Students belonging to a new club at FHS are learning and using interpersonal and on-the-job skills that have launched their success to compete at a world competition later this education month.

FIRST Robotics Competition Team 5010: Tiger Dynasty, is the brainchild of Elizabeth Butterfield, 18, a senior at FHS. Butterfield wanted to form a club focused on engineering, science and technology outside the classroom.

In late 2012, Butterfield began the Fishers High School Robotics Club, which eventually became a FIRST Robotics Competition team. FIRST is an acronym: For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.

The FRC Team 5010 was founded by Butterfield during the summer 2013. She is also a team leader joined by Ryusuke Saito, vice president; and Ryan Sharkey, technical lead; along with Dillan Nayee, John Mross, Connor Rudmann, Matteo Polito, and Jake White, who are all current juniors and seniors.

Students that are part of the team are also developing skills in mathematics, marketing and design, while developing leadership and communication skills that will help them as they move to the collegiate level and into their professional lives.

“We deal with problems and obstacles and decision-making,” Butterfield said. “We work with and

learn how to communicate with professionals.”

In addition, the students work along with mentors: professionals that guide them as the team constructs a robot. Each year, the team designs a new robot and participates in competitions nationally and abroad. Teams have just six weeks to design, construct and test their robots before competing.

“Making a robot from scratch in a very short amount of time is a challenge,” Ryan Sharkey, 18, technical lead for Tiger Dynasty, said. “Our team acts like an engineering firm: we have tight deadlines with strict criteria. The experience is stressful but rewarding.”

The club first began training last summer with FRC Team 868 (the Carmel TechHOUNDS), which supported the Fishers team with basic training in skills needed to build a robot.

“Carmel helped us a lot,” Butterfield said. “Their students were eager to see everyone succeed.”

The team participated at the Boilermaker Regional at Purdue University, winning awards for First Year Rookie and Rookie All-Star. The awards qualified Fishers to compete at the FIRST World Championship April 23-26 in St. Louis.

Fishers Team 5010: Tiger Dynasty needs $15,000 in funding to participate in the upcoming world competition. To donate, please go to www.gofundme.com/ tigerdynasty. For more information about the team, go to http://tigerdynasty.org/about5010/.

Fishers BMV set to close

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Bureau of Motor Vehicles Branch at 3 Municipal Dr. will close its doors on April 26, never to reopen. government The question now is whether there will be a branch in Fishers to replace it. The town of Fishers terminated the BMV’s lease, effective May 1 so that the town court and IT Dept. can move into the space.

The BMV posted a notice on the door of the building on March 21 to inform the public of a hearing to get input into whether a Fishers branch is necessary and where residents would like to see it located.

According to Josh Gillespie, deputy commissioner of communications for the Indiana BMV, not many people showed up. “Attendance was very sparse. It consisted of two town counselors and two other residents,” he said.

The options being considered by the BMV are to move to another location in Fishers or expand the capacity of nearby branches which include Noblesville, Carmel, McCordsville, Nora and Lawrence. These branches, according to the BMV, are within 7 to 11 miles or a 10 to 20 minute drive from Fishers.

BMV statistics show that the Fishers branch has seen a steady decline in customer visits despite being one of the fastest growing communities in the country. The decline has been 25%

The Fishers BMV at 3 Municipal Drive will close April 26th

since 2007 because more people are choosing online BMV transactions. The BMV reports that more than 50 percent of all BMV transactions are handled at www.myBMV.com.

By not opening another Fishers branch and expanding the capacity of the nearby branches, the BMV estimates $1 million will be saved over 10 years. The BMV also said that no employees will lose their jobs because of the closing and will be integrated into other nearby branches.

Gillespie said that no decision has been made.“We are continuing to review all of our options and are working with the Town of Fishers,” he said.

Spring is finally here and people like to spruce things up and put a fresh coat of paint on everything this time of year. safety But the Fishers Fire Dept. has a reminder for you: Don’t paint your fire hydrant. It may be tempting to put a coat on it that is a little more aesthetically pleasing in your landscaping, but it’s a big no-no as far as the fire deptartment is concerned. The FFD reminds us that it’s not up to the homeowner to decide what the hydrant looks like. Citizens Energy Group is responsible for the maintenance for the green hydrants and American Water is responsible for the blue and white hydrants. Red hydrants are typically in commercial areas. Red hydrants are the responsibility of the property owners to maintain.

Here is a list of “Don’ts” from the FFD: Don’t paint them – Often, people spruce them up but don’t take into consideration where the paint goes, causing them to be “painted shut”. It’s amazing just how problematic a little paint can be on threads of the pipe.

Don’t cover them up – Agreed, unless you have a fire motif in your front yard, hydrants don’t add to the landscape of most yards, but even so, don’t cover them up. While the fire dept. has more than one way of identifying a hydrant, eyes-on is the best. When covered up, not only can firefighters not see them, but when they

find them and try to use them, the small attractive bush you planted three years ago is now a thick woody obstruction that keeps them from connecting their all-important hoses. To do so is in fact a violation of Indiana Fire Code 508.5.4. But tickets aside, that hydrant really makes a difference in whether lives and property are saved.

Don’t open the hydrants – Big city pictures of kids playing in the fire hydrants are very nostalgic but not practical or safe. There is a tremendous amount of pressure and at times, debris in these water lines, which can severely injure you.

Here is a list of Do’s • Do call your water company if you see damage to your hydrant.

• Do call you water company if your hydrant appears to need maintenance.

• Do call your neighborhood association president if the hydrant is obstructed with growth or blocked from view. A three foot clear radius is required.

Another option for seniors

stvincent.org/medicalgroup

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com A Seniors Helping Seniors franchise has opened in the Fishers area and, as the name implies, it’s a concept that has healthy older people helping out other seniors who now open need non-medical help.

Owner Brad James says the concept is different from other in-home senior care in that they hire people who can really associate and understand the people they are taking care of. “As our name dictates, Seniors Helping Seniors, we only bring on board older adults and seniors to help out with older adults and seniors. And that’s a nice thing in the community. First, we’re able to provide jobs for older adults and seniors, so it’s not just volunteer work, working at a Sam’s Club or at Costco. And, secondly, it’s unique because they are able to really understand the needs of older adults and seniors. As opposed to hiring 25-year-olds to take care of 70-year-olds where there’s big age gaps,” he said.

He adds that trust is a big factor in the success of their concept. “When you’re bringing someone in from the same generation as the person they are taking care of, they really develop special bonds and friendships. It’s not just someone coming in and hanging out, they’re truly friends that create lasting bonds and do things together,” said James.

Fishers Artist in IMA Exhibit

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com

The Indiana Artists Club’s Annual Juried Exhibition takes place each spring at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and this year’s event will feature a painting by Fishers artist Jean award Smith. This year marks the 82nd Annual Exhibit, and Smith’s painting, “The Priest,” is eligible for several financial awards, including “Best of Show.”

Smith is one of 43 artists chosen to participate in the exhibit, which will be on display through June 8 in the IMA’s Community Gallery. The IAC Annual Exhibit is free and open to the public; awards will be presented to the artists at a public, free reception on Sunday, April 27 at 2 p.m.

Smith has been an artist for 60 years and is well known in artistic communities. “She shows in a lot of major exhibitions around the state,” said Pam Newell, artist, instructor and president of the Indiana Artists Club. “Her watercolors are just amazing.”

Smith’s road to the IAC Annual Exhibit at the IMA was not easy. “To become a member of IAC is pretty difficult,” Newell stated. “You have to be an established artist and have been accepted in two to three outside juried shows. It can take people years to accomplish this.”

Smith is in the IAC and the next step was to be chosen for the Annual Exhibit. This year’s Annual Exhibit juror is Dr. Charles Venable, the CEO of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. “Dr. Venable selected

the first batch of artists,” explained Newell. “One hundred forty-one works were submitted by 79 active IAC artists. Of that he selected 43 works and then out of the 43 he chose the ones that will win awards.”

“To have Jean’s work included in the Annual Exhibit is wonderful,” Newell said.

“I’m always amazed that I get in,” added Smith. “It is a great opportunity to have work shown to the public.”

The IAC is one of the oldest juried organizations in the state. “We’ve exhibited at Town Hall in Fishers to educate the community on what professional artwork looks like,” Newell said.

“We’re trying to get the public connected to the artist and having the arts adds richness and culture to everyday life.”

Fishers begins long range planning for pedestrian and bike trails

Bicyclists wait in traffic at 126th and US 37

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com What do you think the Town of Fishers will look like in the year 2040?

That may seem rather far into the future, but town planners have embarked on a project which maps cover story out pedestrian and bike trails that many years ahead. It’s the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and it’s funded by a $20,000 grant from the State Dept. of Health as a way to promote healthy lifestyles and is being matched by the Town of Fishers.

This master plan is being drawn up with public input, too. The town’s Dept. of Community Development held a forum March 27 at Launch Fishers and as many as 50 residents showed up to share what they’d like to see the future city look like in terms of paths, trails and sidewalks.

Assistant Director of Planning Rachel Johnson said it’s important to find out what Fishers’ residents want. “We’re listening to what destinations they would like to bike or walk to, but currently can’t because the infrastructure’s not there and they don’t feel safe. Also, where are those gaps in the system at intersections that they don’t feel comfortable crossing? And what do they currently like about our system? What trails do they like to use? We need to know, so that we can identify what we need to expand on,” she said.

As a newer community that has grown quickly, Johnson said there are gaps in the system that are natural. So, this project identifies what planners need to work on in ways of sidewalk and trail connections, with added bicycle lanes on the roads, so that cyclists feel comfortable using the roads to travel. In addition, multi-use paths are being considered. “We’ve talked about making a multi-use path to connect Conner Prairie to our downtown area and then connect it down to Richey Woods. So, we want to get input from the community on what they would like to ideally see as those types of recreational uses as well,” said Johnson.

She said that connecting Conner Prairie to other parts of Fishers is an exciting project for the planners. “Just engaging the community to get out-of-the-box ideas that we haven’t thought of on

key destinations is important. And looking at what roads they have the most trouble crossing. Through these exercises we’ve heard that many people want to cross (Ind.) 37 but can’t. There’s also a lot of people who want to cross I-69 and (White River) to get to Carmel. These are major projects we need to consider,”she said.

Michael Breach, a Fishers resident and engineer attended the forum, said he is looking forward to seeing the master plan. “In my opinion the town has floundered in a lot of situations. I think a lot of that is controlled by economics and funding. The plan will give us some purpose and place,” he said.

Christopher Hansen also took time to come to the forum. “I came because I commute on my bike to work in the summer and my family just enjoys riding bikes around town. I want to see what the plan is. I like seeing that the town is seeking input.”

Tony Bonacuse had a more specific reason for attending. “I came to the forum because I live in Walnut Creek which is south on Cumberland. My concern is that we are missing out on a community development project. A thousand residents could access the new development downtown if we were connected to Cumberland Road via a bike path. So we would want access to go

north on Cumberland. Then we’d want people north of 116th to have access to Cumberland Park and Stony Creek pool, so we could have a connection there,” he said.

Another concern for Bonacuse is the wooden bridge on Cumberland Road at Sand Creek where it constricts to the point of becoming dangerous when pedestrians or bicyclists try to cross at the same time as vehicles. He pointed out that people have been killed there.

The master plan, when finalized, will be prioritized and implemented in stages as funding allows. Johnson said creating the plan is important. “I think to stay competitive we need to make sure that we have a community that is healthy for people to live in and easy for people to get around, no matter if they no longer want to drive, or if they just want another option to get to destinations,” she said.

If you have ideas, another forum will be held at Launch Fishers at 7 Launch Way, behind the Fishers Library on May 14 from 6 to 8pm. You can also go to the town website at www.fishers.in.us, and click on the link to the interactive wiki-map. You can pinpoint locations that you feel need to be addressed and leave comments.

Trustees could vote on cuts April 14 You’ll want to pay attention to this if your tax dollars go in part to Hamilton Southeastern Schools. The Board of School Trustees may well decide to vote April 14 on list of budget reductions (identified in Current, April 1) to help lower district costs by $5 million during the next two years. The first phase of reductions totals approximately $2.8 million, and that is noteworthy. We understand that revenue cannot keep pace with costs, and so we salute the trustees for taking a stab at reductions, most notably in the area of employee healthcare plan modifications. As with the public sector, it will mean higher insurance deductibles, the introduction of co-pays for some and having to pay for prescriptions. You might recall the state took control of funding –that’s your money, by the way - for school operations for 2008-09 and it caused this train wreck. We’re counting on the trustees, as well as Supt. Dr. Brian Smith, to make the decisions that will set the course for pulling out of the financial quagmire.

••• And so the March 31 deadline came and went with much fanfare (cough, cough) for registering for Obamacare. President Barack Obama’s initiative reeled in a whopping seven million registrants. How many healthy, previously insured folks were piped aboard the Good Ship Socialist? How many were previously uninsured? We believe you can make educated guesses at answers. So, then, “If you like your insurance … .“ Travesty.

••• We found it interesting that the federal government actually recruited former NBA stars Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Alonzo Mourning to pitch Obamacare. On our dime, yet. Breathtaking. And we found it pulverizing to our collective intelligence that Vice President Joe Biden (can’t believe we’re using “intelligence and “Biden” in the same sentence) took to no less a platform than the Rachel Ray Show in one last appeal to gain registrants last Monday.

Story-teller, speaker, raconteur Commentary by Terry Anker

These past few days have found us leapfrogging the ancient capitals of Europe on a speaking tour as a part of a responsibility as a member of the board for the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. Among those on the docket were Bucharest, Athens and London (thanks to my colleagues who tolerate Skype and late-night email as the sole paths of communication back home). Each city designated for our little roadshow warrants four or five international guests buttressed by a slightly larger domestic contingent. In a week’s time, one is exposed to many, many speeches; and an array of opinions equally abundant.

Style and content vary widely. Some are entertaining and others deliberately eschew humor and rely only on dry data, imagining, one supposes, that even the remotest jocularity might diminish the gravitas with which their desired message is conveyed. It is notable that others find parable and anecdote to be the most effec-

tive way to reach the assembled audience. The best find balance.

Weaving both cold fact and personal warmth are among the very most effective methods. So how much latitude can one take in making a point before she dances on the edge of veracity?

When is puffery simply the route to efficiency and when does it become deception? The Romanians clung to figures. Each presentation was a study in PowerPoint precision. The Greeks robustly and captivatingly advocated with a near evangelic zeal. While the Brits, ever true to form, employed restraint and erudition to carry the message. It makes me wonder about our American “style.” Do we stray too far from fact when attempting to entertain or do we cling too closely to data and fail to ever make the point?

Fishers has won a lot of awards over the past few years including the 12th-best place to live in America, the 11th-best place to move, one of the 10 best towns for families, among several others. But in an effort to further improve livability, the town is working on a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and planners are looking for input from residents in drawing it up. So what would you like to see? Is there a sidewalk in your neighborhood that just ends and you’d like to see it connected? How about biking across Ind. 37? Would you like to, but are scared to try? There’s an idea being floated that would link up a trail system from Conner Prairie to downtown Fishers. Would you like to see that happen? Other cities around us have placed a lot of importance on trails and infrastructure and Fishers town planners don’t want to fall behind. Our cover story this week has more details on how you can pass on your ideas for this master plan project.

As we make way for new ideas and developments, sometimes that means things have to change. For instance, the Fishers BMV is closing to make way for town offices to move into that building. Read more inside about whether Fishers will have a BMV branch in the future.

The robotics team at Fishers High School recently came away big winners at a regional contest and won the right to compete for national honors in St. Louis against 400 teams.

They are doing some amazing things with robots. You can read more about it inside. If they could just create a robot that would shovel the snow off our driveways by next winter, I think they’d have a real winning idea!

We want to hear from you if you know of someone who is worthy of being recognized or if you have an event that needs some support.

Thanks for reading Current in Fishers!

Remember my last column about how my husband Doo has been getting on my nerves with his rising early and going to bed well humor ahead of his normal schedule?

If I hadn’t hit my obscenely-low word limit (a travesty, in my opinion; greatness cannot be expressed in a mere 450 words!), I would have regaled you with even more stories of unusual behavior. His attempt to simultaneously participate in P-90X and T-25, two intense at-home fitness programs, for example, is driving me absolutely bonkers! (Of course you’re sore and fatigued, my darling, you just did two hours of plyometrics!) He’s also been having frequent minitantrums over the amount of chauffeuring and carpooling he’s been asked to do. “When is it my time?” he complains as he stomps his feet. “I’m sick of having my life revolve around the kids!” he whines, as he throws his hands into the air. “I’m done!” he hurumphs, as he collapses into the armchair. I’m living with a 5-year old Jack LaLanne!

Luckily, we’ve finally diagnosed the problem. My beloved spouse is going through . . .

Man-opause. Can you believe it? I wasn’t sure exactly what Man-opause was, so I looked it up.

Here’s what I found. “Man-opause is a serious, non-life threating condition that typically afflicts men in their forties. Sufferers usually experience discontentment with the status-quo, anxiety over the demands of middle-age, and an intense

desire to buy a Porsche. Other symptoms may include planning vacations to tropical locations, picking fights with the wife over her awesome basketball team, and a sincere belief that wine is a recovery drink.” Yep, that’s my Doo. I read on.

“Though incurable, symptoms of Man-opause can be alleviated by a periodic venting of emotion and lots of there-theres from the spouse.

Do not, however, under any circumstances, point out the immature or selfish behavior to said sufferer. This technique is a scam cooked up by Hollywood producers and pharmaceutical companies to incite panic in suburbia. Instead, try a more holistic approach. Though not yet approved by the FDA for use on male adults, one promising procedure has its roots in a technique used with tantrum-throwing toddlers: Parents of small children simply step over the child and walk away.

Initial trials with Manopausal men using a similar approach are encouraging. Acknowledgement of his concerns demonstrate love, while time alone allows for thoughtful reflection and regrouping.”

I can do that!

There is a chance that Doo will outgrow his Man-opause, but regardless, at least now we have answers. Life can return to normal! Peace out.

World-famous violin player coming to Palladium stage

By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com An almost freakish incident of two broken strings in the course of one concert performance gave Midori a flash of acclaim in her early teens. music In 1986, Leonard Bernstein was conducting her at the Tanglewood Festival as soloist in his “Serenade” when she had the sudden twin misfortune. Immediately after the initial accident, Midori (she uses only her first name) made the customary turn to the concertmaster in order to continue. That borrowed instrument suffered the same bad luck as the performance proceeded, and the Japanese-born 14-year-old finished it playing on a third violin, again passed on to her by the first-chair first violinist.

What everyone remarked on at the time was her imperturbable elan in bringing off the performance. She won over everyone, including the astonished Bernstein, and the event made the front page of the New York Times. Yet there has been nothing ordinary about her career since, even without the sensationalism that briefly moved her name onto the news pages.

Those distinctions have included establishing several kinds of music-education programs. One of them gives exposure to music and direct training in underserved neighborhoods in Japan and the United States. It serves about 15,000 people annually in New York City. It is no one-off exposure to music, but a 26-week course.

Another venture, established on the basis of the lucrative Avery Fisher Award she won in 2001, is Partners in Performance, which is designed to stimulate interest in classical music in small cities.

Proceeds from concerts by Midori and other eminent artists are used for support of community music organizations.

Then, a decade ago, she established a program to encourage American youth orchestras. Midori has performed with these orchestras and has advocated for them offstage, using her prominence to strengthen their home viability. Several years ago, she took this initiative outside the United States, collaborating with orchestras in Costa Rica, Bulgaria and Peru.

Midori is an accomplished violin player and also the Her core artistry continues into early chair of the strings department at the University of middle age, complete with an academic Southern California. (Submitted photo) anchor. She is entering her third year as professor at the University of Southern California, where she chairs the strings department.

If you want to hear how well Midori applies her technical wizardry to musical insight and understanding, you can’t do better than listen to this Carnegie Hall recital performance of Ravel’s “Tzigane” on YouTube. The pianist is Robert McDonald. She was 18 at the time, and already a veteran of the world’s concert stages, having made her professional debut at 11. The suspenseful energy and seemingly spontaneous rapport between Midori and McDonald are remarkable.

With pianist Ozgur Avdin, she will play a solo recital here including sonatas by Beethoven, Debussy, and Shostakovich, plus Schubert’s Rondo Brilliant in B minor.

One of the highlights of the show will be the vocals sung by the Anderson University Choral Ensembles directed by Rick Sowers.

“Carmina Burana” is considered the singlebiggest audience draw in the classical music repertoire next to Beethoven’s Ninth.

“The opening of Carmina Burana is among the most powerful music ever written,” said Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director David Bowden.

He refers to the piece as a morality tale based on a collection of poetry writings of monks namely about wine, women and song as they relate to the unwavering nature of fate.

Also on the program is Poulenc’s Concerto for Two Pianos, featuring internationally acclaimed pianist, three-time Sagamore of the Wabash recipient and Indiana Historical Society Living Legend, Charles Webb along with his piano partner, Steven Mann of New York.

“This is a really great balance to Carmina Burana because it has this really humorous, perky, sparking rhythm and melody that has a touch of irony in it,” Bowden said.

And Webb is actually a mentor of Bowden’s

Jump rope for fun and fitness Commentary by Kathleen Connelly As a parent and a health professional, I love to see the schools promote activity. My two oldest children attend Hoosier wellness Road Elementary and the past couple of years I have been delighted to see them support the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope for Heart Program. It is a program that raises money to help fight against heart disease and supports services offered by the American Heart Association.

Recently, the forms came home with my kids and they are excited to participate again.

This got me thinking about my clients and new ways for them to get active. As adults, jump roping can provide an intense cardiovascular workout. Regular jump roping can improve dynamic balance, coordination, reflexes, bone density and muscular endurance. It also can help increase mental alertness and memory as well has improve spacial awareness and reading skills.

The Jump Rope Institute states that 10 minutes of continual jump roping at 120 RPMs can provide the same benefits as 30 minutes of jogging, 720 yards of swimming and 18 holes of golf. That’s

amazing! A simple childhood activity that we can do right on our own driveway or sidewalk can provide so much good for our health!

Another bonus is it’s an activity that the whole family can do. If you have little ones that can’t jump rope yet, they can play outside or sit in a stroller while you jump rope for 5-10 minutes. If your kids are a little older, make it a family affair and add in a couple days of jump roping during the summer. A new jump rope for each family member is a great way to start the spring season.

Did you know Indianapolis has a jump rope organization? They are called the Indy Air Bears and their website is www.indyairbears.homestead.com. The team is made up of children ranging from 2 years old through college. Just like me, they believe jump roping is a great way to exercise and have lots of fun.

Commentary by CJ McClanahan It all started with the best of intentions.

I had been coaching executives for a little more than a year move the needle and decided to send out a “feedback” form to my clients to find out how I was doing.

After a few weeks, I received some encouraging reviews and felt great about my progress. I decided that this would be a regular part of the program.

I got to the point where I couldn’t wait for the positive feedback.

Then it happened.

A relatively new client sent back their survey.

It came via fax, and I distinctly remember watching it come over the top of the machine, eagerly awaiting the eventual praise.

Instead, here’s what I heard: “This isn’t what I expected. I am not receiving the value I had anticipated. I am not sure this is a good fit for me.”

I was devastated, and I almost puked – seriously. In fact, I get a little queasy telling this story more than 8 years later.

Seconds after processing the criticism, I begin to seriously doubt my abilities wondering aloud – “Am I really cut out for this line of work? What if I get that from all my clients?”

48 hours lately, I regrouped and carefully reviewed his thoughts asking myself – “What can I

Member Central Indiana

BEFORE

do differently to ensure that I never receive this type of feedback again?”

The good news is that he stayed a client for another 3 years.

The much better news is that I became a much better coach because a client cared enough to tell me the truth.

Every client since then has benefited from this hard lesson.

The truth is that we rarely learn anything meaningful unless we feel a decent amount of pain.

Do you remember the last meaningful improvement you made in yourself as a result of a minor mistake? Of course you don’t.

I used to show up a few minutes late to meetings until a great prospect told me they wouldn’t work with someone who couldn’t manage their time.

I am not trying to suggest that you look forward to the suffering resulting from your missteps.

What I am suggesting is that you look at each one from a different perspective. Your journey is filled with experiences – some good and some bad. The best teacher you’ll ever have is failure.

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

Buggy Rides in Shipshewana (Photo by Don Knebel)

Shipshewana is the only Indiana entry in “1,000 Places to See Before you Die.” Each year more than one million visitors travel come to this self-described “Town of Character,” located about 25 miles east of Elkhart, to see how its Amish residents manage to lead such simple lives amid twenty-first century complexity.

The Amish, like the Mennonites, are spiritual descendants of the Anabaptists, European Christians who rejected the idea of infant baptism and persecuted for their beliefs. They separated from the Mennonites in 1693 when their founder, Jakob Ammann, decided Mennonites were too accommodating of a sinful world. The Amish came to Pennsylvania in the early eighteenth century seeking religious freedom and later came to Ohio and Indiana seeking farmland for their children.

The Amish past is chronicled in the Menno-Hof Museum just south of Shipshewana’s only traffic light. The Amish present can be learned from a ride through the countryside in a horse drawn Amish buggy guided by a retired farmer. The drivers, who speak a German dialect at home, are willing to answer any questions put to them

by the “English,” their name for outsiders. As the drivers will explain, the Amish do not avoid all modern conveniences, but only ones that their local Ordnung decides make life too comfortable.

So an Amish family may use a powered lawn mower so long as it is not self propelled or a tractor so long as it does not have rubber tires.

A harness factory may use tools powered by compressed air but not by electricity. Most Amish will ride in an automobile owned by others but will not own one themselves. The Amish want to be reminded constantly of their separation from society and their need to trust God and each other.

Not all the goods in Shipshewana’s 100 shops are made locally and the food in its popular restaurants is predictable. However, the unique appeal of Shipshewana does not come from its merchandise or its food. It comes from residents willing to share their lives of piety and simplicity with people from a world too often lacking both.

THE HEARTH AT WINDERMERE Independent and Assisted Living | Memory Care

There are times people come into my office with deep theological questions or life-altering problems. Honestly, most spirituality counseling revolves around relationships. Let me offer some of the issues that constantly come up. You ready? Here are five reasons people don’t like being around you.

You’re a dominator.

You may be influential at work, but have a hard time finding real friends because you monopolize group interaction and have to constantly be the “expert.” I guess it’s okay if you’re a boss at work, but it’s not doing you any favors if you want long-lasting friendships.

You’re always negative.

Your life is one long sad country song, or you may be a perfectionist who isn’t satisfied with anything. Either way, you knock out optimism like a mixed martial arts fighter. Stop it.

You are a recognition seeker.

I get it, you’re awesome. We don’t need to hear it every time we meet.

You are constantly selling your products.

Multi-level marketing rarely generates real relationships. You may be avoided because your friends are out of cash! Stop asking for it.

You are a gossip.

Okay, let’s just clear the air. If you talk bad about others, we all wonder if you are talking bad about us behind our backs too. People are awkwardly nice around you because they are afraid of what ammunition they may accidentally give you. Let me say this clearly: YOU AREN’T SAFE! You need to change or you will be manipulating people to be nice to you the rest of your life.

So what can you do about it? The old adage is quite true, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Redesign your kitchen on a budget Commentary by David Decker

dardized laminate or hardwood. Today, kitchen flooring can be found in a vast array of materials, colors, shapes and sizes. Shop around to find a material and price that fits your budget.

A fresh coat of paint: Whether you are using it on your walls, ceiling or refinished cabinetry, a fresh coat of paint can completely transform the look of a room. Try a new color scheme that you can mix and match with new decorative items.

New décor: There’s no reason to make sweeping décor changes. Start with the basics, such as a new table or chairs set. Decide whether your curtains, blinds and window decorations could benefit from an update. If you are redesigning on a tight budget, focus on the small details. Try changing out small details, such as display dishes, framed pictures or potted plants to make a big difference in the overall look of the room.

A kitchen redesign project can be as extensive as you make it. If you are unsure of where to start, I’d suggest begin by cleaning out the entire room and donating the items you no longer use. Now the redesign process can really begin. And you’ve seen that a tight budget doesn’t keep you from creating a vibrant and user-friendly kitchen space.

The kitchen is often considered the headquarters of the modern home. And since it fulfills so many roles in the home, it’s no indoors wonder that so many people want to show off a modern and updated kitchen. The good news is, a few simple design changes can completely reinvent the look of the room. Here are five quick and easy ways to update your kitchen without breaking the bank.

New hardware: You don’t need to order entirely new cabinetry to change the look of your kitchen cabinets. Instead, try swapping out your existing hardware and drawer pulls for new ones.

You’ll be amazed at the difference new hardware can make on the overall look of the room.

Lighting: Lighting is an essential decorative element, especially in the home. Proper lighting makes color more vibrant, while drastically affecting the energy of the room. Softer lighting will create a more elegant feel while bright lighting will make the room cheerful and inviting. You could even install dimmer switches to adjust the lighting depending on your activity or mood. And of course, the lighting fixtures themselves are an important decorative element. Replace your old sconces or hanging fixtures with new ones that feature a different style. Make sure all of the lighting fixtures fit together cohesively to tie everything together into a complete look.

New flooring: Gone are the days of stan-

“Absolutely the No. 1 show in the world...

MAGINE a stage performance so profound, so inspiring, it touches your soul. Let Shen Yun take you on a journey through 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture. Legends, myths, and heroes spring to life through classical Chinese dance. Ethnic and folk dances fill the stage with color and energy. The leaps and flips of Shen Yun’s aerial masters, thunderous battle drums, and singers’ soaring voices are all set to animated backdrops that transport you to another world.

Experience the extraordinary.

“Exquisitely beautiful. An extraordinary

experience for us and the children. The level of skill, but also the power of the archetypes and the narratives were startling.”

“Mind blowing! I probably have reviewed over

three to four thousand shows, which still cannot compare to what I saw tonight!”

—Richard Connema, renowned Broadway critic

—Cate Blanchett, Academy Award-winning actress

“One big poetic event. It’s almost like going to the theater and the movies at the same time.”

—Robert Stromberg, Academy Award-winning production designer for Avatar & Alice in Wonderland

“Mesmerizing! It was like taking a journey to China…Singers, dancers and musicians reclaiming the divinely inspired cultural heritage of China.”

—Donna Karan, creator of DKNY

NOT MADE IN CHINA: Shen Yun cannot be seen in today’s China, where traditional Chinese culture has been mostly destroyed under communist rule. Based in New York, Shen Yun is a non-profit organization dedicated to reviving authentic Chinese culture.

“It’s everything I thought it would be—just

wonderful! It means so much! I can’t tell you how much!

It’s just fabulous!”

—Margaret O'Brien, Academy Award-winning Actress

“Demonstrating the highest realm in arts.

Shen Yun inspires the performing arts circles.”

—Chi Cao, lead actor in Mao’s Last Dancer principal dancer with Birmingham Royal Ballet

“I was in tears, because of the human spirit, the dignity, the power, the love, coming out of those people was astounding... This is the profound, quintessential

end of entertainment, there is nothing beyond this, nothing.”
