Art show to share parkwith food truck festival

By Garth [email protected]

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

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 indica-tions are this year will be also,” she said. “We haven’t used the gazebos in years past, but this year I think we’ve grown enough that we will use the gazebos.

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

Fort Wayne Food Truck has signed on with least 11 vendors. That separate event is known as the Fort Wayne Food Truck Fall Festival.

Wulpi, who is also Chamber of Commerce president, will provide the judges and awards for the food truck competition.

Wulpi founded Arts at the Riverside in her capacity as chamber president. Art show sponsorship since had passed to the Leo-Cedar-ville Foundation.

Grabill Country Fair funBy Lucretia [email protected]

The roughly 1,000 residents of a “friendly little town” north of Fort Wayne know how to put on a party – it’s been doing so since 1973.

The 44th annual Grabill Country Fair will cele-brate the area’s Amish heritage with three days of crafts, contests, music and food. This year’s festivi-ties begin Thursday, Sept. 10, and end Saturday, Sept. 12.

The festival draws about 100,000 visitors to Grabill and boasts to be “one of the finest craft fairs” with 130 craft booths, according to the fair’s website. The crafts show-cased and sold include ornate woodworking, pristine glass blowing, intricate needlepoint and detailed ceramic villages.

The exhibition hall, inside Grabill Missionary

Church, provides a chance for local bakers, canners, gardeners, quilters, wood-workers, photographers and others to show off the fruits of their labor. Between 300-400 items are expected to be on

display.Items to be judged must

be brought to the church’s hall between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Sept. 9, according to the website.

The building is air-con-ditioned and will be open

during the fair come rain or shine, according to organizers.

But the fair is not limited to crafts and produce. Some of its most

The baby crawl will take place at 6 p.m. Sept. 11 in the activities area of the Grabill Country Fair.

Festival antiques directorkeeps history of treasures


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

Free festival tastefully celebrates the sensesBy Lucretia [email protected]

With a record number

of participants, the 7th annual Taste of the Arts provides an opportunity to experience art using all

five senses.The one-day fine art

and food extravaganza on Aug. 29 features perfor-

mances by local artists on 10 stages, an arts market-place, hands-on activities and more than 30 local restaurant vendors.

The event, at 303 E. Main St., is free to the public but tickets will be sold for food and drinks. Half of the ticket sale will go directly to support Arts United, which develops, coordi-nates and supports arts and cultural efforts in northeast Indiana.

Taste of the Arts begins at 11 a.m. and lasts until midnight.

“The admission is free because the key goal is accessibility,” said Susan Mendenhall, Arts United president.

The festival is “immer-sive,” Mendenhall added.

With six instrumental and dance performances happening at one time, ongoing participatory activities and delicious aromas wafting through the air from the food vendors, attendees can see, hear, feel, taste and smell artistry in its many

different forms.“The real purpose of

this event is to celebrate and support art diversity and highlight the culture and diversity of art in the community,” she said.

Last year, the event attracted roughly 25,000 people and the same number — weather permitting — is expected this year as well. To accommodate, more performers and restau-rants are participating in the festival this year.

The performers are from the greater Fort Wayne area, said Carmen Tse, who is co-chairing the festival.

One of Tse’s favorite aspects of the festival is the arts activities area, where more than 40 nonprofit organizations provide kid-friendly activities. For example, children have the oppor-tunity to learn some moves from ballerinas with the Fort Wayne Ballet, and musicians with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic introduce

children to instruments.Another highlight will

be more than 20 plein air painters participating in Artlink’s Wet Paint Auction. Silent bids will be taken at the event for the art being created in front of the public eye. All proceeds will support programming at Artlink, a nonprofit art gallery.

Also, the Downtown Improvement District’s BuskerFest will take place alongside Taste of the Arts at Freimann Square, 200 E. Main St. BuskerFest was canceled earlier this summer due to weather, but many of the performers will be participating in the event Aug. 29.

Put on by the Down-town Improvement District, Busker Square at Taste of the Arts cele-brates arts through street performance.

Busker Square is also free and takes place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

No need to leave town to be a tourist Sept. 13By Mariah [email protected]

Visit Fort Wayne invites locals to discover all that Fort Wayne has to offer and wants to reintroduce them to a city of culture, entertainment and attrac-tions.

The 17th annual Be A Tourist In Your Own Hometown event will be going on downtown from noon-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13. Both locals and those from out-of-town will get the chance to visit 12 museums and attractions for free.

The event is expected to bring about 30,000 resi-dents and visitors.

“It’s a really fun opportunity for people to take time to explore the city as visitors do,” said Kristen Guthrie, director of marketing for Visit Fort

Wayne. “We have so many great museums and attrac-tions here that visitors love but residents don’t always take the time to visit so it’s a great day to celebrate together.”

Before embarking on an adventure downtown, pick up a passport in August at a Fort Wayne Kroger or Old National Bank loca-tion. Passports will be used to get a stamp at each loca-tion. Visitors are also able to download the passport from visitfortwanye.com.

The list of participating museums and attractions includes the following:

• African/African-Amer-ican History Museum;

• Allen County Court-house;

• Cathedral Museum;• Embassy Theatre;• Foellinger-Freimann

Botanical Conservatory;• Historic Fort Wayne;

• History Center;• Fort Wayne Museum

of Art;• Parkview Field;

• Science Central;• The Lincoln Tower;

and• Visit Fort Wayne Visi-

tors Center.The event is a result

of Visit Fort Wayne staff realizing that residents aren’t always aware of the museums and attractions available to them, Guthrie said. In order to bring large crowds, locations open their doors for free to elim-inate excuses or costly fees that can sometimes deter visitors.

“This also allows resi-dents to become good ambassadors for the city of Fort Wayne,” Guthrie said. “This way, they are able to share all the great attrac-tions to friends and family coming from out of town.”

For additional informa-tion, call (260) 424-3700 or visit visitfortwayne.com/beatourist.

Historic Fort Wayne, a faithful copy of the Fort Wayne that was built in 1815-16, will be open during Be A Tourist in Your Own Hometown, Sept. 13.

Police canine team group to gather in New HavenBy Linda [email protected]

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

Hosting the American Police Canine Association’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 community, and we can brag about our community…but these offi-cers, 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 certi-fication.

“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 showcasing 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.”

PUBLIC CANINE DEMONSTRATIONWednesday, Sept. 23, 4:30-7:30 p.m.New Haven High School, 1300 Green Road.Free and open to public. Principal Greg Mohler will participate in a demonstration. The public may meet canine service dogs.

Sgt. Brent Bolinger and his dog, Armor, are one canine team of three at the New Haven Police Department.

Huntertown event canceled;October picnic still possible

By Ryan [email protected]

The 2015 Huntertown Heritage Days Festival has been canceled. The festival, themed “We Honor Our First Responders,” was sched-uled for Sept. 11 and 12.

“I don’t see Huntertown Heritage Days going away, I just see that it’s not going to happen this year because of a lack of dona-tions and volunteer help,” said Kregg Snyder, festival committee president. “It’s beyond disappointing. There are only five of us that [serve on the committee]. With your own life and your job, to try and do the job of 10-20 people and finding money, it’s hard.”

Snyder said that festival committee has begun dialogue with the town park committee — Friends of Hunter-town Parks Inc. — about taking over the festival and moving it to the park. For 2015, Snyder said discussions with park board President Dan Holmes center on a family picnic day in October, including a performance by the band that was booked for the festival.

According to Snyder, it takes between $12,000 and $14,000 to put on a typical two-day Heritage Days Festival weekend. So far in 2015, Snyder said, only $2,500 had been donated.

“I have been getting a lot of interest here lately in the parade and the merchant tent, but there was almost nothing until the last couple of weeks. It was looking pretty dreary for a festival,” Snyder said.

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 grandparents’ stuff.”

Marilou went to more auctions, and bought many of the items at what she called reasonable prices. “And the thing of it is, it’s much older stuff like from the 1800s and 1860s,” 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.

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.”

“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.

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.

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 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.

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

Not every item that’s protected in a frame in Borne’s home dates back to the 19th century. The Lone Ranger toy pistol is in excellent condition, she said, but she has always been a Hopalong Cassidy fan. Witness the lunch box that she carries in a photo

from her first day of school, and which rests on a nearby shelf.

Borne spent her career as as a representative of the Nestle Co., visiting grocery stores. Her husband, Bruce, retired from a career as a postal carrier.

They both like to go to auctions. “I don’t think we’ve ever bid against each other. Have we?” she said.

Borne wants to pass along both antiques and appreciation of antiques to another generation. She believes some members of that age group share those attachments. “I can’t really say it’s the majority,” she said.

“I think it’s very important that this gener-ation leave something for the next generations to have that tells a family history,” she said. “I like genealogy and some of these things I can pick up and say whose it is and how it got there and who it belonged to. But it’s important to not throw great-grandma’s old dresser away, unless it’s in really bad shape, because somebody would want that. And even it’s not a family member, if it’s someone who’s interested in the antique, they’re interested in the story, too. Who did it belong to? Where did it come from? Was it from Fort Wayne or did it come from Kentucky. Those are just things that interest people, or at least me and people like me.”

Festival to celebrate monarch butterflies

Little River Wetlands Project plans the 2015 Monarch Festival from noon-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, at Eagle Marsh preserve, 6801 Engle Road, Fort Wayne. Admission is free.

The event celebrates the monarch butterfly, hundreds of which are likely to be stopping by the preserve on their fall migration.

The festival will offer displays, including live monarchs in various stages of metamorphosis. Visitors will learn about monarchs’ life cycle, migration, and threats to their survival. Visitors can hike a trail among towering sunflowers to see a variety of butter-flies.

There will be a presen-tation on monarchs in their winter home, and many activities for chil-dren. New this year will be a station where partic-ipants can learn how to tag monarchs and why it is important to track their 2,000-mile migration to their wintering grounds in Mexico.

Attendees will be given varieties of milkweed, the only plant on which monarchs can lay their eggs, for planting in

home gardens or at the preserve. At a Pollinator Farmers Market, also new this year, visitors can buy native plants for their gardens to help butterflies and other pollinators survive. “As monarch populations dip to precipitously lower levels, the Monarch Festival showcases the butterflies’ plight, but also emphasizes what anyone — from home gardeners to farmers and businesses — can do to help,” LRWP

said in a statement.For details, visit lrwp.

The festival is presented by Lutheran Health Network with major funding from a Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Commu-nities grant through the National Fish and Wild-life Foundation. General Motors and Coventry Meadows have contrib-uted to help support the Monarch Festival.

The second annual RideGreen to support a sustainable Fort Wayne

will be Saturday, Sept. 12, beginning at Headwaters Park West, Fort Wayne. The U.S. Green Building Council Indiana Chapter Northeast is the host. The ride attracted nearly 300 entrants in its inaugural year.

The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a free well-ness and fitness ride on the Fort Wayne trails oriented toward families and chil-dren. The adults-only pub tour will begin at 1:30 p.m. Both events will include stops at several of down-town Fort Wayne’s most popular locations, taking advantage of existing bike paths and trails.

Individual tickets for the pub tour are $25 and include event T-shirts. For details, visit sustainfort-wayne.org. Tickets are on sale until Sept. 1

The group hopes to highlight Fort Wayne desti-nations. Participants will be able to meet other local people who share a vested interest in downtown Fort Wayne, the environment, pub culture, local dining treasures, and biking.

Tractors to allamande left


Skeeter Daugherty makes a personal sacrifice for the good of Lily Pearl’s Square Dancing Tractors.

When that Rochester precision tractor team enter-tains Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Monroeville Summer-Fest, eight men will guide their bright red Farmall H tractors through Commu-nity Park Arena.

Daugherty, however, is green through and through. “I’m a John Deere guy. It doesn’t sit well,” he said. “But we use a John Deere in the show, so I get over it quickly.”

Eight drivers follow the caller’s instructions. Four wear men’s clothing; four wear women’s clothing.

“The John Deere comes in and shoos away the men,” Daugherty said.

In his years with the Fulton County Historical Power Association, Daugh-erty has favored the John Deere Model G or the Model A, with its distinc-tive two-cylinder exhaust rhythm.

Antique tractor clubs are divided not only by the trademark John Deere and Farmall colors, but also by the blue, orange and tan of other models. And yes, even other shades of red and green.

When Daugherty and friend Carl Overmyer persuaded enough tractor buffs to start a square dance team, a decision had to be made.

Overmyer said he first

proposed a square dancing tractor traveling troupe six years ago, but couldn’t sell it. “So the plan was to get eight of us together and start dancing and just do this for the club,” he said. “To do that, we had eight different kinds of tractors and everything.

“There were other people wanting us to dance for them, too. That’s when we decided to get the red H’s. They’re more uniform, it’s better timing, and it makes for a better show.”

The troupe has grown from eight tractors to 14, so drivers can have a weekend off to spend with their families. The drivers all live within 20 miles of Rochester.

Red or green, the troupe still has a personal appeal to Daugherty. “My wife’s grandmother was Lily Pearl, so we used her name to give it a little class,” he said.

Learn more about the square dancing tractors at lilypearldancers.wix.com/dancing-tractors.

SummerFest is a fund-raiser for Saint Rose of Lima Parish, which oper-ates a school of that same name in the former Monro-eville Elementary School building.

(ALLEN COUNTY) The nationwide credit crisis may have turned “the American dream” into an extended nightmare for many Indiana home buyers and sellers. Banks and mortgage lenders (who are not going out of business) have tightened up their lending requirements to the point where many home buyers today can no longer qualify for a mortgage.Record foreclosures, rising unemployment, losses in the financial markets and the current credit crunch have not only reduced the number of buyers who can buy but have also increased the number of houses that sellers need to sell.Prices are under pressure as home sellers lower their asking price to attract a buyer, and as lenders resell their foreclosed homes below market value. And it’s turning into a vicious cycle -- as many buyers need to sell their current home first -- and many sellers (unless they plan to rent) need new financing to get into their next home. As a result, a sea of real estate agents, mortgage brokers and home build-ers are going out of business. These profes-sionals are in the business of serving buyers and sellers. But that’s hard to do with the credit crisis when the entire real estate industry traditionally relies on mortgage lending to finance buyers and get houses sold. What can homeowners do to sell their homes? How can buyers get financing if they can’t meet the tougher lending criteria on credit scores, income verification, down payment amounts and debt ratios?

There’s one local real estate profes-sional who has found a way to make things work even with the present bank-ing crisis. Mike MacDonald is the president of Summit City Investments, Inc. Since 1999, his private investment company has been buying houses throughout the Allen County, IN region without ever relying on banks. MacDonald’s company takes over existing mortgages or brings in private lenders allowing him to pay homeowners all cash for the properties. He then offers his properties for rent or “for sale by owner” using a variety of unique seller financing programs. By taking a long term approach and never relying on banks, business has never been better for MacDonald and his company.

Mike says it’s normal for people to think

they must be desperate before calling him to buy their house. “It’s a very common misconception. But until I look at a house and do some research, I won’t know my game plan for the property or what I can offer. But after a single visit to the property and meeting with the homeowners I can let them know exactly what I can do. My offer is good for 7 days and it’s only at that point, with my offer on the table, that a seller can decide if I’m going to become their buyer.” In fact, price is not an issue for MacDonald. As an investor, what’s impor-tant to him is the determination of what income the property can produce. “It’s easy to determine. I also do an appraisal and look at the recent comparable sales. Then I do whatever I can to offer a seller up to full price today -- or about what they might net sometime in the future pursuing a more conventional route. What I can pay depends on the condition, location and financing options available for that type of property. It only takes about 10 minutes to prescreen a property over the phone and to set an appointment. We typically buy 1 out of every 4 properties we see. In fact, for about half of those I have purchased, the seller pursued their other options and then came to realize that my offer was the best all along.” MacDonald believes the three biggest reasons a house doesn’t sell are: 1) it is overpriced, 2) it is poorly marketed, or 3) it is not fixed up to show well. “I can pay a fair price on a home that needs work. I might even plan to increase the value or market-ability by adding a bedroom or bath, finish-

ing a basement or installing a new heating system. Brand new carpet and paint will go a long way to attract a qualified buyer. But I understand that many sellers don’t have the time, inclination or money to remodel a house... just to get it sold. We solve that problem for sellers.” Overpricing a home could be the biggest mistake. Listing agents sometimes suggest (or a seller might decide) to ask for a higher price than needed. This might be to test the market or leave wiggle room to negotiate.

However, this can backfire if the seller wants (or needs) a quick sale, or when the “days on the market” stacks up causing buyers to wonder what’s wrong with the property. Another misconception about how Mike MacDonald buys houses is the idea that he’s probably looking for sellers in financial distress. “Look, when a seller is out of time or out of options, then I’m usually their best solution -- if their property is not over-financed. But most people headed for foreclosure are either overleveraged or actually looking to save their house. If I buy the house the seller must move. They really need to get into a more affordable home... but sometimes I can help by swapping properties.” MacDonald warns about companies and real estate investors who target distressed homeowners. “Recent laws have been passed in Indiana that apply to any business and investor who targets people in foreclosure. Be cautious, do your research and perhaps seek legal advice when anyone wants to charge you an upfront fee for helping to get your loan modified, or... if they’re promising to lease the home back to you. That rarely works out like the borrower expects and can lead to accusations of fraud. Perhaps rightly so.” What does a real estate investor like Mike MacDonald do with the houses he

buys each month? What about the hundreds of houses his company has bought throughout Allen County, Indiana over the last 14 years? Simple. He rents them out or resells them. “We’re usually managing 80 to 100 properties at any given time -- making us one of the largest owners of single family homes in the area. Each month we may have 10 to 15 houses for sale. Some we’ve owned for years and others we have recently bought.” With a reasonable down payment, MacDonald says he can sell you one of his properties using his popular owner financ-ing programs -- even if you have damaged credit or a short job history. His most popular owner financing

program includes the opportunity to build “sweat equity.” Before repairing or remodeling a newly acquired house, MacDonald offers it in “as-is” condition to his buyer’s list. This allows his client to do the work (to suit their own preferences) in exchange for all or part of a down payment. “I have a lot of buyers who check my website each week looking for these ‘fixer upper’ deals. But if the home is not under contract within 10 days or so then I’ll hire my contrac-tors to fix it up completely.” His next most popular program is a down payment assistance plan. Many buyers turn to MacDonald’s company because they don’t have the down payment required by today’s cautious lenders. Mike helps buyers build up equity or a down payment over time with his rent-to-own (or lease with the option to buy) program. In this program you can rent the property you’ve decided to buy, but have the option to close anytime over the next 1, 2... or even 5 years. A portion of the rent each month is credited toward buying. Additional amounts can be paid monthly for more rapid equity build up plus other promised amounts can be made later... like proceeds from the sale of another property or a pend-ing tax refund. Once the buyer has enough “skin” in the deal, MacDonald can close with owner financing at the predetermined, mutually agreed upon price and terms. Or the buyer can close with a new bank loan. According to MacDonald, “There are so many reasons my buyers like some time before qualifying for a mortgage. They may need to sell their house, work on their credit, establish more time on a job or establish two years of provable income on tax returns when self-employed. All our buyers are put in touch with a sharp mortgage broker who creates a plan for them. We can recommend an affordable credit repair company that can do unbelievable things given even a short 6 to 12 months to work on a file. This also helps

out some sellers who have found themselves in over their head.” “We do everything we can to get our buyers permanent bank financing. It’s a win-win because we pay sellers all cash and fund our deals with private lenders. Our lenders are mostly local individuals seeking alternatives to low bank CD rates. They earn 8 to 10% interest on real estate notes well-secured by our properties. When we get our buyer cashed out, we finally make our money and can payoff our investor. These investors usually want to reinvest allowing us to buy even more houses.” Unfortunately many of the mortgage programs once available are now gone. It’s reported that 75% of the available lending disappeared when FHA changed their rules last October and again early this year. But, if you have money to put down and can prove your income, there are still loans available now. In fact, some rural development loans and VA loans still allow qualified buyers to borrow with no money down. “We help all of our buyers get a bank loan as quickly as possible... or we finance them ourselves. But we’ve never relied on banks. That keeps us in control and main-tains our sanity. But we get those loans done every chance we get. In fact, sometimes a buyer can qualify and doesn’t even know it. Other times they can qualify but need a flexible seller. We’re one of the most creative and flexible sellers you’ll ever find,” says MacDonald. Does buying or selling a home have to be difficult? Maybe not! “President Obama says today's economy is the worst since the Great Depression and it may take many years to recover. Unfortu-nately I think he’s right and so do many sharp economists.” Interested in selling your property quickly and easily? Looking to buy a new home without bank qualifying? It may be worth checking in with Mike MacDonald and his staff at Summit City Investments, Inc. Call them at (260) 267-0760 or visit them online at www.SummitCityInvestments.com.

Three hundred Fort Wayne Community Schools students received free backpacks filled with new supplies, thanks to FWCS employees.

Volunteers gathered at the Grile Administrative Center to pack folders, rulers, erasers and more.

“We do something we call Casual Friday throughout the building,” said Grile Center employee Jackie Burnett, who was taking part for the third year. “If you want to wear jeans, each floor has a person who collects a dollar, and that funds most of this.” Some employees also donate items such as toys and Beanie Babies, she said.

Community organizations and individuals also donate. The gifts include tooth brushes and other needs.

Once packed, the bags are given to elementary school case managers, who work with principals to ensure that the bags

are discreetly delivered to students in need. Burnett said the handbags are distributed before the start of the school year.

In a statement, FWCS said this is the 22nd year the employees in the Grile Center, Maintenance & Operations, Media Services, Nutrition Services, South Transportation, Textbook Rental and the Warehouse have filled the backpacks.

FWCS also works with outside organizations to assist students in need. Those needing assistance with school supplies should contact staff at their child’s school.

Volunteers complete 80 projectsBy Garth [email protected]

The United Way of Allen County’s 23rd annual Day of Caring brought 1,250 volunteers together to complete 80 projects. Bene-ficiaries included schools, nonprofit agencies and private residences coordi-nated by NeighborLink.

More than 200 Fort

Wayne Community Schools employees and community partners became painters and landscape experts for one day, helping to prepare 10 school buildings for the new school year.

Three dozen Indiana Michigan Power employees spruced up the Nature Explorer Outdoor Class-room adjacent to Cedar

Canyons Elementary School in Northwest Allen County Schools. I&M has participated in Day of Caring for more than 20 years. This marked the group’s first experience at the outdoor classroom.

“We mulched all the trails going back behind the school,” said Jennifer Clark, the I&M project manager. “We worked

on the flower beds. We brought in new tree stumps so the kids would have better places to sit. We put mulch all around the little trees. We trimmed the trees. We braced the trees. We stained the tables.”

At Shambaugh Elemen-tary School, FWCS volunteers cleaned up the grounds next to the main

Dulcimer music to soundfrom Woodburn workshop


Welcome to Wood-burn, Ind., and four days of dulcimer music.

Folkcraft Instruments owner Richard Ash said music fans who arrive from all corners of the country asked for a longer festival that would give a greater return on their travel dollars. Yet musicians from north-east Indiana and vicinity were reluctant to obligate more vacation days.

So September features two, two-day dulcimer gatherings. Everything takes place at Folkcraft, 22133 Main St. The sixth annual Indiana Dulcimer Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 19 and 20. It will follow the 2015 Dulcimer Boot Camp, on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 17 and 18.

Anyone interested in filling one of the few remaining slots should contact Ash at [email protected]. For details and prices, visit DulcimerBootCamp.com. Charges for classes, concerts and meals are listed.

Dulcimer musician Bing Futch of Orlando,

Fla., is the host and instructor for the boot camp.

Jeanne Bossardet of Holland, Mich., enter-tained on her dulcimer in the Folkcraft lobby while her husband, Tom, attended a workshop at the recent Midwest Uke Fest. He plays ukulele, guitar, harmonica and dulcimer.

Like most of the instruments that leave the Woodburn shop, Bossardet’s mountain

dulcimer was custom made. The four strings span a 25-inch fret. “They specifically built it for my little tiny hands,” she said. It is made of butternut and walnut, which are popular choices in the world of dulcimers.

Bossardet said Folk-craft craftsmen deserve their reputation in the music industry. “They’re very good people. You’re

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 dedica-tion.

“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 ameni-ties 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.

Pet Supplies Plus spon-sored the grand opening, providing treats for the dogs that attended.

Hospice benefit to pairspecialty food and beers

An evening pairing specialty beers with gourmet foods will raise money for Hospice Home.

Seating is limited. Tickets are $125 per person and are available at Visiting Nurse, 5910 Homestead Road, Fort Wayne. For information, call (260) 435-3212.

PHP sponsors the event, with additional support provided by Indiana Michigan Power, Lutheran Health Network, PNC, Club Soda, Five

Folkcraft also hosted the Midwest Uke Fest on Aug. 15 and 16. Futch also was an instructor for that event.

Like the Bossardets, most Folkcraft students are from out of state. Of the 50 enrolled at the ukulele festival, only a handful were from the Fort Wayne are.

Neal Hellman and Dave Haas will join Futch and Ash as instruc-tors for the weekend dulcimer festival, which promises concerts, classes and fun for all

skill levels.“Bing is one of the

very best mountain dulcimer players on the planet,” Ash said. “I’m totally enamored with his style.

Ash handles marketing for Folkcraft, which he has owned since 2007. His brother, Steve, makes the dulcimers. That’s about a dozen a week at peak pace. Instruments can cost from $600 to $1,600, or more. Many are on display in the showroom. Most of the sales are done online.

Ash also manufactures ukuleles, which are sold under the Druid Moon brand.

New Subway restaurant earns LEED designationThe Subway sandwich

store opening Sept. 3 at 5788 Coldwater Road, Fort Wayne, is green in color and in function.

The U.S. Green Building Council awards Leadership Energy and Environmental Design designation to green buildings that qualify through their design and construction, and by the way they are operated and maintained.

The Coldwater Subway’s LEED features include increased insu-lation in the foundation, walls and roof assem-blies, low-flow plumbing fixtures, LED lighting throughout, high-per-formance glazing in windows and doors and concrete paving in the parking area to reduce heat. Priority parking will be provided for low-emission vehicles, and a charging station will serve electric vehi-cles.

Many of the building materials for the store were locally sourced and contain recycled content.

Construction waste was managed to minimize trips to the landfill.

In another innovation, drive-through customers will pull up to a large picture window, where they will make their selections and watch their sandwiches being made.

The free-standing Subway, near the inter-section of Coldwater and Washington Center roads, will have a dedi-cation celebration Sept. 19, featuring live music, children’s activities and give-aways throughout the day. The Subway is one of four in Fort Wayne owned by Jeff Sebeika.

“This was the first store I was constructing from the ground up, so I wanted to use this oppor-tunity to do something socially responsible 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 environ-mentally responsible living.”

entrance. Crews pushed wheelbarrows to haul mulch to surround the trees. Curbs and playground equipment got a new coat of bright, yellow paint. Benches got a fresh coat of blue paint.

Polly Swenson painted curbs. She said she has participated in Day of Caring for three or four years. “It’s always good to give back and help out,” she said. “There are a lot of hard-working people here, and I think everyone really enjoys it. It’s good camara-derie.”

Melanie Hall also painted curbs. She said she has worked with Day of Caring through other employers.

“It’s great being able to help out at the schools,” she said. “We don’t have enough funding to do a lot of this kind of work. So it feels really good to help. The schools are the most important part of our busi-ness.”

Crews also turned out at Anthis Center, Bunche Montessori Early Child-hood Center, Whitney Young Early Childhood Center, North Side High School, and Bloomingdale, Lindley, Maplewood, Price and Study elementary schools.

The 35 I&M workers who worked at Cedar Canyons serve in the greater Fort Wayne area. “But they’re from all over,” said Clark, the

project manager. “I’m from Tri-Lakes and Columbia City. We have one woman who’s from Warsaw.”

Jarrod Wilson, though, lives in the Northwest Allen County Schools district. On a typical work day, he supervises the five I&M networks covering Indiana and Michigan. “Today we were hauling mulch all day, with wheel-barrows, and helping the skid loader and getting the mulch put down,” he said.

Wilson’s children attend Carroll High School and Hickory Center Elementary School. He welcomed the chance to do something for the entire school system. “It means a lot,” he said. “I’m really excited to be engaged and actually help build

what my kids use and what we use. We’ve been here for 20 some years and we really enjoy Allen County.”

Trees Indiana co-founders Carol Cavell and Nancy Bradtmiller were among the last to leave after the day’s work.

“This is a stage we built,” Cavell said, pointing to a wooden platform where the woods meets the grassy hill. “I thought it was so appropriate this afternoon having the I&M workers sit down there for lunch. It’s old I&M electric

poles, and many still have the plates. We recycle and reuse a lot of stuff to build out here.”

“What Trees Indiana is about is connecting kids with nature and showing them that you can play outside and you don’t have to be connected to a screen,” she said. “So we do a lot of work with the schools and the teachers and encourage them to work with the student curriculum that we’ve developed. This is a big field trip site for a lot of the schools. We’ll have over a hundred kids here at one time.”

Teachers interested in arranging field trips may contact Cavell at (260) 704-4794.

Science Central adjustshours during school yearWith the opening of

the school year, Science Central has adjusted its schedule. New hours are: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday; and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. Science Central is closed Monday and Tuesday.

The school year hours will remain in effect until December, when schools are on winter break.

To allow building and exhibit maintenance, Science Central plans other schedule changes

Aug. 31-Sept. 11. For more information, visit sciencecentral.org.

Science Central is at 1959 N. Clinton St., Fort Wayne.

Science Central has provided a hands-on fun learning environ-ment for 20 years. The center offers more than 120 exhibits. Science Central offers school tours, distance learning programs and weekend public events. Almost 140,000 children and adults see the science and technology programs each year.


Concordia Lutheran High School 2015 grad-uate Lucas Beal of New Haven has been accepted to The Citadel military academy in Charleston, S.C.

Citadel admissions counselor Greg Dailey said Beal is one of three Indiana students accepted this fall.

He said about 650 of 2,500 applicants are accepted each year. “Not everyone is looking for a military college,” he said. “It’s a different experi-ence. Our cadets are in

uniform 24 hours a day, seven days a week, if they’re within 25 miles of campus.

The lifestyle is very structured.” He said the academic program is second to none. “They’re also getting the leadership development that takes place within the corps of cadets. It’s real-world, practical experience in leadership,” he said. Dailey said freshmen are known as the knob class because the young men

have to shave their heads.At Concordia, Beal

was active in the JROTC program, and lettered in football and lacrosse. At The Citadel, he plans to major in mechanical engineering and political science. He receives a three-year, Army ROTC scholarship. Upon grad-uation, he will enter the Army as a 2nd lieutenant.

Beal is a son of Army veteran Laura Beal and Navy retiree Craig Beal. His younger brother, Jason, hopes to attend the Naval Academy.

Beal said he welcomes the challenge of The Citadel. “They say it’s

easy to get into The Citadel but it’s hard to stay. They say it’s one of the hardest colleges to stay in, academically,” he said. “I like to do things big and going to The Citadel is a big thing.”

He hopes to become a mechanical engineer. “I owe the Army six years after college, but I plan to retire after 30,” he said.

While the South Caro-lina Corps of Cadets is a widely recognized part of The Citadel, the college also operates non-military degrees and certifica-tion programs through graduate and evening programs.

Two from Ivy Tech earn Hire Our Heroes toolsIvy Tech Northeast auto-

motive technology student Gabriel Davis and graduate Paul Hyde recently selected more than $3,000 each in tools and equipment, as recipients of the Collision Repair Education Founda-tion’s 3M Hire Our Heroes tool grant for 2015. Thir-ty-five winners from across the country chose tools and equipment to help in their education and for employ-ment after graduation.

Since 2013, 3M has part-nered with CREF in support of the collision repair industry and American veterans. 3M has donated $500,000 to be used toward scholarships and tool grants for individuals who served or are currently serving in the military and their family members.

“Our nation’s military veterans deserve every opportunity to get a great start in our industry,” said Dale Ross, U.S. marketing operations manager at 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division.

Davis served in the Indiana Army National Guard for almost eight years before enrolling at Ivy Tech Northeast. “This grant means that there are companies out there that recognize vets are just as hard-working and dedi-cated to what we do as our civilian counterparts,” Davis said.

Hyde, a spring graduate, served in the Army for five years. “My passion for the automotive field is screaming, and the tools that have been put into my hands by this grant will ensure that all of the hard work in getting to this point will be worthwhile,” Hyde said.

Ivy Tech Northeast was one of only two colleges in 2015 to have more than one 3M Hire Our Heroes tool grant recipient.

“When you have more than one individual win, that says a lot about your program,” said Darrel Kesler, dean of Ivy Tech Northeast’s Technology Division.
