Fishers High School hosts mental health program

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com On March 2, Fishers High School hosted Stand Up for Mental Health with Hope, Help and Community. The program, sponsored by Parents in Partnership and WELLNESS the Peyton Riekhof Foundation for Youth Hope, featured comedian and mental health activist Kevin Breel and a community panel of mental health experts and two local students.

After Mike Riekhof opened the presentation, City of Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness addressed the audience. Fadness announced community-wide mental health initiatives at his State of the City address.

“Our police department was called to a home or business to help an individual needing mental health assistance 157 times last year,” said Fadness. We can be a great city that helps wipe away the stigma of mental health.”

Guest speaker Kevin Breel, a speaker and comedian who has struggled with depression, returned for a second time.

He spoke to 1500 high school juniors during the school day, before participating in the panel. “It weighs on me just how many kids came up to me to say that they struggle with it (depression),” said Breel. “The fact that you are trying to change the conversation as a community is very special.”

In addition to Breel, the panel experts included Sheila Irick, MD, a psychiatrist at IU Health, Dawn Crossman a family therapist from Center for Hope, Chris Graves, guidance counselor and suicide prevention coordinator for the HSE school district, Lou Ann Lamaire-Pyle, from Aspire crisis center, HSE Resource Officer Alica Ahnert.

Ryan Altward of Young Life facilitated a Q & A session between panel members and the audience. Altward encouraged the audience to wade into the uncomfortable and share what they’ve experienced.

Irick said that parents often ask her to explain differences between typical teen behavior and signs of depression.

Dawn Crossman from Center for Hope discussed the relationship between teens who self-harm and suicide.

“Those who hurt themselves are at a higher risk for suicide,” said Crossman. She advised that concerned parents must be direct with their teens to help prevent suicide. “What parents want to ask is ‘Are you thinking about taking your own life?’ because students with depression and anxiety are more likely to get into recovery if they are confronted.”

Fadness wants comprehensive plan

What are your Spring plans?

By Justin Moran • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness spoke with Fishers residents Feb. 26 at Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, answering quesoutreach tions and discussing his desire for a comprehensive plan and vision for the fast-growing community. More than 50 locals were on hand to engage the mayor, who described the event as an effort to meet residents where they’re at.

Fadness said he wants to be accessible and available to talk about what’s going on in the city.

He began the night with a brief recap of his State of the City speech before fielding questions.

Topics of discussion varied from school funding and roadwork to the ash borer attacking thousands of the city’s trees.

Mayor Fadness laid out his first priority as working to change the state funding formula to boost school funding without raising taxes.

He also touched on a $30 to $35-million plan (two-thirds federally funded) to improve the road system over the next three to five years, again without raising taxes.

The program includes roundabouts on Cumberland Road at both 106th and 131st Streets, and widening 96th Street to four lanes from Cumberland to Lantern Road. The mayor sipped his Diet Coke in between questions, and the mood of the evening was positive, with the group breaking into applause multiple times throughout.

Warm weather is finally coming.

Economic development issues were passed on to Community Development Director Tom Dickey.

When it comes to bringing in growing businesses, he said, “We need a place where people want to be and live.”

Mayor Fadness agreed, citing that millennials look to establish a home before choosing where they’ll work.

There were a dozen city staff at the event, including booths manned by the Police and Fire Depts., and Parks & Recreation.

The only thing lacking was some more attendance and the mayor asked those coming to invite friends and neighbors back next time.

When life gives you Lemonade Day

By Zach Manges • news@currentinfishers.com

DESIGN & REMODELING SEMINARS

Lemonade Day Greater Indianapolis is celebrating its sixth year of refreshing citrusthemed events and youth diversion entrepreneurial initiatives on May 16th, and is bringing with it a slew of exciting additions.

John Wechsler, founder of the co-working startup space Launch Fishers, will serve as the Community Champion, a first for the event. He was selected for the position by Wechsler entrepreneur Scott Jones, who also introduced Lemonade Day to the city in 2010.

Wechsler’s seasoned guidance will be part of a greater push to encourage youth lemonade businesses in the city, as well as help increase registration numbers for Fishers kids to 1,500.

“The new Community Champions initiative gives established entrepreneurs an opportunity to add their own flavor to Lemonade Day and

inspire their fellow community members to get behind it,” Jones stated. “John Wechsler is the ideal Community Champion for Fishers because of his proven commitment to growing entrepreneurial businesses in Fishers and across Indiana.”

With the introduction of the Community Champion, Lemonade Day will also bring two new promotional community events prior to the big day. Game Show Night, housed in the IndyFringe Indy Eleven Theatre, is April 9 between local entrepreneurs and media personalities.

On May 1, Lemonpalooza, a celebration of youth entrepreneurship, will be held on Monument Circle with live entertainment and lemonflavored goodies.

It’s sure to be the biggest year yet, and the event looks to draw in upwards of fifteen thousand participants.

“I personally know the excitement of starting your own business - John Wechsler and love sharing lean start-up principles with entrepreneurs of any age,” Wechsler stated. “I'm really excited about working with Scott Jones to grow Lemonade Day in the Greater Indianapolis area.”

Teen and family granted dream trip to Florida

By Marcia Ellett • news@currentinfishers.com

The Sunshine Foundation, the very first nonprofit organization in the country to grant the wishes of seriously ill, Philanthropy physically challenged and abused children ages 3-18, recently granted Fishers resident Vivian Ballew, and her family, a dream trip to Florida.

Seventeen-year-old Ballew was born with Prader Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects appetite, growth, metabolism, cognitive function and behavior. In Ballew’s case, says her mom, Rebecca Lennon, “She is hungry all the time and cannot control her eating.”

Lennon found the Sunshine Foundation online and requested a trip on behalf of her daughter, who really wanted to go to Disney World.

She said the application process was fast and easy. “We filled out an application and within six months we were in Disney World.”

Ballew and her family stayed at the Sunshine Foundation’s Dream Village and spent a day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, a day at Universal Studios and a day at Lego Land.

When asked about a particular highlight of the trip, Lennon said, “There wasn’t one moment. It was getting to get away from everything and focus on the family. It was exactly what we needed.”

Founder of the Sunshine Foundation, Bill Sample, (who passed away in 2014) said, “Not all children are able to run and play and enjoy life.

Many are innocent victims of birth defects, accidents and deadly diseases.” He asked, “Shouldn’t each child know that somebody cares enough to see his or her dream come true?”

Lennon certainly believes so. She works for Hamilton Southeastern schools with special needs kids, many of whom suffer from severe disabilities. “I think many of the kids I work with would qualify,” she says, and intends to tell their families about the Sunshine Foundation — because in spite of the financial strain that families of special needs children often experience, like Ballew, they should all get to experience their moment in the sun.

Hamilton Southeastern High School senior Zoe Turner knew this was a role she wanted to tackle.

“The second I heard we were doing this show, I looked up the Broadway Performance musical performance on YouTube,” Turner said. “I downloaded the CD and reserved the movie from the library. I definitely jumped at the opportunity.

I really wanted to play Elle.”

Turner got her wish and will play Elle Woods in the “Legally Blonde — The Musical” at Hamilton High School’s Leonard Auditorium at 7 p.m. on March 12, 13 and 14.

“It’s more challenging than I thought it would be,” said Turner, who will wear a blonde wig for the performances. “It’s really fun. She’s a very positive person. She does everything with energy. She is kind with everybody that she comes across. She’s very confident in herself and I like that about her.”

The musical is about dispelling stereotypes.

Preparing for the role was made more difficult that Turner suffered a cold two weeks ago and had to limit her singing.

Turner, who has been in many plays and musicals at HSE, plans to major in musical theater or acting in college but hasn’t settled on a college yet.

Junior Sam Adams, who plays Emmett Forrest, also has acted in several plays and musicals. .

“He sings fairly high so that’s kind of difficult because I don’t sing the highest,” Adams said.

“I’m in choir and usually do the middle part. This is about the biggest character I’ve played. It’s really exciting.”

Both Adams and Turner are members of the Royal Edition choir.

Adams said acting is near the top of his list in things he wants to pursue in the future.

Ethan Mathias serves as the vocal director.

His wife Devan is the choreographer.

“It was a popular film and it was a popular musical when it came out,” Mathias said. “I think they are really getting into it.”

Devan said the students have embraced it.

“It’s contemporary, it’s not ballet or (an older musical like) ‘Carousel,’’’ Devan said. “It’s stuff they recognize from music videos. They are having a lot more fun with it.”

Devan said there are more dance numbers than there has been for recent HSE musicals.

There’s only been one problem slowing rehearsals.

“Last year it was the weather that was hurting us,” Ethan Mathias said. “This year it is people under the weather. You just make due with whoever shows up.”

Others helping with the performance are Mary Armstrong (technical director and producer), Sarah Chattin (costume designer) and Mike Niemiec (pit orchestra conductor).

Tickets for the musical are $7. There is festival seating. Call 594-4190 (ext. 8105) or e-mailmarmstrong@hse.k12.in.us for tickets. Those calling or e-mailing should specify which performance they want to attend. Visit HSEDrama.org for more information.

PROTECTING STUDENTS Local schools rely on school resource officers for safety and support

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com

Providing building security, counseling students and assisting school administrators are all part of a day’s work for school COVER STORY resource officers in Hamilton Southeastern schools.

Whether diffusing internal conflicts or preventing external threats, The SRO’s role is to keep students safe.

Internal safety Both Fishers High School and Hamilton Southeastern High School each have one assigned merit Fishers police officer in the school building at all times. Other SROs on the team float among the schools in the district. “The SRO team is like a specialty, like the traffic unit, or a SWAT team—we’re the school team,” said Lt. Mike Johnson.

Although the district’s SRO officers have varied backgrounds, the common interest they share is taking care of kids. All are parents and most have had children attend the local schools.

“You are the police officer for several thousand students and a couple hundred employees. On any given day, you work a couple of thefts, complaints from auto accidents to thefts, batteries and then things that happen outside of school, especially social media problems,” said Officer Kevin Sutton, HSE SRO. Sutton said because the SROs see the kids often throughout the day, they develop a relationship with the students and that relationship building is key to the SRO’s role. “They feel comfortable coming to us with problems, whether at home or school. Sometimes they need a role model or someone to talk to,” said Sutton. Students might also alert SROs to friends who might need help.

“We adhere to the SRO TRIAD, which is at herepronged approach. There’s the law enforcement component, the informal counselor, and a teacher; I stress that although we do have to do the law enforcement stuff, it’s the hat we like to wear the least, “said Lt. Mike Johnson.

Some SROs work in the classroom setting. As a DARE instructor, Officer Alicia Ahnert spends time in the classroom. “One semester I’m teaching and the semester I’m a full-time SRO,” said Ahnert. “When I’m teaching, I spend the entire day at the classrooms. The DARE program starts in fifth grade in all schools, and we do programs in seventh and eighth grade.

The impact of social media has added challeng-

es to the officers’ jobs. “Social media blew up in 2005, so the students in the schools grew up with it. Parents are learning at a slower place and have to play catch up,” said Sgt. Matt Simmonds The SROs in all schools address social media bullying more than the physical bullying that most parents remember. “Kids send an attachment to a whole group of people with the intent to embarrass somebody—that’s bullying,” said Simmonds.

All schools treat bullying offenses on social media the same as they do for in-person incidents. The consequences don’t change.

Although experimenting with drugs and alcohol hasn’t increased, the officers think that the proliferation in the types and the ways kids use drugs has changed. “My belief is that in all our schools we have amazing kids who are doing good things most of the time, but there are kids who make poor choices and we do deal with that from time to time,” said Johnson.

Active threats The SROs also work to prepare students in case of an external threat to the school. “The assistant

chief, captain and myself have been involved in all of the new construction (on the two highschools) before the turn of the first shovel. Kids’ safety is thought of from day one of the project,” said Johnson.

In some older schools, entryways have been reconstructed to include a second set of doors, which force visitors to come into the office to check in. “Almost every school has been set up that way within the last 18 months,” said Simmonds. After the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, that project moved from back to the front of this list.” The officers also document whether all lights are lit, if shrubs need to be trimmed from the windows to help deter criminals.

“When Sandy Hook happened, everyone wanted to know what we were going to do to protect our kids; we were already doing it,” Simmonds said. All of the SROs are certified ALICE instructors. (ALICE stands for Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate.) Rather than a lockdown-only solution, ALICE is a civilian response to an active shooter. Teachers are instructed on how to use the procedure effectively.

Lt. Mike Johnson greets student.

“When Sandy Hook happened, everyone wanted to know what we were going to do to protect our kids; we were already doing it.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Participation is a responsibility We recently met with a city council member up for re-election in May. His name and municipality of service are not germane to this discussion. What does matter, though, is the topic of voter participation, or, perhaps, voter apathy. He allows that the failure to exercise the right and responsibility to cast votes can be traced to the home. We’re in agreement. Back in the day, it was something of a rite of passage to gain a voter’s registration card. Back then, voting was way less about politics than it was about having your voice heard. We suspect, as did the visiting council member, that the issue isn’t even a blip on most families’ radar screens – and that’s a shame. Prior to each election, primary or general, we always include a reminder to get out and vote. Looking at voter-participation numbers, we’ve concluded the message was unimportant to many. We asked our visitor about immersion - in community; in issues; in, yes, politics. The councilor’s belief is the same as ours: Most among us would prefer to sit on the sidelines than play the game, as it were. Most all want a solution, but fewer seem to be willing to roll up their sleeves and become a part of it. Former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.) adroitly sums this up in a recent op-ed, in which he writes, “You can’t study every issue, but you can pick one and dig in, whether it’s a big problem like climate change or a smaller one, such as how to get food delivered to shut-ins in your community.” The point is, voting, like getting involved in endeavors that move the community forward, has to be a conscious decision.

Writes Hamilton, “Our Constitution’s preamble begins, ‘We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union’... . At heart, that’s what getting involved means …”.

Are you willing to help make it better? We are and we believe we do. We hope you’ll join us.

Amateur night

Commentary by Terry Anker

New Year’s Eve is one of those. St. Patrick’s Day is too. These are counted among the days when good, common, folk are encouraged and even expected to behave irresponsibly. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m all for having a good time. And occasionally, the fun includes an adult beverage or two. But what’s the pleasure of racing headfirst into the drunk tank?

We live in an age of excess. Government is getting bigger. Everything on the Kardashians is getting bigger. TV’s are getting bigger. Supersize seems to be the new medium. More. Bigger.

Faster. Is it human nature to covet exceeding last year’s accomplishments? Competition and continuous improvement are virtuous endeavors.

It is good to seek to enhance and upgrade routinely. But do we sometimes mistake growth for advancement? When is our desire for extra an excess?

Collectively, we eat too much and the data shows it. Portion sizes have bloated to unprecedented levels. Some would argue that we con-

sume too much of everything – food, fuel, natural resources, health care, to name a few. We drive ourselves to ever out-do what came before. It wasn’t that long ago that a 30-inch television was an amazing luxury. Now, it is disposable.

And, life marches on.

What is the cost of our need for more? Certainly, Americans struggle to save money. Our savings rates, compared to consumption, are abysmal. Also, our sports are now “extreme” and our parties epic. Likewise our waistlines are buckling under the long-term effect. With March returns St. Patrick’s Day and its celebration often includes a good deal of beer, Jameson’s and jocularity. But in a culture where more is more, can we hope to survive the party in tact? If amateur drinkers are the most dangerous, aren’t we better off to stay home on amateur night?

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Akron, Ohio posting signs at swimming pools is illegal.

If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.

You won’t believe what I did over the weekend. My four sisters and I auditioned for the Family Feud! The Family Feud! And not to boast, but I really believe we have a shot at making it on to the show. Seriously, by summer, I could be blowing my fifth of a hundred grand on a Caribbean cruise!

My youngest sister Emily has always wanted to be on the Feud, and when she saw they were coming to Columbus, Ohio, my sister Christina’s hometown, she convinced the rest of us to join her. My twin flew in from L.A., another sister came from Louisville, and Em drove over from Chicago. Five gorgeous gingers, all closet actresses? Puh-lease. How could we not make it?

The actual audition consisted of a mock game between us and another family in front of two hundred other Feud hopefuls. We made a grand entrance from the back of the Radisson’s ballroom, high-fiving strangers and throwing admittedly-crooked cartwheels. Emily introduced us and then we got down to business. First question? “Name something people like to eat … ” DING! Emily rang in and shouted “French fries!” Rachel, our host, yelled back “Eeeehhh!” She hadn’t finished. “Name something people like to eat in slices.” Fortunately our opponents responded with “potatoes,” which made no sense whatsoever. We played.

Christina said “pizza,” the number one answer on the board, and my third sister got buzzed for “watermelon” although we all felt it was a “Good answer!” My twin said “oranges” (correct) and then I drew a complete blank.

Stalling, I said “Rachel. I. Am. Going. To. Go. With…Pie!” Shoo! And of course I pronounced it “pah” to emphasize my southern roots. Back to Emily, who said “apples,” and then to Christina who immediately dropped to the floor and did the worm. THE WORM. Right there, on camera.

I’m sure that’s why the casting director invited us for a private interview. That and the fact that we were complete spazzes. I nearly threw a hip jumping up and down and could barely speak afterwards from all the screaming. I hope to God I never see that footage!

Upstairs, they asked for interesting facts about ourselves. Christina obviously performed the worm again (She has four kids!); my twin told of her appearance in the worst-rated Super Bowl commercial of all times (1998, Coke, Redheads, Google it); and I explained how I once sucked an eyeball from a rabbit’s skull during Air Force survival training. Pure TV gold, right?

We’ll find out in two weeks if we’ll be heading to Atlanta to tape. And rest assured, I’ll detail every minute of my rise to stardom on the Feud. Survey says, “Peace out!”

Humor in changing pregnancy perspective

Commentary by Heather Kestian

It isn’t often I complain about anything and I rarely do that in these 400 words. Truly, if I cannot find one endearing moment pregnancy or story in two weeks of living, I need to re-evaluate my life. However, I am making an exception—consider this my top three list of things to consider before getting pregnant. I have learned that the real definition of a baby can be summed up in seven words: a tiny little painful miracle of nature.

Having a baby is special—no doubt. There are magical moments in pre-mommyhood, but all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, the fun and magical parts of pregnancy end before the baby is actually born. I imagine God files this in His “things that are hilarious” folder. Here is the list, and feel free to enjoy my pain.

Swelling of extremities: Here is a little known fact about me, I love shoes. But, when your feet look like footballs with sausages for toes, the only shoes that will fit your s’nausages are flip flops (inappropriate in -4 degree weather) and sneakers (that are not tied). This happens to your hands too. I love my man’s hands, but not my man hands. See the difference?

Waddling: There will be no commanding a room when you walk in waddling like a penguin.

You might get stares or pity glances and you will immediately know the difference.

Decision time—heartburn or bathroom?

You will likely get both and pray for them to end.

I could be wrong, but it seems that heartburn is a side effect of feet jabbing your stomach. Then the baby makes some precipitous drop and the heartburn decreases (Victory is mine!) but you get a new treat, which is waddling to the bathroom every hour around the clock. Can someone who weighs less than five pounds bruise a bladder? Yes, yes they can.

Pregnancy is a funny thing. I remember saying I would do anything to get pregnant. Then, weeks (or more honestly, a month or two) before the due date, I started counting down the days to not being pregnant. There is a certain amount of humor to be found in this fast-changing perspective. I have come to discover that it is no mistake that women carry the child-bearing responsibility for humanity. After all, this kind of quick mind change pattern is completely understandable and acceptable for women.

Heather Kestian is a Fishers resident and mother. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism, as well as a master’s degree in education. Her family moved to Fishers in 2010.

Older areas to see updates Commentary by Larry Lannan There is no question Fishers is growing on its east side, but Mayor Scott Fadness made it clear in his recent State of neighborhoods the City address that the older neighborhoods, along 96th Street and the west end of Fishers, will be getting some attention from city government.

The 96th Street corridor will be getting a face lift and added lanes to the east of Lantern Road.

This will be made possible with the injection of $10 million in federal funds. Fishers Director of Engineering Jeff Hill was instrumental in obtaining the federal cash.

Mayor Fadness said the money will be used to install new roundabouts on 96th Street. The city will also be constructing new pavement and streetscape along the roadway that provides Fishers’ southern border with Marion County.

The older neighborhoods to the west will be receiving badly needed repairs. The city crews will be primarily focused on crumbling pavement and sidewalks in need of upgrading.

I moved to Fishers in 1991 and lived in what is now described as one of the older neighborhoods on the west end of Fishers. My family later moved to the east end of the city.

It is heartening to hear the mayor explain plans to pay attention to the older areas of Fishers. The city began its major growth along 96th

Street and the Allisonville Road areas.

Anyone living in Fishers should be excited about the growth prospects in the eastern part of the city. Flat Fork Creek Park, now under construction at 101st Street and Cyntheanne Road (originally called Cyntheanne Park), promises to be one of the premier park facilities in the area.

But I enjoy going back to Holland Park in the Sunblest subdivision. It brings back fond memories of taking my twin daughters there when they were much younger. That park’s playground underwent an upgrade that was finished in the fall of 2014.

Neighborhoods like Sunblest need to continue the vitality that started when Fishers began its first growth spurts in the 1980s. It is good to see the mayor and other city officials put maintenance work in these neighborhoods on their priority list.

Mayor Fadness talked about many things at the State of the City address, emphasizing his vision of a smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial community. Putting resources into the older neighborhoods of Fishers, in my view, keeps those areas vibrant. It is also the smart thing to do.

The disorder is called misophonia. Sounds like what you feel when you can’t find your cellular device. So what is it? Well, if you humor have misophonia, you’re not going to like the sound of this. Actually, you won’t like the sound of almost anything.

The malady is characterized by an aversion and sometimes a violent response to certain everyday sounds.

At the misophonia website, many people expressed great relief at discovering that others had this problem, suggesting they were not crazy. That’s like watching a documentary about a woman who eats sawdust like you do and then saying: “See, I’m not so loony, after all.” One man said that he suffered from the disorder way before he knew there was a name for it. This is not so unusual. My mother told me that as an infant I had catastrophic intestinal issues, but I don’t think I ever heard the word diarrhea until I was in the fourth grade.

One woman hated the sound of heavy breathing and when she heard it, she immediately left the room. She signed her post as Chastity, which makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

Another lady said she could not stand the sound of her own chewing. Don’t tell the whole world about this, Madam. Just keep your mouth shut.

The sound of people eating popcorn or crunching on apples drives a lot of people bonkers. One farmer said, and I swear I’m not making this up, that when her husband eats an apple, she has to cover her ears, “but listening to my horse chomp on an apple doesn’t bother me at all.” A newlywed said her husband’s eating disgusts her and she’s thinking of leaving him. What? She’s just now discovering this? Waiting until marriage for intimacy is old-fashioned enough, but waiting for your first meal? What cult is that?

The sounds made by ice cream eaters are also annoying to some people. What with the lip-smacking and the spoon hitting the bottom of the bowl, one woman confessed she was thinking about doing away with her husband, but instead she told him he was lactose intolerant. A senior citizen said when his wife gulps soup, he wants to ring her neck. By the way, ringing is a sound most people hate.

Check out the website Misophonia.com. Are these real people with legitimate concerns? Who knows? Maybe it’s all just hearsay.

Try this Irish favorite for St. Patricks Day Compiled by Melissa Hicks Beer Braised Irish Stew and Colcannon

Ingredients: For Irish Stew: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 (3 pound) beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 cup coarsely chopped onion, 1 cup coarsely chopped carrot, 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.

For Colcannon: 3 slices bacon, 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, 2 cups thinly sliced cabbage, 1/4 cup warmed milk, 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley.

Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until very hot, and brown the meat in 2 batches, stirring to brown the cubes on all sides. Return all the meat to the Dutch oven, sprinkle with flour and stir lightly to coat the meat with flour. Stir in onion, carrots, dark beer, bay leaves, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cover. Place the Dutch oven into the preheated oven, and cook for 45 minutes; uncover, stir the stew, and cook until the beef is very tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 45 more minutes. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined

Irish Stew plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside. About 30 minutes before the stew is ready, make the colcannon: Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Place the cabbage into a microwave-safe bowl, and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on High for about 2 1/2 minutes; uncover (watch out for steam) and stir the cabbage. Cover and microwave for about 2 1/2 more minutes, until the cabbage is slightly tender but not mushy. Drain excess liquid, and set the cabbage aside, covered. Place the potatoes into a large bowl, and add milk, butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Beat the potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the cabbage, crumbled bacon and parsley until well combined. To serve, place a scoop of colcannon onto a plate, make it hollow and fill with braised beef stew. Original recipe makes eight servings.

How to save when you’re self-employed Commentary by Joel Harris

of yourself.

How do you do this? Simple. Establish a SEP IRA or Owner Only 401(k) plan. For a SEP IRA, you have the ability to put up to 25 percent of your annual earned income into a taxdeferred account that will be put aside for your future. For example, if you paid yourself $70,000 in earned income last year, you can contribute up to $14,000 into the SEP depending on how your business is set up. Furthermore, you get to deduct that $14,000 from your federal income taxes to lessen your tax liability. If you want to save more than that, you can establish an owner only 401(k) plan and contribute up to $53,000 in 2015.

Self-employed entrepreneurs put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into building their businesses from the ground up. Because of this, they usually re-invest their finance profits back into their businesses to help it grow. This can be a double-edged sword for self-employed professionals if they’re not careful. As we all know, life can pass us by in the wink of an eye. It just seems like yesterday we were reading headlines about worldwide computer systems crashing on Jan. 1, 2000. Boom, here we are 15 years later where 5-inch “smart” devices run seemingly everything in our daily lives.

You need to make proactive decisions so that one day when you’re worn down from beating on doors, servicing clients, collecting receivables, updating your website, paying bills, creating the next marketing plan, or any of the other several hats you wear, you will have the means to take care

Stock decisions – Many people spend time worrying about which stocks to buy but not enough time considering how much money they should invest in stocks. Stock expert Vahan Janjigian recommends investors first determine how much of their portfolio will be in stocks before they start trying to choose which stocks. The balance of the portfolio should be the primary decision, followed by stock choices. Source: BottomLine.com

LICENSED AND INSURED

LICENSED AND INSURED

Question: “Dear Grammar Guy, has everyone totally forgot what they learned in grade school about ‘bring’ and ‘take?’ I Grammar Guy have heard many examples lately from college educated(?) folks misusing these words. Here’s an example: ‘I have to get up at 5:00 to bring Mom and Dad to the airport. Why am I still up?’ (from a Facebook post) Obviously to me it should be ‘take’ since the writer is not currently living at the airport. Should I just give up on it?” – (Bernie Augenstein, Greenwood) Answer: Never give up, Bernie! Never surrender!

I share your pain on this one. The rule is really quite simple – and it’s all about you!

The Oxford Dictionaries boil it down to this: “The essential difference between these two words is that ‘bring’ implies movement toward someone or something … whereas ‘take’ implies movement away from someone or something.”

Given your example above, “take” is clearly

the correct word. But let’s flip it on its head to see how the point of reference of the speaker changes things.

If our speaker is, in fact, already at the airport, they might say something like, “Did you bring snacks for the flight?” or “I brought headsets for all of us.” However if the speaker is still at home, the verb changes: “Mom and Dad already took the snacks with them.” “Are we all taking carryons?” (Side note: Several airlines appear to be spelling “carry-on” as “carryon.” Don’t do that.)

Just remember the two parts to the equation: Where you are and where the person or thing is going in relation to you. Things are “brought” to you and “taken” away from you – despite the Gershwins’ lovely 1937 song claiming the contrary.

Will England lose its marbles?

Commentary by Don Knebel

Magnificent marble sculptures from the Parthenon are among the most popular of the eight million items in London’s British Travel Museum. These so-called “Elgin Marbles” are also the museum’s most controversial items, with persistent claims they were plundered from Greece.

Pericles built the Parthenon atop the Athens Acropolis in the fifth century B.C. to house a colossal statue of the goddess Athena. The colonnaded building, visible throughout the city, was the epitome of classic Greek architecture, adorned inside and out with exquisitely carved marble figures and friezes. As Athens later fell to different empires, the Parthenon was converted to a church and then a mosque and finally an ammunition dump. In 1687, gunpowder stored by the Ottomans exploded during a battle with the Venetians, severely damaging the Parthenon. The artwork was strewn amid the rubble.

In 1798, Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin, became British ambassador to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, then controlling Athens.

Initially desiring only to make casts of the art he found in the Parthenon ruins, he later decided to take it home. Whether he wanted the pieces for his Scottish estate or to prevent further damage

is still disputed. Whatever his motive, he obtained a controversial document from the Sultan purportedly giving him permission to remove “stones” from the Acropolis. Interpreting the document to permit the removal of anything made of stone, Lord Elgin personally spent 70,000 pounds to remove and ship to England about half of all the artwork of the Parthenon, including 17 pediment statues, 15 exterior panels called “metopes” depicting mythical battles, and 250 feet of the frieze honoring the Olympian gods that originally extended around the interior. Apparently needing money, he sold the items to the British government in 1816 for 35,000 pounds. Since the 1850s, the word “Elginism” has been used to describe cultural vandalism.

The Elgin Marbles are now displayed in the British Museum’s Duveen Gallery, a large room built especially for them. The Greek government has repeatedly demanded their return as stolen art, a claim the British government has rejected.

In 2014, UNESCO offered to mediate the dispute.

The room's right lighting needs Commentary by David Decker

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.

It’s time to look beyond the ceiling fan. When it comes to lighting up the room via overhead lights, many homeowners choose standard, boring and often ineffective ceiling indoors fixtures. This is a real missed opportunity in terms of design.

Ceiling light fixtures are key decorative elements that many homeowners tend to gloss over when building or remodeling a space. Not only do they properly illuminate the room, but carefully chosen lighting fixtures can also tie together various design elements together.

The first step in choosing an effective ceiling light is analyzing the specific lighting needs of the room. Kitchens often require very bright lighting to make cooking and entertaining easier.

Bedrooms may require dimmer lights to create a relaxing, comforting atmosphere. You’ll also need to take into account the amount of natural lighting that’s already present. Rooms without a great deal of natural lighting may require brighter lights to compensate.

After you’ve figured out the logistics of the room, the fun of selecting a ceiling fixture design can start. Select a fixture that complements the overall décor of the room and your home in general. Style, shape, color and size all play an important role in creating a fixture’s look, so pay attention to all of these elements. Popular ceiling fixture options include: Chandelier: Make an elegant, showy state-

ment in your room by hanging a chandelier. Ideally, the bottom of the chandelier should hang at least 7 feet above the floor, so people can walk comfortably beneath it. If hung over a table or piece of furniture, the fixture should hang 27 to 30 inches above (if you are working with a standard 8-foot ceiling). Again, these are general guidelines and can be adjusted accordingly.

Pendant lights: These are perfect for spaces or areas that need direct overhead lighting, such as over a kitchen island or a wet bar. Measure and hang pendant lights similar to the way you would install a chandelier.

Ceiling mounts: If you’re looking for a more subtle design, mounted ceiling fixtures may work well for your room. They come in countless shapes and styles, so you’re sure to find one that works well with your décor. Ceiling mounts offer more of a design impact than recessed lighting, without attracting as much visual interest as chandelier or pendants lights.

Lastly, you’ll need to consider the types of bulbs each fixture requires. Different types of bulbs emit different colors of light, so the feel of your room will change slightly depending of the type of bulb you select.
