    Three-legged deer inspireslocal photographers book

    For Suzanne Rogers, the road towriting a book started with a three-legged deer almost a decade ago. Asan area photographer, she noticedthe deer in the southwest area aftertaking pictures.

    It was a really rough winter, shesaid. [The deer] were eating in thebackyard.

    Rogers didnt notice the deer onlyhad three legs until she wentthrough the photographs from hershoot.

    The following spring, the deershowed up with babies. Rogers thendecided to name the animalMama.

    With harsh weather, Mama had ahard time providing for her babies.

    She was starving. That was whenI decided to put some corn out forher. I knew she would die, Rogerssaid. From then on, I was reallywatching for her and photographingher.

    Mama would come back aroundto Rogers backyard for food.

    She became a little familymember, the photographer said.

    It was then that Rogers decided

    she should write a book about how[the deer] was courageous andstrong, even though she had adisability.

    Mama turned out to be a fighter,in light of missing one leg.

    She would jump fences and fight

    other deer off to keep them from herbabies, Rogers said.

    This story of adversity in the face

    of a disability inspired her to write abook titled My Mother Can DoAnything. Its sold on Amazon as aglossy paperback picture book.

    The inspirational story has left animpact in others hearts as well, theauthor said.

    It hits so many people, Rogerssaid. I have so many women whocry when they read it. It feels sogood to have something that strikesa cord.

    But Mama hasnt been seen inawhile, she said.

    She either left the area or shepassed, Rogers said. She wasreally well known in this areabehind Homestead.

    The memory of Mama and herstruggles remains close to Rogers,who is planning to expand the storyof the first book into a generationaltrilogy series.

    There are a lot of people whocheered for this deer, she said.

    The Botanical Conser-vatorys Carman Younglikes a good scavengerhunt. As event coordi-nator, her research skillswere recently put to thetest when she worked on

    the 1960s Album Art-Behind the Coversexhibit, which runs untilAug. 29.

    Finding fun facts aboutalbum art wasnt all playand games, but because

    Young has a big interestin music, this task wasmade a little easier.

    I like music a lot, shesaid. I enjoy being ableto book the summerconcert series. I go to alot of concerts. Some ofthese albums, I borrowedfrom my hippie neighbors

    when I was younger.A few of the albums

    that are part of the exhibi-

    tion include: Crosby,Stills and Nash, the

    Beatles and the Doors.One of the secretsbehind the BeatlesAbbey Road album isabout how long it took totake the classical shot ofthe four band memberswalking across the street.

    Those guys, they had10 minutes to do a photoshoot, so they had apolice officer out blockingtraffic, Young said.

    She says this equaledout to six shots in 10minutes, and the fifthshot was the one theyended up using.

    The Volkswagen Beetlethat is on the album coverwas sold for $23,000 andis now on display inGermany, she said.

    Young has found aninteresting story for all ofthe albums that are ondisplay.

    She likes just beingable to go and research anew story [and] learnsomething new that noteverybody knows.

    While the Album Artscene isnt directly related

    to the BotanicalsSummer of Loveexhibit, Young said bothdisplays will bring backthe memories.

    For the folks that areof that age, its going tobring back a lot of memo-ries, Young said, jokingthat she didnt quite growup during that decade.

    She said the display,especially of the Volk-

    swagen bus, will spark alot of memories, and

    bring in a lot of nostalgiaof the time and the placeof what has been goingon.

    The Summer of Loveexhibit will also feature adisplay of 60s toys,including favorites likeSilly Putty, Slinkies andMr. Potato Head.

    Key tag program teachescommunity awareness and

    lending a hand

    For the past five months, Realtor JuliaFiechter has been incredibly busy. Shelaunched JFLendingahand.com, anonprofit, on March 15 of this year. Theprogram works by using a key tag, muchlike the ones that are used for discounts atconvenience stores, at select retailers.

    When someone presents the key tag at aparticipating retailer, one or two thingscan happen. The retailer will donate apercentage of the sale, or other service, toa charity. The program has 10 local,partner charities. The business could alsochoose to give the consumer a discount.Bandidos Restaurant offers a 5 percentdiscount when presented with a JFLendin-gahand key tag.

    Every month, [the business] canchange their charitable promotion,Fiechter said. You show your tag, theyre

    going to take 5 percent off the bill for youand 5 percent goes to Community Harvest

    Food Bank, she said, speaking aboutBandidos.When Fiechter, who works for Mike

    Thomas and Associates, discusses theprogram, she talks about giving back inevery way she can to the community.

    I get passionate, she said. I start toget emotional. We have a giving commu-nity. Our community gives all the time. Itshows the compassion we have for oneanother.

    Fiechter has been volunteering locallyfor more than 20 years with nonprofitorganizations and has thought aboutstarting a program like JFLendingahandfor many years.

    I have been thinking about this ideafor a long time. I had no idea how I was

    going to get this idea off the ground, shesaid.

    She soon realized everything she was

    talking about with her real estate businesswas something she had brainstormed forthe program.

    The two ideas meshed together and theplan took off to combine her business,

    real estate, with her passion, which ishelping people.I never thought I would be a financial

    contributor to the program. I was going todonate 10 percent of my commissions[from home sales]. I thought, why nottake a step up and go ahead and launchmy program at the same time?

    Fiechter has never looked back from thedecision to live out her dreams.

    We work with local businesses to giveback, Fiechter said. It is absolutely freefor our businesses and our charities to

    participate in our program.But new changes will make their way

    into the nonprofit this summer whenJFLendingahand.com switches gears.

    The current site will be solely for

    Fiechters real estate business. She willdonate 10 percent of her commissionfrom the sale of the homes listed on thesite.

    The business and charity end of thenonprofit will then move to www.Lend-ingtheHand.net. This site will focus onthe businesses that are giving back in thecommunity, just as the current site doesnow, Fiechter said.

    Lending a Hand Year is an additionalproject she is working to plan at this stageof program development.

    The Lending a Hand campaign will goyearlong. Everybody doing just a little bitdoes so much more. Small, little effortsthat culminate in such big things. Wewant to expose all the efforts and people

    A resident from the Aboite Township areacalled the BBB to report individualswalking door-to-door, asking residentsabout characteristics of their home, such asits age, siding, windows and baths. Thepollsters claimed they were hired by theBBB to take the surveys and used clip-boards bearing the BBB logo andletterhead.

    BBB does not send people door-to-door

    ever to do a survey, said MarjorieStephens, BBB director of communications.If someone approaches you or comes toyour door telling you that BBB has hiredthem to do a survey, and you can get any bitof information, please let us know. Unfortu-nately, we dont have much information togo on, but it is important that residents aremade aware that this is happening.

    One of downtown FortWaynes busiest streetswill be closed temporarilynext year, and businessesand other organizationsworking to revitalize thearea believe preparing forthe project can help mini-mize any unfavorableimpact it might have onthose efforts.

    Drivers already haveexperienced roadconstruction along thecorridor, as crews work toreplace the Martin Luther

    King bridge across the St.Marys River immediatelynorth of the downtownarea. But unlike thatproject, Indiana Depart-ment of Transportationplans to raise the bridgeover Spy Run Creek justsouth of State Boulevardwill cause the completeclosure of Clinton Street,forcing those headeddowntown to seek alter-nate routes.

    That is why the citysDowntown ImprovementDistrict and the GreaterFort Wayne Chamber of

    Commerce held an infor-mational meeting on theproject in May.

    It was well attended mostly by business leadersand residents who felt likethey were going to bedirectly impacted, saidKaty Stafford, director ofgovernment affairs for thechamber.

    Some of the individualsat the meeting wereconcerned that increasedcongestion created by theproject could cost thedowntown area some busi-ness.

    Its not necessarily aconcern we share but its aconcern were aware of,Stafford said. Wereworking closely with theDowntown ImprovementDistrict and INDOT to

    make it as seamless aproject transition as

    possible.The chamber and DID

    plan to post on theirwebsites regular updatesoutlining the timetable forthe Clinton Streetconstruction and Spy RunCreek bridge replacement,as well as maps showingalternative routes to taketo the downtown areawhile the street is closed.

    The maps will beanother resource forpeople to tap into to speedtheir drive along and tomake it as convenient aspossible for them to getdowntown, Stafford said.Its a wonderful down-town and we would hateto see people not takingadvantage of the opportu-nities we have going onhere.

    Rich Davis, DID presi-dent, said a study on theimpact of closing ClintonStreet found 22,500 vehi-cles pass its intersectionwith State Boulevardevery day, which makesup 17 percent of the trafficheaded downtown on atypical day.

    The Northeast IndianaRegional CoordinatingCouncil study estimatedhalf of that daily averagewas work-related travel bydowntown employees. Alittle more than 19,000employees worked in 834downtown businesses,which saw $174 million insales last year.

    The importance of thestreet as an artery to thedowntown area made itnecessary for DID to warninterested parties aboutthe plans to close ittemporarily, Davis said.

    Based on informationDID received fromINDOT, he said, a newsrelease announcing theinformational meetingabout the Clinton Streetrealignment and bridge

    replacement project statedthe project would require

    the street to close for sixmonths, starting April 1,2012.

    Originally, that periodwas quoted to us when wemet with INDOT inJanuary at the regionalheadquarters. Later, sincethe project hadnt been letyet, they felt it would bewiser not to put a timeperiod to it, Davis said.

    Clinton Street couldhave been closed for amuch longer period hadthe department worked ontwo bridges simultane-ously, but INDOT spreadout the projects at therequest of businesses andcommunity groups, hesaid.

    Work on the MartinLuther King bridge acrossthe St. Marys River wasdone in sections to keep itopen during construction.

    Bob Alderman, deputycommissioner forINDOTs Fort Waynedistrict, said that is notpossible with work on thebridge over Spy RunCreek because the projectinvolves raising the struc-

    ture at least six feet,which requires theconstruction of graduallyrising approaches to thebridge.

    The bridge is lowenough now to restrict theflow of water when thecreek reaches high levels,which contributes toflooding in the neighbor-hood, he said. The projectalso calls for the correc-tion of a nearby curve thatis too sharp, where anumber of sideswipingaccidents have takenplace.

    Once the project iscompleted, residents inthat part of town will seeless flooding and will seea much safer roadway,Alderman said.

    I would point out to

    my friends downtown thatwe understand your

    concern, but the reality is theres nothing we dothat is painless, he said.Were just trying to findways to get it done andnot hurt them any morethan we have to.

    The Northeast IndianaRegional CoordinatingCouncil impact studyconcluded intersectionsalong alternative south-bound routes to downtownwould provide an accept-able traffic operation withthe existing traffic control,lane configuration andsignal timings.

    The official detour,which would be used bytrucks, would run fromColiseum Boulevard toWashington Boulevard toClinton Street. Othersouthbound traffic onClinton Street would turneast or west at StateBoulevard then head southon Wells Street or St.Joseph Boulevard.

    Hardbalk makes first$50K payment to city

    Hardball Capital has made the first of 19$50,000 payments to the city of Fort Wayneas a show of support for the Harrison Squaredevelopment and particularly the long-delayed, $17.5 million multiuse projectknown as the Harrison.

    Hardball noted it made the payment at the

    request of Mayor Tom Henry and in theabsence of a finalized agreement spelling outthe terms of the payments.

    Mayor Tom Henry asked us to make ourpayment of $50,000 to the redevelopmentcommission as a demonstration of ourcontinued faith in and support of the HarrisonSquare development, Jason Freier, CEO ofHardball Capitol, said in a statement.Although the payment was not yet dueunder the terms of any agreement we haveprovided the payment in advance as a show

    of good faith and appreciation for the partner-ship with the city.

    In June, Henry announced that Hardball,the city and a new development group calledNew Harrison LLC had agreed to worktogether to develop a four-storyretail/office/residential building along West

    Jefferson Boulevard abutting Parkview Field.New Harrison includes the former sole

    developer, Atlanta-based Barry Real Estate,and local investors the Hagerman Group andWhitley Manufacturing Co.

    Hardball Capital, meanwhile, owns theFort Wayne TinCaps and has served as a sortof guarantor for the Harrison project. In addi-tion to the $50,000 payments, Hardball haspledged in a memorandum of understandingto invest $1 million over the next 10 years incapital improvements to Parkview Field.

    Dont Let Low Rates Sink Your

    Retirement PlansOver the past few years, if

    youve taken out a mortgageor another consumer loan,youve probably welcomed thelow interest rates you mayhave received. But as aninvestor, if youve kept anyretirement savings in fixed-rateinvestment vehicles, you mayhave seen low rates in a lessfavorable light. And thats whyit may be time for you take acloser look at your financialstrategy for working towardthe retirement lifestyle youveenvisioned.

    Of course, you can always

    hope that interest rates will

    rise, and perhaps they will. Asyou may know, the FederalReserve has kept interest ratesat record lows in recent yearsto stimulate lending andthereby boost the economy.But rates cant get much lower,and if inflation were to heatup, the Fed could reversecourse by starting to raiserates.

    However, if youre going todo a good job of buildingfinancial assets for retirement,you really cant afford to playwait-and-see with interest

    rates. Instead, consider the

    following moves: Rebalance your portfolio.

    No matter what your situation,its a good idea to periodicallyrebalance your investmentportfolio to help ensure it stillreflects your risk tolerance,time horizon and long-termgoals. If youre concernedabout low rates harming yourfuture investment income, youhave more reason than ever toreview your portfolio andmake adjustments as needed,relative to your objectives. Forexample, if it seems that your

    portfolio has become over-

    weighted in any one vehicle,you may need to change yourinvestment mix, keeping inmind your individual risktolerance.

    Redefine retirement.Retiring from one careerdoesnt have to mean retiringfrom work altogether. If youdecide to work part time, dosome consulting or even openyour own small business, youmay be able to earn enoughincome to take some of thepressure off your investmentportfolio in terms of providingyou with the money you needto live on during retirement.

    Also, by working during yournominal retirement years, youmay be able to delay takingSocial Security until youre alittle older, when your monthlychecks can be larger. Review your withdrawalstrategy. During your retire-ment, the amount you chooseto withdraw from yourinvestments each year will

    depend on several factors,

    including the size of yourportfolio and the amount ofincome it is providing. As youchart your retirement strategy,youll need to factor in arealistic withdrawal rate.

    Half a million pounds offood collected during driveThe Fort Wayne area collected

    more food than any other Indianacommunity during the May 14 StampOut Hunger Letter Carriers FoodDrive, according to a press releasefrom the United Way of AllenCounty.

    Area residents contributed 534,373pounds of food during this yearsdrive. The Fort Wayne collectioneven surpassed the collection in Indi-anapolis.

    Im so proud of our letter carriers,our volunteers and all the local resi-dents who helped us provide foodthat is needed by so many of ourneighbors, Milton Gray, local chairof the Stamp Out Hunger LetterCarriers Food drive, said in a state-ment.

    The drive was important because ofthe poverty level being currentlyexperienced in the area.

    New census data shows that 14.6percent of Allen County residents live inpoverty - thats higher than the state andthe nation, CEO of United Way of AllenCounty Todd Stephenson said.

    The Stamp Out Hunger Letter CarriersFood Drive collected 70.2 million poundsof food nationally this year.

    employees know in advance whenClinton Street will be closed and whichstreets might work well as alternativeroutes to the center of the city.

    The other part of this is making surethat signage at key locations directsmotorists to their alternative routes, hesaid.

    Allowing half an hour of flex time inemployees schedules could enable themto travel to and from work a little beforeor after traffic in and out of the downtown

    area has peaked, Davis said. Specialpromotions also could be used to helpbring business downtown during theconstruction period, he said.

    There are some experiences you canhave downtown that you cant haveanywhere else, he said. We believewell make those experiences as attractive

    as possible, and regardless of the addi-tional time it would take to getdowntown, the quality of the experiencewill be first-rate.

    The Wells Street

    corridor just north ofdowntown Fort Wayne islined with businesses thathave long dealt with thesix-phase Ewing Streetstorm sewer project.Construction has made ittricky to access WellsStreet since January, whencrews began installing2,100 feet of reinforcedconcrete pipe on Ewingfrom Superior to Waynestreets. Road work onFourth Street has alsomade a common cut-through from ClintonStreet to Wells Streetunavailable to motoristswho normally travel theroute on lunch breaks.

    Restaurant managerAmanda Posey stoodbehind the counter of anempty Subway during arecent lunch hour. It was adeparture from the lunchrush Posey remembers atthe Goshen Road store shemanaged for eight years.

    Im not trying to bragor anything, but we wereNo. 1 for customerservice, so were notrunnin (customers) away,

    Posey said of low foottraffic at the Wells Street

    location.The new store opened

    two months ago. Despite aNow Open sign, acostumed employeepassing out samples and

    coupon campaigns,attracting business hasbeen slow going. WhilePosey admits being a newlocation and a strugglingeconomy are contributingfactors, road constructionhas not helped.

    Regular customers atKlemms Kafe havelimited their lunch hoursat the restaurant to once aweek, said manager SoniaHarter. With only a 30-minute lunch break, manycustomers told her roadconstruction makes itimpossible to travel to and

    from the restaurant with

    enough time to eat. Shestarted to notice the lunchcrowd drop in April.

    Youve got to keep inmind this is only a 40-seatrestaurant, so $100 is a lot

    of customers. We used tobe just slammed from 11to 12:30, but now its justsporadic, Harter said.

    At the north side of thecorridor is furniture resaleshop SAll Good. Storeemployee Susan Woodscompared 2010s April-May sales with the sametime this year, estimatingthey were down at least 50percent.
