However, dues payments may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expense, subject to exclusion for lobbying activity. Because a portion of your dues is used for lobbying by NAHB and the Indiana Builders Association, when calculating your business deduction for your association dues you must subtract $39.60 of NAHB’s $198 dues (20%) and $11.00 of IBA’s $220 dues (5%) as non-deductible. 2 FROM THE COVER January 2020 Atomic Water Solutions is a locally owned Fort Wayne area business with more than 25 years of experience in the water treatment industry.

Hopefully you were able to spend some time with family and friends over the holiday season and are refreshed for the new year. Last year, the HBA Board was able to participate in putting together a strategic plan with the help of NAHB. That plan includes five specific segments that align with our mission statement. Mission Statement: The Home Builders Association of Ft. Wayne, Inc. supports all segments of the residential building industry through advocacy, education, workforce development, networking and community involvement. 1) Membership: Membership is not only focused on new members but also on meeting the needs of current members. That said, who have you asked about membership lately. Do you have friends, people you do business with, even outside of the construction fields, that align with our mission? Ask them about membership! 2) Workforce Development: To grow our impact in the region as a resource on workforce development initiatives through coalition efforts with like-minded associations, companies and local student chapters including Garret H.S. and FWCS Career Academy at Anthis. 3) Government-Regulatory Affairs: To dedicate HBA resources towards monitoring and reviewing new building codes through our codes committee, reinvigorate our government affairs committee to have 7-10 active members and engage up to 50% of our members registering for VoterVoice/BuilderLink calls to action. Are you registered for the calls to action, if not sign up today by visiting the IBA website and clicking on Advocacy. 4) Event Networking: Increase the number of members that attend events and use social media to promote and show off the events. 5) Public Relations: Promote “Do Business with an HBA of Ft. Wayne member” to consumer and demonstrate our leadership, stewardship and impact in our community through charitable actions. My goal in showing you this is not only to be held accountable, but to show you everything going on if you were not aware. Where do you think you could get plugged in? Maybe its just asking one prospective member a month to join and now you have five key reasons why. Lastly, I would just like to say THANK YOU to Tyler, Beth and the rest of the Board for their leadership and countless hours of service last year. I’m looking forward to 2020 and all it has in store for the HBA of Fort Wayne. Have a great month everyone, Greg Gerbers 5 6 COMMISSIONER’S CORNER By: John Caywood January 2020 Allen County Building Commissioner To all Builders: We expect builders to do their part in the adoption of The Building Department has fielded a myriad of the new Code by purchasing a copy of the 2020 Code communications from local builders regarding the with the Indiana amendments included.

  • Fort Wayne Komets Have Been Around a Bit
    New Vegas Affiliate Brings Rich History By Dave Lukow The Fort Wayne Komets have been around a bit. The ECHL affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights, the Komets began play - as members of the International Hockey League (IHL) - in 1952-53. More than six decades later, the hockey team is part of the landscape in the Indiana city it calls home. On August 21, Fort Wayne announced the one-year affiliation with the Golden Knights. The Chicago Wolves of the AHL are the top farm club for Vegas. “We are proud to add the ECHL’s Fort Wayne Komets as an affiliate,” George McPhee, the Vegas general manager, said. “ECHL clubs play an important role in player development. Our young players and prospects will have the opportunity to grow and improve in both Fort Wayne at the ECHL level and then in Chicago at the American Hockey League level.” Members of the ECHL since 2012, the Komets, in addition to the IHL, have played in the United Hockey League (UHL) and the Central Hockey League (CHL). Fort Wayne has won 12 regular season titles, has captured 12 division crowns, and has claimed nine championships, including seven in the IHL. Last season, the Komets were 46-20-5-1, good for 98 points and second place in the Central Division. They were eliminated in the third round of the playoffs. Fort Wayne’s average attendance was 7,784 per game, best in the ECHL. Gary Graham has been the club’s head coach since the 2013-14 season. He led the Pensacola Ice Flyers to an SPHL championship the previous year.

  • 1966-67 International Hockey League
    1966-67 International Hockey League This is the first completed season that I have constructed for Plaay.com HOCKEY BLAST. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have putting this together. The process took me about 10 hours of calculating, rating and the labor of typing it onto cards. The IHL was, in the mid 60's a mid-western bus league with seven teams located in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and one way out west, in Iowa. Teams traveled by bus and, I think, even flew to the lone team in Des Moines, Iowa. Most trips took 2 to 3 hours. The top teams in the league, at the time, were the Fort Wayne Komets, Dayton Gems, Toledo Blades and Muskegon Mohawks. Other teams that made up the circuit were the Port Huron Flags, Des Moines Oak Leafs and the expansion Columbus Checkers. The Dayton Gems won the league championship but was eliminated in four games by the Toledo Blades. Fort Wayne had a tough time with the suprising Des Moines Oak Leafs with the Komets taking the Iowa team to seven games. The Turner Cup was won by the Blades as they took Fort Wayne in six games. Some great players played in the IHL and one player stood out, Len Thornson of the Fort Wayne Komets. He took the league's MVP and scoring championship. There were more to the Komets besides Thornson. Lionel Repka was the team's top defenseman and Fort Wayne also had a young player that eventually played in the NHL and WHA (Paul Shmyr).
