Fishers Farmers’ Market opens

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com

It really feels like spring now that the Fishers Farmers’ Market has opened. Opening day was May 3 at its new location at 6 Municipal Drive in front of the amphitheater. The market is organized by the Fishers Chamber of Commerce diversion and presented by Community Health Network.

Carol Doehrman, the Fishers Chamber of Commerces’ vice president of operations, says once the market is in full swing in a few weeks there will be 41 vendors in all.

Opening day saw only about a third of that but she says turnout was very good for so early in the season.

She says Fishers is not the largest farmers’ market in the area but it is different from the others.

“I think we’re unique in the fact that we are what I would consider a pure market whereas most of what we have is locally grown. There’s no arts and crafts allowed; no flea market items; no manufactured items; we don’t allow franchises and every vendor here either has a product here that they made themselves, grew themselves or was made specifically for them,” Doehrman said.

Laverne Weitzel who owns Bags of Wags Dog Bakery has been participating for at least 10 years and says it provides a great market for her. “There’s a lot of people, lot(s) of dogs, a lot of friendly people,” she says.

The Fishers Farmers Market will run from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday through September 27. There will be special event days and music on the amphitheater stage most Saturdays.

Vendors display their goods.

Columnist Vicky Early writes this week about how balance isn’t about creating mirror image pairs in a room; it is about weighting the room visually so that the eye flows seamlessly through the space. The balance in a room is most obviously dependent on the size of furnishings but depth of color, patterning, and texture all play a roll.

Fishers man runs to inspire

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Aaron Pugh, a 23-year-old student from Fishers, will run 210 miles from Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in Indianapolis to Milrunning lennium Park in Chicago, hoping to inspire others to overcome adversity and to pursue their dreams. Pugh will begin running on May 14 and end May 17.

Pugh has been a runner for more than 10 years and is now focusing on ways to use his sport as a way to encourage others.

“I just want to connect any type of meaning with my passion for running,” Pugh said.

Pugh is no stranger to long-distance running.

In March 2013 he ran 53-mile route from Evansville to Petersburg, Ind. and raised $1,250 for Riley Hospital. “That was a tremendous success,” said Pugh, “and then I was ready for the next challenge.”

The Indy-to-Chicago run, however, is not connected to a cause.

“This is just a personal challenge to myself, to grow and learn about myself,” said Pugh. “I love the city of Chicago; I’m from the Indy area so I’m running from something that means something to me toward something else that I love,” he continued.

Pugh graduated from Fishers High School and attends the University of Southern Indiana.

He shared that he endured tough times in high school; he was homeless for a time but really wanted to graduate.

“I decided I would do whatever it took to finish at my high school in Fishers,” said Pugh. “A

lot of these experiences made me stronger and I learned that you don’t really know what you want until you face adversity,” he added.

Pugh and his friends have organized an Indianapolis Start Party that will kick off on May 14 from 7 to 9 a.m. at Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in Indianapolis. Attendees can cheer Pugh on as he begins his 210-mile run at 8 a.m. Fans can also visit the Inspire200Run Facebook page to check on his progress.

Pugh hopes that his endeavor inspires people.

“This run is to share that everything in life is not always perfect. I want to get across the point that how you handle adversity makes a difference and that dreams make life exciting,” he said.

From SR-32/W. Main Street, turn onto Wheeler Road heading north.

Turn left at 186th Street; Wellbrooke of Westfield will be on your left.

HSE Ensemble plays the Palladium

By Beth Taylor • news@currentinfishers.com On May 17, Hamilton Southeastern High School’s much-lauded Wind Ensemble will play with the Indiana Wind Symphony at the Palladium in Carmel. After months of music hard work, the students are ready to share their talents and hard work at the breathtaking Hamilton County venue.

“Director Dr. Charles Conrad of the Indiana Wind Symphony contacted us about three months ago,” said HSE Band Director Mike Niemiec. Conrad is the founder and music director of the IWS, formed in 1997. The concert, American Tapestry, will be the final performance of the season for the IWS. “We’ve been very visible. We’ve played at Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and we were also finalists at the Indiana State School Music Association state finals,” Niemiec said.

The 54-student wind ensemble is comprised of advanced music students. “We were chosen based on the strength of our juniors and seniors.

They will perform “Festivo” by Edward Gregson as well as “Aurora” by Thomas Doss. After three months of preparation, Niemiec and John Cook, also an HSE band director, are readying the ensemble in class and during after school practice.

After the ensemble performs the two pieces, senior Kristin Darling will accompany Indiana University School of Music professor and trumpet

“Kristin is a true talent on the trumpet. She truly deserves to be in this trio of outstanding musicians,” Niemiec said.

“This is the first year we’ve worked with a high school band. We wanted to increase our educational support,” said Conrad. He plans to expand the opportunity to other local high school bands next season.

“We’re really looking forward to sharing our music in a great concert hall along with the Indiana Wind Symphony, and I feel so proud to be the first featured high school band,” added Niemiec.

FHS places 4th in national contest

By Nancy Edwards • news@currentinfishers.com For eight months, 18 FHS seniors spent 20 to 30 hours a week preparing for a once-in-a lifetime opportunity: we the people competing nationally at the 27th annual “We the People” contest in Washington, D.C. Intense practice mock trials and weekends were spent at unit advisors’ homes, in addition to applying to colleges, studying for AP classes and performing in other extra-curricular activities.

The sacrifice paid off for the hard-working teens; for the first time in the high school’s history, the team took top-10 honors at the national contest, placing fourth overall.

“This was such a huge accomplishment for the team and Fishers High School,” Liz Paternoster, FHS team coach, said. “I could not be prouder of the team this year.”

The national finals were April 26-28 at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. Teams making the top 10 cut competed at Capitol Hill in the same hearing room Congress uses to debate federal legislation.

The competition got “progressively harder,” as the students continued their journey, according to FHS senior Ryan Elliott. Judges tested students on their knowledge, poise and ability to think on their feet by attempting to throw them off-balance, sometimes cutting them off in mid-sentence.

“The judges asked us some very difficult questions,” Elliott said. “They always pressured us on a different way of thinking.”

The students worked hard to stay focused and were prepared for whatever came their way, according to Debra Elliott, Ryan’s mother.

“What I saw at the national level from a parental perspective was the amount of confidence and maturity gained in a short amount of time,” Debra said. “The students’ ability to interact with the judges was absolutely phenomenal. That confidence and belief is an immeasurable set

path to a career step.”

Student participation in the team has influenced some to consider different career paths, according to Ryan, who plans to study international relations and affairs at the Virginia Military Institute. For example, those formerly interested in biology are now thinking about studying law, history or government.

“This experience has taught me more about history, government, public speaking and English writing in eight months more than in school,” Ryan said.

Ryan and Paternoster also wish to thank the countless supporters of “We the People,” including teachers and unit advisors.

“Mike Fassold, Robert Dyson, Geoff Tease, Taylor Schueth, Chris Edwards, and Mary Gaier were amazing constitutional advisors for the kids along with helping them hone their presentation skills achieved overall confidence,” Paternoster said.

“The Fishers community also shared many experts who volunteered their time as judges, advisors and chaperones on the trip. The team would like to thank those that volunteered to judge: Supt. Dr. Brian Smith, Principal Jason Urban, Town Council member Renee Cox, Judge Dan Henke, Judge Paul Felix, Judge Paul Mathias, Janet Chandler, Deborah Hejl, Mark Pierson, Suzy Huppenthal, Tammie Spencer, Katrina Hockemeyer, Diane Eaton, Beth Niedermeyer, Dawn McGrath, Seamus Boyce and the law firm of Church, Church, Hittle, and Antrim, Caryn Glawe and the law firm of Faegre, Baker, and Daniels, Rep. Todd Huston, Sen. Jim Merritt and Catherine Watkins and David Burian from Congresswoman Brook’s staff,” she said.

Paternoster also credits local businesses for donations, including Renner’s Body Works, Keystone Construction, Kroger and Pedcor, as well as law firms, such as Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman, along with the Hamilton County Bar Association and the Indiana Bar Foundation. A complete list of donors can be seen at http:// www.gofundme.com/6emck8.

Come out to meet Snoopy - Shepherd Insurance will combine paper shredding with a fun opportunity for kids to meet Snoopy from 9 a.m. to noon May 17 in the parking lot of Current in Carmel office at 30 S. Range Line Rd. The free event will feature a shred truck on-site for shredding (1 box/10 lb. limit), popcorn, ice cold water, prizes and giveaways all morning, a face painting station for the kids, a balloon twisting station and a chance to donate old cell phones to benefit Prevail.

Fishers loves dogs

By MacKenzie Klahr • news@currentinfishers.com

Summer often means time for family vacations and special day trips, but it’s very rare we seek out experiences for the four-legged pets members of our family.

Fishers offers a wide variety of dog friendly fun that can make the summer exciting not just for humans, but for our canine relatives as well.

Purrs and Gurrs, located on Olio Road, offers various services such as grooming and a “Central Bark,” a daycare for when owners need a small amount of time away from their dogs to clean the house and run errands.

Though the doggie bakery might be the main attraction that captures your attention when you walk through the door, Purrs and Gurrs offers a wide variety of dog treats and bones – all healthy and safe for dogs.

All of the dog bones are made in the store.

Some of their top flavors include: pug peanut putter, Bichon bacon and cheese and cookie spaniel cranberry. The treats, which are supplied by an outside source, come in the shape of high heels, puckered up red lips, newspapers and hotdogs.

Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream and Yogurt is another tasty treat not only for pups, but their owners as well. Located on 116th St., Handel’s will give dogs one free scoop or cone of vanilla ice cream, allowing the visit to be a true family event.

Dog Parks are a great way to exercise and have time with your dog leash free. Fishers offers two dog parks, Pierson Bark Park and Lodge on 131st St. and Beverly’s located on Promise Road.

Andy Pierson, the owner of Pierson Bark Park sees a lot of fetch and chase games in his park.

Pierson believes interaction amongst canines is very healthy and important.

“Dogs are social animals and naturally like to be around others dogs. Just like people are social beings, we enjoy one another, dogs are the same way,” Pierson said.

Both parks include a fee to join and offer hydration centers along with boarding.

Fishers has a large selection of training opportunities. Camp Cheeney Creek and Paws & Play are just two businesses located in Fishers that provide hands on dog training and care.

Keeping Fishers beautiful

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com The Town of Fishers and Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development joined forces recently to create Keep Fishers clean up Beautiful. The initiative matched volunteers from the community with residents in the neighborhood of Sunblest Countryview at 116th Street and Hague Road to work on small projects in the neighborhood, which is one of the oldest in Fishers.

On May 3, approximately 60 volunteers and several crews from the Town of Fishers showed up to work. According to Aaron Head, an associate planner with the Town of Fishers, Sunblest residents applied for and received a $2,000 grant with which to buy tools and mulch and rent

dumpsters.

“The goal is to give residents a way to do some spring cleaning and also some of the homes that we’re working at are people who may have an injury or maybe a little bit older; or maybe don’t have the means to do some of the things to keep their yard looking nice. Most of them are pretty decent as it is already, so we’re just coming through and giving them a helping hand, replacing a few mailboxes and that kind of stuff,” said Head.

This initiative is part of the town’s “spring into action” campaign which is a town-wide volunteer effort to beautify Fishers. There are other opportunities for volunteers to get involved in keeping Fishers beautiful. You can go online to www. fishers.in.us and click on volunteer opportunities for a list of projects for which you can sign up.

Local campaign finances ethical?

Commentary by Larry Lannan

An August 2013 fundraising letter for a local political action committee caused quite a stir leading up to the Fishers city Elections primary election when it was made public by several people posting a copy on the Internet. The Royal Tiger PAC asked potential donors for a $3,500 contribution to become a “member” and meet decision makers in Fishers.

If you are unfamiliar with PACs, they are conduits between donors and political candidates.

PACs generally support an industry, union or political philosophy.

Based on legally required financial reports for January 1, 2013, through April 11, 2014, the Royal Tiger PAC raised moe than $84,000. Only three individuals gave the PAC $3,500 and 11 business organizations, mostly partnerships, contributed $3,500 each. An Indianapolis PAC sent this group $3,500.

Based on the official reports, the political candidates benefiting from the Royal Tiger PAC include Fishers City Council Candidates David George, Eric Moeller, John Weingardt and Pete Peterson. George and Moeller had primary opponents. Weingardt and Peterson were unopposed in last week’s election.

County Council Candidate Andrew Dollard also received support from this PAC. Unless something happened after April 11 (the legal reporting period deadline), the Royal Tiger PAC did not get involved in the Fishers mayoral

race.

I had one local politician tell me he does listen to his political donors but he’s open to talking with anyone about anything. He believes there is nothing wrong with this arrangement as long as he’s willing to talk with anyone.

The question some would ask is this: Do politicians listen to their donors more carefully than other constituents?

I have no idea what is in the heart and mind of any candidate or elected official. Some have described this system of financing our political campaigns as unseemly. However, it is the system blessed by our laws and the interpretation of our constitution by the United States Supreme Court.

Whether our election laws are right or wrong is a legitimate issue for debate.

Those that oppose groups like the Fishers Tiger PAC should run candidates for office and make their case to the voters. That’s the American way.

I am no lawyer, but it appears the Royal Tiger PAC followed the law in raising and distributing money during this election cycle. Whether the current election finance laws are good or bad for the political system is an argument that will continue.

My oldest child loves sports. The sport does not matter, he loves them all. He loves watching sports, learning about new Plain talk sports and following his favorite teams. It is all so appropriate because he was born during an Olympic year.

He currently plays soccer, which is probably his favorite sport du jour. He loves watching Chelsea play and sports his jersey like a proud fan. One thing I am struggling to teach him, however is being a good sport.

He hates it when the other team scores a goal. He hates losing. And while they do not keep score at his age, all of the kids are mental mathematics gymnasts on the field and always seem to know the score. These moments of “less than stellar sportsmanship” are usually followed by some inappropriate comment by my child. Shortly thereafter, my palm usually hits my head.

Yet another instance of God looking at me and saying, “How do you feel about that, mom?”

Well, where do I begin?

This is one of the main reasons we want him to play sports. Learning how to be a good sport, a good team player, and lose are essential lessons that our kids need to experience and get

darn close to mastering by the time they leave elementary school.

While I wish these were easier lessons to teach, you have to plow through them—one awful comment at a time. Yes, I pulled him off the field in the middle of a tantrum and yes that left the team one player short. And yes, I hope those pearls of wisdom I tried to instill went in his long term memory.

I believe that we are responsible for teaching our little people big lessons now and without these lessons learned early in life, we will have a big mess on our hands in the future. While it is uncomfortable to listen to his rants now, we have some major things to discuss. Teachable moments need to be seized. Someday, in the not too distant future, people will get to decide who is on the team and who is not on the team. It is one thing to not be chosen because of a lack of skill, it is another to not be chosen because you are not a good sport. The latter is far harder to remedy than the former.

No contest: Chairmen discuss lack of Democratic candidates

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon

Now that the primary election is behind us, the winning candidates gear up for the big election in November, right? elections Except in areas like Hamilton County where the primary was, in many cases, the real election because most of the candidates were Republicans and they face no opponent in November.

On a national scale, Hamilton County has not voted for a Democrat for president since 1960.

DailyCaller.com named Hamilton County the fifthmost conservative-friendly county in America.

In the just-ended primary election in Fishers, there were 43 candidates running for the offices of mayor, clerk, city council and Delaware and Fall Creek Township Trustee and Board. Of those 43, there were only three Democrats running.

Fishers’ first mayoral election was just a contest between six Republicans, with no candidates from other parties. The extreme lack of Democratic candidates has led some to say that the two party political system in Hamilton County – including Fishers – is broken.

Keith Clock, the Hamilton County Democratic Party chairman says that it’s been a challenge to get enough candidates.

“It’s sort of a situation where there’s conventional wisdom out there that ‘why would I run as a Democrat in Hamilton ounty?’ The answer to that is, until we see the county sort of equal out as far as Democrats or party affiliations, we need to give voters a choice on election day,” he says.

Clock says it’s a shame that in Fishers, for instance, there’s going to be a few thousand people in a city of 80,000 that will be electing everyone’s council members and mayor in the primary rather than in the general election.

“Until people start looking at the actual candidate instead of their political affiliation, I think it’s going to be a hurdle to overcome,” he adds.

Clock agrees with those that think the system is broken, but his Republican counterpart, Hamilton County Republican Party Chairman Peter Emigh does not. He thinks broken is the wrong terminology to use for so few Democratic candidates.

“That doesn’t mean it’s broken. It just means the party isn’t strong or they don’t have the candidates,” he says.

“I think the views of the residents – whether it be in Fishers or Carmel or anywhere in Hamilton County – are being expressed. That’s what the citizens want. The citizens decide at what level they want to get involved and support candidates and what level they actually want to run for different offices and in Hamilton County I think it has been generally a conservative county where the views of most of the electorate are pretty well reflected and as a result you find that national periodicals consistently rank our cities in Hamilton County the best places to live and raise a family and run a business,” says Emigh.

Clock does see a ray of hope for his Democratic Party though.

“In the past we haven’t had any candidates run in Fishers offices and this time we have three quality people running for city council seats. So I think that is progress. It’s not a full slate but it is progress and it is a choice for the voters that live in those districts. So they have the option in November of electing someone that’s not a Republican on the council,” he says.

According to Clock, he is in talks now with a couple of potential candidates to run for mayor of Fishers in the general election and he says it is definitely a possibility.

“I’m looking for people committed to campaigning and not just putting their name on the ballot,” Clock says.

The deadline for a party to choose a candidate to run is June 30. The head of the Libertarian Party in Hamilton County, Joseph Tucker, says it would love to put up a candidate for mayor of Fishers but currently has no one in mind.

Clock says his cynical side says ‘how can you compete with someone who is directly handing out contracts and tax abatements?’”

“I drive (Ind.) 37 every day going to work and on my way home and I see a Scott Fadness for Mayor sign right next to the American Structure Point construction project and you can’t get more ironic than that. So I mean there are some obstacles to this where you can’t compete in a pay-to-play political system as Fishers is,” says Clock.

A First for Fishers

GOP primary winner Scott Fadness is on track to become Fishers first mayor

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com It had all the makings of an election night thriller: an historic election, a nail-bitingly close race, an electronic glitch that delayed the results and even a surprise personal ancover story nouncement from the winner. But this was not a television script or even a major political campaign. This was Fishers.

There were six candidates vying to be the Republican candidate for first mayor of the soon-to-be City of Fishers. And since, to date, there are no opponents running against them in the November general election, the primary winner has been considered the presumptive first mayor.

It became clear early in the evening as the returns started coming in from the precincts that the race would be between two of the candidates: Town Manager Scott Fadness and former longtime Town Council President Walt Kelly.

What started as a comfortable lead for Fadness faded, and by the time approximately half of the precincts results were in the two candidates were only separated by a few percentage points with some unpredictable areas yet uncounted. And then the results stopped coming in. What was already a painful wait for Fadness as his lead diminished then became excruciating. As it turned out, there was a technical problem at one of the polling places. Finally, the glitch was fixed, the results poured in and Fadness came out the winner by a margin of 46.5 percent to Kelly’s 42.2 percent.

Fadness, at his campaign headquarters jam-packed with supporters and reporters, thanked the crowd, calling it an historic night for Fishers and a night of “firsts.” He then broke the news that he and his wife, Aunna, were expecting their first child, coincidentally, due in November.

They had kept it a secret, Aunna Fadness said, because they

didn’t want the news to interfere with the campaign.

“I am, first of all, so excited about all of Scott’s hard work paying off; and finally being able to tell people that we’re expecting and that we have a normal life too. The campaign was our first priority and just putting all of our energy and focus on that,” she said.

Describing himself as “overwhelmed and humbled” Fadness wasn’t sure what he was most excited about; being mayor or being a dad.

“Oh, boy, it’s a tossup. I know one I can do because I have been a town manager but the dad thing will be a new adventure to say the least. But I’m just excited all the way around. What a great night,” he said.

Concerning his immediate plans, Fadness said he will work toward a smooth transition. “For the next six to eight months, we’re just going to focus on the transition and just make sure that

Fishers residents don’t see any disruption in their services. That’s what my focus is going to be and that we have a smooth transition and we set up a government that can be a model government moving forward. So that’s what I’ll focus on and then when I become mayor we’ll continue to work together. I don’t see it changing in that regard,” he said.

Fadness is the likely first mayor, but other parties do have until June 30 to get their candidates on the ballot for November. So until that deadline passes, Fadness cannot be given the title.

“People are obviously drawing their own assumptions given the fact that the vast majority of Fishers residents are Republican but ultimately, I think either way we’re going to be open to the challenge and we’ll continue to move forward,” he said.

One of the biggest supporters in his campaign for mayor has been Town Council President John Weingardt who was one of the celebrants on election night.

“I am so excited that Scott is going to be our first mayor. He’s going to be a great leader. He’s going to take our community to where we need to go. He’s got the right stuff to really make Fishers the best place in the country to live. He’s first class: great friend, great person, couldn’t be a better person for our community,” he said.

Weingardt’s role will be somewhat diminished in city government since there will now be a mayor in charge. “I’m the last town council president so after this year I’ll just be a city councilman if everything goes well and we’ll just be a checks and balance. I know we’ll be working well together. I look forward to working with Scott. He’s the right guy and I’m very excited,” said Weingardt.

Across town, his close opponent Walt Kelly wished him well and said he was very proud of his team.

“They couldn’t have worked any harder. So, I think at the end of the day, there were six candidates and for some reason there were more votes cast for five people than there was for one. So, no sour grapes. I wish him the best of luck but clearly there was no mandate about what is being done downtown,” said Kelly.

Voter turnout was low across the county and was les than 16 percent in Fishers despite the historic nature of the election.

“I am so excited that Scott is going to be our first mayor. He’s going to be a great leader. He’s going to take our community to where we need to go.

– John Weingardt, Fishers town council president

Kicking kneefat to the curb

FROM THE BACKSHOP The few, proud … the voters And so another primary election has come and gone, with much discussion in the aftermath about low voter turnout. What has been missing from the discourse, though, has been examination. We can’t for any reason understand why Hamilton County voters stayed away from the polls – in droves, as they say. In our county, a paltry 12.1 percent of registered voters turned out to try to make a difference for their communities and our state and nation. To be so disconnected from the opportunity to reward or deny those seeking office is pure abdication if you believe the national polls. We’re told millenials, especially, were no-shows. To that group we would say, “People, this is your future. Are you satisfied with $17.5 trillion in national debt? Are you happy to have the state run (perhaps into the ground financially) a mass transit system?

Your future! Your dime, your dance floor.” The sweeping back in of incumbents nationally was similarly troubling to us, especially on the Republican side of the aisle, where all the ineffective lapdogs seemingly have been rewarded with another term. The two-party system, as it exists today, wins with a low voter turnout.

By not participating, we play into the establishment’s hands, and that’s why nothing ever changes. But is this what our home county looks like now? We don’t understand how any race in last Tuesday’s polling could be considered “not sexy enough” to bring out the vote.

Every single race mattered. It’s about you, your community, your state, your nation and (ta-da!) your wallet. If you truly want change, then you will have voted in the primary, because that is the election that more often than not determines whether incumbents stay or go. The question becomes, then: Do you really want change?

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

A success story

Commentary by Terry Anker

We humans are a collaborative lot. In spite of the occasional primitive provincial urges, we manage to work together in advancing our mutual interests with some regularity. It is on full display when the six distinct chambers of commerce in Hamilton County come together for the immensely popular Hamilton County Chambers Collaborative Luncheon. The chambers deploy their collective power to recruit top-shelf national speakers to address a crowd well north of 500 people. It makes good sense. By identifying common interests and challenges, these business and community leaders accomplish so very much more than might be attainable if isolated.

Speaking to the packed house at the Ritz Charles, Patricia Martin, author of RenGen: Tipping the Culture, shared her extensive research on intergenerational interaction and even more specifically on the unique attributes of the socalled Millennial Generation. She warned of predilections that the Baby-Boom and Gen X folks might carry for this new crowd of Americans that insinuate an entitled – if not outright lazy –

approach to work and community involvement.

Sure, there are distinct differences regarding the application of one’s work ethic, but research shows these kids care a ton about success. In fact, it measures as the top objective of a life well lived. Being safe and free from crime was a distant second; and education followed closely as number three.

Success is a vexing term at any age. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the nuanced meaning of its attainment must most assuredly elude those who have the minimum seniority on the planet. So only in time will this word find its meaning for these young folks. But one can be bolstered by the priority placed on productivity. Won’t its mere pursuit, whether in building empires or homeless shelters, be to the benefit of us all?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.”

– Pablo Picasso

The first time I wore shorts this year I made a horrifying discovery. At some point between last November and now, I achumor quired knee fat. KNEE FAT! I ask you, good people of central Indiana, how does one even develop cellulite at the knee? And no, it’s not actually on the cap or anything, but right above, meaning everything from the hip area and upper thigh region conspired against me to slide down towards my most needed of all joints. How could this have happened?

Do I gain weight in the chest area? No, of course, not. That would be too convenient. Do I gain it in the stomach, where I could smoosh it all in with control-top undergarments? No again.

All of my extra lard settles in the third quartile, so unless I’m committed to Bermudas or Capris, the whole world is gonna see it. My pasty, white skin isn’t helping either; it’s like I’ve highlighted all the dimples with a halogen spot.

But I digress. The point of all of this is that I am now highly motivated to seriously get back into to shape. Sure I fooled myself into thinking doing one 30-minute Insanity workout a week could keep this 40-plus old body in top form, but I’ve always known it wasn’t enough. Even the push-ups I’ve added in to meet my New Year’s Resolution of kick-ass arms aren’t doing much. My solution? A triathlon! Not an Ironman or Olympic or even a Sprint, but a 400-meter swim, 12-mile bike, and 5K jog for babies. It’s scheduled for the first weekend in August, giving me about three months to prepare. And now that I’ve announced it to you, my adoring public, I am fully vested.

Admittedly, I am nervous. I’ve never done anything like this before. I can run and bike and swim, just not all that well and definitely not consecutively for the sixty to ninety minutes it’ll take to survive. I’m also concerned about training. I have a 10-year old mountain bike with sketchy handle bars, no pool, and very little free time. But I’ll figure it out. I cannot go through summer with this extra poundage on my lower thighs, and I want to model healthy living for my kids. Besides, according to a schedule I downloaded from the Internet (where everything is true and trustworthy!), I really only need about two hours a week to fit in each of the three disciplines. A little freestyle here, a little cycling there, eat some carbs, drink some water. How hard can it possibly be?

So goodbye, knee fat! You must find somewhere else to reside. This momma’s wearing shorts come summer. Peace out.

Mad about MAD magazine

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

Albert B. Feldstein passed away the end of last month at age 88. The memory of his work, the importance of his legacy and humor the effect his magazine had on me (and millions of others) back in the ’50s and ’60s makes me smile.

Feldstein was the editor of MAD magazine from 1956 until 1984. He was just one of a cast of creative writers and cartoonists who changed the landscape of humor and influenced a generation of baby boomers. MAD’s material was not as caustic or risqué as Lenny Bruce’s or George Carlin’s, but in its own way, it was just as subversive, mainly because on the surface it appeared gentler. It poked fun at American institutions (family, politics, relationships, movie plots), not by offending, but by educating and challenging the younger generation to think critically.

Specific covers of the magazine are etched in my memory. Most were graced by Alfred E. Neuman, a Howdy-Doodyish looking fellow (now, with an eerie resemblance to both Bush 43 and Barack Obama) who came to represent MAD. It was Feldman who selected this likeness to be the publication’s mascot. The rest is mystery.

Was the character a buffoon? A nerd? A savant?

No matter – Alfred’s constant mantra “What, Me Worry?” brilliantly balanced the satirical content of the magazine with a dose of coping advice for youngsters like myself. After the Three Mile Is-

land nuclear incident in 1979, Alfred’s refrain was briefly changed to “Yes, Me Worry.”

The cover that preceded the 1960 presidential election proclaimed “Congratulations, Mr. Nixon— We were with you all the way.” If you flipped the magazine over, the alternative front cover read: “Congratulations, Mr. Kennedy—We were with you all the way.” The political hedging was a commentary, of course, on punditry and slippery journalism … and it is just as fresh today.

Another feature of MAD magazine was “The Lighter Side” by cartoonist Dave Berg. Berg lived in my hometown of New Rochelle, not a mile from my house. He was the precursor, I believe, to the kind of the observational humor that comprises contemporary comedy. His cartoon panels ended with biting observations about life in a typical family, often lampooning Roger Kaputnik, his own alter ego, in the strip.

I did very little research for this article, relying totally on memories from almost 50 years ago.

My old teachers back in junior high school would probably have admonished that this is not a journalistic way to write about events that occurred a half century ago. All I can say is: “What, Me Worry?”

Van Derbur speech was inspiring Commentary by Toby Stark

When we invited former Miss America, author and incest survivor Marilyn Van Derbur to be the keynote speaker at our opinion 2014 Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast, we knew she would be outstanding. But we didn’t realize she would be OUTSTANDING. Marilyn shared her story of sexual abuse at the hands of her father and her journey of healing. She offered a message of empowerment and hope. Her words educated the uneducated and unaware, and they validated those who are far too aware of this epidemic.

During her 50-minute speech to the crowd of nearly 300 people, Marilyn invited survivors of child sexual abuse to stand. She does this because she believes this action helps a survivor shed their shame and their fear; that it empowers them to continue their journey of healing. Or begin that journey.

She asked the audience, How can we expect our children to tell when we as adults don’t tell? She told that crowd that we need to stand to show children and adult survivors that they are not alone, and that they have nothing to be ashamed of. She also told everyone in the packed room that there was no right or wrong response. It was OK if a survivor chose not to stand or didn’t feel strong enough to stand. It was a powerful invitation.

Some people had heard Marilyn before and at that time couldn’t stand. They came to the Friends of Chaucie’s Place Breakfast to stand.

Many stood for the first time. Many stood with co-workers and friends. Many stood before they had even told their families about their abuse.

Lives were changed that day. Conversations were started that day. Conversations between co-workers, friends and family members. Lives were changed that day.

“I am now going to start on my journey to healing from my abuse as a child and young adult.”

“I’m ready to get on with my life…” “…I had never publicly announced that I was a victim of child abuse. …After listening to Marilyn Van Derbur, the one thing I didn’t feel was alone.

When she asked survivors to stand, I knew it was OK. I hope now that I can share this with my family. …Every journey starts with a single step.”

“I stood proud with no shame for myself and all the children who suffer sexual abuse. We need to help them be able to tell so they know they are not alone and have done nothing wrong and didn’t deserve any abuse.”

Toby Stark is executive director of Chaucie’s Place, a nonprofit child advocacy organization that prevents child sexual abuse and youth suicide with prevention programs

‘Sleeping Beauty’ brings tutus and princesses to the Tarkington

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

Princess Aurora will be played by dancer Erika Cole, left, and Nicole Retzlaff will play a lilac fairy in the Central Indiana Dance Ensemble’s presentation of “The Sleeping Beauty.”

(Submitted photo)

“The Sleeping Beauty” • Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing arts in Carmel • 2 and 7:30 p.m., May 17 • Tickets start at $23 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble will stage the familiar tale of “The Sleeping Beauty” at the Tarkington Theatre on May 17, and the cast believes it should appeal to a wide audience.

“It’s a princess story, so of course you’ll get the little girls, but it’s also a very technically proficient ballet so it’s great for those who really know ballet,” Ballet said Erika Cole, who plays Princess Aurora.

It’s one of the most well-known fairy tales, but the ballet version varies slightly from Disney’s animated film. There’s no Maleficent, the evil villain created for the 1959 film. The original tale was turned into a ballet in Russia in 1890 and features the evil fairy godmother Carabosse who casts a spell on the princess because she is jealous that she isn’t invited to her christening. As a result, Princess Aurora will prick her finger on her 16th birthday and fall into a timeless sleep until a handsome prince wakes her with a kiss.

Artistic Director Suzanne Delay carefully picked costumes and dance movements to portray the forces of good versus evil in this production.

“The good fairies, the lilac fairies, are in all beautiful, colorful tutus with sparkles and soft movements and beautiful lighting, but the Carabosse character, the evil fairy, is in black and has evil dancers with him with heavier music that is more ominous,” she said.

Delay conducted open auditions to fill out the cast of more than 80 dancers. The Central Indiana Dance Ensemble has a company of about 50 dancers ages 8 to 18, so plenty of new faces were added for this production.

Three professional guest performers were brought in for the show. Cole, who plays Aurora, will be dancing with Grant Dettling, who plays the prince.

Both Cole and Dettling danced together for the Dayton Ballet company for about eight years, so they have chemistry. Cole recently retired from the company and moved to Carmel. Professional dancer Steven Wright plays Carabosse.

Cole said she hopes that families will come see a beautiful interpretation of a classic fairy tale.

“People enjoy seeing a different version of the story without words,” she said, “And it’s a ballet with a happy ending.”

Tale of wayward daughter at IMA

By Amanda Foust • editorial@youarecurrent.com

A local ballet company wants people to welcome the onset of spring with a tale of young love.

Alyona Yakovleva-Randall, the Ballet founding artistic director of the Indiana Ballet Conservatory in Carmel, said that the group’s upcoming performance of “La Fille mal Gardée” at the Indianapolis Museum of Art will be a charming and lively tale.

“The ballet is filled with colorful costumes and sets, beautiful dancing and a storyline that takes you on a countryside journey filled with so much whimsy, humor, and joy,” she said of the play whose title translates to “The Wayward Daughter.”

The story is about a girl named Lise who falls in love with a young farmer, Colas. Marriage is not an option because Lise’s mother has arranged a marriage for Lise to a dim-witted rich man named Nicez.

“The story of the ballet is the process of Lise and Colas falling in love and how they work through the process. It is very comical, light, and funny,” said Courtney Nesser, a senior at Indiana Cyber Charter School who plays the character of Lise.

And Nesser said she has experienced a lot of growth through the variety of emotions her character experiences.

“Even though this ballet was made many

years ago and is an old story, the principles you can take away from the story line you can still apply to life today,” she said. “It is very interesting to see the difference between marrying for money versus marrying for love and how Lise decides between the two.”

Yakovleva-Randall has enjoyed her role in the ballet as well and said she takes the individual growth of her students seriously.

“The reason we take on these huge challenges is to equip our pre-professional dancers with the experience of producing full-length ballets,” she said.

Nesser had been taught by Yakovleva-Randall for almost 10 years of her dancing career and has plans to further her growth at Butler University in the fall. Her plans include pursuing a bachelor’s degree in dance performance and taking classes within the exercise science curriculum.

“Her heart is as big as her beautiful smile, and I know she will do great things,” Yakovleva-Randall said of Nesser. “Come join us by being swept away to another time and place where we can watch young love unfold with an undercurrent of giggles and celebration of the glorious spring we’ve been awaiting.”

“La Fille mal Gardée” • Toby Theatre in the Indianapolis Museum of Art • 4000 Michigan Rd. in Indianapolis • 2 and 7 p.m. May 17 • Tickets start at $15 • For more information visit www.

If you have money in the market, specifically in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, you may be wondering: Should I use index or Finance actively-managed investments?

While everyone’s situation is different, let’s take a look at the difference between active and passive management.

The first concept to understand about active management is that there are two broad-level ways to manage investments and they involve fundamental and technical analysis of the market and investments.

Fundamental analysts consider such things as the past records of assets, earnings, sales, products, management and markets of a company in order to try to predict a company’s future success or failure.

This would include analyzing the financial results of business decisions made by management.

Technical analysis, on the other hand, is concerned with analyzing the price movement patterns of a company’s securities.

Technical analysts use charts or computer programs to identify and project price trends in a market, security, fund or futures contract. They are attempting to predict future price movements based upon past price movements, and the underlying fundamentals are not important or taken into consideration.

In summary, fundamentalists try to assess the “true” value of a stock, assuming that the market price will eventually adjust to the intrinsic or true

value, while technicians try to predict the price movements of the stock and don’t care about why the price will move.

What is interesting about both of these measures is that they are both trying to predict the future movements of the markets based on current data.

The equivalent is also true of a weather forecaster: using current and past data, they are trying to predict the weather tomorrow, this weekend and next week. Moreover, they are also trying to “one up” the next station. I have seen the 10-day forecast be “oneupped” by the 14-day forecast, and I have even seen forecasters put out 21-day reports.

In the end, though, it’s better served for investors if they have the “proper equipment” for whatever the weather brings: umbrella, sunscreen, a sweatshirt, a pair of shorts and a windbreaker.

The equivalent in portfolio management is to ensure that you have a well-diversified and allocated portfolio, ready to capitalize on most any market situation and circumstance. But it’s important to note, though, that asset allocation and diversification does not guarantee there won’t be any losses.

Just remember to control the factors that you can control: fees and expenses. Let the markets do the rest.

Commentary by Adam Cmejla

Three beaten-down stocks to consider - If you don’t have time to shop around, here are three of the market’s top stocks to buy: 1) iRobot (IRBT) landed another multi-million-dollar contract with the U.S. Dept. of Defense to supply robotics and parts to the military.

But IRBT shares have fallen 25 percent since their early March peak. Shareholders made a big mistake by selling. iRobot has managed to grow its top line in four of the past five years, and has turned a profit in all five of them.

2) Waste Management (WM) pays dividends – and increases them – like clockwork. And investors who wade into Waste Management now will find the yields on their investment in WM stock are a little sweeter thanks to a 13 percent tumble the stock took between November and March. Although shares of WM stock have advanced about 8 percent from those March lows, the yield is still an attractive 3.4 percent.

3) Brunswick (BC) managed to top estimates in every quarter of 2011, 2012 and 2013, the recreation products company - maker of fitness equipment and Boston Whaler boats, among other things - merely met estimates in the first quarter. As a result, BC shares sold off to the tune of 2.5 percent following the news, topping off what’s now become a 15 percent plunge from March’s highs. In the long run, Brunswick is still the same company that has had a multi-year habit of topping estimates and growing the bottom line. SOURCE: MSN Money

Revisit and revise your goals

By Kathleen Connelly

Join us this Saturday, May 17th for food, fun, and Snoopy in downtown Carmel!

MEET SNOOPY MAY 17th

>FOOD >DRINKS >PRIZES Bring your friends and family to downtown Carmel on May 17th to get a picture with Snoopy and grab some popcorn to celebrate spring in Carmel.

Free to all! 9am to noon at the Current Publishing office at 30 S Rangeline Rd.

How can this be? Four months have already passed in 2014. Are you like most people and you made some New Year’s resoluFitness tions? Now that you have settled into the year, have some or all of those resolutions gone back into the drawer to be pulled out again next year? There is still a way to plan for, take action towards and achieve those goals!

The first thing to do is prioritize. Take a look back at the resolutions you made and pick the one that is most important to you right now.

Okay, now that you have figured that out, take that resolution and make it more specific. For example, if the goal is to lose weight, break it down into how much weight you are going to lose – or if the goal is to improve nutrition, what foods do you want to introduce into your diet? The more specific and realistic a goal is the more easily you can pick out the appropriate action steps.

Next is to take your specific goal and turn it into action steps. What specific actions are you going to do to start moving towards this goal?

For example, losing 10 pounds turns into walking for 30 minutes every other day and eating breakfast every day. Improving nutrition turns into eating one serving of fruit at breakfast and eating one serving of vegetables at lunch and dinner. I believe in focusing on the positive instead of focusing on what you are giving up. Yes,

certain aspects of your life will need to change for these action steps to occur, but nothing is off the table completely if you know that it is always your choice.

Lastly, decide when you are going to start your action steps and prepare accordingly. If eating fruit at breakfast is an action, make sure you have it in the fridge for each morning. On the days you are going to walk, set out your clothes and shoes in a convenient spot. Action is more easily done if we prepare ourselves, plan for it and create the environment that will make our actions successful. Your resolutions don’t have to be made year after year and never realized.

Make them realistic for your life, make them something you feel positive about, turn them into specific action steps, prepare for those action steps and then go for it!

Many people do not brush their teeth properly, which causes as much damage as not brushing at all. A toothbrush should be held like a pencil and used for at least two minutes. Coverage of the area between the teeth and gums is just as important as the brushing the teeth themselves.

Michelangelo’s Marble Miracles Commentary by Don Knebel

In 1501, the overseers of Florence, Italy’s recently-completed Duomo gave a 26-year-old sculptor an already chiseled abantravel doned block of Carrara marble to see what he could make of it. What the young Michelangelo made was David, probably the most famous statue in history.

The overseers had hoped Michelangelo, already known for his Pieta in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica, could use the discarded – but still valuable – marble to create a prosaic statue to fit into a niche near the roofline of their domed cathedral. Michelangelo had grander ideas. He worked more than two years in his Florence studio releasing his classic image of David from the marble. When completed in 1504, David was more than 17 feet tall and weighed 12,000 pounds, making the intended location high above the ground impractical. More important, the citizens of Florence saw in the heroic figure of David a reflection of their own resistance to domination from Rome and the Medici’s and wanted the statue to be seen. They positioned David just outside city hall, his watchful gaze directed toward Rome. The statue quickly became the symbol of the Florentine Republic and its leading role in the Italian Renaissance.

The sinewy David demonstrated Michelangelo’s extraordinary knowledge of human anatomy, garnered from corpses he dissected when only 18. But the anatomical correctness was too much for Queen Victoria, who received a replica of the statute as a gift from the Duke of Tuscany in 1857. She ordered that an 18-inch wide plaster fig leaf be hung strategically on hooks when she and other royal ladies visited the museum where David was displayed.

After braving the elements for 369 years, Michelangelo’s masterpiece was moved into Florence’s Galeria dell’Accademia for protection and its position outside city hall taken up by a replica.

Visitors to the Accademia can also see Michelangelo’s four “Unfinished Slaves,” in which incomplete figures seem to be straining to emerge from the surrounding marble. Whether Michelangelo abandoned these works or intentionally left them unfinished to show the struggles of human

Weary vs. wary

Commentary by Jordan Fischer

Are you familiar with the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon?

Also known as the Grammar guy frequency illusion, Baader-Meinhof is a cognitive bias in which a piece of information that’s recently come to your attention (i.e. a word, a phrase, a fact) suddenly seems to appear “with improbable frequency.”

If I may coin a phrase, a particular grammar error has been Baader-Meinhoffing me all week – the mix-up of “weary” and “wary.”

Although I suppose they sound a bit alike, their meanings really aren’t close to one another.

Hopefully we’ll be able to quickly clear up any confusion over them.

To be “weary” is to be “lacking strength, energy or freshness.” It can also mean to be bored or annoyed, or to have your tolerance or patience exhausted. At the end of a marathon you’re likely

to be weary, and you can grow weary of a fourhour lecture as well. You might grow weary of disciplining a troublesome employee and finally just fire them.

To be “wary” is to be cautious or suspicious of someone or something. If you go camping in the woods, you should be wary of ticks. If an investment offer seems too good to be true, be wary: It probably is.

There’s not much more to say on this one.

While I see how an overzealous spell check program might lead to a mix-up, “weary” and “wary” simply don’t mean the same thing and should not be confused for one another. Feel free to use “Baader-Meinhoffing” whenever you like, though.

An outdoor retreat designed for year-round entertainment

Commentary by Larry Greene

before & after

ORIGINAL DECK/PATIO: This home, located in the Village of West Clay in West Carmel, was built in 2004. The homeblueprint for owners’ vision was to improvement create an outdoor space that could be enjoyed year-round: “We moved in during the peak of the summer and spent a lot of time at local pools.

We decided to add a pool of our own and do something about the deck.” While the pool builder focused on the pool, the owners realized they needed some assistance creating a complete master plan of the backyard. After looking at several 3D designs of the entire backyard, they decided to design an open covered porch which would connect the indoors with the pool area.

EXTERIOR FINISH: The original deck was removed and a new stamped concrete patio with steps was installed. Structural beams and 6x6 structural columns were installed to support the new roof. To give the porch a cohesive look with the rest of the house, all of the cedar trim was painted to match the existing trim and matching shingles were installed. Trex composite railing in a black color was installed around the perimeter of the porch and on the small staircase leading into the home.

UPGRADED FEATURES: In order to deliver on the homeowners’ vision, several upgrades were incorporated into the final design. An outdoor

RESULT: The owners were pleased they took the time to connect the pool area to the home by creating the new open-air entertainment area. The project exceeded their goal of creating the ideal spot for relaxation and entertainment for their family and friends.

kitchen was added with a built-in gas grill, mini fridge, storage cabinets and a limestone countertop.

Infrared heaters were also installed in the ceiling directly above the dining area to keep guests comfortable throughout all seasons.

The final touch includes a relaxing seating area just off the kitchenette with a perfect view of the wall-mounted flat screen television.
