Student works to save summer camp
Kim Smith believes that nature
can be a healing place for children.
Nature can heal children; theres
a quietness that can be healing, she
said.
The positive impact of being
outdoors really hits home for the
Smith family and their 11-year-old
daughter, Mariah, who really
seemed to bond with nature at a
young age, her mother said.
Mariah Smith has attended the
Allen County Parks Summer Day
Camps for six weeks every summer
since she was 5 years old. She was
surprised when the county parks
decided to cut back on the summer
camps this year, due to a limited
budget.
The summer camps are held at
Fox Island and Metea Park. Camp
attendees learn how to build
appropriate lodging, have the
opportunity to go canoeing and
learn about being a naturalist. This
naturalist training involves learning
what plants are safe to consume and
much more.
Its just all natural out there,
learning about nature, out in the
water, Kim Smith said.
The reduced camp season inspired
her daughter to write an editorial,
which was quickly picked up by a
local landscaper, Mo Palmer. Palmer
owns Cultured Gardens, a land-
scaping company and also contacted
other landscaping companies and
asked if they could help.
She was impressed with
Mariahs editorial, Kim Smith said.
They started to raise money. I
thought it was great that an adult
heard the pleas of an 11-year-old
girl trying to get more kids out into
nature.
She said the day camps really
seem to have a lasting benefit.
It brings a lot of children out of
the city and into nature. We should
really be promoting more of that,
not less, Smith said.
So far, the fellow landscapers
have raised enough money to fund
an extra week of camp. More than
$1,000 has been raised in response
to her editorial. The additional week
of camp will be called Mariahs
Community Nature Camp.
The camps are for children ages
6-12, and are held Monday-Friday
from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The
local landscapers, as well as other
business professionals, are working
to secure funding for an additional
week of camp. The camp costs $100
per child, per week.
To donate funds, contact the Allen
County Parks Department, which
can be reached online at www.allen
countyparks.org, or by phone at
449-3312.

New frozen yogurt shop in Maysville Pointe offers unique options
When Yum Yums Yogurt-U-Make
opens up this month in the East Allen
area, owner Angie Kurek says its going
to change the way people view the
frozen treat.
Yogurt has always been around, but it
has changed, she said. As weve
witnessed the changes for the last couple
of years, its been really interesting and
intriguing. It doesnt take a summer
month or a warm month to be appealing
to the average customer. This is a way
that a customer can go in and do what
they want. Its all self-serve and they
have control. Its all in the hands of the
customer.
Yum Yums, owned by Kurek, her
husband, Brian Kurek, her mother, Jo
Acker, and George Hill, will have five
self-serve, frozen yogurt machines. With
the middle option, which allows for a
twisting of the flavors, this means that
KPC Media Group
Inc., which publishes
East Allen County

The new FWDai-
lyNews.com showcases
content submitted by
readers and features
news from the East Allen
area and KPCs three

Breaking news stories
can be found at the top
of the page, which also
contains a News from
You section that allows
readers to send stories,
photos and videos that
can be shared on the site.
The redesigned site
lets readers submit infor-
mation on important
milestones, including
births, engagements and
weddings. An arts and
entertainment section
highlights local happen-
ings, and an interactive
calendar contains event
information thats
featured online and in
the monthly Times

A sports section
provides coverage of
youth and school teams.
Local bloggers share
their views on movies
and lifestyle issues. And

Rob Palevich, a Do it
Best Corp. retiree,
recently published a book
entitled, The Lean
Sustainable Supply
Chain.
He is an IPFW educator
who took many years of
experience and used them
to write a book designed to
help others run lean and
green operations.
I had no intention of
writing a book until I won
an international
competition last July at
Kent State University and
was encouraged to write a
book on the topic of
creating a green supply
chain, Palevich said, in
the press statement.
From there, it took
more than a year and a
half to pull it all together.
According to the state-
ment, lean, green supply
chain management
combines the efficiency
that lean technologies
deliver with the
environmental and cost
benefits of sustainability.
The book offers start-to-
finish guidance for
redesigning company
infrastructure and
technologies to achieve
numerous lean and green
benefits.
Palevich also introduces
the key concepts of lean
green supply chain
management, while adding
comprehensive case
studies that give examples.
Palevich explained that
the book could be useful
for any CEO or manager.
The book is targeted
for any CEO or manager
who wants to make their
company world class in
both lean and green meas-
ures, he said.
The book also has a
clear purpose in the
classes he teaches at
IPFW.
The book really ties
into my Lean Black Belt
class where the students
perform projects for the
State of Indiana, most of
the hospitals and many
area manufacturers. In
fact, I hope to write
another book on how to
apply Lean Six Sigma in
the hospital and medical
industry.
But it was the experi-
ence he learned while
working at Do it Best
Corp. that made a differ-
ence.
The experience I gained
in supply chain manage-
ment at Do it Best Corp.
along with with the
academic training over the
last nine years has
really helped me to be able
to write this book, Pale-
vich said.

Licensed child care in
Allen County is hard to
find, according to the
Early Childhood Alliance.
If you are a parent who
has been searching for a
licensed child care option
in the city and youve
found that most of the
homes or centers are full
to capacity, you are
certainly not alone.
What were finding is
that in Allen County, we
arent able to accommo-
date the need for all
parents that are calling us
to request licensed care.
When we see areas of
growth, we see an
increase in the number of
families that are calling
us, but were not always
able to provide them with
a lot of options, Pam
Leffers, Early Childhood
Alliances program
director said.
She said high-growth
areas have been impacted,
but the organization has a
remedy that will hope-
fully fix the shortages in
licensed care.
We would like to be
able to provide more
options to families that
call us, Leffers said.
The remedy includes
offering learning opportu-
nities for business owners
and those interested in
opening child care facili-
ties. Early Childhood
Alliance will offer
sessions in many areas of
town this spring, for facil-
ities and homes that are
looking to become
licensed. These orienta-
tion sessions are
conducted monthly, free
of charge, although pre-
registration is required.
In addition, the organi-
zation will also offer a
second orientation
session, which consists of
a two-hour meeting that
covers health, L icensed
child care in Allen County
is hard to find, according
to the Early Childhood
Alliance. If you are a
parent who has been
searching for a licensed
child care option in the
city and youve found that
most of the homes or
centers are full to
capacity, you are certainly
not alone.
A few of the topics
covered in the workshop
will include defining
appropriate group size
and number of adults per
children and other
requirements necessary
for licensing, which
includes having a staff
trained in first aid and
CPR and having a staff
that is trained in child
development.
Licensed care has the
requirements that support
basic health and safety,

Allen County Voter Registration sent a certificate to
East Allen County Schools earlier this month, with the
final results of the petition drive for the Woodlan K-12
redesign project.
The number of signatures obtained in the petition drive
will allow the school district to move forward with their
construction and redesign plans for the school.
The plans will make Woodlan Junior/Senior High
School into a school that will include students from
kindergarten through grade 12. The school currently
houses students in grades 7 through 12.
EACS recently kicked off its second petition drive
this time for the Heritage Junior/Senior High School
redesign project. This petition drive started in early
March and is set to officially end on April 3 in the late
afternoon.
The Heritage redesign project will make the school into
a building that will house students in grades K-12, similar
to the Woodlan redesign project. Currently, the school has
students in grades 7 through 12. Both projects are part of
a comprehensive redesign plan that was approved by East
Allen County Schools in 2010.
For updated information on the Heritage petition drive,
visit www.FWDailyNews.com or check out the EACS
website at www.eacs.k12.in.us.

Leffers said, She said
Early Childhood Alliance
also educates parents who
call in for referrals about
what they should be
looking for in a care
center for their children.
We talk to parents
about what they should be
looking for, she said.
As an agency, we
know that the early child-
hood years are times of
rapid brain growth.
Leffers said that it is
important for a young
childs development that
the care environment is
safe, healthy and that the
people are nurturing.
We know that not
everyone will choose to
pick a licensed program
and thats fine. We
explain what the options
are in Indiana.
The difference between
licensed and unlicensed
child care varies. Indiana
requires that most types
of child care programs
obtain a state license, but
there are exceptions.
Child care ministries
and home child care
programs that care for no
more than five unrelated
children are not included.
Were unique in
Indiana, Leffers said.
There are church
programs that can be
really great and volun-
tarily meet requirements.
But in the East Allen
readership area, the short-
ages in licensed care
could impact the options
of many parents.
In the 46774 ZIP code,
there is 1 licensed home,
1 licensed center and 1
unlicensed, registered
ministry. There is 1
licensed home in 46773
and no licensed homes,
centers or unlicensed
registered ministries in
the 46741 ZIP code.
Leffers said offering the
orientation sessions and
workshops can help
create more options for
families.
For us, we want to
build capacity so that
when people call us, we
have something for
them, she said. Beyond
basic workshops and
orientations, Early Child-
hood Alliance also offers
a distinction between
licensed care centers and
homes, with the Paths to
Quality program. The
program started in Allen
County specifically and
now it is state-wide.
We have over 200
child care programs in
our area that are partici-
pating, Leffers said. She
said Paths to Quality
designees indicate centers
and homes that have gone
above and beyond for
standards.
The alliance also makes
child care referrals to
parents who are seeking
care. Parents can call 260-
744-0298 or visit
www.ecalliance.org and
click on a child care
search button.

Heritage junior writes
book set in Australia
Emma Frederick, a
junior at Heritage Jr./Sr.
High, recently had her
first book published.
The title of her book is
Rediscovery. The
setting of the book is
deep in the heart of
Tasmania, Australia. An
American born girl, Riley
Obrien, stumbles upon a
helpless animal that was
once thought to be
extinct: the rare and beau-
tiful Thylacine. She takes
in the orphan despite the
consequences of raising a
wild animal. Later, as an
adult, Riley continues her
work protecting the
Thylacine from further
destruction from man, a
press statement said.
The book features
obstacles such as love,
war and worry.
This is a story of
survival, love, hope,
determination and
patriotism and how just
one girl can save and
protect an entire species
forever, the statement
said.
The book, Redis-
covery, is now listed in
DESTINY, the schools
library catalog.

The most important
benefit that yoga has
brought to my life, as well
as many others around
me, is awareness. Aware-
ness can have an effect on
every aspect of your life
and indirectly help you
make huge strides in your
goals. When practicing
yoga, its not just about
the awareness it brings to
your body with how flex-
ible or inflexible you are,
but rather what is actually
going on inside, both
mentally and physically.
We have to realize that the
food we eat, our lack of
exercise, and the stress we
have directly affects how
the body functions.
Promoting decision
making
We are surrounded by a
society that promotes
unconscious decisions on
a daily basis. The norm of
health in our society has
been filled with medica-
tions masking a problem,
rather than understanding
what is wrong. Without
going too far on a rant,
my point is that yoga is a
great way to come to
understand your body and
mind. By observing how
your body responds, in
some cases you may be
able to prevent taking
medication and improve
your health naturally. This
awareness helps us to
make informed decisions
about our health. Although
this is not an easy task, it
is great for longevity.
Connecting mind and
body
When starting to prac-
tice yoga, most people
come for the physical
aspect of it. It helps them
get exercise, stretch out
after a stressful day or
week, or even to help
them breathe. Although
these alone are great bene-
fits, soon after finding a
teacher they connect with,
yoga becomes so much
more. Often times, yoga
students talk about the
first ah-ha moment they
had on the mat. This new
found clarity within
knowledge helps us under-
stand what helps our body
and mind and what
hinders it. It helps us to
live the way we preach. It
allows us to take a step
back, slow down, and be
grateful. It allows us to
connect with what is
important, no matter what
belief system you have.
When we dive deeper than
the want to have a toned
body, the fluctuations that
often prevent us disappear.
Realize your unlimited
potential
A popular text in yoga
is the Yoga Sutras. In the
first chapter, the second
verse is translated to
Yoga is the stilling of the
fluctuations in the heart-
mind. It is the
fluctuations, or the criti-
cizing, worrying part of
the mind that put us in our
boxes or categories. We
need to realize our unlim-
ited potential, find
appreciation, and allow
joy to be attainable in this
life. Awareness is devel-
oped in practicing yoga
and is often taken into

Yoga can bring awareness to everyday life

they will be able to offer
10 options.
But increasing their
product line and offering
their customers different
options is important as
well.
Within the next three
to six months, we will be
adding an additional
machine, Kurek said.
The business will also
offer a wide variety of
topping choices and will
likely have the capacity
to provide 50 choices,
which includes seasonal
fruit, candy, chocolate,
granola and other
specialty items.
While frozen yogurt is
dubbed as healthier than
ice cream, Kurek says the
topping choices will
allow customers to make
their own choices.
The customer can
make what they want to
make of it. They can
come in and make a
healthy treat, or they can
load it with candies.
She said customers can
really benefit from
having different options.
Customers just really
like the idea. They
absolutely like the idea
that there is a substitute
that they have control
over. Its a very
wonderful concept and a
wonderful product.
Kurek says Yum Yums
will circulate the flavors
and provide something
that fits all dietary
restrictions, including no-
fat, low-fat and no sugar
options.
The shop will also have
a 100 percent fruit slush
bar, which is a unique
addition to the Fort
Wayne area.
Theyre very popular
with many age groups,
she said. We wanted to
bring in a specialty item
that could serve the
purpose of providing
something healthy.
Another unique addi-
tion to the product line
served up at Yum Yums
includes yogurt for dogs.
Weve extended our
products out to our doggy
friends. We have organic
flavors. We have natural
flavors and we will
provide nutritional infor-
mation on that product.
The frozen yogurt for
dogs is called Yoghund
and also contains live,
probiotic cultures.
We will be the first
yogurt shop to carry the
product in Fort Wayne,
Kurek said.
Providing nutritional
information is another
emphasis the business
prides itself on.
Were just really
excited, she said.
Everything we started
from scratch; family-
operated and were really
excited about that.
Yum Yums will also
offer catering, for special
events like graduations
and birthday parties.
Catering even includes
the rental of a frozen
yogurt machine.
A small coffee bar will
also be provided for
customers at the shop,
which will include a
single-cup, self-serve
stand.
Everything that we do
will be self-serve. If a
family of five comes in
and one doesnt even
want yogurt, they can fill
up a cup with toppings.
Theres just something
for everyone, she said.
As owners, the
Maysville Road area was
chosen because of its
accessibility for
customers.
We love the area. I
became familiar with the
area before the actual
boom, when it was first
starting. We decided we
wanted to be part of that
growth and be in the
middle of that area. Its
pretty much a one stop
shop area. Thats what we
loved about the area, she
said.
