RiverFest 2011 adds boat show,
returns favorites
There is no shortage of
festivals to choose from in
the Fort Wayne area once
warmer weather arrives.
Families celebrate their
heritage at festivals dedi-
cated to the Greek, Spanish,
Irish and German cultures,
among others. For one
festival, however, the culture
celebrated is one that
reflects the entire city and
celebrates its most promi-
nent natural resource - its
rivers.
RiverFest 2011 is

‘Harmonious Pursuit’
By VALERIE CAVIGLIA

When the doors to
Covington Commons
opened, the sound of a
familiar American folk
song pulsated through the
air. It became louder
toward the commons area,
where a woman sat atop
the piano bench, dressed
in a skirt suit and ruffle-
collared blouse, playing
“She’ll be Coming
‘Round the Mountain.”
She played to a crowd
of fellow residents, clearly
enjoying the music. Yet,
there were no young visi-
tors in sight.
Often, children will not
visit assisted living
communities like
Covington Commons
unless parents bring them
to visit a grandparent.
This idea is not lost on a
group of local high school
students, who just the
weekend before,

tour various senior residential communities this summer.

Even though she is a young woman, Epstein is no
stranger to the aging process. When her family immi-
grated to the U.S., some of the older family members
didn’t make it through the journey. She was raised to
appreciate her elders and care for them.
“I have kind of a soft spot for the elderly community,
especially with my grandma, being fortunate that she
lives in my house,” Esptein said.
Wanting to give members of the senior community
something to look forward to, her mother, Marina,
helped by making calls. The activity director at
Covington Commons, Ann Marie Sordelet, worked with
Epstein to coordinate performances at the community.
“I was very impressed that these high school students
wanted to volunteer to perform for our residents, and
then was totally amazed at their wonderful talent,”
Sordelet said. “There have been other high school kids
that have volunteered their time here, but it usually is just
visiting or playing games with our residents.”
There is a great need for other kids to volunteer,
Sordelet said. If they can play an instrument, that is an
added bonus for residents.
“Music is something that everyone can connect to and
when we bring music to people who might not have such
young entertainment come in every day - although we
might come in once a month - it’s like a breath of fresh
air to them that some young voices and some young
people are really trying to give and perform something
lively to them,” Epstein said.
The musicians are all three very experienced in their
chosen mediums. Epstein has played piano since she was
a little girl and became more serious about it as she got
older. She teaches piano to younger Canterbury School

students in her spare time. For Park, piano is her future.
She plans to double major in the instrument in college.
Recently, Park won the Michael Ben and Ilene Komis-
arow Maurer Young Musicians Contest 2011. In March,
she performed as a soloist with the Fort Wayne Philhar-
monic Youth Symphony.

AND PLASTIC PAYS YOU.

After performing together at Covington Commons a
few times, Epstein and Park began to feel some connec-
tion to the audience. “We connected with one lady who
was so involved in our performances,” Epstein said. “We
always look for her when we come here for perform-
ances. She was singing and clapping because we brought
the Beatles in. It was really cool to get some feedback.”
She said when vocalist Muha joined in, it energized
the performance. “When Emily sang, you could see a lot
of people close their eyes and sway to the music,”
Epstein said.
“It was nice to know that you made their day better
I N T R O D U C I N G and they appreciate what you do,” Muha said. According
to the vocalist, she has been singing as early on as
forming her first sentences. With grandparents who
recently moved to the area, she too felt it important to
share time with members of the senior community.
“Music is such a universal way to connect with people
because it’s been there throughout the centuries,” she
said. “Even if you are singing a Broadway number from
a musical from the 70s that they might not have heard
before, they can still connect with the words and you
have that connection between them. That brings people
together.”

Lutheran childbirth suites deliver more than newborns

“House of grace.” It is the Greek
meaning of Charis House, a
nonprofit organization in Fort
Wayne. Inside the home, the lives of
homeless women and their children
take a turn for the better with the
help of volunteers providing food,
shelter, safety, education and recu-
peration.
Associates from Lutheran
Hospital’s Childbirth Suites recently
delivered more than 1,200 non-
perishable food, cleaning and
personal hygiene products to more
than 76 women and children residing
at Charis House.
“This is the second year that
Lutheran staff and physicians have
initiated and organized this effort,”
said Mindy Brown, nurse manager
of Childbirth Suites at Lutheran
Hospital. “We have fun with it
because we make it a competition
with teams and we track progress.”
After Lutheran staff delivered
donations, they were guided on a
tour of the newly constructed home-
less shelter. Since their visit,
Lutheran nurses have decided to
organize a cookout for the nonprofit
organization in the near future.
“Making the effort to help others
outside of work is the core purpose
and it demonstrates that we
genuinely care about our commu-
nity,” Brown said.
For more information on Charis
House, visit www.rescue
ministries.us.

A new identity, headquarters for Fort Wayne Trails

Fort Wayne Trails has a brand
new look. The organization
recently announced its new
image at a press conference near
the Wells Street Bridge.
The new logo, created by One
Lucky Guitar, is an emblem that
FWT said embodies the organiza-
tion’s dedication to creating a
vibrant and connected community
by growing, improving and
supporting the area’s multi-use
trail system. The new logo is
shaped like a shield, signifying
the organization’s strength and
legacy, FWT said. The icon uses
simple lines to represent the trails
that meander through the neigh-
borhoods, farms, forests and rivers
of our region.
Included in the logo is a new
motto, “Activus Transportare,”
Latin for “active transportation.”
According to FWT, the motto is a
nod to the core purpose for
building more trails in more
places - enabling residents and
visitors to walk, run, bike or roll
to destinations throughout the city
without the use of an automobile.
By heel or wheel, the trails
provide a safe and increasingly
convenient way to burn calories,
not gas, the organization said.
“We arrived at a new identity
that we believe captures who we
are as an organization, namely, an
enterprise with staying power,
strength, focus, energy and
commitment to connecting popu-
lation centers throughout the Fort
Wayne and Allen County area,”
said Mark Pope, Fort Wayne
Trails’ chairman of the board.
At the press conference, FWT
also announced its new headquar-
ters, Arts United’s Auer Center for

The Village Inn expands with family dining
The Roanoke Village Inn
has been a local institution for
over 50 years. For parents, the
restaurant has been a longtime
favorite, but kids could not
enjoy the neighborhood gem
until they were at least 18
years old. That is, until now.
The Roanoke Village Inn is
turning the page with a new
venture - family dining.
The restaurant has redeco-
rated its upstairs room to a
family friendly and smoke free
atmosphere. The children’s
menu features chicken fingers,
burgers, macaroni and cheese
and corndogs.
Jodie Hunnicutt, owner and
mother of three children,
admitted she loves having
families at the restaurant now.
“My own kids love it. We’ve
enclosed the bar, added new
tables, new pictures on the
walls and televisions. The
room is great for those who’d
like to enjoy their dinner with
more of a restaurant atmos-
phere than a bar. It’s the best
of both worlds.”
There are two entrances to
the upstairs family room - one
through the restaurant’s back
entrance on Second Street and
the other door, adjacent to the
front entrance, on Main Street.
The front entrance has been
clearly marked as a family
room entrance. Indiana excise
A9
laws continue to require that
patrons must be 18 years old
to enter through the main bar
door.
The Village Inn made other
recent changes, like opening
for business on Sundays and
offering specials. The bar and
dining areas have a new look,
a brand new kitchen was
installed and the menu now
offers some healthier options.
In addition to fried, the restau-
rant has added preparation
options including grilled,
blackened or broiled.
However, some things
remain the same, like the

Lutheran School. It was
important to her that she
stay in touch with former
students, so creating
something like
“AWEsome Travels -
Around the World in Eight
months” gave her that
chance.
On the first Friday of
every month, some of
Beck’s former students
join her in the classroom,
where she takes them on a
60-minute trek to distant
places. The students have
already read a book about
the country by the time
they “take flight.” Then,
through the power of their
own imaginations, they
board the plane on “Miss
Beck Airlines” to another
land.
Beck constructed travel
logs for students to docu-
ment their journeys. The
travel log includes a pass-
port page, a map of
“AWEsome Countries”
visited, a scrapbook page
and worksheets. Students
learn the country’s flag,
dominant religion, type of
government, capitol,
wildlife, landscapes and
aspects of its culture.
“We have gone on seven
trips so far, and Iceland is
our last,” Beck said. This
year, students already
learned about Brazil,
India, Ireland, China, Iraq
and Australia.

The third graders in the
group are welcome to take
AWEsome Travels with
Beck again in fourth
grade. Even though they
would likely travel to the
same places next year, all
the students were excited
and said they want to do it
again.
“I want to go again for
the shrimp!” said Jere-
miah Marks. “We went to
Australia and we got to
eat shrimp that day.”
“Does everyone
remember what we call
shrimp in Australia?”
Beck asked.
“Prawns on the Barbie!”
they responded.
On their trip to Egypt,
students gathered around
Beck to learn about hiero-
glyphs, a writing system
used by the ancient Egyp-
tians. Beck handed out
markers and Popsicle
sticks for each student to
create their very own
cartouche by using hiero-
glyphics to write their

Barbecued Beef Brisket for Gas Grill
Ingredients:
1 package of
Sandy’s Special Spice Butt Rub
Brisket:
1 whole beef brisket (point and
flat cut together) from Custom
Quality Meats, 9 to 11 pounds,
fat trimmed to ¼-inch thickness
2 cups of wood chips
3 cups of barbecue sauce
(homemade or store bought-
whichever you prefer)
Featuring
SUNDAY
Serves 18 to 24
Instructions:
1. Apply Sandy’s Special Spice Butt Rub liberally to all sides of the brisket;
wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 48 hours.
2. For Brisket: One hour prior to cooking, remove the brisket from the
refrigerator, unwrap and let it come up to room temperature.
3. Soak the wood chips in cold water to cover for 30 minutes and drain. Place
them in a foil tray.
4. Place the foil tray on top of the primary burner. Light all the burners and
turn to high, cover, and heat until the chips are smoking heavily (about 20
minutes).
5. Scrape the cooking grate clean with a grill brush. Turn the primary burner
down to medium and turn off the other burners. Position the brisket, fat
side up, over the cooler part of the grill. Cover and barbecue for 2 hours.
(The temperature inside the grill should be a constant 275 degrees; adjust
the lit burner as necessary).
6. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 300 degrees.
7. Attach 2 pieces of heavy-duty foil, 4 ft. long, by folding the long edges
together 2 or 3 times, crimping tightly to seal well, to form a 4 x 3 foot
rectangle.
8. Position the brisket lengthwise in the center of the foil. Bring the short
edges over the brisket and fold down, crimping tightly to seal. Repeat with
the long sides of the foil to seal the brisket completely.
9. Place the brisket on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the meat is fork-
tender, 3 to 3 ½ hours.

COMIC from page A13 creators like Gray Morrow

Summit City Comic Con.
“This convention was
born out of not just a love
for the medium, but for
the community that has
arisen from it.”
Comics have long held
its place in popular
culture. Summit City
Comic Con aims to give
an opportunity for fans,
both new and old, to
connect with creators, find
something new, and
discover or re-discover the
magic of comics, Kruse
said.
“Fort Wayne is really a
great comics town. We’re
very fortunate to have the
number of comic shops
that we do, not to mention
all of the great gaming
and other geek-related
stores,” Kruse continued.
“We’re also home to some
really incredibly talented,
legendary comic book
and Denys Cowan. I want
[Summit City Con] to
help the local comics
community to thrive and
grow. It’s a great place to
be.”
Morrow, a Fort Wayne
native, was best known as
art director of Spider-Man
and illustrator of the
syndicated Tarzan, Buck
Rogers, Flash Gordon and
Prince Valiant comic
strips. A 15-year veteran
of the entertainment
industry, Cowan was the
chief creative force behind
the “Static Shock”
animated series from
Warner Brothers Anima-
tion that earned
consecutive Emmy Award
nominations from 2001-
2003.
The 2011 Summit City
Comic Con represents a
spectrum of the comics’
community, ranging from
the most mainstream to
the very independent-
minded. In addition to the
show floor, panels are
scheduled throughout the
day, focusing on subjects
like the importance of
“all-ages” comics to the
application of law in the
fictional Marvel and DC
comics genre.
“The capes and cowls
will always be a part of
comics,” Kruse said. “But
there is so much more to
the artform than that.
There’s crime drama,
autobiographical slice-of-
life stories, horror,
historical fiction, spy
stories, books that explain

Wetlands Walk a departure from the norm

Walking to raise money and awareness for various
causes throughout the spring and summer months is a
popular approach to fundraising. However, Sean Nolan,
executive director of the Little River Wetlands Project,
called the Walk for the Wetlands a “very different
fundraising walk.”
“Expect to see a lot of wildlife. Frogs will be every-
where. You may see a turtle or two and eagle sightings are
entirely possible.” Nolan said.
Little River Wetlands Project’s 5K/2K Walk for the
Wetlands, presented by Brooks Construction Company,
will take place on Saturday, June 11 on the nature trails of
LRWP’s 716-acre Eagle Marsh preserve, 6801 Engle Rd.
Participants can start walking anytime between 8:30 and
11 a.m. from the Eagle Marsh barn. Naturalists will intro-
duce walkers to the preserve’s plants and animals at
interactive stations along the trail, and snacks and other
hand-outs will be available.
Walkers can join in by fundraising $25 or more for
LRWP, with prizes for higher amounts, or register to walk
for a $25 donation per adult, $10 for ages 7-18 and free
for children six or younger. Walk teams are also welcome.
Walkers who register for a $25 or more donation by May
27 will be given a T-shirt featuring a painted turtle, one of
Eagle Marsh’s many wetland residents.
More information is available at www.lrwp.org/walk,
by calling 260-478-2515 or sending an email to walkfor

Chiropractors promise to partner with patients

“Dr. Hiss and I decided to move

we felt like we could combine them to

Delivery service sprouts up in Fort Wayne

By LINDA LIPP
lindal@fwbusiness.com
An Indianapolis company that
provides front-door deliveries of
organic produce and other natural
and specialty foods is expanding its
service to Fort Wayne in May.
Husband and wife Matt Ewer and
Elizabeth Blessing founded Green
B.E.A.N. Delivery - the letters in the
name stand for Biodynamic service,
Educating customers, contributing to
local Agriculture and economy, and
advocating Nutrition - in 2007. The
company now employs 70 people,
makes 5,000 deliveries a week and
has expanded its coverage area
beyond Indianapolis to Cincinnati,
Columbus and Dayton, Ohio, and
Louisville, Ky.
Green B.E.A.N. already has some
farmers and other suppliers in north-
east Indiana, including Seven Sons
Meat Co. and American wagyu beef
supplier Joseph Decuis in Roanoke;
Gunthrop Farms, a LaGrange pork
and poultry producer; Sechler’s
Pickles, in St. Joe; and Aunt Millie’s
Bakery, which supplies organic
breads. Adding Fort Wayne to its
delivery market just made sense,
Ewer said.
“We really almost go to where the
supplies are,” Ewer said. “We kind
of like that small to midsized
market. We think they’re over-
looked.”
The first deliveries to Fort Wayne
initially were scheduled to begin
April 20, but that has been pushed
back to the first week of May.
Customers can sign up online for
weekly or biweekly deliveries, with
a minimum order of $35 worth of
produce or $25 in produce and plus
$10 in other groceries required to
avoid added delivery fees.
The mix of seasonal produce
varies from week to week, although
customers can choose to customize
their orders, and deliveries are made
in special lined bins.
For starters, Fort Wayne customers
will be served from the Indianapolis
warehouses. When a critical mass of
customers is reached here - and
that’s a couple hundred, Ewer said -
the company will begin looking for a
warehouse and distribution center to
lease in Fort Wayne.
If Green B.E.A.N.’s growth in Fort
Wayne proceeds in the same fashion
as it did in Columbus, the company
would expect to create 10 local jobs
within the first year, Ewer said.
Green B.E.A.N. recently acquired
a 60-acre property in Sheridan, just a
little north of Indianapolis, to estab-
lish its own organic farm. The Feel
Good Farm, as it has been named,
will help the company keep up with
the demand for organic vegetables.
“We’re seeing a lot of demand but
we’re not seeing a lot of farmers out
there doing that,” Ewer said.
In the winter months, when the
Midwest can’t grow produce, Green
B.E.A.N. buys certified organic

IPFW welcomes new dean of students
After conducting a
nationwide search, Indiana
University-Purdue Univer-
sity Fort Wayne has
selected Eric Norman as
its new dean of students.
Norman, who begins his
duties later this month,
comes to IPFW from the
Office of the Dean of
Students at Louisiana
State University (LSU) in
Baton Rouge, La., where
he served as associate
dean of students and
director of the office of
student advocacy and
accountability since June
2006.
Prior to that, Norman
was director of fraternity
and sorority life at
Virginia Tech, where he
was also an affiliated
assistant professor in the
department of educational
leadership and policy
studies.
“I was drawn to IPFW
by the vision and growth
of the university. Other
schools seek to increase
their enrollment, but few
are able to achieve the
success that IPFW has
accomplished in such a

Investing beyond Short-term CDs

Many people depend on
certificates of deposit (CDs) to
provide extra income. Yet CD
rates have been fairly low for a
while. In recent months, in
fact, one-year CDs were
paying about 0.5%, two-year
CDs topped out at around 1%,
and five-year CDs paid in the
2% to 2. 3% range. Those
rates are scanty enough, but
they can seem even lower in
an economic environment
marked by rising food and gas
prices.
Before you consider alterna-
tives, keep in mind that CDs
still offer a key advantage:
safety of principal. The Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) typically insures CDs
up to $250,000. And since
CDs are relatively short-term
in nature, you don’t have to
worry about locking away that
money for long periods of
time. So there can be a place
for CDs in the fixed-income
portion of your portfolio.
However, during times such as
these, you might consider
looking at additional options,
keeping in mind that, when
seeking greater income, you’ll
likely be taking on more risk.
Let’s consider a few alterna-
tives:
• Fixed annuities — Many

people buy fixed annuities to
supplement their retirement
income. But most annuities
also allow you to take up to
10% of your account value
each year without penalty.
Plus, the interest rate you
receive on a fixed annuity may
be more competitive than that
currently paid by a CD. Keep
in mind, though, that annuities
are not backed by FDIC
insurance, and any guarantees
are backed solely by the paying
ability of the insurance
company. Additionally, early or
excessive withdrawals may be
subject to penalties. If you
believe a fixed annuity might

Making Sense of Investing
be appropriate for your
situation, speak with your
financial advisor.
• Bond ladders — If appro-
priate for your situation, you
can potentially gain extra
income through a strategy
known as a bond “ladder.” To
build a ladder, you buy several
bonds with varying maturities
— short-, intermediate- and
long-term. Once you’ve
constructed your ladder, you
could gain some advantage in
various interest rate environ-
ments. When market rates are
low, you’ll still have your
longer-term bonds earning
higher interest rates. And
when market rates rise, you
can reinvest your maturing
short-term bonds at the higher
rates. But if you need income
in addition to your regular
interest payments, you can get
it from the maturing bonds.
Unlike CDs, however, bonds
are not covered by FDIC
insurance and are subject to
credit risks. Bonds are also
subject to interest rate risk:
When interest rates rise, bond
prices generally fall, and you
may lose some or all of your
principal if you sell your bond
prior to maturity. But by
holding your bonds until
maturity, you can avoid loss of
principal, assuming the issuer
doesn’t default.
• Dividend-paying stocks —
Some companies have paid —
and increased — their stock
dividends for many years now.
If you don’t need the
dividends to boost your cash
flow, you can reinvest them to
help boost your ownership
stake. However, companies
can reduce or discontinue
their dividends at any time,
and since stock prices fluctu-
ate, you risk losing some or all
of your principal.
By exploring alternatives to
short-term CDs, you may find
other appropriate investments
that may better position you to
reach your financial goals —
so look around to see what’s
available in the financial
marketplace.

Summit Science Fair:
Not Stuck in the Past
Each spring area students participate in science
fair. Yes, that time of year when parents seem to do
more of the work than their child, and everyone is just
happy that the project “looks” good in the end even
though you know that the most that can be earned is
a thin, little, blue ribbon. But science fair these days
has changed drastically from what you may be used
to. Environmental science, biochemistry, engineering
and cellular and molecular biology are just a few of the
categories students now consider when choosing a
project.
Summit Middle School is given the opportunity (like
other middle schools in the area) to send 5 outstand-
ing student projects to the Northeast Indiana Regional
Engineering and Science Fair hosted by IPFW. This sci-
ence fair is not the red, white and blue ribbon winning
affair of the past. Awards include $50, $100, and $200
gift certificates, U.S. Navy and Marine Corps medallions,
and $500 scholarship awards among many other presti-
gious awards. And, again, students here are awarded the

opportunity to advance to the state’s Hoosier Science
and Engineering Fair where the top prize is a $10,000
cash award.
Seventh grader Nirupama Devanathan, and sixth
graders Megan Crawford, Megan Johnson, Saniye Wilson,
Sarah Riley, and Eric Schlutz were Summit’s 2011 Sci-
ence Fair winners. Nirupama went on to place first at
IPFW’s Regional Science Fair in Cellular and Molecular
Sciences and was awarded the Office of Naval Research
Science Award, the Linda Balthaser Healthy Living
Award, and 2011 Broadcom Masters Nominee Award.
Saniye Wilson placed second in the same category.

SACS DANCE TEAM

The dance team members of
the Homestead, Woodside and Sum-
mit dance teams celebrated the end
of another successful season at the
Indiana High School Dance Team
Association (IHSDTA) State Finals
in New Castle on March 18th and
19th. Their season began with the
girls participating in the Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.
The dancers sold pink bracelets and
raffle tickets to raise over $4000 for
this worthwhile cause. In addition,
the girls donated items to the Mad
Anthony’s Children’s Hope House.
Children’s Hope House offers a
place to stay for families of children
receiving care at Lutheran Hospital.
The dance team members donated
kitchen and toiletry items as well
as gift cards to local restaurants
and grocery stores. When not vol-
unteering their time, the girls spent
many hours in the dance room pre-
paring for their competitions. The
Homestead Varsity Dance Team was
named State Champions in the Lyri-
cal Dance category for the 10th year
in a row. The team also received
third place in Elite Jazz, 5th place in
Elite Pom, 4th in duet, 3rd in small
ensemble, and 4th and 7th place
in large ensemble. Homestead’s JV
team placed third in Jazz, fourth in
Pom and 8th in the duet category.
Summit Middle School’s dance team
placed 3rd in Junior High Interme-
diate Pom and 5th in Junior High
Intermediate Jazz. Woodside Middle
School’s dance team placed 4th in
Junior High Elite Jazz, 5th in Junior
High Elite Pom and 6th in the Junior
High Ensemble category. Congratu-
lations to all the dancers on a suc-
cessful competition season and for
supporting the community in so
many ways!
Many wonderful parent volunteers donated
ingredients, as well as helped students mix the treats
from seven different recipes. Students then cut the pet
treats out with cookie cutters. After they were baked,
students packaged the treats (complete with ingredi-
ent labels that were made in our computer lab).The
students took pre-orders which guided them on how
many treats to make (well over 2,000).Then they sold
the treats during all the lunch periods.
Black Pines Animal Park volunteer, Diane Lenrich,
later came to visit, bringing animal collector cards
for each student involved.The students were able to
hear firsthand what a difference the $554.51 donation
would make in the lives of these animals.
In this hands-on economics project, students
learned about goods and services that are provided in
a community.They also focused on this as a commu-
nity service project for animals in our community.They
learned a great deal about working with others to ac-
complish a monumental goal. We are very grateful for

students brought in baked goods for the audience to
purchase during the concert. The WMS Choir students
performed their ISSMA Organizational Contest selections
for the event and “Class Act” made their final 2011season
appearance performing their contest show. Overall, the
event raised $3000 for the Allen County Court Appointed
Special Advocate Organization. Thank you to all local
business owners and families who helped to sponsor
and support the event. In the last four years the students
and families of SACS have raised over $8000 for the Allen
County CASA Organization.
Deer Ridge Technology
Update
Three years ago, Principal Kevin Kempton had a
dream of getting Smart Boards into all classrooms at
Deer Ridge. Through the continued support of this ini-
tiative by Principal Jennifer Sprague and the help of the
PTC and fundraising efforts, the remaining four classes
will soon have their Smart Boards in place. This is an
amazing accomplishment that will give students an ad-
vantage as they evolve in their technological learning.
Also new to the computer lab are copies of the game
Oregon Trail that will help 2nd and 3rd grade students
learn about pioneers as they traveled the Oregon Trail.
Through this game, they work on problem solving
skills to determine routes, food, and supplies for their
journey. Finally, all students are encouraged to con-
tinue working in Compass Learning over the summer
months. Compass can be accessed from any computer
from the Deer Ridge home page/Connections/Compass
Learning. Students just need to have their Deer Ridge
username and password (school name stays at ODYS-
SEY) to have access to their activities. If parents have
any questions about Compass Learning, they should
email Ms. Fluharty at kfluharty@sacs.k12.in.us.
HOMESTEAD HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENT
HONORED AS YOUTH
HUMANITARIAN
OF THE YEAR.
Alison Mansfield was recently honored as the Youth
Humanitarian of the Year by the American Red Cross of
Northeast Indiana.
Alison Mansfield is the founder of Operation U.S.
Troop Support.
The Homestead High School sophomore from Fort
Wayne, IN, has sent our troops more than $250,000
worth of care packages and thousands of letters of sup-
port. She rallied her Girl Scout troop to seek donations
of cookies, asked hotels to donate toiletries and raised
more than $24,000 to pay for shipping. The inspiration
for Operation U.S. Troop Support is Sgt. Paul Statzer, a
soldier who was injured in a convoy explosion. Alison
was in 5th grade at the time when she learned about
Sgt. Statzer from a church bulletin and was so inspired
by his story she chose to write about him for a proj-
ect on civic virtue. To learn more about Alison and Sgt.
Statzer visit, www.operationustroopsupport.org
Alison has previously been honored nationally for
her amazing community service efforts.

Museum Teacher Fellowship Program
Congratulations go out to Jon Baker
who was selected to be part of the
United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum Teacher Fellowship Program.
Jon is one of 15 educators (13 from the
United States and 2 guest teachers from
Germany) who in July will be participat-
ing in a five-day, all expense paid summer
institute at the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.
Following the summer institute, Jon will
be designing and implementing an out-

tion, the community, or for a professional
organization. The following July, all
Fellows will attend a follow-up program
at the Museum to continue their study of
the Holocaust.
Deer Ridge students spent the month of
April learning that bullying is an unaccept-
able behavior. Classrooms participated in an
anti-bullying contest by seeing who could
come up with the most unique door design
(congratulations to Mr. Davis’ and Mrs. Phelps’
classes for the winning designs). Some stu-
dents also helped create an anti-bullying video
that answered the questions “What is bully-
ing?”,“How does it make you feel?”, and “What
should you do if you see someone being bul-
lied?” During lunch, they watched webisodes
from the Stop Bullying Now website (http://
takeastand.stopbullying.gov/kids/webisodes/

with bullies at their school. The week ended
with students watching a video of the story

Earth Day Happenings at Aboite Elementary

Earth Day
Aboite Elementary’s second graders celebrated Earth Day one day early this year. They
collected a notable total of 25 pounds of trash from the areas around Aboite Elementary
School. Students made a prediction about the amount of trash that would be collected
from the following areas: playground and back of building, front of building and bus
circle, entry and front area of the Environmental Center and the first grade playground
and Central Office area. After each class collected their trash from the assigned area, the
class combined their collection and weighed the trash collected. This data was used to
create a graph comparing their predictions with the actual amount of trash collected. Most
students were stunned at the amount of trash collected. In the words of a second grader:
“After all, isn’t it against the law to litter?

Composer
Can you imagine elementary students being composers? A group of Ft. Wayne area
4th graders achieved this status during the past year. “Bravo” to Eliza Stanley, one of Aboite
Elementary’s talented students, for her contribution to the FAME music composition
project!
Every year area schools send representatives to participate in this great event. Sessions
in the fall season commence the work, and, after several weeks, the original melodies are
forwarded to be orchestrated. The final result is a fantastic performance of the work in
March at the FAME festival by the Ft. Wayne Philharmonic! Congratulations, Eliza!

Colbert’s positive attitude
toward life after getting to
know him as a long time
client at Phresh Creative
Hair Concepts, where she
is a stylist. For Raber,
Colbert is an inspiration.
“He has had cancer
pretty much since she met
him and he has never
focused on talking about
it with her,” said Jeni
Chandler, who works with
Raber at Phresh. “He is
funny and would talk
about fun parts of life.
“He still through it all is
the most optimistic person
I have ever met. He knows
his cancer is terminal, but
he simply says, ‘These are
the cards I was dealt and I
am going to work with
what I have. All of us at
Phresh are completely
inspired and moved by
him and his amazing
outlook on life.”
Inspired so much that
Phresh decided to put
together a fundraiser.
“The first thought was
for this fundraiser to
benefit Jon and his family,
but he has bigger plans,”
Chandler said. “He
doesn’t want any of the
proceeds. He wants the
proceeds to go to LIVE-
STRONG because they
help cancer patients and a
lot of cancer patients do
not know of the support
that is out there. His
mission while he is still
with us is to spread the
word about LIVE-
STRONG and men getting
prescreened for cancers.”
The fundraiser Aug. 6 at
Phresh Creative Hair

the first to benefit LIVE-

HU nursing program receives
full accreditation
Huntington University
launched a nursing
program only four years
ago. Now, as the campus
prepares for commence-
ment ceremonies that will
honor the nursing depart-
ment’s first graduating
class, the program has
received full accreditation
from the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Educa-
tion.
The program was
awarded a five-year
accreditation with no
compliance concerns, the
most a first-time program
may receive under the
guidelines of the accred-
iting body.
“This is a dream come
true and truly an answer
to prayer,” said Norris
Friesen, vice president and
dean of the university.
“We started this process
almost eight years ago and

to see the program
become fully accredited is
amazing. I am excited to
see how God will use our
nurses to impact our
communities and beyond.
For accreditation, the
university was required to
write a self-study report,
host a site visit by an eval-
uation team and have the
results reviewed by the
CCNE Board. CCNE is an
independent accrediting
agency recognized by the
U.S. Secretary of Educa-
tion as a national
accreditation agency.
CCNE assesses baccalau-
reate and graduate nursing
programs.
“This has been a
combined effort of the
faculty, staff and students
of the Department of
Nursing with the support
of the administration and
staff of the university,”

said Margaret Winter,
director of nursing. “The
accreditation is a critical
factor for students
obtaining employment in
the health care field as
well as obtaining
advanced degrees, such as
a nurse practitioner or
nurse educator.”
In 2007, the Indiana
State Board of Nursing
voted to grant full initial
accreditation to the
university’s nursing
program.
The Bachelor of
Science in nursing degree
at HU is built upon Chris-
tian principles and is
strengthened by a broad
curriculum in the liberal
arts, the university said.
The program provides
students with extensive
on-campus and off-
campus clinical
experiences as well as in-

depth training in human
anatomy and physiology,
chemistry and core
courses in the liberal arts.

square-foot science hall
houses the nursing lab
complete with simulated
patients.
