Georgetown Theatres undergoes retail renovation By VALERIE CAVIGLIA pr@timespubs.com

In June 1971, hot pants became a fashion icon, John Lennon and Yoko Ono were knee-deep in anti-war propaganda, “The Ed Sullivan Show” said goodbye after 23 years on the air and Georgetown Theatres sold its first-ever movie ticket. The theater’s location at 6414 E. State Blvd. was prime real estate, visible to all who drove by, which worked favorably for Keith Cunningham and his buddies, then teenagers who lived near Georgetown Square. “We saw many a movie there,” Cunningham said. He recalled a date night at the theater with one girl in particular. “… My date just may have been a little out of my league. (My friend) and I both were doing our best to try to impress the girls, and as such, we drove my convertible and parked it prominently right out front under the theater sign for all to see as they passed on East State Boulevard.” Back then, it was the only place on that side of Fort Wayne to catch a movie for miles, which is partly why Arthur Spirou said he opened the venue at Georgetown

Square. “It was a needed facility in that part of the city,” he said. “It was very busy. The seating capacity was 351 on one side and 250 on the other and those could very well have been completely filled every Saturday night.” Through the years, MallersSpirou Management Corp. owned not only Georgetown Theatres, but five others: Coventry theater on Coventry Lane, Holiday 1 & 2 and Holiday 6 at Coliseum Boulevard and Clinton Street, Clyde Theater on Bluffton Road, and the Rialto on South Calhoun Street. Georgetown Theatres would be turned over to new management four times in the years that followed, beginning in 1993 when Regal Cinemas bought out Spirou’s entire theater circuit. “We were in the amusement business. We had bowling centers and restaurants and we were just retiring,” Spirou said. “The opportunity came to sell to a company that could do a good job with the property, so that’s what we did.” Regal Cinema eventually closed the movie theater in the early 2000s. It later reopened as Fort Wayne Dollar Movies, but by

Youth violinists play for St. Joe UMC By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

Music is a staple at every worship service at St. Joe United Methodist Church. But, on May 6 the music was a little different when more than 20 violinists from Fairfield Elementary School stopped by to show off their skills. “They did a terrific job,” said St. Joe UMC Pastor Russ Abel. “It was incredible to see what those kids were able to accomplish.” The students are part of a violin program at Fairfield, headed by music teacher Leanna Wilson. Wilson has been teaching for 15 years and playing the violin and piano since she was 4 years old. She even teaches lessons from her home throughout the week. “Playing piano and violin is a passion of mine,” Wilson said. “I wanted to share that love of something beautiful with my students and I always thought it would be neat to start a violin program in a public school.”

Students from Fairfield Elementary School play their violins during the May 6 worship service at St. Joe United Methodist Church. So she did. The initial program began as a pull-out program at Irwin Elementary School before Wilson began working at Fairfield. When she arrived at Fairfield three years ago,

she found several violins and began offering the program to third-, fourthand fifth-grade students through basic, group violin lessons using the Suzuki 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 the stringed instrument and Wilson decided to offer an opportunity to the fifth-

grade students to play several songs. Wilson administered a simple test to each interested student and those who scored well were asked to sacrifice recess time to practice. Since then, the students have learned several songs and performed at venues such as Glenbrook Mall, the school’s musical and Saint Joe United Methodist Church. “(Fairfield) has an ongoing relationship with the church and when they asked us to perform, we said ‘Absolutely,’” Wilson said. Wilson said she has really encouraged the children to stick with their musical gifts through middle and high school. No matter what instrument the children decide to play in the future, Wilson said, the skills they learn in the violin program will benefit them the rest of their lives. “Learning how to read music, how to perform in front of people and the discipline and intrinsic motivation to do something like this teaches them so much more than how to play the violin,” Wilson said. Abel said the church was more than happy to have the students play during worship service and the congregation looks forward to a return performance some day. “It just goes to show what happens when someone believes in the children they teach,” Abel said. “We are thrilled at the thought of having them back sometime.”

Divas dashing for a cause

WE’LL PUT YOUR MONEY TO WORK.

nthomas@kpcnews.net

On Saturday, June 16, more than 200 women will converge on Georgetown Square for the second annual Diva Dash — a 5K run solely for the ladies. Race organizer Sharon Christian said the event will combine running and fundraising, with all proceeds from the race being donated to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, which estimates more than 200 million women suffer from the disease. “Women are the main sufferers of osteoporosis and you need healthy bones to be a good runner,” Christian said. Women develop osteoporosis more often because they begin with lower bone density than men. To top it off, women lose bone mass more quickly as they age. The National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates the average white woman loses one-third of her hip bone density between the ages of 20 and 80, compared to only one-fourth loss for men. Last year’s race netted nearly $4,600 for the National Osteoporosis Foundation with 261 registered runners. Christian said this year’s event is on pace to top the 2011 race. “We are doing really well right now, and anticipate having even more runners this year,” she said. The event is sponsored by Georgetown Curves, whose owner, Casey Sanserino, put up much of the funds to cover overhead costs, Christian said. Even with several sponsors this year, Sanserino — and Curves International — have stepped in again to make the race the best it can be. “(Curves) is still spending money this year,

A runner crosses the finish line, festively decorated in pink, at the 2011 Diva Dash, sponsored by Georgetown Curves. The 2012 race will be held June 16. because we are making the race a lot better,” she said. Improvements include chip timing, sparklier tiaras for more winners and women’s shirts — as opposed to the unisex versions from 2011, Christian said. Christian said organizers have stepped up the game with the “Diva” theme, too. From awarding tiaras to 29 winners and handing out pink feather boas at the finish line. “We’re really playing up the girly theme,” Christian said. Christian also said the local Georgetown Square merchants have been very supportive of the event. Businesses like Georgetown Bowl will open its restroom facilities to runners, Dicky’s Wild Hare will provide post-race food, Kroger has provided oranges and several have chipped in items for door prizes. In addition, bone density screenings and blood pressure readings will be available for runners and spectators during and after the race. The race will begin at 8

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 hope is hope that you can experience. 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 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,

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.

Kate’s Kart kicking off fifth year with ice cream By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

Each June 26, the Layman family members — mom Krista, dad Andy and brothers Seth and Grant — eat ice cream to celebrate the birthday of their daughter and sister, 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 who are 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

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.

Tips to beat the ice cream cravings Summer might have come a bit early this year — due to the recent streaks of 90-degree days. And with it, ice cream and frozen yogurt dives now are in full swing. For many — myself included — hot weather leads to cravings for all-things ice cream. Whether it comes in a cup, cone or smothered as a delicious sundae feast, there is just something

about this cold treat that makes everything right in the world on a hot day. So the question becomes: How is one to indulge while maintaining — or working towards — a lean figure? Here are some ideas plus a delicious recipe to keep you on track when faced with this summer temptation. • Keep bags of frozen fruit on hand from the local grocery store. Pour

some out into a small cup and suck on them for a refreshing sweet treat. • Top plain yogurt with fresh or frozen fruit and a teaspoon of honey. Add a bit of unsweetened, shredded coconut for a tropical twist. • Make a simple smoothie. Combine 1 cup of your favorite frozen fruit with one-half cup of plain yogurt, about onehalf cup of milk or water

— more or less depending on how thick you like it — and a dash of cinnamon. Blend until smooth and enjoy. • Make the following “ice cream” recipe (makes about 3 ½ cups): Ingredients 1lb frozen strawberries or substitute your favorite frozen fruit of choice 1 cup 2 percent plain Greek yogurt ½ tsp. vanilla extract

Directions: In a food processor, pulse 1 cup of the strawberries until finely chopped. Transfer chopped berries to a large metal bowl. Add yogurt, vanilla and remaining strawberries to the food processor and blend until well combined. Transfer to the bowl with chopped strawberries and stir until well combined. Cover and freeze about one hour until firm but not hard. Dish it up or scoop into a cone and enjoy. On your next shopping trip, make sure to stock up on the above ingredients and avoid putting a tub of ice cream in your cart. If you don’t bring it into your home, it won’t make its way into your mouth. Until next time, happy healthy munching.

sible 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 close up. 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 fifties are starting to show signs of the most common type, nuclear sclerosis, which is 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 leading 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 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 capable of improving the condition. Initially, the cataracts can change your glasses prescription, and symptoms often can be lessened by having the most up-todate 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. An eye doctor can help determine when someone is ready for surgery. If you feel you are experiencing the symptoms of cataracts, or if you are in your 50s or older and it has been more

than a few years since your last eye exam, schedule an appointment with an eye doctor. You also can visit preventblindness.org or allaboutvision.com for more information on cataracts or other eye diseases. This is a guest column.

Intergalactic Toys making news, moves Owner named Young Entrepreneur of the Year, store moves to larger location By Nichole Hacha-Thomas nthomas@kpcnews.net

As a teen, Michael Schott always knew he’d own his own business some day. Today, 29-year-old Schott owns and operates Intergalactic Toys, which recently moved to its third location in four years. “This will be the third time we’ve moved in 19 months,” Schott said. “We just got too busy and didn’t have enough space. I just keep moving as I grow.” Intergalactic Toys has grown quite a bit in just over four years, from Schott’s basement to a new 3,000square-foot facility at 2614 Maplecrest Road. Schott said the beginning wasn’t always easy — working part-time

jobs to earn money so all the Intergalactic Toys’ profits could be re-invested into the store. But, through a process of “trail and error,” Schott said he’s feels he’s continuing to move in the right direction. Schott said the store, which sells premium entertainment and popculture collectibles, has had such success due to its uniqueness and ability to find its niche — selling not only to Fort Wayne residents, but to customers around the world. “Because we buy, sell and trade, our inventory is constantly changing and is unique,” Schott said. “We also have a wide-range of items, from vintage to new. The market here is pretty solid and we try to customtailor what we order based on that.” Schott has grown his business so

much that he has been named the Young Entrepreneur of the Year, a state-wide award bestowed by the Indiana District Office of the Small Business Administration. Schott accepted the award in Indianapolis June 5. “I think the honor is great. I am so blessed to have people around me who support me, from my family to my customer to my friends with tons of expertise,” Schott said. In five years, Schott said, he sees Intergalactic Toys with a full-time staff, a vast inventory and a main hub in Fort Wayne with several satellite stores in other markets throughout the Midwest. “I’d like to break into Indy or maybe Chicago and go from there,” he said.

You are cordially invited to the golf event of the season. With a nod to outings past, this year’s Chamber Classic stays with one flight, features lunch, beverages and fewer interruptions on the course, and includes an award reception to follow. At just $125 per member and $150 per nonmember for the day, this is an outing you won’t want to miss. With one full flight starting at 11 a.m., you are assured the opportunity to meet and mingle with all of the golfers participating.

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.”

The Georgetown Farmers Market isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going anywhere, but it is shifting locations within the shopping center parking lot due to renovations at the former Georgetown Square movie theater.

MARKET from page Georgetown Donuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how many new vendors Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten this year. I bet Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten 12 new vendors,â&#x20AC;? said Maureen Partee of Georgetown Square Shopping Center. The farmers market continues to generate a lot of interest from local farmers and entrepreneurs because of its low-risk opportunity to sell products and this year, people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t letting that opportunity pass them by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very affordable,â&#x20AC;? Partee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just doing it for a community service and to bring people out to Georgetown. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice for the

A1 vendors. A lot of them have gotten their start at this market because they think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much of a risk to try it.â&#x20AC;? Partee tried to model Georgetown Farmers Market after another that quickly became her favorite. She found it on a trip to the lake with her family. That marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grow it, make it, or bake it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all things people make themselves, but a lot of it is. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people that have their own little dream and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, where else are you going to do it? Try it out here,â&#x20AC;? Partee said. And that they are. This year, the variety and

range of produce and products is bigger than ever. Several vendors will sell local produce, on top of other vendors offering homebaked goods, candy, caramels, fudge, local honey, soaps, lotion, candles, jewelry, unique gifts and even homemade treats for the family dog. While the market may be growing and changing, Partee said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still the same fun, family-friendly way to spend an afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community has really embraced it and supports it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Georgetown Farmers Market is open Thursdays through Sept. 13 from 4 to 7 p.m.

ES Arc is excited to announce the new J-Top Program. The Job Training Opportunity Program changes the look of employment for individuals ages 1421 with developmental disabilities. The program works to match individuals with disabilities to job training opportunities, such as internships, job shadowing, etc, while working in collaboration with local employers. 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. The program also offers a career match software from the Autism Society of Indiana, CareerAllyÂŠ, to scientifically match participantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge, skills and abilities with businessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs, wants and desires. ES Arc recruits and educates participating businesses and acts as a liaison between participants and the co-workers, helping to resolve work-related problems and issues as they arise. If your business would like to learn more about partnering with Easter Seals Arc to provide meaningful, vital and necessary job training opportunities to individuals with developmental disabilities, please call the Business Developer, Valerie Potchka, at 1.260.456.4534 ext. 337 or vpotchka@esarc.org.

major building renovations. Jehl said leveling out the theater’s slanting floors was a huge expense and to make it happen, they needed to find the right retailer. Dollar General Corporation saw the vacant theater as a solution to growing pains at its 3121 E. State Blvd. location. By moving to the 9,200-square-foot space, Dollar General would nearly double in size. Both Georgetown Members LLC and Dollar General Corporation agreed to share the costs of the renovation and once it is complete mid-summer, Dollar General will move its store across the street.

Corporation was unable to provide a date for the store’s grand reopening. “Dollar General is an excellent store to have in the shopping center because it brings in lots of shoppers and the Dollar General is even giving Walmart a run for their money right now in terms of popularity,” Jehl said. As for the Georgetown Theatres sign that Cunningham once proudly parked under in his Valiant convertible, it will be removed to make way for signage promoting other Georgetown Square businesses. At the time of the interview, the shopping center had no plans in store for the old sign.

The Dollar General store located across the street from Georgetown Square has plans to move into the former Georgetown Theatres when renovations are complete mid-summer.

anniversary of Fort Wayne’s relationship with its first sister city, Takaoka, Japan, and the recent addition of a fourth sister city, Taizhou, China. “I’ve been looking for the opportunity to do more public art since I retired,” Morrison said. “I wanted to do something local and to be involved with people I know in the my community.” Morrison struggled with his design concept for more than six weeks, attempting to create something within the committee’s theme, “Flight of Friendship.” He said he altered his design several times. Until one day, it hit him. “When I got away from trying to visibly represent each city, I started thinking more about the flight aspect of it,” Morrison said. “I began to think of the flight condensation left in the sky by planes.” His design features four horizontal bands, made from polished, stainless steel, each representing one of Fort Wayne’s sister cities — Takaoka, Japan, Gera, Germany, Plock, Poland, and Taizhou, China. The bands symbolize the condensations trails left behind by airplanes traveling to and from Fort Wayne from each of the cities. Intertwined between the four bands is a curvier

band, which represents Fort Wayne and the way it weaves all the cities together. He called the piece “Flights of Friendship: Weaving Cultures.” Morrison submitted his proposal and it was chosen

as one of four finalists. Eventually the other artists’ designs were eliminated, leaving Morrison as the winner of the competition. He currently is working with Precision Fabrications to pre-fabricate the

bands for assembly in early fall. Morrison said each band will include the name of its representing city, in both English and the native tongue at either end of the bands, as well as the monument’s title in the

native language centered in the middle of each band. The Fort Wayne band will touch the ground and will serve as an interactive kiosk as a way for people to learn more about each of the sister cities.

“What I liked about (the design) was the simplicity of the concept, It isn’t literal, but more symbolic,” Morrison said. The complete design, which will span 60-feet wide and 15-feet high, will be dedicated Oct. 28.

room Dancing also will be on hand to move and groove to the music, Partee said. The series first was envisioned over a year ago when Partee and other merchants were looking for events to connect families to the shopping center. Several other concerts previously had rocked Georgetown Square and merchants felt a summer concert series on the last Friday of each month from June through August would be perfect. The series was awarded several grants and Parkview Hospital recently signed on as the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; title sponsor. Partee said the grant and sponsor funds assist Georgetown Square with paying the bands, purchasing a generator if needed, hiring security and other overhead costs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all to keep the event free to the public. Georgetown Square merchants also will be on hand to sell food and drinks. Subway and Bandidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will provide both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for purchase and both will offer food for a small fee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Georgetown already does a lot of community service, and this is just another way to support our area,â&#x20AC;? Partee said. The series will continue with Junk Yard Band performing July 27, with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;old time rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rollâ&#x20AC;? theme and Sugar Shot rocking the stage on Aug. 24, with a country-themed concert and barbecue. Concerts will take place rain or shine, with the events moving indoors to Georgetown Bowl during inclement weather. Chairs and blankets are welcome, but coolers will not be admitted. Other series sponsors include Arts United, Georgetown Square, Georgetown Little League and the Huisking Foundation.
