and hungry. The central authorities rule over the land with an iron fist. The citizens must learn to band together, united, in order to create a better world for themselves.” Despite that somber setting, VanPatten said, the show ends on an optimistic note, and the band members embrace it. “They love it,” he said. “Two of the pieces are by the British band Muse. The band members enjoy playing popular music. They’re connecting with it a lot more this year.” The show spans more
than a century of music. Part I is “Desolation” based on “Dies Irae” from Verdi’s “Requiem.” Part II is “Oppression” based on “Fly To Paradise” by Eric Whitacre. Part III is “Revolution” from “Uprising” by Muse. Part IV is “Absolution” from “Resistance” by Muse. The band will perform “Unite!” on Saturday, Sept. 26, in a Mid-States Band Association regional competition at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers, Ind.
Soon after news broke of the cancellation of the Huntertown Heritage Days Festival for 2015, board members of the Huntertown Family Park began more serious discussions about a grand opening celebration for the park, located just off the corner of Woods Road and Old Lima Road in downtown Huntertown. Officially, the first Family Fun Day will take place on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We are gearing up for a big day. We are going to have a lot of things to do,” Dan Holmes, Friends of Huntertown Parks Inc. president, said. “When Heritage Days called us and told us they were canceling out, they asked us if we would like to do something. We had already had something planned.” The festival committee wanted the park board to sponsor something similar
to the festival, Holmes said. “We knew we couldn’t do a 2-3-day thing because we didn’t have enough time. We decided on a one-day grand opening,” he said. While all the details aren’t cemented yet, numerous activities have been planned and posted on the park’s website — huntertownfamilypark.com. Planned events include historical tours of Huntertown on horse-drawn carriages, face painting, sidewalk chalk drawing and balloon animals among other children’s activities, a yoga demonstration, a pumpkin toss, a corn-hole tournament, a visit from Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehab, a vintage car drive-in, and displays from the Huntertown Fire Department. The park board will provide details on future park plans. Additionally, the Miss Huntertown Pageant will kick off the festivities at 10 a.m. Any girls between the ages of 5-19 who live
in the Northwest Allen County Schools district are invited to enter. Registration information, entry forms and sponsorship information can be picked up at Classic Cuts Salon at 14427 Lima Road in the Huntertown Strip Mall or contact pageant director Kara Fralick by phone at (260) 760-2290 or through email at bembleyemily@ yahoo.com. The park committee has set up an event page on Facebook which provides updates. As of Monday afternoon, over 450 people indicated through Facebook that they would be attending the event. “The word is just now starting to get out,” Holmes said. “If there are 400-some, do they come with a husband or wife or kids?” Holmes said that parking for the event is available at Riverside Manufacturing and Precision Laser See FUN, Page A10

The Charger Pride Marching Band is performing “Alchemy” this year. “We’re moving faster than I think we have before,” director Doug Hassell said of the 2015 show. “It’s a different direction, with some new music and some adaptations. I think people will find some recognizable melodies, but it’s fairly complex.” “As the show progresses you will see the color guard dressed in what an alchemist or wizard might wear, and you’ll see these four medicine balls that are put into a giant pot,” Hassell said. Those ingredients represent earth, water, fire and wind. “The idea is

Alzheimer’s Association says 1,200 will join walk The Fort Wayne Walk to End Alzheimer’s will take place on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Parkview Field, 1301 Ewing St. Registration will be at noon, with a ceremony at 1 p.m. and the walk beginning at 1:30 p.m. Walkers will follow either a 1-mile route or a 3-mile route. To start or join a team, visit alz.org/Indiana/ walk. To learn more about the disease and available resources, call (800) 272-3900. The Alzheimer’s Association said the walk is an opportunity for more than 1,200 local participants to learn about dementia and to support the association’s work. A Promise Garden cere-
mony will honor those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. “The need to fight against Alzheimer’s disease is greater than ever,” said Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter Executive Director Heather Hershberger, “and by participating in Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Hoosier communities raise funds to provide care and support services to the more than 110,000 Indiana residents living with Alzheimer’s and 332,000 caregivers. The support also contributes to advancing research that could help find a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.”
“The Alzheimer’s Association doesn’t just provide support to those with Alzheimer’s disease,” said Jim Tamalunas, Fort Wayne resident and caregiver for his wife, Marlene. “They provide groups for those with other forms of dementia, too, and always offer more services and information should we ever need it.” Jim’s wife, Marlene, will be speaking about her experience with aphasia during the event’s opening ceremony. “The Alzheimer’s Association has been a big help for my wife and I in providing support groups and information in such a difficult time,” Tamalunas said.

This piece was prepared for a prayer service at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York on Sept. 24. Hobby composed an arrangement for congregation, choir and orchestra for the hymn “Alleluia, Sing to Jesus� for the papal Mass at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 25. Hobby also was asked to be part of the 200-voice choir. The path to composing for the pope began earlier this year when Jennifer Pascual, director of music at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, contacted Mark Lawson, president of MorningStar

When she learned there were no such arrangements, Lawson suggested a few sacred music composers, including Hobby, some of whose works are published by MorningStar. When Lawson shared the opportunity with Hobby, he jumped at the chance. His goals for both compositions are familiar. “It’s always to help people give glory to God and to help God speak to them through the music,â€? Hobby said. “The difference this time around is that the whole world is watching.â€? Hobby, who has served at Trinity English Lutheran since 1987, oversees a music program that includes ďŹ ve vocal choirs for children, youth and adults, two bell choirs, two steel drum ensembles and a recorders choir.

Lutheran to add new ER INTEGRITY on East State, Coliseum INSURANCE
Lutheran Health Network aims to expand health coverage on Fort Wayne’s northeast side by building a new $10 million free-standing emergency room facility, independent of a hospital, at East State and Coliseum boulevards. This is a ďŹ rst for the city, LHN said in a statement. Plans call for constructing an 8,911-square-foot facility
in the Statewood Plaza retail center, about a mile east of Parkview Health’s Randallia Drive hospital. A nearly 5,400-squarefoot vacant space would be renovated and expanded by about 3,500 square feet to add a new ambulance bay. ER doctors from Lutheran’s hospitals in northeast Indiana and an EMS crew will help staff the new emergency center. Medical services will
include treatment rooms, a large exam space and a decontamination room, as well as the EMS service. The facility is expected to be open 24 hours a day, year-round. “Decreasing the amount of time it takes to receive emergency care, whether that involves less time en route or less time in a waiting room, is part of our commitment to bolstering healthcare experiences for area patients,�
Brian Bauer, LHN’s CEO, said in the statement. The Statewood Plaza site was selected as a point of easy access for residents in the neighborhoods surrounding that intersection. The health network currently covers that area with a RediMed clinic on Maplecrest Road and Lutheran Health Plaza in New Haven. Lutheran physicians and specialists also have ofďŹ ces near the location.

Trinity Episcopal Church, 611 W. Berry St., Fort Wayne, will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the laying of its cornerstone at 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 4. Church music director Wayne H. Peterson has composed special service music for the occasion. Portions of the lyrics to the work have been penned by parishioner Larry GrifďŹ n, associate librarian emeritus of the Helmke Library at IPFW. According to John Beatty, historian for the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana and a member of Trinity, the church was designed by Toledo, Ohio, architect

Charles Crosby Miller. Few of Miller’s buildings remain standing. “The cornerstone laying actually took place in May 1865, a few weeks after President Lincoln’s assassination,â€? said Beatty. “The building was completed in September 1866 but not formally consecrated until 1868, so that the new organ could be in place. “Ours was one of the ďŹ nest ediďŹ ces he ever designed,â€? said Beatty. “It was made with splitfaced sandstone with Indiana limestone trim in a Gothic Revival style that some call ‘French Gothic.’ The stones were
said to have been hauled here by way of the Wabash & Erie Canal.â€? Trinity Episcopal is the third oldest church in downtown Fort Wayne. The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and St. John’s Lutheran are older. However, both of those have been substantially changed, Beatty said. The Rev. Cory Randall, Trinity Episcopal’s rector emeritus, had the church put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, making Trinity one of the ďŹ rst Fort Wayne churches to be so honored.

Originally there were two rose, or round windows, on either side of the building toward the south end, but one was removed to accommodate organ pipes. “Though there have been quite a few changes, much of the church looks close to the way it did in 1866,â€? Beatty said. The Episcopal Church was ďŹ rst organized in Fort Wayne in 1839 and the three Episcopal congregations — Trinity, Grace and St. Alban’s — celebrated this anniversary in 2014 at a joint celebration.

Sales of new homes are up in the Fort Wayne area, and builders will show off their talents the weekends of Sept. 26-27 and Oct. 3-4 at the annual fall Town & Country New Home and Specialty Retail Tour. The scattered site tour sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Fort Wayne features 27 homes, six villas and 10 home building sites ready for new construction. Eighteen specialty vendors will display and discuss their products and services at various locations. Construction of two of the new homes on the tour, in Habitat for Humanity’s Fuller’s Landing subdivision, didn’t begin until Sept. 10. The 10-day “blitz build” brings together professional home builders and subcontractors and hundreds of volunteers to complete the projects. Matt Lancia, of Matt Lancia Signature Homes, estimates 200 people are involved in building each of the two homes. Signature Homes took the lead on one of the houses, and Decatur-based Ideal Homes was the lead on the other. The designs for the
new homes, a 25-percent increase from the same month in 2014. The average value of $260,556 was up 15 percent from an average of $226,810 a year earlier. Homes on the scattered site tour come in a range of floor plans and prices. Admission is free, and hours are noon to 5 p.m. each day of the tour.
Visitors are encouraged to bring non-perishable items to drop off at participating homes to benefit the Associated Churches food bank. The guide to the homes on the tour, including maps and information on homes and builders, is available on the HBA’s website, hbafortwayne. com.

About 200 construction pros and volunteers are involved in building each of the two homes being built for Habitat for Humanity at Fuller’s Landing. The homes will be ready for the Home Builders Association’s annual scattered site tour, which begins Sept. 26.
two homes both come from Habitat’s portfolio and were chosen by their prospective owners, Lancia said. Both are much more typical of the style of homes in other new subdivisions in the area than the homes that Habitat used to build. “They have a lot of curb appeal,” Lancia said. Putting the Habitat homes on the HBA’s tour helps build awareness of what affordable housing, done right, can look like. “It helps bust some of those myths,” said Justin Berger, CEO of Habitat in Fort Wayne. Fuller’s Landing has enough lots to accommo-
date 115 homes. Last year was the first season that houses were built at the subdivision, near the intersection of Huguenard and Cook roads. By the end of this year, 18 families will have moved into finished homes, Berger said. Fifteen builders are taking part in this year’s HBA tour, which includes homes in Fort Wayne, Roanoke, New Haven and Auburn. Many of the homes are models. Home building in the area has not returned to pre-recession levels. For this year, through August, 575 building permits for new homes had been issued in Allen County,

VanPatten said the band’s online presence this year is more inclusive of the overall band program. “The program is more than just marching band, and we didn’t have a web site that reflected that,” he said. Links direct visitors to specific areas of interest, and to invitations to volunteer or contribute. Bruce Schneider serves as BOP assistant director and percussion
director. Holly Lofland directs the color guard. The staff also includes: John Bay, drill designer; Jamie Daniel, color guard dance instructor; Taylor Brinneman, percussion arranger and instructor; Todd Thurber, visual instructor; Nathan Sheetz, percussion instructor; Kelly VanPatten, assistant guard director; and music staff Holden Berlin, Breana Green, Dean Smekens, Dylan Ng and Sam Thomas.

Concordia’s Cadets to play ‘fast and furious’ By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Veteran music arranger Kent Klee composed two original works and arranged the opening music for the Concordia Lutheran High School marching band’s 2016 show. The opener is Klee’s arrangement of “Turbo Scramjet” by William Pitts. “It’s fast and furious music and just a lot of fun to play and exciting to listen to,” said Dianne Moellering, who again directs the Marching Cadets. This year’s
program unites 72 musicians, drum majors and color guard. Brittany Satterthwaite again directs the 20-member guard. Mike Beights again has designed the on-field movements. Anna Werling is the lead drum major. Gabriel Kramer is the junior drum major and also contributes on tuba. “It’s a lot of notes in a short period of time,” Klee said. “Our woodwind section has always been strong, and we’re trying to feature them as well as the brass.” Klee worked with the
same Pitts work last year, in the opener for the Mishawaka Penn marching band show. This year he has done a custom arrangement for Concordia. The band will build on a Bible theme. The show is titled “And the Greatest of These: Faith, Hope and Love.” The Cadets march Saturday, Sept. 26, at the East Noble High School band festival, and Oct. 3 at the Homestead High School Fall Invitational. Competing in Open Class C, the Cadets will enter the Oct. 17 ISSMA Regional
at Chesterton High School. The band will work to advance to the Oct. 31 Semi-State at Decatur Central High School in Indianapolis, and the Nov. 7 state finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. For the first time in several years, Concordia will enter a Bands of America Super Regional, Oct. 24 in Indianapolis. Moellering said the band will not enter the BOA national finals. Concordia is a frequent Class C state finalist, 2012 state runner-up and 2013 state champion.

PRIDE from Page A1 Carroll High School band toward a season finalé Nov. 7 at the Indiana State School Music Association finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Band enrollment continues its steady growth, up to 191 this year, Hassell said. “It’s an interesting group because it’s a huge freshman class, and it’s kind of a small senior class,” he said. “And they’re very teachable, responsive, and they do what you ask of them, and they’re a lot of fun to teach.” The Charger Pride includes 116 on winds, 29 in percussion, and 42 in the guard. Kayla Dietz, Linda Ngo, Dylan Fortney and Rebekah Groeling are the drum majors. Rehearsals have witnessed an incredible attendance, Hassell said. “Usually Thursday nights around 8:30 is when most people show up,” he said. “Anyone’s welcome. It’s kind of advertised for band parents, but everyone’s more than welcome to show up.” Carroll has entered the Bands of America competition again this year. After a BOA regional Oct. 3 in Dayton, Ohio, the band will go to a BOA super-regional Oct. 24 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Sixty-four bands will compete over two days.

Beginning this school year, Dwenger will compete instead in the Central Indiana Track Show Association. “The competition The band will perform Saturday, Sept. 26, in a band festival at Penn High School in Mishawaka, and Oct. 10 at Elkhart Memorial High School.

is all in the summer, but we begin rehearsing next spring break,” Peteck said. The summer 2015 band will be linked to the 2015-16 school year. He said the Indiana State Fair Band Day features CITSA style shows. Many of the bands that compete on Band Day belong to CITSA. “We are giving this a shot because we see
that it is going to boost our enrollment,” he said. “Because we are an academic prep school, we have a high concentration on academics, and the fall band season can be stressful for our students.” He said feedback shows a percentage of students who have an interest in marching but are unable to participate because of academic work or other
school activities. “The ability of our kids has never been a question for us. We have great kids,” Peteck said, adding that the parents also are strong supporters of the music program. He said the question is, “What do we do to make the program bigger, make it easier to take part?” Peteck is in his fifth year at Dwenger. He

The Leo Jr./Sr. High School marching band is “Wiredâ€? for 2015. Bob Myers directs the Roar of the Lions band in a study of four music styles. “The ďŹ rst song is about ‘Ruckus.’ It’s a new tune that just came out, and it’s about the kids getting
wired together,â€? he said. “The second tune is ‘Flight of the Bumblebee.’ “It’s about being wired on caffeine or coffee.

New center to empower women entrepreneurs By Doug LeDuc dleduc@kpcmedia.com
Northeast Indiana Innovation Center was among only half a dozen organizations to win $150,000 in a national Small Business Administration grant competition to fund the creation of a Women’s Economic Opportunity Center. The WEOC will open an office Oct. 1 on the 55-acre Innovation Center campus at Stellhorn and Hobson roads in Fort Wayne. SBA officials will attend an opening celebration on Oct. 5. In addition to counseling and coaching, WEOC will offer help with marketing, legal matters, business planning, management team

development and access to capital. WEOC is a great extension of the Innovation Center’s current service offering, Karl LaPan, NIIC president and CEO, said in a statement, because it helps address “specific challenges with respect to what I call the four M’s of entrepreneurial business building – money, mentorship, markets and management.” The help is needed because studies show women are half as likely to start of business as their male counterparts, they are one third less likely to attract external investment for a business, they have less access to mentors, they face more obstacles managing a work-life balance and, when they found a business, they tend to start it with half as much money, LaPan said in an email. The 2015 Kauffman Entrepreneurial Activity Index ranked Indiana 44th in the nation for its number of startups. The NIIC believes opening WEOC can help increase the number because “women entrepreneurs are a key source of untapped economic growth for our region, state and country,” LaPan said. WEOC will serve women, immigrants and other under served groups in 83 counties because the Indianapolis area has its own organization to address women entrepreneurship needs in Marion and surrounding counties,
said Mike Fritsch, an innovation center entrepreneur in residence. The Innovation Center hired Lisa Gomez-Osborn as the WEOC executive director. After going through a women’s center program that guided entrepreneurs through the process of developing a business plan and starting a business, she helped as a volunteer for a number years to connect other entrepreneurs with the program and walk them through it. Gomez-Osborn founded life coaching startup, and Fritsch expects that background to be extremely helpful because entrepreneurs tend to find their personal lives getting extremely intertwined with their business. WEOC also will provide mentoring, online business decision support tools and export business development help through partnerships with three organizations known for those specialties, Wendy Kennedy International, Mentoring Women’s Network and The Tejara Global Business Development Center. The SBA grant funding WEOC is renewable, and NIIC is putting its own money and resources into funding operations of the new center. Fritsch said the Innovation Center hopes to leverage additional funding sources for WEOC in the future because there are big plans for it.

Sweetwater’s jobs total may reach 1,000 in 2018 Sweetwater Sound Inc. will physically grow again as employment at the Fort Wayne-based company could break the 1,000 mark in about three years. The musical instruments and audio equipment retailer plans to invest $8.8 million over a period of years on expansions, the Indiana Economic
Development Corp. said in a statement. The projects include work to build a 16,000-square-foot addition on to the headquarters on U.S. 30. The new facility will move the company’s marketing department from a nearby annex and place it with the merchan-
dising department. “The plan all along has been to reintegrate that department and combine it with merchandising,” said Christopher Guerin, Sweetwater’s corporate communications vice president. That expansion is also expected to establish a new video studio to
help enhance sales and branding initiatives. Up to 285 new jobs are expected to be created as a result, which would push full-time employment up to 1,000 by the end of 2018. “Sweetwater continues to grow at a remarkable pace,” Chuck Surack, the company’s president and
founder, said in the statement. “In 2014, sales were up by 28 percent over the previous year, and we anticipate similar results for 2015.” Construction on the addition should begin this autumn. The IEDC offered the business $2 million in tax credits and $50,000 in
training grants. Sweetwater’s new project follows the company’s renovation of its music store earlier this year, as well as a 132,000-square-foot expansion that built a new warehouse, a conference hall, more music classrooms and a larger sales department in 2014.

Weekend marks finish line for trainers and athletes By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Fort4Fitness Fall Festival brings athletes to Parkview Field this weekend, to compete in two days of races. The staff of Fleet Feet Sports has been working with clients of Turnstone Center for Children and Adults with Disabilities, to prepare for the eighth annual celebration. “We are the primary sponsor for Team Turnstone, so we help in several ways,” said Kevin Croy, the owner of the store on Coventry Lane on Fort Wayne’s southwest side. Croy said Turnstone Chief Development Officer Ruth Stone approached him about the training project. He said Turnstone works with people of all ages and with varied disabilities. “They help people to adapt to their disability and be able to function as any normal person would be able to do,” Croy said. Fleet Feet helps monetarily and provides training shirts. The company also

provides race shirts to others who support Team Turnstone as part of their entry fee. “It’s amazing,” Croy said of Turnstone. “It’s really a hidden gem for this city, not just for people with disabilities. If you just see what they do, it really touches your heart. We will always be a part of that program.” Ashley Sweasey is one of
seven Fleet Feet employees who have worked with about 12 Turnstone clients this summer. “We meet them on Tuesday and Thursdays at a certain park, and their coaches tell us who we will be with, and we’ll do the loops a couple of times,” she said. The volunteers are on hand to encourage, advise and answer questions. “People love walking with her,” Sweasey said of one client. “She doesn’t do the entire loop, but her personality is fantastic. She’s always talking about getting her coffee at the end of the workout.” Another client sets a pace that challenges most of the trainers, Sweasey said. Athletes come from all ability levels, she said. Some of those athletes will compete in the wheelchair event, while others will run distances up to 10 miles. Sweasey said some of her co-workers have determined to accompany those athletes. “The 4-mile is pretty packed,” she said, “but we want to find them and walk with them.”
Races begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, when kids and seniors complete the final 1.2 miles of their summer marathons. Both races finish at the home plate area. The Fort Wayne Children’s Choir sings the national anthem at 8:10 a.m. Saturday. A Fort Wayne Historical Society cannon signals the start of the 10K Run/
Walk at 7:30 a.m. Saturday. That’s after a 5-minute head start for wheelchairs, multi-race participants and jogging strollers. The half-marathon wheelchair race starts at 8:25 a.m., with the rest of the field answering the cannon at 8:30. The 4-mile run/walk begins in similar fashion at 10:25 and 10:30 a.m. Food will be available
from the TinCaps concessions area from noon-7 p.m. Entertainment is planned throughout the day. For the full schedule, visit fort4fitness.org. The Fort4Fitness Festival Expo continues from noon-8 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday. Croy said business offer sales and prizes. “We always do pretty well with that,” he said.
Wetlands group schedules Frogapalooza fundraiser Local land trust Little River Wetlands Project will host its sixth annual Frogapalooza fundraiser from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23, at Fort Wayne Country Club, 5221 Covington Road. This year’s event, presented by Phillips Financial Services, will celebrate the 25th anniversary of LRWP’s founding. “Our theme is ‘take your imagination for a hike,’” LRWP Executive Director Amy Silva said, “because our founders certainly did that when they started a nonprofit with the mission of restoring some of Indiana’s lost wetlands in our
area.” LRWP now protects almost 1,200 acres, mainly restored wetland nature preserves. Its properties include 716-acre Eagle Marsh in southwest Fort Wayne, the largest urban inland wetland restoration in the U.S. The group also offers free nature education programs that serve thousands of children and adults every year. Frogapalooza will begin with a cash bar, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction with items from hard-to-get sports tickets to entertainment packages to unique nature experiences. After dinner
and a brief presentation on LRWP’s future plans, a live auction will offer one-of-a-kind getaways as well as gourmet experiences and a Lake Erie fishing weekend. Tickets are $100 per person, $800 for a table of eight or $1,000 for a table of 10 Call (260) 478-2515 to pay by credit card or mail a check to LRWP, 7902 Engle Road, Suite 200, Fort Wayne, IN 46804.

A Fort Wayne program that matches tutors with striving students said thank you to both groups. Study Connection kicked off its 27th year with a recognition breakfast. St. Joseph Central Elementary School fifthgrader Victoria Clibon stepped up before the audience at Ceruti’s on Innovation Boulevard to accept the 2015 Don Wolf Outstanding Student Award “Victoria has been a Study Connection student for the last two years at St. Joseph Methodist Church,” said Melanie Hall, the FWCS public affairs director. “She was nominated by her teacher, who said Melanie had a genuine interest in learning and took advantage of the Study Connection to work on math, spelling and writing. “Her teacher said of Victoria, ‘She’s moti-

EACS board considers $74 million for facilities By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
East Allen County Schools district residents are being asked for input on a schools building and renovation undertaking that would cost an estimated $74 million. The finished plan will go to a public hearing on Jan. 19, 2016. If approved by the School Board, it would go to the voters in a May 3 referendum. Superintendent Ken Folks said the project would add about $23 a year to the property tax bill for a house valued at $100,000. The added tax would first be collected in 2017. In a follow-up statement, a district spokesman said such a tax typically would continue for about 20 years. Folks said work would be done in each of the sprawling district’s five attendance areas: Leo, Heritage, New Haven, Woodlan and the former Harding High School area that now is home to EACS-operated East Allen University. Folks outlined the concept in a Sept. 9 press briefing at EACS offices adjacent to New Haven High School. He announced a series of five community meetings in each attendance area to

solicit thoughts on the project. The remaining meeting is 6-8 p.m. Sept. 29 at Woodlan High School. Folks described the meetings as a listening tour. The superintendent said much of the spending will be used to address “functional capabilities” and to ensure school security. The superintendent said the project would include renovating New Haven High School into a Grades 7-12 building. Folks said all other EACS attendance areas have the 7-12 structure, but New Haven still
has a middle school for Grades 6-8. He said the seventh- and eight-graders at other schools have access to upper level courses in those same buildings, and New Haven students need that same opportunity. “That’s what I would call the educational equity of this,” Folks said. He said nine school buildings have staff greeters positioned inside the doorways to make sure visitors are directed to the offices. “A big priority in See EACS, Page B4

A program lost to budget cuts in 2009 was reinstated by the Northwest Allen County School board. NACS is partnering with Parkview Occupational Health Centers Inc. to reinstate the Student Assistance Program. The SAP program provides an on-site counselor for as many as 56 hours per week during the school year to provide personal counseling, clinical documentation and program development, among other duties. “The program is for those who have mental health or guidance counseling types of needs that extend beyond what we provide as a school corporation or there is a need for it to be done in a more private setting without school personnel present,” NACS Superintendent Chris Himsel said. “We’ve been working on it for five years and budget has allowed us to restore it.” The monthly rate starts at
$5,075, however it is also prorated based on the hours of coverage. Counseling service needed on an urgent basis is provided for $125 an hour. Parkview is required to provide quarterly review reports that indicate the amount of counseling being provided, however no individual data will be disclosed. Himsel said that topics outside of normal counseling provided by the district include abuse issues, drug issues and divorce. Parents must sign off before a student can participate. Both programs are approved retroactively to July 1 and are good for two years. “Fortunately, it’s used very rarely, but for those who need it, it’s a very important resource,” Himsel said. “We are lucky that it is used rarely, and hopeful it is used rarely, but we are glad to be able to have the resource available for those who need it.”

Foundation grants $526,000 for riverfront projects The board of the Community Foundation
of Greater Fort Wayne has approved $526,000
in grants for projects related to riverfront
development in downtown Fort Wayne. The funding will be used for demolition and site preparation of a key parcel of property, as well as a feasibility study for a potential riverfront project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These grants will provide a significant boost to our riverfront development efforts,â&#x20AC;? said Deputy Mayor Karl Bandemer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will help lay the groundwork for some very exciting future projects.â&#x20AC;? One grant, for $500,000, will be awarded to the Fort Wayne Downtown Development Trust for demolition and site preparation of property located at the northeast corner of Harrison and Superior streets. The site will be available for
parking and other uses until the eventual development on the property is determined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a project of this magnitude, first steps are the hardest. The Community Foundation is pleased to provide significant funding to get the project under way. Demolition of a non-functional property will provide open views to our rivers, parking for riverfront events and overall excitement with seeing the project beginning to take shape,â&#x20AC;? said David Bennett, executive director of the Community Foundation. The second grant, for $26,000, was awarded to the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society. The money will help fund a feasibility study for Headwaters Junction,
a historic train operation center. The study will determine such items as the cost of the facility, potential revenue and expenses, and the economic impact of the proposed tourist rail and freight car operations. The grants were reviewed by the Summit Initiatives Foundation, a supporting organization of the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne, and approved by the Community Foundation board on Aug. 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to be able to support this transformational project,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Rupp, board chairperson of the Community Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This represents only part of our $3 million commitment to the riverfront development efforts.â&#x20AC;?

Celebrating the life-changing power of accessibility.
In 1990, our country took a giant step forward when the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law. While there is still work to be done, the ADA has put education, transportation, employment and many other aspects of daily life within reach for people with disabilities. At the AWS Foundation, our mission is to help children and adults with enduring intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities live as independently as possible, be included in the community and function at their highest potential. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the ADA, we’ve launched a year-long campaign that highlights the accomplishments of just a few of the remarkable people in our community who are determined not to let their disabilities hold them back.
