Youth Assistance Program recognizes kids at breakfast

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com On May 10, the Fishers Youth Assistance Program held its inaugural Breakfast of Champions, a Accomplishment program aimed at honoring students in the Hamilton Southeastern School District who have overcome challenges. Students were nominated by teachers, guidance counselors and life-skills instructors.

At the breakfast, 11 students across the district were recognized for overcoming challenges such as physical and mental needs, family challenges, transferring to a new school, losing a parent to cancer and more.

Students were recognized at the program by those who nominated them and received a plaque from Supt. Allen Bourff.

“As a nonprofit, we are always looking for ways to engage community members as adult volunteers looking to serve more youth in mentor or tutor services and busi-

The Youth Recognition Breakfast began in 2011 through the Westfield Youth Assistance Program to recognize youth in the school system.

Group to compete in finals

By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com A small group of fifth-graders at Fishers Intermediate Junior High education will participate in the Destination Imagination Global Finals May 24-27 in Knoxville, Tenn. DI is a nonprofit organization that promotes hands-on learning through challenges that test kids’ creativity, problem-solving and project-management skills.

The Chicken Sinks was formed at the beginning of the 2016-17 school year. Members are Owen Maass, Vaugh Ehrgott, Madison Sheldon and Trenton Hatch. The team recently competed in the regional and state academic tournaments and advanced to the Global Finals.

“Every year the program offers several different challenges in which the kids can participate," team manager Stephen Sheldon said. "They all chose improv as the challenge they wanted to pursue. Every year they're given a different challenge, and based on the challenge they have to use their improv skills to solve the challenge or present a presentation to a series of judges."

From left, Owen Maass, Vaugh Ehrgott, Madison Sheldon and Trenton Hatch. (Submitted photo)

This year’s challenge is called “3-peat.”

“There is a 12-by-12 box the kids can fill with props. Then they have a series of characters and genres they have to research,” Sheldon said. “At the competition, the judge will pull three characters and three genres randomly. Then they will give them some sort of surprise element. They then have three minutes to use their props and improv skills to develop stories based on the information they were given.”

Fishers resident Emily Sweet to act in upcoming series

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Emily Sweet has always had a passion for being in the spotlight. Growing up in Baltimore, she remembered searching for acting books during the school’s book cover story fair and performing in musicals. Now, the Fishers resident will star in a series called “SYN.” “I’d look at (acting) as something I have always wanted to do since I was little. I love it, and I’m surrounded by people I really like,” Sweet said. “This is something I absolutely love to do. It’s fun to get on set and see all these people. It’s fun to see the story unfold.”

Sweet would spend 13-16 hours a day filming the series. The premier is scheduled for fall.

“ION (Television) bought the pilot (episode), but Amazon Studios bought the remainder of the season to be streamed through Amazon,” Sweet said. “There are 13 episodes (and) hopefully, more. Usually, they see how the first season goes, then they’ll pick us up for another one if viewings are high or the following is high.”

Since Amazon Studios bought the season, the pilot will show there, and it will need to be refilmed. The promos will be filmed the first week of June in Los Angeles and the first season will be filmed in August, September and October.

“SYN” takes place in a fictional Pennsylvania town where the lead character, Jess, played

by Sweet, moves from a big city to escape her past. “(The series) follows this girl Jess who I play, and she lives in a big city and some horrible things happened, so she escaped from her past and moved to this fictitious town to get a fresh start,” Sweet said. “She finds out that people she’s surrounded herself with are dysfunctional. All these people have deadly secrets of their own, so now she’s trying to come to terms with that.”

Prior to “SYN,” Sweet sang in bands when she moved to Indiana three years ago and also was signed to a modeling agency. She came across the casting call for “SYN” through an acting website and decided to audition.

“When I started doing film acting, I was on (the Internet Movies Database) and you can pay a membership fee to get all castings through

IMDb, so that’s how I came across ‘SYN,’” she said. “I was just searching and looking and came across it and auditioned. Then weeks had gone by, and I hadn’t heard anything back.

I kind of forgot about it, and they reached out again for a call back, and that was it.”

Sweet said she enjoys acting as a career for the characters she plays.

“I like that you can play different characters and different people,” she said. “I like that you get to meet so many different people that have the same kind of interests and are taken to different places, literally and figuratively. You’re not just reading lines. You have to find out (the character’s) backstory and really try to live as that character. It’s hard, but it’s fun. I like it.

One day you could play as a character like Jess, and then you could have a role that’s completely different. It’s not a normal job.”

“SYN” Assistant Director Alicia Godmasch said Sweet has brought Jess’s character to life.

"The creator of the show, Toni Morgan Haye, had a very specific vision for Emily's character, Jess,” Godmasch said. “This show is, in fact, centered around Jess’s life. Emily Sweet has brought Toni's vision to reality. She is not only a pleasure to work with, but also has the ability to recreate the character's trials and triumphs with ease and impeccable detail. Nuances that are central to this character, Emily naturally incorporates into each and every scene she performs. Now that I have seen Emily in action, I couldn't imagine another actress playing this role. We are confident that she will be able to draw viewers into the world of ‘SYN.’" For more, visit jenesisfilms.com/syn.

Filming closer to home In addition to the lead role in “SYN,” a series debuting this summer, Fishers resident Emily Sweet will bring her acting career a bit closer to home.

Sweet began filming a short film in Fishers last month, called “Hold Your Breath.” Cast members traveled across the nation, and Sweet said she plans to finish the film by summer and hopes that Flix Brewhouse in Carmel will premiere it during the late summer or early fall. The film is a thriller.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Decisions, decisions Commentary by Terry Anker It is inevitable. Eventually, we are asked to describe what we do. Sometimes, the question comes from a stranger sitting next to us on a plane. Sometimes, it comes from our growing children, just beginning to understand that we have full and complete lives that do not include them. Sometimes, it is a line on a government form.

Dentist. Cowboy. Astronaut. Each of these labels seems succinct enough. But do they really tell us, or anybody, what we do? An astronaut rides a rocket ship into space.

Right? But are they an adventurer, scientist or pilot? Can they be all?

Such is the problem when folks, innocently enough, say to the entrepreneur, “What, exactly, is it that you do?” Well, we build and manage companies. If, one might suppose, an inanimate object can be managed. Maybe said another way, we build and manage people. OK. Experience teaches that much of the entrepreneur’s capacity is consumed by decisions. Certainly, they sell, keep books, clean the floors and all manner of necessary tasks. Yet as a company grows, decision-making may be the singular and exclusive function that cannot be outsourced.

The power of choice, in many ways, is liberating. Directions are set and plans are laid.

Good. But the responsibility accompanying this authority can be burdensome. Are the decisions the right ones?.

With so much at stake, a bit of preparation is warranted, if not required. Then, where do we begin? How do we teach ourselves, our children and our colleagues to value positive choice? One assumes that to be successful, we will need to decide.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Virginia, no animal may be hunted for on Sunday with the exception of raccoons, which may be hunted until 2 a.m.

I don’t believe in that God, either Commentary by Mike Colaw I am not sure how many times I have said that phrase as someone works to convince me that God doesn’t exist. I have found the best question to ask someone when they begin to tell me they don’t believe in God is simply this: “Will you tell me about the God you don’t believe in?”

I think many people reject a God that has been accidentally painted poorly by well-intentioned flannel board Sunday school teachers that ignored hard questions because they didn’t have the time or didn’t know how to answer them in class.

The other place this often emerges is popular literature and media. For example, if Angela of the popular television show “The Office” represents a Christian, I reject that form of religion fully, too.

Imagine if I valued the worth of a doctor based on a shaman tribesman or Voodoo doctor without taking into account

the top research universities operating to date.

In my own season of deep doubt, I realized I wasn’t comparing apples to apples. I was often defining the worth of Christianity against people and groups of people that quite possibly weren’t Christian at all, even though they called themselves Christian. I eventually stumbled across men like C.S. Lewis, Alvin Plantinga, Timothy Keller and William Lane Craig, just to name a few.

These authors spent significant time dealing with some of the hardest questions proposed against religion, broadly, and Christianity, specifically. I began to realize some of the best and brightest philosophers and researchers out there believe in God, and there are good answers to some of the hardest questions.

This is not my Mother’s Day. No, I refuse to accept the second Sunday in May as the one day of the year that I am humor to be celebrated. I didn’t vote for it, I don’t like it and so I am calling for a revolution. Moms everywhere, let us unite in strength to reschedule our most precious of days to a time that makes some freakin’ sense. Like a Saturday. In July.

Seriously, how is a mother supposed to enjoy herself during one of the busiest months on the calendar? I spent most of May 14th at Warren Central High School suffering through the second day of a dance competition and attempting to grade a gazillion high school papers, only to come home to a house still destroyed from our Derby party and Doo packing his bags for a business trip. Happy Mother’s Day! We hope you enjoy hours of watching faux-lashed tiny tappers, reading Monica Lewinsky short answers, scrubbing borrowed chafing dishes and prepping for the joys of single-parenting!

No. Thank. You. Between end-of-school shenanigans, end-of-season tournaments and end-of-May race hoopla, no mother in Indiana has even a free second to take time for herself. That is why I propose July, perhaps the third Saturday. Shops and salons are all open, no one is graduating, the weather is almost guaranteed to be beautiful, and apart from those silly families stupid enough to get involved with baseball, kids’ activities are essentially nonexistent.

I wouldn’t even have to feel guilty about skipping church. I could spend an entire day doing whatever I wanted without sacrificing maternal, professional or domestic responsibilities.

Let’s make Mother’s Day great again!

Peace out.

Spell by numbers Commentary by Dick Wolfsie There should be a law against having phone numbers that denote words instead of, well, numbers. Hello, it’s a humor phone number, not a phone word. There’s a national organization dedicated to educating people about a serious illness. Their phone number spells the name of the disease. That makes the number easy to remember, but impossible to dial on your cell phone if you are in the car and have to watch the road, balance your coffee and try to figure out where the PQRS button is.

While trying to dial this number, I almost ran into an 8733, which is “tree” in touchpad language, in case you haven’t mastered this concept yet. I got so mad I probably said a number I shouldn’t say in mixed company: 3687. Before you go running to your phone to figure this out or call the newspaper to complain that I said some dirty digits, I picked four numbers at random that don’t spell anything, but maybe I better go back and re-check. I wouldn’t want any four-number words in a family newspaper.

Suppose I wanted to have a number like I AM DICK. Apparently, those same num-

bers for I AM DICK could spell a lot of other words or letter combinations. Maybe someone else has beaten me to the punch.

I went to www.phonespelling.com, where you can see what words your phone number might spell. That’s where I discovered that 426-3425 (I AM DICK) has almost 10,000 additional letter combinations. Here are some they thought were unforgettable: GAN-E-IJC, BN-EH-AL or IC-MFG-BK. See how much simpler it is to remember seven letters than seven numbers?

If you are from the planet GAMDIA-5, you’d have snapped this number up eons ago to make it easier for fellow aliens to remember how to reach you.

If you enjoyed this column, don’t forget it was written by 3425. But you and I don’t have to be so formal. You can call me 3.

On the other hand, if you feel this is a prime example of how I can write the dumbest stuff and still get paid, I think it is fair to say: You’ve got my number.

Commentary by Kara Babcock The flowers are blooming and the sun is out! It’s time to get outside and enjoy the springtime in Indifamily health ana! After months of being stuck indoors, it’s wonderful to finally be able to do outdoor activities and enjoy the beautiful weather with your family. If your little ones are anything like mine, they love to be outside and be active.

Here are some great suggestions on activities, places and exercises you can do with your little ones outside this spring.

Walking stroller lunges Stand behind your stroller with your hands on the handlebar, shoulder-width apart. Lunge forward with one leg, pushing the stroller out in front of you. Your knee should be directly above your ankle and your thigh parallel to the ground. Return to the standing position and lunge with the other leg.

“Kiss the baby” push-up Find a bench and park your baby’s stroller safely against the bench with the brake in place. Facing your baby/stroller, place your arms on it, shoulder-width apart.

Marsh’s presence in Hamilton County is shrinking.

Three Marsh stores in Hamilton County will close this month, followgrocery ing a May 11 announcement that the company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The supermarkets at 8766 E. 96th St., Fishers, and 1960 E. Greyhound Pass, Carmel, closed May 21. The store at 17901 River Ave., Noblesville, will cease operations May 27.

Marsh issued a statement May 4, calling it a reluctant decision to close nine stores, including the three in the county.

“Our decision was solely the product of the difficult competitive environment and in no way reflects on the efforts of the great associates working in these stores,” the statement said.

Tom Mulligan, a Marsh spokesman, said he couldn’t supply specific numbers on how many employees each store had. All inquiries are being handled by the Marsh corporate office.

“We are working to help our associates find other opportunities within Marsh, as has always been our practice,” Mulligan said.

“We also are partnering with WorkOne and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development to help our people hone their skills to re-enter the workforce.”

Blueprint for Improvement: Indoor/outdoor living space addition Commentary by Larry Greene

Before Background Info: These owners needed a design/build solution for their home in Zionsville’s The Willows neighborhood to add both indoor and outdoor living space.

Before problems:

After solutions:

After

The goal was to design an addition with a seamless connection from their new indoor living space to their new outdoor living space.

1. The new structure’s proportions and materials were studied to ensure the new addition looked original to the home.

2. From the existing home, the basement was reworked to create an open foyer with a bridge to connect the two spaces on the main level. Two beautiful French doors from the new bridge allow convenient access to the new exterior patio. The new basement stair connects to the existing basement and to the new basement storage under the addition.

3. Large casement windows, a vaulted ceiling, perimeter accent lighting and durable porcelain tile finished off the living space to maximize daylight and inviting aesthetics.

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling. You may email him at lgreene@caseindy. com. To see more before-andafter pictures of this project, visit caseindy.com/blog.

Although their existing home fit most of the needs of their family, these owners were still missing additional living space and also a natural connection to their expansive back yard to enjoy the beautiful weather.

2017 Monday, July 3rd & Tuesday, July 4th

A distinctive minaret in Marrakesh, Morocco, demonstrates the lasting influence of 12th century Islamic travel architecture. Its name reflects the lasting influence of 12th century Islamic learning.

Marrakesh was founded in 1062 by the Almoravids as the capital of an Islamic empire comprising southern Spain and northwest Africa. In 1147, the Almohads, practicing a more severe form of Islam, conquered Marrakesh and destroyed its mosque. By the end of the 12th century, the Almohads, led by Yaqub Al-Mansur, had completed a new mosque on the site of a destroyed Almoravid palace. The most famous feature of what became known as the Koutoubia Mosque is its 253-foot-tall sandstone minaret. A wide ramp inside the square minaret enabled the muezzin to ride his horse to the balcony to announce prayer time. The minaret is topped by four gilded copper balls extending from a dome. An improbable legend says the fourth ball was created from the jewelry of the Al-Mansur’s wife, taken from her as penance for breaking her

Ramadan fast. The distinctive design of the minaret was copied for Almohad mosques in Seville, Spain, which later became the bell tower of the Seville Cathedral, and in Rabat, which was never completed. Twin towers of the state historical museum on Moscow’s Red Square mimic the Marrakesh minaret.

The word “Koutoubia” remembers the dozens of book sellers who once plied their trade at the base of the minaret. In the 12th century, when much of Christian Europe was still intellectually asleep, Islamic Marrakesh was an important center of learning. One of the residents of Marrakesh at the time was Averroes, the Spanish genius born in Cordoba in 1126. Averroes’ commentaries on the works of Aristotle, which had been forgotten in the West, were taken back to Europe by visiting scholars, where they eventually formed some of the foundations of the Renaissance.
