Business brisk at first New tenants on Broadway local outdoor market By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Visitors bought plants, produce and specialties from 49 vendors who filled the northeast corner of Wayne and Barr streets for downtown Fort Wayne’s first outdoor market of the season. Ashley Adams Wagner, in her fourth season as manager of the Young Leaders Northeast Indiana market, said the May 21 turnout was ahead of last year’s pace. “We’ve probably seen around a thousand patrons shopping through the market today,” she said just before the market closed at 1 p.m. The number of vendors was up, too. “It was definitely more than we had last year,” she said. “I know we’ll have more vendors coming in June, July, August. We’ll have 60, maybe 70.” Like most vendors, Cathy Thomas of Convoy, Ohio, brought early season cold crops. She filled tables with lettuce, asparagus, onions and radishes. By 12:20 p.m., the inventory was whittled down to 10 English cucumbers. She remained until closing,

Markets around town For a list of local farmers markets, see Page A9 though, as did every other vendor. “Some are selling out,” Wagner said. “We ask that they don’t leave early, so that they can market themselves.” The tables were staffed, the aisles were full, the conversation was flowing and the music was playing until the silent final bell. As the season’s first musical guests put away their gear, they also picked up gifts of bread, soap, lip balm and flowers. “We figure that if they give you something, they appreciate you,” Mike Morrissey said. He spoke on behalf of the five-member band the Annealerz, all former employees of Fort Wayne Metals. It was their first appearance in that tent just behind The History Center. They had tried to play last year. “It’s amazing how tough it is to coordinate four or five people,” Morrissey

said. Instead, they played the opening market of the 2016 season. They had fun, he said. Dennis Parr of The Parr Farm in Kendallville was back for his second year at the YLNI market. “It’s a great market, phenomenal traffic,” he said. Parr also sells herbs and popcorn at a market in Kendallville and at the Salomon Farm Park market. “This early in the season it’s difficult to have a whole lot, but herbs seem to go over really well, so I come down with about 10 different varieties of herbs,” he said. “We have some popcorn that we raised last year, and we had a little bit of asparagus to start. What we’re really looking forward to is next week should start the strawberry season. If we get that 80-degree temperature, this week is going to be phenomenal.” Parr is retired after 37 years in health care. “I need something to do,” he said. “We have a very small greenhouse, but many of the herbs do really well in that cool, wet weather. The one exception being basil, it doesn’t like

Business is picking up on Broadway with the sale of the Canton Laundry building and business plans in place for its nextdoor neighbor. Hedgehog Press, currently located on Columbia Avenue in the 46805 neighborhood, is moving across town to occupy the former dry-cleaning building at 1014 Broadway. “I’m excited to have commercial neighbors,” Hedgehog owner Julie Wall said, noting her closest commercial neighbor is not very lively – it is a funeral home. Her new neighbors will include William L. Lupkin Designs, Ryan Hadley Studio, Fancy & Staple and The Phoenix. The Canton Laundry building, as well as its

which are sold nationally. Wall envisions the commercial space hosting a rotating art show and Hedgehog will have the opportunity to venture into home décor. “It will be a neat, quirky, conglomerate of stuff,” she said. She is looking forward to working with neighboring businesses to draw foot traffic to Broadway. After meeting with several current business owners in the area, she already has plans to coordinate showings and events to create an attraction for downtown residents and visitors. Making the move

Page A1 possible for Hedgehog Press is ARCH’s assistance, Wall said. The organization has helped her navigate the world of historic renovation as she builds out the current shell to accommodate her personal needs. ARCH will maintain ownership of the 1016 building. It plans to rent out the first floor for commercial use and the second floor for residential. Depending on regulatory approval, ARCH hopes to become a landlord by the fall. The properties, 10141016, had been on the market for about two years.

In honor of National Preservation Month, ARCH released its annual “most endangered” list of properties on May 19. During the year, ARCH closely monitors the properties and places an emphasis on their preservation. Nominations for this list are taken from the public throughout the year, via an online nomination form found at archfw.org. The 2016 list includes: • Brookview‐Irvington Park, a National Register Historic District that will be drastically altered when construction begins on the West State Boulevard realignment. • General Electric’s Broadway Campus, which closed in 2014 and continues to be under threat of vandalism and demolition. • Fort Wayne Bible College buildings: Schultz, Bethany and Hausser halls. After a redevelopment proposal was abandoned last summer, the future of these three vacant buildings is uncertain. • S.F. Bowser admin-

istration building on Creighton Avenue. The former headquarters of Bowser’s gas pump company and the remaining industrial buildings are threatened by demolition. Neighborhood residents are searching for a possible reuse strategy. • Fort Wayne Park resources: Foster Park Pavilion No. 3 and historic footbridges. Set along the St. Marys River in west Foster Park, Pavilion No. 3 has become an easy target for graffiti and is in need of roof repairs. New Deal‐era resources like this pavilion represent a threatened legacy in our public parks that transformed the role of parks in public life. The historic park footbridges, in particular the Mechanic Street Bridge, are in need of significant repairs. • Township era schools: Elmhurst High School. Built as a township school and later expanded and absorbed by the Fort Wayne Community Schools system, the building today is threatened by vacancy and uncertainty over its future use.

• C.F. Bleke Farmhouse, State Road 3. The historic brick Italianate farmhouse was recently sold as development property and its future is uncertain. • Canal House, Superior Street. The vacant building is flanked by a parking lot and vacant bus depot. With new developments planned in the area, there is concern about parking needs. The Canal House’s unique masonry construction would prevent it from being moved. • Streetcar commercial corridors: Lake Avenue and North Anthony Boulevard. The historic commercial corridors served streetcar riders throughout the city during the early 20th century. Now, some suffer from underuse, changing traffic patterns and vacancy. • Paul Kinder House, West Washington Boulevard. The impressive Craftsman‐style home is the only residential structure on a block that was identified as a potential site for a downtown arena. • Rialto Theatre, South Calhoun Street. The Reclamation Project announced its former

home was for sale in early 2016. • FW Box Co., Superior and Harrison streets. Early riverfront development plans call for the demotion of this Art Moderne industrial building, the only building of this style downtown and one of three buildings in the National Register-eligible Fort Wayne Box Co. complex. Awards given The preservation organization also announced the winners of its 2016 Archie Awards for preservation. Nominated projects ranged from individual houses to multistory mixed-use properties. The winner in the single-family rehabilitation category was Justin and Rachel Vedder, 2432 Hoagland Ave. Commendations went to Catherine Wood, 2431 Hoagland Ave.; Ben and Tammy Wahli, 1206 W. Jefferson Blvd.; and Stephen and Shirley Oyer, 1122 W. Wayne St. The winner for compatible new construction was Joan Smith and Leah See ARCH, Page A9

Film fest will have fans Hobnobben with artists

townie AMERICA’S BEST SELLING BICYCLE

By Garth Snow

Jonah Crismore wants Hobnobben Film Festival visitors to experience Fort Wayne while they experience 75 films. He admitted to being “both optimistic and conservative” when he estimated that 3,000 to 5,000 people will visit four downtown venues from June 16-19. Crismore, the executive director of Fort Wayne Cinema Center, traveled to other film festivals as he drew up plans for the local celebration of cinema. An Inspire grant from the Foellinger Foundation sponsored his travels. “I went all over the country to different festivals, different theaters, and the whole point was to be inspired, and to come back and do something big in Fort Wayne,” he said. He liked the atmosphere that he found in neighboring Michigan, at the Traverse City Film Festival. “What we truly are trying to do is create access between the community and film-

The misspelling is intentional. “We’re very much talking about a Google approach, where it’s not a true word and people can take it and make it into whatever they want it to be.” Filmmaker Michael Moore founded the Traverse City festival,

which also claims Michigan-raised actor Jeff Daniels among its board members. “One of the great things about that festival as opposed to some other festivals that I’ve been to is the focus is very much on the community there,” Crismore said. “Other film festivals I’ve been to were very much like you go to some theaters and you leave.

More than 1,000 cyclists took to the roads May 21 as part of Fort4Fitness’ Spring Cycle event.

Fort Wayne once again holds the designation of being a “bicycle friendly community” and the announcement came just a day ahead of a number of annual cycling events in and around downtown. This is the second time Fort Wayne has earned the distinction from the League of American Bicyclists, which focuses on a city’s willingness to improve cycling conditions, as well as promote cycling. Cities can apply for the designation every four year and more than 370 cities currently hold the designation in the U.S.

a destination place for individuals, families and businesses,” Henry said. “A commitment to biking, walking and our worldclass trails system is an important reason why Fort Wayne is experiencing positive momentum and investments like never before.” Allen County has a 90-mile trail network with 67 miles owned and maintained by the City of Fort Wayne. This year, the City has 5 miles of projects slated along Illinois Road, McKinnie Avenue, Liberty Mills Road, Renaissance Pointe and Covington Road. Created in January 2011, Fort Wayne Trails Inc. acts as a partner and advocate in the development of a connected multipurpose trail system in Allen County. Kent Castleman is executive director and works closely with the city on continued

expansion. For more information or to donate, visit the organization’s website, fwtrails.org. Remaining 2016 events include: • Tuesday, May 31, 6 p.m. Meet at the Moser Park Trailhead near the baseball diamonds at 601 W. Main St., New Haven, for a 9-mile ride. • Tuesday, June 7, 6 p.m. Meet at the Foster

distances - 10-, 16-, 34-, 44- and 62-mile rides. The Spring Cycle concluded with the Kickstart Block Party in Headwaters Park that afternoon. Kickstart is a month-long program of events that celebrate bikes, art and music. Also ongoing May 21 was Le Tour de Fort. Since 2009, Le Tour de Fort LLC has sponsored a bicycle ride and pub crawl in Fort Wayne to support veterans and promote community. Fourteen area bars, restaurants and pubs participated in the event.

Bicycle riders will turn their attention to the Foster Park Trailhead for Week 5 of Fort Wayne’s free, guided, community bike rides. The 8-mile ride begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 7, near Pavilion 1 at Foster Park, 3900 Old Mill Road. In its seventh year, Trek the Trails is pushing the 100,000-mile mark. In the first six years of the rides, participants have collectively biked 75,723 miles. Mayor Tom Henry started the rides as a way for residents to explore parts of the trail system that they may not be familiar with and to create social opportunities for families and friends to venture out in a guided tour. More than 100 riders turn out for some rides along the trail network. The 2016 rides began

May 3, followed by a May 10 kick-off party at Salomon Farm Park. Trek the Trails rides continue at 6 p.m. each Tuesday through Sept. 27. For a list of trail rides, visit cityoffortwayne.org/trekthetrails. Adults should accompany children; all riders are encouraged to wear helmets. Besides the 22 Tuesday events, there will be 20-mile Saturday bike rides — for those wanting a longer jaunt — on June 25 and Aug. 27. Similarly, 3-mile hikes will be offered on Saturday, July 30, and Saturday, Sept. 24.

HOBNOBBEN from Page A3 we wanted to do. When you go [to Traverse City] you definitely feel like there’s an event going on. Every single store has taken their goods and put them outside. There are vendors everywhere. It feels very much like any other festival, but it’s a film festival. “That’s one of the reasons that we wanted the film festival to remain downtown, remain walkable, so the people who come here from out of town – the filmmakers – are not just interacting with people at the film festival itself, but they’re also going down and getting a cup of coffee and talking with people. They’re also walking from here to the new [University of] Saint Francis facility. So it’s not just in formal settings, but also in a serendipitous way.” He said the community has been overwhelmingly positive toward Hobnobben. “This is the first year,” he said. “There are a lot of people who have never been to a film festival before. We’re hoping that this not only bridges a gap so an audience understands how a film comes to be, but also inspires some others to pick up a camera and become filmmakers themselves.” In addition to 40 feature-length films, the festival will offer two

collections of about 20 short films. “Plus we’re going to have an outdoor screening and a student short showcase, so all in all about 75 films that we’re going to show,” he said. Local filmmakers will present most of those short films. Crismore said the bigger films will be from the festival circuit or from distributors. “But they’re all going to be making their Indiana and northeast Indiana premier here at the festival,” he said. “On Friday night, we’re going to have a block party on the Arts United Plaza, and there’s going to be music,” he said. “There’s going to be a beer tent by Mad Anthony’s. There’s a Hobnobber brew that they’re brewing especially for us.” Admission to each film will be $10. “If there’s a filmmaker speaking afterward, that’s also included,” Crismore said. The committee continues putting together prices for special passes. The film list is complete but has not been announced. The schedule is still taking shape. “We’re releasing a few teasers right now via social media, so people can get excited, but the actual lock-down schedule is probably going to be released by Memorial Day. June 1 is the last day

at Headwaters Park. About 10,000 musicians are expected that same weekend for Gearfest, at Sweetwater on U.S. 30. “So Downtown is going to be very, very busy that weekend for sure,” Crismore said. He thanked Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana for working to find housing for filmmakers. “We’ve worked with YLNI on a few other endeavors in the past. Several of the committee members with the festival committee are involved in one way or another with YLNI,” Crismore said. Ryan Krueckeberg and Emily Wissell co-chair the film festival. “They’re volunteer co-chairs. They have their own very busy careers going on,” Crismore said. At Cinema Center, Crismore works with fundraising, programming, and as an artistic director. Andy Helmkamp, the director of operations, makes sure that things go smoothly. “Andy’s the one that programs the film in the projector, things like that that need to happen,” Crismore said. Cinema Center announces a week’s worth of programming about noon each Tuesday. Scheduling is an ongoing puzzle. When film rights are sold, the sale restricts availability to theaters.

Hobnobben Film Festival, June 16-19, downtown Fort Wayne. This multi-venue film festival is presented by Cinema Center, a nonprofit organization with 40 years of experience in the community. Hobnobben also will honor Philo Farnsworth, who perfected the modern television in Fort Wayne. The four Fort Wayne venues hosting the Hobnobben Film Festival are Cinema Center, Arts United Center, Parkview Physicians Group ArtsLab and University of Saint Francis Performing Arts Center.

“The film industry in general is very volatile, it’s last-minute,” Crismore said. “Sometimes trying to book something a month in advance, I get a response that’s very much as though I was trying to book something 10 years in advance. It’s very much week to week, day to day. That’s how they look at the world.” Crismore said he has been with Cinema Center for years. It has been in operation 40 years. It has filled the same former Arts United and one-time BubbleUp warehouse space for 19 years. “It’s amazing that one of my biggest struggles is to just get people to know that we’re here. We’ve been here for a long time,” he said. Loyal filmgoers come from Fort Wayne and Allen County and from counties to the west and to the north. Crismore said Hobnobben should make Cinema Center even better known. “We definitely have a membership program, so we have stakeholders who are truly part of the organization and many of them do come here every week. We have several regular people. But we also want to drop a bomb on the community, like this is who Cinema Center is and this what we do,” he said.

GRAND OPENING

Patric Didier

The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was co-founded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students’ techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and foxtrot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group practice parties provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction, demonstrations and social dancing.

Memories soar aboard local Honor Flight No. 19 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,

“

They came back and never mentioned a word.” Ben Clay

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 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 brother,” Treadway said. “A brother,” Dave nodded.

Event honors 11 officers killed over past century By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Representatives of 10 law enforcement agencies showed their support at a May 13 ceremony honoring 11 officers who have lost their lives since 1907. Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry offered remarks at the ceremony at the Law Enforcement/Firefighters Memorial of Allen County site at 1001 N. Wells St. “I want to thank not only the men and women in blue who stand before us today, but obliviously those who gave up their lives in the call of duty,” Henry said. Henry also presented a certificate of appreciation to Linda Vandeveer. Jerry and Linda Vandeveer established the memorial site and coordinate the annual service. Other officials and police

echoed the tributes to the those who died and those who still serve. Fort Wayne Public Safety Director Rusty York led roll call, reciting the names of the 11 officers and the dates of their end of watch. The first name read was that of Woodburn Town Marshal Columbus Croy, who was shot June 7, 1907, as he broke up a burglary. Croy was 44. The last name read was that of Fort Wayne Police officer Bradley Matteson who was killed Oct. 5, 2000, when his police car was hit by a tractor-trailer. Matteson was 43. The ceremony also remembered a probation officer, a state trooper, two Allen County Sheriff’s Department officers and five other Fort Wayne police

officers.”Last night we graduated the 88th class of the Fort Wayne Fire Department,” Henry said. “There were three things that were said over and over again during that graduation. First of all, we thanked the 14 young men and women entering the Division of Public Safety. Not everyone is called to do that. It takes a special person. Secondly, we let them know over and over again that this position is something that you really have to take seriously, because you’re really putting your life on the line every day that you’re called to serve. Finally, we thanked their families for allowing us to take their loved ones from them to put them in harm’s way every time they show up for work.”

MARKETS from Page A1 being out in the cool.” The jars of black popcorn were held over from 2015. He will plant a similar one-tenth-acre plot of popcorn this year. “There’s also about a tenth of an acre of sweet corn planted that’s up about 2 or 3 inches tall right now,” he said. “A tenth of an acre will probably be about 200 dozen.” Katie Mullett of

Turnover Creations in Hicksville, Ohio, sold bread and cookies. “I’ve had a lot of customers that have said they’ve been waiting all winter for this bread,” she said. Her sign promised fried pies. She had none to offer that first day. She might take orders for fried pies later in the season. As Katie kept a table at the YLNI market, Joe Mullett was tending the last Fort Wayne Farmers Market indoor market of the winter, a few blocks away at the Lincoln Financial Event Center at Parkview Field. The Mulletts have sold at both groups’ indoor markets on alternating Saturdays this winter. The Fort Wayne Farmers Market will set up adjacent to the YLNI market again this summer, on the southeast corner of Wayne and Barr streets. Both markets will operate 9 a.m.-1 p.m. each Saturday into the fall. Thomas, who brought in produce from Convoy, Ohio, on opening day, said her family has been part of the market for 10 years, or maybe 11. “It’s a great market. It’s the best in town,” she said. “They bring in entertainment and all sorts of things. It’s a great group of people coordinating it.” She said Fort4Fitness activities likely contrib-

uted to the crowd on opening day. The Thomas family’s 25-acre farm on Old U.S. 30 is a sixth-generation endeavor, founded in 1919. Its orchard and vineyard add to lateseason activity. Thomas will bring sweetcorn and tomatoes to market in midseason. “Hopefully in a couple of weeks we’ll have our own strawberries,” she said. The season started well and will get even better, Wagner said. “The food trucks are here. We’ve grown with the food trucks. We’ll see more of them this year,” she said. “We’ll have kids’ activities throughout the season. We’re always trying to grow the market by doing different things that the people want to see. “We want to get the word out about our local nonprofits and then people can learn more about them and what they do.” She also listed food demonstrations, free yoga once a month, and an end-of-the-year Bottle & Bottega painting class. “We’re super excited about that,” she said. The atmosphere makes the market special, she said. “People are excited to be here, the fact that they can purchase local and support one another,” she said.

Skyline Tower first to get Regional Cities funding BY BARRY ROCHFORD

director at Great Lakes Capital, said construction of Skyline Tower should start this summer. Mayor Tom Henry said Skyline Tower will be a “tremendous addition” to the city. “Fort Wayne continues to move forward, and I think that speaks volumes to our community,” he said.

brochford@kpcmedia.com

Great Lakes Capital’s $40 million Skyline Tower is the first project in the state of Indiana to receive funding through the Regional Cities Initiative. The 12-story residential, office and retail building that will be constructed next to Ash Brokerage Corp.’s new headquarters in downtown Fort Wayne was awarded $2.8 million, after the Northeast Indiana Regional Development Authority and the Indiana Economic Development Corp. approved its funding application. The funding will come out of the $42 million northeast Indiana will receive as one of three winners in the IEDC’s Regional Cities Initiative grant competition. The RDA board is tasked with awarding Regional Cities funding to projects aimed at improving the region’s quality of life and boosting its population. “So today is an important first for our state, for our region and for the city of Fort Wayne,” Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership President and CEO John Sampson said at a May 17 announcement at the 1st Source Center in downtown Fort Wayne. Bob Marshall, vice chairman of the RDA board, said members support the Skyline Tower project because it’s representative of the work that’s ongoing to advance the region. “This hits the sweet spot of what we’re doing as a team,” he said. David Arnold, a

Additional applications

Shortly after the Skyline Tower announcement, two universities made their pitches for Regional Cities funding at the RDA board’s monthly meeting. Representatives of the University of Saint Francis outlined their request for $2.8 million for the school’s downtown Fort Wayne campus that will open in August. The university is in the middle of a planned $14.6 million renovation of the former Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce building and the former Scottish Rite building. “We are making a significant investment in the downtown with these buildings,” said Sister M. Elise Kriss, USF president. The university’s Keith Busse School of Business and Entrepreneurial Leadership will move into the former chamber building, and School of Creative Arts programs will move into the nearby USF Robert Goldstine Performing Arts Center that formerly was the Scottish Rite building. Trine University officials also made their case to the RDA board about why the Angola school should receive

$3.8 million in funding for an ice arena for men’s and women’s hockey and a separate athletic and event center. In April, Trine officials unveiled plans to construct a 50,600-squarefoot ice arena and a 74,840-square-foot athletic and event center over the next two years. The ice arena will accommodate Trine’s men’s and women’s hockey teams beginning in 2017, as well as club teams from local high schools and hockey players from throughout the region, said the university’s senior vice See RDA, Page A13

Coliseum hosts launch for annual three-day Run for Fallen By Garth Snow

gsnow@kpcmedia.com

A ceremony, prayers and applause early Friday, May 13, at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum sent 20 runners on a three-day trek to honor Indiana’s military casualties during the war on terror. The Run for the Fallen ended that Sunday afternoon at the 144-mile marker at Veterans Memorial Plaza in Indianapolis. The morning sun streamed through the U.S. flag as the Wayne High School Air Force JROTC honor guard presented the colors on the plaza surrounding symbols and signs of America’s military traditions. Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry spoke briefly, commending the runners before they embarked on Day 1’s 52-mile run to

Freedom Park in Portland. The mayor thanked the runners on behalf of the city and the Henry family. Day 2 would end at the 110-mile marker in Anderson. Day 3 would take them to the closing ceremony in the state capital. Members of the Patriot Guard converged from Fort Wayne, Arcola and towns to the north. They came to honor the fallen, veterans and others who still protect America. “What we try to do is make sure they know we appreciate them,” said spokesman Russ Bauer, from Silver Lake. “We carry 500 flags. We honor the EMTs, police, fire, all the services. They are all trying to keep us safe.” At each mile marker, runners would give individual tribute to Gold Star

flag, and an Honor and Remember flag. Honor and Remember national founder George

Lutz instructed the runners. “The American flag is always against the shoulder. The American

flag sets the pace,” he said. Indiana Chairman Don Finnegan shared in the send-off. Marine Lance Cpl. Matt Bowman’s arms would power his travels aboard a low-slung cycle. The Lafayette man lost his legs after an explosion in February 2011 in Afghanistan. Family members and other supporters cheered the runners and they exited the Coliseum onto Parnell Avenue and headed south on the second annual honor run. The runners’ journey would cover one mile for each Indiana service member who died in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation New Dawn.

HONOR from Page A8 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 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.”

RDA from Page A11 president, Michael Bock. Construction of the $7.2 million, 1,000-seat arena is expected to start this month and be completed by June 2017, according to Trine’s funding application to the RDA. The $10.3 million, 3,000-seat athletic and event facility, which will be known as the MTI Center, will host men’s and women’s basketball games, and include a six-lane bowling alley and fitness center. MTI Center construction is expected to start in September 2017 and be finished by August 2018. The total cost of the project is $18.9 million, according to Trine’s funding application. Bock said the two

facilities align with the goals of the Regional Cities Initiative. “We want to do what we can to improve quality of place and quality of life with our project,” he said. RDA board members voted to take the two proposals under consideration. They could announce their decision about whether to provide Regional Cities Initiative funding to the two projects at their next meeting June 21. Any funding approved by the Regional Development Authority also must be affirmed by the IEDC. “It’s our goal to get this money working as quickly as we can,” said the RDA board’s chairman, Jeff Turner.

Kids 6-18 get free meals USF Jesters accepting at nine sites this summer registrations for summer Boys & Girls Clubs of Fort Wayne will provide free meals to children under 18 at nine sites in Fort Wayne this summer. The agency expects to prepare 855 meals each day. To reach the families that most need food services, the distribution sites will be located primarily in low-income areas and government-subsidized housing and Fort Wayne Housing Authority HUD apartments. The program does not require advance sign-up. Meals are available through Aug. 12 at the following sites: • Fairfield Boys & Girls Club, 2609 Fairfield Ave. • Brookmill Boys & Girls Club, 2857 Mill-

brook Drive. • McCormick Apartments, 3005 McCormick Place. • River Cove Apartments, 2430 River Cove Lane. • Coliseum Apartments, 1035 Ridgewood Drive. • Baldwin Creek Apartments, 2020 Hobson Road. • Richfield Apartments, 4737 Heatherwind Drive. • Villa Capri Apartments, 2015 Fox Point Trail. • Bridge of Grace, 5100 Gaywood Drive.

Monday through Friday. Breakfast will be served at 10-11 a.m. Lunch will be served noon-1 p.m. Boys & Girls Clubs will serve as an Indiana Department of Education sponsor for the Summer Food Service Program for Children. SFSP was created to serve nutritious meals to children when National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program meals are not available.

The Jesters of the University of Saint Francis is accepting registrations from people with developmental disabilities for its 2016 summer program. The program will include a series of intensives designed to give people with intellectual or developmental disabilities opportunities to explore the performing arts. Each intensive will be held for two weeks according to the following schedule: • Script writing/story telling — June 7 and 14, $15. • Dance/choreography — June 21 and 28, $15. • Theatre/drama — July 5 and July 12, $15. Each session will meet from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the dance studio at the USF North Campus Building, 2702 Spring St., across

from the main campus. Participants can register for all 6 weeks or a single 2-week segment. Activities will focus on creating a template for next year’s Jesters performance to be presented March 11 and 12, 2017. However, the summer program is offered to anyone with a disability regardless of his or her involvement with the traditional Jesters program that is held annually, September to March. Registration will be accepted through June 1. Capacity is limited to the first 20 participants who register for each session. To request registration forms, contact Molly McGowan in the School of Creative Arts at mmcgowan@sf.edu or (260) 399-7700, ext. 8001. Sponsored by the University of Saint

Francis since 1978, the Jesters is a performing group of people with mild to severe developmental or physical disabilities. Each year from September to March, the program provides customized, structured performing arts activities. Each spring, the Jesters program culminates in an original multimedia performance. The Jesters program enhances quality of life by engaging members in the creative arts, with a vision of developing self-expression, self-esteem, socialization and other life skills while providing learning opportunities to USF and the community. The Jesters program is funded in part by grants from the AWS Foundation and the Indiana Arts Commission.

GE, GFW ponder next steps to take By Linda Lipp

General Electric is evaluating a local study on approaches to save the downtown General Electric campus, but offered no specific comments – publicly – on any of its suggestions. Greater Fort Wayne Inc. paid for the study, which used focus groups to evaluate what elements were most important in the redevelopment of the GE campus, and sent a copy to GE executives. “We appreciate the community’s efforts, which should help contribute to the discus-

sions going forward,” GE spokesman Matt Conkrite said in an email to Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly. GFW is working on developing “a positive relationship” with GE, said Kirk Moriarty, director of downtown business development for GFW. But the next steps in the process are uncertain. The citizens task force convened last year by Councilman Geoff Paddock to explore uses for the downtown campus is just an advisory body with no legal standing. GE retains ownership of the property, and it is unclear

what roles the city of Fort Wayne and GFW might play in any future redevelopment effort. The results of the focus group meetings, conducted back in February, were revealed May 11 at a meeting of the GE task force. The goal of the process was not to suggest a specific use or uses for the abandoned downtown campus, but to explore the values and approaches that might guide the redevelopment process, said Andy Downs, director of the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics at Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne. Participants in the focus groups placed a high value on historic preservation and on finding a use that would make the property a “destination” attraction for visitors from the region and beyond. Paddock said GE’s recent decision to remove and store its towering rooftop sign, which had been damaged by vandals, showed the company’s desire to protect the historic property. Despite numerous security measures, GE acknowledged it was unable to keep vandals out of the building and off the rooftop. Although the building continues to deteriorate, the company has no plans to demolish it or any of the other buildings still standing on the downtown campus, Conkrite said. A total of about 200 people attended the three focus groups conducted by Downs – with assistance from IPFW faculty and students – with about 165 actively participating.
