Dozens of volunteers work behind the scenes to support the Homestead band. Parents help at every step, from raising money to hauling equipment on show days.

“We have about 25 active pit dads that are here on a nightly basis, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays,” said group leader Chris Brown. “We’re working on props, doing miscellaneous things, helping fix instruments, tire pressure, logistics of things, and just taking care of the day-to-day basics of keeping the band running so the directors can do what they do and teach

Haverhill teacher Russell in final 3 for state honor Haverhill Elementary School literacy specialist Jean Russell has advanced to the Top Three for Indiana Teacher of the Year. The Department of Education made the announcement with a visit to the school Sept. 21.

“In Jean we see a real joy for teaching and a love of learning and a desire to lift our profession higher,” said judge and past winner Molly Seward. She and two other judges representing the Department of Education, all past Teachers of the Year themselves, spent the morning observing and evaluating Russell interact with students and teachers.

Russell will meet with Glenda Ritz, Indiana’s superintendent of public instruction, and the winner will be announced this month.

The winner will go on to represent Indiana in the National Teacher of the Year competition. Russell “I am just so honored,” Russell said. “It’s a bit surreal, and the only way you can even be comfortable with it is just knowing you are representing such amazing educators in the state.”

Earlier, in a statement at the time of her selection to the Top 10, Russell said, “My philosophy of being an instructional coach begins and ends with having the heart of a servant. This has created opportunities for me to help both students and teachers learn more about themselves as learners, stretch themselves to learn more than

they ever thought they could, and cheer them on to continue momentum.”

Russell provides ongoing professional development to the Haverhill staff in the areas of reading and writing. She also designs training and models in classrooms and provides resources for teachers throughout the district.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled for Mrs. Russell,” Principal Jeanine Kleber said.

“She’s very deserving of the recognition of being in the Top Three for Teacher of the Year.

She has a heart of a servant and a passion for teaching.”

Russell, who has been teaching for 25 years, has spent the last 21 with Southwest Allen County Schools.

Holly Days at Deer Ridge books vendors, food truck The Deer Ridge Elementary School Parent Teacher Club will present the Holly Days Craft Show from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 17. This is the 26th year for the PTC’s fundraiser at the school at 1515 Scott Road, Fort Wayne.

More than 200 vendors again are expected to offer handcrafted and homemade products. The popular bake sale and silent auction also return.

The Big Eyed Fish food truck will have food for sale. New this year, the

Mocha Lounge coffee truck will be on site.

Craft show director Kim Martinez said the craft show is the group’s major source of revenue.

She said the money frees parents from a multitude of smaller fundraisers, such as selling magazines, wrapping paper or candy bars. The PTC holds a student coloring contest each April, and the winner’s art is used in the craft show brochure.

The PTC awards each teacher a $300 stipend for their classroom each

school year. “We pay for a literary aide, any supplies, and any electronics that the principal requests,” Martinez said.

The PTC also awards the annual $1,000 Gina McClatchey Scholarship to a graduating high school senior who attended Deer Ridge.”

“It just takes many hands to put this show on,” Martinez said. “It’s for the public. Our vendors come back year after year, and it also benefits our school. So it’s a win-win for everybody involved.”

Southwest teacher raises OK’d based on higher state funding The Southwest Allen County Schools board voted Sept. 15 to approve a new, one-year teacher contract.

In a statement, SACS said the contract gives returning teachers their first significant pay raise in several years.

The statement said the raise is possible because of a change in the way funding is calculated at the state level.

“Teachers have

worked with the district to maintain our high academic success, even though the past state-funding formula penalized Southwest,” said Chris Broni, the president of the Southwest Allen County Teachers Association and a fourth-grade teacher at Covington Elementary School.

“We are pleased the state funding now recognizes the value of the work of our teachers.”

More than 80 percent of teachers who attended the union ratification vote supported the new contract, which goes into effect for the 2015-2016 school year.

A teacher making the district mean salary of $51,000 saw increases averaging 1.5 percent over the last three years.

Under the new contract, the average returning teacher will see a

one-time 6.1 percent bump.

“We are so proud of how hard our teachers work for children,” SACS Superintendent Philip G. Downs said.

“We are especially happy to be able to give this increase because our teachers have gone several years without seeing a significant raise. We are very grateful the state legislature has begun to address the funding gap between what schools get and what schools need to properly educate students. SACS is just now getting back to 2008 funding levels.”

Under the new contract, teachers are eligible to earn up to six performance-based units, valued at $582 each, that can be added to a teacher’s base salary.

Units are earned as follows: four units for

being rated “highly effective” or “effective” in teacher evaluations, one unit for experience that requires a minimum of 120 paid days during the previous year, and one unit for education that includes holding a master’s degree or completing a three-credit hour graduate course.

Teachers can also receive a one-time stipend for a 97 percent attendance record. All raises are dependent on the teachers being rated “effective” or “highly effective.”

Teachers serving in extracurricular roles will also receive raises.

Coaches, music directors and club sponsors will see stipend increases averaging 12.1 percent under the new contract.

This is the first increase for these positions in nearly a decade.

Seton health fair offers Tests to award up to 10 Canterbury scholarships exams, awareness

About 220 Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School students visited a “Student Focus on Health” health fair. Fifth- through eighth-graders visited about 20 stations that were set up at the Aboite Center Road school.

Students were able to get their blood pressure taken, and have their vision and flexibility checked. A Parkview Hospital Trauma Center representative had students try to walk a straight line while wearing goggles that impaired their vision and judgment. The goggles mimicked what it would be like to be an impaired driver who had been drinking and driving.

Stations offered information about the serious health consequences of smoking, and other stations presented making good food and beverage choices. The American Red Cross had a representative who talked to the students about emergency response, first aid, and staying calm in an emergency. The St. Joseph’s Burn Center, the only verified burn center in the state of Indiana, talked with the students about fire safety. A Parkview nurse talked about asthma.

“This is an awesome opportunity for our young people to gather information on how to have healthy minds and bodies, as well as taking responsibility for their health,” said Principal Lois Widner.

“We are also exposing our students to various careers in health education. This is a hands-on approach to very important information for our students.”

The purpose of “Student Focus on Health” is to encourage students to take an active role in their good

trained for the health fair.

by Midwest Alliance for Health Education, PHP, Wells Fargo, Parkview Health, ABC-21 Alive, and iAB Financial Bank.

Freshman Brady Getrost wipes a windshield at a Homestead band car wash at Gordon Food Service, one of two new locations this year.

Seniors David Lovvorn and Rylie Read wash cars at Wendy’s on Liberty Mills Road.

The car wash is the Homestead band’s No. 2 fundraiser, behind serving chicken and dumplings at the Johnny Appleseed Festival.

PARENTS from Page A1 co-chairs of the recent car wash. This effort expanded to four sites this year, and students washed 452 cars. “To actually pull off the car wash at four locations simultaneously takes a little bit of preparation up front,” Aaron said. “It’s a total band involvement. From a chairperson perspective, that’s why Jackie and I are doing this.”

Again this year, the Pizza Hut on Coventry Lane was the busiest car wash site. Students also washed cars across Jefferson Boulevard, at Wendy’s. New sites this year were the Burger King at Scott and Illinois roads, and Gordon Food Service on Illinois Road. Murray said the Burger King site took in the most donations. “We were pleased with the results out of each site,” he said.

“Students sign up to work three shifts at four sites,” Murray said. “We have four site managers — usually couples — and five or six shift supervisors there for each site, so a large number of parent volunteers.

“The car wash is the band’s second-largest fundraiser every season.

It’s the only fundraiser that the band participates in that the students get to be very active participants.”

The band’s top fundraiser is the Johnny Appleseed Festival, where Homestead workers prepare and serve chicken and dumplings.

Show days require a

special effort. “With a band this size, there’s a lot to do,” Brown said.

“We have a semi-trailer, a 24-foot and a 22-foot trailer, and this year we actually have to get another trailer because we have so many props that are too big. So we’re rolling four deep when we go anywhere.”

“When you see the hard work that the kids put in and all the practice that they do, it makes it a lot easier to also volunteer your time and let them know that we support them as well,” Alicea said. “I moved here from New Jersey six years ago.

I’ve met some of my best friends through the pit crew.

“It’s more than just a working crew. We’ve all become friends with each other, and our wives have become friends, so it’s a nice way to socially engage with friends.”

“Most of the dads that show up here on a day-to-day basis have kids in the band, but we have dads that are volunteering to help our fall festival just because they know we need help,” Brown said. “We have dads that haven’t had kids in the band for 10 and 15 years that show up here still. We have dads that show up at 2 o’clock in the morning, just knowing that we’re coming in at that time, to help unload.”

Artists to create works in fall air at Renaissance

By Alice Eshelman For Aboite & About

On Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Roanoke’s charming Main Street creates a picturesque venue for the town’s annual outdoor art show called Renaissance in Roanoke.

Started in 2008 by local artists and business owners to highlight the renovated beauty of the downtown, it offers a charming setting for art and entertainment that the whole family can enjoy.

Renaissance in Roanoke features over 40 juried local and regional artists who will be on hand to display and sell their original art, with live demonstrations by some of the artists. The categories of art represented include: photography, metalworking, fabric/fiber, jewelry, ceramics, woodworking, oils and mixed media.

As part of this art show, there is a special college contest of art submitted by art students from: Huntington University, Indiana Tech, IPFW, Ivy Tech, Manchester University and the University of Saint Francis, the winner receiving a $1,000 scholarship from Renaissance in Roanoke. The exhibit this year is located in Fine Consigns, at 184 N. Main St., and will be up on display through the end of the month.

Roanoke Elementary School students in Grades 3, 4 and 5 have a competition as well while they learn about different aspects of art. The third-graders learn about cubism, the

fourth-graders about Monet, and the fifthgraders experience plein air and watercolors.

Their work is on display in Zent Commons on the corner of Main and First streets.

A highlight of the day is the plein air competition, which actually begins a day earlier, on Friday. Cash prizes are awarded. Artists set up their easels around town and capture a scene in Roanoke on canvas.

Visitors can watch the images take shape.

Judged by Charles Shepard, director of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, it is great fun to see the results of this competition. The plein air event is displayed and sponsored by Crestwoods Frame Shop and Gallery at 314 N. Main St. Their gallery will be open with an exhibit by 28 art faculty members of IPFW until Nov. 7 and the artist reception is Oct. 10 from 4-6 p.m.

Anyone who would like to participate in the plein air event may contact Ann@CrestwoodsGallery.com.

This is an invitational and juried show which offers the unique opportunity for the public to support the arts and to interact and buy directly from the artist.

In addition, there will be children’s art activities, live music featuring Joe Justice, a Fall Farmers Market and food trucks, as well as the local artist galleries and studios and the town’s array of charming restaurants and shops.

More information is on the Art Council website at RenaissanceinRoanoke.org.

Two Joseph Decuis inns on weekend house tour Joseph Decuis’ two B&B’s are highlighted on the Tri Kappa House Tour on Sunday, Oct. 4, from 1-6 p.m. The $6 advance tickets are on sale in Roanoke at Joseph Decuis Emporium and Moose & Mollie’s. Tickets may be purchased the day of the tour at any of the House Walk locations for $8 per person.

The tour also includes

the recently renovated historic Purviance House B&B in downtown Huntington and two beautiful private homes in Huntington County. Maps will be available at each home location.

Newly restored, the Joseph Decuis Farmstead Inn is located at 6754 E. 900 South, Columbia City, just a mile and a half from Allen County’s

West County Line Road.

The property consists of a majestic brick farm house built in 1884 by Oliver Smith and two outbuildings which have been converted to a small animal barn and a carriage house with additional bedrooms and a meeting room. This home has been well loved over the years with the original moldings, hand-painted

transoms and doors. The restoration was done with an effort to preserve the historic qualities of the antique home while making it comfortable and inviting for guests who stay there. Many of the furnishings are of the period, collected from various auctions and local second-hand shops including Rescued Relics, Paper Moon and Fine

Consigns in Roanoke. The wallpaper was carefully selected to reflect the period, from Connolly’s Do-It-Best Hardware on Illinois Road, Fort Wayne.

The Inn at Joseph Decuis is located in downtown Roanoke at 496 N. Main St., at the corner of Fifth Street.

This home was built in 1912 by Augustus Wasmuth, one of the most influential members of the community at that time, and was restored and opened in 2004 as a bed & breakfast. It is rumored to have been a Sears Four Square house.

Wasmuth also owned the local hardware store and

lumber mill, where he was able to cull from the finest wood available. Five years later he helped start and build the impressive bank building where Joseph Decuis restaurant is now located. One of the prized possessions in the home is the Victorian settee, a velvet couch that arrived in Roanoke on a canal boat in the 1850s.

Tri Kappa is a statewide philanthropic organization and each chapter sponsors special projects for community charities and statewide projects. This year’s House Walk is sponsored by the Huntington County chapter of Tri Kappa.

Special music to accompany Trinity Episcopal celebration Trinity Episcopal Church, 611 W. Berry St., Fort Wayne, will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the laying of its cornerstone at 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 4. Church music director Wayne H. Peterson has composed special service music for the occasion.

Portions of the lyrics to the work have been penned by parishioner Larry Griffin, associate librarian emeritus of the Helmke Library at IPFW. According to John Beatty, historian for the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana and a member of Trinity, the church was designed by

Toledo, Ohio, architect Charles Crosby Miller.

Few of Miller’s buildings remain standing.

“The cornerstone laying actually took place in May 1865, a few weeks after President Lincoln’s assassination,” said Beatty. “The building was completed in September 1866 but not formally consecrated until 1868, so that the new organ could be in place.

“Ours was one of the finest edifices he ever designed,” said Beatty. “It was made with split-faced sandstone with Indiana limestone trim in a Gothic Revival style that some call ‘French Gothic.’ The stones

square tower with the octagonal spire and the great window. Originally there were two rose, or round windows, on either side of the building toward the south end, but one was removed to accommodate organ pipes.

“Though there have been quite a few changes, much of the church looks close to the way it did in 1866,” Beatty said.

The Episcopal Church was first organized in Fort Wayne in 1839 and the three Episcopal congregations — Trinity, Grace and St. Alban’s — celebrated this anniversary in 2014 at a joint celebration.

Trinity Episcopal is the third oldest church in downtown Fort Wayne.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and St. John’s Lutheran are older. However, both of those have been substantially changed, Beatty said.

The Rev. Cory Randall, Trinity Episcopal’s rector emeritus, had the church put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, making Trinity one of the first Fort Wayne churches to be so honored.

Voter registration due Oct. 5 for city election

Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry raises a glass of City Utilities water to toast the expansion of service to Sycamore Hills, which was the first city neighborhood to petition for the change from Aqua Indiana to City Utilities.

City Utilities water flows to all city neighborhoods City Utilities said the conversion of southwest Fort Wayne from Aqua Indiana to city water hit two milestones in September.

City water began flowing to Sycamore Hills, the neighborhood

that first started a petition to have city water supply.

The city said southwest customers hit a milestone of saving more than $1 million collectively on their water bills.

More than 40 neighborhoods joined in the

petition for city water.

The sale was completed and the conversion began nine months ago.

As he has with each phase of the water transition, Mayor Tom Henry See WATER, Page B7

Southwest Fort Wayne voters face choices for five offices in the municipal election. Monday, Oct. 5, is the deadline to register for the Nov. 3 election.

Democratic Mayor Tom Henry faces a challenge from Republican District 4 Councilman Mitch Harper.

In the May primary, Henry received more than 75 percent of the vote to win the nomination to a third term. Harper received almost 84 percent of his party’s vote.

Republican Jason Arp and Democrat Rusty York are running for that southwest District 4 council seat.

Arp won a three-way race for his party’s nomination.

York, a former police chief and public safety director, was unopposed.

Six candidates are seeking the three City Council At-Large seats.

They are Republicans Michael Barranda, incumbent John Crawford and Thomas Freistroffer,

Democrats Terry Anderson, Mike Avila and Michelle Chambers, and Libertarian Tabitha Dyck.

In the race for city clerk, candidates are Republican Lana R. Keesling and Democrat Angie (Barile) Davis. Incumbent Sandra E. Kennedy did not seek re-election.

Five other district council seats also are up for election.

In District 1 on the city’s east side, Paul Ensley defeated incumbent Thomas E. Smith and another candidate for the Republican nomination. Mike Conley represents the Democratic ticket.

In District 2 in northeast Fort Wayne, Republican incumbent Russ Jehl faces Democrat Michelle L. Merritt.

In District 3 in northwest Fort Wayne, incumbent Republican Thomas F. Didier is unopposed.

In District 5 in south central Fort Wayne, incum-

bent Republican Geoff Paddock is unopposed.

In District 6 in southeast Fort Wayne, Republican Joe Renner faces Democratic incumbent Glynn A. Hines.

For a precise map of council districts, visit cityoffortwayne.org.

Elsewhere in Allen County, municipal elections are planned in Grabilll and Woodburn.

On Nov. 3, polls will be open from 6 a.m.-6 p.m.

Oct. 5 at the voter registration office’s close of business is the deadline for a voter to register or transfer registration. Voters have until midnight to complete and submit voter registration applications online. Visit allencounty.us/voter-registration.

Absentee voting begins Oct. 6. Voters have until noon Nov. 2 to cast an absentee ballot at the office of the county clerk.

4th Trail Blazer Oct. 18; about 1,000 to run, walk Organizers have set a goal of 1,000 runners for the fourth annual Trail Blazer 5K/10K, which begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18, at Summit Middle School, 4509 Homestead Road, Fort Wayne.

The event raises money to connect more trails.

“Events like the Trail Blazer are a critical part of expanding the trails,” said Lori Rose, Fort Wayne Trails’ executive director.

“As we work with the City of Fort Wayne and Allen County to extend our region’s trails throughout our community, it takes an army of supporters to continue the progress. We are so grateful to all the Trail Blazer volunteers and participants who raise funds every year to keep the trails moving forward, so that thousands more people can safely travel to arts and cultural destinations, schools, retail areas, downtown, and neighboring communities in the future. The more funds we raise, the more trails we can build and connect in every quadrant.”

Currently, 85 miles have been constructed. With successful fundraising over the next five years, Fort Wayne Trails Inc.

The first 900 Trail Blazer participants will receive an Under Armour racing shirt and goody bag. Prizes will be given to top place finishers in each age group. Teams are also being accepted this year and will receive even more perks. A Kids’ 1 Mile Fun Run will take place on the Summit Middle School track and will be supervised by Fort Wayne Trails volunteers.

Details and registration informatin can be found at fwtrails.org. This year’s

title sponsor is Lutheran Hospital.

Participation in special events such as the Trail Blazer 5K/10K and individual donations have helped to build the trail system to over 85 miles, connecting neighborhoods to schools, parks and other destinations. There are still gaps in the system, and several upcoming projects are scheduled to be completed by the City of Fort Wayne, Allen County and Fort Wayne Trails in and near the Trail Blazer race route. These all have the funding in place, and are in some stage of planning or construction.

Temple invites community to corned beef and a visit

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

A Congregation Achduth Vesholom event is intended to raise awareness while raising money for the Fort Wayne temple.

The 14th annual Corned Beef on Rye ‌ Sure to Satisfy Fundraiser will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, at Temple CAV, 5200 Old Mill Road. “It’s the primary fundraiser for the temple,â€? fundraiser co-chairman Kris Gray said. “It helps support a lot of activities, primarily for the temple. But there are some events that are open to the public that the temple presents free of charge.â€? Those events include speakers and other programs. “But the main thing is we’d like the community

to come not only to raise money for us, but to let the community know that the Jewish community is still active and vibrant in Fort Wayne, and this is one opportunity to sit down and have some corned beef and get to know us,� Gray said.

Each meal costs $15, and includes a one-thirdpound corned beef deli sandwich, cole slaw, dill pickle, brownie and drink. Find an order form at templecav.org. Meals can be packed up for carry-out, or guests can sit down in a small cafeteria style area and share in the company during their meals. Walk-ins will be welcomed. “We’ll have plenty of corned beef and we’ll have some bulk items,�

Gray said.

Melissa Kessel, Bonnie Pomerantz and Larry

Adelman also serve on the fundraiser committee. “We’ve got a ton of people. We probably end up with a hundred or so volunteers coming in to the temple do do various things — mailings, preparation of sponsorships. The night before the event is when we actually do most of the laying out and parceling out of the product,â€? Gray said. Volunteers also cut the brownies on the eve of the luncheon. “I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a restructuring and re-identiďŹ cation of the campus,â€?

Gray said. The temple and grounds now are known as Rifkin Campus at 5200. “Not only are we a temple congregation, but the building is also home to the refurbished Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne. We

The campus transition takes a major step forward in October, with groundbreaking for the new $1.07 million Madge Rothschild Resource Center and dedication of the Rifkin Campus at 5200 sign. The 3,150-squarefoot Rothschild Center is scheduled to open in the fall of 2016. It will include the Rabbi Richard B. Safran Library and the Jacob L. Goldman Memorial Museum. Plans call for an 1,100-square-foot inner courtyard with a proposed sculpture garden visible from the Resource Center.

The Wild Zoo Halloween presented

by Star Financial Bank is a fundraiser for the zoo, which is a nonprofit organization receiving

no tax funding for operations.

New for 2015, the Wild Zoo Halloween path is rerouted to pass through the Indonesian Rain Forest, where guests can see Asmara the baby Sumatran orangutan before the zoo closes for the winter.

Asmara was born Nov. 22, 2014. Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered in the wild.

In support of orangutan conservation, all treats at the Wild Zoo Halloween are palm-oil free or are manufactured by companies that are members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The sustainable production of palm oil is considered crucial to the survival of orangutans, because their rain forest habitat is often destroyed to create poorly managed and unsustainable palm oil plantations.

WATER from Page B1 joined residents with a water toast.

In a statement, City Utilities said Henry’s commitment to enhancing water services for southwest Fort Wayne began in 2008 shortly after he took office and successfully completed the transition of northern Aqua Indiana customers to City Utilities. Henry also met with the neighborhood’s leaders about their concerns during the 2012 drought and moved forward with a request to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to encourage the State of Indiana to take a closer look at residents’ concerns about water quality and pressure.

With the Sycamore Hills transition, all of the neighborhoods within Fort Wayne city limits are now receiving City Utilities water.

More than 70 percent of the former Aqua Southwest customers are city residents.

Since taking ownership of the southwestern service area more than 9,000 customers have been transferred over

by City Utilities. The remaining neighborhoods, all the way to the Whitley County line, will be transferred in October.

All of the 12,500 customers of the former Aqua service area began receiving City Utilities lower pricing on Dec. 3, 2014, even as the various transition phases continued. The savings for the average City household previously

served by Aqua Indiana is more than $120 per year.

“Mayor Henry’s leadership has been impressive throughout this difficult and lengthy acquisition process. He was committed, not only to bring good tasting water to all Fort Wayne residents, but better pressure to assist firefighting operations. That’s a promise he made to residents and it’s a promise he kept,” said Kumar Menon, director of City Utilities.

“By working together, we’ve made a tremendous improvement to water services in southwest Fort Wayne,” Henry said. “Providing high quality and affordable water is another example of why we’re experiencing positive momentum and excitement in our community.

We’re a leader in meeting the needs of residents, neighborhoods and businesses as we invest in the future and move Fort Wayne forward in the right direction.”

Huntertown Park to hold Family Fun Day Oct. 24

By Ryan Schwab rschwab@kpcmedia.com

Soon after news broke of the cancellation of the Huntertown Heritage Days Festival for 2015, board members of the Huntertown Family Park began more serious discussions about a grand opening celebration for the park, located just off the corner of Woods Road and Old Lima Road in downtown Huntertown.

Officially, the first Family Fun Day will take place on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We are gearing up for a big day. We are going to have a lot of things to

do,” Dan Holmes, Friends of Huntertown Parks Inc. president, said. “When Heritage Days called us and told us they were canceling out, they asked us if we would like to do something. We had already had something planned.”

The festival committee wanted the park board to sponsor something similar to the festival, Holmes said.

“We knew we couldn’t do a 2-3-day thing because we didn’t have enough time.

We decided on a one-day grand opening,” he said.

While all the details aren’t cemented yet, numerous activities have been planned and posted on

the park’s website — huntertownfamilypark.com.

Planned events include historical tours of Huntertown on horse-drawn carriages, face painting, sidewalk chalk drawing and balloon animals among other children’s activities, a yoga demonstration, a pumpkin toss, a corn-hole tournament, a visit from Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehab, a vintage car drive-in, and displays from the Huntertown Fire Department. The park board will provide details on future park plans.

Additionally, the Miss Huntertown Pageant will kick off the festivities at

10 a.m. Any girls between the ages of 5-19 who live in the Northwest Allen County Schools district are invited to enter. Registration information, entry forms and sponsorship information can be picked up at Classic Cuts Salon at 14427 Lima Road in the Huntertown Strip Mall or contact pageant director Kara Fralick by phone at (260) 760-2290 or through email at bembleyemily@ yahoo.com.

The park committee has set up an event page on Facebook which provides updates. As of Monday afternoon, over 450 people indicated through Face-

book that they would be attending the event.

“The word is just now starting to get out,” Holmes said. “If there are 400-some, do they come with a husband or wife or kids?”

Holmes said that parking for the event is available at Riverside Manufacturing and Precision Laser Services, located adjacent to the park on Old Lima Road. A shuttle service will be available to transport guests back and forth and an officer will be on site to help walkers across the street, Holmes said.

Food and craft vendors will also be on site. For information on getting a booth for the event, email info@huntertownfamilypark.com.

Holmes also said the committee is working on a photo booth for families to have pictures taken with a fall theme.

“Somebody could come there and stay the whole day if they wanted to.

Activities will be ongoing all day,” Holmes said. “We hope people will come for more than just walking through and leaving.”

Phase one of the park project is complete and includes trails through the woods, a 1.5-mile walking path, a dog park, a small playground, horseshoe pits, a ga ga pit, two pavilions, picnic areas with gas grills and an amphitheater and stage which doubles on the back as a sledding hill.

Future plans for the Huntertown Family Park include restrooms, softball diamond, sand volleyball court, splash pad, ice skating rink/basketball court, veterans memorial and a Historic Society building.

Volunteers are still being sought for the various park committees, which include: construction, fundraising, event planning, groundskeeping/ maintenance, grant writing, planning/development and website design.

This summer, the park was awarded a $25,000 grant through State Farm Insurance. Additionally, the Huntertown Town Council donates all proceeds of its recycling reimbursement agreement with Republic Services to be used for the town park.

Saint Francis to present ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ The University of Saint Francis School of Creative Arts will present the rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar,” during the fall semester as part of the university’s 125th anniversary celebration.

With lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the musical features the central character of Jesus as a social and political rebel. Critics have said the show “illuminates the transcendent power of the human spirit with a passion that goes straight to the heart.” Brad Beauchamp will direct.

Performances will be presented Friday through Sunday, Nov. 6-8 and 13-15, at the USF Robert Goldstine Performing Arts Center, 431 W. Berry St.,

Fort Wayne.

Show times are: • Friday, Nov. 6, 8 p.m.

• Saturday, Nov. 7, 8 p.m.

• Sunday, Nov. 8, 2 p.m.

• Friday, Nov. 13, 8 p.m.

• Saturday, Nov. 14, 8 p.m.

• Sunday, Nov. 15, 2 p.m.

Doors will open 30 minutes before the show for general seating.

Tickets are available through ArtsTix Community Box Office at (260) 422-4226 or online anytime at tickets.artstix. org. Ticket prices are $18 for adults and $15 for seniors 65 years or older and children under 18.

Students watch as the rockets that they built are launched at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School.

Seton Starbase students build, launch rockets Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School middle school students are meeting after school this fall to learn Science, Technology, Engineering, Math concepts through the Starbase 2.0 program, a school program from the 122nd Fighter Wing Indiana Air National Guard.

On Sept. 15, students met to build and launch bottle rockets with components they were given. The Starbase 2.0 program simulates a rocket building effort to land a rocket on Mars.

The students are placed in groups and they play different team roles.

Students deal with a budget for rocket components as they attempt

to build and launch their rockets. Later, the students will build and launch straw rockets and do an egg drop to simulate making a safe landing on Mars.

The 24 students in Grades 6 to 8 had to apply to the program.

Starbase 2.0 Coordinator for middle schools Susan Callaway directs the students. There are several adult mentors, including Col. David Augustine, a school parent and former commander with the 122nd Fighter Wing Indiana Air National Guard. Middle school teacher Jodi Jump moderates the program. The students will graduate from the Starbase 2.0 program on Nov. 17.

Financial Focus Avoid Emotional Investment Decisions

What’s the biggest obstacle to your ability to invest successfully? Is it the ups and downs of the financial markets? Political events? The fact that you weren’t born rich? Actually, the chief hurdle you face is something over which you have control: your own emotions.

Your emotions can lead to a variety of ill-advised investment behaviors, such as these: • Cutting losses – Declines in the financial markets can lead some investors to try to “cut their losses” by selling investments whose price has declined. Yet, when prices have dropped, it may actually be a good time to buy investments, not sell them, especially when

the investments are still fundamentally sound.

• Chasing performance – In the investment world, the flip side of “fear” is “greed.”

Just as some investors are propelled by fear of loss, others are motivated by quick, big gains. They may pursue “hot” investments, only to be disappointed when the sizzle quickly fizzles.

Instead of trying to “score” that one big winner, you may be better off spreading your investment dollars among a range of vehicles – stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs) and so on. While diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it may help reduce the impact of market volatility on your portfolio.

• Focusing on the short

term – When the market is down, you might get somewhat upset when you view your monthly investment statements. But any individual statement is just a snapshot in time; if you were to chart your investment results over a period of 10, 15 or 20 years, you’d see the true picture of how your portfolio is doing – and, in all likelihood, that picture would look better than a statement or two you received during a down market. In any case, don’t overreact to short-term downturns by making hasty “buy” or “sell” decisions.

Instead, stick with a long-term strategy that’s appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

• Heading to the investment “sidelines” – Some people get so frustrated over market

volatility that they throw up their hands and head to the investment “sidelines” until “things calm down.” And it’s certainly true that, when owning stocks, there are no guarantees; you do risk losing some, or all, of your investment. But if you jump in and out of the market to “escape“ volatility, you may take on an even bigger risk – the risk of losing some of the growth you’ll need to reach your goals. Consider this: If you had invested $10,000 in a package of stocks mimicking the S&P 500 in December 1979, your investment would have grown to more than $426,000 by December 2013. But if you had missed just the 10 best days of the market during that time, your $10,000 would only have grown to less than

$206,000 – a difference of about $220,000, according to Ned Davis Research, a leading investment research organization. The bottom line?

Staying invested over the long term can pay off. (Keep in mind, though, that the S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and isn’t meant to depict an actual investment. Also, as you’ve no doubt heard, past performance is not a guarantee of future results.)

Our emotions are useful in guiding us through many aspects of our lives, but when you invest, you’re better off using your head – and not your heart.

Rachel’s Challenge fosters kindness, respect

Buddy Bench

COURTESY PHOTO

The Deer Ridge Parent Teacher Council donated a Buddy Bench to the K-5 school. “The Buddy Bench is a place for students to go when they don’t have anyone with whom to play,” Principal Jennifer Sprague said. “Other students are encouraged to be ‘upstanders’ and watch for friends sitting on the bench and invite them to play.” The Buddy Bench is also a place for students to go when they are having a conflict and need to work it out together.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School held two assemblies that kicked off the Rachel’s Challenge program, promoting kindness, compassion and respect.

The morning assembly was for kindergarten through fifth grade, and the afternoon assembly was for sixth through eighth grades.

The nonprofit Rachel’s Challenge promotes ideas from the writings of Rachel Scott, the first student to be killed at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., on April 20, 1999. Twelve students and one teacher were killed by two student shooters that day.

Rachel’s Challenge promotes ideas found

in Rachel journals and essays, including looking for the best in others, choosing positive influences, dreaming big and setting goals, doing small acts of kindness and starting a chain reaction of kindness.

Rachel wrote in a school essay: “I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, that it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go.”

“Rachel’s Challenge is a tremendous program that promotes a positive way for middle school students to work with each other,” said Principal Lois Widner. “It gives them the tools they

need to resolve issues, show respect, and start a chain reaction.”

Seton students will be signing a Rachel’s Challenge banner. They will participate in Rachel’s Challenge activities during their weekly House sessions. Students can also join Rachel’s Club, which does community service.

Widner and school counselor Tara Walulik presented a power point about Rachel’s Challenge to the students.

They asked students what it means to choose positive influences, and how they would go about starting a chain reaction of kindness.

Rachel’s Challenge continues all through the school year.

Glimpse nature the way Danielle Rosas sees it in this exhibit of canvas print photography. Inspired by Ansel Adams to appreciate the ďŹ ne detail of natural life, Rosas has always been intrigued by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;simpleâ&#x20AC;? things in life.

She loves to capture raw moments that seem meek at ďŹ rst glance but reveal more layers of thought as you look deeper. Occasionally she may alter the lens or angle to give a sense of abstraction to her work. Rosas prints on canvas for the depth and texture it gives the subject. The Conservatoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bi-monthly art exhibits are open to view in the meeting room during public hours. Visit botanicalconservatory.org for links to artists.
