A helping hand

Last year, Hatch applied for a grant from the Fort Wayne branch of the American Association of University Women to help fund the annual project. She had never applied for a grant before but she thought she’d give it a shot. Hatch didn’t get the grant because it wasn’t a local project, but the board of trustees still wanted to support her project, said board member Martha Weatherford. “We liked the idea for her project, but she didn’t fit the guidelines, so we just decided we would support her at our spring brunch in May,”
A package containing 126 colorful dresses is making a 10,000-mile journey – from a sewing room in Fort Wayne to an orphanage in Uganda. Over the course of a year, Martha Hatch, a retiree living in Fort Wayne, has spent hours sewing dresses for little girls who she might never meet. She first learned of the orphanage’s need for clothing about five years ago. Since then, she has been volunteering her time, talent and own money to the charitable cause.
she said. Members gathered fabric from their stashes at home and bought fabric and ribbon to help. The group donated six shopping bags of fabric and sewing supplies and $141 to Hatch for her project. The dresses are simple – a cotton shift with an adjustable drawstring ribbon neckline – and colorful with bright patterns ranging from flowers to flamingos. Now the dresses are ready to make the long journey from Hatch’s sewing room in Fort Wayne to missionaries in Texas who will travel with the dresses to the orphanage in Uganda. A common thread

Different leader, same mission
Francine’s Friends co-founder, board president retires after 13 years By Bridgett Hernandez bhernandez@kpcmedia.com
A new face is leading Francine’s Friends, a local volunteer organization that began busting barriers to breast cancer screenings in northeast Indiana 13 years ago. After Francine Shubert lost her battle with breast cancer in 2002, several of her friends set out to honor her by providing a life-
saving service to women. In 2005, a mobile mammography unit was established and the coach hit the road for the first time. The program provides mammograms to those who might not have access due to lack of insurance, funds, transportation or other barriers. Earlier this year, Sharon Simmons, who has led the program as board president since its inception, announced that she will
retire and that the organization’s longtime partner, Parkview Health, hired an executive director to lead the program into the future. Strong partner
The change will ensure the program’s longevity, Simmons said. When she helped found the organization, she never imagined that it would grow the way it did - thanks to the hard work of volunteers and

community support. For more than a decade, the organization’s headquarters was her dining room. Francine’s Friends didn’t have a paid staff or brick and mortar office. A partner like Parkview Health could help sustain the program’s growth, Simmons said. “It had grown so much, and I really felt like, as volunteers, it was just about as far as we could take the program because we didn’t have a lot of resources, really. What made it so successful was we had the support of the community,” she said. Parkview Health has long partnered with Francine’s Friends to provide funding for diagnostic testing if required for uninsured and underinsured individuals screened on the coach. Parkview also provided operational support. “They love the program as much as we do,” she said. Parkview chose Marita Dwight-Smith to lead Francine’s Friends. DwightSmith previously served as the director of the Breast Diagnostic Center, which also partners with Francine’s Friends to provide radiologic technologists to

staff the coach, the coach drivers, board certified breast imaging mammography radiologists and maintain the equipment. She also served as a Francine’s Friends board member. Simmons looks forward to seeing the program’s mission continue with Parkview’s support and Dwight-Smith’s leadership. “When they named Marita as the executive director, really we couldn’t have picked a better person. It’s who we would have chosen, so we’re excited about that. We cannot wait to see where Marita takes the program,” she said. Dwight-Smith said she’s grateful for the strong foun-
dation built by Simmons and other volunteers. “Sharon and the entire Francine’s Friends board has been an inspiration to me over the years. I’ve learned so much from them,” she said. While the board has disbanded, Simmons and other volunteers make themselves available in an advisory capacity, she said. “They are very gracious to still assist and advise for anything that I need. I feel like I have a lot of support,” she said. Looking back

Most employers don’t even require employees to clock out for the screening. If caught at a very early stage, the five-year survival
rate for people with breast cancer is close to 100 percent. However, some women are still hesitant to get screened because they’re worried it will be uncomfortable or it won’t be private. Simmons will never forget encouraging a woman in her 40s to get her first mammogram. It

took some convincing, but the woman agreed to the screening. She later found out that the woman had been diagnosed with breast cancer. “It made me cry just because that’s why we do what we do. She had no symptoms, she felt fine. She was healthy, she was eating healthy. She was
doing the right things. And she had breast cancer. She would have never known. She wouldn’t have gotten a mammogram. We had to talk her into it,” Simmons said. For more information about Francine’s Friends or to see the coach schedule, visit www.francinesfriends. org.

completed a large volume of charitable work: care bags for cancer patients, blankets for children in foster care, bibs and birth cloths for military families, and nightgowns and pajamas for nursing home residents just to name a few. The accomplished seamstress is modest about her contributions. She doesn’t seek out the spotlight. “No one needs to know. If there’s a need, there’s a need. You just do it,” she said. She doesn’t do it for the attention; she does it because she loves the work. On her living room walls, counted cross stitch pictures hang beside framed family photographs. Embroidered cloth napkins, a work in progress, are laid out on the couch. Her sewing room, filled with towering stacks of fabric and home to five sewing machines, is where she finds joy. Right now, she’s working on her granddaughter’s prom dress. She also makes her own clothes. Before she retired, she made an outfit for every day of the month and bought matching shoes so that she didn’t have to repeat any outfits. Hatch first learned how to sew years ago from a woman at her church. She sees her ability as a gift, and charitable sewing is her way of giving back. “I think I was given a talent and this is my way of giving back because I was blessed to learn to do it,” she said. She has already started on a stack of dresses to send to the orphanage next year.

Mother’s Day tradition returns in conservatory plant sale By Megan Knowles
mknowles@kpcmedia.com
A Mother’s Day tradition returns as the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory brings back its annual Mother’s Day plant sale. The sale returns for its 18th consecutive year after hiatus in the early 2000s, conservatory Manager Chad Shaw said, adding he believed the sale started sometime in the 1980s. The sale consists of more than 600 types of plants, ranging from annuals and perennials to house plants, hanging baskets and even bonsai. New this year, the conservatory will be offering soil for sale as well as more vegetable seeds and an expansion of its Indiana-grown native plant selection, Shaw said. “There’s a big conversation going on out there about natives, just in regards to their…positive environmental impact so we want to be able to cater to people to basically fill the want,” he said. Most of the plants sold at the sale are grown in the Lawton Greenhouse, where all of the plants for the displays at the conservatory as well as the plants seen in the Fort Wayne parks are grown, Shaw said. The sale takes place at the McMillen Community
Center, 3901 Abbott St. “The community center down there, especially since it got renovated, offers a really nice, well-lit, wideopen space to house all the plants that we have and allow people to actually move around in there and not be crammed,” Shaw said. Prices range from $1.25 for vegetable singles to $39.50 for 14-inch mixed containers and medium-sized bonsai, according to the conservatory’s website. Shaw said they try to keep the prices “really competitive” and accessible to the public. The sale is the only fundraiser for the conservatory, he said, adding that the sale has been growing the past several years. “Last year, we were really happy, we have more than 2,600 people come through,” he said. “It’s very popular and people look forward to it. We have a lot of repeat customers. Then the folks that have never been there before, it’s kind of fun to watch them come in too, going, ‘Oh wow, you guys have a lot.’” While the public sale runs May 11-13, a members-only preview sale is set for 4-7 p.m. May 10. “If folks want to come and be able to get that first peek, we do offer memberships to the conservatory at that time, so you can
actually sign up to become a member and shop that night, which of course then you’ll get all the membership benefits to the conservatory also,” Shaw said. For the general public, the sale runs 4-7 p.m. May 11, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 12 and noon to 4 p.m. May 13. Each day will have volunteers helping people
navigate the sale, answering questions and helping shoppers take purchases to their car, Shaw said. “We have somewhere around 80 volunteer slots we fill throughout that week, so it’s a big joint effort between staff here, staff there at the greenhouse and all of our volunteers,” he said.

Fort Wayne Children’s Choir to perform ‘Music in Motion’ May 6 By Meghan Schrader for IN|fort wayne publications
Fort Wayne Children’s Choir is preparing for its annual end-of-season spring concert with the theme of “Music in Motion.” Growing and expanding for 44 years, the choir now has more than 300 participating children, ranging from elementary to high school students, who will partake in one of the FWCC’s eight choir ensembles in the concert. “Students in the choir come from a variety of places and backgrounds. Each week, these young singers demonstrate the ability for music to overcome all differences as they work toward a common goal,” Executive Artistic Director Jonathan Busarow said. During the concert, each ensemble will perform two to three pieces of music while encapsulating the theme through choreography and movement around the stage. The students will be utilizing light to direct the attention of the audience throughout the large space as they move seamlessly from one choir and piece to the next in a collage format. “It’s sort of like decoupage for choral music,” Busarow said with a laugh. Several all-choir pieces will also be featured. “It’ll be a really cool way of experiencing music in different spaces,” Busarow said. “It will be, I think, a really good way of encapsulating our year. This is sort of the capstone (to) show off what we can do after a year of working together.” As the children near the end of the school year, they prepare to demonstrate their talents and passion for singing. “This is the big, end-ofseason concert so the kids are really anxious to show off all they’ve learned and how much they’ve grown and the audience

Student pride shines at Deer Ridge
Fifth graders present the Lion King
By Bridgett Hernandez bhernandez@kpcmedia.com
Fifth-grade students at Deer Ridge Elementary School recently transformed their cafeteria into the African savanna for the production of the Lion King. The fifth-grade spring musical is a tradition at Deer Ridge, and music teacher and director Sue Caudill felt this class was up for a challenge. “This is a very uniquely talented group of students. That’s why we thought this year was the year to undertake a show such as the Lion King,” she said. Preparation for two nights of performances in March started after the students came back from winter break. About 90 students participated in the student-led production, both on stage and behind the scenes. Caudill said students formed a theatre company, taking the lion’s share of responsibility for the show’s success. The adults – teachers,

parents and other volunteers – took on the role of collaborators. “It was a powerful experience that provided them with an immersed and engaged and purposeful way of learning problem-solving, cooperation, teamwork and responsibility,” she said. Student Trent George,
who played Mufasa and assisted in directing, said that it was a team effort. “It wasn’t like, ‘You go here and you go there.’ We all worked together,” he said. Student Molly Bartel, who played a lioness, was also the rehearsal manager. She was tasked with keeping her
fellow students on track throughout the production. “[Molly] also kept me on track as a director,” Caudill said. “She would text and email me and say, ‘Mrs. Caudill, don’t forget today you’re meeting with so-and-so at noon, and by the way don’t forget to bring this with you. And by the way, don’t

Students rehearsed before, after and, sometimes, during school in preparation for two nights of performances. Parent,
grandparents and other volunteers along with students put in hours on evenings and weekends working on the set, which was designed by Bonnie McCray. Jill Bontrager, a retired See LION, Page A8

art teacher, designed and created the actors’ masks from poster board. When asked about the production’s budget, Caudill and her students laugh. “That’s a little nebulous,” she said. “The school supported us as much as they could and a lot of donations came in, including people who contributed anonymously.” The result was a Broadway-worthy performance. While the show’s quality wowed audiences, the real magic happened in the three months before students took the stage, Caudill said. It was a bonding experience for students as well as the adults who worked on the show. “We became a family. Without each other, we couldn’t have made this possible. We all grew closer together whether we were best friends when we started or barely knew each other’s first name,” said student Zach Prendergast, who played Scar. Several students said the experience allowed them to explore parts

of themselves that they didn’t know they had. Student athlete Brady Jones said he discovered his dramatic side. He
played Zazu and does an uncanny impression of the blue cartoon bird. The students also developed an appreciation for their classmates’ talents. At auditions in January, student Yousef Hamed, who played the older Simba, was surprised to find out so many of his classmates could act. “I was really proud of our whole fifth grade and everybody who helped us because we were awesome,” he said. The students said they are grateful for all the adults who provided them with this opportunity and supported them every step of the way. They would like to give a special thanks to their music teacher and director Mrs. Caudill; fifth-grade teachers Sara Jones, Courtney Wennemar and Kari George; program coordinator Gretchen Carrel and all the parents, grandparents and others who volunteered; Julie Potter, who designed the costumes; and Sam Davis, who volunteered his artistic skills.

Food drive to benefit veterans
5 things DESIGN you need to know about:
WEEK
KPC News Service
1. Enjoy the whole week or choose your own adventure The third annual Design Week Fort Wayne will take place May 7-11 at the Arts United Center, 300 E. Main St. Organized by Dan Swartz, founder of arts nonprofit Wunderkammer Company, the week-long event attracts creatives and design influencers from around the country. Design Week will feature guest speakers, workshops, studio and factory tours and networking events designed to connect and inspire local creative industries. The event also aims to bridge the gap between the arts and economic development in the region and bolster the city’s status as a creative hub. Tickets range from $10 to $200. For more information, visit www.designweekfw.com.
Each day of Design Week highlights a different industry. Monday is societal design; Tuesday is innovation/research and development; Wednesday is architecture/interior design; Thursday is advertising/graphic design; and Friday is style/ fashion. General admission tickets for the week-long event are $200. General admission tickets are also available for individual days for $50. Corporate group rates are also available. For more information, contact Dan Swartz at dan@wunderkammercompany.com.
2. Don’t miss the keynote speakers
To alleviate food insecurity for veterans and their families, Humana, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Oak Street Health have partnered to host the Feeding America Drive in conjunction with National Military Appreciation Month. The drive aims to provide food for struggling veterans as well as raise awareness of the high rate of food insecurity within the veteran community.
“More than one in four veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan struggle to put food on the table. These vets are a large demographic in the 14 percent of Hoosiers suffering from food insecurity today,” a release from the event stated. Through May 19, people can drop off food at Oak Street Health, 436 E. Washington Blvd., in Fort Wayne. For more information, visit feedingamerica.org.
Design Week will feature a lineup of rock stars from the design world. The list of nationally known trendsetters includes Zach Klein, best known for co-founding and designing the video-sharing platform Vimeo. Keynote speakers will take the stage each evening, 6-7 p.m., at the Arts United Center.
3. Design Week is about bringing talent together The goal of the week-long event is to strengthen the local design community by connecting designers, institutions and businesses, Swartz said. Design Week will also highlight Fort Wayne natives who have left to do higher-level design work outside of the community. Swartz hopes to help reestablish working relationships between these creatives and their hometown.
4. Come ready to mingle To learn more about how Design Week is bridging the gap between the arts and economic development, read “Design Week elevates design work in urban landscapes” by Gwen Clayton in the April 13 edition of Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly, a sister publication of IN|Fort Wayne, or by going to fwbusiness.com.
In addition to general admission, Design Week will offer tickets to its opening party ($25) Saturday, May 5, as well as networking tickets ($10) 7:30-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Tickets for Design Week’s closing party are also for sale. Creatives are invited to bring a stack of business cards and rub elbows with others in the design industry. There will be appetizers and a cash bar.
5. There will be food trucks You don’t have to be a designer to enjoy Design Week, Swartz said. Although, he added, “If you’re genetically a human, you design things!” Members of the public are welcome to learn about exciting new ideas and network with attendees. Food trucks will be on the plaza all week for anyone who wants to stop by.

FUN from Page A6 booth. New this year, the expo will offer a virtual reality activity in which individuals who have a physical disability can experience riding a roller coaster or being the lead singer of a rock band. Fort Wayne Parks and
Recreation will also have a presence at the expo to provide information about the accessibility of the city’s parks and riverfront development. “The parks have done a lot for accessible recreation in the community and we’re excited that they’re going to come and profile some of that,” Hays said. This year, Family Voices Indiana will host a Heart to Heart Conference in conjunction with the expo with sessions on Friday and Saturday. The organization provides information, training, and support to families of children and youth with special health care needs and the professionals who serve them. Gathering these families in the same setting can
make them feel less alone because they’re going through similar challenges like navigating waiver services or adapting to changes in their school system’s special education program, Hays said. “One of the great things that comes out of Family Voices is that networking between families,” she said. “So often, a family of a child with a disability feels isolated, that they’re the only ones going through this.” For more information on the Heart to Heart Conference, visit fvindiana.org. Admission to the Disabilities Expo is free and parking is $5. For a complete list of programming, visit http:// disabilitiesexpoindiana. org/.

Page-turners for the palate By Bridgett Hernandez bhernandez@kpcmedia.com
Food and drink are usually banned from the library, but a recent event celebrated a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. A zucchini nut bread represented the young adult book “Holes” and a veggie and hummus spread took on “The Tale of Benjamin Yummy” are just a few examples of how participants offered culinary creations inspired by literary ones. The 2018 Edible Book Festival at Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne invited participants to create a dish based on a book, book title or pun of a book title. The edible books were exhibited and then enjoyed by festival attendees on April 2. The Edible Book Festival is an annual, worldwide celebration that takes place around April 1. This is the 12th year the Ivy Tech Community College Northeast Library has hosted the event as an opportunity to
promote literacy, creativity and community engagement. Held in the Student Life Center Gymnasium, the event was free and open to the public. Librarian Ellie Puckett said the event gets bigger every year. “We literally started it in the library, between the shelves, with maybe 10 tables,” she said. This year, the festival had 22 entries from local businesses, food artists, Ivy Tech students and staff and former employees. The event is an opportunity for individuals to promote their business or raise awareness about an issue they feel strongly about, Puckett said. For example, this year, Ivy Tech employee Julie Fisher Schaadt raised awareness with an anatomical cake based on a book about multiple chemical sensitivity disorder. “What I like is that people can promote different agendas. Whatever they want – they can
promote their business or something that’s close to their heart,” Puckett said. She also enjoys hearing participants’ stories from the inspiration behind a dish to things that did and didn’t go as planned in the kitchen. “The stories that you hear here are amazing,” she said. Terri Keith entered a sprinkle-covered assortment of treats based on a scene in “How to Babysit a Grandma.” “I was talking to the librarian, and I was telling her about how I just became a Grandma and I wanted to do a theme around ‘grandma,’” she said. Keith’s granddaughter was born March 16. Her dish is inspired by a scene in the book where the grandmother and granddaughter are enjoying lunch together. Even though her granddaughter is just a baby now, she looks forward to sharing moments like that with her someday.
Festival attendees voted for their favorite edible books. First place went to Daniela Arrington for her “Ten Little Ladybugs” cake. Second place went to Melinda Allen for her spread of rainbow-colored sweets based on “The Wonder of Unicorns.” Third place went to Sophie Isch See PALATE, Page A14

New this year was the award for best tasting entry. Isch also took this honor. A baking and pastry arts student, she blended two colors of fondant together to create the wooden door on her Secret Garden cake. Ivy Tech student Angela Shephard enjoyed the festival with her young daughter, Misty, who had a plate full of samples for taste testing. The mother and daughter said they were inspired by the creativity of the edible books. “Next year, me and mommy might pick a book to make a cake,” Misty said.

Watching our waterways By Megan Knowles
mknowles@kpcmedia.com
As residents become more interested in enjoying local waterways, they are also becoming more interested and invested in the quality of those water systems. Fortunately, local organizations are monitoring the quality of local ditches, rivers and lakes and educating the public on what it can do to help improve the state of our water. Testing
The Clear Lake Township Land Conservancy has been testing the waters surrounding and including Clear Lake consistently since 2008, Executive Director Bridget Harrison said. Volunteers test for indicators like temperature, pH level and more. The results are then recorded and uploaded to Hoosier Riverwatch, a program whose mission is to increase public awareness of water quality issues and concerns. “You can look at your overall water quality data and see if a stream is in excellent condition, good condition, medium and then, if it is bad or very bad you can take a deeper look at some of those parameters you test for and try to figure out what’s going on,” Harrison said. Some of the parameters the conservancy tests for includes temperature and dissolved oxygen, the right balance of which are essential for animal life. “Fish and aquatic insects…survive better in cold water, so if the water gets too hot it can impact their overall health and then they’ll be susceptible to disease and illness,” Harrison said. Findings
Higher levels of phosphorus can be found where fertilizers have run into streams, and can cause problems not only locally but further downstream, Little River Wetlands Project Director of Preserves and Programs Betsy Yankowiak said. “What we do on our lawns and what farmers do in their fields and what companies do in their lawns as well, what we do really affects Toledo and downstream,” Yankowiak said. The conservancy also tests for orthophosphate levels, which can contribute to algae blooms. Orthophosphates in Allen County has been consistently higher than the state average since 2014. In LaGrange and Noble counties it has been below the state average, while in Steuben County the numbers have been around the state average, according to data obtained from Hoosier Riverwatch. Ideal conditions are less than

0.3 milligrams per liter, according to information on the LaGrange County Lakes Council’s website. Water quality testers also look at turbidity, which is suspended matter in the water and affects its clarity. Allen County has made strides in water turbidity since 2012, seeing testing results below state averages. Steuben and LaGrange counties have seen results higher than the state average, while Noble County showed similar results to the state average in 2017 after a gap in reporting since 2010. Despite some areas being better than the state averages, Yankowiak said water quality generally is “poor in a number of areas.” This can affect property values around lakes, LaGrange County Lakes Council President Bob Hedges said. Runoff, which contributes to water quality problems, Yankowiak said, can also factor into flooding as well. “The farmers that were in the valley, what they’re experiencing is, with all the impervious surfaces – parking lots, streets, roofs – instead of that water infiltrating into the groundwater system it’s hitting sewers, streams, ditches and getting to the valley a lot faster. So what they’re experiencing is areas that used to be productive are now not as productive as they once were,” she said. This, however, is where wetlands can play an important role. The role of wetlands
In terms of flooding, wetlands can work as a holding tank and sponge to catch and absorb excess water, Yankowiak said. “So when water is able to pool into Eagle Marsh it slows it down, so you reduce the velocity so you can help reduce the erosion capabilities of a certain rain event,” she said. “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife (Service) estimate that one acre of wetlands can hold 1.5 million gallons. So for
Eagle Marsh that’s over a billion gallons of water during a flood event.” In addition, wetlands act as “the kidneys of the environment” to filter out substances from the water. Sediment, nutrients and pollution suspended in the water has a chance to settle to the bottom. The result is cleaner, clearer water, Yankowiak said. Improving water quality
Advocating for wetlands is an important part of improving water quality, said both Harrison and Yankowiak. “In Indiana over 85 percent of our wetlands are gone and Indiana rates some of the lowest in water quality,” Yankowiak said. Farmers who are interested in converting their
Local organizations test, advocate for water quality
land back into wetland can do so through a federal program, the Wetland Reserve Program through the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which is a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Yankowiak said. The program is completely voluntary, she said, and land has to meet certain criteria, including having hydric soil – “areas that are or were wetlands will have the right soil type,” she said – and being farmed recently, among other requirements. More information on this program can be found at https://www.nrcs.usda. gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/ national/programs/easements/wetlands/. Farmers, and those who fertilize their lawns, can also be mindful not to spray fertilizer close to waterways, Harrison said. “There’s just a high risk of that running straight into the water source,” she said. Furthermore, Harrison encouraged landowners to test their soil first to see if they need nitrogen or other chemicals to begin with. Fertilizers are also available that do not include phosphorus, Hedges said. Homeowners can help improve water quality in other ways as well. She encouraged anyone living near a lake who has a septic system to make sure that system is working properly. “Septic inputs into water quality can really negatively impact some of those
TOP JOBS
(water quality) parameters,” she said. In addition, she encouraged homeowners to wash their cars at a car wash or on the grass so the water can soak into the ground rather than run off into the water. Likewise, Yankowiak said homeowners can create their own wetlands by putting in a rain garden, which traps water for up to 48 hours so it can filter into the soil rather than run off to waterways. Rain barrels can also help reduce water runoff, she said. Other gardening tips include planting trees and other plants with deep roots to help bring surface water into the ground, Yankowiak said. “Can you grow your garden a little wider? Can you add plants that grow a
little deeper?” she asked. “It doesn’t have to be monumental. If everybody did a little bit, it would be a lot.” Harrison believes people are starting to understand the importance of water quality. “People love Clear Lake, they love it so much that 26 years ago they created a group to help protect it, so I think people are getting more aware of how they positively and negatively impact the lake and the water quality and I think that people are trying to make wise choices and be educated,” she said. “The water we have is all we have, no more is created, this is it,” Harrison added. “I think if we don’t make the effort to protect the resources we have now, there’s no guaranteed we’ll have those in the future.”
