Lynch sharesrailroading passion

It’s only natural thatKelly Lynch becameinvolved with railroading.

His grandfather was anengineer, and later aroundhouse foreman, forthe New York Central Rail-road in East Chicago.Lynch’s father was an orig-inal member and laterpresident of the FortWayne Railroad HistoricalSociety.

As a kindergartenstudent at RiverdaleElementary School, one ofLynch’s first and fondestmemories was being in alocomotive cab with hisfather.

Today, the 2004 Eastsidegraduate sees it as apersonal mission to spreadhis love of railroading withothers.

Lynch spent his firstsummer after high schoolworking for the OhioCentral Railroad — a shortline railroad operation. Hecame back that fall toattend Indiana-PurdueUniversity at Fort Wayne.

For a time, life tookLynch to Los Angeles,where he worked for NBCUniversal, then back tonortheast Indiana. When hewas in the area, hecontinued to work for theOhio Central and otherrailroads, and also volun-

teered his time with thehistorical society.

“There’s not many 20-somethings roamingaround trying to do this,”Lynch said. “I would try togo to other locomotivegroups and operators too,just to shadow people andto learn,” he added. “Some

of it was paid and some ofit was volunteer, so it wasa good mix.”

Lynch estimates hespends about 40 hours aweek volunteering with thehistorical society. Whenhe’s not working on the

Couple gifts coolingvests to police dogs

Mike and Carla Mowery of New Havenwere saddened when they heard about thedeath of New Haven police dog, Riley,last year. The couple with one dog of theirown wanted to do something to honor theK-9’s memory.

“It all started when Riley, the NewHaven police dog died,” Mike Mowerysaid. “We both wanted to do something inremembrance of him, but we weren’t surewhat to do.”

Months later, on a trip to the 2012Canal Days festivities, the Mowerys sawthe K9 units giving a demonstration. Theday, Mike Mowery recalls, was hot andthe temperature about 90 degrees. Thedogs had to be put inside a running, air-conditioned vehicle to cool down inbetween demonstrations.

“(The dogs) were panting pretty heavy,”he said. “They weren’t in distress, but itwas obvious they were hot.”

The couple had read about a companymanufacturing cooling vests for animalsin the military. The company recentlydonated some vests to the Fort WaynePolice Department, Mike Mowery said.The couple decided to do a bit moreresearch to determine whether the vests

would be suitable for NHPD police dogs.What they found was HTFx. HTFx was founded at the onset of

Operation Iraqi Freedom, according toKate Doherty, a sales consultant withHTFx.

The patented technology cools ananimal’s core in extreme heat. Vests arecustom-fitted and each usually comeswith a second set of cooling packs toinsert into the vest to prolong its use.

“The technology isn’t ice or gel,”Doherty said. “If you carry a small cooler

Teens in and aroundNew Haven don’t have toworry about what to doon Friday nights. PowerHouse Youth Center hasthem covered with GLO.

Wendy Hoering, PowerHouse’s director of devel-opment, said GLO is aprogram for middle andhigh school studentsproviding them with asafe, “club-like” atmos-phere from 8 p.m. tomidnight each Fridayduring the school year.

“GLO is a positive andsafe place for kids to bewith a primary focus ondrug and alcohol preven-tion,” Hoering said.

The center, which ishoused in a former Amer-ican Legion post, offersyouth many options in itsexpansive space. Fromdancing to a DJ’s tunes inthe ballroom and chatting

at the snack bar down-stairs to playing the Wiiand entering one of thefun, hourly contests in therecreation area, there are abevy of activities tochoose from and a ton ofspace for teens to spreadout.

“Whatever kids areexcited about, we’ve gotsomething for them todo,” Hoering said.

With an average atten-dance of 80 young adultsin the past, Hoering saidthe program is taking off.Organizers saw upwardsof 160 students as the yeardrew to a close last spring.Hoering and the PowerHouse staff fully expect toaccommodate 150 or morekids each week this year.

Hoering said she attrib-utes the boost inattendance to the dedica-tion of the center’sprogram director and theadults who volunteer weekin and week out.

The program directorhas begun spreading thecenter’s message — andits program offerings — tostudents in grades sixthrough 12 while centervolunteers interact withthe kids and build rela-tionships with them whilethey are there.

“We rely on volunteersto staff GLO,” Hoeringsaid. “Supervision is ourfirst step, but we strive togo beyond that andprovide kids with a posi-tive adult influence whileestablishing and buildingrelationships.”

Hoering, who attendedPower House as a youthherself, said the centeralways is looking tomake tweaks to theprogram in an effort tokeep kids the safest theycan be. A few years ago,an off-duty police officerbegan hanging around todiffuse any conflicts.Before that, the centerinstituted a “no passes”rule, disallowing theyouth to leave the prem-ises and return later.

“Everything we do, wedo for safety. But, therealso is the preventioncomponent, too,” Hoeringsaid.

Future tweaks to GLOare being considered,Hoering said, as the centerattempts to draw in morehigh school students. Oneidea being discussed, shesaid, is carving out aspecial space off limits tothe younger kids.

“We are really lookingto engage and maintainthose relationships withhigh school students,”Hoering said. “We arelooking to define aspecific space for highschool with activitiesspecifically geared towardthem.”

GLO will host itsannual kick of celebrationFriday, Aug. 24 at 8 p.m.

Hoering said she thinksthe 2012-13 season willkick off with a bang. If itis anything like last year,she said, there will be along line at the door at the“club” on Fridays.

The packs take 30-40minutes to charge in therefrigerator, she said.

“These are unique, non-water-based, targetedintelligence designed tofreeze and melt when wetell it to — to deliver aconstant temperature of55 degrees for two to twoand a half hours,” Dohertysaid.

The Mowerys thoughtthe vests would be a greatway to remember Riley.They called the NHPD andasked if their K-9 unitswould be interested andthey immediately werewelcomed with open arms.

“We didn’t know thempersonally, but theynoticed our dogs out inthe heat and wanted tohelp,” said Jenny Black-burn, NHPDadministrative assistant.“We couldn’t be morethrilled.”

“We looked (HTFx) uponline, made a few phonecalls, went out and talkedto them,” Mike Mowerysaid. “Then, we talked toNew Haven police, gotdogs measured and in afew weeks the vestsarrived.”

The vests, with addi-tional cooling packs, costaround $200, Dohertysaid.

The Mowerys evenhave volunteered topurchase a vest for Riley’sreplacement once it’strained. And recently,another of the NHPD’spolice dogs, Brit, hasbeen diagnosed witharthritis. Once Brit retiresand a new dog is broughtin, the Mowerys willpurchase it a vest, too, ifone of the others doesn’tfit.

“They are working toget a third dog next yearand my wife and I havemade a commitment whenthey bring in the thirddog, we will get the newdog a vest,” MikeMowery said.

As for the vests, Black-burn said they are gettingused often. During arecent National Night Outdemonstration, the dogswere demonstrating howthey apprehend a suspect,which requires runningand other exercise.

The dogs wore theirvests and were able tostay cool.

“The vests made it soRemi could do what sheneeded to do withoutgetting overheated,”Blackburn said.

The Mowerys say theyare so happy to havemade a difference in thelives of the dogs.

“We are actually prettyproud of all this,” MikeMowery said.

New Haven man dreams big

This summer has beenpretty exciting for NewHaven resident John Fred-erick. He and 10 otherstudent from CharmaineModels and Talent traveledto Orlando, Fla., to takepart in the Applause RisingTalent Showcase.

Frederick, at age 57, wasthe oldest contestant of the400 who competed in cate-gories such asimprovisation, monologueand TV commercial.

Frederick didn’t do tooshabby, either. He placedfirst in the male commer-cial actor photographycategory.

“They had a professionalphotographer from NewYork City come in and takephotos and they liked minebest,” Frederick said. Hesaid the talent scoutsattending the showcase alsotold him they liked hisvoice, too.

So, how does a 57-year-old career tool and dyemaker end up on stage in

front of talent scouts inOrlando, Fla.?

Frederick said he’salways been a “ham”with a desire to perform.After working for hisfather’s family business,he delved into commu-nity theater and beganperforming on the FirstPresbyterian Churchstage eight years ago.

Then, in 2011, Char-maine held an audition.Frederick decided to take ashot at his long-represseddream.

Frederick sang a songduring his Charmaine audi-tion and was given aninvitation to take classes atthe talent school. Frederickwas one of only a handfulto be selected from morethan 150 contestants.

For the past year, Fred-erick has been takingclasses at Charmaine,honing his talents toprepare for the ART show-case.

It apparently paid off, asFrederick said he madeseveral contacts withagents.

“I made contact withsome folks and I’mfollowing up on themnow,” Frederick said. “I’mgoing to make a little demotape and send it to agentsto look for voice-over workin New York City.”

Frederick said his familyhas been supportive of hisgoal of making it big andhe hopes to make it asecond career.

“I’m amazed, you mightsay. I am going to take it instride and maybe one dayretire and dedicate my timeto acting,” Fredericksaid.

Eventually, the school was renamed St.Joseph School and the sisters ceased theirteachings and the school has since beenstaffed by lay teachers.

Through all the changes, the school hascontinued to provide a top-notch educationfor its students, Fernandes said, which isone of the reasons the church’s parish feltit necessary to organize a year’s worth ofactivities to not only celebrate the school’spast, but to look toward the next 100 years.

“When we began making plans for thecentenary celebration, we wanted to cele-brate the past, but we also asked: How dowe ensure the school continues the legacyfor the future?” he said.

The school’s centenary committee cameup with the slogan: Celebrating the Pastand Rebuilding the Future.

“The festival will be full of the typicalfood, fun and games,” Fernandes said. “Wehope to bring the whole communitytogether — the parish, the school and thecommunity at large.”

Besides being a bunch of fun, Fernandessaid, the event also is a fundraiser for theschool’s eventual purchase of the formerMonroeville Elementary School, closed bythe East Allen County School district in2011. The church planned to purchase theEACS site last year but was blocked byintervening charter schools in the area.

“Our bid was accepted by the EACSboard, but after the charter schoolsobjected, our bid is on hold,” Fernandessaid. “We are hoping to move into thatschool next year and all proceeds from theSummer Fest will go towards purchasingand maintaining the Monroeville Elemen-tary School site.”

Fernandes said the entire community isinvited to come out and enjoy the festivi-ties during the day-long event. A list ofevents can be found online at strosesum-merfest.sharepoint.com.

Nearby, Nickel PlateRoad No. 765, a 400-tonrestored 1944 Berkshire 2-8-4 steamer, hums asvolunteers prepare thehistoric locomotive for atrip to Bellevue, Ohio. Thelocomotive was built inLima, Ohio.

As diesel locomotivesgradually replaced steamengines, many wound upon the scrap heap. After itsusefulness hauling freight,the 765 was donated to theCity of Fort Wayne andwas displayed for manyyears in Lawton Park onClinton Street, not far frompresent-day ScienceCentral.

Former Spencervilleresident, the late GlennBrendel, was a foundingmember of the society in1972. In 1974, the enginewas leased to the society,moved to New Haven, andthe group launched a funddrive to restore it.

With initial rehabilita-tion efforts, the train wasoperated, but completerestoration wasn’t finisheduntil 1982. At that time,the 765 returned to serviceas an excursion engine. By1985, the historical societygained ownership of thelocomotive, and continuedto operate it for the nexteight years.

Additional restorationefforts were completed in2005, and the 765 was asgood as new, and back onthe rails the followingspring.

“I know what the loco-motive means to me, but Iwanted the general publicto understand what atreasure this is,” Lynch

said.“It was really important

to me that people knowwhat these volunteers havedone. They took it out of apark and restored it outsidefor four years, in the cold,the rain and the heat.

“They went all aroundthe country as kind ofgoodwill ambassadors forthe railroad industry,” heexplained.

Lynch serves as commu-nications manager for thesociety, but also shovelscoal as a fireman duringexcursions. Working withthe engineer, the fireman isresponsible for makingsure enough steam is builtup to power the train.

Through the years, thehistorical society built, andcontinues to operate out ofa shop east of New Havenon Edgerton Road, close tothe former Nickel Plateline. The society ownsseveral vintage passengercars and cabooses, whichlong ago disappeared fromthe rails.

Through an agreementwith Norfolk SouthernRailroad, the society takesseveral excursions overthat company’s lines eachyear.

The 12-person crew foreach trip includes an engi-neer and a pilot who arequalified to operate thetrain over that particularroute. Often, the crewincludes Norfolk Southernemployees who enjoyoperating steam locomo-tives.

The society enjoys agood relationship withNorfolk Southern, Lynchexplained.

“At the end of the day, it

boils downto, ‘Can weoperate?and ‘Howcan we stayout of theway?’” heexplained.“The rail-road isunder no

obligation to even pick upthe phone. We’re veryfortunate to be able topartner with NorfolkSouthern to do what wedo.

“We’ve had railroads inthe past not even tell usno. To some, it’s the equiv-alent to putting a FordModel A or a Duesenbergon the Indy 500, but toothers, this is the icon ofthe industry.

“This is an attention-getter. With a diesel, it’s atrain. With a steam engine,it’s a happening, and wemake happenings whereverwe go.”

The society includesmore than 40 volunteers,some traveling as far awayas Wisconsin and SouthCarolina to participate.

The group recentlylaunched a project toproduce a feature-lengthdocumentary on the 765and its crew on the roadduring 2012, along withfeatures and stories of thesociety’s 40-year history.

Keeping the engine inthe public eye is para-mount.

“In 50 years, we don’twant this engine to bestuck in a barn,” Lynchstated. “Our number onecomment when peoplevisit, they say, ‘I neverknew this was here.’

“The big trick is tomake this relevant to ageneration that doesn’tunderstand railroading ortrains in general. These areliterally the machines thatbuilt who we are.”

It was 17 years ago when Anita DeSelmhad to pack her mother’s life away inboxes. After 40 years smoking cigarettes,her mother, Susie Bassett, succumbed tolung cancer in 1995 at the age of 62.

“As difficult as it was, at that time Ithought, well she’s lived a full life,”DeSelm said.

But when her daughter, Jennifer Robbins,later was diagnosed with stage 3b lungcancer at the age of 20, she was just angry.

“My kids saw how my mom got sick. Iremember asking Jen once if I smelledsmoke (on her) and she said, ‘Do you thinkI’m stupid?’ A year later she was told shehad lung cancer. . . I was like, ‘Why her?’

Jen said ‘Well, I guess I’m supposed to bethe messenger.’”

Robbins found out about her diagnosisduring her first year at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, just afterfinal exams were through. The HomesteadHigh School graduate planned on transfer-ring to Purdue in the fall.

Jen would survive for one year and fourdays.

“The hardest thing anyone could ever dois pack their child’s life up in a box,”DeSelm said, surrounded by photographsof Jen. The girl with the bright smile andlong, thick hair beamed from a photostanding next to her mother. The frame said“Mom & Me” beneath two hearts. Jen hadgiven it to DeSelm as a gift.

“In my mind and in a lot of people’s

minds, they think lung cancer happensbecause they smoked. I found out the hardway that anyone with lungs can get lungcancer.”

It was Jen’s wish that, after she passed,her mother would spread this message onher behalf. DeSelm made that promise.After years advocating for awareness andresearch, she has finally partnered with anational organization she feels as stronglyabout as she does the cause.

“It was really important to me to knowwhere the money was going. That’s one ofmy first questions — how much of themoney donated really benefits lung cancerresearch 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 theFree to Breathe Fort Wayne 5K Run/Walkand 1-mile Walk on Sunday, Sept. 16 —the first in Indiana. The organizationassigns 85 percent of every dollar donatedto lung cancer research and awareness.

Registration will open at 1 p.m. at Head-water’s Park, 330 S. Clinton St. BrianMichaels, a former disc jockey at Star 88.3FM, will emcee the event. The 5K run/walkwill start at Headwater’s Park and headthrough Fort Wayne’s scenic Berry andWayne streets. The one-mile walk will thenbegin at Headwater’s Park and travel alongthe St. Joe River in downtown Fort Wayne.A tot trot for kids under 8 will begin at3:15 p.m.

DeSelm and Free to Breathe FortWayne’s committee members have planned

a closing rally at 3:30 p.m. to honor thosewho have been lost to cancer and thosewho are fighting against it. Biodegradableballoons will be launched with cardsattached that tell the name of the personbeing honored and their story.

In the days that follow, the card askseach balloon-finder to log onto Free toBreathe Fort Wayne’s Facebook page to leteveryone know where the balloon endedup. They may even have their own story ofsurvival or loss to share. It serves as a wayto connect and spread the lung cancerawareness message.
