Indy Connect hosts transit workshops

By Sadie Hunter • sadie@youarecurrent.com In 2017, Indy Connect has the goal of educating central Inditransportation ana about transit, and recently, a series of workshops in Greenwood, Carmel and Lawrence were the start.

From March 9 to 11, residents and stakeholders from the three areas met for workshops where Michelle Poyourow, a senior associate with Jarrett Walker and Associates, a transit-planning firm based out of Portland, Ore., discussed how communities plan and talk about transit.

“What we really specialize in is helping communities have very clear conversations about what they want in their transit service,” Poyourow said. “One thing that is a surprise to people is that you can be pro-transit and want very different goals from transit than your pro-transit neighbors. So there’s some conflicting goals in what transit tries to serve, and what we’re talking to people about (at these workshops) is we’re helping them learn what those conflicting goals are, understand why they arise, and then think about how their own values can inform what they think transit should be.”

The three workshops were modeled exactly the same. Those who attended played a

game to design a transit plan for a fictional town, Prairieville, where green, blue and red transit lines were used representing one bus and one driver per line but arriving at points at different time intervals – every hour, half hour and 15 minutes, respectively. “(Participants) notice conflicts while working on a fictional city, and then they can apply that knowledge and understanding to

The Zionsville Cultural District wants Hoosiers to walk all over its latest project.

Two poets, one adult and contest one youth, will have their poems stamped in cement through the Step-On-Us Sidewalk Poetry contest. The adult category is open to all Indiana residents.

“Kids have been writing their name in concrete forever,” said Donna Monday, a board member with the Zionsville Cultural District who is a published poet. “It sounds so simple until you start to do it.”

Monday brought the idea to the Cultural District board last fall and has been working with the Zionsville Street Dept., town government and legal counsel to bring the concept to fruition. She first heard about the idea through a rejected proposal for an Indianapolis park. Monday thought it would work well in Zionsville. A similar project has been successful in St. Paul, Minn., and in other U.S. cities, but this project is unique to Indiana. The

conversations about their own community,” Poyourow said.

“A good transit plan is a plan that matches what the community wants, and every community’s values are different,” said Cindy Benedict, project manager for Indy Connect Engagement. “There’s a transit plan for central Indiana, and the way that the state law was done, all of the planning and funding has to be local, either at the township level or the county level. It’s challenging because good transit planning needs to be regional because we all cross these boundaries all the time.

What we try to do through Indy Connect is sort of plan regionally, but we have to go in with that perspective and do it locally. What we’re finding is that where transit works best is where there’s density closest to Marion County, and the farther out you get, the less need they have for transit, which isn’t to say they have none, but what it means is they don’t really want to pay an income tax.

So in most of the donut counties, they’re taking the township approach.”

Benedict said through the rest of 2017, Indy Connect will be in Hamilton County and Greenwood hosting community listening sessions.

“This year is a year of education,” she said.

Student leadership summit to be held this summer

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com On June 27 and 28, students in the central Indiana area will have the opportunity to learn from local education business leaders at a leadership summit called “Vision of a Leader.” The program will be held at Holy Cross School by an Indianapolis nonprofit called C.L.A.S.S. Education. The summit will teach children in grades four through eight the qualities of a leader and how to apply them.

“We have served the educational community for over 25 years primarily working with schools and districts on best practices. We look at brain research and learning research and how it applies in the classroom,” JOC Executive Director Jeff Pedersen said. “We have done a leadership summit in the northern part of Indiana for the last four years with great success. Now we're moving it to central Indiana.”

Students will work in small groups with educators from around the state. They also

FHS senior installs ‘Stop Bullying’ benches

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers High School senior Katelynn Buchan was working on receiving her Girl Scout Gold Award when giving back a class project allowed the two to intersect.

The GSGA is the highest honor a girl scout can earn and is a service-based award.

Buchan’s class project also was service based, so she wanted to combine the two.

Her platform was to raise awareness and prevent bullying in school. Buchan said she had never been bullied but had seen other students go through it. Her idea was to install a bench at Fishers High School reading “Stop Bullying.”

“I used to be such a quiet kid. I was the kid that sat in the back and said nothing.

So, I did this for those kids that don’t have a voice,” Buchan said. “I wanted to raise awareness, and to let others know it isn’t okay. Bullying needs to be stopped.”

Buchan worked to raise money to buy the bench. She raised funds by asking area

businesses for donations and holding fundraising events. She ended up not only raising enough money for one bench but five.

She chose to place them at the schools she attended.

“I have one bench at New Britton Elementary, one bench at Riverside Junior High and two benches at Fishers High School. I have one bench I’m going to see if I can put in Riverside Middle School, but I haven’t really figured that out yet,” said Buchan.

No exceptions to absolutes?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Commentary by Terry Anker Sometimes, we have spring in February and winter in March. We have rightly come to expect that morning follows the night just as warm weather ultimately replaces the cold – until the whole process starts anew.

So when things don’t roll out in the order we might like, it causes a bit of disruption.

We angst about when and why. We gather and take note of the celestial exception.

The television weather personalities command center stage hoping to calm our expectations and remind us of “seasonal averages” and the eventual coming of the thaw. Yet, aren’t they stating the obvious?

Is there any among us who has made the trip around the sun a few times who hasn’t come to know the basics of meteorology? Why do we require the reminder and reassurance?

Certainly, life boasts its share of absolutes. Just as surely as we are born into this world, we will, one day hopefully very distant from now, leave it. The rule applies to us, each and every. Yet, many of these inevitabilities arrive not on demand but on average. Our expectation in hoping for the pattern to prove itself can bring with it some anxiety. Our experience is our guide, but we have evolved to rely upon our immediate senses as our first line of defense.

When the calendar says March but the thermometer still reads January, why do we struggle to reconcile between our expectation in the immediate term and our confidence over the long? Can we rely upon our experience to accurately predict the future? Or, is each day an opportunity for exception?

REA D ER ’ S V I E W Marching for a cause

Editor, I took Current to read something enjoyable (love Danielle), before I fell off to sleep. Instead, unfortunately, I read the letter from an angry reader (published in the Feb. 28 edition of Current in Fishers) that disturbed me greatly. She said all she saw of the Women’s March was a vagina outfit. I’m so sorry. How long has she been losing her eyesight? Did she not see the women, men and children marching not only in the U.S. but all around the world?

As a mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, teacher and volunteer worker, I shuddered in disbelief when I read the disparaging and insensitive remarks in her letter.

I care so much for the women and all life on this planet, and as a woman I hope she would care, too. This world needs more love and acceptance of others that are different, and peaceful actions such as the march. We need to include and embrace people of all religions, creed and race with compassion – not hate.

If I could have, I would have been marching right along beside them (and yes, my three Republican family members who marched, too). Marching for a cause. Marching in unity for a better world for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

Jay Luan Henson, Fishers

Q U O T E O F T HE W EEK A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours.

– J. B. Priestley

I’ve been writing for Current for 10 years, and though I’m not allowed to rerun past columns, I want to give you a humor taste of all the wondrous stories I’ve told.

When I first began, my kids were all younger than 8 and I provided full-time daycare for a 2-year old nephew. Suffice it to say, I had plenty of material with which to work. Articles on the horrors of potty training, constipation woes, crashed minivans and the parenting mistakes of women I judged from afar dominated my diatribes.

My favorites included a Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure-Alamo-style tour of our mini-van and how in a house full of preschoolers, play dates actually subtracted from the total number of kids I had to supervise (I literally proved how three plus two equaled one). Now my minions are all teenagers, which certainly comes with its own set of fun, but not near the comedy gold of little ones!

Also early in my career, my husband Doo and I were still navigating the best way to manage parenting, marriage, his job and my feeling stuck at home all day with nothing but the monotony of motherhood for company. This resulted in a whole slew of stories about what essentially boiled down to the stupidity of men. Highlights from this era would be the raccoon-in-the-attic ode to “Coal Miner’s Daughter” and the retelling of an epic fight outside a Sheraton at the 2012 NCAA Final Four (he cheered for UK!). We’re older and wiser these days, so few marital moments meet the criteria for becoming a full-on column rant. My apologies. If only I could rehash!

Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie In order to reach a daily 10,000-step goal, my wife continually checks her Fitbit. The other day she was shaking humor her arms wildly back and forth while watching TV. “What are you doing?” I asked.

“Very unfair … bad,” she said, which sounded just like a Trump tweet. “It only registers steps when your arms are moving. When I pushed the cart around Costco for an hour, I didn’t get any credit. So now I am trying to fool the Fitbit.”

I was shocked. Mary Ellen is the most honest person in America.

I am one of those lucky people who can eat what I want, lounge around the house all day and not gain an ounce. New research in the New England Journal of Medicine might explain why.

Scientists recruited 10 overweight and 10 lean people and embedded sensors in their undergarments to record their activity.

It wasn’t hard to get people to volunteer.

Just the idea of sensors in their underwear sounded like fun. The study found that thin people spend a lot of time puttering around, although not necessarily doing

anything constructive. That’s me.

My life has always been a moving experience. I eat standing up. I shake my leg up and down whenever I’m sitting. I check my email 20 times a day, going up and down the basement steps each time. I check the regular mailbox five times a day, even on Sunday.

When I watch TV, I never lounge on the couch. That’s when I look for my glasses, my keys or my iPhone. I get up and check the fridge a dozen times, in case any new deli meats have magically appeared. I am the poster child for hyperactivity. Humming birds gather at my living room window for inspiration.

My mother, my wife and my doctor have always told me that my antsy behavior would result in a shorter and less healthful life.

When I was growing up, my mother used say: “If you don’t relax and calm down you won’t live as long.” That advice gave me the jitters.

Your GuiDe to feeling refreshed this spring March 21, 2017

8 tips to freshen up your home décor this spring Commentary by Peggy Whitaker Lucas

Liven up any room with new pillows or pillowcases. (Submitted photos)

With spring just around the corner, it’s time to freshen your home and transition to the beautiful warm season ahead. Try one or decorating all of these simple designer tips to easily refashion your space.

Perk up your pillows Update a room with new throw pillows that complement the colors of the soon-to-be budding trees and flowers. Be sure to mix whimsical patterns, airy fabrics, a variety of textures and sizes for a truly designer look. Same goes for throw blankets.

Swap out bedding Put away that thick, woven duvet cover filled with a heavy down insert and replace it with a lightweight quilt or coverlet. Add color with a bed scarf, pillows and bedside table accessories. Add a layer of warmth for those chilly nights in early spring with a lightweight comforter. Don’t forget your guestrooms.

Look down Add a rug to your foyer and a coordinating hallway runner with a cheery color or one made of a light natural fiber. With warmer days ahead you’re sure to be spending more time outside, which means tracking dirt in, so don’t forget a fun springthemed doormat.

Freshen your floral I always recommend clients use at least one arrangement of fresh floral in their foyer, kitchen and bedroom for an added layer of life and texture.

Wow your windows Consider replacing window treatments to complement the season. Opt for soft colors or light and airy fabrics. If you’re not ready to invest in something completely new, try adding a decorative trim to existing panels for a fun touch of color and playful texture.

Wash and dry Add fun hand towels to the powder room and tea towels to the kitchen that reflect an upcoming holiday like Easter. For an added spring sensation, invigorate your senses by filling your soap dispensers with scented hand soaps. Mimic one of the

most aromatic seasons of the year with cotton, citrus and jasmine.

Lighten up Minimize the amount of accessories in a space to open up a room. Look for places to incorporate visually lightweight pieces like woven baskets, colored glass and pastel-hued ceramics. Be sure to use nature-inspired vase and bowl fillers.

Artistic touches Treat yourself to a piece of new art. You’ll be amazed by the impact it will make in your home.

Look for a piece that’s timeless to you, works with your style and incorporates peppy colors. I always remind clients to change the photos in their frames seasonally. This time of year use family photos taken outside or on vacation, those with bright colors, scenery or anything found in nature.

Dressing your home with these interior and exterior ideas is sure to breathe new life into your retreat. Always choose pieces that you love, and remember, when it comes to accents, don’t be afraid to infuse seasonal colors.

Z’Green Fest set for April 23 in Zionsville

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

“Growing Greener” is the theme for the 11th annual Z’Green Fest.

Erin Czajkowski, chair of Z’Green Fest family fun and president of Friends of the Library, said the educational programs and activities will emphasize how to grow gardens to attract bees and other valuable pollinators as well as how to grow greener by encouraging community members to more fully explore nature and engage in sustainable living practices.

Z’Green Fest, a free event for all ages, is set from 2 to 5 p.m. April 23 at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library, 250 N. 5th St. It will be outside in the library parking lot, weather permitting. A program for adults and children begins at 1:30 p.m. inside the library. The festival is set to celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day. Earth Day is April 22. Arbor Day is traditionally the last Friday in April.

The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Library and Friends of Zion Nature Center.

There will be live music, face painting, crafts and fairy house building.

“Instead of a cake walk, we’ll have a book walk to win a book,” Czajkowski said. “We have 18 exhibitors (educational booths) at this point, and one thing I’m excited about this year (is) we have seven new organizations that will be exhibiting what they do.”

There will be a native plant giveaway, butterfly weed plants, for families. It is sponsored by Boone County Master

Taking hints from Mother Nature Commentary by Vicky Earley “I simply adore February in Indiana,” are words never said.

“I so wish I could vacation in Indiana in March,” is a dream never decorating dreamt.

Nope, Indiana in late winter can be gray and gloomy.

Gray on gray is not a natural human state. Cool gray hues simply do not smile, nor do they engender warmth.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that I receive a call almost weekly from a discouraged homeowner who has invested heavily in the trend of dusky slate paired with an ashen gray. Walls are gray, furnishings are gray and the mood is gray.

The common lament is, “It just doesn’t feel right. Please make this a home!”

Just like the first crocus that pierces the winter blues, shots of color are the perfect remedy to the cold character of gray.

Don’t get me wrong, gray is an outstanding backdrop. When an entire space is a backdrop, nothing stands out. Nothing sings and nothing is special.

Take that big gray sofa and pair it with vibrant yellow pillows and you have that crocus peeking through the frozen ground.

Add a couple of chairs in a vibrant yellow patterned fabric and, just the way spring warms the earth, the room starts to come to life. Throw in some interesting textures and metals and the room is in full bloom!

If in doubt, consider how nature plays with color, Pale blush paired with Cityscape by Sherwin Williams is a chic, sophisticated look

that takes its inspiration from driftwood that lands next to an exquisite conch shell.

Pair Collingwood with a leaf green and you have the atmosphere of an old barn ready to fall into ruin with ivy clinging to the boards.

When asked exactly what colors offer CPR to gray-on-gray, the answer is “any.”

Any color, vibrant or pastel, is a candidate for pairing with gray!

When faced with the “February in Indiana, I can’t wait for spring” decorating dilemma, try thinking like like Mother Nature and return color to your life with pillows, accessories, art and accent furnishings!

Organic plots now available

By Heather Collins editorial@youarecurrent.com Organic garden plots are now available at the Carmel Clay Schools Plots to Plates Community Gardens on the gardens grounds of Carmel Middle School.

Each of the 98 organic plots measure 4 feet by 15 feet and are available to all Carmel residents and CCS employees. Plots can be leased for $10 per year and are limited to one per mailing address.

The Carmel Clay Schools Green Team recommends plot sharing. The goal of the Garden Team is to help lead the Carmel community on the path toward sustainable food systems. In 2011, the team collaborated with CCS to create the community gardens as part of their mission to promote sustainable practices.

“This is the ultimate in local food,” said MaryEllen St. Angelo, core committee member of the CCS Plots to Plates Community Gardens.

CCS Green Team members and master gardeners are available to advise and assist plot renters. The common areas are available to everyone, and a self-guided tour map is available. The property includes

a pollination station, a compost bin station, a rain garden and a water catchment structure.

Last year, College Wood Elementary first-grade students planted various seeds, including basil, peppers and tomatoes, that were later harvested for the Carmel High School cafeteria. Next year, food grown from the organic gardens will be used in the Carmel Middle School cafeteria.

Requests must be submitted by May 1.

Carmel Middle School is at 300 S. Guilford Rd. The community garden is behind the tennis courts.

Chickpea salad wrap

By Sara Baldwin editorial@youarecurrent.com Get into the spirit of spring with this fresh and healthy recipe that caters to a vegan diet but can help incorrecipe porate fresh veggies and high protein into any lifestyle.

Ingredients: 2 cups cooked chickpeas (one 9-ounce can), 2 stalks celery, 1 carrot, 1/4 of a medium red onion, 3 tablespoons vegan mayonaise (I use Follow Your Heart Soy-Free Vegenaise), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (I use Pink Himalayan Sea Salt), Butter lettuce, Tortilla wrap (I use Ole Xtreme Wellness Spinach & Herbs Wrap) Instructions: Thoroughly rinse and drain the chickpeas. Put the chickpeas into a food processor. You can also use a blender on “chop” mode or a lower speed, if you don’t mind an uneven texture. Finely chop the celery and onion. Peel and chop the carrot. Add to blender or food processor.

If you are using a food processor, add the vegenaise, mustard, lemon juice and apple

cider vinegar to the mixture and blend. If you are using a blender, pour the mixture out and stir in the rest of the ingredients by hand. Add the salt, adding more to taste if necessary. Lay out the tortilla and add the lettuce. Spread the chickpea salad on top, then tightly roll. Cut in the middle and serve.

For a gluten-free option, use a glutenfree tortilla wrap or gluten-free bread. This salad is also yummy when eaten by itself or with crackers!

Meyer Najem celebrates 30 years

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Meyer Najem, a construction management firm based in Fishers, began in 1987.

It was the idea of Karl Meyer growth and Anthony Najem, who were fraternity brothers at Purdue University. Now, 30 years later, Meyer Najem continues to make an impact on the local and national level.

“Both (Meyer and Najem) are still actively involved with the company and have created a culture that is really second to none,” Director of Marketing Cynthia Tucker said. “We moved into the Nickel Plate District building two years ago. We built the building, and it’s very light and open, and it just creates a really good atmosphere I feel is really consistent with the company and brand. We like to work with clients that are fun and on projects that are fun, and you really feel that when you come into the office.”

In addition to working on local projects such as the Fishers Fire Dept. building and library, the Ruth’s Chris at Ironworks in Indianapolis, Riverview Health Women’s Pavilion and more, Meyer Najem has spread throughout the nation regarding higher

commercial projects like Four Day Ray, and those commercial projects have led us into other markets throughout the U.S.,” Tucker said.

In addition to expanding its market reach, Meyer Najem also is actively involved in other aspects of the community, specifically philanthropy, through its annual Swing into Giving golf outing and other outreaches.

“Everyone is very civically minded. We do a lot of things philanthropic. We have a philanthropy committee meet once a month and decide which organization we are going to get involved in, whether it’s financially or just our time and our talents,” Tucker said.

The company also assists the city's involvement in art.

“Meyer Najem has a long history with the City of Fishers dating back to the mid-1990s when it was surrounded by corn and bean fields,” Najem stated in an email to Current.

“We are blessed to be here as an advocate, employer and an integral part of the city’s vision to move forward with its synergistic approach to connecting businesses and families to its downtown."

ATTENTION, STUDENTS! Send a 100-word essay (along with your school, name, address and phone number) about why your teacher should win Edge Guys Heating & Cooling/Current in Fishers honor, to teacher@youarecurrent.com.

The deadline for nominations is 3/24/17.

A little more than a year ago, Treyvon Summer woke in the middle of the night with extreme pain and recovery began to lose mobility of his legs. Then his lungs slowed down. After what doctors originally believed was internalized anxiety, the family discovered the 13-year-old was suffering from transverse myelitis. Within hours, he was paralyzed from the neck down.

“It was a miracle that his cognitive ability wasn’t impacted and his breathing was able to be restored,” said Maranda Summer, Treyvon’s mother. “It was four weeks before he could move anything.

Near the end of the fourth week, his right arm muscle started twitching and he could move a couple more muscles.

"He was transported to a rehabilitation institute in Chicago and was an inpatient there for 12 weeks. He got a little more motor-skill use in his upper body.”

Transverse myelitis is a rare neuroimmune disease. The FIshers family never discovered why Treyvon contracted it.

One third of patients recover fully, one

third recover partly and one third never recover. Maranda is confident Treyvonwill make a full recovery and someday walk again.

“We think he has a lot further to go and a lot of strengthening he needs to do,” Maranda said. “We researched this like crazy, reached out to other people that have it.”

The family recently spent time at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, which works closely with John Hopkins.

White Kitchens – Anything but Boring

By David Decker Bright, airy, & timeless, it’s no wonder why white remains the most popular kitchen cabinet color of choice. Here are 4 ways to add a bold statement to a neutral kitchen.

• Dynamic Countertops Whether it’s a contrastingly dark color or a white stone with a dramatic vein, selecting an eye-catching countertop can add depth and dimension to the kitchen.

• Intricate Backsplashes White cabinets allow for an endless number of backsplash designs. Unique shapes, patterns, & colors can be used to create a striking focal point. Want to keep the kitchen neutral? Consider using white dimensional tile and let the shadows do the talking.

• Two-Toned Cabinetry Afraid of the space looking too stark & boring? Mix and match cabinet colors! Set the island apart with a soft gray, a vibrant blue, or a warm deep stain. Don’t have an island? Put some color on the base cabinets and keep the wall cabinets white. Oftentimes homeowners fear that two-toned

Sinus and allergy seminar — Riverview Health will host a sinus and allergy seminar from 6 to 7 p.m. March 22 at Riverview Health in the Krieg DeVault Conference Room. Dr. Michael Agostino, a board-certified ear, nose and throat specialist, will discuss common sinus and allergy issues and the latest treatments. A light dinner will be served.

Pint Cycle, Garden Party partner

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Pint Cycle has made its pedal print throughout the City of Fishers the past year, and the BYOB, drinkdrinks and-bike program is now partnering with new Indianapolis business Garden Party Botanical Hard Sodas.

Garden Party, launched in November, received the Beverage Industry Magazine’s 2016 Innovation of the Year award.

“This was not something we applied for. It was a genuine recognition for what we’ve created, which is super cool,” cofounder Erin Edds said. “The product itself is a ready-to-drink crafted cocktail with 8 percent alcohol. It is 100 percent all natural, and we launched with two flavors.

Violet is a lemon soda with lavender and blackberry, and Ruby is spicy ginger infused with pomegranate and hibiscus.”

Garden Party is based in Indianapolis and distributed by Monarch Beverages.

Pint Cycle plans to offer samples of the beverage for no additional cost during its tours. It also is partnering with Brixx Wood Fired Pizza, 8594 E. 116th St., to create special cocktails using the Violet and Ruby drinks.

“In all honesty, we kind of stumbled across each other a little bit over social media and Twitter, and then Stephen (Edds) and Erin reached out to me proactively and kind of wanted to introduce themselves to me and see what all we did on the Pint Cycle and see if there are opportunities for collaboration,” Pint Cycle

founder Chris Hutchinson said. “It’s a really impressive award they have won in such a short period of time, and I wanted to make sure we could highlight that.”

The partnership will begin sometime after March. For the sampling option, a representative from Garden Party will provide drinks to the riders.

“Brixx is really excited to have this opportunity to be, right now, the only tour stop we have offering these cocktails in Fishers,” Hutchinson said. “We are also looking at trying to do some things around the Friday summer concerts and see if we can maybe highlight those cocktails and highlight the sodas themselves during concerts and things along those

lines. It’s pretty cool that we now have these three entities all working together to try and tell a bigger story. I think that the story is obviously we have this really cool, innovative beverage here in central Indiana tied to a fun adult outdoor activity and is also connected to the more popular and fastest growing bars and restaurants in Fishers.”

The four-pack of 12 oz. cans retail for an average of $9.99. They are available at Big Red Liquors.

“We are just really excited to be involved on a community level with a city like Fishers,” Edds said.
