“LOL�-God

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy...�-Psalm 16:11 When you hear the name “Jesus�, what picture do you think of ? Google “images of Jesus�go ahead, I’ll wait...

Now, let me guess: there were probably more images of a gloomy, menacing man with a stern face than of a grinning, laughing, cheerful person enjoying life, right?

My mind immediately goes to the picture that hung in our family’s living room when I was a kid of a very serious Jesus who looked like his face

would crack if he smiled.

Two questions this week: Why? and What if ? Why are the most common images of Jesus (the very one who set the example for us in living a joy-filled life) so intimidating? And what if we were to change the image in our mind to a picture of Christ laughing? The Bible teaches us that Jesus experienced life while on this earth - the good and the bad, sorrow and laughter, loneliness and friendship.

When your friends picture your face what do you want them to see?

Do you think Jesus feels the same about our image of him?

The Board concludes by saying, “We

and Gordon Homes, a financial planner who specializes in dependents with special needs, will gather at Wabash Middle

School, 150 Colerain St., Wabash, to provide resources and insight for parents of children with special needs.

Parents of children with special needs encouraged to attend Dec. 6 event DSmith @thepaperofwabash.com

On Dec. 6, local support agencies for special needs individuals

This event is geared toward parents of children that will soon be transitioning to adult programs, but Joyce Lee, WabashMiami Area Program director, stresses that parents cannot begin planning too early.

“Even parents of elementary age students with disabilities should attends,” Lee said. “You just can’t start early enough.”

At 6 p.m., parents will have opportunities to speak with five support agencies, V o c a t i o n a l Rehabilitation, Bureau of Developmental Disabilities, Carey Services, Arc of Wabash County and Pathfinders.

Vo c a t i o n a l Rehabilitation performs services such as evaluations and they provide assistance for young adults to pursue education, job training or job coaching. The Bureau of Developmental Disabilities is similar, but geared toward more severely disabled individuals.

Carey Services, Arc and Pathfinders are

all programs that help disabled individuals remain productive through workshops, volunteer work and other day programs.

“Once the kids leave high school they need to do something productive in their day and parents are typically working,” Lee explained.

During the time from 6 to 6:30 p.m., parents will have the opportunity to speak with these agencies, collect information and meet people.

“We’re hoping that we can reach people to come and get this information because typically they would have to go from here to there to get information and we’re bringing it all together in one night,” Lee said.

Also during that half-hour, parents will have the opportunity to purchase gifts created by the We Can class at Heartland Career Center. This is a workshop-style class for disabled students in which they create gifts throughout the year. Near Christmas time, their products

are taken into our local elementary schools, and the students there are given a chance to purchase Christmas gifts.

Revenue from the sales is used to sustain the We Can program.

“We’re featuring that here because we’re going to have a lot of parents of kid with disabilities, some of whom have participated in this program and have made the products that we’re going to be displaying and selling,” Lee said. “There are so many things that these kids can do – the products they can make – it is unbelievable. They really have a lot of skills.”

At 6:30 p.m., parents will move to the library to listen to the guest speaker.

“Gorodn Homes is a financial planner out of Indianapolis who does this all over the state,” Lee explained.

“He has a particular interest in financial planning for parents of children with disabilities because he has a child with a disability himself, so he

has walked himself through the process.”

Homes will address issues such as government benefit eligibility, guardianship and conservatorship/guar dian ad litem and financial security and funding options.

“Parents with kids with disabilities have to work through agencies to get support, and he knows the inroads – who you meet with and when you meet with them,” Lee said.

This program was presented two years ago with a positive turnout and results.

The presentation will last approximately 45 minutes with time for questions at the end.

Parents are encouraged to attend this educational event at Wabash Middle School on Dec. 6, beginning at 6 p.m. with the guest speaker’s presentation at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome and childcare will be provided.

Refreshments will be provided by the culinary arts class of Heartland Career Center.

from households in the community. This year, students will deliver plastic bags to North Manchester households during the entire week and will collect them on the weekend, Nov. 19-20.

Cereals, peanut butter, spaghetti, fruit, soap and detergents are high on the need list.

Indiana celebrates three-year improvement in preterm birth rate March of Dimes recently announced a three-year improvement in Indiana’s grade on the annual premature birth report card to a “C” grade for 2011, which is up from a “D” in 2010 and 2009, and an “F” in 2008.

“This is good progress,” says March of Dimes Indiana State Director Tanya Hand. “It shows that March of Dimes public health campaigns, programs funded at our partners like Marion County Public Health Department, and volunteer outreach is working.

“Smoking is linked to both premature birth and low birth

weight in babies.

Scheduling non-medically necessary inductions and Csections also puts a baby’s life and health at risk.

“We are working to help babies by funding smoking cessation programs for women, implementing public health education campaigns encouraging every woman to give her baby 39 weeks and working with health care professionals to help families have healthy babies. Together we are making strides in the fight for stronger, healthier babies.”

Since 2006, Indiana’s preterm birth rate has dropped to 11.9 per-

cent from its high of 13.2 percent. Also dropping was the rate of women smoking to 23.3 percent from 26.6 percent last year. The only backward motion was in the number of women uninsured in Indiana, up from 2010 to 19.3 percent in 2011.

“Our state’s preterm birth rate has improved this year. We’re proud of this achievement and what we accomplished by working together with our partners for stronger, healthier babies,” says Minjoo Morlan, state director of program services and public affairs for March of Dimes.

“We are determined to con-

tinue to find and implement solutions to improve the health of babies, such as improving access to health care coverage, helping women quit smoking, and preventing unnecessary early csections and inductions, so more babies can get a healthy start in life.”

The United States received a “C” on the March of Dimes Report Card. Grades are based on comparing the state’s and the nation’s 2009 preliminary preterm birth rates with the new March of Dimes 2020 goal of 9.6 percent of all live births.

The U.S. preterm birth rate is 12.2 percent down nearly 5 percent

from the peak of 12.8 percent in 2006.

The Report Card information for the U.S. and states is available online at: marchofdimes.com/ prematurity.

Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks completed gestation, is a serious health problem that costs the United States more than $26 billion annually, according to the Institute of Medicine. It is the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and others. Even

babies born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and illness than full-term infants. At least 39 weeks of pregnancy are critical to a baby’s health because many important organs, including the brain and lungs, are not completely developed until then.

The March of Dimes says its 2020 preterm birth goal can be achieved by a combination of activities: giving all women of childbearing age access to health care coverage, fully implementing proven interventions to reduce the risk of an early birth, such as not smoking dur-

ing pregnancy, getting preconception and early prenatal care, progesterone treatments for women who are medically eligible, avoiding multiples from fertility treatments, avoiding medically unnecessary c-sections and inductions before 39 weeks of pregnancy, and by funding new research on prevention of preterm birth.

Nov. 17 is World P r e m a t u r i t y Awareness Day with activities planned across Indiana, the nation and the world. For more information go to marchofdimes.com.

Hospice care helps patients and families focus on living life to its fullest. This is the message that SouthernCare Hospice is sharing with the community during National Hospice and Palliative Care Month.

“November is a valuable time to raise awareness throughout our community about care at the end of life,” said Diane Northern, community relations specialists. “Buy the time a family might need us doesn’t follow a calendar or occur only during the season, so our message must make an impression that

stays with people all year long.”

Coping with a serious or life-limiting illness is not easy. In fact, it might be the hardest work you’ll ever do. Working with doctors and hospitals, navigating the maze of care needs, figuring out insurance coverage, all in addition to taking care of your family can be overwhelming. SouthernCare wants the community to know that there is help.

Hospice and palliative care providers take the time to talk with you and help you understand your illness and what care options might be available.

They make your wishes a priority and make sure you get the care you want and deserve.

“We’re working hard all year round

to make sure people know that support, comfort and respect are available at a time when hope seems out of reach,” Northern said. “Yet during November, we ramp up our efforts to raise awareness of the high-quality care that’s available during one of life’s most challenging times.”

Hospice care provides expert pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support and spiritual care to patients and families when a cure is not possible. All the necessary medicines and equipment needed to keep a patient comfortable are brought right to the home, which is where most Americans would like to be if at all possible.

Hospice makes this happen.

“It’s about quality of life. With the help of hospice, patients and families can focus on living as fully as possible in spite of illness,” Northern said.

“There’s an inaccurate perception among the American public that hospice means you’ve given up,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.

“Those of us who have worked in the field have seen firsthand how hospice and palliative care can improve the quality of life. And there’s a growing body of research showing that hospice and palliative care may prolong the lives of some people who receive care.”

SouthernCare has

been providing hospice services to the Wabash community and surrounding areas since 2000.

Souther nCare’s c o m m i t m e n t extends beyond their patients – it includes the families, physicians and caregivers of their patients. They recognize that these individuals face many challenges and stresses. Their goal is to be the soothing light that helps ease these struggles and assists in making the end-of-life experience as positive as it can be.

SouthernCare is also a proud member of the We Honor Veterans initiative.
