Robert A. Hobby, director of music at Trinity English Lutheran Church, Fort Wayne, has been asked to compose two pieces of music for Pope Francis’ visit to the United States later this month.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Hobby said. “It would be exciting to write for any papal visit, but it’s even more exciting to write for Pope Francis, who brings great compas-sion to Christianity and challenges us all to show greater compassion.”

Hobby, 52, is composing these pieces for Francis’ visit:

• Scoring an accom-paniment for organ and orchestra for “Tu Es Petrus,” by French composer Charles Marie Widor, originally scored for choir and two organs; this piece will be a part of the prayer service at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York on Sept. 24.

• Composing an arrange-

ment for congregation, choir and orchestra for the hymn “Alleluia, Sing to Jesus” for the papal Mass at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 25. Hobby also will be part of the 200-voice choir.

The path to composing for the pope began earlier this year when Jennifer Pascual, director of music

at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, contacted Mark Lawson, president of MorningStar Music/ECS Publishing, St. Louis, seeking orchestral settings for the two pieces. When she learned there were no such arrangements, Lawson suggested a few sacred music composers,

Strike up the bands

The Snider Mighty Panther Marching Band will bring a “Brainstorm” to the field in 2015.

Kevin Klee created an original composition for his 28th year as Snider band director.

“It’s about the power

and passion of the teenage brain,” Klee said. “The music will repre-sent the brain clicking like a computer, with synapses firing.

“The color guard’s uniforms are black but they’re trimmed in shimmering metals and various colors, so it’s going to represent flashes

of light, almost like elec-trical energy.

“It’s a fast-paced show.”

Cadets to play ‘fast and furious’By Garth [email protected]

Veteran music arranger Kent Klee composed two original works and arranged the opening music for the Concordia Lutheran High School marching band’s 2016 show. The opener is Klee’s arrangement of “Turbo Scramjet” by William Pitts.

“It’s fast and furious music and just a lot of fun to play and exciting to listen to,” said Dianne Moellering, who again directs the Marching Cadets. This year’s program unites 72 musi-cians, drum majors and color guard. Brittany Satterthwaite again directs the 20-member guard. Mike Beights again has designed the on-field movements. Anna

Werling is the lead drum major. Gabriel Kramer is the junior drum major and also contributes on tuba.

“It’s a lot of notes in a short period of time,” Klee said. “Our woodwind section has always been

strong, and we’re trying to feature them as well as the brass.”

Klee worked with the same Pitts work last year, in the opener for

Randy C. Mitchell, a group publisher for Gate-House Media Inc., with three decades of newspaper management experience, has been named chief exec-utive officer of KPC Media Group.

The announcement came from KPC President Terry G. Housholder. Mitchell replaces Terry R. Ward, who has taken a group publisher’s position with Sound Publishing in Wash-ington state. Ward joined KPC in 2012.

“Randy is a solid newspaperman with wide experience and enthusiasm for our industry,” said Housholder. “He knows Indiana, having been a newspaper publisher in Wabash and Peru, and will

fit well into our communi-ties. He has the skills we need to continue to grow our operations and better serve our customers.”

Mitchell, 52, who currently lives in Newton, Kansas, will begin his duties at KPC on Sept. 21.

Art show to share parkwith food truck festival


At least 37 artists will display works in assorted media at Art at the River-side, Saturday, Sept. 26 at Riverside Gardens in Leo-Cedarville.

Festival founder and director Marsha Wulpi said the festival will be even bigger in this, its third year. “The first year was just an incredible success. The second year as well. All indications are this year will be also,” she said. “We haven’t used the gazebos in years past, but this year I think we’ve grown enough that we will use the gazebos.

“Riverside Gardens is on the banks of the St. Joe River. That’s a very beau-tiful setting.”

Fort Wayne Food Truck has signed on with least 11 vendors. That separate event is known as the Fort Wayne Food Truck Fall Festival. Wulpi, who is also Chamber of Commerce president, will provide the judges and awards for the food truck competition.

Wulpi founded Arts at the Riverside in her capacity as chamber presi-dent. Art show sponsorship since had passed to the Leo-Cedarville Foundation.

“We started it because we have so many artists concentrated into this area, some really good, nation-ally known artists,” she said.

Joe Justice is arranging the entertainment. “He lives in the Leo area, and he does a great job of setting up the sound and performing and lining up other people,” Wulpi said.

The Northeast School of

Dance will donate a perfor-mance for the third year.

Follow artattheriverside.com for updates on artists, food trucks and entertain-ment.

This is a juried art show. Organizers try to main-tain a balance among the various specialties, such as painting, pottery and jewelry.

Local artists scheduled include Kristy Jo Beber, Holly Heath, and Lisa Vetter & Paul Seifert.

Festival antiques director keeps history of treasuresBy Garth [email protected]

In her Eel River Town-ship home, Marilou Borne preserves items that would be pricey in antique stores but which are priceless to her.

The photos, furniture, iron pots and oil lamps from four generations fill the rooms and walls. Each has its place of honor, and each has its story. Marilou lists the owners of each item. Those include an iron pot and a coal oil-burning lamp that her great-great-grandparents brought to DeKalb County in the 1840s.

Borne is knowledgeable about that era. That’s part of her responsibility as the director of the antiques area at Fort Wayne’s Johnny Appleseed Festival, which will mark its 41st year Sept. 19 and 20. She has super-vised that area for 10 years.

“That little pot hanging there — that highest one — that probably dates to the 1700s or early 1800s,” she said. “I’ve had it dated by someone who knows, and they don’t feel that it was made later than that. The earlier pots are not as heavy. They’re not as thick.”

Beyond the inventory that she inherited, Borne said, she received her father’s love of antiques and his eagerness to treat people fairly. Ralph McCullough was a part-time auctioneer in Butler, and worked farm and antique auctions north into Michigan and east into Ohio. “He became very well liked by the antique dealers because he was fair and honest and wouldn’t sell them something that wasn’t what he said it was,” she said.

“We lived in a house that I was the fourth gener-ation born in,” she said. “And everybody who left

that house and moved to a different house left stuff upstairs, like spinning wheels and all sorts of things.”

A black-and-white photo of that house, circa 1901, hangs on a hallway wall. She said it shows a Butler-made windmill in the background, and her grandparents and great-grandparents and a hired hand in the yard.

She has both preserved and restored the family collection, by going to estate auctions and bidding for possessions that had moved through other branches of the family. “I’ve kind of become the repository for many fami-lies,” she said.

When Marilou and husband Bruce moved to their Allen County home, her mother — Helen — still lived at the Butler home.

“She decided it was time to break up — as they used to say — break up the belongings and share them with her three daughters because she didn’t have any place to put them,” she said. “And then shortly after that happened, within a year, my dad’s sister passed away and she was born in 1903, and so she had not only her own stuff but she had part of my grandpar-ents’ stuff.”

Marilou went to more auctions, and bought many of the items at what she called reasonable prices. “And the thing of it is, it’s much older stuff like from the 1800s and 1860s,” she said. “And the auctioneer sort of laughed and said ‘Somebody’s paying atten-tion.’ ”

Many of her items rest in or on a cupboard that had been refinished in her aunt’s workshop. “All the parts and pieces of it was in a lard can,” she said.

Another cupboard, made

of walnut, has drawers that were made from Dutch Cleanser boxes. “I know by these little doohickeys on here that my grandmother’s brother Gene made that,” she said.

A prominent wall space is occupied by the register of Company F, 129th Regiment, Indiana Volun-teers, dated 1864. The second in command was 1st Lt. Philander Smith, of Newville. She keeps a tintype photo of that ancestor, and a service pin, in another room.

Borne applies that same dedication to the integrity of the antiques area of the Johnny Appleseed Festival.

“We have antique vendors that are juried to make sure they don’t show up with items inappropriate to that era,” she said. “The only problem is the festival only goes up to 1840 and there aren’t a whole lot of things left from 1840. And also that may not neces-sarily be what the antique enthusiasts are looking for. An antique is anything that’s over a hundred years old, so each year that changes just a little bit.”

Most of the inventory dates at least to the early

1900s, she said. Four spaces are available in each of seven tents. Some of the vendors have been with the festival almost since its beginning, she said.

“We have everything from primitive items, jewelry, textiles, of course antique dishes and glass-ware, you know just a real gamut,” she said. “We have antique books, furniture. I try not to have too much repetition, but each of my dealers has something a little bit different, so that the people have a choice of what they would like to buy.

“I have one vendor from Kentucky, and the rest are more from the area, within 50 miles.

“I really enjoy it, and it takes someone who appre-ciates them who can have a good relationship with the vendors, and I seem to have that.

“They have to dress in period clothing. The display has to be period. So that means either covering their tables to the ground with some sort of tablecloth our just a length of cloth. And most of them do that anyway because they can scoot things under the

table.”Johnny Appleseed

Festival Executive Director Bridget Kelly said the the antiques area and the neighboring trappers and traders area are among the less explored areas of the festival. Many visitors to the information booth are surprised to learn of those booths, she said.

Kelly said the 41st festival will stay true to the early 1800s, when Johnny Appleseed worked his orchards in this corner of the American frontier. The September celebration again will feature vendors and craftspeople wearing clothing befitting the early decades of the 19th century. Community groups will cook over open fires, preparing soups, chicken and noodles, and other food that would have been familiar to John Chapman and his fellow pioneers. The children’s games that line the St. Joe River will be made of wood and rope. Musicians will dress in

period clothing, and play early favorites on period instruments. Craftspeople will manufacture and sell goods that would have been at home on an 1830s table or mantle. Military units will wear uniforms that had become obsolete before the American Civil War.

“A lot of the people like [the festival] the way is is, so we try to keep it the way that it was in the past,” she said.

Some new entertainment will join the festival this year. Details will be avail-able on the website soon.

“We have a couple new food booths coming in, but really apart from that it’s what people have come to know and love and expect,” she said.

As ukulele players from a dozen states studied music in corners of Folk-craft Instruments, Jeanne Bossardet strummed a dulcimer in the Folkcraft lobby.

Like most of the instru-ments that leave the Woodburn shop, her moun-tain dulcimer was custom made. The four strings span a 25-inch fret. “They specifically built it for my little tiny hands,” Bossardet said. It is made of butternut and walnut, which are popular choices in the world of dulcimers.

As Bossardet entertained anyone who paused to listen, her husband, Tom, was at one of four music workshops at Folkcraft. He plays ukulele, guitar, harmonica and dulcimer.

Bossardet said Folkcraft craftsmen deserve their reputation in the music industry. “They’re very good people. You’re lucky to have them,” she said.

She had shared similar sentiments in two thank you cards that were pinned to two cork boards in a Folkcraft hallway. The Bossardets’ Holland, Mich., return address was surrounded by cards that had been posted from as far east as Hurley, N.Y., and as far west as Olympia, Wash. The senders thanked Folk-

craft for custom orders and successful repairs.

“We have entire boxes of letters that won’t fit on the boards,” said Steve Ash, Folkcraft’s chief instrument maker and the brother of Folkcraft owner Richard Ash.

Musicians from 14 states and Canada were in Wood-burn on Aug. 14 and 15 for the Midwest Uke Fest. Many will return Sept. 19 and 20 for the Indiana Dulcimer Festival. They will see several familiar faces.

Bing Futch will instruct a two-day dulcimer boot camp on Sept. 17 and 18, and will be one of four session leaders at the weekend dulcimer festival. Futch also was one of four instructors at the ukulele festival.

The Los Angeles, Calif., native first worked with the dulcimer at Knotts Berry Farm amusement park in Buena Vista, Calif., in 1986. His career took him to his current home in Orlando, Fla., and to Walt Disney World. He sold dulcimers for Folkcraft, which was then based in Connecticut.

Richard Ash bought Folkcraft in January 2008 and moved it to Wood-burn. Futch stayed with the brand, and has been teaching at festivals in Woodburn since 2008. “It’s been a match made in

heaven,” he said.He learned the ukulele at

Ash’s suggestion. “A funny story about the ukulele was that I had been doing these events for Folkcraft, and Richard said, ‘We’d like to have you teach at our first ukulele festival.’ So I had a year to get up to speed so I could teach the beginning class,” Futch said.

Futch teaches ukulele and dulcimer almost year-round. “I’ve been on the road for 81 days,” he said. “This tour will encompass 26 states. I’ll go home and take a week and a half off, and then I’ll do another tour.”

Those close to folk music will recognize Futch

from his Dulcimerica podcast, on which he and Don Pedi play “The Old Black Cat Couldn’t Catch a Rat.” View it at thed-ulcimericavideopodcast.blogspot.com.

He has seen many people make their first visit to the workshop in Indiana’s smallest city, in the farm-land of Indiana’s largest county.

“They walk into the showroom, and there’s usually a gasp, and they go ‘Oh, my god, look at all these dulcimers.’ People will drive out of their way to go to Woodburn,” he said.

“I think the No. 1 thing that attracts people to it is

it’s easy to play,” he said. He asks people whether they have five minutes to get acquainted with the instrument. “They’ll say ‘OK, five minutes.’ And five minutes later they’re strumming,” he said.

Richard Ash states Futch’s credentials emphat-ically. “He’s the world’s greatest dulcimer player,” he said.

The two-day dulcimer class is filling up quickly, Ash said. The preliminary two-day dulcimer boot camp has separate registra-tion, but will attract many of the same people.

Ash explained that people coming from as far away as Florida and Texas wanted a longer festival. “They spend more time traveling than they do at the festival,” he said.

Futch will open the camp with the basics and advance as quickly as prac-tical. “It’s totally different material and instruction, and it’s worth doing,” Ash said. He said the dulcimer festival format will mirror that of the recent ukulele festival. “We have classes and concerts and four instructors and concerts, and meals, and a lot of camaraderie and people go back to the hotel after the concert Saturday night and sit around in the hotel lobby till all hours making music together.”

Of the 50 students

booked at the ukulele festival, a half-dozen were from Fort Wayne and New Haven. None were from Woodburn. “We had people come from 19 states last year,” Ash said.

When Folkcraft is not a classroom, it is still a factory, store and show-case.

Production is time-in-tensive. “If I were to go from start to finish trying to build one, it would take me 12 or 13 hours,” Steve Ash said. “But we tend to do them in batches, so we get about 10 a week.”

He said Folkcraft experi-ments with designs; not all are successful. “We’ll have a bonfire every now and then,” he said.

The showroom dulcimers carry either the Folkcraft brand or the label of Folk-roots, which Folkcraft acquired before the sale to Ash. Folkcraft manufac-tures ukuleles under their own brand, Druid Moon.

“Dulcimers are actually relatively inexpensive,” Steve said. “A nice quality starting dulcimer ranges from about 400 bucks. A high-end custom, you’re unlikely to break $1,500. And we have electronics built into them, we have pickups built into them, and we have all kinds of features to get up to that $1,500. But they’re still relatively inexpensive as far as the hobby goes.”


Striking the right chord Woodburn instrument manufacturer finds following from across U.S.

Jeanne Bossardet of Holland, Mich., plays her custom-made dulcimer at a gathering at Folkcraft Instruments, Woodburn. The manufacturer will host the Indiana Dulcimer Festival on Sept. 19 and 20.

(Editor’s note: During her first year out of high school, Allen County resident Larissa Johnson served a combined five months in missions work outside the U.S.

Johnson, who settled in at Indiana University on Aug. 19, said she had

determined to travel and serve during that bridge year. The 2014 Snider High School graduate is the daughter of Nick and Alane Johnson of New Haven. The family attends Fellowship Missionary Church.

Johnson replied to

questions from Times Community Publications. This is her story.)

Q: Where did you serve in 2014?

A: Last year, I spent three months in Guate-mala. I worked as a nanny in a home for

special needs children. It is run by an American family who has moved there, and it’s called Hope for Home.

Q: Where did you serve in 2015?

A: This year, I spent seven weeks in Fuzhou, China, working in a Christian orphanage named Living Hope International. I also spent my last week there as a teacher in an English camp for local Chinese children.

Q: Had you planned to take off a year before college?

A: I knew from the start of my senior year of high school, if not before, that I wanted to take a year off to travel and work. I was burnt out on school, and I knew that if I wanted to travel and volunteer, my time was now. so I went.

Q: What understanding did you gain from your travel?

A: I have gained an immense amount of insight that I would have lost out on, had I simply decided to jump straight into college, like many of my peers. Living in developing countries such as Guatemala and China is truly life-changing, and I lived as the locals did – not as a tourist.

Q: What surprised you most about each place?

A: In Guatemala, I stepped into their mud huts. I witnessed a family in grief, watching their

daughter with cere-bral palsy wither away, because they simply didn’t have the resources to give her the care she needed — let alone feed her. We always hear about poverty in devel-oping countries, but it becomes different when you’re living in it. It becomes very real when hearing tales of poverty is met with real faces and

real stories.In China, I slept on a

bamboo mat as a bed. I ate things like chicken head, chicken feet, fish brain, pig intestine, and jellyfish. Yes, Chinese appreciate exotic foods. But really, when their country has a population of around 1.3 billion people, they have to conserve every part of every animal they can get. I truly wanted to step into their shoes.

Hearing about stolen children in China was heartbreaking. Many of the children living in the orphanage had been stolen from families to be trafficked, then later found by local police. It was truly heartbreaking to hear. Yet another child there had been living in the orphanage all his life, then was adopted by a Chinese family who soon all passed away … so he was sent back to

a different orphanage. I can’t imagine the amount of pain that child, and many like him, has faced.

Q: Did you build ongoing friendships?

A: I definitely built ongoing relationships at both places. I get to keep my Spanish up to par by connecting with Guatemalan friends via Facebook. And I have a special app just to keep in touch with my Chinese

friends. My dream is to return to both places one day, hopefully very soon.

Q: How important was the support of your parents or others during your work in Guatemala and China?

A: I am incred-ibly grateful for how supportive my parents were of this. Not once did I hear them discourage me from going. Many people told me I would

never return to school, or that I wouldn’t be able to last in another country. But my parents were incredibly encouraging, and on board with every-thing from the start.

Q: What do you plan to study at IU?

A: I’m thinking about anything from music therapy, to anthropology, to psychiatry — some field where I can learn about and help people.

Fort Wayne’s newest Subway sandwich store is green in color and in function.

Jeff Sebeika, who owns the store at 5888 Coldwater Road, said the building earned Leadership Energy and Environmental Design designation from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED buildings qualify for the designation by their design and construction,

and by the way they are operated and maintained.

The Subway is one of four that Sebeika owns in Fort Wayne.

The free-standing store near the intersection of Coldwater and Washington Center roads opened Sept. 3. Sebeika announced that a Sept. 19 dedication celebration will feature live music, children’s activities and give-aways throughout

the day.The Coldwater Subway’s

LEED features include increased insulation in the foundation, walls and roof assemblies, low-flow plumbing fixtures, LED lighting throughout, high-performance glazing in windows and doors and concrete paving in the parking area to reduce heat. Priority parking is provided for low-emission

vehicles, and a charging station serves electric vehi-cles.

Many of the building materials for the store were locally sourced and contain recycled content. Construc-tion waste was managed to minimize trips to the landfill.

In another innovation, drive-thru customers will pull up to a large picture window, where they will

make their selections and watch their sandwiches being made.

“This was the first store I was constructing from the ground up, so I wanted to use this opportunity to do something socially respon-sible in Fort Wayne, where I grew up,” Sebeika said. “In my other stores, I’m involved with all sorts of community organizations, because I believe in being

a good corporate citizen.”The Coldwater Subway

building “will lead by example as a promoter of sustainability,” said Andrew Hesterman, chair of the Indiana Chapter, Northeast Branch, of the U.S. Green Building Council. “It’s a breath of fresh air for this city to have this local business committed to environmen-tally responsible living.”

Police canine team association to gather in New Haven

By Linda [email protected]

As many as 150 crack-erjack police teams will attend a national confer-ence hosted by New Haven in September. Half of the participants will be getting around on four legs.

Hosting the American Police Canine Associa-tion’s annual meeting Sept. 20-25 is an ambitious undertaking for the city of 15,600.

“We don’t do things small,” said conference organizer Deb-Anne Smith, executive assistant to New Haven Mayor Terry McDonald. “We go big or go home.”

The meeting serves as an annual training event for canine teams, which must pass initial certification exams and then re-cer-tify each year. Dogs and handlers will be attending from all over the country.

“For some teams, this is their only opportunity to certify,” said Sgt. Brent Bolinger, who with his dog, Armor, is one of New Haven Police Department’s three canine teams. “The main focus is training, to expose the dog teams to new trainings, events they might not ordinarily get to do.”

The event also provides networking for law

enforcement, said New Haven Police Chief Henry McKinnon.

“Not only is it good for them to see our commu-nity, and we can brag about our community…but these officers, and even officers like myself who are not canine officers, can network with others,” he said. “You never know when we’ll need each other.”

New Haven launched its canine program in 1981. Bolinger worked with his first dog for 10 years and has worked with Armor for three. Officer Jonathan Wenzel has worked with his dog, Henry, since 2012. The department’s third team is Officer Scott Adam and his dog, Remi.

The host hotel for the event is the Holiday Inn IPFW.

Canine teams like New Haven’s learn to perform a lot of tasks: suspect tracking and apprehension, building and area searches, drug detection, and even to deploy from helicopters or boats if needed. Wenzel and his dog, for example, spent 14 weeks, eight hours a day, five days a week, learning to work together before they got their certification.

“It’s another academy for these guys, training with a new partner,”

McKinnon said.The annual ACPA

conference lets the teams learn new things, brush up on their techniques, get updates on legal issues and share war stories.

New Haven signed up more than 40 sponsors to help defray costs and supply print materials, food and gift bag items for the attendees.

“This is a packed confer-ence. We’re offering a lot of different things show-casing the community as well,” Smith said.

The speaker at the awards banquet Sept. 24 is the outspoken Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who will cheer lead the law enforcement community.

“He understands what officers go through day in, day out,” McKinnon said. “These can be trying times and I think he’s going to be a positive motivational speaker.”

including Hobby, some of whose works are published by MorningStar. When Lawson shared the oppor-tunity with Hobby, he jumped at the chance.

His goals for both compositions are familiar. “It’s always to help people give glory to God and to help God speak to them through the music,” Hobby said. “The difference this time around is that the whole world is watching.”

Both pieces will be streamed live through St. Patrick’s website, saint-patrickscathedral.org. Broadcast plans have not been announced.

Hobby, who has served at Trinity English Lutheran since 1987, oversees a music program that includes five vocal choirs for children, youth and adults, two bell choirs, two steel drum ensembles and a recorders choir. He is assisted by Mitch Rorick, associate music director. During his tenure, Hobby has established a choral series, which has commis-sioned 17 composers thus far; hosted a regional convention of the Associ-ation of Lutheran Church Musicians; and produced four recordings. Trinity will host the ALCM again in

the summer of 2016.As a composer, Hobby

has more than 250 compo-sitions published by various publishing houses, including two major works. “The Good Shepherd” is scored for tenor solo, adult and children’s choirs and orchestra. “Holy Light” is a 13-movement choral/instru-mental Christmas work.

Hobby’s compositions have been featured on national television and syndicated radio shows and have been performed at numerous national venues, including Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and the national convention of the American Guild of Organ-ists in Los Angeles.

Hobby keeps an active schedule as a performer and a clinician, playing for national conventions including the Hymn Society of the U.S. and Canada, Organ Historical Society, and National Pastoral Musicians. He has been a featured artist with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, conducted the premiere of Andrew Carter’s “Concerto in C” for organ, with David Higgs at the organ, and led workshops across the nation. He has played and conducted for the national music conferences of the

Association of Lutheran Church Musicians, Fellow-ship of Baptist Musicians, and the Presbyterian Asso-ciation of Musicians.

He is a member of several professional music organizations, in which he has held numerous leader-ship roles.

Hobby began playing piano in the second grade, and by fourth grade, he was playing the organ at Grace Lutheran Church, Columbia City, where his father, Clark Hobby, served as pastor. Hobby received his bachelor’s degree in church music from Wittenberg University and his master’s in music (organ performance) from the University of Notre Dame. He was awarded an honorary doctorate in music from Wittenberg University. In 2008, a music student at Ball State University created an annotated bibliography of Hobby’s choral works for the student’s doctoral thesis in choral conducting.

Hobby and his wife, Jennifer, have three daugh-ters.

Hobby is quick to share his excitement that he will be in New York to witness both pieces in the services and to sing with the large choir at the Mass in Madison Square Garden.

An item in Trinity’s Parish Visitor says, “It is an honor for Bob to have this unique compositional opportunity; it is equally exciting for him to be invited to witness both pieces in the services and sing with the choir for the large Mass.”

Church book study topicis ‘Go Set a Watchman’

The Rev. Greg Enstrom, lead pastor at First Wayne Street United Methodist Church of Fort Wayne, will host a six-week study of the newly released Harper Lee novel “Go Set a Watchman.”

Enstrom will lead the discussions at 6 p.m. each Wednesday, beginning Sept. 16. Everyone is welcome. First Wayne Street UMC is at 300 E. Wayne St. For detail, call (260) 422-4681.

Enstrom encouraged participants to reread the “Watchman” author’s

better known novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” before the “Watchman” book study begins. The class will include discussion that compares and contrasts the two books.

Classes are held from 6-7:30 pm. However, during the class session on Wednesday, Sept. 30, the class will also watch the movie “To Kill a Mock-ingbird,” starring Gregory Peck. Because the movie runs 2 hours and 9 minutes, that class session will last longer than usual.

The “Go Set a

Watchman” class is part of First Wayne Street’s program of Wednesday evening activities called “Making the Connection.” The program is designed to nurture and facilitate each person’s faith journey, and all are welcome. The church addresses interests of all ages in six-week and eight-week programs on Wednesday afternoons and evenings in fall, winter and spring sessions.

“Making the Connection provides a comfortable, loving atmosphere to adults, youth and chil-

dren, with opportunities for everyone,” the church said in a statement. Adult activities include offerings from Bible study and book discussions to painting, gardening, crafts, quilting and more. Youth activities provide a gathering time for study and fellowship. Chil-dren’s activities combine lesson time, crafts, games and music. During this fall session, the You Can Paint class begins at 1 p.m. each Wednesday. Dinner is served at 5 p.m. in Fellow-ship Hall, and activities and classes begin at 6 p.m.

Dogs enjoying new Camp Canine

Dogs and their owners in north Fort Wayne now have access to a dog park closer to home. Camp Canine is open at Johnny Appleseed Park.

Parks & Recreation Director Al Moll was joined by dog owners at the Camp Canine dedication.

“Residents on the north side of town have been requesting a dog park since we opened Pawster Park in Foster Park,” he said. “Johnny Appleseed Park seemed like the perfect location because we have enough space there and there are amenities nearby. Campers will also be able to utilize the dog park, if their dogs have proof of all their vaccinations.”

Camp Canine is 60,000 square feet of grassy, fenced play space, divided into two separate areas. Separating the space allows for crews to clean and mow one side while keeping the other side open. A 600-ft. open-air shelter and patio was added. Bone-shape benches and fire hydrants

are located throughout the grassy area. The drinking fountains have a ground level bowl for dogs, and a higher bowl for humans.

The $40 annual Pooch Pass is valid at both dog parks. Half-season passes are available as well, July 1-Dec. 31, for $20. Dog owners must provide proof that rabies, distemper and parvo vaccinations are up to date and were administered by a licensed veterinarian. Tags must be visibly attached to the dog’s collar at all times while using the dog park. Passes are available at the Parks and Recreation Main office, 705 E. State Blvd., Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Camp Canine drinking fountains have a ground level bowl just for dogs.

A Fort Wayne program that matches tutors with striving students said thank you to both groups. Study Connection kicked off its 27th year with a recognition breakfast.

St. Joseph Central Elementary School fifth-grader Victoria Clibon stepped up before the audience at Ceruti’s on Innovation Boulevard to accept the 2015 Don Wolf Outstanding Student Award

“Victoria has been a Study Connection student for the last two years at St. Joseph Methodist Church,” said Melanie Hall, the FWCS public affairs director. “She was nominated by her teacher, who said Melanie had a genuine interest in learning and took advantage of the Study Connection to work on math, spelling and writing.

“Her teacher said of Victoria, ‘She’s motivated to not only make good grades, but also to under-stand her assignments and the skills they represent. Study Connection has given her the tools that she needed to work on her skills, to raise her grades, and give her a feeling of confidence in her abilities at all academic areas.’ “

Joining Hall at the award presentation was Don Wolf, the founder of Study Connection. Wolf is the retired CEO and president emeritus of Do It Best Corp. Since he founded Study Connection in 1989, the program has served more than 10,000 students.

Students and volunteers meet each week after school for one hour during the school year. Besides extra homework help, the students also find a mentor in the community. To find out about volun-teer opportunities, call (260) 467-8811.

Victoria’s school was represented twice at the awards breakfast. Jodi Smith-Causey, the case manager at St. Joseph Central Elementary School, was recognized as the Connie Dickey Outstanding FWCS Colleague. Smith-Causey works with two sites — St. Joe United Methodist Church and Medical Protective. She is respon-sible for a total of 27 students.

“Jodi maintains constant contact with both site directors,” Hall said. “She’s very dedi-cated to the students. One

student didn’t qualify for transportation, but Jodi felt so strongly that Study Connection was great for this student, she personally transported this student home every day.”

Angela Hudson received the Mike McClelland Outstanding Volunteer Award. “She has been with Study Connection since she was in high school,” Hall said. Hudson is a tutor, site director at Ivy Tech, and a classroom coach at Waynedale Elementary School. Hall said Hudson also is an accomplished graphic designer.

Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry said the extra atten-tion provided by tutors helps students to achieve on higher levels.

“I’m up here to thank all of you because the young people that you’re working with, those chil-dren get chosen to spend just a little bit of time with you, to help them get just a little bit farther in their studies, to help turn it around a bit, to help understand how important education is,” Henry said. “It truly can make all the difference.”

He said the communi-ty’s attention to education also serves to attract jobs.

“Now when employers look at Fort Wayne they can see a young man or young woman who under-stands how education works, who is trainable,” he said.

the Mishawaka Penn marching band show. This year he has done a custom arrangement for Concordia.

The band will build on a Bible theme. The show is titled “And the Greatest of These: Faith, Hope and Love.”

The band will present most of the show in competition Saturday, Sept. 12, at the “On the Banks of the Wabash” marching competition at Bluffton High School. Concordia takes the field at 7:02 p.m.

“We won’t be doing the whole show at Bluffton, just part of it, probably through the ballad,” Moellering said. The band will continue developing and fine-tuning the show en route to ISSMA state finals.

The Cadets march Sept. 26 at the East Noble High School band festival, and Oct. 3 at the Home-stead High School Fall Invitational. Competing in Open Class C, the Cadets will enter the Oct. 17 ISSMA Regional at Chesterton High School. The band will work to advance to the Oct. 31 Semi-State at Decatur Central High School in Indianapolis, and the Nov. 7 state finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

For the first time in several years, Concordia

will enter a Bands of America Super Regional, Oct. 24 in Indianapolis. Moellering said the band will not enter the BOA

national finals.Concordia is a frequent

Class C state finalist, 2012 state runner-up and 2013 state champion.

some voice-overs from students sharing inter-esting brain facts,” Klee said. “And we’re talking about how people — especially adolescents — develop their sense of love, courage and purpose and creativity as a response to the changes that go on in their brain during this very crucial part of their lives.”

The Snider band numbers 100, which Klee said is up slightly from last year. That number includes the 24 members of the guard. Mike Beights wrote the drill for the show. Ryan Long directs the guard.

“The band is very young this year,” Klee

said. “Almost half of our members are new to the marching band program, but they’re working very, very hard. We have good leadership from our upper class students and we are really looking forward to getting the show all together and performing for an audi-ence.”

That first opportunity will come Saturday, Sept. 12, at the “On the Banks of the Wabash” marching competition at Bluffton High School. Snider will take the field at 4:52 p.m.

Snider will not host area schools at its customary band festival this season. “We hope to have a festival again next year,” Klee said.

The band is competing in the Indiana State School Music Associa-tion’s Scholastic Class A. Scholastic class groups compete based on the size of the band rather than the size of the school. Competi-tion begins Oct. 10 at Homestead High School. A gold rating qualifies bands for the Scho-lastic finals at Lawrence Central High School in Indianapolis on Oct. 24.

Celebrating the life-changing power of accessibility.

In 1990, our country took a giant step forward when the

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law. While

there is still work to be done, the ADA has put education,

transportation, employment and many other aspects of

daily life within reach for people with disabilities.

At the AWS Foundation, our mission is to help

children and adults with enduring intellectual,

developmental and physical disabilities live

as independently as possible, be included

in the community and function at their

highest potential. In celebration of the

25th anniversary of the ADA, we’ve

launched a year-long campaign that

highlights the accomplishments of just

a few of the remarkable people in our

community who are determined not to

let their disabilities hold them back.

Join us in the celebration.
