Lost and found: the story of a stray by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com In mid-November, John Boardman was mowing his lawn when he noticed a visitor near his home. The visitor was about 35 pounds, tan in color, and what John believed to be a cocker spaniel. John’s cousin, who lives on Shady Lane Drive, had seen the visitor before, but was never able to get very close. The little guy stuck around, often hanging out near the crest of a hill at the edge of the Boardman property. “I called the animal shelter after a few days,” said John. They had gotten calls about this dog, but they couldn’t get close enough to catch it after trying several times. The dog was scared of everything and everybody, and he never got within 100 feet of a person.” Animals roaming around the south side of town was not unusual according to John, who recounted multiple run-ins with stray cats, for which he keeps a cage in the basement. Something about this little dog, however, stuck with John and his wife Marilyn. They could tell he was wearing a collar, and they knew someone must be wondering where their pet was. “I put food out for him and put water in a container with a bird bath heater under it to prevent freezing,” said John. “I’d try to get him to eat, but he wouldn’t come up and eat when I was around. At night, he’d come up then.” Most days when the couple woke up, the food would be gone, but it made the young dog no less afraid of humans. With the weather only getting colder, the Boardmans started to worry about the dog’s safety. His fur was well overgrown, but the temperature was starting to drop below freezing regularly. The Boardmans worried so much about this little dog, it kept them up at night, thinking and wondering where the scared little dog was spending its nights. The Boardmans’ neighbors had taken notice of the newcomer as well. Stella Denney had seen the dog narrowly escape being struck by a car on Peterson Drive. Bob LaMont

“Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a great American leader whose persistence and courage changed our nation. Dr. King’s efforts to peacefully advocate for justice for AfricanAmericans changed the course of American history and inspire us still today. “Dr. King’s commitment to all mankind stands as a wonderful example of how every Hoosier should serve their community. On this important day, I urge people across our state to seek out ways to be servant leaders in their own communities to keep Dr. King’s legacy alive.” -Governor Mike Pence, Jan. 20, Martin Luther King Jr. Day

had noticed the dog a few weeks before, as it followed him from a distance on his way to the market to get a paper each morning. Florence Draper had talked to police about the dog after they knocked on her door at 5:30 a.m. one morning after receiving a complaint of a loose dog running around her house. Draper, who told John that she doesn’t like animals, but that she just couldn’t sleep at night thinking about that little dog out in the cold. John decided to take things into his own hands. Though not a huge dog, the cat cage he had in the basement was not big enough. He got a cage from the animal shelter and started putting the dog’s food inside the trap. Though the dog may have been irrationally scared of humans, he was very smart. John would watch as the dog, afraid to step inside the cage, would reach in with one paw and pull the food outside before devouring his meal. As John put the food further inside the cage, the dog would reach further inside to remove it. Afraid to step inside a structure intended for capture, John decided to build a small doghouse, hoping that it would at least give the dog a sheltered place to sleep. Not only would the dog go nowhere near the doghouse, but avoided the Boardmans’ open garage and Bob LaMont’s open utility shed. John once moved the dog’s food dish under the overhang of his garage to keep it out of the rain, but the dog had no interest in getting that close to a building. With no luck capturing the dog, John went to the vet seeking alternative measures. “I went to the veterinarian and asked him ‘what can I do about this dog that is so scared?” said John. The vet sold him some tranquilizers, which he put in a small amount of wet dog food. “He came up and ate it, and he got slowed down a bit,” said John. “He’d come up closer, but you’d go out there and he wouldn’t even come close. He’d go over there across the hill and lie down in the (continued on page 4)

Local businesses promote healthy New Years resolutions by Eric Stearley eric@ thepaperofwabash.com ‘Tis the season for resolutions. In this, the third week of January, you may be among those still signing documents dated “2013.” As you erase and correct the date, 71 percent of Americans have already erased, or at least given up on, their 2014 resolutions, according to a study conducted by the University of Scranton’s Journal of Clinical Psychology. Resolutions at the start of a new year are as numerous and as diverse as the people who make them, but there are recurring themes. According to the same study, the most common resolution is weight loss, and staying fit and healthy comes in fifth. In addition, 47 percent of resolutions have to do with self-improvement, with another 38 percent relating to weight loss. Of course, making a resolution is the easy part. Succeeding is more difficult. By the first of July, less (continued on page 5)

Glaucoma offers no warning, symptoms, or cure

It can come with no warning and no noticeable symptoms. It is the second most common cause of blindness in the United States. “It” is glaucoma, the silent thief of sight, according to Dr. Farlow. “January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month and we encourage all people, especially those at higher risk for this disease, to familiarize themselves with potential symptoms and need for regular eye examinations,” Dr. Farlow said. “A regular eye examination is especially critical since a person with early-stage glaucoma ma not notice any symptoms at all.” Dr. Farlow added that, while the early stage symptoms may not be noticeable, a person with more advanced glaucoma may notice blurred vision, the presence of halos around lights, loss of peripheral vision, and difficulty focusing on objects. “Glaucoma affects an estimated 4 million Americans,” Dr. Farlow said. “Some people are more at risk than others.” Those at higher risk include: • People over the age of 60 • African-Americans over age 40 • People with diabetes • Individuals that have experienced a serious eye injury • Anyone with a family history of glaucoma “While there is no cure for glaucoma, early detection and treatment can slow or prevent further vision loss, “Dr. Farlow said. “First and foremost in the process is a comprehensive eye health exam by your family eye doctor.” Dr. Farlow is the owner and practitioner of Dr. Bradley A. Farlow at 144 West Hill Street, Wabash and is a member of Vision Source. Founded in 1991, Vision Source® is North America’s largest network of private practice optometrists.

Fifteen years ago, Isaac decided to make a career change. Though successful in the mortgage business, he decided to follow his true passion and became a certified professional tennis instructor. Isaac has a passion for developing his students’ skills and character on and off the court, stating, “Character, courage, commitment, humility, excellence…those are all things that you have to strive for in tennis and in life.

Lost and found: the story of a stray... continued from front page sun.” A week later, John went back to the vet for another dose. This time, the vet instructed him to give it all to him at once. The dog ate the medicated food and walked off. John went outside and waited. “I stayed out there for, gosh, two or three hours,” said John. “I about froze my buns off out there. He came up and I had a whole pocket full of treats. He’d take one out of my fingers. I’d try to touch him and I was trying to grab his collar, but it just wouldn’t work.” Then came a cold, wet, winter storm. “We had that bad snow, seven inches of snow, and it was just

colder than a well digger’s hind end, and I didn’t know where the little guy was staying, because that was zero,” said John. John’s neighbor, Florence Draper told him that she thought he was sleeping on her stoop at night. The dog had peeked in her window one night and scared her. John put a rug on the stoop and the dog slept on the rug the next two nights. The following day, John called for him to come eat, and for the first time ever, the dog came up onto the Boardmans’ back porch. Before, the dog wouldn’t even take food from the bottom step, only eating if his dinner was out in the open of the back yard. Five days before Christmas, Wabash got a heavy, cold rain. John and Marilyn were sitting in their living room when they heard something at the back door. “Marilyn said ‘look there,’” said John. “He came up on the porch and looked in the window, and by golly, I couldn’t believe it, he put up his paw and scraped on the window.” They opened the door and told him to come in, but once

again, he was timid. He put one paw in, and then decided against it, retreating back to the porch steps. It didn’t take long before he came back, putting both paws in the doorway. This time, he came inside. The Boardmans dried him off with a towel, as he was soaking wet. “He just spun around, and he was so happy, and he jumped on me and jumped up on Marilyn and wanted petted and he ran all over,” said John. “He stretched out on a pillow and just rested. From wild dog to a pet in a few minutes.” But the 35 pound tan cocker spaniel had always been a pet; he was a very scared, very confused pet that was very far from home. A quick look at his collar tag and they were able to find his identification. They got his information through the American Kennel Association (AKA) and called his owner. After two months in the elements, he was a very dirty dog. John had planned to take him to their groomer, the place he takes his two shih tzus, Candy and Eitz, but there was no time. Forty-

five minutes later, his owner, Christine, pulled into their driveway. Along with his owner’s contact information, the AKA provided the little dog’s name, Jasper. The one-year-old cocker spaniel had been on the loose since before Halloween. Jasper was a family pet and soon-to-be 4-H project for the family’s children, but Jasper would not be entered into the Wabash County Fair, because he was not a Wabash County dog. Jasper’s two-month journey had taken more than 20 miles from his home in Grant County. “I don’t know how in the world he got from there to here,” said John. “I just know it ain’t by taxi.” When Jasper’s owner Christine came to the door and called his name, Jasper jumped up and ran over to her, showering her with affection. They spent a few minutes on the floor, Jasper rolling over to have his favorite person pet him. She showed the Boardmans how to put Jasper to sleep instantly, by rubbing a certain spot on the

side of his belly. She also told them that when he’s groomed, the white spot on the top of his head is actually shaped like a heart. “She said ‘oh, my daughters are going to be just absolutely thrilled when they get home from school and he’s here,’” said John. Christine’s daughters had been devastated when Jasper didn’t come home. She contacted animal shelters and the AKA to report that her dog was missing. Though the Wabash County Animal Shelter knew about this dog, they were never able to get close enough to make an identification or to scan the microchip implant which would have immediately alerted them to the dog’s situation. John guessed this had likely been the case in Marion and other areas as well. After a few minutes, Christine told Jasper that it was time to go. He walked to the family’s van a new dog. He jumped through the sliding side door of the van and they pulled out of the driveway. “There he was, sitting up in the passenger’s seat just looking out the window just like he’d been doing that all his life,” said John. With just 5 days left until Christmas, the youngest, hairiest member of a family was reunited after months of separation. “Why he came here, I don’t know that,” said John. “This is, I would say, for Florence Draper, Bob LaMont, and me personally, our greatest Christmas present.”

Local businesses promote healthy New Years resolutions... continued from front page difficult. By the first of July, less than half of Americans will be holding strong. Wabash residents, however, have a multitude of resources available to help them succeed in their resolutions, especially those in the area of fitness. With so many options to choose from, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to know where to go. Each option offers something different and there is a place for everyone. The Place with Everything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been living under a rock for the past few years, Wabash County has one of the top YMCAs in the state. The 76,000 square foot facility opened in 2009 and currently serves close to a third of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population. While there are a lot of places to break a sweat, this is where you can find a seemingly endless number of exercise machines, a pool, group fitness classes, a sauna, racquetball courts, basketball courts, treadmills, yoga, ellipticals, an indoor track, personal trainers, and much more. The YMCA records 18,000 visits each month, and their 80 group exercise classes bring in ten percent of those. They recently hired a new personal trainer and boot camp instructor, Kim Pilkay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really cool guy. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so passionate and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great asset to the Y,â&#x20AC;? said Deanne Clifton, the

facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of operations. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also recently added a new director of their aquatics department, David Ringler. This will allow a wider variety of water-based exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is something for everyone,â&#x20AC;? said Clifton, â&#x20AC;&#x153;no matter your skill level, or your abilities, your age, your disability, whatever it is, the Y has something for everyone.â&#x20AC;? In January, the YMCA is offering a highly discounted membership, just over a quarter of the normal price. In addition, they are offering a Yoga workshop on Jan. 25 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., led by their yoga instructor Mary Fuson, in case you were looking to add a little Zen to your workout routine. The Lifestyle Modification Station â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The ladies over at NuStart know the importance of exercise, which is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a key part of their program, but they also know the importance of nutrition, sleep, and stress management. These are the four pillars of the NuStart approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our program is really a holistic approach to adding in healthy actions into your lifestyle to provide health,â&#x20AC;? said nutritionist Kristen Gebhart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We focus on implementing specific things that people can do to not just lose weight, but to get off medications, to feel better, to have more

energy, to get down on the ground and play with kidsâ&#x20AC;Śwhatever they want to achieve, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the approach we take.â&#x20AC;? Some of NuStartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients are trying to lose weight, while others are training for triathlons. They work with adults, kids, and whole families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to take diet completely out of their vocabulary and focus on how to create a healthy lifestyle long-term,â&#x20AC;? said Gebhart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was in medical school, I noticed that a lot of those disease processes that I was seeing and helping to treat were diseases that were preventable,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jamie Lindsay, co-owner of NuStart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like I needed to get to the

root cause of what I was treating.â&#x20AC;? The duo meets with clients once a week during the six month program. During that time, talk about how the client is doing, share workouts, teach clients how to cook and eat healthy, and talk about stress and sleep management. To help their clients even more, they created new payment options for 2014, making their services easier to access. They also just opened a location in Marion, which they are at one day a week. The Factory for Fitness with Friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For some people looking for a place to workout, 76,000 square feet is just way too big. For those looking for a more intimate group

exercise experience, the Sweat Factory, now located at 1160 N. Cass Street, may just be the place for you. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to walk into a place, stick the ear buds in and lift some weights by yourself, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the place for you. Though they do offer some personal training, the Sweat Factory is, at its core, a group exercise venue. They offer Peer Pump, Zumba, Zumba Toning, contact kickboxing TRX, step classes, and free weight training classes and spin classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the type of person that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be scrutinized,â&#x20AC;? said Sweat Factory owner Shelly Ruch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

Local businesses promote healthy New Years resolutions... continued from page 5 watching me, so if I feel that way, I know my clients do.” The newest addition to the Sweat Factory is a fleet of new Real Ryder spin bikes. Unlike traditional stationary bikes, Real Ryder bikes articulates with the body’s natural motion, much like a real bike does when riding on the road.

According to Ruch, this engages a person’s core, allows them to burn 20-40 percent more calories, and avoid certain hip and knee injuries that can plague stationary bike riders. “Bringing the bikes here was so important in bringing it to the next stage for what I wanted for the studio and my members,”

said Ruch. “I want it to be a place for group exercise. Everyone walks in and I introduce everybody and it’s a homey feel. Its kind of fun.” The Girl Power Place – There are a lot of reasons why people go to the gym. Some go to get in shape, some go to socialize, and some go to be seen, but the latter of those reasons can keep some out of the gym altogether. Enter Curves, the fitness and weight loss center geared for women. It’s geared for women because, well, men simply aren’t allowed in. “It’s all women, so that makes it even better,” said Jo Wagner, owner of Curves in Wabash. “That’s also a positive for the woman who maybe is a little overweight and not sure how she wants to do this. It’s a very welcoming facility for that.” Curves offers a 30 minute circuit, utiliz-

ing hydraulic machines. “It’s a smooth kind of motion, so there’s no jerking or heavy lifting,” said Wagner. “That’s why Curves is great for the beginner who has never exercised before and would like to get into shape, and also great for the woman who ahs been exercising and want to maybe tone and get that lean body mass, because you work at your own rate.” Along with the regular circuit, they offer a Curves circuit with Zumba fitness classes and starting Jan. 27 will be offering Curves workout with Jillian Michaels, the celebrity trainer famous for, among other things, the weight loss television show “The Biggest Loser.” January is a great time to join Curves, as membership this month is half price. This March will also mark 10 years since

Wagner walked into her first Curves circuit. The Place for Personal Training – For some people, group exercise is great, but others need the personal attention and direction that only a personal trainer can offer. While many of the fitness facilities in Wabash offer some level of personal training, at F.I.T. (Focused Individualized Transformation), personal training is their primary focus. “My primary focus is to teach people what they’re capable of doing and help them believe in themselves,” said F.I.T. owner Jakae Francis. “My goal is to make connections with people so that I know where they’re coming from.” At F.I.T., you won’t find a bunch of fancy machines. Francis teaches her clients how to get fit using equipment they can

find anywhere, and most importantly, their own body weight. “My goal is to teach them what they can do in their own home and make it so they don’t need me anymore,” said Francis. “When you walk in, you will be met exactly where your fitness level is and we will take you beyond and get you to your goals from there.” In addition to F.I.T., Allison (Eads) Dawes offers personal training in her family shop near Lagro. After training athletes in Evansville, she moved back to Wabash and currently trains clients in Ft. Wayne and Lagro. She mixes group and individual training and tells her clients “you have to work as hard in the gym as you do in your kitchen.” Along with general fitness training, she trains aspiring volleyball players. “My clients deserve all of my attention in

the hour they are with me,” said Allison. With the variety of options available to help with weight, health, and fitness related New Years resolutions, it’s hard to find an excuse not to be a part of the 71 percent who are still sticking to their resolutions. This, however, is not the only time you can set a goal and work towards it. “At this time of year, you know, everyone wants to start the new year or everyone wants to start on a Monday, but the right day to start on a fitness program is today,” said Clifton. “It doesn’t matter how slow you go, you’re still lapping everyone on the couch.” “There’s a lot of synergy in this community and a lot of people who want to see this community do well,” said Dr. Lindsay, Gebhart adding, “and we enjoy seeing it get healthier everyday.”

Norse start hot, finish strong against North Miami

by Gary Andrews The Northfield boys basketball team was looking to pick up their first conference win at home against North Miami Friday. Using a hot start and a strong finish the Norse got that win 57-36 over

the Warriors. Maybe playing a little more up tempo than normal, the Norse put up 19 points in the first quarter to open a 10 point gap at the end of the quarter, 19-9. Coach Moe Smedley has always

preached “win each quarter and you will win the game.” With the pace slowing a little in the second the Norse still won the quarter 12-10 and led at the half 31-19. The Norse would lose the third quarter, but there was

good and bad. The Norse held North Miami to just 3 points but scored just 2 points. After struggling the Norse still were in command, leading 33-22 with a quarter to go. With North Miami trailing they were

forced to foul in the fourth to try and get back in the game. The Norse would capitalize, hitting free throws and scored 24 points in the quarter to cruise to the 57-36 final. Leading the Norse was Jon Richardson

with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. Also scoring points for the Norse were Noah Shear with 13, Austin

Burns with 12, Tanner Wilcox with 6, Heath Miller with 3 and Jarred Short with 2.

homophobe, or a hater who is against everything and everyone. But it is “progressive” Leftists who have drunk the Cool Aid. Even Barbara Walters has now admitted that she fell for the “Hope and Change” and thought that Obama was the “next messiah.” Did you believe it too? If we don’t stand for something, we’ll fall for anything! What do you stand for? Hope and Change? Global Warming? A lie? Or Truth? The leftist Progressives hate the idea of absolute truth like Christian Morality, because it seems to them so judgmental and calls everyone a sinner. They want to celebrate sin as normal behavior and want no moral accountability of “Code,” except maybe whatever subjective code they conjure in their own mind. They think that truth is relative; they can believe their own truth and not accept

that there are Absolute Truths that a r e immutable/unchange able. Truths, which have consequences when violated. There are still some of us who know the Truth, hold on to it, and try to preach it in different ways. We hope that one day the Progressives and “low information voters” will wake up, like Barbara Walters, and want to know what is really true. Are you delusional? Do you want to know the Truth? Are you ready? Truth #1—The world is ultimately moral, there is Absolute Truth. Truth #2—Man has a Sin Nature—Even you and me. “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between private parties either—but right through the human heart.” –Aleksandr

Solzhenitsyn. Without a Moral standard and accountability, you and I make up our own “truth” and become a despot or tyrant, like Hitler. When you finally understand Truth #2, you hold on even tighter to your Bible and your guns. Truth #3—We can only have and keep a government of freedom if we have moral people. If we don’t have this moral code in our hearts, we are sinners and will eventually sin and commit crimes: lie, cheat, steal, adultery, homosexuality, and even murder. (Have you noticed all the school shootings since 1978, and none before?) If we don’t teach morality in our homes and schools, we can’t pass enough laws, hire enough police, or build enough prisons to control people by force. Not even with the NSA! The only way freedom works is

with a moral people. The highest moral standard is Christianity. Thomas Jefferson, Madison and the Founders understood this. The First Continental Congress printed 10,000 Geneva Bibles to teach morality in all of our U.S. public schools. Pray for the lost souls, they are like the blind leading the blind, falling into a ditch. If you have eyes, see! If you have ears, listen! If the Spirit guides, reach a few more by speaking their language. We need revival in America to restore a culture of Truth. Truth #4—There is only one Messiah, who died for Truth.

Squires even the score with Apaches in overtime thriller

by Gary Andrews The Wabash and Manchester boys’ basketball teams were meeting for the second time this season on Friday night at Coolman gym. Back on Dec. 27, the Apaches knocked off the Squires 63-56 in the Wabash County tourney, so the Squires had revenge on their minds. Manchester did get their revenge, but it took an extra quarter when Apache Jordan Blair hit three free throws with no time remaining to send it to OT, as the Squires survived a 6158 overtime slug fest. The game went just as most figured. The largest lead of the night was 7 points by Wabash, which they did in the second and third quarters. Wabash got off to a 2-0 lead on a Kodi Clemons bucket that was answered with buckets from Clayton Petrie and Claudell Dickantone to give Manchester a 4-2 lead. The two teams would trade leads or be tied six more times when Manchester led 11-9 with a few seconds to go. Jordan Blair would then bang home a shot at the buzzer and the game was where it was

when it started, tied. Grant Sailors would get Wabash the lead to start the second quarter and was followed with a three pointer from Roger Davis to put the Apaches up 1611. After a Manchester time out, the Apaches would strike again with a Sailors bucket to increase the lead to 18-11. Chase Fierstos would hit to stop the 7 point Wabash run, but was answered by Cody King to make it 20-13. The Squires would cut the lead to three when Clayton Petrie and Chase Fierstos connected, but Roger Davis shut the door with a three as Wabash led 23-17 at the half. After a Chase Fierstos bucket got the second half going, Grant Sailors would hit, followed by a Roger Davis free throw and the Apaches had their largest lead of the night at 26-19. Clayton Petrie and Claudell Dickantone would hit buckets around a Christian Hall basket as the Apache lead was 29-23. Two Claudell Dickantone free throws with 1:00 left made it 29-26 when Cody King hit again to make it 31-26. Chase

Fierstos would hit the final bucket of the quarter, which was a three to draw the Squires to within two at 31-29 when the horn went off. Claudell Dickantone would quickly tie the game to start the fourth, but was answered by a Christian Hall three to give Wabash a 34-31 lead. The Squires would then get a three from Chase Fierstos to tie the score and then get their first lead since the first quarter on a Claudell Dickantone bucket to make it 36-34 Manchester. Grant Sailors would tie the game for the 9th time with two free throws with 3:45 left. Two more free throws from Sailors with 1:50 remaining gave Wabash a 38-36 lead, but a back door play to Dickantone knotted the score at 38. Chase Fierstos would give Manchester their second lead of 40-38 with 58.9 on the clock, but a Squire foul put the Apaches on the free throw line. Roger Davis hit one of two with 52.3 left. After a Squire rebound the Apaches first tried high pressure defense to get the ball, but

ended up fouling with 16.7 on the clock. Claudell Dickantone would calmly sink both free throws to give Manchester a 4239 lead and the Apaches needed a three with 13.7 left. Roger Davis would throw up a three that was no good, but after a scrum on the floor the Apaches got a time out with 1.7 remaining. Wabash set up a play that found Jordan Blair in the corner, but Blair missed the three as time expired, but was fouled. With Blair having three free throws and no time on the clock, Manchester called time out to freeze the shooter. With no time on the clock, no players were aloud to stand around the paint as Blair stood alone. With the crowd going crazy, knowing Blair couldn’t miss one free throw or the game was over, Jordan Blair had ice in his veins draining all three to send the game to overtime. Manchester got the first lead in overtime on two Chase Fierstos free throws, but the Apaches bounced right back with a three from Davis and an offensive rebound bucket from Davis to

lead 47-44. The Squires would then go on a 6-0 run with buckets from Fierstos, Dickantone and Phoenix Goad to lead 50-47 with 12.0 remaining. A Manchester foul with 10.3 left gave Wabash some hope with Hall hitting one to make it 50-48. A Wabash foul would then put Fierstos on the line with 6.5 left, with Fierstos hitting one to make it 51-48 and the Apaches still had life.

Phillipy erupts in Knights win over Whitko by Gary Andrews With the injury to Jackson Blair keeping him on the sideline, Southwood leading scorer Corey Phillipy knew he needed to step up Friday against Whitko. Stepping up would be an under statement as Phillipy erupted for 34 points in the Knights 68-47 win over the Wildcats. Whitko would stay with Southwood the first quarter as the

Knights led just 16-14 after the first stop before Corey Phillipy and the tandem of Ross Phillipy and Alex Harmon started to dominate. Southwood would out score Whitko 14-7 in the second to take a 30-21 lead to the locker room. The Knights would come out in the third quarter and extend their lead, out scoring Whitko 20-14 to take a 50-35 lead with a quar-

ter to go, then kept the pedal to the metal in the fourth, winning the quarter 18-12 for the 68-47 final. Leading Southwood was Corey Phillipy with 34 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assist, 4 steals, 2 blocks. Alex Harmon added 13 points, 1 steal, 2 blocks. Ross Phillipy had 11 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assist, 1 steal. Noah Kirk had 4 points, 1 rebound, 1

in obesity medicine are able to positively impact all systems of the body by incorporating weight management into traditional models of medical practice. Specifically, this subspecialty requires competency in and a thorough understanding of the treatment of obesity and the genetic, biologic, environmental, social and behavioral factors that contribute to obesity. Dr. Lindsay was among only 158 physicians nationally who successfully completed this year’s exam. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of U.S. adults and 17 percent of U.S. children and adolescents are affected by obesity. Obesityrelated conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of

cancer. In 2008, medical costs associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion. Supervision from a health care provider is necessary to detect and treat weight-related medical conditions. A health care program supervised by a physician who is certified in obesity medicine offers a comprehensive and effective approach to maximizing overall health and reversing obesity-related comorbidities. “In our own state, the prevalence of adult obesity is 31.4 percent,” said Dr. Lindsay. “I am interested in being part of the solution to this medical epidemic by locally helping

patients affected by obesity who seek access to therapeutic lifestyle modification and safe evidencebased medical treatment options.” Patients and their health care providers need a variety of options for obesity treatments, since no single treatment approach will work for every individual. The American Society of Bariatric Physicians provides guidance to its members through the newly released O b e s i t y Algorithm(tm) charts, which outline four medical weight-loss methods: dietary modification, exercise prescription, behavior modification and, when appropriate,

m e d i c a t i o n . Physicians may also discuss surgical options with patients for excess fat reduction. More about the algorithm is available a t www.ObesityAlgorith m.org. In 2012, Dr. Lindsay, founded NuStart. NuStart is a clinic dedicated to practical solutions in the areas of nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management and offers a wellness program that is designed to help patients achieve better health through lifestyle modification. NuStart has offices in both Wabash and Marion. Also, Dr. Lindsay is a member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians.

Since its founding in January 2012, ABOM has sought to further the accreditation of a sub-specialization of medical practice: obesity medicine. The ABOM offers a certification examination to assist physicians in attaining competency in this increasingly important and universally relevant aspect of medical care. Practitioners who take the exam are physicians from a variety of medical disciplines, including internal medicine, family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, endocrinology, surgery, preventative medicine, gastroenterology and sports medicine. Learn more at www.abom.org.

Wabash Area Community Theater announces auditions for spring play The Wabash Area Community Theater (WACT) will be presenting Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo on March 21, 22, and 23. This backstage farce by the author of Lend Me a Tenor brought Carol Burnett back to Broadway co-starring with Philip Bosco as her megalomanic, drunken husband and leading man. Hilarious misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures. The cast includes 4 men and 4

women ranging in age from 20’s to 60’s. Auditions will be held at the Honeywell Center Friday, Jan. 24, 6:30–8:30 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 25, 2-4 p.m. Jeff Carnagua will be directing this production. Jeff is an alumni of several WACT musicals and a past WACT board member. His experience also includes acting and directing with Ole Olson Theater in Peru and the Logansport Civic

Theater. WACT is pleased to be able to offer this opportunity for actors and theater goers alike to be a part of the uplifting experience of comedic theater. Information on dates, times, and ticket sales may be found on the web site www.wabashcommun i t y t h e a t e r. o r g . Questions may be directed to the producer, Beth Miller, at 260-568-1128.

Beacon Credit Union returns over $730,000 to its memberborrowers on New Year’s Eve To reward its member-owners for their loyalty and the solid operating results recognized in 2013, the Board of Directors of Beacon Credit Union returned over $730,000 of loan interest back to member-owners who utilize Beacon Credit Union for their borrowing needs. The money returned to borrowers was in the form of a loan interest rebate. Those receiving the rebate were memberowners who: paid interest on a loan during 2013, whose loan was not delinquent in its payments as of Dec. 31, 2013; and whose loan remained active as of Dec. 31, 2013. The qualifying 6,896 loan accounts held by member-own-

ers received 4 percent of the total interest paid during the year. The rebated interest effectively reduced the annual percentage rate paid to the credit union for loans by approximately 11.5 basis points. Each borrower whose loan qualified for the loan interest rebate received a deposit into their Savings Plus account on Dec. 31, 2013. Over the past seven years, Beacon Credit Union has returned over $6.2 million of collected loan interest back to member-borrowers through loan interest rebates. Beacon Credit Union is a full service, locally owned, credit union that provides a wide range of prod-

ucts and services including savings accounts; checking accounts; Certificates of Deposit; IRAs; Investment and Trust Opportunities; Consumer, Real Estate, Commercial and Agricultural Loans; plus all of today’s conveniences of mobile banking, internet banking, online bill pay, online statements, Debit Cards, ATMs and Telephone Teller access. The credit union operates 20 convenient service offices throughout north central and northeast Indiana to provide financial products and services to 46,000 members.

THE PAPER

www.thepaperofwabash.com

January 22, 2014

State fire marshal looks to put a freeze on winter fires Indiana is expected to see another week of below freezing temperatures starting Monday. As Hoosiers prepare for another blast of frigid air, the Indiana State Fire Marshal is asking citizens to exercise caution when using heating equipment, such as wood stoves or space heaters, to heat their homes. “We have already seen the tragic consequences of the improper use of heating equipment in Indiana this year,” said Indiana State Fire Marshal Jim Greeson. “Three chil-

dren perished in a Hammond house fire as a result of a propane-fueled space heater being near combustible material.” In addition to properly using heating equipment, residents should have a working smoke detector placed outside each sleeping area of the home and on each floor. Working smoke alarms double the chance of surviving a fire. Things to keep in mind when using heating equipment: Space heaters • Space heaters

need space. Keep heaters away from flammable materials such as bedding, drapes, clothing, etc. • Use the proper grade of fuel for your liquid-fueled space heater and never use gasoline in any heater not approved for gasoline use. • Refuel space heaters only in a well ventilated area and when the equipment is cool. • Plug power cords only into outlets with sufficient capacity, never into an extension cord. • Turn off space heaters whenever the

room they are in is unoccupied. • Turn off space heaters when you go to bed each night to avoid knocking them over in the dark. Woodstoves or fireplaces • Use only dry, seasoned wood in a fireplace or woodstove to

avoid the build-up of creosote, an oily deposit that easily catches fire. • Use only paper or kindling wood, not a flammable liquid, to start the fire. Do not use artificial logs in woodstoves. • Make sure your fireplace has a sturdy

screen to prevent sparks from flying into the room. • Allow fireplace and woodstove ashes to cool before disposing in a metal container, which is kept a safe distance from your home. Generators • Never use a gen-

erator inside. • Place emergency generators outdoors away from windows and doors to prevent fumes from entering the home. • Have a carbon monoxide detector in the house that sounds an alarm when dangerous carbon monoxide levels are found.
