‘Seussical’ is New Haven showcase By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
New Haven’s Geller earns Fritcha award By Garth Snow
When Matt Derby chose “Seussical the Musical” for the New Haven High School stage, he considered more than the colorful costumes and medleys based on the works of Dr. Seuss. “We chose ‘Seussical’ because the show has so many opportunities for featured roles,” Medley said in an email. “We have a lot of talented students and wanted to showcase them in this production.” Senior Hayley Reynolds will share that showcase. A veteran of five productions including four musicals, Reynolds will take on her first leading role, as Gertrude McFuzz. She studies at Anthis Career Center and plans to be an EMT/paramedic. Her stage experience will help her, she said. “I really think that performing has helped me with working differently with patients,” she said. “It just makes me not as afraid to talk with different types of people, because here

you’re performing in front of everyone.” “The show is really an ensemble cast with about a dozen different students having solos, duets or featured song numbers,” Derby said. “Seussical” has a cast of 35 high-schoolers and five fifth-graders. Also sharing the spotlight are juniors Maryann Beck as The Cat in the Hat,
Ashton Doctor as Horton, and Amy Rowland as Jojo. Other featured characters are: The Wickersham Brothers, portrayed by senior Kyle Israel and juniors Jocelyn Chilcote and Michael Pobuk; Mayzie, portrayed by junior Meredith Lancaster; Sour Kangaroo, portrayed by freshman Trinity Hobkirk; Mr. and Mrs. Mayor,
portrayed by senior Todd Moeller and junior Jerrica Kart; and the Bird Girls, portrayed by senior Elexis Stocksdale and juniors Alexia Garn, Michelle Same and Makayla Moering. “We have a crew of six students working lights, sound and backstage,” See SEUSS, Page A13
Longtime volunteer Douglas Geller has been named the recipient of New Haven’s Bill Fritcha Memorial Award. Mayor Terry McDonald announced the selection Monday evening prior to his own State of the City address before an audience of about 110 at The Orchid Events & Catering. Geller was unable to attend because of health issues. Accepting on Geller’s behalf were City Councilman Craig Dellinger and Diane Fritcha, the widow of the award’s namesake. Dellinger and McDonald hoped to present the award to Geller and his wife, Marcia, at their New Haven home later that evening. McDonald told his audience that Geller has been nominated each year of the award’s four-year history. In separate comments, he told The East Allen County Times that the selection is

Geller has served in Scouting, youth sports, on community associations, as an EMT/ paramedic volunteer and instructor, on the Community Center Committee and on the Mayor’s Ride Committee. Geller has served on the Canal Days Festival Committee, as vice president and 15 years as president. McDonald See GELLER, Page A13

Anthony Wayne Rotary Club past President Bryan Sharp welcomes Leo High School senior Logan Leither. The club welcomes student Rotarians from eight high schools each week. For an update on the Downtown Rotary Club, see Page A10.
All roads lead to Rotary When the 82-member Anthony Wayne Rotary Club gathers each Wednesday, members add a fifth question to the famous Rotary 4-Way Test. “Is it fun?” they ask. Dick Walls joined the club in March of 1971. “It was the New Haven Club, but we met at Club Olympia, and then our
name was changed to the Anthony Wayne Rotary Club in ’72,” he said. Walls held the gavel in 1977-78. “I was able to get everyone active in doing something,” he said, “and I was able to promote a lot of enthusiasm.” He said it is important that members see Rotary as more than a luncheon club. Rotarians drive from Leo, Ossian, Kendallville
and points in between each Wednesday for lunch and dialogue at Pine Valley Country Club, 10928 Pine Mills Road, Fort Wayne. The words “fun” and “family” pepper the narratives as Rotarians describe their attachment to the service club. “When I moved back to Fort Wayne I didn’t know anyone,” said Bob Moore, a See ROTARY, Page A9

It’s just a Taste of Waynedale, but guests will need trays to hold their samples from at least 21 local restaurants and businesses. So trays they will have, said Camille Garrison, the marketing director for the event’s sponsor, Kingston Residence of Fort Wayne. “Who would have known when we started that it would grow so big?” Garrison said. The Fort Wayne get-together and fundraiser has grown in both size and mission in its seven years. The Kingston event outgrew its own Winchester Road home in 2014. “So we moved over to the Family Life Center, which is huge,” Garrison said. “And they have seating.” Mount Calvary Family

a fourth one-day, round-trip flight this year. “We’re also discussing taking a larger plane so we can get even more veterans to Washington for the day to see their memorials,” Garrison said. “So there is a need for us to raise money to keep up with the growth that we’re experiencing of Honor Flight.” Garrison said she learned of Honor Flight from a Kingston sister community that was involved with Honor Flight in Toledo. “I fell in love with it, and it’s been a great experience,” she said. “There are no salaries, there’s no overhead, there are no fancy cars. It’s a hundred percent volunteers — 22 board members who are volunteering their time to make things happen.” “They were so full of emotion, and they were tearful,” Garrison said of the veterans. “It was just raw emotion and I was hooked.”

Grace Gathering has sponsored mission trips to Haiti each year since 2010. “That was the year of the earthquake,” Carla Ireton said. “We built homes there the first year.” “This is our third annual trip to Gonaives, Haiti,” she said. “We stay at the home of a Haitian pastor, Luc Joseph. It’s a very poor city. We put on a vacation Bible school and we provide a hot meal for each of the children.” “It’s a blessing for them to get a hot meal every day,” Ireton said. “Pastor Luc also runs an orphanage where we interact with the children and we play with them, and do crafts with them.” Grace Gathering will send a team of 12 people back to Gonaives for a week in July. A church women’s group has donated some dresses to be given to the young women in Haiti and some pillowcases to be given to young men.

The Bulldogs were formed as a duo in 1982 and are still often called by their previous name, Spike & The Bulldogs. Front man Val “Spike” Asey retired in 2013 after a second heart attack and has moved to Utah. “We have no plans to replace him,” Zmyslony said. At the Concordia benefit, The Bulldogs will record music for their CD. “Meet The Bulldogs!” has the subtitle “The First Album by Indiana’s Phenomenal Pop Combo.” The blackand-white photos are arranged in two rows, to parody the 1964 album “Meet The Beatles.” The Bulldogs continue to present the music of The Fab Four, as well as Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, the Beach Boys and other stars of the rise of rock from 1955 to 1966. The dance and silent auction fundraiser also features heavy appetizers. “We had over 200 silent auction items last year. That was exciting,” Moellering said in an email. “We have already collected many gift cards from generous businesses, including restaurants, car maintenance garages, fitness centers and more, plus many nice gifts.” The fundraiser benefits all branches of the Concordia band program. Approximately 70 students take part in two bands, the marching band, pep band, jazz ensemble, color guard and winter guard. The Bulldogs include five veteran musicians, who live in Garrett, Columbia City, and Fort Wayne and vicinity: Jim Heiman, tenor saxophone, vocals and stunt work; Wayne Neukom, bass guitar and lead vocals; Kenny Taylor, guitar and vocals; Zmyslony, keyboards and vocals; and Stone, drums.

ROTARY from Page A1 former club president. Then he visited the Anthony Wayne Rotary Club. “I found everyone to be very friendly and everybody just became my friends over the years,” he said. “I’ve been in many different [Rotary] clubs around the country, and they’re all basically cut out of the same silk,” he said. “They’re in it because they want to help other people, and this is just a really fun way to do it.” “I have been told several times that we are the ‘fun club,’ ” club President Carol Keplar said in an email. Mark Stetzel, another past president, said everyone has assigned duties, and the duty roster rotates. “You don’t just sign up, pay your dues and say you’re a Rotarian,” he said. “It’s expected that if you’re in the club, you’re going to participate.” Members represent every branch of endeavor. “Diversity has always been valued in Rotary,” said Aron Dellinger, another past president. Dellinger, of Leo, has been a member since 1987. Years earlier,

he was one of the high school students chosen to attend Rotary meetings. Today, October to April, one senior from each of eight high schools is invited to attend a month of luncheons. Students from Bishop Dwenger, Blackhawk Christian, Carroll, Concordia Lutheran, Leo, New Haven, Northrop and Snider high schools then are considered for two $4,000 scholarships. A visiting student might be asked to share where they hope to be a decade in the future, or to name the most influential person in their life. “That question gets some different

and interesting responses, from their teachers, to their grandparents, parents, coaches and church leaders, youth group and Sunday school teachers,” Keplar said. “The reasons are the things they have taught them, or teaching them about their faith, or always being there for them. It is always interesting to hear their responses.” “While they visit they get to network with different leaders and Rotarians from in and around Fort Wayne in many different professions,” she said. “They get a taste of what Rotary is all about. They see that even as

adults you can volunteer and make a difference in our community and around the world.” Keplar said Anthony Wayne Rotary Club members come from all over Fort Wayne, and from Leo, Kendallville, Decatur, Yoder and Huntertown. Keplar and her husband Jeff live in Ossian. Jeff Keplar is a former president. Carol said she worked closer to the Downtown Club — which meets at Parkview Field — but joined the Anthony Wayne club because Jeff belonged to that club. “I felt if we were both going to be in Rotary, and since
Rotary is a service organization, it would be best if we were both in the same club so we could put all of our efforts involved in the same projects instead of being pulled in two different directions,” she said. “I have since changed jobs and still live in Ossian, but have stayed as a member of Anthony Wayne Rotary not so much for the networking, but for a different reason,” Carol Keplar said. “The members of Anthony Wayne Rotary have become my dear friends and family. Both Jeff and my parents are deceased, and we each have only one brother and they both live out of state. With Rotary, I have many brothers, and even sisters that I never had. I actually have some ‘dads,’ with the older members who love to look out for me,” she said. “It is really nice to
have family, my ‘Rotary Family,’ close by.” “You’ve got both the family aspect and the sense of service,” Moore said. “Our motto is Service above Self. So we do a lot with kids, high school kids that you see here today. We also pass out dictionaries to third-graders every year, and we get involved in a lot of international projects — clean water in Mexico and medical instruments in Nicaragua.” The club joins Rotary International in supporting student exchange programs and polio eradication and other health programs. Locally, the club restores historical monuments and markers, and supports Kate’s Kart books for hospitalized children and Community Harvest Food Bank. “We give back to the community that has given to us,” Keplar said.

Downtown Rotary builds on lessons of first century By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
The Rotary Club of Fort Wayne, also known as the Downtown Rotary Club, is celebrating its centennial in 2015. A year of activities will culminate in a Centennial Gala on Oct. 2 at the Grand Wayne Center. For more on the club’s local and international work, visit fortwaynerotary.org. In a joint interview, Rotary Club President Barb Wachtman, immediate past President Jeff Krull and President-elect Jason Daenens discussed the club’s heritage and goals. (Some answers were edited for space.) Question: How does a club adapt to thrive for 100 years? What changes do you envision over the next decade and century? Krull: If you go all the way back to the
founding it was kind of a networking group, and it didn’t take long until it turned into much more of a civic organization, and it grew like crazy. And when I joined in 1986 it was all men, and it was a premier service club and it was by invitation. The classification system relaxed over the years because it needed to be more open. It was a club that did a lot of good, and it was prestigious and it was a powerful organization. As years went by, things changed and Rotary was a little slower, and by the ’90s we were starting to see a disconnect between the older members and the conventions and what was happening in society and as a culture, including things like excluding women. That changed on the national level in the mid-80s and the first woman joined the Fort Wayne club in 1989. That set us on a new course trying to open things up, which we were very
successful in doing. As work patterns changed and as local companies became owned by larger companies, some of the banks, etc., were not necessarily interested. Membership began to decline. We were close to 300 members and by 2000 we were down to 150 and really kind of slipping. In the last eight to 10 years, I perceive that our club has made a very conscious effort to re-invent itself. We’ve looked at who we want in our club, how to make the club accessible to different work schedules, especially younger members who may find it difficult to commit an hour and a half or two every single Monday. We became more service-oriented than we were in the past. The networking and camaraderie are still very important, and it’s much more than that. And the friendships are fun, but they are also productive and they help us get important things done in
THE ROTARY 4-WAY TEST Rotary Clubs recite these words before each meeting: “Of the things we think say or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?” the community and around the world. Wachtman: I joined about 10 years ago. The club has taken a look at itself, and what the club has done very well is to say we have to be relevant to our members and we have to tell our members this is about service. And yes there will be networking and yes there will be friendships. But it’s about service, and if you connect passionately and with integrity with people who See LESSON, Page A11

LESSON from Page A10 want to do service, you’re going to have a pretty interesting group of people who want to be engaged. We now have about 135 to 140 members and with honorary members about 150. Daenens: When I joined the club at the end of 2008 I had just turned 30 and at the time the club had only one other person who was younger, and there were just five under the age of 40. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with a club over 45; it’s just difficult to sustain the membership. From my perspective, I joined a club that was going through a bit of an identity crisis. Aligned with the economic reality back in 2008 or 2009, people were losing jobs. And when you’re part of a group of individuals who are about philanthropy, that kind of depresses those efforts. I think that difficult situation at that time gave the club a chance to step back and say, “What are we doing and why are we doing it and what should we be doing?” One of the results was that we decided to go bigger and bolder with some things. I think the hundred-year milestone truly invigorated the club and gave the club a renewed sense of purpose, and I think that any organization that wants to survive has to continually evolve. We have to be evolving every few years, every five years to stay relevant to our membership and to attract especially the millennials and the new generations to the club. So I think that moving forward we have a good launching pad here with the efforts from the centennial. What we are doing with the library, and in Togo, and some of our other longstanding projects — this is an opportunity for us to expand and develop them further so we can continue

service to the community and grow as a club. Krull: Back in the old days the Rotary Clubs, ours as well, were not so service oriented in terms of contributing your time as opposed to writing a check. We still have a great many generous members, but we go way beyond that and we’re really looking for people to engage in service by contributing their time and their talent. Krull: We’ve talked a lot about our club, but a very important part of Rotary is that it is an international organization. We have many members of our club who have supported Rotary International in many ways. [Members who contribute at least $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation are named Paul Harris Fellows, in honor of the founder of Rotary.] Those funds go to really big-picture projects worldwide, like eradication of polio, education, clean water, projects all over

the world. And one of the reasons that Rotary is so effective is that it’s everywhere. Wachtman: The most recent Rotarian magazine tells about the Ebola epidemic and the people trying to fight in the most remote areas using the polio model that Rotary and the World Health Organization has set. So you realize that Rotary’s footprint is huge and significant, and it’s very relevant because it just works. Like Jeff says, Rotary gets it done and gets it done well.
Question: What attracts people to Rotary? Wachtman: I think it takes a spirit of sacrifice, and service is one of the most fulfilling things people can do. The road to happiness it not helping ourselves; it’s helping others. Rotary is very fulfilling, and I think people who really do want to make the world a better place realize that they can’t do it alone, and if they work with likeminded people they have a better time doing it. Krull: If you come to a meeting, you see a
bunch of people who are fun and friendly and very committed to the mission of the organization. You are among some people who are really movers, and it’s kind of an energizing experience, and people find it a great avenue to service. Daenens: It’s an opportunity for individuals to utilize their skills, also for them to hone their skills and improve on them through leadership of all the various projects that we support and lead.
glimpse of how we operate week to week. I would put in the first membership roster and our hundred-year membership roster, showing the really broad range of leaders in the community, and that we’ve been very blessed to have lead our club. Daenens: I would add some items that are relevant to the service of our community because they represent a piece of what our club is all about, and something more specific to our community these days. Krull: I would include something that records and documents some of the more significant contributions, including things like the Avenue of Trees downtown and at Headwaters Park. We do those projects and then kind of lose sight of that fact that we did them. We also should remember the Circle of Hope trail through Headwaters Park, commemorating the 100 years of the Rotary Club.
Question: If you were to seal a Rotary time capsule, what items would you preserve from this centennial year? Wachtman: I would put in a book or something from Washington Elementary School. We adopted that school a little over 10 years ago and it has been a very significant project for us. Our Spin newsletter is very good, and it gives a

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.

Heritage offers one-act comedy, ‘This Is a Test’ Heritage Junior-Senior High School will present “This Is a Test.” Shows are at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11. Tickets are $8 in advance or at the door, at 13608 Monroeville Road, Monroeville. Band director Jim Widmer and English teacher Tye Borsa will direct the one-act play, which is the school’s first theater production in several years. “There was a demand for it, and so Tye and I decided to volunteer,” Widmer said. “We’ve started a drama club this year for the first time and we’ve had good attendance,” Widmer said. “We’re excited to try something new here. It’s not just the actors, but the kids who want to help with sound or stagecraft or lighting.” “It takes place in a

school,” Borsa said of the comedy. “It’s a standardized test, so it’s relevant material. They get to play students, so it won’t be a big jump for them.” Widmer provided this synopsis for publicity: “As the ticking clock reminds you, only 60 minutes remain to complete this oh-so-important predictor of your future. But you didn’t get the review sheets, the teacher doesn’t like you and your classmates are blatantly cheating. Time passes and the voices in your head remind you that though you are having trouble with the test, your personal life is far, far worse. Then you reach the essay question.

GELLER from Page A1 described the Marine Corps veteran as an all-around great guy and citizen. “The very idea of a servant-leader is one who serves first and foremost. That was Bill Fritcha and those who have received this award in the past,” McDonald said. “[Geller] has all the attributes of civic engagement, having community impact and acts of kindness not known to most,” McDonald said. Dellinger said Geller also served as New Haven’s volunteers coordinator. The councilman said he has worked with Geller for 10 years. New Haven Chamber of Commerce President Charlie Hatten, who introduced McDonald, told the audience that the community will celebrate five business ribbon-cuttings in March alone. He said the chamber’s June 17 golf outing, though not yet advertised, is 75 percent booked. McDonald listed 18 projects that have improved the city in the past year, including many that attracted or retained jobs. He gave equal attention to the planned closing of Vera Bradley’s New Haven manufacturing facility. “While the news that 250 people are losing their jobs is heart-breaking, and we are concerned about every job being lost, we must stay

focused on our daily task of creating an atmosphere of opportunity for workers and companies alike,” he said. “Through our work at creating partnerships within Allen County and the region, we are in a better place economically than we have ever been concerning business retention and attraction,” he said. “… I am confident that we will have the Adams Center Road facility occupied relatively soon,” he said. In other remarks, McDonald outlined the city’s achievements in the past year and goals for the next year. • New Haven must find its own source of water again, the mayor said. He cited a “forced merger” with Fort Wayne’s water service in the 1970s. • The water tower on Ryan Road will be raised 44 feet, he said. McDonald said the tower has not been used since 2011 because the elevation does not produce sufficient pressure. An engineering firm has reviewed and rejected its own proposal to raise the tower 19 feet, he said. • Municipal public works projects in 2015 will cost $6.6 million, he said. Those water, storm water, sanitary sewer and street projects will be paid with money on hand. “OK, now listen carefully, this will all be cash,” he said. “You see, good planning and responsible fiscal management allows us the ability to
pay cash for projects in a ‘pay-as-you-go’ fashion.” • The Landin Road pavement project is under way, the water line is nearing completion, and storm water lines are being installed. “… and soon the S curve will be closed on or about April 1 for 30 days,” he said. “The project will be long, dirty, and for some frustrating; but all good things take time …” • As Indiana celebrates its bicentennial in 2016, McDonald said, New
SEUSS from Page A1 Derby wrote. When not portraying Thing 1 and Thing 2, senior Rachel Lancaster and sophomore Lexi Eliott also serve as stage managers. Adam Moyer, in his first year with the faculty at NHHS, serves as music director. Derby has taught at NHHS since 1984 and is in his 30th year of directing shows. “I was involved in the theater program in my high school and enjoyed it enough that I pursued a minor in theater during my undergrad studies,” he wrote. “Working with students on the shows has probably been my most rewarding experience as an educator because of the deeper interaction with the cast. There is a lot of working side by side in pulling a show together. That is one of the benefits of the fine arts, the chance to engage the soul of a student as together the group strives to reach their goal, which is an awesome performance.” Derby also teaches math, physics and chemistry. The musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty is based on several of the most famous Dr. Seuss books, mainly “Horton Hears a Who!”, “Horton Hatches the Egg” and “Miss Gertrude McFuzz.”

Haven will celebrate its 150th anniversary of being an incorporated community. The mayor capped a brief review of almost 200 years of local history with an appeal for residents to support the celebration. “We will be reaching out into our community and asking you to become a part of this historical time,” he said. “Please say yes. I know you will, because New Haven is made up of people who love a good celebration.”
• New Haven will host the American Police Canine Association’s national conference in September, he said. About 150 canine teams from the United States and Canada will take part in the training. McDonald said his executive assistant, Deb-Anne Smith, is the event coordinator for the project and has raised over $50,000. McDonald said New Haven began its own police canine program in 1981.
• The mayor congratulated the New Haven Community Foundation on securing a matching donation that increases donations by 50 percent. He encouraged contributions. “Many have recognized the momentum of the positive vision being developed here in New Haven and have shown their belief in our community, and we invite you to show your belief in our community as well,” he said.
