Saint Mary’s Christmas Box to help 1,000 families By Rod King

For Times Community Publications

One thousand families will receive a box crammed with canned foods through the Saint Mary’s Soup Kitchen Christmas Box Program. On Dec. 10, those families also will get a loaf of fresh bread, butterspread, potatoes and either a ham or turkey. Persons wishing to be eligible for a Christmas box can register at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church at the corner of Jefferson Boulevard and Lafayette Street: the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 19, from 10 a.m. to noon; or the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 26, from 10-11 a.m. A photo ID, driver’s license or Green Card is required. The person registering will then receive a postcard in the mail, which should be presented to receive the food box. Though the distribution date is still a month

away, volunteers are already arranging for the tons of food needed to fill the boxes, ordering the meat and stockpiling the potatoes. According to Joe Miller, director of the Christmas Box Program, each family will get a variety of canned fruits and vegetables and spaghetti and sauce. In addition, they’ll receive a fresh loaf of bread provided by the Lewis Bakery here in Fort Wayne, a five-pound bag of potatoes and one pound of butter-spread. They can also choose a ham or a turkey. Someone dressed as Saint Nick will be on hand to pass out candy to people waiting in line Kelly Box & Packaging Co. donates the 1-cubic-foot-square boxes, which will be assembled by students at Saint John the Baptist Elementary School.

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

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 long-standing 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 Elizabeth 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

“

I want to bring people in so they can learn.” Charles Shepard

before the outbreak of World War I and Léger utilized the duos’ 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 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 interviews 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

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.

Students from seven local schools will pack the food boxes in the basement of Saint Mary’s Catholic Church several days before the distribution on Dec. 10. The boxes are then moved upstairs via conveyor belt. More than 150 volunteers are involved in picking up food donations, separating canned goods and other groceries, filling boxes and helping clients get their food to their cars.

BOX from Page A1 system. The boxes then will be placed onto a conveyor belt which will take them upstairs to Oettering Hall to await the distribution. “This is a really big operation,” Miller said. “We’ll have around 150 volunteers doing everything from picking up food donations and separating canned goods and other groceries to loading boxes, helping clients get their food to their cars and breaking down cardboard food

containers for recycling. When the people come in on the 10th, they’ll present their postcard, pick up a food box, bread, butter-spread and potatoes. Outside, they can choose what meat they want from the truck. “The church has been doing this since the 1980s when Snider High School administrator Leon Youngpeter got things rolling. I’ve been involved for the past five years and it’s a great program. We’ve developed a pretty efficient system of loading boxes and getting them

upstairs. The place is a real madhouse a few days before the distribution, but everything moves along nicely when the clients come in between 9 a.m. and noon on the 10th. “We couldn’t possibly do this without the help of dedicated volunteers, local firms that contribute either food or funds to purchase what is needed and the young people who make films at Windsong Production Co. who bring in more than 2,000 cans of food each year.”

Early voting also is available at the Aboite, Dupont, Georgetown and Hessen Cassel branch libraries during these hours: Friday, Nov. 4, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; and

Saturday, Nov. 5, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Photo ID is required to vote at the Rousseau Centre and the library satellites. Absentee ballots also must be received by noon Monday, Nov. 7. Election information and sample ballots are available online at allencountyvoters.info, or by calling the Election Board at (260) 449-7329. The polls wil be open Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. The board is advising voters to review their ballot instructions for

new rules regarding straight party voting.

This will affect the Allen County Council At-Large race during the 2016 election. If a voter chooses to vote a straight party ticket, that voting mark will cast a vote for all candidates in that party, except for the at-large county council race. In that race, the voter must choose each candidate they wish to

Byron Health celebrates day of two milestones 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-termcare facility,” the Rotary Club said in a statement. The mayor said Byron provides physical, emotional, mental and neurological services to patients young and

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.

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.

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.

Arcola’s Citizen of Year calls for more volunteers By Garth Snow

gsnow@kpcmedia.com

The Arcola Volunteer Fire Department honored Deanna “Dee Dee” Wilhelm as the Arcola Citizen of the Year. She accepted the surprise recognition Oct. 18 at the fire station. “I didn’t have any clue there was going to be an award,” Wilhelm said. She attended at the urging of her husband, Steve, who retired after 30 years with the AVFD. Assistant Chief Trebor Trahin recited Wilhelm’s

contributions, including creating thousands of reflective signs that mark addresses in the department’s service area. “I made the signs from the time the firehouse started selling them,” Wilhelm told this newspaper. “There have been lots of signs over the years.” She said she appreciated the recognition, but said her work was never a burden. “I remember driving past signs and I thought ‘I remember doing that one’ and that was just kind of neat,”

she said. The longtime fire department volunteer and Carroll High School band mom said it’s time for the next group of volunteers to step forward. “I just think there’s a difference in the new generation from the generation that I’m a part of, and [they feel] there’s nothing in it for them,” she said. “We need to change that mindset.” “I think people need to be more involved in their community, and encourage their children to be involved — their

She first was a spouse of a firefighter and all that goes with that, and then an active member of the fire department auxiliary. Then, when the auxiliary became inactive, they more than once were called to organize and provide food and drinks to the firefighters during extended calls, which meant quickly calling others to help, contacting businesses to donate

supplies on the spot, and taking provisions to the scene.” Trahin said the Wilhelms even brought their three children to the firehouse to play the patients for CPR training. “She, too, learned some of those skills during their training and has an accredited CPR save under her belt,” he said. Trahin said Wilhelm’s most visible contribution was making the reflective signs for more than 20 years. “On the way home tonight, when you notice her handiwork along the roads and her dedication to the community, you will know the person who made them,” he said.

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. Magnet schools have no boundaries and draw students from throughout the district. Each high school will have information on their Programs of Study: Project Lead the Way-Engineering at Northrop; Early College at North Side; Project Lead the Way-Biomedical at Snider; International Baccalaureate at South Side; and New Tech Academy and Early College at Wayne. Parents wanting to request that their child attend a different school must have their school assignment application submitted by Tuesday, Dec. 20. Applications will be available at Showcase, at schools and online at fortwayneschool.org. If there are more applicants than spaces available at any of the schools, lotteries will be held on Jan.

Fun event nets $29,000 for The Literacy Alliance The Literacy Alliance held its third annual Laughs for Literacy fundraising event, a Twisted Colleague-Wed Game, at Parkview Mirro Center for Research. Eleven teams competed as their fans cheered them on. Office colleagues, as opposed to newlyweds, were asked questions about one another in a twist on “The Newlywed Game.” More than 200 attendees enjoyed the event. Following the Colleague-Wed Game, comedic hypnotist Rusty Z entertained the audience. The event raised more than $29,000 to provide literacy services to those in Allen County. Midwest Pipe and Steel’s team placed first. BF Goodrich placed second. Wolf Mattress placed third. Executive Director Mike Landram said the event could not have succeeded without the

support of many local businesses and organizations. “We’re very fortunate to live in a community that values education and helping individuals like our students succeed,” he said. “Thank you to all that sponsored this event and made it a success.” Landram went on to say, “This event raises funds to help us serve a segment of the 30,000 adults in Allen County struggling with their literacy skills and who want their high school equivalency diploma, so that they may go on to read to their families, obtain better jobs and become self-sufficient. We are grateful to our terrific volunteers and generous sponsors for their support.” The Literacy Alliance works to help adults improve their education and achieve their high school equivalency diploma. All classes are

offered free to students. The organization operates seven neighborhood-based learning centers and services, which include basic adult education, small group reading classes and prep for the High School Equivalency diploma (formerly GED). The agency uses professional teachers and trained tutors, and coordinates outreach services including free child care and transportation. The Literacy Alliance began in the 1960s as the Fort Wayne Literacy Coalition, which worked to match volunteer tutors with adults who wanted to improve reading skills. In 1988, the group merged with the Northeast Indiana Literacy Council to become the Three Rivers Literacy Alliance and services were expanded. In 2004, the name of the organization was shortened to The Literacy Alliance.

Fifth-grade students, parents and grandparents in Amy Bowman’s classroom play a game of naming the U.S. state capitals as part of Generations Day at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School. Guests visited classrooms and the book fair and joined in the all-school Mass. “This is such an awesome way to celebrate our families and our Catholic faith,” Principal Lois Widner said.

SANTA from Page A1 up as Santa Claus and walk around, and another thing to do it and benefit a nonprofit. It’s a good fundraiser and is also a way to drive people to downtown Fort Wayne,” said Hardiek. Hardiek has primarily worked on promoting 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 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

Library plans author fair with chance to buy books The Allen County Public Library will host an author fair from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, in the Great Hall of the main library, 900 Library Plaza, Fort Wayne. This is an opportunity to chat with published authors, buy their books, and attend panel discussions of interest to readers and writers. • 1 p.m. — Indiana Writes History: Preserving the Past. Randy Harter, Jim Hillman and Barbara Olenyik Morrow will talk about researching and

writing their books on facets of Indiana history. • 2 p.m. — Between the Pages: All About Writing Romance. Jennifer Coffeen, Dawn Crandall and Monica Koldyke Miller will discuss their different approaches to writing for the romance genre. • 3 p.m. — Handmade Tales: The Self-Publishing Phenomenon. Stephanie Cain, Kayleen Reusser and Jennifer Foehner Wells will examine the changing world of publishing and share what’s worked for them.

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 Shriner’s Hospital 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 Shriner’s 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. 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 everyone to understand the message of the day. We hope that everybody comes down. It’s a great charity to be able to contribute to,” said Hardiek. “We’re just trying to establish another great holiday tradition in Fort Wayne and a way to enjoy the last push to Christmas.”

You’ll walk away with a free native seed packet to get your new plantings started. The workshop will also cover how to manage natural areas on your land for native plants and remove invasive species. Admission fee $5 ($3 for Botanical Conservatory members or active volunteers). Contact the Botanical Conservatory at (260) 427-6440 for information and to register.
