Pickleball coming to Cyntheanne Park

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com

Pickleball, North America’s fastest growing sport, is coming to Cyntheanne Park with courts opening in early summer. recreation Pickleball is an all-ages recreational paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong. Players need a pickleball racket, which is smaller than a tennis racket and longer than a ping pong paddle. The typically yellow or white plastic, hollow ball has holes throughout and travels at one-third the speed of a tennis ball. Attire is anything comfortable; tennisstyle dress is common.

The game originated in 1965. Three dads, Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum, from Bainbridge Island, near the state of Washington are credited for creating the game to help fend off their kids’ summertime boredom and provide a game that could be enjoyed by all family members.

“We were looking for something new and exciting to bring to our community,” said Matt Walker, operations and administration manager for the Fishers Parks and Recreation department. “We want to bring new things to the community, and the pickleball courts will create a destination amenity in Cyntheanne Park.”

A pickleball court is the same size as a doubles badminton court, measuring 20x44 feet, and the net height is 34 inches in the middle. Court markings are similar to those of a tennis court. Pickleball courts are located in all 50 states.

Four dedicated pickleball courts, connecting sidewalks and new plantings including trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials will be added to Cyntheanne Park.

“Fishers has a pretty large 50 and better community,” said Walker. “We wanted something new for those residents.

There’s been a real demand for it.”

The city is hoping for final approval by the end of March, with a ground breaking in April. “The concrete has to cure for 30 days before paint can be applied, so there is a little delay,” he said.

Walker hopes to create a training program through the parks department. “Anybody and everybody can play it,” he said. Go to www.usapa.org for rules of the game.

Accounts of the origin of the name vary. According to McCallum, the game was named after the Pritchard’s dog, Pickles, but Joan Pritchard, Joel’s wife, explained that she called it pickleball because the combination of sports reminded her of a pickle boat crew, a crew consisting of the leftover crew of oarsmen.

Lts. Harding and Mehling recognized news@youarecurrent.com Lt. Joe Harding and Lt. Josh Mehling from Fishers Department of Fire and Emergency Services were presented the St.Vincent Hospital Angel Medic Award achievement during a dinner ceremony on March 3. These two paramedics were recognized for their work in bringing and developing community paramedicine to the City of Fishers called, WeCare.

WeCare is the cornerstone project for the Protecting the Heart of Fishers initiative. Through cardiac care hospitals, patients are voluntarily referred to this program for health care follow up and education. This program is designed to assist patients that don't qualify for home health care. In addition, the department offers home safety checks and blood pressure monitoring. Nationwide, one in ten people who go into cardiac arrest survive. In Fishers, one in three survive.

Lauren Baney organizes concert to bring awareness to human trafficking

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com

Two years ago, a friend asked Lauren Baney, then a freshman at Ball State University, to join her in attending a presentation by guest speaker Greg Darley from the Intercover story national Justice Mission; she casually agreed. The topic of the presentation was human trafficking.

The broad term is defined as modern-day slavery and includes forced labor, organ harvesting, child slavery and sex trafficking. She was horrified by what she had learned.

After the presentation, Lauren remembers not being able to sleep and calling her mom around 2 a.m. just to talk. Both Lauren and her mom, Cindy Baney, a Carmel schoolteacher, have learned more about the topic together, sharing books and resources and a growing interest in helping those who cannot speak for themselves.

“The more I learned and talked to people about human trafficking, I realized that they

didn’t know it really existed,” said Lauren. “The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do something in Hamilton County.”

Lauren learned that predators and pimps prey on vulnerabilities, and many target children through social media. “A common thread is often that these girls are neglected, but not always; it’s based on love hunger,” Cindy said.

“About 80 percent of those taken into sex trafficking are girls.”

Lauren works as a counselor at Camp Tecumseh during the summer. “I work with girls between ages 12-14, so I see a lot of just how vulnerable girls this age can be,” she said. “I think social media contributes to lower self-esteem, which makes girls feel badly about themselves,” she said.

Lauren learned about the grooming process that tricks girls into feeling loved.

“A pimp may say all of the things the girl wants to hear and buy her clothes and feed her and before you know it, she’s gone,” Lauren said. They often take the girls to another state and change their appearance. “I’ve read a statistic that within 48 hours of running away, a girl is approached by a pimp.”

action. “I remember thinking that people need to know about this—so many people haven’t heard of this, especially in Hamilton County, where we’re in our own little bubble,” Lauren said.. “We all grew up singing in my family—so I thought, ‘I

can create a concert.’”

Lauren created A Better Tomorrow: Hope for Human Trafficking concert to entertain and educate. The second annual concert was held on March 8 at Cumberland Road Christian Church.

Approximately 250 people attended the free program, which featured two bands with local ties, ANONAMUS and 3union. Lauren also wrote and performed original music and her family members sang. A mother from Carmel whose daughter was a victim of human trafficking shared her story, and an undercover police officer who works to find human trafficking cases in Indianapolis discussed how difficult it is to find the victims.

The interactive fair included posters and presentations. Six local justice organizations contributed booths to distribute information, and Lauren sold T-shirts, bumper stickers and tote bags to help bring awareness to the cause.

Lauren plans to keep expanding her efforts to inform people about the atrocity that affects an estimated 30 million people worldwide. “We live right next to a park, and I thought about how cool it would be to do a festival in a park,” she said. “And it’s within the scope for us to have a safe house (for local victims). There’s not a lot of places for them to go and some come from such broken homes,” she said.

Five facts about human trafficking • Globally, the average cost of a slave is $90.

• Trafficking primarily involves exploitation which comes in many forms, including forcing victims into prostitution, subjecting victims to slavery or involuntary servitude and compelling victims to commit sex acts for the purpose of creating pornography.

• According to some estimates, approximately 80 percent of trafficking involves sexual exploitation, and 19 percent involves labor exploitation.

• There are approximately 20 to 30 million slaves in the world today.

• According to the U.S. State Department, 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, of which 80 percent are female and half are children. For more information, go to www.dosomething.org

Waging a good marriage

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Tsk, tsk, Walker: Which is it, sir?

This is a case where it’s best to tell the truth so you never have to remember what you said. Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.), who at one time in 2006 orally ripped the ethanol mandate, altered his message (it’s the Republican way) a week ago during a visit to Iowa.

Surprise! He embraced it during an appearance there. Kudos to Tim Carney of The Washington Examiner for doing the digging on this. By the way, the mandate is the corporate welfare program that subsidizes corn farmers and ethanol producers at the expense of motorists, diners, eateries and the environment. A word to the aspiring GOP nominee for the presidency: Say what you mean, mean what you say. Or don’t, and be like the rest of the sheep already in Washington.

••• NBC News (not Brian Williams) reported last week that its recent poll with the Wall Street Journal shows “more Americans clamoring for change in the upcoming 2016 presidential election than they were in the ‘Hope and Change’ year of 2008.” Interesting. Apparently 59 percent of respondents said they would welcome a less-experienced candidate if he or she were to bring greater changes to existing policies.

Of course they would. They would so much, in fact, that they would simply wish for it instead of going to their polling place. Does anyone know what time Oprah reruns are on? (By the way, we view this, if true, to be something of a concern to Jeb Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the apparent frontrunners for the Republican and Democratic nominations, respectively.)

••• So, back to that whole Hope and Change song and dance. From time to time, we check in on Real Clear Politics polling, and here’s something to ponder from last week: It reported 44.4 percent approves of the job President Barack Obama is doing and 32.2 percent believes our nation is headed in the proper direction. There’s all that change for which American voted.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Smelegant flights

Commentary by Terry Anker

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that airlines have gotten into the smell business. Well to be honest, they have long been in the smell business – jet fuel, full planes filled with a potpourri of intentional and unintended human odors, and then there’s the food (both brought onboard by staff to be served to the passengers and carried from the food court by the passengers themselves) – it would be more accurate to report that airlines are getting into the fragrance business.

Delta has a scent, entertainingly enough called Calm. They’ve actually been using it for a few years now. United has one, too. It goes by the moniker Landing. One wonders if it would be better received if called Safe Landing. Singapore Airlines has been doing it with its Stefan Floridian Waters for almost two decades. The always highly rated airline adds the concoction to its towels, lounges, cabins, and even expects its flight attendants to wear it as a perfume.

British Airways has included scent manipula-

tion as a part of its most recent marketing campaign. They believe it will make use of the human propensity to remember scent longer than other details. Moreover, studies have shown that scent can contribute to the transmission of “a feeling.”

As someone who regularly finds himself stuffed with other travelers into the sardine cans in the sky, I’m a fan of attempts to improve the smell that too often lands somewhere between low-rent food court and middle school locker room. Is the right solution to add another more powerful odor to overwhelm the cacophony of others? Maybe. But, any move to improve the overall smelegance of our ever diminishing decorum on public transportation must be a good thing! So for now, let’s be open minded – or at least keep an open nostril.

Q U O T E O F T H E W EEK “We love those who know the worst of us and don’t turn their faces away.”

Walker Percy

Everybody throws the word “bet” around.

“Mary Ellen, I bet we’re going to be late again.”

Or, “Dick, I bet that burger has humor 50 grams of fat.”

I enjoy a good wager every once in a while, but I’m also very cheap. I spend a lot of time in casinos…eating the free eggrolls and watching people pull the lever on the nickel slot machine. I like the action.

The truth is that it’s no fun making even a small side bet in a marriage, because there is no excitement in winning. Recently I bet Mary Ellen we would get at least three inches of snow. “Where’s my ten bucks?” I asked her when I was proven right.

“Oh, I don’t have any cash. I forgot to go to the bank. Can you give me some money so I can get groceries tomorrow?”

“Of course. Here’s $50. Now hand over my ten.” I won the bet and it only cost me $40.

Last week, Mary Ellen predicted the Oscar winner for Best Actor. “Where’s my $20?” she asked, after Eddie Redmayne took the award. I handed over the cash, but she gave it right back to me because I needed it to pay the kid who shovels the driveway.

In most marriages, resources are all in one pot, so winning a bet or receiving a gift is not very satisfactory. Like for my birthday this week…

“Wow, what a great watch this is, Mary Ellen. WE shouldn’t have spent so much money on it. I know how hard WE had to work to pay for it.”

Mary Ellen says it’s the thought that counts.

My thought is, I wish she had squirrelled away the money, then bought my gift with that money. When I see my birthday gift on our charge card, it’s not a gift. Or a surprise.

PLEASE, is there anyone who understands what I am saying?

My wife and I no longer bet cash, but chores. “Okay, if I win I’ll cook dinner for a month, Mary Ellen.”

“I hate your cooking. I hope you lose.”

“Okay, if you win, I’ll drive the entire way on our next long trip.”

“Dick, you already do all the driving on long trips. You’re really lousy at this betting thing.”

“Get in the spirit, Mary Ellen. Isn’t wagering kind of fun?”

“I married you,” she said. “That’s the biggest chance I plan to take.”

Germaphobe? Not this parent Commentary by Danielle Wilson I dropped my work badge and keys in a not-yet-flushed toilet today at the high school where I teach. And not the faculty humor restroom, mind you, but one frequented by hormonal teenage girls.

Disgusting, right? The funny thing is, it didn’t faze me one bit. I quickly reached in, fished by contaminated “stuff” out of the bowl, and went about with my day. (I did wash my hands and later wipe the keys down with a Clorox towlette, so don’t freak out. Even I’m not that carefree!)

But I doubt I would have been so nonchalant 20 years ago. As I complain about increased wrinkling, decreased vision and the other yo-yo perils of middle-age, one thing I do certainly appreciate about hitting my 40s is an improved sense of perspective. Little inconveniences and annoyances just don’t stress me out like they used to, and I find it much easier to prioritize the truly important things in life, like family and college basketball (Go Cards!).

I think a lot of this comes from having children. With the number of times I’ve been pooped, peed and vomited on, germs take on a whole ‘nother meaning. I can testify to the classic observation that the first baby always gets the boiled bottles and Drift detergent and the last is lucky to have her pacifier licked after it’s fallen into the sandbox before it gets shoved right back into her adorable, dirt-covered mouth.

Having children also means less time to focus on the meaningless. Can I really be bothered by those who double-dip when I’m racing across town in a mini-van to pick up from Tae Kwon Do after dropping off at jazz before grabbing the eighth gallon of milk for the week? And why should I care if there’s a tiny spot of crud on my restaurant plate if I’m just thankful not to be eating Hamburger Helper for the fourth night in a row?

I actually know people who won’t drink tap water on principle, refuse to use airport restrooms or hotel comforters, and will reject a gloriously-salted McDonald’s French fry because it may or may not have spent a few seconds on the aforementioned mini-van’s floor. Ridiculous, I say! Get over yourself and move on. You’re missing the good stuff for fear of the bad.

Or don’t. I’m old enough now not to care. Sure I need bifocals and am addicted to Retin-A, but I have overcome my hang-ups about cleanliness and mysterious microbes and am ready to embrace life. I don’t want to spend my waning years worrying about or wasting time over E-coli and Ebola. Who’s gonna beat those insane Kentucky Wildcats, now that’s a real issue!

Peace out.

No fear: Ballet Theatre of Indiana to mix Beer & Ballet

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youareurrent.com

Stirling Matheson, 27, the artistic director of Ballet Theatre of Indiana. (Submitted photo)

To Carmel resident Stirling Matheson, many people have the wrong perception about ballet.

“The biggest problem is with ballet Dance is people are intimidated by it,” said Matheson, artistic director for the Ballet Theatre of Indiana. “You don’t need a dance education to go to the ballet and enjoy it. So many people feel like they don’t know what they’re watching and they’re not allowed to have an opinion. You are absolutely allowed to have an opinion, it’s art. The whole point is that should evoke some sort of response in you. What we’re trying to do is present the dance in a more casual way that will help people relax and watch it and get what they will out of it.”

So what better way then for Matheson’s ballet company to hold a Beer & Ballet at the Athenaeum, 401 E. Michigan St., Indianapolis, at 7:30 p.m. March 27.

Sun King Brewing is partnering with the BTI for the program and craft beer will be available throughout the show. Tickets are $20 and $15 for students and

seniors.

“Ballet has a reputation for being pretentious and if you actually meet ballerinas they are not that way at all,” Matheson said. “That (reputation) scares audience members off because they feel like they know what they are doing. They know what they are doing, they are watching a show. If you are a hard-core balletomane, you can talk about tiny intricate details. It’s just like anything.”

The program will include three contemporary choreographed pieces by Matheson and his wife Sabrina, also an artistic director for BTI. There also will be a piece by guest choreographer Cole Companion, a friend of Matheson’s from San Francisco. The Mathesons are both Butler University alums.

Three of their nine professional dancers recently graduated from Butler’s program.

This is the first season for the nonprofit professional ballet company based in Carmel and this will be the second main stage production.

ZACK DE PUE PLAYS BARBER FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 8PM

Maestro Urbański, Concertmaster Zach De Pue and the ISO perform Barber’s Violin Concerto. In addition, the orchestra will perform the world premiere of ISO Principal Trombonist James Beckel’s Brass Concerto.

Mina & the Wondrous Flying Machine, an indie-rock-jazz outfit with a veritable menagerie of musical infusions, will take music the stage at local venue The Warehouse at 254 1st Ave. SW at 8 p.m., March 20. According to founder and namesake Mina Keohane, the audience should expect a sound as distinctive as the group’s name.

“The Wondrous Flying Machine is not a traditional rock band where it’s always the same musicians. We’re all friends, but everyone on the roster is also a professional musician with a million projects of their own,” Keohane said.

“The personnel change based on availability, which brings different sounds and personalities to the songs. I think spontaneity is one of the most magical things about music.”

As the voice and keyboardist of the group, Keohane followed in the footsteps of two musical parents by joining a progressive-rock band in high school, after which she studied jazz composition at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. Her path eventually led back to Indianapolis, where she composes music for commercials, works on the music staff at Carmel United Methodist Church and performs in several bands. A passion to challenge herself and develop as a musician drives all these roles.

“My wish is to write music that is meaningful, uniquely my own, and find an audience that

it affects in a positive way,” Keohane said. “I tend to make some non-standard choices as far as chord progressions and time signatures go. Songwriting is definitely an ever-evolving learning process.”

The band, whose name is inspired by the John Trowbridge poem “Darius Green and his Flying Machine,” dips primarily into progressiverock and jazz, but promises a variety of other flavors including funk, Latin and ska. Such an array is owed to the diverse histories of the upcoming show’s line-up, which will consist of Joel Tucker on guitar, Nick Tucker on upright bass, Josh Silbert on saxophones and Vincent Jackson on drums. With an opening act from heartfelt singer-songwriter Sarah Grain and the family-friendly, intimate listening room of The Warehouse, patrons are in for a magical ride.

Some topics, such as those pertaining to bodily functions and colonoscopies, just don’t seem right for polite conversation body or thoughtful consideration as you trudge through daily obligations. The latter, however, is key to stopping the seconddeadliest cancer to hit Americans: colon cancer.

Many patients live with colon cancer for many years with no symptoms. The disease is highly treatable when identified early, but chances of survival dwindle considerably if caught after it spreads outside the colon.

The linchpin: early screening. In fact, 60 percent of colon cancer could be prevented if everyone underwent screening aged 50 and older, the age group where 90 percent of colon cancer is found.

During a colonoscopy, doctors examine the colon with a flexible tube, looking for pre-cancerous growth. Many patients tell me they didn’t get a colonoscopy because no one told them to, or because they feared the process.

Once patients undergo the test, they find it’s not as difficult or uncomfortable as they thought. If, for whatever reason, a colonoscopy isn’t feasible, clinicians can use other screening

modalities, like a simple stool test, flexible sigmoidoscopy (shorter scope that does not need elaborate colon cleansing) or CT colonography (a series of X-ray scans).

A surprising trend with colon cancer diagnoses is the rise in incidences in people between 20 and 50 years old. Scientists don’t yet understand why, and the data isn’t strong enough to extend screening to everyone, as a result of possible adverse effects. For patients younger than 50, I recommend paying close attention to symptoms like abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits or anemia, as well as risk factors (obesity, smoking, high alcohol consumption) and family history.

Regardless of age, a healthy lifestyle with a fiber-rich diet, no smoking and limited alcohol consumption can go a long way to prevent colon cancer. But don’t forget screening. With a little education, patients find screening can be simple.

Most importantly, it can help us stop cancer.

SimplySkin MedSpa celebrates 10 year anniversary

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com SimplySkin MedSpa in Fishers is a medical spa that offers a wide variety of services for the skin such as facials, chemical celebration peels, Coolsculpting, Botox and more. Local resident Holly Paquin opened SimplySkin in March 2005.

She and her husband Derek are still the owners and recently celebrated the business’s 10 year anniversary with an open house attended by clients and friends.

Holly Paquin explained that her business differs from typical salon or day spa offerings because SimplySkin concentrates on results rather than on just relaxation. “A medical spa blends the best of two worlds, a relaxing spa experience with procedures and expertise found at a doctor’s office,” she said. “Medical estheticians handle the more routine spa therapies, and they also undergo additional training including laser therapies, medical grade peels, non-surgical face lifts, etc.”

SimplySkin can treat anyone and Paquin said now is the time to prepare for summer. “Coolsculpting, which is a non-surgical fat reduction,

is by far our most popular treatment to get ready for swimsuit season,” she stated. “Laser hair removal for bikini, under arms and legs is extremely popular and Photofacial treatments are always popular to get rid of age spots and to help prevent having to wear foundation to the pool.”

Paquin went on to state that she and her husband feel that SimplySkin has been embraced as a local business. Their primary products and services include facials, chemical peels, sun damage removal and other non-invasive treatments.

Over the years the products and services that have enjoyed the most growth are Coolsculpting and the injectables Botox and Juvederm.

SimplySkin has won the Indy A-list Best Facial five years in a row. “Our Simply Sensational Facial is always a favorite,” shared Paquin. “We offer gift certificates online so men don't even have to come in to spoil their wives. They can design, pay and print from home.”

“Women are becoming more proactive about their skin and we have all the tools to help them,” Paquin stated. Visit http://simplyskinmedspa.com for more information.

Scroll: Treasure map or ancient hoax?

Commentary by Don Knebel

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

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

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

www.divittowrites.com

The so-called “Copper Scroll,” now housed in a Jordanian museum, identifies hidden caches of almost unimaginable quantities Travel of gold and silver. Although some scholars believe the scroll is a 2000-year-old hoax, would-be Indiana Joneses keep digging.

After local Bedouins found the original Dead Sea Scrolls in caves near Jericho in 1946, archaeologists searched 250 nearby caves. In 1952, they found two scrolls in what became known as “Cave 3,” made of high-grade copper instead of the parchment and papyrus of scrolls found earlier. Because the metal had long since corroded and become brittle, the scrolls could not be unrolled. A laboratory in Manchester, England, eventually opened the scrolls by cutting them lengthwise and then separating the sheets. The translated Hebrew text, written in script unlike that of the other scrolls, showed the two scrolls were part of a single scroll that had separated before being rolled. What became known as the “Copper Scroll” lists 64 locations where specified quantities of gold, silver and other treasures can be found. Some experts have estimated the total amount of gold and silver to be more than five million ounces, worth billions of dollars at current prices.

Scholars are divided about who made the Copper Scroll and what, if any, treasures it de-

scribes. Some believe the scroll identifies items from the Second Temple in Jerusalem, hidden before the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. Others argue the items were accumulated by first century Essenes living in Qumran, near where the scroll was found. Still others claim the treasures came from the First Temple, destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. Finally, some scholars believe the Copper Scroll repeated an ancient fable. Fable or not, explorers from around the world have sought fame and fortune using the ambiguous descriptions in the Copper Scroll, so far digging up only dirt.

Because Jordan financed the expedition that found the Copper Scroll, for years it was displayed in the Jordanian Archaeological Museum.

The scroll recently moved to a much larger display in the newly opened Jordan Museum in Amman, where it is among the museum’s most popular items.

Rearranging floor plan creates full bath, laundry room Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING LAUNDRY ROOM: Located in the Smokey Knoll subdivision in Carmel, this 28-year-old tri-level BLUEPRINT FOR home had a first IMPROVEMENT floor guest bedroom with only a half bathroom nearby. As a result, guests were forced to climb two sets of stairs to take a shower.

Although functional, the adjacent laundry room was outdated and in need of a fresh look. The homeowners wanted to convert the half bath to a full bath to make guests feel more comfortable in their home.

COMBINING ROOMS: In order to create enough space to add a full bath for guests, the original powder bath and laundry room were combined into one space. The existing guest bedroom doorway was terminated and relocated to the hallway wall. The interior hall walls were modified allowing the extra hallway space needed to expand the new bathroom/laundry room.

NATURAL LIGHT: The window from the existing laundry room helps flood the expanded space with abundant natural light. The location of the shower and the frameless glass enclosure also takes advantage of the light creating a warm and inviting experience for guests.

MATERIAL SELECTIONS: “During the design phase, our material selections were inspired

Before

by a very clean and fresh look.” Large “Madison Silver” 12-by-24-inch tile was installed in a brick pattern making the room appear larger. The shower features Eastern Blanco 8-by-24-inch wall tile in a staggered pattern while glass subway tile accents the niche.

The laundry area features storage space for laundry detergents and supplies, a stainless steel rack for hang-drying clothes, dedicated laundry hampers and a Cambria quartz countertop in a “Torquay” color for folding.

The same glass subway tile installed in the shower was used for the backsplash for a

After

clean and consistent look.

FINAL RESULT: “We love the brightness and elegance of the new laundry/bathroom the most. The remodel has dramatically improved our guests’ experience and it certainly makes doing laundry fun!”
