Cool Tunes for a Hot Summer,
at Friday Nights Live
As an event that attracts more than
5 million visitors throughout the
concert series, Friday Nites Live is
back at Jefferson Pointe, with a few
updates from previous years.
This years series will feature 15
bands. The nite starts in the center
courtyard of Jefferson Pointe, each
Friday, from now until September,
with music beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Sponsored by Lutheran Health
Network, the series additionally
offers restaurant discounts after the
show. Smokey Bones and
OCharleys are just two of the
restaurants that offer specials post-
concert.
The concert series, which has
been running for nearly a decade,
has acquired a large following.
Many Friday nights, open parking
spaces at the outdoor mall are few
and far between.
The Fort Wayne community has
enjoyed the Friday Nites Live
concert series for years, Maria
Didier, the marketing and guest
service coordinator at Jefferson
Pointe said. It is a wonderful time
for people of all ages to enjoy great
summer entertainment in a natural
outdoor setting.
The setting of the concert series
adds the main attraction.
People love the opportunity to
listen to music while shopping or
before going to dinner. Anyone can
bring a lawn chair or gather around
our fountain area benches to enjoy
the sensational sound of the bands,
she said, adding that refreshments

TRF brings
Sights and Sounds
of Summer
The ringing sound
of the ice cream
truck going through
the neighborhood
might be a familiar
noise from now until
September, but this
seasons Three
Rivers Festival
theme, Sights and
Sounds of Summer,
shows that fun in
the summer sun
doesnt always
involve leaving the
city.
The Festival Parade, presented by Lutheran Health
Network, will begin the festivities on Saturday, July 9, at
9:45 a.m. Approximately 130 groups and organizations
will participate in the parade, which will be led by the
Voices of Unity Choir. The event will also be shown live
on Indianas NewsCenter.
When the parade begins, the parade floats and
marchers will go two miles through downtown and the
West Central Neighborhood, according to the TRF
website. The event usually takes nearly two hours to
commence.

Making the real connection to
history at Karpeles Museum
The Karpeles Manu-
script Library Museum
may be one of Fort
Waynes newer historical
attractions, but the
building is over a century
old. Its unassuming, brick
exterior plays a trick on
visitors, revealing its sun-
drenched interior, bursting
through original stained
glass windows when the
sun sits just right in the
sky.
Like the museum, its
current exhibit is modest
in size but remarkable,
detailing the abolition of
slavery through original
documents. Only 14 pages
of Harriet Beecher
Stowes hand-written
manuscript of Uncle
Toms Cabin still exist,
one of them on display at
the museum. Nearby, a
page from the Pulitzer
Prize winning Roots
novel sits underneath its
protective glass case. The
pages ink markings show
how Alex Haley omitted,
added and rearranged his
words to create a story
that changed America.
Perhaps the most
striking of all the exhibits
documents comes from
Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., who felt he needed to
say more in his We Shall
Overcome speech. His
handwritten notes read as
powerfully as King once
spoke them more than 40
years ago.
The Abolition of
Slavery Exhibit is just one
of many rotating exhibits

Homestead Graduate
Receives Lilly Scholarship
Tanner Crandall was given quite a
surprise when two representatives from
the Lilly Foundation showed up at his
school this year and presented him with a
scholarship in front of his peers.
The former Homestead High School
student was awarded a prestigious Lilly
Endowment Scholarship by the represen-
tatives.
The award, which provides a full
academic ride, will cover tuition and
books for Crandall at Butler University,
where he plans to double major in
economics and Spanish, with the long-
term goal of going into dentistry or
orthodontics.
Applying for the scholarship required
him to do some searching and waiting.
He basically found out about it online
through school, his mother, Leslie Cran-
dall, said. He had to submit [the
application] just to the school. Theres a
committee at the school and then it goes
on to the Lilly Foundation.
They look at activities, grades, need,
your academics. Everything. You write
something, too, she said.
Leslie Crandall said the motto of the
scholarship is to try to keep the best and
the brightest in the state of Indiana.
He was also awarded a scholarship
from PHP, made for students who are
pursuing health-related fields.
During high school, Crandall was
immersed and involved in many events
and extracurricular activities. He partici-
pated in marching band for four years, as
well as Spanish club and the National
Honor Society. He ranked top ten in
bowling for the state of Indiana and addi-
tionally, he played tennis for all four
years. Crandall was an AP scholar and
was also on the distinguished honor
roll.

It was no accident when
two horses were left aban-
doned at Johnny
Appleseed Park in April.
At the time it occurred, a
woman at the park saw a
trailer pull up and leave
the horses alone, uncon-
cerned with what would
become of them.
For weeks, Johnny and
Hope, as they were so
lovingly named by the
staff at Orchard Creek
Stables, were kept quaran-
tined as they recovered
from upper respiratory
infections. Today, they
have overcome most of
their illness and enjoy an
unlimited amount of hay
on which to feed and
hours to play in the arena
in northeast Fort Wayne.
Orchard Creek Stables
officially took ownership
of the abandoned horses
in June. Since day one,
barn manager Brittany
King has been their
primary caretaker. While
they may seem to have
improved, these horses
have a long way to go.
Its all gonna be really
expensive, King said.
She tallied up the costs of
needed veterinary care for
the both of them, settling
on around $600 per horse.
The monthly costs to feed
and board them runs
between $300-$400.
Were hoping to get
enough [money] just to
get started. They are so
malnourished that they eat
hay all day long.
The stables first found
out about the horses from
one of their riders, who
works at Allen County

They love each other. They are attached at the hip, said Brittany King, barn manager at Orchard Creek

helping children as therapeutic horses in the future.

More than 100 students
made National Achievers
Urban Leagues nation-
wide annually induct
minority scholars into the
National Achievers
Society. This year, the
Fort Wayne Urban League
inducted more than 100
students into the academic
society.
The primary goal of the
NAS, an academic society
of the National Urban
League, is to increase the
number of minority
students who are prepared
and qualified for higher
education and the work-
force. To be eligible,
minority scholars in
grades 6-12 needed a GPA
of 2.7 or higher.
As members, students
are eligible for national
scholarships and can
choose to participate in
the Urban Leagues
NULITES program, which
stands for National Urban
League Incentives To
Excel & Succeed.
NULITES is a program
designed to support and
mentor minority scholars.
Students agree to attend
regular workshops, partic-
ipate in service projects
and gain the leadership
skills needed for college
and career success.
National Achievers
Society is an important
way to celebrate the
accomplishments of
young minority scholars
and encourage them to
continue working hard,
said Urban League CEO
Jonathan Ray.
John Foster, director of
youth services for the Fort
Wayne Urban League,
said minority scholars
should take pride in their
academic accomplish-
ments and see the pride
others have in them.
The induction ceremony
was part of the Fort
Wayne Urban Leagues
plan to increase the
number of minority and
low-income students who
are college ready. The
league currently serves as
Allen Countys College
Success Coalition leader,
part of a statewide
campaign of the Indiana
Commission for Higher
Education to improve
college outcomes.
Organizations can join
the coalition by registering
at www.Learn
More.org/csc.
More than 100 area students were inducted into the National
Achievers Society on May 24, 2011 at Turner Chapel A.M.E. in Fort
Wayne.

Make the Right Moves with
Inherited Stocks
When you inherit a sizable
amount of stocks, your overall
financial picture can change
significantly. But to make the
most of your inheritance, you
need to decide what to do
with your new stocks. Should
you keep them or sell them?
Before you can answer this
question, you need to review
several factors, including the
following:
Diversification Youll
need to determine if an
inherited stock adds to your
overall portfolio diversifica-
tion. Do you already have
other, similar stocks in your
portfolio? If so, you might
want to sell the stock and use
the money for a new invest-
ment opportunity. Conversely,
if you dont own anything
similar to the inherited stock,
and it can help your diversify,
it may well be worth keeping.
While diversification, by itself,
cannot guarantee a profit or
protect against loss, it can help
reduce the effects of market
volatility.
Fundamentals Its a good
idea to closely scrutinize any
stocks you inherited. Do they
represent companies with
strong management teams,
good track records and
competitive products or
services? Or, as is sometimes
the case, did your benefactor
simply keep these stocks
because he or she had some
type of attachment to them?
Youll want to own quality
stocks for the right reasons.
Risk tolerance An
inherited stock may be either
too aggressive or too conserva-
tive for your preferences. If the
stock doesnt fit within your
risk tolerance, sell it and buy
an investment that does.
Taxes When you inherit
stocks, they are generally
valued at their market value on
the day your benefactor died,
not the date of the original
purchase. For example, if you
inherit stock that your father
bought for $20 a share, and its
worth $75 a share on the day
he dies, your cost basis
would be $75 a share. If you
sell the stock right away, youll
likely owe little or no income
taxes. If the price of the
inherited stock goes up before
you sell it, youll pay capital
gains tax on the difference
between $75 and the sale
price, at a maximum rate of
15% (at least for 2011 and
2012), no matter how long
youve held the stock. This is
advantageous for you;
typically, if you sell an appreci-
ated stock that youve held less
than a year, youd have to pay
capital gains taxes at your
normal income tax rate.
If you inherit stocks as part of
a traditional Individual
Retirement Account (IRA),
youll probably have to pay
taxes on withdrawals at your
income tax rate. However, you
may be able to spread with-
drawals over your lifetime,
which could result in more
tax-deferred growth and a
greater income stream. And if
you inherit a Roth IRA, you
wont have to pay income
taxes on any withdrawals,
provided the Roth IRA account
has been open for at least five
years.
If you need help in deter-
mining what to do with
inherited stocks, consult with
your financial advisor and tax
professional. After all, you are
acquiring an important asset
and you want to make this
asset work for you.

Feline pet adoption fees reduced in June
With the help of an Animal Care and Control Commis-
sion grant, feline adoptions in the month of June have
been reduced from $65 to $10 at Fort Wayne Animal
Care and Control.
It is part of the organizations Adopt-A-Cat Month,
which they have dubbed Feline Frenzy. In spring and
summer months, hundreds of adoptable cats and kittens
enter the shelter, and this program is a way to find them
homes with owners who could otherwise not afford to
adopt. The felines are healthy, vaccinated, spayed or
neutered.
We are doing our best to save more lives while easing
the upfront expenses of adding a pet to the family, a
spokesperson for ACC said. We encourage the commu-
nity to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity made
possible through this special grant.
With each adoption comes a free video, Training Your
Adopted Cat, to help families learn proper feline care.
The shelter will evaluate the programs success and hopes
to extend the offer beyond June as funding permits.
Adopt-A-Cat Month was created by American Humane
in an effort to promote cat and kitten adoptions. Adopt-A-
Cat Month is held annually in June, when shelters around
the country are inundated with litters of kittens in
desperate need of loving homes.
Experience life 3,000
years ago with Science
Centrals newest exhibit
Science Centrals
newest traveling exhibit,
Bible Times Tech,
which opened on June 11,
features the technology of
ancient Israel and the
Middle East. The interac-
tive exhibition allows
visitors to see what life
was like 3,000 years ago.
Visitors can also play
ancient board games,
write using ancient letters
and see what being a
shepherd is like, among
others activities.
The exhibition was
made by SciTech Hands
On Museum, located in
Illinois.
Bible Times Tech,
will also allow visitors to
learn about applied
science.
Technology is more
than just cell phones,
laptop computers and
microwave ovens, Martin
S. Fisher, the Executive
Director of Science
Central, said in a state-
ment.
If technology is merely
applied science, and if an
ancient civilization knows
how to build equipment
that makes cloth, or how
to shape and fire clay to
make a bowl, then they
have technology.
Science Central is open
Tuesday through Friday,
from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.;
Saturday, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.
and Sunday, noon- 5 p.m.
Admission is $7.

Animal Care and Control.
Orchard Creek picked
them up and have not
only been nursing them
back to health, but
acquainting Hope and
Johnny with people and
attention. King said she
could tell they were
grateful.
I love it, personally
working with them every
day, she said. King
gestured toward Hope,
whose nose poked over
the stable door, her big,
brown eyes looking
expectantly at King.
Shes coming around.
When we first brought her
in, she didnt know how
to lead, but watching her
progress feels really
good.
The first time King
offered Johnny a treat, he
didnt know what to do
with it. He didnt know
what it was, so when you
held out your hand, he
would take it in his mouth
and spit it back out, King
said. After a bit of
coaxing, Johnny took the
treat, clearly enjoying the
new luxury. He started
digging in my pockets.
He ate all my treats that
day.
It is moments like that
King said are the little
things taken for granted
each day. While Hope and
Johnny will never be
riding horses, seeing their
positive changes in
behavior and health have
inspired the staff of
Orchard Creek to give the
horses purpose in helping
others.
The stables are working
to create a nonprofit in
which Hope and Johnny
would help physically
handicapped, abused and
neglected children. Their
story makes it a natural
connection for children
who are also struggling to
overcome obstacles or
need a place to heal.
People just gravitate
towards them because
theyve heard about them
and they obviously need
love, King said. We
kind of want them to be
the communitys horses -
everyone come and love
them. They were really
neglected, so we want to
make them the most loved
horses in Fort Wayne
instead of the least.
While Johnny could
soon be ready to partici-
pate in a therapeutic
program, Hope will need
more time and both still
require procedures to
become healthy. Orchard
Creek Stables need help
to get the horses where
they need to be so they
may one day help chil-
dren in the community.
Within the next year,
Orchard Creek hopes to
have established its
nonprofit organization to
accept donations for the
program. For now, dona-
tions to help care for
Hope and Johnny can be
made directly to Orchard
Creek Stables, 7919
Wheelock Road, Fort
Wayne, IN 46835 by cash
or check. For more infor-
mation, call King or head
trainer Kirsten Saldivar at
260-492-0405.

nonprofit in the works at Orchard Creek Stables.

Radio personality Char
Binkleys voice is so
distinguishable to long-
time listeners that as she
hiked on a trail in the
Rocky Mountains,
passers-by from Fort
Wayne recognized her
voice and introduced
themselves. After 35 years
in the business, listeners
have come to know her
voice well and on May 27,
Binkley used it to say
goodbye to them during
her Mid-Morning talk
show.
Of all her accomplish-
ments in the last three
decades, Binkley said
hosting the daily talk
radio show has been the
highlight of her career.
She has interviewed over
5,500 authors on the
program, helping
hundreds of listeners over
the years, their letters a
testimonial to how those
interviews helped them in
parenting, marriage, adop-
tion, sexual addiction and
health issues.
A WBCL employee
since its inception in
1976, Binkley got her start
there as director of
womens programming.
After she promoted to
assistant manager, Binkley
moved on as executive
director of the WBCL
Radio Network, a position
she held for 21 years. In
2006, Binkley resigned as
executive director, but
maintained the Mid-
Morning talk show and,
with the support WBCL,
eventually founded
Remedy.FM, a worldwide
Internet station for
teenagers.
Under Binkleys leader-
ship, WBCL grew from its
flagship station in Fort
Wayne to include stations
in the Lima and Archbold,
Ohio areas. In that time,
additional translators were
located in Muncie, Ind.
and Adrian, Mich., broad-
ening WBCLs reach to a
wider audience.
In 1978, Binkley
founded A Day Away, a
seminar that has attracted
over 35,000 women from
the tri-state area in its
twenty-plus years. She has
served on several national
boards, including the
National Religious Broad-
casters, the American
Bible Society and the Key
Life Network.
Many have wondered
why Binkley never moved
on to larger networks or
national organizations
throughout the years.
However, when given the
opportunity to do so,
Binkley put it simply.
Why would I ever want
to leave when I have the
best job, in the best
place?

Beef Tri-Tip
Californias Best Kept Secret!
Ingredients:
1 package of
Sandys Special Spice Butt Rub
1 Tri-Tip Roast from Custom
Quality Meats
Serves 4.
Tri-Tip is referred to as a steak, but because it is thick it needs to be cooked like a
roast. Tri-Tip is a bottom sirloin roast that is lean when trimmed and is very versatile.
The flavor is great! The tenderness is not what you would find in a T-bone or ribeye,
but is still very good.
Instructions:
1. Rub the meat with your favorite seasonings or with Sandys
Special Spice Butt Rub.
2. Create a hot zone for cooking and cooler one for finishing
the meat slowly.
3. Grill it low and slow.
4. Cook for approximately 1 hour.
5. Carve against the grain of the meat.
Serve as is or use for salads, enchiladas, tacos or fajitas.

Dentist out to prove
education can lead to
a brighter smile
Fort Wayne dentist Dr. Mark Stetzel believes he knows
the trick to improving the oral health of children, and it
has little to do with the policy benchmarks that led a
national research group to give Indiana a failing grade.
In word, its education, and Stetzel and two of his local
colleagues have been traveling the state without compen-
sation to enlighten dentists and pediatricians and
through them, parents about the importance of early
intervention.
The local dentists efforts are part of a statewide initia-
tive called Born To Smile that Stetzel co-founded and
piloted in northeast Indiana. The clinical foundation of
the educational campaign: Give a child a fluoride varnish
treatment after the appearance of baby teeth around
the age of 1 and the risk of decay will be significantly
minimized for the rest of their life, Stetzel said.
The Pew thing, he said, I guess I welcome the atten-
tion its going to bring. But you find nothing (in the
report) about education and parental involvement with
oral health.
The report hes referring to was issued in late May by
the Pew Center on the States, a division of the Pew Chari-
table Trusts, a national public policy research think tank.
Pew listed Indiana as one of only five states receiving an
F for efforts to improve childrens dental health.
Pew judged states in these categories: share of high-
risk schools with dental sealant programs; hygienists
ability to place sealants without a dentists prior exam;
share of residents linked to fluoridated community water
supplies; share of Medicaid-enrolled children getting
dental care; share of dentists median retail fees reim-
bursed by Medicaid; medical providers paid by Medicaid
for early preventive dental health care; authorization for
new primary care dental providers; and tracking data on
childrens dental health.
According to Pew, Indiana met or exceeded national
By Rick Farrant
rfarrant@fwbusiness.com
See SMILE, page A11
standards for only two benchmarks: resi-
dents with fluoridated water supplies
(94.5 percent) and Medicaid-enrolled
children getting dental care (47.4
percent).
Stetzel, former president of the Indiana
Dental Association, and Doug Bush, the
associations executive director, dont
agree with the rating, but acknowledge
that improvements in the states response
to childrens dental health are needed.
I dont know that our disagreement is
relevant, because there is a problem,
Bush said. There are kids out there that
we are failing, and in that sense there are
some steps that need to be done. Forget
the letter grade. We need to focus on
areas of improvement.
Andy Snyder, a Pew Childrens Dental
Campaign researcher who worked on the
national dental report card, said Stetzel
and Bush are correct to concentrate on
improvements, and he believes the eight
benchmarks are the most critical areas
because they are proven, research-based
policies. Educational initiatives, while
important, do not have the same kind of
evidence-based results, he said.
Stetzel and Bush do support some of
the benchmarks. They said developing an
assessment tracking mechanism would
help lead to sound data-based strategies,
and both agree that low Medicaid reim-
bursements pose a significant hurdle
toward improving childrens oral health
by threatening access to care.
Thats not Stetzels only problem with
Medicaid: He said the Medicaid system
does not specifically provide adequate
reimbursements for oral hygiene educa-
tion in Indiana and, by its free-service
nature, does not demand that parents or
caregivers monitor childrens dental
health at home.
People think, My dentistry is free. I
guess I dont have to worry about my
kids anymore. Ive got Medicaid.
We should make (Medicaid) moms
pay a dollar on five dollars some kind
of sacrifice to appreciate the value of the
service, Stetzel said. The 100-percent
free thing: I just dont think thats the
answer.
Medicaid, he said, is spending
millions to have holes in teeth filled, but
its not investing in the educational
component to intercept the holes. Were
not instilling in kids or caregivers the
desire to achieve oral health.
In lieu of that, the state dental associa-
tion started two education programs
the fluoride-centered Born To Smile
(www.borntosmile.org) campaign for very
young children and Drinks Destroy

Dr. Mark Stetzel of Fort Wayne co-founded a statewide Born To Smile program that stresses oral
health education in the prevention of tooth decay.
Photo by Rick Farrant
Teeth (www.drinksdestroyteeth.org),
which targets school-age childrens
propensity to consume enamel-damaging,
sugar-laden acidic drinks.
The aim of both programs is to
promote partnerships between dental
professionals and parents. Drinks
Destroy Teeth education begins in class-
rooms. Born To Smile education begins
with dentists and pediatricians, although
thats not how it started.
In 2008, Stetzels Born To Smile
pilot focused on sending oral health care
kits to parents in 10 northeast Indiana
counties along with a coupon for a free
dental assessment and fluoride treatment
for their young children.
But only 2 to 3 percent of the parents
took advantage of the coupons. So
Stetzel, Dr. Benjamin Yoder of Fort
Wayne and Dr. Caroline Derrow of
Auburn began traveling the state to
educate dentists and pediatric physicians
about early intervention and encourage
them to, in turn, educate parents.
There is no budget for the Born To
Smile program, and Stetzel is hoping
that some money can be secured to raise
awareness of the campaign or help
Indiana partner with another state that has
a more established program.
Right now, he said, the (Indiana)
program is kind of floundering.
But Stetzel has no plans to give up.
I hate to see what happens when kids
have bad teeth, Stetzel said. I see adult
patients who had a mouthful of cavities
as kids and now theyre basically dental
cripples. Id love to see that stopped at
the source.

the concert, the radio station draws two
instant winners, she said.
The bands and performing groups that
play are selected carefully before each
season.
We receive numerous audition CDs
and requests from bands to participate,
Didier said.
It is remarkable to see how many
bands want to play at this concert series.
We love it, she said.
Three new bands will be on this years
stage: Allan & Ashcraft (formerly known
as Shake n Bake), The Remony, and

country. In Fort Wayne,
the Karpeles Museum first
opened in 2008, the year
of the buildings 100th
anniversary.
Its a beautiful place to
connect with history, said
Jan Cave, who works on
Tuesdays at the museum.
She loves the building as
much as the artifacts it
houses. Just the setting
here is so beautiful. When
you see something and
you know that it was
really written by that
person, you just say
Wow, and its the real
connection.
During Caves museum
tour, a visitor arrived with
a bag of Civil War-era
artifacts to share. See
whats fun about this
job? Cave said. She sat
down with Julie and
Audrey Clark, a mother
and daughter, to hear the
story behind their find-
ings. Julie took a small,
square case out of the bag
and unlatched its fastener.
Inside, the case revealed a
velvet cushion opposite a
womans photo from
1864. It was a Civil War
soldiers keepsake to
remember his loved one
while at war.
The meeting was an
example of the museums
other purpose. Its a way
for people to find a place
for their treasures so they
arent destroyed, Cave
said.
On July 9, the museum
will join in on the Three
Rivers Festival celebration
with its 30th Indiana
Camps at the Karpeles.
Following the Three
Rivers parade around
noon, Civil War re-enac-
tors will be stationed at
their camp across the
street from the museum.
Inside, a parlor setting
will demonstrate Civil
War-era civilian life
including the ladies fash-
ions of the time. With the
Abolition of Slavery
exhibit as a backdrop,
dresses designed by Kay
Gnagey and Sue Pfeiffer
will be on display while
guests visit with soldiers
of the 30th Indiana.
The Karpeles Museum,
3039 Piqua Ave., is open
Tuesday through Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is always free.
For more information, call
the museum at 260-456-
6929 or go online to

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
The Arena Dinner
Theatre is back with an
ensemble cast to portray
one of Hollywoods most
memorable stories.
Based on the popular
1988 film, Dirty Rotten
Scoundrels is about two
con men living on the
French Riviera. The first
is the suave and sophisti-
cated Lawrence Jameson,
who makes his lavish
living by talking rich
ladies out of their money.
The other, a small-time
crook named Freddy
Benson, humbly swindles
women by waking their
compassion with fabri-
cated stories about his
grandmothers failing
health. After meeting on a
train, they unsuccessfully
attempt to work together
only to find that this small
French town isnt big
enough for the two of
them. They agree on a
settlement - the first one
to extract $50,000 from a
young female target,
heiress Christine Colgate,
wins and the other must
leave town. A comedic
battle of cons will keep
audiences laughing and
guessing to the end.
The show goes on at
Arena Dinner Theatre,
719 Rockhill St., June 10,
11, 17, 18, 24 and 25.
Door open at 6:15 p.m.
with a cash bar. Dinner is
served prior to the
performance at 7 p.m. and
the curtain goes up at 8
p.m. The price is $35 per
person and includes a
meal prepared by the
Bagel Station. A vege-
tarian meal is offered in
place of other entrees.

Allen County
SPCA delivers
pounds for
pounds
Since a deadly tornado ripped through the midwestern
town of Joplin, Mo. on May 22, the death toll has
reached more than 140 and could continue its climb. At
least 900 others were injured in the natural disaster. As
residents and volunteers begin the rebuilding process,
officials continue to search for the missing.
For all those lost or displaced from their homes, there
are animals left without owners or unclaimed after being
separated from their families by the storm. A Facebook
page surpassing 16,000 members is using photo sites like
Flickr, blogs and area adoption programs to spread the
word about animals recovered who need adoption or
reuniting. More than 600 miles away in Allen County,
Ind., a local organization remembered these needy
animals with a recent donation of 1,600 pounds of dog
and cat food.
When Mistyna Reiter, a staff member at the Allen
County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
heard radio station 93.3-FM was stuffing a bus full of
food and supplies for families in need in Joplin, she
asked how the shelter could help.
Allen County SPCA Executive Director Sofia Mirwaldt
said they called the radio station and learned the truck
had room for pet food donations, so they loaded a van
with dog and cat food and added to their supply.
Our community here is so generous, we had to share
our overage with those families that are in such a
desperate situation due to the tornadoes, Mirwaldt said.
Officials estimate more than 500 animals have so far
been rescued since the EF4 tornado plowed six miles
through Joplin. While many items are needed not only for
animals, but additional recovery efforts, the Indiana
Department of Homeland Security recently advised the
best way to help disaster survivors is with a cash dona-
tion to a legitimate relief agency such as the American
Red Cross. Cash donations allow voluntary agencies to
obtain needed items, which are constantly changing in
emergency situations.
For information about how to assist with Missouri
relief efforts, visit the Missouri Emergency Management
Agency website. Information regarding other ways to
help can be found at
www.fema.gov/rebuild/recover/howtohelp.

Lacrosse catching on in
southwest Fort Wayne
Lacrosse has steadily
gained U.S. popularity in
recent years, becoming a
regularity in middle and
high school sports on the
east coast, but the game
continues to slowly make
itself known in other parts
of the country.
Lacrosse has even
caught on in Fort Wayne
and the SouthWest
Lacrosse Club is proof of
that. This season was the
first time the club entered
the Indy Open, the middle
school state championship
tournament, and took first
place.
They were all very
excited and we are very
proud of them, said Kim
Brown, founder and team
manager of SouthWest
Lacrosse Clubs middle
school boys team. We are
a club sport as of right
now, Brown continued.
There may come a time
when lacrosse is sanc-
tioned as a school sport.
Some of the teams in the
Indy area are sanctioned
now.
When Brown and her
family moved here from
Toledo, Ohio six years
ago, her son, Kirk, had
already played the sport
for seven years. She
helped start the Home-
stead boys team in 2005,
followed by the Home-
stead girls team in 2007
and the SouthWest middle
school boys team in
2009. Today, the South-
West Lacrosse Club has
the only girls high school
and middle school
lacrosse teams in the area.
The club is gearing up
for its seventh, week-long
summer camp June 20-24
from 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
That is how we got
involved last summer,

If you have ever walked
through the front door of
the Indiana State Police
Fort Wayne Post or made
a telephone call to its
office, chances are you
spoke to Lovilee Johnson.
This month, the state
police said goodbye to
their longtime ambassador
as she looked to retire-
ment to begin a new
chapter in her life.
Johnson is known by all
as Lovie, and has
enriched the lives of the
men and women she
worked with throughout
the years with her posi-
tive, upbeat and optimistic
attitude, the Fort Wayne
post said. By treating citi-
zens with kindness,
listening and offering
words of comfort, she has
both knowingly and
unknowingly diffused
many unpleasant situa-
tions brought to the post.
Born in Brickeys, Ark.,
Lovie moved with her
family to Fort Wayne
when she was very young
and was a 1959 graduate
of Central High School.
She was appointed to the
ISP on Feb. 11, 1974 as a
data input operator and
assigned to the original
Fort Wayne post on
Jefferson Boulevard. In
1979, Lovie applied for
and was granted a transfer
to the new Fort Wayne
post and was reassigned to
switchboard operator, a
position that she held until
the day of her retirement.
Throughout her career,
the Fort Wayne post has
had eight different district
commanders. One of them
was Major Gary Robbins,
who has known Johnson
for 33 years.
The Fort Wayne post
receives a tremendous
amount of calls, some-
times from emotional or
irate callers, yet Lovilees
cheerful personality, and
her ability to remain calm
and professional has
served her well in taking
or routing the calls to the
proper station, Robbins
said.
Johnson is the mother
of two children, Sandra,
51, who lives in Fort
Wayne, and Michael, 50,
who lives in Atlanta, Ga.
She also has two stepchil-
dren, Therron, 45 who
lives in Bethesda, Md.,
and Todd, 37, who lives in
Hammond, Ind.
Johnson and her
husband Joe look forward
to retirement to travel,
volunteer and spend time
with their eight grandchil-
dren.

Another LEED community for FWHA
The Fort Wayne Housing Authority
recently celebrated the grand opening of
Whispering Oaks, its newest senior
housing development.
The 24-unit apartment building is made
up of 700-square-foot, one-bedroom
homes designed for seniors who are at
least 62 years old. Monthly rent of each
unit is based on individual, monthly
income and priced to fit the budgets of
lower-income seniors. Accessibility
features were built into each apartment,
which include refrigerator, stove and
microwave-equipped kitchens, along with
washer and dryer connections.
The senior community on Fort Waynes
south side is certified under the umbrella
of Leadership in Energy and Environ-
mental Design, a green building rating
system that distinguishes design and
construction practices that improve occu-
pant health, reduce negative
environmental impact, and increase
energy efficiency.
Local firms Martin Riley Architects and
Shawnee Construction designed and
constructed the apartment community.
The property was financed in part by a
$1.6 million American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act grant.

ISP crime scene tech
retires after 33 years
An Indiana State Police
crime scene technician,
who has dedicated the last
33 years of his life to
serving Indiana citizens,
has announced his retire-
ment, the ISP said in a
statement.
Sgt. Kevin Echterling, a
second generation ISP
rrooper, was a 1974 grad-
uate of North Newton
High School in Newton
County, Ind. He was
accepted to the 33rd ISP
Recruit Academy in 1977.
On Dec. 18 of that year,
he was appointed to the
department as a trooper
and assigned to the Ligo-
nier post. Echterling
worked the road, serving
the citizens of LaGrange
County until the closing
of the Ligonier Post in
1982.
LaGrange County then
fell under the Fort Wayne
post. Echterling was a
trooper until 1995, when
he was promoted to
sergeant and transferred
into the laboratory divi-
sion as a crime scene
technician, a position
Echterling held until his
retirement.
During his career,
Echterling served the
department as a member
of the Tactical Interven-
tion Platoon and in
December of 1979, was
presented with the
Sagamore of the Wabash
by then Gov. Otis Bowen
for his efforts in saving
the life of an Amish baby
in a run-away buggy.
Echterling is a resident
of LaGrange County with
his wife, Brenda and
together they have four
children.

to Owen, who wore No. 2
on the Indy Open-winning
team. I read about it in
the summer pamphlet and
signed Owen up. We
moved here from Alabama
and had never really been
exposed to lacrosse so we
had a lot to learn, she
said. Once we figured
out the basics, I fell in
love with watching it. It is
a fast pace game and it is
a rough game so it is very
easy to get wrapped up in
the excitement from the
sidelines.
I see a lot more of it
on TV than I ever have
before, her son, Owen,
said. I think that expo-
sure has made kids
curious about it. After
playing lacrosse for only
one year, Owen said it is
now his favorite sport and
hopes to play in college.
In 2010, Clea Endres, a
former SouthWest
Lacrosse Club member,
accepted a full-ride
academic and lacrosse
scholarship to play at
Indiana Tech. Now, she is
making her mark as a
member of Indiana Techs
womens lacrosse team,
which this year won the
first ever National
Womens Lacrosse
League Tournament
Championship. Endres
finished the season with
14 goals, five assists and
was among the team
leaders with 36 ground-
balls.
Students like Endres, a
graduate of Homestead
High School, have shown
that there are college
scholarship opportunities
for lacrosse players in the
Midwest. Families inter-
ested in starting their kids
off in the sport can sign
up for SouthWest
Lacrosse Clubs summer
camp. Camp is located at
Van Hoozen Park on
Aboite Center Road, next
to the Aboite fire station.
Kids can register at the
Jorgensen Family YMCA
or online as late as the
first day of camp.
SouthWest Lacrosse
Club also runs an indoor
winter lacrosse clinic at
the Ash Centre from
January-February. The
clinic is not mandatory for
SouthWest players, but is
encouraged, especially for
those playing the sport for
the first time.
The clubs outdoor
practice season begins the
first week of March. The
season typically starts
mid-April and runs until
the third week of May.

Lacrosse Club online at

Adults offered free look at college life
Only 38 percent of U.S. adults
ages 25-64 have earned at least a
two-year college degree. In Indiana,
that percentage is even lower at just
33 percent.
This is according to data cited by
Steve Herendeen, vice president of
the College of Professional Studies at
Indiana Tech. He wants to help adult
students explore the idea of returning
to college. They dont have to be
enrolled at Indiana Tech or intend to
enroll at any college, he said in the
release. The idea is to give them a
taste of what a college course is like
and start them on their way. Our
belief is that many will find they
want to go on and pursue a degree
and feel confident that they can do
it.
Indiana Techs College of Profes-
sional Studies will launch a free
college preparation program for
adults at its main campus in Fort
Wayne and at satellite campuses
around the state, the school
announced Monday. The program
was tested successfully in Munster
and will expand later this month
thanks to an $18,000 grant from the
Ball Venture Fund.
Enrollment in College Preparation
Courses: A Free Program for Inter-
ested Adults is open to any adult in
the community until spaces are filled.
Courses include math, communica-
tions and writing, and computer
skills.
Many adults know they need more
education to compete in todays labor
market, Herendeen said, but they find
the prospect of college daunting. The
hope of the adult college prep
program is to ease them back into
academic life and show potential
students that success is possible.
Math and English courses will be
offered once a week for four weeks.
Classes are scheduled to last two
hours each. Computer classes will be
offered over two weeks. Students
may take any or all of the free
college prep courses but registrations
are accepted on a first-come-first-
serve basis.
In addition to the main campus in
Fort Wayne, CPS has satellite facili-
ties in Elkhart, Fishers, Greenwood,
Huntington, Indianapolis, Kendal-
lville, Mishawaka, Munster, New
Albany, Plainfield and Warsaw.
If students end up enrolling at
Tech, thats great, Herendeen said.
If they end up going to college some-
where else, thats fine. And if they
decide not to go to college, at least
they will have improved their commu-
nication, math, and technology skills
and therefore their chances for a
better job. Our goal is to provide
learning that enriches lives.
For more information, contact CPS
admissions at 800-288-1766 or go

Tech.edu/CPS.

July 9 marks the kickoff of the eleventh
year of Roanokes farmers markets. Held
every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon,
through September 11, the market is a
community event that brings neighbors and
friends together. It also provides an oppor-
tunity to visit the shops.
Main Street is blocked off for the event
and the street is lined with market carts,
which are filled with fresh produce and
unique goods.
The farm vendors will change
throughout the summer as different vegeta-
bles and fruits become available. The fresh
taste of homegrown produce, such as corn,
tomatoes, berries, peaches and apples seem
to bring visitors back, year after year.
Each week, there is also a bake sale
fundraiser and some vendors sell locally-
made crafts. The market features local
entertainment and local pottery, painting
and wood carvings.
July 9 also marks the kick-off of the
Roanoke Striders at 7:30 a.m. from Zent
Commons. The Roanoke Striders hold
Saturday morning walks through the
community of Roanoke. Sponsored by
Powers of One Yoga Studio, the goal is to
encourage residents to get up, get moving,
and reap the benefits of an active lifestyle.

The Fort Wayne Philharmonics Patriotic Pops Concert,
Freedom on Main, will hit the streets of the Roanoke
community on July 3. The concert will take place on
Main Street, where local volunteers will build a large
stage on the north end of the block and then fill the street
with chairs, tables, flags and pride.
Its a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday
weekend, said Alice Eshelman, chairperson of the event.
Joseph Decuis is proud to be the presenting sponsor of
this concert and show off our beautiful town with patri-
otic pride.
The Philharmonic will perform Sousas Hands Across
the Sea, and Goulds
American Salute. Another special this year includes a
medley of Irving Berlins music and the sounds of World
War II favorite, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.
Continuing with tradition, the Philharmonic will also
play Tchaikovskys 182 Overture, as well as the Armed
Forces Salute, in which veterans and members of the
different branches of service stand and are honored as
their anthem is played.
Each year, the concert also honors veterans and those
still in service to our country. Roanokes local World War
II veteran, Ralph Hine, is returning again along with his
wife, Ruth. Hine will turn 102 years old this year.
Another special honoree includes nurse and First Lieu-
tenant, Mary Polly Woodhull Lipscomb, who served
the country in World War II in England from 1942 to
1945. She was with the Army Nursing Corps 67th
General Hospital which was used for the recuperation of
British, Canadian and American soldiers returning from
European battlefronts.
Overall, the concert will recognize all veterans, as well

Celebrity dancer makes stop in Summit City
For an aspiring dancer
in Fort Wayne, the oppor-
tunity to audition for TV
shows seeking the next
big dance star does not
come around everyday.
During National Dance
Week, young hopefuls got
a taste of what that is like
when celebrity dancer,
Kent Boyd, from one of
TVs best-rated competi-
tion shows, So You
Think You Can Dance?
visited the Summit City.
More than 150 dancers
attended the workshop,
hosted by Dance NY
Style Studio of Dance, at
YOLO Event Center.
Participants came from all
over Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan to attend the
workshop where Boyd
taught a dance class,
signed autographs, took
photos and stuck around
for a special question and
answer session.
Lindsey Tague, director
at Dance NY Style, said
many dance studios came
together on behalf of their
students. The support of
their teachers and studio
directors was great to
see, Tague said. When
we all work together
promoting unity in the
dance world, really neat
things can happen.
Tague worked closely
with Boyds manager in
Los Angeles to make the
event possible. She is
taking the initiative to do
it again in 2012 and has
hopes to book even more
celebrities, including
Dancing With the Stars
own Lacey Schwimmer,
Twitch from So You
Think You Can Dance,
and Kherington Payne
from Laurieann Gibsons
The Dance Scene
reality TV show. The offi-
cial list of 2012
instructors will be
released in January, Tague
said.
To learn more, contact
Dance NY Style at 260-

Celebrity dancer Kent Boyd, best known for So You Think You Can Dance, a FOX reality dancing
competition, visited Fort Wayne for a workshop and Q-and-A during National Dance Week.

(ALLEN COUNTY) The nationwide credit
crisis may have turned the American
dream into an extended nightmare for
many Indiana home buyers and sellers.
Banks and mortgage lenders (who are
not going out of business) have tightened up
their lending requirements to the point
where many home buyers today can no
longer qualify for a mortgage.
Record foreclosures, rising unemployment,
losses in the financial markets and the
current credit crunch have not only reduced
the number of buyers who can buy but have
also increased the number of houses that
sellers need to sell.
Prices are under pressure as home sellers
lower their asking price to attract a buyer,
and as lenders resell their foreclosed homes
below market value.
And its turning into a vicious cycle --
as many buyers need to sell their current
home first -- and many sellers (unless they
plan to rent) need new financing to get into
their next home. As a result, a sea of real
estate agents, mortgage brokers and home
builders are going out of business. These
professionals are in the business of serving
buyers and sellers. But thats hard to do
with the credit crisis when the entire real
estate industry traditionally relies on
mortgage lending to finance buyers and get
houses sold.
What can homeowners do to sell their
homes? How can buyers get financing if
they cant meet the tougher lending criteria
on credit scores, income verification, down
payment amounts and debt ratios?
Theres one local real estate profes-
sional who has found a way to make
things work even with the present bank-
ing crisis. Mike MacDonald is the president
of Summit City Investments, Inc. Since
1999, his private investment company has
been buying houses throughout the Allen
County, IN region without ever relying on
banks.
MacDonalds company takes over
existing mortgages or brings in private
lenders allowing him to pay homeowners
all cash for the properties. He then offers his
properties for rent or for sale by owner
using a variety of unique seller financing
programs.
By taking a long term approach and
never relying on banks, business has never
been better for MacDonald and his
company.
Mike says its normal for people to
think they must be desperate before calling
him to buy their house. Its a very common
misconception. But until I look at a house
and do some research, I wont know my
game plan for the property or what I can
offer. But after a single visit to the property
and meeting with the homeowners I can let
them know exactly what I can do. My offer
is good for 7 days and its only at that point,
with my offer on the table, that a seller can
decide if Im going to become their buyer.
In fact, price is not an issue for
MacDonald. As an investor, whats impor-
tant to him is the determination of what
income the property can produce. Its easy
to determine. I also do an appraisal and
look at the recent comparable sales. Then I
do whatever I can to offer a seller up to full
price today -- or about what they might net
sometime in the future pursuing a more
conventional route. What I can pay depends
on the condition, location and financing
options available for that type of property.
It only takes about 10 minutes to prescreen
a property over the phone and to set an
appointment. We typically buy 1 out of
every 4 properties we see. In fact, for about
half of those I have purchased, the seller
pursued their other options and then came
to realize that my offer was the best all
along.
MacDonald believes the three biggest
reasons a house doesnt sell are: 1) it is
overpriced, 2) it is poorly marketed, or 3) it
is not fixed up to show well. I can pay a
fair price on a home that needs work. I
might even plan to increase the value or
marketability by adding a
bedroom or bath, finishing a
basement or installing a new
heating system. Brand new carpet
and paint will go a long way to
attract a qualified buyer. But I
understand that many sellers dont
have the time, inclination or
money to remodel a house... just to
get it sold. We solve that problem
for sellers.
Overpricing a home could be
the biggest mistake. Listing
agents sometimes suggest (or a
seller might decide) to ask for a
higher price than needed. This
might be to test the market or leave wiggle
room to negotiate. However, this can
backfire if the seller wants (or needs) a
quick sale, or when the days on the
market stacks up causing buyers to wonder
whats wrong with the property.
Another misconception about how
Mike MacDonald buys houses is the idea
that hes probably looking for sellers in
financial distress. Look, when a seller is
out of time or out of options, then Im
usually their best solution -- if their
property is not over-financed. But most
people headed for foreclosure are either
overleveraged or actually looking to save
their house. If I buy the house the seller
must move. They really need to get into a
more affordable home... but sometimes I
can help by swapping properties.
MacDonald warns about companies and
real estate investors who target distressed
homeowners. Recent laws have been
passed in Indiana that apply to any business
and investor who targets people in foreclo-
sure. Be cautious, do your research and
perhaps seek legal advice when anyone
wants to charge you an upfront fee for
helping to get your loan modified, or... if
theyre promising to lease the home back to
you. That rarely works out like the
borrower expects and can lead to accusa-
tions of fraud. Perhaps rightly so.
What does a real estate investor like
Mike MacDonald do with the houses he
buys each month? What about the
hundreds of houses his company has bought
throughout Allen County, Indiana over the
last 11 years? Simple. He rents them out or
resells them. Were usually managing 50
to 60 properties at any given time -- making
us one of the largest owners of single family
homes in the area. Each month we may
have 5 to 10 houses for sale. Some weve
owned for years and others we have
recently bought.
With a reasonable down payment,
MacDonald says he can sell you one of his
properties using his popular owner financ-
ing programs -- even if you have damaged
credit or a short job history.
His most popular owner financing
program includes the opportunity to
build sweat equity. Before repairing or
remodeling a newly acquired house,
MacDonald offers it in as-is condition to
his buyers list. This allows his client to do
the work (to suit their own preferences) in
exchange for all or part of a down payment.
I have a lot of buyers who check my
website each week looking for these fixer
upper deals. But if the home is not under
contract within 10 days or so then Ill hire
my contractors to fix it up completely.
His next most popular program is a
down payment assistance plan. Many
buyers turn to MacDonalds company
because they dont have the down payment
required by todays cautious lenders. Mike
helps buyers build up equity or a down
payment over time with his rent-to-own (or
lease with the option to buy) program. In
this program you can rent the property
youve decided to buy, but have the option
to close anytime over the next 1, 2... or even
5 years. A portion of the rent each month is
credited toward buying. Additional
amounts can be paid monthly for more
rapid equity build up plus other promised
amounts can be made later... like proceeds
from the sale of another property or a
pending tax refund.
Once the buyer has enough skin in
the deal, MacDonald can close with
owner financing at the predetermined,
mutually agreed upon price and terms. Or
the buyer can close with a new bank loan.
According to MacDonald, There are so
many reasons my buyers like some time
before qualifying for a mortgage. They may
need to sell their house, work on their
credit, establish more time on a job or
establish two years of provable income on
tax returns when self-employed. All our
buyers are put in touch with a sharp
mortgage broker who creates a plan for
them. We can recommend an affordable
credit repair company that can do unbeliev-
able things given even a short 6 to 12
months to work on a file. This also helps out
some sellers who have found themselves in
over their head.
We do everything we can to get our
buyers permanent bank financing. Its a
win-win because we pay sellers all cash and
fund our deals with private lenders. Our
lenders are mostly local individuals seeking
alternatives to low bank CD rates. They
earn 8 to 10% interest on real estate notes
well-secured by our properties. When we
get our buyer cashed out, we finally make
our money and can payoff our investor.
These investors usually want to reinvest
allowing us to buy even more houses.
Unfortunately many of the mortgage
programs once available are now gone. Its
reported that 75% of the available lending
disappeared when FHA changed their rules
last October and again early this year. But,
if you have money to put down and can
prove your income, there are still loans
available now. In fact, some rural develop-
ment loans and VA loans still allow quali-
fied buyers to borrow with no money down.
We help all of our buyers get a bank
loan as quickly as possible... or we finance
them ourselves. But weve never relied on
banks. That keeps us in control and main-
tains our sanity. But we get those loans
done every chance we get. In fact, some-
times a buyer can qualify and doesnt even
know it. Other times they can qualify but
need a flexible seller. Were one of the most
creative and flexible sellers youll ever
find, says MacDonald.
Does buying or selling a home have to
be difficult? Maybe not!
President Obama says today's
economy is the worst since the Great
Depression and it may take many years to
recover. Unfortunately I think hes right
and so do many sharp economists.

Most sellers are unaware
of the options we offer.
What they need most is a
qualified buyer... and we
might just be that buyer.
We can buy houses in as-is
condition, pay top dollar
and close in just a few
days or whenever theyre
ready.
If you can afford a first
months rent, a last
months rent and a security
deposit, then I can
probably sell you one of my
houses.
