From the executive editor I am blessed to have some amazing fathers in my life. There’s my dad, who was my greatest cheerleader, coach, teacher, and more. He always pushed me to succeed— always believing in me and arming me with the confidence to chase my dreams. And now, I get to watch him be a wonderful Pops to my two girls. Though we don’t get to see him as much as we like, FaceTime has been a wonderful way to stay connected. There’s my Papa, who passed away in April 2011. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. He was my person—the one who always got me, always loved me so much it seemed to hurt. I miss him the most in June—celebrating Father’s Day and his birthday without him seems unreal, even 11 years later. There’s my father-in-law, who loves his grandchildren with his whole heart. To see my girls run to him with arms wide open warms my heart. I hope they have the same relationship with their Papa as I did with mine.

And last, but not least, there’s my husband and father to my girls. He’s strong, patient, kind, understanding, and so incredibly supportive it makes my heart swell. I didn’t think I’d get to be a mother. My husband gave me the greatest gift and his love for our girls and me is astounding.

Summer FASHION PREVIEW By Julie Young

From beachwear to accessories, casual looks and formal occasions, if you are ready to look cool this summer, then we’ve got the hottest trends in 2022 fashion. Area experts have weighed in on the styles to have handy, so here are our top tips for rocking the latest designs! Macy’s

Susan’s Fashions

According to Kelsey Smith, Macy’s Personal Stylist, prairie dresses continue to be a popular summer trend, but she is beginning to see some new takes on this classic style. The hemlines are shorter than in years past and the necklines are lower to give the traditional silhouette a modern upgrade. “As far as the colors and patterns go, the biggest trends we are seeing is the all-white, pastels, floral print or a combination of all three,” she said. When it comes to casual looks this summer, nothing is bigger than crochet. This fun retro style is being utilized in everything from tops to dresses and handbags, while giving every outfit a little texture, dimension, and some youthful flair. A crocheted top paired with jeans and a squaredtoe sandal is the perfect option for a casual get together, while a slip dress and a statement shoe is the go-to look for a more upscale affair. “The big heel trend this year is the sky-high platform. They are flying off the racks here at Macy’s, Smith said. “A huge sandal trend is the puffed or

pillow texture (and is) one of my favorite trends because it’s not only fun, but it makes shoes more comfortable, as well.” Sue Johnson at Susan’s Fashions says tops that can be worn as off-theshoulder or up high are a great choice when paired with the new flared leg jean in either white denim or light denim. (Twotones are also a popular choice!) Casual daytime dresses are taking the place of leggings when it’s hot. Choose a linen shift or a cotton knit that hangs away from the body for a comfortable look that will still showcase your sense of style.

Of course, every woman needs a textured swimsuit that flatters her shape, as well as a flowy, sheer beach coverup, statement jewelry and a great handbag to cap off their outfits. Fashion sneakers can help you complete your look, which should ultimately reflect your multi-textured personality. Anything goes this year so why not shine this summer with a look that is uniquely you!

Perimenopause By Cathy Shouse

Although menopause is a significant time in a woman’s life, perimenopause also brings changes. Knowing what to expect can make things easier. Emelia Winston, DO, OBGYN, of Women’s Health Advantage, shared her thoughts on the subject. “We aim to treat every patient individually, understanding that everybody requires personalized care,” she said. In very general terms, perimenopause lasts from two to ten years prior to menopause. Age 51 is the average age for menopause to start. Most common signs: • Hot flashes • Night sweats • Decreased libido • Trouble sleeping/insomnia • Mood irritability • Weight gain, especially centralized in the abdomen • Changes in vagina, dryness • Painful and/or irregular periods “The time of perimenopause is a time for women to really take care of themselves,” Winston said. “This is when they can start to set themselves up for success for their postmenopausal years. The first thing that a woman can do is make some lifestyle changes.” 10

| JUNE GLO 2022 |

Some ways to help:

• Taking vitamins/supplements, especially calcium and Vitamin D • Aiming for a plant-based whole food diet, or MACROS, intermittent fasting, etc. • Adding more strength and resistance training to work outs • Stopping smoking and/or limiting alcohol intake • Working on mental health • Trying a personal fan or cool mat placed on the bed. • Watching what you eat and triggers “There is a company called Bonafide that makes a plant based, non-hormonal and non-steroid supplement that some have noticed improvement within two weeks of starting it,” Winston said. Decreased libido can be a multifactorial issue that can take not only lifestyle changes, but sex therapy or medical therapy to help improve this area. ROSY, a wellness app, and OMGYES, a website that has lots of information and programs, might be helpful. For vaginal issues, in particular vaginal dryness, which can then lead to painful sex, there are different options available. There is a daily water-based moisturizer called Replens that

PREPARING FOR

can help for just regular daily dryness. For sex, there are different lubricants that can be used. Most are familiar with KY, which is a water-based lubricant, but sometimes using a silicone-based lubricant like UBERLUBE can help better with the pain from friction. Bonafide also makes a vaginal moisturizer suppository that has hyaluronic acid in it that can help to rebuild the tissue that is becoming thin due to perimenopause/menopause. “Getting an appointment with your physician can help you decide which avenue to begin with. Ultimately, every woman is unique, and different things will work for different women, so the key is finding out what works for you and not getting frustrated if something that works for your friend is not having the same effect for you,” Winston said. “It takes time to address every issue and although it can be a very frustrating process for some, know that your physician is there to lead you every step of the way to ensure that you can have a more enjoyable life in the post menopause phase.” a

In 1923, Abby Heidenreich’s great grandparents left Ansbach, Germany, searching for a great manufacturing industrial city with jobs and German-speaking churches. They boarded a boat named “America” and set sail for their new home. Each generation fell more in love with Fort Wayne and its residents, and Heidenreich is working hard to share the love and her German Heritage. “She cares about people and put the needs of others before herself,” Heidenreich’s son Jaeger expressed about his mother. “She gives a lot of herself to others.” After working for a corporation for 19 years, Heidenreich accepted a position in the technology department of Fort Wayne Community Schools. She was elated to be able to support students, teachers, and administrators. Becoming a tutor for Study Connection and a mentor for an elementary student allowed her to give back even more to her community. She revealed that “helping people has always been important to me, and in my job now, I can do that.”

“Germanfest is essen, trinken und gemutlicheit- eating, drinking and a good time!” Heidenreich exclaimed about the event. Beginning June 5th, Headwaters Park is transformed into a German Biergarten, kicking off the summer festival season. Whether you “sprechen sie Deutsch” (speak German) or not, there’s something for everyone. Sit at the long table, promoting a sense of community, where you can visit with friends and make new ones. Play fun games and contests with a German flair like Legs N’ Lederhosen or the Wienerdog Nationals. Indulge in homemade food like potato salad, sauerkraut, red cabbage, and cake, all derived from a club member’s family recipe. Additionally, there are events throughout the city all week long. Join Heidenreich and many others for Germanfest from June 5-12th. Sign up on the website to volunteer or register for events!

“Keeping the German Heritage alive and celebrating our ancestry was important to him, so it became important to me. My greatest hope is that I am making him proud,” Heidenreich conveyed about her father, Judge Kenneth Sheibenberger. An integral part of honoring her German Heritage is serving on the Germanfest Committee, composed of 4 local clubs: The Fort Wayne Sport Club, The Fort Wayne Mannerchor/Damenchor, The German Heritage Society, and The Fort Wayne Turners. She fondly remembered volunteering to fill cups with soda at Germanfest when she was eight. A cheerful volunteer each year, eventually, she became an apprentice behind the bar. After 24 years of dedication, she became vice president, marketing chair, and bar chair of the festival in 2018.

Getting to know people, cultivating relationships, and honoring family have been crucial parts of Heidenreich’s life. She enjoyed building rapport with patrons when she worked at a local, popular restaurant and formed many friendships playing on a women’s soccer league. She continues to develop partnerships serving two German Clubs: the German Heritage Society, founded by her father, and the Fort Wayne Turners, where she serves as vice president.

NICHOLAS WHEELER By Bethany Beebe | Photo by Tim Brumbeloe

Whether it’s a three-dog night or the dog days of summer, Nicholas Wheeler helps assure that area four-legged friends have enough to eat. Fort Wayne Pet Food Pantry, an organization now part of Humane Fort Wayne, distributes dog and cat food to area residents who may otherwise lose their pets because of costs. It counts Wheeler as one of its prized volunteers. Once a month, people meet to divide large bags of food into gallon zip bags. Distributions of collected and organized product then happen on a regular basis around the area. In 2021, 4,987 owners were given 100,252 pounds of food. As of April 2nd of this year, the organization already had helped 1,315 pet owners with 24,928 pounds of food. All distributions are not simply for the community, but also from the community. To put it simply, “it’s just neighbors helping neighbors,” Wheeler said. “There are a lot of food banks for people throughout the city doing a fantastic job of taking care of the human aspect when there is a need,” he said. “Going through a rough spot in life is hard enough without having to worry about losing what could be your only form of companionship. For a lot of us our pets are our family. They bring joy and happiness into our lives even when things look bleak.” Wheeler understands bleak. Now a Viant employee of four years, and machinist for 25 years total, he once struggled himself. “Years ago, when I was first starting out in my career and adult life, I got laid off for 11 months,” he said. “I had just bought a house and suddenly had no idea how I was going to pay for everything, let alone take care of my dogs. There were no jobs during that time and unemployment was barely enough to cover my mortgage, let alone any utility bills. Back then there was no pet food pantry of any sort. So, I did what I had to do to make sure that my dogs ate, even if it meant I didn’t.” His empathy for the people — and the animals — he helps drives his work getting others through a challenging patch of life. He said, “I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to not know how I’m going to feed my pet and the panic it brings. I wish there had been something like the Pet Food Pantry back then for me.” Better understanding the challenges of others is not limited to working at the pantry, though, but is a benefit of engaging one’s own passions. Wheeler said, “For so many of us, we live in a sheltered idea of … the world around us. It’s not until we get out of that comfort zone that we get to experience the truth. Through volunteering, we not only get to have new experiences, but we have a chance to make a direct and meaningful impact on the community around us, as well.” a

JADE HENRY Age: 13 By Kristin King | Photo by Tim Brumbeloe

With an impressive resume already under her belt, Jade Henry is well on her way to creating a bright future for her business and herself before she even enters high school. At the age of 9, her grandfather, John Dortch, (affectionately known as Pop-Pop) gifted her, her own LLC, which she named More Than Just An Art, to encourage her to continue her growing craft of bracelet making. She began just a few years before, constructing bracelets out of rubber bands and selling them at local events where Dortch would speak. Jade notes, “People always purchased my bracelets when I was hanging with my Pop-Pop because I was a kid I guess, and they thought they were cute!”

Dabbling in painting and drawing as well, Jade is a multi-talented artist, but she says that bracelet making was always what she felt most passionate about. So with her new business underway, she decided to look towards new trends to build on the foundation she had started. “I experimented with wooden beads, glass beads, and plastic beads to make bracelets,” Jade says, “I would wear them wherever I went, and people would buy them off my wrists.” With the popularity of her bracelets spreading, Jade began setting up booths at local events and markets to promote herself. She remained working closely with her Pop-Pop as he was able to provide her with platforms to speak to her success as a young entrepreneur. Her community ties expanded, and she became involved in Junior Achievement camps and programs that helped with providing resources and support for her growing business. It was through JA that she was nominated for the Believe in a Dream grant by her mother, Andrea, and was chosen in July 2021 as a recipient. This gave her access to funds that would help further support More Than Just An Art’s materials, vendor fees, and exposure. A few months later, she was selling her bracelets to JA for their annual BEL Awards. On top of creating products for and running her own business, Jade is also a dedicated volunteer, offering her services to community programs, such as Harbour Assisted Nursing Home, Parkview Pediatric Wing, and St. Mary’s Thanksgiving Day Clean Up. It can be hard to believe that she also has the time to attend middle school at Memorial Park and enjoy moments with her friends and family as a teenage girl. Her plan for the next 4 years is to use her profits from More Than Just An Art to save for college (of which she plans to attend a Historically Black College & University where she’ll be majoring in none other than business, of course!), buy a car, and continue to invest in her future. This summer she will be upping her exposure at local festivals and markets so make sure to keep an eye out for her as you explore the city! In her spare time though, she’ll be spending time with her friends, riding her bike, swimming, writing, and just soaking up her brief moments as a kid. a | JUNE GLO 2022 |

What you need to know to talk to your kids about

gender identity

Jacqueline and Jenna Shock

By Jennie Renner

exposure or conversation about alternatives isn’t going to change who they are.”

Parenting - just when you think you have things figured out, you are confronted with something new that you don’t know how to address. If you are feeling this way about gender identity and how to talk to your child about the subject, you are not alone. Before we jump into some advice about how to have a conversation about gender identity with your kids, it’s important to understand what gender is. “Our sex is our body parts; our gender is our sense of who we are as people,” explained Jessica Penwell Barnett, Ph.D., a parent and Associate Professor of Sexuality and Gender Studies at Wright State University. “And our sense of who we are as a person is affected by our upbringing, our life experiences, our society, our culture, our religion — all of those things.” Gender is a social construct, something that we, as humans, made up to make our lives easier. “It’s like a cognitive shortcut because it is too much to think about,” explained Barnett. “Our brain has too many other tasks to do so the rule of categories is to simplify our mental work.”

Now think about what it means to be a man or a woman. If you ask this question to different people, in different cultures and during different times in history, you will get different answers. Even as you think about your own gender identity, you probably recognize that it has changed over the course of your life. And the two gender categories of man and woman are not all that exist. There are examples of three, four, five or more gender categories in cultures around the world. (There’s an interactive map of gender diverse cultures available at www.pbs.org/independentlens/content/twospirits_map-html/.) In terms of how parents should approach talking about gender with their children, Barnett said for starters, don’t be afraid to do it. “Recognize that your child has been exposed to binary genders and heterosexuality from birth, so they’ve got lots of solid exposure there. A little bit of

According to Kris Wise, a therapist with Ally Counseling & Consulting, LLC in Fort Wayne, children begin recognizing gender differences as early as age three. “It is critical not only for parents to speak with their children about gender identity, but also recognize the need of preparing children for many social constructs within our society,” he said. One way to start talking with your child about gender identity is to have conversations about books or other media. When there are characters assuming roles based on gender, ask critical questions to find out what your child thinks about such expectations. “Engaging curiously with children is key to their development and insightful about their thoughts and feelings of who they are and how they are experiencing the world around them,” said Wise. “Parents should be prepared to learn from their children how they themselves have verbally and nonverbally communicated their unique expression of their gender and gender identity.” Jenna Shock, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Cameron Psychiatry in Angola, comes at the subject of gender identity from a professional and personal perspective. She has cared for transgender patients, including many adolescents, and is a mother to an 18-year-old transgender daughter. As a nurse practitioner, Shock has counseled parents who struggle with gender spectrums because of their values or religious beliefs. She reminds them, “They are going to be who they are regardless of whether or not you are okay with it.”

Children who are struggling with their gender will be looking for all the reasons that they will not be accepted before they share their identity with others. “For parents, the importance lies | JUNE GLO 2022 |

firmly in the establishment of the understanding that you love your child no matter what,” said Shock. “We cannot count on the knowledge in ourselves that we love them… we have to verbalize that.” Caring for transgender youth and adults in her practice, Shock has seen firsthand how destructive lack of acceptance can be. “It is one thing for random people in society not to accept you, but to not be accepted by those whose ultimate job it is to love and protect you - that causes long term damage to self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence.” All that damage leads to higher risks for substance abuse, risky behaviors, diminished career potential, and much higher risk of suicide. Shock said that transgender youth and young adults attempt suicide at a rate of over 40 percent. However, if there is an accepting parent in their lives, the rate drops down close to four or five percent. Shock said she knows that talking to children about gender identity might be difficult, but she encourages parents to do their best. Her daughter Jacqueline expressed a similar sentiment. “You don’t have to be perfect or get names and pronouns right every time to start,” she said. “Just try and be there for them, make sure they know you are there for them, in their corner and all that.”

that delivers more The website genderspectrum.org has some good tips to get you started on your gender conversations: • Be proactive about talking about gender; you don’t need to wait for your child to bring it up or for an incident to arise. • Ask questions--this is a great way to hear the ideas kids already have about gender. • Talk about yourself, or things you encounter related to gender, so that children can express their thoughts without having to talk about themselves.

• When you see media depicting gender, ask questions that encourage critical thinking: “Why is the mom the one making dinner and serving it?” “Who is strong in that show?” “Who is kind?” • Read and talk about books that address gender. • Be conscious about how you praise kids. Girls are often praised for their clothes or hairstyle, or for being sweet or kind, while boys are often praised for being big, or tough or independent. If you hear this type of praise coming from other adults, think about joining in with other types of praise. • Question and explore your own biases. For example, how do you feel about boys who wear nail polish and girls who want to shop in the boy’s department for clothes? What messages about gender expression were you given as a child?

• Mix up gender language when reading stories to your kids. • For most kids, experimenting with gender will be just that - exploration and play. For some kids, though, it may feel more intense. If your child is insistent about their gender in ways that are outside of societal norms, they may be telling you something. a

FEATURE | We Love Your Style

We Love Your Style By Amber Bouthot Photos by John Ilang-ilang

Each month, we highlight someone whose style we admire. If you know someone we should consider featuring, email ambouthot@the-papers.com. This month, it’s Sophia Schrage and Paul Lindsay. When they are not working as an architect and business systems analyst, respectively, they can be found spending time with their fur babies or enjoying one of their hobbies. They love board games, archery, puzzles, traveling, taking walks in the neighborhood, and getting a drink at one of their favorite restaurants. They live with Mr. Watson, their curmudgeonly, but lovable, cocker spaniel; their two cats, Eileen and Junipurr; and about 110 houseplants.

How would you describe your style? We like a blend of traditional and transitional styles of interior design. We have picked pieces that have personal value, and many of our style choices embrace the home’s original features and warm tones. For example, we lean into gold accents over silver ones to compliment the warmth of the original hardwood floors. Another aspect of this is our use of various wood pieces as the primary furniture material, as opposed to metals or glass.

Despite being an older home (100+ years), the main floor is surprisingly open. With this in mind, we try to arrange our home to create smaller spaces that foster connections and conversation, without splitting things up. Living spaces should be filled with life, so integrating plants through-

out our home is important to us and ties spaces together.

Tell us a little about each of the areas you chose to highlight. Why did you choose them? What makes them your faves? We chose spaces that we spend the most time in together. Living Room: Because the living room is a central space, style elements from each adjacent room are pulled together to complement each other. For example, organic patterns of the couch cushions and rugs mirror the fabrics of the dining chairs, and paint colors and textures in the living room can be found throughout the house. Downstairs Solarium: One of our favorite spaces is the downstairs solarium (yes, there are two!), which houses many of our favorite plants. We love the sunlight that comes in through the windows, especially in the late afternoon. You’ll often catch one of us lounging on the bench with a glass of wine or a good book, or at least a pet curled up, basking in the sun. Dining Room: The dining room was the first space where we really focused our design energy. There is a family tradition to have a picnic table in the dining room, and we wanted to pay homage to that, while respecting our own style. Even though there are only two of us living in the house, it

| JUNE GLO 2022 |

was important to have a table that could seat a crowd. In fact, within three weeks of moving in, we hosted both of our families for Thanksgiving at this very table. This is the space where we come together with friends and family to tell stories, eat, and socialize. All the walls in this space feature art that is significant to us and were picked because they create great conversation.

Kitchen: We both enjoy cooking and baking, so we spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen. It also isn’t unusual for friends and family to gather in the kitchen with us while we whip something up. This led us to renovate it in the last couple years to make it more functional and, since it is such a small space, more bright and open.

6040 Innovation Blvd. Fort Wayne, IN 46818 (260) 423-9577 shopwkbw.waynepipe.com

Master Bedroom: While most of our spaces are designed with hosting guests in mind, our bedroom was intended just for us. The room is subdued with more gray and blue tones, which is calming after a long day. We incorporated personal touches while maintaining a cohesive style with the rest of the house. The gallery wall is one of the first things we wake up to, and it features mostly local artists, many of whom are our good friends.

When you think of your home, what’s the feeling you hope your family and visitors have? We want people to be excited to come back. We love hosting, so a bright and welcoming feel is important.

What’s your favorite color? It depends on the day and the application. We like styling our home in neutrals with pops of jewel tones and gold accents. But we can’t say we have a favorite. a

Saving for a Vacation By Lauren Caggiano

As the country and world have opened up in recent months, you might find yourself eager to plan a much-deserved vacation. Vacations are good for the body and soul — and it’s possible to pay for them without going onto debt. Carrie Lamb, a financial advisor with Edward Jones, is no stranger to helping people see goals like these to fruition. It’s just a matter of being strategic. “Any financial goal that you have, we can figure out a date you want to achieve it by,” she said. “And then we backtrack how much you need to save per month. We can even break it down by week. “ For instance, say someone wants to save $10,000 for a European vacation. By breaking the goals down into smaller, manageable pieces, it’s possible to tackle them without feeling overwhelmed. The mechanics are usually where there’s variability and it’s a matter of preference. “It’s all about behavioral money management,” Lamb said. “Some are capable of not touching easily accessible savings, while others need to have the money they are saving in a less accessible spot so they don’t spend it. This could mean putting it in a savings account that isn’t linked to a checking account with overdraft protection or in a brokerage account with an investment advisor like me.” 24

| JUNE GLO 2022 |

Practically speaking, it also helps to work with other professionals on the front end so that you can have a more accurate idea of how much things cost. Lamb knows travel agents who can provide this insight. She said oftentimes people are surprised by how affordable certain expenses are, especially when traveling overseas. Plus, they can expand your horizons. Give your travel agent your anticipated vacation budget and a list of the types of activities your family enjoys, and they’ll come back to you with options you might not have considered. Plus, agents are privy to special resort and travel package promotions that you can’t get on your own. Regardless of whether you plan the trip on your own or with help, you need to be honest with yourself about what’s feasible. For some, saving for a nice vacation might present some sacrifices and people might want to consider making lifestyle modifications. For example, it may or may not make sense to get a part-time job to save for

a vacation. Ultimately, the person must decide what move is best for them. Sometimes that means cutting back on discretionary spending in certain areas. “I think it depends how badly you want to go and what you’re willing to sacrifice,” she said. “Let’s say you get breakfast and an artisan coffee on your way to work every morning. That could add up to $50 a week. If you cut back to coffee and breakfast twice a week, you still get to splurge, but you also have also freed up $30 to put towards that vacation.” Last, Lamb suggests checking in with yourself periodically about your values. What ranks highly on your list? A nice home? Spending time with family? Having a robust emergency fund? Entertainment? Hobbies? Philanthropy? All of the above? When you’re in touch and honest with yourself about priorities, you can build these expenses into your budget automatically. So, if travel is important, you might be intentional in your savings. a

Taking the Plunge

UNDERSTAND THE POOL MARKET – BEFORE YOU DIVE IN By Julie Young

Summer and swimming go together like bacon and eggs, but in recent years, the pool market has been red hot, and those looking to dive in find themselves with a long wait to get in the water. Before you take the plunge, get up to speed on the industry and find out what you need to know. According to Christine Hill at Hillside Pools, homeowners looking to build a pool will find that many of the local builders are sold out for the 2022 season, and some are partially sold out through 2023. Between supply issues and (pandemic) demand, the industry is facing an unprecedented backlog for both in ground and above ground models. “If you find a builder who can still commit to a pool this year, do your homework to be sure they are credible,” Hill said. 30

| JUNE GLO 2022 |

While all segments of the pool industry are running strong right now, there are several backups from suppliers to new building materials, as well as replacement equipment to retail. With demand outstripping supply right now, the industry is also facing a huge increase in the cost of goods that is difficult to keep up with — especially when trying to plan for builds a year or two out. In some cases, it’s been next to impossible to give accurate estimates. The wait times are also disheartening to homeowners who have saved their money and made the decision to install a pool of their own. “We understand that they have probably been dreaming and planning for a pool for many years, and it can be a real letdown to know that we can’t build their dream pool for one-to-two years when they want it sooner,” Hill said, noting that this dream may lead some homeowners to an unscrupulous firm who promises more than they can deliver in the current climate.

No matter when you move forward with your pool build, the price is going to vary on a lot of factors including size, style, features, and more. While there are a few different financing options available, the price increases of 2022 and beyond are not insignificant. Hill said the average install for a vinyl liner, in ground pool is around $75,000, but she expects that to be a lot higher next year with fiberglass and concrete-style pools also experiencing inflated costs. However, with so many homeowners investing in their homes and planning staycations, a pool is an attractive amenity for summer fun, and she expects the ancillary demands to continue fueling business for some time to come. “Because of all the new pools being built locally, we’ve seen huge increases in the need for services like spring openings, fall closings, new equipment, and liner replacements. The need for proper water chemistry and water testing is also on the rise, coupled with shortages in that area as well. Managing the supply chain has been a new challenge for us in the past couple of years, but we’re working hard to keep up with everyone!” Hill said. a

Grillin’ Chillin’ and

By Deborah C. Gerbers

June is upon us, full of sunshine, warm breezes, and the beautiful summer weather we’ve been waiting for all winter long. Freshly mown grass and backyard patios are beckoning, welcoming us yet again to another season of outdoor living! Read on for our tips and tricks for easy summertime barbecues and cookouts. Keep the Menu Simple Summer days are long and lazy, meant to be enjoyed with relaxation to the max—so fretting over complicated dinner parties and menus is not the theme for easy at-home cookouts and backyard get-togethers. Plan a simple menu using local, easy-to-find produce and meats that are readily available in your area. Here are some sample menus with components and marinades that can mix-and-match, are relatively affordable, and require little prep/cooking time: Grilled Main/Meat options: • Chicken breast/thighs • Salmon filets • Sirloin strip or T-bone steaks • Whole pork tenderloin Marinades: • Teriyaki • Lemon/garlic/pepper • Blackened seasoning or dry rub Side/Salads: • Cubed watermelon with feta cheese and mint • Relish of fresh corn cut from the cob with onion and jalapeño 32

| JUNE GLO 2022 |

• Cucumber, peaches and dill relish • Cold bean salad with rinsed and drained red kidney, garbanzo and black beans The Right Cooking Equipment A grill is a versatile piece of equipment that can be found in all price ranges and for all levels of cooking experience. From the basic Weber charcoal grill, to a top-of-the-line infrared propane grill, to the well-known and well-reputed Big Green Egg, you can find something to fit your lifestyle. Colliers Fireplace Shoppe in Warsaw carries several big-name brands for Fort Waynearea customers, with everything you need for a great summertime backyard cookout. Colliers carries Big Green Egg, Napoleon, Ambiance, and Louisiana Grills. Grilling is an easy way to prepare delicious food outdoors without heating up your house—plus, there’s very little cleanup afterward. To prolong the life of your grill, whatever option you choose, keep it clean, brushing the grates regularly after each time you grill to reduce carbon and sugar buildup from sauces and marinades. Also make sure to cover your grill once it has cooled down to protect it from wind and rain. You can also use stainless steel polish for the exterior surfaces.

Also—be sure to check your propane tank before you start grilling… you don’t want to have to stop cooking midway through to either refill the tank at the store or worse, be forced to finish cooking indoors. Be Relaxed and Enjoy Yourself! Finally, don’t forget to have fun! You’re having friends and family over for a good time and to enjoy each other’s company outside in the gorgeous summer weather, not to stress out over seating charts or complicated food. a

m o o R y l i m a F s ’ Kelly After

This month’s Reader DIY project comes from Kelly O’Banion. She and her husband, Tim, recently remodeled their outdated family room.

What was your inspiration for the project? Our family room was our least liked room. It was dark in there with brown shag carpet and dark wood paneling. It just felt dated. We knew it was time for a big update. We changed it from a primitive style to a modern farmhouse look. My husband removed the paneling, and painted the doors, fireplace, walls, and ceiling white. He put up new blinds, door hardware, chair rails, and flooring. We did have an electrician come in for the recessed lighting part. How long did it take from start to finish? It took three weeks even with his full-time job. What was the total cost of the project? $6,000 for the entire room, ceiling to floor with furniture and home decor. What did you like best about the undertaking? Knowing how much brighter and refreshed the room would look, and now it’s one of our favorite rooms. It has a cottage feel and looks adorable in person. We have gotten many compliments. What was the most challenging aspect? The most challenging is that he painted the wall and hearth a few times. We kept changing our minds about whether it should be gray or white. He even painted the hearth gray and back to white. Where did you source the materials? Lowes, Hobby Lobby, Canvas Prints and Comforts of Home for furniture and decor. a

Glamping.com

If you’re looking for a pre-packed, no hassle glamping experience, these sites can help:

Glamping By Amber Bouthot

We are tired of hearing about it, but COVID-19 has impacted every area of our lives, including our ability to travel. Because of this, many people turned to camping to get away while remaining safe. But tent camping isn’t for everyone. More and more, people are looking for a “glamping” experience: glamour + camping= glamping! Glamping became popular in the early 2010s, but COVID propelled it to a new level of popularity. It has become so popular that several websites have popped up offering exclusive and luxurious glamping experiences. We’ve outlined some below. If you’re looking to stay a little closer to our region, there are many ways you can create your own glamping experience. Here are some tips: 1. Buy or rent a travel trailer or pop-up camper and reserve a camping site at a local campground or state park. Indiana is blessed with a plethora of them, and a simple Google search will get you on the right track. 2. Outfit your unit with comfy bedding and pillows to make you feel pampered. Just because you are camping doesn’t mean you should be without the comforts of home.

Glamping.com “Glamping is about stepping off the beaten path, walking away from superficial tourist activities and embracing an immersive cultural environment. Some call it luxury camping. Some call it glamorous camping. Either way, Glamping.com is dedicated to inspiring and guiding those who are seeking a different kind of trip, the kind that encourages cultural immersion, a broadening of horizons, and a deeper engagement with one’s surroundings with enjoying this upscale approach to sleeping under the stars. Each property in their collection is hand-selected and meets an established set of standards to be listed. As a result, visitors can trust that every destination they uncover will provide a truly unique and unforgettable travel experience.”

Glampinghub.com

Glampinghub.com “Glamping Hub is one of the world’s leading luxury camping websites. Find glamping spots all over the world; ranging from pet-friendly hotels or eco-friendly hotels, glamping retreats & getaways. With inventory perfect for family vacations, romantic getaways, and near top solo travel destinations, Glamping Hub is where to book. Read Glamping Hub reviews, reserve your dates, and then head for the best glamping weekends possible!”

3. If your unit has a TV and DVD player, plan a movie night. Bring a box of your favorite movies and pack up some microwave popcorn. 4. Load up on smores. A new twist on the classic favorite is to substitute Reese peanut butter cups for the traditional chocolate bar. 5. Pack a portable hammock. There’s nothing better than relaxing under the stars in a comfy hammock.

Hipcamp.com

Hipcamp.com “Hipcamp is a growing community of good-natured people and the most comprehensive resource for unique outdoor stays. By connecting people with the land and each other, Hipcamp works to support those who care for the land and get more people out under the stars. We do this because we believe humans in nature bring out the best of human nature.” KOA.com “KOA has glamping options for every type of camper at a wide array of travel destinations. Traditional camping trips are exciting and adventurous, but sometimes campers want a little more luxury. Everyone can benefit from an ulta-relaxing getaway. Glamping is also the perfect way to recharge after a long day of sightseeing, hiking and enjoying the outdoors.” a 36

HOME LIVING | Support Small

A Father’s Love lives on in popcorn business By Jennie Renner

When Lindsey Hively was just 18 years old, she and her dad, Gary, opened Kernel Coladas, now Poptique Popcorn, in Columbia City. Gary was a partner in the business from the beginning, but he said it was Lindsey’s “brainchild.” Lindsey may have gotten some of her enterprising spirit from her dad, who also owns a vacuum cleaner store and a carpet cleaning business. Lindsey would read his business books as a child, and she set up a little stand along the side of the road trying to sell rocks. “I kinda feel like she came out of the womb an entrepreneur,” said Gary. In June 2014, Poptique opened a second shop in the Jefferson Pointe shopping center. In September of that year, Lindsey was diagnosed with cancer. In April 2015, Lindsey died at the age of 27; she would have been 35 years old this July. Lindsey really wanted to have a shop in downtown Fort Wayne after doing pop-up shops there in 2012 and 2013. In her last text exchange with her dad, she said she had been contacted by the organization opening the City Exchange Shops 38

| JUNE GLO 2022 |

on Wayne Street. They were doing an open house and wanted to know if Lindsey would be there. “And so I texted back, ‘yes, we will be there,’” said Gary. Those final words to his daughter have fueled him to continue Lindsey’s legacy. He kept his promise, and opened a Poptique Popcorn on Wayne Street where it has been since recently moving around the corner to a location on Calhoun Street. In 2008, when they first opened, there weren’t many popcorn shops in Indiana; now there are about 200. To stand out, Gary said he focuses on quality. “We don’t cut any corners when we make our stuff, so it is more expensive, but people who appreciate quality get that.” Poptique was doing a fair number of weddings until the COVID-19 pandemic shut those down. More recently, Gary has concentrated on increasing his commercial customer base. Poptique just started supplying popcorn for the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo. They will be delivering regular buttered popcorn throughout the week as the zoo needs it to keep their stores supplied. “It’s hard to say, if she were still alive, where (Poptique Popcorn) would be, because we lost

a lot of her creative spirit,” said Gary. “I’ve never seen anybody with as much drive as she had.” At a memorial service after she died, Gary saw pictures and videos of Lindsey that he had never seen before because they were taken by her friends. That night, he had a revelation: “Here’s a girl that lived 80 years of life in 27. She liked to have fun, but yet she worked her butt off. I think we’d probably have ten different stores around the area (if Lindsey were still alive),” said Gary. “This was her dream.” a Poptique Popcorn Columbia City 120 W.
