Larger chapel to highlight Luers’ emphasis on faith

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Bishop Luers High School will expand the chapel and move it to the front entrance as part of a $4 million project.

“Anyone who enters Bishop Luers will know exactly what we’re about,” Principal Tiffany Albertson told supporters at a reception to extend the Faith in Our Future appeal to the public.

That initiative already has garnered 141 pledges totaling $2.7 million.

Mary Keefer, a former Luers principal and parent, said Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades urged the school to emphasize the spiritual importance of the chapel as part of the renovation and addition.

“It’s an old renovated classroom with water stains. Bishop Rhoades wants the chapel front

Fresh foods in spotlight at festive farm markets

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Shoppers and growers find something unique about each of the farmer’s markets around Fort Wayne, but most agree that freshness is the No. 1 attraction.

Wendy Flotow of Country Garden and Farm Market in Roanoke sells produce at a Saturday morning downtown market and the Wednesday evening Salomon Farm market on Dupont Road.

Flotow joined vendors at the Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana Market at the northeast corner of Wayne and Barr streets.

Fort Wayne Farmers Market also operates a market on the southeast corner.

“We also sell at the farm,” Flotow said. “You name it, we probably grow it. We have 18 acres and we have 12 acres in production. It benefits the customers because they’re getting local and fresh produce. People know

Branning Park in Arcola revs up for three-day pull

By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com

Tractors, trucks and roaring engines – the Arcola National Truck and Tractor Pull will return to Branning Park this summer. About 3,000 spectators attend the event each year, said Matt Butts, a co-chairman for the event.

Gates open at 5 p.m. each evening, Thursday-Saturday, July 9-11.

The Michindoh pull fills the park Thursday

evening. The National Tractor Pull Association action fills the park Friday and Saturday evening.

Thursday admission is $10 for ages 13 and older, $5 for ages 6-12, and free for ages 5 and under. Friday or Saturday evening admission is $16 for ages 13 and older, $10 for ages 6-12, and free for ages 5 and under.

Weekend passes will be available at the ticket booth Thursday evening.

For spectator rules and

a breakdown of classes, visit arcolapull.org. There are no advance ticket sales.

The pulling classes range from 5,500pound, two-wheel-drive, small-block machines to 9,500-pound tractors competing for the top spot. The most anticipated event of the competition features the mini-rod tractors.

Don’t let the name be misleading, these machines pack quite the punch.

“There are five different classes

competing each night so it depends on what you prefer but one of the most exciting classes for the pulls is with the minirods, which are smaller tractors that have up to 1,400-1,500 horsepower,” Butts said.

The object is to see which machine can pull the metal sled the farthest. Altogether, the competition is a test of the driver’s skill as well as the machine’s condition and ability to pull a heavy amount of weight across a track.

“One of the patients was born in Romania without her right leg and receives orthopedic care every three months at the hospital,” said Paul Barker Jr., of Fort Wayne, the commander of the Great Lakes Shrine Association Legion of Honor.

There are 22 Shrine hospitals in the United States, one in Ontario and another in Mexico City. Regardless of the family’s ability to pay medical bills, the child receives the proper care.

The Legion of Honor is open to Shriners who have served in any branch of the military.

“It’s doesn’t matter if you were a Marine or part of the Army, Air Force or Navy, we’re brothers and we all fought together in wars that the United States has been involved in over the years,” Barker said.

Barker will step down this year as commander and pass the torch after serving his term for three years. The new commander will begin his term and be installed during the 40th annual meeting Aug. 6-8 in Fort Wayne.

Waynedale hasn’t been a town in its own right since it was annexed by Fort Wayne in 1957, but community leaders in that south side business district hope it will soon have its own chamber of commerce.

The first meeting of the Waynedale Business Chamber is set for 2 p.m.

July 9 at the Waynedale branch of the Allen County Public Library at 2200 Lower Huntington Road.

Much of the credit for getting the organizational paperwork done belongs to Alex Cornwell of the Waynedale News, said Beulah Matczak, of American Legion Post 241, who also was involved in getting the organization started.

“Alex really put it together,” said Matczak, who is often referred to as the “honorary mayor” of Waynedale.

One of the catalysts for moving beyond talking about forming a chamber to doing it was the city of Fort Wayne’s facade grant program, said Camille Garrison, the marketing director of Kingston Residence and another one of the organizers.

Meetings were held to inform local businesses about the grant program, and several Waynedale businesses succeeded in receiving funds through the program as a result.

By creating a chamber, organizers hope they can keep Waynedale business owners better informed about such opportunities and give them a bigger voice in petitioning the

One of the goals of the Waynedale Business Chamber would be to reduce clutter by removing telephone poles on Lower Huntington Road and putting lines underground.

city for improvements.

“What we’re trying to do is promote the businesses and, if there is any need, then we have a forum,” said organizer Brad Campbell, of 1st Source Bank.

Waynedale hasn’t had a chamber of commerce

of its own before, “and it’s something that we thought might just be the right time to do.”

The group already has come up with a long list of ideas, including: • Adding corridor identification signs and seasonal decorations to

give Waynedale a new face and identity; • Removing telephone poles on Lower Huntington Road to get rid of the cluttered look they create; • Scheduling a community clean-up day each year that would bring people together and promote pride in their neighborhood; • Developing standards for appropriate business signs; • Putting in “Welcome to Waynedale” signs; • Launching an annual Waynedale tour; • Improving vacant storefronts with student art and do a better job of promoting real estate opportunities; • Creating a seasonal farmers market; • Pushing for lower property taxes for business owners; and • Creating a streetscape corridor plan.

Money already has been donated for banners, similar to those on Wells Street, Matczak noted.

Garrison believes other businesses will help out with financial contributions as well.

“I think that the neighborhood businesses have always been very generous,” she said.

“This is our community and we’ve all got to work together to make it better,” Matczak said.

“It’s the people who make the community, so we’ve got to get the people involved.

The July 9 meeting is open to any business owners, commercial property owners or others interested in attending.

Good news for your neighborhood.

LUERS from Page A1 a whole grade level in the chapel, but we still will have the all-school Mass in the gymnasium,” Albertson said.

She said that focus on the new Chapel of Saint Francis is central to Luers’ strong tradition of Catholic education, and will help students grow in their faith.

“They grow and learn while they are here, and we hope that they leave Bishop Luers as men and women of faith who value service to others,” she said. “We frequently tell our students to see Christ in others and be Christ to others. We want them to do this as they become, as our mission says, the light of the world.”

The performing arts center will be expanded and upgraded by breaking down walls to encompass the existing cafetorium and the grassy area beyond. “Right now, when we have a play take place in here, we can’t have 300 people in here at the same time,” Development Director Kathy Skelly told the audience gathered in that cafetorium.

Other major objectives of the renovation are expanding and modernizing the media center and library, and completing the double-pane windows and other energy-efficiency measures that were begun under the $3.1 million Phase 1 of the renovation.

Jerry and Becky Henry serve as campaign co-chairmen.

Jerry Henry said his wife worked in the Luers’ development office, and each of their children graduated from Luers.

“All of our kids went on to colleges and were very well prepared,” he said. “I credit the foundation here at Luers. And it’s time for us to pay back. This school, this institution has meant a lot to our family, so my wife and I are a tag team in this fundraiser.”

“And I would argue that not only is this transformation and reconstruction

to the school after 50 years important to the school, it’s important to the South Side parishes, it’s important to the South Side merchants, the neighborhoods,” he said.

“The South Side, I think, we get a bad rap now and then. When was the last time someone spent in excess of $4 million in this corridor? And I think we can be proud of that, and we’re glad to spear-

head this campaign, and it’s a sense of duty for my family.”

Albertson could not offer an exact start date for the project. “Before we begin any construction, we have to have 100 percent pledged and 50 percent in hand,” she said. The work might be separated into phases, depending on the pledges.

“The construction is also dependent upon our

This is a 50-year-old lady and we have an awesome maintenance man, but we need those kinds of things that tuition just doesn’t pay for.”

Albertson asked Luers supporters to help by giving if possible and by telling others about the project. “Share, pray, give. There’s more than one way to support the capital program,” she said.

“A campaign happens when people are committed to it, and a campaign happens when people pledge,” Skelly said.

Potential donors may contact Skelly for more information or a tour of the school at 333 E. Paulding Road, Fort Wayne. Email kskelly@ bishopluers.org.

Yard signs are reminder: ‘Kids dart. Drive smart.’

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Lutheran Children’s Hospital is helping to remind motorists to be more alert for pedestrians with the approach of the new school year.

“Kids Dart. Drive Smart” yard signs again are available at local fire stations and in the south lobby of Lutheran Hospital, 7950 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne.

Annette Chard, registered nurse, is the trauma program manager for Lutheran, where she has worked for five years.

“We have people approach us for the signs every year,” Chard said.

“Pretty much every day, I hear that the signs do remind people to slow down.”

Lutheran Health Network public information coordinator Lizette Downey said more children are walking to school because of

changing busing policies. She provided cards with a list of safety tips.

Pedestrians are reminded to cross at street corners, look both ways before crossing the street, make eye contact with drivers, and watch out for cars that are backing up.

Drivers are reminded to avoid distracted driving and intoxicated driving.

Downey said Lutheran also is giving a supply of signs to schools, to distribute as they wish.

Lutheran recently welcomed a visit from Angola Fire depart-

ment public information officer T.R. Hagerty, who picked up about 100 “Kids dart. Drive Smart.” signs to post along Steuben County streets and sidewalks. Hagerty said his department has supported “Kids dart.

Geneva Volunteer Fire Department Captain Bart Booth picked up 75 signs in the Berne area.

He said the department embraces the program every year.

“Kids dart” is a partnership with Riley Hospital for Children

at Indiana University Health.

According to the Lutheran website, pedestrian injury is the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 5 to 14. For more traffic injury statistics and safety tips, visit lutheranchildrenshosp. com.

Repair work lifts camera for closer look at steeple

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Two panels of copper cladding totaling about 4 square feet gleam from the west side of the Trinity English Lutheran Church steeple.

A crane lifted two workers in a man basket 150 feet into the air, to replace panels knocked loose by a storm.

Most of the steeple still boasts the character that it developed over 90 years.

“That part of the building was dedicated in 1925, so it’s been on there for quite some time,” said Brian

Eastman, the director of facilities at the downtown Fort Wayne church.

Wayne Hake and Dan Sample, sheet metal workers for Dahm Brothers Roofing Inc. in Fort Wayne, made the repairs and checked for any other loose elements.

Hake, a 25-year sheet metal veteran, estimated that the replacement panels will stand out from the green of the original copper for about 50 years.

“In a year that will be dark brown, and it won’t be as noticeable,” he said.

Scott Ehler directed the crane for Doc’s

Crane & Rigging, of Roanoke. Ehler again directed the crane to carry Hake and a photographer to 180 feet, from where the steeple and cross stood in silhouette against the sky.

“Everyone’s work and cooperation was very much appreciated, to get that cladding back up on our church,” Eastman said.

Hake said he has ridden the crane to work on five phases of Trinity improvements. “I think it’s a blast,” he said of his aerial assignments.

Trinity was founded in 1846 as northeast Indiana’s first English-

Auto show to benefit town beautification projects

By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com

Vintage, classic and one-of-a-kind — the annual Rolling into Roanoke car show will bring in car enthusiasts, roaring engines and local flavors.

The Rolling into Roanoke classic car show will be going on in downtown Roanoke on July 25. The event will be held from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. that Saturday, complete with vintage cars, food vendors, live entertainment and a farmers market. Admission is free. The boutiques downtown will also be open to shoppers attending the event.

Proceeds benefit the Roanoke Beautification Foundation program that improves and maintains the streets, parks and public meeting areas throughout

downtown Roanoke. This year, the funds will be used to install street lamps in the downtown district as well as contribute to an endowment fund used to preserve the historic town area.

“We’ll be using the funds to help maintain and sustain

Some of the funds will also go to support the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum and Natmus Museum, both in Auburn, in efforts to preserve the historical automotive history, Fischer said.

Returning for its second year, the auto show will pay tribute to the late Randy Williams, a native of Roanoke and local Pontiac collector who passed away from a brain tumor.

“He had a real passion and love for Pontiacs,” Fischer said. “His collection of cars has been nationally recognized

for being extremely rare, limited productions of Pontiac SD Trans Ams and factory race cars from the early ’60s.”

The Association for Christians in Student Development awarded Jesse Brown, associate dean of student development and director of the Horizon Leadership Program, the Jane Higa Competency Advancement Award for his dedication in promoting multiculturalism at Huntington University and in ACSD. Brown received the honor at ACSD’s annual conference at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.

“On campus, I am one of many voices to keep the conversation about diversity and multiculturalism on the table,” Brown said. “The university makes many

decisions and has many conversations about our philosophy and practice. I, and others, hope to keep a diverse perspective when these conversations take place and practices are implemented. The university has made great strides to diversify our campus ethos. I have enjoyed being part of this collaboration.”

“Specifically on campus, I enjoy having gracious and enlightening conversations about race and ethnicity,” Brown said. “Some of our students have little exposure to people unlike themselves before entering HU. Once here, they are exposed to many different cultures and ethnicities. Moreover, the campus community makes a great backdrop for encounters to occur,

either in the residence halls, dining hall, classroom or athletic field. There are many opportunities for students to interact with one another and learn from one another. Within the Horizon program, I enjoy selecting and working with the Horizon students and mentoring them through their HU experiences.”

Brown has been with the university since the fall of 1999. After graduating from Valley Forge Christian College with a bachelor’s degree in Bible and from Eastern College with a master’s degree in counseling, Brown began working at Huntington University as the resident director of Meadows and Miller halls and coordinator of Student Activities.

Farm program to address agricultural developments

By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com

New Haven takes a day to recognize the hardworking men and women who feed America.

The New Haven Chamber of Commerce will host an Ag Appreciation Day to show reverence to farmers for their dedication to the craft.

The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Aug. 5 at Jefferson Township Park in New Haven.

Speakers and guests will educate attendees on changing trends within the field of agriculture such as tax laws.

“We’re having a speaker come to explain how farmers are able to move property on to the next generation without

suffering huge taxes and things of that nature,” said Charlie Hatten, president of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce.

More than 500 area farmers are expected to attend the event.

The day will also be used to encourage the up-and-coming generation to get involved in the agriculture industry.

“There’s a real issue

right now with family farms and kids choosing to opt out of the agriculture business,” Hatten said.

The chamber is attempting to preserve the farmers’ way of life by encouraging Future Farmers of America members to consider agriculture as a career.

“The primary reason we do Ag Appreciation day is to support the FFA

students from Woodland and Heritage,” said Hatten.

“We also do it to support the agriculture related businesses that serve the farmers in northeast Indiana.”

The day will start off with a pancake breakfast with offerings going toward FFA projects and programs.

Guest speakers, exhibits and demonstrations will

follow the breakfast.

“We’re hoping to have a repeat this year of a really cool, special demonstration of drones that are used to monitor crops and take pictures of the fields with high-resolution cameras,” Hatten said.

This allows for farmers to better manage and facilitate crops by spotting wetlands and chemical imbalances.

Music in Park plans second concert July 29

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

A second ensemble of Snider High School musicians will perform at the second Music in the Park, from 7-9 p.m.

Wednesday, July 29. The brass ensemble will entertain from the gazebo of St. Joe Township Park, 6033 Maplecrest Road.

Snider band director Kevin Klee will direct the young musicians at the second concert. Klee brought a Snider jazz ensemble to the opening concert, on June 17.

“They have a beautiful gazebo out there, and it kind of harkens back to the old-time concert in the park,” said Klee, a veteran of 34 years as Snider’s band director.

Despite the rain, fans took shelter beneath unbrellas to enjoy the music.

Music fans hoist umbrellas to enjoy Music in the Park at St. Joe Township Community Park.

Township Trustee Sarah Gnagy created the program, and said she hopes to offer even more music under the stars next year.

The evening also features a car cruise-in. “We will have a whole bunch of street rods, customs, Corvettes, Thunderbirds.

While people are listening to the music they can see these classic cars,” Gnagy said of the second concert.

Firetrucks again will be on hand to call attention to the fundraiser for the fire

department.

Hot dogs, popcorn and drinks will be available from St. Joseph Township Fire Rescue.

The concert will be presented rain or shine.

The audience should bring lawn chairs.

Smoking, alcohol and pets are prohibited.

“I wanted to do something different,” Gnagy said of the concerts. “The park is beautiful, and I just wanted to utilize the park for the community because it’s a community park.”

What do you get for 18 years of hard work?

Four more.

The Salomon market is all organic, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That market is smaller than this market â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 20 vendors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really nice market for people who are exclusively organic.â&#x20AC;?

Dana Merle and her husband, Mark, and daughter, Sarah, toured the YLNI Market on a recent Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This market keeps growing and growing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we like to come down on Saturdays and get fresh produce and see all the regular vendors. You can get fresh ďŹ&#x201A;owers.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great little farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market.â&#x20AC;?

Fort Wayne Farmers Market operates a summer market each Saturday morning at the southeast corner of Wayne and Barr streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t competing markets, we just offer our vendors year-round fees since we run the original indoor market at Parkview Field,â&#x20AC;? said Leigh Rowan, market coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a producer-only market and the only farmers market that inspects the farms to try and ensure that none of the food is coming from auctions.â&#x20AC;?

Doreen Conarty of The Rustic Farm in Roanoke said she also takes produce to two markets. She brought vegetables and her artisan bread to the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst Wednesday

evening market at Schnelker Park in New Haven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was here last year and I really enjoyed the venue,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wednesday harvest is really important for me.

If I sell just on Saturdays, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have things ripening on the vine or in the ďŹ eld that need to be harvested on Wednesday and hopefully sold on Wednesday.

I still have enough time Thursday and Friday to harvest enough foods for Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still have my cold weather vegetables, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a hoop house. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a greenhouse. So I have to make do with what nature gives me. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold weather crops. I have

radishes, baby romaine, green onions, turnips, sugar snap peas, dill, mint and a salad mix.â&#x20AC;?

Nearby, other farmers were transitioning into summer crops. Some markets also allow growers to supplement their offerings with produce from out of state or from within a speciďŹ c radius. So South Carolina peaches might share a table with Midwest greenhouse tomatoes and Fort Wayne greens.

Vendors also bring fresh eggs or frozen meats in keeping with the marketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; varying guidelines.

And quite often there is also food. A steady line of customers waited at Suzana da Silvaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stand at

The New Haven market was ďŹ lled with the scene of Andyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Knockout Chicken.

Visitors might sample coffee, or admire jewelry, or stock up on honey, pies and bread, locally made soap, candles, lotions or barbecue sauce and rubs.

Open air music also enriches the atmosphere.

Gene Donnelly brought his acoustic rock to a recent downtown market. Local artists perform from the porch of Biggby Coffee during Thursday evening markets at Georgetown Square.

What Happens To My IRA After Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Gone?

Contributing to an IRA can help you build some of the resources you will need to enjoy a comfortable retirement.

But what happens to your IRA if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it up in your lifetime?

You can still put the IRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets to good use â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the right moves and communicated your wishes clearly to your family.

When you opened your IRA, you should have named a beneďŹ ciary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; someone who will receive the IRA assets when you pass away. You could also name a contingent beneďŹ ciary if the ďŹ rst beneďŹ ciary dies before you.

These beneďŹ ciary designations are important because they can supersede the instructions left

in your will.

If you name your spouse as beneďŹ ciary of your IRA, he or she has options unavailable to other beneďŹ ciaries. Here are two possibilities: â&#x20AC;˘ Roll over assets into a new or an existing IRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Your surviving spouse can roll over your IRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets into his or her IRA or use the money to create a new IRA. And, as long as your spouse is eligible, he or she can then add new contributions to the IRA. This could be a good choice if your spouse wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the money right away and would like to keep it in a tax-advantaged account for as long as possible. Upon reaching age 70½, though, your spouse will likely need to start taking withdrawals (â&#x20AC;&#x153;required

minimum distributionsâ&#x20AC;?), unless the inherited IRA was a Roth IRA. â&#x20AC;˘ Convert the assets to a Roth IRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you are leaving a traditional IRA to your spouse, he or she could roll over the assets into a new or an existing IRA and then convert the assets into a Roth IRA. This move gives your spouse at least two potential advantages.

First, if certain requirements are met, no taxes are due on the withdrawals. Second, as mentioned above, no withdrawals are even required â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your spouse can leave the money intact for as long as desired. However, taxes will be due on the amount converted to a Roth, so this conversion may only make sense if your spouse has enough assets available in a nonretirement account to pay

the tax bill.

Thus far, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just talked about your spouse as the beneďŹ ciary. But what might happen if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve named someone else â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps a child or grandchild â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as the primary beneďŹ ciary of your IRA? In this case, the beneďŹ ciary wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the option of rolling over the IRA. Instead, he or she can either take the money as a lump sum or take distributions over time. If you pass away before age 70½, and you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started taking the required minimum distributions, your beneďŹ ciary must start taking withdrawals by Dec. 31 in the year following the year in which you pass away. These withdrawals can be stretched out over your beneďŹ ciaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

lifetime, though, spreading out the tax obligations. As an alternative, your beneďŹ ciary can delay taking distributions, but he or she would need to withdraw all the money within ďŹ ve years of your death.

When dealing with any aspect of your estate plans, including naming beneďŹ ciaries for your IRA, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to consult with your tax and legal professionals. You put a lot of time and effort into building the assets in your IRA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also want to take care in how you pass these assets along.

When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals.

The parade will be held that same morning following the 5k.

Funds raised during the event go toward maintaining the parks.

“It’s actually the only fundraiser that we do to help maintain the park,” said Sally Lake, the vice president of the Harlan Community Association.

“Each year, the funds are used to take care of the buildings and grounds.

“This year our theme is ‘Celebrate Freedom’ and we’re going to get local veterans to ride on a float for the parade. We’d like to get as many veterans as possible and they’ll be our grand marshals and honorary citizens for the day.”

Dust off the cowboy boots and hat for the most anticipated event of the festival — the Harlan Days Rodeo show. The King Brothers rodeo show will include bull riding and barrel racing starting at 7 p.m. Friday night.

Local crafters are encouraged to set up a booth and showcase their work in the craft tent.

“The crafts are all made by local artisans who come in and sell their work,” said Lake.

Tickets will be sold for a raffle with the grand prize being a 2016 Chevy Spark.

26th Allen County Fair packs week full of fun

By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com

The annual Allen County Fair is expected to be bigger and better than ever this summer.

The weeklong fair will return July 28 for its 26th year.

Complete with 4-H competitions, food vendors, rides, live music and truck pulls, each day is packed full of activity.

“It’s a really unique experience because you have all of the 4-H animals and exhibits as well as a full carnival and activities for all family members,” said Michelle Love, pageant director for the fair and secretary for the Allen County Fairgrounds board. “We really try to tailor the event as something that is open to people of all ages.”

Spanish class writes, donates kids’ books

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Children’s story books were in use almost immediately after Homestead High School Spanish students presented the books to Lutheran Children’s Hospital.

About 20 seniors presented the books just days before graduation.

Spanish instructor Justin Peeper said students wrote children’s stories in Spanish. New stories were added to the first edition of the book, which was distributed in 2013.

“So far we have been able to pass them out to four families where Spanish is their primary language, so it gives the parents a chance to read stories to their kids in their language, and they feel more comfortable, more at home,” said Tammy Else, the certified child life specialist at Lutheran Children’s Hospital. “And it was amazing that when they

delivered them we had three teenagers who were studying Spanish, so all of them wanted a copy and enjoyed it.

“That offered a little bit of normalization, having something that was created by their peers, and being able to relate to that.

“They donated two copies that were laminated, and we have them in the playroom available for the kids. And they donated another 20 copies that we would pass out to kids and give away.

“So it was neat to have them come in and deliver it to them, too, because they would see that it was a peer who wrote it and delivered it. So it was very inspiring for them.”

Peeper, the chairman of Homestead’s Department of World and Classical Languages, said Lutheran funded printing of 102 copies of the book. “We will donate the remaining See BOOKS, Page B10

The Three Rivers Festival Parade steps off at 9:45 a.m. Saturday, July 11. The festival started in 1975 and attracts an estimated half-million visitors each year.

Three Rivers Festival keeps pace with change

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Executive Director Jack Hammer said the Three Rivers Festival will thrive by embracing both change and tradition. The 47th annual festival will be July 10-18.

“We’ve brought back some things from the past,” Hammer said, “but we’ve retooled it so that we can address what would be a successful

event today, vs. 25 years ago.

“The festival over the years has tried to be responsive to the community, and what is in popular culture at the time. We continue to do that and to include new parts of our community.

The International Village was around 20 years ago, but it was basically a place for people to sell food. We’re bringing it back as a mini-festival, where 10 groups repre-

sent many groups that live in Fort Wayne. They do offer food, but they also offer handmade foods, and there’s always entertainment.”

The festival has revived the raft races, and has brought back the bed race. “They have become some of the favorites. Those are the heritage events that people look forward to each year,” he said.

DeafLink responds to call for video phones

By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com

When DeafLink became a division of The League for the Blind & Disabled in 2006, its mission was to give the deaf and hard of hearing community throughout northeast Indiana a voice and a seat at the community table.

Its advocacy work over the last nine years has not only increased awareness about the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, but also has led to multiple changes to benefit the community.

One such change deals with something many people take for granted — a phone call.

This year, DeafLink spearheaded a project to install video phones throughout the area to make phone communication more accessible and affordable for the deaf community. While The League offices have had the technology for some

time, as of this spring, the Allen County Public Library and Fort Wayne International Airport do, too.

“We’re looking to make Fort Wayne more of an accessible city for people who are deaf and hard of hearing who need access to phone communication,” said DeafLink Director Garth Sponseller.

Much like FaceTime or Skype, the video phone functions based on the same visual concept.

Video relay services, set up across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, use qualified sign language interpreters who are set up in call stations to interpret a conversation between a deaf person and a hearing person in order to carry on a fluid conversation.

The video phones are open to the public to make necessary daily phone calls such as making medical appoint-

It’s all about accessibility, said Sponseller,

kids, my brothers and I would make important phone calls for my parents like to the bank for instance,” Sponseller said. “So, if you can imagine, as children we had to facilitate these conversations that required a lot of knowledge base and language mastery, which is too much responsibility for a child.”

Before video phones, the teletypewriter was being used for communication purposes but, with American Sign Language being their first language, most deaf or hard-of-hearing people have difficulty communicating effectively with the equipment.

“The struggle to communicate in English with ASL as your first language is comparable to asking a Spanish speaking individual to start communicating in English fluently,” Sponseller said.

Enter the video phone, which has revolutionized the industry and allows for better communication, which in turn encourages systemic change.

Such change throughout the community is promising for the future of the deaf community, said Sponseller.

“It’s exciting,” Sponseller said. “For myself, growing up within a deaf family I can personally see and know what things that we lacked access to growing up.”

The work isn’t done.

Sponseller said the hope now is for more businesses to implement services for those with disabilities to see equal opportunity more fully realized.

Pride festival organizers plan for 13,000

By Mariah Martz mmartz@kpcmedia.com

Fort Wayne Pride festival will celebrate another year of acceptance, awareness and education.

The Fort Wayne Pride festival will take place July 24–25 at Headwaters Park downtown.

Roughly 13,000 people are expected to attend the event, said Nikki Fultz, director of the Pride organization of Fort Wayne.

The Fort Wayne Pride celebration began in 1997 with an estimated 100 people in attendance, according to the organization’s website.

Last year, 10,000 locals joined in the festivities. The celebration continues to gain trac-

tion and brings in larger crowds annually.

The festival will include food vendors, entertainment, beer tents, kid-friendly activities and much more. The

at 9:30 p.m. that day on the main stage. The show attracts thousands of spectators.

The festival continues to grow in Fort Wayne as acceptance continues to spread throughout the area, Fultz said.

“Not only internationally but locally we are gaining more acceptance within the community which has led to an increase in attendees, especially in the last five years,” said Fultz.

The lesbian, gay,

bisexual and transgender community benefits greatly from the festival by raising awareness and educating the public on LGBT issues, she said.

“Anytime you can be seen as a human is a great opportunity for people within the community to realize we aren’t a threat and we are, you know, human beings,” Fultz said.

“Visibility helps with the younger generation as well who may feel alone or isolated to come and

feel accepted amongst others.”

The organization continues to reach out for support within the community with events going on throughout the year. The events include: • July 19 - Pride Family Picnic, Lawton Park; • July 22 - Pride Comedy Night, Snickerz Comedy Club; and • July 28 - Pride Night at TinCaps, Parkview Field.

Pride march will begin at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in front of Headwaters Park and weave through downtown. The most anticipated event of the festival is the drag show

Express delivery: Mom hits gym, births child, makes cookout

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

As Nicky Schwanz arrived at a Memorial Day cookout, her friends were shocked to see her walking and carrying her son who she had welcomed into the world a few hours earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were more than surprised,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had seen me earlier in the day, working out with a pregnant belly.â&#x20AC;?

The elapsed time was about six hours.

Schwanz, a labor and delivery nurse at Parkview Regional North, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting to give birth at her Georgetown area home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happened so quick,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything just happened. And everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK.â&#x20AC;?

She began feeling her ďŹ rst contractions

while working out in the morning.

Schwanz and her husband, Corey, participated in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Murphâ&#x20AC;? workout at CrossFit Praus that day.

The ďŹ ve-part workout is named for Navy Lt. Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue on Long Island in New York, who was killed June 28, 2005, in Afghanistan. The workout was one of Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorites. Fitness enthusiasts around the country complete the workout each Memorial Day in honor of those who have served in the military. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere near sacriďŹ ce enough, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty brutal workout for athletes to honor the sacriďŹ ce that he (Murph) made,â&#x20AC;? said Amanda Burge, who owns the gym with her husband, Shane.

Nicky Schwanz works out on Memorial Day at CrossFit Praus, where she continued a modiďŹ ed ďŹ tness program during her pregnancy.

Schwanz gave birth that day, and brought her baby to a gym cookout that afternoon.

At the gym on Merchant Road in Fort

Wayne, Corey and other Praus members began the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Murphâ&#x20AC;? with a mile run, followed by 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 squats and another mile run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes most people 45 minutes or an hour or maybe more,â&#x20AC;? Burge said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a heavy workout, but what we call a body weight workout.

But it does cause some fatigue and require some endurance.â&#x20AC;?

But Nicky was 41 weeks pregnant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has been very smart, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with her to modify the way she lifts and moves and to make sure the weights were appropriate,â&#x20AC;? Burge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Monday, she did half the reps that other people did and then instead of a mile run before and after, she walked an 800-meter run.â&#x20AC;?

Not long after completing the workout, Nicky was back at home realizing the birth was imminent. And then Brandon arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very quick and in the moment was very overwhelming, but in hindsight Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy,â&#x20AC;? Nicky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gone better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think being a delivery nurse probably made me a little more comfortable with the situation. But it was instinct, too.â&#x20AC;?

The couple remembered the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Murphâ&#x20AC;? workout and the man for whom the workout is named. The new babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is Brandon James Murphy Schwanz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt that it was appropriate,â&#x20AC;? Nicky said.

A doctor came to the house to examine the mother and child.

Brandon has an older brother, Cody, age 2, who was with his grandmother during the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were lucky in that way,â&#x20AC;? Nicky said.

Nicky began working out at Praus about three months after Cody was born. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really just wanted to get healthy,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Besides a workout, she found friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a big family there,â&#x20AC;? she said.

And so Nicky and Corey and Cody and Brandon joined that CrossFit Praus family at the cookout Memorial Day afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all kind of been waiting for it,â&#x20AC;? Burge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has done an incredible job staying healthy and staying active throughout the entire pregnancy.â&#x20AC;?

Happy Celebrate your th Familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legacy of July!

BOOKS from Page B1 copies to others in and around Fort Wayne where Hispanic children might be,” Peeper said in an email.

In 2013, 65 Spanish V students published the first version of the book, with 21 bedtime stories.

This year, 50 seniors wrote 17 more bedtime stories.

“We started writing the book in early May and finished it a week before the school year ended,” Peeper said June 4.

Else also recorded the students reading the stories.

“The idea came about several years ago,” Peeper said. “I was part of a group of Southwest Allen County School teachers that attended a three-day training on Project Based Learning.

Part of PBL is that you teach significant content through a project that

is produced for a ‘real’ audience. The seniors again this spring learned grammar topics they’ll see on their college placement tests this summer through this project, and our ‘real’ audience was the children at the hospital. Our goal was to write, publish

and distribute a bilingual children’s book to hospitalized children at Lutheran to facilitate the healing process. The idea also came about after my cousin and his wife lost their infant son to spinal muscular atrophy in 2011. Each time I visited them in the hospital at

Lutheran, I wondered if there were any Spanish books for the kids in the children’s hospital. That experience, with the PBL training, prompted the books.

“This year’s Spanish V seniors deserve all the credit for creating the book. They used critical

thinking and creativity to come up with stories that taught a message or moral and they collaborated in groups of two or three to

write and edit the books.

We’re all very proud of them for their efforts to make a child’s day a little brighter.”

PACE from Page B1 Fort Wayne has celebrated the Three Rivers Festival since 1975.

Hammer recently marked his fifth anniversary at the job, and will be overseeing his sixth festival.

Emily Maggart has been enjoying the festival for almost a decade, but this is her first year on the festival staff. The IPFW graduate signed on as volunteer coordinator in March.

Maggart said she did not realize the size of the festival before she moved to Fort Wayne nine years ago from the Lake Wawasee area.

“But once I moved here I attended the parade as a spectator and I thought, ‘Hey, this is really cool.’ ” In 2014, she was part of the parade, representing Sharon’s Victorian House of Gifts.

She remembers “dressing up, waving, seeing the amount of people who actually come out to the parade.”

In 2015, she is working with volunteers for the parade and for every other aspect of the festival.

“It ranges from people who sell tickets to people bar tending, cleaning up trash, to helping backstage,” she said.

Volunteers help with parking, or as photographers, or in information
