Culinary Camp teaches kitchen skills, teamwork For Times Community Publications

The diners, 64 in all, filed into Cornerstone Youth Center in Monroeville on June 21 to enjoy a special meal prepared by students attending Culinary Camp. Lights were low, soft background music was playing and each guest was escorted to an assigned table by sharply dressed young people in white shirts, black pants and black aprons. After guests were seated, other students appeared to take guests’ drink orders. Behind the scenes, other students were feverishly putting the finishing touches on the appetizer under the watchful eye of Chef Mike Bentz of Crackerjack Catering. The preparations that had

been underway since around noon that day were falling into place nicely. This was not your run of the mill rubber chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, corn from a can and garden salad. It was, indeed, a gourmet meal that started with a refreshing mocktail (southwest pineapple spritzer), California roll appetizer and Caprese salad. For the entree they served a mouth-watering stuffed pork roulade with spinach, prosciutto and onion confit served with bacon apple bordelaise. Completing the fare were ginger snow peas, yellow squash and fingerling potatoes. Climax of the evening was key lime pie. See CAMP, Page A10

Poultry back in mix at Allen County Fair By Rod King

For Times Community Publications

The popular 4-H Club poultry exhibits return to the Allen County Fair this summer. The Indiana Board of Animal Health banned the exhibition of chickens, turkeys and ducks at fairs around the state last year as a precaution against the spread of avian influenza. The ban on chickens and turkeys has been lifted, but no waterfowl will be exhibited again this year. Events begin July 26 at the Allen County Fairgrounds, 2726 Carroll Road, Fort Wayne. More than 600 young people will show their llamas, pigs, rabbits, goats, cattle, sheep, horses, vegetables, flowers and other projects through the fair’s close on July 31. Extension educator Barb Thuma said 63 youths are enrolled in the poultry projects. “They have been producing this animal

Shiny machines shared the spotlight with the music at the summer’s first Georgetown Fridays concert. The Fort Wayne Corvette Club lined up 18 namesake cars for free inspection in the library parking lot. Just below the fence, families lined up for Bandido’s dinners, children waited to have their faces painted, and health agencies handed out brochures. John Curran and the Renegade Band covered “Folsom Prison Blues.” The crowd sat in lawn chairs, or stood, or wandered through the showcase of cars. It was their first opportunity to do so this summer, but it won’t be their last. The

The self-described theater nerds converge on Canterbury High School. Principal cast members display the skills they

found onstage at Bishop Dwenger, Homestead and Leo high schools. Kirby Volz takes charge of Summers Auditorium for his 18th summer with Fort Wayne Summer Music Theatre. The

all-star cast and crew inch one rehearsal closer to six productions of “Beauty and the Beast.” The production unites energy from many high schools and middle schools, according to

Volz. “This is the first time we’ve had kids from Ohio, which is great,” he said. “These are kids that just really love theater, and they’re willing to give up half of their summer

to be in a show with other theater geeks,” Volz said. “That’s what we love to do. “It’s my opportunity to have an all-star team, because you’ve got the best kids from all the programs. The kids that are going to give up their summer are generally the top kids in their programs, so I’m fortunate to reap those benefits.” The Beast is a familiar role for Jajuan Allen. He wears the cast T-shirt from the spring of his junior year at Leo High School. “It was one of the best roles,” the recent graduate said. “I tried out and I was lucky to get the part.” Allen will follow new blocking in this production. Some of the lines are different, too. The Beast will fly. “It’s more intense, I’ll tell you that,” Allen said. “But as Kirby said, ‘We’re drama nerds, so we know exactly what we’re doing.’ ” In his first season with FWSMT, Allen enjoys meeting people from other schools. “I thought it was going to be a regular summer and then go to college, but that has changed a lot,” he said. At summer’s end, Allen will pick up his helmet and football scholarship at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio. Recent Bishop Dwenger High School graduate Chelsea Heise earned the role of Belle, the Beauty. At Dwenger, she played Jo in “Little Women” and Eve in “Children of Eden.” She returns for her fourth production with summer theater. She said she values the chance to work with kids from different schools. “I met my best friend through summer theater, and I wouldn’t have met her otherwise,” she said. She is fascinated with her latest role. “She’s an interesting character to play because she falls in love with a guy,” she said. “In her own way, she ends up saving herself and she ends up saving the Beast. She grows into herself.” The fall semester will find her at IUPUI, in Indianapolis, studying occupational therapy. Atticus Bennett has shared the Homestead stage for four productions, including portraying the dutiful

Ed in “You Can’t Take it With You” and Nicely, Nicely Johnson in “Guys and Dolls.” In his first production with FWSMT, he is Lumiere. He sings, struts and dances with Belle to “Be Our Guest” at the dynamic close to Act I. This fall, he will enter his junior year at Homestead. He said he enjoys meeting and working with students from all over the city who share the same respect for theater. The adults, too, are veterans of several Fort Wayne stages. Assistant Director and public relations coordinator Andrew Sherman was once a student of Volz at North Side High School. “He was in it through four years in high school, and graduated in 2011. He started as an actor and also designs some lighting for me and he just kind of moved into this position when he aged out of the programs,” Volz said. Rehearsal enjoys the attention of both Volz and Sherman. “Don’t sing to the floor,” Volz says to one student. “E-nunci-ate,” Sherman advises the entire cast. Volz still embraces FWSMT four years after he moved to Shelbyville, where he teaches in middle school and high school and shares in See STARS, Page A7

We’re pleased to host these activities and as living historians, we like to teach about life, not just the military. It was difficult here on the frontier then and took a lot of grit just to exist.

nice feathering. The public can see exhibition birds of many different types,” Thuma said. The Fair, however, is more than just a 4-H show. In fact, as a county fair, it’s considered an open festival for everyone to enjoy. As fair board member Jerry Hammond explains it, “We’ve tried to provide a varied program that is family friendly and can be enjoyed by everyone. Last year 35,000 people came to the fair.

We hope the weather holds and even more come this year.” Its schedule of activities lists everything from a greased watermelon contest, kids water relay races, cookie stacking contest and air rifle shooting to a llama quiz bowl (individuals competing against each other to give correct answers to questions about llamas), pedal car races, donkey and pony rides and kids crafts with Miss Allen

County and her court. Of course there’s a midway with a variety of carnival rides that opens every evening at 5 p.m., monster truck rides, rickshaw races, a straw maze, potbelly pig races, a youth talent contest, draft horse shuttle rides, outhouse races, redneck races and a pizza eating contest.

On the production side, we have a lot of the same people every year and they’re really good about involving the kids in that process, too, so they learn – not only the onstage part but also how to put platforms and flats together and how to work lights and props and things like that that they

should learn. It continues as an education program. It’s learning the process, but it’s the product, too. Some programs it’s all about the product, and I want to make sure they learn everything they possibly can. Education comes first, so that when they go back to their schools they can participate more in their program.” The Fort Wayne Summer Music Theatre was established in 1998. Volz said the first programs were presented at the end of June, but about 10 years ago the schedule was changed to fall within the Three

Five local students earn 4-year Lilly scholarships

Why wait? •

Ivy Tech Northeast has 50 academic programs

Apply for free online today IvyTech.edu/ApplyNow or call 888-IVY-LINE and speak with an enrollment specialist.

Five Allen County students will receive full-tuition, four-year scholarships as the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne 2016 Lilly Endowment Community Scholars. The following students have been selected to receive a scholarship to an Indiana college of their choice and a $900 yearly book stipend for required books and equipment: • Quintin Hall, Snider High School, plans to attend Butler University to pursue a degree in political science and communications. • Makalah Krick, Heritage Jr./Sr. High School, will attend Huntington University to pursue a degree in elementary education. • Amy Rowland, New Haven High School, will attend the University of Saint Francis to pursue a degree in psychology. • Emily Vian, Snider High School, will attend Purdue University to pursue a degree in communications. • Kendra Yarian, Northrop High School, will attend Butler University to pursue a degree in pharmacy. “We are pleased to help these very deserving

young people reach their academic goals,” said David Bennett, executive director of the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne. “On behalf of all of Allen County, we want to express our sincere appreciation to Lilly Endowment Inc. and Independent Colleges of Indiana for continuing to provide this very generous support.” In Allen County, 86 students applied to their high schools and 28 applications were forwarded for review by the Lilly scholarship committee at the Community Foundation. Eligible Allen County students have to demonstrate successfully overcoming an obstacle, financial need, academic performance, work and community involvement, and a personal statement of goals. Finalists’ names were submitted to Independent Colleges of Indiana for the final selections. ICI is a nonprofit corporation that represents 31 regionally-accredited degree-granting, nonprofit, private colleges and universities in the state. There were 142 Lilly Scholarships awarded statewide. Typically, scholarship recipients have been iden-

tified in March of the year they graduated from high school; however, starting in 2017, Lilly Endowment Community Scholars will be named in December of their senior year. Identifying Lilly Scholars earlier in the school year is intended to give selected students more time to decide which college or university to attend. The Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne is adjusting its time line for choosing local scholars. Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship applications for 2017 graduates are now available. Completed applications will be due to Allen County high school guidance offices in August 2016. Interested students should check with their guidance office for the school’s deadline. The scholarships are part of a statewide Lilly Endowment initiative to help Hoosier students reach higher levels of education. Indiana ranks among the lowest states in the percentage of residents over the age of 25 with a bachelor’s degree. The Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne is a public charitable foundation serving Allen County since 1922.

Fort Wayne art museum revises admission charges The Fort Wayne Museum of Art has increased individual general admission prices by $1, effective July 1. Adults will pay $8. Seniors and pre-college students will pay $6. Families pay $20. Admission is free after 5 p.m. Thursdays. In a statement, the museum said the increase is designed to address rising costs of attracting more high-profile exhibitions. The museum also announced discounts for low-income individuals and families. The FWMoA will reduce admission to $3 for anyone who presents an EBT card with valid photo ID. That service is a result of the national Museums for All program to expand access to the arts. The FWMoA is the first museum in Indiana to join Museums for All. Visit childrens-

museums.org for a list of participating museums. The Museums for All discount program replaces FWMoA’s Last Saturday Dollar Days program. The FWMoA will continue its partnership with Fort Wayne Community Schools and East Allen County Schools, which features free gallery tours for students up to Grade 12 throughout the school year. Through this partnership, FWMoA provides free guided tours to over 5,000 schoolchildren each year. Visit fwmoa.org for updates on exhibitions. Museum hours are noon-5 p.m. Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, and 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Thursday. The FWMoA is in downtown Fort Wayne, next to the Arts United Center at the corner of Main and Lafayette streets.

She continues meeting with the town council members one-on-one, “to make sure we’re on the same page.” Garvin lives in Fort Wayne with her husband, Adam. She formerly worked with Fort Wayne City Utilities on energy and sustainability projects. She said she has been received warmly in Leo-Cedarville. “People just stop in to meet me,” she said.

CAMP from Page A1 The meal received rave reviews from the diners, who left with sated appetites and a new appreciation for the Cornerstone Youth Center’s summer camp program. For the 30 young vegetable and drink preparers, cooks and servers, their satisfaction in a job well done lasted for only a short time. There was still cleanup to do and then they started getting ready to do it all again two days later for another 64 diners with a completely different menu. Thursday’s fare started with a blackberry bramble mocktail followed by an appetizer of bacon wrapped stuffed dates and a Caesar salad. Basil parmesan chicken with lemon cream sauce and house-made pasta was the main course. Deconstructed tiramisu was for dessert. Both dinners were sold out. Chef Bentz, who also teaches culinary skills at Ivy Tech and is a restaurant consultant, has served as head chef for the Culinary Camp since its inception five years ago. “These students are really cool to work with. They’re like sponges. They listen and a light bulb goes off when they realize how food reacts when heat is applied,”

Kitchen crew members, from left, Jessica Collins, Cheyene Welch, Liberty Moore, Iris Sorrell and Brook Hoffman are ready to start slicing and dicing vegetables for Cornerstone Youth Center’s gourmet dinner June 21. They served 64 diners and then two days later did it all over again for another 64 guests.

Bentz said. “We discussed the importance of cleanliness, proper serving etiquette, and then I showed them how to use cook knives to slice vegetables and then turned them loose. We assigned students to kitchen, drink and serving crews. They learn quickly and follow through nicely and at the end of the day you can’t help but feel good. The menu was planned in advance. Everything was made from scratch by the students. The outcome of their efforts was the best dinner one can buy for just $25.”

According to Sarah Adams, who became executive director of Cornerstone in May, this camp not only teaches culinary skills, but helps students gain teamwork, communication and leadership skills in an actual restaurant atmosphere. “This was the second of our three summer camps,” she explained. “The first one held June 6 through 10 focused on work force development skills and covered preparing a resume, interviewing for a job, making a presentation and developing communication skills.

Middle Waves aims to be destination music festival By Whitney Wright wwright@kpcmedia.com

Middle Waves is bringing national and local music, food, vendors, beverages, art, river activities and more to Fort Wayne as the area’s first destination music festival. Several community leaders felt the area buzzing with an energy capable of more than new restaurants, apartments and sporting events and began developing ideas to take the area to the next level. The accumulation of their ideas and efforts is Middle Waves, an indie, rock ’n’ roll and hip-hop music festival scheduled for Sept. 16-17 at Headwaters Park in downtown Fort Wayne. Middle Waves took root in 2014, when Greater Fort Wayne Inc. took its annual “inter-community visit,” to Des Moines, Iowa. Community leaders in Des Moines harnessed an energy in its city to develop the 80/35 Music Festival in 2007, said Matt Kelley, Middle Waves co-chair and owner of One Lucky Guitar. “80/35 Music Festival in Des Moines is cited as the event in which everyone woke up the next day and felt differently about their community – they felt like they had finally ‘arrived,’” said Alison Gerardot, one of the Middle Waves co-chairs and director of programming and events at Riverfront Fort Wayne. After visiting Des Moines and discussing possibilities for Fort Wayne, community leaders flew Amadeo Rossi, director of 80/35, into Fort Wayne to discuss how the area might create a successful music festival like Des Moines’. Meeting with Rossi provided insights into the process of creating a successful music festival and gave community members confidence in what they were trying to accomplish, Gerardot said. Sweetwater and Parkview’s commitments as title and main stage sponsors, respectively, sealed the deal and festival planning and development was on its way. Middle Waves’ name was chosen from among many suggestions. “We like that it references our rivers, our downtown and our pride in pushing the Midwest a bit closer to the edge, and the rippling and positive impact we feel this festival will make on our community,” Kelley

said. As with any new project, part of the difficulty is funding. Middle Waves is a nonprofit organization and relies heavily on local business’ support and pre-festival ticket sales. The amount of tickets bought on pre-sale influences the amount of money festival planners have available to use and impacts if they can attract betterknown bands and more musical talent, activities and fun for the festival. Middle Waves is currently offering “early bird” pricing. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone and by visiting the Arts Tix box office at the Arts United Center, Kelley said. Tickets are currently $65 for a general admission, two-day ticket and $125 for a VIP weekend pass. “This is to be unlike

to Des Moines’ identity and we’re eager to see Middle Waves do the same for our community,” Kelley said. “We believe Fort Wayne is ready for its own destination music festival and we believe Middle Waves will capture the character of our city, our rivers and our people.” Eight of the 24 bands that have already committed to play on one of the three stages

at Middle Waves include headliner The Flaming Lips, an Oklahoma City band that will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the near future, was recently on the late show with Steven Colbert and is one of Q Magazine’s “50 Bands You Must See Before You Die.” Other bands scheduled are Best Coast, whose singer Bethany Cosentino was on “The

CARS from Page A1 square. It’s all courtesy of Georgetown Square and Sebeika’s Georgetown Subway, in partnership with the Corvette Club. Sebeika does not own a Corvette. “But my folks had Corvettes and my father had a Corvette all of his life,” Sebeika said. “I remember when I was in elementary school, I would go on Corvette rallies with all these people – people that are still part of the club. They’re just a great group of people. So when my father passed away, I wanted to continue some kind of relationship with them and honor [my parents] by creating an event that gives back to the community, and now this year we’re bringing it back to Georgetown Square.” “Jeff is a very strong friend of the club,” said Glenn Claycomb, of Fort Wayne, the club president. Claycomb drives a 1988 metallic gray Corvette. His wife, Jodi, drives a black 2006 Corvette. They exhibit their cars, but they also drive them. “I drive it all the time,” Jodi said. “I love driving it. Mine’s a convertible, so I love taking it for a ride and letting my hair blow in the wind, and no cares in

We just simply want to share them with the community.” He said all generations appreciate the cars, just as he did when he first saw a Corvette. “I think kids today know exactly what they are, but they’re still just as

surprised to see one as we were when we were kids,” he said. The club’s approximately 200 members exhibit often, showing Models C1 to C7, manufactured from 1953 to 2016. Deb Emley and Cris Holman, both of Fort Wayne, toured the cars as they listened to the concert. “We came to hear the band, Renegade, and we live close by and we like to check out the cars,” Holman said. She added that they like to take in every Georgetown Friday concert each summer. “They do an awesome

That includes the fees he collects for dash plates. This year’s income will go to the Georgetown Little League, which serves 500 kids. “We are so happy to be joining with Jeff Sebeika in hosting this event,” Steve Jehl, manager of Georgetown Square, said in a statement. “This wonderful car show is a great addition to our lineup of family-friendly events this summer and we are pleased it will also benefit a great organization, the Georgetown Little League.” Bob Caldwell of Fort Wayne is half of the “Bob Deb” license plate on a white 2015 Stingray. “I ordered it new. It’s a 2015,” he said. He traded in a 2003 model to complete the deal. There’s a story behind the car, he said, and the story starts at Ligonier
