Despite recent numbersthat show Allen Countyhome sales were downslightly in 2011, St. JoeTownship saw the second-highest total of home salesoverall.
Based on numbersreleased by the UpstateAlliance of Realtors, AllenCounty accounted for 68percent of total home
sales in the region. In2011, the number of closed home sales in AllenCounty totaled 3,986 outof a total 5,889 for theentire region, whichincludes Adams, Allen,DeKalb, Huntington,Noble, Wells and Whitleycounties.
St. Joe Township saw886 home sales close in2011, down slightly by 0.8percent from 2010.However, the area’sDecember 2011 saleswere up 33 percentcompared to the same
month one year prior. St.Joe came in just behind
Wayne and Pleasant town-ships (1,017) and before
Aboite and Lafayettetownships (625) in closedhome sales last year.
Alan Moore, principalbroker and owner of River
City Realty in FortWayne, attributes the largenumber of home sales in
Wayne Township to popu-lation and affordable
pricing, and predicts thearea will again see thehighest number of sales in
2012.“Based on a pure
number of transactions,Wayne Township will leadagain, but I think this willbe a year of solid upswingfor the whole county,”Moore said. “The inven-tory is ticking down a bitwith sales slightly up, sowe are starting to seemore quality listingsthroughout the county.You always have greathomes in town, especially
West Central and South-wood Park, but thesouthwest and northwestareas never seem to stalland will account for alarge percentage of sales.”
Overall, new homeprices have remainedstable: the average valueof new homes permitted inAllen County in 2011 was$185,746, compared with$184,801 in 2010 and$178,745 in 2009.
In St. Joe Township, themedian sales pricedropped 3.4 percent from$99,900 to $96,500. In

In it for the long haulBerkshireʼs backing has allowed MedPro to plan for future growth
Medical Protective Co.’s white-bricked,115,000-square-foot headquarters andsprawling 40-acre campus along Reed Roadin Fort Wayne exude a kind of nobility that
suggests corporate success.The impression is not without merit.Despite a rapidly changing landscape in
the delivery of health care and persistentefforts at the state and federal levels to enacttort reforms that include damage caps, the112-year-old national medical malpracticeinsurer is very quietly expanding its financialand geographical footprint.
“MedPro,” said President and CEOTimothy Kenesey said, “has been andalways will be the nation’s leading protectorof the assets and reputations of doctors.
“And while MedPro doesn’t have all theanswers as to how health care delivery willultimately evolve, we have developed theadditional capabilities necessary to be theleading protector of the assets and reputa-
tions of all health care providers along thecontinuum of care.”
Numbers tell the story. In 2000, MedProhad 60,000 policyholders, $267 million inpremiums, $800 million available for invest-ment and $1.7 billion in assets. At the close
of 2011, it had more than 100,000 policy-holders, $820 million in premiums, $3.4
billion available for investment, and $5billion in assets.It is arguably the largest medical liability
insurer in the U.S. — and certainly theoldest.

It was New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31, 1998. Deanna Linnand Mike Hathaway stood inside the Denver InternationalAirport looking at each other face-to-face for the first
time in 30 years — she with a heart full of hope and hewith an apology he hoped she would accept. So verymuch had happened during their years apart.
Their story begins where they both grew up: Celina,Ohio. Then, she was Deanna Linn, an athletic girl wholived at the lake with a tight-knit family that included abrother and sister. Mike lived with his parents and twoyounger brothers and was a year ahead of Deanna inschool.
After graduation, both Mike and Deanna started jobs intheir hometown. He was a gas station attendant and shestarted a career in insurance at Celina Insurance Group.
“She’d pull into that gas station with her girlfriends andshe was a cute little thing,” Mike said. “She looked prettyattractive to me. When I was told by other friends thatshe’d like to go out on a date, boy I jumped at that.”
The two dated steadily for a year. They ran aroundtown with their close friends, Bruce and Janet, a couplewho would become an important part of their love story.They remembered it as a wonderful, exciting time in theirlives.
Then, like so many others were during that time, Bruceand Mike were drafted into the Army and sent to trainingcamp in Fort Gordon, Ga.
Eventually, Mike was shipped overseas to Camp Evans,a large base camp in South Vietnam. Mike was part of the1st Signal Brigade of the 63rd Signal Battalion, whichprovided signal and communications for the 101stAirborne in and around the base camp area. It was anexperience that would change Mike forever.
Meanwhile, Deanna and Janet carried on with theirlives in Celina.
“Janet and I had each other. I can’t say I was evertempted to date anybody. I guess I didn’t even think thatthere was another option,” Deanna remembered. “I was in
love with this man and I was going to wait for him. Thehard part was not knowing if he was going to comeback.”
Deanna’s voice cracked as she recanted the memory. “Ididn’t realize what he was going through over there. Wegrew up in little small-town America, so you don’t realizewhat war is all about and living in those conditions. But,he always made his letters positive.”
When he did return a year later, Deanna could tellsomething was just … different.
“It wasn’t until after he was home for about a month Icould tell something was different. Not with our relation-ship, but something with him,” she said.
“When I came back in 1970, everybody expected amarriage and we were considering a marriage, but Ididn’t know what I was ready for. I was very confused,”Mike said. “That experience overseas was pretty trau-matic for me as well as many others. So, I didn’t knowwhat I really wanted and I walked away from her. Iwalked away from my lady.”
Mike said he drifted for a long time, not knowing whathe wanted. He later started college, where he met and
married another woman. They were married for manyyears and raised two children together — Aaron andAndy.
It was one of the reasons Deanna chose to leave Celinaand move to Denver, Co. where she lived for 20 years. “Itwas hard to see him around town all the time, and he was
married and I thought he was happy,” Deanna said. Shedated through the years, and even had a long-term rela-tionship with a man, but it never felt quite right. “I never
found the right person, I guess. I had to wait for him.”After Mike’s marriage ended in 1990, he returned
home to Celina to visit family - he had moved away forwork years earlier. It must have been a twist of fate thatwalked him right into Deanna, who had decided to visitthat very same weekend. He was visibly shaken at the
sight of her and that chance encounter kept her in theback of his mind.

Ivy Tech CommunityCollege-Northeast has anew home for its autobody repair classes thatwill more than double the
program’s trainingcapacity.
The Ivy Tech Founda-tion has purchased a10,000-square-footindustrial building at 7717Opportunity Drive in Fort
Wayne that it will leaseback to the college for use
as an auto body repair andrefinishing center.
Ivy Tech had beenconducting the classes inspace it leased at
Glenbrook Hyundai sinceit began the program
about nine years ago, butthat became inadequate tohandle the growingprogram’s needs, saidJohn Walter, dean of theSchool of Technology.
The collision repairprogram, offered as aspecialty within the autotechnology program, hadabout 150 students. Thenew building will allowIvy Tech to handle anadditional 255, said BobHuffman, automotivetechnology programchairman.
The new building willbe put into use in May forsummer students, and befully functional in time forfall classes.
It is no coincidence theuniversity chose abuilding close to its newaviation technologyfacility at Smith Field,
Walter said.Both buildings will have
classrooms the otherprogram may use if needed, and the aviationstudents also will haveaccess to the paint boothin the auto body repairbuilding.
The aviation building isdue to be completed thissummer.

When Deanna laterended her long-term rela-tionship, word got back tofriends in Celina. Bruceand Janet, who had longbeen married by that time,slipped Mike his firstlove’s telephone numberand address.
“I didn’t quite have thecourage to call her so I
thought I would write hera letter,” Mike said. And itdidn’t take long to hearback. “Her letter wasfilled with words of loveand kindness, even afterall we had been through.We still had love for eachother after 30 years of being apart.”
“I just knew that maybelater in life he would findout he made a mistake andI guess he had, and that’swhen I got the letter andhe told me so,” Deanna
said.That was in October
1998. In the weeks thatfollowed, the two spokeon the phone almost everynight, learning about eachother and sharing theevents that had takenplace during their yearsapart. Then came NewYear’s Eve.
“When we met at theairport (in Denver) thevery first time and he toldme he came to apologizeto me, that really touchedmy heart,” Deanna said.“That was probably 30years too late … if that
just would have happeneda long time ago.”
“That was veryemotional, I think for bothof us at that time,” Mikesaid.
Deanna recalled what itwas like to be in each
other’s presence, a mix of excitement, nerves andstrangely a level of comfort that they weren’texpecting.
“I just knew that I lovedhim still. I just felt it. Ican remember walkingaway and telling him Iwas going to get the car,”Deanna said, “When I
turned around and lookedback at him, he was juststanding there staring atme and smiling.
“When we were in thecar, he said ‘Do you knowyou put your hand on myleg just like you used to?’We each were remem-bering little things thatwere important to us whenwe were dating. I justknew it was going to bemore than friendship. I
just knew.”It took just 10 months
from the time Mike wrotethat letter for the two tosay their vows in theCelina First Church of God — the very samechurch they were to bemarried three decadesearlier.
“It was emotional. Wehad so many old friendsthat came to the wedding.
It was just a very, veryspecial day. It went too
fast,” Deanna said.Today, Deanna and
Mike live in Fort Waynewith their two cats. Theironly complaint these daysis they’d like to see theirkids more often, alongwith a grandson, Colton,who has brought much joyto their lives.
And to those who may

2011, sellers in the areareceived 95.4 percent of their original list price atclosing.
While 2012 will likelybe a favorable year forbuyers, there is somepositive news for sellers,Moore said.
“The market isdefinitely still on the
buyer’s side, but sellersare holding their ground.Based on statistics fromUpstar, the percentage of original list price forhomes sold in 2011 was94 percent — pretty staticfrom 94.2 percent in2010,” he said.
Still, many who wouldlike to sell an existinghome this year could keepwith a nationwide trend of holding off and listinghomes for rent rather thanfight the current market.
“Quite a few
homeowners who boughtbefore the market
retracted either cannot ordo not want to sell theirhome in the currentmarket,” Moore said.“Renting that property canbe a viable option formany. River City Realtyhas had an increase inrequests for propertymanagement services andinquiries, and we expect
that to continue this year.”Home building activity
in and around AllenCounty continued at aboutthe same pace in 2011 asin both 2009 and 2010.An analysis by the HomeBuilders Association of Fort Wayne found itsmembers accounted for atotal of 872 new homepermits last year,compared with 916 in2010 and 894 in 2009.The year just endedincluded 680 permits inAllen County.
As has been the norm,Perry and Aboite
townships were thebusiest in Allen Countyfor new home builders in2011. The numbers weredown from 2010, andPerry is seeing a shortageof lots available asHuntertown worksthrough plans to expandits sewer capacity bybuilding its own treatment
plant.St. Joe and Washington
townships also accountedfor a big chunk of permitactivity in both years.
According to TonyReincke of Granite RidgeBuilders by Tony Reincke,developers have held back on creating newsubdivisions in AllenCounty in the past fewyears, and new shortagesmay develop as those lotsare taken.
Move-up buyers havebecome more realistic
about the prices they canget for their existinghomes, Reincke added. Inparticular, he is seeingincreased interest frombaby boomers who wantto move into one-levelranch homes and villasthat will be easier tohandle as they age, andalso from young peopleready to buy a home asthey start or expand theirfamilies.
Based simply on thenumbers, there is a fair
chance this year thosebaby boomers and youngpeople will purchase froma selection of existingrather than new homes.
“Existing home salesgreatly outnumber newhome sales. There is sucha great inventory of existing homes and withthe current economic
times, there are fewerbuilders and developers,”Moore said. He added thataccording to the Upstarmultiple listing service, in2011 there were 4,025existing home sales,compared to just 224 newhome sales. “Granted,many of the new homessold don’t make it to theMLS,” Moore said.
But the countycontinues to offer a variedmarket fit for anyone,Moore said, from Victo-rian homes built at the
turn of the century tosprawling, contemporarysuburban ranches.
“It is truly a diversearea. That will alwaysmake this an attractiveplace to live. State andcounty home sales wereboth slightly up over 2010and that is promising.Overall, we see goodthings coming for 2012.”

Lori Verderane will appear March 1-3 at theFort Wayne Home & Garden Show. In additionto being an appraiser, Verderane is also a part-time standup comedian. Shehas been seen on LifetimeTelevision, ComedyCentral’s “The Daily Showwith Jon Stewart” andNBC’s “The Tonight Show.”She presents more than 100events each year and alsoconducts in-home appraisalvisits.
“Free antique appraisals willbe available as part of Dr.Lori’s shows each day,” a pressstatement said. “Arrive early,since appraisals are limited.”
Verderane holds a Ph.D. in arthistory and she also has columns inmore than 85 publications aboutantiques, travel and home and gardendesign. The writer of 30 books, sheevaluates approximately 20,000 itemsper year.
In addition to bringing the antique itemsto the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

In a press statement, Verderane said herappraisals are honest.
“You’ll laugh out loud while learning aboutyour antiques, your friends and even yourspouse at my event! I’m not an antique dealer
or affiliated with any auction house and myevaluations are straightforward and honest.
I will not hesitate to tell you, your friendor your spouse that their stuff is junk.”
She said she will “break somehearts and make some million-
aires.”Verderane’s antiqueappraisal shows will also
discuss myths of thebusiness.
“Everyone is invitedto attend,” she wrote in
the press statement,“with or without anantique, and I’ll eventell you how some
appraisers are not telling

Indiana Tech PresidentArthur Snyder said theschool considered 10locations, which wereeventually narrowed downto three possible sites. Thenew law school will sitnext to Indiana Tech’sWarrior Athletic Center, atthe corner of MaumeeAvenue and ComparetStreet.
“Having the law schoolon the campus willprovide many moreopportunities for the lawschool community tointeract with the rest of campus and vice versa,”Peter Alexander, foundingdean of the law school,said in a statement. “The
location also is close todowntown, which willallow us to foster closeworking relationshipsbeween law school facultyand students and the localbench and bar.”
The law school wasdesigned by
SchenkelShultz Architec-ture in Fort Wayne andSHW Group. The generalcontractor is MichaelKinder and Sons.
The new facility willcontain a courtroom, alaw library, classrooms,faculty offices and a cafe.Indiana Tech officials saidthe building’s design willcomplement the lawschool’s emphasis onexperiential learning. Inits first year, the lawschool will accept 100students.
To further students’practical education, thelaw school will offer amediation clinic, in whichlaw school students will
work to resolve disputesamong undergraduates,and an estate planningclinic, in which lawschool students will draftsimple wills and powersof attorney for IndianaTech employees.
“These activities will
give our law students vitalpractical opportunities toapply what they learnwhile building relation-ships with others in theuniversity,” Alexandersaid.

Writing down goals can help
with planning, success
A new year, a new you.By now, you are eitherwell on your way toreaching your weight loss
goal or, gulp, you havefallen off the bandwagonlike the great majority of Americans. For those of you who have made it thisfar and have not given up,bravo. For those of youwho have taken a terribletumble, let us re-evaluatesomething — youroriginal goal.
A very commonmistake is to state yourgoal as an outcome goal.
For example, “lose 30pounds” or “fit into myold jeans.” The problemwith this is that there is noplan of action and it isthat lack of a plan thatsets you up for failure.
You have no idea whereto begin, so you gogung-ho for the first week or two, before giving up,because you are toobanged up to continueworking out or you havedeprived yourself from allthings tasty.
To correct this, makeprocess goals. Forexample, “workout 2 daysper week” or “have 3servings of vegetables
daily.” This gives you aplan. You now know
where to start.Another common
mistake is to be toovague. For example,“workout more” or “eatbetter.” The problem withthis is that there is no way
of knowing whether or notyou actually achievedyour goal. The words“more” and “better” needto be defined before youcan say with certaintywhether or not you didthese things. “Workoutmore” is a start. “Workout2 days per week” is better.But “workout Tuesdaysand Thursdays, afterwork” is best. Stated inthis way, the guesswork isremoved and you knowexactly how you will startto “workout more.”Instead of “eat better,” youcould say “include a pieceof fruit at everybreakfast.” You either didit or did not.
Finally, do yourself afavor and start small.After you set a goal, ask yourself one question:“On a scale of one-10,how certain am I that Ican meet this goal?” If you answer with anythingless than a nine, make iteasier! If your goal is toeat one serving of vegeta-bles at lunch and dinnerbut you rate your certainty
an eight, simplify it. Dropit down to just one serving
of vegetables at dinner.Get the goal “snowball”rolling. Conquering thefirst goal paves the pathfor your next to besuccessful.
Now get to writing!Whatever your goal is,write it down and review
it every day. Stick it onyour mirror, the fridge, orthe dashboard of your car.Never let yourself losesight of where you areheaded.

& Financial Services, LLC.
A portion of the company’s financial growth will resultfrom the acquisition of New Jersey-based Princeton Insur-ance Co. MedPro, which has about 275 employees in FortWayne, will see its overall national employment rise by morethan 100 to about 550 with the Princeton purchase, and itspremiums will grow by $100 million.
But the acquisition — in fact much of MedPro’s recentgrowth — might not have been possible had it not been forBerkshire Hathaway Inc.’s $825-million purchase of MedProin 2005 from General Electric Co. Berkshire ChairmanWarren Buffet’s immense and prosperous holding company— Class A stock trades at well above $100,000 a share —has boosted MedPro’s financial ratings and ability to expand.
Among MedPro’s new customers are nurse practitioners,physician assistants, optometrists, podiatrists, chiropractors,
surgery centers, cancer treatment centers, dialysis centers,medical labs and hospitals.
As the baby boomer population ages and health carereform presents the likelihood of giving more people accessto health care, Kenesey said, the strain on the health caresystem will continue to grow and bring a wider swath of risk-management needs.
“MedPro,” he said, “is well-suited to deal with thesechanges and uncertainties under pretty much any scenariothat gets thrown at us. We don’t think the market for alliedhealth (insurance) is massive, but it’s just an example of howwe’re adapting to meeting the needs. It’s a very complex andevolving thing.”
Under any circumstance, though, he said people should notlook to medical liability as a silver bullet for cutting health
care costs. What will make a more significant difference ispromoting consumerism, in which people manage their ownhealth care services, and wellness programs. MedPro, hesaid, has addressed both internally, including expanding itsfitness center, putting in a walking trail around thecompany’s campus and offering rebates for health screen-ings.
Kenesey, a one-time lawyer, wants people to know thatMedPro is a great place to work and that even in a chal-lenging economy, the company is hiring.
“MedPro is a low-key kind of best-kept secret in FortWayne, and we don’t intend to raise our profile in thecommunity significantly,” he said. “We plan to continuetaking care of our health care providers and being good —but quiet — corporate citizens the way we always have.”

declared “American HeartMonth,” is designed tohelp spread the wordabout preventing heartdisease.
For Lori Snyder, it isan important month andan important issue. Shelost her father four yearsago, to a massive heartattack and decided to turn
her grief into her life’spassion by gettinghealthy and helpingothers get healthy.
“My dad’s passing wasreally unexpected,” shesaid. “I was so deep ingrief, I wondered if Iwould ever feel happinessagain.”
As a current health andfitness consultant, Snydernow helps others steeraway from heart disease.
“I decided to reallyconcentrate on health andnutrition and heart
health,” she said. “Idecided to be conscien-tious about my eating andcontinue with my fitnessprograms.”
Her interest was piquedeven further when shesaw fitness infomercials,such as the popular P90X
program. P90X is a homeexercise system that wasdesigned by fitnesscelebrity trainer, TonyHorton and Beachbody,an in-home fitness andweight loss solutionscompany.
“I began a diligentfitness and nutritionalprogram like neverbefore. Since losing mydad, I had a new focusand a new purpose formaintaining my heart
health as never before,”she said.
Snyder said that aftershe intensified herphysical fitness andhabits, other people shewas around started askingwhat she was doing.
“I began a personalquest to take care of myself,” she said, “whichthen kind of snowballedand my husband startedtaking notice andchanging.” Others took note as well, even thepeople who worked in heroffice.
She then teamed upwith the Beachbody
Challenge, which offerscoaching and support.Snyder is an IndependentTeam Beachbody Coach.
“I connect people withfitness and nutrition. Wework with people throughFacebook,” Snyder said.The program has closedFacebook groups that areused for accountability,fact-sharing andinformation about whatworks for fitness goals.
“We match people with
the correct fitnessprogram,” she said.
“I am able to helpothers reach personalfitness and nutritionalgoals, while simultane-ously helping themstrengthen their hearts.”
Participants take beforephotographs, work ontheir fitness and weightloss goals for 90 days andthen take after pictures.They have the possibilityof winning cash prizes. Anew challenge groupstarts the first Monday of every month, she said.
While there are manyfactors to heart disease
and prevention, Snydersaid she thinks abouthelping people keep theirhearts healthy.
“Of course I think about my dad,” she said.“And people in generalkeeping their heartshealthy. The best way todo that is through fitnessand nutrition.”
The American HeartAssociation lists a fewtips for preventing a heartattack. Avoiding smoking,
treating high blood pres-sure, eating foods low insaturated and trans fat,being physically activeand controlling bloodsugar are just a few stepsto avoiding a coronaryattack.
Genetics also plays arole in heart disease.
“Through heredity, Ihave family history onboth sides for heartdisease and cardiacarrest. After my dadpassed, I did go get myheart scanned at ParkviewHealth,” Snyder said.
There are a few majorrisk factors that can’t bechanged and result in agreater chance of devel-oping coronary arterydisease. Being male,increasing in age andhaving a family history of heart disease are just afew risk factors thatcannot be changed.
However, it is just asimportant to focus on therisk factors that can bechanged.
For Snyder, focusingon the factors that she
could change — likenutrition and fitness —led her down a path thathas changed her outlook.
“Because I felt such animprovement in mybody,” she said, “Ibecame interested inbecoming a [fitness]instructor.”
She is certified to teachTurboKick classes, whichis a combination of intense cardio kickboxingand dance. She also helpsothers create healthylifestyles through herbusiness, Lori Snyder
Fitness.She said “if people are
interested in making achange to improve theirhealth, fitness and nutri-tion,” she is glad to help.
“I’m able to feelhappiness again, buthelping people — oneheart at a time!” Snydersaid.
