Grabill Country Fair fun Festival packs crafts, contests and music into three days By Lucretia Cardenas lcardenas@kpcmedia.com
The roughly 1,000 residents of a “friendly little town” north of Fort Wayne know how to put on a party – it’s been doing so since
1973. The 44th annual Grabill Country Fair will celebrate the area’s Amish heritage with three days of crafts, contests, music and food. This year’s festivities begin Thursday, Sept. 10, and end
Saturday, Sept. 12. The festival draws about 100,000 visitors to Grabill and boasts to be “one of the finest craft fairs” with 130 craft booths, according to the fair’s website. The crafts showcased and sold

FFA members from Heritage and Woodlan high schools stood server by server Aug. 5 for Ag Appreciation Day at Jefferson Township Park. The New Haven Chamber of Commerce sponsored the event as a way of saying thanks to the food industry. Woodlan FFA President Sophie Schultz, a junior, took her turn serving pancakes. “We are cooking pancakes and sausage and providing coffee and drinks for the farmers around the area,” she said. “It’s just a way for us to give back to the community and to give back to the people who provide our food.” Heritage FFA President Jarrett Lorte, a senior, also served pancakes. “We have some great volunteers who help us get the food,” he said. “We buy plenty

Skeeter Daugherty makes a personal sacrifice for the good of Lily Pearl’s Square Dancing Tractors. When that Rochester precision tractor team entertains Aug. 29 at the Monroeville SummerFest, eight men will guide their bright red Farmall H tractors through Community Park Arena. Daugherty, however, is green through and through. “I’m a John Deere guy. It doesn’t sit well,” he said. “But we use a John Deere in the show, so I get over it quickly.” Eight drivers follow the caller’s instructions. Four wear men’s clothing; four wear women’s clothing. “The John Deere comes in and shoos away the men,” Daugherty said.

Beal said he welcomes the challenge of The Citadel. “They say it’s easy to get into The Citadel but it’s hard to stay. They say it’s one of the hardest colleges to stay in, academically,” he said. “I like to do things big and going to The Citadel is a big thing.” He hopes to become a mechanical engineer. “I owe the Army six years after college, but I plan to retire after 30,” he said.

Concordia Lutheran High School 2015 graduate Lucas Beal of New Haven has been accepted to The Citadel military academy in Charleston, S.C. Citadel admissions counselor Greg Dailey said Beal is one of three Indiana students accepted this fall. He said about 650 of 2,500 applicants are accepted each year. “Not everyone is looking for a military college,” he said. “It’s a different experience. Our cadets are in uniform 24 hours a day, seven days a week, if they’re within 25 miles of campus. The lifestyle is very structured.” He said the academic program is second to none. “They’re also getting the leadership
development that takes place within the corps of cadets. It’s real-world, Beal practical experience in leadership,” he said. Dailey said freshmen are known as the knob class because the young men have to shave their heads. At Concordia, Beal was active in the JROTC program, and lettered in football and lacrosse. At The Citadel, he plans to major in mechanical engineering and political science. He receives a three-year, Army ROTC scholarship. Upon graduation, he will enter the Army as a 2nd lieutenant.

Welcome to Woodburn, Ind., and four days of dulcimer music. Folkcraft Instruments owner Richard Ash said music fans who arrive from all corners of the country asked for a longer festival that would give a greater return on their travel dollars. Yet musicians from northeast Indiana and vicinity were reluctant to obligate more vacation days. So September features two, two-day dulcimer gatherings. Everything takes place at Folkcraft, 22133 Main St. The sixth annual Indiana Dulcimer Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 19 and 20. It will follow the 2015 Dulcimer Boot Camp, on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 17 and 18. Anyone interested in ďŹ lling one of the few remaining slots should contact Ash at sales@ Folkcraft.com.

The event, at 303 E. Main St., is free to the public but tickets will be sold for food and drinks. Half of the ticket sale will go directly to support Arts United, which develops, coordinates and supports arts and cultural efforts in northeast Indiana. Taste of the Arts begins at 11 a.m. and lasts until midnight. “The admission is free because the key goal is accessibility,� said Susan Mendenhall, Arts United president. The festival is “immersive,� Mendenhall added. With six instrumental and dance performances happening at one time, ongoing participatory
activities and delicious aromas wafting through the air from the food vendors, attendees can see, hear, feel, taste and smell artistry in its many different forms. “The real purpose of this event is to celebrate and support art diversity and highlight the culture and diversity of art in the community,� she said. Last year, the event attracted roughly 25,000 people and the same number — weather permitting — is expected this year as well. To accommodate, more performers and restaurants are participating in the festival this year. The performers are from the greater Fort Wayne area, said Carmen Tse, who

is co-chairing the festival. One of Tse’s favorite aspects of the festival is the arts activities area, where more than 40 nonproďŹ t organizations provide kid-friendly activities. For example, children have the opportunity to learn some moves from ballerinas with the Fort Wayne Ballet, and musicians with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic introduce children to instruments. Another highlight will be more than 20 plein air painters participating in Artlink’s Wet Paint Auction. Silent bids will be taken at the event for the art being created in front of the public eye. All proceeds will support programming
at Artlink, a nonproďŹ t art gallery. Also, the Downtown Improvement District’s BuskerFest will take place alongside Taste of the Arts at Freimann Square, 200 E. Main St. BuskerFest was canceled earlier this summer due to weather, but many of the performers will be participating in the event Aug. 29. Put on by the Downtown Improvement District, Busker Square at Taste of the Arts celebrates arts through street performance. Busker Square is also free and takes place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, visit tasteoftheartsfortwayne.org/.

Festival keeps Johnny Appleseed era alive By Garth Snow
41st JOHNNY APPLESEED FESTIVAL
gsnow@kpcmedia.com
If a festival that celebrates a bygone era has to change, that change must be subtle. Johnny Appleseed Festival Executive Director Bridget Kelly wants to assure thousands of visitors that the 41st festival will preserve the best of festivals past. The September celebration again will feature vendors and craftspeople wearing clothing beďŹ tting the early decades of the 19th century in the American frontier. Community groups will cook over open ďŹ res, preparing soups, chicken and noodles, and other food that would have been familiar to Johnny Appleseed and his fellow pioneers. The children’s games that line the St. Joe River will be made of wood and rope. Musicians will dress in period clothing, and play early favorites on period instruments. Craftspeople will manufacture and sell goods that would have been at home on an 1830s table or mantel. Military units will wear uniform styles that had become obsolete before the American Civil War. “There are not many changes this year,â€? said
Saturday, Sept. 19, 10 a.m-6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is free. Parking is $5 at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, 4000 Parnell Ave., Fort Wayne. Vendors sell foods that would have been served in the early 1800s. The festival is held on the adjacent Archer Park and an area commonly known as Johnny Appleseed Park. A gravestone at the top of the hill in Archer Park marks the approximate burial place of early 19th century nurseryman John Chapman, who became known as Johnny Appleseed. For a full schedule, visit johnnyappleseedfest.com.

Kelly, who speaks from experience. She said 2015 marks her 19th or 20th year assisting the festival. “A lot of the people like it the way is is, so we try to keep it the way that it was in the past,� Kelly said. She served seven years as executive director, continued serving on the board for eight years, and took on the director’s post again this year. Some new entertainment will join the festival this
year. Details will be available on the website soon. “We have a couple new food booths coming in, but really apart from that it’s what people have come to know and love and expect,â€? she said. The food vendors donate at least 20 percent of their net to the festival organization. “Most of the food vendors and a lot of the children’s vendors are not-for-proďŹ ts, schools, music boosters, churches,â€?
she said. “A lot of groups like the Kiwanis and the Lions and Optimists are represented, and for most of them this is their primary fundraiser for the year.� She encourages visitors to visit all their favorite attractions. She also encourages the public to stroll through the woods and to the west, to see the antiques booths and the trappers and traders area. Many visitors to the information booth are surprised
Steam and gas machines on show through Sunday The Maumee Valley Antique Steam & Gas Association’s 38th annual Summer Show and Festival continues Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 22 and 23, at Jefferson Township Park east of New Haven. Daily admission is $5. Children 12 and under and exhibitors are admitted free. Hay rides and demonstrations with horses and mules will be held
Saturday. Antique tractor pulls will resume at 3 p.m. Saturday, weather-permitting. The Saint Paul Lutheran Church Youth Group will sell pulled pork dinners and sandwiches from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday. Proceeds will help fund their National Youth Gathering trip. Steamed sweet corn will be available Saturday and Sunday, until 120 dozen
are served. Saturday entertainment includes: Applejack Kloggers, 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.; kiddie tractor pull, 2 p.m.; adult tractor pull, 3 p.m.; parade, 4:30 p.m.; dulcimer music, 5 p.m.; and the Stockdale Family Band at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. Guests should bring their own lawn chairs. Sunday includes a church service at 9 a.m., a heavyweight horse pull at
noon, and the New Haven High School Alumni Band at 1:30 p.m. This year’s tractor show features Massey-Harris, Sheppard Diesel, B.F. Avery, Massey-Ferguson and Avery tractors and equipment. Antique steam engines and other machines will be on exhibit. The working blacksmith shop will be open for viewing. For more information, visit maumeevalley.org.
to learn of those booths, she said. Alert visitors might notice the most subtle of changes in the antiques area. Marilou Borne has supervised that area for at least 10 years. “We have antique vendors that are juried to make sure they don’t show up with items inappropriate
to that era,� she said. “The only problem is the festival only goes up to 1840 and there aren’t a whole lot of things left from 1840. And also that may not necessarily be what the antique enthusiasts are looking for. An antique is anything that’s over a hundred years old, so each year that changes just a little bit.�

As many as 150 crackerjack police teams will attend a national conference hosted by New Haven in September. Half of the participants will be getting around on four legs. Hosting the American Police Canine Association’s annual meeting Sept. 20-25 is an ambitious undertaking for the city of 15,600. “We don’t do things small,” said conference organizer Deb-Anne Smith, executive assistant to New Haven Mayor Terry McDonald. “We go big or go home.” The meeting serves as an annual training event for canine teams, which must pass initial certification exams and then re-certify each year. Dogs and handlers will be attending
from all over the country. “For some teams, this is their only opportunity to certify,” said Sgt. Brent Bolinger, who with his dog, Armor, is one of New Haven Police Department’s three canine teams. “The main focus is training, to expose the dog teams to new trainings, events they might not ordinarily get to do.” The event also provides networking for law enforcement, said New Haven Police Chief Henry McKinnon. “Not only is it good for them to see our community, and we can brag about our community… but these officers, and even officers like myself who are not canine officers, can network with others,” he said. “You never know when we’ll need each other.”
New Haven launched its canine program in 1981. Bolinger worked with his first dog for 10 years and has worked with Armor for three. Officer Jonathan Wenzel has worked with his dog, Henry, since 2012. The department’s third team is Officer Scott Adam and his dog, Remi. The host hotel for the event is the Holiday Inn IPFW. Canine teams like New Haven’s learn to perform a lot of tasks: suspect tracking and apprehension, building and area searches, drug detection, and even to deploy from helicopters or boats if needed. Wenzel and his dog, for example, spent 14 weeks, eight hours a day, five days a week, learning to work together before they got their certification. “It’s another academy for
Police dog teams convene in New Haven next month these guys, training with a new partner,” McKinnon said. The annual ACPA conference lets the teams learn new things, brush up on their techniques, get updates on legal issues and share war stories. New Haven also is using the conference to showcase the teams and their talents during a public demonstration in the stadium at New Haven High School at 5 p.m. Sept. 23. After a beginning procession, Bolinger will arrive via helicopter and then he and Armor will go after “bad guy” Principal Greg Mohler, who will be wearing a protective bite suit and a GoPro camera. Other demonstrations will follow, with another 14 teams showing off their skills. A meet-and-greet after the event will allow

members of the public to get up close and personal with the dogs, if they choose. Wenzel said working with his dog — who was not named after the police chief — is much tougher than he expected. “It’s difficult physically, exhausting mentally,” he said. “It’s demanding work but it’s definitely rewarding at the end of the day when you find the bad guy, find that evidence. It’s awesome. It’s a good feeling.” But while the dogs are there to protect their partners, “they also drag you right into the heat of it,” Wenzel added. “We know they’ve got our backs, but at the same time they’re leading us to the trouble,” Bolinger agreed.

present can be a deterrent, McKinnon noted. “Sometimes, you could tell someone wanted to run, wanted to fight, but if you have that dog there, it changes some mindsets,” he said. “You probably can’t put stats to that, but it prevents other officers from being injured.” The teams also do a lot of crime prevention work, visiting schools for example, often on their own time, McKinnon said. “It’s a chance for the kids to see, oh, they do have a job to do. The officers are human and the dogs can be nice, as long as you follow certain rules,” McKinnon said. When they’re off duty, the dogs live with their handlers and their families. “He knows when he’s at home,” Bolinger said. “He can relax. He doesn’t have to be on guard.” New Haven signed up more than 40 sponsors to help defray costs and supply print materials, food and gift bag items for the attendees. “This is a packed conference. We’re offering a lot of different things showcasing the community as well,” Smith said.

The 17th annual Be A Tourist In Your Own Hometown event will be going on downtown from noon-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13. Both locals and those from out-of-town will get the chance to visit 12 museums and attractions for free. The event is expected to bring about 30,000 residents and visitors. “It’s a really fun opportunity for people to take time to explore the city as visitors do,� said Kristen Guthrie, director of marketing for Visit Fort Wayne. “We have so many great museums and attractions here that visitors love but residents don’t always take the time to visit so it’s a great day to celebrate together.� Before embarking on an adventure downtown, pick up a passport in August at a Fort Wayne Kroger or Old National Bank location. Passports will be used to get a stamp at each location. Visitors are also able to download the passport from visitfortwanye.com. The list of participating museums and attractions

includes the following: • African/African-American History Museum; • Allen County Courthouse; • Cathedral Museum; • Embassy Theatre; • Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory; • Historic Fort Wayne; • History Center; • Fort Wayne Museum of Art; • Parkview Field; • Science Central; • The Lincoln Tower; and • Visit Fort Wayne Visitors Center. The event is a result of Visit Fort Wayne staff realizing that residents
aren’t always aware of the museums and attractions available to them, Guthrie said. In order to bring large crowds, locations open their doors for free to eliminate excuses or costly fees that can sometimes deter visitors. “This also allows residents to become good ambassadors for the city of Fort Wayne,� Guthrie said. “This way, they are able to share all the great attractions to friends and family coming from out of town.� For additional information, call (260) 424-3700 or visit visitfortwayne.com/ beatourist.

Festival to celebrate monarch butteries Little River Wetlands Project plans the 2015 Monarch Festival from noon-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, at Eagle Marsh preserve, 6801 Engle Road, Fort Wayne. Admission is free. The event celebrates the monarch buttery, hundreds of which are likely to be stopping by the preserve on their fall migration. The festival will offer displays, including live monarchs in various stages of metamorphosis. Visitors will learn about
monarchs’ life cycle, migration, and threats to their survival. Visitors can hike a trail among towering sunowers to see a variety of butteries. There will be a presentation on monarchs in their winter home, and many activities for children. New this year will be a station where participants can learn how to tag monarchs and why it is important to track their 2,000-mile migration to their wintering grounds in Mexico. Attendees will be given
varieties of milkweed, the only plant on which monarchs can lay their eggs, for planting in home gardens or at the preserve. At a Pollinator Farmers Market, also new this year, visitors can buy native plants for their gardens to help butteries and other pollinators survive. “As monarch populations dip to precipitously lower levels, the Monarch Festival showcases the butteries’ plight, but also emphasizes what anyone — from home gardeners to farmers
and businesses — can do to help,� LRWP said in a statement. For details, visit lrwp. org, email info@lrwp.org, or call (260) 478-2515. The festival is presented by Lutheran Health Network with major funding from a Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities grant through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. General Motors and Coventry Meadows have contributed to help support the Monarch Festival.

New Haven absorbs two tracts, 586 acres By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
New Haven will grow by almost 600 acres with the annexation of two parcels east and southeast of the city. A 503-acre parcel will extend city boundaries east to include a section of the Casad Industrial Park, between Dawkins and Edgerton roads. The second expansion pulls in the 83 acres of Greenwood Lakes, at the southeast corner of Seiler and Green roads. City council initiated the annexations as part of the natural growth of the community, said New Haven Director of Planning Brian Yoh. “Corporate boundaries will not change with development. They can only change through annexation so as the surrounding
community grows the city must annex to bring it in,” he said. Most of the annexed area already receives city sewer and water service. Residents now will receive city police protection, snow and leaf removal and city trash collection service. “It was time to take them in,” Councilman Floyd Ball, R-1st, said. The larger parcel is mostly farmland. “There are only a few houses in that area that don’t already have utilities provided,” Ball said. “They are not in a hurry. They will be receiving the utilities at some point in time.” The agricultural zoning that exists under Allen County planning will be grandfathered in under New Haven jurisdiction. The Casad — a former military depot — is zoned indus-

trial. Police Chief Henry McKinnon said the department is prepared to patrol and serve the new area. Former Chief Steve Poiry, who left office in May, told the council that New Haven police already respond to calls from the area which is in the Allen County Sheriff’s Department jurisdiction. The city will take over
street maintenance for the eastern section. Greenwood Lakes also has city water and sewer. The city will take responsibility for road maintenance once the development reaches 75 percent completion, according to statements by Councilman Craig Dellinger, R-3rd, at a May 12 council meeting. According to literature available at the Greenwood
Lakes entrance, the development is approved for 48 lots. About 15 dwellings are complete or under construction. Terry Fisher lives on Chesterhills Court, in the Greenwood Lakes home nearest Seiler Road. He is the second owner of a home that was built in 2010. He said he does not have a strong opinion about the annexation. “I don’t know one way or the other; I’m already getting the services,” he said. After discussion at several meetings, the City Council approved both ordinances June 23. Clerk-Treasurer Brenda Adams said the annexations will take effect 90 days from the date of publication of notice, which was July 5. The new area is absorbed into the district served
Dr. David Reichwage and Team at Fort Wayne Smiles
Offering Strickland Facelift Dentures® To Fort Wayne and Area Patients Fort Wayne - Dr. David Reichwage and the Team at Fort Wayne Smiles recently added a new denture technique to their cosmetic and laser dentistry practice. This innovative procedure creates beautiful and natural looking dentures with increased stability and comfort to denture wearers through a sophisticated process that pays careful Before After attention to each patient’s unique physiology of chewing and facial characteristics. Traditional dentures often cause that dreaded “denture look”. This includes characteristics such as: the lips appear thin and roll inward, sunken face and wrinkles, teeth that are hidden and front teeth that are too short and back teeth that are too long, a shortened face, a weak chin. Dr. David Reichwage’s Strickland Facelift Denture technique offers new dentures that are created with an adept eye for aesthetics, rejuvenating patient appearances with facelift-quality results. Dr. David Reichwage and the Fort Wayne Smiles team received training from Dr. Rod Strickland, the author of the new technique, giving them insight into the causes of denture pain, and the collapsed appearance of many denture wearers faces. The Team at Fort Wayne Smiles is able to help patients who have been wearing dentures for years or who are looking for their first denture.

by Councilwoman Sarah DiGangi, R-2nd. Kimberly Bowman, the executive director of the Allen County Department of Planning Services, promised a smooth transition. “We work very closely with New Haven and Brian Yoh,” Bowman said. “When an area is annexed one of the main differences is that residents will go to New Haven City Hall instead of downtown Fort Wayne to obtain permits. We currently have different zoning ordinances, so there may be some differences as far as what you can do with your property and where you can build. “But, all in all, I think Allen County and New Haven have a good working relationship and we both always strive to make any transitions easier for those involved.”

to get eight of us together and start dancing and just do this for the club,” he said. “To do that, we had eight different kinds of tractors and everything. “There were other people wanting us to dance for them, too. That’s when we decided to get the red H’s. They’re more uniform, it’s better timing, and it makes for a better show.” He said the synchronized show moves pretty quickly. “We’ve got a caller who coordinates our moves and we go by her command and we know when it’s time to turn the steering wheel and that leads to less crashes and touching with each other’s tractors.” “We’ve broken a couple of front end wheels and bent several wheels,” he said. That’s why they practice every Sunday. “But we enjoy to entertain the public and have a good time doing it, and we’ve got a couple spots in the show where we go out into the crowd and get a couple people and they do some moves to

command the tractors to do stuff. We don’t run over anybody,” he said. When they’re not dancing their tractors, the drivers are police officers, farmers or mechanics. “And my grandson’s in there, and he’s been driving for four years and he’s not even 16,” Overmyer said. The troupe has grown from eight tractors to 14, so drivers can have a weekend off to spend with their families. The drivers all live within 20 miles
of Rochester. “We’re all friends and neighbors,” Overmyer said. Nine red tractors make the trip to each show, to ensure a spare tractor. The 14 shows takes them as far west as the eastern edge of Illinois and as far east as Monroeville. “We don’t make any money. We’re not quitting our day jobs,” Overmyer said. Red or green, the troupe still has a personal appeal to Daugherty. “My wife’s grandmother was Lily
Pearl, so we used her name to give it a little class,” he said. The tractors will dance twice, at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Each show lasts about 45 minutes. Admission is $5. Learn more about the square dancing tractors at lilypearldancers.wix.com/ dancing-tractors. SummerFest is a fundraiser for Saint Rose of Lima Parish, which operates a school of that same name in the former Monroeville Elementary School building. “It’s a nice, big beautiful building but the upkeep can be expensive,” said Christine Castleman, who shares the SummerFest board with Lori Wagner, Dan Foster and Doug Spiech. Castleman said the committee first learned of square dancing tractors through another church at the Maria Stein Country Fest in Mercer County, Ohio. SummerFest begins with the Archer Dash at 8 a.m. The band Renegade entertains at 6:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Find the full schedule at strosemonroeville.org. SummerFest falls three weeks after the town’s Harvest Festival, which has been creeping forward on the calendar. SummerFest also is earlier this year. “We have kind of switched the date depending on the park’s availability,” Castleman said. “Last year we were one day before the summer ended, so we have always had it in the summer.” Kids will find carnival games and inflatables. The duck derby entertains all ages, Castleman said. The entertainment tent offers adult beverages. Like the school itself, the festival will be enjoyed by those outside the parish. This is the fourth year of the festival, said Castleman, who has sons in the fourth and sixth grades at Saint Rose. “We have a very caring community, a very good academic school,” she said. “And I love that our neighbors are there and everybody knows each other, because we all come together as a family.”

DAY from Page A1 myself I was not going to join, that I was not into that. And after the first week of ag classes I just knew that was what I wanted to do. “I feel like I owe my personal growth, my interviewing skills, my speaking skills to the FFA. And I know so many people throughout the state and even throughout the nation. I’ve made so many lifelong friends, and I am just so grateful for it.” Lorte said FFA abounds in career development events. “There’s anything you want,” he said. “We have forestry events where you learn about leaves and plants, horticulture, dairy where you can judge a healthy animal from a nonhealthy animal, floriculture. Anything you want to go into, there’s a good CDE for you to participate in.” “I feel like FFA is a good balance,” Schultz said. “It’s agriculture but it’s also about leadership skills. We have leadership contests, public speaking, quiz bowl. Those really focus on the leadership aspects of it. By attending different events like this, you can interact with others and it all comes together and helps out.” The two chapters will work on other projects throughout the school year, including fundraising chapter share nights. “We go to restau-

rants, clean tables and everything, and just be visible,” Lorte said. Heritage FFA adviser and ag instructor Mike Shirey said the breakfast was for the farmers and the businesses involved in agriculture. “It’s been wonderful for the young people in the FFA chapters to be involved with that, so they can network with those people and to provide the breakfast for these people,” Shirey said. “We started at 6 in the morning getting ready for this event,” Woodlan FFA adviser Rod McKee said. The work really began the previous day with gathering supplies, he said. “I’m very proud of our kids. They work hard,” McKee said.
“Woodlan students, Heritage students, we work together and we will do at least three cooperative projects this year. And his students are my students and my students are his students, and they’re all very respectful to both of us. So that’s what makes it a really good working relationship.” Both educators said FFA is a path to staying in agriculture related industries after high school. McKee said one of his former students was staffing one of the business information tents at Ag Appreciation Day. “We’ve been blessed through the years to have some students who have gone on to do some really neat things,” Shirey said.

Trimming the waste-line: By Aimee Ambrose aambrose@kpcmedia.com
A formula for waste elimination mixed with a little ingenuity turned around a small business in southeast Allen County. Monroeville Box, Pallet & Wood Products once faced stagnation, but now thrives with growing profits and a workforce that’s about quintupled over the past few years. The Monroeville company primarily builds industrial crates and pallets, as well as custom wood products. But its recent success hinges on a decision to go into pallet recycling. In taking moves to reduce wastefulness using lean manufacturing principles, the company began recycling pallets instead of chucking out used ones en masse. “Pallets were known as a one-time user for a long time,” said Eric Kissinger, company owner. “This is something that’s allowed us to reclaim a lot of that stuff. It’s not OK anymore to just throw thousands and thousands of pallets into the landfill.” The operation worked so well, the company has evolved from the tri-state
area’s oldest pallet company into northeast Indiana’s largest pallet recycler. About half the pallets it sells is recycled. The other half is new. Customers buy loads of pallets from the company for their operations. The amount varies based on each customer’s needs, but can range from 20 at a time to multiple truckloads a week. At the same time, when other customers finish using pallets, they store them for the company to pick up and start the process over again. The amount that gets recycled is about two semi-truck loads per day, Kissinger said. The company started as a pallet business in the 1950s. Kissinger bought it about four years ago, taking a risk when the economy was still in recovery mode. But he had a good feeling about it. “I think this is a winner,” he said he thought. First, though, he had to get the business into shape and drastically reduce the inventory that built up in the plant. A bank wouldn’t issue a loan until nearly three-quarters of the

inventory was gone. Kissinger, a specialist in lean continuous improvement processes, implemented strategies to cut waste and increase production. At the same time, lumber prices shot up shortly after he bought the company. He decided not to raise prices to compensate and looked for other solutions. A couple years ago, he decided to run with the idea to recycle pallets as an innovative solution for generating new business while clearing out the inventory backlog. The company also purchased from a Fort Wayne company special-
ized equipment designed to take apart pallets, grind up old wood and pull out metal pieces with a magnet tool. The old wood is turned into mulch that can be sold or into sawdust for farmers to use as animal bedding. Kissinger credits the use of lean principles and a strong recycling policy for strengthening the business. “We’re at zero waste,” he said. “We recycle our plastic, we recycle our cardboard, we recycle cans from the pop machines … We’ve really leveraged our position as a zero-waste producer.” In the past four years, by improving processes,
company revenue increased by 250 percent, sales have more than doubled, and employment grew from five workers to about 25. “In Monroeville, 20 jobs is a big deal,” he said. And by cutting back the inventory in the 40,000-square-foot plant, Kissinger was able to increase production capacity without having to invest in new construction. The company also recently acquired a similar operation, J Box in Auburn, and is bringing the business in-house. In addition to the Monroeville box
and pallet company, Kissinger also owns a consulting business that specializes in helping companies reduce waste by implementing lean manufacturing processes. Waste is not a term he uses to just describe discarded physical materials. He also refers to waste as a drag on productivity — the unnecessary steps, setups or conditions that waste time and energy. Such time and energy could be used for more workplace efficiency, but he doesn’t use that term. “I go out of my way to not use ‘efficiency,’” he said, as a way to correct what he feels are misconceptions about lean initiatives. To him, the word “efficiency” implies doing more with less, such as employees or resources. He feels “productivity” is a more accurate word in the case of lean. “A big part of lean is making jobs easier,” he said. “It’s just a very broad toolbox of tools you can draw from when you’re looking to improve a business.” Productivity, he added, describes reducing non-value-added waste in workplace processes, or doing more with less effort.

Executive women golfers choose Fort Wayne
Four lanes ready soon
By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
About 100 members of the Executive Women’s Golf Association will play Aug. 29 at Chestnut Hills Golf Club in Fort Wayne. The occasion is a regional qualifying round for the association’s national championship. “We expect 95 women here, including two women from headquarters and a USGA ofďŹ cial,â€? said Jana Sebele, the founder of the Fort Wayne Chapter. “It should be a great event. It’s going to be really enjoyable.â€? The gathering begins with practice rounds on Aug. 28. Tee times begin at 7:30 a.m. Aug. 29. “We do have sponsorship opportunities. We’re using the money to pay for the Friday night welcome reception and the Saturday banquet,â€? Sebele said. Sponsors also may contribute to the goodie bags provided by Vera Bradley. Email jlsebele@ aol.com for details. Holiday Inn Suites will be the host hotel. Chestnut Hills head professional and general manager Gary Gant said he is pleased to have the tournament in Fort Wayne. “Our EWGA team is very

active and they send teams to these ďŹ nals every year,â€? Gant said. “It’s good for the community — these ladies will be here for two or three days, using hotels, buying meals and everything.â€? Golfers compete at the local level to qualify for one of the 15 regional tournaments. The Fort Wayne regional will host EWGA golfers from the upper Midwest and Canada. Sebele worked in Fort Wayne before moving to Naples, Fla., where she became active in the golf association. Sebele moved back to Fort Wayne in 2008. She is a bookkeeper for Schmidt Electric in Fort Wayne. “When I came up here I was looking for women to play golf with, and in the ďŹ rst two months we had 30 members and by the next spring we had 60. We currently have 103,â€? she said. “I think one big thing is networking, meeting women from other
professions. That and the friendship are big elements,â€? she said. “The age range is 18 to 81, and our expertise level is a 4 handicap to a brand new golfer.â€? The local chapter plays each Wednesday at Colonial Oaks, 8218 Huguenard Road, and each Thursday at Chestnut Hills, 11502 Illinois Road. Golfers may play in a scramble format or sign up for stroke play to apply to their handicap. “And you can go back and forth,â€? Sebele said. Golfers have different playing partners each week. The Fort Wayne chapter submitted information on ďŹ ve local courses. “We weren’t allowed to give any recommendations,â€? Sebele said. “Our headquarters contacted the local courses and they gave a list of criteria.â€? About 2,500 golfers from 120 cities compete on the local level. About 200 amateur golfers qualify to advance to the national ďŹ nals Oct. 30 and 31 at The Westin Mission Hills Resort in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
