by Danielle SwanDSmith

@thepaperofwabash.comOn Jan. 19, 2011,

after months ofu n s u c c e s s f u lattempts and fertilitytreatments, StacyWolfe of New Mexico,daughter of TimButts of Wabash, gavebirth to a chubby,blue-eyed baby boy.She and her husband,Jesse, a U.S. Armyveteran, named thebaby Evan, whichmeans “young war-rior”. They wouldsoon learn how fittingthat name would be.In the comingmonths, Evan wouldexhibit a tremendousamount of strength.

In mid-August,Stacy noticed thatEvan’s right eyeseemed to be wander-ing, and she immedi-ately sought medicalhelp. What the doc-tors discovered wouldturn the Wolfes’ worldupside down.

An MRI revealed atumor, measuringthree centimeters indiameter, on thebaby’s pineal gland.Doctors removed apiece of the tumor forbiopsy, and the anx-ious parents weresoon informed thattheir baby boy wassuffering from anaggressive canceroustumor calledpineoblastoma.

“Dr. Marchand saysit’s very rare andrarer yet in babies,”Stacy remarked inher journal. “Dr.Heideman says in his30+ year career, he’sonly seen four cases.”

Doctors informedthe couple that, if leftuntreated, Evan had acouple of weeks to a

couple of months tolive, and treatmentoptions are limitedfor a seven-month-oldcancer patient.Radiation cannot beperformed on anyoneunder the age ofthree, and removingthe tumor surgicallywas not an optionbecause of the loca-tion of the tumordeep within his brainand Evan’s age.

The doctors’ pro-posed solution was achemotherapy treat-ment, which hadshown a zero percentsuccess rate withp i n e o b l a s t o m apatients. Unsatisfiedwith those odds, Stacybegan researchingother options.

She located a pio-neer in the cancerresearch field, Dr.Burzynski, Houston,Texas, who has anFDA clinical trialopen for a revolution-ary cancer treatmentthat usesA n t i n e o p l a s t o n s(ANP). This treat-ment uses human pro-teins to go into thetumor and shut offthe replicationswitches in the cells,causing the tumor toshrink and die.

Dr. Burzynski hadonly treated onepineoblastoma baby,Sophia Gettino, whois now 15 years old.One success story wasbetter than none, andthe Wolfes elected touse this option. Stacyhad faith that Evanwould soon be addedto the long list ofpatients whose livesDr. Burzynski hadsaved.

“She really had nooption because when

they first diagnosedit, they said theycould do chemo, butthey couldn’t followup with radiation,”said Stacy’s father,Tim Butts of Wabash.“Basically they wouldjust make him terri-bly sick before hedied.”

Stacy had beenspeaking with thecoordinator of theBurzynski Clinic, butwhen the decisionwas made and shetried to call, it wasonly a few minutesafter 5 p.m. on aFriday and she couldnot reach anyone atthe clinic. For BabyEvan, every daycounted so Stacy andJesse packed theirbags and drove the1,000 miles to theBurzynski Clinic sothey could be therefirst thing in themorning on Monday.

“Evan’s first offi-cial road trip is goingto be memorable,”Stacy remarked inher journal. “We’reon our way to see theman who is going tocure his cancer.”

When they arrived,the Wolfes wereinformed that the doc-tor was only seeingcurrent patients andthat Evan would haveto wait and let anoth-er precious day slipby. They were discour-aged, but shortlythereafter, Stacyreceived an unexpect-ed phone call fromJenny Gettino of NewYork, the mother ofDr. Burzynski’spineoblastoma suc-cess story.

“I told Jenny mypredicament and sheimmediately told me

that Dr. Burzynskihad given her hishome number andsaid she was going tocall him on mybehalf,” Stacy’s jour-nal states.

The next phone callwas even moreencouraging. It wasSophia herselfinforming Stacy thatDr. Burzynski hadagreed to see Evan thenext day.

“Dr. Burzynski toldStacy right up front ‘Idon’t have a trackrecord with this, Ionly treated onepatient, but thatpatient is startinghigh school this year,”Tim said.

The next weeksproved to be extreme-ly trying for Stacy.Jesse had to return toNew Mexico to work,and she remained inTexas awaitingapproval from theFDA and the InternalReview Board so thatEvan could begin theANP treatment. Eachlong day marked theslipping away of pre-cious time that Evandid not have to waste.

“I see Evan’s activi-ty level decreasingevery day, he doesn’tlaugh much and hissmiles are few and farbetween. I try not tothink about it, butthese changes remind

me that his prognosisa month ago was a fewweeks to a couplemonths,” Stacy said.

While she was atthe Burzynski Clinic,Stacy’s family bandedtogether to supporther and her son. Herbrother, Justin Tobyasof Wabash, and Timhad planned to visitNew Mexico duringthe Labor Day holiday,but after making the1,300-mile drive toNew Mexico, theydecided they wereneeded in Texas tosupport Stacy andEvan.

Some ofthese machines areequipped with leversand buttons to allowthe more severelydisabled students tocontrol them.

When studentsarrive at the work-shop, they clock inand proceed to theirassigned station.Many of the craftsare handmade deco-rative items. Somestudents use asewing machine to

construct aprons.Others sand andstain different typesof wooden decora-tive items. The staffmembers are con-stantly thinking ofnew ideas of differ-ent crafts that can becreated at the work-shop.

Once a year,throughout lateNovember, the craftsare loaded and takento each of the localelementary schoolswhere the elemen-tary students willhave an opportunityto do Christmasshopping. None of

the items cost morethan $6. Some of theWe Can studentsattend the sales,which provides themwith a sense of prideand achievement.

“They love it, theyreally do love it,”said Joyce Lee, coor-dinator of Wabash –Miami AreaProgram. Lee wenton to say that the ele-mentary school staffmembers areextremely support-ive of the We Canprogram, and arealways welcoming ofthe sales.

The revenue gen-

erated from thesales, which some-times reaches asmuch as $1,000 perbuilding, is used tosustain the We Canprogram.

Infant grandson of local resident... continued from front pageLabor Day weekend.We made New Mexicolate Friday night.Saturday morning wehad determined wewere going to Houstonon Sunday, so there wasanother 1,000 miles andwe got into Houston at2:30 a.m. on LaborDay,” he recalls.

Evan’s conditioncontinued to change.The ANP treatmentwas continuouslyinterrupted as doctors

worked to keep Evan’ssodium, potassium,hemoglobin and otherlevels steady. Duringone particularly seri-ous episode, he wasbeing intubated andsuffered a seizure.

“They wouldn’t lether touch him, and oneof the doctors steppedinto the room and heldher and that doctorwept bitterly, justsobbed,” Tim said.

“I’ve never felt more

helpless or morescared,” Stacy recalled.“I felt sick. He lookedso little and alone. Ireally feared that hewould die looking intothe face of a stranger,not knowing his moth-er was only a few feetaway and not allowedto touch him.”

In mid-October, anMRI revealed that thetumor had grown to 7.5centimeters. Stacy hadspent the prior weeks

learning how to admin-ister Dr. Burzynski’sANP treatmentthrough a port in hischest, and Evan wasdischarged so shecould continue thetreatments at home.

In mid-November, anMRI revealed that thetumor had grown dur-ing the precedingmonth. Dr. Burzynskiagreed to keep Evan onthe ANP treatment foranother month, butinformed the Wolfesthat they needed tostart exploring otheroptions. Stacy checkedinto the possibility ofhaving the tumor sur-gically removed, butthat was determined tonot be an option.Doctors began suggest-ing to Stacy that sheconsider pain manage-ment and end of lifetreatment for Evan.

Stacy’s responseexhibits her fortitudeand faith, “It is nevertoo late for God to healEvan, miracles happenand we are waiting andpraying for ours. Aslong as Evan breathes,we have not lost and wewill not give up.”

On Nov. 29, theWolfes were told thatEvan had anywherebetween hours anddays to live. A weeklater, the young war-rior astounds everyoneas he clings to life.

Tim is astounded bythe level of courage,strength, stamina,grace and dignity hisdaughter has exhibitedduring this grim situa-tion.

“I watch in amaze-ment and awe,” he said.“I’m very proud of mydaughter and at thesame time I’m veryhumbled. As a grand-parent, my heart achesfor Evan. He is mygrandson. But it’s inde-scribable to watch oneof your children gothrough this with oneof their children. She’sstill my little girl and

you want so much tojust go in and fix it forthem and you can’t.”

People from all overthe world are followingEvan’s story online.Encouragement andsupport have come infrom the UnitedKingdom, Australia,Canada, Puerto Rico,Hungary, Poland andFrance. As of Dec. 9,the website had over16,000 hits. The follow-ers include many inthe medical field.

“It’s amazingbecause conventionalmedicine doesn’tunderstand Burzysnkior they think that youhave to do radiationand chemo, but oncethey talk to Stacy andshe explains to themwhat her options were,almost without excep-tion, every healthcareprofessional that shehas talked to has askedfor the website becausethey want to follow thisstory,” Tim said.

During this time,

Stacy and her familyhave asked for nothingbut prayers and sup-port, which they havereceived in massiveamounts.

“Prayer is what isgoing to do it. It’s notknowing that God can,but believing that Hewill,” Tim said.

In addition to theworldwide encourage-ment, Tim has seen anamazing outpouring oflocal support as well.Many churches andmembers of the com-munity in Wabash andsurrounding areashave expressed greatsupport for the family.

“The response fromWabash has just beenincredible. People havetaken these flyers tovarious churches, pas-tors all over town havetaken up the call, thereare prayer groups,prayer chains,” Timsaid.

The family hasrelied heavily on faithto get them through

this time.“Whatever He has in

store for Evan andStacy is what’s best forEvan and Stacy, nomatter how much Iquestion that,” Timsaid. “God’s plan isalways the best, andeven though we don’tknow it on this side ofthe grave, and maybeon the other side wewon’t either, but thereis a reason for this andit’s a good reasonbecause He is a goodgod and he doesn’t dobad things to good peo-ple.”

Everyone can join inprayer and expresstheir support for Evanand his family athttp://www.caring-bridge.org/visit/evan011911.

Sen. Banks determined to eliminate ‘Death Tax’ State Sen. Jim

Banks (R-ColumbiaCity) once again plansto introduce legisla-tion phasing outIndiana’s inheritanceincome tax-alsoknown as the “deathtax.”

Currently, the tax islevied against theheir who receives thei n h e r i t a n c e - n o tincluding spouses andcharitable organiza-

tions. Phasing out thetax will make Indianatax code fairer andsimpler as well as liftan unnecessary andexcessive burden.Sen. Banks initiallyintroduced this billlast session.

“Tax rates varydepending on the ben-eficiary’s relationshipwith the descendent,”Banks said. “Forinstance, children aretaxed at a lesser rate

than a distant cousin,who would in turn betaxed at a lesser ratethan a friend of thedeceased.”

Indiana is rankedamong the worststates in the countryfor combined stateand federal inheri-tance tax according todata compiled in TheWall Street Journal.The AmericanLegislative Exchange

Council (ALEC) ranksIndiana 50th for highinheritance taxes.

Banks said theelimination of thistax could also address

another concern fac-ing Indiana-the num-ber of older Hoosiersleaving the state.

“The issue here isenvy, not revenue. It is

just wrong, especiallyat a time whenIndiana is trying toconvince others thatwe will honor theirinvestment and pro-

tect their property,”Banks said.

Earlier this year,Ohio lawmakersvoted to eliminatetheir “death tax.”

Crop farming is arisky business, andaccording to a PurdueExtension agricultur-al economist, farmersneed to successfullymanage that risk nowmore than ever.

There are two dis-tinct types of riskfarmers need to beconcerned with - oper-ating risk and finan-cial risk. Operatingrisk is what’s associ-ated with grainprices, input costsand yields. Financialrisk refers to the wayproducers financetheir business -whether through debtor their own equity.

Both types of riskhave intensified in thelast few years as thevolatility in commodi-ty markets and inputprices has causedgrain producers’ prof-it margins to becomeunstable.

“The volatilitywe’ve seen in the mar-gins has increaseddramatically sincethe mid-2000s,” MikeBoehlje said. “We hada fairly stable set ofprices and, moreimportantly, costs, formost of the ‘90s andthe first half of thefollowing decade. Butsince about 2005,we’ve had significantvolatility not only inprices but also incosts, resulting in adramatic increase inmargin volatility.”

During the last

three to four years,farmers generallyhave seen much high-er grain prices. ButBoehlje is quick topoint out how quicklythat changes.

“Just look at what’shappened sinceAugust of this year toprices,” he said.“We’ve now takenover a dollar off ofcorn prices and closerto $2 in some mar-kets.”

Even with all of theuncertainty, Boehljesaid there are strate-gies to help farmersmanage their risk.The first is by lockingin margins when bothcommodity and inputprices are favorable.

“Margins can beprotected by usingfutures markets orcontracting to lock ingrain-selling pricesand by contractinginput prices for fertil-izer, seed and chemi-cals,” he said.

Second, farmersneed to buy cropi n s u r a n c e .Determining the levelat which to insure thecrop can be a chal-lenge, but Boehljesaid he recommendshigher levels of cover-age right now becauseof the volatility.

Third, producersneed to pay specialattention to managingfinancial risk, espe-cially when it comesto debt.

“Be careful with

Economist: Farmers mustmanage risk as volatility increases

borrowing money,”Boehlje said. “Nowmay be the time to paydown a little debt andposition yourself tobe able to handle thisincreased volatilityby not having asmuch debt.”

For those producerswho already havelong-term debt,Boehlje suggests tak-ing advantage of his-torically low interestrates by fixing theirloan rates.

And, finally, farm-

ers need to use soundoperating procedures,take advantage of thebest possible seed andtechnology, and makesure operating costsare under control.

“Don’t get lax incost-control in goodtimes because thatcan certainly hurtyou when times aren’tso good,” he said.

Governor MitchDaniels recently saidthe state’s fiscal posi-tion appears to be get-ting stronger. As hereleased theNovember monthlyrevenue report, hesaid revenues are run-ning ahead of projec-tions.

The governor alsosaid that as a result ofan internal audit, thestate has identifiedfunds that had not

been transferred froma Department ofRevenue account tothe state’s GeneralFund. The computersoftware error startedin 2007 and has affect-ed only estimated pay-ments of corporateincome taxes via apayment optionknown as e-check.

E-check receiptsimpacted since 2007included: FY2007 -$4,730,578.05 (1.5 per-

cent of total amount);FY2008 - $29,574,930.01(9.2 percent); FY2009 -$56,243,768.64 (17.6percent); FY2010 -$58,300,950.61 (18.2percent); FY2011 -$139,194,582.51 (43.5percent); FY2012(YTD) - $32,148,409.42(10 percent).

“For both these rea-sons, stronger thananticipated revenuesreflecting greaterstrength in the

Indiana economy andthe appropriateaccounting for about$288 million,Indiana’s strong fiscalposition looks evenstronger and the sur-plus that we have andthat we expect to bethere to protect us inthe future is evenlarger,” said Daniels.($288 million throughFY2011.)

We would like to thank all of our family, friendsand neighbors who were there for us during the illness and loss of Max Bechtold, our husband,dad and grandpa. We really appreciate all the

prayers, visits, cards, food and support. We wouldalso like to thank Pastor Mike Bullick, Wabash

Oncology Care Center, Wabash County Hospitalstaff, Wabash-Miami Hospice Care,

Grandstaff-Hentgen Funeral Home, Mike &Susan Keaffaber and our wonderful church family

at Asbury Country Church.Merry Christmas From Heaven

I still hear the songs, I still see the lights,I still feel the love, on cold wintry nights.

I still share your hopes, and all of your cares,I’ll even remind you to please say your prayers.

I just want to tell you, you still make me proud,You stand head and shoulders above all the crowd.

Keep trying each moment to stay in His grace,I came here before you to help set your place.

You don’t have to be perfect all the time,He forgives you the slip if you continue to climb.

To my family and friends please be thankful today,I’m still close beside you in a new special way.

I love you all dearly, now don’t shed a tear,Cause I’m spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

John Mooney

The Family of Max Bechtold
