Thanks to a grant from TechPoint Foundation, Amy Beverland Elemeneducation tary School in Lawrence has a robotics team for the second consecutive year. The grant funded startup materials and a kit to build a robot.

“We were given a grant from the TechPoint Foundation, which is really trying to promote robotics and STEM education in the state of Indiana,” information specialist Jamie Strebing said. “That was amazing to get it started. We also used some school funding to add a second team and a second robot and materials.”

Strebing said 54 students were interested in joining the team, but there was only room for 16. The Lawrence Township School Foundation will provide funds to have one robotics team at each of the 11 Lawrence Township elementary schools by spring.

“Our Lawrence Township School Foundation just came through with funding for each

elementary school,” Strebing said. “So, we are forming a Lawrence Township league to compete against each other.”

Students also will compete in tournaments outside of the Lawrence Township league.

The Amy Beverland team competed Dec. 8 of last year and has a competition in February at Heritage Christian School.

“We were going for the experience. We just finished the robot,” Strebing said about last month’s competition. “We wanted to have it be a learning experience, which it was.”

Strebing said the elementary robotics program is a feeder system for the upper grades in the district.

“We have really competitive robotics teams at the high school and middle school levels, so they really wanted to give all elementary schools this opportunity,” she said. “(Students) are coming in with more skills and we have a feeder system coming up through the district.”

Sale $23.99 COMMUNITY -$2 Instant Savings Home styling in 2019: Beazer Homes showcase w/Ace Rewardsfunctional Card design You Pay $21.99

NOW HIRING FULL-TIME CASHIERS

By Sara Baldwin Schatz sara@youarecurrent.com

Inside the model homes of construction company Beazer Homes, interiors the walls are decked with on-trend art and functional design elements. The company has built or is building communities in Zionsville, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers and Fortville, among other areas.

Raegan Potter, Beazer Homes senior marketing manager, said the builder puts a lot of weight on the decor of its model homes. Visitors to the model homes often ask questions about furniture, wall colors and design.

“They come in looking for decorating ideas,” Potter said.

To stylize its model homes, Beazer uses Denver-based Design Lines, a division of Trio.

Design Director Jodi Rutherford and other members of the Design Lines team travel to Indiana to decorate the model homes.

Design Lines conducts extensive market research on the area before designers select flooring, cabinetry, countertops and other items. The team envisions a family and writes a story about each person who lives there.

“We try to evoke emotion around buying a home,” Rutherford said. “We want (buyers) to be able to picture themselves living there.”

West Rail at the Station, a Beazer neighborhood in Westfield, contains seven different home designs, with prices ranging from $269,990 to $399,990. The Shelby Plan is a two-story, single family home featuring an open-concept kitchen, breakfast area, entertainment space and a versatile loft, among other features.

Rutherford visited Westfield Nov. 30 to finalize the design on the Shelby model home.

The bathroom design includes soap and beauty products. The loft was turned into a play area, complete with art supplies, a teepee, games and comfy chairs. The basement contains a full bar, game table and media room with a large sectional sofa.

“It’s very family oriented,” Rutherford said.

“It has a pingpong table made from a modern dining table with a net put on it.”

Good design should be eye-pleasing and functional, according to Rutherford. When designing a new home, she said a good place to start is finding a piece of art or a rug to inspire the overall feel.

“Start with something you love and create from that,” she said.

Although designing a home can be overwhelming, Rutherford suggests sticking with a timeless style, something that makes the homeowner feel comfortable.

“You can give each room its own individual look,” she said.

Rutherford’s top style predictions for 2019 include sustainable and natural products, matte black, curved furniture lines, metallics, gray flannel and deep colors, such as rich reds and jade greens.

Man creates, sells kayak carrier

By Renee Larr • news@geistcurrent.com Geist-area resident Ira Mercurio has always loved to kayak but new biz had trouble transporting his recreational craft.

Loading and unloading a kayak onto a car can be cumbersome. Mercurio recognized a need for kayakers to be able to easily transport their kayaks. That insprired him to create the EZ Rec-Rack kayak carrier.

“I started kayaking seven or eight years ago,” Mercurio said. “I started off with smaller kayaks, but eventually the heavier fishing kayaks became more popular, which are really tough to load onto cars. I made a trailer first. We were going to go on spring break after that, but the place we booked wouldn’t allow trailers.”

That inspired Mercurio to create a rack that sits atop a car. He started tinkering with it on Feb. 1, 2017, and by Feb. 15, 2017, he had a working prototype.

“I took it to Florida and it worked great,” he said. “It’s kind of snowballed since then, but really it was the need for me to have something to help me load my kayak.”

Encouraged by his wife, Mercurio built more EZ Rec-Racks to sell to other

kayakers.

“I filed for the patent mid-March of 2017, and then had a patent completed last August,” Mercurio said. “It was really quick.

The lawyer was really surprised that it happened that fast with no questions asked.”

Mercurio believes the reason the patent was granted so quickly is because there is nothing else on the market like the EZ RecRack, which sells for $679.

“It’s all aluminum and then it’s powder coated,” Mercurio said. “The reason for that is a lot of the guys that do these fishing kayaks are saltwater guys, and so anything that’s less than that would just get completely eaten up by the elements.”

what’s next?

The first steps for Arts for Lawrence is to conduct a planning phase, where the organization will hold community information sessions and then work with designers to ensure the project has a comprehensive design.

Byron said the sessions are expected to begin this month, but as of press time a specific date and time had not been announced. Phase 1, which includes renovations to Theater at the Fort, will follow the planning phase.

Arts for Lawrence will develop art throughout the project by creating an augmented reality app for the cultural plaza where a person can download an app on their phone, stand in a specific spot and then read history on what happened in that area of Lawrence.

Other art implementation includes art on bike racks and trash receptacles, a gallery for the Arts for Lawrence resident artist Gary Schmidt and other initiatives.

Eighteen of 256 organizations received funding for the Lilly Endowment Strengthening Indianapolis Through Arts and Cultural Innovation grant.

Arts for Lawrence will develop the land and parking lot to the north of its building to include an amphitheater, a relocated historic communication building and a possible projection onto the city’s water tower. (Submitted illustration)

‘Gotcha’ moments

Campbell cartoon rings true

Commentary by Terry Anker Perhaps it is our innate insecurity that drives it. Or, oddly enough, it could be an overblown sense of our own superiority that leads us perversely to hunger for it. Regardless of its genesis, whether an unrealistically low self-image or confidence maximus, we all seem to find the “gotcha” game to be irresistible.

Film, literature, history and our own personal heritages are abundant with stories of our desire for the set-up and anticipated satisfaction of the impending fall. We bait friends, family, spouses, co-workers and others, all the time believing that we know that we can catch them in a supposed prevarication, equivocation or mistake. Certain in our own interpretation of circumstance, we feel deputized by the cosmos to prevent “them from getting away with it.”

Then, as the target of our machinations comes to realize our clever and inescapable trap, we find a bit of joy in toying with them as they twist in the masterfully spun web.

We seem mindless of the long-term, if not irreversible, damage done to our relationships.

Folks lie. People make mistakes and banally cover them up. And humanity collectively, and each of us individually, is required by the social contract to hold other individuals, and ourselves, to a high standard of integrity. But is there another way? Do we have to set traps for those close to us like spies in the Cold War? Couldn’t we simply ask directly? Can we find a language to express our doubt in the veracity of other humans without hiring private detectives? If we have so little confidence in those around us, should we be spending our time seeking new acquaintances rather than orchestrating elaborate schemes?

Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may email him at terry@ youarecurrent.com.

Editor, Please tell Tim Campbell that his “The Kiddie Table” cartoon (published Nov. 20) was Hilarious, and oh so true! Every time I hear Trump’s name-calling (Pocahontas, Little Rocket Man, Crying Chuck, Crazy Bernie) I think, so childish. If he wants respect, he needs to show respect to others.

Keep up the good work

Have Caddy, will travel Commentary by Danielle Wilson People, get ready. I am preparing to leave for the ultimate road trip. My destination is St. Petersburg, Fla. My ride humor is a 2017, suped-up Caddy. And my companion? A 77-year-old retired judge, who I generally call “Dad.” That’s right, if everything goes as planned, by the time you are reading this, I will have survived New Year’s at the Valdosta Garden Inn. With my father.

This turn of events began when Mom announced that because of a recent back issue, she would not be making their annual snowbird trip by car. Dad would still drive, though, because rentals are obscenely expensive and they need transportation as they frolic on the beach for two months while we suffer Old Man Winter like the fools we are. But the idea of Dad making the 14-hour trek alone was disconcerting, to say the least. So, like any good parent, I volunteered my teenagers as tribute.

Despite substantial bribery and the promise of a short vacay, I received hard passes all around. My four sisters, Doo and the local brother-in-law also bailed, claiming work and other stupid obligations. That left me, the teacher on holiday break. Though I had anticipated luxuriating in a full week of lazy mornings, puzzles and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” daughter guilt won out. So, I orchestrated some logistical witchcraft, thought briefly of getting a spray tan and then packed a bag. Let’s do this!

Actually, I am excited. What better way to make memories than a road trip with your father? Over New Year’s! And of course, I intend to recount every glorious detail for you in my next column. Get ready!

Peace out.

Where, oh where, is the cereal aisle?

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Treating Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Join Dr. Ernest Orinion, a board-certified gastroenterologist, as he discusses gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Dr. Orinion will describe the causes of GERD and the treatment options available for the condition. A light dinner will be served.

Sometime just before the afternoon of Dec. 24, 2018, diabolical human beings rearranged almost everything in my Kroger. humor The salad bar was gone (too much waste, they said), roasted chickens were no longer in their tantalizing display. The meat department was in the same place, but the king crab legs were where the flank steak used to be. The organic yogurt section was eliminated and combined with the regular yogurt. They’d never try that at Whole Foods.

I wandered aimlessly with the shopping list Mary Ellen had given me. I stopped at the wine and beer department. I asked why they had changed everything.

“Don’t ask me,” she said. “I’m just the wine lady.”

“I know,” I said. “I am whining to you. I can’t find anything. Do you know where the cereal has been relocated?”

“Oh, cereal is now next to the breakfast bars.”

“That doesn’t help,” I explained.

There was a lot of conversation among customers — shoppers sharing moving stories of pickles they can no longer locate, kitty litter that has vanished. It was Jenny’s story that really tugged at my heartstrings.

“It was 10 years ago when Joe and I first walked down the aisle together — aisle 7, to be exact,” she said. “We had so many fond memories of granola, Frosted Flakes and Raisin Bran. Now, those memories have been lost forever. Instead, it’s Heinz Ketchup and Hellmann’s Light Mayonnaise.”

At the checkout counter, I saw Vickie, who has the hardest job. She comes running when the self-scanner says: HELP IS ON THE WAY. I told her that despite that day’s confusing experience, I found everything on my shopping list. Which is a lot better than shopping at Marsh … where you can’t find a single thing.

Fishers filmmakers to screen documentary

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com When director Rocky Walls set out to make the documentary “Finding Hygge,” his first hurdle was documentary to define the term “hygge.”

Seems the Danish word connoting happiness means something different to everybody.

“One of the fun challenges for this film is that hygge doesn’t have a very good English translation, and it means different things to different people,” said Walls, cofounder of Fishers-based 12 Stars Media.

“It’s not a specific thing you can do or buy or manufacture.”

A Fishers resident, Walls and 12 Star Media co-founder Zach Downs, also of Fishers, made the 90-minute documentary to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their video production company. They chose the topic of hygge (pronounced hoo-guh) after visiting Copenhagen, Denmark, three years ago.

Walls and Downs, who are co-executive producers, announced the project in April 2017. The film made its world premiere in March 2018 at the Sonoma International Film Festival in Sonoma, Calif. It was played at festivals throughout 2018 and was released on Vimeo On Demand in the U.S. and Canada in November 2018.

Locally, “Finding Hygge” will be shown Jan. 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Hamilton East Public Library, 5 Municipal Dr., Fishers.

The filmmakers will discuss the project following the screening. Light refreshments will be served and guests can enter a drawing for a hygge basket — which again begs the question: What is hygge?

Broadly defined, hygge is a state of happiness, comfort, coziness, joy, contentment in the moment. Narrowly defined, there is no English language parallel. But generally defined, it’s finding happiness in whatever makes you happy – typically in simple pleasures, such as spending time with friends, food, quiet time, etc.

“It’s a mentality shift,” Walls said. “It’s a paradox, though, because while it takes effort to get into the right mindset, at the same time it requires no effort at all. Most

people have it, and once we know what to look for, we see it in ourselves. The problem is that we cover it up and cloud it with other things that don’t matter and don’t make us happy.”

Walls and Downs discovered the concept of hygge, which has spawned international interest in recent years, upon their visit

to Denmark. They decided exploring the topic in film would be the ideal way to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 12 Stars Media, a full-service video production company that provides strategy, preproduction, production, editing, 2-D and 3-D animation and color-grading services to corporations and nonprofits.

“We noticed major cultural differences between Denmark and the United States,” Walls said. “The pace of life appeared much slower and more relaxed. How Danes spent their time together was a marked difference from Americans.”

“Finding Hygge,” shot on a $250,000 production budget, was filmed in Denmark, England, Canada and the U.S. It will be available on DVD and Blu-ray early this year. The Jan. 26 library event is free and open to the public. Registration isn’t required.

“It’s no coincidence that hygge has exploded in popularity amidst growing division and distrust in the world,” Walls said.

“People are looking for ways to be happier, but the Danish word and its definition are more complicated than it seems. For those who seek happiness, we hope our exploratory documentary helps each individual viewer discover their own true meaning of hygge and how to find it for themselves.”

Urban Vines Winery and Brewery

The Wild Garden pizza at Urban Vines Winery and Brewery includes red sauce, mozzarella, red pepper, red onion and spinach. (Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 303 E. 161st St., Westfield What to get: The Wild Garden pizza Price: $13 Anna’s take: Urban Vines serves its artisan pizzas from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. The pies are 12 inches, hand-formed and fire-grilled. The menu suggests the pizzas feed one to two people, but in my opinion, I think Urban Vines is a great place to visit with a few friends and order several menu items to share and nibble. There are five varieties of pizza. I tried The Wild Garden, which includes red sauce, mozzarella, red pepper, red onion and spinach.

Besides pizza, charcuterie boards with

offerings of meat, cheese, bread, olives, mustard or local honeycomb also are available. My suggestion? Order a bit of everything and cozy up in one of the winery’s new, rentable igloos.

Suggested pairings: Urban Vines offers a variety of beer, so there’s something for wine lovers and for those who love a good brew. Urban Vines’ wine varies from sweet white to dry red, and my favorite beverage to order is one of its ciders. I’ll pair the peach cider with just about any charcuterie board or pizza slice and just make it work.

Since everyone’s beverage palette is different, I suggest visiting Urban Vines Winery and Brewery’s website because it lists each variety of wine and beer. For more, visit urban-vines.com.

Behind bars: Chop Old Fashioned Get it at Anthony’s Chophouse, Carmel Ingredients: 2.5 oz. Rittenhouse Rye, 2 sugar cubes, 2 dashes angostura bitters, 2 dashes black walnut bitters, 3 splashes of soda water, orange swath Directions: Combine and muddle sugar cubes, bitters and soda in a Yari glass. Add bourbon and ice. Stir and double strain over one large ice cube in an old-fashioned glass.

Garnish with an orange swath.

Imagine doctors who listen to you and your body.

Community has a knack for finding primary care physicians who believe patients know their bodies best. And it’s the doctor’s job to help interpret. Together then, every concern, question and doubt are understood and addressed. If that’s what you’re looking for, we hear you. That’s exceptional care, simply delivered. All from a health network that had the beautiful idea to bring them both together.
