ANGOLA — Three northeast Indiana residents were arraigned July 31 on a variety of charges related to a methamphetamine sting that occurred July 30 and into the following day.

Facing Steuben Circuit Court Judge Allen Wheat were Stacy L. Hicks, 44, Corunna; Sharon K. Schimpf, 35, Butler; and Loeta L. Dickerson, 55, Hudson.

During the day July 30, Hicks allegedly sold meth to an confi dential informant in exchange for $275 and over-the-counter cold medicine used in the manufacture of methamphetamine, court documents said.

After receiving a search warrant early the following day, police from multiple agencies went to the home of Dickerson in Hudson, where they found meth being made in the garage and other items associated with meth, court documents said. Because the residence is within 1,000 feet of a town park, many of the charges were enhanced.

Hicks, was charged with manufacturing meth within 1,000 feet of a public park, a Class A felony, and possession of two or more chemicals or reagents with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a public park, a Class C felony.

Hicks is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail and is facing up to 58 years in prison. Benjamin Nordmann was appointed counsel for Hicks.

Schimpf was charged with Class A felony aiding in manufacturing of meth within 1,000 feet of a public park. She also is being held in

lieu of $100,000 bond and is facing up to 50 years in prison. Anthony Kraus was appointed as her attorney.

Dickerson was charged with Class B felony possession of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a public park, Class A felony maintaining a common nuisance and Class A misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia. She is facing nearly 25 years in prison. Her bail was set at $50,000, and she told Wheat she plans to hire her own attorney.

All will see their cases go through Steuben Superior Court. During their arraignments, pretrial conferences were set for Sept. 30 and trials on Oct. 31 for all three.

The Steuben County Sheriff’s Depart-ment was the lead agency working the case. Assisting agencies included the Ashley Police Department, DeKalb County Sheriff’s Depart-ment, Fort Wayne Police Department Vice and Narcotics Unit, Hudson Marshal’s Offi ce, IMAGE Drug Task Force, Indiana State Police Meth Suppression Section and the Steuben County Health Department.

AUBURN — This summer’s fi rst sign of West Nile virus in DeKalb County has arrived, the DeKalb County Health Department said Friday.

A sample pool of mosquitoes collected July 17 in the county by the Indiana State Department of Health has tested positive for the virus, said Bernie Sukala, the county’s environmental health specialist.

Sukala said mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus tend to lay their eggs in ditches and catchba-sins with high organic matter,

septic system discharge sites, unused wading and swimming pools, vehicle tires and other containers of water.

Most people — about 80 percent — of people who are bitten by infected mosquitoes will have little or no symptoms, Sukala said. More than 19 percent will experience a relatively mild illness or fever.

Fewer than 1 percent will be susceptible to one of the more severe forms of the disease, which may result in encephalitis — an infl ammation of the brain

— or meningitis, an infl amma-tion of the tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord. Animals also can be infected with West Nile virus.

Sukala said to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, people should avoid heavily wooded areas or tall weeds, if possible.

For people who must be outside during the periods from dusk to dawn, or in heavily shaded areas, Sukala offered these tips:

• Make sure to use an effective mosquito repellent.

• Make sure all windows and

doors have screens that are in good repair.

• Frequently empty containers of water around residences.

• Make sure any ponds on a property contain fi sh or frogs that eat mosquito larvae.

• Keep tall weeds and overgrown areas to a minimum.

• Place any tires without rims so that they cannot collect water, or dispose of them properly.

Sukala said the Indiana State Department of Health no longer

AREA DEATHS

By State Sen. Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn)

This past session, lawmakers worked with Gov. Mike Pence to prioritize Indiana businesses and help unemployed Hoosiers get back to work.

We focused on managing Indiana’s fi scal health by passing an honestly balanced budget and reducing taxpayer-funded debt. We also passed signifi cant tax cuts, further empowering working families and businesses who are trying to expand.

Over the past few years, I’ve made a conscious effort to

support Indiana’s tradition of hard work, low taxes and low business regulations. Indiana has reduced its corporate income tax rate, capped property taxes, cut the individual income tax and eliminated the inheritance tax. These efforts have been recognized, as Indiana ranks fi rst in the Midwest in the Tax Founda-tion’s most recent Business Tax Climate Index.

Such measures are paying off in tangible ways, too. As the economic engines begin to turn again, Indiana remains at the head of the pack.

Our state’s economy grew at the 8th-fastest rate in the nation in 2012, and statistics show that in June, the manufacturing industry saw its biggest one-month jobs gain in nine years.

These factors all emphasize that Indiana is a state that works for business, but there is still more we can do.

Each year, as technology develops and business practices

advance, we must take steps to ensure burdensome regulations are not impeding potential progress.

According to Gov. Pence’s offi ce, there are more than 11,000 business regulations currently on the books. The overwhelming number of guidelines and “red tape” for businesses is hindering what’s really important: more jobs for Hoosiers.

That’s why the Offi ce of Management and Budget created the new “Cut Red Tape” website.

This website allows Hoosiers from all walks of life and all different sectors of business to

submit their suggestions on ways to help streamline, reduce, improve or eliminate government regula-tions.

You can help determine which of these are getting in the way of making Indiana the most effective, prosperous and effi cient state in the country.

To directly submit your thoughts to the “Cut Red Tape” website, visit in.gov/cutredtape. As always, you can also contact me with your ideas by email at [email protected] or by phone at (800) 382-9467.

What do you think?

How do we cut government red tape?

BOLAN DRUGGIST BOTTLE

As construction crews were excavating for the new Maple Street between Main and Green streets, they uncovered this intact glass medicine bottle bearing the inscription, “M.J. Bolan, druggist, City Drug Store, Butler, Ind. According to research by Phil Carpenter and Lynn Kaiser, Bolan operated the drug store located in downtown Butler in the 1880s. In later years, George W. Geddes studied pharmacy under Bolan, and Geddes eventually purchased and operated the drug store for several years. Today, the building still stands, and is home to the Smokin’ BBQ Shack.

Participants can learn how to create beautiful decora-tive table centerpieces out of fruits and vegetables. Prosser will provide handouts to assist guests in creating a full-size centerpiece at home.

The cost is $5 due at class time. Participants should bring a sharp paring knife and small cutting board to the class.

Indiana Homemakers celebrate 100 years

AUBURN — The Indiana Extension Homemakers celebrated their 100th year during the Home and Family Conference on June 12-14 at Purdue University. Thirteen members from DeKalb County attended the conference.

The conference began with a business meeting installing the new state offi cers for the upcoming year. Jeanine Arnett of Butler was elected as the new vice president, following a term as district representative.

A luncheon followed with Jan McInnis as speaker. A choral concert by the Melody Makers of Indiana, consisting of approximately 250 homemakers, was enjoyed in the evening.

The gala banquet was the highlight June 12 with over 600 people in attendance. Other highlights of the event were a brunch with speaker Anne Ryder.

Ryder was a former newscaster for Channel 13 in Indianapolis. She was the last media person to interview Mother Theresa. More than 20 interesting programs and tours were given throughout the event.

Anyone who is interested in meeting new people, learning new things, healthier living and community service are welcome to visit an extension homemaker’s meeting. For more information, call Joan Hursh at 925-0617 or the extension offi ce, 925-2562.
