A police dog from the New Haven Police Department wears a cooling vest donated by New Haven couple Mike and Carla Mowery would be suitable for NHPD police dogs. What they found was HTFx. HTFx was founded at the onset of Operation Iraqi Freedom, according to Kate Doherty, a sales consultant with HTFx. The patented technology cools an animal’s core in extreme heat. Vests are custom-fitted and each usually comes with a second set of cooling packs to insert into the vest to prolong its use. “The technology isn’t ice or gel,” Doherty said. “If you carry a small cooler See DOGS, page A3

It’s only natural that Kelly Lynch became involved with railroading. His grandfather was an engineer, and later a roundhouse foreman, for the New York Central Railroad in East Chicago. Lynch’s father was an original member and later president of the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society. As a kindergarten student at Riverdale Elementary School, one of Lynch’s first and fondest memories was being in a locomotive cab with his father. Today, the 2004 Eastside graduate sees it as a personal mission to spread his love of railroading with others. Lynch spent his first summer after high school working for the Ohio Central Railroad — a short line railroad operation. He came back that fall to attend Indiana-Purdue University at Fort Wayne. For a time, life took Lynch to Los Angeles, where he worked for NBC Universal, then back to northeast Indiana. When he was in the area, he continued to work for the Ohio Central and other railroads, and also volun-
Mike and Carla Mowery of New Haven were saddened when they heard about the death of New Haven police dog, Riley, last year. The couple with one dog of their own wanted to do something to honor the K-9’s memory. “It all started when Riley, the New Haven police dog died,” Mike Mowery said. “We both wanted to do something in remembrance of him, but we weren’t sure what to do.” Months later, on a trip to the 2012 Canal Days festivities, the Mowerys saw the K9 units giving a demonstration. The day, Mike Mowery recalls, was hot and the temperature about 90 degrees. The dogs had to be put inside a running, airconditioned vehicle to cool down in between demonstrations. “(The dogs) were panting pretty heavy,” he said. “They weren’t in distress, but it was obvious they were hot.” The couple had read about a company manufacturing cooling vests for animals in the military. The company recently donated some vests to the Fort Wayne Police Department, Mike Mowery said. The couple decided to do a bit more research to determine whether the vests

A teen plays a game of pool during GLO at Power House Youth Center in New Haven. The program provides a safe place for teens on Friday nights from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Power House ready to ‘GLO’ By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
Teens in and around New Haven don’t have to worry about what to do on Friday nights. Power House Youth Center has them covered with GLO. Wendy Hoering, Power House’s director of development, said GLO is a program for middle and high school students providing them with a safe, “club-like” atmosphere from 8 p.m. to midnight each Friday during the school year. “GLO is a positive and safe place for kids to be with a primary focus on drug and alcohol prevention,” Hoering said. The center, which is housed in a former American Legion post, offers youth many options in its expansive space. From dancing to a DJ’s tunes in the ballroom and chatting
at the snack bar downstairs to playing the Wii and entering one of the fun, hourly contests in the recreation area, there are a bevy of activities to choose from and a ton of space for teens to spread out. “Whatever kids are excited about, we’ve got something for them to do,” Hoering said. With an average attendance of 80 young adults in the past, Hoering said the program is taking off. Organizers saw upwards of 160 students as the year drew to a close last spring. Hoering and the Power House staff fully expect to accommodate 150 or more kids each week this year. Hoering said she attributes the boost in attendance to the dedication of the center’s program director and the adults who volunteer week in and week out.
The program director has begun spreading the center’s message — and its program offerings — to students in grades six through 12 while center volunteers interact with the kids and build relationships with them while they are there. “We rely on volunteers to staff GLO,” Hoering said. “Supervision is our first step, but we strive to go beyond that and provide kids with a positive adult influence while establishing and building relationships.” Hoering, who attended Power House as a youth herself, said the center always is looking to make tweaks to the program in an effort to keep kids the safest they can be. A few years ago, an off-duty police officer began hanging around to diffuse any conflicts. Before that, the center instituted a “no passes” rule, disallowing the youth to leave the premises and return later. “Everything we do, we do for safety. But, there also is the prevention component, too,” Hoering said. Future tweaks to GLO are being considered, Hoering said, as the center attempts to draw in more high school students. One idea being discussed, she said, is carving out a special space off limits to the younger kids. “We are really looking to engage and maintain those relationships with high school students,” Hoering said. “We are looking to define a specific space for high school with activities specifically geared toward them.” GLO will host its annual kick of celebration Friday, Aug. 24 at 8 p.m. Hoering said she thinks the 2012-13 season will kick off with a bang. If it is anything like last year, she said, there will be a long line at the door at the “club” on Fridays.

filled with ice water, you can carry an extra set of packs and recharge them in just 10 minutes.” The packs take 30-40 minutes to charge in the refrigerator, she said. “These are unique, nonwater-based, targeted intelligence designed to freeze and melt when we tell it to — to deliver a constant temperature of 55 degrees for two to two and a half hours,” Doherty said. The Mowerys thought the vests would be a great way to remember Riley. They called the NHPD and asked if their K-9 units would be interested and they immediately were welcomed with open arms. “We didn’t know them personally, but they noticed our dogs out in the heat and wanted to help,” said Jenny Blackburn, NHPD administrative assistant. “We couldn’t be more thrilled.” “We looked (HTFx) up online, made a few phone calls, went out and talked to them,” Mike Mowery said. “Then, we talked to New Haven police, got dogs measured and in a few weeks the vests arrived.” The vests, with additional cooling packs, cost around $200, Doherty said.
Do you suffer with The Mowerys even have volunteered to purchase a vest for Riley’s replacement once it’s trained. And recently, another of the NHPD’s police dogs, Brit, has been diagnosed with arthritis. Once Brit retires and a new dog is brought in, the Mowerys will purchase it a vest, too, if one of the others doesn’t fit. “They are working to get a third dog next year and my wife and I have made a commitment when they bring in the third dog, we will get the new dog a vest,” Mike Mowery said. As for the vests, Blackburn said they are getting used often. During a recent National Night Out demonstration, the dogs were demonstrating how they apprehend a suspect, which requires running and other exercise. The dogs wore their vests and were able to stay cool. “The vests made it so Remi could do what she needed to do without getting overheated,” Blackburn said. The Mowerys say they are so happy to have made a difference in the lives of the dogs. “We are actually pretty proud of all this,” Mike Mowery said.

School turns 100 By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
When students walked through the doors of St. Joseph School in Monroeville Aug. 14, they became a part of history as the school’s 100th class. On Aug. 25, the school, church and community will celebrate 100 years with the inaugural St. Rose Summer Fest and 5K run/walk event. “In 1912 the school was started by St. Rose Church to cater to the education of our children,” said Father Babasino Fernandes. “We want to have something big for the community to celebrate the past and look to the future.” According to church history, the school began under the direction of the church, then called St. Rose de Lima. The church was, at the time, aptly named St. Rose de Lima

eled and two classrooms and a library were added. Eventually, the school was renamed St. Joseph School and the sisters ceased their teachings and the school has since been staffed by lay teachers. Through all the changes, the school has continued to provide a top-notch education for its students, Fernandes said, which is one of the reasons the church’s parish felt it necessary to organize a year’s worth of activities to not only celebrate the school’s past, but to look toward the next 100 years. “When we began making plans for the centenary celebration, we wanted to celebrate the past, but we also asked: How do we ensure the school continues the legacy for the future?” he said. The school’s centenary committee came up with the slogan: Celebrating the Past and Rebuilding the Future. The centenary celebration will kick off with the first-ever St. Rose Summer Fest on Aug. 25 at Monroeville Park. Several events are planned, including a 5K run/walk event beginning at 8 a.m. Registration is $15 and check-in begins at 7:15 a.m. Prizes will be awarded to the top two male and female finishers In addition, a pie contest with fruit and cream divisions will be held and an outdoor Catholic mass will bring the community together at 10 a.m. Childrens’ activities will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a bounce house, a slide and an

This summer has been pretty exciting for New Haven resident John Frederick. He and 10 other student from Charmaine Models and Talent traveled to Orlando, Fla., to take part in the Applause Rising Talent Showcase. Frederick, at age 57, was the oldest contestant of the 400 who competed in categories such as improvisation, monologue and TV commercial. Frederick didn’t do too shabby, either. He placed first in the male commercial actor photography category. “They had a professional photographer from New York City come in and take photos and they liked mine best,” Frederick said. He said the talent scouts attending the showcase also told him they liked his voice, too. So, how does a 57-yearold career tool and dye maker end up on stage in
front of talent scouts in Orlando, Fla.? Frederick said he’s always been a “ham” with a desire to perform. After working for his father’s family business, he delved into community theater and began performing on the First Presbyterian Church stage eight years ago. Then, in 2011, Charmaine held an audition. Frederick decided to take a shot at his long-repressed dream. Frederick sang a song during his Charmaine audition and was given an invitation to take classes at the talent school. Frederick was one of only a handful to be selected from more than 150 contestants. For the past year, Frederick has been taking classes at Charmaine, honing his talents to prepare for the ART showcase. It apparently paid off, as Frederick said he made several contacts with agents.

Frederick “I made contact with some folks and I’m following up on them now,” Frederick said. “I’m going to make a little demo tape and send it to agents to look for voice-over work in New York City.” Frederick said his family has been supportive of his goal of making it big and he hopes to make it a second career. “I’m amazed, you might say. I am going to take it in stride and maybe one day retire and dedicate my time to acting,” Frederick said.
A5 obstacle course. A wristband can be purchased for $10 or $.50 per ticket. Concessions and drinks will be available for purchase beginning at 11 a.m. and a kickball tournament, a $5,000 cash raffle, and golf cart cruise will provide even more fun for festivalgoers. A mini casino tent and performances by Good Night Gracie will round out the night. “The festival will be full of the typical food, fun and games,” Fernandes said. “We hope to bring the whole community together — the parish, the school and the community at large.” Besides being a bunch of fun, Fernandes said, the event also is a fundraiser for the school’s eventual purchase of the former Monroeville Elementary School, closed by the East Allen County School district in 2011. The church planned to purchase the EACS site last year but was blocked by intervening charter schools in the area. “Our bid was accepted by the EACS board, but after the charter schools objected, our bid is on hold,” Fernandes said. “We are hoping to move into that school next year and all proceeds from the Summer Fest will go towards purchasing and maintaining the Monroeville Elementary School site.” Fernandes said the entire community is invited to come out and enjoy the festivities during the day-long event. A list of events can be found online at strosesummerfest.sharepoint.com.

With each and every breath Advocate fights to spread lung cancer awareness By Valerie Gough vgough@kpcnews.net
It was 17 years ago when Anita DeSelm had to pack her mother’s life away in boxes. After 40 years smoking cigarettes, her mother, Susie Bassett, succumbed to lung cancer in 1995 at the age of 62. “As difficult as it was, at that time I thought, well she’s lived a full life,” DeSelm said. But when her daughter, Jennifer Robbins, later was diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer at the age of 20, she was just angry. “My kids saw how my mom got sick. I remember asking Jen once if I smelled smoke (on her) and she said, ‘Do you think I’m stupid?’ A year later she was told she had lung cancer. . . I was like, ‘Why her?’
Jen said ‘Well, I guess I’m supposed to be the messenger.’” Robbins found out about her diagnosis during her first year at Indiana UniversityPurdue University Fort Wayne, just after final exams were through. The Homestead High School graduate planned on transferring to Purdue in the fall. Jen would survive for one year and four days. “The hardest thing anyone could ever do is pack their child’s life up in a box,” DeSelm said, surrounded by photographs of Jen. The girl with the bright smile and long, thick hair beamed from a photo standing next to her mother. The frame said “Mom & Me” beneath two hearts. Jen had given it to DeSelm as a gift. “In my mind and in a lot of people’s
minds, they think lung cancer happens because they smoked. I found out the hard way that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer.” It was Jen’s wish that, after she passed, her mother would spread this message on her behalf. DeSelm made that promise. After years advocating for awareness and research, she has finally partnered with a national organization she feels as strongly about as she does the cause. “It was really important to me to know where the money was going. That’s one of my first questions — how much of the money donated really benefits lung cancer research and advocacy?” The National Lung Cancer Partnership, which was founded by physicians, researchers and advocacy groups in 2001, has teamed up with DeSelm to organize the Free to Breathe Fort Wayne 5K Run/Walk and 1-mile Walk on Sunday, Sept. 16 — the first in Indiana. The organization assigns 85 percent of every dollar donated to lung cancer research and awareness. Registration will open at 1 p.m. at Headwater’s Park, 330 S. Clinton St. Brian Michaels, a former disc jockey at Star 88.3 FM, will emcee the event. The 5K run/walk will start at Headwater’s Park and head through Fort Wayne’s scenic Berry and Wayne streets. The one-mile walk will then begin at Headwater’s Park and travel along the St. Joe River in downtown Fort Wayne. A tot trot for kids under 8 will begin at 3:15 p.m. DeSelm and Free to Breathe Fort Wayne’s committee members have planned
Anita DeSelm, co-organizer of Free to Breathe Courtesy photo Fort Wayne, sits with photographs of her mother, Susie Bassett, and daughter Jennifer Robbins, both who died of lung cancer. a closing rally at 3:30 p.m. to honor those who have been lost to cancer and those who are fighting against it. Biodegradable balloons will be launched with cards attached that tell the name of the person being honored and their story. In the days that follow, the card asks each balloon-finder to log onto Free to Breathe Fort Wayne’s Facebook page to let everyone know where the balloon ended up. They may even have their own story of survival or loss to share. It serves as a way to connect and spread the lung cancer awareness message. See BREATH, page A12
