The positive impact of being outdoors really hits home for the Smith family and their 11-year-old daughter, Mariah, who really seemed to bond with nature at a young age, her mother said. Mariah Smith has attended the Allen County Parks Summer Day Camps for six weeks every summer since she was 5 years old. She was surprised when the county parks decided to cut back on the summer camps this year, due to a limited budget. The summer camps are held at Fox Island and Metea Park. Camp attendees learn how to build appropriate lodging, have the opportunity to go canoeing and learn about being a naturalist. This naturalist training involves learning what plants are safe to consume and much more. “It’s just all natural out there, learning about nature, out in the water, ” Kim Smith said. The reduced camp season inspired her daughter to write an editorial, which was quickly picked up by a local landscaper, Mo Palmer. Palmer owns Cultured Gardens, a land- scaping company and also contacted other landscaping companies and asked if they could help. “She was impressed with Mariah’s editorial, ” Kim Smith said. “They started to raise money. I thought it was great that an adult heard the pleas of an 11-year-old girl trying to get more kids out into nature.” She said the day camps really seem to have a lasting benefit. “It brings a lot of children out of the city a nd into nature. We should really be promoting more of that, not less,” Smith said. So far, the fellow landscapers have raised enough money to fund an extra week of camp. More than $1,000 has been raised in response to her editorial. The additional week of camp will be called “Mariah’s Community Nature Camp.” The camps are for children ages 6-12, and are held Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The local landscapers, as well as other business professionals, are working to secure funding for an additional week of camp. The camp costs $100 per child, per week. To donate funds, contact the Allen County Parks Department, which can be reached online at www.allen countyparks.org , or by phone at 449-3312.

It doesn’t take a summer month or a warm month to be appealing to the average customer. This is a way that a customer can go in and do what they want. It’s all self-serve and they have control.

Rob Palevich, a Do itBest Corp. retiree,recently published a book entitled, “The LeanSustainable SupplyChain.”

He is an IPFW educatorwho took many years of experience and used themto write a book designed tohelp others run lean andgreen operations.

“I had no intention of writing a book until I wonan internationalcompetition last July atKent State University andwas encouraged to write abook on the topic of creating a green supplychain,” Palevich said, inthe press statement.

“From there, it took more than a year and ahalf to pull it all together.”

According to the state-

ment, “lean, green supplychain managementcombines the efficiencythat lean technologiesdeliver with theenvironmental and costbenefits of sustainability.The book offers start-to-finish guidance forredesigning companyinfrastructure andtechnologies to achievenumerous lean and greenbenefits.”

Palevich also introducesthe key concepts of leangreen supply chainmanagement, while addingcomprehensive casestudies that give examples.

Palevich explained thatthe book could be useful

for any CEO or manager.“The book is targeted

for any CEO or managerwho wants to make their

company world class inboth lean and green meas-ures,” he said.

The book also has aclear purpose in theclasses he teaches atIPFW.

“The book really tiesinto my Lean Black Beltclass where the studentsperform projects for theState of Indiana, most of the hospitals and manyarea manufacturers. Infact, I hope to writeanother book on how toapply Lean Six Sigma inthe hospital and medicalindustry.”

But it was the experi-ence he learned whileworking at Do it BestCorp. that made a differ-ence.

“The experience I gained

in supply chain manage-ment at Do it Best Corp.— along with with theacademic training over the

last nine years — hasreally helped me to be able

to write this book,” Pale-vich said.

Licensed child care inAllen County is hard to

find, according to theEarly Childhood Alliance.If you are a parent whohas been searching for alicensed child care optionin the city and you’vefound that most of thehomes or centers are fullto capacity, you arecertainly not alone.

“What we’re finding isthat in Allen County, wearen’t able to accommo-date the need for allparents that are calling usto request licensed care.When we see areas of growth, we see an

increase in the number of families that are callingus, but we’re not alwaysable to provide them witha lot of options,” PamLeffers, Early ChildhoodAlliance’s programdirector said.

She said high-growthareas have been impacted,but the organization has aremedy that will hope-fully fix the shortages inlicensed care.

“We would like to beable to provide moreoptions to families that

call us,” Leffers said.The remedy includesoffering learning opportu-nities for business owners

and those interested inopening child care facili-ties. Early ChildhoodAlliance will offersessions in many areas of town this spring, for facil-ities and homes that arelooking to becomelicensed. These orienta-tion sessions areconducted monthly, freeof charge, although pre-registration is required.

In addition, the organi-zation will also offer asecond orientationsession, which consists of a two-hour meeting thatcovers health, L icensedchild care in Allen County

is hard to find, accordingto the Early ChildhoodAlliance. If you are aparent who has beensearching for a licensedchild care option in thecity and you’ve found thatmost of the homes orcenters are full tocapacity, you are certainlynot alone.

A few of the topicscovered in the workshopwill include definingappropriate group sizeand number of adults perchildren and otherrequirements necessaryfor licensing, whichincludes having a staff trained in first aid andCPR and having a staff that is trained in childdevelopment.

“Licensed care has therequirements that supportbasic health and safety,”

Leffers said, She saidEarly Childhood Alliancealso educates parents whocall in for referrals aboutwhat they should belooking for in a carecenter for their children.

“We talk to parentsabout what they should belooking for,” she said.

“As an agency, we

know that the early child-hood years are times of rapid brain growth.”

Leffers said that it isimportant for a youngchild’s development thatthe care environment issafe, healthy and that thepeople are nurturing.

“We know that noteveryone will choose topick a licensed programand that’s fine. Weexplain what the optionsare in Indiana.”

The difference betweenlicensed and unlicensed

child care varies. Indianarequires that most typesof child care programsobtain a state license, butthere are exceptions.

Child care ministriesand home child careprograms that care for nomore than five unrelated

children are not included.“We’re unique in

Indiana,” Leffers said.“There are churchprograms that can be

really great and volun-tarily meet requirements.”

But in the East Allenreadership area, the short-ages in licensed carecould impact the optionsof many parents.

In the 46774 ZIP code,there is 1 licensed home,1 licensed center and 1unlicensed, registeredministry. There is 1licensed home in 46773and no licensed homes,centers or unlicensedregistered ministries inthe 46741 ZIP code.

Leffers said offering theorientation sessions andworkshops can helpcreate more options forfamilies.

“For us, we want tobuild capacity so thatwhen people call us, wehave something for

them,” she said. Beyondbasic workshops andorientations, Early Child-hood Alliance also offersa distinction between

licensed care centers andhomes, with the Paths toQuality program. Theprogram started in AllenCounty specifically andnow it is state-wide.

“We have over 200child care programs inour area that are partici-pating,” Leffers said. Shesaid Paths to Qualitydesignees indicate centersand homes that have goneabove and beyond forstandards.

The alliance also makeschild care referrals to

parents who are seekingcare. Parents can call 260-744-0298 or visitwww.ecalliance.org andclick on a child caresearch button.

The most importantbenefit that yoga hasbrought to my life, as wellas many others aroundme, is awareness. Aware-ness can have an effect onevery aspect of your lifeand indirectly help youmake huge strides in yourgoals. When practicingyoga, it’s not just aboutthe awareness it brings toyour body with how flex-ible or inflexible you are,but rather what is actuallygoing on inside, bothmentally and physically.

We have to realize that thefood we eat, our lack of exercise, and the stress wehave directly affects howthe body functions.

Promoting decisionmaking

We are surrounded by asociety that promotesunconscious decisions ona daily basis. The norm of health in our society hasbeen filled with medica-tions masking a problem,rather than understandingwhat is wrong. Withoutgoing too far on a rant,my point is that yoga is a

great way to come tounderstand your body andmind. By observing howyour body responds, insome cases you may beable to prevent takingmedication and improveyour health naturally. Thisawareness helps us tomake informed decisionsabout our health. Althoughthis is not an easy task, itis great for longevity.

Connecting mind andbody

When starting to prac-tice yoga, most people

come for the physicalaspect of it. It helps themget exercise, stretch out

after a stressful day orweek, or even to helpthem breathe. Although

these alone are great bene-fits, soon after finding ateacher they connect with,

yoga becomes so muchmore. Often times, yogastudents talk about the

first “ah-ha” moment theyhad on the mat. This newfound clarity withinknowledge helps us under-stand what helps our bodyand mind and whathinders it. It helps us tolive the way we preach. Itallows us to take a stepback, slow down, and begrateful. It allows us toconnect with what isimportant, no matter whatbelief system you have.When we dive deeper thanthe want to have a tonedbody, the fluctuations that

often prevent us disappear.

Realize your unlimitedpotential

A popular text in yoga

is the Yoga Sutras. In thefirst chapter, the secondverse is translated to“Yoga is the stilling of thefluctuations in the heart-mind.” It is thefluctuations, or the criti-cizing, worrying part of the mind that put us in ourboxes or categories. Weneed to realize our unlim-ited potential, findappreciation, and allow

 joy to be attainable in thislife. Awareness is devel-oped in practicing yogaand is often taken into

She said customers canreally benefit fromhaving different options.

“Customers just reallylike the idea. Theyabsolutely like the ideathat there is a substitutethat they have controlover. It’s a verywonderful concept and awonderful product.”

“We’ve extended ourproducts out to our doggyfriends. We have organicflavors. We have naturalflavors and we willprovide nutritional infor-mation on that product.”

The frozen yogurt fordogs is called Yoghundand also contains live,probiotic cultures.
