Christmas tradition by the pound By Garth Snow

gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Church halls ﬁll with members and visitors shopping for cookies of every kind. The cookies are shaped like bells or Santas. They taste of lemon or date. They’re covered with frosting or sugar. The cookie walks take on bakers and add new memories each generation, as they raise money for church charities and send homebaked goods on to other homes. Bakers from several local churches shared their stories with this newspaper. The weather was not kind to the Emmaus Women’s Guild Cookie Fair in 2013. The Emmaus Women’s Guild didn’t care. “Our principal said we’re putting in on unless it’s a Level 1 emergency,” Barb Kanning said that snowy Saturday morning. “We have hundreds of people who bake.” “After church services the two Sundays before, I stand by the door and nobody gets by me without

at least one pan or two pans, and then they brought them all in yesterday or last evening, except for a handful who were baking last night,” Kanning said that blustery morning. “The old faithfuls were here by 9 o’clock,” said her friend, Marian Hamilton. Those hundreds will be baking again in preparation for this year’s sale, 9 a.m.noon Saturday, Dec. 13. And to make last-minute

gift-giving even easier, the guild will supply free decorative tins that morning at 8626 Covington Road. Cookie sales and bazaars have been part of the Emmaus tradition since its founding on Broadway in Fort Wayne in 1900. This will mark the church’s eighth Christmas at its new home in Aboite Township. “We used to bring in cut-out cookies and spend a whole day frosting

cookies,” Kanning said. “Gorgeous decorated cut-outs. They went!” Kanning said interest in the cookie walk begins building weeks ahead of the actual sale. “I get emails from my old pals asking ‘when are the cookies?’ ” she said. Judi Ehrhardt and Jo Stinson, both of Fort Wayne, met while ﬁlling their carry-out containers See TRADITION, Page A5

Downtown Fort Wayne will light up the holiday season on Thanksgiving Eve, and then church bells will ring in the season. The sounding of the bells is new this year, said Amita Homco, the Night of Lights event coordinator for the Downtown Improvement District. The collective sound follows the ﬁreworks at Parkview Field. “It’s several churches — eight or nine churches — with First Presbyterian organizing the ringing of the bells,” Homco said. “The Night of Lights is a staple. It’s the biggest thing for us. We get 10,000-plus people downtown,” Homco said. “We get lots of people in Fort Wayne who want to make sure it’s going to be happening and just checking in, ‘When is the Night of Lights? When is Holly Trolley shopping?’ People are really excited about making time for their holiday tradition.” The Christmas wreath

at the University of Saint Francis Performing Arts Center, 431 W. Berry St., will be illuminated at 5:15 p.m., to the accompaniment of singers. Crowds also gather to see: Aunt Millie’s Northern Lights, Pearl Street; Santa and his Reindeer at PNC, Main and Calhoun streets; and Wells Fargo Holiday Display and Indiana Michigan Power Christmas wreath at Indiana Michigan Power Center, formerly known as One Summit Square. “It’s also a really nice night because the courthouse is open. You’re allowed to bring your camera and your phone in and take pictures inside the courthouse,” Homco said. “The lighting and having cocoa and walking around, the ﬁreworks — that is probably the biggest holiday fest that we have. It really kicks off the season and gets us in the Christmas spirit.” That spirit continues in events that follow.

We just couldn’t have the show,” said Chris Palmer, the director of volunteers for

AWS Foundation. “He’s done all the refurbishing.” Stuerzenberger, in turn, passed on a large share of the credit to Craig Schmidt, an AWS Foundation employee. Lynne Gilmore is the executive director of the AWS Foundation. “The event raises money to support grant-making, and it also brings awareness about disabilities,” she said. Gilmore said the event has grown tremendously since

About 15,000 visitors will begin arriving at the 20th annual Fantasy of Lights in Franke Park on Nov. 26. Dan Stuerzenberger has been working on the 32,000-bulb display for a month. Actually, he’s been helping to maintain the 71-feature display for 15 years. “We started this year, Oct. 8, bringing stuff onto the grounds,” the volunteer said. “It’s an everyday procedure. We work really closely with the [Allen County] Community Corrections. They help us set up the displays, and they’re just a really good group.” Stuerzenberger’s wife, Linda, is now retired from AWS Foundation, which sponsors and beneﬁts from the Fantasy of Lights. Dan

Many families visit the Festival of Trees at Thanksgiving and many families bring their children year after year to Breakfast with Santa,” Kelly Updike, Embassy Theatre executive director, said in a news release. “The theatre is beautifully decorated for the holidays and families who attend the breakfast can enter the Festival of Trees early, which provides them an excellent photo opportunity.” Santa and Mrs. Claus lead the children and their families down the aisle to the stage where Santa’s elves greet them.

with Santa and post them on the plaza’s Facebook page.” Anyone posting a photo will be eligible for a drawing, which will award four $50 gift certificates to Covington Plaza shops. “Selfies are a popular thing now,” Eddington said. Wine & Canvas will host the children’s ornament project. The first 50 children to sign up between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. will be eligible for the free 2 p.m. class. “We also are one of the hosts for the Toys for Tots, so we are encouraging our customers and visitors to bring new, unwrapped toys and help out the community,” Eddington said. Toys should be dropped off at Wine & Canvas. Each toy donor will receive a chance to win one of five $100 gift certificates in a 2 p.m. drawing. The plaza’s 30 stories will support Small Business Saturday in some way. “All of the stores that are participating will offer specials such as cookies or demonstrations or samples of their products,” Eddington said. Heartland singers will portray the strolling carolers, dressed in clothing from the era of Charles Dickens. “Go store to store, and be entertained, and help promote and keep our small businesses in the community going,” Eddington said. Eddington said Covington Plaza features one-of-a-kind shops, and local owners. “This is part of our way to pay back the community,” she said of the free activities. “There will be a lot going on, and the stores will decorate for the holidays,” Eddington said. “Everything is free,” Eddington said. “It’s from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., but most of the stores will be open longer.”

that cold day last year. Both attend church elsewhere; both shop at Emmaus each December. “I come here every year just because it’s so close to home. I’m a cookie-holic. And I don’t bake at home,” Ehrhardt said. Her favorite? The cut-outs. “I come every year, too,” Stinson said. “It’s just a tradition. I look forward to it. I do bake, but I get a variety here that is just great. I like the lemon drops, and I like the almond ones and I like them all.” Free decorative Christmas tins will be available. Holiday cookies and other favorites will be available by the pound. Sugar-free and gluten-free cookies also will be available. December has a warm place in Maryann Kummer’s heart. As she bakes date pinwheel cookies for church friends and strangers, she shares the work, cookies and memories with her grandchildren. She and about three other members of Christ’s United Methodist Church in Roanoke will bake enough cookies to ﬁll several tables for a cookie walk the morning of Saturday,

Dec. 13. “I probably bake six or seven different kinds of cookies,” she said. She bakes Thursday and Friday of the annual cookie week, to ensure that cookies are fresh when the public visits the church on Saturday. “I always have my grandkids come in, and we also bake for the family,” she said. “My oldest grandchild will be 27, so I’ve been doing that for 25 years.” Kummer has been associated with the church at 148 W. Third St. since 1948. She said Sunday attendance averages about 20. “I enjoy doing it,” she said of her share in the church fundraiser. “Moneywise, we can use it.”

So after two days of baking, Kummer and her friends take their work to the church. “We bring in cookies on Friday evening, and we set up tables,” she said. Then the public will visit the church starting at 9 a.m. Saturday. The advertised ending time is noon. The actual ending time is whenever the last cookies are carried from the building. The church will furnish containers and gloves for handling the cookies, which will be sold by the pound. If visitors arrive early enough, they might ﬁnd Kummer’s date pinwheels. She can recite the recipe. “You’ve seen cakes rolled up?” she said. “Well you do the dough and let it set

out, and I usually put it into the refrigerator for a day or so. And you cook your dates and you roll out your dough, and you put your dates in your dough and roll it up like a jelly roll. And then I put mine in the freezer, and they get solid where you can cut it really easily with an electric knife. You bake them. And that’s your date pinwheel.” Goodies for God has replaced the Cookies for Christ fundraiser at an Aboite Township school. The project’s name

changed because the school itself has a new name this year. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton School at 10650 Aboite Center Road serves preschool through grade eight. The former Saint Elizabeth-Saint Joseph School shared programs and two campuses. The expanded Seton School is independent this year. Principal Lois Widner said this year’s fundraiser will beneﬁt the Women’s Care Center. Cookies are sold individually, for 25-cents each. Last year’s ﬁrst-grade class led the

school in sales, taking in $1,063.71 by selling 4,254 cookies to students, faculty, staff and families. St. Joseph United Methodist Church will see Deb Tubergen and the United Methodist Women holding their 10th cookie walk since the tradition began 11 years ago. This year’s sale will be 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6. The church is at 6004 Reed Road, at the corner of St. Joe Center Road. Volunteers will bake See TRADITION, Page A6

more than 5,000 cookies for the fundraiser. Some of the cookies might go to charity. But charity, after all, is the whole reason for the project. â€œWe fund Bible studies,â€? Tubergen said. â€œAnd we help kids go to camp who wouldnâ€™t be able to otherwise. Just any need of the church.â€? The project begins many days before the sale. â€œWe baked 1,080 cookies in our church one Monday, and we freeze them, and we take them out the week of the Cookie Walk, and we have the most talented people deco-

Festival of Trees opens Thanksgiving Eve The Embassy Theatre Festival of Trees will open to the public from 6-9 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 26, during the downtown Night of Lights. Each year, businesses and organizations sponsor lights to decorate both ﬂoors of the historic theatre at 125 W. Jefferson Blvd. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for children 4-12. Chil-

dren ages 3 and under are admitted free, but need a ticket; please see the box office. Tickets are available at the Embassy box office, (800) 745-3000, and at ticketmaster.com. Box office hours are Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. During the Night of Lights, the Embassy will unveil the Harrison Street

animated holiday windows. The Embassy welcomed individuals and groups to decorate the windows for the 2014 season. Decorators received speciﬁc guidelines. “We can’t wait to see what ideas people may have for our windows,” said Kelly Updike, Embassy executive director.

“These windows are reminiscent of the holidays in downtown Fort Wayne when locally owned department store Wolf and Dessaur would unveil beautiful decorated windows for Christmas that showcased animated elves, Santa and other holiday characters in a winter or holiday scene. Lines of people would stream down the sidewalk

to take in all the magic,” the Embassy said in a news release. In 2009, the Embassy Theatre, with the help of Fort Wayne Metals, brought back these magical windows utilizing some of the original W & D animated characters. Through the hard work and expertise of Corner House owners David and

Kathy James, the animated holiday windows became a holiday favorite once again for Fort Wayne. Festival of Trees hours continue through Dec. 3.

• Sunday, Dec. 21, 2 and 5 p.m.: “The Spirit of Christmas” from the Allen County Courthouse, 715 S. Calhoun St. Tickets for all Heartland concerts are available at ArtsTix Community Box Ofﬁce (ArtsTix.org, 422-4226) or by phone from Heartland (436-8080). “Messiah” tickets are $30 for premiere seating, $20 for general admission, and

$10 for Passport admission seats and students. Passport pricing is available to patrons who donate $250 or more each year to Heartland. “Spirit of Christmas” tickets are $10 for general admission, and $5 for Passport admission or students. Robert Nance, Heartland’s president and artistic director, said presenting “Messiah” with digitally

enhanced voices and instruments is the type of forward-looking production that Handel would have done himself had he lived in the 21st century. “In his day,” Nance noted, “Handel enthusiastically endorsed and applied techniques that were considered cuttingedge for his time. We’re continuing that concept with ‘Digital Messiah,’ ” Nance concluded.

Financial Focus

Prepare Far Ahead for Long-term Care Costs November is Long-Term Care Awareness Month – a month dedicated to educating the public about the need to prepare for the potentially devastating costs of long-term care. And the more you know about these expenses, the better prepared you will be to deal with them. To begin with, just how expensive is long-term care? Consider this: The average cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $87,000 per year, according to the 2014 Cost of Care Survey produced by Genworth, a ﬁnancial-services company. And the average cost of an assisted living facility, which provides a level of care that is not as extensive as that offered

by a nursing home, is $42,000 per year, according to the same Genworth study. All long-term care costs have risen steadily over the past several years, with no indication that they will level off. Many people, when they think about long-term care at all, believe that Medicare will pay these costs — but that’s just not the case. Typically, Medicare only covers a small percentage of long-term care expenses, which means you will have to take responsibility. Of course, if you are fortunate, you may go through life without ever needing to enter a nursing home or an assisted living facility, or even needing help from a home health-care aide. But given the

costs involved, can you afford to jeopardize your ﬁnancial independence — or, even worse, impose a potential burden on your grown children? To prevent these events, you will need to create a strategy to pay for long-term care expenses — even if you never incur them. Basically, you have two options: You could self-insure or you could “transfer the risk” to an insurer. If you were going to self-insure, you would need to set aside a considerable sum of money, as indicated by the costs mentioned above. And you would likely need to invest a reasonably high percentage of this money in growth-oriented investments. If you chose this

self-insurance route, but you never really needed a significant amount of long-term care, you could simply use the bulk of the money for your normal living expenses during retirement and earmark the remainder for your estate. However, if did need many years of nursing home care, you could end up going through all your money. As an alternative, you could transfer the risk of paying for long-term care to an insurance company. Many plans are available these days, so, to find the choice that is appropriate for your needs, you will want to consult with a professional financial advisor. Here’s a word of caution, though: The premiums for this type of protection

rise pretty rapidly as you get older, so, if you are considering adding this coverage, you may be better off by acting sooner, rather than later. None of us can know with certainty what the future holds for us. Ideally, you will always remain in good shape, both mentally and physically, with the ability to take care of yourself. But, as you’ve heard, it’s best to “hope for the best, but plan for the worst.” So, take the lessons of Long-Term Care Awareness Month to heart and start preparing yourself for every scenario.

LIGHTS from Page A1 its debut in 1995. Each arrangement â€” whether a rocking horse or a Nativity scene â€” was donated. â€œWe have several displays purchased and sponsored by families who had loved ones with disabilities, who have chosen to memorialize their loved ones in this way,â€? Gilmore said. The display should be in place and ready for testing a week ahead of opening night, Stuerzenberger said. Dan and Linda then will contribute in another role right through closing night on Dec. 31. â€œWe work the ticket booth every Friday and Saturday night,â€? he said. â€œWe do this together out there.â€? Stuerzenberger said the conversion to LED lighting has cut the electrical costs. The switch began about ďŹ ve years ago, and was complete before the 2013 season, he said. â€œIt is working out fantastic,â€? he said. â€œIt has cut our bills probably by a third.â€? The initial investment was costly, he said. â€œBut these bulbs donâ€™t break like the glass ones.â€? â€œThe LEDs made the displays pop, especially at night, and then when the snow falls itâ€™s something to see,â€? said Palmer, who also began working on the Fantasy of Lights several weeks in advance. â€œItâ€™s beautiful, beautiful work.â€? â€œChanging over to the

LED lights has really transformed the whole event,â€? said Gilmore, the executive director, â€œbecause the quality of the lighting is so intense, and the LED lighting picks up so many more details of the display.â€? In addition to the bulbs, the trail includes thousands of feet of rope lighting, she said. As director of volunteers, Palmer recruits the individuals and organizations responsible for greeting visitors and taking the admission money. â€œI have been working on it for almost three weeks,â€? she said. â€œIâ€™m busy coordinating and calling and ďŹ nding dates and getting people on the calendar.â€? â€œWe have a few more slots,â€? she said. Anyone interested in volunteering may call Palmer at 207-5769. Palmer said she has been coordinating the volunteers list for about ďŹ ve years. The need for volunteers varies by evening, including about six to eight people each night Sunday through Thursday and at least 10 to 15 volunteers

on the busier Friday and Saturday nights. Greeters have a place to warm up. â€œItâ€™s called a little Christmas house, right out front, where volunteers can gather,â€? Palmer said. A concessions trailer keeps hot chocolate, coffee, cookies and more available to volunteers. Holiday music ďŹ lls the greeting area. â€œIf theyâ€™re really in the holiday spirit, I have Santa Claus and elf outďŹ ts ready to put on and give candy to the kids,â€? she said. â€œEach volunteer will receive a free admission pass in appreciation for their time,â€? Palmer said. She invited everyone to â€œbring their parents, bring their friends, co-workers, and just drive through, take their time and enjoy the festivities.â€? Palmer said special guests will open the festival at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 26. â€œSanta and Mrs. Claus will ride through the park in a horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by some very special kids and their families, who will help Santa turn on the lights,â€? Palmer said.

Many of the Fantasy of Lights displays follow religious themes. Displays also include penguins playing on an iceberg, and skaters on a pond.

â€œAt least two generations of families have enjoyed the Fantasy of Lights,â€? Gilmore said. â€œSo we have youngsters who went through it who are now adults, and some who were teenagers who are now

bringing their families to the Fantasy of Lights.â€? The Festival of Lights has raised more than $600,000 since 1995. AWS Foundation is a not-for-proďŹ t grant-making foundation supporting

This annual event will include music, guest speakers, and refreshments and the lighting of an evergreen tree outside the historic station at 221 W. Baker St. in downtown Fort Wayne. Hundreds of twinkling lights, shining bright in memory of loved ones, will adorn the tree throughout the holiday season.

Christmas at the Capitol invites Canterbury choir By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

A carpenter’s shop and other scenes typical of Bethlehem will be dramatized for the Christ Child Festival, Nov. 29 and 30 at Franke Park.

Franke Park becomes Bethlehem By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

The manger is moving to the park for Christmas 2014. The 64th Christ Child Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 29 and 30, at Franke Park. Hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. each day. All activities are free.

Volunteers will re-create the streets of Bethlehem in tents, a pavilion and the outdoor setting of the park at 3411 Sherman Blvd. A 30-x-75 tent will house shepherds and sheep, and eight shops such as carpenters and bakers. “And then at the other end of the tent is where baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph and

the donkey will be,” said Judi Hapke, Christ Child Festival publicist. The Christ Child Festival ﬁrst was held at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in 1951, and moved downtown to the University of Saint Francis Performing Arts Center in 2013. The new, outdoor setting will accommodate

re-enactors and a herd of animals consistent with the Bethelem of the Bible. The three camels, a donkey and six Jacob’s four-horn sheep will be provided by a ranch in southern Indiana. Other animals are courtesy of the DeKalb County Horsemen’s Asso-

The Canterbury High School chamber choir has been invited to sing Saturday, Dec. 6, at Christmas at the Capitol in Indianapolis. It’s just part of a big weekend for Canterbury singers. “We will be doing a small set for the governor,” said Elizabeth Patterson, who directs the middle and high school choirs and the Chamber Singers. “We will see the Statehouse in its holiday glory.” This year’s audition-only Chamber Singers includes eight girls and eight boys. Canterbury was invited to perform for Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Indiana ﬁrst lady Karen Pence at the inaugural Christmas at the Capitol in 2013, but hazardous travel conditions caused that event to be canceled. The 2014 celebration will follow the same format as the program planned in 2013, with eight choirs from Indiana invited to

participate over two days. “It’s just an honor to be one of a handful of choirs selected,” Patterson said. “And it’s going to be a busy weekend, because our Christmas at Trinity concert is Sunday.” That event begins at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 611 W. Berry St. Admission is free. Canterbury was located at the downtown church when the school was founded in 1977. “It’s a tradition. Trinity is where Canterbury began,” Patterson said. The children’s choir from the lower school and ensembles from the middle school and high school will participate. “We will be singing all holiday music at the Trinity Church concert, and it will be mostly sacred music.” “The children’s choir from the lower school will combine with the high school concert choir for one song, and that’s the ﬁrst time for that,” Patterson said. Kristin Marquell directs See CHOIR, Page B2

It’s also special to be part of a Canterbury tradition.” “It’s thought of as kind of a homecoming,” Wayne Peterson, Trinity’s music director, said of Canterbury’s visit to the church.

A recorded narration will explain various stops on the tour of Bethlehem. “It’s hard to ﬁnd enough people to do the speaking parts,” Hapke said. The popularity of an outdoor setting is evident in the success of the Christkindlmarket in Chicago, according to Hapke. “If they can do it in the Windy City, we can do it here,” she said. “Free parking really helps,” she added. The re-creation of the Bethlehem scene is not only entertaining but educational, Hapke said. “A third of today’s youth

Local winery takes honors in California Two-EE’s Winery earned honors at the International Wine Channel TV Awards. Two-EE’s Winery is on U.S. 24 west of Roanoke. Judging took place in September in Santa Rosa, Calif. Two-EE’s competed with wineries from around the country, including Napa’s own vineyards. The local winery’s honors included the Rising Star Winemaker Award, which went to head winemaker and co-owner Eric Harris, for the second year in a row. Two-EE’s was also awarded the Double Gold and Best of Class for their newest release, Barreja, as well as Silver for its signature Indiana white wine, Traminette, and a Bronze for another new addition to their red wine lineup, Primitivo. For more information, contact co-owner Emily Harris at 672-2000. About Barreja (or “blend” in the Catalan language), Eric Harris said, “It’s an exceptional wine. Our friends and customers have been asking for a semi-dry red, and Barreja is the answer. It’s a red wine that has easily earned its place next to our varietals.” Barreja is expected to be on sale in the coming weeks, along with their holiday offering, CranApple.

Aqua Indiana sale is approved The city of Fort Wayne has cleared a hurdle toward acquiring Aqua Indianaâ€™s water system in southwest Allen County. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved the proposed sale on Oct. 22, the city said in a statement. As part of the deal, city leaders will pay Aqua Indiana $50.1 million for the southwest service and

to settle a legal dispute concerning the $16.9 million the city paid to buy Aqua Indianaâ€™s operations in northwest Allen County in 2008. The sale now moves into closing proceedings, which could take about a month, the city said. When completed, Aqua Indianaâ€™s more than 12,000 southwest customers will immediately become City

Utilities customers and begin receiving water bills from the city. Those customers are expected to pay less for city water, while current customers wonâ€™t see any changes in their bills. When the sale closes, City Utilities crews will begin converting Aqua Indianaâ€™s system to provide city water. The process will take about one year.

Relaxation is in season.

Holiday Magic gets town in festive spirit The Monroeville Chamber of Commerce has added more activities for the seventh annual Monroeville Holiday Magic, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6. Activities include events for both young and old. “Holiday Magic started as an evening event downtown with Santa and Mrs. Claus in a gazebo and

carolers singing nearby,” said Shawn Norris, the creator and coordinator of the event. “Several business owners stayed open late and offered holiday specials. Over the past few years we have added the trolley, Gingerbread House Contest and craft shows. We were also able to coordinate with Cornerstone Youth Center’s Cookie Walk and Poinsettia

Sale,” Norris said in a news release. As in the past, the trolley will be back to offer free rides to those who attend. Holiday guests can board the trolley at any of the event locations, and enjoy the holiday music during their ride to the next stop. The trolley will continue to make the loop, stopping at each event, approximately

every 25 minutes. There is no admission charge to any of the events. The event locations and details are: Park pavilion for a visit with Santa, activity table for kids 12 and under, and a craft show; History museum, open for visitors, and an activity table for kids 12 and under; Fire station, with kids’

games along with an activity table for kids 12 and under, and the Gingerbread House Contest will be on display; Monroeville United Methodist Church, with a craft show and an activity table for kids 12 and under, along with complimentary coffee and hot chocolate; and Cornerstone Youth Center, with the cookie

Long-term care insurance may help protect you and your family. You cherish your loved ones. That’s why it’s so important to help protect them from ﬁnancial burden if you should require in-home assistance or a nursing home stay. Edward Jones offers a variety of long-term care insurance policies that may help cover the continually rising costs associated with this type of care. It’s important to know that, generally, health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid may not cover all types of long-term care.

Headley helps Youtheatre Heather Headley, whose stage career has taken her from Northrop High School to Broadway and London, will visit Fort Wayne on Saturday, Nov. 8, for the 80th anniversary fundraiser for Fort Wayne Youtheatre. The evening of song and conversation begins at 7 p.m., at Grand Wayne Convention Center, 120 W. Jefferson Blvd. Tickets begin at $100. Call the Artstix box ofﬁce at 422-4226. Headley moved to Fort Wayne at age 15 in 1989 and enrolled in Northrop. She went on to study at Northwestern University, and in 1997 joined the cast of “Ragtime” on Broadway. Headley and husband Brian Musso are the parents of two sons.

Headley

For the full interview with Headley, visit InFortWayne.com and click on the Arts & Culture tab. About her experience at Northrop High School:

“I think my time at Northrop was amazing. I am grateful for Northrop. “I arrived at Northrop one week before my 16th birthday. I remember

when they told me that I was going to be going to Northrop High School and I was not necessarily happy. I wanted to go to another school where somebody I knew was, and I thought, ‘This is so out of the way, and who am I going to know, and this is awful.’ But in the end it became a great friend to me. It became a great place for me to perform.” “Northrop has a soft place in my heart. I’m very grateful for them.” About where she displays her Tony, Grammy and other awards:

“They are in an ofﬁce space. I don’t see them every day. There are days that you need to go see them. You think, ‘You got this; you’re not so bad.’ ”

Blessing of the Pets

University of Saint Francis chaplain the Rev. David Meinzen, top photo, introduces the Blessing of the Pets in honor of Saint Francis. The ceremony was held in front of Brookside, the former Bass Mansion, near the Saint Francis statue facing Spring Street. Dr. Sharon May, right, a university alumna, listens. Pets of all kinds were welcomed. Sister Anita Holzmer, lower photo, gives Saint Francis medals to pet owners. The Oct. 5 ceremony was at least the 15th at the campus, Holzmer said. “The signiﬁcance is that Saint Francis was so in tune with God that he was also in tune with nature and with creatures, and he’s invoked as the patron of ecology,” Holzmer said. “So his care for creation is something we want to emulate.”
