, wildlife officials began releasing otters into key areas of the state. Over a five-year period, 303 otters were transported from Louisiana and released at 12 sites in northern and southern Indiana. The reintroduction was so successful that by 2005, otters were removed from the state’s endangered species list. Otters have moved into central Indiana, where the habitat wasn’t considered ideal for the species. But otters

found suitable areas there to live, according to Scott Johnson, nongame biologist with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. River otters now occupy more than 80 percent of Indiana counties, Johnson said. “It’s now been seven years since de-listing, and all our information indicates the otter population continues to expand,” Johnson said. Work to improve water quality in the state has benefited the river otter, whose diet consists primarily of fish, but also includes mussels, crayfish, reptiles and amphibians. State wildlife managers are aware that conflicts can arise from higher otter numbers, especially with private pond owners who are sometimes surprised by the rate at which the animals can eat fish. “One pond owner may enjoy watching otters, while a different landowner may find them to be a nuisance and is upset by the loss of fish in his pond,” said DNR furbearer biologist Shawn Rossler. Last year, District Wildlife Biologists received 34 complaints on river otters eating fish out of private ponds and commercial fish hatcheries or destroying private property. As of early spring, wildlife managers had issued 10 control permits to resolve otter complaints in 2012. As the otter population grows, wildlife managers must find balance to keep populations healthy while preventing conflicts with landowners. Finding balance isn’t always easy, but it’s needed to ensure the continued success and acceptance of river otters in Indiana. For more information, visit IN.gov and search “river otter”.

State police employee finalists for award

diana. The INvision Award honors vision, creative approaches, and consistent dedication to improving cooperation and coordination among all Indiana agencies and public safety disciplines. Any Indiana public safety professional or first responder who has actively promoted improved interoperable communications is eligible to receive the award. Nominees are recom-

mended by their professional peers from the public safety community. Bradley Deane, a 15year veteran of the Indiana State Police Department, currently serves as the manger for the Indiana State Police Regional Dispatch Center in Fort Wayne. He supervises 15 telecommunication operators who are responsible for dispatching troopers in 18 counties covered by the

Indiana State Police Peru and Fort Wayne Posts. Deane started his state police career as a telecommunication operator at the Indiana State Police Peru Post, where he served for 13 years. When state police dispatching responsibilities were consolidated, Deane was promoted to regional dispatch manager. Deane’s nomination was in part because throughout his state po-

lice career he has always encouraged and participated in local interoperability meetings with local agencies. As an Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) instructor, Deane developed training programs encouraging the use of statewide mutual aid talk groups. Deane not only utilizes the training program to educate state police personnel, but he also reaches out to local agencies within

State police employee Leesburg man resists finalists for award arrest and later attempts escape

North Webster - A Leesburg man faces numerous charges after fleeing from Indiana Conservation Officers. On Nov. 24, around 5 p.m. an Indiana Conservation Officer on patrol came across a vehicle near Durham Lake, which directed his attention to a hunter coming out from the woods. The hunter identified as Charles Norris, 29, was discovered to have an outstanding felony warrant in Whitley County. The Conservation Officer requested assistance before attempting to place Norris in custody. Two additional Conservation Officers arrived to assist with the arrest. Norris fled from officers prior to being handcuffed for his outs t a n d i n g warrant. After a short foot pursuit, Norris continued to resist Conservation Officers attempting to place him in handcuffs. Once Norris was detained, he was transported by North Webster EMS to Kosciusko Community Hospital for medi c a l examination. Norris was medically cleared

and transported to the Kosciusko County Jail. Upon arrival at the jail, Norris attempted to escape by jumping from the slowly moving police vehicle and running away on foot while handcuffed behind his back. He was chased down a second time by Conservation Officers and escorted back to the jail. During the booking process, Norris claimed to have ingested balloons cont a i n i n g methamphetamines earlier in the day so he was transported back to Kosciusko Community Hospital for additional medical examination. Norris was medically cleared again before finally ending up incarcerated at the Kosciusko County Jail. Norris was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail on the following charges in addition to the outstanding felony warrant, resisting law enforcement, escaping law enforcement, possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm by convicted felon and failure to procure a hunting license.

He currently resides in Cass County with his three children. “Brad is deserving of

the recognition bestowed upon him,” stated Lt. Jeremy Kelly, commander of the Indiana State Police Peru Post. “When he dispatched from Peru Post, Brad was a consummate professional who served as a calm and reassuring lifeline to troopers on the road.” Rick Leninburg of Knox County was the eventual winner of the INvision Award.
