Carroll graduate to reign over 2015 county fair By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Erica Hoot will wear the tiara of Miss Allen County 2015 and reign over the fair, July 28-Aug. 2 Hoot, 19, was crowned at the pageant Sunday evening at Carroll High School, where she graduated in 2014. 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. 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

26th Allen County Fair packs week full of fun By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com
The annual Allen County Fair is expected to be bigger and better than ever this summer. The weeklong fair will return July 28 for its 26th year. Complete with 4-H competitions, food vendors, rides, live music and truck pulls, each day is packed full of activity. “It’s a really unique experience because you have all of the 4-H animals and exhibits as well as a full carnival and activities for all family members,” said Michelle Love, pageant director for the fair and secretary for the Allen County Fairgrounds board. “We really try to tailor the event as something that is open to people of all ages.” A new event introduced this year will be the ATV stunt show featuring Henry Rife, otherwise known as the

Luann Watson listed and described the activities, and then told what she enjoys most about working with Salomon Farm summer campers. “They just get to be kids,” she said. Watson, the camp supervisor, also explained the connection between the Wednesday evening farmers market in the Dupont Road park’s historic barn and the summer camps. The camps have been offered each summer since 2002, just six years after Chris Salomon and family donated the house, barn and land to the Fort Wayne Parks Department. “The market continues to expand as part of the mission stated when Mr. Salomon left this farm to

Northrop grad McKinnon leads New Haven police By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Henry McKinnon thanks hockey for bringing him to Fort Wayne and Northrop High School. The new chief of the New Haven Police Department also said he found his career through his first job after graduating from Northrop in 1987. “We’re from the Detroit area, and growing up we’re a big hockey family,” he said. “In fact, I’ve been on skates since
I was 3 years old and just grew up and stopped playing a few years ago. I was a goalie for a while for the Fort Wayne Freeze public safety hockey team. I finally hung up the goalie pads, so to speak, after many broken ribs, about three years ago.” His father, Jim McKinnon, worked for Chrysler in Detroit before his job moved to Van Wert, Ohio. “My dad made the decision that his boys would play hockey, and Fort Wayne had a

good program so he made the decision to move to Fort Wayne,” McKinnon said. His brother, Brian, also graduated from Northrop, also entered the Air Force, and is now an engineer with BAE Systems in Fort Wayne. McKinnon’s first job out of high school was in the psychiatric unit of Lutheran Hospital on Fairfield Avenue. “It’s a natural high for me to help people,” he said. “The police would bring people in need of services, bless their hearts. And the more I talked with the officers from the Fort Wayne P.D. the more I thought about it, that police work might be a good fit. And I was only 18 at the time.” He took criminal justice classes at IPFW, and listened to officers who suggested that he enter the military to prepare for a career. He joined the Air Force at age 22. Among other posts, he worked with the military police at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. He joined the New Haven Police

nervous about the work. But she has gotten over it.” McKinnon said he follows the principles that his mother, Barb, set out for him years ago. “She always told me to be your own person, do what you think is right, don’t run with the herd necessarily, and never judge a book by its cover, which is crucial in police work,” he said. “When it comes to police work, like anything
else, it’s very important not to make an assumption based on looks or appearance. Or maybe you get called to a certain place where you’ve been to before, and you think, ‘Yes, I know what this is.’ Every call is new.” His wife, Brigette, also is from the Detroit area. Their first date was grabbing a pizza and going to a Red Wings game. “I know it sounds hokey, but it was an instant connection,” he said. Brigette’s photo is beside his office computer, near a puck from the inaugural season of the Fort Wayne Freeze. “With this new position, the officers have shown a lot of support and I am truly humbled by that,” he said. “I know I have a lot to learn, but I’m very much looking forward to this challenge. We have a great core here. The best we can do is just keep everybody happy in their employment and energetic about the city, because we do have a lot to offer here. Just looking forward, there will be mistakes, but they will be honest mistakes.”

St. Paul’s Lutheran School teacher Ann R. Fritz is traveling two roadways on two continents this summer, all in the name of discovery. Fritz was awarded a Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship for her travels in Indiana and Italy. Fritz titled her grant application “All Roads Lead to … Dyer, Indiana.” She received a grant to explore the Lincoln Highway that crosses northern Indiana and the Via Emilia in Italy, “to investigate the similarities and differences between the two roadways and the communities along them.” Teachers use the summer travels to develop lessons for their classes. “The two roads aren’t intrinsically connected,” she said. “But
what I was hoping to do was teach my kids the idea of paying attention and seeing what is there.” “[U.S.] 30 and 33 were both Lincoln Highway at different times,” she said. “I know Goshen has some old structures that were there since the early days of the highway.” “We just don’t keep things,” she said. “Whereas in Italy and all over Europe you still see these structures that have been there for who knows how long.” Fritz applied for the Lilly grant twice before. “That was my goal, to do a little bit of traveling,” she said. “Then I was writing the project proposal which was due in November, which is a terrible time for teachers to turn it in, what with parent-teacher conferences. You feel like you don’t have time to dedicate to that. And I started thinking

about the road as being a common denominator for thinking about places, and what comes up along the road and what makes a road a significant feature to an area. And when I looked at the road in Italy, I could see the significant cities that had come along on that road.” The Lincoln Highway

we often wear more than one hat,” she said. Fritz has taught at St. Paul’s since 1996. Her husband, Scott, and their daughters also are part of the travels. It will be a really memorable experience, she said. The Lilly program funded fellowships for 100 teachers, principals, guidance counselors and school media specialists this summer. “It’s a really nice gesture on the part of the Lilly Endowment Fund that they care enough about the intellectual enrichment of teachers that they’re willing to invest a million dollars every year to provide these grants,” Fritz said. The deadline for applying for the 2016 grants has been moved to Sept. 1, and the grants have been increased to $12,000 each.

route passes right in front her school. She researched the route before her application and before embarking on a two-day trip across Indiana as part of the grant. She said the Lincoln Highway has taken a couple routes over the past century. Her destination in Europe is Ravenna, in the eastern part of Italy. The city is known for its ties to the Roman Empire and the Eastern Church. “So there’s just all this history and there’s all this culinary history, and important structures,” she said. “I just want to take that back to my students, the idea of the layers of history that you can see in any given place and using that as an idea of any area that you might visit, including Fort Wayne.” Fritz teaches fourth grade and music at St. Paul’s, a pre-K to eighth-grade school at 1125 Barr St. “We’re a small school so

Horseshoes tourney joins 2015 Monroeville festival By Garth Snow
dards including bingo, food, a parade and stage shows return to the schedule, but 2015 marks the debut of the horseshoes tournament. “It started with the July 4 celebration here in Monroeville. My dad started it about six years ago,â€? Farnsworth said. “And we had a whole lot of people win trophies over the years. “My dad needed help and I helped him. And when my dad passed away about four years ago I took over. Actually this will be the ďŹ rst year that we’ve had it at the Monroeville days down at the pavilion.â€? It’s free. Players should register with Farnsworth by calling (260) 623-3591. “The stakes are 40 feet apart and everybody has two shoes. You have a partner and he’s at the other end,â€? Farnsworth explained. “And of course the ladies get to move up an extra 5 feet. “And you play against two people and you try to ring [the horseshoes] on a post down there. You have to be within a shoe’s width from the post for it to count as a point, and if you get it
gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Brad Farnsworth owes his horseshoe-pitching style to his late father, Bill Farnsworth. “I throw end over end. That’s the way my dad always did it, and that’s how I learned,� he said. But the organizer and judge of the Monroeville Harvest Festival horseshoes tournament understands that some contestants prefer to sling the shoes sideways. Whatever style the players choose, they will be tossing the same shoes. “I furnish the horseshoes. I’ve got enough there for everybody. In fact, that’s one of the rules, that you have to use my horseshoes,� he said. Competition horseshoes are not just borrowed from a barn wall. “They’re specially made horseshoes,� he said. Any challenges can be presented to the judge. That would be Farnsworth. The pitching begins at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 8, the closing day of the three-day festival. Longtime festival stan-

on the post that’s a ringer and that’s three points, and you go to 21.� Farnsworth no longer awards points for shoes that rest against the post. “A leaner was supposed to be two points, but we quit counting those,� he said. “But you’re the closest to the post, so you get one point.� The leaner might still count, somewhere else. “I don’t know whether it’s gone, but that’s the way I rule it,� Farnsworth said.
In case of a close call, Farnsworth will ask the players to agree on a call. “But if they don’t agree, I measure and find out exactly who won the point,� he said. “And if it’s too close to call, then it’s just a tie and nobody gets a point.� The tournament ends when one team hits 21 for the last time. “The guys like to win that trophy,� Farnsworth said. “We have a few players from Hoagland and most of them are from around here. I have
had people from Van Wert, Ohio, come over and play. We have a fenced-off area, so nobody can get inside where they’ll be hit by horseshoes, but the wives and kids come and watch. It’s fun to play and it’s also fun to watch them. Some people can’t throw a horseshoe very well at all but they still have fun. It’s pretty easy to learn.� Farnsworth owns a distinctive set of horseshoes. “I’ve got a set of one that’s red and one that’s
blue, because of the Fourth of July celebration. And we painted the stake white,� he said. Farnsworth’s Saturday afternoon event will have competition. The trivia contest begins right after the Saturday morning parade. “We will have 5-year-olds to 100-year-olds, so everybody’s welcome,� festival President Jeff Nolan said. The trivia contest is free. The backyard corn hole tournament begins at about 2 p.m. Saturday. A team of two players can sign up for $20. “There are a lot of people who play corn hole and there are a lot of people who are dead serious about it,� Nolan said. “That’s why we call it backyard, because I guess people worry about the bag size and the bag weight and whatever. We’re not getting that serious about it.� See the Community Calendar for a closer look at the festival schedule.

Fort Wayne to throw free, community party The Fort Wayne Parks Department plans a free, community party from 5:30-9:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 28, at Headwaters Park East. Parks & Recreation Director Al Moll made the announcement at Lakeside Park in a joint appearance with Mayor Tom Henry. The occasion was the announcement that Fort Wayne had received its sixth Playful City USA designation. “One way we’re celebrating play this year is that we’re inviting the whole family to come out to play at a free community party as we celebrate 110 years of family fun in our park system,” Moll
said. T h e ev e n t w i l l include food and giveaways, carnival games, inflatables, horse-drawn carriage rides, face painting, visits from the Fort Wayne Fire and Police departments, and several stage performances, including the local band Trichotomous Hippopotamus at 7:15 p.m. Fort Wayne is the largest city in Indiana to achieve the Playful City USA designation, with only five Hoosier cities qualifying. “I continue to be encouraged by the positive momentum and investments we’re expe-

riencing in the city of Fort Wayne,” Henry
said. “Receiving national recognition for our
world-class park system is a tremendous honor as we work together to make a meaningful difference in our community. We’re committed to building an excellent quality of life and providing residents and families with unique opportunities to enjoy.” KaBOOM!, the national nonprofit organization dedicated to saving play, created Playful City USA in 2007 to help local governments address the Play Deficit by ensuring that children have the time and space they need to play. “To further encourage play and activity for youth, and to keep the momentum going,” Moll
said, “we’ve installed three new playground pieces in Lions Park, we’re issuing requests for proposals this summer for new accessible playground equipment in Bass Park and we’re partnering with Purdue University and Cardinal Community Hoops Program to renovate the outdoor basketball court at Jennings Recreation Center.” Two other projects currently in the planning stage are the splash pad at Franklin School Park and a new playground in Hamilton Park.
Two candidates join Fort Wayne city elections By Aimee Ambrose aambrose@kpcmedia.com
The ballot for the 2015 municipal elections in Fort Wayne is officially set with a couple of changes since the primary elections in May. July 6 was the deadline for the Republican and Democratic parties to file paperwork for unclaimed party candidate spots following the May primaries. July 6 was also the deadline to certify nominated Libertarian
Party candidates, as well as write-in candidates. The updated ballot shows Democrat Mike Conley will face Republican Paul Ensley for the City Council’s District 1 seat held by Republican Tom Smith, who lost to Ensley in the Republican primary. Conley, a business broker and musician, announced his candidacy in June. Meanwhile, Tabitha Dyck was nominated by the Libertarian Party
to run in the council’s at-large race. The nursing student will go up against the Republican and Democratic candidates. Both parties have three nominees vying for the three at-large seats up for grabs this year. On the Republican side, Councilman John Crawford is running for re-election and is joined by Michael Barranda and Tom Freistroffer. Terry Anderson, Mike Avila and Michelle Cham-
bers are the Democratic candidates. At-large councilmen Marty Bender, Republican, and John Shoaff, Democrat, are not seeking re-election this year. Art center owner Dan Swartz gathered signatures to run as an independent at-large council candidate, but according to a July 1 Facebook post, he decided not to enter the race. He said business commitments would prevent him from giving adequate time and attention to a candi-
dacy. The rest of the races in Fort Wayne remain unchanged since the primaries. Democrat Mayor Tom Henry faces Republican City Councilman Mitch Harper in the mayoral election. Republican Councilman Russ Jehl is up against Democrat Michelle Morris for the District 2 seat. Republican Councilman Tom Didier is unopposed in the second district.
Republican Jason Arp and Democrat Rusty York are vying for Harper’s District 4 seat. Democrat Councilman Geoff Paddock is unopposed in District 5. Sixth District Councilman Glynn Hines faces Republican Joe Renner. Democrat deputy city clerk Angie Davis and Republican Lana Keesling are the candidates looking to succeed Sandy Kennedy as city clerk. Election day is Nov. 3.

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.

Hoot succeeds 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

KIDS from Page A1 staff,” she said, as she joined parents and staff at a park bench in the shade of the trees surrounding the Salomon home. Children ran sack races and played games as Watson described a typical day at camp. “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,” she 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.” 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.”

They are in charge of taking care of all the produce and the sales from 4 to 7 p.m. here at Salomon Farm.” Hippensteel is spending her first summer with the program. “I am a substitute teacher for the Southwest Allen

DeafLink responds to call for videophones By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com
When DeafLink became a division of The League for the Blind & Disabled in 2006, its mission was to give the deaf and hard of hearing community throughout northeast Indiana a voice and a seat at the community table.
Its advocacy work over the last nine years has not only increased awareness about the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, but also has led to multiple changes to benefit the community. One such change deals with something many people take for granted — a phone call.
This year, DeafLink spearheaded a project to install videophones throughout the area to make phone communication more accessible and affordable for the deaf community. While The League offices have had the technology for some time, as of this spring, the Allen County Public

Library and Fort Wayne International Airport do, too. “We’re looking to make Fort Wayne more of an accessible city for people who are deaf and hard of hearing who need access to phone communication,” said DeafLink Director Garth Sponseller. Much like FaceTime or Skype, the videophone functions based on the same visual concept. Video relay services, set up across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, use qualified sign language interpreters who are set up in call stations to interpret a conversation between a deaf person and a hearing person in order to carry on a fluid conversation. The videophones are open to the public to make necessary daily phone calls such as making medical appointments, job interviews and more. It’s all about accessibility, said Sponseller,

who knows the value in that. Sponseller’s parents are both deaf, which has made him aware of the need for programs such as phone communication to provide equal opportunities within the community and all aspects of life. “While growing up as kids, my brothers and I would make important phone calls for my parents like to the bank for instance,” Sponseller said. “So, if you can imagine, as children we had to facilitate these conversations that required a lot of knowledge base and language mastery, which is too much responsibility for a child.” Before videophones, the teletypewriter was being used for communication purposes but, with American Sign Language being their first language, most deaf or hard-of-hearing people have difficulty communicating effectively with the equipment.
“The struggle to communicate in English with ASL as your first language is comparable to asking a Spanish speaking individual to start communicating in English fluently,” Sponseller said. Enter the videophone, which has revolutionized the industry and allows for better communication, which in turn encourages systemic change. Such change throughout the community is promising for the future of the deaf community, said Sponseller. “It’s exciting,” Sponseller said. “For myself, growing up within a deaf family I can personally see and know what things that we lacked access to growing up.” The work isn’t done. Sponseller said the hope now is for more businesses to implement services for those with disabilities to see equal opportunity more fully realized.

Larger chapel to highlight Luers’ emphasis on faith By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Bishop Luers High School will expand the chapel and move it to the front entrance as part of a $4 million project. “Anyone who enters Bishop Luers will know exactly what we’re about,” Principal Tiffany Albertson told supporters at a reception to extend the Faith in Our Future appeal to the public. That initiative already has garnered 141 pledges totaling $2.7 million. Mary Keefer, a former Luers principal and parent, said Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades urged the school to emphasize the spiritual importance of the chapel as part of the renovation and addition. “It’s an old renovated classroom with water stains. Bishop Rhoades wants the chapel front and center, and of course we all agree,” Keefer said. “So we looked and looked for how to do that and decided to move the library back and put the chapel right inside the front door.” “The chapel we have now is tiny,” said theology teacher Marilyn Fech. “And it is spiritual;
the presence of Christ is there. But it has been neglected so long. It’s got to set off bells and whistles in your mind: Is religion really the most important thing at this school? So the idea of a new chapel, a larger chapel, is just so important, not just to me as a theology teacher but to what we’re saying that we are as a school.” The chapel’s seating capacity will grow from 44 to 180. “We can have a whole grade level in the chapel, but we still will have the all-school Mass in the gymnasium,” Albertson said. She said that focus on the new Chapel of Saint Francis is central to Luers’ strong tradition of Catholic education, and will help students grow in their faith. “They grow and learn while they are here, and we hope that they leave Bishop Luers as men and women of faith who value service to others,” she said. “We frequently tell our students to see Christ in others and be Christ to others. We want them to do this as they become, as our mission says, the light of the world.” The performing arts
center will be expanded and upgraded by breaking down walls to encompass the existing cafetorium and the grassy area beyond. “Right now, when we have a play take place in here, we can’t have 300 people in here at the same time,” Development Director Kathy Skelly told the audience gathered in that cafetorium. Other major objectives of the renovation are expanding and modernizing the media center and library, and completing the doublepane windows and other energy-efficiency measures that were begun under the $3.1 million Phase 1 of the renovation. Jerry and Becky Henry serve as campaign co-chairmen. Jerry Henry said his wife worked in the Luers’ development office, and each of their children graduated from Luers. “All of our kids went on to colleges and were very well prepared,” he said. “I credit the foundation here at Luers. And it’s time for us to pay back. This school, this instituSee LUERS, Page A14

it’s important to the South Side parishes, it’s important to the South Side merchants, the neighborhoods,” he said. “The South Side, I think, we get a bad rap now and then. When was the last time someone spent in excess of $4 million in this corridor? And I think we can be proud of that, and we’re glad to spearhead this campaign, and it’s a sense of duty for my family.” Albertson could not offer an exact start date for the project. “Before we begin any construction, we have to have 100 percent pledged and 50 percent in hand,” she said. The work might be separated into phases, depending on the pledges. “The construction is also dependent upon our school schedule. The chapel and media center work will be very intrusive to the school day, so we will have to do those during the summer.” She said she hopes that work on at least one element will begin next summer. “My dream is that I’m gonna wake up and it’s done,”

she said. About 70 percent of the Luers staff has pledged donations. Still other requests are awaiting responses. “You get some people who are waiting to see what actually is going to happen and then they jump on board as the momentum
gets started,” Skelly said. Keefer was Luers principal for 18 years before retiring in June 2014, and served during the previous capital campaign. “We did some lighting in the gymnasium,” she said. “We put on the whole front facade. You’ll notice that
the windows in the front are new and the windows in the back are not. We shored up a lot of things that needed it. This is a 50-year-old lady and we have an awesome maintenance man, but we need those kinds of things that tuition just doesn’t pay for.” Albertson asked Luers supporters to help by giving if possible and by telling others about the project. “Share, pray, give. There’s more than one way to support the capital program,” she said. “A campaign happens when people are committed to it, and a campaign happens when people pledge,” Skelly said. Potential donors may contact Skelly for more information or a tour of the school at 333 E. Paulding Road, Fort Wayne. Email kskelly@ bishopluers.org. Hoch Associates of Fort Wayne is the architect on the project. For more information about the Faith in Our Future campaign, visit bishopluers.org.

Classic cars, street rods Rolling into Roanoke By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com
Vintage, classic and one-of-a-kind — the annual Rolling into Roanoke car show will bring in car enthusiasts, roaring engines and local flavors. The Rolling into Roanoke classic car show will be going on in downtown Roanoke on July 25. The event will be held from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., complete with vintage cars, food vendors, live entertainment and a farmers market. Admission is free. The boutiques downtown will also be open to shoppers attending the event. “We want this to become a tradition,” said Rick Fischer, a chairman for the event. “We truly believe this is one of the
premier auto shows in the Midwest.” Proceeds benefit the Roanoke Beautification Foundation program that improves and maintains the streets, parks and public meeting areas throughout downtown Roanoke. This year, the funds will be used to install street lamps in the downtown district as well as contribute to an endowment fund used to preserve the historic town area. “We’ll be using the funds to help maintain and sustain the event commons area property on downtown Main Street with beautification needs such as landscape, flowers and such for people to enjoy and relax,“ Fischer said. Some of the funds will
also go to support the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum and Natmus Museum, both in Auburn, in efforts to preserve the historical automotive history, Fischer said. Returning for its second year, the auto show will pay tribute to the late Randy Williams, a native of Roanoke and local Pontiac collector who passed away from a brain tumor. “He had a real passion and love for Pontiacs,” Fischer said. “His collection of cars has been nationally recognized for being extremely rare, limited productions of Pontiac SD Trans Ams and factory race cars from the early ’60s.” The show will feature several classes of cars

Harlan Days festival back for 67th year By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com
Over half a century and counting — Harlan Days Fair and Festival returns for its 67th year entertaining crowds. The celebration will be July 30 to Aug. 1 at the Harlan Community Park. Events will commence at 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday. The third annual Harlan Hustle 5k will start at 8 a.m. Saturday, with registration at 7:30 a.m. The first male and female to complete the race will win a prize. The parade will be held that same morning following the 5k. Funds raised during the event go toward maintaining the parks. “It’s actually the only fundraiser that we do to help maintain the park,” said Sally Lake, the vice president of the Harlan Community Association. “Each year, the funds are used to take care of the buildings and grounds. “This year our theme is ‘Celebrate Freedom’ and we’re going to get local veterans to ride on a float for the parade. We’d like to get as many veterans as possible and they’ll be our grand marshals and honorary citizens for the day.” The festival is working with the local VFW, the Freedom Riders and other groups. Dust off the cowboy boots and hat for the most anticipated event of the festival — the Harlan Days Rodeo show. The King Brothers rodeo show will include bull riding and barrel racing starting at 7 p.m. Friday. Admission is $10. Local crafters are
encouraged to set up a booth and showcase their work in the craft tent. “The crafts are all made by local artisans who come in and sell their work,” said Lake. Renee Ely, who coordinates the craft tents, has sent reminders to 100 vendors from years past. She said crafters may show their creations from 5-10 p.m. Thursday and Friday and from 10 a.m. Saturday until the festival closes. “There will be a lot of crocheted items and blankets and handcrafted things. There will be bows and tutus and stuff for little girls,” Ely said. “We usually get homemade jewelry and people who do glassware.” Ely is a longtime volunteer, who said she

enjoys contributing to the festival. “I’ve lived
within 5 miles my whole life. I just like to help
with Harlan Days,” she said. “I’ve helped with
mostly the craft tent, but I’ve also helped with the food line.” “And our church is always in charge of the doughnut tent, along with the Woodburn Lions,” Ely said. “Oh my gosh, those doughnuts are good, especially the sugar ones.” Tickets will be sold for a raffle with the grand prize being a 2015 Chevy Spark. Tickets are $10 each. The winning ticket will be drawn at 10:30 p.m. Saturday. If fewer than 2,500 tickets are sold, a 50/50 cash prize will be awarded. The winner does not have to be present. Nine other prizes also will be awarded. See the Community Calendar for a closer look at the festival schedule.

With physical accessibility comes acceptance from others. Debbie Wagner
Born with cerebral palsy, Debbie Wagner has spent her life exceeding expectations. “I was raised to believe that hard work pays off, and ‘I can’t’ was not allowed in my vocabulary,” she says. Although she relies on a wheelchair or crutches for mobility, Debbie lives independently, holds a job at Do it Best Corp., loves to swim and enjoys traveling around the world. “Accessibility has opened up many opportunities for me,” she says. “Before the Americans with Disabilities Act, my schools were not wheelchair accessible, but once I got to Ball State University where everything was accessible, it was a touch of heaven — and that was just the start.” See more of Debbie’s story at awsfoundation.org/ADA25

Fresh foods in spotlight at festive farm markets By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Shoppers and growers ďŹ nd something unique about each of the farmers markets around Fort Wayne, but most agree that freshness is the No. 1 attraction. Wendy Flotow of Country Garden and Farm Market in Roanoke sells produce at a Saturday morning downtown market and the Wednesday evening Salomon Farm market on Dupont Road. Flotow joined vendors at the Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana Market at the northeast corner of
Wayne and Barr streets. Fort Wayne Farmers Market also operates a market on the southeast corner. “We also sell at the farm,â€? Flotow said. “You name it, we probably grow it. We have 18 acres and we have 12 acres in production. It beneďŹ ts the customers because they’re getting local and fresh produce. People know where their produce is coming from.â€? The produce she takes to Barr Street is picked on Friday, and the owers might even be picked Saturday morning. The produce

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.

Aktion Club fosters leadership, service By Linda Lipp llipp@kpcmedia.com
Individual empowerment can come from collective community action. That’s one of the theories behind Kiwanis International’s Aktion Club program for adults with physical and intellectual challenges. Aktion Club’s motto is: “Where development has no disability.” “Its primary goal is service to the community,” said Kiwanian Stan
Sneeringer, who helped found and continues to mentor the Johnny Appleseed Aktion Club in Fort Wayne. The members learn leadership skills, develop initiative and get a chance to help the community, “and not just be seen as the recipient of largesse,” Sneeringer said. The Johnny Appleseed chapter is neither the first nor the only Aktion Club in northeast Indiana. Chapters operate in Kendallville, Auburn
and Angola, said Kiwanis lieutenant governor Rachel Jordan. Aktion Clubs are members of the Kiwanis family, just like high school Key Clubs, college level Circle K Clubs, middle school Builders Clubs and K Kids for elementary age youngsters, Jordan said. “It gives them a chance to serve in a way they couldn’t do on their own,” she said. Each Aktion Club must have a Kiwanis Club sponsor as well as
a local agency sponsor. Sneeringer was with the Northwest Summit City Kiwanis several years ago when it decided to launch the Johnny Appleseed chapter. The Northwest Summit group later merged with the John Chapman Kiwanis Club, which continues as sponsor. Many Aktion Clubs are part of day programs offered by a local social service agency and meet at that agency’s facilities. When Easter Seals Arc agreed to sponsor Johnny Appleseed,
however, it wanted to reach beyond its own clients, Sneeringer said. So the club meets on the first and third Wednesday evenings each month at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Fort Wayne. It is open to any individual over 18 with a disability. Delia Falk, of Easter Seals Arc, mentors the group along with Sneeringer, offering advice and assistance as needed. But the club members elect their own officers and boards, run their own meetings and

raise funds for the club and to donate to other organizations in the community. “Delia and I try to stay out of the way as much as possible,” Sneeringer said. The club averages about 25 members, some of whom have been with the group since the beginning. Participants answer the roll call at each meeting with the number of volunteer hours they’ve put in since the meeting before. Fundraising for Aktion Club, as for other nonprofits, can be a challenge. The group sells McDonald’s coupon books each year and last spring hosted a sort of prom for members, family and friends that sold out. The goal is to make about $1,000 a year. “We try something that’s doable, a goal that may be a stretch but is reachable,” Sneeringer said. Aktion Club rules let chapters keep funds they raise among themselves, but money raised in the community goes back to the community, Jordan said.

Yard signs are reminder: ‘Kids dart. Drive smart.’ By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Lutheran Children’s Hospital is helping to remind motorists to be more alert for pedestrians with the approach of the new school year. “Kids Dart. Drive Smart.” yard signs again are available at local fire stations and in the south lobby of Lutheran Hospital, 7950 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne. Annette Chard, registered nurse, is the trauma program manager for Lutheran, where she has worked for five years. “We have people approach us for the signs every year,” Chard said.
“Pretty much every day, I hear that the signs do remind people to slow down.” Lutheran Health Network public information coordinator Lizette Downey said more children are walking to school because of changing busing policies. She provided cards with a list of safety tips. Pedestrians are reminded to cross at street corners, look both ways before crossing the street, make eye contact with drivers, and watch out for cars that are backing up. Drivers are reminded to avoid distracted driving and intoxicated driving. Downey said Lutheran also is giving a supply of signs to schools, to distribute as they wish.

Angola Fire Department public information officer T.R. Hagerty accepts 100 “Kids dart. Drive smart.” signs from Annette Chard, the trauma program manager at Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne.
Lutheran recently welcomed a visit from Angola Fire department public information officer
T.R. Hagerty, who picked up about 100 “Kids dart. Drive Smart.” signs to post along Steuben County streets and
sidewalks. Hagerty said his department has supported “Kids dart. Drive smart” for about five years. “We
think it’s a pretty positive program,” he said. Geneva Volunteer Fire Department Captain Bart Booth picked up 75 signs in the Berne area. He said the department embraces the program every year. “Kids dart” is a partnership with Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health. According to the Lutheran website, pedestrian injury is the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 5 to 14.

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. • Keep your head and SEE SAFETY TIPS, PAGE B5

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 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 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.

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 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.

How to save on school supplies METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION
exercising patience when it comes to buying school supplies for their children. Teachers often give students lists of supplies they will need for each class, and parents who wait to receive such lists can avoid spending money on items their kids won’t need. Even if you wait it out, you may be able to get a head start, as some teachers may post supply lists on school websites, while others might email lists to parents before back to school season hits full swing. • Take inventory. If you have more than one child, chances are you already have lots of school supplies around the house. Dust off kids’ backpacks and study areas from last school year to determine which supplies you need to buy and which you already have. Going
Back to school season can be as expensive for parents as it is exciting for students. Once the initial letdown of the end of summer vacation wears off, many kids are excited to return to school, where they can see their friends, study their favorite subjects and participate in extracurricular activities. Parents of school-aged youngsters may share in that excitement while also knowing that back to school season can stretch their budgets. One of the ways to salvage those budgets is to save on school supplies. Fortunately, there are several ways parents can do just that. • Be patient. Shopping early can save shoppers money in many instances, but parents may benefit by
forward, encourage kids to store their supplies in a predetermined area once the school year ends, as this will make next year’s inventory that much easier to examine and assess. • Spend more now to save later. While inexpensive supplies can be hard to resist, such items likely won’t withstand the test of time, forcing you to spend time and money each year buying replacement supplies. Paying more now for certain items, including stronger backpacks and more highly rated calculators, may end up saving you money in the long run, even if the initial pill is somewhat tough to swallow. • Use technology to your advantage. Department stores and businesses that sell school supplies, such as phar-

macies and office stores, may or may not discount too many items once back to school season hits full swing. But savvy parents can still find deals by using technology to their advantage when shopping for school supplies. Download apps like RetailMeNot to your smartphone and enable its updates so your phone essentially notifies you of any discounts the moment you walk into a given store. If you don’t receive any updates, search for discounts via the app or the Internet as you shop. Chances are strong that there are deals to be had, even if you don’t learn of the deals until you arrive at the store. School supplies can be expensive, but parents can employ several strategies to save on school supplies now and in the future.

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. We currently have 103,” she said. “I think one big thing is networking, meeting women from other professions. 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 complete 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. Visit myewga.com/ fortwayneinchapter for more information about the local chapter.
FARM from Page B1 “So we like to come down on Saturdays and get fresh produce and see all the regular vendors. You can get fresh flowers. It’s a great little farmer’s market.” Fort Wayne Farmers Market operates a summer market each Saturday morning at the southeast corner of Wayne and Barr streets. “We aren’t competing markets, we just offer our vendors year-round fees since we run the original indoor market at Parkview Field,” said Leigh Rowan, market coordinator. “We are a producer-only market and the only farmers market that inspects the farms to try and ensure that none of the food is coming from auctions.” Doreen Conarty of The Rustic Farm in Roanoke also takes produce to two markets. She brought vegetables and her artisan bread to the season’s first Wednesday evening market at Schnelker Park in New Haven. “I was here last year and I really enjoyed the venue,” she said. “The Wednesday harvest is really important for me. If I sell just on Saturdays, I’ll have things ripening on the vine or in the field that need to be harvested on Wednesday and hopefully sold on Wednesday. I still have enough time

I have radishes, baby romaine, green onions, turnips, sugar snap peas, dill, mint and a salad mix.” Nearby, other farmers were transitioning into summer crops. Some markets also allow growers to supplement their offerings with produce from out of state
or from within a specific radius. So South Carolina peaches might share a table with Midwest greenhouse tomatoes and Fort Wayne greens. Vendors also bring fresh eggs or frozen meats in keeping with the markets’ varying guidelines. And quite often there is also food. A steady line of customers waited at Suzana da Silva’s stand at the YLNI market on Barr Street, to select from two dozen varieties of Xisco’s all-natural frozen pops. The New Haven market was filled with the scene of Andy’s
Knockout Chicken. Visitors might sample coffee, or admire jewelry, or stock up on honey, pies and bread, locally made
soap, candles, lotions or barbecue sauce and rubs. Open air music also enriches the atmosphere. Gene Donnelly brought his acoustic rock to a recent downtown market. Local artists perform from the porch of Biggby Coffee during Thursday evening markets at Georgetown
Square. Steve Douglas entertained at the June 24 New Haven market. “I think it’s a good showing for the first market of the season,” said Natalie Rider, the New Haven Parks Department office manager and a produce shopper. “To have live music is really nice.”

Local author pens second novel: By Ryan Schwab rschwab@kpcnews.com
Local author Marci Jefferson describes her earliest writings as “horrible stories about ridiculous things.” Her recent work, however, is being praised nationally. In August, Jefferson will have her second historical
fiction novel – “Enchantress of Paris” – published, making it her second published work in an 18-month span. Her first novel – “The Girl on the Golden Coin” – was published in February of 2014 and has received strong reviews in the historical fiction community. It took her eight years to finish her first
book. This recent piece came together in just nine months. “(My publisher) wants an average of about a year in between books,” Jefferson said. “I cannot believe I accomplished this in nine months when it took me eight years to write ‘Girl on the Golden Coin.’ ” The new book is set
to be released on Tuesday, Aug. 4. Jefferson will sign books Jefferson at 7 that evening at the Jefferson Pointe Barnes & Noble. The book is available for $25.99.

Book release and signing event planned for Aug. 4 Jefferson said she found her love of history while she was in high school in Yorktown, Va,, a place that she said will still tell Revolutionary War and Civil War stories. Her mother, who majored in and taught history before going back to school to become a nurse, pushed her into nursing. “I think she considered (nursing) more practical, so I did it, but the history is starting to win out,” Jefferson said. Jefferson’s historical passion takes her into 17th century Europe. “Girl on the Golden Coin” centered on Frances Stuart, whose influence over England’s Charles II and rejection of three of the seventeenth century’s most illustrious kings became the talk of a nation. “Enchantress of Paris” sees Jefferson fictionalizing the life of Marie Mancini, who — according to the alignment of the stars at her birth — was gifted in divinity but destined to disgrace her family. Instead, she defied fate and Europe’s most powerful Cardinal to protect her family, France and help King Louis XIV become the world’s most powerful monarch. Her biggest challenge in the process of these novels,
Jefferson said, was doing enough research to be historically accurate. “There are no fictional characters in the novel. They are all historical figures. Everyone in that book, lived,” she said. “I read as many biographies as I could and tried to be as historically accurate as I could. I wanted to let the history build and shape the plot. That requires a great deal of research. It’s not just writing for historical fiction writers, it’s intense research. It was a lot of work.” Jefferson said she next will publish a short story as part of a World War I anthology centering on Armistice Day called “A Fall of Poppies,” to be published in 2016. “I am married to a saint, honestly,” she said with a laugh. “My kids were very patient and supportive.” She and her husband, Kevin, have been married for 18 years and have lived in Fort Wayne for 13 years. They live in the Laurel Ridge addition, off of Carroll Road just south of the Allen County Fairgrounds They have two children, Dalton, 11, and Delaney, 10. She works as a registered nurse at the Allergy and Asthma Center near the intersection of Dupont Road and Tonkel Road in Fort Wayne.

Farm program to address agricultural developments By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com
The New Haven Chamber of Commerce will host an Ag Appreciation Day to thank farmers for feeding America. The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 5 at Jefferson Township Park in New Haven.
Speakers and guests will educate attendees on changing trends within the field of agriculture such as tax laws. “We’re having a speaker come to explain how farmers are able to move property on to the next generation without suffering huge taxes and things of that nature,” said
Charlie Hatten, president of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. More than 500 area farmers are expected to attend the event. The day will also be used to encourage the up-and-coming generation to get involved in the agriculture industry. “There’s a real issue
right now with family farms and kids choosing to opt out of the agriculture business,” Hatten said. The chamber is attempting to preserve the farmers’ way of life by encouraging Future Farmers of America members to consider agriculture as a career. “The primary reason
we do Ag Appreciation day is to support the FFA students from Woodland and Heritage,” said Hatten. “We also do it to support the agriculture related businesses that serve the farmers in northeast Indiana.” The day will start off with a pancake breakfast with offerings going toward
FFA projects and programs. Guest speakers, exhibits and demonstrations will follow the breakfast. “We’re hoping to have a repeat this year of a really cool, special demonstration of drones that are used to monitor crops and take pictures of the fields with high-resolution cameras,” Hatten said.
Golf carts, go-carts race for reserve police benefit By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Riders on golf carts, go-carts and lawn mowers will race for trophies and bragging rights Aug. 8 in Woodburn’s third annual Front Street Drags. Festivities begin at noon and continue until 6 p.m. or later. Registration is from noon-2 p.m. Besides providing an afternoon of community fun, the event will raise money for the city’s reserve police force. “They’re a great addition to our department,” said Police Chief Randall Duhamell, who has headed the two-officer department since 2012. The volunteer reserve force has 12 officers. “They come out on their own time and provide police service. They also
assist with civic events and they also back up other police departments when they’re on duty. Many of them have to buy equipment out of their own pocket. The reserves have their own separate account and all the race registration money goes into the reserve fund once we pay for the trophies.” Duhamell began organizing the reserve force after he was hired as chief in October 2012. “I found out this was a golf cartfriendly community,” he said. So he approached the community association about a fundraising golf cart race. “The first year we had 17 entrants and about 200 spectators. The second year we had 31 entrants, and about 400 spectators,” he said. Each racer pays a $20
fee. Advance registration is recommended. To register, call Woodburn City Hall at (260) 632-5318. Drivers must be at least 18 years of age. Spectator admission is free. The race course is a one-tenth-mile section — 528 feet — of Front Street on the north side of Woodburn City Park. The nine divisions include golf carts, go-carts, utility vehicles, Cushman go-carts and lawn mowers. The tenth trophy is the Mayor’s Cup for best of show. Duhamell said a local restaurant will offer food and drinks for sale. A local business will set up a beer tent for adults. A disc jockey will provide music. For updates and a video clip, visit Woodburn Police Department on Facebook.
