Insect-borne disease kills local deer by Eric Stearley In late September, Scott Poole took some time out of his Sunday afternoon to look over a property that he has often hunted in the past. An avid hunter for the last 30 years, Poole inspected the property just over a week before the opening of bow hunting season, which began Oct. 1. As he approached a creek, he found a deer lying motionless, its body half in the water, half out. Further down the creek, he saw another dead deer laying in the water, and then a third, on the bank of the creek. Poole says he thought this was strange, but he didn’t think much about it until he found a fourth deer that same week on his own property, less than a mile from where he found the others. “Anytime I’ve ever found a dead deer, I inspect it and there’s always a bullet hole or it was a car wreck,” said Poole. These deer were different. Poole explained that they looked perfectly healthy. They didn’t appear to be sick. There were no gunshot wounds or signs of trauma. The only thing he noticed was a blue tongue sticking out of the deer’s mouths. The disease that turned their tongues blue could be more deadly to white-tailed deer than hunters’ rounds and driver’s cars combined. “EHD is the most severe disease, from a deer’s perspective, that has the ability to affect deer numbers immediately,” said Indiana DNR Deer Research Biologist Chad Stewart. EHD stands for Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease, and it’s a deadly viral disease that can kill a healthy deer very quickly. Symptoms are similar to Blue Tongue Virus, though BTV affects sheep and cows more often than deer and hasn’t been confirmed in Indiana deer populations. Small flies called culicoides spread the virus. Also known as midges or “no-see-ums,” these little biting insects pass the virus to the deer on which they feed. The disease was first discovered in 1955 in New Jersey and Michigan, but has likely been around since the late 1800s, according to the DNR. Symptoms typically develop within seven days of infection and include extensive hemorrhages, loss of appetite, loss of the fear of humans, growing progressively weaker, excessive salivation, rapid pulse and respiration, ulcers on the tongue, or an eroded dental pad. Infected deer develop a fever, causing them to seek water to cool off. This is often where they die. Blood clots in the lungs result in a lack of oxygen in the blood. This causes the tongue to turn blue. Within 36 hours of symptom onset, the deer enter a shock-like state, become unconscious, and die.
Treating all ages.
THE BODY OF A DEAD DEER lies at the edge of a pond on Scott Poole’s property Sept. 27. This deer died earlier that day and had a blue tongue, characteristic of deer who die from EHD. (photo provided) “Most of the time when you find them near the water, it’s EHD,” said Stewart. EHD has been confirmed in several counties across the state. The largest outbreaks have been in the southern counties, but unconfirmed reports have come in from Wabash, Miami, Fulton, and Huntington counties. Part of the difficulty in confirming EHD is that a sample must be taken within 24 hours of a deer’s death, which is hard to accomplish when dealing with wild animals. The disease has been confirmed in a captive population of deer in nearby Kosciusko County. The deer-killing malady has never been confirmed in Wabash County by lab testing, but Stewart said that last year, it was confirmed by hoof inspections. The mortality rate is high, but when a deer does survive EHD, they often have sloughed hooves. This interruption in the growth of the hoof can cause it to fall off completely. By inspecting hooves, the DNR can determine what areas were hit by EHD after the fact.
Dr. Stephen Pilgrim, veterinarian and owner of Countryside Veterinary Hospital, has worked with captive deer affected by the disease. He noted that from his experience, the disease seems to prefer bucks to does, with more males of the species dying. Dr. Pilgrim stressed that deer that survive EHD often have a shorter lifespan due to the sloughed hooves, especially where they fall off completely. This limits mobility. “They may not grow back,” said Pilgrim. “Long-term, they may starve to death or be taken by predators.” In previous years, Dr. Pilgrim has confirmed the disease in pen-raised herds in Kosciusko and Miami counties through lab-tested samples. Last year in Nappanee, one deer raiser lost 90 percent of his herd to EHD. While the disease can be devastating to localized populations, it is very sporadic in nature and may leave a nearby group unaffected. Pilgrim says this allows wild deer population numbers to bounce back.
Northfield High School vice principal in serious auto accident Max VanCleave, Northfield Jr./Sr. High School vice principal, was in an car accident on Wednesday, Oct. 2. The accident took place while VanCleave was on his way to work early in the morning on I-69 in Grant County. VanCleave is at Lutheran Hospital in the ICU. The Paper was informed by Northfield Principal Mike Keffaber that he had surgery on his hip Thursday, Oct. 3, surgery on his chest cavity Friday, Oct. 4., and that VanCleave was put in a semi-comatose state while undergoing the surgeries. Keffaber was at the hospital most of Wednesday. According to an email sent to all MSD staff, VanCleave broke 18 ribs, his sternum, his femur, has a collapsed lung, a lacerated spleen and a lacerated liver. He has a fractured hip and will likely need hip replacement in the future, according to an email sent out by VanCleave’s brother, Doug. As of Friday morning, doctors were looking into putting a plate in his chest to connect his ribs due to the extent of the damage. “It’s going to be a long road to recovery,” Keffaber told The Paper during a phone interview. VanCleave was awake and alert at the hospital after the accident. In the email, his brother told friends and coworkers that Max will likely be in the hospital for at least two weeks. After his surgeries are finished and he is released from the hospital, he will likely be in a wheelchair for at least six weeks. “We have been told several times he is lucky to be alive,” added Doug.
“The only thing you can predict with EHD is when it will occur,” said Stewart. “You have no idea where it’s going to pop up or how intense it’s going to be.” EHD outbreaks typically occur in late summer and fall. In 2007, there was a particularly bad outbreak, with the disease reported in 59 counties. Pike county in southern Indiana saw a 40 percent drop off in antler harvest as a result. The story was the same in 2012. “Last year was the worst outbreak probably in the history of the state,” said Stewart. “Guys were finding a dozen dead deer along a stream bank.” Stewart believes this was largely due to a new strain of the virus. EHD V-1 and V-2 have been in the state for years. According the Stewart, these are considered “native” strains. Last year, EHD V-6 a “more exotic” strain was confirmed in (continued on page 5)

in the towns of Roann and Lagro. In Roann, automatic doors, handicap accessible parking places and tapered sidewalks will be added to the town hall. In Lagro, the town hall will be updated with a ramp to the building, wider automatic doors with new door handles and push bars for emergency exits, steel grab bars and Americans with Disabilities Act signs to show exits, restrooms and handicap accessible doors. “I was very pleased to apply for this grant money for
Wabash County that will benefit the Lagro and Roann communities. Town Clerk Kristie Bone from Lagro and Town Clerk Bob Ferguson from Roann were very helpful in getting the quotes and necessary paperwork together that enabled me to apply for the HAVA grant. When I received the email from the HAVA Administrator on Sept. 11 notifying me that our application had been approved, I immediately phoned both Kristie Bone and Bob Ferguson and I’m not sure who
was more excited, them or me! Lagro and Roann will be making these improvements in the next few months as we prepare for the upcoming elections in May 2014. I am told that Wabash County can expect to receive the money from the State about midOctober. Sometimes citizens don’t always see what goes on behind the scenes in their county clerk’s office or in their local town clerk’s office, so I wanted to share this good news as one of the things we are doing to improve our community,” said Elaine Martin, County Clerk. Congress passed HAVA in response to issues raised in various parts of the country during the 2000 Presidential Election. The HAVA funding Wabash County is receiving is a Health and Human Services grant. It was established to help counties upgrade polling locations to meet handicap accessibility standards. The counties may use this funding to make upgrades such as adding a wheelchair ramp, automaticdoor openers and parking pads. Grant applications are submitted to the Indiana Secretary of State’s Election Division. While the funds awarded are federal dollars, the Secretary of State’s office is responsible for approving grant applications and administering the reimbursement funds.

Health care insurance customers need to be aware of numerous scams that have been reported throughout the country as the implementation of the Affordable Care Act approaches, according to Stephen W. R o b e r t s o n , C o m m i s s i o n e r, Indiana Department of Insurance. The scammers are taking advantage of the confusion about the health care reform in to obtain a customer’s Social Security, credit card and bank account numbers throughout a phone solicitation or a bogus website. R o b e r t s o n explained that Indiana law for years has required insurance brokers and agents to be licensed by the state’s Department of Insurance. A similar training and licensing requirement was established by the Legislature for individuals called “Navigators” (created by the Affordable Care Act) who may legally assist consumers buying insurance through the
Federal Insurance Marketplace. Consumers should ask to see the license/certification of the insurance salesperson or advisor. He also identified some of the most common situations reported by insurance departments through country. The salesperson says a premium offer is only good for a limited time – the Federal Marketplace open enrollment period is from Oct. 1 to March 31, 2014. The salesperson says that you will go to jail for not having health insurance – the Affordable Care Act does require all Americans to have insurance, but there are only financial penalties for not having health insurance. You receive an unsolicited phone call or email from someone trying to sell you health insurance – representatives of the Federal Insurance Marketplace will not contact individuals to sell insurance. At no time should you give your personal or financial information to an unknown phone solicitor. To report any issues about an insurance agent or broker,
consumers can call the Indiana Department of Insurance at 1-800-622-

the Sweat Factory has outgrown its current location in the former Radio Shack on North Cass Street. Having just opened in April 2013, business partners Shelly Ruch and Jill Vigar are pleased with the membership. Their space will double when they move down the road into the Shopper’s Mart on Cass Street on Oct. 15. “We’ve been fortunate and blessed with a good membership so far. We outgrew that place and that’s nice,” Ruch told The Paper. Ruch is certified with the American College of Sports Medicine, and has been in the group fitness business for 20 years. “My education and certification have all led me to this point. I worked at the YMCA taking care of group fitness as the coordinator, and before that, I worked at Kokomo Sports Center,” Ruch said. After realizing her growth potential at the YMCA had come to a stop, Ruch decided to step out and build her own group exercise business. “After my sickness

(Ruch defeated breast cancer in 2010), I was thinking ‘where do I see myself in six months or a year.’ I decided I couldn’t stay at the YMCA anymore, but I thought I wasn’t done helping people yet,” she said. Surviving cancer gave Ruch the push to start her own business, and it also gave her a new outlook on fitness and life. “I wish I was the weight I was from before I got sick, but that priority went out the window when I got sick. I realize there are more important things like my marriage, my family and my friends. Now, fitness is to keep me healthy so if I do get cancer again, I can fight it hard like I did the first time,” Ruch said. Ruch says her job is to motivate people, and she won’t take credit for the transformations people make. “When people come to me and want to lose weight or feel better,
then they’ve made the right step. I can’t take credit for that. I will give you the tools, the safety, and everything you need to do it, but I can’t pull you through that front door. I could post success stories, but it’s not my success to share,” she said. Ruch and Vigar strive to make their studio a place where people feel comfortable. “Our point is to make it so we can train the novice as well as the seasoned athlete – all levels of fitness,” Vigar told The Paper. Ruch continued saying, “That’s important because that’s the hardest thing to do, walk through the door. It’s intimidating.” Ruch says she helps people feel welcome by creating a family environment. “People come in and say, ‘It’s just nice. It’s like home. I feel safe here.’ And that’s what we want. We have a great group.
When someone is having a bad day we just surround her and say ‘how can we help?’” The Sweat Factory offers group exercise classes as well as personal training. There are five instructors; all are certified. Men, women, and people of all shapes and sizes are welcome. “My mantra has always been everyone has the right to exercise no matter their wellness status,” said Ruch. Ruch helps anyone who asks, even clients with extreme weight issues. “I have a medical director, Dr. Jay Levine. Any questions I have, I go to him. Everyone signs a waiver, and men and women above a certain age or those who have 30 pounds of extra body weight (or more), then I require a medical release. It’s for their safety, in case they have an underlying condition they may not know about,” she said.
Ruch works on the fitness end of the business, and Vigar works more on the financial end. Ruch, who calls herself a ‘spazz’, said she would be lost without Vigar. “If Jill weren’t here, I would be broke,” Ruch said. The pair also receives a lot of support from Ruch’s husband, Russell. “He never complains. He works all day doing construction and then comes here to help out,” Ruch said. The group has been working approximately 30 extra hours a week preparing to move into the new location. The Sweat Factory will be all moved in by Oct. 15. To find out about class schedules and information, check them out on Facebook by searching The Sweat Factory, call them at 260-377-8097, or stop by their current location at 1315 N. Cass Street.
Indiana Criminal Code Reform to toughen stance on felonies by William Hartley, Jr. During the 2013 legislative session, the General Assembly took positive steps in enacting the first comprehensive criminal code reform since 1977 in House Enrolled Act 1006. This was a significant step toward a better criminal justice system in Indiana. Included in the reforms are requirements that felons serve 75 percent of their sentences, and increases in penalties for some violent crimes. The legislature delayed the effective date of the new code to July 1, 2014 to allow time to encour-
age a review of the proposed law and proposal of positive changes to House Enrolled Act 1006. Prosecutors believe that the Indiana criminal code must serve and protect the citizens of Indiana. We support the positive changes in House Enrolled Act 1006, and the proposition that the legislature should fund rehabilitative services for those with substance addiction. As the Indiana Legislature continues to review the Indiana criminal code in the 2014 legislative session, HEA 1006 must protect Hoosiers. Prosecutors are advocating for additional

critical improvements to ensure safety and protection of Hoosiers. Some examples of improvements we are seeking follow. As written, House Enrolled Act 1006 dramatically reduced penalties for drug dealers and manufacturers. Prosecutors firmly believe that our communities must be protected from manufacturers and dealers of hard drugs such as meth, heroin and cocaine. With the seizure of over 1,700 meth labs in Indiana last year, and the sharp increase in heroin use and overdoses, we cannot stand for dramatic reductions in penalties for dealers of these hard drugs. Indiana needs a strong response to those who seek to destroy our communities through such activities. Additionally, HEA 1006 currently allows sentences for most crimes to be fully suspended. Prosecutors strongly believe that serious felons should not be eligible to receive a fully suspended sentence. A rapist, a child moles-
ter, a felon who committed an armed robbery—all of these offenders would be eligible for suspended sentences under HEA 1006. This is a drastic change from longstanding law, and must be corrected. Finally, prosecutors will be seeking stronger penalties for child pornographers, human traffickers and those who harm children. Some of the penalties for these crimes are the lowest felonies in the Indiana Criminal Code—the same as vote fraud, forgery and other non-violent crimes. We believe those who harm children should be treated much more severely. We appreciate the difficult task and hard work of the legislature thus far in reforming the Indiana criminal code, and we look forward to a productive dialogue with the General Assembly and all of those interested in seeking justice for victims in Indiana. Please join us as we work to serve and protect the citizens of Indiana.

ready in time to save the others. In addition to white-tailed deer, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope, EHD has been found in cattle, sheep, and dogs, though they rarely develop symptoms. The presence of EHD in livestock and deer has raised concerns about meat safety, but won’t likely be an issue. “Unlike West Nile, EHD is not spread to people,� said Pilgrim. “That’s the good thing.� The DNR confirms this. EHD can only be spread through insect bite, and even then, does not affect humans. They recommend normal precautions when harvesting deer, including proper cleaning and cooking. Even so, there is lingering apprehension about the safety of the meat. Stewart said that personally, he wouldn’t serve his family meat from an animal that may have been sick, whether the disease can affect humans or not. Poole, owner of a
local meat market, agrees. “I’m not going to eat venison this year,� he said. “There’s no way.� If there is an upside to this, it’s the cool nights that residents of northern Indiana are beginning to experience as the fall season continues. Midges cannot survive past the first frost, and since EHD is such a rapidly progressing disease, the last deer infected this year will be dead within a couple weeks of that frost. As soon as it gets cold enough, the deer are safe from E p i z o o t i c Hemorrhagic Disease until next year. Come the first of November, the DNR will once again set up hoof checkpoints. This will give them a clear confirmation of where EHD hit this year in Indiana, and how severe the outbreak was. For now, Wabash County remains in the “suspected� category when it comes to the 2013 EHD outbreak. For those who
have stumbled across the blue-tongued, healthy looking deer dead by the water’s edge, little confirmation is needed. Stewart and Poole urge anyone who finds a dead deer in or near water to report it. The deer hotline number is 812-3343795. “I would like for all hunters to step up to the plate,� Poole said
about reporting dead deer.

They can be seen there Monday – Thursday and Saturday 7 a.m. – 2 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. – 8 p.m., and Sunday 7 a.m. -3 p.m. As you can imagine they do not have a lot of time for hobbies but they both said they love festivals and events here in town. They are happy to see their daughter Gypsy following in their footsteps, she takes over the restaurant at 4 p.m. every day and turns it into a pizza place. Her hours are Sunday – Thursday 4 – 8 p.m. with Friday and Saturday hours being 4 – 9 p.m. I asked them what they like to do in their spare time and it seems Larry loves the Food Channel. According to Mary he always has ideas on new recipes for her to prepare. After spending much of her day in the restaurant Mary is less than enthused with Larry’s requests. If you are hungry or just want to spend
time with some wonderful folks, stop in and say “Hi” to Larry and Mary, they will always make you feel welcome. I AM REPORTING YOUR NEWS.

Amy Miller addressed the Board with information to do a planning grant for storm water expenses. $30,000 will be needed for the Town of LaFontaine. The Board decided to table this issue until 2014. A police report was given. The town marshal informed the board that Kendall and Rennaker streets are being patrolled more closely. Utility adjustments were distributed to Bard, Garrison, Smith and Coffelt. Adjustments were all approved as distributed. Twelve utility customers were disconnected due to nonpayment. All but one has now been paid and have been turned back on. Potholes have been filled on Wabash Avenue and Kendall Street. This is a problem area due to storm water drainage and cannot be fixed with a cold patch. Pavers will need to fix this area. Annual testing was completed.

Chair Affair co-chairs thank community for support Dear editor, The 2013 Chair Affair was a huge success! Congratulations to Miller’s Merry Manor on taking first place in the business division and Little Friends Daycare taking second place. In the individual category, first place went to Monica Sparling and Sherry Schaaf was awarded second place. The 2013 festival queen, Kaitlyn Vogel, chose the chair designed by Jennifer Dillon from Puckerbrush Studio as her Queen’s Pick. Special recognition
-----==Revival==------
was given to the Mark Guenin and Robert Mattern families for their continued support of the Chair Affair. They have donated, bid on and purchased chairs every year since the event began several years ago. Auctioneer Tony Stout was also recognized for donating his time and talent each year. The chair auction raised $940 and the Herb Fest committee voted to add an additional $60 so that each auction recipient received $500. The 2013 auction money was donated to the Karsyn Kares Kampaign and the Little Friend Daycare.
Karsyn Kares will place their money in an account that is used to help families in Wabash County that have a child with cancer and Little Friends will use their share for additional staff training so that they can better prepare the children for kindergarten. Thank you to everyone that designed and donated a chair this year. They were some of the best we have ever had. Thank you to all of those that came to the auction and bid on or bought a chair. A huge thank you goes out to Robert and Mary Hettmanspreger from AG Resolutions
for being our event sponsor. We are so grateful for your generous support. Thank you to Wabash True Value for again providing an awning in case of rain. Thank you to Tony and Chris Stout for handling our auction. A special thanks to the 2013 Festival Queen and her court for helping pass out ballots for voting and especially to Queen Kaitlyn for offering to dance to get the bids up higher. It worked and she did the Chicken Dance! Thanks to Main View Inn of North Manchester and Wabash Pizza Hut Wings Street for donating gift cards for
prizes. A special thank you to Mary Ann Mast for all of her time spent and for her generosity and to Diane Guenin for providing chairs to those that needed one to decorate. Thank you to Shelley Brubaker for helping again this year and to Curt Correll for providing his awning for shade. We are already making plans for the 2014 Chair Affair and we have a couple of surprises in the works for it. So start planning your chair design now and be ready for an exciting event next year.

Compass Rose Academy marks Depression Awareness Month Early identification and intervention is key to depression recovery in troubled youth October is National Depression Awareness Month, an observance created to educate people about the various signs and symptoms of depression. Depression is an illness that can affect every part of a young person’s life and that of his or her family. As many as one in eight adolescents and one in 33 children have depression. But unfortunately, two-thirds of people with depression fail to seek treatment. Depression can be especially damaging in the teen years, when it can disrupt relationships among family members and friends, hurt school performance, and lead to general health problems through its effects on eating, sleeping, and exercise explained Mike Haarer, licensed mental health counselor and director of Compass Rose Academy. Compass Rose is a residential treatment center for troubled teen girls, offering a 9- to 12-month program for 14- to 17year-old junior high and high school students, many of them diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder or related conditions, such as Bipolar Disorder or General Anxiety Disorder. “It’s critical for parents to know the warning signs of
depression – and to take action if they notice those behaviors in their own teen,” stressed Haarer. Signs and symptoms of depression in teens might i n c l u d e : -Irritability or anger -Continuous feelings of sadness and hopelessness -Social withdrawal -Increased sensitivity to rejection -Changes in appetite – either increased or decreased -Changes in sleep – sleeplessness or excessive sleep -Vocal outbursts or crying -Difficulty concentrating -Fatigue and low energy -Physical complaints (such as stomachaches, headaches) that don’t respond to treatment -Reduced ability to function during events and activities at home or with friends, in school, extracurricular activities, and in other hobbies or interests -Feelings of worthlessness or guilt -Impaired thinking or concentration -Thoughts of death or suicide F o r t u n a t e l y, depression in youth is treatable because it is a real illness with neurobiological roots. A comprehensive and personalized program of care, like those offered at Compass Rose Academy, may include psychotherapy or a combination of psychotherapy and medication. It
may also include family therapy or work with the child’s school as well as interacting with peer support and self-help groups. “Untreated depression has potentially great risks, including the risk, in serious cases, of suicide,” explained H a a r e r . “Depression’s symptoms interfere with academic learning, peer relationships, and family interactions, and can even derail normal development. It’s not a ‘let’s wait and see’ condition.” Licensed as a residential child care facility by the Indiana Department of Child Services and accredited by the Council on Accreditation, the residential program provides a positive, nurturing environment for teen girls struggling with oppositional defiant disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, substance abuse and anxiety disorder. Compass Rose also offers a variety of support services to parents who are not yet ready to consider residential placement for their child. Prevention services will soon include weekend conferences for parents and short-term experiential camps and activities for teens. For more information, please visit www.CompassRoseA cademy.org

Lutheran Air II makes maiden voyage to Wabash County The highly anticipated arrival of Lutheran Air II in Wabash County took place Monday, Oct. 7, at Wabash Municipal Airport. An hour-long reception with light refreshments kicked off before the helicopter landed in Wabash for the first time. After a brief welcome from Wabash Mayor R o b e r t Vanlandingham and Brian Bauer, chief executive officer, Lutheran Hospital, interim chief executive officer, Lutheran Health Network, attendees were invited to get a close-up look at Lutheran Air II and meet several members of the crew. News of the addition of Lutheran Air II to Lutheran Hospital’s critical care transport fleet and the construction of a new hangar at Wabash Municipal Airport was announced at a ceremonial groundbreaking in August. The second Lutheran Air medical helicopter
will be based in Wabash at the airport, a geographically important location for patients living in communities that make up the southern and western portions of Lutheran Health Network’s 23-county service area. In addition to expanding patient access to critical and specialty care, Lutheran Air II is already serving as a driver of economic development in Wabash County. More than 10 new jobs on Lutheran’s critical care transport team have been added, and the new hangar will generate new property tax revenue. Contractors and suppliers from the Wabash area are also working on the hangar project. The predominantly blue helicopter with yellow and white trim is an EC135 aircraft. The original Lutheran Air, a BK117 that went into service at Lutheran Hospital in 2004, will also be
replaced by an EC135 with the same new design in early 2014. Lutheran contracts with Air Methods to provide aircraft, pilots and flight mechanics. Air Methods is the only air medical operator in the country to reach Level 4 of the voluntary Safety Management System program overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration. To achieve SMS Level 4, Air Methods implemented multiple voluntary safety programs more commonly associated with commercial airlines. Lutheran Air program highlights are: -Active program for more than nine years -Average of six minutes to lift off after call is received -Two units of o negative blood on board for every flight -Only night vision goggle certified program in northeastern Indiana; all team members use goggles during night opera-
tions -Only aircraft in northeast Indiana with skids which allows for soft surface landings -Patient/family hospital destination requests are honored if medically appropriate for the patient’s condition -Both the adult and pediatric trauma centers at Lutheran Hospital are level II verified by the American College of Surgeons -Integrated communications center with full critical care transport ground services; includes a tertiary-care transfer center that ensures no additional time is needed to dispatch Lutheran Air -Program aligns with community providers to create region-specific transfer guidelines (Level 1 Heart, auto launch guidelines) -Air Methods, Lutheran’s provider, is the only helicopter vendor to receive the highest safety rating from the FAA.

Norse spoil Apache homecoming
by Gary Andrews It was homecoming night at Wabash as the Northfield Norsemen came to town. In night one of the county round robin the Norse would spoil Wabash’s special night, defeating the Apaches 41-22. For the first 11:00 of the game it was a defensive battle as both teams chewed up the clock keeping the ball on the ground. After each team had a possession, the Norse took the ball over on the 12 yard line after a great Roger Davis punt with 4:29 on the clock. The Norse kept the ball on the ground, mounting a drive that had two big runs, one from Shane Vigar and one from Alec Wells to get to the Wabash 22. Two plays later Carter Frieden went to the air, finding Wells from 18 yards out with 1:08 on the clock to take a
7-0 lead after one. After holding the Apaches to start the second quarter, the Norse wasted no time in finding the end zone again. On an eight-play drive, the Norse marched 54 yards when Frieden found Jarred Short from 14 yards out with 8:05 remaining to take a 14-0 lead. The Norse would score one more time in the quarter. Alec Wells would run an Apache punt back to the Wabash 13 and two plays later Shane Vigar found pay dirt from 7 yards out to give Northfield a 21-0 lead at the half. The Apaches were not going to roll over and righted some wrongs at the half and came out swinging. With 5:30 on the clock Kodi Clemons would break the ice with the first Wabash score on a quarterback sneak to draw
Wabash within two touchdowns at 21-7. Northfield, having trouble moving the ball the entire quarter got things going late. Starting at the 30-yard line the ground game found some momentum when Wells broke loose to the Wabash 16. One play later Vigar would break loose, scoring from 16 yards out with 1:00 left to make it 28-7 after three. Northfield would extend their lead one minute into the fourth quarter on a Drake Richter 1 yard run to make it 34-7. The Apaches answered less than two minutes later on a Roger Davis 40 yard TD reception to make it 34-14 with 8:34 to go. The Apaches would attempt an onside kick, but the Norse recovered and took advantage of the field position. On the backs of Richter and Bickel
the Norse mounted a drive that ended with Bickel scoring from 2 yards out with 6:47 remaining, making it 41-14. Wabash would score one more time when Luke Proctor scored from 1 yard out, with the Apaches converting the twopoint conversion to make the final 41-22. For Northfield Carter Frieden was 2 for 7 for 32 yards, 2TD’s. Shane Vigar led in rushing with 104 yards on 11 carries. Alec Wells had 74 yards, Carter Frieden 56, Josh Bickel 48, Drake Richter 33, Jarred Short 17, Jackson Beery 1. Alec Wells caught 1 pass for 18 yards; Jarred short had 1 for 14 yards. Jensen Frieden led the team with 6 solo tackles. Shane Vigar added 3. Wabash had 128 yards rushing and 101 yards passing.

County football match ups continue Friday on Wabash WebTV By Bill Barrows The four Wabash County varsity football teams are in the midst of facing off again this week, during the latter stages of the regular season as the Three Rivers Conference schedule winds down. The Manchester Squires will host the Wabash Apaches. Manchester will be coming off of a disappointing loss at Southwood. Wabash lost on Homecoming Night to Northfield. Both the Squires and the Apaches were able to put enough points on the board to win, but could not put enough together defensively to get the job done. Both will be
looking to play more consistently on the defensive side of the football this week. This match up could be a good one as both teams lay it on the line. Wabash WebTV will be at Northfield as the Norse host Southwood in the Metro Bowl. This is a border battle that should also be a good one. Northfield will be looking to stop the Knights’ momentum as they have now won two straight games. This gives the winner a leg up in the conference standings as well as bragging rights in the county race. Join me along with Jim Landrum as we
bring you all of the colorful action. Join Wabash WebTV every Friday evening for all of the exciting action of Indiana High School Football in the area. If you are at a game or cannot watch it live, an archive of the featured game is available on the website shortly after the completion of the games. This week Wabash WebTV will also be at Southwood for their volleyball game against North Miami on Oct. 8 and at Northfield next week on Oct. 15 for their volleyball game against Oak Hill.

Knights defend home turf against Squires by Gary Andrews The Southwood and Manchester football teams hooked up Friday in night one of the county round robin. The Knights defended their home turf, defeating the Squires 38-21. The Knights did all the scoring in the first quarter when quarterback Robbie Cole connected with Noah Kirk for a 33 yard scoring strike and with the Zach Hobson kick led 7-0 after one. The Knights would extend their lead to 13-0 in the second quarter when after a drive Nathan Hollars took it in from 4 yards out with 6:07 to play. The Squires would then get the goose egg off the board with 3:55 left on a Lucas Schilling 4 yard TD and after the Ross
Messer kick it was 137. The Knights would answer right before the half when Cole found Jackson Blair for a 10-yard scoring strike and the Knights led 20-7 at the half. The Knights looked like they were going to take total control to start the third quarter when Cole would find Danny Goff on a 33 yard scoring strike to increase the lead to 27-7. The Squires would then regroup and make things interesting. Phoenix Goad would score from 4 yards out with 6:03 on the clock to make it 27-14. The Squire defense would stiffen and the offense would strike again two minutes later when Lucas Schilling found Phoenix Goad on a 59-yard pass play for a touchdown and
the margin was cut to 27-21. Zach Hobson would end the scoring in the third quarter with a field goal with 1:25 left to play as Southwood led 30-21 after three. The Knights would score one more time in the fourth, which was all the scoring when Robbie Cole threw his fourth touchdown pass of the night, a 10 yard TD pass to Goff. The two-point conversion was good as the Knights went on to the 38-21 win. For Southwood Robbie Cole was 14 of 25 for 258 yards, 4TD.

Wynn attends National Sales Meeting, earns TAS certification Brett Wynn, a promotional advertising consultant representing Newton Manufacturing Company in North Manchester recently attended the 2nd Annual Newton Manufacturing National Sales Meeting & Trade Show in Nashville, Tennessee. The event kicked off with a reception dinner where more than 150 Newton representatives, guests
and employees reconnected. Newton Manufacturing Company recognized and celebrated the successes and longevity of many of its sales representatives. The weeklong event, held at the Sheraton Music City Hotel, included impactful presentations by both Newton Manufacturing and several of their premier suppliers. Presentations
offered valuable insights on tools, products and trends to help representatives grow their business and were designed to sharpen the consultants’ ability to reach target audiences with creative and relevant product ideas. More than 45 nationally recognized promotional product suppliers were there to show the latest and most popular trending
products available in today’s market. Newton Sales Re presentatives were able to touch and feel the products and speak directly to the supplier representatives regarding trends and popular uses. Wynn came away with creative ideas to effectively deliver advertising messages for any business or organization. In addition to attending this
national conference, Wynn recently earned his TAS certification. The professional development program “Trained A d v e r t i s i n g Specialist” is a P r o m o t i o n a l P r o d u c t s A s s o c i a t i o n International (PPAI) professional development initiative aimed at providing promotional products professionals an avenue for earning an industry credential, which is aligned with their experience, education and/or achievements. The program is an earned certificate program comprised of, among other achievements, at least three years promotional products experience and verification of 25 education points from either CAS or MAS approved
courses. “We’re thrilled that our sales representatives have taken the initiative to further their education through a credible resource such as PPAI,” said Dan Livengood, Sr. Sales Manager, eastern region at Newton. “This achievement not only enchances their ability to serve the customer, but also earning the certification allows them to be viewed as an accomplished promotional consultant.” A resident of North Manchester, Wynn is now working toward earning the next level of certification, Certified A d v e r t i s i n g Specialist (CAS). “It’s important for my customer to understand that this
accomplishment is about them as well.,” said Wynn. “My personal and business philosophy is to treat others as you would like to be treated. I want to be prepared to offer the best resources and options to my customers, and in order to do that, I’m acquiring more relevant education to better serve them.” Brett has been a promotional consultant in North Manchester and the surrounding area since 1998.

Manchester students learn about community careers
Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School students recently had the opportunity to speak with professionals in 19 different careers from the community. As a part of College Go! Week, guidance counselor Terri Denney and school to work coordinator Lisa Ulrey arranged for community professionals to make stu-
dents aware of college majors for specific careers. Students were able to ask questions and learn more about the careers they were interested in during their lunchtime. Careers were represented by Zach Dougal, athletic training; Jerry Hoerdt, conservation; Ben McLaughlin and Kurt
Stout, ministry; Kelly McKee and Candy Petrie, mortuary science; Matt Smith, construction; Martin Duffy, engineering; Tim Adams, insurance sales; June Haecker, banking; Bill Reichhart, education; Nicole Blevins, accounting; Steve Fawcett, attorney; Maria Osborne, physical therapy; Charles
Scott, military; Karen Long, cosmetology; Greg Tomlinson, law enforcement; M.A. Hire, nursing; Nate Trump, optometry; Jon Rose, agriculture; and Allison Sanson, pharmacy. Manchester Jr.-Sr. High School thanks these community members for donating their time and efforts to help students learn
about possible career and college choices.

Former Southwood student works way up to Executive Co-director of Indiana Academy by Kalie Ammons kalie@thepaperofwabash.com Vickie Barton grew up like many people in Wabash County: she helped out on her family farm. “It’s on 124, about three miles east of Southwood,” Dr. Barton explained fondly. However, Barton’s passion did not lie with the farm, but with helping children meet their full potential. The Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics and Humanities is a residential two-year high school for gifted and talented juniors and seniors. “It’s difficult to get people to understand that when you put a
bunch of these kids together in the same space, the potential is immeasurable,” Barton told The Paper. Students must apply during their sophomore year, a rigorous process. After writing multiple essays, keeping grades above average, getting recommendations from four different teachers and sometimes an interview process, students wait in anticipation for the phone call that will send them to live on Ball State’s campus for the next two years. All courses offered are either collegeprep or at the college level. Most are dual credit or AP, and many students leave with enough credits
to cover their freshmen year of college. Barton has some experience working with kids that veer from the norm. After earning her bachelor’s degree from Marion College (now Indiana Wesleyan), Barton worked as a gardener for White’s Institute. “They ended up hiring me full time to be their recreation director, which was a fan-
tastic job because I got to live there, they fed me and they paid me to play,” said Barton. After connecting with the students, Barton decided to invest even more time into their lives. “We started what was called the Green House Group Home. I had six kids living with me in a house. These are kids who we knew when they
left White’s were going to need to be independent and on their own. They lived there, got jobs, kept house and went to school at Southwood,” said Barton. After her time with the Green House Group Home, Barton took a group of students to bike the perimeter of the United States. “We left in February of 1985 and
did different programs and service projects and then finished in November of that same year. It was about 11,500 miles,” Barton explained. The group slept in a semi trailer that had been stacked with 50 bunk beds. “We slept at churches or in the middle of fields or wherever we could find a place,” said Barton. After her trip
around the states, Barton earned her master’s degrees in C o u n s e l i n g Psychology and Physical Education & Health at Ball State University. She then counseled at Indiana Wesleyan before becoming the director of counseling at Anderson University. “While I was there I heard about this school they were (continued on page 30)

all of the things they wanted this person to do and they didn’t even have the school going yet.” The beginning years of the Academy revealed many issues involving gifted and
talented children. “They were kind of the forgotten students. Probably one of the biggest misconceptions about gifted kids is that they come from middle-upper income families, they

have a mom and a dad and 2.2 siblings, that everything is fine and good; they would never need a counselor on staff,” explained Barton. The Academy works with kids from all backgrounds who want to further their education. “We’ve had kids who have been in foster care, we’ve had kids who have had guardians, we have had kids whose parents are the most amazing parents in the world.” Barton explains that the Academy tries to bring students to their true potential; pushing them harder than some schools might have the resources to do. Students are encouraged to study and work and shown that they should not be satisfied with “good enough.” “Convincing people of what a school like this can do for gifted kids that feel often times like they have to dumb down, that they can’t let people know how smart they are, they can’t talk about physics or math or Shakespeare

Wabash Kiwanis thanks community for another successful Bucket Brigade Dear editor, The 17th annual Wabash Kiwanis Club Bucket Brigade for Riley Children’s Hospital was held Saturday, Sept. 28. We were successful in collecting a generous donation from area residents in the
amount of $1,329.57 to be sent in full to the hospital. This brings the total our community has sent to Riley Children’s Hospital over these 17 years to $31,722.88. Again this year, the Indianapolis Colts joined in this event by
donating an autographed Colts football. Stephanie Barney won the ball in a drawing. The Wabash Kiwanis Club thanks every contributor to this cause of supporting the health facility, which has done so

continued from page 30 because people won’t get them, it’s a sight,” said Barton. After working as the Director of Residential and Student Affairs, Barton made the leap to Executive Co-director, her doctorate in education qualifying her for the position. The Academy does its best to accommodate all who wish to attend by knocking down some financial hurdles. In the beginning, everything was free excluding book rentals. Now, the Academy asks parents to pay for a frac-
tion of the room and board fee. “People who qualify for the free or reduced lunch program, we don’t get any supplements from the government, that’s just a rule we made to make it easier for students and their families,” said Barton about aiding students in paying for the room and board. “There’s also that group of people that don’t quite qualify for reduced, but, gosh, they don’t have that much money either. We try to raise money to give to the kids to help. $120,000
has been given to students to help pay that bill.” Dr. Barton is proud of her roots in Wabash, and especially grateful to her mother who “still lives on 124, still mows the grass, still takes care of her house and her home, and she’s 84 yearsold.” There is no need to look any farther to find where the determination and kind heart of Dr. Barton came from. “Without her support in my life, I couldn’t possibly be where I am now.”
much for many years and many children. Riley Hospital continues to lead the way in improvements in caring for young people’s various needs with new facilities, equipment and treatment methods. This year, we stationed our buckets at Betchol’s, Kroger gro-
ceries, Wabash WalMart, Walgreens Pharmacy, Save A Lot and Big R. We thank these businesses for their willingness to allow us to use their areas. Also this year, we had Kiwanis Key Club members from Wabash and Northfield high
schools helping with the project. Their work was greatly appreciated as they provided a wonderful boost to the entire project. Indiana Kiwanis Clubs continue to unite their efforts to finance needs as they arise at the hospital. Also, we appreciate
very much the help received in publicity through announcements on the two local radio stations, WKISS 95.9 and 105.9 The Bash, and news items in the Wabash Plain Dealer and The Paper of Wabash County. Wabash Kiwanis Club

I’m sure there are many others who’ve helped in some way that I have failed to remember and acknowledge and I apologize. I am very thankful to be a part of the Relay for Life. This year I am a 10-year survivor of breast cancer, in part, because of research funded by the Relay for Life. I encourage everyone to make a pledge today to make a change in their life or help others to make a change; eat healthier, stop smoking, exercise, get annual screenings to prevent cancer, and to celebrate those who have won their battle, remember those we have lost and to fight back to find a cure for cancer. Cindy Maggart Chairperson of the 2013 Relay for Life of Wabash County

Ride for Riley Kids yields largest amount in North Manchester event’s history The second annual North Manchester “Ride for Riley Kids” bicycle event, held during 2013 Funfest in August, attracted riders from five counties. The 50-mile and five mile Family Fun rides had the most participants. There was also a 30-mile route. All rides departed from M a n c h e s t e r
Elementary School. The bike riders traveled through scenic agricultural areas as
well as the communities of Liberty Mills, Bippus, Servia and Urbana. The resi-
dents of those communities saw bikers wearing florescent yellow “Ride for
Boy Scout troop goes caving
The First United Methodist Church Boy Scout Troop 429, Wabash, recently went on a caving and canoe trip to southern Indiana. The first night was spent swimming and camping out at Jim Stranton’s residence in Seymore. Then, the boys went to Marengo Cave the next morning for wild caving and crawled through mud and tight spots in the cave. For lunch, they went on the Big Blue River for an afternoon of canoeing and fun. Saturday night was spent in the bunkhouse at the cave, and they explored the area. Sunday the group returned to Wabash with a great feeling of accomplishment. Adults and scouts attending were: Ethan Egness, Joe Holley, Ben Holley, Waylon Easterday, Dravan Burkholder, Turner Parke, Alex Baggett, Bill Gohmann, Cathy Gohmann, Tom Chekouras, Craig Burkholder and Joel Villarreal.

Riley” t-shirts provided by local business co-sponsors. Ride cosponsors also provided funds for refreshments that were served to the 30 and 50-mile riders at points along the route. Refreshments were also waiting for all riders when they reached the finish line at the elementary school. This year’s “Ride for Riley Kids” yielded over $1,200, which is the largest amount raised to date from the bicycle event held by the North Manchester Kiwanis Club. The proceeds will be sent to the Indiana District of Kiwanis where they will be part of the District’s two-year pledge of $1,000,000 to Riley Children’s
Hospital for their “Path to a Cure” project. “Path to a Cure” is raising funds for Juvenile Diabetes research. According to local Kiwanis President and event chair Dennis Briner, “The Kiwanis Club plans to continue the bike ride as a Funfest event with all future proceeds supporting the important work of Riley Children’s Hospital. We are
grateful to all of our co- sponsors who made the ride and the amount of our donation to Riley possible.” Kiwanis began in North Manchester in 1921. For more than 90 years, Kiwanis has served the community in countless ways. For more information about Kiwanis you may visit their website: www.northmanchesterkiwanis.org.

Ivy Tech to expand precision agriculture offerings with support of USDA grant Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo Region will soon be taking a new precision agriculture program on the road and into the fields, thanks to a $144,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. J e n n i f e r Vandeburg, chair of the Agriculture Program at Ivy Tech’s Kokomo Region, said the recently awarded grant will support Ivy Tech’s precision agriculture education program by funding a mobile lab to take the high-tech program to area high schools as well as expand opportunities for Ivy Tech students. The grant comes under the auspices of USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, through the federal SPECA program. SPECA initiatives aim at promoting and strengthening secondary education and two-year postsecondary education in agriscience and agribusiness with the goal of encouraging more young Americans to pursue and complete a bachelor’s degree or higher in the food and agricultural sciences. Ivy Tech sought the grant to expand its educational programming in “precision agriculture” technologies that improve the effectiveness, efficiency and profitability of farm operations to meet growing food demand worldwide. “Precision agriculture” utilizes GPS, visual sensors, automatic steering and sophisticated computer programs to provide site-customized management of farms, taking in and analyzing huge amounts of data to develop a site-specific prescription for successful farm operations. Using precision agriculture techniques, farmers can determine the optimum number of plants for a particular site, the appropriate amount of fertilizer and water required, tilling options to minimize soil erosion and a host of other factors critical to successful production.
The federal grant will be matched with more than $75,000 in support from Ivy Tech, who is partnering in the project with D a u g h e r t y Companies Inc. Daugherty’s Elite Ag Solutions division, based in Peru, is a precision agriculture dealer focused on providing sales and support to producers throughout Northeast Indiana. They will be supplying a variety of equipment to the project, including a new “Green Sensor” system that can judge plant conditions to determine how much fertilizer to supply and an RTK (Real Time Kinetic) satellite navigation capability that increases the accuracy of the GPS guidance system from about three feet to less than six inches. Additional support is being provided by The Andersons Inc., Maple Farms Inc., Beck’s Hybrids and GeoSilos. The project addresses three areas of educational improvement in agriculture education at the secondary and postsecondary levels in the region, Vandeburg said.
First, it supports the development of three distinct educational programs – one for Ivy Tech Kokomo agriculture degreeseeking students, one for high school students and one to train high school teachers who wish to use the mobile lab that will be created. Second, it will support faculty development opportunities for Ivy Tech instructors such as one-on-one instruction and job shadowing with industry technicians. Third, and perhaps most important, it will allow for a new type of partnership between the community college and regional high schools to expose secondary students to precision agriculture tools and career options with the goal of increasing the number of students who go into the industry. Vandeburg said specifications are being developed for the most visible part of the project – outfitting a 30-foot enclosed trailer as precision agriculture mobile lab (PAML) and transport for a Kubota utility vehicle Ivy Tech
has equipped with precision agriculture technologies including a GPS monitor, auto-pilot and a crop sprayer with variable rate applications. “The PAML will be extremely valuable,” Vandeburg said. “It will provide a way to expand the technology available to Ivy Tech Kokomo students, plus make it possible to take this suite of educational tools out of Ivy Tech’s campus and put them into the hands of high school students. Without this equipment, instruction in this field is a paperand-pen exercise and much more difficult for hands-on learners to master.” The PAML will be available to high school agriculture teachers to use for one day, with instruction supplied by Ivy Tech Kokomo faculty, or for one-week, with instruction conducted by the local agriculture teacher with sup(continued on page 39)

Ivy Tech to expand... continued from page 37 port from Ivy Tech Kokomo faculty. “This will be a new sharing arrangement for the college and local high schools,” Vandeburg continued. “It will support learning how computerbased information systems and agronomic knowledge intersect to achieve refined management of crop production in the field. Through this, students can develop the crop management skill sets needed in this industry, building on fundamental mathematical, chemical and biological learning with computer skills, plant science, plant patholo-
gy and complex biological systems management skills.” Vandeburg, who is director of the project, emphasized the ultimate goal is to meet workforce demands in North Central Indiana. “The use of precision agriculture technologies is expanding rapidly,” she said. “The project will allow Ivy Tech to bring the latest technologies to students from kindergarten through associate degree and help prepare those students to fill the many agriscience and agribusiness jobs of the future.”

Ivy Tech Northeast expands hospitality space for growing program with $200,000 grant A recent $200,000 grant has been awarded to Ivy Tech Community College Northeast through the Ivy Tech Foundation from the English, Bonter, Mitchell Foundation and Mike
Eikenberry, former regional president of PNC Bank, who serves as the foundation’s chair. The grant allows the college to expand its Hospitality Room, which is used primarily by Hospitality
Administration students. Ivy Tech Northeast’s H o s p i t a l i t y Administration program is the second largest such program in the Ivy Tech Community College
system, and it is commonly seen as one of Indiana’s elite hospitality programs. This expansion will allow the program to grow, whereas with current space constraints, it is stymied. During the 2011 academic year, the program served 722 majors and provided more than 100 courses, and this pledge will allow for the expected growth of the program. “This is the perfect space for Hospitality Administration students to sharpen their customer service skills and show off their culinary talents,” says Jeff Bunting, program chair of the H o s p i t a l i t y Administration department. “This expansion, which adds 25 to 30 more seats, gives our program additional community exposure and will provide better training opportunities to a larger number of students.” The Hospitality Room is used for the program’s popular special cuisine dinners that attract college and community members throughout the semester, as well as college events such as regional board meetings. Students get the experience of running a restaurant, and this expansion—which will add 630 square feet to the existing space—will allow even more people to sample H o s p i t a l i t y Administration students’ cuisine.
