The views of the columnists in Current in Fishers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper.

In early January, a main sprinkler pipe in the entrance of the Hamilton East Public update Library Fishers, 5 Municipal Dr., ruptured due to sub-zero temperatures, flooding the center of the library.

The rupture damaged the central atrium, study rooms, the Teen Zone and circulation area on the main level, and it damaged the computer lab and classroom in the lower level. Water did reach the Adult Services area in the west wing, but much of that area was undamaged. The area, though, remains inaccessible due to damage to the front entrance.

Open areas include the Children’s Room and meeting rooms because they were undamaged.

Patrons may enter through the east entrance.

Holds pickup and circulation have been relocated to the Children’s Area. Public programs have been resumed, but computer classes have relocated to the Noblesville library, 1 Library Plaza.

Holds may be placed on items at the Fishers location, but collections are not available for browsing.

A timeline for repairs is not available, but the

library will publicize the information when more is known.

The library encourages patrons to use the Noblesville location. The new Ignite Studio makerspace was not damaged, but final stages were delayed. The makerspace is still on track to open in the summer.

“My midlife crisis wasn’t a sports car.

It was a heart attack.”

– dave r.

He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal. Living proof you’re never too old to learn. Exceptional care. Simply delivered.

The Morning

Mayor

Travis Lew Gibbs talks with The Well patron Meg Hall. (Photos by Sadie Hunter)

Man of faith serves those at The Well

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Coffee and tea drinkers at The Well Coffeehouse in Fishers have a real-life guardian angel watching over them most mornings.

At The Well, Fishers resident Travis Lew Gibbs is known as the Morning Mayor – a cover story man who visits with the regulars and new guests of The Well and offers advice and prayers. He can be found there most Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after his workout at the YMCA. He spends a short period of time at the coffee shop visiting tables and greeting patrons by name.

Gibbs’ connection with The Well began when he visited the shop a few weeks after it opened and introduced himself to the barista. He returned two weeks later, and the barista remembered his name.

Now, the 75-year-old collects the names of all patrons he meets in a little notebook.

He dates the page and writes down the names of the baristas working the counter.

“The reason I write their name down is I pray for them,” said Gibbs, a U.S Coast Guard veteran and retired college administrator. “Before I knew something about them, my prayer was that people can be really ugly if they haven’t had their first cup of joe, so I pray people be nice to them.”

In addition to the baristas, Gibbs looks after patrons, too, exchanging business cards and scribbling their names in his notebook. Now, 1 1/2-years after The Well opened, nearly 150 names are written in the notebook.

“For whatever impact that has, it has.

If it doesn’t have an impact, well, then it

doesn’t, but that’s OK,” Gibbs said. “I’ll walk in and love it when the tables are full, because I can ask to sit with someone. Once a week or so, I can do something positive in someone’s life. That’s why I come. I enjoy people. I love people.”

Out of all the people he’s met, two have a direct impact on the Fishers community – Fire Chief Steve Orusa and Police Chief Mitch Thompson.

Gibbs said he contacts them every month and lets them know he’s praying for them and their staffs.

Thompson and Gibbs met at a Coffee with a Cop event. Thompson said he and Gibbs connected because they love the Fishers community.

“On that day, Lew asked for my phone number so that he could just reach out to let me know he was praying for the safety of the officers on the department,” Thompson stated in an email to Current. “I happily gave him my number and since that time I hear from Lew every couple of weeks just to touch base and let me know he was praying for our men and women. It is comforting to know we have the support of the community. Lew is well known to many of our officers who stop in to The Well, as he is not afraid to verbalize his support to the officers in uniform.”

In addition to his notebook of names, Gibbs is never seen without his Bible.

“The Bible sits there. I don’t flaunt it, but when conversation comes up, or when someone asks me why I’m carrying a Bible, I’m prepared to answer,” he said. “It’s all about introducing people to Jesus if they don’t know him, and if they do know him, then encouraging them.”

From left, Maurice Brown, Travis Lew Gibbs, Amy Hartman, Mandy Seaman, Meg Hall and Jenny Shopp chat at The Well and celebrate Gibbs’ birthday.

Travis Lew Gibbs is often found at The Well with a cup of coffee, a Bible and a notebook full of the names of people he prays for.

a servant’s heart Travis Lew Gibbs’ passion for service spans decades. He served in the United States Coast Guard from 1960 to 1964, then served as the director of career services at Cedarville University in Ohio. Now, the 75-year-old assists others with building their resumes in his free time. He doesn’t believe in retirement. He refers to his time as “refocused.”

In addition to spending a few hours a week at The Well, Gibbs volunteers at a local food pantry and spends time connecting people from nonprofits with other organizations, most of which he meets at The Well.

Evolution of life

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker For some, reading and study is the key to all things. For others, experience is required to achieve adequate understanding.

Still, for most of us, we construct a reasonable composite of the two. We read, then do, then read a bit more and repeat. During the span of a long lifetime, we come to accumulate a conception about which things are best experienced blindly and which absolutely require some preparation.

American author Heidi Murkoff can claim the sales of more than 19 million copies of her iconic book “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” First-time parents around the world (and more than a few who are taking a refresher course) have found preknowledge imperative to managing the process. Like most successful ventures, this one has inspired countless sequels and imitators. The “What to Expect” series has sold tens of millions of copies and is published in more than 30 languages.

Is there a seminal book for each precipice in life? Is there one that will make our transition to marriage, pet ownership or midlife better understood? And, can we learn to “expect” all of the future machinations yet to come? It may be more fun to plan for an upcoming wedding than to adjust to life after divorce or death, but can’t we learn and prepare for either with the same sense of nervous anticipation?

There is a certain power to be found in knowing, preparing and practicing.

But with it can come a sense of anxiety, insecurity and worry. If ours is life everevolving, isn’t it better to embrace it expectantly, not begrudgingly? It may be the only choice we have.

Central Time resolutions

Editor, Indiana was shifted from its correct Central Time Zone to Eastern in the mid1960s. However, we didn’t experience a sunlight-schedule change until 2006, when Eastern Daylight Savings Time was adopted.

Two resolutions in the General Assembly (HCR 2 and SCR 11) call for an examination of the effect of Eastern’s sunlight schedule on the well-being of Hoosiers.

Why is this important?

While observing Daylight Savings Time has proven beneficial to Indiana’s economy by keeping our clocks in sync with other states, being in the same time zone as New York is no longer valid. In the meantime, statistics show that our current sunlight schedule is adversely effecting Hoosiers’ well-being. Hoosiers are the eighth-most tired in the U.S. Indiana’s teens have the second-highest suicide attempt rate in the nation. We are the eighth-most obese and seventh-least physically fit. Approximately 55,000 stu-

dents are chronic absentees each year, most due to truancy, and approximately 630,000 adult Hoosiers don’t have high school or GRE diplomas.

Approximately 28,000 Hoosiers and 51 public school boards have signed petitions to restore Indiana to its correct Central Time Zone, which simply means that the sun would rise and set one hour earlier.

Indiana’s counties would be reunited in the same time zone again. Broadcast of prime time programs and national events (NFL, NCAA, Olympics, etc.) would occur one hour earlier in the evening. July 4 fireworks could return to 9 p.m., and children could grow up seeing the stars and catching lightning bugs again. Students would travel to school in the safety of sunlight, and schools for teens could meet the recommended 8:30 a.m. start time.

Central Time is Indiana’s correct time.

It’s a no-brainer.

Susannah Dillon, president Central Time Coalition Carmel

A former neighbor has been bugging me to spice things up a bit (yes, you, JM!), so here goes nothing. As an humor educator, I find the prospect of arming teachers utterly ridiculous. You can agree or disagree, but trust me when I say we are the last people you want packing heat.

First, most schools are already prisonlike. We sentence kids to 12 years of highly structured days where they can’t even use the restroom when they want. If you add a bunch of armed guards, aka “teachers,” you’re only a barbed-wire fence away from Shawshank High. I prefer not to work at a state penitentiary, and I certainly don’t want my own children incarcerated in one (Wilson Family goal No. 6: Avoid penal institutions at all costs!). I’m there to teach, not to patrol the halls with my Glock.

Second, most teachers would make terrible shots. I took a handgun class a few years ago in preparation for the zombie apocalypse and also have spent time with my husband, Doo, an avid hunter, “learnin’ me some rifle shootin.’” If I had an hour or so, I could maybe load the thing, fire off a few rounds and hit a paper target, perhaps once. Unless someone plans to send me to sniper training and offer professional development sessions in marksmanship every week for the rest of my career, I will not be effective in a crisis situation. My medium is chalk, friends, not bullets!

Obviously, something must change in our nation, and we need to engage in conversations about meaningful, realistic solutions.

But trust me, arming teachers is not the answer.

Peace out.

I just received my greatly anticipated spring edition of the “Hammacher Schlemmer” catalog, which provides humor a new opportunity to skewer their latest array of gifts.

The HS catalogs always begin with a letter from the chairman, John MacArthur. This issue’s introduction includes, “Discover our quality products, innovative products, products that are one of a kind, and unusual products…” One product they obviously don’t sell is a thesaurus.

Here are a few of my favorites from this spring edition: • The Year of Your Birth Folding Knife: There is a brand new uncirculated penny embedded in the handle that was minted in the year of your birth.

Murderers, you should avoid leaving a weapon like this behind, because it could help police identify you…unless you look great for your age. Or terrible.

• Voice Clarifying TV Speaker: This not only boosts the sound of dialogue but also “amplifies speech frequencies.” I have no idea what that means, but it might be the perfect gift for friends

who love British mysteries. They never know “who done it,” because they can’t understand a word the English actors are saying.

• The Silent Speaking Dog Toy: OK, hang on to your shih tzu. These are toys that make a soothing sound only your dog can hear. I think this is a fair question: How do you know when it’s broken? Or if it ever worked?

• The Barber Eliminator: Sadly, it’s not what I thought. It’s just an electric hair trimmer. I was hoping to find an easy way to tell the guy who’s been cutting my hair for 40 years that I’m ready to move on.

• The Gorilla in the Room: This is a 96-inch, inflatable PVC gorilla for those people who love the expression “800-pound gorilla in the room.” OK, this might be funny the first time your friends see it, but it will quickly become the 19-pound gorilla on eBay.

Riverview to open 4 ER centers

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Riverview Health is expanding its services yet again in central Indiana in the form of four new facilities that will focus solely on emergency development and urgent care.

The hospital, headquartered in Noblesville, announced plans to build four new freestanding emergency departments with urgent care services in north Carmel, west Carmel, Fishers and the Nora area of Indianapolis. All are expected to open in 2019.

“As the area continues to grow, the demand for urgent and emergency services has, too,” Riverview Health President and CEO Seth Warren stated in a press release.

“Often, when unplanned medical needs arise, there’s the question of whether or not to go to the emergency room. With the emergency and urgent care combination, patients will have a single convenient access point close to home and be treated accordingly with the same high-quality health care of our full-service hospital in Noblesville.”

According to Riverview officials, the re-

tail model will focus on customer service and treating patients quickly, with limited paperwork. ER services will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while the urgent care hours will be 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. An ER physician, regardless of the level of service needed, will see all patients, who will be billed only for the level of care provided.

“Many visits to the emergency department could be treated in an urgent care setting at a lower cost,” Warren said. “This model eliminates that discrepancy by billing only for the level of care needed, which has the potential to save money for patients, employers and communities.”

HSE to perform ‘Little Mermaid’

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School will perform “The Little Mermaid” for the first time, and the cast will add a musical bit of a twist to some of the scenes.

The rendition of the 1989 Disney film follows the story of Ariel, a mermaid who wants to become human and what she’s willing to do to make the wish come true.

Ethan Mathias, an HSE teacher who serves as the director of staging and vocal direction, said there are a few differences in the performance compared to the movie.

Some scenes cannot work with the high school’s set, such as when the character of Eric steers his ship into Ursula in the movie.

“It’s different in how it ends and in terms of the size of some of the parts, like Ariel’s sisters are featured some more and Eric is featured a little more,” Mathias said. “It’s all the same faces, it’s just been augmented a little bit.”

Performances will be at 7 p.m. March 8 to 10, with a 2 p.m. matinee performance on March 10. Performances will take place in the Leonard Auditorium at the high school,

Wine for an Easter menu Commentary by Elizabeth Morse The promise of spring is peeking through now and then. It’s not nice weather, but you can celebrate this WINEderlust transition with some lighter wines as we ramp up to patio season. The bottles I’m going to suggest also are great choices with traditional Easter meals.

Serving salad that features asparagus is a great first course for a spring meal. I’m planning to make one that has fresh goat cheese and toasted walnuts. Domaine Moreux “Cuvée des Lys” Sancerre Rosé is my suggestion. It is made from Pinot Noir grapes and reminds me of fragrant strawberries, cherries and apricots. The acidity is bright and could be paired successfully with a strawberry and spinach salad, too ($23).

Next up: salty-sweet baked ham. I like to glaze ham, which would make pairing a big red wine, well, not good. Those flavors tend to clash. I’m opting for a light, yet flavorful and zesty Lambrusco. I’m not talking about the super-sweet cheap stuff. Try this tasty

19

sparkler: Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce ($18ish). Great for family gatherings since it’s low in alcohol. An excellent choice with a great piece of Parmesan cheese, too.

The finale of my Easter meal is a bakerystyle white cake with vanilla frosting. It’s often decorated with hundreds of jelly beans and maybe a Peep or two. You can go two directions here. If you really like bubbles, go with Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d’Asti. This is a terribly pretty and fragrant wine from Italy that is a bit sweet, $12 for a 375-millilitre bottle. If it’s a chilly day and you’re looking for something more serious, opt for Bodegas Dios Baco Elite Amontillado Sherry. This fortified wine is not Mama’s cooking Sherry. It tastes like butterscotch and hazelnuts with a dry finish ($20). Cheers!

Redefine luxury outdoor living by adding shade and privacy in a lowmaintenance setting.

Redefining luxury outdoor living Commentary by Randy Sorrell

The modern definition of luxury in outdoor living is being redefined. At least, that’s my bold observation.

OUTDOOR I haven’t read it on Twitter, haven’t “Googled” it and L I V I N G Big Brother Amazon is not pushing out products under that title. No blogs (until now) have touted this revolution/evolution, but I am.

Think about it. Our collective generations are again appreciating the habits of outdoor living. Living commenced predominantly on our updated decks, crushed stone paths, jazzy brick patios with fire features to warm our hearts and thriving landscapes for all to sniff at and smile with.

3 components I believe there are three very distinct components of luxury in outdoor living. This bold observation is based on the hope that the basics of an outdoor living space are already established: patio, landscape and furniture. Here they are. cordance with Low maintenance 0”) to the Indiana Our clients are telling us while they love elines. Stanthe idea of enjoying their new space, they don’t want to spend the weekend weeding ate of filing, and cleaning. They want low-maintenance

ra A. Smith or umbers:

living. Don’t we all.

Shade We also recognize, more than ever, that while we dig the sun, it’s best enjoyed in moderation. So, how do we create escape valves for shade?

Privacy Here’s another component our friendly clients are demanding. We love our neighbors (well, most of them), but we simply don’t want them to know what type of wine we are enjoying, book we are reading and conversation we are having when grilling out. Likely, the feeling is mutual.

Let’s dig deeper over the next few months into the stylish solutions for these luxury essentials. Sure, we will marry that with photo journals of amazingly cool patios, delicious landscapes, pergolas and other space essentials.

Do these three luxury essentials seem odd to you? Or, do they provocatively resonate with your hoped-for style of living?

Moving toward enlightenment Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Galata Area of Istanbul, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Istanbul’s Tower of Flight Commentary by Don Knebel If your mental image of Istanbul does not include a 14th-century Romanesque hilltop tower overlooking a picturesque harbor, you probably need to revise travel your image. The cylindrical Galata Tower is also the site of a reported milestone in the history of human aviation.

In 1005 A.D., the once-poor Italian citystate of Genoa became the independent Republic of Genoa, with a fleet of ships sailing throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. The Byzantine Empire, with its capital in Constantinople, was one of Genoa’s major trading partners. To facilitate that relationship, in 1267 Genoese traders established a colony on a hillside area called Galata across the Golden Horn from Constantinople, overlooking the harbor where an estuary called the Golden Horn meets the Bosporus, the narrow strait forming the border between Europe and Asia. In 1348, as a part of a defensive wall surrounding their colony, the Genoese built a 207-foot tall tower they named Christea Turris (Tower of Christ) atop the hill from

which they could detect hostile forces approaching the harbor. In 1453, after a battle in which the Genoese were neutral, Islamic forces conquered Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul. The Galata Tower became a fire tower.

According to a 17th century report, a Turk named Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi, who had studied aerodynamics, strapped on wings he had copied from birds and flew from the top of the Galata Tower to a landing spot on the Asian side of the Bosporus, 4 miles away. In recognition of this first intercontinental flight, an Istanbul airport is named for Hezârfen.

The Galata Tower was restored in 1967 and is open to the public. For a fee, elevators carry visitors to a balcony just below the roof where they can get a spectacular panoramic view of Istanbul and the two continents on which it now lies.

Right now, we’re trying to teach our daughter to crawl. She’s 8 months old, and I can only imagine grammar guy how ridiculous I look down on the floor attempting to show her how to push her body up off the floor and start moving toward me. Or is it towards me? Is it toward or towards?

The more I look at toward and towards, the more I’m convinced neither of them are real words. I think pretty much any word will do that to you. And shouldn’t toward and coward rhyme? I’m too scared to look into it; I think that makes me a toward coward.

It all depends on where you live. In British and Australian English, you’ll find people give a polite, nod to towards over toward. However, in the U.S. and Canada, we independently and unabashedly use toward more often than towards. Technically, either are correct in any situation.

However, my rule is use whichever word sounds right in each situation.

The AP stylebook states toward is always correct and towards is always a syn-

tactical faux pas. While I appreciate the AP’s all-or-nothing approach, I don’t think it’s necessary to take a stand on every issue. Forgive me for my untowardness.

Is it weird that coward and towered rhyme? I think these words are messing with me. These two words could very well lead me to ward off either of these words from my writing for a year. In the same way American English prefers toward, the same rule works with other words related to direction, like forward, backward, downward, upward and afterward. To remember this rule, think about how Americans like our words like we like our drive-thrus: Shorter, faster, more convenient and more efficient. Taking an axe to the s to make a word one letter shorter is the American way. Does that make us seem backward, or are we moving toward an enlightened state of simplicity and brevity? Either way, it saves one letter on our Twitter character counts.
