by Brent SwanDr. David Roe, a long-time Marion

physician, became the Wabash CountyHealth Officer March 1, replacing Dr.James Rudolph. After retiring from prac-tice in 2010, Dr. Roe and his wife begancontemplating construction of a homeoutside of Lagro when he learned of theposition.“We had decided we were going to

build on the property we had owned forthe past 28 years,” Dr. Roe recalled. “Wecalled the County Health Office to speakwith Jennifer Scott about a septic systemand she said they were going to be with-out a County Health Officer. I thought itover for a bit and talked to some of ourfriends, Dean and Kae Gifford, and decid-ed to give it a try.”Born in Alabama, Dr. Roe spent the

majority of his childhood in Illinoisbefore attending the University ofIllinois where he received his undergrad-uate degree and a master’s degree inchemistry. Dr. Roe then went to theUniversity of Illinois-Chicago where hegraduated from medical school in 1972. “I did my surgical residency at the

University of Illinois and spent a year aschief resident there before coming herein 1977 to Marion. I practiced generalsurgery in Marion until 2010 when Iretired.”According to Dr. Roe, the County

Health Officer is primarily responsiblefor overseeing the County HealthDepartment’s staff, as well as overseeingthe administration of immunizationsand maintaining a medical license tolegally sign and validate birth and deathcertificates.

“Within this office, we have JenniferScott, who does the EnvironmentalHealth certifications for septic systems,to detect contamination of streams, andfor CAFO operations, making sure theydon’t have any effluent contaminatingwaterways,” Dr. Roe said. “And she alsotests and gives permits for septic sys-tems. They use four or five soil special-ists that test the ground – all of that isnecessary to ensure you do not get fecalcontamination getting back into thewater supply.”In addition to Scott’s office, the County

Health Department is also responsiblefor conducting restaurant inspectionsand certifying food preparation through-out Wabash County, and making surefood is prepared in a sanitary manner.“Lynn Dannacher does the restaurant

inspections and has a list of all of therestaurants and food preparation placesin the county,” Dr. Roe said. “We overseeany facility that prepares food and havethe power to demand something bechanged, if needed. Ultimately, we canshut someone down or fine preparers forflagrant violations.”In addition to the Environmental

Health and Food side, the County HealthDepartment is most easily recognized asthe center for vital records and immu-nizations. Kathy Carter-Lower and LynnEllis are the office administrators incharge of the health office functions aswell as vital records. “Anyone that wants a birth certificate

or death certificate must come throughthis office,” Dr. Roe said. “If someonedies, the attending physician would

make the statement that they had diedand complete the appropriate paperworkand forms. Records are monitored by the state,

and everything is online now. We get a lotof people that come in doing genealogyresearch, for example someone maywant to know birth and death dates orburial locations for their grandparents –we are able to pull up that informationfor those interested.”The Wabash County Health

Department also employs two publichealth nurses on staff, Taisha Moore andLori Foust, who take care of the immu-nizations and conduct various healthfairs at the area schools.“They do more than just give immu-

nizations against measles, chickenpox,and mumps,” Dr. Roe explained of thenurses. “They also go out and talk to kidsabout sexually transmitted diseases(STDs), healthy lifestyles, about how tochoose your diet and activities to lead ahealthier lifestyle.“I was just talking to the nurses about

the county health rankings that comeout every year and about 70 percent ofthe factors that determine the rankingsare based on lifestyle choices,” Dr. Roesaid. “That’s what we are trying to dowith encouraging healthier lifestyles.We can’t dictate to someone how they aregoing to live, but we can try to educatethem so they make healthy choices.There’s smoking, alcoholism, obesity,drug use, and then you get into the eco-nomic factors of unemployment andcriminal activity. All of those have a neg-

ative health impact. We would like to beable to stamp it all out, but of course wecan’t.”A very important part of public health

is the immunization against communica-ble diseases, and that is readily availableat our County Health Department. But

according to Dr. Roe, many people stillwrongly believe immunizations pose anunnecessary health risk “We’re trying really hard to ensure all

the school kids are immunized,” Dr. Roesaid. “One of the big problems we still

the process was intimidating.“I’d never been through a

phone interview before, but itprobably made me more nerv-ous when I came before thelocal board because it’s peopleyou know,” Christopher said.“There were 17 people in thisroom, looking on and listeningat once.”After formally accepting the

Dr. David Roe... continued from front pageencounter is that onesmall segment of thepopulation feels thattheir children shouldnot be immunized asthey fear they mightbecome autistic or getmercury poisoning.There is absolutely noproven evidence any-where that immuniza-tions are bad. TheCenter for DiseaseControl down at

Atlanta has a data-base and there aremaybe a few caseseach year of someonewith an allergic reac-tion to an immuniza-tion out of millionsgiven. “They screen the

kids to make surethey do not have aller-gies to any kind ofegg products or any ofthe other possible

growth media theyhave for the killedvirus,” Dr. Roe contin-ued. “You are muchsafer getting theimmunization thanyou are driving to theplace to get the immu-nization. If you go tothird world countriesand see the polio,diphtheria, tetanus,typhoid, polio, andwhooping cough they

have, you realize howfortunate we are tohave ready access toimmunizations andvaccines.”In addition to offer-

ing immunizations,the County HealthNurses play a largerole in the annualKindergarten Round-Up, hosted by the localschools to ensure theincoming class of

k i n d e r g a r t e n e r smeets entrancerequirements.“The County Health

Nurses went out to allthe schools and it waspretty well received,”Dr. Roe said. “Statelaw says all the chil-dren must be immu-nized prior to begin-ning school. You don’twant a child withchicken pox or

measles sitting in aclass infecting every-one else. If everyoneis immunized, youdon’t have to worryabout it - it just does-n’t make any sensenot to.”According to statis-

tics from the state ofIndiana, less than 10percent of childrenentering kinder-garten in WabashCounty are behind onimmunizations whilethe state average iscloser to 30 percent.Although still rela-

tively new to theCounty HealthDepartment, Dr. Roesaid his first monthon the job has beensatisfying.

“I’m still learningthe ropes, of course,but each week theIndiana Departmentof Health sends out aletter about what isgoing on in the stateregarding publichealth issues and thatis very interesting toread,” Dr. Roe said ofhis experience thusfar. “I went down tothe County HealthOfficers’ meeting inIndianapolis March21 and it was interest-ing to meet the otherCounty HealthOfficers and see theproblems they arehaving and how theyrelate to small com-munities like WabashCounty.”

Wabash Countynative... continuedfrom front pageare almost all linedup; maybe about fourto go as of right now.They have been print-ing signs for the live-stock shows and send-ing out letters to makesure all the projectsare registered.”According toChristopher the ani-mal registration dead-line, May 15, is fastapproaching.“I’d like to work on

increasing the 4-Henrollment and try toget some more youthi n v o l v e d , ”Christopher said ofher short-term goals.“I’d like to get out inthe community andmake sure peopleknow what our youthare doing. We wantthem to know that thekids do more than justshow the projects atthe fair - that’s just asmall portion of allthe hard work thatgoes into it.” One change already

in store for the 2013Wabash County Fairis the relocation ofthe Queen Coronationto the HoneywellC e n t e r . “This year we aregoing to hold the coro-nation the Sundaystarting judgingweek, which is slatedto begin the week ofJuly 4,” Christophersaid. “We feel it givesthe Queen and hercourt more time to

Upgrades part ofGeneral Motors’Essential BrandElements

By Shaun TilghmanS h e p h e r d ’ s

Chevrolet, Inc., locat-ed at 1002 SR 114W, inNorth Manchester,has joined thousandsof General Motors(GM) dealers acrossthe country inupgrading their retailfacilities to betterserve the needs oftheir customers.In October of 2009,

GM began a programcalled EssentialBrand Elements,through whichChevrolet, Buick,GMC, and Cadillacdealerships wereencouraged to volun-tarily participate inan initiative toimprove the image oftheir facilities. Alongwith providing mone-tary incentives tocomplete facilitiesupgrades, GM alsorewards dealers formeeting customerexperience standards,such as extensivesales and servicetraining.Tim Shepherd,

President of theNorth ManchesterShepherd’s, says thatwhile GM has beenpushing dealers to getinvolved with the pro-gram, it is not manda-tory. “For us, it wasjust the right time andit made a lot of sense

to get onboard with aprogram like this,especially since GMwas offering somecompensation towardour investment,”Shepherd said.“In the past, we

have discussed thepossibility of a newbuilding to house ourservice department,but we just hadn’tpulled the trigger onit,” he continued.“Once GM was will-ing to kick somethingback on the money wewould need to spendto do it, we decided tomake the long-termcommitment to GM,and to NorthManchester. Aninvestment like this isnot only good for ourbusiness, but hopeful-ly it will help grow thecommunity as well.”The Shepherd’s

Family Auto Groupalso has locations inKendallville andRochester, both ofwhich have alreadycompleted similarrenovations – GMwants each Chevroletstore to have the“same look,” accord-ing to Shepherd. Workbegan at the NorthManchester locationless than four monthsago, and Phase II ofthe two-phase projectactually got under-way this week.The first phase

involved building abrand new, 10,000-square-foot facility

PLENTY OF SPACE - This new 10,000-square-foot service department allows Shepherd’s Chevroletto increase their ability to satisfy their customers’ needs. (photo by Shaun Tilghman)

Shepherd’s Chevrolet remodelingto enhance customer experience

for the service depart-ment, which is locat-ed south of the mainentrance to the lot onproperty Shepherd’shad to acquire andrezone in order tomake room.According toShepherd, the newservice departmenthas approximately 13bays, compared to theseven bays offered inits former location.“During our grow-

ing process, thingshad gotten crampedin the old servicedepartment, and thisallows us to provide amore professionalservice experience toour customers,”Shepherd explained.“The new buildingoffers 10 lifts, as wellas the space neces-sary for a heavy dutylift for big trucks andschool buses. With theadditional space, wewill now be able to selltires and performalignments on thenew equipment,which was not possi-ble in the previousservice building dueto lack of space. “The new building

features a larger partsroom, a central toolstorage area, anemployee break room,and additional stor-age space. Additionalupgrades include newworkbenches in everybay and an in-groundexhaust system, forwhen the techniciansare working on vehi-cles and have to havethem running inside.”Now that construc-

tion for Phase I iscompleted – otherthan pouring the side-walks and asphalt,which was delayeddue to weather –Phase II has becomethe priority. The sec-ond phase involvesrenovations to theexisting Shepherd’sretail facility.The original build-

ing, which housedeverything from theservice departmentand parts room to theshowroom and cus-

tomer lounge, willundergo some majortransformations inthe coming months,with a timeframe forcompletion tentative-ly set in late July,according toShepherd.Dealers that have

opted to participate inthe improvement ini-tiative are expected tofollow the designguidelines for theirrespective brand, asset forth by GM.Generally, thoseguidelines include thedesigns for new exte-rior entrances withupdated signage, abright showroomwith a customergreeting station, amodern customerlounge with free Wi-Fi, and even the floor

tiles and paintschemes are mandat-ed.The local dealer-

ship will incorporatemany of the afore-mentioned elementsin attempts to bettersatisfy their cus-tomers’ needs andprovide an overallenhanced customerexperience, Shepherdstated. In addition,there will be two newoverhead doorsinstalled on the south-east side of the build-ing; one door will bethe entrance for cus-tomers dropping off avehicle for GM certi-fied service, while theother will be an areawhere customers pickup their new and pre-owned vehicles.“By adding these

elements, we arestriving to make ourdealership more cus-tomer-friendly, thusensuring them thebest possible experi-ence,” Shepherd said.“Other renovations tothe original buildingwill involve the salesoffices, employeelounge, and retailparts counter, as wellas the addition of aconference room.Another new additionwill be a GM accesso-ry room, which willspotlight many of theGM accessories thatare available for yournew GM vehicle.”He concluded by

pointing out that itwas important forthem to view thisproject as not just ameans for improvingtheir business, but as

a means for helpingthe community theirbusiness serves,which is why theyused local companiesfor all aspects ofwork, including elec-trical, plumbing,flooring, concrete, etc.Shepherd went on tosay that, as a result ofthis renovation proj-ect, they are also inthe process of hiringthree more positions –assistant service advi-sor, technician, andsales.Once Phase II is

c o m p l e t e d ,Shepherd’s plans tohold an Open Houseevent. For a look atthe design of the newShepherd’s Chevrolet,visit www.shepherds-gm.com and click onShepherd’s NorthManchester.

Dear Editor,Indiana is taking

“one step forward,two steps backward.”That will be the endresult for Indiana ineconomic and healthterms if the Houseand Senate’s proposedbudget is passed with-out restoring fundingfor tobacco preven-tion and cessation to$8 million.Indiana legislators

took a small step for-

ward last year byremoving smokingfrom many publicworkplaces. That cou-pled with years ofwork educating peo-ple about tobacco andhelping people quithas helped reduce thesmoking rate signifi-cantly. In fact,between 2000 and2010, there were219,000 fewer adultsmokers in the state.According to the

Robert Wood JohnsonFoundation CountyHealth Rankings,Wabash Countyranked 30 percent ofits residents as smok-ers. In 2013, that num-ber decreased to 20percent.Prevention pro-

grams and cessationprograms- like thefree Quit Line-require funding.What may surprisemany people is the

Lynn asks Indiana legislators to helpwith smoking prevention programs

fact that the state hasthe money. Everyyear, money wasdesigned to help curbtobacco use, but overthe years, legislaturehas stripped awaymore and more ofthat funding for otherpurposes.We’ve made big

strides in reducingdeath and diseasecaused by tobacco.Now is not the time tocripple the programsthat can be creditedwith that progress. Iask our legislators toadequately fund thetobacco preventionand cessation pro-gram. Contact DaveWolkins [email protected] and JimBanks at [email protected] soon as possible!Let them know whatthey need to do forWabash County andthe state.Thank you for your

interest and concern.Respectfully,

Pat LynnWabash

owner of Hang EmHigh Gutters andConstruction, saidafter 40 plus years inthe trade, he is con-stantly surprised bythe condition of manygutters throughoutthe community.“As spring comes

around, people tend toforget to check theirgutters,” Hooks said.“After years of wearand tear they canwork their way loose.Sometimes, theymight get hit by amower and dislodged.If it’s in alley, maybe akid has pulled it outsome.”When gutters lose

function, Hooks saysproblems areinevitable.“Good gutters pro-

tect your home,”Hooks said. “Aftertime, if that waterisn’t carried awayfrom your home, it caneat your mortar out.You can walk around alot of houses and seewhere the mortar isstarting to crack

because of poordrainage.”As a result, Hooks

says most, if not all,insurance companiesrequire homeownersto utilize a gutter sys-tem to protect theproperty. “If the gutters are

sagging, or if you haveput nails in them atsome point, you couldhave affected the spac-ing and that can leadto problems too,”Hooks continued.“You really need tomake sure the groundaround the foundation

is sloped away fromthe home, which willhelp to carry the wateraway.”A contractor him-

self by trade, Hookssaid when choosing tohire someone forrepair work to hiresomeone insured.

“A lot of people outthere don’t have anytype of insurance,”Hooks said. “If theyget hurt on that prop-erty, the homeowner’sinsurance is responsi-ble for that injury.”To contact Hooks,

Latest employmentreport shows nationalslowdown is begin-ning to be felt inIndiana

Indiana’s unem-ployment rate was 8.7percent in March,unchanged from theprevious month as thestate lost about 11,000private sector jobs, an

indication that thenational slowdown isbeing felt here, saysBall State economistMichael Hicks. “Nationally, full

time job creationnumbers have beendeclining or stagnantthroughout 2013,” hesays. “It wasinevitable that thefactors weighing on

the national economy,including higher pay-roll taxes, a laggingEuropean economyand continued uncer-tainty regardinglabor costs into 2014as a result of theAffordable Care Act,would come home toroost in Indiana.” The resiliency and

relative strength of

Indiana’s economyremains the onebright spot in thisreport, says Hicks,director of BallState’s Center forBusiness andEconomic Research.“With job losses of

11,000 we still seeoverall job numbersover the past yearexceeding all but a

Employment slowdown being felt in Indianafew states,” he says.“Moreover, we enjoy agrowing labor force,which speaks well tolong term prospects.Still, these numbersare bad, and with aworsening nationaleconomy, employmentdata are likely to dis-appoint for months tocome.”

Free event onSaturday, April 27 tofeature entertainment,prizes, food, a two-mile classic run, andof course, 10,000blooming tulips.

It all started whenPeabody decided tobeautify its campusby planting one ofMother Nature’s mostbeloved symbols ofspring with tulipbulbs purchased fromHolland, Michigan, ahamlet honoring itsown heritage with a“Tulip TimeFestival.” ThePeabody beautifica-tion effort continuedeach year as the sea-son’s first warm dayspushed the flowersthrough the ground,springing them to arainbow of color andsplendor. In the spring of

Signs of spring herald 15th annual TulipFestival at Peabody Retirement Community

1998, the tulips pre-sented a particularlyspectacular displaypractically beggingPeabody to share thepanorama with sur-rounding communi-ties. An old-fashionedice cream socialseemed to suit theoccasion and the pub-lic enjoyed both abeautiful and deli-cious afternoon atPeabody. The tulips ofspring 1999 repeatedtheir bountiful per-formance and soanother ice creamsocial, this timeaccompanied byentertainment gavebirth to Peabody’sAnnual TulipFestival.Each year as the

tulips debuted, moreand more came to seethe spectacle and areabusinesses began toparticipate by donat-ing prizes, raffles andequipment. In 2003,and continuing to thisday, a very generousgift from Roger andJudy Moore of TheHardware putsPeabody’s landscapecrews to work eachfall planting over10,000 tulips through-out the grounds, cre-ating an even morefantastic sight, andincreasing interestand participation the

following spring. The Grand

Marshall of The 15thAnnual Tulip Festivalis Mariana Reed.Mariana Reed has

seen many a TulipFestival. A happyPeabody resident for20+ years, she lovesthe community and isthrilled to serve asGrand Marshall. “Iam so honored to havebeen chosen as theGrand Marshall forPeabody,” she says. Itcomes as no real sur-prise Mariana wasselected. It seemsservice and honor hasalways been part ofher life. A World War II

Army WAC Nurse,Mariana was particu-larly glad to meet fel-low WACs and WAVEs(Women Accepted forVolunteer EmergencyServices) when shecame to Peabody. Atage 25, she was swornin to the 34th WAAC(Women ArmyAuxiliary Corps, laterchanged by Congressto WAC), and sent toFort Des Moines. Then it was over-

seas to Cheltenham,England working inthe Central RecordsAggutant Unit for sixmonths and becominga corporal. While noone in Mariana’s unit

was allowed inWestern England dueto bombings, she didhave to comply withcurfews, and while onfurlough in London,she viewed an air raidreenactment light andsiren show nearBuckingham Palace.She ended her time asa WAC when her unitmoved to Paris.Remarkable toMariana about WWIIwas how “everyonecame together to helpkeep the country run-ning.” Look for familiar

Indianapolis –Hoosiers who haveexperienced financialhardships of varioustypes now may quali-fy for the IndianaF o r e c l o s u r ePrevention Network’s(IFPN) Hardest HitFund. IFPN is astatewide multi-agency collaborationoperated by theIndiana Housing andC o m m u n i t yD e v e l o p m e n tAuthority (IHCDA).Indiana’s Hardest

changes:1) Nearly double

significant expensesrelated to non-electivemedical procedures

or emergencies; (d) ormilitary service. 4) Transition assis-

Eligible home-owners with unafford-able mortgage pay-ments who obtain ashort sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosurefrom their lender/ser-vicer and leave theirhome in a saleablecondition may receive$2,500 to assist withmoving and reloca-tion expenses; and upto $5,000 paid to theirlenders/servicers tohelp facilitate theshort sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosureagreement. 5) Unemployment

Local breast cancersurvivor, NatalieRager, founded theHot Pink Mommas in2009, and since then,the group has raised$78,967 for the SusanG. KomenFoundation.

“Being a breastcancer survivormeans I get to be hereeach day with my

family and friends,and that your healthis priceless. My moti-vation to fight comesfrom wanting to be ashealthy as I can beand to help find a curefor breast cancer,”Rager said in anemail.In October of 2008,

at the age of 38, Ragerwas diagnosed with

Brandt’s Harley Davidsonhelps local group raisemoney for breast cancer

stage 3 breast cancerafter finding a lumpherself.“I did six months of

chemotherapy and 40rounds of radiation,followed by a bilateralmastectomy,” shesaid.Rager finished radi-

ation in May of 2009and completed herfirst walk in June of2009 in Chicago, Ill.“The Chicago walk

was life changing forme. Training for thewalk helped me stayactive and bonded mewith amazing team-mates. After goingthrough this, I could-n’t have asked for bet-ter support,” she said.The Susan G.

Komen 3 Day Race forThe Cure is a 60 milewalk in which eachparticipant has toraise $2,300 to gotowards breast cancerresearch. 85 percent ofthe net proceeds from

the event benefitsSusan G. Komen forthe Cure, an organiza-tion that has played apart in every majoradvance in the fightagainst breast cancer,from research to edu-cation to advocacy for30 years.For three days, par-

ticipants walk besidefellow survivors, hus-

bands that have losttheir wives, and otherpeople who have lostloved ones to breastcancer.“It doesn’t even feel

like you are walking20 miles because theatmosphere is souplifting that all youcan think about iscrossing that finishline in honor or mem-ory of your lovedones. Everyone thatwalks has a story ofwhy they are walk-ing,” Rager said. Thiswill be the first yearthat Shea Rager, oneof Natalie’s daughterswill be walking withher.There are 14 walks

in 14 difference citiesin the U.S., and it isRager’s goal to walkall 14.“The upcoming

walk in San Francisco

June 21 – 23 will be myfifth walk. In order toprepare for the walk,we have trainingfundraisers to reachour team goal’s dona-tion each year,” shesaid.In the past, the Hot

Pink Mommas, whichconsists of Rager’sclose friends and fam-ily, have had car wash-es at Shepherd’sChevrolet in NorthManchester, a golfouting at SycamoreGolf Course, a PinkOut basketball gameat Peru High School,and as a team wait-ressed at the MainView in NorthManchester, held atennis tournament atThrush Courts inPeru, a Thirty-Oneparty and variousbake sales.The Hot Pink

Mommas do not useany of their donationmoney for travelexpenses. All dona-tions go directly to theSusan G. KomenFoundation.“Through all of

this, Brandt’s Harley-Davidson has beenour biggest support-er,” Rager said.Brandt’s has donat-

ed over $14,000 to theHot Pink Mommas inthe past two years.“If you would like

to purchase a t-shirtin support of us, theywill be available atBrandt’s for $15, or ifyou would like tomake a donation onour behalf, you can goonline atsusangkomen.org andsearch for the HotPink Mommas,”Rager said.

Bedding Plants Coming!

With sunny daysbecoming morefrequent and soiltemperatures rising,a Purdue Extensionagricultural safetyspecialist warnsfarmers not to lettheir enthusiasm for

spring planting leadto injuries.

Instead, growersneed to take a fewextra minutes tod o u b l e - c h e c kequipment that hasbeen idle over thewinter and keep

Preparation, double-checking are keys to spring planting safetysafety precautions inmind.

“Farmers need tomake sure beforethey go into plantingseason that the safetyguards are in placeon their equipment,”Steve Wettschuracksaid. “Maybe a piecewas taken off last fallbecause it wasbroken or worn out,but now it needs to bereplaced. They

should make surethey’ve looked athydraulic hoses andanything else thatmight be a yearlyrepair before headingout to the fields.

“Not cuttingcorners is important.It only takes a fewminutes to make surea piece of equipmentis safe and ready fortransport.”

Safety equipment

such as headlights,taillights, hazardsigns, goggles andgloves also should bechecked beforeplanting begins.

Most farmequipment has alarge width whenfully extended, butWettschurack saidfarmers movingequipment shouldalways fold it intotransport position.

“Some toolbars onplanters are 90 feetwide when they’reopened up in thefield, and we’retalking about aroadway that’s 12 feetwide,” he said.“They’re designed tofold themselves up,maybe numeroustimes, to get down toroadway width.”

Planters, discs,field cultivators and

other equipment canbe folded uphydraulically in amatter of minutes.The equipmentshould be fully foldedbetween fields - nomatter the distancebetween them - forthe safety of thefarmer and otherdrivers.

Non-farm driversalso should be extracautious on the roadsduring plantingseason.

“Unfortunately, itseems like we havepeople in a lot moreof a hurry today, andthey don’t quite wantto get over as muchas they used to,”Wettschurack said.“But give the farmerthat courtesy. Andthe farmer needs togive that individualon the road courtesyto make sure they getby each other safely.”

Wettschurack alsoadvised farmers to dogeneral inspectionsof anhydrousammonia tanksbefore using them inthe fields. If a tankhas a water storagesupply on the side, itneeds to be fullbefore going out inthe field.

A n h y d r o u sammonia, whenspilled, can causesevere burns to eyes,lungs and skin.Because it isattracted to water,the best way tominimize injuryafter a spill is todouse the victimwith water.

“Copious amountsof water is the No. 1thing to do pre-hospital if you get adrop of anhydrous onyou. The more waterthe better,”Wettschurack said.

He cautionedfarmers to keep thewind at their backswhen applyinganhydrous ammoniato avoid exposure. Ifthe wind is from thesouth, farmers needto keep equipmentnorth of them so theanhydrous isblowing away.

Farmers shouldalso check gauges,tires and wheelbearings for signs ofdistress or rust.

“A tire blowing outwhen going 30 milesan hour down theroad can cause a lotof damage,”Wettschurack said.
