Family owned karate studio opens

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com

Parents interested in an interactive class that teaches kids self-control, discipline and self-defense in a fun environment, may want now open to check out Adamson’s Karate Studios.

The newly opened studio, near the intersection of 116th Street and Allisonville Road, is family owned and started four decades ago in Carmel by Douglas and Janice Adamson. Their children, Paul, Peter, Ryan, and John, took an interest in karate that has lasted throughout their lives. Paul opened the Fishers location; this is the family’s eighth studio. Other locations include Zionsville, Noblesville, Avon and Brownsburg.

“We feel our program is a good fit for Fishers families who want their children to learn self-control, exercise and self-defense,” Paul said. “It’s a great confidence booster, too. Our kids learn from day one to be connected to who’s around them.”

Adamson’s Karate has classes for children ages 7 and up that often include families who enjoy training together. There are other classes separately for men

and women, and for kids age 4, 5 and 6 called Mighty Mites.

As well, the studio offers competition training for those who want to excel in local, national and international tournaments. Karate trainers, who recently performed in the 22nd Annual Karate World Championships in Germany, teach kids “about building excellence, connection and respect,” Paul said.

Kids also have fun. One of the most popular events that the studio hosts, is an annual summer camp with obstacle courses, a Ninja trail, and a game of trivia. The kids blast each other with water guns if someone answers incorrectly.

“People sneak out of trees and throw flour-filled socks,” Paul added.

Adamson’s Karate also offers topical seminars, a parents’ night out, and tournaments for all skill levels.

Anyone is invited for a complimentary class.

For more information about Adamson’s Karate visit www.AdamsonKarate.com or call 317-913-9113.

The studio is at 7239 Fishers Landing Dr.

Ryan Stone (Bullock) and George Clooney are the only two left alive when their shuttle and the telescope are destroyed, and must make a desperate attempt to reach a nearby station before it, too, is turned to fragments.

Train station project passes

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com

A $28 million mixed-use redevelopment project at the site of the Fishers Train Station was passed last week by Fishers Town development Council by 5-2. However, the plan was met with opposition from the majority of Fishers residents that came to voice their opinions at the meeting.

The developer chosen, Indianapolis-based Loftus Robinson, will pick up $18.5 million of the tab, with the Town of Fishers donating no more than $9.5 million.

Commercial tenants will take up 33,000 square feet, and 120 residential apartments starting with 1,000 square feet will cost residents approximately $1,200 per month. Parking spaces will accommodate 400 vehicles.

The town’s goal in creating recent developmental projects is to attract new businesses and professionals for a vibrant community with an attractive town. (In 2012, CNN’s Money Magazine rated Fishers as a top town in which to live, however, it cited “lack of charm” as one of the town’s downsides.)

Opponents of the project, including resident, attorney and democratic candidate for Fishers City Council, Greg Purvis, spoke of the 18-year-old train station as a “historic icon,” which prompted a comical response from Pete Peterson, Fishers City Council’s vice president, of a pair of “antiques” he owns that are older than the train station.

“Are my work shoes historic because of their age?” he asked.

Other residents, including Allen Ray Davidson, a Democrat running for Congress, voiced their concerns about other development projects in the town taking place at the same time, and the unknown success of these projects.

“In my opinion, the train station upgrade should be delayed until the Nickel Plate Depot is up and running and can be proved economically viable in the interest to Fishers,” he said.

MaryEllen Smith, a resident who lives on 116th Street, shared her fears of Fishers turning into another congested “Carmel.”

“This is getting to be a nightmare,” she said of the several development projects downtown happening at once. “I’m very concerned about the traffic. It’s already terrible.”

Construction of the 3 ½ acre site will begin this summer and finish next year.

Fishers residents serve as interns news@currentinfishers.com Two Fishers residents, Jeremy Hoffman and Chelsea Shelburne, are serving as interns for the Indiana Senate Majority government Caucus during the 2014 legislative session.

Hoffman is the son of Gleda Hoffman. He is a graduate of Noblesville High School and is currently in his second year at Indiana University’s Robert H. McKinney School of Law. As a legal intern, Hoffman conducts legal research for constituents and senators, and reviews and summarizes committee reports and amendments for the Majority caucus.

Shelburne is the daughter of April and Brent Shelburne. She is a graduate of Hamilton Southeastern High School and is also a second-year law student at IU’s McKinney School of Law. Shelburne is interning for State Sen. Luke Kenley, a Republican from Noblesville.

As a legislative intern, Shelburne assists with constituent correspondence through phone calls, letters and emails and helps staff Senate committees and floor proceedings.

Senate Majority interns work through the duration of the legislative session, which is scheduled to end by March 14.

Senator Jim Merritt, a Republican from Indianapolis, said that the internship program, which has been ongoing since the ‘60s and ‘70s, has produced successful political figures, including Indiana Republican Senator David Ford, who passed away in 2008.

“We compete for the very best students,” Merritt said.

New Executive Director at Meadow Brook – Spectrum Retirement Communities would like to announce Edna Domingo as the Executive Director at Meadow Brook Senior Living. Domingo possesses more than 14 years of experience in senior living; she brings quality care and service to her residents. Meadow Brook Senior Living is slated to open summer 2014.

Life like a waiting room

Commentary by Mike Colaw

Today I sat in a hospital waiting room with one of my best friends.

It’s amazing how just Spirituality sitting can be exhausting.

We were waiting on an MRI and it became really clear in the next few hours we would experience deep relief or prepare for battle. Don’t you love waiting rooms? Honestly I am not much for emotions, at least the tearyeyed kind, yet I found myself fighting back tears a few times over the last few days. Isn’t it amazing how you can go from one type of busy to a complete other? Or how fast everything changes? The last few days have been filled with listening to doctors asses symptoms and progress the diagnostic road. With every test it became more and more clear this wasn’t going to be a simple fix. Honestly, I tried a few different ways to help: first, to talk openly about it; then I did my best to distract from the situation with lighter talk, but nothing could remove the weight in these waiting rooms.

How do you deal with situations like this?

Honestly, no amount of education or understanding removes the anxiety completely. No distraction fully turns your attention, not for long at least. What gives you strength in those difficult

seasons of life? What advice would you give to someone who is stuck in the waiting room?

You know, life is a kind of a waiting room. The reality is, we all will face the unknown at some point. We will all be in the waiting room. In many conversations I have found that eventually most of us land in two categories: those who work really hard to ignore the questions of life and those who work really hard to figure them out.

There is an obscure passage I have studied and taught on. Isaiah 26:3 states that, “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Sometimes when I read passages like this I think, “Yeah, if only it were that easy.” Sometimes the leap from head to heart feels like a million miles. Some grab for a bottle, others grab for a book, but we are all looking for a way to bring peace to what we already think we know. How would you encourage those in the waiting room?

I would love to hear your thoughts! You can email me at justthink@luke117.com Mike Colaw is the director of ministries at Trinity Church. You may email him at justthink@ luke117.com.

New fitness center emerges

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com A new, one-of-a-kind fitness club that specializes in a full body transformation in 90 days has opened its doors in Fishers. now open RevolutionX Studio is the brainchild of local residents, Jenny and Chris Swisher, both 30, who decided to open a fitness center based on the popular DVD workout series, P90X, for high-intensity workouts.

RevolutionX also offers classes including Insanity, a maximum interval workout that burns up to 1,000 per class, in addition to 5k distance training and yoga.

Jenny and Chris wanted to open a studio after they began seeing success in their own weight loss and resolution of health problems as a result of using the DVD series. Three years ago, the couple weighed themselves around the holidays and were astonished to discover that they had each gained 30 pounds.

Jenny had also been struggling with migraines for most of her life. The fluorescent lights overheard as she worked in a cubicle didn’t help her either. She tried everything from prescription medication to neck surgeries, but to no avail.

After she and Chris both lost their desired weight, she discovered she lost her migraines as well.

Jenny was so inspired that she decided to ditch the corporate world, received her personal training certifications and began encouraging and giving advice others to others trying to lose weight through Facebook. However, she became bored with staying home all day and evening and wanted to get out of the house. In October last year, Jenny and Chris, a track coach for Hamilton Southeastern Schools, officially opened RevolutionX. Jenny said she enjoys the personal interaction with those she leads in classes.

“I say that everyone has their inner athlete,” she said. “By sharing my story and my belief in them, they can do (what I did to lose weight).”

Mom and I have always been close.

Wellbrooke helps us stay that way.

Local residents Jenny and Chris Swisher opened RevolutionX in Fishers. The fitness center specializes in full body transformation in 90 days. (Photo

by Nancy Edwards.)

“It doesn’t matter what ailment you have. Their fitness level and mental focus has improved.”

The fitness center’s class size is limited to eight to 10 people for a more personal approach.

There is often a mix between those who have been seriously working out for years and those who have never exercised before and look for encouragemrnt.

“It’s been so cool to watch the coaching happen (between members),” Jenny said, adding that some newbies to the fitness world at first wonder, “Can I do this?” to feeling more confident in themselves.

RevolutionX is at 12800 Ford Drive. For more information, go to http://revolutionxstudio.com.

That’s particularly Edward Fry, M.D. true becuase the public, especially compared to conditions like cancer, often overlooks the dangers presented by heart disease. In fact, heart disease is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined.

Like cancer, heart disease is a term that covers a variety of different conditions.

Most people connect it with coronary artery disease, but it also encompasses problems ranging from congestive heart failure to atrial fibrillation (cardiac arrhythmia). With an aging population, the incidence of heart disease is increasing as well. When you include conditions such as hypertension, you have an environment where approximately one out of every three people is affected by some form of heart disease.

At St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, we provide outstanding access to cardiovascular services, whether that covers primary care, consultations with specialists, or the latest diagnostic technologies, such as echocardiography, stress testing, nuclear imaging and CT scanning. Our affiliation with St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana means patients always receive top care from highly skilled cardiologists.

The level of technology available in cardiovascular medicine is truly amazing.

But the latest in high-tech shouldn’t distract from the fact that the essentials of heart health still start with the basics of knowing your risks and learning how to manage them.

The first step is always to have an assessment with your primary care physician about of the various risk factors for heart disease. This includes family history, weight, cholesterol, conditions such as obesity or diabetes, and other factors. Then, based on your risk profile, your primary care provider may recommend lifestyle changes or medication to reduce those risks; testing to further identify those risks, such as certain imaging tests (coronary calcium scoring, stress testing, etc.); or referral to a cardiologist for further evaluation.

St.Vincent Health is a proud supporter of American Heart Month and the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign, now in its 10th successful year.

A good way to celebrate American Heart Month is to talk to your primary care physician about your possible risk factors for heart disease. When you know your risks, you’ll know the next steps you can take to keep your heart happy and healthy for years to come.

Talk to your physician to find out if a HeartScan is right for you. To schedule a HeartScan at St.Vincent Fishers Hospital, just call 866-432-4457. And learn more at BestHeartCare.com.

“Trust your heart to Indiana’s best heart program.”

Dr. Christopher Hollon Cardiologist

Excellent heart care can change and save lives. Our highly-skilled cardiologists are dedicated to providing convenient cardiovascular services to our community. And by being a part of St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana means our patients always receive the Best Heart Care in Indiana. Period.

Residents hosts LEGO event news@currentinfishers.com

Kids of all ages who have played with LEGOs at some point during their lives will appreciate the upcoming annual Brickfundraiser world, organized by Fishers residents, Bryan and Kathie Bonahoom.

“The LEGO brick is widely recognized as one of the most educational toys in the world,” Bryan, 48, stated. “Kids of all ages can witness an incredible variety of ways to use the brick for art and engineering applications.”

The event, to be held at the Ag/Hort building at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, will span 45,000 square feet, plenty of space for sprawling LEGO displays, interactive activities and vendors.

This year, interactive displays will include a LEGO “monster truck” that kids get to drive around a course with a remote control, a robot that draws with a Sharpie, and a 13 x 15 ft. layout of scenes plus characters from the movie currently being shown in theatres, “The Lego Movie.”

There will also be fun educational displays such as a railroad with a hide-and-seek game that includes historical questions.

“Every year Brickworld gets more enjoyable to watch. Now it’s just amazing,” Bryan said.

At Brickworld, kids of all ages can witness a variety of ways to use the brick for art and engineering applications.

“Using the LEGO brick exercises creativity, engineering skills and hand-eye coordination,” Bryan stated.

The Science, Technology, Engineering, and

If you go Brickworld Indy will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 8 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 9, at the State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. General admission tickets are $9; kids under 3 are free. Active duty and reserve service members and first responders will receive a discounted $6 ticket (military / first responder identification required). Tickets are available at the door and online at http://www.brickworld.us/indy.

Math educational value of the brick is captured

by Cummins Inc. (a Brickworld sponsor) in their interactive engine build. Cummins uses a LEGO model of their QSK-95 Hedgehog as a tool to discuss engines and engineering with kids and adults around the country.

Brickworld is also a supporter of FIRST® LEGO League, a robotics competition for junior high aged kids.

“We are working with the not for profit organization to include a demonstration area at Brickworld Indy,” Bryan stated.

Bryan’s favorite display he’s seen at a Brickworld event is of a big city layout with a Dunkin’ Donuts across the street from a Krispy Kreme.

There is a car crash between the donut shops, complete with police officers eating donuts.

These are the types of scenes that inspire his imagination.

“At every event, someone creates something where I go ‘wow, that’s just awesome,’” he said.

“Why didn’t I think of that?’”

What is Fishers?

Our town attracts residents for safety, redevelopment and school system

By Dawn Pearson • news@currentinfishers.com Another accolade recently was bestowed on Fishers.

Earlier this month, Locacover story tion Inc. named Fishers as one of the safest cities in America to live.

NeighborhoodScout.com publishes, for Location Inc., a list of the top 100 safest cities, calculated on cities with “25,000 or more population, and based on the total number of crimes per 1,000 residents. Crimes include burglary, larcenytheft, motor vehicle theft, murder, forcible rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault,” per their website.

Fishers ranked 36th Safest City in America to live. This year Fishers was one of only two cities, in Indiana, to achieve this status. For a complete list of the 2014 Top 100 Safest Cities in America please visit http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ neighborhoods/crime-rates/top100safest/.

Fishers Police Chief George Kehl stated, “We are excited and honored to once again be named one of the safest cities in America. “This award is a direct reflection of the active partnership between the dedicated men and women of the Fishers Police Dept. and the residents they serve.”

Michael Colby, Fisher Town Council representative in District 2, has lived and worked in Fishers since 1986 and attributes the town’s safety and appeal to its public safety, the employees and new initiatives Colby in crime.

“Obviously the police department and the work they do, is mostly responsible for this honor,” Colby said. “We’ve initiated an intelligence unit with an investigations division. They work with surrounding jurisdictions on crime preventions and keeping each other informed and it is working.”

Cooperation is the key

“We have about 107 police officers, and when we include a citizen’s component, neighbor community watch program, the success is limited to the participation of the community,” Colby said.

“We get tips from some citizens that observe odd people or unusual vehicles, so it’s a great co-op effort.”

According to Colby the Fishers Police Dept. is one of the few accredited police departments in the state. “They were accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies in 2000 and have earned four accredited awards since then.”

Fishers ranked 36th Safest City in America to live. This year Fishers was one of only two cities, in Indiana, to achieve this status. There is also a neighborhood crime watch program with 80 active residents. (Submitted Photo.)

Accolades are not new to Fishers. Doris Martinez posted on the Money magazine CNN website, “Fishers is no stranger to the Best Places list, and it’s easy to see why. It has reasonably priced homes, one of the top school systems in the state, and seamless access to downtown Indianapolis (about a 30-minute drive). For fun, there are 451 acres of parks, summer music festivals, and the annual Flavor of Fishers Festival, where local restaurants showcase their best dishes. While the charm factor is a little lacking, Fishers is in the process of redeveloping its downtown area. (Read more at http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/ best-places/2012/snapshots/PL1823278.html) And Pete Peterson, Town Councilman in District 1,, agreed. Peterson moved his family here for the schools and did not want to raise his two small children in Southern California.

“I moved here years ago from California, because I thought it was better for the family,” Peterson said. “The schools here are a huge appeal for new residents; they look at the graduation rates, number of grads going to college, and Peterson test scores and the allure of moving to Fishers is huge. It’s a great place to live and a good place to put our kids in school.”

Colby agreed with Hamilton Southeastern Schools as a draw to Fishers along with new developments.

“The appeal of Fishers is we have both a great police and fire department and it’s important we have strong public safety in general for the community,” Colby said. “But we have a wonderful parks and sports organization, operate various youth leagues, and our fields are in great shape.

“We are drastically changing the division,

creating a sense of place, not only to live and go to school, but work and play. By creating that sense of place, not only where they want to live, where we want to put our kids in school, but also work and play.”

Work and play…

The Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau likes the development happening in Fishers.

“We supported and applaud Fishers on its vision for the amphitheater and how it could serve as a hub for residents, as well as an attraction for visitors,” Brenda Myers, executive director of the Bureau stated.

Myers “Add to this the redevelopment of the whole Nickel Plate District to provide both work space as well as play space will be transformative. The emphasis on the arts will only enhance the area as a cultural destination.

“The additional biking and walking trails, and the connectivity that the Nickel Plate District is going to make throughout the downtown core, will make a huge difference in connecting the new city with visitors,” Myers said. “Having a vibrant downtown not only makes a city safer, it makes visitors feel comfortable exploring.”

Looking ahead…

“We are doing some economic development downtown and at The Depot through a public private partnership,” Colby said. “Trying to get the tax base more aligned, so tax burden doesn’t hit the residents, and our future is bright.”

And the future is going from a town to a city.

“Beginning Jan. 2, Fishers will become a second-class city,” Colby said. “Population helps designate a second-class city and we are growing and developing and moving in the right direc-

A $28 million project to redevelop the Fishers Train Station site, which will be developed by Loftus Robinson, include a 33,000 sq. ft., three-story office and retail building, a 400-space parking garage wrapped with luxury apartments and a train station pedestrian plaza. (Submitted Photo.)

Next phase of the Nickel Plate District…

At last Monday’s town council meeting, the next phase of the Nickel Plate District redevelopment was approved.

“The 21st century will belong to distinctive cities that create a diverse sense of place,” said John Weingardt, town council president. “The Nickel Plate District is a catalyst for attracting innovative businesses that maintain a dynamic economy, resulting in long-term sustainability for the Town of Fishers.”

The town’s details of the project, developed

by Loftus Robinson, include a 33,000 sq. ft., three-story office and retail building, a 400-space parking garage wrapped with luxury apartments and a train station pedestrian plaza. While the train platform, originally built in 1996, will remain intact, the project makes way for improved Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility and accommodates future mass transit plans.

“Fishers has long been attractive to our outof-area guests, whether at youth sports events, overnights at its excellent hotel properties or Conner Prairie — the new downtown hub will only add to an already great tourism destination,” Myers said.

FR O M T H E EDITOR Why is Fishers a great place to live?

Town to city: Stay engaged Joe Weingardt, president of the Fishers Town Council, was right on the money in saying last week that community engagement with transition from town to city in a little more than 10 months is critical. The comment was made at the State of the Town Address, the last such event in the town’s history.

We’re buoyed by his comment about development continuing unbridled. The activity Fishers is seeing now, with respect to development and redevelopment, is but a taste of what’s to come. We believe such projects will even more put Fishers on the map and make it a magnetic destination for relocating businesses. The schools are top flight, the amenities continue to grow, the retail sector is booming, and all of that adds up to make it a great place to live, work, play and raise a family.

A driving concern

Commentary by Terry Anker

Like many Americans, I spend way too much time in my car. Offices are scattered across a two county area and we have yet to fully adapt to video conferencing as an alternative to oldschool drive time. Certainly, face-to-face communication is superior to the over-the-wire kind, but it does demand more than a moment behind the wheel. Public transportation is big in some towns. And many boast of a highly developed private operation too. Cabs and companies like Uber meet the needs of commuters moving around without the benefit of a personal vehicle.

We residents of Central Indiana remain somewhat constrained in our options. So like so many of my fellow Hoosiers, I work to make the best of a suboptimal situation. During the drive time, I schedule return calls (yes, I use Bluetooth and take extra caution trying to restrict my calls to highway time) and plan ahead to have a problem that requires thought. With the radio switched off, the quiet allows for one to ponder in a way

that is nearly impossible in a busy office or home. But even with careful preparation, there are occasions during the week when the road and radio are my only compatriots.

Why is it that my regard for a cause is significantly reduced if the driver in front of me with a bumper sticker or two proclaiming to be a protagonist for the issue is a terrible driver? Why do we disdain people who drive erratically because they are: drinking hot coffee, eating a sandwich, talking on the phone, looking for something in the backseat, caring for a dog/child/stuffed animal, reading a book, putting on makeup, or just generally disinterested in the task (all things I’ve seen personally) – and yet why don’t we hold ourselves to the same standard?

Humor is also a way of saying something serious.

- T.S. Eliot

Our growing community is fabulous for several reasons: one reason is our distinction for one of the best places to live in 2012. Another is being awarded most recently for one of the safest places to live. The town, to become a second-class city next year, is also growing by leaps and bounds.

The new Nickel Plate District Amphitheatre has attracted 60,000 visitors to such events as free movies, concerts and holiday interests, including Halloween trick-or-treating and Christmas caroling and fascinating lights.

Biking and walking trails being developed will also enhance the experience residents have of living in a safe city. In addition, new parks are cropping up, inviting children to check out massive sledding hills, mountain bike and hiking trails, fishing ponds, tree houses and places to splash around.

Reasonably priced homes and the residence of one of the top school systems in the state are a huge draw for families, including Fishers Town Council Vice President Pete Peterson, who chose the area above his former residence in southern California.

Two new senior academies are currently under construction for FHS and HSEHS Schools.

Those building a new business without a permanent office space have the convenience of Launch Fishers, located in the downtown Fishers Library, to network and enjoy a cozy space with neighbors and a coffee bar.

Developmentally, residents can look forward to a new downtown featuring commercial space, restaurants and apartments. Several projects are currently under way, scheduled for completion next year.

Residents also will have their first mayor at the beginning of next year.

It’s no wonder Town Manager Scott Fadness called 2014 “a busy and exciting year.” I’m looking forward to witnessing the results.

Teenage sons: Sweet and sour Commentary by Danielle Wilson

My husband called the other day and asked, “Can I punch our 15-year-old son?” “Sure,” I replied. “Just don’t hit him in the humor face.” Of course, we were joking - no need to call CPS, fans - but honestly, teenage boys are a nightmare.

Take the aforementioned kid. He questions every single word Doo and I say, including but not limited to our tips for better organization and time management, our pleas for daily showering and deodorizing, and our advice for academic success through actual homework completion.

He never admits to wrongdoing of any kind. Ever.

And when asked to do something, anything, he whines as if being tortured. Can you really blame us for wanting to smack him upside the head?

True, he does have a sweet side (he gives awesome hugs and is very gentle with his young cousins), but his aptitude for tenderness and compassion is usually overshadowed by his propensity for butthole-ishness. Literally, his entire personality just revealed itself in the last halfhour as I was typing: He offered to play chess with his 12-year-old brother (sweet), but couldn’t resist dismissing the game and his opponent when, for the first time ever, he was forced to a draw (dork).

The saving grace is that he seems to act this

way only outside our humble abode. Teachers, grandparents and random adults find him polite, mature and genuinely likeable. Which is, I suppose, the way we want it. If he’s going to behave like an ass, we prefer he do so in private.

I’m not a teenage boy, nor have I ever been, but I just can’t understand why he finds it so hard to be pleasant with us, his adoring family. Of course, I’ve heard worse about teenage girls, of whom I have two looming, but those I can handle.

It’s this boy thing I don’t get. He is driving me bonkers with his disrespectful tone and arrogant manner. And punishments don’t seem to work for very long. Yes, he’ll be an angel while we hold his phone hostage; but a week later, he’ll be back to hotly debating the logic of the chore chart or his bedtime on “Walking Dead” night.

Clearly a mother’s love is an amazing thing.

The fact that I still kind of like my teenager says a lot about my patience. But I must admit I found Doo’s phone call hilarious and somewhat comforting. It’s not just I who thinks teenage boys are a nightmare!

Peace out.

Wait for it … no really, wait for it Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

As a column writer, I can share my real-life experiences with countless people. This is much more rewarding than when I try humor to tell a story firsthand to friends.

Here’s an example of something that happened the other day.

I took my dog Toby for a walk and about a third of the way around the lake, he decided it was too cold and snowy, so he took off back to the shopping center where I had parked the car.

A woman walking out of Kroger, where I usually shop, said she saw my companion run inside the store when the automatic doors opened. I went to the service desk and told the lady that my dog was somewhere inside. She said, “Okay, I’ll make an announcement to see if we can locate him.”

Then she asked, “What kind of a dog is it?” This struck me as very funny. I guess they didn’t want to hand over the wrong dog.

In any case, this is the kind of story I love to repeat, so first I called my buddy Bob. He chuckled through the part about Toby running into a supermarket. “And listen to this,” I said, trumpeting the forthcoming hysterical ending, “the woman at the service desk wanted to know what breed he was before she got on the PA.” I waited for the laughter. But instead Bob said: “That’s odd. Do you think Toby knows he’s a beagle?”

HUH? What does that mean, Bob? I tried to explain the reason the last line was funny, but there was no point. Eager to share this whimsi-

cal tale with someone else, I called my friend and editor, Heidi. I knew she’d get a kick out of it.

“I was walking the dog around the lake yesterday…”

“You walked him near a lake? I hope you didn’t let Toby get too near the ice!”

“Okay, Heidi, but listen. So Toby is about 30 feet ahead of me and…

“What? You didn’t have him on a leash? Who walks a beagle without a leash?“Not the point of the story. So all of a sudden he takes off—” “So I walk up to the counter and tell the woman that my dog is loose in the store and I ask her to get on the PA system to see if we can locate him. You will never in a million years guess what the woman said to me before she made the announcement.”

“I assume she wanted to know what kind of dog it was.”

Dejected, I put down my phone and decided that I was only going to relate my future experiences through the written word where I can make my point clearly without being interrupted and losing my train of thought.

Hold on, there’s the phone. It’s Heidi. She wants to know why I prefer Kroger to Marsh.

The Temptations will bring their nostalgic array of soul music to the Palladium on Feb. 27 for a live performance. (Submitted photos)

Feb. 27, Mowtown icons wil be there

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Get ready, ‘cause here they come.

Surely there’s no better cure for the winter blues than a warm dose of soul. So music plan to get your groove on at the Palladium on Feb. 27 as the Temptations and the Four Tops roll into Carmel.

The Temptations are, as always, five singers strong, led by Otis Williams, who founded the group in 1961. They were among Motown’s musical trailblazers and their current lineup is still going strong.

Their first hit song, “The Way You Do the Things You Do” came a few years later, and their first number one hit, “My Girl,” came shortly after. Their songs, together with the music of the Beatles, changed the direction of the popular music of the 1960s.

In the years to come, Williams kept the group together and led an ever-rotating roster of singers to more hits, including “Get Ready, ‘Cause Here I Come,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and “I Wish it Would Rain.”

The modern-day Temptations are comprised of Williams, along with Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Joe Herndon and Bruce Williamson. As they celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first hit song, they have released a new album, appropriately

From left: The Four Tops current lineup includes Ronnie McNeir, Roquel Payton, Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir and Harold Bonhart.

titled, Still Here, which continues to offer their signature brand of silky-smooth harmonies and laid-back cool.

As if these five powerhouse vocalists with an amazing five-piece band aren’t enough to heat things up, the Temptations will be joined by another legendary group, The Four Tops.

According to John Hughey, spokesman for the Center for the Performing Arts, the two groups started touring together in 2007 and have been a very popular combination.

The Four Tops also got their start right in the ’60s, crafting songs with similar smooth harmonies, and adding a polished, choreographed sheen to the Detroit street corner doo-wop

music of their youth. Their hits included “I Can’t Help Myself,” “Baby, I Need Your Lovin’” and “Reach Out (I’ll Be There.”)

The original Four Tops sang together from 1953 through 1997 until Lawrence Payton died.

The group has continued with several personnel replacements, including Payton’s son, Roquel.

Abdul “Duke” Fakir is the only original surviving member.

“All through high school and college, there were a lot of dances centered around Motown music,” said Randy Sorrell, who is attending the concert with his wife Kim. “When ‘Get Ready’ started to play, the whole dance floor filled up and every single person was singing along. It just doesn’t get any better than that. The music is timeless; still relevant today.”

“We saw Smoky Robinson when he was at the Palladium, and it was impossible to stay in your seat,” Sorrell continued. “I imagine this night will be much the same. We can’t wait. We’ll start our night at divvy, then hit the show, and then see where the night takes us after that!”

Community named Healthiest 100 editorial@youarecurrent.com Healthiest Employers, the leader in employee health analytics, best practices and benchmark data, has announced the induction of Community Health Network into the 2014 Healthiest 100 achievement Workplaces in America. Every one of these employers has achieved remarkable and sustainable success through a broad range of corporate wellness programs and employee wellness initiatives.

Community Health Network attained this recognition as the culmination of a year-long, highly selective two-stage assessment process spanning the United States—to include companies of all sizes from all regions and industries.

“Community’s mission is to enhance the health and well-being of those we serve,” stated Steve Zetzl, vice president of Community Employer Health. “We believe a critical step in that process is to enhance the health and well-being of our own employees. From health screenings and employee fitness centers, to digital coaching, cooking demonstrations, employee health centers and activity challenges, we are committed to providing a variety of programs, tools and incentives to help our employees achieve and maintain the highest level of health possible.”

These state and national awards recognize employers who have comprehensively incorporated the most effective employee wellness programs and practices. The Healthiest 100 have successfully implemented practical, effective and continuously improving corporate wellness strategies for creating a sustainably healthy workplace.

Rod Reasen II, president of Healthiest Employers, stated, “This highly selective award recognizes employers who demonstrate exceptional leadership in using wellness as a strategy to drive workplace productivity, employee health, and community wellbeing. As these employers demonstrate, every organization has a path to the Healthiest 100, regardless of size, industry or geography.”

dispatches Dangers of smartphones – Did you know that excessive use of your cell phone can cause your body harm? Using your smartphone after 9 p.m. can hinder melatonin, the chemical that provides sleep, from the blue light emitted from phones. Using your phone constantly to play games, surf the Internet or watch movies can also lead to a much more sedentary lifestyle than those who spend 90 minutes or less daily on their phones. Keep your phone in your pocket while crossing the street: pedestrians face a higher risk of harm by focusing their attention on their phones while walking by either being struck by a car, or falling off walkways or bridges.

What really lowers cholesterol?

When it comes to lowering your LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, reach for barley. It has been shown to reduce cholesterol the most. The wholegrain is good in soup or as a side dish. Flaxseed has also been shown to lower blood cholesterol, as well as phytosterols, which are found in some types or margarine. www.webmd.com Can Vitamin C ward off a stroke? – French researchers have found that those deficient in vitamin C may be at a greater risk of bleeding in the brain, also known as hemorrhagic stroke. Although only 15 percent of strokes are hemorrhagic, they are typically deadlier than ischemic strokes, which occur when the blood vessel in the brain is blocked. www.webmd.com

Home sales to surge after thaw Commentary by Jim Litten

• Buyers in Fishers are noticing fewer options. Last month, 107 homes were available for sale, while 149 homes were on the market in January 2013.

• Home sales are off to a sluggish start. In Fishers, 28 homes sold in January 2014, down 48.1 percent compared to January 2013. Similarly, home sales declined 31 percent across central Indiana.

The record snowfall and cold temperatures certainly had an impact on home sales in January. However, as soon as we get moderation in the weather, I’m confident sales will break loose.

With home prices reaching $159,391 in January 2014, home sales prices are up 8.6 percent compared to January 2013. real estate Six of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks – including Hamilton County – experienced slightly higher home sales prices than in January 2013. In Hamilton County, January home prices averaged $255,295, up 13.9 percent over January 2013.

• In Fishers, home sellers continue to benefit from increasing prices. Last month, the average sales price was $187,720, up 23.8 percent from January 2013.

• As the market stabilizes, homes are being purchased at a faster rate. In January 2014, homes in Fishers stayed on the market an average of 73 days, which is 24 fewer days compared to January 2013.

Jim Litten is the president of F.C. Tucker Company. Comment on this article by e-mailing to editorial@ youarecurrent.com.

Building permit numbers dip slightly “The recent weather has crippled our industry for the past four to six weeks, and I am not surprised to see the slight dip. My hope is that the weather subsides quickly and we can begin to see the steady increases market analysts are predicting.”

In central Indiana, the permits issued through January 2014 have created a total economic impact of $53.7 million in local income, $12.2 million in local taxes, and 910 local jobs, year-to-date.

IRS simplifies home-office deduction – This year's federal income-tax forms include an optional — and simpler — new method to claim this deduction. In the past, people had to fill out a lengthy form and master complex instructions that discouraged some people even from trying. Under the optional new method, people can claim $5 per square foot of space that meets the definition of a qualified home office up to a maximum of 300 square feet. Thus, the maximum amount that can be deducted using this method is $1,500. SOURCE: The Wall Street Journal

Duke Energy reducing power plant portfolio - Duke Energy has initiated a strategic process to exit its Midwest commercial generation business, which includes ownership interests in 13 power plants. None of the plants in question are in Indiana. The Midwest generation business includes 13 power plants with a total capacity of approximately 6,600 megawatts. These plants are owned or partially owned by Duke Energy Ohio and reported in the company’s Commercial Businesses unit. Eleven are located in Ohio, one is in Illinois and one in Pennsylvania. As a result of this announcement, the company will take an estimated pre-tax impairment charge of $1 to $2 billion in the first quarter of 2014. This impairment will be treated as a special item and excluded from Duke Energy’s adjusted diluted earnings per share results.

Delhi’s Tower of Destruction Commentary by Don Knebel

The Qutb Minar complex in Delhi is one of India’s top attractions, sometimes outdrawing the Taj Mahal. Visitors marvel at travel the tallest, all-brick tower in the world, completed almost 650 years ago, and at an unpainted iron pillar that has not rusted for almost 1700 years.

The Qutb Minar complex is named for Qutb al-Din Aybak, a slave turned general from Afghanistan. He conquered northern India in 1192, destroying at least 27 Hindu and Jain temples in the process. In 1206, Qutb al-Din Aybak declared himself Sultan of Delhi and began building a brick victory tower, incorporating rubble from the demolished temples. When he fell from his polo horse and died in 1210, his successors continued his work. The fluted sandstone tower, adorned with statements from the Quran, finished in 1368, at a height of 238 ft, is nearly 50 feet higher than the contemporaneously constructed tower in Pisa, Italy. With 379 internal steps and 5 circular balconies, Qutb Minar has become a symbol of Delhi.

As the Muslim conquerors under Qutb al-Din Aybak demolished the temples at the site on which they later built Qutb Minar, they intentionally spared a 22 ft tall iron pillar erected in the fourth century to honor Vishnu, a Hindu god.

They spared the 16.4 in diameter pillar because of its apparently magical ability to resist rust, a property scientists now attribute to phosphorus

Wake, waken, awake and awaken Commentary by Jordan Fischer

I woke up this morning ready to tackle a thorny grammar issue – although maybe I wakened this morning. Ungrammar guy less I awoke. Perhaps I awakened?

I came across this quandary last week. I’d be lying if I said I was immediately 100 percent conQutb Minar Complex in Delhi, India (Photo by Don Knebel) fident about which word I needed. All four words added by Hindu metallurgists. The rust-free iron and their various conjugates have roughly the pillar is so unusual, people still believe their same meaning: to stop being asleep. Their uswishes will be granted if they can encircle the ages, though, can be much more nuanced. pillar with their arms stretched behind their I was delighted to find that I wasn’t the only backs. A fence now protects the pillar from pilperson struggling with these verbs. As TheFreegrims seeking to improve their luck.

Dictionary.com writes, “The pairs wake, waken The beauty and continued existence of Qutb and awake, awaken have formed a bewildering Minar are tributes to its Muslim designers. The array since the Middle English period. All four nearby iron pillar reflects the genius of Hindu words have similar meanings, though there are metallurgists. A visit to the Qutb Minar complex some differences in use.” reminds us that many cultures have produced Since I only have a limited amount of space works of lasting importance. A visit also prohere, I will focus on the most common of the vides an opportunity to bemoan that members of four – “to wake.” The others may get short thrift. religious traditions still show superiority of their The primary use of “to wake” is as an intransifaiths by destroying the holy places of those tive verb (a verb with no direct object) meanwith different beliefs. ing “to cease to sleep.” I woke up. She wakes early. Upon waking, I smelled breakfast cooking downstairs.

Don Knebel is a local resident who “To wake” can also be used transitively (e.g., works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit currentzi“The thunderstorm woke me up”). This is where onsville.com. You may contact him things get muddled. All four words can be used at news@currentzionsville.com transitively to mean “to rouse (someone/some-

thing) from sleep.” All four are more or less equally acceptable choices in most circumstances. To help you navigate them, here are a few bullet points: • Only “wake” and “waken,” and typically just “wake,” can be paired with the word “up,” as in, “The alarm woke me up at 6 a.m.”

• Although they are not exclusively figurative, “awake” and “awaken” are often used in that sense. E.g., “I awoke to the possibilities,” or “The national anthem awakened their inner patriot.”

• In American English at least, “awoke” seems to be used commonly instead of the past tense of “wake” (which can be both “woke” or “waked”) – but, again, never paired with “up.”

• As the Oxford Dictionary notes, “waken” and “awaken” are the most formal of the four words. Use them to seem fancy.

A final thought: To avoid confusion, it would be perfectly acceptable to mentally designate each of the words as either transitive or intransitive only. Or, you could avoid the issue altogether and simply never get out of bed again – at least not until spring, anyway.

CELEBRATING THE PERFORMING ARTS Saturday, March 1 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Commentary by Randy Sorrell Trends are like elephant bell-bottom pants, railroad tie bed edges and being a fruitarian. It seemed so vogue at the time … and I’m relieved there are few pictures docuIndoors menting those moments.

Principles and movements, conversely, remind us of Sean Connery’s black tux from his original James Bond movie or that classic black dress reserved in the back of your closet. Both remain considerably stylish and fashionably worn at the next Palladium event. Providing they fit … yet, another classic movement.

Both, trends and principles/movements, are relevant considerations for luxury outdoor living and thoughtful landscapes. We simply have to respect a few boundaries. Imagine Connery’s Goldfinger tux married with a bold tie or a pair or pressed jeans. That’s blending today’s trends with principles/movements. It works.

Over the next few months, lets consider several respected principles/movements and how they are relevant to today’s lifestyle. Take a peek at what we will explore: • QUALITY DESIGN … how to recognize it • MATERIALS … get “real” • FIRE & WATER … enough said • LANDSCAPES … the most important element • SHADE … cancer sucks • WATER CONSERVATION, POLLUTION, GLOBAL WARMING … sorry • DETAILING … the magic • TRENDS Let’s satisfy our confessed need to be popular and look at what’s hot and trendy for 2014 … established by the greatest trendsetters of our generation, the big box retailers. Sad, isn’t it?

Consider, however, that they’ve spent million$$$ and bet their stock price to get it right.

We see a few new exciting perennials and flowering shrubs (re-blooming variegated lilac anyone?) making it to market, vegetable/herb gardens galore, improved synthetic looking urns, retractable screened walls and fabric pergola roofs and finally… tasteful rugs and cushions that don’t fade overnight.

These thoughts are echoed in our project

How to incorporate natural stone Commentary by David Decker

It can take millions of years for certain stones to form in nature. Maybe it’s thanks to this extremely long construction Indoors process that natural stone has a classic, timeless look that continues to be popular in home design decade after decade. And because of this enduring popularity, you can rest assured that installing natural stone will increase the value of your home. Let’s investigate some creative ways to implement natural stone into your home décor.

As a building material, stone is inherently durable, long lasting and environmentally friendly, which is why it is ideal for high traffic areas or objects that need to endure temperatures, or contact with water. Because of their chemical properties, some stone options are far more durable than others. Limestone and marble are much more susceptible to damage than slate, granite or soapstone. You’ll need to be sure to properly seal and maintain the stone to ensure that is stays looking as beautiful as the day it was installed.

The most obvious and popular place to use natural stone is for countertops. Because many types of natural stone are heat resistant and scratch proof, it’s easy to see why this has become a popular choice for kitchen countertops.

However, you also could choose to install stone countertops in the bathroom or bar area.

Natural also requires very little maintenance, which is why it is the perfect type of flooring for high traffic areas. Stone flooring is easy to clean and won’t be worn down by heavy amounts of foot traffic. Consider installing stone flooring to add an elegant touch to entryways, bathrooms or kitchen floors.

Another great way to implement stone in your home is on wall backsplashes. Stone backsplashes can add color and texture to your kitchen or bathroom. With all of the many styles and colors to choose from, there’s something to match every home décor style. And backsplashes are a more cost effective way to incorporate stone into home décor since they require less material than countertops or flooring.

For homeowners looking for smaller scale

Spring has sprung.

How are you going to make the most of it?

2014

Stone is ideal for high traffic areas or objects that need to endure temperatures or contact with water like bathrooms. (Submitted photo)

home improvement projects, natural stone can also be implemented into home accent pieces.

Visualize gathering around a solid stone fireplace during the chilly winter months. Or enjoy relaxing in a bathtub with a natural stone frame. Natural stone can even be used as a top surface for a wooden table or office desk. The possibilities are endless.

When properly cared for, natural stone can last for decades. So take comfort in the fact that anything you invest in will be a long lasting addition to your home.
