Trails effort comes full circle with memorial park By Valerie Gough vgough@kpcnews.net

They say from great tragedy comes great triumph. Perhaps it’s just something people say to comfort those in times of crisis. But in Aboite Township, an entire community can say it with conviction and know it to be true. Just days after 9/11, Ronald Repka lost his life when he was hit by a car while cycling on a country road in southwest Allen County. ” … When we all couldn’t have been any more numb, we found out that Ron Repka was struck by a speeding motorist. The whole community was completely jolted by this and that is what spurred us into action,” said Lynn Reecer, the former president and co-founder of Aboite New Trails. Repka was a husband, a father of two boys, a son and friend to many. He was an outdoor enthusiast and the “picture of health,” Reecer said. He was also one of her husband, Mark’s, longtime friends, having met in seventh grade. They attended Indiana University together and Repka was one of the first people Reecer met her freshman year. It’s also where Repka would meet his

When he walked in the room, he had such a presence. He was always smiling, always laughing, always joking and he just attracted people. People loved to be around him,” Reecer recalled. The couples eventually married

and after college, reconnected in Fort Wayne where their children became friends. The kids loved to ride bikes to and from each other’s homes, but Reecer said it was just too dangerous without sidewalks in their neighborhoods. See PARK, page A14

When Aboite-area resident Gwen Hague received a call from her local Lucky Harley-Davidson dealer, she thought the staff was calling to tell her a T-shirt she ordered had arrived. She was shocked when she called back to find out she’d won a nationwide H-D1 on One National Sweepstakes sponsored by the bike maker. “It was kind of funny, because we go over to Lucky’s See HARLEY, page A18

Golf’s biggest names touched down in the Hoosier state Sept. 3 for the BMW Championship, the third of four FedEx Cup playoff tournaments on the PGA Tour. More than 2,600 volunteers from across the state worked the event when golfers from Tiger Woods to Phil Mickelson teed off at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, hosted by the Western Golf Association. At least two of those volunteers are from the Fort Wayne area. Both Todd Firestone, golf professional at the Fort Wayne Country Club, and Dick Robinson, the club’s WGA representative, will marshal hole nine during the event on Sept. 9. “We will be assigned to the hole, a par five hole, and I imagine we will be responsible for the on-site observation,” Robinson said. The event will see 70

Rachael Manges celebrated her 101st birthday on Aug. 23. She is a resident at Coventry Meadows, but she spent most of her life in Garrett. Manges loves quilting and crocheting, but insists her sister could crochet better. She was a stay-at-home mother and a longtime active member at the Church of Christ in Garrett. She grew up in Montgomery County where she went to school in a horsedrawn carriage. It was at Bowers High School where she met her husband, Cline Manges, who was her history teacher. She hated history, she said, but fell in love with the man teaching it. They were married on Dec. 29, 1934. The couple had eight children. Mrs. Manges became a widow in 1972 and now lives at Coventry Meadows, a retirement community operated by American Senior Communities. In addition to her children, she has numerous grand, great and great-great grandchildren.

Green again Tom Bruns Aqua Indiana

The strange weather pattern of 2012 continued in August, but few people are complaining. August traditionally is a hot and dry month when lawns turn brown and go dormant. Instead, this August brought a break to July’s recordsetting heat wave and almost four inches of long-overdue rain. That rain brought life back to crispy lawns and landscaping, and we’re pleased to announce that Aqua Indiana customers are now free to use hoseend sprinklers and lawn irrigation systems to help keep them green through the end of the growing season. New well online August also brought a new addition to the Aqua Indiana system as well No. 11 began pumping water to the treatment facility. The new well on Illinois Road is capable of producing 500,000 gallons of water per day. That brings the system’s peak capacity to more than 7 million gallons per day — twice the normal

Congratulations to Aqua retiree Jim Thomas Aqua Indiana bids farewell to construction manager Jim Thomas, a 12-year Aqua employee heading off to a busy retirement that involves travel and an important responsibility on the football field. Jim left the Allen Co. Highway Department in February, 2000 to join Aqua Source, the previous owner of the water utility. “When the original investors started the company they just pulled water out of the ground and started pumping it,� Thomas says. “The company today gets a bad rap because of the past, before Aqua America took over and invested in softening and equipment to filter minerals out of the water.� Thomas oversaw those improvements, water tower construction and the extensive renovation of the wastewater treatment plants. He says the shift from building highways to complex water treatment facilities opened his eyes to the process that begins after you flush the toilet. “In corporate jobs you hear that “it� flows downhill. I now know “it� really does flow downhilland how.� Retirement brings an opportunity to travel with his wife, Pam. But, that has to wait until after foot-

Mall upgrades will improve shopper access Jefferson Pointe also lands new tenants Courtesy illustration

By Linda Lipp lindal@fwbusiness.com

Open-air lifestyle shopping centers, with their focus on upscale and entertainment-oriented tenants, were the hottest trend in multitenant retail design when Jefferson Pointe opened 11 years ago in southwest Fort Wayne. But as the species has evolved, managers and

developers have learned that accessibility also is a must if a center is to survive and thrive. Improving access, and therefore shopper traffic, to the businesses that line the inside corridors of Jefferson Pointe was the key reason for a mall makeover announced Aug. 28. “We’re kind of switching to the approach of making the access to

the interiors easier,� said Katrina Newman, marketing and business development manager for Jefferson Pointe. “The project has been talked about for some time, but this year we found a way to do it.� Simon Property Group’s Clay Terrace shopping center in Carmel, built a few years after Jefferson Pointe, was designed to re-create the convenience

With each and every breath Advocate fights to spread lung cancer awareness By Valerie Gough vgough@kpcnews.net

It was 17 years ago when Anita DeSelm had to pack her mother’s life away in boxes. After 40 years smoking cigarettes, her mother, Susie Bassett, succumbed to

lung cancer in 1995 at the age of 62. “As difficult as it was, at that time I thought, well she’s lived a full life,” DeSelm said. But when her daughter, Jennifer Robbins, later was diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer at the age of 20, she was just angry.

“My kids saw how my mom got sick. I remember asking Jen once if I smelled smoke (on her) and she said, ‘Do you think I’m stupid?’ A year later she was told she had lung cancer… I was like, ‘Why her?’ Jen said ‘Well, I guess I’m

surrounded by photographs of Jen. The girl with the bright smile and long, thick hair beamed from a photo standing next to her mother. The frame said “Mom & Me” beneath two hearts. Jen had given it to DeSelm as a gift. “In my mind and in a lot of people’s minds, they think lung cancer happens because they smoked. I found out the hard way that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer.” It was Jen’s wish that,

after she passed, her mother would spread this message on her behalf. DeSelm made that promise. After years advocating for awareness and research, she has finally partnered with a national organization she feels as strongly about as she does the cause. “It was really important to me to know where the money was going. That’s one of my first questions — how much See BREATH, page A9

supposed to be the messenger.’” Robbins found out about her diagnosis during her first year at Indiana UniversityPurdue University Fort Wayne, just after final exams were through. The Homestead High School graduate planned on transferring to Purdue in the fall.

BREATH from page A8 of the money donated really benefits lung cancer research and advocacy?� The National Lung Cancer Partnership, which was founded by physicians, researchers and advocacy groups in 2001, has teamed up with DeSelm to organize the Free to Breathe Fort Wayne 5K Run/Walk and 1-mile Walk on Sunday, Sept. 16 — the first in Indiana. The organization assigns 85 percent of every dollar donated to lung cancer research and awareness. Registration will open at 1 p.m. at Headwater’s Park, 330 S. Clinton St. Brian Michaels, a former disc jockey at Star 88.3 FM, will emcee the event. The 5K run/walk will start at Headwater’s Park and head through Fort Wayne’s scenic Berry and Wayne streets. The one-mile walk will then begin at Headwater’s Park and travel along the St. Joe River in downtown Fort Wayne. A tot trot for kids under 8 will begin at 3:15 p.m. DeSelm and Free to Breathe Fort Wayne’s committee members have planned a closing rally at 3:30 p.m. to honor those who have been lost to cancer and those who are fighting against it. Biodegradable balloons will be launched with cards attached that tell the name of the person being honored and their story. In the days that follow, the card asks each balloon-finder to log onto Free to Breathe Fort Wayne’s Facebook page to let everyone know where the balloon ended up. They may even have their own story of survival or loss to share. It serves as a way to connect and spread the lung cancer awareness message. Leading up to Free to Breathe Fort Wayne, the organization is collecting item donations to be auctioned off at the event. Themed

Back to school balance By Dani McGuire Pranayoga

As summertime comes to an end and kids go back to school, it is a good time to think about routine and balance in our lives. This is

the time we need to think about balancing our health and time wisely. Here are a few main tips to keep yourself and your family healthy and happy during change. • Get plenty of rest

Not only does rest give us the energy to get the todos of the day done, it strengthens our immune system and it gives us a higher retention of new information that we have learned throughout the day.

A very important note for those kids and their GPAs. Start getting into the habit of going to bed early. Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, recommends no later than 11p.m. I prefer 10 p.m., myself. Conscious relaxation is extremely beneficial for the nervous system and hormonal balance of the body. Join a restorative yoga class or schedule a half-yoga nidra (deep relaxation) appointment to help balance, relax and actually improve your

sleeping habits in the evening. • Eat healthy As the schedules change it can be easy to trade our healthy eating habits of early summer days in for the convenience of packaged, refined foods and pizza nights. Think long term and make the time for your health, as it is an investment in prevention. Planning ahead can save you time and money. Pack lunches for the kids using left overs, fresh fruits and

McGuire veggies. Ezeikel sprouted grain bread with almond butter and jelly is a favorite for my kids and gives them lots of healthy live grains and protein with a low glycemic index. A favorite replacement for potato chips is crispy kale chips. (Recipe below.) Kale is also great blended into a morning smoothie for convenience and as a great source of beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, calcium and potent anticancer properties. As for dinners prepare big portions and freeze extras for those days when cooking is not an option. Also, as the weather gets cooler, break out the crockpots for veggie soups and stews that are waiting for you when you get home. • Keep moving As your kids go back to school they naturally may be more involved in sports and movement. It can be more challenging to keep our routine as we care for everyone else’s schedule, we may begin to skip our own activities. Join a gym, a yoga school, or get together a group of friends from the neighborhood and hold each other accountable for moving everyday. • Stay present As summer winds down See YOGA, page A11

The fire within Dr. Jeffrey Gladd GladdMD Integrative Medicine

Most people are well aware of the common health maladies tied to inflammation. Asthma is inflammation of the airways, arthritis is of the joints, and auto-immune diseases like lupus or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are of the immune system. What most do not realize, though, is that inflammation lives at the center of one of the biggest health concerns as well: heart disease. While cholesterol levels get all the press, it’s inflammation that sits below the surface as the silent assassin. In fact, studies show that around 75 percent of Americans suffer from heart attacks have normal cholesterol. While high cholesterol definitely is a risk factor, it is not THE risk factor. Inflammation plays a major role in determining your risk of many other health concerns as well. In small, limited doses inflammation actually plays a healthy response by the body. For example, a sprained ankle stimulates the body’s inflammatory response to limit the damage and promote healing. It is when there is widespread, uncontrolled inflammation in the body that concern grows. We know that chronic stress,

YOGA from page

sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition contribute to inflammation. In nutrition, it is not the amount fat that should concern us, but the types of fats. Trans-fats, or fats that come from hydrogenated oil (mostly soybean) have a direct effect on inflammation. Processed grains and sugar also contribute to inflammation by overstimulating the insulin response. The exact mechanism for how inflammation drives heart disease risk is unknown, but the connection between elevated markers of inflammation and heart risk is clear. For those with a family or personal history of heart disease especially, but in general everyone should know your risk relative to inflammation and strive to lower it. 1. Have your high sensitivity or cardiosensitive C-Reactive Protein (CRP) level tested. Greater than 3.0 is high risk, 1.0-3.0 is average risk and less than 1.0 is optimal. Monitor this level and shoot to lower it every time. 2. Start to lower inflammation through your diet. Increase your intake of the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats. The most potent of these come from fish sources: Sockeye salmon, halibut, herring or trout.

Minor sources are plant based: flax, walnuts, pistachios. 3. Learn ways to manage stress and promote relaxation. Breathing deeply and slowly, yoga, laughter and working on strained relationships are good places to start. 4. Increase your activity level. Very intense, frequent exercise can actually promote inflammation. Find a balanced routine that allows for appropriate recovery either through days off or light exercise days. 5. Fish oil supplementation. Based on the level of inflammation, a good dose ranges from 10003000mg of EPA plus DHA total daily. 6. Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory herb that gives yellow mustard its color. Adding the spice to foods is a good start, but often supplementation is a much more potent way to drive down inflammation. 7. Statin medications, like Lipitor, actually are effective through their anti-inflammatory effect more than their cholesterol lowering effect. These, or nature’s version, Red Yeast Rice, should be considered for persistently elevated

and the to do list grows, schedule time with family and friends and stay present in these special moments together. When you make the commitment to be with them, either on a last minute vacation or just playing a game together, turn off the computers, put away the to do lists, the cell phones and turn of the TV. Look them in the eye and cherish the moments together. Stay present. Recipe — Cripsy Kale Chips Preheat oven to 275. Wash and dry kale

and place on cookie sheet. Brush with canola oil and sprinkle with sea salt and place in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping half way. Dani McGuire, yoga therapist, teacher and Ayurvedic health educator, is the founder of Pranayoga school of yoga and health and Pranayoga foundation, a nonprofit that teaches yoga to people with cancer and chronic illness.

Fort Wayne Habitat dedicated its 159th house in Allen County thanks to the support of ongoing partnerships with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and area Lutheran churches. Nelly Othman and her two children will enjoy the new home on Blake Drive. The alliance between Habitat and Thrivent has resulted in thousands of decent, affordable homes built around the world since 2005. The Thrivent Builds alliance with Habitat for Humanity engages volunteers through members of Thrivent Financial, members of area Lutheran churches and members of the community at-large to build homes alongside Habitat families. Othman and her two children are pictured at the dedication.

Two added to Lutheran board The Lutheran Foundation recently welcomed two new members to its board of directors, Myra Shelby Scott and Connie Kerrigan.

“That prompted my first thoughts of how much I wished we had sidewalks — some way for our kids to enjoy a little independence like kids did years ago, when they could simply get on their bike and go see a friend,” Reecer said. Then, when Repka tragically died on that country road in the fall of 2001, Reecer took matters into her own hands. “People needed to be able to ride bikes on trails and apart from motorists,” Reecer said. Along with Stephanie Schultz, Reecer co-founded Aboite New Trails. Because of a $12,500 donation from Sharon

Repka, who had by then established the Ronald G. Repka Foundation, the organization hit the ground running. By 2011, they managed to raise more than $12 million and build 20 miles of new bicycle and pedestrian trails throughout Aboite Township and southwest Allen County. Now that they’ve merged with the Greenway Consortium and Northwest Allen Trails to form Fort Wayne Trails, Inc., a total of 68 miles have been added to the community trails network. It was just recently when, eleven years after Repka’s death, Reecer stood in front

of a crowd at the newlynamed Ronald G. Repka Memorial Park near Homestead and Liberty Mills roads to say it all had come full circle. “Here we are now, naming this beautiful, new park after Ron and it’s so appropriate,” she said. “The trails will live on for generations. We’d rather have Ron Ron Repka here, but what a beautiful tribute to his life.” “I look around and so many people have partnered to really make this vision that Lynn and (Stephanie) had years ago turn into this reality,” Sharon Repka said. “I am just in awe when I’m here and I see the trails and people riding bikes and the connectivity. It’s really overwhelming.”

Lori Keys, who was executive director of Aboite New Trails before taking on the same role at Fort Wayne Trails, Inc., said while she never had the privilege of knowing Ron Repka, she felt the connection. “When I was working with Aboite New Trails, I Courtesy photo had a photo (of Ron) in the office and I would look at it just about everyday. I feel like I got to know him because he had this big smile on his face and I sort of felt like there was a message of ‘You got this,’ on his face,” Keys said. “What we’ve been able to do is build a legacy for the area and it’s just been a tremendous honor. I will never forget the work that happened here in this community.”

take up 7,500 square feet of space on its north end, near the exterior entrance to Barnes & Noble. Tucanos Brazilian Grill, a sit-down restaurant fusing European and South American cuisines, picked Jefferson Pointe as its sixth location in the United States. The new eatery will open in 2013. Jefferson Pointe also has two new upscale tenants that opened recently: women’s clothier White House/Black

Market, next to Von Maur; and the Aveda salon, adjacent to Madeleines Bakehouse. Additionally, there are plans for a future 6,500square-foot building next to Rave, although no time frame for that has been set. The building is likely to contain just one tenant, a sort of mini-anchor, “and it probably will be built to suit,” Newman said. The road work was scheduled to start Labor

Day week and, with the exception of landscaping that will be completed next spring, will be done by mid-November. Shoppers shouldn’t be too inconvenienced during the 10- to 12-week road construction period, Newman added. Barricades will be erected for shopper safety, and the wide sidewalks near Rave will be narrowed temporarily. But other than that it will be business as usual.

Keep Income Producers Working Hard … Even When Rates are Low Next week, we observe Labor Day, which honors all the hard-working men and women in the United States. As an investor, you’d like to think that all your investments are working hard, too — including the ones that are producing income. But can your incomeoriented investments be productive when short-term interest rates are at historic lows? Or can you find other investment possibilities that could potentially boost your cash flow? The answer to both these questions is “yes” — but you may have to take a closer look at where you stand on the risk-reward spectrum. For example, you might need to consider longer-term income producers, which typically pay

higher yields than shorter-term equivalents. Longer-term fixed-rate securities, such as bonds, must pay these higher rates to reward investors, who face both interest-rate risk — the possibility that interest rates will rise, causing the value of existing bonds to fall — and inflation risk, the threat of losing purchasing power by the time long-term bonds have matured. Still, you may be willing to accept these risks in exchange for the higher yields. However, you may be looking for income producers that can work hard for you without having to hold them for a long period to maturity. This is because the “yield curve” — the line that plots the relationship between yield and maturity — is fairly steep right now, which, in

English, means you can gain noticeably higher yields just by modestly increasing the maturity of your investments. Your financial advisor can suggest some short-term and intermediate-term vehicles that may be appropriate for your needs. And while these rates will still not be as high as those offered by longer-term vehicles, they do offer flexibility — along with less interest-rate risk and inflation risk. You can also help protect yourself from these risks by building a “ladder” consisting of short-, intermediate- and longer-term bonds and certificates of deposit (CDs). Once you’ve built your ladder, it can help you weather changing interest-rate environments. When market rates are low,

you’ll still have your longer-term bonds and CDs earning higher interest rates. And when market rates rise, you’ll be able to reinvest your maturing shortterm investments at the higher levels. If you need the cash, you can liquidate the maturing bonds and CDs. Thus far, we’ve only looked at fixed-rate investments — but you may also be able to boost your income by owning dividend-paying stocks. Some companies have paid — and even increased — their stock dividends for many years in a row. If you’re not in need of the cash, you can reinvest the dividends and boost your ownership stake, which is a key to increasing your wealth. But if you do need the money, you can take the dividends as cash. Keep

in mind that income producers are not a “sure thing” because companies can decide to reduce, or even discontinue, their dividends at any time. In addition, history tells us that you may experience more price volatility from stocks, and they can be worth more or less than the original investment when sold. As you can see, you can find ways to keep income-producing investments working hard for you, despite the prevailing low interest rates. So consider your options, weigh the risks — and then work with your financial advisor to make those choices that are right for you. You must evaluate whether a bond or CD ladder and the securities held within it are consistent with your investment objectives, risk tolerance and financial circumstances. Certificates of deposit (CDs) are federally insured up to $250,000 (principal and interest accrued but not yet paid) per issuing institution. Please visit fdic.gov or contact your financial advisor for additional information. CD values are subject to interest rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of CDs can decrease. If CDs are sold prior to maturity, the investor can lose principal value. FDIC insurance does not cover losses in market value. Before investing in bonds, you should understand the risks involved, including interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. Bond investments are subject to interest rate risk such that when interest rates rise, the prices of bonds can decrease, and the investor can lose principal value if the investment is sold prior to maturity. The value of bonds fluctuates, and you may lose some or all of your principal.

Publicity chairs for the Homestead Junior Classic League, William Ngo, left, and Alicia Cuellar, right, hold the school’s JCL banner. The two coordinated a JCL publicity campaign that took fourth place honors at the national JCL convention at Wake Forest University.

Homestead JCL top five in nation Three students from the Homestead Junior Classical League represented the club at the National Junior Classic League convention, held at Wake Forest University. The Homestead JCL took home a fourth-place award for publicity. Michelle Bonahoom, Rachel Klein and David Landrigan attended the week-long convention and accepted the award on behalf of the Homestead JCL and its publicity chairs, Alicia Cuellar and William Ngo. Cuellar and Ngo amassed 15,963 publicity points for their efforts, which included posting JCL banners around the community, facilitating several community service projects and handing out a variety of fliers to students and the general public to keep Latin and the JCL in the public eye. The publicity contest won first place at the Indiana JCL convention earlier this year. JCL is the largest academic student organization of its kind in the world,

and its publicity projects focus on the various uses of Latin in the modern world. One of the projects carried out by Cuellar and Ngo involved a Roman scarecrow and pumpkin display with facilitators in togas at the annual Great Zoo Halloween event. Another activity included a mythology story and craft time for children at the local library. Later in the year, the two held a coloring contest and presented a mythological play at Barnes and Noble. In addition to the publicity contest, students at the national convention participated in Olympika events, academic tests, a Latin quiz bowl, a Roman banquet, oratory contests, graphic arts contests and various colloquia. In its 25-year history, Homestead JCL has sponsored one national president and nine of the last 19 state presidents, including Bonahoom, the current Indiana JCL president.

So, Hague completed the entry form and dropped it in the box, not expecting much. A few weeks later, she got the call. And, because she thought it was about the shirt, she didn’t even call back. Eventually the dealer got in touch with her to tell her the good news: She was a winner. More than 90,000 entries were received by Harley-Davidson USA in its H-D1 on One National Sweepstakes. The top prize was Hague’s choice of $10,000 toward a new motorcycle, $10,000 toward parts and accessories or $5,000 cash. Hague chose $10,000 toward a new motorcycle and took home a brand new 2012 Softail Deluxe. “It has been a really

A1 exciting adventure,” Hague said of winning. “More than 90,000 people entered and for me to win and to be able to locally purchase it through Luckys was great. They have just treated me so nice.” Brittany Rickord, marketing manager for Lucky Harley-Davidson, said more than 650 dealerships participated in the H-D1 on One National Sweepstakes from Feb. 1 through April 30. Hague said her love of biking came from her boyfriend, Tom Lucas, who owns a HarleyDavidson. Shortly before winning the contest, Hague decided to get her motorcycle endorsement. She’d been practicing on an older Honda Rebel and even took a 20-hour, three-day safety course. “After enough miles of looking at the back of Tom’s helmet, I wanted to get out there and get on one myself,” Hague said.

When she got the call from Lucky HarleyDavidson, she wanted to get out on the bike and ride. But, she admitted, she wasn’t ready to ride a bike of that magnitude. Lucas, she said, had been patiently taking her to a variety of parking lots to learn how to maneuver the bikes. Just a few weekends ago, she took the Softail Deluxe out for its first 100 miles. “When I got that bike up over 60 mph, I just grinned and grinned,” Hague said. “I told Tom, ‘Now I know how you feel!’” Hague is a media consultant for Super Media and she often travels throughout the week for her job. But, one thing is certain, Hague said, as soon as she gets home — she’s out riding. “I live for the weekends, now, just to get back on the bike,” she said.

Roanoke winery showing signs of growth By Linda Lipp lindal@fwbusiness.com

Eric Harris is fluent in the language of wine. It takes very little urging for the co-proprietor of Two EE’s Winery, under construction near Roanoke in Huntington County, to launch into a soliloquy on the merits of various wine grape varieties and winemaking techniques. The Latin-derived terms roll lightly off his tongue; the more gutteral German ones require a bit more effort. Harris, his fiancee, Emily Hart and father, Dave Harris, announced plans for the winery just over a year ago. They originally hoped to have the production facility and tasting room just off U.S. 24 open by spring 2012; but ran into a few complications that delayed their plans. Among other things, the 40-acre site encompassed various flood plains and soil types making it difficult to find just the right location for the 6,000 square foot building, Eric Harris said. And winery construction is still a relatively new concept in this area. “It’s a unique project in the sense that there’s not a lot of precedents in Indiana,� he said.

The steel frame is now going up and the construction work is expected to accelerate. But because there are a lot of variables in a construction project, the owners are reluctant to forecast a new projected opening date. It could still be late this year, or it might be next spring, Harris said. That doesn’t mean the winery isn’t making wine already, however. Two EE’s contracted with wineries in California to grow and crush grapes for them, and Harris goes out to supervise the winemaking. Harris also has been helping out some friends, Brian and Alicia Moeller, who own Briali Vineyards near Fremont. The Moellers expect to open their own winery this month, and Harris has been lending his hands to help pick grapes and his expertise to make their wines. In return, the Moellers have let him use some of their space to store the wines he is making for Two EE’s. Harris started making wines as a hobby, and then improved his knowledge and skills by reading up on the subject. Because he didn’t want to be known as “just the kid who made wine at home,� he said, he went on to study at University of California, Davis, which has a

department of viticulture and enology. The winery planted its first acre of grapevines, derived from European stock, in May. If all goes well and the vines establish themselves quickly, they could produce grapes suitable for winemaking as early as their second year. Harris has done his research, and the rootstocks he selected are the varieties he believes will do best in the northern Indiana climate, which is similar to winemaking areas of Austria and Germany. Although he’s a fan of the big, bold red wines, he said white wines, fruit wines and rosÊs probably are the top choices for the area. But as it turned out, the timing for Two EE’s first planting could have been better. The summer heat and drought were hard on the new plants, and the winery’s well hadn’t yet been drilled. Harris and his coworkers had to bring in tanker trucks of water twice a week through about mid-July, drag out hoses and let gravity pull the water slowly down the hill to irrigate the vineyard. The well was finished just about the time the severe drought ended, See WINERY, page B5

Woodside teacher nets Discovery fellowship Woodside Middle School teacher Leslie Hook was one of 50 teachers nationwide to be selected to take part in the Siemens STEM Institute fellowship sponsored by Siemens and the Discovery Channel. Hook, a seventh-grade teacher, spent five days in the nation’s capitol in a STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — immersion program. Hook, who said she loves taking professional development courses to keep her on the cutting edge of education, was treated to a week of guest speakers and field trips to see scientists at work in real-world settings, solving real-world problems. “We listened to speakers, from Hall Davidson to Reed Timmer from ‘Storm Chasers,’� Hook said. “Our days began at 8 a.m. with team meetings, speakers and small workshops to try out tools to use in the classroom.� Hook said the experience, which included celebrating her birthday amongst the fellows, was amazing. “The entire focus was to make STEM learning more engaging to the students,� Hook said. “It is more student-driven where the teachers are much more of a facilitator instead of reciting facts at the front of the room.� She said teaching science today is different than it was even 10 years ago. Instead of showing students how to be scientists, the focus now is on giving children the skills to apply to up-and-coming fields. “STEM fields are involved in alternate energy, finding cures for cancer and many others. We’re preparing our students for

Fall festival rolls into town The Roanoke Fall Festival has been a tradition for 59 years. With two parades, a tractor pull, demolition derby, amusement rides, carnival food, old-fashioned cake-baking contest, auction and a 5mile run and 1-mile fun run, the event is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Always the weekend following Labor Day, the festival began Thursday, Sept. 6 with carnival rides, a pet parade and the crowning of the prince and princess. Every year, two of the biggest draws of the festival are the tractor

pull on Friday night and the demolition derby on Saturday night. Sponsored by the Roanoke Pullers Association, the events attract plenty of competitors and a great crowd of onlookers. There also is the annual corn-bag toss contest slated for additional Friday night fun. Saturday gets busy early, with the run on Main Street beginning at 7:30 a.m. Throughout the day there will be kids’ games, a car show, pancake-and-sausage breakfast, antique tractor display, cake contest and auction — all followed

by the parade. No festival is complete without music entertainment. Friday evening’s performance is Spike and the Bulldogs playing the golden oldies. Saturday night will feature the Kenny Taylor rockabilly trio. At 5 p.m. on Saturday there also will be a Silly Safaris Live Animal Show for all ages. Sunday concludes the Roanoke Fall Festival with fireworks at the park at dusk. For a complete schedule visit discoverroanoke.org or any Roanoke retailer for a brochure.

WINERY from page B1 and there has been enough rainfall since to keep the vines thriving. But because of that early experience, Harris decided to install conduit allowing for easier irrigation from the well should it be needed in the future. Also still in the future is Eric’s and Emily’s wedding. The pair got officially engaged about the time the winery plans were announced, and the two EE’s in the winery’s name represent their first initials. But she competes in pageants, such as the Miss Indiana USA pageant coming up in October. “Since it’s ‘Miss,’ she can’t be married, so we’ve put that off,” he said. Eric Harris will be the general manager and winemaker of Two EE’s, while Hart will manage the tasting room and direct marketing. Dave

Harris is the chairman of the business. Because they’ve been making their wines elsewhere to start, the tasting room will have its own vintages ready to go when it opens. Eric Harris expects the wines to be moderately priced, at about $10 to $20 per bottle. The winery and

Tackling back-to-school issues

Wine lists earn rave reviews

New school year means parents doing their childrenʼs homework Dr. John Rosemond Living with children

File photo

Two area restaurants were included in Wine Spectator magazine’s 2012 Restaurant Wine List Awards. The magazine gave Joseph Decuis in Roanoke a Best Award of Excellence with a wine list of 400 or more selections. Eddie Merlot’s received an Award of Excellence for having a wine list of 100 or more selections. Wine Spectator said it compiled information on nearly 3,800 restaurants worldwide. Those listed earned honors in one of three award levels: Grand Award, Best Award of Excellence and Award of Excellence, awarded to restaurants with a wine list of 1,500 or more selections.

With the advent of a new school year, it seems appropriate to tackle the issue of homework: more specifically, the question of how involved parents should be and how parents can limit their involvement to only what is necessary. As for the question of how involved parents should be, my unequivocal answer is “not much, if at all.” I am a member of the last generation of kids to do their own homework. We had to because our parents simply expected it of us. Furthermore, I distinctly remember teachers telling us that if there was evidence of parental help on an assignment, it would be graded down. Apparently, those adults knew that accepting personal responsibility would carry one further in life than mere good grades. By and large, today’s parents are enmeshed, entangled and enmired in their children’s homework. The result may be better grades (in the short run, as long as the parent in question maintains his or her involvement), but the weakening of personal responsibility. When, I ask, are administrators, parents and teachers going to get it? Over the past 40 or so years, student achievement has been going down as parental involvement

has been going up. I have been a contrarian voice concerning this issue for a long time. During said long time, I have met many, many parents who have extracted themselves from their children’s homework and successfully resisted peer and school pressure to become re-involved. To a person, they testify that after a period of adjustment of anywhere from a month to a grading period, their children began doing better than ever in school. This should not surprise. For one thing, the child who knows that his parents are not orchestrating his homework chores will pay better attention in class. For those parents who are enmeshed, entangled and enmired and want to experience the joys of homework liberation as well as the immense pleasure of watching a child accept responsibility and perform better as a consequence, my advice is three-fold: First, assign said child his or her very own personal homework place, preferably in his or her very own personal bedroom. That assignment goes a long way toward sending the message “Your homework is indeed YOUR homework.” Second, stand at the ready to serve as a consultant, but set a limit. You might, for instance, make a rule that you will provide assistance on three occasions per

evening and that no such occasion can last longer than five minutes. Suggest to your child that he do all that he can do on his own and then bring the three most vexing homework problems to you. If my experience serves me well, within three months your child will be bringing no more than one problem to you per evening. In the process, he will have discovered that he’s far more capable than he thought he was. Third, set a limit on how late your child can work on homework. Having to put homework away, whether finished or not, at a certain time will force your child to begin managing his time more efficiently — yet another important life skill.

On the cutting edge of the scissors New salon offers 13 private studios By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

Sizzorworks, a fairly new salon situated in Covington Plaza, is unlike any salon in the Fort Wayne area. Its fullservice offerings in a private-studio setting give clients the feel of both privacy and pampering all at the same time, said co-owner Jim Orr. Sizzorworks is Orr’s second salon in the area. Orr, a professional engineer by trade, said he found a passion for running salons and being able to offer support to his stylists. “What makes us different from anyone else is that our owners are not working behind the chair,” Orr said. “We focus 100 percent on the salon, the stylists and the business model.” Orr said this approach allows the stylists’ talent to flourish while he and co-owner Jeff Thomas focus on the business aspect. The two hold monthly meetings with their full-commission staff and offer them key targets, statistics and percentages to help them grow their client lists. “Beauty school focuses on the talent aspect,” Orr said. “But, we get into a whole new chapter with stylists by teaching them about the business side of the industry. We are dedicated owners. We don’t set goals for our stylists, they set their own goals, which we help them reach.” In addition to providing the business oversight, Orr said the salon’s look and feel caters to their clients needs. Instead of sitting in a row of women under a hair dryer, Sizzorworks offers

“What makes us different than anyone else is that our owners are not working behind the chair.” Jim Orr Co-owner, Sizzorworks

• 13 private studios — each its own mini salon with everything a stylist needs within their reach, such as a shampoo

bowl and a hair dryer. To add to the one-on-one feel, stylists are taught to address clients by name,

to offer them a warm cup of coffee or a cold bottle of water and to walk beside them back to the studio. “We teach our stylists that it is all about the experience,” Orr said. “We know our clients enjoy the fact they get one-on-one time with their stylists while having privacy.” The salon, which focuses on “allthings hair,” Orr said, currently boasts 10 stylists. There is room for a barber and its stylists have recently begun delving into nail care. Instead of hiring one nail technician who could get booked up quickly with the salon’s growing clientele, each stylist is certified to do their clients’ nails, too. Since the salon’s debut in January, Orr said business has been phenomenal, with more than 140 walk-ins and a steady, growing list of clients. “We tell our stylists that they want to have a client list of 250 who come in every five weeks. That is the magic number,” Orr said. Orr and Thomas also oversee an aggressive marketing campaign to bring the salon’s name to the community. In addition to a website which allows customers to request an online appointment, clients also are offered text message and email reminders. “These are all automated and clients can opt in or out,” Orr said. “A lot of people are really excited about that. It just enhances our business model.” Orr said clients won’t be disappointed with Sizzorworks, because when a stylist is happy, clients are happy.

Practice some zen during peak driving times Jennifer Hans Don Ayres blogger

School bells will be ringing around the region as many students head back to the classroom after summer break. This means morning and afternoon traffic patterns may change, especially near schools. Sadly, even when you’re obeying traffic signs and signals, you’re bound to come across at least a handful of drivers who are making bad choices on the road during these peak travel times. Do your part to make sure everyone stays safe during this transition. • Leave a few minutes early. It’s hard to know exactly where traffic hiccups may occur, and a little extra time may put you at ease during your commute. • Slow down and pay attention, especially near school bus stops and school crossing zones. Don’t race the clock. Even if you’re way off schedule, remind yourself that it’s better to arrive late than not arrive at all. Be on the lookout for little ones who may dash in a flash. • Focus on the job at hand. Turn off your cell

Steps to theft-deter your car Car thefts and break-ins are increasingly common, but there ARE a few things you can do to make your car less appealing to would-be thieves. At home: • Running into the house just for a minute to grab something you left behind? Turn off your car and take your keys with you. Someone could easily jump in and drive away. • Make a habit of locking your car – even when it’s parked in your garage. This may seem silly, but it’s amazing how many cars are broken into when people are inside their homes. • If you do leave your car unlocked, be sure to keep your garage door opener in an inconspicuous place. A quick-thinking thief may grab your garage door opener and return later. When you’re out and about: • Don’t be tempted to leave your windows down – even just a crack – when you run into a store. It makes access to your car too easy. • Keep valuables and shopping bags in your trunk. There’s no need to tempt fate. • Park in well-lit lots with plenty of foot traffic. A break-in attempt could be easily be thwarted by passers-by. Other smart moves: • Install an alarm, or consider putting alarm stickers on your car windows. (Why not?) • Take advantage of new technology, including ignition locks, hood locks, trunk locks and gasoline cutoff switches. phone, and eliminate other distractions. Excessively loud music, food, and even noisy children in the back-

seat can cause you to take your attention off the road. See CAR page B9

PNC helps children, new library grow John Stoeckley, president of the Roanoke Public Library building corporation recently accepted a $45,000 grant commitment from PNC of Northern Indiana. The grant will be used to fund the building and equipping of the children’s area of the new Roanoke Public Library. The area will be designated as the PNC Grow up Great children’s area. PNC recognizes that learning in a child’s early years is essential for their long-term success. Through PNC Grow Up Great, PNC helps prepare children from birth to age 5 for success in school and life. In addition to the monetary grant, PNC Bank of Roanoke will provide volunteers and educational resources to help families, educators

and community partners provide innovative opportunities that enhance learning and development in a child’s early years. Programs will be held in the Roanoke Public Library. April Kuhnle, assistant vice president and branch manager PNC Roanoke advocated for PNC’s support of the new library. “I am happy to be involved with the development of our local children. They are the going to make tomorrow’s Roanoke great with the right foundation,” Kuhnle said.

Rotary seeks professionals for Austria group study exchange By Valerie Gough vgough@kpcnews.net

It is hard to imagine Kimberly Wagner was ever a shy person. While her tone may be gentle, the director of alumni relations at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne speaks to new people easily and with confidence. But she has not always been this way and credits a local program for peeling back her timid layers. Then assistant director of the First Year Experience program at IPFW, Wagner was quiet, shy and reserved. She rarely spoke up at meetings and typically waited for direction from her superiors to implement projects. But when a colleague suggested she apply for a Rotary Group Study Exchange (GSE) trip to Australia, she thought, “Why not?” “There are a lot of things that before, I would have said, ‘Oh sure, I’ll try it,’ but then I’d back out. I’d find a reason to not go. It was really an intimidation and maybe a lack of self confidence,” Wagner said. “There were times throughout the application process when I thought ‘Don’t go.’ (I tried to) find every excuse to not go through with it because I was scared, I was nervous. But I put myself in there, did my best in the group interview and when I got the phone call, I couldn’t believe it.” She was selected to be

part of the 2007 GSE team — made up of young professionals from different industries in northern Indiana — who spent four weeks in Australia to learn about their respective professions. Wagner was immersed in Australia’s higher education system during her stay, which included five cities with six different host families. She was also afforded the chance to observe Australian criminal justice processes, a subject she taught parttime at IPFW in conjunction with her fulltime role as assistant director. Her days were spent getting hands-on experience, making business connections, giving presentations and attending rotary meetings. Host families were always fellow rotarians and they helped to immerse Wagner in Australian culture. But she was ultimately on her own, something she says built up her confidence and brought her out of her shell. “People saw this change in me when I came back. They saw that I was more motivated. I was more willing to put myself out there,” Wagner said. “It was really about finding my voice and not being afraid to talk. Before, I would sit in a meeting and just kind of listen, whereas when I came back, I was more apt to make my opinion known.”

Members of the Fort Wayne Rotary Club are right now accepting applications for four people to take part May 18-June 15, 2013 in a Group Study Exchange trip to Austria. To be eligible, applicants must be 25 to 40 years of age, employed full time in a recognized business or profession and live in Fort Wayne. Applications must be received by Sept. 30 and can be requested from Rotarian Mike Kelly by calling 481-6620 or emailing kellym@ipfw.edu. Once applicants have gone through the interview process locally, a group interview will take place Saturday, Oct. 27, in Plymouth and attendance is required for consideration. “It’s really a non-rotary program meant to expose different people to the rotary club,” Wagner said. “You don’t automatically become a (rotary) member afterwards, it’s really up to the individual. Personally, I joined because I got so much out of the experience that I intend to spend the rest of my life giving back to that club because they gave so much to me by picking me and allowing me to be part of this GSE experience.”
