DISPATCHES

By Mackenzie Klahr • news@currentinfishers.com

With the average workday longer than ever and obesity rates rising, the correlation between sitting all day and weight increase is new ideas a hot new topic of discussion.

A product developed in Fishers, TreadDesk, addresses the problem.

The TreadDesk is very much like a treadmill, with the exception of having an adjustable desktop made specifically for walking while working.

Jerry Carr, president of TreadDesk Inc. and the inventor of the machine, said he came up with the idea when he switched jobs and began sitting for the majority of the day.

The machine is not intended to be a workout, but instead to prevent health problems and increase productivity in the workplace.

A study done in Minnesota found that the workers who used the TreadDesk on and off throughout the day walking increased their productivity by 10 percent.

The speed is based upon a person’s stride and height. The fastest a machine will go is 4 mph while the general starting pace is 1 or 2 mph.

The majority of people who buy the machines do so to lose weight, but Carr believes the benefits are mostly mental.

“When you stand up and start moving, your blood flow increases and your brain is more engaged,” he said, “At the end of the day you’re more productive and get a lot more done.”

One of the company’s expressions is “Sitting is the new smoking.” The mindset behind that phrase is that for a long time, many people did not know smoking caused adverse health effects.

“The more the general public is educated on how bad (smoking) was for you, the fewer people started to do it, now sitting is in that early stage as smoking was,” Carr said.

TV show host Jimmy Kimmel is one of many celebrities to use the TreadDesk. He has bought products for his house and work and has since lost 50 pounds.

Lawyers are the most common workers to purchase the product, but customers range from students to at-home authors who need the desk to prevent writer’s block.

Companies such as Google and Microsoft are large

Share the Road

By Marti Babb • news@currentinfishers.com

The Town of Fishers recently installed Share the Road signs throughout the Fishers area.

What does Share the Road mean safety for both motorists and cyclists?

Learning and understanding the concept behind “Share the Road” can help promote safer roads and decrease stress for drivers and cyclists alike. These simple yet important ideas come directly from bicycleindiana.org.

Motorists’ responsibilities include: • Passing cyclists with care. Slow down and give cyclists at least 3 feet of clearance when passing. If there isn’t room, be patient and wait until it’s safe to pass.

• Don’t honk. A car horn can startle a cyclist, causing a wreck.

• Treat bicycles like other vehicles. Never cut cyclists off. Yield to them when turning. Always assume cyclists are traveling straight unless they signal otherwise.

Cyclists’ responsibilities include: • Obey all traffic laws.

• Stop at stop signs and traffic lights.

• Signal all turns.

• Ride with traffic, in the right side of the lane.

• Use lights when it’s dark.

Here are a few rules cyclists must follow AND drivers must accommodate: • Two abreast. Cyclists may ride twoabreast, even in traffic.

• Room to ride. Cyclists are not required to ride on the shoulder or to surrender the lane to vehicles.

• Extra room. Cyclists may move away from the right side of the road when avoiding a hazard such as a pothole, debris, animals or other vehicles.

Bravo to Fishers for helping remind us all to “Share the Road.” Next time we are rushed and need to get to our destination, let these ideas be forefront in our minds.

And don’t forget to sign up for the Give Hope Ride at Givehoperide.com. There are many options for kids, families and avid riders on May 26 at Heritage Park and proceeds benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Dean’s list – Jessica Pongonis of Fishers earned Dean’s List honors at Saint Joseph’s University for the Fall 2013 semester. Pongonis is majoring in Undeclared Social Science at the University. Students must achieve a grade point average of 3.5 or above, a B or greater in all their classes, and complete at least 15 credits to earn Dean’s List status for a semester.

Shifting schools on horizon

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com Changes are coming to some Hamilton Southeastern Schools following approval of building reconfiguration by the School education Board at its April 28 regular meeting. The Freshman Center across Olio Road from the high school will again become a junior jigh for grades 7 and 8 in the 2015/16 school year after freshmen are moved back into a space that has been redesigned for them at the high school. Additionally, the junior high on Cyntheanne Road will be expanded to include grades 5 through 8 in the 2015/16 school year.

The changes are necessary to keep up with enrollment which continues to increase in the eastern part of the district but decline in the western. That has left elementary school classroom size out of balance across the district.

In other board action, new precinct maps were approved for the November election. These were necessitated by population changes.

True love: Forged by tribulation Commentary by Mike Colaw

I have seen true love, but it isn’t where you might think.

After almost fifteen years of ministry, I have seen a bloody trail of mutilated marriages. Children confused and lost. Adults befaith trayed and abandoned. I have seen countless bitter, broken people so shattered they wonder if they could ever be put back together again. Almost every destroyed marriage began with a tender kiss, loving hugs, and dreams of a wonderful future. Then in the wake of a broken world all that “love” melts away.

I don’t see love anymore when a young couple comes into my office to talk about marriage. As they sit across my desk sharing sweet comments, holding hands, and telling me how they just “fell in love,” I smile and think, you have no idea what love is… Don’t get me wrong, it’s sweet and can be fertile ground for real love to grow, but they don’t know love yet.

You don’t fall in love; it’s built with blood, sweat, and tears – over time. Love’s structure rests on covenant, and isn’t refined until that covenant is tested by time and the fires of life.

Then when all is stripped away, love remains…

When all is stripped away, when there is no more sex, no more young beauty, no more

exciting vacations, no more health and no more wealth. There, with everything stripped away, I have seen glimpses of love. Though I have seen the beginning stages of love in young couples, I have only actually seen real love in the elderly, the ones who have been to war and back relationally. The ones who have lost it all and somewhere in the midst of the chaos through the years, they uncovered something so much more valuable than anything material.

They found love.

On the bed of long held sacred covenants I have seen these old couples delight in something that the young don’t understand at all. The cost of that marriage, all the work, all the years, all the struggles have produced such a pure beautiful gift. Love, abiding and unshakable.

Can you see it?

Real love takes time to be built until it is birthed. Its guardrail is the covenant they’ve made and kept, and its value is found in years of deep sacrifice.

This is the love Christ didn’t just demonstrate, but asks us to mimic.

Why am I running for office?

I have a strong commitment to this community and I want to continue doing my part to serve it. I moved to Fishers in 1983 and have been fortunate to serve as the Executive Director of the Fishers Freedom Festival for 21 years. This position has allowed me to give back in many ways to the community I care so much about.

I want to ensure that my administration adheres to the following values: • Transparency: I will ensure that all records and financial information are available to the public.

• Efficiency: I will ensure that the latest technologies are adopted to ensure that our operations are as efficient as possible to ensure that the tax payers are getting the most for their hard earned dollar.

• Collaboration: I will work with all stakeholders to ensure that there is good collaboration and teamwork.

Exceed expectations Commentary by CJ McClanahan A few years ago, I received an email from one of my sales coaching clients letting me know that they were move the needle terminating my contract. I asked for a brief explanation as to why. They indicated that three main factors led to their decision. First, I wasn’t holding their team accountable. Second, I seemed to review the same material each week and third, I hadn’t taught them anything about social media.

I was shocked to hear the rationale behind their decision. I would never agree to hold a sales team accountable (it’s their manager’s job), I review the fundamentals each week until the team begins to put them into practice and I can barely login to my Twitter account.

So, what happened?

The reason this client became dissatisfied with my services had nothing to do with performance. They terminated my contract because I wasn’t meeting their expectations.

It doesn’t matter that I never agreed to these expectations;what matters is that at some point I stopped paying attention to what they really wanted and instead focused on what I thought was important. This type of miscommunication leads to most arguments, both personal and professional.

Assertive advocacy.

Effective solutions.

In theory, exceeding expectations is a simple concept – find out what someone expects and make sure you always deliver a little bit more.

However, it can be very difficult to consistently execute this straightforward idea because we get so focused on ourselves.

If you are interested in growing your business, you had better become an expert in not only meeting, but also exceeding the expectations of your prospects, customers, vendors and employees. Here’s a three-step process to get you started.

First, you need to set expectations. By “set” I mean that you should help them understand exactly what you feel is a reasonable expectation from your company. This is different than simply “understanding” expectations and the distinction is important. Often, your prospects, clients and employees will set unreasonable and unattainable expectations if you let them.

Next, build a set of uncomplicated systems for exceeding these expectations. For example, if you own an accounting firm and have set the expectation that taxes will be completed by April 15, you had better have a system in place CJ McClanahan is the founder and president of reachmore, a leadership training and consulting firm, and also the author of “Thrive.” To contact CJ, or to find out more about reachmore, go to www.goreachmore.com.

Election is only the beginning for Fishers’ first mayor

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com Voters in Fishers go to the polls May 6 and, for the first time, will see the office of Mayor of the City of Fishers on the cover story ballot.

That’s because in a referendum in 2012, those voters decided in favor of making Fishers a traditional second-class city. That vote, along with a change in state law, set up a rather complicated scenario. Counsel for the Town of Fishers, Jennifer Messer of Church Church Hittle & Antrim, says the election of a mayor needed to take place at the next opportunity.

“State law requires the ‘transition election’ to occur on the next election date following the referendum vote, 2014 in this instance. Also by state law, Indiana municipal elections are typically held every four and in odd-numbered years. Therefore, in 2015, Fishers must hold another election in the municipal election year. The officials elected in 2015 are elected for the typical four-year term,” she said.

So that means that whoever wins this election immediately will be faced with another campaign cycle with little time in office to establish a record. Messer said it is a unique situation.

“I am unaware and would be surprised to learn of any (other examples), because the law requiring Fishers’ 2014 election was passed just one year ago,” says Messer.

Another unique aspect of this election is that there are only Republican candidates running for the mayoral office, which has led to the conclusion being drawn that whoever wins the Republican primary will be the first mayor of Fishers. That is, however, not entirely true as it is still possible for other parties to caucus a candidate to run against the Republican candidate.

According to Abbey Taylor, the campaign finance coordinator with the Indiana Election Division, the deadline for that to occur is June 30.

As it stands now, however, there are six Republican primary candidates running for mayor of Fishers. Unless another party selects a candidate to run in November against the winning Republican candidate, the primary winner will be mayor.

Current in Fishers sat down one-on-one with all six candidates and posed the same questions to each. A summary of three of those questions and answers follows. The complete interviews are posted on our website: www.currentinfishers.com.

successful in, and literally took a small family owned independent business doing a couple hundred thousand dollars a year in business to over $21 million in seven years, very much of a shoe string budget.

I was able to bring people together and support me and in shoring up my shortcomings which, knowledge-wise, I didn’t really know anything. But I surrounded myself with people who helped me get there and together we got it done in a very frugal manner. So, I was very successful there. So taking that private business world experience and bringing that to the mayor’s office and sales and marketing that’s definitely what I most qualified to do.

What is the single most important issue for

Fishers? Transparency, without a doubt. Transparency and open government. What I mean by that is that as elected officials we are elected by constituents to be honest and upfront with them and because we are doing their business, so there’s no reason to keep everything hush-hush or quiet-quiet underneath the table but to go ahead and share with them what is going on with their money.

Without taxpayer dollars, we don’t exist.

Why do you want to be mayor? I’m enjoying what I’m doing on the council. I want to take my sales experience and bring it to the next level and make citizens proud of living here in the town of Fishers and soon to be city of Fishers.

So, along with that I have Fishers? A clear vision. I think if you can give the a focus on public finance; so keeping the books community a clear vision that everyone can mar-

shall their resources around and get excited about, the rest will fall in line. I think right now we are at a bit of a crossroads, honestly, about who we are; what do we aspire to be and where are we going.

And I think if we can create that; if we can work together to find that singular vision then I think the sky’s the limit for Fishers.

Why do you want to be mayor? I want to be mayor for a number of reasons. First and foremost is, when I moved here and got involved in this city, I just fundamentally believe that we have a tremendous amount of potential. And I think that I have the right passion, the right vision, the right skill set to see it through. So, when I look at that, I’m just committed to that concept. I wasn’t looking to become a politician, to be honest with you, but the opportunity to serve this community and help facilitate it into its next chapter is something that truly excites me.

Personal: wife, Carlene; two adult children; Fishers resident 40 years Background: Purdue University (IUPUI), BS engineering (engineering management); design/project consultant specializing in transportation Website: MauriceHeitzmanforMayor.com What qualifies you to be the Mayor of Fishers? I understand the needs for the infrastructure. I’ve designed infrastructure and planned it for many years. And that’s a big component. I understand people. I understand what their needs are. I understand what their likes and dislikes are. I’m a pretty good communicator with people; I have to be with the number of people that I deal with on an everyday basis. I understand the family values; the community values; the image. So, with all those technical and personal and social put together, I think I have a pretty good package encompassing the whole span of what the mayor does. I can be a pretty good image for the mayor and I can be a very good lobbyist and communicator for the town.

What is the single most important issue for Fishers? That depends on what perspective you’re looking at. I think the biggest single issue is the quality of life. If you don’t the quality of life you’re going to lose your residents and you’re going to lose your business both. And without that you have no town, no city, no community. So, I think the quality of life is the number one issue. But that includes so many things, including public safety. So many areas are wrapped up into that.

Why do you want to be mayor? I want to be mayor because I became very displeased with our town management as we have it now. I don’t like the way they have been going. I don’t like some of the items that they’ve done as common practice. I believe that we need very strong ethics and integrity in the government and I’m not sure that we have it to the extent that I would like to see it. There are things going on that I believe are very, very questionable and should be looked at very closely.

Personal: Wife: Sheila; three children; four grandchildren; Fishers resident 38 years Background: Indiana University, B.S. in accounting; Retired CPA, retirement distributions and investments; Former Fishers Town councilor serving 21 years, 17 as council president Website: walterkellyformayor.com What qualifies you to be the Mayor of Fishers? Without question, I have the most experience. I was council president for 17 of my 21 years on the council. And that was a period we went and built most of the parks; put a process in place so that development would pay for itself so that’s why we have low tax rates because we had development pay for a lot of the building that we did; park impact fees; road impact fees. So I was at the helm for all those years giving clear and consistent signals to the community and to the developers and businesses. So, I had that experience. Coupled with that experience, and that’s executive leadership experience where you have to make decisions because I was fortunate to be the council president when we had three, when we had five and then when we grew to seven and so we made those as choices because I just thought that was right that to have more people. And did little things that helped symbolize things: created the flag and it was created for a reason and it has a certain symbolism. Started a process almost 30 years ago of having comprehensive annual financial reports and even though it wins an award, the award isn’t what’s important. What’s important Continued on Page 14

Continued on Page 14 is that it gives full and complete disclosure of financial information and it puts a lot of information in there about what we said we were going to do and what we did.

What is the single most important issue for Fishers? Right now, we’ve got to get back on track about what our allocation of resources are to be. There’s never a single most important issue, but that’s a very important issue. Also, it’s going to be important that – as we transition – the mayor and council forge a working relationship because you need to have a working relationship. But there’s also different roles and it’s going to be hard for existing councilors.

I went to the city council debate and some of the things that were talked about were really things that probably the mayor is going to be doing and offering up. But, nonetheless, we need to work together. Fishers was fortunate that we used to not have all the turmoil we’ve seen of recent years. There was a reason for that is that we were responsive to what the community wanted and what they thought they were buying when they moved to Fishers.

Why do you want to be mayor? I think the time is now and I have the most experience and qualifications. My children live here; my grandchildren live here. I have been blessed with good health; I know the history; I know what I started; I know what we put in place; I’m a financial, I shouldn’t say expert (no one should say that), but I am certainly recognized for financial acumen in the public sector. I have helped so many communities in that regard. I have also made sure we had a financial structure and a budgetary process from years ago, fine-tuned by various people over the years. So I understand how all that works. And I have leadership experience where I’ve grown a CPA firm, I’ve grown an office of a CPA firm, I grew Fishers. So, I’ve demonstrated experience so I just think this is what I’m going to do now. I’m not really ready to hang up the cleats.

Marvin scott Personal: Married; four children; Fishers resident one year Background: Received doctorate at age of 26; former college president, tenured professor of sociology at Butler University; former president of Indianapolis Waterworks; former candidate for U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives What qualifies you to be the Mayor of Fishers? I think my contacts on Capitol Hill, number one – in order to get monies that could flow here and discover where they are. I lobbied for Amtrak. We brought back billions of dollars for Amtrak. The governor appointed me to the Midwest Interstate High Speed Passenger Rail Commission and I’ve served diligently on that for many years. Also, I have been on the National Council for the Humanities which is a big deal because you are voted on by senators and they approve and then you serve and I did that for I think three or four years, which is not only an honor, but also gave me greater fervor in terms of understanding how the political process works and being an actual part of it via committees and other kinds of things. So I have a vast amount of knowledge of Capitol Hill and I want to bring my expertise to bear on the position as being the first mayor of the City of Fishers.

What is the single most important issue for Fishers? I think controlling growth and that is making it strategic to the mission of the town; making sure that it’s not helter skelter; or things are not put in strategic locations so people can access it. I think we need a Lord and Taylor as an anchor in one of our malls. We need to have notoriety so that Fishers is a destination – this is where people come. The museum that we have over here where we have memorabilia and that kind of thing held should be made an attraction along with the approval of that, of course, by the people who own it. There are a lot of things that we can do, but that’s not a problem; those are opportunities. I think sustained growth, job creation.

Why do you want to be mayor? First of all, I think it’s a wonderful opportunity. It gives an endpoint in many ways to my career; serving people; having a government that includes people; that’s inclusive and one that has a transparent mayor. There’s nothing you can’t ask me; there’s nothing you can’t want to know about and I think all people should have influence on what we do in this city. And most cities don’t have that. We must have immediate response from citizens in terms of complaints about things that are not handled well. And I’ve sat at the feet of masters and learned how to do that. So, I think I think I come with a set of skills that no one else has.

Elaine Viskant Personal: Married; one son; Fishers resident 18 years Background: Wright College, Illinois-Chicago, Elmhurst College; credit manager, “trailing spouse”, community activist.

What qualifies you to be the Mayor of Fishers?

I’ve been fairly actively involved with major issues in Fishers. From an activist standpoint, I have been environmentally involved. I was involved with the 96th Street and Allisonville flood plain development over there. I didn’t think they should be reworking the flood plain because it would cause problems further down. So I protested with the apartment complex across the street, with the Hoosier Environmental Council, with the Sierra Club and with a bike club. So I was involved in that development down there. I’ve also been involved with Richey Woods where I cut out a whole newspaper article from where we came from in Illinois that was related to developing wildlife rehab centers where depending on where you were in Illinois, they had some centers that were really nice where you could have activity areas for moms and strollers to meet other new moms and strollers. To have

the babies looking at injured animals, like a mini zoo but smaller and more approachable for a new mom (who) can’t travel much.

What is the single most important issue for Fishers? The mass transit issue, because basically it’s a chance to keep us independent versus involved with Indianapolis politics. I think that Chapter 8 housing relieves the pressure for mass transit. If a person could live there, there’s really no reason for them to be traveling across town and if they want to visit a doctor across town when they have a hundred living next door to them or in the vicinity of them, there is really no reason why I should be funding that.

Why do you want to be mayor? The mass transit issue was very, very big with me. The fact that as I was looking at other people’s background I knew that I had more accounting and finance than they did.

They might have more suave in talking; two of the candidates are offthe-cuff type speakers but I talk to hundreds of thousands of people on the phone in part of my credit management, where I can hear intonations and phone voices. I‘m much better on phone than in person because you get confused by facial expressions; you get confused by a lot of things in person but when you are on the phone you can really key into what a person is thinking.

The broken two-party system Commentary by P.S. Barta

“Everyone loves a winner,” as the saying goes.

But can one truly call himself a winner if he is the only one running? Due to the politics broken two-party system, too many candidates run unopposed, even in the Republican primary – therefore never making a case to the voter, nor being “elected” at all. For example, Todd Huston (R), primary candidate for State Representative District 37 is challenger-free in the primary. If unopposed, Huston need not list his position on issues, or answer to the voter at all. In fact, not one voter need vote for him. Running unopposed, he has no mandate to represent his district constituents.

Out of 51 races in Hamilton County in the 2014 primary, only 10 have at least one Democrat listed; 21 races list unopposed Republican candidates.

Why so much apathy? There are several contributing factors but one of them is the absence of a voter-verified paper ballot. Hamilton County uses DRE voting machines, which have a paper tally, but not a voter verified paper ballot. The vote is recorded to machine memory, transferred to a Tally Card chip which is dumped into the vote bucket by the Voter Board. Without a “voter verified paper ballot” neither voter nor election worker can verify the vote was recorded correctly, or do a real recount.

One reason to question this system is the consistent result of Democrat candidates earning 25-33 percent of the vote regardless of their efforts in campaigning. Even as the county experienced rapid population growth, the “third factor” stayed true. Democratic candidates in districts shared with other counties, using other systems, have shown higher vote shares in other counties and have won races.

The Hamilton County, Indiana, two party system is broken. And don’t kid yourself, this break affects both parties. Please help fix the two party system: vote in every election; tell both political party leaders and the HC Election Administrator that you want a “voter verified paper ballot” and multiple challengers for every race for 2014 General Election by May 26th; (Democrat:jzody@ indems.org; Republican: acgreider@hamiltoncountygop.org; Election Office: elections@hamiltoncounty.in.gov) As a voter casting a vote, you can counter balance campaign or PAC money, manipulation of special interest, or how long a representative serves. Now if you’re inspired, work the polls, or even run for office—you’re needed.!

READER’S VIEW Column raises up entire community

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Get out, vote and make history The day Fishers long has waited for is all but upon us. The May 6 primary election will give all of us an idea about who will become the town’s first mayor and lead us all into cityhood.

It’s historic. It’s game-changing. It’s important to the future of the place we call home. Now, at the risk of sounding like a broken record (surely you remember records), we’re asking/pleading for you to get out and vote. We’ve discussed in this space the right and responsibility associated with casting a ballot. We’ve also bemoaned the low voter participation for recent municipal elections. This absolutely is not the time for an anemic turnout. We’d like to challenge the community to participate in record numbers, something that would put an especially fine glow on the races before us. Unless there are extenuating circumstances that preclude you from voting, don’t complain about a thing if you don’t vote. If you do vote, be sure to hold the winners’ feet to the fire. This is about accountability on every plane.

••• The Fishers Department of Parks and Recreation has something pretty cool going for May 10. Residents of all ages are encouraged to attend or try activities for the first time – Try-It Day – at no cost all throughout town from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., including the Nickel Plate District amphitheater stage. This is a rare opportunity to do the town for free, and we urge you to consider taking in some or all of the offerings. In addition to the amphitheater, other stops include: Conner Prairie, disk golf at Cumberland Park, Fishers YMCA, May Bird Count at Geist Park, Indianapolis Sailing Club (explore sailing), Indiana Gun Club (free shotgun rental and members-only pricing) and Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve (hike led by a naturalist). Some offerings have limited space.

For more information, call 595.3111 or visit www.fishers.in.us.

••• You received your Current today because May 6 is the date of the primary election. We don’t want election information in the paper on election days, as delivery of Current can happen into the late-afternoon hours; that does you no good on Election Day. Today, though, you’ll find what you need to know about candidates and voting. And we do hope you’ll vote, because it is your right and responsibility. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

This is about accountability on every plane.

Hearts of gold

Commentary by Terry Anker

On May 14, the American Heart Association here in Indiana will host hundreds of attendees at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis for its paramount fundraising gala, the Heart of Gold Ball. Raising more than $500,000 annually, the event funds pediatric cardiovascular research, increases awareness of childhood obesity, and supports education and advocacy. But perhaps even more importantly, it brings together civic and community leaders, friends and family to spend a Saturday night out for a good cause.

These United States have long benefited from a somewhat unique approach to problem solving. We work together garnering private support, financially and otherwise, to confront the issues pressing ourselves and fellow citizens. Certainly, government has taken an ever increasing role in choosing both the priority and the intensity of allowed interest in matters of philanthropy.

But happily, most of us continue to be directly concerned in an abundance of causes dedicating much towards addressing them.

By April 21, we productive Hoosiers have earned

enough to cover the expense of our State and Federal governments for the year. While the socalled tax freedom day arrived 3 days later than it did in 2013, citizens can now focus our attentions and labor at our own pursuits. Education, housing, food and leisure are among the priorities likely to be addressed. Yet at a rate unparalleled globally, we Americans share. We give away more, in all three categories measured by The Charity Aid Foundation – time, money and support of strangers, than any country rich or poor. A significant and growing amount of our collective toil will go to the benefit of our communities.

A generous friend invited us to join the Heart of Gold Ball at his table. Inspired by his leadership, we will participate joyfully – and contribute. I suspect many of you will too – check out: www.bestheartcare.com/2011/04/26/ the-heart-of-gold-ball.

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K “Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.”

– Elbert Green Hubbard

Editor, I have intended to write you all year to let you know how much my family and I continue to enjoy Don Knebel’s column in the Current.

We are Westfield residents. Currently, I “virtual school” two of my children via K12, a classicallyflavored online charter school. They are currently in grades four and seven. My children’s curriculum includes extensive geography and world history. As an enrichment activity, I have them read and discuss with me your weekly columns.

Several are taped to our home classroom wall. This morning, I opened the paper to your article about the Hagia Sophia. My eight-yearold grabbed it out of my hands in excitement, anxious to read more about the building he had studied during his unit on the conquering of Constantinople. It is my hope that your column will continue for many more years. It is a welcome enhancement to the intellectual quality of the paper and, consequently, our community.

School safety

Editor, Hello. I noticed a couple of weeks ago you guys made the headline story about the safety of the Hamilton Southeastern Schools. Well, I used to be a student there. I guess I should explain. You see, I was bullied for seven years while at the school. Kids would bully me and call me “gay” for my interest in music and the fact that I like to sing. It got so bad that I even thought some really dark thoughts. And my family and I approached the school district many times, but they rarely did anything about it.

But the worst part is that I’m not the only one! When I left, I knew dozens of kids that were excessively bullied. The reason I wrote this letter is because I hope to get some closure and have my voice heard. So just know that things may look nice on the outside, but on the inside it ca be very dirty.

Will Lochary

Wanna write us a letter? You can do it a couple ways. E-mailing it to info@currentinfishrs.com is the quickest and easiest. The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it to Current in Fishers, 30 S.

Saying goodbye to the folks Commentary by Danielle Wilson My husband and I have been talking at length about the death of our parents. It’s not that we’re plotting to bump them off in humor some diabolical scheme to access their life insurance policies; we’re just concerned that we don’t know what their wishes are after they die. Who gets the heirloom ring? The second house? Do they want to be buried, and if so, where? Is cremation on the table?

Doo is one of six kids and I am one of five, and neither of us wants to debate these questions while we are grieving. Luckily both sets of parents are healthy, but you just never know. (Next year my folks will embark on a 31-day cruise around South America where ships sink all the time!) Over the past month, we’ve broached the subject, to get the conversation at least started.

Our parents’ responses have been fascinating.

Both fathers were clearly uncomfortable talking about their mortality. My dad seemed particularly agitated: “Your mother’s getting everything so don’t worry about it. If we both go, you five are on your own. Figure it out.” Then he promptly left the room. My mom on the other hand, immediately went to get a file which contains all her notes on their funeral arrangements. Yes, she has a “file.”

“People plan weddings and retirement parties.

Why can’t I plan for this?” she asked. We talked for 45 minutes on her memorial service, which is

to include three eulogizers (she already has them picked out) and her signature song, Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary.” There is to be no urn or casket or any sad music, and we are to donate her body to the local medical school. “I taught for 33 years; there is no reason I should stop because I’m dead!” Yes, I have an awesome mom.

But when asked about “the estate,” she admitted she hadn’t thought much about it. My parents have a will, but it hasn’t been updated in a while, and no executor has been appointed.

My dad can’t understand why I should care about this. But here’s the deal. If we don’t learn their wishes until after they’re gone, then we can’t ask questions if we need clarity or context.

And unfortunately, that can cause brothers and sisters to bicker, fight, or even worse, sever relationships. All because of a stupid heirloom ring?

No thank you.

So we’re both going to keep pestering our parents to make some tough decisions, and more importantly, communicate those decisions to at least a couple of family members. If they want to give everything to dear Aunt Mary, so be it. They just need to tell us before they die!

Peace out.

Klipsch’s 2014 season offers variety, venue updates

By Dawn Pearson • editorial@youarecurrent.com

Music fans of all genres have a lot to look forward to this summer at Klipsch Music Center, and they can thank themselves for the upgrades and famous artists performmusic ing in the open arena in Noblesville.

Country band Rascal Flatts kicks off the summer concert series, which includes acts from country to rock to rap to ’70s groups.

“The country genre continues to become more popular and make no mistake about it, this is not your grandfather’s country music,” said Andrew Newport, general manager for North American Concerts and Live Nation.

Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban will all make stops through this summer, too.

Fans have new country artists to look forward to as well as camping in Klipsch’s campground.

“We’re thrilled to be hosting two nights of Luke Bryan on Aug. 29 and 30 and will open our on-site campground,” Newport said. “We’re also very excited to host Dierks Bently who is headlining Klipsch for the first time on Sept. 27.”

Classic rock also will be alive and rolling in Noblesville this summer.

“A bittersweet date for us this summer is with Motley Crue with Alice Cooper. While we love hosting these guys, we understand that this is their final tour,” he said. “So if you’ve ever wanted to see them, this could be your last chance to rock out with them.”

Jimmy Buffett travels with one the world’s most “enviable tailgate parties,” and Journey will appear with Steve Miller Band and Tower of Power - one of those shows where everyone will sing along every word to every song.

“KISS & Def Leppard will be stopping by on Aug. 22, and if you haven’t seen either of these bands before, you need to,” Newport said.

There are many new artists performing for the first time as well.

“We love seeing artists that are relatively new to the scene and this year will showcase One Republic, Kings of Leon, Fall Out Boy, Wiz Khalifa and the Goo Goo Dolls,” according to Newport. “Fall Out Boy is a Warped Tour alumni which will visit Indy on July 3. We always enjoyed seeing shots of our venue on Warped Roadies show that airs on FUSE TV.” And it wouldn’t be summer without Klipsch’s staple, multi-night performer Dave Matthews Band. They will be visiting at the end of June.

“We’ll be camping for two nights of DMB,” he said.

Whereas the band has toured with opening acts historically, this year the shows will be an

Newport credits the music lovers for their support.

“We’re fortunate enough to book some incredible artists every season and should thank the fans for coming out year after year. It’s because of the fans that we’re able to continue to bring many of the industry’s hottest acts to Indiana,” he said. “We can’t wait to open the doors to se so many familiar faces and hopefully some new ones as well.”

‘Grace & Glorie’ offers tears and laughs

By Chris Bavender • editorial@youarecurrent.com It’s the story of two women - one a feisty 90-year-old cancer patient who has returned home to die, the other her volunteer hospice worker grieving the death of her theatre only child. The unlikely friendship is the focus of Main Street Productions’ latest offering, “Grace & Glorie.”

“It’s the lovely story of two women from different walks of life who come together and become friends,” said director Doug Davis. “In the process they discover they have a lot in common through the tribulations they have gone through in their personal lives.”

“Grace & Glorie” – set in the Blue Ridge Mountains - features Marty Essig as Grace and Kristen Wilson as Glorie. Wilson has appeared in two other Main Street shows and is directing the upcoming production of “Diary of Anne Frank,” and she said the script touched her heart.

“It was an opportunity for me to bring a beautiful story to life,” Wilson said. “It hit home for me because I moved back here from Florida to take care of my grandmother. She is 91 and has Alzheimer’s. I wanted her to be able to stay in her home where she is comfortable. Doing this play lets me tell my story and doing something I love - acting.”

Davis said patrons can expect a really interesting night at the theater.

“It’s a neat piece – a mixture of comedy and

ADDITIONS • OUTDOOR LIVING • PORCHES From left, Kristen Wilson plays Gloria Whitmore and Marty Essig plays Grace Stiles in “Grace & Glorie.” (Submitted photo)

some drama in there. Mostly at Westfield we do comedy but this has nice mixture,” Davis said. “You are crying one minute and laughing the next.”

“I hope they go away with a new perspective on life,” Wilson said. “The script really does make you see and think about things in a different way. I would love for them to go away with a warm heart & wanting to discuss some questions that might be brought up.”

Area emerging as retiree destination Commentary by Bill Demaree While many retirees often adopt a snowbird mentality where they spend some, if not all, of their retirement in warmer Housing climates, many individuals and couples are beginning to recognize the benefits of strategically relocating to new areas for reasons other than warmth.

Hamilton County and its cities have consistently been recognized as some of the top places to live in the United States, but families and those in the middle of their career aren’t the only ones taking notice.

Retirees living on a fixed income are continuing to find creative ways to maximize their assets, and the metropolitan Indianapolis area, including Carmel, provides ample opportunities for them to stretch their dollar a little further.

One of the big draws for the Indianapolis region is the relatively low cost of living. In fact, in 2013, the Indianapolis region was nearly 10 percent below the national average for cost of living for the entire United States.

Housing prices are also well below the national average. The National Association of Realtors put the median home price nationally in 2013 at $196,900, while the Indianapolis area was nearly $60,000 less at $134,500.

For retirees living on a budget, both of these factors can greatly influence the way they live.

Having to spend more on groceries or a mortgage could translate into less money to spend on traveling, hobbies or other personal pursuits.

A lower cost of living will help extend the assets that have taken them a lifetime to accumulate, and, for retirees looking to downsize, the Indiana housing market provides much more bang for the buck.

Together, these considerations lead to a higher quality of life and provide retirees with additional resources to better take advantage of local amenities without having to worry about draining their retirement savings or spending outside of their budget.

One thing is for certain, successful retirement takes planning and dedication. It also requires individuals and couples to set goals for themselves regarding the type of lifestyle they want to live when they retire.

Whether they seek an active lifestyle, a peaceful destination or a mix of both, Hamilton County and the metro area provide plenty of opportunities for retirees to stretch their assets further and achieve their retirement goals.

Bill Demaree owns Demaree Retirement Services, which specializes in safeguarding and growing assets for clients in or approaching retirement and helping to meet their retirement goals. For more information visit www. demareeretirementservices.com.

11555 N. Meridian St. | Suite 530 | Carmel, IN 46032

Once you have filed your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and your spouse has received notice that the divorce has been filed, it is often helpful for the parties to establish the “ground rules” which will govern certain aspects of their conduct during the pendency of the divorce. Issues that should be addressed preliminary are the custodial and parenting time arrangement, possession of the marital residence, payment of child support and payment of marital expenses. These issues are referred to as “provisional issues.”

If you believe that such ground rules are needed, a provisional hearing (also referred to as a “preliminary hearing”) should be requested in your Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once you request the provisional hearing, the court will schedule the matter to be heard and notify each party (or their attorneys) of the hearing date. Typically provisional hearings are very short and can last anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes, though there are instances where a longer hearing is needed.

Due to these time constraints, it is often beneficial for the parties to reach an agreement on all provisional issues. If an agreement can be reached, the terms are reduced to writing and submitted to the court for approval. There are a number of benefits to reaching an agreement rather than going to court, including: crafting terms of an agreement to meet your families’ needs; saving the expenses associated with preparing and attending a hearing; setting and/or maintaining an amicable relationship

between the divorcing parties; and reducing the stress and anxiety a hearing can cause.

In the event that you and your spouse cannot resolve the temporary issues, you will be required to attend the provisional hearing. This can be a particularly important part of the divorce proceeding. Parties would be well advised to use the preliminary hearing as a forum to position arguments that will be made at the final hearing.

However, it is important to realize that due to the fact that the hearings are often very short, the parties are often the only witnesses and their testimony will be limited to basic matters. Therefore, discussing and preparing your requests with your attorney prior to the hearing is imperative. Following the provisional hearing, the judge will issue a provisional order that will typically remain in effect until your case is resolved. Often times, the order is provided at the conclusion of the hearing. At some point after the preliminary hearing, the parties will typically enter into negotiations on a final settlement, and if a settlement cannot be reached, prepare for the final hearing.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, mediation, collaborative law or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

While regular mammograms are a recommended part of preventive healthcare, some women delay scheduling Wellness them for a variety of reasons.

Understanding the facts – and dispelling the myths – of mammography can help relieve anxiety and shed light on why undergoing regular screening mammograms is so important.

Family history Most women diagnosed with breast cancer – nearly 85 percent – have no family history of the disease. If breast cancer does run in your family, you’re at increased risk of developing it. Talk with your doctor about your family history and any other risk factors you may have.

Age For all women, increasing age is a risk factor for breast cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that women age 40 and older have annual screening mammograms. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggests screening every two years for women ages 50 to 74.

Discuss these guidelines with your doctor. He or she can help determine, based on your medical history and personal risk factors, when and how often you should have mammograms.

Pain and discomfort Some women put off scheduling mammograms because they’ve heard they are painful.

The test takes just a few minutes, and any discomfort you may feel is brief. To help minimize discomfort, schedule the test after your period ends when your breasts are less sensitive. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever before the appointment to alleviate pain.

No breast problems or lumps Mammograms can detect small tumors up to three years before they can be felt. Treatment is most effective when breast cancer is diagnosed in the early stages.

Concern about radiation While mammograms do expose women to radiation, the amount is quite low and presents little risk. Mammograms are considered safe and effective for diagnosing breast cancer early, which leads to a better chance for cure.

Be sure to see your doctor if you notice any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, thickening or discharge. In your efforts to engage in preventive care for your good health, consider the importance of regular mammograms.

Tannery in Fes el Bali, Morocco (Photo by Don Knebel)

Fes el Bali: Travel to a golden age Commentary by Don Knebel

At a time when much of Europe was still intellectually asleep, Fes el Bali (Old Fes) was the “Athens of Africa.” Today this travel walled city within Fes, Morocco, is the world’s largest automobile free urban area, with 9,000 twisting streets so narrow in places that loaded donkeys cannot easily pass.

Idris I founded the city of Fes el Bali in 789 AD as the capital of his new Islamic Empire. The University of Al-Karaouine, now the world’s oldest university, was established in the city in 859.

By the twelfth century, Fes el Bali had become an international center of Islamic learning and culture. Its population of 200,000 made it the largest city in the world. When Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher and physician, left Cordoba, Spain, in about 1160 because of growing tension between Jews and Muslims, he settled in Fes el Bali to continue his studies.

For Fes el Bali’s 150,000 current residents, life is not much different than it was hundreds of years ago, although electricity makes some tasks easier. Merchants in small shops still sell everything from fresh camel and goat meat on hooks to fruit and fish stacked high on tables

to pottery and clothing made by hand. Two hundred mosques still call residents to prayer. One popular shop sells rugs woven by Berbers in the nearby mountains and another sells high-end antiques in a 14th century mansion.

Tanneries producing leather using processes unchanged since the twelfth century have become symbols of Fes el Bali. Employees hand visitors mint sprigs to hold under their noses as they observe huge vats where hides, gathered daily from local slaughter houses, are tanned and colored. The mint can’t overcome the stench of the tanning agent, made from pigeon droppings and said to be the secret to the suppleness of the brightly colored leather goods sold in tannery shops.

Major construction projects are changing the face of Morocco. Fes el Bali, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, is protected against the rush of the twenty first century and provides the closest approximation we have to a time machine to Morocco’s golden age.

New landscape “triple threat” energizes lifestyles Commentary by Randy Sorrell Imagine the ideal landscape designed especially for you – packed with vibrant colors, seasonal interest and incredibly simple to maintain. outdoors Ever heard of the “Triple Threat?” It refers to a basketball player’s stance that allows them to immediately pass, dribble or shoot. We’ve developed a landscape “Triple Threat” that brings color, seasonal interest and low maintenance together.

COLOR Green is the foundation of the landscape palette but the real personality is generated from the remaining color wheel. Massing flowering shrubs (fothergilla, potentilla, hydrangea, sweetspire) elevates drama with perennial strokes of spring flowering electric pink phlox or full sun yellow moonbeam coreopsis. A well-placed ornamental tree serves to anchor a corner with my favorites being the Serviceberry, Dogwood or Redbud and occasional Crabapple.

Fall color explodes from the aforementioned shrubs and trees, too, with competing yellows, oranges and reds all merging together.

Cork flooring a comfortable, savvy design choice Commentary by David Decker Eco-friendly and full of natural health benefits, cork flooring is experiencing a growth in popularity among homeowners. And it’s easy to see why.

Let’s take a closer look at cork flooring and the basic facts indoors that you should know before installing it in your home.

Cork is a renewable resource made from tree bark that’s a greener alternative to traditional hardwood flooring materials. By definition, “renewable resource” refers to a material that can be harvested without impacting the environment. When cork is harvested, only the bark of the tree is removed, which means the tree can continue to grow after the product is removed. The bark is replenished every nine years, at which point it can be harvested once again. This is great news for any homeowner looking to cut down on their environmental footprint and install a greener hard surface flooring option.

Many of the benefits from cork flooring stem from its natural-occurring physical properties. Cork is quite durable and resilient, which means when it’s used for flooring, it will hold up well against foot traffic. The material retains heat, so it will feel warmer under your feet than other hard surface options. Its cushioned texture makes it an excellent flooring option for people who suffer from joint conditions or those with young children. Additionally, it can help absorb sound waves, which makes it a good choice for rooms where acoustics could become an issue. And as any wine aficionado knows, cork is naturally resistant to mold. This makes it one of the more hypoallergenic flooring options available: great news for allergy sufferers.

On the flip side, cork flooring can be a little pricey. While a little more comfortable to walk on, cork’s spongy texture does not hold up well under the weight of heavy furniture. You’ll also have to be careful with sharp objects, as cork can get scratched or cut fairly easily. This means that pet nails, high heels and other sharp objects could scratch the surface of your flooring as with any other type of hardwood.

To ensure that your cork flooring has a long lifespan, you’ll want to

proactively protect it from scratches or dents. Safeguard the flooring and install soft pads or coasters underneath your heaviest furniture.

Before installing cork, carefully weigh all of the pros and cons and analyze the characteristics of the room first. If placed in a suitable room, cork flooring can be a comfortable and savvy design choice.
