Families fill Indian Trails for sock hops on the lawn By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Barbara Krisher introduced the free concert with a free civics lesson. Indian Trails Park is a township park, said the Aboite Township trustee. “This is not a city park and this is not a county park,” she said. “This is a township park and the township pays with their tax dollars for the maintenance and improvements of the park.” She said many individuals and groups worked to create the park. “In 2000 this was in beans and the

grapevine was talking about the builder who was going to put 350 houses on this 80 acres,” she said. “The [township] advisory board and I had for some time been watching this land and talking about making a park here, because it’s almost in the center of the township and we felt it would be a great location. You don’t just go out and buy a piece of property with public money. You have to get appraisals — more than one — and you have to compare them.” Over the years, the

pavilion, parking lots and restrooms were added. The playground was completed. A 13-acre section was sold to become the home of the Jorgensen YWCA. Today, an assortment of athletic leagues use the park. Radio-control airplanes soar over the park and set down on the south parking lot. The pavilion is available for rent for $50 for a half-day. For details or to reserve the pavilion, call Krisher at (260) 432-0970. The free concerts also See HOPS, Page A11

1,000 kids get backpacks to start school year right By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Lifeline Youth & Family Services Inc. is easing the back-to-school worries for hundreds of children. Staff and volunteers visited The Chapel to pick up 350 backpacks stuffed with supplies. Church members bought, filled and donated 1,000 backpacks in all, to be

distributed to at-risk kids through four agencies. Families at Brookmill Court apartments picked up their backpacks from Lifeline at an Aug. 6 cookout. “We have a big cookout and every family from the Brookmill community comes, and we hand the backpacks to each individual student. Each backpack has been

assigned,” said Jacquie Downey, the vice president of marketing for Lifeline. “The parents are 90 percent single mothers. So they have to choose between paying the utility bill, putting food on the table, or buying school supplies. So we are able to help them take one thing off their plate. “The excitement level on

Hoot, 19, was crowned at the pageant at Carroll High School, where she graduated in 2014. Hoot receives a $1,000 scholarship, a $785 modeling scholarship, and other gifts. In January, she will compete for the title of Miss Indiana State Fair 2016. The pageant was the second for Hoot, who said she made friends during both pageants. “I already knew some girls and I met people from all around the county, and I believe that I made friendships for the rest of our time at the fair and hopefully for a long time after that,” she said. The Trine University sophomore is studying pre-physical therapy and

exercise science. She earned recognition on the President’s List and is captain of the women’s soccer team, was inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success, and is involved with Christian Campus House. She is the daughter of Tim and Theresa Hoot. Theresa died late in 2014. First runner-up Emma Schaefer, 19, is the daughter of Tammy Minch and Loren Schaefer. She graduated from Carroll High School and attends Ball State University, where she majors in telecommunications. She is part of Cardinal Sports Live, a student-run Ball State sports TV show. She is a 4-H summer program assistant. Second runner-up Courtney DelaCuesta, 19, is a Homestead High School graduate and a sophomore at Indiana

daughter of Jim and Kris Rea studied through Indiana Cyber Charter Schools. She attends IPFW, where she majors in actuarial science and Spanish. Also participating in the pageant were Danyle Reith, Alison Schwieterman, Joy Mugambi, Maelee Holderread, Karlee Parker and Kelly Collins. Hoot succeeded 2014 fair queen Whitney Bullion, also a Carroll graduate. When asked what advice she would offer the new queen, Bullion said, “I think it’s just important to realize that all eyes will be upon you, and so you have to be a role model to everyone who’s looking at you.” She added, “But at the same time, you’re chosen for who you are.”

Bullion thanked her family and Pageant Director Michelle Love. “She puts her heart and soul into everything,” Bullion said. Love continued to help her after the 2014 pageant, during the fair, and during the state fair queen pageant, she said. Love said Bullion participated in every aspect of the 2014 fair. “She was a great sport,” she said. “Anything I’ve asked her to do, she has done.” Twelve contestants sought the title of Miss Allen County. Three judges awarded up to 50 points to each contestant after private interviews before the pageant, 20 points for professional wear, and 30 points for evening wear.

Finally, each contestant could receive up to 10 points for her answer to a question chosen at random. Pageant hostess Heather Herron asked Hoot, “How important is higher education to young people today and why do you feel that way?” Hoot answered that higher education is very important, regardless of the chosen career. “I believe everybody can be successful in their own way,” she said. Visit missallencounty. com for details of the awards and information about registering for the 2016 pageant. Young women 17 to 21 who live in Allen County or attend school in Allen County are eligible.

Hawks said the backpack campaign began perhaps 10 years ago. “But I’m sure that before The Chapel was ever started there were churches giving backpacks,� he said. He said the backpacks represent only one piece of the church’s relationship with the children. He cited studies showing that children who do not read during the summer can lose a half-year of learning. “So along with the backpacks, The Chapel funds a summer reading club for at-risk kids, and what we have found is that those kids come back from summer half a grade ahead instead of half a year behind,� he said.

Kids learn and play while contributing to markets By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Southwest Allen County Schools teacher Luann Watson explained why she enjoyed her summer job, supervising Salomon Farm campers. “They just get to be kids,” she said. Children ran sack races and played games as Watson watched. The kids also learn animal and land stewardship, she said. The camps have been offered each summer since 2002, just six years after Chris Salomon and family donated the Dupont Road house, barn and land to the Fort Wayne Parks Department. Though the camps have ended for the season, the farmers markets continue from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday through Sept. 9. “They learn how to care for a specific animal, and during the week they have legend hikes, we have tractor rides, they go in the creek, all kinds of heritage crafts like the wool sewing,” Watson said. “They go into the garden and they pick and they eat at will and just play. “It’s one of those venues that are still available to kids in the summer.” Watson teaches science and math for SACS. She said the camp’s excellent staff includes many teachers.

Farmin’ Fun Day Camps are open to ages 4 to 18. Follow fortwayneparks. org for registration for the 2016 camps. In the barn just yards away, where the hill begins to ease downward toward the animal pens, shoppers toured the farm market. The vendors are all from nearby, Watson said. “That’s your true buying local,” she said. “And we have the fruits and the vegetables, local cut meats, plants and herbs. We have somebody who’s selling honey and goods, chocolates,

baked goods. We also have someone who makes personal products like soaps and deodorants. We have people who make soy-based candles.” Teena Hippensteel supervised as Farmers in Training campers Christian Detwiler and Katelyn Bowers sold produce from the farm. “Every Wednesday they harvest everything from our gardens here for our farmers market,” she said. Kathleen Hunnicutt of Fort Wayne stopped at the TIF market. She looked over the cucumbers, garlic

and jalapenos. She bagged up two pounds of assorted potatoes, fresh from the Salomon Farm garden. She said her own children were camp gardeners just a decade ago. “It’s very close to our house,” she said. “We enjoy the fresh vegetables and produce and we like the fact that it’s local, and we wanted to see the kids from Salomon Farm selling produce. It’s local and fresh. We love it.” The all-organic farmers markets continue from 4-7 p.m. each Wednesday through Sept. 9.

The Roanoke Farmers Market is in full swing, and continues from 8 a.m.-noon every Saturday through Sept. 12. The market has been a community event since 2001, bringing neighbors and friends together and providing an opportunity to show off the town. Main Street is blocked off and lined with colorfully striped awnings on handmade carts filled with fresh, locally grown produce, handmade items and baked goods. The market welcomes entertainment during the summer. The Huntington North High School cheerleaders will be at the market on Aug. 8 conducting a cheer clinic.

3-on-3 basketball event to raise money for park The Roanoke Park will hold a fundraiser Aug. 22 celebrating a Hoosier tradition — basketball. Titled Roanoke Summer Classic, it is a 3-on-3, half-court, round robin tournament raising money to support the park. Games will be played up to 21 points or 20 minutes in length and all teams will be organized by age bracket: Youth (7-10); Middle School (11-14); High School (15-18); Adult (18+) and Ages 35+. Organizer Kyle Miron approached the park board with his idea of the fundraiser, saying, “I believe that every town in America should have a basketball tournament to entice its youth off of the couch and into a healthy active lifestyle. Roanoke Park is a great outdoor venue for a tournament like this.” Because this is first-year event, Miron plans to limit

the entrance to 25 teams of four. There will be an organizational/kick-off meeting for the teams on Friday evening, Aug. 21. The tournament will be held Saturday, Aug. 22, starting at 9 a.m. and continuing until finish. Spectators are encouraged. Huntington North’s girls basketball team will sell popcorn to raise funds and there will be food trucks and fun in the park as well. Roanoke Park covers 25 acres. Situated just two blocks from the downtown area, and is home to athletic fields where more than 500 young athletes are involved in soccer, baseball and football. With tennis courts, basketball courts, playground and picnic pavilion, the park is a hub of family activity and recreation. Roanoke Park is not only a recreational facility, but it has been the No. 1 solution

to help cope with the downtown flooding. “It is the retention basin controlling the flow of flood waters toward the downtown area and as such it floods several times a year. This time there was just too much rain too quickly,” Park Board President Brandon Taylor explained. “There is expense in the cleanup and upkeep of the park. The funds raised from this event will be utilized to help fund park improvements and update the equipment to preserve this valuable asset to our town.” Information about the event and signing up a team can be found on the website: roanokeclassic. com. Entry forms are available at the Joseph Decuis Emporium, Bippus State Bank and Moose & Mollies. For more information, Miron can be reached at (260) 443-4925 or at roanokeclassic@gmail.com.

Well-known local talent at benefit for Lions Club Billed as an evening of cool jazz and smooth standards, this year’s concert fundraiser for the Roanoke Lions Club features local vocalist Shannon Persinger backed by The Eric Clancy Trio. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28, at Roanoke’s Cottage Event Center, 9524 U.S. 24 N at Locust Street in

Roanoke. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased by calling (260) 483-3508, or with PayPal at cottageeventcenter.com. Persinger regularly performs jazz at Fort Wayne’s Club Soda. Her three previous appearances at The Cottage have been

sellouts. Keyboardist Eric Clancy, was featured at this year’s Three Rivers Festival accompanying national R & B recording artist Ty Causey. The Roanoke Lions Club will be on site for the fourth consecutive year, grilling burgers for sale. A cash bar will be available.

arts and cultural efforts in northeast Indiana. Taste of the Arts begins at 11 a.m. and lasts until midnight. “The admission is free because the key goal is accessibility,” said Susan Mendenhall, Arts United president. The festival is “immersive,” Mendenhall added. With six instrumental and dance performances happening at one time, ongoing participatory activities and delicious aromas wafting through the air from the food vendors, attendees can see, hear, feel, taste and smell artistry in its many different forms. “The real purpose of this event is to celebrate and support art diversity and highlight the culture and diversity of art in the community,” she said. Last year, the event attracted roughly 25,000 people and the same number — weather permitting — is expected this year as well. To accommodate, more performers and restaurants are participating in the festival this year. The performers are from the greater Fort Wayne area, said Carmen Tse, who is co-chairing the festival. One of Tse’s favorite aspects of the festival is the arts activities area, where more than 40 nonprofit organizations provide kid-friendly activities. For example, children have the opportunity to learn some moves from ballerinas with the Fort Wayne Ballet, and musicians with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic introduce children to instruments. Another highlight will be more than 20 plein air painters participating in Artlink’s Wet Paint Auction. Silent bids will be taken at the event for the art being created in front of the public eye. All proceeds will support programming at Artlink, a nonprofit art gallery. Also, the Downtown Improvement District’s BuskerFest will take place alongside Taste of the Arts at Freimann Square, 200 E. Main St. BuskerFest was canceled earlier this summer due to weather, but many of the performers will be participating in the event Aug. 29. Put on by the Downtown Improvement District, Busker Square at Taste of the Arts celebrates arts through street performance. Busker Square is also free and takes place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, visit tasteoftheartsfortwayne.org/.

HOPS from Page A1 come out of the township budget, she said. On the third Wednesday of the concert series, Krisher introduced The Bulldogs with their sock hop songs from the first decades of rock ’n’roll. The audience relaxed in lawn chairs, or on blankets or the grass. Couples swayed to Wayne Neukom’s faithful rendering of “Unchained Melody.” Solo dancers raised their hands and spun around to “Love Potion No. 9.” “I’m waiting for an Elvis song,” said Linda Kuhn, from the Wildwood neighborhood. Her wait was short. The band chose

“Blue Suede Shoes.” Linda and Doyle Kuhn said they are frequent visitors to the Indian Trails park, and are fond of The Bulldogs’ choices in songs. “I grew up in that era,” Doyle said. Bill Miskelly relaxed against a pole at the sand volleyball pits. The Waynedale man was visiting his daughter in Copper Hill, and had ventured away from the family reunion in the pavilion. He held his daughter’s dog, Lucy Lu. Randy and Julie Wolf of Aboite Township brought their nephews to the concert for the first time. “We love coming to these every summer,” Randy said. “It’s free, and it’s a nice evening in the middle

School bus safety tips to impart to youngsters METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

Each day thousands upon thousands of children board school buses to take them to and from school. Parents and caregivers entrust their children’s well-being to the care of school bus drivers and aides. Although parents may worry about school bus accidents, such accidents are few and far between. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration advises that school buses are designed to

be safer than passenger vehicles in avoiding crashes and protecting against injury. Buses are arguably the safest mode of transportation for getting kids to and from school. By keeping millions of cars off the roads surrounding schools, school buses contribute to less crowded roadways, which are less conducive to accidents. Danger zone Though parents may feel buses are most likely to be in accidents while in transit, experts advise that children are more likely to get hurt during pickups and drop-offs when they’re in the “danger zone� of the bus. The danger zone is a 10-foot radius around the outside of the bus. Bus drivers and other motorists find kids in the danger zone are more difficult to see, and children can get struck by either the bus or oncoming cars that fail to stop when the bus is picking kids up or dropping them off. Knowing the safety rules While a large part of protecting children is on the shoulders of the school bus driver, it is also vital for passengers to learn the basics of school bus safety.

Kindergarteners or children who are riding the bus for the first time should be taught the rules of school bus safety. Some schools offer a school bus tour prior to the new school year. This lets youngsters acclimate themselves with the look and feel of the school bus. This introduction also may include information about bus safety, but parents can also educate their children (and themselves) about using caution in and around the bus by following these guidelines. • Get to the bus stop 5 to 10 minutes prior to the assigned pickup time. Rushing last-minute can lead to injury, especially if you’re chasing down the bus. • Remain on the sidewalk or grass at the bus stop. Do not step off the curb into the street until the bus has arrived and is completely stopped. • When boarding the bus, go directly to a seat and sit down. Buckle up if there are seatbelts on the bus. • Remain seated while the bus is in motion. • Keep voices low so as not to distract the driver. SEE SAFETY TIPS, PAGE A13

Add health screenings to back-to-school checklist METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

As summer vacation winds down, thoughts turn from jaunts to the beach to readying for a new school year. To-do lists include many of the typical tasks that precede going back to the classroom, including shopping for new clothes, purchasing school supplies and finishing summer reading assignments. Another essential requirement parents must find time for is completing their children’s health screenings and immunizations so youngsters can return to school. Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to attend school. Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations before they can begin a new school year. While the issue of vaccinations has inspired debate in recent years, parents should recognize that many schools will only exempt students from receiving certain vaccinations due to religious reasons. For a list of state vaccination requirements and possible exemptions for schools in the United States, visit www2a.cdc.gov/nip/ schoolsurv/schImmRqmt. asp. Students who have specific learning disabilities SAFETY TIPS, FROM PAGE A12

• Keep your head and hands inside of the bus, and never hang out of the window. • Do not throw things on the bus or play rough with friends or classmates. • Keep the aisle clear at all times. • Be careful when getting off the bus. Hold on while going down the stairs. • Only get off at your designated stop unless you have permission to get off elsewhere. • When exiting the bus, walk at least 10 steps past the front of the bus and cross in front where the driver can see you. Do not cross behind the bus. * Wait for the driver to give you a signal that it is safe to cross. Be sure

or medical conditions that require classroom modification should obtain recent documentation from any therapists or specialists prior to beginning a new school year. Doing so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents may want to ask doctors to provide copies of medical and immunization records so that schools will have the most recent copies on file. Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the first day of school so they have ample time to fill new prescriptions for youngsters before school begins. This ensures kids won’t be starting off on the wrong foot because of vision problems that could already have been addressed. Parents of adolescents or students on the verge of adolescence may want to address the subject of bodily changes before the school year begins anew. Address which changes can be expected, including the start of menstruation for girls. This will help children better understand what is happening when they witness changes in themselves and fellow classmates and give them a chance to receive accurate information rather than gossip from their peers. Keep in mind that health screenings conducted in advance of the school year to check that all cars on the road have come to a complete stop. • Get to the sidewalk or off the street as quickly as possible. • If you’ve forgotten something on the bus, do not run back and attempt to retrieve it. The driver might not see you and start the bus. Rather, call the bus company and see if you can pick it up at another time. • Do not get into the cars of strangers waiting around bus stops, even if they offer to take you home. Parents can arrange to meet with bus drivers so that they will recognize their faces. Adults also can encourage schools to host bus safety courses to further ensure their youngsters are safe.

may not preclude students from school-sponsored screenings. Schools may offer their own vision and hearing screenings and may take physical measurements to ensure students are growing on schedules in line with normal development.

Foot bridge to Coventry to be ready, open Aug. 14 By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

A foot bridge linking the Village of Coventry to almost 500 homes to the west will open Aug. 14. That’s the official opening date. Pedestrians, however, have been stepping through the caution tape and over Patty Place Bridge since it was lowered into position June 30. The bridge over the natural drain washed away during a flash flood on Aug. 22, 2014. The drain flows behind the Aboite Branch Library and into the Graham-McCulloch Ditch. City of Fort Wayne spokesman Frank Suarez said almost 60 feet of sidewalk must be poured to connect the bridge to the sidewalks. The bridge floor is incomplete, with

About 100 members of the Executive Women’s Golf Association will play Aug. 29 at Chestnut Hills Golf Club in Fort Wayne. The occasion is a regional qualifying round for the association’s national championship. “We expect 95 women here, including two women from headquarters and a USGA official,” said Jana Sebele, the founder of the Fort Wayne Chapter. “It should be a great event. It’s going to be really enjoyable.” The gathering begins with practice rounds on Aug. 28. Tee times begin at 7:30 a.m. Aug. 29. “We do have spon-

sorship opportunities. We’re using the money to pay for the Friday night welcome reception and the Saturday banquet,” Sebele said. Sponsors also may contribute to the goodie bags provided by Vera Bradley. Email jlsebele@ aol.com for details. Holiday Inn Suites will be the host hotel. Chestnut Hills head professional and general manager Gary Gant said he is pleased to have the tournament in Fort Wayne. “Our EWGA team is very active and they send teams to these finals every year,” Gant said. “It’s good for the community — these ladies will be here for two or three days, using hotels, buying meals and every-

thing.” Golfers compete at the local level to qualify for one of the 15 regional tournaments. The Fort Wayne regional will host EWGA golfers from the upper Midwest and Canada. Sebele worked in Fort Wayne before moving to Naples, Fla., where she became active in the golf association. Sebele moved back to Fort Wayne in 2008. She is a bookkeeper for Schmidt Electric in Fort Wayne. “When I came up here I was looking for women to play golf with, and in the first two months we had 30 members and by the next spring we had 60.

Run/walk to benefit Pufferbelly Trail project Runners, walkers and baby strollers are welcome at the 6th annual Pufferbelly 5K Run/Walk on Aug. 8. The event takes place at Parkview YMCA off Dupont Road and includes a 5k race, kids’ fun run, games, live music, pony rides, food and more. Designed to highlight and raise funds for the Pufferbelly Trail, more than 2,500 people have participated in the 5K event during the past several years. Last year more than 700 runners and walkers took part, and event planners are looking to increase that number this time around. Monies raised from the event will go to further the work being done on the Pufferbelly Trail corridor that, when completed, will stretch 80 miles from Pokagon State Park near Angola to Ouabache State Park in Bluffton, cutting through downtown Fort Wayne in the process.

It’s a conversion of the former New York Railroad line and is a nod to the steam engines that once roared through the area. “Events like the Pufferbelly 5K are a critical part of expanding the trails,” said Lori Rose, Fort Wayne Trails’ executive director. “As we work with the City of Fort Wayne, Allen County, and our neighboring counties to extend the Pufferbelly Trail into downtown Fort Wayne and beyond, it takes an army of supporters to continue the progress. We are so grateful to all the Pufferbelly 5K volunteers and participants who raise funds every year to keep the trail moving forward, so that thousands more people can safely and conveniently use the Pufferbelly to travel to arts and cultural destinations, schools, retail areas, See RUN, Page B6

That and the friendship are big elements,” she said. “The age range is 18 to 81, and our expertise level is a 4 handicap to a brand new golfer.” The local chapter plays each Wednesday at Colonial Oaks, 8218

Huguenard Road, and each Thursday at Chestnut Hills, 11502 Illinois Road. Golfers may play in a scramble format or sign up for stroke play to apply to their handicap. “And you can go back and forth,” Sebele said. Golfers have different playing partners each week. The Fort Wayne chapter submitted information on five local courses. “We weren’t allowed to give any recommendations,”

Sebele said. “Our headquarters contacted the local courses and they gave a list of criteria.” About 2,500 golfers from 120 cities compete on the local level. About 200 amateur golfers qualify to advance to the national finals Oct. 30 and 31 at The Westin Mission Hills Resort in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

Maker Faire balances circus arts with creativity By Doug LeDuc dleduc@kpcmedia.com

Cirque AmongUs will teach circus arts fundamentals such as balance and juggling at an annual event designed to celebrate do-it-yourself ingenuity and encourage extreme creativity with inspirational art and exhibits. The Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire, powered by TekVenture, is a place where artists, scientists, techies, tinkerers, inventors and crafters can

come to exchange ideas, showcase their latest works and, in some cases, help introduce newbies to their creative obsessions. The event will feature do-it-yourselfers from northeast Indiana as well as exhibits such as Cirque, which have been big crowd-pleasers at Maker Faires in other parts of the country. Organizers were looking for area makers with exhibits relating to activities such as rocketry, kinetic sculpture,

robotics, radio operations, do-it-yourself science, craft projects, green technology, whimsical technical creations and participatory activities where guests walk away with something they have made. Among the 100 exhibits, organizers are expecting a wet swing set, remote controlled cars, a bicycle with reversed controls, a giant robot spider, a cupcake car and a 10-station assembly line where guests can make wooden model trucks.

The Maker Faire will take place 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Aug. 8 and 9 at Headwaters Park in Fort Wayne, with tickets priced at $10 for everyone over 14 and $7 for youth ages 5-14, with a $2 discount for online ticket purchases. A ticket package for a family of four is $30, with a $6 online purchase discount. More information is available at MakerFaireFortWayne.com. Northeast Indiana teams will compete in a race featuring adults on

battery-powered kiddie cars throughout the event. The electric vehicle straight track obstacle-course competition also is expected to draw teams from throughout the Midwest as part of the Power Racing Series. Teams participating in the event are allowed to spend up to $500 modifying a battery-powered

child ride-on vehicle for the race. Adults race the vehicles over a track including obstacles of pea gravel, water, sand and wood chips. The vehicles will race against a clock, side-byside, with the winning car determined by the total time elapsed during the three quickest of its four heats.

FOOT from Page B1 birds to take the shorter route from Haverhill, Liberty Hill and Burnham Woods, at the intersection of Patty Place and Binford Lane. The trail leads through the woods, past a medical complex, to the southern edge of the library sidewalk, and across Coventry Lane. Library Branch Assistant Beth Nygaard said the trail is popular because there is no sidewalk along the west side of much of Coventry Lane. “The traffic really isn’t looking for pedestrians, so the bridge is heavily used by the neighborhoods that lie to the west,” she said. “I sometimes walk or bike to work. I have a teenage son who uses it all the time. Lots of patrons thought the library owns that property. It was out for a year, and people really missed it.” She said the pedestrian traffic helps to alleviate the demand for the library’s limited parking spaces. “I’m very happy about it,” said Mark Ueber, assistant branch manager. “We’ve had a couple patrons complain that they couldn’t quite get here as easily as they could before.” Madison Caris is a sales associate at Fleet Feet Sports in the Village of Coventry. That shop welcomes the public and organizes training runs through nearby neighborhoods. She said the trail is an important link to the Jorgensen YWCA. “We had to reroute things a little bit,” Caris said. “We do run through the neighborhoods quite a bit. So we are excited to have it opened back up.” The 6-by-40-foot bridge is funded by Tax Increment Financing through the Coventry Lane Economic Development Area, at a cost of $34,987. Michael Kinder and Sons is the contractor. The bridge was placed onto stabilizing concrete supports at each end. Riprap was added to stabilize the ground around the 5,700-pound bridge. The ground at each end of the bridge will be reseeded.

Concrete will be poured to connect the new bridge to the sidewalks, but the public has begun using the Patty Place Bridge.

Financial Focus

Inflation and Your Retirement Income Strategy You might not think much about inflation. After all, it’s been quite low for the past several years. Still, you may want to take it into account when you’re planning your retirement income strategy. Of course, no one can really predict the future course of inflation. But it’s a pretty safe bet it won’t disappear altogether — and even a mild inflation rate, over time, can strongly erode your purchasing power. Consider this: If you were to purchase an item today for $100, that same item, in 25 years, would cost you $209, assuming an annual inflation rate of 3%. That’s a pretty big difference. During your working years, you can hope that your income will at least rise enough to match inflation. But what about when you retire? How can you minimize the impact

of inflation on your retirement income? One thing you can certainly do is include an inflation assumption in your calculations of how much annual income you’ll need. The number you choose as an inflation factor could possibly be based on recent inflation levels, but you might want to err on the conservative side and use a slightly higher figure. Since you may be retired for two or three decades, you might have to periodically adjust the inflation factor to correspond to the actual inflation rate. Another important step is maintaining an investment portfolio that can potentially provide returns well above the inflation rate. Historically, stocks have been the only investment category — as opposed to investments such as Treasury bills and long-term

government bonds — whose returns have significantly outpaced inflation. So you may want to consider owning an appropriate percentage of stocks and stock-based investments in your portfolio, even during your retirement years. Now, you might be concerned at the mention of the words “stocks” and “retirement years” in the same sentence. After all, stocks will fluctuate in value, sometimes dramatically, and even though you may be retired for a long time, you won’t want to wait for years to “bounce back” from a bad year in the market. But not all investments move in the same direction at the same time; spreading your dollars among a range of asset classes — large stocks, small and midcap stocks, bonds, , certificates of deposit (CDs), foreign

investments and so on — may help you reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio. And you don’t even have to rely solely on stocks to help combat inflation. You could also consider Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS. When you purchase a TIPS, your principal increases with inflation and decreases with deflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Your TIPS pay interest twice a year, at a fixed rate; this rate is applied to the adjusted principal, so your interest payments will rise with inflation and fall with deflation. When your TIPS matures, you will receive adjusted principal or original principal, whichever is greater. As is the case with other bonds, though, you could choose to sell your TIPS before it matures.* Work with your financial

advisor to help decide what moves are right for you to help protect your retirement income from inflation. It may be a “hidden” threat, but you don’t want to ignore it. * Yield to maturity cannot be predetermined, due to uncertain future inflation adjustments. If TIPS are sold prior to maturity, you may receive less than your initial investment amount. If bonds are not held in a taxadvantaged account, investors will be required to pay federal taxes on the accredited value annually, although they will not receive any principal payment until maturity. When the inflation rate is high and the principal value is rising significantly, the taxes paid on. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones financial advisor.
