An appreciation for a beautiful culture Editor’s note: Cadence Baugh is a Fishers resident and an undergraduate student at Indiana University. Baugh received a Fulbright Scholarship to study in China last semester and was required to write an account of the experience.

By Cadence Baugh • news@currentinfishers.com My four-month adventure living in the heart of Beijing, China, at Minzu University began during the blistering cold days in mid-Jancommentary uary. I was to spend my time hammering away at textbooks and absorbing culture and history at ACC’s intensive Mandarin Chinese program. With this being my first time in China, it felt like I had ventured into a whole different world.

Unlike the sunny and lushly green suburbs of Indy, I was thrust into a world of steely industrial buildings and pollution as dense as fog. With a population 20 times bigger than that of Indy, I was perplexed by all the bustling activity and heavy traffic, especially traveling through the subway system at rush hour where people were packed like sardines.

Many amazing sites and experiences became endearing to me. It wasn’t uncommon to see old men practicing calligraphy with human-sized brushes on the sidewalk, clusters of people practicing Taichi in parks, and happening upon a 5-star Pizza Hut. I

learned the tricks of haggling, which was necessary for all shopping purposes, and had to acclimate myself to the ubiquitous squat toilets. At the time, Chinese New Year had passed. There was not a place in the city that wasn’t strewn with colorful red lanterns and bursting firecrackers.

Nevertheless, there was not one thing I loved more than the food. Most places were traditional “mom and pop” places, serving only the homemade stuff. Besides American fast-food restaurants, you would seldom find chains. Meals always were family style with large banquets of succulent Beijing duck, hot pot, dumplings, steamed buns and eggplant, but never could I pass up a spicy omelet from a street vendor.

My days off from class often consisted of touring some of Beijing’s historical sites. With a history as rich as China’s, there was no lack of sites to see. In places like Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, I could tread on grounds where warriors, emperors and party leaders alike had stood before.

One important thing I realized from this experience was that I knew very little about Chinese history because it wasn’t a topic often covered in classes back home. I hope that in the future, more people in the United States, will have more opportunities to better understand and appreciate this beautiful culture and its wonderful people.

Fishers Town Council

Bad Credit • Bankruptcy • Divorce • Slow Pay WE CAN HELP! 317-733-6032

The council approved a resolution that allows a funds transfer to INDOT What it means: This was yet another step in the process for funding the interchange project at I-69 and 106th Street. The project is being made possible through the Town of Fishers, Hamilton County and INDOT. Town Manager Scott Fadness said the town’s overall financial contribution will be $8 million.

He later said in an interview that the town already has paid INDOT $1 million to get the design process started and will pay another $9 million for the project, including the county’s tab of $2 million, which will be reimbursed to Fishers in the 2014 fiscal year. That leaves the state to fund the remainder of the project, which he said at the meeting will cost in the range of $30 million.

What’s next: According to Tim Gropp, asst. director of economic development, this was the last public step regarding the bonds, which are planned to close on June 20. The bonds will close, and the town will be able to pay INDOT.

The council discussed the construction of a “pocket park” in downtown Fishers during the work session What it means: The town has devised a plan to construct a small park in a lot nearby Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream & Yogurt, 8760 E. 116th St. The project would cost $50,000, not including the value of some donated materials. According to Rachel Johnson, asst. director of planning, the project utilizes $35,000 worth of reusable materials, including specific pieces that can be picked up and moved to a new location if need be. The park is planned to be a temporary fixture downtown, lasting three to five years. There were questions about a fence that was taken down, as there is a property owner still living adjacent to the space. Councilor Scott Faultless questioned spending the money on a temporary park, as well as on a privacy fence that would make it easier for a property owner to reside there when the town wants to buy the property. Fadness said in a later interview that the town is going to rebuild the fence, regardless of whether it was owned by the town or the adjacent property owner.

What’s next: This is a Redevelopment Commission funded project.

The town is going to start collecting quotes and bids. On June 5, Fadness said construction should be expected within 30 days.

If the project comes in under $50,000, Fadness can authorize it on his own.

A fun-to-watch political story Commentary by Larry Lannan

Fishers doesn’t have a mayor now. But with seven town council members all elected at large, it can be argued that politics Fishers has seven mayors.

That will all change soon.

After a hard fought 2012 campaign, voters overwhelmingly approved a referendum to transform Fishers from a town to a city.

There is some question about when the mayoral election will be held, but the most likely scenario is for the balloting to happen in November 2015, with the new mayor and city council taking office in 2016.

With the election just less than two years away, you might think it’s too early to start talking about who may run for mayor. You would be wrong.

Anyone thinking about becoming a candidate for mayor is looking at what support she/he may have at this point in the cycle.

This is also the time potential candidates will be sounding out possible campaign donors.

It will take plenty of money to run a mayoral campaign in a municipality the size of Fishers.

The rumor mill has been busy on who may file for the newly-created office. Well more than half of the current town council members are rumored to be exploring the possibility of running. There are others not now in elected office that also are thinking about it.

Anyone choosing to run for mayor cannot run for any of the new city council positions.

Some may pass on the mayoral race to run for a new council seat.

Many of those mulling a mayoral run have well-paying jobs now. Will any of these potential candidates forsake their lucrative careers to take a job with an election due every four years? Or, will some candidates try to become a part-time mayor and rely on staff to handle day-to-day operations for the new city?

With Fishers known to be a GOP stronghold, the biggest test will come in the May, 2015 primary election. The Republican emerging from that primary will be a heavy favorite to win in the general election.

It will also be interesting to see whether Democrats run a candidate for mayor or any of the new council seats. In the 2011 town council races, only one Democrat was a candidate in one district, Greg Purvis, and he lost to John Weingardt.

I have no idea who will end up on the primary election ballot in May of 2015. I do know it will be fun to watch this political story.

Fishers wants a Lions Club

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com A new branch of an old service group is striving to meet the needs of Fishers.

The Fishers Lions Club volunteerism is a branch of the Carmel Lions Club. The club needs to reach a membership threshold before it can become an independent club.

“Lions Clubs International is already a very well-established international organization,” Brandon Ledbetter, Fishers Lions Club president, said. “We’re trying to bring what it offers to the community of Fishers.”

The Lions, in general, are known for championing sight-related issues. The club with international reach also helps the youth. The big motto is, “We serve.”

“Our focus point right now is what the town needs or how we can benefit the town,” Ledbetter said.

The club has been meeting for about three months. Ledbetter said Tony Elliot, assistant to the town manager, reached out to him about a member of the Carmel Lions Club, a past international director, trying to set up a club in Fishers.

An active guard reserve soldier, Ledbetter was in Afghanistan when Elliot contacted him via email.

While the club is planning on working with groups likes Fishers Arts Council and Fishers Music Works, the group is trying to focus on growing its numbers.

Ledbetter said the group’s current “near term goal” is to get enough members to split off from the Carmel club.

“Carmel is actually very supportive,” Janice Chapman, Fishers Lions Club member, said. “They want us to succeed.”

Chapman was a member of the Carmel club previously, and took the opportunity to join the Fishers branch club once it started up.

Chapman said a Lions Club existed in Fishers and estimated it folded in the mid-2000s.

The Fishers Lions Club meets the first and third Monday every month at the Fall Creek Township Building, 11595 Brook School Rd., starting at 7 p.m. Those interested are welcome to come to the events.

If interested in joining or for more information, call Ledbetter at 417-1461 or email at Fishers.lionsclub@hotmail.com.

Lauren Coté, 12, has been raising cancer awareness since she was a toddler

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com It was tradition for her and her dad, Rick, to participate every year. They would camp out at the event that raises cancer awareness and money for the American cover Story Cancer Society’s initiatives.

Coté’s mom, Denise, would take Lauren’s younger brother, Nick, home, but she and Rick would stay.

Rick was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2009 and succumbed to it in October 2010. Lauren took up the captain’s mantle for their relay team.

How long does she plan to keep it up? “‘Till they find a cure,” she said.

Denise said the family has raised about $20,000 for the cause and the community in the past three years.

This year’s Relay for Life of Fishers raised $67,969.11 as of June 5, with Coté’s team, the Cancer Kickers, being the top group for fundraising and Coté being the biggest individual fundraiser. The event took place on June 1 and the overall goal for the Relay this year was $42,000.

Mark Cannon, an ACT! Lead with the ACS Cancer Action Network and teammate, started participating in Relay after he met the Coté family at a kick-off event in 2010.

“She just turned 12 years old,” Cannon said, “and she’s a leading fundraiser and head of the highest fundraising team and served as team captain. How many people do that, let alone 12-year-old(s)?”

Lauren met her $10,000 goal with a little extra change, $10,362.90 as of June 5. The funds she has raised thus far have been thanks to family, friends and neighbors.

Denise said Rick’s positivity has something to do with her success.

“I think that’s why Lauren’s been so successful in raising money because he was very loved by our neighbors and our family and friends. He was very generous, and he knew how important

events like this are,” she said.

In his fight with brain cancer, Denise said Rick signed on to as many studies as he possibly could, not to help himself, but maybe his children or grandchildren in the future.

With his generosity and smile in mind, Denise describes Lauren as a “Mini-Me” of Rick, and her plans going forward are reflective of those attributes, as well as the experiences Rick went through.

One of the reasons Lauren wanted to raise $10,000 through Relay for Life was to win an iPod and a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones.

While some teens might work toward that goal with uploading as many songs as the gizmo

can hold, Lauren has other plans for the prize.

Rick consistently used an iPod and Bose headphones during chemotherapy.

Lauren wanted to raise the money to earn the prizes, and then donate them to a child that is going through what her father experienced.

That act is rooted in today’s reality, but down the road she wants other children to not go through what she did, frequently picking out articles to read to her mom about possible cures on the horizon.

“She’s really hoping that other kids don’t have to endure what she has,” Denise said.

A quick glance at the crowd participating in the Relay for Life of Fishers and it is evident that

kids are wanting to make a difference.

Denise said that at one point, the Fishers Relay for Life was part of a larger, overarching Hamilton County Relay event, but the big event broke off into smaller pieces in various communities, transforming the Fishers event into a grassroots-like movement.

Cannon and his mother, Carolyn Helm, are both cancer survivors. Helm is a first-year survivor, and it was her first relay.

He said Relay for Life is more than a fundraiser – it’s a way for cancer survivors to connect.

“That’s our goal, to get more people involved,” he said, and “as the event continues to grow I think it’ll be an important part of the Fishers community for years to come.”

FROM THE BACKSHOP The presidency: Latest in long line

Cooperative giving

It is our position that underutilized volunteerism, resources and talent should be shifted to the organizations that need it most.

Often times, there is an overabundance of volunteers at schools or organizations who, in actuality, need them the least. Low volunteer turnover can easily put the squeeze on available opportunities. PTO monopolies and tiresome politics can downright suck the enthusiasm out of a willing and able volunteer.

There are many schools in Hamilton and Boone counties that have a low parent volunteer rate. If you want to read to children, and there is no opportunity at your child’s school, volunteer at a school in need. A great example of cooperative giving is by the staff and students at Creekside Middle School. During a recent Creekside Student Challenge, students and staff donated books to The Lunch Club in Sheridan that serves meals to children and adults in need during summers and school breaks.

How are you?

Commentary by Terry Anker In the world of everyday interactions, there are certain phrases and gestures that we all use as indicators of greeting, transition from one point to another, of hierarchy and of civility. They can be as simple as hello or as subtle as shifting one’s eyes away when it is time for a subject or conversation to end. But somehow, and without any formal training, we all seem to understand the rules. Of course, some are better and more adept at reading and responding to these cues and others appear hopelessly adrift, unable to receive even the most slow-pitch of gestures. But there is a third group of us, imagining ourselves to be above the petty and insincere who refuse, as much on principle as ego, to perpetuate the custom.

The man taking our restaurant order is simply doing a job, we might say, therefore, there is little reason to engage in the mindless banter of, “How are you tonight?” – or please and thank you. Do we really care whether this person is

having a good day at work? And isn’t it a waste of words to say please when we clearly expect service and he clearly expects payment? Are these interactions superfluous?

To me, these exchanges are invaluable. They reinforce the social contract between us all.

Simply put, one woman’s servant is another’s customer. By acknowledging the strata and clarifying roles, don’t we, in fact, enhance the speed and pleasure of the interaction rather than waste time or engage in unnecessary social fiction? With please, we show respect for the waiter’s toil. With thank you, he makes it clear that he understands the order and will deliver it soon. With ‘How do you do?’ are we inviting a healthy inquiry or just signaling a preparedness for exchange?

It’s highly interesting and maybe a bit frightening to hear President Barack Obama’s administration suggest that the horrific and deadly attack eight months ago in Benghazi “was a long time ago” and that the Internal Revenue Service probes of conservative political-interest groups were the travails of a few “rogues.” Neither was on point.

Late last month there was a vehement verbal volley between White House spokesman Jay Carney and Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, one during which Issa labeled Carney “a paid liar.”

Well, is he? Who knows? We know this much from history: Both sides of the aisle are adept at talking out of both sides of their respective mouths. Sometimes it’s too much, or too little, to believe. We do suppose, however, that a rising tide is heading toward the White House.

It’s patently shameful that the American voters have reduced the presidency to what it has become. It didn’t happen all at once through Obama’s residency in Washington. His camp’s effort is the latest in a long, saddening line of presidential failures. Bonus: More than a lifetime of angst dosed by Congress, which continues to look for ways to spend our money and does. Really, if you think about it when watching Obama tell Americans, “I didn’t know about that,” it’s totally believable; we don’t believe he’s lying. Therefore, he is the Bystander President. And this takes us back to the American voter, whose due diligence was not done with respect this administration or, really, any administration since the days of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower – except, maybe, for that of Ronald Reagan.

The two parties are incapable of running this nation to effect the well-oiled superpower it should be. Until a viable third party gains momentum and becomes coast-to-coast meaningful, we’re getting and stepping in exactly that which we deserve.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

BELIEVE IT!

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Montana, it is illegal to have a sheep in the cab of your truck without a chaperone.

Controlled chaos can be a beautiful thing.

If you’ve never been inside a working newsroom, it can be a treat. editor’s take It might not be the most exciting experience to the average passerby, but to a newsie, journo, reporter, editor, professional nosy person – whatever you’d like to call us – it’s an entertaining place.

In Current’s little newsroom, personalities bounce and play off each other, arguments are had, people get angry, people laugh a lot and our white board gets used for everything, from overarching planning (at one point in October I drew a gigantic table dissecting the differences between a second class city, a modernized city and a town) to outlandish in-jokes that either have folks shaking their heads or furrowing their brows. Apparently someone was acting quite “Dan-ish” two weeks ago (which was not to not be confused with “Danish”). I don’t know if that was compliment or a criticism; I prefer to assume whoever was acting like me was being quite debonair and astounding everyone in the

office with peerless wit.

Jokes aside, it’s a fun little vortex and nerve center where bits and pieces of news from all across Hamilton County coalesce. Being in the office in the heart of the Carmel Arts & Design district, I constantly hear what’s going on there, and I share deadline day with my Noblesville and Westfield colleague Robert Herrington. I get to share what’s going on in Fishers with people that know Hamilton County incredibly well, and it’s a lot of fun to see everything fitting into the big puzzle that is the northern suburbs.

There’s enough zaniness to go around that it’s an adventure almost all the time. Newsroom culture is a strange one, but I always enjoy seeing team-members on deadline days That is, even if it’s chaotic.

READERS’ VIEWS

‘Is porn what you stand for?’

Editor, I am writing to you in regards of the Current in Fishers publication, edition May 21, 2013. The article, titled “Seriously, whats’s so bad about it?” by Danielle Wilson was very disturbing to me.

This columnist is distasteful and reflects poorly on what is otherwise a great publication. I have often felt disgusted after reading her articles, but this time she really crossed the line.

A publication in a family oriented city of Fishers should not include articles that would be much better suited in a smutty magazine such

as Cosmopolitan. Her blatant promotion of the use of pornography goes completely against what I am sure your political and religious beliefs are. I can’t understand why your publishers allow her to degrade the quality of your publication with her filth. I only ask you to step back and reevaluate whether or not the promotion and use of pornography is something that you stand for, and if not, then why has she continued as a columnist.

We commend Sen. Kenley

Editor, As President and CEO of the Indiana Manufacturers Association, I want to express our appreciation for the pro-manufacturing legislation supported by your state senator, Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville), during this most recent session of the Indiana General Assembly. Specifically, Sen. Kenley served as primary sponsor of House Enrolled Act 1001-2013, Biennial Budget.

There are five key provisions in the $30-billion state budget most helpful to manufacturers: • The retroactive repeal of the state inheritance tax will save taxpayers about $180 million during the next two years.

• The phased-in reduction of the individual adjusted gross income tax rate from 3.4 percent to 3.23 percent will benefit manufacturers organized as pass-through entities.

• The recoupling to many provisions of the

Internal Revenue Code and elimination of various “add-backs” under the state individual income tax and corporate income tax is good policy and, hopefully, a first step in easing the tax preparation burden while providing additional tax relief.

• The budget requires 100 percent of the excess reserves in calendar year 2013 to be transferred to the Pension Stabilization Fund to pay down our unpaid obligations.

• The state will maintain a structural surplus each year and a total combined reserve balance of about $1.8 billion providing a sufficient buffer in case of another economic downturn.

We commend Sen. Kenley for his leadership and support of pro-manufacturing legislation.

Oh, the dreaded days of summer Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Summer is upon us my friends, and if you’re anything like me (mother, slightly anal), you’ll appreciate the small amount of humor panic that has set in as I prepare for 10 weeks of children at home.

With me. All. The. Time. Don’t get me wrong. I love the thought of not having to strong-arm my kids into doing homework every night, the idea of not using my scant knowledge of chemistry to determine out how to keep the Trix yogurt cold without ice packs (which they’ll surely throw away with their retainers), and the notion that I will no longer be schlepping my precious little angels to 700 different after-school activities in various parts of the state.

I cherish all of that, for about five days. Like childbirth, I soon forget the pain and anguish of the academic year and am ready to do it all again by mid-June. And I’ve learned that it doesn’t really matter what kind of mom you are in terms of your job status. When I stayed at home, all summer meant was an increased risk of drowning, sunburn, bee stings and Kool-Aid carpet stains.

It didn’t change my day-to-day schedule, except for a few older kids hanging around. I looked forward to Aug. 10 with my kids’ anticipation of Christmas. “Please, Santa, bring me a big yellow school bus!”

As a teacher, of course, I can’t wait for classes to be over. One hundred and 80 days with teen-

agers is enough to send any normal person to professional help. My sanity and patience levels desperately need a nice long break from over exposure to Axe body spray and girl drama. But come summer, I’m simply trading one taxing environment for another. Would I rather spend the day teaching algebra to bored juniors or wrangling technology-addicted kiddos outside?

Hmmm. I’d rather just enjoy a cocktail.

It’s not much better for moms who work yearround either. They have to pull some pretty fine logistical magic out their wazoos if they want to ensure their school-age heirs don’t spend the entire summer watching Little House reruns and playing Skyrim. “In how many camps can you enroll three kids if the age groups don’t align, the nanny can’t be here until 9, and Suzy has to be in Cheer III with her bestie?” Sweet mercy, these moms are miracle workers! You go, ladies!

My point is, summer is sometimes more stressful then the day-to-day grind of the school year. Sure your bedtime schedule is more relaxed, but having to create your own routine and structure to ensure the safety and harmony of your family is challenging in its own right. Good luck to us all! Peace out.

Good-bye, old friend

Commentary by Toby Stark

We recently said good-bye to a dear friend… a friend that had been a gracious host and a source of comfort chaucie’s place to so many children in Hamilton County.

The farmhouse that was Chaucie’s Place’s home for 10 years was demolished last week so that its owner, St.Vincent Carmel Hospital, can begin helping even more families in our community with its new St.Vincent Women’s Center.

More than 2,600 children who had reported sexual or physical abuse or neglect had been interviewed in that farmhouse. Children who felt their first glimmer of hope inside those four walls, first felt support and a small sense that things may be okay.

It was also inside that farmhouse where Chaucie’s Place leadership made the decisions to increase the organization’s focus on child sexual abuse prevention; understanding that there is no greater responsibility than keeping children safe, than preventing harm from happening to children.

That farmhouse became Chaucie’s Place’s first home because of the Hamilton County community’s determination to find a better way for child victims, and because of the generosity of many organizations including The Legacy Fund, the Lilly Foundation, and – of course – St.Vincent Carmel Hospital who leased us the home for a mere $1 a year. St.Vincent Carmel was a generous landlord

and remains a steadfast partner.

The spirit of our farmhouse lives on in our new facility, owned by Martin Marietta and leased to Chaucie’s Place for $1 a year. We salvaged almost everything that could be salvaged – to eliminate waste, save money, and to ensure a little bit of our past joins with our future. Thankyou for 10 wonderful years of caring, protection and healing. We thank St.Vincent Carmel for its hospitality and wish it well with its expansion of services for the families of Hamilton County.

Toby Stark is the executive director of Chaucie’s Place, a nonprofit Child Advocacy Center that works to prevent child sexual abuse and youth suicide.

Competing for every kilowatt Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

I’m a competitive person. For example, I obsess about how my lawn looks in comparison to others on my block. I noticed some humor bare spots recently, so I addressed the issue with a trip to a local nursery. Then at the Memorial Day get-together last week, people were discussing Joe’s yard, which was suffering from the same problem. I thought, there, but for the grace of sod, go I. Now I have a new challenge to deal with. It began with a letter from Indianapolis Power and Light, a single page that has reawakened my latent paranoid tendencies.

The envelope seemed innocent enough. It looked like my monthly electric bill. But the contents were far more ominous. The page was filled with charts and graphs and the info was labeled: LAST THREE MONTHS NEIGHBOR COMPARISON My heart jumped and my pulse raced as I scanned the enclosed printout only to learn that I was consuming more energy than those identified by IPL as “Your Most Efficient Neighbors.” I felt so exposed that I pulled the curtains down and then turned off the 11 lights, three TVs and two computers I had left on the night before.

To really rub it in, IPL informed me that I used 40 percent more electricity than my most efficient neighbor. Who was this person? Which house did he live in? It didn’t say. Was he hiding

in the shadows? It’s hard to find a shadow when you never have any lights on.

I asked my neighbor Mort if he received the same kind of letter. Mort is a nice guy, but he always leaves his garage door open. I thought he was just forgetful, but apparently this is part of his grand plan to be recognized by IPL as a “conservation superstar.”

“Every kilowatt counts,” Mort told me while we were standing in his driveway. “If I never close that overhead door, I can save $1.49 a year.” Then he asked what I was doing to conserve resources in my home. I was tired of the conversation so I told him I only shower once a month. Mort walked back into the garage… and down came the door.

The idea that someone is monitoring what goes on in and around my home is creepy.

Whenever I look outside, strange people are reading my meters, putting colored lines on my neighbors’ lawns, installing invisible fences, looking through tiny telescopes mounted on tripods, and stuffing propaganda in my mailbox. Sure, call them coupons if you want, but see those two little dots in the word Meijer? That must be a secret code for something.

‘Olympics of community theatre’ approaching

By Nina Johnson • editorial@youarecurrent.com Carmel Repertory Theatre will host AACTFest 2013 June 17 – 23 at the Center for the Performing Arts. More than aactfest 2013 7,000 community theaters competed to participate in this national showcase, sponsored by the American Association of Community Theatre.

“I quote technical director Keith Matters when I say this is the Olympics of community theatre,” said director Dave Dufour of Elkhart Civic Theatre.

When Carmel Repertory reorganized leadership this March, June McCarty Clair volunteered to serve as chairperson and her husband, John, signed up as co-chair. More than 50 local volunteers offered to assist with duties from transportation coordination to talent acquisition.

“We have been so gratified at the number of volunteers who have stepped forward and offered to help make this festival a success,” June Clair said. “We will be ready to roll out the red carpet.”

AACT Executive Director Julie Crawford expects Carmel’s inaugural year will surpass expectations.

“June and John Clair are doing a fabulous job,” she said.

For AACT members, the week includes a Community Theatre Management Conference and Director’s Workshops at the Renaissance Hotel.

The public is welcome to attend performances and exhibits beginning Wednesday at the Center.

Twelve award-winning productions will be performed in the Tarkington Theatre on afternoons and evenings Wednesday through Saturday. One-hundred seats are reserved for the public. Tickets for each block of shows can be purchased through the Center. A stage design competition will be displayed in the Tarkington upper lobby’s Knebel Room.

The community is invited to attend Friday night’s free open air concert on the green.

“The Friday night event is going to be a talent showcase,” June Clair said.

From 5:30 to 6:45 p.m., the concert will offer a variety of routines and live music. Julia Bonnet, first winner of the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Competition, will perform.

Director of “Cradle & All,” Susan Leslie Edgren, shared Wisconsin Rapids Community Theatre’s excitement about preparing for its first national

competition.

“We have tweaked a couple of moments between characters and given certain set pieces a better look,” she said.

This Daniel Goldfarb comedy offers two polar perspectives on parenthood.

Mary Beth King, director of “Leading Ladies,” explained Minnesota’s Dakota Fine Arts Consortium “rehearsed in five separate spaces, performed in seven different theaters.”

This Ken Ludwig farce involves two characters posing as relatives to scramble over inheritance, disguises and romantic predicaments.

After polling cast and crew, King said they look forward to many aspects of the event and “celebrating the art that is supported by our diverse hometown communities.”

Elkhart Civic Theatre’s Director Dufour described a minimal Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde stage with a rolling red door and special lighting to create a Victorian atmosphere.

“It’s an unusual version,” he said. “There’s actually four different people playing Mr. Hyde.”

Dufour explained Elkhart’s last national competition was 10 years ago. Crew practiced stage assembly until they achieved a swift seven minutes.

“Competitions require timing restrictions,” he explained. “You’re allowed 10 minutes maximum for set-up and then for take-down.”

Ohio director Charles Matthews said the Actor’s Guild of Parkersburg “look forward to making the five and a half hour drive to Carmel.”

The troupe is “excited to bring our production of ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’” to the competition as well as “the networking opportunities, workshops and the ability to see community theater at its finest.”

AACTFest concludes with a June 23banquet and awards ceremony announcing the 2013 national winners.

Performance Schedule June 19 • 1:15 to 5:15 p.m., Block 1 Dakota Fine Arts Consortium, Minn.: “Leading Ladies” Wisconsin Rapids Community Theatre: “Cradle and All” • 7 to 11 p.m., Block 2 AACT Fellows Induction Theatre Winter Haven, Fla.: “Golda’s Balcony” Lake City Playhouse, Idaho: “K2” June 20 • 1:15 to 5:15 p.m., Block 3 Aspen Stage, Colo.: “Unmarried in America” OnStage Playhouse, Calif.: “To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday” • 7 to 11 p.m., Block 4 Ohlook Performing Arts Center, Texas: “Spring Awakening” Confetti Stage, N.Y.: “The Lesson” June 21 • 1:15 to 5:15 p.m., Block 5 Elkhart Civic Theatre, Ind.: “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” Baytown Little Theatre, Texas: “God of Carnage” • 1:15 to 5:15 p.m., Block 6 Actor’s Guild of Parkersburg, W.Va.: “Tuesdays with Morrie” The Burlington Players, Maine: “Radium Girls” Purchase tickets at the Center for the Performing Arts or online at www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org/tickets/

Center has your summer entertainment covered

Commentary by Tania Castroverde Moskalenko In May, the Center for the Performing Arts announced a fabulous new season, packed with world-class artists spanning multiple genres.

From classical pianist Lang palladium Lang to country music great Merle Haggard, the 2013-14 season is filled with artists you’ll want to see live and in person. However, announcing the new season is just a part of what’s taking place at the Center in the coming months.

We followed the big season announcement with another major addition announcement: the legendary Diana Ross is coming to Carmel! I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Ms. Ross to the Palladium stage on Aug. 23. She is an iconic artist, and I’m delighted that she will kick off the Center for the Performing Arts 2013-14 season.

I invite you to become a season subscriber so

that you can enjoy the many benefits available, including the best seats to Diana Ross.

Take a look at the 2013-14 season presented by St.Vincent Health online at www.TheCenterPresents.org.

As we head into our summer programming, we invite you to start a tradition with your family. Bring your children and grandchildren to see the innovative – and interactive – Erth’s Dinosaurs Petting Zoo (June 13-16). You and your family will marvel at these elaborate puppets and the mastery behind the petting zoo. The family lineup this summer gives you a taste of things to come in our 2013-14 family series – you won’t want to miss a single minute! We encourage you to share these magical moments together, as a family.

This month we kick-off our 2013 Encore Celebration Gala Weekend! There will be everything from a gourmet meal, a silent and live auction, to live music, performances, and dancing. Plus, the

Diana Ross to perform at the Palladium editorial@youarecurrent.com Diana Ross will be making her Palladium debut on Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

“I am thrilled to welcome Diana Ross to the Palladium stage,” said Tania Castroverde Moskalenko, Center for the Performing Arts president and chief executive officer. “She is an iconic artist, and I’m delighted that she will kick-off the Center for the Performing Arts 2013-14 season.”

Tickets for the Diana Ross concert only are available to 2013-14 season subscribers and are available at the Palladium box office or by phone at 8433800. Guests purchasing a subscription are eligible to buy concert tickets immediately. Single tickets for non-subscribers will be available at a later date. Information about the 2013-14 season, presented by St.Vincent Health, is available online at www.TheCenterPresents.org.

The recording industry icon will perform her greatest hits in a live performance complete with elaborate costumes and dramatic stage lighting. Ross has had a profound influence on American popular culture. She is an Academy Award-nominated actress for her role as Billie Holiday in “Lady Sings The Blues,” a Tony and Golden Globe winner, a bestselling author, winner of eight American Music Awards and a recipient of The Kennedy Center Honors.

Ross has sold more than 100 million records and has recorded 18 No. 1 hits. Her music became the sound of young America in the ‘60s, soon after she signed with Motown Records in 1961 with The Supremes. She embarked on her solo career in 1970. Ross was inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Supremes. In 1993, the Guinness Book of World Records declared Ross the most successful female music artist in history due to her success in the United States and United Kingdom for having more hits than any female artist in the charts with a career total of 70 hit singles.

Center and the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative will induct a new class in the Songbook Hall of Fame. This year we are honoring the contributions of Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, Jimmy Webb and Rita Moreno. Join us June 28 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom and June 29 at The Palladium.

As you plan your summer activities, include a visit to the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Gallery. The gallery continues its exhibit “Jazz of the ’20s.” Located on the Palladium’s gallery level, this interactive display of memorabilia and recorded music pays homage to the celebrated artists of the jazz age and its place in Indiana history. You will not want to miss this opportunity to discover how music impacted our state and the nation. Visit the gallery on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, our six resident companies have performances and activities throughout the entire summer months. With all of our offerings you might wonder why you need to leave Carmel at all for your summer vacation!

I look forward to welcoming you on your next visit to the Center for the Performing Arts!

Tania Castroverde Moskalenko is the president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and an occasional contributor to Current. You may contact her at tmoskalenko@thecenterpresents.org.

A look in the funhouse mirror

By Jay Harvey • news@currentinwestfield.com Sometimes, a distorted look at ourselves and what we like to do seems the most enjoyable path toward self-knowledge. theatre Serious critiques can be energizing, but not as much fun as the view in the funhouse mirror.

That’s what Off-Main Street Players is up to with its season-ending production of “Amateurs” by Tom Griffin, a 67-year-old playwright best known for “The Boys Next Door,” a 1988 play about men with mental disabilities sharing a group home. “Amateurs” is far different; it takes an amusing look at ambition, drive, hard work and sometimes misdirected dreams in the world of community theater.

Director Marcus Waye said that the announcement of auditions produced an unusual amount of interest, probably related to the comedy’s theme: the motivations and varied gifts of volunteer actors and how a drama critic’s sudden health crisis at an opening-night cast party generates soul-searching and exposes the motivations of people drawn to do theater in their spare time. “(‘Amateurs’) piqued a lot of people’s interest,” said Waye, a 40-year-old veteran of the Zionsville all-volunteer company.

Many of them had in mind the hit movie spoof of community theater aspirations, “Waiting for Guffman,” which Waye described as

“more cartoonish” than Griffin’s play.

“This has a more realistic setting, and a lot of pathos to it,” he said.

Still, Griffin “skewers community theater — the archetypes are pretty broad, and he nails them pretty well,” Waye said.

Well enough to draw 17 people to audition for nine roles: “It was hard for me to cast this one,” said Waye, who has directed six shows for Off Main Street Players. “Everyone was really good.”

The director and company dramaturg, whose day job is in IT at the Carmel Public Library, has been involved with the company since it revived in 2005 with a production of “Plaza Suite,” in which he played a bellhop. Waye’s total for OffMain Street Players amounts to about a dozen shows in various capacities.

“I’m learning as I go,” he said.

A teachable moment lies at the core of “Amateurs.” The cast’s discovery of the ill critic’s unpublished review “holds a mirror up to their talent level,” Waye said. “It challenges them to question how good they are and why they participate in theater.”

‘Amateurs’ • When: June 14 and 15 at 8 p.m.

• Where: Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St. • Tickets: $12 and available at the venue or by contacting OMSP box office at 5953700 or www.offmainstreetplayers.org

Compression socks could help

Commentary by Dr. Jeffery Schoonover

If you have been to any races or marathons recently, many runners have begun to wear knee high compression socks or calf sleeves. Why is it beneficial? To understand the benefits of medical grade compression stockings, let’s take a look at the circulatory system. You may recall from biology class that blood circulates through our bodies via a network of veins and arteries. It is a closed system so that blood that is pumped from the heart to the legs must be moved back up the circulatory system to the heart.

The calf muscle can actually be considered a “peripheral heart” in that it pumps venous blood against the force of gravity by walking and running.

It is well known that compression stockings improve blood flow by helping the calf muscle pump more effectively, which helps keep blood from pooling in the legs. Stockings have been used for years with patients after surgery, to treat leg swelling and for varicose and spider veins.

Now, there is growing evidence that athletic compression stockings may reduce muscle pain in the recovery phase (post-event soreness) after a race. Post-event muscle pain can occur for several reasons: lactic acid build-up, micro trauma

at the muscle fiber (myofibril) level, electrolyte depletion and a release of prostaglandins (inflammatory chemicals released during and after exercise). Compression is believed to reduce the muscle pain because they can reduce the myofibril micro trauma and increase the calf muscle pump efficiency, which clears out lactic acid and prostaglandins more effectively.

What is less clear is the benefit of wearing them during a race. It is well documented that venous insufficiency is associated with swelling, inflammation and pain, but there are no definitive studies yet that show the benefit of use during the event. We do advise athletes with varicose vein disease to wear compression stockings during events to increase the calf muscle pump function while reducing swelling and venous pooling. For athletes without varicose vein disease, there may be a benefit to wearing athletic compression stockings after an event to help with recovery.

Preparing to have a baby

Commentary by James Smith, MD

Making the decision to have a baby is one of life’s biggest milestones. As anticipation grows, there are steps prospective wellness parents can take to improve the chance of a healthy pregnancy. Couples should schedule a pre-conception appointment with a trusted doctor at least three months before attempting to become pregnant.

Issues covered during this appointment may include: • The couple’s medical history including any health conditions, chronic conditions, medications and supplements, and family history of disease • Past pregnancies and any complications, such as Cesarean section, pre-term birth, gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) • Any known history of inherited genetic disease or birth defects – If this is the case for either partner, the doctor may refer the couple to a genetic counselor.

• Diet, including weight, recommended nutrition, any food allergies and prenatal vitamins. If a woman is overweight or underweight, it’s generally best to reach an ideal body mass index of between 20 and 25 before becoming pregnant. At least one month before conception, the prospective mother should begin taking a daily prenatal vitamin fortified with at least 0.4 milligrams

dipatches Earns cancer designation – St.Vincent Cancer Care and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital have been designated as one of five Community Resource Centers in the nation by the Association of Community Cancers Centers for patients with small-population or rare cancers. The program gives communitybased cancer care providers the information they need to better care for patients with rare cancers and seeks to raise awareness among the public and healthcare providers about the challenges presented by these rare diseases. St.Vincent Cancer Care and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital received the CRC designation after ACCC survey results concluded that the faith-based hospital offers exemplary services for managing rare cancers. The survey results demonstrated that the cancer care provided at St.Vincent and the Children’s Hospital offer effective strategies and innovative tools for patients with these diseases.

of folic acid to help prevent neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in the newborn. (It’s generally recommended that all women of child-bearing age take folic acid to guard against these conditions should an unintended pregnancy occur.)

• If a woman is not already exercising, it’s best to begin regular exercise before becoming pregnant. For most women, exercise can and should continue during pregnancy. Moderate exercise for 20 to 30 minutes on most days of the week is recommended.

• If either partner smokes, the doctor can provide guidance on quitting. If alcohol or drug use is an issue, this should also be discussed with the doctor before becoming pregnant.

• Birthing preferences, such as whether the couple wants to deliver in a hospital, certified birthing center or at home.

Although there is much to consider, it’s important to remember that most women are well suited from both a health and lifestyle standpoint to have a healthy pregnancy.

Calkins officialy becomes CMO – Paul Calkins, MD, was recently selected as the chief medical officer of Indiana University Health North Hospital, 116th and Meridian streets, Carmel. Effective June 30, Calkins will lead the hospital’s 1,400-member medical staff while maintaining communication with various departments and physicians. In addition, he will be involved in administrative decision making and planning. Calkins has served as the interim CMO at IU Health North Hospital since Jan. 1. During that time he also continued his role as the service line leader for anesthesia for IU Health PhyCalkins sicians. Before accepting that position, Calkins was the medical director of surgical services at IU Health North Hospital from 2005 to 2011. He also is a practicing anesthesiologist with Anesthesia Consultants of Indianapolis and will continue serving patients in this role while also fulfilling his position as CMO. New hospital bedding – St.Vincent Seton Specialty Hospitals, long-term acute care facilities in Indianapolis and Lafayette, are the first in the nation to implement a new mattress cover system using Indiana-made Trinity Guardion technology. The local company developed a unique antimicrobial mattress cover and laundering process to ensure the highest level of cleanliness and safety for patients.

With this new system, patients benefit from a mattress where no pathogenic bacteria can survive and also are not exposed to any residual chemicals previously used to disinfect the mattresses. In addition, the mattress covers provide a cooler, more comfortable bed surface for patients.

Schools healthcare provider – Indiana University Health is proud to announce a new partnership with South Madison Community Schools.

Effective July 1, IU Health will become the official sports medicine provider for student athletes who attend South Madison Community Schools.

Services IU Health will provide to the schools include: athletic trainer coverage, physician coverage, sports performance services, preferred access for Pendleton Heights athletes, pre-participation screenings for athletes and ImPACT concussion management.

Chance keeps you in the game Commentary by David Cain

It comes to the final play, the ending. While it’s that play that often draws the most criticism from amateur coaches on success everywhere, it’s usually not the final play that decided the game’s outcome. Whether you win or lose is less about the last minutes than it is the whole game and the entire game plan. Close games that are won or lost by tiny margins clearly had a game plan that worked. Outcomes of a game are more reliant on a series of choices and cumulative performance.

If you lost or won by a little bit, you were in the game and had a chance to win. And, you can’t win them all. You will lose sometimes. It’s what you do after the loss that matters most, how you rally.

Even if your work happens at an office and not on a court or field, you’ll be confronted with the same reality. You will lose sometimes. It’s statistically impossible to win all the time. What do you do when you lose? How do you regroup, rally and

refine for the next attempt? Winners get excited about the next opportunity and view it as a new opportunity; a chance to win is far better than the sour taste of not being in the game.

Well, businesses have four quarters, too. Each quarter is 131,400 minutes long and after four quarters, your score is entered in the record books or, more likely, your bank’s books. Every period you have a chance to win or lose and the end result of each quarter won’t be because of what happens in the final minute. Instead, it will be the result of the decisions you made well before the game started. It will be grounded in your practice, your preparation, your performance and your passion. The surest of game plans and preparation can only give you a chance to win it and that chance, the chance to execute perfectly, is what keeps a competitor in the game.

I should send myself more lists Commentary by Heather Kestian

The good news: my husband did not electrocute himself from putting the new carriage lights in. This was possible because plain talk I installed the carriage lights.

For the record, I did not electrocute myself either.

What did I learn from sending a honey-do list to my better half? I learned that I should work on negotiating “his tasks” and “her tasks.” I thought a honey do list meant everything on the list was the honey’s responsibility. Clearly, I was misinformed.

After ordering the new lights, I asked my husband to pick up the lights. He placed the three large boxes of lights in the garage. I thought the clutter would send my dear husband over the edge and the lights would go up in a matter of days.

Fast forward a couple of weeks, and the lights remained in their boxes. The lesson: Do this yourself, Heather. What do you fear about this project – electricity coursing through your body and frying your brains?

Why yes, that is exactly what I fear.

I can manage this by myself, right? I am a strong, confident woman who is more than capable of turning off the electricity. I do not need anyone to do this for me!

After researching some You Tube videos (I

cannot believe I had to do this), I figured out I needed a circuit tester. Check – we have one of those in the garage. My loving husband retrieved said device, which had two dead batteries. Uncheck. Now we need to go to the hardware store and of course, hilarity ensued.

We make a stop at the hardware store and I explain to the guy what I need. He promptly gets the appropriate tester and then tells me, “Make sure no one turns the electricity on after you turn it off. This gadget tells you when there is no electricity but it doesn’t tell you if someone turns it back on. You know, some guy got fried in a huge dryer because someone turned on the electricity after he had turned it off. You should be more worried about that.”

Thank you, Captain Obvious. You are really helping my fear issues right now.

After testing the circuit approximately 100 times, I figured it was safe for me to touch everything. After 20 minutes of fumbling, I had the carriage lights up, the electricity back on, flipping the switch and enjoying the new light.

My husband should be so proud of me and my non-electrifying skills.

Lend, loan or borrow?

Commentary by Jordan Fischer I had the peculiar fortune of hearing this cringe-worthy statement the other day: “I can’t drive over there right grammar guy now. My boyfriend is loaning my car.”

After my ears stopped bleeding, I realized that at least I had my column for this week.

The problem we have before us is a person not educated on the difference between the words “loan,” “lend” and “borrow.” Luckily, the Grammar Guy is here to help. Since “loan” and “lend” are similar in many ways, let’s talk about the odd duck out first: “borrow.”

To “borrow” something is to take and use something that belongs to someone else with the intention of returning it. That “something” can be money, a possession, or even figuratively the person themselves if you’re drawing them away from their own task. “Borrow” is the other end of lending someone something. I “borrow” your car. You “lend” me your car. “Borrow” always goes on the receiving end of a loan.

Now, for “lend” and loan:” “Loan” as a noun is the object being lent or borrowed. In the example above, the car is the loan. You can receive mone-

tary loans to buy a house or go to college, or loans in the form of property, for example a “loaner car” while yours is being repaired. “Loan” can also be used as a verb, however it is only used with concrete nouns: “I will loan you my car.” “Could you loan me $50?” The verb form of “loan” is much more widely used in America than Britain … but since we’re in America, I suppose that’s just fine.

“Lend” acts only as a verb, and can be used for concrete or abstract nouns. For example, you could lend someone your car if theirs breaks down. More abstractly, you could lend a co-worker your experience with a problem you’ve faced before. Flowers can lend a room an outdoorsy feel. You get the picture.

With “lend” and “loan,” you can always feel confident using “lend” if you need a verb, though “loan” is perfectly acceptable when talking about concrete nouns. As for “borrow,” if it still gives you trouble, remember this: You always borrow “from” someone, never “to” someone.

Invest in well-made, and measured, counter stools Commentary by Vicky Earley

For printing your a quote next job. on CALL TODAY US

My very first bar stools were a collection of the cap seat stools that can still be found at mass-market discounters and indoors superstore groceries. These soft wood beauties taxed my budget at $20 each, and I can honestly say that I over paid.

I don’t, however, regret my time spent with these generics of the decorating world. Because of them, I was able to experience, up-close, personal and first hand, the physics of the barstool and how it must function as a workhorse as well as a design element.

First, a barstool or counter stool is made to the height that allows you to reach a kitchen or bar counter.

My 24-year-old self was naĂŻve about practicalities so the boxes that I schlepped home in my Ford Pinto contained stools that measured 30 inches in height. My counters were 36 inches high so 30-inch stools would slide under them just fine, right? Wrong!

There are some things that we are born knowing, like how to breathe. There are some things that we learn in school, like 36 inches minus 30 inches leaves 6 inches. There are some things that we just have to learn by experience, like the fact that the human leg needs 10 to 12 inches to clear the overhang of the counter.

Not wanting to admit my mistake, I spent

PARTY IN THE PARK 2013 A Celebration for the Community

The first order of business when selecting stools is to get the height right. Counter stools, approximately 24 inches in height, are meant for use with average kitchen counter overhangs.

Bar height, approximately 28 inches high, are intended for bars and raised kitchen counters.

Measure the area under your counter and allow 10 to 12 inches for legs.

The bases of stools are typically made of wood or metal. The key here is that the wood be hardwood and furniture grade if they are to last.

No matter how good they look on day one, cheap stools are destined to behave like the ones I purchased out of naivety.

Stools can feature wood seats or be upholstered with fabric or leather. If upholstered stools will be used for meals on a regular basis, consider selecting an indoor/outdoor fabric for ease of cleaning. Leather is easy to wipe off making it a solid choice, as well Stools should be solid enough to hold the weight of a hefty guest and solid enough to resist tipping over while hold a wiggling 6-yearold. Backs and arms give a more secure feel and add a bit of safety for children.

Removing a pantry opens up the kitchen and allows for an improved flow and even more cabinet space. (Submitted photos)

Footprint change has big impact Commentary by Larry Greene

This 2002 home was built by the current owners before they were an active family. The kitchen that functioned well blueprint for for them at first, now improvement could not keep up with their growing needs.

“We have two young children who are always running around,” said the homeowner. “We needed more space.”

The family loves the neighborhood, so had no interest in moving. Remodeling was the best option.

Original design: A wall that housed a foyer closet and kitchen pantry encroached on the breakfast area, making it tough to fit the family.

“There was not enough room,” said the homeowner. “We did not want to expand out the back of the house because we had just invested in a new patio area. We needed a designer to help us figure out how we could get the space we needed without demolishing the whole house.”

Design phase: Our designer suggested that the wall with the closet and pantry be removed, and replaced with a spot for the refrigerator and new pantry cabinetry. The family already had a

mudroom that could handle the closet items, and the new cabinetry would hold even more than the original closet pantry.

This reconfiguration opened up the breakfast nook area, turning it into a full dining space option. Moving the refrigerator also allowed for additional cabinetry and countertops within the original footprint. With the newly opened kitchen, the homeowners decided to install hand-scraped hardwood floors on the entire first level, enhancing the open feel of the whole space. Trim and bead board were added to the original island to make it look like a piece of furniture.

Final result: “Before, I felt like I was working in half a kitchen,” said the homeowner. “Now I have more space, more countertops and more storage. The design opened up my whole house without changing the square footage. The new pantry cabinets keep us better organized too.”
