THE PAPER May 16, 2012

Proudly Serving Wabash County Since 1977

Lagro and Lincolnville Fire Departments set to merge services by Brent Swan In a prepared statement released recently, the Lagro Township Trustee, Andy DeLong, announced upcoming changes in fire protection and Emergency Medical Services protection within the township. According to the release, the Lagro Township Advisory Board, comprised of members, Terry Bassett, Ralph Ranck, and Max Chamberlain, and the township trustee announced the reorganization of the Lincolnville and Lagro Volunteer Fire Departments. The reorganization is based upon their continuing efforts to improve the emergency services, provided to the residents of Lagro Township. Lagro Township is one of the largest townships by geographic area in the entire State of Indiana. The membership of the Lincolnville Fire Department has decreased recently, and some of the more active volunteers live outside of the Lincolnville area. As a result of these and other factors, a consolidation of the

departments is recommended. Lagro Fire Department and Lincolnville Fire Departments will be consolidated under the current leadership of the Lagro Department. All of the existing members of both departments will have the option to continue as volunteers. All reporting requirements, run statistics, fundraisers and department funding will remain separate, but may be reviewed at a later time. The unified department will operate in a similar manner as Noble North and Noble South Volunteer Fire Departments currently operate. The goal is to provide more efficient and more professional emergency service coverage for Lagro Township. Scott Siders will continue to serve as the chief of the combined departments. Training, equipment maintenance, and response to emergency calls will continue, without any interruption. The procedure for Lagro Township residents to request emergency services remains

THE LAGRO AND LINCOLNVILLE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS recently announced they are merging services in an effort to better serve residents of the southern portion of Lagro Township. Services will remain largely the same, but emergency calls in Lincolnville’s primary response area will result in the dispatch of both departments until further notice. (photos by Brent Swan)

unchanged. “We made these changes in an effort to offer taxpayers the best and most affordable protective services we can offer,” advisory board member Ralph Ranck said. “We want people to know when they call 911, that they are going to get a quick and professional response, just as they always have.” One of the contributing factors to the decision was the number of volunteers on Lincolnville’s department. “After talking about it for several months,

we decided we need ed to make this change until we got the situation taken care of,” Ranck explained. “The number of active firefighters on the department kept going down, so we had to do something.” After much deliberation, the board and the trustee agreed a merger was in the best interest of southern Lagro Township residents. “This decision reaches a much larger area than only the town of Lincolnville,” Ranck said. “There are a lot of farms and other areas that need-

ed an improved response, so we felt this option was the best available at this time.” Although the change has been officially enacted at this time, Ranck said the merger is not necessarily a permanent solution. “We told the guys that stayed on at Lincolnville, if they can come to us with a viable long-term plan and they are able to get their numbers back up, then we will revisit the situation then,” Ranck said. Although the

departments will merge, Ranck said the departments will continue to be funded separately. “At this time, we are in negotiations to i m p r o v e Lincolnville’s tanker situation,” Ranck explained. “With the newer fire station and some equipment improvements, we’d like to start seeing those numbers get back to where they should be.” The consolidation was announced at a recent meeting of the volunteer departments, by the board and the trustee. The

consolidation is effective immediately. Residents in the northern portion of the township will not notice any changes to their services. In the near future, Ranck said he hopes to hold a public meeting to allow those affected by the change. The Paper will publish the details as they become available. Phone calls to the Lagro Township Trustee’s office requesting comment went unreturned as of press time.

Mental Health America of Wabash County under new leadership by Brent Swan On January 1st of this year, Mental Health America of Wabash County (MHA) welcomed Jill Stout as the new executive director. Stout replaced Mary Ann Mast, who had been associated with MHA for nearly 50 years, including the past 25 years as executive director. “Mary Ann is great,” Stout said. “She has been instrumental in forming where MHA of Wabash County is today. I have been for-

tunate enough that she has helped in the transition. After spending the first part of this year in the job, you start to realize what all she was responsible for and how much she helped MHA of Wabash County get to where it is today.” After spending time in the office as executive director, Stout said she has been surprised by how many groups Mast had been involved with. “I never realized how many meetings Mary Ann attended,”

Stout said. “That’s been a real eye opener, in a good way, as it shows how involved our organization is in the community.” As part of its involvement, MHA of Wabash County attends various local health fairs and events, including recent activities at Manchester College and Southwood High School, as well as larger events such as the Wabash County 4H Fair. “Attending those events are good ways for us to disseminate

information about the issues, and connect with people one on one so they feel comfortable about any issues they might have,” Stout said. “We don’t just deal with mental illness, we also deal with mental wellness, to not only those directly impacted but the families and caregivers of those that are.” Funded entirely by donations and grants, the non-profit organization leans heavily on the Wabash County United Fund.

Wabash Cannonball to hold Public Youth Open Ride to promote youth safety May 19 by Karlee Marshall If you’re driving down Dora Road you may be lucky enough to see the sight of youth and adults riding dirt bikes and quads at Wabash C a n n o n b a l l Motorcycle Club. According to club historian Phil Penn this racetrack has been in operation since 1937 when it started out as a flat track and professional TT racing track. Among its founders was Wabash’s own Waldo Brandt. Wabash Cannonball is the Nation’s oldest track in the American

M o t o r c y c l e Association (AMA). They now host races and open rides for community members during the summer and fall months. Starting brand new this year, Cannonball is hosting a Free Public Youth Open Ride on May 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is a ride open to any individual between the ages of four and 16. The purpose of this ride is to promote safety and proper safety gear usage while operating off-road motorized vehicles. “Its really about the kids,” says Brad Lee,

a member of Wabash Cannonball. The whole premise of the club is to promote the sport of motorcycle riding, and along with that comes safety.” Youth and adults who are interested in this ride are encouraged to bring their dirt bike or 4-wheeler and any safety gear they may have. There will be experienced adults there to assist youth in learning how to operate the vehicle safely, all while wearing the necessary safety equipment. Lee states “If we can influence one kid, even just one, to never

and used safety equipment. On the day of the ride, there will be different stations set up for kids to split into groups. Club Members will guide the youth through various drills emphasizing correct riding techniques. A lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs as well as a drink will be provided free of charge. To find out about more events at Wabash Cannonball, visit their website at www.wabashcannonballmc.com or find them on Facebook.

get on a motorized vehicle without wearing a helmet and the proper safety equipment, and it keeps them from getting hurt then we’ve accomplished our mission.” Jay Wagner, an instructor at the School of Braaap, will be on-site to talk with the kids about proper operation and how important it is to always wear proper safety equipment while on their offroad vehicle. At the ride, there will be door prizes, donated by many local shops, including safety gear

awareness to the great culinary experiences available throughout the county.” Editorials about Wabash County dining are featured on the IFA website which is www.indianafoodways.com. Currently, Mr. Dave’s Restaurant, the Main View Inn, KenapocoMocha, Hawkins Family Farm, Twenty, Market Street Grill and Eugenia’s Restaurant are among the first to gain attention via the Indiana Foodways Alliance. Qualifying restaurants must meet certain criteria and pass an onsite assessment, which includes a food tasting with an Indiana Foodways Alliance representative. “By realizing that nearly 100 percent of tourists dine out when traveling, and that dining is consistently one of the top three favorite tourist activities, we have the opportunity to tap into the culinary tourism market by partnering with Indiana Foodways Alliance,” stated Flohr. “There is a high correlation between tourists who are interested in wine/cuisine and those interested in museums, shows, shopping, music, film festivals and outdoor recreation. Unlike other travel activities and attractions, cuisine is available year-

round, any time of day and in any weather.” Most recently, the Indiana Foodways Alliance has been featured in such publications as the Indy Star, Traditional Arts Indiana and Gotta Go and has a returning segment on NPR as well as WIBC 93.1 an Indianapolis radio station. “I am still seeking additional restaurants and artisan eateries to participate in the program,”

CVB promotes local eateries The Wabash County Convention and Visitors Bureau has launched a partnership with Indiana Foodways Alliance (IFA) as an opportunity to highlight the county’s local restaurants and appeal to culinary tourists. A unique food and drink experience has the power to lure tourists like museums, recreation and shopping. Culinary tourism is the hottest niche to emerge within the travel industry in years because dining is one of the best ways visitors can get to know a new locale. Of the more than $330 billion Americans spent on food in 2011, nearly 80 percent was spent in restaurants and nearly one-third of that was spent on fine dining, according to Erik Wolf, president and CEO of the Culinary Tourism Association. Regional foods and recipes are a major part of what makes one place different from another. The Indiana Foodways Alliance is dedicated to the celebration, promotion and preservation of the authentic food culture of Indiana. “Wabash County has so many locally owned and operated eateries worthy of p r o m o t i n g , ” explained Christine Flohr, executive director of tourism. “This partnership leverages our marketing efforts and draws

6 Huntington University to launch graduate Kimberly Soulides and Dereck Vanlandingham wed in Chicago programs in occupational therapy www.thepaperofwabash.com

H u n t i n g t o n University is planning to launch the first graduate-level degree programs in occupational therapy in Northeast Indiana in the fall of 2014. The university is in the process of searching for a director who will help to create the master’s and doctoral level degree programs. This will be the university’s first doctorate degree and its first graduate programs in allied health.

May 16, 2012

“Developing graduate programs in occupational therapy is an exciting venture for HU,” said Dr. Ann McPherren, senior vice president for strategy and graduate/adult programs. “Preparing occupational therapists at HU won’t be just about teaching skills and credentialing students. It’s about developing leaders who have a heart for serving others and who have the knowledge and motivation to pos-

itively impact their places of employment and our communities.” The graduate programs will be located within the new Life Science Education and Research Consortium of Northeast Indiana in Fort Wayne. The programs will work with and build on the support of the other institutions in the consortium including Trine University, which plans to launch a doctoral program in physical therapy program at the same location. The programs will also build on Huntington’s undergraduate degrees in exercise science, nursing and recreation management. Fort Wayne Community Schools, Ivy Tech Community College-Northeast

and the University of Saint Francis will offer programs through the consortium, as well. “Occupational therapy is an in-demand field which is expected to continue to grow given recent medical developments with stroke survivors as well as people recovering from joint and hip replacements,” said Dr. Norris Friesen, senior vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty. “Given the interest in exercise science, our mission and the fact that there are no other similar programs in our area, this is a very unique opportunity for us to influence the next generate of occupational therapists with an accredited program that seeks to integrate God’s message of grace and love by helping people regain their strength and abilities to live full and fruitful lives.” The Life Science Education and Research Consortium will open on the Parkview Randallia campus in Fort Wayne. Along with the occupational therapy programs, Huntington will offer bachelor’s degree programs in human resource management, not-for-profit leadership, RN-BSN degree completion and its Master of Counseling program.

Mental Health America of Wabash County... continued from front page “Without the United Fund, we literally could not exist,” Stout said. “We apply for and get grants for different programs, but we cannot thank the United Fund enough. We also have a great group of individual donors that help us out and we need to thank them as well.”

The MHA of Wabash County offers a variety of programs and services to those suffering from, or people who are around those that are experiencing any form of mental health issue. Programs they offer include, support groups such as Living In Balance, as

well as offering referrals to mental health professionals. In an effort to increase the reach of the organization, Stout said MHA of Wabash County is currently redeveloping its website with the hopes of it becoming fully functional by mid to late June.

“I never expected the type of work that I do throughout this job to be as varied as it is,” Stout said. “As part of the job, I’ve been involved with the Success for All committee and the C o m m u n i t y Corrections committee, and you start to see how important those are in working

Ending a nationwide search, Manchester College is turning to Executive Vice President Dave McFadden as its new dean for the School of Pharmacy. McFadden, who was influential in establishment of the professional Doctor of Pharmacy program in Fort Wayne, has served as interim dean for five months. Founding Dean Phil Medon resigned in November for health reasons. “Dave was at the forefront in our thinking and planning for the Pharmacy School and has immersed

himself in learning about pharmacy for the past five years,” said President Jo Young Switzer in announcing the appointment, effective May 4. “He worked with the core team that developed the successful $35 million grant proposal for the School of Pharmacy to Lilly Endowment Inc.” Pharmacy classes begin Aug. 13 on the new Manchester campus in north Fort Wayne. Working from a national pool of 470 a p p l i c a n t s , Manchester is within a week of filling its first class of 70 stu-

dents for the four-year program. McFadden has more than 20 years of higher education leadership experience. At Manchester, he has led enrollment, strategic planning and marketing initiatives, as well as the name change to University scheduled for July 1. He has served as interim dean of academic affairs and assistant professor of political science. The 1982 graduate of Manchester College holds a Ph.D. from Claremont Graduate School. A search committee

reviewed a strong pool of applicants and brought two finalists to the campuses. Afterward, both the committee and Manchester’s national pharmacy consultant recommended McFadden assume the position. McFadden will continue as executive vice president, retaining an office on the North Manchester campus but spending the majority of his time in Fort Wayne.

Foster Teen Horizons Christian parenting Outreach announces its meeting Friday Night Lights program to be held May 22 A Foster Parenting Orientation Meeting will be held May 22 at 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. for individuals in Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami and Wabash counties who are interested in becoming foster parents. Please call Amy Rowbury at 765-4736611 for more information and/or to register for this event.

Teen Horizons Christian Outreach, (THCO) a local nonprofit program, is gearing up to make a change in the youth of our community by hosting Friday Night Lights at the firehouse. Every Friday night beginning May 25, THCO will invade “The Firehouse” and provide free entertainment and food to area teens. Teen Horizons is pulling in mentors from the area to help

at the events and to be present to listen and talk with the area teens. Teen Horizons also has live shows scheduled each month from Christian artists such as Follower, Made Alive, 77 Times, A Life Set Apart, and many more. Teen Horizons needs your help to impact our teen’s lives. They cannot do it on their own and are in need of partners to help offset the cost of the live enter-

tainment, food and paper expenses associated with running this program. It is estimated to cost roughly $1500 a month to run the program which includes 1 live event. Each live event is estimated to cost around $500. Teen Horizons would love to have more than just the four live events already scheduled and and with the right partnerships we can make this is a reality.

A NEW BUSINESS LETTERHEAD? Coyne thanks anonymous donor NEED THE PAPER Dear editor, I’d like to take this time and space to express my sincere thanks to the anonymous donor who generously gave $10,000 to be used for our Holiday Food Basket Projects and other benevolence through Lighthouse Mission. That gift came as such an encouragement to us! Used with other generous donations, we were able to provide 650 families in Wabash County with

an Easter Food Basket. This project has grown to great proportions over the years using hundreds of volunteers of all ages to pack and carry out groceries for those who are unable to provide for themselves. We believe this has impacted our community both for the giver and the recipient. It’s amazing the blessing and encouragement a sack of groceries can be.

Thanks again to all who participated in this labor intensive project. May God richly bless those who generously gave of their dollars and all those who came and worked. For more information, call 260-563-6979. I would love to tell you all that goes on at Lighthouse Mission and other ways you could be involved. Thanks again. Claire Coyne

Eviston thanks Ford Meter Box for food drive Dear editor, I am a recent retiree of Ford Meter Box, and am currently living in Florida. I recently received word that the Ford Meter Box Company and its employees held a canned food drive for the F.I.S.H. organization of Wabash. There are numerous members of the community, many with children, that constantly struggle to make ends meet, they desperately need help coming up with money for food, toiletries, etc. that so many of us take for granted. This is why the F.I.S.H. organization is such a blessing for so many. People know they can come to F.I.S.H. without judgment, only receiving help. The volunteers who so generously make time to help out every week often do not have a lot of food or toiletry items to work with. Because of that, the Ford Meter Box Company and all of its employees deserve a huge thank you for so generously giving to this vital organization of the Wabash community. Thank you.

Pair of ATV accidents land two in local hospitals Indiana conservation officers are investigating two personal injury ATV accidents, which landed the operators in local hospitals. I n d i a n a Conservation Officer John Salb reports that Mark Brubaker, 51, North Manchester, was the victim who was operating his 2006 Honda TRX 350 in a wooded area on private property. He rode off of the established trail and in his attempt to turn around found a log in his way. Brubaker nudged his front ATV tires up against the log accelerating enough to clear the machine over it.

He was transported by a personal vehicle to Pleasant Township Fire Department a short dstance away and then by LifeMed Ambulance to Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne. Victim was not wearing a helmet. In a separate accident in Miami County, Officer Guido Tims reports that Donald Ray Jr., 21, Bunker Hill, was performing a “wheelie” in front of friends. As the front wheels of the ATV reconnected with the ground, the victim lost control of the ATV causing him to fall off of the ATV. The ATV rolled over the victim and land-

ed upright. The ATV continued on without a driver approximately 145 feet stopping after it made contact with the property owner’s house. No protective gear was worn. The victim was transported to Dukes Hospital in Peru. Other agencies that responded include the Miami Co. Sheriff ’s Dept, ISP, Dukes Memorial Hospital and Denver Fire and Rescue. Indiana conservation officers want to remind ATV operators that wearing proper protective gear especially a helmet should be worn at all times. Both victims in these accidents were not wearing protective gear which if worn may have lessened their injuries. Indiana conservation officers offer ATV safety classes around the state and encourage ATV operators to “Ride Responsibly”.

Hawkins Family Farm announces fourth season of Fridays on the Farm

HOPE CSA, in conjunction with Hawkins Family Farm, is pleased to announce the return of Fridays on the Farm, the weekly dining event featuring artisan pizzas made with all natural, locally sourced ingredients baked in an out-

door, wood-fired brick oven. Pizza will be served most Fridays during the summer from 5 to 8 p.m. starting May 18. “We serve 10 inch pizzas,” said Jeff Hawkins, owner of Hawkins Family Farm and executive director of HOPE

CSA, Inc. “The dough is hand-stretched rather than rolled in order to maintain its structure for a perfect crust. Add to this basil and tomatoes freshly picked from our gardens in season, pepperoni or sausage from our pigs, flour milled by Greenfield Mills in Howe, Indiana, and cheese made by Swissland Cheese in Berne, Indiana, and

you have an eating experience that is hard to beat.” Friday night pizza has become a tradition for many in Wabash County. My kids look forward to it all week!” says North Manchester Resident Ashleigh Maxcey. “Getting to wander around the farm while the food cooks is a great break for me and a fascinating

adventure for the kids.” Many travel hours for this unique dining experience. “[I love] being able to sit and talk with my friends and family. The atmosphere is amazing!” says Indianapolis Resident Britta Eberly Glass. Pizzas can be taken out or enjoyed picnicstyle on the farm. Diners are encouraged to bring blankets

or lawn chairs, table service and beverages, as there will be no napkins, utensils, tables, trash cans or beverages available on the farm. Diners are also responsible for removing all trash from the property once they are finished. Pizzas may be paid for with cash, check or credit card. Reservations and preorders are not accept-

ed; orders are taken on a first come, first serve basis. All profits from Fridays on the Farm benefit HOPE CSA, a non-profit ecumenical teaching ministry that offers a course of experiential learning and academic study to assist pastors to become healthier and more effective leaders.

Bentley breaks home run record during Knights split with Oak Hill

by Gary Andrews The Southwood softball team split a double header with Oak Hill May 12. Oak Hill won game one 7-1, while the Lady Knights came back to win game two 6-4. Jenny Bentley broke the single season home run record in game two with her ninth homer of the year. The previous record was held by Olivia Winget. In game one starting pitcher Jordyn Chain allowed just five hits, but the

Knight offense struggled and the defense had some holes, committing six errors in the 7-1 loss. Oak Hill scored four runs in the first after Sarah White made a great running catch for the first out. A couple hits and errors gave the Golden Eagles their runs as Oak Hill led 4-0. The Knights did not strike until the third when Haley Parish drew a walk and Jenny Bentley doubled her in to make it 5-1 after three.

Oak Hill would go on to score two more times for the 7-1 final. Game two was much different for the Lady Knights as they pounded out 15 hits and committed just two errors. Southwood wasted no time getting on the board. In the top of the first, Jessica Foley singled and was followed by Bentley’s record breaking home run. The Knights would tack on another run with singles from Courtney Simpson and Logan Hensley to

lead 3-0. Neither team would score until the fourth when the Knights went to work again. Foley singled and was driven in with a Bentley single to make it 4-0. Simpson would then lace a double to bring Bentley home and the Knights were up 5-0. In the fifth Oak Hill would make it a game. The Lady Eagles scored three runs on four hits in the inning to cut the Knight lead to 5-3. In the top of the 7th

A citizen provides review First Farmers Bank of Wabash County & Trust acquires Citizens National Bank Comprehensive Plan draft First Farmers Financial Corp., Converse, and First Citizens of Paris, Inc., Paris, Ill., completed their previously announced merger on May 1, by which Citizens National Bank merged into First Farmers Bank & Trust, the wholly owned subsidiary bank of FFFC. Gene Miles, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Farmers Bank & Trust stated, “We are extremely excited at the blending of these two organizations. Both banks share the common philosophy of commitment to community banking and rural agriculture. We feel that our combined staffs will be in an excellent position to provide comprehensive financial services to clients in

new markets that are economically and culturally similar to those that First Farmers Bank & Trust has served very effectively since 1885.� The acquisition will give First Farmers Bank & Trust 24 branches (21 in Indiana and 3 in Illinois), over $1.1 billion in assets, and gross capital of over $100 million. “Technology certainly allows our organization to serve markets that we would not have predicted 20 years ago. “However, it is certainly not a substitute for possessing experienced, qualified, and conscientious local employees to serve these markets in a progressive and comprehensive manner. We are only as capable as those that represent

our name and I am confident that customers in Paris, Oakland, and Terre Haute will find our organization to be unique in our level of service and expertise. Our strong capital position gives us an excellent opportunity to grow this business and we’re excited about the future of our combined operations,� added Miles. Mike Renninger, Renninger & Associates LLC, has acted, as financial advisor to First Farmers Financial Corp. and Tom Blank of Shumaker Loop & Kendrick, LLP, is counsel to First Farmers Financial Corp. in connection with the transaction. Financial terms of the transaction were not announced.

Dear editor, We have reviewed the recent draft of the Wabash County Comprehensive Plan (at the Wabash Library) and in our opinion it has some very good points, but is lacking in providing promotion of manufacturing, professional and retail jobs, while being overly supportive of agricultural animal farms. This can be destructive to rural households as well as water supplies to cities. It also seems to be attempting to force rural citizens to sign a waiver of their rights and turn over all control of their homeowner’s rights and self-preservation of health, by signing the “Sample, A g r i c u l t u r e Compatibility Clause� in Appendix H. Obviously the ones in office and those that are developing the comprehensive plan are, as a majority, agriculture-related and not for manufacturing, professional and retail. (p. 72) We need manufacturing, professional and retail good jobs, not just make a few rich animal farm owners. Are we being taken over by Russia? What happened to freedom of choice? Why do we allow one segment of the industry (large animal farms) to endanger our health and restrict our living environment? We urge everyone to review this new Comprehensive Plan and reflect on their current and future living plans. Then express your views

(in writing, for the record) to the County Zoning and Planning Commissioners and County Council. We may have missed it, but we see no revealing of the planned rezoning of the county into multitiered agriculture zones without this being made public, we are totally ignorant of the impact on our lives. You are about to determine the rest of your life here in Wabash County. We have briefly shown below some of the Comprehensive Plan’s information to show why this is our opinion. - Median Household Income: (p. 47) Although it shows it has increased, when you factor in inflation, it shows it has d r a m at i c a l ly decreased from 1979 to 2009. Wabash Employment Percent: (p. 50) From 2000 until 2010, almost 50 percent of manufacturing jobs were lost. (40 percent in 2000 to 23 percent in 2010); agriculture, forest, fishing and hunting increased from 1.5 percent to 3.2 percent; health care and social assets remained at about the same percent; and retail trade declined from 14 percent to 10 percent. Land Use Introduction: (p. 73) “Objective – Enact a strong farmland preservation�. This leads us to believe the intent is to move towards larger farms with a smaller number of farm workers, deforest the land, push population into

towns, incorporate multi-tier agricultural zoning and take away freedoms from rural landowners. Also, see Appendix H where they want you to sign off from any complains against an agriculture enterprise (including a new or existing large animal farm). We need protection added in here that protects our health. - Environment: (p. 75) “Goal is to protect aquifers; incentives for agriculture to incorporate best practices in all agriculture and agriculture related operations; good preservation of natural wooded areas and wetlands; good environmental impact on recreational areas in county.â€? This goal is very good, but must have strong enforcement and the Appendix H “A g r i c u l t u r e Compatibility Clauseâ€? nullifies most of these goals. Without concrete guidelines for restricting pollution of air and groundwater from large CAFÉ and CFO animal farms, our air and water can be polluted much faster and heavier than by cities. - Appendix H (p. 136) “Sample, A g r i c u l t u r e Compatibility Clauseâ€?: This is what they are recommending that new rural homeowners or prospective businesses agree to before they will let them build or expand in the county. “First, acknowledges and agrees that the real estate is in or adjacent to an area zoned for‌animal

husbandry, land application of animal waste, the raising, breeding and sale of livestock and poultry, including confinement feeding operation‌â€? “Second, waives any and all objections to any such agricultural uses on any real estate zoned for such uses within one mile of any boundary of the real estate, whether such uses currently exist, are enlarged or changed in use in the future to another agricultural use.â€? This gives them an open book! Notice that although the County Zoning and P l a n n i n g Commission have only zoned for large animal farms (hog, chicken, dairy, CFOCAFOs) to be restricted from operating within a quarter mile of existing rural residents and a half mile of state park and recreation areas; they are making you waive your complaint rights on any proposed use of residence or business within a onemile radius of an area zoned for agricultural uses. “Third, agrees that such agricultural uses, whether currently existing or hereafter established, enlarged, or changed, do not constitute a nuisance, as long as they are not negligently maintained, do not cause bodily injury to third parties, or endanger human health.â€? Who will be the judge of this? IN case you didn’t know it, the entire responsibility for your health from spreading of fertilizers (manure) now falls under the State Chemist Department – not under your local health department. And with the new agriculture nuisance law, passed this year, you will have to be rich to fight a large corporation animal farm. So please review this new Comprehensive Plan and decide on your own future here in Wabash County. Robert and Leslie Patterson Lagro

NORTH MANCHESTER ROTARIANS got hands-on experience when Julie Dyson, Junior Achievement area coordinator, gave a presentation to them recently. The Rotary Club members split into two teams to perform an activity from JA’s Our Community program. Teams used unit production and assembly line production methods to produce as many donuts as possible in a two-minute period. Club members had to mix the ingredients, shape the donuts, flavor them and inspect their work for defects just as Manchester second grade students participating in the program do. Members pictured are: (from left) Karl Merrit, Tim Hoffman, Carl Lemna, Kay Batdorf, Deb Brauneller, Viv Simmons, Dick Harshbarger, Denny Butler and David Rogers. (photo provided)

Laketon Legion Auxiliary holds April meeting The Laketon American Legion Auxiliary carried out the April Children and Youth program through one of their members, Sharon Meredith, teacher of Area Five Head Start program in Wabash. This is a ‘free program’ to qualifying families for children reaching age three by Aug. 1. Head Start with certified staff offers individual teaching; nutritional meals; hearing, visual and speech screenings; health and social services; and services for children with special needs. Mrs. Meredith stated she currently has 17 children ages

three, four, and five for five hours a day, four days a week. She shared some of the projects, one of which included the making and baking of a gingerbread boy that ran away. The children’s “work” was put together in a “book form” and thanks to Heckman bindery in North Manchester, it is being bound into a book and copies will be made for each child. It is a very rewarding job and one she enjoys carrying out the duties and responsibilities and working with the children and parents. School types of supplies are always

DSM-5 and Bipolar Disorder in children There is a lot of discussion about the proposed new designation for childhood bipolar disorder as Temper Dysregulation Disorder (TDD) in the fifth edition Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), which will be completed in May 2013. The current designations for bipolar disorder include the following: Bipolar I (one or more mania or mixed episodes with one or more episodes of depression), Bipolar II (one or more depressive episodes with at least one hypomaniac episode), and Bipolar Not Otherwise Specified (NOS), which diagnosis may be made in addition to schizophrenia or various psychotic or delusional disorders. Persons with bipolar disorder know that it sometimes itself has psychotic features such as delusions and hallucinations; anxiety problems; and even some symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as often severe problems with irritability and anger. Bipolar disorder has in the past been diagnosed predominantly in adults 18-25 years of age, but in the past several years, bipolar has been diagnosed in many young children and adolescents, even in toddlers. The DSM-5 proposes to add temper dysregulation disorder as an aid in diagnosing children and adolescents who do not meet the specific criteria of the adult bipolar categories, and there is much argument pro and con for this label. Many doctors believe that the TDD diagnosis will prevent the stigma of a “hard” mental illness diagnosis for children, and will better describe the common childhood bipolar episodes of extreme irritability, tantrums, grandiose thinking, and reckless behaviors. In addition, they believe that with this diagnosis, they will not be labeling children with a lifelong diagnosis of a mental illness. They also think that this diagnosis will preclude the prescription of adult antidepressants and antipsychotics for children. But other practitioners believe that TDD is simply a way of avoiding reality: bipolar disorder is what it is, regardless of labeling. It is possible for the disease to occur in children, and while the limitations of safe treatment options exist, they do not justify ignorance of the disease. While it is becoming apparent that some children are misdiagnosed (for instance, the 2006 court case involving Rebecca Riley and her siblings, diagnosed as toddlers and taking large doses of antipsychotics prescribed by an unscrupulous psychiatrist and deliberately overdosed by greedy, neglectful parents, resulting in Rebecca’s death), others are helped with very mild doses of these medications and personal and family therapy. It will be many years before the actual effects of these powerful drugs on developing minds are fully understood, but any parent who has had a very young child attack a sibling with a knife or threaten or commit suicide will tell you that there is indeed a childhood version of bipolar disorder. A serious problem in the definition of bipolar disorder is presented by pharmaceutical manufacturers, also. While antipsychotic drugs are a Godsend for many people, drug companies are spending more of their budgets on advertising to the general public than ever before. As more and more celebrities are “coming out” as bipolar, more and more patients are going to their doctors, saying, “I have bipolar disorder,” though many of them seem to have little understanding of what the illness entails. The affect of the media “hype” around bipolar disease and its treatments presents a problem for those truly suffering from the illness. Is this a factor to be considered in the formation of a new bipolar diagnosis such as TDD? The physicians who are developing the DSM-5 must take into consideration all these factors before deciding to add TDD to the bipolar spectrum. TDD could help many youngsters with early bipolar disorder, but it could also prolong their exposure to powerful drugs and incompetent or exploitative physicians. Perhaps it would be wiser to leave the diagnoses as they are and reformulate the prescribed treatments with a greater focus on metal health therapy and on life-skills training. In either case, bipolar disorder is a difficult diagnosis to make, and a difficult disorder to treat. Hopefully, physicians will keep that in mind in formulating the DSM-5 criteria for diagnostic procedures for juvenile bipolar disorder. To learn more about the proposed changes to the DSM-5, check the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM website at http://www.dsm5.org/Pages/RecentUpdates.aspx.

Eight gifts that don’t cost a cent The Gift of Listening - But you must really listen. No interrupting, no planning your response, just listening. The Gift of Affection - Be generous with hugs, kisses and pats on the back. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends. The Gift of Laughter - Share articles and funny stories, clip cartoons. Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with you.” The Gift of a Written Note - It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or a complete sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime and may even change a life. The Gift of a Compliment - A simple and sincere, “You look great in that suit,” “You did a super job” or “That was a wonderful meal” can make someone’s day. The Gift of a Favor - Every day, go out of your way to do something kind. The Gift of Solitude - There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.

Living in Balance support group The new name of our mental illness support group is Living in Balance. The Balance Sheet, the MHA of Wabash County’s quarterly newsletter, has inherited its name from the bipolar support group newsletter. These names emphasize that “balance” is the most important term to me as a bipolar person, and I believe it is the key to mental wellness. I have often said at support group meetings that I hate the term “normal” in reference to mental health. In my opinion, normal is used to describe some kind of ideal, a perfect state of mental health, a condition without stress or depression, pain or suffering, anxiety or anger, euphoria or rapture, a state that doesn’t really exist. Such a condition doesn’t sound appealing to me and is a pipe dream anyway. Balance, on the other hand, indicates a happy median between extremes, a range that can be achieved. People with bipolar

Working Together We live in stress-filled times-the stagnant economy and job market, terrorism throughout the world, environmental concerns-we are assaulted daily by the pressures the world and our own lives place upon us. Yet we also have moments of joy and happiness, confident that we can move through and past our problems. Many people who deal with mental health issues, theirs or those of a loved one or friend, do not have that happiness or confidence. Mental illness can take away your pleasure in life, your trust in your own judgment, and your ability to move forward toward your goals. Mental Health America of Wabash County is here to help. Our mission is to work for the mental health of everyone through public education, advocacy and public health reform. In the United States, one out of five adults suffers from a mental illness, about 45.9 million people. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reports that about 5 percent of U.S. adults suffered a serious mental illness in the past year, but the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that only 58.7 percent of those people received treatment. An estimated 15 million young people in the United

Parenting in the digital age

States have a diagnosable mental or emotional health disorder, but studies report that up to 80 percent will never receive treatment. You may have a family member or friend who deals with mental disease on a daily basis. Mental diseases, like diabetes, heart disease or asthma, are diagnosable and treatable, and with your help, we can spread the message that there is hope for people with mental illnesses, that everyone needs to learn how to maintain good mental health and to recognize the signs of a mental disease. Mental Health America of Wabash County provides brochures on many mental diseases; we offer the Living in Balance support group to help people deal with their own or others’ mental disorders; we partner with Wabash County Hospital Foundation on bullying programs for our schools; we offer information and education to other local organizations such as the Life Center, the Autism Support Group, Possibilities support group for families with specialneeds children, and Manchester College’s Department of Counseling Services. We work at the local, state and national level to reduce the stigma of mental illness and advocate for mental wellness for all people. We work to bring wellness home to Wabash County!

Mental Health America of Wabash County will offer a presentation on “Parenting 2.0: Raising Healthy Children in the Digital Age” on May 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Bowen Center Community Room, 255 N. Miami Street, in Wabash. The program will address Screentime and healthy development, social media and cyberbullying, and privacy and sex on the Internet. To reserve a seat, please contact Jill Stout at 260-569-1182 or toll free at 855-889-6429.

Ten tips to tame your temper This list of anger management tips from the Mayo Clinic will help you control your temper. - Give yourself a “timeout.” Counting to ten can really help you control your anger. - Give yourself some space. Distance yourself from the person you’re angry with until you have better control of your frustrations. - Once you are calm, express your anger. It’s healthy to express anger in a nonconfrontational manner; stewing about it can worsen the situation. - Get some exercise. Physical activity provides an outlet for your emotions, especially if you feel yourself losing control; walk, run or swim your frustrations to manageable levels. - Think carefully before you say anything. Don’t say something you will regret; write down your thoughts so you don’t get sidetracked when you feel calm enough to talk. - Identify solutions to the situation. Don’t focus on what made you mad; instead, work with the person you’re angry with to resolve the situation. - Use “I” statements to describe the problem. Avoid criticizing or casting blame. - Don’t hold a grudge. If you can forgive the other person, it will help you both. - Use humor to release tensions. Lighten up and diffuse the tension; but don’t use sarcasm-it can hurt feelings. - Practice relaxation skills. Learn to relax and de-stress to control your temper; deep breathing, visualization, listening to music, writing in a journal, doing yoga can all help to ease your anger. Practice these tips and learn to tame your temper.

Mental illness doesn’t predict violent behavior When people hear of violent acts in our society, many of them say of the perpetrators, “They must be crazy!” But the public perception of mental illness and violence going together is not an accurate one, according to recent studies. “Mental illness alone does not increase the risk of violence,” says Eric Elbogen, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, referencing his findings published in the February 2009 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry. In 2011 Dr. Seena Fazel, an Oxford University psychiatrist, led extensive scientific studies to discover if there are links between violence and two of the most serious psychiatric diagnoses-schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, either of which can include delusions, hallucinations, or some other loss of contact with reality. Her team analyzed multiple scientific findings and determined that psychiatric diagnoses do not correlate to a person’s propensity or motive for violence. A 2009 analysis of nearly 20,000 individuals concluded that increased risk of violence was associated with

drug and alcohol problems, regardless of whether the person had schizophrenia. Two similar analyses on bipolar patients showed, along similar lines, that the risk of violent crime is only fractionally increased by the illness, while it goes up substantially among those who are abuse drugs and alcohol. In other words, it’s likely that some of the people in your local bar are at greater risk of committing murder than your average person with mental illness. While mental illness alone is not a predictor of violence, mental illness combined with substance abuse or dependence does increase the risk. However, the combination of mental illness and substance abuse-called co-morbidityonly ranked ninth on the 2009 study’s list of the top ten predictors of future violence. The ten predictors were, in order from most likely to least likely were: age (young people were more likely to commit violent acts); history of violence; gender (males commit violence more than females); history of juvenile detention; divorce or separation in the past year; history of physical abuse; parental criminal history; unemployment in the past year; mental illness with substance abuse;

and victimization in the past year. Dr. Sally C. Johnson, coauthor of the study, said, “The findings challenge the perception that some people have, and which you often see reflected in media coverage, that mental illness alone makes someone more dangerous. Our study shows that this perception is just not correct.” Researchers have evaluated data on nearly 35,000 people, who were part of the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions, conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Philip Muskin, MD, professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University in New York, says that these test results confirm some other studies with similar results. He states, “Having a severe mental illness alone doesn’t predict [violent behaviors].” Paul Appelbaum, MD, former president of the American Psychiatric Association and a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, says, “There is no question that the overall contribution of people with serious mental illness to violence in our society as a whole is quite small.”

disorder hate the extremes of our illness, but we don’t want to become emotionless. Persons with major depression, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and other disorders also hate the lack of control over their illnesses. Many individuals with mental disorders complain that their medications make them feel dull, or “thick” (this is why so many people stop taking their medications). In Roget’s Thesaurus, some synonyms given for balance are: equilibrium, symmetry, proportion, and evenness. Webster’s 7th New Collegiate Dictionary offers these definitions for the noun balance: “an aesthetically pleasing integration of elements: harmony; physical equilibrium; mental and emotional steadiness;” and for the transitive verb balance: “fluctuate, waver.” I particularly like the irony of those definitions.

The goal of balance seems to me more desirable than normalcy. Balance allows me to “fluctuate” and “waver” from day to day, without the feeling that I have totally lost “equilibrium,” that I am not normal. People who live and deal with persons with mental health issues also feel that they are “out of whack,” unable to cope from day to day with their loved one or friend. This is the reason that the new name for our support group is Living in Balance (LIB). Even the abbreviation implies the freedom we can all gain by finding balance between our illness, or our loved one’s illness, and our daily lives. By the way, my dictionary defines normal as “not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle: regular; average.” I’d rather work toward “equilibrium” and “harmony” than “average.”

How to help children after a disaster The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training program offers the following tips on how to talk to children in the wake of disaster. Provide children with opportunities to talk about what they are seeing on television and to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to admit that you can’t answer all their questions. Answer questions at a level the child can understand. Provide ongoing opportunities for children to talk. They will probably have more questions as time goes on. Use this as an opportunity to establish a family emergency plan. Feeling that there is something you can do may be very comforting to both children and adults. Allow children to discuss other fears and concerns about unrelated issues. This is a good opportunity to explore these issues also. Monitor children’s TV viewing. Some parents may wish to limit their child’s exposure to graphic or troubling scenes. To the extent possible, watch reports of the disaster with children. It is at these times that questions might arise. Help children understand that there are no bad emotions and that a wide range of reactions is normal.

Encourage children to express their feelings to adults (including parents and teachers) who can help them understand their sometimes strong and troubling emotions. In addition to the tragic things they see, parents and caregivers should help children identify good things, such as heroic actions, families who are grateful for being reunited, and the assistance offered by people throughout the country and the world. For children closer to the disaster scene, more active interventions may be required. Some children will be frustrated that they cannot help directly in the rescue work. Often they will hold themselves responsible. To help children recover emotionally from disasters, the family as a unit might consider counseling. Disasters often reawaken a child’s fear of loss of parents (frequently their greatest fear) at a time when parents may be preoccupied with their own practical and emotional difficulties. Families may choose to permit temporary regressive behavior, such as thumb-sucking and wanting to sleep with parents. Several arrangements may help children separate gradually after the agreed-upon time limit: spending extra time with parents immediately before bedtime, leaving the child’s bedroom door slightly ajar, and using a nightlight.


Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition to hold cessation class starting June 5

Going down the rabbit hole Joyce Burland, director of the Education, Training and Peer Support Center at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), says that when people have a heart attack, the family knows what to do-call 911, call the doctor-but that when someone starts showing signs of a mental illness, like erratic or self-injurious behavior, family members can feel at a loss and scared. Burland, who is also a clinical psychologist and mother of an adult daughter with schizophrenia, says that psychological professionals call this “going down the rabbit hole.” Families faced with bizarre behavior or emotions, or resistance to diagnosis and treatment, feel stigmatized by the reality of mental disease, but Burland says that this is a common problem in “a society that doesn’t understand mental illnesses are biologically based disorders, just like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases.” Burland says that families are often not familiar with symptoms of mental illnesses; they may not be aware that anything is abnormal or inappropriate. The person with mental health issues may not under-

stand that this is a sickness which can be treated with medications and therapies, just like diabetes or heart disease. Burland adds that it is difficult or impossible under most states’ laws to have an adult hospitalized, so families have to wait for a crisis, which in most states means “they have become so gravely disabled that their life is in danger.” Burland adds, “Then you have to call the police or you have to call the crisis team at the hospital to come into your house and take your family member to the hospital. And ... it’s one of the most traumatic events that will ever happen to you.” “Families say this is the only illness in the world where you don’t get a covered dish,” Burland states. “People don’t call or inquire. The cultural understanding ... is either that it’s their fault for getting ill, or it’s the fault of their family.” It is vitally important to have compassion for the person with a mental illness, as well as for his or her family members. It is crucial that society conquer the stigma attached to mental illness. Each one of us can and should help.

The Wabash County Tobacco Free Coalition is an agency that works towards improvement of the health of Hoosiers in Wabash County by decreasing the disease and economic burden that tobacco use can place on Wabash County residents. This is done through preventing and reducing the use of all tobacco products through cessation and youth prevention programs. The coalition also works at limiting the exposure of tobacco smoke through education about the dangers of secondhand smoke and by diminishing its exposure to the public. The coalition also tries to change the cultural perception and social acceptability of tobacco use in Wabash County. According to the County data, 26% of Wabash County’s population use tobacco. Tobacco spending per household in Wabash County is $359.00 - higher than the state average by $6 per household. The Coalition office is housed with Mental Health America of Wabash County, 41 W. Canal Street, Wabash. You can receive more information about the work of the Coalition and how it can help you by coming to the office or calling 260-2742920. A 5-week cessation class starts June 5 at 6 p.m. at the YMCA. This class provides exercise, diet, and stress release ideas along with the cessation instruction. Go to the Y to register. If you have any questions about the class, call Dan at 260-274-2920.

The Pet Connection I am a dyed-in-the-wool cat lover. I have had as many as sixteen cats and as few as one, and they have all been “my babies.” Many people are loving pet-owners with cats, dogs, birds, fish, and other animals. People have a deep and complex relationship with animals, which elicit a wide range of emotional responses by their very presence and interactions with human beings. Since the early 1980s, there has been research done to determine the therapeutic effect of interacting with animals. According to Sandra B. Barker, Ph.D., writing in the journal Psychiatric Times in February 1999, “animalassisted therapy (AAT) can be traced back to the 18th century when hippotherapy, or therapeutic horseback riding, was used as a medical intervention” to improve “postural control, joint disturbance, coordination and basic balance.” Today hippotherapy can increase feelings of power and self-worth, as well as promoting self-confidence and social competence, in patients who are wheelchairdependent. Horses are helping troubled teenagers better control their behavior, according to the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association. The kids gain selfesteem from working with such a large animal, but they also learn to regulate their emotions so they don’t “spook” the horse. Animals are involved in human therapy in innovative and nontraditional ways. “Most people think of nursing homes, and people going in to cheer up the elderly,” said Bill Kueser, vice president of marketing for the Delta Society, a nonprofit group that promotes animal-assisted therapy (AAT). “It’s really become much more than that.” Animals have become part of many types of psychotherapy, physical therapy and crisis response, according to Kueser. And it’s not simply using a therapy dog to calm or soothe a person, either, he said. Larger animals also are being used in therapy. People undergoing physical therapy to regain motor skills essential to living also are receiving help from animals. “Instead of moving pegs around on a peg board, the patient might be asked to buckle or unbuckle a leash, or brush an animal,” Kueser said. AAT has been tested for people with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, autism, dissociative disorders, attentiondeficit/hyperactive disorders and conduct disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and even post-traumatic stress disorder. Among children and the elderly results have been particularly promising in increasing empathy, self-esteem and self-concept. Pet owners have consistently fewer stress-related illnesses.

And the term “animal” is particularly broad in AAT: cats and dogs, of course, but these results include horses, birds, fish, and rehabilitated dolphins and sea turtle. Researchers studied verbal and nonverbal responses of children with mental disabilities and found “significant improvements in . . .cognitive responses” as well as greater and higher levels of responses. Cats and parrots, for instance, are being incorporated into therapy for people who tend to act out because of aggression or impulse control issues. “The animal will stay near that person until the person starts upsetting the animal, and then they’ll move away,” he said. “The doctor then can point out the effect the patient’s behavior had on the animal. They seem to be able to work through aggression issues more effectively that way.” One recent study found therapy dogs effective in easing the anxiety of people waiting to have an MRI — and their help didn’t involve the side effects that often accompany the use of anti-anxiety medication. “We found that people who had spent time with a therapy dog were calmer during the test than those who hadn’t,” said Dr. Richard Ruchman, chairman of radiology at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, N.J. Studies have been made on people with a wide range of conditions, not just mental illness. Pet owners show marked decreases in cholesterol and triglycerides as well as systolic blood pressure. Interaction with dogs also steadies rapid breathing, reduces levels of stress hormones and increases levels of calming hormones. The survival rates of pet owners after myocardial infarction is greater than for non-pet owners; with controls for exercise, researchers in 1993 found a significantly higher survival rate at one year post-MI for pet owners. Even minor health problems are less common in those with pets. Therapy dogs also are being incorporated into crisis relief efforts, said Amy Rideout, director and president of HOPE Animal-Assisted Crisis Response, a group that makes therapy dogs available at crisis scenes. HOPE was formed shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when social workers found that therapy dogs were helpful in getting tough Ground Zero crisis responders to open up about the toll their grisly work had been

taking on their psyches, Rideout said. “They don’t want to show stress. They want to find their buddies,” Rideout said of the 9/11 responders. “Many knew something was wrong, but they didn’t want to talk to a mental health professional about it.” But when a therapy dog accompanied the therapist, the crisis responders tended to open up more frequently. “The dogs made a bridge between the mental health professional and the person,” she explained. Rideout thinks part of this has to do with the adaptability and portability of dogs. Dogs are easy to introduce into a wide variety of settings. Other non-traditional settings also have been utilizing animals to help keep people calm. Courtrooms are one example. “There are more and more animals allowed in court,” Kueser said. “Somebody might be very upset about having to get up and testify, particularly if the person who victimized them is there. Animals have been shown to help calm people down in that setting.” Though a wide variety of animals are utilized in therapy work, dogs are still the “go to” animal. Dogs make up 95 percent of the pet partner teams registered with the Delta Society, Kueser said. Animals provide unconditional love and acceptance, and this is important for people with mental diseases as well as other health problems. As someone with a mental illness, I can say that sometimes in the past the only thing I have accomplished in a day is to feed and water my cats. But having them depend on me forced me to function and thus assisted in my efforts to attain balance. Psychologists are finding out what pet owners have known for a long time: our pets are good for us!

Labeling people with mental illness According to experts and people with mental illnesses stigma is still strong in our culture. People who are mentally ill are considered “nutty,” are the butt of jokes; and behind the laughter, there is still a note of fear: we don’t want to meet a “crazy person” or have him or her as a member of our family. Stanton Peele, PhD, JD, wrote an article for Psychology Today magazine which presented an interesting addition to the discussion regarding stigma in today’s society. He notes that in some cases, one is encouraged to use labels, and in other situations it is considered bad form - not PC. For instance, it is unkind for people refer to “retarded” people or “cripples;” they are more appropriately called people with special needs. We want to appreciate everyone as a whole person. But in 12-step programs and many support groups people are asked to identify themselves by their disease. Peele says that in these situations “there is no room for people to say, ‘I consider myself a full-fledged, normal human being who has difficulties with alcohol (shopping, social interactions, etc.).’” Peele points out that in the case of a mental illness, such as bipolar disorder or ADHD, a person can be labeled for the rest of his or her life. While this may help a person obtain medical care and support, it is often socially and personally stigmatizing. Peele suggests that society tacitly approves this stigma. He says that in films showing persons with “OCD, bipolar disorder, depression, alcoholism, you can predict the scenes where people’s infirmities will become impossible to ignore - life threatening - and if they violate the treatment precepts (e.g., if an alcoholic ever drinks again, a person with some disorder refuses their medication) they must go down!” Peele asks how long our society can maintain this double standard. Will we continue to define some people by their illnesses while we disregard the frailties of others as we aid them in becoming accepted? It is important that we learn to accept all people for who they are and not see them as their particular illness. The word stigma (plural stigmata) comes from the Greek and means “a mark of disgrace or infamy, a stain or reproach, as on one’s reputation,” according to Dictionary.com. During the Middle Ages and later, mental illness was commonly believed to be due to moral weakness, and people with mental illness were treated as criminals or even killed. A study in the Spring 2008 issue of the Journal of Counseling and Development reported that even in the early 1970s, some people still believed that “medical illnesses were being discovered, whereas psychiatric illnesses were being invented.” Even today, many people believe that mental illness is somehow a

Summertime and medications

Summer is nearly here, and we’re all planning picnics, swimming, camping and grilling out. However, those of us who take psychotropic medications need to be careful in the sunny summer months to guard against sunburn and heatstroke. Sunburn is on our minds these days, and some psychotropic meds can cause a photosensitivity reaction that increases your sunburn risk. In addition to always wearing sunscreen when you are out in the sun - SPF 30 is strongly recommended - wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. If you take medications such as Xanax, Elavil, Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, Remeron, Effexor, Lamictal, or Depakote you should be careful with sun exposure. Heatstroke, often called heat exhaustion, occurs when the body’s temperature-regulating ability is compromised. The victim can’t sweat and is therefore unable to cool himself. Internal body temperatures can rise to dangerous levels and can even cause brain damage and death. It usually occurs when the outside temperature is unusually high. If you take medications such as Risperdal, Seroquel, Geodon, Zyprexa, Elavil, Sinequan, or Tofranil, you could be at greater risk for heatstroke. Also, beware of antihistamines such as Benadryl, Chlor-Trimeton, and Sinutab Sinus Allergy, which are usually taken by allergy sufferers. Warning signs of heatstroke include headache, nausea and weakness, as well as dizziness and rapid breathing. To help prevent heatstroke, drink plenty of extra fluids such as water, juice, and Gatorade, or caffeine-free soda. Avoid strenuous exercise, and don’t drink alcoholic beverages or drinks such as cola and coffee that contain caffeine. For a more complete list of medications which may affect your tolerance to sunburn and heatstroke, check with your doctor or pharmacist. Living in Balance support group will host a presentation by Theresa Lawyer, RN and Mary Kay Consultant, about safe summer skin care, on June 19, at 7 p.m., at the Bowen Center Community Room, 255 N. Miami St., Wabash. She will discuss ways to minimize sunburn risk and maintain healthy skin.

Confidentiality vital in group meetings Confidentiality is our watchword in the Living in Balance support group. We all want to feel comfortable when we talk at meetings. Confidentiality means that you should not repeat anything, which is said during our meetings. You can’t tell your spouse that John was at the meeting and talked about his depression, or tell your sister that Carol said she had an anxiety attack at work. You can’t even say that “a person talked about depression of anxiety.” You can say, “People in the group were understanding about my mental illness issues,” or “We had a presentation about dealing with relationship problems.” You can even say, “I’m not as crazy as I thought,” but you can’t say, “I’m not as crazy as John!” Living in Balance is all about dealing with mental illness, as it affects us or our loved ones, with humor, empathy, and sincerity. It is very important that each of us feels safe in speaking our minds. By coming to group, you are sharing with others some pretty intimate thoughts and feelings, and they must remain in the setting of the meetings. Confidentiality means trusting each of us to protect each other’s privacy.
