Townie is now "retired" although he may be seen around the shop changing tires part time. The shop is now being managed by Kurt Gentis from Bluffton and has the backing of Paul Zurcher (you may have heard of him over 60 years in the tire business) who established the Best One group of independent tire dealers for buying power, marketing and a shared philosophy of excellent customer service. The name says it all – BEST ONE. You should really check them out Did you know that Townsend Tire is now Best One Tire and Service of Decatur.

Some of the degrees listed offered at Ivy Tech are not available at the Fort Wayne campus. Futhermore, it is becoming nearly impossible to get into a Nursing program without a wait of a year or two. The top 3 Colleges or Universities, all have waiting lists. Many technical schools have popped up recently, but do not have accredidation into the North Central College and University accrediting agency. This means credits will not transfer to another college or university. Also, potential employers will not look at degrees from technical schools as being equal to colleges or universities. Yes, the demand for nurses will be there, once the babyboomers retire. Interestingly, nursing schools in the area are pumping out atleast 150 new grads every Spring. Will Fort Wayne be saturated with new grads? These are just my observations in the last two years I have been taking my prerequisites. Now, I am considering switching majors.

No word on how much his Canadian friend paid for the Auction but Kruse says he "MIGHT" have enough to pay the folks he's stiffed so far. Oh yeah, he's not the Republician County Chairman any more. He was rather quitely removed from that office. My money is on more people losing more money that he will ever pay. Time will tell. Come to Auburn for Labor Day. Thier only concern is how much money you spend. Not what you get for it! Well, Kruse has “sold the farm”.

I for one don't think that we need to "redistribute the wealth", sounds like a bank robber defending his actions after he is caught and he is on trial. I hope we can have a fair election in 2010 and 2012. America is in trouble and the bank robbers are in charge for now! America - Back to the principals that we were founded upon.

She did as "advised" and still wasn't able to get in. She drove across the street to IVY Tech and was told exactly what she needed to do and got into there LPN program without a problem. I think IPFW has gotten to big any you just become a number and $ sign to them.

They chose to, and still after over 4 months, have not payed me for my car they sold. This seems to be quite a re-occurring experience, them not paying people. I have posted my story in my blog where i hope more people can post their experiences and eventually get something done about this ongoing saga. I welcome anyone here to come read it, and or post your Kruse auction experiences.
