EACS redesign heats up
with taxpayer opposition
Petition signing began last week
for and against the EACS redesign
plan. Blue petitions against the plan,
as well as yellow petitions
supporting the plan, will be circu-
lated around the area over the next
month.
In a press release sent out by East
Allen County Schools, Karyle
Green, superintendent of the district,
explained the purpose of the
redesign.
Our task is to gain enough signa-
tures in a petition drive to allow us
to fund the Woodlan K-12 Campus
project so that all of Woodlan
students will attend school on the
same campus, the statement said.
There are tremendous advantages
to a K-12 campus, including those
which benefit the educational
process, community support of
programs both curricular and extra-
curricular, consolidation of services
and a reduction of both operational
and capital expenditures.
But a few residents arent happy
about the redesign, mostly because
of an increase in taxes.
In the press statement sent out by
the district, the redesign is explained
financially.
In addition to the change in
revenue for our operational funds,
our capital fund revenue (based on
property taxes) has seen almost a
$2,000,000 decrease with the laws
instituting property tax caps and
supplemental deductions.
The districts statement also said
that capital project funds are used to
keep the buildings maintained.
The EACS Board of School
Trustees has been diligent in keeping
all of our schools in top shape. But
again, with the almost $2,000,000
reduction to our capital fund
revenues, we can no longer maintain
21 facilities, the statement said.
In an effort to manager the facili-
ties, the district believes it has
become necessary to consolidate our
schools, the press release said.
Greens statement also emphasized
that the board is committed to
maintaining a high school in each
community and that research across
the nation has shown that the switch
to smaller learning communities
has been a popular movement.
Several meetings have been held
by the district to discuss five
proposed consolidation options.
...Dozens and dozens of meetings
were held with members of the
community, parent organizations,
church councils, chambers, retired
groups and businesses to discuss
what EACS constituents liked and
disliked about each of the five
options. Written input was accepted.
People spoke at Board meetings.
Polling was done, the statement
said.
According to the press release,
from the meetings, it became notice-
able that each of the five attendance
areas was committed to their
respective high school and each
community indicated that they
would do anything to keep their high
school in their community.

early college academy
Students could graduate with a diploma and an associates degree
Scheduled to open in
August, an early college
academy called East Allen

release from the district.

district schools. This data
was put together in a
report, entitled Evalua-
tion of the Early College
High School Initiative,
which was prepared by
American Institutes for
Research and SRI Interna-
tional.
During the first week of
December, the East Allen
County Board of School
Trustees voted to move
forward with plans to
establish such an academy
in the district.
In a press statement,
Superintendent Karyle
Green said that the
academy will have a focus
on a personalized environ-
ment.
East Allen University
will be a highly focused
high school program
where students can earn
an Indiana Core 40 high
school diploma while also
earning college credits
toward an Associate
Degree from Vincennes
University. The program
will include internships
with business partners,
project based learning,
and inquiry learning. One
of the key concepts of the
school will be a personal-
ized school environment,
promoting the inclusion
and belonging of all
students, leading to high
academic achievement
through enhanced support
structures.
The first year of East
Allen University will see
between 60-100 freshmen
and the corporation esti-
mates this number
growing to approxi-
mately 350-425 students
over the next four years.
Eighth grade students in
the East Allen County
Schools system have the
opportunity to apply, as
well as students who are
outside the corporation.
Current district students
and their parents will be
invited to meetings this
month to learn more.
Meetings for students
outside the district will
take place in February.
The school will feature
many different instruc-
tional planning methods
as well.
Daily schedules will
include additional study
and resource time for all
students, as well as daily
collaboration time for
staff, a press statement
said. Doug Hicks, assis-
tant principal at New
Haven High School, who
is also helping to plan the
early college academy
said students will have
access to the vast online
Vincennes media
resources, that students
would be utilizing a high
level of technology,
focusing on 21st century
skills, with an emphasis
on social and character
skill building, in the
press statement.

RediMed earns
urgent care certification
The Urgent Care Asso-
ciation of America has
designated RediMed as a
certified urgent care
center.
The certification
distinguishes RediMed,
according to the release.
To get the designation,
centers must meet or
exceed established
criteria.
As the public hears
more about urgent care as
an alternative for (non-
emergency) medical
needs, some may find it
difficult to distinguish one
center from the next,
Leslie Fennig, COO and
vice president of nursing
services for RediMed, said
in the release. By earning
this certification, we hope
patients will recognize
that our four urgent care
clinics have gone the extra
mile to meet national stan-
dards for quality urgent
care.
Urgent care is available
for medical conditions
that cannot wait but do not
warrant a trip to the emer-
gency room, including
cuts, sprains, fractures and
bouts with seasonal
illness. RediMed clinics
are equipped with X-ray,
lab services and licensed
providers who perform
minor procedures. The
clinic accepts unsched-
uled, walk-in patients
during its hours of opera-
tion.

RediMed is now a certified, urgent care center.

support, medical supplies, and supportive
counseling, to name a few, Amber
Recker, director of development for
Cancer Services said, in a press statement.
When people are diagnosed with cancer,
they dont know where to turn. Thats
where we come in. We are so grateful to
the Fort Wayne Derby Girls for their
continuous support.
For Bust a Move, local artists and
women volunteered their talents and their
bodies to create unique, inspiring cast
representations of the female bust and the
emotions associated with breast cancer.

Adams, Steve Allman, Ed Alvarez, Mary
Klopfer, Nick Fabini, Brian McGhee,

Gov. Mitch Daniels
announced Jan. 9 that
the state has reached an
agreement with Indianas
largest online retailer,
Amazon.com, Inc., to
begin collecting Indiana
sales tax on Internet
purchases.
Indiana will become
the fourth state to reach
such an agreement with
Amazon, but the
governor said he will
continue to push for
federal action to fairly
address the issue.
The only complete
answer to this problem is
a federal solution that
treats all retailers and all
states the same. But for
now, Amazon has helped
us address the largest
single piece of the short-
fall, and we appreciate
the company working
with us to find a solu-
tion, Daniels said.
According to the
agreement, the company
will voluntarily begin to

The FamilyWize
prescription drug card
program in Allen County
set a new record for saving
residents money on their
prescriptions in 2011.
According to figures
compiled by FamilyWize,
the program saved resi-
dents a total of $229,423
on their prescription drugs
last year. The card was
used 14,804 times during
the year.
Since the program was
introduced in Allen County
nearly five years ago,
county residents have been
able to save $736,881. The
average saved on a
prescription is $17.25, or
30 percent.
The United Way of Allen
County began offering the
program to residents
through its member agen-
cies in March of 2007. In
April 2008, the Allen
County Board of Commis-
sioners teamed up with
United Way to help publi-
cize the program and
distribute cards in the
community.
Too many of our citi-
zens are without health
insurance coverage and
even more skip buying
medicine or reduce the
dosage they need because
of the high cost, said
Commissioner Nelson
Peters. While this card
doesnt solve this difficult
problem, it does offer some
immediate relief.
Were grateful to the
Commissioners for helping
get the word out about
FamilyWize, said Todd
Stephenson, president &
CEO of United Way of
Allen County. This simple
prescription card can go a
long way in helping local
residents manage their
medical costs. I encourage
all residents to examine
whether or not it can help
them cut expenses.
FamilyWize cards are
primarily for people with
no health insurance or
prescription coverage.
However, they can also be
used when people have to
buy medicine not covered
by their health insurance,
Medicaid, Medicare or VA
benefits.
Most local pharmacies
accept the FamilyWize
prescription drug discount
cards. The cards have no
usage or age limits, income
requirements or registration
forms, and can be used
immediately.
FamilyWize cards
currently can be obtained
at more than 50 sites from
a variety of participating
local partner agencies,
municipal and county
agencies and departments.
The Associated Churches
of Fort Wayne also distrib-
utes the cards at its 28 food
bank locations. In addition,
you can access www.fami-
lywize.org to print a card,
look up drug prices and
find a list of participating
pharmacies.

Warriors sign Jones
for track and field
Indiana Tech track and field recently signed Quinton
Jones. Quinton is a multiple-time state qualifier formally
at Harding High School, a press statement said. During
Quintons time at Harding, he ran a lifetime best of 10.59
on his way to a third place finish at the Indiana State
meet.
Jones also ran summer track for the Fort Wayne
Express track club. He plans to major in computer engi-
neering at Indiana Tech.
We are very excited to have Quinton as part of the
program. He will make an impact both on the conference
and national level right away as a freshman.I have
enjoyed getting to know him. I think his experience
running the 400 in summer track will really improve his
200 times and should help him translate well to our
program. I am very excited to see his impact next
season, Warriors Coach Edgar said.

Small changes in your
diet can increase your
energy levels, improve
your hand-eye coordina-
tion, help with weight loss
and even improve the
vibrancy of your skin. The
following are common
nutritional mistakes that
are easily fixed with a
little planning. Learn how
a few changes can
improve your overall well-
being.
Skipping Breakfast
Avoid skipping meals,
especially breakfast. The
best way to keep your
metabolism high is to eat
consistent meals. Your
body needs to fuel up
before activities.
Remember to eat for the
future, not for the past.
When the body has
consistent meals, it avoids
going into starvation
mode. Even though most
of us have plenty of food
available, the body reads
inconsistency of meal
timing as a means to kick
into survival mode.
Instead of using stored
body fat, it will hold on to
it. The metabolism slows
to conserve energy and
muscle is often used for
fuel. Skipping breakfast
not only slows your
metabolism making it
harder to lose body fat,
but it also decreases your
hand-eye coordination. To
feel your best, start eating
breakfast and make better
choices throughout the
day. Also, stop eating 2-3
hours before bedtime so
you are sure to wake up
hungry. If eating before
bed is a necessity, choose
light, easily digestible
foods.
Replacing meals with
energy bars or drinks
Although energy bars or
drinks can be convenient,
they are still processed
foods that arent providing
you with proper nutrition.
Even though some bars
are better than others, the
dried fruits and granolas
are really high in sugar.
They often contain forti-
fied nutrients, meaning
that the items are not
naturally containing
certain nutrients, but they
are added to boast health
benefits. There is just no
substitute for nutrients
coming from real foods
like vegetables, fruits,
proteins and complex
carbohydrates. Reach for
real food when possible
and try not to use energy
bars or meal replacement
shakes as a staple in your
diet. Choose food closest
to its natural state for the
most nutritional value.
Trusting nutrient
claims
Be aware of how much
you buy because of a
nutrient claim on a
package that boasts health.
Most items claiming
something arent really
that healthy. Common
nutrient claims include:
fat free, 0 grams trans-
fat, no high fructose
corn syrup, or made
with whole grains. While
these claims are things we
do need to be aware of,
most are still made with
ingredients that offer little
to no nutritional value.
Look at ingredient lists to
determine what nutrition
the food really has to
offer. Just because a brand
of cookies claim to only
have 100 calories and no
trans-fat doesnt mean its
healthy. Its still a cookie
that is made with white
flour and sugar. Its best to
avoid as many packaged
foods as possible, no
matter what they claim.
Add more vegetables into
your diet and reap the
benefits of whole foods
nutrition.
Not drinking enough
water
Not drinking enough
water can lead to dehydra-
tion and every system in
your body relies on water
to function. Water helps
flush out toxins in vital
organs and helps carry
nutrients to cells.
According to the Mayo
Clinic, even mild dehydra-
tion can drain your energy
and make you tired.
Although each individual
requires a different
amount of water
according to several
factors, the easiest way to
start is to drink eight 8
ounce glasses of water
daily. This means plain
water, not flavored waters.
Eliminate pop (diet or not)
and sugary energy drinks
and limit coffee intake to
increase consumption of
water. Getting enough
water also helps with
digestion, weight loss,
headaches and much
more. Try using a reusable
bottle that you can take
with you anywhere.

Lifestyle modifications
create diet success
Its that time of year
again. Time for your
New Years Resolution
of Im going to lose
weight, or Im getting
back into my skinny
jeans, which basically
translates to I am
going to starve myself,
put chemically-based
foods into my mouth,
stress out over the
number on the scale
that doesnt seem to
change, and then blow
it all and dive face first
into the forbidden
chocolate decadence
cream cake.
Its the same behavior
year after year. We set ourselves up for failure. We go in
with the all-or-nothing mindset, expecting ourselves to
follow a bland, restrictive eating plan that is not fulfilling
or satisfying. Then, once we stray from the plan, we send
ourselves negative messages about how we screwed up
or blew it.
Dieting, the worlds most comprehensive eating
disorder, has a 95 percent failure rate. Why start your
year with those kind of odds? Its time for a new
approach. Its time to be real with yourself, be kind to
your body, and implement a behavior and lifestyle change
that will make you feel better mind, body, and soul.
Start with providing your body with real food. No
low-fat, sugar-free, or low-carb labels. In fact, real
food doesnt come with a label, or even a list of ingredi-
ents. Its just the bell pepper, just the egg, just the bean. If
youre considering a food that has more then 5 ingredi-
ents, turn away, put it back on the shelf. Foods that have

to his new business partner, Josh Lyons.
Now in his 30s, Knott said, I started when I was 19
and heres Josh starting up and now its my turn to teach
him through it.
Were both New Haven guys. We both went to the
high school and we know the community. Thats a real
good foundation for us, he said.
Lyons has been cutting hair for three years and has
worked at Brians Barber Shop since the beginning of
November.
About his interest in cutting hair, he said, I just liked
helping other people look good and the whole barber
shop environment.
The environment of the shop is vintage and both Lyons
and Knott enjoy their customers.
We try to be real personal, Lyons said, adding that a
great majority of their clients are regulars.
Knott said his business is beginning to change, espe-
cially as he continues to work on a Bachelors degree in
Business Management at Indiana Wesleyan.
Im learning a lot more of the business aspect of it,
he said.
He has been cutting hair for over 15 years and he has
operated his shop in downtown New Haven for four.
Lyons said working with Knott has provided him with
many learning opportunities.
Between barber school and Brian, its two separate
ways of cutting hair. Its two different styles of cutting
hair. At barber school, I learned a completely different
way to cut hair. Now using what Brians teaching me, its
like Im getting my own brand new style.
He said the two barbers share techniques with each
other.
We use each others hair-cutting styles, Lyons said,
adding that he has clients of all agesthose getting their
first haircut, to men who top 90.
Knott said having Lyons part of the team has helped to
bring in another set of clientele as well.
Josh brings in that younger group. Heres this young
guy hes bringing in more of the younger clientele,
just like I did when I first started in my career.
He added that New Haven is a great barber commu-
nity. It always has been.
The shop is a traditional barber shop, in that it offers
outline razor shaves and straight razor shaves, Knott
said.
Located at 617 Broadway St., he said, were always
here. Were going to be here for some time.
Both Knott and Lyons said they strive to give real
precision with their haircuts.
There is no appointment needed and customers are
encouraged to just drop-in.
Brians Barber Shop is open Tuesday-Friday from 8
a.m.-5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. They can
be reached by phone at 493-2500.

2012 Polar Plunge bigger, better in fifth year
On Saturday, Feb. 11, the Parkview
Field concourse will be taken over by
some brave souls, each person freezin
for a reason at the 2012 Fort Wayne
Polar Plunge.
The event raises money to provide year-
round sports training and athletic
competitions for children and adults with
intellectual disabilities through Special
Olympics Indiana and Allen County. The
organizations rely on corporate, civic and
individual donations to keep the program
alive and receive no federal- or state-
appropriated funds.
Were celebrating this year with some-
thing bigger and better than ever to bring
in more of a draw, said plunge co-chair
Julia Fiechter. The Mike Thomas and
Associates Realtor has been a Special
Olympics volunteer and fundraiser for
years.
In a new twist on an already popular
event, a new, unused dumpster filled with
ice-cold water, donated by Republic Serv-
ices, Inc. will be positioned on the
Parkview Field concourse, 1301 Ewing
St., where daredevils will take the plunge
at noon. Participants who raised the most
money will enjoy a luxurious hot-tub
soak, sponsored by Master Spasa pretty
good incentive to raise the most money,
considering the average February high in
Fort Wayne is just 34 degrees.
I know, it sounds crazy and it is,
Fiechter said.
To participate, each individual must
raise at least $75 in pledges to benefit
Special Olympics. Prior to the event,
participants must commit to the 2012 Fort
Wayne Polar Plunge by registering online
at www.firstgiving.com/soindiana/12fort-
wayne. Participants then collect pledges
in person or online through their own
personal fundraising pages that can be
created during the registration process. On
Feb. 11, participants bring their pledges
and a copy of their online fundraising
totals to the registration table for a final
tally of who raised the most money to
benefit the organization. Registration for
the Polar Plunge takes place on the
concourse from 10-11:30 a.m.
Those who raise at least $75 will get a
free, souvenir event T-shirt, and pledges
of $300 or more can pick from various
prizes. T-shirts will be passed out at regis-
tration, while other prizes will be mailed
after the event.
The opening and torch-lighting cere-
monies will be hosted by WANE-TV
weekend anchor Alyssa Ivanson in the
Olympic Village beginning at 11:45
a.m. Mayor Tom Henry will also be there
to help kick off the event and country
radio station K105-FM will broadcast the
festivities live on air.
Dont want to take the plunge? Thats
okthere are plenty of other opportuni-
ties for fun, like carnival games sponsored
by local sports teams.
When the plunging is done, the After
Splash Bash in the Lincoln Financial
Event Center will warm up guests with a
concert by local band Sugar Shot, as
well as food and drinks. All awards will
be handed out at the post-plunge party.
Entrance into the After Splash Bash is
free.
Fiechter said the team has worked
really hard to make this years Polar
Plunge a big, family event and while it
raises money for a good cause, no one can
deny the events shock value.
Theres just something about it,
Fiechter said of plunging into the
freezing, cold water. Its like doing that
one thing you said you would never do,
but had to try once.

long ingredients lists arent foods. They are shelf-stabi-
lized, nutrient-stripped fillers that will do anything but
nourish your body. Focus instead on your veggies, fruits,
nuts, seeds, beans, non-breaded meats, fish, eggs, healthy
fats like olive and coconut oils, and flavor these foods
with a variety of herbs and spices. Challenge yourself to
try new recipes and stay in and cook rather than going
out to eat. There are dozens of cookbooks out there, one
for every skill level from the very inexperienced cook to
the well-versed chef. Just be sure that the recipes in those
cookbooks only require real foods to create the dish.
Move your body. Focus on exercise, improving your
body as a whole instead of only doing exercises to
generate a calorie burn. While calorie burn is a result of
exercise, movement will help energize you, keep stress
levels in check, help you sleep better, and give you a
more positive outlook on your day.
And lastly, rid yourself of the all-or-nothing thinking.
Achieving optimum nutrition or optimum health is a
journey. There are all kinds of distractions along the way
and if you stray, just pick up where you left off. Realize
that optimum health does not come overnight, in a fad
diet, or in pill form. Have patience and support your
body in finding its long-awaited health.
