Respect and history share flights By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
By Garth Snow Honor Flight volunteers Deb Kindler and Bob Meyer speak affectionately of Albert Stiles. They recall less than a year ago, when the World War II veteran and retired Fort Wayne musician joined 70 other Fort Wayne area veterans on a flight to see the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Meyer was Honor Flight Northeast Indiana president — a title that he still holds. Kindler was Stiles’ volunteer guardian for the day. Honor Flight 12 will fly April 30. Flight 13 will leave and return to Fort Wayne on May 28. With those flights, Meyer said, Honor Flight Northeast Indiana will have carried 880 World War II veterans to Washington. When Flight 14 takes off Oct. 1, it will carry some of the 200 Korean War veterans on Meyer’s waiting list. The older

veterans have priority. The survivors of a world war are now battling time itself. Stiles made the flight in 2013. He died Jan. 2, 2014, at age 91. Stiles had served in the Army during the war. Back in the states, he became owner of Al Stiles World’s Best

About 47 percent of Allen County’s election precincts will vote in new locations on primary election day, May 6. Elections Director Beth Dlug said the changes are intended to direct voters to the nearest possible voting places. She said her office offers help online and will notify voters by mail. If all else fails, voters may call (260) 449-7329. “We’re doing everything in our power to put the word out to check polling locations,” Dlug said. Allen County maintains 115 polling places and 675 voting machines. More than 1,200 election-day workers help to serve more than 250,000 voters. She said years of adjustments made it necessary to revamp voting assignments. “Generally the whole thing starts because someone decides they don’t want to be in the

So we may not put them in the closest voting location, because that voting location may not have room.

RESPECT from Page A1 Stiles’ full-time guardian for the day. “It entails being glued to him for the day, and you don’t ever let him out of your sight,” she said. “You’re there to make sure they have a good time, that they’re taken care of.” For Kindler, Stiles’ passing was a reminder of the urgency of taking World War II veterans to see the monuments. Her father, Raymond Coe, was a Navy pilot in the Pacific in World War II — “and he saw a lot.” “He died in 1989, and a few years after he died I was helping my mom with her checking account and paying bills and things like that, and I saw she was donating money to build a World War II memorial,” Kindler said of her work with her mother, MaryJane, who now also is deceased. “And I said ‘Mom, stop doing that. Why are you sending them money?’ And she said, ‘Because I want to help build this memorial.’ ” Kindler said her father would not have admitted that he wanted to visit such a memorial. “I think the war affected him. He never talked about it,” she said. “I wish the memorial had been there long ago, when my dad could have seen it, because they deserve it,” she said. Kindler works with

Honor Flight Roanoke. The committee works from Roanoke American Legion Post 160, but is not part of the Legion. Nor is the committee an official part of Honor Flight Northeast Indiana. But the Huntington County community raises a lot of money for the wider cause. “That’s a fabulous group that’s done an unbelievable amount of financial support for us — $72,000 in four years,” Meyer said before yet another fundraiser, on April 12. “They’re a phenomenal group of people.” That silent auction at the Legion was the third auction for the Roanoke committee, which will take a break from its traditional fall fundraiser because of competition from other festivals. Hotels and businesses throughout the area contribute. Other sale items have included Colts tickets, a chainsaw and gravel for driveways. Meyer said other Fort
Wayne businesses are planning fundraisers, with details to be announced. Meyer is a veteran of 32 years with the Air National Guard in Fort Wayne. He retired in July 2002, with the rank of colonel. He later heard about the Honor Flight from other veterans, and talked with then-President Laura Carrico. Then Tiffany Flemming became president. Then Meyer became president. He said his wife, Sandie, also works on the board. Max Robison is vice president. “There are about three or four of us who work almost full time on it,” Meyer said.
Meyer has a Leesburg address. Most of the 16 leaders live in or near Fort Wayne. For details on the organization, or to apply as a veteran or a guardian, visit hfnei.org. Meyer said Honor Flight originated in Springfield, Ohio, in 2004, when a retired Air Force captain working in a VA hospital “was talking with some of the vets about the new memorial that took 60 years to build.” Those veterans had no way of visiting the capital, Meyer said, and so volunteers met the challenge. The first flight took 12 World War II veterans to the capital. As
of Nov. 15, Honor Flights had carried 117,500 veterans to see the monuments. The national office remains where the movement started, in Springfield, Ohio. Meyer said northeast Indiana’s is the senior of Indiana’s three groups. Honor Flight organizations also operate from Lafayette and Indianapolis. The Fort Wayne committee will charter an AirBus 320 from US Airways Charter. The cost to transport 70 veterans, 70 guardians and eight trip and bus leaders is about $44,000 for the day. Unlike most members of the volunteer Roanoke committee, Tom Meyers is a veteran. He served in Vietnam. He said more World War II veterans keep applying for the Honor Flights, which eventually will accommodate other veterans. “This isn’t gonna stop with the Korean vets. It’s going to go on to the Vietnam
vets,” he said. “I’ve got 165 Korean vets signed up to go, and probably 10 Vietnam vets signed up to go.” “The Vietnam thing — I had reservations,” Meyers said. “I was gonna get off the board when it came time for that, because I just didn’t want to be part of it then. But after thinking about it, I want to be part of it because I want to see their welcome home.” “My first trip to D.C. was very emotional for me, when we got off the plane there, and all these people were cheering the guys,” he said. Meyers said veterans and guardians spend most of their time at the World War II Memorial, but also might see the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or the Lincoln Memorial. Three tour buses will carry the group to Arlington National Cemetery, where they will watch the changing See RESPECT, Page A4

Ashley Black leads Roanoke’s effort to gather auction items. “I’m just not afraid to talk to anybody. The worst they can do is tell me no,” Black said. “All the businesses in Roanoke are usually on board with it. We don’t even have to ask sometimes.” Black, too, has served as a guardian. “I went on a flight in 2011 with a gentleman from Huntington, and it was just the most memorable experience of my life,” she said. “It’s up there in the top five days of my life.” Veterans will be greeted by people cheering and dancing. “They make it a huge party for them,” Black
said. “When you arrive, you have these men who are in a shell, and they don’t want to talk about their experience. But by the end of the day you see them open up and shed some of the baggage that they’ve carried for these years,” she said. “And when you see them stand there at the World War II Memorial — and I’m getting choked up, because it’s so amazing — they see that they are appreciated, and you know they are the greatest generation. “And by the time of the flight home, those men are talking and sharing stories, and it’s just like they’re kids again.” “We make them feel as special as we possibly can,” she said. Black estimated that 15 veterans from Huntington County have been part of the flights.
Meyers said Tom Kelley and family stepped forward last fall, when the Air National Guard at the Fort Wayne International Airport was idled by the federal government shutdown. “So the Kelleys let us fly out of Hangar 39,” Meyers said. Because that hangar was outside the military security area, Meyers said, “The public pretty much overran the place.” “We’re gonna fly out of the Air Guard this year. They’re gonna get breakfast there,” Meyers said. The return flight will taxi to Hangar 39, where the public again can be part of the welcome. “We want to carry on the tradition and educate the future generations about how important past generations were,” Black said, “and why you’re here, and why you get to do what you do.”

Dr. David Reichwage and Team at Fort Wayne Smiles
Offering Strickland Facelift Dentures® To Fort Wayne and Area Patients Fort Wayne- Dr. David Reichwage and the Team at Fort Wayne Smiles recently added a new denture technique to their cosmetic and laser dentistry practice. This innovative procedure creates beautiful and natural looking dentures with increased stability and comfort to denture wearers through a sophisticated process that pays careful attention to each patient’s unique physiology of chewing and facial characteristics. Traditional dentures often cause that dreaded “denture look”. This includes characteristics such as: the lips appear thin and roll inward, sunken face and wrinkles, teeth that are hidden and front teeth that are too short and back teeth that are too long, a shortened face, a weak chin. Dr. David Reichwage’s Strickland Facelift Denture technique offers new dentures that are created with an adept eye for aesthetics, rejuvenating patient appearances with facelift-quality results. Dr. David Reichwage and the Fort Wayne Smiles team received training from Dr. Rod Strickland, the author of the new technique, giving them insight into the causes of denture pain, and the collapsed appearance of many denture wearers faces. The Team at Fort Wayne Smiles is able to help patients who have been wearing dentures for years or who are looking for their first denture. For more information about Dr. David Reichwage , the Team, their services, and Strickland Facelift Dentures™, visit their website at fortwaynesmiles.com or call 260-426-1086 or e-mail fortwaynesmiles@yahoo.com.

Charity event to choose man and woman of Year
The Indiana Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has launched its 2014 Northeast Indiana Man & Woman of the Year competition to raise money in support of cancer research and patient services. This year’s candidates are: Thomas Didier, US Foods; Amy Fisher, Quest Diagnostics; Mike Kelley, Kelley Automotive Group; C. David Tolson, Buffalo Wild Wings; and Olivia Valencic-Miller, Homestead High School. All funds raised by the candidates will be accepted in honor of the LLS Boy & Girl of the Year, Caleb Hoppe, age 3, and Gianna Caccamo, age 9. Caleb and Gianna are local blood cancer patients who serve as inspiration for the candidates and LLS supporters. Every dollar raised throughout the campaign counts as one “vote” – a vote to cure cancer. The male and female candidates with the most “votes” will be awarded the title of 2014 Man & Woman of the Year at a Grand Finale Gala on Friday, May 30, at Ceruti’s Banquet & Event Center, and then will be entered in the competition for the National Man & Woman of the Year title. Tickets for the Grand Finale Gala can be purchased now through May 12 by visiting mwoy.org/pages/in/ftwayne14 or calling 616-0654 . The money raised by Man & Woman of the Year candidates over the 10-week fund raising period is used by LLS to fund research seeking cures and better therapies, and to provide information and support so that patients have the best possible outcomes throughout their cancer experience. “The Man & Woman of the Year program is a great way for candidates to network with other influential people in their communities while also helping to bring hope to thousands of blood cancer patients,” said Amy Kwas, the Indiana Chapter’s executive director. To cast a vote for this year’s Man & Woman of the Year, to attend the Grand Finale Gala on May 30, or to learn more about the campaign, visit mwoy.org/ftw or contact LLS staff Melanie Kruth at Melanie.Kruth@LLS. org or 616-0654.

Diva Dash will dash through Fort Wayne on Saturday, May 31, and a local charity will benefit. Girls and women of all ages may join the run, which last year raised more than $3,000 for a national women’s health campaign. “This year that money is going to a local group, Girls on the Run, and I think that’s a real nice fit,” said Maureen Partee, the marketing director for Georgetown Square, 6400 E. State Blvd. The 5K run/walk will step off from in front of Curves in Georgetown at 8 a.m. Registration is available online and in person through race day. Partee explained that Girls on the Run is a 10-week program for girls ages 8 to 13. “It’s to help build up their self-esteem, and the activities culminate with this run,” she said. She said Girls on the Run is slowly building, adding more schools and serving more girls in grades five through eight. “They have mentors who go into the schools and work with the girls, and just kind of build the girls up,” Partee said. An accomplishment such as finishing a race “always makes people feel good,” she said. After the program, girls receive continuing support. Those most in need will receive scholarships. Each of the GOTR entrants will be accompanied by a running buddy.

Focus on Health plans free or low-cost tests By Garth Snow
Focus on Health
gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Focus on Health will offer free health checks at 12 venues in or near Fort Wayne through May 3. The goal is to catch health risks before they advance into major problems, according to Marita Marquardt, R.N., who has directed the area health fairs since 1992. Marquardt then worked for the Red Cross, which was an in-kind sponsor of the health fair. “So part of my hours were donated to Focus on Health,” she said. Marquardt now works through the nonprofit agency full time, coordinating health fairs for adults and students. “We have added a larger selection of lab testing and health checks,” Marquardt said in an email. “We have grown from being perceived as only a ‘senior’ clientele service and encourage people in their 20s and up to take interest in their health.’” The health fairs began April 11 at the University of Saint Francis. The next is April 23 at Parkview Field. Each health fair will offer free checks of: blood pressure, body mass index, visual acuity and bone density. Patients will receive summaries and referrals. Select locations will offer: hearing checks, oral cancer screenings, foot screenings and skin screenings. Visitors need not register in advance, but will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. There are no residency requirements for the health fairs. The Francine’s Friends mobile mammography van will be available at a Huntertown health fair on May 2. For an appointment, call 483-1847. For a fee, sites also will offer blood screenings. The blood chemistry test assesses glucose, liver function, kidney function, cholesterol and other factors. The fee is $33. Patients should fast for 12 hours before the test. Diabetics should not fast, but should stay on their regular therapy schedule. The hemogram blood test carries a lab fee of $8. Separate fees apply for: prostatic specific antigen for men, $20; thyroid stimulating hormone, $20; and glucose average and vitamin D, $30. Patients must be 18 to participate in blood screening. For details, visit fohealth.com. “These are pretty reasonable prices,” Marquardt said in an interview. “The learning center exhibits are more service-oriented, not product-oriented, where people can get help or learn more about a certain topic — arthritis, sleeping disorders — or they can find out where the services are if they really need help,” she said. Marquardt said the screenings serve about 3,000 people each year. “Our numbers are down because we’re not the only one in town now,” she said. Focus on Health was a pioneer in health fairs and served as the catalyst for others, Marquardt said. The health fair concept was pioneered by Dr. John F. Brensike, according to Marquardt. “He was a cardi-

Convenient, neighborhood screenings encouraged people “to get involved in their health, be active, and not let someone else be responsible for your health,” she said. Since 1981,the Fort Wayne health fairs have served more than 146,000 adults ages 18 to 100. Although she is coordinating the spring health fairs for adults, Marquardt already is busy scheduling student health fairs this fall. “We’re trying to get to the younger kids to have them start their health habits earlier,” she said. Student health fairs are offered for grades two and three, grades four and five, and middle school. Home-school instructors may make arrangement to bring their students to health fairs in the schools. With health fairs both spring and fall, Marquardt stays busy recruiting medical and nonmedical volunteers. Marquardt works for Focus on Health under the guidance of the nonprofit Midwest Alliance for Health Education. Parkview Health is a major sponsor of the Fort Wayne area health fairs.

Canal Days’ Family Night books Rhett Walker Band The New Haven Canal Days Committee together with the New Haven Adams Township Parks and Recreation Department announced that the Rhett Walker Band will appear in a free concert Saturday evening, June 7, in Schnelker Park. The Southern and Christian rock band’s show is part of the 2014 Canal Days Festival, June 3 through 7. The time of the concert and other details remain to be determined. This will be the festival’s second Faith & Family Night, which aims to bring together all generations and all denominations to celebrate the community. In 2013, the bands Love & the Outcome and the Sidewalk Prophets drew an estimated crowd of 4,000 to New Haven for an evening in the park. Concertgoers
came from as far away as Ontario, Pennsylvania and Iowa. “Come to the River”, the Rhett Walker Band’s debut album, was released in 2012. The album’s debut single, “When Mercy Found Me,” garnered the band a Grammy nomination for Contemporary Christian Music’s song of the year in 2012. The band was later nominated for GMA Dove Awards for New Artist of the Year, Rock/ Contemporary Album of the Year and Rock/ Contemporary Song of the Year in 2013. The album-titled single was released in 2013 and charted in the Billboard Top 20. For further information on the festival, or parade or vendor entry forms, visit newhavencanaldays. wordpress.com.

Tour event adds Mad Anthonys pro-ams our relationship with Mad Anthonys and offer two pro-am events during tournament week that will benefit important local causes,” Duke Butler IV, tournament director, said in announcement on behalf of the WGA. “Mad Anthonys was a great partner in our inaugural year, and we look forward to even better things to come in 2014.” The Mad Anthonys golf tournament has a rich tradition in northeast Indiana dating back to 1957.

Other local MinuteClinic locations are
at 6729 E. State Blvd., 10180 Illinois Road, and 13821 Leo Road in Leo-Cedarville. “Since opening the first store-based clinic in Indiana in 2005, Minute Clinic has helped to expand access to highquality, convenient and affordable care to thousands of residents at convenient CVS/ pharmacy locations near where they live and work,” said Andrew Sussman, M.D., president, MinuteClinic and senior vice president/associate chief medical officer, CVS Caremark Corp.

Breast Diagnostic Center Director Marita Dwight-Smith said, “The opening of this new location continues our ongoing efforts to provide the best patient care of any imaging center in the region. We strive to make all our patients feel welcome and well cared for in a pleasant and comfortable environment.” To schedule an appoint-
ment at any BDC location, call 483-1847. Breast Diagnostic Center, a joint venture between Fort Wayne Radiology and Parkview Health, began operations in 1985. It delivers mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy to its patients. The center operates Selenia Full Field Digital Mammography units and R2 Image Checkers. The American College of Radiology identifies the Breast Diagnostic Center as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence.

Paulding Road, the newly constructed 7,500-square-foot facility will be home to a number of health and well-being related services. Neighborhood Health Clinics will lease and occupy about 6,200 square feet. This space will serve as a satellite office for Neighborhood Health Clinics and will include medical clinic services with plans for WIC offices opening later in 2014 and dental clinic services opening in early 2015. Neighborhood Health Clinics is a Federally Qualified Health Center serving northeast Indiana. The area surrounding the new site at 3350 E.

Canterbury welcomes public to Spring Book Fair At Canterbury School’s Spring Book Fair, visitors can chat with award-winning authors and a prima ballerina. Open to the public, the book fair runs Tuesday through Thursday, April 22-24. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily at Canterbury Lower School, 5601 Covington Road. Canterbury’s Spring Book Fair, described as the only one of its kind in the area, is a marketplace of books, fine arts, artists and authors. It features thousands of books for students and adults, plus original artwork from favorite local artists. Gallery Guests, on hand daily, create a lively atmosphere. This year’s guests include local authors Helen Frost, Karen Flesch, Claire Ewart, Cynthia Presser, Carol Butler, Teresa Yarbrough, Holly Mishler, David Long, Susan Braun, Marcia Crawford, Bonnie Manning
and Suzanne Rogers. Other guests include Lucia Rogers, principal dancer of Fort Wayne Ballet, Ted Rice, Byron Lamm, Steve Presser, Laura Semba and Betsy Gephart. Artwork by Vicki Junk-Wright, local artist and Canterbury High School art teacher, and Jane Berner, Canterbury Early Childhood teacher, will be for sale. More than 35 categories, including specialized books for each grade level from kindergarten through middle school, are selected by parent volunteers, school librarians and teachers. “We have everything from cookbooks to classics,” said Chris Collins, parent and head of the book fair’s selection committee. “It is a marketplace atmosphere, fun for all ages to browse for books and meet the authors.”
One of those authors is Helen Frost, an award-winning poet, playwright and children’s writer. She will talk about her new novel “Salt,” a story set in Fort Wayne during the War of 1812. Her novel-in-poem, “Keesha’s House,” won the Michael L. Printz honor from the American Library Association, and “Hidden” was chosen as a 2012 Honor Book for the Lee B. Hopkins Poetry Award. For more information about the Spring Book Fair, contact Presser at hpresser@canterburyschool.org. See the complete schedule at canterburyschool.org. The Spring Book Fair is an activity of the Canterbury Parent Association. Proceeds from the book fair benefit the library programs at Canterbury School.

LEO from Page A1 the choreographer does precise research to present historically correct dances. “We also are honored to have The Chain Gang barbershop quartet, from Columbia City, joining us for our shows,” Nelson said in an email. That quartet has has played the same roles in “The Music Man” at the Wagon Wheel Playhouse, in Warsaw. Seniors Paige Dempsey and Baily Fritz serve as student directors. Dempsey has participated in theater as an extra, and is helping to direct for the first time. She plans to take theater classes when she majors in English at Butler University. Fritz is directing for the fourth time. She plans to attend Ball State University for theater education and theater production. She said the directing experience helps to shape her acting, too. “You feel like you know what the director is already

Names behind Leo Jr./Sr. High School’s production of “The Music Man” include (front, from left) Mariano Flores, Paige Dempsey, Megan Wright, Maddie Meyer, Carly Johnson, Taylor Erexson, (back, from left) Sue Nelson, Jacob Robbins, Baily Fritz and Kyle Bholm.
wanting,” she said. Fritz said fellow students seem to react well to the guidance of directors their own age. Fritz said the Leo production will create the right atmosphere for the auditeria audience. “You’re going to be thrown into the show the moment you walk into the theater,” she said. Carly Johnson, a senior, portrays Marian Paroo, the librarian. “I’m a real snob, which is fun to
play,” Johnson said. “And then she turns into a very kindhearted person, very loving. It’s like I get to play almost two characters in one.” Johnson will pursue theater as an extracurricular activity in college. Kyle Bholm, another senior, makes a similar transition as he portrays Professor Harold Hill. “At first he’s just in it for the money,” he said, adding that Hill later appreciates broader concerns. Bholm
also hopes to participate in extracurricular theater in college. Senior Jacob Robbins plays Mayor George Shinn. “I don’t know how he got to be in charge,” Robbins said of his character. “Nothing he says makes any sense.” This is the first acting role for Robbins, who has helped to build sets for other productions. Robbins plans to attend Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
ENJOY Comfort, Balance & Support!
Lynette Farrington, choreographer, leads a dance rehearsal for “The Music Man” at Leo Jr./Sr. High School.
Megan Wright, also in her senior year, understands the motivation for her character, Mrs. Paroo. “She’s really motherly,” Wright said. Mrs. Paroo wants a Prince Charming for her daughter, Marian, and she is “really protective” of her son, Winthrop. Wright plans to attend Indiana University and major in fine arts. Maddie Meyer, also a senior, portrays Eulalie Mackechnie Shinn, the wife of the mayor. “She’s above everyone else. She’s the gossip queen,” Meyer said. “I just have
fun with it,” she said of her role. Taylor Erexson, a junior, plays Zaneeta Shinn. Mariano Flores, a sophomore, plays Tommy Djilas. Meyer said students really put their hearts into the musical. “We are probably one of the most student-run productions in the Fort Wayne area,” she said, “and everything you come and see is studentbuilt.” Nelson said the community is phenomenally supportive of Leo Drama productions.

League in sixth season of ‘something good’ By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
“You tell people that we’re doing something good here in the community.” Sherri Emerson manages information as efficiently as her brother Steve manages basketball. Both work on behalf of Summit City Youth Prep Basketball League. It’s almost year-round work for Sherri and “Coach.” When one season ends, another begins, and recruiting continues. That makes fund raising an ongoing project, too. “We’re reaching out because we want to continue helping kids,” Sherri said of her appeal to sponsors. “We want to be a point of light, where we can have something where they can come to. It’s becoming a well known organization out in the community, and a lot of coaches are familiar with what we’re doing.” The league is halfway through its sixth season, playing each Saturday in the gym at Parkwood Church of God, 3320 Trier Road, at the southeast corner of the Hobson Road intersection. The first game begins at 10 a.m. each Saturday through May 3. Admission is $5. “The league offers organized competitive basketball at a low cost,” Sherri said in a letter

IHSAA officials Rickey Jordan and Rory Scott make the calls for the Summit City basketball league. Steve Emerson guides the four teams and calls the play-byplay.
to potential sponsors. “Furthermore, we are helping students who were not fortunate enough to make their own high school basketball team.” Sherri Emerson directs most of the credit to her brother. “Coach Emerson is doing the play-by-play,” she said. “He is a walking encyclopedia on sports. There is nothing he doesn’t know about basketball and football. And it’s very exciting. The parents love it. The kids love it. So it just adds one more positive thing for the children to hear what the coach has to say, like ‘Somebody made a shot from downtown.’” To be eligible for the league, players must carry at least a C average at school. “Coach looks at the report cards, too,” Sherri said. Off the court, Sherri is the voice of the league. And she is the walking
encyclopedia of details. • Athletes are being challenged to raise $95 each for a fundraiser from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, at Parkwood. Sponsors will promise $3 for a 3-point shot, $1 for a free throw, and so on. The public is invited to watch; admission is $5. • The regular season ends April 26, with two games each morning. The one-day, post-season tournament will be at Parkwood on Saturday, May 3, with games at 10 and 11, followed by the championship game. Again, admission is $5 for the morning. • The post-season banquet will be sometime in May. She’s taking suggestions for another high-profile speaker familiar with youth issues; call her at 440-6105. • The Summer Gym Rats League for high
school athletes ages 14-18 will be Aug. 7 through Sept. 4. Team registration for the 10-game season is $225, due at sign-up. Call Steve Emerson at 418-7009. • The 2015 winter league will add cheerleaders, ages 12 to 18. Interested girls may call her at 440-6105. Two former cheerleaders will coach the girls. She said all those plans mean additional expenses, for referees, trophies, T-shirts and the banquet. Then there’s the matter of the gym and the use of the water, lights, scoreboard and public address system at Parkwood. “Even though they’re doing something great for us, they can’t do this for free,” she said. Steve Emerson played high school ball, and works as a driver. Sherri Emerson played basketball in grade school, and works as a substitute teacher. She leaves basketball to her brother. “I’m just an organizer,” she said. “This has been our biggest attendance this year,” she said. “We’re constantly going to get chairs. But we want the people, especially the people that live in the area, to know that we have something good going on in the community, and we want them to come out and be supporters.”
