Love me some Peanut Butter

Fort Wayne creative minds at work, wins a college scholarships. News-Sentinel reports,

Alexandra Yoder, 12, won a $25,000 college scholarship after taking first place in the “Jif Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest.”


Let children be children and look what they can do! It has nothing to do with the school but their own creative juices.

The sixth-grader’s creamy concoction, self-titled Peanut Butter Rolls “Sushi Style,” bested nine other finalists in judging Thursday at the Culinary Loft in New York City’s SoHo area. Yoder, a sixth-grader at St. Vincent de Paul School in Fort Wayne, wrapped Jif peanut butter, granola, strawberries, bananas and strawberry cream cheese inside a crepe.

5 1/2 year old child reads Fort Wayne Newspaper


No surprise there. We are considered the dumbest city. But to read that the millionaire, Wizard Baseball co-owner's daughter points out baseball and orangutan, is funny.

Yep, all the fun things in Atlanta and she connect Fort Wayne to seeing minor league baseball and orangutan. If she is lucky she might be able to get to talk to students here. Because, they will probably ask her in reference to the baseballandorgangutan, what's that? Our students are too busy having sex in school, dealing drugs and trying to survive. Read more about downtown development of baseball being the catalyst to growth.

Fort Wayne downtown is suffering raced white flight. Their children need jobs, but can't compete when they go out into the big world. Indiana is ranked 48 in the 50th state in education. Their children are not getting into Harvard, Mr. Freier, they are going to IPFW. Diversity is not a part of IPFW. Harvard at least has some diversity. Heck some of these students confuse an orangutan with African-Americans. So Mr. Freier do you really want to bring your daughter from the diverse Atlanta to white knuckle Fort Wayne? Just thinking outloud.
