Football rivals focus on values

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Ryan Townsend and Karen Martin-Coleman share a vision for semi-pro football in Fort Wayne. Both coaches want the players to excel on the field, gain exposure for their next opportunity, and act as role models and mentors in the community. Both want to bring a Cross Roads Football League championship to town.

That’s where the agreement ends.

Martin-Coleman owns the Indiana Cardinals.

That team survived the Midwest Football League but sat out the 2013 season.

Townsend coaches and owns the Allen County Lions, which arose last year during the Cardinals’ absence.

The Cardinals are back.

The Lions are standing their ground. Both teams have their sights on the league title.

The second challenge is to give the audience what they expect and still keep the show fresh.

“We try to develop new material. That’s part of the fun for us is to go out and play new material,” he said. “So we’ll be playing

some songs at Georgetown that we did not play before.

“Of course there are some songs that if we do not play them, people will come up and ask ‘Why did you skip that song?’ So it’s a mixture of what people are familiar with and some See BAND, Page A15

The Georgetown Fridays concert series is back for 2014, and so is the Junk Yard Band.

The free music flows freely from the East State Boulevard shopping center beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Friday, June 27.

That’s when Dale Pequignot and the Junk Yard Band take on a difficult task; they have two hours to play four decades of great music. They’ve been playing their fans’ favorites since about 1978.

And every classic song they play was new not that long ago.

“We plays ’50s and ’60s rock ’n’ roll, but we also expand it into the ’70s and ’80s, so we just call it good, fun rock ’n’ roll,” Pequignot said. The “oldies” label usually is associated with just the first

Walkers still have time to register for the Relay for Life for Eastern Allen County.

That event will be held from 9 a.m. Saturday, June 21, to 9 a.m. Sunday, June 22, at New Haven High School, 1300 Green Road in New Haven. Visit relayforlife.org/easternallencountyin to register or to donate.

A running tally showed 32 teams and 204 participants had raised $17,808.08 as of May 28.

“Our goal is to raise $80,000 and to recognize 80 survivors in the community,” said Melissa Stevens, the American Cancer Society staff member who works with the Eastern Allen County event.

Four Relays were held in Allen County last year. Those events were combined into two Relays this year. Relay for Life for West Allen County

was held May 17-18 at Summit Middle School in Aboite Township.

“It’s projected to hit the goal of $55,000, which is awesome,” Stevens said.

“We saw 19 teams come out to the track that day, and it was brutally cold. It was a great turnout despite the weather.”

Amy Saxton is the volunteer event chair for the Relay for Life for Eastern Allen County.

“We have 31 teams and each team typically has from 12 to 20 on their team, and their friends and family are invited,” Saxton said, “so we probably will have from three- to five-hundred people there.”

“We will have live entertainment, music, activities for adults and children, including cornhole, a dance competition, a karaoke competition, a survivor dinner, and a silent auction,” she said.

Carroll High School senior Abby Lemert has been named a Presidential Scholar, one of only Lemert 141 students who will receive that honor June 22 in Washington, D.C. In turn, she has honored Tish Clendenen as her “most inuential teacher.â€?

Lemert was taking a foreign language for advanced placement credit and was a sophomore in her third year of Spanish when she entered Clendenen’s classroom. “By the time I walked out of there, I knew that Spanish was something I wanted to pursue,� Lemert said.

Clendenen returned the compliment. “She was always strong, willing to do whatever I asked her to do and more,� she said. “She’s just an impressive individual and a good person, too. She deserves it. This is huge.�

Clendenen, in her sixth year at Carroll, is on maternity leave. She said

she learned of Abby’s selection — and her own honor — as she and her husband were watching TV. “Seeing my name scroll across the bottom of the screen was bizarre.

I was so happy for Abby, and so honored that she chose me,� she said.

In an interview, Lemert also said Bruce and Doris Lemert have been supportive throughout her education. “My parents have always been very inuential, helping me in school and taking me to all my activities,â€? she said.

Bruce Lemert said Abby was academically inclined at an early age. The family moved to Fort Wayne and Pine Valley from Iowa, when Abby was 3. At that time, Bruce was an auditor, making stops in Canada. “Some teachers said girls can’t do math,�

Bruce recalled. But Abby sat in her car seat, converting centigrade to Fahrenheit.

In Fort Wayne, Abby attended a Montessori school and then Northwest Allen County Schools.

Abby said she plans to attend Purdue University, where she will study engineering.

The Presidential Scholars include one young man and one young woman from each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and from U.S. families living abroad, 15 chosen at-large, and 20 U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts.

Lemert and her fellow scholars will receive their medallions at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium on Constitution Avenue in the capital. Students also will receive a salute the next day at Kennedy Center.

Created in 1964, the program has honored more than 6,500 students. The program was expanded in 1979 to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, literary and performing arts.

Truck & tractor pull features antique power

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

The clay track of the Arcola National Truck & Tractor Pull has special meaning to John Brandon.

The Aboite Township man and his Mizpah Shrine Antique Power Club colleagues pull the competing tractors back to the starting line after each pull. Brandon also mows the grass on the pull park, which is owned by Lake Township and which each June is host to the noisy fundraiser for the Arcola Fire Department.

“My dad was the first fire chief out there,” Brandon said. That was 1954, when John C. “Cliff” Brandom Sr. headed the department and the first Arcola pull was part of the now-vanished Arcola Days celebration.

“My mother just passed away a few years ago, and she lived on the farm out there all her life, almost,” Brandon said. “Cliff” Brandom died in 1983.

Jessie I. Brandom died in 2012.

Brandon’s service helped to earn him the selection as Arcola Volunteer Fire Department Citizen of the Year in 2009, the same year that he and his wife, Jan, bought an ad in the tractor pull program, listing all 31

original members of the fire department.

“I believe firmly in giving back,” Brandon said. “The good Lord was darn good to me and my family, and I firmly believe in giving back to the community, the Shrine and the kids.”

Brandon said he and his father were close friends with Leonard “Babe” Branning, who left the tractor pull grounds to the township. “He donated all that land,” Brandon said.

“That really makes that thing fly. There are a lot of volunteers. That’s what really makes it happen.

“It takes a lot, but it’s a good organization, and it’s all done for the fire department.”

Ken Kurtz is versed in the pull’s long history.

“It started at what we

called Arcola Days,” Kurtz said. “Like all the other towns have their own days to make money for the community, we had a tractor pull on the school grounds.”

The pull survived; the festival did not.

“They’d just take a road-grader and make a track,” Kurtz said. “They had sleds designed originally where people would get on at various stops to add weight, and that grew to where they got a bona fide weight transfer that was designed by a couple of local people.”

“And about 1977 they moved to the present grounds, which was owned by ‘Babe’ Branning. His brother Carl talked him into putting the track there. It was on a clay base that was

formerly a tile mill, and that was superb for making a tractor pull track. And so that’s where it’s been ever since.

“Babe allowed the fire department to set up the grounds and the bleachers and a tower for broadcasting the event, and in his will when he passed away two or three years ago he willed the actual grounds to the [Lake] Township.”

The fire department was guaranteed use of the grounds for the pull each year, Kurtz said.

The three-day parade of power is a fundraiser for the Arcola Volunteer Fire Department. It’s an important purpose for Kurtz, whose son Jon has

been a firefighter for 25 years. In all, more than 30 firefighters serve the department.

The Mizpah Shrine Antique Power Club pitches in each year, using vintage tractors to pull the tractors back to the starting point after each run.

This year, though, even more antique machines will be on hand.

“We plan to have an antique tractor parade on Friday night, to give a visual evolution of tractors from the early days to the present,” co-chair Lin Wilson said in an email.

The parade will be part of pre-pull festivities, which begin at 6 p.m.

Ken Kurtz plans to be

part of that parade.

He might drive his 1953 Farmall Super H that his father bought new.

Wayne Krider will steer his 5,500-horsepower, three-engine tractor down the course again this summer. The Churubusco puller has never won at Arcola, but he hopes this is his year.

The action starts with the Michindoh (Michigan, Indiana, Ohio) pull at 7 p.m. Thursday. NTPA pulls start at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

“I’ve been pulling about 35 years,” said the recent retiree of the Smith Township Fire Department. “I think the fire department and pulling started about See TRUCK, Page A4

TRUCK from Page A3 the same time in my life, and I’ve been going to Arcola for a lot of years.

“It’s one of my favorite pulls. And I never do well over there.”

Krider has had his titles, though, elsewhere in the Hoosier State Tractor Pullers circuit, the Wolverine Pullers circuit in Michigan, and the Region 2 (Midwest) region of the National Tractor Pullers Association.

“I’ve had a second place or two over the years,” he said, “but that win has eluded me all the years I’ve been pulling at Arcola.”

It’s an inviting venue, he said. “It’s close to home. I don’t have to drive for hours,” he said.

Other pulls are as far away as Minnesota and Alabama, May to October.

But Arcola’s lure isn’t just a matter of convenience.

“Over the years the Arcola bunch has progressed and progressed, and they’re one of the premier pull places in the country,” he said. “They treat the pullers well. They put on a big meal and feed us, and do what they can to accommodate us over there.”

Plus, he is almost a hometown favorite in nearby Arcola. “Busco represents pretty well over there for us,” Krider said.

He said his wife, Judy, accompanies him to a lot of pulls. She contributes away from the course, getting the camper ready for travel.

At the end of the road, though, is a very short drive that decides the winner.

“There is nothing like the feel of horsepower if you’re a gear-head,” Krider said. “If you’re a motor person, there’s nothing like when you

Tractor pull co-chair Matt Butts said ticket prices are unchanged this year, although age brackets have changed.

Plans are coming together well, he said, but the success of the pull

depends largely on the weather.

Both Butts and Wilson urged fans to check the website, arcolapull.com, for ticket details, schedules, and rules for fans and drivers.

Region 2 racers will return to the area at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, for a showdown in Roanoke.

If you’re contemplating using a pre-owned car seat, think about the safety of your baby and consider these questions:

* *

Is it possible that the seat has been in a crash?

Is the car seat more than six years old?

* *

Is the car seat missing parts?

Was the car seat recalled?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, or the car seat does not have an owner’s manual, it is not considered safe. You may want to think about purchasing a new one.

Teen’s letter leads to Earth Fare

By Linda Lipp llipp@kpcmedia.com

Earth Fare, the first of four new natural and organic grocers to open in Fort Wayne, came to town in part because of a letter written to the company by a local seventh-grader.

The company had had Fort Wayne on its radar before, said new store marketer Amanda Arnet, but it was a letter sent

by Nate Sutton, now an eighth-grader at Maple Creek Middle School, that prompted Earth Fare to take another look at the city and make the decision to open a store on the north side.

Sutton, who sent the letter as part of a class assignment, had visited Earth Fare’s Noblesville store. He noted that his sister suffered from food allergies, that there was a growing demand for healthier food alternatives in Fort Wayne such as those offered by Earth Fare and that Parkview Health had recently opened a huge regional medical center nearby.

Nate’s letter caught the attention of the right person, and that got the ball rolling.

“Obviously, Earth Fare looked in the area before, but the encouragement of someone within the area was just huge,” Arnet said.

Nate Sutton cuts the ribbon for the Earth Fare at Dupont and Coldwater roads in Fort Wayne. Eve Colchin, the director of business services for Greater Fort Wayne Inc., assists at the ceremony.

In recognition of his initiative, Sutton was selected to cut the ribbon when the store, in part of the former Scott’s grocery space at Dupont and Coldwater roads, opened May 7.

Nate’s sister, Jordan, now 11 and a student at Cedar Canyon Elementary School, also was on hand for the ribbon-cutting.

Jordan is dealing with celiac disease — a reaction to gluten — said her mother, Lana Sutton.

As it happens, the Sutton family and others soon will have other local options for natural and

organic foods as well.

Brian Hench, an executive with Chief Supermarkets group, plans to open teds market in the former Union Chapel Church at 12628 Coldwater Road later this year.

The name comes from Ted Hench, Brian Hench’s grandfather and one of the founders of Chief. The 10,000-squarefoot store will be a neighborhood market, cafe and wine bar.

Fresh Thyme Farmers Market, a new player in the natural-foods business, will open a store at the former Borders

bookstore location at Coldwater Road and Coliseum Boulevard this summer. Although its first store opened in Mount Prospect, Ill., just last month, it plans to have 60 stores in operation by 2019.

The company said its concept combines the experience of an outdoor farmers market with the convenience of a full-service grocery store.

An as-yet unnamed grocery that also will specialize in natural and organic foods is in the works at the former downtown Holiday Inn, now an independent and assisted-living facility called the Lamplight Inn, at 300 E. Washington Blvd. Bobby Petras, who is chief operating officer of Lamplight Communities, is installing the grocery store on part of the inn’s first floor.

In addition to the newcomers, there are plenty of existing options for people who prefer natural and organic products. Philip Beachy has run his family’s Health Food Shoppe of Fort Wayne at 3515 N. Anthony Blvd. for the better part of 40 years.

Fort Wayne also has a Fresh Market chain store on the southwest side, and the Three Rivers Co-op Natural Grocery and Deli at 1612 Sherman Blvd.

RELAY from Page A1 a lot of free food and all sorts of food that you can purchase as a donation.”

Activities such as a pajama party and a pizza party will be held throughout the night to keep people awake.

“And of course each team has to have a member walking at all times, during the whole 24 hours, so each team typically will assign someone to walk an hour each to fill the 24-hour time frame,” Saxton said.

The Relay begins with a 9 a.m. welcome ceremony.

Survivors and their caregivers will circle the track in a survivor lap that evening, and firefighters will escort them to the survivors dinner.

“At dusk, between 9:30 and 10, we do a luminary ceremony,” Saxton said.

“We have luminaries all around the field and we have a person who plays taps.”

Each luminaria is a weighted paper bag holding a candle. On each bag is written the name of a cancer survivor, or a tribute in memory of a cancer patient. Each name is announced during the ceremony. A $10 donation is requested.

“It gets to be extremely touching,” Saxton said.

“Especially during the luminary ceremony there won’t be a dry eye there.”

The 2014 Relay will be Saxton’s third as a volunteer, her first year as an event chair. “Cancer is pretty prevalent in my family,” she said.

The American Cancer Society for northeast Indiana also announced that the 16th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer will be held at a new venue this year. The event begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at Parkview Field. Visit makingstrideswalk.org/

fortwaynein to register, donate or follow the fundraising progress. The running tally as of May 28 was $27,561.16 pledged to 35 teams and 81 participants.

“We’re off to a great start and really excited about our new venue this year — Parkview Field,” said Mindy Torres, the ACS community events specialist coordinating the event.

“To see 400 survivors and almost 6,000 community members gathered in support of this cause is breathtaking, overwhelming,” Torres said.

“And it really provides hope for those who are newly diagnosed or those who have lost someone recently.”

The event will begin in the stadium. “The route is still being determined,” Torres said. “But we will walk come rain or shine.

We’ve had gorgeous weather the last several years.”

Kroger is the new presenting sponsor for the local Making Strides event.

a three-time breast cancer survivor, so I understand the impact on patients, their families and their care-givers.”

Ray Hess knows he’s not going to get rich by letting kids bowl for free.

Parents pay a one-time membership fee, and then each child may bowl two free games a day all summer at Georgetown Bowl, 6770 E. State Blvd.

“As far as an income producer, it’s marginal,” Hess said. “But we do get to introduce the kids to the sport.”

Visit KidsBowlFree.com/Georgetown to sign up. For details and hours, call Georgetown Bowl at 749-9610.

Usual shoe rental fees apply.

Hess said about 1,400 children took part last year, the first season of the program at Georgetown. Hess said more than 160 young bowlers had hit the lanes by the last day of school this season.

The program is available any time, any day. Bowling is subject to lane availability, and might be affected by corporate events or the limited summer leagues.

“We will have a separate youth program on Saturday morning, and probably an adult/youth [league] later in the summer,” Hess said. “One parent will bowl with one child, and we’ll make sure the child gets a brand new ball and bag.”

“This is a fantastic program. It’s actually a national program,” Hess said. More than 1,000 bowling centers in the United States and Canada are participating in the fifth annual Kids Bowl Free program.

Hess is in his second year at Georgetown Bowl. He previously managed bowling centers in South Bend and elsewhere in Fort Wayne.

Dachshund Dash returns to Hoagland Days

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Every dog has its day, and wiener dogs will have theirs Saturday afternoon, June 21, at Hoagland Days. The festival runs Thursday through Saturday, June 19-21.

Dachshund owners may bring their four-legged friends to Hoagland Community Park at 4 p.m. to share in the newest event in Hoaglandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual celebration.

The Dachshund Dash is very popular, said Annie

Counterman, a festival co-chairwoman. Dog owners may sign up by calling 820-3435, or by emailing klperry567@ yahoo.com.

The kiddie tractor pull also will return this year, after taking a break in 2013. That event also will be held Saturday afternoon. Counterman and co-chairwoman Sally Holle said a ďŹ nal events schedule, an entertainment bill, and the selection of the parade grand marshal will be posted on the Hoagland

Area Advancement Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, hoaglandin.com. Or visit Hoagland Days Fair on Facebook.

Candidates for queen, prince and princess will be introduced on opening night. New this year is the royal queen contest, for senior ladies from Hoagland. Winners in all categories will be decided by the number of rafďŹ&#x201A;e tickets they sell.

The HAAA will offer a ďŹ sh and tenderloin dinner Friday night. The prince and princess will be

crowned that evening, and the demolition derby will begin.

Saturday features the parade, silent auction, talent show, wine tasting, the HAAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barbecue chicken dinner and another night of the demolition derby.

The festival ends with the crowning of the queen and royal queen, merchants drawings and entertainment by Sierra Shame.

Amusement rides and a food court will be available throughout the

festival. A mechanical bull has been added to the adult beverages tent Friday evening. Other attractions include the merchants tent and bingo.

Entertainment will be offered each evening; details have yet to be determined.

All proceeds support the park and pavilion and the Hoagland Youth League, which offers softball, baseball, T-ball and lob-ball for kids.

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams also occupy the four diamonds some evenings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

game down there about every night it seems,â&#x20AC;?

Holle said.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memories Made in Hoagland.â&#x20AC;?

The festival takes months of planning, said Counterman, who has been involved with the project about six years.

About 50 people serve in one capacity or another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of lay low the last part of the year and then we get started again in January, making plans and getting organized,â&#x20AC;?

Counterman said.

YLNI launches concert series If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been to the natural amphitheater by the river in Headwaters Park, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hardly alone.

In fact, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been an advertised, organized event held there. But that will change this summer.

The Living Fort Wayne Concert Series, put on by Young Leaders of Northeast Indiana, will continue on Wednesday nights, July 2 and Aug. 6, in the amphitheater and feature two local bands per show.

Organizer Adam Bouthout said the events, which will run from 5-9 p.m. each night, are all about giving people something to do downtown on a weeknight.

ship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a Wednesday night concert series by the rivers,â&#x20AC;? he said, which is quite popular with young people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I wanted to bring something back to our city.â&#x20AC;?

So he brought the idea to YLNI, and the organization ran with it. The concert is open to all ages, and local food trucks Bravas and AfďŹ ne will be there to serve the hungry masses.

Other local collaborators have come aboard.

Fort Wayne OutďŹ tters and Bike Depot is offering a 20 percent discount on its kayak rentals each night, and river advocate Dan Wire will give pontoon rides, so concertgoers have the option to listen from land or water.

A beer garden will be available for attendees 21 and over, Bouthout said.

Admission to the beer garden is $1, but the family-friendly event itself is free.

The proceeds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the point, said Bouthout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just to show off what we have available â&#x20AC;Ś and offer a social gathering event on a weeknight instead of just weekends,â&#x20AC;? he said.

the events to the rivers seemed like a natural ďŹ t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just kind of piggybacking off of the city,â&#x20AC;? Bouthout said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of waiting years for them to ďŹ nish (the riverfront development) study and work and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We need entertainment on the river,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; we thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go ahead and do something.â&#x20AC;?

The amphitheater was chosen because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the few places in the city where a large event could be held right on the river. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the only area thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directly on the banks of the river that is accessible to a large crowd,â&#x20AC;?

Bouthout said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The band will literally be playing two feet away from the river.â&#x20AC;?

The lineup includes a number of local favorites.

July 2 will bring Left Lane Cruiser and Unlikely Alibi, and Adam Strack and Bluebird Revival will round out the series on Aug. 6. The series began June 4, with Sunny Taylor and Fernando Tarango and the Wickersham Brothers.

Bouthout, who was the catalyst for the concert series, said he got the idea while on a trip to Cincinnati last year with the Northeast Indiana Regional Partner-

Artisan gives keepsakes new life as jewelry

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

That broken keepsake doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be discarded, donated or stashed out of sight in a drawer.

Matt Breunig Breunig would rather â&#x20AC;&#x153;upcycleâ&#x20AC;? that trinket into jewelry.

The self-employed jeweler will join the juried vendors at the Covington Art Fair, June 21 and 22 at Covington Plaza, between West Jefferson Boulevard and Covington Road.

Admission is free. Fair hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Saturday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday.

Sponsors describe the Covington show as the premiere juried art fair in northeast Indiana.

Several local artists

are participating, as are artists from across the country. For photos

from past art fairs, visit Covington Art Fair on Facebook.

A sampling of other exhibitors includes: Allan Longroy, Fort Wayne, working in wood; Beth Forst, Noblesville, working in acrylic/oil; Gary Love, of Riverside, Calif., working in photography; John Mishler, of Goshen, working in sculpture; Nicole Moore, of Columbia City, working in watercolors; and Lisa Boesch, of Milford, Mich., working in textiles and wearable art.

Since graduating from Saint Cecilia High School in Hastings, Neb., Breunig has lived in many parts of the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to Texas Institute of Jewelry Technology in Paris, Texas, for an 18-month program for jewelry making and another one-semester course on gemology, for identi-

fying colored stones and grading diamonds,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He and Tyler met in Lafayette, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife is originally from Pennsylvania and they moved to Ossian when she was 9,â&#x20AC;? he said. Matt and Tyler moved to Ossian a little over a year ago.

Tyler does the marketing of the jewelry and the photography, and assists at shows such as the Covington Art Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bring along tools and work onsite,â&#x20AC;? Matt said.

He describes his style as eclectic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a traditional jeweler for over 20 years, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working in gold and diamonds, and in 2010 we started working for ourselves and then I started using alternative metals, such as brass and copper,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I use old watch parts to make jewelry. I incorporate old pieces. And steampunk is the name of that genre.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in it a couple years, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around a little while. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of opened a whole new world to me.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;upcycling,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; where you take pieces that are no longer usable for their original intent and upcycle them for something else.â&#x20AC;?

Customers have become used to seeing him year after year at the same Dayton, Ohio, art fairs, and some have begun returning with jewelry remnants to be repurposed.

He said a Nebraska family recently sent a whole box of watches they inherited, and he rebuilt each one into something special for a family member.

He hopes for the same experience at Covington.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a vendor like this is a good way to be a mobile billboard without having to invest in a storefront,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had people approach me and ask if I can do this and that.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to reply according to the customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style, whether traditional or more modern.

See samples of his work at Jewelry by Matt Breunig, on Facebook.

He markets his jewelry online through etsy.com.

To qualify for that site, items must be hand-made by the artisan or vintage items at least 40 years old.

Anyone who would like to discuss their request before the art fair may call Breunig at (937) 499-3600.

Healthy Times

Summer’s time to ‘Share the Road’ Officials from Parkview Trauma Centers, the City of Fort Wayne, the Indiana State Police, and other partnering agencies joined in reminding motorists, cyclists and runners that it’s important for everyone to “Share the Road” this time of year. As part of the announcement, the Parkview Trauma Centers team distributed more than 200 helmets to the students at East Wayne Street Head Start.

“As the temperature warms up, Parkview Trauma Centers see a high number of trauma-related injuries that involve those riding bicycles or motorcycles causing serious, if not life-threatening injuries,” said Lisa Hollister, program manager, Parkview Trauma Centers. “Encouraging motorists to allow extra space on the roadways can prevent the life-threatening injuries we see every day.”

“The Share the Road campaign emphasizes a number of very important traffic safety initiatives which, in turn, helps promote the Indiana State Police’s overall goal of public safety,” said Sgt. Ron Galaviz, public information officer, Indiana State Police. “This opportunity for officers to connect with the public on a more personal level allows us a chance to drive home this important safety message in hopes of potentially preventing unnecessary injuries or even death.”

As part of the Share the Road campaign, numerous billboards have been placed throughout the greater Fort Wayne area featuring

runners, cyclists and motorcyclists.

The billboards will appear on a rotating basis over the next several months. A vehicle donated by Evans Toyota has also been wrapped with a creative design reminding motorists to be aware of their surroundings.

Organizers offered these safety tips for motorists.

Stay at least three feet from bicycles, one full lane of driving width for motorcycles.

When turning across traffic, look carefully.

Turn on your lights at dusk to help cyclists and other motorists see you.

When passing a bicycle, hug the center line and pass at 15 mph or less. If no vehicles are approaching from the other direction, cross the

center line slightly to allow the cyclist more room.

When parking along a street, check for cyclists before opening the car door.

A horse and buggy averages between 5 mph and 8 mph.

A horse is not a machine. Motorists should use care when driving close or passing a buggy as horses can be unpredictable.

Organizers offered these motorcycling safety tips.

Always wear a helmet that fits correctly.

Know your bike’s limits.

Stick to posted speed limits.

Don’t tailgate other vehicles.

Always use your signals and remember to turn them off.

Be respectful of other drivers.

Don’t weave through traffic or drive on the shoulder.

Organizers offered these bicycling safety tips: Wear a bike helmet at all times.

Don’t text and ride.

Obey all traffic laws, signs and signals.

Keep brakes, lights, reflectors, horn or bell, and all safety devices in good working condition.

Learn and use hand signals for turns and stops.

Keep both hands on the handlebars, except to signal a turn or stop.

Avoid riding after dark. If you must ride after dark, use a headlight and reflectors, and wear light-color clothing.

Never hold on to a truck, car or other moving vehicles.

Vitality Awards applaud health awareness efforts The McMillen Center for Health Education honored John McMillen with the 2014 Janus Award.

Awards in four other categories also were presented May 15 at the Landmark Centre.

The McMillen family helped to found the McMillen Center. “Their efforts to encourage healthy activities include investment in youth sports, community parks and education,” the agency said in a news release.

“We enjoy when John comes to tour the center and to see how we are doing and what new programs we are offering,” said Holli Seabury, McMillen Center CEO. “John’s business experience allowed him to see the strategic need for our second interactive video conferencing studio. As school field trip budgets decrease, we have had an increase in distance learning programs. We are able to teach anywhere in the world through our studios and expand the Center’s reach.”

The Health Education Award, sponsored by Parkview Physicians Group-Cardiology, is awarded to those who work to instill the value of health and wellness as a way of life, and partner with the McMillen Center in that mission. The 2014 recipient is Suzy Beard, of Matthew 25.

The Wellness Award, sponsored by Physicians Health Plan, recognizes people who advance knowledge about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The 2014 co-recipients are Sue Ehinger, Parkview Health, and Nancy Louraine, Turnstone.

The Prevention Award recognizes people working to prevent health issues through their advocacy, education and other outreach efforts. The 2014 recipient is Marita Dwight-Smith, the director of the Breast Diagnostic Center.

The Student Ambassador Award, recognizes a young adult who received McMillen Center programming while in school and who feels that the programming helped them to decide to pursue a health related career. Ashley Anglin, an IPFW dental hygiene graduate, also receives $500 toward her education costs.

A record 53 teams and more than 560 walkers participated. Pinkie Louden, who was the top fundraiser for the event, brought in $2,570 in donations. Ella Miller sang the national anthem.

Kim Fislar gave the keynote address. The Bishop Luers Dance Team and their coach, Cindy Figel, performed a “flash mob” at the event.

Cancer Services thanked 20 sponsors for their help.

Last year, more than 2,600 local people with cancer and their families received emotional support and practical resources for their cancer journey through Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana. The agency helps people who live in Allen and 10 nearby counties.

Nurses expand responsibilities Lutheran Health Network officials announced the promotion of two nurses to Quinones high-ranking leadership positions.

Among his Cardinals teammates was Courtney Martin, who at age 35 still plays cornerback and defensive back for the Cardinals.

“We’re a veteran team.

They’re a young team.

We’ve been around the block a couple times,” Martin said. “They all have something to prove, and we’re gonna try not

to let them prove that statement that they’re trying to make.”

Martin, who played for South Side and then for three years in the Marine Corps, said he’s still young enough to deliver and absorb the hits of tackle football. “I really don’t feel it on Saturday,” he said. “Sunday morning I might be a little tender.

But once I get off the bed and get going, I’m back to normal.”

He is not the team’s senior player. Nor is his brother, Corey Martin, who is 39. The brothers owe their continuing football careers to their team owner. She is also the league commissioner. She is also their mom.

“My oldest son, Corey, was a running back at Concordia and played at Ball State, and I guess he never got done with it because he’s still playing here now,” Martin-

“The Cardinals have been around since 2007 and we took a break last year thinking that we would not bring the team back,” she said.

“But because there are so many football players that are so committed to the Cardinals, they decided to bring it back, and I got on board with it.”

“My boys had started playing with a team called the South Bend Stampede, and they actually went out to practice in South Bend twice a week and then they played games on Saturdays,” she said. “When that team folded, there was a team here that only lasted a year, and my boys were like ‘Mom, you can do this.’ And I had been a coach, and there’s so much talent here in Fort Wayne that they put the

“What makes the Lions special is these guys here,” Townsend said during an interview at practice at Tillman Park.

“They’re young, hungry, inexperienced at this level, but they bring a lot to the game.

The money goes to pay the league and ofďŹ cials and to buy jerseys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how much they love football; they pay to play,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Townsend said he expects Lions fans to ďŹ ll the stands again this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made a little change,â&#x20AC;? he said of the 2013 season, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but everything that was brought into the organization went back in, for uniforms, equipment, paint to paint the helmets, and the decals for the helmets.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps keep the organization alive, keeps it moving,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to have more programs birthed out of the football program, so the guys can go out into the community and be mentors to the younger guys, the younger kids,

together during the week, after the game. Everybody on our team is like brothers.â&#x20AC;?

On the ďŹ eld, though, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the game.

In the separate training camps, veterans of high school, college, military, semi-pro and indoor pro football leagues talk about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next, about rumors of pro scouts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is real-life, realdeal football,â&#x20AC;? Townsend said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys go in,

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not tag.â&#x20AC;?

Townsend said Fort Wayne and northeast Indiana football fans can support both teams, and the rivalry will help both teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mission for

the team and their mission for their team is probably different, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still the same,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still giving the guys the opportunity to play football, and get themselves prepared and ready to go on to the next level, whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college or Arena football, or to get a trial walk-on somewhere.

And it goes deeper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to educate them to achieve their stride in the ďŹ eld of play.â&#x20AC;?

Churubusco’s Turtle Days honors the elusive Oscar

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

Kids and adults race all yearlong, but turtles star in the races once each summer.

The race is a highlight of the Churubusco Turtle Days festival, which ends June 14. Catch the festival finale fireworks at 10:15 p.m. Saturday in the town park.

Kids and former kids know the story of Oscar the Turtle, for whom the festival is named.

“I am a lifelong Churubuscian,” said Nicole Kirkpatrick, the festival president, who grew up in Oscar’s huge oval shadow.

She has heard Oscar’s story every summer of her life. “He was a hometown legend,” Kirkpatrick said. The community has been celebrating Oscar’s odyssey since 1949. The story, though, builds on a story that started generations earlier.

“There was a very large

Prizes are awarded in six categories.

turtle that was supposedly found here in town,” she said. “There was a huge hunt for him. People from all over the country came to hunt the turtle. At one point they say they caught him, and he escaped.”

To honor Oscar, crowds gather in the town park each June for food and games and turtle races.

Though Oscar is expected to miss his namesake festival — again — Churubusco won’t

want for turtles.

“Our entire park is flooded in turtle activities,” Kirkpatrick said. A costumed Oscar will roam the crowd and be available for photos with the kids.

Kids will already be in the park for Kids Day starting at 9:30 Saturday, and can move to the next ball diamond at 11 to register for the turtle races, at noon. “Everyone is invited to join in, bring a turtle and see if you can win,” Kirkpatrick said.

The fastest turtle gets a prize. So do the smallest turtle, the largest turtle, the farthest traveled turtle and the strangest looking turtle.

Turtles are not known to train for the races. There is no official time for warmup or stretching.

“Everybody has their own little routine with the turtles,” Kirkpatrick said. “The gentleman who runs it has some experience with turtles. We had a sick turtle last year

and he nursed it back to health.” Eligible turtles are released back into the wild.

The festival itself cautions kids that some turtle species are in danger and should not be disturbed. Find those instructions at turtledays. com.

That site also has more festival features, and a story about how Oscar got his name. Kirkpatrick can vouch for the festival details and the committee that has brought it all together, though she said everything is subject to change. As for the legend, Kirkpatrick can only repeat what she has heard.

Oscar’s legacy grows with each festival. On today’s site, he is seen twirling on his hind legs and plucking a bass banjo.

Kirkpatrick doesn’t know whether Oscar really is musically talented. “We hope he is,” she said.

Kirkpatrick, as a native Churubuscian, has heard

every Oscar story. She is sharing them with her daughters Nevaeh, 8, and Kinley, 5. Kirkpatrick got involved with the festival, she said, because her uncle, Thomas Fletcher, was a longtime member of the board. He passed away five years ago, and Kirkpatrick’s cousin stepped in. It can be a big job. “I wanted to volunteer too,” Kirkpatrick said.

“We have probably six members of our family who are involved with the board. This is just a way to connect with him.”

A festival-related golf tournament and a Texas Hold’em tournament are named for Fletcher.

“We’re in a rebuilding stage, a whole new board,” Kirkpatrick said. “We’re trying a lot of new things this year.”

“We have cornhole, a barbecue cookoff and poker runs, and a bit of everything. We try to have something for each genre,” she said.

Anyone who can’t spot Oscar from the ground might want to scout for him from another festival addition, helicopter rides.

Even the amusement company is new this year.

“Poor Jack Amusements has a great midway. We’re really excited to have them,” Kirkpatrick said.

Profit from the festival goes to the town park and other community needs.

Already, Kirkpatrick is watching the Turtle Days tradition take root with another generation of Churubuscians.

“They love it,” she said of her daughters. “Actually my oldest daughter had an idea to do a drawing contest, so this year we’re going to set up a booth for the kids to draw their version of Oscar, and I’ve got a couple of TinCaps tickets for the winner.”

She said Nevaeh “loves to go to school and tell the kids that her mom is involved with Turtle Days.”

Orchard Ridge caddie wins Chick Evans scholarship Heritage High School senior Henry Henderson has been awarded a Chick Evans Scholarship.

The Western Golf Association selected four Indiana golf caddies for this year’s award.

Henderson caddies at Orchard Ridge Country Club.

The full college tuition and housing scholarships is valued at $17,500 annually, and is renewable for up to four years.

The WAGA is bringing the Hotel Fitness Championship to Fort Wayne, Aug. 25-31, at Sycamore Hills Golf Club.

Scholarship candidates interviewed at Fort Wayne Country Club. Selection was based on four criteria: a strong caddie record, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need, and outstanding character.

“Their academic excellence and involvement in a cross-section of civic organizations reflects the selfless

nature of what it means to be an Evans Scholar,” said John Kaczkowski, president and CEO of the Western Golf Association.

The WGA has administered the Chick Evans Scholarship Program through the Evans Scholars Foundation since its founding by famed Chicago amateur golfer Charles “Chick” Evans, Jr. in 1930. Most of the Indiana recipients will attend Indiana University in Bloomington or Purdue University in West Lafayette, where they will live in the Evans Scholarship House.

Currently, 840 caddies are enrolled in colleges across the nation as Evans Scholars, including 60 at Indiana and 40 at Purdue. More than 9,800 caddies have graduated as Evans Scholars, including 573 from Indiana University and 423 from Purdue.

Scholarship funds come primarily from contributions

by WGA Evans Scholars Par Club members.

“We actually have enough material we could do two concerts in a row and not repeat ourselves,” he said.

Judging by their schedule and return engagements, the Junk Yard Band succeeds in striking that balance.

Bass player Mike Hockaday and Pequignot co-founded the band. They share the stage with: Rick Brown, on saxophone and keyboards; Don Miles, drummer; and Greg Reszel, lead guitar.

The five stay busy on stage in Fort Wayne and beyond all summer. They play the Foellinger Theater, which this summer boasts such acts as REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Styx and Willie Nelson. The Junk Yard Band takes the Sherman Boulevard stage at 8 p.m. Friday, Aug.

“We’re playing all over the place,” Pequignot said. Stops include a free concert from 7-10 p.m. Friday, June 21, at Commons Park in Angola.

There’s Old Settlers Days June 24-28 in Columbia City, Cromwell Days in Cromwell, the Summer’s End Festival in Geneva, and the Marshmallow Festival in Ligonier.

“We play the Ducktail Run in Gas City, and that is a huge hot-rod custom car show during the James Dean festival weekend,” he said, “and the Ducktail Run is celebrating their 20th anniversary and we were the first band to play back when they had their first event.” The band performs a free concert from 8-10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26.

This mark’s the band’s third appearance at Georgetown Square.

“Junk Yard Band is back by popular demand again this summer,” plaza marketing coordinator Maureen Partee said in an email. “They do a great job of covering hits from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. Last year 2,000 people came out to hear them. They really get the crowd involved dancing and singing along.”

The Blackhawk Middle School Theater Department, under the guidance of Chris Murphy, will entertain at intermission.

“Blackhawk is one of many neighboring schools that make Georgetown a nice, family-friendly community to live, work and shop,” Partee wrote.

Jeff Sebieka, owner of

the Georgetown Subway and another coordinator of the concerts, said the troupe will present music from their spring and summer musicals, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and “Seussical the Musical.”

Sebieka said the concert organizers also welcome the Fort Wayne Corvette Club, which will hold a cruise-in during the concert each month.

“We’re excited how much the Georgetown area has responded to these events,” Sebieka said. “They’re just hugely popular.”

Each concert evening includes Kids Day, featuring free activities for children.

Children’s events include activities such as face painting, games, spinthe-wheel for prizes, and miniature golf. Activities vary with each concert evening.

“It’s something to engage the kids while the parents are listening to the music,” Sebieka said.

Georgetown Square.

Kids activities organizer Cindy Bodnar said free activities in June will include fingernail painting, temporary tattoos, and miniature golf courtesy of Putt-Putt Fun Center.

Georgetown Bowl will provide a game. A charge probably will apply for face-painting and the spinto-win for prizes donated by merchants. In all, the June date will feature 10 kids’ activities, for 1-yearolds on up to 12- and 13-year-olds.

Bodnar said because the kids’ area is just to the right of the band, parents will be able to stay with their children and still enjoy the music.

The July 25 event will close with an outdoor movie, she said. Aug. 22 is a back-to-school night.
