During her hospital stays, Baby Kate loved to look at books and enjoyed when others read to her. Sadly , on Jan. 15, 2008, Baby Kate’s heart gave out. She passed away at the age of 18 months. To honor her life, the Layman family wanted to give back to the medical community that had taken care of their precious child. Remembering Baby Kate’s fond- ness for books, they decided to start a rolling book cart in the pedi- atric unit of a local hospital. The cart, filled with new books, allowed each child to select one of their own to keep. It took only six months after her passing for the first Kate’s Kart to begin rolling through the halls of Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne. Now, just three years later and with a team of over 90 volunteers, book carts are in 13 more hospitals. Almost 30,000 books have been distributed to hospitalized children in Baby Kate’s memory. To keep the charity rolling ahead, Kate’s Kart will throw its third annual Free Ice Cream Social on Saturday, June 18 from noon to 4:00 p.m. at Grace Point Church, 8611 Mayhew Rd. It is free and Neighborhood farmers market opens June 9 Farmer’s markets have enjoyed wider interest in recent years as consumers increased their desire to know where fresh fruits and vegetables were coming from. There, shop- pers can meet those who hand crafted products, grew produce or baked foods. These markets include two or more farmers who gather to sell a variety of fruits, vegeta- bles and other farm products directly to consumers. Georgetown Square’s Farmers Market opens for the season on Thursday, June 9 from 4-7 p.m. in front of the theater building near State Boule- vard and Maplecrest. Since it began last summer, the market has seen early success. “The market is so much more than produce,” said Maureen Partee of Georgetown Square Shop- ping Center. Georgetown Farmers Market also includes fresh baked goods, handmade jewelry, pottery, flowers, local honey, clothing and acces- sories for sale. “The northeast area residents really embraced the market last year and we hope to make it bigger and better this year, ” she said. The market will be open each Thursday through Sept. 15. Vendors inter- ested in being a part of Georgetown Farmers Market can contact the Georgetown Square office at 260-749-0461 for more information.

8/6/2019 St. Joe Times - June 2011

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/st-joe-times-june-2011 6/24

Heather Grady hadseveral e-book readerscharging as she put someof the software they usethrough its paces in prepa-ration for the first e-Book fair at the Shawnee

Branch of the AllenCounty Public Library.

She did not know whatsize of crowd to expect atthe May 11 “eVerythingeReader” event, but “somepeople have been askinghow they work,” the assis-tant branch manager said.

“I hope to familiarizepeople with the kind of devices they can get anduse with libraryresources.”

The library has beenholding events of this typeat its locations throughoutthe county since it beganlending e-books inJanuary. Interest in its e-books and audio bookshas prompted more than8,800 patrons to accessthem through the Over-Drive digital distributionservice the library uses.

The changes reflect

society’s ongoing adop-tion of new book readingtechnology, which alsohas had an impact on areabookstores.

The growing popularityof e-readers and e-books

has been mentionedamong a number of factors contributing toclosing announcementsmade during the last twomonths for area book-stores including the Book Rack at 3217 E. StateBlvd., Village Books atNorthcrest ShoppingCenter and Borders at4320 Coldwater Road.

Shari Sammetinger,who has been a clerk atthe Book Rack for 20

years, said somecustomers taking advan-tage of its closing sale thismonth fear their favoritetitles eventually could behard to come by as paperbooks.

Paperback owners couldbring in used books for aquarter of their value incredit toward the purchaseof used books the storesold at half the retailprice. But often, the recy-cling of paperbacks wouldstop with a customer whobought an e-reader, shesaid.

“It didn’t affect us as

much as it affected otherplaces, but we noticed adifference, more so withthe ladies than thegentlemen. Once they gotthe e-readers and Kindlesor things, they just quitcoming in.”

The latest data availablefrom the Association of American Publishersshowed e-book salescutting into paper book sales.

The trade association

reported e-book sales rose169 percent during thefirst two months of thisyear to $164.1 millioncompared with the sameperiod last year, as printbook sales fell 25 percentto $441.7 million.

The Yankee Group, aBoston-based companyknown for its research onthe impact of technology,forecast earlier this yearglobal e-reader sales willgrow to $8.2 billion in2014 from $1.9 billion in2010, as unit sales rise to72 million from 11

million.More than half of the e-

readers sold go to NorthAmerican consumers, and“we see it as a growthindustry,” said AllenCounty Public Librarybibliographer KathrynWitwer. “You can tell ontelevision they’re reallypushing e-readers.

“I’m selecting the e-books for our collectionand working with ourpartner, OverDrive,” shesaid. “We can’t buy themdirect and have them

downloaded to e-readers.We purchase access to thebooks through OverDrive,then anyone who has alibrary card can go intoOverDrive (online) andcheck out e-books forfree.”

As the installed base of e-readers in the countyexpands, the library hasbeen spending about$20,000 a month on e-books. Witwer said thelibrary has added about2,000 titles monthly to its

Family Fun   June blood drivehonors fallen officers

Throughout the month of June, the American RedCross will participate in the statewide Fallen OfficerBlood Drive Campaign. This is the fifth year the RedCross will host blood drives across Indiana to honorfallen officers and raise awareness of the need for blood.

Janice Starnes, whose husband, Sgt. Daniel Starnes,was killed in the line of duty in 2001, founded thecampaign and continues to organize it each year. “Mostencouraging is that the blood drives continue to grow andour officers are not forgotten thanks to the people whocome to give blood in their memory,” she said.

Last year, every county in Indiana held at least one

Fallen Officer blood drive and a total of 5,000 units of blood were collected. This year, the goal is to surpass2010 collections and honor men and women who gavethe ultimate sacrifice.

“Unfortunately, 10 new names were added to our list of Indiana fallen officers since last summer. This blood drivecampaign helps ensure they are not forgotten while alsoraising awareness of the dangers officers face every dayand the need for blood,” said Starnes.

The Fallen Officer Blood Drive will take place June13-18 at the Fort Wayne Donor Center, located at 1212 E.California Rd. in Fort Wayne. Those who donate will beentered into a regional drawing to win a $3,000 gas card.Fort Wayne Donor Center, located across from the AllenCounty War Memorial Coliseum, is open Monday andTuesday from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday and Thursdayfrom noon - 6 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m.

Biking picks up speed

On most weekendswhen the weather is nice,Drew Kora, art directorfor One Lucky Guitar, canbe found taking in thescenery as he pedals alonga river bank or through ahistoric neighborhood onone of Fort Wayne’s well-wooded trails.

“The sheer pleasure of being on a bike is some-thing I enjoy. It’s relaxing,and at the same time you

get your adrenalinpumping,” he said.He gets almost as much

enjoyment on a 17-mileround trip to and fromwork on weekdays: “Iwould say anytime on mybike is for recreation.”

Kora estimated he savesat least $15 per week onfuel and said with all theexercise he is getting, “Ican eat anything I wantand I don’t gain anyweight.” He did not setout to reduce his carbonfootprint, but said heconsiders that a worth-

while benefit because“they say short trips arethe most damaging to theenvironment.”

Fort Wayne and AllenCounty are encouragingmore residents to experi-ence the benefits of bicycling for transporta-tion as well as recreation,and have been investing ininfrastructure to supportthat.

A 10-year plan for abikeway network connecting neighborhoodsand destinations such as

city parks was included inthe comprehensive planfor Fort Wayne last year,and the city installed morethan 100 bike racks down-town and establishedbicycle lanes on Wayneand Berry streets and onRudisill Boulevard.

Bicycle retailers sayinfrastructure investmentmay have contributed toan increase they havenoticed in the number of people using bicycles inthe city.

“We’ve seen a lot more

repairs within the last fivemonths. People arewanting their old bikesfixed. More people are

 just wanting to get out andexercise,” said BobbyJones, lead mechanic atBikes and Boards.

“We give out a lot of Rivergreenway maps tomake sure we get theinformation (on areatrails) out there. Peopleare loving that. Andthey’re loving the newbicycle lanes and they’rehoping we’ll be getting

more of them,” he said.But with gas priceshigher than they had beenfor a couple of years andthe area’s economy still inrecovery mode, it is noteasy to tell how much of the increased interest inbicycling comes frominfrastructure improve-ments, Jones said.

“A lot of it has to dowith economics. It’scheaper to go out for abike ride as a family andpack a dinner than it is topay $10 a ticket to watcha movie.”

Summit City Bicyclesand Fitness saw a 20-percent increase in saleslast year following a 15-percent increase in 2009,and David Coar, generalmanager, said its sales arecontinuing to grow.

“This year sales are upnot necessarily so muchwith bicycles but with alot of accessories andclothes,” he said. “Theybought the bikes last yearand are trying to buy theother things they need, theclothing and helmets.

“We’ve seen morepeople pulling out theirexisting bikes and gettingthem working again.They’re trying to makethem more comfortableand are adding accessoriesso they are more useful,adding lights and hornsand things they can use onthe Rivergreenway.”

The area could see agrowing number of bicy-clists getting increased useout of one of its greatestrecreational assets,because Coar said more

bikeway improvements arein the works.

Fort Wayne Trails, anonprofit groupsupporting area traildevelopment, came intoexistence early this yearthrough the merger of three nonprofit groupswith a similar mission.Earlier this month it cele-brated moving its officesinto Arts United’s AuerCenter for Arts & Culture.

Fort Wayne Trailsworks closely with thecity and county, particu-

larly when federalgovernment funding isinvolved, because federalgrants always require localmatching dollars, saidLori Keys, executivedirector.

Trails are a good invest-ment because in additionto improving health,“across the country, trailsare shown to increaseproperty values,” she said.“We have had contactsfrom people interested inmoving to Fort Waynewho want to know if wecould send them a map of 

the trails so they can knowwhere to buy a home.”

The completion thissummer of a 1.5-milesection of the TowpathTrail will be cause forcelebration because it will“fill in a real significantgap between the River-greenway and south andwest Fort Wayne (trails),”Keys said.

The work Allen Countyis doing on the lastsegment of Towpath Trailbetween Engle Road andJefferson Boulevard isimportant because it willconnect the Aboite Trailssystem with the River-greenway, said DawnRitchie, Fort Wayne’sGreenways manager.

“Right now, we’ve got61 miles of trails, butsome of those trails arescattered here and there,”she said. “When we finishthe Towpath Trail, 50 of those will be part of aninterconnected holisticsystem.”

are added to the trailssystems, “we expect itwill be a healthiercommunity; there will bemore opportunity forpeople to get out andexercise,” Ritchie said.

“We expect to retainmore college-age studentsbecause if we improve thequality of life in Fort

Wayne — which we’redoing when we have aterrific park system andtrails — this is whatthey’re looking for.”

“As businesses arelooking to expand or relo-cate, quality of life issuesare one of the things theyare looking at, and they’realso looking at the healthof the community, and aspeople exercise more,health care costs godown.”

Paul Spoelhof, acommunity development

planner for Fort Wayne,said its interest in

improving the quality of life and the health of itsresidents, and cultivatingthe image of a healthful,fun place to live, hasinspired the city to takesteps that could qualify itfor the League of Amer-ican Bicyclists’“bicycle-friendly commu-nity” designation.

In mid-May, the citybegan installing the first10 of 100 additional bikeracks it plans to makeavailable this year. Not allof the locations for themhave been selected, butsome of them are likely togo up along the Broadwaycorridor and SouthCalhoun Street. The cityalso is exploring bike rack locations along East StateBoulevard and NorthAnthony Boulevard.

“The status of being abicycle-friendly commu-

nity is something we’reinterested in, and weknow there are severalthings we need to do toreach that goal,” Spoelhof said. “Having the plan is abig part of that. Having aneducational outreach formotorists and cyclists ispart of it. As we buildmore infrastructure, we’llbe in a position to getsome recognition from theleague.

“The League of Amer-ican Bicyclists did ananalysis that looked atcommunities investing in

bicycle infrastructure,comparing that to commu-nities that hadn’t madeinvestments. And thebasic finding was wherecommunities had beeninvesting in biking infra-

structure and making aneffort to be more friendlyto bicycle use, they wereseeing an increase in bicy-cling for transportation.”

Fort Wayne Outfittersand Bike Depot has asilver bicycle-friendlybusiness designation fromthe league, and OneLucky Guitar has a bronze

designation. Summit CityBicycles and Fitness has aleague-certified instructoron staff.

“The more things anemployer does to make iteasy to bicycle to work,the more your rating goesup,” said Kora, who bicy-cles to work at One LuckyGuitar from Marchthrough December.

About half of themarketing and designfirm’s 11 employeesbicycle to work every day,and it supplies them with

helmets, an indoorparking space for theirbicycles and shower facil-ities.

One Lucky Guitar andKora donated time devel-oping a new brand andlogo for Fort WayneTrails, and Kora serves onits board.

“We’re big believers inthe trails and in lettingpeople get to places safelyand conveniently withouthaving to take a car,” hesaid.

“Riding my bike towork takes me about 35

minutes at a decent clip;in the car it’s 20 minutes… And I say to myself,for the extra minutes aday I spend in a bike I getso much more out of it.”

Teen uses YouTube to get‘Dollars for Collars’

Why do so many people subscribe to Andrea Russett’sYouTube channel? The Bishop Dwenger student hasmore than 100,000 subscribers. Since 2008, the channelhas been viewed by more than 3 million people. So, whatmakes this teen such a standout among the millions of 

teen channels on the video-sharing network? Put simply,Russett just cannot help but be herself and it seemspeople like her just the way she is.

Her video blogs concern various topics relatable toother teens. When a mistake is made on camera, shemakes light of it and moves on. Russett just likes to havefun and wants viewers to have it right along with her.

One of her more recent fans is the Allen County SPCA,a local nonprofit providing animal adoption and shelterprograms, education outreach and spay/neuter services.As part of a class project, Russett created a fundraisercalled “Dollars for Collars” and asked her thousands of subscribers to purchase glow-in-the-dark bracelets in thehopes of raising funds for the ACSPCA.

When she started campaigning for her cause onYouTube, Russett had not yet reached the 100K-subscriber milestone.

“I just figured since I’m almost at 100,000 subscribers,

it was my turn to give back, and I thought with yourguys’ help, we could just improve [the animals’] lives,”Russett said in the blog. She plans to use 100 percent of the proceeds to purchase items for the ACSPCA.

Russett has so far raised $1,200 for the animal shelterwith no signs of slowing down. Sofia RodriguezMirwaldt, executive director of the ACSPCA, said Russettrecently made a decision to continue funding an accountcalled “Andrea’s Fund” that will focus on special needsfor dogs and cats.

“[Andrea] is such a great example of how students canget active in helping the homeless animals in need righthere at home,” Mirwaldt said of Russett, who recentlyvisited the shelter to donate the $1,200 check.

To help the “Dollars for Collars” cause, various colorbracelets are available for purchase on the website athttp://dollarsforcollars.tumblr.com/.

e-book collection.Costs could range from

$6.99 for an e-book version of a typical paper-back to $30 or $40 forsome types of nonfictionand for titles in highdemand, particularly whenthey are first out.

For example, the e-book version of “The Land of 

Painted Caves” by JeanAuel cost the library $30.

“You don’t get the big

discount for the new …and the more popularones, but they lastforever,” Witwer said.

Or at least many of thee-books last forever.HarperCollins disap-pointed a lot of librariesearlier this year when itannounced it would notallow any of the e-books it

sells in the future to bechecked out more than 26times.

The major publishersaid failure to impose therestriction would reduceits sales because paperbooks wear out andrequire replacement withenough circulation.

Allen County PublicLibrary has about 11,400e-books, which have beenchecked out more than

23,100 times. It checkedout about 4,300 e-booksin January, 5,700 in

February, 6,900 in Marchand 6,200 in April.

The library has allo-cated $300,000 fore-books this year andexpects to see rapid adop-tion of e-readertechnology by its patrons,said its director, Jeff Krull, “but there are a lotof people who don’t have

e-readers yet and a lot of people who aren’t inter-ested. They think a

physical book is what theywant.

“We want to be outthere and moving andevolving, but we have avery large installed baseof users who want whatwe’ve always had,” hesaid. “An example of thiswould be our movies. We

 just recently stopped

checking out videotapes.The transition to e-

books is going to begradual, and they willnever replace paper booksentirely because somebooks work better as

physical items, he said.There also are a number

of books that can’t bedistributed digitallybecause it is not clear whoowns their copyright.

A book digitizing effortunder way with thegenealogy collection of the Allen County PublicLibrary is focused on

public domain items,Krull said. With a goal of making roughly 100,000of those books availableonline, “we’ve digitizednot much more than 10percent,” he said.

number of comic shops that we do, notto mention all of the great gaming andother geek-related stores,” Krusecontinued. “We’re also home to somereally incredibly talented, legendarycomic book creators like Gray Morrowand Denys Cowan. I want [Summit CityCon] to help the local comics commu-nity to thrive and grow. It’s a great placeto be.”

Morrow, a Fort Wayne native, was best

known as art director of Spider-Man andillustrator of the syndicated Tarzan, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and Prince Valiant

comic strips. A 15-year veteran of theentertainment industry, Cowan was thechief creative force behind the “StaticShock” animated series from WarnerBrothers Animation that earned consecu-tive Emmy Award nominations from2001-2003.

The 2011 Summit City Comic Conrepresents a spectrum of the comics’community, ranging from the most main-stream to the very independent-minded.

In addition to the show floor, panels arescheduled throughout the day, focusingon subjects like the importance of “all-

ages” comics to the application of thelaw in the fictional Marvel and DCcomics genre.

“The capes and cowls will always be apart of comics,” Kruse said. “But there isso much more to the art form than that.There’s crime drama, autobiographicalslice-of-life stories, horror, historicalfiction, spy stories, books that explainscientific theories, you name it. Comicscan be and are anything you want them

to be, and that makes them the greatestmedium in the world. My goal with thisshow is for attendees to experience the

community and the medium and, hope-fully, walk away feeling some of theexcitement I have for comics.”

Sponsored by Three Rivers FederalCredit Union, admission to the event is$10 per person. Children under 12 areadmitted free with a paid adult admis-sion. Tickets are available at the doorand through the Summit City Comic Conwebsite.

IPFW welcomes new dean of studentsAfter conducting a nationwide search,

Indiana University-Purdue University FortWayne has selected Eric Norman as its newdean of students.

Norman, who begins his duties later this

month, comes to IPFW from the Office of theDean of Students at Louisiana State University(LSU) in Baton Rouge, La., where he served asassociate dean of students and director of theoffice of student advocacy and accountabilitysince June 2006.

Prior to that, Norman was director of frater-nity and sorori ty life at Virginia Tech, where hewas also an affiliated assistant professor in thedepartment of educational leadership andpolicy studies.

“I was drawn to IPFW by the vision andgrowth of the university. Other schools seek toincrease their enrollment, but few are able toachieve the success that IPFW has accom-plished in such a short period of time,” saidNorman. “The size of the institution was just

right and there is a nice combination of seasoned and emerging professionals from awide variety of institutions.

“I felt an immediate familial connection withthe folks from the search committee and I was

very pleased to see that others I met during mycampus interview were just as genuine andcaring. Clearly, everyone here has a sinceredesire to help students in their development. Iam very excited to join this team and I cannotwait to get to work.”

After 37 years, ISP says goodbye to ‘Lovie’If you have ever walked through the

front door of the Indiana State PoliceFort Wayne Post or made a telephonecall to its office, chances are you spoketo Lovilee Johnson. This month, thestate police said goodbye to their long-time ambassador as she looked to

retirement to begin a new chapter in herlife.

Johnson is known by all as “Lovie,”and has enriched the lives of the menand women she worked with throughoutthe years with her positive, upbeat andoptimistic attitude, the Fort Wayne postsaid. By treating citizens with kindness,listening and offering words of comfort,she has both knowingly and unknow-ingly diffused many unpleasantsituations brought to the post.

Born in Brickeys, Ark., Lovie movedwith her family to Fort Wayne when shewas very young and was a 1959 grad-

uate of Central HighSchool. She wasappointed to the ISP onFeb. 11, 1974 as a datainput operator andassigned to the originalFort Wayne post on

Jefferson Boulevard. In1979, Lovie applied forand was granted a transferto the new Fort Waynepost and was reassignedto switchboard operator, aposition that she helduntil the day of her retire-ment.

Throughout her career,the Fort Wayne post hashad eight different districtcommanders. One of them was MajorGary Robbins, who has known Johnsonfor 33 years.

“The Fort Wayne postreceives a tremendous amountof calls, sometimes fromemotional or irate callers, yetLovilee’s cheerful personality,and her ability to remain calmand professional has served her

well in taking or routing thecalls to the proper station,”Robbins said.

Johnson is the mother of twochildren, Sandra, 51, who livesin Fort Wayne, and Michael,50, who lives in Atlanta, Ga.She also has two stepchildren,Therron, 45, who lives inBethesda, Md., and Todd, 37,who lives in Hammond, Ind.

Johnson and her husband Joelook forward to retirement to travel,volunteer and spend time with theireight grandchildren.

Lovilee Johnson is presented with a state resolu-tion by Sen. Tom Wyss and on behalf of Sen.David Long and Sen. Dennis Kruse.

Could the Mad Ants go marching?

Fort Wayne’s NBA D-League basketball team, theMad Ants, may be leaving the Allen County WarMemorial Coliseum for a new home court in a soon-to-be built volleyball/basketball complex just off LimaRoad.

The 52,000-square-foot complex, being created byRCI Development, will be built adjacent to theLutheran Health SportsCenter, formerly the Canlan IceSports Arena, on a pie-shaped piece of property atLima and North Wells Street.

The move could solve some scheduling issues for theteam.

“Since we’ve gotten here, we’ve been looking for away for our fans to get some better dates,” said MadAnts President Jeff Potter. “This is one option we’reconsidering.”

RCI developed the ice arena on the propertypurchased a few years ago by businessman Jerry Henry.

The arena opened in early 2010, and a hotel on theWells Street side of the property, delayed by financingissues, opened early this spring.

The volleyball complex, which will have fouroutdoor sand courts, eight indoor courts and seating for3,100 spectators, will leave about three acres of theparcel left for restaurant and or retail, said RCI’s ToddRamsey.

The volleyball courts, inside and out, will be avail-able for use by youth teams as well as adult volleyballleagues. The leagues are growing in popularity, andteams currently play at facilities in Columbia City andWarsaw, Ramsey said.

Since volleyball alone wouldn’t be enough to makethe project a financial success, however, plannersdecided to design the building so it could be reconfig-ured for basketball, Henry said.

“But we won’t do youth basketball. We don’t want tostep on the toes of Spiece, which does a great job with

that,” Ramsey said. He declined to discuss the talkswith the Mad Ants, but said an announcement on plansfor the complex should be coming soon.

Since the team’s first season in 2007-2008, the MadAnts have struggled with scheduling issues at the coli-seum.

“They keep that place very busy. It’s tough for us to

get those dates we want,” Potter said.While the seating at the new complex would be much

smaller than the coliseum’s, based on what D-Leagueteams do in other markets, it should be sufficient,Potter said.

Work on the complex could begin soon and becompleted by January, Ramsey said. Canlan, theCanada-based company that manages the ice arena, isexpected to be one of the bidders for the managementof the new complex.

Zumbrun Construction, which built the ice arena,also will build the new project.

The NBA awarded Fort Wayne the DevelopmentLeague franchise in 2007 and it has played at the coli-seum since the beginning. The team is owned andoperated by Fort Wayne Basketball Group LLC, led bymajority owner and former AT&T executive JohnZeglis. Other members of the founding ownershipgroup were Jay Frye, Denny Sutton, Mike Thomas,

Gary and Adam Probst, Tim and Tom Borne, MattMomper, Chad and Diana Parent and Bruce Patterson.

The team’s regularly scheduled games run fromNovember until early April.
