Elementary Mile draws 200 runners By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
About 200 runners from grades three through five turned out Monday, May 20, for the Southwest Allen County School District Elementary Mile Championship Cross Country Race at Summit Middle School. The race was the culmination of a six-week introductory running program, according to Kim Hodson, one of the race supporters. In an email, Hodson said this was the third year of the race but the first year the extra training was offered. The race was open to any student in that age range in the school district, with or without the pre-race training. “This event would not have been possible without the direction of Tammy Behrens, Homestead High School science teacher and assistant cross country coach,” Hodson wrote.

Walkers circle the track during the 2012 Relay for Life at Bishop Luers High School. This year’s Relay is June 8 and 9. Melissa Stephens will coordinate a June 8-9 event at Sirva Inc. Christy Means does not work from the Fort Wayne office, but coordinates four of the 16 events in northeast Indiana. Relays began May 18 in DeKalb and Noble counties. Relays were held June 1-2 at New Haven High School and Woodlan Jr./Sr. High School. Stephens said the Sirva event is doing well in
fundraising, but is down in participants. That event is earmarked for the west side of Allen County — from north to south — but entrants may gravitate toward any of the four Relays. “The volunteers actually do most of the work,” Torres said. “They plan and implement. They are the driving force behind the event.” See RELAYS, Page A18

It is not by chance that Mindy Torres coordinates Relay for Life events, the signature fundraising events for the American Cancer Society. “It’s very personal for me,” said Torres. “My grandmother is a four-time cancer survivor. I used to work with another nonprofit, and I loved it there, but it just didn’t hit home like the Cancer Society.” Torres came to the Fort Wayne office from northwest Ohio, where her father is battling his second bout of cancer. Torres and two other community representatives organize 16 Relays for Life in and near Fort Wayne. Torres will coordinate a June 8-9 event at Bishop Luers High School.

Hanita Epstein says she has learned about leadership and has learned about Fort Wayne during her two years on the Mayor’s Youth Engagement Council. The Homestead High School senior served as president of the council this past school year. Epstein also served on the council during her junior year. Mayor Tom Henry has begun inviting students to apply for the 25 council seats for 2013-14. The deadline to apply is June 15. “I definitely learned how to work with every different person, how to work as a team,” Epstein said. “And being president, I learned what works best to lead among peers.” “Being on this council, I’ve really learned a lot about my community, and I’ve become attached to this project, and I’ve become really passionate about helping Fort Wayne
Epstein become a really close-knit community.” As president, she helped organize and publicize two events this spring. The evening of May 25, the third annual Fort Wayne’s Almost Famous Talent Show filled the 900 block of Calhoun Street. On April 27, the teens presented an art show showcasing the works of local high school artists at the Rialto Theater, 2614 S.

Diva Dash for women only is rally against osteoporosis By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
The Diva Dash is the perfect race for a beginning
runner, according to Maureen Partee. The third annual race kicks off at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 15, from Georgetown
Square. Partee works in the leasing and promotions office at Georgetown Square. “We’re the host and
“A positive experience from the moment we meet.” “An effective marketing plan is important because it will help you immediately see the results of your advertising dollar.” “I enjoy working with my customers. I help ensure they are in the best products for maximizing results.”
“Lots of people will work with you. I’ll work FOR you.”
the title sponsor,” Partee said. Another company sponsored the race the first two years. Race director Sharon Christian is with another company this year, but will direct the race again. Christian is “the driving force behind the run,” Partee said. The 5k run/walk is a fundraiser for the National Osteoporosis Foundation. The course has no hills and has plenty of shade, Partee said. “It’s really become the race known as for first-time racers and novices,” she said. “A lot of people walk it, also.” The Fort Wayne Track Club will be on hand to
keep the official times. “It’s grown each year,” Partee said. “We think we’re going to get up to 400 this year.” She said the 5k is the only all-women’s race in Fort Wayne. Last year, 361 divas raised about $5,000. Registration is $25 through race day. Race day registration and packet pickup will be from 6:15 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. June 15 at Healthkick in Georgetown Square. Everyone who registers in advance will receive a T-shirt, as will the first 200 participants. For more information, visit nof.org. In a news release, spon-
sors said, “The Diva Dish is a wonderful opportunity for a sisterhood of women and girls of all ages to get together, and put on their walking/ running shoes for the dash to prevent this debilitating disease” According to the NOF, one in two women 50 or older will suffer a broken bone as a result of osteoporosis, now causing an estimated two million fractures each year. “This disease has no symptoms until debilitating fractures occur,” race sponsors said in a news release. “Fortunately, osteoporosis is treatable and can be prevented.”

Summer school is opportunity to stay on course By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
Summer school helps keep students on track for long-term success, according to Steve Lake, the interim principal of Homestead High School. Summer courses began June 6. Most courses continue through July 3. Many summer classes are offered for credit recovery, which Lake described as a valuable means to stay on course. “It’s important that parents understand that if their kids do fail and get out of sequence, how important it is for the kids to come to summer school,” Lake said. Families sometimes regret that summer school conflicts with vacation plans, he said. “But sometimes you need to sacrifice a little bit, so your kids — in the long run — don’t get hurt by being out of sequence.” Lake, a 1976 Homestead graduate, said high school is less flexible today. “It used to be, you could come in your freshman year and just get a feel for the classes, and by sophomore year you could start figuring out college,” he said. “It’s not that way anymore,” Lake said. “By your freshman year you need to know where you’re headed. With the sequence of classes for college or even a twoyear school, you really need to be on track.” Summer school allows students who have failed a class or missed a credit to get back on track, he said. “They can graduate on time and stay in sequence for their next step in life,” he said. Lake said it is a burden on students to have to double up on classes in order to get
back on course. “I’ve seen kids that are having to double up and triple up on courses,” he said. “So many of these subject areas are so sequential,” he said, “that if you don’t pass or miss a year, it’s nearly impossible to move on to the next level.” Lake has been a building administrator for 17 of his 26 years at Homestead. The school board appointed him as interim principal on short notice when a vacancy became available for the 2012-13 school year. “I’ve been around for a while, and I think they felt pretty comfortable with me,” he said. He will resume the role of assistant principal July 1, when Park Ginder becomes principal. Ginder has been principal at DeKalb High School for two years, and was an assistant principal at Carroll High School. The summer intermediate concert band class is not for credit recovery, Lake said, but to prepare for the fall marching band season. Band begins July 22 and ends Aug. 9. Physical education is a four-hour activity class, but four days will be six-hour days. The course ends July 1. Driver’s education is not a credit recovery course. Lake described it as a public service to families who find it difficult to travel to driving schools in other parts of town. “It’s close by and very convenient for kids who are in athletic programs during the summer,” he said. “For some, it’s a bike ride away. So we do it as a service to the community, and the community has always been very supportive.”

based The Reclamation Project. Epstein said the art show gave the youth council a chance to see the theater restoration project in progress and to see the blueprints. “They’re turning that spot into a mixing of all the cultures, so a lot of the youth will be going there,” Epstein said. “Our main goal was to engage the youth in whatever we do, and ultimately we’re making the Rialto our own.” “So we’re talking with people that you might not otherwise meet,” she said. “It’s interesting to see how everyone from all the communities can come together and how everyone works together because they’re all focused on one goal.” In a news release, Henry said the council is an opportunity to get involved in the community and to learn more
about city government. The council’s 25 student members work to develop and to implement service-learning initiatives. Since the council was started in 2010, the group has looked for ways to engage their peers, volunteered at community events and learned about local non-profit organizations and businesses. “The Youth Engagement Council provides a great forum for current or future leaders to get involved in their city, make known their ideas and work on civic issues,” Henry said. “We are committed to our young people and want our city to be a place where young talent can blossom. Involving them in local government is one way we can do that.” Applicants must be city residents entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year in public, private or home

schools. Students selected for in-person interviews will be contacted in July. Students are selected based on the strength of their application, which includes short answer questions and requires two references. Final selections will be made this summer. Youth council members will be asked to make a 12month commitment. Monthly meetings start in August and will begin at 5:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month. Epstein said the mayor’s youth program is an important way to bring the city together and discover the talent within the city. Because she is graduating high school, Epstein is not eligible for a third year on the council. This fall, she plans to attend Washington University in St. Louis.

Groups such as the Kiwanis are part of “the unheralded army that will continue to make the lives of children better,” according to Allen Superior Court Judge Charles Pratt. The founder of Great Kids Make Great Communities addressed five Allen County Kiwanis clubs, who held their first joint banquet at the Holiday Inn IPFW. Delegates from the Time Corners Kiwanis Club in Aboite Township and four other clubs expressed hope that “An Evening Celebrating Unity in Service to the Community and Youth” will become an annual event. Pratt served as keynote speaker for an audience of about 150 Kiwanis and
guests. He recounted stories of violence in Allen County, and of efforts to combat the influences that contribute to that behavior. “Your individual and collective advocacy for services and programs for children and young adults has become an essential component of positive youth development throughout our community,” Pratt said. “You are the foundation and collectively comprise an essential resource on whom people like myself — elected officials, mayors, educators, faithbased servants and agency heads — rely in our daily ministry to the care and uplifting of children.” “One would think that with all that we are gathered here to celebrate, that our community would not now be experiencing the

Arcola stages 3-day pull to benefit fire department By Garth Snow
All the details
gsnow@kpcnews.net
Organizers say the Arcola National Truck & Tractor Pull wouldn’t happen without a host of helpers. “It’s run by the people of the community,” said committee Treasurer Jim VanEvery. “If they didn’t volunteer, we couldn’t have it.” Individuals and organizations pull together to support the pull, which VanEvery said is the biggest annual fundraiser for the Arcola Volunteer Fire Department. Firefighters Matt Butts and Dave Branning serve as committee cochairmen. Lin Wilson volunteers as secretary. In an interview, they estimated that 300 people support the pull. This year, the three-day run is June 27-29. The Knights of Columbus from St. Patrick’s Church handle parking. The Lions Club cleans up the track and grounds. Arcola United Methodist Church cooks a Saturday breakfast for pullers and volunteers. A Shriners unit — the Antique Power Club — provides and operates the tow-back tractors for the pull, and Shriner John Brandon works separately to head up the committee

VanEvery and Branning said the population of the fire district has begun to increase. Branning said the 20 members of the department answer 12 to 15 calls a month. Butts said the four fire trucks and one rescue vehicle respond to many accidents. “We have both U.S. 33 and U.S. 30 in our area,” he said. The township budget would feel a hit without the proceeds from the annual pull, VanEvery said. “If it weren’t for this,
the trustee would have to come up with a lot more money,” he said. “So it would probably increase people’s taxes out here a little bit. This is the single biggest source of income, at least in a good year.” Butts said the pull grew from the Arcola Days in the early ’50s, when farmers drove stock tractors. “As the years went by, everybody wanted more horsepower, and it evolved into the modifieds,” he said. The pull was born on the grounds of the former Arcola High School, and moved to Branning Park in 1978. The bleachers have a seating capacity of
3,400. VanEvery estimated the attendance at 8,000 to 10,000 over the three-day event. “And it could be better than that if the weather’s extremely good,” he said. Spectators and competitors attend from a multistate area. Past entrants have hailed from Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Maine and New York, and the Hoosier State. “They will come in in a semi. You can compare it to one of those NASCAR semis,” VanEvery said. “They can live in it. They’re not in the sport for the money.”
Sausage burgers are the event’s best known food attraction. Wilson said she will enjoy the curly fries, or “the elephant ears if it’s not overcrowded.” “But the sausage can’t be beat,” said Wilson. A beer tent also serves visitors. Committee members said they welcome the chance to serve their community. Wilson said she bought a house in the township in 2002, and helped to secure a FEMA grant for the fire department in 2005. She stayed on board as a member of the committee, which she described as “a good way to volunteer and

Sunday is rain day. give back.” VanEvery said he and his wife — the former Susan Stout — moved back to a family home in Arcola in about 1999. He said a house fire helped him embrace the opportunity to repay the fire department. “I mean they helped me when we had that house fire,” he said. “And so I came over and I did what I could to help, and I wasn’t smart enough to say no, and I got to be treasurer.” He said he has been involved with the committee since about 2006. “I used to help cook the sausage,” he said. “That was a job that was a lot easier.”
Financial Focus What Does Dow 15,000 Mean to You? This month, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a milestone, when, for the first time, it closed above 15,000. Of course, 15,000 is a nice, round number, and it sounds pretty big — but what does it mean to you, as an individual investor? Is it cause for celebration — or is it more of a “caution” flag? There’s no one simple answer to these questions. Since March 2009 — the low point of the market following the 2008 financial crisis — the “Dow” has risen about 130 percent. And while the Dow is just one index, it’s nonetheless an important measure of the market’s performance — which means that you
were likely glad to see the 15,000 mark eclipsed and you’d be happy if the numbers just kept rising. However, as you’re no doubt aware, the market does not move in just one direction. Typically, declines of 10% or more — or “corrections” — occur about once a year. Unfortunately, they're not predictable. Sooner or later, the markets will indeed change course, at least for the short term. When this happens, don’t panic — corrections are a normal part of the market cycle. Still, you might feel like you should do something to cope with the downturn. But what? Here are a few suggestions:
• Keep investing — Too many people, when faced with a market drop, decide to “cut their losses” and take a “time out” from investing. But that can be a costly mistake — had these investors bailed out of the market in 2009, and only recently returned, they would have missed a substantial part of that 130 percent run-up in the Dow. And when you invest in a down market, your dollars may actually go farther if the market rebounds, because you would have bought more shares at the lower prices. • Review your portfolio — It’s usually a good idea to review your portfolio at least once a year, and it may be especially
important during those times when the market changes directions. Over time, a portfolio can become unbalanced — for example, following a long period of rising prices, some of your growth-oriented investments may have gained so much value that they now take up a larger percentage of your holdings than you had intended, possibly subjecting you to a greater level of risk than you desire. If this happens, you may need to scale back on these investments and reallocate the money elsewhere. • Diversify — Always look for ways to spread your dollars among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit

(CDs) and other investments. Even within these classes, look for ways to diversify further, such as owning different types of stocks, bonds of varying maturities, and so on. Diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, but it can help reduce the impact of volatility that can occur in a downturn. The Dow at 15,000 is certainly no minor event. And since stocks don't appear too expensive compared to their earnings, don't be surprised if higher milestones follow. But record highs can be quickly forgotten when the market falls. By being prepared for that day, too, you can help yourself continue to work toward your goals — even when the major market indices have, for the moment, taken a wrong turn.

training this summer to be a part of the team in the fall.� Dick Shenfield, former Homestead High School boys’ track and cross country coach, served as starter. Sara Wyss, Homestead’s girls’ cross country coach, assisted at the race. She said Behrens saw the need for such an event about three years ago and began to organize it. “Last year I think we only had 40 kids,� she said. “This year we have over 200. The elementary schools were so involved in fielding teams, and it was a real community effort. She’s done a terrific job. Amazing.� “Coach Behrens assembled a team of parent volunteers, SACS staff volunteers, and students to form and coach training groups for each school, elicit sponsors, and plan the final meet,� Hodson wrote. “The goal of the program is to teach students the aspects of lifelong fitness and better prepare students for the thrill of competition; however an added benefit is the way running has brought together students, staff and parents to create a spectacular event.� Middle school runners joined the training groups. Middle school and high school cross country and track athletes helped to set up the course and to direct runners on race day. Homestead junior Vanessa Berghoff worked on the Elementary Mile to help earn her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting. According to Hodson, Berghoff learned that participants grow in teamwork, perseverance, confidence and leadership. “Vanessa has been an important member of the planning team, contacted sponsors, and helped organize the training groups,� Hodson wrote.

Gold Award candidates must select a project and have it approved. “I really like the idea of fitness and getting kids active at a younger age,� Berghoff said, “because then they can have those habits to carry on later in their lives.� “Relying on the dedication of students of all age levels, parents, teachers, and staff, the Elementary Mile Championship has brought together the SACS community and encouraged a healthy lifestyle for elementary students and their families,� Hodson wrote. Behrens said Berghoff helped organize the T-shirt order and other details of the race. “She has put in countless hours helping me put together the training schedule and materials for the students at each elementary school,� Behrens said. The training program for the coaches and runners met twice a week for six weeks. “She worked with me from the beginning of the planning in November,� Behrens said.

Rotary Club of Fort Wayne adds flexible membership The Rotary Club of Fort Wayne has entered a new phase in the club’s nearly 100-year history by welcoming its first corporate member, Indiana Stamp Co. Inc./Signs Now Division of Indiana Stamp. The corporate membership category expands opportunities for businesses and organizations. “We realize that many business leaders today simply do not have the time to attend weekly Rotary meetings and participate in our service projects, although many leaders truly want to do so,” said David Borgen, club president. “Having a corporate membership category means the membership is held by the corporation and not the individual, with the corporation assigning three senior leaders of its company to share membership duties and attend weekly meetings.” Tom Beaver, the CEO of Indiana Stamp/Signs Now, recognized these advantages and a few more. “I am a longtime Rotary member and deeply support the club’s activities and services but do not always have the time I’d like to support them,” Beaver said. “I saw the new corporate membership category as a way to share the Rotary
Signs Now Division of Indiana Stamp Co. “We hope to attract many corporate members to the Rotary Club of Fort Wayne,” said Borgen, the Rotary Club president. “In this way, we make membership more flexible and accessible to local leaders who want to make significant contributions to their community and to
values of service leadership with our younger leaders.” The three Rotary representatives from Indiana Stamp/Signs Now are Beaver; Sarah Chesebrough, the director of marketing and communications for the Indiana Stamp Companies; and Shannon Morgan, the director of sales for the
the global projects of Rotary International.” The Rotary Club of Fort Wayne, founded in 1915, has led and implemented many service projects. Among them are creating the Circle of Hope in Headwaters Park, donating the Avenue to Trees along North Clinton Street by Headwaters Park, adopting Wash-

Walk-n-Learn outings continue The Parkview Physicians Group has launched a new walking program, MD & Me: Walk-n-Learn. More than 70 members of the community helped kick off the first of a series of six opportunities to listen to a physician presentation on health-related topics and then join the physician on a walk at the YMCA outdoor trail, near Salomon Farm Park. “It’s important for people to be able to connect with physicians who can help guide them in making the right choices for healthier lifestyles,” said Dr. Mitch
Stucky, the president of Parkview Physicians Group. “Our program offers a unique way to both learn and engage in an enjoyable activity.” Free blood pressure screenings and education materials were provided. The presentation and walk were led by Dr. Mark O’Shaughnessy of Parkview Physicians Group – Cardiology. His topic was “Why Walk: The Importance of Exercise.” Future events are scheduled for: Tuesday, June 11: Dr. Angela LaSalle, “Under-
standing Your Thyroid.” Tuesday, July 9: Dr. Raymond Dusman, “Know Your Numbers: Reduce Your Risk for Heart Disease.” Tuesday, Aug. 13: Dr. Michele Helfgott, “Gut Health.” Tuesday, Sept. 10: Dr. Robert Godley, “Hypertension: What Do the Numbers Mean?” Tuesday, Oct. 8: Dr. James Edlund, “Colon Health.” To register for a future MD & ME: Walk-n-Learn, call (855) 637-0010 or email mdandme@parkview.com.

Panel examines local access to healthy foods Community members from a range of industries and perspectives came together in downtown Fort Wayne to discuss the issue of local food deserts and a lack of access to healthy foods in certain areas of the city. The group was brought together through a new Parkview Community Health Improvement initiative called Explore, which challenges community leaders to understand the broad range of factors
that contribute to a healthy community. Food deserts, as defined by the Healthy Food Financing Initiative, are areas identified through census data with a highpopulation and low income with no supermarket or large grocery stores accessible within one mile. A combination of transportation and financial obstacles significantly hinder community members from accessing
the balance of basic, nutritious food necessary to be healthy. “We know overall community health is affected by numerous catalysts, including access to healthy foods, economic development, education, youth empowerment and senior citizen engagement, among others,” said Mike Packnett, CEO and president of Parkview Health. “Explore brings together voices from throughout the
region to discuss, critically assess and potentially solve each relevant issue, one collaboration after another.” Participants in the event heard from Health Commissioner Dr. Deborah McMahan of the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health as well as local individuals who live in a local food desert and must deal with a lack of access to healthy foods on a daily basis. An
afternoon bus tour also brought to light the benefits provided by community gardens as one potential solution to the local issue of access to healthy foods. “Explore is another tool that will help to provide more insight and perspective into what food deserts are and how we can use this knowledge to empower the community to make a positive change,” said Sue Ehinger,
the president of Parkview Hospital and affiliates. “This initiative is another resource Parkview Community Health Improvement will put into action with the goal of helping individuals eat and live healthier.” Explore is a strategic gathering of individuals from all areas of the community who have an interest in understanding the root causes of community health issues.
Lapper & Survivors Day raises $55,000 for cancer patients Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana’s 11th annual Lapper & Survivors Day event raised more than $55,000 for people with cancer. More than 700 people attended the May 18 event. Proceeds provide emotional support, practical resources, and information to more than 3,000 people with cancer and their families each year. “Cancer Services is a community-focused organization that directly impacts the lives of those living in our community,” said Kim Richards, a Cancer Services supporter and cancer survivor. “If not for this organization, I would not have made it through my cancer experience. They were my solid ground, and that’s why I participate in Lapper.” Lapper is a fundraiser designed to honor or memorialize those touched by cancer. When Lapper founder Jill Burnett first organized this event 11 years ago, she encouraged participants to test their own endurance and push past their comfort zone just as people with cancer do every day. That tradition continues, and each Lapper walked as many laps as they could around Brotherhood Place Office Park. Immediately after the walk, participants came together to enjoy Survivors Day. In a news release, the organization described the event as “a celebration for those who have survived, an inspiration for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of support for families, and an

Operation Troop Support plans garage sale June 15 By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
Operation U.S. Troop Support Inc. will hold its annual Garage Sale for the Troops on Saturday, June 15, at 7136 Pine Lake Road, Fort Wayne. The public is invited to visit the sale or drop off donations of new socks, toiletries, snacks, cards and letters of support and other needed items, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The garage sale will raise money for overseas postage and other items. 2013 Homestead High School graduate Alison Mansfield launched the program more than seven years ago, to thank the men and women who serve in uniform.
What began as a local Girl Scout cookie drive to support the troops has Mansfield grown into a nationwide initiative supporting thousands of soldiers. As of May 5, Mansfield’s program had collected and shipped 101,728 items to the troops, with many more items yet to be inventoried. “Thanks to the Fort Wayne community for helping out,” Mansfield said after reaching her announced goal of collecting 100,000 items. “I was glad I was able to pass those items along to
the soldiers.” She said most donations have come in larger quantities, perhaps 20 or more items at once. More information about the program’s history and needs can be found at operationustroopsupport.org. “It’s been a great experience,” Mansfield said of the goal she set as a fifthgrader. “I think that’s a critical mistake a lot of young people make. They think it’s too much work. They think they can’t do that. If you’re enthusiastic about making a difference, the best advice is to just go for it. Just make small changes, and then others will help you, and you’ll make big changes in the long run.”

Homestead writing teacher shares credit for success By Garth Snow
Special honors
gsnow@kpcnews.net
Connie Christophersen says the honors that flow to Homestead High School’s language arts students reflect the entire school district’s commitment. Christophersen teaches the senior AP Language and Composition course. She also serves as language arts coordinator for Southwest Allen County Schools. “What we accomplish at the senior level is only possible because of the excellent instruction kids receive beginning in kindergarten,” Christophersen wrote in an email. She said the advanced placement course “goes beyond traditional classroom assignments and gives students opportunities for real audiences.” Those opportunities sometimes result in scholarship money. Over about five years, those awards totaled about $30,000. Many recognitions did not include monetary gain. Homestead students receive excellent instruction in elementary and middle schools, she said. “They walk into the course already highly skilled,” Christophersen said. The course affords her the chance to address gaps that might remain in writing ability. “I’m really able to take them beyond what you would see in a senior writing course because of that great preparation,” she said. The senior writers showcase, however, is not about scholarships or even awards. “We just finished our fifth showcase in April,” Christophersen said. “Students are able to select a piece of writing that they wrote and share it with the audience — parents and friends. It’s just a great evening in which they can share their love of language and what they’ve accomplished. It is not a competition.” “It goes beyond this course,” she said. “We

So it occurred to me, if there’s a scholarship essay that aligns with the course, why wouldn’t I use that as a class assignment?” “Emma Farnsworth wrote an essay for class, and I had her send it to Newsweek, and Newsweek bought it,” she said. The essay earned Farnsworth $500. “So you can imagine the excitement and what that was like for the students. So maybe that’s how it began.” “I tell students all the time that you don’t know what you can achieve unless you try, and so why not set your sights high,” she said. “In Southwest
Allen County School we have a community that values education, and the goal is to expose kids to these opportunities, and along the way there’s a lot of coaching that goes on.” Notable among the school year’s achievements was Homestead’s honors in the Profile in Courage Essay contest, sponsored by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, in Boston. Homestead senior Jamie Baer took first place and earned a $10,000 scholarship in the contest. Classmate Victoria Barnard placed in the Top 10 in the nation. In Boston, awards committee Chairman Al Hunt introduced Baer and Christophersen. “He shared that we’ve had more success than any other high school in the country,” Christophersen said. Homestead has placed students in the Top 10 five years. Christophersen has taught composition at Homestead since the fall of 1999. She previously taught in East Allen County Schools for eight years, and at IPFW for 10 years.
She said the Homestead course is aligned with IPFW, as a dual-credit course. The credits apply to college records. The grades also apply to records at any Indiana college. Students must score at least 3.0 on the AP English Language and Composition Exam to receive that credit. Last year, she said, Homestead students averaged 4.25. and only one student did not receive dual credit. “I love this course,” Christophersen said. “We
really prepare kids for academic writing, also, so that when they go to college they are prepared. We get notes back all the time from students, telling about how well prepared they are.” “I think all of the teachers at Southwest Allen County Schools appreciate the work of one another — the collaboration, the communication,” she said. She hopes to contribute to even better coordination, so that all teachers know what strate-
gies are working. “We have a program that is very strong and we hope to make it even stronger,” she said. Teachers at the middle school and high school level have the privilege of refining students’ skills, according to Christophersen. She explained, “The teachers in the elementary schools should be just as proud of the success of these kids as anyone at the high school, because they developed that foundation.”

RELAYS from Page Organizations, companies and groups of friends organize teams and gather pledges for walks. Each Relay begins at 9 a.m. and continues for 24 hours. “It’s a signature fundraising event for the American Cancer Society, where teams of people get together and raise money and walk the track for 24 hours, really symbolizing the fact that cancer never sleeps,” Torres said. “That’s why the whole 24hour theme came about.” Soon after the program opens, the track is opened to the survivors lap, featuring those who have battled cancer. As evening arrives, attention turns to the luminaria ceremony. “That is one of the biggest draws for people coming to the event,” Torres said. “We usually have the best turnout for the luminaria ceremony.”
A1 Friends and family members pay tribute to those who have battled cancer, including those whose fight has ended. The honoree’s name is written on a paper bag, weighted with sand. A candle is placed inside the bag, and lighted candles glow from bags in a circle around the track. The cost is $10. “And it’s really just to pay tribute to everyone that we know and love that has battled cancer,” Torres said. Supporters may register at the American Cancer Society’s website, or may attend the event. “After the luminaria ceremony we join each other on the track and we have one lap of silence to remember and to honor all the cancer survivors,” she said. And through the night, after the ceremonies, the enthusiasm continues.

There are pizza parties. There’s upbeat music. They try to be really creative to keep people going.” Teams have been registering and recruiting walkers and donations for months, but there is no deadline to apply. “We have teams that just show up the day of the event and register,” Torres said.

Society fundraising is a personal mission. She volunteered at Relays in high school and was captain of her college Relay team. In 2008, her grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died within weeks. “And I can see how cancer changes lives,” Stephens said. “And I promised myself I would do something to change other people’s lives, so that other people wouldn’t have to go through what my grandmother went through.” In that summer of 2008, Stephens donated a kidney, in tribute to her

Two of the younger participants take a break for a photo during the 2012 Relay for Life at the Bishop Luers High School track. grandmother. “I just remember my mom saying over and over again, ‘If we could have one more day with her. If we could have one more vacation with her.’ So that was my way of giving back as well,” she said. She said the Sirva event, in its second year, is open to everyone. “We have a really cool opening ceremony planned, with a motorcycle brigade that is going to do our first lap,” she said. “They did that same opening ceremony last year, and people loved it.” Erica Billingsley was diagnosed when cancer when she was 16. “I’m an eight-year cancer survivor and that’s how I got involved with Relay for Life,” she said. She has been involved with Relay for Life for seven years, and this year is the director of the event at Luers. “I am an oncology nurse at Lutheran Hospital,” she said. “I went from cancer patient to cancer nurse. It’s a blessing.”
In a recent tally, Billingsley recorded 14 teams registered for the Luers Relay. Teams represent churches, sororities and other organizations. Some teams had three members and others had 10 members. But one member of each team will be on the course at any moment of the 24-hour Relay. “Some people stay the entire time and others just come and go,” she said. “Last year we had 50 to 75 people over the whole 24 hours.” As at other Relays, Billingsley said the luminaria ceremony at dusk will be an emotional moment. “You can purchase those for $10 the day of the event, or from anyone who’s participating,” she said. “When the sun goes down they’ll read a list of names of those purchased in honor of those who have passed away from cancer and in honor of any survivors.” As has been done each year, the luminaria will be placed around the track. “Last year,” she said, “the track was covered.”

Aboite berry farm devoted to natural products By Rick Farrant rfarrant@fwbusiness.com
The driveway off Hadley Road with the white-fenced bridge is so narrow there’s barely room for one car, and the sense is that whatever lies at the end of the journey must be small. But in little more than a breath or two, travelers are deposited at the edge of a large clearing filled with strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, 125 varieties of vegetables and herbs, a scattering of guinea hens and chickens, and a big snow-white Italian sheep dog named Leo. It is here in southwest Fort Wayne that owners Richard Barnes, his wife, Margy Hooker, and her daughter Camille Cupa run Tanglewood Berry Farm, a USDA-certified organic growing operation that matches their commitment to environmental preservation and good health. It is here, too, where people can come three days a week to purchase harvested organic produce for consumption or starts free of genetic modifications and synthetic fertilizers that can be cultivated in private gardens. People, Cupa said, strayed for a time “from the organic methods that people had been using for thousands of years. But now, people are starting to see how that has been degrading the environment and our health.” And Tanglewood, open to the public since 2010, is about to undergo an explosion of growth that in some ways mimics the rise of certified organic food production across the country.
U.S. organic product sales, which include mostly food items, increased from $9 billion in 2002 to $31.4 billion in 2011, according to the latest figures available from the Vermont-based Organic Trade Association. Organic food production as a percentage of the total food market has also been growing, from 1.6 percent in 2002 to 4.2 percent in 2011. OTA spokeswoman Barbara Haumann acknowledged the growth in organic food production has been gradual and still lags conventional production significantly. But she believes organic foods ultimately could feed the world’s populations, especially in developing nations, and she said one of the keys is persuading conventional farmers to make the switch. That can be a tough sell because there is a threeyear transition period to organic farming to cleanse the soil of chemicals. And maintaining an organic farm is labor intensive,
especially when employing such natural pest-control methods as netting, growing crops during periods when pests are less active and removing bugs by hand. “You’ll hear the farmer say, ‘Well, it takes too much work,’” Haumann said. Cupa, though, believes some farmers eventually can be persuaded. “A lot of it is these farmers were raised with doing everything conventionally, and it got passed on, passed on, passed down,” she said. “So a lot of people just don’t have the knowledge (about organic practices) because conventional is what they’ve been doing for years and years and years.” Another hurdle is the consumer cost of organic produce, which on the surface remains higher in most cases than conventional produce. That can make committing to eating organic See FARM, Page A20

difficult for people of modest means, many of whom might need nutritious, pesticide-free produce the most. But Hooker and Holli Seabury, CEO of Fort Wayne’s McMillen Center for Health Education, said even if people can’t avoid all non-organic food, they at least should try to switch to organic food when buying fruits and vegetables prone to relatively large concentrations of pesticides. Seabury said the cost of organic produce is something that comes up during McMillen Center adult education sessions, and “what I say is, ‘If it’s not feasible that all your fruits and vegetables are organic, then concentrate on the dirty dozen that carry a bigger load of pesticides.’” That dirty dozen list, according to the latest Environmental Working Group report, includes apples, celery, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, hot peppers, imported nectarines, peaches, potatoes, spinach, strawberries and sweet bell peppers. Kathy Wehrle, community outreach dietitian for Parkview Health, said people should also steer toward locally grown produce even if it’s not organic because local producers tend to spray
Tanglewood hours less, and the food is fresher and therefore more nutritious. But Wehrle, the daughter of a conventional farmer, added: “If you can buy organic and local, hey, you’re rockin’ it.’” In the cases of both the farmer and the consumer, education plays a big role in embracing organic. And to that end, a significant part of Tanglewood’s looming growth will focus on educational initiatives. Leading the way is: Barnes, 61, who also runs a national award-winning blackberry-production management business called Trellis Growing Systems LLC; Hooker, 53, the author of three cookbooks, former owner of the popular Margy’s Cafe in Fort Wayne and longtime manager, worker and instructor in matters related to food; and Cupa, the 32-year-old farm manager with a college degree in plant science/horticulture. Barnes and Cupa said the farm soon will be expanded from five producing acres to eight — and there’s room for an another roughly 35 to 40 acres of expansion. Tanglewood, Cupa said, also will offer for the first time you-pick opportunities for tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, peas and peppers. A new website, Tangle-

Hadley Road is open from: 2-6 p.m. Tuesdays; 1:306:30 p.m. Thursdays; and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays. woodBerryFarm.com, will allow people to pre-order Tanglewood produce online and products from Honored Prairie, a Roanoke-based farm cooperative that offers meats and dairy products from grass-fed and freerange animals. Hooker, meanwhile, is focusing on: the farm’s first-ever series of cooking classes using locally produced fresh ingredients; other educational learning opportunities taught by local professionals; a new Little Sprouts Club where children can learn about growing and eating nutritious foods; wildflower walks, and farm tours. She said Tanglewood is also working with the area’s Burmese and Amish populations to share knowledge about organicfarming practices. “It’s been about building the foundation of the farm until now,” Cupa said. “Now we’ve got the foundation built. Now we’re branching out to do these other things.” For Hooker, Barnes and Cupa, organic farming is a lifestyle choice they’ve

Nationally recognized gardening expert Margaret Roach, author of three books and former editorial director for Martha Stewart’s print and online publications, understands the lure of nature’s solace and organic growing. She left her job with Stewart’s company in New York City in 2007 to escape the metropolitan morass and garden organically on two acres 120 miles north of the city near the Connecticut/Massachusetts borders. It is her place of peace and a chance to ensure that at least one small sliver of the ground remains pristine.

Traditionally, we are led to believe that men are not nurturers. But as contemporary views reshape the way we think, we learn that men are compassionate and hold their families dear. And if anyone knows compassion and families, it’s us.
“I think of the soil as the bottom of the food chain,” Roach said, “and it’s the food chain of all life. You have to have a relationship with the creatures that live in a place, and I tell people, ‘OK, if we kill the bottom layer of the food chain, if we sterilize the life in the soil, we’ll be interrupting the richness of the life in the soil, and I don’t care to do that.” Referring to former Harvard University Professor Edward O. Wilson’s description of below-ground invertebrates as “the little things that run the world,” Roach said: “I just think of that — the little things that run the world — and why would I want to kill them? I want to love the soil.
That, for me, is where the whole thing starts.” Hooker, Barnes and Cupa feel the same away about the land and they want to share both their environmental appreciation and their knowledge about the benefits of organic food, not the least of which is taste and retained nutritional value if harvested properly. “We don’t want to pollute anything,” Barnes said. “We want to be kind (to the land). We want to educate people about it.” Added Cupa: “If you spray insecticides, you’re killing everything that’s out there, including the good insects. So since we’re not doing that, we have a lot of good insects.” Beyond contributing to the overall well-being of people, Hooker is keen on assisting those who might experience health issues from consuming chemically laden food. “When you have people who go completely organic,” she said, “their health issues disappear. It’s a miraculous turnaround when you get them off conventional foods.” The proprietors of Tanglewood try to create a farm experience that gets people away from the stresses of life. “We want this to be a nice, serene place for people to come and enjoy and be able to relax and absorb the whole farm experience,” Hooker said.

A memorial to Fort Wayne’s sacrifice during World War I now stands in McCulloch Park, where it will be easier for the public to visit. The monument was moved from the fenced-in property of General Electric, where it had stood for 89 years. Mayor Tom Henry was joined by local veterans, City Councilman Tom Didier, Parks & Recreation Director Al Moll, and Parks & Recreation staff to rededicate the memorial. The memorial was erected Nov. 11, 1924, in honor of the 748 Fort Wayne Works General Electric Co. employees who served in World War I, 1914–1918. The six employees who “made the extreme sacrifice” and died serving their country are named at the top of the memorial.

Allen County Fair just weeks away By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
The familiar attractions that fill the fairgrounds’ stands stands sometimes become too familiar, Jerry Hammond says. The veteran of more than 20 years on the Allen County Fair Board is in charge of the entertainment events at the fair, which will fill the fairgrounds July 23-28. Hammond and fellow volunteers have a solution. “We have some new events,” said Hammond. “Sometimes stuff gets stale; it’s been around and you’re not drawing the crowd anymore. And sometimes you feel that it’s too costly for your budget. So you have to try something else.” “You’re always trying something different, if possible, to draw the people,” he said. For 2013, new events include a Tuesday evening monster truck show, a Wednesday evening pig wrestling contest, a Thursday evening balloon
glow, and Sunday afternoon demolition race and demolition hockey. Popular, returning events include the Thursday evening Redneck Relays and rickshaw race, a Friday night truck pull, and the Saturday demolition derby. “That’s one of our biggest crowds,” Hammond said. Most grandstand events are pay events. For details on the grandstand schedule and admission fees, visit allencountyfairgroundsin.com. Fairgrounds admission is $5. Hammond serves as a fair co-chairman, along with Dan Mudrack. Hammond also is president of the separate Allen County Fairgrounds board. A consultant, David Marquart, understands the challenges that face events such as county fairs. The owner of Coliseum Productions Inc. said he has put on more than 3,000 events over 28 years in the United States and See FAIR, Page B3

New Haven’s Canal Days recognizes Faith & Family By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
“Faith & Family” is a fitting theme for New Haven’s 2013 Canal Days, said festival committee President Jon Stauffer. “I think that’s really important,” he said. “Especially in this day and age. There are a lot of things that are scary in this world. The one thing that we can rely on as Americans is our faith and our family.” Canal Days has returned to Broadway Street and Schnelker Park, where the festival continues through Saturday. The festival theme corresponds to the decision to invite the Sidewalk Prophets to perform on the main stage from 8:15 p.m.-10:15 p.m. Saturday. “That’s going to be really huge,” Stauffer said. Festival committee Secretary Jessica Jones said the recording group might attract 3,000 followers, to join the approximately 25,000 people who usually attend the festival. Jones, who is in charge of food and crafts vendors and the parade, is an employee of the New Haven Parks Department, which partners with the nonprofit festival committee. “We’ve always tried to make it a family-friendly festival,” Stauffer said. “Just make sure Mom and Dad bring the kids of all ages and do the rides, check out the exhibits.” Stauffer said the suggestion of a big concert drew favor among the committee. His wife, Beth Stauffer, is in charge of entertainment. “My wife does a lot of blogging and reviews in the Christian music world,” Jon Stauffer said, “And we thought ‘Let’s

Love, a former Allen County Fair queen and a third runner-up in the state pageant, is serving as pageant director for the fifth year. “For most, this is their first pageant,” Love said. “It’s a great learning experience for them.” “The one thing that I hear is that it really helps to build their self-confidence, because this might be their first time on stage or being interviewed. It makes us feel really good to know that we can help girls build these skills.” Tayler Cummings was entering her sophomore year at IPFW when she won the 2012 pageant. The Carroll High School graduate was competing for the third time. “My mom was into beauty pageants, and I started off

Canada. A graduate of South Side High School and a resident of Fishers, Marquart has signed on to help expand the fair. He will help the volunteer board of “incredibly hard-working individuals” with advertising, sponsorship sales, and vendor and exhibit sales, and will offer general consulting. “And this year they’re really trying to give it a face-lift and they’re bringing in monster truck events and demolition derbies, and there’s a hot air balloon glow and ride,” Marquart said. “They’ve really stepped with up some nice bands that have free entertainment every night. There’s an ice cream social one night and it’s free. There are a whole lot of things going on to get more people to come out there to make money to maintain the event.” Making money is essential, he said, because the Allen County Fair receives no support from the county. “Most county fairs are free to go to, and this one can’t be because they have to make money,” he said. “I mean it’s just five bucks.” He said income has to meet the expenses, set up the next fair, and maintain the grounds. “When the 4-H or any not-for-profit agency wants to have an event, the fair likes to host it for free, but they need to make money off the fair,” he said. Marquart has worked with the Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky state fairs, and Indiana’s Huntington, Whitley and Kosciusko county fairs. “I’ve worked on fairs literally for 20 years from the operational, set-it-up point of view,” he said. “You stay ahead of the curve and keep the public interested,” he said. Volunteer boards often tend to avoid risks, he said. “This board is stepping out of the box, and it’s very refreshing to see that happen,” he said. “And Sunday afternoon,

Children 5 and under admitted free. allencountyfairgroundsin.com we’re trying something a little different,” the fair board’s events coordinator Hammond said. “We’re going to try another form of a demolition derby. This is just around the track. There are rules, but it’s more or less anythinggoes. There are some bumps, but it’s demolition derby form, so it’s a little more bumping than NASCAR. If somebody wants the lead and takes you out, that’s what it’s all about. It’s basically a fight to the finish.” “And then there’s demolition hockey,” Hammond said. “Some refer to it as hockey, some refer to it as football. You put an object, like a car or a huge earth mover tire, in the center of the ring. There are two cars and they try to move that object over a specific goal line, and the one with the most goals wins.” He also explained the Redneck Relays. “You get three people and they have to bring their own pickup truck and they load like 25 bales of straw on it and then go through an obstacle course, and the ones who can do it the fastest are the winners.” Other events include karaoke contests, a strong man contest, a mechanical bull, smash-a-car and a classic car cruise. The carnival fills the midway. Marquart attended the fair while growing up in Fort Wayne, but did not participate in 4-H. He became involved in event management as an employee of a productions company, and later formed his own company.

She enjoyed presiding over fair events. “There was something every day,” said. “A greased watermelon contest. A pizza eating contest. I helped out with karaoke. I got to announce the demolition derby and start it off.” “There is so much to learn from just being in the pageant,” she said. “You don’t have to place your first year. It’s the whole perspective behind it, and you’re wanting to represent where you live. I’m a huge advocate of volunteering. So this was definitely right up my alley in volunteering.” As the pageant winner, she helped at promotions and other events. “You put your title out there and it helps tons of businesses,” she said. Her volunteer service included Camp WatchaWanna-Do, which serves children who are battling cancer. ”It allows them to just go out and be kids,” she said. “Maybe they’ve been in the hospital and couldn’t do community events.” Cummings’ volunteer record also include the 2012 Fort Wayne downtown cleanup, a walk against autism, the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign, and a walk against breast cancer. “It was cool to see how strong these women were,” she said. Cummings said the state fair pageant was another level of competition. “I wouldn’t say it was overwhelming, but I’ll say it was an experience,” said Cummings, who described herself as “more of a hometown,
B1 down-to-earth kind of girl.” Tradition calls for each girl to bring something that represents their county, to share with their roommate. “Of course we’re all in Indiana, so we’re all corn lovers, but everybody brought something unique,” she said. “So I brought a little box of DeBrand chocolates and a little clutch from Vera Bradley, and a little pamphlet, a little snippet of what Allen County is about.” Pageant coordinators scheduled ice-breakers to help the contestants get acquainted, Cummings said. As for the pageant, she said, “It’s definitely hard to narrow 90-some girls down to 15.” Cummings is approaching her junior year at IPFW, where she

Tony Ley, the executive director of The Franciscan Center, hopes the organization’s new thrift store will help maintain or even expand the services the center provides, including free health-care items.
Franciscan Center plans Coliseum Boulevard store By Rick Farrant rfarrant@fwbusiness.com
The Franciscan Center Inc., a nearly 25-year-old nonprofit on Fort Wayne’s south side dedicated to helping the underserved, now has a thrift store along Coliseum Boulevard. The tentative opening date was June 1. Executive Director Tony Ley said the store will have two purposes: providing clothing and household items at bargain prices and using the revenue to help maintain or perhaps expand the organization’s services during a time of burgeoning need coupled with a challenging fundraising climate. “My biggest thing is: With this project, your donations give twice,” Ley said. “They give in the form of a bargain and they
give in the form of food and medicine items to be given for free by The Franciscan Center.” The Franciscan Center Family Thrift rented space at 925 E. Coliseum Building in 10,000 square feet formerly occupied by a Goodwill Industries of Northeast Indiana outlet that moved to Glenbrook Commons. Ley said he hopes the thrift store can at least help maintain the organization’s approximately roughly $340,000 annual budget, but he believes it’s possible revenue from the thrift store could amount to nearly twice that amount. All of the money, he said, will be used to serve people in need. The Franciscan Center has three principal services: a food pantry that can be accessed by people throughout the region
once a month; a health supply cabinet filled with such items as soaps, diapers and vitamins that can be accessed once a month; and a Saturday sack-lunch delivery program that serves 1,200 to 1,500 people a week. The center renders services about 80,000 times each month. The Thrift Store is accepting donations of: clothing, all sizes, genders, and seasons; holiday-themed decorations; books/CDs/movies, games, and other media; school uniforms; housewares; sporting equipment, bikes, etc. For more information about the Franciscan Center Family Thrift Store, how to support the effort, or to reserve a Drop Off Box for a place of business, contact Ley at (260) 744-3977.

Festival cuts schedule, but highlights remain By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
Huntertown Heritage Days will continue this year, but in a reduced form. Festival days are Aug. 2-4. Festival staples including the Friday evening pageant and fish fry and the Saturday morning parade and 5k run will go on as planned. Festival Treasurer Cher Fisher said the committee had to drop the beer garden and related entertainment and the fireworks display. “We’ll get it going again,” Fisher said after a called meeting. “We just need to make sure that we have the money to cover everything, and we feel that the beer tent was a big
expense. And we just want to keep it family-friendly.” She said the website will be updated to reflect the changes. Visit huntertownheritagedays.com for details. The beer tent traditionally was set up across the street from Huntertown Elementary School. Most activities are held on the front lawn of the school. The committee reconsidered the schedule, because of budget concerns and the limited number of volunteers. “We’re just going to continue to raise money, and we hope that next year we can resurrect this thing,” said Fisher, who also serves as parade chairwoman. A talent show, kids’ games and a visit from
Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehab also survived the cuts. “And that will be the extent of it,” she said. “It was either that or we weren’t going to be able to do it at all.” To volunteer, contact info@huntertownheritagedays.com. “We need time, money, whatever people can give,” Fisher said. “If anybody is interested in helping even the slightest, it will help. We’d be happy to put you somewhere, even if it’s only for an hour.” John C. Widmann is festival chairman. Marcia Holmes and Leeann Beecher also serve on the committee. Fisher expressed hope that Huntertown’s new park will allow for a strong festival in 2014.

SPCA offers $10 cat adoptions The Allen County SPCA is encouraging cat adoption by reducing fees for any cat or kitten, each Friday now through the end of summer. “This time of year we experience an enormous increase in the kitten and cat population in our area. To help save lives, we want to see as many felines get adopted as possible,” said Jessica Henry, director. The regular adoption fee for most cats is $70. Each cat will have been spayed or neutered, received its shots and preventatives, and will be ready for a home. “Now through Labor Day, come to the shelter or to our offsite locations at PetSmart Apple Glen or PetSmart on Lima Road to apply for a cat or kitten on any Friday, and the fee is just $10,” Henry said. “That’s a huge savings for adopters and a great way to help the Allen County SPCA save more lives.” Those interested should visit the Allen County SPCA’s website at www.acspca.org to learn about the adoption process or visit the shelter at 4914 S. Hanna St., 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The SPCA conducts education and outreach programs, and cultivates membership and volunteer programs.

Covington fair to spotlight one-of-a-kind art creations The Covington Art Fair returns to Covington Plaza on Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and 23. The juried art fair averages 85 to 90 local, regional and national artists, according to spokeswoman Glenda Stoppenhagen. “We juried the art fair back in March,” she said. “It’s the premier art show in the region. It’s not crafts; it’s premium, oneof-a-kind art.” Artists will be judged during the show. Winners are invited back without being juried again. “We have quite a loyal following,” she said. “People come out every year. They look for new art, but they also look for people that they buy from a lot. We always have something new.” Art forms include acrylics, pottery, jewelry, and hand-jive textiles. Jerry Krider of Columbia City is a regular at the Covington art show. Through his Claywood Creations, Krider makes sculptures and puzzles from exotic woods. Examples include nativity sets, intricate tree shapes, fish, cats and birds. The Kriders have shown their work at the Covington Art Fair for

about 10 years. “It’s nice and convenient. It’s the only one we do in Fort Wayne,” Jerry Krider said. “We do one in Indianapolis, and that’s about the only other one we do in Indiana.” “Most of the shows that we do are attended by people who are pretty aware of what they’re looking for,” he said. Their work takes them as far as Baltimore and Atlanta, at the rate of about one art fair a month during the season. Ann Krider works with her husband at the shows and in the shop on the edge of the woods behind their home. “All the work we do, my husband designs. He’s been working on this design work for about 25 years. Then everything is cut with a scroll saw — no lasers. Everything is hand-manipulated through the scroll saw. We don’t

use computers.” Jerry Krider draws each piece with a pencil and paper before he cuts it with the scroll saw. The Kriders turned from other careers in order to devote their time to their shared art. Jerry worked for Fox Products, manufacturing bassoons. Ann was a medical secretary. Today, she helps with the clerical work and sands the multicolored elements that compose a sculpture. “We apply a clear lacquer, and I sand the work and prepare it for finish,” she said. “We make small sculptures and puzzles from exotic and domestic woods,” she said. “These are available at woodworking stores. We get most of our wood from Indianapolis and Michigan. When we’re traveling to art shows we’re always looking for new stores because everything varies, and even the same store will have different wood each time we go. Some of the more popular ones we use are bocote, blood wood, zebra wood. Purple heart is a popular one, and of course we use things like maple and walnut, some mahoganies.” The wood comes from all over the world. “Everything we use we maintain the natural coloration. We do not use any stains, paints or dyes,” she said. “So our work displays a vast variety array of colors.” “Basically, we buy he wood one board at a time,” Jerry Krider said, “except for the walnut, which we get from a sawmill in town.” “We have a variety of woods, so we don’t have any one wood that’s really expensive. We try to have a lot of different colors and contrasts so that it becomes interesting to look at,” he said. The simplest wood sculpture will require an hour of Krider’s time. The most complex sculpture might take up to a week. The most expensive wood he ever purchased was snake wood, which then sold for $300 a board-foot. The chunk he bought cost $40. He still has enough wood to make more bassoon pieces. “Every month I call them to see if they need a hand rest,” he said.

James and Luke also are Eagle scouts.
The Marching Cadets’ march down Constitution Avenue marked the culmination of a year of planning, fundraising and music. The Concordia Lutheran High School band arrived back in Fort Wayne the evening of May 29, fresh from their performance in the National Memorial Day Parade on May 27 in Washington, D.C. “They were thrilled,” said Dianne Moellering, the marching band director. “Some felt it was the high point of the year.” “We had a little summary get-together before we got home,” she said. “I think they were excited to represent Indiana on a national level, but also to honor our veterans on a national level.” Two chartered buses carried 70 students and 23 adults to the capital and back, leaving Fort Wayne at 5:30 p.m. on a Friday and arriving back at Concordia at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. The full marching band and five musicians from the symphonic band presented “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” as arranged by Kent Klee. An 2:58 p.m., the Cadets and the entire
procession halted for a parade rest. Two minutes of silence honored America’s veterans. Moellering said the national parade committee reviewed Concordia’s program and issued the invitation. Then, the work and fundraising began. “The kids paid a portion of it and we fundraised all last school year,” she said. Concordia continued gathering accolades, including its highest ranking ever in the state marching band contest — runner-up in Class C. “We start the new

Festival’s name pays tribute to early canal days lore By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
Jon Stauffer said the name for the New Haven Canal Days festival takes its name from the community’s history. “The Wabash & Erie Canal used to come through here and out into the Black Swamp area, so they came up with the
name Canal Days,” said Stauffer, who serves as president of the sponsoring New Haven Festival Committee. “The Black Swamp area is more east of New Haven, but the canal actually came through New Haven.” He said vestiges of the canal still attract curiosity. “Back in the ’90s they
found a canal lock, when they were doing construction with I-469,” he said. “There’s a power substation out there and they actually found the remains of one of the original canal locks out there. If you ever drive along Old 24 between New Haven and Woodburn, the ditches along the roads are pretty deep. And that’s actually
part of the canal.” Stauffer said the festival itself dates back about 50 years, although there were some years without festival activities. “Every once in a while, someone asks why it is called Canal Days, and I’ll give them a little history,” he said. He said New Haven natives have an edge when
the conversation turns to the state’s history. “When they get to talking about Indiana and the Wabash & Erie Canal, you can say ‘I’m from New Haven, and the canal came through New Haven.’ It’s one of those things you can say that’s kind of cool.” The Wabash & Erie Canal linked water access
from the state line near Fort Wayne to Evansville, and the Ohio River. The canal tied into waterways in Ohio, and ultimately to the Erie Canal and the East. Work on the canal began in 1832. The waterway carried its last cargo in the 1870s, during the rise of the railroad age.

roofing and lighting and all of that,” he said. “We took the stage and turned it around facing the park, which will give it a lot more exposure.” Burton Brothers Amusements again will operate the rides for the midway. Midway hours are 5-11 p.m. Friday and noon-midnight Saturday. Wristbands and individual tickets are available. “And they are a very class operation,” Jon Stauffer said. “They’re great to work with, and we’ve had a lot of positive comments about them.” The Sertoma Club and the Kiwanis Club will return to offer festival fare. Rack & Helen’s Catering will join the food tent this year. Separately, Jones is in charge of the food vendors along Broadway, the merchant vendors inside the tent,
and the craft booths on the parks grounds. “I am a sucker for the cinnamon-roasted nuts or the deep-fried cheese,” she said. Other vendor foods include ice cream, shaved ice, pork tenderloin sandwiches, Italian sausage, hot dogs, hamburgers, lemon shakeups, frozen cheesecake, pizza puffs, candy apples, caramel corn and saltwater taffy. Beth Stauffer is in her first year on the committee, though she has supported the festival during all her 10 years in New Haven. “My son is now in school, so I have a little bit more time to contribute,” she said. She also writes publicity for the festival guide. She said the nonprofit festival has funneled thousands of dollars back into the community over the years.
Such festivals bring communities together, she said, and visitors might see neighbors whom they will not see for the rest of the year. “A lot of people come back home and they know the first weekend in June is going to be festival and so people come back for the midway. It’s a real family event. There’s something for everyone.” Jon Stauffer said the New Haven Festival Committee is a nonprofit organization. “We put on the Canal Days, but we also hope to have enough (money) to put it on the next year. But we also give back to the community.” The festival began Wednesday. Remaining highlights include: Friday, June 7 United Methodist Church Quilts of Valor, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., at the Methodist Church. Senior picnic, 11:30 a.m., at Schnelker Pavilion.
