overwintering grounds high in the mountains of Mexico — the only insect capable of making such a trip, due to their unique life cycle and wing structure,” the news release explained. “They fly in masses to the same winter roosts, often to the exact same trees.” At the September festival, LRWP will offer displays about monarchs’ life cycle, including live monarchs in various stages of metamorphosis. Hikers can learn more about the monarchs’ journey. Special crafts and activities will be available to children. Participants can help plant milkweeds, from which butterflies take their food. The monarch has an unusual life history, Yankowiak said. “You have monarchs that overwinter in Mexico,” she said. “When the temperature is right and all other climate conditions are right, they come out of their diapause in Mexico and they reproduce.” The first generation of butterflies will journey north. Each female can carry up to 500 eggs. They follow where the milkweed is emerging, reproduce, and die within weeks. By the time the first generation dies, the eggs of the second generation are hatching into caterpillars. The second

“We will have milkweed, and a person will have the option of planting it here or taking it home to plant,” Yankowiak said. “It’s a great learning tool for environmental educators, to learn about the life cycle of an insect,” she said. For the community on the south end of the monarch’s route, the insect holds another cultural context, Yankowiak said. “The monarch migration is part of them and part of their culture,” she said. “They believe that these are their ancestors coming back.” For more information on that tradition, visit mexicotoday.org. “Eagle Marsh in September is so beautiful,” Yankowiak said. “Right now the wildflowers are just ramping up,” she said July 25, “and August will be great as well.” But in September, the nectar will attract butterflies from Michigan and even Canada. The monarchs will swarm south. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, will visit Eagle Marsh. Yankowiak has been with the Little River Project for six years. “My job is to oversee the restoration,” she said. That requires a good management plan that protects the plants that are essential to the butterflies. Earlier in her career, she served as a naturalist for the Fort Wayne Department of Parks and Recreation, and also was a property manager for the Fort Wayne Chapter of the Izaak Walton League. She said her job is rewarding — “I get to meet a lot of great people.” Her job also can require many long hours. After one long day of coordinating more than 60 volunteers, she said, she asked herself whether the satisfaction is always worth the work. “And I’m driving down Engle road and passing Eagle Marsh and a mature bald eagle comes over the marsh and flies right over me, and I’m like ‘yes, it was.’ ” Yankowiak said Arrowhead Prairie recorded another such success story lately. The wildlife area now supports a nesting population of the rare Henslow’s sparrow, she said. A well-known birdwatcher known as Birder Bob drove from New York just to see the population, she said. “And I think just having people care about these species is important,” she said, “and I find great satisfaction in that.” For more details about the Monarch Festival, visit lrwp.org, email info@ lrwp.org, or call (260) 478-2515.

K-12 will spend $95.44 on school supplies such as notebooks, pencils and backpacks. On top of that, nearly 16 million children in the U.S. live in poverty. TCC is doing its part to ensure that as many children as possible are set up for educational success.

Police Athletic League football registration begins The Police Athletic League Inc. is taking registration for the tackle football program. Players must be age 9 to age 12 on determination day, which is Aug. 15. Call (260) 432-2122. PAL requests a donation of $70 per family. Waivers are available for families in hardship. The donation

includes all equipment. PAL will organize 13 teams of 43 players each, with games to be played at schools around Allen County. Players of all experience levels are guaranteed game time. Practice begins Aug. 17. League games begin after Labor Day. The tournament begins Oct. 12 and ends

with the PAL Bowl Oct. 26 at Homestead High School. Teams will be assigned to a north division or a south division, said Steve Butz, program coordinator. â€œWe break it down to a junior varsity green team, a junior varsity orange team, and then a varsity team,â€? he said. â€œSo itâ€™s actually three teams

within one team.â€? Those divisions ensure that each athlete receives playing time, he said. â€œOur No. 1 emphasis at this age is to go out and learn skills involved in tackle football,â€? he said. â€œAlong with that comes life lessons, and that goes along with winning and losing. Everybody wants to win, but not everybody can win, so weâ€™re trying to get each of them to give their best effort and weâ€™ll go from there.â€? â€œAnd that way when you

come into middle school and you have to determine which sports are right for you, you have some exposure to football and you can make a choice,â€? Butz said. Butz said the program is a ďŹ xture in Fort Wayne. â€œWhen we ďŹ rst started back in â€˜69 it was all police ofďŹ cers doing the program, but because of all the programs going on we had to extend it to other people,â€? he said. â€œSo right now itâ€™s more citizen volunteers, but we have a

few police ofďŹ cers sprinkled in there, too.â€? Butz said the Fort Wayne program served former NFL players Rod Woodson, in 1977, and Jason Fabini, in 1984. PAL also offers basketball, cheerleading, ballet, and self-defense programs. The PAL Center is at 2121 Olladale Drive. Olladale is one block west of Lindenwood Avenue, and connects State Street and Spring Street. For program details, visit palfortwayne.com.

period of unprecedented growth in our corner of the state. Charles Hatten succeeded Buchanan as CEO and president of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. Hatten has been associated with the chamber for more than 10 years, and was on the board of directors when Buchanan was hired eight years ago. Hatten worked in the IT department at Tokheim in Fort Wayne for 23 years. Most recently, he worked for Briljent, a federal contractor, as director of business development. Buchanan has been involved in several business ventures during the past 32 years, most of them in the restaurant industry. During his tenure with the New

Haven Chamber, membership more than doubled and membership revenue grew 300 percent. Said regional chamber Board Chair Bob Taylor: â€œWe are pleased that Vince accepted the challenge of leading this important advocacy initiative moving forward and building on an already strong track record.â€? An announcement on the New Haven Chamber of Commerce website said Buchanan has been chamber president and CEO for eight years. â€œWhile we congratulate him on his new position, he will be sorely missed,â€? the announcement states. â€œVince assured us that he wonâ€™t be far away and hopes that his new position will allow him to do different great things for New Haven.â€?

PRINCIPAL from Page role at Homestead is to sand off the edges, see if we can become better in multiple areas, and just raise the bar or improve things incrementally,â€? he told Aboite & About. â€œWeâ€™re not looking to tip things over and start new, but just to make things better,â€? he said. Ginder comes to Southwest Allen County Schools from DeKalb High School, where he had served as principal for two years. Earlier, he served nine years as an assistant principal at Carroll High School. He also served the Fort Wayne Community Schools for 16 years, including eight years at Northrup High School. He taught art, photography and computer graphics. â€œIâ€™ve lived in Allen County my whole life,â€? he said. A graduate of Carroll High School, he earned his bachelorâ€™s degree at Ball State, his masterâ€™s at IPFW, and his education specialist degree at IU Bloomington. He described

Homestead as a great opportunity at a high-performing high school. He will work with ďŹ ve assistant principals. Ginder ďŹ rst was introduced to the school via a video, which was posted on the Homestead website. In that video, he promised an open-door policy and a â€œpositive, critical approach.â€? â€œIâ€™ve been meeting staff on an individual basis for about two months,â€? he told Aboite & About. â€œIâ€™ll be at activities across the schedule,â€? he said before meeting with the Spartan Alliance Marching Band. The groupâ€™s reputation is well deserved, he said. The ďŹ ve-time state champion marching band claimed second place in the 2012 marching band ďŹ nals. â€œIf we set in our heads a goal to go the state ďŹ nals, we set ourselves up for loss,â€? he told the band. He said a goal of just making it into the Top 10 and to the RCA Dome is not enough. â€œIt sets us up for failure, and turns us

into a band that could be good, but not great,â€? he said. He told the band to practice at Dome speed. â€œDome speed demands that every time we practice, we practice and we prepare and we play for the person next to us,â€? he said. â€œWhatâ€™s the greatest motivator in life?â€? he asked. â€œLove is the greatest motivator. If I care for the person next to me, I will give them everything at every practice. Thatâ€™s the only way to be Dome speed.â€? â€œYou guys are going to come up against hardships,â€? he said. â€œTake the time to set the goal to be Dome speed every day.â€? â€œI will promise you this,â€? he continued. â€œIâ€™ll be at some of your events. I will not be sitting in the stands. Iâ€™ll be down on the ďŹ eld. Iâ€™ll see you when you march in at the game; Iâ€™ll see you when you march out. â€œBut only if you practice all year long at Dome speed.â€?

June trip to Costa Rica is roving Spanish lesson A nine-day trip to Costa Rica gave 25 Homestead High School students an opportunity to practice what they have learned in Spanish class. Homestead World Languages Department Coordinator Justin Peeper led the group, which returned June 26. Students immersed themselves in the language and the culture of the host country, he said. To qualify, each student had to have

completed two years of Spanish. Students spoke Spanish during about 75 percent of their time on the trip, he said. A couple students took a break from Spanish to help the bus driver with his English, he said. The visitors visited a school, to watch a traditional Costa Rican dance. “I think it’s one of the best parts of teaching is to take students abroad. I’m going to keep that tradition going,” Peeper said.

Piere’s to rebrand Club V and Zone By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Two of the five nightclubs in the Piere’s complex in Marketplace of Canterbury will be rebranded, a company spokesman said. Two clubs have stayed open since a Feb. 5 fire that left smoke and water damage in the Piere’s building. A grand opening in late August or September will showcase the upgrades at all five clubs. Three neighboring businesses were destroyed in that February blaze. Nathan Stephens, the marketing and entertainment director for the entertainment complex in the 5600 block of St. Joe Road, said restoration work continues. A new front facade is taking shape at the former Club V, which he said was condemned because of water damage from the sprinkler system. “It’s going to be rebranded, renamed, re-imaged,” he said. “It’s not going to be the same Club V. It’s going to be called Phoenix. It’s going to be an upscale hip-hop Top 40 club.” The former Zone also will get a new image. “What used to be the Zone is going to be called Escape,” Stephens said. “It’s going to be an ’80s, ’90s club, aimed toward your 30-plus woman.”

PHOTO BY GARTH SNOW

Work continues on the club formerly known as Club V hip-hop club, on the left, and on the main building at Piere’s Entertainment Center.

Work is almost complete in the ground-floor area occupied by Crooners karaoke lounge, and in Piere’s, which Stephens described as a nationally known concert venue. “They’re both in working order,” Stephens said. “Crooners was actually open that evening after the fire. We had Paul Davis Restoration come in, and they did a fantastic, fast job. We were open that night in Crooners. And two days later we had a concert in Piere’s. And we’ve been open ever since.” All Stars Sports Bar also will reopen for the grand opening. The area was not heavily damaged, Stephens said, but the fire made access inconvenient. A portico once connected the Piere’s complex to nearby buildings that housed Mitchell’s Sports Bar & Grill, a Cap

n’ Cork location, and the Canterbury Styling Salon. That walkway and the three businesses were leveled after the ﬁre. Susie Sadlon said her hair salon patrons have followed her to Mini Beauty Salons, at 2459 Hobson Road. Sadlon said she does not plan to reopen a salon at Marketplace of Canterbury. The phone number listed for Mitchell’s is no longer a working number. Attempts to obtain comments from a Cap n’ Cork spokesman were not successful. “Piere’s is ﬁve different clubs under one roof, and a very well-known national concert venue,” Stephens explained. “We’re planning a launch party for all the clubs, but mainly for the new club back here in the corner that used to be the

Zone and the club that was Club V,” said Stephens, adding that the exact date of the launch party depends on the contractors’ schedules. “Late August is our hopeful date,” he said. “It could be September.” Though the club will make a formal announcement in its own time, he said, the information has become public. “It’s out there,” Stephens said. “Especially here in the city, you can’t keep anything out of the grapevine.” “We’re busier than in probably ﬁve or six years, bringing in some of the biggest names — names that we’ve never had, the city’s never had. Our sound and light show is better than ever,” Stephens said. “We’re really doing well with our national concerts. We’ve got shows lined up into November, and August is a really busy month with some big names.” “We had Shinedown — a big popular, national rock act — did an acoustics show here, and we had two weeks and two days to get the word out on it and sell tickets, and we had a little over a thousand ticket sales,” he said. He said the group that performed June 23 normally would have been booked ﬁve months in advance. “And that’s one of the best shows we’ve ever had,” Stephens said.

Cat adoption fee reduced The Allen County SPCA has reduced its regular feline adoption fee from $70 to just $10 with approved application. All felines at the Allen County SPCA shelter, 4914 S. Hanna St., have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. The $10 adoption fee applies to felines at the shelter or the adoption centers within PetSmart Lima

Road or Apple Glen. Reduced adoption fees will last through Labor Day. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. “Initially we were offering the $10 feline adoptions on Fridays only, but the program has been so successful that we felt we should extend it to every day this summer,” said Shelter Director Jessica Henry.

Financial Focus Avoid “Cramming” for College Savings If you have children, you’re keenly aware that it’s getting close to back-to-school time. Today, that might mean you need to go shopping for notebooks and pencils. But in the future, when “back to school” means “off to college,” your expenditures are likely to be significantly greater. Will you be financially prepared for that day? It could be expensive. The average cost for one year at an in-state public school is $22,261, while the comparable expense for a private school is $43,289, according to the College Board’s figures for the 2012–2013 academic year. And these costs will probably

continue to rise. Still, there’s no need to panic. Your child could receive grants or scholarships to college, which would lower the “sticker price.” But it’s still a good idea for you to save early and often. To illustrate the importance of getting an early jump on college funding, let’s look at two examples of how you might fund a college education. A 529 plan is one way — but not the only way — to save for college. (The following examples are hypothetical in nature and don’t reflect the performance of an actual investment or investment strategy.) Example 1: Suppose you started saving for your child’s

college education when she was 3 years old. If you contributed $200 a month, for 15 years, to a 529 plan that earned 7% a year, you’d accumulate about $64,000 by the time your daughter turned 18. With a 529 plan, your earnings grow tax free, provided all withdrawals are used for qualified higher education purposes. (Keep in mind, though, that 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty.) Example 2: Instead of starting to save when your child was 3, you wait 10 years, until she turns 13. You put in the

same $200 per month to a 529 plan that earns the same 7% a year. After five years, when your daughter has turned 18, you will have accumulated slightly less than $15,000. Clearly, there’s a big disparity between $64,000 and $15,000. So, if you don’t want to be in a position where you have to start putting away huge sums of money each month to “catch up” on your college savings, you’ll be well advised to start saving as early as possible — specifically, during the first few years of your child’s life. Of course, given all your other expenses, you may find it challenging to begin putting away money for college. And

with so many years to go until you actually need the money, it’s tempting to put off your savings for another day. But those “other days” can add up — and before you know it, college may be looming. Consequently, you may want to put your savings on “autopilot” by setting up a bank authorization to move money each month into a college savings account. And, as your income rises, you may be able to increase your monthly contributions. Save early, save often: It’s a good strategy for just about any investment goal — and it can make an especially big difference when it comes to paying for the high costs of higher education.

Diverse dialogue is goal of Lion & Lamb Festival By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Organizers predict hundreds of people will attend the ďŹ rst Lion & Lamb Festival on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 at Praise Park in northeast Fort Wayne. St. Joseph UMC, the Young Adult Ministries of the Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church and the confer-

enceâ€™s Social Advocacy Team are partners in the festival. As worship pastor for contemporary worship at St. Joseph, Amy Cox is accustomed to offering praise through music. She will share the story of her own journey as one of the artists at the two-day conference. â€œItâ€™s a weekend of speakers, artists and orga-

nizations sharing their passions, and will focus on issues of peace, justice and hope,â€? Courtesy photo Cox said in Cox an email. â€œIt is an all-ages event, and we hope to bring together a diverse range of voices and people to build community

and create opportunity for conversation.â€? The Fort Wayne festival is the ďŹ rst of its kind. St. Joseph is organizing the festival, but volunteers from other churches are welcome. Cox predicted the festival will draw between 700 and 1,000 people. Contemporary worship, music and tech-savvy ministry will encourage diversity, according to Cox. â€œWe just want the conversation to have all sides,â€? she said in an interview. â€œWhen I describe the festival, the ďŹ rst thing I always say is this is two days where peace and justice and creative arts

intersect.â€? The festival takes its name from the Book of Isaiah, and its prophecies and metaphors of animals existing in harmony. â€œWeâ€™re hoping to build a community of people who are open to a conversation about issues of justice and faith,â€? she said. Brian Durand, the associate director of leadership development for the Indiana Conference, works with the Lion & Lamb planning team. Durand is charged with inspiring and supporting young and new leaders in the 1,200 United Methodist churches in Indiana. Durand said the young

adult ministry designed an initiative with a shared focus. â€œThe ďŹ rst was to educate our churches about the needs of ministry with young adults,â€? he said. â€œWe wanted to encourage and connect young adults to their God-given call.â€? The initiative was developed during a retreat, Durand said. â€œThe result is a program that has a high appeal to young adults, but also appeals to the church universal â€” not just the United Methodist Church,â€? he said. â€œThe second (focus),â€? he said, â€œwas around the justice and mission issues that help everyone plug into where God is calling them to be â€” a witness in the world.â€? They created the Lion & Lamb Festival and website and began to think of speakers and artists who would take part in that authentic conversation and reďŹ‚ect the issues of spirituality and justice, he said. The festival will not be held at the church itself, but at a church ministry â€” Praise Park â€” at 5396 St. Joe Center Road. The park features an amphitheater, a quarter-mile walking track around a pond, and ďŹ elds that will become space for worship and conversation during the festival. Registration is $65, and can be completed online. Exhibitor information also is available at lionandlambfestival.com. Cox said Rachel Held Evans, the author of â€œA Year of Biblical Womanhood,â€? will be the main speaker. The best-seller focuses on a yearlong journey to explore and live out scripture. Other speakers and artists will visit from across the country. Main stage artists include singer/songwriters Andrew Peterson, Heatherlynn and Cox.

Parkview to upgrade Randallia campus By Rick Farrant rfarrant@kpcmedia.com

Parkview Health President and CEO Mike Packnett can’t recall a time in his seven years leading the organization when there was any serious consideration given to closing Parkview Hospital Randallia near downtown Fort Wayne. It was more a matter of not knowing “what the exact mission was going to be at Randallia,” he said. “The size. The scope. The number of rooms that we would use.” But there was plenty of concern in the neighborhoods around the one-time ﬂagship of the Parkview Health system — enough concern, Councilman Tom Smith recalled, that a group of citizens and businesses was formed to discuss the hospital’s future with Parkview ofﬁcials. That concern was elevated when Parkview Health announced it would build the sprawling Parkview Regional Medical Center at the northern edge of Fort Wayne — a center that opened in March 2012 and absorbed some of the specialty medical services once housed at Parkview Hospital Randallia. Since then and even before the regional medical

center’s opening, Parkview Health worked to redeﬁne Parkview Hospital Randallia’s mission and on July 8 began construction of the most outward sign yet that Randallia isn’t going anywhere: a $3.2 million project that includes a new entrance, park, courtyard and campus signs. The project, said Parkview Hospital Randallia Vice President of Operations Ben Miles, “seals our promise that we’re here to stay.” The project is expected to be completed by December. The exterior changes are largely cosmetic, but both Packnett and Miles said the improvements will create a more inviting environment — one they hope is not only used by patients and their families but also members of the community looking for a place to relax.

“I remember when I ﬁrst came to town seven years ago,” Packnett said. “I heard loud and clear that people wanted this facility to remain open, and they saw it as the anchor point for a number of neighborhoods. “… We could see in their faces and hear in their voices that this had been an important part of their lives for almost 60 years and would continue to be so.” Miles and Sue Ehinger, president of Parkview Hospital and afﬁliates, said Parkview Health has already added numerous enhancements inside the hospital. Among them, opening: Parkview BridgeWays, an inpatient geriatric psychiatric care unit; a continuing care center for seniors; and absorbing Vibra Hospital, a long-term acute care facility. More additions are on the way, including a

Parkview Center on Aging and Health, which will use evidence-based medicine to improve patient outcomes, and a Parkview Center for Wound Healing aimed at reducing the healing time for patients with conditions such as diabetic, venous and arterial ulcers, and ostomy-related skin problems. “We stayed true to our commitment to expand our key assets,” Ehinger said. “A community hospital providing primary care and acute care services, along with rehabilitation. “Over this past year,” she said, “we’ve invested nearly $3 million in these clinical services. We’re really taking these assets and leveraging them into a dynamic place of health and wellness and creating an even broader economic development opportunity.”

SetonFest celebrates church, community By Garth Snow

SetonFest 2013

gsnow@kpcmedia.org

The 2013 SetonFest marks an Aboite Township church’s 21st year of celebrating community while raising money for charity. Festivities begin with an adult evening from 8-11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, at the northeast corner of Aboite Center Road and Homestead Road. The Seton Miracle Miles 5K Run/ Walk steps off at 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 10. Family-oriented activities begin at 3 p.m., and continue until 10 p.m. A fireworks show begins at dusk. The church itself celebrates its 25th year in 2013. The first festivals were organized a few years later, to fund the youth group’s travel to West Virginia for a Habitat for Humanity project. “It has evolved into an annual festival where our pastor designates a charitable event, and then we have fun, and we give away any money that we raise,” said Toni Blaettner, who is serving her third year as festival chairperson. Past beneficiaries have

included organizations such as the Franciscan Center. “This year’s festival proceeds will go to the seminarian fund,” Blaettner said. “We have four young men who have stepped forward in the last couple of years, and this is our way of supporting them.” “We keep nothing other than a small start-up fund for the following year. Other than that, we give it all away,” Blaettner said. The festival unites volunteers within the church, but also strengthens ties with the surrounding community, Blaettner said. “Our tagline for our

festival is called ‘the celebration of us.’ ” she said. “We are celebrating our being in the Aboite community. We have banners around the property to announce the event and welcome the community. Really, we’re just celebrating being in the Aboite community for 25 years.” Blaettner chairs a committee of 15 people, who orchestrate the efforts of more than 250 volunteers. “We have a lot of people who give of their time and their talents to make it happen,” she said. “I call them our unsung heroes. And the greatest unsung

heroes are the spouses of our committee members, because inevitably they spend a lot of time helping us out as well.” “My family has been involved for as long as I have,” she said. “This is my favorite committee I’ve ever been on, and the reason I continue to lead it is because it’s a dedicated committee and I can rely on them to do what they say they will, and it all

Sycamore Hills ďŹ ts tour to a â€˜teeâ€™ By Rick Farrant rfarrant@kpcmedia.com

Hotel Fitness Championship ticket sales are rising, vendors are lining up, hotel registrations are building, and the list of volunteers approaches the goal of 800. The biggest challenge now for Duke Butler IV is persuading any remaining skeptics that the tournament at Sycamore Hills Golf Club Aug. 26 to Sept. 1 will feature some of the best professional golfers in the world. The championship, a sanctioned PGA Tour event with a $1 million purse, is one of four Web. com Tour Finals competitions that will have a major role in 50 players earning Professional Golf Association Tour playing privileges for the 2013-14 season. Competing will be 140 to 150 players, including the top 75 Web. com Tour competitors and some of the PGA golfers ranked 126th through 200 in the FedEx points standings.

Butler, the local tournamentâ€™s director through the host Western Golf Association, doesnâ€™t know yet which PGA golfers will compete, but he noted that â€œthe level of golf between the PGA Tour and the Web.com Tour is barely noticeable.â€? â€œThey can all play,â€? he said. â€œThis isnâ€™t a small tournament. This is a big-time event.â€? Said Bruce Dye, CEO of title sponsor Hotel Fitness: â€œI donâ€™t think anyone really understands whatâ€™s coming to Fort Wayne in 60 days. Itâ€™s going to be a lot of fun.â€? Playersâ€™ fortunes aside, the stakes are high for the Fort Wayne area, which is scheduled to have the tournament for the next three years. If all goes well, Butler said, 30,000 to 40,000 people will attend the event this year during its run and the projected economic impact for the region will be $4 million to $5 million. Moreover, the region will be exposed to more

than 180 countries around the world through TV coverage on the Golf Channel. Kevin Feldman, director of sales and marketing for Hotel Fitness, said putting Fort Wayne in the spotlight and helping drive the local economy were the principal reasons for backing the tournament. He acknowledged that Fort Wayne-based Hotel Fitness could gain some brand awareness from the event, â€œbut I donâ€™t think that was the primary goal. Itâ€™s really philanthropic in nature.â€? Dye agreed: â€œThe championship is going to showcase, both nationally and internationally, Fort Wayneâ€™s many assets, especially the people and businesses that make up this community.â€? Dye, whose sponsoring company is a division of Brigadoon Fitness and sells commercial ďŹ tness equipment to hotels, said he also wants to showcase the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course. â€œAs an investor in Syca-

more Hills,â€? he said, â€œwe want to see the course continue to be recognized as a well-known championship venue.â€? Butler, a former University of Florida golfer whose father worked for the PGA Tour, said Sycamore stacks up nicely against other courses played by PGA Tour professionals. â€œThis is going to be one of the nicest golf courses these tour pros are going to see the entire year,â€? Butler said. â€œThe majority of them are going to fall in love with the place.â€? Web.com Tour standout Mark Anderson, who played on the PGA Tour last year and recently visited Sycamore Hills,

concurred with Butlerâ€™s assessment about the quality of the course. â€œIt has a good feel like a MuirďŹ eld Village (in Dublin, Ohio),â€? Anderson said. â€œIt looks like a great golf course. Itâ€™s hard to tell without playing it, but the rough looks like it might be nasty and youâ€™ll be penalized if you miss the green.â€? Anderson is currently ranked in the top 25 on the 21-event, regular-season Web.com Tour, which means he and 24 others are poised for getting a PGA Tour card for 2013-2014. Another 25 Web.com Tour or current PGA players will earn cards during their play at Sycamore and

three other ďŹ nals in Charlotte, N.C., Columbus, Ohio, and Jacksonville, Fla. Before this year, players could earn PGA Tour cards by going to qualifying school. Tim Benton, vice president of tournament business affairs for the PGA Tour, said qualifying school now merely gets players on the Web.com Tour, which in turn becomes the pathway to the PGA. Even Web.com players who have already achieved eligibility for their PGA cards will play at Sycamore, Benton said, because they will want to improve their rankings heading into PGA competition. â€œItâ€™s really a new era for the Web.com Tour,â€? said Benton, a native of Richmond and graduate of DePauw University. â€œAnd all of us at PGA Tour headquarters are excited to be coming to Fort Wayne.â€? The four-round Web. com Tour ďŹ nals competition will be preceded by two charity events: the Mad Anthonyâ€™s Pro-Am on Aug. 26 and the Chick Evans Memorial Pro-Am Aug. 28. Golf Channel coverage of the Web.com tourney is scheduled for: 3-5 p.m. Aug. 29; 12:30-2:30 p.m. Aug. 30; 1-3 p.m. Aug. 31; and 5-7 p.m. Sept. 1. Butler said heâ€™s lining up more sponsors and food vendors, and will get grandstands and hospitality venues built.

Festival food a big part of Huntertown’s celebration By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Fried ﬁsh, pork tenderloins and elephant ears are a tradition at the Huntertown Heritage Days, according to Barb Wagner.

The second vice president of the Huntertown Lions Club said the food was part of the festival even before she started volunteering about 15 years ago. “It’s always been kind

of special here in the Huntertown area,” she said. “And all the money that we make off anything we do goes back into our community.” The food trailer will sell more than a hundred

elephant ears — “I hope a couple hundred” — during the festival, Aug. 2 and 3. “We’re pretty well known for our elephant ears,” she said. “We got our recipe from one of the older Lions members.”

That member was Darrell Hoot, a Huntertown native who died in July 2012 at age 90. Hoot helped to start the Lions’ food service. “He was kind of our mentor,” Wagner said. Each elephant ear costs $3.50. “It’s pretty good sized,” Wagner said. The food trailer also offers hamburgers, tenderloins and cheesy fries. Those options are in

addition to one of the trademarks of the festival — the Lions’ Friday night ﬁsh and tenderloin dinner. “If you’ve never been to one of ours, it’s really a neat deal. It really is,” Wagner said. Jenny McComb, a festival volunteer, said the Lions Club is important to the community. “They do a lot to help our festival,” she said.

Harlan Days continues, with music, food, games By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

The three-day celebration that brings visitors to Harlan Community Park once a year raises money to support that park yearround. The 66th annual festival began Aug. 1 and continues through Aug. 3. â€œItâ€™s actually the only fundraiser that we do to help maintain the park for the kids, and we rely on the proceeds of the festival every year to take care of the buildings and grounds,â€? said Sally Lake, the vice president of the Harlan

Community Association. This yearâ€™s festival theme is â€œHaving Fun and Helping Others,â€? Lake said. â€œWe are asking those that come to the fair to bring a nonperishable food item to help replenish the Harlan Food Pantry. With the economy being down, so the need for charity is up.â€? The Harlan United Methodist Church houses the food pantry. â€œItâ€™s very important that the community come together and help make this successful,â€? Lake said. â€œIt takes a lot of hands.â€? Visitors will come

from a radius that includes Fort Wayne and Antwerp, Ohio, she said. â€œWe also have a craft tent and a commercial tent for businesses to rent booth space,â€? she said. â€œWeâ€™ve got a lot going on for a three-day event.â€? A cornhole tournament begins Friday and continues Saturday. Carnival rides, the midway and commercial tent, the craft tent and bingo continue through much of the festival. The food tent will serve bratwurst sandwiches and pork chop sandwiches Friday evening.

At 5 p.m. Friday, registration and weigh-in begin or a street-legal truck pull, which begins at 7. Recording artist Bekah Bradley and her band take the stage from 7-10 p.m. Saturdayâ€™s celebration begins at 7 a.m. with an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast at the shelter house, sponsored by North Scipio Methodist Church. The Harlan Hustle

Inaugural 5K Fun Run begins at 7 a.m. The registration deadline was July 15. The parade steps off at 10 a.m. The food tent opens at 11, serving barbecue chicken prepared by the Harlan Lions Club.

Spoltman said the first race attracted about 200 runners, and the goal this year is 350 runners. “We’ve had very positive feedback. Everybody enjoys it; it’s a very nice course, flat, marked well,” she said. Most runners will be church members, she said, but “anybody is

welcome. The more the better.” “It’s our one walk, and it’s part of a festival, so we encourage families to come out for the entire festival. And this is a way we can give back to charity, just to give back as a community.” The race took in about $1,300 its first year and has grown to raise about $5,000 each of the past two years, Spoltman said. The USA Track & Field-certified race steps off from the Summit Middle School parking lot. Registration is on church property, but runners will be escorted across the street for safety reasons. The course continues through the school parking lot and into Indian Trails Park, then into Kekionga Shores, around the lake, and back to Indian Trails Park and past the Jorgensen YMCA. A police officer will be present to escort runners across Aboite Center Road. Spoltman said she ran cross country and track in high school, in Evansville. “As part of that we would always do 5Ks for fun,” she said. “So my friends and I would find a 5K on the weekend.” She said she asked the Seton festival committee whether they had considered adding a race to the festival, and the committee gave her the go-ahead.

Spoltman still enjoys running in Fort4Fitness and other local runs. Spoltman said organizers of the first race envisioned another charity, but the pastor suggested they serve more people by donating to the soup kitchen. “I have a great group of people who come out every year,” she said. “My family is huge in volunteering.” “A big part of our mission is stewardship and charity and tithing, and this is a way we can give back,” she said. “We don’t keep anything we make from the race.” Church members volunteer regularly at the downtown soup kitchen, she said. Blaettner, the festival chairperson, said there is no easy way to predict or calculate attendance. “So the way we gauge attendance is just by what we make,” she said. “Last year we were unable to have fireworks because of the drought, and we saw attendance drop.” “If it’s sunny, but yet cool, we will have a huge turnout,” she said.

Disc golf popularity expands local tournament By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

The Three Rivers Open disc golf tournament has swelled to two days for 2013. Amateurs will play Saturday, Aug. 17, and professionals will compete Sunday, Aug. 18. An informal doubles event and golf clinic will be held Friday, Aug. 16. All events will be held at Swinney Park. “Last year we had just one day, and it was just too many people to handle on one day so we had to break it up with the amateurs one day and pros on the other,” said Brian Miller, a local disc golf professional and

Park, Moser Park in New Haven, and East and West Swinney. Other players are welcome, too. “Last year we had 92

These notable PGA TOUR professionals pictured got their start on the Web.com Tour. The Hotel Fitness Championship, a Web.com Tour Finals event, will feature the next generation of golf stars competing on the path to the PGA TOUR. Witness players from the Web.com Tour and PGA TOUR veterans as they battle for 50 PGA TOUR cards for the 2013-14 season. That makes the inaugural Hotel Fitness Championship an unprecedented opportunity to experience championship golf at its best right here in Fort Wayne.

year,” Miller said. Shoaff Park in effect has two courses, because of the short tees and the long tees. The Fort Wayne Department of Parks and Recreation recently authorized another course. “We just got permission to put in a course at Tillman Park on the south side of Fort Wayne,” Miller said. “We haven’t done much work yet, but we’re pretty excited about it.” “Our disc golf club is growing by leaps and bounds. It’s really growing in popularity,” Miller said. The Three Rivers Open tees off Friday, with a bringyour-partner doubles event. Professionals and amateurs will tee off anytime from noon to 5 p.m. From 6-8 p.m., Miller and fellow local professionals Jason Smith and Brent Koontz will present a clinic. “It’s for anyone, casual players or people who just want to ﬁnd out about disc golf,” Miller said. “And then on Saturday at Swinney, East and West, all the amateurs will play,” Miller said. “And then on Sunday, all pros will play, using East and West Swinney also.” The ﬁrst round tees off at 10 each morning, and the afternoon round begins at about 2 p.m., depending on the number of entries in the morning round. Jimmy Ray’s Bar-B-Que will serve on site both days. Players pay an entry fee for the tournament, but spectators are admitted free. Amateurs play for funny money to spend on disc golf equipment from the golf club or from one of the title sponsors, Dynamic Discs. The other main sponsor is

B.F. Goodrich. Professionals play for cash, and for points in the statewide standings. The Three Rivers Open is event No. 7 of the Northern Indiana Summer Series. Fort Wayne pro Koontz was 11th in the state standings after six events, although he played in only two of the events up to July 13. Pros also can earn cash from their season performance in the state series. Miller is a touring pro, who plays in about 15 events each year. He will compete as far away as Minnesota or Kansas, wherever he can drive in one day. Miller was one of the rookies of the year in 2008, according to Disc Golf magazine. He enjoys the sponsorship of Dynamic Discs, which he described as one of the leading disc golf retailers. On July 3, he was at the company’s headquarters in Emporia, Kansas, helping to prepare for the amateur world championships. “It will have a huge economic impact for the community,” he said. “So we’re in town visiting family and helping get it ready.” When he returns to Fort Wayne, he will resume organizing and publicizing the Three Rivers Open. “We’d like to invite anyone who’s interested to come and watch the regional professionals on Sunday,” he said. Players may register online at PDGA.com. For more information on the Fort Disc Golf Club, visit fdgc.info or go to Facebook and ﬁnd Fort Disc Golf Club.
