A window to the past Nostalgia brings back longtime Fort Wayne tradition By Valerie Gough vgough@kpcnews.net

The first time Steve Wesner saw a holiday lighting display in downtown Fort Wayne, he was just a boy standing among a crowd of thousands outside the Wolf & Dessauer department store. Each year, a winter wonderland took over the storefront, a magical, moving spectacle depicting everything good about the Christmas season. People traveled from all over the region to see its big reveal. “It was just extremely fascinating and the crowd would be heavy. You had to wait and work your way up to the front of the line to get up to the windows. People would be standing there as deep as the sidewalk was wide,” Wesner recalled. Years later, he would stand waiting in similar lines as his own children marveled at the sight. Wolf & Dessauer’s display was a first-rate means to attract shoppers and lure them through its doors. But nothing lasts forever — eventually the lavish window displays were discontinued after the retailer was purchased by L.S. Ayers. For many, those department store windows are thought of as a beloved childhood memory. But over the past several years, a sort of revival has taken place to

Jefferson Pointe Shopping Center will host its Magical Day of Giving on Nov. 17 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The event is a fundraiser for several non-profit organizations and includes exclusive discounts at the shopping center, a visit from Santa, holiday entertainment, a tree-lighting ceremony and door prizes. Tickets are $5 and available from several non-profit groups. Katrina Newman, marketing manager for the shopping center, said the event was designed to raise money for groups during the holidays. “We don’t touch any of the money,” Newman said. “Every year we have so many charities asking for donations, and this is our

“We are of that era. We’re old enough to remember Wolf & Dessauer’s windows,” James said. Since most Festival of Trees guests used street or garage parking off Harrison, they walked right by the old Indiana Hotel on their way to Embassy Theatre. James saw an opportunity. “There was nothing that would make you want to come to those windows. So I just said, let me do this … What I was thinking, I don’t know,” she said, laughing. Since then, she and her husband, David, have brought the windows to life, revealing them to the public each year during the Night of Lights. The event draws thousands to downtown Fort Wayne to watch various lighting displays turn on for the holiday season, including the former Wolf & Dessauer Santa and his reindeer, and Merry Christmas wreath displays. The James’ window designs were first inspired by a storybook Christmas tree at the Embassy’s Festival of Trees. “Our windows are a story line,” David said. “When you go to the big cities, each window is a story in itself. But this is like reading a chapter book. Each window tells you a little piece of that story.” Kathy and David have worked with local See WINDOW, page A6

Help sought for cookie-challenged cook Prettiest cookie takes home ʻPinterestingʼ prize By Valerie Gough vgough@kpcnews.net

Cooking is one of those things that makes me feel at home again. Growing up, it was what we did as a family back when family dinners weren’t altogether uncommon. My mother could effortlessly drum up a delicious dinner for four, all while singing and dancing to a good song on the radio. When my husband isn’t there to catch me in the act, I find myself doing the same thing in my own kitchen. (Thanks, Mom.) While I didn’t inherit her fine skill for song and dance, I did become a pretty good cook. But I just can’t seem to bake a good cookie. There I said it. I’m not proud of it, but it’s true — I am no stranger to the botched batch. I just can’t understand it — why can I bake cakes, pies and pastries with ease, but struggle to execute a good cookie? Allow me to explain cookie envy: it’s what I feel at cookie exchange parties when the group

The display also improves each year as Johnson adds more handmade figures to its cast of characters, which will eventually give the windows a more unified look and feel, Kathy said. And with every story line, the community becomes more familiar with Oscar the elf and his haphazard holiday adventures. This year, a misunderstanding with sleepy Santa Claus will send Oscar the elf on a wild goose chase to find a â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatchamacallit,â&#x20AC;? all the while running into colorful characters along the way. The windowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official reveal is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, during the Night of Lights. David said he hopes what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing will keep a â&#x20AC;&#x153;threadâ&#x20AC;? of tradition going in Fort Wayne, and thinks that with the help of sponsors, the windows could become more spectacular every year.

Dining & Entertainment Brewer shocked, pleased with national award By Mike Marturello mikem@kpcnews.net

There’s a certain amount of satisfaction in winning a national award

for a product you and your staff put your heart and soul into. Just ask Blaine Stuckey, co-owner of Mad Anthony Brewing Co., which

recently won a gold medal in the Great American Beer Festival national beer competition, the largest commercial beer competition in the world.

Stuckey, who lives on Jimmerson Lake, said the more than 500 brewers that put out top-quality products have a shot at winning top honors in national and international competition such as the Great American Beer Festival. You just never know if your beer is going to be honored. “It was a shocker. I was pleasantly surprised,” said Stuckey, whose company See BREW, page A16

The Fort Wayne Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir performs a holiday concert.

Make a joyful noise By Grace Housholder graceh@kpcnews.net

Music is one of the most beautiful aspects of Christmas. The holidaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; musical bounty creates opportunities to broaden musical horizons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either as an appreciative audience member or as a music-maker. For children who love to sing, the Fort Wayne Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir could very possibly become like a second family. Now in its 40th season, the FWCC is an after-school arts program for 251 children ages 8-18 from diverse backgrounds. Allen, Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Steuben, Wells and Whitley counties are

represented. Artistic director Jonathan Busarow joined the FWCC because of his passion for music and his desire to find new ways of sharing music education with all children. Denice Beights, who has been with the choir three years, said she loves working with the choir because â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is making a difference in the lives of our children, as well as the arts scene.â&#x20AC;? Sometimes children who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;fit inâ&#x20AC;? at school find a family with the choir. Beights said a young man, who has been with the choir six years now, said See CHOIR, page A16

AWS Fantasy of Lights kicks off Nov. 21 By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

The annual Anthony Wayne Services Foundation’s Fantasy of Lights will kick off the 2012 season at 6 p.m. on Nov. 21. In its 18th year, the festival will see four new displays added to the AWS collection. BAE Systems has sponsored a new lighted Santa in flight — only he isn’t on his sleigh. BAE’s Santa will be in an airplane dropping presents from the air. Midwest America Federal Credit Union will display a piece from “It’s A Wonderful Life,” featuring a bell theme. In addition, two families of AWS have sponsored displays, too. A family, in memory of their son Christopher who died nine years ago, will honor his sense of

humor with a lighted replica of the infamous leg lamp from the movie, “A Christmas Story.” A fourth, surprise display will be lit in honor of a very special young lady, said Lynne Gilmore, executive director of the AWS Foundation. Gilmore said the organization feels compelled to host the lighted tradition not only for the money raised, but as a service to the community. “Part of our mission is community inclusion,” she said. “This event is intended to address that component of our mission.” The new displays will be added to current stock, which is chock full of family favorites — from Santa and his elves playing with the water faucet to Santa eating a Penn Station sub and Johnny Tincap playing baseball with the elves.

The new displays, and those before them, have been commissioned by area families and businesses to reflect the sponsor. Each takes a few months to design and manufacture. This, Gilmore said, makes a trip through the Fantasy of Lights a unique experience every year. “The majority of our displays are original designs,” Gilmore said. That, she said, is one of the reasons more than 10,000 cars travel through Franke Park each year. “There’s nothing out there like the Fantasy of Lights.” Gilmore said AWS clients often stop out and help, whether collecting money from cars or wearing a Santa hat and waving at the cars as they enter. In addition to clients, several non-profit and service groups come out to assist the foundation with one of its largest fundraisers See LIGHTS page A12

solution.” Non-profit groups pick up and sell tickets to the Magical Day of Giving event for $5. The groups keep all of the money for themselves. It is a way for each non-profit to raise funds while funneling shoppers to Jefferson Pointe. Newman said more than 20 businesses are signed on to participate. Some offer a percentage discount while others — like Chick-fil-A — are offering something free. Newman said some groups, like the Columbia City Swim and Dive team, sold approximately 750 tickets to last year’s event, which netted the team more than $3,500 to purchase new towels, a scoreboard and other equipment. “This is open to any non-profit looking for a fundraiser. It’s proven to be a great idea,” Newman said. Tickets are available for non-profit groups to pick up and sell. Organizers need only to call the mall office at 4591160 to reserve their lot of tickets. Individuals can pick up tickets on the day of the event at the mall office and will be able to choose which charity will receive the proceeds. Some deals available on the Magical

NIPSCO expects no hike this winter

YMCA campaign picks up steam By Rick Farrant rfarrant@fwbusiness.com

The Wells County YMCA is almost halfway toward a $7-million fundraising goal to build a new, 38,000-squarefoot facility. Since January 2011, Executive Director Nikki Surbaugh said, slightly more than $3.1 million has been raised, including $2 million from the Caylor-Nickel Foundation. Surbaugh said the hope is to begin construction next fall on 32 donated acres on Blufftonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northwest side, with the opening roughly 15 months after that. She said the organization will need $6.3 million to start construction, and she acknowledged thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much work left to be done in securing contributions. But she hinted there may be some large

gifts on the horizon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving at a good speed right now,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have really good momentum.â&#x20AC;? The new building, originally projected to cost $8 million, will replace the current 13,000square-foot facility on North Main Street in Bluffton. Among the anticipated highlights of the new facility: an indoor pool; a basketball court that can be divided into two courts; a wellness center; a cycling room; an aerobics room; and a full-day child-care center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The child-care center is one of the biggest pieces of this project,â&#x20AC;? Surbaugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what it does is shows that the YMCA is not just a fitness center. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a community center focused on all ages.â&#x20AC;? The addition of programs like the childcare center, as well other

A13

community uses for the facility, are expected to almost double membership, which is now about 1,200, Surbaugh said. It is anticipated that the YMCA staff will also grow â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from two fulltime and nearly 30 part-time employees to five full-time workers and 100 or more parttime staffers. The Wells County YMCA is a branch of the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne, and Surbaugh said the Fort Wayne office is helping her organization with the fundraising campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think (the fundraising) did start off a little slow,â&#x20AC;? Surbaugh said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I think the economy might have had something to do with that. But at this point, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sharing our vision of what we want to happen and I really think people are catching on to that vision.â&#x20AC;?

The average residential customer can expect to pay slightly less than last winter for natural gas during this winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heating season, NIPSCO predicts. NIPSCO supplies natural gas to customers in most of northeast Indiana. Over the course of the five-month winter heating season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nov. 1 to March 31 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NIPSCO said its average residential customer would use a total of 624 therms and could expect to pay approximately $438. That compares to $440 for a customer using the same amount of gas last winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Market prices for natural gas continue to hold at historically low

levels, thanks in large part to plentiful domestic resources,â&#x20AC;? said NIPSCOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO Jim Stanley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is great for our customers,

especially as we head into the winter heating season, when utility bills typically reach their highest point of the year.â&#x20AC;?

Find the cause of back pain By Dr. Michael O’Donnell Back In Action Chiropractic

Patients rush to doctors every day with lower back and neck pain, which are the second most common reason for physician visits — only to upper respiratory infections. There are many complex diagnoses involving spinal paindegenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis and facet syndrome, to name a few. These labels exist to form a diagnosis, but are rarely the only factor involved in the condition. Many people seek medical care for these issues. The options down this road can be limited and invasive, and most are aimed at only symptom management. The decisions regarding the care that you undergo are critical at this point. If symptoms do not resolve quickly, in many cases you may end up being referred to a surgeon quicker than you would think. It is important to know this choice is yours. The pain is very real and can be disabling, but it is important to realize your symptoms are a sign of an underlying functional cause. For example, a patient with a severe, acute lumbar disc herniation usually is in a lot of pain. However, an underlying functional deficit was the cause of the injury in the first place. Until this functional cause is found and addressed, you may feel better at times but the pain will recur over and over. We often see patients who already have had xrays and MRI’s, already

is having symptoms because major factors were missed. All the treatments to this point have been aimed at the site of pain. This works well during the acute phase only. Pain injections, lumbar decompression treatments, chiropractic adjustments, and physical therapy all aim to restore the site of pain, but the problem causing this area to bear so much mechanical stress is usually in an adjacent area of the body that has not been addressed in previous treatments. This dysfunction causes debilitating stress on the area that is in pain. This is where a very detailed evaluation comes

involves a functional and musculoskeletal exam providing the most accurate diagnosis possible, and revealing problems that are the cause of your major symptoms. To accomplish this in our

Bust a Move raises more than $38,000 On Friday, Oct. 5, more than 400 people attended the fifth annual Bust a Move fundraiser benefitting the programs and services for breast cancer clients through Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana. Each year, for Bust a Move, local breast cancer survivors and members of the Fort Wayne Derby Girls volunteer their bodies to be “cast” for the project. Once complete, the plaster busts are distributed to local artists to create unique, inspiring representations of the female form and the emotions associated with cancer. The artists modify the casts, using various artistic mediums, to create outstanding works of art. Seventeen pieces of art were auctioned during the evening at the event held at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. “Each year, the artists step it up a notch, and this year they really out did themselves,” says Dianne May, president and CEO of Cancer Services. “We shattered all records this year, with one bust selling for $8,500 and two others breaking the $4,000 mark, bringing the total raised to over $38,000.” Jon Recker, the artist whose bust sold for $8,500, created a beautiful wooden bust sculpture capturing the beauty and spirit of breast cancer survivors in our community.

Lottery-winning parents excited to help kids An Allen County couple say winning the Hoosier Lottery is “surreal.” Brenda and Jeff Gallmeyer of Roanoke were so happy they almost were at a loss for words as they claimed a $125,000 scratch-off prize at Hoosier Lottery Headquarters on Oct. 10. The lucky winners were thrilled — not to be able to buy stuff or take a lavish vacation — but for the peace of mind that comes from being able to help their children get a head start in their own lives. “We’re excited for the sake of our kids,” said Brenda Gallmeyer. “It’s an unexpected gift, a true blessing.” The Gallmeyers are lifelong Hoosiers. Brenda works for a small publishing company and Jeff is an engineer. They have two children in college and one in high school who also plans to go to college. “This gives us a little breathing room. It will help our kids graduate from college without

debt,” said Gallmeyer. “With five drivers in the family, we might be able to replace one car and maybe take a small vacation.” Brenda Gallmeyer’s winning ticket came from Sparky Mart at 8984 N. U.S. 24 in Roanoke. She is the fourth lucky player to claim a $125,000 top prize on the $5 Fat Wallet scratchoff game. One top prize remains unclaimed at this time. The mission of the Hoosier Lottery is to maximize net income for the state in a sociallyresponsible manner. In fiscal year 2012, the Hoosier Lottery generated $211 million in surplus revenue which was used to significantly reduce the motor vehicle excise tax for all Hoosier drivers and also supported the pension funds for retired Indiana teachers, police and firefighters. Player prizes for the fiscal year totaled $533 million and $60 million was earned by Indiana retailers on the sale of Hoosier Lottery products.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Overlook Financial Risks in Retirement When you retire, you may well have accomplished some important financial goals, such as sending your children through college and paying off your mortgage. Yet, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relax just yet, because your retirement could easily last two or three decades, which means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need at least two or three decadesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of income â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which, in turn, means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need the proper savings and investment strategies in place. And, just as importantly, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also need to be aware of the types of risk that could threaten these strategies. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consider some of these risks: â&#x20AC;˘Ă&#x160; Â&#x153;Â&#x2DC;}iĂ&#x203A;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x152;Ă&#x17E; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; None of us can

say for sure how long weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll live. But it's still important to have an estimate, based on your health and family history. So if you think you may live, for 25 years in retirement, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to withdraw enough from your investments each year to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not so much that you deplete your funds before the 25 years have passed. â&#x20AC;˘Ă&#x160; Â&#x2DC;vÂ?>Ă&#x152;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x153;Â&#x2DC; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced pretty mild inflation over the past few years. But over time, even a low rate of inflation can seriously erode your purchasing power. To illustrate: If your current monthly costs are $3,000, with only a 3% annual inflation rate, that would be

about $4,000 in 10 years. And in 25 years at that same rate, your monthly costs will have more than doubled, to about $6,200. To help protect yourself against inflation risk, it's important to have at least some investments that offer growth potential, rather than only owning fixed-income vehicles, such as certificates of deposit (CDs). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also want to consider sources of rising income potential, such as dividend-paying stocks. (Keep in mind, though, that stocks can reduce or discontinue dividends at any time and are subject to market fluctuation and loss of principal.) â&#x20AC;˘ >Ă&#x20AC;Â&#x17D;iĂ&#x152;Ă&#x160; Â?Ă&#x2022;VĂ&#x152;Ă&#x2022;>Ă&#x152;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x153;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x192; â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

When you retire and begin taking withdrawals from your investment portfolio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, when you begin selling off investments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d obviously like prices to be high. After all, the classic piece of investment advice is â&#x20AC;&#x153;buy low, sell high.â&#x20AC;? But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to try to â&#x20AC;&#x153;timeâ&#x20AC;? the market this way, as it will always fluctuate. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you may want to consider sources of income whose value is not dependent on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in the financial markets. Your financial advisor may be able to recommend investments that can provide you with this type of income stream. â&#x20AC;˘ Â&#x153;Ă&#x153;Ă&#x160;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;Ă&#x152;iĂ&#x20AC;iĂ&#x192;Ă&#x152;Ă&#x160;Ă&#x20AC;>Ă&#x152;iĂ&#x192; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Many

Making Sense of Investing

retirees depend on fixed-rate investments for a good portion of their retirement income â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real challenge when interest rates are low. Consequently, when you retire, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll certainly need to be aware of the interest-rate environment and the income you can expect from these investments. Longer-term fixed-rate vehicles may be tempting, as they typically offer higher rates than shorter-term ones, but these longer term investments may have more price fluctuation and inflation risk than shorter-term investments. Consequently, you'll still likely need balance between short, intermediate, and long-term investments to provide for a portion of your income in retirement. Retirement can be a rewarding time in your life. And you can help make your retirement years even more enjoyable by understanding the relevant investment risks and taking steps to address them. /Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x192;Ă&#x160;>Ă&#x20AC;Ă&#x152;Â&#x2C6;VÂ?iĂ&#x160;Ă&#x153;>Ă&#x192;Ă&#x160;Ă&#x153;Ă&#x20AC;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x152;Ă&#x152;iÂ&#x2DC;Ă&#x160;LĂ&#x17E;Ă&#x160; `Ă&#x153;>Ă&#x20AC;`Ă&#x160; Â&#x153;Â&#x2DC;iĂ&#x192;Ă&#x160;vÂ&#x153;Ă&#x20AC;Ă&#x160;Ă&#x2022;Ă&#x192;iĂ&#x160;LĂ&#x17E;Ă&#x160;Ă&#x17E;Â&#x153;Ă&#x2022;Ă&#x20AC;Ă&#x160; Â?Â&#x153;V>Â?Ă&#x160; `Ă&#x153;>Ă&#x20AC;`Ă&#x160; Â&#x153;Â&#x2DC;iĂ&#x192;Ă&#x160; Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2DC;>Â&#x2DC;VÂ&#x2C6;>Â?Ă&#x160; `Ă&#x203A;Â&#x2C6;Ă&#x192;Â&#x153;Ă&#x20AC;Â°Ă&#x160;

New well reaches deep By Tom Bruns President, Aqua Indiana

Aqua Indiana’s 11th well now is in service, adding 500,000 gallons of water per day to the supply available for homes and businesses in Aboite Township. Modern, high-capacity wells are the result of decades of advancements in engineering and technology, but we have millions of years and miles of ice to thank for geology that contributes to our water supply. Allen County’s complex glacial history is an interesting story. Glaciers, some thousands of feet thick, covered northern Indiana until about 13,000 years ago. In fact, a series of at least four glaciers advanced and retreated through the area from several directions leaving behind sediment deposits that cover the area. In northwestern Allen County up to 300 feet of sand, clay and rock debris called “glacial till” cover the underlying bedrock and water trapped in aquifers below. In eastern Allen County, bedrock is just 30-50 feet below the surface. Many people imagine aquifers as an underground river, but in our area these glacial till deposits act more like a sponge. Water percolates through the soil and collects in the glacial sand and gravel layers, some flows through to fill voids and cracks in the bedrock below. Sixty-six percent of Hoosier residents rely on groundwater as their primary drinking water source. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources reports groundwater in our area has a low susceptibility

to contamination from the surface because thick clay deposits cover the porous glacial remnants and the rock below. Many of Aqua’s wells reach up to 300 feet below ground, tapping water that is filtered by those protective layers. Indiana’s famous limestone does give water drawn from deep underground additional hardness not found in surface water. Aqua recently invested in equipment and processes to soften the water we send to your home. Testing shows it has been very effective in reducing hardness levels, and the water is now just slightly harder than water drawn from rivers and reservoirs. Aqua’s new well is now in rotation with the rest of the 11 wells throughout Aboite Township. Our engineers regularly shift between wells, giving pumps a chance to rest and the aquifer a chance to recharge and accumulate new water supplies. At the peak of the drought of 2012, when temperature soared to record levels, our wells were regularly producing more than six million gallons of water per day. The combined output of our network of wells is calculated at 7.5 million gallons a day — more than two times the normal daily demand. This extra capacity gives us the ability to respond with huge volumes of water to cope with a major fire, and is an important economic development tool. Businesses considering a move to Aboite Township know that water supply is not a reason to look somewhere else. Indiana is blessed to

Change in weather means change in driving As the weather changes, driving conditions are soon to follow. Many of us consider winter to be the most dangerous driving season, but it’s important to be mindful of hazardous road conditions at other times of the year, as well. This fall, we urge you to consider the following safety tips: • Watch out for patches of leaves, which can trap water and create slick surfaces. If you have to stop suddenly, you could find yourself in trouble. • After a long, hot summer, the first couple of frosts can present driving difficulties, as well. Keep in mind that freezing and nearfreezing temperatures can

Car questions answered Q: Can car owners save cash by filling their tires with nitrogen? A: Yes, indeed! After we let you in on this little secret, you’ll want to forget about plain old air! That’s because nitrogenfilled tires can save drivers somewhere in the neighborhood of $125-$135 per year! (Not too shabby, right?) But that’s not all! Nitrogen can improve your entire driving experience. Research shows that it will help you: • improve fuel economy • extend the life of your tires • increase the safety and reliability of your vehicle Want to see something a little more concrete? Head on over to getnitrogen.org and crunch the numbers yourself. cause moisture on bridges and overpasses to freeze. • Rain, fog, sleet and light dustings of snow tend to appear in the fall, as well. Drive slowly, and make sure there is plenty of space between you and the car in front of you. • Daylight Saving Time can interfere with your morning and evening commute, too. This year clocks “fall back” on Nov. 4. • As we move into winter, many drivers in northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio will drive to and from work in the dark. With diminished

visibility, it’s important to slow down. • Finally, make sure your headlights, tail lights and turn signals all are in working order. Same goes for your wiper blades because no one likes dealing with a faulty wiper blade during a cold rain or sleet.

Staff members from Catalyst Marketing Design dig in and clean up two area parks in cooperation with the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation’s adopt-a-playground program.

Catalyst adopts two local playgrounds Advertising agency Catalyst Marketing Design recently adopted two area playgrounds. Catalyst committed to cleaning up the West Central Playlot and Bass Park for a two year period, volunteering their time at least three times a year to help keep the parks looking their best. “(This) was a great experience for us and we are honored to be helping our community by cleaning up our parks,” said Shannon McNett-Silcox, principal and vice president of account services at Catalyst. “It feels great to get involved and we are looking forward to the next clean up day we have.” The adopt-a-playground program, which is offered through Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation, encourages volunteers to clean up the parks early from

spring through late summer. On Friday, Oct. 12, Catalyst’s team worked offsite at the two parks. The responsibilities of adopting-a-playground include litter pick up, raking and sweeping, weeding around the playground and unique tasks for each playground. Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation is looking for volunteers to serve as a catalyst in providing an avenue for citizen involvement that will generate community pride through personal interaction and ownership of Fort Wayne’s playgrounds. By organizing this volunteer effort to cleanup playgrounds on a regular basis, adults help to provide safe and inviting places for our city’s youth. See PLAYGROUNDS, page B14

Circle of Women focuses on dating violence Sixteenth annual event set for Nov. 29 The 16th annual YWCA Circle of Women luncheon will take place Nov. 29 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fort Wayne Marriott. The focus will be on the prevalence of teen and young adult dating violence. At the luncheon, participants will learn which signs to look for, how the YWCA can help and hear from keynote speaker Johanna Orozco, a teen educator for the Domestic Violence and Child Advocacy Center of Greater Cleveland. Orozco has turned her own personal tragedy into triumph. After being in an abusive relationship for two years, she had the courage to leave her abuser â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a decision that almost took her life. Shortly after leaving him, her former boyfriend sexually assaulted her and

later shot her in the face with a sawedoff shotgun. Orozco shares her compelling story with schools, community organizations, parents and concerned citizens to educate them about dating violence. She focuses on self-respect, confidence and what signs to look for in an unhealthy relationship. Orozco has been featured in The Cleveland Plain Dealer and has appeared on â&#x20AC;&#x153;20/20,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oprah Winfrey Showâ&#x20AC;? and on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Viewâ&#x20AC;? with Vice President Joe Biden. On October 2011, Orozco received an award and was recognized as a Champion of Change by President Barack Obama. All are welcome to attend. To register, call 424-4908, ext. 254.

The nurses station on the fourth floor of Lutheran Hospital is shown. The floor recently underwent a renovation.

Lutheranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth floor gets a makeover Lutheran Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive renovation project recently reached another milestone on Oct. 7, when patients were moved to newly remodeled, all private adult patient rooms on the fourth floor. Approximately 50 patients were moved. Some patients were moved from one section of the fourth floor to another, while others were relocated from the third floor medical surgical care units to the fourth floorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical surgical units. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physicians and medical staff believe patients benefit from private rooms because it affords better privacy for clinical care and maintains confidentiality related to the medical discussions that educate patients and their families,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Geoffrey Randolph, chief medical officer, Lutheran Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A private room environment facilitates more focused care and patient satisfaction is improved overall.â&#x20AC;? The updated floor now resembles the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new fifth floor with bright and soothing colors. Carpet has been removed and replaced with tile throughout the floor to ease travel with mobility aides. The redesign is also more compatible with electronic medical record keeping and it improves patient flow by maximizing use of a visual map of the unit offering a realtime snapshot of room and patient status. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each element of Lutheranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-private rooms centers around delivering a restful environment where healing is optimized,â&#x20AC;? said Lisa MacDonald, executive director, neuroscience and med-surg services, Lutheran Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, our new design focuses on noise reduction features, specially-designed bariatric patient rooms, and the addition of much needed storage to house the increasing amount of equipment that is needed to care for patients.â&#x20AC;?

Model train show planned The Maumee Valley Railroad Club, Inc., will sponsor a model railroad show and swap on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Coliseum Bingo, 911 W.

Dozens of tables with model railroad bargains and vendors, at least one model railroad layout, an on-site concession stand and several historical and other organizations will be part of the festivities. The public is welcome to attend. Parking is free. This is the 17th year for the event, put on by the MVRRC, which is comprised of local residents from northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio who are members of the National Model Railroad Association. The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to promote the hobby of model railroading.

Art abounds at Katharos New in the middle of the main block of downtown Roanoke is Katharos Art and Gift Shop, 159 N. Main St. Owners Kathy and Chris Bailey have worked to fix up and improve the building in the hopes of creating an inviting shop full of charm. Filled with different types of artwork from more than 15 artists, Kathy Bailey says she likes to be able to showcase and help display work, especially from artists that haven’t shown before. “I like work from local talent and probably 95 percent of what is in the shop is local northeast Indiana. I also like to find unique and unusual items that I haven’t seen around here and have added some artists from a little further away with hand crafted pieces including metal and ceramic clocks and wire sculptures,” said Kathy Bailey. There are oil, acrylic, watercolor and photography works to hang on walls; there is jewelry and pottery for sale to use; and there also are textiles with quilts, scarves, pillows and aprons; items that are knit, sewn, and pieced. Kathy Bailey makes fused glass pieces, a talent she developed from an interest in creating jewelry from lamp work beads. With the purchase of a kiln, she expanded to art fairs and then galleries in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. Wanting to display her work herself and not have to travel to
