American Red Crossrecognizes NationalVolunteer WeekApril 10-16

Individuals and organizations can seize themoment and share in honoring America’s vol-unteers this spring.

National Volunteer Week runs April 10-16and celebrates the millions of people who dedi-cate themselves to taking action that helps bet-ter their communities. The week also providesopportunities to inspire, recognize and encour-age people to seek out and engage in activitiesthat can effect positive social change.

“Everywhere you look, you’ll find a storyabout ordinary people accomplishing extraor-dinary things through volunteer service,including blood donation,” said SharynWhitman, CEO for the Indiana-Ohio BloodServices Region of the American Red Cross.“And that’s cause for celebration.”

National Volunteer Week was established byPresident Richard Nixon in 1974, and continuesto grow in scope through the support of all sub-sequent U.S. Presidents and other elected offi-cials.

At the American Red Cross, volunteers con-stitute 96 percent of the total work force neededto carry out the organization’s humanitarianmission. Around 155,000 volunteers assist RedCross staff in collecting 40 percent of thenation’s blood supply from about 4 million vol-unteer blood donors. In addition, more than ahalf million people per year deliver Red Crossservices in areas such as disaster relief, healthand safety training, and support to militarymembers and their families.

“Volunteers show all of us that you can makea difference in today’s world,” Whitman said.“We invite you to join the millions of peoplewho help save the day by donating blood or giv-ing of your time and talents through theAmerican Red Cross.”

An American Red Cross blood drive will beheld April 15, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., in theActivity Center at First United MethodistChurch, located at 110 N. Cass St., Wabash.

NRC approves firewoodrules at DNR sites

The Indiana Natural Resources Commission(NRC) recently approved a new policy to managefirewood use at state properties and also set inmotion a proposal to make it a permanent rule.

The two-step approach will allow theDepartment of Natural Resources (DNR) toimplement the change this year while the pro-posed permanent measure works its way throughthe normal nine- to 12-month rulemaking processthat will include a public comment period.

The intent of both steps is to protect resourceson state properties against the spread of emeraldash borer, gypsy moth, Asian longhorned beetleand other pests and pathogens that can be trans-ported in firewood.

Effective immediately, visitors will be allowedto bring firewood to DNR properties only undercertain circumstances. Bundled firewood musthave a U.S. Department of Agriculture or Indianastate certification compliance stamp, be pur-chased from an on-site concessionaire or the DNRproperty, or be kiln-dried construction lumber. Anexception allows visitors to bring uncertified fire-wood so long as the bark is removed before enter-ing the DNR property.

In other actions, the NRC:- Approved state nature preserve designation

for two sites at Harmonie State Park in southwestIndiana. Wabash Border Nature Preserve is a254.62-acre tract on the north side of the park, andHarmonie Hills Nature Preserve is a 334.79-acretract in the southern portion. Both sites havehigh-quality forests and are home to state-endan-gered plant or fish species.

- Adopted a preliminary rule to allow horse taguse on designated properties to be year roundrather than the current April through Novembertime frame.

- Repealed a non-rule policy regarding disposi-tion of permanently injured, non-releasable ani-mals taken in by licensed wildlife rehabilitatorsdue to previous NRC approval of administrativerule changes governing the same topic.

- Approved the appointment of Lynda Ellingtonas assistant property manager at Shakamak StatePark.

The NRC’s next meeting is May 17 at PokagonState Park.

an Epiphone LesPaul guitar, a guitarautographed by JoeBonamassa and theopportunity to per-form onstage withBonamassa at theEmbassy Theatre.

“He gave me thebacking track andinformation so I said‘Ok, fine, we’ll give ita shot’. I was justthinking I would goand do it and itwould be a goodexperience and Iwould get a t-shirt,”Bunnell said.

The contest washeld March 5 atS w e e t w a t e rAuditorium. It wasopen to guitaristsunder age 17, andeach of the 32 con-testants played withthe same two-minutebacking track.Performances werejudged on creativity,proficiency at theinstrument andstage presence.

“I really didn’tspend any timeworking on anythinguntil the nightbefore. I wentthrough and plottedout a lot of what Iwanted to do, but

when I got up there Iprobably only did 10percent of what Iactually planned,”Bunnell said.

Bunnell made it tothe top five, winningthe $100 gift card toSweetwater, and wasgiven a secondopportunity to playagainst the sametrack.

“I wasn’t actuallyexpecting to win atall, I was just tickledto death to be in thetop five. The secondtime I got up there Ijust played. I was theonly one whochanged it up.Everyone else didbasically the samething and I got upthere and did some-thing completely dif-ferent,” Bunnellsaid.

Bunnell was theannounced as thewinner. TheEpiphone Les PaulCustom BlackBeauty guitar hereceived fromSweetwater carries aretail value of $1,300and the Bonamassaautographed guitarwill hang on hiswall, but the real

prize was the oppor-tunity to performwith Bonamassa.

“I really don’tthink a lot of peoplein the States knowhim [Bonamassa].He’s more popularover in Britain andthe European coun-tries. People ask himif he’s a prodigy andhe says he’s 10 per-cent talent and 90percent hard work,so I thought that wasreally cool,” Bunnellsaid.

Bunnell was giventwo songs to work onin the week betweenthe contest and per-formance. On March15, he attendedsound check at theEmbassy Theatre at2:30 p.m.

“I slapped my littleamp on stage and itwas funny becausehe has a huge setup,but it worked out,”Bunnell said.

Bunnell wasplaced in a dressingroom next toBonamassa’s andhad several opportu-nities throughoutthe day to speak withhim.

“He was really,

from the start, just agenuinely nice guy,the whole band was.The main highlightwas the perform-ance, but also meet-ing with the guysbecause they aregood connections tomake along the way,”Bunnell said.

The Embassyseats 2.477 and onlyapproximately 100seats were left empty.

“On a rainyTuesday night thatguy can pack them inthere in Fort Wayne,he’s pretty wellknown up there,”Bunnell said. “I hadbeen nervous thewhole week before-hand but I got uponstage and they justmade me feel likeone of their own.”

Bunnell andBonamassa per-formed “Further onup the Road”.Bonamassa prefacedthe song by tellingthe audience that thelast time the songwas performed withEric Clapton at RoyalAlbert Hall, London,England.

When asked tocompare this per-

formance with thefestivals and bene-fits he has played inthe past, Bunnellreplied, “I reallyhad fun playing tothe audience. Incomparison, it real-ly is no different.When it’s good, it’sgood, whetheryou’re playing for 5or 500. You get outthere and do yourbest.”

Videos ofBunnell’s perform-ance can be seen onSmall Town’sFacebook page,www.facebook.com/ s m a l l . t o w n 1 .Upcoming eventsfor Small Towninclude: May 14,Battle of the Bandsat Brandt’s HarleyDavidson; June 10,10:30 p.m., Relay forLife; June 11, 8-10p.m., Converse Fair;June 17, 6-7:30 p.m.,Ashland Days

“Share each other’sburdens and in thisway obey the law ofChrist.” —Galations6:2

I saw a bumper stick-er once that said, “Godloves you, but I’m hisfavorite”. It made melaugh, but also remind-ed me that God isn’tlike us. He doesn’t playfavorites but cares foreach of us equally. Inturn he wants us to dothe same: care for eachother equally.

New exhibit in North Manchester explores photograph identificationopening March 26, atthe Center for History,122 E. Main St., NorthManchester.

The exhibit will beopen during regularhours (Wednesdays,10 a.m. - 2 p.m., andSaturdays, 10 a.m. - 2

p.m.) thru April 23.Sponsored by the

IHS and the GeorgeEastman HouseI n t e r n a t i o n a lMuseum ofPhotography andFilm, the exhibitionfocuses on identifyingand caring for suchcommon 19th centuryphotographic process-es and formats as thedaguerreotype, tin-type, ambrotype, cabi-net card and carte devisite. Examples ofthese formats havebeen drawn from thecollections of theSociety and GeorgeEastman House. JoanHostetler, a historicphotograph consult-ant, served as theexhibit’s guest cura-tor.

“Although there isan established profes-sion dedicated to con-serving photographs,much of the researchdoes not trickle downto the average personwith cherished familyphotographs,” saidHostetler. “The goal ofthis exhibit is tobridge the gap byrelaying informationto the public on iden-tifying, dating andcaring for their photo-graphs.”

The first photo-graphic process tohave mass popularity

in the United Stateswas the daguerreo-type, which was per-fected by FrenchmanLouis Jacques MandeDaguerre in the late1830s. The ambrotype,seen as a cheaperalternative to the dau-guerreotype, becamethe most popular por-trait process in the1850s. Tintypes, alsoknown as ferrotypes,reached their greatestpopularity inAmerica and weremade from 1856 wellinto the 20th century.

The first three pop-ular Americanprocesses –d a g u e r r e o t y p e s ,ambrotypes and tin-types – were housedin book-like, hingedcases and were one-of-a-kind images. After1860, most 19th centu-ry photographs were

printed on paper fromglass negatives, whichmeant that multipleprints could be pro-duced. Small cartes devisite (photographsmounted on cardstock) became a ragein the 1860s and 1870sas people filled theirphotograph albumswith portraits offriends, family andcelebrities.

Larger size cabinetphotographs weremade from the 1870sthrough the turn ofthe century. By 1890,photography movedfrom commercial por-trait studios to thepublic as snapshotphotography becamepossible due to plas-tic-based film andsmall, handheld cam-eras.

Fifty-seven area lawenforcement officerswere trained in victimsafety and battereraccountability during

a training workshopheld March 16, at theREMC conference cen-ter, Wabash.

“Who strikes first

Area law enforcement officers attend family violence trainingdoesn’t equate to thearrest,” said FortWayne Deputy PoliceChief Dottie Davis.

She also stressedthat: “Who is afraid ofwho,” should be a keypart of an investiga-tion where it is notimmediately clear whothe predominantaggressor might be.

“Understanding andResponding to FamilyViolence,” was the titleof the free workshopprovided by theIndiana CoalitionAgainst DomesticViolence in coordina-tion with Hands ofHope, a division ofFamily Service Society,Inc.

The training objec-tives Davis coveredincluded educating

participants about pre-dominant aggressor,the right to self-defenseand mutual combat,identifying best prac-tices in responding tofamily violence callsfor service and identi-fying the many crimesassociated with familyviolence and the ele-ments of the crime.

Davis, a 29-yearpolice veteran is anational speakerabout domestic vio-lence who has trainedthousands of lawenforcement officers,prosecutors, advocatesand judges throughoutthe nation.

During training,Davis emphasized theimportance of an offi-cer taking time to sep-arate the victim and

batterer to find outwhat led up to the actof violence.

For instance, Davissaid, if the victimattempted to removeherself from the vio-lence and the abuserfollowed her through-out the house continu-ing to berate her andthreaten violence, thevictim has the right todefend herself.

It is also importantto remember to talk tothe children, Davissaid. She told about asituation where itappeared the womanhad struck her hus-band in the head andwas the aggressor,until the small childin the room statedthat dad struck him-self in the head with a

statue once he real-ized police had beencalled because he saidhe was not going to goback to jail. The fami-ly had recently movedto Fort Wayne fromanother communityso there were norecords of priordomestic violence.

“You are such anintricate part ofdomestic violence –victim safety and per-petrator accountabili-ty,” Davis said

It is critical thatcriminal justice com-munities have a stan-dard operating proce-dure on how eachdomestic violencecase is investigatedand processedthroughout the sys-tem, she added. No

matter whom the bat-terer is – every batter-er in Fort Wayne sitsin jail on a no bondhold until an initialhearing takes place.

Davis also dis-cussed best practicein documenting thecrime from the 911call through theentire incident.

Officers fromWabash City Police,North ManchesterPolice, WabashCounty Sheriff ’sD e p a r t m e n t ,LaFontaine, PeruPolice, Grant CountySheriff ’s Departmentand staff from theWabash Prosecutor’sOffice, Miami CountyProsecutor’s Officeand Hands of Hopewere in attendance.
