Respect and history share ights

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Honor Flight volunteers Deb Kindler and Bob Meyer speak affectionately of Albert Stiles.

They recall less than a year ago, when the World War II veteran and retired Fort Wayne musician joined 70 other Fort Wayne area veterans on a ight to see the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Meyer was Honor Flight Northeast Indiana president — a title that he still holds. Kindler was Stiles’ volunteer guardian for the day.

Honor Flight 12 will y April 30. Flight 13 will leave and return to Fort Wayne on May 28.

With those ights, Meyer said, Honor Flight Northeast Indiana will have carried 880 World War II veterans to Washington.

When Flight 14 takes off Oct. 1, it will carry some of the 200 Korean War veterans on Meyer’s waiting list. The older veterans have priority.

Focus on Health plans free or low-cost tests

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Focus on Health will offer free health checks at 12 venues in or near Fort Wayne through May 3.

The goal is to catch health risks before they advance into major problems, according to Marita Marquardt, R.N., who has directed the area health fairs since 1992.

Marquardt then worked for the Red Cross, which was an in-kind sponsor of the health fair. “So part

of my hours were donated to Focus on Health,” she said. Marquardt now works through the nonprofit agency full time, coordinating health fairs for adults and students.

“We have added a larger selection of lab testing and health checks,” Marquardt said in an email. “We have grown from being perceived as only a ‘senior’ clientele service and encourage people in their 20s and up to take

interest in their health.’”

The health fairs began April 11 at the University of Saint Francis. The next is April 23 at Parkview Field.

Each health fair will offer free checks of: blood pressure, body mass index, visual acuity and bone density. Patients will receive summaries and referrals. Select locations

Marquardt said in an interview. “The learning center exhibits are more service-oriented, not product-oriented, where people can get help or learn more about a certain topic — arthritis, sleeping disorders — or they can ďŹ nd out where the services are if they really need help,â€? she said.

Marquardt said the screenings serve about 3,000 people each year. “Our numbers are down because we’re not the only one in town now,� she said. Focus on Health was a pioneer in health fairs and served as the catalyst for others, Marquardt said.

The health fair concept was pioneered by Dr. John F. Brensike, according to Marquardt. “He was a cardiologist, and he wanted people to be more aware of their cholesterol,� she said. Convenient, neighborhood screenings encouraged people “to get involved in their health, be active, and not let someone else be responsible for your health,� she said.

RESPECT from Page A1 states, he became owner of Al Stiles World’s Best Shoe Shine in his adopted home of Fort Wayne.

“He was a Fort Wayne icon, of course,” Meyer said.

“He came dressed up with a bow tie on. He was just as cute as a speckled pup,” he said. “He was a very shy guy, but he was overwhelmed with the day in general.”

“I remember he said, ‘You guys have really exceeded my expectations,’ ” Meyer recalled.

“He was really fun, and a really cool guy.”

Deb Kindler knows the urgency of taking World War II veterans to see the monuments.

Kindler donated $400 for the privilege of being Stiles’ full-time guardian for the day. “It entails being glued to him for the day, and you don’t ever let him out of your sight,” she said. “You’re there to make sure they have a good time, that they’re taken care of.”

For Kindler, Stiles’ passing was a reminder of the urgency of taking World War II veterans to see the monuments.

Her father, Raymond Coe, was a Navy pilot in the Pacific in World War II — “and he saw a lot.”

“He died in 1989, and a few years after he died I was helping my mom with her checking account and paying bills and things like that, and I saw she was donating money to build a World War II memorial,” Kindler said of her work with her mother, MaryJane, who now also is deceased.

“And I said ‘Mom, stop doing that. Why are you sending them money?’

And she said, ‘Because I want to help build this memorial.’ ” Kindler said her father would not have admitted that he wanted to visit such a memorial. “I think the war affected him. He never talked about it,” she said.

“I wish the memorial had been there long ago, when my dad could have

seen it, because they deserve it,” she said.

Kindler works with Honor Flight Roanoke.

The committee works from Roanoke American Legion Post 160, but is not part of the Legion.

Nor is the committee an official part of Honor Flight Northeast Indiana.

But the Huntington County community raises a lot of money for the wider cause.

“That’s a fabulous group that’s done an unbelievable amount of financial support for us — $72,000 in four years,” Meyer said. “They’re a phenomenal group of people.”

An April silent auction at the Legion will be the third auction for the Roanoke committee, which will take a break from its traditional fall fundraiser because of competition from other festivals.

Hotels and businesses throughout the area contribute. Other sale items have included Colts tickets, a chainsaw and

gravel for driveways.

Meyer said other Fort Wayne businesses are planning fundraisers, with details to be announced.

Meyer is a veteran of 32 years with the Air National Guard in Fort Wayne. He retired in July 2002, with the rank of colonel.

He later heard about the Honor Flight from other veterans, and talked with then-President Laura Carrico. Then Tiffany Flemming became president. Then Meyer became president. He said his wife, Sandie, also works on the board. Max Robison is vice president.

“There are about three

or four of us who work almost full time on it,” Meyer said.

Meyer has a Leesburg address. Most of the 16 leaders live in or near Fort Wayne.

For details on the organization, or to apply as a veteran or a guardian, visit hfnei.org.

Meyer said Honor Flight originated in Springfield, Ohio, in 2004, when a retired Air Force captain working in a VA hospital “was talking with some of the vets about the new memorial that took 60 years to build.” Those veterans had no way of visiting the capital, Meyer said,

and so volunteers met the challenge. The first flight took 12 World War II veterans to the capital. As of Nov. 15, Honor Flights had carried 117,500 veterans to see the monuments. The national office remains where the movement started, in Springfield, Ohio.

Meyer said northeast Indiana’s is the senior of Indiana’s three groups.

Honor Flight organizations also operate from Lafayette and Indianapolis.

Unlike most members of the volunteer Roanoke committee, Tom Meyers is a veteran. He served in Vietnam.

He said more World War II veterans keep applying for the Honor Flights, which eventually will accommodate other veterans. “This isn’t gonna stop with the Korean vets. It’s going to go on to the Vietnam vets,” he said. “I’ve got 165 Korean vets signed up to go, and probably 10 Vietnam vets signed up to go.”

“The Vietnam thing — I had reservations,” Meyers said. “I was gonna get off the board when it came time for that, because I just didn’t want to be part of it then.

But after thinking about it, I want to be part of it because I want to see their welcome home.”

Meyers said veterans and guardians spend most of their time at the World War II Memorial, but also might see the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or the Lincoln Memorial. Three tour buses will carry the group to Arlington National Cemetery, where they will watch the changing of the guard. They also will visit the Air Force Memorial, for a noon meal.

she said. “It’s up there in the top five days of my life.”

Veterans will be greeted by people cheering and dancing. “They make it a huge party for them,” Black said.

“When you arrive, you have these men who are in a shell, and they don’t want to talk about their experience. But by the end of the day you see them open up and shed some of the baggage that they’ve carried for these years,” she said.

“And when you see them stand there at the World War II Memorial — and I’m getting choked up, because it’s so amazing — they see that they are appreciated, and you know they are the greatest generation.

“And by the time of the flight home, those men are talking and sharing stories, and it’s just like they’re kids again.”

“We make them feel as special as we possibly can,” she said.

Black estimated that 15 veterans from Huntington County have been part of the flights.

Meyers said Tom Kelley and family stepped forward last fall, when the Air National Guard at the Fort Wayne International Airport was idled by the federal government shutdown. “So the Kelleys let us fly out of Hangar 39,” Meyers said. Because that hangar was outside the military security area, Meyers said, “The public pretty much overran the place.”

“We’re gonna fly out of the Air Guard this year.

They’re gonna get breakfast there,” Meyers said.

The return flight will taxi to Hangar 39, where the public again can be part of the welcome.

“We want to carry on the tradition and educate the future generations about how important past generations were,” Black said, “and why you’re here, and why you get to do what you do.”

Dupont MinuteClinic opens A MinuteClinic walk-in medical clinic has opened inside the CVS/pharmacy store at 770 E. Dupont Road. It is the eighth MinuteClinic location in northeast Indiana and the 43rd location in the state.

MinuteClinic, a division of CVS Caremark Corp., is the largest provider of retail medical clinics in the United States.

No appointments are required at MinuteClinic and most health insurance is accepted. For patients paying cash or credit, prices are posted at each clinic and at minuteclinic. com. The cost for most treatment starts at $79.

MinuteClinic practitioners use a software program that at the conclusion of each visit generates educational material, an invoice and a prescription (when clinically appropriate) for the patient, and

a diagnostic record that can be sent via electronic health record, fax or mail to a primary care provider with patient permission.

Other local MinuteClinic locations are at 6729 E. State Blvd., 10180 Illinois Road, and 13821 Leo Road in Leo-Cedarville. “Since opening the ďŹ rst store-based clinic in Indiana in 2005, Minute Clinic has helped to expand access to highquality, convenient and affordable care to thousands of residents at convenient CVS/pharmacy locations near where they live and work,â€? said Andrew Sussman, M.D., president, MinuteClinic and senior vice president/ associate chief medical ofďŹ cer, CVS Caremark Corp. “MinuteClinic can be part of the solution to Indiana’s efforts to

broaden access to quality health services.�

MinuteClinic nurse practitioners specialize in family health care and can diagnose, treat and write prescriptions for common family illnesses such as strep throat and ear, eye, sinus, bladder and bronchial infections.

Minor wounds, abrasions, skin conditions and joint sprains are treated, and common vaccinations such as inuenza, tetanus, pneumonia and Hepatitis A and B are available at most locations.

In addition, Minute Clinic administers a series of wellness services designed to help patients identify lifestyle changes needed to improve their current and future health, including screenings and monitoring for diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Health center opens on Paulding Parkview Health and Neighborhood Health Clinics announced the opening of the Parkview Neighborhood Health Center. Located at 3350 E. Paulding Road, the newly constructed 7,500-square-foot facility will be home to a number of health and well-being related services.

Neighborhood Health Clinics will lease and occupy about 6,200 square feet. This space will serve as a satellite ofďŹ ce for Neighborhood Health Clinics and will include medical clinic services with plans for WIC ofďŹ ces opening later in 2014 and dental clinic services opening in early

2015. Neighborhood Health Clinics is a Federally QualiďŹ ed Health Center serving northeast Indiana. The area surrounding the new site at 3350 E. Paulding Road has few medical or dental providers and is designated as a Medically Underserved Population Area.

The Parkview Center for Healthy Living will occupy about 1,300 square feet of the facility. Services to be provided by staff at this center include safe sleep, diabetes, asthma, nutrition and CPR education. Smoking cessation, exercise samplers and cooking demos will also be provided at this ofďŹ ce.

Northrop teen job fair invites business advice The Northrop High School PTSA is inviting businesses to share their stories with prospective teen employees.

The first Teen Job Fair will be held at 6 p.m.

Tuesday, April 29, at the high school, 7001 Coldwater Road.

PTSA Co-Presidents Kathie Green and Theresa Distelrath issued the invitation in a link to the March 16 edition of the “Bear Necessities” digital newsletter.

“One of the untold stories of the recent economic downturn was its impact on young adults,” Distelrath and Green wrote. “In 2011, the proportion of young people employed in July — the month that the National Bureau of Labor Statistics captures data

for teenagers — was at its lowest percentage since data was first collected in 1948. The job search process is more competitive than ever for these young people; and yet, the need to work is greater, as family incomes are strained.”

“Recognizing the nature of the job market and the critical need for building employment experience during the teenage years, our PTSA wants to help explore ways to connect young people with employment opportunities,” they continued.

“Our hope is to connect young people with representatives from businesses and organizations offering employment, volunteer, internship and job training opportunities to teens.”

Business representa-

tives will provide the teens with information about opportunities within their organizations, distribute applications, answer questions and share contact information.

Educational workshops are also offered to help teens develop job search skills.

Speakers also are needed to teach workshops on topics such as resumes, how to fill out an application, and interview tips.

Interested employers may email kathie.green@ frontier.com or distelratht@hotmail.com.

“This new project continues the work we have done hosting a College and Career Fair for FWCS students for the last three years,” the two wrote.

Community ‘Kickstarts’ festival IPFW has joined forces with Arts United, the Downtown Improvement District, Fort4Fitness, Fort Wayne Trails, Visit Fort Wayne, and the YLNI Barr Street Market to announce Kickstart, presented by Parkview Health, a one-day community festival that celebrates bikes, art and music in downtown Fort Wayne.

The first Kickstart festival on Saturday, May 17, will highlight the presentation of the IPFW Sculpture with PurposeTM bike racks, sponsored by Lincoln Financial Group and commissioned by IPFW to commemorate its 50th Celebration.

For festival details, visit visitfortwayne.

com/kickstart.

Redwood plans four apartment developments

By Linda Lipp llipp@kpcmedia.com

Ohio-based Redwood Living will bring its distinctive single-story apartment-homes concept to Fort Wayne beginning this year, with four complexes that will contain a total of more than 500 units.

Bill Drinkall and NAI Harding Dahm have been acting as northeast Indiana site selector for the apartment builder and manager, which also is looking at locations in Warsaw, Elkhart and Mishawaka, and already has several complexes in Indianapolis.

Work has already begun on the first of the Fort Wayne projects, Maplecrest

by Redwood, and a ceremonial groundbreaking was scheduled for March 21.

Redwood also is planning complexes: at Lima and Wallen roads; off Diebold Road; and at Noyer Road off Illinois Road.

Its total investment in the projects is estimated at $35 million to $45 million.

Except for two upscale complexes near the Parkview Regional Medical Center campus, there haven’t been a whole lot of new apartments built in Fort Wayne in the last few years, Drinkall said.

“Now, I think there are more people looking,” he said.

Bob Hudson of BND Commercial has been specializing in the multifamily real-estate business for 35 years. He also thinks the time is right for the type of upscale units Redwood builds.

“I think they’re going to rent extraordinarily fast and (Redwood) is going to do extraordinarily well,” he said.

Redwood’s target markets are emptynesters and younger professionals, and the company duplicates the style and structure of its units, with some mostly cosmetic differences, in all its projects.

Each apartment community consists entirely of single-story, two-bedroom, two-bath units, about 1,300 square feet in size, with private attached two-car garages. The open concept design and generous living spaces are more like condominiums — or what in Fort Wayne might be called “villaminiums” — but without the upfront purchase costs and ongoing condo fees.

“It’s going to be a home without having a home,” Drinkall said.

The complexes don’t have clubhouses, although Redwood does build in walking trails. And the biggest advantage of the Drinkall single-story style is there is no one upstairs creating noise.

“It’s quiet. From the start, that’s what they did and people have enjoyed it. It says something for them that all their properties have waiting lists,” Drinkall said.

Rents in Redwood’s Fort Wayne communities will be a little higher than elsewhere in the market, “but in line with what others are charging,” Drinkall added.

Fort Wayne’s apartment market changed forever in the 1960s when developer Tom Eckrich built Canterbury Green, Hudson reflected. Before that, apartments were primarily “B” or “C” class.

“Everything was very old,” he said.

Canterbury’s 2,000 units were enough to meet demand in Fort Wayne for a good 10 years, Hudson continued.

Occupancy rates in the mid-1990s were about 93 to 94 percent, and then another 3,500 units came into the market over a year and a half. The occupancy rate dropped to about 90 percent “and they never really recovered,” Hudson said.

“People could afford to buy a home, and that created an even larger vacancy problem.”

Still, by about 2005, apartment complexes here had reached their apex of value and a lot of projects were sold.

“Now, they can’t get back what they paid for them,” Hudson said.

The fact that Redwood is building new complexes in Fort Wayne may signal better times ahead for other apartment communities here, Hudson noted. If Redwood can demand and get higher rents for its Class A properties, then rents for existing “B” and “C” properties, which have been fairly stagnant, may also begin to rise.

And the number of units Redwood is building is not large enough to have a negative impact on vacancy rates, he added.

Time to register for May cleanup Fort Wayne residents are asked to pitch in to remove trash and debris from roadsides, sidewalks and riverbanks during the Great American Cleanup on Saturday, May 17.

Residents, families, churches, youth organizations and schools are asked to register by calling 311 by Friday, April 18. Advance registration allows the city to accommodate volun-

teers with event T-shirts, gloves and trash bags.

Last year more than 190,000 pounds of litter and debris was collected from Fort Wayne’s neighborhoods, parks, roadways, trails and riverbanks.

The Great American Cleanup is the country’s largest beautification and community improvement effort. Nationwide, there were more than 4 million

volunteers last year.

Fort Wayne’s cleanup efforts focus on neighborhoods, vacant lots, trails and greenways, graffiti removal, streets and roads, and rivers. The event is an opportunity for neighborhood associations, church groups, service organizations, youth groups, schools, and all residents to help make a difference in the community.

Diva Dash helps Girls on the Run Diva Dash will dash through Fort Wayne on Saturday, May 31, and a local charity will beneďŹ t.

Girls and women of all ages may join the run, which last year raised more than $3,000 for a national womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year that money is going to a local group, Girls on the Run, and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real nice ďŹ t,â&#x20AC;? said Maureen Partee, the marketing director for Georgetown Square, 6400 E. State Blvd.

The 5K run/walk will step off from in front of Curves in Georgetown at 8 a.m.

Registration is available online and in person through race day.

Partee explained that Girls on the Run is a 10-week program for girls ages 8 to 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to help build up their self-esteem, and the activities culminate with this run,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She said Girls on the Run is slowly building, adding more schools and serving more girls in grades ďŹ ve through eight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have mentors who go into the schools and work with the girls, and just kind of build the girls up,â&#x20AC;?

Partee said. An accomplishment such as ďŹ nishing a race â&#x20AC;&#x153;always makes people feel good,â&#x20AC;? she said.

After the program, girls receive continuing support.

Those most in need will receive scholarships.

Each of the GOTR entrants will be accompanied by a running buddy. Though the race is just for girls and women, some of those running buddies might be men.

Partee said the race drew about 350 entrants last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has increased every year and this is the fourth year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have different age groups, and the Fort Wayne Track Club is out there with timers.â&#x20AC;?

She said race veterans get some of their best times at the Diva Dash, and novices also beneďŹ t from the hospitable course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a good time because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ&#x201A;at surface, the race is held before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too warm out, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of shade,â&#x20AC;? she said. In a news release, organizers said Girls on the Run is a life-changing, character development program. In other Georgetown events, Partee announced that the summer concert series has been conďŹ rmed.

League in sixth season of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;something goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You tell people that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something good here in the community.â&#x20AC;?

Sherri Emerson manages information as efďŹ ciently as her brother Steve manages basketball.

Both work on behalf of Summit City Youth Prep Basketball League.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost year-round work for Sherri and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach.â&#x20AC;? When one season ends, another begins, and recruiting continues. That makes fund raising an ongoing project, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reaching out because we want to continue helping kids,â&#x20AC;?

Sherri said of her appeal to sponsors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be a point of light, where we can have something where they can come to. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming a well known organization out in the community, and a lot of coaches are familiar with what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;?

The league is halfway through its sixth season, playing each Saturday in the gym at Parkwood Church of God, 3320 Trier Road, at the southest corner of the Hobson Road intersection. The ďŹ rst game begins at 10 a.m. each Saturday through May 3. Admission is $5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The league offers organized competitive basketball at a low cost,â&#x20AC;?

Sherri said in a letter

to potential sponsors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Furthermore, we are helping students who were not fortunate enough to make their own high school basketball team.â&#x20AC;?

Sherri Emerson directs most of the credit to her brother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Emerson is doing the play-byplay,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a walking encyclopedia on sports. There is nothing he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about basketball and football.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting. The parents love it. The kids love it. So it just adds one more positive thing for the children to hear what the coach has to say, like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Somebody made a shot from downtown.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

To be eligible for the league, players must carry at least a C average at school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach looks at the report cards, too,â&#x20AC;?

Sherri said.

Off the court, Sherri is the voice of the league.

And she is the walking encyclopedia of details. â&#x20AC;˘ Athletes are being challenged to raise $95 each for a fundraiser from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, at Parkwood. Sponsors will promise $3 for a 3-point shot, $1 for a free throw, and so on. The public is invited to watch; admission is $5. â&#x20AC;˘ The regular season ends April 26, with two games each morning.

The one-day, post-season tournament will be at Parkwood on Saturday, May 3, with games at

10 and 11, followed by the championship game.

Again, admission is $5 for the morning. â&#x20AC;˘ The post-season banquet will be sometime in May. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking suggestions for another high-proďŹ le speaker familiar with youth issues; call her at 440-6105. â&#x20AC;˘ The Summer Gym Rats League for high school athletes ages 14-18 will be Aug. 7 through Sept. 4. Team registration for the 10-game season is $225, due at sign-up.

Call Steve Emerson at 418-7009. â&#x20AC;˘ The 2015 winter league will add cheerleaders, ages 12 to 18.

Interested girls may call her at 440-6105. Two former cheerleaders will coach the girls.

She said all those plans mean additional expenses, for referees, trophies, T-shirts and the banquet.

Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the matter of the gym and the use of the water, lights, scoreboard and public address system at Parkwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something great for us, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this for free,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Steve Emerson played high school ball, and works as a driver.

Sherri Emerson played basketball in grade school, and works as a substitute teacher. She leaves basketball to her brother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just an organizer,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been our biggest attendance this year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly going to get chairs. But we want the people, especially the people that live in the area, to know that we have something good going on in the community, and we want them to come out and be supporters.â&#x20AC;?
