Schools weigh $74 million project By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Art show to share park with food truck festival By Garth Snow

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. If approved by the School Board, it would go to the voters in a May 3, 2016, 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: Heritage, Leo, 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. Remaining meetings are 6-8 p.m.
on these dates: Sept. 21, New Haven High School; Sept. 22, Leo High School; and Sept. 29, Woodlan High School. See SCHOOLS, Page A7
At least 37 artists will display works in assorted media at Art at the Riverside, Saturday, Sept. 26 at Riverside Gardens in Leo-Cedarville. Festival founder and director Marsha Wulpi said the festival will be even bigger in this, its third year. “The first year was just an incredible success. The second year as well. All indications are this year will be also,” she said. “We haven’t used the gazebos in years past, but this year I think we’ve grown enough that we will use the gazebos. “Riverside Gardens is on the banks of the St. Joe River. That’s a very beautiful setting.” Fort Wayne Food Truck has signed on with least 11 vendors. That separate event is known as the Fort Wayne Food Truck Fall Festival.
Saturday, Sept. 26, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Riverside Gardens, 14701 Schwartz Road, Leo-Cedarville Free admission. Features works of at least 37 artists. At least 11 food trucks on site. Visit artattheriverside.com. Wulpi, who is also Chamber of Commerce president, will provide the judges and awards for the food truck competition. Wulpi founded Arts at the Riverside in her capacity as chamber president. Art show sponsorship since had passed to the Leo-Cedarville Foundation. “We started it because we have so many artists concentrated into this area, some really good, nationally known See ART, Page A8
Larger community center to begin programs in 2016 Recreation opportunities will multiply with a $2-million community center on Lincoln Highway in New Haven. Leaders expect renovations to begin this year, with occupancy in 2016. The City of New Haven and the New Haven/ Adams Township Park Department are collaborating to buy and complete the vacant building that once housed the Marine Corps League. The property is accessed by a road beside the McDonald’s restaurant. A familiar sign marking 7500 E. Lincoln Highway will be adapted to tout the multi-service facility. The 16,500square feet building is on a 12-acre property. Parks Department Director Mike Clendenen said the new center will
replace the current office on Hartzell Street, which eventually will be put up for sale. The new community center will continue to house the Park Department offices. The New Haven City Council signed off on its participation Sept. 8. “The City Council approved [the Parks Department] borrowing the purchase price from the city while we get the ball rolling. We hope to have the bond proceeds by the end of the year,” Clendenen said. He said the $2 million estimated cost includes renovations. “The property owners donated half the listing price, so we really appreciate that,” Clendenen said. “It’s an exciting time and we’re looking forward to it. Once we take possession, we’ll bring in the public so they can see it.” Property owners

The 21st season of the Omnibus Lecture Series at IPFW presents three evenings with engaging and well-known speakers. Each lecture will be presented in The John and Ruth Rhinehart Music Center’s 1,600-seat Auer Performance Hall. Tickets are free, and will be available three weeks before each event. • Eric Olson, retired four-star admiral and Navy SEAL, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7. Tickets became available Sept. 14. Olson will discuss “The World at Night.” The former commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command, he served his country for more than 38 years. Often described as

one of the greatest military leaders of the last century, Olson’s leadership is credited for accomplishing some of the most notable military operations of the past decade. Olson was the first Navy SEAL to be appointed to three-star and four-star rank, in addition to being the first naval officer selected to command all U.S. special operations forces. Olson now serves on corporate and nonprofit organization boards, teaches a graduate course at Columbia University, and advises on national security, leadership and team building. • Bill McKibben, environmental activist and author, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5. His topic will be “The Climate Fight Reaches its Crucial Stage.” Tickets will be available starting Oct. 12. McKibben is one of America’s most prominent environmental activists and authors. He is also a founder of 350.org, the first global grassroots initiative to combat climate change. As the author of a dozen books, including multiple bestsellers, McKibben is credited for shaping public perception and understanding of climate change, alternative forms of energy, and the need for localized, sustainable economies. His works include “The End of Nature,” typically regarded as the first book on climate change written for a general audience, and his most recent, “Oil and Honey.” A former staff writer for The New Yorker, McKibben has also been featured in The New York Times, National Geographic, and Rolling Stone. • James Carville and Mary Matalin willl speak at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 24. Their topic will be “All’s Fair: Love, War, and Politics. ” Tickets will be available starting Feb. 29. One of American’s most beloved political couples,
Carville and Matalin will discuss today’s most important political issues. Carville’s reputation for leading overlooked campaigns to victory began in 1986, culminating with William Jefferson Clinton’s election in 1992. Recently, Carville has turned his expertise to global politics, focusing on campaigns around the world. Matalin is a celebrated conservative political voice. She worked under President Ronald Reagan and served as George H.W. Bush’s campaign director, assistant to George W. Bush, and counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney. The Omnibus Lecture Series is dedicated to presenting diverse ideas through respected speakers to northeast Indiana. The series has been supported by the English Bonter Mitchell Foundation since 1995 and is also supported by the Dr. Louis and Anne B. Schneider Foundation. The 2015–16 season media sponsors are WANE-TV NewsChannel 15, 89.1 WBOI NPR news and diverse music and KPC Media Group, which publishes the Times publications.

Doors open one hour before each lecture. Campus parking is free. The 1,000-space Parking Garage 3 is located in the Fine Arts Plaza to serve Omnibus audiences.

The 2015 Mighty Marching Bulldogs will present a show about falling in love. In fact, it’s entitled “Falling In.” Band director Todd Caffee credits his New Haven High School students with choosing the concept for the show. “They wanted to do a show about falling in love,” he said. “We picked some older kind of songs, like ‘When I Fall in Love’ and ‘Save the Last Dance for Me,’ and ‘At Last’ by Etta James. ‘Fever’ is another oldie. “It’s our goal to have an entertaining show, and for me that means songs that the crowd will recognize, melodies you’ll be able to hum. You won’t hear us do a show that has blips and bloops and this esoteric thing. There’ll be a melody. I like melody.” Senior guard captain Renee Bock portrays the central character. “She’s falling in and out of love all the way through the show,” Caffee said. “She’s a little fickle; can’t make up her mind. But it does have a happy ending that I won’t give away.” Caffee said he began deliberating the show almost as soon as the band exited the ISSMA Scholastic A preliminaries a year ago. “The concept started basically

The Bulldogs reached the state finals in Scholastic Class A two years ago. The band missed the Gold rating and a pass to the 2014 state finals.

Leo band to get ‘Wired’ playing four music styles By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
The Leo Jr./Sr. High School marching band is “Wired” for 2015. Bob Myers directs the Roar of the Lions band in a study of four music styles. “The first song is about ‘Ruckus.’ It’s a new tune that just came out, and it’s about the kids getting wired together,” he said. “The second tune is ‘Flight of the Bumblebee.’ “It’s about being wired on caffeine or coffee. And you’ll see a girl out on the field with a coffee cup, so the show is kind of tongue-in-cheek. “The third song is called ‘Love Dance’ from Cirque du Soleil. It’s a beautiful, beautiful work, and you’ll see the color guard walking like a tight wire, and you’ll see the band kind of using the yard lines emulating that tight wire type personae. And then the last tune that we’re going to do is about guitar wires, and you’ll see a guitar overture.” He said “Start Me Up” by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger is challenging to students who are not familiar with the Rolling Stones’ music. “That’s not something that they normally listen to,” he said.

Leo Jr./Sr. High School junior Halie Erlich rehearses with the Roar of the Lions marching band color guard.
“I think the kids really like the show,” Myers said. “It certainly represents four different styles of music, and I think the challenge for the students is having to shift from one style to another. “From a programming point, there is a lot of music, a lot of busy work, a lot of visual enhancement that will continue to be programmed in up through the middle of October in preparation
for the regionals and semi-state and hopefully state finals.” Leo competes in ISSMA Open Class C. “I think it’s one of the most competitive classes in the state,” Myers said. “There’s a lot of camaraderie among the directors. I think everybody knows everybody and I think it’s going to be an exciting year here at Leo.” “The kids, the parents, the football crowd — they’ve all been digging
the show,” Myers said. The band bypassed the first Saturday of the competition season to march in the Grabill Country Fair parade. The band will perform “Wired” on Sept. 19 at DeKalb High School. “That’s always a good show,” Myers said. “I think the folks do a great job running the show.” The band also performs Sept. 26 at the Mishawaka Penn band festival. Oct. 3 is an open date. The band is not
required to participate in the ISSMA preliminary round on Oct. 10. The band will perform Oct. 17 at the ISSMA regional at Chesterton High School, and Oct. 24 at the Northrop High School band festival. If the band qualifies, the Roar of the Lions also will march Oct. 31 at the ISSMA Semi-State at Decatur Central High School, and the Nov. 7 state finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Heritage band to trace journey through music By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
The 2015 Heritage High School marching band will lead the audience through “Savage Echoes: A Journey on the Amazon.â€? Band director Josiah Pfenning said the music moves from a tribal drum sound to an almost industrial sound as the transformation of the music reects the journey down the river. The music was arranged by Alex Yoder, who also arranges for Carroll High School. The drill was arranged by Mike Beights, who also designs for Concordia Lutheran and other schools. “It’s going to start with the horn line around the front ensemble and facing them,â€? Pfenning
said. “And then it transitions into a very strong opening when the horn line comes in.â€? He said the show conveys thoughts of not just a physical journey, but of a journey back to simpler times. Pfenning said the show concept was in place when he took the Heritage job this summer. “I’m glad it was here,â€? he said. He said this is a rebuilding year, with a younger band with only six seniors. Pfenning replaces Jim Widmer, who left to become director of the Muncie Central marching band. Widmer directed the band to fourth place in the ISSMA Scholastic B ďŹ nals a year ago. When Pfenning learned of the vacancy, he visited Heritage and talked with Principal Matt Widen-

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 this building project will be to construct entrances so that once a visitor is buzzed in to a building from the office they go into a holding area inside the office rather than having free rein of the entire school building,” he said. “We’re looking at a brand new New Haven Intermediate School,” Folks said. It would be built at the site of the Park Hill Learning Center and the current New Haven Middle School. The administration staff is now under two roofs, but would be united in one office, in
SCHOOLS from Page A1 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 eightgraders 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
the former New Haven Elementary School. The alternative school will stay at the former elementary building until the old Meadowbrook building becomes available. The former elementary school also would house a vocational program. School Board Vice President Bob Nelson said vocational programs are growing alongside the demand for trained workers. “We started a program and it’s growing like a house afire,” Nelson said. Folks also said the HVAC system at the New Haven High School is 40 years old, and the estimated replacement cost is $14 million. “We’ve been struggling with keeping that system going because of its age,” he said. “It’s time. It’s past time.”

Woodlan band explores ‘Pursuit of Knowledge’ By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Robert Slattery directs the Woodlan Jr./Sr. High School marching band in “The Pursuit of Knowledge.” He said the show begins with one person who has knowledge and many people who do not. “And then as the show progresses more and more they are going to acquire knowledge, and at the end there will be one person who doesn’t have knowledge,” Slattery said. He said the music is borrowed from an unrelated theme. “We changed it because the pursuit of knowledge is a good idea,” Slattery said. “We have about 60 kids and they’re very young but they’re really

CENTER from Page A1 community project into a reality,” they said. “We know the location will be perfect for a community center with easy access to major roads and city transit available. We are happy to leave the facility in community hands knowing the residents will enjoy it for years to come.” Mayor Terry McDonald said the facility meets a long-term goal. “For over 25 years, the Park Board has studied and investigated the need for such a community center,” the mayor said in a statement. “… the studies
have demonstrated that the residents desire a community center that will provide for comprehensive and diversified programming all year. A larger facility such as a community center would open opportunities for programming across all age demographics.” McDonald also said, “A larger facility will also add to content equity, in other words, having a little something for everyone, and that’s exactly what this facility offers.” In its own statement, the Parks Department said the project “enhances the city’s quality of place and aids
in economic development and will promote partnerships with local businesses.” Offerings will include a senior citizen activity are, fitness programs, youth programs, special events, and more. Seniors will have the opportunity to mentor and tutor young people after school. “This is a great day in New Haven. In order to expand the Parks Department program, it was necessary to offer a community center that allows us to offer a variety of programs and amenities to the public,” Clendenen said. “This community center has something for everyone.”

But really, when their country has a population of around 1.3 billion people, they have to conserve every part of every animal they can get. I truly wanted to step into their shoes. Hearing about stolen children in China was heartbreaking. Many of the children living in the orphanage had been stolen from families to be trafficked, then later found by local police. It was truly heartbreaking to hear. Yet another child there had been living in the orphanage all his life, then was adopted by a Chinese family who soon all passed away … so he was sent back to a different orphanage. I can’t imagine the amount of pain that child, and many like him, has faced.

Many people told me I would never return to school, or that I wouldn’t be able to last in another country. But my parents were incredibly encouraging, and on board with everything from the start.

Festival antiques director keeps history of treasures By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
In her Eel River Township home, Marilou Borne preserves items that would be pricey in antique stores but which are priceless to her. The photos, furniture, iron pots and oil lamps from four generations ďŹ ll the rooms and walls. Each has its place of honor, and each has its story. Marilou lists the owners of each item. Those include an iron pot and a coal oil-burning lamp that her great-great-grandparents brought to DeKalb County in the 1840s. Borne is knowledgeable about that era. That’s part of her responsibility as the director of the antiques area at Fort Wayne’s Johnny Appleseed Festival, which will mark its 41st year Sept. 19 and 20. She has supervised that area for 10 years. “That little pot hanging there — that highest one — that probably dates to the 1700s or early 1800s,â€? she said. “I’ve had it dated by someone who knows, and they don’t feel that it was made later than that. The earlier pots are not as heavy. They’re not as thick.â€? Beyond the inventory that she inherited, Borne said, she received her father’s love of antiques and his eagerness to treat people fairly. Ralph McCullough was a parttime auctioneer in Butler, and worked farm and antique auctions north into Michigan and east into Ohio. “He became very well liked by the antique dealers because he was fair and honest and wouldn’t sell them something that wasn’t what he said it was,â€? she said. “We lived in a house that I was the fourth generation born in,â€? she said.
“And everybody who left that house and moved to a different house left stuff upstairs, like spinning wheels and all sorts of things.� A black-and-white photo of that house, circa 1901, hangs on a hallway wall. She said it shows a Butler-made windmill in the background, and her grandparents and great-grandparents and a hired hand in the yard. She has both preserved and restored the family collection, by going to estate auctions and bidding for possessions that had moved through other branches of the family. “I’ve kind of become the repository for many families,� she said. When Marilou and husband Bruce moved to their Allen County home, her mother — Helen — still lived at the Butler

home. “She decided it was time to break up — as they used to say — break up the belongings and share them with her three daughters
because she didn’t have any place to put them,� she said. “And then shortly after that happened, within a year, my dad’s sister passed away and she was
born in 1903, and so she had not only her own stuff but she had part of my grandparents’ stuff.� Marilou went to more auctions, and bought many
of the items at what she called reasonable prices. “And the thing of it is, it’s much older stuff like from the 1800s and 1860s,â€? she said. “And the auctioneer sort of laughed and said ‘Somebody’s paying attention.’ â€? Many of her items rest in or on a cupboard that had been reďŹ nished in her aunt’s workshop. “All the parts and pieces of it was in a lard can,â€? she said. Another cupboard, made of walnut, has drawers that were made from Dutch Cleanser boxes. “I know by these little doohickeys on here that my grandmother’s brother Gene made that,â€? she said.

Es Petrus,â€? by French composer Charles Marie Widor, originally scored for choir and two organs; this piece will be a part of the prayer service at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York on Sept. 24. • Composing an arrangement for congregation, choir and orchestra for the hymn “Alleluia, Sing to Jesusâ€? for the papal Mass at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 25. Hobby also will 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 Music/ ECS Publishing, St. Louis, seeking orchestral settings for the two pieces. 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€? Both pieces will be streamed live through St. Patrick’s website, saintpatrickscathedral.org. Broadcast plans have not been announced. 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. He is assisted by Mitch
Rorick, associate music director. During his tenure, Hobby has established a choral series, which has commissioned 17 composers thus far; hosted a regional convention of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians; and produced four recordings. Trinity will host the ALCM again in the summer of 2016. As a composer, Hobby has more than 250 compositions published by various publishing houses, including two major works. “The Good Shepherd� is scored for tenor solo, adult and children’s choirs and

orchestra. “Holy Light� is a 13-movement choral/ instrumental Christmas work. Hobby’s compositions have been featured on national television and syndicated radio shows and have been performed at numerous national venues, including Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and the national convention of the American Guild of Organists in Los Angeles. Hobby keeps an active schedule as a performer and a clinician, playing for national conventions including the Hymn Society of the U.S. and Canada, Organ Historical Society, and National Pastoral Musicians. He has been a featured artist with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, conducted the premiere of Andrew Carter’s “Concerto in C� for organ, with David Higgs at the organ, and led workshops across the nation. He has played and conducted for the national music conferences of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians, Fellowship of Baptist Musicians, and the Presbyterian Association of Musicians. He is a member of several professional music organizations, in which he has held numerous leadership roles. Hobby began playing piano in the second grade, and by fourth grade, he was playing the organ at Grace Lutheran Church, Columbia City, where his father, Clark Hobby, served as pastor. Hobby received his bachelor’s degree in church music from Wittenberg University and his master’s in music (organ performance) from the University of Notre Dame. He was awarded an honorary doctorate in music from Wittenberg University. In 2008, a music student at Ball State University created an annotated bibliography of Hobby’s choral works for the student’s doctoral thesis in choral conducting. Hobby and his wife, Jennifer, have three daughters. Hobby is quick to share his excitement that he will be in New York to witness both pieces in the services and to sing with the large choir at the Mass in Madison Square Garden. An item in Trinity’s Parish Visitor says, “It is an honor for Bob to have this unique compositional opportunity; it is equally exciting for him to be invited to witness both pieces in the services and sing with the choir for the large Mass.�

FESTIVAL from Page A11 second in command was 1st Lt. Philander Smith, of Newville. She keeps a tintype photo of that ancestor, and a service pin, in another room. Borne applies that same dedication to the integrity of the antiques area of the Johnny Appleseed Festival. “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.” Most of the inventory dates at least to the early 1900s, she said. Four spaces are available in each of seven tents. Some of the vendors have been with the festival almost since its beginning, she said. “We have everything from primitive items, jewelry, textiles, of course antique dishes and glassware, you know just a real gamut,” she said. “We have antique books, furniture. I try not to have too much repetition, but each of my dealers has something a little bit different, so that the people have a choice of what they would like to buy. “I have one vendor from

Kentucky, and the rest are more from the area, within 50 miles. “I really enjoy it, and it takes someone who appreciates them who can have a good relationship with the vendors, and I seem to have that. “They have to dress in period clothing. The display has to be period. So that means either covering their tables to the ground with some sort of tablecloth our just a length of cloth. And most of them do that anyway because they can scoot things under the table.” Not every item that’s protected in a frame in Borne’s home dates back to the 19th century. The Lone Ranger toy pistol is in excellent condition, she said, but she has always been a Hopalong Cassidy fan. Witness the lunch box that she carries in a photo from her first day of school, and which rests on a nearby shelf. Borne spent her career as a representative of the Nestle Co., visiting grocery stores. Her husband, Bruce, retired from a career as a postal carrier. Their tastes are similar, but not identical. Marilou once went to an antique show and brought home a Vernors ginger soda poster for her husband. That same day, he stopped at a yard sale along his route and bought a Vernor’s poster. “We’ve even reached for things at the same time,”

Marilou Borne said this iron pot is lighter and thinner that newer designs. She said it dates to the 1700s or early 1800s.
41ST JOHNNY APPLESEED FESTIVAL 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. For a full schedule, visit johnnyappleseedfest.com. she said. Bruce bought a framed photo of Nancy Sinatra. Marilou told him that it’s only fair that she have a framed photo of Ricky Nelson. When she checked the backing in the Sinatra photo, she found a Nelson photo beneath the photograph. The images hang on the same wall. They both like to go to auctions. “I don’t think we’ve ever bid against each other. Have we?” she said. Borne wants to pass along both antiques and appreciation of antiques to another generation. She believes some members of that age group share those attachments. “I can’t really say it’s the majority,” she said. “I think it’s very
important that this generation leave something for the next generations to have that tells a family history,” she said. “I like genealogy and some of these things I can pick up and say whose it is and how it got there and who it belonged to. But it’s important to not throw great-grandma’s old dresser away, unless it’s in really bad shape, because somebody would want that. And even it’s not a family member, if it’s someone who’s interested in the antique, they’re interested in the story, too. Who did it belong to? Where did it come from? Was it from Fort Wayne or did it come from Kentucky. Those are just things that interest people, or at least me and people like me.”

East Allen County Times • September 18, 2015
Church book study topic is ‘Go Set a Watchman’ The Rev. Greg Enstrom, lead pastor at First Wayne Street United Methodist Church of Fort Wayne, is hosting a six-week study of the newly released Harper Lee novel “Go Set a Watchman.” Enstrom leads the discussions at 6 p.m. each Wednesday. The series began Sept. 16. Everyone is welcome. First Wayne Street UMC is at 300 E. Wayne St. For detail, call (260) 422-4681. Enstrom encourages participants to reread the “Watchman” author’s better known novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” before the “Watchman” book study begins. The class will include discussion that compares and contrasts the two books.
Classes are held from 6-7:30 pm. However, during the class session on Wednesday, Sept. 30, the class will also watch the movie “To Kill a Mockingbird,” starring Gregory Peck. Because the movie runs two hours and nine minutes, that class session will last longer than usual. The “Go Set a Watchman” class is part of First Wayne Street’s program of Wednesday evening activities called “Making the Connection.” The program is designed to nurture and facilitate each person’s faith journey, and all are welcome. The church addresses interests of all ages in six-week and eight-week programs on Wednesday afternoons and evenings in
fall, winter and spring sessions. “Making the Connection provides a comfortable, loving atmosphere to adults, youth and children, with opportunities for everyone,” the church said in a statement. Adult activities include offerings from Bible study and book discussions to painting, gardening, crafts, quilting and more. Youth activities provide a gathering time for study and fellowship. Children’s activities combine lesson time, crafts, games and music. During this fall session, the You Can Paint class begins at 1 p.m. each Wednesday. Dinner is served at 5 p.m. in Fellowship Hall, and activities and classes begin at 6 p.m.

For their annual Care Ministry project, the second-graders at Central Lutheran School in New Haven are raising money and books to donate to Kate’s Kart, a local not-for-profit organization that supplies new, free books to hospitalized children. The founder of Kate’s Kart, Krista Layman, spoke to the second-graders about the company’s mission.
Dogs enjoying new Camp Canine on northside Dogs and their owners in north Fort Wayne now have access to a dog park closer to home. Camp Canine is open at Johnny Appleseed Park. Parks & Recreation Director Al Moll was joined by dog owners at the Camp Canine dedication.
“Residents on the north side of town have been requesting a dog park since we opened Pawster Park in Foster Park,” he said. “Johnny Appleseed Park seemed like the perfect location because we have enough space there and there are amenities nearby. Campers will also be able
SINCE 1927
to utilize the dog park, if their dogs have proof of all their vaccinations.” Camp Canine is 60,000 square feet of grassy, fenced play space, divided into two separate areas. Separating the space allows for crews to clean and mow one side while keeping the other side open. A 600-ft.

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.
