The Chardon Polka Band

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Jake Kouwe is originally from Fishers and always knew he wanted to play music. Now 28 years old, Kouwe is a successful music professional musician in Cleveland who fronts the popular The Chardon Polka Band. Not your typical Lawrence Welk polka band, Kouwe and fellow musicians play the classic polka tunes as well as pop hits from current artists.

Kouwe lived in Fishers until he was eight years old. “Fishers is where I got my start in music,” he said. “I grew up watching PBS and Lawrence Welk.”

Another musical influence was Kouwe’s own father. “My dad was fire chief for Fishers and he invented a fire prevention program in the 1990’s for schools that included skits and music,” explained Kouwe. “From a very young age I wanted to be a fire chief because I thought they always got to do music in front of kids.”

While Kouwe did not become a fire chief, he did develop into a sought-after performer, as his band regularly tours the country playing Oktoberfests and festivals. The Chardon Polka Band even has its own reality show on the Reelz network called “Polka Kings.”

“Our TV show airs every Saturday for the next few months,” Kouwe said. “It’s wild and goofy and a lot of fun. It shows, in a good way, another side of polka that people don’t think of and we have new people watching us saying that they want to get our music.”

Kouwe insisted his band members contribute

Jake Kouwe performs on stage.

heavily to the band’s success and he called them “energetic and awesome.” The Chardon Polka Band occasionally performs locally; St. Benno Fest in Indy is a regular gig and they have played the Upland Brewery Oktoberfest a few times.

Kouwe’s full-time job is music. “In the beginning I had to call 20 to 40 people and hope one would give us a job,” he said. “Now we sometimes have five different offers in one weekend. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t succeed; you can make a living in the arts.”

When one thinks of a fundraiser for a youth group, clay shooting may not be the first idea that comes to mind. But when fundraiser it comes to the Hamilton South Eastern Young Life chapter event in early May, clay shooting is exactly what’s in store for the fundraiser.

Partnering with the Indiana Gun Club, Self 14926 E 113th St., Fortville, and national clay-shooting champion Bob Self, Clays for a Cause is a HSE Young Life fundraiser involving a clay pigeon shooting tournament.

The event aims to raise funds for the organization. Participants will be competing in teams of five for prizes.

The event is welcome to all skill levels and encourages those who have never handled a firearm before to come out and give it a try.

“Some people that will be coming will have never handled a firearm before and are maybe scared of them, and that’s okay,” Self said. “I try to show them that it is something that that everyone can do.”

The event takes place on May 7 from 3 to 6 p.m. The cost for registration is $500 per team of five or $100 per individual. Individuals will be assigned a team. A dinner will be held afterwards and is included in the registration price. For first-time shooters, Self will be leading an instruction at 2 p.m.

Young Life is still looking for companies wanting to the sponsor the event.

For $200, those interested may sponsor a clay shooting station. All benefits will go towards HSE Young Life.

For more questions or more information on the event, contact Michelle Devoe at devoefamily6@yahoo.com or Jeff Hern at jeffhern@aol.com.

Swim club holds fundraiser

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Southeastern Swim Club in Fishers will hold a fundraiser the week of May 11. They’ve donned it the Swim-A-Thon. campaign Club members are currently soliciting pledges for donations up until the week of the event. Although the actual Swim-A-Thon is for club members only, community members can support the fundraiser by donating.

“The event is a fundraiser for the club, we felt it was important for us and we are excited to be in a new facility,” Tony Ratliff, president of the board of directors for the swim club, said. “A component of the fundraiser goes back to the local Fishers community.”

The rest of the funds raised will be split between USA Swimming, the new facility, the club and the Fishers food pantry.

“I feel like it’s a great opportunity for people in the community to give back and donate money to something that will help multiple different fronts,” Head Coach Andy Pedersen said.

“Our original intent was to help high school swim teams, to augment the off season training of high school swimmers, to offer those who weren’t in other sports an opportunity

Time flies.

to train other than the high school season,” Pedersen said. “Since then we have grown into more of a holistic swimming resource for the community including adult swim teams, younger teams, swim lessons and more to develop essential life skills, reach athletic potential and have fun.”

The club’s new facility just opened in April, and Pedersen and Ratcliff said they are excited to use it.

“It’s a fundraiser that really hits on local and national levels,” Ratliff said.

Choosing to vote Commentary by Larry Lannan How often do any of us get a chance to really make a difference? If you are a registered voter and reside in either the politics Northeast or Northwest City Council districts in Fishers, you have an opportunity to make a real difference.

When it comes to election time, I often hear the same refrain from potential voters – what difference will my one vote make? Based on last year’s primary election results, your one vote can become crucial.

In last year’s Republican primary election in the Northwest City Council district, Selina Stoller was elected by defeating former Fishers Town Councilman Mike Colby by 12 votes.

In the Northeast District, there were four candidates, but the winner, long-time Fishers Town Councilman Stuart Easley, defeated second-place finisher Brad DeReamer by only 25 votes. The winning margin in each case was less than 2 percent of votes cast.

Last year’s election was only for one-year terms as Fishers transitioned from a town to a city. This year’s contest is for full four-year terms.

There is a rematch from last year in the

Northwest District with Selina Stoller once again facing Mike Colby. In the Northeast District, there will be two candidates instead of four, with the top two vote-getters last year, Easley and DeReamer, facing each other.

I would urge every registered Republican voter in these contested council districts to spend time evaluating those running for office. Find out which candidate is more aligned with your views.

Not sure whether you reside in either the Northwest or Northeast council district? Go to the Hamilton County Web page at www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov then go to Voting and Elections, and access Find My Polling Place and Ballots. You can also call the Hamilton County Election office in Noblesville at 776-8476.

If you are a registered Republican voter in a contested council district, you have an opportunity to make a real difference on May 5.

MFC elects new members

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com As an accredited Fire Station, Fishers’ fire department is quite capable of handling its organization’s internal fire department affairs. But when it comes to important decisions regarding discipline or advancement, the Metropolitan Fire Commission takes responsibility.

On April 27, the first 2015 meeting of the MFC was held at the station at 6 p.m. The meeting was held to elect new members.

The commission consists of five members. In selecting those members, two persons must be of different political parties, and appointed by the Fishers City Council. One person is appointed by the Fishers Fire Chief, and two persons, who must be of different political parties, are elected by active members of the Fishers fire department.

Those chosen were Dave Cohen, Bill Stuart,

Fishers resident to be in Brown Co. exhibit

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers resident and award-winning artist, Pamela Chase Newell, will have 20 pieces of her artwork on display at the Brown Counart ty Art Guild in Nashville, Ind. beginning May 9 for one month. Newell works in oils and soft pastels specializing in impressionistic still life and landscapes.

Newell is not only an artist but a teacher of art as well. She is a workshop instructor at the Hoosier Salon Gallery in Carmel and teaches at the Hamilton County Art Center.

The honor of being part of an exhibit at the Brown County Art Guild does not come easily.

“It’s tough to get into. It’s a guild which means you are juried to get in – not by a gallery owner, but by the guild of artists. Artists vote you in. It takes a whole year and a rotation of three juries. You bring in your paintings and they say yes or no. You bring in four to six paintings each jury session and by the time you’re done they will have seen 15 to 21 paintings. So you can’t be a one hit wonder,” said Newell.

One piece of Newell’s art work can take anywhere from three to four hours or as long as three years. She is also commissioned by people to create works of art for their home.

“It’s hard to get into somebody’s head to see

“Sunday Afternoon” by Newel.

“Red Tulips” by Newel.

what’s in their vision because they can’t express it,” said Newell.

Her works are on display and can be purchased at Brown County Art Guild, Castle Gallery in Ft. Wayne, Hoosier Salon Gallery in Carmel and Eisele Gallery in Cincinnati. While her art is her livelihood, it’s not always easy for Newell to part with some of her works.

“You have to send them out into the world.

That’s what I’m here for but sometimes it’s just so hard,” Newell said.

The Brown County Art Guild is located at 48 South Van Buren Street in Nashville, IN. For more information on Newell visit pnewellart. com. For more information on Brown County Art Guild visit browncountyartguild.org.

Fishers resident heads to Miss America competition

3 4

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Fishers resident Alexandra Syndram, 17, recently won Miss Indiana World pageant title. She will move on to participate in the Miss World America cover story competition, which is the official preliminary to the prestigious Miss World international pageant. The Miss World organization promotes the idea of “Beauty with a Purpose,” and Syndram hopes to embody that message of community service by using her Miss Indiana World platform to promote her “Home for the Homeless” cause.

Syndram became Miss Indiana World on March 7 and is now focused on competing in the Miss World America pageant this July in Washington D.C. “The ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ concept shows that you want to go out and get people to volunteer,” explained Syndram, “and maybe get people who wouldn’t do it on their own.”

Syndram only recently started participating in pageants.

“I just got started last year and I worked very hard,” she said. “Doing this has really brought me out of my shell.”

Sarah Glitzer, president of Spotlight Consulting in Fishers, is one of Syndram’s coaches and helped prepare her for Miss Indiana World. “Alexandra leads and speaks from her heart and the judges were likely quick to pick up on that,” said Glitzer. “Alexandra clearly has a heart for serving others. She’s a very transparent and genuine person, and she was very coachable and willing to learn and grow

through the training process.”

Syndram loved her experience with Glitzer and recommends having a coach. “Coaching shows your dedication to pageants,” said Syndram. “The truth is that hard work pays off and you can’t always take the easy road.”

Miss World America contestants are known as delegates and they will be judged on many topics including interview, evening gown, public speaking, sports and fitness, multimedia and more. Syndram looks forward to promoting her “Home for the Homeless” cause. “I’m passionate about it and that helps me speak from the heart,” she said. “I just want to spread my message. My goal is for people to acknowledge that person on the side of the road who has nothing. We brush by and then they fade into the background. Do small things first and just do the right thing.”

Giving back Syndram volunteers at the Holy Family Shelter at 907 N. Holmes Avenue in Indianapolis. Recently she spent the day there and donated boxes of kid cereal and other food. “I do drives and collect supplies,” Syndram stated. “They need cereals, blankets, canned foods and really any donations.

They have several kids living there.”

Syndram’s mother Lourdes Syndram said she is glad that community service is part of the Miss World America pageant and that she thinks one of the biggest benefits to competing in these pageants is her daughter’s boost of self confidence. “I’ve seen her mature in many ways and she’s gone from a teenager to a put-together young lady,”

(Submitted photo)

it comes to doing job interviews.”

Alexandra Syndram agrees that competing in pageants has been good for her. “Definitely getting out of my comfort zone and getting people to volunteer with the community is a big benefit,” she stated. “I get a sense of peace when volunteering and I would love for people to feel that way and I think volunteering can make people feel more thankful for what they have.”

What advice would Syndram give to women who are thinking about competing in pageants? “Be prepared to work hard and to not always expect to win the first time,” she said. “Be prepared to take criticism and let it help you become a better version of yourself.”

Syndram hopes to someday make it to the international Miss World pageant. “That’s my mission to make it on to Miss World,” she said. “It would make me the happiest person ever. It would mean that I could be a role model for women everywhere. If I won the whole thing, that happiness and the chance to get my cause out there would be great. It would also say that beauty is more than what meets the eye.”

Election Day: Make it count

You received your Current today because May 5 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. Our staff has prepared candidate profiles, a list of polling places and other pertinent information that we hope will help you make informed decisions when you enter the voting booth. There are several hotly contested races in the communities we serve. Elections, in our view, are more about the “then” than the “now.” All the talk on the campaign trail doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if a candidate is elected and, in the course of her or his term, doesn’t follow through on promises made during so many stump speeches. It then becomes about accountability. We urge you to focus on facts and not buy in to the hyperbole that typically accompanies municipal election races, including those of mayor, council and clerk-treasurer. This is an exciting time of year, mostly because it comes around only once every four years. We don’t for a moment doubt each candidate’s enthusiasm for serving you; we just urge a closer examination before you cast your vote. 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. May 5. As we’ve said before, this is about accountability on every plane. In that vein, is the incumbent you’re considering worthy of remaining in office, and is the challenger earnest and well-founded in her or his quest? Time will tell.

Changing horses, even political ones Commentary by Terry Anker The aphorism “don’t change horses midstream” has always appealed to me.

Perhaps it reflects a general bias towards managing change carefully. Perhaps, it simply points to the scores of cowboy movies that I watched as a kid. Some of the most dangerous, and therefore exciting moments, came when my favorite stars would reach the point in the cattle drive where they had to cross the raging river. Without exception, someone or something would be swept away by the rapidly moving current.

Our communities are faced with the same decision today. Do we stay with the same plan that we’ve come to know in traveling together these last several years?

Or, have we identified enough concern about the stability and sure-footedness of our present conveyance to make a change – right now, even as the water is rushing by?

Local election years are perhaps the most important for the communities in which we live, and yet they are routinely

overlooked. Folks don’t feel sufficiently informed to make it to the polls. Or, they fail to take note of the incredible importance of primaries in elections where the slated candidate of one party is ostensibly the given victor in the fall general election. The reader of this column is likely in such a position. The vote cast in the primary will ultimately determine the upcoming general.

Vote! Vote! Vote!

As to the “horse” that we’re on, I’m not inclined to change. Like many reasonable people, I have some anxiety about the coming crossing. Our community is growing and with it comes changes, debt and uncertainty. Even if our current team is imperfect, they have made the crossing before and their behavior is predictable.

Incumbents may be the old horse; but for this trip I’m inclined to stay the course.

Q U O T E O F T HE WEEK The chief obstacle to the progress of the human race is the human race -Don Marquis

These days it seems I’m constantly on the edge of losing my sanity. Oblivious parents in carpool lines (pull forward, people!), pets vomiting charcoal on new carpet (long story), untamable locks that refuse to stay smooth even after intense flat-ironing (stupid red hair!) … no, it doesn’t take much for acute hypertension to set in and the obscenities to come out. But lately, the thing that’s really been chapping my rear is my children’s constant complaining about each other.

This morning for example, as I was beginning my carefully-designed “Getting Ready” routine (incorporating all things introverted including but not limited to low lights, silence, and orange-mango juice), one of my daughters barged into my bathroom with “Mommy! Maddie stole my curling iron and I got up early to curl my hair and you have to do something about her taking my things without asking and never returning them and now what am I supposed to do?”

Last night, as I actually lay in bed trying to sleep, the same kid flung open the door, jumped on the bed and said, “Mom. Can I just tell you what Andrew said to me because he is not being nice and acting just like Geoffrey saying mean things and not caring about my day and completely ignoring me and he is supposed to be my brother.”

Last week? My twins were online checking their grades, and I hear, “Maw-um! Geoffrey’s failing two classes. You’d better ground him!”

Then shortly thereafter from the youngest wails, “Corinne’s pressing my buttons! She’s rolling her eyes! She didn’t do the dishes!

She’s a big brat! She’s … ” and so on.

Where’s the love? Where’s the “I’ll scratch your back if you’ll scratch mine?” Why can’t they just love each other? I get it, I honestly do. I grew up in a house with four sisters and only one bathroom. We were constantly fighting and narc-ing each other out to our parents. But that was back before personal electronics; we had a ton of free time to fill. What better way to spend an afternoon than by plotting to bring down the spoiled four-year-old?

These days though, there’s absolutely no reason for my kids to be hating on one another.

Rehearsal space, on the road and at home Local venue helps bands prep for shows

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Rick Kingston is planted in his Carmel shop seven days.

Some days he might be there 14 hours. No matter, he loves it.

Kingston’s Music Showcase, 340 Ridgepoint Dr., primarily provides rehearsal space for bands. The hours business are typically from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., but that often changes.

“We have a lot of acts at the Jazz Kitchen and sometimes those guys don’t get up until dinner time,” he said. “So they are not done until 1 o’clock in the morning. I stay until the last band is done.”

The shop also serves as musical instrument store and a concert venue. Kingston started the business and about five years ago.

“It’s been a rocket ship ever since,” Kingston said.

He moved from smaller location on Gradle Drive three years ago and then doubled the space about 18 months ago.

“We have three rooms and they’re regularly booked so we’re looking for more space right now,” Kingston said.

The store has hosted several national and regional acts in his rehearsal rooms.

“Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band was in Brussels (Belgium) one night and in here the next,” Kingston said.

Kingston said Stars in Stereo, a Los Angeles band, rented out the place for a whole day before a date in Cincinnati. The band then canceled a show in Atlanta and came back and spent another day in the shop.

“It’s hard to find rehearsal space on the road,” Kingston said.

The Fab Four, a Beatles tribute band, will perform at The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts at 8 p.m. on performance May ?. Doug Tatum, the center’s vice president of programming, discussed the popularity of the groups.

With all the Beatles tribute bands, how do you determine which one to schedule?

Whether it is classical, jazz, country or rock/ pop, the center’s goal is always to present the very highest quality attractions available, regardless of the particular musical genre.

So while there certainly are multiple Beatles tribute bands that are available and touring, after just a bit of research, it really does not take too long to determine which of those bands are in the top tier, and thus, which ones are under consideration for the center to present.

Is there anything that makes The Fab Four stand out or set them apart in your view? I know the Fab Faux was at Palladium in 2013.

You mentioned The Fab Faux – with that great band it’s all about recreating the music; they make no effort whatsoever to resemble the Beatles physically. With The Fab Four, the quality of the music still comes first, but they also don the costumes to recreate the look faithfully, even down to the personal mannerisms of each lad from Liverpool. So in that regard, I must admit that I am also very pleased with the quality of their wigs! Seriously, in judging a group, I always ask myself the question, “Do they truly do justice to the music?” With The Fab Four, I’m happy to say that the answer is yes.

Their touring history dates back to 2001, so they have been around for awhile, but I don’t believe this group has previously performed in the Indianapolis area.

VOCE to present free concert

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

VOCE managing director Eric Wickens describes his chamber choir’s upcoming performance as calming Performance experience.

“Even though it sacred music or classical, I find an opportunity to kind of sit and mediate and take in the music that the group is producing,” said Wickens, a bass baritone from Fishers. “You feel some comfort and mediation from it and hopefully some joy.”

VOCE will present a free concert at 3 p.m. on May 17 at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, 1402 Main St., Carmel.

VOCE, which stands for Voices of Choral Excellence, is under the direction of Dr. Madlen Batchvarova, who is choral director at Hanover College. The chamber choir, made up of mostly Indianapolis-area residents, will be presenting “A Sacred Journey.”

In addition to Vivaldi’s Gloria, the program

will feature music coupled together by the same text but written by composers from different centuries and musical styles. The concert will take the audience through music of the Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic and Contemporary eras from the United States, Germany, Italy, Norway and Bulgaria.

The series is part of St. Christopher’s Music on Main Fine Art Series.

“We invite ensembles or groups, sometimes from afar but usually local groups,” said Robert Richter, the church’s music director.

Richter said VOCE performed at St. Christopher’s several years ago.

“In exchange for their performance, they have been hosting many of their rehearsals at the church,” Richter said. “Many of the singers come from north Indianapolis suburbs.”

Brenda Iaocca is a soprano for VOCE, St. Christopher’s member and Carmel resident.

VOCE has been reorganizing following the retirement of its founder Charles Goehring in 2013, Wickens said.

‘Pond’ to impress all generations

A word nerd remembers Mama

news@currentinwestfield.com

Commentary by Donna Monday

The Indiana Repertory Theatre is closing its season with a family feel-good production that promises to leave audiPerformance ences with a warm afterglow. “On Golden Pond,” a beloved Tony Award-winning play, runs on the OneAmerica Mainstage through May 10.

It tells the story of Norman (Robert Elliott) and Ethel Thayer (Darrie Lawrence) who have spent nearly 40 summers in their Maine cottage, located on the banks of Golden Pond.

But just as Norman – who’s experiencing frequent bouts of forgetfulness – starts to lose his zest for life, he receives an unexpected but welcomed visitor who turns his world upside down.

This visitor, an inquisitive and misled 13-year-old boy named Billy Ray, Jr. (Griffin Grider) challenges Norman and not only rejuvenates his love of life, but also helps restore a faded relationship between Norman and his daughter, Chelsea (Constance Macy).

“This timeless American classic brings to the table a lot of laughter and a lot of pathos.

“On Golden Pond” allows us to think about this family while considering our own,” said

I just learned something you probably knew about me already. I am a “word nerd.”

I’ve been one for decades plain talk and didn’t know it. I never heard the term until last week, when a high school classmate posted a cute saying: “Let’s Eat Grandma. Let’s Eat, Grandma. Commas Can Save Lives.”

I told her I actually have the tee shirt. She said we must both be “word nerds.”

I’m intrigued by all words, but especially by four-lettered words.

Four-lettered words do a pretty good job of describing the human condition.

Make – love – baby – born – milk – food – grow – walk – talk – grow – show – tell – play – grow – work – earn – self – pray – hope – hurt – live – free – vote – well – sick – gone –home.

And then there is that first word most of us say. In any language it sounds something like “Mama.”

Mama is an important four-lettered word.

We rarely hear it anymore in our society. It seems to be reserved for the very young and the very old. Even three-year-olds get the message that “Mama” is a “baby word” they

This cozy, close-to-home production is recommended for audiences 13 years and older. It is two hours and 15 minutes and includes one intermission.

should outgrow.

Too bad. It’s such a sweet word, and I love to hear it. My daughter (you remember, Rainbow) called me “Mama” till she headed off to preschool and outgrew it.

Actually, I loved the word “Mama” when I was a child. I think that’s because my mother always called her mother “Mama.” So did her five sisters and their brother.

Their “Mama” was a feisty woman. She was part Cherokee and all business. You didn’t mess with Grandma. She was a beadyeyed, determined survivor. She lived through the Depression as a widow with six children and no money.

Two of her daughters (one of them my mother) spent four years in an orphanage.

Grandma walked miles to that orphanage every Sunday. I once asked my mother how they all survived.

“That’s easy,” Mom said. “We never doubted for a minute that Mama loved us.”

“Mama,” another word for love.

Here’s why I do yoga Commentary by Jenny Swisher I think most people have a major misconception about yoga, so let’s take a minute to clear things up. When I was first introbody duced to yoga over five years ago, I expected a room full of extra bendy people where men in sarongs smelled like Vegenaise and did handstands. I was completely out of my element walking into my first class, fully prepared for “Oms” and meditation and Cirque du Soleil style movements.

Instead, it was none of the above.

It was hard, don’t get me wrong. It was a challenge, and I love a good challenge.

Now, as I coach hundreds of people both in my studio and online, I have found that a large number of people hate yoga before they even try it. They have misconceptions about needing to be flexible and are scared to try since they can’t touch their toes. What I have also found, however, is that if they give it a try with an open mind and recognize the power of slowing down and doing their best, they’re doing it just perfectly.

You see, that’s it. Yoga isn’t being able to touch your toes or do a handstand ... It’s about showing up. It’s about doing the thing that’s hard because the things that are hard are ex-

actly what you need to do to grow. Funny, isn’t it? Yoga sounds a lot like life.

This conversation once happened in my studio: Client: “I’m no yogi. I can’t even touch my toes.”

Instructor: “You don’t have to be able to touch your toes to be a yogi.”

Client: “No? Then what makes a yogi?”

Instructor: “Simply coming to your mat.”

What we bring onto our mat, we bring into our lives. If you’re not willing to give yoga a try, what does that say about you? Perhaps it’s saying that you’re not willing to show up or attempt something you’re not presently good at doing. My challenge to you this week is to step outside of your comfort zone by doing something that totally freaks you out. Try yoga.

I assure you you’ll walk out of class feeling centered and balanced. And isn’t that what life’s about?

Bike drive brings donations

By Megan Gross • news@currentinfishers.com

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com On April 25, Endurance House Fishers location hosted a community used bike drive.

Endurance House teamed nonprofit up with Dow AgroSciences Agrocyclists group to increase donations for the nonprofit, Freewheelin’ Community Bikes. FCB’s mission is simple-believing in the worth and the gifts of each person to enrich the world, Freewheelin’ Community Bikes uses bicycles to bring out the best in people and in our community.

“So, basically their main thing is to do this earn a bike program. It’s for 10 to 18-year-olds.

They teach the kids how to completely strip down the bikes and put them back together.

Before they can earn the actual bike for themselves they have to be able to prove they can do that. By the time they finish this program they’re qualified to work at a bike shop because they know all the skills that it takes to put the bikes together,” said Emily Stewart of Dow AgroSciences.

Endurance House not only sells equipment for runners and cyclists but they also consult customers on proper shoes for your gait, bike fitting, bike maintenance and can provide training programs for those looking to get into

a new activity.

Some members of DASA volunteer for FCB so the donation drive was a perfect fit for the two.

“Last year we had a bike drive at work and we got a good number of bikes, but I thought if we reached out to the community we could get a lot more,” said Stewart. She then contacted Endurance House to work together in their community for donations.

Endurance House will still accept donations for FCB all year long at both locations. People are encouraged to donate bikes their children may have outgrown or they have discontinued using.

For more information regarding FCB visit www.freewheelinbikes.org.

Basilica Cistern in Istanbul, Turkey (Photo by Don Knebel)

Istanbul’s underground forest Commentary by Don Knebel

After the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the late fifth century, the Eastern Empire remained a center of culture travel and learning. When Justinian I became Eastern Emperor in 527 A.D., he set about adding to the grandeur of his capital in Constantinople, now called Istanbul. The magnificent church of Hagia Sophia was one of many enduring achievements of Justinian’s reign. Another was an underground reservoir built to supply water to what was then the world’s largest city, with a population of 500,000.

Reportedly built by 7,000 slaves, the Basilica Cistern, named for its location under the Stoa Basilica, is 453 feet long and 212 feet wide. Its 30-feet high ceiling is supported by 336 marble and granite columns arranged in 12 rows of 28, with each group of four columns supporting an arched cross vault. With 13-feet thick brick walls covered with water-resistant mortar, the reservoir could store more than 21 million gallons of water. The water, transported via aqueduct from a forest near the Black Sea, was

distributed to Constantinople palaces and other buildings through a series of pipes.

The varying capital styles suggest that the columns were spoliated from pagan temples around the Empire. Two columns in the northwest corner are supported on stone pedestals bearing the carved image of snakehaired Medusa, one upside down and one on its side. Some believe these orientations were intended to cancel out the effects of Medusa’s petrifying gaze, but exactly why such mythological features were placed in a structure commissioned by a Christian emperor remains a mystery. Another column bears an image of eyes and tears, said to memorialize the slaves who died during construction.

The Basilica Cistern was rediscovered in 1545 A.D. when people in Istanbul were observed fishing though holes in the ground.

‘Bereft’ or ‘bereaved?’

Commentary by Jordan Fischer I heard something on the national news this week that sent me on a confusing journey of grammatical grammar guy discovery.

I’ll confess to not knowing the exact context of the statement, because there were a lot of TVs going and I wasn’t really paying attention to any of them, but I did catch an anchor say this: “… the bereft family …”

“That should be ‘bereaved,’ shouldn’t it?” I thought. And then I thought, “I can get Steve and Brian to pay me to write about this.”

Thus, here we are.

“Bereaved” is, as I thought, the accepted past participle and adjectival form of the word “bereave” – to be “deprived of a loved one through a profound absence,” especially death.

In a etymological tidbit sure to please the “Firefly” fans out there, the word “bereave” originates from the English and Scottish “reavers,” who, according to the Oxford English Dictionaries, got their name from the verb “reave” (and, more to the point, their penchant for “reaving,” or plundering, each other’s

land).”Bereft” is, Oxford says, the archaic past participle of “bereaved.”

That’s all well and good, except we still say “bereft;” its primary definition being “deprived of or lacking something, especially a nonmaterial asset.”

OK, so, “bereaved” is for those mourning the dead, and “bereft” is for those missing something nonmaterial, like humor (you know, like a Steve Harvey joke).

But, annoyingly enough, Oxford still includes a second definition for “bereft:” a person “lonely and abandoned, especially through someone’s death or departure.” Come on!

My two cents: “Bereaved” is specifically used when you are deprived of a loved one, through death or otherwise, so let’s keep it that way. “Bereft” can be used for other situations, like a wall with no decorations or chili with no noodles (It’s just not the same! I’m looking at you, Texas.).

Reminder photo – If you lend things to people but then forget to collect them, or even who you lent them to, here’s an idea to help you remember.

Using your phone’s camera, take a photo of the person holding the object you’ve lent them. This will keep you from forgetting who has that item down the road.

Chill white wine – White wine not cold enough? If you add ice cubes, you water down the wine as the ice melts. Try this instead – keep a few grapes in the freezer. Next time your wine is too warm, add some of the frozen grapes to chill it.

‘Outside’ gift ideas for mom Commentary by Bob Wasson

for

Terms and conditions apply.

Subject to credit approval.

Before you settle on a traditional Mother’s Day gift — like breakfast in bed, a bottle of perfume or a “World’s mother’s day Greatest Mom” Tshirt — consider giving your mother a present that she will enjoy for months, or even years, to come. Treat mom to a locally grown, organically produced, flowering potted plant or tree.

Here are five suggestions that are sure to make your mother smile: • A basket overflowing with gorgeous flowers hanging on your mom’s front or back porch will delight her all summer long.

• What’s your mother’s favorite summertime flower? Geraniums? Roses? Petunias?

Select the ones she likes best and plant them for her.

• If you and your mom enjoy working on projects together, consider designing your own arrangement of potted flowers. All you need are a couple of ceramic pots, some pea gravel and potting soil and a stroll through a greenhouse where you’ll find plants of all sizes, colors and textures to choose from.

• A flowering tree is a gift that your mom will appreciate for years to come. Crabapple, redbud and dogwood trees all display beautiful flowers every spring. They are easy to care for, and they add value to property.

• If you’re on a tight budget, a package of flower seeds tucked inside a Mother’s Day card is sure to delight her. Plant them right away, and soon she’ll have patch of colorful zinnias to admire or beautiful blue morning glories climbing up the fence in her back yard.

What better way to say “thank you” and “I love you” than with a flowering plant or tree?

The gardening experts at your neighborhood nursery can help you make the best possible selection and provide you will all the tools you’ll need for May 10th to be the best Mother’s Day ever.

Getting the perfect retro-fit deck Commentary by Randy Sorrell The immediate decision fueling an incredible outdoor living space is imagining what the actual living Outdoor living surface will be. The typical “default� response is a brick paver patio. But there are plenty of other sexy materials and textures to consider. Often, the physical location will strongly influence the material palate, especially with elevated spaces.

RETRO-FIT The featured deck is a fantastic example of that. It’s unrealistic to construct a paver patio 12’ off grade. So, a new deck is born ‌ or, re-born. Retro-fit best describes this incredibly livable space. The previous pressure treated pine decking was tired and pleading to be replaced with something fresh. The sub-structure remained.

We considered all the alternatives from premium pressure treated pine, cedar, composite / synthetic materials to ipe, a beautiful / insanely expensive Brazilian hardwood. The cost structure can guide that decision and is listed above from least to most expensive.

Maintenance costs are a prompt cost equalizer, however.

Western cedar decking was selected because of its warmth and natural built in preservatives that helps resist decay and insects (resist, not prevent). This Carmel home’s woodsy setting encouraged a material that would reflect the comfortably natural lifestyle afforded.

SPINDLES / RAILING Opening the views to the lower expansive lawn that subtly merges into the woods and stream was critical. So, we employed a common solution with black aluminum spindles that seem to disappear. Stainless steel cables as vertical or horizontal members and tempered glass panels are other creative solutions we’ve ambitiously designed / installed.

Contrary to popular believe, decks are NOT going out of vogue. In fact, we see a resurgence of decks and when properly designed, they can be the best solution for your families’ luxury outdoor living space.

Enjoy spring and escape to your outdoors.
