Oaklandon Civic presents Spring Production

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Oaklandon Civic Theatre will present its spring production, on March 14. “Corn and Sausage in Harmony.”

Local playwright and actor Jim theatre Trofatter is the writer and director of this play about Harmony, a small town preparing for its September Corn and Sausage Days. Audiences will be mesmerized by the antics of the Odd Fellows Lodge members, secrets kept by the Sausage Queen and the interactions of the rest of the townsfolk.

“I think adults will appreciate the humor, and it is G-rated,” said Trofatter.

The theater, 6450 Oaklandon Road, has been operating for 10 years and offers two productions per year. The upcoming fall production marks its 10-year anniversary as it will be a repeat of the very first production of 2004. The play is “Making a Killing” and will star most of the original actors.

Oaklandon Civic Theatre is volunteer-run and many cast members who participate in shows ask to come back.

“The actors are committed,” said Donna Wing, theater founder and artistic director. “We try to bring

in people who really enjoy working with each other,” she said. Wing also added that audience members often comment that the cast members seem to have a lot of fun together on stage.

Wing also makes sure audiences have a good time. “We do a customer-oriented experience,” she said. “We really try to enhance hospitality in the theater.

“One thing that has been said to us repeatedly is that we are a very friendly, intimate escape.”

Trofatter has been involved with Oaklandon Civic Theatre since it started and said he believes it benefits the local community. “I think we do plays that are just as good quality-wise as the ones in downtown Indy,” he said.

Trofatter said hopes audiences enjoy “Corn and Sausage in Harmony” and said he believes the characters will resonate with those familiar with small towns. “You’ll be watching the characters on the stage and you’ll go, ‘I know that person!’” he said.

“Corn and Sausage in Harmony” opens on March 14 at 8 p.m. Additional performances take place on March 15, March 21 and 22 at 8 p.m. and March 16 and 23 at 2 p.m. Visit oaklandoncivictheatre.org for more information.

Big plans for Kroger Store

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com

If you shop at the Kroger at 116th Street and Olio Road, you better brace yourself for some big changes. The Cincinnatidevelopment based company has announced that it plans to build one of its Marketplace concept stores on vacant land just west of the current store and demolish the existing building. The current 65,000 square foot store would stay open during construction of the $20 million, 123,000 squarefoot Marketplace store. Kroger says the new store could create an additional 200 jobs.

There are two Marketplace stores in Indiana already, but both are in Fort Wayne. Marketplace Stores expand on your typical Kroger store by offering more than just groceries. It’s a one-stop shopping concept that offers everything from a larger pharmacy to furniture to electronics to toys. And that’s not all: the new Fishers store will also have a Fred Meyer Jewelers Outlet. And there will be a café that offers Wifi too.

So your questions are: When does this happen? What happens to my store in the meantime? And what about the rest of the stores in that strip center? The answers are that construction could start this year and finish in 2015; the current store will stay open during construction; and the adjacent stores will not be affected.

Kroger spokespeople call it an amazing store and say there is nothing like it in the Indianapolis area. However, there are some approvals that

the company must get before moving forward.

Part of the 7 acres of land needed for the project must be annexed and a vacant home must be torn down.

Kroger also needs to win changes to existing planned development guidelines to allow for an increase in the maximum size of an anchor tenant from 65,000 to 125,000 square feet.

None of this happens without some approvals.

First stop is the Fishers’ Plan Commission which is expected to hear a rezoning request next month.

Meanwhile, council frowns The Fishers Town Council last week got its first look at the Kroger Co.s plan for its store at 116th Street and Olio Road GOvernment and several Council members made it clear that they didn’t like the vision.

Kroger wants to annex land near its current store on which to build a Kroger Marketplace store. At 123,000 square feet, the new store would be roughly double the size of the current one, which would then be demolished to make way for parking. It’s a $20-million dollar investment by Kroger that is expected to create as many as 200 more jobs. The concept of the Marketplace stores, of which there are already two in Fort Wayne, is to provide customers with a one-stop shopping option. Besides the usual grocery and pharmacy, the Marketplace store offers everything from furniture to electronics.

Several council members expressed concern that the plan is contrary to the original intent of the development of the area. The size of the planned store is much larger than current zoning will allow. One council member expressed the desire to not give the petition a first reading in order to send a message to the developers who were not present at the council meeting. Several members, including council President John

Weingardt, said they were not inclined, at this juncture, to go along with the plan which has a long way to go before becoming reality.

Also at the meeting, the head of the Department of Public Works petitioned for an extra day of pay for workers who have had to put in so much overtime to deal with all the snow that has fallen this winter. On many days, snow crews worked non-stop to keep the roads cleared. Not only did the council approve the extra pay, but it gave the DPW a round of applause for the work the department has done during this almost record-breaking winter.

Teenagers are facing more stress than ever; not only from the pressure to achieve high SAT scores, grades and top pereducation formance in sports or other activities. Today’s prevalence of social media such as Facebook creates even more forms of bullying.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 20 percent of adults will have had depression by the end of their teen years, yet 60 percent of them do not receive help. In addition, suicide is the third leading cause of death among 10-24-year-olds.

“Mental illness, especially depression, is so misunderstood and continues to remain a stigma in our community,” said Fishers resident Mike Riekhof. “Along with the stigma, there can be devastating consequences including suicide.”

Last summer, Riekhof and his wife, Mitzi, lost their 18-year-old daughter, Peyton, to suicide.

“Parents feel pretty helpless,” Riekhof said.

“They’re trying to find help for their kids.”

On March 17, area mental health professionals will team up with Kevin Breel, a 20-year-old stand-up comedian that suffers from depression, for a presentation followed by a question and answer session at Hamilton Southeastern High School. The program is sponsored by HSE Parents in Partnership and Young Life.

During the day, Breel will also speak with juniors at HSEHS and FHS. Topics addressed in the discussion include how to understand mental health and help a friend

Representatives from mental health/addiction centers including Aspire, Mental Health America of Greater Indianapolis, Center for Hope, and Lotus Group will attend the event, be available for questions and hand out literature, as well as Chaucie’s Place and the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. In addition, the Fishers Police Dept. will attend the presentation.

“We need to bring an awareness that this is an illness just like a cough and cold or cancer.

People need to talk about it without bring afraid.

We have got to come together as community and help anybody that has a mental illness,” Riekhof said.

Fire reignites sprinkler law debate

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com A fire broke out at in a unit at Lantern Woods Apartments Feb. 28.

By the time the seven disSafety patched units of the Fishers Fire and Emergency Services arrived, the fire had been put out by the automatic activation of the building’s sprinkler head.

The fire apparently started in a storage closet in the common hallway on the third floor of the building and the damage Orusa was confined to the closet.

There were no injuries.

The fire department has seized the incident as an opportunity to publicize a law that is being considered in the Indiana General Assembly that would change state requirements about sprinklers in multi-family buildings. It’s a complicated issue, but basically House Bill 1301 would change the designation of townhouses and put them in a category that would make them exempt from sprinkler requirements.

The Hamilton County Fire Chiefs said the bill is a huge step backward and is calling on that language to be removed from the bill. In a position paper HCFC asks for the “status quo to be maintained so that the Fire and Building Safety Commission can make the decision on sprinklers at the appropriate time and with appropriate deliberation. The “short” session of the General Assembly is not the place to make such a mo-

mentous decision,” according to the chiefs.

Fishers Fire Chief Steve Orusa is one fire official who is very concerned about the potential change. “In a building without sprinklers, a fire can grow from a single lit match to flashover in a matter of minutes – often less than 5 minutes.

Flashover is a condition in which everything in the room catches fire; temperatures reach more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit,” he said. The chief added, “Nothing and no one will survive if they are in a room when it reaches flashover. Sprinklers are a critical component in the reduction of injuries and loss of life due to fire, including the lives of rescue personnel.”The bill has passed the house and now awaits action in the Senate.

Here at Community, the lapel pins that certain physicians wear indicate those doctors have been certified by MD Anderson Cancer Network™, a program of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of America’s leading cancer care providers. That tiny lapel pin isn’t a fashion statement. It’s a quality statement. It says we’ve met MD Anderson’s nationally recognized standards and that their guidelines and treatment plans can be shared with our patients right here locally. Nowhere else in Central Indiana can you get this quick access. You see, it’s much more than a lapel pin. It’s a beacon of hope.

The world owes you nothing Commentary by Mike Colaw

The world owes you nothing. Entitlement has swept across our nation like a tsunami, and in its wake is endless debris of unmet faith expectations. People are deeply hurt because of the chasm between who they wanted to be and who they really are.

A few years ago, I met a young man, a teacher. He had a decent job and a wonderful group of close friends. According to most, he already had a good life, maybe even a great one. Healthy, reliable job, great friends, and solid spiritually. He was living the young adult dream! Not the typical person to darken my door asking for counseling.

I listened closely as he tried to explain the reason for his inner turmoil.

Basically, he was depressed because he wasn’t who he thought he SHOULD be.

So I asked, “who SHOULD you be?” He had a really difficult time landing the plane, fishing for an answer and coming up with nothing.

After a few moments of half finished sentences, I was able to piece together where he was going. He was frustrated because the world wasn’t responding to his dreams, desires, and expectations like he wanted. He truly believed he was entitled to happiness. Not just a culturally agreed upon version of happiness, his ideal version of happiness.

It’s crazy how a young man living a good life can be so miserable.He is the epitome of the

“every kid gets a trophy” generation. He, like many, had married his personal value into a false sense of greatness.

Do you know what all these unmerited accolades ended up giving him? Discontent and depression.

So, what does encouragement look like? Where should your identity be? Love. Real love is the knowledge that you are chosen despite your flaws.

I want to build in my children a deep security that rests in receiving and giving this type of love. This is the message of Christ. You are fully known, the good and the bad, and still chosen by him. Anything materially good that comes your way is a gift. Any praise that comes your way is nice, but at the deepest level it shouldn’t really define you! You don’t need to be rich, powerful, brilliant, or popular to be valuable before Christ.

Let your deepest security be in the knowledge that you are fully known by Christ and still chosen. All that you are. Jesus still chooses you.

Receive this love and show it.

The world owes you nothing. Christ gives and demonstrates the greatest thing you need and the world needs from you—real love. So work hard and give life your all, but let your deepest personal value be in real love.

A well-equipped and trained Fishers Police Department saves lives / P13

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com On Feb. 22nd, Fishers Police Sgt. Troy Fettinger decided to stop

by Fishers Junior High School to do a security check and, while there, catch a few minutes of his son’s bascover story ketball game.

He certainly had no way of knowing that his decision would result in the saving of another child’s life that day.

It was only a few minutes into the game when a player on the opposing team collapsed to the floor. That’s when Fettinger sprang into action along with his father, who is a retired EMT, and a doctor who was also in attendance at the game. Joel Tsetse, 12, had stopped breathing and did not have a pulse. Fettinger radioed for help and while the others performed CPR on Joel, he ran to his police car for a device known as an AED, or automated external defibrillator. The AED indicated that giving the boy a shock was necessary to get his heart rhythm back, and Fettinger administered it. Fortunately, it worked. Emergency medical personnel arrived quickly and Joel was taken to the hospital where he spent several days recovering and being diagnosed to determine what caused his heart to stop to begin with.

Fettinger, who has five children of his own, takes his actions that day in stride.

“When something like that happens you just go into what you are supposed to do in your job and do what you’ve been trained to do. And fortunately we had just been recertified two weeks prior to this incident in CPR and AED use, so it was all very fresh in the mind. Training and experience just takes over and you do what needed to be done, and thankfully we had a great outcome this time,” he says.

The sergeant, who has been a police officer for 21 years and has been on the Fishers police force since 1996, is being called a hero. That’s not how he sees it, though.

“I feel I was doing what I was trained to do and doing what I was supposed to be doing, and I’m glad I

was able to do it”.

The reason he was able to do it is because the FPD puts a premium on acquiring life-saving equipment such as AEDs and training personnel to use them, according to Sgt. Mike Janes, an 11 year member of the department and patrol supervisor, a paramedic and former firefighter who is responsible for training police personnel in CPR and AED use. He says FPD began seeking funding to buy AEDs back in the early 2000s with the goal of having one in every patrol car. As of today, that goal has been met and the department has as many as 90 of the units, which cost approximately $1,200 each. Janes says that the use of an AED within five to seven minutes of a person going into cardiac arrest can make the difference between life or death.

Police cars are already out driving around and have the chance to be quick on the scene. So, having trained police with those units in their cars just makes sense, many say.

It’s the kind of thinking that makes the Fishers Police Dept. so great, according to Janes. He cites a large number of specialty teams in the department such as the SWAT Team, Dive Team, Boat Patrol, Crash Team and K-9 Units.

“One of the neatest things about Fishers is that we’ve been blessed that we’ve got a lot of people who have worked at other agencies who have brought different experiences here, plus we provide a lot of training,” he says and adds, ”in my opinion we’ve got some of the best-trained and most-knowledgeable officers in the nation because of the different and high levels of training that we’ve been able to provide our people.”

Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness agrees and says,

Fishers Police Sgt. Troy Fettinger visits Joel Tsetse and his father in his hospital room (submitted photo)

“We are probably leading the nation in our approach to emergency medical care.” He says that the national average for the time between a 911 call and having the patient “on the table” being cared for is 90 minutes. In Fishers, that time is only 60 minutes.

Fadness adds, “I wouldn’t want to have heart problems anywhere else.” The pride they feel for their department is evident, with both Fettinger and Janes noting that there has not been a murder in Fishers since 1995, and last year police made apprehensions in 14 crimes in progress.

“I think there’s high expectations by the people who live here.

You expect to live in a safe community when you’re in this area.

And fortunately, we’re able to provide that,” says Janes. He points to stable leadership, with a police chief who has been with the department for more than 35 years, and hiring and retaining good people.

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Comic to talk on mental health Anytime a serious, important topic can be communicated to the masses, that’s just fine with us. To that end, stand-up comic and activist for mental health Kevin Breel will deliver his presentation “Stand Up for Mental Health with Hope, Help and Community” at 7 p.m. on March 17 at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Leonard Auditorium. We hope you’ll find this noteworthy and that you’ll attend. According to HSE Schools, Breel has been featured on MTV and TEDx as well as the Today Show on NBC. His 45-minute message is direct and honest about depression among young people based on his personal experience and will be followed by a session with local professionals.

HSE Young Life and HSE Parents in Partnership are sponsoring Breel’s appearance. He brings some levity to the discussion, but the message is crystal clear: This is serious business. His delivery has been characterized as “Hilarious. Honest. And unbelievably powerful.”

The program is open to the public, and there is no cost for admission. States Breel on his web site, www.kevinbreel.com, “Due to the overwhelming response from my TED talk, I’ve decided to dedicate this year to talking in cities and at colleges about mental health issues and suicide prevention. It’s a topic that is truly close to my heart, my family and my friends.”

For more information, call 594.4100.

A great community

Incantation station

Commentary by Terry Anker

It may be a product of our literary history. Or, it may just be a part of our DNA. Whatever the genesis, we humans expect that objects or magic talismans will keep us safe, secure and free from threat real or imagined. Recently, I found myself on the Riverwalk in San Antonio – wonderful place, by the way – and during a short ride on a water taxi to a restaurant the affable and tipexpecting driver was regaling those assembled of various factoids about the buildings and historical elements along the passageway. In the 1920’s, it seems, a regional insurance company elected to build its headquarters as a rather unusual combination of gothic-revival architectural elements and a highly aspirational skyline-dominating tower. The creators included elaborate entablatures and heavily carved limestone details meant to evoke the European designs of religious and institutional buildings of the period.

The young captain of our vessel elected to focus his attention on the various grotesques and gargoyles that ring the massive edifice. Each

of them, we were told, was installed to keep the building safe from evil spirits that might seek access to harm the occupants of the company’s new home. Of all the important and historic elements, his attention focused in the firm’s use of object to intervene in some eternal struggle between good and evil. Whether these stone faces are supposed to actually prevent a metaphysical infestation or were only considered a periodappropriate decoration may be lost to history.

We see scores of such symbols of protection each day. But do they have transcendent powers or do they simply serve to remind us that our beliefs are more powerful than any incantation? Does the object dangling from a chain on our neck really protect us from vampires or is it most effective in reminding us to defend ourselves?

This is my first edition as new managing editor of Current in Fishers, and I want to introduce, or perhaps, reintroduce myself to you. After spending 30 years in broadcasting in the Indianapolis market, both radio and television, I turned to writing to scratch my creative itch. I am very pleased to have found a home with the folks at Current who provide the only real news service to the people of Fishers. I am especially proud and happy to be a part of the growing, thriving community, and soon to be City of Fishers. National surveys don’t lie when they heap honors on our town. The most recent honor is being designated one of the top two safest suburbs in the nation.

You’ll see why when you read our cover story this week about an officer who saved a child’s life and was able to do so because of the training and equipment our police department provides. The underlying story though is about a police force that is unified and in which the personnel love what they do and the community they serve.

I want to hear your comments about our community, and I am always open to your story ideas about the people and events that help make Fishers such a great place to live.

Mother of the year

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

I received an email the other day reminding me that this spring I would celebrate my 10th anniversary as Mother of the Year. humor Me! Mother of the Year! Sure it was just from my Mothers of Twins Club, and at the time there were maybe only 50 members, but the point is, despite what people think, I was at one time a good mom. So there!

And now, well, I’m mainly trying to survive each day without taking meds, offing a child or my spouse, or purposely driving my mini-van into a retaining pond.

What’s changed? Certainly the ages of my kids makes a huge difference. No one, thank the Lord, is in diapers, everyone sleeps through the night barring illness or Walking Dead-inspired nightmares, and a few can even make a mean meal of macn-cheese (I’m also a master of alliteration, thank you very much!). They dress themselves, shower, sometime do homework and usually complete their chores without too many complaints. By most accounts, they are healthy, happy teens/tweens.

But I think we’d all agree, “2014 Mother of the Year” would be a stretch. I do, after all, consistently serve my kids pre-packaged, high-sodium foods and forget to pick them up from track practice (Sorry, coach!).

But in reality, what makes anyone a good mom? When I was in the throes of stay-at-home motherhood with a newborn, toddler twins and a precocious preschooler, I thought I was a ter-

rible parent. Isolated and alone, I longed to go back to work just so I could have a break from the constant pressure and monotony of keeping said babies alive and well. I certainly did not “feel blessed” to be playing house and Hot Wheels all day long, nor did I truly appreciate the opportunity to spend all of my waking (and unwaking it would seem) moments nurturing and caring for my children. Especially when I attended Twins Club meeting, where many members had struggled with infertility, my schemes for propping a bottle to buy 10 minutes for a shower and using Playhouse Disney to babysit while I scarfed down a long-forgotten-in-the-toaster bagel seemed utterly selfish and irresponsible.

As it turns out, though, and I also learned this from the amazing mothers at Twins Club, doing the best you can each day is what makes us all good parents. We won’t always succeed, but as long as we are trying, we are all Mothers of the Year. Even me in 2014! Peace out.

Shameless plug: The Northside Twins and Multiples Club, the very same group that once elected yours truly Mother of the Year, is holding its Children’s Consignment Sale on April 26 at Fishers UMC. Email ntmclothingsale@gmail.com for more information.

Idea(l) wife

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

If my column isn’t particularly funny this week, I have no one to blame but my wife. I have always depended on Mary Ellen humor to in some way annoy, befuddle, confound or mock me, thus leading me to my inevitable outburst: “That’s my next column.”

Every week I depend on her. She is my rock.

She is the well I go to when I need an idea. But this week, the well dried up.

I thought there was potential the other day when we were deciding on a movie to watch on Netflix later in the evening.“Oh, this will be rich,” I said to myself. She’s going to pick out a chick flick and she’ll make me sit through it with her.

The column was half written in my head when she said “How about this one, Dick? Caddyshack.”

I panicked at first, but the evening was young.

We still hadn’t made a decision about where to have dinner. My wife usually steers clear of fast food, but I like it, because I’m pretty tight with a buck. Then she calls me cheap. Great columns are made from this very conflict.

“I’m starving. How about Steak ‘n Shake?”

“Sounds good. I’m in the mood for a burger.”

“No, no you’re not in the mood for a burger.

You’re in the mood for a good steak, or a marketpriced lobster. Come on. Work with me. Call me a

tightwad. I’ve got a column due in the morning.”

“Nah, a burger sounds fine. But first, I need to stop at DSW for a few minutes and get a pair of snow boots. It won’t take long.”

Saved! This would take her at least two hours.

I could write about being able to fill out my entire 2014 tax return while she shopped for shoes.

“Hi, Dick, I’m back.”

“You’ve only been gone 10 minutes. You’re killing me.”

“I saw exactly what I wanted as soon as I walked in the door.”

“No, no. You have to try on lots of shoes. Then you’ll come out to the car with four pairs and when we get home you’ll try them all on. Please, help me out here.”

“You know, Dick. I’m on to you. You want me to behave in a certain way so you’ll have an idea for a column. Without me, you are an empty shell, a man devoid of original ideas, a writer without a thought in your head.”

“Oh, thank you, thank you. I was afraid I was never going to make that deadline.”

Feel green, not blue, on St. Patrick’s Day By: Kristen Yates • editorial@youaecurrent.com For the past six years Mo’s Irish Pub St. Patty’s Day – 2 Day Bash has been a hit. So much that just last year its party grew large enough that they decided to turn it into a two-day event.

“This year is going to be better than ever,” St. Patricks Day Kyle Gobel, assistant general manager, said.

This will be Gobel’s second year working the event and he has many fond memories of last year.

“It’s really a big event. We have grown in size every year and I can’t wait to see what this year will bring,” he said.

The two-day event starts on March 15 with the inaugural Mo’s Shamroc5K run at 8:30 a.m. Proceeds will benefit Simon Youth Foundation and all are welcome to participate. Those interested in participating can register online at www.shamroc5k.com.

After the race the festivities continue with Mo’s traditional Kegs & Eggs breakfast featuring just what it sounds like – malt beverages and eggs.

Festivities begin at 11:45 a.m. and continue all day with outside tents housing live music and drinks.

Wristbands are being pre-sold through March 14 for $15, which allows patrons to return Monday for more fun, or they can be acquired at the door for $10. Patrons must be 21 or older to enter the tents.

Most importantly, it wouldn’t be St. Patrick’s Day without traditional Irish food. The menu will include made-from-scratch dishes like fish and chips, corn beef, and chicken and shrimp.

“I’m especially excited for the green beer, live music, and are customers out here having a good time,” Gobel said.

On March 17, all the fun moves inside to the spacious restaurant. Drinks, food, and live music will continue on St. Patrick’s Day. “I have the best staff in Indiana. They are mostly excited to dress up for the events, and trust me, they go all out,” Gobel said.

By Sophie Pappas sophie@youarecurrent.com These puff-pastry appetizers make for a great introduction to an Irish feast. Plus, they are simple and so delicious!

Ingredients: • 2 1/2 cups finely chopped deli corned beef • 2 tablespoons chopped onion • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise • 1/4 teaspoon prepared horseradish • 1 cup beer • 1/2 cup butter • 1 cup flour • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 4 eggs

Directions: 1. Mix together the corned beef, onion, mustard, mayonnaise, and horseradish. Cover and refrigerate.

2. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

3. In a large pot, bring beer and butter to a rolling boil. Stir in flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon or stand mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet.

4. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 10 minutes until golden brown. Centers should be dry.

5. When the shells are cool, split the puffs and fill with the corned beef mixture. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Koresh to fuse multiple styles

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Ronen Koresh’s wide range as a creative artist could perhaps be traced to a typical Israeli apartment building of the 1960s.

Dance The founder and artistic director of Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company explains it this way: “My diversity to some degree is the result of the accumulation of so many experiences in Israel,” he said.

Koresh was born there 52 years ago.

“I grew up in a country where in one building with 12 apartments, you might have 12 different nationalities living there,” he said by phone last week from Philadelphia. “I’m a Yemenite Jew, and next door you might find Jews from Morocco or Tunisia or Iran. All those people eat different foods and listen to different music. As a child, you don’t pay attention to those differences, but they are carved into you: The way people dance and the way they party becomes a part of you.”

From the time he was turned on to dance as a boy, he has sought to express this diversity in staged dance.

His company biography identifies this stunning array of influences: “Graham technique, Luigi jazz, classical ballet, club dancing, military

19

maneuvers and Israeli folk dance.”

It’s no wonder he’s reluctant to associate himself with a particular style.

“I don’t choreograph in one style,” he said. “Style is a limitation. Once you develop a style, you have to stick to it. Mine is constantly changing.”

The common thread of his choreography is simply who he is.

“There is a signature, and that is me - the intensity of it, the way I approach things,” Koresh said.

“But I try to stay open-minded as much as I can. I will use anything to communicate.”

The centerpiece of the 10-person troupe’s program here is Koresh’s 2012 setting of Ravel’s “Bolero,” the famous orchestral showpiece with the hypnotic rhythms and repetitive theme. Having loved the piece since his youth, Koresh took his time deciding he was ready to add his version to many predecessors, dating back to the work’s 1928 premiere.

“I didn’t want it to be another sexy ‘Bolero,’ but one that would stand on its own. Mine is really different: I feel like a conductor with that music, like I’m conducting it in a childish way. So I took it to a place like a playground,” he said. “My dancers are not kids, but we can act in a way that’s childlike. It’s very mysterious, and it has a sense of humor to it, too.”

Tips for a healthy spring break Commentary by William Heisel, MD

This month families begin heading to warmer climates for spring break. Whether you’re traveling by plane or car, here are Wellness some important things to remember to keep your family healthy on vacation.

Tips for air travel Fight germs. Before settling into your seat, wipe the tray table and armrests with antibacterial wipes. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer before eating. Don’t use airplane pillows or blankets unless they are delivered to you in plastic. Better yet, bring your own.

Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of bottled water during the flight. Lip balm, moisturizer and small misters may come in handy to help combat dry cabin air.

Protect your ears. Changes in cabin air pressure can cause ear pain, especially in children.

During takeoff and landing, offer an infant the breast or a bottle to encourage swallowing, which helps keep the eustachian tubes open.

Chewing gum, yawning or swallowing are good remedies for older children and adults to avoid ear discomfort. If you have cold symptoms, talk to your doctor about taking a decongestant before flying to help prevent earache.

Tips for road travel Take frequent breaks. Long car trips can take a toll on children and adults alike. Make a

point to stop every two hours to stretch your legs. Build 15-minute breaks into your travel time so you won’t be tempted to skip them.

Snack smart. Avoid the high-sugar, high-fat snacks found in rest area vending machines and roadside convenience stores. Instead, pack healthy snacks such as fresh fruit, raw vegetables, pretzels or reduced-fat crackers. People often eat in the car to fend off boredom, so bring travel-friendly games to keep children engaged.

Prevent motion sickness. To ease motion sickness, keep your head still and avoid reading or watching TV or videos. If car sickness persists, stop for some fresh air, sip clear, carbonated beverages or eat soda crackers.

During vacation, keep children on their normal sleep schedules, when possible. Factor in time for naps between activities. Also, stick to their normal diets, as much as possible. They’ll be happier – and so will you.

Probiotics – Yogurt is a power food that can boost your immunity. Probiotics, or the “live active cultures” found in yogurt, are healthy bacteria that keep the gut and intestinal tract free of diseasecausing germs. Although they’re available in supplement form, a recent study found that a daily 7-ounce dose of yogurt was just as effective in boosting immunity as popping pills.

Mayoral choice is important Commentary by CJ McClanahnan

© 2014 All Rights Reserved Certa ProPainters, Ltd. Each CertaPro Painters business is independently owned and operated.

Recently, I was invited to an event to meet one of the candidates to become the first mayor of Fishers.

The invitation came commentary from someone I really respect, so I decided to check my calendar and give it serious consideration. (Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it.)

Moments after delivering my regrets, the following questions raced through my head: • Who is this guy?

• Aren’t there 10 people now running for mayor? Isn’t there a limit?

• How in the world am I supposed to make a decision?

• Does it really matter who gets elected?

Don’t judge me – you would ask the same questions.

Unfortunately, my (and your) indifference is a big problem.

Our society is built upon the fundamental concept that we the people rule ourselves.

In other words, the collective judgment of an entire community is far more important than a handful of individuals.

Unfortunately, in Fishers, and just about every community in America, a handful of informed individuals are making all of the decisions. The reason is that the “judgment” of the community is based upon an elector-

ate that pays attention - which we don’t.

We listen to sound bites and allow ourselves to get emotionally attached to certain issues and people, but rarely do we take the time to educate ourselves properly before we enter the voting booth.

If you don’t believe this assertion, ask yourself the following questions: • What are the 3 most important issues to you? Why? • Where do the current office holders in your community stand on these issues?

• Where does the opposition stand?

Now, assuming like me, you didn’t love your answers, I’ve got a challenge for us all to consider.

Take the time to develop a meaningful answer to these questions as it relates to the upcoming mayoral race in Fishers.

This isn’t a massive undertaking.

Review their websites, ask a few questions and develop an informed opinion.

As with most things in life, the solution is simple. You just need to execute.

Fitness center caters to convenience

By Nancy Edwards • nancy@youarecurrent.com For those that often get bored with their workouts, timing the minutes and calories left until they can leave the gym, a new exercise facility will have attendees shocked that a half now open hour has already passed.

9Round Kickboxing Fitness in Fishers is the first exercise facility of its kind in central Indiana. A franchise that began in Greenville, South Carolina, the 30-minute workout combines cardio and strength training with fast-paced movements that include kickboxing, speed punching bags, medicine balls, lunges and jumping rope. There are nine rounds with three minutes each and a 30-second break in between rounds. Clients burn about 500 calories per 30 minutes.

“People will see changes at a healthy level if they attend three days a week,” said Mandy Hildebrand, 48, who runs the facility along with her husband, Kevin, also 48. “You don’t have to work out every day, which is nice.”

An added benefit is the convenience of time.

There is no need to worry about missing a “class” because rounds begin on a continual basis from the time the facility opens until it closes. A trainer is always on site to show beginners the ropes.

“This is an intimate, small, non-intimidating environment,” Mandy said.

Competitive personalities can trade punches with the instructor, write down their goals to inspire themselves to work harder or engage in contests with other attendees.

Members of all ages and skill levels are welcome.

Current attendees range in age from 14 to 67. There is a $99 initiation fee to join, and specials include $49 per month for a year, $59 month to month, or $19 for two weeks. The first session is always free.

Memberships include a trainer, unlimited workouts, 9Round gloves, a nutrition guide, hand wraps and nutritional support.

9Round Kickboxing Fitness is located at 14065 Mundy Drive and is open from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. For more information go to https://www.9round.com/ fitness/fishers-indiana or call 317.678-8120.

2014 Church Floor at Taybet al Imam, Syria (Photo by Don Knebel)

Paradise and a Syrian church floor Commentary by Don Knebel

COMING IN MARCH! Current Publishing’s special section on March 18 will clue in readers in 108,133 households in Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield and Zionsville exactly how to maxmize on the change of seasons. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to reach the most-coveted audience anywhere in Indiana.

In 1985, workers building a road in Taybet al Imam, a small town in northern Syria, uncovered a magnificent church floor buried travel beneath two feet of dirt. The floor, now protected under a permanent building, illustrates early Christian beliefs and may have provided the inspiration for Islamic images of Paradise.

The 6,000 square-feet floor was once part of the Church of the Holy Martyrs, built in about 442 A.D. The floor still includes bases of columns that once supported the three-nave church. The entire floor is covered with colorful mosaic scenes, making it one of the largest continuous Byzantine mosaics ever found.

The scenes are not like those found in modern churches. No pictures show Jesus or Mary. None show saints or angels. In fact, the floor contains no representations of human or divine beings at all, reflecting the early Christian belief that God forbids the creation of “graven images.” Instead, the floor includes about 20 framed representations of important Christian buildings, including churches in Bethlehem and Jerusalem and a cross-shaped church honoring Simeon the Stylite, a Syrian Christian ascetic who lived atop a

column for 37 years.

The most theologically significant scenes illustrate the fifth century idea of Paradise. Many Christians then understood Paradise to be God’s eventual recreation of the Garden of Eden on earth, ushered in by the expected return of Jesus. So, deer drink from a steam overflowing with fish, wild animals run free, and grapes and cool drinks are in abundance. Peacocks, whose bodies were once thought never to decay, drink from a golden chalice, symbolizing God’s promise of immortality. Lions run together with prey among trees laden with fruit.

These images are remarkably similar to the Paradise described in the Quran, a fact not necessarily a coincidence. Muhammad is known to have visited Syrian churches during caravan trips with his uncle. As suggested by a floor panel showing two camels beside a caravan stop, the Church of the Holy Martyrs was along the caravan route north of Damascus, The Islamic images of Paradise may have their roots in a Syrian church.

Kid, pet-friendly carpet and flooring choices

Commentary by David Decker

Keeping your floors neat and tidy when there are young or furry members of the family living in your house is difficult. Parents indoors and pet owners both know that a certain amount of messiness and wear is inevitable, but it’s helpful to know what materials are more kid and pet-friendly flooring than others. Here is what you need to know about choosing flooring that will be best suited for children, pets or a combination of the two.

Stain-resistant carpet Just as the name implies, stain-resistant carpet is specially made to repel dirt, liquids and other messes (including pet accidents). Carpets made with wool are naturally stain-resistant and durable, but a bit pricier than synthetic materials. The most popular stain-resistant carpets are made from nylon that’s been infused with a special coating during the manufacturing process.

One word of caution: do not clean your stainresistant carpets with harsh chemicals, because this could damage or erode the coating.

Tile Porcelain, stone or ceramic tile is a good choice if you’re looking for something that can hold up against wear and tear. Like stain-resistant carpet, messes can quickly and easily be mopped up without leaving permanent damage.

Tile is also very scratch resistant, which is help-

quiet to walk on.

Pets and children are messy, but the right flooring eases the cleaning burden. (Submitted photo)

ful if you are worried about pet claws damaging your floor.

Vinyl flooring While most people wouldn’t think vinyl to be a very innovative flooring choice, there have been many innovations in vinyl over the last few years. Today’s “luxury” vinyl designs is great for pets and kids because it’s scratch and stain resistant, low in allergens, easy to clean and even

Green options Many homeowners are choosing to install flooring made from renewable resources, such as cork or bamboo. Both are very durable materials, which make them great options for homeowners with pets or children. Cork flooring is naturally antimicrobial, which means that it will reduce the amount of mold and other allergens in the room. Additionally, it’s scratch resistant and holds up well against moisture. It also can absorb sound, which is always a plus for pet owners and parents. You may also want to investigate bamboo flooring. Bamboo is actually harder than hardwood flooring, which means than it will stand up to foot traffic. It is also stain-resistant and extremely durable.

The best way to choose flooring is to analyze what types of things your family will do most frequently in that particular room. Then consider which type of material will most benefit all the activities (and potential messes) that may occur there. Choose carefully and you’ll have flooring that enhances the room and makes the entire family happier.
