Life-saving heroes recognized
By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrentcom Four good Samaritans were honored during the Fishers Town Council meeting on April 21 for helping to save the life of a 12-yearAchievement old boy. Joel Tsetse collapsed while playing basketball at Fishers Junior High on Feb. 22. Fishers Police Sgt. Troy Fettinger witnessed his collapse, called for emergency medical help and administered a shock from the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) that he retrieved from his patrol car. In the meantime, four people who were at the basketball game joined in the effort to help Joel, giving him CPR and providing support until emergency crews arrived. Their efforts saved Joel’s life. The four are Dr. Jason Hollingsworth; Tom Fettinger, father of Sgt. Fettinger and an EMT; Dama Fettinger and Kristin Eiteljorge.

Diners may present the event flyer on a smartphone or a printed copy and 10 percent of the bill will go to the camp. They also can donate directly to any of the firefighters. The annual goal is to raise enough money to cover the week’s cost for one camper, which is estimated to be more than$1,000. For more info, go to currentinfishers.com.
The four received hero awards from the Fishers Police Dept. and the Fishers Dept. of Fire and Emergency Services. They also received Certificates of Appreciation from Heart Reach Carmel, a nonprofit organization that donated an AED to the Fishers Police Dept. in honor of Joel. Joel and his family were also in attendance for the ceremony. In other action, the Council also approved a proposal by Councilman Stuart Easely to form a committee of three school board members and three town council members to try to help solve Hamilton Southeastern School’s budget issues. The goal is to find budget efficiencies between the two entities including the possibility of having the Town of Fishers purchase land from HSE for use by the town. The other goal of the committee is to focus on a plan to lobby the Indiana General Assembly to change the current Operating Funds Formula that impacts schools.

Securing bus funding for HSE
By State Sen. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis)
If students can’t get to school, they can’t get a good education. Many Hoosier families depend on safe and reliable bus government transportation provided by school corporations to take their children to and from school each day. Unfortunately, recent budget shortfalls have jeopardized bus systems at some schools across the state, including Hamilton Southeastern in Fishers. During the most recent legislative session, lawmakers worked to help struggling schools find a solution to their transportation concerns. Though it didn’t gain much attention, a new law was passed that will significantly benefit Hamilton Southeastern school system. House Enrolled Act 1062, which I co-sponsored, allows school corporations that have lost at least 10 percent of their transportation fund levies to use money from other funds to pay for transportation through 2016. With an estimated loss of 13.1 percent, Hamilton Southeastern qualifies for this protection. Transportation fund losses – like Hamilton Southeastern is experiencing – are due, in part, to recent property tax reforms that prioritized debt payments to make sure local governments could keep their financial commitments. I supported this reform because when
schools and other local governments issue debt, they have a moral obligation to keep their promise to pay it back. Though this is a fiscally responsible change, it created some challenges for certain school corporations. State leaders recognize this, and are committed to helping these schools adapt to the new system. HEA 1062 will give schools flexibility to spread out transportation costs and restructure debt, ensuring bus fleets remain intact and capable of providing a vital service to residents. But the new law also encourages schools to maintain fiscal responsibility going forward. Like all units of government, school corporations must be good stewards of taxpayer funds. Keeping taxes low and government efficient are strong Hoosier values. Commitment to these principles helps grow our economy and maintain the fiscal stability that our state is known for around the country. As your state senator, I will continue to promote smart government while ensuring vital public services are funded and providing the intended benefits to Hoosiers.

Challenges ahead for new city Commentary by Larry Lannan Fishers voters will head to the polls on May 6 to begin the process of electing the new city government. This will be a elections major change in the way our local government works. We have had seven town council members. They were required to live in their districts, but all seven councilors were elected by the entire town. In essence, Fishers has had seven mayors. In order to get anything done, it would take four of those seven council members to pass any major actions. On January 1, 2015, that all changes. We will have a mayor in Fishers. Indiana law confers a great deal of power and authority to the office of mayor. The nine-member city council will primarily have authority over city ordinances and will act on the mayor’s budget proposals. The council is also allowed to conduct its own independent investigations. The new city council is expected to form committees for much of its work. Look for council panels to be formed around operations such as public safety, community development and transportation. The relationship between the mayor and the council will be very important. For the new city to move forward, the mayor and council need to be on the same page.
If you don’t think that’s important, look to a city just west of Fishers. Disputes between the mayor and city council there are well documented. It will take time for the new mayor to get traction and for the city council to organize itself. It’s difficult enough to reorganize a city government when there is a large turnover in elected officials. Starting a city from scratch will present some major challenges and it will take time to work through all the issues. Fishers has faced predicaments in the past. No matter what form of government we have, it will be the quality of our elected officials that will be the most important factor in overcoming any problems transitioning from a town to a city. Fishers had a spirited debate in 2012 on which form of government to adopt and the traditional Indiana city with a strong mayor’s office won the referendum by a wide margin. The 2014 city election has prompted some spirited debate as well. The Town of Fishers had a population of roughly 11,000 when I moved here in 1991, and has grown to nearly 85,000 in 2014. If Fishers can manage that kind of growth, we can manage anything.

Signs for the times
By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com
Watch for signs going up soon that will welcome motorist to Fishers. At its meeting on April 7, the Town Council development approved contracts to have the signs made and installed at 13 locations around town that were chosen because they are either a city gateway, a key entry point gateway or a district gateway. The locations designated are: 96th Street and Allisonville Road, 146th Street and Allisonville Road, 136th Street and Olio Rd and Southeastern Parkway, 96th Street and Olio Road, 96th Street and the I-69 Interchange, 116th Street and the I-69 interchange, 141st Street and Ind. 37, 116th Street and Lantern Road, 96th Street and Hague Road, 116th Street and Eller Road, 96th Street and Fall Creek Road, Fall Creek and Brooks School Road, 113th Street and Olio Road, 106th Street and Geist Road, and the future 106th Street and I-69
interchange. The gateways that are in the Geist district will include a sculptural element of an abstract sail and sailboats celebrating the water theme of the area. The Geist welcome signs also will use a distinctive logo. The first to be installed will be the signs at 96th Street and Allisonville Road The plan, developed by the Fishers Community Development staff with the departments of Public Works and Engineering, has two phases, the second of which is a wayfinding plan with streets signs that will direct visitors to important or popular sites. The plan calls the gateway and wayfinding initiatives “important in raising the public’s awareness of Fishers’ assets and nurturing a sense of civic pride through consistent branding”. And it notes that “this will give the city a competitive edge as a regional destination for visitors; a rewarding place to live, work and play; and a desirable community in which to own a business”.

You may never have heard of the Mira Awards, but for technology-related businesses, they are like the Oscars. The Mira Awards recognominations nize companies, schools, startups and individuals who have had high achievement in project-oriented categories like mobile, health and marketing tech; as well as tech services and tech sales and marketing.

One is Social Health Insights, which, according to its co-founder, Brian Norris, is a company that offers tech and social media services and products for the healthcare industry. The company which calls Launch Fishers and Washington, D.C., home was launched full time in March 2013 and has a mix of commercial and government clients. Norris says he thinks the company’s nomination for a Mira Award comes from their uniqueness in their approach and focus in the healthcare sector. “As we begin to venture further into consumer managed healthcare and managing populations, technology, such as wearable devices/applications, social analytics and big-data feeding, intuitive decision support becomes imperative.

We are positioned uniquely with the right skill sets to help our clients,” says Norris. Another Launch Fishers company that is up for a Mira is Sticksnleaves, which is a productdevelopment consultancy that builds and launches new web and mobile apps for clients. It was founded in 2010 and has grown to five full-time employees in Kokomo, Cleveland, Portland, and Fishers. Co-founder Yaw Aning says it has aggressive growth plans this year to double its team. “ We anticipate most of our new hires to be Indianapolis-based, and after working for the past eight months out of Launch Fishers, we plan to stay in Fishers because of all it has to offer growing companies,” he says. He says they are humbled by the nomination. He adds that Launch Fishers has been instrumental to his company’s growth. Mira winners will be announced during a black-tie awards ceremony and gala on May 3 at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis.

New street construction will create on-street parking on Maple St. (Photo by Ann Craig-Cinnamon)
Street improvements on the way
By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com
Road construction projects soon will begin downtown that could make it tough to get around in the short term. But, according to Jeff development Hill, the director of engineering for the Town of Fishers, it will provide better traffic flow and more parking in the long term. The Fishers Town Council, at its meeting April 7 approved the awarding of about $3.5 million in contracts for construction work, which, Hill says, includes a variety of things such as road projects, new pavement, drainage improvements, rail crossing and rail improvements and water-andsewer infrastructure improvements. Specifically, one plan is to reconstruct Maple street from 116th street north to a new road which will be the extension of Fishers Corner boulevard from the store. Right now that road dead-ends, but after this work is completed it will extend across the railroad tracks and tie into the municipal complex by Town Hall. “The projects will rebuild the road to help alleviate some traffic in the downtown area as well to help people get from the municipal complex area on the west side of the tracks to the east side where some of the existing businesses are, with-
out having to access 116th street where we are wanting to have commuter traffic to still be able to get through the downtown area,” says Hill. He says the rail crossing north of the train station will be upgraded to allow road traffic to cross where it doesn’t today along with new safety features like flashing lights and gate arms. The construction project also includes the installation of water and sewer pipes so that businesses and homes in the downtown area that are currently on wells, can connect to them and future buildings and businesses will have quick and easy access to sewer and water services. And a large underground water culvert will be built to store storm water which will help alleviate flooding such as that seen in recent weeks. Parking also is being addressed with several dozen on-the-street spaces being created along Maple street and Fishers Corner boulevard. in addition to the parking garage that is part of the new downtown development project. “We are wanting to not only create transportation options but also a place where people can find a place to park and get out of their car and walk around,” Hill says. And he adds that there will be more sidewalks to walk on too. The projects are slated to get under way in May and be finished in time for the State Fair train’s annual run in August.

If you venture to the area around 101st Street and Cyntheanne Road, you’ll see lots of activity and a big pile of dirt. That’s where Fishparks ers newest and most unique park is being built. On April 22, city officials broke ground on the park, which Fishers Town Manager Scott Fadness promised would bring something diverse to Fishers. “Our parks help preserve the lauded quality of life here in Fishers and the offerings in this park will bring something new, and inclusive, to our community,” he said. The year-round park will offer mountain bike trails, more than a mile of walking trails, tree houses, a fishing pond and a 50-foot sledding hill. The tree houses and sledding hill are Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant and will be accessible to all ability levels. Twenty acres of the 60-acre park will be dedicated to reforestation of areas near the entrance
to the park and throughout the bike trails. The sledding hill is being created through a partnership with local developers who donated dirt from houses under construction. In fact, when it is completed, the hill will contain 20 basements worth of soil that was repurposed to develop the hill, which complied with the sustainablility goal of the new park. John Weingardt, Fishers Town Council president, said the town recognizes the importance of parks and greenspaces in the community. “Not only do improvement projects like this one increase property values and attract residents, it also brings visitors into Fishers and can have a positive economic impact on our community,” he said. Town officials hope the park will be so unique that it will become a regional destination. The park should be open by spring 2015 with sledding open this winter.

Hamilton Southeastern Schools opened two HSE Family Resource Centers recently, one at Riverside Intermediate education and another at Sand Creek Intermediate. The Family Resource Centers are available to all Hamilton County families and exist to help locate assistance for students who experience academic, behavior or social and emotional difficulties. “Currently, the way the centers are set up. we can provide information to parents and refer them to school-based mental health professionals within their home school (such as school counselors and school psychologists),” said Greg Eaken, Ph.D. and behavior specialist for Hamilton Southeastern Schools. “Eventually, we would like to provide more intensive support such as family counseling.” The FRC at Riverside Intermediate is at 11014 Eller Road and is open from 7:35 a.m. to 3 p.m. on school days. Parents should call 594-4320 to make an appointment with Krista Weber, Jennifer Smith, or Jeff Foutty. The FRC at Sand Creek
Intermediate is at 11550 E. 131st Stt. in Fishers and is open on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month from 5 to 7 p.m. Parents and family members may walk in, using Entrance 7. Parents can become acquainted with the FRC at Sand Creek Intermediate by attending the “Helping Students Cope with Anxiety” presentation on May 13. There are two sessions: 5 to 5:30 p.m. and the other from 6 to 6:30 p.m. According to Eaken, the presentation is geared toward elementary students, but there will be recommendations and intervention strategies that are appropriate for older kids. “We are in the very embryonic stages of getting these centers up and running,” said Eaken. “We’ll continue to find resources for parents and caregivers that we can disseminate.” He said they had a great response from HSE counselors and school psychologists in developing and staffing the centers. The centers are closed during the summer months and will re-open in the fall with plans for additional parent meetings. “Our objective is to continue to get word out to the community about the resources we have available,” Eaken said.

On April 22, Chuy’s Tex Mex Restaurant opened its second Indiana location at Hamilton Town Center, 14150 Town Center Blvd., with a ribbon cutting by Mayor John Ditslear. The Texas-based franchise restaurant is owned and run by local businessman Russell Burns. “The unbelievable flavors are unique to this restaurant and I can’t wait to bring them to all my friends and neighbors,” he said. Tex-Mex is an uncommon style of Mexican food with a Texas twist that is typically only found around the TexasMexico border. It combines the Mexican flavors with the southern style of cooking with an emphasis on always serving fresh food. Burns said the atmosphere of the restaurant matches the colorful food that is served. There are three separate dining rooms, each with its own wild theme. Chuy’s is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The shuttle, a covered eight-seat golf cart, will be used to transport hospital and Medical Office Building patients and guests from the parking lot to the building entrances and back to their vehicles. The shuttle will operate Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. According to IU, the patient shuttle program is the result of the first internal fundraising effort by the Office of Philanthropy, which launched at IU Health North Hospital in July 2013. IU Health North Hospital physicians, associates and volunteers raised funds internally to purchase the golf cart to provide the new transportation service to patients and guests. “The new shuttle service is intended to benefit our patients and guests by making their visit to our hospital a bit easier,” said Tracy Miller, director of the Office of Philanthropy for IU Health North, Saxony and Tipton Hospitals. “This program exemplifies the type of donor funded services we hope to continue adding to help our patients and further our mission of fostering the health of our community.”

Vardagen offers locally made clothing By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Vardagen is a Fishers brand which sells locally designed T-shirts, hoodies and other apparel. Both whimsical and edgy, business Vardegan’s screen-printed clothing has styles for men, women and kids. Vardagen uses eco-friendly and organic materials when possible and Indianapolis company The Art Press does the screen printing. It is at 8684 E. 116th St. in the heart of downtown Fishers. The Vardagen store is poised to become a very visible space in the newly developed downtown Fishers. “We’re excited to be a part of the development projects in Fishers,” said Jared Ingold, owner of Vardagen. “(Town Manager) Scott Fadness said that we’re a pioneer of the area.” Ingold emphasized that he is creating a Vardagan brand. “One of the things that make us really unique is that we’re the flagship store for our brand,” he stated. Ingold has an expansion plan that fits right in with all the current downtown development projects. He wants to open a coffee shop in Vardagen’s upstairs space. Ingold explained that when traveling he enjoys spending time in local coffee shops and is inspired to create one in Fishers. He plans to raise some of the money through crowdfunding and hopes to get the community behind the idea of offering coffee for sale in the

Vardagen retail space on the main floor and then allowing customers to hang out in the coffee shop space upstairs. For now the high-quality, locally made Vardagen clothing is the focus of the Fishers location. “The name Vardagen is the Swedish word for “everyday,’” explained Ingold. “We’re doing designs and printing that hopefully people will want to wear every day.” Vardagen’s target market is everyone. “We
reach a very broad age range and we like to do designs that we love and have people include them in their stuff,” said Ingold. In addition to the Fishers location, the Vardagen brand is currently sold in stores in San Francisco, Portland, New York, Key West and Canada. Plans are in the works to include additional retail outlets. “People are still discovering Vardagen,” Ingold shared. “This store is all about building up the community around the brand.”

Chalk it up to wedded bliss Commentary by Heather Kestian We recently cleaned the entire upstairs, moving around a great deal of stuff. When I say “we,” I really mean my husband. He Plain talk did the heavy lifting, while I was left with the daunting task of supervising said move. It was exhausting! In moving things that had not been moved for some time, I found a very treasured binder. It houses all of the hand-written letters between my husband and me from my husband’s days in Iraq. I was immediately moved to tears. We had been married and within a month, he left to go to war. It was heart-wrenching. What if he never came home? What if war changed him? Would we be the same when he came home? Would he still love me? The flood of emotions from our time apart hit me all over again. Of all months to find this treasure, it was appropriate that I should find it in April. Some years ago, we shared our self-written vows, vows we continue to live by every single day. Anyone who said being married is easy, has either had too much to drink or is lying. I love my husband and I have no doubt he loves me, but marriage is work—hard work. It requires sacri-
fice, acceptance, and a willingness to change and adapt. On our way back from our spring break trip, I looked at my husband and said “bad days are better with you than without you. I am glad we are together.” He looked at me, seemed a little puzzled, then said “thank you?” Yes, it is a compliment. It sounded better in my head and maybe it came out wrong, which is why I am writer. At the end of our days on this planet, I hope we are able to say the ride was better because of the company we shared in each other along the way. We have both changed and even when he ticks me off (or on the rare occasion I upset him), at the end of each day, I appreciate his presence in our lives. He is a great dad to our children, enriches our lives, is awesome at trivia, and has a beautiful soul. We are lucky to have him. A very happy anniversary to my better half— I look forward to sharing some cake. Heather Kestian is a Fishers resident and mother. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism, as well as a master’s degree in education. Her family moved to Fishers in 2010.

Just seven and a half months after breaking ground, organizers for the Angel of Hope in Noblesville’s Forest Park construction will dedicate the memorial at 3 p.m. May 4. “This is the most exciting thing I’ve ever done in my life and the most fulfilling,” said Kirk Forbes, memorial organizer. Forbes said the memorial garden is “to help all parents in our community who have lost children.” The Hamilton County memorial will be the 123rd Angel of Hope in the nation. “I think it is an opportunity for closure for a lot of people in the community,” Forbes said. “She truly does represent hope for the whole community. Hope to get you through the grief of losing a child. Sometimes all you have is hope to hang your hat on.” The memorial centers on the Angel of Hope Gary Warren, Bill Eagleson and Randy Neff install statue, which stands about 7 feet tall.

A Well-Deserved Honor Two Fishers veterans participate in Indy Honor Flight
By Ray Compton • news@currentinfishers.com Just as others do when they travel to Washington, D.C., the two aging men from Fishers took in many of the iconic sights on their one-day visit to the nation’s capital in Cover Story early April. Their tour traveled by the Capitol Building, the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Vietnam War Memorial and the multi-acre World War II Memorial. Both cherished the views of the legendary landmarks. However, nothing touched their hearts and souls as much as the greetings they received when their flights exited into the airports at Washington and Indianapolis. Both lobbies were packed with thousands of greeters, who welcomed and thanked World War II veterans Leo Seghetti, Gerold Reilly and 72 other World War II veterans who served as teenagers in the Armed Forces almost 70 years ago. “I got tingles,” admitted Seghetti when he passed by the boisterous and appreciative throng at both airports. “Everyone was thanking you and saying wonderful things to you. A couple of gals even hugged me. What a thrill.” Both Seghetti and Reilly were participants in the fourth Indy Honor Flight trip to Washington to tour the World War II Monument, which is dedicated to the 16 million who served in the Armed Forces and 400,000 who died in the European and Pacific theatres. The monument opened in 2004 and the Honor Flight Network started in Springfield, Ohio, in 2005. The purpose is to provide -- for free -- a one-day trip to the memorial. Since it started in 2012, the Indy Honor Flight has taken almost 300 veterans to Washington. Three more flights (May, September and October) are scheduled in 2014. As noted on the group’s national website, “Time is of the Essence.” The median age of veterans is now 92 and there are fewer than a million veterans alive. Almost 1,000 die daily. “The window is closing,” said Ron May of the Indy Honor Flight. Indeed, Seghetti and Reilly are poster children for the program. Seghetti is pushing 93, while Reilly hits his 90th birthday later this year. But there are also differences between the two. Seghetti was in the Army, landed on Omaha Beach a month after D-Day and survived the
Battle of the Bulge. Reilly served on the USS Snyder for the Navy, and was part of the ship’s cast when it provided escorts to Okinawa and Saipan during the conflict with Japan. He and the Snyder eventually made a post-war trip to Nagasaki, Japan. And their civilian lives also took different directions. Seghetti returned to his hometown (North Judson) to own a hardware store. Reilly, a Fountain Square native, worked at Diamond Chain and Ford. Each now calls Fishers home base, but there is a difference. Reilly lives in a home, while Seghetti is anchored at the Hearth at Windermere assisted living community. Both remain spry, though Seghitti moves in a wheelchair, and on top of their game in their twilight years. Each has endured the pain of losing their wives of more than 60 years and both have overcome the sometimes painful memories war provids. “I didn’t say too much about the war for a long time,” confessed Reilly, whose fleet pursued Japanese submarines and who witnessed dozens of Japanese kamikaza flights “You saw a lot of terrible things. When we stopped by Manila (Phillipines), there was nothing left. Everything was damaged by the war.”
Seghetti also witnessed war’s terrors after his ship of 5,000 soldiers landed and trained in England. As a member of the 29th Division, he and his mates were called to replace fallen officers from the invasion at Normady. His group fought in the Battle of the Bulge, crossed the Rhine River and eventually bedded down on the Elbe River 50 miles outside of Berlin. “Things finally calmed down,” Seghetti remembered. “The Russians were getting closer and the German units would come out with white flags. They didn’t want the Russians to capture them.” Perhaps the final marching order for the two Fishers veterans came in March. That was when
they received notice that they had been accepted on the Indy Honor Flight. Each was accompanied by a guardian (a son-in-law for Reilly and a son of a veteran for Seghetti) on the oncein-a-lifetime experience. The stop at the World War II monument provided numerous reflections for the duo. “It was so nice to see,” said Reilly. But even that sight paled in comparison to the return greeting in Indianapolis. “I have never seen anything like it,” Reilly recalled. “There were two to three thousand people. You couldn’t shake everyone’s hands. It made your heart warm.”

Editor, I wanted to let the citizens of the 5th U.S. Congressional District know that we are being poorly represented by U.S. Rep Susan Brooks. Dan Burton was a true conservative and accordingly he had a Heritage voting rating of 88. The average Republican Congressman now has a Heritage rating of 65. Brooks at present has a rating of 58. This is RINO territory. Recently she has had opportunities to vote to end subsidies for flood insurance. The program which is supposed to be revenue neutral is $23 billion in debt. She voted to maintain the subsidies. In another recent case, on the vote to reauthorize the export import bank she voted with the majority to reauthorize the export import bank. Eighty percent of the business done by this bank is arranged submarket financing for foreign airlines to buy Boeing Airplanes. This is crony capitalism. U.S. Airlines cannot buy Boeing planes at those favorable rates putting them at a competitive disadvantage. According to the Wall Street Journal, had the program been discontinued, Boeing was prepared to arrange outside financing for its foreign customers on its own. In this case, what sense if any was there in reauthorizing the program. The present government will not vote to shrink itself. With so many socialists and communists walking the halls of Congress, Indiana needs all of the true conservatives it can get to represent the state. Sadly, Brooks is not such a person.

We find last week’s news of the IRS complaints about tight budgets - even though the agency paid massive bonuses to misbehaved employees - to be curious and maddening as hell. This, of course, comes on the heels of us taking our annual shellacking on April 15. What it says to us is that we (and you) should have a thank-you note coming for the extra cash bestowed on these (cough) “high-performing” government workers. The awards totaling $2.8 million, to speak nothing of the approximately 27,000 hours in paid-time-off awards, really have us grinding our molars. This tells us, among other things, that an agency that once targeted conservative groups, and some of whose employees did not pay taxes but grabbed handfuls of reward cash without any resulting castigation (except for a boss losing a job), is appearing to be out of control. A report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration uncovered this whole new mess. The watchdog group determined that more than 2,800 employees either were previously disciplined for conduct issues or for failure to comply with federal tax requirements. Oh, and that money that was doled out? You guessed it; it’s yours. As you may recall, we have revulsion for much of the Republican Party and its leadership, but we believe that were a GOP member in the White House at present, this would be front-page, skewering news on a daily basis. But since the liberal, mainstream media is so enamored of the left, the story simply dies on the vine. Either there is universal dismay for this behavior with regard to the IRS (This has to bug you, right?), or America will have thrown in the towel. ••• The May 6 vote will be especially historic for our soon-to-be city.

Commentary by Terry Anker
In recent years, I’ve moved my preference from the often more convenient aisle seat to one by the window. It had been my firm belief that being able to stand up quickly upon landing, and to expand my too-large-for-airplane-seat frame into the shared space of the passageway, made up for being assaulted by fellow passengers carrying handbags that could pass for suitcases hitting me in the head as they made their way past. In addition, I thought that having quick access to the bathroom was worth excusing the other travelers who needed to escape the row at some point. So now, I visit the men’s room before departing and squeeze myself in next to the curving fuselage of the craft. However, with these adjustments, one gains the world. From the window passing below are the sapphire waters of the Florida coast, the vast breadbasket of the plains, and the majesty of the snow-capped Rockies. Each had been unnoticed by me – in my own eagerness to maintain control over my
surroundings, I found that I was missing much of the beauty of the world around me. But the miles high perspective also brings consideration as it brings awe. Views of extensive urban sprawl and ever increasing density raise issues of land use. Views of the retreating water levels of Lake Mead, an important reservoir of fresh water for Las Vegas and much of the southwest, suggest questions of conservation and the immediate dependency that we humans exhibit for our own convenience. And, views of much of the Midwest makes one pause at the agricultural abundance produced by so few for so many. Deception is easy from 30,000 feet. Little is exactly as it appears. Yet from above the clouds, one is reminded that deception is also perpetrated at street level. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC.

Editor, Please put this open letter to all politicians that are still in love with mass transit in Current. From the Car and Driver magazine dated May 2014. UpFront article by Jeff Sabatini andhttp://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dor. gov.bts/files/NTS_Entire_13Q4.pdf: Fatalities in motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for people younger then 35. But, it is not the cars that are the big killers. Here is the truth.. Average fatality rates per 100 million miles from 2000-2011: • Trains (rail transit , all categories) - 33.8 average deaths • Motorcycles - 31.5 average deaths • Trucks and Bus - 10.0 average deaths. • Air Carriers - 5.1 average deaths • Autos - 1.1 average deaths. So, come on, politicians, let us use common sense and realize driving my family auto is safer and cheaper then riding your beloved rail transit. David W. Puckett

An awesome day out with mom Commentary by Danielle Wilson For once I’m going to talk about a positive family experience. So, to all you finger pointers who think my soul is dead inside, humor here’s proof that I can be an awesome mother. I’d been schlepping back and forth between our house and two different middle schools one morning accommodating both band and orchestra performances by my twins. Somewhere along the way, all communication broke down and I actually “lost” one of my seventh graders for 20 minutes. [She’d ridden a bus back to her school with a dead cell phone while I waited for her in the other school’s parking lot.] Suffice it to say, after hauling tail across town to get her home and then turning immediately around to retrieve her brother, I was a tad bit annoyed. Added to my frustration was that I had only 10 minutes to get him to Tae Kwon Do. A fairly standard Saturday morning, true, but nevertheless aggravating. So when my son hopped into the car and said, “Let’s skip TKD, and do something just the two of us,” my immediate reaction was, “No! We have to stick to the schedule!” Then he reminded me that for Christmas I’d given him a certificate for a “Day Out with Mom”, and I realized he had me. I called my husband to tell him I was taking the rest of the afternoon off, and then headed for the nearest bowling alley. “Hurricane” Andrew beat me
squarely in two rounds of pins, even though the first win was only because a glitch in the stupid computer scored him a strike on his 10th frame. (He found that hilarious, of course.) Then we enjoyed a wonderfully fatty meal at Steak-n-Shake while we colored the children’s menu and built a paper race car. Three solid hours of one-on-one time with my youngest son, a soon-to-be teenager. When will that ever happen again? I hope soon, actually. It’s amazing how different children are when they aren’t competing with siblings. Andrew was funny, sweet, engaging . . . attributes I don’t get to see very often amidst a busy household with an obnoxious 15-year-old and fourth-grade drama queen. He kept asking, “What do you want to do, Mom?” even though it was totally his day to plan. As we headed home, I made a mental note to keep “Day Out with Parent” as an annual stocking stuffer. The aforementioned obnoxious 15-year-old has yet to cash his certificate, and I’ve heard mention of “skeet shooting.” I say, bring it on. This awesome mom can’t wait. Peace out.

In a perpetual comma Commentary by Dick Wolfsie I misplace a lot of things: keys wallet gloves the dog’s leash. Recently I misplaced something that may not seem very important humor unless you read that last sentence carefully. Then you will realize that believe it or not I can’t find my comma. Yes it’s true. The comma on the keypad of my iPhone simply disappeared. I will say this: I am very troubled. Where did it go? I don’t know; I still have plenty of other punctuation marks—which I really enjoy using. But I want my comma back!!! There has been a lot written about how a comma can change the meaning of a sentence. A bestselling book titled Eats Shoots and Leaves actually has a comma after the word “Eats” describing a murderer who pauses for a snack before firing at his intended victim. Without the comma it’s the dietary habits of a Koala. So where did my comma go? I went to the store where I purchased my cell phone and asked the sales rep John. “Wow that’s a new one on me” he said. Is it really that important to have a comma on your phone?” “Yes it’s important. You can’t write a newspaper column without commas (as I’m attempting to do now) at least I don’t think so.” I explained that finding this comma was crucial to being precise and avoiding confusion and that I was not going to be happy without a comma key on my phone.
“When was the last time you used a comma in a message Mr. Wolfsie?” “Well last week I texted my wife a list of things I wanted her to get at the supermarket: hot dogs beans soda apples lettuce potato chips cookies canned soup.” “Did you punctuate that sentence correctly?” “Of course I’m very punctual.” “That’s a lot of commas for one text. Which plan are you on? “Wait a second. You’re telling me I get unlimited minutes but not unlimited commas?” Another tech guy came over to help me. We weren’t really making any progress so the store manager finally stepped in to assist and said to his employee: “It’s your lunch hour why don’t you go eat Joe?” I don’t know who Joe is but apparently he’s very tasty. Oh, wow, I just figured out where the comma key is. Apparently, I inadvertently switched to the Canadian keyboard on my smart phone, which does not have a comma in some versions. But wait, now I seem to be missing another punctuation mark. Not the whole thing, thankfully, just half of it. (You’ll never guess which one.

Classical singers, musicians combine forces By Jay Harvey • editorial@youarecurrent.com Being a little late in a good cause may be a trivial problem when the payoff is expected to be huge. That’s what Eric Stark, artistic director of the Indianapolis Symphonic concert Choir, is anticipating when he conducts more than 300 musicians at the Palladium on May 3. In 2013, international observances of the Benjamin Britten birth centennial were widespread. The British musician had made his mark in the 1930s, and by the time he died in 1976, was considered his country’s greatest composer of the 20th century’s middle decades. His “Ceremony of Carols” is frequently heard at Christmastime, and his opera “Peter Grimes” is one of the few modern operas to have a solid place in the repertoire. Stark planned to climax last season’s schedule with a concert devoted to “War Requiem,” Britten’s setting of the Latin Mass for the Dead and poetry by Wilfred Owen, who died in service to king and country mere weeks before the Armistice ended the First World War. The work was commissioned for the 1962 consecration of Coventry Cathedral, which had been damaged in World War II. But Stark wanted to lead up to the event with a tour of sites significant in Britten’s life beforehand, building anticipation and support among the choir’s donors and friends. Since those concerned with the Britten legacy in the United Kingdom were renovating one of those sites in 2012, the Symphonic Choir’s tour was delayed a year, until last June. In 2006, Stark had mounted a performance of “War Requiem,” which demands three adept vocal soloists, a large orchestra, and choirs including a boys’ (or children’s) choir, at St. Luke’s Methodist Church. Though he remains grateful for the church’s accommodating the massive concert, landing the Palladium for the 2014 centennial performance is especially exciting because “it’s the best option in the area,” he said. Six rows of 50 seats each will be occupied by choristers, comprising 150 Symphonic Choir members, the 40-voice Butler Chorale and 15-20 members of the Indianapolis Men’s “War Requiem” by Benjamin Britten • A performance featuring the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, Indianapolis Children’s Choir, members of the Butler Chorale and Indianapolis Men’s Chorus, three soloists, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, all conducted by Eric Stark • 8 p.m. May 3 • The Palladium in Carmel • Tickets start at $30 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org.

Tickets, which are $5, are available at 839 Conner St. or at the event. For more information, visit www. noblesvillemainstreet.org.
Conductor Eric Stark will lead a performance of Benjamin Britten’s “War Reqiuem” on May 3.
Chorus. About 100 members of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir will be placed in the gallery at the rear of the hall. That leaves the stage for a 100-piece orchestra (the Indianapolis Symphony plus extras) and three soloists: soprano Sinead Mulhern, tenor Thomas Cooley, and baritone Christopheren Nomura. Stark, who was just named a Sagamore of the Wabash, is now in the midst of a week of rehearsals, culminating in two rehearsals for the massed forces on Thursday and Friday in the Palladium. “There’s a real through-line to this piece, with the full chorus singing the Latin text only, yet it’s still amazing how the Owen text seems to have been written just for this piece,” Stark said.
Britten was explicitly a pacifist, and this work goes beyond mourning the dead and their sacrifice in order to protest against war in general. “The poetry reflects the ghastly horror of trench warfare,” Stark said. “Any romanticized notion is rendered insincere and farcical. Whatever one’s political beliefs, we can rally around the thought that we should treat each other with compassion.” Related event – Half-hour “Words on Music” at 7:10 p.m. May 3 in the hall featuring ISC scholar-in-residence Dennis Shrock, a member of the choral faculty of Texas Christian University and former conductor of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale. It’s free to ticket-holders.

‘Yonkers’ more than just one-liners
By Terri Spilman • editorial@youarecurrent.com The Carmel Community Players continue their “Season of Restoration” with the opening of Neil Simon’s award-winning theatre play “Lost in Yonkers” on May 1 through May 11. “The play is different than Simon’s other snappy one-liner plays in that it is more from the heart with deeper characters which makes it among his more poignant works,” said Director Jim LaMonte. “In short, the play is an actor’s dream, and Simon maintains a balance between poignancy and humor in this moving production.” Winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, the “Lost in Yonkers” is set in the city of Yonkers, N.Y., during 1942 and focuses on the lives of two teenage brothers - Jay and Arty - who are dropped off at the house of their stern grandmother and mentally-challenged Aunt Bella by their father, Eddie, who took a job as a traveling salesman after the death of their mother. “The action is filtered through the eyes of 15-year-old Jay (Jude Binkley of Carmel) and his younger brother Arty (Christian Baltz of Carmel). I am so lucky to have these talented boys in the show. Their ability to deliver far exceeds their ages,” LaMonte said. “I think audiences are going to be charmed with them.” Other leading cast members are Nan Macy (Columbus, Ind.) as Grandma, and Jean Childers
From left, Christian Baltz, Jean Arnold, and Jude Binkley from Carmel Community Players will stage a presentation of “Lost in Yonkers” in May. (Submitted photo)
Arnold (Carmel) as Bella, with supporting roles by Jeremy Tuterow (Indianapolis) as Eddie, Joe Aiello (Carmel) portrays gangster Uncle Louie, and Robin Contrell (Indianapolis) plays Aunt Gert. “Most of Simon’s work is centered on the comedy. Which is great. You go see it, you laugh and go home. With ‘Yonkers,’ there is a lot more to take with you when the curtain falls,” LaMonte said. “Lost in Yonkers” • 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays • May 1 through May 11 • Tickets are $15; seniors (62+) and students $12 • For more information visit www.carmelplayers.org.

Jewish Film Festival makes debut By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com
The premiere of the Indianapolis Jewish Film Festival will feature nine thought-provoking movies as a part of a weeklong event, movies including a documentary shown at University High School in Carmel. The inaugural festival, which takes place from May 3 to 10, will showcase a variety of film styles, from historical documentaries to dramas to light-hearted comedies. Panel discussions will precede some of the films, including some controversial movies such as “Trembling Before G-D,” a film about Hasidic Jews confronting their homosexuality. Robert Epstein, an Indianapolis attorney and local Jewish community leader, organized the festival as a way to explore many aspects of Jewish life and history. He said a group of about 20 people, not all of A week of movies – All films cost $10 except the May 4 showing and gala which costs $30; the May 9 showing is which are Jewish, narrowed down free. about 200 films to the nine they are • “David,” 7 p.m. May 3 at the Central Library in Indianapolis showing.

The film explores how the conflict affects the area to this very day. University High School was chosen as a location because it is home of Congregation Beth Shalom, but families of any students at the high school can receive free tickets to the movie. Many of the films will be shown at Christian venues because Epstein wants this festival to be welcoming to people of all faiths. Not only will rabbis be present, but ministers and priests will participate in panel discussions. For more information visit www.indianapolisjewishfilmfestival.com.

PRESENTS
‘Six Days’ that changed the world Commentary by Christopher Lloyd Made 40 years after the war it documents, “Six Days in June” is a powerful lesson in history and human fallibility. Though it lasted less than a reviews week, the Six-Day War has had a more profound impact on global politics than just about any other conflict in the latter half of the 20th century. Fearing an imminent attack on all sides from mounting Arab forces, Israel launched a preemptive offensive that crushed their enemies’ armies and expansively redrew the boundaries of the still-young Jewish state. The result was a Jerusalem and Gaza Strip controlled by Israelis but rife with stateless Palestinians, and a Middle East defined by Arab/Muslim antipathy toward Israel. Essentially, everything that has happened since - from terrorist intifadas to broken peace talks - has arisen out of that brief and deceptively decisive military action. Director Ilan Ziv painstakingly paints a portrait of the geopolitical situation before, during and after the war. Relying not just on archival footage, he also conducts modern interviews with key figures, both Jews and Arabs, from the highest levels of the government to common foot soldiers, journalists and bystanders. We learn what the fighting was like on the ground - the quick annihilation of the Arab air forces, rendering their forces on the ground ef-

fectively impotent as Israeli tanks moved in. Ziv is careful to present the reasoning, emotions and miscalculations of those on both sides of the war. The film reaches two key conclusions. First, that Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, the regional strongman who whipped up pan-Arab opposition to Israeli, was a self-aggrandizing bluffer who didn’t really want to go to war - at least not until his side was militarily dominant. Second, that Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol was bullied by his generals into a first blow that won the day but set up decades of resentment and struggle. “Six Days in June” looks back on that fateful war with clear vision and sobering insight.

Riverview Health has received its third Chest Pain Center Accreditation from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient achievement Care, an international not-for-profit organization that focuses on transforming cardiovascular care. “We first received the Chest Pain Center Accreditation in 2007 and, today, we’re proud to be the only full-service hospital in Hamilton County with open heart surgery capabilities that has this distinction,” stated Tammi Nash, director of Clinical Operations at Riverview Health. “More importantly, this accreditation is a reflection of our dedication to the people we serve and the high standards we have in place when it comes to treating patients with heart attack symptoms. The sooner a heart attack is treated, the less damage to the heart and the better the outcome
for the patient.” To become an Accredited Chest Pain Center, Riverview Health engaged in rigorous evaluation by SCPC for its ability to assess, diagnose and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. To the community served by Riverview Health this means that processes are in place that meet strict criteria aimed at: reducing the time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and treatment; treating patients quicker during the critical window of time when the integrity of the heart muscle can be preserved; and monitoring patients when it is not certain they are having a heart attack to ensure they are not sent home too early or needlessly admitted to the hospital. Riverview Health offers a spectrum of care for heart patients and includes such focal points as dispatch, an emergency medical system, emergency department, cutting-edge cath lab, quality assurance plan and a community outreach program.

Exercise works – Exercise can help you get a good night’s sleep, especially if you’re older. In a small study in Sleep Medicine, researchers found that people (55 years or older) with chronic insomnia who started doing aerobic activities reported significantly better sleep, mood, and vitality than those who did nonexercise activities.

Melatonin – Melatonin used to be promoted as a way to treat insomnia and prevent jet lag, but now it’s touted to treat or prevent everything from fatigue, anxiety, headaches, and depression to dementia, tinnitus, irritable bowel syndrome, and skin damage from the sun. Not to mention heart disease and cancer, as well as menopausal symptoms and all the other signs of aging. Generally, anything that’s marketed as a cure-all should set off warning bells, but some of the claims are well-supported. Eat the correct number of calories – Metabolism is the chemical process in the body that converts the food you eat into fuel. The result: You get the energy that keeps you going each day. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories per day your body naturally burns at rest, stated Louis Aronne, MD, an obesity specialist at the New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center. Knowing your number is key because it means you’ll be aware of exactly how many calories to consume to maintain your weight (or lose or gain, if need be).www..health.com

March 2014, 129 homes sold in Fishers, a decrease of 104 homes compared to March 2013. Similarly, sales in Hamilton County fell 31.1 percent to 462 homes. • The number of homes for sale in Fishers fell slightly. In March 2014, 508 homes were on the market, which is a decrease of 26 homes from March 2013. • For the first three months of this year, homes in Fishers remained on the market an average of 77 days, 11 fewer days compared to the same time period last year. Now that harsh winter conditions have finally lifted, we expect warmer weather will attract more potential buyers to open houses. As we move into the second quarter, we believe home sales will increase and prices will remain strong.
March building permit reports indicate that in central Indiana, single-family building permits increased 3 percent construction compared to March 2013 year-to-date and have increased 21 percent during the past month. Reports indicate there have been 1,138 new home permits issued so far this year compared to 1,104 in 2013. “We are excited to be seeing the month-to-
month and the year-to-year increases in permit numbers once again,” said Steve Lains, CEO of the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. “It is clear that housing creates jobs and is extremely influential in creating the strong economic viability we are beginning to see again here in central Indiana, and we expect to see those numbers continue to rise,” Lains said. In central Indiana, the permits issued through March 2014 have created a total economic impact of $203,797,368 in local income, $46,265,376 in local taxes and 3,450 local jobs.

DISPATCH Followers for a price - Whoever said, “Money can’t buy you friends,” clearly hasn’t been on the Internet recently. Retweets. Likes. Favorites. Comments. Upvotes. Page views. You name it; they’re for sale on websites like Swenzy, Fiverr and countless others. Many of these “friends” live outside the United States, mostly in India, Bangladesh, Romania and Russia — and they are not exactly human. They are bots, or lines of code. But they were built to behave like people on social media sites. They have real-sounding names. They keep human hours, stopping activity during the middle of the night and picking up again in the morning. They share photos, laugh out loud — LOL! — and even engage in conversations with each other. And thousands can be bought, all for the price of a cup of coffee. So don’t trust something on Twitter just because it has tons of like. SOURCE: New York Times

For Helping Us Place 20 Life Saving AED’s!
There are over 1,000 sudden cardiac arrests in the US everyday! Just recently, a 12 year old boy in Fishers and a referee in Carmel were saved by an AED… a true testament to the importance of placing AED’s throughout central Indiana and here at home.
Young Christian girls in Spain dream of marrying in the Mezquita, the Great Mosque of Cordoba. At the same time, Muslims travel are barred from praying in the building that illustrates the best of early Islamic architecture and manifests Spain’s turbulent religious history. During the early first millennium A.D., the Mezquita’s current location was the site of a temple to Janus, the Roman god of beginnings. In the 6th century, Cordoba was captured by the Visigoths, Germanic Christians deemed heretics by the established church became they refused to accept the divinity of Jesus. After their leader converted to orthodox Christianity in 589, the Visigoths razed the temple and built a church, whose mosaic floor can be seen through a cutout in the floor of the Mezquita. Muslims from North Africa conquered Cordoba in 711 and used part of the Visigoth church as their mosque. Later in the 8th century, Abd alRahman I, an exile from Syria, established an Islamic dynasty centered in Cordoba and reportedly purchased the site of the Visigoth church for a mosque modeled on the Great Mosque of Damascus. The mosque was expanded by al-
Rahman I’s successors until it covered almost six acres. A flat wooden roof, capable of shading 20,000 worshippers, was supported by 856 Roman columns from earlier buildings, their heights extended by novel double brick and stone arches suggesting palm trees. In 1236 Christians reconquered Cordoba, at the time one of the most important cities in the world. Instead of demolishing the Great Mosque, as they had other Spanish mosques, church leaders removed a large section of the roof and the columns supporting it and erected an ornate cathedral in the middle of the mosque. The cathedral, incorporating gothic, baroque and renaissance themes, remains surrounded by the original columns. When Holy Roman Emperor Charles V observed the mutilation of the mosque by the embedded church, he reportedly expressed regret at having authorized the construction. That decision nonetheless preserved most of the Mezquita, now Spain’s second most visited site.

Blending the old with the new in historic kitchen remodel

After living in the house 19 blueprint for years, the homeowners improvement realized it was time to update. “When the oven broke, I wanted to replace it with a new double oven but the space didn’t work. That’s when we decided to go ahead and remodel the entire kitchen as opposed to just replacing the oven.” MORE ISLAND SEATING: The original island did not accommodate enough seating for the entire family. The base of the island was reduced, giving the countertop the needed overhang for additional bar stools. Also, the cooktop was relocated to the perimeter making it safe for the entire family to dine at the island. UPDATING EXISTING CABINETS: “The original cabinets were dark with poor storage. However, they were still in great shape so we decided to keep them.” Existing cabinets were modified by a carpenter to make way for new stainless steel appliances. The base and perimeter cabinets were professionally painted with a beige color, making the kitchen appear larger. The island and pantry cabinets were painted in a contrasting gray. COUNTERTOP AREA: Solid surface countertops in a “Mocha Granit” color were chosen for the perimeter, including a beautiful stone backsplash tile called “California Gold”. “The backsplash is our

double bowl under-mount stainless steel sink, a Delta pull down faucet and a matching filtered water faucet. The brushed nickel cabinet knobs were salvaged from the original kitchen, which blended perfectly with the new design of the kitchen.
