Fort Wayne city electionabsentee voting under way

Fort Wayne voters will go to the polls Nov. 3 to elect a mayor, city clerk and the nine members of the City Council.

The polls will be open from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. Voter registration ended Oct. 5. Absentee voting began Oct. 6 and continues through noon Nov. 2. Visit allen-county.us/election-board for polling places and more information on absentee voting.

Democratic Mayor Tom Henry faces a chal-lenge from Republican District 4 Councilman Mitch Harper. In the May primary, Henry received more than 75 percent of the vote to win the nomination to a third term. Harper received almost 84 percent of his party’s vote.

Republican Jason Arp and Democrat Rusty

York are running for that southwest District 4 council seat. Arp won a three-way race for his party’s nomi-nation. York, a former police chief and public safety director, was unopposed.

Seven candidates are seeking the three City Council At-Large seats. They are Republicans Michael Barranda, incumbent John Craw-ford and Thomas Freistroffer, Democrats Terry Anderson, Mike Avila and Michelle Chambers, and Liber-tarian Tabitha Dyck.

In the race for city clerk, candidates are Republican Lana R. Keesling and Democrat Angie (Barile) Davis. Incumbent Sandra E. Kennedy did not seek re-election.

Five other district council seats also are up for election.

In District 1 on the city’s east side, Paul Ensley defeated incum-bent Thomas E. Smith and another candidate for the Republican nomination. Mike Conley represents the Democratic ticket.

In District 2 in northeast Fort Wayne, Republican incumbent Russ Jehl faces Demo-crat Michelle L. Merritt.

In District 3 in northwest Fort Wayne, incumbent Republican Thomas F. Didier is unopposed.

In District 5 in south central Fort Wayne, incumbent Republican Geoff Paddock is unop-posed.

In District 6 in southeast Fort Wayne, Republican Joe Renner faces Democratic incum-bent Glynn A. Hines.

Tower marks century of serviceBy Lucretia [email protected]

Washington Elementary School students displayed jazz hands and sang as they rocked around the clock of the Rotary Club of Fort Wayne’s Centen-nial Tower.

Celebrating 100 years of service above self, the Rotary Club of Fort

Wayne brought members and community leaders together Oct. 2 to witness the ribbon cutting cere-mony for the tower the organization is donating to the city.

Standing 22 feet tall and weighing 3.5 tons, the custom designed tower sits on the plaza of the Allen County Public

Library’s main branch. The tower includes a carillon that was rung for the first time during the ceremony by Rotarian Masson Robertson, who played the Rotary Inter-national theme song.

Three years ago, local Rotarians began discussing how the

Lynn Bishop leads Washington Elementary School students who entertained the crowd at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Rotary Club of Fort Wayne’s Centennial Tower at the main branch of the Allen County Public Library. Visit INFortWayne.com for more photos.

“We’ve been doing this for 25 years because we wanted a fundraiser that would make a lot of money and not have to keep doing fundraisers,” said Barb McCoy,

church communications director. “So a couple of our ladies decided that they would try apple dumplings. The rest is history. We made as many as 3,500 in our heyday. We’re shooting

for 1,300 again this year.”

Vendor tables are still available for the craft bazaar; call McCoy at (260) 637-1842. Tables are $15, with proceeds

Fort Wayne Street Depart-ment crews will make two sweeps of each city neigh-borhood in the annual leaf collection program, which begins Oct. 19.

Crews will begin with the Central area, Oct. 19-23 and again Nov. 9-13. The Central area is generally south of Coliseum Boule-vard and north of Aboite Center Road, Engle Road, Rudisill Boulevard and McKinnie Avenue. Crews

will visit the South area Oct. 26-30 and Nov. 16-20. Service will turn to the North area, Nov. 2-6 and Nov. 30-Dec. 4. For details and a map of the zones, visit cityoffortwayne.org. The week of Nov. 23 will be a catch-up week, if needed.

“This is an important benefit we provide to our neighborhoods. It’s a service that offers convenience, enhances a neighborhood’s appearance, and improves

the quality of life in our community,” Mayor Tom Henry said.

Residents can rake leaves to the curb or park strip in front of their home, making sure they are ready for pickup by 7 a.m. on Monday of their designated week, as leaf collection may occur on any day of that week. Other yard waste should not be mixed with the leaves, and cars should not be parked over the leaves.

Or, residents may place leaves in biodegradable bags at the curb, and call 311 to schedule a pickup. This option allows residents to set their own schedule for pickup. Bagged leaves will be collected within two businesses days of their call to 311.

There will be no leaf collection on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov.11.

Beginning the afternoon of Oct. 19, daily updates of crews’ next-day assign-ments will be available at the website cityoffortwayne.org/leaves. Residents may call the leaf pickup hot line, (260) 427-2302, to get daily updates.

The city asks parents to remind children to not play in leaf piles near the street.

To prevent street flooding, residents should make sure leaves are not near a storm drain and that storm drains are free and clear to handle rain water.

A Congregation Achduth Vesholom event is intended to raise awareness while raising money for the Fort Wayne temple.

The 14th annual Corned Beef on Rye … Sure to Satisfy Fundraiser will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, at Temple CAV, 5200 Old Mill Road.

“It’s the primary fund-raiser for the temple,” fundraiser co-chairman Kris Gray said. “It helps support a lot of activities, primarily for the temple. But there are some events that are open to the public that the temple presents free of charge.” Those events include speakers and other programs.

“But the main thing is we’d like the community to come not only to raise

money for us, but to let the community know that the Jewish community is still active and vibrant in Fort Wayne, and this is one opportunity to sit down and have some corned beef and get to know us,” Gray said.

Each meal costs $15, and includes a one-third-pound corned beef deli sandwich, cole slaw, dill pickle, brownie and drink. Find an order form at templecav.org. Meals can be packed up for carry-out, or guests can sit down in a small cafeteria style area and share in the company during their meals. Walk-ins will be welcomed. “We’ll have plenty of corned beef and we’ll have some bulk items,” Gray said.

Melissa Kessel, Bonnie Pomerantz and Larry Adelman also serve on the fundraiser committee.

“We’ve got a ton of

people. We probably end up with a hundred or so volunteers coming in to the temple to do various things — mailings, preparation of sponsorships. The night before the event is when we actually do most of the laying out and parceling out of the product,” Gray said. Volunteers also cut the brownies on the eve of the luncheon.

“I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a restruc-turing and re-identification of the campus,” Gray said. The temple and grounds now are known as Rifkin Campus at 5200. “Not only are we a temple congre-gation, but the building is also home to the refur-bished Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne. We have a Head Start operation going on during the school year, and the Indiana Historical Society is also headquar-tered in that building.”

“As religious organiza-tions go, we’re not a large entity,” Gray said. “We are aware of our unique place on the south side of Fort Wayne. We have some support from the 46807

ZIP code and they see us as a valuable partner. It’s always nice to have that kind of community support.”

The campus transition takes a major step forward in October, with ground-breaking for the new $1.07 million Madge Rothschild Resource Center and dedication of the Rifkin Campus at 5200 sign. The 3,150-square-foot Roth-schild Center is scheduled to open in the fall of 2016. It will include the Rabbi Richard B. Safran Library and the Jacob L. Goldman Memorial Museum. Plans call for an 1,100-square-foot inner courtyard with a proposed sculpture garden visible from the Resource Center.

The temple traces its roots to 1848 as Indiana’s first Jewish congregation. Learn more about the congregation’s history and programs, its fundraising campaign, and the Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne by visiting templecav.org.

Temple invites community to corned beef and a visit

David Seligman, from left, Steve Zacher and Carol Adelman fill orders at a Congregation Achduth Vesholom corned beef fundraiser. The 2014 event served about 1,200 meals.


Country duo Montgomery Gentry will headline the closing concert of the 10th anniversary O’DZ Jeep Jam. Closing ceremonies begin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Allen County Fair Grounds, 2726 Carroll Road, Fort Wayne. The headliners take the stage at 8:30 p.m.

General admission tickets are $20 each, and are avail-able at odzjeepjam.com.

The annual event benefits Military Families Ministry, a program of Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County.

Off-road checkin begins at 6:30 a.m. at O’Daniel Jeep, 5911 Illinois Road, Fort Wayne. The Patriot Guard escorts a parade from O’Daniel at 8:15, bound for the Blessing of the Jeeps at Speedway Concrete and Aggregate, 400 S. Whitley St., South Whitley, and at Kessie Jeep Farm, 4166 S. Whitley Road, South Whitley.

Montgomery Gentry canceled a Sept. 30 concert in Georgia after the death of Eddie Montgomery’s youngest son, Hunter Montgomery. Montgomery and his duo partner, Troy Gentry, had been scheduled to perform at the North Georgia State Fair in Mari-etta, Ga.

O’DZ Jeep Jam later posted an update on the website.

“We were just notified that Eddie Montgomery would like to proceed with the O’DZ Jeep Jam fund-raiser for Military families. Eddie and Troy’s devotion is truly astounding. ‘We get to dream as big as we want to, be anything we want to be and enjoy the freedoms we all enjoy because of our military, and we never, ever forget that,’ Eddie Mont-gomery says. ‘Troy Gentry and I support these men and women every chance we get.’

“We are humbled by

their devotion during every parent’s worst nightmare.

“To express our gratitude and support their devotion to Military Families, O’Daniel Automotive Group would like to fulfill Eddie’s request to support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in honor of Hunter Gentry.”

The Jeep Jam website promised details will be posted soon. The day’s activities will include off-roading courses, a car show, kids’ games and the Bigfoot Car Crusher. At the Allen Country Fairgrounds, attendees can participate in family fun activities and attend the “After Party for a Cause,” featuring Mont-gomery Gentry. The event will end with a fireworks display by Camtor Pyro-technics. For a full schedule of events, visit odzjeepjam.com/2015-schedule-of-events.

“The Jeep Jam has grown into an amazing community of support and generosity,” said Greg O’Daniel, general manager of O’Daniel Automotive Group. “When Jeep Jam started 10 years ago, it was a small evening gathering of maybe 75 customers. Jeep Jam 10 is poised to be the largest, most successful philanthropy project in our company’s history. With the help of our event sponsors, Jeep Jam will support the Associated Churches Military Fund in a big way.”

Working with the National Guard and Northeast Indiana Mili-tary Assistance Network, Military Families Ministry assists those with loved ones deployed, as well as provides emergency housing, reintegration assis-tance, job placement and general advocacy.

Schools and teachers OKpact for this school yearFort Wayne Commu-

nity Schools and the Fort Wayne Education Asso-ciation have agreed on a two-year contract that compensates teachers for education and years of experience and continues the payment of stipends through the federal Teacher Incentive Fund grant.

A tentative agree-ment was reached Sept. 9. Teachers ratified the agreement, and the School Board approved the agree-ment Sept. 29.

The new contract covers only wages and wage-re-lated benefits as stipulated by state law. The law also limits wage increases to teachers evaluated as effective or highly effec-tive. FWCS is still in the process of finalizing teacher evaluations for 2014-15 as state data is not yet available.

Under the new contract for 2015-16, eligible teachers who are currently paid below the average for teachers with equal education and years of experience will be brought up to the average. Eligible teachers who are at or above the average will receive a 1 percent salary increase. In 2016-

17, eligible teachers will receive an additional 1 percent salary increase. The starting salary for teachers remains at $37,000 for teachers with a bachelor’s degree and $41,000 for teachers with a master’s degree.

In addition, because of

the TIF grant, effective and highly effective teachers will continue to be eligible for stipends beyond their base pay. For each year, effective teachers will receive a $2,000 stipend; highly effective teachers will receive a $2,500 stipend.

Wild Zoo Halloween has family-friendly excitement

Kids and families are invited to experience the Fort Wayne Chil-dren’s Zoo’s Wild Zoo Halloween. Hours are Oct. 16-18, 22-25 and 29-31, from noon-6 p.m., with last admission at 5 p.m.

Admission to the Wild Zoo Halloween presented by Star Financial Bank is $5 for all ages; admis-sion with treats is $9 for all ages. Zoo members receive $2 off admission.

Guests can trick-or-treat for candy at the Treat Trails, view zoo animals, meet Broom-

hilda the friendly witch, visit the Beauty Shop of Horrors, see giant-sized pumpkins, and more. Children can choose their own mini-pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch. Kids are encouraged to wear costumes. Animal sculptures made out of pumpkins are always a guest favorite. Train riders will hear “Tale of the Twisted Tree” as they venture into the Franke Park woods.

The zoo remains open for the regular season through Oct. 11 and re-opens for the Wild Zoo Halloween on Oct. 16.

In addition to the Indo-nesian Rain Forest, the Central Zoo, portions of the Australian Adven-ture, and portions of the African Journey will be open during the event.

The Wild Zoo Halloween presented by Star Financial Bank

is a fundraiser for the zoo, which is a nonprofi t organization receiving no tax funding for oper-ations.

New for 2015, the Wild Zoo Halloween path is rerouted to pass through the Indonesian Rain Forest, where guests can see Asmara the baby Sumatran orangutan before the zoo closes for the winter. Asmara was born Nov. 22, 2014. Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered in the wild. In support of orangutan conservation, all treats at the Wild Zoo Halloween are palm-oil free or are manufactured by compa-nies that are members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The sustainable produc-tion of palm oil is considered crucial to the survival of orangutans, because their rain forest habitat is often destroyed to create poorly managed and unsustainable palm oil plantations.

club should celebrate its centennial birthday. The Centennial Tower was the “lasting legacy project that emerged,” club president Jason Daenens said.

In addition to the tower, the club undertook a local service project, installing 100 Little Free Libraries, as well as an international service project, building a middle school in Africa.

Karen Wentz, a director with Rotary International, emphasized the benefit the local club has been for the Fort Wayne community.

“This will be a reminder that Rotary truly is about service above self,” Wentz said of the tower.

Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry read a proc-lamation during the ceremony, commemo-

rating the day as Rotary Club of Fort Wayne celebrating 100 years of service day.

“They have stepped up and said, ‘We want to make Fort Wayne all that it can be,’” Henry said.

The third- and fourth-grade students of Washington Elementary School, led by director Lynn Bishop, entertained the crowd with songs such as “Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne,” to the tune of “New York, New York,” and “Rock Around the Clock.”

The Rotary Club of Fort Wayne adopted the school several years ago and provides mentors, supplies and tutors to the students there.

Flat tax rate proposed for 2016 FWCS budgetFor the second year in

a row, taxpayers should expect the tax rate for Fort Wayne Community Schools to remain flat, according to the 2016 budget reviewed by the School Board on Sept. 29.

A public hearing on the proposed 2016 budget will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12, in the Grile Admin-istrative Center, 1200 S. Clinton St. Board members

will vote on the plan at the Oct. 26 meeting.

The $284 million plan is just less than 1 percent more than the 2015 budget. The budget continues to present long-term financial chal-lenges for FWCS, which remains one of the largest school districts in the state. After reducing the trans-portation expenses by $2.6 million this year, the fund is stabilized and no additional

transportation reductions are necessary. In a statement, the school district explained that because of changes in state funding and enroll-ment declines, reductions in the General Fund may be necessary in the future.

“We always look at least five years out when planning our budget, and if the most recent trends continue, we may have to look at budget reductions,”

Chief Financial Officer Kathy Friend said. “While recent changes in the state funding formula weren’t as detrimental as originally proposed, the money we receive from the state will be essentially flat over the next two years.”

FWCS remains among the highest in the state in terms of funneling dollars into the classroom. During the 2012-13 school year, the

most recent year for which data is available, FWCS spent 67.4 percent of its budget in the classroom, compared with the state average of 57.5 percent.

“Our goal is always to ensure the maximum amount of dollars goes into the classroom,” Friend said. “We are here to serve students, and we work hard to make sure they have the resources, support and

opportunities they need and deserve to become produc-tive, responsible citizens.”

Money available for the Capital Projects Fund also continues to decline. As the projects approved by voters in the 2012 referendum wrap up, FWCS is starting work on a referendum for the May 2016 ballot. Project details will be deter-mined over the next few months.

‘Halloween Spooktacular’welcomes ghosts, witchesSpooky ghosts,

vampires and witches will haunt the Rhinehart Music Center on the IPFW Campus on Sunday, Oct. 25. But there is no need to fear because The Phil encourages everyone to dress up for “Halloween Spooktacular.” This family friendly show will begin at 2 p.m., preconcert activities starting at 1 p.m. Fort Wayne Philharmonic Assistant Director Chia-Hsuan Lin will direct the concert.

Admission is $13 for adults, $7 for children 18 and under.

A favorite for many families during the Halloween season, “Spooktacular” is a family friendly show in content and length programmed to engage patrons in the

joys of classical music. The musical selections will include selections from Stravinsky’s “Fire-bird Suite,” Berlioz’s “Symphonie Fantastique,” Greig’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King” from “Peer Gynt” and much more.

Activities will be available for children to enjoy one hour prior to the concert. The Philhar-monic Friends will have an Instrument Playground encouraging children to explore musical instru-ments firsthand. Face painting and an appear-ance by Harry Potter will be provided by TAG Art. Other activities such as coloring and crafts stations will also be available.

Subscriptions are still available for purchase. Benefits include saving more than 20 percent over the price of Family Series single tickets, 10 percent savings on additional

single ticket purchases including Masterworks, Pops and Freimann performances and the flexibility of free ticket exchanges.

Kids admission (18 and under) is $7 and adult admission is $13. Tickets may be purchased at The Phil Box Office at 4901 Fuller Drive, Fort Wayne, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday, or Saturday (Masterworks and Pops concert days only) from noon-4 p.m., or by calling (260) 481-0777. To buy tickets online or to find full program and series information, visit fwphil.org. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the Rhinehart Music Center box office two hours prior to the concert.

Now performing its 72th season, The Phil is led by Music Director Andrew Constantine.

Mitchell joins KPC Media Group as CEOKPC Media Group

Inc. President Terry G. Housholder has announced that Randy C. Mitchell has joined the northeast Indiana media company as CEO.

Mitchell has three decades of experience in newspaper manage-ment and most recently as a group publisher at GateHouse Media Inc. in Newton, Kansas.

“Randy is a solid newspaperman with wide experience and enthusiasm for our industry,” Hous-holder said. “He knows Indiana, having been a newspaper publisher in Wabash and Peru, and will fit well into our commu-nities here in northeast Indiana. He has the skills we need to continue to grow our operations and better serve our customers.”

Mitchell began his role as CEO on Sept. 21,

replacing Terry R. Ward, who took a group publish-er’s position with Sound Publishing in Washington state.

“I am so pleased to join KPC Media Group,” Mitchell said. “I was drawn to the company by its strong commitment to the communities it serves in northeast Indiana, which is evident in its award-win-ning news coverage, strong digital products, commu-nity outreach and business partnerships. When you find a media company with the kind of steady growth KPC has experienced, you know they are progressive which takes solid strategic visioning and a willing-ness to try new things. That’s what excites me most.”

KPC Media Group owns 22 publications, including Times Community Publi-cations and Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly.

Randy Mitchell joined KPC Media Group on Sept. 21. He most recently worked in Newton, Kansas, and previously was publisher of newspapers in Peru and Wabash, Ind.

president of the United Methodist Women, said everyone pitches in to make the apple dump-lings. “For about the last six weeks every Sunday I remind them that it’s coming and we need everyone. It’s actually a fun time because there’s a lot of fellowship,” she said.

“We have people that

can’t go in the kitchen and stand up and work, but they can sit at a table and cut apples,” she said.

The church welcomed a new pastor, the Rev. Kathie Jones, on Oct. 3. She and husband Harold Jones were guests at a reception luncheon. “Pastor Kathie’s husband is a cook, so we’ve already informed him that we’ll need him for a three-day project,” McCoy said.

The volunteers begin

baking the dumplings on Wednesday and continue cutting, baking and packing through Friday. “We bribe them with a lunch at noon,” McCoy said.

The church estimates that the project has sold more than 50,000 apple dumplings. Visit fpumc.com for a video of the process.

“They’re the best in town,” McCoy said.

The UMC Women will direct its proceeds to the Missions Fund.

FALL FESTIVALS

Blood drive in honorof local mother of 13

An American Red Cross blood drive Oct. 17 is in honor of a local mother of 13 who needed blood during two of her pregnancies.

The drive will be held from 9 a.m until 3 p.m. at Scout Park Conference Center, 2300 Meyer Road, Fort Wayne. In a statement, the Red Cross said the blood drive is in honor of Sarah Tippmann and all mothers and families.

While delivering her seventh child, Tippmann suffered a hemorrhage that required surgery and eight units of blood. Mother and baby recov-ered and Tippmann went on to have six more chil-dren. However, her last delivery was even more challenging.

At about five months into her pregnancy, she was diagnosed with a rare complication,

placenta accreta. By 30 weeks, the placenta had grown through the uterus into the bladder, causing damage. A few weeks later, just as she was leaving her doctor’s office, Tippmann began bleeding heavily.

A medical team immediately took her to an operating room where she underwent an emergency C-section, a hysterectomy and bladder surgery. She was transfused with 24 units of blood.

Days later, Tippmann said, she met the newest love of her life, Andrew. The newborn spent three weeks in neonatal intensive care while the mother underwent a second surgery and two more weeks in the hospital. “I am forever thankful to generous volunteer donors for their gift of lifesaving blood,” Tippmann said.

“God gave me two lives that day, Andrew’s and mine,” she said. “Our 13 children still had a mother, my husband still has his wife and I get to enjoy the beauty of watching them grow and love. This was only possible through those individ-uals who donated blood. I can never thank them enough.”

Jay and Sarah Tippmann and family encourage anyone who can to give blood in honor of all mothers and families. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative.

To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appoint-ment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcross-blood.org or call (800) 733-2767.

Huntertown Park to hold Family Fun Day Oct. 24Huntertown’s first

Family Fun Day will take place from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24. The celebra-tion is part of the grand opening celebration of the Huntertown Family Park, at the corner of Woods Road and Old Lima Road in downtown Huntertown.

“We are gearing up for a big day. We are going to have a lot of things to do,” said Dan Holmes, Friends of Huntertown Parks Inc. president.

Planned events include historical tours of Hunt-ertown on horse-drawn carriages, face painting, sidewalk chalk drawing and balloon animals among other children’s activities, a yoga demon-stration, a pumpkin toss, a corn-hole tournament,

a visit from Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehab, a vintage car drive-in, and displays from the Hunt-ertown Fire Department. Other details will be posted at huntertownfa-milypark.com.

The Miss Huntertown Pageant will kick off the festivities at 10 a.m.

Holmes said parking for the event is available at Riverside Manufac-turing and Precision Laser Services, located adjacent to the park on Old Lima Road. A shuttle service will be available to transport guests back and forth and an officer will be on site to help walkers across the street, Holmes said.

Food and craft vendors will also be on site. For information on getting a booth for the

event, email [email protected].

Holmes also said the committee is working on a photo booth for families to have pictures taken with a fall theme.

Phase one of the park project is complete and includes trails through the woods, a 1.5-mile walking path, a dog park, a small play-ground, horseshoe pits, a ga ga pit, two pavilions, picnic areas with gas grills and an amphithe-ater and stage which doubles on the back as a sledding hill.

Plans for the park include restrooms, softball diamond, sand volleyball court, splash pad, ice skating rink/basketball court, veterans memorial and a Historic Society building.

4th Trail Blazer Oct. 18; about 1,000 to run, walkOrganizers have set a

goal of 1,000 runners for the fourth annual Trail Blazer 5K/10K, which begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18, at Summit Middle School, 4509 Homestead Road, Fort Wayne.

The event raises money to connect more trails.

“Events like the Trail Blazer are a critical part of expanding the trails,” said Lori Rose, Fort Wayne Trails’ executive director. “As we work with the City of Fort Wayne and Allen County to extend our region’s trails throughout our community, it takes an army of supporters to

continue the progress. We are so grateful to all the Trail Blazer volunteers and participants who raise funds every year to keep the trails moving forward, so that thousands more people can safely travel to arts and cultural desti-nations, schools, retail areas, downtown, and neighboring communities in the future. The more funds we raise, the more trails we can build and connect in every quad-rant. “

Currently, 85 miles have been constructed. With successful fund-raising over the next five years, Fort Wayne Trails Inc. aims to help connect

over 100 miles to fill crit-ical gaps in the current trail network.

The first 900 Trail Blazer participants will receive an Under Armour racing shirt and goody bag, and, prizes will be given to top place finishers in each age group. Teams are also being accepted this year and will receive even more perks. A Kids’ 1 Mile Fun Run will take place on the Summit Middle School track and will be supervised by Fort Wayne Trails volunteers.

Details and registra-tion information can be found at fwtrails.org. This year’s title sponsor is

Lutheran Hospital.Participation in special

events such as the Trail Blazer 5K/10K and individual donations have helped to build the trail system to over 85 miles, connecting neigh-borhoods to schools, parks and other desti-nations. There are still gaps in the system, and several upcoming proj-ects are scheduled to be completed by the City of Fort Wayne, Allen County and Fort Wayne Trails in and near the Trail Blazer race route. These all have the funding in place, and are in some stage of planning or construction.

Fort Wayne Trails fundraisers target gaps in the city’s 85-mile network of trails.

Sweetwater’s jobs total may reach 1,000 in 2018

Sweetwater Sound Inc. will physically grow again as employment at the Fort Wayne-based company could break the 1,000 mark in about three years.

The musical instruments and audio equipment retailer plans to invest $8.8 million over a period of years on expansions, the Indiana Economic Development Corp. said in a statement.

The projects include work to build a 16,000-square-foot addi-tion to the headquarters on U.S. 30.

The new facility will move the company’s marketing department from a nearby annex and place it with the merchan-

dising department.“The plan all along has

been to reintegrate that department and combine it with merchandising,” said Christopher Guerin, Sweetwater’s corporate communications vice president.

That expansion is also expected to establish a new video studio to help enhance sales and branding initiatives.

Up to 285 new jobs are expected to be created as a result, which would push full-time employment up to 1,000 by the end of 2018.

“Sweetwater continues to grow at a remarkable pace,” Chuck Surack, the company’s president and

founder, said in the state-ment. “In 2014, sales were up by 28 percent over the previous year, and we anticipate similar results for 2015.”

Construction on the addition should begin this autumn.

The IEDC offered the business $2 million in tax credits and $50,000 in training grants.

Sweetwater’s new project follows the company’s renovation of its music store earlier this year, as well as a 132,000-square-foot expansion that built a new warehouse, a conference hall, more music class-rooms and a larger sales department in 2014.

WorkOne’s Billingsley is honoredFrankie Billingsley of

the WorkOne Northeast career center in Allen County was recognized by the American Legion recently as the nation’s top local veterans employment representa-tive.

The award was presented by the Legion’s National Veterans Employment & Educa-tion Commission during ceremonies in Baltimore.

Billingsley, a U.S. Air Force veteran who has worked at WorkOne for 16 years, was honored for his dedication to helping veterans throughout northeast Indiana find employment. He has worked to develop relationships between employers and veterans that lead to employ-ment, and is the chief organizer of an annual Veterans 1st Hiring

Event in collaboration with state Rep. Martin Carbaugh and financial supporters.

WorkOne Northeast’s Allen County career center also recently received the Large Employment Service Office Award from Indiana’s American Legion for staff efforts to provide a variety of support services to veterans.

Glimpse nature the way Danielle Rosas sees it in this exhibit of canvas print photography. Inspired by Ansel Adams to appreciate the fine detail of natural life, Rosas has always been intrigued by the “sim-ple” things in life. She loves to capture raw moments that seem meek at first glance but reveal more layers of thought as you look deeper. Occa-sionally she may alter the lens or angle to give a sense of abstraction to her work. Rosas prints on canvas for the depth and texture it gives the subject. The Conservatory’s bi-monthly art exhibits are open to view in the meeting room during public hours. Visit botanicalconservatory.org for links to artists. Regular Conservatory admission applies.• Discovery Corner: Spiders. During October public hours in the Dis-covery Gallery. Our youngest visitors are always welcome to visit the Discovery Corner behind Woody the Talking Tree where they’ll find activities relating to a monthly theme.
