According to a press release from Thompson Thrift, the proposed apartments will be above retail space and a parking structure on the northeast corner of the property. Watermark Residential, the multi-family division of Thompson Thrift, will develop the apartments.

“We are excited about incorporating this use into the project, which will further serve to make The Yard at Fishers District a one-of-a kind destination and gathering place for the community,”

Thompson Thrift Retail Group managing partner Ashlee Boyd stated in a press release. “It really is a natural fit for the project that will greatly enhance the consumer experience and activate the project on a daily basis, bringing more energy to an already dynamic environment.”

The proposal includes 252 apartments, 120,000 square feet of retail, two hotel concepts and a three-story parking garage.

STUDENT OF THE YEAR

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SUPPORT THE LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOM SOCIETY?

Gretencord raises money for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

By Jessica Hoover • news@currentinfishers.com For the second consecutive year, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is conducting its Students of the Year initiative, a seven-week fundraising competition for high school students. It began Jan. 25 and ends March 17.

Last year, LLS chose five students who raised a combined $238,000 for blood cancer research. This year, one of the students chosen to compete is Caroline Gretencord, a senior at Hamilton Southeastern High School.

Gretencord has been involved with LLS most of her life. Her mom joined the board of trustees after her best friend was diagnosed with leukemia when Gretencord was a child. When Gretencord got older, she joined the fight against blood cancer by going to LLS events. Earlier this year, she took her support of LLS a step further by competing in Students of the Year.

“I have always been involved with LLS because of my mom,” Gretencord said. “But when I actually met with the LLS staff, I just kind of fell in love with the whole thing. I loved the mission and everything that went into how you raise money and where the proceeds go. Then when my aunt got diagnosed with lymphoma, I knew it

All proceeds go to LLS’s research to find a cure for blood cancer.

Fundraise through the Student Series campaign. In the program Pennies for Patients, students in elementary and middle school can collect change and raise funds online for LLS. High school students can fundraise through the Collect for Cures program or through Students of the Year.

Register or volunteer for a race. The Team in Training campaign puts on runs, walks, cycling events and triathlons and more around the world. After registering, participants fundraise for LLS while training for the race. If you’re not interested in racing, there are other volunteer opportunities.

Garcia said the LLS staff is always looking for people to help get donor letters ready or to make care packages for cancer patients.

Old habits

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker “You are brushing your teeth all wrong,” she said, seemingly a bit concerned that the basic skill had not been mastered some years earlier. Was the well-intentioned hygienist serious? There was a bit of indignation.

But as the reasons behind the admonishment unfolded, her point was made. The expertise, though long mastered, had been interpreted through the eyes of a child and lacked maturity.

Taught to pursue the exercise in personal hygiene about the time we exit elementary school, most of us assume that we’ve long figured out the task and have it fully under control. We know how to brush our teeth.

Yet, is it conceivable that techniques have improved, needs have changed and, perhaps, we shouldn’t let a 9-year-old determine how we maintain our oral health?

It is said that one cannot teach an old dog new tricks. But how many decisions in our lives, made years before, continue to constrain our thinking and limit our alternatives? How much could we advance if we simply undertook to improve our method?

Many argue that change for its own sake is a good unto itself. Others rightly hold that consistency is the superior plan. Is there a place between the two – one that urges us to routinely reevaluate our behaviors and thoughtfully update them?

There is little doubt that old habits die hard. Still, we know that they rarely die of natural causes. If we took inventory of the choices that rule our lives, how many of those choices have long outlived their freshness dates?

READER’S VIEW On celebrating America Editor, Mayor Scott Fadness, you have done some very fine things in our town, but you have really got this one wrong: Fourth of July.

Margeurite Tully, Fishers

Thank you, Terry Editor, Terry Anker, I like the commentary you wrote and titled in the last Current. Thanks for making your ideas heard and noticed.

Jonathan Hardy, Fishers

Well, it’s finally happened, friends. The dreaded “I hate you” came spewing forth from my 13-year-old after I HUMOR grounded her, along with an evil stare worthy of Damien himself. I replied, “I love you!” But as soon as she slammed her bedroom door, I burst into tears. Teenage girls!

I should have known my time would come. My older daughter has been a relatively drama-free child. I don’t know whether she bottles it all up and vomits her vitriol quietly in the night or if she’s one of those kids that is rarely phased by anything. Regardless, I’ve been lulled into a false sense of security that running the mom-of-girls marathon would be over a flat course with frequent hydration stops and plenty of motivational signs.

Wrong! I can’t say anything right. I’m either too “up in her grill” or not involved enough, and all of my rules are stupid.

Furthermore, none of her friends have ever been grounded, and how does keeping her home on a Saturday night teach her anything, anyway? “Don’t talk to me!”

Ugh, I hate this discipline stuff. Mothers are programmed to make their babies happy, not ruin their lives, which, according to her, I’m clearly intent upon doing. And Doo’s out of town, which means I’m in the parenting ring alone against a strong-willed eighth-grader who’s not afraid to throw a sucker punch.

I know I’m doing the right thing and that she’s merely testing her boundaries, but sweet mercy. If this is a sign of things to come, I’m in deep trouble.

Peace out.

Conner Prairie Museum to offer seven camps

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie each year offers its unique camps to kids in central Indiana.

Breaking their own record last year for OUTDOORS summer camp participation at 2,226, the interactive history park’s camp programming is always popular, as camps sell out quickly.

School of Rock camps boost interest, ends in show

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel resident Kristin Rauh called enrolling her son Aidan, now a Guerin Catholic High School freshman, in his MUSIC first School of Rock summer camp in 2013 one of the best decisions she ever made.

“Being totally immersed in the music for five days allowed Aidan to explore his interest with several different instruments,” Rauh said. “The summer camp gave us an opportunity to trial the School of Rock program and introduced us to the amazing instructors and staff. We loved it so much we’ve been with the program ever since.”

Amy Tobias said the camps have been the perfect thing for her son Sam, a Carmel Middle School eighth-grader, to do in the summer.

“School of Rock is a wonderful atmosphere for kids to not only grow their musical talents, but also grow their confidence and teamwork and develop great friendships,” Tobias said.

Sam is signed up for the Classic Metal camp this summer.

Elyse Causey, School of Rock regional manager, said this is the seventh year of camps in Carmel and the second year in Fishers.

“The beginner camp might be our most popular,” Causey said. “It’s a great way for

younger kids to not only start learning an instrument but to become fully immersed in learning one, and to really jumpstart their learning. Parents are always amazed that when they drop their kid off on Monday having never picked up an instrument before, and they come back for the end of the week show on Friday, their kid is not only playing an instrument but playing in a band, and playing fun rock songs.”

Causey said students who have been playing for a longer period have their choice of themed camps: a Foo Fighters camp in either Carmel or Fishers, or a Classic Metal or Songwriting camp in Carmel.

“These camps are designed to help push students in their skills on their instrument in drums, keyboard, guitar, bass or vocals by being fully immersed in playing in a band setting for a full week,” Causey said.

“The students perform eight to 10 songs on Friday afternoon on the patio at Soho Cafe in Carmel or the Kroger patio in Fishers in front of family and friends.”

Causey said the Fishers site is offering a shortened summer camp for ages 6 to 7 in the week-long rookies camp, which will meet for three hours each day.

We have kids 4 years old and sailing and older adults in their 80s still sailing.

It’s really a lifelong sport.”

The camps run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Kids are encouraged to bring their own lunch and are required to bring a life jacket. Some of the camp takes place in a

Students ages 6 to 13 will have the opportunity to learn valuable STEM – science, technology, engineering EDUCATION and mathematics – skills while playing the popular game Minecraft.

Indy STEM Camps will offer six different Minecraft options with 30 camps at six different locations around central Indiana with camps beginning June 4 and continuing through July 20.

But some camps, like the week-long Mermaids & Unicorns Camp for kids in Kindergarten to grade 3, may stand out among the rest. Camps on popular book and film franchises, like Harry Potter and Star Wars, along with the annual Superhero Camp, also will stand out.

About a dozen of Cathedral’s camps have a strong science, technology, engineering and math tie, covering popular themes like Minecraft and Lego.

New camps include a Moana Island Adventure Camp that follows the Disney animated film “Moana,” a Lost World of Dinosaurs Camp, and a We the People Constitutional Law Camp.

Additional academic programming fills out approximately half of Cathedral’s summer camps roster with a strong focus on

Preventing overuse injuries Commentary by Dr. Joseph Hui Participating in sports provides many positive benefits for youth. It promotes peer socialization, SPORT MEDICINE self-esteem, lifelong physical activity skills, teamwork and leadership skills and, of course, fun.

In children, the cartilage growth plates of bones and tendinous attachments between muscle and bone are particularly at risk for overuse since they are still developing.

In a study about children specializing in one sport, those who participated in an organized sport versus free-play were at a greater risk for experiencing an overuse injury. In another study done with high school athletes, there was an increased risk of overuse injuries if training and competition demands were greater than 16 hours per week.

Playing only one sport year-round also appears to be a risk factor for overuse injuries. There are some sports, including gymnastics, figure skating and diving, where peak performance takes place before the participants are completely mature physi-

cally. The athletes involved in these types of sports typically focus on their single sport in order to be successful. In general, however, I recommend avoiding early specialization of a sport. It’s also encouraged by most medical societies, including the American Academy of Pediatricians and the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, to promote a diversified athletic skill set in order to decrease overuse injuries and reduce burnout.

The female athlete triad, which is decreased energy availability, menstrual dysfunction and low bone mineral density, also is a modifiable risk factor for overuse injury and should be screened for in all female athletes. This trifecta often leads to stress injuries and/or stress fractures in bones.

Coaches and parents are the first line of defense against overuse injuries and should be vigilant in monitoring for signs of stress, burnout and physical symptoms.

SmileCentric now open

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Dr. Louis Abukhalaf had just turned 17 when he traveled from his DENTIST home in Jerusalem to attend Loyola University in Chicago.

While at Loyola, Abukhalaf met his future wife, Dr. Brittany Lane. They both went on to get doctorate degrees in dentistry from Marquette University.

Abukhalaf, who lives in Fishers, opened his own practice, SmileCentric, 14560 River Rd., Suite 105, in Carmel, five months ago. It had its official ribbon-cutting last month.

“The office is 10 minutes away from my home,” Abukhalaf said. “So, if someone has an emergency I can come in after hours, which I’ve done before.”

Abukhalaf, 31, has been practicing for 6 1/2 years, continuing to work at Gentle Dentist at the Edgewood location on the south side of Indianapolis.

“I’m still working there part-time until I build this office,” Abukhalaf said.

Patients call him Dr. Louis, and he tries to

put them at ease.

“I’m very personable,” he said. “I try to be joking all the time, (provide) a stress-free environment and as much painlessness as I can. If you get an injection, you are going to feel it, but I try to make it as comfortable as possible.”

The office is open three days a week and has weekend hours per request.

“It was kind of a hiccup starting (up),” Abukhalaf said. “Construction took way longer than I thought it would with permits and all that stuff.”

He said it was the right time to start his own practice.

“I feel like I’m comfortable with dentistry, and I want to attack the business part,” Abukhalaf said. “You don’t learn this in dental school.”

Lane is a periodontist at her practice, Indy East Periodontics in Indianapolis.

Lane, originally from Muncie, had her residency in Indianapolis, and the couple decided to make central Indiana their home.

Abukhalaf and Lane have a 9-month-old son, Nabeel.

“I try to get back to Jerusalem every year, but it’s hard when you have two businesses and a baby,” Abukhalaf said.

‘Cat in Hat’ lands at Civic

By Zach Dunkin zach.dunkin@youarecurrent.com Complete with all its clever rhymes, timely sound effects, weird costumes and sparse stage setting, the story of Dr. Seuss’ “The Cat in the Hat” will “unTHEATER fold” before audiences at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Based on the children’s book first published in 1957, the Civic Theatre production of the tale of a tall, mischievous cat who wears a red and white-striped hat runs from Feb. 21 through March 1 “There is a sound effect for everything,” director Anne Beck said. “It keeps the sound operator and the cast completely insynch while audibly giving this storybook life off of the page. Everything is meant to resemble the original book. The black, white and red costumes. A lot of the pictures in the book are recreated with items that come on to assist, such as the door, the red box with the tricks in it and props to all aid the pages of the book unfolding.”

Beck has directed the play a few times with different actors, working with a new energy, strengths and comedic skills, plus

Brunelleschi’s Dome in Florence Capitalizing on the four seasons Commentary by Don Knebel The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower in Florence, Italy, is one of Europe’s most famous cathedrals. Its remarkable dome reflects the TRAVEL ingenuity of a Florentine goldsmith.

By the 13th century, Florence, made rich from foreign trade, had become one of the most important cities in Europe.

In 1294, to accommodate Florence’s growing population and growing hubris, its city council approved an innovative design for an ornate cathedral with a 150-foot wide, elongated dome perched on a 180-foot tall octagonal base. No one at the time knew how to erect such a dome, but the Florentines were confident that someone would solve that problem during the 140 years they expected the cathedral’s construction to require.

By 1418, everything but the dome was finished, and no one yet knew how to Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower in Florence, build it. There was not enough wood Italy.

Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt This article is not about the singing quartet featuring Frankie Valli, nor is it about the international GRAMMAR GUY chain of hotels. Today, I’d like to tackle when to capitalize seasons.

What can I say? I’m on a caps kick lately.

It’s probably because I’ve been reading a book about George Washington featuring several examples of his correspondence.

Those Founding Fathers loved capitalizing anything they deemed important — solemn abstractions like Life, Liberty and Happiness — and pretty much anything else they wanted to emphasize. I like their epistolary style.

First, let’s look at when to not capitalize seasons. The basic rule is: do not capitalize seasons when you are using them generically. Here’s an example: In Narnia, it is always winter, never Christmas.

Now, when should you upgrade seasons to proper noun status? When seasons are part of a proper noun, capitalize them. For example: now that the Winter Olympics are over, I don’t know what to do with myself.

And another: During Fall Semester 2005 I

had a mystery virus that stumped all the doctors on campus. Eventually, my body fought it off, and I survived.

With my remaining word count, let’s examine fall and autumn — which is it? I like “fall” because it says what it is; not only do the leaves start to fall, but the temperatures do as well. In fact, spring and fall both appeared in English in the 16th century as “spring of the leaf” and “fall of the leaf.”

Autumn came from the French word automne. At this point, fall and autumn are interchangeable. I prefer “fall,” but won’t judge anyone who uses “autumn,” although autumn is kind of like fall’s snooty cousin.

I do think it’s silly that we have two words that mean literally the exact same thing.

All I have to say is that I can’t wait for Spring 2018; this winter has felt like we’re living in North Dakota or Minnesota. There are only so many 15-degree days a person can handle.
