Art in the park

By Holly Kline • news@currentinfishers.com Art in the Park in Fishers is a fun, free, familyfriendly event that offers the opportunity to browse and purchase beautiful and unique festival works of art from local artists. This year the art festival takes place on May 31 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the grounds of the Nickel Plate Amphitheater.

Doug Whisman was chairman of Art in the Park for three years and this year co-chairs the event.

“Art in the Park brings local artists together with residents,” said Whisman. “Supporting local art helps artists survive, which makes the community a more interesting place.”

Presented for the first time by the Renaissance Faire, Art in the Park will be held next to the Fishers Farmers Market so visitors should expect plenty of free entertainment all day and lots of Farmers Markets treats available for purchase until noon.

Adam Fivush is the chairman of the Renaissance Faire and is excited that his organization is involved in this year’s Art in the Park.

“We’ve used Art in the Park as a way to promote our event and we always enjoy Art in the Park so much,” said Fivush.

The Art in the Park festival will consist of approxi-

mately 25 on-site artists selling their works, and Fivush says that some will sell originals and some will offer prints.

“The art is juried,” he explained. “We do have some jewelry. We try not to overdo any particular style.”

Whisman added that the artists will likely engage with the public.

“This is less of an art show and more of an art sale,” he explained. “Art in the Park gives artists an opportunity to sell direct and allows them to find new customers as well as possibly land future commissions.”

Entertainment starts at 10 a.m. on the amphitheater stage. The band Redrum will play and they recently won “Most Creative Band” at the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon festival. A variety of other bands will participate plus a Korean Choir will perform.

Renaissance Faire characters will walk around during Art in the Park and attendees will be able to sign up for the Renaissance Faire newsletter and enter for a chance to win tickets to the event in the fall.

Art in the Park is part of the Nickel Plate Arts Festival, which is a month-long series of events taking place in several communities around Fishers and Hamilton County. Check out the schedule at www. nickelplatearts.org to find other creative, artistic events that offer summertime fun.

Fishers residents attend public forum to give input into Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. (Submitted photo)

Master Plan takes shape

By Sarah Stoesz • news@currentinfishers.com The Town of Fishers has been working on a Fishers Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan for several months now and the planning final plan is scheduled to be completed in July.

On May 14, a second community forum for the master plan was held at Launch Fishers in the basement of the Fisher’s Public Library. About 50 people showed up to the forum, according to Sue Harrison, Senior Planner for Community Development.

“I think the encouraging thing was it was a nice cross section of people,” Harrison said.

“There were people who were avid triathletes that are training out there on their bikes or running. We had families with young children and sort of everything in between. A real nice span of recreational riders and athletes and some commuters who like to commute to their jobs on their bikes.”

The forum highlighted findings collected during the public comment period. For about a month, people were able to use a wiki-map to draw desired routes. A couple hundred people used the wiki-map, Harrison said.

A proposed route map was shown at the forum and people were able to give feedback. Maps were

placed around the room. People were given the opportunity to identify gaps in the system.

The feedback at the second community forum will be used to finalize the Master Plan. The plan was started in February and in July it will become policy for the town. The actions proposed in the plan will be completed by 2040. However, changes will continue to be made after July, Harrison said.

“We will revisit the plan over the years, too,” she said. “We won’t just etch it all in stone this year and then never look at it again until 2040 because it’s our best estimate of where we should go but as unexpected development occurs, and as growth occurs faster or slower we will have to fine tune it maybe every five years or so.”

The Master Plan aims to increase the safety and mobility of residents as they bike and walk through the community. However, the plan will need to do more than just map out routes, Harrison said.

“In terms of implementing the plan, it is going to be really important to educate drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians about how to share the road and get them comfortable with coexisting in harmony,” she said.

Feedback on the Master Plan is still being accepted. A form is available on www.fishers.in.us to provide feedback.

Fiber art comes to Town Hall

By Mackenzie Klahr • news@currentinfishers.com Art in Town Hall is a regular event held at the Town Hall in Fishers that serves the community through public art and visual public art celebration. The latest exhibit, the Flights of Spirit, displays a new kind of medium gracing its walls.

Created by local textile artist Judy Ireland, the exhibit will be on display until June 27 and is put on by the Fishers Parks Department along with the Town of Fishers. It is formally titled “Flight of Spirit: Journeys Real and Imagined Textile and Quilted Art Exhibit” and marks one full year that the two groups have collaborated in the public art event.

Dan Domsic, the community Engagement and Volunteer Coordinator for the parks department says he did not know much about textile and quilted art before the pieces were installed.

“I wasn’t familiar with her particular medium of art,” Domsic said. “It will be great for kids to see that you can create many things in different ways and creativity comes in many forms.”

Ireland recently took a trip to Greece and much of her work on display reflects her trip, such as her piece entitled the “Philippian Leaf.”

The tactic Ireland employs is change; she layers various mediums on the fabric by hand in the effort to make something new and unique.

Fiber art is a common form of art in parts of the country, although Ireland has not seen much of it in Fishers. Two quilting stores she especially likes are Quilt Expressions at the corner of Ind.

37 and 126th Street and Always in Stitches in Noblesville.

“Plain quilting is a billion dollar business in this country and this is kind of a subset of that,” Ireland said.

A fan of color, Ireland learns towards energy and brightness in her work. Domsic believes the art really pops, “I would call it an explosion of vibrant color; it is absolutely bright and brings a lot of character to the walls.”

Lisa Vielee, who has been the original manager of the Art in Town Hall since it began in 2012, says the exhibits work to highlight local artists that live in Fishers. All but two have had connections to the city.

The next event hosted by the parks department and town will be entitled “Flava Fresh!” and will possibly be a compilation of various groups working with different types of mediums.

Wieners for wieners

By Karen Kennedy • karenk@youarecurrent.com Lovers of both kinds of dogs (the ones who sleep at our feet and the ones that go nicely on a bun with relish) came out to support some poor puppies that were rescued by a Noblesville woman and her family this past month.

Maggie Lynn Held, of Noblesville, discovered and reported a puppy mill in which the pups were living in deplorable conditions. 70 dogs were removed from the home. Held and her friends and family wanted to do something to help raise money for the pups’ care. She

approached Paul Barrows, also a Noblesville resident, and owner of DJ’s Big City Hotdogs.

They came up with the “Wieners for Wieners” campaign, which raised nearly $1000 to aid in the care efforts of these dogs.

“I thought of DJ’s immediately,” said Held. “And they were totally on board. All three of their stores, 96th Street, downtown and Avon, participated.

“Everyone loves dogs, myself included,” said Barrows. “I have two of them at home! We do everything we can to give back to our community.

We’re doing a fundraiser for the Make-a-Wish Foundation next.”

Commentary by Larry Lannan

I hate to say I told you so. In this case, I am saying I told you so. It’s all about this year’s primary election.

Elections The voter turnout was low – as in very low. In Fishers, the percentage of registered voters casting ballots was 15-16 percent. In Hamilton County, the turnout was closer to 12 percent.

Any way you look at it, the turnout was disappointing.

Here’s the biggest impact of this on you, the nonvoter. There were many close elections. What you nonvoters have done is place a tremendous amount of political power in the hands of those who chose to vote.

This is especially true in close races. We had plenty of close races in the Fishers 2014 city election.

A good deal of attention has been paid to the mayor’s race. No doubt, it was much closer than most had expected. Scott Fadness defeated Walt Kelly by only 393 votes. That’s only about a 4 percent winning margin for Fadness.

It was in the city council races where those choosing to vote made a real difference. The tightest contest was in the Northwest District, where Selina Stoller defeated Mike Colby by 12 votes. She won by a 0.78 percent margin.

In the Northeast District, Stuart Easley defeated the second-place candidate, Brad

Tamara Dickerson, MD Brian Aguilar, MD Board Certified Pediatricians

9

DeReamer, by a mere 25 votes. That’s a 1.62 percent winning margin.

The at-large council race had six candidates, with the top three winning nominations. The third-best vote getter was Rich Block, who defeated the fourth place candidate Jeff Heinzmann by 69 votes. That’s a winning percentage of 0.31 percent (remember, each voter could choose three candidates, so a lot more votes were cast in this race).

Here’s how the nonvoters really lose. If 13 people had voted for Mike Colby in the Northwest Council District and Selina Stoller had the same number of votes, Mike Colby would have won the nomination for that council district. If 26 people had voted for DeReamer and Stuart Easley had received the same number of votes, DeReamer would be the Republican nominee.

You nonvoters lose again. In a Democracy, we are the government. We select our government officials at every level, from the president of the United States down to our mayor, city council and city clerk.

I really do hate to say I told you so. Think about that as the next election looms in November.

96th Street

Area in red is subject of rezoning request.

Rezoning debated, again

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com

Emotions were on display at the Fishers Town Council meeting May 19 when the issue of rezoning the northeast corner of 96th Street and Mollenkopf Road came up for rezoning consideration again.

The rezoning request, which has been presented in the past and withdrawn, was recently refiled to include two more properties. Now there are a total of 11 properties involved in the request to be rezoned for commercial use.

In April, the Planning Commission considered the rezoning request and gave it a unanimous negative recommendation. The ultimate decision, however, will be made by the Town Council.

It was a full house at the May 19 meeting when two people, one of them the original petitioner, Randy Campbell, spoke in favor of the rezoning and eleven people spoke against it.

After the public hearing portion of the meeting ended, Town Councilman Scott Faultless commented that if rezoning requests had always been turned down, most of the people in Fishers today would not be here. He also cited the area of 116th and Olio as an example of negative public input over rezoning. Faultless asked Planning Commis-

sion staffers whether traffic projections had been conducted and if any studies had been made as to why space to the west of the area in question has remained empty for long periods of time.

Staffers replied that no such studies had been conducted. He then asked if anyone denies that the petitioners have been harmed by the increase of traffic along 96th Street. When not allowed to respond, several members of the public left the meeting, loudly slamming the door behind them.

The other council members who were present expressed a desire, along with Faultless, to find a solution to the problem. Councilman Mike Colby, Council Vice President Pete Peterson and Council President John Weingardt all expressed concern for the petitioning parties and indicated that they felt that a problem exists that needs to be resolved. However, the three all stated that they did not feel the current rezoning request was the answer. All expressed optimism that a solution could be found.

The rezoning request will have a third reading at the June 2 meeting of the Town Council.

In other council action, contracts with INDOT were approved that would move the process forward for roundabouts at 96th and Lantern Road and at 106th and Cumberland Road. Funding for those projects comes mostly from federal funds.

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Hamilton Southeastern High School senior Rachel Brown has a long list of accomplishments but her greatest has been achievement that she has found that the greatest value in volunteerism and in everyday life is in the helping of people.

“While connecting with someone, your small actions and attitudes of life can reshape someone’s world and demonstrates that whether you are aware of it or not, your actions made a difference,” she said. “I like to connect with other people more than anything else.”

On May 12, Brown was selected as the winner of the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs Youth Service Award for 2014 – beating out six other seniors from across the county.

“I feel very humbled,” she said. “With the amount of time (required) there is no room for complacency. I try to fit in as much as I can.”

Brown is president of the school’s Students Against Destructive Decisions program, vice president of her class and a member of the principal’s advisory council. She is a student mentor and a small-group leader at her church. Brown is the captain of the schools soccer team and a member of the National Honor Society.

“Rachel is an outstanding young lady and her leadership role has done much to encourage Hamilton Southeastern students to make positive choices against drugs and alcohol. Rachel is serious about every part of life and is vale-

dictorian of her class and truly a positive and impressive leader,” Robert Cutter, Brown’s school counselor, said.

Brown is a Cox Research Scholar and will attend Indiana University in the fall. She plans to major in neuroscience and wants to become a doctor.

The Fishers High School nominee was Kelsey Buckley, who was unable to attend the ceremony.

Buckley is a member of the FHS Band and is very active in her church, teaching the first- to sixth-graders in the Vacation Bible School, and teaching the fourth grade religious education class each Sunday throughout the year. She also is a member of the Fishers Faithful Feet club, a dance ministry that promotes a drug-free lifestyle.

In her application, Buckley wrote that her greatest accomplishment has been her participation in the Cadet Teaching Program as her goal is to become a teacher. She has been at New Britton Elementary School and works with a fourth grade class. Buckley writes that getting the opportunity to student teach has been a wonderful experience especially when students much younger than her ask questions about the D.A.R.E. program and pressures of high school.

Kelsey’s school counselor stated that she has taken the initiative and participates in several activities that allow her to guide younger students in living a healthier lifestyle. She is realistic about outside influences and maintains the strengths of her values and beliefs.

Lessons from kindergarten

Commentary by Heather Kestian

The end of kindergarten is drawing near and as my soon-to-be first grader is preparing for next year, we are looking Plain talk back on this year and the things we have learned. We had some momentous lessons this year. In my humble opinion, here is the list of the best kindergarten lessons.

1. It is always good to stand up for yourself and your friends. My sweet child, I will never be upset when you stand up for yourself and protect your friends. I will, however, hope that it never becomes physical.

2. Words are an incredible source of power, choose them wisely.

3. Teachers are underpaid. I do not know how much they make, but it is not enough.

4. Doing the right thing is hard and often unpopular. When others are shouting to do something that you know is wrong, I am proud, my little one, that you said to not do it. Even when you are the only one, please never be afraid to be that one. We need more people who look at a situation, think about the consequences, and shout “that is not right.” Keep thinking. Keep speaking.

5. If what you are doing is not working, you are obligated to change whatever it is that you are doing. Do not expect different re-

sults from doing the same thing, over and over. You are far smarter.

6. Your parents think you are amazing, my dear child. However, not everyone will think you are amazing and that is fine. You have learned, albeit it took a while, that you are not defined by what other people think of you.

7. Choose your friends well and be good to them. They will stay with you if you let them. If you are really lucky, they will spend the rest of your life being your buddy.

8. Math and science rock. So does physical education. And recess.

9. You will always remember your kindergarten teacher. You cannot marry her, and I know that is a disappointment. However, she will always be kind, and wonderful, and you will miss her. Always say hello to her in the hallway because she helped mold you into a wonderful reader and budding mathematician.

10. You now know your mother’s phone number. You officially have no reason to not call her when you need her.

Fishers man bikes 2,730 miles on coast-to-coast trip

By Ann Craig-Cinnamon • ann@youarecurrent.com We hear the phrase “bucket list” tossed around a lot these days. People have all kinds of things they want to see or do before they die. It might be to visit an cover story iconic site somewhere in the world, or perhaps it’s attending baseball games in every Major League ballpark, or maybe it’s to run the New York Marathon. For Ken Shearer of Fishers, it was biking on a coast-to-coast cycling trip.

Biking is not unusual for Shearer. He’s been doing it for more than 40 years. And not just short rides around the neighborhood like most people either – he rides 30 or 40 miles a day, all year long if the weather permits.

“It was a health thing partly. I was also a runner until about 10 years ago. I kind of did biking and running alternately. I ran the mini numerous times. I ran a marathon over in Terre Haute three times back in the ’80s. Then I just got into the bicycling,” he says.

Shearer, a retired engineer, bought his first real bicycle in 1972 and rode it for 30 years before deciding to trade it in for something lighter.

He eventually wound up building his own bike.

His first long, organized cycling event was a week-long camping ride in Iowa which he participated in for seven years. After that came rides in Wisconsin, Utah and a rural Indiana route.

And then he was inspired to go even further. He read about a middle school teacher in Los Angeles who got five of his students to do a coast-to-coast ride with him starting in Washington,

Alpine, Calif.

D.C. It was a grueling ride because they carried their own gear and did their own camping and cooking.

“And they were a bunch of middle school students,” says Shearer, who adds, “I thought I’d at least like to try something like that before I go.”

He found lots of choices online but many involved the ride participants doing their own shopping, cooking and camping after a long day of cycling. So Shearer settled on a group called “Bubba’s Pampered Pedalers” who do that work for their riders which allows them to just concentrate on the ride.

So, on March 8 of this year, at the age of 72, Shearer set off for San Diego where he joined up with 41 other riders for a seven-week-long biking adventure that led them through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida – ending in St. Augustine on April 28.

Shearer averaged 64 miles per day on his bike. “I only go about 12 to 13 miles an hour. A lot of the people on the tour who have done an awful lot of long, long touring ride much Casa Grande, Ariz. faster. So I was kind of Tombstone, Ariz. bringing up the rear in a El Paso, Texas

lot of cases. Then they’d party around. I’m not as much of a partier. I enjoy people but I don’t like to just sit around and drink; not that they were obnoxious or anything,” he says.

Along the way, he and about 70 percent of the riders came down with a noro-virus that put him out of commission for a couple of days. But it didn’t dampen his enthusiasm for the ride.

There was one thing that stands out to him about the trip.

“The people I rode with. The people in the group came from a variety of backgrounds – two countries in addition to the U.S. There was a couple from the Netherlands that came over just to do this. And there was a fella from British Columbia who recently finished a ride from St. Petersburg, Russia to Lisbon,” says Shearer.

He takes his accomplishment in stride.

“People say ‘boy, you’re really something; you can do a cross country’. But let me tell you, after about the first third of the ride it became very routine. It’s like it’s what you do. You get up in the morning, eat and get on your bike, finish, eat again and go to bed. So you don’t even think about it. Of course, it’s more attractive than that because you’re seeing all sorts of Dauphin Island, Ala.

different things,” he says and adds “the nice thing about bicycling is that you get a lot closer to things than you can in a car.”

For those of you who need inspiration, Shearer wasn’t the oldest on his bike trip either.

There were two 75 year olds and the youngest rider was 56. The most important thing that he got out of the trip, he says, was knowing that he could do it.

“I had grave doubts. It was a bucket list thing,” he said. “I kept thinking: could I really do it? So this proved to me that I could. Just keep plodding along.”

You may help name town park Parks enthusiasts, the town is open to your help. Fishers officials are inviting residents to help name the new town park at 101st Street and Cyntheanne Road. Construction began this spring on the facility that will be available for community use year-round. So, take this opportunity to have a say! Through June 6, any resident of any age may make suggestions by completing a form at www.fishers.in.us. Town staff will select the top five names and, from June 16-20, residents will be asked to vote on their top choice for the future park. “The facility promises opportunities for residents of all ages to enjoy outdoor recreation,” Fishers Parks & Recreation’s Director, Tony Elliot stated. “It is important that residents have an opportunity to get involved and name a location that will surely become a favorite destination for all residents to play in our community.”

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Trend bender Commentary by Terry Anker The world of that which is hip, cool, in-style or otherwise fashionable is slowly slipping from the realm of my comprehension. Maybe it is simply because I am the father of two teenage sons. Maybe it is because I spend a lot more time these days reading balance sheets than GQ. Maybe it is just because the calendar is catching up with me. Regardless of the genesis, my expectation of what might be a particularly stylish, edgy or alternative is woefully overrated. While my kids and their friends are kind enough, politely pointing out the error in my understanding of current pop culture, I know that these matters are no longer in my dominion. And maybe they shouldn’t be.

A well-meaning jokester sent around by Twitter a witticism-of-the-day. We used to do this via facsimile sending blurry images but now it is via a link to a YouTube video. This was of a young man in a car being all-too-excited by a

song on the radio. I laughed at what I thought was the point of the humor – the youngster had not shown restraint in hearing the popular music – but I was way off target. The joke, it seems, was that this kid was enjoying the radio instead of playing what was abundantly obviously his favorite song on his phone or iPod or whatever device. How barbaric is it to wait for a disc jockey to spin the album?

What else do I imagine as classic which others see as hopefully out of style? Hotels used to emulate ancient Tuscan villas. Now they all claim to be modern spas. Is any of it real? Does it matter? Even as trends bend and styles wane, one is reminded that cool is an imagined construct.

Doesn’t knowing this secret ensure our hipness?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K “A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.”

– Bob Dylan

It’s funny how sometimes just a little thing can completely change your mood. Take my Mother’s Day weekend, humor for example. Saturday began poorly, as I had to endure eight hours of dance hell in the bowels of Lucas Oil Stadium while my youngest competed for a total of nine minutes. On the drive home, my husband compounded my misery by telling me he wouldn’t be returning from out of town that night as planned, but rather the following morning. He was having such a good time with everyone he didn’t want the fun to end! Never mind that Sunday was supposed to be my day, the one all year where I am to be pampered and loved. Even with the promise of a DQ turtle sundae, I was extremely frustrated by the time I pulled into my driveway.

Then I discovered that while I was eating over-priced popcorn and judging other dance moms, my younger son and his best friend had literally disappeared. Reports (and his lowjacked phone) had them at Clay Terrace, three miles from our house. This was weird, as they had already walked there earlier in the day.

My calls of course went unanswered. Hoping he was either in a store or actively riding his bike, I took a self-imposed time-out to watch a DVRed Glee episode and cloak my bitterness in hot fudge and caramel. By 8:15 though, and with only forty-five minutes until said friend was to be picked up, concern (and darkness) set in.

I knew nothing bad had happened, but very quickly every worst-case scenario I could imagine was becoming a genuine possibility in my head. Angry with my spouse, exhausted from the dance competition, and entertaining thoughts of Amber Alerts and ER runs, I headed off muttering Hail Marys and curses in quick succession.

Halfway to the mall I found my 12-year-old, red-faced and laughing, peddling his little heart out down the sidewalk. Relief flooded through me, followed by a huge grin. Trailing his bike were a dozen purple and white balloons, ribbons and all it took but minutes once back home to understand the balloons weren’t for me though, as high-pitched giggles came echoing up the basement stairwell. These two tween-age boys had spent their entire Saturday plotting to acquire helium for the chance to talk like Looney Toons characters!

And that, my friends, completely changed my outlook. As a mother, seeing pure joy on the face of one of your children is the best remedy for a crappy day. Peace out.

I love juice. All kinds of juice. We bought one of those expensive juicers – so every morning I stick in a banana, half an apple, humor some grapes and a pear. Then I push the button and bingo: a banana, half an apple, some grapes and a pear. No juice; more like a still-life painting (with a whirring sound in the background). Any clue what I did wrong?

By the way, don’t confuse me with the 85-year-old guy on TV who hawks his own juice maker. He says that because he drinks juice every day, he has just fathered triplets. This was not a motivating factor for me to drink juice. In fact, I’m going to lay off the juice starting when I’m 83. I’m not taking any chances. And even though my wife will be 79 then, I’m taking the V-8 away from her, also.

My long association with juice has made me a keen observer of some conundrums, juicy little tidbits about this healthful food source.

1. Why is there no raisin juice? There is prune juice, which is from dried up plums.

Why not raisin juice? If you can squeeze a prune, why can’t you squeeze a raisin?

2. Prune juice is actually plum juice. You can’t get juice from a prune. I don’t care what I said in the last point. They call it prune juice so seniors will buy it.

3. Apple juice contains 100 percent of your daily requirement of Vitamin C, but apple cider has no Vitamin C. Where did the Vita-

min C go?

4. If vegetable juice is fat free, why is vegetable oil 100 percent fat? I’ve been asking that question for 10 years and still haven’t gotten an answer I like.

5. Why is there no cantaloupe juice? Cantaloupes are just waiting to be squeezed.

They are full of juice. But it’s cruel and inhuman, like not milking a cow.

6. Does white grape juice stain like red grape juice, but you just can’t see the stain? (This will keep you up all night, so don’t think about it too much.)

7. Why does orange juice in a can taste like grapefruit juice? Trust me, it does.

8. Why can’t I get grape juice with pulp?

9. Why did lemonade become such a hit? Who handled the PR for limeade, anyway?

10. If orange juice is 100 percent juice, then what is concentrate? Maybe 500 percent juice?

11. Some orange juice has no pulp. I like pulp.

What did they do with the pulp? Did they throw it out? I wouldn’t mind buying some extra pulp. I’d put it in my grape juice.

12. Why is all grape juice from concentrate?

You can buy fresh orange juice, and fresh grapefruit juice, but no fresh grape juice.

Are you fed up with Washington? If not, and you think things are fine, then keep doing what you’re doing – voting Republican, opinion Democrat or just not voting at all. Then nothing will change – except, of course, the deficit will continue to rise (your portion is only $55,000, or $220,000 for a family of four) and federal agencies will continue to encroach on your freedom (for your own good, they say).

But if you are concerned about where America is headed and think we need to change direction, then you need to change direction. Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Republicans, if you keep voting Republican, and Democrats, if you keep voting Democrat, and non-voters, if you keep not voting, don’t expect different results. If you don’t change, Washington won’t change.

I used to be a Republican because I thought they were the party of small government. But then I discovered that Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives, where spending bills must originate, for 14 of the past 18

years, and our deficit grew from less than $5 trillion to more than $17 trillion. Four of those years, they controlled not only the House, but also the Senate and the White House, and the deficit still increased $2.2 trillion. Republicans say they’re for small government, but their actions speak otherwise.

I’ve changed. I joined the Libertarian Party. Libertarians truly believe in individual freedom, free enterprise and small, limited government – only large enough to protect us and our property from those who would use force to harm us, yet small enough not to overstep its authority.

The Libertarian Party has selected me to be on the November ballot for Indiana’s fifth congressional district. If you agree with me that we need to change direction, please take a look at my website, www.kromforcongress.com.

Our future, our children’s future and our grandchildren’s future depend on your getting involved!

Teenage vocal sensation comes to The Palladium Jackie Evancho, discovered on ‘America’s Got Talent’ at age 10, will sing classical songs

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com In some ways, Jackie Evancho is your average 14-year-old. Right now, she’s studying for her finals as the school year comes to a close. She is about to take her Keystone Exams – Pennsylvania’s stanmusic dardized test, just like Indiana’s ISTEP exams. She likes to go to movies with her friends, play with her four dogs and go to church with her family every Sunday.

But she also performed in front of President Obama at the lighting of the White House Christmas Tree and she has acted in a film with Robert Redford.

And with her 2010 release, Evancho became the youngest solo artist in history to go platinum.

Ever since she sang on “America’s Got Talent” at age 10, Evancho has been touring the country and filling concert halls. She hits the notes throughout the scales and sings with a precise skill comparable to trained vocalists who have studied for decades.

Evancho will bring her warm soprano voice to the Palladium on June 1.

She’s performing a weekend show because her parents try to limit her performances on weekdays. After learning through online school for years as she toured, Evancho said she started back up in public school in January. Now her parents want her to have time to be a normal teenager.

“My parents don’t have to overload my schedule because they do want me to have time at home and be a normal kid,” she said.

Of course, when you spend your weekends singing to thousands of people, it’s hard to blend in. Evancho said it’s nice to make new friends, but sometimes it can be, “annoying because there is always the middle school drama now.”

There’s the typical teenage drama of girls being jealous of other girls.

But Evancho said she’s grateful to meet people who like her for who she is, not because she has released four albums. And to those that might prejudge her, it’s their loss, she said.

“People won’t give me the time of day to know me. That’s why I have such few friends, but the friends I do have are really good friends,” she said. “I’m really happy with the friends I have. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

As she’s gotten older, Evancho said she’s received a lot more responsibility and she really enjoys taking charge of her career. She loves working with charities such as the Humane Society and traveling the country, but she eschews the celebrity attitude and lifestyle. To her, the reason she loves the job is because she loves to perform. Ever since she watched the movie version of “The Phantom of the Opera,” she said she wanted to sing on stage. And when she performs, everything else melts away.

“When I’m on stage, I don’t actually think of anything,” she said. “That’s why I say the music possesses me. I sometimes don’t even remember what happened.”

She’s got a lot on her plate, but Evancho said the busy schedule never

Senior Citizens Organization open to all editorial@youarecurrent.com

Serving all of Hamilton County, Senior Citizens Organization is a social group open to anyone who would like to join, however, members must be at least 55 to vote in the general business meeting and to hold an office.

The goal of the center is to give members a place to meet for fun and fellowship. It also provides the elderly with information, service and referrals to local agencies and their ser-

vices. Senior Citizens Organization offers card games, Bingo, beginning line dancing, dominos, exercise, Wii bowling, ping pong, pinochle, puzzles, knitting circles and a pool table.

The center, which is located across the street from Noblesville High School at 18336 Cumberland Rd., is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Senior Citizens Organization, a 501(c)(3) charity, is a self-supporting organization founded in September 1977 and incorporated in 1978. For more information, call 773-6904 or visit www.seniorcitizensorg.org.

The Westfield Parks Dept. has created a new monthly program for ages 50 and older to get out and meet new diversion people.

“Bingo Brunch is a program that came from requests by certain community members. They reached out suggesting a place they could do some activity, meet new friends and play games,” said Brittany Goger, recreation program coordinator. “By offering this program we reach out directly to the senior community.”

Goger said Bingo Brunch also provides the Westfield Parks Programming Facility, 330 East Main St., to be used for more activities.

“We get people in there and utilize it for what it was really built for,” she said. “It’s a good opportunity for a lot of different people.”

Dates for the first three programs are June 4, July 9 and Aug. 6. Each event runs 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Goger said the program begins with food and time to socialize and

is followed by an hour of Bingo with prizes.

“We will play seven rounds of Bingo with a cover-all to end the event,” she said.

The first brunch on June 4 will be catered by Chick-fil-A, but Goger said different food selections will be offered at each event.

“We’ll have a different theme for each one so hopefully they’ll keep coming back,” she said.

Cost is $10 per person, per program and covers food and activities.

Goger said the first three events are sponsored by Magnolia Springs at Bridgewater.

“We’re reaching out to different businesses to partner with us to donate prizes in gift cards,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for them to get their name out and new people in their stores.”

Those interested in participating in the Bingo Brunch can register by visiting www.westfield.in.gov/ department/?structureid=128 or calling 804-3183. Goger said registrations also can be made in person at the City Service Center, 2728 E. 171st St.

You now have quick, convenient access to the care you need.

The hearing aid industry has historically focused on low price offers to attract patients.

Advertising attempts to generhearing ate interest with small, low cost products that sometimes leaves the impression that their product will work for everyone. The reality is that this advertising works for the existing hearing aid wearer looking for the ability to hear better than their current aids allow, or hoping to avoid the high cost to replace quality hearing aids.

So what attracts the first time hearing aid patient? Education at a local level is likely the most effective means of helping people recognize some of the causes and effects of hearing loss. There is strong and growing evidence that hearing loss can have a detrimental impact on many other health concerns. In a changing health environment, it is more important than ever to address cost efficient options. Treatment for hearing loss can be one such cost effective option.

But why do today’s baby boomers, one of the healthiest and most vibrant demographics in history, fail to recognize their loss and neglect the frustration from loved ones and co-workers that are forced to live with their loss?

5 STEPS TO HEARING BETTER WITH HEARING AIDS 1. One must first acknowledge their hearing loss 2. Make a personal choice to achieve better hearing with a good attitude

3. Get a hearing test and understand your hearing loss and potential health impacts 4. Establish realistic expectations 5. Practice, time and patience with your new hearing aids, and you will soon enjoy what you can now hear again For me, steps one and two came after several years of frustration by those around me and what had become an automatic “what” response numerous times a day. Then I made a decision to move to step three and the intriguing education of how most of us consistently ignore one of the five senses our brain uses every day to fully function. Once I fully understood the potential health issues as well as what my audiogram told me about my hearing loss, the remaining steps became much easier. As an active 58-year-old, I wanted to stay that way and not allow my brain to be deprived of better hearing. For me, I was pleasantly surprised from the initial expectation I had regarding hearing aids. The technical capability and clarity was like normal hearing.

The size and lightness of the hearing aid was a surprise as well. I have to admit that having others know I was a hearing aid wearer did not really concern me.

While dieting and exercising help our bodies stay in shape, addressing your hearing loss will help your mind to stay in shape.

Homes prices see dramatic rise Commentary by Jim Litten

With average central Indiana home prices reaching $165,238 in April 2014, home sales prices are up 8.2 percent comReal estate pared to April 2013.

Seven of the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks experienced slightly higher home sales prices in the first four months of 2014 compared to the same time period last year.

Hamilton County was one of the areas that saw improvements with a 10.4 percent increase bringing the average price to $260,670, year-to-date.

• In Fishers, the overall average sales price rose by 12.4 percent to $248,218 from $220,764 compared to the same time period last year.

• Of the pended home sales in Fishers last month, nine were priced $500,000 to $1 million; 29 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 50 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 88 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

• Prospective homebuyers in Fishers have more homes from which to choose. Last month, there were 584 homes available for sale, while there were 545 homes on the market April 2013.

• Homes in Fishers are selling at a slightly faster pace. So far this year, homes have stayed on the market an average of 74 days compared to 83 days last year.

• Home sales have been slow to thaw from the harsh winter conditions. In April 2014, 177 homes in Fishers sold, which is a decrease of 79 homes compared to April of last year.

While we would have expected to see sales increase, given the low interest rates, it’s difficult to directly compare last month’s home sales against April 2013. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison because April 2013’s sales were the highest we’ve seen in central Indiana.

The partnership will be called Tucker Shepherd Insurance. “I’ve known the good people at Shepherd Insurance for many years, so it was an easy decision to offer their services to our customers,” said Jim Litten, president and CEO of F.C. Tucker. “This relationship allows Tucker to solidify one-stop shopping for our clients.” Shepherd found F.C. Tucker’s service ethic key to its choice in aligning with Indiana’s leading independent real estate company.

“Tucker has always stood out for its client service and ability to connect its customers with the best service providers,” said David Shepherd, owner and CEO of Shepherd Insurance. “This is a perfect fit for us.”

Layoffs at Carmel company Carmel-based search company ChaCha laid off more than half its employees. ChaCha CEO and Carmel resident Scott Jones has said that the company downsized from 44 to 16 employees following upheaval in one of its online ad sales divisions. The division known as Social Reactor was critically hurt when Google deployed a new algorithm for determining advertising rates. The move cut Social Reactor’s Google ad rates by almost 80 percent, Jones confirmed.

Temple Wall at Edfu. (Photo by Don Knebel)

The ark or Edfu Commentary by Don Knebel People have long speculated about the fate of the Ark of the Covenant the Bible says the Israelites carried during their Exodus travel from Egypt. Although of no help on that question, a well-preserved Egyptian temple may provide clues about the origins of that famous box.

The Temple of Edfu was built by the Greek rulers of Egypt beginning in the third century B.C. to honor Horus, the falcon god of the sky. Following the model of much earlier temples, a small statue of Horus resided in a niche in the temple’s Holy of Holies, accessible only by the pharaoh and the high priest. Priests occasionally transported the god statue away from the temple in an ark (box) resting in a miniature boat carried on two poles.

A replica of the ark now displayed in the Holy of Holies is based on a wall relief showing the ark with its poles sitting on a pedestal in a boat floating on the Nile. Two bird-like creatures face each other above the ark, their wings extending over the seat on which Horus sat.

So what does Edfu’s ark of Horus have to do with the Ark of the Covenant? According to the

Bible, the Ark of the Covenant, enthroning the invisible Jewish God, was carried on two poles attached by rings to the base. The Ark incorporated two “cherubim” facing each other, their wings extending over the “mercy seat” from which God spoke. When the Israelites built their Temple in Jerusalem, they ensconced the Ark in its Holy of Holies, which the Jewish High Priest entered once each year. Jewish soldiers carried God in the Ark as they went to battle the Philistines.

The Temple of Edfu was built following the Exodus. So the ark of Horus might have drawn on descriptions of the Ark of the Covenant. The striking resemblances could be coincidental.

However, temples erected before the Exodus contain similar, less-well-preserved, images of arks transporting Egyptian gods. It seems likely that the Israelites, as they left Egypt, carried their invisible God in an ark similar to the ones with which they were familiar.

After 15 years: Master bath design with resale in mind Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING BATHROOM: The owners of this home, located in Southport, had lived with their early ’90s master blueprint for bathroom for 15 years. improvement “Knowing that we will someday sell the house, we knew the bathroom would deter people from purchasing the home. We decided we might as well have the work done now so we can enjoy it until moving day comes.”

BATHROOM DESIGN ELEMENTS: “Switching out the hunter green for a clutter-free and Asian-inspired design were the main goals for our master bathroom.” To achieve this look, several components were added. To separate the tub and shower area from the rest of the bathroom, black pebble tile was installed as a shower accent wall and for the shower and tub floor. Eastern Blanco wall tile with standard white grout was chosen to compliment the black pebble tile giving the area the “sleek look” the homeowners had envisioned.

FREE-STANDING TUB: To add to the Asian-inspired look, the homeowners selected a Victoria + Albert free-standing tub. Not only is the tub designed to fit in a smaller space, but the material itself is made of finely ground volcanic limestone called “Quarrycast” – making it lightweight, warm to the touch and easy to clean.

CUSTOM VANITY & COUNTERTOP: Designed for functionality, the custom double vanity not

before & after

RESULT: All elements came together to give the homeowners the Asian-inspired bathroom of their dreams. “The tub is our favorite part of the whole bathroom. We love the clean lines and the angles of the tub. It is the perfect spot to relax after a long day.”

only provides extra storage space, but it also was designed to keep the countertop clutter-free. Two full-extension drawer stacks installed on the outsides of the base cabinetry give ample storage space for toiletries and other bathroom supplies. Elevated tower cabinets installed on the outsides of the Corian countertop are perfect for hiding electrical outlets and cords.

Because the homeowners did not like wall-mounted lighting, a custom bulkhead with matching crown was built to house the recessed lighting directly above the vanity. To complete the look, brushed satin nickel cabinet hardware and plumbing fixtures were installed.
