THE PAPERMSD of Wabash County to seek publicinput on potential schedule change

into a balanced calen-dar,” Dr. Weavere x p l a i n e d .“Communities haveusually shown a hesi-tation to the change,but more recentlyyou’ve started to seemore schools makingthe switch.”Ultimately, Dr.

Weaver stated herintent is not to pushfor any form ofchange in the sched-ule, but to offer par-ents the option tochoose the calendarthey feel best suits thecommunity and theirstudents.

“I really want toknow what peoplethink,” Dr. Weaversaid. “It is 180 days ofschool no matter whatcalendar we go for-ward with. We want tofigure out what doesthe community want,and what works bestfor the students? Iknow that change isalways difficult, andright now I’m notadvocating one way orthe other.”Despite popular

belief, the change inschedule results in noincrease in studentachievement accord-

ing to studies Dr.Weaver hasresearched. “If therewas any form ofresearch showing stu-dents did any betteron a balanced sched-ule, I’d be leading thefight,” Dr. Weaverstated. “As it is, I’mfine with what thecommunity and theschool board decide. Iwant what’s best forthe kids.”After the board

votes on the 2012-2013schedule at the Jan. 24board meeting, Dr.Weaver and her staffwill post a survey on

the corporation’s web-p a g e ,www.msdwc.k12.in.us, seeking input fromthe community at thelocal level. “The calendar

being voted on at theJan. 24 meeting willhave very littlechanges from the cur-rent calendar,” Dr.Weaver pointed out.“If public input issuch that a balancedschedule is favored,the earliest we couldimplement that is the2013-2014 school year.”Currently, there is a

by Brent SwanCurrently, on the

MSD of WabashCounty’s Interneth o m e p a g e ,www.msdwc.k12.in.us, there is a survey par-ents have the option ofcompleting, whichseeks public opinionto potential school cal-endar changes at thestatewide level.Although the sur-

vey was not createdwith the MSD ofWabash County inmind, nor will it affectthe future of the MSDcalendar, initial feed-back to the survey hasled MSD of WabashCounty superintend-ent, Dr. SandraWeaver, to offer par-ents and students analternative option tothe more traditionalschedule the schoolcorporation currentlyoperates under.“I have shared the

results of the surveywe currently have onour website with myadministrative teamas we are gettingresults in intermit-tently,” Weaver said.“I’ve started to hearback from some peo-ple, ‘Are you consider-ing a balanced calen-dar for a differentyear?’ To them I havesaid that I’m open tothe discussion andI’m curious to hearwhat they have to sayregarding the issue.”A balanced sched-

ule has subtle differ-ences than that of thecurrent scheduleMSD parents havegrown accustomed to.By starting earlier inthe year, usually moretowards the begin-ning of August, stu-dents receive longerbreaks throughoutthe year, while con-cluding the schoolyear about a weeklater than normal.Dr. Weaver cited the

Maconaquah SchoolCorporation as an

example of a balancedschedule MSD par-ents could use as aguide. According tothe MaconaquahSchool Corporationschedule, studentsbegan classes Aug. 2,2011, and receivedtheir Fall Break Oct.10. Maconaquah stu-dents received a two-week break from thatdate, whereas MSDstudents received asingle day. Students atMaconaquah were outof school forChristmas break fromDec. 23 – Jan. 4, whilethe MSD of WabashCounty students wereout from Dec. 19 – Dec.30.With a balanced

schedule, one of thelarger changes is thetiming of SpringBreak. For the 2011-2012 school year, MSDstudents will be out ofschool from March 30until April 6; atMaconaquah, thebreak is pushed for-ward, but will run afull two weeks fromMarch 19 until March30.The school year

concludes atMaconaquah with thelast student day onMay 31, while theMSD of WabashCounty’s last studentday is May 23. Thesummer break forMaconaquah studentsruns eight weeks. Despite the changes

in breaks, the funda-mental makeup ofboth schedulesremains the same –students must com-plete 180 days.A l t h o u g hMaconaquah andRochester are now uti-lizing the balancedschedule, Dr. Weaverpointed outHuntington Schoolsrecently voted down aproposed shift to thebalanced schedule. “ H i s t o r i c a l l y,

Rep. RebeccaKubacki released thefollowing statementregarding GovernorMitch Daniels’ Stateof the State address: “ G o v e r n o r

Daniels’ final Stateof the State addressspoke to the poten-tial of vast job cre-ation - despite ournation’s lethargiceconomy. Our greatfiscal standing,transparency to ourcitizens and tax-

friendly business cli-mate has positionedIndiana for unparal-leled economicgrowth. We have a lotof critical measuresin place to bringmore jobs to Indiana,but we are missingthe last importantpiece: a Right-to-Work law. This law ispro-freedom, pro-jobs and pro-worker.No worker should beforced to pay uniondues as a condition

of employment.Indiana’s economy isfaring better thanmost, but we cannotbecome complacentas 9 percent ofHoosiers struggle tomake ends meet onthe unemploymentline. “I am working tire-

lessly to give employ-ers and employeesall of the necessarytools to foster growthand prosper in this

dynamic, globaleconomy. Putting theright economic toolsin the toolbox ofHoosier entrepre-neurs and workerswill equip them withthe means to suc-ceed. With the eyes ofthe nation fixed onIndiana, it’s time tocapitalize on ourunheralded poten-tial.”

One BeautifulSummer Day

by RachaelGodfroy

I remember thatmorning when thesunlight streamedthrough the win-dows and the dew onthe green grasssparkled from therising sun. It was thestart of a beautifulsummer’s day. Myhusband had alreadygone to work. In hisusual busy rush, hekissed our familygoodbye and dashedout the door, tryingnot to spill his coffeeon the way out. I remember that

morning; the kidsawoke on their ownterms. Refreshed andbrimming with life,they began their nor-mal morning rituals.I had already placedtheir bowls of cerealon the table accom-panied with a cup oforange juice. My twooldest sons, Ben,seven years old, andAshton, six, hadplanned to have anoutdoor adventure inour backyard. Icouldn’t believe howtheir imaginationscould create suchcarefree reality intheir make-believeworlds. I enviedthem as they slurpedthe milk from theircereal bowls, eyesfixated on the win-dow and the adven-ture that awaited

them.I remember that

morning, my five-year-old, Alice, hadgotten up late andhad sat at the tablewith sleepy eyes. Herbedraggled hair wasin curly knots fromtossing and turningthat night. She lis-tened intently as theboys rehearsed theirplans for the day.Finished, the boysquickly took theirdirty plates to thesink and hurriedupstairs to dress.Alice’s eyes glis-tened with excite-

ment as she hurriedto catch up with herolder brothers.Before she could exitthe kitchen I askedher if she would liketo stay indoors withmommy and bakesome brownies forlunch, but she quick-ly refused and fol-lowed the boys upthe stairs.I remember that

morning I was clean-ing the house as theboys ran out theback door. LittleAlice was having ahard time keepingup with the boys.They were dressed intheir old jeans andworn tennis shoesready for a day full offun. I watched themfrom the window asthey happily jumpedon the trampolinethat completed theplayfulness of ourbackyard. The geeseon the pond glared atthe children for dis-turbing the peace,but quickly forgotabout the pesteringlaughter and contin-ued their bathing. Iwatched them for awhile as they joyful-ly bounced, then con-tinued my workaround the house.I remember that

morning: The kidshad been playingoutside for hours. Ioccasionally checkedon them and to myrelief all three wereaccounted for. Theboys were chasingeach other aroundthe playhouse myhusband had builtlast summer. Thechildren thought itwas a marvelousconstruction. Alicewas sitting in thesandbox, her hair

covered in small par-ticles of sand.Satisfied that all waswell, I continued mytidying up of thehouse.I remember that

morning when I firstheard the screams.They were faint atfirst then grew loud-er and more frantic.Alarmed, I ran to thewindow. Ashton wasstanding on the bankof the pond scream-ing as Ben ran andjumped into thepond. He was swim-ming toward a smallhead that was bob-bing in the waterwhere arms wereflailing and waterwas splashing end-lessly. My heartpounded against mychest as I realizedwhat horrific scenewas taking place.Alice was drowning. Without hesita-

tion, I threw the dooropen and sprintedthrough our back-yard to the pond. Thescreams were grow-ing louder and thesplashing wasbecoming weaker. Ishouted my daugh-ter’s name but shedidn’t answer mycall. Panic floodedmy mind as no replyanswered my shouts.Ashton stood on thebank, trembling withfear, tears sliding

down his cheeks. Hiswails encouraged mylegs to run faster. Coming closer to

the pond, I could seeBen struggling tokeep his little sisterabove the water’ssurface. I saw himgasp for air before heplunged back underto hold his sister up.Running straightinto the water, Icould feel adrenalinepumping into myveins. My clothesdragged me down asI struggled to reachmy little girl. Hereyes were wide withfear and her armsthrashed at thewater like it was aterrifying monsterthat wanted to con-sume her. I swam asfast as my heavyclothing would allow.My feet could nolonger touch and myown energy waswaning. Alice didn’t see me

as I snatched herinto my arms as shecontinued to kickand pummel the sur-rounding water.With what energy Ihad left, I pulled herarms over my shoul-ders and swam backto the shallow bank.Fatigued, I rolled thelittle body off myback and laid her onthe muddy bank. Hercoughing was a

sound of relief.Gagging pond water,Alice clung to myarm in dying panic.She was safe. I felttears of joy and tearsof realization well inmy eyes of whatcould have hap-pened. But Ashton had

not stopped crying.His weak cries hadbegun to sound likeshrieks of horror.Turning to face theshrieking noise, Ifound why my sonwas so upset. Mywhole body wentnumb and my heartsplintered into athousand pieces.I remember that

morning, when mychild drowned in myown pond. Ben musthave thought hecould save his sister;he was not strongenough to keep him-self and his pan-icked sibling afloat.Ben’s body floatedface down in themurky pond waterthat was once anentertainment to myfamily, but now itwould serve as a mis-erable reminder ofwhat it had takenfrom me. My son,Ben, had sacrificedhis life so that his lit-tle sister could live. I had always

planned to sign ourkids up for swim les-

sons at our local Y.With the hectic paceof life we never tookthe time to schedulethe lessons. Isn’t itironic that some-thing as simple asswim lessons couldhave saved my son’slife?On average, nine

families per dayexperience the painof losing a familymember to drown-ing. In the U.S., fataldrowning remainsthe second-leadingcause of uninten-tional injury-relateddeath for childrenages one to 14 years(CDC 2005). TheWabash CountyYMCA has launchedan initiative to pro-vide every fourthgrader in WabashCity Schools withseven weeks ofwater safety educa-tion and swim les-sons. This effort wasmade possiblethrough supportfrom the WabashCounty United Fund.Efforts are beingmade to expand thisopportunity for stu-dents of MSD andadditional grade lev-els. For more infor-mation on how youcan enroll your childin swim lessons call260-563-9622. Thenext session of les-sons begins Feb. 20.

YMCA to submitseries of articlesthroughout 2012Over the course of 2012, the Wabash

County YMCA will submit a series ofarticles to run in The Paper. According to Patty Godfroy, Wabash

County YMCA marketing director,“We rush through life trying to do thebest we can and occasionally we missopportunities to take action on whatis most important in life. Over 2012The Y will share stories that touch

your heart and move you to action.”

Dear editor,I was mentally re-

reading my letterwhich ran in a priorissue of The Paper,and two questionspopped into my clut-tered mind: Wheredid the trucks comefrom and how did thefood get in them? Igasped in dismaywhen I realized I had-n’t told you and yourreaders about threevery important char-acters in our awesomestory. They are sort oflike the DickensChristmas ghosts – noone sees them, but meand sometimes I onlyhear their voices.They silently dowhat’s asked and thensome, but withoutthem our Food BasketProject wouldn’t bewhat it is. Let meexplain.

George at Aldiorders out groceries,has it stacked on skisand ready to go whenDan Schuler formHipsher Tool and Diearrives with theirtruck to load it andbring it to the church.Dan’s like a phantom– no one sees him. Thetruck magicallyappears full of food.We unload it andthen, just as magical-ly, it disappears. Butwe’re so thankful forhim and his willing-ness to help, trulybehind the scenes.Thank you Dan andHipsher Tool and Die.Kim Poole is the

third ghost, if youwill – we talk backand forth, order themeat and potatoes –the fellows there loadand unload tons offood and deliver it to

the church. I maycatch a glimpse ofthem early in the dayor possibly late after-noon. But everyonecheers when the meatarrives and everyoneis exhausted when thetrucks leave empty.Thank you, PooleFoods. The WildTurkey Federationpitches in with timeand dollars as do thePork Producers ofWabash County. Soyou see, your readersreally do need to havethe rest of the story.Christmas is past, thenew year is upon usand I’m so thankfulfor all who participat-ed in this huge FoodBasket Project. MayGod bless you all.

North Manchester Chamber ofCommerce invites area residentsto Annual Chamber Dinner

Dear editor,I am writing to let

you know how appre-ciative I am of theentire staff of theWabash CountyHospital. I recentlywas admitted therefor a surgical proce-dure. Actually, thefirst time I wasadmitted for surgeryin early December, Ibegan having chestpain as I was beingprepped by threevery capable nurses.I told them I was feel-ing very sick andhaving this pain inmy chest. The rest isonly a blur until Iwas being loadedinto an ambulancefor transport toParkview Hospital,Fort Wayne. I wastold later that I wasin ICU for severalhours until I was sta-bilized for that trans-port. I might men-tion here that Dr. JeffMiller rode alongwith me on thatt r a n s p o r t .Something he cer-tainly was under noobligation to do. Heis a very special sur-

geon and Wabash isvery fortunate tohave him. Afterspending threenights and four daysin Fort Wayne andreceiving a heartcatheterization, itwas determined thatI would be able to goahead with the sur-gery. The cause ofthe pain was severedehydration, etc. Myblockages were mini-mal.So on Dec. 22, I

returned to WabashCounty Hospital toprepare for the sur-gery once again,doing the prep forthat surgery in thehospital with IV’s,etc. From themoment I was admit-ted, everyone withinthe hospital mademe feel like I wastheir only patient.From the wonderfulladies who sothoughtfully andrespectively cleanedmy room each daywith a cheery “GoodMorning” to thedietary staff whomade sure I had justwhat I needed, to the

excellent nursingstaff who cared formy every need at theinstant I needed itand sometimesbefore I ever calledthem, I could nothave asked for bettercare. I am not sayingI did not receive goodcare at Parkview inFort Wayne, but itjust wasn’t the samepersonal, immediate,loving tender carethat I received herein my hometownhospital. I hesitate tomention names onlybecause I don’t wantto leave anyone out.Everyone on the sec-ond floor, of eachshift, was there tohelp me at somepoint. I also don’twant to forget tomention the surgicalstaff who also easedmy fears and thosein the recovery roomas well as my won-derful anesthesiolo-gist, Dr. Khan.By the time I was

released six dayslater, on Dec. 27, I feltlike I had newfriends that I defi-nitely wanted to

come back to visit. Iwasn’t just a “num-ber” in this hospital.I was a real personthat the staff actual-ly cared about. Thesepeople put in long 12-hour shifts and theystill do their jobswith such care anddignity even duringthe Christmas holi-days, when I’m surethey would rather behome with their ownfamilies.I only wish I had

the words to ade-quately explain justhow much better itwas, when you aregoing through some-thing like this, espe-cially duringChristmas, to haveloving, caring peoplethere to care for youthe way the staff ofthe Wabash CountyHospital does.Thank you all

again for making mytime at the hospitalmuch more tolerablejust because youcared.

Indiana conserva-tion officers recentlyarrested Tracy Coates,38, Syracuse, for multi-ple deer hunting viola-tions in KosciuskoCounty. IndianaConservation OfficerNathan Hooleyreceived informationon Jan. 2 at approxi-mately 9:45 p.m. thatCoates had just shot ata large buck deer fromthe roadway in the areaof Bowser Road and CR375 E. Coates did nothave permission tohunt the land wherethe buck was located.Hooley was confidentthat Coates would bereturning later in theevening to retrieve thedeer.Hooley began

patrolling the area andobserved Coates’s vehi-cle near the scenearound 11 p.m. Hooleywas assisted at thescene by IndianaConservation OfficerDustin Whitehead andofficers from Syracuse

Police Department.Hooley and Whiteheadobserved two menwalking in the corn-field a short time laterand acting as if theywere looking for thedeer. Hooley confront-ed Coates in the corn-field and Coates initial-ly told Hooley he waslooking for a deer hisgirlfriend had struckwith a car. Upon fur-ther questioning,Coates admitted toshooting the buck deerfrom the roadway.Coates stated he andhis girlfriend hadobserved the deerwhile driving homefrom a nearby friend’shouse. Coates thendropped off his girl-friend and returned tothe area with his muz-zleloader rifle. Hefound the deer againand rolled down hiswindow and shined hisspotlight on the deerwith one hand while herested his gun on hiswindow and shot at thedeer with the other. Coates then

returned home andcalled a friend to helphim retrieve the deer.The friend was notcharged in this case.Coates admitted to hav-ing already harvestedan antlered deer thisseason therefore hisattempt to take anotherantlered deer put himin violation of the one

buck rule per season.Coates’s fish andwildlife criminalrecord indicates he hasprior convictions forsimilar offenses in 2001and 2004. Hooleycharged Coates withsix misdemeanor viola-tions and seized hismuzzleloader and spot-light for evidence. Hooley and

Whitehead could notlocate the deer thatevening, however, theydid observe blood andevidence indicatingCoates had hit the deer.Officers returned thenext morning andlocated the buck. Thebuck was still alive andable to run away fromthe officers enoughthat it was not neces-sary to put the deerdown. It is hoped thedeer will recover fromits’ wounds. Hooley would like to

make it clear that vio-lations such as this areboth dangerous to thepublic and more oftenthan not result inwounded deer notbeing recovered. Pleasedo your part to helpIndiana conservationofficers protect ourresources. If youobserve a violation,call your local lawenforcement depart-ment or the Turn In aPoacher line at 1-800-TIP-IDNR.

MSD of Wabash County... (continued from front page)bill in the state legis-lature, Senate Bill 236,authored by StateSenator Mike Delph(R-Carmel) that ifpassed will mandateschools begin classesafter Labor Day andend before June 10beginning with the2014-2015 school year.If passed, any calen-dar the MSD utilizes,traditional or bal-anced, would beforced to follow thoseguidelines.“It has been my con-

tention all along, thatthe decision of aschool calendarshould be a local deci-sion, determined bythe local schoolboards and not thelegislation at the statelevel,” Dr. Weaversaid. “My goal is toget a county-wide cal-endar. I don’t carewhere the 180 daysfall, as long as thesemester ends beforeour kids leave for win-ter break. That’simportant to me. I

don’t want kids tohave to worry aboutfinals or term papersover ChristmasBreak.”Beginning with the

2012-2013 calendars,the MSD of WabashCounty and WabashCity Schools took thefirst step in a county-wide calendar. “Nextyear’s calendar wasdone in conjunctionwith Wabash CitySchool Corporation,so Wabash City and

MSD schools willoperate under thesame calendar,” Dr.Weaver explained.“We’d like to addmore schools to that,because of HeartlandCareer Center. Thischange to a balancedschedule is a buzz inthe state with otherschool systems, but Ifirmly believe thisdecision, whatevercalendar we make,should be a local deci-sion.”

extremely fortunateto have had theunlikely chance ofmeeting with Austinand being able to offerthis service to oursmall community.“We’re pretty excit-

ed about reaching ourcommunity becausenot all communitiesgot this opportunity,”Ed said. “This is

something that Iknow this communityneeds very badly.”In order to tap into

this need, the Gullettsare working alongsidethe Dallas WinchesterSenior Center, VernonManor and variousother organizationsin Wabash.“Right now we’re

just getting antsybecause we’ve got allour feelers out andwe’re waiting on thatphone to ring and peo-ple to come throughthe door so we can getthe process rolling,”Teresa said.The Gulletts are

They expe-rienced the discoveryof a shell with a liveanimal inside of itamong the shells onthe beach. The stu-dents discovered thatpalm trees, not mapletrees, grow near thebeach. They heard thegrandparents talkabout how “cold” itwas in Florida thatday - only 65 degrees!They ended their vir-tual field trip bytelling severalpassers-by on thebeach “Hi”. It was anexperience made pos-sible by technologythat many of themwill never forget.

tions such as theChamber ofCommerce, RotaryClub and city schools.And Sprenger is com-mitted to supportingorganizations thatraise money for dis-eases that affect thelocal community.“The Sprenger

organization is look-ing forward to becom-ing part of theMishawaka commu-nity,” said ScottSprenger, president ofSprenger Health CareSystems. “Our part-nership withMainstreet is the cata-lyst to bringing ahigher standard inhealth care and reha-bilitation to Indianaand the residents weserve.”Providing health-

care for a variety ofshort-term and long-term needs,Mainstreet offersguests concierge-based health care in ahotel-like atmos-phere. Mainstreet’sn e x t - g e n e r a t i o ndesign includes multi-ple social destina-tions, restaurant-styledining, spacious pri-
