Rotary Club of Fort Wayne President Barb Wachtman, of Aboite Township, wrote a play about the club’s centennial. The club was founded in 1915.

Rotary ﬁrst began uniting civic and business energy in Chicago in 1905. By 1912, the organization had

grown to include clubs in Canada, England and elsewhere. The Fort Wayne club’s ﬁrst See CLUB, Page A12

Rotary Club of Fort Wayne members starred in a historical skit to kick off the club’s centennial celebration. A cast of 13 presented nine scenes from 1912 to 1965. The club retraced its history as part of a regular weekly noon meeting at Parkview Field. Immediate Past President Jeff Krull exited the platform to applause as he portrayed one of the 1912 organizers, Frank Bohn, urging the 1965 50th Anniversary audience to continue seeking the ideals of Rotary. Rotary Choir members echoed the voice of the century of the club that shaped the club, with “Over There,” “Bottle of Wine” and other sound clips.

Fort Wayne gymnast Haylie Hendrickson is ready to vault to NCAAlevel gymnastics. The Homestead High School senior has accepted a fullride athletic scholarship to the University of Arizona. The daughter of Carolynn and Wayne Hendrickson said she will compete in any event in which she is needed. “I’m better at bars and beams, but I do all of them,” she said. “I’m an all-arounder, so they don’t just want me for one thing.” Hendrickson received and accepted the offer after Wildcats coach Bill Ryden watched her practice in December. Mike Comeau is Hendrickson’s coach at Set-10 @ More Than Gymnastics. “I can’t do it without Mike, that’s for sure,” she said. “I wasn’t that good when I came here, and he molded me.” She trains 20 hours

Lent will bring a stringer of fish fries at Roanoke American Legion Post 160. The Legion or a related group holds a fish fry each first Friday of the winter months. And during Lent, the public can count on a fish fry every Friday evening at 1122 N. Main St. Five other local groups share the work and put the profits to work in the community. “They’re very accommodating to the clubs,” said Dave Winters, the secretary of the Roanoke Lions Club. “They give us a regular night for fish fries during the Lenten season. It’s popular for the organizations in the area to get on the calendar at the American Legion. “So everybody knows who’s next, and it all works out.” Bill Dinius, the post commander, said the tradition dates back to before the Legion moved from downtown to its new home

USF to award Graceful Night Out tickets on sale arts scholarships The University of Saint Francis School of Creative Arts will award scholarships to incoming high school seniors on Talent Scholarship Day, Friday, March 6. The event will be from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Mimi and Ian Rolland Center for Art and Visual Communication off Leesburg Road, the Fort Wayne Ballet downtown, and the music technology facilities in the USF North Campus at 2702 Spring St. Talent Scholarship Day gives new USF students who have an interest in art, dance, communication or music the opportunity to submit a portfolio for review and to audition for scholarship consideration. Scholarships are available in art history, music technology, dance, studio art, communication arts and graphic design, art education, computer art, communication, pre-art therapy, theater, jazz ensemble, drum line and the University Singers. Plus, new for 2015, scholarships will be available for the recently announced USF Marching Band. High school juniors are invited to receive reviews and advice in prepara-

tion for their senior year. Awarded scholarships are renewable for eight semesters, if the required grade point average is met, and can be added to any academic scholarships or need-based grants a student might also receive. Appointments are required. To reserve a time or receive further information, contact the School of Creative Arts at (260) 399-7700, ext. 8001. The University of Saint Francis is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2015. Founded in 1890 as a comprehensive university in the Catholic Franciscan tradition, USF offers more than 80 undergraduate and graduate programs through the School of Health Sciences, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Keith Busse School of Business and Entrepreneurial Leadership and School of Creative Arts. In addition to its traditional programs, the university designs focused curriculum for working adults in Fort Wayne, Crown Point, and online. Currently 2,300 students from a broad geographic region attend USF for its academic excellence.

Grace Episcopal Church is accepting reservations for the annual Graceful Night Out, which begins at 5:45 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20. The event is open to the public, and reservations are required. Tickets are $40 and can be reserved by calling Deb Raftree at (260) 229-0237. Grace Episcopal is at 10010 Aurora Place, off Liberty Mills Road. The evening is designed to nurture the minds, bodies and spirits of women. The men of the church serve hearty hors d’oeuvres and sweets, while the women have the opportunity to bid on raffle and silent auction items and enjoy a few pampering stations. After the keynote by Fort Wayne anchorwoman Linda Jackson, the evening will culminate in a live auction. As in years past, one of the auction items is a week’s stay at Waves of Grace, a home on Edisto Beach, S.C., that sleeps up to 10 people. Money raised that evening supports the church, and a portion of the money will go to The Peru Amateur Youth Circus Schol-

arship Fund, which Jackson chose. This fund provides scholarships to graduating seniors who have been circus participants three out of four high school years. Jackson will speak on “Learning to Fly,” a look at her faith, family,

career and her history as a youth performer in the Peru youth circus. Jackson anchors 21 Alive Morning News and produces and anchors 21 Alive at Noon on WPTA. She is a graduate of Indiana University in Bloomington with a bachelor’s

degree in journalism. She is also known for her work with several area nonprofit associations. She has received awards from the Indiana News Photographers Association and Indiana Associated Press, and is a Poynter Institute honors graduate.

Hypnotist to present night of comedy at Cottage The Cottage Event Center in Roanoke will present Indianapolis-based comedy hypnotist T.G. Rivers the evening of Friday, Feb. 20. The event

is a fundraiser for the Huntington County Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins around 7:30. All seats are $10.

The Cottage Event Center is at 9524 U.S. 24 North, Roanoke. Call 483-3508 for ticket information. Riversâ€™ stage show is

: # *

an audience participation presentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to volunteer to be part of the show by agreeing to be hypnotized. Generally about a dozen volunteers are included in a performance. Riversâ€™ website states that anyone with an open mind and appropriate desire can be put into a hypnotic state. The feeling is described as comparable to ďŹ rst waking up in the morning, relaxed but in a slight daydream condition. The volunteers will be guided by Rivers to perform a variety of comedic activities, some-

times including performing while believing they are in fact a famous Rivers celebrity. Habitat for Humanity is a nonproďŹ t, grass-roots Christian organization that builds affordable housing in partnership with families in need. Since its founding in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity has helped build more than half a million homes and served more than 2 million people

in over 3,000 communities around the world. The Huntington County operation is located at 250 Commerce Drive, Huntington. The location is also home to Habitatâ€™s ReStore, selling donated appliances, building supplies, dĂŠcor items and more to raise funds for local Habitat projects. Jean Wright is the executive director. The Cottage Event Center is owned and operated by Hamilton Hospitality Group LLC. For information or to tour the facility, call (260) 414-2015.

HU studentâ€™s initiative leads to outdoor ice rink Huntington University celebrated the ďŹ rst day of the spring semester with the grand opening of its new ice rink. The new portable ice rink covers the outdoor basketball court in front of the Merillat Complex Fieldhouse and will remain in place during the winter months. The Athletics OfďŹ ce has purchased skates as well as hockey sticks and pucks for student use. The ice rink is open for use to Huntington University students, faculty and staff. The Fort Wayne Komets

are the lead sponsor of the new facility, and representing them at the grand opening event were: Kaleigh Schrock, team captain; Mike Embach, lead scorer; Icy D. Eagle, mascot; and Ian Thornson, game operations/account manager. â€œThe Komets are proud to partner with HU on this student-led ice rink project and many other productive and engaging opportunities,â€? said Scott Sproat, executive vice president/ co-owner of the Fort Wayne Komet Hockey Club. â€œBoth

our desire to support the growth of ice sports and our focus to continually improve our greater Fort Wayne community made this a no-brainer for us. Weâ€™re just proud to be a part of the project and look forward to Huntington students gaining a greater appreciation of the joys of hockey and skating outdoors. Many thanks to Huntington University for being exactly the kind of partner that helps us to help the greater Fort Wayne area.â€? Junior Tyson Kali-

schuk, an accounting, business management and economics and ďŹ nance major from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, presented the idea to Student Senate as an entry in the Think Tank competition in November. His ice rink proposal was voted studentsâ€™ favorite idea to improve the campus, and he was awarded $700 to help fund the project. â€œGrowing up in Canada, I frequently went skating and played ice hockey,â€? Kalischuk said. â€œOne of my personal dreams has been

Custom Wood Countertops By J. Aaron Countertops

to have a skating rink on the Huntington University campus that is accessible to all students.â€? Since winning the Think Tank competition, he has embarked on a fundraising campaign for the remaining resources he needed to buy and maintain the ice rink. To date, Kalischuk has raised $6,850, $675 more than the projected amount needed to cover the cost of the ice rink, building materials and sporting equipment. He solicited and received additional funds from

student organizations, including the Student Activities Board and Multicultural Activities Council. Various campus ofďŹ ces, including the Student Life OfďŹ ce, also contributed to the project. In addition, Kalischuk successfully sought outside funds from the Fort Wayne Komets, Beacon Credit Union, MacAllister Rentals and an anonymous donor. â€œThis truly was a student-led, student-executed project,â€? said Mark Schenkel, HUâ€™s director of community relations.

Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo celebrating 50th birthday The Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo turns 50 years old in 2015, and the community is invited to be part of the celebration. “The zoo was built by this community, starting with the schoolchildren who donated pennies to build Monkey Island back in 1965,” said Zoo Director Jim Anderson. “Since then, thousands of families and businesses have donated funds to create everything you see at the zoo.” More than 20 million people have visited the zoo since it opened on July 3, 1965, and more than $32 million has been donated for capital projects. “The zoo’s 50th birthday celebration is our way of thanking the community for ﬁve decades of outstanding support,” Anderson said. The zoo invites the community to submit photos of their families enjoying the zoo. Photos

Fans may submit photos before Feb. 28 by posting them to the zoo’s social media accounts, emailing them to communications@kidszoo. org, or bringing prints to the zoo, where they will be scanned and returned.

The 50th birthday celebration will continue all season long. Highlights will include a “Happy Birthday to Zoo” Party on July 1 with performances by local youth choirs; a giant birthday card for zoo guests to sign; appearances by the zoo’s new mascot at community events; partnerships with the Three Rivers Festival and Fort Wayne TinCaps; paw prints painted on roads leading to the zoo this summer; signs showing “Then & Now” zoo photos; a nature scavenger hunt for kids; contests on social media; an expanded zoo history section on the zoo’s website; and more. Commemorative merchandise will be available in the zoo’s Wild Things Gift Shop all season. “The support of our community has made the zoo the world class facility we are today,” Anderson said. “We’re excited to share

50 years of zoo memories as we continue to grow the zoo for the next generation of kids and families.”

The zoo opens for the 2015 season on April 25. The zoo’s 50th birthday is sponsored by Sweetwater,

Gathering recalls rights campaign By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Louise Smith said Richard Swanson was the appropriate choice for keynote speaker of the MLK Unity Day in Fort Wayne. Thatâ€™s not just because Swanson is the ďŹ rst white keynote speaker in the 30-year history of Unity Day, she said. It is because Swanson is a veteran of the civil rights struggle. Beyond that service, Swanson is a friend, Smith said. Swanson and family were part of a record 220 people attending the seventh annual Breakfast With the Clergy at the Downtown Marriott. He later would deliver the main address at the related Unity Day across Jefferson Boulevard at the Grand Wayne Center. Both events are sponsored by the MLK Club Inc., of Fort Wayne. Smith is a board member and civil rights coordinator for the club. Swanson, of Seattle, worked with Louise Smith and her husband George Smith in the Freedom Summer voter registration campaign in Mississippi in the summer of 1964. Swanson spent weeks in jail. Three rights advocates were killed that summer. George Smith was among the honorees at the 2013 Unity Day. He died that same spring. Swansonâ€™s race was not an unimportant criteria in

the selection, Smith said. â€œI thought that the time is right,â€? she said. Swanson would speak from an important experience, she said. Smith and Swanson hugged moments before the breakfast program got under way. â€œGeorge and I spent two summers together working for civil rights in Mississippi,â€? Swanson said. â€œHe was kind of my mentor and my guardian when I was down there. â€œI canâ€™t express enough how honored I feel to have people say such nice things about me. I talked at a church yesterday and choked up a little bit, and hopefully I wonâ€™t choke up too much when I speak today. Even though it was 50 years ago the memories

are still pretty strong.â€? Swansonâ€™s son Josh from Seattle and son Jason from Orlando brought their own children to join Richard at the breakfast. â€œI wouldnâ€™t miss it,â€? Josh said. â€œI look it as a once-ina-lifetime opportunity.â€? â€œMy dad told us the stories about Mississippi and Georgia,â€? Josh said. â€œI was able to go down three or four years ago to Mississippi with him. That was the ďŹ rst time he had been back in Mississippi in 47 years. So I was able to visualize ďŹ nally all of the stories.â€? The Rev. Anthony Payton, the pastor of Come As You Are Ministries, offered the inspirational message at the breakfast. â€œIâ€™m going to talk about the life and legacy of Dr. King within the context of his

Shop Scott Road

leadership from that era and how that is needed today,â€? he said in an interview. â€œI believe that his leadership provided courage to face the troubles of that day, and we need that courage and conviction today.â€? The Rev. Roger Reece, president of The Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County, offered the invocation and benediction. He cited King as an example of how much good can be accomplished by one individual. Admission to the Unity Day celebration at the Grand Wayne Center was free for the ďŹ rst time. The event continued until 4 p.m. The eighth annual Breakfast With the Clergy and 31st annual Unity Day are scheduled for Monday, Jan. 18, 2016.

The international service outreach included coordinating funding for a middle school in Togo, West Africa. The club will erect a 22-foot Rotary Club of Fort Wayne Centennial Tower in the fall of 2015 on

FISH from Page A1 the churches, and Boy Scouts, that didnâ€™t have a facility large enough to put on the ďŹ sh fries,â€? he said. â€œAnd weâ€™ve pretty much continued on with that through the years, and try to help the community and give back a little bit.â€? â€œAnd we provide whatever help we can,â€? he said. â€œOccasionally someone will offer to help with the frying of the ďŹ sh.â€? â€œEverybody does their ďŹ sh fry a little different,â€? said Dennis Boyer, the assistant scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 302. â€œThe American Legion just gives us a facility to do this, so we can decide our price and try to give a good quality of meal.â€? â€œWe have baked potatoes and french fries and coleslaw or applesauce,â€? said Bev Swaim, whose daughter, Amy Packett, does the cooking for the American Legion Auxiliary. â€œAnd when the Auxiliary does it, we have hush puppies.â€? The Auxiliary dinners feature pollock, with serving from 5 p.m.-7:30 p.m., with tickets $9 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under. Hours, menus and prices might vary among the organizations sponsoring ďŹ sh fries. The Lions Club ďŹ sh fry on March 13 will serve from 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Tickets are $9 for adults, $4 for ages 12 and under if accompanied by someone buying an adult meal. Advance tickets are $8 and are available from club members, including Mat Quickery at Bippus State Bank. â€œItâ€™s all-you-can-eat ďŹ sh,â€? Winters said. â€œWe bread it and fry it right here in the kitchen at the American Legion. The desserts â€” cakes and pies â€” are a free-will donation.â€? â€œThis is an opportunity for us to raise some money, to help the Boy Scouts with the costly equipment like camping equipment,â€? Boyer said. â€œItâ€™s just a good way for the community to give us a hand and push us forward.â€? The Roanoke Kiwanis Club, Faith Lutheran Church and Saint Joseph Catholic Church also hold ďŹ sh fries at the Legion during Lent. â€œWe have so many people down there who have different skills as far as cooking goes,â€? Dinius said. â€œItâ€™s just amazing how theyâ€™ll step up and volunteer.â€? â€œThey have a lady down there, and if they wish it she makes the best coleslaw that I ever tasted,â€? Dinius said of Lynn Claybaugh. â€œAnd some people say the reason they come down to the ďŹ sh fry is because of their coleslaw.â€? â€œThey reserve the reception hall to rent from us. They will let us know what their needs are, so weâ€™ll order the ďŹ sh for them, and then we have the plates and

INfortwayne.com â€˘ A13

the silverware and napkins and tarter sauce,â€? Dinius said. â€œAnd whatever they use they keep track of it and pay for it.â€? Dinners are scheduled each Friday, Feb. 20 through April 3 and again May 1. For hours and details, call (260) 672-2298. â€œAbout a week or so after the the last winter ďŹ sh fry, the Auxiliary will do a Swiss steak dinner,â€? Dinius said. â€œThatâ€™s just kind of a tradition. Everyoneâ€™s kind

of ďŹ shed out.â€? Boyer, of the Boy Scouts, said the troop draws from Huntington North High School, as well as Homestead, Norwell and North Side high schools. Boyer began helping with the ďŹ sh fries when his son, Logan, was in Cub Scouts, in the sixth grade. Logan is now a Boy Scout and a senior at Huntington North. â€œThe American Legion has been really good about helping us,â€? he said.

â€œItâ€™s kind of an annual event for the Roanoke Lions Club to have their ďŹ sh fry at the Legion,â€? Winters said. â€œWe provide manpower for cooking, kitchen prep during the event, and well as the serving and cleanup during and after. The Legion goes ahead and purchases the ďŹ sh and some of the other supplies that we will need. So it all works out.â€? The ďŹ sh fry helps the Lions Club to support local

projects, Winters said. â€œWe support the Northeast Indiana Honor Flight, which is right here at the American Legion. We also strongly support the library. We help with the Roanoke BeautiďŹ cation Foundation, and then through the summer months we are part of the farmersâ€™ market,â€? he said. When Post 160 is not hosting a public dinner, Legion members still will ďŹ nd some good food at the

Legion, Dinius said. â€œIf youâ€™re down there Wednesdays, odds are Iâ€™m going to be there cooking wings,â€? he said. â€œWe have a couple people on Thursdays who cook some really killer sliders.â€? Many Legion members cook Mexican food, or chili, to serve to Legion members. â€œYou name it, they make it,â€? Dinius said. â€œThey wonâ€™t take any money. Itâ€™s their way to give back to the post.â€?

What Do Low Oil Prices Mean for Investors? As you’ve no doubt noticed, your trips to the gas station have been a lot more pleasant these past several months. There’s not much doubt that low oil prices have been welcome to you as a driver. But when oil is cheap, is that good for you as an investor? There’s no clear-cut answer. But consider the following effects of low oil prices: • Positive impact on economy — When you spend less at the gas pump, relative to recent years, what will you do with your savings? Like most people, you’ll probably spend most of it on goods and services. If you multiply the amount of your increased spending by the millions of other Americans who are also

saving money on gas, you can see that you and your fellow consumers are likely adding billions of dollars to the economy. Typically, a strong economy is also good for the ﬁnancial markets — and for the people who invest in them. • Different results for different sectors — Different sectors within the ﬁnancial markets may respond in different ways to low oil prices, even if the overall effect is generally positive. For example, businesses such as consumer goods companies and auto manufacturers may respond favorably to cheaper oil and gas. But the picture might be quite a bit different for energy companies.

You could spend a lot of time and effort trying to adjust your investment portfolio in response to low oil prices. In fact, you may well want to consult with your financial professional to determine which moves might make sense for your individual situation. Yet there’s actually a bigger lesson to be learned here: Don’t overreact to temporary developments. The recent decline in oil prices has certainly had an economic impact, but no one can predict how long these prices will stay low or what other factors may arise that would affect the financial markets. That’s why you can’t reconfigure your portfolio based on particular events, whatever they may be — oil price drops, interest-rate fluctuations,

political squabbles at home, natural disasters in faraway lands, and so on. If you can keep from being overly influenced by specific events, you may be able to gain at least two key benefits: First, by not making trades constantly in reaction to the headlines of the day, you can avoid piling up heavy fees and commissions —costs that can reduce the return rate on your investments. Second, you’ll find that if you aren’t always thinking about what’s going on in the world today, you can focus your investment efforts more intensely on where you want to be tomorrow. The most successful investors set long-term goals and don’t focus on factors they cannot control, such as oil

prices, interest-rate changes or other economic events. Instead, these investors make adjustments, as necessary, to accommodate changes in their goals as well as other changes, such as revisions in tax laws — but they basically stick to their same approach for the long term. So be aware of low oil prices, but don’t get so “pumped” about them that you sludge up your consistent investment strategy — because that strategy has the energy to keep you moving toward your important objectives.

Water service takes shape

PHOTO BY GARTH SNOW

A City Utilities water line takes shape along Branstrator Road, to link Airport Expressway and Liberty Mills Road. Last week, crews had completed about 6,000 feet of the project, which will measure 14,000 feet. Utilities spokesman Frank Suarez said a separate project for water mains on Bass Road has cleared the Board of Works and is headed to the City Council. The rest of the former Aqua Indiana water service area is projected to be converted to city water this year.

Gymnasts to compete at Northrop By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

About 650 gymnasts from three states will compete Feb. 21 and 22 at Northrop High School. Young women ages 6 to 18 from Indiana, Michigan and Ohio will participate in the Walk of Fame Classic. The event is sponsored by Set-10@More Than Gymnastics, and is a qualifying event for the Indiana finals of USA Gymnastics. Events run from approximately 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day. Admission is $7 for adults, $3 for children. Coach and co-owner Mike Comeau explained that Set-10@More Than Gymnastics is a not-forprofit traveling gymnastics program at a for-profit business. Comeau and Kristen Hines run the program and own the business. They invest themselves in each girl’s success. “It makes each day coming into work easier because you know you’re working toward something not just for yourself, but for them too,” Hines said.

Abigail Mathison, from left, Cami Peele and Sarah Coolidge practice their Level 4 routine at More than Gymnastics.

Hines was a Set-10 gymnast, who graduated from Homestead High School. “I went to IU and came back coaching here and I ended up buying the gym with Mike,” she said. “You coach because you love it,” Comeau said. “You coach because it’s not how we feel, it’s watching the kids. When you go to a meet and you see them do the routine that they’re

capable of and you see the joy in their face. You don’t think about how it makes you feel.” Comeau earned his gymnastics credentials as an All American at Springﬁeld College in Massachusetts, then went on to coach at the University of Rhode Island and the University of Western Michigan. He said students quickly

forget a weak performance. “The coaches, though, it sticks with you,” he said. “When you see the disappointment on their face, it makes you want to work harder in the gym, because you don’t want to see that disappointment in the next competition. You want to see that joy from being successful.” See GYM, Page B4

A composer and baritone singer accustomed to the international stage will return to Fort Wayne on Saturday, Feb. 21, to direct the Chancel Choir of Trinity English Lutheran Church. Philip Lawson will direct a program of sacred, folk and pop music beginning at 7 p.m. at the church at 405 W. Wayne St. A free-will offering will be accepted. Lawson, who lives in Salisbury, England, sang with The King’s Singers for 18 years. He later served as the acappella ensemble’s principal arranger, contributing to the 2008 Grammy-winning album “Simple Gifts.” Lawson will visit the United States for a series of workshops and for the premiere of a recent composition.

Waynedale woman shares Looking for a treat to give blankets ‘made with love’ Swe your etheart this V alentine’s D

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Loretta Loy has lost count of how many blankets she has created for area children, but 3,000 is a pretty good guess. The retired Waynedale school bus driver has been sewing Nana’s Creations blankets since 2005. How many blankets has she created? “People keep asking me that,” she said. The answer is in the labels. She orders them in batches of 125, and her supplier recently told her that she has bought about 3,125 labels with her personal message: “Nana’s blankets, made with love and imperfections.” She donated 45 “Blankets of Comfort” to prekindergarten pupils at New Haven Elementary School. Principal Danielle Newman welcomed the donation. Pupils in Mary Menze’s class soon wrapped their new gifts around their shoulders and posed for photos. “The kids were truly excited to have their own presents,” Menze said. “They had wonderful

describing words — soft, cuddly, snuggley. They were excited to take them home and show their family. One kid says he wasn’t going to let his brother use his shoes on it. But they were excited about the blankets.” The blankets are made to be washed. Giving away blankets is not a short-cut to wealth, Loy admitted. “You don’t get rich doing it, except inside yourself,” Loy said in a separate interview. “But it’s sure lots of fun.” Sponsors often help to defray the cost of materials. Beacon Credit Union recently donated

$500 toward Loy’s work. “This is for whatever I want to do,” she said. “I do have a couple schools that I want to visit again this year.” Beacon also helped pay for the New Haven project, sharing the cost with New Haven Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Charlie Hatten. The Southside Optimist Club is among Loy’s regular supporters. And cash donations can be made to Nana’s Creations accounts at Beacon locations or at 1st Source Bank. Offers of See LOVE, Page B2

Eligible preschoolers are as young as 3. “I just thought it would be a great comfort to those little ones to have their own blanket,” Loy said. “The blankets have cartoon characters, and on the back it is ﬂeece with satin across the top.” The dimensions usually are 43 inches by 50 inches. “I have to have something to do, you know,” Loy said. “But this is not about me, this is about the comfort of the children, and it’s about the people who donate the fabric to do that.” She also has donated some blankets to fami-

After giving up her shop on Bluffton Road, Loy said, she began to make blankets and give them to the fire department, to give to children at fire scenes. “And I decided I’d go right to the children instead of through the fire department. They’re so busy anyway. And it’s easier to find more children this way,” she said in a separate interview. She wants the schoolchildren to take the blankets home, she said,

Dr. David Reichwage and Team at Fort Wayne Smiles

Offering Strickland Facelift Dentures® To Fort Wayne and Area Patients Fort Wayne- Dr. David Reichwage and the Team at Fort Wayne Smiles recently added a new denture technique to their cosmetic and laser dentistry practice. This innovative procedure creates beautiful and natural looking dentures with increased stability and comfort to denture wearers through a sophisticated process that pays careful attention to each patient’s unique physiology of chewing and facial characteristics. Traditional dentures often cause that dreaded “denture look”. This includes characteristics such as: the lips appear thin and roll inward, sunken face and wrinkles, teeth that are hidden and front teeth that are too short and back teeth that are too long, a shortened face, a weak chin. Dr. David Reichwage’s Strickland Facelift Denture technique offers new dentures that are created with an adept eye for aesthetics, rejuvenating patient appearances with facelift-quality results. Dr. David Reichwage and the Fort Wayne Smiles team received training from Dr. Rod Strickland, the author of the new technique, giving them insight into the causes of denture pain, and the collapsed appearance of many denture wearers faces. The Team at Fort Wayne Smiles is able to help patients who have been wearing dentures for years or who are looking for their first denture.

Joy Zirille’s daughter Gianna, age 10, will compete at Northrop, but already has qualified for the Indiana finals of USA Gymnastics. In the younger classes, each girl in the state performs the same routine to the same floor music, Zirille explained. “And at Level 6 it’s optional, and that’s where they start marking their own routines and add a little more personality and show their skills,” she said.

LOCAL from Page B1 Saints Sunday in 2000. Trinity commissioned Lawson to compose a work for the church choral series in 2004. “Who Are These Like Stars Appearing” is one of 17 works commissioned by Trinity to date. “We were fortunate,” Hobby said. “He was working on a composition, which initiated a whole conversation because of my interests. And we’ve just remained acquaintances for these years. It was fun to have that connection.” John Whittlesey, who has performed with the Boston Lyric Opera and more than a dozen other groups, also will visit Trinity, to sing the baritone parts in Vaughan Williams’ “Five Mystical

Songs.” “And then lo an behold my connection with John goes back to college days,” Hobby said. Both Hobby and Whittlesey graduated from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. “It’s the whole idea of music-making, but also music being the vehicle to pull people together in their friendships and enjoy the opportunities that come along,” Hobby said. Whittlesey now lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Trinity guests will enjoy an eclectic program, Hobby said. “We will have everything from the serious, traditional stuff, the processional for the royal wedding, so very British,” Hobby said. “He will conduct all of

that and then even music from Bread and Toto. It’s kind Whittlesey of a different experience for the choir. We’ve done some pop stuff, but not in the presence of the arranger. So it will be kind of a hoot.” The program is not yet final, Hobby said, adding, “There’s definitely something for everyone.” The King’s Singers was founded in 1968 at King’s College, Cambridge, England. The six-man ensemble will visit 12 U.S. cities in 16 days. Their program nearest Fort Wayne will be 7:30-

9:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20, at Kresge Auditorium, DePauw School of Music, Greencastle. Tickets, if still available, will be $15 at the door.
