INDOT shows off Major Moves 2020 features

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com Officials from the Indiana Dept. of Transportation, along with project leadership from design and construction firms, welcomed roads members of the public to Hamilton Southeastern High School April 21 for a community open house to present the upcoming work on Interstate 69 as part of Indiana’s Major Moves 2020 program.

Construction was scheduled to begin April 26 as workers with Milestone Contractors began patching and resurfacing existing pavement on I-69 between Ind. 37 (Exit 205) and Campus Parkway (Exit 210).

Weather permitting, motorists can expect overnight single-lane closures in both directions between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Two lanes will remain open in each direction during peak daytime travel times.

The speed limit on I-69 through the work zone will be reduced to 60 mph and further reduced to 50 mph when workers are present.

The project’s community meeting presented new details on the construction, new noise barriers and a unique interchange design coming to Exit 210.

“Our design-build team had some room for some innovation,” Project Team Leader with United Consulting Matt Taylor said. “We put on our engineer caps and came up with the best way to design and build this project, which is essentially adding a traffic lane to I-69, reconstructing the Exit 210 interchange, improving drainage along the corridor, installing sound walls along

The Campus Parkway (Exit 210) interchange with I-69 will feature a doublecrossover diamond configuration to help improve traffic flow.

(Submitted map)

the corridor and minor improvements at the Ind. 13 interchange are going to allow for additional vertical clearance on the new bridge and our team came up with the most cost effective way to do that.”

The Exit 210 portion of the project will see its Campus Parkway bridge over I-69 widened while building Indiana’s third — and just approximately 60th nationwide — double-crossover diamond interchange.

The interchange style is fairly new and designed to improve an interchange’s traffic. Work is scheduled to begin after July 4 and take one year to complete.

“Our initial analysis is that the interchange is going to work better once that configuration is

put in place than it does today while it's under construction, which we think is a really exciting thing for that interchange,” Taylor said.

Along I-69 near Exits 210 and 214, four new noise barriers will be installed near Cumberland Crossing and Cumberland Woods east of Cumberland Road, Brooks Chase east of Brooks School Road, Roselake east of Ind. 13, and Whispering Woods north of 126th Street.

Bridges included in the project at Brooks School Road and County Road 650 West are contractually obligated to only receive work while school is out for the summer. It’s expected that construction will come next summer.

ABOUT Plants from the HSEHS greenhouse, including the nasturtiums and broccoli pictured in the foreground, are available for sale beginning today, April 30. (Submitted photos)

Variety of plants available from HSEHS greenhouse

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com A Hamilton Southeastern High School tradition returns beginning today, April 30, as students and Master Gardener volunsale teers working with Thomas Younts’ agriculture class will be selling the plants they’ve been growing in the school’s greenhouse this year.

A variety of plants, vegetables, flowers and herbs will be available for purchase to benefit the school’s Future Farmers of America group.

“We’ve got about 14 varieties of tomatoes, mostly heirlooms,” Master Gardener volunteer for three years Elizabeth Boase said. “It’s always a good year for tomatoes in that greenhouse. We sell a bunch of those. People love those things.

“We’ve got all kinds of herbs. We’ve got a few flowers, peppers. We’ve got a bunch of succulents this year, which we’ve never had before,” she added. “Hopefully, we’ll do even

better with those next year. We’ve got some horseradish, a lot of mint, a lot of aloe and kale, a few strawberry plants and other kinds of stuff.”

Boase is one of seven volunteers who work with the high school’s horticulture classes in exchange for greenhouse space they can use to grow products for the annual Master Gardener sale at the Noblesville fairgrounds May 21.

“We help teach the kids about horticulture.

We do volunteering, watering and help out on weekends,” Boase said. “This group is awesome. They all want to be there and they’re just smart-as-can-be kids. They’re doing so well. It’s almost a college-level class at this point.”

The plant sale runs through May 7, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays and 3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday at the HSEHS greenhouse behind the school.

City set to host farmers market

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com With OneZone handing control of the Fishers farmers market over to the parks and recreation department this year, events the city is excited to be officially hosting the series of events beginning May 7 and recurring each Saturday through September.

Nearly 50 vendors will set up shop at 8 a.m. each Saturday and stay at late as noon.

Historically, parks and recreation officials estimated the event has drawn crowds of 1,500 people per Saturday to the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater.

“But it’s still kind of a hidden market,” Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliott said. “It has a lot of opportunities to grow. I think the commitment to the marketing and brand and messaging has really been seen and that will really benefit the vendors.”

But a new logo isn’t the only difference vendors and shoppers will see during this year’s farmers market season.

“May 7 is going to be our kickoff of the market, and we’re doing a lot of new things this year,” Elliott said. “We’ll put live entertainment up on the stage during the farmers

market just about every Saturday… We’ll have a number of special events, too. Strawberry Festival is June 4. Health and Wellness Day is June 18. Kids Day is July 16. Service Club Day is Aug. 6, and the final market is our Fall Harvest Festival on Sept. 24. It should be a really great year.”

The first 100 people at the farmers market each Saturday will receive a free reusable cloth shopping bag.

Food insecurity on the rise in Hamilton Co. Commentary by Cindy Hubert news@currentinfishers.com When most of us think of food insecurity, we think of urban areas giving back like downtown Indianapolis or very rural communities. Most of us don’t think of affluent suburbs like Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville or Westfield.

But, surprisingly, we’re seeing the highest increases in food insecurity in areas like Hamilton Co. With nearly 27,000 people struggling with food insecurity in Hamilton Co., hunger is a very real problem. But how would you know if a neighbor was food insecure? Hunger isn’t easy to see.

After Sara’s dad lost his executive job last fall, it wasn’t long until the family was unable to pay their mortgage. So far, he’s been unable to find a similar position, so he now works nights to earn just enough to cover some of their expenses. After paying for the basics, there isn’t much left to buy groceries.

Thankfully, Sara’s school participates in Gleaners’ BackSacks: Weekend Food for Kids program, so she gets a small bag of food on Fridays to help out when she can’t eat break-

fast and lunch at school.

Sara dresses like the other kids. Her family drives their same car. How would you know Sara was hungry? Most likely, you wouldn’t.

Gleaners is working to feed hungry men, women and children in Hamilton Co. through programs like BackSacks, School-Based Pantry, the Mobile Pantry and Summer Meals for Kids. The food bank also partners to provide food for organizations such as the Carmel UMC Food Pantry, House of Refuge and Loving Hands Food & Clothes Pantry.

Hunger isn’t easy to see, but compassion is easy to offer.

Gleaners needs your support to help meet the needs of our neighbors who are struggling to feed their families. Every dollar you give at gleaners.org/give provides food for three meals. And the more you give, the more people we can feed. Until every bowl is filled.

Cindy Hubert joined Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana as president and CEO in November 2010.

Since then, her leadership and vision have led to enhancing and expanding the organization’s direct service programs.

Heart attack: The right place Commentary by Rev. Michael VandenBerg At 10:30 a.m. April 11, I suffered a very severe heart attack. In God’s gracious care, this person who rarely goes to the hospital asked to go get checked out, so I was religion already at the hospital being checked out when it happened. Within 15 minutes of the heart attack beginning, the amazing doctors and nurses had me into surgery, where they performed a heart catheterization with some of the most advanced techniques in the country. Now I’m home, working and carrying on with my life.

What a miracle.

In comparison, in 1962 my grandfather — a strong, sturdy, Dutch farmer — went out to shovel the walk and ended up dying of a heart attack in spite of quick medical responses.

Times have changed and the medicine has gotten better and fewer people need die of a heart attack.

Sometimes when we don’t want someone to stress about a situation, we tell them, “Don’t have a heart attack.” We want them to put things into perspective and see the possibilities in the midst of the current difficulties.

In the Gospel of John, he quotes Jesus as saying, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” This in response to his disciples hearing that he was going to be leaving them, but sending his Holy Spirit. They were overcome with grief, but he, in essence, is telling them, “Don’t have a heart attack about it. You already believe in God, believe in me as well, and I will take care of you.”

I can tell you all firsthand now the comfort in being in the right place at the right time, and how that truly does take the stress out of any given situation. Being at the Heart and Vascular Center when you have a heart attack is wonderful, but how much more wonderful it is to be in the loving care of God as you face all of life’s trials and frustrations.

Changing perspective Commentary by Pastor Mike Colaw Have you ever met anyone who turned a perspective you had in life upside down?

When I was a teenager, my parents took me to hear a man speak by religion the name of Richard Wurmbrand. This Jewish Romanian minister born in the early 1900s was old and quite crippled. Not exactly exciting for a teenager.

When we walked in, I was astonished to find the room packed. The event began with a lengthy introduction of all this guy’s accomplishments. No music, no flashing lights, no smoke, no video projectors — nothing except a microphone. After the first old guy finished introducing the second old guy, he stood up with assistance and slowly limped over to a deep-seated armchair on the stage. After he situated himself he started to speak — slowly.

He shared about growing up in an antiSemitic Romania and ultimately becoming a Christian. His life was a laundry list of sacrifice because of his beliefs. He had been imprisoned for spreading the Gospel and went through horrific psychological and physical

torture. The Communists even told his wife that he had died in prison when he hadn’t. In 1966, he testified in Washington D.C., revealing his physical scars that brought much of what was happening in the dark to light. The unforgettable part to me was his peace. Yep, you read that right. His peace. His testimony wasn’t delivered from a dark heart, but one of hope!

It’s hard for me to explain, but he seemed happier and more fulfilled than any of my high school friends who drove new cars, partied on the weekend and lived off mom and dad’s hard work. Theoretically my friends lived the good life. Why was this guy so much more fulfilled? This old man threw my perspective of peace and joy on its head. His life fulfillment wasn’t dependent on external circumstances.

As he shared I realized his peace isn’t in what is, but in his hope of what will be.

Do you have a hope this strong?

Fun Fitness Fishers nurse teaches youth fitness class for more than 100 Girl Scouts

By Sam Elliott • sam@youarecurrent.com

More than 100 Girl Scouts from area troops got together in one room March 25 for a workout class disguised cover story as a dance party.

That was exactly as Fishers nurse and fitness instructor Robanne Robin intended since she first proposed the idea for the event via social media.

“I put out this idea on Facebook like, ‘Hey, calling all Girl Scouts.

If you want to come rock a workout with me…’ and I thought I’d see what happened,” Robin said. “It blew up like crazy. I had so many moms and troop leaders saying, 'Oh my gosh, yes.' A fitness badge is one of their goals they have to achieve, so that worked out amazing.

We had almost 150 people there, and that was really without even trying.”

The class mirrored those Robin teaches regularly at the YMCA, incorporating up-tempo hip hop and popular music to get participants moving for a high-energy workout suitable for all ages.

“I’m not super familiar with the hierarchy of Girl Scouts, but the cool thing about this whole event was we brought in from the youngest to the oldest Girl Scout groups,” Robin said. “I asked that each troop have at least one or two moms that would be there to help me and help supervise and they also participated. I was hoping they would, because that leads by example showing those girls this is how we do it, we work out, we have fun and just finding fun with fitness was my whole goal.”

Troop leader Megan Leahy was one of those moms and was already familiar with — and a fan of — Robin’s hip hop fitness classes, so she was happy to bring the nine second graders from Troop 2101 to the event.

“Part of being a Girl Scout is being happy, healthy and strong,” Leahy said. “That was a great way for the girls to have a fun experience with being healthy. They think they have to run or do jumping

Nearly 150 Girl Scouts and troop leaders came out to the Fishers YMCA for Robanne Robin's hip hop fitness class.

ABOUT ROBANNE ROBIN Robin’s been a YMCA member for 13 years, but started working out regularly six years ago and went on to lose 150 pounds after weighing 300 following struggles with anorexia and bulimia before obesity.

jacks, but thankfully it's all those dance moves that make it fun… They don’t feel like they’re working out.”

Robin already has plans to make the youth fitness class for area scouting troops an annual occurrence, with hopes next year’s event will be bigger and better and see more organization and promotion than one Facebook post.

“I think if I really put the time and effort into this, my next goal would be to encompass Girl Scouts and some levels of Boy Scouts,” she said. “Next year when I do this again, I think it'll be double the numbers like maybe 300 kids if not more. It's going to be an ongoing annual event, I have a feeling.”

The event also raised funds to support scholarships to YMCA summer camps.

“This whole event raised over $500 for the YMCA. That's so awesome,” Robin said. “It was kind of a win-win on all fronts. The girls got their fitness and got their badges and we also raised money for other kids who maybe can't afford to be members at the YMCA and their families. That just gives me chills because how much better does it get than that?”

For more, or to find a schedule of Robin’s hip hop dance workout classes, visit indymca.org/centers/fishers.

“With our young girls, what I'm hoping is none of them ever have to get to the point I got — which was 300 pounds and unhealthy and I stayed there for 10 years,” she said. “That was a horrible way to live. It was terrible on my body and I'm very fortunate I found my way out of that.”

Now Robin’s goal is that her class can help adults in similar situations or help children develop healthy habits early.

“My whole goal is find fun with fitness.

It doesn't have to be horrible,” she said. “It can absolutely be the most fun you've ever had and if you're having fun and enjoying it, guess what — you're going to do it again. There's no magic to that.”

Plans for Mother’s Day

FR O M T HE BA C KSH O P

‘Oh, say, you can’t sing … ’ The long arm of government has reached all the way down to middle school now. A recently posted video making the rounds on Facebook shows a security guard abruptly stopping Waynesville (N.C.) Middle School Chorus’ singing of the national anthem at the 9/11 memorial in New York City. Barney Fife’s partner already had given the students permission to sing, but Barney said the law was that a permit was required. To. Sing. The. National. Anthem. There. The school’s principal said the kids “immediately complied and apologized.” How do you like that? That’s a memory that they’ll have forever. Wow. ••• Today’s edition of Current has voting information for the May 3 primary election.

If you’re registered to vote, please do so.

The voter turnout in these parts has been anemic at best, and we don’t understand the unplugged nature of the majority of citizens.

We’re providing snapshots of information about the candidates, as well as polling locations. By Tuesday, you would have had plenty of time to get up to speed. As we’ve written in this space, voting is a right and a responsibility. It’s important to exercise both.

••• We’ve been asked, as voting day draws closer, whether we would endorse any number of candidates. The short answer is no. We got out of that business quite some time ago as the number of Current editions began to rise. It is practically impossible for us to adequately interview each person running for office in order to form an educated conclusion on candidacies.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Prevarication nation Commentary by Terry Anker As the old joke goes – how do you know if a politician is lying? – his lips are moving.

With election season in full steam, the good people of Indiana are steeped in competing perspectives often labeled lies by the rivalrous camps. One might imagine some of these so-called dishonest statements are, in fact, points of view rather than measurable and specific data. Regardless, each of the would-be candidates take the lectern to claim their own moral superiority supposedly deep-rooted in honesty, integrity and a willingness to speak the truth.

But does the truth really matter? People have been prone to exaggeration and puffery for as long as we’ve had command of the language. We’ve all stretched a bit to bring comfort to others. Anyone with teenagers is probably guilty of observing the colossal Mount Vesuvius like blemish forming on the forehead of their progeny, and claiming – it really doesn’t look that bad – when we know full-well it may frighten

the villagers. But, our goal is to do good and help the young ones overcome.

So when we bring this almost quaint culture of white lies into the Internet age, what happens? Now elected officials tell us - well, of course I lied because you wouldn’t have voted for me otherwise. And, reality television stars proclaim – well, of course I lied because if you knew that I was in love with someone else you wouldn’t have continued with our really cool wedding. Magazines and Internet sites post lists of lies to tell to get upgraded hotel rooms, take advantage of the family leave act and effectively avoid getting caught in an affair.

To tell the truth, there is a disturbing trend of prevarication in our nation. Is the honest human an artifact and the greasy liar the contemporary archetype?

– Marcus Aurelius

Women of greater Indianapolis unite, for our day approach-eth! That’s right, people, Mother’s Day 2016 is upon us, humor and I, for one, am not taking any chances. There will be no failed expectations, no misunderstood requests and definitely no crying. Not this year. Not again. As such, I am calling a preemptive do-over. Hear ye, hear ye! Danielle’s most precious eight to 10 hours of blissful solitude will now occur on May 22, as May 8 does not fit into her schedule!

Seriously. Mother’s Day immediately following the first Saturday in May? The mini, first communions, proms, college graduations … and hello-o, the Kentucky Derby.

What are these calendar guys thinking?

And yes, I mean guys. No female would ever dedicate the day after a single major event, let alone the perfect storm of celebratory obligations, for honoring moms. We’d have chosen a random Sunday during the summer when school is out and the temperature’s consistently a pleasant 79. Oh wait.

That’s Father’s Day. I rest my case.

But I digress. As I have learned from countless number of MDs gone wrong, horribly wrong, moms can’t just hope that everything will turn out fine. We have to plan carefully, articulate our hopes clearly, and if necessary, take matters into our own hands.

To wit, our annual Derby party falls on May 7, which means May 8 will be spent picking up, lounging around and perhaps doubledowning on the Advil. (Mint julips are not to be messed with!) Absent from the agenda is coming downstairs to a clean house, enjoying brunch with the peeps (who’ll probably also be experiencing a rough morning) and either shopping at Simply Chic or gorging on buttered popcorn at Regal. Therefore, Mother’s Day must be moved.

I just told Doo about the plan, and he didn’t even blink. This ain’t my first rodeo, baby. I’ve also called re-do’s post MD, when sick kids, clueless husbands, or newly-minted driver accidents ruined my day. I’m not taking any chances this year, and I encourage all ladies to follow suit. Good luck, fair matrons, and Godspeed! Peace out.

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My wife walks faster than I do. What makes this so humiliating is that I have always been a good athlete, but Mary Ellen humor hated sports. When my wife tries to run, she doesn’t bend her legs at the knees and she ends up looking like a soldier doing a goose-step on too much coffee.

No, she can’t run.

But boy, can she walk.

And I can’t figure out why she walks faster. Let’s see … her legs are longer than mine. And wait, she moves them back and forth faster than I do. Okay, I just figured it out. But this doesn’t make me feel any better.

The great irony is that I was attracted to my wife 35 years ago because of her long, slender legs. This is exactly how men get themselves in trouble. When I saw those lovely limbs, my mind turned to romance, but I should have realized that she’d be walking faster than me for the next 40 years. I knew I was going to marry a woman who was smarter. But faster? That wasn’t the plan.

In fact, in high school and college, I prided myself on my speed. And I never had anything to do with girls who were fast. I probably should rewrite that sentence.

Sometimes, just to feel loved and wanted, when we are walking I hide behind a tree to see if my wife will look back to see where I am. Out on a hiking trail, this is okay, but in a residential neighborhood, men behind trees are frowned upon. When you are telling your story to a police officer and he keeps using the word “lurking,” you have a great deal of explaining to do.

Now, when my wife and I walk, we go in different directions around our neighborhood circle. No matter how slow I walk, we always pass each other at exactly the same time.

I know that sounds stupid. But don’t try to explain it to me. You know how slow I am.

I knew I was going to marry a woman who was smarter. But faster?

That wasn’t the plan.

Taxes: filing vs. planning Commentary by Joe Clark The countdown for filing 2015 tax returns is finished and the taxes are off to money Washington. There are two tax systems at play in the U.S. — and some politicians proclaim there is one system for the rich and another for the poor — but the reality is there is one tax code for the informed and one for the uninformed.

Your tax return is similar to a symphony where instruments work in unison. Your tax return works the same way where one line works with the next. Just one bad financial decision can create an input that creates negative consequences on the rest of your return.

Albert Einstein described insanity as doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. Every year individuals pick up their taxes from their CPA firms and gasp at the amount owed. Then they complain, scribble their names on a check, file the return in a drawer and repeat the process the next year — insanity!

Tax planning is a central part of financial planning and needs to be conducted before December 31. April is the season to tax report.

The number of individuals who spend count-

less hours on investment statements but disregard their 1040 tax return is staggering. In my humble opinion, there is no entity that will separate most American families from their retirement more dramatically than the IRS. Markets go up and down, but rarely does the IRS send a check back.

As we conduct financial planning in 2016, our objective is to be as tax savvy as possible.

Pay attention to line 43 on your tax return and find out how much income was actually subject to taxation. Once you know that number, you can make some very important decisions including whether or not you should consider a Roth IRA or contribute to a college fund. The IRS provides us a rule book, but it is our job to use those rules to create the best possible scenario during the year so that our accountants can provide savvy tax reporting next April.

Kidney donation strengthens sisters’ bond

By Ann Marie Shambaugh annmarie@youarecurrent.com Sisters Cindy McClure and Chrissy Field have always been close, but now their bond is stronger than ever. recovery Both had life-changing surgery Feb. 1, with Field having a healthy kidney removed and given to McClure, a Fishers resident, who has suffered from chronic kidney disease her entire life.

And now, three months later, they are traveling the long road of recovery together.

“We’re both still licking our wounds and getting through the process, but I would totally do it again,” said Field, 46, a Carmel resident.

This was the second kidney transplant for McClure. In 2011, she was planning to receive a transplant from her brother, but before the surgery took place doctors found a match from a man who died in an accident.

That solution was short-lived, as her body began rejecting the new kidney almost from the start. She ended up in the hospital repeatedly fighting off infections, and eventually it became clear another kidney transplant would be necessary.

McClure’s brother was ready to donate again, but this time Field – who had been unable to donate the first time because of her own medical issues – got tested and found out she was a perfect match, even better than her brother.

McClure, 51, had reservations about receiving the kidney from her sister, who has a husband and two young children. But for Field, the decision to donate a kidney was an easy one.

“There’s a lot of factors to consider, but when you’re a perfect match and it’s your sister, well of course I’m going to do it,” she said.

Fishers resident Cindy McClure, left, recently received a donated kidney from her sister, Chrissy Field. (Submitted photo)

This time, the results were different. McClure’s body hasn’t shown any signs of rejection, and her recovery is going well.

“I’ve only had to go back in the hospital once to get fluids, and that seems to be (because) the kidney is working so well that it’s like everything I drink comes out,” McClure said.

McClure described her sister’s donation as “a selfless act of love” that she finds difficult to comprehend at times.

“She’s amazing, and just knowing that there’s someone that I have like that in my life is great,” McClure said. “There’s a special bond there for sure.”

Field’s recovery is going a bit slower than she expected. She has suffered some nerve damage and plans to return to her job as an associate marketing manager at Roche in early May. But she has found encouragement from other living organ donors and knowing that her gift has meant renewed life for her sister.

“For me, that was the end game: getting her to a point where she can find a new normal,” Field said. “Hopefully things will continue to just improve and get better. I look forward to a day when we’re both completely healed and look back on it and say, ‘Wow, this has been really amazing.’”

Cook up a Mother’s Day to remember Submitted content courtesy of Family Features Mother’s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember recipes by hosting a special brunch get-together for the special ladies in your life.

Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years.

Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare.

A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter.

Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria beach in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned winery that believes in honoring women across the United States and globally. Each year, the winery gives $100,000 to women making a difference in their communities through their Seeds of Empowerment program.

For more recipes and ideas to enhance your celebrations, visit cambriawines.com.

Give the mom in your life the latest beauty treatments

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

With blue skies and spring breezes chasing away the winter blahs, many are realizing they want to look and feel better, therefore searching out spas. spas A few local spas offer services specific for a fresh spring look.

Dual Exfoliation Facial Sundance Salon Spa, 47 S. Elm St., Zionsville, offers a dual exfoliation facial with Aveda products to cast a clean, fresh look without the damaging chemicals. The two-part, clinical facial cleanses and then uses a plant peel on the face for facial results without uncomfortable, irritated skin sometimes caused by facial chemicals.

“This is a great choice for spring because of cold weather, everybody has a buildup of dry skin and dead cells,” said Michaela Baird, esthetician at the salon. “With the dual exfoliation facial, you’ll get a better tan on spring break and your face will be cleaned out better. You’ll get back that moisture you’ve been missing all winter.”

The dual exfoliation facial lasts an hour and costs $105.

Shellac nails Sundance Salon Spa also offers an upgrade from a normal manicure or pedicure by using shellac nail polish. This gel-like polish will provide two weeks’ worth of no chipping.

“This is also a great option for spring break, because if you’re going in the ocean normal polish will not stay on and you will have to continuously apply,” Baird said.

Shellac prices: Manicure - $45, pedicure - $70.

Treat mom to an appointment at a local salon like Twisted Sisters Beauty Salon, 546 N. Union St., Westfield, where beauticians suggests an ombré hair style with lighter colors for women this season.

Haircuts and styles popular for spring Twisted Sisters Beauty Salon, 546 N. Union St., Westfield, suggests an ombré hair style with lighter colors for those women searching for a spring look.

“The lighter ombré is pretty big right now, especially with lighter colors like blondes and light browns for spring,” Stylist Jessica Jones said. “It’s a new trend. Everyone loves the color fading right now. It’s the new hot thing.”

Ombré prices range from $100-$160.

In pair with the ombré color scheme, Jones said that as fair as haircuts go, the longer look is currently in style for spring.

To contact Twisted Sisters, call 317-804-9503.

Patti and Bruce Kimball catch up with Andrew and Susan Buroker at the “Fiddler on the Roof” opening night pre-party at Civic Theatre.

Marni Lemons and Tobin Strader shined and received a much-deserved standing ovation for their roles of Golde and Tevya in Civic Theatre’s sold-out production of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Tania C. Moskalenko and Jini Rooney took time to pose for “Where’s Amy?” at the opening night pre-party festivities for Civic Theatre’s “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Guy Grubbs and Darrin Gowan were ready to perform a few weddings with a few turns and twists.

Mitchell Wray gave his twin sister Amelia Wray a big brotherly hug and some sweet treats after the opening night of “Fiddler on the Roof” at Civic Theatre.

Where’s Amy? I was in pure heaven attending Civic Theatre’s opening-night production of “Fiddler on the Roof” with my parents and friends. Hats off to Director Michael J. Lasley whose creative vision and casting helped bring the musical to life. What a treat it was to see the talented Tobin Strader, Marni Lemons and the entire cast of “Fiddler” shine on stage.

I loved this musical as a child, and it still ranks as a favorite today. Nothing beats sitting back and observing a sold-out crowd laughing, crying and humming along to their favorite songs. Throughout the show, we were entertained by the sounds from a simple fiddle and/or 17-piece orchestra under the direction of Civic’s own Brent E. Marty. Crowd favorites included “Matchmaker,” “If I Were A Rich Man,” “Do You Love Me” and “The Dream” which was brilliantly choreographed by Anne Beck. I guarantee that you will enjoy the show and leave with a huge smile on your face. Grab your family and friends and go see this production, which runs through May 7. I am also stoked about Civic Theatre’s recent announcement for their 2016-2017 season, which includes “Young Frankenstein,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Rumors,” “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare” and “The Music Man.” Whew! Yep, it’s safe to say that Civic Theatre is continuing the tradition by bringing only the best theatre and musicals to its home in Carmel. Fire up, and Where’s Amy? will see you there - L’chaim!

Don’t overdo it gardening Commentary by Heidi Wright Spring has arrived in Central Indiana and you want to accomplish outdoors as much as possible in the shortest period of time in your garden and yard. First and foremost, please recognize that gardening and yard work are strenuous activities that can create problems. Here are a few tips for prevention of overuse conditions – including carpal tunnel and tendonitis – while returning to the outdoors.

• Perform stretches to warm up the muscles and joints prior to gardening and yard work. While this may sound silly, basic stretching exercises are the best way to prevent muscle strains.

• Get going now with cardiovascular reconditioning. Were you a couch potato all winter? If the answer is yes, start walking outdoors for 10-15 minutes at a vigorous pace to prepare your heart and muscles for the rigors of gardening.

• Purchase ergonomic garden tools.

Ergonomic handles make a difference with minimizing load on the carpal tunnel region and small joints of the hand. Larger size handles will also minimize fatigue of the muscles that perform repetitive gripping tasks.

• Pacing is critical. Start with 20-30 minutes of gardening the first day and gradually work up to two hours, increasing the time by 30-minute intervals. Increasing the minutes in increments gives the muscles, joints and your heart an opportunity to adjust to the physical demands of working outdoors. Always take minibreaks every hour to rehydrate and to give fatigued muscles a rest.

• Protect the small joints of the hands with gloves. Look for textured garden

Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Never again: A promise or hope?

Commentary by Don Knebel A Berlin memorial remembering the Jewish victims of the Holocaust was intended to provide a visual reminder about travel what can happen when a society gives itself over to hate. Not everyone is getting the message.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe lies just south of the new American embassy and just east of Ebertstraße, a street once containing a long section of the wall separating East and West Berlin. The 4.7-acre site, within sight of the Brandenburg Gate, previously held the city villa of Joseph Goebbels, one of the architects of Nazi persecution.

The memorial itself consists of 2711 rectangular concrete slabs of uniform length and width, with heights ranging from a few inches to more than 15 feet. The slabs, called “stelae,” are positioned on a grid, with their varying heights arranged to create an irregularly undulating appearance that exaggerates the rises and falls of the uneven ground, especially for visitors walking among them. An underground information center contains the names of three million Jewish Holocaust victims.

The memorial was designed by Peter Eisenman, an American architect who won a 1997 design competition after the winner of an earlier competition was rejected by Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Eisenman said his disquieting design suggests what happens when an apparently rational society loses its bearings. As if to prove the point, critics discovered that the German chemical company engaged to coat the stelae against graffiti was associated with the firm that produced cyanide tablets for concentration camp death chambers, temporarily halting construction. The memorial was finally dedicated on May 10, 2005, almost 60 years to the day of the German surrender in World War II. Since the Memorial’s opening, the stelae have been repeatedly marred with swastikas and other anti-Semitic markings. Unfortunately, “Never Again” far too often seems less a promise than a hope.

Dispatches Grow Native! – The Grow Native! program makes it easy to identify native plants that will be a great addition to any landscape. Native plants are Hoosier friendly. They are easy to care for and need less water and fertilizer than nonnative plants that are not as well adjusted to Indiana conditions.

A list of participating retailers across Central Indiana is available online at www.hamiltonswcd.org/ grow-native.html. For more, visit www.INPAWS.org.

Afternoon boost – If you’re having an afternoon slump, one easy way to perk up is to go brush your teeth. It gets you up and moving, gives your mind a break, and the minty toothpaste perks you up. It can also discourage you from snacking on sweets in a vain effort to raise your energy level.
