A local church has initi- ated an effort to help a family overcome the recent destruction of their home and belongings. On Wednesday, Aug. 24, a fire broke out at the New Haven residence ofFort Wayne Police Officer Mark Wentz. His wife, Renee, and family were home at the time of the fire, but all managed to escape safely. Wentz came home to find his family standing on the driveway , flames bursting from the home’s windows. Investigators determined a lighting strike sparked the fire, completely destroying the home and everything in it. Now the Wentz family’s church, Christ Lutheran Church in Woodburn, has started an effort to raise funds to help the family get back on their feet. According to a Christ Lutheran Church member, all local PNC Bankbranches in the greater Fort Wayne area will accept donations on behalfof the Wentz family.

Upscale items meet resale
prices in Georgetown
Renew, an upscale resale store, iscoming to soon to Georgetown Square.The store aims to “restore used productsto new purposes.” The store will be
managed by Jan Hartman, Dawn Mishlerand Jan Steiner. Proceeds will benefitBlackhawk Christian School, which isright down the road from the retail loca-tion.
Another important aspect of the busi-ness is to recycle, reuse and repurpose.
Steiner has experience working withresale stores. She was a manager at asimilar store in Michigan. The idea trav-eled with her when she moved to FortWayne. She met with the administrator atBlackhawk Christian School and the “ideacaught on,” she said.
“The idea is to support Christian educa-tion,” Steiner said. “It’s just another wayto increase revenue and to keep tuitionaffordable.”
Steiner met the other two women
involved, Jan Hartman and Dawn Mishler,through Blackhawk.
Mishler said her favorite part of beinginvolved is, “finding items that can berepurposed and turned in renewed treas-ures. Working with Christian co-workersis a bonus.” She has two children whoattend the school and has worked for over20 years as a business financial analyst.
Hartman’s husband is superintendent of the school and as she said, “he camehome one day and said that he talked toJan [Steiner] and thought it might besomething that I’d be interested in.” Shehas a background in business, having
been part of a family business for many
years.Steiner said a few things that tie all
three together include, “the business back-ground, the love for Christian educationand also, just reusing items, recyclingproducts and ministering to the commu-nity.”
By opening Renew, the managers hopethey can reach out to the community byoffering affordable items in a caring envi-
ronment.
“We like to have a department storefeel,” Steiner said, talking about the pres-entation and selection of items that willbe available. All items will be sold at“thrift store prices,” she said.
Donations are welcomed from anyone,the managers just ask that the items are ingood condition. Items can be dropped off directly at the store.

NISTEM Express to reach more

generous donations, theNISTEM EducationResource Center atScience Central has liter-ally found a way todeliver science, tech-nology, engineering andmath education to K-12students.
A brightly-colored boxtruck and van, adornedwith the words “NISTEMExpress,” will deliverlaboratory grade STEMequipment and resourcekits to classrooms acrossnortheast Indiana.
So more students canbecome familiar with howSTEM concepts areapplied in college andindustry, Kelley Automo-tive and Steel Dynamicspartnered up, donating the

“NISTEM Expressoutreach programs havebeen developed for allgrade levels, but ourresources are geared
toward assisting highschool STEM teachersand their students,” said
Jeffrey Nowak, IPFWassociate professor of education and director of NISTEM. “Partnering theExpress outreachprograms with ScienceCentral made sense forus.”

been looking for an organ-ization with a STEMbackground to share our

were largely influencedby her childhood experi-ences.
“I was 12 years oldwhen Father Tom wasmaking sandwiches andhanding them out the door[of the soup kitchen]. Iremember the people. Iremember the soup. Theywould have pots of soup
sitting on the stove. It wasreally neat for me as ayoung girl,” she said.
Today, the St. Mary’sSoup Kitchen uses 60gallon kettles for makingsoup. Most days, they usetwo kettles, but sometimesthey have to use three tomeet demand, Vorndransaid.
On the weekends, thekitchen is not quite asbusy as it is during the
week, but the demand isstill rising. The soup ismade fresh and served
hot. On Tuesdays andThursdays, volunteershand out donated sweets,like day-old doughnutsand other baked goods.Mondays and Fridaysallow for the donation of milk to be given awaywith the soup.
The demand for a hotmeal at the kitchen has
been rapidly increasing.At the start of thesummer, the soup kitchenhad served well over100,000 meals.
“The numbers just keeprising,” Vorndran said,adding that she andCarpenter got the idea forthe program four yearsago from another healthfundraiser.
This year’s fundraiserwill feature a fewdifferent events than lastyear’s. A live band, Spikeand the Bulldogs, will
volunteer their time toplay.“It’s all donated time,
service and talents,” Vorn-dran said.
There will also be asilent auction.
Vorndran saidsupporting the soupkitchen is community-based.
“It’s a communityeffort,” she said. “It’sopen to everyone.”
As the weekend volun-teer scheduler, shereceives calls from peoplefrom Ohio and Michigan,
looking to help at thekitchen.
“It’s great to have themand then they can sharetheir stories,” she said.“We’re so well known.”
The soup kitchen’sannual costs are madepossible solely from dona-tions and communitysupport.

Karen Kosberg is amarathoner. She’s also achaplain with Parkviewhospice. In October, shewill run her fifteenth fullmarathon. This year, shewill endure a grueling26.2 miles to raise moneyfor the CdLS Foundation.CdLS is short for Corneliade Lange Syndrome. It isa genetic disorder presentfrom birth.
“It causes a range of physical, cognitive andmedical challenges andaffects both gendersequally,” the CdLS Foun-dation website said. Theoccurrence of thesyndrome is “estimated to
be 1 in 10,000 live births.”Kosberg got involved
with running the race forTeam CdLS because sheknew of a story thatquickly became close toher heart.
“I have close friendswho had a son, Adam,with CdLS. Sadly, Adampassed away about 10years ago, but I know theirfamily shared muchstrength and lovethroughout his life,” she
said, in a press statement.“I hope to raise aware-
ness about CdLS and helpfamilies with CdLS,”Kosberg added.
She said knowing, “thatyou’re running for some-
body, or in memory of somebody who struggled,”is one of the main reasonswhy she is tying up herlaces and heading to thestart line in Chicago thisfall.
As a runner on and off since high school,Kosberg didn’t end uprunning her first marathonuntil 1999. Since then,she’s been hooked.
Her training schedulestarts with a plan 18weeks before the race,which builds up to the
marathon mileage. Sheplans to take a day of restfrom running the daybefore the race.
For Kosberg, runningmarathons has alsopresented a way to seemore of the world. Shehas run in Norway,Boston, Washington, D.C.,Honolulu, Seattle andmany other locations.
“I try to combine themwith seeing a differentpart of the country or the
world,” she said. “I like totravel. I combine myrunning with travel.”
Kosberg’s goal for theChicago race is fourhours.
She notes that she has
been a pretty consistentrunner all along, usuallyaveraging in the 3:40s or3:50s.
Although she had aninjury last fall that set hertraining back for a periodof time, she is trying tostay injury-free this timearound.
“I’ve noticed it’s harderto come back after that,”Kosberg said.
While said she is“excited and nervous,” forher race this fall, as aveteran marathoner, she
knows her way aroundfatigue.“The least favorite part
is mile 21 to mile 25.There’s that ‘hitting thewall,’ and it’s just a lot of
mental activity,” she said.“I kinda have a mantra.”
Kosberg said sherepeats, “stay strong, youcan do this,” to keepherself motivated and inmotion during races.
In the end, running theChicago marathon forAdam and for the CdLSFoundation is what givesKosberg the most strength.
She said she looksforward to the startingline.
“It can be a realemotional kind of thingfor me, once I’m in thecrowd and ready to go,”she said. “You’re justgrateful to be able to do it.I’m grateful to God thatI’m able to do this. I’mexcited about doing it and
nervous about finishing.”But overall, Kosberg ismost excited, “to just beable to represent peoplewho have been faced withchallenges in life,” and “to
support a foundation thatsupports people.”

Car maintenance and carpooletiquette tips for the new school yearMission Possible: A
Greener Car.No matter what kind of
car you drive, there aresteps you can take to
make sure you’re doingyour part to preserve ourenvironment.
The Car Care Councilrecommends the followingfive steps:
1. Keep your car prop-erly tuned. This one is awin-win. A well-tunedengine means your car isgetting the best balance of power and the bestpossible fuel economy. It’salso producing the lowestlevel of emissions.
2. Check and replacedirty air filters. Aclogged filter ultimately
results in wasted gas andloss of engine power.Replace the air filter, andwatch your car’s perform-ance improve.
3. Check and replacespark plugs. Bottom line:Dirty spark plugs canmisfire, which wastes fuel.
4. Maintain your car’scooling system. A cooling
system thermostat thatcauses an engine to runtoo cold will lower yourcar’s fuel efficiency.
5. Stay on top of main-
tenance. The Car CareCouncil also offers a freecar care guide. Order it atcarcare.org.
•••Back-To-School
Carpool EtiquetteReally, how hard could
it be? You pull in, youpick up your kid, and off you go!
It sounds simple, butwhen the school bell ringsat the end of the day,things can get chaotic in aflash. Here, we haveprovided a list of helpfultips to make the pick-up
procedure as smooth aspossible:
-Know the “trafficpattern” at your child’sschool. Most likely, youwill be expected to enterin a specific place and exitin another. If you try to goagainst the flow, youcould put young childrenin harm’s way. (And you
may ruffle a few feathers,too.)
-Don’t talk or text onyour cell phone whileyou’re in line. Yes, we
know this is a tough one,especially for multi-taskers, but it’s best to bealert as you inch your waytoward the front of theline. Plus, it’s always niceto smile and greetteachers, parents and chil-dren who may be waitingnearby.
-Arrive at the appro-priate time. This one is abit tricky because this“magical” time variesfrom school to school.After a few weeks,though, you’ll know whenyou should arrive in order
to spend the least amountof time in line.
(Arrive too early, andyou’ll sit for 30 minutesbefore the bell rings.Arrive too late, and eventhough you’re on theschool premises, it willtake 20 minutes to snakeyour way through theparking lot.)
-Be a friend to theenvironment. If youarrive before school isdismissed, you’ll likely besitting in one spot for afew minutes.
Be mindful of “noidling” zones, which arecommon at many schools.
Turn off your engineuntil it’s time to moveforward.

Students use science,history and English
for projects
Fifth grade teacher Nancy Jones, at Central LutheranSchool, recently had students participate in two differentclass projects.
The first project involved science. “As part of theirscience curriculum, her class was studying simplemachines and their assignment was to build a simplemachine and demonstrate it to the class,” a press state-ment said. “Students enjoyed sharing their ideas andcreations with their classmates.”
The second project tied together history and English.Jones explained that her class showed a deep interest ingiving monthly book reports, so she decided that shewould try a Wax Museum idea with them. Each child wastold to choose a famous person with roots in Indiana.They were to research the life of that person and preparea two-minute presentation.
“Along with this, they were to display pictures and arti-facts that their person might have used, or made. Finally,
they were to dress up as that person,” the statement said.Students set up individual displays and had other studentsand parents visit.
Visitors heard the story behind such famous people asGarfield the Cat, Frances Slocum, Jane Pauley, OrvilleRedenbacher, Tony Stewart, Gus Grissom, Twyla Parks,Carole Lombard and David Letterman. A student dressedas Subway spokesperson, Jared Fogel, even made anappearance.
“The students did an amazing job on their project.C.L.S. appreciates the time and creativity their teacherstake to make learning fun,” the statement said.
Jones is going into her 33rd year of teaching and willretire at the end of the school year.
“I enjoy being with the students and interacting withthem, making school fun,” she said.

majority of Fort Wayne,which was recentlydeemed by Bundle.com asone of the top five citiesthat spends the most onfast food, you’ll likelydefend yourself. We allstrive to be the best, butwhen it comes down to it,we justify whatever wewant to make our life runsmoothly because let’s
face it-change is hard.Although it may be hard
to change habits, it’s notimpossible. Notice yourchoice of words in thenext few days when itcomes to how you view
yourself or your health. If you defend yourself, hereare some tips to ensureyour giving it your bestshot so you won’t feelguilty the next time you’reasked:
•Journal your foodintake for three days.
Know what you eat!Start out with just threedays of writing down whatyou have to eat and drink and add up the calories.Don’t get overwhelmed bythe idea of writing downeverything all the time.Just take three days thatare typical for you anddon’t judge yourself. Useonline calorie counters orphone apps for quick andeasy documenting.
After three days, you’ll
notice your triggers andwhat may be hinderingyou. If you are looking tochange your lifestyle, Isuggest doing this everyweek. After a month ortwo, you will have
improved your knowledgeand it will become secondnature. I also recommend
journaling if you’ve come
to a stand-still or plateauin your weight loss.
•Look at your groceryreceipt.
Save your groceryreceipts for one month.Notice trends in yourshopping and examinewhether your tendenciesare preventing you frombeing healthy. When youfeel like you don’t haveenough money to buyorganic food or vegetablesin general, take a look atwhere you are spendingyour money. Often times
you may be justifyingbuying chips, crackers, orcookies and your moneyis being spent on foodwith no nutritional value.If you are on a budget,make the most of yourmoney and buy food that’sfor your best benefit.
•Choose movement.You don’t have to work
out at a gym or in a groupenvironment, but you doneed to get moving. Thismeans anytime, anywhere.The possibilities areendless, so be creative.
Examples may include:holding a squat whileblow drying your hair,running with high kneesto the bathroom and doingbutt kicks back to yourdesk, or stretching while
watching TV. Start with afew minutes each day andgradually work your wayto 30 minutes a day. Set
realistic goals to succeed.Make the intention tochoose movement and
most importantly, allowyour imagination toinspire you.
