Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. officials know pickleball is a sports growing sport in Fishers and planned to gradually double the amount of courts at Cyntheanne Park from four to eight.

But thanks to the park’s outreach program and donations from the community, the park will add the new courts before the end of the year, parks director Sarah Sandquist said.

“The pickleball community responded and said, ‘What can we do to make this happen sooner because we need those four courts right away, so how can we help to fundraise additional funds to do the entire project all at once?’” Sandquist said.

Through the outreach of the park’s foundation and several donations from the community, the group raised $75,000 to immediately double the four courts that were built in 2015. Construction is almost complete.

By building all of the new courts at once, park officials said they saved money on the

project.

“We plan to do a tournament in the spring. Now that we have eight courts, it’s one of the bigger pickleball complexes in the region,” Sandquist said. “So, we plan to do a tournament in the spring and then do a formal ribbon cutting of new courts once everything is done.”

With fall under way, pickleball season is almost over. Sandquist said the parks department plans to conduct an official celebration next spring.

Quakenbush will be the county’s new sheriff

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Republican Dennis Quakenbush will replace Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen, who could not run again election because of Indiana term limits for sheriffs, in 2019 to serve a four-year term.

Quakenbush rose to the top of a group of four Republican candidates in the May primary election, beating Bill Clifford, Eddie Moore and Mitch Russell. On Nov. 6, Quakenbush defeated Democrat Jason Straw and Libertarian Dorn Brenton.

By the end of election night, Quakenbush received 82,499 votes (59.95 percent), compared to Straw’s 48,810 votes (35.9 percent) and Brenton’s 4,663 votes (3.43 votes).

Quakenbush said serving under both Sheriff Doug Carter and Sheriff Mark Bowen played a major role in preparing him for the role.

ESSA Y Gift of giving

LE T T ER A case of the roundabouts

Commentary by Terry Anker Just as sure as the calendar turns and the leaves pile under the trees, our collective thinking lurches forward to the coming season.

Hopes fade for family picnics, turning instead towards a crackling fire in the hearth. Retail stores bring forth holiday merchandise with Thanksgiving granted a passing glance before the looming shopping season. In many homes, Halloween decorations are replaced by the flickering lights of Christmas.

The resolute among us hold out, with tradition dictating proper attention to each celebration. First, we feast on turkey and stuffing.

Then, we plan the roast beef and cranberries. No matter how we mark the season, for most of us it will include giving. We give to those beloved in our homes. We give to our friends and neighbors. We give to our colleagues, employees and to those who provide services to us throughout the year. Still more, we give to those in need. We give to the many institutions and organizations that serve. It is important to give. It feels good, and it matters. Do it.

Yet, for many, the time of generosity is challenged by anxiety about how to sort it all out. Even if the desire to give is strong, can we give too much? Which gift is too extravagant? Which agency is most equipped to serve those in need?

We are inundated with worthy requests. In 2017, nonprofits sent 166 individual requests to our family from Thanksgiving until New Year’s Eve – an additional 32 solicitations arrived via the U.S. Postal Service.

Some were industrious, sending as many as 11 pleas in the 40-day period. Because we answered the call of many, the mailbox will see scores more this year. Can there be too much?

Voting and flying shrimp tails Commentary by Danielle Wilson Our oldest came home from college during the weekend for a number of reasons, one of which was to celebrate his 20th humor birthday at Benihana. Since he also had scheduled an orthodontist appointment for Monday, G figured he could stay until Tuesday to vote. Doo and I congratulated ourselves on raising such a mature and responsible heir. Plus, we now had an excuse to see a hibachi chef chuck shrimp tails into his hat. Win-win!

Turns out G really couldn’t miss class, and because trying to find an hour to vote from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on a non-holiday Tuesday is nearly impossible for teachers/people who work (and utterly ridiculous if you’re asking me, which you kind of are since you’re reading this!), G and I decided we should cast our ballots early.

We started at one of the libraries, where the end of the line snaked through the DVD section. When I jokingly asked a volunteer

if “Pretty Woman” was the three-hour mark, she replied in all seriousness, “Probably.

Might be four.” We left.

Not to be deterred, we drove to another early voting site, which thankfully had a much shorter wait of only 95 minutes. In the end, I spent almost three hours essentially trapped with my very talkative son who acted like we hadn’t spoken since our last election adventure in 2016. Stephen King, politics, Netflix shows, accounting gibberish, fantasy every-sport — I was utterly exhausted by the time I finally voted.

But I made memories with my child, and when I add to those the impressive display of knife-flipping at dinner, it was truly a wonderful birthday celebration.

Peace out.

There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.

-Alexander Hamilton

Editor, We moved to Fishers in 1977 in the thenoriginal Sunblest development. The population was 900, and I went to my present doctor for the first time in 1982. When he moved to Zionsville, I still traveled to see him.

Recently, I went to see him because of a condition which I felt might be a form of vertigo. It comes and goes, usually when I am driving. Like vertigo, things go around and round, and it’s scary. I don’t like things to go around and round, especially when I’m driving.

The good doctor did his thing and then asked me to describe the sensation and when and how it seems to occur.

“On the way over it happened several times. In fact, I counted them, eight times,” I said.

Now, the good doctor is a smart man. He diagnosed the heart problem that led to my life-saving surgery. He smiled and left the room, returning with an iPad on which he had downloaded a map of 116th Street from Fishers to Zionsville. He pointed to eight intersections from the beginning of my trip to the end.

“The around and round gave it away!

You don’t have vertigo, you have ‘roundaboutigo,’” he said.

I left knowing the good doctor had done it again but realizing there is no cure for anyone living in Hamilton County. I will have “roundaboutigo” for life.

I had a chainsaw at our old house but found it to be very inefficient. I took it back to the dealer and told him it humor took me hours to cut down one little limb.

“Let me give it a try,” said the clerk, who then pulled the cord.

Varoom!

“Geez, what’s that noise?” I asked. “It never did that before.”

“Look, Mr. Wolfsie, I once saw you walk into a plate-glass window on your morning TV segment. You are not someone who should mess with power tools.”

I’m actually very good with power tools.

I have never once had a problem starting my lawn mower. I did have one accident, though. I almost broke my nose when I tripped over the extension cord to my weed wacker.

The chainsaw had been untouched in our old garage for about 25 years, which also is true of Step 4 of the Scott’s lawn fertilizer, because by the end of fall, I really don’t care what my lawn looks like.

During last year’s storms, a fairly goodsized tree had blown down and grazed the

side of the house. My wife immediately panicked.

“Relax,” I told her. “We’re OK.” “No, we’re in danger! This means you’re going to use that chainsaw.”

The next day, I dug through the garage and found it. There was one doo-dad labeled “choke,” and I did. There was a little plastic bubble that I vaguely remembered I had to push several times. I pulled the cord 30 times. Suddenly, the motor began to hum. But the chain didn’t turn.

I found a nearby repair shop and drove over. An elderly gentleman asked if he could assist me. He picked up the saw, pushed a button and said: “The safety was on.”

I didn’t bat an eye.

“Thanks! What do I owe you?” I asked the man, who now looked vaguely familiar.

“Forget it,” he offered.

Then, as I started to leave, he added: “Be careful, Mr. Wolfsie. You’re about to walk into another plate-glass window.”

How to cope with cancer Commentary by Jill Dodson A new cancer diagnosis can change your life and the lives of diagnosis those around. Here are some tips for survivorship and coping with cancer.

Take control It’s common to feel overwhelmed with a new cancer diagnosis, but patients often feel better once they feel more in control of the situation and have a treatment plan in place. Here’s what you can do to help patients and loved ones feel in control: Gather information about the diagnosis from your care team and reliable websites.

Communicate clearly with your medical team. Write questions down in advance of your appointments, bring someone with you and seek a second opinion if necessary.

Don’t be afraid to ask family and friends for help and support.

Treat yourself with kindness as you go through this journey.

Be aware of benefits offered through your employer. Talk to your human resources department about disability and

leave benefits and check if you have critical illness or accident insurance. Encourage those who will be caring for you to do the same.

Organize your medical bills. The financial impact of a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming.

Find a healthy outlet for your stress.

Build a support system Anxiety and depression are not uncommon when dealing with cancer. That is why a solid support system is critical.

But where can you find support? Start with your medical provider and be open about how you are feeling and coping.

This helps your medical provider connect you to resources, such as social workers, nurse navigators and support groups.

Finally, don’t overlook family and friends who offer to help. Remember, people like to feel needed. Whether it’s an offer to cook a meal or run an errand, learn to graciously accept support.

Jill Dodson is an oncology social worker at IU Health North Hospital.

dispatches Kids and flu season - Whether or not your child gets vaccinated for the flu is a personal choice that only you as a parent should make. But regardless of your decision, it’s essential to take other steps to support your child’s immune system to reduce his/ her risk of catching the flu and to increase the child’s ability to recover quickly if illness does occur. And the good news is, you don’t need harsh drugs to do this! Sleep is an important factor. No medicine is a substitute for adequate and quality sleep. Make sure your child gets eight to 10 hours a night. Fish oil also helps. It helps with brain function, energy and healthy hormone development in growing kids. Though it does not directly act as an antiviral, a fish oil supplement strengthens the body, which promotes a robust immune system. Few children get adequate amounts of fish oil in their diets.

Fish oil is generally safe for children ages four and older.

Treating kids flu - If your child gets the flu, your best bet is to see your doctor. You’ll get an accurate diagnosis and rule out any complications or related concerns, such as a concurrent bacterial infection on top of the

flu or bronchitis - especially if your child has a high fever and/or pain in the ears or chest.

Launching Station benefits veterans

From left, Nathan Press (child), Nathan Press, Michelle Press, Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear and Nolan Press cut the ribbon to Launching Station at Hamilton Town Center. (Submitted photo)

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com U.S. Army reservist Nathan Press wanted to support other veterans. new biz He and his wife, Michelle Press, accomplished that goal by opening a retail store, Launching Station, at Hamilton Town Center, 13901 Town Center Blvd., Suite 400.

“We were just talking about things we could do and came up with this concept of bringing in veteran-owned businesses all in one place, stuff normally found online or by local people,” Nathan Press said. “Just to allow people to come in and touch and feel and instead of buying online and taking that risk.”

Launching Station opened in September and sells items such as coffee, women’s purses, shirts, sweatshirts and barware, such as bottle openers and shot glasses.

“We are supporting veterans in several ways,” Press said. “We are supporting their business, but each company has pledged a certain amount of their profits to various charitable organizations in the community.”

The 40-year-old Noblesville resident spent 13 years active duty in the U.S. Army and has spent the last two years as a reservist. In 2003, he was deployed to Jordan.

Press wants to open two more Launching Station stores in the Indianapolis area in the next 18 months, provided his first store is successful. He and Michelle are searching for local veteran businesses to feature in the store. If interested, email nathanpress@hotmail.com.

Launching Station is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday. It is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“It’s good for a lot of high school students to see because it deals with a lot of issues that are prevalent in today’s society,” Michael said. “It’s eye-opening, but it’s presented in a fun way.”

Michael FHS’s production is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 15, 16 and 17 in the school’s auditorium.

Michael plays Skylar, who she describes as a stereotypical cheerleader.

“She really wants to be the captain and Campbell takes it from her, basically, so she’s angry about it,” Michael said. “Cheerleading is her life.”

Michael said Skylar in the script is portrayed as the stereotypical dumb blonde.

“I’ve been trying to dig deeper and find out what she struggles with in life and things like that,” Michael said.

Michael said the lines are the most she’s ever had to memorize for a role.

“Last school year I had a supporting lead role (in ’Seussical’) and it was about the same as far as the singing portion,” she said.

Michael said she is airborne in one stunt.

“I hope they don’t drop me,” said Michael, whose only cheerleading experience was in fourth grade.

Sophomore Emily Legg is cast as Campbell.

Legg “She’s a relatable character to me because she’s kind of awkward and feels like there is a lot of pressure on her,” Legg said. “I felt that way getting this part in the musical as well, so that’s something I’ve been playing into.”

Legg, who performed as a Bird Girl in “Seussical” as a freshman, said she has

CSO and CHS orchestra to perform

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com When Janna Hymes became music director for the Carmel Symphony Orchestra in September 2017, one of her Music goals was to partner with the Carmel High School orchestra as an educational outreach.

Little more than a year later, her objective has been accomplished.

On Nov. 18, the CSO will perform a sideby-side concert with the CHS orchestra at 4 p.m. in the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

The orchestras will perform three movements from Dvorak’s “New World Symphony. The piece, according to CSO education director Laura Payne, is a favorite of both orchestras.

“We will have two rehearsals together before the performance,” Payne said. “The high school musicians have been preparing the Dvorak symphony during the semester, and the CSO musicians have performed it many times.”

The concert will be the first time the orchestras have performed together.

“A collaboration between adult and stu-

dent musicians is always a win-win for both groups,” Payne said. “The adults can share their expertise with the students, and the students can share their enthusiasm for performing with adults.”

Carmel Symphony Orchestra will open with “The Inferno Dance” by Stravinsky, followed by Maya Kilburn, the 2018 Young Artist competition winner, performing the first movement of Tchaikovsky’s “Violin Concerto in D Major.” The CHS Strings will then perform “Jig” from Hoist’s “St. Paul Suite.” The concert will conclude with the orchestras joining for the Dvorak symphony.

SAVE THE DATE 3UP Rooftop Bar’s Impossible Sliders are vegan but have the taste and texture of a grilled burger. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

PROUDLY BRINGS YOU:

3UP Rooftop Bar Commentary by Anna Skinner

December 8, 4-6 p.m.

Free & Open to the Public Visit our Facebook page for updates @CarmelPorchfest Sponsored By

Address: 201 W. Main St., Carmel What to get: Impossible Sliders Price: $14 Anna’s take: 3UP Rooftop Bar is breathtaking because of its atmosphere and panoramic view of downtown Carmel. The food only adds to that. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. Outside heaters keep you warm even in winter.

3UP allowed me to try several items, including shaved brussels ($11), short rib slammers ($15), fried oyster po’boy ($24) and Impossible Sliders ($14). My personal favorite was the Impossible Sliders, two sandwiches topped with a kale and cilantro salad, a chili lime dressing and served on a pretzel bun. The meat is plant-based and completely vegan. I’ve had my share of vegan and vegetarian burgers, and they’ve never fully satisfied me because of the different texture. But these did. They are stacked high and are a wonderfully filling meal. If I wasn’t told the meat was vegan, I would have had no idea.

The shaved Brussels is a Brussels sprouts salad dish stacked with charred

Brussels leaves tossed with raisins, walnuts, candied bacon and a lemon poppyseed vinaigrette. The salad tastes like a mix of the seasons because it has wintery ingredients such as Brussels sprouts, but the candied bacon and lemon poppyseed vinaigrette reminded me of summer.

The short rib slammers are a housebraised short rib with smoked onions and queso blanco cheese sandwiched between a pretzel bun and served with a side of 3UP’s “hot chips.” The sliders are served with a house-made English sweet and spicy pickle. The fried oyster po’boy nearly beat out the Impossible Sliders as my favorite, because I am a sucker for anything oyster. 3UP takes the mess out of a po’boy by serving the dish open-faced on a bed of field greens. The oysters are dusted with a Delaware Bay seasoning and pan fried, then nestled against a peach chorizo chutney and a grilled piece of Cajun toast.

Although 3UP is on the second floor above the formal and elegant Anthony’s Chophouse, the vibe is different. 3UP encourages shared plates and is an inviting place for friends to enjoy cocktails before an evening out.

Suggested pairings: Pair both slammers with the Blueberry Botanical, a light, refreshing cocktail featuring gin, basil and lime juice. Pair the fried oyster po’boy with the Smoked Pineapple, a mezcal-centric drink which tastes slightly smoky due to the sweet and salty rim and the mezcal, which is sweeter, richer and smokier than tequila.

Behind bars: Blueberry Botanical Get it at 3UP Rooftop Bar, Carmel Ingredients: 1.5 oz. Bombay Sapphire, .75 oz. Blueberry simple syrup, .75 oz. lime juice, .75 oz. St. Elder, 2 basil leaves Directions: Muddle basil leaves and blueberry simple syrup in a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients, add ice, shake and double strain into an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a basil leaf.

All I can really judge is how the fans are reacting to it. This one just felt like the songwriting was really, really strong and it seems like everyone else is agreeing.”

James co-wrote all but one track, a rendition of Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael’s “Skylark.”

James said four to five songs will be part of the concert set.

by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann that has been called the “Mona Lisa of prehistory.”

Schliemann was the most famous archaeologist of the 19th century, known as much for his self-promotion, sometimes based on outright falsehoods, as for his archaeological discoveries.

Remedying foot odor — When sweat and cellular debris from bacteria and yeast begin to break down, you start to smell foot odor. Daily showering is an important step in fighting any type of body odor, but dry your feet carefully (between your toes, too) and use antibacterial and antifungal foot powders and sprays that help keep feet dry. If these products don’t do the job, you can also use an antiperspirant on your feet.
