over, starting him on to hisnext favorite artwork.Meyer, the museumsdirector of childrenseducation, had manyfavorite works to discuss.

Nearby, a lone televisionset served as the displaycase for an animatedcartoon. The quality andsophistication of its anima-

tion was that of a studioprofessional. But Meyerlaughed and said it was infact the work of a senior atBishop Dwenger HighSchool in Fort Wayne.After the student, SethBoyden, was accepted toother prestigious artprograms, he continued tohold out hope for his top

choice - the CaliforniaInstitute of Art, a schoolthat often places its gradu-ates at Pixar AnimationStudios. He got in.

Stamp Out Hunger seeksto close the meal gapLast year, Allen County residents

donated more pounds of food thanany other similarly sized commu-nity in the nation during the LetterCarriers Food Drive. In 2011, itmay be more important than everfor the community to again rallytogether to get food to those inneed.

Indianas food bank association

and Feeding America, the nationslargest domestic hunger relieforganization, recently releasedMap the Meal Gap, a studydetailing the food budget shortfallof families struggling with hungerin Indiana each year. According tothe association, Feeding IndianasHungry, the state needs an addi-tional $389,851,730 to meet foodneeds. Of that, $21,234,530 isneeded in Allen County.

Just over one million Hoosiersare food insecure. Of them, 40percent do not qualify for foodstamps or other governmentprograms, said Emily WeikertBryant, executive director of

Feeding Indianas Hungry.The USDA defines families as

food insecure if they lack access, attimes, to enough nutritionallyadequate food for an active, healthylife for all household members.Why dont 40 percent of food inse-cure Hoosiers qualify? What isoften overlooked is that almost halfof the food insecure have incomesabove the typical threshold for theSupplemental Nutrition AssistanceProgram (SNAP), formerly calledfood stamps. In addition, one inthree food insecure households haveincomes above the threshold formost government nutrition

programs, including free andreduced price school meals.That is why those 40 percent rely

on food banks to feed their families,but according to Bryant, the chari-table hunger relief sector cannot dothe job alone. One effort is againtrying to help these food pantriesget through it.

The National Association ofLetter Carriers (NALC) Food Driveto Stamp Out Hunger is thelargest one-day food drive in thenation. It happens each year on thesecond Saturday in May in more

than 10,000 cities and townsthroughout the country.

All residents have to do is place agrocery bag of non-perishable fooditems by mailboxes on May 14 fortheir letter carrier to pickup anddistribute. It is that simple.

In the 2010 Letter Carriers FoodDrive, area schools, residents andletter carriers contributed more than

Talent Initiative grantsbolster project-based

learning programsBy BARRY [email protected]

More than 1,100educators from schooldistricts across northeastIndiana will receivetraining in project-basedlearning through a multi-million-dollar series ofprofessional develop-ment grants awarded by

the Talent Initiative.The grants, which total$2.07 million, also willhelp fund the creation ofproject-based learningprograms at areacolleges and universitiesthat will train futureteachers and study theeffectiveness of the

method of instruction.In project-based

learning, teachers act asfacilitators as studentswork in teams to gainunderstanding of aconcept and then applywhat theyve learned to aproject that they them-selves helped choose.Project-based learningstresses critical thinking,

collaboration andcommunication.Leonard Helfrich,

director of the TalentInitiative, said one of thegoals of the organizationis to assist the regionsexisting and future workforce in acquiring skillsthat can benefit busi-

nesses. Project-basedlearning and an emphasison STEM education science, technology,engineering and mathe-matics in areaclassrooms can helpstudents develop skillsthat companies desire,which makes the regionas a whole more attrac-tive from an economic

development standpoint.Our concern is that inthe next five years wellhave engineering-typejobs, STEM-relatedcareers that will becomeavailable, and if wedont have the people tofill those, those jobs willgo elsewhere, Helfrich

said.Grants from the Talent

Initiative, which wasestablished in 2009 bythe Northeast IndianaFund and the Commu-nity Foundation ofGreater Fort Waynethrough a $20-milliongrant from the Indi-anapolis-based LillyEndowment, will benefit24 school districts in 11

counties, area collegesand universities, andregional educationorganizations. TheNortheast Indiana Fundsupports the NortheastIndiana Regional Part-nership.

Not so, said Cheryl Piropato, zoo education andcommunications director. The zoo has nothing likethis in the works and we want the public to know

immediately so that this scam can be stopped in itstracks.

It was last reported to the BBB that an individualsold car detailing coupons for $10, but whenconsumers showed up at the business with coupons topurchase services, the business owner was stunned.His business was never in association with the couponprogram.

As a first check, before purchasing anything,

contact the business or organization the individual issoliciting money on behalf of and see whether or notit is legitimate. Chances are, it is not, said Mike Coil,with the BBB of Northeast Indiana.

Businesses and consumers should contact the BBBif they are approached with this coupon book offer, orany other suspicious fundraising offers.

While donationcampaigns such as theNALC Food Drive haveproven successful, thedonations will only fulfillfood pantry needs for aportion of the year. Mapthe Meal Gap hopes tomake changes at thecongressional level, byproviding for the firsttime food insecurity ratesby district. Previously,food insecurity data wasonly available at the statelevel in the USDAsannual report. The study

also analyzes eachdistricts food insecure

population to determinetheir income eligibilityfor federal nutrition assis-tance. It hopes to redefinethe way service providersand policy makersaddress areas of need.

New Tech @ WayneHigh School in FortWayne, with a fifth NewTech school opening inthe fall in ColumbiaCity. Helfrich saiddiscussions are ongoingto create a sixth NewTech school.

All of the New Techschools use project-

based learning to teachstudents and emphasizeSTEM education.Helfrich said the TalentInitiatives latest roundof grants is meant toextend such programs tomore traditional highschool classroomsettings, middle schoolsand colleges and univer-

sities.Our real goal was to

go beyond the NewTechs and offer these(grant) applications toschool districts bothpublic and private aswell as universities in anattempt to as broadly aspossible implement thebenefits of project-based

learning in our region,he said.

Helfrich said schoolsdistricts that receivetraining through the one-time grants are requiredto develop their ownproject-based learningprograms, but its up tothe districts to decidehow best to incorporate

project-based learning intheir schools.

Through the grants,teachers in grades 6-12,administrators andhigher-education facultymembers will receivetraining this summerfrom the Buck Institutefor Education, a Novato,Calif.-based nonprofit

founded in 1987 that is aproponent of project-based learning.

John Mergendoller,executive director of theBuck Institute, saidwhile the number ofschools across thecountry adoptingproject-based learningprograms is growing at afaster rate each year last summer, the instituteworked with about 5,000educators, he said; thissummer, he expects thenumber to reach 10,000

the concept is farfrom new.Project-based

learning has gone by awhole number ofdifferent names, but itsbeen around sinceSocrates was askingquestions, How do youknow what you know?Mergendoller said.

He said project-basedlearning doesnt changewhat students areexpected to know, but itdoes change how they goabout learning it.

If you want kids to

think critically, you haveto give kids the opportu-nity to do it,Mergendoller said.

Giving students thefreedom the think criti-cally and to help shapetheir own educationengages them in a waythat traditional lecturesand worksheets some-times cant, he said.Thats something LizBryan has witnessed asdirector of New Tech @Wayne High School.

Its really putting

kids in the driving seat

instead of you, she said.Of the more than $2

million in grantsawarded by the TalentInitiative (see theaccompanying sidebar),$1.81 million went to aconsortium of schooldistricts and educationorganizations led by theRegion 8 Education

Service Center inDecatur. The consortiumincludes 20 northeastIndiana school districts,Manchester College,Science Central in FortWayne and the NortheastIndiana Science, Tech-nology Engineering andMath EducationResource Center.

Among the collegesand universities toreceive grants, TrineUniversity in Angolawas awarded $251,000to help open a Center for

Excellence in ProjectBased Learning in itsFranks School of Educa-tion. Trines center willfeature a model project-based learningclassroom, said RyanTwiss, program manager

at the Talent Initiative.Theyre very region-

ally focused, openingthis up not only to theirstudents but any teacherfrom the area, not justfrom Angola or Steuben(County), he said.They want it to be kindof a hub for project-based learning in the

region.Huntington County

Community SchoolCorp. and HuntingtonUniversity were awarded$144,000 for trainingand to have nine educa-tors certified by theBuck Institute asproject-based learningtrainers. The grant alsoallows the school districtand the university toplace 64 educators inSTEM-related extern-ships with localemployers, which will

help them as theydevelop projects for theirstudents, said the schooldistricts superintendent,Tracey Shafer.

He said classroomswont transformovernight after teachers

are trained in project-based learning. Instead,the changes will begradual.

Were probably goingto see a teacher use thisa few times until theyreally get comfortablewith the process, hesaid.

Krista Stockman,

spokeswoman for FortWayne CommunitySchools, which will havemore than 300 highschool teachers trainedin project-based learningthis summer, said thedistrict isnt trying toreplicate New Techprograms in all of itshigh schools, but it doessee a value in providingan additional method forteachers to effectivelyengage students.

There has been a lotof concern about high

schools in America, shesaid. Weve had thesame model for 100years or more, and ifyou look at anything,what worked 100 yearsago probably doesntwork the same today.

Yet, the exhibit comes ata time when parents andpoliticians question thequality of Americasteachers and the nations

droves of area studentsawarded for their excep-tional work in art andwriting is proof thatteachers in northeastIndiana are doing some-thing right.

Last year, the Fort Wayneregional ranked fifth nation-

ally for total number ofnational Scholastic winners,according to Meyer. Thatsurpassed regionals inplaces like Chicago, LosAngeles and Houston.

This year, Fort WaynesCarroll High School hadfour regional Gold KeyPortfolio recipients. Those

students moved on asnational finalists for schol-arships ranging from$1,000 to $10,000.

Jodie Asplund has beenan art teacher for 26 yearsand now teaches the FineArts Connection class atCarroll. The coursedevelops student portfoliosfor college applications andscholarships. She helpedsenior Megan Shank withher award-winning art port-folio.

Shank, who focusesprimarily on drawing, isalso a gifted painter. At

least, the University of St.Francis thought so whenthey awarded Shank withscholarship funds afterreviewing her portfoliosubmission.

Carrolls other finalistsare photographers taught byNicole Croy, a 15-year

veteran photographyteacher who started thephoto program at Carroll adecade ago. Croy describedeach of her students by thekind of work they do.

Senior Ashley Martinprints her photo work oncanvas. The fashion enthu-siast sews with needle and

thread on top of her prints.It is really beautiful andsubtle, Croy said. Martinwill attend the Art Instituteof Chicago in the fall.

Taylor Dafforns port-folio is a collection ofmixed content that featuresthe seniors ability tocapture a sense of light.She really observes wherethe sun is and how the lightis, Croy said.

Senior Katherine Phippsphoto work is done using120 film, intended foramateur photography.

She is shooting with a

little, crappy toy cameraand then cutting apart thenegatives and piecing themtogether, Croy said. So,shes got a really uniquestyle.

Phipps will make themove to New York in thefall to attend Pratt Insti-

tutes School of Art andDesign.

I have wanted to go toPratt since I was afreshman, Phipps said. Shetraveled there for her port-folio interview at the end ofJanuary. At that point,Phipps had already won herregional Gold Key portfolio

award. Her letter of recom-mendation highlighted theachievement and Phippsmentioned the award in herinterview.

Not only was sheaccepted, Phipps wasawarded a Merit Scholar-ship - a renewable $25,500for the first two years at theupstate campus, the highestmerit scholarship theschool offers.

Had it not been for herart teacher, Phipps said shewould never have appliedfor the awards program.

(Croy) pushes applying

for her advanced photo kidsbecause it is a great schol-arship opportunity, Phippssaid. I dont think I wouldhave had as good of a shotat doing well and eventhinking I could apply forit. But our program is reallystrong.

For now, with highschool graduations nearing,the excitement of what isnext for these young artistsis in the air. And if therecently announcednational award recipientsare any indication, things

are looking good.

Boyden won an Art Port-folio gold medal, as well asthree silver medals in filmand animation. EachCarroll High Schoolnominee took home anaward. Taylor Dafforn wona Photo Portfolio silvermedal. Ashley Martin wongold in photography;

Katherine Phipps wonsilver in photography and

Megan Shank won silver indrawing.

According to Meyer, theFort Wayne regional tookhome a total 38 nationalScholastic Art and Writingawards.

A month-long science project conducted by Phyllis

Hockemeyers third-grade class at Central Lutheran

Elementary School will teach students about good

versus bad nutrition, all with the help of a few albino

rats.

Sponsored by the Dairy and Nutrition Council, the

experiment demonstrates for students the benefits of

making healthy food decisions. In addition to other

foods, one rat drinks milk at meals, while the other

dines on sugar water. Each rats length and weight is

measured weekly to record results.Hockemeyers students were excited to choose names

for the new classroom pets, now called Snowy and

Fluffy. Students have filed into the classroom each

day after school for a chance to hold one of the tiny

pets before they are adopted by school families once

the science project is complete.

St. Paul Lutheran and Emmanuel Saint Michael

schools also participate in the program. The hope of

these hands-on activities is to keep students excited

about science.

Leading wedding website tapsboutique as top pick

It is the webs most popularwedding resource for the newlyengaged. Couples will more thanlikely visit theknot.com beforereciting vows on their wedding day.That is why gaining recognitionfrom the wedding planning websiteis a big deal.

The Bride to Be, a Fort Waynebridal boutique, was named IndianaBridal Fashions Pick in The KnotBest of Weddings 2011.

Sarah Winling and Kate Millerfirst opened the doors of The Brideto Be in August 2007. The sistersstarted the boutique after theirwedding-planning friends felt FortWayne lacked options for what

many consider the most importantelement - the dress.

We did a lot of homework anddecided it would be a really goodthing for Fort Wayne, Winlingsaid. [The boutique] draws a lot ofgirls from out of town and out ofstate. I like to think we are addingto the community and economy inFort Wayne. That certainly is a goalof ours.

The business has grown so muchin the past four years, the storeregularly needs shifting to accom-modate its expanding designerselection, something the sisters feelis important to fit every budget.Dresses range in price from $400-$4,000.

But it takes more than budget-

fitting gowns to be so highlythought of by clients, who were thedriving force behind The Knotsselection.

We are pretty close to ourbrides, Winling said. It is kind ofa long process we go through withthem - some pick out the dress ayear in advance.

Winling thinks because sistersown the boutique, perhaps that iswhy clients are treated like family.

We have brides that still emailus to see how were doing. Somesend notes, Christmas cards, someeven bring in their babies. They canjust tell that we care. We takeeveryones wedding personally.

The Bride to Be, 2809 Broadway,is open Tuesday through Saturday.For those seeking a bridal consulta-

tion, contact the boutique at745-8000 or [email protected].
