Barbecue welcomes concert crowd By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
When a popular country artist played a sell-out concert down the road, the folks of Saint Louis Besancon Church and School threw a little party of their own. Singer-songwriter Luke
Bryan began his Farm Tour 2015 on Sept. 30 at M&J Farms, about a mile south of Besancon. That farm is owned by Mick and Jane Lomont, longtime members of the parish. The Saint Louis Parent Teacher Organization decided to serve up lunch for any of the thousands of
music fans waiting for the evening concert. “Mick and Jane Lomont are our parishioners and they have been involved in this parish forever,” said Pastor the Rev. Ben Muhlenkamp. “When this all started to come to be,

Voters in Woodburn and Fort Wayne will go to the polls Nov. 3 to select municipal leaders to serve the next four years. The polls also will be open in Grabill. It’s a formality; there are no contests to be decided. New Haven, Leo-Cedarville and Monroeville also choose leaders in 2015. There will be no elections, though, because there are no races to be decided. The New Haven and Leo-Cedarville ballots were determined in the May primary, and those candidates have
STAY SAFE In a statement, the city of Fort Wayne issued these trick-or-treating safety reminders: • Do not wear costumes that obscure your vision. • Wear reflective clothing, or light colored clothing, to make you more visible to motorists. • Travel in groups composed of at least one adult. • Have a pre-planned route. • Only cross streets at the crosswalks. • Visit familiar homes, and do not enter a stranger’s home. • Be prepared for adverse weather. • Refrain from consuming any treats until inspected by an adult.

Halloween will mean trick-or-treating as usual throughout northeast Indiana. In Woodburn, it also will mean fireworks. • Woodburn: The relentless rains of June forced Woodburn to cancel the pyrotechnic finale of Summerfest.

Besancon School to mark 100 years with Mass By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
The Saint Louis Besancon Church and School community will conclude a yearlong celebration with a special Mass. The current school building was dedicated on Thanksgiving Day 1915. To mark that centennial, the Most Rev. Kevin C. Rhoades, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, will serve at a Mass at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1. The current school building replaced Saint Joseph School, a wooden structure that opened in 1900 and which was destroyed by fire. The first classes were held in the new building on Oct. 4, 1915. The Rev. Ben Muhlenkamp was installed as pastor on July of this year. “This parish loves this school,” he said. “There are so many people that sacrificed to see this school be successful. There are only about 110 children in the school; it’s very small. Our teachers really sacrifice to work here. They could certainly be paid better working at a public school. But this school is the heart, the

gem of our parish.” Vanessa Diller is the new principal at Saint Louis, but is a familiar face at the school. “I taught kindergarten here for the last seven years, so it’s been a very easy transition for me,” Diller said. “I developed very good relationships with parents as a kindergarten teacher.” Over those seven years, she said, she became familiar with most of the parents in the
school community. “So I received a lot of support and prayers from parents in that position, so that’s helped out a lot and made it an even smoother transition,” she said. Saint Louis also has a new mascot, the Crusader, honoring the history of the school’s patron saint. “All around it just seems like an additional piece to unite us in Catholicity and as a community,” Diller See 100 YEARS, Page A4

to our Masses in the morning. We have Mass on Wednesday and Friday mornings, and there are always parents here. “I think Pastor Ben has done a really good job of trying to unite the home life and the school life and the church life, and helps the students to see that it’s all intertwined, and the expectations that we have at school and the expectations that the parents have at home are all based on Christ’s love.� Diller said a parent and a teacher have written a play to present during the bishop’s visit. The play will follow the school’s changes through the decades. “There might be a special song,� she said. “We’re hoping to give the bishop a good show and show him how excited we are to be celebrating our hundred years, so that he knows how we’re all on board for what may come for the next hundred years.� The former convent building, which also was built in 1915, is undergoing a renovation. “From the time Father Ben set foot on here, he wanted to get that building done so we could use it for community service to our youth program, for our adult education programs,� Diller said. “He really wants the community to know that they have a place to come that is going to be enriching in the Catholic

Barb McCoy and Rosemary Gibbs box up apple dumplings at Forest Park United Methodist Church.
Forest Park UMC women plan Apple Dumpling Days By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Forest Park United Methodist Women plan to make more than 1,000 apple dumplings again this year. The pastries are $4 each, and will be available at the church, 2100 Kentucky Ave., Fort Wayne. Customers may stop by the church or call to place orders Thursday and Friday, Oct. 29 and 30; call (260) 484-6696. Dumplings also will be available Saturday, Oct. 31. The Novemberfest craft bazaar runs 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Lunch will be served 11 a.m.-1 p.m. “We’ve been doing this for 25 years because we wanted a fundraiser that would make a lot of money and not have to keep doing fundraisers,” said Barb McCoy, church communications director. “So a couple of our ladies decided that they would try apple dumplings. The rest is history. We made as many as 3,500 in our hey day. We’re shooting for 1,300 again this year.” Vendor tables are still available for the craft bazaar; call McCoy at (260) 637-1842. Tables are $15, with proceeds going to the vendors. McCoy, who is also president of the United Methodist Women, said everyone pitches in to make the apple dumplings. “For about the last six weeks every Sunday I remind them that it’s coming and we need everyone. It’s actually a

fun time because there’s a lot of fellowship,” she said. “We have people that can’t go in the kitchen and stand up and work, but they can sit at a table and cut apples,” she said. The church welcomed a new pastor, the Rev. Kathie Jones, on Oct. 3. She and husband Harold Jones were guests at a reception luncheon. “Pastor Kathie’s husband is a cook, so we’ve already informed him that we’ll need him for a three-day project,” McCoy said. The volunteers begin baking the dumplings on Wednesday and continue cutting, baking and packing through Friday. “We bribe them with a lunch at noon,” McCoy said. The church estimates that the project has sold more than 50,000 apple dumplings. Visit fpumc. com for a video of the process. “They’re the best in town,” McCoy said. The UMC Women will direct its proceeds to the Missions Fund.

Standing 22 feet tall and weighing 3.5 tons, the custom designed tower sits on the plaza of the Allen County Public Library’s main branch. The tower includes a carillon that was rung for the first time during the ceremony by Rotarian Masson Robertson, who played the Rotary International theme song. Three years ago, local Rotarians began discussing how the club should celebrate its centennial birthday. The Centennial Tower was the “lasting legacy project that emerged,” club president Jason Daenens said. In addition to the tower, the club undertook a local service project, installing 100 Little Free Libraries, as well as an international service project, building a middle school in Africa. Karen Wentz, a director with Rotary International, emphasized the benefit the local club has been for the Fort Wayne community. “This will be a reminder that Rotary truly is about service above self,” Wentz said of the tower. Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry read a proclamation during the ceremony, commemorating the day as Rotary Club of Fort Wayne celebrating 100 years of service day. “They have stepped up and said, ‘We want to make Fort Wayne all that it can be,’” Henry said. The third- and fourthgrade students of Washington Elementary School, led by director Lynn Bishop, entertained the crowd with songs such as “Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne,” to the tune of “New York, New York,” and “Rock Around the Clock.” The Rotary Club of Fort Wayne adopted the school several years ago and provides mentors, supplies and tutors to the students there. For more information about the club, visit fortwaynerotary.org. Note: KPC Media Group Inc. is a corporate member of the Rotary Club of Fort Wayne.

Castleman set to retire Mitchell joins KPC as Cornerstone director Media Group as CEO Cornerstone Youth Center founder and Executive Director Kent Castleman recently announced he will retire from his position with the organization by July 1, 2016. The Southeast Youth Council Inc. (Cornerstone) board of directors and executive committee are working with Castleman during the transition. A search and transition team has been established. Castleman founded Cornerstone in 2000, with the Monroeville youth center opening its doors two years later.
“Kent embodies the spirit and drive upon which the CYC was founded,� Board Chairwoman Nancy Gasparini wrote in a letter sent to supporters. “He will be sorely missed by the board of directors, staff, youth and families of the agency.� The board plans to hire a new executive director by spring 2016 so that Castleman can work with him or her for a couple of months to ease the transition.

Honors for Stahly
PHOTO BY RAY STEUP
Kirby Stahly, assistant superintendent of administrative services for East Allen County Schools, addresses a breakfast audience at which Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly named outstanding chief financial officers in four categories. Stahly was chosen to represent the public sector. Superintendent Ken Folks said Stahly invests countless hours offering assistance and guidance. “He has even filled in as a sub teacher when we were short on subs,” Folks said. “You will find no one with more integrity, grit, dedication and compassion for his work than Kirby Stahly,” said Lois Goeglein, manager of financial services.

MAYOR from Page A1 voted in the Democratic primary. Reichhart will represent the Democratic ticket. Joseph Kelsey won the Republican nomination.
Woodburn also will decide a race for Town Council District 1, between Republican Holly Sarrazine and Democrat Michael R. Martin. Republicans running unopposed for
Town Council are: John M. Renner, District 2; Dean A. Gerig, District 3; and Daniel Watts, District 4. Republican Timothy J. Cummins is unopposed for clerk-treasurer.
• Grabill: The outcome was determined by the Republican primary election in May; there are no Democratic candidates. Cynthia L. Barhydt is unopposed for re-election as clerk-treasurer. Town Council President Wilmer Delagrange and Jeffrey D. Smead won the two Republican nominations for Town Council. A third council member, Candace DeCamp, was elected in 2014. Delagrange said a decision made years ago removed Grabill’s option of forgoing an election. “It costs about $2,500,” he said. “We’re going to try to get it switched back. We’re just spending money that we don’t need to spend.” Delagrange has been on the Town Council for 24 years and has been council president for 22 years. He said he will give up the gavel in January, but serve on the council for the full term. “I’m 73 and I’ve got some other things I want to do, too,” he
said. “The president’s job really takes some time right now. The town has grown a lot over the past few years and there are just a lot more things to do.” • Monroeville: Both major parties nominated at town conventions. All incumbents were nominated and are unopposed, so the town elected not to have an election. These current town officials have been confirmed for new four-year terms: Kevin Wenger, clerk-treasurer, Democrat; Timothy R. Berry, Town Council District 1, Republican; Joan Bultemeier, Town Council District 2, Democrat; Marilyn Crabill, Town Council District 3, Democrat; Debra Clark, Town Council District 4, Democrat; and Don Gerardot, Town Council District 5, Democrat. • Leo-Cedarville: The only contest was determined in the Republican primary in May. These candidates will be confirmed without a fall election: Pamela K. Spannuth, clerk-trea-
surer; John Eastes and Raymond Pulver Jr., Town Council. Three other council members were elected in 2014: Gregory Peck, Timothy Richards and R. Paul Steffens. • New Haven: These nominees from the Republican primary are unopposed and have been declared elected: incumbent Mayor Terry McDonald; incumbent Clerk-Treasurer Brenda D. Adams; incumbent City Court Judge Geoff Robison; David J. Cheviron and Terry A. Werling, council at large; Floyd Ball, Town Council District 1; Sarah DiGangi, Town Council District 2; Craig Dellinger, Town Council District 3; Robert Byrd, Town Council District 4; and Tim Martin, Town Council District 5. • Fort Wayne: Democratic Mayor Tom Henry is challenged by Republican Fourth District Councilman Mitch Harper. Voters also will elect a clerk-treasurer and all nine members of the City Council.

BARBEQUE from Page A1 some of their children said ‘Hey, this is a pretty big deal and we think you should so something of a fundraiser for the church and school.’ They were able to put in on their Facebook and get some attention, and then local vendors said they would be interested in selling food out here.” The Lomonts were among the first visitors, accepting congratulations, shaking hands and returning smiles for a half-hour before visiting a food truck. Muhlenkamp said the parish finance board probably would decide to direct the church’s share of the proceeds to the remodeling of the former convent, which once housed teachers at the school next door. “Things this big don’t usually happen in our little neighborhood,” the pastor said. In fact, five vendors stepped forward to serve the crowd. Those included Billy’s from just down the road in Zulu, plus Rack & Helen’s and Pizza Hut from New Haven, and Who Cut the Cheese and Yum Yums from Fort Wayne. Mike Adams and daughters Kerri Zurbuch and Kelli Stopher, all of New Haven, prepared and sold tacos from the Billy’s truck. “I’m here to help the family business and help support the parish,” Stopher said. “I believe a hundred

percent in Catholic education and what Saint Louis and all the parishes on this side are doing,” Zurbuch said. “I would agree with that,” said Stopher, whose children attend St. Jude School in Fort Wayne. The local band Sugar Shot performed for free, in a beer garden that was fenced off in the far end of the parking lot. Dawn Comment was decked out in country music attire. “I’m here to see Sugar Shot. The lead singer is a friend of ours,” she said. “Then we’re heading to see Luke Bryan.” Comment and friend Judy Antus watched chil-
dren as they took in the music from beyond the beer garden. “I came because of Dawn and Sugar Shot,” Antus said. She also came to the barbecue to support the parish, to which she has belonged for about a year and a half. “It’s a very good community. It seems very close. My daughter works at the school. My grandkids go to the school,” she said. Stephanie Galantine and Amy Urban coordinated the fundraiser on behalf of the Saint Louis Besancon Parent Teacher Organization. The school was closed for the day, and observed a 2-hour delay the next morning, to allow time for cleanup.

Sweetwater’s jobs total may reach 1,000 in 2018 Sweetwater Sound Inc. will physically grow again as employment at the Fort Wayne-based company could break the 1,000 mark in about three years. The musical instruments and audio equipment retailer plans to invest $8.8 million over a period of years on expansions, the Indiana Economic Development Corp. said in a statement. The projects include work to build a 16,000-square-foot addition on to the headquarters on U.S. 30. The new facility will move the company’s marketing department from a nearby annex and place it with the
merchandising department. “The plan all along has been to reintegrate that department and combine it with merchandising,” said Christopher Guerin, Sweetwater’s corporate communications vice president. That expansion is also expected to establish a new video studio to help enhance sales and branding initiatives. Up to 285 new jobs are expected to be created as a result, which would push full-time employment up to 1,000 by the end of 2018. “Sweetwater continues to grow at a remarkable pace,” Chuck Surack, the company’s president and
founder, said in the statement. “In 2014, sales were up by 28 percent over the previous year, and we anticipate similar results for 2015.” Construction on the addition should begin this autumn. The IEDC offered the business $2 million in tax credits and $50,000 in training grants. Sweetwater’s new project follows the company’s renovation of its music store earlier this year, as well as a 132,000-square-foot expansion that built a new warehouse, a conference hall, more music classrooms and a larger sales department in 2014.
