perform a wide variety of styles, including ballet,tap, jazz, hip-hop and lyrical. As a team that is byinvitation only, the Starz Dance Academy perform-ance dancers must be able to adapt to changingstyles.

Employees take on achallenge for charity

At the beginning of the month, Saint Anne Home &Retirement Community employees began a journey intohealthier living. Fifty-two employees of Saint AnneHome registered for a 12-week weight-loss program.

“Employees pair up a teammate (co-worker) and imple-ment their own style of weight-loss program in hopes towin the big prize —- money. The challenge costs eachemployee $20 for a registration fee and they have$2/weekly weigh-in fees. Half of all funds raised fromthis competition will be donated to the local Alzheimer’sAssociation,” a press statement said. The other half of thefunds raised will be divided up among the top threewinning teams.

“Employees will also have chances to win weeklyprizes at random for weighing in and for doing well forthe week. This is an added incentive to raise money for agreat cause, the Alzheimer’s Association, which helpsraise money for Alzheimer’s research. Saint Anne Homeemployees strive diligently every week to help raisemoney for this great organization and feel that this is yetanother great way to give back to the residents,” the state-ment said.

David Hernandez, owner of Sud ‘N Impact Gym, isalso partnering with Saint Anne Home, as a volunteer, to

help the employees achieve their weight-loss goals. Thechallenge will end on May 25.

Saint Anne Home employees will have weekly weigh-ins, as part ofa healthy living challenge.

January, rising 0.5 percent,according to figuresreleased early this month

by the Indiana Departmentfor Workforce Develop-

ment.Unemployment in Allen

County rose from a revised

December rate of 8.5percent to a non-seasonally

adjusted rate of 9.0 percentin January, according to theDWD.

Allen County was ranked59th in the state for Januaryunemployment. VermillionCounty led the state inJanuary with a 12.9 percentunemployment rate.

The statewide unemploy-ment rate dropped from aseasonally-adjusted rate of 8.9 percent in December to8.7 percent in January.Seasonally-adjusted ratesare not released for coun-ties.

Because of the statewideunemployment rateimprovement, Hoosierswill be unable to file forextended benefits begin-ning April 15. The federalgovernment only pays forEB when the state’s three-month averageunemployment rate is 110percent higher than it wasthree years ago; Indiana’sthree-month average ratewould need to be 9 percentor above in order toqualify.

Approximately 10,000Hoosiers are currently

Building on a dreamMission, not competition, drove construction of regional medical center

Mike Packnett’s voicewas wrapped with reverence every time he uttered

the word “dream.” And itwas a word he used oftenwhen he sat down to talk about the new ParkviewRegional Medical Center.

The $550-million, 1.1-million-square-footmedical center, one of thelargest health care projectsin the Midwest, is set toopen March 17 off DupontRoad just east of Interstate69.

Packnett, ParkviewHealth’s president andCEO, and other ParkviewHealth officials say thestate-of-the-art facility

will: improve access tohealth care in the region;reinforce Parkview’smission to provide excel-lent service; likely bringmore business to theburgeoning Parkviewsystem; lead to thecreation of 250 moreParkview jobs; andcontinue to ratchet upeconomic developmentnear the 115-acre regionalmedical center campus.

All good reasons, Pack-nett said, for building themajestic eight-story

center, which will serve anarea of 875,000 people in

northeast Indiana andnorthwest Ohio and whichhas dramatically changedthe landscape formotorists traveling theinterstate.

“We didn’t have to dothis,” Packnett said. “Theboard could have madethe decision just to stay at(Parkview Hospital onRandallia Drive).

“But they felt thatwasn’t the right decisionfor the community. It’s allabout the mission side,and when board memberswere looking at it, theywere saying, ‘How do wefulfill our mission?’ And

there’s a certain missionyou can fulfill at Randalliaand stay. There’s an evenbigger mission you canfulfill (with the regionalmedical center) and alsokeep Randallia open.”

Packnett’s dream cometrue, shared not only byhim but by those aroundhim, plays out in stunningdetail, beginning withbuilding facades soadorned with windowsthat reflected sunlight canraise temperatures insections of the parking lotby 20 degrees or more —or so it seems.

The 114,000 square feetof windows, which affordpanoramic views fromoffices, patient rooms andlounges, was part of anencompassing plan tocreate an environment thatpromotes healing.

The windows, Packnettsaid, make it easy forpatients and families toget close to life-affirminglight. In fact, in the 446private patient rooms,alcoves have beenconstructed to allowwindows to extend 11 feethigh — beyond the height

From the air, the 115-acre Parkview Regional Medical Center campus looks like a small city’s down-town. That’s Interstate 69 behind the medical center in this photograph taken from a ParkviewSamaritan helicopter.

“Footloose,” were submitted and theacademy heard back one week later,inviting them to perform this summer.

Since being accepted, the Starz dancershave been working hard to amp up theirroutines and also have fun in the process.

On average, they are now practicing fromtwo to three hours per week, but Peters saidthat will likely increase to seven to eighthours per week as the performance nears.

The support of parents is also something

that has contributed to the group’s success.“We have wonderful parents who are

always willing to go the extra mile for ourkids. I like to brag on them, too,” she said.“We make dance fun.”

Once the dancers get to Disney, they willgive a 25 minute performance, based on theacademy’s own choreography. At theWaterside Performance stage, they willperform in front of an international audi-ence. After this event, the academy dancerswill also get to participate in a Disneydancing workshop, where they will have theopportunity to mock audition to be aDisney dancer.

Peters was pleased with the group of performance dancers.

“This group of kids, they’re a great groupof kids. It’s a very unique thing when youget a group of dancers together. Theysupport each other,” she said.

The company dancers already have expe-rience on stages and at venues, which willcome in handy for the big event.

“We perform throughout Fort Wayne allyear long,” Peters said. The Starz dancers

perform at the Festival of Trees, Mad Antsgames and many other community events.

“We encourage these students to becomeinvolved in activities like that. I try toimpress upon them the needs of thecommunity and that people look up to themwhen they go out and perform,” Peters said.

As director of the academy, she said thegroup is not a competitive dance team andthat the academy likes to make learningdance fun for students.

“We are about teaching children aboutdance, but making it fun,” she said. “Wemake sure the kids are having fun.”

While this is the first trip that thecompany dancers will go on, Peters hopesthat it will open the door for more trips andopportunities in the future. Her own experi-ences, as a member of a performance dancegroup when she was younger, have shapedthe way she looks at going to performancesoutside of the city.

“Whenever we traveled,” she said, “wealso tried to find a local dance studio wecould take classes with.”

She says exposure to other choreogra-phers and other styles will help the studentssee what else is out there.

The students will host two car washes toraise money for their trip. These car washeswill be held on May 5 and 19, at the CVSPharmacy on St. Joe Center Road andMaplecrest. Starz Dance Academy is alsoworking to find sponsors. For more details,call the academy at 485-2524 or email themat [email protected].

Grant helps starteffort for rain gardens

A grant from Wells Fargo has helped toinstall 20 demonstration rain gardensaround the community.

“The grant from Wells Fargo will payfor interpretive signs placed at the raingarden locations. The signs will helpinform residents about the impacts of urban storm water and how the qualitystorm water runoff can be improved byrain gardens before it gets into streamsand rivers,” a press release said.

Rain gardens help to collect and controlstorm water runoff.

“Water collects in the garden andremains there for several hours until it can

soak into the ground. The gardens areplanted with native perennial flowers andgrasses to create beauty and a habitat fornative songbirds and insects that help topollinate other plants. Residents whowalk by the signs will be able to learnmore about how rain gardens help tocontrol rain water runoff where it falls,using a system that mimics nature in anundisturbed state,” the release said.

More information about the City of FortWayne’s rain garden program can befound at www.catchingrainfw.org. Resi-dential rain garden workshops are also setto begin this month.

after 170 mph winds.After a classroom discussion, the

students were “passionate about wantingto help,” Ide said.

Willowbrook was able to contact RichCheek, who is the pastor at HenryvilleCommunity Church.

“He was excited to get our call. He saidour call was the first he received on hiscell phone, as the service was justrestored,” she said. “He told us that his

soup kitchen is feeding 1,500 people perday and they needed pallets of bulk foodsto continue to do so.”

The church has pledged to continuedoing so as long as there is a need, inaddition to taking a leading role in thetown’s rebuilding efforts.

Students at the school met to decidehow they could help. Jon Raney, a schoolparent who owns Jonny on the Spot, adelivery service business, volunteered tomake a truck route to Henryville. He thenoffered Willowbrook students a semi truck to use to carry the supplies to the church.

“The students decided that they wantedto divide the truck with the two needs,food and building supplies. They decided

to call a meeting with their parents afterschool the next day, to get their helpreaching out to businesses in the FortWayne community,” Ide said.

The second- through fifth-gradestudents delivered a speech to theirparents and teachers to detail their plan,which can be viewed through the school’sYouTube channel.

In the first 10 minutes of fundraising,students managed to raise $400 by pullingtogether their own money.

“This was amazing to observe, as thestudents each raised their hand eagerly togive what they had. It started with onestudent who had a $10 bill in his pocketand within 3 minutes, the generosity hadspread around the room. The teachers,

myself and the Dean of Students hadgoosebumps on our arms and tears in our

eyes. We were so proud of our students.They inspire me every day and I am soproud of them,” Ide said.

The idea was then announced to host abenefit concert, and parents got on boardto help with the efforts after hearing thestudents.

“Mimi Burns, a parent at Willowbrook,from Mimi Burns Bands, was at themeeting and immediately jumped out of her seat to call her friend Sunny Taylor

and began making all of the arrange-ments,” Ide said.

The school held their benefit concert onMarch 15, on the school lawn. In total,$17,000 was raised during the concert topurchase pallets of food and buildingsupplies, while local bands performed forthe crowd.

Ide said organizing the benefit showedhow the Willowbrook family and thesurrounding community were willing tohelp in the face of a disaster.

“The best part of organizing the benefitwas experiencing the togetherness of ourschool community. I have the most dedi-cated teaching faculty, who withouthesitation, moved everything in their

curriculum plans around so that theirstudents could work on this benefit. Ourteachers and parents worked around theclock for six days to make a difference toothers. You cannot find lessons like that incurriculum books,” she said.

The students also got a firsthand look atwhat it was like to help the community.

“The best moments throughout thisweek for me have been rushing into theclassroom to report updates to the kids.We have an amazing school. It was builtwith heart and that is in all we do,” Idesaid. Willowbrook Day School will hostan online campaign to collect forHenryville through the end of March.Visit the school’s website at

As her runs got longer andlonger, she sprinkled racesin to the mix to motivateher to not get lazy.

“The races make me doit,” Yoder said.

An event like the KPCsprint triathlon allowedher to work onher endurance for longerrunning events without the

wear and tear on her kneesthat constant pavementrunning can produce.

“The triathlon was agood way to train for thehalf-marathon,” Yodersaid.

Like many newercompetitors, her missionwas accomplished whenshe crossed the final finishline at the end of her run.

“The goal is to finish,”she said. “I started crying— that sense of accom-plishment you get.”

The event has a three-

pronged purpose,according to Wysong.“We were looking for a

good fundraiser for ourNewspaper In Educationprogram,” Wysong said.

In 2011, KPC MediaGroup provided more than439,000 newspapers forclassrooms throughoutDeKalb, LaGrange, Nobleand Steuben counties.That figure is nearly13,000 more than 2010.

Newspapers are onlyprovided when requestedby a teacher.

The second driving

force behind the triathlonis a desire to bring people

from outside the area tonortheastern Indiana,Wysong said.

In its first two years, thetriathlon has attractedpeople from countiesthroughout northeastIndiana, but also from asfar as Chicago, Indi-anapolis and Michigan.

“It’s a wonderful way to

promote the recreationalopportunities we have inthe four counties,”Wysong said.

The other big reasonKPC Media Group hasbeen sponsoringthe triathlon is because thecompany believes inpromoting healthylifestyles. Triathlon hostpartners Cole CenterFamily YMCA in Kendal-lville and the city of Kendallville, and Kiwanisshare all of these goals,Wysong said. “The

Kiwanis also have a strongeducation focus, in addi-tion to buildingcommunity. This is reallya full community effort,from the staging partners,race coordinators and themore than 75 volunteerswho come out to help usstage the race.”

Kendallville MayorSuzanne Handshoe, 51,did the swim portion of the event last year as partof a city-organized team.

“It was a blast,” Hand-shoe said. “You’re with alllevels of fitness. Most

people were there to havea great time.”

Handshoe agreed thathaving the event on thecalendar is a good motiva-tional tool to stay inshape.

“You have to set mile-stones,” Handshoe said.She suggested peopledoing the run, forexample, set targets datesfor when they should be

able to run one mile, thentwo miles.

There is somethingbesides fitness to begained from competing insuch an event, the mayorsaid.

“Anything you do phys-ically, it gives youconfidence,” she said. “Itis a lot of fun.”

Handshoe said she planson challenging the mayorsfrom neighboring cities toput together teams, andcredited organizers withtheir work behind an event

the area can be proudof.

of the ceilings.The amenities don’t stop there. There

are the stony, wooded waterfalls in the 21/2-story front lobby; the more than 700dazzling sculptures, paintings and stainedglass works throughout the regionalmedical center created mostly by localtalent; two chapels; 12 meditation rooms;airy, well-appointed lounges; a full-service, first-floor cafeteria; 42-inchflat-screen televisions in patient rooms;

300 underground parking spaces for easyaccess; six courtyards of various sizes;and two miles of walking trails on thecampus.

Some of the ideas came from hospitals

elsewhere in the country; some ideas areuniquely Parkview’s.

“There are three words from an expec-tation standpoint: hope, confidence andhealing,” Packnett said. “This is builtaround those three words. We wantpeople to feel hope and confidence thatthey’re going to get the best care andexperience a healing environment. You tryto find a place that’s like this — that hasevery square foot defined as part of that

healing experience — and you’re notgoing to find it.”

Then there is the technology. Packnett,Parkview Hospital COO Sue Ehinger andMark Hisey, Parkview Health vice presi-

dent of changing spaces, talk glowinglyabout “smart beds” that can safely rollpatients on their sides or alert nurseswhen they have left the bed; ceiling-mounted lifts that have been placed inevery patient room, lessening themanpower needs and promoting thehealth of workers; monitors that areaffixed to arms, leaving no equipment onthe floor; and touch-screen way-findingkiosks that use animation to direct visitors

to their destinations.There are also the 22 labor-saving,

multilingual robots — upright rectangularbeings that can speak English, Spanish orJapanese and traverse hallways and eleva-

tors to deliver linens, food, pharmaceuti-cals and equipment. Stand in front of oneof them and it stops.

In all, there are 16 state-of-the-art oper-ating rooms in the regional medicalcenter, including four in a five-story, 82-bed heart institute that will be notable,Packnett and Parkview Physicians Groupcardiologists said, for an efficiency stem-ming from all of the heart treatmentfunctions being in one place.

The heart institute also includes fivecatheterization labs, two of which arehybrid labs that lend themselves to both

catheterization and surgery.“In my past life,” Packnett said, “I got

to build a heart hospital, and so I sawwhat happened to the whole heart modelwhen you collected everything and put itin one place.”

In the round-the-clock emergencydepartment, meanwhile, there are fourtrauma rooms, including one for pediatricpatients, and imaging services includefour low-dose-radiation CT scanners.

Emergency and imaging were once theprovince of Parkview North Hospital onthe north campus, but the regionalmedical center will essential absorb thatfacility. Parkview Women’s & Children’sHospital will expand into the northhospital’s space, officials said, and amongthe new tenants will be an outpatientpediatric clinic and a 9,000-square-foot,relocated Ronald McDonald House forrelatives of injured or ill children.

Lisa Pacula, executive director of Ronald McDonald Charities of NortheastIndiana, said the organization is nearingthe end of a $2-million fundraisingcampaign and expects construction tobegin in April and be completed by

September. The facility, she said, willwelcome its first guests in December afteradding about 100 volunteers to its currentbase of 70.

Also part of the Parkview RegionalMedical Center campus are the ParkviewCancer Center, Parkview Ortho Hospitaland a new 124,000-square-foot medicaloffice building.

“I think it’s going to be an amazing giftto the community for years to come,”Pacula said of the regional centercomplex. “I think it’s an amazing healthcare facility. Absolutely beautiful.”

Parkview Hospital on Randallia, mean-while, will remain. Ehinger, who willhave the dual role of COO for both theRandallia and regional medical center

campuses, said Parkview Hospital willhave about half as many beds as it hasnow, but all 150 beds will be in privaterooms.

Parkview Hospital will continue to havea 24/7 emergency department, serveshort-term and long-term acute carepatients, offer expanded post-acute careand seek out senior health care opportuni-ties.

Relatively routine trauma cases,Ehinger said, will be handled byParkview Hospital’s emergency depart-ment. More severe trauma cases will bethe responsibility of the regional medicalcenter.

Some of the long-term acute care will

be provided by Vibra Hospital of Fort

Wayne, which will have an additional 48beds inside Parkview Hospital.

The opening of the regional medicalcenter will give Parkview Health 821beds and eventually 7,750 employeesspread out across northeast Indiana infacilities in Allen, Huntington, LaGrange,Noble and Whitley counties.

The opening also means continuedeconomic development growth around thecampus — growth that has already seen

the construction of a Manchester Collegepharmacy school set to open later thisyear and plans by another entity for anursing home. The growth will be buoyedin fall 2012 when a $13.9-million I-69/Union Chapel Road interchange northof the medical center is largelycompleted, easing some of the congestionon Dupont Road.

Parkview Health is paying $10 millionof the cost of the interchange, accordingto an Indiana Department of Transporta-tion spokesman.

“We become the anchor, if you will, foreconomic development on the northernside of Fort Wayne,” Packnett said. “Ittriggers some spending by people now

that we’re here and they begin to see theflow of activity in the area.”Parkview Health is also contemplating

future growth of its own, already.Packnett said Parkview Hospital is five

years ahead of projected patient volume— a situation that portends greatercommunity need. Hisey noted thatParkview Health owns another 285 acresaround the regional medical center thatcould be developed. Some of the growth,though, may come from within the 10existing Parkview service lines, whichinclude heart, cancer, surgery and primarycare.

Packnett talked again about dreams.“In each of those service lines we have

a physician leader and an administrative

leader,” he said. “And they have their owndreams and they have their own plans.And in each area, there will be some kindof expansion and some kind of servicethat they will want to provide better.”

Whatever improvements or expansionscome about, he and Ehinger said, willresult from a Parkview Health focus thatis less about competitive forces likeLutheran Health Network and more aboutaligning with the best practices in thecountry.

“We’re always talking about being inthe top 10,” Ehinger said. “Who’s in thetop 10 percentile? We’ll be looking atthose organizations.”

Said Packnett: “We will say, ‘Here’s

our market share and here’s Lutheran’s

market share.’ But very few times is thatwhat’s driving us. What’s really drivingus — and I’m being very sincere aboutthis — is as we compete, we arecompeting with who’s doing somethingthe best in the country. Sue and I neverwant to limit people’s budgets to go andsee a best practice.”

It’s that kind of philosophy that led tothe attributes of the new regional medicalcenter — attributes that almost have

Packnett pinching himself.At one point, he turned, faced Hisey,

and posed this question: “Mark, what

percentage of our dream have we beenable to build?”

Hisey, who oversaw the 3 1/2-yearmedical center construction project andwho seems to know virtually every detail,paused and appeared to struggle with thequestion. Perhaps he was trying to do aquick, purely fact-based calculation in hishead.

“I’d say 95 percent,” Packnett saidbefore Hisey could answer. “And in some

ways, it’s 100 percent, because we’vebeen able to build virtually all of thedream we had when we started this.”

The most important benefit that yoga has brought tomy life, as well as many others around me, is awareness.

Awareness can have an effect on every aspect of your lifeand indirectly help you make huge strides in your goals.When practicing yoga, it’s not just about the awareness it

brings to your body with how flexible or inflexible youare, but rather what is actually going on inside, bothmentally and physically. We have to realize that the foodwe eat, our lack of exercise, and the stress we havedirectly affects how the body functions.

Promoting decision makingWe are surrounded by a society that promotes uncon-

scious decisions on a daily basis. The norm of health inour society has been filled with medications masking aproblem, rather than understanding what is wrong.Without going too far on a rant, my point is that yoga is agreat way to come to understand your body and mind. By

observing how your body responds, in some cases youmay be able to prevent taking medication and improveyour health naturally. This awareness helps us to makeinformed decisions about our health.

Connecting mind and bodyWhen starting to practice yoga, most people

come for the physical aspect of it. It helps them get exer-cise, stretch out after a stressful day or week, or even to

help them breathe. Although these alone are great bene-fits, soon after finding a teacher they connect with,yoga becomes so much more. Often times, yoga studentstalk about the first “ah-ha” moment they had on the mat.This new found clarity within knowledge helps us under-stand what helps our body and mind and what hinders it.

Realize your unlimited potentialWe need to realize our unlimited potential, find appre-

ciation, and allow joy to be attainable in this life.Awareness is developed in practicing yoga and is oftentaken into your daily life. You start to notice what foodsmake you feel bloated or uncomfortable, how lack of exercise is keeping your stiff or in pain, and you observewhat causes you stress and how your body reacts.

Making your way to the matAwareness is just one aspect of yoga. There are many

other benefits to be seen. Please know that yoga can bepracticed at any level, from therapeutics to power yoga.It’s not about getting into a pretzel-like move and it’s notabout asking you to change your religion. It’s a practicethat meets you where you are at the moment. It may be

just what you needed.

Every minute in theUnited States, someone’swife, mother, daughter orsister dies from heartdisease, stroke or otherform of cardiovasculardisease. Although heartdisease death rates amongmen have declined steadily

over the last 25 years,rates among women havefallen significantly less.

The bottom line isprevention. Tips to preventheart disease remain thesame regardless of yourage. Know your familyhistory, reduce high bloodpressure, lower yourcholesterol, maintain ahealthy weight, exerciseregularly, and stopsmoking are the mostimportant risk factors youcan affect.

In your twenties, healthisn’t typically top of mind.You make choices about jobs, relationships andschool, and you believethere will be plenty of time later on in life tothink about your health.Wrong. Heart disease candevelop at any age, so it’scrucial that you makegood, health consciousdecisions that will benefityou now and in the longrun. Now is the time to geta baseline of yournumbers such as choles-terol and blood pressure.

In your thirties, many

women get so involved incareers and/or family, theyneglect to pay attention totheir own health. Studieshave shown that if you canavoid the conditions thatput you at risk for heartdisease until you turn 50,chances are good that youmay never develop heartdisease. The first step inpreventing heart disease isto find out if anyone inyour family has had heartdisease or any of the asso-ciated risk factors. If theyhave, then your chancesfor developing heart

disease go up. Once you’reaware of your familyhistory, make a point totalk with your doctor andsee what you can do todecrease your risk of developing heart disease.

In your forties, youmay feel like you are tooset in your ways to make achange, but it’s never too

late. Even small choicescan improve your healthand lead to heart-healthyhabits. No matter what lifebrings in your 40s - a newcareer, family changes, orlife milestones - it’simportant to stay happyand healthy so you canenjoy the years to come.Start by making sure youeat heart healthy foodsthat give you all the nutri-ents you need. Drink inmoderation. Take time forphysical activity that youenjoy.

Life in your fifties, caninclude starting a newcareer, sending kids to

college or even retiring,but one thing is sure —your body is changing,and those changes canaffect your heart. Unfortu-nately, the number of women who have heartattacks increases dramati-cally once you turn 55.But the good news is thatyou have the power to

reduce your risk, and if you do have a heart condi-tion, there is plenty thatyou can do to manage it.It’s never too late to takeactions to decrease yourrisk for heart disease orstroke.

At any age, listen toyour body and talk toyour doctor. The morerisk factors you can keepunder control, the lesslikely you are to have afuture heart attack. Visit Kingston Care Center,located at 1010 W. Wash-

Student works to save summer camp

Kim Smith believes that naturecan be a healing place for children.

“Nature can heal children; there’sa quietness that can be healing,” shesaid.

The positive impact of beingoutdoors really hits home for theSmith family and their 11-year-olddaughter, Mariah, who reallyseemed to bond with nature at ayoung age, her mother said.

Mariah Smith has attended theAllen County Parks Summer DayCamps for six weeks every summersince she was 5 years old. She was

surprised when the county parksdecided to cut back on the summercamps this year, due to a limitedbudget.

The summer camps are held at

Fox Island and Metea Park. Campattendees learn how to buildappropriate lodging, have theopportunity to go canoeing andlearn about being a naturalist. Thisnaturalist training involves learningwhat plants are safe to consume andmuch more.

“It’s just all natural out there,learning about nature, out in thewater,” Kim Smith said.

The reduced camp season inspiredher daughter to write an editorial,

which was quickly picked up by alocal landscaper, Mo Palmer. Palmerowns Cultured Gardens, a land-scaping company and also contactedother landscaping companies and

asked if they could help.So far, the fellow landscapershave raised enough money to fundan extra week of camp. More than$1,000 has been raised in responseto Smith’s editorial. The additionalweek of camp will be called“Mariah’s Community NatureCamp.” To donate funds, contactthe Allen County Parks Department,which can be reached online atwww.allen countyparks.org, or byphone at 449-3312.

My name is Lonnie Heck. I am aSpanish teacher at Carroll High School -Freshman Center. Recently, I have becomethe Local Coordinator for the Center forCultural Interchange, a Chicago basednon-profit organization that sponsors andplaces high school exchange students withvolunteer host families in the UnitedStates for the academic semester or year.

I am writing to ask for your assistancein identifying qualified families that might

be interested in cultural exchange and volunteering tohost a high school exchange student. Volunteer host fami-lies provide the meals for the exchange student and aplace to stay (a student must have his or her own bed ineither a separate room or in a shared room with a hostsibling of similar age and same gender). Students havetheir own spending money to cover personal expensesand have accident and health insurance through theprogram. Host families are not compensated for hosting ahigh school exchange student per U.S. Department of State regulations. However, families are eligible for amodest tax deduction for each month they host a student.

We are currently seeking host families for several 15-18 year old boys and girls from countries such asGermany, Belgium, Taiwan, Vietnam, Hungary, Poland,Colombia, Brazil, and China among many others. We doour best to match students with host families based onsimilar hobbies and interests in order to ease the student’stransition into U.S. family life and culture.

Who can host a student? CCI host families come in allshapes and sizes and represent the diversity of Americanculture. Our families are of varied economic, religious

and racial backgrounds and include working parents,couples without children, singles and single parents,adoptive parents and empty-nesters, in addition to thetraditional nuclear family. All host families completean application and must clear a background check.

Please let me know if you want more information onCCI and hosting an exchange student. More informa-tion about CCI can also be found on our website atwww.cci-exchange.org

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,Lonnie Heck [email protected]
