Mayor announces plans for companies to relocate to Fishers, city council approves

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness had plenty of positive economic development economic development news to share at his second State of the City address Feb. 10 at the Forum Conference Center.

First Fadness announced STANLEY Security, a $2 billion division of Stanley Black and Decker, plans to move its corporate headquarters to a three-story building in Fishers Point Business Park.

“This constitutes almost a $17 million investment in an 80,000-square-foot facility,” Fadness Fadness said. “There will be 150 jobs returning and another 155 new jobs in Fishers.”

In addition, Fadness said Braden Business System, a technology solutions company, plans to build a $5.6 million, 35,000-square-foot building in the Nickel Plate District of downtown Fishers at 7 Municipal Dr. Stated in the proposal, Braden Business Systems will occupy 20,000 square feet, and the City of Fishers will lease the remaining 15,000 square feet. The company also plans to either build, buy or lease a warehouse near the corporate headquarters.

“This will constitute a $7 million investment and nearly 60 good-paying jobs coming immediately with the promise of probably another 40 in the years to come,” Fadness said.

The organization plans to hire an additional 90 full-time employees by 2020.

In his speech, Fadness said more good news would be coming the following day. On Feb. 11, Fishers announced Republic Services will bring its corporate office to the city this year, creating 469 jobs by 2025.

“To put this in perspective for all of you, last year was a tremendous year of economic development for the City of Fishers,” Fadness said. “I’m excited to tell you by the end of the day (Feb. 11) we have surpassed all economic development efforts from 2015, and it will only be Feb. 11.”

Both the Braden and STANLEY projects include tax abatements and fee waivers and the economic development agreements were considered and approved at the Feb. 15 Fishers City Council meeting. Only Councilor Selina Stoller was not in attendance and Councilor Richard Block abstained from the Braden Business Systems vote due to a personal connection with

the Braden family.

According to a release by the city, the Braden Business Systems agreement also includes the dedication of land for the new building. The Indiana Economic Development Corp. also has partnered with Braden Business Systems on the project.

Kehl receives key to the city Fadness paid tribute to Fishers Police Chief George Kehl with a key to the city. Kehl announced in August 2015 he would retire on Sept.

30 of this year after more than 40 years. Kehl

joined the department in 1975 as Fishers’ first law enforcement officer and become the chief in 1978.

Fadness said Kehl has hired every single Fishers officer and has built “one of the most Kehl professional and progressive law enforcement agencies in the state, if not the country.”

As mayor, Fadness frequently goes on ridealongs with the city’s police officers.

“When I talk to those police officers, every single one of them believes to their core that Chief Kehl has their back and Chief Kehl would do anything for them,” he said. “What is equally as impressive from a leadership standpoint is every single one of those officers knows and understands what Chief Kehl’s expectations are, which is to always put the community first.

When a woman has a flat tire and is stranded on the side of the road, Chief Kehl expects his police officer to stop and help that individual.

While patrolling late at night in a neighborhood and someone leaves their garage door open, Chief Kehl expects his police officer to stop and knock on the door and alert the family. This insistence of putting the community first has led to a positive relationship between the police department and the citizens of our community, which unfortunately in today’s world is a rarity.”

Weingardt, George new Fishers City Council leadership

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Former Fishers City Council vice president John Weingardt was government unanimously approved to succeed Pete Peterson as president for 2016 at the council’s Feb. 15 meeting.

Officer elections were postponed from January’s meeting as a number of council members were absent. Only Selina Stoller was absent Feb. 15.

Peterson elected to step down from the role this year Weingardt as he takes on more responsibility within the Republican Party at the county level.

“Last month, we did not elect officers because we did not have a full contingent here, and I thought it would have been a little bit disingenuous to do so, but there have been a number of things that have occurred since

then. There was a county-wide caucus for a new chairman of the Republican Party of Hamilton Co.,” Peterson said. “I am currently the chairman of the Hamilton Co. Republican Party, and I felt, even though I had the support from the council to continue in this role as president, that it really was probably better that I step aside and let someone else take that role for the city.”

Weingardt was nominated

by David George, who was then unanimously approved to serve as vice president following a nomination by Weingardt.

“First of all, I want to George thank Councilman Peterson for his leadership for the last year and more importantly his friendship,” Weingardt said. “I'm looking forward to working with David and the rest of the council and appreciate the confidence they've instilled in me.”

Fishers offers behind-thescenes look at city operation

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Fishers is giving residents 18 and older another chance to learn government about their city’s inner workings as a new session of the City Government Academy begins Feb. 23 at city hall.

The 10-week course meets on a Tuesday or Wednesday night each week from 6 to 8 p.m.

“The program has been a longstanding cornerstone of what we call community Engagement,” Community Domsic Engagement and Volunteer coordinator Dan Domsic said. “Basically the program is a free, 10-week inside look at how the local government operates.”

Mayor Scott Fadness and Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath will welcome participants during the first night of the academy.

where we’re at, different things that are going on and the general structure of how the organization functions,” Domsic said. “From there, participants will go to classes once a week that are taught by our department heads and department leaders.”

Other weeks will focus on and visit the local police department, fire department, parks and recreation offices, city court, Hamilton Southeastern Schools and Fishers’ public works and wastewater treatment plant.

“They’ll walk around out there to learn about just what happens when they turn their faucets off and flush the toilet,” Domsic said. “People enjoy that one. I think there’s something with that one especially where it’s something you deal with every day but you don’t think about it.

“I hope people kind of walk away with a better understanding of just how the city all works,” he added. “It’s a big organization with a big job, and there’re a lot of people that are passionate about what they do.”

Game Day targets big win for HSE schools

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation’s Game Day funfundraiser draiser tips off again for its fourth year from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Feb. 26 at Conner Prairie.

The event has quickly become the foundation’s signature fundraising event through its previous three years.

“It’s actually been growing. It has its roots in a traditional fundraising dinner they’d had for more than a decade,” HSSF Executive Director Freedom Kolb said. “A few years ago we changed it to be much more informal, a mingling event, not assigned tables, and the reception has been fantastic. We have sponsors and participants that come and say ‘Yours is the one event we won’t miss because not only do we do good, but we have a good time while we’re there.’”

Attendees are encouraged to wear attire supporting their favorite sports teams while the event supports innovation in education across HSE schools.

“Game Day is an awesome event, and it’s the largest event and fundraiser dedicated to supporting all of the district’s 21 schools, specifically funding requests directly from faculty members to bring innovation into the classroom,” HSE school board member and liaison to the foundation Howard Stevenson said. “It’s a fun chance for businesses, faculty and parents to come together to make a difference in our schools … We’ll have HSE’s very

Tickets, which are $65 and available at HSEFoundation.org, include dinner, drinks, entertainment and access to a large collection of silent auction items.

The foundation recently concluded its grant application process from HSE teachers, with more than $90,000 in requests submitted.

“We don’t know that we can raise enough money to cover all of them, but we want to fund as many as we can,” Kolb said. “A couple years ago, we netted $20,000, and last year it was closer to $50,000 … You can see the upward trajectory it’s gained, and it’s not just a fundraiser — people really enjoy their time there.”

This year’s Game Day fundraiser will also specifically target HSE science, technology, engineering and math programs.

Starting up

strong From restrooms to boardrooms, Startup Ladies empowering women in business

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com When Kristen Cooper started a new job with web-and-mobile product developer Sticksnleaves and began COVER STORY working out of Launch Fishers in the spring of 2014, she decided she’d try to meet as many new people as possible — no matter which part of the building she found herself in.

A handful of chance meetings in the Launch Fishers ladies’ restroom eventually led to the formation of the Startup Ladies, a movement and organization with the mission of identifying, educating, connecting and increasing investments for women entrepreneurs starting up and scaling their own businesses.

“It's been very organic. This started in the ladies’ room at Launch Fishers. It’s very social,” Cooper said. “I decided that when I was in the ladies' room — the sink faces the door, so I decided when I was washing my hands I was just going to introduce myself.”

Brief introductions eventually led to longer conversations about work and before long business was being conducted and deals brokered right there in the Launch Fishers ladies’ room.

“One day, I was chatting with a woman I saw daily, and we were actually negotiating a contract in the ladies' room,” Cooper said.

“After we negotiated the contract, I said, 'You know, do you think maybe we could be a little more civilized and perhaps get together once a month for lunch and be more strategic about worrying together?'

I said, 'You know, I've been talking to a bunch of other ladies in the ladies' room — I'm going to invite a couple of them, too, and we can talk about how to do business together.'”

The first of what’s now known as the Startup Ladies’ Monthly Meetups took place in August 2014 with three women getting lunch, and the group has continued to grow ever since.

“We all enjoyed it, so we decided to do it

Startup Ladies founder Kristen Cooper addresses the group gathered at the organization's January Startup Study Hall, which was hosted at the Integrating Women Leaders Foundation. (Photo by Sam Elliott)

again the next month, so we had another one and invited a few more people and some things started to surface,” Cooper said. “What was interesting to us was the fact that in this co-working space where several of us worked there were very few women business owners.

We thought, 'Why is that?' There are over 500 members at Launch Fishers, and the overwhelming majority of the owners are men.

“The overall goal is to increase the number of women that are taking a risk, starting up a company and scaling it,” she added. “Scaling it means you're not going to have a one- or twoperson shop. Scaling it means you're thinking big with a vision of 100 or 1,000 people working for your company.”

In addition to regular Monthly Meetups, the group began hosting a series of Startup Study Halls in 2015 to provide structure, consistency and accountability to support new entrepreneurs. Executive mentors speak to the group offering specific strategies and tactics members can utilize with their businesses. Dr. Lisa Hoverman, a specialist with the Burton

D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship at Purdue, discussed how small businesses can apply to federal programs for funding to help businesses scale at a recent Startup Study Hall in January.

“The combination of the community and then providing structure, consistency and accountability led us to where we are now,” Cooper said. “And what the Startup Ladies board is committed to doing is we want to identify a growing, diverse group of women that want to start and scale a business. I'm very much interested in building relationships with investors so that we increase the number of investments and the amount of money being invested into women-owned, womenled companies. The reason that's significant to local economies is because we have proven that when you invest in a company that is led by a woman or owned by a woman, your return is greater than that of a company being owned or led by a man. That's really significant. So if you are a capitalist, you should be very keen on putting women in the C suite.”

Pulling the trigger on the kitchen

It’s your dough they’re using Outgoing Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann said recently the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Indiana Office of Tourism Development have launched the latest round of the Place Based Investment Fund. It gives cities and towns throughout Indiana the opportunity to apply for grants to support community and economic development projects. We’re all about making life better in every corner of this state, but we also believe it is important that everyone understand grant money actually is taxpayer money, and therefore it’s yours.

••• Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) told the Washington Examiner earlier this month the Select Committee on Benghazi, which he chairs, is pressing on with its controversial investigation. Gowdy said he believes it could result in findings being up for public consumption before likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) faces voters on Election Day. This squares nicely with the public’s right to know.

••• Here’s a debate we’d really like to see: Clinton vs. Chris Christie (R-N.J.). With his prosecutorial expertise, we have to believe the former secretary of state would be reeling just minutes into it.

••• We watched with equal parts horror and amusement a video of University of Oregon students, supporters of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Asked a series of questions, not one student could provide a substantive answer. The sheep-ish mentality is alarming.

Object lesson Commentary by Terry Anker These last few of my birthdays have found my children getting into a groove in the gift giving department. When they were young, a finger painted piece of construction paper would be delivered (and received) with unbounded pride and satisfaction. They were certain and secure in the knowledge that I’d love it – and, they were right. I did.

My expectations and their desire to give came into perfect alignment. As we grew older, their thoughts and my desires drifted a bit. Birthdays, other than their own, brought a sense of foreboding, a concern that they’d not be able to deliver something that I might like or enjoy. And, I, at times, took their insecurity as indicating a waning interest in us as their parents. Maybe, I even felt a little sorry for myself.

Then in recent years, our boys – now maturing nicely into fine young Americans – have brought an indication of anticipation and excitement into the exchange. They

have, as they once did, extoled me with their confidence of how much I will love their gift. Rightly deciding that a gift doesn’t have to come from a department store, they have taken to giving me gifts of their time.

They’ve promised, and followed through, on finding activities that we could enjoy together and committing themselves to it.

And like them, I’ve committed just the same.

Isn’t the notion of making a gift to someone about showing them that we honor them, and what they seek, as much as we find our own joy in the giving? It is often said that it is impossible to “buy” for we men of a certain age. Anything we want, we already have. True. But perhaps, we’ve missed the point. Is it possible that a gift is a commitment and not an object?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K Remember, happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.

– Dale Carnegie

It has begun. Today we pulled the trigger on our kitchen remodel, and for your reading pleasure, I promise humor to keep you updated on the inevitable bad choices, measurement snafus and stress-induced tirades that can only come from feeding a family of six with nothing but a microwave and a can opener.

The redo is a long time in the making. Our house has not been updated in 20 years, and the kitchen in particular is showing signs of major wear and tear.

Drawer faces are falling off, cabinets aren’t closing, and the all-white appliances aren’t so white anymore. The only part that has stood the test of time are the countertops, which despite my numerous attempts to stain, burn and permanently damage them, remain obnoxiously stuck in their perfect 1990s laminate glory.

Interestingly, it was a commode catastrophe that finally got us ready to begin this massive undertaking: tree roots broke into the main sewer line, made a comfy little home for themselves, and then caused a massive blockage that sent fecal-contaminated water down our back hall, into a bedroom, and through the vents to the finished basement below. It was so not awesome, but the silver lining is we were able to make a claim on our homeowner’s insurance and gain approval for new flooring in the adjacent kitchen. In the grand tradition of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” one home improvement led to another, and here we are.

Our goal is to have everything complete

by May, just in time for our fabulouslysouthern Kentucky Derby party. Personally, I don’t understand why it should take more than a week to install cabinets, place a countertop, lay the floor and slide in a new fridge. Seriously, how hard is that? But my husband Doo assures me we’ll be kitchenless for at least three, probably more and that at least one delay will occur.

So we’ll see. Hopefully our handy man and various vendors come through, and nothing goes haywire, but knowing my luck, I’ll have plenty to write about. You’re welcome in advance. Peace out.

Twenty-five years ago this week, I found a beagle puppy on my doorstep as I was leaving for work. Here are my humor memories of that morning, partly excerpted from my book, “Mornings with Barney.”

On my doorstep, shivering in the freezing weather, was a tiny beagle pup. I couldn’t leave him out there, but I was on my way to WISH-TV where I had just begun as a feature reporter on the early morning news.

My wife and son were still asleep upstairs.

I placed the dog on the rug in the living room, figuring it was safe to leave him there for a few hours. When I returned home, my wife would be awake and we could decide what to do next.

I’m an idiot.

When I walked in the house, the dog was on the couch. The pillows were shredded. The curtains were yanked off their rods and one designer high-heel shoe, minus the heel, sat in the middle of the floor. The kitchen trashcan was knocked over, with the contents distributed everywhere. After an extensive inventory, we knew a lot had been ingested, too.

Incredibly, he had not had an accident in the house. What a good dog!

My teary-eyed son descended the stairs with a beheaded teddy bear, another casualty of the dog’s tirade. “Daddy, can we NOT keep him?”

The second day, I locked the beagle in an empty downstairs bedroom while I was on location for a television shoot. This dog didn’t have a lot of experience being confined. He howled until I got home. Ultimately, he howled for the remainder of that decade and beyond.

My wife tried to be understanding. “Look, this is real simple, Dick. Find the dog a loving home or a minimum security facility. Or, keep him with you.”

I took Barney to work with me every day for 12 years. It didn’t change his behavior but it changed my … and the lives of everyone else he touched.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: Options to Resolve Your Case Prior to Trial In family law, a majority of cases settle outside of the courtroom. There are many reasons to attempt to reach a settlement, including uncertainty as to the judge’s decision, anxiety about testifying in court, the potential to increase animosity between the parties, and the attorney’s fees associated with attending a hearing. It is common for a party to never step foot inside of a courtroom because the parties reach an Agreement on all terms without the requiring the court’s intervention. There are two primary methods to reach an out-of-court agreement: informal negotiations and mediation. Informal negotiations involve communication between the parties and/or their counsel concerning the terms of a final agreement. This process involves communication as to the terms of a final agreement without the assistance of a third party (a mediator or judge). In some instances, the parties may be able to reach an agreement on the general terms of an agreement and engage counsel to assist with the finalization of those terms to ensure approval by the court. In other cases, counsel for the parties will exchange proposals and draft agreements in an attempt to reach a resolution.

In the event parties are unable to reach an Agreement through informal negotiations, mediation is a common next step. Mediation may be agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the court. At mediation, the parties are typically placed in separate rooms with their counsel and the Mediator serves as the neutral

third party who exchanges proposals between the parties in intensive and focused settlement negotiations. The Mediator’s role is to assist the parties in their attempt to reach common ground by addressing certain considerations as to an anticipated reasonable outcome in court as well as other realistic and pragmatic concerns with any proposed settlement. There are instances where parties do not reach an agreement during mediation. In that case, a final hearing is the next step as the mediator does not have the authority to order the parties to comply with certain terms or reach a final agreement.

A recent trend in family law is for parties to engage in a collaborative divorce process. In such instances, parties are focused on reaching a collaborative agreement and hire respective counsel trained to do so. The process is similar in many respects to informal negotiations and mediation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an agreeable settlement. One different aspect of the collaborative law process is that in the event parties are unable to reach a settlement, they must hire new counsel and begin the process anew.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, or any other family law concerns contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Boy Scouts to offer camps to non-members

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Boy Scouts of America offers several different summer camps, including community camps.

The community camps at Camp Belzer in geist Lawrence Township in Indianapolis start July 5-8 and conclude July 25-29, open to nonCub Scouts from ages 6-11, both boys and girls.

“It’s completely open to those in the community,” said Cara Wagner, marketing and public relations executive with Boy Scouts of America. “There are many of the same activities that Cub Scout Day Camp offers. This is something new we’ve been offering the last couple of years. It’s something we thought would be a good fit for the Lawrence community. It’s been received well, but we’re still pushing to make sure people know about it. We think a lot of people found out about it too late.”

The week runs from 8:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Friday. It concludes with fam-

ily dinner and campfire program. There is an extended day option for those that need to stay until 5:30 Monday through Thursday.

The Cub Scouts’ Day Camp is held at Camp Belzer, which runs June 13-17 from July 25-29, six consecutive weeks of camps.

Wagner said activities include archery, nature trails, rafting, swimming, making campfires, BB guns and gun safety.

“The day camps are really popular,” she said.

There are 11 different weeks of Adventure Camp at Kikthawenund Day Camp in Frankton. They are four-day, three-night sessions starting with the week of June 12-15 and ending the week of July 20-23. The Adventure Camp theme is “The Great Superhero Extravaganza.” Scouts are encouraged to bring superhero costumes. Additional activities include BB guns, air rifles and swimming.

Weblos, Bear and Wolf Scouts also focus on rank advancement adventures. Wolf and Bear Scouts must have completed first grade but not completed third grade or be age 8 or 9.

Weblos must have completed third grade but not fifth grade or

age 10 but not 11 1/2.

For Boy Scouts, the two biggest properties are Camp Krietenstein, in Center Point, and Ransburg Scout Reservation in Bloomington.

Among the activities are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activities, paddle boarding, sailing, scuba diving, horseback riding, fishing and climbing.

The Krietenstein camps start June 12-18 and end July 17-23.

There is no camp July 3-9. The Ransburg camps start June 5-11 and end July 31-Aug. 6.

“Camp Krietenstein has new aquatic activities,” Wagner said.

Junior civic back for summer

By Zach Dunkin • editorial@youarecurrent.com From the 3-year-old who wants to hear fascinating stories and enjoy snacks with other 3- and 4-year-olds to the carmel 6-year-old who wants to memorize a few lines and play a role in a short performance to the teenager who wants to hone his and her skills for a possible career in dance, song and theater, Junior Civic’s summer camps offer youngsters the opportunity to learn a few things about this thing called “show biz.”

“These camps are for anyone and everyone,” said Holly Stults Haas, Civic’s education program director.

“We get kids who are novStults Haas ices – maybe they’ve done a school or church play, but nothing formal.

We get kids who are new to this and aren’t overwhelmed. And we have seen kids who hone their skills in classes every summer.

Somehow you can put them all together and it works. It’s the magic of theater.”

The June and July, camps are divided into three age groups: • There’s the Fairy Tale Players camp for 3- and 4-year-olds. In the 1 1/2 hour, fourday morning classes, the youths bring a snack for story time and spend time indoors and out using their imagination

to bring stories to life.

• In the Storybook Players for 5- and 6-year-olds, the children are exposed to music, art and theatrical activities prepared just for them. During the four-day, 2 1/2-hour classes campers create props and costumes that will help them create their very own adventures for a “show” in the last class.

• The all-day, weeklong Junior Civic Musical Theatre class is the most advanced. Sixty campers start and end the day together, but in between they are separated into their specific age groups of 20 by ages 7-9, 10-11 and 12-14. They spend equal time, singing, dancing and acting. At the end of the week, the entire group performs on the Tarkington stage for family and friends.

“They learn that they really can do great things without being the Broadway star,” Stults Haas said. “We talk about the fact that somebody has to design the lights, design the costumes and sew the costumes and more.

Theater is more than about acting. You learn certain life skills.”

Myart to offer day camps

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com In addition to continuing classes throughout the summer, the four Myart locations – Carmel, Noblesnoblesville ville, Fishers and Zionsville – will be offering a variety of four, day-themed art camps as well as a one day Friday camps.

Camps begin June 6 and are for ages 5 and up. One new option is additional camps for ages 11 and up. Four day camps are 9:30 a.m. to noon and Friday camps are 9 a.m. to noon.

“In camp we have usually five to six projects for the week,” Owner Sylvia Runningen said. “Each day we guide them through a drawing of the project and show them how to use the medium that the project is done in.”

Themes include safari animals, farm animals, fantasy camps, sea camps, around the world, cartoon and many others. Mediums vary between colored pencil, marker, chalk pastel, acrylic painting, black and white, collaging and texturing.

For the one day camps, Runningen said that typically two projects are completed. The camps for the older children will limit projects to three or four for the week, as these camps require more focus and detail.

“We get repeated campers that come back every year, kids in our classes that sign up for camps through the summer, too, and every year we get new campers,” Runningen said.

“Some of our most popular camps are the beginner camps,” stated Elyse Causey, general manager for School of Rock Fishers. “A lot of students who come in at the beginning of the week have Causey never even touched an instrument before, and at the end of the week they’re literally putting on a live performance for their parents and other fans; it’s truly amazing.”

Many of the music camps are called bootcamps, and are five days long, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, all ending in a live performance at the end of the week.

CCPR adds ‘Where It’s At’ camp

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Dept. has a new addition to its summer-camp series list.

Where It’s At is an CARMEL all-day camp from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., for ages 5-11, from May 31 to July 29. Lindsay Labas, CCPR marketing director, said campers can sign up for the entire month, the entire season or by week.

“The focus of Where It’s At is more on kids being kids and not being as structured as far as enrichment activities or sit-down learning they do in some of the camps,” Labas said.

“It’s really given them a chance to get out there and be themselves and have some fun.

They get to become campers of the day if they are nominated for that by the group. They would get a certificate if they are voted by their peers. They can show their uniqueness, creativity and try to stand out amongst the group.”

Labas said each week the camp has different themes. In the Where It’s At camp, campers will explore oceanic life, life on the planet, detective and mystery during I Spy week and crafts.

“One week it’s all about fun in the sun,”

Youth and Teen, Ages 7-17 Art, Science, Clay and More!

Art improves academic performance and sparks creativity and innovation!

Aidan Burke and Jonas Williams in the Outdoor Explorers class put on by the Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation Dept. last year.

coffees across hamilton county

Where to warm up with a cup of joe

Dispatches Commentary by Jason Conerly

Geist: Global village coffee

Carmel: eggshell bistro

The best brews from Africa

A little taste of Europe, in the middle of Carmel

I was always told that the best coffee comes from Africa.

Well, I was always told that by my friend Daniel, who spent a good portion of his life living in Zambia. If Daniel had coffee from Global Village Coffee in Geist, he would probably be impressed.

Serving Ethiopian coffee, Global Village Coffee truly stands out against other places that serve coffee.

The coffee is earthy and sweet. Not sweet in a sense of use of artificial sweeteners, but a mild fruit-flavored sweetness.

The lattes are well balanced as well and it is easy to taste the natural flavor of the coffee without being overwhelmed by anything else that is added to the latte. Overall, the coffee is good and contains a lot of flavor.

Maybe my friend was onto something when he told me the best coffee comes from Africa. It was good to try Ethiopia first.

I felt like I was in Europe.

The Eggshell Bistro seemed like it would fit right in, in France or Italy, which is good, considering the culturally different ways the coffee is brewed to achieve different tastes. This includes the Japanese Siphon technique of brewing coffee.

The coffee that the Eggshell Bistro serves is unique. The “Three Africans” blend is delicious. Served black, it is by far a very smooth cup of black coffee.

It is strong, yet the taste is smooth and there is no overpowering bitterness to it as one might find with an “Americano.” One of its best qualities is that there is virtually no aftertaste after drinking the cup of coffee.

The lattes also offered by the Eggshell Bistro are nice as well. It has more of a creamy texture and highlights the natural taste of the coffee.

Eggshell Bistro is located in Carmel City Center.

Fishers: Sure shot coffeE

noblesville: noble coffee and tea company

Long lines, but coffee worth waiting!

Coffee better than the conventional brews

Who gets up very early on a Saturday just to wait in line with lots of people just to get coffee? Apparently, me.

It was the grand opening of Sure Shot Coffee at Vardagen in downtown Fishers and the wait for coffee was worth it. The coffee itself tastes fresh and has an earthy taste. The lattes are well balanced and does not taste too sweet nor does it taste bitter.

The cold-brewed coffee is worth tasting. I would recommend this for fans of iced-black coffee. It is served extremely cold, and without ice.

Another interesting menu item is “The Undertow.” It gives a hot and cold sensation once one drinks it. It is served as two espresso shots and packs a punch. There is a seating area on the second floor to relax as well.

Would I wait in line with all those people for coffee again?

Definitely.

“Friends don’t let friends drink…” Well, you know how the rest goes. That’s the first thing that I see walking into Noble Coffee and Tea Company in downtown Noblesville, a sign that reads how friends shouldn’t let friends buy over-priced, popularbrand coffee. The menu here is fairly simple to understand and seating is in a separate room apart from where coffee is ordered. If you are new to the coffee shop, the baristas are helpful in making a decision on a cup to drink. After having my first cup, I quickly understood why the sticker was on their front door. Their coffee had an extremely smooth and rich flavor to it.

The brew did not taste like a dark roast or light roast, but something that had characteristics of both. If flavors are added, the flavors are not overbearing, and do not mask the taste of the coffee. Instead, the flavors blend together with the coffee to make a balance.

The Warehouse – The Warehouse in Carmel will have performances all through the year.

Upcoming shows include: Howie Day on Feb. 27, Rickie Lee Jones on March 4, Jon McLaughlin on March 9, Stacy Mitchhart on March 11, Jim Lauderdale on March 12, Darlingside & David Wax Museum with Haroula Rose on May 5 and Tom Rush on May 19. For more, visit liveforthemusic.com.

Shen Yun – On March 8 and 9, the show “Shen Yun” will be on stage with a live orchestra at Clowes Memorial Hall of Butler University in Indianapolis. For more, visit ShenYun.com/Indianapolis.

Maple Syrup Festival – Maple mania has officially struck Brown Co. as the National Maple Syrup Festival is fast approaching! The fun, sticky, and oh so sweet Festival returns to Brown Co. for a second year, March 5-6.

Antiques Road Show – Antiques Roadshow, PBS’s most-watched ongoing series and a production of WGBH Boston, visits Indianapolis as part of a six-city 2016 summer tour.

Day to perform in Carmel

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Since his fourth studio album was released in April 2015, Howie Day has been on a vigorous mission to support it. music “There have been some pretty intense periods of ‘go-go-go!’ since ‘Lanterns’ was released mid-last year, but I suppose that’s a good sign,” Day said.

“I’m still enjoying being on stage, and people keep showing up.”

Day will perform at The Warehouse, 254 First Ave. SW, Carmel, at 8 p.m. Feb. 27. Shane Piasecki will also perform.

“I’m in this phase right now where I’m really digging the solo thing, pulling everything back — especially the new songs from ‘Lanterns,’ to a stripped-down acoustic vibe,” said Day, whose voice is described as a warm tenor. “I think it’s in this space that you can really feel what a song is made of.”

“Lanterns” was funded by fans and Day himself.

“It completely freed me up creatively, which was great,” Day said. “The fans’ feedback along the way was very encouraging. I’m really happy with how ‘Lanterns’ came to be, and I would totally look at something similar again in the future.”

Howie Day will be in Carmel Feb. 27. (Submitted photo)

Day, 35, said he is already thinking about the next music project.

“I’m at this point where I’m completely in the throes of this album cycle and passionate about making people aware of it,” Day said.

“As always, I’m thinking about the next project, but only in the sense of dreaming about it — there are no plans yet, and that’s what’s exciting. Endless possibilities.”

Day’s second album, “Stop All the World Now,” was certified gold in early 2005 and produced hits “She Says” and “Collide.”

Ticket prices are $35 and $25. For more, visit liveforthemusic.com or howieday.com.

Smith’s band set for big year

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Former Indianapolis Colts punter Hunter Smith understands his NFL career helped him generate some publicity early music in his music career.

“We have a novel beginning in that I was a football player,” said the Zionsville resident, who played 10 years with the Colts and two years with Washington before retiring. “That was an interesting thing but in reality it’s also a hole to start in artistically.

People can look at you and say ‘this is really a cute thing that this guy played football and he can sing. But is he really good?’ We’ve passed through the interesting stage onto ‘hey, this is really good stage.’ Now we’re entering in the year where we are really establishing ourselves as a really solid band based upon really good music and great performances and not propped up on the crutch of football or any other novel sort of angle.”

The Hunter Smith Band will perform at the inaugural Back Porch Revival concert Aug. 27 in Iowa City, Iowa. Blake Shelton is the headliner for that festival.

“It will be music festival with six different acts on the bill,” Smith said. “It’s a great op-

portunity for us. It’s will be the largest group we’ve had played for. The organizers were trying to put together some country (bands) but with a strong pop influence.

Smith, 38, said the band, whose second album “Story” was released in August, is increasingly playing more shows.

“This year will be culmination of a lot of hard work and some good music we produced,” Smith said. “We should have a very busy year once our touring season starts.”

The band will perform at Westfield Rocks the 4th on July 4 at Grand Park.

‘Write it down’ with legal documents, instruction letters Commentary by Joe Clark Regular review of financial and legal documents – including wills and planning estate plans – should be an ongoing part of the financial planning process because many state and federal tax codes have changed recently.

A guiding theme in our office is “write it down.” Aside from reviewing current financial statements, we want to understand the “why” behind a particular account owned or investment allocation and a para-planner documents these reasons. Writing it down allows us to more effectively address questions that may arise in the future.

The same reasoning applies to estate planning documents. Trusts and wills instruct the courts, trustees and executors about your wishes regarding the allocation of your resources upon your demise. Writing a simple letter to accompany a will or trust is a great idea and can provide reasoning behind the

legal documents. Such a letter – while not a legal document – provides heirs with information about an individual’s intentions and feelings.

What should you include in such a letter?

Contact information regarding whom to call first is often included. A letter can also share your wishes for a memorial service. Few people put their wishes in writing before their passing, but a letter clearly indicating your wishes can provide an extraordinary amount of comfort to your family.

FHS students hosting Journey of Hope cancer event

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com More than 100 Fishers High School students have been working on and will be a part of the school’s inaugural A Journey event of Hope event — a community outreach event centered around the topic of cancer as students will interactively inform visitors on facets of cancer research and its impact on society with the goal of creating hope in the fight against the disease.

The event is from 4 to 6 p.m. Feb. 26 at FHS’s College and Career Academy.

“It started as kind of an idea for how can we introduce this topic to students to learn about the processes behind cancer, a disease that's brought up all the time and unfortunately we experience very often in our everyday lives,” FHS biology and zoology (Submitted photo) teacher Nick Heitkamp said. “Almost everyone has some sort of personal connection to it.”

Heitkamp was originally going to conduct the project with just his biology classes, but at the suggestion of his assistant principal in October proposed the idea to the rest of the FHS staff.

“It just so happened that my email just filled up with other teachers who wanted to attack the same topic of cancer with a common goal but from all different subjects we

have at the high school,” he said.

In total, 30 teachers across different sciences, art classes, social studies, English, advanced physical education and performing arts will have students involved in the event, which will guide visitors along the students’ interactive informational presentations.

“We're calling it 'A Journey of Hope,' and it will actually be a physical journey the community will walk along.

When you enter the school at the entrance we've specified, there will only be a one-way path essentially,” Heitkamp said. “The first half of the journey is in the sciences, so we're looking at it from a scientific perspective … Then there will be a transition and the second half is the humanities. We'll have our English classes, both visual and performing arts and we have several local physicians who will be there to answer questions and also interact with the students, who are presenting their final presentations.”

Representatives from local Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society will also be on hand, as will art therapy organization Creating Hope and ovarian cancer awareness group Ovar’coming Together.

For more, email Heitkamp at NHeitkamp@ hse.k12.in.us or visit the event’s Facebook page at on.fb.me/1k6scf4.

Dispatches IU Health Saxony to host dinner - From 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 23 come to the Conference Rooms A&B at IU Health Saxony Hospital for an evening dedicated to women’s heart health. The keynote speaker, Farooq Iqtidar MD, cardiologist with IU Health Physicians-Cardiology, will present the latest research and information pertaining to heart health and women. For more, visit www.

IUHealth.org. Seats are limited. Reserve your spot by calling 678-DOCS. Burn relief – If you burn yourself in the kitchen, mix just enough baking soda with honey to make a spreadable paste and apply to the burn. The baking soda will help cool the wound, while the honey’s antibacterial properties will stave off

infection and speed up healing. The sooner you apply it to the burn, the better chance you have of preventing it from blistering.

Source: BottomLinePersonal.com Bronchitis relief – Bronchitis is an inflammation, infection or swelling of the bronchial tubes. The main symptom is a cough but other symptoms can also include congestion, aches and fever.

Here are some natural remedies to relieve those symptoms: 1. Ginger tea 2. Epsom salts – dissolve four cups in a warm bath and soak 3. Honey – add to any tea Source: naturalon.com

The Shard from the Tower of London. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Shard: A new symbol of London?

Commentary by Don Knebel

Critics of London’s “Shard” say it resembles broken glass. Erecting that building, the tallest in the Europe Union, required breaking barriers, both aesthetic and technical. travel In 2000, Irvine Seller, a London developer, got the idea of erecting a vertical city on the site of a building he owned just south of the River Thames, across from the Tower of London. Wanting not only to erect a building but to make a statement, he met in Berlin with Italian architect Renzo Piano, who sketched the design of an irregularly-shaped glass pyramid on a restaurant napkin. Seller immediately embraced the design concept, inspired by the masts of Thames sailing ships and London church spires, but a number of London heritage groups did not.

One said the proposed building would be like“a shard of glass through the heart of historic London.” After an expensive public inquiry, the design was approved and the derision was adopted as the building’s official name.

The site on which the Shard was to be

erected was closely surrounded by other buildings, including a hospital, which required demolishing the existing 24-story building piece by piece. To save time and money, 23 stories of the concrete central core of the new building, to which the floors are attached, were completed before the basement had been excavated, a technique called “top down” construction that had never been used on a skyscraper. The concrete core rose nearly 10 feet a day, with the forms aligned using GPS, another technique new to skyscrapers.

Completed in 2012, the Shard is 1,016 feet high and incorporates 11,000 panes of glass, enough to cover more than 10 football fields.

The glass reflects the changing colors of the sky, creating what some are beginning to regard as the new symbol of London. Critics are not sure they like that idea.
