Fort Wayne Museum of Art brings in big names
Early 20th century artists – Picasso, Braque and Léger – now at art museum By Whitney Wright wwright@kpcmedia.com
Three of the greatest modern artists have come together in the Fort Wayne Museum of Art’s exhibition: “Picasso, Braque and Léger: 20th Century Modern Masters.” The works available to view by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Fernand Léger give insight into an art period that marked a substantial break from the longstanding traditions of the art world, including the creation of cubism and collage and significant strides in printmaking, symbolism and surrealism. Curated by the FWMoA’s president and CEO Charles Shepard, exhibitions production manager Lauren Wolfer and exhibitions content manager Eliza-
“
I want to bring people in so they can learn.” Charles Shepard

beth Goings, “Modern Masters” dedicates a room to each artist. The artists’ artwork is placed next to work with a similar style and theme, rather than simply organized in chronological order. In this way, the art pieces work with and play upon the other, creating a cohesive and pleasing visual narrative, and not simply a historical timeline. Though Braque and Picasso worked together before the outbreak of World War I and Léger utilized the duo’s creation of cubism, each artist has his own style and story to learn and understand. Picasso is
known worldwide for his symbolic and geometric style, and Braque also used these elements; however, Braque stands apart from Picasso through his utilization of advertisements in his work, making him a key part in the Pop art movement in the 1950s. Additionally, Léger worked extensively in cubism like Picasso and Braque but focused intensely on the rise of machinery and technology after the Great War. These themes and styles are present in the “Modern Masters” exhibition and provide an understanding of the
“Modern Masters” is available to view at the FWMoA until Nov. 27. The exhibition and others are available to view for $8 per adult, $6 per student or those 65 years and older and $20 for families. Free general admission is also available every Thursday from 5-8 p.m. world in the early 20th century. Any and all viewers are encouraged to enjoy the exhibition, as shows at the FWMoA are not only for art buffs or historians, said Shepard. All of the exhibitions have wall text to introduce the artist and describe the art. Many art pieces also have extended text to provide more information about a specific piece. Some shows also have screens in place with artist inter-

Shriners unite with Santas Holiday-themed pub crawl to benefit nonprofit hospitals By Whitney Wright wwright@kpcmedia.com

Santacon Fort Wayne’s logo encourages participants to dress as any holiday figure they choose, including Santa or a reindeer.
Mike Hardiek, one of the event coordinators for Santacon Fort Wayne, got the idea while visiting Cincinnati, Ohio. He saw thousands of Santa Clauses and holiday-themed individuals walking around the city one winter. After inquiring into the details of the event, he learned of Santacon Cincinnati, which is tied into helping a nonprofit. Hardiek felt it was all a perfect match for Fort Wayne. “It’s one thing to dress up as Santa Claus and

Fort Wayne has a new holiday tradition on Dec.10 for adults in the community looking to have a little fun during the busy holiday season while benefiting a worthy local charity. Santacon Fort Wayne is an opportunity for people 21-years and older to dress as a favorite holiday figure — whether it be Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, an elf or Ralphie from “A Christmas Story” — and enjoy some of the best restaurants and bars in downtown Fort Wayne. Partakers receive a numbered lanyard which allows them to receive specials at participating locations and win raffle prizes, all while providing funds to the Mizpah Shrine Patient Van Replacement Fund.

Christmas in the Park ‘fun, fascinating and free’
By Rod King
For Times Community Publications
Christmas in the Park will celebrate with activities focusing on the meaning of Christmas. Crowds are expected to the festival Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 26 and 27, at Franke Park. Judi Hapke, Christ Child Festival board member and publicity chairwoman for the event, expects it to meet and exceed the “three F’s” — fun, fascinating and free. “It’s more than just a walk through and observe type festival,” Hapke said. “There will be plenty of things for people to get involved in. We expect more than 10,000 people. It will open to the public at 11 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. each day.” Visitors can park in the
Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo lot for free and then make the short walk to the pavilion and several tents where the activities will be held. The largest of the tents will feature the Animal Grams petting area with sheep, a donkey, chickens and more, games for children, crafts and entertainment featuring several local talents including City Councilman Tom Didier singing Christmas carols. Camels brought up from Southern Indiana will be next to the tent decorated to represent the Magi — the Kings who traveled to Bethlehem to worship the baby Jesus. Inside another tent will be a representation of the streets of Bethlehem, with a census taker at the entrance asking visitors
to tell their ZIP Code, the number of persons in their party and how they heard about the festival. Hapke said it will all be recorded on a scroll, which will “give us an idea of the demographics of our guests and how to prepare for next year. They’ll get to smell frankincense, which was one of the gifts brought to the baby Jesus.” There will also be a live Nativity and the youth theater group Fire & Light (formerly Audience of One) will be dressed in period costumes mingling with the crowd. The Christmas story will be told via recording in one tent that features life-size figures of Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus, the three kings and shepherds. Festivalgoers are urged to bring their cameras

and cell phones. Bright red, 4-foot-tall words Joy,
Love and Hope will make excellent photo ops for possible Christmas card use. Horse-drawn wagon and carriage rides might also serve as photo ops. Hapke said people are invited to bring reading glasses and new white underwear for distribution by jail chaplains to inmates at the Allen County Jail. Local seamstresses, who have been making hundreds of dresses for the Little Dresses for Africa program, will display their work. Visitors are urged to write a note and donate money for postage to send the garments around the world. People will also have the opportunity to express their thanks to law enforcement officers by penning a note that will be attached to the gift bags of candy to Fort Wayne Police and Allen County Sheriff officers. A decorated red, white and blue Christmas tree,
which will be given to the Veterans Administration Hospital, will include personal notes written by festival attendees to thank veterans for their service. In addition, folks will be able to learn ideas for constructing crafts and food items for sharing as Christmas gifts. There will be balloons for kids and free cookies, lemonade, coffee and hot chocolate. Donated books, CDs and DVDs will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Christmas in the Park, which is sponsored by the Christ Child Festival committee, is an all-volunteer activity. Hapke said persons interested in helping can find an application form on the group’s website: christchildfest.org, complete it and send it in. Additional information can be found on Facebook: facebook. com/ccfestival. The entertainment schedule will be posted on the website and Facebook.

FWCS to explain options at Showcase at Northrop Fort Wayne Community Schools will host its annual Showcase from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at Northrop High School, 7001 Coldwater Road. Showcase is held each year to give families an opportunity to learn more about the variety of educational options available within FWCS, including how technology is integrated with instruction at all grade levels and in every building. “Students are able to demonstrate that technology isn’t just using high-tech toys; technology enhances instruction from teachers,” the district said in a statement. New this year to Showcase are opportunities for parents to learn how they can support their students. Parents of young children, ages pre-K to Grade 3, are invited to attend Pathway to IREAD-3, a session
designed to share ways that parents can help their child at home to be prepared for the state’s reading test. Sessions will be offered at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Parents of middle and high school students are invited to a session on College and Career Readiness, which will focus on what students need to do in school to be prepared for life after high school, as well as highlighting strategies for successfully choosing a college or career. These sessions will also be offered at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Showcase is a free event featuring the district’s elementary, middle and high schools, including FWCS’ seven magnet schools, neighborhood schools and programs of study at the high schools. At the event, parents can receive information and ask questions about how to
choose and apply for the program that best suits their children’s needs. While all students are assigned a school based on where they live, for decades, FWCS parents have been able to apply to have their child attend one of the magnet schools or request an intra-district transfer to attend a different school within the district. FWCS offers the Montessori curriculum at Bunche Early Childhood Center (pre-kindergarten and kindergarten) and Towles Montessori Elementary School (first through sixth grades); New Tech is offered at Towles Middle School for seventh- and eighthgraders. The arts magnet program is offered at Whitney Young Early Childhood Center (pre-kindergarten and kindergarten), Weisser Park Elementary School (first through fifth grades) and Memorial
Park Middle School (sixth through eighth grades). Croninger Elementary School offers a magnet program focusing on communications, and math and science are a special focus at Irwin Elementary School.

Property tax bills due by Nov. 10 The Allen County Treasurer’s Office has issued a reminder to taxpayers that fall property taxes are due Thursday, Nov. 10. Postmarks with the Nov. 10 date are accepted as “on time” payments. “Long lines and long wait times can be avoided by paying early,” said Chief Deputy William Royce. “We move the lines as quickly as we can but paying early, by mail or using one of our online payment methods is the quickest way to pay.” This year the Nov. 10 tax due date is followed by Veterans Day on Friday and the Treasurer’s office will be closed.
Fall tax coupons were included in the spring tax billing; bills are not mailed out in fall. If a new bill is needed, one can be printed from the Treasurer’s website or by request. Many payment options are available; by mail, electronically through the Treasurer’s website, by credit card, payments can be dropped off in the Child Support drop box on the south end of the courthouse, or pay in person at the Treasurer’s office. Taxpayers may pay by phone by dialing 1 (877) 690-3729 and using jurisdiction code 7693; then just follow the
prompts. Payments may be mailed to: Allen County Treasurer, PO Box 2540, Fort Wayne, IN 468012540. The Treasurer’s office is located in Suite 104 of the Rousseau Centre, 1 E. Main St., Fort Wayne. Taxpayers are asked to bring their entire statement when paying in person. Office hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays. The deposit slot in the front of the Treasurer’s office is available from 7 a.m.-5:30 p.m. The self-pay kiosk is undergoing an upgrade and may not be available in time for tax collection.
Payment details and options can be found on the Treasurer’s website, allencountytreasurer.us, or contact the Treasurer’s office at (260) 449-7693.

ART from Page A1 views or information about the pieces as a way to interact with and inform those who prefer not to read. “People may be hesitant to visit because they feel like they don’t know anything about art … I want to bring people in so they can learn,” said Shepard. While the FWMoA may not have the same quantity as the museums in Chicago, New York or Los Angeles, it still has the same quality. All of the artwork in the “Modern Masters” exhibition, organized by the Contemporary and Modern Print Exhibition, was lent by an anonymous collector who does not allow the show to travel very often, making it both exquisite and rare. The FWMoA is also the national home and director of the American Cut Glass Association’s Permanent Collection. “Modern Masters” is available to view at the FWMoA until Nov. 27. The exhibition and others are available to view for $8 per adult, $6 per student or those 65 years and older and $20 for families. Free general admission is also available every Thursday from 5-8 p.m.

USF in 5-school project to ‘Crush Hunger’ here The University of Saint Francis is continuing an eight-year fight against hunger through the U Can Crush Hunger campaign, through Nov. 4. Begun in 2015 by Community Harvest Food Bank, U Can Crush Hunger is a competition among five northeast Indiana schools: USF, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana Tech, Ivy Tech Community College Northeast and Huntington University. This year’s goal is to collect a total of 50,000 pounds of protein-rich food. USF has had a fall
food drive called USF Feeds the Fort since 2008. Between 2008 and 2014, USF donated over 210,000 food items — in actual food or monetary equivalents — to help feed those in need. Community Harvest Food Bank officials report that the USF drive has historically been the second-largest annual collection of food coming into its facility, timed to assist needy families during the holidays. In 2015, Community Harvest approached representatives from the five area colleges, posing the idea of a “food fight” among them. In cooper-
ation with Community Harvest, these five schools collected 42,400 pounds of food in actual food or monetary equivalents, and USF led with over 21,500 pounds. The USF community will again donate food and money, with student and employee events being planned to inform and motivate participation in the challenge. Alumni and friends are also invited to contribute to USF’s efforts to crush hunger by bringing protein-rich food items in non-glass containers to the North Campus Auditorium foyer at 2702 Spring St., or by making
a monetary donation. Every dollar donated is equivalent to three pounds of food. Checks should be made out to Community Harvest Food Bank, or cash can be given to any USF administrative assistant on its main and downtown campuses. Donations can also be made by visiting the Community Harvest Food Bank home page, chfb. org. For more information about U Can Crush Hunger, contact USF campaign coordinator Sister Anita Holzmer, OSF, at (260) 399.7700, ext. 6705.

FWCS voters to decide two School Board seats Voters will decide two contests for the Fort Wayne Community School Board this fall. This newspaper contacted those four candidates with questions about their qualifications and goals. Here are the questions and their replies. District 2, Glenna Jehl, incumbent Q.) What do you believe to be the strengths of the Fort Wayne Community Schools district? A.) One of the greatest strengths of FWCS is the diversity of the student population. The school district handles a variety of children of many different backgrounds, languages, and abilities while offering all children a quality education. Q.) What policies would you pursue in the next four years on the School Board? A.) I stand ready to help FWCS face many challenges in the future
SANTA from Page A1 and organizing the event while Scott Thatcher, the other event coordinator, will be more in charge of the event on the day. Santacon Fort Wayne can best be described as a pub crawl, though participants are not required to stay on a specific route and may visit the designated Santacon restaurants and bars in whatever order they choose. This not only keeps the locations from becoming overly crowded but allows for those participating to stay as long as they like at whatever locations they want. The Santacon organization is a loosely-based group that cities all over can adapt to fit their
such as a growing teacher shortage, continuing the building renovations, and resolving transportation needs. I will continue to stand for academic excellence for all students, while stressing dollars are spent wisely and ensuring a safe learning environment. Q.) Please list your occupation and education. A.) Realtor since 2004, currently with Olinger & Associates Inc. Graduated from the University of Notre Dame, Class of ‘79. Q.) Do you have children in the FWCS schools, or have you had children enrolled in FWCS in the past? A.) No, my children went to parochial schools or were home-schooled. Q.) Would you be open to voter feedback on a continuing basis? A.) Yes, I always welcome hearing from my constituents. I may be contacted anytime through the FWCS website “Let’s
Talk” or by emailing me at glennajehl@gmail.com. District 2, Jared Bradley Q.) What do you believe to be the strengths of the Fort Wayne Community Schools district? A.) Fort Wayne Community Schools is an amazing school district. We have wonderful facilities and incredible teachers. Q.) What policies would you pursue in the next four years on the School Board? A.) My main goal, if elected, is to provide reliable transportation for all FWCS students. Losing the bus routes negatively affected thousands of families. Also, I would like to see an efficiency study done on the FWCS administration to ensure that all positions are working as effectively as possible. Q.) Please list your occupation and education.
A.) I am a master electrician with LanCon Electric. Q.) Do you have children in the FWCS schools, or have you had children enrolled in FWCS in the past? A.) I have two children enrolled in FWCS. My daughter is a seventhgrade student at Jefferson Middle School and my son is a fourth-grade student at Arlington Elementary School. Q.) Would you be open
to voter feedback on a continuing basis? A.) I would love to receive continued feedback from voters. Please email me at Jaredbradley15@gmail.com. Also visit my website at www.jaredbradley.com.
needs. While it is convenient to use because of its established marketing and networking, not all Santacons are hosted as nonprofit benefits or are what Hardiek calls “userfriendly.” He is adamant that that will not be the case for Fort Wayne’s Santacon. “Some people [at the bigger Santacon events] become tasteless. We’re trying to make sure everyone is respectful on that day,” said Hardiek. All of the proceeds during Santacon Fort Wayne will go to the Mizpah Shrine Patient Van Replacement Fund as part of the Shriners’ Hospitals for Children in Chicago and Cincinnati. The hospitals serve patients in need of its
services regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. However, in addition to the cost of treatment, it is often difficult for patients and their families to afford and manage the long distances to the hospitals. To meet this need, Shriner-funded vans run daily to each hospital location. A van picks up the patient and their family, drives them to the hospital in Cincinnati or Chicago, waits for their appointments to end and then drives them back to their homes. The long distances put thousands of miles on the Shriners’ vans. These vans often need extensive maintenance and eventually need replaced. Santacon Fort Wayne’s proceeds directly assist
in replacing the old vans for newer, more reliable ones. Lanyards are $20 each and allow the opportunity to win raffles and entry into the after party at the Freemasons Hall; entry into just the after party for those who wish not to join the pub crawl is $10. Buy lanyards at santaconfortwayne.com. Participating restaurants and bars include Club Soda, Henry’s, Columbia Street West, JK O’Donnell’s, 816 Pint N Slice, O’Reilly’s Irish Bar and Restaurant, Rudy’s and the Thirsty Camel. All of the locations are within walking distance from one another. The pub crawl will be from 1-6 p.m., with the after party running
from 6-9 p.m. The after party will include live music from Hot House, raffles, costume contests and a cash bar, but most importantly it will serve as a central location for participants to learn about the reason behind Santacon Fort Wayne. “[The after party] will be a chance for
Downtown to fund, advise new events in slow season Fort Wayne’s Downtown Improvement District is offering $10,000 to select and develop events during the slower season of February through April, 2017. Due to the success of last year’s events — Weather the Fort and Art Crawl — The DID is bringing back a contest that invites businesses, organizations and individuals to submit their best ideas for events in those months. Winning events will be awarded funding and an event consultation session. “The intent of this contest is to encourage year-round usage and engagement downtown by offering an incentive for event production
during classically less active months,” said Bill Brown, Downtown Improvement District president. “Through strategic support we hope to help others create attractive public opportunities with an emphasis on new events that will continue to advance the vibrancy of Downtown Fort Wayne.” The event must take place within the Downtown Improvement District boundaries, encompassing 99 blocks. Applications will be accepted through midnight, Friday, Nov. 4. For information, stipulations, a map of the eligible area, and an online application, visit: DowntownFortWayne.com/ New-Events.

Physician receives award as Fabric of Community
By Rod King
For Times Community Publications
Dr. Robert Dettmer was recently presented the Matthew 25 Health & Dental Clinic’s Fabric of the Community Award in recognition of his dedication, contributions, long service and continuing support of the clinic at 413 E. Jefferson Blvd. The retired physician serves on the board of directors as a board member emeritus. “This is a great honor to be recognized for this award,” said Dettmer, “and it has been a pleasure working with this organization. I’ve been volunteering here since 1998, served on the board from 2000 to 2007 and as far as I’m concerned, Matthew 25 is, indeed, the fabric of the community. “It’s a very unusual organization because it operates independently while receiving lab and X-Ray services from Parkview Hospital. All its services are free to low-income and uninsured residents of northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. One of the major reasons
Matthew 25 can offer its medical and dental services for free is its more than 400 volunteers. And though that seems like a lot of people, new volunteers are always welcome.” Dettmer and two other doctors hold emeritus status on the board. “That means that we don’t have a vote, but we do get to enter into discussions and give our 2 cents concerning issues facing Matthew 25. Because we’ve been around a while, the three of us are sort of a repository of history concerning the organization and its traditions, and are involved as advisers to help direct it to continued growth and success. We also are heavily involved in the financial campaigns. “Matthew 25 opened my eyes. When I first came here I knew a certain segment of our community was in need, but I didn’t realize that for many, this is the place they come when there is nothing else available. The organization has been serving the most vulnerable individuals in our society since
1976. I’m proud to have been able to be a part of it.” “Volunteers are needed in three areas,” Dettmer said. “Patient assistants are needed to work directly with the big drug companies to get free prescriptions for our clients. Over the years they’ve helped obtain more than six million dollars worth of free of medications which breaks down to 6,610 prescriptions. People are always needed to assist in the pharmacy and, of course, nurses and physicians.” A native of Tocsin, Ind., in Wells County, Dettmer’s family moved to Fort Wayne when he was 12. He is a graduate of Concordia Lutheran High School, where he met his wife, Sue. Working at Waynedale Pharmacy while in high school inspired him to study pharmacy at Butler University. He worked at Hooks Pharmacy and in the Parkview Hospital pharmacy a couple years before going back to medical school to become a nephrologist at the University of

Rotary Club dedicates 100th Little Free Library By Garth Snow
gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Byron Health Center welcomed Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry and the Rotary Club of Fort Wayne in celebrating two milestones. Henry presented Byron Executive Director Deb Lambert with a proclamation celebrating Byron’s 50 years as a licensed nursing home. Rotary Club President Candace Schuler and Henry shared with Lambert in opening the 100th Little Free Library. Byron Health Center has been a part of the community since 1853, has been in the same location since 1916, and has been a licensed nursing home for 50 years, Henry said in his proclamation. “The former tuberculosis sanitarium has evolved into a long-term-care facility,” the Rotary Club said in a statement. The mayor said Byron provides physical, emotional, mental and neurological services to patients young and old. “Each resident is recognized as an individual with unique needs who seeks and deserves to reach their optimal potential,” Henry said. He described Byron as “a community of inclusion and acceptance.” Lambert and Henry spoke to staff and residents in the dining room. “So as the community health needs changed over the course of decades,

our mission and our vision changed with that,” Lambert said. “I don’t think we could do the things that we do without the support of the Mayor’s Office and the [Allen County] Commissioners Office.” Lambert also addressed the second celebration, in the Byron lobby, where a former phone booth alcove found its new calling as a free lending library. ” … we had the great fortunate … to have the Rotary Club install a Little Library here and we were fortunate enough to be the 100th library,” she said. “Rotary has a long history with Byron Health Center,” Schuler said. “Back in 1919 our group, with Fort Wayne, helped to fund raise to erect this building. And so when we did our Little Free Libraries we thought it would be
really appropriate to have one of them here.” Lambert said the library will be of special value to residents who are working to become better readers. “If they want to get a GED, we’re going to help them do that,” she said. “This provides with with a resource to be able to pull something off the shelf and be able to read.” The Rotary Club embarked on the 100 Little Free Libraries project to celebrate its centennial in 2015. “Based on the concept of ‘Take a book, leave a book,’ the free-standing Little Free Libraries provide a way to share books freely within neighborhoods, along trails, and at other gathering places, and foster fellowship, and promote literacy,” the Rotary Club said in a statement.
