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.

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

Parents can visit their child’s school from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Friday or from noon-7 p.m. Monday to get ready for the new school year.

Current families who take advantage of the online early registration between June 20-July 12 will be able to access the Rapid Registration line to get through in-school registration faster.

In-school registration is still required to process address verification, as well as provide student IDs, PTA sign-up, year-

book and PE uniform orders and other services that are not yet available online.

Families who are new to the district are asked to go to the new Family and Community Engagement Center, 230 E. Douglas Ave., to register.

Families unable to attend the scheduled registration dates can contact their child’s school to make other arrangements prior to the first day of school, which is Monday, Aug. 15.

When attending in-school registration, parents are asked to bring a photo ID and two docu-

ments showing proof of residency to registration.

Documents accepted include: • Letter or check from any governmental agency, attorney or court papers; • Letter or card from Allen County Office of Family and Children Services; • Paycheck or Social Security benefits; • Medical doctor, dentist or eye doctor statements; • Established bank account statement (not a newly established account or bank papers indicating you have changed your address with them);

Handwritten leases or those printed from the internet are not acceptable.

For additional infor-

mation or to see school supply lists, visit fortwayneschools.org.

Fort Wayne Community Schools has opened the Family & Community Engagement Center in the former Construction Trades Building, 230 E. Douglas Ave. The new center is a one-stop shop for families entering Fort Wayne Community Schools or needing assistance accessing community resources. The center combines: Student & Family Support Services, which handles enrollment, school choice lottery and student placement;

Community Programs, which operates Study Connection, oversees volunteer screening and coordinates FWCS-based scholarships; and pre-K through 12th grade alternative programming, college and career readiness and athletics. The building will also house an on-site health clinic to assist families with immunizations, physicals and vision and hearing screenings.

Daily hours are 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m., with extended hours on Wednesdays until 7 p.m. The center will also be open one Saturday each month starting with July 30.

On that day, the center will be open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

“We cultivate rela-

tionships,” said Debra Faye Williams-Robbins, chief officer of Family and Community Engagement. “This center will be a place where families, whether they are new to the district or have been with us for years, can find the resources they need to enhance their children’s education.”

A Community Advisory Board made up of representatives from a variety of organizations that already provide services to families will assist in ensuring the center provides the support that families really need.

“Opening this center is the result of many years of examining how we support families and how

we could better serve our community,” Superintendent Wendy Robinson said. “Many people do not realize all the services we provide – from picking a school for your child to helping access special education or English language programs to preparing for college or a career.”

While new families will visit the center first to enroll their children in district schools, it is not designed just for new families.

Current families may visit the center for sports physicals, for help in finding a program that fits a students’ particular interest or talent or to attend a college or career-planning event.

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 spon-

sors, 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 better-known bands and more musical talent, activities and fun for the festival.

Middle Waves is currently offering “early bird” pricing. Tickets can See WAVES, Page A6

Five local students earn 4-year Lilly scholarships 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.

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.

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 Daily Show with Trevor Nash;” Doomtree from Minneapolis; Sidewalk Chalk from Chicago; JEFF the Brotherhood, composed of brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall, from Nashville; and local bands Metavari, Heaven’s Gateway Drugs and Either/ Or.

“80/35 has become an event that is intrinsic to Des Moines’ identity and we’re eager to see Middle Waves do the same for our community,” Kelley said.

STARS from Page A1 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-nun-ci-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 community theater.

“I think we put out a good product,” he said of FWSMT. “We have hardworking kids, and I’m lucky to hire hardworking people on my production staff that put out a good product. 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. Educa-

tion 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 Rivers Festival. “We march in the parade, and we are part of their advertising, too,” Volz said.

CARS from Page A1 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.

Fort Wayne Corvette Club President Glenn Claycomb drives a 1988 metallic gray Corvette. His wife, Jodi, drives a black 2006 Corvette. Both exhibit at car shows, but say the whole point of owning a Corvette is to drive it.

PHOTOS BY GARTH SNOW

When Bob Caldwell graduated from Ligonier High School in 1963, he told his friends that someday he would buy a brand new Corvette. He made good on the promise with a 2015 Stingray.

“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 the world.”

“I think you would find that most of the members in this club realize that these cars were built for a reason, and that reason was to drive them and that’s what we do with them,” Glenn said. “We also understand and realize that we are greatly blessed

to have these cars. 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 job over here. We’re really happy that they do this. It’s awesome and

Sebeika, the sponsor of the upcoming car show, said he donates all proceeds to a charity.

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 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 High School with his Class of 1963. “When I was a senior in high school, I told my buddies ‘One day I’m gonna buy a new Corvette.’ And they all kind of giggled,” he said. “And so I finally accomplished it and these are the same guys I played golf with two

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 childrensmuseums.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.

all for One theater group leader Henderson retires Sharon Henderson retired June 30 after a 24-year career with the local faith-based theater company known as all for One Productions.

Henderson and four others formed all for One in 1992. The repertory company traveled to retreat centers, Christian colleges, churches and corporate settings to perform original dramas in support of those organizations’ spiritual goals.

An interim leadership team of two board and two staff members will manage the affairs of all for One during the 2016-2017 season during the transi-

tion to a new executive director.

For details on the nonprofit arts organization, visit allforonefw.org.

In 2002, Henderson led all for One off the road to become a Fort Waynebased theater company offering family-friendly plays to local audiences.

She found a home stage for all for One in 2007 when the newly remodeled Allen County Public Library included an auditorium in its expanded facility. In 2015, Henderson negotiated a contract with Arts United to present its plays on the stage of the PPG ArtsLab Theater in

the Auer Center for Arts and Culture.

In 2005, Henderson initiated “Character Henderson Counts,” a company of primarily homeschooled high school students who perform character education dramas in elementary school assembly settings, to address issues such as cheating and bullying.

Over the next several years, these dramas were seen by thousands of schoolchildren in Allen, Wells and Huntington

Fort Wayne awards aid to 10 nonprofit agencies The city of Fort Wayne awarded grants to 10 local non-profits from the city’s federal Community Development Block Grant dollars.

Approximately $360,000 will be available to help low- and moderate-income residents with shelter, basic needs, employment skills and youth development.

Mayor Tom Henry made the announcement at Wellspring Interfaith Social Service’s Clothing Shoppe, which, along with the Wellspring Food Bank, will be supported by CDBG dollars.

“It’s important for our community to work together to make a meaningful difference for individuals and families in need of opportunities for a better future,” Henry said.

“Fort Wayne is fortunate to have so many deserving organizations committed to enhancing services and possibilities moving forward.”

This year, the following non-profits will receive grants: • Boys and Girls Clubs of Fort Wayne – Passport to Manhood, mentoring program for at-risk boys and young men; • BrightPoint – Language Services Network, a program providing translation services for immigrants and refugees; • Catholic Charities – Your Journey Together, a program to mentor families living in shelters; • Just Neighbors Interfaith Homeless Network – Resource coordinator for families in need of shelter; • Literacy Alliance – pre-GED and HSE, a program providing instruction for adults whose reading level measures below fifth grade; • Lutheran Social Services – Lasting Stability and Success for Individuals, a program providing comprehensive training and coaching for those who are unemployed or underemployed;

• Mental Health America of Northeast Indiana – Wellness Recovery Action Plan, a program helping individuals living in permanent supportive and transitional housing manage mental illness and/ or addiction; • SCAN – Courtyard Services for Youth Aging Out of Foster Care, a program supporting an overnight case manager to provide Courtyard residents life skills training); • Wellspring – Food bank and Clothing Shoppe,

and; • YWCA – Employment services to empower the homeless living in transitional or crisis shelters.

The City receives CDBG dollars annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents. A committee of area social service professionals helps score the grant applications and makes recommendations on funding.

counties.

In 2008, Henderson led all for One to initiate a Young Playwrights Festival, which first trains young writers to pen plays and then judges the dramas written in four age categories and stages the winning and runner-up plays in each age division. This past May witnessed the eighth annual Young Playwrights Festival.

Artistic Director and all for One co-founder Lauren Nichols oversees the staging of community theater plays. Technical director Jeff Salisbury

handles sound, lighting and other technical aspects of productions. Director of Educational Programming Megan Arnold manages Character Counts and the Young Playwrights Festival. Administrator Stacey Kuster oversees day-to-day operations.

Home Stage Productions has announced the next year’s schedule of “excellent, thought-provoking and family-friendly plays” for all for One productions.

All performances will be given at the PPG ArtsLab Theater, 300 E. Main St, Fort Wayne. The schedule

includes: “Freud’s Last Session,” Sept. 16-18 and 23-25; “The Wind in the Willows,” Nov. 4-6 and 11-13; William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” Feb. 17-19 and 24-26, 2017; and “A Wrinkle in Time,” April 28-30 and May 5-7, 2017.

Friday and Saturday curtain is 7:30 p.m.

Sunday matinee curtain is 2:30 p.m. Season ticket information, play descriptions, audition instructions and details of the nonprofit arts organization can be found at allforonefw.org, or call (260) 745-4364.
