The school attended by a 9-year-old girl who was brutally murdered around Christmas recently gathered to remember their former student and classmate with a new memorial garden. Holland Elementary School student Aliahna Lemmon was killed Dec. 22 by Michael Plumadore, 38, of Fort Wayne who had been caring for the third-grade girl while her mother was sick. “Like her classmates, she left school earlier that week probably looking forward to Christmas and all the joy and happiness that a child’s anticipation of this holiday brings,” Holland Principal J. Michael Caywood said at the dedication ceremony. “In place of that joy and

LLS Man and Woman of the Year named By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

Two local community leaders recently were named the Indiana Chapter, Northeast Branch of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man and Woman of the Year. Craig Vanderwall Jr., a Dupont-area resident and owner of General Petroleum, won the fundraising contest by a landslide by raising $48,000 during the 10-week time limit. “$48,000 was a record for a campaign team in this market under 35 years old,” Vanderwall said. “The closest number for a candidate and their team in the same market and age group was $18,000.” Vanderwall said he’d previously not volunteered with LLS, but after being asked and remembering loved ones and friends who have fought cancer, he decided to go for it. After assembling a team of 10 young business leaders in the city, Vanderwall said the group hit the ground running with a grassroots campaign including plenty of word-ofmouth campaigning, the use of electronic media and leveraging General Petroleum’s corporate clientele. “To me, it wasn’t about being named Man of the Year, it was about fun and raising money. It is never about the awards or accolades, it is about one life breathing easier because of the work we put in,” he said. Jill Sample, a Lincoln Village resident and sales executive at Granite Ridge Builders, was named the LLS Woman of the Year for raising $34,000 during the contest.

Although the expansion of the Parkview Family YMCA has been delayed a little bit, the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne still hopes to have the 8,000-square-foot addition and related renovation work completed this fall. The groundbreaking on the project is expected to occur by the end of June, about a month later than originally anticipated. The 70,000-square-foot facility on Dawsons Creek Boulevard, just off Dupont Road, was built to accommodate about 10,000 members. It has been serving about 18,000, said Nicole Liddell, the Y’s director of mission advancement. The timing of the proposed expansion of the facility, which opened in 2001, was expected to be contingent on fundraising, “but as we got into it we realized we needed to serve this community,” Liddell said. The organization decided to just go ahead with the $1.75-million expansion project. “We’re financing the whole thing, ultimately,” she said. The expenditure makes sense for the bottom line, however, because the Parkview Family YMCA’s strong membership numbers help support other YMCAs in parts of Fort Wayne that are not as thriving, Liddell added. The Parkview Family YMCA also will pick up about 3,500 square feet of space that has been leased to Parkview Health for a rehab unit. Parkview will move the physicaltherapy operation to Parkview Regional Medical Center in July.

WE’LL PUT YOUR MONEY TO WORK.

Receives $1,000 from Indiana Organ Procurement Organization By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

The students at Huntertown Elementary were awarded $1,000 from the Indiana Organ Procurement Organization for winning the Fort Wayne Mad Ants’ Get Fit Challenge. The Mad Ants mascot, presented the check to school principal John Mcleod and physical education teacher Terri Frank during a monthly all-school assembly. “We decided to do the (Get Fit Challenge) in the fall in conjunction with our all-school, 1-mile walk/jog. We thought it would be a neat extra incentive to get kids involved and emphasize the importance of healthy living all year long,” Mcleod said. The Get Fit Challenge is sponsored by the Fort Wayne Mad Ants as a way to encourage students — and their parents — to lead a healthy, active lifestyle, said Garrett Martz, director of corporate sponsorships for the Mad Ants. Sixteen schools in five area school districts competed in the challenge during the 2011-2012 school year, Martz said. Each school held a kick off, featuring The Mad Ant and the Mad Ants dancers who teach the students a short cheer along with other fun activities such as bike races with the gym teacher and basketball drills. Then, each student was challenged to keep active for 30 minutes each day for 30 days straight. Every

Huntertown Elementary School was named the winner of the challenge because it had the most students participate, giving the school the highest completion rate per student from all competing schools. Martz said approximately 90 students completed the program. “It was really great because the gym teacher, Terri Frank, didn’t know the school was getting the $1,000. The school was one of the first to sign onto the program, before the IOPO committed to the cash prize,” Martz said. This year marked the first time the Mad Ants partnered with an organization to offer a cash prize. Martz hopes to continue offering the prize as an incentive to the schools. Martz said the IOPO is a non-profit health service

Summer music theatre goes ‘Blonde’ Actors stage ʻLegally Blonde: The Musical” By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

Fourteen years ago Fort Wayne Summer Music Theatre was an idea in director Kirby Volz’s head. Today, the successful — and growing — program has a list of accomplishments to be proud of. “The program has grown in that our numbers have grown each year, but it also has to do with the types od shows we’ve been doing. When we started out, we did shows like ‘Hello Dolly!’ and ‘Grease,’ but I decided I wanted to do shows that present a challenge to kids that would be something they might not do at their own school,” said Volz. Today, Volz and music director Greg Vey have quite the list of shows under their belt. Vey joined the program and 2005 and the two have put together heavy-hitting shows like “Sweeny Todd” (twice), the school edition of “Rent,” “Titanic: A New Musical,” “West Side Story,” and “Aida.” “One of the underlying principles is to do shows that are challenging, A-list, award-winning shows,” Vey said. “We want both students on the stage and people in the audience to realize this isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill high school production.” Indeed, the actors chosen to portray Elle Woods and her band of bubbly friends come from all across the city, from a myriad of schools from Carroll and Northrop High Schools to Canterbury and Homestead High Schools. Students who are standouts in their individual school productions, and who are serious about the stage — as evidenced by giving up a large chunk of their summer to participate — routinely turn out to audition for the shows, which Vey said, sort of creates an “all-star cast.”

Fort Wayne Summer Music Theatre cast members practice a musical number from “Legally Blonde: The Musical” during a recent rehearsal at Williams Theatre on the campus of Indiana Univer sity-Purdue University, Fort Wayne. The summer troupe will perform July 12-15. “What ends up happening is that we get the top five or six actors from each high school who tend to be the cream of the crop,” Vey said. Some might think combining 60+ students from varied backgrounds and rival high schools would be a challenge. But for Volz and Vey, both accustomed to working with high school students in their former positions at North Side High School and Homestead High School respectively, it isn’t much different than a typical day surrounded by teenagers. “Really it isn’t different from working with teens in any setting,” Vey said. “All the actors have to agree to a certain set of standards and have to be willing to work. For the most part, there’s no drama.” Katie Reynolds, who plays lead Elle Woods, is an incoming senior at Carroll High School. Reynolds has been involved in Summer Music Theatre for three years and said she enjoys meeting new people and interacting with students from other high schools during the rehearsals.

“I like that (Summer Music Theatre) pulls from different areas with kids from all over,” Reynolds said. “This year we really hit it off. We spend so much time together that by the end of the show, we get to be friends.” Vey said the group even has quasi-official bonding events, from dinner and a movie to other outings — all with the aim of furthering the cohesiveness of the cast. It seems to work, Vey said, and the sense of camaraderie shows on the stage. “The group of kids we have are truly incredible, they enjoy coming to rehearsals and working together,” Vey added. “Legally Blonde: The Musical” will be performed at the troupe’s new home, Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne’s Williams Theatre, and is an approved Three Rivers Festival event. Shows will be July 12 at 7:30 p.m., July 13 at 7:30 p.m., July 15 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and July 15 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 each for adults, $7 for students. A $2 discount is available with a TRF button.

Parents interested in registering their child or children for this year’s VBS can contact the church at 490-7729 for registration information.

In addition, there will be volleyball, kids’ activities, hot dogs, chips and — of course — ice cream sodas. For more information, visit wallen.org or call 489-4942.

Eye health important

Take proper precaution to avoid cataracts Dr. Kara Heine Laughlin Grabill Eye Center

June is National Cataract Awareness Month. Cataracts are one of the most common eye health issues eliciting questions for eye doctors from patients. It’s likely because cataracts are quite common in many older adults. Cataracts are opacities, or cloudy areas, in the natural lens of the eye. This lens sits behind the colored part of the eye — the iris. The lens is responsible for focusing light through the pupil onto the retina. In younger people, this lens is flexible and adjusts to focus from distance to near objects.

Aging causes this to harden and the eye loses its ability to see things up close. Usually by a person’s mid-40s, bifocal lenses or reading glasses are necessary to compensate for this condition called presbyopia. Cataracts occur in this same area of the eye. According to Prevent Blindness America, “Cataracts affect nearly 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older.” Age is a big factor in the onset of cataracts. Most people in their 50s are starting to show signs of the most common type, nuclear sclerosis, a yellowing or browning of the lens. Cortical cataracts, which are cloudy spokes, and often start at the

edge of the lens and grow toward the center, also are more common the older one gets, although cortical cataracts also can happen to younger patients. Risk factors that can lead to cataracts at a younger age include: exposure to UV rays from the sun, smoking, diabetes, eye injuries and history of eye inflammation or other health conditions requiring long-term use of steroids in any form. The most common symptoms of early cataracts are blurry or cloudy vision, not seeing as well as before even in your best glasses, needing more light to read and a glare or halos

around lights — especially after dark. Unfortunately, there is no cure for cataracts, and outside of avoiding the risk factors mentioned above, there are no vitamins, drops or eye exercises that capable of improving the condition. Initially, the cataracts can change your glasses prescription, and symptoms often can be lessened by having the most up-to-date lenses and anti-reflective coatings in your glasses. The only real treatment is to have the cloudy lens surgically removed. However, most surgeons and insurances, including Medicare, will not cover the surgery until the cataracts are advanced

enough to warrant it. This can sometimes create a frustrating period for patients, even many years, where the vision is not as good as a patient may like, but is still not bad enough for the procedure. Your eye doctor can help you determine when you are ready for surgery.

Free summer program still accepting registrations Grissom Air Force Base, Indiana Wesleyan University, Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne and OmniSource are the planned destinations for students attending the Educational Opportunity Center’s annual summer program. This program answers a

definite need in the community, said Dr. Willa Kline, EOC executive director. “Kids too often forget what they have learned during the school year, or they have struggled with concepts we can help clarify in fun ways, and they often have too much time on their hands

without anything constructive to do. So, we’re very pleased we have the ability to offer this program,” Kline said. In addition to field trips for the Summer Stars — students in second through fifth grades — and the Summer Scholars — for students in middle and high school —

students will brush up on math, writing and reading, as well as practice skills in financial literacy. Summer Scholars also will focus on career choices. The program runs from June 18 through July 27. A few spots remain open. Parents can register their child by phone at

745-5421 or drop by the Educational Opportunity Center at 3000 South Wayne from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Center is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Education’s TRIO program as well as local foundations. In addition to the summer

program, Kline and staff provide ISTEP, SAT and ACT test preparation, career interest testing, college visits, financial aid filing assistance, ESL, GED and computer classes for adults as well as tutoring for students in elementary, middle and high school. All services are free.

pendent but very sweet, although she will need some time to warm up to new people and surroundings, but once she does, Mystic will give her new owners plenty of love and affection. Mystic prefers to be the only pet in the home and she is laid back and mellow. For a limited time, Mystic’s adoption fee is reduced by half with an approved application.

Pretty Polly Polly is a 1-year-old, spayed, black and rust miniature pinscher. She is a small dog looking for a friend to hang around with.

The camp, for students ages 812, runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. During the camp, the kids will learn a song and dance number from members of Minstrel Magic and Select Sound. The day of fun will help kids get an idea of whether they would like to pursue music as they move through elementary school into middle school. Also, it gives students a glimpse of the behind-thescenes activities as they put on a show choir show. Parents are invited to the school at 3:30 p.m. to watch as their students take the stage to perform the routines they’ve learned. The cost of the camp is

Car tips to remember How often should you have your oil changed? Once upon a time, having your oil changed every 3,000 miles was a hard and fast rule. Today? It’s not so black and white. Cars made in the last 10 years or so have improved oil chemistry and engine technology. Simply put, this means you can break the ‘ole 3,000-mile rule and still be just fine. In many cases, newer cars can go about 7,500 miles between oil changes. Many also come equipped with oil change indicator lights to let you know when it’s time for a change. Our service technicians, however, suggest you stick to a 3,000-mile schedule to maintain optimal engine performance. The good news? If you happen to be running a bit behind, it’s not that big of a deal. Your car will be just fine, and Don Ayres will gladly fit you into the schedule as soon as possible. Time for a trim down? Does your car need to

lose some weight? If you’re carrying around extra baggage, you could be paying more than necessary at the pump. A simple science lesson: Heavier cars consume more fuel, so if you want to burn less, you’ll need to lighten your load. That means it’s a good idea to pare down when you can. Taking a bunch of newspapers to the recycling bin? Go today. Don’t haul them around in your trunk for a week. The same goes for any other heavy load that may add excess weight to your vehicle. Keep this in mind, and you may even be able to go a tad longer between fill-ups. In the course of a year, these small differences can add up. This column is written by Don Ayres Honda blogger, mom of four and Odyssey driver Jennifer Hans.

“It was a blessing. We didn’t anticipate that,” Liddell said. The expansion will be built on the north and west sides of the current building. The new areas will include: men’s and women’s adults-only locker rooms; a high-intensity group workout studio; an expanded free-weights space; and an expanded sauna and a steam room. The renovated areas will include: an expanded lobby; expanded cardio, stretching and resistance areas; meeting rooms and a small public chapel.

GARDEN from page A1

spoken to others that demonstrated her kindness and concern for them.” The elementary school created a memorial garden in Lemmon’s name with a variety of flowering plants that will bloom in spring and fall. Their hope is the space will serve as a place to heal from the tragedy that gripped an entire community, as well as honor other children who have lost their lives. A reading bench and a boulder engraved with Lemmon’s name now sit at the center of the garden space in front of the elementary school. Former classmates, staff and members of the community covered the garden space with bubbles, something Caywood said signified releasing the fear and sorrow felt by all. Lemmon’s third-grade class, led by Shannon Harris, each participated in planting a dwarf lilac bush on the side of the school, serving as another way to remember their classmate. Holland Elementary has been raising funds since February to complete the project, which they see as a way to heal from the tragedy and keep Lemmon’s young spirit alive.

The Parkview Family YMCA will be the first in Fort Wayne to have a chapel, which will be nondenominational, but it is something that is becoming more common at YMCAs across the country, Liddell said. The construction bids on the expansion project actually came in a little lower than expected, at about $1.73 million. Ultimately, the YMCA also hopes to build a new facility on St. Joe Center Road, just west of Maplecrest Road, to take some of the load off the Parkview

Family YMCA. It has not yet begun the community meetings it wants to have to get input from area residents; nor has it launched a fundraising campaign. Some ground and infrastructure work has been done at the site in the last few months. The St. Joe Center Road YMCA will be the centerpiece of a 72acre, multiuse project being developed by Don Steininger, who also did the Chapel Ridge and Northbrook Village shopping centers. It is expected to include commercial outlots and housing.

Meijer Inc. plans to locate a 45,000-square-foot pharmacy fill center in Fort Wayne, bringing with it more than 30 full-time jobs, according to the Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance and a filing with the city. In an Economic Revitalization Area filing, Meijer said it will invest $10.3 million in an existing building at 1515 Profit Drive. The company said $2.3 million will be spent to refurbish the building and the rest will go toward equipment. The center, Meijer said in the filing, will prepare prescriptions on behalf of its retail stores. The city, WorkOne Northeast and the Indiana Economic Development Corp. have offered Meijer

an incentive package worth $1.2 million, according to the alliance. “I’m thrilled to see the creation of new jobs and yet another major investment in our community,� Mayor Tom Henry said in a statement. “When outstanding companies like Meijer make these commitments, it tells me the business community sees that Fort Wayne is indeed a city built for success.� Frank Guglielmi, spokesman for the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer, said: “We are pleased to continue to invest in the Fort Wayne community. Meijer currently has three stores in the Fort Wayne area, so we are familiar with the quality of the area and the work force, which made the decision very logical for us.�

Voices of Unity: More than just a choir By Valerie Caviglia pr@timespubs.com

In December of 2009, the World Choir Games were searching for an American group to represent the U.S. at the 2010 games in Shaoxing, China. Their hope was to find a team good enough to lobby for the U.S. to host the games in 2012. They called the Voices of Unity Youth Choir. “She said, ‘Well, I called you to see if your choir would be willing to go and represent the United States in China,’â€? said Marshall White, founder and CEO of Unity Performing Arts Foundation. “When she said that I went, ‘What, do what, go where?’â€? Seven months later, White and his group of youth singers found themselves on stage at the 2010 World Choir Games ‌ and they won. “That experience gave those kids tangible hope,â€? White said. “Hope to a lot of people is invisible — something you can’t see. Tangible hope is hope that you can experience. That’s what those kids received.â€? When he founded Unity Performing Arts Foundation in 1993, White’s goal was to fill an artistic void in the community. He felt strongly Fort Wayne’s community arts programs were not relevant to the younger generation and even more importantly, they weren’t attracting minorities. At the time, less than 3 percent of minorities took part in arts programs in Fort Wayne and Allen County, White said. “You have a whole culture of people who aren’t experiencing the arts. Jazz, blues, gospel, spirituals — none of that music is really a primary focus of the arts. It’s not in education, it’s not in school systems, it’s not in arts community programs.â€? What developed was what UPAF calls the “soulful art forms,â€? a

curriculum allowing young people to study mainstream music — rhythm and blues, gospel, pop, country. “Music they listen to on the radio,� White said. “They can come and study that music, perform it, learn the artist, study the history behind it and learn how to sing the styles of it. Our hope is to see that this becomes something in the educational structure, placed in universities, placed in school systems where there is a soulful music arts curriculum, just like classical music.� It may come as a surprise that Voices of Unity’s rehearsals are not entirely focused on singing. Students each have a binder to organize lessons in leadership development, music history and life — all of which White has incorporated to help students learn how to achieve their goals and promote diversity. Nine-year-old Camari McDavid, a third grader at Maplewood Elementary School, has been part of Voices of Unity for just one year. “At first, I didn’t even think I wanted to be in the choir, but after a year, it’s shown me how much I can learn from the older kids,� he said. From them, McDavid said he’s learned something very valuable, something that will one day help him become a chemist to find a cure for cancer. “I have to seize the opportunity instead of sitting there playing video games. I have to focus and pay attention more. Then when opportunity comes around, I can seize it and grab it and make something of use.� White said the Voices of Unity training is not just musical. “It’s mental, physical, artistic, emotional, spiritual,� White said. “There is so much more than singing happening here. People have no idea what we’re really doing here behind the scenes.� So much so, that some-

What is seen on TV — the singing, fundraising and excitement of the World Choir Games — is just the surface of an altogether bigger program. Out of six artistic arms of youth development, UPAF is actively pursuing two: choral music through the Voices of Unity Youth

World Choir Games win. To participate in this year’s games in Cincinnati, Ohio, the choir must raise $275,000, an amount White said they are more than halfway near reaching. “People are a lot more generous this time,� White said. “We’re not fighting the skepticism like we were two years ago. People tend to respond to the success of the previous

Choir and creative writing through a program called POP — the Power of Passion. “When we complete the vision, we will have public speaking, drama, dance and instrumental with a soulful orchestra,� White said. But that takes money. It may be a little easier to raise now that the Voices of Unity has earned more recognition with the 2010

attempt that we made to go to the games. The whole project is a lot easier.� This year, the Voices of Unity not only are in the spotlight as defending champions, but the choir also will sing during a Fourth of July-opening ceremony with Grammyaward winner Kirk Franklin, who wrote this year’s World Choir Games’ official song, “I Can.� It was only a few weeks earlier White said how amazing it would be to sing with the renowned artist, even though the Voices of Unity already has been asked to sing during the closing ceremony. White said that demonstrated a life lesson they teach during rehearsals — to visualize achievements and believe it can happen. They even have a motto: “I can, I know I can, so I will.� “That’s not just a phrase to these kids. They live that,� White said. “We speak what it is that we want to achieve and look what happened.�

The Three Rivers Festival will be back with a bang on Friday, July 13, when the city is overrun with festival events, Junk Food Alley vendors and music galore. According to Jack Hammer, festival director, plenty of fan favorites will return to the festival in its 44th year, such as the downtown midway with rides for all ages, the festival parade, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art’s Chalk Walk and famed competitions like the Waiter and Waitress Contest and the annual Bed Race. “People kind of hang their hats on the festival favorites like the parade, which will be one of the biggest we’ve ever had,” Hammer said. “We are excited about other things like Junk Food Alley — I hear that German chocolate funnel cakes are all the rage this year.” New and emerging events also will be plentiful. Events such as the river games on July 21 are

The Northrop High School marching band, the Big Orange Pride, marches in the 2011 Three Rivers Festival parade. The 2012 parade is sponsored by Lutheran Health Network this year and the parade theme is “Community Legends and Landmarks.” emerging as new favorites with canoe races and water balloon wars. Twosdays, where tons of things are just $2, will be back on July 17 and Hammer even said the festival committee is testing the waters with a zipline. “It won’t be like the one at the Super Bowl Village, but it will be a couple hundred feet long,” Hammer said. One thing is for sure, though, woven throughout the festival will be plenty of music. Tribute bands will be

abundant with ZOSO: The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience kicking off the festival concert series on July 13. Bruce in the USA: The World’s #1 Tribute to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform on July 14 in a Salute to the Troops concert in a Headwaters Park transformed red, white and blue.

The band Brother will perform July 17 with Phil’s Family Lizard opening the show. In addition, Casey James — an “American Idol” contestant — will sing a series of country songs on July 19 with local band Sugar Shot as the opening act. Tons of other musical acts are scheduled throughout the week, too, Hammer said. “We want to make the festival a party — and music is part of that party,” Hammer said noting the festival committee works hard to keep costs low. “We want to bring you a huge party and keep the prices down.” In addition to ticketed concerts, several free events will take place, Hammer said. The Clean Comedy for Kids event will be presented by Snickerz Comedy Club, The Shade Jonze & Friends will provide music and fun for the entire family on July 21, followed by Pop n’ Fresh, a talented family performing a variety of sing-along songs.

Sample, who previously battled cancer twice, said volunteering for cancer-related charities is important to her. She also currently volunteers for Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana. Sample had been asked to be a candidate for LLS Woman of the Year once before and declined. But, after her latest battle with cancer, she decided to take the plunge when she was asked again. Sample and her team organized events — such as the St. Patrick’s

Day event at Checkerz Bar and Grill — and Sample sent out more than 900 requests for support to friends, family and business colleagues. “I sent out letters and emails and I have a lot of supportive and giving friends and people who donated,” Sample said. “We raised the money one dollar at a time.” Vanderwall and Sample both said they couldn’t have accomplished the feat without the extremelysupportive Fort Wayne community.

“Our community is very giving, almost to the point of being overwhelming,” he said. “Not just one life will be impacted by the generosity of the community, but more.” Together, the six Man and Woman of the Year candidates raised $144,000 — a record year for the local chapter of LLS, which funds ground-breaking research seeking cures and better therapies for blood cancers, the third leading cause of cancer deaths.
