Fishers High School graduate profile: Tony Sandleben

By Desiree Williams • news@currentinfishers.com Tony Sandleben graduated in 2013 from Fishers High School education where he participated in football, speech team, track and field and theater. Sandleben, 23, will graduate in May from Ball State University with a dual degree in telecommunications and journalism and a minor in political science.

Q: What was your favorite subject in high school?

A: Choir, because it was fun. I looked forward to it every day. (I) would go into the choir room and just make music with a bunch of my best friends. It was the first time that a class actually became like a family.

Q: Who was the most influential high school teacher?

A: Mr. Johnson, because he was the brains behind making that family. He helped me in so many ways. His goal was not just to get high school students to make music

in exemplary ways. His goal was to get high school students to think like adults and act like adults and just advance in more ways in life than just making music together.

Q: What do you miss about high school?

A: I think what I miss most about high school, especially senior year, I had a pretty good grasp on my life at that point. I knew how to function throughout the day.

I knew I had people that deeply cared for me and I had a sense of direction. I knew what the next six months were going to look like.

Q: What has your college experience been like?

A: I have been involved with student media all five years of college. That wasn’t exactly the plan, but here we are. I ultimately ended up taking reporting very seriously, to the point where I missed quite a good handful of classes because I was out covering stories. I knew it was what I wanted to do, and what was kind of cool about college was that my passions shifted from

wanting to be a sports broadcaster to wanting to be a news reporter.

Q: What are your next steps?

A: My goal for my first job is to start in a state capital that’s in a market that’s in the top 100, according to the Nielsen ratings. While Indianapolis fits that, it’s way too big for a first reporting job.

I want to be a political reporter, so a state capital is really appealing to me because not just national politics, but state and local politics are really fascinating to me because they have much more of a direct impact on the community.

community to know?

A: One thing that I have always hoped to do is come back to Fishers High School and put a little bit of a mark on the high school media program.

Q: Do you have any advice for younger students?

A: Get involved. Two of the best decisions I ever made in college (were) rushing a fraternity and joining student media because that’s where I met my best friends in college. Those two things have had such a deep impact on me that I would not be the person that I am if I didn’t do either of those things.

Lawmakers return from D.C.

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Six local lawmakers and the county’s highway director recently returned from a trip to Washinggovernment ton, D.C., where they sought support for road funding and construction issues in Hamilton County.

A light dinner will be served.

Location: Riverview Health 395 Westfield Rd., Noblesville Krieg DeVault Conference Room (Lower level of Women’s Pavilion) Registration: Visit riverview.org/classes or call 317.776.7999.

The program is free, but registration is required.

Conner Prairie recently unveiled a new nature experience made for families to unleash their wild growth side, according to Vice President and Chief Programs Officer Richard Cooper. The new experience, called Fort Hoosier, is a 1,000-square-foot addition to Treetop Outpost, a four-story treehouse in the middle of the museum’s Nature Walk.

Features of Fort Hoosier include climbing walls, a cargo net, passageways, tunnels, balance beams, a fountain, air cannons and more. There are interactive activities such as a pulley and bucket to transport items and a signal lamp to send Morse code messages between Fort Hoosier and Treetop Outpost. A new slide will be added to the fort by the end of this month.

Cooper said Fort Hoosier is open for visitors of all ages and that the feedback so far has been positive from adults and children. Conner Prairie will add different activities and programming for Fort Hoosier throughout the year. Activities could include puppet-making, storytelling, playing music, having naturalists speak and having Conner Prairie interpreters at the fort.

Other spaces coming soon to Conner Prairie are the White River Overlook and the Nature Amphitheater Stage. Cooper said the White River Overlook will offer a view of the river that runs through the museum, and it

will display signage of the history and ecology of the river. The Nature Amphitheater Stage is a 50-seat outdoor venue that will host performances, nature chats, storytelling, puppeteering and more. Both outdoor experiences will be open to the public by the end of this month.

“At Conner Prairie, our mission is to inspire curiosity and foster learning of Indiana’s past through individualized experiences, and I think all of these spaces are helping us bring our mission to life,” Cooper said.

Flamme Burger and Oak Catering recently began operating. The food services frequently give back to the community.

returning the flavor Flamme Burger and Oak Catering donate food, time, money to local charities

By Noah Alatza • news@currentinfishers.com Shelley and Henri Najem owned the Bella Vita at the Marina for more than 20 years before selling cover story the Geist lakefront restaurant in 2014, but the couple isn’t done with the food industry quite yet.

Four years after selling Bella Vita, they opened Flamme Burger and Oak Catering in Fishers at 8594 E. 116th St. and a Whitestown location at 6850 Whitestown Pkwy.

The Najems don’t just own and operate their storefront, they continue to give back in Fishers and across the state.

Shelley Najem said helping the community and their customers is rewarding.

“I personally believe there is no greater feeling than helping somebody out,” she said. “If we all came together and did a litte, it could be a different world. People choose to come in because we do so much. I don’t feel like we have to, but that’s why we’re here and successful.”

The name of the Najems’ catering company, Bella Vita Catering, was renamed after it was sold. It is now Oak Catering.

Najem said business has been thriving since Flamme Burger was patented.

“It’s a 90-percent failure rate for small, independent restaurants,” she said. “We have been operating this business so long due to help from the community.”

Najem said when both restaurants opened, Flamme Burger invited local police to eat free. Public servants also receive daily discounts.

“Any veterans in uniform, police and fire, they get 20 percent off every day,” Najem said. “You have to help out the community.”

At the end of each business day, the Najems donate leftover food to local charities in Fishers, Noblesville and other locations across the state. Nonprofits including Third Phase and the St. Vincent DePaul of Noblesville are among the many recipients of donations.

“Anything that is left over, we drop those off,” Najem said. “Sometimes, if it’s too late, we put it in the fridge until the next day.”

The company donates a percentage of profits each month to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Nashville, Tenn.

Flamme Burger and Oak Catering both offer catering, but Oak Catering is a more upscale service.

Oak Catering serves larger gatherings, including IMMI, Ambassador House, Fairfield Inn, Escape Room and more.

Najem said that catering kitchens prepare the food in both Flamme Burger restaurants.

Recently, the company made an impact with Indianapolis’ Hope Academy, a traditional academic program with a focus on recovery for adolescents suffering from substance abuse disorders.

The tuition-free public school hosts an annual Taste of Hope event to support fundraising. The Best Taste Award for the February 2018 event was awarded to Flamme Burger.

Hope Academy Principal Linda Gagyi said support from Flamme Burger and other restaurants helped fund a gap in student education. It costs approximately $22,000 per student to attend Hope, but with only $15,000 coming from state funds, the school has to make up the additional $7,000 for each student.

“That’s where Flamme Burger came in,” Gagyi said, “We raised $70,000, enough to cover expenses for 10 students.”

Gagyi said the total nearly doubled from last year. More than 250 people attended the event. At any given time, there are between 30 and 40 students at Hope.

“It was a combination from sponsorships, gift cards and raffles,” she said. “We have recovery focus for every student that comes here. We are not a treatment provider, but we support recovery.”

Oak Catering recently donated food and desserts to the fifth annual Women’s Build Kickoff for Habitat for Humanity. The event was hosted on International Women’s Day March 8. The home was funded and built by the women at The Tinker House Events.

Henri and Shelley Najem previously owned Bella Vita at the Marina.

awards for a fresh taste According to Shelley Najem, everything at Flamme Burger and Oak Catering is fresh and local – right down to the wood for the oven.

“We cook over a wood-fired grill,” she said. “All meat and produce is bought from local farmers with no preservatives or hormones. We do not even have any freezers at our Flamme Burger locations.

Fresh is our motto.”

Najem said for every event in the City of Fishers, Oak Catering donates 100 percent of its time and costs.

Flamme’s BBQ Burger has been featured in Building Tomorrow’s Indy Burger Battle, where it most recently won Critics’ Choice Champion in 2017.

Digesting the pancake

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker

Hoosier political leader Rex Early was known to urge bipartisanship with the adage, “I’ve never seen a pancake so thin it didn’t have two sides.” The simple, accessible aphorism makes a hefty point. In order for a civil society to bind itself together, the pancake needs a top and bottom. The physics of the beloved breakfast food requires it.

Sure, the sides of the pancake can be a little different. In our house, one side always seems to get slightly crispy. It depends upon the chef as to whether the burnt side is turned up to warn the hungry table mate of what’s in store – or, it can be turned down, masking the shame of the inattentive cook.

Regardless, the pancake may have one side that we like better than the other, but we have to eat both if we hope to gain its nutrients.

One wonders if the maxim about the engineering of a flapjack can be used to better inform our understanding of those in the world around us. Can we imagine that our least favorite person is really only one thing – liar, cheater or bad driver? Isn’t it more likely that he or she is a liar (at least in an encounter with us) but also a competent parent, a loving pet owner and dedicated daughter to an aging parent? Is it possible we might be more than one thing?

Deciding to flatten a human being into just two dimensions makes it easier for us to walk on them. If someone is good and bad, we have to burn a bit of mental energy to evaluate them on balance. We must decide if the pancake is simply too burned to eat or if a bit of syrup makes it work.

REA D ER ’ S V I EW Editor, I just wanted to give (columnist Danielle Wilson) my two cents on your commentary (published March 6) regarding arming teachers in schools. I do not think anyone is suggesting that all teachers in every school carry guns or that we should be turning our schools into penitentiaries. I do, however, think that it would be sensible to talk about the possibility of some teachers who already conceal carry, are experienced shooters, and feel comfortable with the responsibility having access to a gun in the classroom being part of the solution to protecting our children and teachers across the country.

In some areas, this could work to add to the security of our schools in shooter situations, and in other areas there may need to be more armed officers on campus. We have seen that in these shooter situations, most of the devastation occurs within a matter of minutes while teachers are using their bodies to protect children, often losing their life in the process. Wouldn’t you rather hear that the football coach that lost his life shielding his students instead had access to a gun and took out the shooter, minimizing or preventing the devastation that took place? Maybe if that was part of the story,

these cowards might think twice about shooting up a school, knowing there’s a good chance they’ll be shot themselves.

On the other hand, if it isn’t deterrence for the shooter because he’s suicidal, etc., at least the devastation could be much less and more lives could be saved.

If we want to engage in meaningful conversations and realistic solutions, as you’ve stated, then we should at least talk about the possible solutions. Obviously, you wouldn’t be one of the teachers in this position to have access to a gun since you aren’t experienced or comfortable handling a gun. That doesn’t mean there aren’t teachers out there that are experienced and want to have the ability to protect themselves and their students in a situation like this. Again, this wouldn’t work in every school, but it should at least be part of the conversation. Why delete it from the conversation just because you aren’t a teacher who would be a good candidate in this position? There may be others that are and there may be none, but it should at least be part of the conversation so that we can all gather that information and see what does and does not work in different areas of the nation to protect human life.

Summer Jenkins, Westfield

In trying to figure out what to write about this week, I took a stroll down memory lane. Some of my Current articles from 2009 in particular are a humor hoot. There’s one about me calling poison control when my niece ate cortisone cream on my watch.

There’s one delivering a beautiful eulogy on “Big Red,” our first minivan. And the best, a column detailing how adept kids are at employing chemical, biological and psychological warfare against parents: “Bodily fluids are available, free and extremely versatile in the hands of a child. You must be prepared!” Now, that’s great writing.

Most of 2010 followed our adventures in real estate, including my horrifying accidental Republican vote in the primaries and a subsequent mental breakdown in the dairy aisle at Marsh while living with my in-laws in between houses. Good times. Goo-ood times.

Other highlights through the years? The epic “fist-to-the-face incident” when my younger son popped his older, bratty brother during a family road trip that nearly put us in a ditch. The slow but steady death of my beloved water bra right in the middle of a lesson on polynomials that I was teaching. And, of course, the literal waste geyser that erupted two years ago from our main hall toilet that resulted in a complete kitchen remodel.

By comparison, I feel like life has been on cruise control of late. No more little ones under foot, no new jobs or homes on the horizon, and for the most part, little drama, save for the occasional teenage girl outburst. It may mean fewer exciting columns, sure, but we can always walk down memory lane. Peace out.

It pays to coordinate estate planning

join us for a

Remodeling Seminar

Commentary by Jay Curts Most of us have life insurance, a retirement account and a house. Some of us have a will that we made out legal years ago when we were worried about who would take care of our children if we died. All of us do not have to worry about the first $11.2 million of our estates being taxed by Uncle Sam (or is it Uncle Donald?).

However, when was the last time you thought about how your asset ownership, beneficiary designations, wills and trusts coordinate for the benefit of your heirs? An effective method to achieve practical estate asset distribution simplicity is to coordinate the use of asset beneficiary designations with a separate trust agreement.

Life insurance and retirement accounts are assets traditionally structured for dis-

tribution upon the death of the owner by direct beneficiary designation. These beneficiary designations have priority over any other instruction you may have established in writing in a will or trust. Under Indiana law, every asset is capable of ownership as a transfer on death (TOD) asset. Real estate, bank accounts, stocks and investment accounts, cars and other tangible assets all may convey a TOD beneficiary designation, allowing the owner to name the beneficiary of each TOD asset separately, if desired.

Coordination of a TOD asset designation strategy may be applied to provide both direct and timely financial benefit to your heirs for some assets (for example, life insurance proceeds) and practical administration structure for other assets (for example, your residence) to allow your chosen representative to sell or distribute for your heirs to receive, either outright or

in trust.

This structure is accomplished by establishing a revocable trust agreement designed to receive title to the owner’s designated TOD assets. Those assets are administered after your death by your chosen trustee, pursuant to your written directions provided in that trust agreement, without the necessity of court administration of your estate or the transfer of ownership of your assets to a trust during your lifetime. And in this perfect world you have created, your heirs live happily ever after!

Jay Curts is an attorney with Coots, Henke & Wheeler in Carmel and concentrates his practice in estate and trust planning and administration, closely held business organizations, succession planning and transactions.

But seriously, folks Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Most of what I write about is admittedly exaggeration. If I said my wife left to go shopping and came back two humor days later, that is an obvious embellishment. If my wife were really gone for two days, I would, of course, have called the police.

Here’s what I am concerned about. Because I am always trying to be funny, I’m afraid the cops wouldn’t take me seriously: “Hi. This is Dick Wolfsie. My wife left on Thursday to buy clothes, and I haven’t seen her in two days.”

“Yes, Mr. Wolfsie, a very amusing premise. We here at Missing Persons are aware of the use of hyperbole to create a humorous effect. By the way, we suggest three days. Those with an ear for comedy know that a wife missing for two days just isn’t catchy enough. You need the number three.

Three is a funny number.”

“I’m not trying to be funny, officer. I believe my friend, Alan, ran away with my wife.”

“I know where you’re going with this, Dick. Now you are going to say, ‘And I really miss him?’ Sorry, but that’s a bit predictable. But the comic reversal here has potential. Just needs a little tweaking. “ “Look, I am not writing a humor column.

My wife is gone. When she left the house two days ago, I saw her getting in Alan’s Honda.”

“What a waste of potential amusement, Dick. Try saying a Buick or a Pontiac. Good use of the K sound is what you’re after here. By the way, scrap the name Alan.

No one can form a clear mental picture of what someone named Alan would look like.

You need a Bubba or a Reginald. Think visually, for heaven’s sake.”

“Look, for the absolute last time, I am not writing a humor column. I am not trying to be amusing. My wife has run away with my best friend. His name is Alan, not Bubba.

I do not miss him. I miss her. I saw them leave together in a Honda. Now, maybe I’m being overly suspicious, but doesn’t that seem a little funny to you?”

“No, Dick, not the way you tell it.”

Do you know if you have dense breasts?

Commentary by Dr. Erica Giblin

Do you know if you have dense breasts?

Most women don’t know, unless they have had a screening mamprevention mogram report.

Dense breast tissue isn’t related to a woman’s overall body size, breast cup size or how ‘lumpy’ the breasts feel on self-breast exam. Breast tissue density is determined on the mammogram image.

So, what is breast density? The breasts are composed of fatty tissue and milk-duct gland tissue. Some women have mostly fatty tissue and some women have mostly milk-duct gland tissue. Those that have mostly fatty tissue do not have dense breasts. Those who have mostly milk-duct gland tissue do have dense breast tissue.

Dense breast tissue is extremely common. In fact, 50 percent of women who go for a screening mammogram have dense breast tissue. Indiana law requires women with dense breast tissue who undergo screening mammogram to receive a mammogram report informing them that they have dense breast tissue.

Why does this matter? Because the

denser the breasts are, the harder it is for the mammogram to find a breast cancer hiding in the dense breast tissue. Mammograms can be less accurate in women with dense breasts because sometimes the breast tumors are indistinguishable from the dense breast tissue.

What can be done about this? Find a better test to distinguish breast cancer from dense breast tissue.

Abbreviated breast MRI (screening breast MRI), or AB-MRI, is a new, game-changing technology that improves breast cancer screening in women with dense breast tissue. AB-MRI is painless and quick – takes less than 10 minutes – and the results are superior to digital mammography. Compared to mammography, which detects 5 to 6 cancers per 1,000 patients, AB-MRI is an improvement that can detect 15 cancers per 1,000 patients.

Better tests mean better outcomes for patients. That’s why it matters.

Dr. Erica Giblin is the medical director of breast care services for St. Vincent with clinic locations at St. Vincent Carmel (317-582-9355) and St. Vincent Indianapolis (317-338-9300)

Get ready for reaching the finish line

Commentary by Dr. F. Andrew Rowan Whether you’re a walker or a runner, you can start your training plan and avoid injuries with these tips.

How should I get started if I want to train for a race?

There are lots of resources available for training, and many will running cater to your individual needs. If you’re looking for a running group, check your local gym or running apparel store. A running group is a good option if you like having accountability and a set training schedule.

The internet also can be a helpful tool, and it is full of customizable plans. The key with any training plan is to start where you feel comfortable. Consider the running pace, mileage and intensity of the training plan. Be realistic about your goals, and if you haven’t exercised recently, check in with your primary care physician beforehand to make sure it’s safe.

What are common injuries for runners, and how can those injuries be prevented?

Most injuries, such as shin splints, strains, muscle spasm or plantar fasciitis,

BOOK A BREAK THIS SPRING SAVE ON YOUR AC TUNE-UP. THE EARLIER YOU BOOK, THE MORE YOU SAVE. Start a training plan to prevent injury. (Stock photo)

are repetitive strain injuries. These injuries happen when your muscles and tendons are overworked. Prevent this by sticking to your training program – don’t skip a week or move too fast. Regular exercise keeps your muscles moving and your joints loose, which reduces the chance of a repetitive strain injury. Don’t forget to do a thorough warm-up and cool-down before and after exercise, and to leave enough time for rest between workouts.

It’s common to be sore during training, but what are signs I might be injured?

Typical soreness comes with any workout. Most soreness will settle after resting and stretching. If you feel a sharp

pain, or if your symptoms are persistent, those are warning signs of injury.

Injuries can happen to any runner, and treatment often involves rest and rehabilitation. If you do suffer an injury, that doesn’t always mean you can’t participate in your race. Talk with your doctor about your options for crossing the finish line.

Bangs Labs celebrates 30 years

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Bangs Laboratories, 9025 Technology Dr. in Fishers, celebrated anniversary 30 years of operation April 1. The company manufactures uniform polymer, silica and magnetic microsphere products for diagnostic, research and flow cytometry applications. It was originally established in Dr. Leigh and Sonia Bangs’ home in 1988.

Kathy Kilbride, manager of technical services and marketing, said the anniversary was celebrated internally. The laboratory was under construction at the time.

“We are under an office expansion, so (we were) still under construction when the anniversary hit,” Kilbride said. “During the course of the next 12 to 18 months, we own the building next to us and are expanding onto that property with additional lab and office space.”

Kilbride said the company has grown during the past three decades and Bangs still resides in the area.

“It’s been 30 years for us, and it has grown from Leigh and Sonia and a family business to what is now about 30 employees,” she said. “Our facility here is about

18,000 square feet, and the building next door has about the same footprint. We have really grown considerably.”

In 2003, Bangs Laboratories was purchased by Mike Ott and joined forces with Polysciences, Inc. and became a whollyowned subsidiary of the company. Bangs Laboratories and Polysciences operate as independent companies.

Elaine and Fernando Salgado are the owners of Some Like It Hot. (Submitted photo)

Noblesville business owners expand their ‘hot’ company

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Some Like It Hot began as a small Fishers Farmers Market operation the summer of 2016, but co-owner Elaine growth Salgado soon realized there was a market for tamales and salsa.

“We wanted to see if there was a market out there for tamales and salsa, and within the third week of us being at the farmers market we started selling 500 tamales and 1,500 ounces of salsa in four hours on Saturdays, and we capped it at that,” Salgado said.

The recipes are her husband Fernando’s, who hails from Mexico. The couple lives in Noblesville.

“He loves to cook, which is why people were trying to convince us to start a restaurant, but we said no, we don’t want to be tied down, so the farmers market was a good alternative,” Salgado said.

Some Like It Hot is a part of Indiana Grown, which connects retailers with locally grown items. A food broker contacted

the Salgados, and Some Like It Hot has started to expand. It will now be sold at Market District in Carmel and is distributed through Piazza Produce.

“Market District tried our food, and in the same meeting, they said this is what we want,” Salgado said. “That was just within the last month.”

The Salgados have set their goals higher.

They want to distribute across the state and possibly the nation. To do so, Some Like It Hot must operate out of a commercial kitchen, which the Salgados are seeking.

Salgado encourages other small businesses to not be afraid to take the leap in order to grow.

“Take advice from other people, be willing to have an open mind and keep working hard and take that scary step,” she said.

“It’s hard. It’s hard to let go of a full-time job and just plunge into it, into the unknown, but you can’t make it if you don’t (try). It’s scary, but it’s thrilling and really exciting, and right now it’s paying off.”

Nickel Plate Arts presents sixth annual Fairyville

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The Nickel Plate Arts campus in Noblesviille will once again be transformed into Fairyville. earth day “One of the reasons we do this event is it’s a chance to celebrate Earth Day by connecting nature and art, so it’s a fun way for families to celebrate Earth Day,” NPA Director Aili McGill said. “But it’s also great fun for kids because they can dress up and pretend with us. We’ll have real-life fairies on campus. It’s such a fun way to celebrate creativity. For anyone who is inspired by fairies or the magical world, it’s a fun way to celebrate spring.”

The sixth annual Fairyville is set for April 18 to 21 at NPA, 107 S. 8th St. The event starts with Winged Weekdays April 18-20 from noon to 5 p.m., with Fairy Tea Parties at 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. daily.

McGill said the entire event usually draws between 200 and 300 people.

Fairy Friday (April 20) and Sprite Saturday (April 21) are typically the busiest days.

“We’ll have music, storytellers and all sorts of fun stuff going on that (Friday) evening,” McGill said. “We have the Fairyville Trail set up. We have two branches of the trail this year, which is new. One branch will be the Nickel Plate campus west toward the River Walk and it will go along the River Walk. Then the other branch there will be Fairyville district around the historic square. Merchants are joining in with us and decorating their doors to show their doors are fairy-friendly, too.”

The fairy houses will be displayed along the trail.

“It’s kind of like a treasure hunt. You can get a map so you can find them all,” McGill said.

There also will be fairy storytelling and a Fairy Home awards show April 20.

The April 21 events feature fairy crafts, fairy-themed face painting and more Fairy Tea Parties from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with tea parties starting at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.

“They will all be there Friday night and we’ll also be there Saturday, but we don’t know the timing of that,” McGill said.

There is a fairy house decorating contest and crafts. McGill said the winning fairy house is determined by the audience.

Sharon O’Connell plays the hammer dulcimer at last year’s Fairyville.

“There is a wide range of experience building fairy houses as well as people of all ages do this,” McGill said. “We’ll have professionals submitted. We’ll also have some fun houses made by 5- and 6-yearolds. They are all going to be amazing.”

The cost for Tea Parties is $10 and $5 for NPA members. Fairy crafts and face painting is $5 each. Proceeds benefit Nickel Plate Arts programs.

Follow the North Star to return

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Conner Prairie’s program depicting slavery and the journey for freedom along the Underground Railroad in history 1836 will return for its 20th season from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

April 20, 21, 27 and 28.

“Follow the North Star is an immersive, participatory museum theater experience where we invite visitors to assume the role of an enslaved person seeking freedom in 1836 on the Underground Railroad,” said Catherine Hughes, director of museum theater and research at Conner Prairie. “You encounter a variety of characters that are people representing different attitudes and perspectives from that day. Some are friendly, and some are not.”

Participants go through an orientation prior to the program and a debrief after. Participants must be 12 or older. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

During orientation, all participants receive a white fabric and are advised that if the event becomes too intense, they are to tie the fabric around their heads. If used, they will still experience the program but

from a more-removed position. Participants using the fabric can opt to remove it again to rejoin the program. Typically, participating groups consist of 15 to 17 people.

Many participants are from local schools.

“The majority of our audience has developed organically into school groups because (the subject matter) ties in with eighth grade and 11th-grade Indiana history curriculum,” Hughes said. “It’s a very powerful experience, so teachers have really committed themselves to the program for many years because they saw such a great response in their students.”

Tickets are $17 to $20 and can be purchased at connerprairie.org.

Art on Main sets reception

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Anna Afshar’s painting career started quite by accident “My painting journey startexhibit ed with the moment when my then-2-year-old son left his paints and brushes on the table and ran off to play, and I thought, ‘Hmm, I haven’t painted in years, maybe I should try? How could I capture those reflections in the water?’” said Afshar, a Fishers resident. “It was almost 20 years ago, and it has been an incredible journey that totally changed my life. I was a research scientist in a big diagnostic company then. I own a studio in the Stutz building in downtown (Indianapolis) now, and I cannot be happier.”

Afshar and Freddie Kelvin will be the featured artists at Art on Main in Carmel this month. There will be a reception “Time to Escape” for both artists from 6 to 9 p.m.

April 20 at the gallery, 111 W. Main. St. “The highlight of our exhibit will be faraway places that Freddie and I escape to quite often,” Afshar said. “My recent escape was to Florida, so my part of the exhibition is about water, sun and exotic places where you can relax, sail, read a book or

have a glass of wine with your date. There will be all new works.”

Afshar paints in all three mediums, watercolor, oil and acrylic.

Kelvin, a Carmel resident, said the theme of his photography exhibit is predominantly water-related.

“And this includes several reflections, which I find fascinating because reflections in the water are where the real and abstract worlds collide,” Kelvin said. “As a result, photographs of reflections often look more like paintings than realistic photographs. A smaller part of my exhibition is related to dance, as I am a passionate photographer of modern dance and ballet.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Zionsville kitchen expansion Commentary by Larry Greene

After solutions

Before

Background Info: This 1980s home in the Colony Woods neighborhood of Zionsville is a perfect space for the homeowners to raise their family. The original kitchen, however, made it tough for the busy family to entertain.

The goal was to create a large open-concept kitchen that allowed the homeowners to entertain comfortably and increase overall functionality of the space.

1. The largest modification was removing the wall between the kitchen and the main hallway and utilizing the extra space to add a 10-foot island.

2. Bulkheads were removed and all new ceiling height cabinetry was added to make the space appear larger.

3. The new cabinetry is equipped with accessories, like charging ports and pantry pullouts, for functional storage.

4. Widening doorways and new flooring made the lower level feel like more of an open concept.

5. New countertops, backsplash, hardware and plumbing fixtures finished off the modern kitchen design.

After

Before problems The previous kitchen was long and narrow, making it hard for multiple people to be in the space at once.

Additionally, the bulkheads made the ceilings appear lower and the room feel smaller. The kitchen contained its original cabinets, which lacked appeal and functionality.

People are royally ticked about pretty much everything: Guns, kneeling, not kneeling, walls, refugees, Starbucks (in general) and anything that remotely resembles a political stance. And, if you’re not outraged about any or all of the above, there’s an outrage for that, too.

Because of this, I’d like to put forward a controversial idea (no, I’m not talking about the all-emoji newspaper again): the interrobang.

The interrobang (‽) is the passionate love child of the question mark and the exclamation point. And, while it is currently considered a nonstandard form of punctuation, it simultaneously questions your competence and yells at you. How dare you take ______ position on _____ issue‽ Who do you think you are‽ You put pineapples on your pizza‽ What’s wrong with you‽ The interrobang is distinctly American: insulting, yet efficient.

Conceived by Martin Speckter in 1962,

the idea of the interrobang actually gained some popularity for a hot second. Although most of our computer fonts don’t support it, the interrobang was available on select typewriters in the late 1960s into the 1970s.

I think we’re living in the midst of the interrobang era; therefore, it’s time to bring it into the mainstream. But in order to type it easily, we’d have to vote off one of the characters on our standard computer keyboards. What symbol gets the boot?

How about the tilde (~)? Or maybe the little upside down v thing above the 6 (^)? When’s the last time you used either of those?

In the same way that the MerriamWebster dictionary adds words based on popular usage (and not necessarily critical approval), what does it take to get a punctuation mark added to common usage? If listicle and humblebrag made their way into the dictionary last year, the interrobang should receive serious consideration as an addition to our bag of punctuation options.

Arc de Triomphe in Paris. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Reusable food wraps — Bee’s Wrap makes reusable wraps of organic cotton and beeswax to use for lunches instead of plastic sandwich bags. After lunch, simply rinse and reuse. Cost is about $21 for one sandwich and two snack wraps. Available at BeesWrap.com.

Quick salad dressing — When you have an almost empty jam or jelly jar, add a quarter cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and salt and pepper. Cover and shake well, then add a half-cup of olive oil and shake again. You’ll have a nice vinaigrette to use on your salads.

Napoleon’s triumphant arch Commentary by Don Knebel The Arc de Triomphe is the most famous monument in Paris, inspiring both a notorious aerial stunt and an honored American memorial. travel In 1805, forces under Napoleon defeated Russian and Austrian armies in the Battle of Austerlitz. Now seeing himself in the fashion of victorious Roman emperors, Napoleon decided that he should be able to march his troops into Paris beneath a triumphal arch.

He selected Place de l’Étoile (Square of the Star), a plaza at the western end of the Champs Elysees named for its 12 radiating streets, for an arch modeled on Rome’s Arch of Titus. After repeated delays, the 148-foot by 164-foot arch, officially named Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile, was dedicated in 1836 during the reign of King Louis Philippe. By this time, Napoleon had been exiled to Helena and never saw his arch, but his body was carried beneath it after being returned to Paris on order of the king in 1840.

On July 14, 1919, French troops marched under the Arc de Triomphe to celebrate their victory in World War I. Three NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Case No. VA-11276 The City of Fishers Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a public hearing on the 25th day of April, 2018 at the City of Fishers City Hall, One Municipal Drive, Fishers IN, at 6:00 p.m. The application submitted

The subject property has a common address of 13515 Lake Ridge Lane, McCordsville, IN 46055 and is generally located on Lot 421 in the Springs of Cambridge single family residential subdivision (a legal description is on file with the City of Fishers, Department of Planning and Zoning).

weeks later, a French pilot, offended that airmen had been required to parade on foot, famously flew his biplane through the 48-foot wide arch opening. In 1920, France’s Unknown Soldier was buried beneath the arch. On November 11, 1923, War Minister Andre Maginot lit an eternal flame near the tomb. Each evening at 6:30 p.m., veterans’ groups ceremonially rekindle the flame to remember the sacrifices of French war dead. The moving ceremony inspired Jacqueline Kennedy to place an eternal flame on President Kennedy’s grave in Arlington National Cemetery.

Visitors can climb 284 steps to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, where they can get a spectacular view of the Champs Elysees, considered by many to be the most beautiful street in the world.
