Jamie Wheeler, of Peters- burg, was thrown from a Honda Goldwing Trike on Old Petersburg Road just north of Highway 56 at about 2:24 p.m. Sunday. She was riding on the back of the trike being driven by Robert Small, 53, of Petersburg, ac- cording to the Dubois Coun- ty Sheriff's Department. Police said Small was driving east on Old Peters- burg Road (which runs from Highway 56 near Ireland to 257 in Otwell), when he en- tered a 90 degree turn too quickly and ran off the road- way. Small was not injured, but Wheeler suffered head injuries after being thrown from the trike. She was tak- en by air ambulance to Dea- coness Hospital in Evans- ville. Police said both Small and Wheeler were wearing hel- mets. Small was cited for driv- ing while suspended.

Wheeler injured in motorcycle accident Sunday A blood drive in Otwell has been scheduled for Sunday, June 15 at the St. John's Lutheran Church lo- cated at 6483 W. CR580 N. It will take place from 8 am. to noon. The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to make and keep donation appointments to maintain the summer blood supply and help pre- vent a shortage. Donors of all blood types are current- ly needed, especially those with type O negative, B neg- ative and A negative. While the need for blood remains constant during the summer, donations drop. Be- tween June and August, on average, two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what hos- pitals need. This seasonal decline could be overcome if just two additional donors – above what is expected – give blood at each Red Cross blood drive this summer. Every two seconds some- one in the United States needs blood. Recently, a patient needed 79 blood products after injuries sus- tained during a car accident. Thanks to blood donors who gave in the days and weeks prior, blood products were readily available for this pa- tient and thousands of oth- ers at about 2,700 hospi- tals and transfusion centers across the country support- ed by the Red Cross. This summer, there are 100 chances to give hope with the Red Cross by giv- ing blood. Visit redcross- blood.org or call 1-800 -RED CROSS to learn more and make an appointment. If you ever wished you could have rubbed shoul- ders with some of the rich and famous of the roaring '20s, now is your chance. In- diana Landmarks brings the period back to life at West Baden Springs Hotel dur- ing Twilight Tours where visitors take guided trips through the hotel and meet a host of characters represent- ing famous hotel guests and hotel staff. The tours are at 8 p.m., July 12, Aug. 16 and Sept. 20. Visitors will catch sight of mobster Big Jim Colosi- mo; palm reader Mademoi- selle Louise, golfer Walter Hagen, who won the PGA at French Lick in 1924; author Edna Ferber; as well as oth- er characters popular dur- ing the earliest days of West Baden's history. The actors will talk about their impreci- sions of the mineral springs and share tidbits about the grand hotel and grounds. The 75 -minute tour ends before 10 p.m. – the hotel's universal bedtime during its heyday. After the tour, visitors can enjoy one resort's restau- rants, take a moonlight stroll in the gardens or check into one of the restored rooms. Indiana Landmarks launched the restoration of the West Baden Springs Ho- tel with the Cook family of Bloomington. The Cooks re- opened West Baden—last used as a hotel in the early 1930s—to overnight guests in 2007. Indiana Landmarks, a nonprofit organization with eight Indiana offices, offers daily tours of the ho- tel in addition to the special Twilight Tours, and collabo- rates with the resort to offer Tour & Tea every Wednes- day afternoon. For more information or to make a Twilight Tour or Tour & Tea reservation, contact Sandi Woodard, program coordinator for In- diana Landmarks, toll-free 866 -571-8687 swoodward@ indianalandmarks.org. By Greg McClure, Purdue University News Pet owners should begin now to prepare their ani- mals for summer before the hot weather arrives. Steve Thompson, veter- inarian and director of the Pet Wellness Clinic at Pur- due University's College of Veterinary Medicine, says now is the time to think about parasite control, heat stroke, noise phobia from storms and fireworks, and travel arrangements for cats and dogs. "In April, May and June there is more of a tick prob- lem, primarily in dogs," Thompson says. "People are outside more and they see more ticks on dogs. There's also a new aware- ness of dogs as sentinels, particularly with Lyme disease. When testing for heartworms, a test for ex- posure to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, Bor- relia, also can be done. If dogs are going into an area where there are ticks that means people in the dog's family risk exposure to Lyme disease from these same ticks." Flea prevention could be easier for both cats and dogs, Thompson says. Fleas can transmit tape- worms to dogs and cats, as well as bartonella – cat scratch fever – to cats. "A new product, an oral tablet, can kill ticks and fleas in dogs for at least one month," Thompson says. "There's also been a big improvement in products like collars for flea preven- tion. Collars, in general, used to be poor for control- ling fleas and a bit better for ticks, but technology has improved. One new col- lar lasts many months, so even if you have a dog that swims a lot or is outside all the time, the collar or oral tablet can still be effective for one to six months." Other issues for pet own- ers to consider: • Heartworm preven- tion. Dogs and cats are both susceptible to heart- worm, which can be pre- vented with medication that kills the worm under the skin after a mosquito bite, Thompson says. No products for pets or peo- ple have long-term protec- tion to eliminate mosqui- to bites. "Sometimes cat owners believe if their cat is inside all the time there is no ex- posure to insects, but they can still encounter mos- quitoes that come through the doors after us or oth- er insects that get into the house," Thompson says. "Many of the parasites that affect cats, including fleas, can be controlled by the same heartworm products." • Heat. "The morn- ing is better to exercise dogs during hot and hu- mid weather, but not ev- eryone is a morning per- son. If you walk your dog in the evening, it should be after dark," Thompson says. "Dogs don't dissipate heat well by sweating like we can, so they must pant to cool off. "Short-faced and darker- colored dogs are at higher risk for heat stroke. Short- nosed and snub-nosed dogs have more trouble panting, particularly in high heat and humidity, and darker-colored dogs absorb heat more quickly and have more difficulty getting rid of it." Thompson reminds own- ers not to leave pets wait- ing in cars and to make sure that if a pet is left out- side during warm weather it has access to shade and water. • Travel. Pet owners considering travel need to think ahead and plan, Thompson says. "If you're thinking about traveling over the July 4th weekend, some boarding kennels already may be close to being complete- ly booked," he says. "And dogs that are boarded in a kennel typically require one or two additional vac- cines – bordetella and in- fluenza. Pet owners need to do those vaccines in the spring or early summer be- cause it takes a week to 10 days before they become fully effective. Don't wait until the last minute and try to get your dog vacci- nated on the Friday after- noon before you're leaving town." Kennels may not always the best choice for some pets. "There are more home pet and dog sitting services available now, and for dogs with separation anxiety, it may be better for them to stay in a home environ- ment than to board them in a kennel," Thompson says. "Other dogs, however, can benefit from the extra com- pany of dogs and people at a boarding facility." • Noise phobias. Sum- mer can be a stressful time for dogs that have anxieties about loud noises, includ- ing thunderstorms and fireworks. Thompson says some dogs may try to es- cape, injuring themselves by breaking teeth or nails during a panic attack. "It's difficult to do de- sensitization training dur- ing the summer because storms are more frequent, so we often use anti-pan- ic drugs," Thompson says. "There also are some non- medication methods. Snug- fitting shirts and wraps can make the dog feel safe and like a human is holding them. There also are re- laxing collars that contain a dog-appeasing pheromone chemical. They make some dogs with mild anxiety feel happy and content. The col- lars help with low-level anx- iety, so it's important to put the collar on the dog before a storm hits or before they get into a full panic. "To keep your pet safe, monitor the weather fore- cast for both you and your pet. High temperatures and storms may necessi- tate keeping your dog in- doors while you are gone."
