Local chapter feeding thousands By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

Smoking now is banned in most businesses, including area restaurants. Area owners said they’ve seen little change.
City eateries adjusting to new smoking ban New Haven restaurant owners see little change Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
If the hoopla leading up to the implementation of the Indiana Smoke Free Air Law was to be believed, come July 1 the tables inside the former smoking section at every
restaurant in New Haven would sit empty because those customers would stay home instead. Nearly three weeks later, area business owners say the smoking law, which prohibits lighting up See BAN, page A13
About 50 volunteers met June 30 at Grace Gathering Church in New Haven to pack meals for the Fort Wayne chapter of Kids Against Hunger. The day after a massive storm left more than 88,000 area residents without electricity, local Kids Against Hunger founders Alex and Emily Lengacher and their three sons were without power and Emily wondered whether the family should cancel the planned food-packing event. “Alex and I personally didn’t have power,” said Emily Lengacher. “We didn’t even know if anyone would show up, but we got there and all 50 volunteers showed up. And some of them didn’t have power themselves. It was good to continue to do the work, even though we were suffering a little bit.” The work, Lengacher explains, consisted of packing 10,000 meals for starving children in India. To date, the local organization has packed 172,638 meals since its inception in the fall of 2011. Those meals have been sent to far-flung places like Honduras, Haiti, Kenya and Uganda. Meals also have found their way stateside to American citizens in need. The local chapter’s parent organization, based in Minneapolis, Minn., has packed millions of meals through its 95 satellite chapters. The Fort Wayne chapter organizes public packing events like the one at Grace Gathering Church a few times a year. But, it also hosts packing events at the request of other service organizations and churches. Lengacher said KAH provides the food, while the requesting group provides the volunteers and the funds to cover the costs of food. At the recent public packing event, volunteers shoveled four basic ingredients into meal packs. Each included rice, a high-protein soy, dehydrated vegetables and a 21-vitamin mixture. The cost of each meal is 23 cents, which includes the ingredients, shipping and some overhead costs.

Volunteers pack meals for children in India during a packing event scheduled by the Fort Wayne chapter of Kids Against Hunger. To date, the organization has packed and sent more than 172,000 meals. Food is sent to a variety of locations, both in the U.S. and overseas. Lengacher said most of the organization’s financial support comes from private donors. For such a small price, Lengacher said, the meals have a big impact. “The organization has seen incredible success with children who are incredibly malnourished. They come to life after just a few days of eating the meals and they can focus on learning and having fun and being kids,” Lengacher said. Though the Fort Wayne chapter of Kids Against Hunger doesn’t have any public packing events scheduled now, Lengacher said it most likely will host another event in October. She said the group always is willing and ready to plan private packing events in the meantime. For more information about the local chapter of Kids Against Hunger, visit kah-fortwayne.org.
EACS ISTEP+ scores released With a majority of Hoosier students passing the state administered ISTEP+ exam, Leo Elementary School topped area scores in both English/language arts (E/LA) and math with a 90 percent passing rate. ISTEP+ is given each spring to approximately 500,000 students in third through eighth grades to gauge their progress in the classroom. Overall, 71 percent of Indiana students passed both the E/LA and math portions of the test during the 2011-12 school year — a 1 percent gain on the previous school year, and an 8 percent gain since the 2008-09 school year. East Allen County Schools followed the statewide trend, also with passing rates up 8 percent since the 2008-09

school year and in math, EACS students saw a 9 percent increase. Fifthgrade students improved scores by more than 3 percent on both portions of the test; EACS students in sixth through eighth grades had a 5 percent and 4 percent increase, respectively. Two EACS schools made strides toward better scores this year: Meadowbrook Elementary improved its passing rate by almost 10
percent, while Woodburn Elementary improved by 6 percent. The district also is celebrating Cedarville Elementary third-graders who had 93 percent passing E/LA and 92 percent passing the math portion of the test. The same cannot be said however for Prince Chapman Academy, which saw its passing rate come in below 50 See ISTEP, page A12

Dr. Andy Hogue Leo Eye Care
Are you missing your child’s blind eye? Improve your child’s grades and ability to learn by making sure they are able to see in school. To do so, you must understand the basics about children’s vision. Severe problems commonly exist among school-age children. According to the National Eye Institute’s Vision in Preschoolers study, amblyopia, or lazy eye, affects 2
to 5 percent of preschoolers and strabismus, in which eyes cross in or turn out, affects 3 to 4 percent. In addition, the study found 15 to 20 percent of preschoolers had significant need for glasses. The same study states 40 to 67 percent of children who are identified with vision problems during school screenings do not receive the recommended follow-up care by an eye care professional. For cognitive learning to take place, a comfortable liquid progression of information must flow into our children’s brains. Eighty percent of learning comes through visual processing. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, impaired vision affects a child’s cognitive, emotional, neurologic and physical development by potentially limiting the range of experiences and kinds of information to which the child is exposed. See to it your local primary care optometrist is performing testing to uncover vision perception issues and symptoms as well. Strabismus (wall-eye, crossed eyes, lazy eye and squint) should be evaluated and treated at an early age — preferably before 7 to 9 years old. Kids must have therapy prior to 13 years old to avoid permanent vision damage. Parents must take steps to sleuth out the subtle symptoms signaling the need for an eye exam. Check your child for squinting or constantly holding materials very

Hogue close to their face. A posture of tilting the head to one side or rubbing eyes repeatedly also can indicate the need for an examination. Itchy, red, goopy and swollen eyes can be evaluated for allergy and strabismus. Look at your child’s eyes for symmetry. Are both eyes and both pupils (black central circles) the same size and round? Does one eye appear to droop? Review a photo or two with red eye effect. Look to see if the brightness of both red-eye reflections from the pupils are equal in brightness? A dark eye is certainly a concern. Lions Club screeners use this technique in the Pediavision screening. If your child is referred by one of these machines, absolutely go see your eye doctor. Ask older children to read something with each eye. Have your young one read both at distance and near. Use a separate, fresh group of letters in order to test each eye separately. Optometry doctors have extensive ability in training children to hone their eye See EYE, page A14

Harlan Days Festival on its way
Crafters needed Harlan Days is set for Aug, 2-4 and organizers are looking for crafty people to set up booths. An entire tent will be devoted to crafts and will be in the same prime location as last year. There will be a nominal rental fee for each 10-foot by 10-foot booth. Anyone interested in registering or in need of more information can email to harlandayscraftent@gmail.com or call Renee Ely at 657-5592.
By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
The tents go up Aug. 2 when the annual Harlan Days Festival begins at Harlan Community Park. Along with the community festival will come favorites such as the Motocross race, amusement rides, demolition derby and vocal contest. “Harlan Days is the only fundraiser of the year to maintain the park,” said Sally Lake, chairman of Harlan Days and vice president of the Harlan Community Association. “The community always comes out and shows their support for the festival — and they get to have a good time, too.” The festival will kick off Aug. 2 with an opening ceremony and flagraising at 5 p.m. Also that evening will be Kids’ Night, as the carnival rides and midway open for business. A children’s parade will take place by the midway stage at 6 p.m. Sports lovers will enjoy the co-ed softball tournament and basketball playoffs and Motocross races will be held in the arena. The Twang Gang will rock the house from 7-10 p.m. on the midway stage. The evening of Aug. 3 brings more basketball tournaments, a corn-

The Monroeville Harvest Festival comes once a year — and it’s almost here. The 2012 festival is set for Aug. 1618 in Monroeville Community Park and it promises all the favorites: amusement rides, fair food, live entertainment, demolition derby and more. Festival coordinator Kent Castleman said the festival is a Monroeville tradition. “The Harvest Festival is a time for people to be welcomed back to the community they grew up in or welcomed into a small-town setting that really celebrates this small-town festival,” Castleman said. The fun kicks off Aug. 16 at 5 p.m. with midway rides by Beers and Jessop’s Co. Pay-one-price wristbands can be purchased for $15. The food court and merchants tent also will open at 5 p.m. The entertainment begins at 5:30 p.m. with Mudokwan Martial Arts on the Dewey Stage at 5:30 p.m. followed by the introduction of the Miss Harvest Festival candidates. A truck pull in the park arena will start at 6:30 p.m. with weigh-ins at 5 p.m. Prizes range from $150 to $500 in seven classes with a total of $2,500 in payouts. Details for entry can be found at monroevillein.com. General admission is $7, children under age 5 are admitted free. The festivities on Aug. 16 will end in style when local band Good Night Gracie takes the stage at 8 p.m. Events on Friday, Aug. 17, will begin at 5 p.m. with midway rides and the opening of the food court and merchant tents. A fish fry sponsored by the Heritage Band Boosters and bingo by the Monroeville Conservation Club will begin at 5 p.m. Entertainment for the night will include a host of gospel stylings from Tom Kennerk, Trinity, Glen Flint, Master’s Own and Chris Baldwin. All will take place on the Dewey Stage. The demolition derby will thrill audiences in the arena at 7 p.m. “There is a total purse of $5,950 for the demolition derby,” Castleman said. “Pretty good money for a small town.” Admission is $7 per person and children under 5 are

Spend the last day of the festival having a blast when the annual parade begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 18. It’s also Kids’ Day with pay-one-price bracelets from noon to 5 p.m. for $12 and the food and merchant tents will be open until 10 p.m. A chicken dinner is sponsored by the Monroeville EMS at noon while magician and illusionist Jim Barron will take the stage. Atticus Sorrell will perform at 5 p.m. followed by the Adorable Baby Contest ceremony at 6 p.m. The demolition derby will be back in action in the arena at 7 p.m. and the Party Boat Band will rock Dewey Stage at 8 p.m. The fun will conclude with the crowning of Miss Harvest Festival 2012 at 10 p.m. “We encourage people to be a part of (the festival) and take advantage of the once-a-year opportunity the community puts together,” Castleman said.

Program prepares teens for life By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
Twenty teens are better prepared for life after completing the Force, a program at Cornerstone Youth Center in Monroeville teaching participants skills they need to succeed in the work force. Kent Castleman, the center’s executive director, said the program stresses personal development and personal growth through activities such as mock interviews, resume writing, creating personal budgets and learning about cell phone etiquette. “I’ve noticed for a while that there is a lack of simple understanding of the basics,” Castleman said. “I feel like, if you’re polished in your approach, you’ll go further in life.” Participants spent the five-day program polishing variety of skills, Castleman said, with an emphasis on hands-on interaction between students and area professionals. One day, the students made mock professional business calls to a human resource manager. Some were pushed through to voicemail and forced to leave a message, Castleman said, while others connected and were asked a series of questions. Another day included a game of Awesome Island, a personal finance game created by teachers to put teens in real life financial situations. Mock interviews and a self-presentation concluded the week. Castleman said the kids were eager to learn and picked up the tips quickly. He credits the success, in part, to the incentives given to each participant. More than a pat on the back or a kind word, the Force pays kids for good performance. Each participant has the opportunity to earn up to $25 for the week, or $5 per day. Students earn points for being present, being on time, shaking the hand of each guest speaker and being engaged
in the day’s activities. An additional point is awarded to the top five students who go over and above for the day by asking questions or doing things that help the group learn. In addition, three $10 bonuses are given away each day. Castleman said bonuses may be given for the best interview, the best phone call or other tasks throughout the week. “The incentives have really worked well in helping them perform,” Castleman said. “Much like life, if you can see the incentive, you work harder.” Castleman said the program wouldn’t be possible without the financial support of the Foellinger Foundation, the Allen County Board of Commissioners and Indiana Michigan Power, or the assistance of local business professionals who volunteered their time to guide the teens in their learning. Those business professionals included Cindy Hoffman of Thrivent Financial, Barb Smith of B. Smith Office Services and Jack and Linda Stephenson of Cozme International. “I think that anytime you can bring a professional who is taking time out of their day to come in, that is good for the kids to see,” Castleman said. “All professionals are different, but the drive that all of them share comes through loud and clear. It shows (the kids) you have to have that drive and passion for what you do.” Castleman plans to continue offering the Force next summer, and if the program’s growth is any indication — up from five participants last year to its current 20 — the center will need to offer additional sessions. Eventually, Castleman would like to see the Force curriculum offered in youth centers across the state — or country. “I have a national vision. I’d love to see this program duplicated around the country,” Castleman said.

Beat the homework battle Jeanne Widdicombe Specialty Tutoring
The waning weeks of summer are a good time to start gearing up positive thoughts on how to handle the schedules and responsibilities the new school year soon will bring. In our 13 years of experience working with families at Specialty Tutoring, we have heard numerous stories about battles between parents and children, brought on by pressures to keep up with schoolwork. Our learning specialists work one on one with children who have learning difficulties by teaching skills and strategies, using individualized programming and providing hands-on practice. However, another impor-
tant element of our program is guiding parents to recognize their child’s strengths, help their child manage challenges and gain confidence and foster a positive environment and attitude toward learning in their own home. It is a natural tendency for parents to become emotionally involved when attempting to manage their child’s homework and study behavior, which often leads to a battle. So here’s an alternative mindset for parents looking for some relief: Use a ‘professional’ approach in your role as the ‘manager’ of your child. Consider your own employment experience. The manager who has been most effective is not the one who rules and commands, nor is it the manager who
threatens and enforces punishment. The most effective manager helps others succeed in accomplishing tasks by guiding and giving direction. Utilizing this business-like and results-oriented approach may help reduce the number of conflicts at home, and most importantly improve studying and learning. Apply these four characteristics of good managers in your own home. 1) Be objective. Take a minute to watch your child ‘attempting’ to complete his homework. Look at the details of what is going right and what is going wrong. If you had never met this child before, and you were asked to provide a course of action to improve his efficiency (and ignoring everything outside of the behavior observed right at this moment) what concrete advice would you give? 2) Select appropriate and clear-cut rules. If an expectation is too difficult, the child is less likely to try, or will become discouraged and frustrated. If an expectation is too vague, it will be difficult to enforce. Clear-cut rules provide less “wiggle-room.” Your job is to resist the urge to demand

Use these tips to ‘manage’ your child’s homework in a better, less-stressful way. any more or less than exactly what was agreed upon originally. If the expected behavior is attainable and specific, then the opportunities for success, and even rewards, will present themselves more often. It’s win-win! 3) Be consistent. This is the most challenging aspect of being a good manager. When you are consistent, your child knows not only exactly what to expect after a certain behavior, but also that the consequences will be enforced, or the reward produced, every single time. To better appreciate this point, consider your employment experience again. How do you view those people in your workplace who constantly
change their minds and their rules to suit their moods? 4) Emphasize what is being done right instead what is being done wrong. This is the most rewarding (and hopefully habitforming) aspect of being a good manager: Finding the ‘right’ in every situation. By pointing out what your child is doing correctly before suggesting necessary improvements, you are increasing the chance that your input will be received favorably. Children tend to be on guard and sensitive to criticism, and many will immediately ‘turn off’ if you begin the conversation by being critical. Tuningout can be a defense mechanism to prevent

Successfully implementing all four of these good manager characteristics does take practice.

Stop dreaming... in most businesses with the exception of casinos, bars, some fraternal organizations, tobacco stores and private clubs, has had little impact on their business. Greg Jacquay, owner of Trion Tavern, said his preban business consisted of less than 3 percent of smokers. In fact, Jacquay was planning to become a non-smoking facility even before the state enacted the prohibition on smoking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went smoke-free on our own,â&#x20AC;? Jacquay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can allow smoking, but we have 58 craft beers on tap and craft beers and smoking just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go together.â&#x20AC;? Jacquay said he does offer an outside seating area for patrons, but they have to be eating or drinking at the table. Since his transformation to non-smoking, Jacquay said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen little backlash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had no one respond to me negatively,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, it was just a good business decision.â&#x20AC;? If any restaurants have seen a decline, New Haven Mayor Terry McDonald said he thinks business eventually will return to those eateries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoy eating out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it!â&#x20AC;? McDonald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it will have a big impact in the
long run.â&#x20AC;? McDonald said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d even heard from one area business that had seen business increase since going completely smokefree Rita Dunfee, manager at Salvatoriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Authentic Italian Eatery on McKenzie Drive, said the ban hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt the restaurant at all. The restaurant decided to become entirely non-smoking before the ban was enacted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only had six or seven regular customers in the smoking section at any one time,â&#x20AC;? Dunfee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because our restaurant is open enough and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a separately enclosed smoking section, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re busier now that we can use the smoking section for the nonsmokers.â&#x20AC;? Other businesses still are adjusting to the changes. Local bar Rack Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Helenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is exempt from the ban, but only after changing some of its policies. To be exempt from the law, the eatery had to cut out its Sunday family dining and raise its minimum age for entry to 21. Previously, the restaurant had allowed those over the age of 18. For Jeff Hall, co-owner of Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Restaurants, with locations in both Fort Wayne and New Haven, only time will tell
whether the ban will impact business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These things are in flux all the time. We saw a tremendous amount of new faces, but that was because no one had power at home,â&#x20AC;? Hall said, noting the ban went into effect right after the wild storms raced through the area and left more than 88,000 residents without power. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in this for the long haul and at the same time it takes time to see the effects. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a smarter man in a year.â&#x20AC;? McDonald said he thinks area restaurants will rebound, as he noted Fort Wayne restaurants seemed to have recovered from the stricter citywide ban passed several years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given a few more months, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see things settle down,â&#x20AC;? McDonald said.
