From the executive editor
Summer! It’s here. When I was a kid, summer seemed endless. As I’ve aged, I recognize just how fleeting these warm, fun-filled days are. This summer, I have pieced together childcare for my oldest daughter who aged out of our trusted daycare. I am sharing an inhome nanny with two other families 4 days a week. It’s a win for the kids who get to spend all summer together; a win for the sitter who benefits from an hourly rate that is fair since 3 families are contributing to it; and a win for the moms because we can remain productive and know our kids are safe. All that being said, I have every Friday with Annabelle for the summer. We haven’t had this much one-on-one time since her sister was born 3 years ago. At first, my mind reverted back to a childlike mindset, and I thought: “Wow! All summer? That’s so much time. There are so many possibilities.” In reality, it’s only 9 weeks. 9 Fridays. So, we’ve developed a summer bucket list to make sure we can capitalize on our time together. Activities include visiting the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo, Build a Bear, Hopscotch House, Promenade Park’s water feature and playground, Taylor’s Boundless Playground and Splash Pad, and LC Nature Park, and making a trip to Roy G. Biv Creative Space in Columbia City, to name a few. My parents will visit us early this month, and a day trip the Indianapolis Children’s Museum is on the agenda. Do you need help creating your summer bucket list? Check out our Motherhood feature on page 22. We lay out some must-dos to make the most of the fleeting days of the season. This issue is jam packed with content to help you celebrate the season. We hope you enjoy it. As always, if you have a story idea, please email me. I love hearing from our readers.

When did you start making art?
a the Title of piece:
Cover
Arise and Shine!
Where did you draw inspiration from for this piece? I’m an expressionist painter. Paint and its characteristics are more important to me than the subject matter they may represent. I sometimes use recognizable motifs, such as flowers, that have sentimental value to me, but painting mirrored likenesses doesn’t interest me. Instead, my focus is on producing works of art through the careful placement of colors, shapes, lines, patterns, and even the brushstrokes themselves. When these elements flow together to make visible an image that’s never been seen before, I become fully alive!
My earliest recollection of making art was throughout my elementary school years. My parents had an old upright piano, and the piano bench was my studio. I stored art supplies in that bench: pipe cleaners, glue, scraps of paper, pencils, watercolor paints, etc. and made my creations on the surface of it. Then, in high school, I painted a covered wagon scene on the side of their farm shed, which launched a regional wall mural painting business as soon as I got my driver’s license. Eventually, I studied painting in college under the late Professor Emeritus of Painting Al Pounders.
What advice do you have for artists just starting out? If you are attracted to the visual arts, that passion and desire is a part of who you are. Take it seriously; it’s your voice of expression. It’s easy to allow other things to crowd out the time and space it takes to make art. Never give up despite the roadblocks and obstacles that life may throw at you.

Bill Blass Blast
- 100 DAYS OF BILL BLASS By Jennie Renner You may know the name Bill Blass, but did you know that this fashion icon was born and raised in Fort Wayne? And did you know that he was one of 1,100 people who served in the “Ghost Army” during World War II, deceiving the Germans with inflatable tanks, fake radio transmissions, and temporary campsites?
A group of local women, led by Fort Wayne native Kathy Carrier, is on a mission to make sure everyone knows all of this and more about Bill Blass. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Carrier’s friend Irene Walters gave her the book “Bill Blass: An American Designer,” published in 2002 to accompany a retrospective exhibition at the Indiana University Art Museum. As an artist and entrepreneur herself, Carrier immediately appreciated Blass’s artistic side and his business acumen. “I just fell in love with Bill Blass. And once I realized he was from Fort Wayne, I started asking around and this generation doesn’t really know him — especially the kids,” said Carrier. “I just felt like we needed to be proud of him. We needed to understand the impact he had on the fashion industry, which is remarkable. And we needed to learn about his World War II heroism.” Starting out with the mission to make Bill Blass more well-known in Fort Wayne, Carrier’s idea took on a life of its own. “You never know when you launch something, what’s going to happen,” she said. “I think the most remarkable thing is what’s happened at South Side High School, which is where Bill Blass graduated from in 1940.” Students at the school participated in a multi-faceted project as they learned about the life and legacy of Blass. In early May, art students chalked shoes that they designed on the sidewalks from the front of the school to Bill Blass’s boyhood home across the street on South Calhoun. Other students participated in a 100-mile walking challenge to honor Blass’s 100th birthday. Bill Blass was born on June 22, 1922, in Fort Wayne. He grew up during the Great Depression and was raised by a single mom after his father died by suicide in the house where they lived. Blass was very close to his mother, who was a dressmaker. He started sketching dresses at the age of 15 and sold designs to a New York manufacturer for $25 while he was still in high school.

In 1942, Blass joined the army during World War II. He became a member of the 603rd Engineer Camouflage, which later became known as the Ghost Army. While in a bunker in Luxembourg during the war, Blass sketched the first version of his logo. After the war, Blass interned under a lot of different designers, had jobs, and got fired from some of those jobs because they said he wasn’t good enough. “It took him decades to bring his passion for fashion to a successful business,” said Carrier. “His story is really one of someone who never gave up. His midwestern roots served him well.” But Blass didn’t make any money on couture fashion dressing people like Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Regan, and Liza Minnelli. Instead, he found a way to make a living by licensing his brand to 87 different products, including cars, sheets, chocolates, eyeglasses, and sunglasses. He was the first designer to do this and the first American designer to launch a menswear line. He wrote one book, his autobiography called Bare Blass, which he finished just before he died of lung cancer in 2002 at the age of 79. “The beauty of being able to draw or paint from an early age is that you never feel trapped, least of all by your immediate circumstances,” wrote Blass. “Our goal, really, is just to shine a light on this amazing man,” said Carrier. “I think there’s a lot to be proud of about Fort Wayne — and certainly Bill Blass is one of those things.”

Chynna Presley was born in Indiana, spent the first five years of her life in Denver, and then moved to New Philadelphia, Ohio, where she grew up. When her family moved there, Presley said they were one of very few families of color.
ASCCare.com
As Presley was finishing high school and starting to think about where she would attend college, she knew she wanted to move away from her hometown. She said she never really felt like it was home and didn’t want to leave to go to school only to come back again. “In my young mind, I thought the only way to avoid that was to go out of state,” she said. Presley wanted to go to a Christian college and made an agreement with her parents that going out of state meant Indiana, since she had family there. In her sophomore and junior years of high school, she visited many colleges that met her criteria, but hadn’t settled on any of them. Then she and her parents visited Huntington College, now Huntington University. From the moment she walked onto the campus, she felt like she had found the right college, but didn’t want to say it out loud at first. “And then my dad said, ‘I think this is it.’ And my mom said, ‘that’s what I was feeling too.’” And Presley agreed, even though she hadn’t even gone through the campus visit yet. “I just knew that that was where I was supposed to be.” Presley earned her Bachelor of Social Work degree in 2007 from Huntington and later went on to get a master’s degree in organizational leadership. She joined Huntington University’s faculty in the fall of 2020 to do work in the diversity, equity, and inclusion realm. “The draw for me is that Huntington is my alma mater and I wanted to serve as the representation that I never had.”

In her job as director of intercultural enrichment at the university, Presley found it ironic to have an office with a window that overlooked the very spot where she and her parents stood and felt that this was the college she should attend. But Pressley also found it funny that she thought it was going to be for just four years. “The Lord had a bigger plan in place,” said Pressley. “He brought me back 13 years after I graduated, for me to look at that very spot — to be reminded that He’s been in control this entire time.”

And now, as Presley is leaving her post at the university, she is excited to see what God has in store for her next. Ultimately, she would like to expand the consulting business that she started in October, but she’s not sure if she’s ready to do that full time. “Normally I would have already set up my plan C, D, and E, but I’m trying not to do that just yet… I’m trying to be diligent in allowing the Lord to direct my steps.” a

Serving as Legal Counsel for Parkview Health, Andrew Palmison is providing the necessary support behind the scenes that keeps departments, such as Virtual Health, the Innovation Center, digital strategy initiatives, and behavioral health service lines operating at the highest level to further their mission of providing quality care to patients and clients alike. His work in healthcare doesn’t stop there as he also serves on the Ronald McDonald House of Northeast Indiana Board as the Secretary and Chair of the Governance Committee. His involvement with RMDH is quite personal and began with the birth of his daughter. “When you are the parent of an infant or a child and there is a sudden need for inpatient care, it is really overwhelming. I know because it happened to my family,” Palmison said. “My daughter was born in 2014 with a surprise bilateral cleft lip and palate, which necessitated NICU support for feeding. Our first reaction when we were told about the House was ‘We don’t need this. Please save a room for someone else. Someone who needs it more.’ But they insisted. So my wife stayed at the House for what would be three weeks, and we spent the days together supporting our daughter in the NICU. The House was a haven – a place to recharge physically and emotionally during those three weeks.” Palmison was not familiar with RMDH or what resources it provided to families when his daughter was admitted, but what they offered his family, the comfort and care, left him with a desire to give back. “I have been privileged to serve on the board since 2015. The House has grown significantly in that time from physical expansion to adding programming, staff, and expanding its reach,” he said. “The Kindness Kitchen is the beneficiary of tremendous community support with groups coming in to make meals for families.” Having a deep passion and commitment to care encompasses all aspects of Palmison’s work. He is able to provide support to the strategy and innovation that allows the healthcare system to evolve to meet the ever-changing needs. “The work that I do at Parkview allows me to be a part of multi-disciplinary teams of talented individuals advancing common goals toward a shared mission. It is quite fulfilling to be a part of a project from inception to fruition and be able to see the direct impact that it has on improving individual and community health,” he explained. It’s no surprise that his dedication to care and compassion extends over to his personal life where he spends his free time with his wife Meredith and their two children Eleanor (7) and Evan (4). Born in the Cleveland area, Palmison loves being physically active and sharing his childhood experiences with his own children. “We travel frequently to visit family or go to Cedar Point – a tradition for me growing up that is now getting passed along to my kids,” he said. “For now, I am the only roller coaster enthusiast in my family, but I’m hoping to change that!” a

MAGGIE MARTIN Age: 16 By Stacie Ball | Photo by Tim Brumbeloe
Nothing gets Northrop High School student Maggie Martin fired up quite like art, especially pottery. She has been consistently building her knowledge and gaining the tools to make her artistic dreams a reality. Her love of art and ideas for stress reduction and life balance make the young entrepreneur an inspiration to young people everywhere. Maggie began painting when she was little and hasn’t stopped. At the age of ten, she began putting together a collection of her favorite pieces and entering art shows at Firefly Coffeehouse and her former elementary school. She even won the Mayor’s Choice award and got to meet the Mayor! While taking a high school ceramics class with Mrs. Platt, Maggie unearthed her love of pottery. “I enjoyed it so much that I started taking pottery at TekVenture,” she explained. “TekVenture is a warehouse where artists can take classes and do many things like woodworking, melting metal, pottery, and painting.” She visited the warehouse every day after school and learned different pottery techniques from her cousin, Noah Dahlman. Dahlman discovered the haven for artists years ago and introduced it to Maggie. They say if you find something you love, you’ll never work another day in your life. Maggie realized this was true as she worked tirelessly to hone her pottery skills. “The more you have on your plate, the more it stresses you out, and the less you want to create art,” she said. “I found doing one painting a week was the best way to continue to love painting.” She also found that pottery helped her release all the stress and anxiety from school and home, creating a healthy work/life balance. “Once I figured out how to love art and do it for fun, that was all I wanted to do,” Maggie beamed. Determined to improve her artistic skills, she worked hard to learn more techniques in painting and pottery. She emphasized that she had to stay calm and enjoy the process instead of thinking of it as homework. Her hard work paid off because she was recently honored as a Junior Achievement Young Entrepreneur in December of 2021! Maggie has decided to share her art with the world on a larger scale. Art by Magdalen is the Instagram account where she displays her pieces for others to see and possibly purchase. She chose the name because it is her actual given name. “I go by Maggie, but I like when people call me Magdalen,” she said.

When she is not painting or throwing, you can find her at home with one of her four dogs, playing softball, spending time with friends, listening to music, or cleaning the house. She said, “It’s calming, and it makes me happy to keep the house clean and nice.” Because she loves to organize and make things look pretty and fresh, she hopes to create her own Interior Design business in the future.

Outdoor Dining Optionsn o i t i d E e n y a W t Downtown For By Amber Bouthot
Ten years ago, you’d be hard pressed to find more than a handful of outdoor dining options in our region. Perhaps one silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic is the emergence of all the creative and vibrant outdoor dining options available now. From the Bison Deck at Nawa to the riverfront seating at The Deck, there is no shortage of beautiful spaces from which to choose. Here are some of our favorites.
Mercado, 111 W. Columbia St., mercadofw.com One of Fort Wayne’s newest outdoor dining hot spots is located on The Landing. Mercado boasts a small patio area with a magnificent view of Ouizi’s mural, the Big Peony. What started as a food truck is now our region’s brick and mortar destination for Cali-Mexican cuisine. Menu items are described as Chicano inspired and there you’ll find elote oysters, pachola burgers, and agave spirits.
The Sidecar, 301 W. Jefferson, copperspoonfw.com/sidecar The Sidecar is Copper Spoon’s tropical themed outdoor bar, offering unique drinks and fabulous downtown views. It’s located adjacent to the front entrance of Parkview Field and is housed inside a repurposed shipping container.
Proximo, 898 S. Harrison St., proximofw.com Proximo’s gorgeous wrap around outdoor patio offers unique views of JUURI’s Lion’s Dance mural, especially if you are lucky enough to visit during dusk when the light dances off the gold-flecked paint. Proximo is a scratch kitchen and describes itself as Latin fusion—taking unique spices and flavor combinations from Latin countries and combining them to make out-of-this-world dishes.
Nawa, 126 W. Columbia Street, nawa.live
Tolon, 614 S. Harrison, tolonrestaurant.com
The Deck, 305 E. Superior St., donhalls.com
Located in the newly reborn The Landing district, Nawa serves up some of the most delicious Asian inspired dishes in the region. Featuring a diversity of small and large plate dining, Nawa emphasizes freshness, distinctiveness, and excellence. And its Bison Deck, named for its stunning view of Tim Parsley’s gargantuan mural, is a favorite outdoor dining spot. 16 | JULY GLO 2022 |
Just across the street from Nawa, Fort Wayne’s first farm to fork restaurant spreads its wings onto the sidewalk to offer an urban setting for area diners. With plenty of shade provided and a bustling nightlife emanating from the nearby Landing, dining outdoors at Tolon is a truly upscale experience.
One of the first establishments to embrace the potential of our rivers, The Deck is home to some of the tastiest (and strongest) cocktails and a vibe that will have you wishing it were summer all year long. Whether you are grabbing a table along the river or bellying up to the tiki-inspired bar, you’re sure to enjoy your time spend dining outdoors here. a

Watching the glow of lightning bugs fade into the clear, starry sky around a campfire is the quintessential image of summer fun for many Hoosiers. We are fortunate to have many options to seek shelter from our sheltered lives, engaging nature at its finest while camping. Whether camping, to you, means piling into an RV, pitching a tent at a primitive site, or hiking with nothing but the basics on your back, Hoosierland is a land of opportunity. This list of ten may help you plan a picture-perfect camping trip.

Indiana’s
10. Indiana Dunes With a political history that may be as complex as the biological diversity of the area, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore became Indiana Dunes National Park in 2019. This treasure on Lake Michigan has been protecting the delicate ecosystem in its borders since 1926. 1600 N. 25 E., Chesterton, IN 46304 (219) 926-1952 www.indianadunes.com
6. Johnny Appleseed Park 8. Ouabache State Park There may not be antelope, but your “dear” children can play “where the buffalo roam” at Ouabache State Park. Enclosed bison, like those the pioneers may have seen, are one of the highlights of this park. 4930 E. SR 201, Bluffton, IN 46714 (260) 824-0926 https://indianastateparks.reserveamerica.com
This touch of nature in the City of Fort Wayne is close to metropolitan offerings and caters to the needs of travelers from May 1 through September 6. It is closed as a camping facility September 11-21 while the area plays host to the Johnny Appleseed Festival. 1500 Harry Baals Dr. Fort Wayne, IN 46805 260-427-6720 www.fortwayneparks.org/facilities/johnny-appleseed-campground.html
9. KOA Whether a regular camper or putting your toe in to test the waters on the activity, KOA has opportunities available. Different KOAs offer different amenities, and the one closest to Fort Wayne calls itself a “weekend retreat campground.” It, for example, has planned social activities, playgrounds, a volleyball court, a spot to throw horseshoes, a heated pool, and trails to walk, among other things.
5. Prophetstown State Park
Bluffton/Fort Wayne South KOA Journey 1625 West Lancaster St., Bluffton, IN 46714
The nine connected lakes of this protected area are host to a campground and family cabins. Rowboats, paddleboats, canoes, and kayaks can be rented, and electric-only motors are allowed on the water. For land lovers, 23 miles of hiking trails await.
Prophetstown is named in honor of “The Prophet” Tenskwatawa. Modern camping facilities are tucked among the natural beauty of prairie plants, trees, and the Harrison Creek’s bank. A Native American reproduction village tastefully tells the story of the Shawnee residents alongside an operational, vintage farm operated by an independent nonprofit.

After a long day of choosing between a hike, on or off trail; riding the mountain bike or horse trails; enjoying the beach; or fishing, you will be ready for a place to rest! Many camping options are available at Hoosier National Forest, near Bloomington. Whether you select to rent a cabin, take your tent, or let your RV play host for the night, there’s something for everyone. It also offers dispersed camping, or that done outside the bounds of a site; one need not check in with the Forest Service for this type of experience, but rules do apply. Check out the Forest Service camping site for more information. 811 Constitution Ave., Bedford, IN 47421 www.fs.usda.gov/activity/hoosier/recreation/camping-cabins

1. Backyard If you are new to camping, concerned about the price of gas or travel, or simply do not want to worry about what to do if it rains, your own backyard or living area can be a lot of fun! Run through the sprinkler, and have an ice cream cone from your own freezer. Summer is young; a stay in the backyard can be big fun, big savings, and a precursor for big camping trips of the future. a
3. Brown County State Park No matter your level of comfort with the great outdoors, about 17,000 acres of opportunity is waiting for you at Indiana’s largest state park. Hiking through rolling hills and ravines or scaling the fire tower for a bird’seye view, among other opportunities, can leave one ready for a night’s rest. Should you select to camp to meet those needs, options abound.

2. Turkey Run State Park Laddered ascents and descents among rock faces supporting lush growth, splashing around in the calmly flowing water, and finding wildflowers that dot the landscape with delicate color can leave you happy but ready to find somewhere to unroll your sleeping bag for the night. The landscape that reminds some of Jurassic Park, right here in our modern era, can be enjoyed at Indiana’s Turkey Run State Park.

On Her Nightstand
By Wendy Stein
FEATURE | On Her Nightstand
What are you currently reading? I just started “We Are the Brennans” by Tracey Lange, a family drama set in suburban New York. As an only child, I think I enjoy stories like this because they give me a glimpse into the dynamics of larger families. I also recently finished “Dollface” by Renée Rosen, set in Chicago during Prohibition, and “The Last Bookshop in London” by Madeline Martin and set in London during World War II.
Who would you say is your favorite author? I don’t really have a favorite author so much as a favorite genre. I love historical fiction, particularly anything set in the 40s and/or during World War II. I also enjoy memoirs and biographies. I like to alternate these with female focused fiction and the occasional mystery or thriller. About the only types of books I don’t care for are science fiction and fantasy.
Is there a book you like to read over and over, or are you one and done? Sharon Knuth is a Fort Wayne native and currently lives in the Oakdale neighborhood with her husband Kevin and their two rescue dogs, Tucker and Hadley. Between the two of them they have four sons and eight grandchildren. In addition to spending time with the grandkids, Sharon enjoys old houses, local theatre, summers at Crooked Lake and, of course, a good book.
One of my annual traditions is to pull out my Christmas books and re-read three or four of them over the holidays. They’re light reading, fun and familiar, and just help to put me in the holiday mood. A favorite is “A Redbird Christmas” by Fannie Flagg, which includes a recipe for a corn casserole that I’ve used for several holiday dinners over the years! (see below)
Do you prefer tangible books or an e-reader? After resisting for a long time, I borrowed a Kindle to see what all the hype was about. After a slight learning curve, I have to admit I was hooked. While I love the look and feel of “real” books and still have several shelves of books, I love the convenience and ease of my Kindle. With the app on my phone, I always have a book with me wherever I go, and an unexpected bonus is that it even saves my place when I fall asleep reading at night! a

Summer Bucket List
for Kids By Mary Jane Bogle
Summer is quite possibly every kid’s favorite season — and for good reason. School’s out, the sun sets later, and long days stretch before us with seemingly endless possibilities. Unfortunately, summer does have one drawback. It doesn’t last forever. Without a plan in place, you just might miss some of the best memories of the year.
That’s where a Kids’ Bucket List comes in handy. With a little bit of planning, you can squeeze a ton of happy memories into the summer season, heading into fall with no regrets. Need some help brainstorming ideas? Here are a few summer “must do’s” to get you started:
3. Visit the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo. It’s one of the nation’s top 10 children’s zoos and worth every moment of your day’s excursion. Better yet, avoid the temptation to take it all in with one visit and buy a season pass. (A family pass makes a great gift from grandparents and lets you visit one section at a time, ending each visit on a high note.)
1. Chase Fireflies. Nothing captures the magic of summer quite like a Mason jar full of fireflies. Just be sure to release them before heading into bed!
4. Go on a Family Bike Ride. With trails that run from one end of the city to another, you can map out a route everyone can enjoy.
2. Jump in a Lake. Kids, lakes, and summer just naturally go together — providing, of course, that everyone’s swim skills are up to the task, or that you have enough lifejackets to go around. In either case, adult supervision is always a good idea.
5. Plan a Picnic.

Fort Wayne offers a wide variety of parks — the perfect destination for an afternoon picnic. Just choose one with a playground so kids can work up an appetite before they dig in. | JULY GLO 2022 |
6. Visit a Splash Pad. There’s a reason Fort Wayne is listed as a “Playful City USA.” And with over ten splash pads located throughout the city, you’re sure to find one the whole family will love.

7. Take in a Ballgame. No summer is complete without a trip to Parkview Field to cheer on the Tin Caps. Go ahead and buy the hot dogs, popcorn, and cotton candy while you’re there.
8. Drive to the Dunes. Think beaches stretch only along the ocean? Think again. With Warren Dunes (Mich.) or Indiana Dunes just a short drive from Fort Wayne, you can splash in the waves or make sandcastles to your heart’s content.

Digital Banking By Lauren Caggiano
Digital banking is essential today to proactively manage your finances. And if you ask Jen Timbrook, a systems analyst with STAR Financial, it’s also convenient.
“You get real-time access to your accounts,” she said. “You can manage your money and move (it) any time during the day.” And banking apps allow you to do this all with the simple click of a button — avoiding the need to even set foot in your banking institution’s lobby. That’s a win, especially in the age of COVID, and it helps people save time when that’s at a premium. Timbrook said there’s also the benefit of getting a holistic look at your finances. Digital banking allows you to see where your money goes — and adjust course if necessary. That all ties into achieving or aspiring to financial literacy and wellness. These apps put you in the driver’s seat and that’s a great feeling when there’s so much uncertainty in daily life. “With mobile banking, you can access your credit score, find out ways to improve it, and learn what’s hurting it,” she said.
24
| JULY GLO 2022 |
Digital banking also allows you to set and hit financial goals. For instance, you can set up an automatic transfer to go into a vacation savings account or for another purpose. At the same time, you can help prevent something from going awry or at least minimize the potential harm through monitoring on the front end. “Let’s say you want to set a notification for any time your checking account goes below $100 or $250, whatever that threshold is for you,” she said. “You might have a reoccurring bill that comes out the next day. Maybe you need to move some money over so that you don’t overdraft. You can set up alerts to prevent that.” This feature can also help you identify potential fraud. You might set up a notification that alerts you when a transaction hits your account that’s over a set amount. The same goes for in the event someone tries to access your bank account. You can breathe a little easier knowing that you’ll be notified if someone attempts to drain your account.
Today’s mobile solutions have security baked in through such features as biometric access and two-factor authentication. However, at the same time, Timbrook reminds readers that it’s important to exercise common sense and embrace best practices for security hygiene. For instance, it’s best not to reuse passwords across applications and websites. Another thing to keep in mind is that digital solutions aren’t the end-all, be-all. Some more intricate activities are best conducted in person and can’t be achieved through an app. In that case, you can always go into your branch and talk to a live person. Ultimately, apps are about convenience, but they aren’t a replacement for human interaction. All of this to say: Doing business with a local bank means you have the advantage of doing business digitally as well as in person. It’s all about having options and that’s a good thing when your finances are concerned. a

NORTHEAST INDIANA IS THE PLACE FOR WATER RECREATION THIS SUMMER By Julie Young
Whether you are a novice who is just earning her water wings or someone who has her sea legs and is looking for a bigger challenge, Northeast Indiana offers water recreational opportunities for everyone. From lakes to rivers and reservoirs, guided tours, special events or DIY access points for folks with their own itinerary, the region is awash in summer fun for anyone willing to get a little wet!
The Fort Wayne Rivers Northeast Indiana Water Trails With over 566 miles of flowing water across 10 counties; 25 villages, towns, and cities; 34 public parks and nature preserves on 14 waterways, the Northeast Indiana Water Trails is your first stop for summer fun on the water. The trails offer eight liveries where equipment can be rented and purchased and a list of public access sites for those who have their own gear. The site also has a running calendar of special events, including the 7th Annual 3Rivers Federal Credit Union Pedal, Paddle, Play July 16, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.neiwatertrails.com
Fort Wayne was built at the confluence of the St. Joseph, Maumee and St. Mary’s rivers, which can be accessed by boat, Kayak, canoe, and wading. These rivers are popular places to catch walleye and small-mouthed bass, black and white crappie, catfish, bluegill, and more. More proficient anglers may seek out the Northern Pike or Muskie, which can grow over 40 inches in length (and can put up quite a fight.) The rivers are also the perfect spot to put a paddle in the water and travel along any number of routes. Best bets for beginners: Johnny’s Rope Swing Adventure, Shoaff Park Paddle, and Leo-Cedarville Paddle. For those with more experience, we recommend: Shoaff’s Mighty Portage, and Curly’s Suspension Bridge. For more information, visit www.visitfortwayne.com
Fox Island County Park Looking to do a little swimming this summer? Bowman lake at Fox County Park is a swimming beach where families can spend the day splashing around. (No lifeguard on duty so swim at your own risk.) There is also a doggie beach where you can swim with your pet! For more information, visit www.allencountyparks.org

DesigningYour Dream Deck By Cathy Shouse
There’s nothing quite like a pleasant evening spent on your own deck. Whether a large fancy one or a more modest-sized simply styled one, enjoying a slice of property that is set aside for a deck can take you to another place altogether. When done well, it’s an extension of your home and offers multiple entertainment possibilities, from grilling out for the kids’ softball team to having adult beverages under strings of sparkling lights. If your deck dreams have not yet come true, keep reading. We talked to an expert about the latest in decks. Kevin Hunter, president of Windows, Doors & More, has been in the business for decades. Hunter said a solid, well-thought-out plan is especially needed for decks right now. The first order of business might not be what most people think. You need to consider any requirements you need to adhere to, since putting on a deck is a form of construction. The location of your home is one unexpected consideration. It’s possible a home owners association will have guidelines to follow. Hunter pointed out that a local authority should also be consulted. “Check with the planning department for setback rules to know what the maximum size that can be built is,” he said. Once you know any restrictions that might apply, setting a budget is the next step. The most obvi32
| JULY GLO 2022 |
ous cost is the materials, but labor costs are a close second. Plus, you may want to factor in decorative elements, such as special lighting, furniture, a pizza oven, and the list goes on. He suggested looking through deck catalogs and Pinterest for inspiration. Part of the excitement is envisioning when the deck will be ready for use, and sooner is always better. But, in these times, a dose of practical advice may be needed. “Patience is required for material and labor shortages,” Hunter said. “Decks are just like pools! Plan ahead to get yours. We’re scheduling decks for the summer of 2023.” The most critical decision and the one that impacts the budget most: the materials. Materials matter for durability and also for whatever maintenance might be involved. Once the luster of a new deck has worn off over time, you’ll want to be sure it remains attractive.
The increased cost of lumber has actually made other materials look more affordable. “Composite deck boards were three to four times more than wood until the last two years,” he said. “Now it’s just two times the price. It makes composite look like a better deal but honestly decks are so expensive now it’s like purchasing a new vehicle. Most uneducated homeowners will find themselves with major sticker shock if they have not done their homework.” If getting a deck remains on your radar, how badly you want one will determine if you take on the expense and potential aggravation. These times have taught us some things, though. The potential for memories made with little leaguers munching on hot dogs outside of your door, and late-night chats with neighbors around your fire pit may be priceless. Working with an expert will, hopefully, move you closer to a beautiful deck that will bring you hours of joy and satisfaction for years to come. a

HOME LIVING | How To
HOST THE PERFECT PARTY
By Holli Hattery
With summer finally in full swing, families and friends are looking forward to getting together for possibly the first summer in two years, and 4th of July is a great time to plan a festive BBQ bash in your backyard. Need ideas? We have some to help take your party to the next level and create fun for all ages. Decorations and Ambiance Now is the time to stock up on the red, white, and blue to create a patriotic theme in your yard. Not digging the traditional stars and stripes? You can also opt for bright colors and go with a more Hawaiian or Caribbean theme. If your entertainment space is looking a little dull, hang twinkle lights or round bulb lights outside to create a fun, lighted ambiance around your patio or entertainment space. You can also add an outdoor rug to your patio to add some style and flair. Make sure that you have enough seating for all your guests. Spruce up outdoor furniture with cute new pillows or cushions. You can also bring in potted plants to place around your entertainment space as an easy way to add some color. If you’re planning on partying all day, make sure you have some sort of shade available, whether a pergola, canopy, or simply a giant umbrella, especially for those more sensitive to the heat and sun. And don’t forget the sunscreen!
Games and Entertainment Looking to add some fun to your BBQ? Set up lawn versions of Connect Four, Jenga, Lawn Bowling, and Tic Tac Toe. Don’t forget classic backyard games such as Cornhole and Horseshoes as well. If it gets hot, having a water balloon fight is always a fun way to cool off. Want to make your own sprinkler? Poke holes in a plastic bottle and put it over your hose for hours of entertainment for the kids and adults.

| JULY GLO 2022 |
Get Rid of Those Bugs Afraid bugs are going to ruin the fun? Fear not! Citronella Tiki Torches and candles are great options to surround your party place. They are fun and beautiful when the sun goes down. Lavender plants are also a great mosquito deterrent, and it can add a lovely scent to your BBQ. If you’re looking for mosquito repellent spray, look for ones that have 15-30% Deet, as those are the most effective.
Firework Safety Summer means fireworks, and while they are fun, they can also be dangerous. Make sure that fireworks are kept away from children and only lit outdoors. Never throw fireworks at anyone. Make sure you maintain a safe distance from the firework after it’s been lit. Keep water nearby to put out any fires that may be started and make sure to douse used fireworks before putting them in the trash. Summer is a time of fun and gathering with your loved ones. With these tips and tricks, you can turn your backyard into a summer entertainment destination. a

Susan’s Fashions By Lauren Caggiano
Susan’s Fashions has been a fixture in the local boutique community for nearly three decades and has touched the lives of many women in the process. The store, located in Covington Plaza in southwest Fort Wayne, has been in operation for 27 years. The founder, Sue Johnson first entered the fashion industry by working at a locallyowned chain called Nobbson and eventually became a manager at one of the locations. Although trained as a teacher, she decided to make a go of it in the fashion industry instead. Later, an opportunity presented itself and she was approached by Barbara Gilbert (now of Barbara’s New Beginnings) to purchase the store called Petite Plaza. She agreed and what followed was a flurry of activity that led her to selfemployment and her current role. “We got into the store and had a decorator and designer come in and we were open in six weeks,” she said. “That’s a short time compared to what it takes people nowadays. But we did it and we’ve been here in the same spot for 27 years.” Since then, she’s offered fashion-forward clothing, accessories, and shoes to women, mostly in the 50-plus age group. According to Johnson, her product mix is unique to Fort Wayne and that’s what keeps shoppers coming back. “A lot of my companies are from Canada, Italy, and the U.S.,” she said. “I try to bring unique fashions to Fort Wayne. Thank goodness Fort Wayne has been very responsive and very loyal to me for the past 27 years. I so appreciate their loyalty.” Speaking of loyalty, Johnson employs three people currently, and she said they tend to stick around for a long time. They make an effort to know the customers and that translates into a friendly environment. 36

Other key ingredients to her success have been perseverance and knowing the local market. “To do this retail for as long as I’ve done it… you have to be a people-oriented person and enjoy the customers,” she said. “I love to see new things come in and how the customers love it. We love to put it together in a fun way for customers. We carry a lot of fun fashions but not too much.” In hindsight, Johnson said she believes she’s cracked the code when it comes to catering to her clientele.
Chicago, and occasionally Atlanta to buy product. “I love to stay up with the current fashion because fashion is continually changing,” she said. Going forward, Johnson said she plans to keep the store open as long as her health permits. It’s both a passion and a business. “I feel that my background at Nobbson really brought me so many customers and many are still with me,” she said. “They’re my longtime friends and I’ve been able to be successful because of them.” a
“I’d say probably about 90% are repeat customers,” she said. No doubt that’s the result of knowing her niche and being able to novelty. She goes to Dallas,

M e e t Stephanie Veit By Haiden Hibbert Despite not growing up in the Summit City, Fort Wayne is home to Stephanie Veit, Director of Airport Development at the Fort Wayne International Airport. The wife and mom of two moved from Milwaukee to Fort Wayne in 2002 and has seen the city go from bleak to booming in a matter of two decades. “Fort Wayne is absolutely home for us,” she said. “We embraced the city when we got here in 2002, and it embraced us right back. I got involved with a few organizations in the early 2000’s as we were starting our family, and it was the best decision I made. I met people and community leaders who have become friends and family.” Stephanie started working downtown when the Harrison Building opened at Parkview Field and remembers people asking her why she wanted to work downtown. At the time, there was little to see, and people were just warming up to the idea of a baseball field downtown. She felt she had a front row seat to watch it flourish into what it is today. Even as the area has developed, Stephanie and her family still enjoy some of the same traditions they always have, like traveling to see the lights during the holidays. “We started taking our boys to the Night of Lights when they were toddlers, and it has become a family tradition,” Stephanie said. “Even at now 18 and 13, my boys welcomed attending the Night of Lights again last year. It was a bittersweet night for me last year, knowing it might be the last year we attended as an entire family since my oldest is off to college in the fall.” One of Stephanie’s favorite things during her time in Fort Wayne has been watching Promenade Park being built and seeing residents embracing and loving the new area. And having lived in Milwaukee for a few years to witness how that city embraced its river with their Water Street district, she and her family are excited to watch our riverfront district expand. From the riverfront to the restaurants, coffee shops, ball games, and great music venues and concerts, Stephanie believes that Fort Wayne can be all things to all people. “When we moved here, it was weird for me to hear people apologizing about being from Fort Wayne,” Stephanie said. “I don’t think there was much pride in the city, and people were not saying great things about living in Fort Wayne. I believe that community pride in our residents is one of the biggest changes that has positively impacted our city. I think if you asked anyone, what do you love about Fort Wayne, they would give you an answer. They love something, it might be different for everyone, but at least they will give you an answer!” a 38
