Canal Days to honor Faith & Family By Garth Snow
Graduates may get option to buy their school iPads

By Garth Snow
“Faith & Family” is a fitting theme for the 2013 Canal Days, said festival committee President Jon Stauffer. “I think that’s really important,” he said. “Especially in this day and age. There are a lot of things that are scary in this world. The one thing that we can rely on as Americans is our faith and our family.” Canal Days returns to Broadway Street and Schnelker Park from Tuesday through Saturday, June 4 to 8. “We look forward to having a very good festival, good weather, just an all around good week,” Stauffer said. The festival theme corresponds to the decision to invite the Sidewalk Prophets to perform on the main stage from 8:15 p.m.10:15 p.m. Saturday. “That’s going to be really huge,” Stauffer said.

East Allen County high school graduates might be allowed to buy the iPads they’ve carried throughout their senior year. School board member Arden Hoffman offered that suggestion May 7. The board asked Director of Accountability/Technology William Deal and Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services Kirby Stahly to explore that possibility. A report is expected in time for the next regular board meeting, at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 21. Hoffman said some constituents had approached him about the possibility of keeping their iPads. He said students should have an option “to preserve their apps and preserve their work with that iPad as they’re going into college.” “Also, I understand that the iPad 3 is no longer being sold,” Hoffman said. The school district is contracted to buy the iPads on a three-year replacement cycle. “Generally when you have a capital lease the bank actually owns the equipment until the last payment’s made,” Deal told the East Allen County Times. He said he and Stahly would explore the options, as the board instructed. In another technology matter, Deal said the parent-notification system is being replaced. The current system has been in use about 10 years, he said. Principals can record messages, and the phone system then dials each parent’s phone. The problem is that only 10 phone lines are available to dial those calls. In the event of multiple messages, he said, that notification can take up to two days. “The new SchoolMessenger that we have can pop everything out in 20 minutes,” Deal said. Parents can be notified by phone, email or text, or by multiple means.

Groups such as the Kiwanis are part of “the unheralded army that will continue to make the lives of children better,” according to Allen Superior Court Judge Charles Pratt. The founder of Great Kids Make Great Communities addressed five Allen County Kiwanis clubs, who held their first joint banquet at the Holiday Inn IPFW. Delegates expressed hope that “An Evening Celebrating Unity in Service to the Community and Youth” will become an annual event. Pratt served as keynote speaker for an audience of about 150 Kiwanis and guests. He recounted stories of violence in Allen County, and of efforts to combat the influences that contribute to that behavior. Pratt’s program will offer free training to community leaders in May. Community leaders are invited to a program on May 21 and 23, designed for churches and other

It’s something bigger than Canal Days has ever done.” Stauffer said the group was part of Winter Jam at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum this past January. “It is a free concert to the public,” Stauffer said. “I believe we are going to have a small VIP area to the front, about 200 people.” Beth Stauffer said VIP seating costs $10. Spectators may set up their own lawn chairs in a sectionedoff area near the stage. VIP bracelets are on sale
at the parks office, 1125 Hartzell St. Among the many entertainment options, Jon Stauffer also mentioned the New Haven’s Got Talent Show on the main stage, from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday. The talent show is a longtime festival fixture, he said, but took a break in recent years. Johnny TinCap, the baseball mascot, will be one of the judges. “Our entertainment area is going to have a huge transformation,” Stauffer said. The stage used to be just platform risers on the end of the tent. “And this
year it’s going to be a huge stage with the roofing and lighting and all of that,” he said. “We took the stage and turned it around facing the park, which will give it a lot more exposure.” “Everything is coming along really well,” he said. “The planning is really coming together.” “We’re just trying to grow and get more community involvement,” Stauffer said. “We’re just trying to keep things going and have a good festival year to year.” Jon Stauffer has been president of the committee

Beth Stauffer is in her first year on the committee, though she has supported the festival during all her 10 years in New Haven. “My son is now in school, so I have a little bit more time to contribute,” she said. She also writes publicity for the festival guide. She said the nonprofit festival committee has funneled thousands of dollars back into the community over the years. Such festivals bring communities together, she said, and visitors might see neighbors whom they will not see for the rest of the year. “A lot of people come back home and they know the first weekend in June is going to be festival and so people back for the midway. It’s a real family event. There’s something for everyone.” Jon Stauffer said the New Haven Festival Committee is a nonprofit organization. “We put on the Canal Days, but we also hope to have enough (money) to put it on the next year. But we also give back to the community.” He said a list of dona-
tions is available at the committee’s website, newhavencanaldays.me. Jon Stauffer said Burton Brothers Amusements again will operate the rides for the midway. “And they are a very class operation,” he said. “They’re great to work with, and we’ve had a lot of positive comments about them.” Stauffer said the arrangement with the parks department is vital to the festival. A few years ago, he said, the festival was suffering. “There was talk of it not continuing.” The cost of insurance was a burden to the festival, he said. “So Mike Clendenen, the parks superintendent, said, ‘Let me talk with the park department and see if they can help out with the insurance.’ ” By putting the insurance under the city’s umbrella, the cost was contained, Stauffer said. Clendenen also is in charge of the food tents, which will be set up in Schnelker Park. Tables will be set up for diners. “Actually, the Canal Eatery is what they officially titled it,” Clendenen said. “This year we have three vendors.” The Sertoma Club and the Kiwanis Club will
return to offer festival fare. Rack & Helen’s Catering will join the food tent this year. Separately, Jones is in charge of the food vendors along Broadway, the merchant vendors inside the tent, and the craft booths on the parks grounds. “I am a sucker for the cinnamon-roasted nuts or the deep-fried cheese,” she said. Other vendor foods include ice cream, shaved ice, pork tenderloin sandwiches, Italian sausage, hot dogs, hamburgers, lemon shakeups, frozen cheesecake, pizza puffs, candy apples, carmel corn and saltwater taffy. She said Auburn Enterprises will offer curly fries, chips, corn dogs, cobbler and ice cream. “They’ve been coming forever,” she said. In all, 13 food vendors are registered. Inside the tent, visitors will find 13 home improvement businesses and other specialty businesses. “Many of our vendors are returning vendors, so they must like it,” Jones said. Exhibitors will include colleges and churches. Businesses will include bathroom fitters, See FAMILY, Page A3

Canal history trickles through time, into festival lore By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
Jon Stauffer said the name for the New Haven Canal Days festival takes its name from the community’s history. “The Wabash & Erie Canal used to come through here and out into the Black Swamp area, so they came up with the name Canal Days,” said Stauffer, who serves as president of the sponsoring New Haven Festival Committee. “The Black Swamp area is more east of New Haven, but the canal actually came through New Haven.” He said vestiges of the canal still attract curiosity. “Back in the ’90s they found a canal lock, when they were doing construction with I-469,” he said. “There’s a power substation out there and they actually found the remains of one of the original canal locks out there. If you ever drive along Old 24 between New Haven and Woodburn, the
ditches along the roads are pretty deep. And that’s actually part of the canal.” He said someone brought an actual canal boat to the festival in 1958. Stauffer said the festival itself dates back about 50 years, although there were some years without festival activities. “Every once in a while, someone asks why it is called Canal Days, and I’ll give them a little history,” he said. He said New Haven natives have an edge when the conversation turns to the state’s history. “When they get to talking about Indiana and the Wabash & Erie Canal, you can say ‘I’m from New Haven, and the canal came through New Haven.’ It’s one of those things you can say that’s kind of cool.” The Wabash & Erie Canal linked water access from the state line near Fort Wayne to Evansville, and the Ohio
June 4-8
River. The canal tied into waterways in Ohio, and ultimately to the Erie Canal and the East. Work on the canal began in 1832. The waterway carried its last cargo in the 1870s, during the rise of the railroad age. The Wabash & Erie Canal Association strives to restore and promote the Wabash & Erie Canal by providing educational experiences that will teach history and inspire others to become involved. According to the group’s website, the canal measured 468 miles, from Toledo to Evansville. For more information on New Haven Canal Days, visit http://newhavencanaldays.me.

It is not by chance that Mindy Torres coordinates Relay for Life events, the signature fundraising events for the American Cancer Society. “It’s very personal for me,” said Torres. “My grandmother is a four-time cancer survivor. I used to work with another nonprofit, and I loved it there, but it just didn’t hit home like the Cancer Society.” Torres came to the Fort Wayne office from northwest Ohio, where her father is battling his second bout of cancer. Torres and two other community representatives organize 16 Relays for Life in and near Fort Wayne. The first events were May 18, in DeKalb and Noble counties. Four
events will be held in Allen County in June. Torres coordinates June 1-2 events at New Haven High School and Woodlan Jr./Sr. High School, and a June 8-9 event at Bishop Luers High School. Melissa Stephens coordinates a June 8-9 event at Sirva Inc. Christy Means does not work from the Fort Wayne office, but coordinates four of the 16 events in northeast Indiana. “The volunteers actually do most of the work,” Torres said. “They plan and implement. They are the driving force behind the event.” Organizations, companies and groups of friends organize teams and gather pledges for walks. Each Relay begins at 9 a.m. and continues for 24 hours. “It’s a signature fundraising event for the

American Cancer Society, where teams of people get together and raise money and walk the track for 24 hours, really symbolizing the fact that cancer never sleeps,” Torres said. “That’s why the whole 24hour theme came about.” Soon after the program opens, the track is opened to the survivors lap, featuring those who have battled cancer. The caregiver lap recognizes those who have given care to
cancer patients. All of the Relay teams are invited to walk together during the opening lap. As evening arrives, attention turns to the luminaria ceremony. “That is one of the biggest draws for people coming to the event,” Torres said. “We usually have the best turnout for the luminaria ceremony.” Friends and family See RELAYS, Page A7

members pay tribute to those who have battled cancer, including those whose fight has ended. The honoree’s name is written on a paper bag, weighted with sand. A candle is placed inside the bag, and lighted candles glow from bags in a circle around the track. The cost is $10. “And it’s really just to pay tribute to everyone that we know and love that has battled cancer,� Torres said. Supporters may register at the American Cancer Society’s website, or may attend the event. “It’s a very emotional and touching ceremony,� she said. Many luminaria ceremonies include bagpipes. “After the luminaria ceremony we join each other on the track and we have one lap of silence to remember and to honor all the cancer
survivors,� she said. And through the night, after the ceremonies, the enthusiasm continues. “The committee works really hard to provide different themed hours,� Torres said. “There are dance parties in the middle of the night. There are pizza parties. There’s upbeat music. They try to be really creative to keep people going.� The Fight Back Ceremony helps close the event. Relayers take a final lap and pledge to take action and spread awareness of cancer research, treatment and prevention. Teams have been registering and recruiting walkers and donations for months, but there is no deadline to apply. “We have teams that just show up the day of the event and register,� Torres said.
“Of course we recommend registration in advance, so they can start their fundraising early, but we never shut off registration.� Stephens said the Sirva event is doing well in fundraising, but is down in participants. That event is earmarked for the west side of Allen County — from north to south — but entrants may gravitate toward any of the four Relays. Stephens, too, said her commitment to American Cancer Society fundraising is a personal mission. She volunteered at Relays in high school and was captain of her college Relay team. In 2008, her grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died within weeks. “And I can see how cancer changes lives,� Stephens said.

“And I promised myself I would do something to change other people’s lives, so that other people wouldn’t have to go through what my grandmother went through.� In that summer of 2008, Stephens donated a kidney, in tribute to her grandmother. “I just remember my mom saying over and over again, ‘If we could have one more day with her. If we could have one more vacation with her.’ So that was my way of giving back as well,� she said. She said the Sirva event, in its second year, is open to everyone. “We have a really cool opening ceremony planned, with a motorcycle brigade that is going to do our first lap,� she said. “They did that same opening ceremony last year, and people loved it.�

THRILLED TO BE PART OF
THE TEAM.
• Are you a family looking for the plan that ďŹ ts both your coverage and budget needs? Health insurance needs differ, whether it’s an individual shopping for his own insurance or for family coverage; a senior who needs help understanding the Medicare system and its choices; or a small business owner trying to ďŹ nd affordable coverage for employees; or the self-employed person who must purchase his own insurance. “There are so many choices,â€? says Kevin Sorg, a licensed agent for Chambers Roper Insurance Services’ Fort Wayne ofďŹ ce. “I provide experienced guidance to get the customer to the right plan.â€? New regulations and changes in health care coverage have not diminished confusion over policies and what they cover or do not cover. In fact, the new regulations may cause even more confusion for those shopping for insurance, when trying to evaluate their choices. Sorg says his experienced guidance can help clients make sense of deductibles, tiers, and out-of-pocket maximums. As part of an independent agency that works with many companies, including large ones like Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield United Health Care, he can help customers sift through and evaluate their options.

It requires more than just an evaluation of insurance plan choices, but also understanding the impact in the market place, whether or not to purchase in the exchange, the tax consequences and even how much insurance is enough. “I can help people navigate this better,â€?

community,” Pratt said. “You are the foundation and collectively comprise an essential resource on whom people like myself — elected officials, mayors, educators, faithbased servants and agency heads — rely in our daily ministry to the care and uplifting of children.” “One would think that with all that we are gathered here to celebrate, that our community would not now be experiencing the senseless acts of violence that have plagued us so far,” he said. He said Allen County had experienced 16 homicides in the first four months of 2013. He said young people are disproportionately represented in the statistics. “Beyond the primary victim and the perpetrator, there are those who are also harmed but are left forgotten in the shadows,” Pratt said. “They include the children of the victims and the children of the perpetrators. In a broader sense, a much broader sense, our total community’s children, especially those living in the areas where much of this violence has been focused, are also victimized. Many, I am sure, suffer fear and anxiety from the horrific violence that is occurring in the neighborhoods where they play and where they live,
the very neighborhoods that it’s our responsibility as adults to ensure are kept safe. “This violence steals from our children a component that research tells us is necessary for their healthy development. We know that for children to grow into healthy and productive adults they must develop the ability to rebound, they must have the ability to overcome adversity, and they must see in themselves the worth that drives them forward. For a child to develop this essential quality, this resilience, it requires that each child be provided secure placement in the presence of a protective and positive adult. They need to be given the opportunity to develop a sense of spirituality, that is to have belief in someone greater than us who is in control. And finally they must have a safe haven, a place where they can go away from the effects of violence, and a place where they can find acceptance.” Pratt said he did not pretend to have all the solutions to drugs and gangs, but he wanted to raise a flag of awareness. He warned that the condemnation of violence must not be lost in arguments about any specific form of violence. Fort Wayne experienced

a similar threat in 1996, he said, which saw 33 homicides recorded by the middle of fall. “Groups came together to discuss ideas to break down the silos that existed between the agencies and to pray,” he said. The age of fingerpointing has given way to a unity of purpose, he said. “There was a time that discussions only resulted in further division. Today, diverse groups are gathering together to discuss with total transparency various options for reversing the violence,” he said.

TEACHER from Page A1 Brown said Shappell stepped forward to take extra courses so he could teach dual credit classes, which allow students to earn both high school credit and college credit in fields such as chemistry. “In order to prepare kids for the future, teachers also have to do things themselves to make that possible, and he was willing to do that and prepare himself on behalf of our school,� Brown said. As the chair of the science department, Shappell consults with and advises Brown, and then implements strategies within the department. “So he’s well respected by administrators and his peers,� Brown said. The principal said Shappell supports the school’s Project Lead the Way. “That’s an initiative throughout the country where they’re trying to get kids more involved in technology,� Brown said. “If you ever go into one of his classes, the kids really enjoy it and they wouldn’t miss it for the world,� Brown said. “So he deserves to be teacher of the year for our school district.� “He’s down in Indianapolis as I speak,� Brown said. “He’s getting some equipment from Eli Lilly. They donate from their surplus. He volunteered to go down and take care of that. Nobody asked him. He just stepped forward and said ‘I want to get some equipment for our school,’ and he does that every year.� Shappell had to make the Indy run quickly, because he was scheduled to coach the varsity girls softball team

Cedarville Elementary School teacher Lara Marino accepts congratulations from East Allen County School Board member the Rev. Stephen Terry at the May 7 school board meeting. on the road at Bluffton, at 5 p.m. “He takes the initiative,� Brown said. “He’s a part of the community. He coaches softball, and has a great relationship with our students. He’s a complete educator. He’s what we call a master teacher — someone who’s so good in their profession that they can teach others how to duplicate the process.� Such recognitions help to honor all teachers, said Brown, who has been a principal for 18 years. “It’s important because Mr. Shappell represents the teachers at Leo,� Brown said. “We have many good teachers at this high school and middle school. He’s a representative or a sample of teachers at Leo. I could easily be talking to you about another teacher. Teachers need to be recognized for being
outstanding.â€? “If the students understand what they are doing and are good at what they are doing, you credit the teacher for that,â€? Brown said. Paul Harding Junior High School Principal Teresa Gremaux shared similar thoughts about her school’s nominee, and about the process. Audrey Wright is an RTI (Response to Intervention) specialist, who tracks student data, looks at test scores, and finds ways to help students move forward. “(Teacher honors) ‌ are so important because our staff needs to know that people recognize the hard work that they do,â€? Gremaux said. “And Audrey is no exception to that. It just makes for great working relationships among administrators and staff.â€?
“If the students understand what they are doing and are good at what they are doing, you credit the teacher for that.� — Leo Jr./Sr. High School Principal Neal Brown III

tions,� King said in an email. “The singers must love to sing and be able to match pitch. One of the reasons the choir was started was because there are people in the area who love to sing but are intimidated by the audition process required by some other choirs.� The Summit City Singers do a spring program and a winter program. Rehearsals are held from SeptemberNovember and then several concerts are done throughout the area in late November and early December. The same format is repeated with rehearsals from February to May and concerts in May and early June.

Allen County SPCA seeks Almost Famous youth talent to perform homes for more pets By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
The Allen County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals works to find new homes for dogs and cats. The public is invited to visit the shelter at 4914 Hanna St. to find out more about Daffy prospective pets. Adoption fees include spay or neuter costs, certain vaccinations and a registered microchip. For pet photos, and for details about costs and policies, call 7440454 or visit acspca.org. Call the shelter to confirm that these pets are still available. The SPCA said 94 of the shelter’s cats and dogs found homes in April, compared with 54 during April of 2012. The SPCA called special attention to two pets awaiting homes. Daffy is a 2-month-old spayed female, tan and white hound-terrier mix. She was transferred from the Kokomo Humane Society to the Allen County SPCA. She is
The Mayor’s Youth Engagement Council will recruit talent from many Fort Wayne high schools for the Fort Wayne’s Almost Famous talent show, from 7-10 p.m. Saturday, May 25. The venue is the 900 block of Calhoun Street. “I like how Fort Wayne is trying to become more of a community and make all different parts come together as one,” said Homestead senior Hanita Epstein. The event is the group’s second in less than a month, according to Epstein, who is this year’s president of the youth council. In an email, she wrote, “Our main goal is to try and bring the youth of Fort Wayne downtown
described as energetic and happy. The staff said Daffy would do well with her housebreaking but will need an adjustment period at her new home. The staff recommends that the new owner crate train Ringo Daffy during this transition. The pet will need daily exercise, and frequent brushing to keep her coat in good shape. The staff feels Daffy would do well with children of any age as long as they treat her well. She got along well with other dogs and didn’t seem to mind the cat during her assessment. Ringo is a one and a half years old, a neutered male, black and white, domestic longhair cat. The staff feels he would do well with children who know how to treat him nicely, with other cats, and even with cat-friendly dogs who know when to give him space. He will need frequent brushing to keep his coat mat-free.
and engage them in activities that benefit the community.” In April, the teens organized an art show that showcased many talented artists, Epstein wrote. The venue was the Rialto Theater. In an interview, Epstein said the show will draw talented singers and dancers from across the city, most of whom usually perform at high school or at a coffee shop. “But here you are on a stage performing in front of not only your friends and family, but also the city,” she said. This year marks the third talent show. For photos of past events, visit the Fort Wayne’s Almost Famous page on Facebook. The group directs any income to support a recla-
mation project, the Rialto Theater, 2614 S. Calhoun St. Epstein said the art show gave the youth council a chance to observe the theater restoration in progress and to see the blueprints. “They’re turning that spot into a mixing of all the cultures, so a lot of the youth will be going there,” Epstein said. “Our main goal was to engage the youth in whatever we do, and ultimately we’re making the Rialto our own.” “So we’re talking with people that you might not otherwise meet,” she said. “It’s interesting to see how everyone from all the communities can come together and how everyone works together because they’re all focused on one goal.”
GRADUATES from Page A1 The question of notification was raised by Woodlan Elementary parent Amanda Miller, who said parents recently waited for a bus that had been delayed. She said that was the third instance in which a bus was 40 minutes late, and parents were not notified. “We have no idea where our children are,” Miller said. Deal said that as a former principal he appreciates the need to be pro-active about notification and to communicate that reassurance. Deal said the transition to the new notification system has begun. He said the money for the change was part of this year’s budget. He said he could not project the effective date for the replacement system.

State event is next for East Allen’s top teacher East Allen County Schools’ top teacher, Benjamin Shappell, now advances to the state competition. An Indiana Department of Education committee comprising past Teacher of the Year honorees, external community and education leaders and IDOE personnel will select the state’s top teacher, after interviewing and visiting the classrooms of the 10 finalists. The Indiana Teacher of the Year Program is sponsored by the IDOE, the Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning, and CSO Architects. The National Teacher of the Year Program, sponsored by Target, is a project of the Council of Chief State School Officers in partnership with the ING Foundation, the University of Phoenix and People to People Ambassador Programs. Shappell was named the top teacher at Leo Jr./Sr. High School, the district’s top secondary school teacher, and finally the district’s top teacher. Renita Peters of Leo Elementary was selected as the district’s elementary teacher of the year. In all, 17 teachers were selected to represent their schools in the East Allen competition. Tamyra Kelly, the public relations liaison for the East Allen County Schools, explained that each school chooses a candidate for the district competition. Each nominee must be a licensed semi-permanent or permanent member of the teachers’ bargaining unit with at least six years’ teaching experience, at least three years of which must be in the school district. A nominee must be an exemplary, dedicated teacher, active in the teaching profession and in the community. Teachers and administrators may make nominations. East Allen County Schools Teacher of the Year honorees are listed by attendance area. Quotations and text are provided by the school district, at eacs.k12.in.us. Austin Will, Heritage Elementary School, Heritage Attendance Area — “I take pleasure in seeing how former students have grown and developed into successful Will middle school and high school students.� Mr. Will is a sixth-grade teacher and
has been teaching for six years with EACS. Andra Kosmoski, Heritage Jr./Sr. High School, Heritage Attendance Area — “ I believe that one important teaching tool is humor. I use humor to forge relationships with Kosmoski students, to diffuse difficult situations; and I use humor to help students remember concepts being taught!â€? Ms. Kosmoski teaches junior high language arts, math and science. She has been teaching for 19 years, seven with EACS. Lara Marino, Cedarville Elementary School, Leo Attendance Area — “My favorite teaching moment came when a little boy in my classroom shared with the class. This sounds Marino quite minor, but was a huge accomplishment for him. He had never talked in school ‌ ever. Not in two years of preschool or kindergarten. With some encouragement he had been whispering to me for about two weeks and so I asked him to think of something over a weekend that he could share with the class at a sharing time on the following Monday. I asked him Monday morning if he was ready, and he gave me the all too familiar head nod. It came time for his turn to share and when I announced that he had something to share, the class looked at him and me doubtingly. He opened his mouth, swallowed hard and actually spoke out loud. Many mouths gaped open in
shock. The students had never heard his voice before. And what a sweet sound that was for this teacher! He has been willingly sharing and volunteering and growing in confidence ever since. I am so glad I got to share in this moment with him.� Ms. Marino is a first-grade teacher and has been with EACS for 19 years. Renita Peters, Leo Elementary School, Leo Attendance Area — “We do a lot of kinesthetic movements to remember formulas, parts of writing genres, and reading Peters concepts. It’s fun to watch my students on assessment days do the motions on their own, at their seats, while taking a test. Someone from the outside might look in and wonder what is actually taking place in the classroom, but I know they’re getting their bodies moving to get their brains going.� Ms. Peters is a sixth-grade teacher and has been with EACS for 12 years. Benjamin Shappell, Leo Jr./Sr. High School, Leo Attendance Area — “My Shappell favorite teaching moment is when students come back from college and tell how easy their college classes are because of what they learned in my classes.� Mr. Shappell is a science teacher and has been with EACS for 10 years. Amy Yoder, Highland Terrace Elementary School, New Haven Attendance Area — “My favorite teaching moment: It always gives
me so much joy to read my students’ stories at the end of the school Yoder year. They grow so much as a writer between the beginning and end of first grade! My students are always so excited to share what they have written! I absolutely love that!� Ms. Yoder is a first-grade teacher and has been with EACS for 11 years. Missy Czaja, Meadowbrook Elementary School, New Czaja Haven Attendance Area — “I love my job and I love seeing students get excited about making art and taking pride in their work.� Ms. Czaja has been teaching art for nine years. Darryl Springer, New Haven Middle School, New Haven Attendance Area — “My Springer favorite teaching moment is every Pi-Day. During the class celebration of Pi, we do a lesson on the origin of Pi and what it actually means. Every year, I see the students’ eyes open as they gain that understanding.� Mr. Springer is a pre-algebra teacher and has been teaching 21 years with EACS. Steve Romary, New Haven High School, New Haven Attendance Area — Romary “Instead

of telling students what the mathematical relationships are, I lead them into an explanation and discovery exercise. My favorite teaching moment is when the students will come up with the exact relationship I was looking for without me saying another word!� Mr. Romary teaches mathematics and has been teaching 38 years with EACS. Molly Bernard, Southwick Elementary School, Paul Harding Attendance Area — Bernard “My favorite teaching moment is seeing students demonstrate the skill I teach them.� Ms. Bernard is a guidance counselor and has been with EACS for six years. Heather Sorg, Prince Chapman Academy, Paul Harding Attendance Area — “I love Sorg seeing students’ excitement when their reading levels, language levels and other scores
increase.� Ms. Sorg is a fifth-and-sixth-grade, English as a second language, sheltered classroom teacher. She has been teaching six years. Audrey Wright, Paul Harding Jr. High School, Paul Harding Attendance Area — Wright “My favorite teaching moment has been reconnecting with the students that I taught many years ago in pre-K and elementary, now at the middle school level. It is such an honor to know that I made an impact in their educational lives as such young children and it is exciting to see the incredible young adults so many of them have become.� Ms. Wright is an RTI (Response to Intervention) specialist and has been with EACS for 14 years.

who had given up on school and I was able to help him see the value in his education; that’s my favorite teaching moment.” Mr. Welch has been teaching special education for nine years, four years with EACS. Tina Antrim, East Allen University, Paul Harding Attendance Area — “I love when students tell me they want Antrim to be a counselor because they want to help people like I helped them. Making a difference in students’ lives is what it’s all about!” Ms. Antrim is the guidance counselor and has been with EACS for 18 years. Nicole Sauder, Woodlan Primary School — “Watching kindergartners grow and learn from the beginning of the year to the end Sauder is my favorite teaching moment. Most come in not knowing how to read or write, add or subtract, and by the end they are doing these things independently and
their excitement is infectious. I love that I get to be a ‘big kid’ every day!” Ms. Sauder has been teaching kindergarten for 11 years. Staci Salzbrenner, Woodlan Intermediate School — “My favorite teaching moment is from my early days as a kindergarten teacher at Woodburn Elementary. For science, I Salzbrenner decided that each of my students was going to raise a tadpole. I carefully picked out 22 tadpoles at the pet store, put them in their own individual Ball jars, created journals, and then watched as brighteyed 5-year-olds oohed and giggled at their new science projects. The students took such great care of the tadpoles for six weeks, observing, measuring, drawing sketches of them, etc. Then, spring break happened! When I went to check on their projects, two tadpoles were floating. ... I knew I had to replace their pets. On Monday, the students were anxious to see their tadpoles. My special education student, who had spoken very few words all year, walked
right up to her Ball jar and exclaimed, “That is not Princess … she used to have spots!” ... I knew that ‘raising’ Princess had been a very meaningful learning experience for that child and for all of my students.” Ms. Salzbrenner has been teaching fifth grade for 17 years. Lori Fendel, Woodlan Jr./Sr. High School — “My favorite teaching moment was when I had a parent contact me about her daughter. The Fendel mother works at a local college and had been discussing with her boss about how much the adult students hated math. Many of the college students had told her that their hatred of math had begun in junior high. She told her boss how lucky she was because her daughter loved math, even though she was not a really strong math student. This parent thanked me for giving her junior high daughter the confidence that was lacking in her adult students at the college.” Ms. Fendel teaches junior high math and has been teaching 23 years, 15 of those years with EACS.
Leo takes two first-place honors at state’s Academic Super Bowl By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
Leo Jr./Sr. High School teams won their divisions in two rounds of the 2013 Indiana Academic Super Bowl, held May 4 at Loeb Playhouse at Purdue University in West Lafayette. Leo teams competed in Class 2, which is the second-largest of four enrollment divisions. Leo scholars took first in fine arts and social studies, and third in English. Bishop Dwenger High School teams also competed in Class 2, and won second place in English and third place in math, and also earned a top-six state berth in science. Bishop Luers High School teams competed in the smaller Class 3, and won second place in English, second place in social studies and third place in science. “We’ve got a trophy case here full of Academic Super Bowl championships. We’re very proud of our kids,” said Leo’s principal, Neal Brown III. “We have a long, long tradition of winning state championships.” The theme of the state event was “The Glory
That Was Greece.” Teams answered 25 questions in each category, and the team with the most correct answers was the champion. A question would come up on a screen, the team would have 20 seconds to answer, and the question would be scored. Teams compete in the five subject matter rounds — English, science, social studies, mathematics, and fine arts — and in a sixth, interdisciplinary round in which questions might come from any of the subject matter rounds, sometimes requiring knowledge of at least two subject areas Molly Baumert coached Leo’s social studies team, which included Kaylyn O’Dell, Justin Stuckey and Brandon Werling, captain. Mary Hoff coached the fine arts team, which included Jordan Schoonover, Paige Dempsey and Becca Williams, captain. Anne Longtine coached the English team, which included Becca Williams, Paige Dempsey, Kristy Rapes, Sydney Day and Jordan Schoonover, captain. Baumert said the same three students won the state competition last
year. “We start practicing in about October and they have some practice meets in March, and we have our area competition, which is actually at Leo,” said Baumert, who is in her second year at Leo. Hoff said her fine arts team has won three out of the past four years. “I’m pretty excited about that,” she said. She said the competition can be intense. “You’re kind of biting your nails at the end,” she said. In an email, Longtine said, “The coaches receive the curriculum in early fall and get the study materials to their team members and begin the study sessions. In other words, our season stretches from early fall to the first Saturday in May.” “Just like sports, it is separate, over and above the regular curriculum,” Longtine said. “The team practices and study sessions take place outside of regular school hours.” Each student will receive a certificate for their work. The school also provides championship rings. “It is very rewarding to work with kids who love to learn,” said Hoff. “And yes they’re competing, but they love to learn.”

‘Brilliant Optics’ a feast for the eyes at art museum The Fort Wayne Museum of Art has unveiled its most recent curator collaboration, with “Brilliant Optics: A Spectrum of Mediums and Color,” curated by Fort Wayne artist Josef Zimmerman. The exhibition features work by contemporary artists from across the country who use color in their work as a tool to communicate with the viewer. “Brilliant Optics” will be on display at FWMoA, 313 E. Main St., through July 14. In a news release, the museum said, “In short, vibrancy is the key to this show.” “This exhibit revolves around a single word — color — a simple word but a complex theme,” the news release said. “This concept was the guiding force for Zimmerman’s

“Reconfigured Grid” is by Deff Depner, who lives and works in Vancouver, Canada. curatorial journey throughout the United States to find the most adventurous use of color by today’s artists. What he found in the best work was that great use of color transcended mediums, and that subject matter and genre wouldn’t be the things unifying the work.” Artists from four states, Australia, and Canada use acrylic, oil, screen-
printing, aerosol, photography and ink to demonstrate Zimmerman’s vision of color. The artists represented are Kristin Cammermeyer, Jeff Depner, Daniel Dienelt, Kay Gregg, Justin Miller, Michael Porten, Britt Spencer, Alex Ziv and the art duo Dabs Myla. “Color has the power to seduce us and the power to repulse us,” Zimmerman said. “What we know is that color can be a powerful symbol that plays a critical role in our visual world. Color makes us love things we see or it can do the opposite. Like an upbeat song with heartbreaking lyrics, bright, bold color can dramatically alter how we perceive the subject matter of artwork.” Beginning with art classes in 1888 given by J. Ottis Adams and later
William Forsyth, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art has evolved into a center for the visual arts community in northeast Indiana. Regularly exhibiting regional and nationally acclaimed artists, the FWMoA also boasts a permanent collection of American Art in addition to prints and drawings from artists such as Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol. The news release explained, “The museum is committed to the collection, preservation, presentation and interpretation of American and related art to engage broad and diverse audiences throughout the community and region, and add value to their lives.” The Fort Wayne Museum of Art is a funded partner of Arts United of Greater Fort Wayne.
