The victim of Thursday’s fatal house firein Terre Haute has been identified as 49-year-old Steven Wilson.

Firefighters responded to the call in the300 block of South 16th Street at about7:30 p.m. Thursday

The cause of death was carbon monox-ide intoxication, according to Dr. RolandKohr, pathologist and Vigo County coroner,

Census DataThe U.S. Census Bureau has released anew report, “Americans With Disabilities:2010.” According to the report, 56.7 mil-lion Americans, nearly 1 in 5, has a dis-ability, with more than half of themreporting the disability as “severe.”Other significant notes:■ Between 2005 and 2010, the numberof people with disabilities increased atthe same rate as the general population.Although there are 2.2 million more peo-ple with disabilities, the percentage ofpeople with disabilities stayed the same.■ As should come as no surprise, thechance of having a disability increaseswith age. People over age 80 are roughly8 times more likely to have a disabilitythan those under age 15.■ Females are 2.4 percent more likely tohave a disability. This difference is largelydue to the higher number of olderfemales.The report is based on data from the Sur-vey of Income and Program Participationcollected from the summer of 2010. Thissurvey does not cover institutional groupquarters like correctional facilities andnursing homes. Based on other CensusBureau data, had those populations beenincluded, the disability figures would like-ly be higher.

Advocatesseek statefunds forseniors

BY HOWARD GRENINGERTRIBUNE-STAR

A group of senior advocates isseeking the use of state generalfunds to pay Indiana’s match forMedicaid, allowing more money forCHOICE, a program that helps sen-iors stay in their homes.

Representatives of the IndianaHome Care Task Force, UnitedSenior Action of Indiana and theIndiana Alliance for Retired Ameri-cans said Friday in a news confer-ence in Terre Haute that $18.1 mil-lion of CHOICE funds are beingused for the Medicaid match, whichthey said should be paid from thestate’s general fund.

Of the nearly $48.8 millionappropriated by the Indiana Gener-al Assembly for CHOICE throughnext year, up to $18.1 million maybe used by the state for a Medicaidmatch through next June.

However, because the state has$2.2 billion in reserve, some of thatshould be used for Medicaid match-ing money for the aged and dis-abled Medicaid waiver and thetraumatic brain injury Medicaidwaiver, said John Cardwell, chair-man of the Indiana Home CareTask Force.

Money would go to helpprogram that keeps

ISU students still feel safe on campusBY BRIAN M. BOYCE

TRIBUNE-STAR

On campus, Friday morning’sshooting was attributed to a bad mixof booze and guns, not the communi-ty’s safety as a whole.

Friday afternoon, some IndianaState University students hadn’t evenheard about the shooting near theBallyhoo Tavern which left one mandead, two wounded and a fellow stu-dent in police custody.

Lauren Mosteller, an ISU freshmanrecently graduated from North Put-nam High School, reported beingunaware of the event which occurredabout 3 a.m. that morning. Walking toclass that afternoon, she said campussafety wasn’t among the things sheconsidered when selecting the school.

“I wouldn’t want to walk along atnight,” she said, noting that’s not aparticularly uncommon concern forwomen anywhere.
