Huntertown Heritage Days coming Aug. 3 Oak View ISTEPscores lead NACS

Six of nine middle and elementary schools in North-west Allen County Schools saw improved scores on the2011-12 state administered ISTEP+ exam, with OakView Elementary School at the head of the pack at 94percent passing.

Oak View’s combinedpass rate in English/language arts (E/LA) andmath was a 5 percentincrease over the previousschool year. HuntertownElementary School studentsalso performed 5 percentbetter than last school yearwith 86 percent passing, upfrom 81 percent passing in2010-11.

However, while thedistrict generally sawimprovements across theboard, the Arcola School’sscores fell by 12 percent.

“Please keep in mind thatISTEP is not a reflection ofeverything that happens in our classrooms,” Superin-tendent Chris Himsel said in a letter to the NACScommunity. “ISTEP is a snapshot on current individualstudent performance on very limited criteria. In mostcases, the differences between our 2012 scores as

sponsors Habitat build for area family

When Nelly Othman, herhusband and two smallchildren moved to FortWayne four years ago fromupstate New York, theynever thought they’d needthe assistance of Habitat forHumanity. Things change,though.

In 2010, Othman and herhusband divorced and shewas left raising the childrenon her own. The familylived in an apartment andlonged for a place to calltheir own, a place for thechildren to have their ownrooms. It was then FortWayne Habitat forHumanity came to therescue.

“A friend told me aboutthe program,” Othman said.“It was sort of ironicbecause she didn’t getaccepted and I did.”

The walls were raised on

Othman’s home on BlakeDrive, in the Aboite area,on June 9 by a team ofvolunteers from areaLutheran churches and thebuild’s primary supporter,Thrivent Financial forLutherans.

Thrivent, 9921 DupontCircle Drive W., is astaunch supporter ofHabitat for Humanityacross the country, with the

company pledging $9.2million to build 142 homesin 32 states in 2012 alone.Four of the homes are inIndiana and one isOthman’s. The non-profitfraternal benefit companyactually has built more than1,600 homes nationwide —and across the globe —since 2005.

I-69 mile markers to change

When you travel along I-69 later this year,the old familiar exit signs are going to getadditional numbers for all of the exits all theway to Indianapolis.

That’s because with the extension of thehighway from Indianapolis to Evansville,the road will grow in length by 184 miles inIndiana. The first 65 miles of the extensionare supposed to open later this year.

Because interstate numbering starts at thesouth and increases as one travels north in astate, I-69’s exits and mile markers aregoing to change, but it is not as simple asadding 184 to the existing signs.

“Instead of adding 184, you’ll be adding200,” said Mary Foster, spokeswoman withthe Indiana Department of Transportation,Fort Wayne District. “I think that will reducethe impact quite a bit.”

Consequently, the Coldwater Road exit,Exit 112 will become 312. The Illinois Roadexit, Exit 105 will change to 305. In Indi-anapolis, where the road currentlyterminates, mile 0 will become 200.

For a few years, to ease the public into thechange, the exits will have dual numbers.So, the I-469 exit will have the numbers 115and 315 for a while.

“There will be dual signage for a numberof years,” Foster said.

The new numbers will become permanentsome time down the road; INDOT plans togive more detailed information on the time-line for the changes in a series of meetingsacross the state, starting July 25 in FortWayne.

The meetings are going to be held acrossthe I-69 corridor to inform local officials ofwhat is going to occur.

The Fort Wayne meeting was held at theFort Wayne Chamber of Commerce July 25.

Pufferbelly 5K set for Aug. 25

Fort Wayne Trails willhost its annual Pufferbelly5K Family Run/Walk andone-mile fun run on Aug.25 at Salomon Farm, 817W. Dupont Road. Registra-tion will begin at 7 a.m.

The walk, in its thirdyear, seeks to raise aware-ness of the Fort Wayne trailsystem and the proposedexpansion of the Puffer-belly trail all the way northto Jackson, Mich.

Event coordinator ToddAppleman said portions ofPufferbelly trail alreadyhave been built. The mostvisible portion runs fromSalomon Farm Parkthrough Dawson’s Creek

south to Wallen Road.“The portion of the

Pufferbelly trail downDupont Road is one ofthe most visible of the60+ miles of trails in thecity,” Appleman said.“You drive down DupontRoad in the evening, youcan see people walking,biking and taking advan-tage of the trails all thetime.”

Appleman said the even-tual goal is to completenorthern portions of thetrail, which will one day gounderneath Dupont Roadpast the La Cabreah devel-opment. The PufferbellyTrail is the city’s portion ofthe state’s Visionary Trail,proposed to begin atOuabache State Park in

Bluffton and continue toPokagon State Park inSteuben County, Thecomplete length of theVisionary Trail will bemore than 80 miles.Appleman said eventualconnections from Pokagonto Jackson, Mich., also areplanned.

The route will follow thenow-abandoned FortWayne, Jackson andSaginaw Railroad, whichran from Fort Wayne toSaginaw, Mich., more than100 years ago.

To construct theremaining 12 miles of FortWayne’s portion of the trailto complete the PufferbellyTrail, Appleman said, takesmoney — and time.

“It will take a lot of time

before the trail iscompleted all the way toDeKalb County, and evenlonger for the entire stretchto Michigan to be usable,”Appleman said. “The rail-road property became theproperty of the landownersadjacent to it, so that prop-

erty will need to bepurchased and it won’t becheap.”

The Pufferbelly 5K is anevent not only to raiseawareness, but to showcasethe trails as well andexpose more people to thetrail system. Appleman andother event organizers areexpecting a much biggerturnout from last year,which netted 150 partici-pants.

Adult registration is $20before Aug. 3, and $25through the day of theevent. Registration foryouth under age 15 is $10by Aug. 3, and $15 after-ward.

In TV shows, the scene isalways the same: Thestreets are dark and emptyas a woman walks brisklyto her car, the sound of herheels clicking on the pave-ment. Suddenly, she hearsthe footsteps of someoneelse, but they’re heavy, likethe sound of someonebigger and stronger. Whenshe picks up her pace, sodoes the person behind her.Then, she feels a hand onher arm and turns around,frightened.

How does this scenarioend? Well, that depends onthe TV show, but normallyit doesn’t end well.However in real life, itdoesn’t have to be that way,especially if women take alittle time out to “empower”themselves. In Fort Wayne,it seems a community ofwomen agree.

EmpowHER Safety Dayon Saturday, Aug. 11,already is half full,according to Fort WaynePolice Deputy Chief DottieDavis, a 29-year veteran ofthe police department. Shewas re-appointed to directorof Fort Wayne PoliceTraining Center inFebruary.

“So far, it’s half full andwe just started putting thisout the first week in June,”Davis said. “We have likethree generations signingup — grandmom, mom and

daughter.”In February, Police Chief

Rusty York told Davis hewanted to dedicate a day towomen in the communityto learn about self-aware-ness and protect themselvesfrom becoming victims.Davis already had seen thebenefits of a similarprogram when her owndaughter previouslyattended a self-defensetraining.

“She was smiling fromear to ear. She couldn’t stoptalking about the tools shegot to fight somebody whowas 250 pounds and feelsuccessful,” Davis said.

Not surprisingly, manywomen in the class wouldstrike the instructor andthen apologize. Davis saidthe instructor wanted tomake one thing very clear.

“He said, ‘Do not apolo-gize. I do not want you inthat mindset.’”

Instructors always are inprotective gear, oftenreferred to as “the red-mansuit.” This puffy, protectivered-colored suit is similar tothe Michelin Man, Davissaid. “So, yes there aretimes where they get hitand then they hurt, but notfor long. In the real world,everything is fair in thattype of a fight.”

It’s a sentiment shared byLead Defense TacticsInstructor Juan Barrientes,who will teach breakoutsessions of level-one selfdefense to EmpowHER

attendees. Barrientes, whoteaches women’s self-defense year-round throughhis business, BarrientesTraining Group, hashimself a wife and twodaughters.

He said he doesn’t wantto hear apologies from hisstudents if they get aggres-sive during class. Barrientessaid all women should havethat mentality.

“I’m not only going toshow how to hit but whereto hit. The common thing isto hit him in the groin, butif I’m a rapist, I’mexpecting they’re going tohit me in the groin, so I’mgoing to protect it.”

Along with Sgt. Mitch

McKinney and Det. SoniaAtienzo, Barrientes willfocus on active countermeasures, gross motor skillsets and target selection,which he said are just thebasics of self defense.

His course will be one offour breakout sessionsduring EmpowerHERSafety Day: Sgt. ScottBerning will instructwomen how to use less-lethal personal protectionweapons, such as pepperspray or taser guns;instructor officer MichaelTapp will lead, “Guns,Safety and Me,” a trainingon firearm protection; andDavis will join Jen Fisher,graduate retention program

manager at Greater FortWayne Chamber ofCommerce and lead singerof Sugar Shot, in leading“The Road TraveledToward a Career andPassion — How the TwoCan Live HarmoniouslyTogether.”

These breakout sessionscover topics women won’tfind at other events gearedtoward their gender.“There’s been manywomen’s days here in thecommunity, but they are notfocused on safety. They’refocused on health, shoppingand other activities, but nothands-on when it comes totheir hidden strengths,”Davis said.

Organizers chose toschedule the first-everEmpowHER Safety Day inAugust to help youngwomen in high school andcollege before the schoolyear.

“We also want to put thisout there for women whoare realtors who are outthere showing houses bythemselves. We wanted toopen up people’s eyes tosituations where they maynot expect to need thesetools,” Davis said.

The event, which takesplace at the Public SafetyAcademy, 7602 PatriotCrossing, will open withregistration at 8 a.m., withEmpowerHER eventsfollowing from 9 a.m. to4:30 p.m. For $25, eachattendee will receive a T-shirt, gift bag, continentalbreakfast, boxed lunch andthe four breakout sessions.Females 15 years of ageand older may sign up, aslong parents sign a waiverfor minors.

A Northrop High School graduate hasbeen awarded a $1,000 scholarship fromGeneral Credit Union. Nicole Collinsearned the George Jordan MemorialScholarship for overcoming adversity.

During the 2011-12 school year,Collins managed to maintain a 4.06grade-point average after giving birth toher daughter, Layla, on Dec. 19. Laylawas three months premature and Collinsspent much of her senior year nursingLayla back to health while she spent 69days in the neonatal intensive care unit.

“It was pretty crazy and scary,”Collins said of the experience. “Shedidn’t have too many problems, but thedoctors wanted to make sure she wasdeveloped well enough to come home.”

During the second semester of hersenior year, when kids typically areattending the prom and planning gradua-tions parties, Collins would spend eachmorning in the NICU. She’d stay withLayla each morning before going to ahalf day of classes in the afternoon, andthen return to the NICU each evening.

“She had to have a couple of bloodtransfusions because she couldn’t makeher own blood cells, and she couldn’thold her body heat,” Collins said.

Through it all, Collins maintained hergrades with the support of her family,parents Renaldo and Chantel Collins,and her teachers.

“Most of the teachers were supportive,since I was gone for a good threeweeks,” Collins said. “And my parentsalways raised us and pushed us to dowell.”

As for little Layla, Collins said she’s

doing well now. Weighing only a tiny 2pounds, 4 ounces at birth, Collins saidyou’d never be able to tell today that herdaughter was born premature. Part of thatis due to the excellent care Layla receivedwhen she was in the NICU, Collins said.

Collins said she and Layla bothreceived such great care that she nowplans to attend college and studynursing. She hopes to pursue her love ofnursing and become a source of supportfor mothers who give birth to prematurechildren.

“I am really driven, I want to go tocollege,” Collins said. “My daughter issuch a motivation for me, it isn’t justabout me anymore — I have to do thisfor her.”

Becker’s HospitalReview recently publishedits list, “100 GreatCommunity Hospitals,”which recognizes high-performing hospitals thathave fewer than 550 bedsand minimal teachingprograms.

nized on the list of 100Great Community Hospi-tals have demonstratedcommitments to the healthof their local populationthrough clinical excel-lence, communityinvolvement and variousother efforts.

To compile this list, theBecker’s Hospital Revieweditorial team analyzedinformation, recognitionand rankings from avariety of industrysources, including iVan-tage Health Analytics,Thomson Reuters, Health-Grades and the AmericanNurses CredentialingCenter.

Dupont is the onlyhospital in the region, andone of seven Indiana facil-ities, to be honored.

Because of its non-profit status, when people take advan-tage of the company’s financial products, instead of payingtaxes on the investments, Thrivent is able to use the funds tobetter its community — primarily through its partnershipwith Habitat for Humanity.

Othman said she is forever indebted to Thrivent andHabitat for Humanity for their support.

“This is such a great program and it really helps familieshave an anchor and stay together,” Othman said. “It helps

me focus on other issues because the big issue — of whereto live — is off my shoulders.”

Othman isn’t getting a free home. She will have a low-interest loan to pay back the money Habitat and Thriventinvested into the home. The money she pays for her homewill eventually allow Habitat to assist another person withhis or her dream of owning a home.

In addition, Othman had to complete 300 hours of volun-teer service with Habitat before construction could begin onher home. Othman said she volunteered at the ReStore,attended home dedications, wrapped Christmas gifts onbehalf of Habitat at the mall and even spent time in variouschurches convincing others to support the organization.

“It was very challenging,” Othman said. “Sometimes Iwould get off work at 2 p.m. and rush to volunteer for twohours until it was time to get my children from the bus.”

But, even though the volunteer hours were challenging,Othman said she still plans to help Habitat when she can.She’ll attend dedications and volunteer to help other soon-to-be homeowners with their volunteer hours. And, it seemsOthman has caught the volunteering bug. She’s recentlybeen accepted as a Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sistersorganization.

“Volunteering through Habitat showed me that it makesyou feel really good when you help others,” Othman said.

Othman’s home will be dedicated on Aug. 24 and shesaid she is looking forward to when the keys are droppedinto her hand for the first time.

“I am so excited! I can’t wait to see what it looks like,”Othman said. In a few short weeks, she’ll get her wish.

Contractorsdo not pay us fees toinstantly become amember of our networklike other sites and serv-ices.

The free referral serviceis initiated by visitingthehomeownershelper.comand selecting the jobrequest link. Once theform is submitted, quali-fied contractors willcontact the homeowner,typically within one busi-ness day from job requestsubmission, to discuss theproject and set an appoint-ment for an estimate. Ifdiscussing home needsover the phone is thepreferred method, home-owners can call 676-2032and provide the relevantinformation.

“Once the homeownerhires one of our networkcontractors, I am availableto address any questionsthe homeowner may haveduring the course of theproject,” said Messuri.“We offer homeowners thepeace of mind in knowingthat our pre-qualifiedcontractors will deliverquality work and stand byit. The Homeowner’s

Helper offers personalservice at its best.”

Homeowners are animportant part of main-taining the best and mostup-to-date network ofcredible contractors. Oncea job is completed, thehomeowner is asked to fillout a customer satisfactionsurvey, which helps TheHomeowner’s Helpermaintain a list of only thebest-performing contrac-tors.

“We want to continueto keep this festival forthe people,” Fischer said.“We hope they will comeout and enjoy it.”

When Sanee Lombardi and her business partner JasonRubin decided to go into business, they wanted somethingdifferent. What they came up with is Wise Guys Ice, anItalian ice shop located in Leo Crossing.

The eatery does its best to bring New York City to FortWayne from its brightly colored walls and black-and-whiteimages of vintage New York City to its bistro feel with jazzmusic playing in the background and fedora-wearingemployees. Kids even get to take home a plastic fedorawhen they visit.

“You go to New York City on the boardwalk, you sitdown to relax and you grab an Italian ice,” Lombardi said.“It’s very much an East Coast treat.”

Lombardi, who is employed full time as an accountant,always wanted to start an ice cream or yogurt shop. Rubin,who hails from the New York area often found himselfcraving an Italian ice when he returned to his Fort Waynebusiness, Absolute Results.

The two got together one day and the idea was born.Lombardi said the two approached the idea in January andthe store officially opened July 16.

“It sort of snowballed,” she said. “Things began to falltogether and here we are.”

The shop serves up a rotating menu of 20 flavors of theicy treat and in all, 120 flavors are possible. From pinklemonade to manic mango, each is only 74 calories andthere are several sugar-free options, too.

Lombardi said the flavors are made off site using icecream machines imported from Italy as well as a 100-year-old secret recipe which uses the most flavorful and freshingredients to create a smooth, creamy and authentic Italianice. Lombardi said the 4-ounce non-dairy servings are fat-free, cholesterol-free and vegan friendly.

“This is an excellent, healthy alternative to ice cream,”Lombardi said. “Each flavor is made with a combination offruit juice and fruit puree for the best taste.”

The eatery currently seats 20, but Lombardi plans to addadditional seating as needed. Patrons can dine in, carry outor drive through. There also is seating outside. The

company employs one manager and approximately 10employees in the 1,700-square-foot establishment.

Wise Guys Ice will celebrate its grand opening on July28 and Lombardi encouraged everyone in the city to giveItalian ice a try.

“So far, we’ve had an overwhelming response since weopened,” she said. “We invite everyone to come in, sitdown, drive through and enjoy this unique treat.”

care by an eye careprofessional.

For cognitive learningto take place, a comfort-able liquid progressionof information must flowinto our children’sbrains. Eighty percent oflearning comes throughvisual processing.According to the Centersfor Disease Control andPrevention, impairedvision affects a child’scognitive, emotional,neurologic and physicaldevelopment by poten-tially limiting the rangeof experiences and kindsof information to whichthe child is exposed.

See to it your localprimary care optometristis performing testing touncover vision percep-tion issues andsymptoms as well. Stra-bismus (wall-eye,crossed eyes, lazy eyeand squint) should beevaluated and treated atan early age — prefer-ably before 7 to 9 yearsold. Kids must havetherapy prior to 13 yearsold to avoid permanent

vision damage.Parents must take steps

to sleuth out the subtlesymptoms signaling theneed for an eye exam.Check your child forsquinting or constantlyholding materials veryclose to their face. Aposture of tilting thehead to one side orrubbing eyes repeatedlyalso can indicate theneed for an examination.Itchy, red, goopy andswollen eyes can beevaluated for allergy andstrabismus.

Look at your child’seyes for symmetry. Areboth eyes and bothpupils (black centralcircles) the same sizeand round? Does one eyeappear to droop? Reviewa photo or two with redeye effect. Look to see ifthe brightness of bothred-eye reflections fromthe pupils are equal inbrightness? A dark eye iscertainly a concern.Lions Club screeners usethis technique in thePediavision screening. Ifyour child is referred byone of these machines,absolutely go see youreye doctor.

Ask older children toread something witheach eye. Have youryoung one read both atdistance and near. Use aseparate, fresh group ofletters in order to testeach eye separately.

Optometry doctorshave extensive ability intraining children to honetheir eye muscles andvisual system like finetuning a sports car forthe road (or schoolingahead). With respect andregard to our surgicalcolleagues in ophthal-

mology, many visionperceptual issues arehandled best by optom-etry and developmentaloptometrists, andextreme cases of crossedeyes and hard to traincases are sub-surgicallyreferred.

Kids just don’t knowthat they cannot see.Adults have internalbenchmarking systemsletting us know we arenot seeing clearly. Sincechildren do not drive,they rarely need to ques-tion their vision clarity.And most kids simplywill assume their symp-toms are normal.

Check your kids outwith the above instruc-tions and, by all means,call an eye doctor for aprofessional check up.Help keep your kidslearning at top form withtop vision.
