Commercial facade grants
spark bigger investment
G.I. Joes Army Surplus on North
Wells Street has been in business for
more than 40 years, almost half of
the buildings life. In that time, the
building has undergone several reno-
vations, but its current owners had
no idea what an architectural gem
they had on their hands before
embarking on their own two years
ago.
With the help of a $10,000
commercial facade grant from the
city, business partners Shawna
Nicelley and her mother, Nyla
Doswell, moved forward with plans
to renovate the buildings exterior.
When they applied for the program,
they intended to replace siding and
install new windows. But the demo-
lition revealed a healthy brick
structure, additional entrances,
ornate detail, windows and door-
ways, all hidden for decades beneath
painted plywood.
Today, its renovated storefront
blends seamlessly with the original
character of the building.
Its made us feel a lot more pride
in our business and our neighbor-
hood. It feels like weve really
revived or breathed some life into
this 100-year-old building, Nicelley
said. It was kind of a shame that it
was covered up.
It is a feeling shared by many
business owners who have taken part
in the commercial facade grant
program since it started four years
ago. On Wednesday, the city
announced its 2012 recipients - nine
more businesses that would benefit
from the program. This year, they
have awarded a total of $218,500 to
enhance the exteriors of local busi-
nesses.
The program not only provides
monetary support to commercial
renovations, but also a team of
professionals to guide owners
through the design process.
The design review committee
receives and reviews the applications
(and) works with property owners to
put forth the best projects possible,
said John Urbahns, city director of
community development.
The program requires that busi-

Homestead
teen gets local,
national attention
When she was in fifth
grade, Alison Mansfield was
tasked with writing an essay
about someone who demon-
strated civic virtue who
puts the common good
before his or her own inter-
ests. Seven years later,
people are writing about her
for the very same reason.
The Homestead High
School junior is the founder
of Operation U.S. Troop
Support, Inc., which collects
and ships needed supplies to
U.S. troops overseas. Since it
began, close to 74,000 items
have been shipped. By
Spring 2013, Mansfields
goal is to have collected
more than 100,000 items for
the troops.
In 2007, Mansfield started
Operation Socks For Our
Troops after a local post
office clerk told her about a
relative serving in
Afghanistan who requested
warm socks. As of January,
the group has collected and
shipped more than 12,000
pairs of socks to soldiers
serving in the coldest parts of Iraq and Afghanistan. She
has even created a childrens coloring book for soldiers to
share with Afghan children.
It is that kind of goal setting and determination that is
getting the young altruist recognition on both the local
and national level. In the last month, Mansfield has been
awarded with the first-ever Greater Fort Wayne Business
Weekly Youth Leadership Award and the Heart of America
Foundations Christopher Reeve Award.
Both awards recognize students who demonstrate
compassion and caring in serving the community. The
Christopher Reeve Award will also furnish a $1,000 schol-
arship sponsored by Merriam-Webster, Inc.
I was very surprised, Mansfield said of learning she
Designer advice: To remodel or move?
Should you sell your
house and take a loss?
How long will your house
stay on the market before
it sells? Should you invest
money to update your
house to sell in a down
economy? Will you
recoup money spent on
remodeling?
These are questions that
homeowners ask them-
selves everyday when they
are ready to make a
change. Many decide to
stay in their homes and
renovate their entire
house, adding just a room,
or an entire addition,
rather than face an uncer-
tain future.
Once you have made
the decision to remodel,
work with a home profes-
sional to plan and design
the structural elements of
the space. The decision to
work with a professional,
and the dollars spent in
the beginning, will avoid
costly amateur mistakes
in end.
Here are some tips to
help you throughout the
process:
What is it that you do
not like about the room
you have decided to
improve? Make a list to
remind you during the
process. You do not
want to spend money
renovating to end up
with the same environ-
ment.
What activities take
place in the space?
This will help you
decide the ambience of
the room and the
needed changes to
incorporate your
lifestyle.
When changing one
room or if you have
decided to renovate one
room at a time
select finishes that will
be cohesive with the
overall look of your
home when the entire
project is done.
Most importantly, dont
overlook the final
touches to pull a single
room or an entire
house together to make
it a home. Paint walls
with colors you prefer
to coordinate all of
your rooms together.
Another suggestion:
dont forget to update
light fixtures and cabi-
netry and/or hardware
in the remodeling
process.
To define and finish
your space, add art,
beautiful vases or
statues, candlelight and
interesting candle
holders, colorful
flowers, live plants,
comfy pillows in
accent colors to
brighten up the space,
and lap throws for
cuddling up with a
good book. Remember,
accessories are the
jewels of your home.
If your furniture is
outdated or worn,
replace it or add slip-
covers.
Your home is a reflec-
tion of you, and you
should be able to enjoy it
for years to come.

Nurse and hospice center
needs garden volunteers
Visiting Nurse & Hospice
Home is a not-for-profit,
locally-based agency that
provides end-of-life care to
patients and support for the
family. Hospice Home, the
agencys 14-bed, home-like
facility, is surrounded by beau-
tiful shrubs, trees, pathways
and blooming flowers. As
spring approaches, the agency
needs volunteers to assist in
the care and maintenance of
landscaped beds. This volun-
teer work is flexible and takes
up about 1 to 2 hours per
week. Leadership and equip-
ment is provided. If you have
skills and interest in basic
gardening, contact Ann Blue,
Volunteer Coordinator at 435-
3222 or email
annblue@vnhh.org. There is
also a special need for a volun-
teer to look after the many
rose shrubs on the property.
Garden volunteers are needed this season.

Family-friendly
block party
featured in heart
of city
Mayor Henrys Youth Engagement Council (MYEC)
will once again host Fort Waynes Almost Famous
event on April 28. The event will take place on the 800
block of Calhoun Street from 7-10 p.m. and will show-
case Fort Waynes talented youth. Performances will
cover a variety musical genres such as acoustic, rock,
pop, dance, and hip-hop. Admission to this family-
friendly block party is free; however, donations will be
accepted. Mayor Henry started M.Y.E.C. as an all-teen,
volunteer council, dedicated to service-learning, leader-
ship and engagement with citizens in the Fort
Wayne area. The 17 members of the M.Y.E.C. encourage
the youth of Fort Wayne to become involved in their
community through government and participation in
community events. This event, featuring teens in the heart
of their city, meets these objectives.
Aqua Indiana and the
Little River Wetlands
Project are hosting Earth
Day Fort Wayne 2012
from 1-5 p.m. at Eagle
Marsh Wetlands Preserve
on Engle Road.
More than one dozen
conservation groups and
environmentally
concerned businesses are
setting up demonstrations,
offering educational work-
shops, wildlife exploration
tours of the marsh, tree
plantings, and other
events. Its free, family
friendly, and a great way
to meet others working to
preserve wildlife and the
environment.
Aqua Indiana is both a
proud supporter of Eagle
Marsh, and its neighbor.
One of Aquas two sewage
treatment plants was built
at the edge of the 716 acre
preserve more than 40
years ago, back when the
area was just flood-prone
farmland. It may seem
odd that a sewage treat-
ment facility can coexist
with a nature preserve, but
in fact, its a natural fit.
Our facility processes
sewage so efficiently that
the water we release at the
end of the cycle is actually
safe to drink. The
reclaimed water released
from the plant flows into a
creek that crosses Eagle
Marsh, and our treated
discharge is actually
cleaner than the water in
the creek itself.
Aqua Indianas dona-
tions helped Little River
Wetlands Project establish
Eagle Marsh, and we
grant the preserve open
use of utility easements in
the area. In the future, we
hope to partner with Eagle
Marsh use some of our
land to create accessible
wildlife observation areas
for the physically
disabled.
Aquas involvement in
Earth Day Fort Wayne
2012 is meant to help all
organizations working to
draw people closer to the
environment, and to help
the community realize
what a gem Eagle Marsh
has become.
In just a few short
years, the hard work by
volunteers has helped
nature reclaim these
former cornfields. Eagle
Marsh is now home to
beaver, muskrat, fox,
coyote, deer, and other
native mammals. A broad
range of fish, amphibians
and aquatic plants again
thrive in the wetlands that
formed naturally when
efforts to drain them
stopped. Volunteers have
observed more than 200
species of birds, including
bald eagles. Yes, that is
how the marsh got its
name. Eagles are
becoming more frequent
visitors, feeding and even
thought to be nesting
nearby.
I hope youll use Earth
Day 2012 as an opportu-
nity to explore Eagle
Marsh with your family.

I am a firm believer in
the ritual of spring
cleaning. When it comes
to the seasonal clean up,
many people believe that
the easiest thing to do is
to just throw everything
away. However, thats not
always smart.
On a regular basis, I
visit homes of people who
are downsizing or people
who are cleaning out the
home of a deceased loved
one. I help evaluate what
objects are worth keeping,
what objects are worth
selling, and I show people
the smartest way to get
the most money for
unwanted objects-both
new and old. I remind
folks that trashing that
unwanted item may cost
you. Today, those objects
represent the much needed
money for rising health-
care costs and other vital
needs.
Far too many families
make uniformed and
costly decisions about
valuable objects without
unbiased professional
help.
I visit thousands of
homes every year nation-
wide and share my sound
advice and expertise about
the value of unwanted
objects. I show folks how
to identify the valuables
and glean much needed
cash for them.
Get the 411
Consider this: Grandma
passes away. In order to
put the house up for sale,
grandmas family
members meet at her
vacant house to empty it.
The family works to throw
away most of grandmas
stuff beaded purses,
ceramic canister sets,
silverware. Her belong-
ings the same items
that were perfectly fine a
few weeks ago before her
death make their way
from the houses vacant
rooms to the dumpster in
the driveway.
Just because grandmas
family doesnt want her
belongings, that doesnt
magically make these
items worthless. Grandma
had been insuring her
personal property
including art, antiques,
and collectibles for at
least $100,000 under a
typical homeowners
insurance policy for years,
yet suddenly her items
have no value! This is
ridiculous. You wouldnt
set fire to grandmas
house because shes not
using it anymore, would
you?
Grandmas 20-year-old
grandson probably wont
realize that grandmas set
of 1940s Blue Ridge
dishes are valued at $30
per plate as he Frisbee
tosses them into the
dumpster. Grandmas
daughter doesnt know
that her mothers late
1880s Victorian side chair
is worth $500. Grandmas
nephew, an accountant,
doesnt recognize an old
family portrait painting as
a work by an esteemed
Colonial artist with a
$75,000 retail value.
Grandmas family
unknowingly throws away
a significant amount of
money, just as if they
opened their wallets and
threw the cash into the
street.
Some families host yard
sales or house sales to
generate some funds,
however, be sure you
know what you are putting
up for sale and be certain
that your prices are
correct. I have seen many
items priced ridiculously
too low when family
members are organizing a
yard sale of grandmas
unwanted items. For
instance, I saw a $20,000
American Impressionist
landscape painting offered
for $10 with a bright
green yard sale sticker
affixed to its frame! Dont
let it go until you know
what its worth.

Giving your automo-
bile the spring cleaning
treatment
Warmer temps, budding
bulbs and chirping birds?
Yes, spring is definitely in
the air!
While youre outside
enjoying the springtime
sun, take a few minutes to
breathe some life into the
INSIDE of your car. (Lets
face it: winter weather can
take its toll, inside and
out! Its time for a fresh
start!)
Step 1 Say so long
to trash and clutter. Its
amazing how much stuff
can accumulate on the
floor, in seat pockets and
even atop empty seats.
Start by removing
anything that doesnt
belong in your car. French
fry wrappers, be gone!
Step 2 Remove floor
mats and give them a
good scrub. A little soap
and water will make a
world of difference!
Step 3 Dust your
dashboard. A damp cloth
ought to do the trick, but
if you need to tackle some
hard-to-reach places, grab
an old toothbrush or a few
Q-tips and work your
magic!
Step 4 Vacuum
everything! Thats right
whip out the attachments
on your vacuum and
launch a full-fledged
attack against anything
and everything that is

Online tools to help
you save money and time
Several years ago, the
only way to find great
deals was to gather the
weekend newspapers, clip
coupons, go to the store
and waste precious time
standing in long checkout
lines.
Now, more and more
websites are making it
easier to shop in advance
for holiday gifts, letting
shoppers avoid the tedious
hunting for coupons
through newspapers and
the craziness of last-
minute, in-store holiday
shopping.
Here are a few
resources and tips to save
you a bundle this spring
season from the comfort
of your home:
Online Savings Tips
* Collect coupons digi-
tally. Find great deals via
coupon sites such as
www.Coupons.Answers.c
om. The new coupon site,
owned by the popular
Answers.com allows

discounts from their
favorite retailers on items
such as electronics, home
and gardening products,
toys and more.
Users can also join a
vast community of shop-
ping experts to share
savings tips and coupons
with friends and family.
* More email, more
savings. More and more
retailers are offering deals
via newsletter promotions.
For great savings, sign up
to receive email notifica-
tions of secret sales from
your favorite shops.
* Get social. Sign up
for an account on social
networks such as

www.Twitter.com to "like"
or "follow" your favorite
retailers and coupon sites.
Major retailers are using
these sites to get the word
out about special early
shopper deals and secret
sales.
* Shop around.

ucts easily via sites such

provide free shipping and
free returns.
* Membership

and returns, and exclusive
offers.

greatly appreciate the scholarship, what excites me most
is that through this honor, more people will learn about
the needs of our soldier-heroes. Because of their sacri-

college education.
Mansfield planned to visit several top-tier colleges over
spring break and while she is unsure which one shell
choose, she plans to major in comparative literature or
English, and eventually move on to a graduate degree.
When the time does come for college, Mansfield has no
plans to let the light burn out on her service-centered
endeavors. She intends to run Operation U.S. Troop
Support from wherever she ends up with the help of local
support.
Our donor base is nationwide, so with technology and
motivated volunteers, it will be exciting to see how the
organization continues to evolve and grow, Mansfield
said.
With the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan, Mansfield
predicts Operation U.S. Troop Support will likely shift
some of the focus of their efforts to recovering soldiers
stateside.
However, there are still thousands of soldiers in
Afghanistan and continuation of our efforts on their
behalf is important, she said.
To start a drive for the troops, e-mail operationustroop-
support@live.com or call 260-312-3916. A list of
suggested donation items can be found at www.opera-
tionustroopsupport.org under the How Can I Help?

Fort Wayne air cargo hub lands second tenant
The former Kitty Hawk air cargo hub complex at Fort
Wayne International Airport has a second tenant to help
defray some of the financial costs borne by the Fort
Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority.
Carmel-based C&J Services & Supplies plans to start
leasing a 33,500-square-foot maintenance building
starting April 1 for $105,000 per year, said Patrick
Dooley, vice president of airport development for the Fort
Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance.
Their business is growing and needed a facility for
additional production and distribution and became aware
of our building through the alliance, and a broker pursued
that. Its a great facility for the type of use theyre going
to have in there, he said.
C&J started in 2001 as a U.S. military sourcing
company and has expanded into packaging and logistics,
and commercial procurement services. The company will
do some tractor-trailer customization work in the space it
will be leasing, which will be able to store at least eight
of the semis.

An Indiana State Police trooper who serves at the Fort
Wayne post recently was honored by the National Associ-

a Wolcottville womans life.
Trooper Mike Carroll, who was off duty at the time,
saved the woman when she was trapped in her burning
van after it crashed into a utility pole in LaGrange

According to NAPO, Carroll, a five-year veteran of the
State Police, was selected as an honorable mention for
the prestigious TOP COPS Award.
This year, there are a total of 54 officers representing
22 states and the International and Federal categories who

sought for IPFW
intern program
Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne said
it still has openings for northeast Indiana startup compa-
nies to take part in a program that covers more than half
the cost an intern for 10 weeks. IPFW said the Lilly
Endowment-funded Interns for Indiana program will
provide valuable educational experiences for its students
while helping high-tech, advanced manufacturing or life
sciences startup companies in the area. Participating
students will work 400 hours in each of the internships
and receive a $4,500 stipend from IPFW instead of
wages. Participating companies must have been founded
recently by entrepreneurs, and they must provide a
$2,000 membership fee to help cover part of the student
stipend. For more information, contact Debra Barrick,
director of IPFWs Office of Academic Internships,

Grant helps
start effort for
rain gardens
A grant from Wells
Fargo has helped to install
20 demonstration rain
gardens around the
community.
The grant from Wells
Fargo will pay for inter-
pretive signs placed at the
rain garden locations. The
signs will help inform
residents about the
impacts of urban storm
water and how the quality
storm water runoff can be
improved by rain gardens
before it gets into streams
and rivers, a press release
said.
Rain gardens help to
collect and control storm
water runoff.
Water collects in the
garden and remains there
for several hours until it
can
soak into the ground. The
gardens are planted with
native perennial flowers
and grasses to create
beauty and a habitat for
native songbirds and
insects that help to polli-
nate other plants.
Residents who walk by
the signs will be able to
learn more about how rain
gardens help to control
rain water runoff where it
falls, using a system that
mimics nature in an undis-
turbed state, the release
said.
More information about
the City of Fort Waynes
rain garden program can
be found at www.catchin-
grainfw.org. Residential
rain garden workshops are
also set to begin this
month.

are located at the following

Richardson departs airports;
board picks successor
The Fort Wayne-Allen County
Airport Authority has promoted its
director of operations and facilities
to executive director of airports.
Scott Hinderman had been the
authoritys operations director since
May 2007. Torrance Richardson,
who has served as airports director
since January 2004, is headed to the
Columbus Regional Airport
Authority to become its vice presi-
dent of government affairs and
strategy.
This is a great organization and
community, Richardson said in a
statement. I am sincerely grateful
for the support I have received from
the board, staff and community
leaders. We have accomplished so
much together and I have thoroughly
enjoyed the opportunities.
During the past eight years, we
have invested millions of dollars
through the completion of numerous
projects at Fort Wayne International
and Smith Field airports. Those
investments will serve us well into
the future.
Tory was instrumental improving
organizational efficiencies, imple-
menting our master plan and setting
the stage for the next chapter for the
communitys airports. He has served
us well and we wish him the best for
the next phase of his career,
Michael Gouloff, president of the
authoritys board, said in the state-
ment.
Richardson submitted his resigna-
tion to the authority at its Monday
board meeting, and Hinderman was
appointed as his immediate
successor.
We have been working on
succession planning amongst the
directors for some time now, and we
are moving forward with its imple-
mentation today, Gouloff said in the
statement.
Scott was tapped as a high poten-
tial successor for the top position,
and we are pleased with his perform-
ance. We look forward to his
leadership.

ness owners match grants
dollar-for-dollar. But offi-
cials have found that
owners are investing
beyond the match:
Nicelley planned on a
$10,000 match, but as she
worked with the citys
design review committee,
she saw the potential to
do more - $10,000 more.
Many times, the
committee will suggest
project modifications or
additions to help owners
see the buildings full
potential, Urbahns said,
often prompting the
owner to invest more
money to make it a
better project.
While the city has so
far granted $732,000 in
commercial facade grants
since the program started,
recipients have invested
$2.5 million. Some are
investing three to four
times the grant amount,
according to Fort Wayne
Mayor Tom Henry. This
years facade grant
awardees have pledged to
contribute about $415,446
in private investment to
make improvements on
their properties.
We didnt see the
potential that was there,
Nicelley said. (The
committee was) happy to
go ahead and allow us to
make changes because it
ended up making it a
better project. Theyre
educated in areas that
were not as business
owners. We cant always
see the big picture. When
I drive by my store now, I
could never have imag-
ined that it could look that
nice.
Now, Nicelley is
working with a new grant
to renovate another
building on North Wells
that she bought at auction
last year. She calls it her
1950s diner.
It just has the most
charming awning on it,
and you cant tell because
its painted brown and its
so unnoticeable, she said.
So unnoticeable, that even
Nicelley didnt think
much of it until a member
of the design review
committee suggested she
keep the awning and make
a theme of it. I thought,
well why not? she said.
With the addition of
neon lighting and outdoor
tables and chairs, her hope
is that a restaurant or
retailer looking for a retro
vibe will find a home
there.
At least I can make it
look nicer and if I end up
renting it or selling it, it
doesnt matter because
Im staying on Wells
Street. Im going to build
my business up for my
kids because Im taking it
over for my mother. I
want that business to be
there in 20 years for my
children.

Logistics Insight
announced last September
it would be leasing
105,000 square feet of the
hubs 266,000-square-foot
cargo sorting facility,
which had been vacant
since Kitty Hawk filed for
bankruptcy and shut
down in 2007.
Logistics Insight is
paying an occupancy fee
amounting to $283,302
for each of the first two
years and $291,800 for
each of the last two years
of its four-year contract
for the space.
The authority had been
seeking a replacement
aviation tenant to help
cover the cost of debt that
funded the cargo hubs
construction - a cost
previously covered by
Kitty Hawks monthly
lease payments of
$168,775.
The authority is obli-
gated to make bond
payments of about $2
million annually until
2020. Lease payments
that come from tenants in
the hub will reduce the
debt-service levy that
covers them.

Myrtle Beach service last
year, and now have the
opportunity to again
enjoy this great low-fare

Southern hospitality,
world-class golf and 60
