Fort Wayne City Utilities water service will extend north to Aboite Center Road on March 12, officials said Feb. 23. Homestead High School, Summit Middle School and Jorgensen Family YWCA are part of that extended service area. City leaders said 4,500 former Aqua Southwest customers had begun receiving city water as of Feb. 23 and pledged that all 13,000 customers in the former Aqua Southwest service area will receive city water by September. Mayor Tom Henry led a news conference at Lutheran Hospital, where he was joined by Lutheran Health Network and Lutheran Hospital CEO Brian Bauer. Henry said work has been completed on Phase 2 of the Aqua Southwest conversion. “I think more than anything they’ve asked for and we’re now

giving them good quality of water, water which has good pressure, and is reliable,” he said. “Those were the three components of the entire negotiations with Aqua Southwest all along. That is certainly now coming their way.” Bauer said Lutheran
Hospital uses 3 million gallons of water each month. “I don’t know how much [water] anyone else uses, but I bet we’re one of the highest utilizers of it,” Bauer said. “We do amazing work here. We transplant hearts, we’re
a trauma center, we take care of babies that are born at 21 and 22 weeks. We have great technology. But one of the most important things in life and health care is a basic human need, and that’s See WATER, Page A13
Masonic Lodge 195 opened its doors Feb. 21 to show Roanoke what’s new at the top of the Main Street staircase. Lodge leaders Matt Outten and Jeff Cartwright were equally proud of what is not new on the second floor of the century-old brick building. “It’s just an unbelievable building in the sense that in 1915, when this was built, the woodwork was exactly as it is now,” said Outten, one of the younger members and the worshipful master of Lodge 195. “If you look at the pictures before and after, it has stood the test of time. Not much has changed. So I think that’s really the significance for me. In this day when lots of things are cleared and rebuilt from scratch over and over again, we’ve got this building in the same state that it was when it

And here’s a picture from the dedication ceremony. And we’ve got the same pillars, obviously the same ceiling, the same furnishings. They’ve added a padded area around the altar.

Guests may bid on a silent auction between trips to sample Taste of Waynedale on March 24 at the Mount Calvary Family Life Center.
Taste of Waynedale adds new restaurants, charity It’s just a Taste of Waynedale, but guests will need trays to hold their samples from at least 21 local restaurants and businesses. So trays they will have, said Camille Garrison, the marketing director for the
event’s sponsor, Kingston Residence of Fort Wayne. “Who would have known when we started that it would grow so big?” Garrison said. The Fort Wayne get-together and fundraiser has grown in both size and mission in its seven years. The Kingston event outgrew its own
Winchester Road home in 2014. “So we moved over to the Family Life Center, which is huge,” Garrison said. “And they have seating.” Mount Calvary Family Life Center is at 1819 Reservation Drive. Hours are 4:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, See TASTE, Page A4

Music educator Kittaka to receive Tapestry honor Teacher, musician and community activist Dorothy Kittaka is the 2015 Dedication Award honoree at Tapestry: A Day for You. The event will be held Friday, April 24, at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, 4000 Parnell Ave., Fort Wayne. The dedication breakfast begins at 9 a.m. in Expo III. Attendees may explore cooking, design and other women’s interests and issues at 14 workshops, at 10:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. Workshop sponsors include Parkview Health, IPFW, Woman’s Health Advantage, and others. Tickets are $65 per person for open seating or $700 for a table of 10. Corporate tables are also available for $1,000. Tickets and a complete schedule are available at
ipfw.edu/tapestry. Tapestry is a day of inspiration and education for women, and also raises scholarship funds for those studying health sciences at IPFW. In the past 13 years, almost $675,000 has been raised, the Tapestry Parkview Endowment has grown to over $530,000, and 50 students have received scholarships to study health sciences at IPFW. For more information, contact project manager Kathleen Jackson at 481-6854, or jacksonk@ ipfw.edu. “Ms. Kittaka exemplifies the image of a woman who has shown positive aspects in all areas of her life,” said Nancy Stewart, Dedication Committee member. “Her lifelong dedication to community arts makes her
a role model for women throughout northeast Indiana and across the world.” This year’s Tapestry will feature a keynote session by journalist Jane Pauley. The native Hoosier is an advocate for children’s health and education and a spokesperson for mental health. When Kittaka was 2 years old, she and her family were among more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans sent to American internment camps during the height of World War II. It was in a camp that Kittaka experienced her very first memory of music from a lone, soulful trumpet player. This moment would stay with her all her life, compelling her to devote her life to music.
Illinois deacon to speak here A church deacon who walked 800 miles from Rockford, Ill., to Washington, D.C., last year will speak in Fort Wayne. Deacon Lou Ness will present “Finding My Feet, Finding My Faith” at a soup supper at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, at Grace Episcopal Church, 10010 Aurora Place. The Lenten Soup Supper will be followed by sung evening
prayer at 7 p.m. The supper is free. The soup supper and evening prayer Ness are held every Tuesday in Lent. Remaining dates are March 10, 17 and 24. All are welcome. Call 432-9221 for more information. Ness passed through
Fort Wayne during her campaign to increase awareness of the homeless and others living in poverty. Ness is a deacon of Emmanuel Episcopal Church and the executive director of Shelter Care Ministries in Rockford, Ill. She is revisiting the cities at which she stopped along the way to Washington.

TASTE from Page A4 growth that we’re experiencing of Honor Flight.” Garrison said she learned of Honor Flight from a Kingston sister community that was involved with Honor Flight in Toledo. “I fell in love with it, and it’s been a great experience,” she said. “There are no salaries, there’s no overhead, there are no fancy cars. It’s a hundred percent volunteers — 22 board members who are volunteering their time to make things happen.” “They were so full of emotion, and they were tearful,” Garrison said of the veterans. “It was just raw emotion and I was hooked.” Veterans and their assigned caregivers visit the Washington, D.C., monuments, and pose for a group photo at the National World War II Memorial. Back in Fort Wayne, each veteran receives a 5x7 copy of the photo. At the suggestion of Honor Flight Northeast Indiana President Bob Myer, Kingston began buying frames for those photos. Walgreens provides disposable cameras, pays for the developing, and absorbs the cost of the veterans’ copies of the photos. “And this year they’re going to split the cost of the frames with us. So Walgreens is really stepping up and doing a
great job for us,” Garrison said. Though the Taste of Waynedale has a new home, it remains a Kingston event. “It was difficult for us to move away from having it here,” Garrison said. “We wanted people to come and see our beautiful community. It was a great way to showcase our building. But in the end, we just outgrew the property here.” Residents still enjoy and
support the event in its new home. “We just run our shuttle bus back and forth, so they can come and enjoy the event. Many of the family members will come and pick up their loved ones and they will go and make an evening of it, so they still are very much involved in it,” Garrison said. “They enjoy the socialization, and many times they see people they go to church with or used to work with.”
“Even though we’re not hosting it at our building anymore, we would love folks to come over and check out our happy community,” she said. In its first six years, Taste of Waynedale has raised almost $49,000 for charities. This year’s vendor list includes: Belmont Beverage, Big Boy, Bandido’s, Captain Ron’s Corral, Casa Ristorante, China Palace, Curly’s Village Inn, Dairy Queen,

Financial Focus
Look Through this “LENS” when Making Social Security Decisions Your Social Security benefits can be an important part of your retirement income strategy. But when should you start taking these payments? You can begin accepting Social Security as early as 62, but your monthly checks will be much smaller than if you wait until your “full retirement age,” which will likely be between 66 or 67. And these monthly payments will get even bigger if you wait until age 70, at which point they “max out.” So, should you take your Social Security as early as possible and hope that the smaller monthly payments will be justified by the extra years of receiving them, or should you wait until you are older and hope that the bigger checks will be worth the delay?
In weighing this decision, consider the acronym LENS, which stands for Life expectancy, Employment, Need and Spouse. Let’s look at each component: Life expectancy — If your family has a history of longevity, and if you are in excellent health, it may make sense for you to take Social Security later, when your monthly benefits will be higher. You’ll also want to consider your spouse’s life expectancy. Employment — If you want to keep working in your “retirement years,” be aware that your earnings could affect your Social Security payments. Specifically, if you take Social Security early — that is, before your full retirement age — your benefits will be withheld
by $1 for every $2 in earned income above a certain amount ($15,720 in 2015). During the year in which you reach your full retirement age, this withholding changes to $1 for every $3 in earnings over the annual limit ($41,880 in 2015). The withheld amounts could also affect spousal benefits. However, beginning the month you attain your full retirement age, benefits will no long longer be withheld based on how much you earn. Also, Social Security will recalculate your benefits at full retirement age to account for the benefits that were withheld. In any case, if you do plan to continue working, and you think you could have significant income, you’ll need to understand the effect that earnings will have on your annual benefits.
Need — In deciding when to take Social Security, here’s a key question: Do you need the money? If you can support your lifestyle for several years with alternative sources of income (such as a pension) and modest withdrawals from your investments, you may be able to delay Social Security, thereby increasing the size of your monthly payments. Be careful, though, because relying too heavily on your investment portfolio can shorten its own “life expectancy.” It’s essential that you maintain a reasonable withdrawal rate for your investments throughout your retirement. Spouse — Your decision of when to take Social Security will affect your spouse’s survivor benefit. Surviving spouses can receive their
own benefit or 100% of their deceased spouse’s benefit, whichever is greater. So, if you were to take your Social Security early, when the payments are smaller, your spouse’s survivor benefits will also be permanently reduced. If you are older than your spouse, or otherwise expect your spouse to outlive you, it might be a good idea to delay taking Social Security to maximize the survivor benefits. As you think about when to take Social Security, look at your decision through the LENS described above. It could help clarify your options.

Saint Francis Jesters group to present ‘Right as Rain’ The Jesters of the University of Saint Francis will present their annual spring performance at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 7, and 3 p.m. Sunday, March 8, at the USF North Campus auditorium, 2702 Spring St. Tickets are $10. Call the USF School of Creative Arts at 399-7700, ext. 8001, for more information.
The theme of this year’s show, “Right as Rain,” is about setting goals and making choices, and the Jester performers will tell the story through music, dance, theater, visual art and puppets. The story is about a girl named Mary who is excited about spending time with her friends at a baseball game. When the game is rained out, Mary is very
upset. She makes a series of bad choices about how to handle the situation and ultimately decides to create a machine to make the clouds go away so she won’t have to deal with bad weather anymore. Of course, the machine doesn’t work and ultimately Mary realizes she doesn’t need to control the weather after all. Sponsored by the
life skills while providing learning opportunities to the USF community and the community at large. In 2013, the program expanded to include the Junior Jesters group, which includes younger performers age 6-14 with developmental and physical disabilities. More information about the USF Jesters, including a video about the group,
University of Saint Francis since 1978, the Jesters is a performing group of people with mild to severe developmental disabilities. The purpose of the Jesters is to enhance quality of life for people with disabilities by engaging them in the creative arts. The vision is to develop self-expression, self-esteem, socialization and other

Hotel Fitness championship event calls for 500 volunteers Hotel Fitness Championship organizers have begun recruiting 500 volunteers for the 2015 golf showcase. The tournament, hosted by the Western Golf Association, is seeking volunteers to serve on a variety of committees from Sept. 7-13 at Sycamore Hills Golf Club. Committees will be ďŹ lled on a ďŹ rst-come, ďŹ rstserve basis. “Volunteering is an exciting way for people in the community to get involved in the behindthe-scenes action of the Championship,â€? said tournament director Chris Montagano, on behalf of the WGA. “Volunteers are an integral part of tournament week, and we truly appreciate all they do to help make the Championship a success each year. It’s wonderful to see the people of Fort Wayne get behind the event and serve
as chairpersons and volunteers. With committees ranging from marshals to communications, volunteer opportunities provide for an unforgettable experience for both golfers and non-golfers alike. We had an unbelievable group of volunteers last year, and we look forward to this year’s turnout being even better.� Some committees will begin working Monday, while others start Thursday of Championship Week. All volunteers are asked to work a minimum of three shifts spanning approximately 15-20 hours. Volunteers are asked to buy the 2015 Hotel Fitness Championship Volunteer Package for $50, which includes: two logoed golf shirts, one hat, a volunteer credential valid for volunteer’s entry to the Championship all week, food and beverages on days you volunteer, and one
weekly grounds ticket for guest entry to the Championship. Those interested in volunteering can apply by visiting HotelFitnessChampionship.com and clicking the “Volunteerâ€? link. For assistance in selecting a committee or information about the leadership roles available, contact Parker GrifďŹ n at pgrifďŹ n@ brunoeventteam.com or 271-1153. The Hotel Fitness Championship is the ďŹ rst of four Web.com Tour Finals events for 2015 that will determine the 50 players who earn cards for the 2015-16 PGA tour season under the enhanced qualifying system. Players who are eligible for the Hotel Fitness Championship include the top 75 money winners on the Web.com Tour at the conclusion of the regular season; players who ďŹ nish
126-200 on the PGA Tour’s FedExCup points list at the end of the Tour’s regular
season; and, any nonmembers who earn enough points to place them among

LODGE from Page A1 heat has changed. This used to be hot water heat; the boiler was shared with the dry goods store underneath us.� Now two gas units heat the lodge room and a third heats the kitchen and dining area at the front of the building. An elevator chair glides up and down the staircase. From the dining area, members look across Main Street to the building housing Emporium Joseph Decuis. That other brick building was dedicated as the IOOF, 1923. Cartwright also is one of the younger of the lodge’s 65 members, 20 of whom have received their 50-year membership awards. “We’ve got some more people coming through now who are about the same age,� Outten said. The lodge chose the building’s centennial to invite the public to tour the building, take in a century of photos, and enjoy some pancakes on a cold Saturday in February. About 50 people accepted the invitation. “We’d like to get the community of Roanoke to get to know who we are and get an idea of what’s in their town,� Cartwright said. “The

I’m pretty sure it’s the oldest continually running organization other than maybe the churches in the town. “We’ve owned the building for a hundred years. It was built for a cost of $4,200. We own from the oorboards up. This is what’s been called the oldest condominium in Indiana.â€? Outten admitted that many people might not know the story of the lodge. “We’re working on trying to improve that now,â€? he said. “We pop popcorn for the Fourth of July every year. We
do that to reach out to the community. I think people really enjoy that at the ďŹ reworks.â€? Cartwright is a third-generation Mason on both sides of his family. He showed the register from the 1915 dedication night at the lodge’s new home, and pointed to the names of two family members. “I didn’t have a chance,â€? he said. Lodge 195 was the second lodge chartered in Huntington County, but is the oldest continuously operating lodge. Lodge 195 originally met in a frame building on Commercial Street.

WATER from Page A1 water. And thanks to your leadership we now have redundancy; we have multiple access points to our campus. We’ll all rest a little better at night now that we have two different access points of water. Should something unforeseen happen to one of them, we can still provide great care for our patients.” The hospital and other customers east of Interstate 69 are part of Phase 1, which began receiving city water almost immediately after the Aqua Southwest sale closed in December. City Utilities Deputy Director Matthew Wirtz, pointing to a map of the service area, explained that Lutheran Hospital now receives water both from the north and from former Aqua Indiana infrastructure from the west. Henry and Bauer thanked City Utilities Director Kumar Menon and his staff for their work on the project. “He has been guiding all the engineers and the
INfortwayne.com • A13
staff in this process, and if there’s anybody here today that I want to thank it’s definitely Kumar and his engineers and those working with the city of Fort Wayne to make this happen,” Henry said. In an interview, Menon said even those customers who are not yet receiving city water are already experiencing higher water pressure as other customers are being diverted from the original sources. He said the increased volume also will serve as safeguard against drought. Phase 3A, which will be connected March 12, also includes Plantations of Aboite, Aboite Lake Estates, Havervill, North Shores and The Shores. Service was extended through Phase 2, which extends north of Liberty Mills Road, in January. Phase 3B, to be connected by September, extends north to Bass Road. “I don’t think there are any obstacles or hurdles in the road that we can’t handle at this point,” Henry said. Work continues on pipes along Bass Road,

Branstrator Road, Feighner Road and Smith Road. “It’s all about taking care of our residents and about attracting new business to our community,” Henry said. “In fact, there are a number of businesses that have stepped up today to be present at this conference, so I want to thank all of those from the hospitality industry, neighborhood leaders, Realtors, various businesses and various organizations. I think that tells you how important it
is to all of them that this day has come.” In comments after the news conference, Henry said quality water is essential to development. “Businesses look for a good quality of life in their community, because it’s terribly important to their employees, whether their employees are here already, or they will be moving them to our community. They’ve got to have a quality of life that meets their intrinsic needs as well as their extrinsic. So it’s not all about the dollars. It’s
HAPPY EASTER! APRIL 5, 2015
about the ability to give them a quality of life that is sustainable.” Visit cityoffortwayne. org/aquatransition for updates on the transition to city water. The city said former Aqua customers will save an average of $120 to $140 per year on their water bills, and that other City Utilities customers will not see increased water rates because of the transaction. “City Utilities does not charge a minimum usage fee, therefore customers that use less than Aqua’s 4,000-gallon minimum are likely to save the most,” City Utilities said in a December letter to water customers.
Under the agreement, City Utilities paid Aqua $50.1 million in addition to the $16.9 million paid in 2008. The investment completes the purchase of the Aqua north system and the southwest water system. Aqua Indiana retains its waste water treatment service. In December, Aqua announced the completion of $5.6 million in infrastructure improvements to serve 13,000 homes and businesses in Allen and Whitley counties. Aqua Indiana President Tom Bruns said additional projects planned in 2015 also will encourage economic development in Aboite Township.

Girl Scouts extend cookie sales By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Area Girl Scouts are making a final push toward their goals in the 98th annual cookie drive. Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana has extended the sales campaign by two weeks, through March 15. “With the recent frigid temperatures, several troops have expressed concern of not reaching their desired sales goals,” the agency said on its website. The young entrepreneurs of Girl Scout Troop 20621 welcomed the extension. The fourth-graders, mostly from Deer Ridge Elementary School, got some encouragement recently as they sold cookies at the Subway station at 6302 Illinois Road. Wayne Weis picked up a sandwich and some cookies that afternoon. Weis said he enjoys knowing that the girls are gaining people skills as they raise money. “It’s a win-win all around,” he said. Carlea Thomas has been

selling cookies since the first grade. “Every year we get a new cookie,” she said. This year it is the Trios gluten-free cookies. Carlea boldly greeted each person who walked into the restaurant. “It’s fun to ask them if they want cookies,” she said. This marks Abigail Johnson’s first Girl Scout cookie drive. “It’s really fun to learn about how a
business works,” she said. “We have been doing well,” Corina Redding said. “Our goal is to sell about 5,000 boxes of cookies. We’ve sold 3,000 already.” Sydney Myers has been part of Girl Scouts since kindergarten. She enjoys the cookie sales and the field trips, such as a recent visit to the Girl Scouts’ Fort Wayne Leadership & Learning Center, at 10008

Church and School and the A Capella Choir of Concordia Lutheran High School will contribute to the music. The high school choir will perform pre-concert music beginning at 6:45 p.m. “Most of the music will be by the guest choir,” said John Mueller, who served as the Holy Cross music director for 43 years and who still conducts one of the church’s choirs. “They are extremely well
known,” he said, adding that Kapelle will tour in Poland in May. Concordia High School graduates Clinton Bienz, Ellen Moussou and Tyler Muehl will perform with the Concordia University concert choir on its 10-day Midwest tour.

CHOIR from Page B1 director of the Lutheran Schools Partnership, an organization that supports 17 area Lutheran elementary schools and Concordia Lutheran High School. Mark and his wife, Dana, were members of Kapelle in the 1980s. “That university has had some very prestigious musicians over the years, and I’m very happy that my son has the opportu-
nity to be part of that,” he said. “There is an impressive litany of directors and composers who have been there.” “It’s a premier choir,” he said. “Every other year they take a long trip — east, west or south — and in between they do a Midwestern tour. To share the gospel to places where they stop and also to promote Concordia University is a very unique opportunity.” Mueller, the former
Holy Cross music director, graduated from Concordia University Chicago. Patricia Cotton, the current director of music and worship, earned her master’s degree in music and worship at that school. “She went on tour to Europe with them and she even directed them though she was a student. She absolutely loved it,” Mueller said. Mueller said many of the Holy Cross
teachers graduated from that university, situated in west suburban River Forest, Ill. “That they are affiliated with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is very attractive to Lutheran churches in our area,” he said. Charles P. Brown, the director of choral activities at Concordia University Chicago, is conducting Kapelle for the 14th year. In a news release, the university
said the program to be presented during the spring tour will include a variety of pieces chosen for wide audience appeal. The program is entitled “I Can Tell the World,” and includes works by Vincent Persichetti, Paul Manz, Rihards Dubra, Paul Bouman, Virgil Thompson, Moses Hogan and Stacey V. Gibbs. In addition to its annual tours in the U.S., Kapelle conducts an international tour every four years.
Kapelle has performed in Finland, France, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Chile and Argentina, and elsewhere in Europe and South America. Kapelle includes music majors and students focused on other disciplines. Members are selected by audition. The ensemble has produced 11 recordings of sacred music. For more information, call (812) 372-1571.
