Tower marks century of service By Lucretia Cardenas lcardenas@kpcmedia.com
Washington Elementary School students displayed jazz hands and sang as they rocked around the clock of the Rotary Club of Fort Wayne’s Centennial Tower. Celebrating 100 years of service above self, the Rotary Club of Fort
Wayne brought members and community leaders together Oct. 2 to witness the ribbon cutting ceremony for the tower the organization is donating to the city. 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
Fort Wayne voters will go to the polls Nov. 3 to elect a mayor, city clerk and the nine members of the City Council. The polls will be open from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. Voter registration ended Oct. 5. Absentee voting began Oct. 6 and continues through noon Nov. 2. Visit allencounty.us/election-board for polling places and more information on absentee voting. Democratic Mayor Tom Henry faces a challenge from Republican District 4 Councilman Mitch Harper. In the May primary, Henry received more than 75 percent of the vote to win the nomination to a third term. Harper received almost 84 percent of his party’s vote. Republican Jason Arp and Democrat Rusty
York are running for that southwest District 4 council seat. Arp won a three-way race for his party’s nomination. York, a former police chief and public safety director, was unopposed. Seven candidates are seeking the three City Council At-Large seats. They are Republicans Michael Barranda, incumbent John Crawford and Thomas Freistroffer, Democrats Terry Anderson, Mike Avila and Michelle Chambers, and Libertarian Tabitha Dyck. In the race for city clerk, candidates are Republican Lana R. Keesling and Democrat Angie (Barile) Davis. Incumbent Sandra E. Kennedy did not seek re-election. Five other district council seats also are up for election.
In District 1 on the city’s east side, Paul Ensley defeated incumbent Thomas E. Smith and another candidate for the Republican nomination. Mike Conley represents the Democratic ticket. In District 2 in northeast Fort Wayne, Republican incumbent Russ Jehl faces Democrat Michelle L. Merritt. In District 3 in northwest Fort Wayne, incumbent Republican Thomas F. Didier is unopposed. In District 5 in south central Fort Wayne, incumbent Republican Geoff Paddock is unopposed. In District 6 in southeast Fort Wayne, Republican Joe Renner faces Democratic incumbent Glynn A. Hines.

City leaf collection begins with Central area Oct. 19 Fort Wayne Street Department crews will make two sweeps of each city neighborhood in the annual leaf collection program, which begins Oct. 19. Crews will begin with the Central area, Oct. 19-23 and again Nov. 9-13. The Central area is generally south of Coliseum Boulevard and north of Aboite Center Road, Engle Road, Rudisill Boulevard and McKinnie Avenue. Crews
will visit the South area Oct. 26-30 and Nov. 16-20. Service will turn to the North area, Nov. 2-6 and Nov. 30-Dec. 4. For details and a map of the zones, visit cityoffortwayne.org. The week of Nov. 23 will be a catch-up week, if needed. “This is an important benefit we provide to our neighborhoods. It’s a service that offers convenience, enhances a neighborhood’s appearance, and improves
the quality of life in our community,” Mayor Tom Henry said. Residents can rake leaves to the curb or park strip in front of their home, making sure they are ready for pickup by 7 a.m. on Monday of their designated week, as leaf collection may occur on any day of that week. Other yard waste should not be mixed with the leaves, and cars should not be parked over the leaves.
You’re unique. Our ortho event is, too.
Or, residents may place leaves in biodegradable bags at the curb, and call 311 to schedule a pickup. This option allows residents to set their own schedule for pickup. Bagged leaves will be collected within two businesses days of their call to 311. There will be no leaf collection on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov.11. Beginning the afternoon of Oct. 19, daily updates of crews’ next-day assignments will be available at the website cityoffortwayne. org/leaves. Residents may call the leaf pickup hot line, (260) 427-2302, to get daily updates. The city asks parents to remind children to not play in leaf piles near the street. To prevent street flooding, residents should make sure leaves are not near a storm drain and that storm drains are free and clear to handle rain water.

A Congregation Achduth Vesholom event is intended to raise awareness while raising money for the Fort Wayne temple. The 14th annual Corned Beef on Rye … Sure to Satisfy Fundraiser will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, at Temple CAV, 5200 Old Mill Road. “It’s the primary fundraiser for the temple,” fundraiser co-chairman Kris Gray said. “It helps support a lot of activities, primarily for the temple. But there are some events that are open to the public that the temple presents free of charge.” Those events include speakers and other programs. “But the main thing is we’d like the community to come not only to raise
money for us, but to let the community know that the Jewish community is still active and vibrant in Fort Wayne, and this is one opportunity to sit down and have some corned beef and get to know us,” Gray said. Each meal costs $15, and includes a one-thirdpound corned beef deli sandwich, cole slaw, dill pickle, brownie and drink. Find an order form at templecav.org. Meals can be packed up for carry-out, or guests can sit down in a small cafeteria style area and share in the company during their meals. Walk-ins will be welcomed. “We’ll have plenty of corned beef and we’ll have some bulk items,” Gray said. Melissa Kessel, Bonnie Pomerantz and Larry Adelman also serve on the fundraiser committee. “We’ve got a ton of
people. We probably end up with a hundred or so volunteers coming in to the temple to do various things — mailings, preparation of sponsorships. The night before the event is when we actually do most of the laying out and parceling out of the product,” Gray said. Volunteers also cut the brownies on the eve of the luncheon. “I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a restructuring and re-identification of the campus,” Gray said. The temple and grounds now are known as Rifkin Campus at 5200. “Not only are we a temple congregation, but the building is also home to the refurbished Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne. We have a Head Start operation going on during the school year, and the Indiana Historical Society is also headquartered in that building.”

It’s always nice to have that kind of community support.” The campus transition takes a major step forward in October, with groundbreaking for the new $1.07 million Madge Rothschild Resource Center and dedication of the Rifkin Campus at 5200 sign. The 3,150-square-foot Rothschild Center is scheduled to open in the fall of 2016. It will include the Rabbi Richard B. Safran Library and the Jacob L. Goldman Memorial Museum. Plans call for an 1,100-squarefoot inner courtyard with a proposed sculpture garden visible from the Resource Center. The temple traces its roots to 1848 as Indiana’s first Jewish congregation.

O’DZ Jeep Jam to mark 10th anniversary Country duo Montgomery Gentry will headline the closing concert of the 10th anniversary O’DZ Jeep Jam. Closing ceremonies begin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Allen County Fair Grounds, 2726 Carroll Road, Fort Wayne. The headliners take the stage at 8:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $20 each, and are available at odzjeepjam.com. The annual event benefits Military Families Ministry, a program of Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County. Off-road checkin begins at 6:30 a.m. at O’Daniel Jeep, 5911 Illinois Road, Fort Wayne. The Patriot Guard escorts a parade from O’Daniel at 8:15, bound for the Blessing of the Jeeps at Speedway Concrete and Aggregate, 400 S. Whitley St., South Whitley, and at Kessie Jeep Farm, 4166 S. Whitley Road, South Whitley. Montgomery Gentry canceled a Sept. 30 concert in Georgia after the death of Eddie Montgomery’s youngest son, Hunter Montgomery. Montgomery and his duo partner, Troy Gentry, had been scheduled to perform at the North Georgia State Fair in Marietta, Ga. O’DZ Jeep Jam later posted an update on the website. “We were just notified that Eddie Montgomery would like to proceed with the O’DZ Jeep Jam fundraiser for Military families. Eddie and Troy’s devotion is truly astounding. ‘We get to dream as big as we want to, be anything we want to be and enjoy the freedoms we all enjoy because of our military, and we never, ever forget that,’ Eddie Montgomery says. ‘Troy Gentry and I support these men and women every chance we get.’ “We are humbled by
their devotion during every parent’s worst nightmare. “To express our gratitude and support their devotion to Military Families, O’Daniel Automotive Group would like to fulfill Eddie’s request to support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in honor of Hunter Gentry.” The Jeep Jam website promised details will be posted soon. The day’s activities will include off-roading courses, a car show, kids’ games and the Bigfoot Car Crusher. At the Allen Country Fairgrounds, attendees can participate in family fun activities and attend the “After Party for a Cause,” featuring Montgomery Gentry. The event will end with a fireworks display by Camtor Pyrotechnics. For a full schedule of events, visit odzjeepjam. com/2015-schedule-ofevents.
“The Jeep Jam has grown into an amazing community of support and generosity,” said Greg O’Daniel, general manager of O’Daniel Automotive Group. “When Jeep Jam started 10 years ago, it was a small evening gathering of maybe 75 customers. Jeep Jam 10 is poised to be the largest, most successful philanthropy project in our company’s history. With the help of our event sponsors, Jeep Jam will support the Associated Churches Military Fund in a big way.” Working with the National Guard and Northeast Indiana Military Assistance Network, Military Families Ministry assists those with loved ones deployed, as well as provides emergency housing, reintegration assistance, job placement and general advocacy.

Fort Wayne Community Schools and the Fort Wayne Education Association have agreed on a two-year contract that compensates teachers for education and years of experience and continues the payment of stipends through the federal Teacher Incentive Fund grant. A tentative agreement was reached Sept. 9. Teachers ratified the agreement, and the School Board approved the agreement Sept. 29. The new contract covers only wages and wage-related benefits as stipulated by state law. The law also limits wage increases to teachers evaluated as effective or highly effective. FWCS is still in the process of finalizing teacher evaluations for 2014-15 as state data is not yet available. Under the new contract for 2015-16, eligible teachers who are currently paid below the average for teachers with equal education and years of experience will be brought up to the average. Eligible teachers who are at or above the average will receive a 1 percent salary increase. In 2016-

the TIF grant, effective and highly effective teachers will continue to be eligible for stipends beyond their base pay. For each year, effective teachers will receive a $2,000 stipend; highly effective teachers will receive a $2,500 stipend.

In addition to the Indonesian Rain Forest, the Central Zoo, portions of the Australian Adventure, and portions of the African Journey will be open during the event. The Wild Zoo Halloween presented by Star Financial Bank
is a fundraiser for the zoo, which is a nonprofit organization receiving no tax funding for operations. New for 2015, the Wild Zoo Halloween path is rerouted to pass through the Indonesian Rain Forest, where guests can see Asmara the baby Sumatran orangutan before the zoo closes for the winter. Asmara was born Nov. 22, 2014. Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered in the wild. In support of orangutan conservation, all treats at the Wild Zoo Halloween are palm-oil free or are manufactured by companies that are members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The sustainable production of palm oil is considered crucial to the survival of orangutans, because their rain forest habitat is often destroyed to create poorly managed and unsustainable palm oil plantations.

The budget continues to present long-term financial challenges for FWCS, which remains one of the largest school districts in the state. After reducing the transportation expenses by $2.6 million this year, the fund is stabilized and no additional
transportation reductions are necessary. In a statement, the school district explained that because of changes in state funding and enrollment declines, reductions in the General Fund may be necessary in the future. “We always look at least five years out when planning our budget, and if the most recent trends continue, we may have to look at budget reductions,”

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.

Chief Financial Officer Kathy Friend said. “While recent changes in the state funding formula weren’t as detrimental as originally proposed, the money we receive from the state will be essentially flat over the next two years.” FWCS remains among the highest in the state in terms of funneling dollars into the classroom. During the 2012-13 school year, the
most recent year for which data is available, FWCS spent 67.4 percent of its budget in the classroom, compared with the state average of 57.5 percent. “Our goal is always to ensure the maximum amount of dollars goes into the classroom,” Friend said. “We are here to serve students, and we work hard to make sure they have the resources, support and

Barb McCoy and Rosemary Gibbs box up apple dumplings at Forest Park United Methodist Church. Church volunteers will make 1,300 apple dumplings for a three-day sale.
APPLE from Page A1 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.

Blood drive in honor of local mother of 13 An American Red Cross blood drive Oct. 17 is in honor of a local mother of 13 who needed blood during two of her pregnancies. The drive will be held from 9 a.m until 3 p.m. at Scout Park Conference Center, 2300 Meyer Road, Fort Wayne. In a statement, the Red Cross said the blood drive is in honor of Sarah Tippmann and all mothers and families. While delivering her seventh child, Tippmann suffered a hemorrhage that required surgery and eight units of blood. Mother and baby recovered and Tippmann went on to have six more children. However, her last delivery was even more challenging. At about five months into her pregnancy, she was diagnosed with a rare complication,
placenta accreta. By 30 weeks, the placenta had grown through the uterus into the bladder, causing damage. A few weeks later, just as she was leaving her doctor’s office, Tippmann began bleeding heavily. A medical team immediately took her to an operating room where she underwent an emergency C-section, a hysterectomy and bladder surgery. She was transfused with 24 units of blood. Days later, Tippmann said, she met the newest love of her life, Andrew. The newborn spent three weeks in neonatal intensive care while the mother underwent a second surgery and two more weeks in the hospital. “I am forever thankful to generous volunteer donors for their gift of lifesaving blood,” Tippmann said.
“God gave me two lives that day, Andrew’s and mine,” she said. “Our 13 children still had a mother, my husband still has his wife and I get to enjoy the beauty of watching them grow and love. This was only possible through those individuals who donated blood. I can never thank them enough.” Jay and Sarah Tippmann and family encourage anyone who can to give blood in honor of all mothers and families. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call (800) 733-2767.
Huntertown Park to hold Family Fun Day Oct. 24 Huntertown’s first Family Fun Day will take place from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24. The celebration is part of the grand opening celebration of the Huntertown Family Park, at the corner of Woods Road and Old Lima Road in downtown Huntertown. “We are gearing up for a big day. We are going to have a lot of things to do,” said Dan Holmes, Friends of Huntertown Parks Inc. president. Planned events include historical tours of Huntertown on horse-drawn carriages, face painting, sidewalk chalk drawing and balloon animals among other children’s activities, a yoga demonstration, a pumpkin toss, a corn-hole tournament,
a visit from Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehab, a vintage car drive-in, and displays from the Huntertown Fire Department. Other details will be posted at huntertownfamilypark.com. The Miss Huntertown Pageant will kick off the festivities at 10 a.m. Holmes said parking for the event is available at Riverside Manufacturing and Precision Laser Services, located adjacent to the park on Old Lima Road. A shuttle service will be available to transport guests back and forth and an officer will be on site to help walkers across the street, Holmes said. Food and craft vendors will also be on site. For information on getting a booth for the
event, email info@huntertownfamilypark.com. Holmes also said the committee is working on a photo booth for families to have pictures taken with a fall theme. Phase one of the park project is complete and includes trails through the woods, a 1.5-mile walking path, a dog park, a small playground, horseshoe pits, a ga ga pit, two pavilions, picnic areas with gas grills and an amphitheater and stage which doubles on the back as a sledding hill. Plans for the park include restrooms, softball diamond, sand volleyball court, splash pad, ice skating rink/basketball court, veterans memorial and a Historic Society building.

4th Trail Blazer Oct. 18; about 1,000 to run, walk Organizers have set a goal of 1,000 runners for the fourth annual Trail Blazer 5K/10K, which begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18, at Summit Middle School, 4509 Homestead Road, Fort Wayne. The event raises money to connect more trails. “Events like the Trail Blazer are a critical part of expanding the trails,” said Lori Rose, Fort Wayne Trails’ executive director. “As we work with the City of Fort Wayne and Allen County to extend our region’s trails throughout our community, it takes an army of supporters to
continue the progress. We are so grateful to all the Trail Blazer volunteers and participants who raise funds every year to keep the trails moving forward, so that thousands more people can safely travel to arts and cultural destinations, schools, retail areas, downtown, and neighboring communities in the future. The more funds we raise, the more trails we can build and connect in every quadrant. “ Currently, 85 miles have been constructed. With successful fundraising over the next five years, Fort Wayne Trails Inc. aims to help connect
over 100 miles to fill critical gaps in the current trail network. The first 900 Trail Blazer participants will receive an Under Armour racing shirt and goody bag, and, prizes will be given to top place finishers in each age group. Teams are also being accepted this year and will receive even more perks. A Kids’ 1 Mile Fun Run will take place on the Summit Middle School track and will be supervised by Fort Wayne Trails volunteers. Details and registration information can be found at fwtrails.org. This year’s title sponsor is
Lutheran Hospital. Participation in special events such as the Trail Blazer 5K/10K and individual donations have helped to build the trail system to over 85 miles, connecting neighborhoods to schools, parks and other destinations. There are still gaps in the system, and several upcoming projects are scheduled to be completed by the City of Fort Wayne, Allen County and Fort Wayne Trails in and near the Trail Blazer race route. These all have the funding in place, and are in some stage of planning or construction.

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 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 merchan-
dising 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.
