Around Town Exhibit to showcase Valentine’s Day inspired art COMMUNITY

By Nancy Edwards news@currentinfishers.com

Looking to impress your Valentine’s date with a fun alternative to the typical dinner-and-a-movie? Check out the art exhibit titled Love, Lust & Poetry.

The free artwork-and poetry-themed event is “supposed to be fun and quirky and push the envelope a little bit in Hamilton County but not have anything too racy,” Ailither McGill, director of Nickel Plate Arts, said.

The exhibit will debut during an open house at the art gallery’s new location at 107 S. 8th St. in Noblesville on Feb. 14, from 5 to 8 p.m. In addition to visual art, the event features poetry readings from Noblesville High School students and local residents from Polk Street Review, an annual literary review of Noblesville writers (www.polkstreetview.org).

Those without a date may be interested in the anti-Valentine’s Day event on Feb. 15, also from 5 to 8 p.m. The difference, besides a $5 fee, is that the “content of poetry will be snarkier and tongue-in-cheek and focused on how different people’s experiences have been,” McGill added.

Nickel Plate Arts is seeking artists to display their romantic, if not lustful, inspiration for the event. Those interested in submitting work should also include the title, price and a short explanation of

how their submission fits the theme of the exhibit. Artists may submit their work to info@nickelplatearts.org. The deadline for submission is 4 p.m. on Feb. 1.

Artists must be at or over the age of 15 and an Indiana resident or student. Preference will be given to those who live or work in Hamilton County.

Artists will be contacted by 5 p.m. on Feb. 5 if their piece(s) have been accepted

into the show. Accepted artwork should be dropped off on Feb. 7 or 8 from noon to 5 p.m.

The exhibit will be open to the public on subsequent Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through March 30. For more questions or information, contact McGill at amcgill@nickelplatearts.org.

Et Cetera

Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation starting early with two events Commentary by Larry Lannan

Volunteers are at the cornerstone of work done at the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation, and as president of the board, Joe Eaton is the head volunteer. Joe has spent six years on the foundation board and is part of a 25-member board, all volunteers.

There is also the part-time Executive Director Lisa Allen. Lisa has been with the foundation from the beginning.

Joe Eaton is proud of the many programs the foundation funds for the local school system.

The 10-4-10 program was put in place to observe the tenth anniversary of the foundation, to emphasize the power of just $10 contributed to the foundation.

If you ask Joe about any of the programs supported by the foundation, he’ll talk about Dollars for Scholars, Thank-an-Educator and Fitnessgram. All are conceived and funded by the foundation and its volunteer board.

With all the opportunities for community involvement in Fishers, Joe chose the school foundation because “the schools here are phenomenal.” He says the foundation touches “all aspects of the school corporation.”

There are two events coming up soon where you can help the foundation.

First, a Meet and Greet is set for a discussion with Supt. Smith to talk about the new technology initiative, HSE 21, which has a goal of 1-to-1 technology for staff and students in the school system by providing each a tablet computer. This will happen at the Hearthstone Coffee House & Pub, Wednesday from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. The coffee, continental breakfast and conversation are all free.

The second event will be the Game Day 2013 fund raiser at the FORUM Conference Center, March 21, at 6 p.m. This ties in with the opening round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

The HSE Schools Foundation relies on its many corporate sponsors and local individual donors. However, it relies mostly on its volunteer board members and others in the community willing to donate time and effort to its many fund-raising and other projects.

If you’re thinking about becoming a volunteer and haven’t chosen to take the plunge yet, Joe asks you to remember, “Fishers is a fabulous place to live for a lot of reasons, but one of the primary reasons is the quality of our schools. It’s important that we have community volunteers continue to contribute to the expansion and enhancement of our kids’ education.”

The Commute

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com With winter winds hitting Fishers, construction is slowing down.

“On our capital projects, there are no traffic pattern changes or switches in the next couple of weeks,” Jeff Hill, Town of Fishers director of engineering, said.

Project: AT&T utility work at St. George Orthodox Church frontage Status: Hill said the only possible looming project in the coming weeks was taking place on 116th Street at the St. George Orthodox Church construction site east of I-69.

“The utility contractor states that they can perform this work all from behind the curb, but it is possible that they would have to take a lane during the daytime hours between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to perform some work, but this is not for certain yet,” he said.

Project: INDOT work on I-69 and two-lane flyover Status: Nathan Riggs, media relations director at INDOT Greenfield district, said much of the work timeline on I-69 and the new flyover for Ind. 37 was tentative. There hasn’t been much progress recently as snow and temperatures haven’t been on construction’s side.

Riggs said the next step for INDOT was to

pour the bridge deck, the concrete and reinforcing steel that sits atop steel girders and the beams holding it up, for the flyover, but to get that done construction crews need multiple days, even a week, of air temperatures in the 40’s with lows in the upper 20’s.

There are many conditions to factor in, including weather, and the earliest the new bridge would open is mid-February – a “best case scenario,” he said.

Riggs said the overall goal was to get all northbound work done by the end of March, but like other aspects of construction, inclement weather could pose a problem.

Once the northbound work is done, INDOT will start working on the southbound side.

INDOT is also looking to award the Mainline contract, which is for an added travel lane on the median side of southbound I-69 between exit 205 and I-465, as well as auxiliary lanes for the 82nd, 96th and 116th Street interchanges, by the end of the month, according to Riggs.

Professional soccer team coming to Indy

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com Ersal Ozdemir, president and CEO of Keystone Construction Corp., a member of Current Publishing’s board of directors and a Carmel resident, announced at a press conference last week that he planned to bring a professional soccer team to Indianapolis.

“I believe the world is getting Ozdemir global,” Ozdemir said. “In the United States, soccer has evolved significantly over the last 15 years. I have seen the improvements in my short lifetime, and at some point as it continues to grow, we feel that the sport is going to even catch on in a bigger way at both a spectator and a professional level. We are trying to be a part of that growth.”

The currently unnamed team will be formed as a member of the North American Soccer League, a Division II Professional League including 12 teams across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The team is slated to play its first season in 2014.

Ozdemir has hired Peter Wilt, former president and general manager of the Chicago Fire, to lead the team-building initiative.

The team is slated to play its first two seasons at IUPUI’s Carroll Track and Soccer Stadium in downtown Indianapolis with plans for a standalone, permanent stadium coming sometime

in the future. The venue was consistently voted as the best location for the team by local fans of the initiative. A number of renovations are planned for the stadium in hopes of creating a more intimate and soccerspecific atmosphere.

Ozdemir emphasized the importance of Hamilton County facilities and residents as part of the team’s success during the next several years.

Wilt Wilt said the team was brainstorming ideas to make use of Westfield’s Grand Park sports campus as well as ways to embrace youth soccer teams and families throughout all of Central Indiana. Grand Park, which Ozdemir referred to as “a Mecca,” could play host to several of the team’s exhibition games and training sessions after its completion in 2014.

“Carmel and other Hamilton County communities are the core strength of soccer in the state.

If you are going to put a target in the Midwest, Carmel and Hamilton County is ground zero for youth soccer support,” Wilt said.

Both Ozdemir and Wilt expressed an interest in creating a grassroots campaign around the team. Part of the campaign will be allowing fans to vote on a team name, logo and colors sometime during the next two months. For more information regarding the plan and the team, visit www.indyprosoccer.com.

Group makes British feel right at home

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com Individuals and families imported from England have discovered a real home away from home, thanks to a group that has introduced the fellow Brits to one another.

The Fishers British Meet and Greet was started by Alison Smith, who made some great British friends while she was living in Atlanta. After moving to Fishers, Smith decided she wanted to make some new friends from England and went online to www.meetup.com to start the group.

Now, with more than 100 members and growing, the group consists of a variety of individuals: From those who lived in England or those who married someone British, to Americans who traveled abroad and want to learn more about the British culture. The club also has people from Brazil, Wales, Ireland and South America.

“Those of us who have become firm friends meet at least once a week for tea, lunch, dinner, babysitting or just catch up,” Smith said. “It is a home away from home where we can be ourselves and be with like-minded friends.”

The group also incorporates festivities from England, including Boxing Day and Guy Fawkes Night. As well, members trade tips on where to find the best fish and chips, beer and pubs to watch a game of soccer. Plus, they feel free to share their sarcasm used commonly in their native country.

“We get together and complain about the weather and use our sense of humor,” Dave Lewis, who joined the group in 2005, said.

Lewis lived in Birmingham, England, before moving to the U.S. “We’ve got a good network of friends here with kids around the same ages.”

Ali Shales, originally from Peterborough, England, said she and her husband had made good friends with about four other families they met from the group.

“Fishers is home now,” she said.

Cover Story

Kevin Clasen to lead political action committee speaking on senior academies referendum

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com In two years, the Hamilton Southeastern School District will need to make room for 1,500 additional high school students.

To secure the space, administrators have been working with designers, architects and the community on new senior academies for Fishers High School and Hamilton Southeastern High School. The project will cost $95 million, and funding will be voted on by area taxpayers on May 7.

Between now and then, a political action committee dusted off from a previous referendum called Maintaining Excellence will aim to educate Fishers on its options.

And that’s where Kevin Clasen comes in.

Clasen, a Fishers resident for 20 years and a HSE Schools Foundation board member, is stepping in to serve as the PAC’s chairman, or coordinator.

“The role of the PAC is not necessarily to promote the administration’s agenda,” Clasen said. “It’s to promote what’s best for the community.”

Clasen was asked by Supt. Dr. Brian Smith, CFO Mike Reuter and Freedom Kolb, Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation chair of grants and scholarships, to take the reins.

By day, Clasen is a financial advisor for WestPoint Financial Group on the north side of Indy.

He said he believed the school system was the best thing the Town of Fishers had going for it.

“Maintaining our level of excellence is really, really important to me,” he said.

It’s still very early in the game for Clasen and his team, with the first public request for committee volunteers not scheduled to take place until 7:30 a.m. Jan. 30 at the Fall Creek Township

Meet Kevin Clasen

Family: Wife, Shelly, daughters, Haley and Cassidy Alma Mater: Indiana Wesleyan University Favorite hobbies: Golfing and target shooting Favorite team: University of Kansas Jayhawks Trustee’s office, 11595 Brooks School Rd. “That’s where we’re kind of going to communicate and find out who’s going to participate at what level,” Clasen said. “When I say ‘we’ right now, it’s me.”

Clasen said by publication date of this article it was likely the

$95 million

PAC’s treasurer would be chosen. He declined to comment on who may be on his list of possible candidates.

As of last Monday, school administrators Smith and Reuter were limited to operating in only a factual capacity – meaning they could not, by law, promote voting yes on the referendum question. Those working in the school system, outside of Smith and Reuter, are supposed to use their own time to promote the referendum.

Clasen said Maintaining Excellence did not have a fundraising goal, but it would take any contribution.

Getting people that are supportive of the new senior academies out to vote on May 7 is the challenge, Clasen said.

According to Smith and Reuter, the only item on the ballot will be the referendum. Unlike the recent town versus city referenda items, there will be no major election to drive numbers at the polls.

At the same time, Noblesville Schools will also be holding a referendum, so some costs could be shared, according to Smith.

Reuter said one of the last school referendums cost about $38,000.

Reuter did not have an exact dollar amount available, but said this referendum should be less expensive.

Smith said he recently spoke with a senior academy naysayer for an hour explaining the ins and outs, changing that persons outlook.

“Our challenge is how do we do that with a broad group of people,” Smith said. “It’ll be part of Maintaining Excellence’s goals, while it will be supportive of the academies.”

“If we don’t add on, we’ve got a problem of class sizes and things like that in my opinion from what I’ve read and what I’ve studied and how involved I’ve been,” Clasen said.

For more information on the senior academies visit www.currentinfishers.com for previous coverage, including articles “Early concepts for senior academies presented” and “Senior academies, HSE 21 major projects for school district.”

It is our position that the flu epidemic should be taken seriously. This influenza season, 21 Hoosiers have died from flurelated illnesses. A flu shot is recommended for everyone six months old and above, in particular children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems should be vaccinated. If you are diagnosed with flu, stay home for the exception of seeking medical treatment. Germs are easily spread in the workplace, church, school, grocery stores, shopping malls and other public places.

It is also particularly important to practice good hand hygiene to assist in preventing the spread of germs. According to the Centers for Disease Control, hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice while washing your hands if you need a timer. Cough and sneeze into a tissue and then throw the tissue away. Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.

While not scientifically proven as a cure for the flu, a home remedy in the form of Matzo ball soup from your favorite delicatessen is guaranteed to at least warm the soul if you are battling the sniffles. For more information on seasonal influenza, visit www.cdc.com/flu.

Dark and stormy Commentary by Terry Anker “It was a dark and stormy night.” No wait. “It was a very dark and very stormy night.” Charles Shultz’s beloved character, the beagle named Snoopy, would begin banging out on his vintage typewriter as he sat atop his doghouse and imagined himself to be the great American novelist.

The canine boasted a highly developed sense of imagination routinely assuming the mantle of a World War I flying ace or erudite academic attempting to bring along his hapless, if loyal, friend the yellow bird, Woodstock.

Certainly he showed great devotion to his owner, Charlie Brown, and spirit of joy whenever it was supper time, oh supper time, but Snoopy always impressed me in his willingness to jump into everything he did with both feet. It didn’t work out every time. In fact, it often didn’t proceed as planned, but he found the courage and optimism to charge ahead boldly, seemingly unaffected by the concerns of Woodstock or the admonishments of his nemesis Lucy Van Pelt.

If every fantastic journey begins with a step and every great book begins with a single sentence, then why is it that we so resist making an initial move? Does fear of dashing our own self-created expectations prevent us from ever trying in the first place? Or can we legitimately point to those around us for creating an environment wherein we fear error so much that no action is pursued? Snoopy may have never managed to produce the great American novel but his willingness to try (and fail) helped make him an icon.

There is little room today for error. We fear costly mistakes and routinely sacrifice our personal freedoms grasping at an elusive world without risk. Can a responsible person push the boundaries of self-definition? Maybe we should ask, how can we not?

With Mike Pence’s inauguration as the 50th governor of Indiana only just concluded, the Columbus Republican launched headlong into signing a series of executive orders. While seeking to replace outgoing Gov. Mitch Daniels, Pence campaigned strongly on a platform favoring job creation and economic growth, which we heartily endorsed. And so with the ink on his new business cards barely dry, what did he do to further that effort? He put forth a budget that aims to achieve on his promises while reducing taxes. We like that. The budget keeps spending a full percentage point below inflation, and we like that, too, although we’d prefer deeper cuts – but this is a work in progress. In addition, the budget maintains adequate reserves to protect us against further economic downturn.

His budget aims to invest $18 million, though, across two years for adult workforce improvement, and reduce personal income tax by 10 percent. His office stated: “This will put $500 million directly back into the Hoosier economy and permanently reduce the tax burden on most small and mid-sized businesses and family farms. The move will let Hoosiers keep more of their hard-earned dollars to save, spend or invest as they see fit,” which is exactly as it should be.

We consider his effort at fiscal management a laudable start, but it’s only a start. We’d like to see his subsequent efforts be even more aggressive on reducing spending; it’s an initiative that’s never too late to initiate.

Parenting as celestial payback Commentary by Danielle Wilson You know what I find annoying? The way people without children criticize parents. As if they even have a clue about what they are saying!

But you know what I find hilarious? The way those same people always end up being the craziest parents around.

Take one of my good friends. She’d frequently make snide comments about my parenting: “You spoil your kids;” “You need to relax more;” “You shouldn’t be freaking out over daycare.” Most of the time it was all in good fun, but occasionally she’d touch a nerve. And let’s be honest, no mother wants to be told (even if it’s true) that she’s not doing a good enough job. Until you’ve been in the trenches yourself, keep your mouth shut!

Well, folks, my friend had her first baby a few months ago, and after having spent a few days with her new little family, I am thrilled to report that she did not escape celestial payback for her pre-pregnancy words. She has become the classic first-time mom, complete with anal-retentiveness out the wazoo, hypochondriacal tendencies that result in absolutely no one being able to touch her daughter without CDC biohazard clearance, and a child who has no self-soothing abilities whatsoever because she is never allowed to cry. Love it!

Seriously, I can’t tell you how much pleasure I take in watching her do the exact same things

she used to criticize me for, and consequently, suffer a tiny bit because of it. She and her husband still can’t figure out how their DINK lifestyle slipped out the back door without so much as a good bye. Ooh, I know! They spend an inordinate amount of time in the bottle preparation department (short of an actual autoclave, I’m not sure they could get those things any more sterile), hold the baby 24-7, and rely too heavily on the Internet and lunatic bloggers for their decision-making. Basically, she does the same idiotic, controlling things Doo and I did when we had our first.

I love my friend, and she is truly a fantastic mom. But thank you, Karma/Fate/Mother Nature/Whoever for making my year! She finally understands how difficult parenting is, and how important receiving love and support from everyone, even those without children, is to surviving the adventure that is motherhood.

So to those of you not yet calling yourselves a mommy or daddy, be careful what you say.

What goes around comes around, and this time, it’ll involve diaper rash and lactation consultants. Peace out.

More perspective from the sporting world Commentary by Dan Domsic With basketball season in full tilt, I scrounged up a little free time to watch “Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks,” an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary.

Being from the corner of the state where you root for the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Bulls, all I ever knew was the sensational postseasons starring Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoč, Dennis Rodman and Luc Longley.

So during Jordan’s hiatus, the Indiana Pacers never really resonated with me. I also was very young, not really able to pay attention until the three post-season runs after Jordan’s return.

Watching the old playoff games against the New York Knicks and getting an inside look at Miller’s attitude before, after and during the games was insightful – now I know why all my friends from outside the Region always talk about the guy and the feats he pulled off.

One other aspect of the story struck me: how people from Indiana and New York were perceived.

Knicks versus hicks. Please.

Athletic competition inherently pushes people to put others into categories, as that’s the essence of conflict, but how people choose to do so is endless entertainment.

My high school’s football team was famous

www.currentinfishers.com

for three things: the wishbone offense, Coach Rus Radtke and its rough-and-tumble style of play. When we played a local Catholic high school, a headline in the local sports section read “Catholics vs. Convicts.”

The author of that headline probably loved it because of the alliteration, though I guess that’s not true alliteration (trade secret: journalists love alliteration). It also casted the fans, players and followers into their own distinct groups.

I had the disdain of being called a convict, much like any Pacers fan, and really any Hoosier, had when called a bunch of hicks.

Now, I might have a soft-spot in my heart for certain NASCAR drivers, but I still don’t think that’s a fair assessment. When it comes down to it, it’s all stereotyping.

It’s easy to do in the world of sports. It’s even easier to do in real life, as it requires less thought and measure than actually taking the time to learn about the people you’re talking about.

Humor

I should have waited Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Now that the holidays are over, all the really good bargains are starting to appear on TV, especially on the cable networks. I’m a little skeptical of some of the products, but you’d have to be crazy not to buy the NordicTrack Silver Dollar Pancake Pan, which not only makes perfect flapjacks every time, but can also be used as a spare fly wheel for your exercise bike.

Here’s an item that seems too good to be true: an ear wax vacuum for only $9.95, plus the second one is free (we do have two ears): just pay shipping and handling. You have not heard about this? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR HEARING? If so, you definitely need one. At first, I wasn’t going to buy it, but then I saw a guy on the commercial trying to use a Q-tip in his ear and suddenly he started screaming in pain. It scared the heck out of me. I was also very impressed that the device had 16 tips with different colors for each family member. Of course, if you have a household with that many children, someone in the marriage is having a hard time hearing, “Enough, already.” Mary Ellen was annoyed that I fell for their sales pitch. She said vacuuming my ears should not be a priority when I haven’t run the Hoover under my

computer desk in four years.

The Stretch Genie also looks like a great idea. For just $7.95 you get a spray that expands leather and some synthetic fibers. You put it in your shoe and it goes from a C to a D. I think someone was spraying this stuff on my report card back in grade school.

Over the years I have been very complacent about the lint in my appliances, so when I saw the Lint Lizard for sale, I was intrigued.

This device easily attaches to your vacuum and then sucks the debris out of your clothes dryer vent. I rushed to order it and when I opened the package you can imagine my disappointment when it was exactly the same product as the Ear Vac. My big mistake was ordering so quickly, because when I checked the Internet the next day, I saw this testimonial: “The tubing is too stiff. It does not fit into the lint filter.

The tubes fell apart. I never got out a single clump of lint. I will happily give my Lint Lizard to anyone who wants it.” Rats! I could have gotten a free one.

And the Copper Cob goes to ... who cares?

Commentary by Mike Redmond It is Awards Season again – or as I like to think of it, that special time of year when Mike once again finds out he is WAY out of touch.

The World Wide Interweb Thingie is alive with chatter about who is going to win which statuette at what show – Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Golden Globes, Grammy, Granny, Silver Sow, Copper Cob, Dean Martin Roast or Hee-Haw Salute. It’s a long list. I might have missed a couple.

During these months when celebritroids start handing awards to one another, I find myself completely baffled by the reactions. Not theirs. I mean regular people’s.

Folks who have absolutely nothing to do with entertainment (other than as consumers) get all worked up about these prizes and I really don’t know why. It’s not like fans get statuettes if they back the winner. (Although if that were the case, I think I’d want an Oscar. It’s just the right shape and size to crack black walnuts.)

But oh, the drama. And I’m not talking about on the screen. I mean online: “If Django Unchained doesn’t get best picture, there is no justice.”

“The Master was robbed! Robbed!”

Wow. The way people carry on about these things on the message boards and such, you’d think it was politics. Or sports. Or something that mattered.

Here’s the response I used when I was a music critic and was forever having to hear from people who disagreed with my assessments of their favorite artists by citing album sales figures and awards won: Whoop-ti-do.

There’s no real way to judge artistic merit other than personal opinion. Nobody has invented a Merit-O-Meter that can impartially gauge the worth of a film, play, television show or album.

It all rests with the individual, as it should – what has great merit for you might have very little for me, and usually does. And as far as sales are concerned, that usually is the result of marketing more than the product itself.

What you’re left with, then, is a popularity contest, not all that far removed from a student council election.

And so, my friends, as we head into Awards Season, I have decided that my choice for best movie is Lincoln: First, because I loved it and second, because of all the movies that are up for awards, it’s the only one I could be persuaded to see. I hope it wins a whole bunch of nutcrackers. And a Copper Cob. Mike Redmond is an author, journalist, humorist and speaker. Write him at mike@ mikeredmondonline.com or P.O.

Andy Newell

Casey Harshbarger

By Mark Johnson • mark@youarecurrent.com Drummer Ben Williams remembers clearly a life-changing moment.

“I was 16 years old, and a friend of mine came by my house,” he said.

“He had his car window down and he was playing ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ by Cream. And I just remember hearing that song and thinking that I had never heard a song with a drum so deep and such a cool riff. It really opened my ears, opened my mind, opened my eyes. I went out and bought a Cream album that day!”

In the two decades since that musical revelation, Williams, a Noblesville resident, has never lost focus on music, never ceased to build on that musical legacy, nor closed his eyes, ears, or mind to the possibilities of new frontiers in music.

“After I started listening to Cream, I wanted to find out all I could about [Cream guitarist] Eric Clapton,” he said. “Through Clapton, I got into Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. I got books on all those artists. I wanted to know everything there was to know about them. That was when I came across Robert Johnson.”

Johnson, the legendary and enigmatic bluesman, of the 1920s and ‘30s, continues to influence Williams to this day. As members of the blues/rock power trio, the Warrior Kings, Williams, guitarist Casey Harshbarger, and bassist Andy Newell wove that influence into their self-titled, debut disc. The track, “Robert Johnson’s Revolver,” is a direct homage to the iconic blues figure.

“That song is really about a traveling bluesman and all of the dangers he would face on the road. A lot of them would carry revolvers www.currentinfishers.com

Warrior Kings on a mission of music for protection, to keep them from getting stiffed, or getting robbed,” Williams said.

Moreover, that song is part of a larger metaphor for the struggles and challenges that people face in contemporary times.

“The lyrical themes deal with the life of an everyman,” Williams further explained. “Topics of love, lust, war, carnage and the need to understand the hard questions, and even the hard answers this world gives us.”

Yet, the beginning of the Warrior Kings is not a story of challenges or adversity, but rather a coming together of like-minded individuals.

Williams and Harshbarger were introduced when both were playing at Northview Church in Carmel.

“I just pulled out my guitar and played a song for him, and he really liked it. We just knew right away that we wanted to form a band together,” Williams said. “We’re the same age, we have the same taste in music, we’re both fathers with two children. We have a great working relationship. And Andy is the icing on the cake. He’s a real prodigy. For such a young guy, he is really in demand! He stays busy!”

Benjamin Williams All three shared one key element: the desire to push musical boundaries with blistering blues, rock and jazz blending seamlessly into loose jams and tight playing.

“The album to me is a new twist on the fusion of the blues, rock and the psychedelic,” Williams said of the disc. “We wanted to avoid cliché and predictability … That’s why we dig playing live. We are always looking to outdo each other. When we jam, we turn a four minute song into a seven or eight minute song. It’s not monotonous. One of our goals is to do a live album.”

Harshbarger and Williams both give music lessons and want to pass on that knowledge of and hunger for music, just like the older guys passed it on to them.

“We are on a mission to please the listener’s ear. We want to continue the blues/rock, and we believe our music has the power to do it,” Williams said. “My hope is the formula changes that people aren’t afraid to challenge their minds, branching out into new music. Going out listening to bands perform new music and perfect their craft, there’s nothing like it.”

End of Watch • R, 109 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd File “End of Watch” under the list of best movies of 2012 that you probably haven’t seen … or maybe even heard of.

This terrific, gritty and surprisingly funny portrait of a pair of Los Angeles Police Dept. officers patrolling South-Central Los Angeles is one of the best cop dramas in recent memory.

Michael Peña and Jake Gyllenhaal play Mike and Brian, a pair of young cowboys who, as one boasts “get into more capers in a single deployment shift than most cops do in their entire career.”

Writer/director David Ayer fills his movie with lots of harrowing scenes of fistfights, gunplay and other brutality. Yet it’s the humanity of the relationship between these two guys that

breathes life into the film. They crack jokes on each other, make fun of their ethnic heritage and exchange advice about the women in their lives.

But when the gangbangers bring the heat, they instantly shift into soldier mode, becoming one mind with two guns. Ayer often films from a first-person perspective down the barrel of a pistol, putting the audience right in the thick of it.

Don’t miss this one.

Riverview Hospital’s new cardiovascular equipment is saving lives

By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com

Doctors, nurses and children cut the ribbon opening Community Hospital North’s new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit last Tuesday. (Photo submitted)

Community Hospital North opens new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit news@currentinwestfield.com Community Hospital North officially opened its new Pediatric Intensive Care Unit last Tuesday. The expansion increases access to critical care services for Central Indiana children.

An extension of Community North’s 20room children’s unit, the PICU is a state-ofthe-art critical care unit that provides advanced, life-saving treatments and technologies that help provide care for infants, children and adolescents who become severely ill or injured. It is the only location on the Indianapolis northeast side offering critical care for children.

The PICU team is led by Vin Gupta, M.D., who is board certified in both pediatrics and pediatric critical care medicine through the American Board of Pediatrics. According to Gupta, the new unit will allow physicians to treat children with acute illnesses, serious infec-

tions, drug overdoses, severe seizures, diabetic complications, or those involved in an accident or a near-drowning incident.

“Utilizing equipment designed to meet the size-specific needs of the pediatric patient, our physicians are dedicated to the care of our hospitalized children,” he said.

Community North’s President Barbara Summers said the growing amount of pediatric services the hospital offered represented its mission to serve the northern Indianapolis region.

“It is important that we provide opportunities for patients and families to stay in the community,” Summers said. “Families facing the stress of having a critically ill child will no longer have the added burden of long, expensive commutes.

This is one more way we can help keep our sickest children close to home while receiving the best care available in our region.”

“Our mission includes recognizing opportunities to support the performing arts in our community.”

A chance opportunity helped save the life of Hamilton County’s Greg O’Connor. The Noblesville resident also serves as the Riverview Hospital Foundation Board Chairman, which is why he decided to have a heart scan done with the hospital’s new 128-slice CT scanner even though he felt fine.

“Since I was on the foundation board, I thought I should know about this if we are trying to promote it,” he said. “They place three electrodes on your chest, run you in and out of the magnet three times and your images appear on the screen. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes.”

While he was in the waiting area for his results, O’Connor learned his calcium level numbers were “not quite where they should be.”

“For a lot of people it’s 0 to 50 or 100, mine were north of 500. It was like warning signs and lights were going off,” he said.

After having two stress tests done and another scan of his heart with radioactive dye, it was determined that O’Connor did not have any blockages in his arteries, but his high score meant there was potential for damage.

O’Connor said that following his tests and results, he made a conscious decision to eat healthier, work out, lift weights and strengthen his core muscles. In the year following his com-

mitment, O’Connor lost 50 pounds, decreased his blood pressure from 140 over 90 to 110 over 80, and his blood sugar levels are normal.

“I dealt with the situation before it became a real serious event,” he said. “I’m a walking testament that once you get on that path you can’t stray too far off. It was a wake-up call for my life.”

Riverview Foundation Executive Director Trish Oman said the 128-slice CT scanner had been lifesaving.

“We’ve had people come in and there have been things that they were able to detect not otherwise detectable because they had the scan done,” she said.

Oman said there had been occasions when patients go straight from the 128-slice CT scanner to open heart surgery.

“One guy had a scan because he just got on Medicare and was advised to get a test.

After the test the man got in his car and headed home. Doctors called him and told him to turn around and get back here. He had an aneurism,” she said. “It’s a wake-up call for a lot of people.”

Oman said the foundation purchased the CT scanner in October 2010 and the digital imaging catheterization lab in May 2008. The new technology combines the two to better serve doctors and patients.

“There isn’t another hospital that has that combination in Indiana,” Oman said.

Business Move the Needle: First impressions DOUGH

Commentary by CJ McClanahan

As much as I enjoyed an uptick in the temperatures last week, the warm weather also brought something I dislike a great deal – water in my basement.

This past Saturday at 10:30 p.m., during a downpour, we discovered a ton of water in our basement. In addition, because our sump pump had stopped working, the water was rising fast.

We contacted a plumber and water restoration company hoping they could help us out.

After the plumber left at 1:15am, my wife and I sat and waited for the water restoration company to arrive.

The doorbell rang at 1:30 a.m. We were both exhausted, it was pouring outside, and we had just written a big check to install a new sump pump.

I was not in a good mood.

I was greeted by two guys in their 30s who looked like they were in the middle of a long night. They were soaked, and I can only imagine how badly they wanted to go home and get dry.

They smiled, thanked us for the opportunity, and quickly convinced us that the process would be painless, and they would be gone as quickly as possible.

My disposition changed in a second. No

longer was I as frustrated with the situation.

Instead, I was grateful that we were able to get people in the house before there was a foot of water in the basement.

The change in my mood happened within 30 seconds.

That’s the power of a first impression.

Most people think that they have minutes, hours or even days to influence the opinion of others. What research has clearly indicated is that people form an opinion almost instantly.

What’s more important is that this initial judgment is extremely hard to change.

Luckily, making a positive first impression is fairly easy. Always start by putting yourself in the shoes of the person you are meeting (or speaking to on the phone) and ask yourself – “What do they expect?” Then simply smile and exceed those expectations.

As with most things in life, intellectually speaking this is easy. All you need to do is choose to execute.

Choose wisely.

Home sales in 2012 increase, sales in ‘positive territory’

By Jim Litten • news@currentinfishers.com The 2012 housing market ended on a positive note in Central Indiana. With 1,490 pended sales in December in Central Indiana, overall 2012 year-to-date home sales are up 17.3 percent compared to the same time in 2011, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Co. On a monthly basis, December 2012 pended home sales rose 12.2 percent over December 2011, an increase of 162 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks. With 267 pended homes in December, Hamilton County was among the areas with a year-to-date increase over 2011.

• In Hamilton County, 2012 year-to-date pended home sales increased 22.1 percent, increasing the number of pended home sales to 5,493 from 4,497 the previous year.

• Fishers home sales ended 2012 in positive territory as well. Year-to-date home closings increased 9.1 percent, bringing the number

of closings to 504 from 462.

• Home prices in Fishers continue to rise as well. The average sales price from January to December 2012 was $175,231, which is a 4.2 percent increase from the same time in 2011.

• Of the homes that sold in Fishers last month, one was priced $500,000 to $999,999; five were priced $200,000 to 299,999; 19 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

• In addition to rising home prices, tightening inventory is a sign of market stabilization. In Fishers, 152 homes were available for sale in December 2012 – 27 fewer homes than in December 2011.

For 20 straight months, existing home sales have shown month-to-month improvement, and we’re optimistic low interest rates and affordable prices will continue to fuel the trend as we begin 2013.

Spirituality / Grammar Guy

Who taught you that?

Commentary by Mike Colaw

I am a parent. Sometimes I am not entirely certain I am all that good at it, but all the same, I am one. It is my job to help shape a few young minds. Scary, I know. Right now it’s easy stuff.

Don’t touch a hot burner, look both ways when crossing the street and eat your vegetables.

I know the day is coming when it will get exponentially more complicated. I spent quite a few years working in student ministries helping families navigate the teen years, so I know fairly soon dating advice, friend selection and social pressure will consume the conversations I have with my kids. Then comes the really hard stuff: life disappointment, regret, broken relationships and coping skills. What makes this even harder is the paralleled reality of increasingly difficult life circumstances with the decreasing influence and control I have over my kids. Before long, my kids may find themselves like most adults with few people speaking healthy advice into their lives and high-risk decisions in front of them.

So what do I do as a parent? One of my primary goals is to teach my kids to always consider the source. I want to constantly ask them, “Who taught you that?” Help teach them to

differentiate between Disney life advice and Biblical wisdom. That question has so much power.

It helps people stop and evaluate the wisdom of their decisions by pinpointing the source of the wisdom. I want my kids to learn to examine the thoughts that are guiding them.

So here is a question – who speaks into your life? All of us need to allow people to speak into our lives. This is one of the reasons I keep going to school, despite the cost. I want to keep learning. This is why I have a handful of great friends from college, professors, theologians, and even medical people whom I continually bounce ideas off of. It is why I keep reading. This is also why I have learned to turn a deaf ear to opinionated people who clearly aren’t experts.

I am still being shaped. So here is the question you ought to be asking over and over again.

Who taught ME that? I love the way the Bible states it. “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” (Proverbs 13:20 ESV) Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church.

There’s contraction misuse afoot Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Question: I thought I’d feed you a couple ideas for future columns based on some of my own pet peeves. The first is actually a vocabulary issue, not grammar. But it involves the use of the word “myriad.” I think most people think they’re sounding really smart when they use this word, even when they’re using it incorrectly.

The second is much more pervasive and much more egregious in my opinion. That is the use of “there is” (or one of its variations) when they should be using “there are.” For example: “There’s lots of opportunities out there for new graduates.” What bothers me most about this misuse is that it’s so common among people, like business executives, public officials and others who you’d think would have had enough education to know better. – Chris Painchaud, Carmel Answer: The incorrect use of “there’s” is pretty common, isn’t it? It’s just so easy to say.

You’ve hit the nail on the head, though. For plural objects, as in “opportunities” above, the correct phrase would be “there are.” Even our loyal, if not always accurate, friend Microsoft Metal match-up – Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine criticized Men’s Wearhouse for failing to deliver a gift card on time to his tour manager this past holiday season, citing a two-day delivery policy. The kerfuffle caused a social media storm, as he used his band’s Facebook page as a platform. – www.money.cnn.com www.currentinfishers.com

Word knows that rule and will underscore an incorrect “there’s” with its helpful green squiggly. It’s hard to leave those in these columns, by the way, even for educational purposes.

In colloquial speech, I see how the misuse of “there’s” could have arisen. While “there’re” is technically grammatically correct, it’s awkward to say. And it doesn’t even save you a syllable.

Of course, the better option is still to say “there are,” but, hey, pick your battles, you know?

In written communication, I would hope the misuse of “there’s” remains limited to texts, since most spell checks should catch that (and contractions are generally to be avoided in formal writing, anyway). In case you’re wondering why I use contractions in my column, it’s because I see it as a friendly, informal space where grammar enthusiasts can discuss the myriad peculiarities of language. And also I’m lazy.

INSIDE & OUT

Indoors

Creating a beautiful bathroom in a small space Commentary by Larry Greene ORIGINAL BATHROOM: This home is located in the Irvington neighborhood on the east side of Indianapolis and was built in 1941. The current owners are the third owners. The property is the original farm in Warren Park, a four-block radius neighborhood near Irvington. According to the homeowner, “The bathroom is tiny and the prior owners had installed bypass sliding doors on a very high tub. I broke my foot over the summer and struggled to use the shower. We knew we needed a lower tub and more countertop space.”

DESIGN PHASE: Maximizing storage in a relatively small footprint was the main design goal for this bathroom. By reworking an adjacent closet, space was able to be added to the bathroom. Tower cabinetry allowed the use of the vertical space. Material selection and overall style reflected the desires of the client. “When I was in Italy, I saw gorgeous marble bathrooms and I knew I wanted one for myself,” the homeowner said. “Our designer suggested the curved vanity. I like angles, and wanted an old-world feel to the bathroom - a vintage modernized look. That is where the idea for the curved van-

Before ity came from.”

FAVORITE FEATURES: The owner commented, “The marble tile is the star of the show in this remodel.” Elegant 12-inch by 12-inch tiles in a staggered pattern cover the shower wall, finished with Hampton Carrera bullnose and crown molding. On the floor, 1-inch Hampton Carrera hexagon tiles were laid in a straight pattern. According to the homeowner, “I really like the flooring in the new bathroom. During design, large tiles on the floor just did not seem to fit. The small tiles are juxtaposition to the large

Winter is here You’ll spend enough time shoveling snow! So let the Poo Patrol shovel your little “snowman’s” droppings for you!

After tiles on the shower wall.”

FINAL RESULT: “When I walk in to the bathroom, I feel like I am in a spa, even though it is a small space. You do not have to have a large space to create a beautiful bathroom.”
