As a photographer, Amy Brown, Bella Bloom Fotos, is nostranger to capturing pivotal moments in the lives of herclients. Over the holidays, she was given the opportunity tocapture one such moment for Raymond and Caitlyn Wilson andtheir five-month-old son. Caitlyn, a Wabash High School graduate, is a member of the

Army National Guard. She currently resides in Fort Wayne, whereshe attends Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne.Raymond is an active duty Marine, currently deployed ona 24-month tour in Japan. The couple married on Aug.13, 2011, just two weeks after the birth of their son,Paxsten. “Raymond was able to do recruiter’s assistance

and come home for the birth,” Caitlyn explained.“About two and a half to three weeks after the baby wasborn, he left and that was the last time he saw him.”This year would be the Wilsons’ first Christmas as a

family, and they had hoped to spend it together. Therequest process began in October.“I put in my leave request, which isn’t guaranteed or any-

thing, but I put it in saying I’d like to take the days off and goback to the states to visit with my wife and son,” Raymond said.The request was approved in mid-November, but Raymond didnot tell Caitlyn. “I was pretty upset about it. In my mind, I was positive he was-

n’t coming home,” Caitlyn said.Since she would not be spending Christmas with her new hus-

band, Caitlyn hired Bella Bloom Fotos to take pictures of herand Paxsten to send to Raymond for Christmas. “We took the photos and I posted them on Facebook and she

talked to Raymond and the next day he called me,” Amy said.Raymond wanted to set up an appointment for family pho-

tos during the short time that he would be home, but he didnot want to risk the surprise of his homecoming beingleaked to Caitlyn.“I got Amy’s voicemail a few times and had to keep calling, I did-

n’t want to take the chance of leaving a voicemail and her acciden-tally calling Caitlyn back,” he said.When Raymond and Amy made contact, an elaborate scheme was

concocted.“I asked him how he was going to surprise her and he said he did-

n’t know, so I said ‘Why don’t we do it here?” Amy said.Shortly thereafter, Amy called Caitlyn with an offer. She asked if

Caitlyn would be interested in doing a promotional photo shoot foran upcoming fictional military special. Raymond’s plane was set toland at 8 a.m. on Dec. 22, so Amy asked if Caitlyn could come at 11a.m. that day. When everything was set in stone, Amy sent a messageto Raymond that said: “She’s in.”During the following weeks, anticipation mounted as Amy and

Raymond kept their secret. Amy listened as Caitlyn discussed, onFacebook, the fact that she would not be seeing her husband until May.“She had no idea we were already planning this and that it wasn’t going

to be May, it was going to be a couple weeks,” Amy said. “It made the antic-ipation stronger, but it also made more pressure. There’s a lot of pressure inpulling off a surprise like that. One little thing could throw the whole thing off.”Amy and her assistant, Hayley, choreographed Raymond’s arrival, developed

code words and arranged the room so that they would be prepared to photo-graph and video the emotional event. It began to play out on the morning of Dec.21 when Raymond boarded his first plane at Okinawa, Japan. From there, heflew to Tokyo, Japan, and then to Los Angeles, Calif., before finally arriving atFort Wayne International Airport on Dec. 22 at 8 a.m.In order to guard the surprise, Raymond had to do some planning for the 26-

hour flight, during which he would be out of contact with Caitlyn. He andCaitlyn usually made contact via Skype, a video chatting program, every day

dropped open, likeyou see in the pic-tures, and she just satthere like that, shedidn’t say anything,”Raymond added.Caitlyn continued,

“Then we just startedhugging and I gavehim Paxsten. I wasvery happy, I washolding back tears.”The couple spent

Lt. Governor unveils local government recommendations After traveling to 27

counties for round-table discussions withlocal elected officials,Lt. GovernorSkillman released areport containinglocal government rec-ommendations thatcould be addressed asearly as this year. Thereport touches onitems from fiscal flexi-bility, to professional-ism standards, to jointpurchasing expan-sion.“These ideas come

straight from localelected leaders, whowitness firsthand allthe benefits and con-sequences of stategovernment and leg-islative action,” Lt.

Governor Skillmansaid. “As a formercounty official andlegislator, I know col-laboration can lead togiant leaps forward inthe way we provideservices to Hoosiers.”In July, Lt.

Governor Skillmanembarked on her“Hoosier CrossroadsTour”, which willeventually take her toall 92 counties by theend of 2012. Thus far,she has met face-to-face with nearly 200mayors, county com-missioners and localelected officials, seek-ing their advice onhow the state andlocals can better worktogether. She was

joined at the pressconference by repre-sentatives of theAssociation ofIndiana Counties andthe IndianaAssociation of Citiesand Towns.Not surprisingly

due to the recession,the most commonchallenge reported bylocal governmentswas lack of sufficientrevenue. WhileSkillman insisted theproperty tax caps thathave saved taxpayershundreds of millionsof dollars must stayin place, she is advo-cating fiscal flexibili-ty at the local level. Flexibility meas-

ures include allowing

transfers of surplusrevenue to maintainroads and streets, achange in the 911funding mechanism,broadening theoptions for legaladvertising, and a ref-erendum process forlocal units of govern-ment that need moreoperating revenue,similar to existingprocesses for schools.More joint purchas-ing options and pre-approved infrastruc-ture plans from thestate could also savelocal taxpayers mil-lions of dollars.Lt. Governor

Skillman also strong-ly supports adoptionof anti-nepotism and

conflict of intereststatutes for localelected officials, addi-tional streamlining oftownship govern-ment, and a standardof excellence certifi-cation for local offi-cials and units of gov-ernment that meetmodel state stan-dards.“Today, it’s a neces-

sity for every officialto seek ways tostreamline govern-ment and improveservices,” Lt.Governor Skillmansaid. “By working inpartnership, we cancreate more efficiencyand continue to moveour communities for-ward.”

daughter of Jo Wood,owner of the long-standing downtownfamily business,Woods Framing andArt, and the gallerywill be a division ofthat business. AsDeVore began toexpress more of an

interest in the busi-ness, the family beganconsidering the ideaof adding an artgallery.“We batted that

idea around anddropped it forawhile,” Wood said.“This summer, she

Downtown Wabash welcomes Artistica Gallerycame in and said, ‘Idon’t know, Mom, I’dstill like for you to putthe gallery in.”At that point, they

decided to go forwardwith that plan. In thefall, they began rear-ranging and remov-ing the craft merchan-dise from the store.They donated thou-sands of dollarsworth of craft sup-plies to local teachersand nonprofit organi-zations. They began a

remodeling project,which included newflooring, paint, wood-work, carpet andtrack lighting, andopening a doorwaybetween the galleryside of the store andthe retail side. All ofthis work was com-pleted by family, andthey had planned torely heavily on Jo’shusband, Dick, andhis expertise in con-struction work.Unfortunately, thatplan did not come tofruition when Dickbecame ill and passedaway on Nov. 7.Jo and Joyce will

State Sen. JimBanks (R-ColumbiaCity) announced leg-islation he co-authored, to toughenIndiana’s human traf-ficking laws, passedout of the SenateCommittee onC o r r e c t i o n s ,Criminal, and CivilMatters by a vote of 9-0. Senate Bill 4 makes

it unlawful to arrangefor a person to partici-pate in any forced sex-ual act. Currently,Indiana law only pro-hibits forced mar-riage and prostitu-tion.“This is a serious

worldwide problemepidemic - and it’sgrowing,” Banks said.According to the U.S.State Department’s2010 Trafficking inPersons Report,around 12.3 millionadults and childrenare trafficked acrossinternational bordersinto forced labor andsexual exploitationworldwide. Due to events sur-

rounding the upcom-ing Super Bowl inFebruary, it wasessential for the bill tobegin the legislativeprocess immediately.Organized criminalswho exploit young

women and childrenthrough human traf-ficking gravitate tosuch gatherings,according to IndianaAttorney GeneralGreg Zoeller.Currently, legal loop-holes within Indianalaws could allow someforms of the humantrafficking activity togo unprosecuted. “This law would

close those loop-holes,” Banksexplained. “With theSuper Bowl coming toour state, we mustgive our law enforce-ment the tools toeffectively prosecutetraffickers.”

Recently, Indianaearned a D grade fromShared HopeInternational, a lead-ing sexual-traffickingawareness group, onthe effectiveness ofhuman traffickinglaws within theHoosier state. Gov. Mitch Daniels,

Attorney GeneralGreg Zoeller, MarionCounty ProsecutorTerry Curry and Sgt.Jon Daggy with theI n d i a n a p o l i sMetropolitan PoliceDepartment have allannounced their sup-port of the bill.
