TRF bringsSights and Sounds

of Summer

The ringing soundof the ice creamtruck going throughthe neighborhoodmight be a familiarnoise from now untilSeptember, but thisseasons ThreeRivers Festivaltheme, Sights andSounds of Summer,shows that fun inthe summer sundoesnt alwaysinvolve leaving thecity.

The Festival Parade, presented by Lutheran HealthNetwork, will begin the festivities on Saturday, July 9, at9:45 a.m. Approximately 130 groups and organizationswill participate in the parade, which will be led by theVoices of Unity Choir. The event will also be shown liveon Indianas NewsCenter.

When the parade begins, the parade floats andmarchers will go two miles through downtown and theWest Central Neighborhood, according to the TRFwebsite. The event usually takes nearly two hours tocommence.


Making the real connection tohistory at Karpeles Museum

The Karpeles Manu-script Library Museummay be one of FortWaynes newer historicalattractions, but the

building is over a centuryold. Its unassuming, brick exterior plays a trick onvisitors, revealing its sun-drenched interior, burstingthrough original stainedglass windows when thesun sits just right in thesky.

Like the museum, itscurrent exhibit is modestin size but remarkable,detailing the abolition of slavery through originaldocuments. Only 14 pagesof Harriet BeecherStowes hand-writtenmanuscript of UncleToms Cabin stil l exist,one of them on display atthe museum. Nearby, apage from the PulitzerPrize winning Rootsnovel sits underneath its

protective glass case. Thepages ink markings showhow Alex Haley omitted,added and rearranged hiswords to create a story

that changed America.Perhaps the moststriking of all the exhibitsdocuments comes fromDr. Martin Luther King,Jr., who felt he needed tosay more in his We Shall

Overcome speech. Hishandwritten notes read aspowerfully as King oncespoke them more than 40years ago.

The Abolition of Slavery Exhibit is just oneof many rotating exhibitsin the Karpeles collectionat museums across the

Animal Care and Control.Orchard Creek pickedthem up and have notonly been nursing themback to health, butacquainting Hope andJohnny with people andattention. King said shecould tell they weregrateful.

I love it, personallyworking with them everyday, she said. Kinggestured toward Hope,whose nose poked over

the stable door, her big,brown eyes lookingexpectantly at King.Shes coming around.When we first brought herin, she didnt know howto lead, but watching herprogress feels reallygood.

The first time Kingoffered Johnny a treat, hedidnt know what to dowith it. He didnt knowwhat it was, so when youheld out your hand, hewould take it in his mouthand spit it back out, Kingsaid. After a bit of coaxing, Johnny took the

treat, clearly enjoying thenew luxury. He starteddigging in my pockets.He ate all my treats thatday.

It is moments like thatKing said are the littlethings taken for grantedeach day. While Hope andJohnny will never beriding horses, seeing theirpositive changes inbehavior and health haveinspired the staff of Orchard Creek to give the

horses purpose in helpingothers.The stables are working

to create a nonprofit inwhich Hope and Johnnywould help physicallyhandicapped, abused andneglected children. Theirstory makes it a naturalconnection for childrenwho are also struggling toovercome obstacles orneed a place to heal.

People just gravitatetowards them becausetheyve heard about themand they obviously needlove, King said. Wekind of want them to be

the communitys horses -everyone come and lovethem. They were reallyneglected, so we want tomake them the most lovedhorses in Fort Wayneinstead of the least.

While Johnny couldsoon be ready to partici-pate in a therapeuticprogram, Hope will needmore time and both stillrequire procedures tobecome healthy. OrchardCreek Stables need help

to get the horses wherethey need to be so theymay one day help chil-dren in the community.

Within the next year,Orchard Creek hopes tohave established itsnonprofit organization toaccept donations for theprogram.

Radio personality CharBinkleys voice is sodistinguishable to long-time listeners that as shehiked on a trail in theRocky Mountains,passers-by from Fort

Wayne recognized hervoice and introducedthemselves. After 35 yearsin the business, listenershave come to know hervoice well and on May 27,Binkley used it to say

goodbye to them duringher Mid-Morning talk show.

Of all her accomplish-ments in the last threedecades, Binkley saidhosting the daily talk

radio show has been thehighlight of her career.She has interviewed over5,500 authors on theprogram, helpinghundreds of listeners overthe years, their letters atestimonial to how thoseinterviews helped them inparenting, marriage, adop-tion, sexual addiction andhealth issues.

A WBCL employeesince its inception in1976, Binkley got her startthere as director of womens programming.After she promoted toassistant manager, Binkleymoved on as executivedirector of the WBCLRadio Network, a positionshe held for 21 years. In

2006, Binkley resigned asexecutive director, butmaintained the Mid-Morning talk show and,with the support WBCL,eventually foundedRemedy.FM, a worldwideInternet station forteenagers.

Under Binkleys leader-ship, WBCL grew from itsflagship station in FortWayne to include stationsin the Lima and Archbold,Ohio areas. In that time,additional translators werelocated in Muncie, Ind.

and Adrian, Mich., broad-ening WBCLs reach to awider audience.

In 1978, Binkleyfounded A Day Away, aseminar that has attractedover 35,000 women fromthe tri-state area in itstwenty-plus years. She hasserved on several nationalboards, including theNational Religious Broad-casters, the AmericanBible Society and the KeyLife Network.

Many have wonderedwhy Binkley never movedon to larger networks ornational organizationsthroughout the years.

However, when given theopportunity to do so,Binkley put it simply.Why would I ever wantto leave when I have thebest job, in the bestplace?

Beef Tri-TipCalifornias Best Kept Secret!

Ingredients:1 package ofSandys Special Spice Butt Rub

1 Tri-Tip Roast from CustomQuality Meats

Serves 4.

Tri-Tip is referred to as a steak, but because it is thick it needs to be cooked like a roast. Tri-Tip is a bottom sirloin roast that is lean when trimmed and is very versatile.The flavor is great! The tenderness is not what you would find in a T-bone or ribeye,but is still very good.

Dentist out to proveeducation can lead to

a brighter smile

Fort Wayne dentist Dr. Mark Stetzel believes he knowsthe trick to improving the oral health of children, and ithas little to do with the policy benchmarks that led anational research group to give Indiana a failing grade.

In word, its education, and Stetzel and two of his localcolleagues have been traveling the state without compen-sation to enlighten dentists and pediatricians andthrough them, parents about the importance of earlyintervention.

The local dentists efforts are part of a statewide ini tia-tive called Born To Smile that Stetzel co-founded andpiloted in northeast Indiana. The clinical foundation of the educational campaign: Give a child a fluoride varnishtreatment after the appearance of baby teeth aroundthe age of 1 and the risk of decay will be significantlyminimized for the rest of their life, Stetzel said.

The Pew thing, he said, I guess I welcome the atten-tion its going to bring. But you find nothing (in thereport) about education and parental involvement with

oral health.The report hes referring to was issued in late May bythe Pew Center on the States, a division of the Pew Chari-table Trusts, a national public policy research think tank.Pew listed Indiana as one of only five states receiving anF for efforts to improve childrens dental health.

Pew judged states in these categories: share of high-risk schools with dental sealant programs; hygienistsability to place sealants without a dentists prior exam;share of residents linked to fluoridated community watersupplies; share of Medicaid-enrolled children gettingdental care; share of dentists median retail fees reim-bursed by Medicaid; medical providers paid by Medicaidfor early preventive dental health care; authorization fornew primary care dental providers; and tracking data onchildrens dental health.

According to Pew, Indiana met or exceeded national

standards for only two benchmarks: resi-dents with fluoridated water supplies(94.5 percent) and Medicaid-enrolledchildren getting dental care (47.4percent).

Stetzel, former president of the IndianaDental Association, and Doug Bush, theassociations executive director, dontagree with the rating, but acknowledgethat improvements in the states responseto childrens dental health are needed.

I dont know that our disagreement isrelevant, because there is a problem,Bush said. There are kids out there thatwe are failing, and in that sense there aresome steps that need to be done. Forgetthe letter grade. We need to focus onareas of improvement.

Andy Snyder, a Pew Childrens DentalCampaign researcher who worked on thenational dental report card, said Stetzeland Bush are correct to concentrate onimprovements, and he believes the eightbenchmarks are the most critical areasbecause they are proven, research-basedpolicies. Educational initiatives, whileimportant, do not have the same kind of evidence-based results, he said.

Stetzel and Bush do support some of the benchmarks. They said developing anassessment tracking mechanism wouldhelp lead to sound data-based strategies,and both agree that low Medicaid reim-bursements pose a significant hurdletoward improving childrens oral healthby threatening access to care.

Thats not Stetzels only problem withMedicaid: He said the Medicaid systemdoes not specifically provide adequatereimbursements for oral hygiene educa-tion in Indiana and, by its free-servicenature, does not demand that parents orcaregivers monitor childrens dentalhealth at home.

People think, My dentistry is free. Iguess I dont have to worry about mykids anymore. Ive got Medicaid.

We should make (Medicaid) momspay a dollar on five dollars some kindof sacrifice to appreciate the value of theservice, Stetzel said. The 100-percentfree thing: I just dont think thats theanswer.

Medicaid, he said, is spendingmillions to have holes in teeth filled, butits not investing in the educationalcomponent to intercept the holes. Werenot instilling in kids or caregivers thedesire to achieve oral health.

In lieu of that, the state dental associa-tion started two education programs the fluoride-centered Born To Smile(www.borntosmile.org) campaign for veryyoung children and Drinks Destroy

Dr. Mark Stetzel of Fort Wayne co-founded a statewide Born To Smile program that stresses oralhealth education in the prevention of tooth decay.

Photo by Rick Farrant

Teeth (www.drinksdestroyteeth.org),which targets school-age childrenspropensity to consume enamel-damaging,sugar-laden acidic drinks.

The aim of both programs is topromote partnerships between dentalprofessionals and parents. DrinksDestroy Teeth education begins in class-rooms. Born To Smile education beginswith dentists and pediatricians, althoughthats not how it started.

In 2008, Stetzels Born To Smilepilot focused on sending oral health carekits to parents in 10 northeast Indianacounties along with a coupon for a freedental assessment and fluoride treatmentfor their young children.

But only 2 to 3 percent of the parentstook advantage of the coupons. SoStetzel, Dr. Benjamin Yoder of Fort

Wayne and Dr. Caroline Derrow of Auburn began traveling the state toeducate dentists and pediatric physiciansabout early intervention and encouragethem to, in turn, educate parents.

There is no budget for the Born ToSmile program, and Stetzel is hopingthat some money can be secured to raiseawareness of the campaign or helpIndiana partner with another state that hasa more established program.

Right now, he said, the (Indiana)program is kind of floundering.

But Stetzel has no plans to give up.I hate to see what happens when kids

have bad teeth, Stetzel said. I see adul tpatients who had a mouthful of cavitiesas kids and now theyre basically dentalcripples. Id love to see that stopped atthe source.

Allen CountySPCA delivers

pounds forpounds

Since a deadly tornado ripped through the midwesterntown of Joplin, Mo. on May 22, the death toll hasreached more than 140 and could continue its climb. Atleast 900 others were injured in the natural disaster. Asresidents and volunteers begin the rebuilding process,officials continue to search for the missing.

For all those lost or displaced from their homes, thereare animals left without owners or unclaimed after beingseparated from their families by the storm. A Facebook page surpassing 16,000 members is using photo sites likeFlickr, blogs and area adoption programs to spread theword about animals recovered who need adoption orreuniting. More than 600 miles away in Allen County,Ind., a local organization remembered these needyanimals with a recent donation of 1,600 pounds of dogand cat food.

When Mistyna Reiter, a staff member at the AllenCounty Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,heard radio station 93.3-FM was stuffing a bus full of food and supplies for families in need in Joplin, sheasked how the shelter could help.

Allen County SPCA Executive Director Sofia Mirwaldtsaid they called the radio station and learned the truck had room for pet food donations, so they loaded a vanwith dog and cat food and added to their supply.

Our community here is so generous, we had to shareour overage with those families that are in such adesperate situation due to the tornadoes, Mirwaldt said.

Officials estimate more than 500 animals have so farbeen rescued since the EF4 tornado plowed six milesthrough Joplin. While many items are needed not only foranimals, but additional recovery efforts, the IndianaDepartment of Homeland Security recently advised thebest way to help disaster survivors is with a cash dona-tion to a legitimate relief agency such as the AmericanRed Cross. Cash donations allow voluntary agencies toobtain needed items, which are constantly changing inemergency situations.

For information about how to assist with Missouri

relief efforts, visit the Missouri Emergency ManagementAgency website. Information regarding other ways tohelp can be found atwww.fema.gov/rebuild/recover/howtohelp.

Lacrosse catching on insouthwest Fort Wayne

Lacrosse has steadilygained U.S. popularity inrecent years, becoming aregularity in middle andhigh school sports on theeast coast, but the game

continues to slowly makeitself known in other partsof the country.

Lacrosse has evencaught on in Fort Wayneand the SouthWestLacrosse Club is proof of that. This season was thefirst time the club enteredthe Indy Open, the middleschool state championshiptournament, and took firstplace.

They were all very

excited and we are veryproud of them, said KimBrown, founder and teammanager of SouthWestLacrosse Clubs middleschool boys team. We are

a club sport as of rightnow, Brown continued.There may come a timewhen lacrosse is sanc-tioned as a school sport.Some of the teams in theIndy area are sanctionednow.

When Brown and herfamily moved here fromToledo, Ohio six yearsago, her son, Kirk, hadalready played the sportfor seven years. She

helped start the Home-stead boys team in 2005,followed by the Home-stead girls team in 2007and the SouthWest middleschool boys team in

2009. Today, the South-West Lacrosse Club hasthe only girls high schooland middle schoollacrosse teams in the area.

If you have ever walkedthrough the front door of the Indiana State PoliceFort Wayne Post or madea telephone call to itsoffice, chances are you

spoke to Lovilee Johnson.This month, the statepolice said goodbye totheir longtime ambassadoras she looked to retire-ment to begin a new

chapter in her life.Johnson is known by all

as Lovie, and hasenriched the lives of themen and women sheworked with throughout

the years with her posi-tive, upbeat and optimisticattitude, the Fort Waynepost said. By treating citi-zens with kindness,listening and offeringwords of comfort, she hasboth knowingly andunknowingly diffusedmany unpleasant situa-tions brought to the post.

Born in Brickeys, Ark.,Lovie moved with herfamily to Fort Waynewhen she was very youngand was a 1959 graduateof Central High School.She was appointed to theISP on Feb. 11, 1974 as adata input operator and

assigned to the originalFort Wayne post onJefferson Boulevard. In1979, Lovie applied forand was granted a transferto the new Fort Waynepost and was reassigned toswitchboard operator, aposition that she held untilthe day of her retirement.

Throughout her career,the Fort Wayne post hashad eight different districtcommanders. One of themwas Major Gary Robbins,who has known Johnsonfor 33 years.

The Fort Wayne postreceives a tremendousamount of calls, some-times from emotional orirate callers, yet Lovileescheerful personality, andher ability to remain calmand professional has

served her well in takingor routing the calls to theproper station, Robbins

said.Johnson is the mother

of two children, Sandra,51, who lives in FortWayne, and Michael, 50,who lives in Atlanta, Ga.She also has two stepchil-

dren, Therron, 45 wholives in Bethesda, Md.,and Todd, 37, who lives in

Wemoved here from Alabamaand had never really beenexposed to lacrosse so wehad a lot to learn, shesaid. Once we figuredout the basics, I fell inlove with watching it. It isa fast pace game and it isa rough game so it is veryeasy to get wrapped up inthe excitement from thesidelines.

I see a lot more of iton TV than I ever havebefore, her son, Owen,said. I think that expo-sure has made kidscurious about it. Afterplaying lacrosse for onlyone year, Owen said it isnow his favorite sport andhopes to play in college.

In 2010, Clea Endres, a

former SouthWestLacrosse Club member,accepted a full-rideacademic and lacrossescholarship to play atIndiana Tech.
