‘Smart, vibrant, entrepreneurial’ news@currentinfishers.com

On Feb. 18, Mayor Scott Fadness presented the first State of the City address, sharing his vision for Fishers, a city with an anticipated state of the city population of 123,000 by 2030. Fadness explained how Fishers will continue to be an extraordinary community, by focusing on: • Employment opportunities in Fishers • Investing in unique amenities to attract next-generation top talent • Promoting quality construction standards • Incentivizing redevelopment and continual vibrancy • Collaborating with Hamilton Southeastern school district to maintain a quality school system • Prioritizing high-quality, public safety “When we wrap all of these together, it paints a picture of a smart, vibrant, entrepreneurial city,” said Fadness.

‘Smart city’ Fadness addressed three points to ensuring that Fishers continues to thrive as a smart city.

Efficient, effective delivery of services: The police and fire and emergency services departments are becoming more efficient and effective public safety agencies by focusing on adding value to the community when not on a call. Fadness highlighted the Fire/EMS department’s paramedicine program and the crime reduction unit at the police department.

Well-planned community: Fadness acknowledged that Fishers had grown so quickly, often without a plan.

“We have to be a well-planned city. The time has come to map out a plan for our community. This year, we will be rolling out a comprehensive plan for the next 20 years,” he said. Fadness encourages community input.

Culture of excellence in education: Fadness said that Fishers must maintain a culture of excellence in education to continue to be an economic engine for the state of Indiana. “As a father and a mayor there is no bigger point of concern than our schools,” he said.

‘Vibrant city’ Fadness plans to revitalize older areas of the city and look for ways to engage citizens in community involvement opportunities.

Revitalization: “When we forget about the older neighborhoods and older commercial corridors, we do so at our own risk,” said Fadness. “We’ve collected over $10 million in federal funds for roundabouts, new pavement, streetscape on the 96th Street corridor,” he said. “A lot of our neighborhoods are aging. We have a broad initiative to renew sidewalks and to repave some streets,”

DISPATCHes Mayor’s Night Out –Fishers mayor Scott Fadness is hosting Mayor’s Night Out at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at Conner Prairie’s Woodland Hall. Mayor Fadness will give a brief presentation, but the agenda will be set by the residents in attendance.

Mayor Fadness and city department heads will be on hand to answer the questions presented by residents.

Softball leagues forming – Fishers Parks & Recreation’s spring softball league is back; inviting adults 18 and older to participate in six weeks of play with games taking place from 1 to 6 p.m.

Sundays. Cost is $409 per team for Fishers residents or $614 for nonresidents.

Residence is based on team captain.

Registration is due by March 27. Visit www.fishers.in.us for more information.

Revitalizing efforts will maintain viability for these neighborhoods.

Sense of community: Traditions make up the fabric of a community. “Last year, 105, 000 people came to our programs,” said Fadness. “Well-attended Nickel Plate District Amphitheater programs and community events are critical for the viability of our community.”

‘Entrepreneurial city’ Fadness is committed to the vision of Fishers as an entrepreneurial city and a thought-leader in the state.

Launch Fishers: Launch Fishers is a co-working space for entrepreneurs working on startup, high-growth and high-potential enterprises. “Two and a half years later, we have 438 members--our goal was to have 200,” said Fadness.

Launch Fellowship program: Fadness announced the Launch Fellowship program. HSE students with entrepreneurial aptitude can participate in a “boot camp” with John Wechsler, founder of Launch Fishers. Students will get a summer internship. Launch Fishers will pay half the salary for summer, and the hiring company with pay half.

“I’m 100 percent committed to the vision of an entrepreneurial city,” said Fadness.

Fadness closed the address with a request to residents to engage in their community. “If we work together, our future is very bright,” he said.

USAF veteran shares collections for Black History Month

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

For 38 years, Noblesville resident Charles Warren served in the United States Air Force on active and reserve duty. For the past 50 years Warren has been preserving America’s hisProfile tory and sharing it with others by collecting coins and medallions.

Warren, 66, began his collection in high school.

“Everyone was coin collecting in the ’60s. Most of my friends collected coins, I just stayed with it,” he said. “I moved from stamps to coins.”

His love led Warren to become a numismatist – the study, science and collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, medals and related objects. Warren was the Indiana representative for more than 20 years in the ANA. Each February, he exhibits his display cases at local schools and universities as part of Black History Month.

Last week, he shared his collections in display cases at Fishers schools.

“I really enjoy getting out and the kids come up and have never heard of it (the history),” he said. “Some of the older people who see the collection will reminisce about when the Booker T. Washington or George Washington Carver coins came out.”

While smaller now, at its peak in the ’70s and ’80s Warren had accumulated more than 10,000 items and expanded to include foreign currency.

“I got rid of a lot of it,” he said, adding part was sold and part was lost in a storage unit while serving in the Middle East. “I had 18 display cases covering foreign currency to tax tokens and Great Depression medals.”

One of his favorite pieces is the Jackie Robinson commemorative gold dollar, but the jewel in Warren’s collection is antislavery

tokens from the 1830s.

“They are the hardest to find because there weren’t too many of them made,” he said.

Warren’s tokens are of a female in chains. He said a similar version with a male was made but the U.S. Mint stepped in.

“They were the size of a penny at that time, which is about a quarter today and made out of copper. Only five were printed and each is valued at six figures,” he said. “You won’t see it in my collection, I’ll tell you that.”

His display serves as a history lesson for younger viewers and

he hopes it spurs an interest in collecting items.

“I hope it sparks their interest in history,” he said. “Maybe one or two will decide to get into that area – the idea of collecting and knowledge. When I picked this up, I did better all around in school and with my grades. Until that time I was going to school but wasn’t too interested.”

For those interested in collecting, Warren’s advice is to read and learn.

“I tell anyone to read all you can on coin collecting,” he said.

“When I first started I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to clean a coin because it hurts the value. There is a lot of information to know what you are looking at.”

Warren suggests utilizing the library, internet and even becoming a member of the American Numismatic Association.

“There is a lot of new material out there and new currency items at the U.S. Mint,” he said.

Warren said one of the biggest changes since he began is the amount of African American items.

“Broken bank notes had African Americans on it. Confederate currency had a picture of a slave working in the fields or picking cotton. Now it’s hard to track and find genuine confederate currency,” he said. “There’s been a lot to come out in the last 10 years.”

In addition to collecting African American items, Warren also has assembled signatures of four of the five Black Registers of the Treasury (Blanche K. Bruce, 1881-1885; Judson W. Lyons, 1898-1906; William T. Vernon, 1906-1911; James C. Napier, 1911-1913; and Louis B. Toomer, 1953-1956).

“Only four signed currency,” Warren said. “Toomer didn’t sign because the register was no longer required to sign.”

To see more of what Warren has collected, visit Traders Point Academy this week, the next stop on his collection.

Fishers City Council recap

Compiled by Beth Taylor

What happened: City planner Kevin Stotts presented the first reading of a request to approve the rezoning of a property located on the northeast corner of 104th Street and Olio Road from residential (R2) to commercial (C2).

What it means: The property is owned by the Hamilton Southeastern school corporation. Due to road realignment, use of the property by the near-by school is not feasible. The rezoning would allow for a business to utilize the 2.17-acre lot. If approved GBW, LLC plans to build a small neighborhood retail building.

What’s next: The staff will continue to seek input from the public and conduct further review of the proposal prior to the public hearing at the plan pommission review on Mar. 10. The second reading at the city council is scheduled for April 20.

What happened: Controller Oscar Gutierez presented an ordinance to establish cash change funds and petty cash funds.

Gutierrez

What it means: These funds will enable departments to provide greater customer service to residents, contractors and other constituents of the City of Fishers. The cash change funds simply allows the department taking in money to provide change, if needed, to the customer. The petty cash funds are to provide access in small amounts of cash if a department or employee of that department has need to make a small purchase.

What’s next: The council approved. The controller will oversee all funds.

What happened: Assistant Director of Redevelopment Shelby Bowen presented a resolution requesting that the council approve a waiver of impact fees for a parcel of land on Maple Street that RE/MAX Ability Plus plans to redevelop.

What it means: If Fishers provides the requested fee waiver, RE/MAX Ability Plus will invest approximately $1.8 Million to construct an approximately 7,200 squarefoot two-floor building that includes a café, formal and informal meeting space and offices.

What’s next: The RE/MAX development will move forward.

‘40 days’ of prayer begins

By Chris Bavender and Alison Baker news@currentinfishers.com

A “prayerful protest in support of life” known as 40 Days for Life got underway Feb. 18--Ash Wednesday--outside the Planned religion Parenthood facility in Fishers.

“40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families,” said Rosie Zatkulak, an organizer for the group.

40 Days for Life started in 2007 in Texas when a small group got together and decided to hold 40 days of prayer and fasting - along with a Zatkulak prayer vigil - outside a local Planned Parenthood. After that first event, word spread and it became a “worldwide movement” with more than 650,000 volunteers in 559 cities and 27 nations.

“Thus far there have been 9,699 babies that we know of that have been saved from abortion, their mothers spared the heartache of that choice” Zatkulak said. “As well as 107 abortion workers who quit their jobs and 60 abortion centers closed.”

The goals of this event, however, go beyond saving lives. Members of the pro-life community want mothers to realize that there are other options, options that recognize the value of a human life.

“What is most loving to both mother and child is to allow the child to live and then decide

whether they are ready and able to be a parent or to place the child into an adoptive family,” Zatkulak said. “That is not to say that it will be easy or without problems, but anything that really matters rarely is! We are not simply saying ‘Don’t have an abortion, but you are on your own,’ - we hope the message they receive is ‘We want to help both you and your child.’”

Zatkulak said the cold weather will definitely affect their numbers but is “encouraged that many people who would come to the prayer vigil still ‘sign up’ to pray at home, church etc.”

“We sign up to pray in one hour shifts and in this weather we dress in lots of layers and are ‘warmed up’ by the many positive responses we get from those driving by,” she said.

The Fishers 40 Days for Life will be from 8 a.m.

- 7 p.m. Mon.-Sat. and noon-5 p.m. Sunn, through March 29 - the traditional 40 days of Lent. To participate visit 40daysforlife.com/Fishers or call 294-5553. Or, Zatkulak said, “simply show up to pray.”

Get to know Dr. Allen Bourff, the new Hamilton Southeastern Schools superintendent

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com

Dr. Allen Bourff began his new job as the superintendent for the Hamilton Southeastern school district in January. Current in Cover Story Fishers sat down with Bourff to find out how his experience in other districts will help him lead HSE. Q: Why did you want the job? What appealed to you about becoming the new Hamilton Southeastern Schools superintendent?

A: Personally, it was an opportunity to expand the range of my career experiences. Previously, I had been a rural district, in an urban district, but this is a chance to be working with what’s still classified as a suburban school district.

This district has its own unique characteristics, and it provided me with a chance to expand my own experiences. On a very personal note, it was an opportunity to be within 10 minutes of two granddaughters. My family lives in central Indiana. I’ve also done so much work in Indianapolis, that I welcomed the opportunity to be in one of the schools near Marion County, so I can have greater participation in some of the decision making that takes places in the center of Indiana.

Q: How has your previous experience prepared you for the challenges facing HSE? A: I think every district has its unique set of challenges. What I have seen as the center-most ingredient in problem solving has been to bring people around the challenge. That’s exactly what we’re doing regarding the funding formula. As time goes on, as similar challenges face us, the

strategy is going to be similar as well--to enlist the assistance of people who are committed to the organization. And that’s what I’ve done in previous districts.

Q: How will you work with legislators to address the state funding formula?

A: We will work very closely. Todd Huston and I have been talking about the timing of some of our efforts. He and Mike Reuter (Chief Financial Officer for HSE) and I will come around the budget release to find out what our strategies

Urban and Bourff discussing education ‘scores’

About Dr. Allen BOurff Hometown: Kokomo Education: Indiana University. Began career as a high school English teacher Family: Wife, Melissa; sons, Nicholas and Nathaniel; four grandchildren Vacations: We like to take long weekends and go to Broadway. We take in the shows and enjoy New York. We also enjoy road trips, especially to the Great Lakes.

will be. Until I became the HSE superintendent, I wasn’t aware of the depth of the funding problem. For example, literacy test instruments should be in the hands of every kindergarten through fourth-grade teacher. We are providing one for each grade level by the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation. If not for the foundation, the teachers wouldn’t have this important tool. We’re seeing curriculum being purchased by the foundation. When I began to study the patchwork of remedies that Mike Reuter has had to put together over the years, I was flabbergasted.

Q: Have you had experience with redistricting? What did you think of the way in which HSE handled the most recent redistricting changes?

A: I think it was handled beautifully. I have dealt with redistricting. The difficulty happens in the fall, when the plan is executed, because problems can crop up in ways you haven’t anticipated. I have nothing but compliments. The timing was also good so that plans could be well thought through. Communication pieces are being put in place, and the schools are setting up transition and welcome nights.

Q: What are your thoughts on the way ISTEP has been handled?

A: I’m all in favor of whatever compromise can be worked out between the governor’s office and the Department of Education. I know that they both have the best interest of the students in mind, but they’ve come at it from very different angles.

The governor has heard all the complaints about the number of hours dedicated to testing this school year, but the DOE is working diligently to meet federal guidelines. It’s compliance versus the concerns of parents. I don’t want to seem

derisive of either, because I think they are all working in a rapidly changing environment. If the requirement is that we need to test according to what we’ve been given, then let us do that. We were prepared, even though the requirements were voluminous this year. We were trying to minimize the daily experience for our students.

Our greatest block of time was a couple hours in any given day. If they are going to change it, I urge them to do it quickly. Let us know, and we’ll make it work.

First impressions: My overall impression is so positive in that student engagement is rich and pervasive.

What do you look for in student engagement?

You look for students who are leaning forward as they are listening to teachers.

Students are intent on work in front of them, and group work is focused on content. That’s what I’ve been observing in K-12, whether it’s in an art classroom or a second-grade classroom. We’re so fortunate to have parent participation at such a high level. It’s beyond the bake sale.

New child care center coming

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Children’s Learning Adventure child care center, or CLA, will open the first Fishers location in 2016. Known for offering a family specific curriculum and classroom attractions, CLA offers a stimulating learning environment mixed with favorite kid activities. The facility will be near Highway 37 and 131st Street in the Fishers Marketplace area.

“Fishers is a vibrant Indiana community that is an excellent cultural fit for our requirements,” said Daniel Petersen, a vice president at Children’s Learning Adventure. “The fit is mutually beneficial; we become an amenity to our communities that parents seek out.”

Kids are drawn to the amenities as well, as CLA provides activities that may not be seen at typical child care facilities. According to Petersen, CLA centers feature a planetarium in the Math & Science lab, a television studio for teaching public speaking skills, an art studio complete with a kiln for pottery and a miniature city that helps kids experience a real life environment.

CLA accepts children from 6 weeks of age on up through sixth grade and provides a specific curriculum to each age group. Petersen stated that CLA can be thought of as a premium early education provider. “Our proprietary Lifetime Adventures curriculum was designed in partnership between CLA and leading early childhood brain experts, and our curriculum programs include

infants, toddlers, preschoolers, pre-K and both before school and after school,” he said.

In fact, similar to the CLA classroom amenities, the center’s after school activities seem to be above and beyond the usual experience. “Our afterschool and summer camp complex features full court basketball, bowling lanes by Brunswick, a commercial grade cooking school, a Broadwaystyle theater, computer/iPad lab and a large, quiet study hall,” Petersen stated. “I have yet to see anybody in the industry do afterschool and summer camp like we do.”

CLA’s summer camps are popular at other locations and Petersen said that summer camp programs will be offered in Fishers. He went on to say that the kids enrolled in summer camps will also be able to participate in field trips.

As dangerous as cancer is, it can also be rather difficult to talk about. But Dan and his wife Beth are doing more than talking, they’re singing the praises of all those who helped. “I figure if we’re going to fight cancer, let’s get Community on our team,” declares Dan. And as Beth can attest, it was that team that she truly appreciates. She says, “What I liked about Community is that they had a navigator that helped us with all the tests and the terms we didn’t understand. It was comforting to have someone looking over our shoulders.” Of course successful outcomes don’t just happen, they take collaboration. Just ask Dan’s surgeon, Dr. Narayanan, who says, “Dan’s team and our team have given him every chance in the world to be around for a long time with his wife, his kids and his grandkids.” Choosing to beat cancer starts with choosing the right specialists.

Touring the van

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Howard Dean, the would-be comedian?

The 2016 presidential race is heating up, and we got a real charge out of the latest shenanigans, this one compliments of Howard Dean, the former failed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vermont governor. Sensing that Scott Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, is gaining steam on his march toward the party’s nomination, Dean took a shot at Walker for not having a college degree. “The issue is, How well educated is this guy?” Dean asked. “I worry about people being president of the United States not knowing about the world and not knowing much about science.”

Well, then, this borders on hilarity. We’re assuming Dean is just parroting the party line in trashing Walker. What would you expect from the party of elitists? We find it interesting that we never heard Dean worry, back in 2008, that his party’s nominee, Barack Obama, was nothing more than a community organizer and very junior senator. Did Dean believe Obama had learned everything he needed to know about the world from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? At least Obama has a degree from Harvard, and we’ve seen how that has worked out. Speaking of Harvard, we wonder if Dean ever questioned Teddy Kennedy’s Harvard degree. You just have to love Teddy. Back in 1951, he was forced to withdraw from Harvard for cheating on his Spanish final. He was allowed back in – the check cleared – and eventually earned his degree. Another round, Teddy? “Si, mis amigos.

Mucho gusto!” Unfortunately, we’re starting to see what direction this election season is taking, and it’s not going to be pretty. Walker is an accomplished governor, in our opinion, and if he stays the course – in other words, he doesn’t turn into the typical wimp Republican – he could be a formidable challenger. Let’s concentrate on what all the candidates have actually accomplished. Sorry, Hillary.

Adult supervision

Commentary by Terry Anker

As a kid, tornados never seemed that scary.

The wind would blow, sure; but other than picking up the limbs that would be strewn across the lawn the next day, there seemed to be little impact. I grew up safe in the knowledge that if something bad was going to happen, that someone, an adult, would let me know. I think most of us did. But on a rainy day in April of 1974, I was forced to put this supposition to the test.

Mom was making preparations for a ladies club party that she was hosting in our home that night. And, I’d just finished my homework and was watching a little television before being banished to my bedroom when the grown-ups came over. The unremarkable evening, like many scores of others, spun around us with little note of it.

My Dad came home from the fields a bit early.

It had been raining off and on all day. Such is spring in the Hoosier state. But as his pickup

parked on the gravel in front of the house, he didn’t come in immediately as was his custom.

Instead, I noticed him peering at the sky from the front porch. Distracted by the TV, I didn’t immediately notice him come in the house – although the door was inches away. He was applying all of his considerable strength to close the door. His shouts were barely audible over the din. In an instant I was scooped up and delivered to safety. The next time I was in that room, it was gone.

Yes, tornados are scary and do kill people. But the adults in my life were vigilant, and ready to sacrifice. We, even the dog, survived and built back the house. Today, it makes me wonder are we ready for the wind to blow?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K Don’t tiptoe through life just so you can arrive at death safely.

– Tony Campolo

Here’s a throwback column in celebration of my upcoming eighth anniversary at Current.

Hi, and welcome to Department of Kids and Recreation official Mini-Van Tour. My name is Danielle.

“Excuse me, Danielle what’s that odor . . . ?”

I tell you what, let’s hold all questions ‘til the end of the tour.

“But, it’s like the zoo . . . “ Thank you. Now this mini-van was established in the year 1998 under the direction of Chrysler- Motors. It can easily hold a doublewide stroller, four Size 3 soccer balls, and seven gallons of milk. Purchased in 2001, it had no dents or scratches, no stains or holes in the fabric, and gave off a fresh pine sent.

All air vents were coin-free and the cassette player worked properly at that time.

Before we enter the van, I’d like to point out a few interesting spots on the exterior, beginning with this sine wave-like mark along the entire left-side. That’s no custom detailing! This unique decoration came about after a rather close encounter with a mailbox two months into ownership. Now on the right, you’ll notice a more subtle scratch, though no less handsome. This beauty was the result of poor navigation by a seemingly sober woman who was helping the actual sober driver back out of a bar parking lot at 2 a.m. after a bachelorette party. I call these “accoutrements.”

“Danielle, what’s that white scratch that looks like you hit a house?”

For the last time, please hold all questions until the end. As I manually slide open the two side-doors (you may want to put those gas masks on now) please note how this seat belt has become entangled with the locking mechanism. That’s a new feature, folks!

Under the back bench, take notice of the large pile of wrappers, discarded Kleenex, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, and yes, it’s your lucky day, people, an honest-to-God sippy cup from 2006. Probably a nice sharp cheddar in there by now. Do I hear someone’s stomach growling? Ha-HA! In between the two front seats, you’ll see the typical collection of water bottles, pacifiers and reject Yu-Gi-Oh cards. But if you’ll peer just to the right, you’ll be in for a real treat. Anyone “hazard” a guess?

“A moldy waffle?”

“A mutilated Barbie?”

Both reasonable answers, but no. That, my friends, is an actual corn dog from the 2003 State Fair. Ah, the memories. They grow up so fast, don’t they? But I digress . . .

At this time, I’d like to conclude our tour.

Y’all have been one of the greatest groups I’ve ever worked with, really. Peace out!

Combating synthetic drug use

Commentary by State Sen. Jim Merritt

Indiana has some of the strongest laws in the country regarding dealing and possessing synthetic drugs, but these laws, laws and our safety, are being jeopardized by a recent court ruling.

The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that the state law criminalizing the dealing in and possession of synthetic drugs is too vague for the average citizen to understand and, therefore, is unconstitutional.

According to the Indiana Poison Center’s most recent annual report, stimulants and “street drugs” ranked fourth in the top ten most serious poisonings resulting in major symptoms or death. As long as synthetic drugs are legal, Hoosier lives are at risk.

As written in Indiana code, a person must reference a few statutory provisions and agency rules to determine whether a substance is illegal. It is my belief that ignorance to the laws that apply to one’s actions should not excuse an individual in court.

I am working with the Office of the Attorney General to appeal this ruling to the Indiana Supreme Court for the benefit of all Hoosiers.

We need to put a stop to synthetic drug use in Indiana and avoid using “vagueness” as a cover for criminal activity.

In addition, I authored Senate Bill 93, which would require the Indiana administrative code

Lawn day’s journey Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

to include a list of specific substances that have been declared as synthetic drugs. It is my hope that this would provide clarity in the law, and prevent offenders from using loopholes to escape consequences.

As your state senator, I will continue working diligently to ensure your safety, which starts with addressing the drug problem in our state and preventing this epidemic from stealing more Hoosier lives. In order for that to happen, it is imperative that our laws stand up in court.

As always, my office is available as an additional resource. You can contact me by phone at 232-9533 or by email at Senator.Merritt@iga. in.gov with feedback or questions.

READER’S VIEW New stadium to unite Indiana Editors, Attending a professional sporting event is an unforgettable experience. For most people, it is the only time they enthusiastically high-five complete strangers. As you can imagine for fans, the proposed “Stadium for Indiana” is certainly more than just building some walls, stands and a field for our Indy Eleven professional soccer team. It is about creating a transformational experience that ignites passion in all people of various ages in our community, city and state.

For the more than 60,000 members who make up the Indiana soccer family, and who play for one of the 140 member clubs or in one of the several Indiana adult leagues, attending an Indy Eleven game or a Men’s or Women’s National Team at the new stadium, will inspire dreams.

While the stadium will be a showcase home for Indy Eleven and other soccer events — including a potential professional women’s team — it will be a multipurpose stadium hosting entertainment and other sports at the professional, collegiate, high school and youth levels.

The proposed stadium would be more than

just an investment in our youths and attraction for our adults — it would boost Indiana’s economy.

For Indianapolis, the city is bolstering its position as the capital for sports in the U.S. We’ve come a long way since laying the foundation for the Hoosier Dome. Ersal Ozdemir, the owner of Indy Eleven, is building upon a vision with soccer fans in mind.

If soccer isn’t your thing; if you never attend a match; you’ll never have to pay a dime toward the stadium’s construction. If you don’t go, you won’t pay. The cost for building the stadium at $82 million will be paid for only by those who attend events at the stadium.

I encourage everyone to contact their legislator so lawmakers at the Statehouse realize this stadium is an investment in more than just the Indy Eleven team or soccer. Instead, this is an investment in ensuring a strong future by improving the quality of life for Hoosiers across Indiana.

‘Our government subsidizes all modes of transportation’ Commentary by Larry Lannan The City of Fishers has notified the Central Indiana Regional Transit Authority (CIRTA) that local subsidies for the commuter government bus, running to and from downtown Indianapolis during the morning and evening rush hours, will end in May. That spells the end of the service.

The buses were down to three runs in the morning commute and three in the afternoon commuting time. The cost had risen to $5 per trip after the end of subsidies. The fare had been as low as $2 per trip, with more daily trips available.

As the government subsidies ended, Miller Transportation, the private contractor providing the bus service, told Fishers government officials that 116 riders per day were required just to break even on the operation. Despite efforts by local officials, Miller Transportation and CIRTA, the commuter bus service was unable to attract enough riders to erase the financial losses.

This service died for two reasons. First, the federal government subsidies ran out, requiring fares to rise. $5 is a lot for many riders to pay.

Second, gasoline prices are at their lowest ebb in a very long time.

Both factors, and a few others, combined to bring an end to the local subsidies, which will bring an end to the downtown Indy commuter bus service.

I’ve seen and heard lots of comments about government subsidies for transportation services like the Fishers commuter bus to downtown Indy. Many argue that if the bus service isn’t making money, there should be no government subsidies at any level to prop it up.

I understand that argument. There is only one problem with it. Government subsidizes virtually all transportation in this country.

Air travel and commercial airlines would not exist if government did not provide support such as airports and an air traffic control system.

When the airline industry was about to collectively go out of business shortly after 9/11, the federal government provided direct subsidies to keep the planes flying.

Streets, roads, interstate highways and traffic signals are all forms of government subsidies to transportation. We couldn’t use our vehicles without all this infrastructure constructed with government money.

I am not making an argument for or against subsidizing certain modes of transportation.

But for any transportation system to be viable, it needs government help. Government must wisely decide when such subsidies make sense and when such spending does not make sense.

How full is your bucket?

Commentary by Heather Kestian As we were sitting down to eat dinner last week, my oldest asked me the following question, which was completely unsofamily licited: “Mom, how was your day, today? Did you do anything fun?”

What just happened? Is this reality?

Usually, his dad and I drill him and his brother with questions about their day. What did you do? What did you learn? How were your classes? Did you get to play outside? It might sound a bit like an interrogation or an inquisition, depending on your perspective. But on the day in question, our first grader started the conversation.

Naturally, we asked what prompted this change. As fate would have it, it was Kindness Week at school. He learned that people like it when you ask about their day—so he decided to experiment with his newfound knowledge.

In fact, all week long he was going to do nice things for people without being asked to do so. Being a person of science, I do love a good experiment, so go forth and do good, kid. We asked him to report back on his findings at the end of the week.

Sure enough, the kid delivered. He cleaned up his room without a single prompt. He gave his brother extra hugs when the little one fell down. He kept asking thoughtful questions. He

said he did the same thing at school—picking up things his friends had dropped and helping others at his table. It was absolutely beautiful to watch.

Towards the end of the week, he asked me if my bucket was full, empty or “so-so.” Well, I think it is mostly full. Why do you ask? He had learned this week that the bucket story was indeed true. The more he did for others, the better he felt too, so his bucket was really full.

For all the lessons he has ever learned, this was easily the most valuable. I hope his teachers know the difference they made during Kindness Week. You have given him a changed perspective through experimentation with kindness. Empowering a person to consider how their actions can impact others and themselves is an invaluable life lesson, one I fear far too few people understand. Don’t mistake me, I love science, math and reading, but this lesson is superior to anything you find in a textbook and much harder to learn. Thank you for helping shape the heart and soul of my little human.

Tony Award-winning ‘Art’ opens Feb. 26

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestifeld.com As he prepares his swan song to the stagedirecting part of his theater career, Ken Klingenmeier relishes the opportunity to theater present Yasmina Reza’s play “Art” for a second time — for a different company but on the same stage as in 2008.

This time he will emphasize the Tony Awardwinning show’s serious side, though its comic aspects are never far from the surface. As the French playwright said about her work in 2000, “Art” is a tragedy “because it is a break-up of a friendship, a rupture between people… My plays have always been described as comedy, but I think they’re tragedy. They are funny tragedy, but they are tragedy. Maybe it’s a new genre.”

“It’s a play about friendship, not art,” Klingenmeier explained. “And the way she details it, it’s effective storytelling.”

Both funny and sad, “Art” is a fine candidate for “talkbacks” after every performance, the director has found. He has arranged for those with the new production because they worked so well in 2008, he says. The conversations naturally settle on what makes someone your friend.

There’s less focus on what makes something art, because Reza is mainly concerned to explore the nature of friendship, using art as a vehicle.

Klingenmeier has two-thirds of the cast he worked with in 2008: Daniel Shock returns as Serge, a man who pays a lot for a white-onwhite painting he’s quite fond of, and Larry Adams as Marc, his friend, who is deeply skeptical

Clay Mabbitt (Yvan), Larry Adams (Marc) and Daniel Shock (Serge) star in Carmel Theatre Company’s production of Yasmina Reza’s “Art” which opens Feb. 26 for a three weekend run. (Photo by Ken Klingenmeier) of the purchase, putting a strain on the friendship. The newcomer is Clay Mabbitt as Yvan, a fun-to-be-with, eager-to-please friend of Serge’s who is drawn into the conflict.

Carmel Theatre Company is in its second season at the 70-seat Studio 15 in Carmel’s Arts and Design District. In that location, the troupe succeeds Carmel Repertory Theatre, which has disbanded.

A retired postal worker long active in community theater, Klingenmeier has a stage back-

ground stemming from his college years in California. He is no stranger to professional theater, but when he wanted to focus on his family years ago, he took 13 years off from the stage. Normally, one directing assignment and one acting gig annually worked best for him when he held a job as a letter carrier in Noblesville.

His first stage appearance after moving to the Indianapolis area came with “Shadowlands” at the Edyvean Repertory Theatre (now defunct) about 20 years ago. His local directing involve-

ment began in 1997, directing “Butterflies Are Free” in Westfield.

When he turned 65 a year ago, “I decided to stop striving,” he said. He wanted to step aside from having the same kind of intensity he was used to summoning as an actor, so discontinued working with an agent. Along the way, he prepared to stop directing as well.

“I’m rounding off this part of my life,” he said in an interview. “Directing is a heavy load,” often increased in community theater by several other responsibilities a production’s director needs to take on. Klingenmeier has designed and built sets, for example, and for “Art” designed the poster and is handling publicity.

He is remaining active in performing arts by shifting his skills to directing, producing and writing videos for the Indiana University Dental School. The continuing series focuses on ethical dilemmas in dentistry, and his schedule includes seven more before the series is complete.

This has given Klingenmeier stimulating work he can sink his teeth into, so to speak. But the siren call of live theater may still attract him, he concedes.

“I will be acting more in the future if I read a play that grabs me,” he promised.

Endurance House now open

Source: BottomLine.com

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com Endurance House Fishers opened its doors on Feb. 20. Located at 9778 East 116th St., the store is nestled between LA Fitness and Fresh Market.

Franchise owner Jay Miller wanted to help people get new biz active. “I started running to stay in shape. And that running turned into doing triathlons. I had a passion for it,” said Miller. Looking for a business, Miller fell in love with the Endurance House concept.

“I thought that Indy needed a new multisport sports store. When you train for an Iron Man race, you have a whole team who supports you.

Endurance House has that same concept,” he said.

Miller opened Endurance House Zionsville last month, but thought that Fishers was also a good fit. “Both are great communities. In Fishers, you have all the paths and easy access to great cycling areas. It’s just a good fit. It’s a healthy community and people want to get out and do things,” he said.

According to Miller, Endurance House is for athletes of all levels. “The staff is trained to help everyone from first-time 5K runners to Iron Man competitors. I never want anyone to feel intimidated,” said Miller.

Runners can get a free personalized movement profile. An Endurance House consultant will discuss any past injuries, assess movement and present the customer with equipment that matches the profile. Bike fittings are also available. Each bike fitting session begins with a verbal consultation, so the bike fitter can understand riding patterns. Cleat and seat adjustments help to maximize comfort and reduce injury.

The store also carries a wide range of apparel and nutritional needs for athletes.

“The big advantage is that we have everything in one store. We have this one location that has everything,” said Miller.

‘Should like’ or ‘would like’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “I enjoy your column very much in Current in Carmel. Is it ungrammatical to use the word ‘would’ in the grammar guy phrase, ‘I would like to…?’

Everyone says that but I have been told that such is redundant; rather, one should use ‘should’ instead of ‘would’ in the phrase if you include ‘like.’” – (Clyde Crockett, Carmel) Answer: That’s an interesting question, Clyde.

It’s got a very Tolkien-esque sound to it, does it not?

In the wake of the Brian Williams scandal, I should perhaps come clean right off the bat and say the Tolkien association comes from searching “I should like” and finding nothing but “Fellowship of the Ring” quotes for pages. You’ll recognize Bilbo Baggins’ famous farewell speech: “I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

Anyway, I digress.

Tolkien was an Oxford man through and through, so it seems only right I look to the Oxford English Dictionary for some clarification on

this one. Unfortunately, it’s of two minds.

Acknowledging confusion of the very sort you’re asking about, Oxford says this: “The traditional rule is that ‘should’ is used with first person pronouns (I and we) and ‘would’ is used with second and third persons (you, he, she, it, they).

That would all be nice and tidy, except even Oxford admits no one adheres to that anymore.

The Oxford Learner’s Dictionary has this to say on the matter: “In modern English, the traditional difference between ‘should’ and ‘would’ in reported sentences, conditions, requests, etc. has disappeared and ‘should’ is not used very much at all.”

My feeling is the same as yours – everyone says “I would like...” these days. Save your “should likes” for Hobbit holes and heated arguments about which Beatles album is the best.

(It’s the White Album – and don’t even bother arguing that it’s “Sgt. Pepper’s.” I won’t hear of it.)

DISPATCHES Clean mirrors correctly – Here’s the best way to get that mirror streak free. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and warm water in a bowl. Scrunch up a piece of newspaper, dip it in the mixture shake off the excess, and wipe the mirror with the moistened newspaper. Then buff the mirror dry with a soft cloth, paper towel or dry newspaper. HouseholdMagicDailyTips.com To prevent onion breath – Eat side dishes rich in parsley, mustard seeds or fennel, which can dilute the sulfur by-products in onions. After eating onions, chew sugarless gum—especially strawberry flavor, which raises saliva production more than other flavors. Saliva helps dilute the sulfur-containing compounds. - HouseholdMagicDailyTips.com To brighten whites – Fill a sink with warm water, and add one-quarter cup of powdered automatic dishwasher detergent.

St. George: origins of an icon Commentary by Don Knebel

Seal Cove is a throwback horror story with just the right mix of contemporary humor, smarts, and monster gore. It’s an engaging novel that will have enthusiastic readers saying, “Finally, a horror story void of vampires, werewolves, or zombies!”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Available in paperback at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

www.divittowrites.com

The Cappadocia region of central Turkey, home to Christian communities since the second century, includes dozens of churches travel carved inside the area’s unique volcanic rock formations. An eleventh century fresco in one church honored St. George, a favorite son, and originated an iconic image seen in churches around the world.

St. George was apparently born in about 275 A.D. in Lydda, Palestine, where his Cappadocian father had met his mother while serving in the Roman army. George, raised a Christian, became an officer in the military guard of Emperor Diocletian. In 303, Diocletian ordered his officers to repudiate Christianity or face death. When George refused to renounce his beliefs, he was tortured and then beheaded. Emperor Constantine, who legalized Christianity in 312, reportedly ordered a church built in Lydda to honor George, who became a saint in 494. Over time, St. George became associated with a medieval legend in which a maiden-devouring dragon terrorized a pagan village. As the story went, George slew the dragon and the grateful villagers all converted to Christianity.

In the 11th century, numerous Byzantine churches were built within the soft, cone-shaped rocks of Cappadocia. Frescoes, still colorful because of the absence of direct sunlight, decorated many of them. One fresco on a curved wall in the so-called

Eleventh century Cappadocian fresco of St. George. (Photo by Don Knebel)

“Snake Church” (Yılanlı Kilise) honors St. George, whose father was raised nearby. The fresco portrays a haloed and armored George, sitting astride a festooned white horse and gouging a snakelike dragon with his lance. St. George is accompanied in the fresco, perhaps the earliest illustration of the legend, by St. Theodore of Amasea, a less well-known Christian martyr also associated with dragon slaying. Crusaders passing through Cappadocia took the story of St. George and the dragon back to Europe, with the dragon often assumed to represent Satan.

The image in Cappadocia’s Snake Church of a

battle-bedecked St. George, atop a white horse and killing a dragon with a lance, inspired countless imitations and became a familiar icon in Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches.

The Göreme Open Air Museum, which includes the Snake Church, became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984.

LifeGuard Carpeting means heavy amounts of liquid are unable to soak through. (Submitted photo)

Shaw LifeGuard carpeting stain-proof Commentary by David Decker So, you’ve decided to renovate your home and install some new carpeting. There’s a lot to consider in terms of construction, indoors material and functionality. Where should you begin? Well, one of the biggest drawbacks of carpeting is the fact that stains and spills can cause permanent damage to the carpet or to the cushion underneath.

So, if you’re currently sharing a home with pets, children or housemates that are accident prone, a stain-proof carpet option may be worth a look.

Stain-proof carpet is specially made carpet that repels dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). Generally, this is achieved by treating the carpet with some kind of topical chemical coating. At the Affordable Companies, we are always on the lookout for standout products to spotlight and recommend to our clients.

Recently, Shaw Floors have debuted a new stainproof carpet called LifeGuard, which features an innovative liquid-blocking design. Many stainproof carpets come with a chemical coating that protects the fibers of the carpet from liquids, dirt and other spills. However, those liquids and spills can quickly soak through the carpet where they find a permanent home in the carpet cushion.

Carpets treated with Shaw’s LifeGuard system have a built-in barrier that also shields the back-

ing or cushion as well.

With LifeGuard, even heavy amounts of liquid are unable to soak through and cause damage to your padding or subfloor. This means you will not have to worry about unwanted odors from mildew or pet accidents permeating through your carpeting. And the added layer of protection in the backing means that it will not wear down like carpets only treated topically.

Installing the new carpet is a fairly simple process, because the carpet is more flexible than other models. This makes it easier to manipulate, stretch, trim and slide into place. Additionally, cold temperatures will not affect the installation process, which is good news during these chilly winter days.

Replacing your flooring is a savvy way to add value to your home, especially when you select a durable option like stain-proof carpeting. See for yourself. Visit youtu.be/PQJ9RBOI_gM to see a video of the LifeGuard carpeting in action. Products will be hitting stores soon.
