The Relay for Life of West Allen County combined two events into one last year for the first time. This year, the relay will take place June 9 at its new location at the SIRVA facility, 5001 U.S. 30W. “We are hoping this year’s centralized location will benefit the relay,” said Roger Hitzfield, the event’s technical chair. The goal of the 24-hour walking event is to raise $32,000 for the American Cancer Society, Hitzfield said, and the 17 teams are nearly there, with close to $20,000 pledged thus far. Some of those funds came from the Sweetwater Soundoff team, made up of 51 employees from Sweetwater Sound. The group’s annual fundraiser, which features local bands and other activities, was held earlier in May and brought in more than $7,000. The 2012 relay theme, Hitzfield said, is “Cooking Up a Cure.” The event will offer a chili cook-off and the group may put together a cookbook to sell at a later date. On-track games and activities will feature kitchen items as prizes to go along with the cooking theme. Hitzfield said events like Relay for Life are extremely important to the fight against cancer. Not only does almost everyone in the world know someone who has battled cancer, but relays across the nation are the number one fundraiser for ACS cancer research.

Hundreds of people will pack the track at Woodlan High School, 17215 Woodburn Road, on Saturday, June 2. They won’t be there for a track meet or a football game. Instead, teams of participants will walk the track for 24 hours straight as part of the Relay for Life of Northeast Allen County. The event, and others across the nation, are the largest source of funds for the American Cancer Society, said relay chair Derrick Richardson. The 2012 relay will feature a sports theme, with teams decorating their campsite with their favorite sports or team. In addition, Richardson said, each hour will be themed with a different sport. There will be a basketball hour, a football hour, a college sports team hour and more. Richardson said he hopes the sports theme will contribute to the overall mood of the relay. “Relay is all about mood and food,” Richardson said. “And there will be plenty of both.” Teams will sell food as part of on-site fundraisers, he said. From roasted corn on the cob to grilled chicken to hot dogs, no one will go hungry. In addition, the relay committee will provide pizza overnight as well as donuts in the morning and water throughout the event. In addition, the carnival atmosphere will return with games and other fun activities for all ages, Richardson said. Richardson said the goal of the 22

Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry paid the students in Laren Molinari’s fourthgrade class at Oak View Elementary School a visit on May 4. The mayor stopped by to deliver cards and letters written by his mother to each of the class’ 24 members. Molinari said the adventure began in January with a letter-writing assignment. “We call our classroom ‘The Jungle,’ and each week there is a king or queen of the pride,” Molinari explained. The person gives a report about their family and the class then writes letters to the person’s grandparents or other relative. “I have letters I sent to my grandmother in third grade and it was special,” Molinari said. “Some grandparents don’t get a lot of mail and these letters really make the grandpar-

The recent mild weather has helped keep the Union Chapel Road/Interstate 69 interchange project on schedule, Indiana Department of Transportation officials said. The project will be nearly complete this fall with the exception of the northbound onramp, which will be finished in summer of 2013. In addition to the weather, the design of the interchange, featuring a roundabout instead of traditional turn lanes, has contributed to the overall speediness of the project. “For a brand new interchange to be built in one construction season is amazing,” said Mary Foster, INDOT media relations director for the Fort Wayne district. Union Chapel Road closed in April and the bridge over I-69 was demolished for two weeks following the closure. The bridge was taken down in segments overnight, Foster said. Motorists driving down the highway can see the earth work now being undertaken on the south off-ramp, in addition to crews working on utility

relocation such as gas lines, water lines and fiber optics. Equipment currently planted in the center median of I-69, Foster said, will facilitate piledriving for the median pier of the new bridge. Construction on the ends of the bridge and prep work for mechanically-stabilized earth walls will begin in the next few weeks, Foster said. The roundabout is expected to maintain traffic flow with minimal delays. “We think people will like the free-flowing traffic, no signals and no stop signs,” Foster said. Foster said the project was necessary due to projected growth in the area, as well as access to the two nearby hospitals. With the two hospitals in the area — Dupont Hospital and the new Parkview Regional Medical Center — as well as the Manchester College School of Pharmacy and further expected growth, it’s anticipated that there will be up to 4,000 additional vehicles in the area, Foster said. Parkview Regional Medical Center contributed $10 million to the $13.9-million project. Foster said the Union

This overall shot from the east side of Union Chapel/I-69 interchange project shows where the old Union Chapel bridge used to be. Two cranes and the pile driver, between the cranes, sit in the center median, ready to begin work on construction of the median pier of the new bridge. Chapel Road detour routing traffic to Dupont Road hasn’t been a problem, at least not one INDOT is aware of. She said no one enjoys detours or construction, but the end result of increased access to I-69 and the hospitals is worth the temporary inconvenience. While roundabouts are gaining acceptance across

the state, Foster said this project will result in the first roundabout interchange on an interstate highway in Indiana. Foster said area residents soon will be plenty familiar with roundabouts, as the county has decided to add additional roundabouts at Diebold Road and Auburn Road sometime in the future.

Extension workshops aim to preserve nature’s bounty The Allen County Extension office will host several “Preserving Nature’s Bounty” workshops with the aim of teaching community members how to preserve fruits and vegetables for future use.

The cost to attend is $2 and will cover the cost of printing materials. Workshops all will take place at the Allen County Extension Office, 4001 Crescent Ave., and are scheduled for: • May 30 at 1 p.m. • June 6 at 7 p.m. • June 19 at 1 p.m. • July 9 at 7 p.m. • Aug. 2 at 1 p.m. • Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. To register for a workshop, contact the extension office at 4816826 or email hadleyv@purdue.edu.

Civics, Constitution among focus of ‘We The People’ By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

Students in Kara Screeton’s fifth-grade class at Huntertown Elementary School recently delved into the U.S. Constitution and other civics lessons as part of the “We The People: The Citizen and the Constitution” program. Screeton said the program’s purpose is to teach civic competence and responsibility. The class began learning about the country’s founders and the Constitution in February. From learning about the Framers to how the Constitution sets up three distinct branches of government, each activity built upon the students’ previous knowledge. “We studied very deeply the Constitution with five basic units,” Screeton said. “Some of the big things the class learned went all the way back to the founding fathers and how they wrote the constitution to protect our basic

rights of life.” Screeton said the program is very advanced for fifth-grade students, going more in-depth than the traditional social studies lesson. By the end of the fifth unit, students were reading Supreme Court cases and digging deep into the issues the framers faced at the Philadelphia convention. “It was so neat to see them learning and getting so involved. ‘We The People’ is such an interactive program,” Screeton said. To cap off the in-class learning, Screeton’s class — and 11 others in the area — took part in simulated Congressional hearings at the University of Saint Francis on May 11. Screeton said the class was divided into groups and given an open-ended question about the Constitution. The groups then developed answers to the questions and rehearsed a six-minute response. The students presented their responses during a 10-

minute hearing in front of a panel of judges made up of local attorneys, teachers, professors and others. The judges quizzed the students on their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and took on the role of members of Congress while listening to the prepared presentations to see how well the students demonstrated their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles while evaluating, taking and defending positions on historical and contemporary issues. Following the prepared statement, the adults and students carried out a question-and-answer segment on related topics. Each unit was scored on its performance and awards were given for the day. Screeton said it was interesting watching her students apply the information they had learned in the classroom. “The hearing is really beneficial for the kids,”

Students from Kara Screeton’s fifth-grade class participate in the “We The People” program at the University of Saint Francis. The civics program pushes students to think about the constitution as a living document. The class was broken into groups and prepared timed response to an open-ended question in front of a panel of local attorneys, teachers, professors and others. From left are Jarod Howell, Bailey Foust, Jadynn Kable, Hanna Johnson and Kaitlin Clibon. Screeton said. “I was very impressed watching them answer the judges’ questions. The judges scored them very well.” Screeton said it was her first year teaching the program, which was implemented in all of the school’s fifth-grade classes. She hopes to continue offering the program to her students. “The students are going to need this stuff for the rest of their lives,” she said.

Free airplane rides for youth ages 8-17 Area youth, ages 8-17, will have a chance to take to the skies when the Experimental Aircraft Association, Chapter 2, hosts its flight rally June 9 beginning at the main hangar at Smith Field Airport. Registration will take place from 9-11 a.m. and flights will begin at 9 a.m., weather permitting. Participants will be flown by volunteer pilots as part of the EAA’s Young Eagles program, which has flown nearly 1.7 million youth since its inception in 1992. In addition to the free flight,

pilots will explain the aircraft and allow each young person to discover how the airplane works and how pilots ensure safety before and during a flight. Other activities may include information booths for the Aviation Explorers, the 99’s — an organization of women pilots — the Civil Air Patrol, Ivy Tech and more. Following the flight, each participant will receive an official Young Eagles certificate, a log book to record their flight and future flights, access to Sporty’s

Complete Flight Training Course for free, an EAA student membership, an Academy of Model Aeronautics membership and many other benefits. Participants’ names also will be recorded in the “World’s Largest Logbook,” on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wisc. More information about EAA and the Young Eagles program can be found online at eaa.org or youngeagles.org. The EAA Chapter 2 website is eaa2.org.

USF hosting Art in the Morning for children The School of Creative Arts at the University of Saint Francis announced it will hold summer art classes for children in grades one through eight with its youth art program, Art in the Morning.

” … people who garden and prepare their own food have a greater chance of trying – and liking – fruits and vegetables.”

Many garden fruits and vegetables are high in vitamins, minerals and fiber and low in fat and calories. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables may help you control your weight and blood pressure, ultimately helping reduce the risk for heart disease, our nation’s number one killer. The American Heart Association recommends eating eight or more fruit and vegetable - American Heart servings every day.

GARDEN from page A8 Keep it colorful Challenge yourself to plant and try fruits and vegetables of different colors. Make a red/green/orange section (tomato, lettuce, carrot) and see if you can consume a rainbow of fruits and vegetables during the gardening season.

ries, cherries, cranberries, raspberries and red apples are great summer treats. The American Heart Association believes in dramatically changing the way America thinks about food and consumes it. And, there are plenty of facts to back us up.

For example, research indicates people who garden and prepare their own food have a greater chance of trying — and liking — fruits and vegetables. For more information on how fruits and vegetables can support a healthy diet visit www.heart.org.

Roast away Try roasting garden vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, onions, carrots, or eggplant. Long exposure to high heat will cause these foods to caramelize, which enhances their natural sweetness and reduces bitterness.

Northrop High School senior Marissa Williams is presented with the Youth Humanitarian of the Year award by the American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana.

Northrop senior named Humanitarian of the Year Northrop High School senior Marissa Williams recently was recognized by the American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana as its Youth Humanitarian of the Year. Williams was nominated by Big Brothers Big Sisters because representatives felt she best demonstrated the qualities of a humanitarian. Williams is a member of the National Honor Society and has been part of numerous community projects including Operation Backyard, where she helped to clean yards throughout the community. The American Red Cross said Williams’ compassion, understanding and friendship are what made her their honored youth member this year.

RELAY from page A1 teams walking is to raise $32,500. He feels the group, which includes a team of more than 90 from Parkview Hospital, could bring in as much as $40,000. “We are definitely way ahead than in the past two years,� he said, noting the location of the relay changed from a local park in Grabill a few years ago due to shelter issues. “It has almost been like starting a brand new relay since the move.� Richardson has been involved with Relay for Life for the past nine years and he’s been active in the planning committee for the last

RV

eight. He initially got involved when asked by a friend, after remembering two people close to his heart — a middle school teacher and a high school mentor — who succumbed to cancer. “I was asked to be involved and I thought this was the least I could do to honor those people who have fought against cancer,� Richardson said. The Relay for Life of Northeast Allen County will feature the traditional ceremonies associated with other relays. A survivors’ lap will celebrate survivors and a caregivers’

lap will honor those who care for cancer patients. A silent auction will take place throughout the day June 2 and a luminaria ceremony will focus on the hope that cancer research will one day find a cure. Richardson encourages the community to come out and enjoy a day at the relay, from food to live entertainment, there will be something for everyone, he said. “Everyone should stop out and enjoy the fun,� he said. “Relay is contagious. Once people come out and see what we do — they’ll be hooked.�

“The money we raise at relay events is very important,� Hitzfield said. “In addition to cancer research, the money stays in the community through several programs.� Programs include those like Roads to Recovery,

which assists cancer patients with rides to and from medical appointments, or Look Good, Feel Better, a program matching patients with volunteer cosmetologists to teach them how to enhance their appearance after cancer. Another program, Reach

to Recovery, Hitzfield said, pairs cancer patients with survivors who act as a mentor. Hitzfield encourages the community to stop out at the relay event. Whether to try the varieties of chili, take part in campsite games or to

walk the track a few times in remembrance of a loved one who battled cancer, there are plenty of activities for all ages. “Relay is a family event,� he said. “There really is something for everyone to do.�

MAYOR from page

A1

mayor as a son?� or “What was it like having 16 children?� One student, Hannah Green, invited the mayor to visit the classroom. For months, Mrs. Henry worked on the 24 letters, writing or typing answers to each of the students’ questions before placing them inside a card, complete with a hand-drawn image on the front. She told one he could be “Mayor Dylan� one day and invited another to the Henry family picnic. Mrs. Henry asked the mayor to deliver the letters on her behalf.

“(Getting letters back) means so much to the kids,� Molinari said. The class thoroughly enjoyed the mayor’s visit. He watched groups of students present infomercials they’d been working on. He was treated to a choreographed classroom welcome. He was introduced to the class’ several pets, including both male and female cockroaches. Before he departed, the mayor took time to sign autographs — directly on the cards sent by his mom. Henry said his mother delighted in receiving the letters from the students, especially since she had

been recovering her health. Henry said he enjoyed every minute of the visit. “This is one of the most creative classes I’ve seen,� Henry said. “To have a young girl ask me to come to her school or class is great. I’m happy to do that.� Molinari said the letter-writing exercise keeps the kids writing all year long, and “it shows the kids that there are people in the world who aren’t 9 or 10 years old.� For more photos and video of the class’ welcome to the mayor, visit fwnews.tv.

Car tips to remember How often should you have your oil changed? Once upon a time, having your oil changed every 3,000 miles was a hard and fast rule. Today? It’s not so black and white. Cars made in the last 10 years or so have improved oil chemistry and engine technology. Simply put, this means you can break the ‘ole 3,000-mile rule and still be just fine. In many cases, newer cars can go about 7,500 miles between oil changes. Many also come equipped with oil change indicator lights to let you know when it’s time for a change. Service technicians at Don Ayres, however, suggest that you stick to a 3,000-mile schedule to maintain optimal engine performance. The good news? If you happen to be running a bit behind, it’s not that big of a deal. Your car will be just fine, and Don Ayres will gladly fit you into the schedule as soon as possible.

Parents, Do Your Kids Have Rock Star Dreams?

Time for a trim down? Does your car need to lose some weight? If you’re carrying around extra baggage, you could be paying more than necessary at the pump. A simple science lesson: Heavier cars consume more fuel, so if you want to burn less, you’ll need to lighten your load. That means it’s a good idea to pare down when you can. Taking a bunch of newspapers to the recycling bin? Go today. Don’t haul them around in your trunk for a week. The same goes for any other heavy load that may add excess weight to your vehicle. Keep this in mind, and you may even be able to go a tad longer between fill-ups. In the course of a year, these small differences can add up. This column is written by Don Ayres Honda blogger, mom of four and Odyssey driver Jennifer Hans.

Blood donations carry special meaning for Memorial Day While Memorial Day may signal the unofficial start of summer, the holiday’s true meaning is inescapable for those wishing to honor members of the United States Armed Forces. Making a blood donation through the local American Red Cross is one way to pay homage to the service men and women who protect and defend our nation. Donating blood before, during or after the long weekend also can help strengthen and maintain America’s blood supply for the summer season. “Your blood donation this time of year works as both a tribute and a testament to our nation’s armed forces,” Sharyn Whitman, CEO for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “By rolling up your sleeve, you’ll honor those who dedicate their lives to others, and you’ll give the gift of life to help others in need.” Day in and day out, hospital patients need blood for

emergency and ongoing care related to serious illness, accident or trauma. Every two seconds, someone in American needs blood. But while that need is constant, the number of people donating blood isn’t. Blood donors may travel, start new routines or simply overlook donating blood—especially during the summer when people spend more time doing recreational or seasonal activities. “We understand many people are simply motivated by the desire to honor others and to help save lives,” said Whitman. “Please give blood this Memorial Day weekend.” Anyone donating blood between through May 31 will be entered into a region-wide monthly drawing for a $500 gasoline gift card. Upcoming blood drives in the area include: May 30 — 3-7 p.m. in the main room of the American Legion, 14133 S.R. 1 in Leo. Call the Legion at 637-3427

to schedule an appointment. May 30 — 3-7 p.m. in the gymnasium of Third Place, 1601 W. Cedar Canyon Road in Huntertown. In addition, traditional whole-blood or double red-cell donations can be given at the Fort Wayne Donor Center, 1212 E. California Road or at Lutheran Hospital Donor Center, 7900 W. Jefferson Blvd., suite 107. To donate blood, individuals must be 17 years of age (or 16 years old with parental permission), meet weight and height requirements of 110 pounds or more, depending on height, and generally be in good health. A Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID should be presented at the donation site.

Kate’s Kart kicking off fifth year with ice cream Event combines fun, fundraising By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

Each June 26, the Layman family — mom Krista, dad Andy and brothers Seth and Grant — eats ice cream to celebrate the birthday of their daughter and sister, Kate, who passed away in 2008 at the age of 18 months due to a genetic heart defect. The Laymans also are the founders of Kate’s Kart, an organization which provides new books to children who are in the hospital. The project started in June of 2008 with the goal of serving one Fort Wayne hospital. Four years later, there are Kate’s Karts full of books in 16 hospitals across the state from Fort Wayne to Muncie to Angola to Portland. In 2009, the Laymans invited the community to eat ice cream with them at Kate’s Kart’s annual ice cream social. The event has grown ever since, serving 800 bowls of the icy treat at the 2011 event. This year’s ice cream social, scheduled for June

The Layman family celebrates with Ronald McDonald at the 2011 Kate’s Kart Ice Cream Social. This year’s event will feature live music, games, a book fair and, of course, free ice cream. 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Grace Point Church of the Nazarene, 8611 Mayhew Road, will kick off the organization’s fifth year with entertainment, games and, of course, free ice cream from Edy’s. “We see this event as a celebration of the success of Kate’s Kart as well as a celebration of Kate,” Krista Layman said. As in years past, Layman said, the carnival rides, inflatables, games and live entertainment still are free. In addition, Madeline’s Toy Box will perform, Indiana

Any board book To donate a new book, visit Kate’s Kart online at kateskart.org for a list of drop-off locations. To make a monetary donation, send checks to Kate’s Kart, 429 E. Dupont Road, #119, Fort Wayne, IN, 46825. Donations also are accepted online at kateskart.org.

Wild will put on a magic show and Ronald McDonald will be on the scene, too. But, Layman said, this year’s social will combine fun and fundraising, as she hopes to raise more than $5,000 through the sale of food, such as hot dogs and popcorn, and an on-site Scholastic book fair. Kate’s Kart will receive 40 percent of the proceeds from the sale, which will be used to purchase more books. Layman said the organization gives away between 1,200 and 1,400 books each month and has racked up a total of 40,000 books handed out over its four-year history. A Fund A Need booth will be set up this year, which will list various items the organization needs — from $5 for five packs of crayons to be passed out with coloring books to $90 for one month’s storage rental — with the hope some donors will be able to give beyond the book fair. “The proceeds from the ice cream social will help us purchase quality, entertaining books that are able to provide a little bit of a diversion to kids in the hospital,” Layman said.

Surack earns honorary degree Chuck Surack, owner and founder of nationally renowned music business Sweetwater Sound, received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Saint Francis during the university’s commencement exercises on May 5. Surack is a long-time friend of the university. His support launched its music technology degree in 2007, providing music engineers for the development of music technology labs and facilities, as well as equipment to start the program. Music technology majors have access to Sweetwater Sound’s state-of-the-art headquarters, in addition to in-house seminars and educational events. He also provides internships through which the university’s music technology majors gain professional experience and be considered for employment upon graduation. In addition, Surack and his wife, Lisa, created the Sweetwater/Chuck and Lisa Surack Endowed Scholarship for Music Technology to assist students with financial aid. Surack is involved heavily with charities and community service, and serves on numerous local boards and committees, as well as the board of the National Association of Music Merchants. In 2008, he received the prestigious BCA Ten Award for corporate support of the arts from the Business Committee for the Arts, and in 2009 Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels awarded him the Governor’s Arts Award. The company is highly philanthropic, and has

contributed to more than 300 arts, cultural and social service organizations. “We are pleased to award the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters to Chuck Surack,” said University of Saint Francis President M. Elise Kriss. “His leadership, generosity and guidance, not only to the university, but to so many other people and organizations, exemplify the qualities associated with this high honor.” Surack said the honor was unexpected, especially for someone who never attended college. He, instead, focused on his music career, which turned out to be very successful. Although he wouldn’t necessarily recommend the same path to others, Surack said he is honored to receive the degree. “Obviously I am very honored. It was totally

A temporary home By VALERIE CAVIGLIA pr@timespubs.com

Adelaide, a fragile but sweet feline at the Allen County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has been lovingly cared for by staff and volunteers since her owner was forced to surrender her in December. The shelter has tried to make the cat’s temporary home a comfortable, happy place. “Adel’s” tiny, 1-year-old heart has a condition that will likely end her life by the age of 3. Cardiomyopathy makes her heart beat rapidly when she feels stress, which can make it difficult for Adel to breathe. Although medication is available, there is no cure for her condition. But, the ACSPCA feels strongly there is a perfect home for Adel in Fort Wayne

— and staff members are doing all they can to find just the right place for her. This is what they do. Special needs animals or those facing euthanasia are evaluated by the ACSPCA to ensure they are a good fit for the program. Then the ACSPCA takes them in, working diligently to find the animal its forever home while keeping the facility clean, organized and most of all, a safe haven for animals who may otherwise be put down. The care they provide isn’t only for animals. Special considerations have been made for owners forced to give up their beloved pets. Sofia Rodriguez, executive director of the ACSPCA, said when she first started in 2010, a woman visited the shelter, distraught she had to give up her dog. Her family’s economic and living situations had changed, and a new landlord had rescinded permission to keep pets at their home. “I will never forget her,” Rodriguez said. “Her landlord originally said that she could have (a dog) and then two weeks later told her she couldn’t. She was just at her wits end. I thought, ‘If someone is trying to do the right thing, I want them to have as much privacy as possible.’ She was the reason I went to Habitat for Humanity and bought these cubicles.” Now, the cubicles act as an enclosed “intake area,” providing families with more privacy during a difficult time. Staff members have thought of everything, really — things not often seen at other shelters — like a generous backyard space for volunteers to play with the dogs, getting them some exercise and interactivity. “This is the best part of the shelter,” Rodriguez said, looking over the backyard area. “I’ve visited shelters all over the country and no one has this kind of space. We are really lucky in this way.” The ACSPCA even had the specific needs of cats in mind when they designed “colony rooms” in the facility. Some

With the exception of cages used for sick felines or at Petsmart stores where the shelter has satellite adoption centers, cats are free to interact with other cats matching their temperament and age. Despite coming up with creative ways to save money, the ACSPCA is not unlike other shelter operations which rely on their communities to continue running. Luckily, there are a surprising number of ways to help, mainly just by donating unwanted stuff: The shelter makes money by selling used, donated school books on Ebay. They take aluminum cans and trade them at See HOME, page A23

Mariska Essex, seen here holding Hairy, one of the shelter’s newest additions, is just one of many volunteers who visit the shelter each week, keeping its animal company and improving their well being.

HOME from page A22 a local recycling facility for cash. Empty paper boxes, likely piled up in every Fort Wayne office, can be reused by the shelter — the lids as disposable kitty litter trays and the boxes as mini “cat houses,” created by turning the box over and cutting out a “door” for cats to enter. Old electronics and cell phones can be turned into the shelter to trade for cash. Cleaning and office supplies, often part of the shelter’s “wish list” of needed items, can be donated and used to maintain their facilities. But perhaps the most important donations come in the form of food, specifically Purina One special blend for cats and either a lamb-and-rice or chicken-and-rice blend for dogs. In just one month, the shelter goes through at least 720 pounds of food. When the shelter faces running out of pet food within a week’s time, Rodriguez will put out a plea to the community, asking for pet

food donations. Beyond that, the shelter relies on monetary donations from the public or grant money awarded to the ACSPCA. “The problem is that none of those are predictable, so we’re constantly in need of making sure we are filling that funnel,” Rodriguez said, “and making new relationships or coming up with new events to increase awareness. Getting our message out is so important so people start to think of us and think ‘Oh, we can give locally.’” For more information on helping the ACSPCA with a donation or to volunteer at the shelter, go to www.acspca.org, or call 744-0454. Beginning in June, look for the ACSPCA’s “Featured Pet” of the month, as well as their “wish list” of needed items, in the Times newspapers and online at FWDaily News.com.
