Special council meeting proclamation: Fishers is an inclusive city

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com On April 1, at a special Fishers City Council meeting, Mayor Scott Fadness presented a proclamation, which states, in part, that Fishers is an inclusive city, tolerance proud of its growing diversity and intolerant of discrimination of any kind. The council unanimously approved the proclamation in a meeting that lasted less than 15 minutes.

“We contemplated a proclamation that sends a clear message to the state, the country, to the business community and to our residents that we are open for business and open for all,” said Fadness. “It is a conversation that is going on in many cities. This is a real challenge toward our vision as a smart, vibrant entrepreneurial city. The city of Fishers does not tolerate discrimination.”

Fadness read the proclamation and asked council members to vote. Eight council members spoke before the vote was taken, including:

President Pete Peterson thanked Mayor Fadness for his leadership. “This city is based on openness and tolerance and I want to make sure that continues for economic sustainability and growth,” said Peterson.

Todd Zimmerman drew from faith and family in reaching a decision about the proclamation. “My faith speaks about loving others. My faith lives out, my responsibility is to teach my children to live in a world that is diverse. I will be in full support of this proclamation…because every person matters,” said Zimmerman.

Selina Stoller thanked the mayor for leading the proclamation. “I feel it’s very sad that we have to be here today to do this. As a civilized country we need to be open. Our country was built on accepting people of different diversities, and the community of Fishers needs to keep moving forward with that,” said Stoller.

The proclamation passed unanimously. Go to www.CurrentinFishers.com to read the ordinance.

Boxer Lewis fights after round with Crohn’s disease

By Chris Bavender • news@currentinfishers.com It wasn’t how Kyle Lewis envisioned his senior year - sick - facing potential surgery fight and missing school - a lot of school.

“At the time there wasn’t much that bothered me because I was so sick-- too sick to even be frustrated,” Lewis said. “But once I started feeling better and listening to my friends talking about who deciding where to go to college or who to room with or who their prom date was, that was hard. I was just trying to figure out how to make it through the day.”

Lewis was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in May 2013. He spent a year on medication before doctors decided in April 2014 that surgery was his best option.

And, for a kid who was the Golden Gloves state champ when he was 15, and who had aspirations of being an MMA fighter, it wasn’t news he wanted to hear according to his father, Todd Lewis.

“He was very athletic - a great student - and I didn’t have to worry about him drinking or doing drugs because if he wasn’t at home or school, he was at the gym,” Todd said. “What we went through as family I wouldn’t wish on anyone. To see your very healthy, very active, highly intelligent son diminish before your eyes was awful.”

Doctors told Kyle he wouldn’t be able to box again. That just made him more determined to prove them wrong.

“The quickest way to get me to do something is to tell me I can’t,” he said. “I look back on this as something I really loved and nothing can make me feel the way it felt knocking someone down or pinning them. I thought it would help me more mentally than physically to get over the surgery and everything I lost throughout being sick.”

So, he’s back at the gym. Training and ready to lace up the boxing gloves again. His first sanctioned fight was in February. He will take on the Golden Gloves Tournament in the next few weeks.

Open for business and open for all Commentary by Mayor Scott Fadness We are in a race. It may not be evident to the average Fishers resident who goes about working hard, raising their family and diversity enjoying their lives. But, make no mistake, there is an ongoing race for our community to be economically viable for the future. It requires your local elected officials to stay focused every day on creating an environment that will attract the next generation of talented workers while providing a favorable tax climate to businesses and residents.

Much has been said and written with regard to the recent passing of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. I am not supportive of the new law.

My value system is counter to anything that could potentially degrade human dignity or enable inequality. Regardless of my personal beliefs around diversity and equality, I think we have to act in terms of what is best for the long term sustainability of our community and our state.

The 21st century economy is fueled by innovation and ideas. Its engine is the creative class in our workforce and it needs the appropriate mix of people, place, and economics to thrive. As I outlined in my state of the City, there are several key initiatives underway to address critical issues and unique opportunities in advancing our community: • Revitalization of our older neighborhoods • A comprehensive plan for our community

• Further development of Launch Fishers and our entrepreneurial culture • The development of a comprehensive solution to a growing mental health issue I am unabashedly optimistic about our future.

But a financially sustainable community is not a guaranteed outcome. We need to remain focused on our goal of being a smart, vibrant, and entrepreneurial city. Every public policy decision needs to be examined through the lens of whether or not the policy furthers our progress toward our end goal. After recent conversations with Fishers’ current and future business leaders, it is evident to me that in order to further our vision of an entrepreneurial city, we must foster and project a culture of inclusiveness.

That is why I am asking our City Council to pass a proclamation calling on all residents, businesses, and government agencies to embrace a culture of acceptance and tolerance, to celebrate diversity, and to reject discrimination.

These are challenging times and difficult discussions. Although the legality and morality of actions at the state level will play out in the months and years to come, my job is to ensure that the next generation of leadership in our community inherits a stronger city than it is today. That’s why I believe we need to send a strong message that Fishers is open for business and open for all.

RE A D ER S ’ V I E W S

Residents like barriers to guard against vehicle noise levels Editor, Two meetings were held recently concerning the I-69 expansion and the noise barriers that would possibly be constructed due to the expansion.

I live in Whispering Woods, and we only learned of a meeting on March 17 through our management company, who learned about it from another neighborhood.

To the best of my knowledge, no one in Whispering Woods received a direct mailing advising them of this meeting, even though our neighborhood is adjacent to I-69.

While the two lane expansion would impact our neighborhood; not only from noise levels; but also could very possibly impact the value and resale of of our homes.

Yes, I-69 was there when we all moved into our homes; but a number of us thought a noise barrier would eventually be built; especially when they expand I-69.

Increased traffic; especially

trucks would increase noise, this additional lane when completed will bring this traffic noise closer to our neighborhood.

It’s not only directly adjacent to I-69 --- I hear noise in my bedroom; especially from trucks as they go under the 126th bridge, as I-69 curves there. And there is undeveloped land between my home and curve there; nothing to stop the noise.

I also understand Fishers is not in favor of these barriers, which I understand around businesses; however, there are no businesses from the 126 street overpass up to 210 exit; only residential.

As you drive around the city of Indianapolis you see more and more noise barriers; and I feel INDOT has been too quick to rule out the building of noise barriers, between traffic, and the homes of tax payers of Hamilton County Residents.

Forum will focus on heroin battle

obituary

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Hamilton County Sheriff Mark Bowen said the county is not immune to rise in heroin use in Indiana. drugs To raise awareness, there will be a free forum for families, students and community members from 7 to 9 p.m. on April 21 at the Carmel Clay Public Library. The concept for the forum came from five class members from the Hamilton County Leadership Academy.

Speakers include Hamilton County/Boone County Task Force members, political leaders and those affected by the drug. State Sen. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis), one of the speakers, will talk about the overall heroin epidemic that Indiana is experiencing.

“It’s a very inexperienced drug,” Merritt said.

“It’s highly addictive and we’re working on saving people that mistakingly overdose. Last year’s lifeline law that added in EMTs can cary Naloxone and Narcan as an overdose antidote. We allowed first responders last year to have it. This year we have a bill to allow civilians to have it and administer it.”

Merritt said every community is faced with this crisis.

“We’re trying to bring it out into the open so we can solve it,” Merritt said.

Merritt said a hit of heroin can be purchased for about $5 now and it’s readily available.

“It flows through all ages,” Merritt said. “I’ve talked to 28,000 kids in the last three years.

I talk to them about sexting, texting through driving, bath salts, suicide as well as heroin. My concentration has been on the Narcan for those who suffer an overdose as well as kids making good decisions when it comes to drugs.”

Gina Bardach, the Executive Director of a foundation called Hope over Heroin, knows the plight of heroin addiction well. Her son, Brandon Villa, is a recovering addict.

“It was never spoke about, always swept under the rug,” Bardach stated, in referring to how many overlook drug problems in the schools.

Her organization’s advocacy team testified this year for Sen. Merritt to help pass SB-406.

Growing population brings variety of approaches to shared beliefs

By Beth Taylor • beth@youarecurrent.com

According to city-data.com, 43 percent of the population of Fishers identifies as religious. Many faiths are present in the growing community, now with a population of over cover story 80,000 residents. Although Christianity is practiced by the majority, other beliefs are also practiced in the fast-growing city. Three local places of worship, seemingly contrasting, offer the same welcoming comfort to those who attend services.

St. George Orthodox Christian Church St. George Orthodox Christian Church was established in 1926

by Syrian immigrants. The parish ministers to Christians from diverse backgrounds. “We have a tremendous diversity from the very traditional Orthodox lands,” said V. Rev. Father Nabil L. Hanna, pastor. Roughly one-third of the parishioners are from Middle Eastern Orthodox backgrounds, one-third are from Russian or Greek backgrounds and one-third have Roman Catholic, Protestant or no prior religious backgrounds.

The church relocated to Fishers from its location on Sherman Drive in Indianapolis to accommodate its parishioner-base shift to Hamilton County. After beginning the search for land in 1998, the property on top of the hill on 116th Street was purchased in 2005.

“Construction began in September of 2012, and November 24, 2013 was our first liturgy,” Hanna said. “The first service was glorious. We had over 600 people. We would love it if we had them every Sunday and feast day.” Hanna expects parishioner numbers to grow as the community grows.

Over 15 nationalities are represented by the parishioners at St. George. “Diversity makes us stronger--it’s about conviction,” said Hanna. Unlike Roman Catholic priests, Orthodox priests are usually married. “It’s not a doctrinal difference, it’s a practical difference,” said Hanna, who is married and has three children. It’s a policy, so it’s not as big of a difference as one might think.”

In the Orthodox Christian Church, women are not celebrants of the service. “We’re structured as a family, we value motherhood and fatherhood, so it’s the father’s role to lead the family in prayer,” said Hanna. The orthodox worship service is focused on God and the Holy Trinity. The service lasts one and a half hours, and Orthodox Christians stand during most of their worship service. Sundaybest dress is expected.

Crosspoint Crosspoint is a nondenominational Christian church lead by Pastor Curt Walters. “We’re a puzzle piece in the greater church community; we’re kind of edgy, kind of rock ‘n roll—not everybody’s in to that,” said Walters who is the son and grandson of pastors. Walters hadn’t planned on becoming a pastor but decided to explore ministry after feeling called by God after his second year at Anderson University. “God really gave us a burden to create a church for our friends who had checked out on church,” he said. “Our main goal is to help people see Jesus for who he really is.”

Walters wants Crosspoint to be the place where people seek God at their own pace. “We are constantly trying to change the perception of what church should be,” said Walters. “Church has gotten a lot of things attached to it that aren’t central to Jesus but that are religious.”

Most members of Crosspoint have some kind of church experience. “We’re constantly looking to innovate, constantly looking for what it means for Jesus to be relevant today and we want to be a church where it’s okay to not have it all together,” he said. Before the service begins, the house band performs in The Venue, the sanctuary room with theatre seating and cup holders. Church-goers are casually dressed.

After seven years of holding church at Fall Creek Intermediate School, the Crosspoint building opened in the fall of 2014. “It’s been

a 14-year journey at this point,” he said. By design, the building has no icons or crosses. The building is meant for community use during the week. Free coffee and wi-fi are provided, and groups can use the common area for meetings. The location off of Olio Road was chosen so that the church could be directly in the growing community.

Masjid Al-Huda and the Eman Schools Following the establishment of the Masjid Al-Huda mosque, which is attended by about 3000 worshipers during prayer holidays, a school soon followed. The school began with nine students in 2010. Five years later, classrooms have reached capacity with the school now teaching 225 students. “Fishers has been very welcoming to the Muslim community,” said Principal Imam Shaker Rashid, PhD. “Fishers has the smaller community with all of the benefits of a larger city for Muslims.” Eman schools are fully accredited, and students take the ISTEP test. “We follow the public school calendar and our curriculum is very similar to the public schools,” said Rashid.

Islamic teachings and a focus on learning the Arabic language are incorporated into the curriculum.

Because the school has students whose families come from all over the world, tolerance for differences is expected. “We are with them from the time they are 5 years old, so we teach them to accept each other,” he said.

Feuding family

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Pence getting awful advice Gov. Mike Pence, who signed into law the contentious Religious Freedom Restoration Act, is taking his fair share of fire from everywhere, much like he did when he announced the formation of a state-run news bureau. While he reeled that initiative back in quickly, he presses forward with the RFRA, but wants changes in the legislation. State Republican legislators said last Thursday that the law will be amended to point out no person or persons will “be able to discriminate against anyone at any time.” Pence was on a national TV caravan of sorts, telling viewers in last week, “I abhor discrimination.”

Pence said that he stood by the law and there was never any intent to create a “license to discriminate.” Our state – and, more to the point, our business community - is under duress over the passage of a law that would allow, if not rewritten, businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation and other viewpoints. Pence had expected a revision of the legislation on his desk by the end of last week. The real question, in our opinion, is: Who is advising this guy with the tin ear? Is he nothing more than a yes man to them? While we believe it is a business owner’s right to refuse to serve any potential customer, we never would exercise that right.

Shoot, if the ghost of Ted Kennedy came into our offices with a check for advertising a “How to (mis)handle liquor” campaign, we’d cash that check. That’s why we’re in business - last we looked - to make money. This act already is proving a drain on not only dollars, but also talent and potential business relocation and event/ tourism opportunities. The RFRA doesn’t apply at our company – and it never will - for we welcome the opportunity to interact with and assist folks of varying faiths, color and lifestyles. With bad advice, Pence has thumbed his nose at the business sector, among others. Hey, anyone for separation of church and state? Our founding fathers certainly were, but that premise and practice have gone the way of the running board.

Balancing the road trip

Commentary by Terry Anker

The family road trip is a rite of passage for many in childhood. Parents pack the car with everything needed – a stocked cooler, pillows, blankets, crayons and a short stack of comic books are all must-haves. Smart parents ensure that each kid has their own separate, but equal, array of stuff. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the pleasure of traveling a long distance with a backseat full of nascent humans knows the gambit of emotion that rides along. Laughter, quiet and even sleep are all on the agenda. But, conflict can be expected as well. It all starts with the pressure of confined space, a perceived slight, or a fight over the last banana. Tempers flair and feelings are hurt. These siblings, the same in so many ways, could not be more at odds.

The adults driving the family truckster intervene to ensure that the vitriol stays in check.

They divide the space, make the kids “stop touching each other”, and usually end with an admonishment to quit “looking” at their brother that way. Essentially, all are urged to keep their

interests balanced against those with whom they are careening along the highway – to get a little perspective.

Since our nation’s founding, Americans have debated, sometimes in a civil way and sometimes not so much, how to draw the line between the various competing freedoms of individual persons. “How dare your liberty impinge on mine?” “What?! It is your liberty that is disrupting me.”

Make no mistake, debates like these matter.

They help us define property rights, personal autonomy, and our relative value in the community.

But, isn’t the least intervention from the front seat the best? And, shouldn’t we remember that we are all in this journey together? Who wins if our inability to be civil causes us to turn the car around and go home?

Q U O T E O F T H E W EE K Spend 80 percent of your time focusing on the opportunities of tomorrow rather than the problems of yesterday.

-Eleanor Roosevelt

I really hate texting. Besides blowing up your data, communicating via text is the most likely way to end up in a snit with someone.

There’s no time or space for long-winded explanations, and certainly no way other than emojis to indicate tone of voice. Mistype or misspell? You can end up with two distinctly different meanings. To wit: “Let’s eat, Grandma!” versus “Let’s eat grandma!”

I saw this played out firsthand last week when my four sisters and I were scrambling to come up with our summer availability for Family Feud. That’s right! Steve Harvey called!

Well not Steve Harvey himself, but one of his minions. Apparently our embarrassing audition in front of hundreds of other Feud hopefuls was a success, no doubt in thanks to one of my sisters’ remarkable execution of the Worm.

Unfortunately, and I suppose ironically, trying to coordinate our calendars ended in a minor family feud of our own.

The controversial incident started with the fact that we live in five different cities. Synchronizing a three-day stretch between May and August when we can all ditch our jobs, husbands and kids to travel to Georgia is like trying to juggle lit torches, buzzing chainsaws and poopy diapers: It can be done, but only by using extreme caution.

A fourth of the dates Feud offered us are while school is in session, not the most convenient for me, the teacher, but perfect for my middle sister, the stay-at-home mom. Our annual family reunion week in July was a no for all of us, and my youngest sister couldn’t do June because she’s just come off a threemonth maternity leave. That left only a few stretches where we could all conceivably get away from work and motherhood.

Slowly but surely the texts changed from “I can make these dates but not these” to “Some of us have to work for a living!” and “Why aren’t you making FF a priority?” When I saw “If you can find the time between carpooling and traveling to Europe, give me a call,” I knew two of my sisters were getting nasty. Thank God they recognized the need for clarification through a phone call before they threw down with frown-y faces.

Sure enough, they were reading into the messages way more than what was intended.

This is Family Feud, ladies, not Family Rude!

We’re supposed to fight against the other family, not ourselves. And let’s also remember that even if the Top One Hundred People Surveyed say texting is the best method for communicating efficiently, we should all recognize that lengthy and/or potentially emotional discussions should be addressed by phone. Right Grandma? Peace out.

Ultimate win is being right in the eyes of God Commentary Mike Colaw

I have observed when people pray for good things to happen, almost all pray for their subjective versions of “good.” blessings I get it. We often associate God's blessing with our personal feelings of pleasure.

I want to propose a question to wrestle with.

Is it possible for God to bless you with something difficult or even painful?

I am not implying that God is the author of evil. I am proposing that God can purposely use hard things. Let me offer a few examples.

I heard the story of a man planning to have an affair. The night he was going to meet up with the other woman, the suspecting wife prayed God would save their marriage. The potential cheater was hit that night with an illness and unable to meet the other woman. It ended up humbling his heart and eventually their marriage was restored. Was the illness a blessing or a curse? He was embarrassed and physically miserable...

A man came into my office who had abandoned his wife and child. He was battling with depression. He wanted me to pray that God would take the depression away so he could get on with life. Like many, he was angry with God

for allowing this pain. I proposed that it might be a gift of a second chance for humility. Could this be a divine wake up call that was forcing personal reflection? He was physically miserable…

I know countless people who have been humbled before God in times of financial struggle.

Blessing or curse?

As a Christian, the ultimate win in this life is being right before God. Christians believe this life is preparation for the next. So if a hard situation makes you into the image of Jesus maybe it isn’t actually bad.

I want to propose the things that make your heart right before God are the best OBJECTIVE blessings.

If our focus is preparation for eternity then the draw of temporal pleasures will melt away in the wake of an eternal perspective. C.S. Lewis says it like this: “Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”

Qualities of entrepreneurs Commentary By CJ McClanahan I get asked the following question a lot - “I am thinking about starting my own business, can you give me some advice?” business My initial response is always the same – “Are you sure?”

Most (50% +) small businesses fail in the first five years. That’s the good news.

Unfortunately, just because a business lasts for five years, doesn’t mean that it’s providing the benefits that most entrepreneurs hoped for when they hung out their first shingle.

The bad news is that “making it work” often involves a business owner working tons of hours, earning very little, and accumulating a bunch of debt.

After working with hundreds of successful and not so successful business owners, I have developed a list of the six qualities I have seen in every successful entrepreneur.

• Belief – You have to start with the belief that your product/service will make positive impact in the marketplace. Unless you are a dirt bag, you’ll struggle to sell something you know stinks.

• Short Memory – You will screw up a ton – especially in the beginning. When you do, you’ve got to learn and move on.

• Sales – You don’t need to be Zig Ziglar, but

you’ve got to be able to sell your product/service.

It’s extremely difficult (if not impossible) to hire and lead an individual when you can’t sell your own idea.

• Accounting – In case you’re wondering, business is built upon numbers. You have to learn how to read a financial statement, develop a budget and understand the difference between cash and accrual accounting.

• Work Ethic – While I believe this probably goes without saying, I feel the need to mention it. Be prepared to put in the hours necessary to be successful.

• Support System – When I started my business, my wife Nicole, had more confidence in my abilities than I did. And, when I stumbled in the beginning (which I did a lot) she was the first to say “Don’t worry – you’ll figure it out.” We all need someone to lean on when times get tough.

If you have qualities listed above or you are committed to acquiring them, then I’ve got some really great news.

Being an entrepreneur is extremely rewarding and definitely worth all the effort.

Sharon Moore put the brakes on her career as a television producer for Champ car when she started having children. No lonsocialize ger wanting to travel for work, Moore created a tea room that combines her English sensibilities and enjoyment of good food in a child friendly atmosphere.

“My inspiration is my background, being English. My career as a TV producer was creative— I’ve always had a creative side and I’m a really keen foodie,” said Moore who is from Newcastle, England.

Moore decided to add a play room for young children in Tilly’s Tea Room. “I wanted to have the traditional English vibe as a place to relax and socialize, but I didn’t want it to have the Victorian stereotype.”

Moore and her kitchen manager, Patti VanKemp, stick to homemade traditional recipes.

“Some are mine, some are Patti’s. We work together on the recipes,” she said.

Moore spent two years coming up with the styles and ideas for the tea room. “We wanted the kids’ area but also wanted to be able to host special events.” Tilly’s has hosted Sweet 16 parties, bridal and baby showers and open house events.

A party includes food set up like a traditional tea with sandwiches, scones and jam. Moore goes to great lengths to get just the right clot-

Moore said that finding the location on 116th Street happened by chance. “I live in Westfield, but I had issues with zoning. I had been in here looking here for furniture at the consignment shop previously located in Tilly’s spot. So I spoke to the landlord—so far we’ve been really pleased.” she said.

Tilly’s was named after her daughter Matilda who goes by Tilly. Moore plans to convert the garage into a crooked house playhouse for children.

She will name it Max’s Mansion after her son.

“We’re not here just to sell tea. We are a place to socialize.”

Moore hopes to gear up for Fish and Chips to go and walk to a concert at the Amphitheater.

She plans to serve it wrapped in newspaper, the English way.

Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre celebrates 100 years

By Alec Johnson • news@currentinwestfield.com A Carmel theater will soon be wrapping up its 100th season in style.

Starting this month, the Booth Tarkanniversary ington Civic Theatre will host a series of events to commemorate the actors, actresses, and productions that have kept it going since its beginning in 1915. The theater’s Director of Development Catherine Dixon is excited about being a part of the organization and its efforts.

“I’m super honored to be a part of this organization, and the fact that I’m able to work in the performing arts and serve the community is the most amazing thing to me,” Dixon said.

The first event will be the “100 Years of Civic Theatre Exhibit,” to be held April 16 in the Tarkington Theater lobby. It archives the last 100 years, and is divided into three sections: imagination, education and participation. Alyssa Boge, a museum studies student at IUPUI, archived and catalogued the exhibit, and James Sholly, who owns Commercial Artisan, designed it. The exhibit will remain in the Tarkington lobby through the fall, and a VIP event will be held for longstanding supporters and participants to open the exhibit’s viewing.

“They will be the first people to see this exhibit, so it’s been an interesting process locating these folks trying to make sure they’re available for this,” Dixon said.

The next event will be “Backstage Exclusive: Spamalot Editon”, also at the Tarkington Theater on April 18 from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $35 per person. The community will get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Tarkington prior to opening night of “Monty Python’s SPAMALOT.” It’s based off a children’s program called “Backstage Pass.”

The adults can see the entire set, including the sound booth, dressing rooms and prop department. The “Backstage Exclusive” involves a scavenger hunt and beer available throughout the building, sponsored by Monarch Beverages.

Dixon believes that the Tarkington is a community resource, and is excited about sharing the theater.

“This is our way that they get to see the behind the scenes stuff, which being in the industry you tend to take it for granted, because if I need to go to the dressing room, I just go up on stage and go back there; but for a lot of people, this is a very interesting opportunity, and we want to make sure people are able to do that,” Dixon said.

Following the Backstage Exclusive is the Mad Hatter and Twisted Tea Parties on June 13. The Mad Hatter will include two performances of Jr. Civic’s “Alice in Wonderland, Jr.”In between those performances, children will be able to enjoy a meet and greet with show characters, get their faces painted and enjoy refreshments.

The event runs from 3 to 4:30 p.m., with tickets costing $10 per child. Following the children’s tea party will be the Twisted Tea Party, which is an adult event. It celebrates and supports Civic’s education and outreach programs with special alumni performances, awards, music, a cash bar and refreshments. Tickets are $45 per person, and the event runs from 7 to 10 p.m.

The last event will be the Centennial Gala on June 20 at 6 p.m., a black-tie event celebrating the theater’s 100th birthday. Tickets are $250 each. It will take place at the historic home where Booth Tarkington once lived.

Booth Tarkington Civic Theater Executive Director John Hedges said that the gala is a celebration “a century in the making.”

“If you can’t have a big party when you turn 100, when can you have a big party?” Hedges said. “So we hope to really have a big celebraHedges tion on June 20. We’ve already gotten a proclamation from the mayor of Carmel. We look forward to having some sort of proclamation from the governor of the state, and just to have it be a big celebration.”

Hedges wants people to know that the Civic Theatre is more than just a place that puts on plays and performances. He says the theatre’s role “is to be a catalyst for a more tolerant, empathetic, imaginative and enlightened society.”

“Through seeing life from someone else’s point of view and figuratively ‘walking in their shoes’, there can emerge a greater sense of empathy and understanding for others—and for ourselves. It is through this work of ‘holding the mirror up to nature’ that we as theatre artists make an essential contribution to our society,” said Hedges.

Loretta Lynn visits The Palladium

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com For more than 50 years, country music star Loretta Lynn has been spreading her gift of song across America. Now for the diversion first time, Hamilton County resident will get to experience her voice in person at The Center for the Performing Arts.

Coming to town April 24, Loretta Lynn will be making her first ever appearance at the Palladium.

After finding out Lynn was planning to do a series of events in the Midwest, the CFPA quickly reached out to her.

“Last December we learned that Loretta Lynn had a handful of Midwest dates available for performances so we wasted no time in contacting her management and extending an invitation,” CFPA CEO Tania Castroverde-Moskalenko said. “To have such a legendary and iconic artist on the Palladium stage is an honor for us, so obviously we were ecstatic when the date was confirmed.”

With Lynn being one of the most iconic country music singers of all time, Moskalenko is sure that her performance will be one to remember.

“For 50 years now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful—and as culturally significant—as any female performer you’d care to name.,” Moskalenko said. “‘The Coal Miner’s Daughter’ has

journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon. This is one concert you don’t want to miss!”

While Lynn is the main event of the evening, guests will also get to experience a native Indiana band at the show as well.

“There will be an opening act, Walker County Band, a family band from Sulphur Springs,” Moskalenko said. “At lead vocals, Ivy Dene Walker, 19-years-old, is a power-house with outstanding [vocal] range and little sis, Sophie Dawn Walker, plays the drums and harmonizes beautifully.

Walker County brings soulfulness with an underlying tone of southern rock and traditional country.”

Moskalenko believes the event to be a soldout show, so be sure to order your tickets early.

Ladies Beefsteak fun night for 250 women

By Renee Larr

On March 19, a group of fun loving women came together at Harry & Izzy’s Northside location to eat perfectly cooked slices of tender beef, drink handmade cocktails and watch event March Madness basketball games.

This was the third year of the Ladies Beefsteak Event. Traditionally, the all male event is held downtown at St. Elmo’s and Harry & Izzy’s.

The event has grown in popularity each year and takes up every seat at both restaurants.

The ladies event began in 2013 as spouses, colleagues and friends grew tired of the men having all the fun. Attendance has increased steadily each year. This year’s event was sold out and 250 women attended.

Upon arrival, each guest received an apron and a basketball pin to wear for the day. Each woman was entered in a raffle to win prizes such as Tito’s vodka gift baskets, Pacer tickets, Indy 500 tickets and Harry & Izzy’s gift certificates. There was a joyous sprit in the room and a sense of camaraderie between the ladies quickly developed.

“Women of all ages and professions attended Ladies Beefsteak. I was surprised by the amount of diversity and joy in the room,” said guest, Kylie Beaudreau.

Guests were treated to St. Elmo’s famous shrimp cocktail as a starter. The next course that

followed was steaks served on toasted bread alongside crispy French fries. Brownies were brought to the table for dessert. Each table could order as much food as they wanted.

The mimosa and bloody mary bars were popular with guests. Each woman could make her own drink to her liking with all the necessary garnishes. Drink stations were set up throughout the restaurant with sample sizes of specialty cocktails and beer available.

At the end of the day new friendships were made and guests commented about how they can’t wait for next year’s event.

“This is a great way for women to have a day to celebrate the Final Four in the company of great friends and great food,” said Fishers resident, Sara Denig.

What to expect in pregnancy Commentary by James Smith, MD Women experiencing first pregnancies often wonder if the body changes and symptoms they feel are normal. While every women woman is different—and every pregnancy is different—there are some common symptoms of pregnancy that many women share.

Fatigue – Even early in the first trimester, pregnant women may feel tired. Like many pregnancy symptoms, fatigue is often caused by higher levels of pregnancy hormones. Women experiencing fatigue should get plenty of rest and eat foods rich in protein and iron.

Nausea – Nausea is a well-known side effect of pregnancy, but not every woman experiences it. And while it’s often referred to as “morning sickness,” nausea in pregnant women can happen at any time of day.

Food cravings or aversions – Women often crave or are turned off by certain foods when they are pregnant. These cravings and aversions are caused by hormonal changes and can last for the entire pregnancy. Women who are expecting should eat a nutritious and balanced diet.

Back pain – Many women experience back pain during pregnancy as the increasing size and weight of the uterus puts more strain on the back. To alleviate pain, avoid standing or sitting

for long periods and try not to arch the back too much when standing.

Difficulty sleeping – Hormonal changes, as well as discomfort later in pregnancy can cause many women to have trouble sleeping. Daily exercise can help. It’s also important to maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid caffeine and long naps during the day.

Breast tenderness – Breast changes, including tenderness, are common in pregnancy. Tenderness usually subsides after the first trimester, but breast changes are present throughout pregnancy. Veins may become more visible, and stretch marks may appear.

Vaginal discharge – Some women may experience changes in vaginal discharge. Thin, milkywhite discharge is normal during pregnancy.

Remember that pregnancy causes significant changes in the body, and it’s not uncommon to experience a wide range of symptoms or side effects during this time. Talk with your doctor or obstetrician about any pregnancy symptoms during regular prenatal visits.

Volubilis: Morocco’s Roman City Commentary by Don Knebel

The Roman ruins of Volubilis include a triumphal arch, magnificent mosaics and colonnaded temples. Surprisingly, the ruins are travel in the heart of Morocco and their extensive restoration by the French may have been a political statement.

Volubilis lies in a fertile plain at the foot of Mount Zerhoun, 18 miles north of Meknes. Volubilis was founded in the third century B.C. by the Phoenicians, sea-going traders from what is now Lebanon, and became capital of Mauretania.

After the Roman Empire annexed Mauretania in 44 A.D., Volubilis became wealthy exporting grain, olive oil and exotic animals for gladiator battles, eventually reaching a population of about 20,000.

An aqueduct supplied water for public baths and sewers transported waste to the river. A large basilica housed administrative offices and temples honored a number of important Roman gods. A ceremonial arch built in the third century paid homage to Emperor Caracalla, famous for his brutality and for granting Roman citizenship to freemen throughout the provinces.

In about 285, an over-stretched Roman Empire abandoned Volubilis and the city became Christian, its basilica converted to a church. In the late Eighth Century, after the area had come

under Islamic control, Moulay Idriss, founder of the Kingdom of Morocco, selected Volubilis as his first capital. When his son moved the capital to nearby Fes, Volubilis began a slow decline, disappearing from history by the eleventh century.

The French gained control of Morocco in 1912 and undertook extensive excavations at Volubilis, using thousands of German soldiers captured during World War I. Stripping away and discarding remains of Islamic structures, French archaeologists uncovered grand Roman villas, some with dozens of rooms and many containing well-preserved mosaic floors illustrating mythological and outdoor scenes. Workers completely rebuilt the triumphal arch and partially restored the basilica.

Some suspect French colonialists restored Volubilis as an archetypical Roman city to lay claim to a long history of Latin influence in northern Africa and others doubt the authenticity of the extensive reconstructions. Properly restored or not, Volubilis was featured in the final scenes of the 1988 film, “The Last Temptation of Christ,” and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Not-so-little grammar question Commentary by Jordan Fischer QUESTION: “My sister and I are working on hand-stitching Laura Ingalls Wilder quilts. We are also both reading all the grammar guy Little House on the Prairie books to get into the whole pioneer frame of mind.

I was surprised to come across the word ‘boughten,’ which Laura uses to describe anything that is store-bought. I looked it up and it is actually a word!

Dictionary.com states that it is a Northern and North Midland U.S. nonstandard word.

I am from Illinois and we never used that word. It’s always been “store-bought” when describing items that were not hand-made.

Do people still use this word today or is it now out of fashion. Or was it a perfectly acceptable word to use at the time of publishing? (Or now, too, for that matter)? It just sounds so weird and incorrect.” – (Becky Kelly) ANSWER: This is a really interesting question, Becky, and I love the “Little House on the Prairie” books, so I’m excited to have received it.

The earliest recorded use of “boughten” I could find was 1738. Several sources identify it as a Midwestern word – and it does have that sort of feel to it – but I suspect a better description would be a “homesteader” word.

While the “Little House” books first began publishing in the early 1930s, the first few books

were set during Laura Ingalls Wilder’s childhood in the 1860s in what was essentially the undeveloped wilderness of Wisconsin and Kansas (and later Minnesota). Wisconsin had only been a state at that point for about 20 years (it was entered into the Union in 1848), and Kansas’ statehood was in its infancy (it was admitted into the Union in 1861).

All of that is to say that the books take place in parts of the country were language often took an older and more stratified form. Homesteaders often lived far away from one another, keeping contact and exchange of language to a minimum.

Access to formal education wasn’t assured, nor was it necessarily a priority. And finally, many of the homesteaders themselves were from an earlier era: Laura’s father Charles Ingalls was born in 1836, and her paternal grandparents (both of whom appear in at least the first book), were born in 1810 and 1812.

What it boils down to is that, no, people were probably not saying “boughten” very often by the 1930s when the books were published, but Laura very likely did hear it often growing up on the prairie.

Mulch can help transform an ordinary outdoor space into a garden that is stunningly beautiful. (Submitted photo)

Scent of mulch: Sure sign of spring

CONTACT US TODAY!

Commentary by Bob Wasson

Live Happy.

What scent do you associate most closely with spring? The fragrance of hyacinths in full bloom? A whiff of warm, moist OUTdoors air wafting its way to Indiana from the Gulf of Mexico? The unmistakable aroma of mulch in your neighbor’s back yard?

Whether you hold your nose or inhale as deeply as you possibly can, the scent of mulch in the air is an undeniable sign that spring is here!

Mulch is one of the most essential ingredients in a healthy garden for these four reasons: • Mulch helps conserve moisture in the soil and keeps the roots of your plants cool.

• Mulch enriches the soil, making your flowers more beautiful and your fruit and vegetables more productive.

• Mulch is an effective way to control weeds.

It blocks sunlight, preventing pesky, unwanted seed from germinating.

• Mulch will make your yard more attractive.

It can help transform an ordinary outdoor

space into a garden that is stunningly beautiful.

Organic mulch is comprised of everything from manure, compost and grass clippings to shredded leaves, peat moss and tree bark. It typically is applied around trees, shrubs, flowerbeds and vegetable gardens. Mulch layers are usually two inches deep – sometimes more.

If you’re like the average weekend gardener, you probably have lots of questions about mulching. Questions like “how much to buy,” “when is the best time to apply,” and “what kind of mulch should I use.”

These are all good reasons to stop by your neighborhood nursery or talk with a professional landscaper. They’ll make sure the next time you get a whiff of fresh mulch, it isn’t coming from your next door neighbor’s yard, but from your own.

Is your family protected? Are your assets safe? Is your will current?

The big three things to consider Commentary by Randy Sorrell

The growing thirst for modern outdoor living spaces has fueled stylish visions of patios, decks, fire features, grill staOUTdoors tions, lanais with outdoor TV sets … and the imagination of luxuries continues to blossom!

The reality of employing multiple amenities in your backyard can be daunting from a design and a financial perspective. Which commonly results in three critical discussion topics … budget, master design and phasing. Let these measured components serve as the vision and boundaries of implementing your incredible outdoor living space.

BUDGET The budget conversation has grown from uncomfortable to now being expected. Often, a few minutes of offering rough costs for the dreamy ideas can help place the correct financial perspective or stimulate creative solutions that still provides some sort of enjoyable space. Return On Investment quickly follows. Some are very concerned while others are more carpe diem.

What about you?

MASTER DESIGN Think of this as your retirement plan, bucket

list or career path. It functions as your blueprint for success and is closely aligned with the budget. It allows for DIY involvement and/or professionally installed. Likely there are a few “reach” items that could happen if a financial blessing occurs or your Lilly stock doubles and splits again.

Make certain the design is to scale, calls out materials, offers some flexibility and fits your needs.

PHASING “Can we phase this in over a period of seasons?” Of course you can! Most projects have the capacity of phasing, if properly planned.

Generally, starting with hard surfaces (patio, deck, porch, fire feature) followed by landscaping and concluding with optional ideas (grill station, pergola, shade sail, sitting walls) flows best.

Each project/budget/design will strongly encourage the sequence and simultaneously leave you thirsting for the next phase.

Bring on the barbeque!
