Derby closing directing career with ‘Annie’By Rod KingFor Times Community Publications
For Matt Derby, New Haven High School math, physics and chem-istry teacher and drama director for the past 30 years, producing “Annie” has been a bittersweet experience. The musical, which runs March 18, 19 and 20 in the school’s auditeria, will be his last production.

Parkview Field upgrades protect and entertainBy Rod KingFor Times Community Publications
When baseball fans return to Parkview Field, they might overlook the subtle upgrades that have been made over the winter.
The TinCaps face the Lake County Captains in the home opener, April 9.
For openers, a 20-foot-high protective safety net
has been added the length of each dugout to protect fans from sizzling foul balls. The nets will not inhibit the fans’ view of the action, nor will they eliminate opportunities to snag pop fouls that might be lobbed over the screens. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Minor League Baseball President
and CEO Pat O’Conner had endorsed the screens as a safety measure. Cost of the installation … $22.500. Peace of mind … priceless.
On their way to their seats, fans will tread a completely resurfaced concourse. According to John Nolan, broadcast and media relations manager, it had not been upgraded since the stadium opened
seven years ago. “We want to continue to be proac-tive where the fan’s safety is involved. Though the concourse was not visibly deteriorating,” said Nolan, “it has seen a lot of wear and tear considering the stadium hosted 623 events in addition to the Tin Caps games. That includes concerts, charity run/walk events, business and service club meetings in our conference center and the fact that it is open daily for exercise walking.”
One thing that fans will notice is the structure on top of the 400 Club in center field. The new Summit Presented by Tuthill will accommodate groups of 25 to 125 for a unique game view and an unobstructed look at the Fort Wayne skyline. In fact, it’s the only baseball field in the country with such a facility that gives fans an elevated batter’s-eye-view of the action.
The TinCaps have invested $600,000 in the new restaurant/bar/patio. and Tuthill (local pump manufacturer) purchased the naming rights. Seats have been installed on the patio for watching games and there will be high chairs and tables to enjoy food catered by various Fort Wayne restaurants. The $40 per person charge includes the game ticket, and unlimited food and
beverages.Parkview Field is more
than baseball. This season the park will feature 20 fun theme nights ranging from a high school spirit night in May, a birthday party to celebrate Indiana’s 200th year, a Star Wars night, a summer Olympics evening, a “Tonight Show” event, a pirates night and a Halloween night. Most of the theme nights will be on Fridays, but a few are scheduled for Thursdays. TinCaps players will wear special jerseys on some nights, and fans are invited to dress up according to the particular theme.
The team has announced that there will be more post-game fireworks than
ever before, with a record 32 scheduled. Nolan, who has visited many of the ballparks around the Midwest League, said, “Fort Wayne fans are treated to bigger, better and longer fireworks displays than any other park.”
Stadium Journey maga-zine has named Parkview Field the No. 1 baseball experience in the minor leagues four of the last five years, No. 3 in all of baseball’s 160 stadiums throughout the country, and No. 9 among stadiums of all kinds in the United States. The additions and upgrades to the stadium this season will likely ensure its continued high national rating.
Parkview Field has hosted 623 events in addition to TinCaps games in the seven years since opening. The concourse has been repaved and new 20-foot-high safety netting has been added the length of each dugout.

Fort Wayne Philhar-monic musicians will step to front and center as soloists in Baroque favorites at the fourth and final installment of its Chamber Orchestra Series at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 2, at the First Wayne Street United Methodist Church, 300 E. Wayne St., Fort Wayne.
Tickets for “Baroque Favorites” are $20 and available for purchase at fwphil.org. Purchases can also be made in person at The Phil Box Office, 4901 Fuller Drive, or by phone at (260) 481-0777. Tickets are also avail-able one hour prior to the concert at the venue. Full program and series information is available at fwphil.org.
“The Baroque period is one of the most diverse in music history,” the
Phil explained in a statement, “and with a concert full of famous works, audiences will experience the well ordered, ornate, and emotive qualities of some of the greatest music ever written, all in one place and at the same time.”
Two movements from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major and the Suite No. 2 in B minor for Orchestra feature Philharmonic principal flutist Luke Fitzpatrick. George Frideric Handel’s “Entrance of the Queen of Sheiba,” from his oratorio “Solomon,” Johann Pachelbel’s iconic Canon in D major, and Henry Purcell’s Chacony in G minor, all among the most revered works in the Baroque repertory, the Phil said.
Other selections include Tomaso Albinoni’s Adagio in G minor for Organ and Strings, Georg Philipp Telemann’s Overture in D major, and Joseph Bodin de Bois-mortier’s Concerto in D major, featuring principal bassoonist Dennis Fick.
“One of the definitions of the word Baroque is ‘a unique shape of a pearl,’ ” conductor Chia-Hsuan Lin said. “The program the Phil musicians and I are going to perform is definitely a collection of lovely Baroque musical pearls.”
A centerpiece of the evening, Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, was composed for an aris-tocrat who didn’t care enough to listen to the work or even pay for it. Written for the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721 as a kind of musical job application, the manu-script lay ignored in the court library until it was rediscovered and published in 1850. This concert will feature the stately first and whirl-wind final movements of the concerto.
Chamber series to close with ‘Baroque Favorites’

When the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir travels to Europe this summer, the young singers will have a unique musical moment on their itinerary.
The youths will visit famed locations and even sing in beautiful cathedrals, Executive Artistic Director Jonathan Busarow said. “Unlike other visitors to Hungary, our students will have an opportunity to demon-strate their command of the Kodály method as active participants with their Hungarian peers when they visit the Kodály
(“Ko-dye”) Institute in Kecskemet, Hungary,” he said.
Busarow said Zoltan Kodály created the music methodology that the chil-dren’s choir follows daily. “The Kodály method
teaches students how to be musically literate,” Busarow said.
In an email, he explained: “The Kodály method uses a set of syllables, solfege, to teach people to read music.”
Busarow said 39 members from the Concert Choir and the Youth Chorale – the high school ensemble – will leave June 24 to perform in Hungary, Germany and Austria. They will return
July 3.“We’ve been fund-
raising for this tour for two years, and the students have been fund-raising like crazy for this trip, and to date students have raised $13,000,” Busarow said.
The youth will visit composers’ birthplaces, the Hungarian parliament building, and “The Sound of Music” filming loca-tions.
This will mark the 13th international tour in the FWCC’s 43-year history.
Busarow shared those observations in comments to parents and supporters at a Feb. 22 concert at IPFW’s Rhinehart Recital Hall, where the Concert Choir presented the program they would repeat Feb. 25 at the American Choral Directors Association conference in Chicago.
Busarow said the ACDA invitation represents a special honor for the choir. “Gospel choirs, community choirs, chil-dren’s choirs like ours. You name it, they’re there,” he said.
“So how did we get there? We went through a very rigorous audition process. We sent them three years of recordings and in those three years the FWCC rose to the top, which is an excellent thing for our organization,” he said. Officials who reviewed the tapes were judging blind, without knowing which choirs submitted the tapes.
“It’s our first time going. It’s the first time anyone from the Fort Wayne area has gone. And, other than Indianap-olis, we’re the only other choir from the state that has gone,” he said.
Five members of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra participated in the preview concert at IPFW, and accompanied 40 members of the concert choir and FWCC staff members on the Chicago trip. The program included many styles of music.
Busarow thanked IPFW, Sweetwater Sound and Three Rivers Federal Credit Union for their support of the Chicago trip.
Abigail Westropp and Rebekah Hammond sing with the Concert Choir, which the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir describes as its “premier ensemble of unchanged voices.” The FWCC will take 39 young singers on a singing tour of Europe this summer.

‘Lure of Mexico’ art on display through April 17The Fort Wayne
Museum of Art has opened “Lure of Mexico,” an exhibit exploring the attraction many artists felt to Mexico from the 1920s-1940s.
“In the opening decades of the 20th century visual artists, composers, writers, filmmakers and dancers from all over the world flocked to Mexico,” the museum said in a state-ment. “This exhibition explores the extraordinary art created during this time period and the cross cultural influences.”
The exhibit opened Jan. 30 and continues through April 17 at 311 E. Main St., Fort Wayne.
Drawn from FWMoA’s permanent collection and augmented by works from public and private collec-tions across the country, the exhibition is anchored by portfolios by African
American artists Elizabeth Catlett and Hale Woodruff, and photographer Paul Strand as well as other works by John Taylor Arms, Thomas Hart Benton and Ben Shahn. Other featured artists include Tina Modotti, José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera and Edward Weston.
Lenders to the exhibi-tion include museums and private collectors.
FWMoA plans a Lure of Mexico Symposium from 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, featuring Gilberto Cardenas of the University of Notre Dame and Phoebe Wolfskill of Indiana University. The cost to hear the two speakers and enjoy a lunch and guided tour is $20 to FWMoA members and $25 to nonmembers. Visit fwmoa.org/rsvp to register, or call (260) 422.6467 for more infor-mation.
General admission to see this exhibition at the museum is free for FWMoA members, $7 for other adults, $5 for students and seniors 65-plus, and $20 for fami-lies. General admission is free for everyone from 5-8 p.m. Thursdays. Veterans, active military personnel,
and their families receive free general admission. FWMoA gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Thursdays 10 a.m.-8p.m., and Sundays noon-5 p.m.
The Fort Wayne Museum of Art is a funded partner of Arts United of Greater Fort Wayne.
Embassy tribute concert, film series
tickets readyThe Embassy Theatre
will pay homage to its Grande Page pipe organ with several events in June, sponsored by Hylant.
The annual Buddy Nolan tribute concert will be at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 5, at the Embassy, 125 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne. Tickets are $8 adults and $3 for chil-dren 12 and under.
Nolan played many concerts at the Embassy and was instrumental in helping to save the Embassy from demoli-tion. A nationally-known organist, Nathan Avakian, will be at the console this year with a show that the Embassy said will satisfy contem-porary music lovers and give tribute to the histor-ical legacy of the theater organ.
The Embassy’s Black-and-White Film Series for 2016 will feature the 1928 version of “Steam-boat Bill Jr.,” starring Buster Keaton and featuring Embassy house organist Cletus Goens on the Grande Page. The film begins at 7 p.m. Monday, June 13.
At 7 p.m. Monday, June 20, the love story “Sunrise” from 1927 will be on the big screen with Clark Wilson returning to the Embassy to play the Grande Page.
The Embassy’s final selection for the season is the Cecil B. DeMille classic “The Ten Commandments” from 1923, at 7 p.m. Monday, June 27. This movie will feature Fort Wayne
native Mark Herman on the Grande Page. Herman got his start playing at the Embassy and now plays more than 30 concerts a year around the world.
Tickets for the black-and-white movies are $8 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.
For summer family fun the Embassy offers Behind the Screen from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, June 22. This event features two black-and-white movies, “A Trip to the Moon” and “Backstage.” After the films, kids get a peek “behind the screen” when stage hands disas-semble and store the giant movie screen. The day continues with more than 16 different hands-on activities throughout the Embassy. Behind the Screen is presented by Hylant and PNC Bank. Tickets are $6 for this event, which the Embassy suggests is suited for day camps, groups and summer camps.
Tickets for all of these performances went on sale Feb. 26 through ticketmaster.com, charge-by-phone at (800) 745-3000 and at the Embassy box office.
Additional support for these programs is provided by Arts United of Greater Fort Wayne, the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

New Haven native and former Mayor Terry Werling was named the recipient of the Bill Fritcha Memorial Award at the annual State-of-the-City dinner and speech Monday evening at the Orchid Reception Hall in New Haven. The award was established in 2011 to recognize the valuable contributions made by citizens in the community.
In introducing the 2916 recipient, Mayor Terry McDonald characterized Werling as “one of the new kids on the block who has done so much
for our community and for individual residents.
He has been a leader, a friend, a mentor and most importantly the finest example of what it means to be a ‘Servant Leader.’ ”
Werling, a New Haven High School graduate, was a close friend in high school to Bill Fritcha for whom the award is named. “It’s a great honor to receive this award,” he said.
“New Haven has been a great city to grow up in, a great place to raise our family and a great place to do business. This is where I learned my work ethic at 8 years old and had to get up early every morning to deliver
newspapers. I was told that when the sun comes up, it’s time to work. And when it goes down, it’s time to go to bed. It’s great to be part of New Haven,” he added.
In the 1980s he owned and operated Werling Men’s Clothing store and today is involved in TAT Lawn Care Inc. Werling got his first taste of city government when he was
appointed to the city plan commission in the early 1970s. He served as New Haven mayor from 1980 to 1985 and has been on the City Council since 1992.
Werling and his wife, Carolyn, have three sons, a daughter and eight grandchildren. He serves as president of the New Haven Kiwanis Club and is active in his church.

Symphonic Fusion plans year-end performancesThe New Haven High
School Symphonic Fusion women’s show choir is taking a break after weeks of competition.
Director Adam Moyer said choir members are focusing their energy on the school musical for the moment.
Moyer reorganized the show choir this school year. The choir had not performed in several years.
The choir competed at the festivals at DeKalb, Homestead and Huntington North high schools. Taking the stage at the Homestead Classic Showcase were Maryann Beck, Kaelen Cannon, Ashley Chalfant, Jocelyn Chilcote, Alivia Doctor, Oliva Doreff, Lexi Garn, Elizabeth Gerig, Meredith Lancaster, Claire Moon, Maegan Morrolf, Amy Rowland, Michelle Same and Kayli Wolfe.
Moyer also is planning a concert at the high school in April or May.
“I am also looking at
planning a day for the show choir to go out to the local middle schools and perform to recruit eighth-graders for next year,” Moyer said in an email. “We will resume
rehearsals to brush up on the show a week or two before the concert. We are looking at having auditions for next year’s group toward the end of April as well and would
like to change the group from an all girls group to a small mixed group with guys, if we can get enough strong male singers to audition.
“I would certainly like to thank all the students for all their hard work and time they dedicated this year. I would also like to thank my helpful hands with the show choir behind the scenes like my choreographer Freddy Fuelling for the amazing dance moves,
tech director Therrin Eber for making everything run smoothly and look great, my girlfriend, Emilee Stemmler, for the love and support, my amazing administrators here at the school for backing me in everything I do, and the parents.”

Memoirs replace speech as honoree shares creditBy Garth [email protected]
Don Steininger set aside the script and let his memo-ries frame his comments.
The Fort Wayne busi-nessman accepted the 2016 Greater Fort Wayne Busi-ness Weekly Leadership Award before addressing the Feb. 18 audience at the Allen County War Memo-rial Coliseum.
“I crafted a wonderful speech. It was great, I was really proud of it. Unfor-tunately I couldn’t get through it,” he said.
Steininger is a 1961 graduate of Auburn High School. He and his wife,
Kathy, will celebrate their 50th anniversary this spring. He is known for developing dozens of commercial projects, including the Chapel Ridge shopping center on Mays-ville Road. He is known for his philanthropy, including the Steiningers’ $1 million donation to to build an office and community center for Fort Wayne’s community foundation.
He told his audience, too, of less successful business ventures, including restau-rants and a citrus farm. He shunned the label of philan-thropist. “I think we all are philanthropists to a certain degree,” he said. “Maybe
it’s easier to share if you start with nothing.”
“I was raised in Auburn and I will tell you, I can’t think of a better place to grow up,” he said. He urged everyone to write their memoirs. “I think you do it for yourself. You don’t do it for anybody else,” he said. Then he quoted from his memoirs, listing his first bicycle, first job and first investment the year of his 10th birthday.
Over birthdays that followed, he followed a half-dozen vocations from groundskeeper to attorney. He owned 70-some auto-mobiles. He and Kathy built and remodeled 17
homes.He was introduced
after four people told how Steininger had influenced them over the years. Steininger said he, too, was grateful for many influ-ences.
“About 15 years ago I did something that I would encourage all of you to consider doing, and that is that I made a list of the 10 most influential people in my life,” he said. “I sat down and wrote each one of them a handwritten letter telling them how important they had been and thanking them for what they had been in my life. Not only did I enjoy writing them,
but I will tell you I received back some wonderful,
wonderful responses that were very heartwarming.”
“As I look out on this room this morning I realize the various places that our paths have crossed and I realize how much I have really enjoyed being part of the community and I really wouldn’t trade it for anything,” he said.
