New Haven gears up for Canal Days

Area Kiwanis clubs focus on threats to a generation

By Garth Snow

gsnow@kpcnews.net

Beth Stauffer has been a Canal Days regular each of the 10 years or so she has lived in New Haven. Her husband, Jon Stauffer, is the president of the committee that puts on the annual celebration. The festival returns June 4-8, filling Schnelker Park and a section of Broadway Street, and overflowing into the community. This year, however, Beth Stauffer will see the festival from a different vantage point. “My son is now in school, so I have a little bit more time to contribute,” said Stauffer, who serves as chairperson of the entertainment stage and also writes publicity for the festival guide. Organizers made a late addition to the Friday schedule. Jeff McDonald of Sweetwater Sound will take the stage right before Spike and the Bulldogs, presenting his acoustic style folk music. All events are free.

A photo of Lucy Workman and Nolan Reuille was chosen for the flier and website to publicize the 2013 New Haven Canal Days. The two were photographed on a ride at the 2012 festival. This year’s theme is “Faith & Family,” Stauffer said. “This year we’re putting an emphasis on faith because the churches in our community are so vital,” she said. Although entertainment is free, the festival has added an optional VIP seating area this year. For $10, spectators may set up their own lawn chair in a sectioned-off area near the stage. Only a limited

number of VIP bracelets are available, Stauffer said. Those are on sale at the New Haven-Adams Township Parks and Recreation office, 1125 Hartzell St. Beth Hartzell has come to know the city and festival well. Before her husband became president of the committee, he worked with the Boy Scouts, who volunteered at the festival. 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. “A lot of people come back home and they know the first weekend of June is going to be festival and so people come back for the parade and the midway,” Stauffer said. “It’s a real family event. There’s something for everyone.”

Groups such as the Kiwanis are part of “the unheralded army that will continue to make the lives of children better,” Allen Superior Court Judge Charles Pratt said. The founder of Great Kids Make Great Communities addressed five Allen County Kiwanis clubs, who held their first joint banquet April 30 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 May 16 to “Intergenerational Program Building,” featuring Andrea Taylor, the director of Temple University’s Intergenerational Center. The program will be held at the Allen County Public Library, Room A, 900 Library Plaza. The morning session will be from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The program will be repeated from 14:30 p.m. A separate program on May 21 and 23 is designed for churches and other faith-based organizations. The Rev. Dan Fugate, an associate pastor of Trinity English Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, will present “Pass It On: The Power of Intergenerational Relationships in Faith Formation.” The May 21 program will be held from 1-4 p.m. at the Omni Room, Citizens Square Building, 200 E. Berry St. Or, participants may attend a program See FOCUS, Page A6

Diva Dash at Georgetown is rally against osteoporosis The Diva Dash is the perfect race for a beginning runner, according to Maureen Partee. The third annual race kicks off at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 15, from Georgetown Square. Partee works in the leasing and promotions office at Georgetown Square. “We’re the host and the title sponsor,” Partee said. Another company sponsored the race the first two years. Race director Sharon Christian is with another company this year, but will direct the race again. Christian is “the driving force behind the run,” Partee said. The 5k run/walk is a fundraiser for the National Osteopororis Foundation. The course has no hills and has plenty of shade, Partee said. “It’s really become the race known as for first-time racers and novices,” she said. “A lot of people walk it, also,” she said. The Fort Wayne Track Club will keep the official times. “It’s grown each year,” Partee said. “We think we’re going to get up to 400 this year.” She said the 5k is the only all-women’s race in Fort Wayne. Last year, 361 divas raised about $5,000

for the NOF. Registration forms are available at Healthkick Nutrition Center, 6344 E. State Blvd., and at Three Rivers Running Co., 4039 N. Clinton St., and at other local businesses. Steve Devine, the store manager at Healthkick, said 150 runners had registered there as of May 1. Entry forms can be mailed to Race Director: Attn: Sharon Christian, 6426 Georgetown Lane, Fort Wayne IN 46815, and must be postmarked by June 5. Registration is $20 through May 31, and then $25 through race day. Race day registration and packet pickup will be from 6:15 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. June 15 at Healthkick. Everyone who registers in advance will receive a T-shirt, as will the first 200 participants. For more information about osteoporosis, visit nof.org. In a news release, sponsors said, “The Diva Dish is a wonderful opportunity for a sisterhood of women and girls of all ages to get together, put on their walking/running shoes for the dash to prevent this debilitating disease.” The NOF said one in two women 50 or older will suffer a broken bone as a result of osteoporosis, now causing an estimated two million fractures each year.

‘Brilliant Optics’ a feast for the eyes at art museum The Fort Wayne Museum of Art unveils its most recent curator collaboration on May 11 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. The show will make its public debut at 6:30 p.m. at the museum, 313 E. Main St. Zimmerman will lead a panel discussion of selected artists in the show. A party with cash bar and food by Calhoun Street Soups, Salads, and Spirits will follow. Admission is $5, and free for

FWMoA members. “Brilliant Optics” will be on display at FWMoA from May 11 – 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 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, screenprinting, 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

Downtown parking fees, fines increase Fort Wayne’s downtown metered parking rate has increased from 25 cents an hour to 50 cents an hour. A new fine schedule for parking citations citywide also has taken effect. The almost 700 parking meters were reprogrammed to reflect the new rates. At 50 cents an hour, Fort Wayne’s parking rate remains lower than other similar-sized cities, such as Toledo, Cleveland, Grand Rapids and Lansing. The fine for parking over the time limit at a metered space increased from $5 to $10, with the fine increasing to $20 if the ticket is not paid within 30 days. Fines for parking in loading zones or in no-parking certain hours zones went from $10 to $20, with the fine increasing to $40 after 30 days. The fine for illegally parking in a fire lane, in a handicapped space or having an operable vehicle parked in a yard went from $50 to $100, increasing to $150 after 30 days.

This year’s winner of the Yom HaShoah Essay Contest, sponsored by the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation, is Homestead High School senior Ryan Boylan. Boylan was recognized during a program at Temple Achduth Vesholom, 5200 Old Mill Road. The “We Must Remember” essay contest is held in conjunction with the National Day of Holocaust Remembrance. Boylan chose the theme “We Must Do More Than Remember.” He opened his essay with a quotation from George Santayana, “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” “And for a long time that quote has struck me as wrong,” Boylan said. “It seemed like there has to be more than just remembering. Maybe it’s not so much that we dwell on our past as that we should look toward the future and co-exist, rather than focus on our own race or interest groups.” Boylan said he received many compliments on the essay, which he said began as an extra-credit

Doris Fogel, a Holocaust survivor and the executive director of the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation, served as chair of the Night of Remembrance. Connie Christophersen is one of Boylan’s instructors at Homestead, where she teaches advanced placement language and composition. She said she looks for opportunities for her students to write for a real

audience instead of just write for a teacher. Christophersen attended the Night of Remembrance. “It’s quite a moving service,” she said. She said Boylan’s essay was extremely well written and reflected his knowledge of history and his awareness of current events. “We also have a very strong social studies department,” she said. Ethan Zweig of Summit Middle School was selected the middle school-level winner.

He said

A1 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.” He said violence also causes fear and anxiety. “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.” 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.

Summit City Singers to deliver patriotic theme The Summit City Singers will present music with a patriotic theme at three local venues in May and June. The community choir draws 40-55 singers from throughout the area, including Fort Wayne, Roanoke, Grabill, Columbia City, New Haven and Huntertown. The choir was founded in 2006. Director Judy King said the choir sings four-part SATB music — music written in soprano, alto, tenor and bass — for men and women. “There are no auditions,” 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.” Rehearsals are held at Shawnee Middle School on Cook Road. The Summit City Singers offer 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

King, the director, was a church choir director in area churches and also taught drama at Canterbury School. Barbara Krick accompanies the choir. Krick has been a church organist for many years, gives private lessons and accompanies Northwest Allen County Schools groups. Rehearsals also are a training opportunity for

While the choir practices their songs, Roxie practices behaving in public places,” King wrote. “She is doing great and we will miss her when she moves on to be assigned as a service dog to some lucky person.” This season’s program — “Music of America” — includes “Civil War Medley,” “This Land is Your Land,” “Fifty Nifty United States,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Stars and Stripes Forever,” an Irving Berlin medley, and other selections. King described the program as “patriotic numbers mixed with folk tunes, spirituals and other types of music associated with our great country.” Anyone interested in auditioning for next season’s choir may contact King at (260) 4894505.

walking path between the plots.” “It’s free,” Cochran said. “We’ve never filled the garden up. Last year was our biggest and we had only half. We’d love to have all 21 spaces filled.” “Pastor Jill (Wright) and I were at a conference down in Indianapolis, and one of the churches at the

conference mentioned that they had a community garden,” Cochran said. “So when I got home I did a little research on community gardens, and I thought ‘We’ve got 15 acres of ground and 10 acres is just sitting there, so let’s do something with it.’ ” “The first summer it was clear back at the

cemetery, and we had it there two years, and it was just too far away from the water source and too far away from parking,” Cochran said. In the third year, the garden was moved nearer to the church. “We’ve got a water spigot there on the side of the church and we’ve got enough hose to almost reach the garden, not quite,” Cochran said. Garden spaces are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to returning gardeners. Cochran said he began contacting the established gardeners in February. He said the garden was in question this year. “We are at the start of a building project and the building project will consume our garden area, so we weren’t sure if we were going to turn dirt this spring,” Cochran said. “As it turns out, we’re not.” Eventually the building expansion will overtake the present garden area, and the garden will be moved. The garden project likely will be suspended during the construction, he said. “We have a little set of rules that people have to abide by, and that’s that they don’t plant anything See GARDENS, Page A9

Robinson Chapel United Methodist Church at the corner of Tonkel and Union Chapel roads offers garden plots, free of charge to members and to the public.

GARDENS from Page illegal,” Cochran said. “And we ask that they don’t plant any perennials because they may not get the same plot next year. And if they’re going to plant tall crops, like corn, they need to keep it near the center of the plot so they don’t cast shadows on their neighbors.” Sprawling, vine crops such as watermelons or cucumbers are planted outside the garden sections, in an unfenced, low-lying area. Gardeners need to pay special attention to those crops, remove the weeds, and ensure that the plants are prominent so the vines are not mowed. “Most of the people plant tomatoes and peppers,” Cochran said. Gardeners will include residents of adjacent communities where gardens are not permitted. Some people simply walk to their garden areas. Participants have included a woman from an assisted living facility. Most are experienced gardeners. “The garden actually opens up May 11,” Cochran said. “We have an all-church spring work day where we come in

and get the church ready for summer — a spring cleanup day, fix-up day — and that’s the day we say ‘The garden is now open, you can come in and start your garden.’ And then in the fall we have a fall day where we get the church ready for winter, and that’s the close of the garden, the second Saturday in October.” “People in our neighborhood know us for our pumpkins in the fall, from an Indian reservation in New Mexico that we kind of support, and we sell out every year,” Cochran said. “We get a semi load of pumpkins. We fill those bleachers up with pumpkins and put pallets out. All the money goes to missions, both local and national.” Cochran is a church trustee. He and his wife, Linda, have been Robinson Chapel members for almost 40 years. He said guests also are welcome Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. “We’re a very loving church,” he said, “and we would like people to come in and visit us.”

Ready to expand Robinson Chapel United Methodist Church, 12707 Tonkel Road, Fort Wayne The church is planning a three-stage building project. Tom Cochran, who is a church trustee and the finance committee auditor, said the church has raised about $150,000 toward the $450,000 needed to launch the project. He said that amount will allow the church to obtain a mortgage for the first phase, which will cost $700,000. He said the church was built about 160 years ago, and the last expansion was in 1958. “Our ministries have outgrown the facility,” he said. An architect has been signed, and preliminary drawings are in place. The first phase will improve handicapped access compliance and will create a multipurpose room and more restrooms. The second phase will upgrade the current sanctuary. The third phase will create a new gymnasium. Building will take place to the north and the west of the existing building. Cochran said the church is about 160 years old. The original part of the existing church stood closer to the corner of Union Chapel Road and faced Tonkel Road, which once was Indiana 427. When that road was widened, the building was moved to the north and west. “Our ministries have outgrown the facility,” Cochran said. “We have a pie auction in the spring and you can’t hear the auctioneer and you can’t see the pies. And we have very limited seating capacity and handicapped accessibility in our lower level, and it just needs to be brought up to date.”

Healthy Times Pediatric emergency room planned By Rick Farrant rfarrant@fwbusiness.com

Lutheran Childrenâ€™s Hospital has announced a $2.4-million, 7,108square-foot pediatric emergency care unit adjacent to Lutheran Hospitalâ€™s main emergency department in southwest Fort Wayne. Lutheran officials said the seven-room pediatric emergency care department, which will be in an area now used occasionally for patient care, is projected to open in October. Dr. Susan Frayer, currently employed with Elkhart Emergency Physicians, will be medical director of Lutheran Childrenâ€™s Hospitalâ€™s pediatric emergency services, effective July 1. Frayer said a separate pediatric emergency department offers a number of advantages, including enhancing the opportunity to provide the specialized care young patients often need and shielding them from the sometimes unpleasant atmosphere of an adult emergency department. â€œPediatric emergency

The Lutheran Childrenâ€™s Hospital pediatric emergency department is specifically for younger patients. departments and adult emergency departments are different because the patients have different disease processes, they have different needs,â€? Frayer said. (The staff in pediatric emergency departments) are trained in recognizing special pediatric conditions that maybe adults donâ€™t have. Or if they do have, they present differently. â€œIn an adult emergency department, youâ€™re also exposed to adult issues,â€? she said. â€œThere are sights and sounds that most parents would not want

their child to experience. There may be people who are intoxicated. There may be people who are having psychiatric issues.â€? The regionâ€™s other large health-care provider, Parkview Health, also has focused on specialized pediatric emergency care, but has chosen a different operating model. Last October, officials said, five of 40 rooms in the emergency department at Parkview Regional Medical Center were dedicated to pediatric care. Dr. Abby Massey, an emergency medicine and

pediatric physician who oversees emergency pediatric care at the medical center, said Parkview felt that containing the pediatric units within the main emergency department would provide better access to all services, staff and equipment. In the Parkview model, Dr. Thomas Gutwein, medical director of the medical centerâ€™s emergency department, said pediatric patients enter the emergency department through a separate hallway and all five rooms have doors that can be closed.

Development Alliance, Fort Wayne Chamber merge By Rick Farrant rfarrant@fwbusiness.com

Community leaders say the consolidation of the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce and the Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance will create a one-vision, onevoice approach that will enhance economic stability and development. â€œThe missions of the alliance and the chamber

are not the same, but they are very well-aligned,â€? said Scott Glaze, the chairman and CEO of Fort Wayne Metals and a member of the consolidated organizationâ€™s board. â€œWe believe with common leadership, with common purpose, we will continue to be able to make our community stronger.â€? The new entity is called Greater Fort Wayne Inc. and creates a combined

work force of 26. Twenty-one people, many of whom have served on the boards of the two organizations and the Downtown Improvement District, now comprise the Greater Fort Wayne board. Mike Packnett, the president and CEO of Parkview Health and the chair of the new board, said board membership eventually might be increased to as many as 36

Pat Sullivan, a Greater Fort Wayne board member and the executive vice president of Hylant Group Inc. in Fort Wayne, said the search for a location has been narrowed to two sites. The alliance is now at 111 W. Main St. in downtown Fort Wayne. The chamber must move from its 826 Ewing St. building, which was sold last year to the University of Saint Francis. The CEO search is expected to take about 90 days, Packnett said April 9. Until then, alliance Interim President Mick McCollum and chamber President Mike Landrum will oversee the organization, with help from Greater Fort Wayne Vice Chair Ron Turpin.

IPFW professor to explore sustainable engineering IPFW Associate Professor of Engineering Don Mueller is one of 30 educators from across the country to attend the Center for Sustainable Engineering’s workshop this June. The workshop takes place June 27-28 at Georgia Institute of Technology (better known as Georgia Tech) in Atlanta. Each participant is selected through a competitive application process and must be employed full time as a faculty member in an engineering department at a four-year college or university with an undergraduate engineering program. Mueller said he is excited to attend the conference. “As an engineering educator, this workshop will give me the tools to bring more sustainable engineering concepts into my classes. With populations continuing to grow and resources becoming more scarce, sustainable engineering principles will help us make decisions that not only preserve the resources we have, but to find new and better ways in which to use them,” Mueller said. According to the CSE website, “The workshop will include a number of interactive and hands-on sessions conducted by leading faculty members in sustainable engineering. The sessions will address concepts in sustainable engineering, ways to incorporate these concepts into courses, discussions of sustainable engineering education at schools across the country, federal programs for research and education funding in sustainable engineering, and building a community of educators in this emerging topic.”

Franciscan Center plans thrift store along Coliseum By Rick Farrant rfarrant@fwbusiness.com

The Franciscan Center Inc., a nearly 25-year-old nonprofit on Fort Wayne’s south side dedicated to helping the underserved, will soon open a thrift store along Coliseum Boulevard. Executive Director Tony Ley said the store, expected to open by midto late May, will have two purposes: providing clothing and household items at bargain prices and using the revenue to help maintain or perhaps expand the organization’s services during a time of burgeoning need coupled with a challenging fundraising climate. “My biggest thing is:

Tony Ley, the executive director of The Franciscan Center, hopes the organization’s new thrift store will help maintain or even expand the center’s services, including free health-care items. With this project, your donations give twice,” Ley, 37, said. “They give in the form of a bargain and they give in the form of food and medicine items to be given for free by The Franciscan Center.” The Franciscan Center Family Thrift will be at 925 E. Coliseum Building in 10,000 square feet formerly occupied by a Goodwill Industries of Northeast Indiana outlet that moved to Glenbrook Commons. Ley said he hopes the thrift store can at least help maintain the organization’s roughly $340,000 annual budget, but he believes it’s possible revenue from the thrift store could amount to nearly twice that amount. All of the money, he said, will be used to serve people in need. “It is,” he said, “disingenuous for a nonprofit that serves people to hoard money. We might have a small rainy-day fund. Outside of that, what we can generate is what we can give.” The Franciscan Center, in a former convent on Gaywood Drive, was co-

founded in 1989 by Ley’s mother, Sally, who is CEO of the organization. Since its start, the center has offered a number of programs, including shelters for the homeless and serving as a drop-in center. Today, Ley said, it has three principle services: a food pantry that can be accessed by people throughout the region once a month; a health supply cabinet filled with such items as soaps, diapers and vitamins that can be accessed once a month; and a Saturday sack-lunch delivery program that serves 1,200 to 1,500 people a week. Some of the food and health items are donated, Ley said, but most of them must be purchased. Ley said the center renders services about 80,000 times each month. “We’re trying to keep a fairly streamlined budget around here, but it’s tough. And we saw that if this trend were to continue, we could be in a tight spot. So, we just took the initiative to say, ‘Here’s an opportunity for us to help ourselves — and help others while we’re doing it.’ ”

Celebrations honoring Miami Indians’ heritage continue through November The 2013 season of Miami Indian Heritage Days has begun at the Chief Richardville House, 5705 Bluffton Road, Fort Wayne. The Chief Richardville House was named a National Historic Landmark this past year, only one of two in Allen County and one of only 38 in the state of Indiana. Sponsored by The History Center, Miami Indian Heritage Days programs are held from 1-4 p.m. the first Saturday of the month, May through November, and feature

local artists, performers, and representatives from the Miami Indians and other Native American groups demonstrating aspects of their heritage for the public. Admission for each Saturday event is $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. History Center members and children ages 5 and under are admitted free. Admission also includes the opportunity to visit the Chief Richardville House. On May 4, Medicine Woman Drum demonstrated the importance of

drumming, singing and dancing in Miami society. On June 1, Sue Lester will display traditional Miami clothing research and fabrication. Andrew Knight, a new presenter at Miami Indian Heritage Days, will feature Miami weaponry on July 6. The Aug. 3 program by Katrina Mitten will feature Miami bead work. On Sept. 7, Dani Tippman will present Miami Harvest, on edible and usable plants and materials. M.I.A.M.I. (Miami Indian Alliance of Miami

Indians) will present programs on Oct. 5 about wikiami building and cattail matting. Miami Chief Jean Baptiste de Richardville built a trading empire in this area that made him the richest man in Indiana by the time of his death in 1841. His home, built in 1827, is one of the premier attractions in the historical society’s collection since

the restoration of the building’s exterior. Today his house is recognized as the oldest Native American dwelling in the Midwest and the first Greek Revival style house in northeast Indiana. Nov. 2-3 is Traders Days. Vendors, craftsmen and artists sell Native American fine art, gourd work, beading, carved wood pieces, corn husk

SPCA seeks homes for more pets 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 744-0454 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

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 Ringo train 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 neutered male, black and white, domestic longhair cat, one and a half years old. 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.

Fort Wayne senior writes top Profile in Courage essay The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced that Jamie Baer, a senior at Baer Homestead High School, has won the national John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Essay Contest for High School Students. Baer’s prizewinning essay tells the story of former New York state Sen. Roy McDonald, who, in June 2011, crossed party lines to vote in favor of legalizing

same-sex marriage in the state. Baer was honored on May 5 at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. She received a $10,000 award for her first-place essay. The national essay contest is sponsored by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and supported by John Hancock Financial. The Kennedy Foundation covered the costs for Baer and her parents to attend the ceremony. Homestead instructor Connie Christophersen

also will receive a $500 award to use toward a school project that encourages student leadership and civic engagement. Another Homestead senior also placed among the top 10 essayists. Victoria Barnard was awarded honorable mention for her essay on former U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana. The annual Profile in Courage Essay Contest invites high school students from across the nation to write an essay on an act of political courage by a U.S. elected

official. The contest is a companion program of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award, named for President Kennedy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “Profiles in Courage,” which recounts the stories of eight U.S. senators who risked their careers, incurring the wrath of constituents or powerful interest groups, by taking principled stands for unpopular positions. This year, 1,814 students submitted essays from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., along with U.S. citizens in Chile, Egypt, India and Taiwan. For more information on the Profile in Courage Essay Contest for High School Students and the Profile in Courage Award, visit www.jfklibrary.org. In her winning essay,

Baer describes how McDonald, a conservative Republican from Saratoga County, “shocked his constituents” when he voted for marriage equality. With a Republican majority in the state Senate, the decision to legalize gay marriage was uncertain until all votes were cast. McDonald, along with three other Republican senators, voted to support the law, making the New York Senate the first legislative body with a Republican majority to legalize samesex marriage. Baer explained how McDonald, serving in his first term as a New York state senator, faced dire consequences for his vote. Groups opposed to gay marriage organized a “backlash against McDonald and other

supporters of the Marriage Equality Act,” Baer wrote. She described how the group New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms erroneously asserted that McDonald and other New York senate Republicans received campaign donations from Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. Andrew Cuomo in return for their support of the Marriage Equality Act. Regardless of pressure from conservative groups, Baer recounts that the senator from Saratoga was not apologetic about his break with party values. Baer is the daughter of Bonnie and Jerome Baer. She is the valedictorian of her class of 545 students. Baer submitted her essay as a class assignment for her Advanced Placement English Language and Composition course.
