Music is a staple atevery worship service atSt. Joe United MethodistChurch. But, on May 6the music was a littledifferent when more than20 violinists from Fair-field Elementary Schoolstopped by to show offtheir skills.

“They did a terrificjob,” said St. Joe UMCPastor Russ Abel. “It wasincredible to see whatthose kids were able toaccomplish.”

The students are part ofa violin program at Fair-field, headed by musicteacher Leanna Wilson.

Wilson has beenteaching for 15 years andplaying the violin andpiano since she was 4years old. She eventeaches lessons from herhome throughout theweek.

“Playing piano andviolin is a passion ofmine,” Wilson said. “Iwanted to share that loveof something beautifulwith my students and Ialways thought it wouldbe neat to start a violinprogram in a publicschool.”

So she did.The initial program

began as a pull-outprogram at Irwin Elemen-tary School before Wilsonbegan working at Fair-field. When she arrived atFairfield three years ago,

she found several violinsand began offering theprogram to third-, fourth-and fifth-grade studentsthrough basic, groupviolin lessons using theSuzuki method.

“It was more of a violin

experience,” Wilson said.“They learned to touch,feel, hold and take care(of the violin).”

Some really took to thestringed instrument andWilson decided to offer anopportunity to the fifth-

grade students to playseveral songs.

Wilson administered asimple test to each inter-ested student and thosewho scored well wereasked to sacrifice recesstime to practice. Sincethen, the students havelearned several songs andperformed at venues suchas Glenbrook Mall, theschool’s musical and SaintJoe United MethodistChurch.

“(Fairfield) has anongoing relationship withthe church and when theyasked us to perform, wesaid ‘Absolutely,’” Wilsonsaid.

Wilson said she hasreally encouraged the chil-dren to stick with theirmusical gifts throughmiddle and high school.No matter what instru-ment the children decideto play in the future,Wilson said, the skillsthey learn in the violinprogram will benefit themthe rest of their lives.

“Learning how to readmusic, how to perform infront of people and thediscipline and intrinsicmotivation to do some-thing like this teachesthem so much more thanhow to play the violin,”Wilson said.

Abel said the churchwas more than happy tohave the students playduring worship serviceand the congregationlooks forward to a returnperformance some day.

“It just goes to showwhat happens whensomeone believes in thechildren they teach,”Abel said. “We arethrilled at the thought ofhaving them back some-time.”

Divas dashing for a cause

On Saturday, June 16,more than 200 women willconverge on GeorgetownSquare for the secondannual Diva Dash — a 5Krun solely for the ladies.

Race organizer SharonChristian said the eventwill combine running andfundraising, with allproceeds from the racebeing donated to theNational OsteoporosisFoundation, which esti-mates more than 200million women suffer fromthe disease.

“Women are the mainsufferers of osteoporosisand you need healthybones to be a good runner,”Christian said.

Women develop osteo-porosis more often becausethey begin with lower bonedensity than men. To top itoff, women lose bone massmore quickly as they age.The National OsteoporosisFoundation estimates theaverage white woman losesone-third of her hip bonedensity between the ages of20 and 80, compared toonly one-fourth loss formen.

Last year’s race nettednearly $4,600 for theNational OsteoporosisFoundation with 261 regis-tered runners. Christiansaid this year’s event is onpace to top the 2011 race.

“We are doing reallywell right now, and antici-pate having even morerunners this year,” she said.

The event is sponsoredby Georgetown Curves,whose owner, CaseySanserino, put up much ofthe funds to cover overheadcosts, Christian said. Evenwith several sponsors thisyear, Sanserino — andCurves International —have stepped in again tomake the race the best itcan be.

“(Curves) is stillspending money this year,

because we are making therace a lot better,” she said.

Improvements includechip timing, sparklier tiarasfor more winners andwomen’s shirts — asopposed to the unisexversions from 2011, Chris-tian said.

Christian said organizershave stepped up the gamewith the “Diva” theme, too.From awarding tiaras to 29winners and handing outpink feather boas at thefinish line.

“We’re really playing upthe girly theme,” Christiansaid.

Christian also said thelocal Georgetown Squaremerchants have been verysupportive of the event.Businesses like George-town Bowl will open itsrestroom facilities torunners, Dicky’s Wild Harewill provide post-race food,Kroger has providedoranges and several havechipped in items for doorprizes. In addition, bonedensity screenings andblood pressure readingswill be available forrunners and spectatorsduring and after the race.

The race will begin at 8

a.m. with registrationbetween 6:15-7:15 a.m.Registration is $25 perrunner and each willreceive a goody bag and aT-shirt. Christian said mostraces discourage registra-tions the day of the event.The opposite is the case forthe Diva Dash.

“All the money goes to agood cause, so we want asmany people as possible toregister and take part,”Christian said.

Registration forms areavailable online at runrace.net or at the George-town Curves or ThreeRivers Running Co.

In December of 2009,the World Choir Gameswere searching for anAmerican group to repre-sent the U.S. at the 2010games in Shaoxing, China.Their hope was to find ateam good enough tolobby for the U.S. to hostthe games in 2012.

They called the Voicesof Unity Youth Choir.

“She said, ‘Well, I calledyou to see if your choirwould be willing to go andrepresent the United Statesin China,’” said MarshallWhite, founder and CEOof Unity Performing ArtsFoundation. “When shesaid that I went, ‘What, dowhat, go where?’”

Seven months later,

White and his group ofyouth singers found them-selves on stage at the 2010World Choir Games …and they won.

“That experience gavethose kids tangible hope,”White said. “Hope to a lotof people is invisible —something you can’t see.Tangible hope is hope thatyou can experience. That’swhat those kids received.”

When he founded UnityPerforming Arts Founda-tion in 1993, White’s goalwas to fill an artistic voidin the community. He feltstrongly Fort Wayne’scommunity arts programswere not relevant to theyounger generation andeven more importantly,they weren’t attractingminorities. At the time,less than 3 percent ofminorities took part in artsprograms in Fort Wayneand Allen County, Whitesaid.

“You have a wholeculture of people whoaren’t experiencing thearts. Jazz, blues, gospel,spirituals — none of thatmusic is really a primaryfocus of the arts. It’s not ineducation, it’s not inschool systems, it’s not inarts community programs.”

What developed waswhat UPAF calls the“soulful art forms,” acurriculum allowing youngpeople to study main-stream music — rhythmand blues, gospel, pop,

country.“Music they listen to on

the radio,” White said.“They can come and studythat music, perform it,learn the artist, study thehistory behind it and learnhow to sing the styles of it.Our hope is to see that thisbecomes something in theeducational structure,placed in universities,placed in school systemswhere there is a soulfulmusic arts curriculum, justlike classical music.”

It may come as asurprise that Voices ofUnity’s rehearsals are notentirely focused onsinging. Students eachhave a binder to organize

lessons in leadership devel-opment, music history andlife, all of which White hasincorporated to helpstudents learn how toachieve their goals andpromote diversity.

Nine-year-old CamariMcDavid, a third grader atMaplewood ElementarySchool, has been part ofVoices of Unity for justone year.

“At first, I didn’t eventhink I wanted to be in thechoir, but after a year, it’sshown me how much I canlearn from the older kids,”he said. From them,McDavid said he’s learnedsomething very valuable,something that will oneday help him become achemist to find a cure forcancer. “I have to seize theopportunity instead ofsitting there playing videogames. I have to focus andpay attention more. Thenwhen opportunity comesaround, I can seize it and

This year’s ice creamsocial, scheduled for June16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.at Grace Point Church ofthe Nazarene, 8611Mayhew Road, will kickoff the organization’s fifthyear with entertainment,games and — of course— free ice cream fromEdy’s.

“We see this event as acelebration of the successof Kate’s Kart as well as acelebration of Kate,”Krista Layman said.

As in years past,Layman said, the carnivalrides, inflatables, gamesand live entertainment stillare free. In addition,Madeline’s Toy Box willperform, Indiana Wild will

put on a magic show andRonald McDonald will beon the scene, too.

But, Layman said, thisyear’s social will combinefun and fundraising, asshe hopes to raise morethan $5,000 through thesale of food, such as hotdogs and popcorn, and anon-site Scholastic bookfair.

Kate’s Kart will receive40 percent of the proceedsfrom the sale, which willbe used to purchase morebooks. Layman said theorganization gives awaybetween 1,200 and 1,400books each month and hasracked up a total of40,000 books handed outover its four-year history.

A Fund A Need boothwill be set up this year,which will list variousitems the organizationneeds — from $5 for fivepacks of crayons to bepassed out with coloringbooks to $90 for onemonth’s storage rental —with the hope somedonors will be able to givebeyond the book fair.

“The proceeds from the

ice cream social will helpus purchase quality, enter-taining books that are ableto provide a little bit of adiversion to kids in thehospital,” Layman said.

Summer might havecome a bit early this year— due to the recentstreaks of 90-degree days.And with it, ice cream andfrozen yogurt dives noware in full swing. Formany — myself included— hot weather leads tocravings for all-things icecream.

about this cold treat thatmakes everything right inthe world on a hot day.

So the questionbecomes: How is one toindulge while maintaining— or working towards —a lean figure? Here aresome ideas plus a deli-cious recipe to keep youon track when faced withthis summer temptation.

• Keep bags of frozenfruit on hand from thelocal grocery store. Pour

some out into a small cupand suck on them for arefreshing sweet treat.

• Top plain yogurt withfresh or frozen fruit and ateaspoon of honey. Add abit of unsweetened,shredded coconut for atropical twist.

• Make a simplesmoothie. Combine 1 cupof your favorite frozenfruit with one-half cup ofplain yogurt, about one-half cup of milk or water

— more or less dependingon how thick you like it— and a dash ofcinnamon. Blend untilsmooth and enjoy.

• Make the following“ice cream” recipe (makesabout 3 ½ cups):

Ingredients1lb frozen strawberries

or substitute your favoritefrozen fruit of choice

1 cup 2 percent plainGreek yogurt

½ tsp. vanilla extract

Tips to beat the ice cream cravings

Eye health importantTake proper precaution to avoid cataracts

June is National CataractAwareness Month.Cataracts are one of themost common eye healthissues eliciting questionsfor eye doctors frompatients. It’s likely becausecataracts are quite commonin many older adults.

Cataracts are opacities,or cloudy areas, in thenatural lens of the eye.This lens sits behind thecolored part of the eye —the iris. The lens is respon-

See EYE, page A7

Page 7: St. Joe Times - June 2012

sible for focusing light through the pupilonto the retina.

In younger people, this lens is flexibleand adjusts to focus from distance to nearobjects. Aging causes this to harden andthe eye loses its ability to see things closeup. Usually by a person’s mid-40s, bifocallenses or reading glasses are necessary tocompensate for this condition called pres-byopia. Cataracts occur in this same areaof the eye.

According to Prevent BlindnessAmerica, “Cataracts affect nearly 20.5million Americans age 40 and older.” Ageis a big factor in the onset of cataracts.Most people in their fifties are starting toshow signs of the most common type,nuclear sclerosis, which is a yellowing orbrowning of the lens.

Cortical cataracts, which are cloudyspokes and often start at the edge of thelens and grow toward the center, also aremore common the older one gets, althoughcortical cataracts also can happen to

younger patients.Risk factors leading to cataracts at a

younger age include: exposure to UV raysfrom the sun, smoking, diabetes, eyeinjuries and history of eye inflammation orother health conditions requiring long-termuse of steroids in any form.

The most common symptoms of earlycataracts are blurry or cloudy vision, notseeing as well as before even in your bestglasses, needing more light to read andglare or halos around lights — especiallyafter dark.

Unfortunately, there is no cure forcataracts, and outside of avoiding the riskfactors mentioned above, there are no vita-mins, drops or eye exercises capable ofimproving the condition.

Initially, the cataracts can change yourglasses prescription, and symptoms oftencan be lessened by having the most up-to-date lenses and anti-reflective coatings inyour glasses.

The only real treatment is to have the

cloudy lens surgically removed. However,most surgeons and insurances, includingMedicare, will not cover the surgery untilthe cataracts are advanced enough towarrant it. This can sometimes create afrustrating period for patients, even manyyears, where the vision is not as good as apatient may like, but is still not bad enoughfor the procedure. An eye doctor can helpdetermine when someone is ready forsurgery.

If you feel you are experiencing thesymptoms of cataracts, or if you are inyour 50s or older and it has been more

than a few years since your last eye exam,schedule an appointment with an eyedoctor. You also can visit preventblind-ness.org or allaboutvision.com for moreinformation on cataracts or other eyediseases.

Intergalactic Toys making news, movesOwner named Young Entrepreneur of the Year, store moves to larger location

As a teen, Michael Schott alwaysknew he’d own his own businesssome day. Today, 29-year-old Schottowns and operates Intergalactic Toys,which recently moved to its thirdlocation in four years.

“This will be the third time we’vemoved in 19 months,” Schott said.“We just got too busy and didn’thave enough space. I just keepmoving as I grow.”

Intergalactic Toys has grown quitea bit in just over four years, fromSchott’s basement to a new 3,000-square-foot facility at 2614Maplecrest Road.

Schott said the beginning wasn’talways easy — working part-time

jobs to earn money so all the Inter-galactic Toys’ profits could bere-invested into the store. But,through a process of “trail and error,”Schott said he’s feels he’s continuingto move in the right direction.

Schott said the store, which sellspremium entertainment and pop-culture collectibles, has had suchsuccess due to its uniqueness andability to find its niche — selling notonly to Fort Wayne residents, but tocustomers around the world.

“Because we buy, sell and trade,our inventory is constantly changingand is unique,” Schott said. “We alsohave a wide-range of items, fromvintage to new. The market here ispretty solid and we try to custom-tailor what we order based on that.”

Schott has grown his business so

much that he has been named theYoung Entrepreneur of the Year, astate-wide award bestowed by theIndiana District Office of the SmallBusiness Administration. Schottaccepted the award in IndianapolisJune 5.

“I think the honor is great. I am soblessed to have people around mewho support me, from my family tomy customer to my friends with tonsof expertise,” Schott said.

In five years, Schott said, he seesIntergalactic Toys with a full-timestaff, a vast inventory and a main hubin Fort Wayne with several satellitestores in other markets throughoutthe Midwest.

“I’d like to break into Indy ormaybe Chicago and go from there,”he said.

grab it and make some-thing of use.”

White said the Voices ofUnity training is not justmusical. “It’s mental,physical, artistic,emotional, spiritual,”White said. “There is somuch more than singinghappening here. Peoplehave no idea what we’rereally doing here behindthe scenes.”

So much so, that some-times White wishes theword “choir” weren’t partof the Voices of Unityname. What is seen on TV— the singing, fundraisingand excitement of theWorld Choir Games — isjust the surface of an alto-gether bigger program.Out of six artistic arms ofyouth development, UPAFis actively pursuing two:choral music through theVoices of Unity YouthChoir and creative writingthrough a program calledPOP — the Power ofPassion.

“When we complete thevision, we will have publicspeaking, drama, danceand instrumental with asoulful orchestra,” Whitesaid.

But that takes money. Itmay be a little easier toraise now that the Voicesof Unity has earned morerecognition with the 2010World Choir Games win.

To participate in thisyear’s games in Cincinnati,Ohio, they must raise$275,000, an amountWhite said they are morethan halfway nearreaching.

“People are a lot more

generous this time,” Whitesaid. “We’re not fightingthe skepticism like wewere two years ago.People tend to respond tothe success of the previousattempt that we made togo to the games. Thewhole project is a loteasier.”

This year, the Voices ofUnity not only are in thespotlight as defendingchampions, but the choiralso will sing during aFourth of July-openingceremony with Grammy-award winner KirkFranklin, who wrote thisyear’s World ChoirGames’ official song, “ICan.”

Kim Mann, artistic coor-dinator at Interkulture,which organizes the WorldChoir Games, told theentire group in a surpriseannouncement duringrehearsal.

It was only a fewweeks earlier White saidhow amazing it would beto sing with therenowned artist, eventhough the Voices ofUnity already has beenasked to sing during theclosing ceremony. Whitesaid that demonstrated alife lesson they teachduring rehearsals — tovisualize achievementsand believe it canhappen. They even havea motto: “I can, I know Ican, so I will.”

“That’s not just a phraseto these kids. They livethat,” White said. “Wespeak what it is that wewant to achieve and lookwhat happened.”

The Georgetown Farmers Market isn’t going anywhere, but it is shifting locations within the shoppingcenter parking lot due to renovations at the former Georgetown Square movie theater.

www.StJoeTimes.com • A11St. Joe Times • June 8, 2012

Almost

Georgetown Donuts.“I can’t believe how

many new vendors I’vegotten this year. I bet I’vegotten 12 new vendors,”said Maureen Partee ofGeorgetown Square Shop-ping Center.

The farmers marketcontinues to generate alot of interest from localfarmers and entrepre-neurs because of itslow-risk opportunity tosell products and thisyear, people aren’t lettingthat opportunity passthem by.

“We’re very afford-able,” Partee said. “We’rejust doing it for a commu-nity service and to bringpeople out to George-town. It’s nice for the

vendors. A lot of themhave gotten their start atthis market because theythink it’s not much of arisk to try it.”

Partee tried to modelGeorgetown FarmersMarket after another thatquickly became herfavorite. She found it on atrip to the lake with herfamily. That market’smotto was “Grow it,make it, or bake it.”

“It’s not all thingspeople make themselves,but a lot of it is. It’speople that have theirown little dream and it’slike, where else are yougoing to do it? Try it outhere,” Partee said.

And that they are. Thisyear, the variety and

range of produce andproducts is bigger thanever. Several vendors willsell local produce, on topof other vendors offeringhomebaked goods, candy,caramels, fudge, localhoney, soaps, lotion,candles, jewelry, uniquegifts and even homemadetreats for the family dog.

While the market maybe growing and changing,Partee said it’s still thesame fun, family-friendlyway to spend an after-noon.

“The community hasreally embraced it andsupports it,” she said.

Georgetown FarmersMarket is open Thursdaysthrough Sept. 13 from 4to 7 p.m.

anniversary of FortWayne’s relationship withits first sister city,Takaoka, Japan, and therecent addition of a fourthsister city, Taizhou, China.

“I’ve been looking forthe opportunity to do morepublic art since I retired,”Morrison said. “I wantedto do something local andto be involved with peopleI know in the my commu-nity.”

Morrison struggled withhis design concept formore than six weeks,attempting to create some-thing within thecommittee’s theme,“Flight of Friendship.” Hesaid he altered his designseveral times.

Until one day, it hit him.“When I got away from

trying to visibly representeach city, I startedthinking more about theflight aspect of it,”Morrison said. “I began tothink of the flight conden-sation left in the sky byplanes.”

His design features fourhorizontal bands, madefrom polished, stainlesssteel, each representingone of Fort Wayne’s sistercities — Takaoka, Japan,Gera, Germany, Plock,Poland, and Taizhou,China. The bandssymbolize the condensa-tions trails left behind byairplanes traveling to andfrom Fort Wayne fromeach of the cities.

Intertwined between thefour bands is a curvier

band, which representsFort Wayne and the way itweaves all the citiestogether.

He called the piece“Flights of Friendship:Weaving Cultures.”

Morrison submitted hisproposal and it was chosen

as one of four finalists.Eventually the otherartists’ designs were elimi-nated, leaving Morrison asthe winner of the competi-tion.

He currently is workingwith Precision Fabrica-tions to pre-fabricate the

bands for assembly inearly fall.

Morrison said each bandwill include the name ofits representing city, inboth English and thenative tongue at either endof the bands, as well as themonument’s title in the

major building renovations. Jehl saidleveling out the theater’s slanting floorswas a huge expense and to make ithappen, they needed to find the rightretailer.

Dollar General Corporation saw thevacant theater as a solution to growingpains at its 3121 E. State Blvd. location.By moving to the 9,200-square-footspace, Dollar General would nearlydouble in size. Both GeorgetownMembers LLC and Dollar GeneralCorporation agreed to share the costs ofthe renovation and once it is completemid-summer, Dollar General will moveits store across the street. Dollar General

Corporation was unable to provide a datefor the store’s grand reopening.

“Dollar General is an excellent store tohave in the shopping center because itbrings in lots of shoppers and the DollarGeneral is even giving Walmart a run fortheir money right now in terms of popu-larity,” Jehl said.

As for the Georgetown Theatres signthat Cunningham once proudly parkedunder in his Valiant convertible, it will beremoved to make way for signagepromoting other Georgetown Squarebusinesses. At the time of the interview,the shopping center had no plans in storefor the old sign.

room Dancing also will be on hand to move and grooveto the music, Partee said.

The series first was envisioned over a year ago whenPartee and other merchants were looking for events toconnect families to the shopping center. Several otherconcerts previously had rocked Georgetown Square andmerchants felt a summer concert series on the last Fridayof each month from June through August would be perfect.

The series was awarded several grants and ParkviewHospital recently signed on as the series’ title sponsor.Partee said the grant and sponsor funds assist George-town Square with paying the bands, purchasing agenerator if needed, hiring security and other overheadcosts — all to keep the event free to the public.

Georgetown Square merchants also will be on hand tosell food and drinks. Subway and Bandido’s will provideboth alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for purchase andboth will offer food for a small fee.

“Georgetown already does a lot of community service,and this is just another way to support our area,” Parteesaid.

The series will continue with Junk Yard Bandperforming July 27, with an “old time rock ‘n’ roll”theme and Sugar Shot rocking the stage on Aug. 24, witha country-themed concert and barbecue.

Concerts will take place rain or shine, with the eventsmoving indoors to Georgetown Bowl during inclementweather.

Chairs and blankets are welcome, but coolers will notbe admitted.

Other series sponsors include Arts United, GeorgetownSquare, Georgetown Little League and the HuiskingFoundation.
