Big Orange Pride hosting 13 bands at invitational
The Big Orange Pride Invitational is back.
Northrop High School will serve as host to 13 other bands beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25. The Pride will perform at 5:48 p.m., to be followed by the closing awards.
Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and children. Northrop High School is at 7001 Cold-water Road.
Second-year band director John VanPatten worked to reinstate the festival.
“They haven’t done an invitational here in about four years,” VanPatten said. “So it’s kind of coming back to us. It’s a big task but we have a few parents who are helping us out.” That list includes parents of current Northrop band
members and former band parents.
Anyone else interested in volunteering may apply through the band’s Facebook page, Northrop Big Orange Pride.
The band found finan-cial backing, too. Among
those supporters is local restaurateur Jeff Sebieka, who is funding five

Carroll students find satisfaction in serving
The word “community” takes on a broad meaning each Thursday evening at Alders-gate United Methodist Church.
The free, 6 p.m. meal welcomes everyone. Volunteers from outside the church join with cooks and servers from within the church. Student supervisors belong to Aldersgate or to churches across the county; they attend Carroll High School, or nearby Homestead High School, or Fort Wayne Community Schools, or Canterbury High School.
Guests come from across Getz Road and from across county lines. They come for a meal, and they come for the company.
Some of those who are being served choose instead to serve others, said the Rev. Derek Weber, the lead pastor of the congre-gation just north of Time Corners.
“It’s creating a sense of belonging,” said Weber, who last month completed his seventh year at Aldersgate. “Some of the people who are very faithful about serving are not here on Sunday, but they feel a part of the church.”
“We have young people and adults who serve as volunteers, and many of them are church people and many of them are folks who’ve heard of the dinner,” Weber said.

‘Algernon’ taps Northrop’s talent
Caleb Curtis and Cory Gialamas walked beneath the lights, to the edge of the Northrop High School stage. There, they became Charlie Gordon and Charlie Gordon.
The audience may witness that transformation Nov. 13 and 14, when the Northrop Bruin Theatre presents “Flowers for Algernon.” The play begins at 7 p.m. each evening. Admission is $5.
Gialamas plays teenage
Charlie. “It’s really inter-esting to see how I am apparently in the future, even though I’m intellectu-ally lower than him,” said the Northrop junior. “It’s pretty mind-blowing how fast everything can change from one time to another.”
Cast member Curtis is a senior. “I play adult Charlie Gordon, and I love him,” Curtis said. “He’s a great character. He’s taught me
a lot about being grateful for what you have, because when you play someone like him and you realize that he’s at such a low mental capacity, you start to appreciate what you have and what other people

don’t. And I love that.”Gialamas, who plays the
teenage Charlie, said the Charlie of the future will face a rude awakening. “He wants to be smart, and he realizes that everyone isn’t as sweet and nice as he thought they were,” he said. “So it’s kind of waking up from a dream.”
Curtis’ tearful elder Charlie grows nauseous as the younger Charlie reaches out to him.
“It’s such a beautiful story about a man who all he wants is to please others and to be smart and to be able to have that connection with people,” Curtis later explained. “And through no particular fault of his own, his want destroys him. I think of him as a tragic hero in a sense because he did nothing wrong, but his dream is ultimately his downfall.”
Melissa Kizer, a junior,
portrays one of the 27 named char-acters in Northrop’s “Algernon.” As Jackie Welberg,
she controls funding for a pivotal project. Kizer’s character remarks that handling the project differently would have brought credit to her foun-dation, “and adult Charlie just screams at me and everyone slowly stops talking,” Kizer said. “I think it really shows that I’m all about the founda-tion — nothing else.”
Curtis will mark his 10th production at Northrop, and said he plans to be part of the spring musical again. He has applied to both Indiana University and to Juilliard.
Northrop drama director Tim Miller said Curtis is an outstanding actor. Though he does not cast the parts before the audition, Miller
said he chose the play “Flowers for Algernon” in part because it has a need for such a strong male lead. “I was looking at a wide variety of plays, and I have a very, very strong lead actor and I wanted to show what he can do,” Miller said.
Miller said he chooses fall productions that students have studied in their literature classes. “That’s part of our mission here,” he said. “We try to bring to life something they’ve read.”
News of the death of “Algernon” author Daniel Keyes brought the play to the forefront of Miller’s options. The choice of a play led to still more diffi-cult choices.
“We went through a week of auditions, and had well over 120 kids audition for 27 roles,” Miller said. “And auditioning is a part of my job that I do not like, because you’re going to hurt somebody’s feelings.”
Miller chose 34 students for the named cast and the party guests and concert-goers.
Miller first walked the Northrop stage as a student. He worked onstage and backstage on “Hello Dolly,” “Arsenic and Old Lace” and other produc-tions. He graduated in 1977, and enrolled in the University of Wyoming. “I thought I wanted to live in the Rocky Mountains until
I got snowed in on Mothers Day,” he said. He brought his two-year degree back to IPFW, worked in other local schools and returned to Northrop in 2002.
He still gets some direction from his own high school director, Del Proctor, who was the first theater teacher at Northrop in 1971.
“I had the good fortune to come back and take over for him,” Miller said. “He comes to see the shows and I talk to him. I respect him tremendously, and I pick his brain.”
Miller’s eldest daughter, Kia Miller, teaches and assists him at Northrop and directs at Bishop Dwenger High School. She also works with Fort Wayne Summer Music Theatre, whose cast members up to age 20 stage productions at IPFW.
“We have record numbers in the program this year,” said Miller of Northrop, adding that the school also has record enrollment.
In addition to the two public performances, the Northrop Bruin Theatre will present a show for the middle school.
Theater is “alive and thriving” at Northrop, Miller said.

“It’s an amazing event and I’m glad it’s back,” Sebieka said. “It was one of the premier band events in the area.”
Sebieka, who was in the band in the early 1980s, also supported this year’s band by donating a 30-ft. Subway sandwich before the band’s trip to the Mishawaka Penn Invita-tional on Sept. 27.
VanPatten said band enrollment is up about 10 from last season, and he looks forward to further increase. The band and guard total 90 members.
The 2014 show is titled “unRAVELed.”
“It’s kind of a play on words,” said VanPatten, explaining that the show features music of Maurice Ravel. “We start out big and over the course of the show we kind of unravel everything,” he said. Guard uniforms adapt to the show, including removing one sleeve.
“We gave them a tough show and the kids are doing pretty well with it,” VanPatten said.
Northrop closed its competition season at the Indiana State School Music Association Open Class regionals Oct. 18.
Top Open Class bands advance to the semi-states on Nov. 1, and the state finals on Nov. 8. Those band have Oct. 25 free for practice or invitationals, such as Northrop’s.
VanPatten said he is pleased with the lineup for the invitational.
Scholastic Class bands compete at the state level on Oct. 25, but VanPatten invited any bands that did not advance to the state to join the Northrop festival.

Stuff-A-Bus drive set Nov. 3-5The Stuff-A-Bus holiday
food drive will be held Nov. 3, 4 and 5.
“This is the 19th year for the Stuff-A-Bus campaign,” said Chris Diddier, program manager at WLDE radio, which sponsors the campaign. The public donates nonper-ishable food items for the Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County food banks, and medicine cabinet items for the Franciscan Center.
The drive averages about 9,000 to 10,000 pounds of donations each year.
“We’re working around people’s schedules. With the holiday rush, we’re going to see if we can catch people at a time
when they can donate,” Diddier said of the earlier campaign dates.
Once again, drop-off points will be set up at three shopping areas. The flagship operation will be at Georgetown Square on East State Boulevard. Buses also will be set up at Connolly’s Do It Best Hardware at 515 E. Dupont Road at Coldwater Road, and at Midwest American Federal Credit Union at 6005 Bluffton Road in Waynedale. Drop-off hours will be 5:30 a.m.-7 p.m. People may drop off food after those hours, too, in barrels set up beside the buses.
Typical toiletry item donations include toilet
paper, diapers and hygiene products, toothpaste, shaving cream, and deter-gent and first aid items.
WLPE Fun 101.7 will broadcast live from each of the locations at various times over the three days. The primary location will be at Georgetown.
Anyone who would like to volunteer to help can sign up at fun1017.com.
“It really makes you feel good inside, because you’re trying to make a difference in helping those in need,” Diddier said. “I think it makes other people who are donating feel good inside, like they’re making a differ-ence in the community and helping others.”
Candy buy-back announcedAngela Becker Ortho-
dontics is sponsoring a Halloween Candy Buy-Back at both offices. Hours are Monday, Nov. 3, 8 a.m.-7 p.m., and Nov. 4, 5 and 6 from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Those bringing in their candy will be paid $1 per
pound, with a 10-pound limit. Becker also will match $1 per pound to the trick-or-treater’s school. The candy collected will then be donated to Opera-tion Gratitude, as a treat to the troops.
Angela Becker Ortho-
dontics is located in Fort Wayne at 4638 W. Jefferson Blvd in Profes-sional Park West, just west of Jefferson Pointe shopping center. The Huntington location is 2818 Theater Ave., behind the Huntington 7 Theaters.

“People are looking for ways to come and serve the community, and this is very hands-on, meet people face to face and serve them.”
Volunteers need not make a longtime commit-ment, he said. “It’s an effective means of meeting that service need.”
“And we also have members of other churches. Some of the neighboring churches will send a dele-gation,” Weber said.
Maddie Weber, the pastor’s daughter, was one of the first student leaders when the church began offering the meals in January 2011. She went on to graduate from Homestead, and is now a sophomore at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio.
“… I started helping with the dinners when it first began and was on a plan-ning committee, went on the serving team and then was one of the supervi-sors,” she said. “One of my favorite parts of the dinners is being able to form rela-tionships with the people who come. It’s really amazing to give back to the community by serving a meal and also by building relationships and forming connections with them. It’s really nice seeing people from my church and other people from the community so willing to serve and help others.”
Maddie Weber was on hand to help serve some of the recent meals.
So was Jared Thompson, who is credited with being the first person to suggest the dinners, in 2011. Thompson graduated from Carroll High School. He joined the dinners on two recent Thursdays before returning for his junior year at Indiana University in Bloomington.
“Our church had done a lot of programs for people all across the country and even going internationally with our trip to Ecuador,” he said after one of those dinners. “But I felt we were really lacking the connec-tion to the community immediately surrounding us.”
Thompson started the conversation, which has kept growing for four years. “I met with some people here at the church as well as some people with Gethsemane [Lutheran Church] and a couple other similar programs, and then by that fall we had a team together that was working on making it a reality, and then by January 20th, 2011, we were serving our first meal,” he said.
The church studied the question thoroughly before taking on the dinner, Thompson said.
“We wanted to make sure before we started, before we got off the ground, that we had about six months worth of finances available to us,” Thompson said. “We were
able to do that through some fundraising efforts. We even had a practice meal for everyone in the church as a fundraiser that brought in a good deal of money. But since then we’ve seen continued support from the church community, and the community around us, and we are in very stable finan-cial condition.”
Carroll senior Stephanie Wolfe is among the rota-tion of teens who serve as dining room coordinators. The students welcome the diners and offer prayer. Wolfe and other Carroll students became familiar with the meals via Thompson and the school speech and debate program.
She also has her own home church, Wallen Baptist Church, 10 miles from Aldersgate.
“I love the community outreach,” she said, “and
especially it being at a church, not only are we feeding them physically — we are meeting that need — but also spiritu-ally, and providing a sense of community for these people. Some of them are regulars every week.
“I feel that the relation-ships we are able to build with these people and also helping them to grow spir-itually in their relationship with Christ, that’s really important to me.”
“Quite a few of our mainstay volunteers that have stepped up into lead-ership are kids who did not go to church here and go to Carroll and are younger than Jared was when he was involved,” said Jennifer Thompson, Jared’s mother. “And our adult leaders are just amazed. We have home-grown church kids here who are helping, too. I think what
they find out is they enjoy serving these people, and they see how kind and thoughtful and appreciative they are.”
About 25 volunteers report each week to cook and serve the meal. Cooks arrive as early as necessary, and servers arrive at about 5:30.
The result is a quality meal, Thompson said. “Some of our cooks even cook completely from scratch,” he said. “It’s pretty incredible.”
Everyone is welcome. “We don’t check anything. We don’t have any kind of requirements to be a guest here,” Thompson said. “It’s about coming, enjoying
your time. We have servers here who actually come and serve the people. It’s not a soup kitchen; you don’t come here and go through a line and get your meal plopped onto your plate and then go and sit down. It’s truly a commu-nity here. We serve them as they would get served if they were going out to dinner with their family at a restaurant.”
Anyone interested in volunteering may call David Carter, Aldersgate’s director of volunteers, at 432-1524.
Recent dinners have served about 120 guests.
“It is a way for us to spread the word of Christ
and spread the good news just through our actions,” said Wolfe, the Carroll senior. “I think most of our volunteers are very good about not pressing it on the people, but everyone is willing to engage in conversation if someone is interested.”
“I see it as something that’s very important in my life, and I don’t try to hide it,” she said.

KPC Media acquires three weekly papersRobert L. Allman,
president of All Printing & Publications, which publishes the Albion New Era, the Churubusco News and the Northwest News in Huntertown, announced the sale of his business to family-owned KPC Media Group Inc., based in Kendallville.
“The acquisition of All Printing & Publications by KPC will guarantee the continuation of our hometown newspapers, the Albion New Era, the Churubusco News, and the Northwest News,” Allman said. “KPC has a fine reputation for quality jour-nalism, which is recognized around the state.”
“We are very pleased to be associated with the communities of Albion, Churubusco and Hunter-town in an expanded way,” said Terry G. Housholder,
president and publisher of KPC Media Group Inc. “Each has a rich history of journalism. We will continue that tradition, further reaching out to readers and advertisers in Albion, Churubusco, Hunt-ertown and the surrounding area.”
“Bob Allman has built a solid company that serves the communities well,” Housholder said. “We are pleased he will be joining KPC in his same capacity as publisher over the three weekly newspapers and the printing operation.”
“KPC Media already reaches the single largest audience of any media company in northeast Indiana,” said Terry R. Ward, COO of KPC. “By adding these three estab-lished weekly publications with deep roots in their respective communities
along with the printing operation, we continue to signal our commitment to northeast Indiana through a sustained period of growth. We take very seriously the story-telling tradition we are assuming and look forward to our expanded and enhanced coverage of these communities.”
KPC Media was founded in 1911 when the owners of Kendallville’s two daily newspapers merged to form the Kendallville Publishing Co. The firm’s name became KPC in 2005 to reflect the compa-ny’s expanded geographic market and additional prod-ucts and services. George O. Witwer, who came to Kendallville in 1962 and purchased the company in 1969, is still the principal owner.
KPC publishes the daily newspapers based in Kend-
allville, Auburn and Angola, and weekly newspapers in Garrett, Butler and Ligo-nier. In addition, KPC owns the Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly, the Times Community Publications, the Smart Shopper, along with phone books and real estate guides in northeast Indiana. The company also has various web sites, commercial printing and direct-mail divisions and offers expanded digital services through Keyflow Creative.
The Albion New Era was founded in 1872 by Samuel E. Alvord, a native of Pennsylvania, who came to Noble County in 1849. He was a school teacher, lawyer, county clerk and journalist. The newspaper was sold to Jacob P. Prickett on Jan. 1, 1876. In 1896, the New Era was sold to J. E. Buchanan and
then to Edwin L. Adair in 1903. Adair, an educator and former superintendent of Noble County schools, was the father of U.S. Rep. E. Ross Adair, who served northeast Indiana in Congress from 1951-1971. Richard C. Prickett, who was the longtime chief legislative aide to Congressman Adair, was owner and publisher of the New Era from 1940 until his death in 1978. Robert L. Allman took ownership of the company on Feb. 1,
1978.The Churubusco News
was established by Allman in August 1992. Among the other Churubusco newspa-pers that previously existed were the Tri-County Truth (1891-1990), the Busco Paper (1914-1936) and the Churubusco Weekly Herald (1881-1882).
The Northwest News, serving the Huntertown, Arcola, Dupont and White Swan communities, was founded by Allman in August 1997.

The Haunted Cave took a real cave-cleaning. Now it’s the Hysterium Haunted Asylum.
Brett Molitor bought the attraction just before the 2013 Halloween season. “We opened with the crew that was there,” he said. And he finished the season in keeping with The Haunted Cave’s 15-year run.
“After the season was over we evaluated what we had, and the season, and we decided that we needed to let Cave fade away and rebrand it with the Haunted Hysterium,” he said.
“It had started out totally a cave theme and over the years they put some different rooms in,” he said. “But we’ve gone through and changed every room but one and one hall.”
“Dumpster after dump-ster went out the door, and we brought in some new stuff,” he said.
The Hysterium Haunted Asylum is at 4410 Arden Drive, just off Engle Road. Hours are Thurs-days and Sundays from 7-9:30 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays from 7 p.m. till midnight. The season ends Nov. 1.
General admission is $12. A VIP/Fast Pass is $20. Buy tickets at hyste-rium.com.
“It looks like a doctor’s office or hospital waiting room and that’s where people start their adven-ture,” Molitor said. “The medical staff and patients are interacting with them in the lobby setting.”
Guests meet insane inmates and experience a series of nightmares, he said.
“There is some gore
involved,” he said. “We recommend ages 10 and above. The actors are trained to scare, and they’re trained to follow the story line.”
Molitor will reduce the fright factor for kids for one night only — from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29. “We will have trunk or treat in the parking lot,” he said. “We will have a costume contest, and they can walk through the Hysterium with the lights on. We’ll let them do that.”
And then the Hysterium opens to adults for the rest of the evening, from 7-9:30 p.m.
Hysterium art director Tom Scheer worked down to the wire, replacing webbing and adding other special effects on the eve of the venue’s debut. A veteran of five years at The Haunted Cave, Scheer learned his craft working in the convention industry.
In a quick tour through the winding halls, Scheer pointed out the many changes to the attraction. “It’s amazing what you can do with wood stain,” he said of the “blood” spatters across the walls and floors.
“I’ve gotten away from the old-school haunted houses,” he said. “We’ve added detail and added light. We want to show off what we’ve done.”
The moving room still moves, but Scheer said even familiar visitors should expect the unex-pected.
Tastes change, and so do attractions, owner Molitor said. And parts of the Hysterium will get yet another look next year.
Molitor knows some-thing about trends, and about Halloween. He has managed the Haunted Hotel in Huntington
since 2003, and bought the business in 2006. The Huntington Jaycees started the Haunted Hotel in 1968.
The attraction occu-pies the 13th floor of an old apartment building, he said. “It took on the Haunted Hotel name in 1999 because general haunted houses started changing to more elab-
orate story lines and themes,” he said.
“We have a lot of 3D effects in there, and on Thursday night we turn off the lights and have
just one or two people instead of five or six, and give them a very small flashlight,” he said.
The Haunted Hotel awaits at 511 N. Jefferson
St. in downtown Huntington. The prices and hours are identical to those of the Hysterium.

Memories flow as town buys the Pour HouseAs spectators shared
memories of Monroeville, Don Gerardot focused on the town’s future.
Gerardot, on behalf of the town, bought the Pour House restaurant and bar at auction. The $60,000 price includes attached buildings
that date to 1900 and 1905. Combined, the buildings dominate one of the two downtown blocks.
It was an investment in Monroeville itself, said the town council president.
“It’s really hard to get the properties cosmetically appealing to the eye, and that’s what we’re working on right now,” he said.
“We’ve purchased another three-story building, which we’re getting ready to tear down.”
“I don’t know exactly what will happen with this building, for sure,” he said. “I had some other people actually interested. But we want to be sure that the building’s fixed up to where it looks nice. When you come into town you look at it and you say ‘That’s a place I’d like to be.’ “
Visitors entering the downtown from the north see the Pour House on their left. Visitors arriving from the west see the Pour House off to their left, and the shuttered flower shop on their right. That empty building is coming down.
The building that housed the flower shop might have a future “if it was all fixed up,” Gerardot said. “But, fiscally, you couldn’t spend that much to fix it up to where it needs to be.”
The restaurant continued serving and the bar continued pouring, as the post-auction paperwork began.
On auction night,
though, the Pour House was filled with patrons who hoped that the restaurant and bar continue.
Claudia O’Shaughnessey and Rosemary Richard and their husbands bought the business in 1980. Daniel J. O’Shaughnessey died in 2013, at age 77. Neal “Pee Wee” Richard died in 1994, at age 65.
“I’m 78 and Rosie’s 83,” O’Shaughnessey said. “We need to get out of here.”
O’Shaughnessey described the Pour House as a restaurant first and a bar second. She said the Greek salads and the chicken gizzards are the best around.
She said the restaurant’s future won’t be up to her and business partner of 34 years. “No one knows what’s going to happen,” she said.
Even as bidders gath-ered on the north side of the building, business continued on the south side. Richard stayed in the kitchen. She had planned to take the night off. But a staffing problem arose. She kept busy preparing her well-known chili.
O’Shaughnessey, too, was chasing coffee and questions as the bar approached its capacity of 46. “I’m sorry it’s so busy,” she said.
Mike Pruden finished his dinner and waited for the auction. A restaurant has been in that location for as long as he can remember. “It was the Cove and the Muskrat Slide. That’s two of the names. And then this,” he said.
“It’s just comfortable,” he said. “You know what the food it. You don’t have to look at the menu. Almost all of these people I know. I don’t remember their names right off. And
the food’s good. It hasn’t killed me.”
Sherry Klotz knows the owners from another perspective. They have been her employers for six years. “They’re very nice to work for,” she said. “They play a big role in running this bar. They’re here every single day, both of them.”
“Everybody who comes in here knows each other,” she said. “Or they’ve heard about the Pour House from someone who’s been here. Or they know Rosie or Claudia. We’ve got people who live down in Florida — every time they come home they come in to see them.”

Enjoy Georgetown Square music, treats, traditionDiane Scranton knows
how to prepare for a cold Halloween night, and hundreds of zombies, ghosts and monsters.
“One of my employees gets the hot dog costume on, with her hot dog hat, and she stands out there and passes out treats,”
Scranton said.Scranton has kept the
grill at Jeff’s Coney busy through nine Georgetown Halloweens. Scranton will join her business neighbors once again Friday evening, Oct. 31, to welcome an estimated 1,800 children to Georgetown Square.
“The New Haven Alumni Band plays right in the breezeway between
us and Ziffle’s [Rib Bar], so we get a lot of people in here,” Scranton said. “And we sell a lot. I just put more dogs on the grill. I just know I have to be prepared for it.”
“It’s the longest running trick-or-treat event like this in the country, going on for more than 40 years now,” said Maureen Partee, the Georgetown marketing
specialist. She said her father, the late Tom Jehl, started Georgetown Halloween in 1972.
And so it continues in 2014. “Lots of people will bring chairs and watch the trick-or-treaters,” Partee said.
Georgetown Halloween trick-or-treat hours are 5:30-8 p.m. Partee said the stores will hand out candy,
plus maybe coupons or other treats.
A costume contest is open to all ages.
“People who have done it year after year said they have never trick-or-treated anywhere else. Someone who was 40 years old said ‘I won the contest when I was 8 years old.’ “
The band is part of that tradition, returning
year after year. “It’s cute, because they dress up and play Sousa style music,” Partee said.
Carol Whitner directs the band, which — despite its name — is no longer either exclusively or predominantly alumni of New Haven High School. Today, it’s just a group of about 25 people who enjoy playing music.

‘Seeing is Believing’ tours Fort Wayne schoolsGood schools are a key
selling point for residen-tial real estate.
A great home in a school district that has an iffy reputation isn’t going to command as high a price, or attract as many potential buyers, as the same house would in a more highly regarded school district.
That’s why Fort Wayne Community Schools is partnering with the PTA and Greater Fort Wayne Inc. to develop the “Seeing is Believing” tour. Real estate brokers Lynn and James Reecer and their associates at Reecer Properties were the guests on the first tour, held Oct. 9.
Melanie Hall, director of public affairs for
FWCS, saw the concept used elsewhere and decided to adapt it to Fort Wayne. The first tour started at Anthis Career Center and made stops at Towles Montessori (grades one through six); New Tech (grades seven and eight); Harrison Hill Elementary and South Side High School, all on
Fort Wayne’s southeast side.
“We were just so impressed,” Lynn Reecer said afterward. “It will help us promote FWCS for all the good things they have.”
Among other things, Reecer said, she was impressed with the small class sizes, the emphasis
on project-based learning, how well behaved students were in the classrooms and the hallways and the relationships of teachers and principals with their students.
“They seem to have such a great rapport with their students,” she said.
The tour group dropped in on a number of different classes and group members were assigned students to answer ques-tions along the way.
At Harrison Hill, Prin-cipal Shaun Smiley talked about the diversity of the student body, which is about 34 percent African American and 24 to 28 percent Hispanic. A number of students enter the classroom speaking another language and have to learn English.
“We have a lot of good kids from a lot of different
places,” Smiley said. “We speak 17 different languages.”
The school has been working to improve student behavior and reduce the need for disci-plinary measures, he noted. Three years ago, there were 670 referrals to the office for disciplinary matters; last year, the number dropped to 325, a third of which involved behavior on the school bus, not in the school building.
“As far as Harrison Hill
specifically, we’re a pretty peaceful school,” Smiley said.
Hall said the school district is working on high school program brochures, as well as a school catalog, that real estate brokers can place in homes to use as sales materials. As it did last April, FWCS will host a tour next April for members of Greater Fort Wayne Inc., and Hall hopes to sign up tours for other real estate groups in the future.

Cedarville Elementary on National Blue Ribbon listCedarville Elementary
School has been recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School.
Selection is based academic excellence and progress in improving academic achievement.
Nine Indiana schools made the list of 337 schools earning the honor nationwide. Cedarville Elementary is the only Allen County school on
the list. The 287 public and 50 private schools will be recognized Nov. 10-11 in Washington, D.C.
“I’m so elated and proud to be the leader of such a great school and I really appreciate all the hard work and dedication from our teachers and staff,” Cedar-ville Principal Brad Bakle said.
“This is awesome! It’s such a great honor to be
named a National Blue Ribbon School and I’m extremely proud of our students and staff at Cedar-ville Elementary,” said Ken Folks, the East Allen County Schools superin-tendent.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced this year’s winners.
In its 32 year history, the National Blue Ribbon
Schools Program has bestowed this coveted award on nearly 7,900 of America’s schools.
U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly applauded the honored schools.
“Education is essential to the success of our state and our nation,” Donnelly said. “Indiana’s future appears brighter each and every day because of the hard work of Hoosier teachers, adminis-
trators and staff to prepare our students to thrive and tackle the problems of tomorrow. I also congrat-ulate the students at each of these schools for their excellent academic perfor-mances.”
The Department of Education invites National Blue Ribbon School nominations from the top education official in every state, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Depart-ment of Defense Education Activity and the Bureau of Indian Education. The Council for American Private Education nomi-nates private schools. A total of 420 schools nation-wide may be nominated, with allocations determined by the numbers of K-12 students and schools in each jurisdiction.

Corned beef sandwich saleis temple’s top fundraiser
Congregation Achduth Vesholom’s 13th annual Corned Beef on Rye — Sure to Satisfy fundraiser also offers the public a chance to visit the campus at 5200 Old Mill Road.
Dine-in hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Rifkin Campus at 5200.
“Just sit down and chit chat and have a nice lunch,” said Bonnie Pomer-antz.
The project is the temple’s largest annual fundraiser. “It takes about a hundred people to pull this off — all volunteers,” Pomerantz said. Proceeds go into the general oper-ating budget for everyday expenses, including many programs open to the general public.
“It gives us an opportu-nity to share what we could call a taste of Judaism, to share it with the commu-nity,” said fundraiser co-chairman Kris Gray. “It also invites the community
to come to our facilities.”Gray said the Rifkin
Campus at 5200 is designed to consolidate different Jewish entities, including expansion to accommodate the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation. That organiza-tion’s move to the campus became official on June 1.
He said the fundraiser is consistent with an ongoing effort to identify with the 46807 neighborhood where the temple is located and with the broader Fort Wayne community. “Hey, come on down and share some corned beef, in a cafe style,” he said.
Find fax-able order forms through the Corned Beef Fundraiser link at templecav.org. The boxed meals include an over-stuffed one-third-pound corned beef deli sandwich, coleslaw, dill pickle and brownie and drink. Meals are $15.
The temple traces its roots to 1848 as Indiana’s first Jewish congregation. Learn more about the congregation’s history and programs, by visiting templecav.org.

Carroll finds meaning in ‘Cathedral’
Carroll High School marching band director Doug Hassell said this year’s show is more difficult by design.
“Every year is different. Every group is different,” Hassell said before the first round of ISSMA competition. “And the best way I can describe this group is
that they are meeting every challenge we’re giving them. And they are a hard-working group.”
“They’re kind of a young group,” he said. “We’re bigger than we’ve ever been, which is cool.” The 2014 Charger Pride fields 178 musicians and guard members. “But because we’re young, I feel like I just constantly have to push them harder. But in
the end it makes sense. They’re performing well. They seem to be enjoying the process as well as the product.”
“We knew that in order for us to grow we had to do things a little more challenging. So we intentionally made the show more challenging,” Hassell said.
“Cathedral: Echoes from the Architecture” opens with the sound of a bell ringing six times.
“Essentially, we wanted to portray the ambience of the cathe-dral. That’s really what it’s about,” Hassell said.” Because we spend so much time together, we always try to use the show as kind of a life metaphor. And for so many kids, not just in this band but every-where, band is like that sacred place, it’s like

Headley to help YoutheatreHeather Headley, whose
stage career has taken her from Northrop High School to Broadway and London, will visit Fort Wayne on Saturday, Nov. 8, for the 80th anniversary fundraiser for Fort Wayne Youtheatre. The evening of song and conversation begins at 7 p.m., at Grand Wayne Convention Center, 120 W. Jefferson Blvd.
For more information about the artist, visit heatherheadley.com. For background on Youthe-atre and details of the 2014-15 season, visit fort-wayneyoutheatre.org.
For sponsorship infor-mation, email [email protected] or call 422-6900.
Individual tickets begin at $100. Call the Artstix box office at 422-4226.
Headley was born on Trinidad. She moved to Fort Wayne at age 15 in 1989 and enrolled in Northrop, where she was active in music and theater. She went on to study at Northwestern University, and left college on the final day of her junior year in 1997 to join the cast of “Ragtime” on Broadway. She originated the role of Nala in “The Lion King.” She earned a Tony Award for her title role in “Aida” in 2000, and a Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album for “Audi-ence of One” in 2010. She is married to Brian Musso, a former Northwestern football standout who signed with the New York Jets. Musso is now CEO of a wealth management firm. Headley and Musso
are the parents of two sons: John Davis, who will be 5 on Dec. 1; and Jordan, 8 weeks. The family lives in Illinois.
In an interview with Times Community Publi-cations Editor Garth Snow, Headley discussed her memories of Northrop, her career, and her reason for supporting the Youtheatre fundraiser.
About her experience at Northrop High School:
“I think my time at Northrop was amazing. I am grateful for Northrop.
“I arrived at Northrop one week before my 16th birthday. I remember when they told me that I was going to be going to Northrop High School and I was not necessarily
Heather Headley’s Broadway credits include “Ragtime,” “Aida” and “The Lion King.”COURTESY PHOTO

happy. I wanted to go to another school where somebody I knew was, and I thought, ‘This is so out of the way, and who am I going to know, and this is awful.’ But in the end it became a great friend to me. It became a great place for me to perform.”
She enjoyed the musicals and appreciated the nontra-ditional casting. Among other roles, she starred as Fannie Brice in “Funny Girl” her senior year.
“They pushed me and believed in me,” she said of the Northrop faculty. She said those people encouraged her to apply to Northwestern and supported her.
“My acting teacher, Mr. [Del] Proctor, still follows me everywhere. I think he has seen every show I’ve ever done. He went to London and saw ‘The Bodyguard’ over there.”
“Northrop has a soft place in my heart. I’m very grateful for them.” About her decision to leave college for “Rag-time” on Broadway:
“At that point, it was the toughest decision of my life, because I was going to be asked to leave school, and that was against every-thing I’d ever wanted and done. I was against it. So I remember saying to myself that I would call every professor and every teacher I’d ever known, and if anybody says ‘don’t go,’ I would stay home. And everybody was like ‘go,’ to the point that some people said, ‘You’re an idiot if you don’t go.’ It was a scary, scary time in my life, but in the end it was one of the best decisions ever, because everything just rolled off of that.”
It was just another part of the same journey that had brought her to the United States, to Northrop, to Northwestern and forward again, she said.
“My mother prayed and there were a lot of scary days, but in the end I’m glad. And I will tell you this — I could not have learned it at North-western. Sitting there and watching people like Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell and May Mazzie and Peter Friedman. Sitting there in the wings and watching them every night was like
a class.” About where she dis-plays her Tony, Grammy and other awards:
“They are in an office space. I don’t see them every day. There are days that you need to go see them. You think, ‘You got this; you’re not so bad.’ ” About why she is re-turning to support Fort Wayne Youtheatre:
“I was always in Fort Wayne Civic Theatre and some other theater. I didn’t have Youtheatre. That’s the reason, because I did not have it then. And I do think that our kids need an artistic place to learn.
“I was telling people that we live in an ‘American Idol’ society, where every-body thinks they’re going to be a star. I have to tell kids, ‘Many of you will never do this again. You may sing in church or in a small production, but you may not do it again on this level.’
“We need a place like the Youtheatre where [young people] can go and learn and hone in on their art, and find out about other parts of the theater. Maybe you can be a director, or backstage, or on the crew. And so I think it’s a beautiful thing to be a part of that. There’s a Heather out there who doesn’t know if she’s going to be in the theater, or who wants to be in
the theater and needs to hone that in. But it’s my pleasure to be there and to help them any way I can. I know there are kids out there who are just like me. They love theater. They love performance.” About whether her older son is aware that his mother is famous:
Headley played The Pocket Queen on the 2001 Sesame Street DVD “Elmo’s Magic Cook-book.”
“I remember thinking ‘One day I’m going to have kids and they’re going to think it’s so cool that I worked with Elmo.’ Fast forward to about a year and a half ago. He was watching it on his iPad. I remember I hit the screen and said ‘Do you know who that is?’ And he said, ‘Mommy, it’s the Pocket Queen.’ So I put my face next to his face and I said, ‘It’s me.’ And he said, ‘No Mommy, it’s somebody else’s mommy, just leave me alone.’ Then last night, he was watching it again and he said, ‘Mommy, you’re on my iPad and you’re singing with Elmo.’ And I thought, ‘Yes, finally.’ And then he kind of moved on.”
She said her son is not distracted by his parents’ fame.
“We’re just Mommy and Daddy, and every now and then Mommy gets dressed up and goes onstage.”

Dupont Valley Times • October 24, 2014
A weeklong celebration marked the 30th anni-versary of the opening of Indiana’s first Subway sandwich store.
The Coliseum Subway, across from Northcrest Shopping Center, cele-brated Sept. 29-Oct. 3, with discounts, ’80s-theme music and trivia contests.
On Sept. 27 and 28, the restaurant donated 30 per cent of the sales to Turn-stone.
“Turnstone is proud to be part of the celebration and help the Coliseum Subway show off their community spirit,” said Nancy Louraine, CEO of Turnstone.
“I wanted to use our anniversary celebration to benefit a nonprofit organi-zation,” said Jeff Sebeika, the owner of Coliseum Subway and two other Subway stores in Fort Wayne. “I’ve long been impressed with the mission
of Turnstone. They’ve just marked their 71st anniver-sary, and they are dedicated to improving the quality of life of so many people. Turnstone seemed like a perfect match.”
“This is our way of not only celebrating Fort Wayne’s first Subway, but thanking the customers who have been loyal to us for so many years,” said Sebeika, who extensively renovated the store in 2013. Sebeika’s parents, the late Fran and Bob Sebeika, bought the Coli-seum Subway in the 1990s. However, Jeff Sebeika’s ties to the store go back to earlier owners.
“I worked at the Coli-seum Subway during the summers when I was in college in the ’80s, “ he said. “So the store has been a big part of my life. I feel a special responsibility to operate a store that my parents took such pride in,
and one that played such a major role in the devel-opment of Subway in this region.”
Sebeika, who also owns Subway stores on Stellhorn Road and at the Georgetown North shopping center, said he feels strongly that business owners should give back to the community. A board
member of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Sebeika and his Subway stores have supported a wide variety of organizations, including Little League and youth hockey teams, school music and athletics programs and performing arts groups.
Turnstone is at 3320 N. Clinton St. For information, visit turnstone.org.
Subway celebrates anniversary by giving
A 30-ft. sub sandwich was only part of a weeklong 30th anniversary celebration at Coliseum Subway. Subway owner Jeff Sebeika donated the sandwich to the Northrop Band of Pride before their trip to the Penn Invitational.

their home away from home that they can go to and that they can come and feel totally who they are. And historically cathedrals were like that for those communities in which they were built. So every week we talk about how every one of them is like a brick in that cathedral and it’s going to be here after they’re gone, and their contributions will always last. But while they are here it’s just really a cool, safe place where they can just go and know that they’re part of something that’s bigger
than they are, and enjoy the safety and the protec-tion of the building.”
“The show itself seems to make sense from a judging stand-point,” Hassell said. “It’s gettable. You can get what it’s about. The kids seem to like it. We seem
to like it. So it’s pretty fun.”
After weeks of band festivals, the band took the show to the first round of Indiana State School Music Associ-ation competition Oct. 18. The top 20 bands in
each of four classes will advance to the semi-states on Nov. 1. Carroll will perform in Class A in the Ben Davis High School semi-state, in Indianapolis. The top 10 bands in each class will compete in the finals Nov. 8 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
That’s only part of the challenge this season. Carroll also has entered the Bands of America competition. Carroll will perform at 4:45 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Other northeast Indiana bands competing in BOA are Norwell, which competes at 1 p.m. Friday, and Homestead, which competes at 9 p.m. Friday. Preliminary competition continues Saturday, Oct. 25. In all, 64 bands from seven states will compete in the Super Regional. The Saturday evening finals will produce one Super Region champion.
Then 90 qualifying
bands from 18 regional sites visit Indianapolis on Nov. 12-15 for the Bands of America Cham-pionships.
Find ticket prices and schedules at musicforall.org.
Hassell has led bands to BOA before, while teaching at Norwell. “I’ve never been through something like this with that many groups as a super regional, so we’ll see,” he said.

Last Fort Wayne Kmart to close
The last Fort Wayne Kmart will close by the end of this year.
The store at 820 N. Coli-seum Blvd., along with one in Decatur, were among the newest roster of store closings planned by Kmart parent, Sears Holdings Corp.
The retail giant has been struggling, reporting a loss of $573 million, or $5.39 per share, for the quarter that ended Aug. 2.
“Our second quarter earnings are unacceptable and we are taking steps to
address our performance on several levels,” Edward Lampert, Sears Holdings’ chairman and CEO, said in a recent earnings report. “This includes reducing costs as we evolve our business model, investing in our Shop Your Way and Integrated Retail customer initiatives, rationalizing our physical footprint and improving pricing and promotions.”
Five stores in Michigan, as well as stores in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Iowa, are also in the process of shutting down, according to various news reports.
The local Kmarts began their liquidation sales on Sept. 28. The Decatur store has 49 employees and the Fort Wayne store has 69, mostly part-time, Howard Riefs, Sears corporate communications director, said in an email.
About a dozen years ago — before Kmart’s merger with Sears — Fort Wayne had four Kmarts. The store at Illinois Road and Jefferson Boulevard was the first to go, followed by the Kmart on Coliseum, across from Glenbrook Square.
Last October, the company announced plans
to close the Kmart at 7530 S. Anthony Blvd., and it was gone in January. It also closed a Kmart store in Huntington and a Sears store in Logansport this year. The shutdown of the last Kmart here will leave Sears Holdings with a full-line Sears store at Glenbrook Square, a hard-lines store in Columbia City and Kmarts in Warsaw and Elkhart.
