Derby closing directing career with ‘Annie’ By Rod King For Times Community Publications

For Matt Derby, New Haven High School math, physics and chemistry teacher and drama director for the past 30 years, producing “Annie” has been a bittersweet experience. The musical, which runs March 18, 19 and 20 in the school’s auditeria, will be his last production. Though he thoroughly enjoys doing the fall play and the spring musical (he minored in theater at Eastern Michigan University), Derby said it’s time to step aside. “This is actually the best part of the year for me,” he said. “It gives me the opportunity to work closely with the kids in a more relaxed, comfortable atmosphere away from the teacher/student relationship of the classroom. I relish the chance to be more right-brained and use my creativity. For the students, being

I might, however, try my hand on stage somewhere along the line if the opportunity presents itself.” Being director, producer, business manager, set designer and builder and sound

Parkview Field upgrades protect and entertain By Rod King For Times Community Publications

When baseball fans return to Parkview Field, they might overlook the subtle upgrades that have been made over the winter. The TinCaps face the Lake County Captains in the home opener, April 9. For openers, a 20-foothigh protective safety net

has been added the length of each dugout to protect fans from sizzling foul balls. The nets will not inhibit the fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; view of the action, nor will they eliminate opportunities to snag pop fouls that might be lobbed over the screens. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Minor League Baseball President

and CEO Pat Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Conner had endorsed the screens as a safety measure. Cost of the installation â&#x20AC;Ś $22.500. Peace of mind â&#x20AC;Ś priceless. On their way to their seats, fans will tread a completely resurfaced concourse. According to John Nolan, broadcast and media relations manager, it had not been upgraded since the stadium opened

seven years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to continue to be proactive where the fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety is involved. Though the concourse was not visibly deteriorating,â&#x20AC;? said Nolan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it has seen a lot of wear and tear considering the stadium hosted 623 events in addition to the Tin Caps games. That includes concerts, charity run/walk events, business and service club meetings in our conference center and the fact that it is open daily for exercise walking.â&#x20AC;? One thing that fans will notice is the structure on top of the 400 Club in center ďŹ eld. The new Summit Presented by Tuthill will accommodate groups of 25 to 125 for a unique game view and an unobstructed look at the Fort Wayne skyline. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only baseball ďŹ eld in the country with such a facility that gives fans an elevated batterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-eye-view of the action. The TinCaps have invested $600,000 in the new restaurant/bar/patio. and Tuthill (local pump manufacturer) purchased the naming rights. Seats have been installed on the patio for watching games and there will be high chairs and tables to enjoy food catered by various Fort Wayne restaurants.

This season the park will feature 20 fun theme nights ranging from a high school spirit night in May, a birthday party to celebrate Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200th year, a Star Wars night, a summer Olympics evening, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight Showâ&#x20AC;? event, a pirates night and a Halloween night.

Chamber series to close with ‘Baroque Favorites’ Fort Wayne Philharmonic musicians will step to front and center as soloists in Baroque favorites at the fourth and ﬁnal installment of its Chamber Orchestra Series at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 2, at the First Wayne Street United Methodist Church, 300 E. Wayne St., Fort Wayne. Tickets for “Baroque Favorites” are $20 and available for purchase at fwphil.org. Purchases can also be made in person at The Phil Box Ofﬁce, 4901 Fuller Drive, or by phone at (260) 481-0777. Tickets are also available one hour prior to the concert at the venue. Full program and series information is available at fwphil.org. “The Baroque period is one of the most diverse in music history,” the

Phil explained in a statement, “and with a concert full of famous works, audiences will experience the well ordered, ornate, and emotive qualities of some of the greatest music ever written, all in one place and at the same time.” Two movements from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major and the Suite No. 2 in B minor for Orchestra feature Philharmonic principal ﬂutist Luke Fitzpatrick. George Frideric Handel’s “Entrance of the Queen of Sheiba,” from his oratorio “Solomon,” Johann Pachelbel’s iconic Canon in D major, and Henry Purcell’s Chacony in G minor, all among the most revered works in the Baroque repertory, the Phil said.

Chia-Hsuan Lin will conduct Fort Wayne Philharmonic musicians in an April 2 Chamber Orchestra Series program.

Other selections include Tomaso Albinoni’s Adagio in G minor for Organ and Strings, Georg Philipp Telemann’s Overture in D major, and Joseph Bodin de Boismortier’s Concerto in D major, featuring principal bassoonist Dennis Fick.

“One of the definitions of the word Baroque is ‘a unique shape of a pearl,’ ” conductor Chia-Hsuan Lin said. “The program the Phil musicians and I are going to perform is definitely a collection of lovely Baroque musical pearls.” A centerpiece of the evening, Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, was composed for an aristocrat who didn’t care enough to listen to the work or even pay for it. Written for the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721 as a kind of musical job application, the manuscript lay ignored in the court library until it was rediscovered and published in 1850. This concert will feature the stately first and whirlwind final movements of the concerto.

NFL veteran to address EACS educational beneﬁt Former Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday will offer the keynote address at the East Allen County Educational Foundation annual dinner and auction fundraiser.

July 3. “We’ve been fundraising for this tour for two years, and the students have been fundraising like crazy for this trip, and to date students have raised $13,000,” Busarow said. The youth will visit composers’ birthplaces, the Hungarian parliament building, and “The Sound of Music” filming locations. This will mark the 13th international tour in the FWCC’s 43-year history. Busarow shared those observations in comments to parents and supporters at a Feb. 22 concert at IPFW’s Rhinehart Recital Hall, where the Concert Choir presented the program they would repeat Feb. 25 at the American Choral Directors Association conference in Chicago. Busarow said the ACDA invitation represents a special honor for the choir. “Gospel choirs, community choirs, children’s choirs like ours. You name it, they’re there,” he said. “So how did we get there? We went through a very rigorous audition process. We sent them three years of recordings and in those three years the FWCC rose to the top, which is an excellent thing for our organization,” he said. Officials who reviewed the tapes were judging blind, without knowing which choirs submitted the tapes. “It’s our first time going. It’s the first time anyone from the Fort Wayne area has gone. And, other than Indianapolis, we’re the only other choir from the state that has gone,” he said. Five members of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra participated in the preview concert at IPFW, and accompanied 40 members of the concert choir and FWCC staff members on the Chicago trip. The program included many styles of music. Busarow thanked IPFW, Sweetwater Sound and Three Rivers Federal Credit Union for their support of the Chicago trip.

Embassy tribute concert, film series tickets ready The Embassy Theatre will pay homage to its Grande Page pipe organ with several events in June, sponsored by Hylant. The annual Buddy Nolan tribute concert will be at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 5, at the Embassy, 125 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne. Tickets are $8 adults and $3 for children 12 and under. Nolan played many concerts at the Embassy and was instrumental in helping to save the Embassy from demolition. A nationally-known organist, Nathan Avakian, will be at the console this year with a show that the Embassy said will satisfy contemporary music lovers and give tribute to the historical legacy of the theater organ. The Embassy’s Blackand-White Film Series for 2016 will feature the 1928 version of “Steamboat Bill Jr.,” starring Buster Keaton and featuring Embassy house organist Cletus Goens on the Grande Page. The film begins at 7 p.m. Monday, June 13. At 7 p.m. Monday, June 20, the love story “Sunrise” from 1927 will be on the big screen with Clark Wilson returning to the Embassy to play the Grande Page. The Embassy’s final selection for the season is the Cecil B. DeMille classic “The Ten Commandments” from 1923, at 7 p.m. Monday, June 27. This movie will feature Fort Wayne

native Mark Herman on the Grande Page. Herman got his start playing at the Embassy and now plays more than 30 concerts a year around the world.

The day continues with more than 16 different hands-on activities throughout the Embassy. Behind the Screen is presented by Hylant and PNC Bank. Tickets are $6 for this event, which the Embassy suggests is suited for day camps, groups and summer camps. Tickets for all of these performances went on sale Feb. 26 through ticketmaster.com, charge-by-phone at (800) 745-3000 and at the Embassy box ofﬁce.

Symphonic Fusion plans year-end performances The New Haven High School Symphonic Fusion women’s show choir is taking a break after weeks of competition. Director Adam Moyer said choir members are focusing their energy on the school musical for the moment. Moyer reorganized the show choir this school year. The choir had not performed in several years. The choir competed at the festivals at DeKalb, Homestead and Huntington North high schools. Taking the stage at the Homestead Classic Showcase were Maryann Beck, Kaelen Cannon, Ashley Chalfant, Jocelyn Chilcote, Alivia Doctor, Oliva Doreff, Lexi Garn, Elizabeth Gerig, Meredith Lancaster, Claire Moon, Maegan Morrolf, Amy Rowland, Michelle Same and Kayli Wolfe. Moyer also is planning a concert at the high school in April or May. “I am also looking at

Memoirs replace speech as honoree shares credit By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Don Steininger set aside the script and let his memories frame his comments. The Fort Wayne businessman accepted the 2016 Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly Leadership Award before addressing the Feb. 18 audience at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. “I crafted a wonderful speech. It was great, I was really proud of it. Unfortunately I couldn’t get through it,” he said. Steininger is a 1961 graduate of Auburn High School. He and his wife,

Kathy, will celebrate their 50th anniversary this spring. He is known for developing dozens of commercial projects, including the Chapel Ridge shopping center on Maysville Road. He is known for his philanthropy, including the Steiningers’ $1 million donation to to build an ofﬁce and community center for Fort Wayne’s community foundation. He told his audience, too, of less successful business ventures, including restaurants and a citrus farm. He shunned the label of philanthropist. “I think we all are philanthropists to a certain degree,” he said. “Maybe

it’s easier to share if you start with nothing.” “I was raised in Auburn and I will tell you, I can’t think of a better place to grow up,” he said. He urged everyone to write their memoirs. “I think you do it for yourself. You don’t do it for anybody else,” he said. Then he quoted from his memoirs, listing his first bicycle, first job and first investment the year of his 10th birthday. Over birthdays that followed, he followed a half-dozen vocations from groundskeeper to attorney. He owned 70-some automobiles. He and Kathy built and remodeled 17

homes. He was introduced after four people told how Steininger had influenced them over the years. Steininger said he, too, was grateful for many influences. “About 15 years ago I did something that I would encourage all of you to consider doing, and that is that I made a list of the 10 most influential people in my life,” he said. “I sat down and wrote each one of them a handwritten letter telling them how important they had been and thanking them for what they had been in my life. Not only did I enjoy writing them,
