Lent will bring a stringer of fish fries at Roanoke American Legion Post 160.

The Legion or a related group holds a fish fry each first Friday of the winter months. And during Lent, the public can count on a fish fry every Friday evening at 1122 N. Main St. Five other local groups share the work and put the profits to work in the community.

“They’re very accom-modating to the clubs,” said Dave Winters, the secretary of the Roanoke Lions Club. “They give us a regular night for fish fries during the Lenten season. It’s popular for the organi-zations in the area to get on the calendar at the Amer-ican Legion.

“So everybody knows who’s next, and it all works out.”

Bill Dinius, the post commander, said the tradi-tion dates back to before the Legion moved from downtown to its new home

in 1990. “They offered the facility to the organizations,

Glimpse of past kicks offRotary Club’s centennial


Rotary Club of Fort Wayne members starred in a historical skit to kick off the club’s centennial celebration.

A cast of 13 presented nine scenes from 1912 to 1965. The club retraced its history as part of a regular weekly noon meeting at Parkview Field.

Immediate Past Presi-dent Jeff Krull exited the platform to applause as he portrayed one of the 1912 organizers, Frank Bohn, urging the 1965 50th Anniversary audi-ence to continue seeking the ideals of Rotary.

Rotary Choir members echoed the voice of the century of the club that shaped the club, with “Over There,” “Bottle of Wine” and other sound clips.

Rotary first began uniting civic and busi-ness energy in Chicago in 1905. By 1912, the organization had

grown to include clubs in Canada, England and elsewhere. The Fort Wayne club’s first

Gymnastic skills earn scholarshipBy Garth [email protected]

Fort Wayne gymnast Haylie Hendrickson is ready to vault to NCAA-level gymnastics. The Homestead High School senior has accepted a full-ride athletic scholarship to the University of Arizona.

The daughter of Carolynn and Wayne Hendrickson said she will compete in any event in which she is needed. “I’m better at bars and beams, but I do all of them,” she said. “I’m an all-arounder, so they don’t just want me for one thing.”

Hendrickson received and accepted the offer after Wildcats coach Bill Ryden watched her prac-tice in December.

Mike Comeau is Hendrickson’s coach at Set-10 @ More Than Gymnastics.

“I can’t do it without Mike, that’s for sure,” she said. “I wasn’t that good when I came here, and he molded me.”

She trains 20 hours

each week. “It’s a decent amount of difficulty to get me to where I need to be,” she said.

Hendrickson has suffered elbow and ankle

injuries in the past two years. Both injuries happened during routine training.

She does not let the fear of injury become a

distraction. “It’s part of the sport, so you have to do what you know how to do, to keep your technique on,” she said.

Homestead High School senior Haylie Hendrickson performs on the balance beam at More than Gymnastics. She overcame two injuries to attract the attention of college recruiters. She will attend the University of Arizona, where she plans to study to become a physician’s assistant. Please see related story, Page B1.

We (NutriMost) asked Clay what he would say to someone who is thinking about starting the NutriMost program and his response “I’ve lost 50 lbs. Isn’t that proof enough?” - Clay Allen from 97.3 FM WMEE December 2014.... see photos below.

“My children say I’m a new mom! Instead of watching them, I play with them!” - Angela P. , December 2014

“The energy that I now have is worth every penny, and the enjoyment I have spending with my family!” - Kathy K.. December 2014

“In January (2014) I attended my company holiday party, weighing the most I ever had. Last week was my company’s Christmas party, and I can joyfully say I am down 125 pounds. Yes, ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY FIVE pounds.” - Rachel S., January 2015, see photos below.

Before BeforeAfter After

Doing NutriMost will be the best decision you’ve ever made.

Hendrickson began emailing colleges during her sophomore year. Interest picked up in the last few weeks, after she returned from the latest injury. “I had my first meet about a month ago and Mike posted a video,

and the head coach liked it, and we started emailing and we set up a visit and he came and watched practice,” she said.

Hendrickson inter-viewed with three schools before accepting Ryden’s offer. “I felt it was a good fit,” she said. Not only would she join a successful program, but she would return to the warmer weather of the state where she once worked under Olympics gymnast Amanda Borden.

Hendrickson began gymnastics in her native Arizona at age 6, and moved to Indiana at age 9.

In addition to practices, Hendrickson joins her club at meets throughout Region 5 in the Midwest. Other meets have taken her as far as New York and Florida.

“I plan to major in biology and I want to go to physicians assistant school and I want to be a P.A.,” Hendrickson said.

Eighth-grade girls dress in styles from the past for 1950s Era Day as part of Catholic Schools Week at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School. Fifth- through eighth-graders dressed up in white T-shirts, rolled-up jeans, poodle skirts, neck scarves and other 1950s attire. Classes focused on American life in that decade. Students did splatter art, imitating New York artist Jackson Pollock. They also tried to keep Hula Hoops spinning. Students and faculty danced to the twist and the stroll. For lunch, it was hamburgers and fries.

Seton students play games from the 1950s, such as Operation, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs and Life. They also looked at 1950s advertising and played trivia games based on that decade.

Teachers Leslye Yarde and Phil Didier do the stroll dance at a sock hop. Principal Greg Slee also did an impression of Elvis Presley, and media specialist Steve Gallagher played Buddy Holly’s “Peggy Sue.”

Graceful Night Out tickets on saleGrace Episcopal

Church is accepting reservations for the annual Graceful Night Out, which begins at 5:45 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20.

The event is open to the public, and reser-vations are required. Tickets are $40 and can be reserved by calling Deb Raftree at (260) 229-0237.

Grace Episcopal is at 10010 Aurora Place, off Liberty Mills Road.

The evening is designed to nurture the minds, bodies and spirits of women. The men of the church serve hearty hors d’oeuvres and sweets, while the women have the opportunity to bid on raffle and silent auction items and enjoy a few pampering stations. After the keynote by Fort Wayne anchor-woman Linda Jackson, the evening will culmi-nate in a live auction. As in years past, one of the auction items is a week’s stay at Waves of Grace, a home on Edisto Beach, S.C., that sleeps up to 10 people.

Money raised that evening supports the church, and a portion of the money will go to The Peru Amateur Youth Circus Schol-

arship Fund, which Jackson chose. This fund provides schol-arships to graduating seniors who have been circus participants three out of four high school years.

Jackson will speak on “Learning to Fly,” a look at her faith, family,

career and her history as a youth performer in the Peru youth circus.

Jackson anchors 21 Alive Morning News and produces and anchors 21 Alive at Noon on WPTA. She is a graduate of Indiana University in Bloom-ington with a bachelor’s

degree in journalism. She is also known for her work with several area nonprofit associa-tions. She has received awards from the Indiana News Photographers Association and Indiana Associated Press, and is a Poynter Institute honors graduate.

Hypnotist to present night of comedy at CottageThe Cottage Event

Center in Roanoke will present Indianapolis-based comedy hypnotist T.G. Rivers the evening of Friday, Feb. 20. The event

is a fundraiser for the Huntington County Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins around 7:30. All seats are $10.

The Cottage Event Center is at 9524 U.S. 24 North, Roanoke. Call 483-3508 for ticket infor-mation.

Rivers’ stage show is

an audience participation presentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to volunteer to be part of the show by agreeing to be hypnotized. Generally about a dozen volunteers are included in a perfor-mance.

Rivers’ website states that anyone with an open mind and appropriate desire can be put into a hypnotic state. The feeling is described as comparable to first waking up in the morning, relaxed but in a slight daydream condition. The volunteers will be guided by Rivers to perform a variety of comedic activities, some-

times including performing while believing they are in fact a famous celebrity.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, grass-roots Christian organization that builds affordable housing in partnership with families in need. Since its founding in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity has helped build more than half a million homes and served more than 2 million people

in over 3,000 commu-nities around the world. The Huntington County operation is located at 250 Commerce Drive, Huntington. The location is also home to Habitat’s ReStore, selling donated appliances, building supplies, décor items and more to raise funds for local Habitat projects. Jean Wright is the executive director.

The Cottage Event Center is owned and operated by Hamilton Hospitality Group LLC. For information or to tour the facility, call (260) 414-2015.

HU student’s initiative leads to outdoor ice rinkHuntington University

celebrated the first day of the spring semester with the grand opening of its new ice rink.

The new portable ice rink covers the outdoor basketball court in front of the Merillat Complex Fieldhouse and will remain in place during the winter months. The Athletics Office has purchased skates as well as hockey sticks and pucks for student use. The ice rink is open for use to Huntington University students, faculty and staff.

The Fort Wayne Komets

are the lead sponsor of the new facility, and representing them at the grand opening event were: Kaleigh Schrock, team captain; Mike Embach, lead scorer; Icy D. Eagle, mascot; and Ian Thornson, game operations/account manager.

“The Komets are proud to partner with HU on this student-led ice rink project and many other productive and engaging opportuni-ties,” said Scott Sproat, executive vice president/co-owner of the Fort Wayne Komet Hockey Club. “Both

our desire to support the growth of ice sports and our focus to continually improve our greater Fort Wayne community made this a no-brainer for us. We’re just proud to be a part of the project and look forward to Huntington students gaining a greater appreciation of the joys of hockey and skating outdoors. Many thanks to Huntington University for being exactly the kind of partner that helps us to help the greater Fort Wayne area.”

Junior Tyson Kali-

schuk, an accounting, business management and economics and finance major from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, presented the idea to Student Senate as an entry in the Think Tank competition in November. His ice rink proposal was voted students’ favorite idea to improve the campus, and he was awarded $700 to help fund the project.

“Growing up in Canada, I frequently went skating and played ice hockey,” Kalischuk said. “One of my personal dreams has been

to have a skating rink on the Huntington University campus that is accessible to all students.”

Since winning the Think Tank competition, he has embarked on a fundraising campaign for the remaining resources he needed to buy and maintain the ice rink. To date, Kalischuk has raised $6,850, $675 more than the projected amount needed to cover the cost of the ice rink, building materials and sporting equipment.

He solicited and received additional funds from

student organizations, including the Student Activities Board and Multi-cultural Activities Council. Various campus offices, including the Student Life Office, also contributed to the project. In addition, Kalischuk successfully sought outside funds from the Fort Wayne Komets, Beacon Credit Union, MacAllister Rentals and an anonymous donor.

“This truly was a student-led, student-exe-cuted project,” said Mark Schenkel, HU’s director of community relations.

‘Mountaintop’ examines King’s last night

Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo celebrating 50th birthdayThe Fort Wayne Chil-

dren’s Zoo turns 50 years old in 2015, and the community is invited to be part of the celebration.

“The zoo was built by this community, starting with the schoolchildren who donated pennies to build Monkey Island back in 1965,” said Zoo Director Jim Anderson. “Since then, thousands of families and businesses have donated funds to create everything you see at the zoo.” More than 20 million people have visited the zoo since it opened on July 3, 1965, and more than $32 million has been donated for capital projects.

“The zoo’s 50th birthday celebration is our way of thanking the community for five decades of outstanding support,” Anderson said.

The zoo invites the community to submit photos of their families enjoying the zoo. Photos

from the 1960s and 1970s are especially needed, but all photos are welcome. Submitted photos may be used in the zoo’s 2015 advertising campaign. Fans may submit photos before Feb. 28 by posting them to the zoo’s social media accounts, emailing them to [email protected], or bringing prints to the zoo, where they will be scanned and returned.

The 50th birthday cele-bration will continue all season long. Highlights will include a “Happy Birthday to Zoo” Party on July 1 with performances by local youth choirs; a giant birthday card for zoo guests to sign; appearances by the zoo’s new mascot at community events; partner-ships with the Three Rivers Festival and Fort Wayne TinCaps; paw prints painted on roads leading to the zoo this summer; signs showing “Then & Now” zoo photos; a nature scavenger hunt for kids; contests on social media; an expanded zoo history section on the zoo’s website; and more. Commemorative merchan-dise will be available in the zoo’s Wild Things Gift Shop all season.

“The support of our community has made the zoo the world class facility we are today,” Anderson said. “We’re excited to share

50 years of zoo memories as we continue to grow the zoo for the next generation of kids and families.”

The zoo opens for the 2015 season on April 25. The zoo’s 50th birthday is sponsored by Sweetwater,

PNC, Strahm Building Solutions, Do it Best, Centier Bank and Mainstay Solutions.

Gathering recalls rights campaignBy Garth [email protected]

Louise Smith said Richard Swanson was the appropriate choice for keynote speaker of the MLK Unity Day in Fort Wayne.

That’s not just because Swanson is the first white keynote speaker in the 30-year history of Unity Day, she said. It is because Swanson is a veteran of the civil rights struggle. Beyond that service, Swanson is a friend, Smith said.

Swanson and family were part of a record 220 people attending the seventh annual Breakfast With the Clergy at the Downtown Marriott. He later would deliver the main address at the related Unity Day across Jefferson Boulevard at the Grand Wayne Center.

Both events are spon-sored by the MLK Club Inc., of Fort Wayne. Smith is a board member and civil rights coordinator for the club.

Swanson, of Seattle, worked with Louise Smith and her husband George Smith in the Freedom Summer voter registration campaign in Mississippi in the summer of 1964. Swanson spent weeks in jail. Three rights advocates were killed that summer.

George Smith was among the honorees at the 2013 Unity Day. He died that same spring.

Swanson’s race was not an unimportant criteria in

the selection, Smith said. “I thought that the time is right,” she said. Swanson would speak from an important experience, she said.

Smith and Swanson hugged moments before the breakfast program got under way.

“George and I spent two summers together working for civil rights in Missis-sippi,” Swanson said. “He was kind of my mentor and my guardian when I was down there.

“I can’t express enough how honored I feel to have people say such nice things about me. I talked at a church yesterday and choked up a little bit, and hopefully I won’t choke up too much when I speak today. Even though it was 50 years ago the memories

are still pretty strong.”Swanson’s son Josh from

Seattle and son Jason from Orlando brought their own children to join Richard at the breakfast.

“I wouldn’t miss it,” Josh said. “I look it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

“My dad told us the stories about Mississippi and Georgia,” Josh said. “I was able to go down three or four years ago to Missis-sippi with him. That was the first time he had been back in Mississippi in 47 years. So I was able to visualize finally all of the stories.”

The Rev. Anthony Payton, the pastor of Come As You Are Ministries, offered the inspirational message at the breakfast. “I’m going to talk about the life and legacy of Dr. King within the context of his

leadership from that era and how that is needed today,” he said in an interview. “I believe that his leadership provided courage to face the troubles of that day, and we need that courage and conviction today.”

The Rev. Roger Reece, president of The Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County, offered the invocation and benedic-tion. He cited King as an example of how much good can be accomplished by one individual.

Admission to the Unity Day celebration at the Grand Wayne Center was free for the first time. The event continued until 4 p.m.

The eighth annual Break-fast With the Clergy and 31st annual Unity Day are scheduled for Monday, Jan. 18, 2016.

official meeting was Jan. 9, 1915, in the old Commercial Club on Harrison Street.

Enactors dressed in period costume to portray club founders, or the Rotary Anns of the 1930s. Dee Hoffman portrayed prohibi-tionist Carrie Nation. Bruce Haines narrated the drama, which was written and directed by Club President Barb

Wachtman.The skit opened a year

of projects to celebrate the club’s anniversary. Rotary has committed to installing 100 Little Free Libraries in greater Fort Wayne, and has 58 in place. The international service outreach included coordinating funding for a middle school in Togo, West Africa. The club will erect a 22-foot Rotary Club of Fort Wayne Centennial Tower in the fall of 2015 on

the Allen County Public Library Plaza.

Watchman told an audience of club members and guests that the Centennial Gala will be held Oct. 2 at the Grand Wayne Center.

In a news release, Watchman said the skit’s script drew from a 75-year history written by the late Ersel and John Walley. “Fort Wayne Rotary was founded at a time when leadership was sorely

needed,” the Walleys wrote. “There seemed to be an endless list of civic projects which needed sponsorships and the Fort Wayne Rotary was besieged with requests to get behind many of them and even become a clearinghouse for proj-ects …’ ”

“It’s really an exciting time to be in this Rotary Club,” Watchman said in a news release. “We’re celebrating through service — as well as having quite a bit of fun and fellowship at our weekly meetings.”

the churches, and Boy Scouts, that didn’t have a facility large enough to put on the fish fries,” he said. “And we’ve pretty much continued on with that through the years, and try to help the community and give back a little bit.”

“And we provide what-ever help we can,” he said. “Occasionally someone will offer to help with the frying of the fish.”

“Everybody does their fish fry a little different,” said Dennis Boyer, the assistant scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 302. “The American Legion just gives us a facility to do this, so we can decide our price and try to give a good quality of meal.”

“We have baked pota-toes and french fries and coleslaw or applesauce,” said Bev Swaim, whose daughter, Amy Packett, does the cooking for the American Legion Auxil-iary. “And when the Auxiliary does it, we have hush puppies.”

The Auxiliary dinners feature pollock, with serving from 5 p.m.-7:30 p.m., with tickets $9 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under.

Hours, menus and prices might vary among the organizations sponsoring fish fries. The Lions Club fish fry on March 13 will serve from 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Tickets are $9 for adults, $4 for ages 12 and under if accompanied by someone buying an adult meal. Advance tickets are $8 and are available from club members, including Mat Quickery at Bippus State Bank.

“It’s all-you-can-eat fish,” Winters said. “We bread it and fry it right here in the kitchen at the Amer-ican Legion. The desserts — cakes and pies — are a free-will donation.”

“This is an opportunity for us to raise some money, to help the Boy Scouts with the costly equipment like camping equipment,” Boyer said. “It’s just a good way for the commu-nity to give us a hand and push us forward.”

The Roanoke Kiwanis Club, Faith Lutheran Church and Saint Joseph Catholic Church also hold fish fries at the Legion during Lent.

“We have so many people down there who have different skills as far as cooking goes,” Dinius said. “It’s just amazing how they’ll step up and volunteer.”

“They have a lady down there, and if they wish it she makes the best cole-slaw that I ever tasted,” Dinius said of Lynn Clay-baugh. “And some people say the reason they come down to the fish fry is because of their coleslaw.”

“They reserve the recep-tion hall to rent from us. They will let us know what their needs are, so we’ll order the fish for them, and then we have the plates and

the silverware and napkins and tarter sauce,” Dinius said. “And whatever they use they keep track of it and pay for it.”

Dinners are scheduled each Friday, Feb. 20 through April 3 and again May 1. For hours and details, call (260) 672-2298.

“About a week or so after the the last winter fish fry, the Auxiliary will do a Swiss steak dinner,” Dinius said. “That’s just kind of a tradition. Everyone’s kind

of fished out.”Boyer, of the Boy

Scouts, said the troop draws from Huntington North High School, as well as Homestead, Norwell and North Side high schools. Boyer began helping with the fish fries when his son, Logan, was in Cub Scouts, in the sixth grade. Logan is now a Boy Scout and a senior at Huntington North.

“The American Legion has been really good about helping us,” he said.

“It’s kind of an annual event for the Roanoke Lions Club to have their fish fry at the Legion,” Winters said. “We provide manpower for cooking, kitchen prep during the event, and well as the serving and cleanup during and after. The Legion goes ahead and purchases the fish and some of the other supplies that we will need. So it all works out.”

The fish fry helps the Lions Club to support local

projects, Winters said. “We support the North-east Indiana Honor Flight, which is right here at the American Legion. We also strongly support the library. We help with the Roanoke Beautification Founda-tion, and then through the summer months we are part of the farmers’ market,” he said.

When Post 160 is not hosting a public dinner, Legion members still will find some good food at the

Legion, Dinius said. “If you’re down there Wednes-days, odds are I’m going to be there cooking wings,” he said. “We have a couple people on Thursdays who cook some really killer sliders.”

Many Legion members cook Mexican food, or chili, to serve to Legion members. “You name it, they make it,” Dinius said. “They won’t take any money. It’s their way to give back to the post.”

As you’ve no doubt noticed, your trips to the gas station have been a lot more pleasant these past several months. There’s not much doubt that low oil prices have been welcome to you as a driver.But when oil is cheap, is that good for you as an investor?

There’s no clear-cut answer. But consider the following effects of low oil prices:

• Positive impact on economy — When you spend less at the gas pump, relative to recent years, what will you do with your savings? Like most people, you’ll probably spend most of it on goods and services. If you multiply the amount of your increased spending by the millions of other Americans who are also

saving money on gas, you can see that you and your fellow consumers are likely adding billions of dollars to the economy. Typically, a strong economy is also good for the fi nancial markets — and for the people who invest in them.• Different results for different sectors — Different sectors within the fi nancial markets may respond in different ways to low oil prices, even if the overall effect is generally positive. For example, businesses such as consumer goods companies and auto manufacturers may respond favorably to cheaper oil and gas. But the picture might be quite a bit different for energy companies.

You could spend a lot of time and effort trying to adjust your investment portfolio in response to low oil prices. In fact, you may well want to consult with your fi nancial professional to determine which moves might make sense for your individual situation. Yet there’s actually a bigger lesson to be learned here: Don’t overreact to temporary developments.The recent decline in oil prices has certainly had an economic impact, but no one can predict how long these prices will stay low or what other factors may arise that would affect the fi nancial markets. That’s why you can’t reconfi gure your portfolio based on particular events, whatever theymay be — oil price drops, interest-rate fl uctuations,

political squabbles at home, natural disasters in faraway lands, and so on.

If you can keep from being overly infl uenced by specifi c events, you may be able to gain at least two key benefi ts: First, by not making trades constantly in reaction to the headlines of the day, you can avoid piling up heavy fees and commissions —costs that can reduce the return rate on your investments. Second, you’ll fi nd that if you aren’t always thinking about what’s going on in the world today, you can focus your investment efforts more intensely on where you want to be tomorrow. The most successful investors set long-term goals and don’t focus on factors they cannot control, such as oil

prices, interest-rate changes or other economic events. Instead, these investors make adjustments, as necessary, to accommodate changes in their goals as well as other changes, such as revisions in tax laws — but they basically stick to their same approach for the long term.

So be aware of low oil prices, but don’t get so “pumped” about them that you sludge up your consistent investment strategy — because that strategy has the energy to keep you moving toward your important objectives.

A City Utilities water line takes shape along Branstrator Road, to link Airport Expressway and Liberty Mills Road. Last week, crews had completed about 6,000 feet of the project, which will measure 14,000 feet. Utilities spokesman Frank Suarez said a separate project for water mains on Bass Road has cleared the Board of Works and is headed to the City Council. The rest of the former Aqua Indiana water service area is projected to be converted to city water this year.

Composer, arrangerto lead local concertBy Garth [email protected]

A composer and bari-tone singer accustomed to the international stage will return to Fort Wayne on Saturday, Feb. 21, to direct the Chancel Choir of Trinity English Lutheran Church.

Philip Lawson will direct a program of sacred, folk and pop music beginning at 7 p.m. at the church at 405 W. Wayne St. A free-will offering will be accepted.

Lawson, who lives in Salisbury, England, sang with The King’s Singers for 18 years. He later served as the acappella ensemble’s principal arranger, contributing to the 2008 Grammy-win-ning album “Simple Gifts.”

Lawson will visit the United States for a series of workshops and for the premiere of a recent composition. The King’s

Singers will present that program Feb. 19 in Bloomington, Ill. Tickets start at $23. For details, visit kingsingers.com or cityblm.org.

Trinity Director of Music Robert A. Hobby said Lawson first visited Trinity as part of The King’s Singers on All

Gymnasts to compete at NorthropBy Garth [email protected]

About 650 gymnasts from three states will compete Feb. 21 and 22 at Northrop High School.

Young women ages 6 to 18 from Indiana, Michigan and Ohio will participate in the Walk of Fame Classic.

The event is sponsored by Set-10@More Than Gymnastics, and is a quali-fying event for the Indiana finals of USA Gymnastics.

Events run from approx-imately 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day. Admission is $7 for adults, $3 for children.

Coach and co-owner Mike Comeau explained that Set-10@More Than Gymnastics is a not-for-profit traveling gymnastics program at a for-profit busi-ness. Comeau and Kristen Hines run the program and own the business.

They invest themselves in each girl’s success.

“It makes each day coming into work easier because you know you’re working toward something not just for yourself, but for them too,” Hines said.

Hines was a Set-10 gymnast, who graduated from Homestead High School. “I went to IU and came back coaching here and I ended up buying the gym with Mike,” she said.

“You coach because you love it,” Comeau said. “You coach because it’s not how we feel, it’s watching the kids. When you go to a meet and you see them do the routine that they’re

capable of and you see the joy in their face. You don’t think about how it makes you feel.”

Comeau earned his gymnastics credentials as an All American at Springfield College in Massachusetts, then went on to coach at the Univer-sity of Rhode Island and the University of Western Michigan.

He said students quickly

forget a weak performance. “The coaches, though, it sticks with you,” he said. “When you see the disap-pointment on their face, it makes you want to work harder in the gym, because you don’t want to see that disappointment in the next competition. You want to see that joy from being successful.”

Waynedale woman sharesblankets ‘made with love’


Loretta Loy has lost count of how many blan-kets she has created for area children, but 3,000 is a pretty good guess.

The retired Waynedale school bus driver has been sewing Nana’s Creations blankets since 2005.

How many blankets has she created? “People keep asking me that,” she said.

The answer is in the labels. She orders them in batches of 125, and her supplier recently told her that she has bought about 3,125 labels with her personal message: “Nana’s blankets, made with love and imperfec-tions.”

She donated 45 “Blan-kets of Comfort” to prekindergarten pupils at New Haven Elementary School. Principal Danielle Newman welcomed the donation.

Pupils in Mary Menze’s class soon wrapped their new gifts around their shoulders and posed for photos.

“The kids were truly excited to have their own presents,” Menze said. “They had wonderful

describing words — soft, cuddly, snuggley. They were excited to take them home and show their family. One kid says he wasn’t going to let his brother use his shoes on it. But they were excited about the blankets.” The blankets are made to be washed.

Giving away blankets is not a short-cut to wealth, Loy admitted. “You don’t get rich doing it, except inside yourself,” Loy said in a separate interview. “But it’s sure lots of fun.”

Sponsors often help to defray the cost of materials. Beacon Credit Union recently donated

$500 toward Loy’s work. “This is for whatever I want to do,” she said. “I do have a couple schools that I want to visit again this year.”

Beacon also helped pay for the New Haven project, sharing the cost with New Haven Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Charlie Hatten.

The Southside Optimist Club is among Loy’s regular supporters.

And cash donations can be made to Nana’s Creations accounts at Beacon locations or at 1st Source Bank. Offers of

Mary Menze’s New Haven Primary School prekinder-garten pupils show off the blankets they received from Nana’s Creations, with the support of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce and Beacon Credit Union.

Plunge benefits Special OlympicsSpecial Olympics

Indiana and Allen County will host the annual Polar Plunge from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, Feb. 21, at Metea Park lake, 8401 Union Chapel Road, near Leo-Cedar-ville.

Individuals and compa-nies raise money through pledges and donations for the chance to take a jump into the lake.

For more informa-tion or to get involved, contact Jake Pickett at [email protected] or 402-9633. Visit soin-diana.org. Special Olympics is also seeking door prize donations, in-kind sponsors, and

event volunteers.Proceeds benefit

state and local Special Olympics programs and generate awareness of the power of Special Olympics, which allows children and adults with intellectual disabilities to live active lives through socialization, exercise and friendly competition.

Special Olympics Indiana offers a year-round program of sports training and competition to individuals with intel-lectual disabilities. Each of the 10 districts offers a Spring Games each May and a bowling tour-nament each November.

Participants can

register online, raise a minimum of $75 in pledges, and come to the lake. After the Polar Plunge, participants and spectators are invited to join the After Splash Bash in the Metea Park Nature Center to socialize and enjoy food and beverages.

Special Olympics is encouraging businesses and schools to form teams of Plungers, or to choose one person to take the Plunge as the whole group raises money. Prizes are awarded for fundraising levels met. Door prizes will be drawn at the After Splash Bash.

financial support or mate-rials also can be directed to Loy at 478-8300.

After giving up her shop on Bluffton Road, Loy said, she began to make blankets and give them to the fire depart-ment, to give to children at fire scenes. “And I decided I’d go right to the children instead of through the fire depart-ment. They’re so busy anyway. And it’s easier to find more children this way,” she said in a sepa-rate interview.

She wants the school-children to take the blankets home, she said,

because all children deserve to have some-thing of their very own.

Eligible preschoolers are as young as 3.

“I just thought it would be a great comfort to those little ones to have their own blanket,” Loy said. “The blankets have cartoon characters, and on the back it is fleece with satin across the top.” The dimensions usually are 43 inches by 50 inches.

“I have to have some-thing to do, you know,” Loy said. “But this is not about me, this is about the comfort of the chil-dren, and it’s about the people who donate the fabric to do that.”

She also has donated some blankets to fami-

lies of the 122nd Fighter Wing of the Indiana Air National Guard.

Through the years, she also has sold some blankets. Her blankets are available at A to Z Embroidery on Bluffton Road, for $30. “And if you buy a blanket there she will embroider the child’s name for free,” Loy said. Barb’s Variety, a recent addition to Waynedale, also carries the blankets. “If you buy a blanket from her we will donate one free to the fire department,” Loy said.

Dr. David Reichwage and Team at Fort Wayne SmilesOffering Strickland Facelift Dentures®

To Fort Wayne and Area Patients Fort Wayne- Dr. David Reichwage and the Team at Fort Wayne Smiles recently added a new denture technique to their cosmetic and laser dentistry practice. This innovative procedure creates beautiful and natural looking dentures with increased stability and comfort to denture wearers through a sophisticated process that pays careful attention to each patient’s unique physiology of chewing and facial characteris-tics. Traditional dentures often cause that dreaded “denture look”. This includes characteristics such as: the lips appear thin and roll inward, sunken face and wrinkles, teeth that are hidden and front teeth that are too short and back teeth that are too long, a shortened face, a weak chin. Dr. David Reichwage’s Strickland Facelift Denture technique offers new dentures that are created with an adept eye for aesthetics, rejuvenating patient appearances with facelift-quality results. Dr. David Reichwage and the Fort Wayne Smiles team received training from Dr. Rod Strickland, the author of the new technique, giving them insight into the causes of denture pain, and the collapsed appearance of many denture wearers faces. The Team at Fort Wayne Smiles is able to help patients who have been wearing dentures for years or who are looking for their first denture. For more information aboutDr. David Reichwage , the Team, their services, and StricklandFacelift Dentures™, visit their website at fortwaynesmiles.comor call 260-426-1086 or e-mail [email protected].

Girls compete at the regional level from October until March or April. Girls who score a minimum of 32 points twice qualify for the state meets.

Joy Zirille’s daughter Gianna, age 10, will compete at Northrop, but already has qualified for the Indiana finals of USA Gymnastics. In the younger classes, each girl in the state performs the same routine to the same floor music, Zirille explained. “And at Level 6 it’s optional, and that’s where they start marking their own routines and add a little more personality and show their skills,” she said.

WALK OF FAME CLASSICSaturday and Sunday, Feb. 21 and 22.Approximately 8 a.m.-9 p.m., with four starting times.Northrop High School, 7001 Coldwater Road.Admission: $7 adults, $3 children.

Saints Sunday in 2000. Trinity commissioned Lawson to compose a work for the church choral series in 2004. “Who Are These Like Stars Appearing” is one of 17 works commis-sioned by Trinity to date.

“We were fortunate,” Hobby said. “He was working on a compo-sition, which initiated a whole conversation because of my interests. And we’ve just remained acquaintances for these years. It was fun to have that connection.”

John Whittlesey, who has performed with the Boston Lyric Opera and more than a dozen other groups, also will visit Trinity, to sing the bari-tone parts in Vaughan Williams’ “Five Mystical

Songs.”“And then lo an

behold my connection with John goes back to college days,” Hobby said. Both Hobby and Whittlesey graduated from Wittenberg Univer-sity in Springfield, Ohio. “It’s the whole idea of music-making, but also music being the vehicle to pull people together in their friendships and enjoy the opportunities that come along,” Hobby said. Whittlesey now lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Trinity guests will enjoy an eclectic program, Hobby said. “We will have every-thing from the serious, traditional stuff, the processional for the royal wedding, so very British,” Hobby said. “He will conduct all of

that and then even music from Bread and Toto. It’s kind of a different

experience for the choir. We’ve done some pop stuff, but not in the presence of the arranger. So it will be kind of a hoot.”

The program is not yet final, Hobby said, adding, “There’s defi-nitely something for everyone.”

The King’s Singers was founded in 1968 at King’s College, Cambridge, England. The six-man ensemble will visit 12 U.S. cities in 16 days. Their program nearest Fort Wayne will be 7:30-

9:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 20, at Kresge Audito-rium, DePauw School of Music, Greencastle. Tickets, if still available, will be $15 at the door.

Visit depauw.edu.Hobby earned his

bachelor’s degree in church music from Wittenberg Univer-sity in 1981 and a

master’s degree in organ performance from the University of Notre Dame in 1987. More than 100 of his composi-tions are in print.
