Band backers ‘go above and beyond’ By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Before the Homestead Spartan Alliance Band takes the ﬁeld, dozens of volunteers contribute on about 20 committees ranging from ﬁrst aid to fundraisers. Kim Brown is in her second year as band manager, which also is a volunteer position. “Our parents are wonderful. They’re happy to help,” Brown said. Lori Motz serves as guard manager, John Motz serves as pit crew chief, and Jill O’Leary serves as uniform manager. High school band parents also support the music boosters, an umbrella organization for all Southwest Allen County Schools music programs. That group operates seven concession stands at about 200 events in all seasons at Homestead High School and Summit and Woodside middle schools. “The parent organizations at our school are

essential to our programs,” said band director Steve Barber. “They are very supportive and there are a lot of hardworking parents that go above and beyond the cause to help out students and our programs, and we’re very proud of our programs here.” Brown said the music boosters provide about 15 percent of the band’s income. Band parents raise the larger share through events such as the annual car wash, band nights at area restaurants, scrip sales, the Audrey’s Cake Rolls sales, and sales of spirit wear. The Homestead Fall Festival of Bands, on Oct. 5, and the ISSMA Scholastic State Prelim and Open Contest on Oct. 12 also will add to the band boosters’ income. Another major fundraiser is the chicken-and-dumplings sale at the Johnny Appleseed Festival. This year’s two-day sale was very successful, Brown said.

Yager co-chairs state panel eyeing A-F school grading Southwest Allen County Schools Superintendent Steven Yager is serving as co-chair of a committee that will recommend changes to the Indiana schools review process. Indiana state Sen. David Long Yager appointed Yager to the A-F Review Panel, which Yager co-chairs along with Indiana Department of Education Superintendent Glenda Ritz. “It’s been quite interesting,” Yager said of recent meetings. “I’ve been very thrilled to have been a part of that, and I’m so impressed with the appointees on that panel.” The panel will report to

legislators on Nov. 1. “Our assignment is to give a recommendation for a clear and transparent A-F grading system for all school districts and schools in Indiana,” Yager said. He explained that Indiana schools serve many different age groups, such as kindergarten to grade two or kindergarten through grade nine. “There are 95 different configurations,” he said. “So we have to come up with some sort of a grading system that applies to everything that’s in the state, every type of configuration.” The school grades reflect school performance. The committee is tasked with establishing measures of performance. “We’re moving forward as quickly as we can,” Yager said. “We have a short window. We are to be done by Nov. 1.

Our internal goal is to be done by Oct. 28. We’re excited with where we’re going with this. It’s really too early to tell what the recommendation will be.” Long, of Fort Wayne, is the Indiana Senate president pro tempore. He made four appointments to the 17-member commission. Long also appointed: Melanie Park, a teacher at Riverview Middle School, Huntington County Community Schools, and 2012 Indiana Teacher of the Year; Steve Baker, principal, Bluffton High School; and Derek Redelman, Indiana Chamber of Commerce. “Each of these individuals brings an exceptional background that qualify them to assist the State Board of Education as they move forward with See STATE, Page A4

Top 10 teacher says everyone deserves to tell their story Homestead High School visual arts department chairwoman Sarah Shatto-Jones said she is interested in helping others to tell their stories. She found her own story in the news recently, when she was chosen as a Top 10 ﬁnalist for Indiana teacher of the year. Shatto-Jones was the Homestead High School teacher of the year for the past Shatto-Jones school year, and also the Southwest Allen County Schools’ nominee for the state award. She participated in the ﬁnal round of interviews on Sept. 13. “It’s incredible. It’s been very humbling,” she said. “It’s kind of

hard to be the center of attention of all this, and I’m overwhelmed with the response and the congratulations — that acknowledgement.” “Really, I come to school every day, I engage with kids, I talk about what I love,” she said. “It’s neat to be recognized for something that comes so naturally for me.” Park Ginder, who became Homestead’s principal this school year, said honor was deserved. “To see Sarah teach, you’re seeing emotional and intellectual commitment,” he said. “She loves loves her students and people in general, and it comes out in all she does.” Shatto-Jones said she was not among the three ﬁnalists for the state honor, which will be awarded at a banquet in Indianapolis.

STORY from Page A1 Everyone has a story, she said, and she sees it as her role to help them share their story, whether they plan careers in art or in unrelated ﬁelds. “We learn about them as individuals,” she said, “and it’s at that point that relationships are forged with students and they open themselves up to the possibilities.” “I’ve had several students who, like myself, never really considered themselves artists,” she said. “When I moved to high school and I was halfway through school, they stuck me in an art class. And a teacher

And I share that with kids.” “To discover their passions, wherever they may lie, by having an adult mentor them and coming along with them and say ‘It’s OK, be who you are and like what you like.’ Sometimes it’s art and sometimes it’s writing, and sometimes it’s math or science,” she said. She said Homestead’s four art teachers offer programs from art history to painting and drawing, to metal craft and ceramics, to ﬁlm. She was pleased to be

part of showcasing student artwork in more and different ways. The central ofﬁce works with the parents’ club to choose art from each of the schools in the district and have it framed professionally. The artwork is featured at the administration ofﬁce through the school year and then returned to the students. “That’s pretty awesome,” she said. Last school year, Homestead students earned honors in the nationwide Scholastic Art and Writing Competition, and were recognized in a ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York. The next competition will begin in January, with the results to be

announced in March and awards to be presented in May. Shatto-Jones serves as sponsor of the art club. She said many of the club’s approximately 30 students are not enrolled in a ﬁne arts class. Shatto-Jones also is a co-founder and co-sponsor of The Network, which she described as students and teachers working together to promote positive change in the school, community and beyond. “We empower students in leadership, integrity, character development, compassion, diversity and service above self, and really just keep the ‘home’ in Homestead,” she said.

“We want to make this a place that people want to be and people know you and celebrate your stories and work together.” She said about 30 students participate in The Network. She continues her own art projects as she works toward her master’s degree in studio art with a concentration in painting

Ritz holds the 17th seat on the panel. “Superintendent Ritz and I are co-chairing the panel, and so far it’s going very, very well,” Yager said. “I’m really impressed with Superintendent Ritz and the knowledge that she has and the background that she has regarding curriculum and instruction in the state of Indiana.”

Financial Focus Harvest Season Offers Lessons to Investors It’s harvest time again. Of course, harvest season may not mean that much to you if you don’t work in agriculture. Nonetheless, you can learn a lot from those who do — especially in your role as an investor. Here are a few of these lessons to consider: • “Feed” your portfolio. Through the proper combination of fertilizers and irrigation, farmers seek to maximize the growth of their crops. And if you want to give your portfolio the opportunity to grow, you need to “feed” it with the right mix of investments. This generally means you’ll need to

own a reasonable percentage of growth-oriented vehicles, such as stocks and stock-based securities. Keep in mind, though, that the value of these types of investments will fluctuate, sometimes sharply — and there’s no guarantee you won’t lose some or all of your principal. • Be patient. Crops don’t grow overnight. Farmers know that they will put in countless hours of work before they see the fruits of their labors. And they know that, along the way, they will likely experience setbacks caused by a variety of issues: too much rain, too little rain, insect

infestations — the list goes on and on. When you invest, you shouldn’t expect to “get rich quick” — and you can expect to experience obstacles in the form of bear markets, economic downturns, changes in legislation and so forth. Continuing to invest for the long term and focusing more on long-term results than short-term success can help you as you work toward your objectives. • Respond to your investment “climate.” Farmers can’t control the weather, but they can respond to it. So, for example, when it’s been dry for a long time, they can boost their

irrigation. As an investor, you can’t control the economic “climate,” but you can make adjustments. To illustrate: If all signs point to rising long-term interest rates, which typically have a negative effect on long-term bond prices, you may need to consider reducing your exposure, at least for a while, to these bonds. • Diversify. Farmers face a variety of risks, including bad weather and fluctuating prices. They can help combat both threats through diversification. For instance, they can plant some crops that are more drought-resistant than others, so

they won’t face complete ruin when the rains don’t fall. As an investor, you should also diversify; if you only owned one type of financial asset, and that asset class took a big hit, you could sustain large losses. But spreading your dollars among an array of investments — such as stocks, bonds, cash and other vehicles — may help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. (Be aware, though, that diversification by itself can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) Relatively few of us toil in the fields to make our living. But by understanding the challenges of those who farm the land, we can learn some techniques that may help us to nurture our investments.

Australia, Tasmania tour to see former area pastor By Grace Housholder ghousehoder@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — At the request of Kendallville area residents, Edgerton’s Travel has created a special trip to Australia and Tasmania, a highlight of which will be time with the Rev. Paul Griebel, and his wife Cindy, in Tasmania. The Griebels served

St. John Lutheran Church in Kendallville for many years. “Life is full of surprises,” the Rev. Griebel said. “And Hobart is one of them. It has a rich history, amazing scenery and lots of friendly, hospitable people. Join us for a worship service on Sunday, and stay for morning tea, where you

can mingle and chat with ‘fair dinkum’ Tasmanians and enjoy the view out of our church windows.” Their entire ministry in the U.S. was at St. John in Kendallville. Cindy Griebel taught preschool at St. John part time from 1984 until 1993. At some point the job changed to full-time. She then was the preschool director

Prior to coming to Kendallville, the Griebels served in Australia. “We enjoyed it there,” Cindy Griebel said about their years (September 1973 to early 1982) in Adelaide, South Australia, and then Frankston, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne. In 1982, because their parents were having some health challenges, they felt they needed to move back to the U.S. Time with the Griebels will be the initial highlight of the Australia trip that begins Wednesday, April 2, with ﬂights from Chicago to Hobart, Tasmania, where the Griebels are serving St. Peters Lutheran Church for two years. Guests will stay at the Grand Chancellor Hobart Hotel. Activities in Hobart will include Sullivan’s Cove, the birthplace of Hobart, Parliament House, Salamanca Palace, Princes Park, Battery Point, and much more. Sunday will provide an opportunity to attend services at St. Peters Lutheran Church. On April 7 the group

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

The 1950s swept back into town on Sept. 11, thanks to Ivy Tech culinary arts classes. And from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. each Wednesday through Nov. 20, students will prepare meals for themes that range from Southern comfort foods to a Brazilian buffet, or What Do You Think About Them Apples? Themes vary each week. The public may partake at Kelty’s Kafe at the Ivy Tech Coliseum Campus, 3800 N. Anthony Blvd. But it all began with the Rock, Pop and Be-Bop Diner, featuring a Triple Decker Big Bopper Burger for $4, a Hot Rod Dog for $3, a Black Cow for $2.25, and a host of specialty sandwiches, sides and desserts. Imagine a ’50s drive-in restaurant complete with dancers from a local studio teaching how to do the Twist, the Mashed Potato, and the Watusi. Instructor Meshele Wyneken said the lunches draw from both campuses, but also from Concordia High School, IPFW and surrounding businesses. “This class is an opportunity to get real-life experience while you’re still a student,” said Wyneken, who oversees

sical methods first before you can really develop into other styles of cooking.” Wyneken said the students come up with the themes and recipes for the cafe. “They have to price everything out,” she said in a news release. “They have to show where they made a profit. They have to run everything from start to finish.” “I’m here to give them

advice and guide them and keep them on track,” she said. The cafe takes its name from Robert Kelty, who was an instructor in the program for about 20 years, and became dean of public services at Ivy Tech. He died in August 2011. “That’s when we decided to designate that as a permanent name for the cafe,” Wyneken said.

Able patients and visitors wishing to use the garage and to reach the elevators inside the medical office building will need to exit the garage at ground level and enter the attached facility through its main doors along Broadway. The second-floor walkway from the medical office building to the hospital will remain open throughout construction. Public access from the garage to the attached

medical office building is expected to resume late this fall. If patients or visitors choose not to use valet parking and they are unable to use the stairs, then they should park on the first floor of the garage. Phase two of the project will focus on updating the south section of the garage. It will temporarily require drivers to exit and enter the structure through the same access point off of Broadway. Phase three will update the center section of the parking garage, mainly the cross ramps.

A bequest that came about as a result of one family’s great tragedy now stands to benefit an entire community. The Anna Yoder MS Fund has been established at the Indiana University School of Medicine-Fort Wayne to further research and offer educational and outreach services for individuals and their families affected by multiple sclerosis. The $500,000 to establish the fund came from the estate of Florabelle Yoder as a memorial to her granddaughter, Anna Yoder. Anna’s mother, Peggy Yoder, was afflicted with MS that was first diagnosed when she was 32 years old and pregnant with her daughter. Florabelle and her husband, Ivan, were not wealthy, but they were frugal, said longtime friend Maureen Hillary. They had saved their money in hopes of leaving it to their granddaughter, but Anna died tragically and unexpectedly of encephalitis just a few weeks after graduating high school in 1997. Florabelle died in 2001 — her husband having preceded her in death — and left her estate to the management of Hillary with the provision that it be used to do something good. Although she was confined to a nursing home for 20 years, Peggy, ironically,

outlived both her mother and daughter. She died in 2010, a full 30 years after her MS was discovered. While it was Peggy who was afflicted with MS, the fund is named after Anna because the money would have been hers had she lived, and because she was affected by her mother’s disease in many significant ways, Hillary said. “Her mother couldn’t carry her. She was too weak to even put her arms around her,” Hillary recalled. “It had a big impact on her.” Hillary — then Maureen Zirille — first met the Yoders when she went to work full time and hired Peggy to baby-sit for her children during the summer. Anna was just a couple months old and came along with her mother. “My kids all fell in love with her … She was like a little sister to them,” Hillary said. At one time, Hillary and her family even considered adopting Anna should her mother be unable to care for her. But when Peggy became too weak to keep Anna with her, the girl went to live with her grandparents. Anna was a bright girl

and seemed to have a bright future ahead of her, and her sudden death left everyone shaken. But Florabelle was determined her family’s hardships be turned into something positive and left Hillary to work out the details. She invested the funds, and as Florabelle had wished, held on to them as long as Peggy was living just in case they should be needed to help with her care. After Peggy’s death, work began to create an advisory board and set some guidelines for the use of the money. The fund recently established ofﬁces at the medical school and hired former News-Sentinel health-care reporter Jennifer Boen as director. Among the members of the advisory board is Sandi Kemmish, the former director of the Lincoln Financial Foundation, who has been very open about her own battle with MS. The board, which includes medical professionals, MS sufferers and others affected by the disease, is still working to set more speciﬁc goals and priorities, but plans to work with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and its Indiana chapter.

off-road location departs at 9:15 a.m. Off-road adventures begin at 10 a.m. with the Blessing of the Jeeps, and continue until 3 p.m. Breakfast and lunch will be available. Space is limited to the ﬁrst 300 Jeeps to register. Back at the O’Daniel Service Department, family fun is planned from 4-7:30 p.m. The bands Brother and Renegade will entertain, sponsored by Dupont Bar & Grill. Children and the young-at-heart may enjoy the moon walk, Muddy

Jeep rides, pedal cart races, a kids play area, carnival games, a maze, face painting, cupcake decorating, the U.S. Army Rock Wall, and more. Santa Claus will be on hand, as will the Komets’ Ice Eagle with the Jeep Girls and Icy-normous. The Allen County Sheriff’s Department will offer a Kids ID program. Prizes still are being contributed for a silent auction from 4-7:30 p.m. at vendor row, where Starbucks will have apple cider available. A corn hole tourna-

ment, food and beverages will be available. Beer will be available to ages 21 and over. Last year’s event resulted in a contribution of about $20,000, said Smith, of the DAV. A check was presented on the ice at a Komets hockey game. “Of course we’re shooting for more every year,” Smith said. Smith said the DAV welcomes more volunteers to help stage the event. Volunteers may register at odzjeepjam. com. He said other veterans organizations, such as the American Legion, Amvets and Wounded Warriors, may set up tables at the event. “It’s our primary fundraiser every year, and the money goes directly back to our local veterans,” Smith said. The DAV helps veterans in many ways, he said. “We’ve done things like replace engines. A veteran was between jobs, and he couldn’t afford to replace a motor. Several of our members are mechanics, as well. The DAV not only gave manpower, but also the funds to do that,” he said. The DAV also helps with medical bills and house payments, and buys and provides wheelchairs or other medical appliances.

Artisans and craftsmen who are members or friends of Christ’s Community Church at 10616 Liberty Mills Road in Aboite Township will assist the Talents into Treasures sale from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19. Admission is free. Woodworkers, quilters, seamstresses, knitters, artists, cooks, bakers, jewelry makers, painters, jam makers, gift basket assemblers, and other talented people are joining together to support the projects of the Women’s Ministries Team at the church. The event also raises money for projects that are created and donated to various local charities, including Hospice Home on Homestead Road and Love Inc. in Huntington. For more information, call (260) 436-2637, or visit christcommunitychurch.org. The sale was held for the first time four years ago by a group of women in the church who found themselves referred to jokingly as “The Bag Ladies.” They took their name from the tote bags they made to hold handmade crib quilts and crib sheets that they created to donate to needy families. The program expanded and now, among other projects, they fill each of the handmade bags with a handmade quilt, two handmade or purchased crib sheets, several infant size “onesies,” infant socks, sleepers, burp cloths, and other essential baby items. Since the Bag Ladies began, almost 200 filled bags have been donated to various organizations. This year, Bonnie Pilditch will demonstrate the art of spinning raw wool into yarn on a historic spinning wheel. Pilditch,

a longtime member of the Fort Wayne Flax and Fleecers Spinning Guild, has demonstrated her art at the Johnny Appleseed Festival. This year’s array of other handcrafted items includes a children’s solid oak rocking chair handcrafted by Doug Tellas. Another church member, Nancy Myers, has developed a following with her little girls’ hand-smocked dresses with accessories; six of those will be available for purchase. Other specialties for sale might include original oil paintings, quilted items, gift baskets of homemade jams of various ﬂavors, a handmade blue jeans teddy bear, soft goods, home accessories, children’s items, photo stationery, several specialty gift baskets and many specialty food items and baked goods. The knitted items might include children and adult size hats, scarves, mittens, gloves or sweaters. “Each year we want to bring people together and be more aware of the many wonderful talents, skills, See TALENTS, Page A19

TALENTS from Page A18 and hobbies of members of our congregation,” said Janet Tellas, the Women’s Ministry Team leader. “Talent just comes out of the woodwork, and it is always fun to learn more about each other, see the wonderful array of items, and know that all of the proceeds of the sale will go to help support the many projects of the Women’s Ministry team.” Although the sale is organized by the Women’s Ministry team, many men also contribute by creating useful items or by helping before, during or after the sale. Another Women’s Ministry team member, Deb Neuenschwander, said, “I have always loved fabric and I love to sew and we have a lot of fun as we work together to help others.” The group also makes lap robes for Hospice Home on Homestead Road and nursing home residents. Members sew pillowcases for children undergoing treatment for cancer. Members make and ﬁll Christmas stock-

dishes, which include pizza, subs and sausage rolls. The David Wolfe Acoustic Show will donate the music at Pepperchini’s from 4-6 p.m. Wolfe described his act as an acoustic show with some backing tracks. The former area lead singer and veteran of more than 30 years in the music business said he was happy to donate his time. “It’s for a good cause, for the park,” he said. Webb said each shop is donating a gift basket for the silent auction. The Fort Wayne TinCaps also have made a donation. “So we’ll have a lot of great items for the auction,” Webb said. The Huntertown Fire Department will display a ﬁretruck. Also expect some exotic sports cars, Webb said.

said. “Especially here with Allen County being as big as it is, people think 4-H is for kids who live on farms or who have access to farms or animals. That’s not the case at all. We’re actually getting some traditional clubs around Fort Wayne, and we’re very excited about that. If someone likes to take pictures, we have a photography project. We have health and personality. We have child development, dog obedience, aquatic science where you can bring in your ﬁsh. We have something sparking an interest for everybody.” 4-H’ers may enroll in any club in the county. The extension staff makes suggestions based on residence. Johnson said 4-H serves children from age 3 up through 12th grade. Kendall, the 4-H secretary, explained that Cloverbud serves children ages 3 and 4 who have not reached kindergarten. Mini 4-H serves children in kindergarten and grades one and two. Traditional 4-H serves youths in grades three through 12. Johnson said the See 4-H, Page B4

Southwest Allen County Schools officials have proposed a one-step redistricting to balance enrollment in the district’s six elementary schools. The Chestnut Hills neighborhood that now attends Covington Elementary School instead would attend Deer Ridge Elementary, moving 77 students. The affected fifth-graders would have the option of remaining at Covington for the final year of elementary school. Parents would be responsible for the transportation of any fifth-graders who choose to remain at Covington. That option would not be available to other children in those affected families. That change would not affect middle school assignments, because both elementary schools would remain in the Woodside Middle School attendance area. In August, Superintendent Steven Yager advised the school board of the need to reassign students in order to avoid overcrowding. He presented figures showing enrollment rising at some schools and remaining stable at other schools. He also said he planned to coordinate public input sessions with parents. The first of six meetings was held Sept. 24 at Aboite Elementary, with meetings Sept. 25 at Havervill and Sept. 26 at Covington Elementary. Three meetings remain. If the school board approves the change, the realignment will take effect in the fall of 2014. Yager initially said school board might make its decision by March. After the Havervill meeting, he offered a faster timetable. “Assuming we get similar types of See MAP, Page B5

Visitors will see the works of more than 50 juried artists and works by college, high school and elementary artists.

Downtown to become showcase for Renaissance art Roanoke’s Main Street again will be the venue for the town’s annual outdoor art show, called Renaissance in Roanoke. The celebration continues from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12. Started by local artists and business owners to highlight the renovated beauty of the downtown, Renaissance offers a vista of art, food and activities. Renaissance in Roanoke features more than 50 juried local and regional artists who will be on hand to display and sell their original art, with live demonstrations by some of the artists. Visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite artist. Also on display are three scholastic art competitions: College, high school

and the local Roanoke Elementary School. Sign-ups are still available for the popular plein air competition. These artists arrive as early as 8 a.m. and set up their easels around town to begin painting or drawing. They capture a scene in Roanoke on canvas and as the day goes on visitors to the event can watch the images being created. This is an invitational and juried show which offers the opportunity for the public to support the arts and to interact and buy directly from the artist. There will be children’s art activities, music and food vendors. More information is available on the Art Council website at RenaissanceinRoanoke. org.

Administrators said they hope to keep each school at between 85 percent and 95 percent of capacity, with a goal of no more than 25 students in each class. Officials will continue

to study ways to increase capacity without new buildings. Yager said Aboite Elementary might be reconfigured to add a classroom. Because elementary students are in line to receive laptop computers, schools that have two computer labs could convert one lab into a classroom. For more information, visit sacs.k12.in.us.

Trail Blazer 5k/10k Oct. 20 at Summit Middle School Continuing the momentum to build a world-class trail network is the goal of an upcoming Fort Wayne Trails fundraiser. The second Trail Blazer 5K/10K takes place at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, at Summit Middle School and will include a kids’ 1-mile fun run. Early registration for adults, and the subsequent $10 savings, ends Oct. 4. After that, the cost is $35 per person although children can participate in the Fun Run for just $5. Complete details and registration information for the Trail Blazer is available online at fwtrails.org. Last year’s Trail Blazer saw almost 500 runners and walkers take part, and event planners are looking to double that number this time around. “We were very happy with the turnout at our ﬁrst Trail Blazer and are excited at the prospect of hundreds of more area residents taking part in October,” said Lori Rose, Fort Wayne Trails’ executive director. “The more people that support this fundraiser, the faster we can build more trail connections that help characterize Fort Wayne and Allen County as a healthy, vibrant place to live.” The event’s title sponsor is Lutheran Health Network Lutheran Hospital. Monies raised from the event will

benefit the entire trail system by helping to unlock millions of dollars in matching grants as officials hope to add six more miles of trails throughout every quadrant of the community to the 70 miles that exist now within the next few years. “In southwest Fort Wayne, where the event will be held, we’re working to fill in gaps in the trails along Covington, Engle and Liberty Mills Roads, which will greatly enhance the safety and viability of these corridors and connect that side of town with the rest of the trails system,” Rose said. “To the north, the projects will link people to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo, Glenbrook Square, Shoaff Park, several schools, and many more retail and residential areas that are currently isolated. And in the southeast, we’re working to connect Southtown Centre to Anthony Blvd., with future plans to provide a loop to New Haven and a direct link to downtown Fort Wayne.” Connecting more of the existing trails will make for a more complete system, and local residents are taking advantage of the opportunities to safely travel by heel or by wheel to area destinations. The trails were used almost 500,000 times in 2012 alone.

Registration for an Oct. 20 beneﬁt run for Fort Wayne Trails is $35 after Oct. 4. Visit fwtrails.org.

Rose said Fort Wayne’s efforts are truly grass-roots in that citizens and volunteers have worked with the public sector all along as the driving force behind the trails. “Today, partnerships with city and county government, local residents’ donations of land and money, and, the constant efforts of its volunteers allow Fort Wayne Trails to continue building trails that beneﬁt people of all ages and walks of life,” Rose said in a news release. “But, it has been no small task — on average, it costs $500,000 to $1 million to build one mile of trails, or about $125 a foot.” “Public and corporate participation

in events like this year’s Trail Blazer is vitally important to one day reaching our goal of 250 miles of trails throughout Allen County and to the future quality of life in Fort Wayne,” Rose added. The ﬁrst 1,000 participants at the Trail Blazer will receive a high-quality Under Armour racing shirt and goody bag, and prizes will be given to top ﬁnishers in each age group. Teams are also being accepted this year and will receive even more perks. The Kids’ 1 Mile Fun Run takes place on the Summit Middle School track and will be supervised by Fort Wayne Trails’ volunteers.

Done Rite Cleaners Done Rite Cleaners is a new name, new look and focused on customer service, but owner/operator Ryan Buckner is not new to the cleaning business. In fact, the Buckner family has been in the cleaning business in Allen County for 24 years. “We’ve changed our name, logo, brand strategies, and updated our look in an effort to better serve our customers,” Buckner says. That means adding equipment, being a full-service cleaner and even delivering. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the experienced staff, he adds—except for adding necessary employees. Other changes include new machinery that improves the quality of cleaning. One of those improvements was a $60,000 investment in a new machine which produces the highest - quality shirts in Fort Wayne. “Shirts are our specialty,” Buckner says, adding a two-man team can produce up to 85 shirts in an hour.

Kenya again beckons agent of local church By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Jen Foster of Fort Wayne recently returned to Africa as an international advocate for Kenya Simba Scholars and Creative Women of the World. Foster will be in Kenya for about ﬁve or six months. It is her third trip, she said, but not her last. Foster works with the Mwangatu Women, which said she translates as “light of hope.” She is not teaching the women to make jewelry or to crochet. “These women have the skills already,” she said. “But what we’re teaching them is how to turn all these skills into something that’s going to empower you to make your own money and to build yourself up ﬁnancially so you don’t have to rely on other people around you to give you money. “Because that dis-empowers you. When you give somebody money without accountability, that dis-empowers somebody.” Foster spent the summer networking from Saint Joseph United Methodist Church, 6004 Reed Road. “This is my home church,” she said. “I started going

here when I was 13 years old. I left Fort Wayne for work. But this has always been my home base.” “In 2008 I was at a point in my life where I wanted something more,” she said. “I was working as an audio engineer in Virginia. I was feeling like I wanted to do something different with my life but I wasn’t sure what. So one day I woke up and I bought a plane ticket to Kenya, and it was just one of those things that had a pull on my heart, so I ended up volunteering in an orphanage for about a month in 2008.” Back in Fort Wayne, Saint Joseph pastor the Rev. Russ Abel and Simba Scholars founder Saneta Maiko told Foster about an opportunity to work with children in Africa. “Russ told me I’d be a good missionary,” she said. “And I thought ‘maybe later, I need to make money.’ “ So, Foster said, she went back to making money. She followed her career to Washington, D.C., and then back to Fort Wayne before committing to the Kenya mission. “It just came at a time in my life when I was kind of done with the whole audio scene

and it was kind of killing my spirit a little bit and I was looking for more,” she said. “And I thought this would be really cool if I could make it happen somehow.” “And there were a lot of fears that I had to face,” she said. “I have to raise about $40,000 to $60,000 a year to do this. I’m not employed by any one organization. And then the public speaking part of it was really a fear of mine. And it all settled on me and I said, ‘I’m gonna do it.’ I started fundraising. I felt the ﬁre in myself, and I felt my spirit reviving, and within three or four months I had the money raised that I needed to go, and it all happened so smoothly.” So this summer, Foster spoke in public and met with smaller groups in homes. In that more intimate setting, she said, people open up and ask more questions. She caught a ﬂight to Kenya on Sept. 5. The school is a ministry of Saint Joseph UMC. Foster will help the school with accounting. Working with the Mwangatu Women, Foster will continue the business See KENYA, Page B9

KENYA from Page B8 training that she introduced last November. “We’re continuing to build relationships and just mentor the women,” she said. “We’re looking at a brick and mortar place for them to set up their business. Right now they’re just in a community place. We want to do things that will continue to help them grow their business.” The women sell their goods through Creative Women of the World, which maintains a fair trade shop at 125 W. Wayne St. The organization works with women in about 30 countries, Foster said. “The Mwangatu Women create purses made out of recycled plastic bags and candy wrappers, and they create jewelry made out of cow bone pieces,” Foster said. “There’s a little bone factory that collects the bones from the butcher and they shave it into these pieces and they decorate them.” Foster’s contact person is Grace, with whom Foster became acquainted during her ﬁrst Kenya trip in 2008. Foster is about one year into a three-year commitment to the ministry. “It has been amazing and I have learned so much,” she said. “And I’ve come out of a rut that I was in because I was at a place where I just didn’t feel like I was doing a

And there are times when you just feel completely overwhelmed by the needs of the world and you’re trying to be compassionate but also be compassionate to yourself as well as to other people, so it does take a huge toll on you.” “So three years is a large chunk of time,” she said. “It was just where I felt like I was being led at this particular point in my life. Once that’s over I’m not saying that I’ll just quit connecting with Kenya. I don’t see myself

being able to do that at all. But once my commitment is over, I may choose to do something here and head there once every couple of years.” Foster shares news of her ministry and her appreciation for the people of Kenya online, at internationaladvocate. wordpress.com.

Homestead has four semifinalists Homestead High School announced that four seniors are semifinalists in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship program. “These four kids come from outstanding families and show great commitment to education,” said Park Ginder, school principal. He said the students demonstrate not only academic skill, but commitment to varied interests. They are: Marielle Cabe, daughter of Emmanuel and Maria Theresa Cabe; Natalie Hawken, daughter of James and Connie Hawken; Benjamin Landrigan, son of Daniel and Linda Landrigan; and Erik Overdahl, son of Michael and Carla Overdahl. Each student is finalizing college plans. Homestead also had six National Merit Commended

students, who placed among the top 5 percent of the nation’s juniors. They are: Anna Haller, Laura Laudeman, Priscilla Lin, Iam Mckenzie, Sahithi Surakanti and Trevor Waldman. The four local semifinalists are among 16,000 nationwide in the 59th annual scholarship program. If chosen as finalists, they will compete for three types of about 8,300 National Merit Scholarships worth $35 million that will be offered in spring 2014. About 1.5 million juniors in about 22,000 U.S. high schools entered the 2014 program by taking the 2012 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The nationwide pool of semifinalists represents less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors.

This is not its natural habitat.

Of course you’d never really flush a gator. But every day the sewer system is filled with diapers, baby wipes, toys, cell phones, tools, jewelry and more. Things that shouldn’t be flushed. Obviously, some end up in the sewer system by accident. But if something clogs the pipe connecting your home, the cost of the cleanout could be on you. So take a look first. And think before you flush.
