Golfing for a cause Organizer Dick Thornton has battled MS for 16 years By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
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.” Mark Davis

More than just the football field at Bishop Luers High School will be rockin’ on Sept. 28 when the school kicks off its annual homecoming festivities. “We are approaching 50 years. We have lots of alumni, older and recent graduates who come back during Homecoming,” said Monica Zwick, Luers’ director of public relations. “It is a time for all of us to welcome back everyone to the community.” The celebration will kick of at a mass celebrated at 4:30 p.m. The community mass, presided over by Fr. Bill Sullivan, a Luers grad himself, also will get teachers and staff involved, Zwick said. Following the mass, a Luers tradition will take place — the tailgate party sponsored by local businesses. Open to alumni and their families, the tailgate always is filled with fun, food and friends. Zwick said the school’s alumni association will serve fried chicken and sides while the pep band plays for the crowd. The
The outer exterior of Maumee Valley Veterinary Clinic, 22904 Tile Mill Road in Woodburn, belies the up-to-date technology used inside its walls to treat area animals. “It’s the same building we had 25 years ago,” Dr. David Narhwold said of his practice at MVC. “We could make it fancy, but instead we put our reinvestment in our technology.” Narhwold and his wife Elaine recently celebrated 25 years in business in the Woodburn location. The day was Aug. 20, 1987. In addition to the monumental occasion of opening the clinic, it also was the Narhwold’s wedding anniversary. David, originally from Ossian, completed his degree in veterinary medicine at Purdue University before moving
to Shelbyville, where David practiced for a year. The family, which includes three children, then moved to North Manchester for six years. Finally, the family settled on Woodburn. “We wanted to find a location where we could send our kids to a Lutheran school,” David said. “And we chose Woodburn.” David recalled some of his first patients. There was the time he spayed the Richardson’s dog on an exam table with an electrical drop cord connected to the neighbors for electricity. Then there is Mr. Werling and his cat Morris. He was the clinic’s second client. David originally treated his dog, Blackie, and consulted on Werling’s pig farm. One change over the past 25 years, the Narhwold’s say, has been the practice’s shift from treating livestock to seeing an increase of family pets. See VET, page A14

Rodeo returns to Monroeville St. Rose Church brings Bulls and Barrels rodeo to town to raise money for future school By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
The rodeo returns to Monroeville on Sept. 22 when St. Rose Church hosts Hat Creek Arena’s Bulls and Barrels rodeo. The Bulls and Barrels rodeo, according to Lori Wagner, the president of St. Rose’s parish finance council, will be a smaller version of the popular event. “This is a mini version of a full-blown rodeo,” Wagner said. “There will be bull riding and barrel racing.” The event will feature a full spectrum of events from amateur to professional, according to Hat Creek Arena’s website. The bull riding competitions will be sanctioned by the Southern Extreme Bull Riding Association. Wagner said a rodeo was held in Monroeville for several years, hosted by the fire department. That event hasn’t been around for more than 10 years, she said. So, when the church was brainstorming ways to raise money for the eventual purchase of the former Monroeville
Elementary School site, the idea of a rodeo was tossed around. “As part of the church’s 100th anniversary celebration, we are doing various things to raise money to keep a school in Monroeville. When we talked to Hat Creek Arena and they had openings in their schedule, we went for it,” Wagner said. The event will take place in the Monroeville Park Arena on Sept. 22. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. with a live band playing at 6 p.m. The rodeo will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for children if bought in advance. Tickets at the door are $12 for adults and $10 for children. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased from Meyer Auto Sales in Monroeville, Johnny’s Diner in Monroeville, Milan Center Feed and Grain in New Haven and Broken B in Geneva. Wagner said there also will be stick pony races for children along with other kids’ activities. All proceeds from the event will go toward the purchase and maintenance of

Wagner said the rodeo, as well as the parish’s summer festival held in August, most likely will become annual events. “This will be a great night for the whole community to come out and have some fun,” Wagner said. “We’d love to
have everyone from the area come out. Hat Creek is in Van Wert, Ohio, so we’d love to see people from Van Wert, Grabill, Woodburn and all of East Allen County come have some fun.” More information about the rodeo can be found online at hatcreekarena.com.

gone, the homecoming game will kick off at 7 p.m. against North Side High School. Spectators can visit the spirit booth to purchase the 2012 homecoming T-shirt, Zwick said. The fun doesn’t stop there, though. The school’s homecoming royalty will be crowned and the Distinguished Knight awards will be bestowed. Distinguished Knight awards are given to those who make a difference in their community while showing their Luers spirit, Zwick said. Two awards are given each year, one to a Luers alumni and the
other to an honorary alumni. Following the game, an adult bonfire will he held with a live performance by Greta Speaks, sponsored by First Source Bank. Zwick said the concert and bonfire will only extend the Luers commitment to family. The lead singer of the Indianapolisbased Greta Speaks is Vince Saul, another Luers graduate. “He and all of his nine brothers and sisters went to Bishop Luers,” Zwick said. “Luers is known for their family atmosphere, all of our homecoming events reconfirm that philosophy.”

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 is finished, players can take part in the silent auction and raffle to net the cause even more money. Items include gift cards from local businesses and more.
Facts about MS • More than 400,000 people in the United States have MS. • An estimated 2,500,000 around the world have MS. • About 45 percent of the people with MS are not severely affected by the disease. • Diagnosis of MS usually is between 20 and 40 years of age. • MS affects more women than men, with a ratio of 2:1. • About 85 percent of those who are newly diagnosed have the relapsing-remitting form of MS.
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 Sclerosis 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.”
• MS does not significantly affect life span. • The course of the disease is unpredictable and no two people will experience the same set of symptoms. • There are four types of MS: relapsingremitting, secondary-progressive, primary progressive and progressive relapsing. • Among young adults, MS is the most common disease of the central nervous system. • Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of MS. • MS is not contagious. • MS is a progressive disease for which there is not yet a cure.

Bishop visits the city Bishop Kevin Rhoades made a pastoral visit to St. Louis Besancon Academy, 15535 Lincoln Highway East, on Aug. 30. The visit coincided with the launch of a new diocesan initiative for the education of students with special needs. The Saint Louis Academy will serve as a pilot program location for the initiative; one that endeavors to be modeled in other diocesan schools in the years to come. Saint Louis Academy is led by principal Cheryl Klinker and educates 61 students in grades pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Saint Louis Besancon parish is pastored by Rev. Stephen Colchin, and is home to 248 families. The parish was established in 1846. Rhoades’ visit began with an all-school Mass before Rhoades visited classrooms within the school. He then enjoyed lunch with students in the cafeteria. After lunch, several meeting with the school’s administration took place.
St. John-Emmanuel Lutheran School, a joint ministry of St. John (Flatrock) and Emmanuel (Soest) congregations, held its opening service on Aug. 12.

Several staff members, including the principal, were installed during the service. Axel Gruen was installed as principal, Kim Priest was commissioned and installed as a second-grade teacher and Katie Pickens was placed as a fourthgrade teacher. Pastors led the faculty, school board and congregations in a rededication of themselves to the commitment to the school’s education ministry. The 2012 theme is “Put on the whole armor of God.”

One clip at a time Paper clips take on new meaning to fifth graders By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
If you walk through the halls of Central Lutheran School in New Haven and peek into the fifthgrade classrooms, you’ll see an ordinary office supply taking center stage as paperclips adorn the students’ clothing. The paperclips, ranging from traditional silver to bright green, are a constant reminder to each student to be kind to one another. The idea is based on the Whitwell, Tenn., Paper Clips Project, which began in 1998 as an eighth-grade project focusing on acceptance of other cultures. The middle-school students began collecting paperclips to symbolize the lives lost during the Holocaust. “When the kids from Tennessee were studying this, they had to come up with something small to gather 6 million of them. They found that in Norway, during the war, people wore paper clips

Good wine doesn’t have to be complicated. Hillary Stevens, winemaker for The Naked Grape wines says, “In my house, the host picks the wine! I recommend picking one that showcases your personality. If you’re feeling bold,
try a robust Cabernet Sauvignon, and if you’re feeling sassy, try a crisp Pinot Grigio.” For your next feast, she recommends their newest offering, Harvest Red Blend, a medium-bodied red wine blend with juicy flavors of raspberry and red plum.

Explore fall fruits and veggies Metro Creative
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 greenhued options. Blueberries: Though widely considered a summertime fruit, blueber-
ries 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 fiberfilled treat. Grapes: Grapes are available at the supermarket year-round, but they’re in their prime during the autumn season. Pears: This is another tree-grown fruit that comes into season in the fall. Put pears, blackberries and apples together to make a tasty crisp dessert or fresh pie.
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 yearround. Perhaps that’s because of the ornamental cabbage plants that are cool-weather 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 is abundant at roadside vendors or at the local store. Eggplant: Eggplant is available through September in many areas. A main component of the dish ratatouille, eggplant is
HARVEST from page A8 5 cloves garlic, cut into thin slices 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves or fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup Swanson Vegetable Broth Directions: Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 17x11-inch roasting pan or shallow baking
sheet with cooking spray. Stir potatoes, carrots, celery root, rutabaga, onions, parsnips, garlic, rosemary and oil in prepared pan. Roast vegetables for 30 minutes. Pour broth over vegetables and stir. Roast for 20 more minutes or until vegetables are fork-tender.

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.

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 full-time 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 See ROTARY, page A11

Chamber to celebrate New Haven businesses From Sept. 22-28, the New Haven Chamber of Commerce will send teams of ambassadors out to area businesses to show thanks for investing in the community during their first-ever Business Appreciation Week. Eighteen chamber ambassadors will work in teams with Kiwanis Club members, delivering gift bags to 200 local businesses, promoting a “shop local” mentality and community spirit.
ROTARY from page
Steve McMichael, chamber ambassador and owner of Imagine Real Estate, said the event gives him a chance to get out in the community and network with other business professionals. And with New Haven High School’s homecoming game against Belmont taking place Sept. 28, it won’t be hard to find a sense of community spirit. New Haven Chamber CEO Vince Buchanan said with the near
completion of both the Maplecrest Road extension and Fort to Port projects, the area business community has a lot to be excited about. “That covers the east and west sides of New Haven, so we anticipate very good things to come out of all that,” he said. “We just want to thank businesses for locating in the New Haven area and thank them for their investment in the community.”

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.” She says it’s likely why the chancellor approached her about an opening for director of alumni relations — that and her newfound desire to make the most of her role at the university, which she credits to the Rotary Group Study Exchange. “Rotary’s motto is ‘Service above self,’ and to bring that kind of attitude back to an organization in my opinion can do nothing but good. Before I went, I was doing things because I wanted to get ahead or because I wanted it on my resume, but now everything I do here is about IPFW,” Wagner said. “When I someday leave this place — if I leave this place — it’s going to be better than it was when I got here. That’s my mission. It’s about my employer, it’s not about me. I really think that’s something an employee can gain from this experience.” Likewise, it’s something an employer could gain by signing off on a potential applicant, which is required before they can submit to the program. Wagner said
the rotary program is basically training an employee in something the company would otherwise not be able to. The Rotary International Foundation provides for the team member’s round-trip airfare, while international host families provide meals, lodging and local travel expenses. All that team members must pay for are incidentals and personal expenses. 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.”

Save Maumee made a visit to the New Haven farm market on Aug. 30. The grassroots organization brought along hands-on activities for kids and information for their parents about its efforts to save the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rivers. Information and activities focused on erosion and water quality in the Maumee River, which is an important part of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and identity. Jodi Leamon, director of nature programming for New Haven Parks Department, said some of the displays included a watershed activity for kids where they can see the origin of different pollutants and how they end up in the rivers. Also on hand was a demonstration on different substrates and how those things pollute the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids could pour some water through and see how dirty it was when it came out,â&#x20AC;? Leamon said. In addition, Save Maumee brought along some trash and debris
River facts â&#x20AC;˘ The St. Joseph River is the sole source of drinking water for over 200,000 people in and around Fort Wayne. â&#x20AC;˘ Nearly 34 million gallons of water is drawn from the river each day for treatment, filtration and river network distribution. â&#x20AC;˘ The St. Mary and Maumee rivers are contaminated and heavily polluted. â&#x20AC;˘ Twenty one cities dump sewage into the St. Joe River before Fort Wayne treats it. pulled from the river earlier in the day. Leamon said an old tire, metal objects and plastic bottles were common. Leamon said the demonstration was an integral part of the farm marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of educating kids â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and adults â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about the area and its natural resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the New Haven farm market, we try to incorporate non-profits with conservation or community-oriented messages,â&#x20AC;? Leamon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farm market provides a really good venue for education.â&#x20AC;? Leamon said Save Maumee, specifically, has an important message to the area since the Moser
Park Nature Center sits directly on the Maumee River. Save Maumee was formed to create awareness of the conditions of the three Fort Wayne rivers while facilitating ecosystem restoration projects to help Lake Erie. Ultimately, the group attempts to repair and improve the St. Joe, St. Mary and the Maumee rivers while working to reverse years of pollution. Save Maumee hopes revitalizing the St. Joe/Maumee watershed will protect and restore the environment while improving the economic, aesthetic and recreational value of the rivers.

The counseling staff at New Haven High School were honored with the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Award. The program earned the award for the first time in 2009.
The counseling staff at Woodlan Jr.-Sr. High School were recently honored with the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Award.
EACS school staff members honored The Indiana Department of Education named Woodlan Jr.-Sr. and New Haven high schools as two of 165 Indiana schools to receive the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Award in 2012. New Haven initially earned the distinction in 2009. Gold Star schools undergo a rigorous process to raise student achievement by creating local community advisory groups to review student data, set specific student goals and commit to maximizing the time and skills of the school counselor. The official award presentation will be at the Indiana School Counselor Association fall conference in Indianapolis on Nov. 2, 2012. “We recognize Woodlan Jr.-Sr. High School for understanding the tremendous impact that school counselors can have in helping students succeed in school counselors can have in helping students succeed in school and also to plan for postsecondary success” said Amanda Culhan, IDOE school counselor consultant. The high schools join more than 163 Indiana schools to receive the Gold Star Award since its inception in 1997. Six years later, the IDOE, in collaboration with the Indiana Student Achievement Institute, began offering professional development opportunities for schools interested in aligning their counseling program with the
Gold Star model. Schools participate in a one-day workshop, followed by a series of monthly webcasts, to help them make the transformation to the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling model. “The school counselors and others at New Haven High School have worked hard to ensure that students have an accountable school counseling program that meets their academic, career and citizenship development needs,” said Sue Reynolds, executive director of the ISA. “These educators and community members are truly dedicated to the community’s young people and are going the ‘extra mile’ to help students succeed.” Additionally, Andy Davis and Luray Riggle participated in training sessions during the 2011-12 school year and learned how to implement the Gold Star School Counseling model. Students, teachers, parents and community members who serve on the local school counseling advisory council also took part in the initiative. “The school counselors and others at Woodlan Jr/Sr High School have worked hard to ensure that students have an accountable school counseling program that meets their academic, career and citizenship development needs,” Reynolds said.

“A decrease in livestock production in the community and increasing pet clients necessitated transforming the livestock medicine storage room into a modern pet examination room in 2002,” David said. Some of the resulting technological advances include the addition of a videoscope machine 10 years ago. The tool allows the veterinarian to incorporate an ear video into every annual exam. “We can print out a picture so they can see everything I see,” David said. The videoscope also can be used to look up a pet’s nose. The clinic also uses class IV laser light therapy to reduce swelling after surgeries and in lieu of pain medication. Computerized blood pressure readings and heart rhythm tests round out a list of high-tech offerings. David said only a few veterinarians in Fort Wayne use these technologies, which, David said, puts Maumee Valley at a great advantage. “I’ve been involved in large practices but I really enjoy being on my own. I can make the decision to use whatever technology without persuading a boss or talking it over with coworkers,” David said.

Dr. David Nahrwold and his wife Elaine opened Maumee Valley Veterinary Clinic in Woodburn on their wedding anniversary, Aug. 20, 1987. “(Small practices) are the last frontier where we can be innovative and practice the science and the art of medicine without our hands being tied.” As one can imagine, this highly technical care takes extra time, but gives patients very thorough examinations. An in-house laboratory speeds diagnosis of medical conditions for the animal patients. David Narhwold said he is blessed to be supported by a loyal and professional staff with an average of 15 years of service. “Our philosophy is that we treat everyone like family. We can take more time to do a more thorough job, ” David said.
David said he isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet, even though he admits to getting a few years older. “I’ll go as long as I can,” David said. “I wouldn’t change what I am doing. A lot of people can’t wait to retire and get out of work, I really don’t want to because I enjoy what I do.” David will, however, enjoy having a few free Saturdays when he does slow down a little. He and Elaine plan to visit their three children — spread out across the country — and relax when they get the chance.
