Stephanie drove while her husband sat in the very back, and the family headed towards a lake near Warsaw. About an hour into the drive, Kurt looked up and saw a vehicle cross the centerline and into their path. Stephanie saw it too, but there was little she could do. The vehicle was moving too fast. “Watch out,” yelled Kurt, “they are going to hit us.” Stephanie swerved, but it was too late. The vehicle collided into theirs in the front of the driver’s side. The van rolled into a ditch. Immediately, Kurt thought of his wife. The vehicle hit right where she was. “Is Stephanie alive?” he asked. Stephanie was fine. She only suffered a few minor injuries from glass. She searched for her phone to call the police, but she had no signal. “Does anyone need help in here?” said a stranger’s voice from outside. “Yes, yes we do,” said Stephanie. Kurt already knew there was something wrong with his legs when he arrived to the hospital. They had been tingling since the van started rolling. He was flown to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne where he spent 15 days in the ICU. Then he was transferred to Select Specialty at St. Joseph’s Hospital where he spent anoth- er 30 days. On July 31, he was transferred to Lutheran’s Rehabilitation Hospital. Kurt finally got to go home on Sept. 13. During the hospital stay, Kurt underwent surgery on the front and back of his neck, which was dislocated in the accident. His spine was also dislo- cated. He had multi- ple blood transfu- sions, and a tracheoto- my. While at the reha- bilitation hospital, Kurt went through intense three-hour therapy six days a week to help strength- en his arms. They also worked on intense balance thera- py to strengthen the stomach area. Kurt said that therapy was so intense and con- centrated that it took all this strength for the rest of the day. At home, Kurt con- tinues to do therapy three days a week for two hours. He is now able to do some daily tasks such as brush his teeth, eat and shave on his own with the help of a band around his hand.

They have installed ramps into the home, turned a closet into a shower, widened door- ways to be 36 inches, and changed the com- puter room into Kurt’s room where carpet had to be replaced with tiles.

Rezoning talks stall...continued from front pageMeadowbrook andColonial Heritagenamely. The intent ofR-4 is to provide forhigh density, multifamily apartments.”
Fisher went on tostate that residentswere concerned aboutpotential flooding andthe possibility of alarge-scale apartmentcomplex similar toMeadowbrook beingconstructed in theirneighborhood.
“Once you move toR-4 status, you losethe restrictions thatare in place with an R-1 or R-2 property,”Fisher explained. “Ifthis goes through,whoever buys theproperty would havethe ability to buildanything they wantedunder the R-4 code.Once it is zoned, youlose control. The onlyway to stop it is toleave it the way it is.”
The possibility ofrezoning to R-4stemmed from a
development compa-ny that had expressedinterest in the lot areabehind the formerL.H. CarpenterSchool.
According toWabash City SchoolsSuperintendent JasonCallahan, the CitySchools were againforced to make budgetcuts in the year 2012.
“With the way ourbudget has been cutfrom the state level,you have to at leastconsider everyoption,” Callahansaid to the crowd. “Wesell off our old desksand office equipmentwe no longer use, andthis is another step intrying to make upsome of our losses.”
After hearing froma number of residentsin the crowd, no boardmember created amotion concerningthe measure, thusstopping the possibili-ty of rezoning to R-4.

the school boardapproved maternityleaves for LauraSigler and TabithaFairchild and accept-ed the resignation ofJulie Myers, O.J.Neighbours’ CafeteriaBookkeeper. LindaMiracle was thenapproved for a part-time position at theO.J. Neighbours’Cafeteria.

STOP, STOP,STOP, when you’regoing to Laketon. OnMonday, when every-one went to work,Laketon was the sameas always, but whenthey came home therewere two new stopsigns in place.Unfortunately therewas no warning thatthis was going to hap-pen. I heard there wasa petition goingaround but most peo-
ple I talked to had noIdea. It was probablya good idea to slowdrivers down whengoing throughLaketon, but therewere no warning flagsup like I see whenother places get a newstop sign. One of theresidents was stop-ping for the sign whena semi almost ranover them, and wehear tires squalling tostop.

Paul encouragesvoters to read“The Amateur”Dear editor,
I recently read ‘The Amateur,’ a brilliant and frightening book byEdward Klein. Using his interviews with more than 200 people, whointimately know Barack Obama from his earliest days, Klein has pre-sented a fascinating factual expose of our current president. Beloware three quotes from this book. Any person, who believes they areindebted to Obama, for any reason, should take time to read this eye-opening book before they step into the voting booth on Nov. 6.
Quote one: “Here in these interviews we come face to face withsomething new in American politics - The Amateur - a president whois inept in the arts of management and governance, who doesn’t learnfrom his mistakes, and who therefore repeats policies that make oureconomy less robust and our nation less safe.”
Quote two: “One nice thing about the situation I find myself in isthat I will be held accountable. You know, I’ve got four years. If I don’thave this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-termproposition,” - Barack Obama.
Quote three: “I’m troubled by rhetoric that pits people against eachother...We have never been a nation of haves and have-nots. We are anation of haves and soon-to-haves, of people who have made it andpeople who will make it. And that’s who we remain,” - United StatesSenator Marco Rubio.

The Wabash CountyDisabled AmericanVeteran volunteersneed help purchasinga new van to trans-port Wabash Countyveterans to their VAappointments. TheVA pays for the fueland maintenance, butwe have to supply thevehicle. The DAVbuys the vans througha cost-sharing planand donates them tothe VA. The VA, inturn, assigns the vehi-cle to the countywhere the money was
raised. We need$16,500. Over the lastyear, we have raisedlittle over $11,500towards the goal. Nowonly $2000 standsbetween the WabashCounty DAV and reli-able transportation.We have until Oct. 31if we are to take deliv-ery during 2013. NoWabash County taxdollars are involved.
The five WabashCounty DAV volun-teer drivers aretrained by the VA andare classed as uncom-
pensated employees.They are Herb Miller,C o u n t yCoordinator/driver,and drivers, ChrisCameron, John Boyer,Dave Richardson andTerry Brewer. Ourmonthly reports go tothe area DAV office atthe Marion VAHospital and are senton to the VoluntaryServices Coordinatorfor the Marion VA.
Many of our localveterans shave novehicle or have nobusiness driving in

We takeveterans to VA med-ical appointments atno charge to them sothey don’t have to paya neighbor or have afamily member taketime off work totransport them. We goto the VA Hospitals atMarion, Indianapolisand Fort Wayne andthe Peru Clinic. Wealso take veterans to

Dear editor,Our little village is
a very good place tostudy the effects ofeveryone doing their“fair share.” Even ifwe do not enjoy thesame national recog-nition recentlybestowed on Carmelor Fishers, NorthManchester is still anexcellent place to liveand we have plenty tobe proud of, and cer-tainly enough to bethankful for.
An outstandingpublic library, anextremely well attend-
Bolingerapplauds doingfair share
ed and popular sportscomplex, and now astate-of-the-art swim-ming pool and fitnesscenter are the mostvisible featuresadding to the livabili-ty of our town. If aperson will take thetime to look at a few ofthe plaques, or studythe history of thesefeatures, severalnames will becomevery evident: Peabody,Strauss, Blocher andShepherd for starters.
Without delvinginto the specific fig-ures used by the probig government advo-cates, my contentionis that if these peoplehad been taxed “theirfair share,” then it isdoubtful that any ofthem would have beenallowed to amass thewealth necessary tomake these improve-ments to our town.
A basic premisehere is that we havereason to think thatour little village isbetter off because ofthese accomplish-ments. And theseimprovements to ourtown were conceivedand carried out bycommon sense folkshere at home insteadof transferring all oftheir money toWashington D.C. to bespent in ways thatwould have notimpacted our town inthe positive way thesehave.
Yes, I firmly believethat many people andgovernment entitiesfeel they are far morecapable of properlyredistributing thefruits of our laborthan we are.

Page23 SRoser runs rampant over WildcatsNorthfield 27Whitko 21
By J.D. SparksAndy Roser carried the ball
34 times for 198 yards and apair of rushing touchdownsduring Northfield’s 27-21Three Rivers Conferencehome win over Whitko Friday.Norse Head Coach Tony
Uggen lauded the play of hisfeature running back.“Any time you carry the ball
that many times and not putthe ball on the ground, that’s ahuge plus,” Uggen said.“We thought he’d have a
pretty good night againsttheir defense. (Quarterback)Austin (Curless) also did agreat job reading their de-fense.”Curless also made a game-
changing play in the secondquarter.With Whitko marching,
Curless picked off an AlexStoddard pass and returned itto the 30-yard line. Later,Roser’s second rushing touch-down gave the Norse a 21-14lead on a 20-yard scoring run.“That was the big play that
probably changed the game,”Uggen said.“That gave us a short field
and we started to take over at

that point. We were able to holdthem on their next drive andscore, but then they came rightback, but we were able to hangon.”Earlier in the game, Roser
picked up a 36-yard touchdownrun to knot the score at 7-all with1:07 left in the first.Alec Wells scampered into the
end zone early in the secondquarter to put the Norse up 14-7,but Alex Stoddard’s second rush-ing touchdown of the game knot-
ted the score at halftime.Whitko came within one score
with an early touchdown in thefourth, but the Norse defensestiffened as Northfield took the27-21 win.“We didn’t turn the ball over
and they turned it over fivetimes, so any time you win theturnover margin by that amount,you’re in pretty good shape,”Uggen said.“I told the kids that if we didn’t
turn the ball over and if we won,
I’d give them Monday off. Consid-ering the conditions, I thoughtwe’d turn the ball over at leastonce. We didn’t. I’m really proudof the kids.”The victory marked North-
field’s first win over a non-Wabash County TRC opponentsince 1999 and marked Uggen’sfirst TRC victory.Austin Curless had 10 carries
for 41 yards and 2-of-6 passing for22 yards. Roser caught both ofCurless’s passes.
The Norse (2-4) now hostWabash (0-6) Friday night.“The big thing for us is to build
on that win now that we gotthrough the non-county part ofthe schedule,” Uggen said.“Usually, that’s the tougher
portion of the schedule. Now, wehave to knuckle down for themythical county championship.At times, all teams have beencompetitive and that makes itfun.”

Another four and outgave North Miami the ballagain with 3:30 left on the 48yard line. The Knight defense held,
forcing a punt and taking theball back with time left for adrive.

Apaches,Squires fall inTRC matchupsA damaged transformer cut Wabash’s game with
Tippecanoe Valley short Friday night at Alumni Field.An electrical problem with a transformer close to the
visiting-side bleachers caused the game to be called pre-maturely with the Apaches trailing 45-0 in the thirdquarter.Meanwhile, nine first-half points from Rochester was
all the Zebras needed, picking up a 9-6 win and spoilingManchester’s Homecoming.Here’s what happened:

Amid widespreadreports of dead deerbeing found aroundthe state, DNR deermanagement biolo-gist Chad Stewartsaid today that labo-ratory tests haveidentified a deadlyvirus as the culpritin four counties.
EHD, or epizootichemorrhagic dis-ease, was confirmedin samples collectedfrom dead deer inLaGrange, Miami,Morgan and Sullivancounties. In addi-tion, the State Boardof Animal Healthhas identified EHDat captive cervidfacilities in Adams,Marshall, Putnamand Vanderburghcounties and in cat-tle in Ripley County.
“Our list is over 40counties now whereit has been reportedor suspected indeer,” Stewart said.
Although citizenreports to the DNR ofdead deer were con-sistent with EHDepisodes of pastyears, Stewart wascautious until labtests were completein order to rule outthe possibility ofbluetongue, a diseasesimilar to EHD thataffects mainly sheepbut also cattle, goats,deer and other rumi-nants.
The final labreport was receivedthis week from theS o u t h e a s t e r nCooperative WildlifeDisease Study at theUniversity of
Georgia. Other sam-ples were tested atPurdue University.
The tests con-firmed two strains ofthe virus – EHD V-2and EHD V-6.
“Basically, 10 yearsago we didn’t havethe EHD V-6 strain inIndiana,” Stewartsaid. “It’s just recent-ly been documented,so it’s still relativelynew on the land-scape. It may be anexplanation for someof these harder hitpockets.”
In addition to thecounties where EHDis confirmed,Stewart said thevirus is suspected inreports of dead deerin Adams,B a r t h o l o m e w ,Brown, Cass,
Carroll, Clay,Crawford, Daviess,Dearborn, Decatur,Delaware, Dubois,Elkhart, Fayette,Franklin, Gibson,Hendricks, Henry,Jay, Jefferson,Jennings, Johnson,Knox, Lawrence,Marion, Monroe,Ohio, Owen, Parke,Perry, Pike, Porter,Posey, Putnam,Randolph, Ripley,Shelby, Spencer,S t e u b e n ,S w i t z e r l a n d ,Tippecanoe, Union,Vermillion andWarrick counties.
“If it’s not as badthis year as it was in2007, it’s gettingclose,” Stewart said,noting an outbreakfive years ago inwhich EHD was
reported in 59Indiana counties andconfirmed by labtests in 17.
“We did a lot moretesting and confirm-ing in 2007. This yearwe’re lying backbecause the tests areso expensive and weknow what it is.”
EHD is a non-con-tagious virus thatlikely affects white-tailed deer everyyear. Severity anddistribution of thedisease is highlyvariable and unpre-dictable. It typicallyoccurs during latesummer and earlyfall. There is evi-dence that outbreaksmay be worse duringdrought years.
EHD is not trans-mitted from deer to
deer but instead byflies commonlyknown as bitingmidges. Deer infect-ed with EHD mayappear depressed orfeverish. They oftenseek comfort in oraround water. Othersigns may includeblue-tinted tongueor eyes, ulcers onthe tongue,sloughed hooves, oran eroded dentalpad.
Hemorrhagic dis-ease is often fatal todeer, but some willsurvive the illness.Not every deer willcontract hemor-rhagic disease,which can be pres-ent or absent in anyarea. Death lossesduring an outbreakcan range from neg-
ligible to greaterthan 50 percent.Severe outbreaksrarely occur in sub-sequent years due toimmunity gatheredfrom previous infec-tions.
The onset of freez-ing temperaturesoften brings a sud-den halt to EHD out-breaks.
EHD is confirmedor suspected thisyear in at least 10other states: Illinois,Iowa, Michigan,Missouri, NewJersey, NorthCarolina, Ohio,Pennsylvania, SouthDakota andWisconsin.
Humans are not atrisk for contractinghemorrhagic dis-ease.
Lab tests tie deer deaths to EHD in four counties

I c o n a c yO r t h o p e d i cImplants, LLC, anorthopedic develop-er and manufactur-er, announced planstoday to expand itsoperations here, cre-ating up to 50 newjobs by 2015.
Iconacy, whichproduces and mar-kets a total hipreplacement system,invested $2.63 mil-
lion to lease, reno-vate and equip a newfacility at 4130Corridor Drive inWarsaw to house thecompany’s growingoperations. The50,000 square-footfacility opened itsdoors in August.
“Whether it is sci-entific research ormedical device man-ufacturing, Indianacontinues to providea vibrant life sciencesector for innovativecompanies likeIconacy to not onlygrow, but create afoundation for itsfuture success,” saidDan Hasler,Secretary ofCommerce and chiefexecutive officer ofthe IndianaE c o n o m i cD e v e l o p m e n tCorporation.
“The Iconacy fami-ly is honored to callthe orthopedic capi-tal of the world, inthe heartland ofAmerica, its home,”said Tom Allen, pres-ident and chief exec-utive officer ofIconacy. “With over100 years of richexperience and sea-soned talent inorthopedics, Warsawis the ideal strategicsetting for doingbusiness in thise n t r e p r e n e u r i a lendeavor focused onchanging the ortho-
pedic space. As thehealthcare land-scape changes overthe next three ormore years, we arepoised to be the nim-ble player in a mar-ket driven by dimin-ishing reimburse-ment and complexdistribution mod-els.”
Founded in 2009 inWarsaw, Iconacy wasformed by TomAllen, Dr. Roy Hori,Dr. W. Andrew Hodgeand Ann Harmanafter several ortho-pedic surgeons indi-cated they were inneed of a clinically-proven and economi-cally-priced hipimplant system.With plans to pro-duce all of its prod-ucts in the U.S., thecompany developsand manufactures a
total hip replace-ment system underthe trademark nameI-Hip and providesinstruments used byorthopedic surgeonsin the implantationprocess.
The IndianaE c o n o m i cD e v e l o p m e n tCorporation offeredIconacy OrthopedicImplants, LLC up to$575,000 in condi-tional tax creditsbased on the compa-ny’s job creationplans. These taxcredits are perform-ance-based, meaninguntil Hoosiers arehired, the companyis not eligible toclaim incentives.The city of Warsawapproved additionalproperty tax abate-ment at the requestof the KosciuskoE c o n o m i cD e v e l o p m e n tCorporation.
“With the found-ing of Depuy in 1895,Zimmer in 1926 andBiomet in 1977,Warsaw has estab-lished itself as aworld class commu-nity of orthopedicindustry excel-lence,” said WarsawMayor JosephThallemer. “Today, Iam pleased to wel-come IconacyOrthopedics withtheir line of hip,knee and shouldersystems, as ournewest innovator.Iconacy will join acommunity of ortho-pedic manufacturersand support indus-tries committed toimproving the quali-ty of life worldwidefor those sufferingfrom joint relateddisease and injury,s t r e n g t h e n i n gWarsaw’s reputationas the ‘OrthopedicCapital of theWorld.’”
Known as the“Orthopedic Capitalof the World,”Warsaw is home tothe headquarters ofsome of the world’slargest makers ofartificial joints andrelated surgicalinstruments. Thetotal economicimpact of KosciuskoCounty’s orthopedicestablishments onthe state was an esti-mated $3.7 billion in2009, nearly one per-cent of Indiana’stotal economic out-put, according to a2011 study releasedby the Kelley Schoolof Business and OrthoWorx.
