Parkview Wabash move brings wide range of emotions By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Wednesday, June 27, was a bittersweet day at Parkview Wabash Hospital. It was a historic day, but bittersweet, nonethe-less. At 6 a.m., the facility at 710 N. East St., closed its doors after nearly 97 years. At the same time, the new facility at 10 John Kissinger Drive officially opened its doors. Some staff members shed tears at the old facility. Others, while sorry to leave the building they worked at for decades, were excited to move into the state-ofthe-art site a couple miles away. Ann Titus, who has been affiliated with the hospital for 23 years, has gone through a wide

range of emotions during the transition between the two buildings. “At first I was really upset, torn,” said Titus, RN in-charge nurse in the surgery department. “This has been my home for 23 years. I’ve had a lot of family events that happened at this hospital. My grandmother passed away up in skilled care.” But there were some happy family memories as well. “My sister got married in the ICU waiting area,” she continued. “My Dad had had a heart attack two days before her wedding. They allowed us to have the wedding festivities here. We dressed my Dad up in new jammies, combed his hair and put him in a wheelchair, and my sis(continued on page 3)

NM resident owns flag from 1812

Sentencing for Munn set July 24 By David Fenker david@nmpaper.com

By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

NORTH MANCHESTER – Dennis Haller seems like an ordinary man, living out his years in a small-town, Main Street fashion. But, tucked away in his house is a secret which is very old and possibly very valuable. Haller has in his possession a war flag from the Texas secession from Mexico in 1812, making the flag well over 200 years old. “It could be older, but you can only go by what you know,” Haller said “It has 13 hand-sewn stars on it. It has a bullet hole in it from the war. It’s made out of wool. It’s been sewn with linen thread. It’s in pretty good condition because it’s always been in a cedar chest.” The story of how of how Haller came to own such an important piece of history starts in Syracuse. His grandmother Mae Baker’s school teacher didn’t have anyone to pass it down to and chose Baker to be the recipient of the flag. “My grandmother gave it to my mother Ruth Popert,” Haller said. “My mother turned around and gave it to me when I was living in Florida. So, I’ve had the flag for about 32 years myself. Everybody’s had it in the family and nobody ever got rid of it. I just figured we’d keep it because it’s in pretty great shape. It’ll stay in great shape as long as the next generation takes as good of care of it as we have.” Donating it for safe keeping it has always been an option for the family, but an heirloom with that much history is hard to part with, Haller said. “I just don’t know,” he added. “I thought about it. My mom just (continued on page 2)

Mikayla Munn, a former Manchester University student charged in connection with the death of her infant child, will be sentenced Tuesday, July 24. The sentencing hearing date change is the result of a June 27 hearing, in which Wabash County Circuit Court Judge Robert McCallen III accepted Munn's guilty plea and reset the sentencing hearing date. Munn pleaded guilty to one count of neglect of a dependent as a level three felony Monday, June 4. She originally faced charges of murder and neglect of a dependent as a level one felony. According to the plea agreement, Munn waived MIKAYLA MUNN her right to appeal the court's decision regarding her sentence, and faces a maximum sentence of 16 years and a fine of up to $10,000. During the June 27 hearing, Wabash County (continued on page 2)

Sentencing for Munn set July 24 ...continued from the front page

Prosecutor William Hartley Jr. said that, in his 20 years as a prosecutor, Munn's case ranked among the top three toughest that he handled, “for a variety of reasons.” He shared how, in May 2016, North Manchester Police Department's Jon Pace and former Wabash County Coroner Carol Whitesel arrived at his office, unannounced, and told him of a case of a deceased newborn found in a M a n c h e s t e r University dormitory bathtub with its mother, Munn. “All departments know that, in the case of a … suspicious death, they are to notify me,” Hartley said. “That didn't happen. “By the time I was involved, the dormitory had already been turned back over to the universi-

ty and cleaned.” Hartley said that he had a conversation with former NMPD Chief Jeff Perry regarding the lack of communication. The prosecutor then involved Indiana State Police with the investigation, which resulted in the murder and neglect charges. “To prove neglect [as a level one felony], you have to prove that the child was alive,” Hartley said. Due to the circumstances of the infant's death, there was no way to verify that it was, in fact, alive. Hartley described the plea agreement as a strategic decision by which the state could get justice in the case without the risk of a sympathetic jury not approving of the murder charge and finding that the state could not prove the

neglect as a level one felony charge. “We felt that we had substantial evidence,” Hartley said, “but we're trying to balance [the risk of success with the risk of failure].” A d d i t i o n a l l y, Hartley noted that the infant's father did not want the murder charge against Munn. “We either would have had a home run, or we would have struck out at a trial,” he said. “We felt like the lesser charge … was the right thing for justice.” D a n i e l Vanderpool, Munn's attorney, also said during the hearing that the case ranked among the toughest in his career. Regarding the state's case against Munn, Vanderpool said that the state's doctor used a discredited test that led to the belief that the infant had breathed before dying, and that his forensic doctor said that there was no way to tell for sure.

“It was a difficult case for both sides,” he said. Vanderpool noted that Munn accepted responsibility for the infant's death, and that her psychological profile lent credibility to her claims of not knowing that she was pregnant. “Given her mental makeup, it would not be unusual for her to be in denial,” he said. “When she was forced to reckon with what actually happened, forced to give birth... she got into that tub, had the child and fainted.” Regarding the plea a g r e e m e n t , Vanderpool agreed with Hartley. “The state had much to lose; my client had much to lose,” he said. “[The plea agreement] is a just and fair way to resolve this case.” McCallen said that he tends to rely on prosecuting and defense attorneys in plea agreements, noting that they know the cases well.

.asked her, because it was partly her flag too. It’s a good question. Would I? I don’t know.” The flag would carry a hefty asking price. Haller was offered $250,000 for it in the late 1980s. “I wasn’t interested in the money,” Haller said. “I was just trying to find out more about the flag if I could find it.” Haller’s mother was in the hospital with breast cancer around 1988, and news segment came on regarding items at the Smithsonian Institute.

“I said, ‘that looks just like our flag, mom,’” Haller said. “She said ‘it does.’ And they said that flag is valued at $13 million.” Regardless of the price, one of his fondest childhood memories is taking the flag to school with his brother when he was nine years old. The 231/2-inch-by46 1/2-inch flag may be able to be seen by the public. Haller said he’s throwing around the idea of asking the North Manchester Center for history to put it on display.

End of one era; start of another ter had a New Year’s Eve wedding in the waiting area.” Parkview and Wabash officials have been planning for several months for the move. Moving day began before the sun came up, as workers were there loading up equipment and supplies that were needed at the old facility, dubbed the legacy site by Parkview officials. Bins could be found throughout the facility, tagged with where it was to be taken once at the new hospital. Movers were wheeling loads of bins and other equipment through the vacant hallways to the loading dock where they were placed in one of two box trucks. Shortly before 5 a.m., staff members gathered in the E m e r g e n c y Department (ED) for a meeting to discuss any last-minute changes to the plan to move patients. Ten people were transported from the legacy facility to the new hospital, leaving in waves about 15 to 20 minutes apart. “Today’s the day,” Wabash Parkview president Marilyn Custer-Mitchell told The Paper of Wabash County after the meeting broke up. “We planned for this. We’re ready. We know there will be bumps in the road, but we’ve got plans for the bumps in the road, so we’re ready to go.” Crews from Parkview and Wabash Fire Department ambulance services arrived about 5:45 a.m., with patient transfers slated to begin as soon as the new facility opened at 6 a.m. Wabash Fire Chief Barry Stroup was one of the WFD ambulance personnel

It’s great to be here.” The old hospital has a special place in all of their hearts. “It’s affected all of our lives,” Rogers noted. Miller asked, “Who was born there? Raise your hands.” Three of them did. “Who had children there? Raise your hands,” she continued. Again, three

raised their hands. “Who had family members pass away there? Raise your hands,” and three did so. “So,” Miller said, “leaving there was hard.” Rogers continued, “It’s hard; it’s really hard. But coming to (the new hospital) made it all worthwhile. It’s a beautiful place, and there are even more beautiful people working here. It’s the people that (continued on page 4)

Parkview Wabash Hospital employees take one last look at the operating room at the old hospital. Photo by Joseph Slacian assisting in the move. “We’re going to help move patients from this hospital to the new hospital so they can get everything transferred over quickly and easily,” he said. “We’ve worked with Parkview staff for quite a few weeks now.” The first patient left the legacy site at 6:02 a.m. and was in her room at the new hospital by 6:17 a.m. She waved at those in the ED as she was rolled through on a stretcher en route to the ambulance. There was only one glitch in the patient moves; the ambulance bay door at the new facility wasn’t unlocked before the first ambulance arrived. The last patient was taken from her room on the legacy hospital’s second floor about 8:05 a.m. by a Parkview ambulance crew. Skip Daughtry, who works at Parkview Wabash’s registration desk, assisted two new patients at the new facility by 7:30 a.m. He also helped family members of those recently transferred patients to the proper rooms. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” he said of the new

hospital. “It’s like walking into a luxury hotel.” Other staff members also were excited about the move. Sally Bitzel, a 15year employee, said “I can’t wait to show off this beautiful facility.” The secretary in the hospital’s F a c i l i t i e s Department, Bitzel was raised in Wabash. “I was born at Wabash County Hospital,” she said. “I’ve watched families go there to be healed and helped. I said good-bye to my Dad at that hospital. It always holds a special place in my heart.” Louann Mullett is a 20-year employee, working in the Respiratory Therapy Department. “It’s kind of bittersweet,” she said. “I love this building I’ve been here so long. You get to know it. You get to know the smells, the people, the routines. But the hospital we’re going to is so beautiful. I’m so excited.” Her favorite memories at the legacy hospital revolve around the holiday season. “Everybody pitches in and brings dinner,” she said. “There’s

times we have been so busy, and to just take that time for a few minutes with each other have just been wonderful. Doctors’ wives will bring in meals. “It’s just nice to come together when you’re here away from your family to be with your other family, your work family.” Four registered nurses – Shelby

Kitchen workers left their marks on the department walls, writing their names and their first and last days on the job in black marker for anyone who might happen upon the area to read. Tables in the cafeteria, a favorite eating place for many in the community, stood vacant. Flowers in white vases were still atop the tables, though no one would be eating at them again. The surgical suites stood, sterile but empty, just in case they were needed in the closing hours the legacy hospital was open. Meanwhile, staff members dressed in surgical garb were packing equipment to be moved to the new site. Rows of gray, metal lockers stood empty in the doctors’ changing room in the surgical suite.

physicians, some of whom had passed away years ago. Included in items found when the lockers were cleaned were some ceremonial gold coins which were presented to the doctor’s widow. Another find was a set of tonsils still in a sealed bottle filled with formaldehyde, taken during a 1973 operation. Workers speculated the doctor was planning on giving to the patient, more than likely a youngster, but they were pushed to the rear of the locker and forgotten about. Throughout the various waiting rooms in the facility sat magazines which will forever go unread. Exercise equipment in the SpringSide Life Center stood motionless, though many still had digital displays flashing messages to no one in particular. Various signs throughout the facility were related to the move, many telling patients where the specific doctor or department was to be located in the new facility. Others apologize for any mess the move may be creating. Yet another sign, a giant purple bulletin board dubbed the Worry Wall, allowed

employees to express their thoughts or pose questions about the move. Hospital officials tried to answer any questions that may have arisen shortly after they were written. C u s t e r- M i t c h e l l , who began the morning at the legacy facility, traveled to the new hospital before the first patient left the building to oversee the transition from there. Two hours into the move, much of the anxiety from the earlier in the morning was gone. “Things are going very well,” she said. “We’ve had no major issues. All the patients are being taken care of; patient safety is our first issue in moving them. That’s gone very well. We’re very happy about that.” After the patient move, the legacy building was to be decommissioned in preparation for the eventual demolition of the site. Moving of equipment was expected to be finished Wednesday, she said. “There may be a few things that we have to run back and get, but most everything should be completed today,” CusterMitchell said. While the new hospital officially opened on June 27, staff

members have been there several weeks learning the ins and outs of the facility and much of the new equipment. A ribbon cutting ceremony took place Tuesday, June 26, at the new hospital. Officials from Parkview, the City of Wabash and H a g e r m a n Construction were on hand for the ceremony, which was witnessed by a few dozen Parkview Wabash employees. “This is so fun,” Mike Packnett, Parkview Health president and CEO, said, “to go from vision to reality.” Packnett credited Custer-Mitchell for overseeing the project over the last two years, saying “every project like this takes a great leader.” “When we build these facilities, we’re thinking 50-plus years out,” Packnett continued. “To be able to have this new tool to be able to serve our patients and families in the best possible way, it just gives me a lot of pride. I know you all have a lot of pride as well. I couldn’t be more proud of you.” An emotional Custer-Mitchell praised those staff members who helped the project along the way.

“What I’m proud of is you,” she said, pointing to the staffers standing nearby. “Our leadership team has worked so hard and we’ve done so much planning, and we’ve done so much work. Tomorrow is going to be a great day.” Mayor Scott Long and Keith G i l l e n w a t e r, President and CEO of Grow Wabash County, also spoke at the ceremony. “Everyone in the community that’s gone through this facility on the tours have been very complimentary,” Long said. “It’s beautiful. It’s an asset to our community.” Gillenwater said, “I know it’s been long journey for all of you. It took every one of your assistance and volunteering to get this up and going. On behalf of the community, I would like to say thank you.” Custer-Mitchell and Adam Whitmer, project manager for Hagerman, later told The Paper of Wabash County that they were excited and anxious for the opening of the new building. The excitement, they said, stems from the opening of the facility. But they also are anxious and hope the transition goes smoothly. The current facility is slated to close at 6 a.m. Wednesday, and at the same time the new facility, at 10 John Kissinger Drive, officially opens. Patients will be transported from the old facility to the new facility at that time, and the emergency department at the new site will open. “We’ve got really detailed plans in place,” CusterMitchell said. “We’re looking forward to moving patients in. I’m a little anxious about what might go wrong, because something might. But we’ve got contingency plans.” Whitmer echoed Custer-Mitchell’s comments. “We want to make sure nothing goes wrong tomorrow,” he said. “We’re going to be here to support the staff. It’s been a long two years. We’re just as excited as the staff is.”

Election Board OKs MCS question By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com The Wabash County Election Board, after more than 20 minutes of discussion on Thursday, June 28, approved the wording for the Manchester Community Schools’ proposed referendum question. The measure now must go to the Department of Local Government Finance for approval before it can be placed on the November ballot. The major aspect of the board’s discussion was the wording in the question. Board members felt it too vague. The question, as approved by the election board, reads: “Shall the M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools, Wabash County, Indiana, issue bonds or enter into a lease to finance the 2019 M a n c h e s t e r Community Schools Safety and Facility Improvement Project which includes safety and security improvement projects at several facilities and projects to provide more opportunities for co-curricular and extra-curricular programs and which is estimated to cost not more than $16,660,000 and is estimated to increase the property

tax rate for debt service by $0.3885 per $100 of assessed evaluation.” The wording in the question is governed by state statute, County Clerk Elaine Martin informed board members. “The question is, does it meet the statutory requirements,” she continued. “It says the question itself must start with ‘shall,’ then after that the name of the political subdivision, in this case, Manchester Community Schools, ‘issue bonds or enter into a lease to finance blank’ fill in the description, which they have.” The question is in the proper format, Martin told the board, she said, indicating she also checked with the Indiana Election Commission on the matter because she felt the question was too vague. “My question, when I saw the proposed question, it seemed vague to me,” she said. “The question that will be on the ballot seemed vague, seemed too broad. Although it does have the dollar amount, it doesn’t specifically say a lot of the wording of the petition that the voter signed.” Voters in the MCS district had to sign a petition requesting the referendum, and

those petitions were certified in mid-June by Martin’s office. However, the petition spelled out in detail the plans the school board has for the funds, including a proposed 87,000square-foot fieldhouse, which was not included in the question. “I’m not saying that it’s right or wrong, by the way” Martin reiterated. “That just seemed awfully vague. After speaking with the election division, they said as long as it meets the requirements of the statute, which it does. The statute says, ‘insert brief description of the project,’ it’s pretty brief and it’s pretty broad.” She noted the question doesn’t say at which buildings the work is planned, nor does it list specific projects. “Which projects?” she asked rhetorically. “Is it the ones the voters signed here, or could it be other projects? It’s up for interpretation, I don’t know. Maybe it’s too broad, but I don’t know that.” Board member Nan Roe said if she were a voter, she would prefer to know a little more about the project. But, she added, “if it meets the requirement, we can’t really say no to it.” MCS attorney Mark

Frantz assured the board the money is restricted and can only be used for projects specified in a legal advertisement that appeared in the June 13 edition of the North Manchester News-Journal. The board pondered having the question rewritten to include “the description appearing on the petition,” so it aligns more with the petition the voters signed and to constrain the district to what it can spend the money on. They also discussed having a passage noting the project would include only items advertised on June 13. However, Frantz reiterated that the funds can only be spent on what was advertised and nothing more. “We can’t do outside anything with the money and the bond issuance that isn’t advertised, that isn’t part of that project,” he said. “This question doesn’t allow us to spend any money that we get for this bond issuance on anything else. We are constrained under the law to only use the money we received for the projects that we had already advertised. “We can’t circumvent the requirements of the statute to advertise for certain projects and the

spending of bond money just because the question is a little broad. We are still constrained. “If we don’t advertise it, we can’t use the money for it.” Election board members said that they were happy with that explanation and voted unanimously to send it to the DLGF for final approval. However, that board could consider it too broad and return it to the county to have it written more clearly. A final decision on the question must be made by noon Aug. 1 in order for it to appear on the November ballot.

Brubaker earns staff spotlight even in retirement By Josh Sigler jsigler@thepaperofwabash.com

Steve Brubaker retired as a teacher from the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County in 2011. That doesn’t mean he’s stopped lending

students a guiding hand. Brubaker met up with one of his old students, Zach Campbell, who had fallen off the educational path along with way and dropped out of school. Brubaker knew he needed to come to Campbell’s aid, so he

helped him get enrolled at White’s High School, where Campbell graduated this year. Campbell and White’s principal Troy Friedersdorf presented Brubaker with the staff spotlight award, seven years after he taught his last class,

e e r F t s u D or o l F d o o Hardw shing Refini

for his efforts to help better Campbell. Brubaker said he has mixed feelings about the honor. “I don’t think we ever deserve awards for things like that,” he said. “Not just as teachers, but as people, we look for ways to help friends or lift friends up. As a teacher, you develop a relationship with kids when they’re young, and that relationship stays forever. And, my relationship with the Campbell kids was a good one. I enjoyed them a lot. I think that relationship gave me the ability when I ran into Zach afterwards, that I could apply a little personal pressure on him. “It’s something we do because we’re humans, not just because I was a teacher.” The board also heard a presentation from Metro North Elementary Principal Janette Moore, who was joined by several of her colleagues for an educational conference

at Columbia University in New York City. Two years ago the school adopted the Lucy Calkins writing units of study, and members began dreaming of studying with her and benefitting from her work. Calkins developed the writing project, and is the lead for the Teachers’ College at Columbia University. In January, members of Metro North applied to be accepted to attend a seminar in New York City. Five or six were accepted right away, and two more broke through later in the rigorous application process. The group spent a week studying with Calkins and her colleagues, learning the ins and outs of the implementation and developing a deep understanding of the writing process, and how to support reading and writing in the classroom. “It was very validating of the practices we

have in place now,” Moore said. “It helped us dig deeper into what our next stops are. How can we support students in their understanding of the importance of going back and revising their work? How to look at it through a different lens. How to just improve our current practice and make it even better for our students. Tuesday, the board also: —Approved the Teacher Evaluation Plan for 2018. —Accepted the resignation of Jessica McCreary as a business teacher at Southwood High School. —Accepted the resignation of Mary HinerRandall as an English teacher at Southwood High School. —Accepted the resignation of Patrick Hopkins as a P.E. teacher at Southwood Elementary. — Accepted the resignation of Melanie Penn as secretary at

Northfield High School. — Accepted the retirement of bus driver Lori Powell. — Approved the employment of Samantha Jones as a special education aide at Sharp Creek Elementary. — Approved the employment of Theresa Elliott as a Title I aide at S o u t h w o o d Elementary. — Approved the employment of Tyler Wright as an English Teacher at Southwood High School. — Approved the employment of Kim Baer as a fourth grade teacher at Sharp Creeek Elementary. — Approved the employment of Courtney McClure as a music teacher at Metro North Elementary. — Approved the employment of Adam Phelps as a special education teacher at Northfield High School.

Wabash firefighters receive recognition By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com

W a b a s h Firefighter/Paramedi c Joe Butterbaugh was honored Monday night during the Wabash City Council meeting. Butterbaugh received a Cardiac Save Award from Zoll, which supplies safety equipment for the department, for his efforts in helping save the life of a Wabash man in December 2017. Mayor Scott Long said that on Dec. 16, paramedics were sent to the home of Roger Miller after receiving a report that Miller was having problems breathing and had collapsed. Family members began performing CPR on Miller

until firefighters took over. Miller was taken to hospital and, Long said, it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;touch and goâ&#x20AC;? along the way. Miller has since recovered and was on hand, thanking Butterbaugh for his efforts with a handshake and a hug. Miller said he appreciated the efforts of not only those who helped save him, but the efforts of all emergency personnel. In addition to a certificate, Butterbaugh also received a heartshaped, Cardiac Save pin. Long also thanked Butterbaugh, who recently retired from the department, for his service to the department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud to have you serve with

Recycling sites to merge to one location

Wabash County Solid Waste was approved for an additional appropriation of $245,000 for capital

outlay in an effort to cut down on the illegal dumping of contaminated waste that is not recyclable. Solid Waste spends $77,000 annually on top of its flat rate getting rid of items

which cannot be recycled. “Over quite a few years, since we began the recycling programming, one thing we are faced with with drop site recycling, is contamination,” Executive Director Jen Rankin said. “I can’t be at all of them at all times of the night, and boy are they good at timing when (no one is around). Our vendor deals with a majority of it. That costs Solid Waste roughly $6,400 in additional fees per month, because the vendor is responsible for removing the contaminated material, like diapers for example, and taking it to the landfill. “Drop site contamination is about the same across the state,” Rankin said. “It runs between 15 and 18 to 20 percent in some of the more rural areas. We run at about 18 percent. If in fact we were to take in all this contamination and take it to the landfill, it would cost us to write a check to the

landfill. But, (the vendor) increase the cost of our recycling program in order to accommodate for that contamination.” The plan calls for the two Wabash recycling sites to be combined at 1101 Manchester Ave, and improvements be made to the Solid Waste central office, where recycling will now be taken. The lot will be paved, and Solid waste will be putting in a recycle area that will be concrete to hold the weight of the bins and trucks. There will also be a pair of retention ponds, designed to filter water before it enters into the water supply. The hope is that with a new, more secure recycling site, contamination will be decreased drastically. “I still only have three employees, so it’s as much as we can do without hiring more workers,” Rankin said. “With surveillance we’ll be able to put up now, this surveillance sys-

tem I’m using, if someone is in there at midnight doing something they’re not supposed to be doing, I can tell to stop what they’re doing now and go. I’m so excited about that. … We’re hoping that can go a long way toward cutting down on that contamination.” Special metal panel fencing will also be put up along the highway to eliminate an eyesore for passersby. Sheriff Bob Land was the first to address the council, and as has been the case in recent months, Land reiterated to the council that he is understaffed in both road officers and jail officers. “On man power, we’re running short,” he said. After some discussion on how to proceed, the council unanimously voted to allow Land to seek two new road officers and a new jail officer this year. It is likely that the Sheriff ’s Department will return to the council in the future and ask for additional staffing. Along with that, Metropolitan School District of Wabash C o u n t y Superintendent Mike Keaffaber broached

the subject of adding two school resource officers in the future. The council responded that more discussion can be had on the matter once budget season rolls around and a clearer image of what the budget may look like comes to light. Members from the Purdue Extension and 4-H were also on hand to explain how the $5,000 they receive from the county commissioners is used. The Purdue Extension has been operating at a loss for years, but the money goes toward good causes, such as nonlivestock judging and sending children to camps, workshops and academies. The Wabash County Animal Shelter was also on hand to discuss an increase in funding for their operation. It was explained the animal shelter’s funding has been decreased from $100,000 to $60,000 in recent years, and items such as a new roof and quarantine addition to the shelter are needed. “It’s the original roof from 25 years ago,” Animal Shelter Director Doug Bogert said. “It’s an asbestos, shingled roof, so 25 years is kind of the expected life of the

roof. Every time it rains we pray that we don’t get wet. Every day we go around picking up the nails from the shingles that are falling down all the time. “We desperately also need a place to quarantine dogs, because we have no place to do that,” Bogert added. “It’s a dangerous situation, like when we have a dog that came in with parvo. If you want to see a shelter person turn white, just mention the word parvo to them. That’s like your worst nightmare.” The Council also rejected a resolution to purchase the site at 1025 Manchester Ave. which would have housed the County Health Department and County Morgue. Bonnie Haughn approached the board about purchasing the former Dr. James Haughn office on Spring Street, but was told she would need to discuss that with the county commissioners, all of whom were in attendance Monday night. The board also approved Charlie Miller to serve on the Wabash County Public Library board, as well as Lisa Ulery for the North Manchester Public Library Board.

A small room in the Wabash County Clerk’s office will serve as the new home for the county’s voting machines and electronic poll books. The Wabash County Election Board approved a resolution moving the machines from the Wabash County Courthouse to the clerk’s office in the

Judicial Center to comply with a new state statute. The designation had to be made by July 1. Under the resolution, the equipment will be kept in a locked room with only four individuals – the clerk, the deputy clerk of voter registration and elections, the center’s security team and the head custodian – will have access to the room. The election board ensures the room has proper climate

Explore Indiana agriculture this summer By The Paper staff School is out, summer is here and Indiana’s summer agritourismdestinations are open for business. Whether it’s visiting a farmers market or u-pick orchard, Indiana has hundreds of locations to choose from—each offering a unique and memorable experience for visitors of all ages. “With our rich a g r i c u l t u r a l heritage — culinary and agritourism are at the heart of so many communities in Indiana,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “We want to encourage Hoosiers to get outside, explore the beauty of rural Indiana this summer and experience life on the farm.”

During the summer months, visitors can spend the day picking berries or apples on one of Indiana’s 100+ u-pick farms, or stop by a local farmers market for fresh seasonal produce. Kids can get their hands dirty in a garden, observe farm animals up close or even go on a hayride. While no two destinations are the same, most offer guided tours and the opportunity to see firsthand how food in grown and raised in Indiana. “Visiting a farm is one of the best ways to learn about where your food comes from,” said Bruce Kettler, Indiana State Department of Agriculture director. “Many of these destinations are familyowned and operated and provide engaging activities for peo-

ple of all ages.” Indiana’s agritourism destinations also include a variety of award-winning culinary hot spots, such as wineries, breweries, distilleries and farm-to-fork restaurants. These venues offer local flavors and experiences that can only be found in the Hoosier state. “Authentic local flavors and working landscape experiences are important to visitors,” said M a r k Newman, Indiana Office of Tourism D eve l o p m e n t Executive Director. “Indiana can deliver both unique farmbased and food-based experiences.” For an online directory of culinary or agritourism destinations in the state, visit visitindiana.co m/agritourism.

VIEWPOINT OUR VIEW

Have a safe Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is upon us. Happy 142nd birthday, America. It’s the time for parades, backyard cookouts, swimming at the lake and, of course, fireworks. It is the last item in that list, fireworks, that concern us. We hope everyone enjoys the community fireworks shows planned around the area. We also hope that they enjoy personal fireworks shows in their backyards or nearby fields. But we also hope, and can’t stress enough, they do so safely. Last year, 238 firework-related injuries were reported to the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). Of those cases: More than one-third of all reported fireworkrelated injuries involved individuals 18 years of age and younger. 30 percent of firework-related burn injuries were to the hands or fingers. Eye injuries accounted for 11.7 percent of the total number of injuries. 49 percent of the injuries were caused by firecrackers, rockets and sparklers. Malfunctioning or mishandling of fireworks accounted for nearly 57 percent of reported cases. Fireworks use on private property accounted for 61.3 percent of reported cases. The only time children should be allowed to handle any type of firework is when an adult is there to supervise. Children should never be left alone with fireworks, not even sparklers. Sparklers can burn at approximately 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (which can melt glass). A safer alternative for younger children would be glow sticks. To keep this holiday season fun filled for everyone involved, safety is encouraged by following these tips: Steer clear of others setting off fireworks. They can backfire or shoot off in the wrong direction. Never throw or point fireworks at someone, even as a joke. Do not attempt to make or alter any fireworks or firework devices. Always have a fire extinguisher or water supply, such as a hose or bucket of water, nearby. Only light one firework at a time and never attempt to re-light or fix a “dud” firework. Do not pick up pieces of fireworks after being lit or after an event. Some may still be ignited and can explode at any time. Think about pets. Animals have sensitive ears and can be very frightened or stressed by firework sounds. Keeping pets indoors can reduce the risk that they’ll run loose or get injured. We don’t want to spoil anyone’s holiday fun. But we want it to be just that, fun. Simple care and attention to detail can prevent the holiday from becoming one spent in the Emergency Department ... or worse.

MSD gets update on shape of elementary buildings Prior to the Tuesday, June 25, school board meeting, the members of the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County board heard a presentation from P e r f o r m a n c e Services, who gave the board a run down of what shape their elementary school buildings are in. Some HVAC units are beyond their life expectancy, but there were no surprises in the report, Assistant Superintendent Chris Kuhn said. “As with any building, things need to be done to keep them going,” Kuhn said. “Some of the items they talked about, especially from the mechanical side, we know that some of them are reaching their life expectancy. That doesn’t mean they need to be replaced right away, but we can get to a point where they break down on us and put you in a situation where you have to replace them when you weren’t necessarily prepared to replace them.” Performance Services Business D e v e l o p m e n t Manager Tony Kuykendall explained that if MSD were to make all of the upgrades and improvements listed in its report to the board, it could potentially save over $40,000 in energy costs. The report stated that nearly all of the heating and cooling equipment at S o u t h w o o d Elementary is near its life expectancy, the makeup air units don’t work effectively in the winter months, and sections of the roof last upgraded in 1995 should be replaced in the near future. Also, at Southwood Elementary, the vertical water source heat pumps are 13 years past their life expectancy. At Metro North, the report stated the chiller and pneumatic

controls are past their life expectancy, an expanded gymnasium was recommended due to the multi-use overcrowding being experienced at the school, and the five 48year-old air handling units are in critical need of replacement. At Sharp Creek, the report stated the entire heating and cooling systems needs replaced, the 1995 shingle roof needs replaced, and the single-pane windows need replaced. In addition, two boilers, two condensing units, hot water pumps and three air handling units are all

13 years past life expectancy. The report was just a way for MSD to get a feel for what shape their buildings are in. The board took no action at the work session. “It’s just continuing the conversations with (maintenance technician) Steve (Holley), the board, and seeing what those next steps might be,” Kuhn said. “Hopefully we can gear everything together at some point and take that information to see what is going to be the best process for those next steps.”

focus should be on what one can control. When calm alertness is maintained you are more likely to perfor m nearer the limit of your ability. I like using the term, controlled aggression. Tennis and psychology are natural p l a y m a t e s . Everything you do of an athletic nature is as much an expression of your personality as it is a reflection of your particular physical strengths and weaknesses. The secret to winning any game lies in not trying too hard.” EVERYONE DO ME THAT SPECIAL FAVOR and have a safe enjoyable week!

Health officials urge precautions against West Nile virus From the ISDH I N D I A NA P O L I S — State health officials are urging Indiana residents to take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites as the state begins to see West Nile virus activity in mosquitoes. As of June 27, mosquitoes in Elkhart County and Carroll County have tested positive for West Nile virus. No human cases of West Nile virus disease have been detected in 2018; however, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) expects to continue to see increased West Nile activity throughout the state as the mosquito season progresses. “We see cases of West Nile virus disease in Indiana every year,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, MD, FACOG.

“When we find evidence of the virus in multiple counties, that means the risk is starting to increase statewide. Hoosiers in every county should be taking precautions against mosquitoborne diseases.” State health officials recommend the following preventive measures: Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are active (especially late afternoon, dusk to dawn and early morning); Apply an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus or paramenthane-diol to clothes and exposed skin; Cover exposed skin by wearing a hat, long sleeves and long pants in places where mosquitoes are especially active, such as wooded areas; Install or repair

screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of the home. Even a container as small as a bottle cap can become a mosquito breeding ground, so residents should take the following steps to eliminate potential breeding grounds: Discard old tires, tin cans, ceramic pots or other containers that can hold water; Repair failed septic systems; Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers left outdoors; Keep grass cut short and shrubbery trimmed; Clean clogged roof gutters, particularly if leaves tend to plug up the drains; F r e q u e n t l y replace the water in pet bowls; Flush ornamental fountains and birdbaths periodically; Aerate ornamental pools, or stock

them with predatory fish. West Nile virus can cause West Nile fever, a mild form of the illness, which

can include fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph glands or a rash. Some people will develop a more

severe form of the disease affecting the nervous system, including inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, muscle

paralysis or even death. People who think they may have West Nile virus should see their healthcare provider.

Writer urges residents to review Indiana Trails Liability Law Dear Sirs, Please print the following information in your opinion column: The new Indiana Trails Liability Law only protects land owners from liability when people access the trail from their property, not when people access their

property from the trail, and in most areas, that’s what the big problem is: people getting off the trail. The law only addresses accessing the trail, not exiting. Read it: H.E.A. 1115. No Trespassing signs and fences already cover it all. But, you better get your fence

now, because trails operators are required to erect the fence, and they are wanting to get out of that, in the next Indiana General Assembly.

Bass players from across U.S. flock to Wabash By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Nine double bass students from around the country were in Wabash last week, participating in the 11th annual Wabass Institute. The students gathered Monday through Thursday to receive group and individual instruction from three of the premiere bass players in the world, Harold Robinson, Eric Larson and Ranaan Meyer. On Friday evening, the group performed in a recital at the Honeywell Center. “Things are amazing,” Meyer, the institute’s artistic director, told The Paper of Wabash County during a break in the instructions. “Every year we say the same thing. It sounds redundant, but it just always seems like it’s better than the last year. “The students are so amazing. They’re exceeding our expectations. They’re all playing at an extremely high level. There’s a certain camaraderie. The output that they’re going to be able to take with them to grow as time goes on.” Rachel Martin is one of the students at this year’s institute. A freshman at Rice University, Martin has been playing the double bass since she was 9. “Originally I played the cello,” said Martin, a Pittsburgh, Pa., resident. “Then the next year I saw the bass and thought, that’s a really big cello, that looks like fun. I i m m e d i a t e l y switched. It’s the best decision of my life.” Martin has studied privately with P i t t s b u r g h S y m p h o n y Orchestra member Peter Guild for nine years. She is the coprincipal with the Pittsburgh Youth S y m p h o n y Orchestra, and last summer was the principal bassist of the National Youth Orchestra, performing Mahler Symphony 1 conducted by Marin

Ranaan Meyer demonstrates a technique during a group session at the Wabass Institute. Photo by Joseph Slacian Alsop. “I found out (about the institute) from my teacher,” Martin said. “He had another student here before me, and so he highly recommended it.” She has learned quite a bit during her time in Wabash. “It’s hard to just say in a sentence what I learned because I’ve learned so much,” she said. “It’s been such a rich week. I’ve learned things I didn’t think were possible. I’ve learned how to refine technique, how to practice, and things to think about when I’m playing.” She plans to study double bass performance at Rice, with hopes of one day being an orchestral performer. One of the ways students learn is by listening to the give and take among instructors. During

one session, the three were debating about ways the left hand is held while playing. “That’s the beauty of it,” Meyer said. “One of the reasons there are three coaches, or mentors, … we like to think of ourselves as learning from one anoth-

er. That’s how we feel we’ve gotten to a high level as educators, or performers, by keeping an open mind. “It’s an evolving process. As a musician, it’s a little different than as an athlete. There’s a certain point in your physical nature

where you have to hang it up. You can go on to coaching and things like that, which is wonderful. “As a performer on an instrument, it’s a lifelong quest. You really have an opportunity for refining and getting better. If you’re just going to go with a school of thought that happened at year one, or year five or year 10, you’re really shooting off your foot. Thirty years down the road you’re going to be antiquated fast.

“If you can think of how fast the game of baseball moves; the things that have changed from three or four years. Imagine as a musician, you’re talking you can have a 50 or 60 year career.” Meyer, who studied at the Curtis Institute of Music, again thanked the late Richard Ford and Halloran Philanthropies for providing the free tuition and accommodations for the students.

During his career, Meyer has performed with the likes of Branford Marsalis and Jane Monheit, and also worked with Zach DePue and Nick Kendall in the string trio, Time for Three. Robins is the principal bassist for the Philadelphia Orchestra and is an instructor at the Curtis Institute. Larson is a double bassist with the Houston Symphony Orchestra.

Two shows coming soon to Honeywell Center Article Provided

The Honeywell Center is set to host a pair of big-name rock shows as part of its summer concert lineup in the coming weeks. America, the BritishAmerican rock band, will perform live on stage in the Honeywell Center Ford Theater on July 20, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. Meanwhile, radio station 101.9 ROCKS will welcome Kansas, a rock favorite from the 70s, on the night of their performance a little over a week later on July 29 at 7:30 p.m. America became a global household name and paved the way with an impressive string of hits including, “A Horse With No Name”, “I Need You” and “Ventura Highway”. Corporate Sponsorship is provided by Lowden Jewelers. Associate Sponsor is Ceres Midland. The year 2018 marks the 48th Anniversary of perennial classic-rock favorite, America.

Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate Dan Peek, deceased) met in high school in London in the late 1960s and quickly harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song “A Horse With No Name.” Forty-plus years later, these friends are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound. Tickets are $75, $49, and $39, and may be purchased online at w w w. h o n e y we l l c e n ter.org or by calling the Honeywell Foundation Box Office at 260-5631102. With a legendary career spanning more than four decades, Kansas has firmly established itself as one of America’s iconic classic rock bands. This “garage band” from Topeka released its debut album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who

worked for Don Kirshner, and has gone on to sell more than 30 million albums worldwide. Composing a catalogue that includes fifteen studio albums and five live albums, Kansas has produced eight gold albums, three sextuplePlatinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of Kansas), one platinum live album (Two for the Show), and two one million-selling gold singles, ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ and ‘Dust in the Wind.’ Kansas appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70’s and ‘80’s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ continues to be one of the top five most played songs on classic rock radio, and ‘Dust In the Wind’ has been played on the radio more than three million times!

2016 marked the release of “The Prelude Implicit,” Kansas’s fifteenth studio album. The wideranging progressive rock album was released on Inside Out Music, and marked the band’s first studio album release in 16 years. Throughout 20162017, the band celebrated both the release of “The Prelude Implicit” and the anniversary of breakout album “Leftoverture” with the highly successful Kansas: Leftoverture 40th Anniversary Tour. That tour was released in 2017 as a live album, “Leftoverture Live & Beyond.” The band, which is currently comprised of original drummer Phil Ehart, bassist/vocalist Billy Greer, keyboardist David Manion, vocalist/keyboardist Ronnie Platt, violinist/guitarist David Ragsdale, guitarist Zak Rizvi, and original guitarist Richard Williams, continues to perform in

America, the British-American rock band, will perform live on stage in the Honeywell Center Ford Theater on July 20, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. America became a global household name and paved the way with an impressive string of hits including, “A Horse With No Name”, “I Need You” and “Ventura Highway”.

Operation Blue Anvil nets numerous arrests Article Provided Recently, nine departments in north central Indiana teamed up for six days to help stem the flow of illegal narcotics into Hoosier communities. Officers from the Indiana State Police, the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department, the Logansport Police Department, the Peru Police Department, the Fulton County Sheriff ’s Department, the Cass County Sheriff ’s Department, the Wabash County Sheriff ’s Department, the Grant County Sheriff ’s Department

and the Rochester Police Department utilized marked and unmarked police cars to conduct saturation patrols on U.S. 31 in Miami and Fulton Counties. Patrol officers were augmented by K-9 officers utilizing narcotic detecting police dogs. Officers dubbed the unannounced six-day patrols “Operation Blue Anvil.” The goal was to enforce traffic laws and catch individuals who utilize Indiana roadways to transport and distribute illegal narcotics. U.S. 31 was chosen because a large vol-

ume of motorists utilize the road to travel through the heart of northern Indiana. Officers wanted to serve notice that as the summer temperatures increase, so will their vigilance in keeping illegal narcotics from reaching Hoosier communities. June 19 through June 21, and June 26 through June 28, officers teamed up to make 129 criminal arrests on 272 different drug-related charges. Forty-eight of the charges were classified as felonies. Officers also issued 193 traffic citations and 511 written

warnings. There was also three driving while impaired arrests. During the six days, officers located cocaine, heroin, LSD, methamphetamine, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, edible marijuana food, MDMA, prescription medication, and numerous drugs that have yet to be identified. They also located drug paraphernalia. All of the contraband was found during traffic stops made by the various police departments. “This is the eighth straight year we have organized summer driving season kickoff patrols,” stated Indiana State Police Sergeant Dan Prus, who organized and oversaw the patrols. “Summer is a peak travel time with an increased volume of people traveling thought-out Indiana. Police officers want the patrols to serve as a

Photos provided. reminder to drivers to follow all traffic laws for the safety of everyone utilizing Indiana’s roads. The patrols should also serve as a warning that police officers will utilize all of the resources at their

disposal to catch and arrest the few who transport illegal drugs.”

Citizens are encouraged to call their local law enforcement agencies with any information about the possession, distribution, or selling of illegal narcotics. Information can also be reported anonymously by calling the Indiana State Police Drug and Gang Hotline at 1-800-453-4756. All criminal defendants are to be presumed innocent until, and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Monitoring shows deer ticks on rise From the IU News Bureau The organisms, deer ticks, are not yet confirmed to carry Lyme disease. However, IU researchers said the presence of a known disease vector — like a deer tick — is commonly followed by a rise in the illness caused by the bacteria it carries. The detection arises from a newly launched project from the IU Environmental R e s i l i e n c e Institute and the Prepared for Environmental Change Grand Challenge to understand and guard against disease-carrying organisms in the state. Project Vector Shield will regularly collect ticks and mosquitoes on the state’s southern, eastern and western borders and analyze them to see if they carry diseases that are dangerous to people. The project’s launch comes at the same time as a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finding

that the transmission of diseases from ticks, mosquitoes and fleas has tripled since 2004, including the detection or discovery of nine diseases never previously seen in the U. S. ”Changes in climate, temperature and weather conditions, as well as human activities such as international travel, all contribute to the movement of disease vectors into a new region,” said IU Distinguished Professor of Biology Keith Clay, a leader on Project Vector Shield. “But the only way to quickly detect new species or diseases entering an area is regular, long-term data collection, which is rare. There really isn’t anyone else conducting this sort of sustained, state-level monitoring project. ”Deer ticks — also known as blacklegged ticks — do not currently appear in Southern or Central Indiana on CDC maps. But Project Vector Shield’s data suggests this “safe zone” may be much smaller than previously thought —

or nonexistent. Although the project is not officially associated with Indiana state government, Clay added that the project’s leaders hope it will provide valuable information to policymakers, researchers and citizens on protecting against new disease threats. The project’s 20 collection sites are primarily located in state parks, forests and wildlife areas near Indiana’s eastern border with Ohio, the southern border along the Ohio River and the western border along the Wabash River. The sites are split between rural regions and urban, suburban and exurban areas where the risk of human exposure to ticks and mosquitoes is greatest. The first tick collections were conducted in April. Other collections — as well as mosquito collections later in the season — will occur at each location five to six times per year between spring and fall for the next four years. The effort will

focus on Indiana’s southern region, since most new diseases entering the state come from the south due to rising global temperatures. The tropical mosquito species that carries the Zika virus, for example, was first detected in the Midwest in 2016. ”A vector-borne disease can’t arrive in a region until its vector arrives, especially since there isn’t much overlap between the illnesses carried by different vector species,” Clay said. “Our goal is to analyze ticks and mosquitos for species that previously did not occur — or were less common — in Indiana so people are able to take the appropriate precautions. ”Over the past 20 years, Indiana has seen the rapid expansion of another major disease carrier, the lone star tick, which transmits a bacterial infection that causes the illness ehrlichiosis and whose bite can cause a severe allergic reaction to red meat.

Monitoring shows deer ticks on rise Gulf Coast tick, a newer, rising threat that carries a pathogen causing Tidewater fever, has recently become established in Tennessee and Maryland. “If the Gulf Coast tick is as aggressive and fast-moving as the lone star tick, it’s just a matter of time

before it enters Indiana,” Clay said. “The biggest difference between these diseases and some other tick-borne illnesses is their threat to human life. Lyme disease can make you miserable, but it won’t kill you. ”Project Vector Shield is a part of the IU Environmental

Resilience Institute’s broader interest in “movement ecology,” or the study of how organisms like insects, birds and plants move across the environment. Tracking these changes over time can reveal long-term changes in the environment — and provide an early warning

system for threats like invasive species and vector-borne disease. The IU Environmental Resilience Institute is supported by IU’s Prepared for Environmental Change Grand Challenge, which brings together a broad, bipartisan coalition of govern-

ment, business, nonprofit and community leaders to help Indiana better prepare for the chal-

An ongoing look at Wabash County 4-H 10-year members

4-H Grows...

Corbin Rager School: Manchester Parents: Jeff & Natalie Rager Future Plans: To farm on my family’s farm, Rager Farms 4-H Club: Laketon Cloverleaves 4-H Projects: Swine and Cattle 4-H Grows Time Management: Corbin has learned the importance of time management through his 4-H projects. He says, “I’ve learned how to manage my time between farming and my livestock. In the fall, I know that I have to build in time for cattle sales while managing harvest season. In the spring, I’m even busier with planting season and taking care of my pigs and calves. I know I need to get my work done, whether that means I get up earlier or work later.” Corbin knows that time management is important as he continues farming. “Managing time is important no matter what I’m doing. It has helped me with farming and it will continue to do so. I’m going to be building my own hog barns and I know it will help me with that.” Corbin is looking forward to his last county fair. “I’m going to finish with my best and have fun,” Corbin says.

Kathryn Pefley School: Northfield Parents: David & Lee Ann Pefley Future Plans: Attend Taylor University to major in exercise science 4-H Club: Lagro Speedy Clovers 4-H Projects: Performing Arts, Cake Decorating, Photography 4-H Grows Creativity: “Cake Decorating taught me how to use all of my creativity to come up with ideas that were totally different than anything anyone else is going to do or has done before. However, Cake Decorating is not the only project that has improved my creativity skills,” Kathryn says. “For example, photography judges do not want to see the same pictures all the time. Because they judge so many pictures all in one day, you have to do something to make yourself stand out from the rest. Judges like to see different angles and objects, so it pushes me to think outside the box. Performing arts has also continued to grow my love and appreciation for the arts. This skill will help me in the future because I will be able to come up with creative ways to solve different problems in my life and stand out as being able to do things differently than others,” she explains.

Emily Mize School: Manchester Parents: Matthew & Teresa Mize Future Plans: Attend Indiana Wesleyan University to major in athletic training on a physical therapy track with the goal of working as a pediatric physical therapist 4-H Club: Chester Champs 4-H Projects: Fine Arts, Make With A Mix, General Crafts 4-H Grows Creativity: Within her 4-H career, Emily has learned how important creativity is. “Many of my 4-H projects incorporate creativity in some form. It’s been important for me to learn to become as creative as I can. I’ve been able to express my own ideas through my 4-H projects. One example would be my Make With A Mix project. My creativity in how I presented my dish helped me win.” Emily believes creativity will help her in the future. “I’m in an AP art class, so it is important for me to be creative within my class so I can produce the best artwork and do well on my AP exam. This fall, I will begin college and I want to be an athletic trainer. This is a career that requires me to use creativity, so I know this skill is going to help me for the rest of my life.”

Attie Schuler School: Northfield Parents: Scott & Kelly Schuler Future Plans: Study illustration at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design 4-H Club: Tip Top 4-H Projects: Swine, Photography, Fine Arts, Queen Pageant 4-H Grows Teamwork:Attie says the Swine project helped her develop teamwork during her time in 4-H. “My siblings and I have to work together to walk, wash, and feed our pigs. We try to help each other out, and we have to plan accordingly when there are lots of pigs but only so much space to wash and walk. We really have to be a team because if we argue and complain, things won’t get done properly.” Attie also learned teamwork at the Queen Pageant. “During the Queen Pageant, all of the girls gave each other advice on interviews, outfits, makeup, etc. It was really fun to be in an atmosphere where there was a group of girls who were able to hang out, lift each other up, and just have a fun time. The group grew closer as we attended different workshops, parades, and rehearsals, and I still have so many good friends and memories from that experience,” Attie says.

Heagys celebrate 50 years of marriage John and Carolyn (Neeley) Heagy will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with a family dinner. The couple was married on July 6, 1968 at Claypool United Brethren (now known as

Officials urge care when swimming this summer that anyone going into the water have basic swimming skills and that children be supervised in and near water. Children should wear life jackets around natural bodies of water, even if they know how to swim. Drowning isn’t the only danger swimming can pose. Each year, Indiana sees an average of 190 cases of Cryptosporidium, a parasite that can cause a respiratory and gastrointestinal illness that primarily involves watery diarrhea with or without a persistent

From the ISDH

I N D I A NA P O L I S — The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) is reminding Hoosiers to protect themselves from illness and injury in pools, lakes and other bodies of water. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an average of 10 people die in the U.S. each day from unintentional drowning. In Indiana, 114 people died of drowning last year. The CDC advises

c o u g h . Cryptosporidium can survive for days even in properly chlorinated pools. “We all share the water we swim in,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “Swimmers should take simple steps to protect themselves, their friends and their family from illness and injury when heading to the water this summer.” To reduce the risk of contracting or transmitting a recreational water illness, swim-

and the child’s after the diaper change. Hoosiers who spend time in natural bodies of water should avoid swimming if a bluegreen algal bloom is present and after a rain event because rain can wash contaminants like sewage overflows and animal feces into the water. Trash, animal waste and boat waste should be disposed of in designated areas. Natural bodies of

water also can contain organisms that can lead to illness, including Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba commonly found in soil and warm freshwater that in rare cases can cause a deadly brain infection. To reduce the risk of exposure, swimmers should avoid warm freshwater when the water temperature is high and the water level is low, avoid putting their head under water and hold their

nose shut or use nose clips. Swimmers also should take precautions to prevent sunburn and heat-related illnesses by applying sunscreen often and drinking plenty of fluids. Swimmers experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, fever, muscle weakness or difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.

mers should: Avoid swallowing the water. Shower before and after getting in the water and thoroughly dry ears after swimming. Avoid urinating or defecating in the water. Stay out of the water if experiencing diarrhea and for two weeks after symptoms stop. Check diapers and change them in a bathroom or diaper changing area, not poolside, and wash your hands

As summer approaches and boaters prepare to get on the water, the Indiana Department of Natural Resource reminds you to: “Clean. Drain. Dry.” Cleaning, draining and drying your boat helps prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS). AIS are non-native aquatic animals, plants, microorganisms and pathogens that can hurt native aquatic plants and wildlife, harming the

environment, human health and businesses. They arrive in a variety of ways, including on trailers, on boat hulls and motors, on fishing gear and through the pet trade. “The best way for boaters to help protect our waters is by following the ‘Clean-DrainDry’ message,” said Eric Fischer, aquatic invasive species coordinator for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. Clean: When leaving the water, clean all equipment that touched the water. This

includes watercraft hulls, trailers, shoes, waders, life vests, engines and other gear. Remove all visible plants, algae, animals and mud. Drain: Drain accumulated water from watercraft or gear, including live wells and transom wells, before leaving the ramp or public access point. Dry: Once home, let all gear dry for five days or more before using it in a different water body. Some of the worst aquatic invasive species in other states have yet to be

found in Indiana, according to Fischer, and the state wants to keep it that way. Finally, remember that dumping bait or unwanted aquarium or terrarium pets can introduce invasive species to waterways. Dispose of all unused bait in a trash can instead of dumping it into the water or on the shore. “Your diligence will help ensure that the next generation of Hoosiers can experience the same water activities that you enjoy,” Fischer said.
