At least a dozen cases of canine influenza have been reported in the northwest part of Indiana, but none were reported in Wabash County, according to the Indiana State Board of Animal Health.
 
Since the beginning of April, an outbreak of canine flu that started in Chicago has sickened more than 1,1100 dogs in the Midwest, killed at least five, and recently spread to Indiana. As of April 21, nine dogs caught the virus in Lafayette and the Muncie Animal Shelter quarantined 70 dogs, putting adoptions on hold after several dogs returned with the virus after being neutered at Purdue University.

Three Wabash County students attended the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) Camp on April 17-19 in Brookston as the 2015 Wabash Rotary Club delegates.
 
Northfield High School juniors Madalyn Dale and Jessika Krom joined Southwood High School sophmore Paul Farlow at Camp Tecumseh YMCA Outdoor Center to develop leadership skills among chosen students from 55 other Rotary Clubs in northern Indiana.
 
“(RYLA) is an opportunity to mentor promising young leaders that are serving their own communities and beyond,” said Dana Brady, local committee chair. “The whole idea behind this, as far as this club is concerned, is that we believe in the program. We’ve seen what it’s done for a number of years.”
