AWS Foundation awards $250,000 to USF Jesters

The bluegrass strains that resonate from a Kekionga Shores cul de sac might be the sound of Jim and Linda Winger rehearsing or relaxing. Or the sound might be created by traveling bluegrass artists enjoying the Wingers’ hospitality. The Aboite Township couple and many of their fellow bluegrass enthusiasts converge each May and each Labor Day weekend at Kendallville, for the Tri-State Bluegrass Festival. Jim Winger is the president of the Northern Indiana Bluegrass Association, which sponsors the festivals. Linda Winger is the treasurer. Their love of bluegrass dates back to the early 1980s. “We were going to a festival once a year,” Linda said, emphasizing “A.” “We got hooked on it,” she continued. “He came back from one held in May and decided that he couldn’t stand it any longer, he had

AWS Foundation of Fort Wayne has awarded the University of Saint Francis-sponsored Jesters program $250,000. Jesters was founded at the university in 1978 to engage individuals with disabilities in the creative arts to enhance their quality of life. It seeks to develop self-expression, self-esteem, socialization and other life skills while providing learning opportunities to the USF and local communities. The grant is the latest in ongoing AWS support for Jesters, a program of the School of Creative Arts. With the mission of helping children and adults with enduring intellectual and physical disabilities to live as fully and independently as possible, AWS has provided funding for Jesters since 2010. The funding will provide $50,000 in annual program support, doubling for the next ﬁve years the Jesters contribution AWS was already making. In a news

release, the university said, “This will allow the Jesters to concentrate on goals rooted in a strategic plan ﬁrst developed in 20102011 with the support of the AWS Foundation.” The operating budget will support performance opportunities, performance costs and salaries for teaching artists. It will also allow the university to enhance student educational opportunities. Internships and volunteerism will strengthen internal ties and alliances within the School of Creative Arts and Department of Education, as special education majors acquire hands-on learning through the Jesters program. Ways to expand program capacity and cultivate local and regional relationships with like-minded organizations will be explored through expanded hours for the director and assistant director, as they reach out See JESTERS, Page A7

Each week, men from the clubs and the community meet with the boys in an open and supportive atmosphere to mentor them toward healthy lifestyles, positive values and choices for their future.

The funding will also provide for expanded marketing, strategies to diversify funding, increasing awareness of people with disabilities and the Jesters program, and the development of infrastructure to support these efforts. The number of Jesters participants has doubled in the ďŹ ve years of AWS funding. â€œI never cease to be surprised at how important the work is â€” the participants have such pride in their accomplishments â€” Iâ€™m so happy to serve in this way,â€? said Jesters Director Allison Ballard.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Allen County in Preschool Pilot Program United Way of Allen County announced that Allen County is one of the ďŹ ve Indiana counties chosen to participate in the Preschool Pilot Program created by the 2014 Indiana General Assembly. The program will begin in 2015 and seeks to increase the number of Indiana children who enter kindergarten ready to learn.

It provides up to $10 million in state funding for pre-kindergarten for low-income 4-year-olds that must be matched by private funding of at least 10 percent. Services may be delivered via public schools, accredited private schools, and providers who have achieved Level 3 or Level 4 in Paths to Quality, Indianaâ€™s voluntary child care quality

rating and improvement system. The other counties selected are Marion, Lake, Jackson and Vanderburgh. United Way was selected by 15 community organizations to spearhead the Allen County effort. In addition to preparing a Statement of County Readiness, United Way secured $100,000 in matching funds. United

Way and United Wayâ€™s Women United afďŹ nity group committed $50,000 with another $50,000 pledged from PNCâ€™s Grow Up Great program. These funds were secured with the expectation of an additional $700,000 to $900,000 in matching funds being contributed if Allen County was selected for the pilot program. The pilot

program is supported across Allen County by 30 collaborating organizations. It is estimated that currently 1,473 underserved 4-year-old children in Allen County could beneďŹ t from the preschool pilot program. â€œWith so much work already being done in our community by us, our partner agencies and other local groups for early

childhood education, pursuing this preschool pilot program grant was a natural conclusion,â€? said Todd Stephenson, president and CEO of United Way of Allen County. â€œAllen County is uniquely qualiďŹ ed to take full advantage of these dollars to not only help children prepare for kindergarten, but to also prepare them for a better life.â€?

Albertson has been the assistant Albertson principal of Bishop Luers since September 2007. Rhoades stated, â€œI am very grateful that Mrs. Tiffany Albertson has accepted the position of principal of Bishop Luers High School. She has been an excellent assistant principal at Luers and has great experience in secondary school education and leadership. I am especially impressed by Tiffanyâ€™s strong commitment to the Catholic identity and mission of Bishop Luers

High School.â€? He added, â€œI am also deeply grateful to the search committee for its hard work and for recommending Mrs. Albertson to me for the principal position. And, of course, I thank Mrs. Mary Keefer for her outstanding service as principal of Bishop Luers for so many years.â€? Keefer announced her retirement as principal in April. A search committee was then formed to ďŹ nd a new principal. â€œTiffany is an excellent choice to lead Bishop Luers,â€? Keefer said. â€œShe is a faith-ďŹ lled woman, a hard worker and she knows education. She also loves our students. Bishop Luers High School is in good hands.â€? As assistant principal, Albertson has a strong sense of the Bishop Luers community.

Jones is appointed CEO at Saint Joseph Hospital Saint Joseph Hospital is turning to a member of its extended family to become its new chief executive officer. Kenneth Jones, the current CEO of The Orthopedic Hospital of Lutheran Health Network, has been chosen Jones by St. Joe’s board of trustees to fill the hospital’s highest administrative position. His official start date is July 28. “Kenneth’s experience as a leader in both hospital and physician practice settings lends itself well to the opportunities he’ll encounter running a facility located in an area that’s expected to receive an influx of new residents in the very near future,” said Brian Bauer, chief executive officer, Lutheran Health Network. “His perspective as an administrator, husband, and father of two young children will be important to a growing hospital in a revitalized downtown.” Jones was named CEO of The Orthopedic Hospital in March 2013. In October, TOH was recognized for the third time in as many years by The Joint Commis-

sion as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures for surgical care. Jones’ professional development and community involvement includes earning a Six Sigma Green Belt certiﬁcation, being a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and board membership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Science Central, Turnstone and Fort Wayne Urban League. “I’m excited to be a part of the energy that’s being generated in downtown Fort Wayne,” said Jones. “The commitment Lutheran Health Network and St. Joseph Hospital made nearly 16 years ago to modernize the hospital while providing quality care for those living in and around the heart of the city continues to be fulﬁlled daily. I don’t think you can overestimate how important it is for a growing central city to have a strong, full-service hospital and vice versa.” Prior to arriving in Fort Wayne, Jones was the CEO of Heekin Orthopedic Specialists in Jacksonville, Fla. He also served in administrative and leadership positions at hospitals in Florida and Georgia, where he was responsible for overseeing multiple areas.

Tri-State Bluegrass Festival Thursday-Sunday, Aug. 28-31 Noble County 4-H Fairgrounds, 580 N. Fair St., Kendallville Admission is free Thursday. Charges apply for the 4-H dinner, 4:30-7:30 p.m. Programs and admission fees vary Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Or buy a weekend pass. For the entertainment lineup, driving directions and other details, visit bluegrassusa.net. the words, everything is by ear,â€? Jim said. â€œYou learn the basic melody and from there you do what you want within the chord structure,â€? Linda said. â€œSome of the songs we pick up, many try to do them note by note, but itâ€™s not necessary.â€? That reliance on notes is risky, Jim said. â€œBecause then if you forget a note, youâ€™re dead.â€? Bluegrass is not easily deďŹ ned, according to Jim. â€œThere are as many deďŹ nitions of bluegrass as there are musicians,â€? he said. â€œThereâ€™s a group says weâ€™re straying from the Bill Monroe structured bluegrass, and thereâ€™s a group says if weâ€™re going to grow and become popular we need to expand our horizons and let more people in, and make make music more â€˜friendly,â€™ if you will, and more vibrant.â€? â€œThe bluegrass music has a drive,â€? he said. â€œThe banjo is driving and typically itâ€™s pushing the limits of the song. Youâ€™re trying to catch up with the banjo.â€? â€œWhat weâ€™re playing today is nothing like Bill Monroe played,â€? he said, quoting the so-called father of bluegrass as saying, â€œIf you like it, play it.â€? Bluegrass is an indige-

nous American art form, said Linda, and some of the recording artists who enjoy a party and a nightâ€™s rest at the Wingersâ€™ home are on the road to teach others about their music. â€œWe have had some house parties in the winter time, where a band is traveling through and they stop here,â€? she said. â€œWe have a party, we invite people to come and give a donation for the band â€” and itâ€™s basically for gas money for them. And they can stay here overnight, and we feed them.â€? The Spinney Brothers from Nova Scotia have relaxed with the Wingers and friends. â€œTheyâ€™re pretty hot right now. Theyâ€™re a nice bunch of guys, four guys,â€? Linda said. The band Special Consensus has stayed overnight in Kekionga Shores. Band member Greg Cahill teaches with the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago. â€œThey will go in the schools and give an instructional program on bluegrass, which is an indigenous American style music and explain what these instruments are, and where theyâ€™re from, how they relate within the band, and they will also instruct what harmony singing is.â€?

Music memorabilia, awards and bluegrass music CDs abound in the home of Jim and Linda Winger.

The Wingers served six years on the board of the International Bluegrass Music Association in Nashville, and for four years before that attended the national convention in Louisville. â€œYouâ€™re rubbing shoulders with every musician,â€? Jim said. â€œMy favorite story is we got off the elevator at the Galt House in Louisville, and there was a jam going on. Who should be standing in the jam but Rhonda Vincent, who is quote â€˜the queen of bluegrass,â€™ but she was just jamming with the guys. And thatâ€™s what is so great about this music is that the stars stand out in the crowd and jam. Theyâ€™ll go out in the parking lot and jam. The bands that we have in Kendallville they come out and pick with everybody.â€? Linda added to that thought. â€œThey donâ€™t come on stage, and perform, and go back to their bus and

leave,â€? she said. â€œTheyâ€™re like regular people.â€? Bluegrass education programs have reached thousands of children nationwide, Linda said, with some of the school visits held in Fort Wayne, Auburn, and the wider tri-state area. â€œOur focus has been on kids,â€? she said. â€œWe try to introduce bluegrass. We work very hard to keep it a family thing.â€? She said she hopes children embrace â€œthese good thingsâ€? that bluegrass offers. â€œNo mosh pits,â€? Jim added. The Wingers can tell you about the history of the Kendallville bluegrass festival, but they prefer to talk about its future. â€œWeâ€™re a big economic impact on the town of Kendallvile,â€? he said. â€œWhen you bring in 400 people it puts a big impact on the community. They spend money, they repair their vehicles, they eat at the local restaurants.â€? â€œAnd I always felt that youâ€™ve got to give back to the community, and on Thursday nights you have four hours of music that you can listen to for free,â€? he said. Visiting bands put on a 45-minute show at a nursing home. â€œThe place is packed,â€? Jim said. â€œTheyâ€™re hanging on to their wheelchairs enjoying the show.â€? â€œThis is a payback to the community,â€? he said. â€œThey support us and we try to support them. The community has got to be happy with us, and weâ€™ve got to be happy with the community.â€?

Financial Focus

Protect Your Retirement against Market Volatility As an investor, youâ€™re well aware that, over the short term, the financial markets always move up and down. During your working years, you may feel that you have time to overcome this volatility. And youâ€™d be basing these feelings on actual evidence: the longer the investment period, the greater the tendency of the markets to â€œsmooth outâ€? their performance. But what happens when you retire? Wonâ€™t you be more susceptible to market movements? You may not be as vulnerable as you might think. In the first place, given our growing awareness of healthier lifestyles, you could easily spend two, or even three, decades in retirement â€” so your investment time frame isnâ€™t necessarily going to be that

compressed. Nonetheless, itâ€™s still true that time may well be a more important consideration to you during your retirement years, so you may want to be particularly vigilant about taking steps to help smooth out the effects of market volatility. Toward that end, here are a few suggestions: UĂŠ Â?Â?ÂœV>ĂŒiĂŠĂžÂœĂ•Ă€ĂŠÂˆÂ˜Ă›iĂƒĂŒÂ“iÂ˜ĂŒĂƒĂŠ >Â“ÂœÂ˜}ĂŠ>ĂŠĂ›>Ă€ÂˆiĂŒĂžĂŠÂœvĂŠ>ĂƒĂƒiĂŒĂŠ VÂ?>ĂƒĂƒiĂƒÂ°ĂŠOf course, proper asset allocation is a good investment move at any age, but when youâ€™re retired, you want to be especially careful that you donâ€™t â€œover-concentrateâ€? your investment dollars among just a few assets. Spreading your money among a range of vehicles â€” stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, government securities and so on â€”can help you avoid taking

the full brunt of a downturn that may primarily hit just one type of investment. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it canâ€™t assure a profit or protect against loss.) UĂŠ Â…ÂœÂœĂƒiĂŠÂˆÂ˜Ă›iĂƒĂŒÂ“iÂ˜ĂŒĂƒĂŠĂŒÂ…>ĂŒĂŠ Â…>Ă›iĂŠ`iÂ“ÂœÂ˜ĂƒĂŒĂ€>ĂŒi`ĂŠĂƒÂœÂ?Âˆ`ĂŠ ÂŤiĂ€vÂœĂ€Â“>Â˜ViĂŠ>VĂ€ÂœĂƒĂƒĂŠÂ“>Â˜ĂžĂŠ Â“>Ă€ÂŽiĂŒĂŠVĂžVÂ?iĂƒÂ° As youâ€™ve probably heard, â€œpast performance is no guarantee of future results,â€? and this is true. Nonetheless, you can help improve your outlook by owning quality investments. So when investing n stocks, choose those that have actual earnings and a track record of earnings growth. If you invest in fixed-income vehicles, pick those that are considered â€œinvestment grade.â€?

UĂŠ ÂœÂ˜Â˝ĂŒĂŠÂ“>ÂŽiĂŠiÂ“ÂœĂŒÂˆÂœÂ˜>Â?ĂŠ `iVÂˆĂƒÂˆÂœÂ˜ĂƒÂ° At various times during your retirement, you will, in all likelihood, witness some sharp drops in the market. Try to avoid overreacting to these downturns, which will probably just be normal market â€œcorrections.â€? If you can keep your emotions out of investing, you will be less likely to make moves such as selling quality investments merely because their price is temporarily down. UĂŠ ÂœÂ˜Â˝ĂŒĂŠĂŒĂ€ĂžĂŠĂŒÂœĂŠÂşĂŒÂˆÂ“iÂťĂŠĂŒÂ…iĂŠ Â“>Ă€ÂŽiĂŒÂ° You may be tempted to â€œtake advantageâ€? of volatility by looking for opportunities to â€œbuy low and sell high.â€? In theory, this is a fine idea â€” but, unfortunately, no one can really predict market highs or lows. Youâ€™ll probably be better off by consistently investing the same

amount of money into the same investments. Over time, this method of investing may result in lower per-share costs. However, as is the case with diversification, this type of â€œsystematicâ€? investing wonâ€™t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, and youâ€™ll need to be willing to keep investing when share prices are declining. Itâ€™s probably natural to get somewhat more apprehensive about market volatility during your retirement years. But taking the steps described above can help you navigate the sometimes-choppy waters of the financial world.

$10,000 grant beneﬁts Centering Pregnancy The March of Dimes Indiana Chapter has awarded a $10,000 grant to Parkview Hospital Foundation to support Centering Pregnancy, a program of Parkview Women’s and Children’s Hospital. The program will be located at Parkview Hospital Randallia and is aimed at improving

birth outcomes through reducing pre-term births, birth defects and infant mortality. Other beneﬁts include more provider and patient contact, patient empowerment and learning, self-care, and support and friendship among group members. This program will provide strategies and activities

to address risk factors for pre-term births, including poor nutrition, tobacco, alcohol and other drug use, stress, and lack of adequate prenatal care. This grant is one of many that the March of Dimes awards throughout the United States in pursuit of its mission to prevent birth defects and infant

mortality. “Finding unique and improved ways to enhance the accessibility of adequate prenatal care for local mothers resulting in healthier babies and children is incredibly important,” said Patti Brahe, senior vice president, Parkview Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

“The March of Dimes and this grant will help to do that and we are thankful for the generosity of others which made this grant possible.” The March of Dimes is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature

birth and infant mortality. Founded in 1938, the March of Dimes funds programs of research, community services, education, and advocacy to save babies, and in 2003 launched a campaign to address the increasing rate of premature birth. For more information, visit marchofdimes.com.

Every Water Molecule Has 2 Hydrogen Atoms Bonded to 1 Oxygen Atom. That’ll Never Change.

There Are Going to Be Some Changes to Your Water Service. That’s because Aqua and the City of Fort Wayne will soon be partners in providing water and wastewater services for Aboite Township. What does that mean for you? First, the city will begin providing tap water to the 12,500 homes and businesses served by Aqua. The conversion begins upon regulatory approval and will occur in stages through the fall of 2015. Aqua will continue processing wastewater and, in fact, will expand its wastewater capacity later this year. This encourages economic growth. And, best of all, even though strict national regulations are increasing wastewater treatment costs, Aqua is committed to keeping rates stable through at least 2015.

YWCA reaches out to aid abused By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Victims of abuse walk a few blocks or drive for hours to reach 1610 Spy Run Ave. There, the YWCA Northeast Indiana coordinates shelter at a separate location. The YWCA also does much more. â€œWeâ€™ve been around a long time and we do good things,â€? said Barb Phillips, board chairwoman. â€œWe are more than an antiviolence center and crisis center. We have programs on diversity. We have Eyes Wide Open in the schools, helping them build healthy relationships.â€? Phillips spoke at a garden party that had been arranged to make the YWCA more visible in the community. â€œWe try to do this quarterly. This is our ďŹ rst evening event,â€? she said. â€œWeâ€™ve also had breakfasts, to talk with some of our constituents about our programs.â€? Jennifer Rohlf doesnâ€™t wait for societyâ€™s emotion-

ally injured to arrive at the Y. The community education coordinator takes her message of healthy relationships to the schools of Allen, Wells, Huntington, Whitley, Noble and DeKalb counties. Last school year, her programs reached more than 4,000 students. â€œSometimes some of the youth have never experienced healthy relationships, in their families or in their dating,â€? she said.

Cyberbullying programs teach children in elementary and middle schools how to use the Internet and technology safely, and what to do if they observe cyberbullying. â€œThere has been some research that shows the way a childâ€™s brain works when they are being bullied is very similar to the way an abuserâ€™s brain works,â€? Rohlf said. â€œWe donâ€™t want any of these things to happen, and if they are we want to stop it as soon as we can.â€?

Special athletes win honors Two Special Olympics athletes from Allen County received congratulations July 24 from family and community members. Alise Hazelett and Matthew Colley took center stage at a gathering at a private home in Aboite Township. Hazelett is a 2006 graduate of Homestead High School. Colley graduated from Elmhurst High School in 2005. â€œIt took a lot of training camps, and a lot of watching what you eat, and a lot of exercising,â€? Hazelett said. â€œIâ€™m happy that I went. It was pretty cool.â€? Hazelett competed in the 400M walk, the 800M walk, the 1500M walk and the shot put. Each athlete earned two medals and two ribbons. Colley took a gold medal in the 100M run, and also ran in the 4x100 relay, and threw the mini javelin and the shot put. â€œIt felt good that we did the best we could do,â€? he said. â€œAnd it also feels incredible when you get ďŹ rst.â€? Both athletes now will train for the golf competition, in Indianapolis in August and September. They ďŹ rst became acquainted through the Jesters program at

She said middle school programs address sexting â€” â€œa huge problem.â€? â€œAnd for the older kids, we also have Eyes Open for teens, usually in high school, and talk about healthy and unhealthy relationships,â€?

The family-friendly festival will feature educational displays and activities related to monarchs, many along a trail framed by 10-foottall native sunďŹ‚owers. Visitors will learn about monarchsâ€™ life cycle, migration and threats to their survival. They may see migrating monarchs taking nectar from native wildďŹ‚owers. Varieties of milkweed, the only plant on which monarchs will lay their eggs, will be given away for planting in home gardens or at the preserve. Inside the barn, displays will showcase live monarch caterpillars in various stages of growth. Activities will include face painting for kids,

Huntington annexation proposal fails By Peter Ambrose pambrose@kpcmedia.com

With the city of Huntingtonâ€™s wideranging annexation plans now dead in the water, Mayor Brooks Fetters must turn his focus to ďŹ nding other opportunities for growth and economic development. â€œWeâ€™ll continue to ďŹ nd our way forward,â€? the Republican mayor said, without going into much detail about what plans could be next.

plans to annex more than 3,000 acres of unincorporated land along the cityâ€™s northern, eastern and southeastern sides through a series of ďŹ ve phases over eight years. Councilman Charles Chapman, R-District One, said the council voted 4-3 during the July 8 meeting to reject an amended version of the proposal to begin the ďŹ rst annexation phase involving what the city had deemed Area 1. The council then overwhelmingly rejected the original proposal. When the mayor saw no support for the other four phases, the plan was taken off the table, Chapman said. Chapman doesnâ€™t see a chance of it returning any time soon. â€œI donâ€™t think itâ€™s shelved â€” I think itâ€™s shredded,â€? he said. The original Area 1 plan was the largest of the phases. It called for annexing more than 800 acres roughly between Old U.S. 24 and the U.S. 24 bypass. The move would have brought into the city limits a few housing developments, agricultural land, two schools, Huntingtonâ€™s new North Water Treatment plant and businesses and organizations such as Parkview Huntington Hospital and the YMCA. The amended proposal would have cut the scope of the Area 1 plan in half. â€œI felt that the amended area is an area that is largely served by public utilities already,â€? said Chapman, who voted in favor of annexation.

â€œAnd understanding a majority of the people are receiving city utilities and are contiguous to the city, I felt it was appropriate. I felt that area should have been annexed long ago and just never happened.â€? Councilman William Oswalt, D-District Three, voted against annexation despite supporting the process. He joined the council in late June, succeeding Democratic councilman Jim Long who died in May. Oswaltâ€™s decision mainly reďŹ‚ected the sentiment of voters in his district, the vast majority of whom he said did not support the plans, he said. Annexation opponents from outside and inside the city had organized a visible and vocal campaign on social media and by packing public meetings on the issue. Opponents criticized the annexation proposals as unfair land grabs that would have forced homeowners and farmers who chose to live outside the city into the city limits. Opponents claimed the new residents would have faced higher taxes to help alleviate the cityâ€™s. Fetters pointed in the opposite direction, saying Huntington is currently generating about a $1 million surplus and could have an approximately $2 million surplus by the end of the year thanks in part to cost-cutting and continuous improvement initiatives to improve city government efďŹ ciency. He said he and other city ofďŹ cials as they put together a new budget are looking at using most of that surplus to lower the cityâ€™s tax rate for the third straight year. He said annexation would have helped contribute to a lower rate â€” though,

of course, newly-annexed residents would still have to pay a tax where they hadnâ€™t before. And while Huntington would have realized thousands of dollars in new tax revenues due to annexation, Fetters maintained the real driving issues were about city services and economic development as part of goals laid out in a comprehensive plan adopted in 2012. The cityâ€™s public-works director, Anthony Goodnight, estimated in May about 67 percent of the properties that would have been annexed in Area 1 were already hooked up to a city utility â€” such as water or sewer â€” or had access to use those services. Fetters believes when such situations arise along a cityâ€™s fringes, the next step is annexation to ensure those properties receive all city services, and to have property owners share the costs of those services with the other rate payers. â€œMy view as a mayor, any time you extend water and utilities, those areas should be annexed,â€? he said. â€œWhen an area needs water and sewer utilities to serve the citizens, youâ€™re going to start having the population densities. Those same people are going to need city services like police, ďŹ re, parks, street lights and snow plowing from a city team.â€? The annexation plans Fetters introduced in March would have pushed the cityâ€™s boundaries northward and eastward along U.S. 24 and toward I-69; and southeastward toward the Huntington Municipal Airport â€” transportation routes the mayor identiďŹ ed as key for economic growth.

Hawkins to ďŹ ll two roles at university Huntington University graduate Marcy Hawkins has taken the reins as the director of alumni relations and director of the Forester Fund. A 2003 graduate, Hawkins comes to HU having worked as the director of special events for the Arthritis Foundation of Northern Indiana. In addition, she served for nearly seven years as the special events and outreach manager for the Alzheimerâ€™s Association of Greater Cincinnati. â€œThis new journey as director of alumni relations and the Forester Fund is truly a calling, and Iâ€™m very excited to be back on

campus,â€? she said. Hawkins has a long history with Huntington. She has family members, dating back to the early 1900s, who have graduated from the institution and then built their lives in the community. â€œIâ€™m proud to say that my family heritage in this school is strong and grounded,â€? she said. As the director of alumni relations, Hawkins will work to network with alumni, on and off campus, and help them to build relationships with their alma mater. Also, in directing the Forester Fund, she will work with alumni and friends to help

them support HU students through their ďŹ nancial gifts. â€œUltimately, serving in this role allows me the opportunity to share with alumni and friends how their involvement â€” ďŹ nancially and through alumni related projects â€” impacts current students,â€? she said. â€œMarcyâ€™s professional experience, â€˜farm girlâ€™ work ethic and winning personality will resonate well with our alumni, both young and young at heart,â€? added Vince Haupert, vice president for advancement. â€œWe are so thrilled to have her back at HU, this time as part of the advancement team.â€?

USF gets $700,000 nursing grant The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Human Resources and Services Administration has announced that the University of Saint Francis received an Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship grant for $350,000 per year for two years, for a total of $700,000. The grant will assist up to 48 full- and part-time Master of Science in Nursing-Family Nurse Practitioner students each academic year by awarding full- or part-tuition traineeships during

the student’s last two semesters in the program. The university’s first AENT grant supported 32 MSN-FNP graduates in 2013 and 39 this year. With financial assistance in the final year, MSN-FNP students who otherwise must work full time to pay tuition and support themselves and their families are helped to graduate in a timely manner with less debt. In return, upon graduation, students commit to provide primary health care services to those in need.

Honor for Yager

The class of 2015 has already submitted applications to receive grant monies. In applications, students discussed the impact of this opportunity at USF through the funding. USF Graduate Nursing Program Director Dr. Wendy Clark will work in cooperation with the university’s ﬁnancial aid and business ofﬁces in the distribution of funds to eligible MSN-FNP students. Clark can be contacted at 399-7700, ext. 8534, or wclark@sf.edu for more information.

Zoo’s red panda cub gets a name — ‘Maliha’ She’s strong and she’s beautiful, and now the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo’s 6-week-old red panda cub has a name to match. Zoo keepers have bestowed the name “Maliha” on the little female cub — a name that means “strong and beautiful” in a Nepalese language. Born on June 9, Maliha is the first of four red panda cubs born at the zoo in the last three years to survive longer than two weeks. About half of all red panda cubs die within 30 days of birth. Red pandas are an endangered species. Zoo keeper Helena Lacey, who works with the red pandas daily, chose the baby’s name to reflect her wild heritage — red pandas are native to Nepal and China — and to fit the cub’s personality. “I also wanted her name to reflect the

whole journey we’ve been on with our red pandas for the last three years,” she said. “Plus, she is a very strong cub, and beautiful too!” Maliha still spends all her time in an air-conditioned nest box with her mother, 5-year-old Xiao, but is gradually becoming more active, Lacey says. “Maliha rolls around, plays with her feet, and stays awake more,” Lacey said. “She tries to walk, but her feet still slide out from under her.” Red panda cubs typically remain in the nest box for about three months. This means that zoo guests have little chance of seeing the cub until late August or early September. Zoo keepers monitor Xiao and Maliha via a remote camera mounted in the nest box. Though Maliha is thriving, she still faces other hurdles.

Quality Vintage for a New Century WITH THIS AD GET

10% OFF 20%

“Weaning is a critical time for red panda cubs as they make the transition from mother’s milk to solid food,” Lacey explained. Weaning occurs when the cub is 5 to 6 months old. The path to the red panda exhibit remains closed to zoo guests in an effort to minimize disturbances for the new family. Guests can sometimes see Junjie, the cub’s father, lounging on branches in the exhibit. Maliha is weighed regularly to ensure that she is receiving appropriate maternal care. She has nearly quadrupled her birth weight of 139 grams and now weighs 545 grams (about 1.25 pounds). The breeding of red pandas is overseen by the Species Survival Plan, a program of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. The goal of the SSP is to maximize genetic diversity in zoo-dwelling populations of endangered and threatened animals. Red pandas are native to the forested foothills of the Himalaya Mountains in China and Nepal. The Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo at 3411 Sherman Blvd. is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily through Oct. 12. Admission is $14 for adults, $10.50 for seniors 60 or over, and $9 for children 2-18. Babies age 1 and under and Zoo Society members are admitted free.
