Students prepare for ISTEP+Students at Abbett Elementary have been preparing for

the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational ProgressPlus (ISTEP+) assessment by competing in an academictriathlon.

Students in third, fourth and fifth grades spent threedays competing by taking reading, writing and mathexams that included similar questions common toISTEP+. Teachers used the triathlon to turn preparing foran important test into a fun exercise for students.

The purpose of the ISTEP+ program is to measurestudent achievement in English and language arts, mathe-matics, science and social studies. An applied skillsassessment and a multiple-choice assessment are used tomeasure Indiana academic standards that were adopted inNovember 2000 by the Indiana State Board of Education.

According to the Learn More Indiana website, solidreading, writing and math skills are “must haves” for asuccessful future. If students have not retained enoughlearned information to pass the assessment, it is a sign the

student needs some extra attention.

Hands-on foster parents needed

Two and a half decades ago, Whit-ington Homes opened its doors witha focus on providing services,including the development of parenting skills, for young girls andtheir babies.

That focus remains, but the agencyhoused in a grand Prairie-style homeat 2423 Fairfield Avenue also

licenses therapeutic foster homes.Due to recent changes at the state

level, fewer children with emotional,mental or physical challenges arebeing placed in residential care,resulting in an increased need fortherapeutic foster homes.

“Therapeutic foster parents needto be strong, understanding, compas-sionate and supportive while beingable to implement structure andboundaries,” said Beth Barrett, Whit-

ington’s coordinator of foster carelicensing and training. “These kidswill test those boundaries.”

Children who are referred to resi-dential care generally can’t functionwithin a community or in school,Barrett said.

Therapeutic foster care is for chil-dren who are stepping down fromresidential care. They will need help

Ministry encouragesaccountability

It all started with a sandwich.The late Vivienne Smith, longtime staff

member at Fort Wayne’s Broadway Chris-tian Church, began sharing her lunch with

hungry people who came in off the street.It was the mid-1970’s, and people werestruggling to meet basic needs for food,clothing, and shelter.

The church’s deacons began to seek God’s direction to determine what role toplay in helping to meet those needs. Theyinvestigated a Nashville, Tenn. church’sfood and clothing bank, returning with therecommendation that Broadway institute asimilar outreach.

It was the birth of Inasmuch (IAM), aministry to the city’s poor. Based onMatthew 25:40, which says “Inasmuch asye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it untome.” IAM has provided both practicalassistance and spiritual guidance to thou-

sands since its inception.IAM’s mission statement identifies their

focus: “Helping people in need, offeringhope through a relationship with JesusChrist and promoting personal responsi-bility.”

Alyn Biddle, IAM’s benevolenceminister, is adamant about this combina-tion. For him, prayer and sharing of theGospel are foundational.

“The relationship with Christ is thebeginning of a changed life,” he said. “Weneed to care for people (but) God hasn’t

called us to solve people’s problems. Inas-much is about accountability andresponsibility. It is a compassionateministry, not a mercy ministry. We do notjust hand out money. The client must haveownership of [his] problem - accounta-bility.”

Biddle, who assumed leadership in1987, has helped to crystallize thechurch’s initial vision, expand the scopeof the ministry, and engage the support of congregations throughout Fort Wayne.

Inasmuch established the “Family of Churches,” 21 area churches that work together to provide financial assistance,volunteers, and prayer support to theministry. Biddle also networks monthlywith representatives of various social

service agencies to enhance communica-tion and encourage cooperation amongthe groups.

“Things are changing,” Biddleobserved. “We’ve seen an increase in the

acclimating to a regularenvironment.

“The kids are what theyare,” Barrett said. “Fosterparents need to meet themat their level and theirneeds and move forwardfrom there.”

When the economy wasgood, Barrett said, a lot of people felt stable enough

to reach out to helpsomeone else bybecoming foster parents.Then the economychanged. People lost jobsand benefits, and theywere unsure of theirfutures.

Barrett said she had 21inquiries last year frompeople who were inter-ested in becoming fosterparents. One came onboard.

She also closed about10 foster homes last yearfor various reasons

including burnout, or the

fact that the foster familyadopted their foster child.

“We need hands-onparents,” Barrett said,ideally in a two-parenthome so one parent canbe at home and advocatefor the child when neces-sary. Male role models arealso needed.

The licensing process

for a therapeutic fosterhome takes about sixmonths if the couple arediligent, Barrett said. Thecost is about $300 for amarried couple with nochildren in the home.

Potential therapeuticfoster parents need to gothrough a specializedtraining program at Whit-ington, a medical review,first and and CPRtraining, a financialreview, two in-homevisits, fingerprints andcriminal background

checks for everyone in the

household age 14 andolder.

Becoming a licensedtherapeutic foster homedoes not guarantee theimmediate placement of achild into the home,Barrett said.

When a child needstherapeutic foster care, thestate will send out a

notice.“Agencies submit their

best match but ultimatelythe state decides whichhome will best meet thechild’s needs,” Barrettsaid. “DCS is ultimatelythe guardian to these chil-dren.”

For information onbecoming a licensed ther-apeutic foster parent, callBarrett at 745-9431.

Rockin’ Docs Musicfest

has new date, locationRockin’ Docs Musicfest, held every September at Head-

waters Park for the last 10 years, has changed its date andvenue. The 11th annual Rockin’ Docs Musicfest will be 6p.m.-midnight March 18 at Spiece Fieldhouse, 5310Merchandise Drive.

The new date and relocation provides an opportunity toincorporate a sports-related theme into the Musicfest. TheMarch date coincides with the end of winter, the beginningof spring and the start of basketball’s “March Madness.”

Spiece Fitness has been a long time sponsor of the event.“We passionately believe in the vital local charities that

Rockin’ Docs supports, and applaud the generous busi-nesses and individuals who make it happen. It is an honorto host this fabulous, worth-while event at Spiece,” saidAnne Davis, co-owner and executive director for SpieceFitness.

An added benefit to the move is an inside venue thatprotects against Mother Nature. According to KarenRothermund, event chair, “This year it can rain, it can snow.It doesn’t matter. The show will go on and we’ll all becomfortable and warm inside.”

Rockin’ Docs Musicfest, staffed by approximately 40volunteers, donates proceeds of the event to local charities.Over the past 10 years, the organization has donated almost$350,000, resulting in thousands of local patients receivingmedical services they could not otherwise afford, such asexaminations, diagnostics, medications and treatment,childhood vaccination and treatment for victims of rape anddomestic violence. Benefactors in 2009 wereMatthew 25 Health and Dental Clinic, Fort Wayne SexualAssault Treatment Center, Super Shot, Francine’s FriendsMobile Mammography and Riley Hospital for Children.

Entertainment includes local bands Next Exit, Sheba andFrankie and the Bananas in addition to a large silentauction, retail merchandise, food and beverages. Donationscan also be made online.

Admission is $12 at the gate and $10 in advance for this21-and-older event. Information, including sponsorshipopportunities, online donations and advance ticket purchase

Bandido’s has long history in Georgetown Square

What makes a true neighborhoodrestaurant? It’s a place neighborstrust to provide good food and afriendly atmosphere. The familiarityof its patrons and employees makethem feel right at home-just like theBandido’s in Georgetown Square.

“We love Bandido’s,” saidcustomer Brenda Johnson. “Weusually go to Georgetown. We lovethe chips and salsa, the food isalways great. I’ve never had to sendanything back. The new $5 lunchesare extremely helpful for senior citi-zens or those on a low budget.Bandido’s forever!”

Georgetown Bandido’s opened itsdoors in 1982. It is the third of sixBandido’s locations owned byJimmie Schindler. The restaurant hasgotten some new paint colors and

also new Mexican artifacts and artwork on the walls.

Schindler has a long history in theGeorgetown Square ShoppingCenter. He opened his first restau-rant, Jimmie’s Pizza Inn, in 1968,when the shopping center was brandnew. Jimmie’s was part of phase Iand was in the current Ziffle’s RibBar location.

At that time, Schindler was adrywall contractor from Decaturwith no restaurant experience.Developer Tom Jehl had his doubtsif a construction worker could run asuccessful restaurant. It didn’t takelong to answer this question.Jimmies’s Pizza Inn was busy,

popular and a northeast Fort Waynehit from the very beginning.

Schindler said, “It doesn’t takerestaurant experience, it takescommon sense to run a business.”

Ten years later, Schindler ownedeight Jimmie’s Pizza Inn restaurantsthroughout the city.

Schindler’s philosophy of oper-ating a restaurant is simple: “Givegood food and good service in aclean and friendly atmosphere.”

Good food includes salsa madefresh every day, and authenticrecipes obtained from Mexican chef Hermino Cortez.

The first Bandido’s locationopened on Winchester Road in 1980.

In 2010, the sixth location openedoff Illinois Road.

Mel Soehngen, manager of Georgetown Bandido’s, feels theGeorgetown location differs fromother Bandido’s locations in that it ismore of a neighborhood restaurant.Young families come in and theparents express how they grew up inthe area and that eating at Bandido’swas their family’s Friday night tradi-tion.

Another Bandido’s tradition is togive away free birthday meals to

customers-about a half million of them to date.

Remodeling Maga-zine has just releasedits list of top 100Remodeling Markets,and Fort Wayne is onthe list at number 92.

The Top 100 Marketslist is based on theResidential Remod-eling Index (RRI), aunique new metricdesigned to provideinsights into and fore-casts of remodelingactivity by market.

Eighteen Indiana counties, includingAllen, will host Purdue Extension’s Risk Management Education for Farm Womenworkshops in March.

The workshops will feature three mainseminars on the topics of succession plan-ning, commodity marketing and financialrisk management. The most requestedtopics from a survey of past workshopattendees became the themes for this

workshop, said Purdue Extensioneducator Kelly Heckaman.

“We decided to focus on flexibility,”Heckaman said. “Participants are able topick what they need, whether that be one,two or three sessions, and are not lockedinto a six-week course.”

The goal of the March 10 and 17 semi-nars is to increase understanding of income statements and balance sheetswhile identifying ways to solve individualfarm issues. Session leaders will use casestudies, and each person will receiveinteractive spreadsheets during the first

session.“Participants can go home and input

their farms’ numbers,” she said. “Whenwe meet again for the second session, thegroup will go over questions and help fixany problems identified.”

The succession planning andcommodity marketing sessions willbroadcast live to different host sites via atwo-way, interactive webinar, which will

allow participants to ask questions andinteract with speakers and other host sites.

The succession planning workshopswill take place March 24 and 27. Discus-sion points for the two-part seminar, ledby Purdue Extension agricultural econo-mist Angela Gloy, include transferringmanagement responsibility, strategies fordealing with family conflict and choosingthe right legal help.

On March 29, Purdue Extension agri-cultural economist Corinne Alexanderwill present the commodity marketingworkshop. She will examine producers’

fluctuating incomes, introduce pricingtools and teach marketing strategies.

Heckaman said one objective of theprogram is to create a network for womenin agriculture.

“If potential participants are on thefence about attending, they should think of all the connections they can make,”Heckaman said. “If we happen to notmeet all of someone’s goals during the

workshop, there will be women in theroom other participants can use as greatresources in the future.”

For a complete list of workshop details,

dates and registration deadlines visitwww.extension.purdue.edu/allen.

The registration fee is $25 per personper workshop or $50 for all three. Theprice will include all refreshments andresource materials. The first registrationdeadline is March 3.

New service offersinfo on missing kids

Every year an estimated800,000 children arereported as missing in theUnited States. Comcasthas launched MissingKids On Demand and

online atxfinity.com/news/miss-ingkids, a first-of-its-kindpublic service initiativethat will make informationabout missing childrenavailable to millions of customers across theUnited States. The newinitiative is in partnershipwith the National Centerfor Missing & ExploitedChildren (NCMEC) andwill enable people tosupport efforts by lawenforcement across thecountry to help bring

missing children home.“The best way to help

find a missing child is toget the message out asbroadly as possible,” saidErnie Allen, President andCEO of National Centerfor Missing & Exploited

Children. “Our partnershipwith Comcast enables usto reach millions of homesacross the country we maynot otherwise reach andempowers viewers withthe resources they need tohelp solve cases.”

The initiative features20 video profiles chroni-cling missing child casesfrom across the nation.Each video provides rele-vant details about thechild’s case, including thename of the missing child,city of the disappearance,

possible whereabouts,likely abductors and

photos. In cases where thechild has been missing fora long period, an ageprogressed photo showingwhat he/she may look likeat a more recent age will

also be available. In addi-tion, during the airing of each profile, the NationalCenter for Missing &Exploited Children’s toll-free 24-hour nationalmissing children’s hotline(800-THE-LOST) will bedisplayed on the bottomof the profile, so viewerscan report tips should theyhave any information. TheNational Center forMissing & Exploited Chil-dren’s website will also beavailable for viewers toreport tips online at

www.missingkids.com.



Hot and cold mealszipped along two produc-tion lines at 68 to 70 traysa minute inside FortWayne CommunitySchools’ chilly Nutrition

Center.Blueberry muffins and

freshly cut orange wedgeswere packaged on one linefor the district’s 31elementary schools and 11private schools in AllenCounty served by thecenter. The hot meal of the day was corn and a100-percent beef hamburger. In clean, parti-

tioned rooms regulated bybacteria-resisting tempera-tures 41 degrees, 38degrees and a face-numbing 10 to 20 belowzero in the spacious walk-in freezer area thedistrict continues itsefforts to provide the most

nutritious food possiblefor students.That challenge has

become even moredaunting with the recentpassage of the Healthy,Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and a follow-up setof recommended nutritionguidelines issued by theU.S. Department of Agri-culture. Although school

districts such as the31,568-student FWCShave been stepping upnutrition efforts all along,some say the new guide-lines will undoubtedlycost more money.

Moreover, an officialwith Ohio-based J.T.M

Food Group, whichprocesses 72 millionpounds of food annuallyfor 5,600 school districts,said the technologycurrently does not exist toreach one of the govern-ment’s ultimate goals of reducing sodium instudents’ meals.

Candice Hagar, FWCSdirector of nutrition serv-ices, said she is generallypleased with variousprovisions proposed bythe USDA, especially alowering of calorie counts.But she said some of the

requirements, particularlyincreasing servings of vegetables and fruits, willraise costs.

Hagar and AndreaStieglitz, food servicedirector for the 4,000-student DeKalb CountyCentral United SchoolDistrict, said they can’tpredict how much morecostly the new standardswill be.

But Hagar said thefederal government’s plan

to increase meal reim-bursements by 6 cents foreach healthier meal servedmay not be enough.

“We’re going to have to

find a way to do itcheaper. That’s the busi-ness model, isn’t it?” saidHagar, noting that her$15-million-a-year nutri-tion services operationfunctions on non-generalfund revenue derived frommeal payments, govern-ment reimbursements andoutside contract work.

She acknowledged thatchildren not receiving freeor reduced-priced lunches,who make up about 30

percent of the district’sstudents, might wind upseeing the $1.45 to $1.55prices of their lunches riseto cover the additional

nutrition costs.“A lot of this will be an

unfunded mandate,”predicted Brian Hofmeier,senior director of theschool division for J.T.MFood Group, a Harrison,Ohio, processing companythat counts FWCS amongits clients. “It’s going tobe up to school districts tocome up with the moneyneeded for this.”

Hagar said she alsoworries that the lowering

of sodium, which is beingdone over 10 years to helpstudents adjust to the tastechange, may neverthelesswind up producing food

so bland that students willelect not to eat it.

“In the long run,” shesaid, “it may negate thepurpose of what the wholeconcept was in the firstplace.”

Stieglitz is taking amore wait-and-seeapproach regarding theimpact of the guidelines,although like Hagar shesaid the DeKalb districtanticipated some of the

changes and has alreadymade improvements.Stieglitz said DeKalb hasincreased its vegetableand fruit servings, andHagar said FWCS alreadymeets the proposedrequirements for wholegrain products.

The sodium require-ment seems to be the real

stickler for schooldistricts and manufac-turers alike.

Hofmeier said hiscompany has alleviatedconcerns about additionalcosts at least for someproducts by joining aconsortium of manufac-turers that have pledged tooffer healthier processedfood at prices no higherthan less healthy choices.

J.T.M providesprocessed food such asmacaroni and cheese, tacofilling and barbecued

pulled pork. Hofmeiersaid that by July, J.T.M.will unveil 150 schoolfood service products thaton average reduce sodiumby 25 percent. The reduc-tions won’t meet the10-year USDA goal, butthey represent a move inthe right direction,Hofmeier said.

“Our goal on all 150items is an equilibrium of palatability or what Ijust call ‘tastes thesame,’” he said. “I’vebeen working on formulasand changes for two

years. I want to be aheadof what (school districts)

need before they knowthey need it.”

He said some of thelow-sodium changes havecome fairly easily. Forinstance, he loweredsodium in spaghetti meatsauce by increasingalready-included garlic,basil and oregano.

But he said some foods

naturally contain sodiumthat cannot currently beeliminated and, in all like-lihood, technology willhave to be developed toreach sodium levels of between 430 and 740milligrams, depending onthe meal and the grade.

That technology mayraise the cost to schooldistricts in spite of manu-facturers’ best efforts.

“Who knows,” saidHofmeier, “what the nexttechnology jump is goingto cost.”

To illustrate the chal-lenge of lowering sodium,Hofmeier said hiscompany has managed toreduce sodium in tacofilling from 550milligrams to 220milligrams per serving. Aserving, he said, repre-sents one taco or oneburrito. Assuming astudent’s meal willinclude more than a tacoor burrito, it may be diffi-cult to achieve a lunchsodium level of 640 to740 milligrams.

Even if optimum

sodium levels are reached,Hofmeier shared Hagar’s

concern that the foodmight be a turn-off forstudents. Hofmeier said herecently tested macaroniand cheese made with a62-percent reduction insodium and proclaimedthat students wouldn’t eatit.

“If you start makingitems that the kids won’teat,” he said, “and they

just throw it in thegarbage and they stop at aconvenience store for amicrowaved burrito and aPepsi, what have youaccomplished?”

There’s also the matter,he said, that the majorityof what children eat isconsumed at home andoften it is offered withlittle regard to sodiumcontent. That’s one of Stieglitz’s concerns.

“What are we doing,”she said, “to change tastesat home and in our

Emerald Ash Borer attacks 12,000 street treesMayor Tom Henry and the Fort Wayne Parks & Recre-

ation Department announced the need for a specialappropriation to address the accelerated rate of tree lossdue to the emerald ash borer crisis.

“This is an issue that needs immediate attention,” saidHenry. “A dead, or even a weakened tree, threatens thesafety of our citizens.”

More than 1,900 ash trees have already been lost to theEmerald Ash Borer, a small Asian beetle that hitMichigan first, then arrived in Allen County in 2006. FortWayne’s current inventory of 12,000 street trees is

expected to be eliminated in less than 10 years. It isprojected that the City will lose 3,000 ash trees a year forthe next three years, with another 2,000 lost in the finalfour years. Approximately 1000 ash trees are being

treated each year.The cost to deal with the accelerated loss of trees

brought on by the 2008 ice storm and the 2010 droughtwill surpass the budgeted funds. Henry committed anadditional $900,000 to address the issue in 2011 and toreplace 1200 trees.

Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Director Al Mollexplained that the Department’s existing resources willnot be able to keep up with the large number of requiredtree removals over the next several years and they don’thave the equipment or manpower to remove the stumps.

“The wisest course of action is to combine the effortsof both city crews and contractors,” said Director Moll.“We’ll need to contract a consultant to assist with the firstfour to five years of the crisis and our existing

crane/bucket truck and chippers will need to be replacedto keep up with the extra volume required by the in-houseteam.”

Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fair-maire, is an exotic beetle that was discovered insoutheastern Michigan near Detroit in the summer of 2002. The adult beetles nibble on ash foliage but causelittle damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on theinner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree’s ability totransport water and nutrients. Emerald ash borer probablyarrived in the United States on solid wood packing mate-

rial carried in cargo ships or airplanes originating in itsnative Asia.

Residents may call 427-6400 for information if they areinterested in funding their own tree replacement.

(ALLEN COUNTY) The nationwide creditcrisis may have turned “the Americandream” into an extended nightmare formany Indiana home buyers and sellers.

Banks and mortgage lenders (who arenot going out of business) have tightened uptheir lending requirements to the pointwhere many home buyers today can nolonger qualify for a mortgage.Record foreclosures, rising unemployment,losses in the financial markets and thecurrent credit crunch have not only reducedthe number of buyers who can buy but havealso increased the number of houses thatsellers need to sell.Prices are under pressure as home sellerslower their asking price to attract a buyer,and as lenders resell their foreclosed homesbelow market value.

And it’s turning into a vicious cycle --as many buyers need to sell their currenthome first -- and many sellers (unless theyplan to rent) need new financing to get intotheir next home. As a result, a sea of realestate agents, mortgage brokers and homebuilders are going out of business. Theseprofessionals are in the business of servingbuyers and sellers. But that’s hard to dowith the credit crisis when the entire realestate industry traditionally relies onmortgage lending to finance buyers and gethouses sold.

What can homeowners do to sell theirhomes? How can buyers get financing if

they can’t meet the tougher lending criteriaon credit scores, income verification, downpayment amounts and debt ratios?

There’s one local real estate profes-sional who has found a way to makethings work even with the present bank-ing crisis. Mike MacDonald is the presidentof Summit City Investments, Inc. Since1999, his private investment company hasbeen buying houses throughout the AllenCounty, IN region without ever relying onbanks.

MacDonald’s company takes overexisting mortgages or brings in privatelenders allowing him to pay homeownersall cash for the properties. He then offers hisproperties for rent or “for sale by owner”using a variety of unique seller financing

programs.By taking a long term approach andnever relying on banks, business has neverbeen better for MacDonald and hiscompany.

Mike says it’s normal for people to

think they must be desperate before callinghim to buy their house. “It’s a very commonmisconception. But until I look at a houseand do some research, I won’t know mygame plan for the property or what I canoffer. But after a single visit to the propertyand meeting with the homeowners I can let them know exactly what I can do. My offer is good for 7 days and it’s only at that point,with my offer on the table, that a seller candecide if I’m going to become their buyer.”

In fact, price is not an issue forMacDonald. As an investor, what’s impor-tant to him is the determination of whatincome the property can produce. “It’s easyto 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 fullprice today -- or about what they might net sometime in the future pursuing a moreconventional route. What I can pay dependson the condition, location and financingoptions available for that type of property.It only takes about 10 minutes to prescreena property over the phone and to set anappointment. 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 cameto realize that my offer was the best allalong.” MacDonald believes the three biggestreasons a house doesn’t sell are: 1) it isoverpriced, 2) it is poorly marketed, or 3) it

is not fixed up to show well. “I can pay afair price on a home that needs work. I might even plan to increase the value or

marketability by adding abedroom or bath, finishing abasement or installing a newheating system. Brand new carpet and paint will go a long way toattract a qualified buyer. But I understand that many sellersdon’t have the time, inclination or money to remodel a house... just toget it sold. We solve that problemfor sellers.” Overpricing a homecould be the biggest mistake. Listing agents sometimes suggest(or a seller might decide) to ask for

a higher price than needed. Thismight be to test the market or leave wiggleroom to negotiate. However, this canbackfire if the seller wants (or needs) aquick sale, or when the “days on themarket” stacks up causing buyers to wonderwhat’s wrong with the property.

Another misconception about howMike MacDonald buys houses is the ideathat he’s probably looking for sellers infinancial distress. “Look, when a seller isout of time or out of options, then I’musually their best solution -- if their property is not over-financed. But most people headed for foreclosure are either overleveraged or actually looking to savetheir house. If I buy the house the seller

must move. They really need to get into amore affordable home... but sometimes I can help by swapping properties.”

MacDonald warns about companies andreal estate investors who target distressedhomeowners. “Recent laws have beenpassed in Indiana that apply to any businessand investor who targets people in foreclo-sure. Be cautious, do your research and perhaps seek legal advice when anyonewants to charge you an upfront fee for helping to get your loan modified, or... if they’re promising to lease the home back toyou. That rarely works out like theborrower 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 hebuys each month? What about thehundreds of houses his company has boughtthroughout Allen County, Indiana over thelast 11 years? Simple. He rents them out orresells them. “We’re usually managing 50to 60 properties at any given time -- makingus one of the largest owners of single familyhomes in the area. Each month we mayhave 5 to 10 houses for sale. Some we’veowned for years and others we haverecently bought.”

With a reasonable down payment,MacDonald says he can sell you one of hisproperties using his popular owner financ-ing programs -- even if you have damagedcredit or a short job history.

His most popular owner financingprogram includes the opportunity tobuild “sweat equity.” Before repairing orremodeling a newly acquired house,MacDonald offers it in “as-is” condition tohis buyer’s list. This allows his client to dothe work (to suit their own preferences) inexchange for all or part of a down payment.

“I have a lot of buyers who check mywebsite each week looking for these ‘fixer upper’ deals. But if the home is not under contract within 10 days or so then I’ll hiremy contractors to fix it up completely.” His next most popular program is adown payment assistance plan. Manybuyers turn to MacDonald’s companybecause they don’t have the down paymentrequired by today’s cautious lenders. Mikehelps buyers build up equity or a downpayment over time with his rent-to-own (orlease with the option to buy) program. Inthis program you can rent the propertyyou’ve decided to buy, but have the optionto close anytime over the next 1, 2... or even5 years. A portion of the rent each month iscredited toward buying. Additional

amounts can be paid monthly for morerapid equity build up plus other promisedamounts can be made later... like proceedsfrom the sale of another property or apending tax refund.

Once the buyer has enough “skin” inthe deal, MacDonald can close withowner financing at the predetermined,mutually agreed upon price and terms. Orthe buyer can close with a new bank loan.According to MacDonald, “There are somany reasons my buyers like some timebefore qualifying for a mortgage. They mayneed to sell their house, work on their credit, establish more time on a job or establish two years of provable income ontax returns when self-employed. All our

buyers are put in touch with a sharpmortgage broker who creates a plan for them. We can recommend an affordablecredit repair company that can do unbeliev-

able things given even a short 6 to 12months to work on a file. This also helps out some sellers who have found themselves inover their head.” “We do everything we can to get our buyers permanent bank financing. It’s awin-win because we pay sellers all cash and fund our deals with private lenders. Our lenders are mostly local individuals seekingalternatives to low bank CD rates. Theyearn 8 to 10% interest on real estate noteswell-secured by our properties. When weget our buyer cashed out, we finally makeour money and can payoff our investor.These investors usually want to reinvest allowing us to buy even more houses.”

Unfortunately many of the mortgageprograms once available are now gone. It’sreported that 75% of the available lendingdisappeared when FHA changed their ruleslast October and again early this year. But,if you have money to put down and canprove your income, there are still loansavailable 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 financethem ourselves. But we’ve never relied onbanks. That keeps us in control and main-tains our sanity. But we get those loansdone every chance we get. In fact, some-times a buyer can qualify and doesn’t evenknow it. Other times they can qualify but

need a flexible seller. We’re one of the most creative and flexible sellers you’ll ever find,” says MacDonald. Does buying or selling a home have tobe difficult? Maybe not!

“President Obama says today'seconomy is the worst since the Great Depression and it may take many years torecover. Unfortunately I think he’s right and so do many sharp economists.” Interested in selling your propertyquickly and easily? Looking to buy a newhome without bank qualifying?

“Most sellers are unaware

of the options we offer.What they need most is a

might just be that buyer.

We can buy houses in as-iscondition, pay top dollar

and close in just a few

days… or whenever they’re

“If you can afford a first month’s rent, a last

month’s rent and a security deposit, then I can

communities to increasethis nutritional awareness?If everything tastesterrible at school andyou’re serving other

things at home, we’ve lostthe battle. This is alifestyle change.”

USDA spokeswomanJean Daniel said thefederal government’s basereimbursements for mealsare adjusted according tothe consumer price index,and that may help schooldistricts in their pursuit of providing healthier meals.

She said school foodservices are also beingencouraged to minimizeexpenses by bandingtogether to makepurchases and by morefully utilizing “cost-effec-

tive” foods sold by theUSDA.

Daniel acknowledgedthat achieving the sodiumand other proposed nutri-

tion requirements will bechallenging, but shebelieves they can bereached. She said themore than 1,000 schoolsparticipating in theHealthierUS School Chal-lenge, a voluntary USDAinitiative, are alreadymeeting many of thenutrition requirements.

“We know,” Danielsaid, “that there are awhole lot of us who havea lot of work to do. Whatwe want for our childrenis the best, and we knowwe’re not eating the rightthings in the right

amounts. This is an oppor-tunity for us to reallytackle this issue.”

School districts andother interested parties

have until April 13 torespond to the USDA’sproposed guidelines,which at the earliest won’tbe formally put into placeuntil the 2012-2013school year, Daniel said.

Hagar hopes theproposed regulations are“tweaked a little bit,”especially sodium levels.

In the meantime,FWCS’s nutrition serv-ices, which spendsroughly $6 million a yearon food alone, willcontinue its almost dailyefforts to improve thenutrition of meals in the

state’s second-largestdistrict.

“We are continuallylooking for a more nutri-tious solution and always

want to do what is in thebest interests of the chil-dren in the district,” Hagarsaid. “We believe that ourmeals are already nutri-tious, but everything canalways be improved on.”

To that end, she said,the proposed governmentguidelines are, for themost part, good ones.

“We just feel like incertain areas they may betaking it a little too far.”
