Three-legged deer inspires
local photographers book
For Suzanne Rogers, the road to
writing a book started with a three-
legged deer almost a decade ago. As
an area photographer, she noticed
the deer in the southwest area after
taking pictures.
It was a really rough winter, she
said. [The deer] were eating in the
backyard.
Rogers didnt notice the deer only
had three legs until she went
through the photographs from her
shoot.
The following spring, the deer
showed up with babies. Rogers then
decided to name the animal
Mama.
With harsh weather, Mama had a
hard time providing for her babies.
She was starving. That was when
I decided to put some corn out for
her. I knew she would die, Rogers
said. From then on, I was really
watching for her and photographing
her.
Mama would come back around
to Rogers backyard for food.
She became a little family
member, the photographer said.
It was then that Rogers decided
she should write a book about how
[the deer] was courageous and
strong, even though she had a
disability.
Mama turned out to be a fighter,
in light of missing one leg.
She would jump fences and fight
other deer off to keep them from her
babies, Rogers said.
This story of adversity in the face
of a disability inspired her to write a
book titled My Mother Can Do
Anything. Its sold on Amazon as a
glossy paperback picture book.
The inspirational story has left an
impact in others hearts as well, the
author said.
It hits so many people, Rogers
said. I have so many women who
cry when they read it. It feels so
good to have something that strikes
a cord.
But Mama hasnt been seen in
awhile, she said.
She either left the area or she
passed, Rogers said. She was
really well known in this area
behind Homestead.
The memory of Mama and her
struggles remains close to Rogers,
who is planning to expand the story
of the first book into a generational
trilogy series.
There are a lot of people who
cheered for this deer, she said.

Bicycles in need find
CycleReCycle at church
CycleReCycle, a ministry of Risen Savior Church,
opened for business last year after congregation members
noticed how many bicycles they were seeing on the road
or in garages, in need of repair.
The organizations mission is to repair and tune-up
these bicycles to get people back on the road or trail for
physical fitness, as well as gas savings. CycleReCycle
renovates donated bicycles and makes them available to
people who might otherwise be unable to afford to
Let freedom ride
Each year around the
Fourth of July, a commu-
nity of bikers come
together to honor
Americas troops and
their efforts to preserve
freedom. The annual
pilgrimage to the
National Military
History Center in
Auburn happened once
again on July 7 at
Freedom Ride 2011.
Hundreds of bikers
gathered at Ehlerdings

The Botanical Conser-
vatorys Carman Young
likes a good scavenger
hunt. As event coordi-
nator, her research skills
were recently put to the
test when she worked on
the 1960s Album Art-
Behind the Covers
exhibit, which runs until
Aug. 29.
Finding fun facts about
album art wasnt all play
and games, but because
Young has a big interest
in music, this task was
made a little easier.
I like music a lot, she
said. I enjoy being able
to book the summer
concert series. I go to a
lot of concerts. Some of
these albums, I borrowed
from my hippie neighbors
when I was younger.
A few of the albums
that are part of the exhibi-
tion include: Crosby,
Stills and Nash, the
Beatles and the Doors.
One of the secrets
behind the Beatles
Abbey Road album is
about how long it took to
take the classical shot of
the four band members
walking across the street.
Those guys, they had
10 minutes to do a photo
shoot, so they had a
police officer out blocking
traffic, Young said.
She says this equaled
out to six shots in 10
minutes, and the fifth
shot was the one they
ended up using.
The Volkswagen Beetle
that is on the album cover
was sold for $23,000 and
is now on display in
Germany, she said.
Young has found an
interesting story for all of
the albums that are on
display.
She likes just being
able to go and research a
new story [and] learn
something new that not
everybody knows.
While the Album Art
scene isnt directly related
to the Botanicals
Summer of Love
exhibit, Young said both
displays will bring back
the memories.
For the folks that are
of that age, its going to
bring back a lot of memo-
ries, Young said, joking
that she didnt quite grow
up during that decade.
She said the display,
especially of the Volk-
swagen bus, will spark a
lot of memories, and
bring in a lot of nostalgia
of the time and the place
of what has been going
on.
The Summer of Love
exhibit will also feature a
display of 60s toys,
including favorites like
Silly Putty, Slinkies and
Mr. Potato Head.

Key tag program teaches
community awareness and
lending a hand
For the past five months, Realtor Julia
Fiechter has been incredibly busy. She
launched JFLendingahand.com, a
nonprofit, on March 15 of this year. The
program works by using a key tag, much
like the ones that are used for discounts at
convenience stores, at select retailers.
When someone presents the key tag at a
participating retailer, one or two things
can happen. The retailer will donate a
percentage of the sale, or other service, to
a charity. The program has 10 local,
partner charities. The business could also
choose to give the consumer a discount.
Bandidos Restaurant offers a 5 percent
discount when presented with a JFLendin-
gahand key tag.
Every month, [the business] can
change their charitable promotion,
Fiechter said. You show your tag, theyre
going to take 5 percent off the bill for you
and 5 percent goes to Community Harvest
Food Bank, she said, speaking about
Bandidos.
When Fiechter, who works for Mike
Thomas and Associates, discusses the
program, she talks about giving back in
every way she can to the community.
I get passionate, she said. I start to
get emotional. We have a giving commu-
nity. Our community gives all the time. It
shows the compassion we have for one
another.
Fiechter has been volunteering locally
for more than 20 years with nonprofit
organizations and has thought about
starting a program like JFLendingahand
for many years.
I have been thinking about this idea
for a long time. I had no idea how I was
going to get this idea off the ground, she
said.
She soon realized everything she was
talking about with her real estate business
was something she had brainstormed for
the program.
The two ideas meshed together and the
plan took off to combine her business,
real estate, with her passion, which is
helping people.
I never thought I would be a financial
contributor to the program. I was going to
donate 10 percent of my commissions
[from home sales]. I thought, why not
take a step up and go ahead and launch
my program at the same time?
Fiechter has never looked back from the
decision to live out her dreams.
We work with local businesses to give
back, Fiechter said. It is absolutely free
for our businesses and our charities to
participate in our program.
But new changes will make their way
into the nonprofit this summer when
JFLendingahand.com switches gears.
The current site will be solely for
Fiechters real estate business. She will
donate 10 percent of her commission
from the sale of the homes listed on the
site.
The business and charity end of the
nonprofit will then move to www.Lend-
ingtheHand.net. This site will focus on
the businesses that are giving back in the
community, just as the current site does
now, Fiechter said.
Lending a Hand Year is an additional
project she is working to plan at this stage
of program development.
The Lending a Hand campaign will go
yearlong. Everybody doing just a little bit
does so much more. Small, little efforts
that culminate in such big things. We
want to expose all the efforts and people

Melinda Troyer has a
table at the Salomon
Farmers Market. Each
Wednesday afternoon, she
sells her all-natural hand-
crafted soaps in the farms
large barn.
Starting a business
happened because of a
health issue, which caused
Troyer to look for, stuff I
was eating or putting in
my body, and the chem-
icals in body products,
she said.
Learning about the
products caused her to
delve into some research.
I started reading how
to make my own body
products and it just ended
up going into soap. I
started reading about how
to make lye soap and a
few months later, I started
making it.
It is Troyers third year
with her business.
In addition to Salomon,
she also sells her soap at
the Clinton Street Market
on Saturday mornings.
The Firefly and Zias
Coffeehouse stock her
items, as does the Country
Lane General Store in
Auburn.
She offers a variety of
products and soap blends,
which use only pure
essential oils and no artifi-
cial colorants.
One popular soap
during the summer
months includes the
Jewelweed Poison Ivy
Soothing and Moisturizing
Body Bar. The bar is
made with wild jewel-
weed, which is a natural
remedy for poison ivy.
Troyer recently had to
make more because the
supply was beginning to
run low.
It took her awhile to
find jewelweed to use in
her product.
I was trying to find
unique ways and that was
one of the herbs I found,
she said. It took me a

Hope Boutique socially
responsible shopping for children
A new boutique for
mother and child, which
donates its proceeds to a
childrens charity is
looking for volunteers to
help run the store.
The store calls it
socially responsible
shopping. With each
purchase of clothing or
gifts for mothers and
babies at Hope Boutique,
money is raised for Mad
Anthonys Childrens Hope
House, which provides
temporary lodging for
families with a hospital-
ized child receiving critical
care at area hospitals. In
2009, the Childrens Hope
House provided temporary
lodging to over 500 indi-
viduals, the organization
said.
Located on the third
floor of Lutheran Hospital,
the Hope Boutique
recently celebrated its
grand opening on July 5,
offering its first 50 shop-
pers a free gift with
purchase. The boutique is
hoping the community will
reach out and help staff the
store with volunteers to
keep things going and
continue raising money for
the childrens charity.
Hope Boutique is open
Monday through Thursday
from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. To contact the store
for more information or to
volunteer, call 260-435-

BBB issues scam notice
to SW Fort Wayne area
The Better Business Bureau of Northern
Indiana recently warned residents in south-
west Fort Wayne Friday that surveyors
canvassing neighborhoods do not represent
their organization.
A resident from the Aboite Township area
called the BBB to report individuals
walking door-to-door, asking residents
about characteristics of their home, such as
its age, siding, windows and baths. The
pollsters claimed they were hired by the
BBB to take the surveys and used clip-
boards bearing the BBB logo and
letterhead.
BBB does not send people door-to-door
ever to do a survey, said Marjorie
Stephens, BBB director of communications.
If someone approaches you or comes to
your door telling you that BBB has hired
them to do a survey, and you can get any bit
of information, please let us know. Unfortu-
nately, we dont have much information to
go on, but it is important that residents are
made aware that this is happening.
Stephens recommended residents collect
information only if they do not feel to be in
harms way. Helpful information includes a
name or license plate number, followed by
contacting the BBB and law enforcement
officials.

loom and more familiar
varieties, but all are
locally grown. By the end
of July, the carts and
tables overflow with
plump ripe tomatoes,
squash, onions, potatoes,
beans, and more - not
forgetting the first of the
mouthwatering fresh
Indiana corn on the cob.
Fresh from the vine rasp-
berries, blackberries and
true blue blueberries also
grace the market. David
Doud brings his juicy
peaches, crisp apples and
award-winning apple cider
as the season goes on.
Local merchants jump
in with goodies as well.
Grandma Sue has her pies
for sale in seventeen
different flavors: La Dolce
Vita offers crepes alfresco
or gooey cinnamon rolls,
roasted veggie salads and
delicious treats; Joseph
Decuis bakes off baguettes
hot from the oven and
their Emporium caf starts
serving lunch at 11:00
a.m.; and its never too
early to enjoy an ice
cream cone or dish of
gelato from Roanokes
newest shop, Moose &
Mollies.
Each week there is
entertainment or a theme.
Supporting the healthy

Huntington Universitys EXCEL busi-
ness students recently placed in the top 25
worldwide in the Global Business Simula-
tion Strategy Game.
Competing against teams from around
the world, four teams from the EXCEL
Adult Degree Programs business admin-
istration, human resource management
and nonprofit leadership degrees
competed in a business simulation compe-
tition hosted by GLO-BUS. The
GLO-BUS competition helps students
learn how to make decisions faced by
everyday companies by placing them in
circumstances that parallel real-world
conditions.
We are excited to have our teams do
so well in the GLO-BUS competition,
said Dr. Rick Upchurch, director of the
EXCEL program. This validates the
quality of the EXCEL program at Hunt-
ington University in a way that was
evident to everyone. GLO-BUS integra-
tion of the various business functions into
a competitive simulation made the experi-
ence both challenging and enjoyable for
the students while providing a real assess-
ment of learning. We are extremely proud
of our students and their hard work in this
competition.
This is the first year that the university
has participated in the competition. For

One of downtown Fort
Waynes busiest streets
will be closed temporarily
next year, and businesses
and other organizations
working to revitalize the
area believe preparing for
the project can help mini-
mize any unfavorable
impact it might have on
those efforts.
Drivers already have
experienced road
construction along the
corridor, as crews work to
replace the Martin Luther
King bridge across the St.
Marys River immediately
north of the downtown
area. But unlike that
project, Indiana Depart-
ment of Transportation
plans to raise the bridge
over Spy Run Creek just
south of State Boulevard
will cause the complete
closure of Clinton Street,
forcing those headed
downtown to seek alter-
nate routes.
That is why the citys
Downtown Improvement
District and the Greater
Fort Wayne Chamber of
Commerce held an infor-
mational meeting on the
project in May.
It was well attended
mostly by business leaders
and residents who felt like
they were going to be
directly impacted, said
Katy Stafford, director of
government affairs for the
chamber.
Some of the individuals
at the meeting were
concerned that increased
congestion created by the
project could cost the
downtown area some busi-
ness.
Its not necessarily a
concern we share but its a
concern were aware of,
Stafford said. Were
working closely with the
Downtown Improvement
District and INDOT to
make it as seamless a
project transition as
possible.
The chamber and DID
plan to post on their
websites regular updates
outlining the timetable for
the Clinton Street
construction and Spy Run
Creek bridge replacement,
as well as maps showing
alternative routes to take
to the downtown area
while the street is closed.
The maps will be
another resource for
people to tap into to speed
their drive along and to
make it as convenient as
possible for them to get
downtown, Stafford said.
Its a wonderful down-
town and we would hate
to see people not taking
advantage of the opportu-
nities we have going on
here.
Rich Davis, DID presi-
dent, said a study on the
impact of closing Clinton
Street found 22,500 vehi-
cles pass its intersection
with State Boulevard
every day, which makes
up 17 percent of the traffic
headed downtown on a
typical day.
The Northeast Indiana
Regional Coordinating
Council study estimated
half of that daily average
was work-related travel by
downtown employees. A
little more than 19,000
employees worked in 834
downtown businesses,
which saw $174 million in
sales last year.
The importance of the
street as an artery to the
downtown area made it
necessary for DID to warn
interested parties about
the plans to close it
temporarily, Davis said.
Based on information
DID received from
INDOT, he said, a news
release announcing the
informational meeting
about the Clinton Street
realignment and bridge
replacement project stated
the project would require
the street to close for six
months, starting April 1,
2012.
Originally, that period
was quoted to us when we
met with INDOT in
January at the regional
headquarters. Later, since
the project hadnt been let
yet, they felt it would be
wiser not to put a time
period to it, Davis said.
Clinton Street could
have been closed for a
much longer period had
the department worked on
two bridges simultane-
ously, but INDOT spread
out the projects at the
request of businesses and
community groups, he
said.
Work on the Martin
Luther King bridge across
the St. Marys River was
done in sections to keep it
open during construction.
Bob Alderman, deputy
commissioner for
INDOTs Fort Wayne
district, said that is not
possible with work on the
bridge over Spy Run
Creek because the project
involves raising the struc-
ture at least six feet,
which requires the
construction of gradually
rising approaches to the
bridge.
The bridge is low
enough now to restrict the
flow of water when the
creek reaches high levels,
which contributes to
flooding in the neighbor-
hood, he said. The project
also calls for the correc-
tion of a nearby curve that
is too sharp, where a
number of sideswiping
accidents have taken
place.
Once the project is
completed, residents in
that part of town will see
less flooding and will see
a much safer roadway,
Alderman said.
I would point out to
my friends downtown that
we understand your
concern, but the reality is
theres nothing we do
that is painless, he said.
Were just trying to find
ways to get it done and
not hurt them any more
than we have to.
The Northeast Indiana
Regional Coordinating
Council impact study
concluded intersections
along alternative south-
bound routes to downtown
would provide an accept-
able traffic operation with
the existing traffic control,
lane configuration and
signal timings.
The official detour,
which would be used by
trucks, would run from
Coliseum Boulevard to
Washington Boulevard to
Clinton Street. Other
southbound traffic on
Clinton Street would turn
east or west at State
Boulevard then head south
on Wells Street or St.
Joseph Boulevard.
Davis said it will be
important for businesses
and other organizations
downtown to let
customers, suppliers and

Church members also
teach people to make
simple repairs, rather than
tossing the bicycle into
the trash. Many bike
shops lack the inclination
or parts to work on older
bicycles or those
purchased at discount
stores such as Wal-Mart
or Target - where many
bikes, especially for chil-
dren, are obtained.
Recipients of bicycles
have been men staying at
the Fort Wayne Rescue
Mission, as well as
victims of the storms that
swept through Tuscaloosa,

Free tutorials on basic
bicycle maintenance and
repair are also offered.
When the bike shop

by the reponse, receiving
almost fifty requests for
repairs and bicycles in
just one week.

At the end of the day, Fiechter said that
big changes in the community can happen
if people would just work on small
changes in their own neighborhoods to
create a helping environment.
If a tragedy happens, suddenly theres
no tax bracket, she said. None of those
shields that seem to divide us-none of
those things matter.
Fiechter said the program has taught
her that she cant say no to anybody. If
people are in need, she wants to help. The
Realtor plans to work with NeighborLink,
so no person who needs help has to be
turned down.

Hardbalk makes first
$50K payment to city
Hardball Capital has made the first of 19
$50,000 payments to the city of Fort Wayne
as a show of support for the Harrison Square
development and particularly the long-
delayed, $17.5 million multiuse project
known as the Harrison.
Hardball noted it made the payment at the
request of Mayor Tom Henry and in the
absence of a finalized agreement spelling out
the terms of the payments.
Mayor Tom Henry asked us to make our
payment of $50,000 to the redevelopment
commission as a demonstration of our
continued faith in and support of the Harrison
Square development, Jason Freier, CEO of
Hardball Capitol, said in a statement.
Although the payment was not yet due
under the terms of any agreement we have
provided the payment in advance as a show
of good faith and appreciation for the partner-
ship with the city.
In June, Henry announced that Hardball,
the city and a new development group called
New Harrison LLC had agreed to work
together to develop a four-story
retail/office/residential building along West
Jefferson Boulevard abutting Parkview Field.
New Harrison includes the former sole
developer, Atlanta-based Barry Real Estate,
and local investors the Hagerman Group and
Whitley Manufacturing Co.
Hardball Capital, meanwhile, owns the
Fort Wayne TinCaps and has served as a sort
of guarantor for the Harrison project. In addi-
tion to the $50,000 payments, Hardball has
pledged in a memorandum of understanding
to invest $1 million over the next 10 years in
capital improvements to Parkview Field.

Dont Let Low Rates Sink Your
Retirement Plans
Over the past few years, if
youve taken out a mortgage
or another consumer loan,
youve probably welcomed the
low interest rates you may
have received. But as an
investor, if youve kept any
retirement savings in fixed-rate
investment vehicles, you may
have seen low rates in a less
favorable light. And thats why
it may be time for you take a
closer look at your financial
strategy for working toward
the retirement lifestyle youve
envisioned.
Of course, you can always
hope that interest rates will
rise, and perhaps they will. As
you may know, the Federal
Reserve has kept interest rates
at record lows in recent years
to stimulate lending and
thereby boost the economy.
But rates cant get much lower,
and if inflation were to heat
up, the Fed could reverse
course by starting to raise
rates.
However, if youre going to
do a good job of building
financial assets for retirement,
you really cant afford to play
wait-and-see with interest
rates. Instead, consider the
following moves:
Rebalance your portfolio.
No matter what your situation,
its a good idea to periodically
rebalance your investment
portfolio to help ensure it still
reflects your risk tolerance,
time horizon and long-term
goals. If youre concerned
about low rates harming your
future investment income, you
have more reason than ever to
review your portfolio and
make adjustments as needed,
relative to your objectives. For
example, if it seems that your
portfolio has become over-
weighted in any one vehicle,
you may need to change your
investment mix, keeping in
mind your individual risk
tolerance.
Redefine retirement.
Retiring from one career
doesnt have to mean retiring
from work altogether. If you
decide to work part time, do
some consulting or even open
your own small business, you
may be able to earn enough
income to take some of the
pressure off your investment
portfolio in terms of providing
you with the money you need
to live on during retirement.
Also, by working during your
nominal retirement years, you
may be able to delay taking
Social Security until youre a
little older, when your monthly
checks can be larger.
Review your withdrawal
strategy. During your retire-
ment, the amount you choose
to withdraw from your
investments each year will
depend on several factors,
including the size of your
portfolio and the amount of
income it is providing. As you
chart your retirement strategy,
youll need to factor in a
realistic withdrawal rate.
Re-examine sources of
investment income. You may
want part of your retirement
income to come from invest-
ments that offer protection of
principal. If so, you dont have
to settle for the lowest-rate
vehicles. By looking at the
various alternatives and
blending them with your
overall portfolio, you may be
able to boost your income
without significantly increas-
ing your investment risk.
In short, just because interest
rates are low, you dont have to
lower your retirement expecta-
tions as long as you plan
ahead and explore your
options.

Straight No Chaser to hit
the Hoosier state
After touring the UK,
Straight No Chaser will
stop at the Allen County
War Memorial Coliseum
for a special performance
Oct. 30 during its U.S.
tour. Tickets to the
performance went on sale
July 8.
Many Hoosiers know
the groups story. Ten
guys who liked to sing
came together during the
fall of 1996 to start an a
cappella group while
students at Bloomingtons
Indiana University. Fifteen
years later, SNC now
performs in shows around
the world, reinventing a
cappella on a modern pop
landscape.
Tickets are available at
the Memorial Coliseum
ticket office, all Ticket-
master outlets, online at
www.ticketmaster.com or
charge-by-phone at 800-
745-3000. Tickets range in
price from $34-$39. A
limited number of exclu-
sive VIP ticket packages
will also be available,
including a pre-show
dinner and a private group
performance, which will
include two songs that are
not part of the show.
The groups third album
offering, WITH A
TWIST, is said to show a
different side of SNC.
Its definitely my favorite
collection of songs weve
recorded so far, said Dan
Ponce, who organized the
group at IU.

Chaser news and informa-

Changes at UHA bring new board
members and new acting executive
The executive director of United Hispanic-Americans,
Inc., (UHA), Rosa Gerra, has announced her retirement.
Gerra and her family helped found the organization more
than 40 years ago. She was the executive director for 16
years, during which time she addressed the needs of the
Hispanic/Latino population, according to new board Presi-
dent Larry Graham.
Under Rosas leadership, UHA has taken a leadership
role in addressing the needs of the ever growing
Hispanic/Latino population in Northeast Indiana, Graham
said. A strategic planning process is already underway to
identify the current and future needs of the Hispanic/Latino
community and also to determine how UHA can best meet
those needs.
G. Herb Hernandez, former board president of the group,
was appointed acting executive director of the organization.
Officer elections were also held at the organizations last
board meeting. Graham was elected president, William H.
Klemme as vice president and Patricia Oppor was elected
secretary/treasurer.

Half a million pounds of
food collected during drive
The Fort Wayne area collected
more food than any other Indiana
community during the May 14 Stamp
Out Hunger Letter Carriers Food
Drive, according to a press release
from the United Way of Allen
County.
Area residents contributed 534,373
pounds of food during this years
drive. The Fort Wayne collection
even surpassed the collection in Indi-
anapolis.
Im so proud of our letter carriers,
our volunteers and all the local resi-
dents who helped us provide food
that is needed by so many of our
neighbors, Milton Gray, local chair
of the Stamp Out Hunger Letter
Carriers Food drive, said in a state-
ment.
The drive was important because of
the poverty level being currently
experienced in the area.
New census data shows that 14.6
percent of Allen County residents live in
poverty - thats higher than the state and
the nation, CEO of United Way of Allen
County Todd Stephenson said.
The Stamp Out Hunger Letter Carriers
Food Drive collected 70.2 million pounds
of food nationally this year.
Area citizens contributed more than 500,000
pounds of food during the drive, which took
place in May.

out that the herb was
closer than she thought; it
was found on her in-laws

In the end, although she
started her research
because of a health issue,
Troyer wants others to
realize the reality of some
storebought soaps.
I think people dont
realize that the soaps in
the store arent actually
soap, its a synthetic
detergent.

employees know in advance when
Clinton Street will be closed and which
streets might work well as alternative
routes to the center of the city.
The other part of this is making sure
that signage at key locations directs
motorists to their alternative routes, he
said.
Allowing half an hour of flex time in
employees schedules could enable them
to travel to and from work a little before
or after traffic in and out of the downtown
area has peaked, Davis said. Special
promotions also could be used to help
bring business downtown during the
construction period, he said.
There are some experiences you can
have downtown that you cant have
anywhere else, he said. We believe
well make those experiences as attractive
as possible, and regardless of the addi-
tional time it would take to get
downtown, the quality of the experience
will be first-rate.

Ivy Techs new degree
programs aim to meet
industry needs
Ivy Tech Community
College-Northeast will in
August offer five new
degree tracks it felt would
satisfy a local need for
industry-trained and
educated workers.
Throughout northeast
Indiana, Ivy Tech will
now offer degrees in engi-
neering technology,
heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC),
health information tech-
nology, information
systems security and pre-
engineering.
John Knight, Ivy Techs
program chair of informa-
tion systems security, said
his new program
addresses an immediate
need in the information
security and digital foren-
sics industries.
The U.S. Air Force is
establishing a professional
force of cyber operators
and developing cyber
career paths for officers,
enlisting both personnel
and civilians, Knight said
in the release. The new
Air Force Cyber
Command and the Air
National Guard are among
the focal points of the
plan and as many as
40,000 cyber-warfare
specialists will be trained
for cyber operations.
James Brunson,
program chair for HVAC,
said his program will
emphasize learning
through lab training and
hands-on projects.
Most of the HVAC
courses involve a lab
component in each class
activity, Brunson said in
the release. Students are
exposed to new technolo-
gies like geothermal,
digitalized applications,
wireless controls and
computer simulations, as
well as a thorough
grounding in existing
technologies to service
current equipment that
will last for many years
into the future.
To read information
about the new degree
programs and northeast
Indiana job market indica-
tors, go online to
www.ivytech.edu or call

Tee off for Allen County 4-H
A day spent outdoors playing a game

to benefit the Allen County 4-H Youth
Program.

get the golf game started at 8:30 a.m.

sorships for the golf outing, including

ages and providing door prizes.

Covington Plaza
hosts Guys
Night Out
Stores in Covington Plaza will offer specials, food
and beverages during the Guys Night Out &
Classic Cruise-In. The event will take place on
Tuesday, July 26, from 6-8 p.m. Activities include
viewing classic cars, playing washers and shopping
for discounts.
The Olive Twist will offer 10 percent off select
olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Cap n Cork will
have a special for 10 percent off select bourbon and
craft beer.
Other retailers in the plaza, such as Merle
Norman, Catablu, Monogram Shoppe and Andrew
Davis will also offer discounts and specials for
attendees.
Students in Fort Wayne Commu-
nity Schools showed improvement in
their ISTEP+ scores at rates that
exceeded the states in every subject
area and every grade but one last
spring.
Despite the faster pace of
improvement since 2010, however,
FWCS scores for the spring 2011
tests still were below state averages
in every category.
FWCS released the districtwide
scores at a news conference July 12.
School-by-school scores were not
released.
We know this was a challenging
year for our students, staff and
parents, Superintendent Wendy
Robinson said in a prepared state-
ment. We are not where we want to
be yet, but this continues the positive
trend we have seen in the past few
years.
At the third-grade level, for
example, 79 percent of FWCS
students passed the language-arts
exam compared to 83 percent
statewide; and 71 percent passed the
math compared with 78 percent
statewide. At the eighth-grade level,
59 percent of FWCS students passed
language arts and 71 passed math
compared with a 72 percent pass rate
in language arts and a 77 percent
pass rate in math statewide.
The percentage of students passing
both the math and language-arts
FWCS still lags state on ISTEP+ passing rates
See FWCS, page B6
The Wells Street
corridor just north of
downtown Fort Wayne is
lined with businesses that
have long dealt with the
six-phase Ewing Street
storm sewer project.
Construction has made it
tricky to access Wells
Street since January, when
crews began installing
2,100 feet of reinforced
concrete pipe on Ewing
from Superior to Wayne
streets. Road work on
Fourth Street has also
made a common cut-
through from Clinton
Street to Wells Street
unavailable to motorists
who normally travel the
route on lunch breaks.
Restaurant manager
Amanda Posey stood
behind the counter of an
empty Subway during a
recent lunch hour. It was a
departure from the lunch
rush Posey remembers at
the Goshen Road store she
managed for eight years.
Im not trying to brag
or anything, but we were
No. 1 for customer
service, so were not
runnin (customers) away,
Posey said of low foot
traffic at the Wells Street
location.
The new store opened
two months ago. Despite a
Now Open sign, a
costumed employee
passing out samples and
coupon campaigns,
attracting business has
been slow going. While
Posey admits being a new
location and a struggling
economy are contributing
factors, road construction
has not helped.
Regular customers at
Klemms Kafe have
limited their lunch hours
at the restaurant to once a
week, said manager Sonia
Harter. With only a 30-
minute lunch break, many
customers told her road
construction makes it
impossible to travel to and
from the restaurant with
enough time to eat. She
started to notice the lunch
crowd drop in April.
Youve got to keep in
mind this is only a 40-seat
restaurant, so $100 is a lot
of customers. We used to
be just slammed from 11
to 12:30, but now its just
sporadic, Harter said.
At the north side of the
corridor is furniture resale
shop SAll Good. Store
employee Susan Woods
compared 2010s April-
May sales with the same
time this year, estimating
they were down at least 50
percent.

Tech signs local standout to play Warrior volleyball
Darcie Faylor, a 2008
graduate of Carroll High
School, signed a letter of
intent to play volleyball
with the Indiana Tech
Warriors in the fall.
At Carroll, Faylor was a
two-time All-Conference
and All-Area team player,
as well as an All-North-
east Indiana team player
as an outside hitter.
After she graduated
high school, Faylor went
on to play for Kishwaukee
College. In her first
season, Faylor was the
starting libero for a team
that won the national
championship, earning
All-Regional, All-
National, and second team
All-American. In her
sophomore season, the
team finished in fifth
place in the nation, with
Faylor earning All-
Regional, All-National,
and first team All-Amer-
ican honors.
Darcie has an excellent
volleyball mind and is a
fantastic offensive and
defensive weapon. She
also comes from programs
that have been very
successful, said Warrior
head coach Kirsta
Solberg. She knows how
to compete and how to
win. Beyond that, Darcie
has a fire and desire for
volleyball that will match
anyone. You can find her
on the court or on a beach
court almost always and
that gym-rat mentality
will really take her far and
benefit the team greatly.
Faylor will study crim-
inal justice and
rehabilitative services at
Indiana Tech.

Garden tools, DIY approach saves time in the garden
Taking the DIY approach to lawn and
garden care has many advantages, such as
saving money and offering some fresh air
and exercise, but sometimes it can turn
into a timely endeavor. By the time you
round up tools and supplies, figure out a
plan of action and get working, you could
easily lose half of your day to lawn care.
By approaching lawn and garden care
smartly however, you can still have time
for many other activities with family and
friends. Here are five best practices from
the experts at Ames True Temper that are
sure to be time savers for you this year:
1. Get organized. Nothings more frus-
trating than not having a shovel or
watering can on hand when you need it
most. Reorganize your shed or garage on a
regular basis. It will help you keep track
of what you have and what you need. A
quick trip to your local garden center will
be more productive when armed with a
shopping list.
2. Make a plan. Draw a map or layout
of what youd like each of your garden
beds to look like. Label the plants that
youd like to use in particular areas; this
way youve got clear direction.
3. Use multipurpose, time-saving
garden tools. There are many steps when
it comes to outdoor projects, and the more
motions you can cut out, the better. The
Ames Planters Pal is a multipurpose
hand-held tool that offers seven functions
in one. Whether weeding, cutting twine,
opening a bag of mulch or digging a hole,
the Planters Pal has all of your needs
covered. Another time saver is the Ames
Water Genie, a lightweight innovative
watering can that connects to your spigot.
A retractable hose housed inside the
watering can design allows you to walk
around your yard and patio to water plants
with precision, without having to walk
back and forth for a water refill or to turn
the spigot on and off.
4. Take preventive steps. Edge your
gardens, and lay landscape fabric between
the mulch and ground to prevent weeds
from cropping up among your plants. This
will help save time otherwise spent
weeding.
Get the family involved. The more
helping hands you have, the easier it will
be to get the job done. Ames True Temper
makes a line of real Kids Garden tools so
its easy for everyone to help out.
Once youre equipped with the right
tools and know-how, youll be able to
create and maintain a beautiful lawn and
garden in no time. For more great tips,
visit www.ames.com.

Baby boom at Fort Wayne
Childrens Zoo
The ring-tailed lemur
troop at the Fort Wayne
Childrens Zoo experi-
enced a recent baby boom
with the addition of three
newborns.
Zoo lemurs Caera and
Seiodin bore three babies
twin boys for Caera
and a girl for Seiodin, the
zoo said in a release. With
the birth of Caeras boys,
Seiodin became a grand-
mother in the same
weekend, as she is Caeras
mother.
Within a few weeks, the
babies should begin to
explore their habitat
within the exhibit, the zoo
said. With 10 lemurs now
in the troop, the lemurs
have expanded into an
adjacent exhibit, offering
the chance for zoo visitors
a few places to look for
the newborns.
Just a few weeks after
the lemur baby boom, the
zoos first tawny frog-
mouth chick hatched.
Zookeepers found a tiny
white ball of fluff in a
nest in the Australian
Adventure Plaza.
Tawny frogmouths are
camouflaged birds with
mottled brown feathers
that often pose with their
beaks pointed to the sky,
making it nearly impos-
sible to see them in their
wooded habitat. The chick
weighed just 15 grams at
five days old and had not
yet opened its eyes, the
zoo said in the release.
There was a second egg in
the nest, but zookeepers
said because it was past
its due date, the egg may
never hatch.
To catch a glimpse of
the new zoo babies, the
Fort Wayne Childrens
Zoo is open daily through
Oct. 11 from 9 a.m.-5
p.m.
The tawny frogmouth chick weighed just 15 grams at five days old
and had not yet opened its eyes, zookeepers said.

Children and teens can
take to the sky for free on
Saturday, August 13, at the
Young Eagles Flight Rally
at Smith Field Airport, 426
W. Ludwig Rd.
The rally is part of the
Experimental Aircraft
Associations Young Eagles
Program, created to interest
young people in aviation.
Since the program was
launched in 1992, volun-
teer EAA pilots have flown
more than 1.6-million
young people in more than
90 countries.
Free airplane rides for
children ages 8-17 are just
part of the Flight Rally.
Following the flight, each
participant will receive a
certificate, making them an
official Young Eagle; a log
book to record their flight
and future flights; access
to Sportys Complete
Flight Training Course for
free; EAA student
membership until age 19;
Academy of Model Aero-
nautics student
membership; and many
other benefits. Their name
will then be entered into
the Worlds Largest
Logbook, which is on
permanent display at the
EAA Air Adventure
Museum in Oshkosh, Wis.
The Logbook can be found
online at www.youngea-
gles.org.
Along with flight rallies,
EAA members also fly
Young Eagles on an
individual basis. Each
pilot volunteers their time
and aircraft so the
flights can be provided
free of charge.
Those attending the
flight rally are asked come
to the main hanger at 9
a.m. to register for their
flight. Registration closes
around 11 a.m.
Another flight rally is

Boys & Girls Clubs aim
to make reading fun
The Boys & Girls Clubs
of Fort Wayne will host a
kickoff party at 1 p.m. July
20 for its new Reading
for Fun Initiative.
The event will take
place at the Fairfield Club,
which is located at 2609
Fairfield Ave. in Fort
Wayne. The program will
emphasize reading books
for fun, to encourage chil-
dren to develop a love of
reading, a press release
said.
While the organization
has a large volume of
books, they were begin-
ning to become outdated.
To remedy this, the
Boys & Girls Clubs
purchased current, popular
childrens books and
acquired magazine
subscriptions.
For more information
about the event, call 260-
744-0998.
Teens invited to ACT for Animals
Area teens interested in
learning about animal-
related careers are invited to
attend an enrollment meeting
to participate in a program
with Animal Care and
Control.
The organization will
introduce teens to its Animal
Care Teens program at the
meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 30
from 6-7 p.m. Students ages
13 to 17 are invited to attend
along with parents to learn
about program activities.
The Animal Care and
Control shelter is located at
3020 Hillegas Road.
For more information, call
260-427-2590.
The great American
family vacation: Its
bound to be chock-full of
fun and memorable
moments, but for young
travelers, the getting
there part can be
grueling. Little ones cant
really grasp the concept of
time, and in their uncer-
tainty, theyre sure to fire
off that age-old question:
Are we there yet?
Help kids understand
the time involved in your
journey with these fun
travel tips:
Create a travel timeline.
Hang a piece of string
across the inside of your
car and use clothespins
to clip the names of
major landmarks or
cities along the way.
This will help kids visu-
alize exactly where you
are.
Teach kids to read a
map. Use Google Maps
or Mapquest to print
driving directions for
each child. They can
follow along as you
make your way to your
destination.
Play the 100s game. If
youre on a fairly long
road trip, tell your kids
how many hundreds of
miles you plan to travel.
If youre going 500
miles, for example, give
each child a small treat
or prize every time you
reach the next 100-mile
landmark. (Going on a
shorter trip? Offer prizes
or treats at the 50-mile
markers instead.)

If youve ever traveled


with young children, you
know that entertaining car
activities are a must. One
tip is to pack a cookie
sheet for each of your
kids.
It may seem odd, but an
old cookie sheet can come
in quite handy on a long
road trip. Use it as:
A food or snack tray
(no more French fries
on the floor!).
An activity tray (keep
coloring books and
crayons in one place).
A handy surface for
alphabet magnets,
magnetic paper dolls,
etc.
If you really want to get
creative, you can paint
one side of the cookie
sheet with chalkboard
paint. Kids will have
hours of fun playing tic-
tac-toe, hangman and
other fun games!

Its time to talk tunes.


If youre planning any
sort of road trip, youll
want to make sure youve
got plenty of great sing-
along tunes at your
fingertips.
Heres our most impor-
tant tip: Dont wait until
the night before your trip
to create a road-worthy
playlist. By then, youll
probably be busy packing
and scrambling around in
an attempt to tackle those
last-minute to-dos.
Instead, sit down a few
weeks before your trip to
gather up a collection of
your favorite tunes.
Musical tastes can
certainly vary from one
car to the next, but there
are plenty of great songs
to choose from. Need a
little inspiration? Check

10 All Time Greatest

Caf Fraiche, one of
downtowns newest coffee
shops, is located in the big
yellow building on the
corner of Lafayette St. and
Washington Blvd. The
building once housed a
Holiday Inn, but now it is
Lamplight Inn, a 170-unit
senior, independent and
assisted living residence.
Walk through the front
doors of the building,
make a left and then you
will be standing in the
eatery, which serves sand-
wiches, salads, bagels and
coffee.
Manager Jill Moy said
the idea for the local caf
was inspired by another
Lamplight community.
At one of our other
facilities, in Richmond,
they have a caf in their
community, she said.
Its really great for the
residents because it brings
in outside people. The
residents really like to be
involved with the commu-
nity.
Moy also has plans to
use local produce at the
location.
We have a local roaster
for coffee, she said. Ive
been waiting to hear that
the farmers market [Barr
Street] has opened.
Caf Fraiche has
another unique feature
that sets it apart from
traditional shops: a dry-
erase countertop. Visitors
can write messages on it
when they stop in.
Even though the busi-
ness is located within the
Lamplight Inn, Moy said
that it is open to everyone
in the community.

Recently, Frontier Communications announced that FiOS TV was uneconomical.They have taken a series of steps to discourage new
customers from signing up for FiOS TV, and encourage existing customers who have FiOS to switch to other services like satellite TV.
Fortunately, theres a far better option. With XFINITY from Comcast you get access to over 60,000 On Demand TV shows and movies,
on TV and online. You cant get that with satellite. Youll also get access to the fastest Internet to more homes than anyone, plus smarter
home phone service for less.
Get home entertainment thats here to stay with XFINITY.
Switch to XFINITY


and get the best entertainment for the best price.
Frontier agrees.
FiOS TV is the wrong choice.
