Memories soar aboard Honor Flight

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia�com

Honor Flight Northeast Indiana’s Flight No. 19 carried 83 veterans to the nation’s capital April 27. Ben Clay, of Fort Wayne, was not among those honored. Instead, Clay helped to honor 50 World War II veterans and 33 who returned from the Korean War. Clay made his ninth trip as an Honor Flight volunteer. He still regrets that he could not wear the uniform. “I tried to get in the Marines right out of high school and got rejected because of medical problems,” Clay said. “I have a son and a grandson, both in the Marines. I respect these veterans. They went through an awful lot. I can’t imagine kids today, 17 and 18, going off to fight like they did. They came back and never mentioned a word.” Like others who have

not been to war, Clay’s impressions come in part from documentary films. The veterans help him to match faces and names with those impressions. Some veterans will talk

about the war. Some will not. “They keep pretty quiet,” Clay said. “You don’t want to pry. If they want to talk, they’ll talk. And some get pretty emotional.”

“I knew one that was a survivor of the [USS] Indianapolis,” he said, referring to the July 1945 torpedo attack that claimed 879 lives. “He was married seven or

eight years before his wife found out that he was a survivor of the Indianapolis. They just came home and went back to work, and that was it.” The memorials and honors are long overdue, Clay said. “They made the country safe and they

didn’t get any credit,” he said. “They just went back to their farms, went back to their businesses, like nothing happened.” Some shared their stories. Like the 83 veterans, no two stories See HONOR, Page A5

former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, of Kansas. Dole shared that he had been wounded – for the second time – just days before Leburg’s brother was killed. The one-time presidential nominee visited the World War II Memorial to welcome the Honor Flight. The group’s leaders said it is typical of Dole, who was the driving force in funding the memorial. Dole continues to push for another memorial to World War II Gen. and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. “Words cannot express,” Leburg said of his audience with Dole. “He went through H in World War II and served his country.” Jim Leburg fought and died with the 1st Infantry, “the Big Red One,” in Europe. “When he went to the service on the train in Fowler, that was the last – he never got a leave or anything,” Leburg said. “He left in ’42. He was buried over there in Belgium. Mom and Dad had the opportunity either to go over to his grave or bring him home, and they chose to bring him home.” Bob Bish of Ligonier was 10 hours into Honor Flight 19 when he toured

the Air Force Memorial, overlooking the Pentagon. It was a good trip, said Bish, a veteran of the Navy during the Korean War. “Part of it I did expect to see, but a lot of it I didn’t expect to see, and wow, it just blows your mind,” he said. Bish had served aboard the aircraft carrier the USS Valley Forge. “We got close enough to shore to do some shore bombardment with the ship’s 5-inch guns, then they backed off and we served the air support quite a bit,” he said. Back in Ligonier after the war, he made his career as a truck driver. During his Honor Flight visit to the capital, he said he was amazed to see the memorials and other sights that are taken for granted.

nier. “They knew me better as Doc. I’ve been the country doctor up there for 55 years,” he said. He retired three years ago. He returned with a new perspective. “I was a lot more mature. I had seen a lot of the world and I had quite a bit of insight of what’s happening elsewhere instead of a little, bitty area in Indiana,” he said. He served as a signalman in the Quartermaster Corps. He shared one lesson from the war: “That people need to be able to get along without using guns. That was a politician’s war. Nobody won, everybody lost.” “The one good thing that came out of this whole mess as far as I personally was concerned was that they still had the G.I. Bill and I was able to go through medical school because of it and not come out with a huge debt,” he said. Roberta Stone said her father set a good example for her, by leading and serving others in the Navy and then as a doctor. Walt Scare, formerly of Avilla, served in Korea before returning to Noble County, where he retired as a truck mechanic in 1992 after 40 years.

brother,” Treadway said. “A brother,” Dave nodded. Jim Ross of Fort Wayne had no war stories to tell. He served his country during the Korean War and until 1959, but got as far as Canada. “I was stationed at the Soo, guarding the locks at that time,” the Army veteran said. “So I spent time up in Canada at a gun site, never got to Korea.” But Ross, too, saw tears and shed tears during Honor Flight. When he arrived at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, his granddaughter rushed to hug him. Ross cried, as did Air Force Captain Stephynie Velez, stationed at Andrews Air Force Base. Dirk Ross of Hicksville, Ohio, bridged the generations. Jybo “Bill” Leburg of Fowler was away from home but in familiar company as he traveled from Fort Wayne. His son, Fort Wayne pharmacist Dave Leburg, served as his guardian aboard the Honor Flight. The day had special significance to the elder Leburg. “My brother was killed 71 years ago today,” he said. His audience was

were alike. Eugene Esposito did not make the flight from Fort Wayne, but was represented nonetheless. Esposito, who served with the U.S. Army in Korea, died in October at age 85. HFNEI board member Tom Meyers, of Roanoke, carried a U.S. flag and a summary of Esposito’s service to the capital. He placed both above the “INDIANA” chiseled into the stone of the World War II memorial. It’s called Flags of Our Fathers, Meyers said. He carried a handful of flag sticks that would be placed in the soil of the monuments and returned to Fort Wayne. “We’ll take a flag of any one of the deceased vets who didn’t get to make the trip,” Meyers said. “We bring them to D.C. His being a Korean vet, I’m going to take it to the Korean Memorial after lunch, and he’ll be traveling with us all day.” Upon return to Fort Wayne International Airport, Meyers would present a flag to Esposito’s daughter, Karen Cappadona of Fort Wayne. Esposito’s wife, Gloria, still lives in Fort Wayne. She has the commemorative Honor Flight T-shirt that Esposito would have worn on the trip. “She has a little shrine,” Meyers said. Dave and Lindy Lybarger found some good news to help offset the solemn scenes. They are cousins, but had never met. Actually, their fathers were second cousins. Still, the family was close enough that each was aware of the other. Dave Lybarger worked at Magnavox. He served in the Army in Korea. Janet Treadway of Fort Wayne served as his guardian on the trip. Lindy grew up in Hoagland, where his father was a banker. He served in the Navy, from 1946-48. He found his banking career in North Manchester. Cindy Ogden, of Auburn, served as guardian to her father. The cousins met April 21, at a luncheon to introduce Honor Flight veterans and guardians. “I knew he existed and I’d ask about him when I would go to funerals and weddings, but our paths never crossed,” Dave said. “We don’t live that far apart,” Dave said. “He lives in North Manchester, which is straight west of Fort Wayne a few miles, and I live on Illinois Road. We will meet for lunch or dinner or something sometime soon, and we will exchange pictures and reminisce about this day.” “Now you have a

He said the Korean War was like others in one sense. “It would be better if it hadn’t happened. It was something that too many people died for nothing,” he said. Dr. Robert Stone of Avilla was prepared to see a different Washington, D.C. Stone served in the Navy during the Korean War, from 1951-53. “I’m hoping and expecting to see a lot of Washington I saw 60-some years ago when I was at Norfolk [Naval Base],” he said. “They didn’t have all these memorials or everything else back then. I’m very pleased to be able to do this.” Stone had applied for a seat aboard Honor Flight two years ago. First preference, though, continues to go to World War II veterans. Stone’s daughter, Roberta Stone of Rome City, accompanied him as his guardian. Those new memorials include the Koran War Veterans Memorial, just a good walk from the Lincoln Memorial. The newer memorial, dedicated in 1995, features 19 stainless steel statues depicting an American patrol during the Korean War. The memorial is just a path away from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. After his Navy tour, Stone returned to Ligo-

Phil Friends help prepare musicians for tomorrow

By Garth Snow

gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Young musicians are learning on dozens of instruments through a loan program directed by The Phil Friends. The volunteer group also assists the Fort Wayne Philharmonic through educational, scholarship and other programs. “We’re an adjunct orga-

nization for the Phil, so everything we do is in relationship to supporting the Phil,” said Sara Davis, vice president for education. The Friends lend instruments to be used in supervised school or private settings. “Right now I have 68 instruments out. At one point I was up to 86 instruments,” said Shelby McFann, a board member

and former Phil Friends president who directs the instrument loan program. “I start getting requests in late summer,” McFann said. “Actually it’s more in midsummer because the school year is starting earlier and earlier these days. It used to be mid-September. “I size the instruments if the teacher has not already sized the student, and there’s a process for doing that. You see if the hand will fit around the scroll of the instrument with a nice bend.” The Friends send instruments to specialists for maintenance. “Michael Schwarte is our string guru,” McFann said. “Once the instrument is sized it goes to Michael, because strings self-destruct when they’re sitting on a shelf unplayed.” Carey Cox of Triple C Music maintains the brass and woodwind instruments. Then the instruments are placed with parents. “There’s a loan agreement. It’s not called a rental,” McFann said. “When we first started this program in the early ’90s, we knew being associated with musicians that there were instruments in attics and basements and garages – places they shouldn’t be,” McFann said. “And we just wondered if we asked for them to be donated, could we start this

program? Well we did, and the response was fabulous and it continues to be. “We keep getting donations of instruments, and I don’t like to turn people away. We’ve gotten some very, very nice instruments. I’ve had instruments that are valued at $4,000 or $5,000. I’ve got others that are valued at a hundred dollars. But no parent really wants to go out and buy a one-eighth size violin for a child if they don’t know whether they’re going to continue to study.” Loan fees go toward maintenance and repairs. “Accidents happen. These are children. Or it’s just general maintenance. They need a new set of strings or the bridge is falling down,” McFann said. The Friends also hold

instrument playgrounds at certain concerts each year. Children pick up rain sticks, woodblocks or other instruments. They try out violins or saxophones. “We volunteer to give the children who attend the family concert a chance to make sounds on the instruments for the orchestra, and it usually is for the younger ones especially an ‘oh, wow, is that how it sounds’ kind of experience,” Davis said. “And it’s exciting. Our volunteer finds it wonderful to see that happen in a child’s face. ‘Oh, wow, I’ve made a sound.’” The next instrument playground will be Aug. 27, during Taste of the Arts in downtown Fort Wayne. The Friends group also sponsors the young artists competition, provides

lesson scholarships, supports Philharmonic musicians who coach the two youth orchestras, and helps The Phil in other ways. “The scholarships are such a good helping hand,” Davis said. “We have an evaluation to make sure those who really need it get the money.” “My heart is always in teaching children, and the best reward is to bring these experiences to the children and see them learn,” Davis said. Musically Speaking lectures, sponsored by the Phil Friends, are presented before Masterworks concerts. Lectures offer the listener an insider’s view of what to expect during the concert.

Luers students contribute to a ‘sanctuary for solace’ By Garth Snow

gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Families staying near their children in Lutheran Hospital can retreat to the comfort of nature without leaving the hospital campus. Bishop Luers High School students and other volunteers helped to prepare a vegetable garden and a wooded pathway within yards of Mad Anthonys Children’s Hope House. Master Gardeners Jackie Hoopfer and Diane Leatherman helped to design the project, which Leatherman described as “a sanctuary for solace, for the comfort of nature.” Hoopfer said Executive Director Andrew Gritzmaker was enthusiastic through the planning process. “He understood the whole horticultural therapy idea, and how important it is in reducing the stress level of his families,” Hoopfer said. “Hospital research has shown that five minutes of viewing nature is what you need to start decreasing your blood pressure and heart rate.” The garden is being built on raised beds, arranged in the pattern of the rays of the sun. A butterfly garden will be built nearby. Volunteers spread mulch over a winding path through the woods beyond. “It’s just going to be a little pathway in the woods where you can view nature, sit on a bench, and have a cup of coffee for five minutes before you have to go to the hospital,” Hoopfer said. “The families that are here under a lot of stress,” said Kathy Eikenberry, Mad Anthonys development director. “They have a child who is very ill in the hospital. Sometimes they have other siblings so the siblings are here, too. They’re not sure why they’re here, so we try to make it as much a home as possible. “We have volunteers come in and prepare meals at least five nights a week, so there’s a warm meal

for the families when they come in from a whole day of being at the hospital.” The 10 rooms are occupied most of the time. The staff is on site 24/7. Eikenberry said Gritzmaker developed the idea for the garden project. “He felt that it was just one more positive influence that we could have on the families,” she said. Luers teacher Stephanie Hamilton supervised students working on the outdoors project. Teacher Karen Marciano supervised the crew cleaning inside the windows and interior of the building. Student leaders assisted. “I really love it. It’s fulfilling our mission statement. It truly shows where we stand in our Catholic beliefs and as a community,” senior Jasmine Witt said. Luers senior Tamyra Merritt, another student leader, said the teams worked well together. “Everyone just clicked. They bonded immediately,” she said. “I feel great about it. I love helping children and I love

the fact that we’re going to be supporting the families.” The Mad Anthonys project was just one of more than 22 service projects that Luers students completed in one day as part of the Sodalitas program. Hamilton said the students volunteer to be team leaders. The faculty screens the volunteers and provides training. In the fall, the school will randomly select teams that include students of all four grade levels. “I think it was especially helped when Jackie visited and really showed them the vision for the project,” Hamilton said. “When you start seeing people really working together, true village style, it’s really kind of cool,” Hoopfer said. “Sometimes these families are only here for a few days. Sometimes they’re here for months. They never know when they get here how long they’re going to be here,” Eikenberry said. Families from 28 counties in three states

have stayed at the facility. “We’ve even had people all the way from Africa here because family members have been injured,” Eikenberry said. “They cannot tell us enough how wonderful it is,” Eikenberry said. “One, they don’t have to cook anything. They don’t have to eat fast food. They don’t have to eat out of the vending machine. They come here, it’s already there, it’s totally warm, all they have to do is get a plate and a fork and sit down. “The kitchen offers a huge family table. They get to share with others that

Sodalitas is a fellowship of students and adults who are helping fulfill a part of the Bishop Luers mission of serving each other and the community through service projects. Students and staff worked at more than 22 locations throughout the community on April 14, including: Vincent Village, Eagle Marsh Little River Wetlands, Children’s Autism Center, Carriage House, Hope House, St. John’s Parish, St. Henry’s Parish, St. Joseph Hessen Cassel Parish, Unity Lutheran School, Foster Park, Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo, Christ Child Society, Children’s Hope Hospitality House, Bloomingdale Elementary, ARC, Blessings in a Backpack and Community Harvest Food. are going through similar situations. So it’s good that they have that down time.” Money for the garden comes from a Scotts Miracle-Gro program

Outside is the food bank’s trailer where volunteers have assembled bags of basics from well stocked shelves and a refrigerator and freezer. One bag is given to each family of two. More are prepared for larger families. Clients can make additional choices at the window. The trailer, which is heated and air-conditioned, is not only used for food distribution, but to bring food from the food bank’s warehouse. It returns there Wednesdays and is restocked early the following week for Tuesday. Neller makes food purchases and pickups and warehouse manager Bill Bremer makes sure that expiration dates are strictly observed. Sixty-one volunteers from Emanuel Lutheran and New Haven United Methodist Church help clients to register, fill bags with everything from cereals, canned fruits and vegetables to meats, diapers and soups, and assist them in getting the bags to their vehicles. The United Methodist Church serves as a food collection location and its women’s organization provides diapers quarterly as well as financial assistance. “I’m hoping to enlist other churches in the area to become food collection points,” Neller said, “and perhaps get members of their congregations involved in volunteering here on Tuesdays.” He estimated that the Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger food drive earlier this month would provide the food bank about 2 tons of canned goods.

MAKES SENSE. Healthcare can be confusing. Most insurance companies don’t cover the full cost of ambulance transports. For a yearly membership fee of only $59, TRAA LifeCare can help where insurance companies stop. The LifeCare Program can save you hundreds of dollars. If you have not received a LifeCare application in the mail, please call 422-9172. But hurry - LifeCare memberships are only offered once a year! Offer ends June 30TH!

“LifeCare covers our entire family. We’ve had occasion to use the ambulance and because of our LifeCare membership, never received a bill. LifeCare is a wonderful service and the price of $59 a year for our whole family is perfect! I wouldn’t be without it. More families should take advantage of LifeCare - it is certainly worth it.”

New Haven High School seniors Garrett Shanebrook, left, and Reese Olden serve as interns at the food bank and earn honors diploma credits in the process.

Allen County Schools and Central Lutheran Elementary School collect a huge amount of food every October during the Mayor’s “Feed the Need” program. “We’re adding an additional service which we’ll be starting this fall when the weather turns cold. It’s a coat bank. The coats will be stored in the garage at our warehouse, which is getting a new roof thanks to the building trades students at New Haven High School and Home Lumber which is supplying the materials,” Neller said. Neller, who taught physical education in Milwaukee and East Allen County Schools for 44 years, and was New Haven Adams Township Parks & Recreation director for five years, said, “The food bank is a really neat community asset.”

be more entertainment this year, and all of it is free on the stage of the brand new band shell which is expected to be completed in Schnelker Park in time for the opening of the festival. “This new facility will be a tremendous help to the Canal Days Festival committee,” Stauffer said. “In the past we had to rent a stage at a cost of between $8,000 and $10,000. The savings will be spent on booking additional entertainment and will also be earmarked for making improvements to the festival.” First on the new band shell stage will be the Dyson Dance Studio students Thursday at 5 p.m. They’ll be followed at 7 p.m. by the Three Cities Band. Three bands will be featured Friday night, starting with the Hit Men at 6 p.m., the D-Day Band at 7 p.m. and the Band Brothers at 8 p.m. Faith and Family Night will again be Friday at 7 p.m., headlined by the Christian rock band City Harmonic. Also on Friday from 5-9 p.m. will be the annual Fort Wayne Corvette Club car show at the New Haven High School parking lot. During the evening the cars will cruise through a nearby neighborhood.

participants’ entry fees will be donated to the New Haven Police Reserves. The Festival Parade will depart from Emanuel Lutheran Church at the corner of Park Avenue and Green Street at 11 a.m. Saturday and work its way west on Park Avenue to the New Haven United Methodist Church parking lot at Mourey Street.

Tom Murphy, owner of Murphy Insurance, has been named parade grand marshal. Stauffer said, “the festival could not happen without the help of personnel from the Fire Department, Police Department, EMS, City Utilities and the Parks & Recreation Department. It’s always comforting to see police officers throughout the week, and we’ve been fortunate

over the years that there have been no incidents or disturbances.” “We’re thankful for the support of the downtown businesses, for the New Haven High School band students who take care of picking up trash, and members of the First Baptist Church who clear and wash tables in the main food tent,” Stauffer said. “We have a core of eight to 10 volunteers who have been active in the festival for a number of years, but we could use a lot more assistance.” Persons interested in helping in a variety of capacities are urged to contact Stauffer at (260) 602-4618 or sign up at newhavencanaldays.org or on the New Haven Canal Days Facebook page. Last year, the Festival Committee gave a total of $2,000 back to the community, which was split in $500 amounts to the New Haven Adams Township Fire Department, New Haven EMS, New Haven Police Reserves and Powerhouse Youth Center. Canal Days originated in the late 1950s and the Festival Committee was officially incorporated in 1974. There were a few years when no festival was held and some when it was held in other locations. It has been in downtown New Haven since 1987.
