Fishers hosts October Farmers Market

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com Every Saturday through the end of October, the City of Fishers things to do and Fishers Parks & Recreation are hosting the first-ever October Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to noon at Holland Park.

The market features vendors and farmers in indoor and outdoor spaces.

They sell seasonal produce, pumpkins, squash, mums and baked goods, among other products.

Sandquist “We’re very excited to be starting the market (this month),” Parks & Recreation Director Sarah Sandquist said. “We’ve had a lot of feedback from the community that they were interested in extending the market through October. There’s a lot of produce

left still to harvest and to make available to the community.”

Sandquist said purchasing items from the farmers market is a good way to support local farmers and vendors.

“In order to be a vendor at the farmers market, everything has to be locally sourced and created,” Sandquist said. “In prepared food, we make sure all of their ingredients are locally sourced, so you know that you’re not buying a tomato that has been sitting on a truck traveling from 2,000 miles away that was picked when it was green and chemically ripened. You know that it was grown in Indiana with care by local farmers.”

The Winter Farmers Market will return every Saturday from Nov. 3 through March 16, 2019 at Holland Park from 9 a.m. to noon.

Sandquist said some items to look forward to are the cold-weather crops, pasteurized meat, jellies and honey, baked goods, prepared foods and more. The winter market also will feature cooking demonstrations and events like National Winnie the Pooh Day Jan. 19, 2019, which will focus on the market’s honey vendors.

alternative expertise Business owner talks battling rare disease, finding success at Fort Harrison

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Doctors told Amanda Parker she wouldn’t live past 21. cover story At age 41, she’s thriving as the president and owner of Collective Alternative, a marketing firm based at Fort Harrison in Lawrence, which Parker began in 2008.

She manages an incurable and very rare blood disease, polycythemia vera. According to the Mayo Clinic, the disease causes bone marrow to grow too many red blood cells, causing the blood to thicken and move too slowly through the body.

“It’s a genetic blood disease where my blood reproduces too thick,” Parker said.

“If you know anything about migraines, they’re clusters where your blood kind of clots together. I started having terrible migraines at age 15 and found out that I had experienced a couple of TIAs (transient ischemic attacks), which are mini strokes.

I was seeing a neurologist and eventually ended up with about 14 mini strokes by age 20. I was told I would have a fatal stroke by the time I was 21, and this past August, I celebrated my 41st birthday. Not too shabby

for 20 years later.”

Recently, Parker said she began seeing a different specialist, who is using a more holistic approach to treat the disease. Her treatment changes as medical advancements are made.

“It’s exciting for me to see the changes (in treatment),” Parker said. “When I first started having migraines, it was something no one had really heard of. Nobody knew anything about them, and they barely had a name, let alone any type of treatment or medication.”

At the end of September, Eli Lilly received approval from the Food and Drug Administration for the drug galcanezumab, a migraine preventative, which will commercially be called Emgality. It is expected to be offered free for one year to patients who need it and have insurance.

“That is so exciting to me because the medicines before have been designed or created for something else,” Parker said.

“Like one of them was created for cerebral palsy, and it just happened to help with migraines.”

Parker’s career in marketing began at an advertising agency writing commercials and is where she developed her passion to

help others and small businesses.

“When I was attending Indiana University, I studied English, creative and technical writing, but what do you do with a degree like that?” Parker said. “Then, I went into an agency and started writing commercials for TV and radio. I quickly learned about mediabuying and then client services, strategy and development and loved that, so I really focused on (strategy), came up the ranks on the agency side, and then I wanted to experience the client side, so then I was the vice president of marketing for Hansen & Horn Homebuilders for five years.

“While there, I learned that agencies are great for big budgets, but they’re not great for mom and pops or small, local businesses that have no marketing knowledge, don’t have time for marketing, don’t event know what to do if they had time for it,” she added. “So, I wanted to go out and help them.

(In 2008), with the economy the way it was, it was kind of a do-or-die atmosphere, so I really wanted to help and bring them a different side of expertise they didn’t already have. So, I focused on small and local, and we’ve been doing that since.”

choosing fort harrison Collective Alternative began in Amanda Parker’s home, but it has grown in the past two years.

“We worked out of my house for quite some time. My big thing about my (home) office was the dog bed and I always wanted to be around my dogs, and I didn’t think I could ever get a space where they’d allow my dogs to come,” Parker said. “Eventually, there were seven (employees) in my living room, and I knew I was going to need to make a sacrifice. So, we really looked for a place that fit us and found Fort Ben. The area was growing a lot and really making changes, and I’ve loved to see that growth over the past couple of years.”

Parker and her team moved into the building at 5665 N. Post Rd. in August 2016. Six months later, Parker would remove the wall to incorporate the suite next door, and last month, the company took over the suite across the hall. Parker and her staff regularly bring their dogs to the office.

meet amanda parker Amanda Parker moved around a bit before settling in Lawrence. Her father was a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed at Grissom Air Force Reserve near Kokomo.

At the time of diagnosis of her blood disorder she lived in CoParker lumbus, Ind., having moved there after her dad retired from the Air Force and began flying commercial planes for Cummins Engine Co., which is based in Columbus. She lives just north of her business and Fort Harrison, in the Lawrence Township area near Geist Reservoir. Parker is married to Ross, whom she met while attending Indiana University in Bloomington. They have three dogs, who often serve as office dogs at Collective Alternative.

Parker also recently has been named

by Forbes, Fortune, The Oprah Magazine and Entrepreneur magazines as a leading woman in business.

ESSA Y Life’s seasons

LE T T ER Brooks favors reducing Medicare, Social Security

Commentary by Terry Anker Our bodies carry us through this world like self-contained citystates. Each consumes resources, manufactures energy, grows and rebuilds. Cells are replaced, attackers are repelled and borders are held firm. In spite of a bit of expansion that accumulates over the years around the equator, we govern our territory fairly automatically.

Then, the years pile up and our infrastructure can use a bit of investment. Those we love transition imperceptibly at first, but time waits for no one. For some, graying hair may signal the changing season. For others, the furnace adds another shift as menopause turns up the thermostat. The web is rife with anecdote, conflicting notions, abundant data and confusing allegory. Some posts raise more questions than answers. Still, managing the mystery can make it all a bit less difficult.

Then, is it possible that men suffer much the same in different ways? Increasing weakness and loss of stamina continue to consume them even as the people in their lives seem to require more. One can surf the untamed internet seeking insight on this notion of manopause but little is garnered.

The point, of course, is not to lament the inevitability of what is, but to come to understand and hope to advance in our lives looking ever forward rather than as an aging Narcissus. As quickly as we adjust to the present, it becomes the past. With autumn continuing its slow retreat, we collectively assume an attitude of readiness. Frigid, short and gray days will become the standard. Even so, warm, sunny ones will replace them soon enough.

Living the fantasy nightmare Commentary by Danielle Wilson Well, I’ve gone and jinxed myself. Heading in to Week 5 of the fantasy football season, I am a horrifying oh-and-four. humor That’s zero wins, people. After publicly bragging about how my dance-mom superpowers would transfer perfectly to the make-believe world of starting, benching and trading professional football players, not one of my thoughtful and well-researched decisions has panned out, and mine remains the only team in a league of 10 without a W. In all fairness to me, injuries have plagued my motley crew. As our commissioner put it, I was running a MASH unit for the first month. Most of my stars are back, thank the Lord, but now luck has decided to abandon me. To wit, though, I racked up the second-highest point total last week. I just happened to play the team that scored the most. Come on, man! Can’t a gal catch a break?

Apparently not, and that’s the worst part.

I feel like I’m letting down womankind, or at least those ladies who care about sports.

As the lone female owner, I’d had dreams of showing the boys “how it is done,” that it didn’t matter that I’m a girl who’s never played a game of football in her life, that really all you need to succeed is a mother’s intuition and internet access. But that dream appears to be circling the drain, so to speak.

There is still plenty of time for me to recover, but I’ll be honest, I’m worried about my prospects for domination. Therefore, I humbly apologize for my earlier smacktalk. This fantasy stuff is hard! There. Am I unjinxed?

Peace out.

Editor, 5th District U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks has a record of supporting measures contrary to the interests of senior citizens. She supports the Budget for a Brighter American Future, which, over the next decade, would cut $537 billion from Medicare. It would raise Medicare’s eligibility age from 65 to 67, increase deductibles and replace Medicare’s guaranteed coverage with a flatvoucher payment system. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this would result in most Medicare recipients paying much higher premiums.

Brooks also voted for House Joint Resolution 2, which would change Social Security rules to require that benefits be paid only out of current-year receipts without drawing on the Social Security Trust Fund surplus, and to freeze Social Security rates regardless of benefit obligations. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that Social Security benefits would be reduced by 17 percent.

Dee Thornton, Brooks’ opponent in the upcoming November election, will protect programs into which seniors have paid for decades. She supports maintaining and strengthening the Social Security and Medicare safety nets.

Vote for Dee Thornton on Nov. 6.

VETCHECK PET URGENT CARE CENTER LOCATED IN FISHERS, IN FOR BOTH WELLNESS AND URGENT PET CARE NEEDS

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Last week, I looked back on our longtime handyman who became a good friend.

When he passed in 2005 of humor cancer, I wrote this: I once told Steve he was the greatest handyman east of the Mississippi. Steve said he could easily be the best handyman west of the Mississippi, also. I think he considered moving to Utah just to prove his point.

I can never replace Steve as a friend, but I do have to find another fix-it guy. Over the past year, as Steve’s condition worsened, my garage door fell apart, the molding on a kitchen cabinet peeled off, the toilet seat broke and the garbage disposal stopped working.

Because I was loyal to Steve and felt certain he would recover from his illness, I left things broken. Knowing him, I thought he’d be at my front door again very soon. Steve knew better. He was very practical and realistic about things. That’s why he was such a good handyman.

I will miss Steve chiding me for being totally useless. When Steve fixed something, he made it look easy.

Now that Steve is gone, my wife fears I may try to fix something without professional help.

“Can’t you call someone?” she asked the other day. “The hanging rod in my closet has been broken for a week.”

“Who am I going to call, Mary Ellen?”

“Dick, you know everyone. That’s what you do for a living. For example, don’t you know someone who taught his llamas to square dance?”

“They never miss a step.”

“And the man who eats earthworms for his daily protein?”

Benefits of 3-D mammogram – Is a 3-D mammogram really worth the extra cost?

The 3-D images make it easier to distinguish normal breast tissue from tumors, so it’s harder for cancers to hide. That means better detection and fewer false positives and callbacks, when you’re asked to come back because of a potentially abnormal finding. So, even though it costs a bit more, it may be worth it in the long run.

Cardio exercise is important for heart health, but weight training is crucial to retaining muscle.

Fishers virtuoso to conduct at Butler Arts Center

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com Michael Scherperel is an accomplished composer, pianist, voice coach and author who also has a background in music biomedical research.

But that’s not all.

The Fishers resident also is an acclaimed conductor whose skill will be on display Oct. 23 as part of the Duckwall Artist Series at the Butler Arts Center in Indianapolis, 4602 Sunset Ave. Scherperel, 71, will conduct a concert featuring baritone vocalist Oliver Worthington and tenor DavidMichael Schuster, accompanied by chamber ensembles. The performance, which features two of Scherperel’s compositions, begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Edison-Duckwall Recital Hall. Admission is free.

“Music as drama and entertainment, those are my goals as a composer and performer,” said Scherperel, who is the assistant conductor and principal coach for the Butler Opera. “Both of these works are stories, and I would hope the audience would be both aurally and emotionally moved by what they will hear.”

Scherperel has performed previously in the Duckwall Artist Series but has never conducted. He looks forward to his first opportunity, especially since he is conducting his own pieces, “On Hearing of Love” and “Ecgloga bucolica.”

A six-movement piece, “On Hearing of Love” incorporates the poems of Constantin Cavafy and is sung by Worthington, accompanied by string quartet. “Ecgloga bucolica,” set around Virgil’s Eclogue II, will be sung by Schuster, accompanied by flute/piccolo, English horn, violin and piano. “(‘On Hearing of Love’) traces the course of a man’s life, his loves and his art,” Scherperel said. “The piece was premiered in 2005. The second piece is a setting in classical Latin of Virgil’s second Eclogue, and this performance will be the premiere.”

As his resume suggests, Scherperel is a virtuoso who has plied his craft most of his life. He studied composition and conducting at the Eastman School of Music

ATI’s Fall Barn Bash set for Oct. 20 editorial@youarecurrent.com The Actors Theatre of Indiana’s Fall Barn Bash is set from 6:30 to 11 p.m. Oct. 20 at Demaree Barn, 615 Starkey Rd., Zionsville Dwight Lightning and the Conch City AllStars will perform. There will be a pig roast, cowboy cocktails, Sun King beer and games.

ATI co-founders Judy Fitzpatrick, Don Farrell and Cynthia Collins collaborated on the following statement.

“We rely on the support of individuals who believe in the importance of live, professional theatre in Central Indiana. For ATI to continue to bring the high-quality productions and programs we are known for to Carmel and the surrounding areas, we need the support.

We are so grateful to our patrons, sponsors and the foundations who believe in us. This event is a chance for people to invest in ATI, helping to ensure that we will always be here to engage, educate, entertain and enlighten our community from the most seasoned patron to the child experiencing theatre for the first time.”

in Rochester, N.Y. and did undergraduate work in piano, composition and conducting at Boston University. He has also been a vocal coach at the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria, and been a chorus master and assistant conductor with the Greater Miami Opera.

But playing, conducting and writing music isn’t his only skill.

Outside of music, Scherperel has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Harvard University and is a former biomedical researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also has authored a novel, “Fair to Middling,” and written a collection of humorous essays, “homo sapiens — obsolescens?”

But music, and conducting, in particular, is his passion.

“A conductor is not a time beater. That’s pretty much what a drum major does for a marching band,” Scherperel said. “It

is an important role, but on the concert stage or in the theater, the conductor’s job is to keep things going and to adjust as needed for any performance glitches that might occur.

“Cueing can be important in large works, especially where players may have dozens or scores of measures of rest,” he continued. “It’s the player’s responsibility to count all those, but a little reminder from the conductor at the appropriate moment, ‘Hey, it’s your turn,’ can be helpful, possibly even vital.”

A former South Florida resident, Scheperel and his wife, accomplished organist and music teacher Loretta Scheperel, moved to Fishers in 2012 to be closer to their daughter.

“It was so successful that we decided this year we wanted to partner with Indy Urban Flea,” said Lucas, who sells a variety of boutique candles, antiques, vintage clothing and collectibles.

Indy Urban Flea is owned by Lisa Ripley.

Address: Inside Sun King Spirits, 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel What to get: Chicken tacos.

Price: $8 Anna’s take: La Margarita offers three different taco options – chorizo, chicken and carnitas en chile verde. I ordered the chicken tacos. Two come per order. They are cradled in double, blue corn soft tortillas. The most unique aspect to the tacos is the chicharron, or fried chicken skins. The chicharron added an extra flavor and crackle. The tacos, however, were already bursting with flavor from a mild chile pesto, crumbled queso fresco and a tart bite from pickled red onions and cilantro. Lime wedges are served alongside.

I suggest you don’t dither over the tacos because the generous filling will burst through the soft shells if not consumed

La Margarita is one of four restaurants inside Sun King Spirits, a new taproom and distillery just off the Monon near downtown Carmel.

When it’s time to order food, guests enter the eatery from which they wish to order.

Suggested pairings: Pair your tacos with Sun King’s Pachanga, a Mexican-style lager with a crisp malt flavor.

Power posturing for ladder-climbing supervisors Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt Do you want to hit the fast-forward button on your career? Do you want to collect underlings like baseball cards? If so, I suggest adopting a grammar guy few fundamental power postures.

This is all about making yourself look as big as possible. Wear as many jackets as possible; you’ll be sweaty, but your co-workers will fear you.

Also, stand like you’re trying to scare away a bear in the forest.

My favorite power posture takes some work. Before anyone else gets into the office, make everyone else’s chair shorter than yours so you’ll look like a giant. It may take some MacGyver ingenuity to accomplish this, but you’re destined for greatness. Do what it takes to literally rise above everyone else. Before you know it, they’ll all be your subordinates.

Just like it’s essential to view everyone at work as a subordinate, it’s also crucial to recognize a subordinate sentence clause when you see one. A subordinate, or dependent clause, is a clause that can’t stand alone as a sentence, but it adds meaning to a sentence’s main clause. The main clause, which is independent, can stand on its own. How about some examples?

I am going to work this morning.

This sentence stands on its own; however, that’s not all the information or meaning I intend to convey. Allow me to introduce a subordinate clause: I am going to work this morning if I can find my keys.

In this sentence, “if I can find my keys” not only doesn’t stand alone as a sentence, but it adds some important additional information into the sentence. This clause is a subordinate clause.

The word that introduces the subordinate clause itself is called a subordinator, which sounds like some kind of underwater Terminator knock-off movie. Common subordinators include because, since, if, although, while, before, after, unless and until. If your subordinate clause begins your sentence, always add a comma after the clause. Becoming familiar with these subordinators will make it easy for you to recognize subordinate clauses.

If you want that six-figure check, you’re going to have to tower over the mere mortal coworkers who either want to be you or date you.

Dispatches Indoor air quality — To improve indoor air quality, one of the easiest fixes is to replace paraffin candles with beeswax candles.
