By CoUrTNEy HUGHETT
Martin County Journal Publisher
Only 24 percent of registered voters in
Martin County turned out to cast their ballots in Tuesday’s Primary Election- 1,916
of the 7,724. With this being the first election with combined polling sites, Clerk Julie
Fithian said there were no problems that she
heard of. “I think the word got out,” she
said. Approximately 1,100 republican ballots were cast and 900 democratic.
In the only opposed race in Martin
County, for democrat recorder, Mitchell
Green defeated Carrie Gabhart 417 votes to
386. Green will go on to face incumbent
recorder Gerald Montgomery in the fall
election. After the results, Green said, “I
want to thank everyone who worked the
polls for me and the entire Martin County
community for coming out and voting. Let’s
do it again in November, I plan to campaign
twice as hard for the General Election.”
Also in the fall, a new commissioner in
district one will be selected. Republican

John Wininger who is not seeking re-election. Dan Gregory (R), currently unopposed, received 775 votes for commissioner
district three. Gregory currently holds that
seat.
In the county council at large positions,

the General Election in November. Incumbents Warren Albright, Floyd “Lonnie”
Hawkins, and Richard Summers will face
off along with newcomer Joshua Hughett.
Three will be chosen. Albright received 741
votes, Summers finished with 543 votes,
Hawkins had 483, and Hughett finished
with 453.
In unopposed races, January Roush, for
Martin County Auditor, received 597 votes
and if left uncontested to November will replace current auditor Nancy Steiner who is
not seeking re-election.
Vicki Boyd, also uncontested currently,
would replace current treasurer Diana
Schutte. Boyd received 644 votes last night.

JOURNAL
Abbott Laboratories settles The Messmer Report
consumer suit for $1.9M,
By District 63 State Representative
Medicaid suit for $4.9M
Mark Messmer
Attorney General Greg Zoeller announced Monday that the State of Indiana
will recoup millions of dollars in two separate settlements of multistate lawsuits
against pharmaceutical maker Abbott Laboratories over illegal off-label marketing of
its drug, Depakote.
In a case investigated by the Attorney
General’s Consumer Protection Division
(CPD), Indiana will receive $1,978,345 in
the settlement with Abbott Laboratories, as
part of a larger $100 million settlement
with 44 other states and the District of Columbia that is the largest consumer protection-based pharmaceutical settlement ever
reached.
Separately, the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) Monday
joined in a multistate settlement with other
states and the federal government to resolve allegations that Abbott Laboratories
engaged in illegal marketing practices involving Depakote that resulted in false
claims being submitted to the Medicaid
program for reimbursement. Indiana will
recover a total $4,923,742.07 in the Medicaid settlement, as part of a larger $1.5 billion civil and criminal settlement between
Abbott and the federal government, 48
other states and the District of Columbia.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the $1.5 billion settlement is the second-largest recovery ever from a
pharmaceutical company through a single
civil-and-criminal settlement.
“Pharmaceutical companies that illegally
market drugs for off-label purposes must be
held accountable for their actions and this
settlement should serve as a warning to others,” Zoeller said. “The substantial payments to states under these dual agreements
and the marketing restrictions imposed will
address many concerns identified in the
parallel investigations, including prohibiting any false representation of the drug in
the future.”
Each settlement was finalized and filed
today in court by the Indiana Attorney General’s Office and attorney general counterparts in other states and by the DOJ against
Abbott Laboratories, based in Abbott Park,
Illinois.
Depakote is approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration for treatment of
seizure disorders, mania associated with
bipolar disorder and prevention of migraines. While it is not illegal for physicians to prescribe drugs for off-label uses
the FDA has not approved, it is unlawful
for drug companies to market drugs to doctors, healthcare providers and institutions
for unapproved uses.
In a complaint filed Monday in the multistate consumer-protection case along with
the settlement agreement, the 45 state attorneys general including Zoeller alleged that
Abbott engaged in unfair and deceptive
practices when it marketed Depakote for
unapproved off-label uses, including schizophrenia, agitated dementia and autism.
The complaint Zoeller’s office filed Monday in Marion Civil Superior Court 5 alleges violations of the Indiana Deceptive
Consumer Sales Act.
Similar allegations were raised in four
whistleblower lawsuits filed under the
False Claims Act that were consolidated
into one case in U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Virginia. The 49 states
and federal government alleged that from
January 1998 to December 2008, Abbott
Laboratories misbranded Depakote by promoting the drug to control agitation and aggression in elderly dementia patients and
for treating schizophrenia when neither of
these uses was approved by FDA. That resulted in ineligible claims being submitted
to Medicaid and other health care programs
that unnecessarily reimbursed the claims.
The whistleblower lawsuits also alleged
that Abbott Laboratories made false and
misleading statements about the safety, efficacy, dosing and cost-effectiveness of Depakote for some unapproved uses;
improperly marketed the product in nursing
homes; and paid illegal remuneration to
healthcare professionals and long-term care
pharmacy providers to induce them to promote or prescribe Depakote.
In the $1.5 billion Medicaid fraud settlement, Abbott Laboratories will pay the
states and federal government a total $800
million in civil damages and penalties to
compensate Medicaid, Medicare and other
healthcare programs for program funds
wrongly paid out. Moreover, Abbott Laboratories pleaded guilty today to violating
the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
and agreed to pay a criminal fine and forfeiture of $700 million. It also must enter a
corporate integrity agreement with the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services
– Office of Inspector General.
Under the False Claims Act, the four
whistleblowers – called “relators” – who
originally filed suit and exposed fraud
against government programs will receive
a portion of the recovery in an amount yet
to be negotiated.
Meanwhile, as a result of the states’ investigation in the consumer-protection
case, Abbott has agreed to significantly
change how it markets Depakote and to
cease promoting off-label uses. Under the
consumer-protection settlement, Abbott
Laboratories is:
• Prohibited from making false or misleading claims about Depakote;
• Prohibited from promoting Depakote
for off-label uses; and
• Required to ensure financial incentives
on sales do not promote off-label uses of
Depakote.
Also, for a five-year period, Abbott must:
• Limit the creation and use of responses
to requests by physicians for non-promotional information about off-label uses of
Depakote;
• Limit dissemination of reprints of clinical studies relating to off-label uses of Depakote;
• Limit use of grants and continuing medical education;
• Disclose payments to physicians; and
• Register and disclose clinical trials.
Zoeller said individual consumer claims
would be handled through private class action cases.
The False Claims Act is a legal tool in
federal and state law that allows whistleblowers to expose illegal conduct, stop
fraud against government contracts and potentially receive a portion of any monetary
recovery. Since January 2009, the Attorney
General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has
joined in 18 settlements of whistleblower
lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies
for illegal off-label marketing that resulted
in more than $30 million in recovery to the
Indiana Medicaid program.
Zoeller and deputy attorneys general at
MFCU also have led presentations to
groups of health care workers to educate
them about their legal right to bring
whistleblower lawsuits – called qui tam
lawsuits – under the False Claims Act, as
part of a public-awareness effort called
“Blow the Whistle on Fraud.” Members of
the public who want to learn more about
whistleblower lawsuits or report suspected
Medicaid fraud can find more information

Having a say in our
choice of health care
Across the country, a topic that continues
making headlines is President Obama’s federal health care overhaul. Currently, the U.S.
Supreme Court is working to decide if the
plan is constitutional. In fact, Indiana is one
of 26 states involved in the lawsuit that
deems it unconstitutional for the federal
government to require all Americans to purchase health insurance.
In order to strengthen our stand against
this mandate, this session the General Assembly passed legislation that added Indiana
to the Health Care Compact (HCC) with
multiple other states and would allow Indiana to remove itself from the federal government’s universal health care mandate.
The HCC is an interstate compact which
is an agreement between two or more states
that can be adopted as part of the law in
each state with the consent of Congress.
The HCC has to be approved by Congress
before it can be implemented. Currently,
Georgia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and
Utah have all joined the compact along with
Indiana; and 11 other states are considering
joining, as well.
Ultimately, the HCC would serve as an alternative to the federal universal health care
law and would give Indiana the flexibility
it needs to create a plan that is best for
Hoosiers. Under Obamacare, states have
very little flexibility in operating the state
Medicaid program and the number of federal mandates relating to health care seems
to be increasing at an alarming rate.
One of the most disturbing facts about the
mandate is that it would cost U.S. taxpayers
approximately $2.3 trillion to implement.
The most recent estimate from Indiana officials is that it would cost Hoosiers between $2.6 and $3.1 billion from 2014 to
2020.
It is our hope that with the HCC we can
potentially reduce the costs and the scope
of the government, while also increasing
government efficiency and flexibility. I am
always in favor of Hoosiers being able to
decide how and when to spend their hardearned money. With the approval of the
HCC, Indiana would be able to do just that
and create a health care plan that is best for
Hoosiers.
Indiana is home to some of the best physicians, medical experts and health care facilities, and I am confident that with their help
we could create a superior health care plan
for Indiana. I’m pleased we were able to
take this step because Hoosiers deserve to
have a say in how they receive their health
care and how their money is spent.

April’s national employment situation
Nonfarm payroll employment rose by
115,000 in April, and the unemployment rate
was little changed at 8.1 percent, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last Friday. Employment increased in professional
and business services, retail trade, and health
care, but declined in transportation and warehousing.
Household Survey Data
Both the number of unemployed persons
(12.5 million) and the unemployment rate
(8.1 percent) changed little in April.
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (7.5 percent), adult women (7.4 percent), teenagers
(24.9 percent), whites (7.4 percent), and Hispanics (10.3 percent) showed little or no
change in April, while the rate for blacks
(13.0 percent) declined over the month. The
jobless rate for Asians was 5.2 percent in
April (not seasonally adjusted), little changed
from a year earlier.
The number of long-term unemployed
(those jobless for 27 weeks and over) was little changed at 5.1 million in April. These individuals made up 41.3 percent of the
unemployed. Over the year, the number of
long-term unemployed has fallen by
759,000.
The civilian labor force participation rate
declined in April to 63.6 percent, while the
employment-population ratio, at 58.4 percent, changed little.
The number of persons employed part time
for economic reasons (sometimes referred
to as involuntary part-time workers) was essentially unchanged in April at 7.9 million.
These individuals were working part time
because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time
job.
In April, 2.4 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, essentially
unchanged from a year earlier. (The data are
not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals
were not in the labor force, wanted and were
available for work, and had looked for a job
sometime in the prior 12 months.
They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the
4 weeks preceding the survey.
Among the marginally attached, there
were 968,000 discouraged workers in April,
about the same as a year earlier. (The data are
not seasonally adjusted.)
Discouraged workers are persons not cur-

rently looking for work because they believe
no jobs are available for them. The remaining
1.4 million persons marginally attached to
the labor force in April had not searched for
work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for
reasons such as school attendance or family
responsibilities.
Establishment Survey Data
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by
115,000 in April. This increase followed a
gain of 154,000 in March and gains averaging 252,000 per month for December to February. In April, employment rose in
professional and business services, retail
trade, and health care. Transportation and
warehousing lost jobs over the month.
Employment in professional and business
services increased by 62,000 in April. Since
a recent low point in September 2009, employment in this industry has grown by 1.5
million. In April, employment in temporary
help services edged up by 21,000. Employment grew in architectural and engineering
services (+7,000) and in computer systems
design and related services (+7,000).
Retail trade employment rose by 29,000
over the month. General merchandise stores
added 21,000 jobs in April but has shown no
definitive trend in recent months. Employment in building material and garden supply
stores continued to trend up; the industry has
added 19,000 jobs since December.
Health care continued to add jobs
(+19,000) in April. Within the industry, employment in ambulatory health care services,
which includes home health care and offices
of physicians, rose by 15,000.
Within leisure and hospitality, employment
in food services and drinking places continued to trend up (+20,000) in April. Since
February 2010, food services and drinking
places has added 576,000 jobs.
Manufacturing employment continued to
trend up (+16,000) in April, with job growth
in fabricated metal products (+6,000) and
machinery (+5,000). Since its most recent
employment low in January 2010, manufacturing has added 489,000 jobs, largely in
durable goods manufacturing.
Transportation and warehousing lost
17,000 jobs in April, with employment declines in transit and ground passenger transportation (-11,000) and in couriers and
messengers (-7,000).
Employment in other major industries, including mining and logging, construction,
wholesale trade, information, financial activities, and government changed little in April.
The average workweek for all employees
on private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged
at 34.5 hours in April. The manufacturing
workweek edged up by 0.1 hour to 40.8
hours, and factory overtime rose by 0.1 hour
to 3.4 hours. The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on
private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged at
33.8 hours.
In April, average hourly earnings for all
employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose
by 1 cent to $23.38. Over the past 12 months,
average hourly earnings have increased by
1.8 percent. In April, average hourly earnings
of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees rose by 3 cents to $19.72.
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for February was revised from
+240,000 to +259,000, and the change for
March was revised from +120,000 to
+154,000.

report: Indiana ranks near
top as best state for business
Indiana was ranked as the best place to
do business in the Midwest and the fifth
best nationwide in a survey of more than
500 chief executives by Chief Executive
magazine. This is the third ranking in less
than eight months in which the Hoosier
State’s business climate has scored a top
ten finish nationally.
The magazine’s eighth annual “Best &
Worst States” survey asks CEOs to evaluate states based on business tax policies,
regulation, workforce quality and livability factors. Indiana’s ranking in the survey
has moved up eleven places since 2010.
“Today’s announcement is the third
prestigious ranking Indiana has received
in less than eight months from people in
the business of economic development,”
said Dan Hasler, Secretary of Commerce
and chief executive officer of the Indiana
Economic Development Corporation.
“Chief executives across the nation are
taking notice of our skilled workforce, fiscal stability and business-friendly policies
and recognize Indiana as one of the most
attractive states in the country for business.”
Indiana’s 5th place ranking makes it the
only Midwestern state in the publication’s
top five. Among neighboring states, Kentucky ranked 25th, Ohio ranked 35th,
Michigan ranked 46th and Illinois ranked
48th.
Chief Executive magazine noted in this
month’s issue, “North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia and Utah held up their position in
the top 10, with Indiana moving up a
notch to fifth. CEOs indicate that workforce quality is the state’s single greatest
strength, and since it became the 23rd
right-to-work state last year, the Hoosier
State is likely to punch above its weight
competitively in the future.”
The Chief Executive magazine ranking
is the latest in a series of national accolades Indiana’s business climate has garnered. Site Selection magazine rated
Indiana’s business climate best in the Midwest and sixth nationally, according to a
November 2011 survey of national real estate executives and a review of Indiana’s
economic development record. Also, Indiana’s business environment recently
scored a top five finish nationally in Area
Development magazine’s September 2011
top states for doing business survey.
Chief Executive magazine is a bimonthly publication for top management
executives published by the Chief Executive Group LLC. Founded in 1977, the
Chief Executive Group LLC is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut. The
“Best & Worst States,” survey results are

Indiana Department of Child Services to
reinvest $10 million to strengthen families
The Indiana Department of Child Services
announced last Wednesday that it will issue
nearly $10 million in rate increases to community-based service providers beginning
last week. The agency says this is a step in
making good on a commitment it made in
2010 to service providers who help to keep
children safely at home or with relatives.
“When the economy created a budget crisis, many service providers helped us meet
the needs of Indiana children and families by
temporarily lowering their rates so we would
not have to cut programs,” said DCS Director James Payne.
With the new contract adjustments, approximately 300 providers of child and family social services will receive increases from
8 to 15 percent in the rates DCS currently
pays. These community-based service
providers provide therapy, parenting-skill
building, child development education, drug
treatment, domestic-violence and other services to meet the needs of families.
DCS relies heavily on these organizations
to successfully implement a best practice
known as ‘safely home families first.’ “Our
goal is to keep children safely in their homes,
if possible, or with their own extended family
members first, which lessens the disruption
in their lives if they must be removed from
their home,” said Payne. “This is a practice
Indiana has adopted that’s proving to be
more beneficial to children in the short term
and long term.”
DCS has been working closely with these
providers over the past year to ensure that the
efforts to safely home families first are a success.
“Through our partnership, DCS has
demonstrated their willingness to assist us in
supporting and protecting Indiana’s most
vulnerable families and children,” said
Nancy Hughes, Indiana Coalition of FamilyBased Services facilitator. “They listened to
us, demonstrated respect, and worked internally toward successful implementation of
safely home families first.”
About Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS):
DCS is committed to protecting children
who are victims of abuse or neglect. The
Agency’s primary goal is to safely keep these
children at home with their families by offering appropriate support services. If safety
continues to be a concern, relative or foster
care placements are necessary. DCS also
oversees adoptions from the foster care system and manages the Child Support Bureau.
The Kids First Trust Fund, supported by the
sale of ‘Kids First’ specialty automobile license plates, subsidizes programs designed
to prevent child abuse and neglect. Indiana

pray a prayer, make a decision, accept
Christ and that is it.
Jesus wants to call you to abandon your
plans, your dreams, your ideas, your possessions, the hope of living out a nice comfortable middle class Christianity.
Abandon it all to show the glory of Christ.
There is no better way you could spend
your life than making His worthiness
known among all people.
He is worthy of our personal comfort.
From our Scripture, Luke 9: 57-62, the
first guy says, “I will follow you wherever
you go.” Would this guy be a wonderful
witness for Jesus? He was a scribe; a religious leader who knew the bible. But He
thought if he followed Jesus he would be
alongside a famous person and be in with
the comfort of Jesus being a celebrity. But
Jesus showed him that there was no comfort in where He was going. There is a
cross at the end of this road. No personal
comfort. You follow me and I am all you
got. I am not a means to an end for you. I
am the end. This is huge for us. Jesus is
sold as a means to an end. Come to Jesus
so you can get stuff. Forgiveness happiness, heaven, this is the prosperity gospel
which is no gospel at all. Come to Jesus
and you can get money, health and wealth.
No, you come to Jesus to get . . . Jesus.
Yes, I said a prayer. But not living like
He is enough. It’s blasphemy. You are living so far from Jesus. You won’t go to
heaven if you don’t want Jesus. He is the
one we want; He is the one we need. He is
the only one who will satisfy our soul. He
is the end. We don’t live like He is enough.
We fill our lives with so much stuff.
Clearly Jesus is not enough. If you are

Pastor, New Beginnings Church
The cost of Following Jesus
Luke 9:57-62
Here’s what I see. There are too many
people that have no perception of what
God requires for a living relationship with
Him. Yes the gospel is easy. Jesus died on
the cross because we are sinners and need
some way to pay the penalty for our sins.
Jesus did just that. So if we would believe
in Him and give our life to Him we will be
able to go to heaven. Ask Jesus into our
heart! Isn’t that what we say when we talk
to someone to get saved; just ask for forgiveness. Yes, we have to do that. How
about believe Jesus is God. The devil believes that. Yes, all those things are true.
The gospel is simple. The life of following
Jesus is not simple. We have this old nature
that wants what it wants. Isn’t there more
to it than saying some superficial prayer or
some mundane attempt to make sure we
are not going to hell.
Jesus says there is. It seems every time a
crowd was following Jesus He would turn
and say something obscure that would lead
people away instead of to Him.
If we are truly going to follow Jesus we
don’t have time to play games with our
lives or play games in the church. We can’t
live some false Christianity. Jesus was a
radical in His day and calls us to radical
urgency. He never says that all you have to
do is pray this prayer and you will be
saved. Jesus called for greater things. He
didn’t say at some emotional time or some
concert or some fiery preaching that makes
you think for the moment that you need to

going to follow Jesus, He is sufficient.
Jesus is worthy of our personal comfort.
He is worthy of all your plans and
dreams. The second guy said let me go
bury My father. It was a nice sentiment but
in reality he was saying I have plans to get
my father’s inheritance. And if I wait for
that, things could be good. He just heard
Jesus tell the other guy that there is no
comfort following Him. This way he could
finish up things in the world and make it
more comfortable. He had plans. Jesus told
him let the dead bury the dead. Otherwise
let those who aren’t following me take care
of the secular things. You have much more
important plans. Jesus says, “But as for
you go and proclaim everywhere the Kingdom of God.” You don’t get the picture
here. Your priorities are messed up. Secular matters belong to secular people.
You’re telling Me you want to follow Me
into the Kingdom of God, then forget the
secular world and do what relates to the
Kingdom. If you are going to follow Jesus,
He is worthy of all your plans and dreams.
He wants you to show His glory by telling
others how to know Him.
Lastly, He is worthy of all your affections. The third guys said, “I will follow
you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to
those at my home.” If you are going to fol-
low Jesus there is affection for Him that
supersedes even the deepest ties on this
earth. In the twenty-fifth verse of Luke 14,
“Multitudes were coming along. Jesus
turned and said, ‘If anyone comes to Me
and doesn’t hate his own father, mother,
wife, children, brother and sisters, and yea,
hate his own life, he can’t be My disciple.’
It means that your love for God is so great
that it is like hate comparatively.
John MacArthur put it this way; And
Jesus is simply saying to these people,
“Look, if you’re holding back anything,
you can’t come in. Salvation is for those
who have come to complete self-denial.”
The Lord may not take away all your comfort. He may not take away all your possessions. He may not take away all your
relationships. But you’re not negotiating.
You’re simply saying the infinite value of
the gospel of Jesus Christ is so great that
if He asks, I’ll give it all up. I’ll give it all
up.
Being a follower of Jesus Christ is not
easy. The gospel message is simple, but
following and being one of His disciples is
about giving it all to Him. He can do so
much more with our lives than we can. If
you are wondering about your salvation,
call Pastor Ernie. He will be glad to talk to
you, 812-709-0258.

Loogootee scouts battle weather on spring outings
By JIM DUZAN
Scoutmaster Troop 484
The Loogootee Scouts made three outing
this spring, with results varying from ‘cold’
to ‘great’ to ‘wet’.
In February, with the thermometer at 17
degrees and a 25 mile-per-hour wind from
the north-west, the scouts took to the field
to see if they could fire-build and cook
under not-so-ideal conditions with the
barest of tools. Sheltered under a rock cliff,
the scouts and adults prepared kindling,
started fires and cooked lunch. The meal
was pretty bare, but they came away with
an appreciation of you really can do under
conditions that most people won’t step outside in.
In March, Troop 484 and the Cub Scout
Pack 444 made a joint trip to the Hoosier
Hills Climbing Gym in Bloomington.
Scouts, cubs, and adults tried their hand at
indoor rock climbing and bouldering under
the watchful and helpful eye of gym instructors. Some stayed close to the ground and
tried the tricky boulder room, while others
climbed to top and rappelled/bounced back
down.
To close out the spring, the scouts attended the Spring Camporee at the Washington Conservation Club over the weekend
of April 27 to 29. After placing 1st in the
knot relay on Saturday afternoon, the
weather intervened by blowing a tornado
warning through the campsite, forcing
everyone to take shelter in the club house.
After the all-clear sounded, the damage was
surveyed and all the troop’s tents and gear
was still standing (unlike several other
sites). Despite two-plus inches of rain that
night, breakfast of pancakes and bacon
came off without a hitch.
The Loogootee Scouts wish to thank the
Washington Conservation Club for the donation of the use of the facility, and also a
special thanks to the Loogootee-Shoals
Delta Tau Chapter of Kappa-Kappa-Kappa.
Their donations from this and past years
help make the trips and activities the scouts
take possible.
Vaccinations extremely important this spring
The unseasonably warm winter and the
summer-like days that graced us throughout
early spring were welcomed by more than
warm-blooded humans—insects. Indiana’s
winter was not cold enough to kill off the
hibernating insects and their eggs. Now
they are out in full force this spring, and
much sooner than normal.
Mosquito-borne diseases, such as West
Nile virus (WNv) and eastern equine encephalomyelitis, are likely to emerge earlier
this year. WNv has already been documented in a Pennsylvania horse—extremely
ahead of normal for the season. Thus far, Indiana has not had any positive reports of
WNv. This year, early vaccinations would
be a wise choice.
Animal owners can limit the mosquito
population around their farms by using appropriate insecticides and by eliminating
stagnant pools of water. Sites in which mosquitoes lay their eggs include puddles, old
tires, buckets, potted plant trays. Gutters
should be kept clean and pools need to be
treated regularly.
Rabies is another disease that may be

making an early emergence. Like the insects, bats have been brought out of hibernation earlier than normal this spring. Just
in March 2012, Indiana had four positive rabies cases all involving bats—including one
incident at an Indiana University dormitory.
Typically, Indiana does not have any rabies
cases until April. State law requires all dogs,
cats, and ferrets 3 months of age and older
be vaccinated against rabies. Either a 1-year
or 3-year vaccine may be used. Indiana does
not provide vaccination waivers to any animals due to medical conditions.
Rabies is not the only disease for pet owners should be more aware of this spring. Reports say that heartworm disease will be on
the rise this year due to the warmer weather.
Another disease rearing its ugly head is distemper. The city of Dallas is experiencing
an outbreak of distemper in raccoons. Although humans cannot contract the disease,
companion animals can, and they should be
vaccinated to prevent illness. This summer
will be unusual, insect-wise, so be prepared
to take steps to keep family pets healthy
from disease-carrying vectors.

New virtual public high school to
offer college credit through VU
Beginning in fall 2012, Achieve Virtual
Education Academy will offer college
credit courses in partnership with Vincennes University.
Achieve Virtual, Indiana’s first virtual
public high school, opened in the summer
of 2011 in the Metropolitan School District
of Wayne Township.
Since it was launched, more than 150 students have taken courses through the
school on a full-time or part-time basis.
Achieve Virtual students can now be found
throughout the state of Indiana. VU and
Achieve Virtual Education Academy
signed a Memorandum of Understanding
creating the partnership on April 24.
“Achieve Virtual has grown much more
quickly than we had anticipated; most
likely because it serves students with a
wide variety of needs,” said MSD of
Wayne Township Superintendent Jeff
School board meetings
Loogootee School Board meeting
The Loogootee School Board will meet
Tuesday, May 15 at 7 p.m. in the meeting
room off the superintendent’s office. Items
on the agenda include textbook adoption,
second reading on the 2012-13 student
handbooks, and dual credit update. The
meeting is open to the public.
Shoals School Board meeting
The Shoals School Board will meet tomorrow night, Thursday, May 10 at 5 p.m.
in the central administration office. Some
items on the agenda include summer coaching hours’ discussion, first reading of student handbooks, and reduction in force
discussion. The meeting is open to the public.
Butts. “It is helping students recover credits
so they can stay on track to graduate. It is
also providing new options for students in
rural areas whose schools may not offer
some of the courses they’d like to take.
Now, Achieve Virtual will give high school
students an option that’s in increasing demand: college credit.”
This is not the first partnership between
the MSD of Wayne Township and Vincennes University. The two first forged a
partnership several years ago to create Ben
Davis University High School, the earlycollege high school in Wayne Township. In
2011, Ben Davis University had a 100 percent graduation rate, which was the highest
in the state. In addition, the vast majority
of Ben Davis University students earned
two-year associate degrees.
“Vincennes University is delighted to
enter into this partnership with the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township. By working together to extend the
reach of Achieve Virtual Education Academy, more Hoosiers will be provided the
education they need to improve their lives
and reach their goals,” said VU President
Dick Helton.
In this new partnership the college
courses offered through Achieve will be
taught by MSD of Wayne Township teachers and the final exams will be created and
overseen by VU professors. Staff from VU
and MSD Wayne will collaborate throughout the year to ensure that the needs of their
students are being met.
More information on taking high school
or college credit courses through Achieve
Virtual is available by calling 317-9887144 or visiting www.achievevirtual.org.
