I had just done the MM 1K two years earlier and was feeling like it was time to do another Sad- dle Sore 1000. I contacted Howard Entman to get the info on doing this ride. The following is a brief note of the ride and its history. Each year the lives of many fellow motorcy- cle riders and loved ones are cut short. In their memory, a group of the World’s Toughest Rid- ers will participate in a Saddle Sore 1000 on one of three weekends, September 22-23, September 29-30, or October 6-7. We hope to have rider’s participation in all 50 states, in all of the Canadian provinces, and in several countries around the world. These dates were selected because the weather across the world is generally good—not to hot and not to cold. The IBA (Iron Butt Association will issue a special certificate for this event. To special- ly honor our fallen brethren, we’re asking each of you to find one of your motor- cycle friends who is not and IBA member to ride the Saddle Sore with you. This will give you the opportunity to mentor the ‘newbie’ in the skill of route planning, navigation, hydration, and ATGATT before and during the ride.

  • Downtown Blueprint Updates Go To
    In symbol and substance, Downtown says much about who and what we are as a community. It marks the place of our beginning. It defines our image to the world. It is the showcase for our creative spirit, our heritage and our pride of place. It is where we gather to celebrate, to affirm our beliefs and to realize our greater civic mission. That shared importance, that claim of communal identity, endows each of us with a stake in its future. Downtown is ours to create, ours to shape. As times have changed, so has the role of downtown. From Kekionga's trading village to its days as a territorial fortress, from transportation hub to the seat of government, from commercial nexus to the hothouse for art and culture, each era has invented and invigorated Downtown Fort Wayne with a new focus and energy. The symbolic importance of Downtown will always remain. But with each new age, Downtown must find anew its substantive purpose. In 2002, that charge is both our challenge and our opportunity. The Vision Downtown Fort Wayne is... Everybody's History Everybody's Neighborhood Everybody's Playground Everybody's Opportunity! Living. Working. Enjoying. Vibrant downtowns work successfully within each of these realms. They are significant contributors to the identity, livability and competitiveness of their greater communities. And they are magnets for activity. Regardless of size, the impact of a healthy downtown is enormous. The goal of the Blueprint is to direct and then stimulate in action a Downtown Fort Wayne with an exciting and undeniable energy. The vision statement provides the thematic centerpiece for capturing and concentrating our collective efforts.

Director Mary Troy, M.F.A. Steve Schreiner, Ph.D. E.N. Oestreicher—Page !2 ABSTRACT: The following stories, “Cellar Doors,” “The Truth About Rockford,” and “Disreputable Uncles” are three stories from a collection of stories about four generations of women and their families, who face — and sometimes conquer — challenges that are all too common in our lives. They include the misery of being a sibling, and the terrifying power and overwhelming helplessness of being a parent, and the desperation that can latch on to us at any time in our lives. These stories ARE about the characters’ individual struggles, but they are also about unconscious lineage and how family traditions and community mores affect our unconscious responses (regardless of our ages) — many of which are a result our parents’ decisions and the mistakes that they have made.
