Memoir tells story of area’s pastBefore the beaten path was covered with
asphalt and when the only “homestead” was aone-room schoolhouse, southwest AllenCounty was a tight community of farmingfamilies, each planting their own roots. RayAnderson fondly recalled stories of those daysfrom his desk chair, surrounded by piles offiles and notes, books and boxes, all containinghis family’s memories.

company’s fourth-quarter and 2011 earnings, Chairmanand Chief Executive Officer Scott Trumbull listedFranklin’s research-and-development efforts among itskey strategic goals.
The company’s 2011 earnings per share rose 47percent to 50 cents, and Trumbull said last year’s resultswere achieved “while still investing in our future as ourresearch, development and engineering spendingincreased by 23 percent versus the prior year.”
Franklin has identified as a strategic objective the devel-opment of “more new products that provide a prepackagedsystems solution for our customers,” he said.
“These new products will provide a simplified installa-tion and better value for our customers while featuringmore Franklin technology and providing us significantlyhigher revenues per installation,” he said.
For example, Trumbull said, the company initiated betatesting last year for two new packaged systems: a dewa-tering system for oil and gas wells and a solar-poweredwater well system.
The company plans to have the two new product lineslaunched commercially by the end of the year.
The new headquarters complex near Fort Wayne Inter-national Airport will support similar advances with anengineering center of excellence, which a company factsheet said would “provide the testing capacity to facili-tate long-term product innovation and growth.”
At the Bluffton headquarters, where the work force of225 occupies leased space in two separate buildings, “thecompany has outgrown current engineering and labora-tory testing capacity and periodically experiencesbottlenecks in its development process as projects awaittest space,” the project fact sheet said.
“The new facility will offer state-of-the-art laboratoryfacilities that will provide a doubling of the number oftest stations.”
The facility also will be large enough to accommodatework force growth, and its location at 9255 CoverdaleRoad will make it accessible for customers and vendorsas well as employees.
“A large percentage of the work force lives in AllenCounty already, and we anticipate this will be seen as apositive move,” said spokeswoman Tammy Davis.
Fort Wayne-based MSKTD and Associates has beenretained as the project’s architect, and Indianapolis-basedTurner Construction Co. will manage its construction.

For Kylee Shirey, theproject appeals to everynoble and daring part ofher: the risk-taker, theentrepreneur, theeconomic visionary, thehopeful steward of educa-tion and community, andthe grateful attorney whobelieves at her very coreshe must pay back whatothers have given her.
It will begin withlemonade standsthroughout Fort Wayneand — who knows, shesaid — may very wellwind up being the littleproject that pays some ofthe biggest dividends inretaining and attractingtalent in Fort Wayne.
It will begin withLemonade Day FortWayne on May 12 — theinaugural event here
connected to a 6-year-oldnationwide movement toencourage entrepreneur-ship among young peopleby having them erectlemonade stands and inthe process learn aboutstarting and running abusiness.
“What I love about thisidea is it’s such a simpleconcept, and yet we’reteaching kids these really,really important lifelessons that they’re notgetting in schools rightnow,” said Shirey, anearnest 31-year-old corpo-rate attorney with Barrett& McNagny LLP and co-director of Lemonade DayFort Wayne. “It’s a wayfor parents — or if aparent isn’t involved,another mentor — tocome alongside a kid andwork through this withthem.
“And I think it’s neat
because the Wall StreetJournal has done stories— and just nationwidethere have been storiestold — about kids who setup their lemonade standand then the next yearthey add to it. So it’sentrepreneurialismbreeding more entrepre-neurialism. Once the kidgets the bug and they cansee the potential of whatthey can do — the ideasthey can generate and themoney they can make —they will get really excitedabout it.”
Lemonade Day wasstarted by Houston-basednonprofit Prepared 4 Lifeand has grown from thatone city to an anticipated43 this year involvingnearly 200,000 youngpeople from pre-kinder-garten to 12th grade.

They are encouraged toenjoy the fruits of theirlabor a little bit, save upfor a rainy day and giveback to the communitythat supported them.”
Eberly said the nextemerging step is inte-grating Lemonade Daywith lessons in schoolclassrooms, and that’salready happening inHouston and Chicago.She said her organizationhas developed materialsthat make it easy to alignsuch things as lemonade-stand math and sciencewith school curricula stan-dards.
There are also thesomewhat less-measurablebenefits.
“We’re seeing kids thatare starting to believe inthemselves,” Eberly said.“They’re finding they canbe successful in some-thing. There’s also someevidence it may have animpact on kids staying inschool.”
Lorena Orvananos ofSugar Land, Texas, justoutside of Houston, canattest to the benefits ofLemonade Day. She, herhusband, Alejo, and theirchildren — Alejo Jr. andtwins Isabela and Patricio— began participating inHouston’s Lemonade Dayas a family project twoyears ago.
She ticked off all thelearning her children have
experienced: that not allincome is profit; that busi-ness location is important;that advertising helps; thatteamwork and thinkingoutside the box are crit-ical; and that it helps if abusiness is unique.
The Orvananos familyaddressed uniqueness witha secret lemonade recipeand a home deliveryoption that has Alejo Jr.,now 11, and the 8-year-old twins transportingplastic pitchers oflemonade to residents oftheir suburban neighbor-hood.
Their family project hadone other reward: Itbrought a shy Patricio outof his cocoon.
“At the end of the firstLemonade Day,” hismother said, “he was soopen, he was so excited. Itwas great for him. Now,he’s a lot more confident.”
Shirey was never shorton confidence, by thesounds of her life’sjourney, which beganoutside Oakwood inPaulding County, Ohio.But the mother of twoyoung children shares somany of the qualities andexperiences that typifyLemonade Day. In gradeschool, she had a Route66 lemonade stand madeout of a cardboard refrig-erator box, and later shetested her budding entre-preneurial skills by
making hair scrunchiesand selling them at herfather’s convenience store.
At the heart of herinvolvement in LemonadeDay, though, is a missionthat brings a repressedtear or two when she talksabout it: helping thecommunity by offeringpayback for the assistanceshe received along theway.
It is the kind of philan-thropic responsibilityLemonade Day hopes toinstill in young people.
“People,’’ Shirey said,“have invested in me, andI think it’s important togive back. I wouldn’t bein the position I’m in, Iwouldn’t be doing whatI’m doing had it not beenfor people taking theirtime to invest in me.”

Dr. Lori’s yard sale ‘don’ts’
Have you ever spent aSaturday morning goingto yard sales? The signsare all around you, butdon’t want to drive aroundaimlessly or waste moneybuying junk. Here aresome tips for making themost of your yard saleshopping spree.
Don’t forget the cashYard sales are not like a
quick trip to the conven-ience store. You will needmore than just your keys,cell phone and credit card.You need coins and smallbills in order to take homethe best from a yard sale.Don’t ask a yard saleseller to break a $50 bill,it could be the end of yournegotiations.
Don’t sell everythingSome things aren’t
supposed to be sold on thefront lawn. Don’t selloriginal art or jewelry atyard sales. There are notenough people shoppingat a local yard sale toattract high prices. Yardsales are not the place toget big bucks for yourheirlooms.
Don’t get up early I have made it a lifelong
rule that there is no goodreason, other than a housefire, to get up before 8a.m. Don’t get up at thecrack of dawn to try tobeat everyone to a yardsale. You won’t miss athing.
In fact, you can get thebest prices aroundlunchtime as most yardsale hosts are ready to callit quits. By noon, sellersare exhausted and theydon’t care what you payfor that Wedgewoodcachet pot, as long as youtake it with you. It is a
great time to negotiate oreven get stuff for free.
Don’t buy damageCondition is a key to
value. If you pick up acompletely tattered linenfrom a yard sale thinkingthat it is some fabulousantique Amish quilt, youare probably paying hard-earned money for thesame rag that yourhusband would use to waxthe car. Someone else’stattered piece isn’t auto-matically a wonderfulantique. Don’t fantasizeabout a yard sale find. If itis in poor condition, leaveit on the lawn.
Don’t buy parts I always say that buying
parts is for automechanics not yard saleshoppers. Don’t buy
incomplete sets or gameswith missing pieces. Buycomplete games in theiroriginal boxes wheneverpossible. Instruction book-lets increases value by 15percent.
Don’t let it go untilyou know what it’sworth
As an antiques appraiserwith a Ph.D and decadesof market experience, Iknow that most hostsdon’t bother to find outwhat their objects areworth before they schlepthem from the attic out tothe front lawn. Do yourhomework and you can gohome with some greatstuff from your neighbor’syard sale.
Ph.D. antiquesappraiser, Dr. Lori pres-
ents appraisal eventsnationwide. Dr. Lori is thestar appraiser on the hitTV show, “Auction Kings”on Discovery channel. Tolearn about your antiques,visit www.DrLoriV.com,www.Facebook.com/DoctorLori or call 888-431-1010.

Lapper 2012 is a fundraiser designed tohonor or memorialize those touched bycancer. When Lapper founder Jill Burnettfirst organized the event, she encouragedparticipants to test their own enduranceand push past their comfort zone just aspeople with cancer do every day. EachLapper participant is this year encouragedto walk as many laps as they can aroundBrotherhood Office Park.
“The decision to move the walk fromFoster Park to our location in the Brother-hood Office Park was a difficult one,”Lapper committee chair Courtney Haslupsaid in a press release. “We love theFoster Park neighborhood, but as ourwalk continues to grow, parking andspace has become an issue. Hosting it atour facility will allow plenty of room forthe event to grow and allows us to show-case our facility and programs.”
All proceeds from the Lapper benefitCancer Services of Northeast Indiana andhelp support programs for people with
cancer in our community.To register, go to
www.lapper2012.kintera.org or downloada registration form at www.cancerser-vices.org. Forms are also available atCancer Services.

BSectionStudents build up hope
for hungry familiesThanks in part to students from
Homestead and Canterbury highschools, a food bank serving north-east Indiana will be able to feedfamilies in Allen County who havefallen on tough times.
Students took part in the thisyear’s CANstruction event,collecting hundreds of cannedgoods and then using them to buildmassive sculptures in the corridorsof Glenbrook Square Mall. Alongwith the efforts of 10 other highschools, students collected 85,068food items — that’s 68,033 poundsof food — that will be donated toCommunity Harvest Food Bankand end up in the homes of north-east Indiana families.
An exhibition at Glenbrook
Square showed off the students’sculptures, which they engineeredusing a combination of math,physics and creativity. Each sculp-ture was judged in a variety ofcategories and voted on by commu-nity members who brought cannedgoods for the cause.
“This year was so awesome,” JaneAvery, Executive Director atCommunity Harvest Food Bank,said. “Even better than the last.These brilliant students amaze me.They’re so busy with their lives andyet they take the time to build thesebeautiful structures to help feedhungry people. They have suchcompassion and drive. I can’t thankthem enough for all of their dedica-tion and hard work.”
Anout-of-this-world
attractionScience on a Sphere is the centerpiece
of museumʼs $1.5-million installation
The Earth’s inexorable beauty twirls gently in a mosaicof whites, blues and greens.
In one view, a global amalgamation of real-time weatherpatterns ebbs and flows. In another, water currents pulseacross great ocean distances. In another, the path of atsunami and the seismic forces that created and succeededit play out.
There are animated depictions of the sun and moon, too,and the moons of other planets and the planets themselves— nearly the entirety of the formidable solar system on asix-foot-diameter globe suspended in air. Turning.Changing. Alive.
The medium is called Science on a Sphere, and theprojection-based marvel of the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration will soon occupy 2,000square feet of renovated space at Fort Wayne’s ScienceCentral. The local $1.5-million installation also will inhabita special place globally; there are only 81 such exhibits inthe world, with the latest opened this month at the Univer-sity of Sao Paulo in Brazil.
Martin Fisher, executive director of Science Central,talks glowingly about the benefits that will come with theFort Wayne installation: educational opportunities inSTEM (science, technology, engineering and mathe-matics); increases in Science Central membership andattendance; and an economic boost in out-of-town visitor

High school studentorganizes Walk for Water
Can you imagine havingto walk miles every day tocollect enough water justto meet your basic needs?To be blessed with cleanwater is a gift taken forgranted every day inAmerica. In other coun-tries the reality is that4,000 children die eachday due to not havingenough water or drinkinginfected water.
Canterbury students inK-12 and Oak FarmMontessori Middle Schoolstudents recently partici-pated in a WaterAid“Walk for Water” on April
16 to raise awarenessabout these issues.
Canterbury High Schoolsenior Olivia Salsbery ispassionate about raisingawareness for WaterAidand making a difference inthe global community.
“The biggest statisticthat absolutely blows mymind every time I thinkabout it is that one ineight people around theworld do not have accessto safe water. This justseems unacceptable. Ican’t even comprehendthat figure,” Salsbery said.“When I found it on the
WaterAid website, I didn’tjust want to raise funds forthe cause, I wanted toraise awareness.”
Along with otherstudent volunteers,Salbery spent the wintermonths meeting withadministrators from bothschools to discuss thefundraising idea andeducate students aboutwater issues. With theirapproval, Salsberyplanned, organized andraised money to plan Walkfor Water.
Students from 12 area high schools created sculptures using donated canned goods to win over an audience at Glenbrook Square Mallduring CANstruction 2012 to benefit Community Harvest of Northeast Indiana. Pictured here is Carroll High School’s sculpture, which wonawards for both “Juror’s favorite” and “Most excess cans used.”

Summer is on its waymy friends. The brightmornings, beautifulsunsets and the opportu-nity to spend more timewith your school-age chil-dren will be here beforewe know it. So, what areyour plans for thissummer? Vacations to thelake? Watching your kidsplay their travel team
games?In addition to spending
time relaxing, summer isalso an opportunity toimprove some of thehealth-related aspects ofdaily living that haveseemed to “slip” over theschool year. For instance,did your family mealsonce portray a brilliantlycolored nutritional experi-ence and are nowdisplaying the monochro-matic golden hue of
processed foods andrefined grains? How’syour exercise routine?
If you see room forimprovement, start withsmall changes. If yourgoal is to improve yourfamily’s diet, begin yourjourney with focusing onwhole foods. Fish-shapedcrackers and hot dogs areconvenient, but whathealth benefit are theyproviding for you or yourkids? As you wean theseitems out of the diet,replace them with veggies,fruits, nuts, seeds and realmeat (out with the hotdogs, bologna, and delislices; in with the rotis-
serie chicken and grassfedburgers). In a matter ofseveral days, your tastebuds will change and sowill your kids’. It justtakes time, support andthe willingness to changeand experience newthings.
If you want to get moremovement in your dailyroutine, summer is theperfect opportunity to getoutside and enjoy thebeauty this season brings.Rise early for familywalks, get out the sprin-kler or the trampoline(with safety net!), or bikethe trails.
Instead of packing your
summer schedule withvacations and endlesshours at the ball diamond,use this time to regroup.Slow down. Enjoysummer. Enjoy yourfamily. Form an alliancewith those in your house-hold and plan out how youwill gradually implementbehaviors that willenhance everyone’shealth. Make simplechanges like eating morevegetables, removing sodafrom your house,replacing packaged fooditems with whole, realfood. Try planting agarden, frequenting thefarmer’s markets, makingmeals together, andplaying outside together.
As you implementthese new behaviors,you’ll find that you feelbetter. You’ll more thanlikely have more energy,sleep better and findyourself with betterconcentration or focus.Summer vacation blessesyou with about eightweeks of free time foryou to practice eating
better, exercising more,or devoting more time tothe health-improvingbehavior of your choice.Cherish this familytogether time and supporteach other in establishinglasting behaviors that willevolve you and the onesyou love into happier,healthier individuals.

My summertime health challengeBy Meghann [email protected]
Meghann WhetstoneCourtesy photo
Springtime is the most dynamic, abundant and creativetime of the year. Nature blossoms and awakens from thedry, cold, dark months. If we have rested properly in thewinter, we begin to feel energized from the extra lightand heat. You may begin to feel the desire for moreactivity and new creative projects.
In the study of Ayurveda — a sister science of yogawhich teaches us how to live a healthy life — spring is allabout the elements of water and earth. Just like childrenenjoy playing in this mixture of earth and water (mud) forits cool and nurturing sensation, the elements of thisseason can make us feel grounded and give us theendurance to follow through with our projects andcreative thoughts — that is, if we know how to work withthe changes happening inside our bodies and in our envi-ronment.
You may also notice an internal melting of mucous andallergies, or lowered immune system. Many of my yogatherapy students also experience “flare ups” in theirchronic pain conditions. This inner moisture and meltingis a reflection of what’s happening outdoors, and anatural instinct for the body to cleanse from a long, darkwinter which may have included a lack of movement oroverindulging at holiday gatherings.
As we feel the urge to begin spring-cleaning our home,our bodies are telling us that it is time to do some springcleaning. Springtime is perfect for breaking habits,removing toxic buildup and excess weight. One of thebest ways we can begin to remove toxins and change ourhabits of processed foods, alcohol, caffeine and sugar isto fast.
The way we fast in Ayurveda is by eating a diet ofcleansing kitchari for five to seven days. Americans maynot think of this hardy, warm, slightly spicy dish asfasting, but this is the perfect way to purify digestion andcleanse the system of toxins. Ayurveda tells us that allhealing begins with a good digestive system and eatingthe mono diet of kitchari can give the digestive tract therest that it needs while providing essential nutrients andamino acids — the building blocks of protein that ourbodies require.
I am just coming to the end of a 15-day cleanse and Iam craving fresh fruits and veggies like I never havebefore rather than my cup of coffee and chocolate that Ialways had stashed near my computer. It has been the
perfect way to reset and change habits.The organs that may become extra taxed at this time of
year are the liver and gallbladder, so eating astringent,bitter and slightly spicy foods can help aid in detoxingthese organs. Foods such as arugula, radish and grapefruitbegin to cleanse these organs and blood.
Other great, daily rituals to add to our spring routineare:Waking up early! I know how some of you feel aboutthis but give it a try and wake up ½ hour before sunsetand you will not feel as sluggish the rest of the day Drinka little warm water with lemon to get things “moving”Get moving yourself, either with a yoga practice or walkoutside. Exercising outdoors is a great thing to do in thespring to release toxins and a steam room or sauna can
give you an extra boost Exfoliate your skin with a drybrush before you shower to remove dead skin cells,improve circulation and stimulate the lymphatic system
If you are feeling “spring fever” have no fear. You areactually more in tune than you think. Travel, “springclean,” cleanse, plant new seeds (whether they are in yourorganic garden or to break old habits). Now is the time.Just remember to take some time to relax and early tobed, because we have to be up before the sun.

“I hope this impacts atleast one person,” shesaid. “I hope it remindspeople how blessed weare, not only to live theway we do (with all ourbasic needs met), but alsoto be able to give to othersand be in a position wherewe can make a differencein our local communityand in the global commu-nity. I’m so excited to seeeveryone come togetherfor this cause.”
On April 16, students,parents and members ofthe community split intotwo groups and beganwalking after 1:30 p.m.While students in K-8walked to raise awareness,Canterbury High Schoolstudents had the opportu-nity to raise money. Theproceeds benefited theWaterAid Organization,which provides safe water,sanitation and hygieneeducation to 17 countriesin Asia, Africa and theSouth Pacific. Proceedsalso benefit the CHS tripto the DominicanRepublic, where studentswill work with the Light-house School thatprovides safe water to theLos Alcarrizos commu-nity.
Q&A with Olivia Sals-bery
Q: What inspired youto become involved withWaterAid?
A: I knew I wanted todo a service event, like awalk, before I evenlearned about WaterAid. Iwas just thinking onenight about a coupledifferent causes I’vealways felt passionateabout, and the idea of safewater, something I know Itake so much for granted,really stood out to me. Iimmediately startedresearching more aboutthe cause and the need. Ibecame so passionateabout this basic need thatso many people do nothave access to. That’s
when I found WaterAid.WaterAid is really whatinspired me to make this acommunity event. Theorganization is so incred-ible! They do so muchgood work, so I knew IHAD to get involved.
Q: When did you beginto formulate the idea forthe walk?
A: That same night thatI found WaterAid, I knewa “Walk for Water” wouldbe special. I suddenlyremembered that in mymiddle school in Ohio wehelped raised money forsome wells in Africa anddid a big Walk for Wells. Itook the same idea andapplied it to the WaterAidOrganization, deciding tocall it a Walk for Waterbecause the organizationdoesn’t just build wells,they provide water inother ways and give somuch more than justaccess to safe water.
Q: What are somestatistics that people needto know about water?
A: The biggest statisticthat absolutely blows mymind every time I thinkabout it is that 1 in 8people around the worlddo not have access to safewater. This just seemsunacceptable. I can’t evencomprehend that figure.When I found it on theWaterAid website I didn’tjust want to raise fundsfor the cause, I wanted toraise awareness. So manypeople probably aren’teven aware of that figure,and I just want morepeople to know about thishuge need for safe water.Every 20 seconds a childdies because they do nothave access to safe water,4,000 children die everysingle day. I can’t graspthat either. WaterAidtargets three areas,including safe water, butnot limited to providing it.It also targets sanitationand hygiene education.Forty percent of the
world’s population doesnot have adequate sanita-tion. This, too, amazesme. I wish I could changethat right now. That’s whyI’m hoping this walk hasa big impact on theCanterbury community toremember this cause andraise awareness for it longafter the walk is over.
Q: What did the eventat the school entail?
A: The event (entailed)raising both awarenessand funds. In the lowerschool and middle schoolI hope teachers will getinvolved and talk more totheir classes about thiscause and how it appliesto them. Hopefully theyounger kids come awayfrom the walk more awareof how blessed they areand how they CAN makea difference. In the highschool so many studentsare already aware of thecause. I think it is easierfor them to grasp theenormity of the need.

spending.Sometimes, he just talks
about the sheer wonder ofthe sphere.
“Imagine walking into aroom and seeing whatlooks like a giant six-footglobe of the Earth magi-cally floating, suspendedin the middle of a room,and suddenly, with the flipof a button, it looks likeMars or the moon orJupiter or any of hundreds
of other data sets,” he said.“You and I will never
have the opportunity to getin a rocket ship, goblasting out into space andlook back toward theplanet Earth. This is ouropportunity. You and I willnever have the opportunityto go blasting out intospace towards the moonand fly around the moonand look down at themoon. This is our opportu-
nity.”The cutting-edge tech-
nology associated withScience on a Sphereinvolves the use of fourvideo projectors, twocomputers and numerousdata sets to display movingimages on the outside ofthe sphere, according toNOAA. Any perceivedmovement of the sphereitself, such as rotation oraxis orientation, is purely
illusion.Aside from the sophisti-
cated data sets, some ofwhich involve satelliteimages, one of the chiefadvantages of Science on aSphere is the three-dimen-sional presentation.
“We believe that whenpeople see data sets andinformation about Earthand its environment on athree-dimensional sphere,it looks quite differently
than it does on a flatscreen,” said WilliamBendel, chief of NOAA’stechnology outreachbranch in Boulder, Colo.“People relate to thesphere and can understandbetter what the naturalevents are and what thehuman impact is on theenvironment.”
Bendel said one of theimpetuses for sharing thesphere publicly has been
to increase people’s aware-ness of NOAA’s researchand science activities.
“But the sub-goal, if youwill, is to provide a way toincrease the educationalability of not only studentsbut the general populace tolearn about what’s goingon in their environments,”he said.
Fisher said what that
WORLD from page B1
See WORLD, page B7
will mean for Fort Wayneaudiences is: teachingbasic concepts and princi-ples of science; showingreal-world applications ofscience; and demonstratingthat, “Science is fun. Thatanybody can do science.That science impacts ourday-to-day lives.”
The instructional portionwill be handled by ScienceCentral experts conducting25- to 30-minute programsfor students. The generalpublic also will be able tovisit the sphere — at noextra cost beyond thenormal Science Centraladmission — to watch aseries of recurring presen-tations.
The foundation forAmerican Electric PowerCo., parent of IndianaMichigan Power, recentlycontributed $500,000 tothe project, the largestcontribution to date. Thatbrings the total amountraised to about $1.325million, roughly $175,000shy of Science Central’sgoal.
Other contributors haveincluded: Parkview Health;Lutheran Health Network;the English BonterMitchell Foundation; theSteel Dynamics Founda-tion; and the JournalGazette Foundation.
Fisher said donations arestill being accepted fromfoundations, companiesand individuals, and heexpects the sphere to beinstalled sometime in2013.
The money raised willbe used for hardware, soft-ware, demolition ofexisting space, architec-tural renderings,construction, flexibleseating and five years’worth of maintenance.
The pending installationcomes at a time whenScience Central is experi-encing unusual growth.Fisher said ScienceCentral’s membership is2,100 — the highest level
since the organization’s1995 start in the formerCity Light & Powerbuilding on North ClintonStreet.
Annual on-site andoutreach visitors, mean-while, rose 12 percent to130,000 in 2011.
Fisher expects bothcounts to grow with theadvent of the sphere, andthat in turn should helpboost out-of-town-visitoreconomic impact beyondthe estimated $1 millionScience Central nowgenerates annually.
And the sphere, Fishersaid, is just the beginningof hoped-for expansion atScience Central in 35,000square feet of mostlystorage space on the westside of the building.
“I’m planning,” he said,“on building out more ofthat space with largerexhibitions — thingsalong the lines of a giant-screen theater, immersiontheater, a planetarium, anobservatory, additionalclassrooms and additionalgalleries.”
But first comes thesphere and all of its appli-cations, including adepiction of the lava-lamp-like creation of thecontinents, a 24-hourglobal snapshot of airtravel and satellite imagesof surface lights. The
latter, Fisher said, can helpdetermine population,wealth and technologicalconcentrations.
“We’re going to be ableto show science in a waythat you’ve never seen itbefore,” he said. “We’regoing to be able to makescience come alive.”

What’s new at the zoo?The gates to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo have offi-
cially reopened for its 48th season. Behind them awaitnew animals, upgraded guest amenities and zoo babies,some of which have become Internet sensations andgenerated a media following.
Seven dingo puppies born at the zoo on Jan. 30 havemade headlines since photos and videos of the tiny crea-tures first hit the web. The puppies were born to Mattieand Naya, who were imported from Australia in 2010 andare one of just 75 pairs of pure dingoes worldwide. Onmost days, the zoo said groups of puppies and theirparents will rotate between their exhibit and a behind-the-scenes pen.
Even though they were born in May or June of lastyear, around seven kangaroo joeys have just emergedfrom their mother kangaroos’ pouches and are nowexploring the Australian Adventure exhibit. The zoo saidthat all of the joeys were sired by their only adult malekangaroo, Mako, who joined the Fort Wayne Children’sZoo last March.
For more than 40 years, a group of sociable and crowd-pleasing rodents greeted zoo-goers from an exhibit justinside the zoo entrance. The prairie dogs, which weredisplaced when the zoo started planning a new entrance,have returned after a four-year hiatus and are now waitingfor guests at a new exhibit.
Though they look like squirrels, the northern tree shrewis closely related to primates. This unusual, new creaturecan be found in the Indonesian Rain Forest at Dr. Diver-sity’s Rain Forest Research Station.
Two male kunekune pigs named Elvis and Pugsleyhave arrived on the zoo’s Indiana Family Farm. Origi-nating in New Zealand, this breed is small, friendly andvery vocal, making them a perfect fit for this hands-onfarm display.
Look for this northern tree shrew in Dr. Diversity’s Rain ForestResearch Station.

In the past, many people stayed at one job, or at least one company, for almost their entire working lives. When they retired, they could typically count on a pension, the value of which was based on their years of service and earnings. But today, workers can expect to hold several different jobs in their lifetime, and to a great extent, pensions have been replaced by 401(k) plans, which place much of the funding responsibility on employees. So, assuming you will change jobs at some point, and you do have a 401(k), what should you do
with it? Here are your basic choices: • Cash out your plan. If you cash out your plan, your company will likely pay you 80% of your account value, withholding the rest for federal taxes. And if you’re younger than age 59½, you may well be slapped with a 10% IRS tax penalty. Even worse, you’ll have lost a key source of your retirement income. Still, if you are leaving your employer involuntarily, and you need the money, cashing out your 401(k) is an option you may need to consider.
• Keep the money in your company’s plan. When you leave a company, your employer may allow you to keep your money in your existing 401(k). You may want to choose this route if you like the investment choices available in your plan. However, you might be caught by surprise if the company decides to change investment options. Further-more, some employers may charge former employees fees to maintain their 401(k) plans. • Move the money into your new employer’s plan. If your new employer has a 401(k)
and allows transfers, you could roll the money from your old plan into the new one. This might be an attractive option if you like the investment options in your new employer’s plan. • Roll the money over to an IRA. You may find several advantages to rolling your 401(k) over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). First, your money will still have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred basis. Second, you can invest your funds in virtually any investment you choose — stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs),
etc.
Third, if you own more than one 401(k) account, you could find it advantageous to consolidate them int o a single IRA, thereby making it easier to allocate and monitor your retirement assets. And fourth, IRAs may give you greater flexibility if you plan to pass money to your children. In fact, if your child inherits your IRA, he or she has the option of stretching withdrawals over the child’s entire lifetime, rather than taking the money as a lump sum. (If you do transfer funds from your old 401(k) to an IRA, be sure to use a “direct rollover” to avoid the possibility of triggering unwanted taxes.) Before making any moves with your 401(k), consult with your tax and financial advisors. By looking closely at your options, and by getting professional guid-ance, you can make the choice that’s right for you.
