Allen Sparks may be the
pastor with the longest current
tenure in Montgomery County.
He has been taking care of the
congregation at Liberty Chapel
since May of 1983 and he is
retiring at the end of this year.
He spoke to The Paper about his
reasons for retirement and his
plans for life after more than 32
years of pastoral work.
When asked why he is choosing to retire now, Sparks said,
“That’s an important point. I
don’t think I can do the job to
the level that the church needs.
It’s that simple.”
He suffered a stroke three
years ago, and while he has
recovered well, Sparks said,
“it still weakens me and I don’t
have the vigor I used to.” He
said he is retiring because it is
the right thing for his church as
well as his family.
“It’s not fair to the church,”
Sparks said. “They shouldn’t
be in limbo wondering when I
may have get out [of pastoral
work].” Additionally, his mother, Dorothy Sparks, turns 95

A Flyer and a Hornet got together and are still going strong
58 years later. Our Waveland
Hornet was active in FFA and
4-H and was vice president of
his class. “They couldn’t get
anyone else to do it,” he noted.
Let me warn you ahead of time
this fellow is a goof: loads of
fun and a wonderful man.
Their 1956 high school class
was a big one, “Low 20s!” Her
class,1957, at New Market was
16 strong. She was class secretary and involved with choir
and Sunshine. Her cousin, Sue
Milligan from his class, was determined to get the two together.
As his graduating class prepared
for their senior trip, they began
several projects. It seems she
was invited to almost every one
of those Hornet class outings.
One of these money-makers was
to pick corn. Well she ended-up
riding on the tractor with him
and loved it! Soon, she loved
the farmer boy, too.

advisor Nancy Bell hopes to

Bell said North FFA has

finicky flowers for 12 or 13
years now. The flowers were
planted by Bell’s Introduction

ago and carefully watered by
Bell and her assistant Shelby Lee. Any gardener will
tell you that poinsettias are a
challenge to grow and even a
challenge to care for at home.
“It is extremely hard. People tend to not buy poinsettias
because you can kill them
within hours of getting them,”
Bell said. “When you have
500 in the greenhouse it’s a
little nerve wracking, I won’t
lie.”
Bell offers some free advice
with purchase to help lengthen

said that poinsettias should be

Congratulating Katelyn, Sean
Katelyn Storms and Sean
Rizer were married Oct.
10, 2015 at First United
Methodist Church in Crawfordsville with Pastor Mike
Whitacre officiating.
The bride is the daughter
of Kevin and Andra Storms
of Darlington. She is a
graduate of Trine University with a bachelor’s degree
in business administration
with a major in sports management. She is employed
by the Indiana University
Kelley School of Business.
The groom is the son of
Joe and Katie Rizer of Valparaiso. He is a graduate
of Valparaiso University
with a bachelor’s degree in
accounting and finance. He
is employed at Somerset
CPAs.
Þ READ From Page A1
she said, “He was a good
guy. Never heard anything bad ever said about
him.” That’s quite a feat
and to this day I have
never heard any negativity where Donn Moser
is involved. Now, his
answer was a bit different
where his wife, Anna
“Jean” was concerned.
“It seemed like something that just oughta’
be!” Evidently that’s the
truth of it, as it’s been one
amazing marriage. They
are just so cute together!
When Donn got out
of school, he went to
his six-month required
Army for training at Ft.
Leonardwood, Mo. but
spent most of his time in
Ft. Lewis, Texas, ready
for his upcoming required
years of Guard duty. He
also went with a friend,
Larry Myers, to Chicago
to a six-month Electrician
School. Upon his return,
he went to work for Cecil
Hunt for a year. In the
meantime, Jean was working at RR Donnelley having a grand time with 12
others from New Market.
They briefly lived on one
of the Moser farms north
of Crawfordsville.
Oh, forgot to say the
kids were married on the
very first day of February in 1958 by Reverend
Lowell Morris at the
Methodist parsonage in
Waveland. Although a
honeymoon to the South
was planned, they slowly
motored to about Spencer and got stuck. After
a couple of days, they
came back to Waveland.
Jim and I got married on
Jan. 13, 1968 and we all
agreed: “Don’t get married in bad weather!”
Having a good electrical
background was a plus
on the farm. Then, they
giggled (they’re always
giggling) and he told me
this story about my dad.
“Well, once I had worked
all morning trying to fix
a grain bin to reverse.”
My dad was their mail

were Sarah and Samantha

carrier for about 20 years,
and saw Donn up there
working and decided he’d
see what the problem was.
Dad checked it out and
told Donn not to worry,
he’d be back when he
finished the mail. Sure
enough, Dad returned,
climbed up and repaired
what the problem was.
Jean and Donn both said
that my folks were really
good to them. Even took
them on weekend trips.
They had a good time
together and it is neat to
hear those stories!!
Speaking of which,
Donn was a riot telling
about his grandmother,
who was also a big helper
(along with Donn’s mom)
to others. She wanted to
learn to drive after Donn’s
grandfather passed away
so she could take her
“girls” (friends) places.
So, Donn got out the car
and taught her the proper
way to drive, complete
with the etiquette needed to be an exceptional
driver. Problem was
Gma’ Swaney had her
own agenda. Donn said,
“She had two daughters
who lived in Hammond
and she would drive there
much faster than I could!”
The Moser family at
one time owned about
1,200 acres. Now, Jean
really loved the tractors,
and decided she could
help on the farms, too, so
when she was four-months
pregnant with their oldest
son, Duane, Donn taught
her tractor-driving. Pretty
good at it, too, but when
she would see an interesting rock, she’d stop the
tractor to check it out. It
ceased to be funny after
awhile, with the others
stopping and thinking she
was in trouble. Of course,
she was always fine, but
eventually, everyone
informed her if she was
really in trouble sometime,
she’d just sit there as they
were not taking time to
come check again. She
does have a great rock collection displayed throughout her flower beds by
the house. Even Don’s
dad would bring her rocks
from all over.
I mentioned Duane
above. He and wife, Pat,
are parents of two awesome kids, Megan who
works with her dad at
Heritage. When Megan
was born, she was the
first female in the Moser
family for 48 years. She
was joined by brother,
Riley who is in the Navy.
Both are South graduates
where mom is a counsel-
or.
Aaron Moser has two
children, another girl,
Samantha who is married
to Alex McIntyre. Aaron
is a grandpa’ to Drew
age six and Briella age
three who was born on
Donn’s birthday. Samantha works at the Optical
Lab. Aaron’s son, Will,
is a Paramedic in Illinois
and super-busy! Aaron
is a supervisor at Master
Guard.
Donn and Jean went
to Hawaii on their 25th
anniversary and Florida several times. They
really enjoyed Pigeon
Forge, where they’d go
once a year and stay three
or four days. They both
enjoy reading and being
involved in their church,
Browns Valley Christian.
I’ve only had a couple
of people come to our
house for an interview but
when he asked if I wanted
to come out or them in, I
said, “Just come on in.”
Even made cherry dump
cake. Jean took a bite and
said, “It’s musty!” What?
Then she explained her
mother always said good
things were musty – must
have more! These two
are great and I say thanks
for (finally) letting me
interview ya’ for ATC!

Ben Hur moving forward
By Leeann Doerflein
leeann@thepaoer24-7.com
The long-awaited Ben
Hur project is moving
along. The Crawfordsville
Board of Public Works
and Safety heard and approved a request from the
Webber Group regarding
construction.
Mayor’s Office Executive Assistant Brenda
Tarter made the request
on the group’s behalf
since they could not attend
the Wednesday morning
meeting. She said that the
request does not come
with a specific timeline,
but it will be relatively
soon that the group will
use a man-lift to remove
and inspect loose terra
cotta on the outside of
Ben Hur. She said the
lift would be used on the
sidewalks and in the alley
beside the building.
The sidewalk is already
closed and Tarter said
Webber does not think
that closing the alley will
be necessary. The board
approved placing the manlift, but requested that
Webber work out details
with the Street Department and Crawfordsville

has a variety of tentative plans for his future,
nothing is definite yet.
Sparks is considering
some mission work,
starting a small Bible
institute in the county to
help teach people how
to study scripture, and a
few other projects. He is
certain he will spend time
taking care of his mother,
but as for the rest he said,
“Nothing set because I
have not had time to think
much about it.”
He will not, however,
become a source of advice
for pastoral work. Sparks
laughed as he told The
Paper, “At least 20 people are willing to shoot
me if I become an expert
on being a pastor as soon
as I retire.” He clarified,
“You don’t suddenly
know what you were
doing the moment you are
no longer doing it.”
By Jan. 3, 2016 Liberty
Chapel may or may not
have a new pastor, but
Sparks is not worried
about that. He said the
church elders are wonderful, knowledgeable people
and will take care of it.
He wanted to give
credit to the congregation
for all they have done
for him. “No pastor has
ever had a better church
in terms of loving and
showing grace to the children,” Sparks said. “Our
children all benefitted
and were given incredible
opportunities. To me, that
is really most important.”
There will be an open
house to this Saturday
from 2-6 p.m. at Liberty
Chapel, 3942 West 500
North, Crawfordsville.
The community is welcome to come help thank
Sparks and his wife,
Diane, for all they have
done for their congregation and their community.
One g
good name.
A team of good people.

Best Community
Thanksgiving yet
Dear Editor:
Thanksgiving is over and the Lord blessed us this
year with a record turnout. We have such caring and
wonderful people in our community who are willing
and ready to help serve and make this possible. It is
so great to see everything come together, with all the
volunteers that donate their time getting it ready and
all the food coming in throughout the days to prepare
and serve. We served around 241 meals inside and
around 745 meals between takeout and deliveries. It
was great to see all the people fill the room and have
a great time with fellowship, good music and good
food.
We would like to thank everyone who helped make
this year another success. Thank you to the pastor,
George Smith, for the wonderful sermon, the great
singers performing to make the atmosphere even better. To the advertisers to get the word out, the florist
with the beautiful center pieces and the center pieces
from the residence at Whitlock Place, the wonderful
fall decorations from Rainbows and Rhymes Preschool there at the First United Methodist Church,
the volunteers that gave up their time Wednesday and
on Thanksgiving and all the people and businesses
donating money and food. We would like to thank the
anonymous people who donated so much food and
anyone that gave without us knowing your name or
address!!
Once again we would like to thank First United
Methodist Church, for the use of their facilities and
the help of their congregation along with the volunteers to prepare and serve this meal for so many
people on Thanksgiving Day.
We are both truly grateful to everyone that had a
part in this dinner. Thank you, so much, everyone
and we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The Paper
Now that Christmas music is playing wherever you
go, it's time to start thinking about the Community
Christmas Dinner.
This year the dinner will be at their new location
1905 Lebanon Rd. (State Road 32 East) at the family
life center at First Baptist Church. This location allows
the volunteers to have a top of the line facility to prepare and serve the meals. The facility offers a spacious
dining area, very nice kitchen facility, lots of parking
and easy access.
Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. and serving will be
from 12-3 p.m. on Christmas Day. The meal will be a
traditional meal of ham, turkey, noodles, mash potatoes, vegetable, homemade stuffing, rolls, assorted
desserts, beverages and some surprises.
Last year they served over 1000 meals. This year
they expect more.
Home delivery is a big part of this event and accounts for 65-70%.
If you cannot join them, they will come to you. This
dinner is for the community. Whether you no longer
have the space to have your family together, have no
family, are having hard times, traveling through, or any
other situation, all are welcome.
The community dinner started over 45 years ago by
Mildred Thompson who organized it for several years.
If you would like to volunteer to help decorate and
set up the dining room on Christmas Eve, to cook,
server, host or clean-up on Christmas day, donate items
or give in any other capacity, call (765) 366-2341 or
drop by The Shop at 130 W. Main St.
To volunteer to deliver meals or to have a meal
delivered to your home, call Carsten Lemkau at (765)
376-5745 or Larry Thomas at (765) 366-8086
The dinner is also in need of corporate contributors.
Acuity Lighting and RR Donnelly have donated
turkeys and committee member Scott Kentner and his
volunteers will again cook 50 turkeys at Arni's Restaurant on Christmas Eve.
Other donations needed include monetary donations,
gift cards, hams and desserts. Monetary donations and
gift cards can be mailed to MCCCD at 130 W Main
St., Crawfordsville, IN, 47933.
Call (765) 366-2341 or (765) 307-4000 for more
information.

Reflections on the Bill of Rights
Next Tuesday will mark the 224th
anniversary of the signing of the “Bill
of Rights.” Ratified on December 15,
1791, the Bill of Rights guarantees
fundamental civil and human rights of all
citizens, residents, and visitors on United
States territory.
The first ten amendments to the U.S.
Constitution include the freedoms of
speech, press and religion, the people’s
right to keep and bear arms, the freedom
of assembly, the freedom to petition, the right to be
free of unreasonable search and seizure and compelled
self-incrimination.
Further, the Bill of Rights guarantees due process,
trial by jury, prohibition of excessive bail as well as
cruel and unusual punishment. Powers not delegated
to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
The League of Women Voters calls for continued protection of civil liberties, improved political
discourse and greater civic participation. Since our
founding in 1920, the League has worked to defend
civil liberties and promote citizen engagement in
democracy, and we continue this emphasis today. The
League’s mission seeks to help individuals recognize
the critical importance of protecting and honoring
our most cherished constitutional rights and how they
impact our everyday lives.
The protection of the individual liberties laid out
in the Bill of Rights has been central to the League’s
work throughout its history. During World War II,
the League worked to balance the preservation of
civil liberties with the importance of national security.
During the communist “witch hunt” period of the early
1950s, the League conducted a community
education program known as the “Freedom Agenda, providing Americans with
the opportunity to discuss and learn about
the Bill of Rights.
More recently, League members have
promoted a diverse and independent
judiciary, advocated against warrantless
domestic surveillance, worked for government transparency and accountability and
sponsored numerous education programs
aimed at informing citizens of their rights.
League members in Montgomery County work
throughout the year to protect our liberties and make
the most of them by encouraging voter registration,
voter turnout, helping sponsor candidate forums, discussing important issues, providing an Observer Corps
to city and county boards and holding elected officials
accountable for their actions.
The LWV believes that the Bill of Rights is not only
an important part of our nation’s history but also a
living document that will guide us into the future. In
the highly partisan environment throughout our nation
today, the League seeks to provide a “safe” venue
where all sides of issues can be discussed civilly and
thoughtfully. The LWV encourages all members of
the community to join us in making democracy work!
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan, multi-issue political organization, encourages informed and active participation
in government, works to increase public understanding of major
policy issues, and influences public policy through education and
advocacy. All men and women are invited to join LWV where
hands-on work to safeguard democracy leads to civic improvement. For information about the League, visit the website: www.
lwvmontco.org or send a message to LWV, PO Box 101, Crawfordsville, IN 47933.

Football
year ends
in draw-er
Oh, hey there.
You caught me
going through
my sports “junk
drawer” here
at my desk. It
is full of sports
items of suspect
value that I will
need someday,
right after I
throw them
John O. MarlowE
away.
The Good Sport
I’m looking
for a valve stem:
it is time to deflate my collection of footballs. With St. Thomas University taking
the wind out of the Wabash Little Giants’
deep playoff run, last week –– in the
Quarterfinals, 38-7 –– the 2015 football
season in Montgomery County is officially closed.
So, before I ready for storage my outdoor writing pen (with grill attachment),
and take out my indoor writing pen (Just
a pen. You can’t grill indoors.), let me
make a few memos for next year.
Memo to …
Wabash Special Teams:
How was the walk from Minnesota?
Wabash Special Teams was responsible
for 31 of the opponent’s points! Yup, a
punt return for a TD, a blocked punt, a
muffed punt, a fake field goal for a TD,
and a lost onside kick-off, all led to Tommies points.
Relying on the world’s worst Internet/
radio feed from Minnesota, which made
an antique Stereograph look like new
technology, I heard our commentators
say that the errors were “uncharacteristic
of Wabash.” The truth, however, is the
opposite.
Wabash gave up a punt return touchdown in the Thomas More playoff game,
and a blocked extra point in the Albion
playoff game. In fact, in the last four
playoff games, the Little Giants have
yielded a Special Teams snafu in every
one of them –– blocked punt, fumbled
punt, missed extra points.
In 2013, I counted 26 points in short
kicks and extra points that Wabash left on
the field in missed opportunities.
Hey, bad things are going to happen
from time-to-time. Reoccurring bad
things mean you have a problem. Elite
teams do not give points away. (Yes,
I used the “E” word.) If you make the
Quarterfinals, you’d better have a complete team.
Memo to …
The SAC:
Well done, guys!
I add my voice to the many who are
congratulating Baylee Adams and Devon Zachary (North Montgomery), and
Nathaniel Farabee (Southmont) for being
named to the 2015 Senior All-State Football Team.
Also from the Sagamore Athletic Contest, Wes Cook (Tri-West), Dylan Kortman and Logan Marsh (Western Boone)
were familiar names on the team.
Congratulations, men!
Memo to …
Myself:
Always ask Mike.
My friend, and 1977 Wabash teammate, Mike Perkins messaged me that
he, and his new wife, Kim, enjoyed last
week’s column remembering the Little
Giants’ 1977 playoff “Ice Bowl Game”
against St. John’s.
“But you forgot to tell your readers the
best part! St. John’s deliberately iced the
field!”
Mike is reserved by nature, but when
it comes to Wabash, he is a fanatic. He
knows Wabash sports past, present –– and
sometimes, I think –– future.
It seems that the venerable Johnnies
head coach, John Gagliardi, was concerned enough about our quickness that
he instructed the grounds crew to hose
down the field the night before the playoff
game. Sure enough, when the temperatures plummeted, it was Sonja Henie City!
Can you imagine what the fallout would
be if Nick Saban hosed down the field
before this year’s Division I playoff game
with Michigan State?
I do: SkateGate!
Hmmm. Now I know why Bowl games
are played in warm weather.

South Boys’ Basketball
Mounties in midst of tough stretch
NEW MARKET – Southmont is in the
middle of a tough stretch, facing their
third back-to-back weekend in the season’s first four weeks. Coming off last
Saturday’s nine-point loss at Cloverdale,
the Mounties will look to rebound Friday
as Sagamore Conference foe Danville
invades Bob J. Tandy Gymnasium. They
will entertain South Putnam Saturday.
The Class 3A, No. 7 ranked Warriors
enter the contest at 2-1. They are led by
senior Ryan Cloncs 14.7 points and Jake
Elliott’s 12 points per game. Their only
loss came at the hands of Mooresville in
triple-overtime last Friday. Danville has
won all 18 meetings with the Mounties
since joining the conference in 1999.
The Mounties enter at 2-2, and 0-1 in
the Sagamore Conference. They have
three in double figures led by sophomore
Camden Chadd at 13.8, senior Jarrett
Todd averages 12.8 and junior Andrew
Travers, 10.0. Chadd leads the team in
rebounding at 8.5 per game.
Friday is a boy-girl doubleheader,
with the girl’s game starting at 6 p.m.
with the boys to follow.
South Girls’ Basketball
Mounties head to second conference game
After their first SAC game against
Tri-West in the first game of the season,
South looks to break even on their conference record of 0-1.
They are at 4-6 on the season, coming
off a 49-58 loss against Seeger. Avery Hess led the team with 14 points.
Marlowe McVay added 11 points and
eight rebounds. Reagan Case steers the
Mountie season with 101 points followed
directly by Brittany Barrett with 92
points.
Danville (5-3), who leads the series
12-6 in the past 15 years, is directed
by senior Hannah Newby’s 105 points.
She is 32 percent on her three shooting.
Senior Maddie Krodel powers the middle
with 63 rebounds.
Danville dominated last year’s matchup 66-25 in January. The Mounties have
a tough road ahead and will start their
engines Friday at 6 p.m.

Athenians coming off first loss
Crawfordsville will look to
get back on the winning track
as they’ll travel to West Lafayette Friday to battle the 1-2 Red
Devils.
Crawfordsville enters at 2-1,
and 0-1 in the Sagamore Conference, coming off last Friday’s
loss at Lebanon. West Lafayette
is finally back to full strength,
and picked up a 29-point win
over Benton Central last weekend.
The Red Devils average just
over 62 points per game while
surrendering 57. They are led
by San Jose State recruit Nai
Carlisle.
The Athenians average
60-points offensively. Crawfordsville has four players who
average in double figures led by
Devin Guard with 11. Konnor
Smith and Trent Johnson average
10.3 points and Cameron Harris
10. Smith, Johnson and Ryan

survivors,
Christmas with cowboys Cancer
fighters honored
By Leeann Doerflein
leeann@thepaper24-7.com
Tired of traditional
holiday celebrations?
Cowboy Christmas at the
Tannenbaum Cultural
Center/Rotary Jail Museum has you covered.
There will be events, pie,
chili, prizes, a cowboy
Santa and more this Saturday from 1-6 p.m.
“This will not be your
normal Christmas celebration. It’s a different
type of event,” Rotary
Jail Museum Executive
Director Matt Salzman
said. “For one thing Santa will be a cowboy.”
Salzman said the
museum typically offers
a Victorian Christmas
celebration, but since the
Rotary Jail is closed for
Cowboy Christmas EVENTS
Cowboy Christmas at the Tannenbaum Center 1-6 p.m.
Cowboy Santa 2-3 p.m. and 5-6 p.m.
Chili cook-off 2-4 p.m.
Pie Eating Contest 3:30-4 p.m.
renovations this gave the
museum an opportunity to
try something new. The
reason for the western
theme is that Crawfordsville was once considered
the western frontier.
Salzman mentioned the
jail’s botched first hanging where The New York
Times referred to Crawfordsville as ‘a western
town’ as proof.
The Tannenbaum
Center will be decked out
for the holidays, but it
will also have a western
feel with some Wild
West memorabilia. There
will be several events
happening throughout the
day including Christmas
crafts for kids, Christmas
shopping opportunities
and a silent auction. Pies
from County Market and
Cracker Barrel as well
as gift baskets, wreaths
and ornaments will be up
for auction to benefit the
museum.
From 2-4 p.m. there
will be a chili cook-off
with an opportunity to
vote for your favorite. A
pie eating contest from
3:30-4 p.m. with pies
donated by K & K Café
of Waynetown. Cowboy
Santa will be available
for pictures 2-3 p.m. and
5-6 p.m.
Entries to the pie eating
contest and chili cookoff will be accepted until
Friday. To enter call the
Rotary Jail at 362-5222
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Entry fees are $20 for
chili and $10 for pie.
Prizes will be awarded
for best pie eater and best
chili.
Admission to the event
is $5 for kids and $7
for adults. Admission
includes access to voting,
crafts, contests and a free
picture with Santa.

No county health surprises
By Leeann Doerflein
leeann@thepaper24-7.com
The Montgomery County
Health Department released
their Health Needs Profile
Tuesday.
Neither Accreditation
Coordinator Luke Wren
nor County Sanitarian
Amber Reed were really
surprised about the state of
the county’s health. Reed
said the county is about as
unhealthy as she expected.
“It really kind of confirms what we did think.
We have definitely seen
trends from a state and
national perspective and
what we are seeing here
is not unlike them,” Reed
said. “The only thing that
is different is how you approach them. Our community is different than those
around them so our process
to address them will be
different.”
Though Wren and Reed
were not surprised, they
said community members
might be.
“That’s part of why we
made this a public document. People might be surprised because they don’t
see this stuff every day,”
Wren said. “That’s we are
looking forward to, seeing
the community’s response.”
Reed said the profile can
be a wake-up call for people who are stuck in their
routine. She said people
who work out a lot might
not realize the county’s
average BMI is so high.
Or people who have plenty
to eat might not know that
food shortage is high for
the poor.
“When this is path you
follow you might not
realize the other paths need
help,” Reed said.
Reed said the profile nor
the health needs survey
revealed a pronounced lack
of awareness for services
or that there was a certain
service that the county is
lacking. Some things that
the survey did show is that
survey takers believe there
is a need for more childcare
and dental care options
and also that people do not
know where to find birth
control.
Reed said the county had
done some good things to
improve health like having
the farmers market, having
programs at the Athena
Center and Crawfordsville
Parks and Recreation,
educational programs at the
Purdue Extension, nutrition
programs at county schools.
Reed said there are a
lot of things that both the
department and individuals
can do better in the future.
“There are a lot of different options that we could
be doing better. That’s not
to say we are doing them
all poorly,” Reed said.
“There is always room for
improvement, it doesn’t
matter what our numbers
are.”
The health needs profile
is a combination of outside
data and the results of
health needs survey that
many county residents took
earlier this year. The profile is posted on the health
department’s website and
hard copies are available on
request.
Wren said the profile
does not tell the county in
explicit terms what it needs.
The profile is a snapshot of
the county’s overall health
that the health department
can use to base future
action upon to make an
effort to help residents get
healthier.
“We are presenting data
based on our findings we
are not trying to say these
are the most important areas. We are trying to cover
a lot of areas and through
this process we will identify
priority areas that we will
address in our Community
Health Improvement Plan,”
Wren said. “In this profile
we are not necessarily calling out the top two or three
issues.”
Wren said the profile
takes a snapshot of health
in areas like nutrition,
physical activity, chronic
diseases, obesity, cancer,
substance abuse, sexual
health, quality of care at
medical facilities, poverty,
socio-economic details,
housing, childcare, senior
services and more.
“We are giving a profile
of these topics,” Wren said.
“We are not, through this
document, saying that these
are the most important
details.”
Wren said the community
will decide what the priorities will be through either
a public forum or focus
groups. He said the forum
or group will consider eight
to 10 topics from the profile
to decide what the priorities
should be to improve health
going forward. The group
or forum will choose two to
five that will be priorities.
Wren said more details
will be available later, but
it will be open to anyone
in the county who wants to
participate. The discussion
will be facilitated by the
Wabash College Public
Discourse Fellows in late
January.
The profile and public
conversations will help
Wren create the Community Health Improvement
Plan that will be submitted
as part of the health department’s accreditation with
the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). The
plan will include measurable goals to achieve progress on the goals established
by the public.
“This is will be baseline
data,” Wrens said. “Five
years from now we can use
this to see what we have
improved.”
