Snider welcomes ‘Addams Family’

FWCS referendum seeks $130 million for upgrades

By Garth Snow

Jacqueline Till enjoys portraying the emotional contrast of Wednesday Addams in “The Addams Family.” The Snider High School senior portrays the daughter of the eccentric title family, who is secretly engaged to the son of the more conventional Beineke family of Ohio. “It’s really hard switching from having no emotion to having all the emotion when Lucas is around,” Till said, “and it’s interesting to do that switch as an actress.” The musical has a twist of dark, but is fun overall, she said. “There’s so much comedy in it,” she said. “The Addams Family” marks Till’s seventh production at Snider. “Each cast that we have at Snider is like a big family. It’s really interesting to see all those people work together,” she said. The

When Fort Wayne Community Schools asked voters in 2012 to approve a tax increase to fund $119 million in repairs, the answer was a solid “yes,” with a 2-1 margin in favor of the work. FWCS is hoping voters will react the same way to a referendum on the May 3 ballot that would fund $130 million more in infrastructure repairs to 42 buildings. This time, proponents argue, the referendum is “tax neutral.” Because the district is paying off bonds used to fund earlier projects, such as the extensive renovations at North Side High School, the tax rate increase needed for the new projects will

THE PROJECT IN BRIEF Fort Wayne Community Schools would restore or renovate 42 buildings at a cost of up to $130 million. The largest single project would be major renovation to Northrop High School. Proponents say this Phase 2 is similar in purpose to the work funded under Phase 1 in 2012, and is in effect tax-neutral. The question is on the May 3 ballot.

When baseball fans return to Parkview Field, they might overlook the subtle upgrades that have been made over the winter. The TinCaps face the Lake County Captains in the home opener, April 9. For openers, a 20-foothigh protective safety net has been added the length of each dugout to protect fans from sizzling foul balls. The nets will not inhibit the fans’ view of the action, nor will they eliminate opportunities to snag pop fouls that might be lobbed over the screens. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Minor League Baseball President and CEO Pat O’Conner had endorsed the screens as a safety measure, which cost $22,500. On their way to their

Local mystery author tells of path to ebooks Natalie S. Ellis laughed about the lessons she learned en route to publishing two mystery romance novels. “It’s been a long journey to publication,” Ellis told the Time Corners Kiwanis Club recently. “I started writing these books about 25 years ago.” She told of delays and disappointments, and said she once told her agent that she was

ﬁnished with writing. Ellis persevered, though, and is pleased with the results. Natalie S. Ellis is the pen name for Natalie Eggeman, of Fort Wayne. Her ﬁrst published work, “Fear for Hire,” tells of a paid kidnapper who mistakenly abducts the wrong person. “It will keep you turning the pages, and it’s set here in Fort Wayne,”

she said. Her second novel, “Revenge for Hire,” also is set in Ellis’ hometown. Ellis uses Fort Wayne ﬁxtures as her backdrops. She noted that Rick Kinney is in the process of restoring the Clyde Theater in Quimby Village. Her book envisioned not only a restored theater, but a water park. “I made that whole Quimby Village a riverfront

And there’s also some romance in it,” she said. “I’m always surprised by how many men tell me they’ve read the book and really liked it.” As she learned about the industry she also learned about her readers. “Jack, the kidnapper, was a lot meaner in the [original] book because I thought it

Snider faculty member Margaret Buttermore serves as vocal director and has assisted in other ways during rehearsals. “I think we’ve got the kids in the right spots,” she said. “They’re really getting into their characters.” “A lot of the seniors who want to be drama majors are really stepping up,” she said. Buttermore said the musical, like the TV show, has a very recognizable opening musical number. “Tell people that they cannot be late, because the very ﬁrst notes out of the orchestra is what they want to hear,” she said. “They can’t be out in the hall or they’re going to miss it. This actually has an overture. The majority of the scene changes are done through the show, so it’s not like a big delay when the scenes are changed. It’s going to go by very quickly.”

CLHS recognizes three alumni for service Three Concordia Lutheran High School alumni are being honored for their service to their communities as well as their alma mater. • Jill (Brueggeman) Nichols, a retired executive for Vera Bradley, is being recognized with the Distinguished Alumnus Award for her achievements since graduation. The award is the highest honor given to a Concordia graduate. It recognizes graduates who have demonstrated an ongoing dedication to Christian principles and the church, with both lifetime and personal achievements. Nichols, a 1979 graduate, was the executive vice president of philanthropy and community relations for Vera Bradley. In her church, Saint Michael Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, she is the treasurer, and she also served as the co-chairperson for the church’s capital campaign. In the community, she has served as the treasurer

for the Lutheran Foundation and the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Nichols Cancer. She chaired the Northeast Indiana Riley Children’s Foundation Regional Committee and served with the Birchwood Adult Daycare. She also co-chaired the campaign for construction of a new facility for the Alzheimer Daycare where she served as the volunteer interim director of the facility for several months. At Concordia, she has given much of her time, talents and treasures to support the mission of the high school, including serving as the volunteer interim alumni director. During that time, she initiated the ﬁrst Alumni Weekend, which is now celebrated each fall. As the Distinguished Alumnus Award recipient, she will speak at

Concordia’s commencement on May 29. • Bonnie (Kruse) Doerffler, a Doerffler 1974 graduate, is being honored with the Distinguished Service Award because of her dedicated support, activity and service to the ministry of CLHS. Doerffler has worked for Parkview Health for 38 years as the manager of the imaging department at Parkview Randallia. At St. Paul’s Lutheran Church where she has been a member for 37 years, she is the Altar Guild president and has served the Altar Guild for many years. • Laura (Hudson) Pollom, a 1995 graduate and a professor of communication at Concordia University Chicago, is being recognized with the Neale M. Shank Award. The award, named in honor of an alum who died while

FIELD from Page A1 proactive where the fan’s safety is involved. Though the concourse was not visibly deteriorating,” said Nolan, “it has seen a lot of wear and tear considering the stadium hosted 623 events in addition to the TinCaps games. That includes concerts, charity run/walk events, business and service club meetings in our conference center and the fact that it is open daily for exercise walking.” One thing that fans will notice is the structure on top of the 400 Club in center ﬁeld. The new Summit Presented by Tuthill will accommodate groups of 25 to 125 for a unique game view and an unobstructed look at the Fort Wayne skyline. In fact, it’s the only baseball ﬁeld in the country with such a facility that gives fans an elevated batter’seye-view of the action. The TinCaps have invested $600,000 in the new restaurant/bar/ patio. and Tuthill (local pump manufacturer) purchased the naming rights. Seats have been installed on the patio for watching games and there will be high chairs and tables to enjoy food catered by various Fort Wayne restaurants. The $40 per person charge includes the game ticket, and unlimited food and beverages.

Parkview Field is more than baseball. This season the park will feature 20 fun theme nights ranging from a high school spirit night in May, a birthday party to celebrate Indiana’s 200th year, a Star Wars night, a summer Olympics evening, a “Tonight Show” event, a pirates night and a Halloween night. Most of the theme nights will be on Fridays, but a few are scheduled for Thursdays. TinCaps

players will wear special jerseys on some nights, and fans are invited to dress up according to the particular theme. The team has announced that there will be more post-game ﬁreworks than ever before, with a record 32 scheduled. Nolan, who has visited many of the ballparks around the Midwest League, said, “Fort Wayne fans are treated to bigger, better and longer ﬁreworks displays than

any other park.” Stadium Journey magazine has named Parkview Field the No. 1 baseball experience in the minor leagues four of the last ﬁve years, No. 3 in all of baseball’s 160 stadiums throughout the country, and No. 9 among stadiums of all kinds in the United States. The additions and upgrades to the stadium this season will likely ensure its continued high national rating.

Alzheimer’s walk seeks volunteers The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is recruiting volunteers for the fundraising walk on Saturday, Oct. 8, at Parkview Field, 1301 Ewing St., Fort Wayne. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, email IndianaVolunteer@ alz.org or call (800) 272-3900. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is described

as the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s disease care, support and research. “Alzheimer’s disease is the only cause of death among the top 10 in America that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed,” development specialist Julie Burkholder said in a statement from Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter.

Taste of Waynedale fundraiser serves samples to 700 More than 700 people turned out for the 8th annual Kingstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Taste of Waynedale, raising about $4,000 for each of two charities. The March 22 event was held at the Mount Calvary Family Life Center, 1819 Reservation Road. It was presented by Kingston Residence, 7515 Winchester Road. Kingston marketing director Camille Garrison thanked all those who supported the fundraiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vendors were enthusiastic and prepared with a wonderful array of food and drinks,â&#x20AC;? she said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole community turned out to support us, and it was an evening of fun and fellowship in Waynedale.â&#x20AC;? Tickets sold for $15 in advance, $20 at the door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had close to 700 people in attendance, and we will proudly donate $4,000 to both Community Harvest Food Bank and Honor Flight Northeast Indiana,â&#x20AC;? Garrison said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This brings our eight-year giving to a remarkable $66,721. We truly appreciate everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a board member for Honor Flight, I am elated that our organization was selected again as one of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charities. Since we added a fourth ďŹ&#x201A;ight last year, every dollar donated will help offset the additional costs,â&#x20AC;? she said. Honor Flight Northeast Indiana President Bob Myer and several board members were on hand. They met with veterans and even enlisted veterans for future ďŹ&#x201A;ights to see the memorials in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working really hard for Flight No. 19, April 27.

We thought we were done. Of course three years ago we thought we were done. And with this April ďŹ&#x201A;ight we will exceed 1,200 World War II vets.â&#x20AC;? Myer said Honor Flight also plans two ďŹ&#x201A;ights from Fort Wayne to Reagan International Airport in Washington, D.C., this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If everything goes right, this year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take 344 vets out of Fort Wayne.

FWCS from Page A1 say “tax rate increase” but, in effect, approval of the referendum won’t add to the taxpayers’ burden, she said. “It will be a net zero.” District representatives have been meeting with community and other groups at least twice a week to make sure everyone understands that point, and the campaign to support the referendum is moving into high gear as May 3 approaches. The majority of the funds from the referendum, $107 million, would be used to make major infrastructure repairs at 10 schools: Glenwood Park, Lindley, Nebraska, Price, St. Joseph Central, Washington Center and Waynedale elementaries;

Lake and Shawnee middle schools and Northrop High School. An additional 32 other buildings are slated for lesser projects. Air conditioning and security improvements account for much of the work FWCS wants to do, said Darren Hess, director of facilities. Sixteen buildings in the district have only partial air conditioning; and half of those have no air conditioning in classrooms. About $15 million is budgeted for that work. Another $2.5 million is earmarked for security upgrades at 25 schools. The work will be spread out over a period of six to eight years, Hess said.
