WORK IS UNDERWAY at the Mammoth-Hipskind Building located at the corner of Wabashand Canal streets. Martin Enterprises of Fort Wayne presented the lowest quote on the work,so they are completing the demolition of the building. Weather permitting, the firm expects tohave the building leveled by April 2. Mayor Robert Vanlandingham says it is still too soon tospeculate on what will fill the vacant space once the demolition is complete. In the meantime,the intersection of Wabash and Canal streets is operating as a four-way stop, as the stoplighthad to be removed. (photo by Danielle Swan)

Award is presented toone Indiana teachereach month duringschool months. Theaward is now in its

12th year.“It’s kind of unusu-

al for something likethis to go on for thatlong, but it’s been sopopular,” saidBlomquist. “Whodoesn’t want to recog-nize a good teacher?”Teachers are nomi-

nated for the award bytheir students atI n d i a n a ’ sNewsCenter’s web-site. Yenna was nomi-nated by her formerstudent, HeatherAmos, who is now themother of one ofYenna’s current stu-dents, Logan Arnold.Amos praised Yennafor being thoughtfuland taking the time toteach each student at

their own personallevel.“As I sit on the

other side of the tableat a parent-teacherconference, she focus-es on all the good inmy child,” Amos said.“She is a wonderfulteacher and shedeserves the GoldenApple Award.”Yenna’s 32-year

career withMetropolitan SchoolDistrict has taken herto three different ele-mentary schools,Roann, Southwoodand LaFontaine, andshe has experience inKindergarten, firstgrade, second grade,third grade and fifthgrade. The bulk ofher career was spentteaching third gradeat Southwood.“Teaching was a

career that justseemed right for me,”Yenna said. “Helpingchildren learn to lovelearning is importantto me.”Yenna says her

favorite part of beinga teacher is watchingher students get inter-ested in a topic andlearn about some-thing new.“One of my classes

is corresponding witha Peace Corps volun-teer in Belize, a for-mer third grade stu-dent of mine,Matthew Myers,”Yenna said. “They arebeing exposed to anew culture and loveinteracting with chil-dren who live inthatched houses andhunt gibnuts!“Another class is

writing to a local sol-dier Zachary Powellstationed in SouthKorea. Both classeshave penpals fromEngland so they maymake a life-longfriendship.”Yenna also enjoys

getting involved withstudents in summerclasses, Battle of theBooks and SpellBowl. Outside the

classroom, Yennaenjoys walking, read-ing and spendingtime with her family,and she is involvedwith the HoneywellCenter’s EducationalOutreach Program.Recipients of the

Golden Apple Awardare presented with aGolden Apple pen-dant, made speciallyfor this award byBradley GoughDiamonds. They alsoreceive a free cardetailing fromV o r d e r m a nVolkswagon and afree teeth whitening,which has a value of

“I was humbledand honored to benominated for theGolden AppleAward,” Yenna said.“Heather Amos andher son, Logan, havebeen a pleasure toknow. I am gratefulthey would go to thetrouble of nominat-ing me. Teaching thechild of a former stu-dent is a special bless-ing. It is wonderful tosee how well she has

done and what a fineboy she and her hus-band are raising.“Each year a group

of students enter myclassroom and theyare mine for ninemonths. They maymove on every year,but my kids stay inmy heart always.”The segment, which

friendships, it couldbe because of a bondof siblings. It may bebecause of a team-mate in the sportsarena or even a rivalthat you found therewas similar appeal. At the Wabash

County YMCA, wewitness relationshipbuilding daily. Veryclose bonds betweenpeople happen everyday through commonbehavior. Strong rela-tionships are madebetween individualsfrom very differentc i r c u m s t a n c e sbecause of a commonthread. People bondinside the YMCAdoors simplybecause of a commoninterest in a fitnessclass, or maybe par-ents become friendsbecause their kidsboth compete in youthbasketball or soccer. Asenior member bondswith a member of theYMCA frontline staff.A caring relationshipblossoms becauseboth have a commonbond. One caresenough to care aboutthe other individualthat sparks some-thing in the heart towant to becomeinvolved. It’s special!This week, we have

seen the culminationof a relationship - acaring relationshipthat ends profession-

ally between theIndianapolis Coltsand Peyton Manning.I am a lifelong Coltsfan. I remember theagony of Super BowlIII. I also rememberhow my boyhoodhero, Johnny Unitaswas treated at the endof his career inBaltimore when teamownership (the cur-rent owner’s father)didn’t have the profes-sionalism to meet thelegendary quarter-back face to face whenthe team decided tomove on from theUnitas era. A phonecall was all thatUnitas got. We’re talk-ing about a player inan era where the play-ers worked and livedin the city that theyplayed. They werebrick masons, insur-ance salesmen, facto-ry workers andmechanics by day andfootball players on theweekend. That is a farcry from what the lifeof a professional ath-lete is today. Thosemen paved the way forthe stars of today. As we all know, 14

years after the“Midnight MayflowerMove” fromBaltimore toIndianapolis and alarge percentage oflosing seasons, theColts drafted PeytonManning, a southern

boy with the kinds ofvalues and humilitythat we would wantour children toadmire and emulate.Was this kind of per-sonality too good to betrue? Probably, butthose of us who areeven just casualsports fans under-stand the way thatthis one man hasimpacted everyonefrom his teammates tothe trainers and officeworkers within theorganization, letalone the coaches andeven the owner, aswitnessed by theclassy departurepress conference onMarch 7. But morethan that, he changedthe landscape of cen-tral Indiana bothphysically and emo-tionally. He built rela-tionships with hisfans. He has alwaysdone what comes nat-ural to him. Becauseof his team and hisleadership on thefield, Indy hosted thisyear’s Super Bowl andshowcased Lucas OilStadium as well as aspruced upIndianapolis. But more impor-

tantly, he reminded usby his actions of goodold mid-western val-ues. He started a foun-dation that supportsprograms that pro-vide leadership and

growth of at-riskyouth called thePeyBack Foundation.That organization hasraised and distributedmore than $4.3 mil-lion since 1999. AnIndianapolis hospitalis named in his honor.This man haschanged the way thatwe look at athletesand celebrities in anage of reality TV andrude behavior. Why,because of the rela-tionships that he hascreated over an adultlife in Indiana. Whenan athlete of thismagnitude leaves anorganization duringhis career, it alwayshas a negative spin.Not this time. RickReilly, a nationallyknown sportswriterwrote this in his col-umn this week aboutManning: “Lastly,thank you for the wayyou left. Alwaysthought you’d go out aColt, and go out theway you wanted, butif it had to end thisway ‘I truly enjoyed

being your quarter-back’ is as good anexit line as I’ve heard.You made it soundlike it was an electedposition, an honor, ajob where you knewpeople were depend-ing on you. You wereright.”If Peyton Manning

can make that kind ofan impact, don’t youthink that we all cando the same here inWabash County?

That’s what we try todo at the YMCA. Joinus. If we all can helpto brighten one per-son’s day, maybechange one person’slife, wouldn’t it showthat relationshipsare valuable, maybemore valuable thanwe all can imagine.And over time,change the physicaland emotional land-scape of our WabashCounty home.

Relationshipshave strongpositive influ-ences

by Bill Barrows,YMCA senior pro-

gram directorLife is built on

relationships. It’s asimple statementthat is worth think-ing deeply about.Remember when youwere a child and afriend moved away?It doesn’t matter if itwas across town oracross the country. Itwas a major eventthat, even for a shorttime, was devastat-ing to you and maybeother members ofyour family. Wethrive on relation-ships. People buildrelationships in anumber of differentways. It could bethrough lifelong

State Sens. JimSmith (R-Charlestown) andBrandt Hershman(R-Buck Creek)recently championeda new policy initia-tive phasing-outIndiana’s inheri-tance tax. Both Senate and

House chambersapproved the finalversion of SenateEnrolled Act 293,which will now besent to the governor. “While other

states are raisingtaxes to account forlost revenue, Indianais lowering a tax,”Smith said. “This isan investment inIndiana’s future. Thetax weighs heavilyon Hoosier entrepre-neurs, employers,farmers, retirees andfamilies, and ourstate’s positive fiscalposition allows us toremove this burden.This is the first law Ichampioned forIndiana, and I mustsay, I am honored tohave played a role indoing away with thisform of double taxa-tion.”

“With this newlaw, we are makingthe state’s tax struc-ture fairer for thehardworking farm-ers, entrepreneurs,employers andretirees in Indiana,”Hershman said.“Citizens pay taxeson their assets whileliving, and thenupon their death, wetax those assetsagain. People workhard for their moneyand should not havepay this unjust tax.” In Indiana, an

inheritance incometax is levied againstheirs who receiveinheritances, notincluding spousesand charitableorganizations. Tax rates vary

depending on the

beneficiary’s rela-tionship with thedecedent. For exam-ple, children aretaxed at a lesser ratethan a distantcousin, who would inturn be taxed at alesser rate than afriend of thedeceased.The enrolled act

immediately raisesthe amount that isexempt from inheri-tance taxes from$100,000 to $250,000for the closest benefi-ciaries then works tophase the tax outcompletely through-out the next nineyears. Indiana Farm

Bureau called ontheir members tosupport efforts toeliminate the inheri-

tance tax, noting itsheavy impact on thestate’s farming com-munity. The Indiana

Chamber ofCommerce, IndianaM a n u f a c t u r e r sAssociation andNational Federationof IndependentBusiness also backefforts to kill the‘death tax.’

hold its initial 2012 meeting March 19, 6:30 p.m.,at the REMC building, 350 Wedcor Ave.,Wabash.

In the spring of2007, Jose Carrillo,his wife, Marisela,and their 18-month-old daughter, Nayeli,planned a road trip toMexico to visit family.As part of theirpreparations, theyhad their sport utilityvehicle looked overand serviced at BoiseTire Company, anauto service businessin their hometown ofBoise, Idaho.“The family took

their SUV to BoiseTire Companybecause they hadreceived a couponmailer advertising atire check and rota-tion,” said EmilyGuenin-Hodson, alocal Wabash Countylawyer and one of theattorneys for theCarrillo family.About six hours

into their family trip,on a straight, flatstretch of highway inthe deserts of Nevada,

the right rear tire ontheir Dodge Durangocame off. The SUVspun out of controland rolled severaltimes before comingto rest several yardsfrom the highway. Marisela, who just

moments before, hadclimbed into the backseat to attend to her18-month-old, wasejected from the vehi-cle and shortly afterdied from herinjuries. Jose suffered

severe head, back,shoulder and arminjuries; he is nolonger able to work.Nayeli was not physi-cally injured, but wasemotionally scarred.She immediatelyexperienced severesetbacks in her sleep-ing, talking, pottytraining and her over-all personality. At the time the

wheel broke off fromthe Carrillo vehicle, achurch bus was trav-

eling back from a mis-sion trip in Tijuana,Mexico. The adultswith the youth groupoffered first aid,including CPR. Thechildren in the youthgroup gave theirnewly purchasedblankets from Mexicoto comfort the injuredfamily. Soon after the

crash, Jose and Nayelisued Boise TireCompany, allegingnegligence andwrongful death due tothe improper rotationof the tires. After twoyears of litigation, aBoise, Idaho, juryagreed that the tirecompany was not onlynegligent, but reck-less. The law in thestate of Idaho places acap, or maximumamount, on the non-economic damages aperson can recoverfor actions of negli-gence. However, thiscap does not applywhen negligentactions rise to thelevel of willful orreckless misconduct.This cap does notexist in Indiana and itis a fundamental dif-ference in the proce-dure followed byjuries in the twostates’ determinationof damages.The jury awarded

the Carrillos approxi-mately $3.5 million.Jose was awardedmore than $1 million;Nayeli was awardedmore than $1 million;and the balanceapplied to the wrong-ful death claim of

Marisela.“That’s not much

money when you gothrough what thisfamily has gonethrough, when youlose your wife, andwhen you lose yourmom at such a veryyoung age. This was aterrible, avoidabletragedy,” said MarkGuenin, another ofthe Carrillo familyattorneys.Shortly after the

crash that occurrednearly five years agoon April 1, 2007,Attorneys MarkGuenin and EmilyGuenin-Hodson ofWabash were contact-ed by Carrillo familyrelatives living inWabash County.Attorneys Gueninand Guenin-Hodsonand their office -Guenin Law Office,P.C. - immediatelybecame involved inthe investigation ofthe crash and thelegal representationof the Carrillo family.The crash investiga-tion required multi-ple trips to Nevadaand Idaho, as well assecuring experts inKentucky, Colorado,Idaho, California andIllinois. In addition toconducting the trialfor four days in Boise,Idaho, Guenin andG u e n i n - H o d s o nreturned to Idaho inSeptember of 2011 toargue the case beforethe Idaho SupremeCourt. Boise, Idahoattorney Guy Hallamof Kormanik, Hallamand Sneed assisted in

the trial of this case. So what happened

that caused the rightrear tire of theCarrillo family’s SUVto come off resultingin the death of ayoung child’s motherand the permanentdisability of herfather? Metallurgyand engineeringexperts who testifiedat trial for theCarrillo family saidthe wheel’s lug nutswere over-tightened,causing some of thebolts to break off atthe shop and others tobreak off when thefamily was on theroad. One expert testi-fied at trial that thetire technician thatserviced the Carrillovehicle would havevisibly seen the bro-ken bolt in his torquewrench. “The judgment,

which will be paid byBoise Tire’s insur-ance company, notonly helps compen-sate this family, andin particular this lit-tle girl for the loss ofher mother, it alsodemonstrates that alarge company canstill be held account-able for its negligenceand recklessness,”said AttorneyGuenin. “Boise Tirewas wrong. It waswrong in its lack oftraining, its lack ofsupervision, and itsgeneral lack of caringfor the safety of itspaying customers. Weare glad we had theopportunity to helpthis family.”

by Brent SwanIn just his second

season at the helm,Bremen WrestlingHead Coach ShawnCampbell has been ableto accomplish whatmany can only hope of– coaching an individ-ual state champion.Campbell, the son oflong-time Northfieldhead coach and mem-ber of the IHSWCAHall of Fame, BillCampbell, said this sea-son has been one toremember.“Everything I’ve

been able to do up hereat Bremen is a directresult of what my dadhas taught me over theyears,” the youngerCampbell, a 1988 grad-uate of NorthfieldHigh School said. “Myparents have been sosupportive - I can prob-ably count on one handhow many of the

matches they havemissed.”That support has

helped Campbell turn aBremen squad fresh offa two-win season to 17-12 in 2012, the school’sfirst winning seasonsince 2003. In additionto the improved record,Campbell has been ableto persuade footballplayers to take to themats in the winter.“This year has been

one of the better years,record wise as a team,that Bremen has had ina few years,” Shawnsaid. “A lot of our guyshad a late start to theseason as 10 of our 14varsity wrestlers hadplayed football thisyear.” Despite being

thrown into the fireearly, Campbell wasable to get his teamtogether in time fortheir first match at

Elkhart Central. “From the beginning

of the season, youcould see we had a goodgroup of guys, and thatstemmed in large partto Abraham (Hall),”Campbell explained.Hall, who last year

finished 38-7, wasouted in the openinground of the 2011 statefinals by eventualthird-place finisherDaniel Meyer ofBellmont. This year,however, Hall set hissights on the state titlefrom the beginning.“During that first

week of practice, I did-n’t know if Abe wouldbe able to wrestle inthat first match againstElkhart Central,”Campbell said. “Hewas an All-State defen-sive lineman and waspretty banged up fromfootball.“He came to me and

said ‘Coach, I’m notsure if I’m going to beable to wrestle thisweek’ so I told him totake a couple of days tothink about it and letme know. About a daylater, he told me he wasgoing to give it a gobecause he wanted tohave an undefeatedseason.”According to

Campbell, they bothknew it was a possibili-ty but not an easy featto accomplish. “We knew going in to

the season that Abecould be somethingspecial,” Campbellsaid. “With each weekthat went by, his confi-dence grew and he wasable to pull it off.”Although Hall was

able to accomplish theundefeated season,Campbell said it wasnot without its fairshare of stressful

moments. “I finally had to tell

Abraham to quit goinginto overtime,”Campbell said of themultiple occasionsHall was forced intoextended time. “I toldhim to stay aggressiveand to keep the pres-sure on his opponents,so we didn’t have tokeep going throughthat. He just had a calmdemeanor to him. Eventhough he might havebeen pushed to over-time, he always knewhe was in control.”After defeating the

number one ranked285-pound wrestler,Kaden Suter, in over-time of the state cham-pionship semi-finals 3-2, Hall had to defeat thesecond ranked wrestlerin the finals. Hall wasable to secure a take-down en route to a 3-1victory over Dominque

Stauffer of ElkhartCentral to claim theIndiana state title at285 pounds and cap offa 50-0 season. In addition to the

state title, Hall wasalso named the Ward E.Brown Mental AttitudeAward recipient, givenannually to a seniorwrestler who excels inmental attitude, schol-arship, leadership, andathletic ability.Hall ranks eighth in

his class academicallywhile excelling in bothfootball and wrestling. Like his coach, Hall

was able to draw inspi-ration from his ownfather, Wade, a 1979state runner-up. “It’s a neat feeling to

be able to put a finishto something your dadwasn’t able to,”Campbell said. “Forboth of us to finishsomething our dads

worked to do whilethey were activelyinvolved in wrestling,is that much morerewarding.”Going forward,

Campbell hopes hissquad uses Hall’s sea-son as a source ofinspiration to continuethe progress madethroughout his four-year career.“What Abraham was

able to show to ourother guys was thathard work does payoff,” Campbell said.“He was one of our twoseniors, and had onlywrestled since hisfreshman year. Whathe was able to accom-plish in such a shortperiod of time is a tes-tament to how much heput into this. He was adriven individual thatwanted to be the best atwhatever he wasdoing.”

HOPE YOU HAVEadjusted to the clocks’jump forward.Daylight SavingsTime was supposed tohelp businesses havemore daylight to sellthings and savemoney on candles(before electricity). DURING THE1950’S, the town ofLaketon had thelargest increase ofindustry in the coun-ty. The largest addi-tion to the town wasin 1955 when theLaketon Refinery Co.purchased a plot ofland from theBuckeye PipelineCorporation and setup a refinery for oilproducts. Buckeyeofficials sold theirpumping stationlocated on the westedge of the townwhen they found apumping stationlocated farther westcould save themmoney. They con-structed a new pump-ing station at NorthJudson, the center oftheir pipelines thatrun into Chicago. Therefinery hiredbetween 35 and 40men to operate theplant. The town hadLong Lake, locatedjust north of the mainbusiness district,which drew thou-sands of people eachsummer for fishing,picnic and swimming.During 1958, PaulHathaway and PhilOppenheim, NorthManchester business-men, promoted a newhousing addition onthe south side of thelake. The new addi-tion was/is calledSandy Beach Estateand in early June, 16new summer cottageswere under construc-tion.

Ford urges voters to take actionDear editor,

To all the people who thought that the “Right to Work” policy wouldbring good jobs to Indiana, I have a couple bridges I would like to sellthem. However, for those who think it was an attack on Unions and theDemocratic Party, I suggest that they should think a little longer; in real-ity, it was an assault on labor itself.

In actuality, the “Right to Work” policy was pushed forward so that allHoosier employees (both Union and nonunion workers), inevitably,would not be able to earn a fair wage with decent benefits. It was anassault on the American dream of home ownership, to buy good trans-portation, to be able to take your family on vacations, to be able to afforda decent education for your children, and then finally be able to retirewith financial stability and dignity.

The Republican Party may have secured a small victory at theStatehouse, but the real fight will begin at the ballot box. All workersmust unite in solidarity to vote out all politicians who voted for the“Right to Work” bill. So, if you are not a registered voter, get registeredand prepare yourself to help all Hoosiers take our state back and pre-serve the American dream for all of us, for our children and our chil-dren’s children. We deserve it, they deserve it and all of Indiana’s resi-dents deserve it. We must not forget that Indiana’s children today willconsist of the majority of Indiana’s labor force in the future.
