Customers flock to Ragin’ Cajun, a gourmet food truck serving the Fort Wayne area. The truck serves New Orleans cuisine including catfish po ‘boys, jambalaya and more. The public can try Ragin’ Cajun at the inaugural Food Stock on Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. at the Shiloh.

Jerry Perez, owner of The Getaway Grill, serves up gourmet Mexican cuisine. The Getaway Grill will be on site for Food Stock, an event sponsored by the Fort Wayne Food Truck Association.

The Shiloh, 3127 Carroll Road, is threefold. First, it dispels any notion someone may have about getting their food from a truck. Second, it introduces new customers to each of the trucks, and, hopefully, spurs repeat business. And, third, it’s a whole lot of fun, Garigen said. “We want to show people that gourmet street food can be done at the highest level,� Garigen said.

Live entertainment will be provided by local bands, The Todd Harrold Band, Afrodesiac and more.

The idea for Food Stock, sponsored by the Fort Wayne Food Truck Association, came at the agreement of each individual truck owner in the

association. Garigen urged the group to take part in one joint venture. “It really was a collaborative effort,� Garigen said. One person secured the bands, another secured the venue and others assisted in developing the concept of the event. Thus, Food Stock was born.

The association, founded by Garigen, began meeting earlier this year. Garigen, who took the dive into the food truck industry with coowner Michelle DuCharme, said the formation of the association was serendipitous.

After extensive research while preparing to launch Jumby’s, Garigen and DuCharme learned plenty See FOOD, page A8

A giant night of food, fun and live entertainment will introduce the city’s newest food vendors to the public. Food Stock, set for Oct. 12 at 6 p.m., will put the spotlight on Fort Wayne’s food trucks.

Maybe you’ve seen the colorful mobile kitchens rolling around town, preparing to set up shop at the hint of a bustling location. There is Jumby’s Joint serving up gourmet American classics, Bravas Dogs offering gourmet hot dogs, Bravas Food Truck selling gourmet Spanish cuisine, The Getaway Grill with gourmet Mexican, Ragin’ Cajun selling Creole classics and Affine Food Truck dishing up a farm-to-fork gourmet plates.

Tasting passes will be available, allowing guests to sample each of the trucks’ specialties, said Jim Garigen, co-owner of Jumby’s Joint and president of the Fort Wayne Food Truck Association.

Additional menu items will be available for purchase from each truck. Also taking part in the event will be Kernel Coladas with gourmet popcorn and Whip ‘N Chill serving up sweet treats.

Garigen said the event, which will take place at

Carroll High School recently announced it tallied the largest enrollment in the school’s history with a student body of 2,048.

The numbers, reported to the Indiana Department of Education on Sept. 14, constitute the school’s 2012 average daily membership. The numbers are used to determine how much funding the school will receive from the IDOE. The increase of nearly 84 students came as no surprise to Chris Himsel, superintendent of Northwest Allen County Schools. He said the district constantly is monitoring enrollment numbers, by individual school and by grade level. “We’ve been increasing for the past 20 years,�

Himsel said. “We knew the former eighth-grade class was larger. It was anticipated.�

Himsel said the district

Himsel added teachers at the school in June in core subjects to prepare for the growth.

If numbers continue to increase, Himsel said, the school could reach its maximum size within the next three to four years. “When the current sixth-grade class becomes the freshman class and the current freshman class are seniors, (Carroll) will reach its peak,� Himsel said. “After that, it sort of stabilizes from there.�

Himsel said he doesn’t expect the district — or CHS — to exceed future enrollment projections unless the area experiences

another growth spurt. “We don’t have a continuous growing enrollment, but we also have a lot of land out here that isn’t developed yet,� Himsel said. “That is what will keep us growing.�

Overall, the district grew by nearly 200 students this year. In addition to the 84 students Carroll picked up, Carroll Middle School grew by 10 students; Maple Creek Middle School added 27; Eel River Elementary School gained 60 students; Huntertown Elementary School enrolled 27 more; and Cedar Canyon Elementary School increased by 40 students.

Not all schools grew, Himsel said. Perry Hill Elementary School saw a modest drop of 16 students and Hickory Center Elementary School has 23 less this year. Both Oak View and Arcola elementary schools’ enrollments dropped by three students.

Pet lovers and their furry friends take part in the 2011 Walk for Animals to help abused and neglected pets. Any pet is welcome to attend with their owner, not just dogs and cats.

A second chance "Y 6ALERIE 'OUGH vgough@kpcnews.net

To see him today, one would never know Hooch, a mixed-breed American bulldog, had nearly died earlier this year.

His previous owner, who had a history of mental illness, called Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control in January asking for help. She needed assistance to remove the body of a deceased dog and needed medical attention for another dog with a sore neck, she said. “When we got there we realized it was much more than that,� said Peggy Bender, community relations and education specialist at FWACC. The owner had tethered both dogs to overhead beams in the basement using long chains and choke collars. Without much room to move around, the dog that died had panicked and tried to pull away, suffocating on the choke chain. As for Hooch, the choke chain was so deeply embedded into his skin, his neck was nearly severed.

The owner signed Hooch over to Animal Care and Control, giving the agency the legal right

to remove him from the chain and take him into their care. The owner was later prosecuted for animal cruelty. “Cruelty is defined as knowingly and intentionally doing harm, but we don’t have many of those — it’s neglect,� Bender said. “That’s what we see so much more of — (pets) living in filth or feces, chained up, those kinds of things. Most dogs like (Hooch) aren’t able to be saved. But, as it turned out, the dog did survive and ended up with a very nice personality. When it was all said and done, the dog healed and could be adopted.�

Animal Care Specialist Holly Kimpel took Hooch home for additional foster care and eventually adopted him as her own.

While not every story ends well, Hooch’s is one that proves animal victims of cruelty or neglect can have a second chance at a happy life. FWACC dedicates its Walk for Animals event each year to a different animal who was saved from a cruelty situation. This year’s walk honors Hooch, who will be escorted to the event

Anxiety. Something I have struggled with ever since I can remember.

Even as a little girl I remember feeling like something was different about me. Then the teenage years almost were unbearable (probably more so for my parents). I became angry, moody, depressed — you name it I had the emotion.

As a teen, my mother finally convinced me to see a counselor but he simply irritated me more — why would I want to discuss feelings? I was a teenager!

In my 20s I discovered anti-depressants. Again, you name it, I tried it. I almost found excitement in seeing what side effects each medication would bring. Weight gain was the obvious one. I finally found one that worked and didn’t make me gain weight but the bald spot on the back of my head was something I wasn’t expecting. It was exhausting trying to find

Smith the perfect legal drug to make me feel normal; not worrying, not anxious, not irritated.

I even tried selfmedicating with alcohol. It felt good at the time but the hangovers were unbearable — not only physically but mentally.

Then in my 30s I discovered the best drug of all…yoga! I had been a dancer since I was 3 years old and I was teaching at my sister’s dance studio when she decided to bring in a yoga instructor for her students to work on flexibility.

With all the hype about yoga, I had my preconceived notions. You know

them: that yoga isn’t a workout, it’s just sitting there and it’s boring.

Needless to say, all of my notions were wrong. I couldn’t believe I was sweating by holding a warrior II pose for a few deep breaths. I couldn’t believe I had trouble holding my own body weight in a plank pose (I always had lifted weight s at the gym). Most of all, I couldn’t believe that my mind could not stop racing during final relaxation, a form of meditation where students lie on their mats in stillness and silence.

All I could think about was how stupid it was to be wasting time like this. I had so much to do that evening and we were just lying here doing nothing. I left feeling confused, but I decided to try it again and this time I surrendered to the practice.

Once I did that, it was the best feeling I had ever experienced. When class was over, I knew I was hooked.

I’m now in my 40s and See YOGA, page A9

Nearly five years ago on a veranda beneath a starry, crystalline sky in the Arizona desert, Austin Schlie, moved not by forethought but by the moment, kissed his good friend and medical school study partner.

Neither he nor Sarah Henderson-Hall was looking for a relationship, or even an eventual spouse for that matter, but if that first kiss had never happened, there wouldn’t be this love story to tell.

A love story about each other, about the servant heart, and about family and community.

And in this case, it’s Austin’s community, for the young doctor has returned home to tend to the ailing, and he’s brought with him his physician wife and their young daughter. The couple, part of the Lutheran Medical Group, will open a family practice in Leo in late August.

Austin, a native of nearby Grabill and graduate of Woodlan Junior/Senior High School, always knew he would come home “to take care of the people I grew

up with. That’s the way I was raised. That’s what you do. You help take care of the people who took care of you and made you who you are.�

If that sounds like the community is an extended family, that’s precisely how Austin and Sarah Schlie, both 32, view it.

They want to create a family-like culture at the Leo practice that essentially establishes friendships with patients by taking the time to listen and providing individual patient-centered care.

Friendship, after all, was and still is the cornerstone of the Schlies’ bond — and it has worked out so well, even if it took a little serendipity. And a fair amount of time.

Their story begins with Austin, a graduate of Wabash College, and Sarah, a native of Reno, Nev., and a graduate of the University of NevadaReno, meeting in their freshman year at the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. Sarah helped Austin with biochemistry. Both belonged to the same study group.

Over the next few years, Austin and Sarah developed a friendship, seeing each other in class and

The couple recently concluded construction on their $1-million Lutheran Medical Group office at 10429 Hosler Road. calling each other occasionally about schoolwork.

Sometimes, Sarah would invite Austin to pool parties. “Yeah,� Austin piped up, “cause I was a homebody. I’d stay home all the time if you’d let me.�

In time, they discovered that they shared the same philosophies about medicine, especially the importance of preventive care. “You look at patients and they’re so far gone into their illness,� Sarah said. “And you think, if someone had just gotten to them earlier and started explaining, ‘If you watch your weight, if you watch

what you eat, if you exercise ‌’ But now, for them, there’s really no coming back.�

Added Austin: “If someone had only taken a little bit of time in the beginning.�

Fellow students at the medical school began noticing the seemingly inextricable link between Austin and Sarah and told Sarah, at least, that the two would make a perfect couple.

Even Austin had come to the conclusion that, on a purely professional front, “if there was somebody in that whole group of students I wanted to practice with, it would be her.

Betsy Draper Account Executive

Maryann Ulmer Account Executive

Hands down. We worked well together. We had similar ideas.�

But it wasn’t until Sarah invited Austin to the wedding of two of her close college friends in Cave Creek, Ariz., that the friendship became something more. They danced, they played games and as they left an after-party, Austin gave Sarah a spurof-the-moment kiss that left both of them a little stunned. “To be honest,� Austin said, “I didn’t want a girlfriend. I didn’t want a wife.�

Said Sarah: “I guess I was kind of shocked. It was kind of like, ‘Well, hmmmm.’�

It could have ended up being nothing more than a passing flirtation because Sarah left the next day for hospital rotations in Colorado that would have kept them apart for a year See TIES page A8

Allen County 4-H Clubs, Inc. will host its inaugural 5K run/walk event on Oct. 13 to raise money for the youth development organization.

4-H hopes to earn funds from 5K "Y .ICHOLE (ACHA 4HOMAS nthomas@kpcnews.net

Allen County 4-H Clubs, Inc. will sponsor its inaugural 5K run/walk event on Oct. 13 at Hickory Center Elementary School, 3606 Baird Road.

Heather Anderson, a member of the organization’s marketing committee and the 5K event chair, has been involved with Allen County 4H for more than a decade.

As a mom with two sons who are both involved in 4-H, Anderson knows the value of the organization.

One of Anderson’s sons enjoys showing livestock while her second son likes to research and create sports posters. Both, she said, have learned responsibility and how to work on a deadline. They have established plenty of friendships with other 4-H kids, too, Anderson said.

“4-H is so beneficial, not just to my kids, but to all who take part,” Anderson said. “They’ll have made friends that they’ll keep forever.”

While 4-H plays such an important part of youth development with after-school activities, individual enrichment projects and community service projects, it takes plenty of money to keep the program running and costs low.

“We do fundraising all year long to supplement the general fund throughout the year,” Anderson said. “It takes a lot of money to do all we do.”

So, when Anderson was asked to help come up with a few fundraising activities, she thought of a 5K. Anderson said the group had organized golf outing and other fundraisers in the past. Because one of her sons runs cross country, Anderson said, she thought a 5K would bring in much-needed funds.

“Events like a 5K are very big right now,” Anderson said. “We wanted to keep it a family-friendly event.”

The walk/run will begin with registration at 8 a.m. at the school and the course will follow a pre-existing cross country course.

Anderson said while the main purpose of the race is to raise money, the 4-H crew also will treat the event as a way to spread the word about 4-H and all it offers the kids of Allen County.

“We really want to reach out to the community and raise awareness of 4-H,” Anderson said. “We will have 4H literature about the programs available and people can see it is so much more than showing livestock.”

The cost to register is $15 in advance and includes a race T-shirt. Race day registration is $20 and T-shirts aren’t guaranteed. Registrations can be mailed to Allen County 4-H Clubs, Inc. at 4001 Crescent Ave., Fort Wayne, 4615.

Awards medallions will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each of seven age categories.

Anderson said the race committee still is seeking sponsorships as it would like to net more than $2,000 from the event. Sponsors can contact Anderson by email at handerson@eacs.k12.in.us.

“We hope everyone will come out and have fun and learn a little bit about 4-H,” Anderson said. Refreshments will be available, provided by the Eel River 4-H Club.

Families enjoyed a day at the farm during Salomon Farm Park’s annual Fall Harvest Festival, held Sept. 21-22.

Activities included corn husking and shredding, live animals, oat and wheat threshing, hay rides and antique farm displays. In addition, on Sept. 22, festival-goers enjoyed an antique tractor parade, a farmers market, butter making, cow milking and live musical entertainment.

Mathnasium a national site for trimathlon Mathnasium of Fort Wayne will host a trimathlon on Sept. 29. The competition will take place at its learning center location at 479 E Dupont Road.

Registration for the trimathlon is free and open to all students in third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades attending public, private or home school. The event is intended to create excitement about math among area students and schools.

The contest consists of three challenges: the counting game tests student’s ability to count from any

number, to any number, by any number; magic squares where students are awarded points for developing their own math problems; and mental math workout, which evaluates student’s number sense by asking them to solve given problems the ‘smart’ way without pencil and paper. Questions become progressively more difficult for students in higher grade levels.

Students first will compete locally at Mathnasium of Fort Wayne.

Along with medals for first-, secondand third-place winners, each partic-

ipant will receive a certificate of achievement for their involvement.

National trimathlon winners will be selected from the top three scorers in each grade level from all participating Mathnasium locations.

The 12 national winners will receive honors and split $10,000 in cash prizes. Microsoft is a promotional partner this year, and will also be donating XBOX 360 Kinect video games as prizes for each of the local first-place winners.

Leo comedienne delivers laughs to Fort Wayne Stephanie Holmes, a former Leo resident now living and working in New York City, N.Y., performing stand-up comedy shows, recently returned to the Fort Wayne area to bring laughs to her hometown.

The Leo Jr.-Sr. High School graduate performed at 816 Pint and Slice on Aug. 31. She performed two shows.

Holmes, who moved to the Big Apple in 2004, is pursuing her craft at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy while working on-stage and via YouTube.

addition, six prize packages will be awarded based on dollar amounts raised and turned in on Oct. 14.

Businesses can become involved as a vendor or through sponsorship by calling 427-2590.

Pledge forms are available at Animal Care and Control, at local veterinary hospitals, and online registration is open at fwacc.org.

Bender said FWACC has seen a variety of animals participate in the walk — some on

leashes, in pet carriers, and even toted around in a little red wagon.

In addition to dogs and cats, FWACC has seen tiny ponies, hedgehogs and pet reptiles at the event.

Now in its 25th year, Walk for Animals hopes to top its past attendance numbers of 300-350 people.

"People don't have to bring their dogs. We just want people who support the fight against animal cruelty and neglect to participate in any way that they can."

of lessons. When the duo happened upon Bo Gonzalez, owner of both Bravas, they offered their tips and tricks to him.

Gonzalez was happy to have an ally in the relatively uncharted Fort Wayne waters.

As more and more food truck operators learned of the new group — and the other owner-operators — the association began to take shape.

“Nobody knew the other person was opening a food truck,” Garigen said.

“Once we started talking, (the Fort Wayne Food Truck Association) sort of ballooned from there.”

Garigen said the association provides one voice with city government and the Allen County Board of Health. The group already has been instrumental in having

one ordinance changed and members have worked on some legislative issues, too.

A byproduct of the association, Garigen said, has been the cooperative spirit of all the owners. Even though they all cook up and serve food from a truck, they don’t see themselves as competition. Instead, they work together to give food trucks a good name.

“Everybody helps everybody else out. If there is a double-booking, we’re on the phone helping each other out,” Garigen said. “I am so blessed to have met each of these truck owners. Without them, there is no association.”

and half — and in all likelihood put a damper on any kind of flowering romance. Austin, meanwhile, stayed in Arizona.

But the two started talking by phone every day, and Austin eventually secured rotations in Colorado so he could be closer to Sarah. A short time later, they were married, and in 2009 they greeted daughter Madilynn, now 3, into the world.

It was a struggle, they admitted, getting through residency at the Fort Wayne Medical Education Program. The marriage was young. They had a child to raise. And the residency hours were sometimes long and the schedules unpredictable.

“But we thought, ‘If we can make it through this, we can make it through anything,’ ” Austin said. “We’ve seen each other at our worst, that’s for sure.”

They had help from Austin’s parents, Denny and Melody Schlie, who took care of Madilynn when Austin and Sarah couldn’t. And they had each other, seamless partners not only in life but in work.

They look squarely into each other’s eyes when they talk about their journey, sometimes finishing each other’s sentences. They smile and laugh with gleeful abandon. And if there is even a smidgen of discord in their lives, it vanishes in the space between them.

Austin will tell you that he loves Sarah because “she cares deeply about everyone.

When you’re a patient in the room and you have Sarah, you know she is totally invested in you. And she’s a great mother and a great wife.”

Sarah will tell you that she loves Austin because “he’s a hard worker and a great dad. And he’s funny and he makes me laugh. He’s fun to travel with, too.”

She also leans on him for business

matters, although Austin said she is perfectly capable of handling them herself.

“She was top of the class, you know,” he said.

The couple live in the 120-year-old Grabill house where Austin grew up. They bought the house from his parents, who moved to Spencerville.

The couple recently concluded construction on their $1-million Lutheran Medical Group office at 10429 Hosler Road so they can begin fulfilling their “servant” role for the people living in and around Leo. They envision offering programs and workshops on prevention, and creating a nurturing clinic environment that doesn’t stop with the doctors entrusted to its operation.

“I just want an office where you go in there and you feel welcomed and you know your nurse and your nurse knows your story,” said Sarah. “And that starts with us.”

For the Schlies, it’s back to that friend thing again.

“I mean,” said Austin, “who can you really talk to honestly other than your friends? So if (patients) are your friends, you can all sit down and have real open and honest communication.”

The couple is also looking forward to some semblance of normalcy in a smalltown physician life that, they said, might very well play out until the day they retire.

Said Austin: “That’s what we’re really looking forward to now as a couple is really working on …” “… having fun together,” Sarah said.

“Yeah, just being together,” said Austin.

“You know, we’re planning our honeymoon now. We never had a honeymoon.”

I’ve been practicing yoga ever since.

I can honestly say that it is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me. It’s gotten me out of my head and into my body.

There’s no more of a “high� for me as a good yoga class. The days of trying to medicate are long gone. Yoga is my medication. If I go a few days without it, I can tell, both physically and mentally.

Sure, it’s probably not for everyone but I personally can’t imagine where I’d be right

now without it.

If you are having similar issues, come and see if yoga is right for you — you might just be surprised.

Orange Leaf picks Dupont location "Y .ICHOLE (ACHA 4HOMAS nthomas@kpcnews.net

Photo by Nichole Hacha-Thomas

The store manager at Orange Leaf Fort Wayne on Dupont Road gets a fresh-made waffle cone ready for a customer to fill it with frozen yogurt and a host of toppings.

The self-serve frozen yogurt, or “froyo,� trend continues with the opening of Orange Leaf Yogurt at 2870 E. Dupont Road. In a city packed with frozen yogurt options, Jim Parrott, owner of Orange Leaf Fort Wayne, said he had to be confident his product would rise above others before he opened Fort Wayne’s first location of the chain based in Oklahoma, Okla.

Already the owner of Parrott Press, a printing company started by his grandfather, Parrott didn’t jump into the industry blind. “I did a lot of tastetesting,� Parrott said. “And about a year ago, I began investigating whether Orange Leaf would be a good fit for Fort Wayne.�

Parrott’s primary reason for choosing an Orange Leaf franchise, he said, was because he felt Orange Leaf had a superior product with its yogurt made fresh right on site. It isn’t “frozen,

thawed and refrozen� before landing in customers’ bowls, he said.

Specially made machines whip more air

into the yogurt, giving it a creamier taste, Parrott added.

Freshly made waffle cones, at no additional charge, can be piled high

with a medley of 16 selections from Birthday Cake Oreo to Snickerdoodle and White See LEAF, page A16

World recordsetting Jennifer Pharr Davis, left, leads a hike through the Tom and Jane Dustin Nature Preserve in Huntertown after giving an inspirational speech about her endeavors.

Pharr Davis answered questions and shared her observations while on the 90-minute hike.

Record-setting hiker stops

by Huntertown "Y .ICHOLE (ACHA 4HOMAS nthomas@kpcnews.net

Area residents were INSPIRE-d on Sept. 16 when world recordholding hiker, Jennifer Pharr Davis, stopped by the Tom and Jane Dustin Nature Preserve in Huntertown.

Pharr Davis spoke to hikers as part of the Ivy Tech Community College-Northeast’s INSPIRE Academy, which provides a number of events, exhibits and opportunities to inspire not only the college’s students but the community at-large, also.

Pharr Davis is both an author and a professional hiker, who has hiked more than 12,000 miles on six continents. She was named the 2012 Adventurer of Year by National Geographic for her record-setting 2,181mile hike along the Appalachian Trail. The hike took her 46 days, 11 hours and 20 minutes to complete — an average of 46.9 miles each day.

She is the first woman to

hold the overall record.

Pharr Davis spoke to the group about her experiences on the trail, including being struck by lightning, and being sure to appreciate the beauty of nature while in its presence. “The wilderness is there for everyone at every phase of life,� she told those in attendance. “It’s never about how far you go or how fast you travel, it’s just about what you take from the experience.�

In addition to being the Adventurer of the Year, Pharr Davis also holds endurance records on the Appalachian Trail, Long Trail and Bibbulmun Track. She is the owner of Blue Ridge Hiking Company and the author of “Becoming Odyssa.�

After her speech, Pharr Davis accompanied hikers through the Tom and Jane Dustin Nature Preserve before heading down Chapman and Shoaff roads to the Bicentennial Woods.

All in all, Pharr Davis spent 90 minutes on the

trails talking with area residents, said Shane Perfect, project manager at ACRES Land Trust. “We all took turns walking up front with her and it gave everyone a chance to talk with her and ask her their questions one-on-one while hiking,� Perfect said. “She’d drop back from time to time and talk to hikers.�

Perfect said Pharr Davis encouraged everyone to get to know the trails in their area.

While, Pharr Davis hadn’t been a professional hiker before she set her sites on conquering the Appalachian Trail, she made up her mind and set out to reach her goals. “People may think that they don’t have time to get out and hike, but she really puts it into perspective with all she accomplished. All you need is a half our or so and you can get out and enjoy the nature in your own backyard,� Perfect said.

In addition to speaking

at the nature preserve, Pharr Davis spoke at Prairie Heights High School and at Ivy Tech’s Coliseum Campus the following day. “Jennifer was very well received at each place she visited,� Aja Michael, assistant director of marketing at Ivy Tech Community College-Northeast. “A lot of people were really inspired by her story and interested in going to hike the trail themselves, despite all the complications she faced. She pointed out that when you’re pushed to the limits, it becomes clear what really matters.�

From harvest to holiday &AMILY &EATURES As the season changes, so does your recipe repertoire. But, to create a memorable meal, you don’t need fancy techniques, elaborate dishes, or even professional grade cookware. What you need are classic styles, good wine and do-able recipes.

Here are some easy ways you can make your dinner one to remember, from the

start of harvest through the holidays.

Setting Don’t worry if you’re not a craft maven or can’t quite pull off the table setting ideas you see on Pinterest. Just iron a pretty tablecloth and set of napkins — you’ll be surprised how elegant the table will look with crisp linens. For a centerpiece, set out your favorite tray

with a few votive candles.

Wine Good wine doesn’t have to be complicated. If you’re feeling bold, try a robust Cabernet Sauvignon, and if you’re feeling sassy, try a crisp Pinot Grigio.

Recipe No matter what your main dish, make sure you have side dishes that are

also full of flavor. This recipe for Oven Roasted Root Vegetables is an easy, elegant addition to the holiday table. The harvest season is the best time to serve fresh vegetables, and roasting them sweetens their flavor. Add fresh herbs for just the right highlight – with very little work from you.

Oven–Roasted Root–Vegetable Ingredients: Vegetable cooking spray 3 medium red potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces 2 cups fresh or frozen

Explore fall fruits and veggies Summertime may seem the ideal time for harvesting fruits and vegetables, but there are plenty of crops that come into season in autumn that can make delicious additions to daily diet.

Using seasonal crops eliminates the need for importing produce, helping the environment as a result.

So what produce is prime for picking come September through November? Here’s a look at the items to pick for fall menu planning.

Fruit Apples: Early autumn is prime season for apple picking. Take to the orchards and choose favorite varieties among the red-, yellow- and green-hued options.

Blueberries: Though widely considered a summertime fruit, blueberry are often in season through September. Get them while they last.

Blackberries: Those who live in rural areas may find blackberries growing wild, just waiting to be picked. Use shallow boxes instead of bags so that blackberries do not get crushed during transport. Expect wild blackberries to be smaller than commercially cultivated ones.

Figs: Fig trees offer an abundance of sweet delights this time of year.

For individuals lucky to have a fig tree in the yard, simply go out and pluck a handful of figs for a fiber-filled treat.

Grapes: Grapes are available at the super-

Vegetables Broccoli: Harvest broccoli in the autumn and enjoy a healthy addition to salads, casseroles and pasta. Research shows that broccoli loses much of its nutritional value when microwaved, so it’s best when lightly steamed.

Cabbage: Cabbage is often considered an autumn vegetable, although it is routinely available year-round.

Perhaps that’s because of the ornamental cabbage plants that are coolweather lovers. Make soups or a late-season slaw with fresh cabbage.

Corn: Perhaps no vegetable is more synonymous with autumn than corn. Sweet corn is harvested every fall and

Eggplant: Eggplant is available through September in many areas.

A main component of the dish ratatouille, eggplant is also ideal in Italian meals or as part of vegetarian sandwiches.

Carrots: Autumnharvested carrots have a deeper flavor than spring varieties.

Mushrooms: Now is the time to harvest wild mushrooms. However, it may be safer to choose among the many at the

supermarket or local farmer.

Pumpkins: Of course pumpkins are known to be fall vegetables. While they are often carved, the flesh can be used in salads, soups and in baked goods.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry. Two more flavors, Parrott said, than any other frozen yogurt chain.

“We have 65 different flavors available, and we rotate them in and change our lineup quickly,” Parrott said. “We’ve got Oatmeal Cookie, Pumpkin Pie and Caramel Apple starting in October.”

Gluten-free and lactose-free options also are available.

Once customers settle on their “froyo,” they can add a host of toppings including fresh fruit, crushed Oreos, bursting boba balls filled with fruit and a host of others.

The entire experience is less than 50 cents per ounce, Parrott said.

Almost as important to Parrott as Orange Leaf’s product was its concept.

Parrott said the 2,189-square-foot store is upbeat — it has bright orange couches against leafy, green walls — and welcoming to everyone. A big screen TV graces the walls, the store has free WiFi and specially designed kids’ tables are a treat for Orange Leaf’s smallest customers. Even the spoons are different

— they’re shaped like little shovels.

“We want to have a relaxing atmosphere where everyone can sit and be comfortable,” Parrott said. “It is a fun and cool place with a good family environment.”

Orange Leaf must be doing something right, Parrott said, because the company has grown quickly with 195 locations in 35 states since 2010 and 95 more set to open soon. There are 15 Indiana stores and 11 in development.

Parrott said Orange Leaf’s dedication to its franchise owners and the communities they serve was the final reason he sealed the deal with Orange Leaf. The company encourages giving back through fundraising nights and other avenues.

“We want to be involved in our community,” Parrott said. “Orange Leaf’s philosophy of being a familyfriendly place that supports our community really put it over the top.”

Golfers tee off during the annual Dick Thornton Golf Classic to raise funds for MS re search.

When Richard Thornton was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis on April 1, 1996, the Fort Wayne resident thought it was an elaborate April Fool’s Day prank.

“I asked the doctor if he was kidding,” Thornton said of the fateful day.

He wasn’t.

When Thornton was diagnosed, he already was familiar with the dreadful autoimmune disease affecting the brain and spinal cord — both his mother and brother suffered from it. Today the number of those afflicted with MS in Thornton’s family has risen to four.

“I worry about my grandkids and my kids getting MS,” Thornton said. Four of us in our family have it now. It is important to me to find a cure for MS, because they are finding out that (getting MS) is more and more genetic. I do not want them to have it.” Instead of sitting idly by and bemoaning his fate, Thornton continued his work building trucks for five years after his diagnosis. And, more importantly, he began walking in the Walk MS:

Northeast, a fundraising walk sponsored by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

As a way to raise funds for his team, Thornton hosted several bowling tournaments. Eight years ago, though, his son came up with the idea to switch to a golf outing. Thus, the Dick Thornton Golf Outing for MS was born.

The first year, Thornton’s golf outing brought in nine teams and raised $4,000 for the cause.

It’s gotten bigger and better ever since.

The 2012 outing, held Sept. 15 at Foster Park Golf Course, played host to 19 teams of four golfers and a host of corporate sponsors.

Thornton said planning a golf outing isn’t easy. Add a debilitating disease and it’s downright inconceivable. This year, Thornton said, he began planning in early spring.

“I just don’t think of it, I know I have it and it is just something I have to put up with,” Thornton said.

“Since my MS has gotten worse, I started back in March.”

The preparation tasks included reserving the golf course, collecting prizes for both the silent auction and raffle, securing corporate

hole sponsors and, of course, recruiting golfers.

“This year we have 19 teams,” Thornton said. “We have a mix of repeat players, but plenty of new faces, too. The local businesses bring in golfers or get teams together themselves. Golfers come from all over.”

Hole sponsorships, Thornton said, cover the cost of the meal served to golfers and other things such as event T-shirts and a golfer’s goodie bag.

After the golfing was finished, players took part in the silent auction and raffle to net the cause even more money. Items included gift cards from local businesses and more.

Thornton, for all his hard work, said he’s got big plans for the golf classic bearing his name.

“I would like this to get as big as the breast cancer golf outing. More people are finding out about MS and the more we raise, the more goes to the MS Society for research and MS support groups. I’d love to see this grow,” Thornton said.

All proceeds from the golf outing will be donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society on Thornton’s behalf.

National Multiple Scle-

rosis Society marketing manager Amanda Shelley said Thornton and his fundraising activities are extremely important to the organization.

“Dick is a valued champion for our organization and does a great job raising both funds and awareness for our cause,” Shelley said.

Though the 2012 golf outing was successful, Thornton said he’ll soon be hanging up his golf clubs, due the disease’s progression on his 60-year-old body. He said his nephew has volunteered to carry on the golf outing in the future.

“It is getting hard for me to do this,” Thornton said.

“This is going to be my last one.”

Camp hosts live and silent auction

During the month of October, area Casa Ristoranti Italiano restaurants will conduct a fundraising campaign for the Fort Wayne charity, Camp Watcha Wanna-Do. The camp, which was founded in 1992, provides a one week summer-camp experience to children battling cancer or youth cancer survivors.

Kids at Camp Watcha Wanna-Do are treated to boating, hiking, archery, swimming, crafts, music and much more during their week of fun. Unlike other summer camps, though, Camp Watcha Wanna-Do has to have a large number of medical staff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including pediatric oncologists, hematologists and more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a lot of fundraising in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Parisi, director of operations for Casa Ristoranti Italiano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The owner, Jim Casaburo is on the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors and each year he spends a week at Camp Potawatomi. We actually approached Jim and said weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to put something together to raise money for the camp.â&#x20AC;?

So, to celebrate the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 35th anniversary in October, the four Fort Wayne locations will kick off the Camp Watcha Wanna-Do campaign, which will please both customers and the camp, Parisi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We figured our anniversary would be a great time to raise some funds to give back to the community,â&#x20AC;? Parisi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, we figured weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do it in two ways. First, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give our customers $5 off with a coupon we are circulating all over the city. And, for every coupon redeemed,

Camp Watcha Wanna-Do will host a live and silent auction on Friday, Oct. 19 at the Pine Valley Country Club, 10900 Pine Mills Road, from 7-10:30 p.m.

The event will include horâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres, desserts and music along with a specialty cocktail tasting. A live and silent auction featuring items such as trips, sporting events, sports memorabilia and the chance to win a pair of diamond earrings worth $3,000.

Tickets are $75 per person and can be purchased from the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at campwatchawannado.com.

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give Camp Watcha Wanna-Do $1. It really is winwin for everybody.â&#x20AC;?

The coupon appears in this publication, as well as on the restaurant chainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and in various other locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more we post it, the more people can redeem it. I want to present the largest check possible to the Camp Watcha Wanna-Do organization,â&#x20AC;? Parisi said.

In addition to raising funds for the camp, Parisi said, the restaurants also will raise awareness about Camp Watcha Wanna-Do. A card with information about the camp, its history and mission will be present on each table, on the back of the chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feature card. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a just a tool to get the camp money and get its name out in the community,â&#x20AC;? Parisi said.

Rotary seeks professionals for Austria group study exchange "Y 6ALERIE 'OUGH 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 See ROTARY, page A21
