More than just a choir
Aboite mom featured on ‘The Dr. Oz Show’
By VALERIE CAVIGLIA pr@timespubs.com
By Nichole Hacha-Thomas
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,’” said Marshall White, founder and CEO of Unity Performing Arts Foundation. “When she said that I went, ‘What, do what, go where?’” 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,” White said. “Hope to a lot of people is invisible — something you can’t see. Tangible
community programs.” What developed was what UPAF calls the “soulful art forms,” 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
Aboite Township resident Emily Boller is used to getting recognition for her extreme weight loss — more than a whopping 100 pounds in one year. But, even her latest escapade has left her speechless. Boller recently was flown to New York, N.Y., by the famed Dr. Mehmet Oz to tape her success for an episode of “The Dr. Oz Show” for the world to see. Courtesy photo “I’m 51 years old and Boller I’ve done a lot of stuff, but this was over-the-top,” Boller explained. Boller gained the opportunity early in May, when she found out Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Eat to Live program would be featured on Oz’s show. A mass email was sent to all those who had lost a significant amount of weight by using Eat to Live. Each was asked to submit their weight-loss story to be reviewed by Oz’s team for potential use on-air during Fuhrman’s segment. “It was like pins and needles waiting on them to select the people,” Boller said. Boller got the call Tuesday, May 15 that she was one of three women chosen to tell their story on national TV. She flew to New York City on May 17 and taped

That’s what those kids received.” 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

Students enrolled in Canterbury High School’s drivers’ education program experienced first-hand the effects of texting and driving on May 25. Packed into the school’s meeting room, the students listened to a press conference unveiling McMillen Center for Health Education’s new Don’t Text and Drive program, which will build on Parkview Trauma Center’s current DTAD programming with a 45minute interactive video session.

Food: The common denominator What is the common denominator in almost every social event or gathering? Food. This is something we have become accustomed to culturally and these commonalities unite us. Relationships are created and cultivated by ‘sharing a meal.’ The problem is that the expectation for food has spilled over into other realms and our children are becoming accustomed to having food associated with almost everything they do. My kids play various sports, and after every game they are rewarded with a sugary snack and drink. Why encourage our kids to be active and glean all the benefits of physical activity and then nullify the experience by giving them sweets. It’s a confusing message. In most situations where kids are gathered, whether it be school, nurseries, day cares or otherwise, usually there is a snack involved. The problem is these snacks tend to be processed and laden with carbohydrates and sugars and really are just perpetuating our problems with childhood obesity and nutrition. We just assume they won’t eat and don’t like healthy

foods, and these processed snacks are quick, easy and cheap. I ran into a situation earlier this year where I was asked to provide goldfish and pretzels to fill the snack closet in my daughter’s class. I wrestled with the fact that I don’t buy these snacks at home. How could I buy them to feed my daughter and many other kids at school? I contacted the teacher and explained this to her and we came up with some healthy alternatives. She was very interested in learning more about processed foods and the short-term and long-term effects they have on our kids behavior and health. Effects from trouble focusing and paying attention to increasing their risk for diabetes and obesity. We came up with a list of healthy snacks for parents to send instead. Some examples included vegetables such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and sugar snap peas along with hummus, all natural peanut or almond butter and ranch dressing for dipping. We included a variety of fruits, trail mix, popcorn and dried fruits. She reported back to me that the kids are devouring these healthy

Making master bedrooms your sanctuary What’s the ambiance you dream of for your bedroom? Romantic with pretty colors, patterned walls and a delicately carved bed? Country casual with a graphic hooked rug, a quilt on an antique bed with a rustic blanket chest? Something dreamy and tranquil with a watery palette and shimmering surfaces? However you answer, decide upon the palette and style which creates the bedroom you long for, where you can refresh and nurture yourself. Try not to make your master bedroom too multifunctional. It’s a really important part of life — sleeping and dreaming — the bedroom is a very sacred space. A small bedroom will be intimate; you can make it cozy too, by softening it with textiles, pattern and wellchosen accessories. But, if you get carried away with your decorating, a small room may end up feeling crowded. If your bedroom is large, you can enjoy its capaciousness, or make it feel more intimate by zoning it — say with a sitting area or a place for making coffee — and by using a bed that won’t be lost in the large area,. Draperies at the windows, and perhaps a

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 a big 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, which may add excess weight to your vehicle. Keep this in mind, and you may even be able to go a tad longer between fillups. 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.

529 Plan Can Help with College Funding and Estate-planning Considerations Now that another school year is drawing to a close, your young children are a step closer to the day when they’ll be heading off to college. Of course, as you’re probably aware, higher education doesn’t come cheap — and the costs seem to continuously climb. You can help your children — or even your grandchildren — meet these expenses by investing in a 529 plan. And this college savings vehicle offers estate-planning benefits. As a college funding vehicle, a 529 plan offers some significant benefits. When you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings accumulate tax free,
provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes. However, 529 plans vary, so be sure to check with your tax advisor. And the lifetime contribution limits for 529 plans are quite generous; while these limits vary by state, many plans allow contributions well in excess of $200,000. Plus, a 529 plan is flexible: If the child,
grandchild or other beneficiary decides against college, you can transfer the unused funds to someone else, tax and penalty free. Now, let’s turn to a 529 plan’s estate-planning benefits. If you think that you may need to reduce the size of your taxable estate, and you also want to create a legacy you may be able to enjoy during your lifetime, you may find that the 529 plan offers a solution for you. When you establish and contribute to a 529 plan, the assets leave your estate — but they don’t leave your control. If your named beneficiary decides against college and you don’t
have another family member to whom you can transfer the account — or if you simply change your mind about funding the 529 plan — you can get your money back at any time, although, as mentioned above, you’ll have to pay taxes, and possibly a 10% IRS penalty, on the earnings. Your contributions to a 529 plan also qualify for the $13,000 annual gift tax exclusion, so you can give large amounts each year without incurring the gift tax. In the investment world, you can find many vehicles that can help you make progress toward one goal. But it’s far less

common to find something that may give you a boost toward two. And when the two goals are helping a child or grandchild go to college and lowering the value of your taxable estate — while still maintaining control of your assets — you’ve got an investment worth considering. So consult with your tax and financial advisors to determine if a 529 plan is right for you. And if it is, think about taking action soon, because the more years you can contribute to a 529 plan, the better the outlook for both your future student and your estate plans. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors are not estate planners and cannot provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your estate-planning attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

A temporary home By VALERIE CAVIGLIA pr@timespubs.com
Adelaide, a fragile but sweet feline at the Allen County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), has been lovingly cared for by staff and volunteers since her owner was forced to surrender her in December. The shelter has tried to make the cat’s temporary home a comfortable, happy place. “Adel’s” tiny, 1-year-old heart has a condition that likely will end her life by the age of 3. Cardiomyopathy makes her heart beat rapidly when she feels stress, which can make it difficult for Adel to breathe. Although there is medication available, there is no cure for her condition. But, the ASPCA feels strongly that there is a perfect home for Adel in Fort Wayne — and staff members are doing all they can to find just the right place for her. This is what they do. Special needs animals or those facing euthanasia are evaluated by the ASPCA to ensure they are a good fit for the program. Then the ASPCA takes them in, working diligently to find the animal its forever home while keeping the facility clean,

Also pictured at left is ACSPCA Medical Team Captain Tanya Gallo. organized and most of all, a safe haven for animals who may otherwise be put down. The care they provide isn’t only for animals. Special considerations have been made for owners forced to give up their beloved pets. Sofia Rodriguez, executive director of the ASPCA, said when she started in 2010, a woman visited the shelter, distraught she had to give up her dog. Her family’s economic and living situations had changed, and a new landlord had rescinded permission to keep pets at their new home.
“I will never forget her,” Rodriguez said. “Her landlord originally said that she could have (a dog) and then two weeks later told her she couldn’t. She was just at her wits end. I thought, ‘If someone is trying to do the right thing, I want them to have as much privacy as possible.’ She was the reason I went to Habitat for Humanity and bought these cubicles.” Now, the cubicles act as an enclosed “intake area,” providing families with more privacy during a difficult time. See HOME, page A12
Participants receive help from a Life Coach to work on soft skills like communication, social skills, and professionalism that are often barriers to employment for individuals with developmental disabilities. A Business Developer will seek meaningful job training opportunities that best fit participant wishes.

CHOIR from page A1 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 sometimes White wishes the word “choir” weren’t part of the Voices of Unity name. 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 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 World Choir Games win. To participate in this year’s games in Cincinnati, Ohio, they 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 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.” Kim Mann, artistic coordinator at Interkulture, which organizes the World Choir Games, told the entire group in a surprise announcement during rehearsal. 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.”

Tips to keep your berries fresh Strawberries and raspberries are in full bloom at Tanglewood Berry Farm, 2427 South Hadley Road. Camille Cupa, grower and manager, and Margy Hooker, market master, say berries are highly perishable and need special handling to main-
tain their freshness. Some of Cupa and Hooker’s tips to keep your berries fresh include: 1) Berries should be dry, not wet or leaking from their package. 2) When storing, don’t crowd the berries. 3) It is best to store
berries unwashed in the container you bought them in. 4) Wash immediately before serving. 5) If you pick your own, store them in a large bowl, or spread out on a platter. 6) All berries freeze well. Lay berries in a
single layer on a tray and put in the freezer. When frozen, place into freezer bag. Visit Hooker’s blog at margyhookerfarmtofork. blogspot.com for a list of health benefits and recipes for fresh strawberries and raspberries.

Try yoga for the office Yoga isn’t just about escaping into a room where they lock you in for 75 minutes of pure bliss to move through the stretches, the breaths, the candlelight with no bosses, no “i-this” or “e-that” to distract you as you move and groove your way to enlightenment. Let’s get real, not all of us have 75 minutes six days a week to leave our deadlines, families and daily grind behind. Does that mean our health should be sacrificed? Absolutely not. Yoga is about integrating a holistic routine into our day. It begins with awareness, breath and movement. Here are a few quick tips to become a Yogi right at your desk. Tip 1: Grounding: Sit in an upright position with the natural curves of the spine, feeling tall but not rigid. Bring your awareness into your feet. Firmly plant them on the floor. Feel the entire rooting into the earth. Breath a short body scan up your body. Feeling sensation in your feet, your calves, knees, top of the legs, hips, spine. Continue to feel whatever it is that you are feeling as you scan upward to the arms, shoulders face and crown of the head. Try not to react to sensations, rather label them as tension, relaxation, asymmetry, balanced. After moving throughout the physical body begin to notice the breath. Become aware of your breath patterns as they are, without reacting to what exists in the moment. Tip 2: The Belly Breath: Belly to chest breathing

can be a quick way to calm anxiety while making the body more alkaline and increasing vitality — all at the same time. Sitting tall, begin to feel the breath starting at the belly as it expands outward toward your desk. Then feel it move up to your neck and collar bones. On the exhale, feel the breath soften at the collar bones, the ribs, feeling the navel move toward the spine like you are McGuire cinching up your belt as the waist contracts. Repeat for 30 seconds to two minutes throughout the day. Tip 3: Head and Neck Series: The more we lean into our computers the more our shoulder girdle and neck muscles have to work to hold our head, which weighs approximately the amount of a bowling ball. This can cause chronically stressed muscles and head tension in the upper body. Try the following series a couple times a day at your desk for about 30 seconds, matching your breath with these movements. • Vertical Movement: Inhale as you look toward the ceiling. Exhale as you look toward the floor while you shake your head “yes.” Pay attention to the back of your neck. • Horizontal Movement: Exhale as you look over one shoulder. Inhale back

to the center and then exhale over to the other side, like you are shaking your head “no.” Only turn your head as far as is comfortable. You may notice one side is tighter than the other due to the positioning of things on your desk. It may be useful to move your most used items around from time to time to combat this. • Tilting Movement: As you exhale drop your ear towards one shoulder and then inhale back to neutral. Repeat on the other side. • Shoulder Shrug: As you inhale, bring the shoulders back behind you, then inhale back up creating a circle with the shoulders moving up, back and down. At the end let the arms fall and shake them around. • Downward Facing Wall Hang: You may have heard of the down dog in class. If you have your own office or a little room to your self you can stand at the wall about arm distance away. Press your hands into the wall just a little higher than where your hips are. Lean and slightly engage the core as you press and feel your spine strengthen and lengthen. Be warned, once you start practicing and making this a regular part of the day, you may start to feel so good you’ll be attending a yoga class. Lastly, greet everyone at work with a namaste’, a common greeting in the yoga community meaning “the good in me, sees and acknowledges the good in you.” It is sure to make for a brighter day. Dani McGuire, yoga therapist, teacher and Ayurvedic health educator, is the founder of Pranayoga school of yoga and health and Pranayoga foundation, a nonprofit that teaches yoga to people with cancer and chronic illness.

A reason to consider water’s true value What product represents the best consumer value in America? At less than 1 cent per gallon, I submit fresh drinking water not only is the most indispensable commodity in America, it clearly is our nation’s best bargain. Last month, the American Water Works Association sponsored National Drinking Water Week, as it does each May, which calls attention to a resource Americans have the luxury of taking for granted. Unlike many western states, we in the Midwest are blessed with ample supplies of water. However, we can’t escape the escalating cost of processing water and wastewater in compliance with tougher EPA regulations. Aqua Indiana has invested millions of dollars upgrading purification, distribution and waste-processing

The result of these investments is cleaner wastewater effluents and improved water quality at the tap. Aqua Indiana’s investment included introduction of water softening and other steps that change the mineral content of our tap water. These changes can affect the taste of the water, and in that regard we are pleased to report positive results.

Twenty six percent preferred the City of Fort Wayne’s tap water. While taste is important, water quality obviously is the most critical concern. And on that count, Americans are fortunate, indeed. After all, when was the last time you drew tap water and seriously considered whether it could be a risk to your health? Chances are the thought seldom crosses your mind anywhere in the United States.

how texting effects your ability to concentrate on driving,” said Canterbury’s college counselor Dennis Eller. Eller said the subject of distracted driving is one close to his heart. His brother was killed as a teenager when he was a passenger in a car and the driver became distracted. “It only takes one moment. Driving demands your full concentration,” Eller told the students. Programs like McMillen’s will allow Parkview to spread the DTAD message further — across the nation, said Frances Brooks, McMillen’s director of marketing. The traditional Parkview program combines statistics, and a speech from a law enforcement officer regarding the legal ramifications of texting while driving. The program also features a parent who has lost a child because of texting while driving.
Brooks said that session is effective — to the masses. McMillen’s new program, though, will be hands-on and interactive and it will be able to be delivered to a class or two — or more — at a time, anywhere in the world. “It is our goal to have kids participate and be engaged in the sessions no matter where they live,” Brooks said, noting McMillen currently delivers other programming to 30 states and four Canadian provinces through interactive video sessions. Two Canterbury students tested McMillen’s proposed simulator, which still is being designed. A female student took the wheel while holding a calculator in one hand with a male classmate quizzing her on complex math facts. The driver was charged with answering the questions correctly, while driving — and stopping. The driver blew past several
stop lights during her simulation and answered only 12 of 16 questions correctly. “The goal of the simulation is to show kids the difference between driving impaired and not,” Eller said. “We all drive, and we can almost tell anymore when someone is texting and driving. They’re speeds are different, their lane usage is different.” McMillen program developer Linda Hathaway said the programs — both Parkview’s and McMillen’s — aim to teach young drivers an important lesson before it is too late. “This is a great opportunity to do some education across the nation. Our goal is to make this program as usable and relevant to teen drivers. It gives them a chance to experience the magnitude of their actions without suffering the dire consequences.”

her segment the next day. Boller said the trip was a whirlwind, but a wonderful one. She was picked up by a driver at the airport, transported to a swanky downtown Manhattan hotel and delivered to the studio the next day where she was pampered by hair and make-up artists. “I really felt a little like Cinderella,” Boller said. Boller had to sign a medical consent form to allow Oz’s staff to verify her previous medical conditions and she was weighed just prior to shooting the segment to ensure the accuracy of her story. “Success stories on the Dr. Oz show have to be true successes,” she said. Neither Oz or the studio audience was able to see Boller until she walked out onto the stage — after they all were shown the before photo of her weighing 238
pounds. Boller said Oz and his staff were kind and comforting, especially when she drew a blank while filming. “It happened so fast, my heart was just beating, I am not even sure what I said,” Boller said. “But, Dr. Oz and everyone was so kind and accommodating.” Through it all — Boller was back in Fort Wayne by May 19 — she said her favorite part of the trip was the realization that she would soon be the inspiration for thousands of others who are struggling with weight issues. “It was like, ‘I lost this weight, now I get to inspire all the women who tune in.’ How cool,” Boller said. Boller’s “The Dr. Oz Show” episode will air between June 6 and June 8 in its normal time slot at 4 p.m. locally.

Kate’s Kart kicking off fifth year with ice cream Event combines fun, fundraising By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
Each June 26, the Layman family — mom Krista, dad Andy and brothers Seth and Grant — eats ice cream to celebrate the birthday of their daughter and sister
10 most needed books 1. Any Dr. Seuss Book 2. Interactive books for special needs 3. Teen romance books 4. “Guinness Book of World Records” or Kids Almanac 5. Princess books 6. Mysteries (Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew) 7. Timeless read-aloud books 8. “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series 9. Popular character books (SpongeBob, Cars, Dora the Explorer, etc.) 10. Any board book To donate a new book, visit Kate’s Kart online kateskart.org for a list of drop-off locations. To make a monetary donation, send checks to Kate’s Kart, 429 E. Dupont Road, #119, Fort Wayne, IN, 46825. Donations also are accepted online at kateskart.org.
Kate, who passed away in 2008 at the age of 18 months due to a genetic heart defect. The Laymans also are the founders of Kate’s Kart, an organization which provides new books to children in the hospital. The project, started in June of 2008 with the goal of serving one Fort Wayne hospital. Four years later, there are Kate’s Karts full of books in 16 hospitals across the state from Fort Wayne to Muncie to Angola to Portland. In 2009, the Laymans invited the community to eat ice cream with them at Kate’s Kart’s annual ice cream social. The event has grown ever since, serving 800 bowls of the icy treat at the 2011 event. This year’s ice cream social, scheduled for June 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Grace Point Church of the Nazarene, 8611 Mayhew Road, will kick off the organization’s fifth year with entertainment, games and — of course — free ice cream from Edy’s. “We see this event as a celebration of the success of Kate’s Kart as well as a celebration of Kate,” Krista Layman said. As in years past, Layman said, the carnival rides, inflatables, games and live entertainment still are free. In addition, Madeline’s Toy Box will perform, Indiana Wild will put on a magic show and Ronald McDonald will be on the scene, too.

The Layman family celebrates with Ronald McDonald at the 2 011 Kate’s Kart Ice Cream Social. This year’s event will feature live music, games, a book fair and — of cour se — free ice cream. But, Layman said, this year’s social will combine fun and fundraising, as she hopes to raise more than $5,000 through the sale of food, such as hot dogs and popcorn, and an on-site Scholastic book fair. Kate’s Kart will receive 40 percent of the proceeds from the sale, which will be used to purchase more books. Layman said the organization gives away between 1,200 and 1,400 books each month and has racked up a total of 40,000 books handed out over its four-year history.
A Fund A Need booth will be set up this year, which will list various items the organization needs — from $5 for five packs of crayons to be passed out with coloring books to $90 for one month’s storage rental — with the hope some donors will be able to give beyond the book fair. “The proceeds from the ice cream social will help us purchase quality, entertaining books that are able to provide a little bit of a diversion to kids in the hospital,” Layman said.
YWCA elects first male board member

“100 Good Men” are honored by the YWCA Northeast Indiana during a pre-game ceremony at Parkview Field.
The YWCA Northeast Indiana elected their first male board member Monday during their annual meeting. Larry Wardlaw of Asher Agency was elected to the board after YWCA Northeast Indiana petitioned its national parent organization for rights to change its bylaws allowing male board members. YWCA USA granted the agency’s petition. Agency bylaws now allow for up to 40 percent of the YWCA board to be occupied by male members. Currently, Wardlaw also is the only male board member in Indiana, and only one of four male board members in the YWCA Great Lakes region. Also at the meeting, the agency announced this year’s Peggy Hobbs Award recipient. Jennifer Manning was recognized for years of volunteer service for the Community Harvest Food Bank, Fresh Food Initiative, and Catherine Kasper Place’s refugee garden. Manning was nominated by Holly Chaille and Tammy Klimek.
YWCA searching for ‘100 Good Men’ Award supports domestic violence The YWCA Northeast Indiana wants to honor a few good men. Those who feel it’s time for the man in their life to get some recognition are encouraged to nominate him for the YWCA 100 Good Men Night at Parkview Field. The YWCA will honor 100 winning nominees on Friday, July 13, during a pre-game ceremony. The organization said it’s looking for
male role models who maintain healthy relationships with their families and encourage peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. The nomination process includes a small donation to YWCA Northeast Indiana to support domestic violence programs. One of the 100 Good Men honorees will have the chance to throw the first pitch in the Tincaps
game as they take on the Beloit Snappers at 7:05 p.m. Nominees will receive an invitation and complimentary ticket to the July 13 game, which will also feature cartoon characters and fireworks. Online nomination forms and details are available on the YWCA’s website at ywca.org/NEIndiana. The nomination deadline is Tuesday, July 3.

Stop worrying about grades, enjoy life Q: Our ninth-grade son always manages to get A’s and B’s on his report card, but just before the report card comes out, his grades take a complete dive. Should we punish him for this or just accept this imperfection? A: Your son obviously is smart enough to know that if he coasts the last couple of weeks of the grading period, he’s still going to make good grades. He’s like the runner who’s way out in front and knows he’s going to win the race, so he gives less than his “all”

Rosemond on the final stretch. My feeling about this is that you should just, as you put it, accept this little imperfection. It’s not going
to impact his chances of going to a decent college (and all this agony over one’s child getting into the “right” school is a waste of emotional energy, anyway). When he’s in a more competitive environment, where his performance does affect something significant, like his chances of going to, say, medical school, I predict he’ll step up to the plate and knock the ball out of the park. Take a deep breath. Relax. Do yourself a favor and stop all the monitoring. It’s only detracting
from your ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Q: Her teacher just informed me that my daughter frequently says things that hurt the feelings of other girls in her class. For example, when recess is over, she will turn to another child and say, “We’re going back in because of you.” When someone raises her hand in class, my daughter might say, “You don’t know that answer!” She’s also told girls that she won’t be their friend if they don’t give her things or do things for her. What could be causing this? How do you suggest we handle this? The principal wants to call a meeting to discuss it. A: I have to wonder why the teacher and principal waited nearly the entire school year to inform you
of this problem. At this point in the school year, assuming your daughter has a typical summer break, I think you can probably sit on her hard enough to stop this, but I don’t think you can sit long enough at this point to prevent the problem from recurring when school starts back in August. As for why it’s happening, that’s anyone’s best guess. Children don’t need to be having problems to become a problem. I think any attempt to discover the psychological root of the problem is going to be a dead end. The other girls are going to pull back from her eventually, but that’s probably just going to make matters worse. So, sit! Make her stop before this develops into serious a
social problem. Develop some simple means of obtaining feedback from the teacher at the end of every school day. One incident means she’s confined to her room after school and goes to bed immediately after supper, which should end no later than 6:30 p.m., even if you need to move it up. Mind you, ONE incident, no matter how “serious,” is enough to merit confinement and early bedtime. Anything less than a notolerance policy isn’t going to be worth the effort.

The award was presented this week by the John Philip Sousa Foundation at the school.

Civics, constitution among focus of ‘We The People’ By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net
Students in Shelly Sinclair’s fifth-grade class at Aboite Elementary School recently delved into the U.S. Constitution and other civics lessons as part of the “We The People: The Citizen and the Constitution” program. Sinclair said the program’s purpose is to get young people engaged and involved in government. The class began learning about the country’s founders and its mostimportant documents a few months ago. From learning about the historical origins of government to digging deep into the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment, each activity built upon the students’ previous knowledge. The five-unit curriculum taught the students about the Framers, the Articles of Confederation and the process of writing the Constitution and continued through the branches of
government to the meaning of being a good citizen. Sinclair said the program is very advanced for fifthgrade students, going more in-depth than the traditional social studies lesson. “There is so much involved in the program: reading, research, finding great quotes, writing, oral presentations, editing,” Sinclair said. During a look at the Electoral College, a group of students noticed inequities in the system — noting California had the largest number of electoral votes, yet one of the smallest percentages of voter turnout. The students wrote letters to their U.S. Senators and U.S. House of Representatives with the idea electoral votes be tied to voter turnout numbers. “These are fifth graders, who came up with this amazing solution to a question that stumps adults,” Sinclair said. To cap off the in-class learning, Sinclair’s class — and 11 others in the area — took part in simulated Congressional
hearings at the University of Saint Francis on May 11. Sinclair said the class was divided into groups and given an open-ended question about the Constitution. The groups then developed answers to the questions and rehearsed a six-minute response. The students presented their responses during a 10minute hearing in front of a panel of judges made up of local attorneys, teachers, professors and others. The judges quizzed the students on their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and took on the role of members of Congress while listening to the prepared presentations. Judges evaluated each group on how well the students demonstrated their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles while evaluating, taking and defending positions on historical and contemporary issues. Following the prepared

Meeting with a judge from the panel, from left, are Corey Balkenbusch, Katie Beier and Shelby Clausen. statement, the adults and students carried out a question-and-answer segment on related topics. Each unit was scored on its performance and awards were given for the day. Sinclair’s class received a superior rating, the highest possible. Sinclair said it was interesting watching her students apply the informa-
tion they had learned in the classroom. “Every year they just amaze me,” Sinclair said. “This program honestly takes the place of any
social studies book. When I see some of those kids get involved in the program, I think ‘They are the future of our country.’”

Face First Therapeutic Skin Studio opens Though the saying goes “put your best foot forward,” it is your face and not your foot people notice first. Tina Thieken, proprietor of Face First Therapeutic Skin Studio, recently opened her studio in Roanoke at 150 E. 2nd St. with this in mind. Thieken said she has a desire to provide skin care at an affordable price. A self-described science “guru,” Thieken was fascinated with anatomy and physiology which began her study of dermatology. Soon after, she decided to pursue skin care in an effort to help others. Thiekin feels she truly can help make a difference in someone’s life — espe-
cially teenagers with acne. “How (teenagers) feel about themselves has a lot to do about how they look. Skin care has a lot to do about psychology as well,” Thieken said. Thieken served in the U.S. Air Force for 24 years, an experience she loved and misses. She said her Face First mission isn’t much different than the mission of the military — to serve. “The military is about helping and serving others, about doing something bigger than you. When I hung up my uniform I looked for something that would continue to give me that sense of accomplishment and the ability to make a
difference in others’ lives,” Thieken said. She feels she is doing so with her skin care business. Thieken’s studio offers facials, microderm abrasions, chemical peels and body treatments including collagen induction therapy and other procedures. Each Tuesday she features dental whitening at half price and Wednesdays boasts half off on waxing procedures. Appointments can be made by calling 3489245. A special open-house event is planned at Face First Therapeutic Skin Studio on Saturday, June 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

tional pieces of art. I love to fix things,” Anderson said. Originally starting her shop in the basement of her home in 2000, Anderson quickly outgrew the space. She now is excited to be located in downtown Roanoke, more specifically inside Carroll’s Flooring store. A go-getter, Anderson loves working with a variety of mediums and objects including wood, metal, fabric and “just about anything.” Anderson said she likes to let the object “speak to her” before deciding what it becomes. She will recycle, renovate, reuse and reinvent — like taking a large knotty piece of wood and turning it into a very large Santa Claus.
Anderson transforms vintage records into yard art and antique tin ceiling tiles into a clock face and old linoleum patterns. Shabby chic, cottage chic, primitives and actual antiques all are in the mix at the Silk Purse, Anderson said. The shop is the kind of shop that begs your return and the need to visit often, because one never knows what new item Anderson may have made or brought into the shop, she said. Anderson will move her wares outside for Roanoke’s Antique and Art Fair on June 16. Silk Purse’s regular hours are Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
